Vince Wilfork Says Great Game Against Jets Wasn't Inspired by Wife Telling Him About Negative Article

Plenty of NFL players need bulletin board material to keep them motivated. Not so with Vince Wilfork — but that doesn't mean that an article that basically called him overrated and said he hasn't been great this season didn't get him going (at least subconsciously) this week. Wilfork was asked Thursday night about an article from profootballfocus.com called "What's Wrong With Wilfork?" that asked about his decreased production, noting that "it's nearly as taboo to criticize Wilfork as it is Tom Brady, but the on-field production has been lacking." On Thursday night, Wilfork had one of his best games of the season, controlling the Jets' offensive linemen, wrapping up running backs on key downs and taking part in the shove the gave birth to the best Mark Sanchez moment ever. Wilfork was so good that he was awarded one of NBC's celebratory postgame turkey legs. While Wilfork wouldn't say that his play was in any way related to the negative article, he did acknowledge that he did know about it — thanks to his very displeased wife, Bianca. "She told me about it," he told The Boston Globe. "I think it irritated her more than it did me. I looked at it and I was like, 'It is what it is.' I'm going to keep doing my thing." His "thing" was another huge performance from the longtime defensive anchor. "I work my tail off," Wilfork said. "I do everything that I've been doing. You're going to always have people saying some things. But I try not to pay attention to that." His paying attention to the Jets worked out just fine Thursday.

By Daniel email@example.com Concern over a "suspicious package" shut down the Jonesboro post office for about an hour Monday. A postal worker spotted a backpack about 3 p.m., in the parking lot of the 255 North Main Street office and notified a supervisor. The supervisor called 911, notifying the Jonesboro Police, who called in the bomb squad of the Clayton County Police Department. "It was sitting outside, by the road, by a parking spot," said Maj. Tom Israel, commander of the county's bomb squad. "It wasn't in a box or anything. It was a bag, like a school bag or a book bag." The bomb squad temporarily shut down the post office, cordoning off the area with yellow police tape and turning away afternoon customers. "Just to ensure the citizens stay safe," Israel said. "Any time there's a package that's suspicious, you have to err on the side of caution. That's our job." Bomb-detecting dogs, however, didn't respond to the "suspicious package," like they would with a real explosive, Israel said, and a couple of X-rays didn't show any bomb components or explosive-devices. "We determined there was no explosive," the major said, "so I walked up and carefully unzipped the bag. It was a bowling ball, a red-white-and-blue bowling ball." Police do not know how the ball was left there, in the parking lot, near the road, but assume someone must have set it down and forgotten it. Israel said the squad responded quickly, to the reported package, and the operation went "like clockwork." The all-clear was given and the post office was reopened at about 4 p.m.

best ff seat..current seat expired Poll added!!
Comments (10)
Have you looked at the links at the top of the group (in the "pinned" post)? I refer people to them all the time. :) They have great info in comparing seats.
I usually tell people the evenflo sureride because I LOVE it. :) But the others you mentioned are great, too! We would have maybe gotten a nautilus as our second seat, but my dd didn't like it much. She's picky :)

If I were buying a seat with the idea that I was going to use it as a booster later, I'd pick the Harmony Defender. It's the only one that's trim and light enough that I think I'd actually want to use it in boooster mode as a long-term seat.
If that's not a primary concern, any of the seats you mention will be just fine.

you could look into Graco Argos, it's like Nautilus, but fancier.
The defender didn't impress me, but a lot of ppl like it a lot. Not the looks, but more of a flimsier feel to it for my personally.
You could definitely look into a Sureride.

If the defender hadn't come out I would probably get a pioneer, but at this point if I was buying I would go with a defender.

For an average-sized 3 year old, yeah, the SureLatch may be worth getting if you are going to be moving the seat around a lot. I believe the weight limit on LATCH for that seat is 48 lbs. In most vehicles it won't change. If kiddo is under 40 lbs it might be worthwhile because you should be able to use it for a reasonable amount of time.
Definitely try it out in your car, though. I have run into some vehicles where the placement of the LATCH anchors makes them incompatible with SureLatch.

I like both, though I feel that Snivy is better design-wise, both conceptually and aesthetically. It's also got more personallity than Mudkip, who just kind of gives off a 'generic cute' kind of vibe, if you catch my drift.
As for the meme factor, they're both pretty good. At making me roll my eyes. :P

As expected, the British telecommunications regulator Ofcom has decided to free up spectrum in the 700MHz for mobile broadband use. Already used for 4G/LTE in the U.S. and Asia, this spectrum is great for long-range deployments and providing in-building coverage, and it's a couple of years since an EU-level report recommended freeing it up across Europe. In the U.K., the spectrum will be available for mobile broadband use by the start of 2022 at the latest. Free-to-view digital TV and wireless broadcast microphones will need to switch to other frequencies, though. Ofcom also recently decided to free up more high-capacity 2.3GHz and 3.4GHz spectrum for mobile broadband use in a couple years' time.
Nokia — the remaining phone-free Finnish firm, not the handset business that Microsoft bought and recently renamed — has something in store for us. In a Monday tweet teasing the unveiling of "something" on Tuesday at the Slush Festival in Helsinki, Nokia showed off a black box with the company's familiar logo on the top. All very mysterious, especially considering that, while the company has hinted at a return of its brand to consumer goods, it appeared to do so in the context of brand licensing. The remaining bits of Nokia deal with location-based services and mapping, network equipment and advanced materials research. The black box in that picture doesn't look like any of those.
Europe's last antitrust chief, Joaquin Almunia, couldn't settle his department's four-year case against Google, keen though he was to do so. Now the new European Commission is in place, his successor, Margrethe Vestager, has said she wants to meet with "those most directly affected" by Google's anticompetitive practices. That would include vertical search engines such as Yelp and Foundem, publishers and consumer rights groups. "We are talking about fast moving markets – I have to be sure that we have all the facts up to date to get it right," Vestager said in a Tuesday statement. "The issues at stake in our investigations have a big potential impact on many players… I will therefore need some time to decide on the next steps."
Germany's Deutsche Telekom has launched an enormous venture capital fund, totalling €500 million ($621 million) over five years, that's aimed at newer startups and more mature companies. The fund will be run by a new company called Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners (DTCP) rather than the telco's existing T-Venture arm, which will still retain responsibility for follow-up investments in its hundred-or-so existing portfolio startups, but will be otherwise closed to new investments. DTCP will have a "special focus" on German startups, and will launch in early 2015. People love to whine about the lack of startup funding in Europe, but in truth the last couple years have seen billions of euros put on the table to support local scenes.
The Samaritans suicide prevention charity in the U.K. has suspended its controversial Samaritans Radar Twitter app, which scanned the tweets of people that subscribers follow, in order to find signs of heavy depression and alert the subscribers. Critics, many of whom have experience of mental health issues, pointed out that the app was a gift to stalkers and trolls, and a disincentive to using Twitter to vent. Consent was a major issue, with the people being monitored not even receiving notifications when their tweets were flagged. In a Friday blog post, the Samaritans apologized "to anyone who has inadvertently been caused any distress" and said they would test "potential changes" to the app. The suspension took too long to arrive, but I'm glad it has.

Should I keep pursuing a shy guy? When do guys get creeped out?
guys always claim girls cannot be creepers, but I'm in constant fear of looking like a creep! I really like this shy guy but he rarely initiates... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I admire you =') I would never initiate anything with a guy or text first..
don't! I have no idea what I'm doing! ha ha I've NEVER initiated anything before this guy lol
he must be pretty special then! xD
yeah, he's super sweet and tall and BRILLIANT. definitely makes me think, which is awesome :)
What Guys Said 9
I think its different if a girls is being a "creeper" in oppose to a guy. If you are always trying too get his attention, text him excessively, or overly interested without getting too know him. It comes off as clingy/creepy.
what do you mean "getting to know him"? I mean, we talk almost everyday because we've had classes together for a year. if I even try and skate by him, he'll save me a seat or catch up to me after class. I feel like he likes me, but he doesn't initiate so I get self-conscious when I do it like 'am I reading him wrong?'
- Show Older Hide Older
He is probably just shy. I don't know how to get him to ask you out. He may not want too get into anything serious yet because you two are good friends? If you want just ask him if he wants too do something one on one.
is there a way to do that without looking like a creep?
Well, shy guys will not initiate anything unless you tell him about your feelings for him. For shy guys the fear of rejection is much greater than for any other guy and they typically will question whether the girl is truthfully flirting cause she likes him, just playing him, or she is just a natural flirt...shy guys can't always tell.
I don't know if you are comfortable asking a guy out...especially shy guys. As a shy guy, I love it when a girl is straight up with me and not just constantly flirting. I remember when a co-worker of mine had constantly flirted with me, and I really felt she liked me...but realized she had a boyfriend 8 months later (I was totally pissed at her, but never told her). Us shy guys cannot pick that up.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind approaching a girl. She just has to be single and be interested in me. They say actions speak louder than words...but not this time. You can do all the action you want just short of grabbing his crotch, but telling him is the most effective way to clear the air. Trust me, shy guys LOVE bold woman who are upfront...I know I certainly do.
If you do decide to tell him, tell him in a one on one setting where you know you won't be bothered by anyone (say a park or a quiet room with the door closed). Make sure you touch him when you tell him because touching is extremely powerful. When you touch someone they remember what you said more and will feel more at ease with you. But MAKE SURE you touch him in a unique way that you wouldn't touch anyone else...make him feel special when you do it. Otherwise you'll lose him. So you can wrap your arm around his arm and clinch his hand on the arm that you wrapped with both your hands. VERY POWERFUL. That's what I would suggest. Let me know how it goes!
For a girl to be a "creeper" she has to go out of her way to be it...
Most guys are OK with a few random texts.. Even being flirty...
Its when you start following him to his classes you don't go to. Going through his trash or sending nude pics of your self to him you become.a creepy girl..
Most guys are even OK with you running up to them maybe one a month or maybe week and giving them a hug..
If I guy dose that the girls label him creepy right away...
You should try to get him to open up.. Ask him out..
Guys are not the only ones who can ask people out...
First off, guys are very dense and can't tell when a girl is flirting with them. That said, I think becka afraid you will think he is flirting with you. DO NOT ask him about this. If you ask him he will lie. Instead ask him out because then he knows how you feel and has no fear of rejection.
If you text and call him too much, or try too hard to spend time with him, you may scare him off.
Don't stop pursuing him, but be wary of how often you make an approach.
ok, so for example, I texted him Thursday night to say what's up and we joked for a while... he hasn't texted me since, so if I text him sunday, is that scaring him? do I look desperate? and why isn't he texting me?
What Girls Said 5
Honestly, A lot of girls go through this mess. Including myself. [Your question = STORY OF MY LIFE!] Anyhow, I've found that if I wait a couple days in between texts, there is more to talk about, which means.. MORE HINTING! Guys really do need a hint that you like them. Calling something they do or say "cute" may work. But don't overdo it! Soon, he'll get the hint & act on it, whether it's good or bad.
Good luck& have patience!

CFN 2011 Rankings
Sept. 5, Week 1
- 2011 AP Rankings
Coaches' Poll
Scoreboard & Game Recaps
2011 Preseason Rankings
Week 1 Rankings, No. 26-120
1. Alabama 1-0
Last Week: W, Kent State 48-7
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Crimson Tide defense was as good as advertised versus the Golden Flashes, permitting only six first downs and 4-of-20 third down conversions. Kent State finished with -9 yards on the ground as it constantly lost battles on the ground with 'Bama linebackers Dont'a Hightower, Courtney Upshaw and Trey Depriest.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: If quarterback play was a concern in Tuscaloosa during the offseason, it's a full-blown crisis now that the year has begun. In the face of an overmatched defense, A.J. McCarron and Phillip Sims combined to throw for one touchdown and four telling picks in sloppy debuts in the spotlight
2. Oklahoma 1-0
Last Week: W, Tulsa 47-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Sooners had few problems with a potentially dangerous foe, coasting to a 47-14 win over Tulsa. The offense was predictably potent, racking up 663 yards behind the play of QB Landry Jones, RB Dominique Whaley and WR Ryan Broyles.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Oklahoma would like to tighten up its pass coverage after allowing 271 yards through the air to G.J. Kinne on only 18 completions. The Golden Hurricane posted a pair of plays of more than 50 yards, exposing flaws in the Sooners secondary.
Last Week: W, Oregon 40-27
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Tigers were brilliant in the mauling of Oregon, the first opening game between top 5 teams in over a decade. The offense proved capable with Jarrett Lee at the controls, and the D was splendid in confusing the up-tempo Ducks throughout the night.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Yeah, LSU put up 40 points, but the output was a little deceptive. CB Tyrann Mathieu scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery, and the offense was aided by three turnovers. The Tigers managed only 273 total yards, and still have plenty of work to do on offense.
4. Florida State 1-0
Last Week: W, Louisiana-Monroe 34-0
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Seminoles stoned a pretty good Warhawks offense, limiting their visitors to less than 200 yards. Florida State was back to its 2010 form, getting to the quarterback five times to help pitch the shutout.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: While the 'Noles were bailed out by QB E.J. Manuel, they'll need more help from the ground game as the season develops. The reshuffled offensive line had issues creating space for the ballcarriers, who failed to produce 100 yards on 27 carries.
5. South Carolina 1-0
Last Week: W, South Carolina 56-37
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: When the Gamecocks offense needed to rally, Steve Spurrier's best attack in years was up to the challenge. After going scoreless in the first 23 minutes, South Carolina eight touchdowns, six on offense, one on defense and one on special teams.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: South Carolina's worries in the secondary were not allayed in the opener. Pirate Dominique Davis threw four touchdown passes, connecting with Lance Lewis and Justin Hardy 24 times for 199 yards.
6. Wisconsin 1-0
Last Week: W, UNLV 51-17
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: With Russell Wilson at the helm, the Badgers offense was in midseason form, scoring seven touchdowns in the first 37 minutes. They cranked out nearly 500 yards of balanced offense, generating 241 yards on the ground and 258 through the air.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The run D won't get high marks when the staff breaks down the film over the weekend. The Badgers yielded three runs of at least 14 yards, which might have been higher had UNLV not been forced to abandon the run.
7. Stanford 1-0
Last Week: W, San Jose State 57-3
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Cardinal was never threatened after a somewhat slow start, rolling to a 54-point obliteration of the Spartans. It produced three passing touchdowns and four on the ground, while limiting San Jose State to a single field goal just before halftime.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: As the season unfolds and the level of play improves, the Cardinal will need to do a better job of creating pressure. With a new staff calling the shots, Stanford had just a pair of sacks, falling short of last season's frenetic defensive pace.
8. Arkansas 1-0
Last Week: W, Missouri State 51-7
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: No Ryan Mallett. No problem. Starter Tyler Wilson and backup Brandon Mitchell combined to go a tight 28-of-35 for 364 yards, three touchdowns and no picks.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The offensive line will need to raise the level of its play as the opening month develops. The Hogs allowed three Missouri State sacks, while paving the way for just 102 rushing yards on 33 carries.
9. Oregon 0-1
Last Week: L, LSU 40-27
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Even after losing to LSU in Arlington, the Ducks will be fine, especially on offense. The rebuilt offensive line played relatively well, allowing no sacks, and rookie DeAnthony Thomas will be another of Darron Thomas' exciting weapons once he gets a better grip on the ball.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: For the second straight game, Oregon got in the ring with an SEC heavyweight and came up short. The offense sputtered, and the staff failed to make the right halftime adjustments, allowing the first 17 points of the second half.
10. Texas A&M 1-0
Last Week: W. SMU 46-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Everything clicked for the running game. Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael ripped through the SMU defense, while QB Ryan Tannehill was nearly perfect. All the offensive parts appeared to be in midseason form.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The tackling could've been better. The D tightened up in the second half and didn't allow a thing, but it struggled early on to get SMU RB Zach Line down. The defense might need to be more physical, and it gets next week against Idaho to get there before dealing with the showdown against Oklahoma State.
11. Oklahoma State 1-0
Last Week: W, Louisiana-Lafayette 61-34
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Cowboys are back to their old antics on offense, torching the Cajuns for well over 660 relatively balanced yards. While there were too many mistakes, such as picks and penalties, Okie State has to be pleased by the emergence of RB Joseph Randle and WR Tracy Moore as complements to stars Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Weeden should be fine, but can no longer afford another three-pick game, particularly with Arizona coming to Stillwater in a few days. Two of his interceptions went the other way for six, making the outcome appear a tad closer than reality.
12. Virginia Tech 1-0
Last Week: W, Appalachian State 66-13
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Well, the Hokies made sure there'd be no repeat of last September's damning loss to an FCS opponent. In a wire-to-wire effort against a prickly opponent, Tech registered the game's first 52 points and spun a nearly perfect effort on both sides of the ball.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Since the Mountaineers are not a typical FCS squad, it's hard to find much fault in this game. As the schedule gets tougher, Virginia Tech will need to prove that it's patched up last season's holes in pass protection and run defense.
13. Florida 1-0
Last Week: W, Florida Atlantic 41-3
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: Will Muschamp's revamped defense never allowed the Owls to see the light of day, holding them to 137 total yards and 11 first downs. The unit has youth and energy, and is just going to get better as the season progresses.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Embattled QB John Brantley still has a lot to prove as he embarks on his final season in Gainesville. He did enough on Saturday night, going 21-of-30 for 229 yards, a touchdown and two picks, but must evolve before conference play begins.
14. Boise State 1-0
Last Week: W, Georgia 35-21
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Broncos thoroughly outclassed a prominent SEC program in its own backyard. Boise State was efficient on offense in the win over Georgia and oppressive on defense, getting six sacks from the underrated, Shea McClellin-led defensive front.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: As it continues to navigate 2011, a familiar foe is going to haunt Boise State—its schedule. The Bulldogs are still a struggling program coming off a 6-7 season, and the Broncos might not face another ranked team until the bowl game.
15. Ohio State 1-0
Last Week: W, Akron 42-0
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Buckeyes were razor sharp in the debut of Luke Fickell on the sidelines, dominating the way they should against a MAC visitor. Never threatened, Ohio State allowed just five first downs, outgaining the Zips 517-90.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Sure, absolutely everything went right for the Buckeyes, but how much stock can you put in a visit from one of the MAC's bottom-feeders? Ohio State still has plenty of concerns on offense, which won't be exposed until the schedule stiffens in a couple of weeks.
16. Clemson 1-0
Last Week: W, Troy 43-19
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: So far, so good regarding Chad Morris' new up-tempo offense at Clemson. The Tigers took flight in the second half, scoring 30 points against a quality opponent, and getting scores from freshmen Mike Bellamy, Sammy Watkins and D.J. Howard.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The feel-good atmosphere around Death Valley today is justifiable. However, Clemson still needs to prove it can achieve a higher level of offensive consistency before the rugged stretch run of Auburn, Florida State and Virginia Tech that begins in two weeks.
17. Missouri 1-0
Last Week: W, Miami U. 17-6
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: > Mizzou played every bit like the Big 12's nastiest defense in the opener, holding the RedHawks to just 270 yards and a lone touchdown. The Tigers registered three sacks, two from DE Brad Madison, and showed the swarm tackling and intensity needed to compete in a pass-happy league.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The Tigers are going to need more from the offense as the season progresses. They were sloppy from wire-to-wire, providing little support for young QB James Franklin. The passing game lacked pop, and the third-down efficiency was a far cry from recent Missouri squads.
18. Nebraska 1-0
Last Week: W, Chattanooga 40-7
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Huskers appear ready to roll once again on the ground now that Taylor Martinez is operating at full strength. The shifty quarterback rushed for well over 100 yards and three touchdowns, while getting a solid effort out of new feature back Rex Burkhead.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Yeah, Martinez's game still revolves around his athleticism, but Nebraska needs him to become a more effective passer. Against soft competition, the sophomore remained spotty through the air, going 11-of-22 for 116 yards and no touchdowns.
19. Arizona State 1-0
Last Week: W, UC Davis 48-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Sun Devils disposed of the Aggies in workmanlike fashion, outgaining them 517-243. The offense was impressively balanced, getting two touchdowns from QB Brock Osweiler and three on the ground.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: How will Arizona State's two biggest need areas, the offensive line and the secondary, react to an uptick in competition? We'll all have a better idea after Missouri visits the desert this weekend.
20. Mississippi State 1-0
Last Week: W, Memphis 59-14
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Bulldogs picked up where they left off in last year's Gator Bowl, ringing up 50 points in consecutive games for the first time since 1914. Unfazed by a road crowd, they amassed a school-record 645 yards behind the play of QB Chris Relf, RB Vick Ballard and WR Jameon Lewis.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The D will need to plug a few holes in run defense before next week's trip to the Plains. State allowed Memphis' Artaves Gibson, Billy Foster and Jerrell Rhodes to rush for 171 yards and a score on 36 carries.
21. Georgia 1-0
Last Week: L, Boise State 35-21
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Bulldogs are a young team that's going to get better as the season progresses. Aaron Murray, in particular, is one of the nation's best underclassman quarterbacks, and appeared to forge a bond with rookie WR Malcolm Mitchell on Saturday night.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The Dawgs did absolutely nothing in the Georgia Dome that resembled a Top 25 team or SEC threat. The offensive line was a particular concern. It yielded six Boise State sacks, and Brandon Boykin's burst aside, produced only 57 yards on the ground.
22. Michigan 1-0
Last Week: W, Western Michigan 34-10
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: It's just one game against a MAC opponent, but the Wolverines already look like a different team with Brady Hoke and defensive coordinator Greg Mattison on staff. In less than three quarters of a rain-shortened victory, Michigan produced a pair of defensive scores from LB Brandon Herron.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: As the season progresses, the Wolverines will want to do a better job of controlling the clock than it did on Saturday. Western Michigan dominated time of possession, running 17 more plays than its host.
23. West Virginia 1-0
Last Week: W, Marshall 34-13
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: In the rain and the wind, the offense still showed a spark with QB Geno Smith able to get the passing game going despite facing a stiff Marshall pass rush. The defense didn't allow a Herd touchdown, with the only MU trip to the end zone coming on a punt return.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The running game was non-existent. Smith threw for 249 yards, but the ground game averaged just 1.6 yards per carry finishing with 42 yards and a score on 26 carries.
24. Texas 1-0
Last Week: W, Rice 34-9
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: The Longhorns defense was as good as advertised on Saturday, keeping a pretty good Owls offense out of the end zone. Led by linebackers Emmanuel Acho and Keenan Robinson, Texas stiffened when it mattered most, on third downs and in the red zone.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Is anyone convinced the 'Horns have solved their issues on offense? QB Garrett Gilbert and an iffy offensive line still have to prove it's not 2010 all over again versus the better defenses on the schedule.
25. South Florida 1-0
Last Week: W, Notre Dame 23-20
Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: As double-digit underdogs on the road, the Bulls stole Notre Dame's thunder with a catapult upset. The attacking D was the hero, scoring the game's first touchdown and creating five timely turnovers to stifle the Notre Dame offense.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: The offense in Tampa still has a long, long way to go before matching the defense. B.J. Daniels remains the erratic leader of a feeble system that was just 2-of-14 on third down attempts in South Bend. - CFN 2011
Week 1 Rankings, No. 26-120

Whether we print journalists like it or not, we bloggers are here to stay. Here, Bill Conlin, a sportwriters for the Philadelphia Daily News, makes the mistake of trading ugly e-mails with a blogger.
The only positive thing I can think of about Hitlerâs time on earth—Iâm sure he would have eliminated all bloggers.
In Colonial times, bloggers were called âPamphleteers.â They hung on street corners handing them out to passersby. Now, they hang out on electronic street corners, hoping somebody mouses on to their pretentious sites. Different medium, same MO. Shakespeare accidentally summed up the genre best with these words from a MacBeth soliloquy: â. . .a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. . .â

Ubuntu Developer Week
The first Ubuntu Developer Week starts next Monday.
For a whole week, anybody interested in doing so can shoulder surf Ubuntu experts at work and bombard them with questions. Various IRC channels will serve as classrooms; some of them are already online.
Ubuntu development is not a simple question and answer game: on the contrary, over the years, a complex communications structure has established itself. The talks attempt to explain how it works, and which processes run in what Ubuntu refers to as MOTUs (Masters of the Universe). Packaging for Ubuntu also plays an important role. To be able to maintain the enormous collection of packages, Ubuntu developers rely on many other contributors.
On top of this, the Developer Week's organizers will be looking to demonstrate bug hunting and fixing techniques. To avoid the event becoming too chaotic, the organizers have also laid down a number of rules to keep communications running efficiently.

Greeting a new leader
CORPUS CHRISTI - Cmdr. Michael Leupold took the helm of Training Squadron 28 Friday during a ceremony at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. Leupold, who has served as executive officer since May 2006, is the 47th commanding officer since the formation of the squadron in 1960.
Cmdr. James Fisher, who had led the squadron, is moving to San Diego to assume the duties of air boss on the USS Bonhomme Richard.
Training Squadron 28 trains more than 200 primary student naval aviators per year in primary instruction and intermediate maritime and helicopter instruction. Squadron students stood at attention as their new commander took the stage at the start of the ceremony. At Naval Air Station Kingsville Training Squadron 21 also had a change of command ceremony Friday as Cmdr. John P. Gasperino turned over the helm to Cmdr. Charles C. Moore II, who has served as the squadron's executive officer since June 2006.

Before attacking the IRS offices, Stack burned down his wife's home. While many debated Stack's motives for the arson, Bell said it was likely all part of his anti-government rampage.
"As we pay taxes, we pay taxes on our home as well, and my belief is that the house was part of the government," she said. "He wanted to get rid of what was left."
Bell, who lives in Norway and criticized the American system as "very faulty," said that she hopes "everything" will change in light of her father's attack.
"But Rome was not built in one day. But one small step at a time. One step at a time," she said.
Bell is hardly the first to praise her father's anti-government stance. Within hours of the attack, message boards across the Internet lit up in support of Stack's cause, if not the deadly act itself.
The suicide note got around 20 million hits online before it was taken down at the FBI's request, according to Alex Melen, president and founder of T35, the network service provider for the Web site on which the note was posted.
Melen, 25, said within minutes of taking the note down, the company was "bombarded" with around 3,000 e-mails demanding Stack's words be reposted. Some of the e-mails contained threats against Melen.
"What's funny is most people were pretty much praising him," Melen told ABC News last week.
Several pro-Stack Facebook groups popped in the hours after the attack, garnering hundreds of members and postings on Internet message boards from mainstream to extremist, sites, proclaiming Stack a hero and patriot.
The positive view of Stack's personal vendetta against the government online is a reflection of what experts are calling an "explosive" growth in the anti-tax, anti-government movement.
"Extremist groups are already aligning behind [Joe Stack], beginning to talk about him as a hero," said Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which studies American militia and hate groups. "The growth of those groups has been astounding."
Bob Schulz, founder of the anti-tax group We the People Foundation, said that while he only supports nonviolent protest, he can understand Stack's motives and said it reflects a movement unlike any he's ever seen.
"There's a huge patriot movement," Schulz told ABC News Friday. "I've been doing this kind of work for 30 years. Never have I seen the likes of what's going on now. It's delightful."
Schulz compared Stack's attack to Timothy McVeigh's Oklahoma City bombing, which claimed 168 lives, saying despite the desperation, any violent act harms the movement.
"Anybody that commits a violent act against the government sets things back," Schulz said. "The government uses that as more reason to further clamp down. ... Timothy McVeigh set things back. Joe Stack set things back."
Bell seemed to agree.
"If [Stack] had actually just stood up to the government, [using] freedom of speech and did all he could besides doing what he did -- flying his airplane into a building and burning his house -- I think that would've been more effective," she said. "He stood up to the system. But at the same time, he loved his family. We are at a great loss."

Toss Away the Left's Schedule Sheet
Why the president should wait to announce his Supreme Court nominee(s).
3:00 PM, Jul 8, 2005 • By DAVID M. WAGNER
IN 1987, the Reagan administration seriously underestimated the energy and ruthlessness that its opponents would be willing to bring to bear against a Supreme Court nominee.
There was no excuse for being thus taken by surprise: earlier campaigns against various Court of Appeals nominees had shown what the organized left was willing to do. For example, Daniel Manion--confirmed in a squeaker, by a Republican Senate; Alex Kozinski--confirmed after suffering attacks for demanding work from his employees; Jeff Sessions--defeated by a 10-8 Judiciary Committee vote (with Arlen Specter, now chairman of the Judiciary Committee member, among the nays). These experiences even led to the publication by the Free Congress Foundation of a book called The Judges' War, edited by Patrick McGuigan. And all this was before the Bork battle.
The first sign that Judge Bork would become the victim of a one-sided war was the fact that nothing was done on his behalf throughout the long slow-news season of July and August.
Nothing was done by Bork himself, because he respected the traditions of his profession, and it was considered unseemly for judicial nominees to "campaign." Nothing was done by the administration because the White House didn't think it was necessary. (Full disclosure: I was at the Justice Department at that time, and I have some reason to think a more aggressive strategy was advocated at our quarters than in the West Wing.) And little was done by "the groups," because there simply were not that many activists on the right focused on judicial nominations: there was the Free Congress Foundation, whose judicial confirmation efforts were ably led by the aforementioned McGuigan, but that was about it.
As if failing to show up on the battlefield were not bad enough, the administration's timing played perfectly into the hands of Ted Kennedy, Ralph Neas, et al. The nomination was announced just before the Fourth of July weekend. Kennedy rushed to the Senate floor with his infamous "In Judge Bork's America" speech, and that was what resounded through the media all through the long weekend. The speech galvanized anti-Bork forces, but its principal impact was probably that of chilling potential supporters and preventing early commitments to vote for the nominee.
Furthermore, far from sitting back and enjoying the ripple effects of his speech, Kennedy then spent the Fourth of July weekend phoning leaders of liberal activist groups, sharing with them Ralph Neas's opinion that defeating Bork was "eminently doable," and assuring them, in case they had doubted it, that their efforts would find a sympathetic echo within the Senate Judiciary Committee.
One could go on, but the story of the anti-Bork strategies has been told before. The important point is that this is not 1987. For one thing, conservative groups are ready--several of them, adequately funded, with both elite and grassroots leadership, and covering social and business conservatives alike. And the White House, whether it has the stomach for a fight or not, will at least not be surprised if it gets one.
As of this writing, no nominee has been announced; all we have on the table is Justice O'Connor's resignation (effective when her replacement is confirmed, so she'll be back next year if the fight drags on), escalating rumors about Chief Justice Rehnquist, and faint rumors about Justices Stevens and Ginsburg. But all these rumors could come to fruition, and that would not affect my principal recommendation to the administration: do not announce any nominees until Labor Day, or late August at the earliest.
The principal reason is to avoid letting the nominee(s) get done to a turn over the left's summertime barbecues, as happened to Bork. Instead, let liberal activists shadow-box with hypotheticals, and let the public get good and bored with the whole subject.
It will be objected that the Senate can't perform its advice and consent function (even assuming a restrictive, docile interpretation of that function) on such short notice. But this objection ignores the on-the-ground realities of modern judicial confirmation politics. You can take it to the bank that Democratic Senate Judiciary offices have files this thick on every conceivable nominee. Republicans should have files of their own, or easy access to them. More than enough research for an adequate advice and consent process has already been done. The only process a slowed-down schedule would prevent would be a protracted show-trial of the nominee under cover of "hearings." And that should be prevented.

Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu'u II
|Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu'u II
|Personal details
|5 August 1921
|20 May 1975
|Laulu Fetauimalemau Mata'afa
|Paramount chief & former prime minister of Samoa
Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu'u II, CBE (5 August 1921 – 20 May 1975) was a paramount chief and the first Prime Minister of Samoa. He was Prime Minister from 1 October 1959 until February 1970 and again from March 1973 until his death in 1975. He was bestowed the paramount matai chief title of Mata'afa in 1948, following the death of his father, Mata'afa Faumuina Fiame Mulinu'u I, a leader of Samoa's pro-independent Mau movement.
In 1957, he entered national politics in the general election from the electoral constituency of Lotofaga in the Atua district at the east end of Upolu island.
Paramount Chief & Titles[edit]
Mulinu'u II (first name) held a number of important chief titles in Samoa. His highest title was Mata'afa which made him one of the four most important Paramount Chiefs in the country. The title Mata'afa is part of the Tama-a-Aiga ('Sons of the Families')[1] a quartet of chief titles, which were of national Paramount rank at the time. The other three Tama-a-Aiga Paramount Chief titles are Malietoa, Tupua and Tuimaleali'ifano.
His other names Fiame and Faumuina are also individual chief titles. As one individual can hold a number of different chief titles in Samoa, the exact order of an individual's 'names' can sometimes change. For example, he is referred to as Mata'afa Faumuina Fiame Mulinu'u II in Democracy and custom in Sāmoa: an uneasy alliance by Asofou Soʻo.[1] Individual chief titles (i.e. Mata'afa, Fiame, Faumuina) are designated by consensus of extended families and kinship ties under Samoa's traditional 'matai' system, and in relation to a particular village or political district.[2] A 'matai' title is collectively 'owned' by families through blood ties and kinship.[1] The bestowal of a chief title upon an individual is done by traditional ceremony and ritual, marking the support and approval of an entire extended family and kin group for that person to take on the responsibilities of a leader of their family.[1] Only 'matai,' those with chief titles can become a member of parliament in Samoan politics. This still exists today.
The high ranking chief titles of Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu'u II played an important part in his entrance into parliament on the cusp of Samoa's political independence where a European political system would exist alongside Samoa's traditional socio-political structures.
Apart from the paramount chief title Mata'afa, he was also a descendant from another high ranking Tama-a-Aiga title, Malietoa, adding weight to his selection as the country's first prime minister. Mata'afa Iosefo, a previous holder of the paramount chiefly title had played a key role in the rivalry for kingship of Samoa during the country's colonial era.
The word 'chief' in the Samoan language is 'matai' and chief names come first in Samoan naming conventions. Matai titles in Samoa can be bestowed upon women or men. The wives of the Tama-a-Aiga are referred to with the cultural honorific Masiofo.[3]
Personal life[edit]
Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu'u II was the son of Paramount Chief Mata'afa Faumuina Fiame Mulinu'u I (died 1948) who had great influence with the colonial administration and a president of the Mau movement.
Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu'u II was educated at the Marist Brothers school in Apia. He married Laulu Fetauimalemau Mata'afa, a teacher educated in New Zealand and who later became Samoa's High Commissioner (1993–1997) to New Zealand.[4] After their marriage, Laulu was referred to as Masiofo. On his death in 1975, his wife ran for his vacant seat in the Lotofaga Electoral Constituency. She won and entered parliament, under the chief title of Laulu, also bestowed from Lotofaga, becoming only the second woman in Samoa to become a member of parliament. His daughter Fiame Naomi Mata'afa now holds the high chief of title 'Fiame and has been a member of parliament for many years, holding senior positions on cabinet.
Fiame Mata'afa Mulinu'u II was one of the framers of the Constitution of Samoa and held a pivotal leadership role in Samoa's transition from colonial rule to political independence in 1962, in his dual roles as Prime Minister as well as a high ranked paramount chief. He was also part of the political family 'Aiga Sa Levalasi.'[1]
He entered parliament in the 1957 general election under his title Fiame from the electoral constituency of Lotofaga. Afterwards, in the same year, he became Minister of Agriculture in the new Legislative Assembly of Samoa.[1] In October 1959, he was elected by the legislative assembly as the first Prime Minister of Samoa. He was elected again at the general election in 1961.
At the time, "a substantial majority of members of the working committee on self-government, favoured 'a full-blooded' Samoan to be the country's first prime minister."[1]
In 1960, he travelled to New York where he addressed the 4th Committee of the General Assembly. In the same year, he went to Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom for his investure as Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.[1]
At the formal independence ceremony on 1 January 1962 when Samoa officially gained political independence, Fiame Mata'afa Mulinu'u II lowered the New Zealand flag.[1] At the 1964 and 1967 general elections, he was returned as Prime Minister, unopposed.

RARE ARCHIVAL 35MM SCREENING sponsored by VULCAN VIDEO!!!
Departed/dearly missed Canadian auteur Bob Clark was the force behind PORKY'S, BABY GENIUSES 2 and some of the most enduring horror films in cinematic history. No one will argue the innovation and scarepower of the original BLACK CHRISTMAS or the flawless Ed Gein opera DERANGED. But the often overlooked DEATHDREAM is his most compelling dramatic achievement.
The parents of a Vietnam war casualty find their grieving rudely interrupted by their son knocking on the front door. The joyful reunion is short-lived as his increasingly bloodthirsty behavior begins to hint that he may not have made it home alive after all. Horror effects legend Tom Savini lends some of his earliest work to this perfectly constructed destroyer with teeth-grittingly strong performances from all on screen.
This is especially true of John Marley, an incredibly talented actor who horror fans will recognize from THE CAR and wine-sipping college students will recall from Cassavetes' FACES. The other 99.7% of society wouldn't give a rat's ass about either film -- or anything else made prior to MATRIX II -- and should be shot in the back of the head. (Zack)

Let me tell you a joke about sodium... Na.
**** Cancelled**** - I've met someone and interested in seeing where it goes. Accordingly, I am not looking to meet anyone else. Unlike 99% of guys out there I don't date around or string people along. Accordingly, I've cancelled my membership. If things don't work out then who knows, maybe I'll be back, otherwise, good luck in your search. I am a light hearted guy who tends to always find a reason to smile or laugh. I am well traveled and enjoy studying other cultures and historical sites around the world. I also like to adventure travel so up for packing up and going to hike the grand canyon or white water raft down the river nile... if they allow that I am not quite sure they do though a mad hippo might totally flip the boat and then you would be left to fight off crocs and rampaging hippos. I am rather goofy by nature if you haven't figure that out by now. I have a high stress very serious job and while I know to behave at formal events, I tend to find myself giving tribute to mundane office product in poetry. Of course there are things that I take seriously and have my passion, including working with international organizations to end human trafficking which I find to be a most morally reprehensible societal degradation (while I may be goofy I can be well spoken). I am good at rubbing shoulders, feet, necks, etc. So a bonus that comes with this dashingly handsome man and charming wit, is a rather decent massage and shoulder rub when you have a long day. I know kung fu. - This fact deserves its own line ha! I am a mix raced guy - my mother is a super white country gal who was also a hippy and so in college she met my indian dad and that was the cool thing to do I suppose. Anywho, I think I'm pretty good looking from that bi-product - beside half way between India and the United States is roughly Italy, and given my italian sounding last name and ability to speak italian and good friends there, I seem to be mistaken for italian all the time. I eat healthy and exercise, yes I cheat on occasion and have cheesy fries from snuffers, but during the day to day, I hold to the notion that if you take care of your body, it will take care of you. That being said, I tend to be attracted to women who are healthy... but I think that is a given I mean really, who is like, oh wow, that diseased person is hot!! Traits I'm honest, I am sure most guys say that but as my friends know, I am one of the few true renaissance men left. I am loyal, I have never cheated, while a hopeless flirt (a trait that lends to my legal abilities) I have never in my life cheated and do not really get jealous. I would hope that whomever I might be so inclined to meet would be loyal and honest as well. Should any of the above seem appealing shoot me a wink or an email and lets grab dinner, go bowling, maybe go to the theatre or other event.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 8/27/12
The New York Jets have had concerns about the right tackle spot throughout the preseason, and on Monday they tried to address that issue by acquiring Jason Smith from the St. Louis Rams, multiple media outlets reported Monday. In exchange, the Jets gave the Rams offensive tackle Wayne Hunter, who had been part of the problem for the Jets on the offensive line. In fact, both teams are banking on getting improved play from players who have been disappointments. Smith was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, but he has not lived up to expectations and recently lost his starting job on the right side to Barry Richardson. But the Jets are willing to try their luck with Smith. Earlier this summer the Jets acquired another first-round pick, tackle Jeff Otah, hoping to improve their offensive line, but Otah failed the physical. Hunter was not the answer on the right side for the Jets, losing his starting job to Austin Howard. Smith took a pay cut during the spring a...

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 3/27/13
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Behind a pair of dark sunglasses, Dayton Moore's eyes dart around a spring training practice field in sunny Surprise, Ariz., trying to take in everything happening all at once. There's the Kansas City Royals' new-look pitching staff going through stretches on an adjacent field, and a lineup filled with promising young position players who've yet to fully live up to expectations preparing to take batting practice as the regular season draws near. Altogether, they hold the future of the Royals in the supple leather pockets of their mitts, in what could become a make-or-break year for a franchise grown weary of losing. "We haven't been to the playoffs since 1985," Moore says, the Royals general manager finally breaking his silence. "Absolutely, there's a sense of urgency for us to set a winning course." More than any other reason, that's why Moore has gambled his professional future - not to mention a rebuilding project five years in the making - with a series of...

Went in thinking Yukiko, but haven't really figured out how to play her yet. Messed around with Yosuke and Naoto a bit and liked them. Yu is kind of sluggish. Elizabeth seems interesting too. Haven't played anyone else yet. I'm still figuring it out is what I'm saying.
I've been rotating from Yosuke, Naoto and Yukiko. Yosuke and Yukiko are great because their quick attacks have more range than you'd expect (and Yosuke's is hella fast). Naoto is good because her chump combo deals a ton of damage, and her gun stuff does too. Only problem is I feel like a punk projectile spamming, even if that's the character's entire hook.
I like Chie''s dragon punch move, does a ton of damage, but I hate how little range her basic attacks have.
Now that I've spent some time using everyone, I'm still going to main Naoto (she;s my favoriteeee) but I'm also going to use Elizabeth because I dig her playstyle
You guys already have mains? Jesus that was quick! I still haven't even managed to play as all the characters yet...
Chie not only because she is Chie but her playstyle reminds me of Shadow Dio in Jojo.

Definitely Naoto, but I do bounce between Yosuke and Yu as well occasionally.
Also: I hate playing against Yukiko. So much. Soooo much.
Playing Mitsuru. I think I'm 11-47 right now. Why won't you guys fight me?
Decided on Liz as soon as I heard she was playable and after using her I don't think I'll back off anytime soon. It's pretty lucky that her playstyle seems to immediately click with me better than the rest of the cast as I'm still trying to learn the nuances of an Arc fighting game.

@TheFakePsychic said:

Couldn't agree more.
Yeah she is a bitch. A good way to fight her is to make her whiff her moves by mixups. Putting her in a corner she is prone to burst or DP and you can counter easily. Also it's good to know your character's movement. I tried Akihiko vs Yukiko and his jumps are not high enough to get through fans easily, his hop is too short and I believe his evasive roll doesn't last enough. For Chie, her speed is able to beat Yukiko's zoning and annoying factor.
@ThePhantomnaut: You can evasive roll if you time it right to the move she is doing. You can Weave the fans, but you have to be careful and not leave yourself open when she sends her Persona out. If you can evasive behind her when she attacks and get a shot in, you can get some decent damage and hopefully put some pressure on, since the few Yukiko players that I've beat absolutely crumble under pressure if I can keep it on them and don't screw it up.

I really like how Chie plays but I've yet to try everyone. I'm going through the story mode first before I try on maining someone.
I've only played as Charlie, Yosuke, Chie and Kanji so far, but so far Chie is my favorite and best character, with Charlie as close second. From the looks of it, I may really enjoy Naoto, but I have yet to try her out. I do always dig a fighting game character with a "fucking gun" though. Stryker is my fave in Mortal Kombat...

If you can nail high damaging throws, Kanji can work. Chie has great normal attacks and pretty good when putting folks in the corner thanks to her movement and Persona normals. Yu has great damage combos and his range with the sword is good for spacing. If you are choosing Naoto, she has really good zoning with her guns and traps. There are skulls below the opponent if you play Naoto and once you deplete those with every 5th shot and some traps, you get two additional instant kills from your supers in addition to your regular instant. Dunno about Brosuke but he is pretty fast and good for interesting mixup opportunities.

Didn't really like Mitsuru at first, charge moves aren't my favorite, but she has become my main, replacing Yosuke (sorry partner).
I play mostly Yukiko and Mitsuru, so those two are vying for it. I want to develop a Naoto and an Elizabeth though, as it fits my style. Also, any labrys players should add me I need to learn a bit about how to play vs her.
I've started messing around with Labrys but not enough to consider her as upstaging my new main of Mitsuru. I thought it'd be Naoto, but Mitsuru is just too fun to use.
How do you get better at this game? I spent a whole lot of time doing the challenges to see who I liked best then loaded up arcade and got killed by the first guy, there's just so much to think about in this game and it moves really fast. I'm not exactly amazing at fighting games but I was decent with MK.
Maining Elizabeth I guess because I like being cheap as all hell. Her standard projectile is so absurdly unfair, and she has an SP skill that's a heal. All online opponents thus far have reacted to it by blocking, fearing an attack. That won't last long I'm sure.

That Zio is pretty slow, though. I'm weaning myself off of relying on it because if they time an airdash right it's such a free punish.
