Do you have anything else to add or are you simply going to continue to complain about negativity and call people 'clowns'?

A huge leap ahead for Joe Flacco?
Similarities to Giants QB Eli Manning are difficult to ignore
Originally Published: September 9, 2012
By Khaled Elsayed | Pro Football Focus
This season will be a stiff test for the Baltimore Ravens' defense. Terrell Suggs is injured. Jarret Johnson is gone. And Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are a year older. There is a chance this won't be the Baltimore defense we've gotten used to seeing impose its will on offenses, and it likely means it won't be able to be relied on quite so much going forward.
Someone needs to step up, and Ravens fans have a right to think (after their team spent the 19th pick of the 2008 draft on him) that man is Joe Flacco.
He obviously agrees, stating earlier this year he felt he was the best quarterback in the NFL. Now all that's left to do is to back that statement up.
Flacco isn't the first player to come out with a seemingly outlandish statement. He's not even the first quarterback to express so much faith in himself that it makes you question his sanity. Last year that player was none other than Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning, and the Ravens faithful are hoping that isn't where the similarities end.
History repeating itself?
At the end of the 2010 season, in which the New York Giants failed to make the playoffs, there were plenty of doubts about Manning -- and rightfully so. His career had plenty of high moments (including a Super Bowl win), but enough lows that the term "streaky" was becoming more appropriate to describe his play. Take his work under pressure. In 2010, he completed just 44.7 percent of pressured passes, good for only 22nd in the league and behind quarterbacks like Shaun Hill and Derek Anderson. In our Pro Football Focus grading system he earned a minus-3.4 grade, and his quarterback rating plummeted to just 60.6.
But those high-level numbers hid some of the context: After starting the season with six consecutive negatively-graded games, Manning would go on to finish with seven significantly positively-graded performances out of 10.
Flawed, but not fatally
You can't ignore that the Ravens quarterback had serious issues last year. Flacco completed just 27.85 percent of all deep passes, ranking 28th in the league -- worse than Mark Sanchez. He had an adjusted accuracy rating (spikes, throwaways, batted passes and hit-as-throwns not counted as attempts and drops counted as completions) of 67.3 percent, the seventh lowest in the league and worse than Colt McCoy. Under pressure, he completed a smaller percentage of passes (44.3 percent) than Kevin Kolb.
Those aren't ringing endorsements for a guy who thinks he's the best quarterback in the league, but just like with Manning in 2010, they don't tell the whole story.
They don't take into account that 2011 was very much a season of two halves for Flacco. Much like Manning in 2010, Flacco started off the season slowly, with seven of his first nine games grading negatively. And again, much like the Giants QB, Flacco responded with a tremendous second half of the year, with seven of his eight games earning positive grades.
For Manning, the finale to the 2010 season was the moment he turned the proverbial corner. He went on to lead the Giants to a Super Bowl victory in 2011, completing 54 percent of passes under pressure (fourth highest in the league) and pick up more yards on deep balls (thrown farther than 20 yards in the air) than any other quarterback. He was able to do this by overcoming an offensive line that gave up more sacks, hits and hurries combined (221) than any other in the NFL, and still challenged defenses in all parts of the field.
Now is the time for Flacco to turn his own corner, and "Monday Night Football" will provide the perfect examination of his development. Manning didn't suddenly start making plays he'd never made before, he just made them more consistently. You only needed to watch Flacco in the playoffs last season -- and particularly how he handled pressure -- to see that Flacco has the same issue. Flacco faced pressure on 40 percent of postseason plays compared to just 30.4 percent in the regular season, but completed 60 percent of passes under pressure (up, as mentioned earlier, from 44.3 percent in the regular season). There's no denying he has the talent to do it, he just now needs to do it consistently.
What it means for Cincinnati
Last season, both teams made the playoffs but Baltimore swept Cincinnati. The Ravens did so with a swarming defense that made Andy Dalton face more pressure than he was accustomed to (27.6 percent in the two games combined, compared to a season average of 24.5 percent) and by limiting feature back Cedric Benson (now with the Green Bay Packers) to no rushes longer than 12 yards in both games. With no Suggs or Johnson, it's hard to see the Ravens generating as much pass rush or being quite as suffocating in the run game, so they'll need a little bit more from their offense.
That means this game presents an ideal opportunity for Flacco to back up his words and use 2012 to become the player many think he is destined to be. Attack a fragile secondary, run an offense that keeps the Bengals struggling to stay with the pace and deliver passes that allow his receivers to make plays. If he can do those things, the Ravens should come out on top on Monday night.

Baylor Bears
Preview 2007
Michael Bradley &
Pete Fiutak
Offense Preview | 2007
BU Defense Preview
2007 BU Depth Chart
2006 CFN Baylor
Three conference
wins don't seem like much. Three. At Baylor, that's the most the
program has ever pulled off in the Big 12. Three years ago, Guy
Morriss' team managed a single league triumph. In '05, it won two.
Last year, three. You know what's coming, don't you?
That's right, four wins in '07. At least that's the hope.
2007 Schedule
Prediction: 3-9
Sept. 1
Sept. 15
Texas State
Sept. 22
at Buffalo
Sept. 29
Texas A&M
Kansas State
Texas Tech
Oklahoma State
2006 Schedule:
Preview 2006 predicted wins
Okay, so that still doesn't seem like a lot, but with a non-conference
schedule that includes Texas State and Buffalo, a continued improvement
in league play would mean a bowl game for the first time in 13 years,
while finalizing one of the better building jobs done in college
It's possible that the Baylor administration understands that building a
team capable of contending in the tough Big 12 South, from the ruins of
a hapless also-ran, might take more than five years. Just look at
Rutgers. But there no doubt will be some pressure on Morriss to get to
the postseason, or at least to enter November in a position to make a
run, to avoid any sort of a hot seat in 2008.
But it's not that easy, not with a young team that could have as many as
seven freshmen and sophomores starting on offense and five more on
defense. And not with an unsettled quarterback situation that could take
until just before the opener at TCU to be resolved. Baylor is making
progress, but in a division with Oklahoma and Texas, not to mention
Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech – bowl teams all – it's hard to
move at anything other than a snail's pace. Thus the sense of
accomplishment over the 1-2-3 league wins.
Baylor is even going to sniff three Big 12 wins again this year, it has
to improve a defense that gave up yards and points by the bunches.
Perhaps the ascension of Larry Hoefer, who replaces Bill Bradley (San
Diego Chargers) as defensive coordinator, will help. Maybe the importing
of junior college end Leon Freeman and JC safety Ray Sims will make a
difference. Whatever the case, the Bears can't keep surrendering 30-plus
points a week (and more than 50 three times), as they did in their final
seven conference games, and expect to compete.
There's no question Baylor is making progress. The question is whether
that advancement is sufficient to exceed what others in the conference
are doing. Should the Bears follow their recent progression, the answer
will be a resounding yes.
What to look for on offense: Despite the loss of seven starters,
and big needs at receiver and running back, the main focus during the
spring and summer will be at quarterback, where sophomore Blake
Szymanski, who started three games last year and completed 52.9% of his
121 passes, will now be third in the mix with JC transfers Michael
Machen and John Weed likely to take over. Whoever wins will pilot a
spread attack with potential – provided the triggerman is right. The
coaching staff will try to do something to generate a bit more of a
running game after finishing dead last in America last year.
What to look for on defense: The Baylor 4-2-5 was particularly
ineffective against the run last year, surrendering 191.1 yards per game
and 5.0 each carry. Perhaps Sims and Freeman will help, but it's asking
a lot to expect that they'll be enough to reverse things completely. If
the Bears can stop people, they'll get better. If not, look for some
more ugly scores.
This team will be much better if… it runs the football. You think
the Bears' rushing defense was bad? Well, check out the ground activity
on the other side of the ball…or the lack thereof. Baylor averaged a
paltry 40.2 yards per game and just 2.1 yards per carry last year. Part
of the problem statistically was a boatload of sacks, but the running
backs simply didn't produce.
The Schedule:
The non-conference
slate isn't bad outside of an opening-day game at TCU, with winnable
dates against Rice and Texas State along with a strange trip to Buffalo.
Getting Colorado, Kansas and Kansas State from the North is a decent
break, while Texas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State have to come to Waco.
The Big 12 slate alternates between home and road games.
Best Offensive Player:
Junior OT
Jason Smith. The 6-5, 288-pound junior is one of only four returning
starters to the Bear offense, with three of them up front. The former
tight end is the best of the lot, a durable pass protector with 20
career starts and good upside. Even with all his experience, he's still
growing into the job.
Best Defensive Player:
Sophomore LB
Joe Pawelek. A breakout player, Pawelek had a fantastic redshirt
freshman season, leading the team with 86 tackles to go along with two
sacks and four broken up passes. He's smart, big, mobile and tough,
checking in at a surprisingly quick 231 pounds. He'll be in the hunt for
All-Big 12 honors from the start of the year.
Key player to a
successful season:
Senior QB Michael
Machen. Szymanski started the final three games of last season for an
injured Shawn Bell with limited results, finishing his season with four
touchdown passes and seven interceptions. Now it'll likely be up to
Machen, a transfer from Kent State, to shine, or the Bear high-octane
passing attack will go nowhere and any dreams of a bowl season will be
shot in the first month.
The season will be a
success if
... BU wins six games. It might be a bit of a reach considering the
strength of the Big 12 South, but with three near-certain non-conference
wins, Baylor will have a nice base to build on. The passing game, if
it's sharper than last season, should be enough to shock at least one or
two Big 12 teams looking ahead to something bigger.
Key game:
Oct. 6 vs. Colorado. If
everything goes according to form, the Bears should be 3-2 in September.
If they have any hope of going to a bowl game, they need the fourth win
as early as possible, with the meat of the Big 12 schedule coming up.
However, Colorado has lost two straight to BU and won't take this
2006 Fun Stats:
- Second quarter scoring: Opponents 126; Baylor 47
- Sacks: Opponents 36 for 320 yards; Baylor 11 for 83 yards

"Sadly has gone downhill. The menu still looks very attractive but what is going on in the kitchen - frozen calamari, ravioli swimming in a pool of oil and butter, dull calves liver, thick unstrained pea soup. Has lost the plot."
"Absolutely wonderful meal. The menu was exciting and the food was delivered with creativity and style. We could not fault the service. A thoroughly wonderful lunch in a very nice atmosphere."
"Dine here for a very tasty Indian lunch in stylish surroundings. Nice quiet tables, attentive staff, varied menu, and the Indian art on the walls contributes to that eastern ambiance; all in all a rather unexpected part of kings rd. This is not Notting Hill Indian with beer; a bit pricier with polite service!"
"The battered fish and chips is hard to beat. Well cooked, firm flaky fish and plenty of home made chips."
"A comfortable restaurant, extremely helpful staff and outstanding food."
"The Horse and Groom continues to provide consistently high standards. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the food is a high standard, with outstanding vegetables and the rooms are very comfortable."
"It has been said that one will only be disappointed if one returns to a place that has wonderful memories. It was 10 ten years since our last visit to Mr Underhill's but the place still continues to stand out from others. If one was to criticise it would be to say that four 'tasters' before a three-course set meal is a tad OTT. Nevertheless the evening was a great success, not least because this restaurant with no choice was able to cater to our eccentric dietary requirements and I am sure that the other diners did not feel deprived in eating a dinner that suited us. The room is beautifully appointed and gives a sense of relaxation. I shall not lave it another 10 years before returning, despite the distance from home."
"Wow! Despite taking advantage of a special offer, we were definitely not made to feel 'inferior' to the usual clientele. The food is absolutely exquisite and imaginatively presented. I shall return."
"I literally stumbled upon this eatery having been separated from my companions on the coastal walk. Despite no booking, exhausted and not exactly the best-dressed diner that night, the staff went the extra mile to make me feel welcome and comfortable. I enjoyed an excellent meal, during which my companions arrived, having surmised that I would probably seek out the best eatery in town."
"My grading might deter some diners. However, if you just want a quick, cheap meal before heading off the local theatre or cinema, it can't be beaten."
South American restaurateur and designer Juan Santa Cruz will launch his first London venue Casa Cruz in Notting Hill on Tuesday 7 July. The 80-cover restaurant, previously The Clarendon a Victorian pub on Clarendon Road, is set over two floors.
The site has been extensively restored over two years (designed by Cruz himself), with the Santa Cruz Co.'s trademark design stamp, a large copper door and an oval copper bar in the centre of the room.
As well as a bar serving an extensive Latin-influenced cocktail list there is also a heated roof terrace. The menu will be predominantly European, with Argentine influences. Dishes include: wild sea bass crudo and artichokes with lemon and olive oil, available alongside main dishes including Charcoal grilled monkfish; and Cajun chicken breast.
Argentine steaks will of course be a highlight, but there will be British fish and game, and French poultry on the menu too. Desserts include: Dulche de leche flan; and lemon polenta cake, alongside house made ice creams and sorbets.
On the cocktail list: Pisco Sours, Martinis, Negronis, Mojitos and Cairpiroskas, while the wine list will comprise old and new world bottles, with a dedicated section of organic and biodynamic wines.
Santa Cruz Co. owns three restaurants in Argentina, Casa Cruz, Isabel and Aldo's, all in the heart of Buenos Aires.

BOULDER, CO - NOVEMBER 13: Quarterback Cody Hawkins of the Colorado Buffaloes scrambles and is tackled by Jake Knott and Leonard Johnson of the Iowa State Cyclones at Folsom Field on November 13, 2010 in Boulder, Colorado. Colorado defeated Iowa State 34-14. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
(Eds: Updates.) By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer Iowa State knows it can rely on Jake Knott and A.J. Klein, one of the best linebacking tandems in the nation. It's the other nine defensive starters who will determine just how far the Cyclones go in 2012. Iowa State has plenty of depth on a defense that got better as last season wore on. But where all those pieces fit around Knott and Klein - first-team All-Big 12 picks who combined for 231 tackles in 2011 - needs to be sorted out with the Cyclones set to open the season Saturday against Tulsa. ''Improved, in a single word,'' Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said when asked to assess his defense. ''You just don't know where you're at until you start lining up against other folks.'' That might not be apparent for weeks. Iowa State (6-7 in 2011) is replacing six starters from a defense that allowed 29.4 points a game last season. Though there are some familiar names in line for starting jobs, the Cyclones will be asking many of them ...

So here I am on a dating site. Not exactly where I thought I'd end up but I suppose if I'm gonna try anything once then online dating counts too. I'm the kind of girl that cherishes her independence yet loves to be around friends and family. Enjoys a fun night out all fancied up but can most often be found in flip flops hanging out with friends. I'm an adventurist, a dog lover, the Aunt that spoils everyone, and always up for a good time. I've managed to travel around the world and back a few times and can't wait to do it again. In the summer I can be found outside. Camping, boating, tubing, and swimming are some of my all time favorite activities. In the winter you can't pay me to be out in the snow, cold is not my thing. I'll stay inside by the fire while you go enjoy sledding if that makes you happy. To each their own! I have a huge family and the best friends a girl could ask for. I am not looking for someone to pretend they do care about all the exact same things that I do, just someone who has a drive for hard work, a passion for fun and traveling, and who appreciates family and friends. Someone who likes to experience new places and is open to meeting new people and having fun. We can work on figuring out if we're searching for the same things in life as we get to know each other.

Deal reached on curbing airlines' CO2 emissions
The UN aviation body has reached a deal on curbing the airline industry's rising carbon emissions, sources close to the negotiations said Friday.
The UN aviation body has reached a deal on curbing the airline industry's rising carbon emissions, sources close to the negotiations said Friday.
US President Barack Obama on Tuesday laid out a broad new plan to fight climate change, using executive powers to get around "flat earth" science deniers who have blocked action in Congress.
Australia's carbon pollution would increase by at least nine percent by 2020 under the policies of the conservative opposition, breaching global commitments, new pre-election modelling showed on Thursday.
China said Monday it has banned its airlines from complying with an EU scheme to impose charges on carbon emissions opposed by more than two dozen countries including India, Russia and the United States.
The best way to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change is through the use of market forces, according to a new study.
An EU decision to force foreign airlines to buy carbon permits "is compatible with international law," the advocate general of the European Union Court of Justice said Thursday.
Europe's market in carbon emissions is hoping for outside help after a year in which prices slumped to record lows, savaging claims that trading in CO2 brakes the rise of dangerous greenhouse gases.
Australia Sunday announced plans to tax carbon pollution at Aus$23 (US$24.74) per tonne to help battle climate change, as it moves towards an emissions trading scheme similar to that of Europe.
Australia passed its controversial pollution tax Tuesday in a sweeping and historic reform aimed at lowering carbon emissions blamed for climate change, after years of fierce debate.
Australia is set to approve measures giving polluters financial incentives to reduce emissions blamed for climate change, in a move critics described as ineffective environmental policy.
The European Union refused Thursday to drop plans to charge all airlines for carbon emissions when flying to and from Europe despite opposition from the UN's civil aviation body.
Australia's axing of its carbon tax and a plan to replace it by offering incentives to polluters to increase their energy efficiency is "the perfect storm of stupidity", scientists and academics argue.
The Asian Development Bank on Wednesday called on China and Japan to band together in fighting the disastrous effects of climate change, despite their diplomatic hostilities.
The EU's top climate-change official said Wednesday that Brussels was within its rights to tax airlines for emissions in its airspace, reviving a controversial proposal that drew a storm of criticism.
EU governments closed ranks Friday in a bid to resuscitate their moribund carbon emissions market meant to combat global warming, just three days ahead of crunch UN climate talks in Warsaw.

What I'm about to share is a personal point of view. I'm not a big believer in health information exchanges (HIE).
I'm certainly a fan of what HIEs promise to do; improve care safety and quality by making sure that personal health information is available anytime, anywhere it is needed. It wouldn't matter if a patient shows up in Seattle or Spokane, their health information (medical record) would be available to the doctors, nurses or others who might care for them. In a perfect system, the same would be true if the patient showed up in Peoria or New York City or even Timbuktu. And yes, I know that thanks to foundation grants and government funding, a few local or regional health information exchanges are up and running today. But I also know that a sustainable business model for these exchanges is far from clear. In addition, the patient in these solutions is pretty much out of the loop. Furthermore, I know that most competing hospitals, clinics, physician offices, and other entities in our healthcare system aren't especially thrilled over the idea of freely exchanging data with one another. And as far as I can tell, no nation large or small around the world has yet really pulled off a comprehensive, national (let alone worldwide) health information exchange no matter how much money has been spent trying to do so.
For all of those reasons and more, I have been advocating what I believe is a much more logical, affordable, and technologically feasible model – aggregating personal health data around the patient, and allowing the patient to share his or her data with whomever needs to see it, be that a clinician, family member, loved one or other person. This would accomplish pretty much the same thing as an HIE without all the fuss over who owns the data (the patient just gets a copy of their own data) or how much data must be shared between competing organizations or entities.
But how much would it cost to store all that data, and who would pay? Well, if you believe the calculations put forward today in a blog post by luminary physician and CIO, Dr. John Halamka, we could store all that information in the cloud for less than 50 cents per person per year. I won't repeat the complex calculations Dr. Halamka used to reach that conclusion (for that go here), but the math looks pretty sound to me. So why not develop a cloud-based repository for personal health information and put the patient at the center and in control over his or her account? The patient could decide the data bank he or she trusted most. That might be their insurer, a commercial service, or even a state or government organization. So long as any organization responsible for storing patient data would agree to transfer that data to another such organization upon the patient's request, there could be and probably should be several organizations in the business of storing data on behalf of patients. When visiting a hospital or clinic, the patient would simply provide access to their data bank and at the conclusion of the visit, request that a copy of the data from their most recent encounter go back into their bank. There could be contingencies of course for patients who show up unconscious or unable to grant access to their personal data bank - a kind of "break the glass" in case of fire scenario. And even if the patient had no interest what-so-ever in looking at their data, adding to it, or maintaining a "personal health record", their healthcare provider could still set up such an account for the patient an deposit information into it.
Would this not get us closer to the always available, truly transportable electronic health record for most citizens that was promised so many years ago by President George W. Bush? Is there not a business model that could be sustained by patients themselves, employers, insurers, or a government agency at 50 cents per person per year to maintain such a system once it is built? If something like Microsoft HealthVault, and perhaps a few other solutions, became available to store and exchange our personal health information on our behalf, and most people selected one of these repositories, would it not largely obviate the need for health information exchanges?
Everyone wonders why everything that touches healthcare becomes so darned expensive. I think we over-regulate, over-legislate, and over-architect solutions in health. We make solutions way more complex than they really need to be. I'd rather see scarce healthcare dollars go to actually providing care for people, than for building multi-million dollar health information exchanges that leave patients out of the loop, and likely aren't sustainable anyway.
Bill Crounse, MD Senior Director, Worldwide Health Microsoft
That's my 50 cents a year, I'll keep it in my pocket thank you very much(a yummy candy bar from the vending machine costs $.50). Let my employer pay for it.. Better yet, keep it offline and in paper form where it's safe from the eyes of chinese hackers.
Thanks for your comment, Allen. If you want your information off-line, then off-line it should be (is your banking off-line too?). I firmly believe this should be an opt-in solution. HIEs, however, are not opt-in.
It's pretty obvious that from Mr. Feinberg's perspective, our industry needs to work on trust and transparency of data, before asking for 50 pennies.
In other words, the loss of one's personal health information is priceless and can never be paid back.
Faisal, I couldn't agree more. Trust and transparency are are vital attributes when dealing with PHI..
Faisal Q is correct. While the banking industry has become more secure the health industry has become less secure and I keep an article on my desk to reminde me about it every day.
In a eWeek article titled "Data Breaches Hit 113 Health Care Organizations, Report Says" [Aug. 2010]
"A total of 113 health care facilities have been hit with data breaches in 2010, compared with only 39 banking/finance firms, according to a July 28 report by the Identity Theft Resource Center."
Bill, having worked in setting up HIE technology for a healthcare vendor to support a variety of different policies, I can report to you that many HIEs are opt-in only. It simply depends upon how policies are configured.
With regard to whether an HIE or PHR is the solution, it depends upon who you trust. I recall a survey reported several years ago that patients trusted most their healthcare providers and their payers least to store their personal health data in a way that they could access and which would provide the best security and privacy. Employers and third parties like Health Vault or Google (still emerging at that time) were in the middle. I'm happy to let the market decide, and it may decide that both solutions are needed.
My personal concerns about Cloud-based PHRs include confusing privacy policies and service agreements and the lack of open and transparent use of standards used to access the information. I don't want a vendor specific API to access my data, I want standards based access using any possible technology that I chose.
For my own use, I'm not certain I'm comfortable with the data existing anywhere OTHER than my Home computer at the moment, as I physically control it and the network it is attached to. I am perfectly comfortable securing it from others without the appropriate credentials.
Chris and Keith,
Thanks for sharing your thoughtful perspectives. Healthy debate is always a good thing.
I think that the patient is involved in HIE developments
I would like to see Microsoft as a PHR vendors come into the open and transparent discussions as someone who wants to be constructive. By participating as a equal partner on the HIE I think your whole vision can be achieved.
The HIE model I have always envisioned and worked hard to make concrete in the IHE XDS and XCA profiles is one where the PHR is an equal partner on the HIE.
I challenge Microsoft as a PHR vendors to come into the open. Participate openly in a transparent way. Help us understand why there is concern with the current models. Help us shape the solution. This is a journey, not a destination. Stepping stones are what we need to make concrete while having a good vision of the horizon.
I expand on this comment on my blog healthcaresecprivacy.blogspot.com
Wounderful blog. I read your blog this is the very informative blog.
I just tell Thanks to you for sharing your thoughtful perspectives. I know that most competing hospitals, clinics, physician offices, and other entities in our healthcare system aren't especially thrilled over the idea of freely exchanging data with one another.

Geoff Calkins: Frauds to conquering heroes in six minutes
They were dead.
Like, really dead. Down by 11 to Xavier at home. Doing absolutely nothing.
The Tweets and e-mails were pouring in. A bunch of you had fired Josh Pastner already.
Old friend Dan Wolken weighed in via Twitter: "What a fraud of a team."
And then, well, it's hard to explain exactly what happened.
But it was loud. And it was astonishing. And it was a six-minute stretch of fierce, relentless basketball that may have saved a season.
"It avalanched on us," said Xavier coach Chris Mack.
By "it," he meant the whole entire day. He meant Joe Jackson, who was superb. He meant Wesley Witherspoon, who is now playing tough every time out. He meant Antonio Barton, who kept getting to the hole, and the Tiger defenders, who seemed to be everywhere at once, and the Memphis crowd, all 17,097, which was as insanely cranked as it has ever been.
They all avalanched on Xavier. They all saved the day and the year.
"Fraud comment retracted," tweeted Wolken.
Let he who didn't live through exactly the same kind of bipolar experience cast the first stone.
This was all of last season, wrapped up in a single half. This was a team that could do nothing right turning into a team that could do nothing wrong.
"We never quit working," said Jackson.
That may be the moral of the tale.
But before the moral came the crisis, and it's impossible to overstate how grim things appeared. With 6:16 left, Memphis trailed by 11. Some wise guy (OK, it was me), sagely noted that a loss would leave the Tigers with a 1-7 record against teams with a top 50 RPI.
And then, well, who knows how these things get started? There were all sorts of explanations offered up in the locker room afterward. But it was fitting that the two players at the heart of the comeback -- Witherspoon and Jackson -- know more than most about the subject of getting up after getting knocked down.
They've been knocked down and written off. They've been labeled as frauds and busts. They haven't always handled it particularly well, either. They've had to do some growing up.
But there was Witherspoon hitting an immense 3-pointer to start the rally, then playing the rest of the way with the kind of fury that is becoming shockingly characteristic of the guy.
"How about Wesley Witherspoon?" said Pastner. "He had some man rebounds."
Question: Are there such things as man foul shots? If so, Jackson had a whole bunch of those.
He was 12 for 12 from the line. And here's a lesson for you, kids.
Jackson missed three foul shots against Southern Miss on Wednesday night.
So where was he at 6 a.m.?
"In the gym," he said. "I made 1,000 foul shots."
How do you get ticked at a guy like that? Yes, he can be moody. No, his body language is not always great. But he keeps working. He cares.
Doesn't that make up for most of the rest?
Saturday, he was the best point guard on the court. Which is saying something, considering he was matched against Xavier's Tu Holloway.
Jackson was deft, creative and commanding. He had eight assists and three steals. After it was over, Holloway found Pastner and shook his hand.
"That's the best defense we've faced all year," he said.
That defense started with Jackson. Or, going back even earlier, it started with assistant coach Jack Murphy's scouting report.
Murphy's wife gave birth Wednesday night. The proud papa kept working Thursday and Friday while rocking his new son.
"Everyone contributed," said Pastner.
Miracles are rarely a one-man show. Although, it's probably wrong to call this a miracle. It required less conjuring than laboring, less magic than sweat.
The Tigers won Saturday because they kept at it. Because they were among the few at FedExForum who didn't lose faith that they could.
So it was good to see them rewarded with a victory. Good to see Jackson leave the court to an ovation and with a smile.
"We should play like that every day," he said.
The ending, I think he meant.

Indiana schools improve overall, Superintendent Tony Bennett generally pleased | DATA
Bennett generally pleased with progress
EVANSVILLE - Tony Bennett offered a measured response today upon the release of new academic progress data for Indiana schools.
'exemplary progress'
Public schools on he Indiana Department of Education's "exemplary progress" category each year since 2005 include:
n Signature School (charter high school, Evansville)
n Yankeetown Elementary School, John H. Castle Elementary School and Newburgh Elementary School (Warrick County School Corp.)

"Some schools still have a long way to go, but I am pleased to see a number of schools improved their status this year," the state superintendent for public instruction said.
The Department of Education unveiled reports outlining how schools performed against federal and state benchmarks.
It was the first time both sets of data were released together.
The state's school accountability measure — known as Public Law 221 — groups schools and districts into five categories, the highest of which is "exemplary progress." Other categories are "commendable progress," "academic progress," "academic watch" and "academic probation."
Forty-two percent of Indiana schools moved into higher categories this year, 39 percent remained in the same category and 19 percent dropped to a lower category.
ISTEP scores are they key measure in determining where schools are placed. The more progress a school makes in a given year, the higher its category placement.
The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. had its numbers of schools in the "exemplary progress" category increase from one in 2009 to 10 this year.
Twelve EVSC schools are in the "academic probation" category, up from 10 last year, and as a district, EVSC fell from "academic watch" to probation.
Local nonpublic schools performed well on the state school accountability report.
Evansville Christian School, Evansville Day School, Mater Dei and Memorial high schools and numerous K-8 Catholic schools were ranked in the "exemplary progress" category.
The Warrick County School Corp. has 12 of its 16 schools in "exemplary progress" and none in the probation category.
Among Evansville's charter schools, Signature School is in "exemplary progress," and Joshua Academy is on "academic watch."
Statewide, elementary schools fared best overall, with 89 percent rated in the top three of the five categories.
In contrast, 75 percent of high schools placed either "academic watch" or "academic probation."
Public schools that remain on probation for several years ultimately could be subject to state intervention, which may involve personnel changes, merging with another school, or assigning a management team to operate the school.
No area schools have been on probation for more than three continuous years.
Federal data
The federal government's academic report progress report for Indiana also was released today.
It gives schools and districts a pass or fail grade on a standard known as Adequate Yearly Progress."
To meet AYP, schools must reach mathematical improvement targets in overall populations as well as in demographic groups defined by students' race, ethnicity, family income levels and more.
No Child Left Behind only tracks the progress of public schools.
Statewide, 58 percent of schools made Adequate Yearly Progress, up from 50 percent.
The EVSC, as a district, made Adequate Yearly Progress for the first time since No Child Left Behind became law in 2001. Thirteen of the district's individual schools met the standard.
There are consequences for public schools that receive federal Title I funding — which is awarded based on percentages of children from low-income families — and continuously fail to make AYP.
Title I schools that do not reach AYP for two consecutive years must implement a series of interventions that become more extensive each subsequent year the school does not make the standard.
Bennett said that while several Indiana schools continue to struggle, the reports also reflect positive signs. "These results show educators and parents, especially for elementary and middle schools, are setting high expectations for all students, and students are achieving to those expectations."

Microsoft pushes ahead with mobile e-mail effort

Microsoft aims to be cell phone 'Survivor'May 6, 2005
Although Microsoft is offering push e-mail abilities later than some mobile specialists, such as Research In Motion and Good Technology, the company says the numbers are still on its side. Although there are a billion mobile phones and 400 million Outlook e-mail users worldwide, only about 10 million people are getting their corporate e-mail delivered to their phones.
"We look at the universe out there and we know there is just a huge, huge opportunity yet to be met," Microsoft Vice President Suzan DelBene said in a telephone interview on Friday.Push e-mail gets forwarded to a device as it comes in on the server, as opposed to pull e-mail, in which a user has to manually retrieve e-mail or get it at a certain time.
Microsoft has been promising push e-mail for some time, but it has taken awhile to get all the pieces in place. The technology was made possible by combining devices running Windows Mobile 5 with servers using Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2. The final piece, a messaging and security service pack, was shipped last year, but had yet to show up on devices in the market.
The software maker said that a number of carriers, including Cingular Wireless, Orange, Sprint, T-Mobile and Vodafone, are offering free upgrades for customers that will let them get the "Direct Push" e-mail abilities as well as new security features.
In addition, Microsoft said several new devices will contain the necessary software for push e-mail, including Hewlett-Packard's iPaq hw6900 Mobile Messenger, the Fujitsu Siemens FS Pocket Loox and the Gigabyte g-Smart, which will be offered by Chungwa Telecom in Taiwan. HTC also said it will have a number of new devices available globally to T-Mobile and other operators beginning in the second quarter of this year.
HP had inadvertently leaked details about the hw6900 series iPaqs, which combine a mobile phone with a personal digital assistant, on at least two separate occasions. The new iPaqs can access the Internet over an EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) cellular network or through its built-in Wi-Fi chip, and contain a chip and software for navigating via the Global Positioning System. They will be available in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa starting this spring and will make their way to North America over the summer.
Microsoft is making the push e-mail announcement at the start of the 3GSM World Congress, a cell phone trade show that is taking place in Barcelona. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is slated to deliver a keynote speech there on Tuesday.
Window Mobile on TI chipset
Separately, Microsoft is announcing a deal at the show that will allow its Windows Mobile operating system to run on phones using a single-core Texas Instruments chipset.
"Most of our phones today run on dual-core chipsets that tend to be more expensive," said DelBene, who is VP of marketing for Microsoft's mobile and embedded device unit. Windows Mobile-based smart phones have typically used ARM-based chips from a variety of chipmakers.
Mobile phone makers Amoi Electronics, HTC and Sagem Communication all said they planned to develop Windows-based devices using TI's chips. Phones using Microsoft's OS and TI's chips are expected to ship within 12 months, Microsoft said.
Although Microsoft is seeing most of its business from companies that are just starting to explore the idea of corporate data on the phone, DelBene said there has been some interest from companies concerned about a possible BlackBerry shutdown.
"People have been aware of the issues out there and are asking questions," she said. On Thursday, BlackBerry maker Research In Motion offered more details on its planned software workaround should its current service be ordered shut by the courts over a patent dispute with NTP.

- Potential good for MS
- This could be very good for MS especially if the RIM n(Blackberry) workaround turns out to be less than optimal

- but there are a lot of people who want this functionality. My boss recently requested a phone with email functionality despite already having a laptop. I personally don't see the need for it but some people apparently require email wherever they go. I'm still waiting for a phone that will take the noise of people who yell into their phone and convert it into a soft soothing sound.
