Floating - or drowning in problems
A summer of new issues seemed to be ahead as everyone from Burberry to Homebase queued to join the stock market.

New horizons near Auld Reekie
Before moving to Edinburgh last summer, John Wilson-Beales, his wife Fiona and daughters Emily and Isabel spent three years living in Maidenhead. 'We rented there for three years, after coming back from working abroad, and for all that time we were looking to buy somewhere, but given the type of house we wanted, never managed to find anything. On top of that, I was working in London, and so the commuting was heavy and very expensive - I think I was paying around £3,000 a year, without including costs like parking at the station.'

Howard Washington Odum papers, 1908-1982.

Collection number: 3167
View finding aid.
Abstract: Howard Washington Odum was a sociologist of the American South; author; professor at the University of North Carolina from 1920 to 1954; and founder of the Sociology Department, the School of Public Welfare, the Department of City and Carolina. The collection documents Howard Odum's active and varied career in sociology, race relations, regional planning, Jersey cattle breeding, and several regional national boards and commissions concerned with social and economic welfare, especially during the Roosevelt administration. There is very little material concerning Odum's formal education or his early career days in Philadelphia and Atlanta. The original deposits (circa 10,000 items) are arranged in six series: 1) Correspondence, chiefly 1925-1955, concerning the origin of the School of Public Welfare at the University of North Carolina; the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, Atlanta, Ga.; and arrangements for Frances Sage Bradley of the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor to teach and do field work with Odum's students. 2) Odum's speeches and writings, 1919-1954. Speeches address topics such as regionalism, education, race relations, and Southern development. Writings consist of Odum's book drafts, research notes, articles, and other material. 3) Flyers, minutes, budget reports, agendas, and related materials concerning the various organizational activities of Odum, circa 1920-1954. 4) Photocopies of newspaper clippings, flyers, articles, and announcements related to Odum's numerous activities, circa 1920-1982. 5) Various items including contracts with publishing houses, class syllabi, photocopies of newspaper clippings, awards, and membership certificates concerning Odum, his family, and employees, circa 1922-1954. 6) Photographs intended for publication in an unfinished novel by Odum, and of Odum in various settings. Additions 1990 to June 2006 have added over 45,000 items similar to those in the original deposits, but expanding the date span of the collection. The Addition of June 2006 contains a variety of material relating to Howard Washington Odum's personal and professional life, including writings by and about Odum, research for an unpublished work, letters relating to the distribution of his bookSouthern Regions of the United States (1937), and letters from his parents. Also included are materials relating to Odum as a Jersey cattle breeder; newspaper clippings about surveilance done by the FBI on Odum and others; and letters from his daughter, Mary Frances Odum Schinhan, to various people about the use and publication of Odum's works. The Addition of May 2009 includes duplicates of letters from Howard Washington Odum to others coordinating the distribution of copies of his book Southern Regions of the United States and letters to Odum acknowledging receipt of the book. Also included are a copy of Liberation, the fascist newsletter published by William Dudley Pelley. There are also letters from social researchers at universities and colleges throughout the United States responding to a request by Odum for their perspective on the term "poor white," seemingly research for a publication or project.
Repository: Southern Historical Collection
Collection Highlights: Contains correspondence pertaining to the Commission for Interracial Cooperation and other organizations ( See particularly Folders 1a – 11; 121 – 156; 157-182).

THR's Emmy Roundtable: Drama Actresses
THR listens in as the season's top contenders tackle nudity, bad auditions, breastfeeding on set and the fear of kissing Brad Pitt.
THR: What's the biggest dispute you've had on your show?
Margulies: As much as I'd like to pretend it's an ensemble, it's not. It's The Good Wife, and if the good wife goes down, there's no show! (Laughter.) My problem is, I'm not a squeaky wheel. I'm a worker; I can wait tables. So I have this idea that I'm one of the crew. But I have to be there two hours before the crew gets there and then work two hours when everyone goes home.
Sedgwick: And be in front of the camera and look good.
Margulies: Yes. So my biggest challenge has been to say, "Guys, guess what? I can't be in the background of so-and-so's scene." That would give me two hours with my kid. Or, how about an hour to sleep, go to the gym. Or learn a line or two. I have to prepare and have a life. Sitting in a court scene for 14 hours without a line … is craziness. So they're going to work on that.
THR: Have your Good Wife showrunners, Robert and Michelle King, been receptive?
Margulies: They're incredibly receptive. At one point this year, I was in all these court scenes and I hadn't gotten the next script. I looked at the schedule and I was in every single scene. It was 11 o'clock at night and I just e-mailed everyone and I said, "How about we call an insurance day because … this is inhuman." And then Robert was like, "We're going to write you out of this scene and that."
Danes: It is hugely about communication. I think they just don't know.
Sedgwick: And if you keep doing it, then they start thinking, "Oh, you can do it, and it's easy."
Enos: That's right.
Danes: But you have to recognize what a valuable challenge is. You're indulging your neurosis about being a "good girl" or something.
Margulies: I think that's exactly it. And I hate to say it turns into a [gender] issue, but being a female …
Sedgwick: Do it! I'm right there with you, girl.
Margulies: Do you know what I mean though? Being female and asking for what you need.
Danes: We are very accommodating, typically.
Margulies: Because we don't want to be thought of as bitches or as incapable. "No I can do this! I can be a mother!" Then you show up and you start to …
Sedgwick: Unravel.
Danes: And they're not doing it to punish you, they're doing it out of ignorance. You need to make a case. "If you give me this extra time, I will perform that much better when you really need me."
Margulies: I think television writers have the hardest job in the business.
THR: Each season, writers give certain actors more or less screen time. Do you make suggestions to them on how to use you?
Jones: We don't ask Matt for anything. He's extremely good at what he does, and it would be foolish of me to suggest anything. This season, I was lucky to be in four episodes because I was happy that he wrote a storyline for my character where I didn't need to be there every day. I was struggling as a single mom with a new baby; I didn't know what I was doing. He likes to give everyone sort of an arc, and you might not be there. He also likes to mess with the audience a bit. There's only been one time where I've ever questioned anything he's ever done.
THR: When was that?
Jones: Betty, at the end of season two, goes to a bar and winds up sleeping with a random guy. I didn't disagree with it; I just wanted to understand the motivation. Is it revenge? And he explained to me that I needed to stop thinking. Betty is a sexual person -- she gets drunk and she gets laid. That's it. When it was explained that way, I was like, "OK." That's one of the beautiful things about Mad Men; we're not given any time to think.
THR: Kyra, The Closer is wrapping up this summer. What are you most looking forward to in this next phase of your career?
Sedgwick: I really want to do more films. I would like to do other characters for a shorter amount of time. But the TV experience was amazing, and it afforded me the experience of delving into a character and growing with her. There's no other venue that you can experience that as an actor. It's deep and cathartic. But I would like to do shorter runs and do a play if the right one came along.
Danes: There are so many different ways to get naked! (Laughter.)

text: I apologize if this has been discussed recently, but I didn't see any threads on it. My sister and I had a "heated" discusssion last night about what makes the canoes go. She said that there has to be a track of some kind and the canoes have to have some kind of help to get all the way around the river because the guests don't have the strength or experience needed. She also said the river isn't all that deep because it would be too dangerous. I say that there is no way that there is a track and the canoes are most definitely powered by all of us guests that are rowing (with pretty sore arms near the end!) Who's right?

A&E to Present PAUL SIMON'S GRACELAND JOURNEY Documentary, 5/25
A&E Network presents the world television premiere of Paul Simon'S GRACELAND JOURNEY: UNDER AFRICAN SKIES, a documentary commemorating the 25th anniversary of the legendary Graceland album, on Friday May 25 at 10 PM ET/PT.
Directed by two-time Emmy and Peabody Award winner and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Joe Berlinger, the film travels with Paul Simon back to South Africa 25 years after his first visit, reuniting him with the original Graceland musicians for a reunion concert, while also exploring the story of the turbulent birth of the album.
Despite its huge success, and despite it being the first popular example of fusing American and African musical styles, Graceland was initially met with tremendous political crossfire as Simon was accused of breaking the UN cultural boycott of South Africa when he traveled there in 1985 to record with local artists.
Simon revisits the simmering tensions and comes to some new revelations as his musical journey is explored. Featuring interviews with key anti-apartheid activists of the time, Oprah Winfrey and such musical legends as Quincy Jones, Harry Belafonte, Paul McCartney, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel, the film is both an anatomy of a profound artistic achievement and a meditation on the role of the artist in society.
"Paul Simon's Graceland Journey: Under African Skies" premiered at the Sundance 2012 Festival on January 22 and has garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards on the film festival circuit. The film is directed by Joe Berlinger ("Brother's Keeper," "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster"/"The West Memphis Three"/"Paradise Lost" trilogy) and produced by @Radical.media and A&E IndieFilms,

n band wont show up
Hi, I'm not very computer savy. Bought a new router, WNDR3400 aka N600 dual band. Have it set up in wpa. Cant figure out how to configure it for n band. Can only get the g band to show up. Does the dual band mean I can have 2 different networks at once? Have tried several different settings and cant get the n band to show up. Doe's the length of the passphrase affect the security type? I know on my older model it did, but this one doesn't indicate that. Will I even benifit from the n band? I have At&t dsl at the fastest speed they offer (6g I believe). Any help would be appreciated.
On a side note, bought this unit at Wally World for the Wal-Mart customer exclusive 90 day tech support, tried asking this twice, and keep getting cut off from Netgear. Do they just not want to give tech support? Or is this just coincidence?
Re: n band wont show up
n is not a band - it's a standard.
Dual band refers to the routers ability to transmit in both the 2.4 & 5GHz frequency bands, however, that's of little use unless your wireless clients can use both bands.

Re: n band wont show up
The 2.4 GHz is 300mbps - Which is N connection
The 5 GHz is 300mbps - Which is also N connection
Your adapter on your computer should be capable of 5 Ghz connection otherwise your can only see/connect to the N 2.4 GHz.
So consider buying a Dual band USB adapter.
Reminders, 5GHz connection has shorter range.
Re: n band wont show up
Now I'm even more confused.
The 2.4 GHz is 300mbps - Which is N connection
The 5 GHz is 300mbps - Which is also N connection
How do I know which speed I'm using/capable of on my laptop? It is brand new Windows 7. Only had it 2 weeks and I am trying to utilize the fastest connection. Only shows 54mbps on my network connection. When I change the router settings to wpa2 I lose connection. When on wpa it onlys allows 54mbps. But to go to 300mbps I need to be on wpa2 according to the router. I have the second band (5 GHz) set up in wpa2 and it doesn't show up. Could it be that my laptop doesn't support it? How can I find out? My understanding when I bought it was that it was capable of the "n" band which is what I thought was the speed. My understanding was that g was 54mbps and n was 300 mbps. The salesman at Best Buy assured me that any laptop in the price range I was looking at ($450 and up) would be capable of the n band, and would give me the full potential of the new router. That is partialy the reason I decided to go ahead with the purchase. If I can only run at 54mbps I will be quite upset as they only have a 14 day return policy.
Is there a website that I can go to that can teach me about wireless networking? Or maybe a wireless networks for dummies book?
Re: n band wont show up
You need to determine the wireless specifications of laptop - and the best place to get this information is the laptop manufacturer.

For the first time in 20 years, there will be a Winter Olympics with no Alaska men on the U.S. biathlon team.
Jay Hakkinen's quest to become a five-time Olympian ended this week with the naming of the U.S. Olympic biathlon team.
Hakkinen, the Kasilof man who competed in the last four Olympics, on many occasions as the leader of Team USA, was not a member of the 10-person team selected Sunday by U.S. Biathlon.
Neither was Anchorage's Jeremy Teela, who was seeking a fourth Olympic berth.
Alaska will nonetheless have a presence on the team -- Sara Studebaker, 29, is from Boise, Idaho, but trains in Anchorage. Studebaker was among 10 athletes named to the team.
Long the stalwarts of the national team, Hakkinen, 36, and Teela, 37, for years set the standard for U.S. biathlon, paving the way for athletes who will head to Sochi, Russia, with legitimate medal hopes.
Beginning with Hakkinen's world junior championship in 1997 and continuing through Teela's World Cup bronze medal in 2009 -- the first World Cup medal for a U.S. biathlete since 1992 -- the pair made the U.S. team relevant on the national stage.
In 2006, Hakkinen's 10th-place finish in the 20-kilometer race in Turin, Italy, marked the best Olympic finish in biathlon history for the United States.
In 2010, Teela did that one better by placing ninth in the 10-kilometer sprint at the Vancouver Olympics.
Next month in Sochi, athletes like Tim Burke and Lowell Bailey are expected to contend for the country's first Olympic medal in the sport. Once young guns who looked up to Hakkinen and Teela and tried to match their success, Burke and Bailey have taken the torch and run with it on inroads forged by the Alaskans.
Hakkinen and Teela began the season with a shot at continuing their Olympic run.
U.S. Biathlon fielded a small national team for the 2013-14, with Hakkinen and Teela the only men on the B team. Four men, including New Yorkers Burke and Bailey, were named to the A team.
When the Olympic team was announced Sunday, Burke, Bailey, Russell Currier of Maine, Sean Doherty of New Hampshire and Leif Nordgren of Minnesota were selected for the men. On the women's team are Studebaker, Lanny Barnes of Colorado, Annelies Cook of New York and Susan Dunklee and Hannah Dreissigacker of Vermont. Burke, Bailey and Barnes will be making their third Olympic appearances.
Studebaker splits her time between Anchorage, Boise and the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid. She has been an instructor for the NANA Nordic, a program that takes cross country skiing into Alaska villages.
Alaska has long had a presence in international biathlon. For years, the national team was dominated by military members who trained at Fort Richardson, many of whom went on to become big contributors to Alaska's skiing community, a group led by but not limited to Anchorage's Dick Mize. Last weekend, Kincaid Park was the scene of a biathlon race featuring 70 national guardsmen from 10 states.
So far four Alaskans, all women, have secured Olympic berths -- cross country skiers Kikkan Randall, Holly Brooks and Sadie Bjornsen and curler Jessica Schultz.
Studebaker's selection to the biathlon team and Ashley Wagner's controversial selection to the figure skating team gives Alaska a share of a two more Olympians. Wagner grew up in Eagle River, became a competitive skater here and skated for the Anchorage Figure Skating Club when she won the 2005 junior ladies title at the Pacific Coast sectionals before her military family left the state.
A couple of more nordic skiers could make the team, and Girdwood snowboarder Callan Chythlook-Sifsof this weekend will continue her bid to earn a second Olympic berth.

Analysis: Problems stacking up for Memphis Tigers
Defense sputters, offense has no go-to guy, leader or killer instinct
University of Memphis coach Josh Pastner and his players were out of answers.
After a stunning 64-58 defeat at SMU on Wednesday -- its second road loss to the perennial Conference USA punching bag Mustangs in as many seasons -- the Tigers could do nothing but shake their heads in a dead-silent Moody Coliseum locker room.
Once again, their defense had failed, particularly against the 3-pointer, as Memphis disregarded assignments and allowed SMU to shoot 55.6 percent in the second half and 9-of-16 from 3-point range while rallying from a double-digit deficit with less than 10 minutes to play.
But a poor defensive effort after halftime hadn't been the only thing that contributed to the loss, Memphis' third in its last six games.
The Tigers didn't score for more than nine minutes of the second half and appeared confused on offense late without a dependable scorer to go to. They also failed to build on a 14-point first-half lead and couldn't extend the 11-point advantage they had midway through the second half.
They were problems that unfortunately have become a theme for Memphis (12-4, 1-1 in C-USA), which resumes play at 11 a.m. Saturday against Marshall (12-4, 1-1) at FedExForum.
With one half of the season behind them, here are four key issues ailing a Tigers team that certainly must win the C-USA Tournament if it's to relight its dimming hopes of earning a coveted NCAA Tournament berth:
The Tigers' defense is poor, especially in the second half: Memphis ranks last in C-USA in scoring defense, allowing 71.2 points per game.
Although its played decent defense in stretches, such as early against SMU and in the first half against East Carolina, the Tigers have allowed opponents to shoot a whopping 51.6 percent (129-of-250) in the second half since an 81-68 loss to Kansas on Dec. 7.
Sure, Kansas, Georgetown and Tennessee all lit Memphis up from the floor after the break, but so did Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (14-of-28), Tennessee State (14-of-28) and SMU (10-of-18).
The problem comes down to blown assignments.
"I'm not gonna lie, when I watch film on us, sometimes people sleep on defense and things like that, but at the same time, we do play hard," forward Tarik Black said after practice Thursday. "It's just we're in the wrong spots while we're playing hard. So we have to become more knowledgeable."
They lack a go-to player during offensive lulls: When asked if the team lacked a go-to player offensively Thursday, Pastner stuck to his usual company line that "the go-to man is the open man."
However, it was obvious Wednesday during their nine-minute scoreless stretch against SMU and in previous games that the Tigers don't have a player they can rely on to convert a key bucket. Successful teams have a go-to option.
Though Memphis leads C-USA in scoring offense (78.4 ppg), it hasn't found that option among its six freshmen and upperclassmen Welsey Witherspoon, who was suspended Thursday by Pastner, and Will Coleman.
When the team went to Witherspoon against SMU, he was whistled for a pair of player-control fouls. When it went to Coleman in the post late, the senior forward threw up a wild hook shot that clanged off the rim.
Memphis doesn't have a leader: Though Witherspoon, a C-USA first-team selection, was supposed to assume the role, he has been more of a follower than a leader.
The fact is, Witherspoon wasn't comfortable in the role, which has led Pastner to hand over leadership duties to Coleman and Black.
"We have a lack of leaders as far as this season, and I really plan on stepping up and taking that role because coach Pastner is depending on me," Black said. "The leader has to be one of the hardest-working guys on the team. He has to keep an upbeat tempo.
"When people get down, things start going negative, he can't go along with the flow of the team. He has to be the one to pick everybody up."
There's no killer instinct: There have been few occasions this season when the Tigers were able to close out an opponent handily. Instead, they've allowed less-talented teams to hang around in the second half.
It cost them against SMU, and nearly did in overtime wins over Arkansas State and Austin Peay.
Part of the reason Memphis has struggled to finish off teams goes back to the fact that it doesn't have a go-to player, leading to the offensive lulls.
Also, the Tigers freshmen have been slow for the most part in their transition to the college game. When they've had teams on the ropes, they haven't yet learned how to put them away by buckling down defensively and sticking to the game plan on offense. Instead, they've panicked and reverted too much to 1-on-1 play.
"That young excuse is not an excuse anymore. There's no more freshmen on this team," Coleman said. "We gotta get that killer mentality. We came out 16-5 (on SMU) and we were doing our thing on defense. We were killing," Coleman said. "We just got to get that mentality to crush guys."

7 Emerging Trends in Pharma Communications
Editor's note: Paul Tunnah is CEO and Founder of Pharmaphorum
As we proceed into 2013, there is a cautious air of optimism that the pharma industry is showing signs of adaptation and innovation in its business models, with some interesting commentary already emerging from the JP Morgan event earlier this year.
One of the areas I am very passionate about is how the pharma industry communicates its work externally and the impact this can have on its reputation. This is not to say any misdemeanours can be brushed aside – these also need addressing – but 2012 saw a more open, communicative pharma industry emerging, and this is a trend that must continue in order to address some of the misunderstandings about it.
Here are my top seven trends in external pharma communications that I hope to see continue in 2013.
1. Put faces to your senior execs
The old adage that 'people buy from people' has always been true, whether you are selling in the monetary or relationship sense, especially in the age of social media where real engagement with faceless corporations is limited. Our industry leaders are, more often than not, smart individuals who talk with great passion about the work they do in helping patients who recognise the balance between commerciality and ethical operations.
Pharma has started to recognise this and move on from purely investor led financial presentations to letting their senior executives present their views on a whole host of issues, something which must develop further in 2013 to present the human face of pharma.
2. Empower your employee voices
Just imagine for a moment if your corporate PR team consisted of thousands of individuals, talking every day about what a great company yours is to work for. Looking within pharma, there are plenty of smart, engaging and passionate people operating at all levels within the industry, the vast majority of which only have good things to say about their work.
As more pharma companies provide communication and social media guidelines for employees that not only set boundaries, but actively encourage them to get involved, this can become a reality. Giving employees permission to talk about non-confidential good work being conducted is essential, particularly when it comes to corporate philanthropy and social responsibility.
3. Shout about your good work
Talking about corporate social responsibility (CSR), despite the current economic challenges there is still a lot of good philanthropic initiatives being conducted by the industry. Whether it is supporting the eradication of malaria in the developing world or investing to reduce the burden of drug development on animals the industry invests significantly in areas with no obvious, immediate commercial return.
"The patient voice has to be maintained, and built upon, as a critical component of new drug development and commercialisation…"
In 2012, CSR seemed to come to the fore of pharma websites and annual reports – a trend that is likely to continue in 2013. The industry should not be embarrassed to shout about these initiatives as they are more than just PR manoeuvres, but a real investment in both areas of global need and in the development of a strong corporate culture for the future.
4. Listen to patients
'Patients' became a bit of a buzz word in 2012, but behind all the noise there has been some genuine engagement with both individual patients and patient groups around the challenges of tackling different diseases. Patients have not always been seen as the key customer in prescription markets, but the insights they bring can have a major bearing on the development of new treatments.
Regulations prevent promotion to patients in many parts of the world, but they do not prevent pharma listening to patient feedback. The patient voice has to be maintained, and built upon, as a critical component of new drug development and commercialisation right from the earliest stages, especially as real world evidence and outcomes becomes the driving issue on access.
5. Respond to criticism
No-one likes to be criticised, whether in business or personal life. However, in communicating more openly, negative feedback is inevitable. For some critics, this is a venting of frustration caused by years of closed doors (which will diminish with time), but for others there will be some genuinely useful feedback in their comments.
Pharma, like all industries, must learn to recognise that criticism which is valuable feedback and take it on board. If the points being raised are addressed it can only serve to build better relationships and a stronger business model. Perhaps 2013 will be the year pharma breaks through the criticism barrier?
6. Demonstrate thought leadership
As with all industries, the days of didactic push sales and marketing are pretty limited. We have already seen the sales force arms wars becoming redundant and significant adaptation in how pharma engages with medical professionals. This trend must continue in 2013, with such interactions demonstrating deep expertise in therapeutic area issues, rather than simply pushing individual treatments.
"Communicating thought leadership builds trust, which leads to more constructive two-way dialogue and, ultimately, more effective medical interventions."
Communicating thought leadership builds trust, which leads to more constructive two-way dialogue and, ultimately, more effective medical interventions. Both direct engagement and broader medical education programmes must continue to drive this new approach this year. In addition, demonstrating leadership around particular disease areas is incredibly valuable for recruiting the best talent and showcasing to the commercial partners.
7. Integrate digital in all comms
OK, so I know that I am slightly biased on this one, but digital is a fantastic channel for implementing all of the above. But so far every industry has slightly fallen into the trap of chasing after the latest, greatest trend in digital, whether it is a new social media channel, online forum or shiny new tech such as the iPad.
However, 2012 showed signs of pharma focussing more on doing the right things with digital, rather than getting side tracked by the hype. Moving on from this, 2013 should be the year where pharma effectively integrates digital with traditional communications channels and makes it a core component of everything it does.

Poll and ranking season continues on and on Wednesday, ESPN.com poll of 26 league insiders resulted in Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger being ranked seventh-overall at his position and placed in the second-tier.
Here is the summary for Roethlisberger per Mike Sando of ESPN Insider.
One of the offensive coaches placed Rivers and Roethlisberger in the top tier. He noted that Rivers wins with his mind while Roethlisberger wins with his physical abilities. Several GMs said they thought Roethlisberger had declined into the second tier over the past couple seasons. "If you were there in Pittsburgh, you saw him run the no-huddle, you saw the command, you saw him run and make plays," a coordinator said. "Other people will not think as much of him. He is a very good quarterback, able to get himself out of tough positions."
Said one GM: "Ben plays big-boy football — and regardless of what you think, he knows how to win the game."
Sando explains in his Insider piece that he asked 26 league insiders to grade every projected starting quarterback on a 1-5 scale, with "one" reserved for the best and "five" for the worst. Taking part in the poll were eight general managers, two former GMs, four pro personnel evaluators, seven coordinators, two head coaches and two position coaches.
The six quarterbacks ranked ahead of Roethlisberger aren't hard to figure out. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees all tied for first in the poll and those four were followed by Andrew Luck and Philip Rivers.
The thing about Ben is that he doesn't do things the way Peyton, Brady, Brees, etc do. He's not a drop back and take what you give him type QB, he makes his own plays. And since he doesn't play the way they do, he's not seen as a first tier QB. Which is ridiculous.
Ben is an Elite, top tier, first ballet HOF QB he just does it a different way and his game won't get the respect it deserves until he leads the league by doing it or until well after he retires. Ben oozes unconditional greatness and unless you watch him close enough you don't recognize it.
Wait… Ben is ranked behind Luck and Rivers…. madness
But I thought Joe Flacco was the #1 QB in league??? He even said so himself…. I'm confused
BS – The name of the game is championships. Correct? Is that not the goal of an NFL Team and organization in the NFL. Last I checked it is still a team sport not an individual stat game. So…. In light of that, Ben should be #2 right behind Brady. (Brady – 3, Ben – 2, Manning – 1, Brees -1, Rodgers -1, Luck & Rivers – 0!) – PS Rivers??? Seriously?
So, in your opinion Troy Aikman is a better quarterback than Dan Marino? Or, even worse, Eli Manning is a better quarterback than Peyton Manning? I get it, the goal of any sports team is to win championships so it seems perfectly reasonable to judge a team's success on their ability to win championships. However, to then judge a single player's worth (albeit one who plays the most important position) on championships won seems a little short sighted.
Put those guys behind the O line that Ben has had and the poor field position that the defense has given him, and I don't think ANY of them would rank higher than Ben.
Putting him behind Luck and Rivers I think is a travesty. Rivers is a very good QB, but when you have 2 guys who are so close I think the tiebreaker should go to the ultimate part of the debate…SB wins. How close are they?
2,646 Comp
64.4 Comp %
32,369 Yards
92.3 Rating
2,749 Comp
4,346 Att
63.3 Comp %
34,105 Yards
89.1 Rating
But look at the playoff stats
9 GP 4 Wins
14 GP 10 Wins including 2 Super Bowl wins
(granted one he played horrible and won any way)
So if you look at one big thing….Ben 4 losses in the playoffs, Rivers 4 wins in the playoffs….That should be a factor IMO. Not to saying that is THE factor, but when you have guys this close it should be A factor.
When it comes to Luck, that is rep, not performance at this point IMO. Not to say it won't happen, but at the moment he hasn't earned that ranking IMO.
Story is
I would like to see if any of these "top tier" quarterbacks could survive with Mike Adams protecting their blindside.
Super Bowls: Manning 1-2, Luck 0-0, Rivers 0-0, Brees, 1-0, Ben 2-1
Again this espn and NFL Network Balony with their so called Ranking BS. Steelers fans don't really care what they think we know what we have in BEN !!
Unless you have an historic defense, the QB is usually the guy most instrumental in getting a team to the SB. That's especially true with today's air it out offense.
Brady, Brees, Rodgers and Manning I could understand. Anyone else and there is heavy debate.
I would rank Ben ahead of Luck easily and just slightly above Rivers and just about dead even with Aaron Rogers
I dont agree.that he is top tier… Manning Brady and Brees are on a different level… Rodgers and Roethlisberger are at the top of the next tier though
For the last four years the Steelers have played second their football. No surprise here.
People still try to argue that Ben is tier 1 quarterback? lol..
lol #SteelerNation
They play different games.
Ben owns a career 67.3% win percentage including playoff games. Phil is at 60.6% also including playoff games. So Rivers obviously knows how to lose with his mind. I honestly don't care for the way they rank QBs as it's all about stats. Every real fan in any sport knows stats don't tell the whole story. I really believe Roethlisberger is the only QB in the league who could have been successful with the offensive line and mostly stale rushing attack he's played with. What Ben brings to the table goes beyond stats. He's the toughest QB in the league with the heart and determination of a champion. After we climb the stairway to seven, they can say he's a tier 3 QB, it won't matter to any of us Steeler fans.
the other teams and media can pick who they want ..i for one like ben as my qb over any other qb in the game today ….more so then any of the others is because he plays the game the way its drawn up in any back yard or vacant lot or play ground ..he dont need no ref to flag a guy hitting him or touching him or some football commish who would rather it be called something else besides football…they can rank ben dead last and i still want him over any of the so called soon to be hall a famers…not one of them can play the game the way it was ment to be played …they need special rules and secret tapeing to win..
Ben is a very very good jock and not a student of the game.Under Haley he just started throwing to his check downs.
Well said!!!
Exactly! Bens only competition is Brady.
In order to analyze one player,you first have to analyze what the other 10 players on his side of ball and eleven other players on opposite side of ball are doing first
Meaning put any other qb on steelers and show me one that could do what Ben does.Put Ben on any of those other teams and I bet besides the pats he gets you more superbowls than what the qbs of those teams have delivered to there respected franchises.All Ben does is wins is not true..He does an awful lot more than that,that many other qbs in the league can not do.Every system is different.
He had his second best year,but nobody sees that cause they went 8&8.Imo his three best years was his Super Bowl years.Its all about the rings.I don't care what his stats are at the end of the day.All that matters is wins and losses and how many rings.I don't care if he throws a hundred touchdowns next year.I still wouldn't call it his best year unless he also wins a ring.
IMO he was two years ago for that year.I couldn't tell you any qb stats w out looking them up two years ago,and who cares.I can tell you the qb that won the Super Bowl two years ago which tells me outta the 32 qbs in the league he had the most success.Last year is a different story.I don't think Flacco was top ten.Imo if you don't win the ring the best you can be is second or the first loser (Peyton)whichever way you wanna look at it.
I also realize you were being sarcastic ,I just wanted to put my two cents in.
"Several GMs have said they thought Ben had declined into the second tier over the PAST COUPLE OF SEASONS." This is a result of an Offensive Coordinator that has no clue how to coach to the strength of his players. Ben is a lower tier one QB hamstrung by a coach. Can't blame O Line, running game or any of the 10 other players.
Haha, glad you caught the sarcasm. Seriously though, at times Joe shows flashes of being a great quarterback, but his problem has always been consistency. I believe it was that season where he had QBRs in games of less than 1 in multiple games. I'm not big on the QBR stat, but it speaks some truth to just how bad some of his performances were that season. You can't ignore what he did in the playoffs, but that was the most consistent 4 game string of his life. In my opinion, it'll never happen again in any 4 game stretch of his career. At least not that good of a stretch. That year, the ravens won despite him in the regular season and because of him in the playoffs.
I love when anonymous "insiders" are the source of such analysis/rankings, as if they don't have their own biases or agendas.
Anyway, I'm fine with the top four, but I'd put Ben well ahead of Rivers and maybe also ahead of Luck, who still has a lot to prove. But the fact is, you can't consider QBs in isolation — so much is dependent on the system they play in and the talent around them. Okay, maybe Ben isn't, and has never been, truly elite, along the lines of those four, but he brings a lot to the game that even someone like Manning doesn't, and he deserves an awful lot of credit for that.
The sad part is that you can't get some Steelers to agree that he's an top tier QB. Is he as good as Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rodgers? I would say no if you put Ben on their teams. However, I believe Ben is better than all of them except maybe Rodgers if you had to put those guys on our Steelers team.
These fools talking about Ben sees it from their perspective of a traditional QB. Ben is by far better than Rivers and has done far more than Luck who may eventually be better. Not now. There is a lot of hatred for Ben, especially in the media but he did it to himself. Dude has been to three Superbowls but these genius will give all the credit to the defense.
First he's not a HOF, next he's not Elite and now he's not a top tier. I really don't care what they say about Ben, since he is all of that and the most important, a winner.
One tough SOB. Haters are gonna hate, but at the end of the day he gets results- and respect from his teammates.
I can care less about some ranking I know Ben is a top flight elite quarterback…just look at the numbers (playoff wins and championships).
I would put Flacco as a second tier qb right now over his career. Definitely not class I put Ben Rothlisberger in.imo he (Ben)is without a doubt in the top five.
A second tier Q.B. who played in 3 super bowls within 5 years, bite me ESPN.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 794 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Visitor123 Not up to par with other Westin hotels I stayed at this Westin for five days for work in June 2013. Unfortunately, it does not measure up to other Westins that I've stayed in. The staff were good but the room was completely devoid of the comforts that you expect - even a room safe! It had no room safe (they had to come install one the night I arrived); the mini bar was totally empty (they later said they discontinued the program and the fridge should't even be there); and the room didn't even have a pen, pad of paper or an envelope. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom up to their usual standards; it's just the little things that they missed. It is nice that the property is small, so there's no winding a half mile to get from the parking lot to my room. June 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by overthetop best hotel, best value, best comfort. this hotel is best, no smoking anywhere even the casino,. Room Service, whenever you ask for it. FrontDesk staff attentive to all your needs. Centrally Located, Quiet! Spa is Awesome. Love it @ i will be back. June 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by overthetop Awesome The Westin staff is spot on, from checking to the room service, spa, just over the top. Great hotel, great service, and great price. Everything works here. June 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by GeeWhiz Fantastic Hotel ! I have to say I was nervous staying at this hotel after reading some of the reviews. I was pleasantly surprised! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Everyone from the checkin to the casino were the friendliest I have ever encounter at an SPG hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean. I would definately stay at this hotel again. June 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ilovespg Not a category 5 property At best a category 3 property. Even the deluxe rooms on top floor were too small and had dirty carpets. Being platinum, I was upgraded to a suite a few days before arrival but on arrival suite was not available as hotel has been having water seepage problems in many suites. Food in the restaurant was bad and equally bad was the service by the waiting staff. On the positive side the Westin beds were good as always. Overall experience not even close to other SPG Cat 5 properties. June 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2636 Great location and pool The staff are very friendly and attentive. Pool and fitness center are great. Rooms are large and clean. Very close to the las Vegas strip. Nice atmosphere. June 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flor59 Great Hotel I am very pleasantly surprised how wonderful the Westin Las Vegas hotel. It is smoke-free and smells so great! The staff was wonderful too. June 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alli close to the strip.. a great alternative we enjoyed our stay. clean, nice, close to everything. June 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Debbie617 A GREAT FIND IN VEGAS! The Westin was the perfect spot for our 4 night stay in Vegas. Convenient to the strip but away from the hustle and bustle. From the moment we walked in we were impressed. The SPG staff were extremely helpful as was the staff at the Concierge desk in answering questions and assisting us in getting tickets to shows. The hotel was clean, the food in the Suede restaurant was good (loved the Angus burger!) and reasonably priced. Enjoyed Happy Hour and Karaoke. The casino staff provided a fun afternoon at the $3 blackjack table! We would definitely recommend the Westin Hotel and would love to go back. June 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jc5555 Guest Very curtious employees throughout the hotel. June 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TVAtlanta Close to the strip and great service Another very nice stay at this property. I have stayed here a few times, and have always enjoyed the experience. Service was excellent, and location, while not directly on the strip, is a short walk away. Would recommend staying here, especially for SPG members. May 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Washington27 Wonderful Stay As a frequent traveler and an SPG member, I like to frequent Starwood hotels. I find the Las Vegas Westin to be a great value and a quiet place to stay. Close to the monorail, I found it to provide quicker access to the Strip and to the convention center than a taxi. The staff pays ultra attention to the needs of all guests. May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DanInDC Pleasant Hotel with Friendly Staff First, the room and the bathroom were totally fine. Provided some well needed rest between two backpacking trips! The hotel location was great -- close to everything if you want to have fun, but quiet enough to actually relax if you wanted to. The staff here were more than friendly. I received a call prior to my arrival, was asked several times if any requests needed accommodation, and also received a call after checking out. For someone who did not voice any concerns or complaints, a thank you call is much appreciated. May 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pamela19 I expected more I can't say that we were pleased with our visit. We stayed two nights. On the second day our room was never cleaned. We arrived back after midnight and it still had not been cleaned. We were tired and just wanted to go to bed so it made no sense to call down and ask to get it cleaned. Don't expect a good nights sleep. After getting to bed early in the morning, we were awaken before 7am by cleaning staff yelling down the hallway. May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vanessa2013 Flight Attendant The staff at the Westin is very friendly and professional. They are always happy to answer your questions. The atmostphere is welcoming from the moment that you walk into the lobby. I really look forward to having the signature burger in the restaurant. The rooms are comfortable and the curtains are very good at blocking the sun if you are hoping to sleep in after a fun night downstairs in the casino! May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DLbabe great stay I travel to from Vegas a lot and this is a great place to stay especially on business.. May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Neilson Wonderful hotel to visit Great staff who cares, extremely clean roooms and very comfortable. Fun bar and casino, very good food. Nice location to walk around the the strip. May 24, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Robert Very low quality construction This building is the lowest quality, cheaply constructed, non-insulated and nosiest hotel I have ever stayed. Westin should be embarrassed about having its name on this property. May 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Javag01 This hotel is at a good location The hotel is not on the Las Vegas strip itself, but only a 10 minute walk away from it. The room is comfortable, but does not have the typical Westin walk in shower. May 19, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Guest5 Hotel needs room remodel and bathroom update. Hotel needs room remodel and bathroom update. This was not the level of property I expect from Westin. They did not even have the new Westin Showerhead. Also how do you have a mini bar and prices listed in the room but not have the mini bar stocked?? May 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RedheadSkyGoddess Excellent hotel for business stay I'm a flight attendant, and stayed here on my layover. I sincerely enjoyed my room, and slept very soundly. Modern and comfortable designs with friendly staff made this a pleasurable experience! May 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KB228 Great Hotel in Las Vegas The hotel itself is great! There is a Starbucks in the lobby open 24 hours. The restaurant has excellent food. The casino is small, but has everything you're looking for. I really enjoy staying at this property and do so whenever I am in Las Vegas. Normally, the staff is exceptional. On this particular stay, the staff fell way below acceptable. I would still recommend this hotel as I'm sure this is an isolated occurence. The rooms are very comfortable and the service at the bar by the pool is great. May 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JamesT Decent Decent hotel, not as nice as most of the Westins I have stayed at though. May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sjbman54 Small in stature. Giant in comfort Staff is very friendly and helpful. I will stay here every time I visit Las Vegas. Hands down, the cleanest hotel I have visited in Vegas. May 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by marie09 This hotel is perfect Perfect location, amazing rooms, great staff, awesome service May 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by zekec5 Vegas Westin Excellent property to stay in Las Vegas. May 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JBFL Good Property - Poor Execution Stayed here with my family first night, great experience (quick check-in, upgraded, breakfast was good). Went away for 2 nights, come back and it seemed a different place. check-in was clunky and long, upgrade certificate fumbled, cleaning left dirty rags on the bathroom counter. Not sure what happened. May 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by brownie Quiet hotel off the strip We booked rooms (3) using my Starwood points to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. The location is off the strip and it has a small casino in the lobby area. The hotel is non-smoking but the casino is not. THIS IS NOT A CATEGORY 5 HOTEL!!! The hotel is not up to the standards of a Category 5. It is average at best with little to no SPG recognition. No upgrade... other than the SPG Preferred floor. Rooms are drab and nothing special. No birthday recognition. I was not impressed. The breakfast buffet (amentity for Platinum) was a nice buffet with a vareity of choices. April 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Redhot56 Like the hotel; carpeting was disgustung The hotel is fine and in a good location, however, the room I was in was disappointing. I took a shower and by the time I walked to the bed to put on my socks and shoes my feet were filthy. This is not the cleanliness quality I am used to at an SPG property. April 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Armywife Worst Westin in SPG Jaxier at check out was horrible. This is our third stay and each time I wonder why we come back. We return because of SPG. This hotel is beat up and their staff disappoints us every time. It's simply the worst Westin we've ever stayed in. We have left poor comments each time we have stayed and still see no improvement. I hope this helps someone avoid a lousy experience at this Westin. April 29, 2013

Copper Frog Garden Stake 1 1
Beautiful Copper Frog Garden Stake I ordered the larger size stake because I thought it would show more detail and does it ever. This copper stake is beautiful and full of whimsy. The colors in the lilly pad are a nice variation of green and the gleaming copper frog really sets it off. The quality is superb. After seeing it in person I'm surprised that the price wasn't higher. Its just that nice. June 24, 2014

Josh Robinson is never short on words.
The Mississippi State junior running back is not shy by a long shot and that is seen on and off the gridiron.
Robinson talks when he does something good and he also talks when he gets knocked down.
Many consider him the "juice" bringer on the offensive side of the football. Defensive coordinator Geoff Collins started the whole "juice" phenomenon on the Bulldog football team, but Robinson likes to take a good bit of credit for it as well.
"I'm the juice guy," Robinson said. "Coach Collins brings the juice to the defense. I bring the juice to the offense."
MSU head coach Dan Mullen likes to have guys like Robinson on his sideline because of his energy level and the intensity he brings.Â
"He has a lot of energy in him, (and) he likes to talk," Mullen said. "It's good to have those guys with the excitement he plays with."
Bulldog fans will get to see a good bit more of Robinson this year as he is expected to be the starting tailback.
