At Least Nick Sheridan Has People Skills
One of the most lamentable aspects of being a college football fan as far as I'm concerned has long been the lack of quality stat keeping, as well as analysis. Matt Hinton (currently Dr. Saturday) and Chris at Smart Football are great, and if CFB Stats didn't exist, this post wouldn't exist, but it ain't no Fangraphs and those fellas ain't quite Tom Tango, who literally wrote The Book on baseball. Not that it's a fair comparison.
I bring Tango up because his stat wOBA inspired this post. wOBA (weighted On Base Average) is basically on base percentage gone plaid. Instead of dividing times on base (1B+2B+3B+HR+BB+HBP+ROE) by plate appearances, you decide how valuable in terms of runs each of those individual events are and then proceed (hence weighted). OBP is transformed into runs per plate appearance. Multiply times total PAs and you have the runs that batter was responsible for in that season. And scoring (or preventing) runs are the bottom line in baseball. In sum: bases get you runs get you wins. In football, it looks like this:
Yards - Turnovers = Points
This isn't exactly groundbreaking. It's a fundamental assumption behind Dr. Saturday's Life on the Margins, iirc, and I'm pretty sure this is what I'm going to find in Pete Palmer's Hidden Game of Football if and when it eventually ships to a2. And it's sorta-kinda what David Romer did, though not nearly exhaustive. The theory is good. The actual arithmetic is kind of annoying and is summarized in the following paragraph. Feel free to skip to the part where we find out just how crippling the impact of Nick Sheridan was and how much worse it could have been.
The key to being able to do this yourself is to figure out yards and turnovers in terms of points. I ripped the drive logs of every Big Ten conference game in 2008 from Yahoo. That'll give you yards/point, which came out to about 15. Then I plotted, in buckets of 10 yards, the percent of drives that resulted in a TD or FG based on the drive starting field position, except the last 30 yards which I averaged at the opponent's 15 due to relatively few samples.* This gives you average expected points based on field position. That plus average field position equals the average value of a possession, which is what you lose in a turnover. Not only that, but you give expected points to your opposition. According to my math, an INT was worth about -4 points. Thus points per throw is (Yds/15 + INTs*4)/attempts.
Feel free to comment
I Am Not An Expert. If my math is off, then suggest different constants/methods. They pass the sniff test to me; I ran assorted regressions on excel to test assumptions and it looked right. I'd be glad to share the drive chart database. Onward...
The Part Where We Find Out Just How Crippling The Impact Of Nick Sheridan Was
go here
It's sorted by pts/attempt, the relevant measure. Average was .33. Mr. Sheridan was dead last with those over 50 attempts with .15 points per attempt. An all around average team wins 4 games. The results indicate that an all around average team that replaced its average quarterback with Nick Sheridan would win 2 (converting to wins over average is easy enough). But it would also have tremendous team chemistry and at least one valedictorian. Wins aren't everything.
Also, check out Terrelle Pryor's numbers. Remember, this is just per throw. Rushing and sack yards are not included, nor is it defense adjusted. Having rewatched the Texas and Michigan games in HD (being able to see the d-backs helps), I was impressed. Tressel used the threat of Wells inside and Pryor's skills when bootlegged on the edge to great effect. The playbook seemed cut down, but his athleticism made it work. The sack numbers (scroll right in the g-doc) and somewhat inconsistent mechanics are the most glaring issues, but they were exaggerated by a bad pass blocking unit in front of him. In conclusion: barring injury, Pryor is going to be a terror. Surprise! Rivals #1 overall prospect in 2008 is projected to dominate. At least he'll probably be gone after his junior year.
*It's a shortcut and it probably understates how valuable possessions that start inside the 15 are. I actually think inside the 15 the function is probably no longer linear. I'm also sorry that this is isn't the most thorough or transparent presentation. It's a start though.
UM vs PSU breakdown for Saturday
With both teams being ranked in the Top 25, it should be an exciting meet at Cliff Keen. PSU will most likely be without the number 2 ranked 149 pounder in the country as Bubba Jenkins injured himself a couple weeks ago. That will definately help the Wolverines.
125: Watts (UM) vs Pataky (PSU). Pataky comes in the higher rank but both wrestlers are pretty evenly matched. If UM wins this match it's a good sign of things to come the rest of the meet. However, Pataky is tough on his feet and can scramble real well. I ll go with Pataky in a close one UM 0 PSU 3
133: Stevens (UM) vs Strayer (PSU). Strayer is a tough kid and more experienced than Stevens. Been a tough year for Stevens but keeping this match close will go a long way for the Wolverines. UM 0 PSU 7
141: Russell (UM) vs Molnaso (PSU). Russell needs to work for extra points here, he is obviously more talented. UM 4 PSU 7
149: Beaudrey (UM) vs Pisani (PSU). With Bubba Jenkins out last meet, it appears Pisani will step in. Jenkins hurt his ankle a few weeks back and would be a great blow to the Nitney Lions if he cannot go. Either way PSU still gets at least 3 here. UM 4 PSU 10
157: Hynes (UM) vs Darling (PSU). Hynes should pull out a victory here, coming off a big win against Rex Kendle of MSU last weekend. UM 7 PSU 10
165: Zeerip (UM) vs Vallimont (PSU). Zeerip is improving but Vallimont will be too much for him here. Zeerip should keep to only a regular decision UM 7 PSU 13
174: Luke (UM) vs Wright (PSU). Wright is only a freshman but has been wrestling tough all year to earn the 17th ranking in the country. However, Luke is just too good. Luke isn't a great pinner, but should be able to score a major decision here. UM 11 PSU 13
184- Biondo (UM) vs Decker (PSU). Biondo should win this match fairly easily and should be looking for bonus points. A major decision here would solidify a UM win. UM 15 PSU 13
197- Todd (UM) vs Brown (PSU). Todd needs to secure a wolverine victory by working for extra points against an inferior opponent and take the pressure off Phillips at Heavyweight. Look for at least a major to seal the victory. UM 19 PSU 13
Hvy; Phillips vs Wade (PSU). This match is a real toss up. Both wrestlers are a little small for heavyweights but Phillips is a little more athletic. I ll give it to Phillips in a close one UM 22 PSU 13
UM vs OSU Wrestling Prediction
Big Wrestling Meet Tomorrow at Cliff Keen with #17 UofM against #6 Ohio State at 7 PM. On Saturday the Wolverines will square off against #24 Penn State at the same time and venue. Michigan is undefeated in the Big Ten and is coming off a blowout win against MSU. The team is really starting to click now it seems.
UofM ranked wrestlers (According to intermat)
125 Pounds: Michael Watts (SR) 17th
141 Pounds: Kellen Russell (So) 5th
174 Pounds: Steve Luke (SR) 1st
184 Pounds: Anthony Biondo (So) 13th
197 Pounds: Tyrell Todd (SR) 6th
133 Pounds: Reece Humphrey (JR) 2nd
141 Pounds: J Jaeggers (SR) 11th
149 Pounds: Lance Palmer (JR) 4th
157 Pounds: Jason Johnstone (SR) 17th
165 Pounds: Colt Sponseller (So) 2nd
184 POunds: Mike Pucillo (Jr) 2nd
125 Pounds: Brad Pataky (SO) 13th
133 Pounds: Jake Strayer (Sr) 9th
149 Pounds: Bubba Jenkins (Jr) 2nd
165 Pounds: Dan Vallimont (Jr) 20th
174 Pounds: Quentin Wright (Fr) 17th
Heres My Predictions
125- Watts (UM) vs Triggas (OSU). This is a big match for Michigan. Watts needs to try and get some extra points. Most likely a UofM win but only 3 team points (3-0 UM)
133- Stevens (UM) vs Humphrey (OSU). Humphrey is a stud and Stevens is a true freshman. Stevens needs to do the best he can to not get pinned. Stevens did an excellent job against Franklin Gomez of MSU (5th ranked)only getting majored. I ll give Stevens the benefit of the doubt (UM-3 OSU-5)
141- Russell (UM) vs Jaggers (OSU). Wow, this is gonna be a great match. Russell is a true Sophomore and made alot of noise last year, being Michigans big time recruit from Blair Academy. Russell beat Jaggers in a close match last year and will do the same this year. (UM-6 OSU-5)
149- Beaudrey (UM) vs Palmer (OSU). It's gonna be tough for Beaudry to stay off his back against Palmer. Beaudrey is new to the UM lineup and Palmer is a stud. UM-6 OSU-11
157- Hynes (UM) vs Nemac (OSU). This is a match UM has to have. Nemac is a true freshman but was one of the top recruits of the nation this year. Hynes is a senior and needs to step up. UM-9 OSU 11
165- Zeerip (UM) vs Sponseller (OSU). Zeerip is a 4 time state champ out of Michigan and had never lost a match in high school. However, he is a redshirt freshman and learning the ropes of college wrestling. Sponseller is a tested veteran. Zeerip needs to try and keep close, however it will be hard. UM-9 OSU 15
174- Luke (UM) vs Rella (OSU). This is where Michigans big boys come up. Luke is the top rated 174 for a reason, he is tough. Should be looking for a pin here. UM-15 OSU 15
184- Biondo (UM) vs Pucillo (OSU). Biondo has shown great improvement. I can't believe he used to wrestled 103 in high school! But Pucillo is very good, should be a decent match but Pucillo should pull out a close one UM 15 OSU 18
197- Todd (UM) vs Gardner (OSU). Todd is a captain and needs to work for extra points here. If he can get the pin, it would be huge. I ll give it to him here. UM 21 OSU 18
HVY- Phillips (UM) vs Morrison (OSU). The winner of the meet will be decided at hvy. Phillips is undersized for a heavyweight but is all muscle. Morrison is a little more of a true heavyweight. A Michigan loss here and they tie, a Phillips win and the team wins....I ll give it to Phillips UM 24 OSU 18. Granted I think a Tie is very possible and there is no tiebreaker in college wrestling.
Bubble News: The Out of Town Scoreboard Hates Michigan
Despite not playing a game, Michigan's hopes for a NCAA tournament bid took a hit as a result of last night's action on the hardwood. Left to scoreboard watching in the wake of the Wolverine's loss to the Spartans Tuesday, I was hoping to see some fellow bubble teams crash and burn. Sadly the opposite happened and several teams that were even or slightly ahead of UM in the bubble pecking order notched key wins. Here's a quick wrap of some of the bad news:
The Kansas State Wildcats routed Texas Tech, notching their sixth straight victory. The win puts KSU in the driver's seat for fourth place in the Big 12 and a first-round bye in the league's postseason tournament. It also helped further legitimize their quest for a surprise bid in the post Beasley/Walker era. A win Saturday at home against the hated Jayhawks could put KSU in near lock status.
Continuing their strong mid winter push, the Cincy Bearcats clinched their first winning season under new coach Mark Cronin by slipping by dormant St. Johns. The Bearcats aren't celebrating that feat as they have bigger fish to fry: A possible NCAA tourney bid and a date with powerful Pittsburgh over the weekend.
LSU notched its biggest win in years (even bigger than during the Final Four run in 2006? Really?), and have solidified its place atop the SEC West standings and, perhaps, more importantly in the NCAA field.
Elsewhere in the SEC, the Tennessee Vols kept pace in the SEC East. They beat up on a team they should beat in last place Georgia, so the win is not impressive by any stretch. Still, after losing at weak Auburn over the weekend, the Vols needed a bounce back win. With their SOS, it will be tough to keep the Vols out of the field, but every game from here on out will be important.
Here's a shocker: the Virginia Tech Hokies played another close game. Always living on the edge, Virginia Tech has avoided disaster all week. Sunday, they used a miracle second half comeback to stave off an upset bid from NC State. Last night, a workmanlike performance was needed to ease by Georgia Tech. The Hokies are in great position for a bid, but they're heading into the meatiest part of their slate. They close out with 2 games against FSU and a game each against Maryland, UVA, UNC, Duke and Clemson, so they have a long way to go before they can feel easy about being guaranteed a spot.
The Wisconsin Badgers are back in contention for a bid after winning their third game in a row after topping Iowa last night. Wisco looked dead only days ago, but one winning streak later they're probably no worse than sixth in the Big 10 pecking order heading into the weekend.
It's time to drink the Dayton Flyer Koolaid. After dropping a game over the weekend to UNC Charlotte, Dayton responded by getting its biggest resume win of the season, thumping state rival Xavier. If the Flyers showed any signs of weakness, I got the impression bracketologists were more than willing to dump them from their fields. However, after such a marquee win, the Flyers looks as secure in the field as any other bubble team right now.
Out west, Utah buzzed San Diego State to take over sole possession of first place in the Mountain West Conference. We all know how I feel about the MWC and their projected four bids into the tournament. Last night's results probably did not impact that number for today, but I actually think the Utes win spins somewhat positively for the Maize and Blue. Among the quartet of teams (Utah, SDSU, BYU and UNLV), the Utes appeared to be the most firm in most mock fields. BYU and UNLV are just hanging on by a thread. The Aztecs are somewhere in between. The loss to Utah should push them closer to the bubble's edge. I dont think the Aztecs get an at large bid unless they win the regular season crown. Last night's loss will make that feat harder to achieve.
All those teams notching wins last night are officially ahead of Michigan in the pecking order. Not only do the Wolverines need to turn their own season around, but they could use a hiccup or two out of those programs as well.
It was not all bad news for the Maize and Blue tournament hopes last night. Some positive results did come across the finish line.
Penn State continued to see its shine dull. The Lions have now dropped three in a row and have to be behind Michigan now in the Big 10's pecking order. PSU stud Talor Battle was shut down last night and eventually outclassed by a plucky Purdue walk-on, dubbed Bobby Buckets.
The Baylor Bears continued its freefall. They were a team I would have pegged in preseason as a tournament team. However, they started the week in worse position than Michigan, and they missed another chance to snare a big win when Oklahoma drubbed them on their home floor.
Boston College, a team in most fields right now as a double digit seed, lost a halftime lead and dropped a home game to Clemson. The Eagles bid is out there for the taking if they continue to play average ball.
It does not sound like much, but at least those results helped Michigan's cause.
Focusing on the Bracket Project, of the final dozen teams fielded via at large bids, six notched wins this week, two lost and four either haven't played this week or don't take the floor again until this weekend. Of the first eight teams left out of the field, Wisconsin, Creighton, and Kansas State won; Michigan, Penn St and Oklahoma St lost; St Mary's plays tonight; and Georgetown is off until Saturday.
What does any of that mean? Nothing, really, as these are only faux brackets and there are a ton of hoops left to be played. However, a pecking order is being determined. As of now, nobody looks like they're falling out of the field. That's not good for Michigan. Worse, it looks like they're falling to the bottom of the list of the group of wannabees that currently sit on the outside looking in.
A lot can change with a full weekend of hoops ahead of us. And, there are some games going on tonight that might help shakedown the bubble. Here's what's on tap:
USC at Arizona, 10:30, FSN. Line, AU -2
Far and away, this game between the Trojans and Wildcats is the biggest bubble matchup of the night. In the Bracket Project, both of these clubs are among the final dozen at large teams, with USC coming in as an 11-seed and Arizona just squeezing in as a 12. The Cats are hot right now, riding a five game winning streak. Tonight, they face a plucky USC team that is 30-13 ATS as an underdog in the Tim Floyd era. They've also covered 17 of their last 24 on the road. Hmmm, intriguing. Regardless, the loser tonight finds their tenous spot in the field on even shakier ground. Michigan fans need to root for the loser tonight to go in a tailspin.
Gonzaga at St. Mary's, 11, ESPN 2. Line, Zags -4.5
The Gaels may prove an interesting case study for the committee. They seemed a sure thing until a few weeks ago when star Patty Mills went down with a broken hand. They've lost three of four since. According to the Bracket Project, the Gaels are a consensus 'final four teams out' team, although Lunardi, for one, at ESPN still places them along the 11-line. The committee has been known to give teams dealing with injuries a break, provided they're healthy and playing well come Selection Sunday. With a win tonight over the Zags, the Gaels may not need the charity. With a loss, however, the club is on thin ice.
The Zags, meanwhile, were worked over ptetty good on their home floor by Memphis their last time out. Despite being undeafeted in league play, the loss is creating some introspection among the Kennel Klub patrons.
Louisville at Notre Dame. 7 pm ESPN. Line, L'Ville -2
Dear Louisville: Please stick a dagger in the heart (if they still have one….zing!!) of the Irish tonight. Once a top-10 team, the Irish aren't even on anybody's radar right now as far as an at large bid is concerned. That's what a 7-game losing streak will do to you. Irish fans appear to have given up the ship. Rather than hammering more discussion on a one-man offense and a defense that cant stop the other team's best forward, Irish bloggers have gone back to the drawing board in hopes of discovering the keys to creating a perennial power.
The slate eases up slightly down the stretch for Notre Dame, so if the Irish can nab a big scalp tonight against the Cardinals they might be able to claw their way back into everyone's good graces. Let's hope it does not happen.
Illinois at Northwestern, 9pm, ESPN 2. Line, Illini -2
The Illini are a lock to make the field. The Wildcats are a long shot. This is not a huge bubble game, but it's the only Big 10 game of the night. Michigan plays the Wildcats next, so tune in for some advance scouting.
UCLA at Arizona St, 9pm ESPM. Line, UCLA -1
First place is on the line tonight in the desert. Ben Ball was stifled in these team's first game. Can UCLA exact a measure of revenge?
Meanwhile, despite a team battling for first place and a projected Sweet 16 team, it appears that nobody in Tempe is paying attention. Of course, when the primary blog covering ASU is plastered with football recruiting news on the day of the biggest hoops game of the season, can you blame anyone for not being that sky high?
Considering UM's SOS took a hit last night with the losses by Duke and Northeastern, it would be nice to see UCLA win this game. Michigan will be on the bubble come Selection Sunday and their win over the Bruins needs to look as impressive as possible. A win over the Pac 10 champs would be a nice feather in the Wolverines' cap.

Should M Hockey... tank a game????
So I was parusing my usual USCHO.com Bracketology by Jason Moy reading for today and I had a disturbing thought.
Michigan hockey is in line for #1 seed which is good. But if Notre Dame finished ahead of us, they likely would get the #1 seed in the region closest to them which is Grand Rapids, likely pushing us out to the Western regional in Minnesota. Not too bad yet.
HOWEVER, Minnesota still has a shot of getting in as a #4 seed which since they're the host school for the Western regional, that means they get to play home games at theri campus rink as #4 seed. I'm sure the astute Michigan hockey fan will remember the advantage we received playing as the lower seed in Yost when we took out St Cloud St and one of those Colorado schools (Denver, right??) who was the #1 seed that year. So I don't want to get screwed by being a #1 seed and having to go to a "Region of Death" accentuated by the #4 seed being the home team.
That brings up the interesting dilemma... do we take the final day/weekend of the CCHA regular season off to lower our RPI so we're not a #1 seed. You say, "But W.I.E., even if we're a #2 seed that doesn't mean we won't get into a region of death". True, we still could be the #2 seed, get shipped to Minnesota's region anyway and still possibly play them in a regional final.
I hate doing this thought exercise, but let's take a hypothetical. Say we do this and get the #2 seed. Then say the NCAA decides to act on the proposed "geographic limitation rule" for all tourneys except basketball where a conscious effort is made to keep all teams as close to campus as possible. This would mean as a #2 seed we would likely be kept in Grand Rapids with Notre Dame as the #1 and a third CCHA team as the #3 seed (Ohio State by the latest bracketology). Outside of IMO having a better chance to win the region overall, the atmosphere in that place would be electric and provide some very entertaining rivalry hockey.
Now Minnesota could make this all moot by losing their at-large bid through continuing to descend the last couple weeks of the season (I'll take my chances with a Wisconsin #4 seed in Minneapolis). And I hate losing no matter what. But what say you M-hockey nation? Would you consider tanking against Ferris if it meant avoiding a Region of Death and getting our own non-#1 seed home regional in grand rapids?

Strange something is a top-down shooter permadeath game with minimalistic graphics. Each game the attacks of enemies are generated randomly. Their and the player's attack can be modified by a variety of upgrades, each affecting the player and the enemies in the same way. The game is currently in development.
Added little things that shoot themselves at the player when he gets close and randomly chosen generated level modifications.
New types of levels(mystery box room, arena), new enemies, other stuff.
Added sound, treasure rooms, chests. High score in now stored. Also, some minor changes.
This version adds a score meter(although it isn't saved anywhere yet), harder enemies that appear more frequently as the score goes higher and glowing...
A lot of changes: added little resizing animations, added spawners, enemies don't drop anything now, spawners do, added special walls that turn into enemies...
First downloadable version of the game, far from finished. A lot of the stuff is random, so unpredicted things may happen.

Customer Reviews of Garmin nüvi 755T 4.3" Portable GPS - Lane Assist/Text To Speech/Traffic
good product, but not perfect1/15/2011
this product is very good, but it also has some disadvantage especially the sucktion mount. it is very tedious to assemble and disassemble. other than this, it is very good.
Pretty good GPS7/29/2009
I had checked several reviews of GPS units and was intending on buying a Garmin 255T until I saw some of the extra features on the 755T. Lifetime traffic and lane assist, I am not sure how useful the 3D buildings will be, we will have to see. I haven't seen it show a screen like above with the freeway signs above lanes, but it has shown me which lane to be in on some screwy interchanges that are not labeled well. The traffic feature will indicate Green, Yellow, or Red depending on how slow traffic is ahead, and you can click on it to see how bad each section of the road is ahead. I have to update the map to the newest version, hopefully that will have recently updated interchanges in it, I was driving in mid air at one point because the preloaded map was from before the construction. It easily reroutes anytime I have to, or choose to ignore its directions. This is my first GPS and I am pretty pleased so far.4 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
A few glitches6/8/2009
This is my first GPS. I've had a couple of small issues with my new garmin since my purchase. The first being it wanted to go the wrong way around a roundabout, the speed limit displayed for the road I was on was not correct, I had difficulty making custom routes, and not all known establishments appear during the search. It does recalculate routes very quickly and I love the arrival time feature. I would suggest buying a different mount than the one that comes with the product because it has fallen off my window and dash every time.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
New to me Garmin 755 nuvi5/21/2009
I own several different GPS units, some old and one or two newer models, and I have finally figured out that Gamin products are the best working units around. My new 755t has a bunch of new features, and to name a few: In the bottom left corner it displays the speed limit of the road your on, and right next to it the speed your traveling. What a great feature, you really don't need to look at you car's speedometer anymore while using the Gamin. Next great feature is in the upper left corner it shows what lane you need to be for the next turn, long before you have make that decision. The 755 T comes with lifetime traffic update, and although I never really needed it on this trip, one time the traffic circle display turned from green to yellow and outlined the area of the road that might be running a little slow. The Gamin 755t is really fast at acquiring signals and re-calculates even faster than all of the older Gamin devices I have. It has a nice big display that is easy to read even in bright sunlight. There are several cousins to the 755t, a 765 and I think a 775 as well, one with Bluetooth to answer you cell phone, but I didn't need that feature on mine so I chose the 755t. Overall a great product, and Gamin gave one free map upgrade with the unit too. Bob8 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Xander Bogaerts Will Get First Taste of Majors and Other Second-Half Predictions for Red Sox (Photos)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 7/17/13
The second half of the Red Sox' season is about one thing: winning the World Series. It's a surprising change considering where most "experts" picked the Red Sox to finish this season. Some saw the Sox improving, but few saw Boston sitting at 19 games above .500 at the All-Star break. Most thought that the AL East was too good, and that the Red Sox were entering into a bridge year. This is a heck of a bridge year, if that's the case. The Red Sox have the best record in the American League, and their overall balance has them looking like legitimate contenders to open up the second half. John Farrell just has to make sure his troops are ready, especially with the Rays winning nine of their last 10 before the break to cut Boston's lead in the AL East to 2 1/2 games. No matter the end result, the second half should be an interesting ride. The first half was extremely eventful, and given the personalities, talent and potential in the Red Sox organization, things should only pick up as we head toward October. So what exactly should we expect to happen in the second half? Well, as the "experts" have proved, making predictions is often a fruitless effort. Let's not let that stop us from tossing out some second-half hypotheses, though. Click here for 10 second-half predictions for the Red Sox >> Have a question for Ricky Doyle?

The Marbury-Rivers Transcription
|02.27.09 at 6:55 pm ET
Selected questions and answers from the Stephon Marbury and Doc Rivers press conference. (Note: the questions are paraphrased and the speaker is Marbury, unless noted).
Q: How long will it take you to be ready physically?
A: I don't how long it's going to take me. I've been training the whole summer until now so I'm ready to play basketball.
Q: What kinds of workouts have you done?
A: Lot of lifting weights. Core balance. Stability. And I shot the ball. Just working on my skills. Continuing to keep my game sharp.
Q: (Directed to Doc Rivers) How long before he's ready?
A (Rivers): We're just going to throw him out there. Minutes will be determined by the rhythm of the team for one because we don't have a lot on there for Steph obviously, and then two, conditioning. It's one thing to play against me in the gym right now and another thing to be on an NBA court.
Q: (At Doc) references PJ Brown who spent the first part of his time with the Celtics on the bench.
A (Doc): It will be more immediate than PJ. One, because we have to with Gabe being suspended today and Tony (Allen) being out. We need bodies. And two, because we have a lot of practice time between games it gives us a chance to do this quicker.
Q: Will he play tonight?
A: (Doc) Yes. If he screws up a play it's because he doesn't know it. So he'll be safe that way. It's impossible for him to mess up a play tonight. One of the things I told Steph on the court is just be free. Just play.
Q: How were you greeted by the players?
A: Everyone was excited, which I was happy about.
Q: How about being a backup to Rondo?
A: I'm happy just to play basketball again, let alone what my role is. Like I said, I'm just excited as a player. Whatever the coach asks me to do is what I'll do.
Q: Feelings on putting on a Celtics jersey?
A: I was lit up. The tradition. I felt it. Thinking about the championships and all the guys that played here just speaks for itself.
Q: Did he look anywhere else?
A: I pretty much had my mind set (on coming to Boston). This is where I wanted to be, because they wanted me here. They wanted me to come here and play basketball and I wanted to be here.
Q: How will this impact Eddie House?
A (Doc): I think it will help Eddie because it will move Eddie off the ball. I think the guy it will benefit the most, and obviously this is not right away. It will take Steph time to learn the system and get in NBA shape. But in the grand scheme of things I think it will make Eddie a better player because Eddie can become a shooter, almost full-time. He can run the floor and come off picks. The point guards will have to guard Eddie. The two-guards will probably guard Steph.
Of all the guys (this will help) it's probably Eddie. And maybe Paul (Pierce) and Ray (Allen) because now we can get them more rest. In my opinion, even though their minutes are down career-wise, their minutes are over the limit that I want to play them. This will give me the opportunity to give them some rest, as well.
Q: What about playing with Kevin Garnett again. Did he think it would ever happen?
A: No, but my mother did. She kept telling me that day would happen. I'm happy about that. Playing with Kevin is going to be a lot of fun. Kevin brings a lot of energy, which I've known since playing with him in Minnesota.
Q: Worried about dealing with shooting guards?
A: It doesn't matter. You still got to play defense.
Q: Do you want to be here next year?
A: If they want me, I'll be here.
(Rivers): You're on next year already? Gosh. We're just trying to get to next week.
Q: Do you have anything to prove?
A: I don't look at it as something to prove. It's just an opportunity to go out and play for a championship team.
Q: (To Rivers) Any concerns?
A (Rivers): No. What's happened before has nothing to do with today and tomorrow. We've always had an open mind with everyone who has come in. We've done pretty well. I'm not concerned about that at all.
Q (to Rivers) about Gabe Pruitt's DUI arrest.
A (Rivers): Obviously we're disappointed as an organization and disappointed in Gabe. He understands the mistake that he made. He's young and you learn from those mistakes. I told him to protect the family name first. Pruitt. Your mother and father earned that name and earned that reputation and you should always protect that. And two, you've got to protect the Celtics name. Fortunately, no one got hurt and it's probably a great learning experience for him.
Q: To Marbury about his reputation.
A: I'm human. I've made mistakes and I've learned from my mistakes. I've just got to keep on pushing on.
Q: What's your impression of Rondo?
A: I like him. He's a really good player. His hands. His hands are amazing. The things he can do with the basketball are amazing.
Q: Did he learn anything from this past season?
A: Definitely. Sitting home watching basketball games and going to basketball games, it was a humbling experience for me. The whole process of going through what I went through this year was a different test for me. Going forward and playing basketball here in Boston is a great way to get (past that).
Q: Another question about his rep.
A: If you know me, that's one thing. If you don't know me you're speaking about me through what someone else tells you.
Q: What he remembers about playing with KG.
A: The excitement that he brought to the game every night. Every day. Playing against him, I believe we always wanted to beat each other. It's competitive.
Q: Did he look at other teams, or international teams?
A: No.
Q: On playing in New York?
A: You never know what's in front of you. Playing in New York was another part of my book. Another chapter.
Q: Anything he's looking to improve on?
A: I'm not looking to improve my game. I'm coming here to help the Celtics win another championship.
Live Blogging the Stephon Marbury Press Conference
|02.27.09 at 5:45 pm ET
We are live from a side room inside the Boston Garden for the much-anticipated and heavily-covered Stephon Marbury introductory press conference. The press gathering is fairly large, almost playoff level for this, which was conveniently timed to make the 6 p.m. local news broadcasts.
We'll bring you the soundbites as they happen because that's the kind of mobile news-gathering organization we are here at WEEI.com.
Interesting question: When was the last time there was a press conference of this size in February for a bench player? Now, obviously, Marbury is no ordinary bench player. In addition to being a former All-Star he needs his own skycap to carry around all his baggage.
The eyes of the NBA world will be on him to see if he can pull it off, which ought to be incentive enough. And here he is.
Marbury is wearing No. 8. Hello Antoine Walker.
He says he's been working out since the summer.
Doc says they're going to throw him out there. They don't have a lot of stuff in for him. Obviously.
Marbury will play tonight. "If he screws up a play," Rivers said. "It's because he doesn't know it."
Q: Are you willing to buy into the Celtics system? A: I'm just happy to play basketball again, let alone what my role is.
Marbury says this is where he wanted to be and he didn't really look at any other teams.
Doc thinks it will help Eddie House because it will move him off the ball.
His mother thought he and KG would play again.
Any concerns about fitting in? Marbury: You just got to watch and wait and see.
Very wise by the Celtics bringing Doc into the press conference with Marbury, by the way. It already makes him feel like a part of the team and Doc is able to deflect any tough questions.
"I'm human. I make mistakes and I've learned from my mistakes," Marbury said.
On this year with the Knicks: "It was a humbling experience for me."
Closing quote:
"I'm coming here to try and help the Celtics win another championship."
Much, much more coming…
Pruitt suspended two games
|02.27.09 at 2:13 pm ET
The Boston Celtics have suspended guard Gabe Pruitt two games for conduct detrimental to the team. Pruitt was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Thursday morning in Los Angeles following the Celtics loss to the LA Clippers. "I recognize that my behavior was inappropriate and accept the consequences of my action as determined by the Celtics,' said Pruitt in a statement issued by the team. Pruitt is averaging 2.3 points and 8.8 minutes per game this season.
Report: Marbury signs with Celtics
|02.27.09 at 2:05 pm ET
Stephon Marbury has signed with the Boston Celtics, according to the Boston Globe. Marc Spears reported Marbury will undergo a physical and is expected to attend a closed practice prior to tonight's game against the Indiana Pacers. It has not been confirmed whether or not Marbury will be in uniform.
Report: Marbury to sign today
|02.27.09 at 8:57 am ET
Stephon Marbury has told Marc Spears of the Boston Globe that he plans on being at the Boston Celtics shootaround this morning once he clears waivers at 10am. The Globe reports he will sign with the Celtics for a prorated veteran minimum $1.3 million. "This is the happiest I've been since being drafted, man," he told the Globe in a telephone interview. "I'm so happy that it doesn't even feel real. It feels, it just feels like, it feels different to finally be able to get the opportunity to go play for a team that's established. Everyone is on the same page. There is one goal, and that's winning a ring, winning the trophy."
Game Preview: Celtics vs. Pacers
|02.27.09 at 1:24 am ET
On Friday the Boston Celtics (46-13) will return to the TD BankNorth Garden to take on the Indiana Pacers (25-35). It has been nearly three weeks since the Celtics played on their home court, and since then a lot has changed:
- February 13-15: Big Three participate in All-Star Weekend
- February 17: Sam Cassell traded to the Sacramento Kings
- February 19 (day): Patrick O'Bryant traded to the Toronto Raptors
- February 19 (night): Kevin Garnett strains right knee; Celtics lose 90-85 to Utah Jazz
- February 22: Rajon Rondo celebrates 23rd birthday with 32 points in 128-108 win over Phoenix Suns
- February 23: Brian Scalabrine suffers cervical strain; Celtics beat Denver Nuggets 114-76
- February: 24: Stephon Marbury is bought out by the New York Knicks; Mikki Moore signs with the Celtics
- February 25: Moore debuts; Paul Pierce dislocates right thumb; Celtics lose 93-91 to Los Angeles Clippers
- February 26: Gabe Pruitt is arrested in LA for suspicion of DUI; Marbury tells New York Times he will sign with Celtics and be in uniform on February 27
The actual game between the Celtics and Pacers is overshadowed by the question of whether or not Marbury will be a Celtic prior to tip off. While the Celtics may make an addition, both teams are shorthanded. Garnett (knee), Tony Allen (thumb), and Brian Scalabrine (neck) are unavailable for the Celtics. Danny Granger (foot) and Mike Dunleavy (knee) will not play for the Pacers. The Celtics are 2-1 since losing Garnett. The Pacers are 3-1 without Granger.
Tip-off is at 7:30 EST.
Cavs Wallace breaks leg
|02.27.09 at 12:37 am ET
Kevin Garnett's injury could have created a window of opportunity for the Cleveland Cavaliers to pull ahead in the Eastern Conference. But now they too are down a starter. On Thursday night forward Ben Wallace broke his right leg during a 19-point loss the Houston Rockets. TNT's David Aldridge reported Wallace will miss 8-10 weeks.
This injury is a blow to the Cavaliers front court. Wallace, 34, is one of the most experienced players on the team. Instead of having his veteran leadership down the stretch, the Cavaliers will have to rely on J.J. Hickson to step up in his rookie season. Wallace was averaging 6.7 rebounds, 3.0 points, and 24.3 minutes per game this season. Hickson is averaging 4.5 points and 2.9 boards in 12.2 minutes per game.
The Celtics will play the Cavaliers next Friday, March 6 in Boston.

Gruff exterior but kind-hearted.
I like to go out to movies, practice martial arts and play video games with friends. My favorite movie is Enter The Dragon. My favorite football team is the Raiders, basketball team is the Lakers and college team is the Hurricanes. I'd like to take a girl to a night out on the town and wine and dine her. I'm looking for a woman with a good personality who can share the same interests as me. Even if you don't share the same interests, hopefully you'd have an open mind. I know I do.

28 year old man | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking women 23-27 within 30 miles
All you can do is your absolute best!
Hello there! So the online dating scene, oh how it is a new world so here it goes. I am sure you have seen how guys are loyal and all of that; however, I promise you that I am a true gentleman but enjoy a strong, independent woman at the same time. I am loyal, funny, confident and not afraid to be open. -- grew up in an amazing family and they mean the world to me, along with my friends and my relationship with God. My church is also my love and want to add that in here. My goal is to eventually end up with someone who can help me grow (and vice versa) and put God number one. When it comes to me and my personality - I am respectful, strong, love to laugh and learn new things. Having grown up in Colorado I am all about the outdoors and what this State has to offer. Hiking, mountain biking, Coors Field and the Rockies (even though the Yankees are my favorite), walks, rooftop bars to watch the sunsets, road trips and snowboarding. I like to try new things and see what life has to offer. I am very passionate about life and love what I do but make time for those I care about. My guitar is my stress relief and love music and cooking. Being in my dream job allows me to enjoy friends and family and beyond grateful for all of the experiences life has thrown my way. Looking for someone whom I can share life with.... Hang out, go to dinner, hot air balloons and take random acts of "awesomeness" - enjoy life. There are also moments where I enjoy watching what is on my TiVo. Hope to hear from you soon!

University of Colorado Denver, Denver, CO
I would say that I like to find unique spots.... going to roof tops to see the sunset with a drink, coffee bars, hiking, mountain biking, my dog and hanging out with him, cooking, music and to learn new things.
Hang out with my friends and family, walk my dog, cook, learn new things, anything related to New York and New Jersey as my Dad's family is from back east.

Cherokee Indian Agency (TN)
NARA M208. This publication includes the records of the agent of Indian Affairs in Tennessee whose duties included preserving or restoring peace, and inducing Indians to cede their lands and move to areas less threatened by white encroachment. The agency distributed money and goods and carried out other provisions of treaties with the Indians. As the Indians were increasingly confined on reservations, the agents became more concerned with educating and "civilizing" them.…More

Paper Chase
Common deletion polymorphisms in the human genome.
Department of Molecular Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, 55 Fruit Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02114, USA.
The locations and properties of common deletion variants in the human genome are largely unknown. We describe a systematic method for using dense SNP genotype data to discover deletions and its application to data from the International HapMap Consortium to characterize and catalogue segregating deletion variants across the human genome. We identified 541 deletion variants (94% novel) ranging from 1 kb to 745 kb in size; 278 of these variants were observed in multiple, unrelated individuals, 120 in the homozygous state. The coding exons of ten expressed genes were found to be commonly deleted, including multiple genes with roles in sex steroid metabolism, olfaction and drug response. These common deletion polymorphisms typically represent ancestral mutations that are in linkage disequilibrium with nearby SNPs, meaning that their association to disease can often be evaluated in the course of SNP-based whole-genome association studies.

Active time: 10 min Start to finish: 1 1/4 hr (plus 2 days for marinating)
YIELD: Makes 6 cups
Scrub loofah and peel only the ridges, then cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Toss loofah with kosher salt in a bowl, then cover with ice and let stand 2 hours. Drain and remove any unmelted ice.
Bring vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric to a boil in a 1-quart nonreactive saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add loofah and onion, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
Transfer pickles with liquid to a 1-quart heatproof glass or ceramic bowl and cool to room temperature. Chill, covered, at least 2 days (for flavors to develop) and up to 1 month.
Cooks' note: We don't recommend processing these pickles. Additional heating gives the loofah a mushy texture.

In celebration of Candice Swanepoel's birthday this weekend, let's take a moment to look back at her many spectacular accomplishments...»
Though we haven't reviewed the mag in its entirety, the outlook is good for the Style Guy's first fully revamped issue of *Interview* (September), which is about to hit newsstands. We should have known Ye Olde O'Brien would make things a lot more interesting.
In lieu of the endless fawning profiles of Elton John that cluttered up the pages under the previous regime, we now have full frontal nudes of Kate Moss. The snap here, by fashion photog duo Mert and Marcus, accompanies an interview penned by—you guessed it—Glenn O'Brien.
Because what's the good of being editor if you can't grab all the plum assignments for yourself?
The latest news from the front regarding the Brad and Angelina of the international set has it that they may have already tied the knot. French daily *L'Est Republicain* is quoting a reliable source close to someone who claims to have attended our boy Nic's secret nuptials last week at the Elysée palace. Apparently he sealed the deal with supermodel Carla Bruni after presenting her with a $30,000 white gold Dior ring.
Sarkozy's office has issued a terse "no comment"»
Our boy Nic sure is one fast mover. But then we guess when you're president of France there's no time to fuck around. Just two short weeks after we first told you that the Nicster was shacking up with supermodel Carla Bruni, one of the world's most beautiful women and a talented singer to boot, weekly paper *Le Journal De Dimanche* is reporting that the couple plans to marry early next month.
More on the Nicster and his soon-to-be better half »
Kempt Kudos to our boy Nicolas Sarkozy, the fashion-savvy President of France who one-upped George Bush during a black-tie affair at the White House last month.
Sarkozy, who split from his wife a while back, was spotted out on the town with supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni (pictured) the other night in Paris—thereby
proving the ZZ Top coinage (and Sartorial Brotherhood credo) "Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man."

Customer Reviews of Fantasea Nano Spotter - LED - AAA - Yellow
Quirky and fun3/10/2011
I bought this because it was a good price and seemed like it would be fun to send to camp with my kids as their flashlight. It's kind of like a glow stick with batteries. It can be hard to get the colored disk in the head and get the head back on, not sure I'd send all the color disks to camp, probably wouldn't return home. It would also be good to set up as an emergency light by a stranded car or when walking a dog at dusk.

Pretty good solo cookset
Not bad! The cookset works about perfectly for one person in the summer months. I prefer a 1.2L + in the winter for numerous reasons. I like the durability of this cookset, it's really solid and still doesn't weigh much. A jetboil 100g canister fits inside the pot along with the stove, an optimus ti folding spork, lighter, and a rag!
The stove- Not bad. Light, durable, simple and HOT. My only complaint is the burner control is super touchy and doesn't simmer very well.

Duffy's closing Port St. Lucie's Cashmere Corners restaurant
PORT ST. LUCIE — Duffy's is closing its restaurant at Cashmere Corners after Thursday night, when its 10-year lease on the location expires.
Jason Emmett, senior vice president and son of Duffy's owner Paul Emmett, said the Cashmere Corners restaurant, 790 S.W. St. Lucie West Blvd., is too close to the chain's other Port St. Lucie restaurant. Duffy's Superplay store is less than 2 miles away at 1608 Courtyard Circle.
"It wasn't sustainable," Emmett said, adding Duffy's usually does not open a restaurant within 5 miles of another Duffy's. "It was a tough call, but we feel it's in our best interests to consolidate our operations in Port St. Lucie at the Superplay location."
All of the 35 to 40 employees at the Duffy's at Cashmere Corners have been offered jobs at other Duffy's locations, Emmett said, adding most of them move to the slightly larger restaurant attached to the bowling alley at Superplay.
With the closing of the Cashmere Corners store, Duffy's will have 22 locations, though Emmett said they have signed leases to open two more before the end of this year: one in Broward County and the other in Miami-Dade County.
The closing of Duffy's is another blow to the viability of the 16-year-old Cashmere Corners, owned by Equity One, a New York-based property management group.
Until May 2012, Cashmere Corners had an Albertson's as its anchor covering about two-thirds of its 89,234 square feet. The 6,800-square-foot Duffy's was the second-largest space in the center where a Treasure Coast Hospice Thrift store and a handful of other small shops remain.
Emmett said the drop in traffic at Cashmere Corners since the Albertson's closed did not help, but was not the deciding factor in the decision to close the restaurant.

I would love a good sink for my new space I'm building.

You can take one and I'll take the other. I don't think I can have any prints ready for next week.

Là-Bas (English: Down There or The Damned) is a novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans, first published in 1891. It is probably Huysmans' most famous work after À rebours. Là-Bas deals with the subject of Satanism in contemporary France and the novel stirred a certain amount of controversy on its first appearance. It is the first of Huysmans' books to feature the character Durtal, a thinly disguised portrait of the author himself, who would be the protagonist of all Huysmans' subsequent novels: En route, La cathédrale and L'oblat.
Là-Bas was first published in serial form by the newspaper L'Écho de Paris, with the first installment appearing on February 15, 1891. It came out in book form in April of the same year; the publisher was Tresse et Stock. Many of L'Écho de Paris' more conservative readers were shocked by the subject matter and urged the editor to halt the serialisation, but he ignored them. Sale of the book was prohibited from French railway stations.
The plot of Là-Bas concerns the novelist Durtal, who is disgusted at the emptiness and vulgarity of the modern world. He seeks relief by turning to the study of the Middle Ages and begins to research the life of the notorious 15th-century child-murderer Gilles de Rais. Through his contacts in Paris (notably Dr. Johannes, modeled after Joseph-Antoine Boullan), Durtal finds out that Satanism is not simply a thing of the past but alive in modern France. He embarks on an investigation of the occult underworld with the help of his lover Madame Chantelouve. The novel culminates with a description of a black mass. This novel is one of the key texts of the Decadent movement of the 1890s and contains satanists, occultists, incubi (male demons), succubi (female demons) and intellectuals.

J.-K. Huysmans's gaudy, shocking, and largely autobiographical novel, The Damned (Là-Bas) was quickly condemned and just as quickly achieved cult status. It follows Durtal, a shy, censorious man, who is writing a biography of Gilles de Rais, the fifteenth-century nobleman, child-murderer, and supposed model for "Bluebeard." Bored and disgusted by the vulgarity of everyday life, Durtal seeks spiritual solace by immersing himself in another age. But when he meets the exquisitely evil Madame Chantelouve, he is drawn inextricably into the twilight world of black magic and erotic devilry in fin-de-siècle Paris.
