BGA Extra: Texans at Jets
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible. For the purposes of BGA Extra (but not BGA, since that is too early in the week), I have also reviewed the coaches film, which was available for every play (whereas last year, it was only available for big plays). Statistics from PFF which are not available to subscribers were used in the completion of this article and we thank them for providing us with exclusive access to these.
Welcome to BGA Extra, where I draw a line under the previous weekend's game by responding to your questions from BGA during the week. After the jump, I respond to your questions about Monday night's game against the Texans. If you would like your questions answered in future, remember to read my BGA game breakdowns every Monday and leave your question in the comments section.
How much help are they leaving back to help out the offensive line on pass plays? How aggressive was Rex with his blitzing? It seems like he doesnt blitz nearly as much as he used to. I kinda liked seeing them send the house once in a while but not too much of course they did get burned sometimes.
They are, as expected, giving a lot more help by leaving guys in and it's working. While you could say it gives Sanchez fewer options in the passing game, wasn't there talk that they were going to simplify the number of available reads for him anyway? The numbers – on Monday, 32 extra blockers stayed in on 35 dropbacks, so almost one per play on average. Under Schottenheimer, less than one every two snaps was the norm. These numbers don't even account for when a player throws a chip block and then runs a route, which happens a lot more under Sparano.
This was not an aggressive blitzing game by Ryan at all. They blitzed eight times, compared with 21 for Houston. Average pass rushers sent: Less than 4.2 per play. In some of his more aggressive games, this would be around five.
Why is every front 7 we play against able to stop our running game, tip our passes, and put a lot more pressure on our QB?
It may seem like that, but the Jets have just faced arguably the three best defenses in the NFL over the last four weeks. It therefore shouldn't be like that every week, even if the offensive line doesn't improve as it starts to gel, which it is showing signs of doing. The pressure from the Texans (13 total pressures) this week was basically the same as what they generate every week on average (14.0). Same with the Steelers (13/12.4) and the 49ers (13/12.3).
Help me to understand how the Jets are going to beat these so called weaker teams. They in fact are a weaker team to tell the truth. Players keep going down with injuries, they seemly never get a lucky break, the defense can't stop the run or get to the Qb. What is the recipe for success? They easily could be 1-4 right now, do moral victories get you into the playoffs? Sure they did well in the second half but the jets generally get off to slow starts as a team who or what is to blame?
The Jets – with a couple of key players out – nearly beat the Texans on Monday. Unless that was the final death throes of a team that's about to collapse, or unless they continue losing key players at the same rate, they can play better than that and they will be facing teams not as good as the Texans pretty much the rest of the way. Wouldn't you say that's going to mean they're likely to be competitive every week?
Sure, they'll probably blow some winnable games because of the holes in their roster, but if they can hang with the Texans while missing a couple of guys, they should be able to beat some lesser teams when they're at "full" strength.
You nailed the recipe for success already: They need to get healthy, have some luck and start to play better up front. As for the slow starts, it's been on the defensive side of the ball this year. Offensively they have scored first quarter touchdowns in three of the first five games – a much better rate than last year – and, as I noted in BGA, Sanchez's first quarter numbers are excellent (64.5% and 98.0 rating).
You stated: "These were some well-designed plays from the league's best running team, but the Jets did manage to make an adjustment in the second half." Exactly what adjustments did they make?
I was speaking more in general teams – like, guys were getting to the edge quicker to force runs back inside, or holding their ground a lot better. However, two coaching changes they seemed to make were to drop Pace off the line slightly, so that he had more chance of getting outside to keep contain and also to use some heavy three DB sets against Houston's run personnel packages.
You stated: "Quinton Coples [is] someone else who isn't being helped by the injuries in the front seven." Would you please explain HOW Coples play isn't being helped by the injuries to the front seven? From your write-up it sounds like Coples was not being doubled but was holding his own. I'm not sure how not being doubled means he isn't being helped.
While Coples wasn't being doubled, the Texans often had a spare man (or more than one) in pass protection. While the spare man usually ended up picking up Wilkerson, Coples would have benefited a lot more from the nose tackle getting a push to collapse the pocket or from someone providing a threat off the edge that he could run a loop stunt behind. If Po'uha was healthy, they'd have to double team him and Wilkerson a lot of the time, which would create more room for him to go to work. Also, he could get some cleanup sacks when other players create pressure to flush a quarterback his way or make plays in the running game a lot easier if everyone else is standing their ground.

How come Scott didn't get a pressure when he was chasing Schaub out of the pocket?
Scott did this a couple of times and while it does represent a positive contribution, it wouldn't be counted as a pressure unless he (a) actually got to the quarterback so that he was under pressure as he threw or (b) flushed the quarterback out of the pocket himself by beating his man. On these instances, Schaub was unable to find anyone downfield and just rolled out to keep the play alive for a bit longer rather than being pressured into doing so directly. There are sometimes good (and bad) plays in pass protection which don't give rise to a pressure statistic (another example is when someone gets beat but the ball is thrown or someone else makes the sack before they get there) and I do mention these when relevant.
In BGA extra can you discuss the possibility that Sanchez's throwing shoulder may be hurt? I seem to remember at the end of last season or the beginning of preseason. Sanchez said his shoulder was hurt. During the second or third preseason game they showed Sanchez on the sideline with his shoulder wrapped. I've said it on here before, but noone has acknowledged it. Is this a possibility for the accuracy issues this year?
I had a mini-rant about this in the comments earlier this week. EVERY season, Sanchez hits a slump and everyone seems to ask this question. It's a good question, because if the injury is the only reason he's been inaccurate then that suggests that a healthy Sanchez is capable of much better. HOWEVER, I grow tired of answering this question every year because even if the injury is to blame, if he's going to have an injury excuse every year, then when is he actually going to be healthy? Yes, it could be hurt and that could be the only thing holding him back, but should the Jets really be paying him $10m a year when history tells us that he will probably get hurt every year and continue to play like this … or – if the injury isn't a viable excuse – play like this anyway?
If McElroy was to start and the Jets got rid of Tebow and Sanchez then how much money would that free up for Tannenbaum to go grocery shopping? That would be enough money to go out and get another good lineman, running back, and receiver correct?
Sure, in theory. They'd need to trade Sanchez to get off the hook for his 2013 salary (or wait until after next year to make this move) for this to be viable. There's no guarantee that McElroy will be as good as Sanchez (and unless things really go south, we probably won't get enough of a look at him to determine whether that's even a remote possibility), but I do agree that if Sanchez plays like this all year, they could easily get someone cheaper to replicate his performance and improve the team elsewhere, if that's the route they decided to go down.
Droseatwork (via e-mail)•
Have you noticed how far off the line Ellis plays? He's a solid yard off the ball. Pouha is a lot closer to the ball. Do you think this is why Ellis is pushed off the ball so much?
I have noticed this at times, but it looks like this is part of the way they line up. They usually have one of the two defensive tackles just off the line and it depends which one is shading a lineman and which one is directly opposite. If you look back over footage from earlier in the year, you'll notice DeVito doing the same thing. As for Ellis getting pushed off the ball, it hasn't happened *that* much and during this week's game he made a few decent plays from that slightly-back-off-the-line position, so I don't think that prevents him from being effective.
Private Jet•
Worst QB evah?
How about this guy?
By the way, if you do a google image search for "Worst QB ever" you get three Tebows, a Grossman, a Leaf and a Namath.
Do you believe Tebow should get a series to try and kickstart the running game? I just feel we have better personnel than the weapons he had in Denver and refuse to believe we cant run.
I agree with you – and I was a guy that used to say BRAD SMITH should get a whole series. However, the downside is apparent, when Sanchez gets booed back onto the field every time he goes out there after Tebow makes a play. With his apparently fragile psyche at the moment, that could be risky. Of course, if they stick with Tebow for the whole drive and commit to that, then they needn't worry about Sanchez re-entering.
What will it take for Mark Sanchez to get benched? Outside of week one tell me the last time he had a good game, and not a good game in terms of what a good game by Sanchez standards is, I mean a game where you can say he was on his game and he looked like the better QB on the field that day?
He was great in the 2008 Rose Bowl!
I don't think they'll bench him outright any time soon, but I could see them phasing Tebow in gradually (which maybe was the plan all along). However, I don't really expect Tebow to play well enough to win the job outright either.
It looked to me like the tipped pass/INT at the end of the 1st half was going to be behind Kerley anyway – what do you think? And WTF is with the team's pathetic use of Tebow? 4th and inches – even though they converted it, think it might have a better chance with Tebow running the sneak? I hope they're holding back some Tebow plays for later in the season. The only way I see Tebow starting is if Sanchez gets hurt.
Tebow isn't that comfortable under center, but I still think the "shotgun sneak" is a high percentage play. Maybe that's one of the ones they're holding back. As for the throw to Kerley, maybe it was slightly behind him, but it still would have been a touchdown, barring a bad drop from Kerley. Obviously he couldn't lead the receiver any more than he did, because Watt already got a fingertip to the ball, so it would have been even closer to him.
Disgruntled Jets Fan•
You've always been pretty diplomatic, but it sounds like you've run out of patience with Mark. What do you think is a reasonable plan at QB going forward?
Last year, I often tried to suggest that Sanchez was holding the offense back and it wasn't a popular point of view. Having said that, I haven't totally lost patience with him. I still think he should start and that he can play better. He obviously HAS to play better and I think the coaching staff could do a better job of putting him in a position to succeed. I didn't particularly like the decision to extend him, although I can see why they did it – to show faith in him and build up his confidence, while also perhaps encouraging him to work as hard as ever. Maybe the Tebow trade undid a lot of that, or maybe it was doomed not to work out anyway. I've seen worse 25-year old quarterbacks go on to become good players, so all is not lost for Sanchez. However, with the crowd's patience waning and New York's cutthroat attitude towards its franchise players, time is definitely running out for him.
What are the stats on Sanchez's passes being batted down before this game? How does it compare with any other short QB, let's say Brees.
Since you wrote this question, you'll no doubt have seen Bassett's post about tipped passes that contained the numbers. Essentially, he had 15 in 2010 (first in the league) and 15 in 2011 (third), so clearly it is an issue for him. However, he only had five in 2009 and this year, he only had one entering the Texans game (where he had four more). Now, you'll probably say there's no way that he only had one entering this week and that he had way more than four on Monday. However, it's important to note that the numbers used there are "Batted Passes" from PFF. Batted passes occur when you rush the passer. If you drop into coverage and deflect a pass, as JJ Watt did a couple of times, that's a pass defensed and gets grouped with downfield pass breakups rather than classified with the rest of the passes knocked down at the line.
Essentially, what I'm saying is that the numbers are pretty bad, but the reality is perhaps even worse. The low number in 2009 is likely because they rolled him out a lot more that year. I'd suggest that's something they should do with him more often this year too.
Finally, you asked for a comparison with Brees. Bearing in mind the limitations of the stat mentioned above, he was 3rd in 2008, 5th in 2009, 11th in 2010 and 22nd in 2011. That shows a clear improvement year on year. Having said that, he leads the league with seven so far this year!
It is really all coming into focus this year. Mark Sanchez is the #1 problem on this team. They do have a number of pretty big issues to deal with, but over last season and so far this year, I think it is fair to say that Sanchez was responsible for at least 4 losses. In other words, with any other average NFL QB, there would have likely been a different outcome in these games. Even during his first 2 years, he caused a few losses, but he was growing and we all saw the progression. Last year and this year have been really scary. Put together his regression, Sparano's arrival, and Tebow's arrival…makes for a really lethal combination. At this point do you see any realistic way for Sanchez to turn it around?
Sure. He's making a lot of boneheaded mistakes and struggling to get into a good rhythm. If he cuts out the boneheaded mistakes and gets into a better rhythm, he'll play better. That will help his confidence and will also force defenses to drop back, perhaps opening up room for the running game, which will make his play-action fakes more effective, which will… Well, you get the idea. Keller and Hill's return, plus more in-synch play from the run blockers and facing some weaker opponents will all help his confidence too.
Could you break down the throw to Cro that has caused so much consternation this week. I would like to know where Cro was in relation to the CB when Sanchez started to throw the ball. I got the impression watching the TV replay that Cro had not gotten the separation yet when Sanchez started his throw so he may have been anticipating the CB being tight to Cro with inside leverage hence the throw was more of an attempt at a back shoulder fade, sort of like the play against the Colts in the playoffs to Edwards.
Did it? I hadn't noticed.
Sanchez released the pass as Cromartie drew even with Joseph, but it should have been apparent to Sanchez that Cromartie was moving at full speed and Joseph had been frozen by his pump fake. Rewatching the footage, it's brutally apparent that Cromartie had to slow down to catch the ball and it was probably underthrown by a good 10-15 yards. Being as objective as I possibly can, maybe he underestimated Cromartie's speed (which was really impressive on that play).
Looks like BGA will be back with a scouting report on the new DT Daniel Muir, hopefully on Friday. Check back here then.
Melo keeps posting on social media that this is a "BullySeason" and back to the basics, etc.
I think he has a chip on his shoulder, and will come out strong this season.
I predict a good year, which could spell good things for the Knicks. Certainly the team as a whole is FAR better than last season's...I'm hoping the chemistry works and we see LOTS of improvement, possibly even playoffs.
Does our team look like a team that can beat those list din the top 8? Id say no. If by Christmas if this team isn't winning Melo asks for a trade and that will be that .
Its possible we all get surprised because anything is possible . That would mean
Grant jumps solidly into the NBA . Kristaps gets 20 mins and has an immediate impact.
Lopez , Affalo and Oquinn actually produce the way we hope they will. Galloway has a break out 2nd year , Sasha V fits in and all in all this NY team has guts , soul and chemistry to be a big surprise to all. Oh and Melo likes what he see's and leads the charge.
@frankieboy I am predicting Bucks at the 4 or 5 slot here. Indy lower, possibly even fighting for that 8th spot with the Knicks.
You're right though, unlikely the Knicks are better than about 8 teams this season.
we will see at trade deadline. depends how season progresses.
Dolan must be seething.
I think this is a solid opinion from Walt's perspective on the situation. He has points..basically saying what we all think.
We will see in Training camp what Melo really thinks. I just hope he comes in ready mentally and physically to go to war and if the troops arent ready so be it but only know once games start. I dont want him coming in with a negative look on the situation because it will only get worse.
If he comes in and balls out and says ok i think its time u trade me..i'll respect it. As much as I want us to win and have him here..we all gotta know this process isn't gonna be fast nor easy.
Problem we always had that in this situation...we would trade the 4th pick for a overpaid vet to put a bandaid instead of trully building a squad.
At the same time...we gotta give this team a chance to see what they can do. Ive seen a less talented team win 54 games and a more talented team win 23. Its all about executing/health/knowing roles and playing as a team along with Melo playing in that concept.
Clyde is just employing basic logic, but we really need to hear from Melo before drawing any conclusions about his feelings concerning the team. Time will tell.
@1harris1 Actually, the last person I want to hear from is Melo with his wishy-washy double speak. We'll know from his actions on the court if he's bought into this team and its PHILosphy or not.

These Aikman figures are limited to 3,000 pieces and will sell for $15 at the event. Daily limits will be set to try and preserve some inventory through the weekend and afford as many Cowboys fans and dedicated collectors the chance to buy the exclusive Troy Aikman figure.
We'll be set up in the tents outside the Hall of Fame on August 4-6 at the following times:
Friday, August 4: 9am - 5pm
Saturday, August 5: 9am - 5pm
Sunday, August 6: 9am - 7:30pm
The tents are located adjacent to the front of the Hall of Fame Museum. Limits on the Troy Aikman figure will be one per person initially but may be increased as the weekend goes on. Check the sports message board on spawn.com for limit updates.
Be sure and stop by and say hello!

Mathematica looks a bit fuzzy on the retina screen, how can I increase the resolution?
Here another screenshot showing a direct comparison between the browser and Mathematica
Another option is the free app Retinizer, which I used for a while with Mathematica 8. It cleaned up the text, but I found caused visual glitches with the documentation and added some instability throughout. That said, it made the text look beautiful which helped the eyes when reading a lot of code.
You can turn it on and off, and it works on other applications. Worth a try, with the pros and cons in mind.
We expect Retina displays to be supported in the next major release of Mathematica.
If you have a Mac with a Retina display and are interested in testing out this feature in a prerelease version of Mathematica, please contact us via email at:
Be sure to include your full name, your wolframid, your license number and refer to this post about Retina display support.
Here's how to do it for more recent versions of Mathematica (specifically, 9.0.1):
This answer is complementary to Ian's. Retinizer appears to work very well with Mathematica 9. It increases even the resolution of
To get a prettier view of a
Here's an example from the docs, processed like this:
The situation as far as I can guess (that's the operative word) is this: In order to supports Retina's high dpi, one has to compile the application using the Cocoa framework which has for long been the default application framework on Mac OS X anyway. Unfortunately, I don't think Mathematica does that. It uses the legacy Carbon framework. So in order to support Retina, they will probably have to rewrite a whole lot of front-end code.
By the way, this isn't just a display issue. The resolution of screen shots from Mathematica is also wrong. So if I paste a screen shot into
You can use one of the resolution setting utilities like switchResX to change the mode to 2880x1800. Then set the magnification in Mathematica to 200%. It works, but the menu bar is very small. Probably more trouble than it is worth.
Retinizer works, but beware that complex 2d graphics cause the rotating beachball to appear, and Mathematica might hang for quite some time.
Retinizer is the only option to solve this, as in programming_historian answer. I just wanted to add that for version 18.104.22.168 of Mathematica the only way to "retinize" is to use Retinizer's "global mode": launch Retinizer and pres Alt-Cmd-G. Retinizing by dropping Mathematica icon on Retinizer doesn't work for 188.8.131.52.

The real winners were the members of TeenCentral.Net, the anonymous, free website offered by KidsPeace to teens around the world where they can log on and work out their problems and concerns with advice from Master's and PhD level counselors. The site also gives teen members a safe place to add comments to other teens' posts, which do not go live until they are checked by counselors, learn about celebrities who may have experienced similar issues while growing up, read news that is relevant to them and visit pages that provide honest information about weight disorders, domestic abuse and smoking.
KidsPeace would like to thank Verizon for sponsoring the tournament, as well as the celebrities from Channel 69 News, B104 and WLEV 100.7 radio stations. We would also like to thank Susan Corbett, wife of the candidate for Attorney General Tom Corbett, for attending the tournament and touring KidsPeace facilities. The Corbetts are big fans of TeenCentral.Net, and Mr. Corbett is focusing on Internet safety for kids, which TeenCentral.Net certainly represents.
The tournament ran very smoothly and more than 4,000 people visited our campus that weekend and enjoyed the beauty of our facilities and the feeling of community that prevailed during the games. KidsPeace would like to thank all of the associate volunteers who helped with setup, helping visitors and cleanup after the games. We would also like to thank the many kids from our programs who did an amazing job helping visitors and participating in all aspects of the weekend.
KidsPeace received very positive feedback from coaches and attendees on the way the tournament was run and how well they were treated by everyone from KidsPeace. Next year's tournament will be held on August 20-21, and we hope to attract an even larger turnout for our 14th Invitational.
KidsPeace Foster Care associates and capitol area tastemakers will be gathering in Laurel, MD, on Thursday,
Sept. 23, to help local children in need. A special fundraiser and free
wine-tasting at Corridor Fine Wine in Laurel will benefit hundreds of
Washington and Maryland children in foster care and adoption programs run by
the national children's charity KidsPeace.
public is invited between 6 and 9 p.m. to enjoy the evening's "Around the
World Wine Tasting," featuring upscale
wines and champagnes from five countries.
The tasting is free, and 30 percent of all wine sales generated that night, as well as all silent auction proceeds
will be donated to KidsPeace.
"This event is for
people with a thirst, not just for the finer things in life, but for helping
children, many of whom don't have even the basics such as a home and a loving
adult to guide their way," said Steve Faith, Vice President of Wine Operations
for Corridor Fine Wine.
"It's not every
day you get to take a trip around the globe," according to Diane Sancilio, KidsPeace Manager
of Foster Care and Community Programs. "And at the same time do a world of good
to benefit our children."
Save the date and plan to attend to feel good while doing some good and benefit hundreds of
children in the Baltimore and Washington areas. The event is on September 23
from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at 3321 Corridor
Marketplace, Laurel, MD 20724. For directions, call 301-617-8507.
MusikFest is a 10-day celebration of the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania, and a wonderful opportunity to hear the music of local and national bands in an easy-going, festival atmosphere. KidsPeace was delighted to be part of this year's Musikfest with a booth that was in a very visible location near the entrance to the children's area, Banana Island, on Saturday, August 14. From 10:00 a.m. until 11:30 p.m., KidsPeace associates volunteered their time to help out at the booth to greet the hundreds of people who stopped by share information about our organization.
KidsPeace set up a karaoke machine that allowed children and teens to express themselves by singing for the crowds. As evening turned to night, more teens and even a few adults came to the booth to stretch their vocal chords. The booth contained many fun giveaways for the kids and adults that sported the KidsPeace and TeenCentral.Net logos. Volunteers also gave away brochures and information about KidsPeace, TeenCentral.Net and Foster Care.
KidsPeace raffled off two beautiful skateboards designed specifically for the event by the very talented Shawn Parker, Manager of Creative Services. One carried the KidsPeace colors and logo, while the other contained artwork that appears on TeenCentral.Net, the anonymous website that KidsPeace offers to teens seeking professional advice regarding their issues and problems. The raffle raised nearly $200 for KidsPeace and TeenCentral.Net.
A dozen KidsPeace and TeenCentral.Net associates from all parts of the organization participated in greeting visitors and talking about their work at the nonprofit organization that has been serving Lehigh Valley since 1882. The best part of the event for KidsPeace associates was thoughtfulness of kids and adults who stopped by to relate how KidsPeace had helped them and their families. Among them, one father stopped to say that KidsPeace had "saved his son's life," a grandmother expressed tearful thanks for turning her granddaughter's life around, and a courageous young man who told volunteers personally how KidsPeace had helped him.
KidsPeace continues to reach out to the community to inform families about how the charity can help children and young adults of all ages and from any background. TeenCentral.Net visits community events, schools, libraries, tv and radio shows and anyplace where they can get the word out to teens about how the site can help them, educate them and give them a place to safely communicate with other teens and Doctor's and Master's level counselors.

KidsPeace operates Foster
Care and Community Programs offices across the country. While referral agencies
attempt to achieve permanency for these children through placement with other
family members, they still have many children to place in treatment foster
homes with highly trained families like those recruited and trained by
With shrinking tax revenues
and diminishing funds to take care of the needs of foster children in care,
KidsPeace associates often feel frustration with having sufficient families to
meet needs of referred children. Program Manager Jennifer Brown of the
KidsPeace Merrillville, IN, FCCP office has decided to be innovative in
motivating and encouraging her eight-person team of associates.
Jennifer has created two
award programs that she bestows on her dedicated staff members: the Pit Bull
Award and the Crusader Award. These recognitions encourage associates to fight
their daily battles fearlessly, and to be strong advocates for the children in
the Foster Care program.
"People who work with me
have always characterized me as a pit bull because I fight hard and never give
up on getting as much assistance for our children as possible," Jennifer said.
"This gave me the idea for the Pit Bull award, which is presented to an
associate weekly." The initial award is a Pit Bull pin with the associate's
name on it, and subsequent awards include adding dog bones to the pin, a dog
bone bracelet and a dog bone tiara.
The Crusader Award includes
a helmet, sword, breastplate and shield and has been given only once so far to
Jen Gaskill for sticking with it and winning the battle for a particularly
difficult case. The other associates are now vying for the honor of taking the
Crusader gear from Jen and claiming it as their own.
"I believe that this is a
very positive incentive that has everyone excited about our 'Save a Kid
Challenge' campaign that is both fun and empowering," Jennifer said. She has
gone to the community for prizes, and businesses have donated manicures and
haircuts, with more to come.
This was Jennifer's plan to
build resiliency among the associates who deal with frequent policy changes
that send children home too soon only to see them back in crisis and in need of
another foster home. Congratulations to Jennifer for being innovative and
encouraging to the associates in her office.

ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) - Kid Rock hasn't been shy about supporting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and running mate Paul Ryan, even if it costs him some fans.
The made-in-Michigan rock musician introduced Ryan during a rally Monday night in the Detroit suburb of Rochester.
The rapper, born Robert Ritchie, told the raucous crowd gathered at Oakland University that he believes "you have to stand for something" even if it may alienate a few fans.
Rock added that it was OK to disagree, particularly in a music business that he says "leans very left."
He quieted the crowd a bit when he shared his pride over the election of Barack Obama as the first black president. But he quickly added he was sorry Obama "didn't do a better job."

Johnson Scholarship Foundation Business Outreach
In January 2011, the Center for American Indian Economic Development (CAIED) with funds from Johnson Scholarship Foundation kicked off the Bylas Incubator/San Carlos Apache Entrepreneurship 11 month Training Program. The program intends to provide eleven workshops and eleven days of business coaching to an average of 15 participants. Goals included having a minimum of 60% of their workshop participants attend and complete the training. Three attendees will open a business within the incubator and document positive growth. An additional three businesses outside of the incubator will open and document positive growth. Sixty percent of the participants in the trainings will receive business coaching and 10% of the participants will receive approval of their loan application. CAIED expectations were greatly underestimated. More than 80 people attended their first workshop.
The program will run on the second Tuesday of every month until November 2011 and graduation day.

A two-car accident on Deer Ridge Road Friday injured four people, with at least one being air-lifted to an area hospital. The accident happened at 3:55 p.m., two-tenths of a mile from Double Cabin Road in the Mitchell's Crossroads section of Carroll County.
A 2008 Hummer driven by Kandice Wagoner of Deer Ridge Road crossed the center line and collided head-on with a 2003 Chevrolet Trail Blazer being driven by Sylvia Taylor of Double Cabin Road, Virginia State Police Trooper J.D. Delp wrote in the accident report. In all, four people were injured in the accident.
Wagoner was charged with driving under the influence of drugs by Delp.
An accident Sunday in Laurel Fork resulted in two people being transferred to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
According to State Trooper Shon Phillips, a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox driven by Janice Green of Laurel Fork Road, traveling on Laurel Fork Road, pulled out in front of a 1997 Ford Taurus Wagon being driven by Amber Bobbitt of Meadows of Dan, which was traveling west on U.S. 58.
Bobbitt suffered two broken ankles and a 15-year-old minor passenger suffered a broken leg in the accident, Phillips said. Both were taken to Twin County Regional Hospital and later transferred to Baptist. Bobbitt's husband, Justin, received minor injuries, and two other passengers, both children, were unhurt.
Green had to be cut out of her vehicle, which ended up on top of Bobbitt's vehicle. She was transported to Twin County and later released.
Green was charged with failing to yield the right of way by State Trooper Shon Phillips.

Thursday, April 11, 2013
Dorchester Two art teacher Daniel L. Bryant spoke to the CSU Future Teacher's Society on Wednesday, April 3, 2013. He currently works at both Joe Pye and Oakbrook Elementary Schools as an art teacher.
Bryant shared the inspiration behind his popular Karate Dawgs cartoons, which he began to develop as a way to teach his students moral values. The students help write the stories and voice the characters for the cartoons. The FTS group enjoyed seeing a portion of a Karate Dawgs video on bullying.
An additional cartoon idea entitled Boys of Valor is also in production. It is based on Bryant's brothers and how they will tackle life's obstacles. Moral issues will also be a focus of these cartoons. Bryant said, "It is important for me to connect my students to the real world. That is why I am doing this."
Bryant and his students' work is available over the internet through a variety of sources. These include the following: the Christian Television Network, CTN Film database, Discovery Network, YouTube, and Airboom. He currently has a five-year contract with Bridgestone Multimedia Group. The cartoons are being shown in Ghana, Mexico and other places around the world.
Bryant is a 2005 graduate of Charleston Southern University. Although not a traditional teacher education program graduate, he did earn a degree in youth ministry. After graduating he began teaching at a small private school. He next worked as a teacher's aide as he earned his teaching credential though the South Carolina PACE program. His work is inspiring and will certainly help hundreds of children along the way. FTS members enjoyed seeing a creative way to see biblical moral values used in the media to teach life lessons.

I stood in front of a fridge packed full like a kid's closet. A couple of times I opened the door and a bottle of sparkling cider, wine or a boursin would fall out and hit me in the shin. I cursed this fridge, full of leftovers from Thanksgiving. Pies, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, casserole, vegetables, strudels, and a hundred different types of cheese. I couldn't find anything, I couldn't put anything new in there and damnit, I was sick of the same leftovers and I wasn't going to eat it anymore!
So I decided to make a dish out of my leftovers that didn't taste like giving thanks. As someone who doesn't eat turkey, google searches for leftovers were a wash, so I had to get creative.
I decided on soup. And o.m.g. I'm glad I did. It was delicious…thankfully.
Thanksgiving Leftovers Soup
No recipe, but here's what I did. I heated some frozen celery leaves I had saved from a stalk a few weeks ago with "no-chicken" broth in a pot and added some Sunny Paris seasoning from Penzey's and let that heat up. Tossed in some rustic truffled mashed potatoes (chunky, with skins) and some cheesy corn casserole. Added black pepper, crushed red pepper and salt. And boom! Soup!
We had this soup as a side last night with a vegetarian Reuben and it was amazing. What a hearty, winter meal!

Over 500K uncounted ballots remain in Arizona
Over 500,000 early and provisional ballots are still uncounted in Arizona, Sec. of State Ken Bennett said in a release.
Of the 524,633 ballots remaining, 219,703 early ballots and 120,000 provisional ballots are from Maricopa County.
Some groups have become frustrated by the process and have questioned why the ballots have taken so long to be counted, especially given several neck-and-neck races.
"In all candor, I think they're very focused on one of the countywide races here in Maricopa County," said Bennett. "They want to make sure all the ballots are counted as soon as they can and that's the same goal we have."
Bennett said the process to count all the ballots could take up to 12 days to complete.
The state received about 5 percent of its votes from provisional ballots in 2012, the same amount as it did in 2008 and that has had no effect on the process.
"We'll count all the ballots as quickly as we can but the focus is going to be accuracy," said Bennett.
A state canvass to certify election results is scheduled for Dec. 3.

I wrote about the book in my essay about King's interactive eBooks
Thanks Bev- another item for my wish list.
Hi Bryantburnette,
Here's the link to the Kindle Edition: http://amzn.to/1aoHeaS.
The Enhanced Edition is for the Kindle Fire. The regular version is for all other Kindle devices.
Hope this helps!
I'm greatly confused by the Kindle editions, ColiloquyJen. I have a Kindle Fire HD, but the Enhanced Edition isn't available to my device, according to Amazon. Do I have the "wrong" Kindle Fire?
I tried to buy the enhance version from my Kindle Fire on 06/22 and then from the Amazon website today (06/24) but both times it told me my Kindle Fire (original version) was not compatible.
Hard Listening is available in the Google Play store from my Android phone, but it doesn't say Enhanced Version anywhere and at $17 I'm not taking that chance.
LarryO, try again . . . it randomly worked for me this weekend and I'm now enjoying the enhanced version from my Kindle Fire HD. Amazon must have fixed whatever the hold up was.
Anyone else read this yet? I thought it was terrific. And it makes me want to go out and buy every single book ever written by all the authors. Especially Dave Barry, Greg Iles, and Amy Tan.
Who knew Dave Barry had a brother who is just as funny as he is?

For all of those reasons and whatever unknowable simple moralities operate in a child's mind, she summoned a moment of empathy for her father and asked, "How does that make you feel?"
[ Innocent? Guilty? You Decide: The Top 10 Cases Against Lance ]
"I don't know," I said, which was both true and false. It encompassed the chaos of everything I was feeling but identified none of it. I figured I should pick one emotion, so I said, "Accepting that Lance cheated makes me want to cry. A 46-year-old guy. Can you imagine that?"
But Natalie had already gone back to her life's own pressing matters. And I was stuck with mine.
I BECAME A FAN OF LANCE ARMSTRONG before he was the king of the Tour de France, before he was a heroic cancer survivor and selfless activist. He wasn't rich. He was neither a friend of celebrities nor a celebrity. He wasn't the focus of the longest-running mudfight over doping in sports. Lance Armstrong was 22 when I met him, and he was kicking the shit out of his bicycle.
I was on a motorcycle speeding beside him in a time trial at the 1994 Tour DuPont. Power billowed off his body like smoke off a burning skillet of grease. He was battering his bike, punishing the pedals with kicks and stomps, pushing the handlebar as if trying to shove it up against a barroom wall. This brawling ride was the antithesis of what I thought epitomized the ideal of the sport—the smooth, effortless-looking mastery of the bike called souplesse. The moto driver throttled us close enough to see Armstrong's expression. His lips were pursed, his eyes were slits, the bones of his face were set in hard angles. He seemed to me to be riding mad and in madness, desperate to escape something behind him and furious that he had yet to punch his way through the horizon.
After the race, I saw Armstrong sitting out on a chair beside his team car—this was such a different time that there weren't yet buses. I introduced myself, told him I'd followed his TT.

Course overview
The Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) combines research-based and professional studies in psychology with broad studies in the liberal and creative arts, and provides you with opportunities to develop skills of critical and systematic thinking; an imaginative understanding and appreciation of the theory and practice of the social sciences, the humanities or the arts; and enhanced cultural sensitivity and understanding through genuine reciprocity of values.
The course develops capabilities inherent in interpreting sources of knowledge, and develops the capacity for quantitative and qualitative analysis, and the capacity for critique and creative thinking in various arts disciplines. At the same time, you will develop an understanding of psychology as a scientific discipline and appreciate the role it plays within society as a whole.
In the Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) you will:
- be exposed to a contemporary integrative approach to the understanding of psychology
- recognise the importance of, and interrelationships between, biological, developmental, social, cognitive, and developmental factors
- understand the broad areas of psychology, including behavioural and clinical neuroscience, child and adolescent psychology, relationships and the psychology of groups, cognitive psychology, forensic psychology, and psychopathology
- acquire knowledge and competence in the theory and practice of psychological assessment with a range of clients
- acquire knowledge and competence in the design and delivery of empirically informed treatment programs for a range of clients
- understand the subject matter, concepts and techniques of selected arts, social sciences and humanities disciplines at internationally recognised levels and standards
- gain an awareness of ethical issues, social responsibility and cultural diversity in the arts and in psychological practice
- acquire cross-cultural and international awareness in order to take citizenship and leadership roles in local, national or international communities
- reflect on the experience of personal and professional practice in international and cross-cultural settings and have the capacity to act in professionalised settings responsibly, ethically and with integrity.
The psychology and arts sequences seek to develop in students the skills required to integrate, evaluate, and communicate knowledge; produce new knowledge through research and analysis; apply knowledge of theory and methodology into professional situations; and work successfully both independently and in teams. Moreover, it strives to engage and enthuse students, instilling a lifelong passion for learning, coupled with the desire and confidence to become agents of positive change.
Professional recognition
Deakin's Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and enables you to undertake additional study in pursuit of professional registration.
Fees and charges

Transition to University study
The faculty offers two units AIX160 Introduction to University Study and ALW117 Professional Writing for Work, that are specifically designed to ease the transition into university study. New students are encouraged to enrol in one or both of these units in their first year.
Since several disciplinary studies are cumulative, in that knowledge, technical competencies, and, study and research skills develop across units, there are prerequisites that direct students to take some units before others. Students must seek advice from a course adviser before enrolling in units for which they do not have prerequisite or recommended units.
Assessment within the award of Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) varies from written assignments and examination to practical and technical exercises and performance. In some units assessment may also include class participation, online exercises, seminar exercises, and tests.
Cross-institutional arrangements
Continuing Deakin students may apply to study units offered by another Australian tertiary institution and have them credited to their Deakin University degree. Further information is available from Arts and Education Student Services and Enrolment Enquiries.

Managed in cooperation with Columbia County Ducks Unlimited
Columbia County Landscape and Parks Dept.
Alligator Lake Fish Management Area and Public Small Game Hunting Area, located in Lake City, FL, is the centerpiece of the 1000-acre Alligator Lake Recreation Area, which opened to the public in 2002. The 800-acre shallow lake forms two distinct basins with their associated marshes and cypress swamps. The lake is managed as a Fish Management Area and 484 acres are designated as a Public Small Game Hunting Area for seasonal waterfowl hunting. Water levels are controlled through a series of levees and water control structures, which creates high quality wetland habitat where waterfowl foods flourish. The site offers some of the best birdwatching in the county and is a destination on the Great Florida Birding Trail. The wetlands attract resident and migratory waterfowl such as ring-necked ducks, blue-winged teal, wood ducks and coots. In addition to waterfowl, a variety of wading birds frequent the shallow marshes. Levees and trails within each basin provide miles of hiking and bicycling trails and provide good vantage points for birdwatching. Birders report that rarities such as masked duck, rusty blackbird, ruff and vermillion flycatcher have been recorded here.
Fishing is allowed year-round, except during waterfowl hunting periods. A fishing license is required. Anglers can launch boats and canoes at three separate ramps, or bank fish from the levees or two fishing docks located near the boat ramps. Common catches include panfish such as bluegill, redear sunfish, black crappie, largemouth bass, gar and bowfin. See links below for regulations for Alligator Lake. Columbia County manages the recreation area, which is open for public use year-round, during daylight hours. The Recreation Area offers amenities such as a playground, picnic pavilions, restrooms and other facilities. A FWC managed ½-acre fish pond next to the pavilion is available to educational and youth groups by reservation only from the Columbia County Recreation Department. Alligator Lake is closed to public access on Mondays, except for waterfowl hunters on hunting days. During hours open for hunting, only duck hunters with appropriate licenses and permits are allowed in the marshes and on the levees. Airboats are prohibited during the waterfowl season. All-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and tracked vehicles are prohibited at all times.

George Legrady created an electronic installation, featuring four visualizations, which maps the circulation of Central Library, revealing the community's collective reading interests. The work is presented on six large liquid crystal display screens on the glass wall above the librarians' reference desk in the Charles Simonyi Mixing Chamber.
The first visualization, Statistics, shows the number of books and other material such as DVDs, CDs and videos that patrons have checked out both within the past hour and the day. The background color of the visualization changes throughout the day to note the passage of time.
The second visualization, Floating Titles, consists of the titles of books and other materials that patrons have checked out in the past hour.
The third visualization, Dewey Dot Matrix, shows the titles divided into the Dewey Decimal system's classifications from 000 to 999. The titles of non-Dewey items such as fiction books float from the top to the bottom of the screen.
The fourth visualization, Keyword Map, captures and displays keywords for items patrons have checked out.

Community Art Day at Collingwood Arts CenterWritten by Chase Will | | email@example.com
By Chase Will
Weather-permitting, Community Art Day will include several outdoor events this month.
Artists of all ages are invited to the Collingwood Arts Center from 12-3pm on July 27. There will be face painting and games, complemented by a baked goods sale.
"We'll be doing a lot of crazy stuff this Sunday like sidewalk chalking and other outdoor activities, anything we can come up with," said Lexi Staples, organizer for Community Art Day.
Each event features 5 different art projects aimed primarily at kids. Past projects include moccasins, pet rocks and dinosaur drawings.

Obama: Quit playing blame game
On Aug. 2, 2011, the U.S. Senate approved a plan to raise the federal debt limit and cut government spending by a Senate vote of 74 to 26, a significant majorities of both parties.
President Obama promptly signed the bill. Obama called the initial round of spending cuts in the package "an important first step" in forcing the government to live within its means. "This compromise requires that both parties work together on a larger plan to cut the deficit." He also added, "And since you can't close the deficit with just spending cuts, we'll need a balanced approach where every thing is on the table." Now we have sequester recommended by the White House and agreed upon by our senate.
Fast forward to Feb. 19. The President comes back from a Florida golfing weekend. has now warned that "people will lose their jobs" if Congress doesn't act to end the sequester. He now calls the Aug. 2, 2011 plan an act the Republicans support that was not smart, not fair and was a meat cleaver approach.
The Democrats, Senate and president have failed to submit a federal budget for the fourth time in five years as required by the Budget Act and have failed to say when it will have a plan. Yet the president missed the deadline the same day he signed the aptly named "no budget, no pay" act. The House Republicans passed budgets in 2011 and 2012, though they never reached final agreement with the Senate.
What the Senate Democrats and Obama need to do is come up with their own option and quit blaming their own failures on the Republicans. The president has won the election Now he needs to start governing and quit playing the blame game.

Plant to convert gas to liquid fuel planned in United StatesBy CLIFFORD KRAUSS
The New York Times | December 04,2012WESTLAKE, La. — In an ambitious bet that the glut of cheap natural gas in the United States will last for many years, a South African energy company announced Monday that it would build America's first commercial plant to convert natural gas to diesel and other liquid fuels.
The company, Sasol, which is based in Johannesburg, has been a pioneer in a technology that has tantalized energy scientists for decades over its potential to produce liquid fuels without using oil, which has historically cost far more than natural gas.
Having already built smaller plants in South Africa and Qatar, Sasol has designed its new Louisiana plant to produce 96,000 barrels of fuel a day using its "gas to liquids," or GTL, technology. It will be the second-largest plant of its kind in the world, after Royal Dutch Shell's Pearl plant in Qatar, and will cost $11 billion to $14 billion to build.
"By incorporating GTL technology in the USA's energy mix," David Constable, Sasol's chief executive, said in a statement, "states such as Louisiana will be able to advance the country's energy independence through a diversification of supply."
The facility will include a gas processing plant, a chemical plant and a refinery. All are required to perform the alchemy of converting natural gas into diesel, jet fuel and other chemical products.
What makes this southwestern corner of Louisiana attractive to Sasol is its proximity to bountiful shale gas fields just north of here and west in Texas. A boom in shale drilling has reduced the price of natural gas in the United States in the last four years by more than two-thirds, encouraging many energy and chemical companies to build and expand manufacturing plants around the Gulf of Mexico to produce a variety of petrochemicals.
Sasol estimated that the plant would create at least 1,200 permanent jobs and 7,000 construction jobs. Production is scheduled to begin in 2018. The state encouraged the project with more than $2 billion worth of tax credits and other incentives.
The company said it would put off previously announced plans to build a separate gas-to-liquids plant in Canada, giving priority to the Louisiana effort.
Profits have been elusive for the technology. To make it work, natural gas prices must remain low and prices for oil, diesel and jet fuel must remain high for a prolonged period. Natural gas and diesel prices have historically been very unpredictable.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable...
