Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.
All stories about Children & Youth
Iraq: Epilogue: What is peace?
Sometimes, along the way, the story changes. That's what happened to me over the course of two weeks in northern Iraq.
Iraq: A soft spot in a tough place
Kirkuk, Iraq is a hard place — but, in the middle of it all, there's a soft spot for children.
Egypt: The leaders of now
I wish that I were in Tahrir Square right now. After working in the Middle East for the past five years, I'd like to see and feel this historic moment myself. Our friend Nick Kristof of the New York Times is there.
Iraq: VIDEO: A song, laughter and clapping
A school isn't only a place of learning for a child, it's a place of security. It's a place to be among trusted friends and caring adults.
Iraq: Peaceful still life
A lifetime of conflict, displacement and uncertainty could make for some pretty dark art. A painter growing up during some of Iraq's most violent years might find themselves replaying dismal and disturbing scenes with brushstrokes across canvas.
New ideas and energy flow between Chile and Haiti and beyond
We've just been cc'd into an email to Mercy Corps headquarters from Kyle Dietrich, director of youth programs for Mercy Corps in Haiti. "This has been a tremendous and unexpected week," writes Kyle. "Maxene and I have lots of ideas and a new energy for our challenging work."
Ethiopia: Helping Ethiopian mothers protect their children
It is astonishing to know that very simple solutions exist that will protect our youngest citizens against diseases, yet so few children have access to this basic health care in countries where it is most needed.
DR Congo: Boy in Buhimba IDP camp, Congo
A boy living in the Buhimba camp for families displaced by war, outside the city of Goma, DR Congo.
Haiti: Today I'm living another way
I've been working with Mercy Corps for four months now on the Moving Forward project. Moving Forward is a sport and play-based psychosocial support program designed for youth affected by the January 12 earthquake here in Haiti.
Kyrgyzstan: A warmer New Year's Day for some deserving kids
A big "RAHMAT" — "thank you" in the Kyrgyz and Uzbek languages — to our donors who helped us respond to the crisis in Kyrgyzstan!

Greetings, fellow food freaks! Wow, has it only been nine months since my last food blog? Feels like I've crammed a couple of lifetime's worth of changes into that short span of time. And two of the more noteworthy ones are definitely on-topic for eGullet and this blog:
--On the weight management front: when last I blogged, I was 20 weeks into my weight-loss project, with about 47 pounds lost to show for my efforts. I am now 60 weeks in, have lost a total of 114 pounds, and am still going strong. All of that progress, along with corresponding improvements in my mobility and overall general health, has been accomplished the good-old fashioned way: no fad diets, no drugs, no fasting, just basic day-in and day-out healthy cooking and dining, plus whatever physical activity my bod feels up to. I have managed to make this healthy eating thing into a way of life that is pleasant and maintainable even for a foodgeek like me; I will be showing you a little of how I work it in the course of this blog.
--And regarding the quote from The Good Doctor with which I started this post: since last I blogged, I've finally done it--I have at last managed to slip over the line from crazed amateur food blogger to paid professional food writer. I am now the editor of and a contributing writer for a brand-new restaurant-recommendation website known as SanDiego.Eats.It. As you will see if you follow that link, we are still in beta test mode, so there are still little bits and pieces needing to be filled in. But already it's looking pretty darned spiffy, if I do say so myself. I've been having a helluva lotta fun with my part of this project--if nothing else, I now have a professional justification for my obsession--erm, I mean hobby, of casing every little hole-in-the-wall eatery I spot on my rambles about town.
In fact, the teaser photos for my blog were both taken on restaurant rambles that resulted in write-ups:
This is the so-called "Goat" salad (goat cheese, dried cranberries, and candied walnuts on mesclun) served by Influx, a lovely modern little coffeehouse in the Golden Hill neighborhood.
And this is the beautiful verandah (it seems inadequate to just call it a deck) of Krakatoa, a rather funkier coffeehouse in that same neighborhood.
All of which hints at how I manage to stay on a weight loss regimen even while doing my food-writer beat: I put in for the "healthy/light dining" beat.
As the blog progresses, I plan to take you all along as I check out a couple of restaurants I might write up in future. Other dining extravaganzas on my schedule for the week include a dinner at The Linkery, an innovative little restaurant that makes some fabulous sausages and other "handmade cuisine," as well as a Saturday dim sum brunch. Ethnic cookery, especially Asian cuisines, remains one of my passions, so there will be visits to various ethnic markets and a cooking experiment or three. And it wouldn't be one of my blogs if I didn't work a food-and-music connection in there somewhere, now would it?
For now, I will leave you with this foretaste of things to come:
This was my dinner just prior to coming home and getting this post ready: a big bowl of Nagasaki style champon from Dao Son, a very good (and very spicy--"Dao Son" literally translates to "Hot Chef) Japanese/Vietnamese restaurant in San Diego's North Park neighborhood.
Onward and outward ...

At what point in Tiger Woods's golf career will the media stop trailing the guy around like he's still the No. 1 player in golf?
Even though Woods has been a non-factor in most tournaments since Thanksgiving of 2009, the long-time No. 1 player in the world still gets an inordinate amount of face time on television as he struggles to regain his old form. I guess the guy is news, no matter what he shoots each day. Or maybe we all just like to watch the golfing version of a train wreck unfold each time he plays.
While Woods, now 35, and 40-year-old Phil Mickelson deal with golfing middle age, some of their former subordinates are taking over both the European and PGA Tours. And the media isn't telling us much about them.
For those who care, Germany's Martin Kaymer is ranked No. 1 in the world. He is 26 years old and could stay on top for awhile. Veteran Lee Westwood is No. 2 and playing very well. The Englishman turns 38 later this year.
Luke Donald, who won two straight Northeast Amateur championships in East Providence in 2000-2001, is ranked third in the world. Luke is 33 years old.
No. 4 on the list is Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, the reigning U.S. Open champ. He is 31. Countryman Rory McIlroy is 22 years old and ranked No. 8.
Woods has fallen to No. 5 at this point and is plummeting down the world rankings like a bad stock on Wall Street. Mickelson is ranked No. 6 in the world. He used to be the perennial No. 2 behind Tiger.
The U.S. has four golfers ranked in the world's top 10. Veterans Matt Kuchar and Steve Stricker are 9th and 10th, respectively. England has three golfers ranked among the top seven – Westwood, Donald and Paul Casey (No. 7). Northern Ireland has two golfers in the top eight.
Clearly, European players are dominating the world rankings, owning the first four spots and 11 of the top 20. Last summer, the Euros crossed the ocean and won three PGA Tour tournaments in a row, prompting Westwood to kid commissioner Tim Finchem after an American golfer broke through to win.
The best young American golfer is 11th-ranked Dustin Johnson, another Northeast winner. He turns 27 in June. Bubba Watson, ranked 17th in the world, is 32 and a late bloomer.
Looking at the ratings, you realize how seasoned most of the world's top 20 golfers are. Only Kaymer and McIlroy are in their 20s.
Tiger, of course, dominated the world from the time he was 21 years old. That's what made him so special. Woods cut short his college career at Stanford and immediately began winning all kinds of pro tournaments, big and small. He accumulated 71 PGA Tour wins in 13 years. He famously collected 14 major championship wins, the last one coming at the 2008 U.S. Open that he won while playing with a knee injury that would require surgery.
Now we watch Tiger and wince as he dumps balls in the water and flings his club to the ground like an average weekend player.
Maybe Woods will always be a television presence when he's golfing, whether he's in contention or not. Arnold Palmer won his last PGA Tour event at the age of 41 and the cameras never left him. Palmer took the embryonic Senior Tour and made it a flourishing business when he turned 50 years old. Television invented the Skins Game competition so that Arnie could ratchet up golf's ratings during the so-called "Silly Season."
The big question with Tiger Woods is how long he will continue to compete, should his losing streak extend into his 40s. We've never quite had an elite golfer like Woods lose his skills so quickly. How will Woods deal with relative mediocrity? How is he dealing with finishing 30th at Arnie's tourney, which he has won four times over the years?
Think about it. Bobby Jones and Byron Nelson walked away from competition in their 30s, fearing emotional burnout. Jack Nicklaus cut back his playing schedule, choosing not to show off his fading skills to the public.
Palmer and Sam Snead played and competed on the Senior Tour into their 70s, not caring how it looked to others. They just loved the game.
One wonders how much Tiger loves the game. We all know how his father, the late Earl Woods, stuck a club in his son's hands a few days after the toddler learned how to walk. Tiger's love of the game was tied to his relationship with Earl. When the father died in 2006, Tiger kept on winning while expanding his social life off the course, leading to the disintegration of his marriage and the public humiliation that came with revelations of his numerous affairs with women.
Does Tiger really love golf, or was it the winning that made him happy?
When Tiger turns 40, we should have a better idea where his golf career is heading. At 35, he heads to The Masters in two weeks, knowing the TV cameras will keep track of his every move, even if he is 10 shots out of the lead.
Woods remains the biggest story in golf. But his time in the spotlight may be growing shorter. It's pretty certain he's not going to age gracefully the way Palmer and Nicklaus did. The public will never treat him with the reverence it gave Arnie and Jack, that's for sure.

Somewhere in France
Dear Father and Mother
I recieved your most welcomed letter today and was sure glad to get it. I also got some papers so I was contented for one day. I broke my fountain pen so excuse the pencil as I must use it or borrow someone elses pen which I hate to do. I am feeling fine. Your letter asked me to tell of my trip over but you will have to wait until the war is over for the details but it was a fine trip and the weather was fine all of the way and I was on a large transport. I wish I could tell all I could write mutch longer letter than I do but I am afraid it would be censored and it would spoil the meaning to have much cut out. Well folks I am well and getting along fine. I had my picture taken today (Saturday) but will have to wait until next Friday to get them. I wrote a couple of letters

In a story published by the Deseret News, the Governor's Office of Economic Development is identified as playing a lead role in convincing the FAA to choose Utah from among the other sites in 37 states vying for this distinction.
While the exact location of the site is "under wraps," Herbert's office is promoting the idea by publicizing the economic benefits to the Beehive State.
The Deseret News reports that "if Utah gets a drone testing site, it could bring more than 1,000 new jobs to the state." The newspaper gleaned this data from a report published by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, a drone industry lobbying organization.
The report cited in the newspaper article also claims that "Utah could see about 245 news jobs, and by 2025 it could be 1,085."
Representing a consortium of about 7,000 drone manufacturers and operators, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International issued a code of conduct last year to help assuage fears of potential deprivations of civil liberties in the expanding use of drones.
The press release issued by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International describes the code as "a set of guidelines to provide AUVSI members — and those who design, test and operate UAS [Unmanned Aircraft Systems] for public and civil use — with recommendations for their safe, non-intrusive operation."
"We understand as an industry that we've got a public relations problem," Paul McDuffee, a director of the association who helped write the code, told the Associated Press.
A public relations problem is a mild — and perhaps callous — way of describing the problem with the proliferation of drones. As readers are aware, the use of these drones has become a popular political issue among constitutionalists and other friends of liberty.

Security Around Federal Court Increased As Terrorism Defendants Face Charges

Security was heightened during a hearing for Khaled al-Fawwaz, Adel Abdul Bary and Abu Hamza al-Masri to learn how their cases will proceed to trial. Al-Masri, the one armed Egyptian-born preacher, faces charges that he attempted to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon and assisted in the abduction of 16 hostages, two of them American tourists, in Yemen in 1998. Both al-Fawwaz and Abdul Bary face charges that they participated in the bombings of embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in August 1998. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Buzz: Looking At The Prospects That Could Get Traded For Rick Nash
At ESPN Insider, Corey Pronman lists five Ranger prospects that the Rangers could trade for Rick Nash.
He lists Tim Erixon, Chris Kreider, Michael St. Croix, JT Miller and Dylan McIlrath.
- On Erixon, who Pronman is a big fan of, he says that Erixon projects to be a shutdown defenseman who can play against the other team's top players.
- On Kreider, Pronman writes that he is looked at as a top six goal scorer with first line potential.
- On St. Croix, he quotes a scout as saying, "He's the player this year I thought he was going to be last year." St. Croix is a brilliant playmaking forward with great upside and could have the potential to be a top-two line scorer in the NHL.
- On JT Miller, Pronman says that he is a versatile player with no noticeable weaknesses.
- On McIlrath, he says that after struggling to start the season, McIlrath has "been a bone-crushing defenseman who scares the life out of opposing forwards every shift."
It is believed that the Rangers would prefer to send prospects to Columbus over roster players in order to acquire Nash.

Heat hits Oregon: 'It's gorgeous… summer's finally here!'
EUGENE, Ore. -- As the start of summer weather hits the state people from central and southern Oregon joined those out at the south coast in finding ways to enjoy the sunshine.
After the rain that started off the week, those in the southern Willamette Valley area went out to enjoy the sunny weather any way they could.
"It's gorgeous… summer's finally here! I'm really excited to get out and enjoy it," said Jamie Shack, a Eugene resident out enjoying the sun.
To beat the heat families slathered on the sunscreen and went out to the water parks.
"He's got a rash guard on, he's got shorts, sunscreen and a big ol' hat and sunglasses," Shack said, pointing out her son playing in the fountains at Washington Park.
Others like Jillian Edwards tried to keep cool at their local pool.
"It's soothing and you get to go around, and its nice and cold," said Edwards.
While there were above average temperatures in the Willamette Valley, thermometers climbed even higher in Douglas County.
Roseburg residents were splashing through the Umpqua Friday afternoon, trying to take the edge off of the sweltering temperatures. The same water that can be a summer sanctuary can also be dangerous. That's why swimmers like Jayd Thomas said it's best to stick to the shallow side and stay safe.
"That current … the closest one. I try not to go past that," Thomas said.
Those seeking refuge in the cooler, mid-70 degree temperatures headed out to the south coast. Even though the beach provided some relief, visitors like Layne Philips still thought it necessary to get their toes wet.
"We're just enjoying this beautiful summer weather and appreciating every great summer day that we have here on the Oregon coast," Philips said.
Bill Bart said he couldn't picture a better way to spend the day at Sunset Bay Beach in Coos Bay.
"Natural air conditioning, watching the kids play over here," said Bart. "They looked happy and it's just a beautiful place to be."

Changstrom Claims Second MVC Scholar-Athlete Honor this Season
ST. LOUIS – Creighton softball junior Becca Changstrom earned Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Scholar-Athlete of the Week honors for the second time this season after recording a 4-1 record and 47 strikeouts in five appearances last week.
The award marks Changstrom's second career MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week honor. She also she claimed the honor two weeks ago after a solid weekend at the UT Arlington Maverick Invitational. Creighton players won just one scholar-athlete award in 2012.
Earlier this week Changstrom earned recognition from the Valley as the MVC Pitcher of the Week for the third time in a month.
The junior right-hander notched an astonishing 47 strikeouts in five appearances over 30.2 innings of work to register a 4-1 record for Creighton last week.
In four starts Changstrom hurled four complete games, including a pair of shutouts, leading to a 0.68 ERA. She also came on in relief against Youngstown State to secure an extra-inning win allowing no hits and one walk over two-plus innings while striking out three.
The Lincoln, Neb., native matched her career high of 13 K's on March 15 in a conference-opening win at Evansville. She struck out 10 more Purple Aces in the series finale a day later.
This season Changstrom has notched 10 K's or more on six different occasions including each of her last three outings. The rest of the league's pitchers own just four games total with 10 or more strikeouts. No other MVC pitcher can claim more than one such effort in 2013.
For the week, Changstrom allowed only three earned runs and gave up seven walks while holding opposing batters to a .148 average at the plate. She leads the Valley in ERA (1.37), strikeouts (125), opposing batting average (.180) and wins (11).
A chemistry major, Changstrom currently carries a 3.846 GPA.
Now in its 14th year of existence, The Valley's Scholar-Athlete program honors its student-athletes for their athletic performance for a one-week period and academic success in the classroom.
To qualify for Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week laurels, student-athletes must carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20, completed at least one academic year at a Valley institution and must be at least a sophomore in academic standing.
Redshirt freshmen and first-year junior college transfers are not eligible. In addition to the academic qualifications, student-athletes will be evaluated on their athletic performance for a one-week period.
Creighton (16-9) is set to host its first series of the season against defending MVC champion Illinois State (13-12) this weekend.
The Bluejays and Redbirds are scheduled to play a doubleheader Saturday beginning at noon CT at the CU Sports Complex. The teams will conclude the series with a single game Sunday slated for noon at the Complex.

BGA Extra: Jets at Dolphins
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 Sunday's game in Miami. 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.
Brad R.
I'm confused. We gave up 185 yds rushing, with over four yards a carry and two TDs to a team that has a rookie QB and no credible threat at WR besides Bess, a slot receiver, and yet on a individual basis you've concluded that the D-Line performed well except Po'uha and a rotational guy in Dixon who was cut after the game? Same for our two ILBs who, with the exception of a few plays, performed well v. the run?
We did stiffen up in the 2nd half after Bush went down, but nearly 200 yds rushing to a one-dimensional offense and yet DeVito, Wilkerson, Ellis and Bart all had good games?
No problem and I'm happy to clarify. First of all two of the worst players against the run were Pace and McIntyre, who as I mentioned were reponsible for some of the worst breakdowns on runs to the edge. Revis and Landry were also guilty of bad missed tackles in the running game, leading to big plays on which the linemen could not be faulted. The Jets have a disciplined running scheme where everyone usually remains in their lane, so it is quite possible for a guy like Wilkerson to do a great job on a play and force it to bounce to the outside, but then someone loses contain and the run is successful anyway.
It's interesting that you point out my mention of the inside linebackers doing a good job except for a couple of plays, because that's symptomatic of how the NFL works. On any given play, most players will do their job but where someone wins their matchup or makes a good read or cut, that's what makes the difference. All players will have some bad plays and some good ones in any given game and it's those that are the most consistent in terms of making more good plays than bad that become elite. On Sunday, as I mentioned, Bart more than made up for his breakdowns by affecting several plays, whereas Harris didn't have as much of an impact, so was a net negative overall (especially when you rely on him to anchor the run defense). However, that's not all his fault as the defensive line didn't do as good of a job keeping blockers off him because Po'uha was single teamed as I mentioned.
On the day, Miami had 27 runs that went for four yards or less, so there were a lot of plays where the defense made a stop. As noted above, those players that I noted played well were not responsible for many of the breakdowns on the plays that were more successful than this, so that's how I would rationalize them playing well, despite the bad numbers.
I'd also have to add that although Miami is one-dimensional, they have put up some impressive numbers in the first few games, so it does look like their running game is pretty formidable. Sure, a lot of that is attributable to Bush, but the other backs have looked good too and, as you noted, the run defense was better in the second half (less than four yards per carry). It definitely wasn't a performance as good as they had in Pittsburgh, but the performance in that game gives me hope they'll hopefully shut down all but the elite running attacks.
I'm amazed at the different perspectives you and Bassett have on Bart Scott. I also thought he had a good game and was surprised to read a post (that went up before BGA – D) in which Bassett wrote about the linebackers missing tackles "especially Scott – who seems to be grasping" ( I paraphrased what he wrote but I think it's pretty close).
Also wondering what I think will be a pretty big topic soon – how do you think Revis's injury changes the team's position on resigning him? He probably still wants top dollar which I can't imaging they want to give him after what Ryan called a "severe" injury, unless it's very incentive driven. Thoughts?
In terms of Revis, hopefully I've covered that in my BGA on him (click the BGA tab at the top of the page to find this). Also, here's a great article on that very subject from Jason at NYJetsCap.com. For Bart Scott, that's as simple as things like missed tackles standing out in real time, but things like blowing up a play by taking out a blocker or redirecting a runner showing up on a closer inspection of the footage. His tackling was a lot better this week and I'm sure Bassett would agree that Bart has played well these last two weeks if he had time to go back over the footage in as much detail as I did. Ultimately the different perspectives are not just between me and Bassett, but me and most of the Jets Beat. BGA would be pretty redundant if I just parroted everything the beat writers say though!
Was wondering how many snaps Coples has seen this year and if those snaps are going to go up anytime soon. Frustrating to see us generating near no pass rush and we draft a guy to help that and he rides the bench. What do you think is Rex's reasoning, maybe not picking up the defense or is Rex being a little to loyal to the vets?
I'm pretty confident about Coples, because he's been doing a good job, even in those games where he didn't play much. He had 32 snaps in game one and 16 in each of the next two. However, Rex explained away the lower snap count in the Steelers game by saying he wanted to give his bigger linemen lots of reps because they match up better with the Steelers' linemen. Also, the snap count in the Miami game was apparently because he was ill all week which ate into his preparation time. There's no reason to be concerned yet, because the players ahead of him are all good and it's perhaps unrealisitic to expect him to be better or more consistent than any of them right away.
Is Pouncey that good or was Po'uha that bad? Numerous plays the middle of the Jets D got pushed back in that game…
Po'uha wasn't that bad, it's just a performance that stood out because I'm used to seeing him hold his own against double teams and dominate against single coverage. Most of the time he and Pouncey played to a standstill, but the fact that this was without needing to double team him freed up some of the other linemen to make impact blocks. I've always thought that Maurkice Pouncey was overrated, but I must say I was impressed with the younger model.
Could you break down the difference in pass pressure between the Jets using a 3 vs. 4 defensive line set and also the rushing yardage between the two. I don't mean 4 defensive linemen with Mcintyre playing DE either…I mean four real linemen. I'd accept Pace as one of those 4. From my perspective the Jets seemed to fare a lot better in that game with 4 linemen vs. three.
In terms of pressure, there were ten plays where Tannehill was under pressure. Seven of these came from a play where the Jets had a four man front and three from when they had a three man front. However, if you want me not to count Garrett McIntyre as a DE even when he had his hand down, then he was in at DE on two of those four man fronts that generated a pressure (including one where he generated that pressure himself). So, if those two plays count as three man fronts under your criteria, that makes it five each. If you also want me to treat Aaron Maybin as a linebacker even when he had his hand down, then he was in on the other five plays with a four man front, so that would mean they generated NO pressure from a four DE front by your criteria, although that would also mean that they weren't in a four DE front very often.
In terms of rushing yardage, Miami had 20 carries for 91 yards against a three (or fewer) man front and exactly the same number of carries and yards against a four man front. Once again, if you wanted to treat McIntyre as a linebacker even when he had his hand down, there were only three running plays where they had a four DE front – gaining 10 yards. Maybin was never in a four man front on a running play.
I am not sure how you define missed tackles but it seemed like the Jets line missed a lot more then two to me.
I was using the PFF numbers because using my own numbers would give me a set of data which was created on a different set of criteria to their numbers and would therefore prevent me from being able to use that data in comparison with their overall numbers for other teams and other seasons. I do know that PFF has very clearly defined and painstakingly applied criteria for things like missed tackles and drops and this has been arrived at following numerous discussions with their analysts and sources within NFL teams. I actually said that the front seven combined for two missed tackles, not the defensive line. Pace and Scott were credited with one each, so the linemen had none. However, in my own film analysis, I noted two for Wilkerson and one each for Pace, McIntyre and Harris. I didn't note one for Scott, but I went back to the film for the one they identified and it was on 3rd and 8 just before the missed field goal in OT – he whacked into the runner at the line and he fell forward for a short gain while a few other guys fell on him. While my criteria is usually stricter, that's not something I would have counted as a missed tackle.
How many inaccurate vs. accurate passes Sanchez threw when he was off balance vs when he was able to set and step into the throw? Seems to me he has trouble throwing accurately off balance and that he was off balance a lot in this game because of the constant pressure…
Funnily enough, Sanchez was actually pretty good under pressure for a change. He had a 60% completion rate and a 93.5 QB rating. Anyway, of the passes I would characterize as good throws, I would describe him as having been off-balance on two of them. However, there was one where he was hit after he threw, one where he had to step up first and one where he had to move in the pocket. Of the throws I would characterize as poor, he was off-balance on four of them, plus there were two where he was hit after he released the throw. There were 14 good and 14 bad throws and I did not review the other throws (things like routine dump offs or throw aways) that did not belong in either category.
Why is Sparano using Tebow as a receiver or tight end? Is the defense really getting confused? I'm assuming he is in there as a decoy and I think it's stupid that they are making him run routes.
I don't know if he's a decoy or if he's actually shown an ability to make plays from that position in practice, but neither does any other team. Obviously he has to run routes to be a convincing decoy and for now he's been occupying a defender. If he can be serviceable in that kind of role, it would add a dimension to the wildcat by making it easier to transition to. For now, we wait.
It looked to me that during the 1st half, Marshall was playing tight man coverage on Holmes, and like last week, Holmes struggled to defeat it. He drew penalties, but couldn't consistently get open. It also looked to me like the Dolphins switched to a zone later in the game, and Holmes started doing more damage. Was this true?
Marshall was matched up with Holmes pretty much the whole time, which is a departure from Miami's gameplan over the last few weeks which has seen Sean Smith take one side and Marshall the other. The taller Smith never matched up with Holmes. They did play some zone and Holmes did do some damage against that, but he did do plenty of damage on Marshall too, including that big play in overtime.
If you get the all-22 footage (I don't remember if you do or not), can you comment on the route running? I think it was juunit who said he was at the game and that the receivers were running poor routes in general, especially those who were not targeted. If that's true, I wonder if that doesn't give the play away sometimes. The guy running hard is the one who's getting the ball.
I do get the All-22, but it isn't available until midweek, by which time I've already done such a pretty comprehensive review of what happened for Monday's BGA that I typically don't gain too much additional information from it, because I've become pretty adept at figuring out what goes on off the screen based on how they line up and where they end up. There were some issues with route running that were apparent without even needing the coaches film, but these were sloppiness or miscommunications rather than laziness. While I do see some guys going through the motions on their routes, it's usually only in a situation where there is a handoff or an immediate pass the other way and they were never likely to be an option, nor would there be time for a defender to read their lack of enthusiasm and react to it. I am constantly on the look out for receivers running routes where they don't go at full speed or make no attempt to look back at the ball, but it's not something I saw obvious evidence of this week. I expect everyone knows there is playing time up for grabs and only really Holmes and Kerley's spots in the rotation are secure.
Can you tell us how many 3 vs 4 man fronts the Dolphins showed? Also, can you mention how many 3 vs 4 man fronts the Jets showed?
Miami played four man fronts basically all the time (not including goal line situations). There were only four plays where they had a three man front. By my count, the Jets were in a 3-4 on 27 plays, goal line defense three times, nickel 23 times, dime 9 times and 4-3 on 23 plays. Obviously they were in four man fronts on some of the nickel packages too – by my count 15. That makes a total of 38 four man fronts in 85 plays, with three with more than four and 44 with three or less.
I don't understand how the receivers can still be so sloppy in their route running. These guys (for the most part) have had training camp, practices, multiple preseason games, and now 3 regular season games, and yet it seems like every time Sanchez throws an interception, it's partially his fault, but also the fault of a bad route run by the receiver. Is this something that we're just going to have to deal with? Or are these problems that will presumably be lessened as the season goes on and people get into a groove?
I can't give a stronger answer than "hopefully it's the latter" right now, but to be fair to Sanjay Lal, he is in his first season as a Jet and two of his guys are inexperienced route runners (Gates and Hill) – although I am actually encourtaged by what I've seen from Hill in that domain so far.
If the team should in the future decide it's time to move on from Sanchez, at what point can they realistically (financially) do so?
The guaranteed money at the end of this year is $8m. However, his salary is higher than that, so if they were to draft a replacement, they might save enough money to bear the year one cap hit on a rookie contract, even for a top five pick. There would be some other dead money though, but the immediate effect of this could be lessened by treating it as a June 1st cut. If Sanchez continues to be inconsistent rather than consistently poor, then $8m of guarantees probably isn't even an untradeable contract, so they might even be able to clear most of his cap number.
Do you think the Greene's inability to take advantage of the power blocking scheme fully accounts for his looking so much like a below average RB right now? Personally, I don't buy the "he's always been a slow starter" angle and I never liked it for the O-line either. Seems like a cop out to me. In a sport where you only have 16 regular season games, slow starters ought to spend more time on the bench.
I think there is certainly some truth to the fact that it takes the offensive line a while to gel when they introduce a new player or change up the scheme and Greene's slow start last year was very closely aligned with how well the offensive line performed. However, yes, what I'm seeing this year suggests that he is struggling to adjust to the different decision making reads required in this system and Rex's comments seem to back that up. We'll just have to wait and see if this is something he can improve at or if he's just a bad fit, but right now Powell has looked like a better option.
Could you review the tape to see the percentage of running plays where the offensive line as a whole created a forward surge or a nice gap at the point of attack? I have to imagine it's a low percentage. And conversely (using the same accounting system) how well Miami's offensive line did? Also, do you have access to "point of first contact" beyond the LOS for both offenses? That number comparison may also be informative.
Rather than review the film, since I had a series of time-consuming film questions this week, I'll go to my data from the game. Remembering that Miami had 43 running plays and the Jets just 33, I tracked 16 plays where at least one Jets defensive lineman was driven back off the line or out of a play – although on some of those, there may have been a Jets player that got penetration. How many times did I track a Jets offensive lineman driving a Dolphins lineman back or out of a play? Just nine. That's 27% compared to 37% for Miami.
Now this data might not be a perfect comparison because I was looking at it from the Jets' perspective each time, but hopefully it does serve to illustrate your point.
The numbers for point of first contact on running plays seems to bear this out as you expected. Miami – 1.7 yards, Jets 1.3 yards.
One other area I'd appreciate your thoughts on are the "bounce outside runs". It seems that successful running teams intentionally design running plays that start off in between the tackles and then "bounce" outside catching the defense flat footed – Bush, Spiller, Rice and others do this particularly well. There was one successful run by Greene where this happened, but it seemed not by design, but more improvisational. Why don't the Jets do more of this? Is it due to not having the right players (speed & agility vs power), not believing in the scheme, something else?
I think those are all possible reasons. I think the scheme is designed for that to happen (after all, didn't Miami do it to the Jets a few times last year? So, yes, it comes down to the players and once again it shines the spotlight on Greene's struggles to make the right read. I've seen Powell and McKnight have more success bouncing it to the outside in preseason and in the regular season.
Did the Steelers and Dolphins defend Hill differently from the Bills, or is his lack of production more attributable to his mistakes?
The Steelers definitely did – they gave him a lot more attention and were physical with him. As a result, he was barely targeted. The Dolphins took their chances, a lot like the Bills did and at least five of the incompletions thrown his way could have been successful plays if not for a bad route or an inability to haul in a catchable pass.
This has been going on for a while now. Good teams have this problem once or twice a game, but the Jets have consistently not been on the same page. This offense has been awful. There, I said it. Why is it so hard for them to move the ball?
I blame Schotty.

The Rangers and Zack Greinke are holding up Winter Meetings
Matthew Cerrone, Lead WriterIt looks to me like all of baseball is sitting around waiting to see what happens with free-agent Zack Greinke before they start making deals for other players…
Based on reports today from CBS Sports, Fox Sports and ESPN.com, it seems like the Rangers are also holding up the Winter Meetings, working to keep their big-time shortstops, and instead use 3B-1B prospect Mike Olt in a multiple-team deal that gets them D-Backs OF Justin Upton, while letting Josh Hamilton go, and then using that money to sign Greinke, who is also being pursued by the Dodgers.
Why do I care? Because, in the event Sandy Alderson decides to trade R.A. Dickey, a good source told Andy Martino of the Daily News, "Keep a close eye on the Rangers."
Why? Because Texas has a deep farm system, including Olt, who is capable of playing outfield, and it seems Dickey might be a fall-back for Texas – as is Rays RHP James Shields, for whom the Rays are seeking a young bat.
The Royals are interested in Dickey and Shields, as well, but they have no interest in Greinke.
The Dodgers are reportedly interested in Dickey, as well… and Greinke, of course.
According to Ken Rosental at FoxSports.com, one proposed deal would send Upton to Texas and Asdrubal Cabrera to Arizona, with the Indians getting a package of young talent, possibly including Olt. Rosenthal says there is another scenario that includes the Rays, who would get a young bat as well, while sending Shields to the Rangers with Upton.
It's crazy. It really is. All while the Mets continue talking with Dickey's agent and maybe not trading and signing him instead of a contract extension…

Video: JSO Sgt. C.G. Nieto provides robbery suspect description
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- UPDATE (Dec 16): According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Herman Pickens has been officially charged with the July 8 Mojo's murder/robbery on St. Johns Avenue.
MORE: Search underway for robbery, assault suspect on Westside
A trip to the drug store turned violent for a man on the west side July 8.
Around midnight, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office was called to the CVS Pharmacy at Roosevelt Boulevard and San Juan Avenue.
An unidentified man reported being attacked and robbed by two men while in the parking lot.
Sgt. C.G. Nieto briefed reporters at JSO headquarters following the incident.
"They (the suspects) pretended to ask the victim for directions to a street. They preceeded to beat him down to the ground. They went into his pockets and took his wallet and fled on foot," Nieto detailed.
Surveillance video from the pharmacy helped police identify the suspects, according to Nieto. Both of the suspects were later spotted by police in the area of Lake Shore Boulevard.
The same CVS location made headlines in July when Herman Pickens allegedly shot an employee during an armed robbery. It was the same night a man was shot and killed cleaning restaurant equipment at Mojo No. 4 BBQ in Avondale.

Geography | Government | History
Mexico is bordered by the United States to the north and Belize and Guatemala to the southeast. Mexico is about one-fifth the size of the United States. Baja California in the west is an 800-mile (1,287-km) peninsula that forms the Gulf of California. In the east are the Gulf of Mexico and the Bay of Campeche, which is formed by Mexico's other peninsula, the Yucatán. The center of Mexico is a great, high plateau, open to the north, with mountain chains on the east and west and with ocean-front lowlands beyond.
Federal republic.
At least three great civilizations—the Mayas, the Olmecs, and the Toltecs—preceded the wealthy Aztec empire, conquered in 1519–1521 by the Spanish under Hernando Cortés. Spain ruled Mexico as part of the viceroyalty of New Spain for the next 300 years until Sept. 16, 1810, when the Mexicans first revolted. They won independence in 1821.
From 1821 to 1877, there were two emperors, several dictators, and enough presidents and provisional executives to make a new government on the average of every nine months. Mexico lost Texas (1836), and after defeat in the war with the U.S. (1846–1848), it lost the area that is now California, Nevada, and Utah, most of Arizona and New Mexico, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. In 1855, the Indian patriot Benito Juárez began a series of reforms, including the disestablishment of the Catholic Church, which owned vast property. The subsequent civil war was interrupted by the French invasion of Mexico (1861) and the crowning of Maximilian of Austria as emperor (1864). He was overthrown and executed by forces under Juárez, who again became president in 1867.
Bloody Political Strife and Trouble with the U.S.
The years after the fall of the dictator Porfirio Diaz (1877–1880 and 1884–1911) were marked by bloody political-military strife and trouble with the U.S., culminating in the punitive U.S. expedition into northern Mexico (1916–1917) in unsuccessful pursuit of the revolutionary Pancho Villa. Since a brief civil war in 1920, Mexico has enjoyed a period of gradual agricultural, political, and social reforms. The Partido Nacional Revolucionario (PNR; National Revolutionary Party), dominated by revolutionary and reformist politicians from northern Mexico, was established in 1929; it continued to control Mexico throughout the 20th century and was renamed the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI; Institutional Revolutionary Party) in 1946. Relations with the U.S. were disturbed in 1938 when all foreign oil wells were expropriated, but a compensation agreement was reached in 1941.
Economic Growth
Following World War II, the government emphasized economic growth. During the mid-1970s, under the leadership of President José López Portillo, Mexico became a major petroleum producer. By the end of Portillo's term, however, Mexico had accumulated a huge external debt because of the government's unrestrained borrowing on the strength of its petroleum revenues. The collapse of oil prices in 1986 cut Mexico's export earnings. In Jan. 1994, Mexico joined Canada and the United States in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), with the plan to phase out all tariffs over a 15-year period, and in Jan. 1996, it became a founding member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
In 1995, the U.S. agreed to prevent the collapse of Mexico's private banks. In return, the U.S. won virtual veto power over much of Mexico's economic policy. In 1997, in what observers called the freest elections in Mexico's history, the PRI lost control of the lower legislative house and the mayoralty of Mexico City in a stunning upset. To increase democracy, President Ernesto Zedillo said in 1999 that he would break precedent and not personally choose the next PRI presidential nominee. Several months later, Mexico held its first presidential primary, which was won by former interior secretary Francisco Labastida, Zedillo's closest ally among the candidates.
Turn of the Century Presidential Elections
In elections held on July 2, 2000, the PRI lost the presidency, ending 71 years of one-party rule. The new president, Vicente Fox Quesada of the conservative National Action Party (PAN), vowed tax reform, an overhaul of the legal system, and a reduction in power of the central government. By 2002, however, Fox had made little headway on his ambitious reform agenda. Disfavor with Fox was evident in 2003 parliamentary elections, when the PRI rebounded.
In 2004, a two-year investigation into the "dirty war," which Mexico's authoritarian government waged against its opponents in the 1960s and 1970s, led to an indictment—later dropped—against former president Luis Echeverria for ordering the 1971 shooting of student protesters.
In 2005, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the enormously popular mayor of Mexico City, emerged as a presidential candidate for the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution. López Obrador seemed likely to defeat the party of the deeply unpopular incumbent, Vicente Fox. But in Oct. 2005, Felipe Calderón unexpectedly became the candidate of Fox's National Action Party (PAN), defeating Fox's chosen successor. By spring 2006, Felipe Calderón had caught up to López Obrador in opinion polls. In the July election, Calderón won 35.9% of the vote, a razor-thin margin over López Obrador, who received 35.3%. López Obrador appealed the election, but on Aug. 28, Mexico's top electoral court rejected López Obrador's allegations of fraud. His supporters held massive protest rallies before and after the verdict. Calderón was sworn in on Dec. 1. He vowed to make fighting the drug cartels a top priority, and he dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers and police to confront them.
Drug Violence Plagues the Country
In May 2008, Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora announced that over 4,000 people had been killed in drug-related violence since President Calderon took office—1,400 of the deaths occurred in 2008 alone.
In Aug. 2008, hundreds of thousands of protesters across the country marched for the more than 2,700 people who were killed and 300 kidnapped in drug-related violence since January 2008. In Dec. 2008, the number of killings registered between 1 January and 2 December was 5,376—a rise of 117% from the previous year. In Nov. 2008 alone, there were 943 drug-related murders.
In Dec. 2008, the U.S. released $197 million of a $400 million plan called the Merida Initiative to help Mexico fight the drug cartels, yet drug violence continued mostly unabated. By the end of 2009, an estimated 6,500 people had been killed in drug-related violence.
Late April and early May 2009 brought a new challenge: a flu outbreak. A new strain of influenza, known as swine flu, originated in Mexico and spread to at least 24 other countries. The World Health Organization declared that a pandemic was a possibility. Originally, Swine Flu was thought to be quite dangerous, though as time passed, Mexican authorities said they may have overestimated the threat. As a precaution, the Mexican government shut down all nonessential business for five days starting on May 1, 2009. Other governments limited travel to and from Mexico.
Despite Calderón's pledge to bring down the drug cartels, drug-related violence escalated into 2010. After the fatal shooting in March 2010 of a pregnant U.S. consulate employee by an alleged drug trafficker, Calderón stepped up his pressure on the U.S. to take responsibility for its role in the crisis; U.S. arms traffickers supply weapons to the cartels and drug users in the U.S. are consumers of Mexican drugs. As the violence spilled over into the U.S., officials did in fact acknowledge the country's role in the growing problem and the potential risks to U.S. national security. The U.S. and Mexico revised their counternarcotics strategy with a $330 million program intended to expand the Merida Initiative, which was begun under President Bush. The plan includes strengthening poor communities to give citizens alternatives to crime, better screening at the border, and shifting the focus of funding from military equipment to a civilian police force that will patrol Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez.
Drug-Related Violence Continues
More than 34,600 deaths due to drug-related violence have been reported in President Felipe Calderón's first four years of office. According to the government, 2010 was the heaviest year yet with 15,237 people being killed. In October 2010, the government announced its plan to do away with the country's 2,200 local police department and place all officers under one unified command.
In February 2011, the U.S. began flying unarmed drones over Mexico to collect and turn over information to Mexican law enforcement agencies. One drone reportedly provided information on suspects linked to the Feb. 15 killing of Jaime Zapata, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. In July 2011, violence broke out in several cities. Over 20 people were killed in Monterrey when armed men began firing on a bar. During the same weekend, 11 people were found dead from gunshot wounds just outside Mexico City and 10 decapitated heads were found in Torreon. Although authorities did not identify suspects in the killings, officials said that all of the incidents occurred in the wake of cartel fights.
On November 11, 2011, Francisco Blake Mora, Mexico's secretary of the interior, died in a helicopter crash. The crash killed all eight passengers onboard. Due to his position, Mora, the country's second most powerful government official, led the battle against drug traffickers. His death was a major blow to Calderón's presidency. Calderón appointed Mora to his cabinet in July 2010. Mora became the second interior minister killed during Calderón's term. Calderón's first interior minister was killed in a plane crash almost exactly three years ago.
Party Official Resigns as the Presidential Election Approaches
In December 2011, Humberto Moreira resigned from his position as president of the Institutional Revolutionary Party. Moreira stepped down because of a financial scandal which threatened his party's chances in the 2012 presidential election. News media coverage connected Moreira to debt and loan irregularities in Coahulia, a state which he governed until January 2011.
His party's candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto, became the early frontrunner in the 2012 presidential election. He worked to convince voters that the Institutional Revolutionary Party has moved passed its history of corruption.
In February 2012, Josefina Vázquez Mota was chosen as a presidential candidate for Mexico's National Action Party. Mota, an economist and former education secretary, becomes the first woman nominated by a major party to run for president. "I am going to be the first woman president in history," said Mota, accepting the nomination. After a narrow defeat in the 2006 Presidential election, Andrés Manuel López Obrador was nominated again by the Democratic Revolutionary Party to run in the presidential election, which occurs in July 2012.
Enrique Peña Nieto Easily Wins Presidential Election
On July 1, 2012, Enrique Peña Nieto was elected president. A member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Peña Nieto received 38 percent of the vote, defeating both National Action Party candidate Josefina Vázquez Mota and Democratic Revolutionary Party candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who lost the 2006 President election by a slim margin.
Peña Nieto's victory was another political shift in a country plagued with a violent, ongoing drug war and economic uncertainty. After ruling the country since 1929, Peña Nieto's party, PRI, suffered a huge defeat in 2000. Since 2000, the country has been in a period of multiparty democracy. During his campaign, Peña Nieto promised voters a change in Mexico's fight against the drug war. He vowed to focus more on reducing violence instead of making arrests and raids in attempts to block drugs from getting into the United States.

I'm listening!
"Did Dina Have a Cold?"
I really enjoyed this one. I felt it had a great plot and it wasn't so "Woe is me..." I loved bringing in Allison, she was much needed and really brought flare.I loved it.
What did seem annoying was that the narrator forgot what the voices sounded like in previous segments, plus it was like she had a cold. If you can get past that, it's all good.
Finally looking forward to the next one!
"Getting irritating and far-fetched"
By the 7th book you would think she would have learned to live with what she was now and not keep harping constantly on wanting to retain her humanity, we get it, but every book is peppered with self-deprecating remarks that are no longer humorous and to the point of being irritating. There's also a lot of repetitiveness, i.e., how weird she is, how she fakes eating, etc. She's also pretty self-absorbed.
The actual mystery was interesting, although there were some far-fetched components thrown into the story. And she should have really given her decision at the end a little more thought.
"A Good Story, But Not My Favorite"
Although I did enjoy this story, it was not my favorite in this series. I still gave it 5 stars because of my overall enjoyment of the series. I really wish the author would bulk up the stories a bit to give us a longer read. Dina Pearlman continues to do an excellent job as narrator. If you are new to this series, be sure to start from the beginning.

Political correctness in the world of academia is creating an environment that is becoming increasingly oppressive to students with a conservative world view. Teachers are becoming ever more brazen in their attempts to intimidate, harass, and bully students into accepting the liberal or progressive view of how society should operate. One particularly shocking example is that of Benji Backer (shown with 2012 Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan), a high-school student in Appleton, Wisconsin, who was featured in the local newspaper. When it was revealed that he was working the phones in support of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker during last year's recall election, Benji found himself on the receiving end of intense verbal abuse from several angry teachers. But the abuse had been going on even before then. The New American recently sat down with Benji, to find out what it's like being a conservative and politically active student in a liberal school system.
Here is his story:

By KRISTINA ESPINOZAPrice
On March 9 I heard of a promotion at a local grocery store.
The promotion started at 9 a.m. and was to go on until 11 a.m. The promotion was for free groceries. I thought gee this is great, so I high tailed it over there with my cousin.
We shared a cart and filled it up in 15 minutes and then we got in line abour 10:40 a.m. and was waiting to be checked out.
Then came the news. They were no longer accepting carts for the free grocery promotion. There were at least 15 or 20 customers standing in line with full carts. We were all confused because it was not yet 11, but I believe the promoter had gone over his budget so he turned all of us away.
I was upset, not because I did not get my free groceries but because I think the promoters could have planned this out a little better.They should have limited the free grocery spending to $50-$100 dollars a household. I don't know who was promoting the free grocery promotion but here is some advice for them.
Before you have another promotion you need to have some sort of limitation, control, and rules to enforce before announcing a promotion like this one. The promoters have to know that we are a small community and good news like this will travel fast and they need to be prepared for just about anything.
I feel bad for the employees at the store because they were left holding the bag; all those carts full of groceries that now had to be put back.
I guess this is a lesson learned. If it sounds too good to be true then most likely it is. I would like to say to the promoters, I hope you plan your next promotion in a more organized way.
Otherwise instead of it being good for business, it will be bad.

I gave this delightful little lamb to a new baby, 5 days old. Her grandmother told me that it was instant love between it and the baby: When placed near, the baby became quiet and peaceful. So, there is nothing else to say, but that everything about the toy is perfect.
