Review by Janna, Connecticut, USA, added 5/15/13: I would recommend this
The Aquapac belt case is submersible and gives you peace of mind when exploring that your valuables can be with you and safe and dry. The adjustable belt works for either a man or woman. The bag is solid and what you put inside is not visible for added security. It fit my small Lumix camera, passport, cash, & credit card comfortably. I would recommend this especially for those who enjoy going on tours or trips - we used it for our day-trips snorkeling & kayaking in Koh Tao and Ang Thong Marine National Park. It allowed me to leave my bag and towel on the boat but feel like I had my important items with me!

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- There are new policies at the Oxford Street Shelter aimed at placing more people in permanent housing.
Maine Housing recently released the results of the annual Point In Time homelessness survey. The city of Portland wasn't surprised to see that its numbers were up from the previous year. But the city is working with shelters to curb that increase. Portland's Health and Human Services Department has implemented significant changes at the city's shelters. Oxford Street Shelter clients are now required to meet with shelter employees about their plans to find permanent housing. There are also mental health professionals on hand every night.
The program went into affect in January. That month, 37 Oxford Street clients were placed in permanent housing. In February that number climbed to 46. In March it increased to 54, and last month 61 people found housing.
"They're packing up their things, they're picking up their bed or their couch, and so that's noticed and we get a lot of people coming in and saying, 'Jim just moved last week, and how did he do that? I want to do that too,'" Oxford Street Shelter Director Josh O'Brien said.
The Point In Time survey also found more people than the city expected were camping rather than using the shelter over the winter. O'Brien says shelter workers are now determining how to address that problem, as the numbers grow over the summer months.

As someone that's taken in Section 8 Chicago trips to Montreal, Toronto, Kansas City, Columbus, Philadelphia, New York and in a month, Portland, I've come to appreciate the character and drive that is inherent in a traveling supporter's blood as they lend their voice to help the Fire on the road.
And while it's amazing to see so many take air trips, bus rides or insanely long travels in a stuffy van for a regular season match, I've also come to appreciate some of the faces I see every year in preseason.
For "The West Wing" aficionados out there, it reminds me of Bradley Whitford's character Josh Lyman trying to get to Port St. Lucie, Fla., for a New York Mets intrasquad game during Season 2's "Stackhouse Filibuster" just so catcher Mike Piazza could say, "Dude" to him.
At this point, if you're not understanding the Sorkinese I'm throwing at you, please meet Ray Cook, the Chicago Fire's very own version of Josh Lyman (more in the sports fan sense).
Ray traveled to Tucson via Amtrak from Chicago and even beat the team here (arriving Friday). I've seen Ray each of the last four preseasons (usually in Charleston, S.C.) but as he says, his tradition of making it out prior to the start of every campaign dates back to 2000 and has taken him to such places as Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Jackson, Miss., New Orleans and Guadalajara, Mexico.
This is why he does it...
You'd have to say with all the snow in Chicago last night (and this winter), he's looking pretty smart.

After two years of being the only #71 in Chicago Fire history, Brazilian midfielder Alex has decided to move to a more traditional soccer number in 2014 and will now wear #7.
Some of the other #7s in Chicago Fire history are below:
DaMarcus Beasley (#7 from 2000-2004)

Logan Pause (#7 from 2007-2008)

Stay tuned throughout the week as we unveil more number switches and choices by the newbies in Fire camp.
The players are back and it's time for pre-season, take a look at some of the shots from today's festivities!
Throughout preseason, your favorite Fire players will give you a first-hand, behind the scenes look at what actually goes down at training camp. This installment is brought to you by Fire defender Gonzalo Segares. Now entering his ninth season with the Fire, Segares shares his veteran methods of handling the inevitable downtime that comes with preseason training camp. Make sure to check www.Chicago-Fire.com for all the action as the Fire kick off their 16th season.
Hello my amigos from the Chicago Fire. It's now time for me to tell you guys a little of what's happening on and off the field for me and my teammates.
We had our first preseason match on Sunday and the atmosphere was great. After a long time without competing in a game, it was great to get back on the field and kick some people. It's been quite a while since I've played against someone other than my teammates, so it was good to get in some tackles and battles.
It's been good to see the new faces working hard, competing and adapting well with the group.
Off the field there has been a lot of down time so I have been playing a lot of Halo in between practices. I'm trying not to nap during the day so I can go to bed early, so I'm usually on the computer, on the phone or transformed as a soldier, killing aliens on Halo.
It's been nice here in Florida but I'm excited to go back to Chicago for a few days and spend the days off with my wife (it's weird to say wife but I guess I have to get used to it) and have a nice romantic dinner and maybe watch a movie with her. I don't think I'll enjoy the cold weather but at least I will be at home with my family.
See you all soon and go Fire!
Gonzalo Segares
Well its the last day of the year and we're aptly left remembering all that went down in the Fire world during 2012.
A new jersey sponsor, a Ring of Fire induction, a 15th Anniversary, playoff qualification and a Rookie of the Year winner are just some of the highlights.
Take a photographic look back on the club's memorable 15th season:
Stay tuned on Tuesday as I give my New Year's Resolutions for the Fire in 2013!

Paul O'Connell knocks out Dave Kearney with clumsy kick to the head
Leinster beat Munster 22-16 at a wet Thomond Park thanks to a late match-winning try by Brian O'Driscoll, but it was an ugly incident in the last quarter that had everyone talking, and could mean a few weeks on the sideline for Paul O'Connell.
The Leinster win meant that they move to second on the RaboDirect Pro12 table, three points behind leaders Ulster. O'Driscoll's try actually came from over 25 phases of possesion, before the Ireland legend dived over from close to seal the win.
Earlier in the game O'Connell, who has been in great form, kicked at the ball with little regard for Dave Kearney, who had his hand on the ball and his head between it and POC's sizable boot.
Kearney left the field unconcious from the blow, and referee Nigel Owens and his officials failed to see it, so O'Connell avoided punishment at the time.
"He was unconscious for a period of time. He's come back around and has probably asked the question 10 times, 'Did I catch it?'" Leinster coach Joe Schmidt told TheScore.
"He's going to be pretty relieved when he sees the footage that he did catch the ball. He's not in great shape at the moment. The main disappointment at the moment is, he has really come on.
"He's played a number of games in a row and was getting into a rhythm. He's likely to miss a few games now. That's probably his biggest frustration," he added.
View a highlights recap from the game on page 2
Clearly dangerous, it was more irresponsible than intentional - what kind of ban will this bring?
UPDATE: O'Connell has escaped sanction after the incident was viewed by citing commissioner Eddie Walsh to be careless and nothing more. It was decided that he was making a genuine attempt to kick the ball, and there was no deliberate intent.

Dangerous play, accidental I hope, a player died from the exact same thing in South Africa..
It is illegal to kick an opponent on the ground in MMA, which is a contact port, I hope you or your loved ones are not the next statistic for something like this.
Paul April 15, 2013 10:18 pm
Kicking a loose ball is not dangerous play. It resulted in a horrible accident but not dangerous play. Players have been paralysed from collapsed scrums, a player died in Texas after being tackled and a kid died in Ireland having taken a couple of heavy hits. Should we wipe scrums and tackling from the game?
I'm all for throwing the book at players who actively endanger the safety of others through dangerous play but this was a simple accident that happened within the rules of the game. Once a ball is placed it is fair game. That's a key fundamental of the game.
Not sure what point bringing myself and my friends and family serves.
BigBoot April 14, 2013 11:48 pm

You just can't imagine him doing it deliberately - its not his style at all - and yet it looks so clear cut.
One thing - Kearney was already at least winded and groggy when he hit the ground hand. (and then he took that boot to the head!)
Moment of complete madness by POC.
matt April 15, 2013 1:41 am
I also enjoy how RD asks us to guess at the ban length, like even the most informed of pundits has any clue what the citing bodies would award for anything nowadays, never mind when it's the leading candidate for the Lion's captaincy.

The head of a rugby player is supposed to be 'sacrosanct' - it shouldn't be exposed to kicks.
Hopefully the officials will clamp down on the player in question - his recklessness could have caused serious injury.
ban estimation: considering the bans in place for tip-tackles about 6 weeks?
Guy April 15, 2013 8:57 am
Not sure it's on purpose but something this stupid deserves a ban anywat. My guess: 4 weeks. Which will be reduced to two since he will plead guilty and will show remorse.

Quite incredible that the linesman on Owens don't even notice it.....
so as there was no sanction on the pitch, a ban should be necessary. but like said before, we'seen that bans are often a political thing... Even more now, with the future lions selections
andy April 15, 2013 11:54 am
He's not the cleanest of players, but that's not the type of player he is.

Unfortunately the arm chair warriors are out in force, POC has all of a sudden become one of the dirtiest players on the planet. He has always been a hard player (not a lot of point having a soft second row) but he has not been dirty as such.
Between a rock and a hard place, huge POC fan but even though he was clumsy, I don't see it as malicious. Probably a ban, but a short one. Kearney seems to be ok , so lucky there as well.

Irish ossie. First his was taken out in the air by a clumsy tackle. So that was a penalty outright. Then kick to head but u go on bout the rucking? Having played some junior rugby for fun id be happy to see proper rucking come back in. If your going to slow down the play and put yourself in that position then you deserve to be rucked out of it. Not condoning stamping but the art of raking an opponent to let him know to cop on and wont get away with.
Have to ask yourself, if leo cullen did that and it was simon zebo on the other end of it would it have been talked up differently? A man with no chance of making the lions but equally as committed to providing the grit forvhis team.
Anyone remember the shane jennings incident with nick Kennedy a few years back. Got banned for weeks for gouging an opponent who later stated that he hadn't made contaxt with the eye area and was said in the heat of the match? No one cried out for justice as he wasn't going on the lions tour whereas quinlan was

Anyway, moving on. As I said I don't think POC is your nasty second row type, however that doesn't help me out when it comes to deciding on a punishment for this. I would guess it was clumsy/accidental, however I think it's probably important to make a mountain out of this and punish hard to discourage others from taking a swipe at the ball in a similar situation. Perhaps a bit like spear tackles etc, we're just seeing them ALL being hammered so that there is less risk of injury.

It seems to be a bit strange that BOD got a fairly decent ban for his superficial stamp in the 6N, where as POC is let off with nothing for what was a quite serious, but probably accidental, incident here.
cheyanqui April 15, 2013 4:07 pm
Making contact with a player's head, "Outcome" should trump "intent". Kicking at a ball that is still CLEARLY IN POSSESSION of the ball carrier (under his arm and placing it) is a questionable act -- and if the outcome results in a head injury -- should have gotten the book.
Now for my troll -- imagine how quickly POC (and all the other Munster loudmouths who don't wear captain's armbands) would have been in the ear of the referee if it happened to his team. At least he did look concerned for the guy.
tom April 15, 2013 7:26 pm
D Kearney is NOT CLEARLY IN POSESSION of the ball because (1) he is on the ground and it is illegal for him to be is posession of the ball and (2) it is free play - no ruck formed. He is entitled to place his hand on the ball but not to impede any other player from taking it or playing it. O'Connell makes contact with the ball with his toe to and connects with Kearneys head with his chin. Citing commissioner saw it that way also. None of this would have arisen if a yellow card was given which is all it was. No citing because it wasn't a red card offence. Fellas throwing the knickers off themselves because an injury was received to the head doesn't help.
Troll all you like. But before you do, PLEASE educate yourself because you clearly do not know what you're talking about. Paying for a ticket doesn't entitle you to troll or shout down anybody. Actual knowledge of the game does.
Facepalm April 15, 2013 9:42 pm
cheyanqui April 15, 2013 11:51 pm
I guess my point was that it's one thing for both players trying to gain possession (think of a "50-50 ball" if you will), and one dives for it head first, while another goes to kick it.
If that were the case, I might say "bad luck".
But in this case, Kearney clearly held the ball, and was placing it down to release it.
He shouldn't expect to get kicked in the head.
cheyanqui April 15, 2013 11:48 pm
Kearney gathered the ball and had control of it.
He was bumped in the air, and fell to ground, and was in the process of placing it.
No tackler held him, so not a tackle.
No players from opposing teams formed around him, so no ruck formed.
No Munster player came over the top and try and strip it, so no obligation for Kearney to release the ball
Per Law 14.1(a) – a player on the ground must immediate do one of three things – get up, pass the ball, release the ball. Kearney was clearly in the process of doing so, so I don't think he was infringing.
The way I see it,
Kearney was complying with the law.
POC violated 10.4(c) – "A player must not kick an opponent"
So maybe my use of the term "possession" is a little imprecise (it is defined in the IRB Laws of the Game as a player "… carrying the ball"). But I generally have a pretty decent grasp of the law.
As for my "troll" – it was simply a comment about the habits of certain pro players who always get in the ears of the ref on every single play—almost emulating footballers.
My troll was not directed at the comments made by any previous posters.

But I think that was the red herring that distracted Owens and the ARs. Maybe they thought he was knocked out by the hit, and/or the players were yelling about that.
But looking at the PRO12 rules on their website, it seems they cannot go to the TMO for foul play. Is that right?
What a crazy-quilt of rules we have across competitions -- H-Cup has foul play TMO, but Amlin doesn't?

DrG April 15, 2013 9:14 pm
"there was no deliberate intent." - Ok, brilliant, I totally agree with that sentiment... But wait, haven't players in the past been banned for high tackles, spear tackles, tip tackles, etc when apparently there has been "no deliberate intent"...
So POC tried to kick the ball and kicks a head and it's careless.... Someone dodges into a tackle and I take their head off by accident and it's "reckless, unintentional" and I still get a ban...
Again, I'm not suggesting that there was in any way something darker and nastier to this incident, I think it's clear as day it was an accident. I just think, shouldn't players be discouraged from kicking the ball in perhaps a very risky situation.. I don't want to jump on the "what if" bandwagon, but people, in the past have actually died from kicks to the head (in fights on the streets etc) so wouldn't THIS type of thing be far more important to investigate that a tip tackle where a player goes JUST past the horizontal and the tackler gets banned...

Kearney was not in control of the ball. Once he hit the deck and presented it back the ball was live. There was no ruck formed so POC was totally within his rights to play the ball. The fact he kicked Kearney in the process was unfortunate but did not break any rules of the game.
Say a loose ball is hacked through and two players go for it. Player A tries to dive on the ball and player B tries to kick it through. Player B connects with the ball but in the process kicks player A in the head and knocks him out. Should player B be cited? Because despite the circumstances this and the POC incident are both the same under the laws of the game.

I've played, coached and refereed the sport and one of the key fundamentals is the ability to contest a live ball. Once Kearney placed that ball it was no longer in his possession and free for POC to contest. What he did was reckless and might have warrented a yellow card but it was not a red and therefor not open to being cited for it.

Nick Groom kicks Pretorious. Should he be cited and banned.
Here's POC kneeing BOD. Again should he be cited and banned.
You are not allowed to kick an opponent if it is an act of foul play outside the natural course of the game. Like with say O'Gara in Scotland. But players get kicked all the time during a game. At the bottom of rucks, trying to block kicks, trying to kick loose balls and on and on.
Hell Kearney's foot makes contact with Jones chest when he catches the ban. Lets cite and ban him too. The kick was an accident. No intent and it happened in the natural course of the game. Hence one of the best referee's in the game and the citing commissioner, who are much more versed in the ins and outs of the laws ruled in POC's favour.
TotesMcGoates April 16, 2013 2:03 am
Looking forward to your next essay.

No need for an essay because you've said nothing that actually counters the points I've raised.

In reply to your post where you provided some links...are you slightly lacking in your mental abilities?
How are either one of those in anyway like POC's kick...
Pretorious was charging down the ball (and subsequently stealing it) and BOD was unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. Neither showed any recklessness.
Actually this whole thing sort of reminds me of Jerry Flannery's kick on a French player years ago which; wait for it, was down as "reckless rather than deliberate."
Read all about it: http://forum.rugbydump.com/showthread.php?6360-Jerry-Flannery-kick-on-Alexis-Palisson&p=13256#post13256
Paul April 17, 2013 1:52 am
Those links were provided as part of a wider conversation. I wasn't using them to compare to the POC incident. They were in reference to a point made that you can never kick, intentionally or unintentionally, an opponent. They were provided to show that rules are not all black and white.
Now that I've joined the dots for you lets get to Flannery. The difference is that POC was kicking at a ball that was there to be kicked legally. Flannery was was about 5 seconds too late with his kick and a case could easily be made for intent. France could very well have scored had he not totalled Palisson.
DrG April 17, 2013 12:15 pm
Now onto Flannery, despite being about half an hour too late, he too was kicking at a ball he was legally allowed to boot. Now no denying POC was legally allowed to put his boot to the ball, however, it was done recklessly, he kicked Kearney's head BEFORE he kicked the ball, or did you miss that part? So in short: unintentional, but reckless... Try reading it out aloud, it might sink in better!
Paul April 17, 2013 7:58 pm
The timing plays a huge role in the discussion. Flannery had more than enough time to realise the ball was not there to be kicked anymore.
With POC it's maybe half a second and a few millimetres out from being entirely legal kick. In a game such as rugby you have to give a little leeway. I've said before it was reckless and that he deserved to spent 10 minutes in the bin but I don't think it was worthy of a red card and therefor not a cite-able offence.
DrG April 17, 2013 11:49 pm
But because it was a few millimetres out and half a second late it was not a legal kick? Therefore it was illegal? Therefore deserved of a penalty? And as a result of an illegal kick to the head, a red card. However seeing as no red card was issued during the game, a subsequent ban should have been issued for at least 1 week....
I totally agree that when you see this incident which I truly believe was accidental, it's hard to conjure up thoughts of a red card and a ban, because as I said, it was accidental, but the laws are there not only to govern a "fair game" but also to protect the players, and fly hacking at a loose/semi-loose ball, and striking someone in the head FIRST, shows a huge lack of restraint from O'Connell. I'd still suggest a ban if only to get players to perhaps think in that split second about what they're doing... I hate to do the whole melodramatic shit but, a win is definitely what everyone is after, but at the cost of another players career through injury etc? I don't think any player feels that the game is that big... Apart from Bakkies...
DrG April 20, 2013 7:13 pm
I personally tend to view red cards as something given to the most deliberate heinous acts, so it's hard to see one givn here, but then I hate seeing cards given for tip tackles when little, o no danger is apparent...
Instinctively I'd say, "accident, pick the guy up, tell POC not to be such a oaf, get on with the game" but because of the way the sport has changed now I feel like a red card could, perhaps should, have been shown.
I know you don't like the talk of spear tackles in this topic, however I just feel that whole duty of care thing, or responsibility of the tackler, maybe should play out here...
Then again, players have in the past had their faces stepped on out of pure accident and the boot owner has not been sent off, so perhaps it's just one of those things..
Paul April 18, 2013 12:21 am
If he was swinging at a ball that wasn't there to be kicked then it's a red card, x week ban and move on. But the ball was there to be played and he went after it legally. Thats a key fundamental of the game. Should he have stood back and let Leinster retain possession?
I'm all for player safety but I don't think POC crossed a line here. He went in recklessly but legally. The contact he made deserved a yellow card but it was not a sending off offence.
DrG April 16, 2013 12:28 pm
Whether Kearney had the ball or not is another matter than is clearly debatable, however again you clearly miss the point and score another 10 points. What I am talking about is 'recklessness' many players have been banned for it in the past even when they were 'well within their rights.' THIS is undoubtably reckless from POC, agreed there was NO INTENT to injure (which counts for SFA) but reckless use of the boot meant he kicked a player (which as you have been told is illegal) - à la BAN, to encourage people to be a little more careful.

cheyanqui April 16, 2013 2:07 am
Kearney does not actually release the ball until he was KTFO.
So through either fact pattern, POC arrives at the same sanction:
1. Kearney releases the ball because he was KTFO by POC, and then POC's own follow subsequently makes contact with the ball. because he struck a player first -- PK -- and red card -- against Munster.
2. POC wanted the ball to be presented to him by a player who did not immediately release it to him. PK against Leinster for not releasing the ball. PK reversal -- and red card -- for POC taking the law into his own hands.
Jean-Luc April 16, 2013 8:18 am
I don't want my kids to feel like hitting a head in the process of trying to legally recover a ball is an act of fair play, let alone the pure obvious safety aspects. He could and should have recovered the ball by stepping over Kearney. What a poor call.
You get 12 weeks for spitting (outraging and deserved without questions, but not against anyone's safety) because of fair play. Not caring for your folks isn't a great choice.
Frenchie April 17, 2013 1:02 am
So you can kick your opponent in the head and get away with nothing? not even a yellow?

To me it looks like reckless/careless injury causing play that was clearly avoidable - so I reckon he should've been cited. Maybe he would've been found not guilty but a citing sends a message that more care is required in the future.

BGA Extra – Jets at Lions
Disclaimer: All analysis was taken from the TV coverage, so at times it may have been hard to identify players or what was happening, because I was limited by their footage. However, I have tried to be as accurate as possible and apologize for any inaccuracies or omissions (which I am happy to correct).
Before we move on to look ahead to the Browns game, it's time to take a final look back at the win over Detroit on Sunday. After the jump, I respond to your questions from the comments in the original BGA post, which you can access here if you missed it.
I like the fact that on several good running plays this year [Braylon Edwards] has been throwing some blocks to help spring the runner. Not all wide receivers do that effectively. I'd also like to see more three receiver sets with Keller in at TE. I'd be curious to know how many times we've done that and how effective it was when we did it. – LCG
It depends on the opponent. Against New England, they were certainly more successful running the ball from 3-wide sets, but against Buffalo, they ran better with extra tight ends or fullbacks in the game. It's nice to have an offense with the personnel to do both, especially when some teams have the personnel to do neither.
On Sunday, the 3-wide with Keller at TE was all they ran from 4:26 to go in the fourth until Holmes catch put them in range. That's 17 plays in a row and included 3 runs for 14 yards and a TD (Sanchez).
Prior to that, they used it 11 times and ran once from the formation, on 2nd and 19 for a 10 yard gain. This was definitely by design, because both fullbacks were effective when they were in the game.
When you guys do BGA, check out the pass plays in the beginning of the game i feel like we didnt throw the ball farther than 5 yard in the whole first quarter it was all slants and screens. I was really hoping for something to stretch the field, I mean we ran the ball up the middle or threw a slant every time both safetys were up but we wouldnt take a shot. – cmonleon
There were actually only six passes thrown by the Jets in the first quarter, because Detroit held the ball for over nine minutes. Sanchez was 3-for-6 for 13 yards. The three incompletions were a comebacker to Edwards 10 yards downfield, a quick slant to Cotchery and a quick out to Edwards about 10 yards downfield.
Although they didn't throw downfield in the first quarter, that changed over the course of the game, as they threw 15 passes more than ten yards downfield. They obviously decided not to take any chances downfield in the first quarter. I'd liken this to when they used to use a color-code system to reign in Sanchez. Although they don't use the system any more, Sanchez had either been told that he needed to take care of the ball in the early stages, especially after they fell behind, or made that decision on his own. It looked like an unspoken "red", but whether that was self-imposed or part of the gameplan is anyone's guess.
Another factor is that teams are flooding the box to make the short and intermediate routes tougher to read. This means that the cornerbacks can play off their man to take away the long passes as well. What this means is that there are one-on-one matchups to be exploited, but you need to make quick throws to get that going. Eventually, this will set up some downfield stuff later on, as the cornerbacks have to play their man more honestly.
With Keller blocking better this year, wouldn't a simple base package of two wides, Keller, FB and either Greene/LT in the backfield [be successful?] From this package you can run or in the case of 8-9 in the box release Keller with three in pattern off of the play action with FB for protection and LT/SG releasing as the outlet. Maybe Bent can shed some light on the running game to see if Adding Hartsock or Hunter to the package makes it to predictable or in they pass from that package too limited? – The other Tom B
They used two RB, two WR and one TE formations more than any other, although three WR, one back, one TE formations were close behind, albeit only because they went to the three-wide set 17 times in a row at the end of the game. Other formations only made up 21% of the offense.
The difference between Hartsock/Hunter as compared with Keller is that they will stay in to block much more often than Keller, so when they come into the game, it isn't necessarily always to run block. On the year, Keller has only stayed in to block 1% of the time and on 2% of pass plays, because he either run blocks or runs a route. With Hunter in, you might be surprised to learn that the Jets actually pass 35% of the time. With Hartsock in, the percentage of passes is slightly lower (31%), but his role is less predictable because he runs a route on 63% of passes and stays in to block on 37%.
Why don't they pass to Edwards and Holmes more often? Why not play Holmes more? I like Cotchery but he's having a terrible year. – Brandon
They've already made a move in that direction. On Sunday, Braylon had 65 snaps, Holmes 56 and Cotchery 48. Also, Holmes was thrown to nine times, Edwards seven and Cotchery just five. They mustn't forget Cotchery altogether though. We know how good he can be and a return to form will galvanize the offense.
Given how many times the running back gets stuffed, the Jets O-line must not be run blocking as well as last year. – Brandon
The running game got stuffed plenty last year too. They were just forced to stick with it because they couldn't rely on Sanchez and they broke more long runs. On the whole, no, they haven't blocked as well and the two biggest culprits have been Brandon Moore and Nick Mangold. Moore has been inconistent and Mangold, while good, has been nowhere near as dominant as last year, although that's at least partially attributable to him working his way through some injuries. Tony Richardson has actually been better, although he is still pretty inconsistent.
Did you notice if when Sanchez holds the ball forever any of his wideouts ever look to bail him out by coming back to him or do they just sit deep? – Jason
You don't always get a good view of this from the TV footage, but my sense is that with linebackers and safeties playing underneath and cornerbacks often playing off their man, Sanchez is reluctant to throw to anyone with a defender nearby. As for the receivers, you obviously want some of them to go deep to clear some of the defenders out and create room. If everyone comes back to the ball, that doesn't make life any easier. Holmes has a solid reputation for freelancing once a primary option is covered, but the Jets haven't exploited that much, although there was one play when Sanchez stepped up and found him over the middle.
Any chance Kyle Wilson is inactive next week? I kind of think they may as well give McKnight a chance to return punts at this point. – Jason
When I saw that Wilson fumbled, I didn't expect to see him again that day, but they gave him another shot and he even made an appearance on defense (on both occasions showing blitz but then dropping into coverage). Beyond that, I'd be guessing, but that was certainly a thought that went through my mind at the time.
Any chance Santonio will get a chance to return punts? I think he was lobbying for a chance back in camp. – Santon10holmes
Nice idea, but I think they'll just retain Leonhard in that role for most of the time. If the team punting is backed up, then that's when they might give him a shot, if they're prepared to risk it.
It seems as though each game has one receiver that receives most of the targets, especially in the first half. I would think we would move the ball around more. Was Edwards consistently the only open receiver or was there a match up we were determined to try to exploit?
– jmike
The primary option tend to be a guy in single coverage. It seemed like they rolled the safety support over to Edwards' side after he was targeted five times in the first half. Holmes was then targeted six times in the second half. Another example was last week, where Santonio Holmes was 3-43 in the first half and then shut out the rest of the way (albeit with some drops). Overall, the targets have been pretty evenly spread, so I think any perceived imbalance is a product of the matchups they are looking to attack.
Keller seems to have given up a lot of targets to Holmes return. I wouldn't have guessed that. I would have thought Cotchery would have lost the most targets but his have seemed to actually have increased with Edwards seemingly staying about the same. Has Holmes return significantly changed our offensive set counts and is Keller a receiving option on less plays or our other teams just doing a better job of taking him away? – jmike
Teams have definitely become more aware of Keller and giving him more attention. Most teams have been using zone packages to counter him, although he was able to exploit one-on-one coverage from Julian Peterson at the end of the game. Keller actually had 15 catches for 226 yards in the first 2.5 games and has 15 catches for 221 in the last 5.5 games. His targets have dropped from 6.5 per game pre-Holmes to 5.3 since he arrived. As noted above, Cotchery's playing time and looks decreased this week. Prior to that, he had been getting more looks since Holmes arrived, presumably because he is now seeing more single coverage.
About our RBs…there are those who say/think LT is slowing down…I dont think so…RBs usually need to be fed the ball to get going in full stride…but over the past 4 games i feel that we've been a pass happy team…especially the past 2 games…we have to stick to the run and we will see LT and GREENE light things up…and we'll be the # 1 rushing team in the league again – dakar
Tomlinson broke 15 tackles in the first five games, then didn't break another until the fourth quarter in week nine. So, maybe he is slowing down. His yards per carry have dipped too. Whereas Thomas Jones (who this week was 19-32 with a fumble) operates best when averaging 20 carries, it seems Tomlinson's carries are usually around 15 per game and I don't think he'd benefit from getting more looks. So, more Shonn Greene is perhaps the answer, but the running game was pretty pedestrian these last two weeks, so I don't think running more would have helped.
We play a lot better and so does Sanchez when we run the ball 40 times a game rather then throwing it 40 times a game…1st 4 games we ran it equal to or more then passing it and sanchez threw for 8 TDs and no INTs…the past 4 games we threw it more and sanchez has 2 TDs to 5 INTs…we need to go back to what works…and not force sanchez to win games for us – dakar
The game is going to dictate whether or not you can run 40 times. Against Baltimore, they only ran 49 PLAYS because they kept getting stopped. If you're moving the ball and making long drives, then you can run it a lot, but you need a balanced attack to get to that point. In terms of "going back to what works", the running game hasn't been working in the last few weeks (per both Rex and Schottenheimer), so passing to loosen the defensive front and then run the ball would appear to be the smart approach.
[Please look at] the amount of patterns/pass attempts broken down by depth. Without watching the game again, it seemed that the first 3 quarters, with a few exceptions, every pass pattern was run/thrown to within 10 yards. – They Chose Me
As noted above, they seemed to use the short passing to set up some downfield stuff later on, which the breakdown will show was successful. (Remember, Sanchez was 0-7 on 20+ yarders a few weeks ago).
Behind the line of scrimmage – 4-5-13 yards
0-9 yards – 9-16-63 yards
10-19 yards – 6-10-130 yards
20+ yards – 3-5-130 yards, 1 TD, 1 interception
Other (ie Spike, thrown away, batted down) – 0-3-0 yards
When there are 12 players on the field in the endzone, why don't they run out of the BACK of the endzone, instead of all the way across the field? – They Chose Me
I can answer this one:
From the NFL rules:
Players leaving the game must be out of bounds on their own side, clearing the field between the end lines, before a snap or free kick. If player crosses end line leaving field, it is delay of game (five-yard penalty). (Note: the end line is not the goal-line, it's the back of the endzone.)
Blockhead play of the day — Leonhard. Culprit on one of those two burned TOs. You're right near the goal line and need to come out. Leonhard is supposed to be so heady. Instead of running right out the end zone (and then circling back around to the bench) or running right along the yard stripe to get out of bounds with time running out, Leonhard decides to run just outside the hash marks then turn and start running on an angle upfield, IN BOUNDS, towards the bench!!!! Get out of bounds, you fool! In football, like in life, Jim, the shortest distance between two points is A STRAIGHT LINE!! That TO burned was squarely on JL's head. – miketaliaferro
Yep, someone wasn't paying attention in trigonometry class.
What specifically led to Coleman being burned throughout the game. Was he getting beat physically, athletically or was there nothing he could do because Burleson just had a great game? And after evaluating the film, do you think Coleman could be our nickel CB going forward or should Lowery return to the role? – Nick
A little of everything. As noted in BGA, I felt two of the plays were offensive pass interference, but that suggests a lack of physicality. Had those been called, he would have only been responsible for about 4 catches and 50 yards, which is actually acceptable. He gave up a cushion for a couple of quick slants, but other than that, he didn't look as bad as he did at the end of last year. Lowery, Wilson and Cole could all challenge for reps. At least they have options.
The running game has been subpar the last few weeks. What do you think is chiefly responsible for this? Everyone is saying that teams are just putting eight or nine men in the box, but I think teams did that early in the year as well and it didn't stop the running game then. – MEL31602
Yes, since the Denver game, teams have been stacking the box and daring Sanchez to throw into the teeth of their zone packages. Last year's running game was very boom or bust, especially at the start of the year, where they were routinely getting stuffed in the first half, but kept winning games because Sanchez was good on third downs. I'm hoping that the balance will shift to more Shonn Greene later on in the season, because that will be better suited towards wearing down the defense and getting some big plays later on in games. The cohesiveness of the line is a factor too, as touched upon higher up.
It seems that the hurry-up allowed Sanchez to find his rhythm late in the game. Is there any evidence that it also stopped the Lions from making substitutions, thereby allowing us more flexibility in our O? – Ben Nevis
Detroit doesn't make a lot of substitutions, other than rotating their linemen. At one point, two lineman ran over to the sideline to get a breather, but only one replacement made it onto the field, so Corey Williams had to hustle back into position. So, they were able to substitute, but it did have a minor effect. Since the Jets were not substituting either, and kept the same formation, the defense was already aligned correctly to match up with them.
It seems that when opposing Ds stack the box against us to stop the run, the no-huddle might be an effective counter, forcing that D to keep one set of personnel on the field, and allowing us to throw off their game plan—what are your thoughts on this, Bent? – Ben Nevis
That's fine if they're driving, but what if they just go three-and-out? I did think that Sanchez seemed comfortable and the offense found a rhythm, so that would be the reason I'd use it at some point.
Before the season began, I said on these threads that the one hole in our D was at safety—that we needed a solid cover safety to replace Rhodes. Given the problems Leonhard has had in coverage and the rather unexceptional season Pool has had thus far, have you seen evidence that safety is a problem for us in terms of coverage? – Ben Nevis
Yes, I suggested the same thing all season and was told that Rhodes was terrible and that I should stop making excuses for him. (Apology accepted!) In a slightly different role with the Cards, Rhodes has made a lot more big plays, but tons of bad errors, too. It seems he was being used in the most efficient way after all. That's Pool's role now and he has been – as you say – unexceptional. But that's fine for this defense. Leonhard has struggled in coverage, but has tackled more often and with much greater consistency too. The safeties are not as good as last year, but they might be better value for money.
Coleman stunk it up big time against the Lions. He seemed unable to get his head around, or to stay with his man. Sometimes he just looked lost out there, as on the TD he gave up. Has Coleman been significantly and consistently better than this in previous games? And if so, any idea why he played so poorly against the Lions? – Ben Nevis
Yes, Coleman had a few good games earlier in the year. Burleson is not a good matchup for him, obviously.
I know there was post-game talk about how the game plan was 'ground & Pound' for the first 3 3/4 quarters, but was it? … Does the play breakdown indicate a balance, or a tilt to running in that period? I didn't keep count, but it still seemed that the Jets lack confidence in their running game. – Mark
They passed 42 times and ran 34 times, but until they went into their no-huddle it was 29 runs and 28 passes.
Every now and then Brodney Pool flashes with a big play but, I haven't noticed him much, this season. Is he soft or is he just silently doing his job? – Harvlis
He's pretty much silently doing his job. Maybe he is "soft" but that shouldn't come as any kind of surprise because he's been that way his whole career. I still have no idea where that "unnamed GM" that said he was a big hitter was coming from.
Who was the culprit on the 12 men penalties? Rex downplays it, but it seems to happen on a weekly basis. Losing timeouts is going to hurt us if it continues. – johnsec125
The problem is that the goalline package includes several backups. Guys like Ihedigbo and the offensive linemen are coming in and guys that hardly ever leave the field like Bart Scott and Antonio Cromartie are coming out. Someone screwed up, but the coaches must take part of the blame. It's Leonhard's job, I believe, to count heads.
WHY can't this team get to the quaterback? Although Stafford was sacked twice, on most plays he had enough time for a sandwich. – johnsec125
A couple of reasons:-
– Teams are leaving extra guys in to block
– They didn't send as many blitzes this week
– Quarterbacks are getting rid of the ball quickly
– The defensive linemen don't win one-on-one matchups
Even so, they have 18 sacks, 25 hits and 78 pressures. Way more than their opponents and pretty much exactly on course to match last year's numbers (34, 50, 130).
Who's Gholston? – johnsec125
Maybe I need to update my thoughts on that. He did flash this week and I wonder if that will earn him more reps once they review the film.

Police have arrested a motorist who they say is responsible for a car accident that killed 38-year-old Jimmy Sinisi early Saturday morning.
James Celauro, 23, of Ozone Park, is charged with vehicular manslaughter and DWAI, or driving while impaired by alcohol, authorities said.
Celauro crashed his 2006 Ford sedan into Sinisi's 2001 Saturn around 1 a.m. in Howard Beach on November 30, according to police. He entered an intersection at 159th Avenue and 98th Street and struck Sinisi, police said.
Sinisi, of Ridgewood, was pronounced dead on arrival.
Also known as Marvin Gardens, Sinisi was a musician and a member of the band Wordy Bums, according to the group's Facebook page.
Celauro is in stable condition, authorities said.

If you want to help the environment and in addition begin to eat healthier you really should think about buying locally grown foods. When you end up purchasing locally grown foods you will not only be helping the environment but you are also able to end up helping your overall health. When you can come across locally grown foods that are also organic you will be doing even more for your health and the planet. In the following paragraphs we are going to explain why this can be such a good choice and why it is really healthier for you.
Since most of the local farmers also eat what they produce, many of them do not use harmful chemicals on their crops. You might of course be capable of finding farmers which grow every thing naturally so you know there will be no nasty chemicals on your food. The best option is to contact the local farmer personally and ask them about how precisely they grow their crops, whether or not they use chemicals or if it's done naturally. Organic farming is in fact becoming more and more popular with local farmers. The meats as well as poultry you take in are also some things you may want to make sure is organic and natural. By ingesting these types of organic foods you will not be adding any kind of unsafe chemicals to your body.
Your health and well-being isn't the only element that is impacted when you purchase local. You'll be helping the the earth in more ways than one. If you buy your foods from local farmers you'll not be adding to all the pollution produced by transporting these foods across the United States. I know you know that our planet is getting increasingly more polluted each day. This kind of pollution has begun targeting our planet and has also begun to impact our ozone layer, not to mention, has caused illnesses for a lot of men and women. Acquiring locally grown foods might appear to be just a little step but you must remember, that is where it all starts.
Check this out…it shows the process from farm to farmer's market! Cool stuff!
Now it is not just about reducing fuel pollution, all the nasty chemicals that are sprayed all over the produce around the United States. These kinds of chemical compounds are poisons which have been developed to only effect insects, but it doesn't matter how you look at it they are spraying toxins on our food. And also, since this is sprayed on the crops, you know that this is also going directly into our air. Furthermore let's keep in mind that the soil where the chemicals are being sprayed is additionally getting effected. Even when you clean off the produce you purchase in the grocery stores, some of the chemical substances have still seeped into the produce and you'll end up consuming them.
The quantity of pollution can be dramatically reduced if every person on the planet ended up buying their foods from local organic and natural farmers. Also your overall health usually improves by not ingesting any of those foods which have been sprayed with all those chemical compounds. And just to repeat everything I previously stated, every little bit can certainly help both your health as well as the planet.

As state, federal, and global governments accelerate their drive to eradicate private gun ownership in the United States, some local lawmakers are bravely standing up for the Second Amendment.
In Madison County, Tennessee (Jackson is the county seat), the county commission will consider such a proposal when it meets on Tuesday, February 19.
The measure is called the Madison County Second Amendment Preservation Resolution and it holds all attempts by the federal government to abridge the right to keep and bear arms in Madison County as "null and void and of no effect."
Citing the intent of the Founders and the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, the resolution directs the county sheriff "to prevent the enforcement of any federal acts, laws, orders, rules, or regulations in violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States."
Sheriffs nationwide are being called on to halt the federal gun grab at their counties' borders.
In a statement made to the Jackson Sun, Madison County Sheriff David Woolfork (shown above) said that he and his fellow sheriffs across the Volunteer State would continue to uphold their duty to protect the Second Amendment.
"I certainly support the Second Amendment and defend the Constitution of Tennessee," Woolfork said. "I will uphold the oath I have taken five times."
Woolfork noted that the Tennessee Sheriff's Association stands behind his firm resolve to defend the right to keep and bear arms. The organization's website declares: "The Sheriffs of Tennessee are strong supporters of the 2nd Amendment rights of their citizens and have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution of the State of Tennessee, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the laws and ordinances of their counties and will fulfill that oath."
Commissioner Jerry Bastin co-authored the resolution, and he told the Jackson Sun that he felt compelled to act as the issue of gun control is gaining momentum. He reported that many of his fellow commissioners share his concern about the coming gun grab.

People gathered inTunceli, to pay a final tribute to Sakine Cansiz who was assassinated in Paris last week. The growing crowd of participants, men and women adorned in white scarves, a symbol of peace, marched in a funeral many in Turkey feared would turn into a violent protest. The three women, one of them Sakine Cansiz, a co-founder of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), were found fatally shot, at least three times in their heads, at a Kurdish centre in Paris last week. French police were hunting the unknown assailants. AFP PHOTO/BULENT KILIC (Photo credit should read BULENT KILIC/AFP/Getty Images)

Clambakes vary up and down the New England coast. In Maine you might find chicken and hotdogs, on Cape Cod a whole fish, in other places crabs. One famous clambake held for over 100 years by the "Friends" from Allen's Neck in Westport, MA, features tripe that's braised and wrapped in little foil packages. "In this recipe," says White, "I add Portuguese sausage, which is common around the 'South Coast' area of Massachusetts and Rhode Island."
YIELD: Makes 4 servings
- 2 pounds medium new potatoes, red or white
- 4 ears corn, husked
- 2 pounds soft-shelled steamer clams, scrubbed
- 1 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and beards removed
- 1 pound Spanish-style chorizo or linguiça, cut crosswise into 4 pieces (andouille or smoked kielbasa sausage can be substituted)
- 4 (1 to 1 1/4 pound) live lobsters
- 5 large eggs
- 4 large mesh bags (such as onions or citrus fruit come in) or 4 pouches made from several wide layers cheesecloth
- Kitchen twine
- Large pot (5 or more gallons) with tightly-fitting lid
- Rockweed (see Chef's Notes, below) or steamer rack
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- Old Bay seasoning
- 4 lemon wedges
Place potatoes in large saucepan; cover with cold water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook just until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
Into each bag or cheesecloth pouch, put: 2 potatoes, l ear corn, 1/4 of steamers, 1/4 of mussels, 1 piece sausage, 1 lobster, and 1 egg. Gather bags or pouches together and tie closed with kitchen twine.
Fill 5-gallon pot with 1 inch of water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add steamer rack or enough rockweed to keep clambakes elevated. Cover and bring to rolling boil.
Gently layer bags in pot. Nestle extra egg in a central position where it's easily retrievable. Cover tightly and steam 15 minutes, maintaining water at full rolling boil. Uncover pot, set aside extra egg, and gently rearrange bags from top to bottom to promote even cooking. Replace egg and re-cover pot.
Steam additional 5 minutes, then retrieve extra egg and crack open. If it's hard-cooked, clambakes are done. If egg is not yet cooked, steam bags an additional 5 to 10 minutes. (If you're unsure, untie one bag and test with another egg). When done, lobsters will be completely red. Transfer each bag to large plate and serve immediately.
To serve, divide melted butter among 4 small cups and season to taste with salt. Ladle some broth from pot into 4 small bowls. Cut open bags. Discard any steamers or mussels that have not opened and loosely arrange food on plates. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning. Place one cup of butter, one dish of broth, and one lemon wedge on each plate. Have bowls for shells and plenty of napkins at the ready.
Chef's Notes: For an outdoor clambake, the food is layered from the longest cooking time (on the bottom) to the shortest. In the indoor version, all ingredients must cook in the same time, so the potatoes are boiled in advance. Rockweed is a seaweed that grows along the shores of the North Atlantic. In traditional clambakes, it's layered over and under the ingredients its seawater-filled pockets burst during cooking, adding moisture and the flavor of the sea. In this version, White uses rockweed to line the pot. If you live near New England, ask your fishmonger to sell you some it's used to pack shellfish, and so is often abundant at seafood markets. If rockweed is unavailable, feel free to use a regular steamer rack instead. "Choose lobsters that weigh 1 to 1 1/4 pounds each," says White. Larger lobsters require extra cooking time, which causes the steamers and mussels to overcook. "The egg in this recipe is a nod to my old friend and bake-master Johnny Stevens, from Boothbay Harbor, Maine," says White. "He taught me to hide an egg in the clambake and crack it open before unveiling the entire bake if the egg is cooked through, the lobsters will be as well."

CANTON St. Lawrence County Treasurer Kevin M. Felt decided against paying the pension bill early to the state for fear it would leave the county cash-poor.
Mr. Felt had intended to pay the $7.3 million pension payment to the state by Dec. 14 for a $60,000 credit, but changed his mind after more careful scrutiny of the countys fiscal condition.
I looked and I might have been able to squeeze through the month, he said. That was the hope.
However, January revenue tends to be slow. Although property tax bills are due by the end of the month, the money does not usually start flowing to county coffers until the early part of February. Local collectors do not turn over the money until they have a fair amount collected, Mr. Felt said.
He is projecting the county will have $4.5 million left at the end of the year, but that does not include the $3 million owed the county by the state in tribal compact funds, bringing the fund balance on paper down to around $1.5 million.
Mr. Felt had wanted the early pension bill payment credit as a way to help lower the cost of the county borrowing $12 million to cover cash flow difficulties in 2013, but decided the bonus was not worth the chance of having insufficient funds.
Im not going to risk not being able to make payroll or not pay our bills, Mr. Felt said. That takes priority.
The $12 million remains the correct amount the county needed to borrow to cover operating expenses in 2013, particularly because of expected shortfalls in the summer, Mr. Felt said.
Theres no doubt we needed that much, he said. I borrowed just what we needed.

Police departments will soon be able to take advantage of better radios that will help officers in various ways. The new radios
can even be programmed to recognize when a particular radio frequency is overloaded with traffic, automatically switching
to an alternative frequency when needed.
Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Cognitive Radio (CR) are two related developments in radio technology. Radios were once built
from analog electronic parts and circuits that handled signal processing. With the advances in digital electronics over the
past few decades, however, radios have more digital parts, making them more like computers. This switch to digital is important
because digital parts and circuits are usually much less expensive than analog and because an analog system can usually do
only a few tasks, while a digital system can do many, depending on the software it uses.
A software defined radio can send and receive analog voice, digital voice, data, or all three. Its software determines this,
which is why it is called "software defined."
In most modern radios, signal-processing functions near the antenna take place in analog and those near the speaker or microphone
take place digitally. Manufacturing cost, battery life, and needed performance all influence where the boundary between analog
and digital is. However, this boundary has been moving ever closer to the antenna, expanding digital functions while minimizing
analog functions. All modern public safety and cell phone radios are at least partly software defined, meaning they use software-controlled
digital electronic circuits to do most of their internal signal processing. Moreover, they do it with better performance and
at a lower cost than their analog predecessors did. These developments are already familiar to people who have experienced
the technological improvements in present-day cell phones compared to the early models.
Software defined radios offer advantages to the public safety community. For example, they do not require the expert tuning
and adjustment that analog does. Engineers believe this will lower costs.
Some military SDR programs have created the impression that the technology is inherently complex or expensive. This is due
in part to the costs and complexity associated with the early days of any technology (think of the first computers) and because
of the technical approach the military took. For example, the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) is viewed by some
as unnecessarily restrictive, cumbersome, and too expensive for public safety applications. Most civilian software defined
radios do not use SCA.
A software defined radio does most of its signal processing with digital electronics. To its operator, it works just as radios
always have, but is better and less expensive. A cognitive radio is "aware" of its environment, its own powers, and its operator's
needs and privileges. If it can change its performance in useful ways, according to the rules within which it operates, it
is adaptive. If it can "learn" about circumstances that its designer never anticipated, it is cognitive. The boundary between
adaptive and cognitive is hazy. phones are adaptive. Your phone, for example, will first try to find a cell site belonging
to your service provider and connect with that cell site. If that fails, it will find a cell site that it can use under a
roaming agreement.
A cognitive radio is essentially a software defined radio running under the control of an intelligent software package called
a "cognitive engine." The cognitive engine does many things an intelligent human operator would do, freeing real operators
to do their primary jobs.
One application for cognitive radio is dynamic frequency sharing. This is a technique by which radios find and use open frequencies
("white space" in the radio spectrum) or in which radios share channels on the basis of a priority system. In principle, this
would give police access to more spectrum when needed and allow sharing of public safety channels with others during idle
Other potential applications for cognitive radio in public safety are in improving interoperability or in automatic adjustment
of radio performance. A cognitive radio can recognize various signals and configure itself to interoperate with them. It can
recognize difficult situations and take action to counter them. For example, if a police officer is inside a building that
has no public safety radio coverage, the radio may automatically switch to a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) mode and
reach the dispatcher through a WiFi access point and a telephone line. These ideas are research topics now; however, some
of them will soon reach the market.

From troops to Fuji:
Thank you so very much for providing us with ... the camoflouge GIs. These GIs are of great quality, very strong and durable. The other Soldiers in my unit who I train Jiu-Jitsu with were very jealous. These sure beat the traditional white GI and are the perfect fit for this desert setting here in Iraq.
Thanks again.
Sgt Guerra
Camp Cropper, Iraq
"My name is John Renken and I am the chief combatives trainer for Ft. Campbell, KY. I have been using Fuji Gi's for over a year now and this Desert Camo Gi is absolutely top of the line. The quality and durability is second to none and not nearly as expensive as other similar cut Gi's are. If you want to sport a GI that morally supports what our men and women in the Global War on Terror are doing this is the Gi for you."
"Awesome Uniform! It has created quite a buzz at my dojo. The kids absolutely love it. We use it as a special reward for the "warriors" who battle in competition, and as prizes for our VIP contests. It is an excellent tool to motivate and energize students. Thanks for coming out with such a cool gi." J. Pedro
"From my experience as a martial artist, I testify that the uniform looks and feels great. From my observations, soldiers are currently doing combatives using their own military uniform which in terms can be expensive to replace. This camo gi, offers a great option for the soldiers to train with. It also allows them to showcase the fighting skills that they learned at their respective dojos and martial art schools, begging the question, are you in the military?"
LTC Hector Morales, Head Coach, US Armed Forces Judo Team, Level 4 Certified Combatives Instructor
"Glad you guys finally got it right! Everything about it is fantastic."
"This is a cool gi."
"This is no flimsy gi, like so many companies have tried to make."
"I wore my new Fuji Force Camo Gi, and everyone loved it and now we are all ordering the gi."

Carbon High swimmer's swam a double dual against Springville and Juan Diego last night. Here are the results as individual meets.
Krissia Beatty, freshman, broke the Carbon High School record she set last Friday in the 100 Back, bettering her own best time.
Beatty led her team as she placed first in the 100 backstroke and first in the 50 free against both other teams as the Carbon girls dropped both their meets.
Springville beat them 128-77. Juan Diego also posted a win over the Carbon girls 155-52.
The boy's squad didn't fair any better. They lost to Juan Diego 69-135. They also went down to defeat against Springville 43-162.
Tim Neilson had the best finish for the boy's with a second place finish in the 100 back against Juan Diego.
