|Key Info
Hazards Escape is a recently completed, free standing unit, adjacent to the main house, in a quiet setting about 5 minutes drive from the township of Coles Bay.
The unit contains a spacious kitchenette and bathroom. It has queen bed with electric blanket, a comfortable living area which includes a small stereo, tv, and dvd player (and a few DVD's). It even has an old VCR with a collection of videos of classic British comedy's such as "Are You Being Served" and "On the Buses".
The deck at front of unit is semi enclosed for privacy and has an out door setting perfect for enjoying a relaxed and peaceful breakfast or evening glass of wine with an outlook that lingers towards Great Oyster Bay and around to the peaks of the Hazards.
Hazards Escape is a perfect retreat for a couple or a single. Twin accommodation is possible but not highly recommended. The Sofa bed is as good as it can get, but, it is still a sofa bed, and although we love children, we are not particularly set up for them (polished concrete floors are hard on knees! No port-a-cot or bath etc.) So, if you have a little one you are welcome but you will need to bring your own extra's.

The Tasmania region
The stunning Freycinet Peninsula is located on Tasmania's East Coast. Rugged granite peaks rise dramatically from clear blue waters and white sand beaches, the climate is mild and the people are friendly.
Freycinet National Park offers a range of walks, from quick, 10 minute, wheel chair friendly strolls, to 5 day hikes the length of the peninsula. In and around the park, there are kayak tours, sea cruises, 4 wheel motor bikes, fishing, wine tasting, swimming, golf, scenic flights, beach walks and more. Bird watchers are in for a treat and photographers are spoilt for choice.
There is something to do and see here for every age and level of fitness, whether you partake in the activities or just sit back, enjoy the view, and revel in the deliciousness of the local seafood, produce and wine.
Coles Bay
Coles Bay is the gateway to Freycinet National park, home of the world renowned Wineglass Bay. It is a small town, with a mild climate that offers beautiful sunny days, even in the heart of winter (although the nights still get a bit chilly!)
Travelling in the off peak season you can enjoy the spectacular Freycinet National Park and walk the stunning beaches and run a good chance of having the place to your self.
In the summer months, there are alot more people but just as much fun, just be sure to pre book your activities, some of which may include a sea cruise around to Wineglass Bay, Kayak tour around the coves, a 4 wheel motor bike tour, fishing, ora scenic flight.

The shelves pictured here are 213.36cm x 167.64cm x 30.48cm (7 ft wide x 5.5ft tall x 1ft deep) but the sky's the limit. These shelves can be made with double the number of steel pipe risers so it can be freestanding, or the piping can be stripped of its red paint and then would be the dark grey natural steel colour to match the elbow and T-joints and flanges. The scaffolding boards could be substituted for reclaimed floor boards, chunky reclaimed timber of any type, toughened glass, sheet metal, wire grills, railway sleepers etc. I can source anything and gladly will ! You can contact me via the 'ask seller a question' button before the sale, or the 'contact seller' button after the sale. The scaffolding boards pictured in this example were simply brushed down so they retained a gritty raw look, but anything you choose to use can be distressed or polished up to create any required finish. Please contact me to discuss any ideas or obtain quotes. All systems will come with detailed installation and build instructions. They are amazingly easy to put together and install, you just need a regular DIY drill and suitable fixings for the wall they are to be mounted on (or neither of these if you choose a freestanding option). It's just a case of screwing components together in the right order. made from: I love the look of salvaged, unsealed wooden scaffolding boards. This is the finish shown in many of my online product photos. Many people choose to leave it in this state and typically I ship most pieces like this. Unsealed items look lighter coloured in appearance. You can always add a sealant later, or experiment with finishes and seals on the underside of your product to determine your favourite look. Clearly there is a risk of stains from spills or oils with this option but generally this doesn't matter because the planks are already stained and marked. Any areas that you are unhappy with can be sanded with a combination of first 80 grit and then 120 grit sand paper to restore the look and feel. The best method for general cleaning is simply soap and water. dimensions: The shelves pictured here are 213.36cm x 167.64cm x 30.48cm (7 ft wide x 5.5ft tall x 1ft deep). However, these shelves can be made with double the number of steel pipe risers so it can be freestanding if you wish. product code: 268842 This product is dispatched to you by Inspirit.

Mickey Needs You!
by Mitch Elliott
posted Jan 17 2014 4:20PM
Looking for a lap dog? Well, guess what? I'm looking for a lap. I'm easy going, sweet, and I get along with most everyone. No point in you looking any further! I think I'm pretty close to perfect. If you can provide me with daily exercise, routine, and a little bit of training, I think I could be a great match for you. My friends here think I will probably do best in a home with older kids. You know what sounds like fun? Taking a Basic Manners class, like the one here at OHS; training and treats, sounds good to me! I'm one of the lucky ones who came from L.A. County Animal Control to OHS through the Second Chance Program.
The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip ID, collar and OHS I.D. tag, initial vaccines, courtesy veterinarian exam, 30 days free PetPlan health insurance and plenty of post adoption support!

30 Odd Foot of Grunts - Texas (2002)
Critic Consensus: No consensus yet.
Movie Info
30 Odd Foot of Grunts are a meat-and-potatoes roots rock band from Australia who haven't quite reached the pinnacle of international stardom just yet. As a result, several of the members have day jobs to help pay the rent when they're not busy playing music. The lead singer has done just a bit better than his mates in this department -- his name is Russell Crowe, and he's won an Academy Award and become one of the world's most bankable leading men as the star of such films as Gladiator, The Insider, L.A. Confidential, and A Beautiful Mind. When his schedule permits, Crowe still gigs with TOFOG (as many of their fans call them), and in 2001 he met up with his longtime friend and lead guitarist Billy Dean Cochran (with whom Crowe had been making music since the mid-'80s) and their bandmates Garth Adam, David Kelly, Stewart Kriwin, and Dave Wilkins for an intensive round of rehearsals in London, leading up to recording sessions in Austin, TX, for their fifth album, Bastard Life or Clarity, topped off by three packed-to-the-rafters shows at a local beer-and-BBQ joint. Texas is Crowe's self-described "home movie" of the band's stint in the Lone Star State; it allows all six members of members of the group a chance to talk about their life in music, as well as discussing the mixed blessing of having your lead singer become one of the world's biggest film stars not long after he joined the band. … More

Films of Werner Herzog: The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
Program Locations:
Please join us on Wednesday, March 14 at 7 p.m. for Werner Herzog's "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" (1974, 110 min). The screening will take place in the first floor Corner Room of the Mid-Manhattan Library and will be followed by a brief discussion. A full schedule of the Films of Werner Herzog series is available online at: bit.ly/herzog-nypl.
"In Herzog the line between fact and fiction is a shifting one. He cares not for accuracy but for effect, for a transcendent ecstasy. Kaspar Hauser tells its story not as a narrative about its hero, but as a mosaic of striking behavior and images..."
—Roger Ebert, rogerebert.com

" I visited Footwear etc. in San Carlos, CA for the first time yesterday, and it was a great experience. I had a salesman who proceeded to pull up his little chair to fit me in a pair of Earth comfort pumps with about a 2" heel. When I complained of a couple different pressure points, he stretched the shoes in those area--and the problem was gone! Outstanding service, and a fabulous selection of beautiful styles throughout the store. It's quite a distance from where I live; but I'll make the drive in order to have a selection of marvelous looking comfort shoes. Thank you to Jim Wells for such excellent service."

Boy Scouts' Face Increased Pressure Over 'No Gay' Rule
This summer the Boy Scouts of America reaffirmed its longtime policy barring openly gay scouts and leaders. The BSA says that after two years of review, an 11-member subcommittee reached a unanimous decision to uphold the exclusionary practice.
The national scouting organization's leaders have been claiming, ever since a controversial Supreme Court decision in 2000. BSA has been maintaining, in the face of pressure from liberal organizations, LGBT groups, churches and some local governments, that its "no gay" rule for scouts and scout leaders receives broad support among the individual scout troops.
Despite the supposed findings by BSA leaders, it is becoming more and more apparent that more and more of the rank-and-file don't like the policy and are openly defying it.
The BSA is especially alarmed at some of the Boy Scouts' major corporate supporters that are also joining in the ongoing protest. News stories periodically erupt about Gay Eagle Scouts and their straight allies ceremoniously returning their badges. The movement has grown by the hundreds.
Opponents of the ban believe that the policy is discriminatory and contradicts the fundamental principles of scouting. For its part, BSA has continued what some see as a witch hunt to enforce its anti-gay policy. Out scout leaders have been thrown out of the organization.
A Policy in Peril
Many local Boy Scout councils are protesting prejudice not through words but also deeds. They are filing petitions for change. But they're also quietly allowing out-gay scouts and adult leaders.
The recent backlash, led in large part by non-gay scout leaders, indicates that the BSA may not be able to maintain its "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"-style policy much longer.
How long before it is eliminated?

Prep softball: St. John Neumann loses to Moore Haven in district championship game
The St. John Neumann Celtics softball team fell to the Moore Haven Terriers, 6-3, in the Class 3A-District 12 championship on Monday.
The Celtics (13-10) put on their rally caps after a disastrous first inning, but a sixth-inning mishap thwarted the upset attempt.
"This has been a trend during the last half of the season," St. John Neumann coach Andrea Peterson said. "We've been behind and had to battle back. Fortunately, we've had a lot of good hits up and down the order; it hasn't just been one or two hitters."
The Terriers (16-4), who are undefeated in district play this season, rocked the Celtics for four runs — fueled by back-to-back triples — in the opening inning.
Needing a spark after allowing five first-inning hits, St. John Neumann responded with a pitching change, subbing Michele Peterson onto the mound.
"Our starter wasn't hitting the spot she needed to hit," Andrea Peterson said. "She warmed up excellent, but the nerves of the championship game got to her a little bit."
Michele Peterson ravaged the Terriers' hitters for the remainder of the game, as she struck out eight batters and allowed just five hits. The junior also took away crucial Moore Haven opportunities by snagging several line drives out of the air around the pitcher's mound.
"I find pitching and defense go hand-in-hand," she said. "Once you pitch, you're another infielder out there. It doesn't matter what happened to the pitch, you've just got to react."
The Celtics, down 4-0, found their offensive stride in the third inning. Allison Denison and Michele Peterson were walked to put runners on first and second. Sophomore center fielder Elizabeth Ullrich tripled to bring both girls home.
Camie Renner followed with an RBI single, bringing the Celtics within one run of the Terriers. However, St. John Neumann — following a single and a walk — stranded three runners on base to end the inning. The Celtics were not able to replicate the same offensive production in later innings.
Moore Haven, leading by only one run in the sixth, switched its offensive game plan to try to add some insurance runs.
"You can't ever count them out," Andrea Peterson said of Moore Haven. "They found a new way to manufacture runs. They left swinging the bat and went to the bunt. That's the way softball is; there are multiple ways of scoring."
Despite the loss, the Celtics are still alive in the postseason. St. John Neumann will travel to Bradenton to face St. Stephen's on Thursday in the regional quarterfinals.
"Tomorrow night we'll have to have a very focused practice," Andrea Peterson said. "We saw some stuff tonight that we have to work on. We've got to keep the kids relaxed and tell them to keep swinging."

MXD3 regulation of DAOY cell proliferation dictated by time course of activation
1 Department of Pharmacology, UC Davis School of Medicine, 451 Health Sciences Drive, 3503 GBSF, Davis, CA 95616, USA
2 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, University of California Davis School of Medicine, Davis, CA, USA
BMC Cell Biology 2014, 15:30 doi:10.1186/1471-2121-15-30Published: 23 July 2014
MXD3 is a basic-helix-loop-helix-leucine-zipper transcription factor involved in cellular proliferation. In previous studies we demonstrated that knock-down of MXD3 in the human medulloblastoma cell line DAOY resulted in decreased proliferation. Surprisingly, overexpression of MXD3 in DAOY cells also decreased proliferation and increased cell death, suggesting that persistent expression of MXD3 triggers an apoptotic response, perhaps as a fail-safe mechanism. To investigate this apparent paradox in detail we developed a tamoxifen inducible system to analyze the temporal effects of MXD3 in the proliferation and transcriptional response of DAOY cells upon acute induction compared with long-term expression of MXD3.
We find that acute induction of MXD3 initially promotes cell cycle progression as assessed by a transient increase in bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. However, persistent induction of MXD3 ultimately results in decreased proliferation based on cell counts. Finally, with microarray expression profiling and gene ontology analysis we identify several major pathways enriched in response to acute (immune response, apoptosis, cell cycle) versus persistent (cell adhesion) MXD3 activation.
In this study, we demonstrate that acute MXD3 activation results in a transient increase in cell proliferation while persistent activation of MXD3 eventually results in an overall decrease in cell number, suggesting that the time course of MXD3 expression dictates the cellular outcome. Microarray expression profiling and gene ontology analysis indicate that MXD3 regulates distinct genes and pathways upon acute induction compared with persistent expression, suggesting that the cellular outcome is specified by changes in MXD3 transcriptional program in a time-dependent manner.

"Jim's a tough guy and you can see his personality is all over this football team," Fitzgerald said.
My UM v WMU preview
WMU has a lot of places to fill after graduation, only returning 11 starters from last season with 4 being on D.
Returning Starters; DE, DT, LB, LB
The defense does get a +1 in transfer Doug Wiggins(S) who previously played at Miami and sat out last year. Wiggins may not be as successful as Delmas was last year but he will bring some seniority and guidance to the other new starters in the secondary. Closer to the line Pritchard(LB) will probably have his name called all year, he had the 2nd most tackles last year with 86(behind Delmas with 111) including 10.5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks. They also return the all important MLB in Zajac, though he has only made 5 starts, he played in 12 games last year and should be a key contributer this year. The line its self returns half the starters and will be including a JUCO in TJ Lynch. He could be the pass rushing DE Cubit loves. He isn't listed as a starter in the media guide but he is sure to see time this year. Overall this D was instrumental in the upset of Illinois last year, just about everyone saw time in that game do to injuries.
Returning starters, QB, RB, WR, C, OG, OG, OT
Hiller returns, obviously, as well as the majority of the line. Losing one OT. The returning line played all 13 games last year with only the returning center and guard not starting every game (starting 8 and 12 games respectively). Behind Hiller is Burdi who broke off a few nice runs last year, the longest going for 42 yrds and a TD, I would doubt he sees much time but if Hiller goes down he could be a decent threat to run. In the remaining skill positions they return starting WR Juan Nunez who only has 11 starts to his name and RB Brandon West. The WR corp were banged up last year after the Illinois game losing 2 big contributers who have since graduated. Looking at the depth chart, the roster only includes about a handful of starts beyond Nunez. That is not to say this will be a weak unit but they too will be playing many underclassmen at the receiver positions. Brandon west was a 1000 yard back in 2008 (5.0 ypc) and with all that Oline returning there is no reason he wont be again this year. Behind him they return their number 2 and 3 RBs as well. Matt Stevens is now the #1 TE, when the TE is a viable option in the offense Cubit does not hesitate to use them, but with his 7 total starts and ho-hum stats I am not sure how much he will be utilized.
Bottom Line
There are definite questions that wont be answered till the game is played which is what everyone is so excited about. The biggest offensive question is the receivers, If they are up to snuff then you can expect a balanced attack of rushing and passing. If those receivers don't run the right routes or make mistakes it could end up being a heavy dose of the running game with just passes of the shorter variety to keep the defense off balance. There is no doubt that Cubit's offense can showcase stars, Hiller this year, TE Tony Scheffler and WR Greg Jennings both from 2006 were 2nd round picks to the broncos and packers respectively. It is very possible there is a sleeper hiding within the roster.
The defensive secondary will have the biggest questions to answer with everyone to be replaced. The line though could end up having a few too many holes this early in the season to be successful, but I think it will be largely unchanged in a stats point of view from last year. The Bronco's defense can play big when it counts though; holding Heisman contender Garrett Wolfe in 2006 ( who totaled 1400 ruyds in 6 games) to 25 total yards and pulling the upset 16-14, that was a huge game that year. Then you look back to their upset at Illinois last year, at Iowa in '07, and at virginia in '06 and you cannot sleep on either side of the ball with WMU.
So what do I think?
I buy into the, if you have 2 QBs you have no QBs opinion and if there is 3 then there still is no QB yet. But there are too many questions in the WMU secondary to not think that at least one of the QBs will find a throwing lane and hit a deep pass for 6. I think the inexperience on each team will be canceled out between the two of them; both sides of the ball will make mistakes but there won't be a massive TO margin. I don't think the UM RBs will get enough yards early to make this a high scoring game, by pounding the Dline early though they will take advantage of them late in the game. The WMU offense will put up yards, but without an established WR, or two, to go to they will have to rely too much on the running game to be successful.
Why Michigan Has Nothing to Fear From an Independent Investigation
Michigan is in a more favorable situation than a corporation that has been publicly accused of say, securities fraud. Public allegations would trigger an immediate SEC investigation, and then you're playing defense in trying to manage the enforcement body's investigation, which makes it tough to build an affirmative case that the client didn't do anything wrong. Unlike the federal government, though, the NCAA is generally willing to let a university conduct an internal review before it takes a look at the situation, so Michigan is more in the position of a company that's had internal allegations of misconduct brought to its attention.
In that situation, the point of the investigation isn't to get to the "truth" in some objective sense, but rather to answer a simple question - knowing what we know, can we go to the enforcement body in question, lay out our facts, and convince them that there's no point in investigating any further? The client is hiring you to put together a case that answers the question in the affirmative. You're going to try to discover the negatives as well as the positives and not whitewash things if you conclude that something illegal took place, but you're also going to present the facts you do discover in the best possible light for your client.
Getting specific, Rosenberg's story indicated that Michigan has signed statements from every player stating that all time spent on football beyond 20 hours was voluntary. This is infinitely stronger evidence than you usually have in a situation like this. If the question is whether X occurred and harmed a group of people, and there are contemporaneous statements from the supposed victims that X did not occur, we'd end the investigation right there. Is there more to the story? Probably. But there's more than enough to convince the enforcement body that it's not worth pursuing the issue any further. The SEC or NCAA or whoever have limited enforcement resources, and they're not going to waste them investigating situations where they'd have no hope of winning any subsequent legal proceedings. And overcoming Michigan's paper trail in this situation would be virtually impossible.
So if a company in Michigan's position came to us we'd laugh, tell them they have nothing to worry about, take a look at the paper trail, and then either end things there or write a brief disclosure to the enforcement body saying that X was alleged, we examined documents that conclusively disproved X, and that's it. And that would be the end of it.
The Team!
"We want the Big Ten championship and we're gonna win it as a team! They can throw out all those great backs and great quarterbacks and great defensive players throughout the country and in this conference. But, there's gonna be one team that plays solely as a team. No man, is more important than the team. No coach, is more important than the team. THE TEAM! THE TEAM! THE TEAM! And, if we think that way, all of us. Everything that you do, you take into consideration, what effect does it have on my team? Because, you can go in to professional football. You can go anywhere you want to play, after you leave here. You will never play for a team again! You'll play for a contract. You'll play for this. You'll play for that. You'll play for everything except the team! Think what a great thing it is, to be a part of something that is, THE TEAM! We're gonna win it. We're gonna win the championship again, because we're gonna play as a team! Better than anybody else in this conference, we're gonna play together as a team. We're gonna believe in each other. We're not gonna criticize each other. We're not gonna talk about each other! We're gonna encourage each other! And when we play as a team, and the old season is over. You and I know, it's Michigan again, MICHIGAN!"
What constitutes a 2 hour workout?
From what I can tell a workout consists of some variation of the following routine:
1) Putting the ipod and armband on, setting the playlist you like best, and bobbing your head cause you know you can't dance
2) Getting to a station, putting weight plates on
3) Doing a set (and grunting for the last 2-3 reps)
4) Looking at yourself in the mirror while you muster up energy for the next set
5) Change the song on your ipod and begin the next set
Hyperbole aside, in that routine I see a relatively small portion of actual "workout" time. I imagine teams that calculate to the minute factor that into their time limits and only say time actually lifting iron plates is "workout time".
My point is that when a player says they take even 4 hours for a workout, it's entirely possibly that would still fall within a 2-hour limit.
Thanks NCAA for making all this crystal clear.
Now a slightly off topic complaint regarding punishments experienced for missing an off-season workout - note the article never states whether that punishment is for missing time in the within-rules mandatory 8 hours of off-season conditioning or for missing a voluntary workout. It simply aims to imply that it's for missing anything. That's the only "solid" evidence the article presents to show that off-season stuff is required - YES 8 HOURS IS REQUIRED!
Furthermore, if you schedule time to workout and don't show up (voluntary or not) - shouldn't you be punished. Your'e wasting someone else's time by making an appointment and not showing up.
Open Letter to Bill Martin
Mr. Martin,
As a proud Michigan graduate and individual who is responsible for guiding, coaching, and mentoring a team, I'd like to voice my support for Coach Rodriguez. As you know from your sailing career, character is shown to the crew when sailing rough waters. It's a lesson that I've learned personally and from observation. It's clear to me that Coach Rodriguez has character that is second to none. Through one of the most turbulent times in Michigan football history, there has been no wavering in his commitment to the players, coaches, and fans. No excuses were given by him at any time. Now, with accusations made regarding violation of practice restrictions, he has shown his character again and stands by his word in a public forum without placing blame or making attacks on the accuser. I am proud to say he is the football coach of the team I support.
Coach Rodriguez must produce results on the field. But with the solid example he and his staff set for the student athletes and for the general public, I believe the good results are inevitable.
Please pass along my support to Coach Rodriguez, his staff, and the players. And please remind them all - It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
I'm sure the grammar police will be on this in 3... 2... 1...
Character witness for the defense
It's a tad long, but the primary message is that RR and his staff are terrific people and Rich in particular is a high-character guy -- his closing talk to the campers was off-the-cuff (seems he never reads a statement -- comes from the heart and the head) and hugely meaningful.
Evan was met at the entrance to Yost for camp sign-in by Tony Gibson -- big handshake, big smile, and asked Evan if he'd hit anyone yet today. Great welcome.
We then were directed to a table with Coach Smith and his wife, then to a table with Coach Frey, then Coach Tall and on down the line.
After sign-in, we went over to Schembechler Hall where Evan had his picture taken with RR, who told me I had a nice looking son (ok, I'm sold).
For the week, the entire camp for 13 to 15 year olds was run by RR and his staff. Coach Robinson and Coach Hopson worked the linebackers, which was Evan's group. Everything they did was "on the hop".
The dorm counselor was Scott Draper, a very fine gentleman who commanded the attention and respect of the 200 or so young fellows there.
We parents were treated with great warmth and respect, while the kids had the times of their lives. They were told that they may have come from a lot of different places, but for the camp, they were all Wolverines and all in together.
At the end of the camp, RR gave an off-the-cuff farewell that was priceless:
Take care of your parents,
take care of your brothers and sisters,
take care of your friends and teammates,
and take care of your schoolwork.
If you do that, everything else will follow.
I also had a chance to see Mrs. R holding court with a bunch of moms -- it looked like the weekend football mom's coffee klatch -- Rita couldn't have been more charming and welcoming.
These are terrific people and our beloved program is in fine hands. Bill Martin made a great hire, Lloyd finished with class and has remained classy, and Rich Rodriquez is a natural-born West Virginian who continues the tradition of excellence from Coach Yost on down. Bo would be proud, would respect the emphasis on the team, and the long blue line of Michigan men and women should also be proud.

Jockbeat: The Jets Go Down in Flames
Anybody can lose a football game, anyone can lose a football game by three points, and anyone can lose a football game by a field goal under bad conditions — even when they're playing at home. But man, even taking all those things into consideration, the Jets' loss to Atlanta Sunday was a real bummer.
And with games remaining with the 14-0 Colts (at Indianapolis) and the Bengals (who lead the AFC North with a 9-5 record), it looks very much like the Jets are going to finish the season at 7-9 instead of the promised 8-8 or even 9-7.
It was the way that they lost Sunday's game that really hurts.
It wasn't just the inability to get more than seven points — while playing on their own home field — against the a team that was ranked fifth from the bottom in the league in yards allowed. The Jets did gain 314 yards of offense, 76 more than the Falcons.
But five penalties on offense — which negated 78 yards gained — really stung.
It wasn't just the three missed field goals, it was that the Jets' special teams found three different ways — flubs by the holder, kicker and snapper on three different plays — that really hurts. While there's no question Rex Ryan has turned the Jets' defense around — after 14 games, they actually lead the NFL in fewest yards allowed — it's amazing how soft the defense can seem at critical times.
The Jets allowed Atlanta just 238 total yards, but couldn't register a single sack or pick off a single pass. (Mark Sanchez was sacked twice and threw three interceptions.)
And for the second time in six weeks, they played prevent defense and in the closing two minutes of the game let a team with an inconsistent offense march down the field for the winning score. Let's face it: The Jets, after winning their first three games, are going to finish 7-9.
Is there anything at all to salvage from this season? Well, yes. First of all, Sanchez will be getting better, and he'll be throwing to Braylon Edwards all season. Second, let's take some consolation in the fact that the Jets lost five games by just 17 points.
And here's the really eye-opening part: Four of those losses, by a combined total of 13 points, came at home! If the Jets find themselves with similar situations next year and can turn around just three of those close games, they'll coast into the playoffs. Unless, that is, they can find new ways to miss field goals.

MONTREAL (AP)—The Washington Capitals have regained the edge in their first-round series with the Montreal Canadiens.
Without any contributions from the NHL's top-ranked power play, the Capitals have scored 11 goals in two straight wins over Montreal to regain home-ice advantage heading into Wednesday's Game 4 in their Eastern Conference series.
Washington won its Bell Centre playoff debut 5-1 on Monday night. Its vaunted power play went 0 for 7, though, and played no part in silencing the Canadiens' fans. That was handled by a four-goal outburst in the second period, started by Boyd Gordon's(notes) short-handed goal and capped by Alex Ovechkin's(notes) second goal in as many games.
The Capitals, who lead the series 2-1, have yet to score in 14 opportunities with the man advantage against eighth-seeded Montreal. They haven't scored a power-play goal in five games, including their last two regular-season games.
"If the power play gets going it's going to be better for us," Ovechkin said. "But I hope when we need it it's going to be working."
Washington coach Bruce Boudreau noted that any added contributions from the power play won't necessarily result in the Capitals blowing the Canadiens off the ice.
"Usually when one game goes up, though, something else suffers," Boudreau said. "It's just the law of averages. I keep using statistics in baseball but when you have fabulous pitching, you don't always have great hitting, and vice versa.
"If our power play was 3 for 5 one night I don't think we'd have four even-strength goals. So it'll be nice to get the power play back on track, but I think we worked with it this year, we had so many guys that were plus that 5-on-5 we played a pretty good game as well."
After reviewing the previous night's game Tuesday, Boudreau said the Capitals' four-goal margin of victory in Game 3 had pushed to the back of his mind the fact that the Canadiens had numerous good scoring opportunities early in the game.
He said goalie Semyon Varlamov's(notes) play in the first was the key to Washington keeping it scoreless through the first 20 minutes.
"I didn't realize when I was watching it this morning that they had so many good chances," Boudreau said. "Sometimes the score of the game masks how you played. We thought at the end of the first we were doing pretty good and they came close to scoring about five really good chances to score and Varly was up to the task and played really strong in that period."
Varlamov replaced Jose Theodore(notes) early in Game 2 after the former Canadiens goalie was beaten on the first two shots he faced.
The Capitals chased Montreal starter Jaroslav Halak(notes) midway through Game 3. Carey Price(notes), who played each of the Canadiens' four regular season games against Washington, relieved and stopped 21 of 23 shots.
Boudreau was coaching Hershey in the 2007 AHL final when he first encountered Price, who won playoff MVP honors in leading Hamilton past the Bears to a Calder Cup title that spring.
"Well we played five games against him and every game we averaged over 42 shots a game against him and they won it five so he was quite a difference maker," Boudreau said. "It was at that point we knew he was a good goalie. If he's playing (Wednesday), we know he's a great goalie who can steal games for you so we'll just have to be aware of it."
Even without power-play goals, the Capitals have rebounded nicely after dropping the opener 3-2 in overtime at home.
"The first game shook us a lot," Ovechkin said. "We lost in overtime in front of our fans and we felt embarrassed."
Held without a point or a shot on goal for the first time in his career in Thursday's opener, Ovechkin has six points in the two wins, including a goal and three assists in a 6-5 comeback victory in Game 2 which saw Nicklas Backstrom(notes) complete a hat trick for the overtime winner.
"It's only 2-1 in the series and we haven't won anything," Ovechkin said. "We've just won two games and we have to win another game, then another game. Every game we win, we'll feel more comfortable."
