Members of the Teachers Retirement System board are blasting a bill signed into law Friday that will remove members appointed by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich while increasing the number of gubernatorial appointees on the board.
Members of the Teachers Retirement System board are blasting a bill signed into law Friday that will remove members appointed by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich while increasing the number of gubernatorial appointees on the board.
Under the new law, the governor will appoint six board members, creating an even split between appointed and elected members. The state superintendent of education will continue sitting on the board.
Currently, board members elected by teachers, current and retired, hold a majority on the board. Board members point out that Stuart Levine, a former TRS board member who has pleaded guilty to corruption charges and is at the center of the scandal, was a gubernatorial appointee.
"Our problem in the past was with an appointed (member)," said TRS board member Cinda Klickna, an elected member. "It was very puzzling that the legislature would increase the number of appointed (members) rather than the elected (members)."
Board member Jan Cleveland, also an elected member, said board members work well together, but increasing the number of appointed members is a bad idea.
"I think it's criminal," Cleveland said. "You're putting politics in the middle of teachers' retirement."
Scott Eshelman, a former board member and a critic of the current board, said changing the number of appointed board members doesn't address the real issue.
"I don't think we need more appointees, I think we need better processes," Eshelman said. "I think this is an indictment, really, of the elected trustees. The elected trustees were, in my view, asleep at the switch and continue to be asleep at the switch."
Steve Brown, spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, said the TRS board's history speaks for itself.
"The governor believes that the people who were on the board, regardless of whether they were appointed or not, did nothing to stop the corrupt practices that are now amply identified by the federal government," Brown said. "As a result, a change is going to be made.
"We saw what history brought us."

Ima Keithel - Manipur's warm-hearted Mothers' Market
Wrapped in scarf-like innaphis and sarong-like phaneks, their foreheads marked with elegant streaks of sandal paste and their teeth stained from chewing kwa (betel), Imphal's mothers get ready for another day of business. Their laughter rings out over the hubbub of haggling and footfalls, even above the sounds of vehicles gnashing in the street. Ima Keithel or the Mother's Market has long been a part of Manipuri tradition, by some accounts dating back to the 16th century. Today, located in four concrete structures in Imphal's Khwairamband Bazaar, it is one of the city's unique travel experiences.
Yahoo India's Travel editor BIJOY VENUGOPAL explores Ima Keithel and returns basking in the warmth of maternal love.

Universities Facing Merger Shake-Up
Byline: Andrew Picken Scottish Political Correspondent
SOME of Scotland's universities could be forced to merge to help pay for Alex Salmond's promise not to charge Scots tuition fees.
Ministers want powers to cut the number of colleges and universities with a view to creating more regional institutions.
The move comes amid growing concern that Scotland's higher education sector is facing a [pounds sterling]260million a year funding gap as a result of the pledge to keep education free north of the Border while rival institutions in England can charge fees.
The Scottish Funding Council, which gives Scottish Government grants to colleges and universities, will carry out a review of the institutions but ministers will have the final say.
The proposals to give ministers more powers over universities could see a situation where institutions in the same city, such as Glasgow Caledonian University and Strathclyde University, are ordered to merge.
The merger plan was part of wideranging changes to the higher education sector unveiled yesterday which will also see a guaranteed training place for all 16 to 19-year-olds.
There will be faster progression from college to university, stronger links between colleges and employers and a minimum income of [pounds sterling]7,000 for the poorest students. …

Luxurious and unusual, this printed suede pillow is carefully hand-crafted in a small leather workshop in New York.

Genuine suede zippered pillow cover measures 12 x 16.

There will be slight variations in color and texture, which are intrinsic to the process and should not be considered flaws. To keep your suede pillows clean, brush gently with a clean soft cloth. if you use a home leather cleaning product, be sure to use one specifically made for suede. For more serious stains or discolorations, pillow covers may be removed and cleaned professionally. All new suede is subject to "crocking which means that suede dust may rub off on hands and fabrics. Crocking can be minimized by rubbing the surface with a terry cloth towel. Store suede in breathable cotton bags, and not in plastic, which prevents it from breathing.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Kameda Crisps is my favourite brand currently wich makes arare(rice crackers). Wounderfull taste and they have no feeling of something baked in lots of fat/oil as it happens with arare oftenly. Wasabi taste offers strong, yet not overpowering kick. I wish there were more crackers instead of peanuts.
i love Kameda snacks , i have tried the rice snack and get this a try, the wasabi give it a weird flavor but it is not bad .

This Southwest Potato Hash recipe is one of our favorites for Saturday brunch. It takes a little while to make, but it is oh-so-worth it. Goes great with scrambled eggs!
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 large onion
- 2-4 tbs bacon drippings or coconut oil
- ½-1 lb pastured bacon
- Preheat oven to 415 degrees
- Shred potatoes using a cheese grater or mandoline
- Coarsely chop red bell pepper and onion
- Add potatoes, bell pepper and onion to an 8X10 pan
- Mix drippings/coconut oil with potato mixture until everything is thoroughly coated.
- Place in oven for 45 minutes or until thoroughly cooked
- While potatoes are baking fry the bacon in a pan. Once the bacon has cooled break it into small pieces and sprinkle over the potatoes. You an also add the bacon grease from the pan if you'd like. We do ; – )
If you try this potato hash recipe, let me know in the comments below what else goes well with it.

Avoid eDreams!
Joined Travelfish
1st May, 2010

I had issues with this company about 2 years ago when I was trying to book a flight, and fortunately managed to get a refund and book my flight elsewhere. Others weren't so lucky. I uploaded the linked blog post at the time and have had a *lot* of comments in recent weeks (I guess due to the holiday season) having similar, or worse, issues.
Amusingly, a staff member from eDreams themselves commented for a while insisting that these problems were no longer the case and that they would deal with any issues as they arose. Amusing as it's clearly not the case and he seems to have disappeared again since the complaints have escalated.
Please, please check around for similar posts about eDreams before you consider using them. It seems commonplace for your credit card details to have a "problem" on booking which requires that you fax (yes - fax) a copy of your details and passport to them for checking, during which period the flight prices will rise "beyond eDreams' control". They'll take the price you were quoted off your card, but refuse to release the ticket until you pay the difference.
My original blog post is linked below. Do research this company - there are a lot of similar posts around the place if you look.

Question Asked:
The dashboard is displaying "Engine system service required". A local garage read the error codes as a problem with the throttle housing. I already have a used housing but don't want to spend huge amounts at main dealers getting it programmed. Is there anyone I could get to do this cheaply or service my current throttle housing. The car is only worth £500 max so don't want to go silly with spends. For information I live in Cheshire UK.

By the way, since there is a donkey model already (as part of the Iberian and Celtic trader units) what about including some wild asses/onagers (desert, steppe, mediterranean)?
I created an onager's texture based on zebras some times ago. Then found that we already have a separate donkey model. But of course they could be a very good addition to the game.

There are "bridge sides" in the editor =) In other words, you need to create the middle part manually, but there are parts which you can use for the sides to make it look like a bridge. Then paint the middle part with a road texture or something to make it work well together To find the bridge pieces just go to the Object tab in the editor and start to write "bridge" in the filter textbox (you only need to write "brid" to just have the bridge pieces displayed =) ).
then there are bridges in the scenario editor?

I myself do not care about the fantasy ones like gear, so perhaps a filter that says:
-Authentic maps
It would also be nice to have better or more detailed descriptions. I would like to know what factions would be there. I prefer playing as immersive as possible so with factions that might or would be there (though I could play scenarios for that). This task could be done by fans of the game who like to help out.
One biome I would like to see is a green Middle Eastern map. Just like many people when I was young I was under the impression that the whole Middle East was desert and mountains. But when I was about 14 (that's 7 years ago) I came across some beautiful pictures of Iran which was very green (can't find it anymore I did look). That would be nice.
The biomes are fantastic work. The scenarios are also great, very immersive. The only critism I have but I'm sure has been heard is some animals are placed on the wrong biomes. Some might be placeholders which is fine. But being such a nature freak when I see a wildebeest in Turkey it makes me a bit like Michael Scott seeing Toby return:
Only with the wildebeest though as it is quite an error and of course I'm exaggerating.

We can re named: Mesoamerica (tropical type Caribbean ).
Mesoamerica is a region and cultural area in the Americas, extending approximately from central Mexico to Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and northern Costa Rica, within which a number of pre-Columbian societies flourished before the Spanish colonization of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries.[1][2] It is one of six areas in the world where ancient civilization arose independently, and the second in the Americas after Norte Chico (Caral-Supe) in present-day northern coastal Peru.
Have good a beautiful fauna.
Deep forest
And expledid beaches.
########### Yucantan map###########%%
To the east and west of the map is two ocean coasts, with each player starting alternatively on the right or left. Control of your own ocean is easy to establish, but control of your enemy's ocean would put you in a favorable position, enabling you to attack at the heart of your opponent's colony.
All resources are plentiful on this map, but an addition of naval combat may deplete your mines quickly. Use the ocean to fish and go whaling.
Herdables: (none)
Herds: Deer (400 ), Tapir (500 ).

I will provide dieline, art direction, and specifics. You will do the work and offer your own design input as needed. I'm thinking this will be a collaboration of sorts that follows our current branding. This is not a new product, rather a repackaging using the best features of our current brands.
I need this finished in a week or less, no exceptions. If you can't meet this deadline please do not apply for this job.
This should be fairly straightforward for someone who knows what they're doing. Please feel free to ask any questions. I look forward to working with you!

Rogers Corporation Reports 2012 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results Business Wire ROGERS, Conn. -- February 19, 2013 Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) ("Rogers" or the "Company") today announced fourth quarter 2012 net sales of $124.2 million and income from continuing operations of $0.30 per diluted share, which includes net special charges of $0.28 per diluted share. Excluding these net special charges, non-GAAP income from continuing operations was $0.58 per diluted share. Net sales and GAAP income from continuing operations were within the Company's updated guidance announced on January 29, 2013 of approximately $124 million in net sales and GAAP income of $0.24 to $0.30 per diluted share. Actual non-GAAP income per diluted share from continuing operations was also within the updated guidance range. Fourth quarter 2011 net sales were $125.3 million with income from continuing operations of $0.22 per diluted share, which included net special charges of $0.20 per diluted share. Net sales from continuing operations for the full year 2012 were $498.8 million, a decrease from the all-time record $548.3 million for the full year 2011. Full year 2012 income from continuing operations was $4.07 per diluted share compared to $2.64 per diluted share for the full year 2011. Full year 2012 income included a net benefit from special items of $2.06 per diluted share, which is primarily related to the reversal of a tax valuation allowance on the majority of the Company's US deferred tax assets. Full year 2011 results included net special charges of $0.20 per diluted share. Reconciliations of the fourth quarter and full year non-GAAP to GAAP operating results discussed in the preceding paragraphs and first quarter 2013 guidance are included at the end of this release. Business Segment Discussion High Performance Foams In the fourth quarter of 2012, High Performance Foams reported an all-time record for fourth quarter net sales of $47.6 million, an increase of 6.5% compared to the fourth quarter 2011 net sales of $44.7 million. The increase in net sales is primarily due to increased sales of PORON® foam cushioning and sealing materials into tablet computer devices, as this market segment continues to grow. This business segment also experienced strong demand for PORON® XRD® extreme impact protection materials for use in protective cases for smart phones and tablets, as well as sports performance apparel. Demand also increased in the industrial and mass transit markets. In addition, during the fourth quarter this segment substantially completed the announced shut down of its manufacturing operations in Bremen, Germany and successfully moved certain production to its existing facility in Carol Stream, Illinois. Printed Circuit Materials Net sales of Printed Circuit Materials totaled $38.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 3.6% from the $37.2 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in net sales is primarily due to strong demand for high frequency printed circuit materials for use in the telecom base station market, especially in China and the US. This increase offset weaker demand into the satellite TV markets for LNB (Low Noise Blockdown) converters, as well as high reliability applications. Market growth continues to drive use of the Company's high frequency circuit materials for automotive safety sensors. In addition, the Company continues to gain share in new wireless antenna applications. Power Electronics Solutions Curamik Electronics Solutions reported net sales of $22.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of 22.7% compared to the fourth quarter 2011 net sales of $28.6 million. Lower net sales at Curamik in the fourth quarter of 2012 were primarily related to the ongoing pull back in global capital and infrastructure spending, as well as inventory corrections throughout the supply chain, both of which negatively impacted demand for industrial motor drives and renewable energy applications. The Company believes that inventories have now stabilized at current levels. Power Distribution Systems' fourth quarter of 2012 net sales were $10.4 million, an increase of 8.2% compared to $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in sales was due primarily to continued demand for its power distribution products in the automotive market. This offset the continued lower spending on infrastructure projects in the mass transit and renewable energy markets, primarily in Europe and China. Joint Ventures Rogers' 50% owned High Performance Foams joint ventures' net sales totaled $15.3 million this quarter, a decrease of 16.4% compared to the $18.3 million sold in the fourth quarter of 2011. The decrease was due to continued weakness in the Japanese domestic and export markets, particularly related to LCD TVs, domestic mobile phones and general industrial applications. Operational Highlights The net special adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2012 were comprised primarily of the following: *$4.3 million of pre-tax charges primarily associated with moving the final inspection operation for Curamik Electronics Solutions from its site in Eschenbach, Germany to Hungary. *$2.9 million pre-tax charge related to the lengthening of the forecast period for asbestos liabilities and the related insurance receivables. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company deemed it appropriate to increase the forecast period for asbestos litigation claims from 5 to 10 years as it now has a longer, more meaningful history of asbestos claims activity, which provides greater confidence in the reasonableness of the longer forecast period. *$1.1 million in fourth quarter losses relate to the negative foreign currency impact of the Japanese Yen depreciation and unfavorable mark to market valuation declines on copper commodity hedges during the period. The Company expects that in both cases, these valuation changes will result in lower costs to the Company in 2013 as currencies are exchanged and materials are purchased at the lower rates. *These charges were partially offset by approximately $2.1 million of favorable inventory adjustments as the Company updated its costing methodology during the quarter. The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2012 with cash and cash equivalents of $114.9 million. Capital expenditures were $23.8 million for the full year 2012 compared to the $21.3 million in 2011. Rogers expects capital expenditures of approximately $28 million in 2013. The Company reported gross margins of 34.4% in the fourth quarter and 31.8% for the full year of 2012, which compares to 29.7% for the fourth quarter and 32.6% for the full year of 2011, respectively. The Company's 2012 effective tax rate was a benefit of 205.2%. This rate was favorably impacted by net discrete tax items, the most significant of which was the reversal of a valuation allowance on the majority of the Company's US deferred tax assets, which occurred in the third quarter of 2012. The Company believes its tax rate for 2013 will be approximately 28%. Bruce D. Hoechner, President and CEO commented: "Rogers' two largest businesses, High Performance Foams and Printed Circuit Materials, ended the quarter solidly above the same quarter of last year. Streamlining programs initiated early in 2012 helped improve profitability by $5.0 million in the fourth quarter and we anticipate these savings will carry forward through 2013. Sales dropped in December across most of our businesses due to global economic concerns and inventory draw downs in some markets. However, early indicators for 2013 are positive, including a January rebound in demand that impacted most markets. For the first quarter of 2013, we forecast revenues between $129 to $133 million and non-GAAP income from continuing operations of between $0.57 and $0.61 per diluted share, which excludes any restructuring expenses related to the relocation of certain Curamik inspection operations and other special charges."

What? You think goofy white people are the only ones that can pull of an epic skullet? Think again buddy!
You ever see someone out in public around Halloween and convince yourself they are only dressed that way to get into the spirit of the holiday but inside your really know you're just telling yourself that for peace of mind? I'm getting that feeling right now.
I love how parents love to play this little game in Walmart called "How long can I let my kid play with a bag over their head so they shut up for a few minutes before they actually pass out and I go to jail?" – It's a long name but still seems like a popular past time.
BOOM! Now those are some heavy duty, smother-you-to-death type of back boobies! You've got some back cleavage that makes like 65% of all front cleavages look tiny.

Since moving to the Alameda, my experience has been great. The community is very well kept, and the associates in the management office keep us regularly informed via email of things happening in and around the community. I love the ease of Avalon Access, as it relates to paying rent, and requesting service if necessary. I would recommend Avalon on the Alameda, to those looking for a peaceful, and comfortable place to live with all the amenities, minus the upkeep, which is a major plus.

Comfortable quality apartments with friendly staff. We have lived here for a year and have enjoyed the quiet beautifully landscaped premises. Very pet friendly. The pool and work out facility are a great bonus. Great place to live!

We've lived here for almost two years now and we love it. The location is great -- close to pretty much everything in San Jose with close freeway access too, and the neighborhood is cool with some great places to eat within walking distance. The front office and maintenance team are always on top of things, and Carlos in particular has been extremely professional, friendly and helpful. Recently I put in a service request and he knocked on the door within 10 minutes to resolve it! Also, The grounds are nice and the interiors are as well. The online payment system works well too. The only negatives from my perspective are that the appliances are a little out of date, and the rent is a bit pricey. The high rent is a San Jose/Silicon Valley issue though, not an Avalon issue.

My wife and I have lived here since 2012. We are so sad to be leaving as this was a GREAT place to live. The staff is top-notch and the people who live here have generally been nice folks. We always said that the only way we'd leave Avalon on the Alameda was if we bought a house, and that's why we're going. I'll start with the negatives, because no place is perfect. Yes, crime does happen here, as it does everywhere in a big city. In the 3+ years we've lived here, we've had only 1 minor incident with our cars. Someone tried to break into my wife's car, and busted the lock. She wasn't parked inside the gated parking, but was in the complex. No other incident besides this one. The only other negative would be the number of people who seem to be terrified of tiny dogs on leashes. Relax people!!! They can sense your fear!!! The other dog owners in the complex have been pretty awesome, and the poop problem has pretty much disappeared since they put in dog waste stations with bags! Thank you for listening to us and getting them!!! They have made such a difference! I no longer step on dog crap once a week!!! Now to the positives: 1. The staff has been truly amazing throughout the years. Some turnover of the staff has occurred through the years, but the service we've received regardless of who we've dealt with has been nothing but exemplary. We are going to miss you!!! Every time we go into the office, we are treated like we are friends and they truly care about their residents. I have a true story which illustrates this caring. My 21 year-old dog died. Many of the staff knew him and knew me. I had the vet come to our apartment to put him to sleep. Someone must have seen my bringing the body to the vet's vehicle because later that day a card signed by the entire Avalon staff was at my door. This touched me so much and will be my strongest memory here. I still have that card, and it's coming with me. 2. The apartments are not spectacular, but very functional and nice. We've had very few service requests, and when we have them, they take care of things pretty darn quickly. I also like how conveniently located everything is. It's very easy to dump your trash and recycling and get your mail, etc. 3. The amenities are pretty awesome! I love the gym and use it when I need to. The equipment is pretty good, and I really like the fact that there are TV's on the elliptical machines that you can control. The hot tub and pool are really well maintained as well. 4. The surrounding area is great. We love being able to walk to Starbucks, Subway, etc. and you're close enough to downtown to walk there pretty easily. Yes, sometimes you walk by a strange individual, but they're pretty harmless. We will miss the location. By the way, the restaurant Zona Rosa across the street is amazing! Go there! 5. The community is pretty aware that they live in a complex with a lot of people, and everyone is pretty respectful of each other. It's rare when someone is too loud (at least in our part of the complex), and even though some people may not be the friendliest, they have always been polite. I read in other reviews about bad neighbors. This has not been the case for us at all, despite the turnover in some nearby apartments. 6. The rent is expensive, but very fair for the area and the amenities. I don't feel ripped off in any way. Our rent has been raised every year, but not by an unfair amount. That's what rents generally do, especially in this area. In closing, I want to thank everyone at Avalon who has made our time here so pleasant. We will miss you, and a big goodbye to all the other community members who have become our friends.

I moved in with my wife about two weeks ago and we really love it! The apartments are spacious and close to everything. There is a small shopping center right in the complex! What has really impressed me is the quality and attitude of the maintain worker. Andrew from maintain even helped me move two large couches into my upstairs apartment when my wife hurt her hand! And Ivan helped me find a safe spot for the giant moving truck we brought and has constantly checked in to make sure everything is working and to our satisfaction! Sure the rent is a bit pricey but it's Cali what can you expect!

Would you make a good geospatial information scientist? Sokanu's free assessment reveals how compatible you are with a career across 5 dimensions!Take the free career test
A Geospatial Information Scientist is a specialized type of Scientist. Also known as: Geospatial Scientist, Geo-Spatial Information Scientist.
A geospatial scientist is someone who uses various computer software programs and tools such as geographic information systems, global positioning systems (GPS), and other remote aerial technology sensors to gather geographic information. This helps them determine the best way to use the geographic physical space in which people exist.
Geospatial scientists also study and analyze how people utilize the physical space around them. They may for example study the spaces that exist between two cities, towns, neighborhoods, or even streets. They then measure and study how the usage of this space changes over time, which helps them determine how things like population, weather and climate conditions, and resources affected these changes.
The work of a geospatial scientist allows them to make decisions as to the best place to put a new school, daycare center, hospital, or bridge. By helping, many companies find the best and most efficient ways to use the world's natural resources. This career is of growing importance to the Greenpeace initiative. A geospatial scientist literally helps to shape the city, state, country, and world in which people live.
Using geographic information systems or GIS technology, they create and produce tables, data, reports, and maps. They then use the reports to create schedules and budgets for projects related to the data. They keep up current GIS systems and formulate plans for possible future upgrades to the system. Geospatial scientists also provide expert technical information to businesses and other clientele while discussing possible solutions and other operational problems that may have already or potentially existed. They also provide technical support for the creation of mapping software for the geographic information systems.
Creating software, programming, and performing data analysis on the GIS is also the job of a geospatial scientist. They instruct and manage technicians and all other related personnel in GIS procedures. A geospatial scientist will also gather and assimilate all collected geographic and cartographic data that may include all potential green spaces, potential and current sources of pollutants, and utility locations for inclusion into maps. They also assess, watch, and model resources of the environment.
Ironically, geospatial scientists work more in comfortable offices sitting for extended periods indoors rather than outdoors. Geospatial scientists can find employment in a variety of different industries, both in the government and in private sectors. Research and development companies, consulting firms, and software and computing companies, are all industries that geospatial scientists work in. A standard 40-hour workweek of Monday through Friday is typical of these scientists; working overtime is only occasionally necessary to meet deadlines.
Someone wishing to be a geospatial scientist must have a strong interest in mapping and in the environment. Good reading and listening comprehension is crucial for geospatial scientists. The ability to understand the needs or desires of the client from written and oral reports is crucial. Without a clear understanding of this information, the wrong data may be collected, thus wasting resources. A geospatial scientist must also be able to communicate effectively with all related staff and clients. Being able to relay findings, both orally and in writing, must be done with effective communication so that all parties are on the same page.
Being able to think critically by using reasoning and logic to point out a solution's strengths and weaknesses is also an important asset. A geospatial scientist must also have good judgment and decision-making skills as things in the field do not always align with things on paper. Another trait that makes a person a good geospatial scientist is the ability to relate events or pieces of data that are seemingly unrelated to solve a problem.
Being able to not only establish but also maintain relationships with both co-workers and clients is also something required in this field. Exact and accurate collection and analysis of all data are also necessary for any geospatial scientist. Working as a part of a team and meeting strict deadlines both weekly and daily is another requirement.
Introduction to GIS, introduction to geocomputing, GIS applications, and spatial and GIS analysis are just some of the courses that a person seeking a career as a geospatial scientist must take. A four-year degree in geospatial science, geography, or related physical science is all one needs to enter the field. The University of Texas, Dallas, Missouri State University, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, and the University of North Alabama, all offer degrees in those fields. The ASPRS has more information on training, education, and trends in the field of geospatial science.

As the O.J. Simpson trial demonstrated, once they add the bronze to the statue and spit-polish the bust, it's difficult indeed to get booted out of the Hall of Fame.
Lucky thing for Joe Gibbs.
While a jury acquitted Simpson, there's no way Gibbs isn't guilty of at least dubious judgment, and he'd do well to plead nolo cotendere to charges he has taken leave of his senses. Makes you wonder if Gibbs, 11 seasons removed from the NFL sideline, has inhaled too many fumes while standing behind his fleet of NASCAR entries.
The first reaction upon hearing that Gibbs has accepted the proposal of Redskins owner Dan Snyder was to wonder if the coach had suffered what heretofore will be known as a Britney Spears Moment. The second was to consider that, if he really wanted to coach again so badly, Gibbs could have inherited the Atlanta Falcons, a team in which he was a minority shareholder. The third was, well, to wish Gibbs good luck.
Because he is going to need it in industrial barrel-sized measures.
Make no mistake, just because Gibbs knows more about restrictor plates than he does running backs right now, his pride and work ethic will allow him to play catch up. Still, there will be days when Gibbs might confuse Patrick Ramsey, his quarterback, with a quarter-turn on some wing-nut that controls downforce.
Closing the knowledge void won't be as easy as Tony Stewart trying to make up a lap after having a flawed right front tire blister up on him. The learning curve gap that Gibbs faces could be every bit as treacherous as the third turn at Talladaga. Clearly, the great coach has been able, however, to mentally rationalize away all the negatives.
Then again, once you've been engaged in an undertaking where you huckster off every inch of the product for more sponsor's decals, it's apparently not quite as hard to auction your soul to the devil, as Gibbs has done.
Gibbs retired after the 1992 season, a three-time Super Bowl champion, a man at the top of his profession. That 1992 date is significant because it means that Gibbs never worked under the restraints of a salary cap and never had to deal with free agency as we know it now. It is meaningful, too, because 11 seasons is a lifetime in the NFL, as Gibbs will soon find out, and the players have changed.
Notice, we didn't say the game has changed that much because, as Dick Vermeil demonstrated after returning from a 15-season hiatus and Bill Parcells keeps proving in his various reincarnations, the same principles that he taught in his first coaching life still apply. His game-planning and preparation brilliance aside, though, Gibbs will discover that, if he tells LaVar Arrington to not freelance so much, the results won't be the same as they were with, say, Monte Coleman.
The Redskins are a team who, scouts will tell you, has enough quality personnel. But just because there's a guy named Champ on the roster doesn't mean Washington is going to a Super Bowl anytime soon. And bringing back venerable assistant coach Joe Bugel won't guarantee that the guy who tutored The Hogs can make a silk purse from an offensive line unit that in 2003 had all the movement skills of bumps on logs. Led the past two years by a man who loved to refer to himself as The Ol' Ball Coach, the Redskins are now shepherded by a man who is old, hasn't been a coach in over a decade, and may not fully understand how ball is played in this millennium.
And then, of course, there is the matter of ownership. Some credit to Snyder, who began the courtship of Gibbs on New Year's Eve at a tiny airfield in Concord, N.C. When we got an anonymous tip that Redskins One was parked there -- sorry, Dan, it's a private jet and not a Stealth bomber -- team officials responded to the query by insisting the imperial owner was "on business."
Yep, monkey business, with one of The Daniel's minority partners, a buddy of Gibbs for many years, brokering the deal. All the posturing afterwards -- the trip to the West Coast, the interviews with three other candidates, questioning media acquaintances about what the best age is for a head coach -- was little more than a diversion. Long before Tuesday, when word began to leak that the Redskins little man was up to something big, we all should have seen the light.
The Daniel, after all, is a product of the Beltway Mentality. He frets far too much about buying success than developing it, obsesses about how he is perceived, covets the lineage of his franchise instead of figuring out a new world way for inventing his own heritage. He surrounds himself with links to the Redskins past, counseling with old school types, instead of trying to uplink to the future.
Build through the draft? Why bother when you can open the coffers and buy a bunch of veterans? Actually hire a coach who can grow with your franchise? C'mon, this is all about a big name guy coaching bigger-name players. Marty Schottenheimer. Steve Spurrier. And now Joe Gibbs.
For years, Gibbs worked under the notoriously meddlesome Jack Kent Cooke, so maybe he thinks he is prepared to have an owner peering over his shoulder. Jack Kent Cooke might soon look like an absentee owner to Gibbs, though, given what awaits him. Good thing for Gibbs he's got a history, after all these years in NASCAR, of working the pits.
People in the business like to refer to Arizona as the elephant burial grounds for head coaching careers. Well, now Gibbs is headed into the Beltway Vortex, and here's hoping he has thought this thing out.
Maybe we'll be wrong about this but, for the heck of it, here's a bet: Three years from now, the guy who accepted the Redskins job as a Hall of Fame member will be viewed as just another ordinary Joe.
