By the time Wednesday night is through, every NBA team will have played somewhere between 35 and 40 games, which means we're nearly halfway through the season (even if it doesn't really feel that way). As such, now seems like a good time to start handing out some midseason hardware.
In fantasy, though, value is always a little different than it is in actual basketball games, so we won't play the conservative name-the-best-players game here. Instead, I'd like to acknowledge the most valuable fantasy performances of the season so far. To do that, we won't just look strictly at how valuable a player is, but rather how valuable a player is in relation to where that player was drafted.
What follows is a list of all the players currently ranked in the top 50 on the Player Rater who are at least 40 spots ahead of their ADP (average draft position). Just to stir the pot a little, I'll also speculate about how likely each player is to keep up his performance for the rest of the season.
Players' current ranking based on total stats accumulated for the season, followed by ADP, is indicated in parentheses.
Dorell Wright, SF, Warriors (Rank: 33; ADP: 140): No player has outperformed his draft status more than Wright, who seems to have not actually been drafted in any standard leagues. Wright had never made more than 0.8 3-pointers per game prior to this season, but is currently knocking down 2.6 per game, which is where he accumulates most of his value. He's been wildly inconsistent in every other category, but the Warriors don't really have anyone to push him for playing time, so he stands a pretty good chance of remaining a top-35 player. He's probably at his ceiling, though, so trading him for someone around his current value is a great idea if you can swing it.
Wilson Chandler, SG/SF, Knicks (Rank: 21; ADP: 115.1): Chandler spent the early part of the season turning himself into an elite shot-blocker, but it's worth noting that he's barely over one block per game in his past 17 contests. His 3-point stroke has been extremely inconsistent, as well. A great fit in the Knicks' system, Chandler is also one of the Knicks' only trade assets. He's outperforming his PER projections for this season so severely that one has to be a little worried that his performance so far might be a bit of a fluke, and I'd be trying to trade him while he's hot if I owned him in my leagues.
Wesley Matthews, SG/SF, Trail Blazers (Rank: 49; ADP: 140): Like Wright, Matthews was not really drafted in any leagues but has exceeded all expectations. He's got a few things working for him, most notably that Brandon Roy has missed nearly half the Blazers' games. Matthews has traded a little of the efficiency he exhibited as a rookie in order to be a more prolific scorer, but he knocks down a lot of 3s, gets his fair share of steals and makes 85 percent of his free throws. I don't think you need to worry about Roy bumping Matthews' minutes any time soon, so Wesley seems pretty safe where he is, even if he probably won't rise much higher.
Serge Ibaka, PF/C, Thunder (Rank: 41; ADP: 119.6): Lots of folks decided to try out Ibaka toward the end of their drafts, and for lots of folks that was a great decision. Ibaka is the first guy on this list I'd be extremely hesitant to trade, mainly because his game is improving as his minutes increase. He's already clearly the best big man the Thunder have (even if he is still coming off the bench), and he is an elite shot-blocker and excellent rebounder. A great finisher around the rim, he also has an improving jump shot and is turning into a respectable free throw shooter (77 percent so far this season). He could easily be in the top-35 a month from now.
Elton Brand, PF/C, 76ers (Rank: 29; ADP: 105.5): People had basically given Brand up for dead as a basketball player heading into this season (except perhaps our own Neil Tardy), and for good reason. Even by the end of last season, he hadn't shown enough to warrant a draft pick in the top-100 in most leagues. This year, it's a different story. He has been better in every category and is showing no signs of slowing down as the season progresses. He's ranked right where he should be at the moment.
Mike Conley, PG, Grizzlies (Rank: 45; ADP: 104): Conley started like gangbusters, eventually signing a sweet contract extension and accumulating lots of good vibes. Unfortunately, he's looked a lot like last season's Mike Conley for about a month now and is on the verge of finding himself outside of the top 50 pretty soon. Given his mediocre history leading up to this season, I'd be pretty happy if I could trade him for someone who has been underachieving this season. Sell high while you can.
Paul Millsap, PF, Jazz (Rank: 18; ADP: 74): Millsap has just been great. He's become a great scorer by improving his free throw shooting and by having fewer of his shots blocked. All the concerns about Al Jefferson stealing his minutes were unfounded, as Millsap has been too good to take out of the lineup. He'll probably lose a few minutes when Mehmet Okur returns from his injury, but given the dearth of big men on the Jazz, it'll be hard for them to play Millsap fewer than the 35 minutes he's getting right now. He might slip out of the top 20 at some point, but he's an elite fantasy player right now until he proves otherwise.
Andre Miller, PG, Trail Blazers (Rank: 44; ADP: 93.8): In the absence of Brandon Roy, it hasn't been just Wesley Matthews carrying the Blazers in the backcourt. Miller has been just as effective as he was last season, but his game has changed quite a bit. He's boosted his assists while scoring a little less, but most importantly, he's averaging 1.8 steals per game. That would be a career high if he kept it up all season, and he might do that, because he's not slowing down and the Blazers can't play at any slower tempo than they already are this season.
Manu Ginobili, SG, Spurs (Rank: 11; ADP: 59.4): Ginobili is, by all accounts, having the best season of his career, setting career highs in 3s, steals and minutes while coming pretty close in points, assists and free throws. With a guy who gets hurt as much as Ginobili, there's always some risk, but given how steady his production has been, I'd be more worried about trading him for less than he's worth than eventually seeing him get nicked up. I don't see any way a healthy Ginobili falls out of the top 15, so if you do trade him, make sure you're getting fair value.
Raymond Felton, PG, Knicks (Rank: 13; ADP: 60.2): Another guy having the best season of his career, Felton seems to be the beneficiary of playing in a perfect system more than anything else. In that light, his most impressive improvement may be the one he's made at the free throw line, where he's shooting 87 percent for the season. Keep in mind, Felton was picked fifth in the 2005 draft, just after Deron Williams and Chris Paul, so on talent, what he's doing now shouldn't shock anybody; that's as good a reason as any not to trade him.
Kevin Martin, SG, Rockets (Rank: 20; ADP: 66.5): Like Ginobili, Martin just needed to stay healthy to have a great fantasy season. He's suffering his first injury of the season now, having missed the Rockets' win over the Celtics on Monday night with a sprained wrist. Reports indicate he'll be back soon, and it seems like the fact that the Rockets are keeping his minutes down (31.3 per game, his lowest since 2005-06) is helping him stay on the court. Fortunately, he's second only to Kobe Bryant in points per minute, which is keeping him in the upper echelon of fantasy options. Still, he's worth trading simply because he's so brittle.
Kevin Love, PF, Timberwolves (Rank: 7; ADP: 50.4): No one on this list ranked higher to start the season, and no one ranks higher now. Amazingly, he's still getting better. His points, rebounds and shooting percentages all went up from November to December and are all going up again this month. If he could ever start blocking shots, he'd be the best player in fantasy basketball; blocking just one shot per game would bump him ahead of everyone but Chris Paul right now. Do not trade him, because he'll make you regret it.
Ray Allen, SG, Celtics (Rank: 24; ADP: 66.2): A positive contributor in every category save blocks, Ray Allen will probably be on this list every season for the rest of his career. Every season, we write him off, and every season he keeps just knocking down open looks. That said, he also happens to be having his best season as a Celtic and is showing no signs of letting up. I can see trading him for an underachiever with a higher ceiling, like Stephen Curry, but be aware (especially in roto leagues) that when you trade Allen, you're giving up a guy who helps you in the percentages even as he's jacking up a ton of 3s, a rare combination.

Defense holds upper hand in brief scrimmage
LSU coach Les Miles decided to conduct a brief scrimmage in Tiger Stadium on Wednesday morning.
The more experienced defense had the advantage in the 30-play session although both sides of the football need improvement.
"First scrimmages are generally productive to a point," Miles said. "The players get acclimated to football. Seldom are things flowing. Today's scrimmage falls in this category. The defensive played well, but it was penalized too much. The offense was penalized too much. We rushed the ball some."
The biggest surprise of the morning was the result of the matchup between the No. 1 offensive and defensive lines. The defensive line was more impressive against an offensive line with four returning starters.
"It was very competitive between the two lines," Miles said. "The defensive line really got after them. I like the way our defensive front is playing. Guys like Frank Herron and Christian LaCouture looked good. We are improving on the offensive line."
Miles was not totally happy with the performance of his quarterbacks - Anthony Jennings and Brandon Harris. According to Miles, both quarterbacks split reps with the No. 1 offense.
"Both guys are improving," Miles said. "They are young. Both are engaged in leadership and want to have command of the offense. But, they don't know what command is.
LSU DE Rasco energized for final run
"They don't know what has to be communicated to make the offense go. They have to have better command of the huddle and a better understanding of where the guys have to line up."
According to Miles, wide receivers Avery Peterson and Travin Dural caught touchdown passes. Miles refused to say who made the touchdown throws. Most of the plays were run inside the defense's 50. There was a thud scrimmage (no tackling to the ground) before the live scrimmaging occurred.
Leonard Fournette is ready to make his mark
Miles said that tailback Leonard Fournette took part in the thud portion of the contact only. Wide receiver Malachi Dupre was limited as well with some type of muscle pull.
"Leonard Fournette is a little nicked up, so he did not run in the live part," Miles said. "Malachi Dupre is also nicked. He is on the heal. He will continue to be treated."
Miles had some positive news about defensive tackle Quentin Thomas, who has a biceps injury.
"Quentin Thomas went through the individual drills," Miles said. "He moved around and used his hands. There is no reason to do anything else but rehab now. He may be able to practice in a couple of days."
Miles said there was no new information on the academic status of defensive tackle Trevonte Valentine. The Tigers will have their first major scrimmage of preseason practice Saturday morning.

'Master sampler' Katrina Thomas gathers water from Grand Lake St. Mary's for testing.
Grand Lake St. Mary's in Celina is a tranquil spot, but forget about taking a cool dip in the water. The algae that gives the lake its blue-green cast could make you sick. A research team led by BGSU biologists Drs. Michael McKay and George Bullerjahn is studying why this type of algae is growing here and what can be done to encourage the growth of a less toxic form.
"Something is happening in the lake causing the growth of this particular algae," said Ben Beall, a postdoctoral research associate from Alberta, Canada. "It causes a layer of scum to form on top of the water and even contains toxins, which led to a ban on swimming."
The experiment is a collaboration between BGSU, the city of Celina and Algaeventure Systems. The company wants to know if a different type of algae called diatoms can be grown. Diatom algae can be used for biofuel and would also help improve fishing on the lake. The researchers are hoping they can manipulate the nutrient content of the water to stimulate diatom growth.
The site is marked with a large sign proclaiming it a "Grand Lake Ecosystem Experiment." Several large containers with mesh tops float along the lakeshore, each containing a mini-lake environment. Two of them are control samples while the others contain different combinations of nitrates, phosphates and silica. Nitrate and phosphate are found naturally in the lake.
Katrina Thomas, a marine biology junior from St. Mary's, heard about the project from McKay, who is her advisor. He asked her to join the project after learning she was from the area.
"It's been a great experience, and I've learned a lot about how to use the lab," Thomas said. "Plus, I never knew there was harmful algae out there that can cause serious damage to your body."
Thomas is called the "master sampler." Using a long stick with a cup attached to the end, she stirs the water inside the container before scooping up a sample and transferring it to a clear plastic jar.
She takes the sample across the street to a lab inside the Celina Water Treatment Plant, where she sends it through a microfilter, leaving the nutrients behind. Thomas freezes the filters, adds a chemical to the filtered water and then puts the sample in a refrigerator to be taken back to BGSU.
Once at BGSU, Beall and others analyze the samples for water chemistry. They see how much nutrient is left and if it changed any property of the water. They also look at the type of organisms that have grown and the number of them in the water.
Beall says the first stage of the experiment was successful and showed it is possible to manipulate the lake water. They are still analyzing the data to determine the nutrients' effect.
Thomas remembers swimming in the lake when she was a child and says it wasn't so bad. "Now I want to help turn it around to how it used to be."

Courthouse construction on schedule
Fri, Jul 25th, 2003
Posted in Features
Posted in Features
�The project is holding to schedule,� Dave Johnson, the courthouse construction supervisor, told the County Board at Tuesday�s meeting. Johnson said steel work would start within the next week. Johnson said he was pleased with the progress to date. He said that there haven�t been any more surprises since two cisterns and the old court�s steps were uncovered during excavation.
Dean Sand, Construction Analysis & Management, Inc. presented bids for asbestos abatement and industrial hygiene air monitoring. Enviro Tech Remediation Services, Inc. came in with the low bid of $172,800. The engineer�s estimate ran $188,768. Angstrom Analytical�s bid for air monitoring came in at $20,250. That�s $9,500 lower than the engineer�s estimate. The abatement will start August 5. Both bids were approved. Sand requested the board�s decision on ballistic glazing windows. The original estimate was $10,000 for four windows. The actual cost has been determined to be $11,175 for three windows. Sand explained that the driving force behind the costs was the set up charge. Commissioner Duane Bakke found it difficult to believe the company was setting up their equipment for just three windows. It was noted that glazed windows are dangerous at night as one can see into the office. Assistant County Attorney Matt Opat also shared his view on only having one of four windows bullet-proof in the County Attorney�s office. �You might as well put up a sign on that window, �shoot here�,� said Opat. Commissioners Helen Bicknese and Chuck Amunrud felt the special windows were cost prohibitive. The board will seek out more feedback from Judge Robert Benson before making a final decision. Sand passed out copies of the current budget update including the change order log. The update showed what has been paid out in each category of work and what remains to be paid. The overall math shows the project to be staying on task. Jason Woodhouse, Kane & Johnson Architects, discussed tile, carpet and paint colors. Decisions will be required shortly. Recommendations will come from the courthouse sub-committee with the final approval given by the board. Other Business �The board approved an agreement between the Recorder�s Office and the state allowing Fillmore County to remain a satellite office for Commercial Code (UCC). This allows the county to track liens against property being sold. The rates charged for this service has also been increased from $15 to $40. � County Assessor Robert Picket requested the board purchase the Minnesota Tax Property Tax System. The system allows for the calculating of property owners� taxes. The board was comfortable with the proposed plan. �Board chairman, Marc Prestby asked that a memo be sent to the Sheriff Department and Highway department outlining the county�s purchasing policy after a mower was purchased. The amount of the item was over the maximum limit and the board had no input into the purchase. County Coordinator Karen Brown confirmed that quotes had been received, but the board hadn�t been party to the transaction. �Commissioner Amunrud reported the last D-F-O meeting showed a $420,000 cut in 2004. The caseload of criminals is growing while budget cuts are forcing staff cuts.

Hello everyone,
I have recently done my first western blots and now I would like to reprobe one of them. I have used a PVDF membrane for this blot and I used a secondary antibody coupled to alkaline phosphatase. I would now like to look at the same protein on the blot using a fluorescent antibody instead (more quantitative than a method relying on precipitation as I understand). But now I have three questions:
1) Can I reprobe a protein which has already been visualised with alkaline phosphatase or will the product precipitate which allows you to see the band inhibit any further antibodies binding?
2) Which stripping method is recommended for PVDF membranes (would glycine pH 2 for example be okay?can SDS be used for stripping?)
3) I actually allowed the membrane to go dry after the seeing my first result because I thought I would not have to reprobe it. Is it possible to rehydrate the membrane with ethanol/methanol, strip and reprobe, or is the fact that it is completely dry a problem?
Thank you!

On the off chance that there's something (else) wrong here, make sure you have a complete and current backup of your disk(s). You probably won't need it, but it's still good practice to have a complete and current backup. Particularly in the unlikely event something does go wrong.
Download the Java kit directly from Apple, and install it yourself.
If that fails, boot the recovery partition (HT4718) and use Disk Utility to check the volume and then to repair the permissions.
If that fails, then download the OS X client 10.7.3 Combo kit (the Combo kit, and not the delta kit) and install that, then try installing the Java kit. The Combo kit installation is non-destructive.
Here are the direct link to the OS X 10.6.3 Combo (DL1484) and to the Java 2012-0003 kit (DL1515) kits.
Strictly speaking, the volume and protection repairs and the combo kit update probably aren't required here, but these steps have resolved a few errors. And again, have a backup.
These and other download kits are available from the Apple Download Servers.

To me the problem was that the time and date was wrong since I had running out of battery on my MacBook Pro. After adjusting the date and time i could update without problem.
Hope this will help.

January 31, 2010: Brattleboro Memorial
The public memorial was held at 3PM January 31st, at the Brattleboro Museum in Brattleboro, Vermont.
This was the Program, and the speeches are reprinted below:
Judy Freed:
Daniel died at New York Presbyterian Hospital where our family of 18 gathered closely around him to join in comfort care. Peter and I slept on cots next to him at night with Jonathan there too the last night. Our room was 14 floors above the East River. The lights of Roosevelt Island shined through our grand window. The outline of our apartment building across the water peaked through the 59th Street Bridge. It became our architectural home.
Dan sipped chocolate drinks forbidden for years. His beloved Yale cardiologist, Larry Young, emailed a hug and permission. Dan had already begun his feast so retroactive permission became another hug. Dan slept intermittently and often was peacefully delirious, repeatedly telling of a boat on which he was traveling. He wanted me to find the timetable so I could go with him.
The next to last night, about 3:00 am, with my head gently leaning into his, he lucidly described another hallucination. I asked him how he felt about having them. He said with pride "now I understand more about hallucinations." That instant was wondrous for me because he was the learner, researcher and teacher again.
The moment was something like our first date. As we wandered through MOMA 43 years ago we talked about process. He told me about the process of helping lawyers think through their use of laws — and I about therapy and teaching. Maybe you don't think that to be such a great first date. It was. But can you imagine — only just more than two weeks ago, in the midst of tears and anguish, in our darkened room, we had another date talking about process.
An old Washington DC friend called. He laughingly said "you know the only trouble with Dan was he had no interest in gossip." I had forgotten about gossip. I had been converted to process. I had been hoodwinked. So began an imaginary moment with Dan. Can I get him to gossip a little, for fun. No, I shouldn't be trying to change his style. Duplicating what he and I had done in our life together countless moments, my imagination pushed on and from my study I yell "hey Dan is hoodwinked one word or two? He becomes suspicious and asks "Why would you want to know about that? In my imagination I tell him and he gossips but only for a minute.
Here with you now I want you to know that in recent healthier days Dan and I thought together a little about this eulogy. Most of all he wants me to thank you. I join with him. Perhaps you can gauge the measure of importance for him to say thank you. Let me take a few minutes to illustrate.
First and last he thanks his dear extended family whom he loved without judgment– each and everyone. He was deeply proud of his children and the avenues they found with partners, children and careers. He enjoyed them in their various stages of development and in these last months was delighted to receive their many telephone calls and news. But don't be lulled into perfection here. He could say he was disappointed in each of us, with a touch of judgment, now and then. He could say he was dismayed. Ouch. Yet Dan would gradually find a way for healing, using his patient, listening talents.
He adored moments with each of you. He loved his friends from near and far. He loved his doctors in Brattleboro and the many medical people at the hospital whom he saw often. He loved learning about plumbing or mowing or truck fixing, judging, or sentencing, even his own medical case.
When our kitchen door opened and in came a visitor: a neighbor. a repair person, a town official or someone from further away, for us and our barking dog, Tali, it was a moment to be with a friend and to ask about their view of the world. Afterwards he would rehash the visit and be happy learning new things and feeling his delight about the visitor. That is what Vermont meant to him—– those moments of learning from you and enjoying your company for which he wants to say thank you.
He thanks the Museum and the River Gallery School especially for giving us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in art and he thanks them for giving me homes away from home. You saw some of Dan's sculptures in the slide show. He and I contemplated the Museum garden project often and he was happy picturing himself at a table in the garden, munching a sandwich and sharing ideas with a town friend or me.
He thanks Brattleboro the place we admire and love in which there is always someone to hug or share a word. How can we estimate the life giving force this town has for us.
He thanks Guilford for being a community of a rich variety of people and land. He loved town meetings and the way neighbors talked together about disagreeable matters.
He thanks his wonderful farm and home recently named Freed Road inside and out. He fell in love with it the first instant and never faltered. He did not mind when the loaned heifers broke through their fencing. He knew that meant he would see one of the Franklins.
His career within the law, in which he found his unique voice and used it with judges, students, government officials and school colleagues is one of his loudest thank you-s. He especially thanks his collaborators for joining with him when developing new ways to understand legal issues or how people could effect change.
He would say thank you to all those who's careers he helped design, partly for their own success and also because he felt creative in helping them think about their possible opportunities.
And he was attached to the Federal Sentencing Reporter as a co-editor and founder. Attached is the right word because pages of it often came to bed with us for continuing edits. At those moments I used one of my famous wifely inspired lectures and occasionally FSR waited until early morning.
He could talk about baseball or football but his favorite team was composed of combinations of legal and sociology people. His winning team members Professor Kate Stith and Judge Nancy Gertner, attended to him always, as he did to them, and in the last months they were adorable mother hens—-young mother hens. It turns out that love and intellectual legal matters can produce an amazing combination.
Hours spent on the phone, typewriter (remember) computer or meetings in his office working on challenging issues were pure joy for Dan. Sometimes it was difficult to get him home even after supper.
He loved his time at Yale, and with the Vera Institute of Justice in NY and the US Department of Justice. His delighted attachment to Yale of over 41 years began with the undergraduate swim team where he was known as Red Fred. He kept it a secret as to why so let us assume it has something to do with undisclosed athletic fame.
So — the final thank you from Dan, the one in his mind that tied all others together. You know. "My Judy" I adored being his Judy and we created an us-ness that we treasured every day. We traveled the world and loved to return to Vermont. I have taken care of him for some time. It was a privilege — really. We discovered patience and endurance not known before. Dan and I loved spending time together no mater how.
We had on going wishes. We wished for more days to live. We wished to find ways to answer his needs and also live life to the fullest. We wished we could keep some independence and do our own things. We wished to face the truths before us then push them aside and have fun. We did believe we fulfilled our wishes well enough. That allowed us to feel proud and give us peace of mind.
There is something more though. It is because of being with you and your thoughts or suggestions, your strengths, that our us-ness grew and made us more agile people for each other and ourselves and our wishes. I don't mean only now, even long ago and in between when someone taught us how to plant corn or cut down raspberries or take the snow off a roof. For all that Dan and I thank you very much.
SO NOW Daniel— Thank YOU!

Emily Freed:
I remember Thanksgiving weekend, my dad wasn't feeling well and just wanted to rest quietly. I sat down next to him on his favorite striped tan couch in the living room. I asked him if I could just hold his hand. He warmly smiled saying, "Yes absolutely. I would love that." We were both so content for several minutes. We sat peacefully. His warm hand felt soft and nurturing on my pregnant belly. I told him I loved him. I told him that often. I deeply hoped for Dad to meet my daughter. He was too sick to be at the hospital when Chloe was born on Wednesday January 6. Two days later after an unexpected decision to admit him to New York Hospital, Dad was being wheeled on a stretcher to an ambulance. Felix, Chloe and I were being discharged from our hospital. We knew Chloe would not be allowed to visit Dad once he was admitted to his hospital. Peter and Mom called us to say we had only a small window of opportunity for Dad to meet Chloe. We had to quickly navigate New York midday traffic in order to make this moment happen. As we approached the destination block, we received a call from Peter. He said, "Park behind the ambulance on the corner. Dad is about to come out in the stretcher." We made it with hardly a minute to spare. It was amazing. Dad came out of the elevator escorted by two kind paramedics who had waited as long as they possibly could. Two-day-old Chloe met Grandpa. Through teamwork we made it happen. I was so happy. When it was decided Dad was going to comfort care we were so relieved the pediatrician granted permission for Chloe to be present for those precious memorable days when everyone had a chance to say goodbye in just the way they desired. My dad's warm caring hand touched Chloe. He kissed the top of her head several times. He also held her with some assistance and looked down lovingly at her as she soundly slept. I told my dad I love him for ever and ever.He told me the same. I told him I'll take good care of Chloe. He told me "Oh I know you will lovie. She's wonderful." I am and forever will be grateful Dad waited for our Chloe. That he did. He waited.

What does it mean to be brave?
I never expected this question to fill my heart and my mind, to carry me through these past weeks as though borne upon a breeze, or to receive it from my father upon his deathbed as a final gift of magical surprise and endless depth. I never expected this question to make me smile, or allow me to comfort somber friends, or to leave me explaining in words that came out fresh and unplanned each time, that my father had had a beautiful death, a creative death, a death that had shifted my understanding of him as a person, and altered my understanding of what it means to be a man. I adored my father. I marveled at him and treasured him my whole life through. He made me feel more loved, more accepted, more optimistic, and lighter on my feet, than I can possibly describe. And yet for all these feelings, I never valued him for his bravery. His other qualities were so remarkable, and so sufficient, that I never thought about it; it simply never came up. His was a life of wise words, due diligance, careful consideration, and – as anyone who ever caught a ride with him knows – a deep and almost spiritual reverence for the speed limit.
And so it was more than a little surprising to find, as I knelt beside his body six hours after his death, before the nurse came in to wheel him away, and held his hand, and said my last thank-you, and pledged my last vow, that there in that room I was overcome with a sense of happiness, and togetherness, that has not left me since. But as I talked to my family about how they all were doing at the end of his long, patient and persistent fight, and heard that they too felt remarkably strong, I began to suspect that the reason we felt so together was because he had used his final days in a very particular way to help us all consider, and then answer, the question: what does it mean to be brave?
My father was not a metaphysical man. He wrote the most delightfully clever and twinkly poems to people on their birthdays; but he was not a poet. He cared deeply about justice, but in a real-world, not a Platonic way. As an undergraduate he majored in math, not philosophy, had planned for a career as an actuary, not a thinker, and took Yale's law school entrance exam one morning on a complete lark when his college roomates bet him he'd do well, and he, having nothing else to do, figured: what the heck. And then found that the test was fun, and legal thinking was fun, and in that endlessly admirable way of his trusted his gut and changed the course of his life. He wasn't a constitutional lawyer; he founded Yale Law School's clinical program, focused on the here-and-now challenge of protecting regular people from getting raw deals. He implicitly believed that the big ideas were already out there; the point was to get them mobilized. And yet in the days leading up to his death he did the most metaphysical thing I have ever seen anyone do. He found a way to make his death not be about him. In retrospect this should not have been surprising. My father always believed so deeply in other people that it was through their voices that he preferred to hear his own ideas. At Yale he poured his hardest work and greastest passion into editing the work of others rather than creating his own. He left a people trail, not a paper trail. Even as a metal sculptor it was his instinct to take the rusty shards and discards of times gone by, ask them how they'd like to fit together and what they'd like to become, and then solder them into compositions that were always relational, communal, emotional, and kind. So many of you have written in to his website to say, each in your own way, that this was my father's signature quality: he took you in with delight, treated you with respect, and believed in your potential. And so you left his presence feeling stronger about your self, and therby better able to focus on others. In his spirit I'd like to read three of your contributions now.
Tony Kronman, the former Dean of Yale Law School: Today, as on every other day of his remarkable life, Dan Freed is a quiet hero of dignity, courage and clear-headedness. There are many brilliant people at the Yale Law School. Dan is certainly among them. But he possesses something so much more valuable than brilliance. He possesses humanity–the all-too-rare gift of never underestimating others or overestimating onself. And because of this, Dan is beloved by all his colleagues: not merely respected and admired (which he is), but beloved. The example of his decency and kindness and deep wisdom about both the power and the limits of the law belongs to the permanent treasury of the Yale Law School. My love to you Dan, and to your family, which is so unbelievably lucky to have you at its center.
Fred Humphrey: We in Guilford have gained so much from our association with Dan. I think especially of the Board of Civil Authority where his calm manner and wisdom were so valuable regarding town affairs, and at the meetings of the Friends Of Algiers Village, Inc. where his very presence gave us hope and strength. Personally, I have never known a man for whom I felt so much respect and affection. I can't write this without tears in my eyes. Most of us were only dimly aware of his professional career and knew him only as one of us in our small, rural town. His great modesty never betrayed his many and sensitive contributions to the law and to human decency. He has left a beautiful legacy.
Julie Stewart: Dear Dan – I have to let you know how much you mean to me. I didn't go to an Ivy League school, don't have a law degree, and stumbled upon sentencing only after my brother received a mandatory minimum for growing marijuana. But you treated me with the respect and dignity that you showed everyone. You assumed that my ability to tackle sentencing policy was as good as any of your students. Your confidence in me was inspiring – and maybe a little intimidating because the last thing I wanted to do was disappoint Dan Freed! But I loved the challenges you posed, always presenting new questions about what good sentencing policy is. What does it look like? You didn't pose the questions knowing the answer – you, too, were trying to figure it out, which I loved. I love you, Dan. I will miss your dear smile, and soft voice, and deep wisdom. I hope you can go in peace, knowing how many lives you have touched, and how much you have contributed to this world. Goodbye, dear friend and teacher.
As everyone here knows, my mother, Judith Darrow Freed, saved my father's life. Over and over, in ways too numerous and invisible to count, she got him through one day at a time for year upon year, not just surviving, but thriving. And somehow, along the way, she and he fell deeper into love – not merely with eachother, but with their doctors, who fell in love with them too.
Yet even with Judy Freed at your side, death can be terrifying. Your self is coming apart. And it is natural, and normal, to focus on that self, and retreat into that self.
But this was not what my father did. On that transitional day when my mother knelt beside him and said that the time they had held at bay for so long had finally come, and that comfort, not cure, must now at last become their goal, he protested only once, saying "but I want to be married to you for 100 years." And so just as they had with every other challenge he had faced, they they thought about that, and found a solution. He slipped his wedding ring off, put it on her finger, and said "with this ring, I thee wed." And that, as they say, was that. His body, his self, so long the focal point of their lives, was now beside the point1. He just treasured, and used, the time that was left. My mom asked if she could get into his bed with him and she did, and they lay there snuggling as best you can in a hospital gurney, holding hands, and he whispered "I feel so privileged, I feel so privileged."
Later that day Mom got Larry Young, Dan's cardiologist of 13 years, on the phone to say goodbye. I want to share with you the brief transcript of Dan's converation with man who had valiantly tried, long succeeeded, but finally failed, to keep him alive.
Larry Young: Dan how are you?
Dan: I feel sad but accomplished.
Larry: Well Dan, we've know eachother for quite some time now. It was a privilege to work with you all these years.
Dan: That's how we feel. You took just marvelous care of us. You're a gem.
Larry: Well thank you Dan. I know you have your family around you. And you just had a new grandchild. So, Dan, the cycle of life continues. And you have Judy with you. She is just amazing. Judy is just really the best.
Dan: We agree.
Larry: Well it is a real honor to have known you for all these years and worked with you and been a part of your life.
Dan: We're even.
We're even.
Equality between people – children and adults, professors and students, defendants and judges, Vermonters and New Hampshirites — well, okay, there are limits — was never about abstract rights for my father. Equality was about fair trade, was about being even. It was a transactional truth: we each can receive as much from everyone else as we have to give; the trick is to make the trade, not prove its potential. And he believed this was true not just in law, but in love. In fact, I'm pretty sure he didn't see the difference. Dan Freed believed in you, loved you with all his heart. And you loved him back, with all of yours. For 82 years, it was a fair, fair trade. Which is why we are here today, to say back to him what he taught and treasured as the true meaning, as the unending goal, and as the sacred dream of human life:
We're even.

When my father first came to Yale law school, sentencing – that momentous event that falls between a guilty defendant's trial and his incarceration – was a neglected and largely hidden aspect of criminal justice, at least from the standpoint of academic legal studies. While clear rules governed arrest, and trial, and incarceration, sentencing was part wild west and part lottery. A huge amount of disparity was tolerated in a process that was supposed to be fair; if you got yourself a hanging judge, well – that was your bad luck. Dan Freed didn't believe in luck – not that kind. His signature creation at Yale Law School was a course that could only be conceived by a man who knew that we were all even. He collapsed the strict hierarchy of American law and brought state and Federal judges into the same room with law students, had them each read the same case, and asked them to explain to one another how they would sentence the defendant. As you can imagine, a huge amount of disparity emerged, which was precisely the point. Halfway through his career, the United States Congress invented a mathematical grid for calculating sentences, not unlike the one we've all used to look up our taxes. My father used his class to emphasize that this was far too blunt a solution, and left so many nuances out of sentencing that it created almost as much disparity as it was meant to correct. And so this math major spent his professional life fighting against the quantification and mathematicization of criminal entencing, and placed his faith in people, and the unbelievably sweet belief that through conversation – simple, untranscribed, halting, imperfect conversation – justice could prevail. Year after year, he asked his judges and his students to talk themselves into consensus, and consistency. In that space, for those hours, they were all even – even in being called on, even in being questioned, even in having to explain rather than assert their views. Well wouldn't you that the way Dan Freed made his death not be about him was by putting on that same class in his final four days of life? Though his body was bed-ridden, he vaulted himself into an emotional space I never knew existed, between life and death. And then he invited us into that space with him, like students and Judges asked to consider what to do between his verdict being read and his sentence being passed, and helped us think about what to do in a world he'd left behind. Which is to say, even when dying he was a guide at our side: he didn't make his death be about him. He made it be about us. My mother told me that a few days before he died she asked what would happen to her when he was gone and he answered, glowing, "you're just going to soar!" Emily called him on the phone once, crying, and he said "you're my sweetheart forever and ever. I hope you have the most glorious life." He learned all his nurses' names, thanked all his doctors, took every call, listened to every email. He let his end by an end for everyone, not just him. Two days before he died, he gathered his entire family, Judy and all his kids and grandkids, into his room overlooking the East River of New York. And I watched gaze at them in love and say their names as though they, and they alone, were the answer to that greatest of all questions: what is the meaning of life? And then he said a few words which I'd like to read to you now:
Dan: I'm so happy, couldn't be happier, that all of you came to this space today, that you know the time, and it's an opportunity for me to tell each of you, so I just wanted to say that living through all your lives, I really feel (and here he looked around the room at his various grandchildren, and teased each of them one last time) that I've been blessed with you little monkeys and you little geniuses and you little fishermen and you little kickers, so I want to say to you now, because I won't have a chance again, that you've been the most marvelous family that a grandfather, or a father could have, and I thank you so much for the sadness that I am sure all of us share that I'm not going to go on forever. So this is a time, this is a time, when we're going to have the opportunity to say goodbye.
After we miraculously danced him into his wheelchair just a few hours before he fell asleep for the final time, and rolled him out into the hospital's common area overlooking the river in an angled space that was not unlike the prow of a ship, and someone got him a chicken sandwich, and another got him some chocolate milk, I sat on the floor looking up at him as he looked out into the world for the last time. And with his kids and grandkids and wife eating and talking behind him so noisily that the nurses asked us to move, amidst all that hubub and life, he caught my gaze with his warm brown eyes and we looked straight into one another for a few seconds that will, in that strange way the universe has of working, last my whole life long. And in that moment I felt some force come out of him and flow into me, I felt something transmit between us. And it hasn't left, and I am beginning to think it never will.
And then he was ready to go. We watched him prepare. When he was just waking up, or falling asleep, he would say excitedly, urgently, eagerly, 'let's go.' Over and over – "let's go, let's go, let's go." When his body's toxins had pushed his lucid mind into a semi-dream, he told us he was on a boat, and was waiting for it to sail; he kept asking when it would go, and if he had any worry, it was that it would be postponed. Looking at some artwork on the wall at the foot of his bed once I caught him staring at the reflection of the door to his room. I asked him what he was doing, and he looked at me as though it were the most natural and common sense thing in the world and said "I'm waiting for it to open."
I want to leave you with one final anecdote. On the day we decided to withdraw care, an hour or two after the doctor had left, I was sitting next to my dad when all of a sudden it hit me that this really was it. After all his operations, all his blood draws, all his thumbs-ups as the orderlies wheeled into the operating room again, it was over. The medicine that had stood between my father and death as a protective barrier was about to be peeled away, and I was going to lose him. I threw myself on him, buried my head against his neck, and sobbed and sobbed, asking over and over where I could find him when he was gone. He didn't say anything, he just kissed my cheek, in these small little raspy kisses, and that was enough. The next day I came to visit, and my mother said to me "Peter, do you know how you asked daddy yesterday where you could find him when he was gone?" I said yes, and she said "well last night I asked him too, and we looked out the window, and we picked out some stars." I began crying, and looked at my dad and asked "is that true dad?" And in that light and bemused tone of his, that everyone here knows, he smiled without opening his eyes and said "it's truedad." Now you have to know him pretty well to know what he was doing there, but I can tell you that this was one of his favorite private jokes his whole life long, and one I'd always loved but never understood. What he was doing was putting the words true and dad together into a single word, a nonsense word that nevertheless said everything that needed to be said. It said that it was true. He and my mother had picked out stars, and he would be there, always, and everywhere else as well. And if she ever needed to find him, she could just soar, up and away, and there he'd be. And it said that there was a space between those words, and that it was his inclination to find the space between things where no one else was looking, and use it playfully, hopefully, and passionately to remake the world. But it also, I believe, said something about his sense of what it he meant his legacy to be. It said that even on his deathbed, he wasn't going to interfere with my thoughts. If I said true dad, he would say truedad in return. He would reflect my own words back to me, and by that generous act would tell me, for the hundred thousandth time, that he trusted me to think for myself, and learn for myself, and understand for myself, and be myself. The ball was in my court – always had been, always will be.
To leave this world without rage is one thing. And to leave this world without bitterness, to leave this world without regret, to leave this world with sadness and yet a twinkle in your eye, these are other things. Wonderful, marvelous things. But to leave this world without making your death about you, and in your final hours to help the ones you leave behind to use the space your loss will leave, this is something else entirely. This is love.
* * *
Daniel Josef Freed, I give you to the universe. I am now, and will always be, your true son. And you are now, and have ever been, my truedad. We're even. We're all even. And on behalf of everyone here I say to you now: we'll meet again, and again and again, in the spaces in between.
Thank you.

At 12:15 PM, as Judy was telling Jon and Amy about the time Dan had won a trip to the Olympics, and with Peter sitting beside him, Jon noticed he was breathing erratically. We all made it to his bedside and he stopped breathing. The family sat with him until 6pm, holding his hand, telling them they loved him, thanking him, and saying goodbye. It was a very peaceful and beautiful death. It was very like Dan to pass away when he could hear the voices of his family nearby, but when nobody was speaking to him, as he would have considered this impolite.
Saturday, January 16, 2010:
Dan has slipped into an obtunded state, and is sleeping comfortably.
Friday, January 15, 2010:
A bit of a miracle! After 10 days in bed, Dan had a burst of energy and we got him into a wheelchair, and took him out to the beautiful common area on the 14th floor, which instead of having a flat window has two angled windows that come together in a point overlooking the river. Dan talked with all his grandkids, ate a little chicken sandwich, had some soda and a cookie, and beamed and beamed and beamed. After he got tired we took him back to bed, and he whispered to Peter "thank the Lord for such fun." When he became a bit delirious later in the evening, he kept saying that he was waiting for a boat, and asking when the boat would leave, and whether the boat had been postponed. Later the boat became a ferry.
Thursday, January 14, 2010:
Dan, surrounded by his four children and six grandchildren, an a beautiful room at New York Hospital overlooking the east river, gave a very sweet speech about how much he loved everyone, how it was a sad time but also a time for thankfulness, and how he accepted what was happening. He was very calm and brave. Then each person came up and said a final goodbye to him, one by one. And then we had dinner. Dan was particularly excited by chocolate ice cream, which had been forbidden him for years by his cardiologist.

Q: Do you know what's happening to you?
Dan: Yes, I'm dying
Q: How do you feel about it?
Dan: I hate it. I love living!
Dan is resting comfortably at New York Hospital right now, and has agreed with his doctors and his family to stop all of his medical care. His kidneys and liver have failed, and dialysis and other treatments are only making him worse. His doctors believe he will probably pass away in "days" . However he still has his wits about him and enjoys diversions, so if you want to write in with any words of farewell, now's the time! He enjoys just hearing people's names, so don't worry about what to say.
November 4, 2009
As you probably know, Dan is unfortunately ill. His spirit is strong, he loves life, but his body isn't quite doing him justice. He is in his beloved Vermont, with his even more beloved Judy, and is clear as a bell and has million projects and ideas he'd love to work on.
Stephen Phillips
My name is Stephen Phillips and I was lucky to have known Dan Freed. I am also lucky to have Judy as a friend, and I'm very pleased to see his very talented children and grandchildren gathered today.
How do we measure the life of a man? A great man? In hours and days? Years and decades? Home runs hit? Accomplishments and awards?
Dan Freed touched many lives in ways so significant. As a teacher, he inspired his students to change the world. One student said "He taught me who I wanted to be, and who I wanted to be was Dan Freed."
Dan's work in sentencing of criminals was groundbreaking. First, Dan saw an injustice in the way the law was applied. Then, he went about fixing it. It was the way he went about his work that was so incredible. He started by listening and learning. Dan was a great listener. He valued new people for their ideas and perspectives- all kinds of people. He seemed to find good- some good- in just about everyone, and he took the time to listen. His handful of students took the seed of an idea, making a part of criminal law more fair, and ran with it. Just think about the people this was to benefit: the convicted criminals for whom much of society believes justice and fairness need no longer apply. But, he also worked for all of us, to make a society that is more just and more fair.
Dan wanted this to be a light hearted event. This is hard to do. He loved his family- Judy, his children, Jonathan, Amy, Peter and Emily. He felt lucky every minute he could be with you and your children, his grandchildren. He was very proud of all of you.
He loved his friends and the time he spent with them, talking and listening.
I wish I had known Dan as a young man. I can imagine him serving his country in the Navy- full of idealism. I see him at the Department of Justice righting all kinds of wrongs in the 1960's. I knew him as a retired gentleman. A wise professor. If we were still living in an age in which there were still princes or kings, Dan would have been a good one. He was wise, patient, discerning and fair.
His role as a husband to his wife Judy was how I observed him most closely. What a great love! If Romeo and Juliet had not had so hard a start, being star-crossed and all, and had survived to maturity, they might have had the chance to achieve what Dan and Judy had together. Devotion, respect and joy in being together. It was contagious to be with them and to see their love in action.
I will remember Dan always and he will continue to inspire me to be the best man I can be.
Ultimately, the measure of a great man may be is in the love he gives to all of those who surround him. Dan was great because of this great love.

John Watson may make his first appearance for Witham this season as they entertain Ilford at Spa Road on Saturday. Picture: STEVE ARGENT
Simon Spurgeon, Sports desk / / Sport
John Watson is set to make his Witham Town comeback after missing the start of the season with a frustrating summer injury.
The Town striker has missed the early part of the campaign, including Saturday's 2-1 FA Trophy defeat at Crawley Down Gatwick, due to an ankle injury.
But he may feature in Saturday's Ryman League division one north home game against Ilford (kick-off 3pm) and manager Garry Kimble says his return will be a boost on and off the pitch.
Kimble said: "John should be fit for this week.
"He played in the reserves on Saturday and came through that OK.
"His ankle felt a bit stiff over the next couple of days, but he should be fine for this weekend and that's great because we have missed him.
"He's great to have around the dressing room and his play on the pitch has been a great miss."
Kimble said he has no fresh injury concerns and Rhys Darg may also make his debut against Ilford after the Leiston loanee was unable to play in the Trophy game due to FA paperwork not being processed in time.
Following Saturday's game at Spa Road, Witham have arranged a home friendly match against neighbours Chelmsford City on Tuesday.
The game against the Blue Square Bet South side will kick-off at 7.45pm at Spa Road.
See the Witham and Braintree Times every week for all the latest news and views from Spa Road.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says a nuclear deal with Iran is an "important first step" toward addressing the world's concerns over the Islamic republic's disputed nuclear program.
Obama says the deal includes "substantial limitations" on Iran and cuts off the Islamic republic's most likely path to a bomb.
Obama spoke Saturday night shortly after the U.S. and five partners reached an interim nuclear deal with Iran. The agreement was finalized during talks in Geneva that stretched well past midnight.

I live in southeastern Virginia, midway between Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. I'm a physician assistant in the Emergency Room. I'm into classic movies, TV, music... I love to travel, try new things and do stuff outdoors. Traveling with Airbnb has been great, so fun to get to know people while traveling, and nice to stay at places that feel like a bit of "home away from home."

Could a Power Outage Become a Teachable Moment About Grid Resiliency?
One hundred and fifty-five thousand meters in ten states are still without power from the grid as a result of storms that occurred at the end of June. The household occupants and business owners relying on these meters sweltered and tallied up the impacts of losses caused by that lack of power. Predictably, there were immediate calls for undergrounding all lines to ensure that future storms do not cause the widespread and lengthy disruptions that occurred in those states and Washington, DC. To do that in the nation's capital is estimated to cost between $5 million to $15 million per mile. And even undergrounded lines can still suffer disruptions. As noted in last week's article, we need to think quite differently about how to design and deploy the Smart Grid to gracefully respond to disruptions.
Our 20th century grid, designed for centralized electricity generation and remote transmission, can benefit from new Smart Grid technologies that deliver resiliency through distributed generation for local consumption. Resiliency is a term that is often associated with self-healing communications networks. It describes the intelligent and automated ability to find alternate paths to transmit signals if a specific route is blocked. From conceptual and practical perspectives, resiliency focuses on prioritized recovery of service during and after disruptions. The Departments of Energy (DOE) and Homeland Security (DHS) made a start in this direction to identify vulnerabilities and develop a strategy for "designing, installing, and maintaining a resilient energy delivery system capable of surviving a cyber incident while sustaining critical functions." The DOE's Office of Electricity's Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration Division (ISER) is also engaged in research in "energy assurance" – looking at security, resiliency and survivability of key energy assets and critical energy infrastructure.
Engineering a Smart Grid with resiliency is essential to address disruptions caused by cyberattack. But the government's focus should expand beyond its limited grid infrastructure and cyber security orientation for economic as well as homeland security reasons. As the recent storm-related outages have amply demonstrated, our grid is exceptionally vulnerable due to its reliance on wireline transmission and distribution of electricity from centralized generation assets.
Microgrids, distributed energy resources (DER), and distributed microgeneration can help maintain minimized electric service at a hyperlocal level. The Solar Energy Technologies Program is researching the systems integration challenges and opportunities of wide scale, distributed solar assets tied to the grid. Increasingly sophisticated grid management software and communications networks that connect DER assets to utility operations centers present interesting opportunities to inject resiliency into the Smart Grid. With these technologies, it is possible to react to disruptions in the distribution grid and activate commands to DER assets that allocate at least minimal levels of electricity to local connections. However, we need new regulatory policies and metrics that encourage utilities and consumers – both residential and business – to invest in these solutions to build resiliency as well as reliability into the Smart Grid. For instance, Germany created a feed-in tariff (FiT) that applies to combined heat and power (CHP)deployments to encourage investments in these extremely energy efficient solutions.
Similar policies in the USA could encourage deployment of grid-tied microgrids and other DER assets, just as existing FiTs have spurred rooftop solar deployments. A resilient grid based on widespread DER with prioritized delivery could help "keep the lights on" for more customers despite disruptions caused by weather or human factors.

Teachable moment, yeah. Grid resiliency, nay.
The lesson is "utter unrelibiliity" of the grid, or "need for something better than a power grid" or "Energy Self-Sufficiency wouldn't be just conenient."

I don't understand it.
Well a wave is just a description of dynamics... it can apply to the position of an element of a string that's vibrating, or to the water level in a tank, or to pressure values in the atmosphere, or electromagnetic waves.
The wave is just a description of how perturbations (change) travels spatially through such a system as time passes.
We often take "wavefront" to mean the line along which the quantity that is "waving" is at a maximum. For example, with a water wave, it would be the line formed by the top of a ripple.
We could also use the minimum point (bottom of a ripple) or halfway in between, provided that we're consistent about it.
For a wave in three dimensions - as with a sound wave from a loudspeaker or the wave from a radio antenna, the wave front will end up (after the wave has settled down, a few wavelengths from the source) as a spherical shell of points that are all at the maximum, minimum or any other particular phase of the 'disturbance'.
The concept of a wave front is often useful because it represents a set of points that are equidistant from a point of origin (or some image of that point) or perhaps from a point where the wave will be focussed and all parts of the wave will arrive at the same time. However, this only applies when the wave front is the right shape and sometimes. points on the wave front will not arrive in step and the image will not form correctly (as with a badly focussed image on a camera sensor)
I suggest you Google Wave Front Images. There are many pictures of wave fronts used to explain a range of different phenomena. These may not give you a 'definition' but will show you what it's all about.
Separate names with a comma.

U.S. Coach Says World Cup Goal Shouldn't Have Been Disallowed
U.S. coach Bob Bradley maintains his team was denied a 3-2 World Cup victory over Slovenia when a goal was disallowed by referee Koman Coulibaly yesterday.
"It was a good goal," the coach told reporters today. "The only things that could be called are penalty kicks for us. You can speculate about which guy and everything. I think it's a waste of time. There was nothing there. It was a good goal."
Having drawn level after going in 2-0 down at halftime, substitute Maurice Edu's 86th minute strike appeared to have given the U.S. the lead, only for Coulibaly to disallow it. The Americans surrounded the Mali referee, demanding an explanation, and said he didn't give one.
The U.S., ranked 14th by soccer's ruling body, hasn't asked FIFA for an explanation of Coulibaly's call and in any event on-field decisions aren't reviewable. The team will move on to prepare for the last game of the round with Algeria, which tied England 0-0 last night.
The ties in Group C mean all the squads have a chance to qualify on June 23, when England will play Slovenia, which leads the group with 4 points. England and the U.S. are tied on 2 points, and Algeria has 1.
"All the teams have proved they can play with one another," U.S. defender Jay DeMerit said at a press conference. "A lot of times it comes down to single moments, and it will come down to what team takes those moments, those opportunities, when they get them."
Match Comeback
The U.S. had given up goals to Slovenia's Valter Birsa and Zlatan Ljubijankic in the first half yesterday. A win for 25th-ranked Slovenia, with a population of just 2 million, would have made them the first country to progress to the tournament's knock-out stages and would have meant the U.S. was all but eliminated from the event.
But a goal three minutes into the second half from Landon Donovan was followed by one from Michael Bradley, the coach's son to tie the match at 2-2.
With England and the U.S. tied going into the last match, there's a possibility that they could still be even on the last day with the same number of points and goals. It could go to a tiebreaker of drawing of lots to decide which team advances.
"I don't think anyone wants that," DeMerit said. "As players, as a team and the fans, it shouldn't come down to things like that. There's a lot of soccer to be played between all four teams. We need to make sure we take care of things on our end and make sure it doesn't come down to things like that."
