Approaches to Teaching the Works of Louise Erdrich
- Editors: Greg Sarris, Connie A. Jacobs, James R. Giles
- Pages: ix & 261 pp.
- Published: 2004
- ISBN: 9780873529150 (Paperback)
"This book will be an essential addition to the library of those who teach Erdrich's work, and it can be helpful for those interested in the complexities of the intersection between folklore and literature."
This volume seeks to enrich teachers—and students—understanding of the fictional world Louise Erdrich creates and to address the challenges of teaching her novels and poetry.
The first part of the book provides background readings that establish a context for teaching Erdrich and acquaint teachers with Native American traditions, history, customs, and culture—especially those of the Ojibwe, or Chippewa. In the second section, experienced teachers of Erdrich discuss the strategies they use to engage students in a sometimes unfamiliar world. Essays provide information on Erdrich's tribe, the Turtle Mountain Chippewa of North Dakota, and an overview of tribal history for the past 150 years; sort through Erdrich's large cast of fictional characters, with their complicated family ties and clan relationships; examine her collaborative relationship with her late husband, Michael Dorris; and offer analysis, cultural references, and approaches to teaching Erdrich's most widely anthologized poems.

I have a couple shrubs I want to plant on a slanted landscape; nothing severe, maybe 10 degrees. Should I plant perpendicular to the ground, or perpendicular to an imaginary level surface? If it makes a difference, if I plant it perpendicular to the ground, the top of the shrub will be angled directly east towards the sunrise.
Plants will grow up to the light. I recommend planting them perpendicular to the imaginary level surface. Anything else would look odd as the alternative is not seen in nature.
What will help is building a small ring of soil on the downhill side of the shrub and applying a few inches of organic mulch all round.

Most Dangerous SportsSports were you are very likely to get hurt (or killed) while playing!
The Top TenXW
There are so many fatal riding accidents that it is near impossible to keep count. Working around on with any living, thinking animal immediately presents obvious risks. Jade South, Jessica Forsyth and Emma Jonathan are just some names of promising young riders who have lost their lives doing the thing they loved most in the last 3 years. The first two names were girls of 14 years.
It should be horse riding! People are risking there lives! If you can't see that then your just a very stupid person! There are more deaths from horse riding each year compared to other sports!
" you play football? That's cute"
The first time I was bucked off I fractured my arm, sprained my neck, pulled a muscle in my leg, and dislocated my knee. When my cousin was a toddler she walked behind a horse and got kicked so hard she flew ten feet, became cross-eyed and since she hit a fence, she became paralyzed from the neck down. So yeah, horseback riding is VERY dangerous on and off the horse...
CHEERLEADERS, READ THIS. I have a few cheerleader friends who even admit that horseback riding is more dangerous. My sister's friend said that horseback riding was easy and that anyone could do it. She said that basketball was harder! Seriously? Then my sister put her on her barrel horse and told her to take her through the pattern. She started out because the horse was getting impatient with her and started rearing up and kept trying to bolt. She later said that it was harder than it looked. All because it looks easy, doesn't mean it is. Riders who know what they are doing make it look easy, but they are trying so hard. They don't know what to expect. We are always in suspense. I have been riding my whole life and have fallen off a total of 18 times. Once, I was loping bareback and my horse spooked at something. I was completely catapulted off of her, landed on my shoulder and then flipped down a bank. I hopped straight up to chase after my horse who was galloping home. When my ...more
I love horseback riding so much. I believe its extremely dangerous too! - jerk4lifeV1128 Comments
Bull riding is a amazing sport. Also a dangerous. You could break a lot of bones and be in bed for a long time. Bull rider's are risking their lives for everyone that thinks it's a fun sport it's not. What if when you fall down the bull steps on your guts hm, that would be kind of pain full. This list is kind of messed up
I totally agree with you this should be I the top of the list and you can have back broken as easy as that, the people who created bull riding or. Even do it are idiots wanting to kill themselves
For the bullrider this has got to be the toughest 8 seconds to endure, if you're successful, particularly in the short round with the bulls like Bushwacker, Bones, or Voodoo Child. But there is little danger to the audience as in other sports such as baseball. Baseball, to me, has the highest potential for serious injury... Not only to a batter, infielder or pitcher, but to spectators in the stands. If it isn't a super fast ball coming at you, it could be a splintered bat!
Cheerleading, lacrosse and horseback riding more dangerous than bull riding? Who is doing this list, the members of the Harvard Country Club?
There is no sport more dangerous than bull riding. Did anyone see the story they did on HBO's "Real Sports? " Bull riders suffer one "significant injury" for every 15 events. The bull rider they interviewed listed his injures which included several concussions, 11 surgeries, broken wrists, collar bones, legs, arms, numerous ribs, and several fractures to his face when a bull stomped on his nose! (I don't remember all of them, but it rivaled the injuries of Evil Kenevil. (sp?
My niece rode horse (competition jumping) from 7 years old to 17 and never suffered anything more than a bruise.

Sure, bull riding is dangerous, but horseback riding deserves number 1. I have a cousin who broke her back while riding, and she is an experienced rider.V278 Comments
Here's to the people who say cheerleading isn't a sport and that cheerleaders aren't athletes. The very definition of sport is, and I quote, "an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature. We practice just as much as you do. Every day of the week, 2 hours. We condition, We run, We do ab workouts and pushups and planks. No, we don't lift weights, we lift our athletes-and we hold them 10-15 feet in the air until our arms shake. Until our legs quiver. Don't doubt the flyers either. We have more muscle than you seem to think. The amount of balance, leg muscle, and core tightness it takes to stay in the air is unbelievable to someone who has never done it before. We run full speed at nothing, then flip in the air, twist, and land on our feet. We jump. We jump high-without a trampoline. Concentrating on pointed toes, extended legs, tight arms, jump height, facials, and smiling Ever based a basket toss? You get blood blisters on your hands. ...more
This is seriously perfect. My guy friend tried telling me today that cheerleading is not a sport. I really took offense to it. Yeah he plays football so he doesn't exactly see how hard we work. But the nerve that he had to say that made me sick. I told him that it is the most dangerous contact sport and he still continues to tell me that it is not a sport. All of these people dissing cheerleading need to take a step in our shoes if they really say that cheerleading is not a sport.
Okay so first of all to everyone who says cheer leading isn't a sport or its not dangerous. Think again. Football they have padding. Most other sports have padding because they are all scared to get hurt. Cheerleaders like me are fierce and we never give up. Football players have a broken toe and they let their coach know and then can't play until its better but cheerleaders could have a broken wrist and will keep it from the coach so they could finish the seasons. We cheer for months straight. Football players just go for one season. We go for multiple. We don't all date football players. That's a stereo type. That crap is in movies. My boyfriend is going to do football next year but I didn't date him because of that. Most of my team is single. We have great personalities and we're not rude or snotty. We work as a team because we have to put our lives at risk with each other. To the motorcross guy who said which is more dangerous being thrown about 60 feet in the air and falling or ...more
Every single time we (cheerleaders) throw a girl in the air everyone of us are taking a risk of getting killed! One wrong move could make her land on our heads and break our necks! One tiny mistake in cheerleading can leave many injuries! The reason it's so dangerous is because it's 5 different girls working together to accomplish one task and when one thing goes wrong all of them are at risk!
No one is going to kill there self cheerleading is not that dangerous. Gymnastics and bull riding r so much more dangerous!
Because I do cheer and people could dieV1719 Comments
Gymnast... Almost 11 years... Seen kids do double backs off beam and land on their heads and not be able to move. A girl was doing full twisting yurchenkos into the foam pit and broke both bones in her shin. I pulled in on double backs on bars and hit my feet (some serious soft tissue damage) and my head.
Yes my friends mom ripped her vagina doing gymnastics. She was 3 months pregnant at the time. Ouch.
The only reason people say that cheerleading is the most "dangerous" is because most cheerleaders are preppy, pretty, snotty girls that guys like to watch... Yeah well that should make it a wimpy sport, because most cheerleaders do cheer for looks and popularity and not to say they are in a grueling sport. I was a level 10/open gymnast when I stopped and picked up my dream as a full time coach, and I live in pain still from the intense means a gymnast must go through. I have watched my friends be rolled out on stretchers and had so man surgeries there families went into debt with the cost of gymnastics. At the same time compared to the difficulty level of gymnastics we have a low number of injuries only because we are literally trained how to fall, we workout and condition so much that we are so strong and used to pain half the time we don't even tell anyone about the constant pain we suffer. I broke my ankle once and I was forced to go to a doctor they told me I would be ...more
We aren't at all "preppy and snobby" and cheer is not up higher on the list because guys like to watch it. It's up there because we put our lives at risk. We throw girls 30 feet into the air and catch them. If you think that cheer is not even dangerous then you can try it yourself. Go ahead and hold someone up in the air while she hits different motions or you can try to be the one being up in the air standing on somebody's hand. Have you ever seen a girl rip a hole through her lip because he got hit in the face with her flyers head. And then continue to perform with a smile on. Have you ever seen someone break a bone and continue to hold her flyer in the air like there is nothing wrong. Probably not. Because we are cheerleaders. We are very tough. Sure gymnastics is hard. I used to be a gymnast. But seeing it from both sides I definitely know that cheer is harder and more dangerous.
Gymnastics is very dangerous it is an amazing sport and just by doing it day by day you risk your life just in the gym. It takes a lot of concentration to do a complicated tumbling pass with the slightest impression in the back of your mind knowing that yes I could kill myself doing this and yes I will regret it when I fall on my neck/back halfway in the middle of a full twist and maybe have a slight concussion. But you know what us gymnast, we are not cry babies we fall on our heads, stomachs, backs and butts so, many times in just one practice that we seem to get used to the fact that gymnastics is HARD and DANGEROUS! But we keep trying because we know that with practice and Injuries, live threatening injuries that we can achieve what we want to achieve. Because why would someone want to run 16mph towards a metal table and throw themselves into twist and flips just to get a judge hold up a few numbers? Well I if your not a gymnast you wouldn't know the feeling that comes with ...more
I do gymnastics and I could break my neck because of it.V628 Comments
I find it funny that all of you football players are saying things like "Are you kidding me! Cheer leading and horseback riding arnt even sports! Each week of nfl at least two people get concussions or broken bones" and
"Football is dangerous and horse riding and gymnastics aren't sports! " Then you say "if you have never played football then don't say it's easy! " Like really? Have you ever ridden a horse? And I'm not talking about being lead around on a pony when you were 5! Every time I go to the barn we do conditioning, oh and this is every day and I'm there for up to 5 hours. Conditioning consists of running up a steep hill... 20 times, running across a feild that's about 100 meters holding a hale bail that weighs about 75-100 pounds... 5 times (back and forth). Then we do 100 sit-ups, then we do a wall sit for 10 minutes, then we repeat this 5 times. Also when we ride it looks like we are just sitting there... Yea. No. When we ride we have to ...more
Horse back riding is a sport! People spend there lives training for barrel racing or jumping, I'm one of them, so don't say its not a sport.
Football is one of those sports were every game someone is injured and can't come back for a few weeks! We put our careers at risk every day. One wrong move and you could have an injury that impacts you for the rest of your life. Also concussions from football affect you the rest of your life, a concussion you get in high school can come back 15-20 years later and kill you. That's why we have so much protection, how many other sports can you play with a broken arm and not really even notice it until you get back to the locker room. We play with broken toes, broken fingers, screwed up knees and shoulders, and many other injuries and not even come out of the game. Coaches constantly scream in your face and you can't get your feelings hurt, you just understand they're trying to help you. Cheerleading is not a sport more dangerous than football.
I played football for around 11 years and this sport is more dangerous than cheerleading. Seriously, at the games the cheer leaders just sit behind us and start signing their cheers and doing what ever they do while there is a game going on. There's halftime when you go out on the field and do the pyramid or whatever, but most of the football guys and team are focused in what their coach is saying about what the heck is going on in the game. If you think doing planks and abs are really that bad, that's a breeze compared to what we do. Try being coached by an ex US Army Ranger, and doing the drills, such as Oklahoma and King of the Pitt. I've seen my fare share of team mates getting hurt, bloody noses and scratches from these drills, and even in the game. I recall a couple time an ambulance would have to come onto the field during a game and help a team-mate or player out. Seriously these injuries the players get put them in the hospital for a good week, concussions are usually the ...more
I'm a cheerleader and this is actually really offensive. First of all you have no idea what you are talking about. Second we do stunts that you wouldn't even know what to do. And I suggest you try doing what we do for a change and maybe you will have more respect for us cheerleaders. The cheers we learn are for you guys out there on the field. If you don't like them go ahead and say something because most of us work hard for what we do. And the girls that do their makeup for the game are ridiculous I agree with that part but I don't understand why you would put that on all of the cheerleaders in the world. And you have to remember there are other sports in this world. Why dis on cheerleaders when they are the ones keeping the boys motivated or at least trying? If anyone disses on all cheerleaders please check yourself you know we aren't all that way.
If you've seen the movie "Concussion", you'll probably understand why this one is top 5 - McgillacuddyV423 Comments
Hockey is should definitely be in the top 5 or at least ahead of soccer. You are constantly getting hit into the boards which can lead to broken bones, concussions and more. I broke my arm twice from a slash, lost 2 teeth getting high sticked, and KO some guy in a fight
Come on! WAY more dangerous than soccer! I see only 3 players in a soccer game get knocked down. In hockey, EVERY player gets knocked on their ass at least 3 times per game from what I've seen! I can't even name one NHL player that STILL has all their teeth except for the first year players.. Did I mention you are allowed to fight? AND it's full contact. Face first into glass walls, I'm not even 20 and I lost a tooth ALREADY. Worst impact was ending in a 3 week coma. I slammed another player into the wall, BROKE the glass and his whole face was covered in BLOOD! (it was nasty) slamming a guy on grass is nothing.. You wanna talk about pain, how about HEAD FIRST ON ICE! Let's talk about more pain, how bout a 110mph puck in the face.. Never happened to me... Well not yet but I've seen it plenty of times.. Not pretty! Which is harder? Running or skating? Obviously skating! To play hockey, you need to skate just as well as you can walk and run. Anyone can run backwards. Try skating ...more
Alright I've been playing hockey 3 years (now midget) each year was to hospital at least once, broken bone, fracture, sprains, I'm lucky! Coulda had some bad concussions, throat slit by a blade, its rough and some people go out to hurt people, on ice, its hard look what happened just the other week habs vs bruins, chara, that happens more than that, that was just serious, never know what can happen, horseback is dangerous too I do it, not as dangerous, but soccer? Come on seriously? Put some hockey players on the ice with just shin pads you see what happens then! We've broke the glass 3 times this year with pucks, a midget team! They're hard rubber and go fast.. Maybe not number 1, but past soccer? I think so
I'm a girl and play on a boys team. Yes hockey is really hard. I've been to the hospital for 2 years. Hockey is way harder then softballV319 Comments
Boxing is brutal. Much more dangerous than the other sports on here. Don't get me wrong, I ain't ripping on any of the other sports on here, football, hockey, etc are all still rough, but think about boxing. The pure science behind everything in that sport is brutal.
Boxing is 50% hitting and 50% not getting hit. When you play football, your goal is to run the ball down to the field and score a touchdown. When you play hockey, your goal is to slap the puck into the net. When you play baseball, your goal to to hit the ball outside the field. When you play basketball, your goal is to shoot the ball into the net. When you box, your goal is to physically and intentionally hurt your opponent. You also have to be quick and be able to have the energy to move around just to not get hit. You play football. You play tennis. You play volleyball. You don't "play" boxing. When somebody hits you in the face with the intention to knock you out, break your nose, or give you a black ...more
One mistake in article... Dude damage is most with smaller gloves because force is distributed in less area ultimately causing more damage
Boxing is dangerous you people say it's just babies hitting each other in the face. REALLY YOUR PUTTING STUFF SUCH AS CHEERLEADING IS MORE DANGEROOUS? Let me ask you one question. Have you ever been hit by a 12 pound mallet in the face going 20mph? I don't think so and that is the average punch by a pro boxer. Imagine getting hit my 500 of those! YOU THINK BOXERS ARE WEAKLINGS? And the training for boxing is brutal. Running 5 miles a day, hitting a 150 pound bag for an hour... If you think boxing is a children's sport imagine fighting Mike Tyson, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali, Nikolai Valuev... You'll probably be dead before round 1 is over. 9 out of 10 pro boxers have concussions that decrease the life expectancy for people like them. Sure you other sports hurts so bad to fall on the ground. Imagine breaking a few ribs, your nose, bruised eyes, severe brain trauma, even death. Sure falling 15 feet, getting rammed by 250 lbs imagine 1000 pounds of force to your face! If you ...more
Unlike most sports that require pads, boxing and MMA are pretty much raw fighting with just gloves and shorts. Unlike other sports where causing someone injury isn't always intentional, boxing and MMA are sports where people are really trying to hurt their opponent. I think purposely trying to hurt someone is worse than doing it on accident. Motocross, bull riding, and horse riding are things that I do not consider to be sports only because they require little to no actual physical activity. Cheerleaders don't wear pads either, so they can have that, bug most of the injuries caused are unintentional. That's why I think boxing and MMA are the most dangerous sports.
Horse back riding is a sport! I have fallen of countless times, onto jumps, into the rock solid ground, or even into the fence! I have personally been at a show when a rider fell off from making 1 small mistake and she got stepped on! How bout you try it before you underestimate equestrians! And I don't mean going to the fair and riding a pony, I mean galloping at a jump and getting over it without hitting the rail, or falling of. And there is protective gear, some riders just choose not to wear it! In Dover they sell protective vests. And if it wasn't a sport why would they have it in the Olympics? I don't see boxing in the Olympics...
The aim of the game is to hurt your opponent, and cheer leading's aim is to jump of your friends shoulders?V83 Comments
Cheering I understand. But it's not more dangerous than BULL RIDING! Nor is it more dangerous than Lacrosse... Or Wrestling. Wrestling should definitely be in the top 5 at least! I've been a wrestler for years now and I KNOW how dangerous it is. Hell, I've had 7 practices so far this season (I'm writing this comment 2 weeks into season) and I have already re-injured my busted shoulder and my left leg is almost immobilized from landing on someones arm 50 times in ONE PRACTICE... It hurts. And I'm no softy. To the other posters, fear is inevitable. You must conquer it in order to be a successful anything. I believe that this article is biased... But so is every comment on it. Honestly, a cheerleader probably wrote it BUT... I'm a wrestler - just voicing my opinions. Every sport has it's risk - but there is no way that cheerleading is the MOST dangerous sport. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that wrestling is. I'm just stating my opinion.
P. S. - Lacrosse is probably #1 or ...more
I currently wrestle for my highschool and I can say from experience that wrestling is a pretty dangerous sport. luckily, I haven't come across many severe injuries, but I know lots of people (practically my entire team) who have broken bones, injured their backs and knees, injured their necks, received cauliflower ear, received cosmetic injuries come across concussions, dislocated shoulders, and still wrestled the next day after coming across some of these injuries. With this I do believe wrestling is a dangerous sport, but definitely not as dangerous as bull riding, football, or MMA. personally I think mma is the most dangerous sport. even though in my eyes wrestling isn't the most dangerous sport, I still believe that it's the toughest sport, and makes tough individuals. I've never met a successful wrestler who didn't have a killer instinct, a high pain tolerance, and a competitive drive.
Wrestling is VERY dangerous and I know why.. When I was fourteen I started wrestling and at first I felt like I could do it but then my enemy attacked me so angrily I broke my two legs my nose and one of my teeth came out. So from now on I get beaten up a lot and I always injure SOMETHING in my body and yeah cheerleading is dangerous but not dangerous enough to come TOP. The whole point in wrestling is HURTING somebody! So you get beaten up hurt or injured much more in wrestling.
Wrestling you mean www or the other oneV86 Comments
I come from South Africa. Rugby here is way more tough than in Europe and the USA. It's nothing like NFL, because its meant for men to play. Rugby is a much more quick paced and rough and there are no pads needed because we ain't girls.
I've played rugby for 8 years and I have have my face split open teeth put through my cheeks and lips, sprained ribs dislocated thumbs and shoulder, broken nose (twice) ligament damage in my knee elbow sholder and neck, knocked out roughly 5 times, concussions, muscle tear, and some bruises and cuts, but I still love playing :D because I have done worse injuries to other by running into them when crash balling such as beaking their jaw, other their nose, others I knocked out their teeth, I've broken peoples ribs I've broken peoples legs and wrists
Id say this sport should be number one in the list and its more tough in europe than south africa in my opinion
It has no pads if your hit you can break around 3 to 5 ribs or more!
In rugby I had hit a kid so hard that his jaw popped out and lost 3 teeth that was a month agoV126 Comments
Every lacrosse game, your nearly guaranteed to have at least one serious injury. In our last game, we had to stop 12 seconds early when one of the kids on the other team got sandwiched... Hard. Concussion. Dislocated shoulder. The whole shebang. We called in the ambulance and the kid didn't remember half of it the next day. The best part: it was a completely legal hit. Today. Our goalie got knocked unconscious by a hit. A guy got hit in the throat with a cross check (have you ever been hit in the throat by a guy sprinting at you? All we could do watch watch him squirm on the ground, struggling for air. ), and one of the guys on the other team took a shot on goal and hit our teammate straight in the head. That knocked him out for a little bit there too.
THIS IS DANGEROUS! I'm a goalie and I'm putting my life on the line when I step in the cage.
OK so as goalie, you guys are WRONG. I've broken bones three times in the past two years and that isn't even bad. The pain I get from breaking bones isn't even bad, past two times I've broken I haven't gone in for two weeks because shin hits are so much worse and they don't break and I just assume "hm well this is like a 6/10 compared to the 9's I get from shin hits at (as low as) 65mph and (as high as) 88mph (clocked by not even my hardest shooting teammate and I'm only in HS, college and pros is normally 90. Cheerleading really isn't that dangerous in terms of extremes, multiple players have died. Everyday situations, multiple players on each team break bones in a year while everyday situations for cheerleaders is a 10 foot fall onto a padded mat, sprains are what most cheerleaders face. Hockey is just lax with more pads, Horseback riding is pretty dangerous (for extremes only though ie trampling) and football... Well no one really dies in football (sorry to sound extremely ...more
More and more kids are playing lacrosse. These kids are coming from sports like football and don't even respect the fundamentals. I just finished 8th grade, and our team had a terrible season. Even though we're very skilled. Our goalie broke his collarbone in game 1 and our top defender broke his arm the following Wednesday. I suffered a minor concussion towards the end of the season as well. Lacrosse is a violent sport, which is why the refs make way too conservative calls now.V283 Comments
The Contenders
Definitely the most dangerous. And to all you people that think that cheerleading is the most dangerous, tell me this. Is falling in cheerleading from about 10-15 feet or falling from up to 50 feet going 35 or 40 mph more dangerous? You decide..
Cheerleader below... The highest basket toss was 17 feet so shut up honey - Gshayea_shandi
Hah I can't believe motocross is number 9, this is mostly due to the average persons lack of knowledge of the sport and how extremely dangerous it is, there isn't just a possibility of getting hurt but it is guaranteed that at some point you will be injured..
Anyone who's played any other sport knows that moto-cross is by far very very hard
Horse riding lol ride a motorbike that is solid and a exhaust pip that will give you a burn of your life time could crash then the bike flips on the your leg and when your injured you ain't gonna lift it off when all so the exhaust pip slowly burning in your leg,V352 Comments
How is football higher on the list, when rugby is the same sport, just without the padding? Rugby players in pads would kill football players.
In rugby people are intentionally trying to get you down, plus you have no protection. People on the ground getting stepped on by a 180 pound man with cleats doesn't feel good. Yes sports like motocross are dangerous but in moto people aren't trying to hurt you. For every rugby game you play there is a guarantee that you will be sore, and if your lucky you won't be injured. Imagine running at full speed and then having another person running full speed tackling you from the side, the impact on your spine and ribs is brutal, knocks the reach out of you and makes you feel like throwing up, but you have to keep running and keep tackling, rugby is not for the weak and it is dangerous no doubt. Not as dangerous as skydiving but certainly more dangerous than soccer and cheer leading and moto!
Rugby requires no padding and football is based off of it, if boys say football is the most dangerous sport they are wrong
Looking at the toilet is scarier than rugbyV143 Comments
MMA is a sport that no normal person can handle. Jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and etc, with little to no protective gear. Concussions and bone breakage is a must in this sport. Death at an early age is almost impossible to escape.
UFC fighter are bad asses they could break bone with one punch most dangerous in my book
MMa is for sure on of the most brutal and dangerous sports out there. Imagine getting elbowed and kneed in the face several times than thrown to the ground and getting punched while on the ground until you can't see straight and then expected to do it again. And again. And again. So yeah for all you haters out there that's mixed martial arts. Trust someone who knows what it feels like

What! Are You kidding me? Has Anyone ever actually seen Parkour? Look up the 'Worlds Biggest Parkour jump', and its across two buildings 20 stories high! Come on Parkour brothers and sisters, VOTE!
Every time Traceurs practice Parkour on a high level, they risk the chance of injury and death. Especially when attempting high jumps and stunts. Can the rest of the sports boast in jumping down 20ft objects and landing unscathed? Definitely more dangerous than cheerleading. Yeah, you sissies can break a bone or get paralyzed if something go wrong. In Parkour, accidents on high levels are non-existence, it's death. Land wrong from a jump- death. Miss a precision jump in heights- death.
I, myself am a Traceur. And I was extremely surprised that parkour is this far down! Come on people! The whole point of parkour... The reason people do parkour, is not to get from point A to point B the fastest (although that's the aim) the reason people do it is for the adrenaline. Knowing that one wrong footing or placing your hand 1 inch off, could kill you. Cheerleading? Are you serious? The only reason it's number 1 is because there are so many girls that do it! I would love to see a cheerleader cat to the edge of a 3 story high building or jump off 2 stories onto concrete (Not having a bunch of people there to catch you) and tell me it's not dangerous! I'm not saying it's the MOST dangerous sport... But under cheerleading. No. It's common sense. Go look up and watch some PK before you vote... Really people!
Parkour for the win... Wait a minute *Turns On Music and jumps then crashes into a brick wall* - ARandomPersonV116 Comments
Ok for all you haters... Let me just tell you something. To be a soccer player you have to be in amazing physical shape. So listen up cheerleaders and football players, because you seem to be the biggest haters. In cheerleading you get 2 minutes and 30 seconds to go out and dance, jump around, and lift up a girl who weighs around 110 pounds with 3 others helping you. 2 minutes and 30 seconds? Are you kidding me? That's like literally 5% of a soccer game. Plus, you guys get almost 6 months to practice those same 2 minutes and 30 seconds. We get about an hour and a half to practice something that might happen in a game. Soccer is unpredictable. You never know when or what's gonna happen. And you have mats to protect you from "falling". We have dirt and rocks. Lastly, you guys complain about running two laps around a mat the size of a basketball court. We run around a field that's bigger than a football field for 90 minutes, and it's not a jog. Hell no, if you jog you're done. ...more
I as well play soccer and horseback ride, and I think that both sport require an incredible amount of focus and dedication. And even if you can be subbed out in soccer some players are in the whole time. Both sports are unpredictable from the horse to the players on the field.
Of course soccer isn't the most dangerous sport on earth (I'm probably the only person with the common sense here) but it is not just a sport that any one could play you know, you have to be super fit to become a professional. Physically and mentally, you have to be smart as well, one mistake can cost the team a lost, that's why soccer players play it safe, you know passing it around until they get to the opponents half then start attacking but there are a lot of players out there that likes to risk it, you know those tricky players that does amazing tricks. If you think it is so easy then go and play a competitive game of soccer, you won't even last a game, you'll probably get way too tired to play. As I said before soccer players are really fit and that's why a lot of soccer players are models, and their body fat percentage are real low (just saying). Another thing, you should know that normal soccer (like high school ones) are not like the professional ones, there aren't cameras ...more
Been playing for over 10 years and in that time I haven't broken a bone but that is only because I have unusually dense bones. I have seen so many broken legs, torn ligaments, broken shoulders, collar bones, twisted ankles are quite easy. In a Under 14 game I witnessed one of my team mates break a oppositions' leg and the bone was poking through the skin and sock. The blood made a puddle on the grass. A lot of damage to the knees particularly the cartilage and ligaments. I have seen the occasional arm break as well from a bad scuffle or a rough shoulder on shoulder contact. But just like any other sport the fights are quite common particularly in a rivalry game. I have also seen the results of a tackle called Studded Tackle. With both studded boots pointing sliding at the player, I have seen legs bend like jelly at those tackles. The victims of those almost never play a game again, and take months and even years to even walk properly. Those types of tackles are instant reds, but that ...more
I don't get it. Soccer is not that dangerous. It's safer than bowling!V357 Comments
If the parachute doesn't open then you're pretty much dead
Skydiving needs someone with a strong heart and needs to practice well before diving skydiving is one of the most dangerous games that people above 18 must go and practice it as well as jumping from high places
Not as dangerous as some might think. Certainly no where close to BASE jumping. Look up swooping and now skydiving just got more dangerous
Not really a sport but very dangerousnessV30 Comments
With base jumping, you're jumping of a 500-800 ft structure (sometimes even lower) but with cheerleading you're jumping off your best friend's shoulders? That doesn't really add up.
MUCH MUCH harder than it looks, easily #1, you must get a jump, and then steering is super hard to control, but if you don't steer well you will run into the edge of the cliff and die.
You must open the pursuit at the right angle, time and place if you want to stay alive, then, you must control your para-suit so that you land in the right spot.
The landing is also very dangerous as well, you could get seriously injured.
How is basejumping not in the 3? Never less 5 or 10 haha. This is a sport where you can make no mistakes. Even if you pull your parachute does not mean it will open in time or if you will land in control. The slightest breeze can through you off and kill you
I don't even think you have to explain why base jumping is dangerous. You're jumping off a base that's 490 feet in the air.V17 Comments
Free climbing(rock climbing) can get some one extremely injured or even maybe killed! If you are on belay and something goes wrong and the person accidentally drops you... I went on a few other websites and they said rock climbing was either number 3-5... That doesn't even mention when some one's free solo climbing! That's when you climb with no rope what so ever!... I think this website is completely under estimating free climbing on so many levels
Rick climbing is easily one of the most dangerous sports out there. When your on belay, your relying on your equipment and abilities to stay alive, along with other people, especially your belayer, who literally has your life in their hands. If a piece of equipment breaks, or a rope snaps, your dead. Free soloing is even more dangerous, without any equipment to break your fall. Many companies such as Cliff don't even sponsor many free climbers any more, though many have amazing skills such as Alex Honnold. If you do a rate out of 1/3 between climbing and other sports measuring how dangerous they are, climbing will be sure to surpass the other sports by far. I love climbing and am extremely passionate about it, but it is extremely risky.
Free climbing should easily be #1, most people won't climb a tree to the top let alone a vertical rock. Angles 90 degrees or more, no ropes... Thousands of feet up. How is horseback riding anything compared to this.. You see this should be judged off of the consequence of making a mistake. You make a mistake horseback riding or cheerleading then yes you can get hurt I'm not saying there is no danger, but you make a mistake free climbing and your paralyzed from the neck down, consider yourself lucky.
I agree free climbing is difficult, but with horseback riding you are not in total control. You can also get paralyzed if you have a bad enough fall. You have to remember that when riding horses, the horse has a mind of its own!
I have previous indoor and outdoor free solo climbing experience, without a rope, scaling walls up to 20 metres high, and I know, one tiny error, one tiny mistake and you go splat.V17 Comments
If we consider life or death issues, Mountaineering is up there. Close to 300 people have died attempting to climb the Everest alone. Well over a thousand deaths for 8-thousanders climbs, and plenty of deaths in smaller climbs as well.
As a percentage of people attempting the climb, fatality rates in mountaineering are far far higher than they are in any of the sports listed in the top ten.
And if we compare the seriousness of injuries, one should remember that a broken bone or a trauma of some kind occurring during a climb is made far far worse by the lack of access to medical services. If you break a body part while cheerleading, you get rescued within seconds and minutes later you are in the emergency room.
Cheerleading is tough, it's very challenging and fortunately, it's not even close to being one of the most dangerous sports.
How is this not at #1 or close to that. Ok cheerleaders see you on the mountain. Lets really put you to the test. So basically to start out you save up a few thousand even to start. Then you fly 5000 miles or so to your destination. Then you take a never ending hike up the mountains and through all the villages with 30 pounds on your back the entire way. Finally you make it to the mountain out of breath and sweaty but cold. As time goes on air becomes more and more of a need until your taking 20 steps with one breath. You can't even enjoy yourself once you get to the top because you have to rush back down due to the lack of oxygen. This may sound like it's a two or three day trip. Try two or three weeks. Or even months depending on weather. You stick to your competitions, we will stick to our goals to survive.
With the risk of Altitude sickness, Avalanches, Frostbite and just falling off the mountain high altitude mountaineering is probably the most dangerous sport you can do. Above 7500m (24606 feet for you Yanks) if you don't drink at least 4 pints of liquid before you go to sleep you probably won't wake up.
Of those that have attempted K2 50% haven't made it back alive. One of my best friends died mountaineering in the alps a few years back and others have lost fingers, toes and tips of ears / noses to frostbite.
Get this to the top now, by far the most dangerous sport out there, the % of people who die whilst climbing is huge compared to the odd footballer every year.V25 Comments
Ok I will always think cheerleading is dangerous but so is surfing my dad was surfing yesterday and cut his foot open and had to have 8 stitches in his foot(it almost hit his artery and could have killed him) he had to have 12 staples in his head because one of the fins on the board got stuck in his head (long story) he also broke his neck (when he was 16) and many more injuries and seriously I can't believe golf is on the thingy and the comments are so stupid like the one that says your back could give out... That has NOTHING to do with golfing it could happen anytime and yea I mean you could get hit in the head with a golf ball but you would have to be pretty retarded to swing you club the wrong way and aim the ball at your head in cheer you have to throw a 100lb girl in the air and risk your life for her because if she falls from that height SHE could die my friend had to be rushed to the hospital because her stunt group dropped her and she had to have an emergency surgery on her ...more
Anything could happen to you when surfing, it could be a normal day and you go for a wave and fall and this time you hit your head on a rock or sandbar. It is unpredictable, just the slightest shift in the wind can decide whether you'll make out the way you went in. Your board could pop up and hit you, you can cut your face, foot, leg, etc. You can get held under water and drown. And then of course there is the fact that are sharks and other fish in the water that could mistake you for a meal. Surfing is so unpredictable which makes it such dangerous sport.
I've seen numerous amounts of surf injuries including seeing sharks, stingrays, jellyfish etc. Surfing can't be compared with all those you call dangerous sports. You can also get hit by the rocks or the reef and those are fatal or really painful injuries. Surfing those huge waves like mavericks is super dangerous because you got the reef the rocks the cold water the sharks and the wipeout so that's probably the most dangerous or one of the most dangerous sports in this list
Surfing and cheering to me are my favorite sports and to me they are the most dangerousV27 Comments

ART/ARCHITECTURE; An American in Paris, Looking for Answers
By HERBERT MUSCHAMP
Published: January 20, 2002
PARIS— BE a patriot: go to Paris. If everything must be privatized, then it is up to you to establish your own private NATO. I started putting mine together on a recent trip to the City of Light. Our philosophical roots are there, our notions of modernity took shape there, too, and the political sacrifices made on behalf of these progressive steps are inscribed everywhere in the cityscape. Those who dread dark days ahead on the American cultural front owe themselves a visit home.
This season, several events should serve to reinforce Franco-American ties, especially those stretching between Paris and New York. A retrospective of the French architect Jean Nouvel, now on view at the Pompidou Center, includes three designs for New York projects. Two of them are still on the drawing board. Overall, the show establishes Nouvel as one of the four or five leading mythologists of the contemporary city.
A new venue for contemporary art has just opened at the Palais de Tokyo, a 1930's Trocadero-style building handsomely remodeled by two young architects from Bordeaux. Open from noon to midnight, and envisioned as a hangout, this self-styled ''site of contemporary creation'' promises to rekindle some of the tensions between Paris and New York that enlivened 20th-century life.
Not least, there was a magnificent and macabre show at the Louvre, ''La Peinture comme Crime'' (''Painting as Crime''). Featuring the lithographs of Odilon Redon, one of the great figures of fin de siècle decadence, the exhibition cast an unearthly light on the theme of terror, a topic that is likely to grip the American imagination for some time. Though the show has closed, a catalog is available from the Louvre.
But the streets of Paris are the most illuminating draw at any time of year, particularly if you prepare yourself beforehand by sampling Walter Benjamin's ''Arcades Projects,'' which Harvard University Press will issue in paperback next month. This stupendous, 1,000-page book is the urban equivalent of Freud's ''Interpretation of Dreams.'' In it, Benjamin deciphers the 19th-century industrial city through what he considers its paradigmatic architectural form: the glass-vaulted, enclosed shopping passages that riddle the cityscape between the Opera and the Marais.
Baudelaire is the book's violet eminence. He was, Benjamin says, the first poet to write about the city as other poets had rhapsodized about nature. The ''Arcades'' is a portrait of the Paris that Baudelaire might have seen had he been retrofitted with Surrealist spectacles. The network of interior streets, packed with luxury goods, is transformed by Benjamin into a labyrinth of subconscious desire. Surrealism as an analytic method begins with Benjamin's errand into the maze.
You can test your own subconscious responses by visiting two adjacent arcades that run parallel to each other off Rue des Petits Champs near Place des Victoires. The Galerie Vivienne looks much as it did in Benjamin's time, a musty relic of its original deluxe self, now housing laundries, shoe repair shops and other downscale dispensaries. The Galerie Colbert, newly gentrified, contains an upscale brasserie along with fancy shops for books, antiques and fashions. Both passages are authentic and artificial, but the Colbert has lost its sense of the uncanny, which for fans of Benjamin (and Atget) may be one of the more precious commodities Paris has to offer.
If the media reflect us accurately, Americans are more comfortable with either/or than with both/and. Though the idea that opposites go together is not specifically French, Paris probably offers the most solid training in the art of living with contradiction. The Louvre show, ''La Peinture comme Crime,'' probably could not be exhibited in the United States without being heavily sanitized. The Holocaust images would have to come out. The sex images would have to come out. The idea that subjective perception is not easily separated from objective reality would disappear without a trace. And yet we need this awareness more than ever.
The show, subtitled ''Modernity's Forbidden Side,'' was based on a premise as old as the Enlightenment itself: modernity, seen as an empire of reason, is accompanied by its shadow, a realm of political and aesthetic nightmares, from the fantastical visions of Henry Fuseli and Goya to the mass-produced infernos of Hitler and Stalin. Such political references may arouse the anger of those who justifiably oppose the exploitation of the Holocaust to score cultural points. Images of the death camps were not sensationalized, however. ''La Peinture comme Crime'' challenged the moral neutrality of art, or at least the formalist interpretation of it long taken as integral to modernism itself. Its goal was not to aestheticize history but to historicize art, and thereby subject its interpretation to moral scrutiny.
The exhibition also presented work by William Blake, George Romney, Johan Tobias Sergel and Antonio Canova. The show's curators, Sandrine Billot and Philippe Maffre, emphasized sketches and studies over completed works, to make the point that polished images tend to sanitize their origins in instinct. Perversely, several paintings by Jackson Pollock were presented under glass, which made them look like glossy photographs. History can drain the life away from even a maestro of spontaneity, the installation implied.

SOURCE: "Feminism and Theater in The Taming of the Shrew," in Shakespeare in Theory: The Postmodern Academy and the Early Modern Theater, The University of Michigan Press, 1997, pp. 51-62.
In the excerpt below, Bretzius surveys the reactions of postwar feminist critics to The Taming of the Shrew.
Whether Kate's final lord-of-creation moral in The Taming of the Shrew is tongue-in-cheek (the so-called revisionist school) or foot-in-mouth (the corresponding antirevisionist school) depends in part on the half-framed, and even half-tamed, nature of her story. For the play that Christopher Sly watches from the vantage of his unfinished Induction, The Taming of the Shrew, already represents a version, a gigantic "suppose," of the parallel play he acts both out and in, from Petruchio's triumphant "Come, Kate, we'll to bed" (5.2.184) and Sly's benighted "Madam, undress...

Cito Gaston was beaming after the game, and had nothing but glowing things to say about his young starter, Ricky Romero. "What a performance he had out there today; he pitched a great game," Gaston told the Canadian Press. "It was just what we needed. He shut that team down over there, and that's something because they have a really good-hitting ball club."
Romero gave the Toronto fans something to be happy about on Canada Day, tossing eight shutout innings against the Rays, striking out seven and allowing only four hits. The win ended a seven-game winning streak by the Rays, and stopped a four-game losing streak by Toronto (aka "all the other games the team has played since the last time Romero pitched").
Romero is elevating himself into must-own territory for fantasy leagues, with his ERA now down to 2.85 and his strike out per nine innings rate at 7.56 and rising. Of course, it helps to get some run support, and the Blue Jays bats rose to the occasion, with Rod Barajas, Adam Lind and Scott Rolen all homering in the 5-0 victory. Quietly, Rolen has been working on a hitting streak that now stands at 19 games.
We're not sure why the baseball powers don't schedule the Blue Jays to play at home every year on Canada Day, but since they are the only team in the league from that country, we think they should. The Blue Jays are 4-1 at home on July 1 since a 1997 loss to the Montreal Expos.
And speaking of the Expos ... it's official. They're not in Canada anymore.
Wednesday marked the first Canada Day since the Montreal franchise moved to Washington in 2005 that the Nationals didn't win, in spite of a solid outing from young Jordan Zimmermann, who held the Marlins to only two runs over six innings with six strikeouts. Washington couldn't score more than one run off Florida's Josh Johnson, who allowed five hits and four walks in only 3 1/3 innings. In fact, it was Zimmermann himself who drove in the only run Johnson allowed. Ryan Zimmerman went 0-for-5 on the day.
Previous editions: July 1: Pirates make trades | June 30: Floyd continues rebound
• Canadian Jason Bay did not have a good Wednesday. He struck out not once, not twice but five times against the Orioles, and played no part in the Red Sox comeback in which they scored four times in the ninth to tie the game before winning it in the 11th inning. Jonathan Papelbon got his 20th save of the season, and moved past Bob Stanley into first place on the all-time Red Sox saves list.
• Canadian Joey Votto had a much better day, going 2-for-4 and driving in the only run of the game in Cincinnati's 1-0 victory over the Diamondbacks. His batting average is now up to .358, and it's clear he's recovered nicely from his anxiety issues. Johnny Cueto pitched six innings of one-hit baseball to improve to 8-4 on the year, but he also walked four Arizona hitters. Jon Garland was once again the hard-luck loser, and is now 0-6 with two no-decisions since May 19.
• Canadian Justin Morneau ended his Canada Day early, as the Twins first baseman left the game in the seventh inning with a groin injury. Shortstop Nick Punto also left the game with a back injury, and catcher Mike Redmond had to leave after getting hit in the forearm with a foul tip. Somehow, the Twins still beat the Royals, 5-1. Manager Ron Gardenhire told the team's official Web site none of the injuries were of great concern, "[We have] a day off tomorrow and then we have all the way until Friday night before we play again. Redmond looks really, really sore. But it sounds like [Morneau and Punto] will both be fine."
• Jair Jurrjens was brilliant against the Phillies, taking a no-hitter into the seventh before Paul Bako singled to right with two outs. His performance was in stark contrast to his mound opponent, Cole Hamels, who once again got crushed, allowing seven runs on nine hits over four innings before Charlie Manuel mercifully pulled the plug. Hamels' ERA is now 4.98 on the season.
• Maybe Texas manager Ron Washington should just stop talking. In Frank Francisco's first outing since Washington declared him to be once again the team's "official closer," he blew his second save of the season on Wednesday, blowing a three-run lead in the ninth against the Angels. However, the saving grace for Francisco's fantasy owners is that he at least picked up the victory, as the Rangers scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to win the game, 9-7. (See "Hitter of the Night" sidebar for more details.)
• Clayton Kershaw and three relievers combined on a three-hit, 1-0 shutout against the Rockies. Kershaw walked five, which is why he lasted five innings and was not involved in the decision. Colorado's Jason Hammel went all eight innings for the visiting Rockies in defeat, allowing only five hits. Unfortunately, Rafael Furcal's RBI single in the eighth, scoring Canada's own Russell Martin, was enough for the Dodgers to grab the brass ring.
• Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr. and ... Jack Cust? All three players homered Wednesday, which surprisingly keeps Cust in the lead amongst the trio with 14 round-trippers on the season. A-Rod hit his 13th of the year off Jarrod Washburn in New York's 4-2 win over Seattle. Griffey added his 10th of the season in that same game, and made new Yankee Stadium the 44th park in which he has homered during his career. Meanwhile, Cust's two-run shot off of Detroit's Justin Verlander was enough to saddle the Tigers pitcher with his fourth loss of the season.
• Mark DeRosa's injury is not as serious as first feared. According to the Cardinals' official Web site, DeRosa has only a strained tendon in his hand, and will be required to miss only a few games. Joe Thurston went 0-for-4 in DeRosa's place at third base on Wednesday. Adam Wainwright allowed only one run in nine innings and struck out a career-high 12 batters, but the Cardinals' weakened lineup failed to do much better against Matt Cain. The game went into the 10th before Colby Rasmus ended it with a home run off reliever Bobby Howry.
• Randy Wells has won three straight starts, and is now 3-3 with a 2.43 ERA after seven strong innings of one-run, six hit ball against the Pirates. While he's not yet an automatic fantasy start, he's definitely a pitcher to keep an eye on. Derrek Lee helped out Wells by hitting a two-run shot in the first inning off Virgil Vasquez to givethe Cubs an early lead. Sam Fuld was 2-for-4 leading off and playing left field in his 2009 debut for the Cubs, with Alfonso Soriano getting the night off.

Hank Blalock, Rangers
Blalock went 3-for-5 with three runs scored, but it was his two home runs that saved the day for Texas. His second blast of the night came with two out in the bottom of the ninth, and completely upstaged the heroic effort of the Angels' Juan Rivera, who hit a three-run shot in the top of the inning, threatening to send the game to extra frames.
Yovani Gallardo, Brewers
On a day with three 1-0 games, there were plenty of pitching performances worth mentioning here, but we went with Gallardo. Yo-Ga allowed only five hits in seven innings, striking out a career-high 12 Mets,including David Wright three times. It's the second time this season Gallardo has lost to New York 1-0.
With a two-run double against Washington, Hanley Ramirez extended his RBI streak to 10 games. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that's the longest streak by a NL shortstop since the stat became official in 1920. It's also the longest streak in the major leagues since Garret Anderson went 12 straight games with an RBI in 2007.
• The Rockies reinstated catcher Yorvit Torrealba to the active roster. Torrealba missed 27 games to be with his family in Venezuela after a kidnapping. He will back up Chris Iannetta, with Paul Phillips being designated for assignment. Phillips, who was hitting .310 on the year, will go to Triple-A Colorado Springs if he is not claimed off waivers by another team.
• The Reds called up infielder Drew Sutton from Triple-A Louisville, but don't expect the speedy switch-hitter to have any immediate impact. After all, manager Dusty Baker told the Cincinnati Enquirer he has never seen Sutton play and has no clue how best to use him. The Reds acquired Sutton in early April, after spring training, as part of the deal for Jeff Keppinger.
• The Los Angeles Times reports that the Dodgers have designated Mitch Jones for assignment, a move that paves the way for the return of Manny Ramirez to the team. Manny's suspension is now over, but the Dodgers do not play again until Friday.
• The Yankees needed to make a roster move with the acquisition of Eric Hinske, and Ramiro Pena drew the short straw. The utility infielder was hitting .267 for the Bronx Bombers so far this year. He will be asked to start a few games in the outfield in the minors to get used to the position. Pena would likely be the first player called on in the event of an injury -- anywhere on the field.
• In another move made to make room for a player acquired from Pittsburgh, the Washington Nationals sent Elijah Dukes to Triple-A Syracuse. One of the outfielders had to go with Nyjer Morgan coming to town, and Dukes still had options left, making the decision easy for the team.
Tristan H. Cockcroft: Fox. He can rake, and I'd say enough so that the Cubs need to find creative ways to get him into the lineup fairly regularly. But I always want talent over opportunity. Talent creates its own opportunities, most of the time.
-- Full chat transcript
Eric Karabell: Hanson. I don't think Santana should be given up on, but as soon as Hanson really rids himself of the walks, you're going to see a really good pitcher. He's already pretty good!

Thursday's fantasy chat schedule:
AJ Mass, 11 a.m. ET
Jason Grey, 3 p.m. ET
• Josh Hamilton is clearly taking his rehab seriously. The Rangers outfielder led off for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, serving as the team's designated hitter. The game was a marathon affair, lasting 14 innings, and Hamilton stayed in the whole night, going 1-for-7 with a single. He is expected to play again on Thursday, this time, manning center field.
• Andy Marte continues to wield a hot bat for Triple-A Toledo. He went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a home run to extend his hitting streak to nine games, batting .500 over that stretch. With DeRosa gone, couldn't the Indians use this guy in the big leagues?
• San Diego's Kevin Correia is on fire as of late, with a 2.49 ERA in his past three starts, but with Adrian Gonzalez's status for Thursday in doubt, we're going to have to lean in the direction of Houston's Wandy Rodriguez for this matchup.
• Ryan Dempster likes to face the Brewers. He's 9-3 with a 2.73 ERA against them, but don't dismiss Milwaukee's Seth McClung. He has a career ERA of 1.23 at Wrigley Field.
• It's true that Brian McCann of the Braves is in the midst of a severe slump, but don't forget the fact he already has three home runs and nine RBIs against the Phillies this season.
• For more on Thursday's games, check Daily Notes.

Bad engine design.
by jeepshepard from Philadelphia, PA | October 11, 2011
A co-worker was buying a new car after the headgasket went bad on his 1995 Dodge Spirit. He was going to trade it in for $250. I bought it instead for the $250. The orginal headgasket went bad at 120,000. The vehicle had a 2.5L (4 cylinder) with an auto transmission. I had the headgasket replaced for $500. The second headgasket went bad at 131,000 miles (only 11,000 since the repair). If you do some research, you'll find that these vehicles have aluminium heads and headgaskets on iron engines. The aluminium can't with stand the tempertures as an iron head can. I wasn't going to replace a third headgasket or possibly a cracked head. The 2.5L engine has problems with bad headgaskets and cracked heads.

Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
I didn't have the luxury of watching the Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night. It wasn't available where I live.
But it wasn't too hard getting a grasp of what was going on in Charlotte. Watching the play-by-play, looking at the stats and reading some of the in-game reporting, it was easy to see that Carolina's defense didn't play well.
The surprising thing was it had nothing to do with Carolina's gaping hole at defensive tackle (which will be addressed through a trade or a waiver pickup before too long). The Ravens did the Panthers a favor by not really pounding the ball over the middle.
They moved it through the air. Baltimore's Joe Flacco threw for 199 yards in the first half. It has to be noted that Carolina was playing without injured linebackers Jon Beason and Thomas Davis and free safety Charles Godfrey.
Beason and Davis are two of Carolina's best defensive players and there's no doubt their absence was felt. But did the absence of Godfrey, a second-year pro, really drag the secondary down that much? I'm not so sure. Godfrey's a pretty average player at this point in his career.
What's much more of a worry is that the rest of Carolina's secondary struggled. Chris Gamble, who's supposed to be a No. 1 corner, didn't play like one. The other members of the secondary aren't nearly as talented in coverage as Gamble.
Sure, it's just a preseason game and, if Davis and Beason are healthy for the start of the preseason, that's going to be a big help. But the Panthers already had a glaring problem in the middle of their defensive line.
Now, they might have another one with the secondary.

A masterful submission.
This collection of loops you made in the past was nicely edited together as a Nine Inch Nails music video; the amazing effects present here probably top any submission I've seen on this site. The artwork is very nice too, and visually, I appreciate the effort you take into zooming in 800% and manually smoothing out all of the lines.
The selection of loops here blend together to make an odd, absurd visual experience. The effects here are absolutely phenomenal, with each shot masterfully added in and created.
Sir, I applaud you for sharing such a great, mesmerizing experience with us.
Simply spectacular.
I could easily write a long, detailed review discussing all the different aspects of this video and how they seamlessly come together to create a mesmerizing and memorable experience that has lingered in my head ever since my first viewing and continues to bring me enormous satisfaction to this day. But that wouldn't do your creation justice.
There is but a single way in which one can truly appreciate "Stinky Boot FUCKERS," and that is to sit back and let it flow into one's eyes and ears. I strongly encourage anyone reading this review to do just that, in the hope that others will share my sentiments regarding this magnificent Flash and in turn convince even more people to give it a much-deserved watch.
Thank you for taking the time to create and share your work with the public, and congratulations on making such a phenomenal impact with it.
I really enjoy this. I always keep coming back to watch it. It gives me this awesome vengeance hipe sensation.
P.S. could some one give me the name to this song?!
at least the drawings are nice..
............... :)
Excellent regardless
Whether or not this video has some sort of deeper meaning that my mind failed to interpret because of my terrible Mississippi education, or it is pure randomness, I must agree with the majority that are saying that this video is excellent.

Salazar defends Americas great outdoors: "Wilderness is not a bad thing"
CAP's Tom Kenworthy, in a WonkRoom repost.
Speaking today at the Center for American Progress, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the Obama administration will not shy away from pushing for expansions of the nation's network of protected lands, including the designation of new national monuments. He also issued a strong defense of his department's new policy giving interim protections to wilderness-quality federal lands just a few days after the House voted to block the use of funds to implement the policy this year.
In unveiling the America's Great Outdoors initiative last week, President Obama laid the foundation for what could become a solid administration legacy on land conservation in the 21st century. Building on the broad national support for community-based efforts to protect America's rich land and waterway resources, the initiative seeks to re-invigorate our connections to the outdoors, particularly among the young and urban residents, to facilitate local and state conservation programs, to look at land conservation in a broader, landscape-level context, and to begin managing federal lands to build resilience to climate change.
Interviewed by historian Doug Brinkley, Salazar said the initiative will rely heavily on what he called an extensive and broad-based "dialogue with the American people" about conservation priorities. He defended the administration's new "wildlands" policy that seeks to provide interim protections for pristine federal lands as was done for several decades before the Bush administration relinquished that authority in a legal settlement with the state of Utah:
We need to manage the public estate for all purposes, including wilderness characteristics. . . . I think there are people who've made more of this issue than they should have, including people who are doing it for whatever political agenda they want to serve. . . . Wilderness is not a bad thing.
Watch it:
The launch of the America's Great Outdoors initiative comes against a backdrop of Republican hostility on Capitol Hill to sensible land conservation efforts by the Obama administration. The House of Representatives has adopted a budget bill that would prevent the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management from implementing its wildlands policy, and only narrowly turned back a GOP-led effort to strip the president of his authority to designate national monuments, a power used by most presidents for more than a century.
Supporters of those extreme measures are so beholden to special interests that want to open treasured federal lands to more oil and gas drilling and other commercial development that they fail to understand how strongly the public supports stronger land conservation efforts.
Even in the midst of the great recession, voters across the country remain strongly committed to funding land conservation and acquisition measures. In 2010, according to the Trust for Public Land, 41 out of 49 state and local initiatives to fund land conservation were approved by voters, and those measures will provide nearly $2.2 billion for those purposes. Since 1988, voters across the country in local and state elections have dedicated more than $56 billion to conserving open space and other land conservation projects, approving bonding and pay as you go ballot questions more than 75 percent of the time.
And a new Colorado College poll conducted in five Rocky Mountain states finds that westerners are strongly committed to conservation and believe that environmental protections and a strong economy go hand-in-hand. The survey found that for 87 percent of western voters "having clean water, clean air, natural areas, and wildlife" is either extremely (47 percent) or very (40 percent) important to quality of life. And two-thirds say that boosting renewable energy production will create jobs in their state.
Westerners understand, Salazar said today, that protected areas like national monuments, are "economic generators" and that there is a direct connection between conserving land and economic development. "We can tone down the rhetoric," he said. "We in the United States have some very special places "" they are not Republican places, they are not Democratic places, they are not independent places, they belong to all of us."
— Tom Kenworthy, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress.

Fascism will come wrapped in a flag and carrying a Bible. ~ Sinclair Lewis 1935
These Republicans are getting scary, it seems that nothing is sacred to them. What's next? Lipstick on a pig?
We love America and we love wilderness.
Wilderness protection is as American as apple pie; Americans have no need for the Republicans' Putin-like land policies.

I think that the Republicans already call that "Saturday Night".
Protected areas should not be open to cattle grazing. It makes a joke of a protected area. Cows will alter the whole ecosystem in a large-scale way by eating herbaceous plants, shrubs, clearing out the understory, destroying riverbanks and water holes.
The southwest has a number of areas set aside to protect fragile riparian ecosystems yet cattle are still allowed to graze there! Stunning, simply stunning in its short-sighted stupidity. It seems like the cattle industry is almost as influential in politics as oil. It seems in every park or national monument we explore there are sign of cattle. Maybe most visitors don't see it because they think that is how a forest is supposed to look, but I ain't from the states so the difference jumps out fast.
Actually saving the wilderness has been a contentious fight since the beginning. Why did we establish the Forest Service? Because big timber was clear cutting its way across America. If it were not for TR and that wonderful National Monument law the Grand Canyon might never have made it to National Park status. The struggle began in the 19th century and continues today.
Joe, this Guardian article should interest you.
Big money has co-opted conservative activists for its agenda, but scratch the surface and it's the religious right that rears up

Shaikh Zayed Road stunt drivers arrested
Dubai: Daredevil drivers who were filmed performing dangerous stunts on Shaikh Zayed Road have been arrested, the Dubai Police deputy chief said on Monday.
A video of the stunts was posted on video-sharing site Youtube and was heavily circulated on Facebook. Shortly after the release of the video, Dubai Police set up a team to find and arrest the errant drivers.
"Shaikh Zayed Road is a vital road in Dubai, and these cars were not only endangering the lives of others but blocking traffic as well," said Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina, Deputy Dubai Police Chief.
"This affects the UAE's image negatively because many people commented that this is an example of how people drive in Dubai, which is not true," Al Mazeina said.
The stunt drivers were reportedly fans of the football club Al Wasl and were celebrating the club's victory by performing stunts on Shaikh Zayed Road, Jumeirah Beach Road and other roads.
"Two cars were seized, while the police are still on the look[out] for two more. One of the owners hid his car in another emirate, while another tried to change the look of his car to escape punishment, but the two of them along with two others have been arrested and referred to public prosecution," Al Mazeina said.
The drivers are all UAE nationals in their 20s.
"Skilled drivers should go to designated race tracks on and off-road. They should not use the city's streets to show their skills and put the lives of others at risk, even for a few seconds," Al Mazeinah said.
"An accident can happen in a fraction of a second, so this behaviour will not be tolerated even for a short time," he added. He urged residents to immediately report such incidents to police.
Under the law, endangering the lives, health, security or freedom of others is punishable by a jail sentence.
Commenting on why these drivers were not immediately apprehended by police patrols, Al Mazeina said that police were busy accompanying the victory march of Al Wasl fans, which covered two kilometres.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
