I don't know about this one... ScrollViewer is a class in .NET 4, while ScrollView is an Android class. While the classes might have similar functionality and names, they serve two different platforms, and provided the tags are used appropriately, the meaning can be made distinct.
Note that there is also uiscrollview, which is relevant to iOS, and there are probably several other classes with similar names on other platforms.

every aspect like what. can you give some examples of what you are looking for in the swing mechanics?
When we video tape at the start of the lesson we will watch for where the hands start, and track the path of the hands as they swing ( if they cast, loop down, raise above to high, etc...) And we see if they have bat lag ( bat dragging to far behind their swing )We look for the power L at contact, We see if they are going to full extension.
(Bat pointing at pitcher) We look for palm up, palm down during the swing.
We look for premature wrist roll before or right after contact.
These are things that are hard to see at full speed.
So the video is for the Student and the parent to recognize the flaws in the swing so we can correct them.
It has been the most helpful part of my teaching the Students, helping them understand what we are trying to tell them.

"Vivid storytelling. ... Michael Savage is one of the most influential conservative voices in America." (BRETT M. DECKER, Washington Times)
"Savage recalls his childhood growing up in the Bronx. ... He's got the knack for evocative detail, and this series of short vignettes features some indelible images, such as the immigrant father who, insisting that nothing be wasted, forced his son to wear dead men's trousers." (Washington Post)
From the Back Cover
In time for the holidays, a celebration of family, home, and tradition by the #1 New York Times bestselling author and superstar media personality
"Train Tracks contains stories of ordinary American men and women, each of whom is extraordinary."
The holidays. It's the time when families gather and reflect on the past year, to remember losses, to toast triumphs, to look forward to new beginnings. In the spirit of the season, beloved author and radio host Michael Savage's Train Tracks reminds us how every member of our family—in fact, each individual we encounter through time—contributes essential gifts to our life story.
In the title chapter, set in the early 1950s, Savage remembers the excitement and mystery of riding the train from New York's old Penn Station to rural Pennsylvania at the start of the holiday break. Drawn from Savage's own journey from poor immigrant's son to media stardom, these deeply personal true tales show us that even in today's homogenizing times, we are all charting a unique destiny as we journey through life.
Train Tracks is an instant holiday classic by an American original—a very special gift to be read and shared as we gather together.

|Tuesday's Morning Mashup: Nationals star Bryce Harper says he's OK with suspended closer Jonathan Papelbon returning next year

— Jonathan Papelbon is done for the season following his dugout attack on teammate Bryce Harper, but Harper said he'd be OK with the outspoken closer returning next season.
"If Paps can help us win a World Series next year, that's what I need. That's what this whole clubhouse needs," Harper said. "We can't be fighting or anything like that."
Papelbon was suspended three games by the league for throwing at Orioles star Manny Machado, and the team gave him a four-game punishment for Sunday's fight. He initially appealed the league ban but dropped it Monday, meaning he'll miss all of his team's remaining games.
Harper sat out Monday's game, which the team said was discipline for the fight, although he had said Sunday it was a scheduled day off.
Harper also said he's not sure what he could have done to avoid the scrap. Papelbon was criticizing Harper for not running out a fly ball when the exchange became heated and Papelbon grabbed Harper by the throat and pushed him backward.
"If you're in a bar or if you're in the dugout or if you're anywhere, if someone grabs your neck, your first reaction is to do what I did, I guess," Harper said.
— There was a scary moment in Monday night's Cardinals-Pirates game in Pittsburgh, as St. Louis left fielder Stephen Piscotty's head collided with the knee of center fielder Peter Bourjos while Bourjos made a catch of a fly ball.
Piscotty was knocked unconscious by the blow, and he was bleeding from the mouth. He eventually moved his arms while receiving medical attention. He was taken away on a cart and examined at Allegheny General Hospital, where he remained overnight. Manager Mike Matheny said the initial test results "were as good as we can get."

— Jonathan Papelbon is accepting blame for a dugout fight with Nationals teammate Bryce Harper during Sunday's 12-5 loss to the Phillies in Washington.
In the top of the eighth inning, Harper popped up to left field and walked out of the batter's box toward first base. When he returned to the dugout, Papelbon appeared to chastise him for not running out the play. As the confrontation became more heated, Papelbon grabbed Harper by the throat and pushed him backward into the dugout bench as teammates stepped in to break it up.
"I'm in the wrong there. I've got to leave that up to our manager," Papelbon said. "There's a lot of competition, it's a long season, it's a grind. I think we're going to handle that in-house and stuff like that. I've talked to Bryce and told him how we feel. We're on the same page now, which is good. [We'll] squash this and head to tomorrow's game.
"I grew up with brothers, he grew up with brothers, I view him as a brother of mine. Sometimes in this game there's a lot of testosterone, there's a lot of intensity that spills over. I think that happened today. For me, I can't allow that to happen in the middle of a game. You can handle that after the games or allow the manager to handle that. So in that light of it, I'm wrong."
Harper, who did not play the ninth inning, was dismissive of questions about the incident.
"I mean, he apologized, so, whatever," Harper said. "I really don't care."
Papelbon, who was acquired from Philadelphia in late July, entered Sunday's game in the eighth with the score tied. He went back out for the ninth and promptly allowed five runs to take the loss.
The Nationals, expected to challenge for the National League pennant, were eliminated from playoff contention Saturday.
— The Jets were off to a 2-0 start, but Sunday was not a good day at the Meadowlands. Not only did New York turn over the ball four times in a 24-17 loss to the previously winless Eagles, the son of one of the Jets coaches found himself in hot water after a couple of antagonistic tweets directed at injured quarterback Geno Smith and cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
|Tuesday's Morning Mashup: Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon rips Phillies, then blows save against them

— Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon's return to Philadelphia on Monday was an eventful one. Before the game, the outspoken reliever shared his frustrations about his former team. Then he proceeded to suffer his first blown save of the season, allowing a game-tying home run in the 10th inning (Washington went on to win in 11 innings).
Papelbon, who left the Red Sox as a free agent to sign a four-year, $50 million deal with the Phillies in 2011, said he is not the one to blame for Philadelphia's struggles the past couple of seasons, and he doesn't care if anyone was offended by his desire to be traded.
"If I say something, I mean it," Papelbon said. "I'm not going to take anything back that I've ever said or did because I believe that it's right. I don't know if I got a bad rap here or whatever, but I can promise you I was far [from] the bad guy on this team. I was one of the few that wanted to actually win and I was one of the few that competed and posted up every day."
Papelbon criticized the front office for giving up on the present in favor of a rebuilding plan, noting that president Pat Gillick said last offseason that the team was two years away from competing at the earliest.
"I think the blame goes all the way from the front office all the way down to the bat boy," he said. "When you don't have an organization that wants to win it's pretty evident when they go out and publicly say, we're not going to win."
Although he owns the Phillies' career saves record with 123 (with a 2.31 ERA), Papelbon said he doesn't care if he's not welcomed back in Philadelphia going forward.
"I don't like the barbecues at the alumni weekend anyway," he said. "It doesn't really hurt my feelings. The way I look back on it is I came here as a free agent and I looked to produce day in and day out, and I felt like I did that. We had a lot of injuries and a lot of guys fall by the wayside, but I was still be able to be there and grinding every day and posting up so that's the way I look at it. It just so happened to be an unfortunate situation where you just lost one game after another."
— The hits keep on coming at Rutgers, as yet another member of the school's football team is facing legal trouble.
On Monday, one day after Rutgers announced that senior captain Leonte Carroo was suspended indefinitely, it was revealed that he had been arrested for an domestic violence incident Saturday outside the team's training and administrative building. Carrie is the seventh member of the team to be arrested this month. The other six were kicked off the team.
|Wednesday's Morning Mashup: Nationals acquire Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, much to dismay of current closer Drew Storen
|07.29.15 at 7:57 am ET
Welcome to Wednesday's Morning Mashup. For the latest news, start at our WEEI.com home page or click here for the top stories from our news wire.
MLB: White Sox at Red Sox, 7:10 p.m. (NESN; WEEI-FM)
MLB: Rockies at Cubs, 2:20 p.m. (MLB Network)
MLB: Angels at Astros, 8 p.m. (ESPN)
MLS: All-Star Game, 7 p.m. (FS1)
— Jonathan Papelbon's trade to the Nationals would appear to be a boost to Washington, but not everyone is thrilled with the team landing a new closer.
Drew Storen, who has 29 saves in 31 chances and a 1.73 ERA, was informed Tuesday that he'll be replaced by the former Phillies closer, demoted to fill-in closing and set-up responsibilities.
"All I'm going to say is obviously I'm aware of the move," Storen told reporters. "Talked to [general manager] Mike [Rizzo] about it, talked to my agent. We've had some ongoing discussions. Until those have progressed, I'm just going to leave it at that."
As part of the trade, the Nationals agreed to pick up Papelbon's option for 2016 (albeit reportedly for $11 million, less than the original $13 million). The Phillies, who received pitching prospect Nick Pivetta, are said to be paying the remainder of Papelbon's 2015 salary ($4.5 million).
While Storen has been solid, the rest of Washington's relievers have not been as impressive. The team is 42-7 when leading after six innings (46-0 when leading entering the ninth). The bullpen combined has a 3.39 ERA, 12th in the majors. Adding Papelbon and altering Storen's role should, on paper, make the Nationals much stronger overall.
Rizzo acknowledged that the news "was difficult to take" for Storen, but the 27-year-old "took it like a pro, and he's going to be a professional in the clubhouse and on the mound."
As for the 34-year-old Papelbon, a six-time All-Star who starred for the Red Sox before signing as a free agent with Philadelphia, he carries a 1.59 ERA and saved all 17 of his chances for the last-place Phillies this season.
"This guy wants to win," Rizzo said. "First and foremost, he wants to win. … He excels in pressure situations, and that's his personality. Does it grate on the opposition at times? Yes, it does. But he comes with high credentials, high praise from his teammates and guys who've been around him."
— Mets management was in disbelief Tuesday after relief pitcher Jenrry Mejia — just weeks back from an 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs — was suspended 162 games for another violation.
Mejia first was suspended April 11 after testing positive for Stanozolol, and at the time insisted that he had "no idea how a banned substance ended up in my system."
According to MLB, Mejia again tested positive for Stanozolol as well as Boldenone, costing him a season's worth of games.
"I was totally shocked," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said. "Incredulous — whatever the right term is — that this could happen so swiftly on the heels of a past suspension. Couldn't understand it."
|Report: Cubs, Blue Jays have spoken to Phillies about trade for Jonathan Papelbon
|06.11.15 at 9:25 am ET
Closer Jonathan Papelbon has drawn interest from the Cubs and Blue Jays, according to Ken Rosenthal, and the Phillies seem likely to trade him.
Since Papelbon is making more than $8 million for the remainder of the year and has a $13 million option for next season that will vest if he finishes 26 more games than the 22 he's already completed, Rosenthal noted both the Jays and Cubs would like to get away with paying as little as possible for the closer financially as well as prospects, but talks are at an "impasse."
After the Phillies spoke with Toronto late last week, they began more intently scouting the Blue Jays' minor league affiliates, and "the sense among the industry," according to Rosenthal, is that Philadelphia would prefer the Jays swap over one with Chicago.
Papelbon, who has a no-trade clause and can refuse a deal if he desires, expressed his willingness during spring training to try a a trade to Toronto.
"Yes, Toronto interests me — if it interests [Phillies general manager] Ruben [Amaro Jr.]," Papelbon told CSN Philadelphia. "I know some of the guys on their coaching staff. They're a good team. If Ruben can do a deal with them, I'd be interested."
But, the Cubs could still have a chance at reuniting Papelbon with Theo Epstein, than man who drafted him with the Red Sox in 2003. The Cubs picked up free agent righty Rafael Soriano in part because they're trying to build up as many late-inning options as they can.
"While Epstein and Hoyer know that Papelbon occasionally is brash and outspoken, they also know that players respect his work habits and competitive spirit — and that he likely would not be a distraction in manager Joe Maddon's clubhouse," Rosenthal wrote.
Papelbon is an unblemished 12-for-12 in save situations this year, posting a 1.13 ERA with 29 strikeouts, six walks and one home run over 24 innings. He was 39-for-43 last season with a 2.04 ERA, striking out 64, walking 15 and surrendering just two home runs in 66 1/3 frames.

— A difficult month for the NFL got a little more challenging Wednesday when Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer became the latest player to be arrested on charges related to domestic violence.
Dwyer was charged with aggravated assault for his role in two altercations at his home in July involving a 27-year-old woman and their 18th-month-old child. Police said the 25-year-old Dwyer denied committing any assault, although he admitted other facts about the confrontations.
"Given the serious nature of these allegations we have taken the immediate step to deactivate Jonathan from all team activities," the team said in a statement.
Following two incidents days before training camp opened, the woman moved out of state with the child. She contacted police last week with new information, including text messages that indicated Dwyer "was going to harm himself because of what had been going on."
Dwyer was freed on $25,000 cash bond early Thursday, wearing an electronic monitoring device. He was ordered to stay in the state and avoid contact with the alleged victims. He also cannot have involvement with weapons, drugs and alcohol.
Dwyer, who signed a one-year, $795,000 contract with the Cardinals as a free agent on March 12, has 16 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown in two games this season.
Meanwhile, attorney Gloria Allred claimed in a press conference Wednesday that Bears receiver Brandon Marshall assaulted his former girlfriend in 2007, and commissioner Roger Goodell failed to investigate the situation after promising to do so.
Marshall was arrested after an incident seven years ago, but he claims he never hit his ex-girlfriend, despite her repeated accusations of domestic violence.
— Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston acknowledged his mistake after being suspended for the first half of this Saturday's game against Clemson for shouting an inappropriate comment on campus.
"I have to tone it down," he said during his weekly press conference before Wednesday's practice.

— Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon was suspended seven games for his behavior Sunday, when he grabbed his crotch as he walked off the field, apparently in response to booing home fans who were upset that he blew a three-run ninth-inning lead.
Papelbon was ejected from the game and proceeded to argue with umpire Joe West, insisting that he was only adjusting his cup and was not responding to the crowd. He maintained his innocence Monday, while apologizing to those who might have misunderstood his actions.
"While I completely understand how the fans would perceive my gesture while being booed, it was not my intent whatsoever to insult the fans of Philadelphia," the former Red Sox star said in a statement. "If it was perceived in that manner, I sincerely apologize."
The team, however, appeared to agree with MLB, while implying it had no authority to punish the pitcher itself.
"The Phillies fully support the decision of the Commissioner's Office, which has exclusive jurisdiction for on-field player behavior," the team said in a statement. "By Major League Baseball rules, the Phillies have no authority to make official judgments about activity which occurs on the field or to determine the appropriate penalty for misconduct. We apologize to our fans for the actions of our player yesterday."
MASHUP POLL: Do you believe Jonathan Papelbon that he was not responding to booing fans in Philadelphia when he grabbed his crotch?
- No, he's clearly not telling the truth and deserves his suspension (84%, 383 Votes)
- Yes, Papelbon deserves the benefit of the doubt (16%, 73 Votes)
Total Voters: 456
The outspoken Papelbon, who had overcome some early season struggles, had converted 14 consecutive save opportunities since July 22 before blowing Sunday's game and taking the loss.
— Derek Jeter is going out not with a bang but with a whimper in New York, and it's gotten so bad that the Yankees benched their captain for Monday's game.
Jeter entered the night without a hit in his last eight games (0-for-24), reaching base just once during that span, via a walk. He is hitting .116 in September (5-for-43) after hitting .207 in August. His season batting average has dipped 10 points to .250, and he has just three home runs.
"He's just scuffling; he had somewhat of a tough August, and September has been even tougher," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "There are a few guys that are going through that. It's not the time of year that you want it to happen. We'll give him a day off today, see if we can get him out of it and get him going."

— The Pacers are down 2-1 to the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals heading into Monday night's Game 4, but Indiana guard Lance Stephenson is confident that he's in LeBron James' head.
Stephenson said Sunday that James does not usually engage in trash talk during the game, as he did in the first half of Saturday's Game 3.
"To me, it's a sign of weakness," Stephenson said. "[People] used to say that to me. I'm going to do something to get you mad. Now he's trying to do it to me. I feel like there's a weakness and I feel like I'm doing something right to get underneath his skin."
Stephenson conveniently ignored the fact that James and the Heat overcame a 15-point first-half deficit to win Game 3 by 12 points, 99-87.
James, who traded barbs after Stephenson drew a charge on him, said he'll only get involved in trash talk if the other player starts it, as Stephenson did in this case.
"I'm not much of a talker, but I can," James said. "I don't ever start it, but I can get involved in it and still keep my head. Winning the game is more important. I understand what the main goal is."
Stephenson, who drew criticism for making a "choke" sign toward James after a missed free throw when the teams met in the 2012 playoffs, is averring 17.3 points and 6.7 assists through three games, as compared to James' 24.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists.
"I'll never back down," Stephenson said. "He's the best player in the league. I will refuse to back down to him."
— Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, whose popularity continues to dip, had a confrontation with veteran Philadelphia radio talk-show host Howard Eskin before Saturday's game.
It's believed that Papelbon was upset with Eskin claiming Papelbon was out late the night before a recent game against the Mets in New York. Papelbon said he was not available to pitch in the Sunday game — which would have been his third consecutive appearance — and Eskin implied the closer's partying the night before might have had something to do with it.
Eskin, never one to shy away from controversy, then engaged in a Twitter back and forth with Papelbon's wife, Ashley, who denied Eskin's claim. Eskin had reported that the Papelbons were out partying with Jacoby Ellsbury's family, but Ashley noted that the Ellsburys were out of town (the Yankees were playing in Milwaukee) and explained that Eskin was "misinformed." Eskin stood by his story.
— In a Friday press conference, Ravens running back Ray Rice admitted he "failed miserably" and apologized for his actions that led to assault charges following an incident with his wife in a hotel elevator in Atlantic City where she appeared to be knocked out. However, it was a comment from his wife that got the most attention.
"I do deeply regret the role I played in the incident that night," Janay Rice said. "But I can say that I am happy that we continue to work through it together. I love Ray, and I know that he will continue to prove himself not only to you all, but to the community, and I know he will gain your respect back in due time."
The Ravens Twitter account was bombarded with criticism after tweeting the first part of Janay's comment, as fans accused the team of insensitivity toward the victim.
Rice's lawyer then appeared on the radio and implied that Rice was "getting repeatedly hit" before hitting back, and that he could have won a court case but decided to accept a pretrial diversionary program for the benefit of all involved (he's still expected to receive a suspension from commissioner Roger Goodell).
"I think it puts this matter behind him not only for his NFL career, but it was the right choice for his family as well," attorney Michael Diamondstein told New Jersey's ESPN Radio 97.3-FM (via The Baltimore Sun).
Diamondstein could not explain why Rice's wife appeared at the press conference, noting: "That press conference is something that was done with Ray and Janay and the Ravens. I wasn't a part of that."

— Steve Kerr, long targeted by the Knicks and new president Phil Jackson, instead decided to become coach of the Warriors on Wednesday, as his agent revealed that he accepted an offer of $25 million over five seasons.
"I told Phil, 'I think I have to pursue this other opportunity,' " Kerr told NBA.com. "He gave me his blessing. He said, 'Go look at it,' and see what was in my heart."
Kerr, who has no coaching experience, won three titles as a Bulls guard when Jackson was coach. He went on to win two more rings as a member of the Spurs toward the end of his 15-year playing career. Kerr subsequently spent three seasons as general manager of the Suns until quitting in 2010 and has since served as an analyst for NBA games on TNT.
Rumors that Jackson wanted Kerr to coach the Knicks began right after Jackson was hired as president in mid-March. The Warriors, meanwhile, were said to favor Stan Van Gundy, but when he accepted the Pistons job Wednesday, that opened the door for Kerr to accept a job in his home state.
Kerr, 48, replaced Mark Jackson, who had on-court success in three seasons but clashed with members of his staff and the front office. The Warriors won 51 games before losing to the Clippers in seven games in the opening round of the playoffs.
The Knicks reportedly will consider soon-to-be-retired Thunder guard Derek Fisher and Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis.
— Jonathan Papelbon saved back-to-back games against the Mets on Friday and Saturday, but his decision to make himself unavailable for Sunday's series finale did not sit well with manager Ryne Sandberg. Especially after the Phillies blew a ninth-inning lead in a 5-4 loss.
"We need a closer that can go three games in a row and close three games," Sandberg said. "No question about that."
Papelbon said he was bothered by back soreness, swing Toronto's Rogers Centre turf might have contributed to the problem. He declared himself ready to go on Tuesday and insisted, "I play through a lot of soreness."
"I wasn't comfortable with throwing," Papelbon said. "I felt like it could create more injury. Instead of missing 30 or 40 or 50 games, I decided it would be best for my team and my career to maybe sit one out."
Sandberg said he'd like to be able to count on the game's highest-paid reliever to go three days in a row in the future.
"I sure hope so," Sandberg said. "That's his job."
— The NCAA decided to allow Boise State to provide "immediate assistance" to a football recruit who is homeless after an Idaho TV station aired a documentary about his situation.
Antoine Turner, who said he has at times slept at a motel, in his girlfriend's car and on park benches, will graduate from Fullerton College (a junior college) before moving to Boise for the start of classes on June 9. Per NCAA rules, players cannot receive any assistance until arriving on campus and attending school. However, the NCAA realized the seriousness of the situation and allowed Boise State to help Turner right away.
Turner had a rough childhood in New Orleans, losing his mother when he was 4, having a strained relationship with his father, surviving Hurricane Katrina and breaking free from gang connections. He said he ran drugs for gangs but when he played football as a senior gang members "gave me a pass."
After Boise State's request last night, the school may provide immediate assistance to football student-athlete Antoine Turner.

— The Phillies are trying to turn things around after a disappointing 2013, but they've gotten the 2014 season off to a rocky start. Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers was tough to take, as closer Jonathan Papelbon squandered a two-run lead in the ninth inning and walked home the winning run.
Papelbon, the former Red Sox reliever who is struggling to live up to the four-year, $50 million free agent contract he signed with Philadelphia before the 2012 season, retired only one of seven batters in the frame. After allowing a leadoff single to Adrian Beltre (who had the game-winning RBI in the ninth inning the night before) and a double to Mitch Moreland sandwiched around a strikeout of Alex Rios, Papelbon induced a slow roller to third from pinch-hitter Jim Adducci that turned into an RBI infield single. Leonys Martin then singled in the tying run. After a four-pitch walk to Donnie Murphy, Papelbon walked Shin-Soo Choo on a 3-2 pitch that was not close.
"The whole inning was kind of just one of those innings," Papelbon said. "You get a cue ball down the third base line. Then you get a double-play ball, which you think is the game-ending double play. It's not. My whole focus was get a ground ball, get a double play and get us out of the inning."
Papelbon questioned his team's defensive approach on Martin's single, as the infield was partially moved in before Martin drove the ball past third baseman Chase Utley.
"Obviously I don't know whether that's called for the bench or called from the middle infielders, but less than two outs I'm thinking ground ball and I'm thinking let's get this double play and go home," Papelbon said. "Obviously I'm not going to second-guess my teammates or my coach."
Papelbon's fastball averaged 91.6 mph, down from his average of 93.8 in 2012, and he appeared to struggle with control.
"He was just up in the zone," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He featured a lot of fastballs. They just happened to be up. Even an 0-2 fastball shoulder-high was a hittable pitch."
The Phillies, won the opener 14-10, have not won a road series since Sandberg took over as manager last August.
— Former Red Sox pitcher Frank Viola, now a Triple-A pitching coach for the Mets, was resting comfortably in the hospital after successful heart surgery Wednesday, the Mets announced.
Viola, who pitched for the Twins, Mets, Red Sox, Reds and Blue Jays in his 15-year MLB career that was highlighted by a Cy Young season in 1988 with Minnesota, had his heart issue detected when he took a physical at spring training in preparation for his fourth season as a coach.
The 53-year-old made it clear to the team that he wants to return to the field this season.
"He certainly wants to be back, but I think we'll let the doctors dictate when he does come back," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said. "When he's ready and he's able, I'm sure he'll be out there, but we want to make sure he's fully recovered from this surgery first."
— A high school pitcher from Long Island made his first varsity start a memorable one, striking out all 21 batters for a perfect game in a 15-0 win.
Right-hander Mike Delio, who pitched for the Carle Place junior varsity the last two seasons, dominated Hempstead in the nonleague game Tuesday.
"I've had dreams of throwing no-hitters and perfect games, but nothing like this," Delio said (via Newsday). This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction
The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane "biography" of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a historian's perspective, and a biographer's passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out "war against cancer." The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave cut off her malignant breast, to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjee's own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to survive—and to increase our understanding of this iconic disease. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

I heard the author on Public Radio and purchased the Nookbook. It is an excellent history of cancer and cancer research that strips away much of the mystery of the disease. I found it compelling and not difficult to read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has cancer or knows someone struggling with the disease. This is not a how-to book on comforting those with cancer. This is a book that gives knowledge on how the disease exists in the body and the challenges that lie ahead in defeating it. "The Emperor of All Maladies" not only contains facts but passion in fighting cancer and compassion in treating it. A must read.
As a young physician, it was fascinating to hear about a disease that continues and will continue to haunt the human race. Towards the end, the pathways bit might be too much for a lay reader, but overall this is a fantastic book and will hopefully inspire some to cure cancer or to be at least cured.
Maybe I loved it because I've been diagnosed with cancer and wanted to know more, but I couldn't put this book down. To me, it read like a who-done-it. It answered so many questions for me -- even questions I didn't know I had until I began reading. It gets very technical at times, but its written so that it is still understandable. Very well done.
As a biology student, I can assure you that this book is fascinating and elegant in every way. The way the author describes cancer pharmaceutics in the most elegant and beautiful way possible. He describes cisplatin as a "winged molecule that descends on DNA interrupting replication. If you are at all interested in the history of genetics or oncology, it is all covered in this book from Sidney Farber's discovery of Aminopterin to Thomas Hunt Morgan's work, to the state and future of cancer biology today. A great read.
The Emperor of All Maladies is a sweeping "biography" of cancer covering archeological/ancient history to present-day. It is very well-informed, well written, and thorough. Definitely worth a read for anyone who is interested in the history of cancer or medicine. Well-deserving of the Pulitzer Prize it won in 2011. I think it was written with the popular reader in mind (he DOES tell us what DNA is at the beginning of the book), but the book quickly delves into terminology and topics that I suspect would be very heavy to someone who doesn't already know a little about biology/medicine. This is especially true in the second half of the book. Mukherjee also is SO thorough that the book becomes extremely long, which is difficult for those of us with a short attention span. Also, I got great amusement out of his formulaically inserted personal patient pieces. It was good that he had them (they broke up the difficult scientific passages) but I could tell that they were written by a scientist and not a journalist (i.e. they were comprised of literal rather than emotive descriptions). Being a scientist myself, this made me chuckle (alas! an emotion). However, I think the personal patient pieces were interesting and elicited enough emotion to engage the readers. They worked for me, anyway
I picked up this book because I was, and I am sure you are, curious as to the hype surrounding it- I'm sure glad I did! Mukherjee did an excellent job in capturing and sustaining my interest through this chronicle of cancer's history. He was amazing at explaining the biological nitty-gritty details of cancer in a colloquial manner. I appreciate all that I learned from this life changing book.
You don't have to be a physician or scientist to get into Dr. Mukherjee's excellent biography of cancer. What is fascinating is that he calls this a biography, and as you read the history of this disease, you'll understand why. He treats cancer as if it is a living thing that warrants a biography. He blends history, sociology, psychology, forensic science and good old-fashioned detective work to make a highly readable history of how mankind has been in battle with this disease. He also gives tremendous insight into our modern day war on cancer: what has worked, what has not, and why. The best part of reading The Emperor is the writing style. On every page, Dr. Mukherjee gives an almost poetic description or phrase that makes you realize this man is not just a great doctor, but a great writer as well.
This very lengthy history of the dreaded *C* was quite eye opening. I have been an RN since the late 70's,and it'amazing what leaps and bounds have been made during my career This is not always an easy read and sometimes comes across like a textbook, but it really covers cancer and its treatment with a highly clinical viewpoint. IKept waiting for the human aspect, but those glimpses were few and far between. Still, very educational
I really liked this book. So many things I did not realize about cancer and the search for cures and therapies. You'll get up close and personal.
I thoroughly enjoyed every page. By reading the book in its entireity the reader has a deep sense of respect, awe, and frustration towards human nature's 'Emperor of all 'Maladies' Well done.......
At the recommendation of an oncologist at tumor board, I decided to buy this book & glad to read this during my semester off from school, before I begin my journey in CA biology. It has given me a new insight on a group of diseases that continues to be a mystery, even as we solve one small piece of this large puzzle. Personally, it left me in awe in how far we have come & more enthralled with oncology than I was before. I very highly recommend this book, it is especially helpful as a cancer registrar, knowing how these drugs came about & how they attack cancer.
The book I needed to have when my young wife was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer three years ago. What informed questions we could have asked!
Wonderful blending of the scientific hunt for cancer cures, the author's personal experience with cancer patients and the evolution of medical knowledge - both as it relates to cancer but generally as well. It explained a lot of the time lag between research and treatment so that even as researchers were discovering tons about the workings of cancer - particularly the genetic components - treatment still consisted of refinements of the brute force chemo, radiation and surgery until well into the 90s for the most part. It's only since then that treatments using the genetic knowledge became available and that continues today. Particularly anyone having to make decisions involving treatment - whether professionally, personally or on behalf of loved ones - this is a must-read to put things in perspective.
This book is very well written and highly informative. By the time I finished I had a much better understanding of what cancer is and why it is treated the way it is. The author does this by tracing the long history of cancer and cancer research up to the modern day. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn more about cancer or just enjoys science related books.
I you've ever wondered about cancer this is a book to read. I study cancer for a living and found this book to be extremely comprehensive and able to illustrate the full scope of cancer and the problem it presents to doctors and researchers. It is great to find a book that is well researched and translates cancer into laymans terms.
Very informative and written so that a non medical person is able to understand.
This was so complete and so interesting. Can't wait to read the sequel in 10 years.
Non survivors may not find it interesting, but I was fascinated to read the history of this ancient disease that is so much our part of ourselves.
I found the book educational. It presented a good overview of the history of cancer, it's diagnosis and the medical fraternities attempts at treatment. It is a grizzly subject but the author also reviewed our recent deeper understanding of the causes of cancer and how that is leading to much less deadly therapies. So it ends on an encouraging note.
These were the words a doctor used one year ago as he explained nmy spouse's C. The first chapter was captivating. Our son who gave it as a birthday gift noted that despite the title it was a very good read. I can confirm his take.
A very interesting read concerning a thousand foot view of the history of cancer.
This is a biography of an unlikely subject: cancer. I have a particular interest in this topic as one of my sons is pursuing a PhD in molecular biology and genetics to become a cancer research scientist. This book helped me understand his field. To be perfectly honest, I had to overcome many generations of familial hypochondria to read this book and once I shoved those fears aside, I found the history of the diseases that make up cancer, its treatments and discoveries very interesting. The author's writing style makes medical and scientific information accessible to the layperson. His colorful descriptions of the doctors and scientists who have played roles in cancer's biography, from ancient Egypt to modern times, make the book engaging. He weaves his own experience as a cancer oncologist into the story and he treats cancer patients who play roles in the book with dignity. I often find Pulitzer prize winning books too high brow or intellectual for entertaining reading, but this is a book I would recommend to anyone who is interested in this subject.
One of the most gripping, interesting, and thoughtful books I have read in 2012.
Persons who suffer, caregivers, and interested observers will all benefit from the study of the history of this malady that continues until the present day. My own personal condition, Multiple Myeloma, does not receive lots of in depth study but the explanations of all of the symptoms and treatments for the various forms helped me to better understand my treatment progression. This work lets the reader in on the "why" of the present day treatment procedures something every sufferer needs to better understand. Surprisingly easy to read considering the large volume of information.
This was a fascinating book about the history of and man's fight against cancer. I lost a loved one to leukemia, the type of cancer that figures prominently in the medical history of this disease, so it was especially moving to me. My one slight negative is that there is a lot of "science" in this book and there were a few times when I couldn't quite keep things straight. I would have liked to have seen a few more illustrations to accompany the narrative discussion of the biology and chemistry behind cancer.

Balanceiser - Yet another balancer robot
November 13, 2012
Ok here I will be tracking my attempt to make a balance robot .
Some photos from a raw sketch model I made in sketch up follows .
Ok here it is .
I will use a wii nunchuck as an accelometer and further input .
2 futaba standard continue rotation servos from parallax .
an arduino duemilanove , a breadboard ,lots of wire and
some custom made brackets for the servos and the nunchuck on the top of the bot .
I will update the blog when I have some results .
update(15/11/2012):I designed the servos bracket .
Sketch follows .
Next thing on the list is to print the bracket .
update(16/11/2012) I decided to use an already designed bracket that suits me so
this is it .
And here it is on the base of the robot .
I may need to buy some bigger wheels .
Next is to print the secont bracket and put it on the other side of the base.
update(17/11/2012) Second bracket added on the base .
Next thing is to put some support to the brackets so they are anigned with base .
Propably a pice of wood or metal .
update(23/11/2012):support added .
Here is the bot with the support added.
update(25/11/2012)Main body of the robot is ready electronics and programming are to be done next .
update(29/11/2012) Arduino added and wiring is done .
Thats it for now ,hope you like it . :)
I use this
I use this plugin http://www.guitar-list.com/download-software/convert-sketchup-skp-files-dxf-or-stl to export STL files directly from SketchUp... I get a file, but since I don't any printer to use it further I'm not vouch for it 100%
However it may be useful if you check that your object is considered a solid (no leaks) in SketchUp, if in your object info box appears a volume... you have a solid, otherwise... there's leaks... a plugin to help you find those leaks might be useful too.
I'm using this one
I'm using this one here:
host the file somewhere, and,
post a link to the hosted file. Dropbox is one option.
Reversed Faces
By the looks of your renders, you have a bunch of faces that are reversed. All the faces that are a "blueish hue" are faces that you are actually looking at the wrong side of. Inside out, as it were. To remedy the problem, you need to right click the backwards face and select "reverse face" it should instantly turn white or a very light grey.
Another common problem of solidity in sketch-up is a face that is actually inside your model. You need to remove all those as well. First, delete a large face so you can have a look inside (you can press "x" to make the model transparent, but you still won't be able to select the face.) If there is a face inside the model select it, delete it, and draw a line on the perimeter of the face you deleted to fill in the hole.
Hope this helps. Your models look good.

The recently opened Toitu Otago Settlers Museum is making
positive progress towards its new higher attendance target
after more than 7000 visitors flocked in since last Friday,
organisers say.
The museum previously attracted about 65,000 visitors a year,
and has been closed for the past two years as its $37.5
million redevelopment project was completed.
Museum director Linda Wigley said the museum had already made
a ''fantastic start'' towards its new 180,000 annual
attendance target, and the primary school summer holiday was
likely to further boost attendance.
About 7000 visitors had arrived between pre-opening
celebrations last Friday and Tuesday this week.
Since the museum had formally reopened on Saturday, about
2000 people a day had attended over the weekend and strong
attendance was continuing.
Many positive comments were coming in from visitors, much of
it reflected in small notes the public had been able to place
on a sculpture at the south end of the museum complex, she
The museum's popular Pixie Town display and Santa were adding
to public interest.

I will build several community sites that somehow similar structure. I will use buddypress. I am new to Wordpress I have used Drupal before. Currently buddypress 1.6.1 version states that it works with multisite configuration. What about other popular plugins do they also work with multisite? In Drupal multisite is straightforward, but I have read some problems with Wordpress multisite plugin support. Which one is less trouble multiple distinct setups for each domain or using one instalation with multisite configuration.
All properly written plugins work on multisite too. You should still test each plugin separately and in combination with others on a development installation.
Keep in mind, the wordpress.org plugin repository is just hosting many plugins; there is no quality control – read the code before you install anything. Use the plugin Log Deprecated Notices and check each plugin for these notices. They are usually (but not necessary) a indicator for wrong code.

I have been binge watching this show and it is a shame how racist this show is. In one episode, one person served burnt potato, another added no salt to her lamb. The third person made a Bangladeshi curry, the best tasting bite according to judges, with peppers which masked the flavor of Rhubarb she was shown to have added to the dish. She get chopped for these reason and Mr Burnt and Ms No Salt proceed.
In another episode, an Armenian creates the best lamb according to the judges themselves, the judges show other dishes having serious flaws such as raw meat, they chop the Armenian for adding mayo to his alioli.
In yet another case, an Indian chef makes and presents the best dish per judges, other two have serious problems like omission on their dishes, the Indian chef gets chopped.
In another, a black kid gets chopped in the final round when the competing dish is a mess.
I mean the judges' decision should at least be consistent with their own critique! Or may be they should mention ethnicity in the critique openly and face up to it.

Skip to comments.Study finds U.S. bias against women in science
Posted on 09/21/2006 2:56:20 PM PDT by presidio9
click here to read article
Who makes up this expert panel? Well, its head was Donna E. Shalala, a former secretary of health and human services in the Clinton administration and a well-known feminist.
Also on board was Elizabeth Spelke, a professor of psychology at Harvard whose views on this matter should already be crystal clear. In regard to Larry Summers purportedly sexist remarks on women in the hard scienceswhich were surely the impetus behind this expert panel in the first placeMs. Spelke said: I disagree point for point. Ah, so Ms. Spelke already knew the conclusions the expert panel would come to before she became one of its experts.
And lets not forget panelist Ana Mari Cauce, a University of Washington psychologist and contributor to the tome Bringing Cultural Diversity to Feminist Psychology. Nor should we leave out Ruth J. Simmons, the president of Brown University and a board member of the radical feminist journal Meridians. Gee, can anyone say ringers?
Hmmm. Its starting to sound as if the NASs study was something of a foregone conclusion.
But wait, dear reader, it gets even more pathetic. The obviously dispassionate and objective panel of experts dedicated its work to Denice Denton, the deceased chancellor of UC Santa Cruz who was a lesbian crusader for feminist causes. Huh: Perhaps the only thing this panel is expert in is fooling dimwitted journalists into spreading its propaganda.
I would like to see a study about why there are so few men in elementary teaching, nursing, physical therapy, and secretarial work.
Did they test for intelligence? I doubt it.
It is well-accepted that men tend to the extremes of the intelligence scale. Being a hard science professor requires more intelligence than just about anything. (We can ignore the softer fields of academia where politics play a larger role.)
I'd like to see what the results are when one controls for conventional IQ measures. If they are as I suspect (that people tend to advance regardless of gender based mostly on IQ) then that would also tend to validate the IQ test itself.
Must be all those women teachers from elementary, jr and high school.
Is is sexist for women to point out sexual differences?
Given that the report writing was headed by Donna Shalala, of Clinton Administration fame, I would believe that even a 20% difference in IQ and a 20% difference in number of hours worked between men and women would not be a "good enough reason" in her judgement.
Is this prejudice? You bet, based on her previous performance.
Perhaps they should find a good explanation (i.e. positive data) before generating a press release, rather than leaving the open-ended, backhanded implication that 'inherent prejudice' is somehow responsible for this 'problem'.
How do I know this? I am an exception as I have a bachelor's in physics.
Oh I'm doing it wrong...! (taking gloved hands out of hood --chick recoils in horror at prospect of doing it, backing up 5 meters...)
They like those jobs that you walk away from at the end of the day.
Dammit, why can't wait tables at Hooters???
Serious fabricated BS report. Has anyone seen a campus today? It is all women, 55% and up are women.
All through our early history, the big politicians had male secretaries. Meriweather Lewis was Thomas Jefferson's. I'd say Knox was Washington's but he was more like his ghost writer.
How many world class chess players are there? And why were they shut out?
(Does pure ability have anything to do with it?)
(From a Laura Ingram interview.)
What a crock. ANy woman who can get an engineering degree has lifetime guaranteed employment.
man... You're too nice!!! I got to refrain myself though...
The few women that worked for us were "quiters". They couldn't cut it and weren't willing to give the time required for getting to the top.
My granddaughter LOVES mathematics. She's perfect for my profession. None of us can spell!!!
so, they found explanations, but they weren't considered "good" explanations....
girls... we ALWAYS have exception. My other-half has the MS degree and she's the director of engineering with hundreds engineers and scientists under her. I hope she doesn't read this board :)
Nice find.
Agreed. I hear more "but it's hard" or "I don't know how you do it!" from women when they talk about computers (I am a programmer). In my experience the majority of the women in our computer science program in college wanted to A. work in middle management B. do something technology-related, but not programming or C. teach. I admit that I would love to teach if it paid better.
Especially if you are a female, lesbian, minority, disabled female engineer with a great set of knockers!
Anyone's b.s. detector should be on full alert when any supposedly "objective" report has a leftist fraud like Donna Shalalalaaaa associated with it.... maybe the committee's competent, maybe it's not, but seeing the name Donna Shalala associated with it is good reason to suspect that the fix was in....
I have a degree in engineering from 20 years ago. Back then, there weren't many women in my science, math, and engineering classes.
Maybe women don't want to be engineers, scientists, etc.
I'm not going to recommend the career to my daughters, one of who is much smarter than I ever was. They are not good careers to have if you also want to be a mom.
One of my daughters is great at math, so I am encouraging her to be an accountant. She'll be able to work part-time when she is a mom.
I think my extremely gifted daughter will make a great teacher. I don't see her in the corporate world. She is not competitive. She also loves homemaking activities like sewing, cooking, etc. She's smarter than my son (who is also very smart), but she just has a different personality.
You are correct, and I have a degree in computer science. I was originally a chemical engineering major, and there were very few women in that degree. Computer science had more women in it than chemical engineering, but we were still the minority.
Please tell me how to get a part-time job with my engineering degree. I am looking for part-time work, and I don't even know where to begin.
What do you do? One of my daughters has speech problems, can't spell, and is slow at reading. However, she is great at math!!!!!!!! I'm thinking she would make a great accountant. She loves money and math.
And I'm up against women too, every chance I get.
I don't know what they're talking about. Women tend to be attracted to the life sciences. If you look at the numbers of women in medical school or in doctoral programs in the biological sciences, or if you look at the citations in major journals, you'll see a lot of women. Women like studying living things; it's in our genes. Not many of us like rocks, physics, and math (though my cousin does physics at a major university).
Many women also don't do as well with spacial relationships than men do, so we are also less attracted to chemistry and physics.
I do think expectations have something to do with it. I know families in which there are very, very bright, talented girls who are sincerely interested in the sciences and would like to be physicians or researchers, but are actively discouraged by less-educated, unsupportive parents.
This reminds me of the immortal words of Brother Dave Gardner:
"If you're against women you're for them, and if you're for them you're against them."
My wife hates math, science and engineering. I must be preventing her from liking these subjects, so I must be sexist...
I think elementary teachers (don't have experience with older teachers yet) are also not very supportive of boys or girls that are good in math and science.
Is she dyslexic? My husbands math teacher is a mild dyslexic.
women do make up over 50% of the population.
This cannot possibly be true. Freepers on Crevo threads have assured me that Scientists are TOTALLY objective and only care about facts and truth. They have no bias. They are not driven by emotion or animosity. They are, apparently, all like Commander Data. This must be a bogus study.
My mother in law got a degree in mathamatics, and was a software engineer, she just got a promotion into management (she is Korean by the way). My little sister works in computer networking and security, and has become the go-to woman in her department (she hasn't even worked there a year) She doesn't have a degree, but has military experience(not korean). And my cousin-in-law also works in IT (not korean). I know lots of women who have careers in computers. I am a college student and have meet lots of women interested in hard science. I had a chemist in my economics class. And half my integral calculus class were women. (I got an A!!! Who says dyslexics can't do math!) And my husband's math teacher is a woman is working on getting her PHD in mathmatics.
LOL, owned
Or finance or economics, maybe. My (limited) experience with accounting is that it really doesn't require much math--it's more about organization and rules, which are really a different sort of skill. Anyone seriously interested in math would probably be bored.
I am also a dyslexic. It runs in my family. Some of the most inovative thinkers have some form of what people think of as a learning disablity. I don't think of it as a disablity, but as a different way of looking at things and processing information.
Wasn't she the one who jumped off a building after getting caught giving her "wife" a high paying, do nothing job?
software engineers are glorified programmers (nothing wrong with that), and math degrees are not science.
Women stay away from the non-life sciences and engineering in droves, they are not as suited for it, nor as interested. Women have the luxury of choosing majors based on interest and passing fancy (media studies and art history majors for example, are almost all women or gay men). Men tend to major in areas that relate directy to income.
yep, after demanding $600,000 worth of improvements to the free 2,680-square-foot home given to her by UC Santa Cruz, (which included a new fence for her dogs, new wiring, speakers, amplifier and CD player for a built-in sound system and dozens of others perks), Denise Denton also hired her girlfriend, Gretchen Kalonji - a former University of Washington professor of materials science, into a $192,000 UC management position. UC also provided Kalonji, then Denton's partner of seven years, a housing assistance allowance of up to $50,000.
The media discovered how deeply she had pushed her snout into the public trough and was running stories about it, so she took a weeks "leave of absence" (read: suspended pending investigation) and leaped off The Paramount Hotel.
How appropriate that this report was dedicated to a Greedy, Grasping, Materialistic, Feminist-Lebsian-Academic Hack Who Got Caught. Makes you wonder how many simultaneous levels of Hell she is burning in...

We need to ask ourselves why the cries of Jonathon Martin took so long to hear. Where were his teammates, coaches, and the rest of people in the Dolphins organization?
The Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin incident -- both on and off the field -- reveals a culture where the "rules of the game" at best tolerated and at worst endorsed a "Wild West" culture of meanness, hazing, bullying and anything-goes.
The debate swirling around Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito has gone well beyond the sports pages and involves far more than the "code" of the NFL locker room.
A tipping point begins to protrude from the oceanic depths of this men's only club -- even if ratings are up -- this league is not bulletproof, nor is it made of Teflon; on the contrary, the NFL is dysfunctional, archaic and borderline inhumane.
In a statement released today, the National Football League has expressed its utter bewilderment and confusion over the fact that some of its players act like complete assholes.
Where are the real tough guys in football? I want to see the "real men" who have heart and courage. I am not talking about heroics on the field. I am talking about the guys willing to stand up and say bullying should not be tolerated anywhere in football.
Some have asked how it is possible for a 300-pound pro football player to be a victim of bullying. It's easy to see if you break down the power dynamics.
Last week's Halloween, the last day in the month of October also happens to be the last day of National Bullying Prevention Month. Coincidentally, last week's nationally-televised NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals served as a fitting stage for this issue which is gaining heightened awareness.
During an NFL era of inflated offensive statistics and elite quarterbacking play, Drew Brees is on a level so dominant and special that it can almost be baffling to watch. The New Orleans Saints are not unlike most of the league in that they give a vast amount of responsibility to the quarterback. What Brees does from there though is beyond words.
Apologist-sounding answers aside, I think the NFL and big-time college football need to address this image issue sooner than later. Reputations and ticket sales are at stake.
We all knew that underwear model / actor Justin Deeley would be back on our screens in no time. Now, Justin plays a hunky guardian angel on the recently revived fifth season of Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva.
During my NFL days, my idea of Sunday Fundays -- suiting up to take on an opponent -- was much different than the current take that many Americans have. But now, the concept of Sunday Funday has taken on a whole new meaning.
There's a reason why the 300 section at Metlife stadium is called the nosebleed area, and it has nothing do with the height of the seats.
With so many of the game's most critical plays now reviewed automatically, it's actually time to eliminate the coaches' challenge from the game outright.
Is there a more polarizing figure in the National Football League than the once-named "Chad Ochocinco"? And were the Dolphins correct in letting him go? Here's our take, from deep in the heart of Dolphins Country.
It will not matter to the Patriots or the Jets what Tom Brady, Mark Sanchez or Tim Tebow does if their offensive lines do not improve. Meanwhile, the Dolphins can't figure out whom to start at quarterback -- again.

If your waistline can't afford to actually eat the cookies, the YouTube Girl Scout cookie channel is the perfect way to get your cookie fix. Videos of fun facts, inspirational info, and dancing cookies are enough to leave you satisfied.
If you've never bought into the visual appetite-suppression thing, you're probably on a mad hunt for those green boxes. A quick visit to the Girl Scout website, will guide you to your nearest local council. You can call or visit the council, or sign up to be notified via email when booth sales start in your area.
Cookie booths run from February 25 to March 20. If you'd rather not be chained to a computer waiting for updates, just grab the Girl Scout Cookie Locator app.
Where are those cookies!?!
