Pennsylvania murder suspect freed, later recaptured
Bucks County officials were irate Friday after a man charged with murdering a homeless man in Doylestown last week was set free Thursday morning from a Baltimore jail while awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania.
Dale Wakefield Jr., 21, was recaptured around 6 a.m. Thursday by the Baltimore homicide unit, about four hours after he had been released, officials said Friday.
Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler said he did not know why Wakefield was released, but called the incident "totally unacceptable and outrageous."
"No proper jail could have let him loose, given the paperwork," he said, adding that whomever allowed Wakefield to walk free "should feel the full brunt of whatever public outrage there may be."
The Baltimore Sun reported Friday that Wakefield was released by the order of a Baltimore district judge. A message with the judge's office was not returned Friday.
Heckler said he had "not heard a peep from anybody" in Maryland about the reasons for the release. Any judge's order to release Wakefield, Heckler said, "makes no sense."
Maryland's Department of Public Safety and Correctional Service issued a statement Friday saying officials had "already undertaken a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the release of Dale Wakefield."
"If proper procedures were followed by all involved agencies, Wakefield would not have been released," the statement said. "The department is evaluating each step in its processes leading up to Wakefield's release."
Wakefield is charged with first-degree murder, accused of stabbing and beating 71-year-old George Mohr near the Doylestown train station early July 3 after celebrating his 21st birthday.
Wakefield then fled to Baltimore, authorities said, where his sister attends college. Police arrested him there July 5 and sent him to the Baltimore City Detention Center.
Wakefield waived an extradition hearing and was waiting for Pennsylvania authorities to transport him back to Bucks County when he was released from the jail Thursday around 2 a.m.
Wakefield then called his mother, authorities said, who contacted a Bucks County detective assigned to the case. The detective called the jail, according to Heckler, but received little assistance from employees there.
"We haven't had one useful communication with those people at all," Heckler said.
The detective then contacted the Baltimore homicide detectives unit, Heckler said, which tracked down Wakefield near his sister's home.
After Bucks County officials arrived, Wakefield was taken to Doylestown, where he was arraigned. He is being held in the Bucks County Jail without bail.
Wakefield has a long criminal history. It includes an incident in February 2012 when he "went somewhat berserk" and sparked the lockdown of a trade school he attended in Suffield, Conn., Police Chief Mike Manzi said Friday.
Wakefield smashed tables and threatened a security guard before the SWAT team arrived, Manzi said, adding that Wakefield was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and despondent over his father's recent death.
In September 2012, Wakefield shot his mother in a thigh with a BB gun when she refused to let him drive her car because his license had been suspended, according to the affidavit filed against him in Carbon County. He pleaded guilty to simple assault and was sentenced to seven to 23 months in county jail.
Wakefield was released in March after receiving credit for time served, according to the Jim Thorpe Times News.
He then moved to Bucks County, living in an apartment near the station where he repeatedly stabbed and beat Mohr, police said.
Heckler said, "We are not letting this go." But he was thankful that Wakefield was recaptured without incident.
"This is just one of those 'what could have been' situations," he said.

Rigid router question. I have a rigid router and bosch table. I want to make sure the router is perfecftly centered on the table. However, no baseplate that matches. I just ordered a peachtree baseplate (similar to rockler I believe). Assuming that works, will that solve my problem?

In his talk, Dr. Stachel will concentrate on Einstein's annus mirabilis, or "miraculous year," and recount the events in Einstein's personal life that led to a miraculous moment in scientific history. In 1905, Einstein published five papers that explained the Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect and proposed his special theory of relativity with its famous equation of e=mc˛. These papers have ensconced Einstein in history as one of the world's most renowned scientists and serve as a foundation for the study of modern physics. Stachel, author of numerous books and articles on Einstein, wrote the introduction to the book, "Einstein's Miraculous Year: Five Papers That Changed the Face of Physics," a compilation and English translation of all five of Einstein's seminal works of 1905, published just in time for the centenary.
The United Nations has endorsed the year 2005 as the World Year of Physics, a time for international celebration of the pioneering scientific contributions of Albert Einstein in 1905. This centennial year also presents a unique opportunity to increase worldwide awareness of the major role physics will play in the coming millennium.
Begun in 1992, the Dibner Library Lecture is held annually and features distinguished scholars who have made significant contributions to his or her field of study. Previous lecturers have included Albert Van Helden, author and professor of history of science at Utrecht University, Netherlands; Ken Alder, author and professor at Northwestern University; Anthony Grafton of Princeton University and contributing editor to The New Republic; and Steven J. Dick of the U.S. Naval Observatory.
Copies of the lectures are available from the Director's Office, Smithsonian Institution Libraries, P.O. Box 37012, National Museum of Natural History, Room 22, MRC 154, Washington, D.C. 20013-7012. Telephone: (202) 633-2240. They are also posted online at http://www.sil.si.edu/digitalcollections/browse.htm. The lecture series and its publication are made possible by the generous support of The Dibner Fund.
The Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology, one of the Smithsonian Libraries' 20 branches, opened in October 1976. The library's original collection of 10,000 rare books and 1,600 manuscript groups came to the Smithsonian from the Burndy Library, founded by Bern Dibner in Norwalk, Conn., at the time of America's bicentennial celebrations. The collection, now numbering more than 25,000 books and 1,800 manuscript groups, includes premier scientific texts spanning the 15th to the early 20th centuries and has grown to form one of the cornerstones of the Smithsonian Libraries' collections. For nearly 30 years, this library has provided vital primary sources to scholars, curators and members of the scientific community.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is hopefully making her career comeback in the form of a new fall CBS drama. Gellar starred as Buffy in the long lived WB series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer through the 90's and early 00's. The actress is married to Scooby Doo co-star, Freddie Prinze Jr., and has a baby girl, Charlotte, with him. Gellar is starring in the new drama, Ringer, currently in pre-production.
According to Deadline Hollywood, Ringer "centers on a troubled young woman (Gellar) who, while on the run from the mob, hides out by inhabiting the life of her wealthy twin sister, until she learns that her twin's life has a bounty on it as well." I hope Gellar's return to evening television is as successful as her Buffy The Vampire Slayer co-star, Michelle Trachtenberg's career reboot.

As well as a passionate Ranger fan, I am also a passionate fan of hockey so I will include entries dealing with all aspects of the NHL and hockey. Enjoy."
Five years ago today the above blog entry greeted Rangers fans on the first day The New York Rangers Blog was created.
That's right folks, something I started one night while bored in my house has somehow lasted FIVE YEARS.
And as I always say, the blog wouldn't have lasted a year without the support of my readers. You guys are the life blood of this thing and I am so appreciative of your support over the years.
I would have loved to do some kind of meet-up at The Flying Puck to comemorate the occasion, but with the lockout and now the devastation from Hurricane Sandy the last thing I'm in the mood to do is celebrate.
Maybe in a few weeks when life gets back to normal I'll do something. But until then I just want to thank everyone for five amazing years.

New research suggests obesity during pregnancy may increase the chances of having a child with autism.
The study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics is one of the few finding a link between the two.
Although the research doesn't prove obesity causes autism, the authors say their results raise public health concerns because of the high level of obesity in the United States.
On average, women face a one in 88 chance of having a child with autism. This study found that obesity during pregnancy increase those odds to one in 53.
Researchers at the University of California-Davis studied about 1,000 California children, ages 2 to 5.
Previous research has also linked obesity during pregnancy with stillbirths, premature births, and some birth defects.

Getting ready
January 14, 2009 - John Mehno
*Just heard one of the TV stations touting it has all the school closings and delays in high definition. Yes, that's the reason to sink money in a new set.
*Anyway, there was a great moment in Mike Tomlin's Tuesday press briefing. Someone mentioned to him that several players have commented on how much he's improved as a coach. Tomlin has a pretty good poker face, but he was clearly annoyed with the question.
No. 1, you don't expect a coach to get reflective when he's preparing for a conference championship game. There aren't enough minutes in the hours leading up to Sunday, and a coach's obligations to media availability increase during the week of a championship game. The coaches want to do their duty, then get back to work. I don't know if Tomlin sits back and evaluates his decisions and strategies. But if he does, I'm reasonably sure that self-examination won't come at a press conference. Then the question also presumes that Tomlin was flawed in his first year as a coach, and that's at least a little insulting.
So Tomlin shot the whole thing down and made it clear he didn't think much of the question. He suffered that lame Santa Claus bit a few weeks ago with more patience.
*Two more things as we grind closer to Sunday's kickoff: I don't know who's going to win, and I don't have any connections for tickets to any game. Sorry on both counts.
*Hey, the Pirates announced their promotional schedule today. It's the usual assortment of bobbleheads, fireworks, caps and musical acts that make you say, "I didn't know they were still alive." After 16 losing seasons, some people aren't buying tickets unless you give them patio furniture.

Background informationEdit
Some of the special features of this DVD were done by Andy Mangels who, for several years, did special features for other DVDs. He reflected, "When Paramount did the TAS series on DVD, I proposed to do the special features. They passed, but I did end up providing a lot of material they used for their set and documentary." [1]
CBS remastered the series in 1080p HD for this release. While the series has not yet seen an HD release, the episode More Tribbles, More Troubles has been released in full 1080p HD on the Star Trek: Season 2 Remastered Blu-Ray set. However the NTSC DVD's themselves feature the episodes in Enhanced-Definition 480p/24p.
The release artwork on the DVDs feature main characters of the series, in animated form:
- Disc one - James T. Kirk
- Disc two - Spock
- Disc three - Montgomery Scott
- Disc four - Leonard McCoy
Incongruously, one section of the booklet refers once to Spock as "Dr. Spock".

College Republicans and Democrats pulled the trigger on gun control debate a symposium hosted by the groups on Thursday, April 10.
Jonathan Euchner, assistant professor of political science at Missouri Western, served as a monitor for the debate at in Spratt Education Hall.
Panelists Edwin Taylor, assistant professor of political science, Steven Greiert, professor of history, and City Councilmember P.J. Kovac sat in the front of the room as dozens of students filled the seats
The panelists gave their viewpoints on numerous questions, both prepared and submitted by the student audience. Each panelists was given two minutes to respond to questions over the true interpretation of the second amendment, permit processes and gun control effects on schools and mass shootings.
Taylor sided more liberally than the other two panelists. He tended to side with the Democratic Party and their belief that more guns did not mean more safety.
When asked if he believed guns should be allowed on campus, he responded with a firm "no."
"You cannot shoot your way to a safe society. I think it is a terrible idea," Taylor said. "I give out a lot of C's, D's and F's, and it is a reasonable and legitimate fear that when I'm having a conversation with a student about grades, I don't know if he'll pull out a pencil or a gun."
Taylor also did not believe that arming faculty and staff would be a good idea.
"In kindness, I think some of my colleagues are crazy, myself probably among them, and I don't know if I would want them to have guns," Taylor said.
Kovac disagreed with Taylor, and brought up the two shootings at Fort Hood, Texas.
"With that logic, it's like Fort Hood, there have been two shootings. Those people are trained, that is their livelihood. Why in the world after one shooting, is Fort Hood a gun-free zone? It makes no sense, you can't tell me that if they had guns that that guy wouldn't have been stopped in a heartbeat," Kovac said. "Same thing goes for a campus."
Greiert, a Conservative, admitted whole-heartly that he disagreed with Taylor."The basis of the second amendment is rights versus powers. There is no parallel. This is an individual right," Greiert said. "It is, as it's said, 'the right of the people.' The militia are citizen soldiers. The well regulated militia is the people. So I believe it is the people who have the right to own a gun, not a militia."

The original plan called for the Sirata Beach Resort on St. Pete Beach to replace its roof and spruce up its suites after the Republican National Convention came to Tampa in August. Needless to say, that timeline has been revised.
A little over a million dollars later, the new roof is in place and the new furniture has arrived. The resort also is bulking up its staff and renting a 20-foot Jumbotron for nighttime convention viewing parties. Like hotels and resorts around the Tampa Bay area, it is spending money on decor and entertainment equipment, in hopes that the investments will pay off when the flood of delegates arrives.
The resort is setting up an 80- by 160-foot tent on the beach, where delegates can gather for late-night parties after they return from the convention, said Cricket Wagner, the Sirata's marketing director. She is expecting roughly 600 delegates from New Jersey, including Republican Gov. Chris Christie. The delegation is taking over 362 of the resort's 380 rooms, but it could expand to fill the entire resort if the need arises. "We've closed out the hotel," Wagner said.
Less than a mile away, the Postcard Inn also is planning to be a destination, and not just for the Alaska delegation that will have its headquarters there. Patrick Brophy, the inn's general manager, said he expects a couple of thousand people per day.
"This is going to be the fun, hot place to be," Brophy said. "But you have to be invited."
A Washington, D.C.-based events company — Brophy would not disclose its name — will host different delegations as well as individual attendees at the inn throughout the day, he said, beginning with a concert on the beach. There also will be concerts on the pool deck, paddleboarding, beach volleyball, corn hole and cabanas.
Exactly who the musicians and entertainers will be, Brophy would not say, but "it won't be like your dad and your brother playing a guitar, these will be A-liners," he said.
For other hotels, preparing for the Republican National Convention is less about creating a red-hot beach party atmosphere than handling the flow of visitors, but that still means spending money, particularly on staff.
"We're adding additional servers, bartenders, wait staff, that kind of thing," said Bob Sauerwine, director of sales for the Holiday Inn at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, where both the Colorado and New Mexico delegations are staying.
Sauerwine's delegates will likely go elsewhere for evening festivities, so he and his staff are preparing breakfast events and training the new hires.
"We're going to be so busy," he said, "which is unlike this time of year."

nope.My modem is connected to the computer through a USB cord. Is there any other way to hook up the Lan Adapter without plugging an ethernet cord into the modem. Stupid question, but i'm desperate.
you only need drivers when connecting via USB (as it seems you currentlyOR is there anyway to find out whats wrong with my modem. I think it stopped working when our old computer stuffed up. Maybe not the right drivers?
are). how did you post this message? through the modem? if so, it's obviously
tbh, i'd connect via ethernet every time. it always seems more stable than
try connecting your modem/router to your PC via ethernet then re-boot the modem. once you have re-booted, go into it's configuration pages to see
if DHCP is enabled. DHCP is the service which allocates IP addresses to
pc's/consoles which are attached to the modem/router.
next, on the Wii, go into it's internet connection options and create a "new"
wired connection. leave all settings to obtain information automatically.
see if that works.

A "scratched" hiker lost in the woods of the Angeles National Forest since Sunday is recovering in the hospital thanks to the heroic efforts of three hikers including a husband and wife who heard his cries for help, said the man's rescuer.
When the hikers heard the man's desperate cries one of them - Tyler Knapp - hiked down a waterfall to rescue him.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was airlifted to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Thursday morning after hikers from the Placerita Canyon Nature Center worked with the Search and Rescue Team.
"Me and my wife, Sami, were hiking up Los Pinetos Trail when we heard a faint cry for help," said Knapp, 28, a volunteer at the center.
"I yelled down 'Do you need help?' and 'Do you need an ambulance?' and he shouted 'Yes.'" Knapp said.
Knapp and a third hiker, he knows only as Ken, hiked down to the bottom of a now-dry waterfall near the Walker Ranch Trailhead, about two miles east of the Placerita Canyon Nature Center.
"We found him at the base of the incline. It would have been a little cascade of water if there was water but it was dry," Knapp said.
"He was all scratched up and looked like he had been there a long time," Knapp said. "He said he found water only in the last couple of days and dug a little hole."
The lost hiker apparently sucked water out of it.
"He said he had been camping out there and yelled up for other hikers before but none heard him," Knapp said.
Once Knapp and Ken were with the lost hiker, Knapp shouted information to his wife who then used a cell phone to relay information to search and rescue workers, he said.
The hikers were at the far end of the trail and inside the Angeles National Forest.
The man ate Toyon berries and before he found the groundwater drank his own urine to stay alive, according to the hikers.
The rescue effort got underway when Knapp phoned 9-1-1 on his cell phone, telling officials a hiker apparently injured himself in a fall.
Shortly after 9:15 a.m. Thursday, firefighters were dispatched to an area inside the Angeles National Forest between Sand Canyon and Placerita Canyon, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.
"The call came in as an injury, one patient fell," she said.
A Search & Rescue helicopter team was dispatched to the rugged area to lift the injured hiker off the trail into the chopper and to the hospital.
At 10:10 a.m., the chopper team was in the area, coordinating with the Placerita Canyon Nature Center Association volunteers hiking in the area.

Grateful to you for posting all these data, billy, and providing color and conspiracy theory, etc., but I am none the wiser about the BASIC contradiction, ie. between so many savvy large funds and investors APPARENTLY continuing to hold large qtys of stock, and the (APPARENTLY) nonsensically low PPS!
The PPS has tanked ever so gently, ever since the start of the year, APPARENTLY as people lost patience with and faith in the BO "talks". I'm sure the Omontys recall (late Feb) should have done us no good, but I see no SHARP discontinuity, just the never-ending decline.
When the BO was relinquished there was an immediate and further decisive fall, and as news of the IP theft trickled, grudgingly, out there was another leg down. And PPS is APPARENTLY STILL trickling down, with up days few and far between.
I don't do Level II, so no idea whether the 2xxK trades you annotate are significant (ie. unusual) in the way you hypothesize, but it is titillating, like all your material.
I'm sure it will all become clear just how and why and by whom we were swindled, sometime after it is too late to do much about it.
I only have one (speculative) positive thing to contribute to all this. On another board (QCOR), a fellow everyone trusts (almost venerates) has recently come out with what is apparently an insider tip TO THE EFFECT THAT there will soon be signifcant news in the AFFY/Omontys space (PRESUMABLY that Takeda has found the cause of the adverse reactions, and it's NOT fatal to AFFY/Omontys). He was advising everyone to buy AFFY. Now, while I would never do such a hopeless thing, I nevertheless note that our Omontys royalties may NOT be as dead as we had thought (I remind you that AFFY sold the operations and revenue-rights to Takeda for milestones and royalties).
thanks for the omontys tip, I have been following that story (variuos stories of possible simple fixes) but was reluctant to put it out there. Big tbd obviously but another iron smoldering.
PPS 2.2 The Steamroller theory, depress pps, discourage buying and selling during Belrose deal, keep it out of the news and quite, until its old news
Taking 2.1 a little future:
Apr 22, 238K warchest is sent to third party (ws boutique, experts, no trace to order placer)
Apr 23 Lazard review PR,
Apr 24 some selling, and some buying, thrid party starts the steamroller, establish pps so low.
majority outsiders big and small don't know what to make of it, but mid sized players know stock worth at least $4.50, don't sell.
Apr 29 day before Belrose deal signed, some in the know buy $4.50 for $3.30 but don't go crazie
May 1, news leaks, some selling and buying, third party puts the hammer down harder
May 6, news hits, IP worthless, market reaction, virtually nothing, a little selling and buying
May 10, no news of consequence
May 14, foot off the gas in the steam roller, warchest with pickups sent back.
again, this is a brainstorm, shoot at it, add, subtract, altneratives welcomed
PPS 2.1 Make comments to the top level, this is meant to be brainstorming so don't be affraid to try out ideas (no alien invasions, or sales pitches, pls):
e.g., notice how the how on the day of the 8K, obviously news of disastorous proportions, IP worthless basically, pps actually closes up, vol is below average, what?
My take: steamrollng has price so low no one will sell, and certainly no one would buy. Why not encourage selling? Well if you don't really want to accumulate more shares why encourage selling, and if there were a big sell off it might attract a lot of news and analysis, why do that!

Cousins Chase and Purnell Wilson are separated in age by just two months. On Monday afternoon, they were separated by just two points.
Chase Wilson scored 30 points to lead host Wissahickon over his cousin and Perkiomen Valley, 79-77, in an overtime nonleague boys' basketball game. Not to be outdone by his cousin, Purnell Wilson finished with 34 to pace the Vikings.
Trailing by four points in the final moments of regulation, Chase Wilson raced up the court and was fouled on a three-point attempt with seven seconds remaining. The senior point guard calmly buried his first two free throws before missing his third intentionally. Teammate Jared Reed put back the rebound to send it to overtime.

There's not a lot of tradition in Golden Valley football history.
The program is still in search of its first Foothill League victory and sports an 11-59 all-time record.
But things started to turn around last season, if not on the scoreboard, in a renewed commitment to playing team football.
And while the team may have lost its leading passer, Reid Soliman, rusher, Earl Johnson, and receiver, Isa Bey, there are plenty of pieces left to keep the Grizzlies on the path toward success.
Two of those pieces come in the form of twins Chase and Tyler Lewis — who may be brothers and teammates, but also enjoy a little competition.
"There's a couple times where you can tell they're brothers, especially twins," says Golden Valley head coach Robert Fisher. "Because they end up getting a little chippy with each other, yelling at each other like brothers do.
And you're like, 'Hey, wait a minute, we can't do the brother thing on the field.' But they have each other's back.
Chase will do something good and Tyler's the first one, 'Hey that's my brother.' It's kind of funny."
And it's fitting that Tyler would cheer on his brother, since it was Chase that convinced Tyler to try out for football in the first place.
"I was never big into sports (when I was younger)," Tyler says. "That just wasn't my thing back then, and my brother came to me and said, 'You need to try football.' I don't like running; it's too much work getting out there everyday. I wasn't committed. But he stepped me up and made me a better athlete."
It was different for Chase, who grew up enjoying sports, even if he couldn't participate on a team.
"My dad would always get the football and have me run routes and I would practice wide receiver," Chase says. "I had never played on a team, so that helped prepare me for high school. I always wanted to play football. But my parents always worked, so high school was my chance."
Their different views of football growing up aren't the only differences you'll find in the twins.
"I describe Chase as if there was a wall, Chase would try to walk through the wall," says their father Bill Lewis. "Tyler would try to find a door to walk through the wall. One's a bit more aggressive, and the other one is more analytical."
Chase will start at quarterback for the Grizzlies and may also see time at running back and slot receiver.
Tyler is a returning all-league punter, who pinned three punts inside the 3-yard line last year in a game against Canyon.
The duo should also see time in the defensive backfield.
Things haven't always come easily for the twins, though.
In an era of high school football where athletes have been playing at the youth level for years, the Lewis brothers weren't exposed to the game until their freshman year on the Golden Valley campus.
Instead of team sports, the two participated in taekwondo, in which Tyler received a black belt and Chase was black belt recommended.
And in that sense, playing at Golden Valley may have been the perfect fit.
"I think by being at Golden Valley, it's an advantage," Bill says. "At a lot of other schools, they probably wouldn't even have gotten an opportunity to put pads on and go out to their first practice because there would be a lot of guys with football experience.
"They've had an opportunity to grow, and grow with the program," he added.
And grow they have.
"Freshman year, I was scared to hit, but I was always out there wanting to play," Chase says. "From freshman year to now, I've matured more, and I love the game more and I want to make bigger plays."
That's something their coach has noticed.
"In the three years that I've seen them at Golden Valley it's been a huge transformation," Fisher says. "Just from last year to this year, they've learned so much about the game."
As their roles have increased, the program has continued to grow as well. The Grizzlies continue to get closer and closer to breaking through and picking up their first league win.
Last season, Golden Valley led rival West Ranch 22-14 at half time, only to lose 28-22 in a nailbiter.
This season, Chase and Tyler would love nothing more than to have their names forever etched into Grizzlies history as key pieces of that first Foothill victory.
"Winning a league game would mean everything," Tyler Lewis says. "Varsity hasn't won one league game yet, and turning that around would make history for Golden Valley."
His brother agrees.
"It'd be amazing," Chase says. "Leaving a name behind is always a little thing in the back of your mind. I want to be remembered at Golden Valley High School."

- - K2 Brigade Wide vs Ride Agenda Wide (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/45546-k2-brigade-wide-vs-ride-agenda.html)
K2 Brigade Wide vs Ride Agenda Wide
I have done a ton of research for my first board and have narrowed my search down to the K2 Brigade Wide 159 or the Ride Agenda Wide 161. Was wondering if anyone rides these and if one is preferred over the other. The both seem to be pretty equal in construction and price. Thanks.
I just got a 156 Ride Agenda so ill give you the details once i ride it!
As I'm trying to decide between the exactly same two boards (just not wide), it would be nice if someone could bring up anything at all that makes them different.
The only stat that varies is that K2 has 2000 base and the Ride - 1500. K2 is slightly offset which is unusual for a true twin with same flex and size on both ends but shouldn't be an issue as you can still put bindings in the centered position if you choose to. Ride is a bit wider for same length.
I can get the K2 for $190 and the Ride for $220.
Or if anyone has other suggestions in the low-end price range for a decent all-mountain true twin, please let me know. I'm 210lbs, 6ft, size 11 and only started snowboarding this season. Mostly man made snow, small hills (Blue Mountain, Ontario)
Good question? Any word on either board? Did u get one if so how is it
Re: K2 Brigade Wide vs Ride Agenda Wide
I ended up with the Ride Agenda because I didn't have to wait for it vs. buying the Brigade from an online store that doesn't allow local pickups.
I am very happy with the board so far. It does chip fairly easy (top surface) but other than that it seems to be great for a beginner. Very responsive, easy to turn, not too fast though. I have Ride LX bindings with it and ThirtyTwo boots. The combination works very well for me.
For the price, I would definitely recommend it. I started the season on some outdated 5150 and it is heaven and earth.

John Milton (1608-1674) composed Paradise Lost as his magnum opus, an epic of almost 11,000 lines. Though the dates of composition are uncertain, the work was published in ten books in 1667, then slightly revised and restructured into twelve books for the 1674 edition. At the behest of his printer, Milton in the later edition included prose arguments at the head of each book to provide a synopsis of the action, to identify major characters, and to facilitate the understanding of readers. The narrative begins with the defeat of Satan after his failed attempt to overthrow the godhead, follows him through the stages of his vengeful plot to subvert God's newest creation, humankind, and achieves its climax at the downfall of …

SEATTLE — Seattle Public Schools (SPS) has proposed making changes to its transportation plan, including bus ride times of up to 45 times, with expected savings for the district between $250,000 and $500,000.
Each year, SPS' board approves transportation standards — the times at which school buses drop off students at school and pick them up after school. The transportation standards are adjusted for many reasons, including when routes change or when new schools are opened.
The 2011-12 school year's transportation standards changes were expected to save the district approximately $4 million, but due to enrollment growth, changes in programs and routing challenges, officials said approximately $2 million is being realized from those changes.
Given the district's continuing budget shortfalls, it was hoped that the transportation standards adopted for 2012-13 would generate additional savings to balance the budget. However, given the growth in enrollment, the projected savings are minimal.
This spring, officials worked to develop a balanced budget for the upcoming school year, and the school board requested an analysis of options that could generate more savings from transportation.
The transportation office was restructured, and staff was asked to continue researching the adopted standards and also to research new cost-saving options for board review. Proposed modified standards for 2012-13 were introduced to the school board on May 2, which received feedback from the community.
Since then, the transportation staff has continued to research various options, and this additional research will result in a new proposal to the school board on May 16.
The proposal will return to the current 2011-12 transportation plan, which has a minimal impact on current bell times, and the proposal will return to 2010 ride times of up to 45 minutes. (As SBF previously reported, the 2011-12 plan decreased the bus ride time for attendance-area schools to 25 minutes or less.)
Officials said that in addition to the anticipated $250,000 to $500,000 in savings, the proposed new option is responsive to the community feedback and will impact the students, schools and families the least.
Moreover, to have a more thorough analysis of options for the 2013-14 school year and beyond, SPS has identified a task force that comprises state and local technical transportation experts to begin making recommendations for consideration.
Officials said the task force will begin this month and have recommendations for the superintendent to review in September, prior to the open enrollment period.

This set of six (6) sterling silver strawberry forks is lovely. The manufacturer is Towle and the pattern name is "Canterbury". This particular pattern was introduced in 1893.
I am very impressed with the overall condition of all 6 forks. Each fork still retains its original gold wash.
The stamps on the back of each fork read as follows: "Sterling – 925/1000 – Towle logo – Copy Righted". There is also a stamp which reads: "C.F. Hurd". This set of forks came to me in a sterling silver sleeve which reads: "William Wise & Co., Brooklyn, NY".
The forks are 5" long X 1/2" wide. The condition of the forks is very good, circa 1900.

From the Sidelines by Keith Champion…Continue
Posted on December 3, 2011 at 8:13am — 1 Comment
Hi Keith,
I hope you have had a great summer and a good start to the new school year. I was wondering if you might consider something for me. To help meet some of CSPN's financial needs and future goals I have committed to run in the Fox Cities Marathon on September 18, 2011. Can I count on you to help CSPN by donating $ 1 per mile for each mile that I complete in the race? If I complete the entire marathon, that would be a total donation from you of only $ 26. My goal is to get 100 members to contribute to CSPN in this way. Remember that any donation made to CSPN is tax-deductible. E-mail me today at firstname.lastname@example.com to confirm your commitment to CSPN for this project. Thank you in advance for your contribution.
I hope you will join the CSPN Coaches March Madness Bracket Challenge sponsored by CSPN. While you are at it, invite a coaching friend to join CSPN and participate in the bracket challenge with us. There is no better way to enjoy the madness than to fellowship with other coaches and friends while doing it. There will also be some great prizes to win. Thanks for being involved with CSPN. God bless.
The Victory is His,
I Chron. 29:11-13
Always great to keep in touch with you. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I try to keep up with your team every now and then. Thanks for being involved with CSPN. God bless.
The Victory is His,

LEXINGTON, KY. — Captain Munnerlyn made some big mistakes Saturday, only to respond with bigger plays while almost single-handedly keeping South Carolina close to Kentucky early in a 24-17 victory.
Munnerlyn's 84-yard kickoff return set up the Gamecocks' first touchdown. Then the junior cornerback scored on an 81-yard return of a blocked field goal.
It was more than enough to take the sting out of a pair of fumbles on punt returns, both of which South Carolina recovered.
"That's the way it is," defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson said, "when you've got a player like that and you ask him to be a punt returner, you ask him to be a kick returner, you ask him to do all those things and then he's playing defensive back. Captain was on the way to playing one of those 90-play games, and exhaustion can be a factor, too."
Chris Smelley hit Kenny McKinley with a 16-yard touchdown pass immediately after Munnerlyn's kick return. The long dash following a Jordin Lindsey block of Ryan Tydlacka's 21-yard field goal attempt gave South Carolina a 14-7 lead with 13:36 left in the second quarter.
"It was a great thing that (Lindsey) blocked it and that I was there to pick it up and score," Munnerlyn said.
"We said earlier in the week that the game would be won on special teams. They have a great defense and we have a great defense, and coach (Ellis) Johnson told us to out-play their defense, and I feel like we definitely did."
Added Lindsey: "I'm glad he picked up the ball; I don't think I could've gone 90 (yards)."
Succop's 'ab-libbing' it
USC special teams coach Ray Rychleski was kicking himself after the game for sending Ryan Succop out to kick Saturday. Succop sat out practice Tuesday and Wednesday because of an abdominal strain.
Succop missed four of five field goals — as many as he missed in 2006 and 2007, respectively — in Saturday's win here.
Rychleski said, in hindsight, he should have gone with punter Spencer Lanning as the team's kicker.
Succop said he felt the injury during Saturday's game, but he didn't want to use it as an excuse. Spurrier said the missed kicks are like missed putts in golf: They both get in your head.
"You do the same things (on every kick), stick to your routine," Succop said. "I just had a bad day."
He missed from 50, 51, 40 and 39 yards. His one hit, from 42 early in the fourth quarter, did tie the game.
Succop said he couldn't even remember missing four field goals in a game at any level.
A real stinker
Like Succop, admittedly, it wasn't Smelley's day. Some drops didn't help his cause, but the sophomore certainly didn't follow up on his SEC offensive player of the week performance at Ole Miss.
He ended up 9-for-23 for 105 yards, with a touchdown, two interceptions and a fumble — before getting yanked in the third quarter.
"There's no one to blame but myself for the way I played," Smelley said. "Definitely put the blame on me."
McKinley sets record
It wasn't how McKinley had drawn up his record-breaking reception. He hauled in a 9-yard pass to go past Sterling Sharpe's school record of 169 catches. And then he fumbled the ball to Kentucky.
"I've got to have better ball security," McKinley said. "(The record) means a lot. It's a dream come true."
Still, McKinley, in his second game back from a hamstring injury, finished the day with a team-high seven catches for 88 yards and a score. McKinley said afterward his hamstring was "95 percent."
Lordy, Jordy
With a half-sack and the blocked field goal, Lindsey had a big-play day for the USC defense. Not bad for a cat on his 10th life, seems like.
"He makes a lot of plays, Jordy does," Spurrier said. "We're glad he came back for that fifth-year. ... I told (him), 'I'm glad you hung around after you flunked out and got your academics together.' "
Extra points
Vanderbilt's loss at Mississippi State means next week's LSU game will be a 7:45 p.m. kickoff on ESPN. ... South Carolina ran its version of the "Wild Rebel" formation, with Bobby Wallace at quarterback and Smelley out wide. But the play, called "Cocky Right" went for no gain. USC managed just 74 rushing yards, but that was 8 more than Kentucky had. ... USC reported no injuries after the game, although Jared Cook (foot) was limping noticeably.

No one showed up in March when the St. Andrews Public Service District was ready to discuss a controversial proposed new fee, but citizens will get another chance to comment Monday.
Public hearing
What: Public Hearing on the Proposed Ordinance for Motor Vehicle Service Fee or "crash tax."
Where: St. Andrew Public Service District, 1775 Ashley River Road, Charleston
When: 5:45 p.m. Monday
Contact: 556-6310
The commission will hold a public hearing before their regular meeting to discuss the proposed ordinance for a Motor Vehicle Service Fee, also known as a "crash tax." They could vote on the fee at the meeting after the hearing, said district manager Christie Holderness.
The ordinance would allow St. Andrews to charge for responding to motor vehicle accidents. The cost is estimated to range from a few hundred dollars to more than a thousand.
The move is necessary because the district's call volume has increased from fewer than 1,000 calls in 2009 to almost 5,300 in 2013 due to a mutual-aid agreement with Charleston, North Charleston, James Island and St. John's Fire District. In 2012 the departments entered into a formal agreement that would call for them to be simultaneously dispatched to help with fires and other emergencies.
Insurance industry representatives said such a fee typically isn't covered under an auto policy.
"There may not be coverage for accident response, unless the expense can be considered property damage or bodily injury," said Russ Dubisky, executive director of the S.C. Insurance News Service. "It cannot be assumed that all of these costs will be borne by insurers."
The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America called the ordinance "misguided" and "a form of double taxation" because the services are already funded through property and other local taxes.
"With tight budgets, it's understandable that local officials are looking for ways to increase revenue, but charging an additional fee for emergency services following an accident is not the answer," said Oyango Snell, Property Casualty Insurer's regional manager. "Several nearby states have laws in place to stop local governments from charging accident response fees because it's unfair to the consumer and sends the message to visitors they are not welcome. Additionally, the fee could ultimately force the cost of insurance to increase. There is some concern that charging nonresidents also could result in retaliatory fees from neighboring governments.
"As local government examines this issue we hope they will realize the crash tax just adds insult to injury by victimizing drivers twice: once by being in an unfortunate accident and then getting hit again with a fee," Snell said.
More than two dozen jurisdictions or departments in the state already have the fee in place. Locally, Dorchester County has considered the fee and in February sent the issue to committee. It is not on agendas for this week's meetings.
St. Andrews has discussed the proposed ordinance since August. It was deferred in January for legal advice and the commission did not meet in February. In March, although no one showed up to speak at the meeting, the commission tabled the issue.
"We'd like to have people show up and give us their opinion," commission chairman Charlie Ledford said at the time. "Nobody showed up."

I may not have had what most would consider a typical life growing up as a kid, but it was a pretty good way to grow up, full of adventures and life lessons. Living on a ranch, miles from town, denies some experiences, but affords many others.
In winter, I used to figure that every kid would just get up and jump in the car with their mother to go check her coyote traps lined out throughout the neighborhood. I realize now that wasn't every kid's weekend morning.
Mom's talents were pretty varied — artist, musician, writer, rancher ... and darn good hunter and trapper. She taught me a little of every one of those skills, too. She helped me sketch, drove me to piano lessons, encouraged my writing and ranching, and taught me how to set a trap for a coyote, catch a mink and harvest a slough full of muskrats.
Growing up on the Mouse River, north of Towner, N.D., during the Depression, Mom knew that a successful trapline was one way to supplement the income on a small farm, and protect the chickens at the same time. She carried her trapping skills and affection for the outdoors with her after she married Dad and moved away from the river, out onto the prairie.
In the late 1970s it was a good side income for the ranch, too. Dad took a lot of pride in caring for the furs and getting them ready to sell. The prime coyotes averaged $100 each, one winter, back in those days.
Markets went down, but I still got $50 for the first coyote I caught when I was 12-years-old. I caught plenty of muskrat and beaver down on the lakes of our hay meadow, too, to give me a little spending money. While I was checking traps, I developed the lifelong healthy habit of cross country skiing and snowshoeing, my main means of transportation from our house to the meadow.
I think of these things because I just spent a few days hosting my 13-year-old nephew who loves every moment he can spend hunting, fishing or trapping. I'm glad to help foster his affection for these things that get kids out of the house, away from the video games, moving their bodies and burning some calories.
It's been a good three days together. I introduced him to snowshoeing, and carrying a pack basket on his back as we ran a line of muskrat traps. My own two boys came along and enjoyed the activity and the time with their "big" cousin. "Don't forget to wake me up to go muskratting," my 6-year-old warned me as I tucked him into bed.
Now, I know fur trapping is a controversial topic, and I respect everyone's feelings on it. We live pretty close to nature here on the ranch and we share a respect for our animal brothers and sisters, similar to what I've learned from Native American friends. We are all related.
Neither Mom nor I ever aimed to eradicate a single animal from the ranch with our trapping, and we haven't. There's a deep respect for the animals we pursue, and we're prayerful in our pursuit of them for meat or fur. Like raising our own beef, or growing our own garden, it's a natural activity we partake in.
My uncle, an outdoor mentor to myself and countless others, has a bumper sticker on his pickup that seems apt. "Kids who hunt, trap and fish, don't mug little old ladies," it says. Sure, it's a generalization, but it was true for him, and my mom, and me, and many others I know.
Maybe it isn't the actual hunting or trapping that keeps some kids on the straight and narrow, but it could well be the hours of time spent with a responsible adult, in the outdoors, doing something that challenges both mind and body with a spiritual awareness.
And, if it's hunting, trapping or fishing, done respectfully and mindfully, that brings all that together, well, for me, those are traditions worth passing on. ❖

Is finding love online easier if you're rich?
|Email Print
It's fair to say America is obsessed with "gold diggers." From Anna Nicole Smith to Kevin Federline to whoever Kanye was rapping about on his triple-platinum single, we have a long tradition of assuming that having enough money attracts members of the opposite sex like, well, miners to the Yukon.
But does having money really help attract a mate? We conducted a little online dating experiment to find out.
The experiment
Using a picture of me and one of my wife Meagan, we created four online dating profiles on OKCupid, two for a man and two for a woman and kept them essentially identical — same picture, same taste in movies and music, etc. The one thing we changed: out of each duo, one had plenty of signals in their profile they were wealthy, the other didn't.
If the profiles look bland, it's because they're meant to be. We wanted to make profiles that were as broadly acceptable as possible, so we could test the effect of the wealthy/nonwealthy variable clearly.
After trying to set the profiles up in New York and having them deleted as spam (perhaps because they were created from our Florida IP address), we eventually set the locations for the rich guy and gal to Miami and the regular guy and gal to Tampa-St. Petersburg. While it would have been great to do them in the same city, we didn't want to arouse suspicion by having multiple profiles with the same pictures.
After a week, we tallied up the number of profile views and messages to gauge interest in the fictional personas.
What we learned
The first thing we learned was that my wife is objectively much more attractive than I am (happy Valentine's Day, honey). The female personas with her picture attached absolutely demolished the male personas in terms of both visits and messages.
The other thing we learned was that, at least in this admittedly informal experiment, there were mixed benefits to having a profile that explicitly reflected wealth when it came to catching the interest of the opposite sex.
Because the level of wealth of the personas might not be obvious just from looking at their name and picture, the metric we used to gauge interest was messages per visit.
Among the guys, despite listing an income of $150,000-$250,000, MikeMoola the hedge fund manager got just .09 messages per visit, compared to .15 messages per visit for Bucsfanjeff the retail sales associate, listed at $30,000-$40,000 a year in income.
Interestingly, among the gals, asset manager NickiGreenback did get substantially more interest than coffee-shop barista EmilyCat84. For every visitor to her profile, avowed career woman Nicki got .40 messages; Emily got only .20.
That's surprising given both perceptions in our society about what men and women look for in a mate, and some of the scientific research out there.
What science says
There's a substantial amount of research suggesting that access to resources (e.g. money, food, shelter) and the ability to signal to the opposite sex that you have that access can give people, especially men, an advantage when it comes to attracting a mate.
The thinking goes like this: Because women are responsible for bearing and caring for children, they are hardwired to seek out a mate that can provide protection and resources they need to keep those children safe and fed.
"Evolutionary psychologists hypothesize women possess specially-designed long-term mate preferences for cues to a man's ability and willingness to devote resources to her and their offspring," says David Schmitt, professor of psychology at Bradley University. "Such cues include a man's status and prestige which, depending on culture, may involve hunting ability, physical strength, or other locally-relevant attributes, as well as his ambition and work ethic, intelligence and social dominance, and slightly older age."
On the other hand, there's a consensus among evolutionary psychologists that male attraction is more driven by physical traits that suggest a woman would have a long and successful period of childbearing ahead of her, Schmitt says.
"Ancestral males may have evolved preferences for cues to youth, health, and genetic quality as these provide useful signals of a woman's fertility status," Schmitt says.
Those features may include neotonous, or "young-looking," facial features such as full lips, clear skin, good muscle tone and wide eyes. It may also include facial and body symmetry, which may be a visual indicator of low genetic mutation.
All of this would seem to suggest that what we typically think of as "gold digging" — young, attractive women pairing with older, resource-laden men — would be pretty consistent with our genetic programming.
A complicated picture
There's another instinct at work here that can't be discounted, called "assortative mating."
"Human mating is really typified by assortative mating — like seeks like," says Casey Klofstad, a professor of political science at the University of Miami.
Klofstad, along with Rindy Anderson of Duke University, did their own, much larger, analysis of online dating profiles between 2009 and 2010.
Consistent with other research, they found that women were generally more likely to be "resource-seeking" than men, listing income preferences at higher rates than men did in their online dating profiles.
But contrary to the stereotype of gold digging — financially strapped women seeking men with resources to help them out — they found that a woman's need for resources didn't really affect how likely they were to seek out a partner with money. Instead, they found that this search for high-earning males was a form of assortative behavior — women with higher incomes were more likely in general to seek out mates with higher incomes.
"People will seek out partners who share their income," Klofstad says. "And that could be because people want to seek out people who are like themselves, or it could just be that if you're of a higher socioeconomic status, you tend to associate with people of a higher socioeconomic status."
Furthermore, income was just one of many factors influencing people's choice of dating partners. In fact, religion and political preference may be just as important, if not more important, in who people choose to date, Klofstad says.
"It's not to say that income is the primary driver of our mating preferences, but it's part of the puzzle, and it's part of the larger puzzle of 'like seeks like,'" Klofstad says.
So why did our dating experiment turn out to be so out of step with the current state of research? After all, the men who perused NickiGreenback's profile didn't seem to be indifferent to her financial status, and the women who took a look at MikeMoola's profile didn't care enough about "resource-seeking" to send him a message.
Well, being that it was a one-off, rather than a whole series of experiments, the sample size is extremely small. Our little gang of made-up profiles could well be outliers, and with a little more experimentation, it's possible we would have seen results more in line with the current state of research. It's also possible that the online daters who saw our profiles smelled a rat and thought we would end up trying to sell them male enhancement/weight loss pills/acai berries.
But I'll chalk the strangeness of our results up to the fact that, as Klofstad said, human attraction is more complex than a set of general principles, and wealth is just one part of a much larger equation.please add your thoughts now! }

Week 13 – The Crystal Ball Says
Femmefans and football fans we are fast approaching the end of the regular season.
With only 5 games left for 30 teams (4 for the Saints and the Falcons), this week's slate has important playoff implications.
I am making my bold "The Crystal Ball Says" week 13 picks below. I am also providing links (below) to picks made by Barabara Bruno, Huffington Post and the ESPN Experts.
Enjoy week 13 and check back next week for another installment of "The Crystal Ball Says".
Week 13 Picks
Niners at Rams
Pick Niners.
This will be Kap's third game as the starter. He rallied the Niners when the Rams played at Candlestick in his first role as the back-up. Now he has to face them in St. Louis. The Niners are missing running back Kendall Hunter and wide receiver Kyle Wiliams, these players were importnat contributors to the team.. The Rams have nothing to lose and will be coming after The Kid.
This game is huge for the Niners. They need to stay ahead of the other NFC contenders in order to secure the second seed in the NFC. I think this will be a close game and Kap will need to show just how special he is. I think he is special and will find a way to pull this game out at the end.
Browns at Raiders
Pick Browns
The Browns are improving, the Raiders are getting worse.
Seahawks at Bears
Pick Bears
The Seahawks are in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Bears have the Packers chasing them. Lots on the line for both teams in this game. The Seahawks are a talented team and Russell Wilson has been excellent, but home field advantage will prove too much for the Seahawks.
Vikings at Packers
Pick Packers
Another game with playoff implications. The Packers were early season favorites, but have had to deal with injuries and a less than stellar defensive effort.
They won't let the Vikings beat them at Lambeau.
Panthers at Chiefs
Pick Panthers
The Chiefs have the worst record in the league at 1-10. The Panthers are not much better at 3-8. But the Panthers have shown heart and Cam Newton is still a play maker.
Texans at Titans
Pick Texans
Houston is arguably the most balanced AFC team. With a record of 10-1 they sit atop their division and are ranked number one in the Playoffs.
Cardinals at Jets
Pick Jets
The Cardinals are the tonic for what ails the Jets. The Cardinals quarterback situation is ridiculous. The Jets quarterback situation is tenuous. Not much more to say about these teams.
Colts at Lions
Pick Colts
The Lions have been a real disappointment this season with a 4-7 record. It's hard to understand why they aren't playing well. Same quarterback, same coach, same wide receiver. The Colts on the other hand are winning games with Andrew Luck and have a shot at the playoffs.
Jaguars at Bills
Pick Bills
Two underachieving teams, Jags at 2-9 and the Bills at 4-7, they are at the bottom of their divisions with no shot at the post season. Home field goes to the Bills.
Patriots at Dolphins
Pick Dolphins – Upset
I'm calling an upset here. The Patriots are the better team and they have Brady. But I think the Dolphins are getting better and their defense will win the game.
Tampa Bay at Denver
Pick Tampa Bay – Upset
Another upset. The Bucs are a very physical team and will disrupt Manning's timing.
Bengals at Chargers
Pick Bengals
The Chargers are floundering. What has happened to this perennial winner? Philip Rivers where are you? Norv Turner is on the hot seat (as he should be) and players are waiting until the season ends.
Steelers at Ravens
Pick Ravens
No Ben, no Polamalu, no chance.
Eagles at Cowboys
Pick Cowboys
The Eagles have crashed and burned. They may put up a fight against their division rivals, but the Cowboys are still looking to get into the playoffs while the Eagles are looking for a new coach and a new beginning.
Monday Night Football
Giants at Redskins
Pick Redskins - Upset
The Giants are 2 1/2 point favorites in this road game. As good as the G-Men looked last week they still seem to be vulnerable in their division and Shanahan and RGIII are going to exploit their weaknesses.
Thursday Night Football
Denver at Raiders
Pick – Denver
ESPN's NFL Expert Picks

John Dudley: Strength vs. strength highlights this Super Bowl matchup
Things I think...
- I think it's risky to expect history to dictate how this Super Bowl matchup will unfold.
The Broncos had the NFL's No. 1 offense during the regular season and the Seahawks had the No. 1 defense.
The last time the top-ranked offense and defense met in the Super Bowl was after the 2002 season. The Buccaneers, with the top defense (and 24th-ranked offense), beat Oakland and the league's top-ranked offense 48-21.
The Bucs' point total included three interception return touchdowns.
What that means is, as usual, turnovers are a great equalizer.
- Peyton Manning and the Broncos haven't faced a defense as good as Seattle's this season. Not even close, really.
Denver played three top-15 defenses -- the No. 7 Texans, No. 12 Ravens and No. 14 Titans. The Broncos scored an average of 45.6 points in those games, all lopsided wins.
It's worth noting that none of those teams finished above .500, but that doesn't change the fact that statistically above-average defensive teams enjoyed no advantage whatsoever against the Broncos.
One difference is the Seahawks represent the double-edged challenge of the NFL's stingiest defense, yardage-wise, and it's most ball-hawking. Seattle forced 39 turnovers during the regular season, three more than any other team, plus four more in their two playoff wins.
The Texans, Ravens and Titans all had turnover ratios of zero or worse, and none had more than 25 takeaways.
- One more reason the Seahawks could create problems for Manning: Unlike the Patriots on Sunday, the Seahawks cover very effectively on the back end of the defense without giving up the ability to bring pressure.
Seattle won't be afraid to challenge Manning with blitzes because Pete Carroll trusts cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Byron Maxwell on the outside in man coverage.
- Manning has never had as many weapons as he has this season, and you can argue that no team has ever been more difficult to defend.
This is the first time in Manning's career he's had a 1,000-yard rusher (Knowshon Moreno) and four receivers with at least 700 yards (Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Julius Thomas and Wes Welker).
What's even more amazing -- and what made the Broncos such a challenge to game-plan -- is that all five of those players scored at least 10 touchdowns.
Whether Manning simply elevated the level of the skill players around him or benefitted from one of the deepest offensive lineups ever fielded is debatable.
One approach to defending an offense like the Broncos' is to try to remove a threat and make them beat you with something else. That theory breaks down when there are too many threats to deal with effectively.
That's why, when the Patriots dropped back and tried to cover everyone on Sunday, Manning -- who wasn't sacked and barely pressured -- simply found the one player the Pats lost track of on nearly every snap.
