American Sociological Review, Vol. 11 (February, 1946): 57-66
Overseas Service, American Red Cross
U.S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics
A study of the largest housing project in the United States, Vanport City near Portland, Oregon, was undertaken in the winter of 1943-44 to ascertain why families had been moving out of the project at the rate of 100 a day. Residents, officials and employees, especially the school authorities and teachers, and agencies in Portland were complaining about the high turn over but could not explain it. Even when the rate had become stabilized and only 35 families were leaving per day (in a population of about 9,500 families), the administrative procedures and development of community life still were hindered by constant change of tenants. Such quotations as these, printed in a Portland newspaper in June 1944, obtained from people leaving the Project, had been repeated for some time in Vanport itself,
"We've got lonesome out here. We've been away from the farm and kin folks for so long we can't stand it any more."
"Living out here costs too much. We haven't anything left from the paycheck at the end of the week. It's too hard to get around with these crowded busses."
"A crowded place like this is no place in which to bring up a family."
"It rains all the time..."
"You can't get any sleep in our place here...."
"My husband has got to go into the Army soon and we want to go back to our old town and visit first before he goes."
Even such random quotations show three major categories of reasons for moving: (1) dissatisfaction with the project; (2) dissatisfaction with the area; and (3) change in family situation. Which of these three affected the most residents and which affected residents most intensely?
In an attempt to get all the reasons for migration and the relative importance of each, a comparison of statements from samplings of three groups was made: officials responsible for the administration, present residents (autumn and winter, 1943), and former residents.
(1) The questioning of the third group, conducted last, was the most thorough and yielded the most complete and probably the most valid answers. A questionnaire was sent to 1,000 families who had moved out of Vanport between September 8, 1943, and January 20, 1944, the thousand constituting approximately one-third of those who had left complete addresses in that period. They were selected by taking every third name on the list of former residents, with an addition of 87 names selected at random to make up an even thousand.
The questionnaire contained four parts:
I. Check-list of characteristics of Vanport that residents might dislike, divided into two lists, Housing (heating system, cookstove, lack of telephones, etc.) and Community (unpleasant neighbors, general illness in Vanport, shopping facilities, etc.)
II. Questions on personal background: reason for coming to area, former occupation permanent home, original plans for remaining, reason for leaving.
III. Questions to elicit attitudes toward school system, extended service for out-of-school hours, recreation, Portland people. (Section inserted at special request of Superintendent of Schools.)
IV. Request for remarks.
It had been expected that, at the most, no more than 20 per cent of the questionnaires would be returned. Post offices returned 187; of the remainder which supposedly were all received, slightly more than one-third were answered. This unexpectedly high return possibly indicates that recently-departed tenants had strong opinions and feelings toward the project. In any case, the showed interest.
The showed interest further by their initiative in making comments and suggestions. Fifty-five per cent of the questionnaires included volunteered remarks. Obvious difficulty for some in spelling, grammar and penmanship did not deter them.
(2) Sixteen "present residents" were interviewed principally to obtain the range of complaints so that the check-list of the mailed questionnaire could be made. The residents were not selected statistically and there was no intention of treating their replies statistically. Despite the small number of interviews and somewhat haphazard method of their choosing, these people suggested all complaints on housing and community facilities-such as poor cookstoves and inadequate shopping centers-that later appeared as the top 10 complaints in these two categories in the questionnaire survey. On disagreeable social factors, however, they did poorly, perhaps because they were less willing or less able to talk about Vanport people while still living on the project or when meeting the questioner face to face.
(3) Opinions of eight Vanport officials in positions of administrative policy-making, on deficiencies and problems of the project and also their explanations of the turnover rate, were obtained from interviews and from public statements made in printed articles and at public meetings. In listing and appraising complaints they had two sources of information that others lacked.
1) More or less formal complaints by tenants.
2) The stated reasons for moving from Vanport which residents were asked to submit upon leaving.
However, it was found that tenants did not express themselves so honestly or fully to the officials as they did when their identity was concealed.
The mere statement that Vanport City was a temporary war housing project consisting of multiple-unit frame buildings does not tell what the residents were complaining about, since there has been variation in housing projects. Vanport was structurally quite different from most public war housing, having been built by the Maritime Commission. Therefore, we must see what sort of place Vanport was.
Vanport City, the second largest "city" in Oregon, was built and occupied in about 11 months. The order to proceed was issued on September 14, 1942; the first families moved in December 14 of the same year; and, except for 1,000 apartments which did not yet have furniture, the project was completely filled by the end of August 1943. (This study was begun two months later.) The Vanport school system, federally financed and administered, had opened seven schools for 4,000 elementary school children in April 1943. Vanport contained 718 two story frame apartment buildings, built in groups of four around a utility building. All were the same light green, although the monotony was relieved somewhat by a few curving and diagonal streets. Each building housed usually 14 families, in one, two, or three-room flats, and a very few four-room flats. The total number and rental of each type was as follows:
|Total number
|Rent per apartment week
Vanport was full and had a waiting list until the spring of 1944. At the time of this study it was occupied only by shipyard and the other races were accepted as residents although the number of non-whites was restricted. Especially in the early days two men-but never two girls-were allowed to occupy a "single." Most occupants, however, were families.
The utility building in the center of each block of four apartment buildings contained the laundry facilities, with two electric washing machines for 56 families, and the heating unit supplying hot-air heat and hot water to the apartments. Neither of the last two was provided at night, a hardship for people going off swing and on graveyard shifts. There were no telephones. The apartments were supposed to be fireproof and the walls were found to be so, but not the ceilings. Also ventilation holes from one apartment to another facilitated the spread of noise at all times and of fire occasionally.
Furniture and blankets were provided, but not other furnishings. The cookstove, in the combined living-room and kitchenette, was a "rangette" with two electric plates and a small oven. There was no refrigeration except a cupboard for ice. It must be remembered that this was temporary war housing and that building and furnishing materials, especially those made of metal, were hard to get. Nevertheless, people missed facilities that they were accustomed to or had expected to receive from a government project. For example, they complained about such regulations as the provision of only one key for a family and the charge of $1.25 of unlocking a door when the key was lost or forgotten.
Although transportation and mail service had been poor until May, 1943, they were much improved by autumn. But Vanport remained muddy throughout its first year of occupancy, having been built on a newly reclaimed swamp. In regard to most community facilities, Vanport was inadequately supplied for nearly two years and never acquired some of the typical elements of a community of 38,000 people, for example, a newspaper. At the time of this study (winter of 1943-44), the project, had only two shopping centers, operated as concessions with a limited range of goods, one post office, one cafeteria and a lunch counter, one motion picture theater, and a library. There were no skating rinks, bowling alleys, taverns, or other privately financed recreation and eating places, except the movie house. There were 5 public recreation buildings with excellent facilities. No church buildings were provided, but all denominations were allowed to use the school buildings for meetings.
As there was no high school, boys and girls were transported to Portland to attend high school. The elementary schools, with 270 teachers handling 2,000 children modern specialized equipment in classrooms, clinics, and cafeterias. To help the working mothers, the four nursery schools, with an enrollment of 900, were open from 5:45 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. seven days a week. Later, they gave 24-hour-a-day service. All meals could be provided the youngsters if mothers paid the small fees. Also, on the same basis, their children of school age could be cared for by the Extended Service which provided outside of school hours a service like that of the nursery schools. Although 500 children were cared for by the Extended Service, there still were hundreds of children on the project unattended while parents worked or slept on the day or swing shift. A later study of the East Vanport project, 52 per cent of whose tenants came form the older Vanport, showed that 45 per cent of the mothers were working out of the home. Undoubtedly, the same per cent of Vanport women, or more, also worked.
The hospital was run privately under the administration of the Oregon Physicians' Service, a group prepayment program sponsored by the Oregon Medial Society. A patient could pay for each service separately or could pay for each service separately or could have medical and hospital coverage by prepayment of 60 cents a week. For most of the first year, patients had to prove ability to pay before being admitted to the hospital. The County Public Health and Welfare Departments expanded their service to include Vanport. At first these two, with the Sheriff's Office, had to handle all welfare problems. Vanport was outside the corporate limits of Portland and was itself unincorporated.
Organizations started slowly within Vanport itself. Informal groups and their activities, such as the parties of teen-agers and the "sings" of men from the southern hills, developed here and there on the project within a few natural interest groups. However, at the same time the Recreation Department and the Project Services Department were having great difficulty starting neighborhood councils and clubs. The councils were intended to be representative planning and advisory groups and leaders in neighborhood activities. As there was no formal council members and as most of the residents did not know about the councils and did not seem to think of Vanport as a real community anyway, it was nearly impossible to initiate them. (However, by the third year of project life they were fairly well organized.) Residents regarded Vanport life as temporary and Vanport administration as a large furnished-apartment rental agency, and in most respects the management functioned as one, although it must be noted that its 800 employees worked not only in such departments as Maintenance, Accounting and Property but also in the Fire Department, Project Services and other public service jobs.
Compilation of social statistics on the tenants, made by the project administration, was not complete when the writers' original report on causes of turnover was made. Since the winter of 1943-44, survey work at both Vanport and East Vanport has shown that these projects have had a population of young people, with very few dependent elderly people (left at home in Nebraska), and the white workers had been skilled workers, operatives, foremen and non-farm laborers, although many did come form smaller towns and villages, while the Negroes had been non-farm laborers, a few were farmers.
The residents came from every state and from Alaska, but mainly from the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain states and the Midwest, including the southern plains states of Oklahoma and Texas. The three principal reasons for their coming to the Portland-Vancouver shipyards, according to answers on the mailed questionnaires, were, in this order, (1) they thought it their duty to go into defense work (2) they thought they would like such a job better than the old one, and (3) they sought higher wages. Only 37 per cent of the 232 answering this question said that they had been recruited by shipyard representatives. Of these, 36 per cent (or 40 families) said they had been disappointed in the housing, which had been one of the recruiting arguments. Probably this is not a significantly high proportion under war circumstances.
There was supposed to be no segregation of races at Vanport. However, Negro families were assigned only to certain apartment buildings grouped in three sections of the project, and separate waiting lists and rental files for Negroes and whites were maintained, a policy which was not openly admitted by the Housing Authority for many months. There was, however, no segregation in public places. Not only were the two races allowed to use the recreation buildings and attend school together, but the school system hired two Negro women to teach mixed classes and a Negro assistant librarian.
The Superintendent of Schools said that he gave three answers to people from the south who objected to non-segregation in the schools: "You are now in the north, and you cannot expect to impose southern tradition on the northerners." "You do not actively protest against working with Negroes in the shipyards," "In the south, you trust the care of your children to Negro women," implying that the Vanport association with Negroes could not be any closer than that.
In the autumn of 1943, about seven per cent of the apartment buildings were occupied by Negroes. "Discrimination" appeared in the complaints of the Negroes and "non-segregation" in the complaints of the whites. Nevertheless, although there were occasionally harsh words between the races, there was never between them.
Another kind of non-segregation sometimes bothered the residents, namely, the mixing of the work shifts. Both men and women worked on each of the three shifts, hence some people were at home trying to sleep on each of the three. Since families were not grouped according to shift and in many cases could not be effectively segregated, with various members of the same family working differently shifts, there was almost constant noise day and night in all neighborhoods.
Vanport residents as a group gave the impression of being small town and rural people. At any rate, Portland people regarded them as poor farm people, no matter where they were from; and a social stigma came to be associated with Vanport and its residents. The high school students, for example, claimed that they definitely felt the stigma in the Portland high schools that they attended. Even some of the other war housing projects rated higher socially than Vanport. Now let us see how the Vanport people reacted to such surroundings.
The replies to the questionnaire have most interest in two contexts: former residents' complaints against Vanport compared with the officials' ideas about such complaints; and the complaints compared with actual reasons for moving from the project. In other words, did people really leave Vanport because of the inadequacies or disagreeable features that they often criticized or for reasons having nothing to do with the project? And, did the officials really know why residents were moving out?
In table 1 are the complaints against the housing, with some indication of the intensity of disapproval. Without considering the strength of each complaint but taking only the relative number of people who checked each one, we find that they appear in this order: cookstove (many women must have filled out these questionnaires), fear of fire, provision of heat, mud, cost of living, laundry facilities, and so on down through less critical complaints.
|Per Cent

|8 Bugs, fleas, rats, roaches

|9 Furniture
|Unattractiveness of Vanport
|10 Unattractiveness of Vanport
|Bugs, fleas, rats, roaches
Even though respondents had a longer list of complaints about the Vanport community and its location than about its housing from which to choose, they agreed on a few items with surprising frequency. In 279 replies, the complaints appear in this order, without regard to intensity: Negroes and whites in same neighborhood (144), shopping facilities (105), noise (101), children bothering one (99), discrimination against Vanport people by Portlanders (82), and Negroes and whites in same school (68). Transportation fear of theft, climate, and other elements of Vanport life appeared next with about equal frequency. Table 2 shows the replies in detail.
Even in making their own suggestions for improvement, the respondents showed the same emphases, although the exact position of any item on the check-list in Part I of the questionnaire did not seem to influence people's response to it, either in marking the list or in citing the same item among suggested changes at Vanport. The items are now familiar:
segregation of Negroes (29);
more heat or better regulated heat (21);
segregation of shifts (19);
more control of children (18);
better cooking facilities (15);
improvement in Project administration (14);
additional shopping centers (11);
and down through a long list of suggestions to, among others, "representative government" and "more and wider sidewalks," two each, and "more churches," and "better milk delivery," one each.
That the social organization of a typical community was not expected, was in fact on a par with a small irritation over milk delivery, and that the criticisms were concentrated on the practical necessities of daily living comes undoubtedly from the special wartime temporary character of the population and the project. Among the interviewed residents appeared expressions of instability and dissatisfaction because of the disruption of family life and change in status, felt in the "Vanport stigma." They had a feeling that there was no time for organizations, and they simply had no desire for organizations in Vanport. They were homesick; felt that they were living temporarily, day to day; and wanted only to "finish the job and go home." A few felt that Vanport was all right, "as good as could be expected"; and a very few enjoyed life there.
Such were the attitudes and complaints; but which ones actually influenced people to move from Vanport? the two principal reasons for moving, in terms of number of families, had nothing whatever to do with the project and the third probably had little to do with it. They were (1) entry of the head of the family into the armed forces, (2) conditions of the job, and (3) illness in the family. (This refers to illness of the family at Vanport; illness at the old home was listed separately.) The fifteen most numerous "reasons" for leaving are listed in table 3. If all "illness" entries were combined, this would be by the far the most frequent explanation for moving, totaling 72. It cannot be assumed that a claim of sickness was in all cases merely a rationalization to cover up homesickness, trouble on the job or other factors, although such cases probably were common. If even half of the families were rationalizing and the other half answering factually, sickness still would be the most important factor. To many people the interesting disclosure of the above list may be that although former residents in their complaints and in their suggestions had reiterated their disapproval because Negro and white races were not segregated, nevertheless, the non-segregation policy of the Housing Authority was the fifth, and of the school system twelfth, in the list of reasons for moving. In other words, there was a difference between talk and action.

The superintendent of schools also pointed out, in an interview several months before the questionnaires were returned, this discrepancy between talk and action. By October 1943, not more than five families had threatened to remove their children from school because of mixed classes. Some time later, he said that two families had refused to send their children to school, an illegal act and treated as such. This small number in an elementary school population of 4,000 should not alarm those fearing open racial antagonism on such a project. Even beyond the time limits of this study, there still had been no violence between the races living at Vanport up to May 1945, at which time the number of Negro residents was nearly double the number in the winter of 1943-44 when the erstwhile residents of Vanport were questioned.
TABLE 3. REASONS FOR DEPARTURE*align="left"
Among the top 10 reasons for moving, the only ones for which the Housing authority could be considered fully responsible were the heating system and the regulation of heat; the cookstove; size of apartment assigned to each family size, amount of cupboard space and other space factors; and the amount of noises. This last could not be entirely the fault of the project planning and administration although the thin walls and other characteristics of the housing were important. There undoubtedly are minimum standards of comfort that most Americans from all parts of the country (especially those who have lived in town) insist upon and which must be recognized in planning, the most important being indoor warmth.
At the same time, the residents were not blameless. Some of the physical unpleasantness of the Project was due to them. Although East Vanport had a full-sized cookstove, individual heating units, more room per family size, and a yard for each family dwelling unit, thus correcting several of the weaknesses in Vanport planning, and although all families were earning quite good wages, nevertheless 90 per cent of the white families and 100 per cent of the Negro families were on the lower half of Chapin's Living Room Scale. That is, they would be rated below lower middle class, in the terminology of the scale. The bad appearance of Vanport and East Vanport apartments was due partly to crowding, the Negroes especially having "boarders," partly out-of-home work by women, and partly to indifference to care of a temporary home, as well as to original standards and social rating. Whatever the "causes," the project housing was not improved by its residents.
Both interviews and questionnaires show that neither administration nor residents had adjusted fully to a three-shift life. The noise, the troubles between neighbors, irritation caused by children, the heating problem (heat and hot water not being provided 24 hours a day), the lack of a 24-hour nursery school (corrected later) were evidence of the conflict between the new nighttime work and the old day-time habits and regulations, and people left the project because of them. They could get along without clubs and churches, but they could not get along without sleep.
What did the officials know and think about the turnover? They had received through the rental department and other sources about the same range of complaints from residents as in the preceding tables. But their explanations of the turnover were more limited:
|Vanport Factors
|Partially Vanport Factors
|Non-Project Factors
|Change of residence to be nearer work
|Actuality of 6-day weekand rumor of 40-hr. week
|Business or harvest at home
|Receipt of furniture that had been en route
The officials overlooked completely the factors, both outside the project and within it, affecting most of the families, except illness; namely, leaving the job to enter the armed services, and the heating system. The cookstove also did not get the attention it deserved.
The greatest divergence of viewpoint from the attitude of residents appeared in the problems which the officials considered important and were trying to solve:
Lack of Vanport newspaper.
Effect of the turnover on development of a representative council.
Irregularity of attendance at Neighborhood Council meetings.
Direction of the socially minded individuals into the right channels.
Effect of the turnover on the morale of the school staff.
One-half day school.
Control of the unorganized gangs of children.
Tenants who skipped without paying their rent.
Adequacy of the washing machines.
Difficulty in obtaining the right coal for the heating system.
Insufficiency of chairs for apartments.
Housekeeping problems resulting in ill-will among neighbors.
Effect of the decreased allotment for the Maintenance Department.
In the first four or five of these, the administrative officers were, rightly, looking beyond current material difficulties which could be handled by administrative action alone, such as the purchase of particular kinds of coal. They were considering elements in the formation of real community, which would require action by both tenants and Housing Authority employees. They did not, however, have any regular channels for reaching the tenants such as weekly project news sheets or information bulletins, and they did not have any definite plan for representative government other than informal Neighborhood Councils which were really discussion groups that people were invited to attend but which had no designated responsibility.
The attitude of most people, whether administrative officers or tenants, seemed to be that Vanport was just a housing project and not a community, although Vanport people were not accepted in the Portland community other than as purchasers of goods and commercial recreation, and there was no other than purchasers of goods and commercial recreation, and there was no other community close enough or large enough to include Vanport City. With a highly concentrated population that contained at its peak close to 40,000 people, Vanport was a social hybrid, with some characteristics of a town, other characteristics of a great disjointed apartment building, and some elements of a camp of migratory construction workers. Some of the weaknesses that both residents and officials recognized were merely expectable transitory elements of a new, hastily-assembled project and of an abnormal, hastily-assembled society. For example, in this "community" of construction workers there were many young adults, apparently too many children for anyone's comfort, and few old people. Also, even though Vanport provided such urban services as a fire department and supervised recreation centers; it was an abnormal town: there could be no property ownership, and no private business could be started without concession and supervision from the Housing Authority.
The interesting question as to what does make a community cannot be discussed here, but the following conclusions touch upon the community question.
1. Most people came to Vanport and many left for reasons not connected with the facilities and reputation of the project. They came because they had secured work in the area, they had to have a place to live and housing was scarce. They left because they had to give up, or wanted to give up, the job and leave the area, or in fewer cases because they found a home that they liked better. In other words, Vanport did not draw them and hold them as an established community attracts and holds people.
2. The residents came to Vanport and left it as separate families, for personal reasons. They had a common feeling, perhaps deceiving themselves a little regarding their motives, that they wanted to work in the shipyards to contribute directly to war production, but still they did not come to found a community.
3. Evidence that the residents while in Vanport also were functioning as separate families, without regard to others there is provided by the interest in personal convenience and comfort, by the frequent complaints against neighbors, and by the weak interest in social organization.
4. At most, residents were interested in the neighborhood, shown by criticism of neighbors and concern over racial segregation in the neighborhood school and playgrounds.
5. Only when face to face with the larger nearby community, Portland, and its indifference and condescension, did residents think of Vanport as a social entity rather than a place to eat and sleep.
6. Each individual complaint against the project may not be serious by itself; but the great volume of complaint is to be taken seriously. The housing was not well planned for family living, even for temporary quarters, and the provisions for social life were made slowly and without fundamental plan.
Although residents would not take the initiative in organizing social life and seldom expressed a need for it, nevertheless the high incidence of "illness" among those who moved away from Vanport makes one suspect that they missed it, illness being the most acceptable cover-up for loneliness or any other unadjustment. Some undoubtedly were organically, rather than functionally, ill; but many simply were unable to adjust to the hurly-burly of the shipyards and of Vanport, the anonymity, restlessness, and disruption of their living habits and living organization.

Brewing has always been surprisingly natural for me. I was raised in a caring family by a father who was a biology teacher and a mother with an ongoing involvement in art. Brewing is a perfect mix of both of these worlds and I'm lucky to have found it.
It can be said that I got my career start in college. I was fortunate enough to have a refrigerator while at college that coincidently poured draught beer from a magical faucet. My two roommates also happened to be quite the beer lovers and looking back on those years, I got a lot of studying done—in liquid research. I brewed my first homebrew in my kitchen and fermented it in my closet. From that point on, beer became my main focus. This included several course projects involving beer/breweries and a thesis researching microbes found in bottles of microbrewed ale. During college, I was hired by Bristol Brewing Company where I spent ten of the better years of my life.
My partner, Todd Walton, and I met through our passion for beer. During my ten years with Bristol Brewing, he started a small tap house in Manitou Springs named Kin Folks. One thing that we had in common was very apparent; we both love the world's best beers! With that as our inspiration, we founded Trinity Brewing Company in 2008 with a "Triple P" approach toward business: People, Planet and Profit. In that order.
As it's still so fresh in my mind and central to our brewery, I need to mention our build out. We take very seriously the impact not only our running brewery makes on our earth, but also the steps it took to build. During construction, we salvaged two barns, all of the windows along the brew house, all of our equipment (including five sour oak barrels) and my favorite of all, our bar top. We made our entire bar top from bottles of beer we drank while working through the construction phase. If you search through the labels in the bar top, it'll make sense pretty quickly why it's my favorite piece in our pub. Beyond recycled materials, we've also installed waterless urinals and a skylight to further reduce our impact.
The beers I brew at Trinity are focused on a challenge I commit myself to. I strive to create beers that are artistically provocative for a fellow brewer while at the same time very drinkable for a friendly pub goer. That can be a hard line to walk at times, specifically when we brew our Farmhouse Saison. In an effort to revive the true life of the rural Belgian style, we completely change the recipe every time we brew it. Being an American brewer, my beers will always be inspired, but will also always demonstrate my opinion. Cheers!

I'm 1.46 now! haha:P My goal is to catch you up :P
Well, i've experienced a lot before hitting lvl 20, trying to find my gaming style and such, but i did it on my main account... In the last 50 games, the only games i got under 1,5 KDR are two i played with you(and volcarana ) and that cheater guy that i followed to piss him off.
Anyway, What i meant is if you compare with videos online of people using the wii mote, for exemple that video posted on this forum, you clearly see that run and gun with a wiimote is awesome.
I'd like to know how your settings are ! might help me a bit.
I'd like to know if you have your Snap on ? can you take it off? The fact that if you're aiming approximately on someone and then ADS it snaps onto him. Its annoying when theres more than one ennemy...
My style is the following: I either start with a rush, or pick up the sniper for my first life. Try to take out as many with it, then switch to run and gun.
But my run and gun style is different than most people, its a bit hard to explain lol.
Anyway, thanks for letting me know theres hope with the ccp, see ya online!

HIS promises to shake up France's labour force, abolish its 35-hour working week and enact tougher measures on crime and immigration have outraged many of his compatriots.
But now Nicolas Sarkozy has found an unlikely enemy in France's vignerons, who are promising an al Qaeda-style campaign of violence if the new French president does not help the country's struggling wine industry.
The Regional Committee for Viticultural Action (CRAV), a small group of militant winemakers that has in the past riddled a lorry carrying Chilean wine with bullets, is threatening action they say could lead to deaths if Sarkozy reneges on his electoral promise to support their industry.
Last week, a piece of video footage was sent to France's Channel 3 TV station showing five balaclava-clad men, "somewhere in the Languedoc hinterland".
The short video showed the winemakers warning that after one month, if nothing had changed and wine prices continued to rise, they would be forced to go into action.
A spokesman said: "If Sarkozy does not support the interests of the wine industry, he will be entirely responsible for what happens. We are at the point of no return."
With references to the French Resistance and a winemakers' uprising in Montpellier in 1907 CRAV said that its members would: "come out of the maquis [scrub] and go into action; be worthy representatives of the 1907 revolt where several died so that future generations could live by their profession". It added that they would "see to it that our children know what it is to make wine".
CRAV can trace its origins back 100 years, when it was known as the Comit du Salut Viticole. In the 1980s it waged a war against globalisation and the European Union. In recent years the pressure of over-production and competition from New World wines has seen it resort to more extreme action.
Its members have been responsible for blowing up a main railway line between Nimes and Narbonne, as well as vandalising government buildings and a warehouse of imported wines. Last year, they pumped a tanker bringing wine from Spain full of bullet holes and drained the 28,000 litres into the street before setting the vehicle on fire and rioting.
Vehemently opposed to foreign competition, CRAV argues that the French government should guarantee a minimum price for its wines.
But the government is now reducing subsidies to inefficient farmers. Below-standard wine that was before propped up by financial support from Brussels cannot find a market.
Richard Bouglet, a French wine merchant working in Scotland, condemned the organisation, saying: "Some of the winemakers in the south of France are very militant. There is a group that is totally against globalisation, the EU, subsidies and big farms. They argue that these forces threaten regionality.
"They are totally against liberalism and do not want competition as such. They want the price of the grapes to be fixed - it is Marxism in the vineyard. What has hit them is the twin forces of a declining domestic market and the rise of New World competition. Twenty years ago they had the American, British and Scandinavian market sewn up."
The French wine industry employs more than 300,000 people and is worth 3.8bn. For decades it has dominated internationally, but lately it has lost substantial ground in its middle-market wines to the New World. Three years ago a documentary called Tempte Dans Un Verre De Vin - storm in a wine glass - caused outrage in French wine circles because it claimed that not only is the industry in crisis, but it is unimaginative, uncompetitive and has been slow to react to the threat of New World wines.
A few months later, Bordeaux, France's largest fine-wine region, admitted that it was producing far more than it could sell.
The EU ending up paying 97m to the French state to help it eliminate 8% of its vineyards. The move saw more than 18,000 hectares of vines "grubbed up" in some of the country's most prestigious growing areas. A "wine lake" of surplus Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Loire vintages was created, which will be converted into ethanol to power factories.

China lifts PV installation target to 35 GW by 201516. July 2013 | Markets & Trends, Industry & Suppliers, Global PV markets | By: Wenjing Feng
In order to stimulate PV consumption and control industrial overcapacity in the domestic market, China has increased its PV energy target to 35 GW by 2015.
Just one year after announcing an increase in its cumulative 2015 PV target from 15 GW to 21 GW, the Chinese government said it was now raising the goal to 35 GW.
To this end, the country will add approximately 10 GW of PV capacity annually from 2013 through 2015.
China's State Council has continued to support the development of distributed PV installations in the country. To boost the distributed PV market, the country will build 100 distributed PV demonstration zones and 1,000 distributed PV demonstration towns and villages.
The government is also encouraging the expansion of small-scale distributed PV generation, such as residential installations, throughout the country.
In terms of overcapacity control, the new plan includes new manufacturing requirements for photovoltaic modules to expand capacity. The conversion efficiency of monosilicon cells are required to be higher than 20% and conversion efficiency of polysilicon cells are required to be higher than 18%, while conversion efficiency of thin film cells are required to be more than 12% and electricity consumption of polysilicon production will be controlled under 100 kWh/kg.
Under the new plan, the government is also encouraging mergers and acquisitions among the manufactures as a way to speed up a restructuring of the PV industry. Tax breaks will be provided to companies which undergo a merger, acquisition or reorganization.
However, analysts seem to be less convinced. Earlier this year when China announced its 10 GW PV installation target for 2013, Bohua Wang, secretary-general of the China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance, and Wang Hai Sheng, chief analyst at Minsheng Securities, expressed skepticism, pointing out that due to the current market situation, 8 GW was a more likely figure for 2013.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Manager Manny Acta, in watching his pitchers take batting practice before the start of this nine-game interleague trip, said Josh Tomlin looked the most comfortable with a bat in his hand.
Tomlin proved his manager right Tuesday night as he went 2-for-2 with an RBI in the first big-league swings of his career. It's too bad Tomlin's teammates, the guys who get paid to hit, didn't follow his example until it was too late.
Carlos Santana's two-run homer in the ninth off closer J.J. Putz pulled the Indians into a 4-4 tie, but it wasn't enough. Wily Mo Pena retaliated with a two-run walk-off homer against left-hander Tony Sipp in the bottom of the inning for a 6-4 victory.
"Give them credit, they scored four runs against our strength -- the bullpen," said Indians manager Manny Acta.
The Diamondbacks broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth and a 4-4 tie in the ninth against a bullpen that entered the game with the lowest ERA in the American League at 2.99. Indians relievers allowed just two earned runs in their previous 39 2/3 innings.
Rafael Perez started the eighth by giving up a leadoff single to Gerardo Parra. Starter Daniel Hudson advanced him with a sacrifice bunt and Kelly Johnson scored him with a single to right for a 3-2 lead. Joe Smith relieved with two out and gave up an RBI single to Justin Upton for a 4-2 lead.
Sipp (3-1), who got the last out of the eighth, walked Ryan Roberts to start the ninth. He struck out Xavier Nady, but not before Roberts stole second and third base. Willie Bloomquist flied out to shallow right field for the second out, but Pena ended it with his two-out homer to left on a 0-1 pitch.
Acta didn't want to use right-hander Vinnie Pestano against the right-handed hitting Pena because he'd thrown 32 pitches in Monday's 5-4 victory. He said he didn't want to walk Pena, pinch-hitting for winning pitcher Alberto Castillo (1-0), because the next hitter, Kelly Johnson, is "batting over .300 against lefties over the last three years."
Johnson had already homered and singled in the game.
"That was a the matchup we liked right there," said Acta. "Tony is a guy who gets righties and lefties out. Right-handers are hitting .200 against him over the last two years. Unfortunately, it didn't pay off."
Sipp was on his way out of the locker room before reporters were let in. It has not been a good trip for him. On Saturday he balked home the only run in the game in a 1-0 loss to the Giants.
"Swinging the bat was a lot of fun," said Tomlin. "I wasn't trying to do too much. I just tried to go out there and not look like an idiot." It's the first time a Tribe pitcher has had two hits in a game since Sabathia went 2-for-3 against the Reds on June 10, 2007.
Arizona started to work its way back into the game in the fifth. With two out, Parra tripled off the glove of Grady Sizemore in deep center field. Sizemore collided with the wall. He was checked by Acta and a trainer, but stayed in the game.
"It was one of those bang-bang plays," said Sizemore. "I think I should have caught it, but I knew I was going to hit the wall one way or the other. I took a good shot, but I'm OK."
Hudson doubled home Parra to make it 2-1. Tomlin ended the inning by picking off Hudson at second. Hudson's double was no surprise. He came into the game hitting .281 (9-for-32) with six RBI.
Tomlin allowed two runs on five hits in seven innings. He struck out four and didn't walk a batter in 88 pitches. In the first 28 appearances of his big-league career, the right-hander has pitched at least five innings, tying the major-league record set by Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka in 2007.
"It means I'm doing my job," said Talbot. "I feel as a starting pitcher you're supposed to go as deep into the game as much as you can. Being the fourth or fifth guy, my job, is to try and save the bullpen as much as I can. All that tells me is that I was able to do my job for 28 days."
Johnson pulled the Diamondbacks into a 2-2 tie in the sixth with a leadoff homer. It was the 14th homer Tomlin has allowed this year.
"This kid is a good athlete," said Acta, referring to Tomlin. "He does a lot of things to help himself. Tonight he helped himself with the bat."
Tomlin said it's the first time he's hit in a game since he was a junior at Texas Tech, where he pitched and played shortstop and third base.
"I got a bunt down and the ball found the barrel of my bat," said Tomlin.
Hudson and Tomlin were each trying to win their 10th game, but had to settle for well-pitched no-decisions.
"We could see in batting practice that he could be one of those guys who could allow us to do something like bunting and hit-and-run," said Acta.
The Indians took a 1-0 lead in third as Shelley Duncan hit a leadoff double to left. Parra assisted by falling down before fielding the ball. Tomlin advanced Duncan to third with a bunt and in the process recorded his first big-league hit as the ball slithered past Hudson, who came off the mound to field the ball. Duncan scored as Michael Brantley, who entered the game in a 10-for-54 slump, hit into a 4-6-3 double play. It was the first of two double plays Brantley hit into Tuesday.

Creating Larry FitzgeraldPosted by on June 16, 2011 – 4:55 pm
Apropos of nothing, I noticed Larry Fitzgerald re-tweeting this video the other day, and it's fascinating. It's a TV piece run when Fitz was a Pitt sophomore (right before he came out of school) gunning for the Heisman Trophy in 2003 (he finished second behind Oklahoma QB Jason White). More importantly, it traces Fitz's life at the end of high school and for his year in a military prep school because he didn't have the grades to go to college. There's also good stuff of Fitz talking about his mother's (ultimately losing) battle with breast cancer.
Oh, and there are lots of good pictures of Fitz with very short hair, long before the dreads.
Speaking of Fitz with dreads, he is back in Minnesota as usual this time of year working out with various fellow NFLers. Why, just this morning he put out the picture below of this morning's workout partners — including, standing next to Fitz, Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton … wait, what?!? I mean, if Donovan McNabb was coming to the Cardinals just because he happened to work out with Fitz and the Cards at Arizona State, then Orton flying to Minnesota just to be with Fitz must mean …
OK, I can't do it. Orton apparently has known Fitz for a long time and besides, this happens all the time (Greg Jennings has long been a regular with Fitz in Minny; why doesn't anyone peg Jennings as a future Card?). It's probably not a coincidence that Orton's Broncos teammate and one-time University of Minnesota Gopher, receiver Eric Decker, is also in the picture having worked out. Maybe that's the real Orton connection?
Orton's dad is the fourth guy to make it into Fitz's shot, leading to the Tweet of the day by @ScottHoward42: "Based on that Larry Fitzgerald twitpic I now think there's a strong chance Kyle Orton's Dad will be the Cards QB. Thoughts?"

Feeling familiarPosted by on May 19, 2011 – 3:26 pm
While everyone waits for the league year to start — and, at its root, waits for the Cardinals to have a chance to figure out its quarterback situation — the possibilities remain open speculation. Suddenly, it begins to feel very familiar.
In fact, as I read about how NFL Network analyst Michael Lombardi felt about Kevin Kolb during a Sports 620 KTAR interview this morning, and how Kolb has generated a range of believers and non-believers when it comes to his abilities and what it could mean to the Cardinals if there indeed was a trade here, it felt very deja vu. Is Kolb the right guy? What's he worth in a trade? Is what the Eagles want and what the Cards (assuming they'd want Kolb) are willing to give up at least in the same ballpark? Hard to know, given Kolb's relatively short career and seven NFL starts.
This is about more than Kolb, though. So many questions are flying around about Marc Bulger too, and he's got a much longer resume. And Donovan McNabb and Kyle Orton and even Carson Palmer. I realized it reminded me so much of the ramp-up before a draft when it comes to quarterbacks. Obviously, the veterans have played in the league, but this feels a lot like how Blaine Gabbert and Cam Newton and Ryan Mallett, etc., were deconstructed over and over. Such as Sam Bradford last year.
It's the position, of course. It's the position and the importance it carries and, this offseason, its the days of dead time that allows for possible paralysis by analysis. The trade market for a player like Kolb doesn't hurt either; unlike the draft, there is someone on the other side of the equation (the Eagles, in this case) hoping Kolb's value is driven up during all these discussions.
Like the draft, however, it'll be impossible to know what any of these quarterbacks could really do in a different situation until they get to a new place. Until someone gets here to Arizona. The naysayers could be right about Kolb, for instance. But like the draft, that's why a team has scouts. They scout veteran players too. You have to assume, whichever player the Cards chase, they believe he will be successful. Why else get him?

Doing work, just not herePosted by on May 5, 2011 – 5:06 pm
As I noted a few weeks ago, some Cardinals players (and some guys from other teams) continue to work out over at Arizona State trying to stay in shape, with Larry Fitzgerald's power as the Pied Piper in full effect. This week, Donovan McNabb happens to be there, which caused a stir (unfortunately for me). But as you can see in this NFL Network piece (nice catch, Andre Roberts!), the work goes on.
How much it makes a difference won't be known for a while, because everything is up in the air. I'm pretty sure strength and conditioning coach John Lott is counting on guys to be in shape whenever he sees them next.

Warner's pick would be PalmerPosted by on May 3, 2011 – 8:55 am
Former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner appeared on The Dan Patrick Show today and the NFL Network analyst was talking, not surprisingly, about quarterbacks. He spoke about Cam Newton (he'd start him right away in Carolina given the Panthers' QB situation, although he thinks it is better for a rookie to sit) and then was asked about the QB situation here in Arizona.
Warner said he talked to coach Ken Whisenhunt recently and Whiz asked him his opinion on some possible available QBs. Marc Bulger was one, Donovan McNabb was not (shocker!). Then Patrick asked Warner, out of Kevin Kolb, Carson Palmer, McNabb and Bulger, who would Warner's pick be for the Cardinals.
Warner said it would be Palmer (who, again, comes with the caveat that he would have to be acquired in a trade and the Bengals have said they will not trade him). Palmer still is playing at a high level, Warner said, and thought that Palmer fits Whisenhunt's style of offense perfectly. It's an interesting take, especially since the draft weekend rumors seemed to make Palmer's destination Seattle if Palmer was indeed moved.
But until the labor situation is cleared up and the Cards can actually get their hands on a veteran QB, this is the kind of stuff we will be speculating about.

Considering KolbPosted by on February 24, 2011 – 9:50 pm
General manager Rod Graves couldn't talk about it today and realistically, nothing can happen unless/until the new CBA is finalized. But floating around the NFL combine Thursday — not surprisingly — was talk of Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb, and his possible availability on the trade market.
Let's say he is available. What would the cost be? The general feeling here is those teams at the top of the draft — many of whom need a quarterback — probably wouldn't deal a No. 1 pick.
"I'm sure if you asked the Eagles I'm sure (Kolb's value) is really high," NFL Network analyst and former NFL GM Michael Lombardi said. "I think there's so many teams devoid of quarterbacks it creates the market. It only takes two teams and then all of a sudden the player's value isn't the same. Donovan McNabb goes for a second(-round pick) and a fifth. Is Kevin Kolb worth more than that? That would be hard for me to think that based on his tape last year."
The question really is whether the Eagles want to trade him in the first place. Michael Vick is their starter, but he is only franchised right now and thus under control until 2011. Kolb's contract, as we have said many times before, is incredibly affordable in 2011 — except Kolb doesn't want to stay as a backup and he could walk away for nothing after next season.
"He's obviously looking forward to being a good starting quarterback, and a lot could happen," Eagles GM Howie Roseman said.
"We're still evaluating all our options and all our positions. Obviously we've been really fortunate to have good quarterbacks. There's Michael, there's Kevin, and we've got a lot of confidence in Mike Kafka, so that's a position that we're always going to want to be strong at … We don't discuss any (trade) discussions, external or internal."
As for Roseman's assessment for Kolb's trade value? "Everything is just projecting."
True. But right now, that's all we have.

To QB and not QBPosted by on January 12, 2011 – 9:42 am
I made it all the way to January 12.
Obviously, quarterback is going to be a hot topic, probably all offseason. This isn't the last time I am going to address it on the blog. But it will be the entry I link back to – over and over – whenever someone asks me about one of the popular names floating out there, whether it is a current NFL player or a potential draftee.
So expect to see the URL often in the blog comment section.
I don't know who is going to play quarterback for the Cardinals in 2011. I don't know who is going to be on the roster. I don't think they know right now, and they can't. The draft isn't until late-April, and the nitty-gritty talks about who will be available and where they rank on the draft board have yet to occur. Free agency is a little less than two months off, and that's only if there is no work stoppage. If there is a work stoppage, no free agents can sign anywhere until it is resolved. The same will go for trades involving players.
Those are some of the many reasons I have tried to hold out on talking about potential QBs. I didn't last very long. So here goes, with the understanding of my limited knowledge of the college guys relegated to watching them on TV here and there:
Kevin Kolb: Might as well start here. If Kolb doesn't get to start in Philly, he wants to start somewhere else. Ears all over Arizona perked up. But then Andy Reid talked about keeping both Kolb and Michael Vick, and reality sets in. Let's say the Cards want Kolb (and I don't know if they do). Forget about working out a trade for a moment. Why would the Eagles deal Kolb? He is under contract for relative peanuts in 2011 ($1.4M) and for now, Michael Vick isn't under contract at all. Vick might be franchised, or there might not be any tag. Plus Vick got beat up by the end of the season. The Eagles need a backup. Lot of hoops to be jumped before you could ever see Kolb out West (or anywhere besides Philly).
Donovan McNabb: Ahh, my favorite subject. First, he has to be released. If it happens before the lockout, I believe he can be signed. But will that happen? Regardless, I don't see it here. McNabb will have been let loose by two different teams. His play was less than consistent this year (and yes, I know some people don't think he had enough weapons). There are questions about his fitness (the Washington stuff earlier this season wasn't out of the blue), his accuracy and his age. Plus, he's spent almost his entire career in a West Coast offense that doesn't exactly mirror the Cards' offense. I just don't see it.
Marc Bulger (pictured below): He was a candidate this last offseason and is expected to be one again. He followed Kurt Warner once before. He'll be available and he's experienced. These are the plusses. He also hasn't had a good season since 2006, struggling with less talent in St. Louis and declining skills.
Matt Hasselbeck: Why would the Seahawks let him go now? Or might he have made himself that valuable where they can't keep him?
Kyle Orton: Has probably proven himself better than many expected. But the reports are the Broncos want a second-round pick for him. I don't see the Cards doing that, unless they see Orton as a long-term solution (with, for example, Skelton as a backup for now). Would the Cards negotiate a lower pick? I could see that. Again, however, it's a trade, so until there is a new CBA, Orton is a Bronco and in limbo.
Vince Young: Has skills and has been a winner. Also has reputation for not working hard enough at his craft and has proven he doesn't handle adversity well. Not a good combination. I don't see him as a realistic option.
Cam Newton: Was great this past college season – with the operative word being "college." He was just OK in the national championship game. He's not Vick, so you can wipe out most of the running part of his game as it translates to the next level. He's got a ways to go if he is ever going to be a top-flight NFL QB, and I don't see – right now – how you spend the No. 5 overall pick on him.
Ryan Mallett/Blaine Gabbert: Again, I need to see how these guys sort themselves out during workouts/combine, etc. But right now, hard to tell. Gabbert seems more highly regarded than Mallett, but things can always change as the draft approaches. There are also teams ahead of the Cards who will be looking at QB. I'll say this: No one left in the draft is Andrew Luck. And the Cards can't afford to whiff on the No. 5 overall pick.

Friday before the PanthersPosted by on December 17, 2010 – 5:05 pm
We're in the air on the way to Carolina for this edition of "Friday before." Derek Anderson missed a second straight week of practices, so – barring something unforeseen – the Cardinals will have two QBs Sunday: John Skelton, and backup Richard Bartel.
So that leaves who as an emergency quarterback?
Coach Ken Whisenhunt hasn't said. Maybe he'd rather not jinx it. But looking at the guys who could, wide receiver Early Doucet – who has played the spot from the wildcat position once or twice – seems like the guy.
"I think so," Doucet said.
And what does he think about that? Like most non-quarterbacks, the idea of playing the spot in the NFL does bring a smile to his face.
"Obviously you want everyone to stay healthy but if that opportunity did present itself, I am confident enough and played the position all through high school and a couple times in college, so I don't think it'd be something completely new," Doucet said. "It would be fun, but at the same time I'd rather have the quarterbacks stay healthy."
I think it's safe to say the rest of the Cardinals are thinking the same.
— Speaking of quarterbacks …
I'm going to write on Donovan McNabb because, well, I have to. The news came down that not only is McNabb not starting for Washington, he's not even the backup. Yikes. So obviously, he's not going to be in Washington next season (unless the Redskins want to take this mess into 2011, which I can't see why).
So everyone – again – wants to see him in Arizona. They try to connect the dots out there around the NFL. Here's my non-Twitter take: It won't happen. Will I say that 100 percent? No. The veteran list out there this offseason is very, very thin. The Cards still need one. But I will repeat what I have said many times: For the Cards to get him, it means two teams will have given up on McNabb in one year. If that isn't a red flag, I'm not sure what is. The Cards haven't had interest in chasing him before, and I don't think that will change.
— It's been quite the week for kicker Jay Feely, and deservedly so. Yet, as a kicker, he still was taking some good-natured shots this week. Why, I ask. Why? Here was Larry Fitzgerald talking about getting the offense going a little more: "We love for Jay Feely to get points but we need some touchdowns this week." Then there was Panthers coach John Fox, who was asked in the conference call if he might, you know, scheme a little defense for our man Jay. "Our media ask me about that," Fox said. "I told them, 'No offense' but I did giggle."
— You want to see a cool interview, Paul Calvisi sat down with Fitz to watch some video of Fitz's greatest catches after he broke the franchise record for catches. I got a sneak peek and it was worth the time. It'll air on "Maximum Cardinals" Saturday on NBC (Ch. 12) at 4 p.m. If you miss it, it'll be posted on the website Sunday.
— Strange note of the week: Fox is going to use music during Sunday's broadcast of Cards-Panthers, as an experiment. According to the USA Today, it could include popular music, but this weekend will definitely have some original pieces. Kind of like a movie score, I'd guess. I'm a huge fan of movie scores, but not sure it'll work in this setting. We'll see. (Yes, the game will still have announcers).
— Loved this quote from Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who was praising Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith and saying he enjoyed going up against someone that good: "He's a little angry guy and he's going to give you 100 percent."
DRC came out ahead the last time these two saw each other in Charlotte. And the cornerback did have one of his better games last week. Having him finish strong is important.
— OK, that's long enough. See you on the other side. Or at least when we land (love in-flight internet).

On Keith (… OK, and McNabb)Posted by on November 16, 2010 – 5:59 pm
The Cardinals didn't think Brandon Keith was going to end up on IR after he got hurt. The man played through what turned out to be a torn hamstring. But it will be interesting to see how the line does going forward. Keith has had a bumpy first year as starter — coach Ken Whisenhunt acknowledged as much — and I'd guess, even though Whisenhunt said newcomer D'Anthony Batiste will get an RT looksee, that Jeremy Bridges will be the starter.
I know there have been plenty of people wanting Bridges to get a shot and/or Keith to be benched. Well, you get your wish. I'm not sure it changes things significantly. And Whiz made it clear Keith is this team's right tackle for the future.
As for Donovan McNabb, the news about his contract — the true news, the details — came out today with the crucial piece of info that the Redskins owe McNabb only a $3.5 million bonus this year and then another option bonus next offseason. It means the Redskins, if they don't like how McNabb plays the rest of the year, can cut him after the season with no problem. And even if they keep him through 2011 — say, if they draft a young QB and want a bridge guy (sound familiar?) — it still would only cost about $16 million for the two years, very affordable. The contract is also set up so that it's unlikely McNabb stays under the current structure in 2012.
Does that mean he'll be available? Maybe. But remember, if the Redskins dump him, that'll be two teams in two seasons who decide he's not a franchise guy anymore. Something to keep in mind.

A-Dub at his most bluntPosted by on November 15, 2010 – 3:06 pm
Some afternoon tidbits on The Day After:
— Adrian Wilson passed on talking to the media after the game, so he did so today. Today's topic, among other things? His play. So, Adrian, how would you assess how you've played this season? "Like s***."
"I have to make those plays whenever they come my way," he said. "That is always what I would say I'd do and for whatever reason it's not happening this year … Yet."
Later, Wilson seemed to clarify his original assessment (or contradict it, I suppose). "It's not that I'm not playing well, it's that I'm not making the plays I've normally been making," Wilson said. "You can't get frustrated going to work Wednesday through Saturday. You have to believe in your work and I do believe in that."
— Safety Kerry Rhodes was asked to break down the play where he, Wilson and linebacker Paris Lenon were back on Seahawks receiver Deon Butler, only to have Butler not only catch it but dodge all three defenders to complete the 63-yard touchdown. "The play to Butler? I'm not going to put anyone out there. It was a good play by them. He made the catch, make some people miss and they made a big play."
— As everyone has heard by now, the Redskins and quarterback Donovan McNabb have agreed to a five-year extension with $40 million in guarantees (Which, by the way, WOW). Anyway, that means McNabb isn't going to be a free agent, he doesn't have a chance to come to Arizona (not that it was any guarantee anyway, even that the Cards would be interested) and so this blog is now a McNabb-free zone. Unless the Cards and Redskins meet. UPDATE: Yes, I know there is now more info about McNabb. I actually tweeted it first thing Tuesday morning. I'll have a blog on it later.
— This probably could be stepping into something dangerous, but I will do a live chat tomorrow at 1 p.m. Arizona time (3 p.m. EST). So if you have questions, bring 'em on (and here is the link).

The Syracuse men's lacrosse team jumped back into the national title picture on Saturday.
With an 11-10 double-overtime win over North Carolina, Syracuse showed it could compete with the ACC's top teams and the country's elite programs.
The Orange entered the season with national title aspirations, goals that appeared unreasonable midway through the season. But after a week that included two wins over top 12 teams, Syracuse can put those goals back on the table.
Here are five long-term takeaways from SU's win over the Tar Heels.
Depth finally emerges
Syracuse is arguably the country's deepest offense, with three skilled attackers and a pair of talented midfield lines.
For much of the season it's been an unused advantage because the Orange has struggled to gain possession long enough to find playing time for both units.
Against North Carolina, the Orange's second line wound up being its most dominant unit, and its opponent wilted under four quarters of pressure.
Syracuse trailed 6-3 at halftime but came back to tie the game in regulation.
"If you watched in the third quarter, other guys got into the game," Desko said. "We were mix and matching in the midfield. We could sense the speed in the game. They weren't subbing their shorties. Their shorties were staying in the game. We felt by running more offense it might take its toll going down the stretch."
The players who had the biggest role were Syracuse's second-line midfielders.
Billy Ward scored three goals, including the winner in double-overtime. Nicky Galasso added two more. They accounted for five of SU's 11 goals.
"We kind of switched them to the first line as they game went on," Desko said. "They were playing very well. I thought they played the best game they played this year."
With the Orange's week shortened by Tuesday's game against Cornell, it was the ideal time for the depth to emerge.
"We were making smart dodges, drawing the slide and moving the ball on them," Galasso said. "As the game went on it started to work."
Debating Daddio
Over the past four games, Syracuse's Chris Daddio has won the faceoff battle three times. Against Notre Dame and North Carolina, the specialist has been one of the key factors in SU's wins.
He's improved his percentage to 49.1 percent as the season has gone on, dominated the No. 3 faceoff specialist in the country and taken significant strides. Against North Carolina he won 69.2 percent for the game and 80 percent after halftime.
"I thought Chris Daddio was tremendous," Desko said.
The question remains, however, how he'll handle a heavy dose of the country's best in the postseason.
Notre Dame's Liam O'Connor has been the only marquee specialist that Daddio has beaten. The other two don't rank among the country's top 30.
With Duke's Brandon Fowler (No. 12 in the country) coming up in the ACC tournament and Colgate's Alex Kinnealey (No. 14) still left on the schedule, Daddio's performance the rest of the way may say more about Syracuse's NCAA tournament chances than anything else.
"We've all been working hard," Daddio said. "It's been going our way lately. We've just been working so hard to finish the rest of the season unlike the way we started."
Galasso's goals
North Carolina transfer Nicky Galasso has continued to progress after spending most of the past two seasons away from the sport due to injury. He scored two goals against his former team and even replaced Randy Staats on Syracuse's attack line at the end of regulation and in the first overtime.
Galasso began his career at UNC, winning ACC Freshman of the Year, but he suffered a stress fracture before his sophomore season. Galasso never worked his way back into North Carolina's starting rotation, prompting the transfer to Syracuse.
Galasso, who is shooting 30.4 percent, converted on two of his three shots on Saturday and, with the ball in his stick in overtime and a chance to play hero, he wisely didn't force anything.
The performance had to feel good for Galasso, but he showed zero interest in gloating.
"A little bit," Galasso said when asked if beating his old team felt particularly good. "It's just another game. I'm glad we came out with a win. Now we have another opponent to focus on."
Mullins powers SU defense
Brandon Mullins has guarded every opponents' most dangerous scorer this season. He's never been better than he was against North Carolina, matched up with Joey Sankey.
Mullins held the shifty attacker to just one goal and helped force Sankey into four turnovers. Sankey currently ranks 14th in the NCAA in points, averaging 4 per game.
"Our team defense has just gotten better," Desko said. "The effort down the stretch has been a complete turnaround. Mullins has done a good job taking the top attacker for the other team."
Staats struggles
Four days after what seemed like his breakthrough game, Randy Staats was largely ineffective against North Carolina. His nine-point game against Cornell seemed like a sign he was poised to become one of the country's most dominant players. The Tar Heels slid to him quickly, occasionally triple-teamed him and turned Staats into a non-factor.
He attempted just two shots, and the Orange pulled him off the field late in the second half in favor of Galasso. Staats still had a crucial assist in double-overtime and turned the ball over just once, so he didn't play poorly, but he remains a nice asset, not an unstoppable force.

Frito-Lay ends sponsorship of Fiesta Bowl as college football preps for playoff program
Plano-based Frito-Lay said Monday it has ended its role as the title sponsor of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The announcement closes out one of the longest sponsorship deals in college football and ends one of Frito-Lay's most high profile relationships.
The change coincides with the end of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and the beginning of the new College Football Playoff program in which broadcaster ESPN has the right to negotiate deals for the top sponsors.
Published reports hint that with that change, the price tag for title sponsorship has gone up substantially.
Sports Business Daily reported that Discover also is ending its sponsorship of the Orange Bowl.
"A wide range of factors come into play when you are considering a sponsorship of this nature," Chris Kuechenmeister, a Frito-Lay spokesman, said in an email. "We seriously considered the opportunities available to us if we continued the sponsorship, and we also looked at the Tostitos brand's strategic imperatives, and we concluded that for now, we need to take a different approach. It is as simple as that."
The company is planning "no other college bowl game for Tostitos at this time.
"The Fiesta Bowl itself dates back to 1971, well before major college bowl sponsorships became de rigueur.
Tostitos began its "landmark partnership" with the bowl game in 1996. That relationship ended after the 2014 bowl games.
"This decision was difficult and came after extensive evaluation and consideration," Frito-Lay said in a statement.
The Fiesta Bowl also put out a statement:
"The creativity, pageantry and branding Tostitos has brought to the Fiesta Bowl will have an everlasting impact on our game and we wish Tostitos continued success in the future. The landscape of college football is changing and we understand with these changes comes new opportunities. We are excited about the future and look forward to ESPN reaching an agreement with a new bowl partner."
A spokesman for ESPN could not be reached for comment.
