Sundowns coach wants PSL title
Sundowns coach Johan Neeskens wants a fairtytale end to the season.
JOHANNESBURG - Mamelodi Sundowns coach Johan Neeskens on Thursday said winning the league title with the club will be a fairytale end to the season for him and the club.
Neeskens joined the Pretoria side at the beginning of the current season and hopes to end their trophy drought that has lasted for almost a decade.
Sundowns are in the ABSA Premiership league title race with four other sides.
They are third on the table, three points behind log leaders Orlando Pirates with only two league rounds left.
Neeskens said his side was close to league glory, but the players needed to win their remaining games.
"I think winning the league requires team work. It's not about the coach; everyone wants to lift the cup."
Neeskens said should the club lose the title race it will be devastating after leading the log for an extended period during the season.

Audio transcript
Narrator: 'Summertime: Number 9A' was painted by Jackson Pollock in 1948. Here's Jeremy Lewison , former Director of Collections, at Tate.
'Summertime' was painted by Jackson Pollock after he left New York and settled in Long Island in a place called Springs. 'Summertime', in its expansiveness, reflects the vastness in scale of America, which Pollock knew at first hand from driving across from West coast to East coast and back again on several occasions as a young man. It seems to evoke some of the summer smells and sounds and the heat and the general rhythms and cycles of nature in the summer. However, this is not a traditional landscape. This is a painting in which, along with a number of other paintings of 1947 and 1948, Pollock tore up the rule book of painting. He moved away from the easel painting and he painted with the canvas stretched out on the floor. Instead of using the small gestures of the wrist or the fore-arm, he used his whole body in broad gestures, walking up and down the canvas or alongside the canvas, not simply flicking paint but pouring it and dripping it in very controlled movements, movements which were not simply from the arm but invoked the whole torso. The first e of paint that appears to have been applied is the grey which appears to be like a frieze of dancing figures running across the painting and one of the last es to be applied is black, which again reinforces this sense of the figural. It is as though the memory of the figure is imprinted on the unconscious movements that Pollock makes with his whole body.

Idk about yall but the black futures are fire!
man wtf why are the futures comin out now
Cameron Callaway Jr.
Man I'll take champagne's, cigars, or 11 lows. Tryin my luck with all of three.
thats a whack ass lineup weakness
Nothing worth copping, huge release and they're all bullshit colorways lol
need the lows...
jordan 1 is the best of all lmao
His kids made the best looking one lol
Those VIs look like knock off trash.
Those XIs don't come out this weekend. They drop the 21st
6's are sick
rip bank account
The easiest ones to get also along with the denim and leave out online cause bots get all those but store wise it won't be a issue
6 pair of shoes in one day ..
So you're pretty much saying the 11s are the only ones that actually matter this weekend?
Hey guys i found out im able to preorder these so im here if you arent able to pick upp your pairs on release day! (Only the jordan 6 cigars & champagnes)
Thanks for the info guys I'm starting to feel good about my chances I'll definitely be shooting 4 them
Nah...Looks like I'm sleeping in and saving money this Saturday.
Wish I had enough cash to get the champagne 6s but looks like I'm just going to try to cop the 11 lows
I want them cigars I'm going to go for these even if I don't get them I have to try
Ull b able to get the lows for 200 to 250 on ebay if u str8ke out retail....the 6s ont
The other hand 600 range
I'm not really worried bout the 11 lows I'll get them at HOH plus I have an low key spot where I can go I'm seriously thinking bout given a reseller some of my biz if I can't order the cigars online there's something I thought I would never say RESELLER wtf
Can anyone tell me they recently had success ordering from Nike online on release day without a bot I need a lil grain of hope
Nope not recently, most recent for me was the Laney 5
Have u tried I been winning raffles at HOH so I have no idea
@Boknowmagic Nahh... Last release I was able to cop was the grape 5's
@BBTrickShot @Boknowmagic Same with me, I had success with a few restocks with the "security" enhancements. It is a step up than what they used to lack.
@Boknowmagic I have had tons of success lately. Got Fear 4's and Gamma 11's off the recent restock. Got Carmine 1's and 6's the other weekend too.
@Boknowmagic So far since Nike has step up there security i'm been able to cop. It does get a little crazy but with patients you'll secure your pair.
@Boknowmagic i used nike.com for the first time last weekend for jordan 1 sb and got em. i used mobile and seemed to have more luck
Thanks 4 the info guys I'm starting to feel good about my chances I'll definitely be shooting 4 them
Everyone please be aware that on NDC the Championship Pack drops at 10AM Eastern. 1s & 11 lows at the usual 8AM Eastern.
Lows AND Cigars for me guys,..stay positive. Hustle hard, raffle, online, or whatever.
If you see it and believe it, then you can achieve it!
@Cop em and Rock em "If you dream it and you believe it, you will achieve it." - Mickey Factz.
This is gonna be madness. Cigars and Iguanas for me.
@BackseatJuice I'm with you but I know I won't be able to get both so I rather complete the set of 11 low's even though the Cigar's are definitely the better shoe! Problem is if I go for it and then miss out, I'll miss out on everything the way these shoes been flying into homes lately...........
Yes sir! I will be copping the Air Jordan 11 low to complete the low collection. It's not realistic to try and cop another pair since the Cigar's will likely be gone by 8:00 and 3 seconds. I wish I were joking!
Ur wrong...8am and 1sec...litteraly
@jmb82sh ur all wrong..early links will have them sold out before 8am! I swear the SB x AJ1 was gone in a sec bcuz of early links. Also, nothing is TLO this weekend which makes it difficult

Virus scanner false positive
Gamejunkie125 posted on Aug 04, 2010 12:08:07 PM - Report post
I have used the latest trainer before and had no problems until I took a little time off from gaming and when I re-downloaded the trainer I get a virus message from AVG. I see that a lot of people are having the same problem in the other locked forums or I would have commented on them. My question is, How do you turn the AVG off? I have looked in all the obvious places and I don't see an option to suspend....
Thanks in advance to any help....
inuch posted on Aug 16, 2010 4:36:26 PM - Report post
idk if u resolved ur problem but same thing happen to me. its not a virus its ur anti virus software. when u want to play and use the trainer disable ur resident shield. i have avg so that worked for me. every time i reactivate it. it says the trainer is a virus so ignore it and disable it so i can use the trainer.. hope it helps
Gamejunkie125 posted on Sep 05, 2010 10:17:55 AM - Report post
Thanks a lot, noone ever told me how to disable avg. Looked around for a bit before but never found it until you pointed the resident shield out. I feel somewhat embarrassed for not finding it sooner. But to my defense, all previous anti-virus scanners that I've had had the right click then disable line rather then having to search for it.
Neo7 posted on Sep 05, 2010 10:19:47 AM - Report post
The only way to turn AVG off completely is to uninstall it. I would recommend switching AV products (MSE usually has the least compatibility problems with trainers)
Your bitterness, I will dispel
Gamejunkie125 posted on Sep 11, 2010 3:52:09 AM - Report post
I like AVG. Now that I can disable the AV just so I can play without disrupting anything else makes it even better IMO.

Skip to comments.Zimmerman Attorney To Anderson Cooper: Trayvon Martin Broke My Clients Nose
Posted on 03/24/2012 6:47:49 AM PDT by tobyhill
Amid the rush of loud outrage and vocal protest from the parents of Trayvon Martin and their supporters the silence of one character in this tragic tale has been deafening: George Zimmerman, the free man who shot Martin and alleges self-defense. His attorney, Craig Sonner, finally spoke out to Anderson Cooper last night, and had few answers but one accusation his client has a broken nose and a laceration on his skull, and that was an injury done by Trayvon Martin.
Sonner noted to Cooper that his client seemed fine save for a considerable bit of stress natural to his situation, but admitted that y conversations have been by telephone. He did not know where Zimmerman was but assumed he was still in the area and hadnt fled the country. He had surprisingly little to offer Cooper about the facts of the case; asked what Zimmerman had told him about what transpired the night Martin died, he said he should have made a statement to police at the time, I believe he did, and said he did not discuss the details, and they would be privileged even if he had.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
Rep. West says a lot of stupid things.
This was just the latest example.
If Allen West was white he'd be just another congressman.
The police report will give the facts.Ever wonder why they didn't make an arrest?.
What I want to know sir is when did a statement of the facts followed by commentary and opinion on these same facts become a "rant"? So far as I am concerned you have nothing to apoligise for since I thought FreeRepublic was a forum for information and ideas with a conservative bent.
I believe that subsequent information has shown that the person calling for help was indeed Zimmerman calling for help.
This whole sad affair has gotten out of hand purely on the basis of political opportunism. The lefties need a rage and riot excuse and this one is it. From my perspective I wish they would riot so that I may have not an excuse but a reason to retaliate with asymmetric force.
Eventually though this one will go the way of so many other leftist and racist causes of this pitiful administration and chapter of what is left of the United States.
May oblabla and all who side with him rot in hell.
You stop too soon. They have no right to "demand" but they do have a right to ask. Further, no one has a right to beat someone up for asking a question.
All Zimmerman's injuries prove is that there was a fight. They don't prove who started the fight, which is of course the key issue. If Zimmerman started the fight (or even "provoked" Martin's use of force against him), then Zimmerman is not entitled, as a matter of Florida law, to claim that he acted in self-defense.
There is conflicting evidence/testimony (the 911 tape, Zimmerman's statement, Martin's girlfriend's statement) as to who started the confrontation. I don't know what happened, or whether the evidence is enough to prosecute/convict Martin. What I do know is that Zimmerman's lawyer's statement about the broken nose is irrelevant to the key issue in this case, and is likely meant to be a bit of a misdirection (if the evidence on one point is unclear, any good lawyer will try to focus attention on the points that are more clearly favorable for their client).
I have on two occasions observed through my window a problem person walk by that my park manager has obtained a no-trespass warrant for and called it in. Both times, the dispatcher has asked for more info, like description of clothes and direction of travel. To do so, I had to go outside, around the corner, and follow, not pursue, to obtain this info. And you can bet I didn't go out there with just my phone.
Now, the second time it happened, he was arrested. I'm sure he would tell you I pursued him.
Manufactured "incident" is precisely the way I see it as well. It is doing exactly what was wanted... raise the left, give them another cause, distract the right (look at us, this is the most commented thing on FR right now it seems)
I wonder how many other people were shot that same day? Were all of those just cut and dried clear cases of crime or self defense? Why weren't many of them "incidents"?
This is a real event turned into a manufactured "incident" to get us looking the other way. The comspiracy continues to roll right along.
I've heard 6' and 6'2", but stringbean build, 165 pounds or so.
-- So, if this neighborhood watch guy tried to ascertain what was going on with this unknown individual in the neighborhood who ran away from him, and when he grew tired and gave up the chase and was, I am presuming, returning to meet the police, was then attacked by the individual who was probably pummelinging him, then at that point he was standing his ground and could have been in fear for his life... --
At that point he can't be "standing ground" because, assuming he has been overwhelmed with superior force, he's lost the option of retreat.
Before he was taken down by Trayvon, he claims he was in retreat. He'd given up trying to locate Trayvon, and was headed back to his truck to wait for the police. By his story, he is no longer attempting to close the distance between himself and Trayvon.
-- but he was in a gated community (and why was he there? was that on the way to the store and back from the game?) --
Trayvon had a right to be in that community - his father or some other relative lives there, and Trayvon was living/visiting there.
-- If Trevon chose to turn around and attack this man, then he suffered the terrible consequences. --
Indeed. Not worth it.
"Over the past eight years, he called the Police Department at least 46 times with reports of various sightings."
Sounds like a neighborhood where shootings aren't uncommon.
Despite the best efforts of the race agitators like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan to cause violent and destructive race riots resulting in millions of dollars of damage, violent assaults and robberies, and even murder, I suspect that America has changed a bit since the Rodney King riots.
Oh, I have no doubt that there are tens of thousands of hate-filled criminal "youths", more than willing to riot, engage in mass "wildings" and mob robberies in a rampage of terror against innocent people.
And I also have no doubt that Justice Department is now so corrupt and partisan that it would be more than willing to see cities burned by their favored criminals, without so much as lifting a finger to enforce the law or prosecute those responsible.
However, I also know a truism about American history. This is that when the government refuses, by corruption, incompetence, or complicity, to protect the public from criminals, the public will take it upon themselves to do so.
I know this, because it has happened before. And though its good name is disparaged by the government, it still resounds when needed. "Vigilantism".
Vigilantism almost never begins as a violent movement, and it almost never fights offensively, for it is a form of defense. And 90% of the time, government changes in one way or another to return to its job of protecting the citizenry, so vigilantism loses its purpose and discontinues.
But on those rare occasions when government is adamant in its corruption, actively supporting criminals against the people, vigilantism rises to the occasion. It is the last, and very potent, line of defense against anarchy and chaos.
A little mentioned fact about the Rodney King riots was that on the first night of riots, the predominantly black rioters chose to attack the Korean community, causing much damage and looting stores, while attacking any Korean they saw.
This is little mentioned because that, while the rioters were able to do this once, by the following evening, the Korean community was heavily armed and more than willing to defend itself. Had the rioters returned, they would have experienced dozens or hundreds of casualties and killed.
Vigilantism, pure and simple. And effective.
Back to the here and now, once again, the racists are trying terribly hard to incite riots, and even the administration is hoping that this will "energize their base", in some bizarre way, so that they can retain political power.
But this time, the public should have fair warning. And the laws across the country, about gun ownership and use, have changed considerably. And the public has responded by arming themselves to the teeth.
It is to our sadness that the US president would encourage riots and chaos in our nation to further his political ambitions, but appearances are that he has chosen to do so. Yet we do not have to passively accept the destruction, deprivation and despair he chooses as our future.
Individually, and as a group, we should stand united in the face of violence and crime, because its perpetrators and advocates are weak and cowardly, and will scatter if faced down by those who will defend the innocent. In most cases, our local and state governments will stand with us, with only part of the federal government acting the villain.
So the honest citizenry are in good company, and will almost certainly win.
You'll have a long wait.
"Ill be waiting for all of the morons like Jeb Bush to call attention to their stupidity for being stampeded into denouncing Zimmerman before all of the facts were known."
where were you for the Duke La Cross player rape case?
where were you when all 80 or so of the Duke professors hit the airwaves in condemnation of the players?
i don't ask where were you when the apologies were issued....because there were none. not from the Duke professors, not from the media, not from the prosecutors, not from the perpetrators of the hoax.
so where does this leave us? a lot of the people in this country think those accused were guilty and somehow they used their privileged race and social status to squash the case.
Zimmerman will always be guilty of murder of an innocent child....gunned down while walking down the street with a bag of skittles....the AP has made sure of that.
Tawana Brawley?
link to a NYSLIMES focus group report....for example....
" my concern is what would happen if Tawana Brawley was white. A white kid is certainly capable of this kind of elaboration of fantasy. I don't think there are many white people in America who don't accept, particularly after the last week or so, that this kid lied. However, what is astonishing to me is the number of black people in this country who seem non-paranoid, relatively well-educated who think it's a cover-up, that, in fact, believe to different extents that this really happened. I don't know how to deal with such an obvious difference in attitude about authority, about credibility between blacks and whites in this country. . . "
i went to a focus group at a college about 7 months or so after the Simi Valley civil case against OJ. there were about equal numbers of black and non-black citizens there. we all came by volunteering. we were all concerned about the differences and we all wanted to try to understand the other point of view. it was interesting, and discouraging.
each of us across the racial divide could not understand how our counter parts could possibly not get it. Black people were very upset that we whites could not understand how the system is used to suppress Black people. they could not understand how we could be so supportive of the prosecutors and police. how could we be so blind to the obvious truth that OJ was innocent. not just in the legal sense of not guilty, but actually had nothing to do with the murders. how could we not understand that the police had planted that evidence? how could we be so.....and the words escape me....stupid? racist? something.....
there is no way to bridge this gap that i can see.
i do not like government. i am suspicious of what they do and how they do it. so we share that. why do i not understand that the government, the establishment, the elites etc have their own prejudices that suppress minorities and persecute them?
answer....because i am white. i cannot possibly understand. because it is not happening to me, and, it never did.
If the media makes much of an effort to report it. More interesting to me is how the media gets away with fanning the fires - that is, the public reaction is more interesting to me, than is the small number of people who will be involved in looking at the reliable evidence.
The underlined wording is factually incorrect, as evidenced by the public statement of the Sanford city manager.
See numerous pdf files here, authored and/or hosted by the City of Sanford (.gov), with particular attention to this one, containing the following description (~halfway down the page) of the police dispatcher's words to Zimmerman at the time:
If Zimmerman was told not to continue to follow Trayvon, can that be considered in this investigation?
Yes it will; however, the telecommunications call taker asked Zimmerman are you following him. Zimmerman replied, yes. The call taker stated you dont need to do that. The call takers suggestion is not a lawful order that Mr. Zimmerman would be required to follow. Zimmermans statement was that he had lost sight of Trayvon and was returning to his truck to meet the police officer when he says he was attacked by Trayvon.
(underlining mine, for highlighting purposes only)
He was a part owner and a part of the neighborhood watch.
He has no police powers it is true...but I do not think it is illegal for him to ask a person what he is up to. Anymore than it was illegal for Trevon to be there...unless it was marked private property and no tresspassing.
At any rate, as far as I am concerned, you are right. The case will be decided based on what happened at the point of physical altercation.
Apparently the person heard crying for help was Zimmerman. Trevon was quite a bit larger and stronger than Zimmerman and was being beaten at that point. If he was in fear of his life at that point, then the stand your ground law comes into effect.
What will matter will be how the grand jury (1st) and then perhaps later a jury will interpret what happened and whose fault it was.
With crime going on in the area, confronting a stranger in the community may not be viwed as a bad thing (I wouldn't if it were my community and I was a part owner). If they view following the young man as wrong, then they may hold Zimmerman responsible and trump the stand your ground...though I do not think that what either of them did was illegal until the punches started flying.
That being the case...and if this is what happened (we still do not know), then my opinon falls with Zimmerman.
At that point he had given up the chase and was returning back to meet the police who were supposed to be coming and he was attacked, maybe blind sided. That decision to attack, to initiate force, was Trevon's decision...and self defense is allowed when being attacked physcally.
Anyhow, we'll see how it plays out. What really get s me mad is the way the left and the President are politicizing it, and the way the MSM is convicting Zimmerman based on hearsay and incomplete facts...and the calls by the Black Panthers and Nation of Ilsam for violence in the streets and "wanted Dead or Alive" put out by them on Zimmerman.
Remember that when the OWS hippies camp out on your lawn.
Zimmerman had every right to ask Trayvon anything he wanted. Trayvon had no obligation to answer. He could have just told Zimmerman to mind his own business or just ignored him altogether.
Trayvon had no right to physically assault Zimmerman as reported by an eyewitness.
That isn't the older photo I have, and I think others have said the one there isn't even him. That is someone in GA.
Well, if the stand your ground flew out when he retreated, then pure self-defense comes into play.
Either way, the decision to initiate force was apparently the kids decision...and it was a bad one. If he had simply confronted Zimmerman and explained that he lived there and was walking to a game...I bet nothing would have happened.
This story is another example of how the radical left manipulates the news and the lame stream media goes along. From what I read of the Sanford PD report on this there was not enough evidence to arrest Zimmerman, a grand jury was scheduled to look into the matter and then the media and race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson moved in screaming...why was there no arrest.
I first thought it was an attempt to overturn the castle doctrine law, but now I am beginning to think that they want open race war which will allow Obama to use his EO to declare martial law and the 2012 election will be put on hold as a matter of national security.
We live in troubled times
I hear what you saying but on the face of it, a self appointed armed policeman without the requisite training nor the desire to listen to supervision, making rounds and pursuing "suspects" is not advisable behavior.
The odd thing about the case is that no one mentions that Zimmerman is a Latino, because it defeats the propaganda value.
It must have been a 'live' comment. No way Anderson Cooper would ever gets off the liberal elite propaganda message.
Maybe it happened as he was having his head pounded in the ground. Go read the police report Al
Thus the media drives the perception....and should not be held guiltless when the facts show Zimmerman was entirely innocent in this happening.
He was doing his job and acted accordingly as most would in his place. IMO this isn't anything more than an Obamamachine driven, media pimped, political "campaign" against the American people as a whole.
"Whoever controls the media controls the masses"....and the media is in full Obama campaign mode.
Quotes post...bookmarked!
Sharpton strikes me as one of those opportunistic freaks who attempts to crash parties in hopes of finding an intoxicated/incapacitated female to take perverse advanatage.
Yes, and all the angst over the propriety of "stand your ground" needs to find another case to glom onto.
-- Either way, the decision to initiate force was apparently the kids decision. --
If so, as a matter of law, Zimmerman needs only show that he apprehended serious injury (and taking a beating EASILY meets that threshold) in order to be justified.
But, as a matter of public opinion, he's screwed, and ought to be thinking about suing the media.
"Remember that when the OWS hippies camp out on your lawn."
If they are on my property, it's a different situation from following somebody around with my CCW pistol.
He was not required to obey the instructions of the 911 dsipatcher. What Zimmerman did was not illegal, any more than the young man being in and walking around the neighborhood was illegal, where apparently family of his lived.
The key thing is the violence and altercation. Apparently Zimmerman gave up the chase and was walking back when he was attacked by this young man...who was getting the better of him and pummeling him.
At that point Zimmerman had every right to defend himself. Apparently, it was Zimmerman crying out for help on the tape.
If the young man initiated violence, it was illegal and irrespective of stand your ground, Zimmerman was entitled to defend himself. That decision to use violence was initiated by the young man...apparently.
But we have to let the facts come out and that is the real issue IMHO. Let the process work...we have a President and others immediately politicising it and convicting Zimmerman before he has a chance to defend himself or have due process.
Yep...all around.
It may shake out as legit SD. Or it may not. But surely you can agree that a "lesson learned" here is that a CCW holder puts himself into grave legal jeapordy if he follows a "suspect," thereby initiating a series of events.
If the "suspect" pulls a J-turn back at his follower, the SD aspect is put at risk by the follower's actions before the shooting.
You don't see this? Really? Does this mean you suggest as a reasonable and recommended practice that CCW holders should follow "suspects" around and demand information from them?
You don't see how this puts the CCW holder in grave legal danger?
You've pretty much come to the same conclusion I have on the events. Treyvon had been visiting his father and they were at the father's fiance's when Trayvon left to go to a store for tea and skittles and was on his way back to the father's fiance's home.
When Zimmerman stopped looking and was returning to his truck, the kid should have left well enough alone. Instead, it looks like he attacked Zimmerman from behind. I think they find that he was shot at close range because he was on top of Zimmerman, beating on him.
Wrong.... the recording is clear that he did stop....and even when he was persuing you can hear him and it was hardly a minute if that.
Watch can and does move to keeping the individual in sight, especially if he is jolting as this guy did....which is why Zimmerman began following him when he ran...., but when told not to do so he stopped. The converstion continues with directions on where he is and when to meet up with the police.
Might be good idea if you look at what is allowable and taught to Neighborhood watch members before you assume it only means watching...as well as listen to the recording of that conversation before passing even a minor conclusion of the matter.
Have a nice day, troll.
His attorney, Craig Sonner, finally spoke out to Anderson Cooper last night, and had few answers but one accusation -- his client has a broken nose and a laceration on his skull, and that was "an injury done by Trayvon Martin."
There were recent photos all over here last night but do not post pictures.
He had every right to follow Martin; he had every right to ask if Martin lived there; and, he had every right not to be attacked. Not one of Zimmerman's actions was illegal. Martin's actions alone were illegal.
Where are the photos?
Can you answer the same question I put at 86? Thanks.
I wonder if you're putting too much emphasis on what a 911 dispatcher's (I believe that very few of them are actual LEO's, but I could be wrong) instructions carry legally. Their instructions invariably are to wait for the cops to arrive. I'm sure that there are hundreds of instances a year that crimes are averted by people who disregard dispatcher's instructions to stand down.
This 6'2 guy was no "kid". And fully has a track history of missing school five days at a clip....what mischief was he up to then? Time will reveal what happened...all we're hearing now is vast mass speculation without evidence.
Those protesting this should be ashammed.
Er, excuse my French.
You stated Zimmerman had no right to ask Trayvon any questions. That is what I took issue with. No matter what questions Zimmerman asked Trayvon, he did not have the right to physically assault Zimmerman for some perceived disrespect.

Whether the increase in blood pressure with coffee drinking seen in clinical trials persists over time and translates into an increased incidence of hypertension is not known.
We assessed coffee intake in a cohort of 1017 white male former medical students (mean age, 26 years) in graduating classes from 1948 to 1964 up to 11 times over a median follow-up of 33 years. Blood pressure and incidence of hypertension were determined annually by self-report, demonstrated to be accurate in this cohort.
Consumption of 1 cup of coffee a day raised systolic blood pressure by 0.19 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.35) and diastolic pressure by 0.27 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.39) after adjustment for parental incidence of hypertension and time-dependent body mass index, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and physical activity in analyses using generalized estimating equations. Compared with nondrinkers at baseline, coffee drinkers had a greater incidence of hypertension during follow-up (18.8% vs 28.3%; P = .03). Relative risk (95% confidence interval) of hypertension associated with drinking 5 or more cups a day was 1.35 (0.87-2.08) for baseline intake and 1.60 (1.06-2.40) for intake over follow-up. After adjustment for the variables listed above, however, these associations were not statistically significant.
Over many years of follow-up, coffee drinking is associated with small increases in blood pressure, but appears to play a small role in the development of hypertension.
A LINK BETWEEN coffee drinking and increased blood pressure has been postulated for at least 60 years.1 Administration of coffee has been demonstrated to raise blood pressure acutely,2 but adaptation to the cardiovascular effects of coffee drinking occurs quickly. A recent meta-analysis of 11 clinical trials with a median duration of 56 weeks, however, demonstrated a persistent relationship between coffee intake and an increase in blood pressure.3
No prospective studies of coffee drinking and risk of developing hypertension have been performed. Such studies are necessary to determine if the pressor effect of coffee drinking seen in clinical trials is maintained over time and whether it translates into an increased risk of developing hypertension over the long-term. We examined the long-term effect of coffee drinking on blood pressure and risk of hypertension in The Johns Hopkins Precursors Study,4 a prospective longitudinal study of former medical students. The availability of repeated measures of coffee intake from young adulthood to age 60 years, as well as validated self-reports of blood pressure and hypertension, offers a unique opportunity to address this important issue.
The Johns Hopkins Precursors Study was designed and initiated in 1947 by the late Caroline Bedell Thomas.4 The 1337 students who matriculated into the graduating classes of 1948 to 1964 of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine were eligible for the study. Between 1948 and 1964, 1160 male and 111 female students (95% of those eligible) were enrolled. In medical school, participants completed questionnaires about their medical history, family history of hypertension, health habits, and dietary habits including coffee intake and cigarette smoking.4 Participants also underwent a standardized medical examination that included measurement of weight, height, blood pressure, and total serum cholesterol.5 Blood pressure was assessed on multiple occasions (median of 9 measurements) in medical school using a standardized protocol. For the present analysis, the mean level of all measurements was used to estimate blood pressure at baseline.
Women were excluded from this analysis because of their small numbers. Seventeen men with average systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher in medical school were also excluded. The remaining 1017 white men who provided coffee information in medical school are the study population for the present analysis.
Usual coffee intake was assessed up to 11 times: in medical school; every 5 years after graduation until 1984; and in 1978, 1986, 1989, and 1993. Information on cups of coffee consumed per day in medical school, in 1978 and later was obtained in response to an open-ended question. At the 5-year follow-ups, participants indicated their current intake based on 8 possible responses ranging from 0 to 7 or more cups a day. After 1986, participants were asked specifically about caffeinated coffee. Only information on caffeinated coffee was included in the analyses.
Information on cigarette smoking, body weight, physical activity, and alcohol intake was obtained at baseline and at the same time points during follow-up as coffee drinking. Self-reports of smoking behavior and body weight have been validated in this cohort.6
Methods of assessment of physical activity and alcohol intake varied over follow-up. Physical activity was assessed in medical school and over follow-up using the question, "How much physical training have you had in the past month?" Possible responses were none, little, moderate, and much. In 1978, 1986, 1989, and 1993, participants were asked the number of times per week that they engaged in physical activity vigorous enough to work up a sweat.7 Based on data from the years in which both questionnaires were administered, all responses were categorized based on the number of times per week the participants worked up a sweat. Alcohol intake was assessed in medical school, and every 5 years after graduation until 1984 by asking, "How much do you drink?" Possible responses were "never," "occasional," "varies," and "regular." In 1978, 1986, and later, a quantity-frequency measure of alcohol consumption was administered. Based on data from years when both questions were asked, alcohol intake from all questionnaires were converted to a quantity-frequency scale. Responses to both questions have been strongly related to the incidence of hypertension in this cohort.8,9 Prevalence of hypertension in parents was assessed at baseline and incidence of hypertension in parents was assessed annually after graduation.
Blood pressure after graduation was assessed by means of annual questionnaires. Participants were asked to measure their blood pressure in a seated position. The average number of years that participants reported their blood pressure was 11, with a range from 1 (n = 39) to 27. Self-reports of blood pressure in a subset of this cohort have been found to be remarkably accurate.6 The correlation between measured and reported blood pressure was 0.67 for systolic blood pressure and 0.56 for diastolic blood pressure.
The annual questionnaires also asked about a diagnosis of and treatment for hypertension. A diagnosis of hypertension was assigned after review of annual questionnaires, blood pressure reports, and medical records by a committee of 5 internists trained in epidemiology without knowledge of the participant's coffee intake. The committee's criteria for hypertension were a reported blood pressure greater than or equal to 160/95 mm Hg on 1 annual questionnaire, greater than or equal to 140/90 mm Hg on 2 or more annual questionnaires, or hypertension requiring drug therapy. In persons who met the criteria for hypertension, onset was defined as first reported elevated reading. The present analysis was based on events reported through December 31, 1995, representing a median follow-up of 33 years. Yearly response rates varied from 68% to 78%, with 87% to 94% of the cohort responding at least once during every 5-year period. Vital status of nonrespondents was ascertained by contacting family members, scanning obituaries, and searching the National Death Index. Vital status was known for greater than 99% of the cohort.
The association of coffee drinking and blood pressure was assessed in longitudinal data analysis using the generalized estimating equations (GEE) approach developed by Liang and Zeger.10 The GEE accounts for correlation of blood pressure within individuals over time, allowing valid inferences from longitudinal data. For this analysis, coffee intake was parameterized as a continuous variable: 0 to 7 cups per day. The participants often reported more than 1 blood pressure reading on an annual questionnaire, so the mean of all blood pressures reported was used in the analysis. Blood pressures within 2 years after a report of coffee consumption were assigned to that measure of coffee intake. The number of years in which coffee intake was assessed was fewer than the number of years that blood pressure was reported. Blood pressure values were excluded from the analysis if data on coffee intake were not available within the prior 2 years. Observations were censored once a participant met the criteria for hypertension.
The cumulative incidence of subsequent hypertension associated with coffee intake at baseline was calculated for 4 categories of coffee consumption: none, 1 to 2 cups daily, 3 to 4 cups daily, and 5 or more cups daily, using Kaplan-Meier analysis.11 The difference in hypertension incidence between coffee intake levels was tested using the log-rank test.12 Age was the time variable used in all survival analyses. Coffee drinking was also modeled as a time-dependent categorical variable in Cox proportional hazards analysis.13 In these analyses, coffee consumption was defined by the level of most recent coffee intake prior to the first report of elevated blood pressure among those with hypertension in comparison with coffee consumption at the same age among those without elevated blood pressure. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were developed to adjust for possible confounding variables including incidence of hypertension in parents as well as time-dependent data during follow-up on number of cigarettes smoked, body mass index, physical activity, and alcohol intake. The models were stratified by calendar time periods to adjust for potential differences in baseline risk factors over time and possible secular trends in hypertension risk. Persons with missing data were excluded from the multivariate analysis. To examine the hypothesis that risk of hypertension varied by method of coffee preparation, calendar time was also used as a surrogate for preparation method.14 Time-dependent coffee intake was modeled as 3 calendar time-specific variables: before 1975, 1975 to 1984, and after 1984. These cut points were chosen because methods of coffee preparation began to shift toward use of automatic drip coffee makers around 1975, and a report on the relation of coffee drinking to coronary heart disease incidence in this cohort was published in 1984.14 Because coffee drinking has been suggested to interact with cigarette smoking to increase blood pressure,15 analyses were also performed within strata of lifetime smoking status. Estimates of relative risk and corresponding 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) relating coffee consumption to risk of hypertension were computed from the Cox models.13 All tests of significance were 2-tailed with an α level of .05.
Characteristics of the men in medical school and during follow-up are displayed in Table 1. Eighty-two percent drank coffee. The median category of coffee drinking was 1 to 2 cups per day with a median intake of 2 cups per day among drinkers. The men were young, with desirable mean levels of body mass, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and serum cholesterol. The heaviest coffee drinkers tended to be slightly older than the men who drank less or no coffee. Men who drank more coffee were more likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Coffee intake in medical school was not related to physical activity, body mass index, or blood pressure at baseline.
The total number of blood pressure measurements reported were 21 457 and these were averaged to yield 11 666 annual mean blood pressure estimates. Coffee drinking was reported within the previous 2 years for 7768 and these were included in the GEE analysis. Table 2 summarizes the results of the unadjusted GEE analysis. In analyses using coffee drinking as a continuous variable, 1 cup of coffee per day was associated with a 0.21 mm Hg (95% CI, 0.03-0.38 mm Hg; P = .02) higher systolic and 0.26 mm Hg (95% CI, 0.14-0.38; P<.001) higher diastolic pressure. After adjustment for age, cigarette smoking, incidence of hypertension in the participants' mother and father, as well as changes in alcohol intake, physical activity, and body mass index during follow up, the effect of coffee intake on systolic and diastolic blood pressure was similar and remained highly significant. In multivariate analyses, consumption of 1 cup of coffee a day increased systolic blood pressure by 0.19 mm Hg (95% CI, 0.02-0.35) and diastolic pressure by 0.27 mm Hg (95% CI, 0.15-0.39). There were no statistically significant interactions in the association of coffee drinking with blood pressure for cigarette smoking or any of the other variables included in the multivariate analysis.
During a median follow-up of 33 years, 281 men developed hypertension at a median age of 53 years. The unadjusted incidence of hypertension was 26.5% at age 60 years and 51.7% at age 77 years. Hypertension incidence varied by level of coffee intake (Figure 1). Estimates of incidence at the end of follow-up were highly variable because the staggered enrollment over 17 years resulted in a small number of men with follow-up to age 70 years. Thus, incidence rates at age 60 years are given in Table 3. The incidence of hypertension by age 60 years was greater in men who drank coffee in medical school (28.3%) than in those who did not (18.8%) (log-rank P = .03). Hypertension incidence increased progressively in men drinking 1 to 2 cups a day and 3 to 4 cups a day compared with non–coffee drinkers (Table 3). In the heaviest coffee consumption group, however, incidence of hypertension fell to 25.8%, less than that in the 1 to 2 cups a day group.
Incidence of hypertension by level of coffee intake at baseline in 1017 white men during a median follow-up of 33 years.
Results of Cox proportional hazards analysis assessing the risk of hypertension associated with coffee drinking at baseline and during follow-up are given in Table 4. Compared with men who did not drink coffee at baseline, the relative risk of hypertension was greater in all categories of coffee drinking but relative risk estimates increased only slightly with successive levels of coffee drinking, and, as in the Kaplan-Meier analysis, decreased somewhat in the heaviest drinkers. Risk of hypertension was statistically significantly greater in those drinking 3 to 4 cups a day compared with the men who abstained. After taking into account differences among coffee intake categories in incidence of hypertension in parents and the number of cigarettes smoked, alcohol intake, physical activity, and body mass index during follow-up, the association of coffee drinking with hypertension incidence was not statistically significant. When coffee drinking in closer proximity to the onset of hypertension was examined by modeling coffee intake during follow-up as a time-dependent covariate, results were similar to those seen for baseline coffee intake.
In analyses stratified by smoking status at baseline, the unadjusted relative risk of hypertension associated with drinking 5 or more cups of coffee a day (modeled as a continuous variable) was similar for smokers (relative risk, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.35-2.03) and nonsmokers (relative risk, 1.45; 95% CI, 0.93-2.25) alike, providing no evidence of effect modification of an association of coffee drinking with hypertension by cigarette smoking status. Likewise, risk of hypertension associated with coffee intake did not differ by calendar time of assessment of coffee intake. The unadjusted relative risk of hypertension associated with drinking 5 cups of coffee per day was 1.54 (95% CI, 0.99-2.38) before 1975, 1.16 (95% CI, 0.71-1.88) between 1975 and 1984, and 1.10 (95% CI, 0.63-1.91) after 1984 (P for interaction = .21). Results were unchanged in multivariate analyses.
In this long-term prospective study, drinking 1 cup of coffee a day was associated with small increases in blood pressure. Despite this persistent pressor effect, long-term coffee drinking did not substantially increase the risk of developing hypertension in this cohort. Nondrinkers were at lower risk of hypertension than coffee drinkers but there was no progressive increase in risk associated with higher levels of coffee intake. Relative risk estimates associated with coffee drinking were all less than 2.0 and, after adjustment for a number of factors associated with hypertension incidence, the risk associated with coffee drinking was no longer statistically significant.
The lower risk of hypertension in the heaviest coffee drinkers at baseline compared with more moderate coffee drinkers appeared to be explained by change in amount of coffee consumed during the long period of follow-up. When most recent, rather than baseline, coffee intake was considered, risk was higher in the heaviest drinkers (Table 4, column 3). Given the long follow-up and expected variation in coffee drinking over one's lifetime, time-dependent analyses using most recent intake is the preferred approach.
The magnitude of the systolic blood pressor effect associated with drinking 1 cup of coffee (0.21 mm Hg) in this study was less than that seen in clinical trials of coffee drinking, but the effect for diastolic pressure (0.26 mm Hg) was almost identical. In a recent meta-analysis of 11 clinical trials lasting longer than 2 weeks (median duration, 56 weeks),3 the effect of drinking 1 cup a day was estimated to be 0.52 mm Hg for systolic pressure and 0.25 mm Hg for diastolic pressure.3 The blood pressure effects of drinking coffee are due to its caffeine content16 and adaptation to these effects occurs rapidly.17 Continued adaptation over the long period of follow-up in this study may explain why the effect on systolic pressure is less than that seen in clinical trials. In the Busselton Study, the only prospective study of coffee drinking and blood pressure of which we are aware, persons who decreased their coffee intake experienced a fall in blood pressure over 6 years of follow-up.18 The risk of developing hypertension associated with coffee drinking has not been examined previously, to our knowledge, but studies of the association of coffee drinking with risk of hemorrhagic stroke, a marker of uncontrolled hypertension, have also not shown an association.19
In contrast to the relatively consistent results from clinical trials, cross-sectional studies where coffee intake and blood pressure were assessed at the same time have yielded mixed results.20- 26 A problem with such studies is that persons with high blood pressure are often advised to moderate their coffee intake.27 Thus, inverse or J-shaped associations may result from selective decrease of coffee intake in those with elevated blood pressure. An advantage of the present study is that it is unlikely that knowledge of high blood pressure affected level of coffee intake because first elevation of blood pressure was used to define time of onset of hypertension, often years before a clinical diagnosis was made and medication was started.
Method of coffee preparation has been shown to be an important determinant of the effects of coffee drinking on serum lipid levels because passing boiled coffee through a paper filter removes terpenes that raise serum cholesterol levels.28 Specific information about method of coffee preparation from the participants would be desirable but was unavailable. Calendar time, although suboptimal, was used as a marker for method of coffee preparation in the present study because automatic drip coffee filters did not come into widespread use until after 1975. Thus, most of the coffee consumed prior to that time was probably percolated and unfiltered. Calendar time did not modify the association of coffee drinking with blood pressure or hypertension incidence, suggesting that method of coffee preparation does not affect hypertension risk.
Strengths of this study include the assessment of coffee intake prior to development of hypertension, very high response rates at baseline and follow-up, validity of self-reported blood pressure, and the repeated measures of coffee intake during a median follow-up of 33 years. The information on parental incidence of hypertension and the repeated measures of alcohol intake, physical activity, cigarette smoking, and body mass from an average age of 22 to 65 years, allowed adjustment for these possible confounding variables. Another unique strength is the ability to examine the effect of coffee drinking not only on risk of hypertension, but also on blood pressure. Utilization of GEE analysis allowed inferences of the impact of coffee drinking on blood pressure while taking into account changes in blood pressure due to age, intraindividual correlation in blood pressure over time, and the influence of other confounders.
The results presented herein are strictly generalizable only to high socioeconomic status white men. The prevalence of hypertension in this cohort in 1995 was 28%, somewhat less than that for non–Hispanic white men aged 50 to 69 years in the United States as a whole.29 Information on other dietary factors associated with hypertension incidence, such as dietary intake of sodium, potassium, and fiber, were not available. In a cross-sectional study of 1194 white men in the United States, however, coffee intake was not associated with dietary intake of bran fiber, fiber from fruit, or cruciferous vegetables.30 Cups of coffee per day were associated with levels of physical activity and alcohol intake, variables that were included in this analysis. More complete adjustment for the intensity and magnitude of possible confounders, however, may have entirely eliminated any association of coffee drinking with hypertension incidence. Because of the concern that the association of coffee drinking with hypertension risk may not be causal and that incidence rates of hypertension might not be generalizable, we did not calculate estimates of population attributable risk of hypertension associated with coffee intake.
Clinical trials conducted in persons with established hypertension have demonstrated that cessation of coffee drinking lowers blood pressure.31 Our results may not apply to such persons. In groups similar to our study population, however, coffee drinking does not appear to play a major role in the incidence of hypertension.

So, I wanted to ask: has anyone been able to embed a current version of WordPress into a project? How did you do it? Is there a workaround yet? Or, is the option to integrate wordpress (as described in this document no longer going to be supported?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
