Madonna forking over $60 mil to Guy Ritchie
Guy Ritchie is reportedly going to walk away from his marriage to Madonna with $60 million along with their British retreat Ashcombe and the Punchbowl pub (which he owned to begin with.) But Skeletor Barbie is going nuclear and claiming that Guy is a gold-digger, according to The Sun:
Queen of Pop Madonna, who famously follows the mystical Jewish religion Kabbalah, told a friend: "I'm totally devastated that Guy's turned out to be such a gold-digger.
"I thought we'd been on a spiritual journey together for the past ten years — but obviously I was wrong. He's just after my money. I've worked my ass off for the last 30 years to get what I have, and now this gold-digger wants to take it from me.
"Kabbalah philosophy teaches that you don't take what you haven't earned. Well that's exactly what Guy is doing. He hasn't earned a penny of it, yet wants to take, take, take. He keeps upping his demands — he just wants more, and more, and more from me. It's unbelievable."
On the flip side, sources for Guy Ritchie say he's merely recouping his financial losses and could've taken her to the cleaners:
Guy's camp are insisting he is NOT a gold-digger — pointing out that, had he wanted, he could have got more than five times the figure involved. They put that sum at around $60million of property — equivalent to about £34.5million. But Madonna's camp disputes the figure — insisting her husband is after much more than that.
One source added: "The divorce is not a done deal yet. Guy will definitely keep Ashcombe and he gets the cash equivalent of all their London properties and the Punchbowl pub, which was always his anyway.
Does anyone remember Swept Away the movie Guy directed starring Madonna? If you do, first off, my apologies. Second, that thing was a gaping head wound to Guy Ritchie's career and, frankly, I'm surprised he's legally allowed near a film camera. Which is why, in the court of public opinion, I doubt anyone's going to begrudge the man a dime that he gets from Madonna. I mean, look what she turned into! I almost feel like Guy Ritchie deserves half of my money for bedding that thing.

How to improve cancer survival
The current government has identified cancer survival rates as an area for improvement and the cancer strategy commits to saving an additional 5,000 lives by 2015, but how can these improvements be achieved?
How to improve cancer outcomes, published in partnership with Cancer Research UK, considers the existing differences in cancer survival rates between countries and discusses the reasons for these variations including: stage at diagnosis and diagnostic delay; treatment factors; patient factors; and tumour biology and physiological/biological factors.
The authors suggest that the most plausible drivers for improved survival rates are:
- diagnosis at an early stage, including through effective screening programmes
- access to optimal treatment
- improvements in the management of older people with cancer.
To achieve these improvements, the NHS and public health need to work together to diagnose more cancers at an early stage and GPs need to use information about their referral rates and use of diagnostics to understand how their performance compares with others. The authors also emphasise the need to reduce variation in access to major surgery and to radiotherapy treatment for cancer and the need to address inequalities in the management of older people with cancer.

Mauritania: Latest MSF Updates
- Mauritania: Malian Refugees at Risk of Malnutrition Due to Canceled Food Aid
- Refugees in Mauritania: Teetering on the Brink
- MSF Continuing Efforts for Malian Refugees in Mauritania
- Hunger Strikes Malian Refugees Stranded in Mauritanian Desert
Our Work
This is an extract from MSF's 2015 International Activity Report:
There are approximately 50,000 Malian refugees living in Mauritania's Mbera refugee camp. They are almost entirely dependent on international aid for survival, and many lack adequate food and shelter.
The political and security crisis in Mali in 2013 forced thousands of Malians to flee across the border to Mauritania. Despite the initiation of a peace process in 2014, northern Mali remained so insecure that government services were and are largely absent in the region. Armed groups splintered while violent attacks and banditry dissuaded refugees from returning home.
MSF provides basic and emergency healthcare, and gynecological and obstetric services for the refugees in Mbera camp and for the host communities in nearby Bassikounou and Fassala. By supporting the government clinics and hospitals, MSF has ensured that everyone in the economically marginalized area has access to free medical care for the first time. In 2015, cesarean sections and visceral and orthopedic surgeries represented the majority of the life-saving surgical procedures performed by MSF teams in the region.
At the end of 2015, MSF had 370 staff in Mauritania. MSF has worked in the country since 1994.
Patient story
Azarra*, 40 years old, from Timbuktu
"It took us two days to arrive in Fassala; we were tired but we were alive and safe. That was the most important thing. Now, we have to adapt to life in Mbera camp but it is very difficult for us … I was poor in Mali but here it is even worse, I have absolutely nothing and I feel like a complete stranger, far from my own country. I want peace to return to the north so that I can finally go back home."

Troywrote a review of Five Ten Arrowhead Climbing Shoe on January 13, 2013
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
as the title says, these shoes are phenomenal. the edging on these shoes is unmatched. my foot hasnt slipped off the tinniest of all footholds since ive gotten these, and i can stand on just about anything while feeling completely secure, and confident. They are not the most downturned shoes, and lose a bit of aggressiveness after a few times in them, but still are great on overhangs. it has a nice pointy toe for digging deep into pockets. people say they are uncomfortable, but once you break them in, i think they are one of the more comfortable downturned shoes. smearing of course isnt all that great, but then again why would you expect such a downturned shoe to be good at smearing. And of course you cant go wrong with these shoes, as they have five tens stealth onyxx rubber, which i believe is the best rubber out there. i wear a 10.5 street shoe, and went with a 9.5 in these. the first couple days were pretty agonizing, but after a while they were quite comfortable, and the performance fit is well worth it. my only concern is that i am beginning to see glue from where the rubber toe cap was. No matter what level of climber you are, This shoe will easily improve your climbing.

ZURICH (AP) — FIFA asked its ethics committee to investigate 16 Caribbean soccer leaders Thursday about a bribery scandal involving former presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam.
The officials are suspected of being offered or taking $40,000 in cash to back Bin Hammam against FIFA President Sepp Blatter, then denying the corruption attempt to investigators led by former FBI director Louis Freeh.
FIFA says the suspects from 11 Caribbean countries include Colin Klass of Guyana, a long-standing ally of former Caribbean soccer strongman Jack Warner. FIFA says Klass has been provisionally suspended.
FIFA said Klass, a member of the governing body's Futsal and Beach Soccer Committee, has been provisionally suspended "after consideration of the specific information received on this matter."
FIFA says the 16 will be invited for new interviews by Freeh's team as part of an investigation led by Robert Torres, a supreme court judge from Guam.
"It is important to note that the investigations are still ongoing, and that it is therefore possible that further proceedings could be opened in the future," FIFA said in a statement.
The list also includes Mark Bob Forde from Barbados, who was a FIFA-approved international referee for almost 20 years.
Haiti federation president Yves Jean-Bart is also under investigation. He made a speech at the FIFA Congress on June 1 criticizing English officials who wanted Blatter's election delayed while corruption allegations were fully investigated.
The second wave of cases follows bin Hammam's life ban last month.
FIFA's ethics panel also suspended two Caribbean Football Union staffers for one year for their part in distributing the cash-stuffed brown envelopes in a Trinidad hotel.
FIFA invited officials from CFU member countries for "truthful and complete reporting" of what happened during the Qatari candidate's May 10 campaign visit to Trinidad.
FIFA's legal process typically means accused officials are called before the ethics panel, which decides if the evidence demands more investigation and a full hearing some weeks later. Those under suspicion face being provisionally suspended from any soccer duty, including contacting other officials and attending national team games.
The scandal threatens to remove some of the Caribbean's most influential soccer leaders during a busy period of 2014 World Cup qualification matches.
Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Guyana — who each have officials on the FIFA list — have been drawn in a four-team, second-round group which is played from September to November. Their group is completed by Bermuda, whose officials were among the original whistleblowers exposing the scandal.
On Wednesday, FIFA suspended its most senior official from Barbados, Lisle Austin, for one year.
Austin, a member of FIFA's referees committee, broke soccer rules by going to an ordinary civil court with a legal grievance against the CONCACAF continental body in the aftermath of the bribery scandal.
Warner resigned all his soccer duties and privileges in June rather than face FIFA justice. A leaked report revealed that the five-man ethics panel believed it had "compelling" evidence of a bribery conspiracy between Warner and his longtime FIFA colleague bin Hammam.
Warner had been an executive committee member for 28 years and was president of CONCACAF and the CFU, representing 25 of the 208 FIFA members.
The Trinidad and Tobago government minister returned to his home island with what FIFA called a "presumption of innocence."

Me. With 1 spouse, 4 kids, 16 chickens, 74 matchbox cars, 968,562+ legos, a dishwasher waiting to be emptied, a washing machine waiting to be filled and a lost cup of tea in the house.
I'm exhausted (physically and emotionally), overwhelmed, depressed, and still think about what could have been. ...
I'm sure that at some point I will turn that corner but I think it won't happen until I'm sleeping at least 3 hours at a time. It is hard, but doable.
I feel like I'm failing a lot of the time. But I believe it will be OK. We will sleep again and we will make it all OK.

You will make it. Sometimes because you have no other choice, and sometimes because you learn so much and have so much more in you that you didn't know you had, and those will be good times.

Not so. With two infants who were breastfed exclusively, and rather high needs, I couldn't go to the grocery store on my own with all of them until after 6 months. I couldn't go on 2 miles walks around my neighborhood until I got a 4 person stroller. I couldn't even play outside with my kids because both babies wanted held all the time.
Four person stroller? Link?!
Oh and I can really relate. I still feel like we can't play outside much. Going to the park alone with all four...still makes me sweat from anxiety and exhaustion.
I don't want help in my house not family not strangers. Can I do that with twins?
I wonder how many people were "happy" straight away when they found out they were having twins?
How/when were you able to get past the fear and grieving to be able to truly rejoice in the pregnancy?
A little off-topic but did you miss the word "breech" (or something else) in here?
I've never heard of a doctor who plans to do a vaginal first twin and and c-sectioned second twin simply because it's a vbac.

We report the preparation and characterization of spherical core-shell structured Fe3O4–Au magnetic nanoparticles, modified with two component self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) consisting of 3–mercaptophenylboronic acid (3–MBA) and 1–decanethiol (1–DT). The rapid and room temperature synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles was achieved using the hydroxylamine reduction of HAuCl4 on the surface of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-immobilized iron (magnetite Fe3O4) nanoparticles in the presence of an aqueous solution of hexadecyltrimetylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a dispersant. The reduction of gold on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles exhibits a uniform, highly stable, and narrow particle size distribution of Fe3O4–Au nanoparticles with an average diameter of 9 ± 2 nm. The saturation magnetization value for the resulting nanoparticles was found to be 15 emu/g at 298 K. Subsequent surface modification with SAMs against glucoside moieties on the surface of bacteria provided effective magnetic separation. Comparison of the bacteria capturing efficiency, by means of different molecular recognition agents 3–MBA, 1–DT and the mixed monolayer of 3–MBA and 1–DT was presented. The best capturing efficiency of
Fabrication of magnetic nanoparticles and their composites has become more popular during last decade due to their potential applications in fields such as medical imaging, drug delivery, therapy, catalysis, and sensors [
Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) has become a very popular approach and involves immobilizing a selective probe, such as antibodies or aptamers, to particles to directly trap target biomolecules from liquid media. In the study of El–Boubbou
The use of magnetic nanoparticles also has advantages in assay sensitivity, speed, and precision. All of the bioseparation and medicinal applications require that these nanoparticles have high magnetization and a small diameter with narrow particle size distribution. In the study of Gupta and Curtis, superparamagnetic nanoparticles with a specific shape and size were prepared and coupled to various proteins. The silica-coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles with the uniform diameter of approximately 60 nm were synthesized and the magnetic nanoparticles were modified with
Micro and nano-structured surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have enabled the detection of pathogens present in biofluids [
Specifically, the method of preparation of the SERS-active substrate and the way in which it is brought in contact with the bacteria have strong effects on the spectra in which differences can be attributed to the above characteristics. The main objective of this study is to develop a simple and effective SERS substrate, which provides a well-defined recognition surface containing the alkyl spacer and phenylboronic acid functional group for antibody-free bacteria detection. The rapid and room temperature reaction synthesis of core–shell Fe3O4–Au structured monodispersed magnetic nanoparticles was achieved using the hydroxylamine reduction of HAuCl4 onto ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-immobilized iron nanoparticles in the presence of an aqueous solution of hexadecyltrimetylammonium bromide (CTAB). The resulting nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and the magnetic properties of the nanoparticles were also examined. Gold-coated iron nanoparticles were modified with two-component self-assembled monolayers consisting of 3–MBA and 1–DT.
To date, several methods have been developed based on wet chemistry approach to synthesize magnetic gold nanoparticles with controllable size and aspect ratios [
Nanoparticles spherical shape can be clearly seen from atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements (
The gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles were also characterized using an XRD method.
The average crystalline size of the Fe3O4 core particles from the XRD pattern with Mo source was calculated by the Scherrer formula using the half-maximum full width of the Fe3O4 (311) peak. For this calculation, the diffractometer contribution to peak size was taken into account. It was found to be 6.1 nm, which is slightly smaller than, but in close agreement with the average particle size of nine nm for this sample derived from the TEM images. The magnetic measurements of the dried samples of the powders were performed at 298 K. The hysteresis loops measured for the uncoated and gold coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles are shown in
A variety of methods for bacterial immobilization are based on antibody–antigen interactions, electrostatic and the physical entrapment of bacteria [
To verify and confirm the SAMs, bacteria binding reactivity and the magnetic separation capability, a colony counting method was used. In this experiment, resulting modified gold iron nanoparticles were coupled to the
The specific reactivity between 3–MBA/1–DT and
To demonstrate the immobilization of core–shell structured magnetic nanoparticles with different functional groups and
We also carried out TEM experiments to demonstrate the immobilization of the magnetic nanoparticles on bacteria at high amplification. From TEM image as shown in
The molecular specificity of the SERS technique was studied by comparing the SERS spectrum of
The identification of bacterial samples by SERS have also been conducted by mixing suspension of bacteria with suspension of 3-MBA/1-DT, 3–MBA, 1–DT, CTAB–modified colloidal magnetic nanoparticles as shown in
FeSO47H2O, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, sulphuric acid, and Tween 20 were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). Hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) hydrate, FeCl3, 11–mercaptoundecanoic acid (11–MUA), 3–mercaptopropionic acid (3–MPA), hexadecyltrimetyl–ammonium bromide (CTAB), 98% ethanolamine, 3–MBA acid, 1–DT, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 2–morpholinoethanesulphonic acid monohydrate (MES), and absolute ethanol were obtained from Sigma–Aldrich (Taufkirchen, Germany). NaCl, Na2HPO4, and KH2PO4 were obtained from J.T. Baker (Deventer, The Netherlands), and were used as phosphate buffered saline (PBS). All reagents were used as received.
Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (67 mM, pH 7.4) was prepared by using Na2HPO4, KH2PO4, and NaCl and the pH was adjusted with HCl or NaOH). PBST solution was prepared by mixing 67 mM, PBS, pH 7.4 with 0.05% Tween 20 (
The Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation of Fe (II) and Fe (III). The Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratio was kept at 0.5 in an alkaline solution. Briefly, 1.28 M FeCl3 and 0.64 M FeSO4·7H2O were dissolved in deionized water. The solution was then stirred vigorously until the iron salts were dissolved. Subsequently, a 100 mL solution of 1 M NaOH was added drop-wise into the mixture whilst stirring for 40 min. Precipitated magnetite is black in color. The black precipitate was collected on a permanent magnet and washed with deionized water. To obtain oxidized Fe3O4 nanoparticles, the resulting salt precipitates were first washed in 2 M HClO4 for three hours to oxidize iron salts and the color of the particle became brown under an argon atmosphere. The particles were then centrifuged for 20 min at 10,000 rpm. Subsequently, the supernatant solution was discarded and washed with deionized water. The washing procedure was performed three times.
The Au shell coating procedure was carried out in the presence of CTAB in order to encapsulate the iron nanoparticles with gold shells. Briefly, 10 mg Fe3O4 nanoparticles were suspended in 5 mL water before 0.27 M EDTA prepared in 1 M NaOH was added. The resulting solution was stirred in a sonicator for five minutes. The particles were then centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000 rpm. Subsequently, the supernatant was discarded and the particles washed with deionized water. The washing procedure was performed three times. The resulting precipitate was mixed with 7 mL 0.1 M CTAB, 3 mL 0.01 M HAuCl4 and 300 μL 1 M NaOH. The solution was then stirred vigorously and, subsequently, 150 mg hydroxylamine was added to the mixture and stirred vigorously for three minutes. The resulting nanoparticle solution color was dark red. The solution was stored at room temperature for 24 hours before use.
To fabricate the capture probe for
Bacteria (1 mL of
The capturing efficiency is described as the difference between the number of initial bacteria and the number of unbound and loosely bound bacteria divided by the initial number of bacteria multiplied by a hunderd. The number of unbound bacteria was determined using plate counting method as described above. It is also given as the formula below, where Nib is number of initial bacteria and Nub is number of unbounded bacteria:
The usability of the developed core–shell magnetic nanoparticles was investigated by magnetic separation of
For SEM images, samples of nanoparticle-bacteria conjugates were placed on small pieces of cover slips. They were then fixed overnight in 4% glutaraldehyde buffered with 0.2 M sodium phosphate (pH 7), and washed three times with 0.2 M sodium phosphate (pH 7) buffer. This was followed by dehydration in a graded series of ethanol (70, 80, 90, and 100%). Cells were then added to amyl acetate. The sample was next critical-point dried with CO2 (Polaron, CPD 7501) and coated with gold (Polaron SC 502 sputter coater). For TEM image, a small drop of the sample of nanoparticle-bacteria conjugates is deposited on the formvar-carbon coated grid, washed with deionized water, negatively stained with 2% uranyl acetate and examined by transmission electron microscope at 80 KV.
Optical absorption spectroscopy measurements were performed in a Spectronics, Genesis model single beam spectrophotometer using 1 cm path length quartz cuvettes. Spectra were collected within a range of 300–800 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples were prepared by pipetting 10 μL of nanoparticle solution onto Formvar-Carbon coated copper grids and allowing the solution to stand for 10 min. TEM measurements were performed with the Tecnai G2 F30 instrument at 120 kV. TEM image of
DeltaNu Examiner Raman microscope (Deltanu Inc., Laramie, WY, USA) with a 785 nm laser source, a motorized microscope stage sample holder, and a CCD detector was used to detect
AFM characterizations of nanoparticles were performed by using a NT-MDT Pro Solver M atomic force microscope with semi-contact mode. AFM images were taken with Super Sharp, Diamond like Carbon (NSG\DLC 01) tips with curvature radius of 1–3 nm. Nanoparticles were scanned 2.08 Hz with resolution of 256 lines per image. For AFM measurements, nanoparticles were diluted and ultrasonicated in the Ortho-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) for 15 min and 10 μL of this dilution was dropped on to gold-coated mica substrate.
In this study, the immobilization efficiencies of SAMs consisting of 3–MBA, 1–DT, the mixed monolayer of 3–MBA and 1–DT and CTAB were evaluated. Suitable surface attachment chemistries provided the direct immobilization of biological recognition groups onto the surface of nanoparticles. This group successfully attached molecular recognition groups onto magnetic nanoparticle surfaces with immobilization procedures that were based on the use of multi-component self-assembled monolayers on nanoparticles as platforms for surface modification. Nevertheless, the choice of functional groups applied is a crucial factor affecting the stability of magnetic nanoparticles. CTAB-modified nanoparticles exhibited higher stabilities compared to MBA- and DT-modified nanoparticles. The fabrication of high quality hybrid core–shell nanoparticles endowed with sensing ability using optical and magnetic properties could show a novel SERS platform. The present work also demonstrated the effective magnetic separation for bacteria detection based on an alkanethiolate group that acts as a partition layer and phenyl boronic acid group as a complexing agent on a magnetic nanoparticle surface for capturing bacteria. The results demonstrated a molecular recognition agent mixed monolayer of SAM consisting of 3–MBA and 1–DT. For bacterial immobilization, surface polysaccharides could be targeted that are tightly attached to the bacterial cell wall. Direct attachment of biomolecules to functionalized nanoparticles is the preferred method of immobilization because of the increased stability. In addition, the presence of an organic thin film between the metal substrate and the biomolecule tends to minimize the problem of denaturation. Furthermore, non-specific adsorption can be minimized by the appropriate choice of SAM composition. Although there are several works published on related developments of SERS-based bacteria detection, the functional properties of the magnetic nanoparticles could give us an opportunity to perform the IMS and SERS detection.

>General Running>Training.
There is no such thing as a point, in itself. The determination of a point always requires relating that point to its coordinates on a Cartesian line or a plane. And even then, as Einstein taught us, we are not referring to a reality, but to a tool invented by Descartes and others in a certain historical era for certain purposes--and not others.
How To Run a Marathon: Step 1 - start running. There is no Step 2.
Mitch & Pete's Mom
I'm just an English major, so I find myself wholly unequipped to appreciate the nuances here. What I do know, however, that my next marathon is on January 18, 2009. That's 95 days, 20 hours, and 30 minutes from now. It's not going to move, even if Einstein & Descartes rise from the dead and request a postponement. So if I want to run my best race, I'd better plan to peak in 95 days, 20 hours, and 30 minutes.
In regards to Speed vs. Endurance; I think it all depends on how you react to it. Some react very well with speed. In such case, there's no point of "sharpening" 6 months prior to THE race. Like I said, it would be very difficult to maintain that focus on speed. You might get sharpened up in 2 weeks and then what would you do the rest of 5.5 months?
Now Dr. Canova's approach is quite interesting and reminds me of how Steve Spence trained. Jeff Johnson also told me that, when he experimented backwards Lydiard, he said he had the least injury problem with the girls he was coaching.
Thank you all for this thread, I find it interesting. That said, I'm not as advanced as most of you and I wonder if incorporating periodization is something that can scale for everyone or am I better off just working on consistency?
The Logic of Long Distance
Running is stupid
the Humpty Dumpty of running
Hah. Yes, indeed. I believe you are referring to what, in hippie speak, we call The Moment of Truth.
Thank you all for this thread, I find it interesting. That said, I'm not as advanced as most of you and I wonder if incorporating periodization is something that can scale for everyone or am I better off just working on consistency? Perhaps periodization could help with consistency, as it give you a mental and physical break? I'm currently doing a combo of the Cool Runnings beginner and intermediate 1/2 marathon trainig schedule and incorporating hills, intervals and tempo. My next race is November 16 but there is another race in January that is a possibility.
Nobby? Anyone?
I think, basically, you have certain elements that need to be developed; whether you choose to call them; aerobic, anaerobic and speed (as Lydiard would) or others, it really doesn't matter. I'd even throw "muscle power" just to satisfy one individual (;o)), but the whole point is; you need to develop them ALL one way or the other. In fact, there's some more like coordination or kick or aclimatization and all as well. You need to figure out what need to be developed and what workouts would best develop them, when it should be fitted in to your program and how long would it take FOR YOU to develop it to the maximum.
I personally believe it would be so much more beneficial to do something shorter and faster; instead of doing 800m repeats, do 120m repeats with plenty of rest in between. To me, if you're doing 800m at, say, 10-minute pace (5 minutes) or so, you're what I call "no-man's land". You're not quite doing them FAST; you're not quite covering enough distance either. It's a tough workout and you'll get very tired, particularly if your aerobic base is still very low.
I'm not sure if he does anything shorter but I did think that was interesting that an 800m specialist would avoid a 200 meter workout.
That is extremely surprising. You can get a lot of work at 800m race pace by doing 200s. Running at race pace for the 800m is essential to (among other things) teach the body to hold form when it is going fast. 800m races are won by runners that, in the final stretch, slow down the least and hold form the best.
what do you need?

Mark Steven Johnson Driving Autobahn
He'll direct the car thriller
After the critical and audience bashing handed out to When in Rome, you might forgive Mark Steven Johnson for skipping movies for a while. But he's back in the driver's seat for a project called Autobahn.
Written by Greg Russo, the film – which used to be called I-95 – has now been transplanted from its original America-land setting to the wide, speed-happy roads of Germany, where a washed-up former Formula One driver awakens trapped in a BMW at the side of the road.
A phone starts to ring in the glove box, and when he picks up, he's chillingly told that the car is one giant bomb and he must drive it to a specific target or his wife and daughter will be killed. Cue some speed. Or, actually, Speed, by the sound of it. That crossed with bits of Cellular. And maybe Phone Booth.
Inferno Entertainment is backing the project and is looking to track down a cast before selling the rights to the movie at this November's American Film Market. Maybe they should call John Cusack, who almost got to star in a similar-sounding project called Stopping Power a few years ago…

Past Productions
Artistic Director, Andi C. Trindle, has been producing and performing in SanFrancisco theater for more than 13 years, but Triple Shot Productions' history began in June of 2007 with a mission and a vision, followed by extensive planning for its inaugural production in 2008.
It's been said that 'Love Is a Game.' If this is true, then Kent and Marjorie are experienced—if somewhat jaded-- players. From their first date, they find that they are geeks of a feather. Raised in the Atari Age, they've pursued careers on opposite sides industry: video game developer and critic. But with heart meters running from full to almost empty, will the game end in defeat, or will they put it all on the line for Just One More Game?
Triple Shot Productions performed the world premiere of local San Francisco playwright Dan Wilson's play Harvesting the Lost in September, 2010. Harvesting the Lost tells the tale of Ruth and Amanda, a young couple working their way through the seemingly typical struggles of the modern era: ailing parents, emotionally and physically distant families, dissatisfaction and the fear of losing it, and the omnipresent spectre of homelessness. When Ruth suddenly vanishes for three days, and returns with impossible tales of alien abduction and conspiracy, Amanda must decide who she loves more: her partner or herself.
The One-Eyed Man is King, a charming and witty modern fable that challenges our view of a "normal" life — and "normal" love. Lise, trying to cope with the impending loss of a terminally ill husband — and the recriminations of an angry stepdaughter — is confronted in her home one night by the charismatic thief Bendalli, a blind man who struggles to "see" his way into the lives of others. The pair form an unlikely bond, and when lines of sight and vision begin to blur, both find their approach to the world dramatically altered.
The production featured actors, Andi Trindle (Lise) and Dan Wilson (Bendalli), starring opposite one another along with newcomer Allie Jones, who brought high energy to the character Elliot. Riches Director, Bahati Bonner, returned to lead this experienced cast.
Trindle chose Riches, by the award-winning playwright Lee Blessing, as Triple Shot Productions first production. Riches reunited collaborators from Nora (A Dollhouse) (2004), to portray an "everything is right" marriage in which everything goes horribly wrong. Riches starred Ms. Trindle and Mr. Wilson, each critically acclaimed in their most recent projects, as the troubled couple Mr. and Mrs. Rich. Bahati Bonner led the production as director for this successful project.

Comeback falls short as Rays drop 7-5 game to Jays
by Steve Carney
Jake Odorizzi had a good first start as a Tampa Bay Ray, but the bullpen couldn't keep the game even, as Edwin Encarnacion broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh en route to a 7-5 win for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Toronto attacked Odorizzi, making his Rays debut, early, as Melky Cabrera led off the bottom of the first with a single. Edwin Encarnacion singled Cabrera to third base, and Adam Lind's sacrifice fly not only scored Cabrera, but thanks to a throwing error by Yunel Escobar, Encarnacion took third base. A triple by Brett Lawrie then plated Encarnacion to make it 2-0.
Tampa Bay got one run back in the second, as Longoria singled, moved to second on a passed ball, took third on a groundout, and after a walk to Luke Scott, scored on a fielder's choice by Sam Fuld.
Toronto re-established their two-run lead in their half of the second, as Henry Blanco reached on a controversial one-out double (replay showed Blanco was out at second base, but umpire C.B. Bucknor called him safe), and scored on a double by Cabrera two batters later.
The Rays pulled even in the third, as Matt Joyce drew a two-out walk from R.A. Dickey. Zobrist then singled, and both runners came in as Longoria doubled over Jose Bautista's head in right field.
The game remained tied until the seventh inning, when Josh Lueke walked Emilio Bonifacio, Munenori Kawasaki and Jose Bautista to load the bases before Edwin Encarnacion unloaded them with a double off the left-field wall and make it 6-3.
Kawasaki added a fourth run to the lead an inning later with an RBI triple in the eighth.
Yunel Escobar blasted a two-out two-run homer off Casey Janssen, who also allowed a single to Desmond Jennings and a walk to Matt Joyce before Ben Zobrist struck out on three pitches to end the game.
Tampa Bay will look to start a new winning streak Tuesday evening, when Alex Cobb (4-2, 2.89 ERA) takes on Ramon Ortiz (1-1, 2.35 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 7:07, with coverage on 620 WDAE / 95.3 FM at 6:00 with the Suncoast Hyundai Dealers Inside Pitch.

This week has been an unusual one in Mobile Tech Manor, my home office, due to a quick trip to San Francisco. These trips take up a fair bit of time for the planning, and doing any prep work that must be done for the meetings that are the purpose of the trip. I am writing this in my hotel room in San Francisco, after spending a few hours with the GigaOM team. Come in for a visit and we'll talk about the past week in MTM.
This week saw me doing another flip-flop on my working browser, something I do from time to time. I have switched to using Safari full-time on the MacBook, which is my main desktop system. I love Firefox, don't get me wrong, but I spend so much time in the browser that I need it to be as fast as possible. I tested the latest version of Safari and found it to be faster than Firefox, so I have switched back to Safari for now.
I still use Firefox on Windows, because I don't find Safari to work as well as either Firefox or Chrome on that OS. I find Firefox to be the best on Windows, so that's what I use. I am able to keep Firefox and Safari bookmarks in sync using Xmarks on both the Mac and Windows. It sure makes it easier to switch back and forth as needed with no penalty as far as bookmarks are concerned.
Palm at hand
The good folks at Verizon (s vz) sent me a Pre Plus (s palm) and a Pixi Plus to evaluate. Both of these phones are available from Verizon, in fact Big Red has the exclusive on them both.
Overall I like both phones, although they can be a tad sluggish at times. This happens mostly when there is a lot going on. I must confess that even though the screen is smaller on the Pixi Plus, I am finding it to be the phone I prefer using. The Pre Plus is nice enough, but having the keyboard always available on the Pixi Plus is convenient. Sliding the Pre up to expose the keyboard has never felt totally natural, and the Pre Plus is the same.
The keyboards on both phones are roughly the same size and easy to use. The keyboard on the Pre Plus does have a mild curvature to it that the Pixi Plus lacks. In other words the rows of keys are in a slight "smile" shape, while the Pixi Plus rows of keys are straight across. I have to admit I don't feel any difference typing on either one, so for me the difference is rather moot.
I have been testing the Palm Mobile Hotspot that is available on both the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus. A special Mobile Hotspot plan is required for $40 monthly, that is on top of the $30 monthly smartphone data plan required with these phones. Some folks may find that price to be reasonable as the Mobile Hotspot allows up to five devices to be tethered to the phone over Wi-Fi for sharing the 3G connection.
It's a nice arrangement but I have run into an issue while testing the Mobile Hotspot in Houston. The bandwidth has been consistently slow using the Hotspot function on both phones, especially when compared to speeds obtained with the MiFi which uses the same 3G network as the phones. I'm not sure what is causing my consistently bad results in Houston, I have tested it here in San Francisco and have seen good bandwidth on both phones. It seems to be a Houston thing, although the MiFi doesn't reflect the bad connection speeds that I see on the phones.
Some folks like to know what mobile gear I bring on trips like the one I am on now, and I am sharing that with you now. This trip is only a two day trip, my favorite kind as I can travel as light as I want with no ramifications.
To that end here's my SF mobile kit that I am using:
- MacBook (13-inch)
- 2nd MacBook battery
- MiFi
- iPhone 3G
- Palm Pre
- Kindle 2
This kit is nice and light yet fully functional. I meant to bring the new Magic Mouse along for the ride, but I ran out and forgot to throw it in the bag. I am finding I don't really miss it that much as the MacBook trackpad is more than adequate.
I also threw the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus in the gear bag, but that was only to show some of the GigaOM folks who wanted to check them out. I didn't even bring the chargers for them.
e-Books of the week
This week I continued the epic journey into the world of the Wit'ch series by James Clemens I started last week. I am already in Book 4, Wit'ch Gate, as I can't put them down. There is more action in these books than many fantasy books, and the story is told in great style. I am sad there is only one more book to go.
It's after midnight and I am running out of steam so I'd better bring this to a close. I have an early morning too, so I've got to get some sleep. I hope you enjoyed this week's column and that you'll come back next week.

by Kathryn Hansen for NASA Earth News
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Mar 06, 2014
At night, as cold settles in, lake ice creaks and groans. It's been excessively cold, and I camped exposed on the snow-swept surface. Other than the lack of vegetation and the sounds at night, you'd never know you were on a lake. It feels like an empty plain. In some places, you see pressure ridges where ice has pushed into itself, sticking up like clear blue stegosaurus plates. -- Craig Childs
Author Craig Childs is not describing an Arctic lake. He's describing the bitterly cold and frozen scene on Lake Superior, during his February 2014 trek on the ice near the coast of Ashland, Wisconsin.
Zoom out to view the scene from a satellite perspective and it's apparent that Lake Superior is not the only lake to feel the freeze. The true-color image above, from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite, shows the mostly frozen state of the Great Lakes on Feb. 19. On that date, ice spanned 80.3 percent of the lakes, according to NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The ice reached an even greater extent on Feb. 13, when it covered about 88 percent of the Great Lakes - coverage not achieved since 1994, when ice spanned over 90 percent. In addition to this year, ice has covered more than 80 percent of the lakes in only five other years since 1973. The average annual maximum ice extent in that time period is just over 50 percent. The smallest maximum ice cover occurred in 2002, when only 9.5 percent of the lakes froze over.
Scientists say it's understandable that the Great Lakes have had so much ice this year considering the cold temperatures in the region that persisted through the winter. Cold air temperatures remove heat from the water until it reaches the freezing point, at which point ice begins to form on the surface, explained Nathan Kurtz, cryospheric scientist NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
"Persistently low temperatures across the Great Lakes region are responsible for the increased areal coverage of the ice," Kurtz said. "Low temperatures are also the dominant mechanism for thickening the ice, while secondary factors like clouds, snow, and wind also play a role."
The freeze this year has local implications, including possible changes to snowfall amounts in the Great Lakes area, explained Walt Meier, also a cryospheric scientist at NASA Goddard. When the lakes are primarily open water, cold air picks up moisture from the relatively warm and moist lake water, often resulting in lake effect snow on the lee side of the lakes, on the eastern and southern shores. When the lakes freeze, the lake effect generally shuts down. "Although this year, they're still picking up a fair amount of snow," Meier said.
Lake levels could also see an impact by summer, as winter ice cover generally reduces the amount of water available to evaporate during winter months. If that turns out to be the case, it would be "good news for local water supplies, as well as for shipping and recreational use," Meier said.
It remains to be seen when the Great Lakes will once again freeze to the extent reached in 2014, or at least enough to allow adventurers to reach the ice caves at Lake Superior's Apostle Islands National Lakeshore by foot.
A 2012 study in the Journal of Climate by scientists at NOAA's Great Lakes lab, which included data from MODIS, found that winter season ice cover on Lake Superior has decreased 79 percent from 1973 to 2010. The study also showed that ice cover on the lakes is highly variable and difficult to predict.
The harsh season this year "is a reminder that winters are variable and that weather can always throw an outlier our way," said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and climate modeler at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Talk about a cool idea.
When number crunching started to wear thin, globetrotters Helen Yung and Jan Wichayanuparp left the world of finance for the world of ice cream — and the Valley's better for it.
Their adorable, citrus-hued ice cream shop, Sweet Republic, opened last year with a distinctive point of view and a uniquely tasty product that attracted the attention of foodies well beyond the vicinity of the Shea Boulevard strip mall where they sell a rotating selection of freshly made frozen treats. Earlier this year, they even got a nod from Bon Appetit magazine, which included them in a list of "Best Ice Cream Shops" in the whole U.S. of A.
Yung and Wichyanuparp's luscious, artisanal ice cream is free of artificial ingredients, made with rBST-free milk, and is homemade in every aspect, from the brownie chunks in the Brownie Swirl ice cream to the cones they scoop it into. In addition, the shop itself is sustainably designed and features free Wi-Fi, making it a fun place to chill — literally.
Although Sweet Republic always keeps such classic flavors as Belgian chocolate and vanilla bean in regular rotation, Yung and Wichyanuparp's experience living in such far-flung places as London, Hong Kong, and Singapore shows up in the more exotic flavors. Salted butter caramel and the Cheese Course Duo (Roquefort blue cheese ice cream with Medjool dates) have become cult favorites, and depending on the day, they might even have bacon ice cream.
From their regular posts on Twitter to their appearances at First Fridays in their ice cream bus, the Sweet Republic gals are impressively proactive in getting the word out about their scrumptious creations.
But trust us: Ice cream this good still speaks for itself.
To the uninitiated, chef Joshua Hebert's contemporary American restaurant concept may take some getting used to. He calls it "improvisational cuisine," and in the same way that a jazz musician gets in a groove and spins off an impromptu melody, Hebert plays around with ingredients in unexpected, unpredictable ways. And while some of the Valley's top chefs are constantly tweaking their menus based on what's in season, Hebert eschews a menu altogether. Instead, guests guide their dining experience with a checklist indicating how many courses they'd like, which featured meat and seafood appeals (or doesn't appeal) to them, whether they'll eat raw foods, and any other preferences. (If it's reminiscent of omakase dining at a sushi bar, where you trust the chef to feed you well, that's because Hebert did a stint at Tokyo's Miyako Hotel several years back.) Beyond that, dinner is a series of tasty surprises — scallop carpaccio with radish, pickled grapes, and squash blossom pesto; foie gras with citrus coulis and spun sugar; mushroom-braised veal with morels, peas and fresh mint. Seafood is Hebert's forte, but he's also fond of the exotic, like roasted kangaroo. To be sure, the Posh kitchen can handle the most finicky diners, but the customers who'll have the most fun will simply leave their meal in Hebert's capable hands.
Now this is what we call progress. After years of light-rail construction — when the streets were torn up, local businesses took a hit, and most of us avoided the area altogether — the Central Corridor has bounced back in a big way. Our favorite sign is the emergence of new restaurants along the rail path, exemplified by a charming neighborhood spot called Maizie's Café & Bistro.
Just steps from the station at Camelback and Central, it's hip, affordable, and friendly, thanks to the hospitality of the Miller family, who opened this place last year. And the menu at Maizie's has personality, from the "not your average quesadilla" (Brie, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and pine nuts in a spinach tortilla), to the bacon- and blue cheese-stuffed "inside out" burger, to the breakfast pizza (served on weekends). If Maizie's is a sign of good things to come along the light rail, it's a bright future, indeed.
In the midst of a gloomy summer that saw the demise of too many favorite Valley restaurants, the debut of The Parlor was undoubtedly a bright spot. To stop by on a weeknight in July (when many places in town were scraping by) you would've been fooled into thinking you were here on a weekend during tourist season, in a much better economy. What is everyone lining up for? A recession-proof menu of pizzas from the wood-fired oven (we love the one with Schreiner's sausage), handmade pastas, sandwiches, and killer craft cocktails like the basil gimlet, made with fresh herbs from the restaurant's own garden.
The atmosphere's great, too, thanks to an eco-friendly renovation of the 53-year-old building, which used to house Salon de Venus. That's right, father-and-son owners Dan and Aric Mei (who own Nello's in Ahwatukee) have tranformed a beauty parlor into a pizza parlor — and it's every bit the hit we'd hoped for.
The historic Coronado District's restaurant row, stretching along Seventh Street between McDowell and Thomas, is full of great restaurants, but to get to one of our favorite spots in the area, you'll have to take a small detour. Nestled in the residential heart of the neighborhood, Tuck Shop does have an unlikely location (before its opening, some locals pitched a fit, and the city had to limit its business hours to dinner). Still, it's worth seeking out for its cozy mid-century atmosphere and its Southern-influenced comfort food.
Fried chicken, red beans and rice with sausage and Creole shrimp, and juicy skirt steak with mashed Yukon potatoes are just a few highlights. Tuck Shop also has a reasonably priced wine list and excellent cocktails. As you can probably tell, Tuck Shop is quite a find.
To walk into Joe's Real BBQ, right in the middle of downtown Gilbert, you'd think you'd stepped right back in time to the 1940s. The building itself, all gorgeous red brick, was constructed in 1929 as a Safeway Pay'n'Takit (ah, they just don't make 'em like they used to), while the restored John Deere tractor in the middle of the dining room is an authentic '40s relic. And just like an old-fashioned cafeteria, you grab a tray and get in line to order up plates of slow-cooked meats smoked over pecan wood — beef brisket, luscious pulled pork, and pork ribs so tender you'll gnaw them down to the bones. Homemade root beer and retro sodas in glass bottles only add to the vintage vibe. Amazingly, Joe's Real BBQ has been in business since only the late '90s, but it's still a total blast from the past.

Ivy League Release
Penn Softball on Twitter | Live Stats | Live Streaming
PHILADELPHIA – Sophomore pitcher Alexis Borden has dominated opposing batters throughout the 2013 season, and that was highlighted this past week as she was named Ivy League Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday.
Borden started two games this past week, going the distance for the win in both, and is now 5-6 on the season. The Yorba Linda, Calif. native struck out 18 over 14 innings pitched in starts against Lehigh and Holy Cross, and sent down a career-high-tying 12 batters in her start against the Crusaders. Additionally, she now has 268 career strikeouts, tying her for the most in program history.
The stud hurler has allowed just three runs in her last 39 innings pitched and leads the Quakers with a 1.62 ERA. Also, with her five wins this season, she now has 29 for her career, needing just two more to tie her atop the Penn record books for the all-time lead. With four games this weekend, two against Harvard on Friday and two against Dartmouth the following day, Borden will most likely have the opportunity at a couple more victories and ultimately earn her record-tying 31st.
Borden will lead the Red and Blue against the Crimson at Penn Park on Friday in a doubleheader beginning at 2 p.m. for their Ivy League opener. Live stats and live radio will be available all weekend and make sure to follow @UPennSoftball for live in-game updates and conversation for all four contests.

Indianopolis Colts
- 2004 season- 12-4, loss in divisional round
Head Coach: Tony Dungy
Can Air Peyton Fly Colts to Detroit?
The past two years, Tony Dungy has guided the Colts to a division title and a playoff rout of Denver (in 2003, an upset of KC as well), and both times the same thing ended Peyton Manning's quest for a ring: The New England Patriots. Last year Manning shattered Dan Marino's TD record and had one of the finest seasons ever by a QB. yet, when he went to snowy Foxboro to face the Patriots, who were missing their two starting cornerbacks, and were down to Asante Samuel and undrafted FA Randall Gay, he could only muster a lousy FG in a 20-3 loss. Is this the year Manning finally beats Brady. Or will we get another Sportscenter full of those head shots of a snowy, distraugh, puzzled Manning and the trademark Patriot victroy? For the Colts, its more about getting a better defense than the offense. On offense, the Colts are set as long as Edge returns. With Edge, Manning will keep the defense respecting the running game, even though anyone could run for 1000 yards in teh Colts offense. hell, even dominic rhodes did it a couple of years ago! With Edge running, and Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Brandon Stokley, and TE Dallas Clark catching balls, the Colts offense will fire on all cylinders. Manning won't approach last years numbers now that cornerbacks have adjusted to the contact rules, but we can expect a 4000 yard, 30 TD performance. Marvin will catch around 90 balls for 1400 yards, Wayne will get 70 for 1200, and Stokley and Clark will combine for another 1200 or so. The Colts first round pick Marlin Jackson will figure in right away. personal problems stopped him from going even higher than the late first round, but jackson has a boatload of potential. Freeney and Mathis will get the sacks, expect Freeney to go to the pro bowl again. its the linebackers: Morris, Thornton, and June, who need to step it up this year. they need to make the run defense sturdy. Expect Bob Sanders to emerge as a star this year. The Colts will lose their opener to Baltimore, but won't lose again until-- you guessed it, Week 10 at Foxboro. Despite the loss, Peyton and the Colts still have the oppurtunity to clinch home field advantage in the playoffs, which would be crucial to beat the Patriots, but stunning home losses to the Titans and Chargers derail that
Projected Finish
12-4, AFC South Champions
Offensive MVP- Peyton Manning
Defensive MVP- Dwight Freeney
Breakout Player- Bob Sanders
Tennessee Titans
- 2004 record- 5-11
Head Coach- Jeff Fisher
Underdog Titans Ready To Surprise Everyone
Yup, they are the Tennessee Titans. and i am picking them over jacksonville to finish second in the division? the team that lost mason, rolle, dyson, and carter? why? because i think jeff fisher is going to get his guys motivated after last years dissapointing 5-11 campaing, and the fact that eveyone is picking them to pick in the Top 3. This year though, they'll have MVP Steve McNair ready to play every week, and playmaker Tyrone Calico healthy. Him and Drew Bennett will form a very potent WR duo, and this team will score plenty of points with McNair, Chris Brown and Travis Henry in the backfield, and Bennett and the freakishly athletic Calico catching balls and Norm Chow calling the plays. I think they can work through their shaky offensive line, and so the real question is on defense. People will ask how this team's defense will improve w/ the losses of Rolle and Dyson, and Carter? For one thing, Kevin Carter had jsut 6 sacks last year, easily replaceable. And while Samari Rolle is healthy and ready to go for the Ravens, he was injured last year and has been a bit inconsistent the past couple of years. THe losses of Rolle and Dyson still hurt very much, but Pac Man Jones can help heal the pain. hes a playmaker on D, he'll be a fan favorite and a Pro Bowler in Nashville. Albert Haynesworth and Randy Starks are both young and extremely talented, and i think both of them will excel this year. Starks was playing so well at thend of the year, i think his success will carry on to this year and he'll make the Pro Bowl. Tank Williams is a top notch safety and IMO, keith bulluck is the best OLB in the NFL. So this defense will make enough stops to win some games. The Titans will start slowly, losing their first 4 games and 5 of their first 7, but a 5 game winning streak will put this team back in contention before tough losses to Houston and Jacksonville take them out of playoff contention. Still, a huge success and i think Jeff Fisher will warrant COY consideration.
Projected Finish
9-7, 2nd in AFC South
Offensive MVP: Steve McNair
Defensive MVP: Keith Bulluck
Breakout Player: (Tie)Tyrone Calico and Randy Starks
Jacksonville Jaguars
head coach: Jack Del Rio
Playoffs or bust for Jags
Jack Del Rio has made stunning leaps in his first two years at Jacksonville, but now in his third year, his own success has put the pressure on him to make the playoffs. Can Byron and Co. do it? not this year. Byron Leftwich is still too inconsistent as a passer, and his recieveing corps isn't exaclty very strong. Aside from Jimmy Smith, noone has proved themselves. Reggie Williams slumped in his rookie year, and Matt Jones figures to do the same. He'll be primarily a red zone target, he'll probaly catch 5 TD passes, but only 20 passes in total. Del Rio needs Earnest Wilford and Williams to develop, and he needs to pray that Fred Taylor is healthy the entire year after they lost out on teh Travis Henry sweepstakes. I think Taylor will miss a couple of games, and Toefield and Greg Jones will not be able to provide the same kind of running game. it'll hurt the offense immensley. On defense, the line is stellar w/ Stroud and Hayward leading the way. Marcellus Wiley has also been signed by the Jags and the Cowboys bust will line up opposite Hayward. Rashean Mathis should become a household name, he looked impressive last year. You would think Donovan Darius would have alienated himself against his teammates after his public request, including in a Minnesota newspaper, to be traded to the Vikings. but his hard hitting style is staying in redneck florida. while this D is very good, its not good enough to win them games where the offense struggles. I'm expecting to see several defensive struggles go the opposite way, and the Jags will miss out on teh playoffs.
Projected Finish
8-8, 3rd in AFC South
Offensive MVP- Fred Taylor
Defensive MVP- Reggie Hayward
Breakout player- Rashean Mathis
Houston Texans
- 2004 Record- 7-9
Head Coach: Dom Capers[/size]
The Question for Texans Fans: Are we destined to be a .500 Team Every Year?
The Texans are still a very young team, but it is still extremely discouraging to watch a talented team like this one play so inconsistently. Some days, they're playing awesome, and some, like week 17 of last season, are just plain awful. in week 17, the 7-8 Texans lost to the 3-12 Browns. The Front office decided they needed to shore up the defense. they drafted travis johnson, who will be very good, but their other moves were very questionable. They traded to get Philip Buchanon, a highly overrated young CB. They also cut ties with stud LB Jamie Sharper, opting to overpay overrated Chiefs LB Morlon Greenwood. Dunta Robinson will be his usual awesome self, but the rest of the defense looks pretty ugly. Johnson and Robinson will likely be the only bright spots on that defense. Jason Babin, though, looks like he might join Robinson and Johnson on that list. I think hes in for a big year. maybe 8 to 10 sacks. on offense, the Texans almost traded for Orlando Pace, which would have been a great deal for them, and then they traded away the chance to draft Jamaal Brown or Alex Barron, so the Offensive line still looks like a weakness. Getting speedster Jerome Mathis in the 4th round was a steal, but it still looks like Andre Johnson will be the only consistent threat at WR. Domanick Davis and Vernand Morency should form a nice one two punch. David Carr will likely have another so so year, and Texan fans will be left trying to remember what it was like to win back to back games.
Projected Finish
5-11, 4th in AFC South
Offensive MVP- Andre Johnson
Defensive MVP- Dunta Robinson
Breakout Player- Jason Babin
