TORONTO - As a golfer, Ron Wilson admits hell enjoy NHL realignment because it means three visits by the Maple Leafs to both Florida and Tampa Bay instead of the current two.
Truth be told, we hockey scribes wont mind more trips to the Sunshine State, land of coconut oil and marguaritas.
In fact, given the number of Snowbirds who flock from Canada to Florida each and every winter, it will almost feel as if the Leafs have additional home games on the sked when you consider how many Toronto fans attend contests in Tampa and Sunrise whenever the blue-and-white are in town.
Indeed, when you dissect how the new format will effect the Maple Leafs in the coming weeks, there are no shortage of pros and cons.
In a nutshell, the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning will join the five teams in the Northeast Division the Leafs, Canadiens, Senators, Bruins and Sabres in one of four new conferences that will be implimented next season. Each of these seven teams will play each other six times (three at home, three on the road).
The Leafs will meet the 23 teams outside their conference twice once at home, once on the road.
What are some of the highlights (and lowlights)?
- Sidney Crosbys Penguins and Alex Ovechkins Capitals will come to the Air Canada Centre just once per season instead of the normal two. Demand for tickets when Sid The Kid comes to town will be even higher now, if thats possible.
- The Detroit Red Wings, an Original Six Rival of the Leafs, will appear at the ACC once per season. Given the geographical and historic ties between these two franchises, its about time. Under the old system, the Wings only came here once every two seasons.
- Steven Stamkos grew up in Unionville/Markham as a Leafs fan. Now the Tampa Bay Lightning star gets to plays against Toronto two extra times per season.
- Because the top four teams in each division make the post-season, Torontos already heated rivalries with Northeast Division foes Montreal, Buffalo, Boston and Ottawa will become even more intense.
- Under the playoff format, the first two rounds of playoffs pit conference foes against each other, with first meeting fourth and second playing third in the opening round. In other words, a Leafs-Canadiens playoff series (should both teams make it) is more of a probability than it was in recent decades. The two storied rivals have not faced each other in the post-season since 1979.
Like it? Hate it? You have plenty of time to decide.
Now, please, quiet on the tee. Wilson is set to hit.
The Leafs used their team speed to keep the New York Rangers on their collective toes in Mondays 4-2 victory at Madison Square Garden. But it was the muscle they exhibited that was the most impressive aspect of their game. Dion Phaneufs crushing of Michael Sauer in the third period was evidence that there still is room for clean hits in the sport ... Luke Schenn was throwing around his weight as well. The kid is playing outstanding hockey right now. How ridiculous was it that there were actually calls for him to be traded early in the season when he was struggling. That would have been a huge mistake.
With Mikhail Grabovski back at home for the birth of a child, Jay Rosehill took his spot in the lineup and immediately dropped the gloves with the Rangers Brandon Prust. It proved to be one of the more entertaining scraps of the season, much to the glee of the capacity crowd. It was a fitting venue for the bout, since MSG has hosted some of the biggest ones in the world over the years, including some featuring names like Ali and Frazier ... Judging by the number of outraged fans who e-mailed and tweeted after the recent back-to-back losses against Boston, the popular sentiment of Leaf nation seems to be that Wilson should have dressed Rosehill versus the Bruins on Saturday in order to provide some much-needed muscle against Zdeno Chara and friends. It was obvious that the Bruins were trying to bully the Leafs. It worked.
Maple Leafs superfan Mike Waynes World Myers paid a visit to the private box where the fathers of the Leaf players were watching the game. Not only were the dads said to be happy to see Austin Powers, they reportedly gave him a Leafs jersey for Myers son. No word if Myers, a native of Scarborough responded by converting into character by saying Grooo-vy, baby.
Dont like commenting on officiating because usually the calls go both ways. But on this night, the two minors handed out to Tyler Bozak were cheap ... Bozaks defensive play is so much better than it was a year ago. His backcheck on Sean Avery in the first period saved a goal after Jonas Gustavsson flubbed a clearing attempt behind the Toronto net ... Speaking of Gustavsson, the games first star, give him credit for working his way out of the doghouse. Not many figured he would ... Joe Colborne didnt get gobs of ice time, but he is very responsible in his own end ... Guess the Leafs were right in being cautious with Tim Connolly and giving him the time he needs to recover from his various injuries. He now has 14 points in 15 games.

It looks like a McDonald's promotion for Shrek 3 doesn't it? But nonono, this is from Ala Moana's La Palme D'Or! It's their matcha parfait ($3.50), and the ideal, light, Honolulu summertime dessert. Alternating layers of matcha and plain whipped cream, vanilla sponge cake and crushed up macarons, man was it good! It was so hard not to smile and feel all cheerful just looking at this dessert, such happy carefree shades of pastel green and creamy white! They really skimped out on the macarons though, I think there was barely one tiny green matcha macaron, hidden near the bottom. Nonetheless, I took great joy in sinking in my spoon, attempting to get dashes of the two creams, buttery soft cake and macaron crunch into one bite.
The hazelnut chocolate roll was far more beautiful to stare at, but it just didn't have the vibrant spunk of the matcha parfait. A simple, mildly flavored chocolate sponge with hazelnut cream rolled in and dots of toasted hazeulnut halves covering the surface. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the chocolate or hazelnut cream, save for the fact that it was just plain boring, another take on the classic nutella chocolate/hazelnut combo. The toasted hazelnuts themselves were easily my favorite part of the dessert, and I could not help but be slightly letdown by the overall lack of creativity in the roll.

Hope Solo and Jerramy Stevens got married Tuesday, a day after Stevens was arrested in Kirkland, Wash. on suspicion of committing fourth-degree assault on Solo, injuring her elbow during a party that turned into a brawl.
The ex-Seattle Seahawk and soccer star dated for all of two months before taking the plunge. They supposedly argued over where they would live.
Apparently they've decided.
"Events of yesterday morning didn't change plans," Mahler tweeted, referring to Stevens' arrest. Stevens spent the night in jail and was released later Tuesday after a judge decided there wasn't enough evidence to charge him.)
The King County records office confirmed to E! News that the pair applied for a marriage license last Thursday.
Although Hope herself has yet to tweet about her purported wedding, her Team USA soccer teammate, Jillian Loyden, appeared to hint at the nuptials. "Happy to witness such an amazing celebration of real love #selflesslove #fewandfarbetween," she tweeted early Wednesday morning.
If that's real love, I'd hate to see what happens if they decide they no longer like each other.

JURIST Guest Columnist Timothy Waters of Indiana University School of Law Bloomington says that Kosovo's declaration of independence represents a problematic precedent in international law that may ironically bring us back to self-determination as the core historical and moral justification for secession from Serbia...
Russia's Right...?
Should Kosovo be recognized as an independent state? There are compelling arguments on both sides. The commitments the U.S., European States and Russia made in the Helsinki Final Act, for example, suggest that Serbia's territorial integrity must be respected, as does Security Council Resolution 1244, which created the international protectorate over Kosovo and laid the legal groundwork for the final status process. Russia further claims that 1244 only authorized a UN administration and therefore the planned handover to an EU supervisory mission is illegal and that the since the resolution is still in force and has not been superseded by any other Security Council action, the Kosovo Assembly's action is in violation of 1244.
But, counter Western governments, the campaign of ethnic cleansing that Serbia conducted against Kosovo's Albanians in 1999, and the UN protectorate established under 1244, confirm that Serbia has lost any legitimate right to retain sovereignty. Anyway, 1244 doesn't say anything about the outcome of the final status process, so independence is not precluded. The Security Council is supposed to decide the province's status, but it is clearly deadlocked and that provides a further argument for Western recognition: UN paralysis compels outside action. Finally, the Declaration expressly invites the EU mission though that hardly persuades unless the Declaration is valid.
Who's right? Security Council resolution 1244 doesn't actually say anything about creating a new state, and prudential interpretative principles as well as the general purposes of the UN Charter would probably counsel against reading in an extraordinary right to alter the borders of another state. Western diplomats rather lamely note that 1244 only mentions territorial integrity in the non-operative preamble but the preamble's reference is to the Helsinki Final Charter, whose strong protections for territorial integrity apply whether they are mentioned or not. And the first article of the operative text "[d]ecides that a political solution to the Kosovo crisis shall be based on the general principles in annex 1 and. . .annex 2" and in those annexes, Yugoslavia's (read Serbia's) territorial integrity is mentioned.
Besides, so what if 1244 doesn't textually exclude the possibility of independence? If partition prohibited by the Charter and contrary to its purposes, it's ultra vires for the Security Council in any event. You can't bootstrap in an unavailable power to partition just by failing to mention the legal and legitimate outcomes with sufficient specificity. Still Western powers have to bootstrap onto 1244 for a simple reason they know they can't get another, clearer resolution through the Security Council.
Of course, who really cares about such lawyering? Russia may be right, but it's wrong. The argument that really drives Western support for the Kosovars' cause that independence is a necessary response to the ethnic cleansing suffered by Albanians, who cannot trust Belgrade ever again is empirically persuasive and morally powerful. Curiously, though, it finds little traction in international law.
There is language in the General Assembly's Declaration on Friendly Relations, Resolution 2625(XXV), for example suggesting that territorial integrity only protects states "possessed of a government representing the whole people belonging to the territory without distinction as to race, creed or colour" something Serbia patently was not throughout the 1990s. More recently, the 'responsibility to protect' has gained considerable traction. But a right to intervene and a right to partition are not identical. These claims are highly general, and have never been applied to forcibly partition a country against its will. No one has established a clear threshold test for such an action. (The Secretary General convened a working group in 2007 to take the "inevitable next step" and give the responsibility to protect "practical meaning," which rather suggests it doesn't have it yet.)
The US and majority European view (not, pointedly, the EU's, since several EU states won't be recognizing Kosovo) is a replay, in a sense, of the justifications surrounding NATO's original intervention in Kosovo: that did not have the Security Council's sanction either, and NATO leaders at the time were mostly silently about the legal basis. Their strategy was to declare the moral necessity of what they were doing, and let it blow over. A prominent commission of scholars termed the Kosovo war 'illegal but legitimate,' and that same sensibility informs Western approaches to Kosovo's independence now: The case is so compelling, why worry about the technicalities, especially when Russia is playing the spoiler? Look for arguments, once again, about how Russia's exercise of its veto proves the need for reform at the UN. (Meanwhile, look for the US to exercise its veto when Russia demands UN action to quash Kosovo's declaration.) And of course, the legal niceties notwithstanding, if Western recognition sticks and Kosovo maintains its independence, then, over time, that fact alone will constitute an important data point proving that the right to secede following ethnic cleansing and the responsibility to protect will have become established.
...Russia Might
Of course, formal legal arguments won't decide Kosovo's future they are, at most, tools in the hands of the contending parties but the underlying ideas about state sovereignty, territorial integrity, fear of fragmentation, commitment to supranational norms do play an important role in the debate. So, what kind of legal precedent does independence for Kosovo create in international law or at least what predictable effect is it likely to have?
Russia has played a skillful hand in deflecting momentum toward independence. A little more than a year ago, when the UN's envoy, Martti Ahtisaari, announced his plan for the province, most Western experts assumed Kosovo would be independent by the middle of 2007. But Russia insisted on a negotiated solution and its consistent and effective reminders about the threat to the norm of territorial integrity that independence would pose implicitly linked Kosovo's independence to the outcome of other conflicts in which it has an interest. The states within Europe that are opposed to Kosovo's independence, like Cyprus and Spain, have legitimate concerns about their own territorial integrity.
Citing the province's unique history of suffering and its recent UN-sanctioned international supervision, the United States insists that Kosovo isn't a precedent. But what does that mean? It's not as if there is a clear answer in international law about this that everyone agrees upon; the answer is going to come out of an ugly and protracted political contest, and will be read backwards from subsequent events.
Independence for Kosovo means the partition of Serbia, and it's not possible to simply declare that it doesn't have any effect on other situations. It's a precedent if people think it is, and Vladimir Putin, for one, is determined to exploit Kosovo for other conflicts in the former Soviet sphere there is a real chance Russia will move to bolster its support for breakaway regions in Georgia, for example. Certainly, the Serbs of Bosnia have suggested that if Kosovo can separate from Serbia, they can separate too. Are these cases connected? Legally no, but politically, of course they are.
Possibly the best proof that Kosovo is a precedent is that its Declaration of Independence insists it's not. Kosovo's Assembly actually "Observ[es] that Kosovo is a special case arising from Yugoslavia's non-consensual breakup and is not a precedent for any other situation." That's a far cry from the self-evident universalism of the American Declaration of Independence or the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen though one senses the hand of diplomats from these very countries vetting drafts of Kosovo's declaration to ensure this level of humility.
But inserting a clumsily obvious phrase in someone else's founding document isn't going to determine this event's meaning. The U.S. wants independence for Kosovo but it doesn't want to pay the price in precedent and politics which independence implies. The U.S. can unilaterally recognize Kosovo, but it can't control those other effects, and Russia's actions. These concerns are a large part of the reason that Europe and the U.S. despite favoring Kosovo's independence were for so long unwilling to press ahead in the face of Russian opposition, hoping instead that the problem could be put off.
Because the Serbs Can...
The problems are still there. Whatever its legal or moral justifications, independence will not actually change much in the short term, and it will likely make one thing worse: Kosovo's Serb minority is deeply alienated from the Albanian majority, and in the north, where Serbs predominate, they are unwilling to accept the new state's authority. The Ahtisaari Plan contains generous proposals to protect Serbs cultural and political rights, and Kosovo's Assembly has pledged to implement the Plan in full. But there's no indication that northern Serbs who maintain close ties to Belgrade, which subsidizes the Serb presence in Kosovo will agree to integrate. From their point of view, they have no reason.
One way to solve the problem of the north would be to not try to solve it instead, simply let that area remain part of Serbia, and limit the territory of the new state to those areas populated by Albanians who have a legitimate claim to international intervention to protect them from a regime that has proven unacceptably dangerous to them. Indeed, if we accept that the responsibility to protect justifies intervening, we still have to ask, 'to protect whom?' Our responsibility isn't to a territory, but to the people Belgrade put at risk. That responsibility may justify recognizing an independent state for Albanians, but does it justify removing parts of Serbia whose population neither wants nor needs our protection?
The potential benefits of a flexible territory approach grounded in the triple principles of respecting sovereignty where possible, promoting democratic choice, and protecting individuals from repression are obvious: greater scope for a negotiated solution, simplification of Kosovo's demography, which in turn makes its governance less fragile; and of course, for the Serbs in the north themselves, the opportunity to remain citizens of their preferred state without moving. Nothing in 1244 would bar such a solution, yet any border adjustment has been categorically excluded by the Contact Group responsible for final status negotiations since the outset. It is no exaggeration to say that the one plausible path to compromise has never been on the table which is as good a proof as any that ideas can have tremendous power in politics.
Another, Older Way
Admitting a solution for the northern Serbs on the basis of their political desires also suggests that there is another way to justify Albanians' independence one not recognized by current law, but with strong historical roots and strong moral intuitions supporting it: a return to self-determination. Kosovo's Albanians ought to have their independence not because they were oppressed or subjected to ethnic cleansing, nor because the great powers allow it, but by virtue of their separate identity and overwhelming majority on the territory by virtue of their existence as a people that desires to determine its own destiny. Looking back, surely we could all agree that it would have been better to recognize the independence of Kosovo's Albanians when the first called for it in the early 1990s, before the exterminations and the expulsions; surely no people should have to suffer as they did before claiming what so many have as a right. Now that would be a precedent worth recognizing.
Timothy William Waters helped prepare the indictment of Slobodan Milosevic. He is now an associate professor of law at Indiana University (Bloomington).

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for German Shepherd Safe Haven Inc, Laguna Niguel, CA, USA
We adopted our beautiful German Shepherd Cassie from German Shepherd Safe Haven in May 2011. We had talked to other rescue groups, but they all just seemed interested in how quickly they could place a dog, and not if it was the right fit. Jen and Tom really did things differently, and we were so impressed. After talking to us on the phone, they brought Cassie to meet us at a park near our house, to see how she reacted to our family and us to her. We have a cat and wanted to make sure the animals got along, and Jen and Tom brought Cassie to meet our cat to ensure things went smoothly. They also did a thorough home visit, and then told us to take a few days before making a final decision. They were so professional in all their interactions with us, and so caring with the dogs in their rescue. I can not recommend them enough.

A big portion of the Google Glass news seems to circle around when they will launch for the public, what the price will be when they arrive and what the next big update will bring in terms of new features. Well, it looks like Google Glass is heading to a handful of nonprofits for some real world problem solving. This setup is being referred to as "Google Giving Through Glass" but it could also do a bit to change the opinion and thoughts that some may have about Glass.
Aside from the topics already mentioned about Glass, this setup could help shift the wearable from being thought of solely as something that a geek with a fat pocket of money wears around town. Anyway, the Google Giving Through Glass initiative will be kicking off with five nonprofits. These include the World Wildlife Fund, Samasource, GiveDirectly, DoSomething! and charity: water.
More important, Google has said each of these nonprofits had "ideas for how Glass can amplify their impact and tackle some complex challenges." As some will recognize from the nonprofit names, these include everything from providing clean water and conservation, research and restoration of the environment to poverty alleviation in Kenya and rallying youth to support important cause.
While each of these nonprofilts have yet to offer a full breakdown of how Glass will be used and how it will benefit and/or help them, there was a bit of a teaser. Google mentioned how they all hope "to bring more transparency to philanthropy." And with that, there was also a teaser about how this is only the beginning. For that, Google has set #googlegivingthroughglass as a hashtag for those looking to follow along.
Still, while an interesting project with potential, we remain curious to see how these nonprofits will be fitting Glass into their work.

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, complex of trestles, man-made islands, tunnels, and bridges that runs across the entrance to Chesapeake Bay, providing a vehicular roadway between the Norfolk–Hampton Roads area (southwest) and Cape Charles at the tip of the Delmarva Peninsula (northeast). It was begun in 1958 and completed in 1964. The bridge-tunnel complex is 17.6 miles (28 km) long from shore to shore and consists mostly of low trestle bridges carrying a two-lane highway. Because of the importance of shipping in the bay, the crossing was sunk deep beneath the main shipping channels in tunnels at two points, each tunnel being more than a mile long. Four man-made islands, constructed in water averaging 40 feet (12 m) in depth, provide portals by which the roadway enters the tunnels. Near the north end of the bridge-tunnel complex, flanking Fisherman Island off Cape Charles, two high-clearance bridges provide part of the crossing.

For immediate release: December 27, 2004

The University of Maryland Medical Center is the first hospital in the state to receive designation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) as a Primary Stroke Center. The designation shows that the Medical Center's stroke program meets JCAHO's rigorous new standards and performance measurements in caring for stroke patients and offering state-of-the-art treatments.
"This designation acknowledges the excellence of the entire stroke team, which includes doctors, nurses, therapists, technicians, researchers and support staff," explains Marian LaMonte, M.D., director of the Brain Attack Team at the University of Maryland Medical Center and associate professor of neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
UM Medical Center sets the standard for stroke care, according to a University HealthSystem Consortium study.
"For this Primary Stroke Center designation, the JCAHO standards require hospitals to provide excellent patient care, including rapid assessment by a multi-disciplinary team, and the most advanced treatment with clot-busting medications. Another important ingredient is a commitment to educating area health care professionals and the general public about stroke risk factors and the need for rapid treatment," adds Dr. LaMonte.
To receive designation as a Primary Stroke Center, the medical center's stroke program went through a rigorous application process and submitted data on stroke admissions, treatment plans and outcomes. A JCAHO representative visited the emergency department and patient care areas and conducted interviews with staff and patients.
"The University of Maryland Stroke Center has been a pioneer in comprehensive patient care and research. We developed one of the nation's first stroke centers and formed a Brain Attack Team in 1996, the first in the region, for rapid response in treating stroke patients," says William Weiner, M.D., chief of neurology at the University of Maryland Medical Center, and professor and chairman of neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Dr. Weiner adds, "We know that rapid treatment for stroke, particularly the use of clot-busting drugs, can save lives and reduce disability. However, these drugs can only be used within the first few hours after someone has a stroke "" that's why it's so critical to have a multidisciplinary team in place that can respond rapidly in these cases."
The time a hospital takes to administer the drug tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) is one of the critical measurements examined during the JCAHO evaluation. Hospitals need to show that they can rapidly diagnose stroke and then administer treatment within three hours after symptoms begin. Since 1996, more than 200 patients have received tPA therapy at the University of Maryland Medical Center. The stroke team also includes highly skilled neuroradiologists who can use the pathways of the arteries to bring the clot dissolving drug tPA directly into the brain.
Hospitals that receive Primary Stroke Center certification also must show that they are continually working to improve patient care and outcomes. The University of Maryland Brain Attack Team has developed innovative ways to allow more stroke patients to have access to the newest treatments. One example is a telemedicine link to community hospitals, enabling University of Maryland stroke specialists to see and speak with patients in "real time" and evaluate if they are candidates for the clot-busting therapies.
Another example of the stroke team's leadership is a first-of-its-kind, aggressive treatment plan for patients with Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). These "mini-strokes" are often a harbinger of a larger stroke. By recognizing and treating TIAs aggressively, larger, debilitating strokes may be prevented.
Hospitals earning Primary Stroke Center designation also must show a commitment to education. Physicians and nurses at the University of Maryland Stroke Center have made presentations to paramedics and other health care professionals, local and national groups and the general public to raise awareness about stroke prevention and the latest treatments.
"The mission of the University of Maryland Stroke Center has always been to prevent stroke and improve recovery from stroke through patient care, research and education," says Barney Stern, M.D., professor of neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of the clinical stroke program at the University of Maryland Medical Center. "The designation illustrates our continuing goal to provide the best quality care for patients."
"We are proud to be the first hospital in Maryland to receive this prestigious designation as a Primary Stroke Center," says Jeffrey A. Rivest, President and Chief Executive Officer of the University of Maryland Medical Center. "It is an example of our many innovative programs, led by physicians and staff who work with enthusiasm and creativity to provide the best possible care for our patients," Rivest says.
"The University of Maryland Medical Center demonstrated that its stroke care program follows national standards and guidelines that can significantly improve outcomes for stroke patients," says Charles A. Mowll, executive vice president, Business Development, Government and External Relations, Joint Commission.
Stroke, which strikes about 700,000 people in the U.S. each year, is the leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death. Warning signs of stroke include sudden onset of the following symptoms:
Patients with these symptoms should seek immediate medical assistance by calling 9-1-1.

Already? Yes, already.
While Baselworld 2010 is not officially "on" until March 18, what is on are the Baselworld pre-releases. Yes, yes, SIHH and Geneva Time Exhibition just ended (did you miss our coverage?) but don't blame me for this breakneck pace! In fact in what I can best describe as a "steal their thunder" moment, it was no sooner than SIHH had started did the Baselworld "pre-releases" starting coming out. I had to laugh because of the all too convenient timing of these pre-releases, but hey, it's a competitive world out there, and I would be doing the same thing to if I had a brand to market. It's all about the share of mind, and any little thing a watch brand can do to distract from their competitor's message in favor of their own, well….that translates into $$$ when it is all said and done.
So….you can expect to start seeing the Baselworld 2010 previews here on First In Watches starting now and continuing over the next couple months. I, and perhaps some of my esteemed colleagues, will be bringing you new watches from famous (and hoping to be famous) brands in what is to be a small taste of what is to come the week of March 18, 2010.
Anyway, stay tuned – the good times will continue to roll here on First In Watches where we will bring you all the new 2010 releases from Baselworld just like we did for SIHH. Come to think of it, I already shared a Baselworld 2010 pre-release with you way back in December – do you remember the Corum Admiral's Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45? If not then click through and have a look.

Team Ratings
K. Davis
Eventually lost out in his battle with Van Persie, after saving the Dutchman's penalty only to concede an unlikely late equaliser and an even more unlikely winner just after. Dodgy passing out put his team at risk too many times.
José Fonte
Faced a barrage of movement in front of him and became accustomed to the challenge as time grew on. A massive performance in the heart of the home defence that was unlucky to crumble late on.
J. Hooiveld
Rush of blood to the head saw him give away the penalty that almost granted United a second equaliser. Dealt well with all that the visitors' presented him until capitulating late on.
D. Fox
Never allowed Valencia to build up too much speed and consequently negated what looked like United's best outlet in the first half. A sturdy game that saw him rarely beaten one-on-one or fazed by United's triple attacking substitution.
N. Clyne
The full-back was long linked with a move to United and showed why with an effective performance. Though his slip allowed Van Persie the time to score in the first half, he rendered Welbeck impotent for the whole time the England striker was on the field.
A. Lallana
Flashes here and there showed why he is his team's captain. Ghosted in from the right to present United with difficulties that they failed to fully work out in the second half.
J. Puncheon
Fantastic technique and ball in for Lambert's goal and was a regular danger out of the left winger. Was inventive going forward but also functional in his team's defensive endeavours.
J. Ward-Prowse
Mature display that belied his years as he came to grips with a midfield battle that he looked sure to lose after the opening 20 minutes. Did a lot of his work in a deeper lying position but drove forward with intent when called upon.
M. Schneiderlin
His doggedness in midfield led to side's opener and throughout he constantly unsettled his opponents. Turned up late in the box at the crucial moment to give his side an unlikely 2-1 lead.
S. Davis
Quietly assured in the middle of the park without lighting any fireworks. Will rightly be happy with a day's work that often saw him out-think United's slightly more naive midfielders.
R. Lambert
Cleverly peeled onto Rafael at the back post to power home the game's opener. Was the clear danger man, with a shrewd and wily performance. Turned creator for his side's second goal, capping off a display brimming with variety.
Manchester United
A. Lindegaard
Given a rare start after David De Gea was dropped to the bench but found himself let down by his full-backs and their respective back-post slips which led to Saints goals. Made a sharp stop to deny Puncheon further extending the lead.
Was the clear target of Nigel Adkins' ploy to isolate United's full-backs with crosses into the far post and was consequently towered over by Rickie Lambert for the opener. Got forward with drive whenever possible, but question marks still remain over the defensive side of his game.
N. Vidić
Looked unsettled by the aggressive approach adopted by Lambert and too often gave away fouls when it simply wasn't necessary. The defensive stability supposed to be brought about by his pairing with Ferdinand was desperately absent.
A. Valencia
Despite providing his side with out-and-out width that looked their most threatening outlet, the winger never saw enough of the ball to be a constant menace.
P. Evra
A good deal of the Saints threat came down his side and though he never looked like being beaten one-on-one his slip at the far post for Schneiderlin's goal should have been costly.
R. Ferdinand
First start of the season and defended in his typically relaxed style. However, the physicality of Lambert and movement of Lallana and Puncheon caused him all manner of difficulties. Late header that came off the post into the path of Van Persie for the second equaliser proved decisive.
M. Carrick
Was content to sit deep and feed the ball to the array of attacking midfielders ahead of him yet waned in influence as Southampton pressed higher up the pitch in the second half.
T. Cleverley
Really struggled to impose himself on the game as the opposition fully turned the tables on United's early midfield domination. Anonymous in the second half.
S. Kagawa
Often got himself into promising positions and worked intelligently off the ball but found genuine incision hard to come by as his side pushed forward.
R. van Persie
Turned from villain to hero in around 20 minutes after it looked as if his overly-confident penalty had robbed his side of their chance to get back into the game. However, a match winning hat-trick proved that the striker is the world class finisher that United need.
D. Welbeck
Looked isolated out on left in first half, often coming infield to hunt for the ball with little success. Scant opportunity to run in behind the opposition defence robbed him of his effectiveness

Honestly I have no idea what they are like or anything about them. I think you should post more information about them, like they type of genre or their sound. I will give them a chance though, since from what I can tell you have a great sense in music.
EDIT: Now with the newly gained information I am very eager to check them out

Dark Tranquillity formed in 1989 and hail from Sweden. They are one of the pioneers of the Gothenburg Metal sound; Melodic Death Metal. Out of the creators of this genre, (Carcass, At The Gates and In Flames) D.T continue to write excellent Melo Death albums and have not changed their characteristic sound.
If you like Arch Enemy, you will love Dark Tranquillity. Nowadays, thousands of bands from all over the world play Melodic Death Metal so it is always a good thing to check out the creators.
NOTE : Just to be fair, Michael Amott who is the lead guitarist and founder of Arch Enemy played in Carcass. The 1993 "Heartwork" was the first Melodic Death record, but it was not until 1995 with the release of "The Gallery" by Dark Tranquillity, did this genre take off.

You so have to get :
- The New Build

I really love DT, favorite meoldeath/Gothenburg metal band.
My favorite album is "Projector" because it has a lot more opera vocals than their other albums.
And Stanne pulls that off so damn great.
It sounds so mighty.
Favorite songs must be:
Undo Control (The version where Stanne does all the vocal duties is the best, watch the live dvd).
Lost To Apathy
Monochromatic Stains
Out Of Nothing
Punish My Heaven
The Same
Just a few of them x3
Haven't bought "Fiction" yet, but I'll try to get a hold of it soon.
Well most people love Fiction but if you like Projector the most. . . . well it's not Projector Mk II.
im gonna do some research on them cause i heard one of their songs on a podcast and really liked it

MCs, or Motorcycle Clubs, are a growing subgenre of new adult fiction, and this month, readers are hooked on leather jackets, shiny bikes, ex-cons, and tough chicks with tortured pasts. MC books tend to be grittier than the average new adult novel, and they often feature some sort of abuse, either physical or sexual, particularly as part of the heroine's story. What seems to intrigue readers the most is the mix of sweet, sexy romance with the dark, criminal underworld. So if bad boys and angry girls are your thing, check out some of these MC romances.
Burn, by R.J. Lewis, is a follow-up to Ignite, which features a heroine named Sara who grew up in a bad part of town with abusive parents. As a young girl, she formed a friendship with Jaxon, who defended her from bullies and tried to make her see how special she was. Life pulled Sara away from Jaxon, and when she tried to rekindle her relationship with him as an adult, she realized that he wasn't the same person anymore. In Burn, Sara finds herself in the clutches of Remy "Reaper" Martinez, a leader of the Jackals Motorcycle Club, who has been obsessed with her since she was a teenager. The only person who can save her is Jaxon, who joined the club to act as a mole. Will he risk his own safety to help her, despite the way she hurt him in the past?
Readers looking for a seriously dark read will enjoy the Gypsy Brothers series by Lili St. Germain. In the latest installment, Six Brothers, Sammi (a.k.a. Juliette) continues down her road toward revenge against Dornan, the sociopathic head of a motorcycle club. Readers were both disturbed and intrigued by Sammi's ability to have a sexual relationship with Dornan, who raped her when she was younger and killed her father. In Seven Sons, the first book in the series, Sammi killed Dornan's oldest son Chad. Now, with only six brothers left, she turns her murderous sights on another one of his awful sons. All of the sons are rotten except for the youngest, Jase, for whom Sammi is developing feelings.
Ravage Me by Ryan Michele is the first in a series about the Ravage MC. The heroine Harlow Gavelson, a.k.a. Princess, spent two years in jail for a crime she didn't commit. Now that she's free, she immediately returns to Ravage set on revenge. "Princess," as she's known by the club members, is one tough chick. She was raised by the club, which was started by her grandfather, and she's never known any other life. She always swore she'd never date a club brother, but the hero Donavan, a.k.a. Cruz, wants to claim her as his own. He's a single father who was patched into the club after Princess went to jail, and his attraction to her is instantaneous. Unfortunately, his crazy ex-girlfriend could ruin the couple's chances of a happily ever after.
Angels in Leather by Bella Jewel is the first in the Rebels on Bikes series. Before he was killed, the heroine Meadow's father gave her the task of hiding a package from his killer Axel, the president of the Angels in Leather MC. Meadow used to have feelings for Axel, but Axel's a hard man now, dark and violent, and he's chasing her. She doesn't know why he killed her father or why he wants the package, but she's afraid of what will happen if he catches her. There may be an even bigger threat on the horizon, however: a man named Beast who wants the package as well and has no mercy for anyone.
Eight years ago, Britton Ramirez, the heroine of Crushing Beauty by Celia Loren, was abandoned by the boy she loved after a serious car accident. She survives and ends up working for the FBI. Her first undercover assignment is to bring down the president of the Harbingers of Sorrow MC Jagger Stromm—the same boy who abandoned her nearly a decade earlier. Jagger and Britton rekindle their relationship, but Jagger can tell that Britton is hiding something. Britton's feelings for Jagger are real, but her lover is a criminal. Their very different life paths threaten their safety and their feelings for each other.
Not all MC books are super dark and gritty. Readers praised the sweeter, gentler MC book Under Locke by Mariana Zapata. The hero, Dex Locke, is pierced and tattooed, has a violent past, and is part of the Widow MC, but the focus of the story is on his budding relationship with the heroine, Iris Taylor. Her father was a Widow, as is her half-brother Sonny, and she moves to Austin, Texas, to live with her brother because she can't find a job in her hometown. Sonny hooks her up with a job at Dex's tattoo shop. She has a hard time getting along with Dex at first because he's an opinionated, controlling alpha male, but their relationship slowly develops into something deeper.
Finally, for new adult fans who aren't fond of MC books, there's another intriguing story climbing the bestseller charts this month that might be of interest. In Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan, the hero Archer lost his ability to speak in an accident that damaged his voicebox when he was little, and ever since then, he's lived an isolated life as a social pariah in a small town in Maine. The heroine Bree is from Cincinnati, and she goes to Maine for a fresh start. Because her own father was hearing impaired, she knows sign language, and she's intrigued by the town's reclusive outcast. She's determined to befriend him and draw him out of his shell. He helps her overcome her own traumatic past. Archer's Voice is a story of two lost souls finding redemption in each other's arms.

Man City to open against Southampton
The fixtures for the opening weekend of the 2012-13 season have been announced, with Premier League champions Manchester City opening their title defence at home to newly-promoted Southampton.
Roberto Mancini's men, who edged Manchester United to the title last month, face Nigel Adkins's side on August 18 at the Etihad Stadium.
United, pipped on the final day of 2011-12 by their city rivals, open with a match at Everton before taking on Fulham at Old Trafford the following weekend.
Arsenal, who finished third in 2011-12, kick-off with a home game against Sunderland, before taking to the road with trips to Stoke and Liverpool.
Two Europa League rivals meet on the opening day at St James' Park, with Newcastle taking on Tottenham - currently managerless after the departure of Harry Redknapp.
Roberto Di Matteo's career as permanent Chelsea coach starts with a game at Wigan. The Blues' first home game of 2012-13 is against Newcastle.
Brendan Rodgers's Liverpool open at West Brom - although the first three Anfield fixtures are more eye-catching, with Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United the visitors.
The team Rodgers left, Swansea, now managed by Michael Laudrup, begin at QPR.
West Ham's return to the Premier League starts with a home match against Aston Villa, now under the leadership of Paul Lambert.
Fellow newcomers Reading will also have home advantage in their first top flight game for four years - with Stoke the opening-day opponents at the Madejski Stadium.
The other first-day match sees Fulham and Norwich meet at Craven Cottage in Chris Hughton's first competitive game since replacing Lambert as Canaries boss.
Boxing Day sees Manchester United face Newcastle, while Sunderland and City meet at the Stadium of Light.
Newcastle against Arsenal is the most eye-catching of the May 19 fixtures, when newly-promoted West Ham and Reading play for what could be three priceless final day points at Upton Park.
Opening weekend fixtures: Saturday, August 18
Arsenal v Sunderland
Everton v Manchester United
Fulham v Norwich City
Manchester City v Southampton
Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur
Queens Park Rangers v Swansea City
Reading v Stoke City
West Bromwich Albion v Liverpool
West Ham United v Aston Villa
Wigan Athletic v Chelsea

Camera backpacks provide great protection for not only your camera, but normally they have room for extra lenses and other accessories. I have quite a few different larger backpacks, but if Iâm just going out quickly I donât want to be hauling a large bag around with me. Iâve always been a fan of sling-type Backpackâs, and having one that can protect and hold me camera is a plus. Today we are taking a look at Caselogicâs SLR Sling Camera Backpack.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — With the threat of a government shutdown looming, the Metropolitan Council has planned a series of public hearings to collect input regarding possible reductions in transit service and fare increases.
The council said both of these factors could be necessary as they plan for shortfalls in the regional transit operations budget.
A portion of the budget for transit services comes from state funding but the council says services will continue for a period of time in the event of a government shutdown. Still, the long-term effects on the transit budget are less certain.
Without a state budget, the council said they must begin looking at adjusting services and/or increasing rates — starting with holding public hearings on the possible impacts.
The council said they are looking at a possible $110 million reduction, which was previously proposed by the legislature.
Council Chair Susan Haigh said they are "preparing and planning for a significant impact on the transit service."
Two public hearings have been scheduled for July 6 and 7 to discuss possible impacts, give an overview of the situation and allow residents to ask questions and give feedback. Preliminary information will be available at the meetings, however specific information on routes that could be affected or exact rate increases will not be.
The July 6 meeting will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Council Offices at 390 N. Robert St. in St. Paul. The July 7 meeting will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Minneapolis Central Library in the Doty Board Room, 300 Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis.
Additional public hearings will be held from Aug. 8 to 18. Those meeting will provide the specific details regarding any rate changes and service reductions.
The seven public hearings are as follows:
Monday, Aug. 8 – 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Bloomington Civic Plaza, Council Chambers
1800 W. Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington
Served by Routes 535, 539

The specific proposals for rate increases and service adjustments will be available on the Council's website no later than July 29.
Public comments will be accepted starting July 5 through 5 p.m. on Aug. 29. Written comments can be sent to Metropolitan Council Data Center at 390 N. Robert St., St. Paul, 55101. Fax comments to Data Center at (651) 602-1464, text TTY comments to Data Center at (651) 291-0904, email to firstname.lastname@example.com and leave a message with comments on the public comment line at (651) 602-1500.
In the event that a budget agreement comes to fruition, the council may reschedule the public hearings. If that happens, the revised proposals will be available 10 days before the first rescheduled meeting.

Analog Devices, Fujifilm develop CCD signal processor for digital cameras
Post a comment
NORWOOD, Mass.--Analog Devices Inc. here and Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. of Japan have co-developed a new charged-coupled-device (CCD) signal processor, which the companies say improves sharpness and clarity in digital cameras while prolonging battery life.
Analog Devices said it worked with Fujifilm to develop an advanced imaging architecture that integrates a timing generator and 12-bit converter with the company's PxGA technology. Analog Devices' PxGA is a proprietary analog frontend technology that integrates high-performance functions onto a single chip for increased system performance and efficiency.
The PxGA technology equalizes the signal level for each color channel at the full read-out rate of the CCD, said Analog Devices. This capability enables each pixel value to be accurately placed at the optimum value required for sampling by the analog-to-digital converter, according to the Norwood company.
The result, said Analog Devices, is crisp and accurate colors without requiring complex digital processing. This capability will allow system designers more time to concentrate on value-added system features rather than dealing with weaknesses inherent in CCD imagers, said the company.
Fuji Photo Film is using the PxGA technology in its recently FinePix4700Z camera. "Analog Devices' PxGA technology enables Fujifilm's digital camera to achieve a fully integrated 12-bit analog front-end (AFE), and has greatly improved the performance and picture quality of our digital cameras," said Shozo Iijima, executive general manager of the Electronic Imaging Products Division of Fuji Photo Film. "Offering our customers this advanced picture technology is giving Fujifilm a competitive advantage in the rapidly expanding digital camera market."

Bought a set of these for the wife's brand new sedan. Tires are great in deep snow, they can throw snow 20 feet away when you step on it. Try to get it stuck and it chews down to pavement in a few revolutions. Ice performance (which there doesn't seem to be a rating for) isn't the best however, with only few straight line sipes the tires perform more like a light truck tire on ice. Cornering and stopping on ice is only marginally better than her European all season tires. Dry performance is pretty good, the tires lack of ice dynamics for a trade off in dry weather I guess. Tire feels very smooth and has worn very well. Road noise is way above average for a winter tire, the tire almost howls like a mud tire at highway speeds (even had the dealer check alignment all green) this doesn't bother me much but it's something to note when considering a winter tire. I feel this tire was designed more of SUV's or midsize trucks then coupes or sedans. Consider this tire if you live in areas that get heavy dumps of snow but regularly have dry pavement.

On the light snow in below 0 cold, I was slipping and sliding all over the place and skidding through stop signs. Now I know to start slowing down way way in advance. On ice? Useless. Nearly no traction. Got stuck part way up a couple hills too. At least they are not that noisy, and they take the bumps pretty good. Smooth ride too. But great winter tires they are not!

The Tigers haven't had a winning season since 1993.The only members of that team who were active major leaguers in 2005 were Chris Gomez and David Wells.
So it's understandable if owner Mike Ilitch wants to spend free-agent money to find a short-term fix for his big league. That worked in 2004, when Detroit improved to 72 victories and respectability after establishing an American League record for futility with 119 losses in 2003.
The Tigers didn't make further progress in 2005, however, winning just 71 times as they couldn't keep key players such as Carlos Guillen and free-agent signees Magglio Ordonez and Troy Percival healthy. After a smashing Detroit debut in 2004, catcher Ivan Rodriguez slumped badly. His 11 walks were part of a team-wide problem, as the Tigers drew just 384 free passes, the lowest total in the majors since 2002, and ranked 12th in the AL in on-base percentage.
The stagnant offense, as well as a stagnant clubhouse, cost manager and former club icon Alan Trammell his job after three seasons. For the second time in his career as a general manager, Dave Dombrowski turned to Jim Leyland to manage his high-payroll team. While the Tigers perhaps have lower expectations than the 1997 Marlins—a winning season would be a good start—they have the kind of veteran talent Leyland is accustomed to working with. He did cause a stir at his introductory press conference when he said he wasn't too familiar with Detroit's roster, but familiarity didn't help Trammell and the Tigers win.
A poor season had some bright spots, and many of them were provided by a rebounding farm system. Chris Shelton, whom the Pirates somehow left unprotected in the 2003 Rule 5 draft, was Detroit's most consistent hitter and a much-needed potent righthanded bat. Outfielder Curtis Granderson, last year's No. 1 prospect, got a chance at consistent playing time and seized it, slugging eight home runs in 162 at-bats and playing a competent center field.
The Tigers, who entered 2005 slotted 29th in Baseball America's farm-system rankings, had their best year in the minors since winning BA's Organization of the Year award in 1997. The only real downers were injuries and poor performances by top draft picks Kyle Sleeth (third overall pick, 2003), who had Tommy John surgery, and Eric Beattie (second round, 2004), who has major control problems.
The organization's affectation for hard throwers finally paid off as Justin Verlander and Joel Zumaya had breakout seasons. Verlander, the No. 2 overall pick in 2004, took off after the Tigers altered his delivery slightly, started the Futures Game at Comerica Park and pitched in the big leagues three months into his pro career. Zumaya reached Triple-A as a 20-year-old and helped Toledo win the International League championship.
Verlander began the year at high Class A Lakeland, and even though he spent barely half a season there, Lakeland still piled up 85 wins to lead the minor leagues. In fact, the Tigers topped all organizations in minor league winning percentage at .555.
Now the Tigers' hope is that, with Leyland's help, they can bring some of that winning feeling back to Detroit. In Ilitch's 13 full seasons as owner, his club hasn't climbed back over .500 since his first. The Tigers also haven't made the playoffs since 1987, a streak exceeded by only the Royals in the AL.

we are having a problem with the Avia Framework, we are using a section with 5 columns in our homepage, and if we create the page from scratch, everything works fine, if then by any reason, update content or simply republish the page, the layout breaks, on the editor and on the page itself.
We are using 4 plugins at the moment:
Akismet, Hello Dolly, Post Duplicator and URL & Path Shortcodes
This is the AVIA generated code for the page where the problem is occurring, copied into a text file:
thanks for any helpJuly 16, 2013 at 3:38 am #129684
Hi dm-consulting,
Can we see the site and page live? From that bit of information I'm not really sure what could be causing something like that. I've not run across it at this point.
When you created the page, how did you create it? In the regular visual editor, the text tab, the advanced layer slider? Any other information on how we can re-create the issue will help.
DevinJuly 16, 2013 at 8:25 am #129685
Good Morning,
The website is in a password locked location because currently under development, i will share the access here so you can take a look at it.
http://dm-c.it/riservata/adaptive/ (user: kriesi passw: kriesi )
The page is the theme's homepage, we imported the content after installing the theme and then changed the content for the homepage.
The layout is simple, first the slider, them a full column with text, then 5 columns, then an alternate content area and before the footer a post slider in a 4/5 column with a 1/5 column on the left.
Problem presents itself when we create the 5 columns below the slider and the full column. If we dont add these 5 columns everything works fine.
Strange thing is that we can create the same 5 columns on other pages without issues. Today i am going to try to use the same layout on another page and see if it presents itself.
We are using safari for the development, and sometimes firefox. Problem remains.
Thank you for the help.July 16, 2013 at 9:50 am #129686
this is the code generated as seen on firebug, as you can see, instead of 5 columns, system renders first 2 and the third breaks layout that comes next on syntax, and makes it DISAPPEAR from avia framework.

I'm not able to access the page with the username and password provided.
The only thing that we can do is to try and duplicate the layout you have and see whats going on. What you might want to try is to re-adjust the layout by using color sections to break up the content instead of just groups of column content on top of each other.
Using what you had in the original text file I don't get any issues when displaying it live.July 22, 2013 at 1:18 pm #129688
Back again,
i am sorry that you could not enter the site with the username password i gave you. Please try again.
On the same matter, we keep having problems with the Avia editor, I tried installing the theme from scratch on another server and after using Avia for a while, on some pages i get other kinds of problems.
On one page, when editing the Avia Editor does not load at all and the loading indicator (the rotating circle) keeps rotating and does not load the WYSIWYG editor.
On another page, after adding a background image to the Alternate Content container, when i click update page i get a 404 error, even thought the page exists.
And this is happening on a MAC in Safari, Chrome and Firefox, on 2 different web-servers and even on a local MAMP stack.
Do i need to do something to the server configuration? Is there any recommended .htaccess or php.ini config?
Is there a way to somehow reset the Avia Framework?
Maybe bypassing the framework and using the standard shorcodes might solve the problem.
Is there an email i can send access information to the website so you can take a closer look? Or maybe using team viewer software.
I do not know if anyone else is having these kinds of problems, but we need some help, please.July 22, 2013 at 1:31 pm #129689
I have AVIA who disappeard. When you click advanced editor, nothing show anymore.
I still can import things with the magic wand icon but, nothing shows anymore visually from advanced.

Any solutions?
(Bump)July 24, 2013 at 1:59 pm #129692
I was doing some testing and it seems it is the use of the icon font somehow that is breaking the layout.
I removed only the icon code in html entity format from the code and the layout does not break anymore.
I even tried inserting the original code inside a widget on the same page, and layout broke again, even without the columns anymore. On this occasion the footer widget also stopped working and i had to resave the footer widget to get it back on.
You can take a look now if you want to see, using the access codes i gave you before.
I will probably resort to changing the font icons on the source code to images. :(
the culprit lies on this line of code i think:

Hi dm-consulting,
You can try updating your theme files since they are a few weeks out of date now and are missing a number of recent bug fixes.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans should have been spending this week enjoying a bye.
Instead, a late-season collapse where they lost three of their last four games has left them with a short week to fix many mistakes before hosting Cincinnati in a wild card game Saturday.
Houston had two chances to secure a bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. Consecutive losses to the Vikings and Colts to end the regular season kept the Texans from getting either.
Coach Gary Kubiak believes his team will turn things around this week.
"We didn't handle the end of the season the way we wanted to handle it, but that doesn't mean that we can't handle these playoffs the way we want to handle it," he said. "We understand how we have to play."
Kubiak said he's most concerned with inconsistencies in several different areas. He's unhappy that the Texans haven't been able to run the ball successfully throughout games recently.
Houston had 102 yards rushing in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Colts, but only 25 yards came before halftime.
"We have to have a consistent day where we get out there and run the ball 30 times like we're accustomed to doing and what we do best, and that hasn't happened," he said.
The problems in the running game have contributed to Houston's recent trouble on third down. The Texans have converted just 15 of 49 third-down attempts in their last four games.
But the problems aren't only in the running game. Matt Schaub has struggled in this stretch, throwing three interceptions and just one touchdown pass in the last four games. However, Kubiak, himself a former quarterback, was quick to point out that many factors are to blame when the quarterback is having problems.
"There are a lot of plays to get a quarterback going and make it look a lot better from the standpoint at the end of the game statistically that could help him," Kubiak said. "But at the same time he's got to do things better. And I'm up there searching all I can to put him in a better situation to be successful."
Kubiak has also been left scratching his head as to why the Texans have been committing so many penalties in the last six games after doing well in that area through the first 10 games of the season. Houston had nine for 64 yards on Sunday.
"It's driving me crazy to be honest with you," Kubiak said. "It's a lot of things going on right now, and that's at the top of the list. We had nine yesterday, and I think probably four of them were giving people first downs. ... It's a problem. We're addressing it, we're working on it. But it's got to get solved."
When Kubiak was asked whether the penalties meant that his team was undisciplined or unfocused he first simply replied, "that hurts," before continuing.
"When you're having too many penalties that's a discipline issue and that's on me, the coach," he said. "I take full responsibility for that and I've got to get it fixed."
The Texans also had trouble on defense Sunday. Like the offense, the defense has also struggled on third down. Andrew Luck threw a 70-yard touchdown pass on third-and-23 in the fourth quarter Sunday to put the game out of reach.
"We've given up some plays in situations that we shouldn't," Kubiak said. "Getting off the field has been a problem defensively."
Kubiak is looking for more pressure up front this week to help make things easier for his young secondary.
Despite the recent disappointment, the Texans (12-4) finished with their best regular-season record in franchise history. Now Kubiak says they're refocused and ready to move forward.
"We've got to go out there and make the plays to get all that mojo going back in the right direction," he said. "The only people that can get it done are the coaches and the players. We're back at it and looking forward to getting started (Tuesday)."
