THE MAIN DRAG OF WILMINGTON, CALIFORNIA, looks as if someone transformed a 19th-century Eastern seaport village into a latter-day Tijuana but forgot to finish the job. On one corner is a clapboard house built in the style of the Eastern shore of Delaware, where Phineas Banning, Wilmington's founder, was born in the early 1800s. Down the street, a hand-painted sign on a porticoed stucco building festooned with plastic flowers advertises lanteras tires and a music store called Ritmo Latino pumps a salsa beat into the night. The wide street is empty of cars at night, but people cluster at the doors of bars and restaurants, making Wilmington feel more south of the border than South Bay.
In the cavernous municipal building, women's laughter eddies like the Pacific Ocean, which is tamed by massive breakwaters and piers at the Port of Los Angeles just a few blocks away.
One of the laughing women is Maria Ortiz. Ortiz, 61, has salt-and-pepper hair and a faint resemblance to Elizabeth Taylor, if Elizabeth Taylor were Mexican and lived in a housing project. Ortiz is meeting with other mothers who are concerned about the effects that air pollution from the Port of Los Angeles is having on their children. Like a lot of local residents, she believes the port, for all the benefits it brings the region and the country, is a plague on her house. For Ortiz, the metaphor is literal. Her son Fernando was diagnosed with asthma when he was 40 days old. In high school, Fernando was on the football team. He wanted to be a boxer, but doctors told him he had to stop playing sports. Vigorous exercise makes asthma worse. So, he went to work in one of the half-dozen refineries whose smokestacks define the sky in the South Bay.
Environmental Issues and Protection
As he reached his 20s, Fernando's asthma grew worse. The nights were the hardest. His lungs closed down, he sweated. In desperation, he would throw open the windows of his room. Says his mother: "He would say to me, 'No puedo, no puedo. No puedo esto, no puedo hacer lo otro. [I can't do this, I can't do that.] Why? Because I'm sick.'" When the asthma interfered with his relationship with his girlfriend, his depression became unendurable.
One winter night, Ortiz heard something clatter to the floor in an upstairs bedroom. She remembers seeing her son's feet as she opened the door. Then she saw the gun he had used to shoot himself.
At first glance, Maria Ortiz and the other Wilmington women do not appear to be formidable opponents for the global interests responsible for the pollution causing health problems in their community. They clean other people's houses. They work in factories. Few speak English. They live in a city that is 85 percent Latino and where at least 26 percent of the population is poor. Their children, or their friends' children, are sick with asthma and other diseases, including leukemia, linked to air pollution from cargo ships and diesel trucks at the rapidly growing Port of Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, a few miles away, suit-and-tie shipping executives pass through a metal detector on their way to conference rooms decorated with nautical memorabilia. The broad-shouldered building that houses the Port of Los Angeles stands like a monument to a sense of unquestioned rectitude last glimpsed in 1950s America. That appearance is deceptive. The Port of Los Angeles is, arguably, the country's largest portal to the 21st century, if the 21st century is defined by globalization. This is the busiest seaport in the U.S., an entrepôt for more than $100 billion in international trade, mostly from the Pacific Rim and Latin America. The nearby Port of Long Beach is the country's second largest port. The two ports combined handle 45 percent of the imports entering the U.S. With the baseball caps and dish racks on their way to Target and Wal-Mart comes an extraordinary amount of air pollution.
The pollution is from foreign ships that use high-sulfur fuel; heavy-duty, diesel-powered "yard goats" that haul containers onto truck beds; and an estimated 34,000 trucks that arrive at both ports daily. The Port of Los Angeles has become the largest single source of diesel pollution in the L.A. basin. Diesel emissions are known to cause cancer, lung disease, heart disease, spontaneous abortion, birth defects and infant mortality. Diesel accounts for 70 percent of the pollution-caused cancer risk in the region, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Given the port's expansion fever and history of unchecked growth, the air blowing inland from Los Angeles Harbor could get worse before it gets better. For years, port officials have contended that air pollution isn't their responsibility; that it's the terminal operators, the shipping lines, and the Wal-Marts and Targets who need to clean up their operations.

I'm all for motorcycle safety but this is a really impractial concept with may things that haven't been thought out.
1. Shouldn't the suit inflate before slamming into the van???? Bouncing down the road would be the least of your worries at that point. Kinda like an airbag in a car. It inflates before your face hits the steering wheel, not after!
2. The volume of gas needed to inflate a suit that size and have adiquate pressure to sustain such an impact would require a scuba tank size canister.
I'm now thinking this can't be serious. is this a joke?

This suit (if real, and not just a concept) would kill more moto riders from heat exhaustion that it would save in collisions.

The idea is ok.
But how far do you roll or bounce down the road and what else is in the way that you will run into after the main crash.
It would be better (I think) If the suit inflates to protect you but still stays a reasonable size, just like the air splints that ambulance drivers use.

I think the advantages of this suit would be very limited. If you were T boned by a driver coming out of a side road, the damage to the rider would already have been done. The ball would inflate after the fact and you would bounce down the road like a balloon full of giblets. It sounds a bit like the joke about the Irish parachute that opens on impact! (no intended insult to the Irish,!!) I think everyone else has covered all the probable comic eventualities!!

you get hurt when you stop suddenly not necessarily when you get hit by a car/van. i was hit by a car and didnt sustain any injuries until about 20-30 ft later when i was flying across a verge and almost into a lamppost with my bike on top of me.

This is OK for head on collisions with Lamborghini cars (and the rest 5" tall cars) where you just fly over(if you don't drive over). For it to really work, I suppose they have to place a bunch of sensors around on the bike. Some smart electronics and probably a bit better chance in a side collision with a bus...
Still, not a bad idea, just being a bit hasty with it.

Or the Mars Rover landing, if you like. There are plenty of accidents that this suit would be good for. It seems most motorbike accidents are single vehicle accidents that this would be perfect for. However, I wouldn't want this thing to inflate on me at 5 mph. Or at a stop light! I think I would be ok with bouncing through traffic like a Zorb Ball, though. The in-faring air bag that Honda has developed would be good for hitting the side of a van (well, good, relatively speaking). There's also the suit the MotoGP riders have been testing that inflates around your neck. If they could only get these suits to look more like an Ironman suit... Or Batman!
The want to re-shot this video as a live demonstration. Would you be interested in being the stunt rider?

What is Power Pack?
Cincinnati's FreestoreFoodbank created the Power Pack Program to feed hungry children by providing them with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food to take home on weekends and school vacations. For $140.00, a child can recieve a Power Pack bag for an entire school year. $3.50 a bag x 40 weeks of school...help us feed hungry children in our community.
In Cincinnati, Covington, and Newport Public Schools, there are schools with at least 85% of students participating in the national free or reduced-cost breakfast and school lunch program, according to Ohio and Kentucky Department of Education data. We estimate that at least 10% of these students face such food insecurity that they may have little or no food at home over the weekend and would be eligible for Power Pack. This means we could provide almost 3,000 Power Packs per week in these schools alone.
No. Unlike the federally funded in-school feeding programs, nothing exists to supply good nutrition and prepare kids to be ready to learn when they return to school on Monday. Federal, state and local governments have not funded projects such as this.
Nine to 12 kid-friendly, nutritious, and shelf-stable items. The items are varied from week to week to ensure variety and nutritional value.
As of April 2009, Power Packs are being distributed weekly to approximately 1490 children in 34 locations in Kenton and Campbell County, KY and Hamilton and Pike Counties, OH.
Where are we going?
We want to start by serving the area immediately surrounding our Cincinnati base, concentrating on schools in Cincinnati, Covington and Newport, with at least of 85% of students or higher in the National School Lunch Program. Then, we will move outward through our 20-county service area in Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana.
We will work directly with the school districts, particularly with Family Resource Centers or Community Learning Centers within a school district. This partnership is both efficient and effective as these centers already work closely with our target population, having established rapport and access to children and their families. The program design is simple and effective. The FreestoreFoodbank selects partners to provide the distribution location and to aid in the identification of chronically hungry children in their schools. The foodbank supplies participating organizations with Power Pack take-home bags and with backpacks if necessary.
Since the site coordinators observe and interact with the children on a regular basis, they may be familiar with the child's home life and any obstacles that child may be facing. There are no eligibility requirements and no out of pocket costs to the organizations or the children. By concentrating efforts at the school level, where children are already gathered, and using the tight-knit relationship between staff and students, we can identify those chronically hungry children and give them the help they need.
Children are especially vulnerable to issues of hunger and poverty. According to America's Second Harvest 2005 Report on Emergency Food Distribution in the United States, 13 million children live in poverty in the United States. Hunger has long lasting, devastating effects on the health and development of children. Research indicates that even mild under-nutrition experienced by young children during critical periods of growth may lead to reductions in physical growth and affect brain development. It's been said, "A hungry child can't learn and an uneducated adult can't earn.
It becomes glaringly evident why programs like the Power Pack Program is essential in combating childhood hunger.

05 / 26 / 2009According to the local Radio Trinidad station, a group of lobster fishermen working in waters close to the Zaza Afuera Cay found the cannon. The same fishermen discovered the remains of a colonial ship a year earlier in the same location.
Leonel Delgado Ceballos, head of the Archeology Department of the Conservation Office in Trinidad spoke about the value of the find.
The cannon is 2 meters long, weighs 645 kilograms and was cast on June 18, 1777 in Seville, Spain, according to an inscription on the piece.
Leonel Delgado Ceballos said that the cannon comes from a ship that was part of the Real Armada fleet of King Carlos III as confirmed by a crown engraved on the surface of the cannon with a capital R encircled with a C and the number "three" in Roman numerals.
The cannon, along with 20 small pieces of ammunition and an 8-pound cannonball, will be exhibited in one the museums in Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
So far, the crew of the lobster fishing boat has brought up the remains of a ship, 16 cannons, an anchor and an iron deposit used for ammunitions.

When Vegas starts posting odds on when a VP nominee's name will be withdrawn from consideration, you know that something is brewing.
It turns out that there's more fire than smoke. The questions keep growing, so let's keep it simple, who, how, why, when, and where.
Even I hate to admit it, especially after Hillary joined them, there is a hidden conspiracy that stands against America, our constitution, our future, our freedoms. It is a Christian cabal. A D.C. centered group of rich, insane, power-hungry, conspirators who wish to control the destiny of this country in their direction. It is not a direction of which our founding fathers would have approved. It is, more than any other danger that our country faces, our most evil enemy. It also selected Sarah Palin. They met recently, vetted her, approved of her religious fascism, and promoted, then sold her to John McCain.
The Nation, one of the finest independent papers in this country, has the story:
The members of the Council for National Policy are the hidden hand behind McCain's Palin pick. With her selection, the Republican nominee is suddenly — and unexpectedly — assured of the support of a movement that once opposed his candidacy with all its might. Case in point: while Dobson once said he could "never" vote for McCain, he issued a statement last week hailing Palin as an "outstanding" choice. If Dobson's enthusiasm for Palin is any indication, he may soon emerge from his bunker in Colorado Springs to endorse McCain, providing the Republican nominee with the backing of the Christian right's single most influential figure.
John McCain has long ceased being his own person. From 2000 to today, the differences between McCain the Maverick, to McCain the NeoConMan are striking. Parsing the difference in behavior and personality is difficult. Some, including me, have suggested that he suffers from Senile Dementia. Others simply call McCain a political whore, willing to do and say anything to get elected. Still others simply say that he is a convenient politician. What works is convenient.
No matter the cause, no matter the reason, or combination thereof, McCain has sold his campaign to the Rovian club he recently collected, and then sold his soul to the ultra far right fringe of Christian theology. The Council chose Sarah Palin for him, in exchange for their support.
Do not believe the polls. The idea that 4 more yrs of Bush would ever receive 42% support in a national election is ridiculous. Internal polling shows a bigger lead for Obama, despite a serious impact of racism.
Sarah Palin, like any former beauty queen, is there simply to be a distraction. Avoid the hard questions, confuse and confound the enemy, and always change the discussion and the topic. The Rovian leaders within the McCain camp know how bad the future is, and this bowing to the ultra-religious-dominionist Cabal is a brilliant, timely, calculated move. On one hand, it throws those insane nuts a handful of crumbs. When she is replaced, (and rest assured, she will be), they will have been pacified. On the other hand, if she somehow manages to survive what is looking more and more like a serious vetting by serious investigators, she pretty much locks up the fundie vote for McCain. Despite being a Creationist nutcase herself.
When did the fall of Sarah start? Early, often, consistently.
When she demanded what amounted to a loyalty oath from her tiny town's employees, she showed her true colors. When she fired capable people simply because they did not kiss her feet sufficiently, she laid out her future behavior. When she
headed a Senator Stevens 527 group, pushing for his re-election, despite serious ethical charges building up, she showed how corrupt she herself is. When she stood up next to Ted, pledging her support, she confirmed it. And when she scrubbed her website of those events, she showed that her campaign has a high school student on board with some smarts.
Palin's name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the "Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.," a 527 group that could raise unlimited funds from corporate donors. The group was designed to serve as a political boot camp for Republican women in the state. She served as one of three directors until June 2005, when her name was replaced on state filings.
I just hope whoever cleansed her website isn't impregnated at the age of 16. That might impact Sarah's family values positions.
Oh, wait. That already happened.
Where will America find out about the true Sarah? Certainly not on cable news. Never on your local borecasts. Not in your local newspaper, especially when too many subscribe to the AP service, a failing, politicized, dysfunctional group that would rather protect the status quo than to fix their growing Fournier problem. WaPo tries. NYT tries. Even some western papers are investigating and reporting. But Gustav visuals are simply too "gnus-worthy"
Where will you learn about the real Sarah Palin? The Netroots. Be grateful they exist. It might just save this country yet.

The door opens, but before it closes, in walks Jeb Bush to save the McCain campaign from mothers of teenage mutant pregnazoids, while Dr Dobson
and Oprah get into a pissing war about terrorist penises and their seminal effects on the electoral process.
Spinning like a pulsar, main stream media retracts their coverage of all news and goes to 24 hour muzak to convince the public we're all in this elevator together.
Meanwhile the bush dynasty is preserved right under the nose of the lemmings.
Rob you are so on the beam concerning The Netroots,
The Nation in particular.
Geez, that is soooooo close to the bone!
Thanks Rob.
I suggested this change of Veep candidates 2 days ago, based on little more than a hunch. I think the choice was designed to do nothing more than be so outrageous that coverage of it would suck all the oxygen out of the Democrats post convention reporting, then magically be reversed at the convention for a more mainstream nominee. Well, it did that. What have the previously top Veep possibilities such as Tim Pawlenty & Mitt Romney been doing and saying since 'the choice'? What have their movements and schedules been like? Really, until the convention, nominating process and vote, nothing is set in stone. This whole week can be dismissed as …nothing at all.
sloppy seconds – a great way to run for Veep.
I read this blog to find out what its originator had to say ab. the title's subject. The saga "only gets worse" – nice article/breakdown, but even The Nation doesn't have the whole story here. Has the story and video of the many questions ab. Sarah's ostensible DS baby been totally airbrushed out of existence by the announcement from the McCain camp that the daughter is 'five months pregnant' – conveniently taking attention away from the other story, like a good spinmeister would?
I've seen the video, with the guy's nicely researched questions & visuals ab. Sarah's surprise 'pregnancy' (even to her workmates), and there is definitely something fishy going on there. And if it proves indeed to be her baby, rather than that of her wayward daughter (who may have a convenient miscarriage with the one she is said to be carrying now), it brings up massive questions about her judgment. Traveling from Alaska to Texas in a plane to make a speech with amniotic fluid having started to leak down her leg? Feeling the contractions starting on the return trip, or even before embarking? The plane's crew not observing her in a 7-month pregnant state? Passing up logical hospital sites to get to where her GP gal pal would be? No pics of her swollen 7-mo. pregnant belly, just her behind a desk, etc? And so forth. There is a greater question here, that has been neatly spun out of the way. The Rovian influence in the McCain camp is showing its mettle. Is nobody on CHB going to pick up on this intriguing story, that goes to the innate qualification of Sarah to be VP, and possibly POTUS? Is this just a story for Daily Kos? Or is it just conveniently beneath the radar now, and everybody pay attention to the magician's other hand.
Check out Time Mag's most recent article. They have a few bombshells. Think book burning based on religious ideas.
If Senator McCain thought his choice of a Pentacostal would shore up his weak ties to the evangelicals, he is wrong.
I would have to say that most Evs are deeply suspicious of the Pentacostal movement. In the Independent Baptist Church I attended as a youngster, the pastor would go ballistic at any mention of the Assemblies.
In his opinion, they were blasphemers of the Word, writing their own Scriptures, their single females were deliberately sent out to seduce God Fearing young Baptist men into their "cult".
I would say that as far as the net effect of the Palin choice goes, its between neutral and negative for the Ev community as a whole.
I very much don't want McCain to be President with his pride in his father's and grandfathers great military traditions and his desire to have everyone afraid to mess with the US.
But I worry that over condemnation can backfire.
I am touched that Sarah decided to keep her Down syndrome child, and it shows honesty in being pro-life. Though I wonder why she isn't a little pro life toward the animals she likes to hunt and is so hawkish on foreign affairs.
As an extremely busy mom, she must almost have a fetish to hunt, because it certainly isn't what one would expect someone to have time for, between taking care of her kids and working toward clean government at the same time.
President Bush's worse mistake was not saying "yes" when Saddam ask if he could leave and take his money with him. The government lies for National Security all the time. Why didn't Bush just lie and tell Saddam, he could leave and surprise him with a Human Rights trial a year later, if he couldn't stomach Saddam going free.
Sarah, if she does become President might make more stupid errors than Bush, and she won't be able to be a trusted advisor for a growingly senile president.
Come on all you others scared of what John or Sarah might do, let's not exaggerate too much.
Goggle RichardKanePA
I'm beginning to think senile dementia is a social disease or is caused by bad drinking water, like lead in the pipes. Either I'm completely insane, or this country is. I hope you're right that things are really much better than they seem for Obama, and I agree that nothing is beneath our media in order to manipulate public opinion for the capitalists and / or zionists, like brazenly biased opinion polls or outright lying about the results, for example. But I dunno, Rob. Things look kinda grim here in my western redneck "Southpark" town. I think you nailed everything else spot-on, though, and expressed the truth in ways much more eloquent than I could muster. Fine job, once again.

It isn't a strictly "you can withdraw or you can't" kind of system. You have the options of each rank in the guild being able to deposit or withdraw, for each tab. So maybe white profession mats go in slot 1, and phat epics go in slot 2. Then the new recruits can deposit or withdraw to slot 1, and deposit to 2, and the officers can deposit or withdraw to 1 and 2.

Boys will be boys. They will play rough, spend hours on the basketball courts and football fields, ride motor bikes too fast, and perform stunts on outlandish, homemade contraptions that are deemed suicidal even by the boys themselves. But boys grow up and become men, have families and jobs, and those wild days are forgotten. That is, until aching knees and shooting pain bring back vivid memories of those reckless years.
Michael Clement of Clinton was just such a boy. Years of playing basketball, having various accidents that resulted in casts and torn cartilage, and general "pounding and pounding" of his knees finally caught up to him. With the added stress of some extra weight, his knees were worn out.
"I had ruined them," said Clement who had masked the pain for years with ibuprofen. "I was taking 3200 milligrams a day for six, eight, 10 years."
When he mentioned that quantity during a routine visit to his physician, his doctor had him stop taking the pain relievers. "I had been masking an incredible amount of pain," said Clement after he stopped using ibuprofen. "I couldn't walk."
Clement was surprised at the extent of the pain and the difficulty he had with daily activities. Getting in and out of his truck, walking up the flight of stairs to his office, and climbing into the choir loft at church, all became difficult and painful tasks.
"I love to hunt and I had deer stands on top of ridges that I couldn't reach," he said. "I had to be driven to them on a four-wheeler or an alligator. I couldn't duck hunt, because if my boots got stuck in the mud, it was all I could do to get the boots out."
Clement knew he needed to fix the problem and made an appointment with Randall Robbins, an orthopedic surgeon on staff at Methodist Medical Center. With Clement's knees so worn down and with so little cartilage left, there was little Dr. Robbins could do.
"I said, 'Let's replace them,'" remembers Clement, noting Dr. Robbins' surprise at his immediate willingness to have joint replacement surgery.
While it is uncommon, Clement and Dr. Robbins decided to do a bilateral knee replacement, which means both knees are replaced at the same time. Normally a patient needing both knees replaced would have the worst knee replaced and use the other knee for support during the rehabilitation process. Then a second surgery would be performed after a full recovery. In Clement's case, both of his knees were in such bad condition, he didn't have a knee to rely on during rehab.
Clement and Dr. Robbins felt that he could handle the challenge of a double replacement. "I'm a beast when it comes to rehab," said Clement who knew from his past experiences with therapy that he would fully commit himself to whatever he needed to do to recover. His surgery was scheduled for December 15, 2009 – when he knew his two children would be out of school for Christmas break and available to help him get back on his feet, literally. In the months leading up to his surgery, Clement dutifully followed the exercises he was instructed to do to prepare for his joint replacement.
He chose to have his bilateral knee replacement at Methodist's Joint Replacement Center.
"I had talked to people who had experienced infection issues at other institutions," said Clement. "I did some research and I found that Methodist Medical Center had a specialized unit that was all joint replacement and went above and beyond for a sterile environment."
Clement was not disappointed. "It was all good. Everyone was helpful, they came when I needed them, the room was nice and the people were great."
Clement still remembers his first evening in the Joint Replacement Center, "I thought they were crazy when they got me out of bed that night following my surgery that morning. I only took three steps out and three steps back, but I walked that first day."
With lots of hard work, Clement has made a full recovery. "I have three words to tell anybody who gets this done, 'rehab, rehab, rehab.'"
In addition to going to rehab, Clement followed a workout regimen that he did two times a day, seven days a week. "It wasn't all pretty," said Clement, but it put him where he wanted to be – back into life.
Clement is inspiring other Joint Replacement Center patients at Methodist as he returns as a volunteer in the rehab department of the center. "People say, 'this is hard – I can't do this.' I'll pull up my pant leg and say, 'yes, you can.'"
Clement says he returned to the Joint Replacement Center as a volunteer because he felt a need to give back. "I got good treatment and I felt they went above and beyond. People were really good to me, and, in a lot of ways, it gave me a new lease on life."
Now, Clement is enjoying the things he missed out on before his surgery. Prior to his joint replacement, he had gone on a golf trip. "I made it three days on a five day trip," remembers Clement. "I had my surgery in December and by April or May, I was golfing 90 holes. I just spent a week in Sarasota and I played 141 holes in five days on my new MMC knees!

A merry band of Montrealers who did time in Broken Social Scene before emerging with their own dangerous liaisons, Stars rests on the overblown romanticism of lead vocalists Torquil Campbell and Amy Milan. Prone to tossing rose petals at the crowd and sighing with a weepy Morrissey élan, Campbell is the David Guest to Milan's Liza Minelli; the band's showy romance played all for camp. Still, fans will rejoice in the emotional bombast, lush orchestration, and heady metaphors of tracks such as "I Died So I Can Haunt You" at Terminal 5's cinematic environs. It's Les Mis for less!

2011-12 Hoffman to Rutgers
Emma Hoffman, L10 at Rebound in New Jersey, has committed to compete for Rutgers next season. Hoffman finished in the top 10 AA at most of her 2010 meets, including a 9th place AA finish at regionals. She finished 1st AA (1st V/FX) at the NIT.
NLI: Stanford signs two
Sam Shapiro and Pauline Hanset have signed with Stanford for the 2011-12 season. Shapiro's commitment was covered previously. Hanset is a Level 10 from Premier Gymnastics in Tennessee. She placed in the top four AA in most of her meets last season and qualified to the Nastia Luikin Cup (20th AA). She finished her season with just two events at the NIT, but finished 1st on beam and 2nd on bars.
NLI: WVU Signs Three
West Virginia has signed three athletes: Dayah Haley, Lia Salzano and Maci Sump. The commits of all three were covered in prior news items. According to Coach Linda Burdette-Good, "Top to bottom, this is one of our most nationally experienced classes".

You could find matches very rarely, and it looked good. I don't want everything matching because it's all a shade of brown, grey, and blue. Purple, red, and solid blue looks good on casters. The Dungeon 1 Mage set was purple and gold. The Warlock black and red Tier 5. Not everything needs to be drab, and brown, grey, or blue.

Happy holidays! Here's some shame!
Dave Dameshek dishes out holiday gifts to the most shameful from Week 16 in the NFL.
Happy holidays! Here's some shame!
Dave Dameshek dishes out holiday gifts to the most shameful from Week 16 in the NFL.
Joe Flacco's playoff Hail Mary against the Broncos helped propel the Ravens to a Super Bowl title. Dave Dameshek explores the outcome had Flacco's pass fell flat. Animation courtesy of Bindledog.com.
The good news is summer has arrived. The better news is the start of the 2013 NFL season is less than 90 days away. While we wait, some of us are biding our time with fun little distractions like the NBA and/or Stanley Cup playoffs … but always looking to spin it forward to pro football.
However things turn out between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs, you can be sure David Stern and ABC television execs are relieved the conference runners-up, the Memphis Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers, aren't still playing. Over in the NHL, the league was no doubt pleased with a final that includes 1/3 of the "Original Six," not to mention a final four that also included the defending champion Los Angeles Kings and the star-laden Pittsburgh Penguins.
As promised, it leads us to this question: which NFL conference championship games and ensuing Super Bowl would be the most captivating to us fans in February of 2014? I'm glad I asked …
This was the most popular reply after I tweeted for suggestions (follow Dave on Twitter @Dameshek) … and it's a tough one with which to argue. On the AFC side, it's the last prime-time showdown (probably) between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, the two guys who defined pro football's first decade in the new millennium. The NFC title game features Round 3 of the NFL's newest "best rivalry."
Every Super Bowl comes with pressure, but for these teams — who've combined to lose the last two Super Bowls and who've both played two straight conference championship games — another loss in the big game would be positively devastating.
In the AFC, it's not quite Darth Vader vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi or Aaron Rodgers vs. Brett Favre (seeing as how those rivals were in the same place at the same time), but Peyton Manning v. Andrew Luck — in the Dome Peyton Built, no less — would be pretty compelling stuff. In the NFC, the Jints face yet another brutal title game on the road as they pay a visit to Soldier Field to face one of 2013's most potent offenses in snowy Chicago.
If you think two brothers coaching against each other in the big game caused a ruckus, imagine what'd happen if the Brothers Manning went head to head for all the marbles. Sure, seeing it in their hometown last year might've been even better, but Peyton (and his one ring) visiting Eli (and his two rings) with the Lombardi on the line wouldn't be too bad.
Forget the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium — it'd be trumped by the events in the same joint two Sundays prior, when both the stadium's residents host the championship games on the same day. Throughout the concourses and parking lots, potbellied guys in blue No. 56 jerseys and green No. 12 jerseys would be high fiving one another while just this once, Mike Lupica would be accurate in portraying New York as the only place that matters.
Two weeks' worth of cracks about New York's football teams playing each other in New Jersey notwithstanding, Eli vs. The Sanchise Geno Smith shooting it out for bragging rights would be fun for fans in the five boroughs and beyond.
Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning waging war a mile high to become king of the AFC mountain is the stuff of Shakespeare (assuming the Bard digs pigskin), while Michael Vick — the forefather to this generation's running QBs — takes on RG3.
Fans couldn't complain about a Broncos-Eagles Super Bowl, but we can't miss the opportunity to see sophomore superstars Luck and Griffin go head to head.
For those fans who follow the game's history, this would be the ultimate final four. On the AFC side, the six-time Super Bowl champion Steelers and thrice-victorious Raiders resuscitate their 20th-century postseason rivalry, while in the NFC another Dallas-San Francisco title-game chapter is written for the first time since Troy Aikman and Steve Young.
A showdown between the Steelers and the five-time champion Niners, arguably the NFL's two greatest Super Bowl-era dynasties, would be great, but better still is the fourth Super Bowl installment of Pittsburgh and Dallas (the NFL's version of Celtics-Lakers) battling it out — again — for the Lombardi. By late Super Sunday, the Steelers would have seven rings, or the Cowboys would have a sixth.
(By the way, Ben Roethlisberger vs. Tony Romo trumps any soap opera or reality show imaginable.)
If that last final four was for the league's "haves," this one's for the "have nots" — specifically, some of the longest-suffering fanbases in the NFL. (Sorry, Arizona Cardinals fans, we only have four spots.) On one side, we have Cleveland visiting Buffalo, the home to some of pro football's most loyal fans; and in the NFC, two North foes tangle in the Vikes' dome, which has been rendered exponentially better by the football gods on the eve of the game when a blizzard breaks the baggy roof and dumps 10 inches of fresh powder on the field.
In MetLife, it would be the Vikings (0-4 all time in the Super Bowl) against the Bills (0-4 in Super Bowls) — not exactly a legendary showdown, but the teams and their fanbases — accustomed to chilly conditions — are a perfect fit in what could be a frigid event. By NFL rules — and moral decency — someone has to win … even if the final score is 5-4.
The defending champs have to go on the road to play the AFC's most complete team, while the Niners pay a visit to the toughest place in the NFL for a visiting team to win.
What, you didn't enjoy the last Super Bowl? It had everything: Big plays, an exhilarating comeback attempt, and a convenient (albeit extended) bathroom break in the third quarter. In other words … Harbowl II!
The 2013 offseason (and AFC East) champion Dolphins visit Arrowhead Stadium, in the same city that on Christmas Day of 1971 Miami and Kansas City played the longest game in NFL history. The NFC title is a rematch of the teams in the 1960 NFL Championship Game, this time with the game's best QB going against Chip Kelly's revolutionary offense.
Andy Reid going against the Eagles about an hour away from Philly would be nice … and would extend the Christmas holiday with the green-and-red color scheme. You might have noticed we didn't take the opportunity to match the Chiefs and Packers, which would be a rematch of the first Super Bowl … but that one's better saved for the golden anniversary Super Bowl game in the 49ers' new stadium, especially since it'd pit former San Francisco QB Alex Smith against Bay Area kid Aaron Rodgers.
That's still two years away, though. We've still gotta figure out the best matchups for February of 2015 in suburban Phoenix.

Shek and an under-the-weather Rank welcome Around The League scribes/podcast stalwarts Marc Sessler and Dan Hanzus along with England's No. 1 Dolphins fan, Handsome Hank, for a heated debate. Some of the topics discussed included South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney, the scourge of Valentine's Day, the best jersey for a Baltimore Ravens fan to own, the 2013 NFL playoff seedings, and if Shek should tuck in his button-down shirts.
Download: DDFP 131: 2013 Playoff Seeding, Valentine's Day
Last night, I came across this tweet from NFL.com's "Handsome" Hank Hodgson on my timeline.
Welp … close enough for me! Let's face it: The confetti's been swept, the parade is over, and Ray Lewis is playing a leisurely game of Mahjong (probably.)
Point is, the 2012 season is in the rearview mirror. Teams, players and prospective players have already turned their focus to next season. So while those guys set their draft board, practice Wonderlic tests, and prep their answers to questions about fake girlfriends, I say it's high time we get to the business of doing what we do best: Recklessly speculating about the future. Specifically, it's time to share the first installment of the 2013 NFL Playoff Projections — or Pro-SHEK-tions, if you please.
Be forewarned, Baltimore Ravens fans: No past achievement "they're the champs 'til someone beats 'em" jive here. The following is how I believe things will stack up in January of 2014, regardless of where they finished this past season. They say the NFL is a "what have you done for me lately" league, and — as of Monday morning — no one has done anything. (Well, except the New York Giants … who proved the veracity of the aforementioned cliché by cutting Ahmad Bradshaw, the guy who scored the Super Bowl-winning TD 53 Sundays ago.)
So here they are, the seedings for the 2013 NFL playoffs, the accuracy of which I absolutely, positively guarantee*.
*Unless I change my mind.
1. Houston Texans — They'll be on a mission to finish stronger than they did in 2012; loads of talent on both sides of the ball and the AFC South isn't exactly a juggernaut division.
2. Denver Broncos — Those "easiest strength of schedule" projections are based on last season's records, but Andy Reid's Chiefs and Mike McCoy's Bolts will both be more competitive in '13. Still, Peyton Manning is a regular-season winning machine, and will do enough to claim the West again.
3. Cincinnati Bengals — Ironically, the biggest question mark is Marvin Lewis; if 2012 first-rounder Dre Kirkpatrick catches on, Mike Zimmer's defense could be (even more) dominant; Andy Dalton is barely above average, but has a young and talented receiving corps, led by the sublime A.J. Green.
4. New England Patriots — Hey, Bill Belichick, that knocking you hear is the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills. If that o-line can't hold up, the Pats' drop from the top will come sooner than later.
5. Kansas City Chiefs — The preseason QB battle here will be interesting, but KC fans shouldn't wring their hands if Matt Cassel winds up with the gig. Remember, he won the division just two years ago. Otherwise, this collection of dynamic guys is gonna take off with Reid, who'll be coaching with a chip on his shoulder.
6. Miami Dolphins — That's right, I just typed it! While other rookie QBs (rightly) got more attention, Ryan Tannehill had a nice, little season while throwing the ball to one of the NFL's lousiest groups of pass catchers. Mike Wallace and/or Greg Jennings and/or Dwayne Bowe will change that in 2013. And that defense is legit.
Close, but not cigar
Baltimore Ravens (the dreaded Super Bowl hangover plus a still-aging D equals a step back); Indianapolis Colts (Andrew Luck is great; the defense is not); Pittsburgh Steelers (the o-line has a chance to be fantastic, but lots of questions almost everywhere else); Buffalo Bills (love the coaching moves, but need an upgrade at QB to be a threat in the AFC East).
1. Green Bay Packers — Aaron Rodgers remains the best quarterback in the world and the defense has added some nice pieces to the puzzle. They play in a division in which the one-man Vikes and elderly Bears figure to fall back in 2013. The key to making a Super Bowl run will be fixing that dreadful offensive line.
2. San Francisco 49ers — It doesn't matter if it's Colin Kaepernick, Alex Smith or Dameshek under center, the Niners' o-line is dominant enough to keep this team relevant. The good news is that John Harbaugh's younger brother has the most complete team in the league. The bad news is that this team is in one of the league's toughest divisions. (Remember when the NFC West was a punchline?)
3. New Orleans Saints — Not thrilled with the hire of the overrated Rob Ryan as coordinator of a shaky defense, but is there any chance Sean Payton and Drew Brees don't look at the 2013 season as the opportunity to reap their vengeance on all who dare get in their path?
4. Dallas Cowboys — In a league of trends and copycats, it feels like it might finally be Tony Romo's turn to follow in the footsteps of Eli Manning and Joe Flacco and get over the hump. They've got plenty of dynamic players, but of course, that's never been the issue. If they can just beef up Romo's protection (easier said than done, I know … but I'm a glass half-full guy), Jerry's 'Boys will make their long-awaited return to relevance.
5. Seattle Seahawks — Much like the Niners, with whom they now have the NFL's "next great rivalry" (sorry, Steelers and Ravens, you had a good run at the top), the 'Hawks are loaded just about everywhere you look. Even if Russell Wilson suffers a sophomore slump, a great defense, o-line, and the highly underrated Marshawn Lynch are enough to steady any team.
6. St. Louis Rams — In 2011, when everyone was picking them to win the division, I told you they'd start 0-5 … and they did. In 2012, when everyone was picking them to stink, I told you Jeff Fisher would right the ship and get 'em winning … and he did. In fact, Fisher's team went 2-1-1 against the 49ers and Seahawks. Sam Bradford has slipped through the cracks, but he's still a young, big-armed guy who's main problem has been the lack of viable pass catchers to target. If/when Les Snead addresses that this offseason, Chris Long, Janoris Jenkins, and the rest of the Rams will be ready to step up in the brutal NFC West.
Close, but not cigar
Atlanta Falcons (2012's No. 1 seed out of the playoffs? Those two WRs are tough to stop, but they're mediocre elsewhere. Plus, the NFC South will be greatly improved, with Cam Newton's Carolina Panthers ready to bust out and Doug Martin's Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking to build on some legitimate glimmers of hope in the middle of 2012); Detroit Lions (they'll finish second in the NFC North, but outside the playoffs); New York Giants (Hakeem Nicks would be one of the five best WRs in the NFL if he could ever stay healthy … but he can't); Chicago Bears (Marc Trestman has a detailed plan in place, but how is he gonna replace Brian Urlacher and other aging pieces?).
So … how'd I do? Agree or disagree with my Pro-SHEK-tions? Speak now or … don't. Either way.

text: 5 Not as bad as all thatdigitalmaverick | 30/07/2008 | See all digitalmaverick's reviews (10)This game has been widely panned as being a poor game with gameplay modelled on Risk (the boardgame). Indeed some reviewers have said how poor the game is here on this site. However, I would like to argue that it is not at all as bad as it is made out to be. I owe so much to this game, because as a Trek-mad dad I have been trying to introduce my 11 year old son (an avid gamer, he's no novice) to the delights of the mythology of Star Trek for years to little avail... until I bought this game. My son is now a FULLY confessed Trekkie and I attribute this to him enjoying this game so much. Through the game he has learned about ships (that he now spots in episodes he watches) and races which has all helped his understanding of the TV show. So all in all, I can't praise this game highly enough for fulfilling my dream of turning my son into a Trekkie!

Got to wonder here too, I've seen a hunter pet go in AV and tank a boss, and hunters are already one of the easiest classes to solo already.
I guess people just want it even easier :P
I have a warlock as an alt, even with the improved voidwalker it never holds aggro for more than a brief time, its never been a problem since I can deathcoil, fear, CoEx the mob. Hunters have even more options + a real cheap aggro dump.

Hello all, Newbie with a sick Subie.
My daughters 2000 Outback is throwing a P0444 code. She also complains that the car smells like gas while the car is warming up. There were a couple of leaking fuel lines that were repaired,but this did not totally fix the problem.
Would the code being displayed have anything to do with the fuel smell. Also,can anyone point me to the location of the failing part causing the code.
It's really bothering me that she has this fuel smell. Is there a danger that the car may catch fire?
Thank you for any help in this matter.

Football Tackles Concussion Risk
Hitting Young Players Hard continued...
"The long-term effects of a few concussions on the young athlete is an incomplete book," Lovell says. "We're just starting to scratch the surface"
"You don't have to play for a number of years in the NFL to have brain trauma that can cause long-term damage," Cantu says. "You can pick up enough of that trauma just playing in high school and college."
High school athletes who have suffered as few as two concussions may already have the signs of "post-concussion syndrome," researchers reported in January 2011.
They found that young athletes who had had at least two concussions were more likely to have:
- Brain symptoms, such as memory problems or feeling mentally "foggy."
- Physical symptoms, including headaches, problems with balance, or feeling dizzy.
- Sleep symptoms -- specifically, sleeping either more or less than they normally would.
A major problem for young athletes is that high school and even some college programs may not have the resources to protect their players from concussion.
"At the professional and, to a lesser extent, the collegiate level, everybody's trying to protect these athletes from getting hurt. But at the lower level, it's not managed as well," says Connecticut neurologist Anthony Alessi, MD.
"There's not usually a doctor on the sidelines at a high school football game to evaluate an athlete after a concussion," Lovell says. "And most high school football teams don't have athletic trainers."
Schools often cite cost as the problem.
"Many high schools say they can't afford to have an athletic trainer. I say that means you can't afford to have a program," Alessi says. "If you can't afford to make the program safe, then you should be closing it up."

Shapedown® Program
A family approach to healthier lifestyle.
Facts ... About child and adolescent obesity
Help your child get to a healthy weight.
Shapedown® is a ten-week program that can help children feel better about themselves. Participants will learn how to be more active, have more outside interests, and eat in a healthy pleasurable way. It also helps parents understand how to support their child in a positive way, be a good role model, and reduce family tension around the child's weight and eating. Shapedown® supports good communication skills between family members and encourages the parents to set appropriate limits for the child.
How does Shapedown® work?
Assessment: Parent(s) and children who meet the criteria take part in an assessment of their medical, social, psychological, and fitness needs.
Care Plan: Based on this assessment, a care plan is developed that identifies specific goals for the family and determines whether Shapedown® is an appropriate program for the family.
Families who are eligible for participation in the Shapedown® Program are offered a group program that runs for 10 weekly sessions of about two hours each. The team is made up of a registered dietitian, social worker and an exercise specialist.
Please call (313) 966-8161 for more details. Scholarships and tuition assistance are available.
Who is eligible?:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does Shapedown® really work?
Yes. Shapedown® is a program that has shown to produce significant long-term results that decreases relative weight, improves weight-related behavior, self-esteem, depression, and knowledge.
What if parent(s) can't attend?
It is important that parent(s) do attend the weekly sessions. This is a program designed to change the habits of the entire family. Both the child and the parent(s) will have assignments to complete. If parents believe their child is the only one who needs to change, then the program will not work. Parent commitment is essential in making a real change in the child's life.
What if parent(s) are not ready or willing to make lifestyle changes?
Then Shapedown® is not right for the child and family. The philosophy of this program is that parent(s) should not ask of their child anything they are not willing to do themselves.
What kind of diet will there be to follow?
Shapedown® is NOT a diet. Diets typically cause the body to feel deprived and, as a consequence, to overeat. Instead, Shapedown® supports the gradual adoption of appropriate food intake that provides essential nutrients based on the Recommended Dietary Reference Intakes and the National Cholesterol Education Program Guidelines.
What about exercise?
Shapedown ® stresses overall fitness, including endurance, flexibility and strength. Children and parents develop a more active lifestyle and replace television viewing and other inactive pursuits with family and peer activities, sports, projects and other interests.
Click here for a brochure about the program.
For more information or to register for the Shapedown® Program, please call (313) 966-8161.

CHADBOURN, NC (WECT) – Police in Chadbourn say an investigation into a fatal shooting that happened in December is taking a little longer than expected because of the type of gun that was involved.
According to police, James Blackwell, 23, fired a rifle from a home on Third Avenue into a house across the street. The bullet hit three people, killing one, in the process.
Jasmine Thar, 16 of Charlotte, Jahmeshia McMillian, and Traeka McMillan, 42, were outside, loading up their car for a trip to Myrtle Beach. Thar died of her injuries.
An initial investigation shows the incident may have been an accident as the result of Blackwell attempting to clean his rifle. The young man was taken into custody but was later released and has not been charged.
According to Shaw, the SBI is on back log, but due to the sensitivity of the incident, he believes the investigation into the gun will have priority on their list. Shaw expects to hear something soon.

Taylor Swift is still horribly broken-hearted after her split from Jake Gyllenhaal. Taylor and Jake barely dated for an eye blink, but us mortals forget that 6-8 weeks in celebrity land is a hell of a long time.
After splitting in late December, Taylor Swift is still torn up inside after another failed romance. A friend of hers told Popeater.com:
"Taylor is not exactly a loner, but she fares well on her own and will be fine if she doesn't hook up with a guy immediately."
According to several reports, Swift hasn't recovered from the breakup and isn't her usual bubbly self. If anything, she's busy in the studio working on her breakup song.
Oh, yes. America is waiting for the epic Jake Gyllenhaal break-up song! Her songs are a better than a gossip tabloid story!

Following on from the post by beeswax...
I wish to host internally a server running moodle. I've no problem getting LAMP and Moodle installed and working (already have a windows box running Moodle and LAMP box on which I'm playing with Typo3 for our web site).
My query is over the security of making a LAMP box visible from outside whilst still allowing the web server to see our AD for authentication.
I know it's technically possible and was all up for doing it today whilst our tech support company was in on their contracted day, but they put some doubts into my mind.
My understanding is that if the server is connected to the DMZ and the (hardware) firewall is configured correctly nothing should be able to get through to main part of the network and only allowed traffic (port 80) will get to the web server.
Techie chap's persuasion was that if someone managed to get control of the LAMP machine they may be able to get into the network.
Now, the big problem is that this stuff is beyond my knowledge and I can't speak authoritatively about it AND tech support company don't suport Linux (or even Apache on any platform). So they are likely to try and convince me it can't be done easily or securely.

Unfortunately, at the moment it's very likely that we will not. Between the fandoms we have, it's already a very intricate and delicate balance to keep the integrity of all of them. Even though we may not have your particular fandom –– the ones we do have offer a wide range for a variety of OCs, so there's room for everyone.
~ Lian
That's completely understandable. Trust me from experience fourm rp can seem very overwhelming at first but it's not nearly as complicated as it seems. Getting the hang of it is no trouble at all. I can promise any question you might have, anyone on the site would be more than happy to help.
~ Mel
We absolutely do accept OCs! We encourage it!

I think it's safest to say that, no, we're a mostly AU rpg. While some things are the same, some things are definitely very different from all of the shows. We do our best to actively try and pull in elements from the shows current plots and tailor them to fit the rp.

Yes, we do need Dean. Unfortunately, the existing reservation lapsed. You're more than welcome to join us on site and try out.

Once Klaus found the answer to his hybrid problem, he set about creating as many hybrids for his army as quickly as he could. He's presently left with the dilemma of not being able to make any more, having been left without a human doppelgänger after Elena was turned into a vampire. However, this doesn't stop him appreciating and ordering around the hybrids he did manage to make.
Please Note: There are plenty of places still available to original hybrid characters. The following list is just a guideline as to the playbys we would like to see on site. Please don't feel you have to stick to these playbys if you wish to apply as a hybrid. Just remember that you will have to be a hybrid already, not an Oak White werewolf that wishes to be turned.

Vin is the older brother of John and the uncle of Vivian. Having had a disturbing encounter with a demon during his teenage years, he spent the rest of his life training and hunting demons and other supernatural beings. He is very anti-demon, making sure all the Cranes were kitted out with anti-possession tattoos and generally acting very weird throughout Vivian's life.

Theodore "Ted" Crane || 30 || Supernatural || Human || Arthur Darvill
Minutes younger than his twin, Ted is still one of Vivian's big brothers. Dory, as she calls him, is a former fire fighter. Sadly, in his late teens, he started to suffer with the same affliction that plagues their father - paranoid schizophrenia. It was this that made him feel he could no longer be a public servant and has been unemployed and trying to manage his condition ever since.

Sergeant Thomas "Tom" Crane || 30 || Supernatural || Human || Arthur Darvill
The only ways in which Thomas is identical to his twin, Theodore, are the fact that they look the same and they are the big brothers of Vivian. That is where the similarities end really. Tommy, as Vivian calls him, is an R.A.F. Intelligence Officer, having joined cadets early on in his life. He's spent his life working his way up through the ranks to be where he is today.

Dr. Helen Crane || 48 || Supernatural || Human || Kimberly Williams-Paisley
The other Dr. Crane is Vivian's rather uptight mother. Like John, she is a former lawyer, now teaching Law at the University of Manchester. She has never approved of the educational and career path that her daughter ultimately joined, but as John has always observed - she is very difficult to please. Despite all of this, she seems to be rather possessive about her children.

Amazon launches virtual currency
Larry Dignan at ZDnet reports on Amazon's new money. The company sells everything, but the Amazon Coin will initially be used only for apps in the company's Kindle Fire platform. Still, if they build the currency, they can use it for anything else that they do. That means, the only reason you cannot use the Amazon Coin to buy this Batman Apron, this pumice stone, or this wood chipper is because Amazon has decided against it. For now.
Comments on Amazon launches virtual currency:
I don't quite understand this. But I would like to know more details about the Amazon virtual currency and what it means for a regular Amazon buyer. Do you have more information about this or can you point me in the right directions?

Top 4 Storylines for NFL Week 10
Top 4 Storylines for NFL Week 10
Week 10 enters a pivotal time in the National Football League, where many teams face make or break situations in their seasons. While some teams continue to jockey for playoff position, others hold on for dear life, trying to keep their playoff hopes alive for one more week.
Every game has some sort of impact on playoff structure, but some hold much more interesting storylines than others. Let's face it, we want to see good teams play good football.
Luckily, there's plenty of good football to watch this week.
Our list of story lines include a Super Bowl champion quarterback trying to get his groove back, another one trying to defy the odds to bring his team back from the depths, two teams trying to pass their first real tests of the season, and a pair of coaches simply trying to get out of the way of their talented teams before their owners remove them for good.
With only 16 games in a season, every NFL week is important, but for these teams, players and games, week 10 means just a little bit more.
4 - Can Eli Manning Right the Ship?
If it feels like the New York Giants do this every year, well, it's because they kind of do. They get off to a hot start, struggle in the middle of the season, they get it back on track and make the playoffs. So far the script seems to be on schedule with last season, which led to a Super Bowl victory, but nothing is given to anyone in the NFL.
The only difference is that, in past years, Eli Manning has continued to play well even as his team has struggled. The past two weeks this season, however, Manning has struggled. He was especially non-existent last week.
Manning has accomplished enough in his career that no one is too worried, but you can't struggle for too many weeks in a row in the NFL and still be able to overcome it. The Giants need to right the ship this week.
3 - Can Drew Brees Pull Off an Impossible Comeback?
When we think about comebacks in the NFL, we think of them coming in the second half of individial games. Drew Brees is attempting to pull off a comback that spans the second half of a season.
With all of the turmoil surrounding the New Orleans Saints this season, it's amazing that we can even discuss them as a playoff team, but they're playing better, and as long as Drew Brees is under center, you can't count them out.
2 - Biggest Test for Houston Texans and Chicago Bears
