April 9, 2012
As ESPN's resident bracketologist, Joe Lunardi has become a household name every year when March Madness rolls around. With the tournament having recently ended, Joe had some time to answer our questions about the NCAAs. Be sure to check out Joe's page over at ESPN for his tournament updates and projections throughout the year. His first 2013 bracket will be out on Friday, April 13th.
You're the biggest bracket guy maybe in the history of the NCAA Tournament. So I've got to ask, do you fill out a bracket yourself? If so, how do you typically fare?
Of course I do a bracket (for amusement only!). ESPN.com uses it for all kinds of things, plus I enter contests at home and in the office. Most years I have a respectable finish, but rarely win. Maybe it's like the tournament itself, where the so-called "favorites" rarely win (Kentucky notwithstanding!).
Nearly everyone knows you as ESPN's Bracketologist, but you're also the Assistant Vice President of Marketing Communications and provide commentary during games at your alma mater, St. Joe's. I always think the A-10 Conference is a bit underrated on a national scale. Following basketball and interacting with people around the country, do you ever get that sense?
I think the perception of the A-10 is appropriate and positive. The league wants to be known as the best basketball-only conference in the country, and the data over time bears that out. Aside from a blip in 2005, the Atlantic 10 has consistently been a multi-bid league with a number of schools – Temple, UMass, Saint Joseph's and Xavier — having stretches in the national spotlight. Losing Temple to the Big East in 2013 will certainly hurt, but I'm hearing very good things about potential replacement(s).
During the season on your ESPN page, you post your weekly bracket updates. It gets even more maddening the week leading up to the tournament when you have daily updates. But with recruiting, transfers, injuries … all of those things can play into how a team is seeded. So this is really like a year-round job to some degree, correct?
It's become a year-round fascination, to be sure, but nothing like the non-stop attention from the end of the Super Bowl until Selection Sunday. I literally could update the bracket every 20 minutes during that time and people still couldn't get enough. And it's almost amusing that I'm now getting several messages a day suggesting that we are "late" (or "lazy") in posting the first bracket for 2013. Well that's coming on Friday, a couple days after the deadline for underclassmen to enter the draft. Not much point in doing a bracket before then.
In a typical season, about how many games do you watch?
Less than you might think. The TV is never off, but the number of times I sit still and watch a game uninterrupted is probably no more than 50. What I do non-stop is track scores and schedules, then, in the many cases in which individual results deviate from expectations, I go back and read game summaries and box scores. The S-Curve is updated constantly, even if the public bracket is not.
This year, I believe your only miss in your final projection was on Seton Hall. The Pirates being left out with 20 wins playing in the Big East was a bit of a surprise for me. What did you see in them that made you think they would get the nod over Iona, who was eventually the team that made the field?
It was an educated guess, nothing more. I personally would not have voted for Seton Hall as the Pirates tailed off badly down the stretch. My prediction was based upon what I thought the Selection Committee would do. My own vote for "last team in" would have gone to Drexel, which really had little chance given its strength of schedule numbers.
Bigger 15-seed upset this year: Lehigh beating Duke or Norfolk State beating Missouri?
Probably Norfolk State, as the performance gap between the Spartans and Missouri was a good bit wider than that between Lehigh and Duke.
With so many college players to watch, I've always wondered if you're a big NBA fan? Do you follow them into the pros or are you too focused on the next crop of young talent coming into the NCAA?
Medium. While I do pay attention to players I've personally covered or gotten to know (usually from the Atlantic 10), for the most part the NBA is a non-factor for me. For one, most players of impact in college are not immediate regulars in the NBA (which is a separate problem in terms of sustaining fan interest from one level to the next). And, two, I usually take a "basketball break" after the NCAA tournament to spend time with my family and at my "regular" job. I am a huge baseball fan and also love the NHL playoffs, so it's more likely my TV is tuned in those directions in April, May and June.

1956 dodge coronet for sale $7500, Blue, for sale in WINSTON SALEM, North Carolina, for $7,500.
1956 Dodge Coronet, "The Forward Look", 4 door sedan, original V-8 runs strong, dash mounted push button selector for the automatic transmission, light blue, with nice, clean, black and white interior, good brakes and tires. It is a very enjoyable daily driver car to enjoy. NEW: battery, carb rebuild, tuneup, $1116 front end rebuild just completed, valve cover gaskets, master cylinder, fuel pump, brakes, rear window gasket, front end alignment, front end rebuild, alternator, front transmission seal, and more. This 1956 Dodge is a product of Virgil Exner's design team called "The Forward Look". When you see it, what strikes you, though it will take some time for you to figure it out, is the long, gentle, sweeping arc stretching uninterrupted from headlight brow to tail light tip. And those headlights, unlike the previous year's Dodge—and unlike those of Ford and Chevrolet—are hidden from the side by forward-canted hoods. The taillights are hooded with a complimentary rearward cant. It gives the new Dodge a sense of being in forward motion even while standing still. The doors open and close with a solid thunk, not a hollow metallic whap like today's cars. The front grille is a handsome, massive affair, and it looks spectacular between those hooded headlights. Because of its "flight sweep" styling, this car draws a crowd.Selling for less than amount invested, $7500.

Fall Ball Check-in: Georgetown
This week's edition of Random Stick Check also is the first in a series of updates from fall ball practices from around DI. We'll be hitting schools all over the map to see how things are looking as everybody starts the long process of getting ready for the spring.
We start with Georgetown. The Hoyas missed the NCAA Tournament last year for the first time since 1996. Can the very talented group rebound and get back atop the ECAC in their final year before jumping to the Big East?
Fall Philosophy
Georgetown approaches the fall in a similar way to the Ivy League. It could use up to six practices per week, but coach Dave Urick prefers to use three practices and one individual skill session.
"I think we're on the shallow end of what other people are doing," Urick says. "But it's an important time for our guys to get adjusted academically."

With all the Super Volcanoe talk I forgot to post this
By DUSTIN BLEIZEFFER
Star-Tribune energy reporter Monday, January 31, 2005 Casper Star-Tribune (307) 266-0500 Pumping units -- those metal dinosaurs incessantly bobbing their heads at the ground -- are disappearing in Wyoming, along with shrinking oil reserves. They're disappearing by the dozens in the 100-year-old Salt Creek field 45 miles north of Casper, clearing the landscape for the next generation of production technology: carbon dioxide flooding. The metal rocking horses are replaced with simple well heads and pressure equipment. Imagine the five spot on a domino. CO2 and water is injected into the center dot, pushing more oil out of the four surrounding dots. And in this manner, enhanced oil recovery will stop the decline of oil production in Wyoming this year for the first time in two decades, according to industry officials. "We're retrofitting a 100-year-old oil field, so we're not disturbing new lands," said Rick Robitaille, spokesman for Anadarko Petroleum. "By rejuvenating these historic fields, we will help slow -- if not stem -- that (oil production) decline for a while." The flow of Wyoming crude oil has steadily dwindled an average 5 percent each year since the drilling bust of 1985. During that time, coal and natural gas development grew to fill in the state's mineral-based economic foundation as oil trickled out. If oil's retreat is delayed, it would maintain an annual flow of 50-plus million barrels of production and nearly $130 million in property and severance taxes into state coffers. "These new enhanced oil recovery projects, if they are as successful as we hope, could in fact flatten out the depletion curve for as long as they are on line," Wyoming State Geologist Ron Surdam said. Anadarko Petroleum is leading the enhanced oil recovery effort in Wyoming. For the past two years, the company has been replacing miles of old pipelines and re-tooling hundreds of old wells at the expansive Salt Creek field -- an effort that has created some 200 new jobs in the area. In 2004, the company began injecting CO2 into the Wall Creek 2 formation, adding about 1,500 barrels of oil per day atop the base flow of 3,500 barrels per day. And there are 11 more formations to "sweep" with CO2, Robitaille said. The Monell field in Sweetwater County was an abandoned oil field. Anadarko expects to yield some primary recovery there, then keep production strong with CO2 flooding. The company also plans to extend its CO2 recovery efforts to the Sussex field in southern Johnson County. Based on those three projects alone, and a scattering of new oil wells, the Wyoming Consensus Revenue Estimating Group estimates that Wyoming oil decline will actually reverse, according to Don Likwartz, director of the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, who serves on CREG. "We show it going up slightly in 2006, and then continue to increase through 2009, and then start back down in 2010," Likwartz said. That outlook might be surpassed if other oil companies tap into Anadarko's CO2 supply. When Anadarko bought the Salt Creek field from Howell Corp. in 2002, it also purchased the marketing rights of CO2 production at ExxonMobile's LaBarge gas plant in southwest Wyoming. Other companies had tried to complete a CO2 pipeline from LaBarge to Salt Creek in the southern Powder River Basin, and in 2003 Anadarko completed the construction. Industry officials hope the CO2 connection will be the lifeline that gives Wyoming's oil industry a few more good years. Likwartz said projections that today's high oil prices will remain keeps that prospect alive and well. "We think demand will continue to go up and we won't be able to match it with production, and the cost will go up," Likwartz said. [B] There is still alot of oil in Wyoming , Salt Creek was one of the worlds largest oil patches , and one of the best producing oil fields ........ The Red Desert is full of oil . maybe even bigger then ANWAR ...... |

Hate their online banking - when I log into my bank account I only want to have to remember a password, not a password, my customer number AND a pin. The card reader for paying bills adds another layer of hassle.
In branch has even been more frustrating, with tellers who can't seem to handle anything but the most basic transactions in less than 20 minutes.
I'll be switching just as soon as I can.

Re "My Personal Annual Statement"
This is just to express how much I liked receiving my Annual Statement (that I had no idea was coming to me!) and the simplicity of the details using graphs - fantastic to present (where necessary!) as a record of my finances ...very good for me to see Annual Income versus Annual Outgoings and had a little laugh that I finished up with a difference of £8.19 in credit! Congratulations Natwest!

I have online banking with natwest and find it so easy to use. If i have any problems the call centres are only too happy to help and always get any issues resolved asap.
The online payment system is very secure and easy to use. I have been with natwest for almost ten years and would never considering changing.
The staff in the branch are helpful and it is easy to update information on your account. They offer great savings plan online also and great online account interest rates.

I've been with Natwest over 7 years now. The online service is good - easy to get around and quite secure. I like the card reader security feature. Sadly I don't rate their customer services highly. In fact I find it appauling. I did a contract in South Africa during the world cup and due to some issues of not being able to transfer funds from South Africa to my Natwest acc I fell into arrears.

Time-saving features such as the 'quick transfer' which allows you to easily transfer cash between your NatWest account by selecting the 'from' and 'to' accounts from the drop-down list, entering the amount, and clicking 'OK' are fantastic.

i have been with Natwest for 15 years and they were fine but seem to have been caught up in the IT revolution. Instead of using IT to simplify their banking, it seems that they have got carried away and it is constantly changing. I can't phone up because apparently there is a new phone log in number, I have randomly been frozen out of my online banking so they can check my details.
I have other bank accounts and don't seem to have any problems, but Natwest seems to be a constant battle!

Home > Product Reviews > Humidifier Reviews, Portable Home Humidifiers - Kaz > Protec PC-2-3 6 Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridges Product Reviews
Protec Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridge 6 Pack Product ReviewsModel Number: PC-2-3 Category: Humidifiers Color: Blue Price: $29.97 Sale Price: $24.99 Save: $4.98 (16% off) Great ideaThese make the water for a humidifier worry-free. No germs equal no worry.Less maintenance. Great price!I have less and easier maintenance since using Protec cartridges in both our humidifiers (one has a Protec holder, the other I just toss it in the tank). I've checked prices locally and online. If you joing Savings Circle and order the 6-pack, the price can't be beat! Great ProductThis is a great product--definitely reduces the maintenance required on our humidier. And a much better price than where we first bought them! ProtecWe use the Protec cleaning cartridges in a couple of large humidifiers to reduce the buildup of algae in the humidifier reservoirs. The Protec cartridge definitely reduces the amount of algae growth, but on the other hand, it seems to cause the algae that does grow, to clump up and causes the filter screen to plug up quicker. We are still undecided if this situation is an improvement in the operation of the humidifiers. Great!!Love Kaz! The Protec water purifiers are super! Have used them for many years and Kaz always has the best prices! Anti microbial humidifier ballsExcellent, fast shipping! These have been next to impossible to find in the stores, found them here and they were so much cheaper. Thanks for a great product! Humidifier CartridgesExcellent! These really help to minimize bacterial growth in any humidifier. Buy several to replace whenever changing your humidifier filter. Small but powerfulProtec is so easy to use and I find it works very well. A great value for the price. discountsThe products I purchased were just fine - that being filters and the cleaning ball cartridges for our humidifier. My only complaint is that while I generally order but once a season - if is only AFTER the fact of my purchase that I am then swamped with discounted offers. They are of no use to me after the fact! Great DealMuch cheaper than ordering one by one on other sites. Seems to work good, haven't had any problems. Mr SpiveyYes I think using the Protec cleaning cartrage once a month dose a Great Job!!!! Great productI am very pleased with these cleaning cartridges. Just drop them in and you don't have to wonder if your water is clean or not! Protec cleanig cartridgeReally like the easy use of these cartiridges. I feel like I'm doing the most I can to benefit from my vaporizer. I use it nightly during heating season and haven't had a cold or upper respiratory inf in about 3 years. Good ValueLiving in an area of Colorado where the water is very hard, these capsules are needed to ensure a long life for the humidifier. Wish they were a little cheaper though. Protec CleanersGreat product for keeping sediments and other deposits out of the water. It will actually reduce the wear on your machine, antimicrobial cleaning cartridgeWonderful product! Really reduces the white dust and I wish I had bought them years ago. cleaning cartridgesThis product is easy to use and well worth the money spent. Using a humidifier at night, during the winter months, for the last few years has proven to have many health benefits. High quality productThis product is a bit expensive, but in my opinion, well worth it for the quality as well as peace of mind that I am using clean water to humidify my home. Good insurance for germ-free waterA bit expensive, but definitely high quality and worth the $$$ for the peace of mind. Great PriceThe protec cleaning cartridge is sold at a great price versus local store, and has kept the tank clear from mold and sludge. Works great! HUGE HELPProtec REALLY helps keep your humidifer cleaner! I have been using them for 3 years and will never stop! Protec Cleaning CartrigeNot only is the cartrige keeping the mineral content down, but I also was unable to find the item at any stores in my area! humidifier cleaning cartridgeI would never use a humidifier again without these cartridges. It keeps the water tanks from getting moldy and slimy. Will definitely reorder. I ordered and they were shipped immediately works fineThe prodauct works fine. My humudufiers (I have Sharper Image Ultrasonic humidifiers) are clean now. cleaning cartridgesWe got lazy and didn't reoder our cartridges for awhile. Ewwww...what a nasty mess that needed constant cleaning. I'll make sure we always have these on hand, as they keep the water cleaner & fresh, and most importantly, healthy for us. Clean water for peace of mind!I've been using these Protec balls ever since my daughter came into my life, and I've not regretted it! The humidifier I use is the dual-tank Vicks V790 (i think), and it seems to help keep the mineral pad going longer and heating element less affected by the hard deposits! Only issue is when replacing water in my tanks I have to be reeeeaaaaally careful not to jiggle the balls around in the empty tank, les it might wake up the baby! :P Mr.This is my second time to place an order for this product. KAZ had the best price if you include the cost of the product and the cost of shipping. I've been using this product for probably 3 years now and it appears to work as advertised. MrThe protec cartrideges do a very good of keeping the water clean. Beats the mess of adding chemical liquids to the tanks. so far so goodHave used the product for about 3 weeks and the water seems to stay cleaner. cleaning cartridgeThe cleaning cartridge has helped keep our humidifier clean. Less frequent maintaince needed than before. (customer)The products arrived rapidly and in perfect (new) condition. They are original Protec factory materials and work fine, unlike some previous attempts at other (not Kaz) web sites. I look forward to doing more business directly with Kaz. IT REALLY WORKS!It keeps the stuff from sticking to the plastic parts in my humidifier. Makes cleaning easier. I recommend it. antimicrobial cartridgeI bought a humidifier, multi-pack of filters, and multi-packs of these cartridges. Unfortunately they were poorly packaged and the cartidge packets burst open, causing the cartridges themselves to split open and spill all the little pellets out. I love the products but the way they are packed for shipping was abysmal. Protec Cleaning CartridgeThe product works phenominally with the Vicks Filter-Free Humidifier we have. The price was great and Kaz.com delivered the item in basically no time at all. consumerI am still in my first month. I am very hopeful these things work. The unit has stayed clean so far which I hope will persist. Bus. AdminEasy to use, has kept odors from developing and the water tank seems to be clearer. Protec is a must for humidifierI will not use a humidifier in my son's room without first dropping a Protec cartridge in the tank. Works wonderfully in keeping the tank spotless and very clean. Cleaning cartridgeWorks ad advertised. Keeps my humidifier clean and the filter lasts longer. MomThis really works! Love how it keeps the humidifier water clean and scum free! Been using it for about a week now and definitely see a difference. MrThe Protec Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridges are wonderful. Before I started using the cartridges I would add a liquid Humidifier cleaner to the water that I used in my humidifiers. The Protec cartridges keep the humidifier much cleaner then the liquid cleaners and I don''t have the extra work of adding a cleaner everytime I add water. Mr.The Protec cartridges do a great job in keeping my humidifiers clean longer. Works greatWe used the liquid version of this product before but the drop-ins are by far the better way to go. Seems to Work!These cleaning cartridges seem to be keeping my humidifier cleaner. It used to have a slight slimey film on the bottom of the reservoir whenever I cleaned it, but since using Protec, that seems to be better. I would buy these again. Good Price/Great ShippingThe price was the lowest I found and the shipping was fast. All in all, a great transaction... vpWe got what we ordered promptly. I would like to get a better discount since we are buying and reselling. Our customers can buy from Target cheaper than we sell to them. Protec PC-2We found that the use of protec PC-2 reduced the pink alge that forms in the bottom of the base. Also noticed less odor. Note that we boiled our water prior to each use also helped. Demineralization cartridge DC-51The DC-51 was very useful in eliminating the white dust from the water that was causing a white residue on furniture. The combination of the protec PC-2 and the DC-51 makes a great combination in our vicks v5100jvc ultrasonic humidifier. AwesomeMakes a HUGE difference in how often we have to clean out the humidifiers and with 3 of them going every night, it is WELL worth it. Great product! Good Deal on Protec Cleaning CartridgesI bought the multi-pack of the Protec Cleaning Cartridges directly from Kaz because, frankly, it was the best deal I could find. I've been using these cartridges successfully for a few years with our two humidifiers (we live in the desert, it's dry, what can I say). The cartridges keep the machines running well without getting icky. Will continue to use these. A mustWe have very hard water and if I use these and the demineralization cartridges I save myself a lot of extra cleaning. ProtecThis product is new to me. I will know how well it works in a few weeks when I replace the cartridge. Time will tell. Brother William Winter Cleaning cartridgesThe cartridges worked as advertised. This was as bargin at the price I paid. The cartridges are easy to use. I am completely satisfied and will purchase more as needed. Great ProductWe have been using a Vicks Cool Moisture Humidifier for two years now. I only recently found out about the Protec Cleaning cartridges. Have been using them for a little over a month now, and they definitely make a huge difference in helping keep the tank and machine clean for a longer period of time. Will be using these from now on! antimicrobial cleaning cartridgeThe items ordered arrived in a timely manner and was exactly what I ordered. Proxi brushI have good dental reports because I use these brushes. They get into areas a toothbrush can not reach. They also are a contributor to good dental hygiene. I highly recommend this product. Protec cartridgesBecause of the dry dessert climate I need to humidify my home all year around. After several different products, I am now a 100 percent believer of Protect cleaning cartridges. Other cleaners that were put into the humidifier unit dispensed some type of sticky residue which got all over everything, even items stored in dresser drawers. This product is unconditionally the best on the market. Questionable BenefitThis product promised reduced cleaning, but I have not yet noticed a significant difference in the frequency of necessary cleanings. Antimicrobial cleaning cartridgesThe search & order process was very easy, as was check-out. We received the order promptly and without incident. We will definately be ordering again. Neat productThese are a good price, but I'm not sure they actually extend the life of the filter like I thought they would. Glad I got them here though because I haven't seen them anywhere else. This works great!I was using my hunidifier and I noticed mold on the filter, Our water is terrible although the water authority would never admit it! I have used this product before and they make a difference. They actually eliminate bacteria and mold growth extending the life of your filter. Protec cartridgesThis are super-easy to use. My only complaint is the ridiculous amount of packaging used for these tiny tiny things. That could definitely be cut down. Helps and Good PriceThe price for these cartridges is very fair. They cut down on the slime in the humidifier. I still add a tbsp. of white vinegar and use hard water filters. Protec Does The JobGreat product. It does what it says and solved one of my humidifier problems. Kaz made the purchase easy and their price was right. Cleaning cartridgeThese cartridges work great. I had noticed my unit would be a little slick on the bottom when refilling with water if I had not used it for a few days. I would have to clean it when refilling. No worry with these cartridges! So glad I found these! Super ServiceService was superior, especially the holiday rush season. Thank you for super service. Pleasure to do business with your company. THANKS |

A Christmas Carol: The Performance Capture Experience
Watch trailers, featurettes and clips from A Christmas Carol at AWNtv!
At a recent press conference, director Robert Zemeckis, producer Steve Starkey and their A Christmas Carol stars Jim Carrey, Robin Wright Penn, Bob Hoskins and Colin Firth talked about the process and challenges of making a performance capture film. As Zemeckis mentioned, the technology has moved from medical uses to helping to evaluate one's golf swing to moviemaking.
Zemeckis said that since his love affair with performance capture began on The Polar Express he's been searching for tales that could be told in new ways with this new art form.
Following Beowulf, Zemeckis said, "I just got hit with the idea that it could be A Christmas Carol, so I went back and read the book to refresh my memory on how I might have seen it and I realized this really hadn't been realized in the way that was actually imagined by Dickens as he wrote it. This could be the perfect way we could take a classic story that everyone is familiar with and re-envision it in a new and exciting way."
"Form always follows story. So when the idea of A Christmas Carol popped in my head, there was a chance to get an actor like Jim to morph himself into all these ghosts and characters and not do it in a traditional way with a 2D camera where all these other wonderful actors would play these ghosts and things like that."
When preparing his actors for the performance-capture films, he begins with an intense table read, where initially he acts out all the roles. "When we go into the volume, as well call it, which is this block of invisible inferred light that we do the movie in, [the actors] turn it on," said Zemeckis. "And so when we're working through the scene, we're recording everything, because there's no film; it's just harddrives running. So you're doing a performance and you're doing a scene and we do the scenes from beginning to end like you'd do a scene in theater. We work the scene out, the actors work the scene out, and what's great is we record it and when we're really going to do it, if someone says, 'Gee Bob, I'd like to walk in from the other side of the room, because I think it would feel better,' we'd say just try it. So it's like we're doing these elaborate theatrical tech rehearsals. The whole thing is like a tech rehearsal, and he hone the scene down and then all of a sudden we look at each other and say, 'Is everybody happy? Does everybody feel good about that?' And when everyone does we say okay and we move on. We break for lunch."
When performance capture first broke onto the scene, there were murmurs that actors feared for their jobs. But Starkey contradicted that notion when he said, "When you talk to actors they have just as much interest in this new art form as we do. It's freeform and it's more like acting in theater. You're not encumbered by the mechanics of filmmaking but you still get to act and play these characters that otherwise you might not be appropriate for... because of your likeness you might not be cast in that role, but in this art form you can do the performance and they can create that likeness in the computer. So you get to play someone young or someone who is taller than you are or whatever it is."
Jim Carrey is a good comedian a seriously doubt his ability to perform in any other role.
the movie is awesome..I already watched it and its really great..
I haven't actually watched this movie yet but from what I read I want to pick it up now. thanks for the share
i wasn't a big fan of this but will give it another watch at xmas.
My most favorite book. I have no idea how many times I have read the book. The move is also a favorite one. All the actor and actress just do amazing task in the move. I have already seen it 5 times and I will watch it again.
Jim Carrey would fit any role that would be given to him. He is one very good and flexible actor, he can adapt any role given to him and still play it out very nicely.
I thought they could've done a better job with this, but Jim Carrey was good
I love Jim Carrey. It would be great to see him in special effects movie.
Always loving checking out behind the scenes footage/seeing actors in their element. Pretty cool.
a great movie and a great story, i have always loved the spirit behind such stories and the christmas carol brings it out, i just love everything about this book since i read it a long time back

Tony Scott's fatal plunge from a California bridge Sunday remained a public mystery Tuesday as medical investigators and his family disputed a report that the British director suffered from inoperable brain cancer.
Scott, best known for the films "Top Gun" and "Beverly Hills Cop II," apparently committed suicide by jumping from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, California, about 12:30 p.m. Sunday, said Lt. Joe Bale of the coroner's office.
Scott, 68, wrote two notes before his death, including a message left in his Los Angeles office that was apparently for family members, a coroner official said.
The second note, detailing contact information for authorities investigating his death, was found in his Toyota Prius parked nearby, the official said.
Investigators would not say what clues those notes may have given them concerning Scott's motivation for suicide, which Bale said was the apparent cause of death.
"There's nothing to indicate it is anything else at this time," he said Monday.
It will be weeks before the findings of Monday's autopsy are made public, the coroner's office said Tuesday.
"Our examination is complete and we will be working towards a comprehensive document once we close the case," Deputy Chief Coroner Ed Winter said.
An ABC report Monday suggested the director was scripting his own death after being told by a doctor that he was dying of inoperable brain cancer. The network did not name the source of its information.
"I did talk to the family yesterday late afternoon, and according to his wife, he did not have brain cancer as reported, and (she) does not know who told ABC that information, which is absolutely false," Winter said.
Scott's unexplained death shocked the Hollywood stars who worked with him on a long list of successful movies over the past three decades. Denzel Washington, who starred in several Scott-directed thrillers -- including 2010's "Unstoppable" -- said it was "unfathomable to think that he is now gone."
"He had a tremendous passion for life and for the art of filmmaking and was able to share this passion with all of us through his cinematic brilliance," he said.
Born Anthony D.L. Scott in North Shields, England, in 1944, the director got his start as a teenager in front of the camera, starring in his older brother Ridley Scott's film "Boy and Bicycle." In 1995, the two joined forces to create the production company Scott Free Productions.
Tony Scott became a household name in 1986 as director of the mega-hit "Top Gun," starring Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis. He followed that up with the Eddie Murphy action movie "Beverly Hills Cop II" in 1987.
Both Cruise and Murphy released statements mourning the loss of their director.
"Tony was my dear friend and I will really miss him. He was a creative visionary whose mark on film is immeasurable. My deepest sorrow and thoughts are with his family at this time," Cruise said.
Murphy described Scott as a "wonderful collaborator" and said he will be missed.
Pepperdine University film professor Craig Detweiler called Scott "the supreme stylist" who "operated at the top of his game throughout each decade of his career."
"He was able to make the thinnest of premises into something pulse-pounding and exciting, and he's almost a filmmaker as a magician who found drama amidst almost contrived situations," he said.
Taking his own life by jumping from a bridge is "a high-adrenaline ending, which matches his dramatic style," Detweiler said.
"He put Denzel Washington, Will Smith and Tom Cruise in movies where one man overcomes all struggles, triumphs over struggles, and yet it appears he was not able to write that story for himself," he said.
Actor Michael Rapaport, who was directed by Scott in "True Romance," took to Twitter to praise the director. In one post, he said there hasn't been a day since the movie was released in 1993 that someone doesn't tell him how much they loved the film.
"Tony Scott was a sweet enthusiastic & lovin man," Rapaport wrote.
Scott cemented his reputation for big-budget action films with 1990's "Revenge" starring Kevin Costner and "Days of Thunder" with Cruise. In 1998, he directed "Enemy of the State" with actors Smith and Gene Hackman.
It was on the set of "Days of Thunder" where Scott met actress Donna Wilson, whom he married in 1994. They had twin sons.

In Cuba, residents described how people were coping with the aftermath of the hurricane that came ashore on a beach southwest of Santiago and swept north across the eastern part of the island.
The Army has been clearing the streets and removing trees that have toppled electrical poles and wires, but most of the city remains without power, water or telephone service, said del Castillo, who was reached via an Internet connection over the weekend.
State-run media said that electricity had been restored to about 80 percent of those who lost power in Holguín, but restoration was proving more complicated in Santiago where 72 work brigades from around the country were working on returning electricity.
"The churches in Santiago are in very bad shape — some are just rubble; others have lost their roofs,'' said del Castillo. "We will celebrate mass in the streets.''
For a country that was officially atheist until 1992, there was already a shortage of churches and priests before Sandy hit. Now, del Castillo said he expects the church's Casa del Misión (Mission House) program to expand. Under the mission house concept, parish priests and nuns travel a circuit to communities without priests and religious activities are held in people's homes or makeshift facilities.
But he added, "The priority isn't the church buildings; it is the people.''
In a city known for its hospitality as well as for being the cradle of the revolution, neighbors, even small children who are clearing branches, have pitched in to help those with less, he said.
"People are just happy they're alive and they're concentrating on rebuilding and how they can help each other,'' said del Castillo.
With windows smashed and without power, many stores are closed and food supplies are difficult, he said. Those who have food are sharing with neighbors and cooking on wood fires in the streets.
State-run media said the government was shipping in food, including bread, from nearby provinces.
Some food, said del Castillo, also has begun to arrive via Caritas, the Catholic relief organization in Cuba. Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami is working with Caritas and Catholic Relief Services to help those in the areas most affected by Sandy. It is accepting monetary donations through its website (www.ccadm.org) but is not calling for food donations at this point.
Schools have been closed since Thursday in Santiago and many that remain intact are being used to house the homeless. Del Castillo said he has two families that are staying at his church,
The first shipment of 12,000 roofs arrived in Santiago on Saturday via train, according to the website of Sierra Maestra, a provincial newspaper.
The government said that was the first wave of shipments of some 84,000 roofs and 220,000 tons of cement expected to arrive in the province via train and ship.

Ig Vella
The Potency of Age on Wine and Cheese
March 21, 2012 - 3:51pm | by stephanieI'm munching a Trader Joe's cheddar CheeseStick and reading Eric Asimov's article on The Pour (NYT) about tasting 18 Bordeauxs from the magic year of 1982; made so by the perfect storm of Robert Parker's enthusiasm for the vintage, a new parched public eager to learn about wine, and changes in Bordeaux economics that would sweep away sleepy local wine production in France...or so I have recently read!
The wines are 30 years old, and according to those who know, a club you can tell I am not a member of, they are now "in their prime." They have been stashed in a collector's wine cellar, enriching their "opulence" and gaining in value and fame.
Farewell to Ig Vella, A Californian Icon
June 10, 2011 - 2:31pm | by kateI heard this morning with great sadness that Ig Vella of Vella Cheese (and the original owner of Rogue Creamery) died last night. One of the few elder statesmen in the evolution of both Californian cheese and the American artisanal cheese movement, Ig will be sorely missed for his incredible knowledge and perspective—not to mention his unique personality.
My first encounter with Ig was shortly after I moved to California from London, when I went to visit his cheesemaking facility in Sonoma. Upon arrival I was met by a large-framed, unsmiling man dressed in what I later learned were his trademark red suspenders and slightly-too-small paper hat. I was immediately intrigued – and smitten!
