2011 NFL Power Rankings: Week 3 - Top 10
Follow @walterfootball for updates.
- New England Patriots (2-0) - Previously: #1 - Tom Brady is on pace to throw for 7,520 yards and 56 touchdowns this year. I've discovered the secret to his success, and I'll reveal it in my Week 3 NFL Picks section.
For now, an exchange between Jim Nantz and Phil Simms during the Patriots-Chargers telecast (thanks to Facebook friend Steve L. for this):
Nantz: There's Rob Gronkowski, what do they call him?
Simms: I don't know.
No wonder Chris Simms sucked.
- Green Bay Packers (2-0) - Previously: #2 - The Packers surrendered the all-time rookie passing yardage mark to Cam Newton on Sunday. I think there are issues with this defense - especially with Nick Collins out for the year - but Aaron Rodgers doesn't seem to believe so. In the post-game press conference, he admitted that he was relieved to play Carolina this early, since it'll be scary once Cam Newton figures things out. He also said he was impressed with Newton about a billion times.
Remember when every single NFL Draft analyst thought Newton really didn't deserve the No. 1 pick? I'd make fun of Mel Kiper, Mike Mayock and the Sun Tan Man, but I wrote this gem of Carolina's selection of Newton:
[Newton] is not pro-ready at all either, which is a concern. Running a Looney Tunes offense at Auburn for one year did not prepare him for the NFL whatsoever.
Whoops. Looks like everyone was wrong. More evidence that the NFL Draft is a complete crapshoot.
- New Orleans Saints (1-1) - Previously: #4 - That stupid yard the Saints couldn't get last week could decide homefield advantage in the playoffs. If so, that's terrible news for New Orleans because I don't see them winning at Lambeau in January.
At any rate, let's go to Notes from NFL.com GameCenter - a list of a few stupid comments I read on NFL.com's GameCenter and my thoughts on them:
You better "prey" and hope that your English teacher doesn't give you a pop quiz this week.
2. "the ravens are too ham told people that flacco was holdin back for week1 but chuck has not boy he is lettin them fly go Raven! "
So "ham" means "good" in GameCenter slang. Can I presume that "green egg" means "bad?"
3. "steelers stoel the todd heep thing when ben throws to the tight end"
Forget Tony Gonzalez, Shannon Sharpe and Mark Bavaro. Throwing the ball originated when Kyle Boller and Joe Flacco threw to Todd "Heep" - and the damn Steelers stoel their idea!
- New York Jets (2-0) - Previously: #6 - Poor Luke McCown. Thirty years from now, he'll still be having nightmares about his team's 32-3 loss against the Jets.
I feel sorry for his wife too. She'll have to hear Luke mumble the following in his sleep for the next 50 or so years, "No... NO... No Darrelle Revis... don't intercept... don't intercept... my passes... my passes too weak... and inaccurate... REVIS!!! AHHH!!! REVIS!!! NOOOOO!!! SHUT UP JASON HILL!!! DON'T PROVOKE... DON'T PROVOKE REVIS!!!"
- Baltimore Ravens (1-1) - Previously: #3 - I'm beginning to notice a pattern. Last year, the Ravens upset an AFC Championship participant in Week 1 and went on to suffer an upset on the road against the crappy Bengals the following game. This year, the Ravens essentially upset an AFC Championship participant in Week 1 and went on to suffer an upset on the road against the crappy Titans the following game.
Note to Joe Flacco, Ray Lewis and the rest of the Ravens: Don't celebrate a Week 1 shocking victory by drinking heavily, having sex with hookers and snorting coke. Focus on your Week 2 game next time.
- Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) - Previously: #8 - Here's something interesting I discovered after Facebook friend Kyle A. told me that he bet the Titans because the Ravens were coming off a victory against the Steelers. Kyle believed that Baltimore had an abysmal record after defeating Pittsburgh.
I looked it up, and it's not entirely true. The Ravens' spread record in this situation is 3-5, though they are 1-4 if they have to play on the road. The intriguing part is a similar trend that applies to all teams:
All teams are 17-35 against the spread after beating the Steelers since 2001.
Isn't that nuts? I'd make a joke about Ben Roethlisberger raping his opponents into submission, but that's silly. He wasn't around before 2004.
- Chicago Bears (1-1) - Previously: #5 - I'm going to post my thoughts on the Bears' failed cover in my Week 2 analysis on the Week 3 NFL Picks page. Instead, a word on the stupid NFLShop.com commercial with Alyssa Milano.
First of all, I've always hated these commercials. I despise the song, and the theme is stupid. I don't know many women who like football enough to wear football gear to begin with, and those who do are proud to simply own several jerseys. They're not going to wear that crap, even if Milano models it well.
Second, where the hell did Milano go? This ad was at least somewhat bearable because we got to see her at the end. Now, they've replaced her with some short black woman with a lesbian haircut. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
- Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) - Previously: #7 - QB Dog Killer has now made 14 starts with the Eagles. In his first seven starts, he had only one turnover. In the next seven starts, he's had 12 turnovers (seven interceptions, five fumbles).
- Atlanta Falcons (1-1) - Previously: #9 - Speaking of Philadelphia's quarterback, Facebook friend Dave P. brought up a great point:
I'm baffled by the fact that Falcons fans are celebrating Mike Vick with signs like "we miss you." All he did in Atlanta was not earn his contract by not working hard, then he disgraced them with the dogfighting scandal. He also lied about dogfighting to the Falcons owner and Roger Goodell.
I have a strong feeling that things will end poorly in Philadelphia as well.
- Detroit Lions (2-0) - Previously: #10 - I'll move up the Lions soon. Beating the crappy Chiefs doesn't count.
By the way, I really think Jamaal Charles' injury really epitomized how much Detroit has improved. The team is so tough that even the mascot is taking out the opponent's best player.
2011 NFL Power Rankings: Week 3 - Bottom 10
32. Seattle Seahawks (0-2) - Previously: #32 - The score may not show it, but the Seahawks were oh, so close to pulling the upset over the Steelers. They would have done so if Tarvaris Jackson didn't suck, and if the offensive line could actually block, and if Marshawn Lynch had running lanes, and if the defensive line could pressure the quarterback, and if the secondary could stop Mike Wallace. Seattle was THIS close.
31. Indianapolis Colts (0-2) - Previously: #30 - Beloved GameCenter poster Taton, an avid Colts fan, hasn't posted anything in three weeks. Here was the last thing he wrote on GameCenter:
coach Cadwell never learn from his mistake oh well Colts wont be good if Colts keep Cadwell
Perhaps Taton should coach the Colts instead of "Cadwell." Against the Browns, Indianapolis challenged a stupid 2-yard completion on 2nd-and-9. They won the review to put Cleveland in a 3rd-and-9 instead of a 3rd-and-7. Unfortunately, "Cadwell's" strategy failed, as Colt McCoy converted the first down on the next play anyway.
30. Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) - Previously: #29 - Through two games, the Chiefs have 10 points and nine turnovers. Thank you @kranzicans for that stat.
By the way, for any Kansas City fan angry that Detroit ran up the score Sunday, please forgive Matthew Stafford and company. The Lions simply have never maintained a huge lead in the fourth quarter before, and they had no idea that it's frowned upon to keep throwing the ball.
29. Cleveland Browns (1-1) - Previously: #31 - I'm going to b**** and moan about the Browns covering the 2.5 at Indianapolis in my Week 3 NFL Picks, so here are more Notes from NFL.com GameCenter:
If ESPN hired Yoda, I'm pretty sure he would say something like this.
2. "2 bad teams going at it ... unfortinitly for NFC West I bet the only games that matters is the games vs Devision and eveything eles is so-so OVer-all"
I bet your parents wish your spelling was "so-so Over-all." That would be a huge improvement.
3. "be honest Packers and Panthers fans would i be better with Driver or Steve Smith at my line up"
You want honesty? You're a complete dumba** to go to NFL.com GameCenter for fantasy advice.
28. Minnesota Vikings (0-2) - Previously: #21 - I can't believe the Buccaneers came back and won. I gave up on my Tampa +2.5 zero-unit play.
It was really dreadful for the Bucs in the first half. They couldn't do anything. During the early games, forum member Hyperborean and I had a brief exchange:
Hyperborean: What's happening in Minnesota, other than the Bucs sucking?
Me: Bucs really sucking.
27. San Francisco 49ers (1-1) - Previously: #26 - E-mailer Harris M. alerted me that Rotoworld had the following blurb on Tony Romo following Dallas' victory over San Francisco:
Anyone questioning Romo's ability in late game situations needs to rethink their stance after tonight's comeback.
Ah, yes. Because a game against the crappy 49ers in which the Cowboys were favored should define someone's ability to perform in the clutch.
26. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) - Previously: #20 - Idiot Jags receiver Jason Hill talked trash this past week, calling the Jets and Darrelle Revis "overhyped." The kicker is that Hill didn't even play against New York on Sunday. Since he didn't get to back up his words on the field, I called him up for an interview:
ME: Hey Jason, thanks for joining me. You know I have to ask. Do you still feel like the Jets are overhyped?
HILL: Yes! The Jets are f***ing trash. Darrelle Revis is f***ing trash. New York is overhyped!
ME: Really? After that 32-3 drilling?
HILL: That's only because I didn't play. The Jets are f***ing trash.
ME: I just don't get how you can talk trash and not play. Have you no shame?
HILL: I don't need shame because Revis is overhyped and f***ing trash.
ME: Well, I have a surprise for you, Jason. I have Darrelle Revis here with me!
HILL: What!?!?!?!
REVIS: What's up, Jason?
HILL: Is that really you, Darrelle?
REVIS: Yes, it is. I hear you've been calling me and my team overhyped.
HILL: No! No... No! I swear, Darrelle! I haven't said anything of the sort! All lies!
REVIS: I just heard you say that I'm "f***ing trash!"
HILL: Please, Darrelle! Please, oh God! I didn't mean it! I was joking!
REVIS: It didn't sound like you were joking to me.
HILL: Darrelle, I beg you! I didn't mean to say it! I yield! Yield, I say! Yield! Please have mercy!
REVIS: Fine, fine. Whatever.
HILL: Oh, thank you, Darrelle! You are too kind! Too kind!
REVIS: Whatever, man. I'm going out to lunch. Thanks for having me on, Walt.
ME: No problem, Darrelle. See ya later. All right, Jason. Darrelle's gone, so we can end this interview.
HILL: Good! Because Darrelle Revis overhyped and f***ing trash!
ME: How'd I know you were going to say that?
25. Miami Dolphins (0-2) - Previously: #23 - One of the announcers on the CBS broadcast team had the following to say about the crowd at the Dolphins-Texans game:
It's so hot on the field that there are more fans on the sidelines than there are in the seats!
Guess all of this B-list celebs aren't selling tickets, eh? Somewhere out there, Celebrity Man just had a stroke reading that comment.
24. Cincinnati Bengals (1-1) - Previously: #24 - Andy Dalton was really impressive at Denver. Sure, he was playing a crappy Bronco defense missing Champ Bailey and Elvis Dumervil, but he looks like he could be really good in a year or two.
At any rate, here's a recap of the Giants-Rams game:
1. Despite losing 28-16, the Rams outgained the Giants by 61 yards. Sometimes yardage stats are misleading, but this one is not. St. Louis should have had the lead against New York, particularly in the first half. The problem was that the Rams kept making costly errors:
- Greg Salas muffed a punt in the first quarter, which led to a Hakeem Nicks touchdown.
- Sam Bradford threw a backward pass to Cadillac Williams, who dropped the ball. Cadillac didn't recognize that it was a lateral, opting to just stand around while New York linebacker Michael Boley scooped the ball up and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. As this happened, I posted the following in the forum:
What the ****, same ****ing bull**** as last week.
- The Rams had three possessions inside the Giants' 7-yard line in the first half, including a first-and-goal at the 1, yet they couldn't score a single touchdown. No one was able to get open.
- The second half of this contest featured countless drops by the St. Louis wideouts. Everyone had a hand in it, but Billy Bajema and Greg Salas were guilty of key drops in the fourth quarter that could have moved the chains on third down. Danario Amexander (3-122, TD) and Mike Sims-Walker (6-92) put together nice statistical games, but had issues getting open all night.
2. Bradford (22-46, 331 yards, TD) looked really comfortable in the up-tempo no-huddle offense in the first half. It was so effective that on one play, two New York defenders faked injuries to stop the action. I don't know why the Giants weren't penalized or a charged a timeout. This was one of many botched calls by the refs in what was a horribly officiated game.
The purpose of bringing up the no-huddle offense is that the Rams inexplicably went away from it. I have no idea why they did that. They had the Giants on their heels. It's like Josh McDaniels outsmarted himself.
3. The Giants were able to run the ball at will against the Rams, as Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs and D.J. Ware totaled 131 rushing yards on 34 carries. On the first drive, I posted the following on the forum, "Just run the ball, Giants." It was working so well there was no need to air it out. Coincidentally, Eli Manning tossed a pick on the next play. I replied to my own post:
Way to not listen to me, a**holes.
4. As for Manning, he was definitely better than last week, going 18-of-29 for 200 yards, two touchdowns and that pick. He still didn't look comfortable with his receivers though. This will be an issue against the Eagles and their elite cornerbacks, especially if Mario Manningham can't play coming off a concussion.
5. Facebook friend Steve T. posted the following on my wall:
For all you fantasy buffs out there: be sure to add Greg Salas in your points-per-dropped-receptions leagues!
23. Denver Broncos (1-1) - Previously: #27 - Of all the teams in these power rankings, I had the toughest time placing the Broncos. Their 24-22 victory over the Bengals was obviously unimpressive, but Champ Bailey, Elvis Dumervil and Brandon Lloyd were all out, and John Fox had to use Tim Tebow at receiver because he ran out of wideouts. At least that kept the fans from booing.

Miami is ranked 31, but they play 30, 29, 28, 27 and 25 twice. They have the best defense of all of those teams and somehow win only win 2 games. Ryan Tannehill is a weakness because he's a rookie QB, but Russell Wilson is a strength for Seattle? Who's making these picks... Stevie Wonder?

The Ciefs win the AFC West!? Give me a break. They drafted a 350 lb tub of lard that can do a lot of bench presses but can't play football (Poe) and they're counting on a ton of Browns cast offs to give them that extra push ... Hillis, Quinn, Crennel ... yeah, how many times did Crennel lead the Browns to the post season? Oh yeah, and they've got a contract holdout (Bowe) and an immature entitled brat (Baldwin) hoping to catch balls from a terrible QB. Does that sound like a winning formula? Didn't think so.
Denver has a tough schedule, at the beginning of the season, but it cupcakes up in the second half ... the Broncos will take the AFC West at 10-6. KC might squeak out 9-7, but they could as easily go 6-10.

I'm not a fan of Pete Carroll by any means, but I think you were unfair. If I had to guess, then I'd say Carroll talked positively about TO because he didn't want to be a dick. Coaches usually don't like to throw players under the bus, so I'm pretty sure he was being polite and not attempting to misdirect other teams so he could "poison" their locker rooms.

@Walter: With the exception of the Niners in 12th position... What?! I think your rankings of the 32 are pretty much right on the button. As usual, it "looks" like there are better teams than the Giants. All they do is play .500 ball for 3 months and then kick as@ the remainder of the season. Also the only team the gives the Patriots nightmares. I also agree that the Saints... AGAIN, could be very, very, dangerous. Good luck to all going forward.

WACH FOX News Center covers stories around the Midlands and across the state 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Fayetteville, Ark- Scoreless through sixth innings, third ranked South Carolina erupted for a combined 10 runs in the seventh and eighth innings and held on for a 10-7 victory over 13th ranked Arkansas on Sunday afternoon. South Carolina is now 36-12 and 16-8 in the SEC, tied for first place with LSU and currently one game ahead of Kentucky for first place in the Eastern Division.
Gamecock right-hander Matt Price earned the win in relief and is now 4-3 on the year after working the final 3.2 innings of the game.
Carolina starter Forrest Koumas was very effective through the first two-thirds of the game not allowing a base runner to cross home plate. Koumas, in his second start of the year, went 5.1 scoreless innings and allowed two walks and five hits with four strikeouts. Arkansas threatened in the bottom of the sixth inning loading the bases with one out against Koumas. Jacob Mahan singled, as did Dominic Ficociello and Matt Reynolds walked to fill the bases for the Razorbacks. With Price on in relief for the Gamecocks, South Carolina kept it at 0-0 as a flyout by Derrick Bleeker turned into a double play as right fielder Adam Matthews heaved a perfect throw to catcher Grayson Greiner, who tagged out Mahan to keep the game scoreless. Carolina rode the momentum of the double play into the seventh inning scoring four times against Baxendale to take a 4-0 lead. Christian Walker led off with a base hit. On the play, an errant throw by Baxendale off the mound went past Ficociello at first allowing Walker to advance into scoring position. With one out and Walker still on second base, Arkansas elected to intentionally walk Greiner. With two outs and runners still on first and second base, Matthews followed his heroics on the field with a RBI base hit up the middle scoring Walker for the first run of the game. Chase Vergason followed with a base hit up the middle as well to score Greiner and Tanner English kept the hit parade going as he singled to center field scoring both runners and giving the Gamecocks a four-run cushion. The Gamecocks batted around in the top of the eighth inning and scored six more runs to extend the lead to 10-3. Joey Pankake led off the frame with a base hit off of Arkansas reliever Michael Gunn and Evan Marzilli was hit by a pitch. After a wild pitch advanced the runners, the Razorbacks intentionally walked Walker to load the bases. Arkansas would bring on closer Barrett Astin, who struck out LB Dantzler for the first out of the inning. With one out, Grayson Greiner came up with a big hit as he knocked a RBI single into left field scoring a pair of runners. Michael Roth then roped a RBI double into the gap in left-center that also scored two runs. A two-out double to right field by Vergason and a RBI single up the middle by Tanner English gave the Gamecocks a seven-run lead. The 5-6-7-8-9 hitters for the Gamecocks drove in all 10 runs on the afternoon. Vergason went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. English was 2-for-3 with three RBI. Greiner and Roth both drove in two runs. Arkansas had 15 hits with Ficociello 3-for-5. Mahan, Bigham, Anderson all had two hits apiece as well. South Carolina returns home for a non-conference tilt vs. Furman on Wednesday, May 9 at 7 p.m. at Carolina Stadium. The game will be televised live on FS South and FS Carolinas.

Hi Dirk Pitt, Thank you for the link to "The Code" book. I've ordered a copy and can't wait to start reading it once it arrives! Dot |
DirkPitt | Posted on Mar 14 2008, 04:55 AM |
Yes, there are copies still available ; http://www.cussler.net/the_clive_cussler_code.htm And Mostly Heep is keeping quiet about his own invaluable contributions to the creation of the "Code" If you order a copy, Dot, make sure you've read Pacific Vortex. The Code will shed a whole new light onto Clive's first book. |

dartster | Posted on Mar 6 2008, 03:26 AM |

I've found a few others along the way and am now down to wanting to read them all in the order they came out. I look foward to each book that comes out and hope there will be many more! Sincerely, Dot |

As you may have noticed, Android has been getting more attention from us recently, not least because of the impending announcement of the much anticipated Sony Ericsson X10.
This is quite deliberate and you can expect to see more as we start to cover Android as a whole platform both on the forum and blog. Of course this is not to say that we won't be covering Sony Ericsson, we will and things will be a combination of "SE-AND-DROID"
We've also started to open some Android forum sections:
Android Phones & General - general chat about Android and the devices running it
Android Applications - discuss Android apps and the Market or post apps for release. The usual copyright & warez rules apply.
PS- the above icon is not final but it's pretty much a unified idea from everyone who contributed (it was actually a bit freaky, we all produced the same thing)

I have been battling with my skin for years now and this product has ended up being my god send! I have suffered from breakouts, blackheads and enlarged pores all of which get worse if I'm stressed. Also my spots would always scare my face, leaving my skin looking run down and lifeless (doesn't help I'm naturally pale)so I decided to splurge and buy this after hearing so many good things about it. I put it on at night and let it soak in, at first I thought it was a bit greasy but after using it for so long I can now see a dramatic difference in my skin. I love it especially for travelling as the pot is so handy to carry with me. thank you Darphin!
Sarah, Cardiff
I have combination, sensitive, prone skin. Blackheads and pores are easily visible especially on my nose.
Amy, Cardiff
Even though it is expensive, I decided to buy it after reading reviews about this product online. And it indeed worthy. At night I only need toner and it after washing my face. Saves a lot of time. Also it isn't greasy. It can be absorbed soon and leaves my skin clean and calm. It smells nice as well. It calms me before go to bed. Really recommend it to combination, acne prone skin.
I love it. It is expensive but worth it.
Heidi, Cardiff
At first I thought it will be greasy but it isn't. It smells nice and sinks into my skin qucikly. It calms my provlems.
Great balm in emergency. Works great on spots and any skin imperfections. Used it the week before my wedding and my skin was radiant on the day.
Elena, Glasgow
Wow... Does the job and smells great!
Anna, Russia
I normally wouldn't buy such an expensive product but my friend had given me a little of hers to try and it is amazing. I didn't have problem skin until 8 months ago when I kept breaking out - having a second puberty! It drove me insane and I've tried quite a few products out there, cheap and expensive. I dab a little bit of this purifying balm as soon as I see a spot coming, and usually it goes away within a day. And if it doesn't go away right away, it definitely helps with the angry redness I get sometimes.
Ka, London
Well worth the price!
A great product for problem skin. After use, skin is nice and clean, without spots and acne.
Ilona, Czech Republic
This is a wonderful product. I applied it every other night for 3 weeks (with a free sample). My face is purified and brightened. Now I have ordered a full size. It really works.

From BCS America Inc.
Product From BCS America Inc.
Expand for more details on this Product
- Product From Mantis
Mantis introduces a newly designed version of its two-cycle and four-cycle powered tiller/cultivator, the Mantis Deluxe Tiller/Cultivator that maintains all of the advantages of the original Mantis Tiller with new function and convenience features that make creating and maintaining the garden and landscape even easier.
- Product From American Honda Motor Co.
The FC600 model is an exclusively commercial-grade tiller ideal for commercial, rental and residential markets. Powered by Honda's four-stroke GX160 commercial-grade engine, the FC600 incorporates a one-touch transport wheel, simplified drag-bar operation and a single-piece reinforced handlebar. Other design elements include a multi-functional front guard, a heavier-duty fender, new tine axle seal guards and gear case, a strengthened engine mount and a commercial-grade fuel cap. In keeping with Honda's tradition of environmental leadership, all of its tillers are built with environmentally responsible technology. Four-stroke designs are quieter than comparably-sized two-stroke engines, up to 30 percent more fuel efficient, and are virtually smoke free.

Available in three models Minnie, Suburban and International. MacKissic's rear-tine tiller features separate drive transmissions for the wheels and the tines, two tilling speeds with reverse and transport, and heavy-duty bolo tines. Counter-balance-weighting focuses all of the weight directly on the drive wheels for outstanding control in tough soil conditions.

Tiller/Cultivators feature patented serpentine tines (guaranteed against breakage for life), 9-inch tine width tills to 10 inches deep (3 inches when reversed for shallow cultivating), ability to till all types of soil, including sod and even hard clay.

For those not familiar with the anime series "Cashan, The Robot Hunter" which "Casshern" is based on, this movie may be a tiny bit confusing. Additionally, there is a lot of text to read with subtitles racing by (as there is only a Japanese audio track) and on top of that, the subtitles are not beneath but across the film which can be distracting and since they are burnt in, you can't switch them off either. Also, cutting the movie by 24 minutes for Region 1 DVD release may have been a marketing decision, somehow I am not so sure it was the right one. Enough of these technicalities and on to the story then!
In director Kazuaki Kiriya's debut effort we meet "Casshern", a young man killed in war and risen from the dead by supernatural powers, reincarnated to fight against evil – but let's rewind a bit.

B&B is a few quarters on the ground floor. Quite big and clean room, refrige (which doesn't cut off when you go away), LCD TV, quiet place (but not... soundproof), private bathroom in the room. Not much of a daylight (windows are closed) but in some rooms there are doors to the garden and you can open them. 15 min to the train station. Almost nothing nearby (nearest supermarket is 15 min off). Breakfast is good enough. Yulia / Saint Petersburg, 03/09/2013

Though the Federal Government used thousands of Census-Taker jobs to inflate the latest employment figures, they probably forgot that the very fact that they did that actually fueled the very fire that is toasting the buttocks of those same federal employees. A spate of recent news stories relate the various instances of aggression and just-plain violence that many Census Takers, let's call them "CT's", are running into out in the field.
I was amused last winter when I read an article describing how these folks were using snow machines and four-wheelers to reach folks in the outer reaches of New England. "Ridiculous" would be a forgiving description of the money our government spends to attain the most rudimentary information from the citizenry. Even personally, I met a woman twice on my parents property, which sets back about a half mile from a rural road at the very end of a long, gravel driveway. Not once, but twice, I met this woman wandering around there looking for my mother, who was out on both occasions. I assume she tracked my wily mother down on some other occasion and got those boxes checked on that form. Another bureaucratic success story.
I don't understand the aversion to the form. I find it silly, fill it out the day it arrives, and mail it back to save myself from having to endure the torrent of reminder letters, the threatening tone of which increase as time goes on, and pride myself on having saved my country money by responding to their query promptly. The questions were not difficult as I remember. A page or so of race and ethnicity questions, a tally of relatives currently in jail, and, I think, a demand to know more about my ice cream habits and preferences.
Still, I'm not surprised that a lot of people have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that they are not in the mood to be bothered by the government with regards to the silly form. I don't blame them, either, though I don't condone throwing a steel patio set at a CT as one woman did. Or chasing after a CT on a ride-on lawnmower. Or allowing your large geese to freely peck a CT in a manner that recalls Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"…the attic scene, I think.
One female CT recalled how a man had tried to drag her into his apartment. He would be checking "yes" in the box that asks if anyone is planning on going to jail in the near future. This same woman was one of an army of CT's who expressed shock and dismay at the level of "anger against the government". Another indicator…their surprise…of the great divide between so many of us. I, for instance, would not be surprised at all, were I a CT, to be met with angry customers on a pretty regular basis. Surprised? Really? That people are angry with the government? You're kidding, right?
Who could be annoyed with the last several decades of American politics and government? Forget party lines. The "Fed" has grown into an obese, drunk with greed and power, and worst, inept, manatee-like creature that can't seem to do anything right. Their failures don't faze them. They operate without a budget or deadline and many times, without a clear purpose. They suck from the working class and earners to support their failures and now to support non-citizens and their children, to the point where a middle-class existence, even with both parents working full-time, is becoming unattainable. We have watched drugs and promiscuity eat through our culture like a cancer and nobody has even noticed.
A bureaucracy so inept, that it stops barges helping desperately to hinder the biblical damage being done in the Gulf, to check their paperwork and inspect fire extinguishers. And we pay them to do this.
Yeah…this is no time in history for sensitive Census Takers. You better be dressed in Kevlar, as a matter of fact. And, naturally, the one pertinent question that the form may have asked…"How do you rate the performance of your friends in Washington…?" Well…that question was nowhere to be found…but it got answered, didn't it?

The board overseeing the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum has been given more time to see if it can develop a plan to fix its funding problems. In July of last year, construction on the partially completed structure was halted when lawmakers failed to approve a $40 million bond proposal that would have been matched by a similar amount in private donations.

Spring is spreading its share of nasty weather throughout much of the Midwest and Deep South, leaving thousands of people without power.
The upper Midwest is just emerging from a storm that dumped several inches of snow in parts of the Dakotas and forced temperatures down to as low as 22 degrees. Now, forecasters are saying another 6 to 12 inches of snow could fall as a new storm rages through Montana, North Dakota and northern Minnesota.
GROVE, Okla. (AP) - An Amber Alert for a missing 8-month-old girl has been canceled after the baby was found safe at a hospital in Grove.
Delaware County Sheriff Harlan Moore told the Tulsa World that Carolinn Altaffer was taken to the hospital shortly before 11 a.m. Friday by her mother, China Altaffer. Moore says Carolinn is safe and the mother is in custody.
Authorities were also searching for the baby's father, Ronald Altaffer. The sheriff says investigators did not know where the father is.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A song by local music legends The Flaming Lips is no longer the official rock song of Oklahoma.
A spokesman for Republican Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin confirmed Friday the governor didn't renew an executive order proclaiming ``Do You Realize??'' the official rock song when she took office. Spokesman Alex Weintz says the governor had other priorities and the order ``did not make the cut.'
The White House is trying to tamp down concern over a new intelligence report showing North Korea could arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead.
The Defense Intelligence Agency says in a newly revealed report that it has "moderate confidence'' that North Korea knows how to deliver a nuclear weapon on a ballistic missile.
"The United States seems to be taking this a little bit differently as we're thinking about the deliverance capabilities of these nuclear missiles that we've started to see tested," says Rebecca Cruise, the Assistant Dean of the University of Oklahoma College of International Studies and a regular contributor to KGOU's World Views.
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher will be remembered Wednesday during a funeral with full military honors at St. Paul's Cathedral.
Suzette Grillot, the host of KGOU's World Views and the Dean of the University of Oklahoma's College of International Studies, says debates about Thatcher's legacy and even her funeral suggest Britain is still deeply divided.
The House Judiciary Committee this week approved workers' compensation legislation by Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman (R-Sapulpa), but didn't get in any hurry about it.
The novel-length bill that would move the decision on how to compensate injured workers from a court-based system to an administrative one is another step closer to being law. The hearing on the bill was delayed by two weeks while the House made changes to fix some problems in the plan.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A pair of bills by House Speaker T.W. Shannon that target state welfare programs are heading to the full Senate for a vote.
The Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday approved one bill that would require food stamp recipients between the ages of 18 and 50 without children to work at least 20 hours per week.

Guard helps folks keep cool
Follow these tips from the state Emergency Management Agency to stay healthy while your power is out:
• Drink plenty of fluids.
• Check on neighbors or friends and have someone do the same for you.
• Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Call 211 or the local Red Cross to identify cooling centers in your area where you can get air conditioning.
• If a cooling center isn't nearby, seek air-conditioned locations such as libraries, stores and recreation centers.
• Call 911 if you're feeling faint or you need medical attention.

From left, Spc. Deshawn Bingham and Sgt. Benjamin Demana greet Pat O'Connor and neighbor John Donaldson, 14, at Pat's Columbus home. John was helping to clear trees from the O'Connors' front yard.
When the Ohio National Guard knocked on her door yesterday, Pat O'Connor had had enough of the heat.
A large tree fell during Friday's storm, smashing in the roof of the brick ranch where she and her husband live on Pershing Drive on the North Side. The kitchen ceiling was leaking and the lights and air-conditioner went out with the power.
Spc. Deshawn Bingham and Sgt. Benjamin Demana gave O'Connor a list of cooling centers and explained that she and her husband could find a cool place to go for the day.
"I'm heading out there this afternoon," O'Connor, 74, said. "I'm worried about my husband, who had surgery not too long ago."
Jim O'Connor had spent the morning out back on the porch swing, where he said he could catch a breeze now and then and the light was better than in the dark house.
About 200 National Guard personnel will continue to patrol the state today to check on people like the O'Connors.
They went door-to-door in Franklin and Montgomery counties yesterday in neighborhoods designated by the state Emergency Management Agency. The agency chose densely populated areas that include vulnerable people, including older people and younger children, said spokeswoman Tamara McBride.
Patrols checked people's health, answered questions and distributed information about air-conditioned cooling centers.
As of yesterday, 241,000 people in central Ohio and 415,000 people statewide were without power.
Gov. John Kasich declared a state of emergency for all of Ohio on Saturday and activated the Guard.
"This is urgent, because when you don't have power and it's 95 degrees, it's extremely risky for seniors, infants and the part of the population with illnesses," McBride said.
"The more information they have, the better," Sgt. Thomas Howery said as he patrolled yesterday. "We want them to know we're here to help and we can get through this."
Some people already had figured out how to make do without AEP.
At Clinton Estates on the North Side, extension cords snaked across streets so that several families could share power. Dozens of generators hummed as neighbors cleared debris from their yards together.
On Fowler Drive, a generator has powered Ed Braugh-
ton's home since Friday. He and his wife, both in their 70s, are living with just their necessities: a lamp, a few fans, a refrigerator and a coffee pot.
Braughton checks on his elderly neighbors routinely and maintains their generators, too. He plans to stay home until power is restored on his block.
"We're getting used to it — we have to," he said.
But others, especially those without generators, are eager to get out of their homes and into air conditioning.
The O'Connors' neighbor, Nancy Donaldson, told guardsmen she's concerned for her family's health. Her son has severe asthma, and as temperatures near 100 degrees in her home, he went elsewhere to find air conditioning.
"It's extremely frustrating to have to live this way, this long, in 2012," Donaldson said. "It's too hot for him to stay here."

Retail investors loaded up on Apple last month as the stock plummeted to its lowest levels of the year and the company doubled its capital return program. So much so that the stock now has more ownership than ever in the history of TD Ameritrade, which tracks the largest pool of retail investors.
The general thinking on Wall Street has been that retail is the so-called dumb money and so one would think the stock garnered the most retail interest as it hit an all- time high of $705 last year. But that wasn't the case.
Computerized algorithms are quickly replacing single-stock analysts and investors, leading to big changes in the way the stock market will value companies and increasing the chance that software glitches or hack attacks will jeopardize market stability.
Technological forces—including high-frequency trading, an explosion in exchange-traded funds and the proliferation of free information via social media—are behind this seismic shift, according to Nicholas Colas of ConvergEx Group.
"The changes that started with high-frequency and algorithmic trading are just the first step to an entirely different process of determining stock prices," Colas wrote in a sweeping note to clients Monday. "Will an equity market running on algorithmic autopilot serve to tie the managers of capital (senior executives) to the ultimate owners (shareholders) as robustly as one dominated by flesh-and-blood money managers? It seems a stretch to think so."
In other words, we've come a long way from the days of the Buttonwood tree and Benjamin Graham.
The false Twitter alert from the Associated Press which sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 140 points caused brief panic on the trading floors around Wall Street.
"It was panic," said one trader from a major firm who wished not to be named. "One guy sold a ton of the SPYs at that moment and then had to cover for a big loss."
The two-day pullback in stocks this week put the S&P 500 below the record levels of 2007's housing bubble and tech bubble of 2000, raising concern about a dreaded "triple-top" in the market that could keep a lid on any gains for the foreseeable future.
The S&P 500 hit a high of 1,552 in March 2000. After a biting recession, interest rates slashed to the basement by the Fed and then the biggest boom in housing ever, it recovered to a high of 1,576 in October 2007. Rinse and repeat and we find the S&P 500 at 1,541 today.
To the delight of many technical analysts, it broke this triple top last week. Unfortunately, it traded above the old record for just four days before poor economic data and earnings results this week dragged it back down into this 13-year range.
The two-day crash in the price of gold is one of the most devastating asset sell-offs ever witnessed on Wall Street, right up there with the stock market crash of 1987. What makes it that much worse is no one is exactly sure why it happened.
And until investors get some answers, the selling may continue, they say.
With all the uncertainty out there about the Federal Reserve, fiscal policy, Europe and North Korea, one would think it's hard enough to give an equity forecast for the end of this year. But the gang at Goldman is taking a stab at predicting market returns until 2016.
The global equity team at the elite Wall Street firm sees 9 percent annual total returns for the S&P 500 ahead, pushing the index up 20 percent to 1900 by the end of 2015. They see even bigger returns for Japan, Europe and the rest of Asia.
Gains will be "driven by strong earnings growth supplemented by a good dividend yield and some expansion in multiples," states the strategy paper. The forecasts rely "upon our economists' scenario for future economic activity and the tools for modeling earnings and discount rates that have so far been important inputs for setting our 12-month index targets." (Read More: You Must Understand This About Yield)
Insider selling at the biggest technology companies hit a record pace over the last six months even as investors snatched up shares, pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to a 12-year high.
More than 55 million shares were sold versus 1,780 shares bought for a sell-buy ratio of an eye-popping 31,109 to 1 at the 10 biggest tech companies, including Microsoft, Oracle and Qualcomm, according to Alan Newman, editor of the Crosscurrents newsletter and market analyst for 49 years.
"Insider activity confirms the rosy scenario indicated by prices is only an illusion," wrote Newman in his latest letter. "Insiders have no confidence in their own companies. While prices appear to be indicating an all clear, we remain in one of the most egregiously speculative phases ever seen."
As the S&P 500 surged to a record close last month, retail investors cashed in high fliers such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard and snapped up securities with hefty dividend yields like General Electric, Intel, and real estate investment trusts, according to an inside look into six million funded accounts at TD Ameritrade.
The actions suggest a mild-tempered, more sophisticated approach by retail investors, who are often derogatorily referred to as the "dumb money" and thought to blindly chase momentum after stocks post big gains.
Hedge funds, on average, returned just above 3 percent in the first quarter of 2013, a brutal return compared to buyers of an S&P 500 index fund, who enjoyed a 10 percent return on their money.
Vocal activist and founder of Third Point Partners Dan Loeb was the standout, as timely bets on Yahoo, Japan and liquid natural gas play Cheniere Energy drove the firm's Ultra Fund to a 13.3 percent return through the end of March.
This bull market that seemingly won't quit is headed toward a correction this quarter, many investors said, citing recent history, the lack of retail investor participation and the upcoming earnings season.
"The second quarter has proven to be the period when the market finally provides the correction that many investors had begun to anticipate during the latter stages of the first quarter," said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Market, in a quarter-end note. "It is an appropriate time for investors to become tactically more defensive within portfolios."

text: Professional. Innovative. Sustainable. How often do you hear those words applied to Australian farmers in the mainstream media? Sadly, not a lot. Most of the time the cameras only roll outside the capital cities if it's to report a flood, or a drought, or some other natural disaster. Or a fight over water. Or live exports. Or whatever. They're not the best opportunities to showcase the sophistication of Australian agriculture. Those of us who work in the rural sector know those three words are absolutely relevant - and even crucial - to the survival of the modern farm. At ABC Rural we strongly believe that finding and telling positive stories of Australian agriculture is a big part of our brief. How do farmers adapt to changing circumstances? What happens when bureaucrats hundreds of kilometres away make a decision? When things get tough does everyone pack up and head for the cities? Not likely. There are countless stories of survival, adaptation and renewal out there, and we believe they should be told. But we can only do so much. Agriculture itself needs to get better at telling tales of success to the broader community. That's where the Australian Farmer of the Year Awards come in. It's time for you to put yourself - or someone you know - first for once. Now is not a time to be shy. Next year is the Australian Year of the Farmer. What better opportunity is there to get out there and get on the front foot? We all know Australian agriculture is facing enormous challenges. Debates over water use, the carbon tax, livestock production, farming vs mining: they're all issues on the national agenda. But how do farmers make themselves heard? By showcasing what you do well. By telling the world, "we operate at best practice and here is how we do it". That's what 2010 Farmer of the Year Ross Woodhouse has done. His WA dairy farm has attracted overseas investment interest since winning the title, and he's more passionate about the future of food production in this country than ever. Mr Woodhouse is now encouraging other farmers to put their hands up. "As farmers I think we too often underestimate our skill level, I think there's a perception out there that we just chew straw and we're able to carry a lot around on our back," he says. "Look at a farmer's decision-making on a daily basis, you know they have to be vets, they have to be tax consultants, they have to be employers, they have to be mechanics, the number of skills that we draw on as a farmer far exceeds any other form of employment that I've seen in any walk of society. "There are farmers out there with enormous potential and a good story to tell." Mr Woodhouse says he has also been contacted by farmers from across Australia, keen to learn more about how he does business and to share some of their own stories. Ultimately, that's what this award is all about. Sharing the good stuff, to help others to learn, and develop their own ideas for the future. You don't have to be the world's best public speaker, and don't worry about that the neighbours might say. There are bigger issues at play here and you can be part of it. Good luck to all of this year's nominees. You're helping to ensure the future of Australian agriculture in an extremely competitive world.

We've had really good mainstream publicity for these books and both Wanted and Chosen were snapped up as movie deals before each series even ended so I'm honestly just pinching myself.
