Nine Eleven – Thoughts. Mine and others.
September 13, 2011 - Austin Porter
Excerpts from Letters to the Editor, New York Times, Sunday edition
…I am hopeful that America will finally move beyond 9/11…can we finally become more than a nation of victims and vengeance?...Can we (listen) more to reason than to rage?...Can we, like every nation in Europe that has been targeted by terrorists, acquire the confidence to walk beside our fears…not let feat consume…our defense dollars, our civil liberties, our ability to listen to one another….
…I was in the South Tower…90th floor. I escaped…13 of my colleagues lost their lives. I have been living with the memories of that day…But enough is enough! When will we stop this nonstop memorializing?...I know families who lost loved ones…they ask that they stop being reminded constantly about what happened. A quiet and tasteful memorial …should be enough. It is time to close the door on the event and let the survivors live our normal lives…
…I experienced 9/11…as an American mother, then as a "Muslim other"…I didn't know whether my son, who worked (for) a bank at the WTC, was in New York or London…when he called I thought of all the other mothers who didn't get that…phone call…(I prayed) that the perpetrators…would have no connection to the Middle East…20 years integrated in American society…now perceived differently…volunteered to speak wherever I was invited, to try to distance (my religion) from the atrocity perpetuated in its name…my neighbor of eight years heard me speak at a church, she burst out, "I didn't know we had Muslims in the cul-de-sac" …10 years later… efforts to distance terrorism from Islam…futile…Islamofphobia…the last allowable prejudice…
*********************************** I worked with a Sikh. On 9/12, his office cubicle was covered with posters and bumper stickers that made clear that Sikhs loved America. I felt two things: Why would an American citizen, which he was, feel compelled to grovel like this, to kiss the ass of the asses who think that to be American is to be exactly like them. And why would he think that those malicious, hateful, ignorant asses who conveniently and erroneously associate turbans with Islam, why would he suppose that those jerks would be dissuaded from attacking him because of a pro-American sticker attached to the bumper of his car?
Which isn't to say that it's OK to attack American Muslims, or anyone else for that matter.
I sometimes wonder if there is an algorithm that the networks, advertisers and the hired guns who manage our politicians use to determine how long to milk a "national tragedy?" We have 9/11, Columbine, Virginia Tech...... The first WTC bombing has faded into the past. Katrina as well. Will the probably murdered Robyn Gardner make the one year anniversary cut? Who decides these things?
I am not downplaying the loss of life. For those people who died, many though not all American, many though not all Christian, and the family, friends, and colleagues left behind, September 11, 2011 was a sad day, indeed. And for those unfortunate people who were injured – a woman at the Pentagon severely burned – I can't begin to imagine their suffering.
But just to get a little perspective, more people die in traffic accidents every year then died on 9/11. I don't think the people they leave behind feel less sorrow because their loss isn't Today Show worthy.
The sanctions that were in place during Clinton's time in office killed over half a million Iraqi children. When Madeline Albright was interviewed by Lesley Stahl, she didn't question the figure. She replied, "We think the price is worth it." The follow up should have been, "What is the "it" the price was worth?"
People die. Sometimes before their time. With 9/11, you can argue meta-reasons – foreign policy and the like. But on a personal level, there's no rhyme or reason. Bad Luck. Someone gets to work early or on time, someone else is late. The unfairness of death is not unique to America. Grief, despite Westmoreland's comments about the Vietnamese, is universal. Life is often, as the Buddhist say, suffering. Bad things happen. Sometimes they happen to you and the ones you love. All we can do is pick up the pieces and go on. Despite all the odds, try to leave the world a better place than when we arrived.
What was unique about 9/11, is that it happened here, on our soil.
A few days before 9/11/2011, we were told about imminent attacks planned by Ayman al-Zawahiri, three people already in the country and certainly up to no good, beware, beware. Today we're told that Ayman al-Zawahiri is constantly on the run and Al Qaeda is so weak, they can't get a 9/11 video tape out on time. Do you ever get the feeling you are being jerked around?
The thing that irks me most about 9/11, beside TSA at airports, the 3 or 4 trillion dollars borrowed to fund an unnecessary war, and the cheap and easy patriotism, is how poorly the first responders were treated before and after the event.
If I were Rudy Giuliani, I'd be ashamed to show my face in public. Perhaps we couldn't see the attacks coming, though Rudy (and President Bush for that matter) didn't seem particularly interested in Osama until 9/11. But what was under our control before and after the attack … forgetaboutit. The Faulty radios resulting in unnecessary death. Baloney about his onsite involvement in the cleanup. The air quality that the first responders were misled about.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut has confirmed that basketball players Michael Bradley and Roscoe Smith have both been released from their scholarships, a move that will allow them to transfer.
The pair would become the fourth and fifth underclassmen to leave the program since the NCAA turned down a waiver request would have allowed UConn to play in the 2013 NCAA tournament despite failing to meet academic qualifications.
Sophomore Jeremy Lamb and freshman center Andre Drummond announced earlier this month that they will enter this year's NBA draft, a move both were expected to make even if UConn had been eligible for the tournament.
Alex Oriakhi earlier announced he is transferring to Missouri for his senior season.
Smith, a 6-foot-8 forward, averaged 4.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 33 games during his sophomore season, down from 5.4 points and five rebounds as a freshman, when he helped Connecticut to its third national title.
Bradley, a 6-10 redshirt freshman, was injured in the preseason and has never played a game for the Huskies. He was expected to compete for a starting job next season after the departure Oriakhi and Drummond.
Bradley has expressed a desire to be closer to his home in Tennessee and his ailing grandmother, but coach Jim Calhoun told The Hartford Courant school is still trying to work on a plan that would allow him to stay at Connecticut.
If both Smith and Bradley leave, Connecticut would be left with just six returning scholarship players: guards Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright; swingmen DeAndre Daniels and Niels Giffey, and centers Tyler Olander and Enosch Wolf.
UConn has just one signed recruit, 6-4 guard Omar Calhoun from New York. The school also has a verbal commitment from R.J. Evans, another 6-4 guard, who plans to transfer from Holy Cross, where he averaged 11.5 points last season. Evans, who graduates this spring, has one more year of eligibility and could play immediately.
UConn is expected to try and sign at least two more players this spring.
The Huskies have not had a losing season since coach Jim Calhoun's first as the school's head coach in 1986-87.
UConn faces a postseason ban because of several years of low scores on the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate.
In its waiver request, the school argued the penalty was applied retroactively and hurts current students, who had nothing to do with the low scores and have made significant improvements in recent years.
The NCAA's Committee on Academic Performance is meeting this week and may discuss changes to the APR that would allow it to use data from the two most recent academic years when determining a school's eligibility.
The governing body currently uses data from 2009-10 and 2010-11 in determining eligibility for the 2013 tournament.
UConn would qualify for next year's tournament under the proposed rule changes.

Roque Santa Cruz has admitted his Manchester City career is finally over and his future at on-loan club Malaga is in serious doubt beyond the end of this season.
The 31-year-old, who was signed from Blackburn for 17.5 million pounds in 2009, hardly featured at the Etihad Stadium but has rebuilt his reputation with a successful spell in southern Spain.
In an exclusive interview, Santa Cruz told Goal.com he bears no grudges over his treatment by City, which has previously loaned him out to Blackburn and Betis.
"At City I had an excellent relationship with the coach, first Mark Hughes and then Roberto Mancini, and with the club. I knew the situation when I arrived there," he said. "Mancini was honest with me. I don't blame anyone. They made big investments. I didn't get to play much, but there's no blame.
"During my season at Manchester City I wasn't 100 percent right, physically. Now I am. But I won't be going back there. In June, I'm no longer a Manchester City player. My contract finishes."
Santa Cruz, who is the joint-top scorer in Paraguay's history, now faces an uncertain club future despite making a strong impression with Malaga. Although owned by a Qatari billionaire, the club's free-spending days appear to be over. The sale of left back Nacho Monreal to Arsenal in the January transfer window was another setback for the club.
"It's a difficult situation here. I'm happy playing here. But further ahead I'll see what's best for me and what possibilities there are," said Santa Cruz. "The financial situation has an influence on the future of the club, on me and on the other players.
"There's no security about which players arrive or leave. It's a difficult situation which the club has to resolve as soon as possible."
Santa Cruz also defended his former City teammate Mario Balotelli, who joined AC Milan from the Etihad Stadium for over 20m euros on transfer deadline day.
The striker added: "Balotelli is a young player, one of the most talented young players, and has a lot ahead of him in his career. He's made a lot of mistakes for his young age, both on and off the pitch. He's not a bad kid. He's a good person, really.
"But he experienced a different youth to what others do, and it shows. I think he will still show what he can do and he can still achieve a lot at his new club. I hope it works out well for him there after everything that has happened to him."
Santa Cruz scored twice in Malaga's 3-2 defeat of Real Madrid last December, and the Paraguayan is looking on the bright side despite their financial difficulties.
"Things are going well. I had a good first half of the season. We qualified for the next phase of the Champions League. The team's playing very well," he said. "Although we lost against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, we're still fourth in the league and we can finish in the top four. We believe we have enough to get there."
Malaga has qualified for the knockout phase of the Champions League for the first time this season and will face Portuguese champion Porto in the last 16.
"It will be a tough game against Porto. We're preparing very well and are looking forward a lot to the game, as are the fans. We hope to play well and get through," he said. "Jackson Martinez is playing again for them after the injury he had for a short time. He's a top player for them. But we have to concentrate on ourselves and not on them.
"We're confident we can progress. It's a huge thing for the club and we want to make the fans happy. It would be great to continue our good run."

PHOENIX -- It's going to be more interesting everyday to watch the player that former 76er center Nik Vucevic becomes with each passing day, particularly in light of the way the second-year player is emerging.
No one in Philadelphia last season saw the soft-spoken Vucevic, the 16th selection in the 2011 draft, as anything special as his time wound down with the Sixers. In fact, we hardly saw him at all as the season wound down.
In fact, by the time the playoffs rolled around, Vucevic, who made 15 starts for the Sixers during the regular season, was little more than an afterthought. By the time the playoffs wrapped, Vucevic had made one postseason appearance, playing a grand total of three minutes and making a free throw – in a loss to Boston.
But the guy who was sometimes described as a little too meek to make a difference and was shipped to Orlando to help the Sixers acquire injured Andrew Bynum is now, all of a sudden, one of the best rebounders in the league.
Surely no one in Orlando expected Vucevic to grab the 29 rebounds he hauled in against Miami on New Year's Eve and break the franchise's 19-year-old single-game rebound record held by Shaquille O'Neal, but that's exactly what he did.
If the Sixers don't get anything out of Andrew Bynum – who is somewhere in the murky world of an unspecified 'six-step process' of returning to the court – trading Vucevic could turn out to be the biggest mistake they made in the offseason.
The argument goes that sometimes guys put up big numbers on bad teams, and this is true – but that's at the offensive end. Rebounding is all heart, guts and determination. When the ball goes comes off the rim, the guy who gets it is the guy who wants it the most and it doesn't matter what type of team he's on.
Looking at the way things are right now, it's not going out on a limb to suggest that Vucevic, over the long haul, will be a better rebounder than anyone currently on the Sixers active roster. He's averaging a double-doubles (10.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, good enough for seventh in the league), and he' shooting better than 50 percent from the floor. Over the last five games, he' averaged 14.8 boards.
He's only going to get better – with playing time, of course. Heck, in a few years from now we might be looking at the No. 16 pick in the 2011 draft as that class's steal.

Tuesday is traditionally a day off for NFL players, but that didn't stop many of the Giants yesterday from going out to help in the relief efforts following Hurricane Sandy.
Players headed to the Jersey Shore, Staten Island and New Jersey food banks to help and assist those suffering from the after-effects of the super storm that devastated parts of the region.
In addition, the Giants have donated $500,000 to help the relief efforts, splitting the money evenly between two major organizations, Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund and the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City.
"The New York metropolitan area sustained extensive and devastating damage to its infrastructure in Hurricane Sandy," Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch said in a joint statement. "The Giants want to do everything we can to assist our neighbors, fans and friends. Toward that end, after careful consideration, we have decided to make donations to these two very worthy funds. We are in this for the long haul and will continue to assist relief efforts in our hard-hit region."
The Giants put their muscle behind their money. Eli Manning traveled to Staten Island with the American Red Cross to assist in the battered borough. Eight players went to Seaside Heights, where the famed boardwalk was destroyed by the storm. Those assisting the relief efforts and distributing food there were Steve Weatherford, Prince Amukamara, Marcus Kuhn, David Douglas, Brandon Mosley, Matt Broha, Terrence Fredrick and Laron Scott.
Other Giants — Justin Tuck, Kevin Boothe, Lawrence Tynes, David Baas, Domenik Hixon, Bear Pascoe and Jim Cordle — were at the New Jersey Food Bank, where they assisted in sorting food and making sandwiches for relief workers.
The Giants and the NFL have encouraged donations to American Red Cross in-stadium and during game broadcasts. Manning and Osi Umenyiora taped PSAs for the relief effort last week. Fans wishing to donate to the American Red Cross can text Red Cross to 9-0-9-9-9 to donate $10. They can also call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
When they hosted the Steelers on Sunday, the Giants held their annual food drive to assist victims of the storm. Fans donated 38,405 pounds of food and $18,723, making it by far the team's most successful drive ever.

Two area men, claiming to have been hired by a real estate agency to clean an abandoned house, allegedly tried to steal items from the house and sell vehicles on the property to a salvage company, police said.
Arthur J. Stebbins, 43, of 45 Roy St., Whitinsville, pleaded not guilty Monday to breaking and entering during the daytime, larceny valued at more than $250, possession of burglary tools, larceny from a building, conspiracy, trespassing and four counts of attempting to commit a crime.
Wayne Ciabaszewski, 62, of 106 Douglas Road, Apt. 69, Webster, pleaded not guilty to the same charges, as well as trespassing with a motor vehicle.
Both men were held on $250 bail in Dudley District Court. Their pretrial hearings are April 10.
On Friday, Patrolman Keith A. Johnson observed a pickup truck in the driveway of 38 Northside Road, which he knew was vacant and in foreclosure, a police report said.
Patrolman Johnson pulled behind the truck and checked its registration, which came back listed to Mr. Ciabaszewski.
When Patrolman Johnson asked Mr. Stebbins why he was at the house, he allegedly said he was helping �the other guy� clean up the property for the bank.
Mr. Stebbins then called for Mr. Ciabaszewski, who was still in the house, which has a posted no-trespassing sign per order of the Board of Health, police said.
Mr. Ciabaszewski said he had been hired by RE/MAX to clean the property. He said he picked up Mr. Stebbins to help him for the day.
But police called RE/MAX and was told the company had not made contact with the Bank of America, which owns the property. It would need to contact the bank before sending anyone to the property.
During the exchange, a tow truck arrived at the request of Mr. Stebbins, who had made arrangements to sell four vehicles at the property to K&R Auto Salvage of North Providence, R.I., for $1,300, police said.
The back of the truck had been filled with many items, including a small woodstove, horse saddles and various tools.

38% of Merrill alcohol retailers fail latest compliance checks
On Saturday, Dec. 19, the Merrill Police Department conducted alcohol compliance checks with local alcohol retailers.
In a report to the city's Health & Safety Committee, Police Chief Ken Neff noted that 38% of the alcohol retail businesses that were checked, failed by selling alcoholic products to an adult under the age of 21. The establishments checked included convenience stores, grocery stores and taverns.
"This non-compliance rate is slightly higher than the average non-compliance of 30% that we have experienced over the past five years," Neff stated.
As a result of the non-compliance checks, eight employees of the establishments that sold alcohol to the underage person were issued a municipal citation. Conversely, 13 of the 21 retailers checks complied with the law and refused to sell alcohol to the underage person involved in the compliance checks.
As in the past, the Merrill Police Department will be offering an Alcohol Server Workshop on Feb. 2 to all alcohol retailers and employees in an effort to curb the sale of alcohol to underage persons in the city of Merrill. This workshop is offered free of charge in conjunction with the Lincoln County Drug-free Coalition and funding is provided by the Merrill United Way.
Neff concluded that the Merrill Police Department will continue to conduct compliance checks of licensed alcohol retailers with a goal of seeing a reduction in the non-compliance rate.

|Market Snapshot:
Week Chg
Week %Chg
S&P 500 Index
Dow Jones Industrials
NASDAQ Composite
Value Line Arithmetic Index
Minor Cycle* (Short-term trend lasting days to a few weeks) Positive / Neutral
Intermediate Cycle* (Medium trend lasting weeks to several months) Neutral
Major Cycle* (Long-term trend lasting several months to years) Positive
* Cycle status is based on S&P 500.
Now things get interesting…
On May 22 not only did all of the major indexes top out on the Minor Cycle (1687.18—S&P 500) that had been in effect since the April 18 short-term lows (1536.03—S&P 500), but all also traced out rare Key Reversal Day (KRD) formations which, historically, can be bearish.
In the wake of those highs the S&P pulled back 7.5%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average 6.3%, the NASADAQ Composite 6.7%, and the Value Line index 6.3%. All have since recovered modestly in the face of short-term "Oversold" conditions, statistical support at the lower edge of 10-Week Price Channels with the recent suggestion the market was overdone on the downside as measured by our VIX-based volatility indicator.
Market Overview – What We Know:
- All major indexes posted modest gains last week. NASDAQ Composite rallied the most with a 2.23% advance.
- Trading volume due to truncated holiday week was down 45% relative to previous week.
- Minor Cycle in S&P 500 has taken on more positive tone with price strength above upper edge of 10-Day Price Channel. To reverse that favorable trend S&P must decline below lower edge of Channel (1593.29 through Monday). Intermediate Cycle remains positive and S&P must decline below lower edge of 10-Week Price Channel (1602.69 through July 12) to reverse extant trend to negative. Major Cycle remains positive and historically "Overbought."
- Our short-term volatility indicator based on VIX data was last positive, but indicator has rapidly returned toward levels of vulnerability that developed into May 22 highs.
- Daily MAAD moved higher last week, but remains below May 22 short-term high and is still above an uptrend line in effect since November's lows. Daily MAAD Ratio was last just above marginally "Overbought" point at 1.33 while with Weekly MAAD Ratio was modestly "Overbought" at 1.44.
- Daily CPFL rallied to new short to intermediate-term high June 11, remains below that level and uptrend line stretching back to November lows. Daily CPFL Ratio was last near "Neutral" at 1.03 Weekly CPFL Ratio marginally "Overbought" at 1.29.
- Cumulative Volume (CV) in both S&P 500 and S&P Emini futures contract has continued to underperform pricing. CV in S&P Emini has only recouped about 25% of losses since May 22 highs while cash S&P has come back nearly 50%.
While some have suggested selling from May 22 to June 24 was merely a "corrective phase" in an otherwise positive Intermediate Cycle begun last November 16 that is still operating within the context of a still positive Major Cycle advance begun in March 2009, we wonder if they might be overlooking some significant clues after the recent decline and the nature of the "recovery" since then.
Market Overview – What We Think:
- Although market pricing has recovered modestly since June 24 lows with some indicators still remaining toward "Oversold" levels, pronounced lack of market volume, as reflected in our Cumulative Volume (CV) indicator makes rally suspect.
- There is also potential for new negativity in our VIX-based volatility indicator that has rapidly moved back to levels reached just before May 22 index price highs.
- Lacking strength that will ultimately carry prices back above May highs and potential Key Reversal Day (KRD) highs (1687.18—S&P 500), only presumption left is that May highs were also top of Intermediate Cycle uptrend begun last November 16 and that tone of market could remain negative until Intermediate Cycle eventually slips into buying zone.
- How intermediate trend plays out will ultimately determine staying power of Major Cycle advance begun in March 2009.
- Fact sellers have continued to push prices lower after each upside attempt and that market remains "Overbought" on larger cycles is indication of larger cycle vulnerability. Market's inability to overcome sellers could be a clue environment has begun to shift from one of buying on weakness to one of selling on strength.
- Marked increase in trading volume on downside during recent decline as reflected in Cumulative Volume suggests S&P 500, S&P 500 Emini, and Dow Jones 30 should be trading lower that current bids suggest. Last time such volume losses developed was during 2008-2009 bear market.

The right-back is one of five English players to sign a new contract to stay at the Gunners this season - along with Kieran Gibbs, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott - while Welshman Aaron Ramsey also penned a new deal.
And the ex-Charlton defender supports manager Arsene Wenger's belief that British players are more committed to the club, and more relatable to the fans.
He told the club's official website: "I've seen what the boss has said himself [about a British core].
"I think he said that signing young British players will [be beneficial because] they are more likely to be committed to the club and stay at the club for a long time. I think he's right in that thinking.
|Arsenal are 9/1 with Paddy Power to beat Tottenham 2-1
"The boss just wants the best players for Arsenal Football Club. If he thought they were from elsewhere, I'm sure he would sign them. He obviously thinks that [by signing the British players up] we're as good or better than any other options that he had. That can only be a good thing for us.
"From my point of view, I think it's good to have an English core. We're an English club and with English players and an English squad, the fans can relate to that.
"Arsenal Football Club are going to sign players that are the best and I don't think it will really matter where they're from."

DailyDirt: A Long Time To Make Really Big Stuff...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
In the software world, it's widely known that throwing more people at a (delayed) project can make it take even longer to finish instead of speeding things up. (See Brooks's Law) Maybe folks are learning how to cope with this management dilemma, but it looks like the solutions might involve throwing even more people AND more money to get projects to finish on time. The most practical answer, though, might be to come up with more realistic budgets and schedules. However, there are plenty of examples that practical proposals are not forthcoming. Here are just a few construction projects that have faced delays, and we may still have to wait a few years to see how they actually turn out.
- The new eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is finally open -- after the old bridge was demonstrated to be a bit unsafe in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The new bridge section cost about $6.4 billion (well over the $1.3 billion projected budget in 1996) and took a decade longer than expected. The result may not be perfect, but what is? [url]
- Bridges might take some time to build, but it's nothing compared to tunnel construction like the New York City Water Tunnel No. 3. project NYC's Water Tunnel No. 3 project was approved in 1954, started in 1970, and is expected to be complete in 2020 (at a cost estimated over $6 billion). [url]
- The 202-story Sky City was supposed to be the tallest skyscraper in the world -- with an ambitious goal of being built in just 90 days, but it's been delayed indefinitely. The building was designed to be constructed using pre-fabricated modules, and the tycoon behind this skyscraper, Zhang Yue, promises it will be completed in mid-2014. [url]

The former Byrnes quarterback languished on the bench all season for the Scarlet Knights, and it's anyone's guess as to why.
Rutgers first-year football head coach Kyle Flood must be stubborn.
What happened Friday night as he stuck with his undying loyalty to sophomore quarterback Gary Nova during a pathetic effort in the Russell Athletic Bowl, a 13-10 overtime loss to Virginia Tech in Orlando, Fla., was absolutely mind-boggling.
It was might have been the worst game by a quarterback in bowl history if not college football history. Nova was unwatchable.
The only reason some of us peered through our fingers at this miserable performance was to see if Byrnes High School product Chas Dodd, the record-breaking and bowl-winning starter in his first two seasons at Rutgers, would get another chance.
It didn't happen.
Nova continued to be awful. He missed three wide-open touchdown passes in the first half alone and finished 17 of 40 for 129 yards. He led the offense to just three points and that was a missed opportunity for seven. He was sacked three times as he stood in the pocket for too long, had two balls knocked down at the line of scrimmage, threw a bad interception and could have been picked off five — yes, five — other times.
ESPN commentator Matt Millen, a former NFL player and general manager, said Nova has "awful footwork" and "throws a terrible deep ball."
Truth be told, despite leading Rutgers to a share of the Big East championship behind a strong defense, Nova hasn't been that good. He racked up more than 2,500 yards, but if Virginia Tech had held on to the would-be interceptions, Nova would have finished with more picks than touchdowns. The Scarlet Knights were seventh in passing offense, ahead of only Temple. In the red zone, they were dead-last in the league and not in the top 100 teams on the FBS level.
For the final third of the season, Nova actually got worse, ending with the lowest of low performances in the bowl game. For goodness sake, he was picked off six times by Kent State. In the final three games of the regular season, Nova threw five picks and the only win was 10-3.
And, yet, Dodd barely saw the field in his junior season.
Dodd started 16 games in his first two years, breaking numerous school records as a freshman (including 322 yards and two TDs in his first career start against Connecticut and four TD passes against Cincinnati) and leading Rutgers to a bowl victory against Iowa State as a sophomore.
This year, however, Dodd appeared briefly in three games. He threw one pass.
How this happened is beyond my understanding. How he never got a chance even in a mop-up role cries not only of stubbornness by the head coach, but perhaps something much, much worse.
Rutgers desperately needed a spark in the bowl game. Why not try Dodd?
In the postgame news conference, Flood was flooded with tough questions.
Reporter: "Are you confident in Nova as your starting quarterback going into the spring or will you open the competition?"
Flood: "I'm confident in Gary as our starting quarterback."
Say what?
"Nothing I saw from him made me feel like I should make a change," Flood said.
Really? Were you watching?
Meanwhile, Nova did not appear to have been knocked down a peg.
"I don't lose confidence. I never lose confidence," he said.
And when told that Flood stated that he would not open the quarterback competition next spring to Dodd or anyone else, Nova said, "I like that. It's great."
Dodd, to the surprise of no one who has been around him, hides his frustration and shows nothing but class.
"It's been difficult," Dodd told The Star-Ledger and NJ.com a few weeks ago. "Any guy wants to play, wants to be on the field. … Right now, in my position, instead of going and crying about it, I'm going to work hard and still try to be a leader on this team."
So you can count on Dodd not getting a chance next year, his senior season, and Rutgers riding all the way with a Nova that should have been parked.

Smokin! Aphibarnrat holds nerve to win Malaysian Open after thunderstorm delay
Phil Casey, Press Association

14:01 GMT, 24 March 2013
Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat today held his nerve after an untimely weather delay to claim his first European Tour title with a wire-to-wire victory in the Maybank Malaysian Open.
The tournament had been reduced to 54 holes following thunderstorms on each of the first three days, and another arrived just after the final group had teed off on the 16th hole today.
That meant a two-hour delay with Aphibarnrat one shot ahead of Italy's Edoardo Molinari, who had completed his 67 just before the delay and was safely in the clubhouse.

But Aphibarnrat made light of the disruption, hitting his approach to the 16th to three feet for birdie and then saving par on the next after almost finding water over the back of the green.
The 23-year-old former junior world champion therefore had the luxury of taking six on the 634-yard par-five 18th to complete a closing 70, sealing a a one-shot win over Molinari and claiming the first prize of 303,000.
Denmark's Anders Hansen (66) was third on 11 under, with France's Victor Dubuisson (70) and South African Charl Schwartzel (71) joint fourth a shot further back.
'This means a lot to me,' Aphibarnrat said. 'I had been struggling a lot after getting sick with my thyroid, but I fought and worked hard with my dad and my coach to have today.
'I have to thank my family, my mum and dad have always supported me and I am sure they are in front of the TV watching.'
Realisation: Aphibarnrat won his first European Tour title in Malaysia
The leaders started the day on the third hole and Aphibarnrat pitched to three feet for a birdie before holing from 15ft for an eagle on the par-five fifth.
At that stage his nearest challenger was Ireland's Padraig Harrington, who had eagled the same hole and also picked up three birdies, but the three-time major winner carded three bogeys in succession on the back nine to fade to sixth.
Bogeys at the seventh and 12th then saw Aphibarnrat joined at the top of the leaderboard by China's Wu Ashun, but as Wu also faded – shanking a pitch on the 16th into the crowd – Aphibarnrat birdied the 14th to edge ahead of Molinari, who was by now in the clubhouse.
The thunderstorm which arrived soon after looked to have come at a bad time for Aphibarnrat, but he added: 'I think it was good for me, I have time to rest and there were a lot of things going through my head. After I birdied the 16th I thought I had a good chance to win.
'The 18th hole I've played 10 times before, but today it was the toughest hole I have ever played, even though I could make six to win.'
Missing out: Edoardo Molinari had to settle for second place
Molinari was left to rue a number of missed chances, despite having previously missed the cut in all five of his appearances this season.
'It's mixed emotions because I'm very happy to have a good week for the first time in a long time,' said the former Ryder Cup player, who changed coach in December after missing three months following wrist surgery.
'The swing changes (under Sean Foley, who also coaches Tiger Woods and Justin Rose) are starting to pay off which is surprising because I thought it would take a lot longer, but I'm disappointed because I had a lot of chances on the back nine. The 18th is only the second fairway I missed all day which is very disappointing.
'I felt if I birdied the last I might have won outright because it puts a lot of pressure on the guy coming up behind, but unfortunately I think I'll be one or two short.'

EDMONTON, Alberta, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Jaromir Jagr scored 1:46 into overtime Wednesday, lifting Dallas to a 3-2 victory over Edmonton.
It was the third goal of the season for Jagr and the 668th in an NHL career that began in 1990.
Dallas has won back-to-back games for the first time this season. Edmonton suffered its fourth loss in a row.
Ales Hemsky put the Oilers in front early in the second period, but Jamie Benn and Derek Roy both scored for Dallas before the period was over.
Justin Schultz produced a power-play goal for Edmonton midway through the third.
Kari Lehtonen stopped 27-of-29 shots to pick up the victory. Devan Dubnyk suffered the loss while making 25 saves.

The dollar weakened against most of its major peers after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke damped speculation that a reduction of U.S. monetary stimulus was imminent.
The greenback also slid after the People's Bank of China said it would remove limits on lending rates. The yen gained before upper-house elections in Japan. Indonesia's rupiah weakened for a record 11th day as the central bank manages a gradual depreciation of the onshore exchange rate toward offshore levels. Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee yesterday it was "way too early to make any judgment" as to whether a tapering of asset purchases would start in September.
"After Bernanke's comments this week, it's clear that the door is wide open for a number of different scenarios, including increasing asset purchases if that becomes necessary," Omer Esiner, chief market analyst in Washington at the currency brokerage Commonwealth Foreign Exchange Inc., said in a phone interview. "The idea for a September taper is still tentatively on the table, but there is a risk that some softness in U.S. data might ultimately push that back to around December."
The dollar declined 0.1% to 100.29 yen at 9:01 a.m. New York time after earlier appreciating as much as 0.4%. It has gained 1.1% on the week. The U.S. currency was little changed at $1.3103 per euro, headed for a 0.3% weekly decline. The euro lost 0.1% to 131.47 yen.
The greenback will trade within a range of $1.28 to $1.33 per euro for the coming weeks, according to Lee Hardman, a currency strategist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. in London. It will probably rise to 102 yen in the next two weeks, before climbing to 110 within six-to-12 months, he said.
Bernanke Report
Bernanke yesterday delivered his semi-annual report on monetary policy to the Senate panel after telling the House Financial Services Committee the day before that he'll take a wait-and-see stance on stimulus.
The U.S. central bank buys $85 billion of Treasuries and mortgage debt each month as part of its third round of quantitative-easing stimulus to cap borrowing costs. Bernanke said last month the purchases may slow this year and stop in the middle of next year if economic growth meets policy makers' projections.
"Investors have been reassured that monetary policy will remain in place for the foreseeable future from the major central banks and that's helping to restore some stability to broader financial markets," Hardman said.

Carroll County's four-pawed police officer will work despite terminal diagnosisBy JOHN KOZIOL
Union Leader Correspondent
February 25. 2014 8:24PM
OSSIPEE — He's already worked the equivalent of more than 60 human years and Sheriff's Department K9 "Edge" will keep on working to keep the people of Carroll County safe right up to the moment when a disease, not a criminal's bullet, will claim his life.
On Tuesday, Carroll County Sheriff Domenic Richardi announced that Edge, an easygoing, male black lab with a hyperactive tail, and Cpl. Brittany Perley, Edge's handler, will be "transitioning out of service later this year" after some nine years together on duty.
Later Richardi said that Edge has stomach cancer, something that was detected last month. Even though he is receiving chemotherapy, the cancer is so far along that Edge's veterinarian thinks he may only have four to six months to live.
Despite the grim prognosis, Edge is active and at his post every day, said Richardi, and he will continue to serve until he can serve no more.
"He can work and he is currently certified and currently training," Richardi said, adding that Edge's life has already been greatly extended from the three weeks he was given had he not received the chemotherapy drugs.
"What we were told is he can go up until the day, if we so wish, with the medication. It doesn't affect him like humans. You wouldn't notice the difference in him, really," said Richardi, adding that Edge will be watched closely to see if he is in pain.
Carroll County has had a canine unit for more than 20 years, the sheriff said.
On Monday, Richardi said the department acquired "Khaos," a 1-year-old female German shepherd through a grant from the Portsmouth-based Working Dog Foundation of New Hampshire and will begin her drug-detection and tracking training and certification immediately. It is hoped that Khaos, and her handler, Deputy George Stevens, will report for duty this fall.
Canines like Edge and Khaos are useful in law enforcement, said Richardi, who noted that it was important for the Sheriff's Department to have one because they're getting scarcer.
He said Wolfeboro discontinued its canine unit earlier this year, and Moultonborough's four-footed officer is getting older, just like Edge. There is, however, a canine unit at the Freedom Police Department, he said, and one in the area operated by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
Richardi thanked "the many people and businesses for their support and assistance during the time Edge has been in service," among them Melissa Seamans, as well giving a "special thank you" to Kindness Animal Hospital in Ossipee and to Four Your Paws Only in North Conway, both of which donated services and food to Edge and which have also committed to doing the same for Khaos.
"We can't predict when Edge might pass, but we're hoping to have Khaos with some sort of certification by September or October, which would be pretty remarkable when you think about it," said Richardi.
Thinking about Edge, Richardi said he is and always will be a good dog."He was pretty well-natured and energetic for sure. He'll be missed around here. He was, PR-wise, one of the best ones as far as getting along with the public, going to the local events and doing the dog demonstrations."
Edge also had that special tail which, when he was happy and that was most of the time, said Richardi, "was moving a mile a minute."
