Slauson apparently hurt his ribs during the game. Did you see this having any impact on his performance?
Not really. As I mentioned, he had some good blocks at the start and at the end of the game, but kind of struggled in the middle, so it's not obvious at which point the injury occurred and there was no apparent drop-off.
With Celek having a career day yesterday everyone today is saying the jets can't cover tight ends, and while I know that's been a recurring issue in the past, it seems to me Celek's stats were inflated by two long plays that were clearly blown coverages (and Harris, not Smith, took the blame for the 73 yarder). Did the Jets really struggle that much against the TE yesterday, and if so what can they do to fix it? Media types are saying they should jam tight ends at line, so why don't they do that?
The Jets are one of the poorest teams against tight ends according to Football Outsiders, but they are strong against number one and number two receivers, so a lot of it is just a by-product of the fact that the receivers are targeted less often and perhaps that they look to use the tight ends to stretch the field, knowing that they won't be able to do that with their receivers.
They have jammed tight ends and slot receivers to good effect at the line in the past, including this season, but it is often ineffective because the jammer either doesn't get enough of the receiver to slow him down, or ends up slowing down his own pass rush.
As you correctly point out, Celek had some big catches to inflate his numbers on Sunday and the safeties weren't really at fault. Hopefully the zone packages that they run will tighten up over the last few weeks as they did in 2010.
So here is Jason LaCanfora's take on Sanchez:
"Mark Sanchez — He was the worst offender of the bunch. I continue to talk to people who have played with him, and been around the Jets, and don't get the sense there is great hope he will take that next step. Rarely does he get multiple pass-catchers involved in the same game, and, according to sources, he has trouble reading both sides of the field. Therefore, the Jets couldn't go with as many three-receiver sets as they would like. Sanchez still makes horrific throws with far too great regularity and without a dominant run game protecting him, his flaws are being exposed more.
At times, according to the same sources, Sanchez tries to do too much, barking out faux calls at the line and making things more complex than they need to be. He had been better in the red zone for a few weeks, but he still tends to force throws there that lead to crippling turnovers. Santonio Holmes has been pouty about the lack of diversity in the passing attack and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is open to new challenges and looking to explore head-coaching options.
Down 7-0 early, the Jets got a gift on a muffed punt at the Eagles' 14. Sanchez threw an ugly pick on the second play of the drive. Sanchez looked jumpy most of the game, holding the ball and taking sacks. Down 21-0 early in the second quarter, deep in his own territory and needing to protect the ball, he was too casual with his grip and fumbled. He threw another pick in the second half.
You don't see that inspiring a lot of confidence. We'll see if the Giants are able to rediscover their pass rush in the battle of New York this weekend, which could well decide the season for the loser."
To me, this is extraordinarily unfair and inaccurate. I agree with some of his comments about Sanchez–the painful audibles, which seem to confuse the Jets offensive players more than the defense is one example, but some of his other observations are just wrong. So, LaCanfora says, "He had been better in the red zone for a few weeks" when in fact the Jets were leading the NFL FOR THE SEASON in red zone efficiency going into the Eagles game. And then he makes the absurd observation that "Sanchez threw an ugly pick" on a ball that was spot on, right at the top of Holmes' helmet, and right through both of his hands. That "ugly pick" was not on Sanchez at all–it was on the pathetic excuse for a team captain, Santonio Holmes. Yes, Sanchez may have problems seeing the field–but so do many other quarterbacks–watch Stafford or Flacco or many others–who throw some awful picks. Sanchez, to his credit, seems to have reduced the bad picks in recent weeks.
Yeah, this seems slightly ill-informed and he is over the top in how he piles on Sanchez. I'd agree that the source is probably Derrick Mason and if that's the case, he hasn't been here for two months, so it's difficult to take his criticisms seriously.
As you point out, the Jets were number one in terms of red zone scoring percentage entering this week and the first interception was not on Sanchez at all. He definitely struggles to read defenses at times and gets rattled by pressure, but on Sunday, there was one play – the 41 yarder to Keller – where he scanned the field, saw his first options were covered and then found Keller down the field, so I don't see him as a lost cause.
As for the audibles, I'm sure he can only make changes that he's been instructed to do by the OC and we know they've given him extra responsibilities and taken things off his plate at various times, so if he's over-complicating things, it may just be because he's doing what he's been instructed to do - and I'm not sure a wide receiver would fully grasp that.
Anyone who concludes a 25 year old whose stats have been better in each of his first three years has stopped developing "is never going to make that next step" is being overly dramatic. He might. He might not. Some analysts need to stop looking for immediate answers to questions that will take years to answer properly.
You said - "How can you avoid falling behind early on in games? A conservative approach would seem to make sense, but the game didn't spiral out of control because they didn't adopt such an approach on Sunday." I disagree completely! The first four offensive plays the Jets ran the ball down their throats (4 carries, 33 yards) so what do we call next? A screen on 1st and ten!
I'm not sure that negates my point. Four runs, a screen pass and a dump off pass on their first drive is a pretty conservative game plan. It's not like they threw downfield at all and suddenly they're 7-0 down.
I know what you're saying – that even this was not conservative enough and they should have stuck with the run and I have criticized them in the past for this. However, although the running game got off to a good start, the next 20 carries by running backs netted 51 yards, so obviously they were able to adjust, so perhaps they went away from the run at just the right time.
And, while the screen pass is a risky proposition against that type of defense, it should have been a 20-yard gain if Mangold, Slauson or Sanchez did their job better.
Does play action even work against a team like the Eagles? They play the run on the way to the QB anyway, so it's not going to slow them down much.
The Eagles do have plenty of guys crowding the line of scrimmage and any of them might be susceptible to a play fake at any given time. So, while it might not slow down their pass rush, I don't see why it couldn't be effective in terms of freezing a defensive back or getting a linebacker to bite on the fake and being out of position.
Can Kyle Wilson handle Victor Cruz?
Not sure about that. Wilson's been better this year, but he's still not the finished article and Cruz has had a monster season. However, if the Giants go three wide, he'll almost certainly have to cover him.
How much coverage is Holmes seeing this year vs. last year?
Holmes is nearly always double covered, with one safety downfield on his side of the field. Last year, this wasn't the case as often, which must at least be partly due to Braylon Edwards and his ability to stretch the field. Also, teams are often dropping more guys into coverage, because they don't need to blitz to generate pressure against this offensive line, whereas over the last few years, the Jets had one of the best, if not THE best, lines in terms of pass protection.
How is Sanchez still alive at this point in the season? It seems like from all the big hits he has taken and his petite size he should have missed at least a play.
Brunell has relieved him in garbage time a few times, but it is definitely impressive that Sanchez has taken so much punishment yet is still performing.
Schottenheimer kept going to the screen when it was clear they had keyed on that in practice, they would have been idiots not to, considering we racked up a 150 yards on them last week and the announcers kept yelling for Hunter to get help, but it seemed to me like they kept extra blockers in a lot. Is that accurate? I really think the Jets focus too much on the quick pass and emphasize it in practice so that when Mark has to hold it in a game, the o-line doesn't know what to do. They should practice as if every play was a deep drop and stay on their blocks as long as possible.
No, there were fewer extra blockers this week. Ducasse was in for just eight snaps (21 last week) and Mulligan was in less than half of the time. On pass plays, they left an extra blocker in on fewer than one in every two dropbacks. However, these numbers may have been skewed by them going to spread formations in an effort to get back in the game.
The screen has been a staple of their offense in recent weeks and on a few of the ones that didn't work (Sanchez was five of six for just 12 yards), they came close to having success, so I can see the reasoning behind going back to it. Brunell did complete a 27-yarder in the closing stages, so overall they gained 39 yards on seven screen passes.
The Eagles have actually struggled against the screen pass at times, but this is why I was commenting last week on how something that worked last week is not necessarily certain to work the following week, especially since that would become a focus of that week's practice. It may even have been you that was asking whether teams would repeat sequences that had been successful the previous week. Here's a good example of why not.
I can't comment on what they do in practice, but I expect there are plenty of drills that they do where the linemen have to sustain their blocks as long as possible.
On the first McCoy TD run, I think it was Trufant came running over to help on the backside at the snap. Was that by design to get Shady to think he had a lane only to have it plugged by a DB? It seems that several times a game, Rex will call a defense that his team is incapable of executing. It seems good in his head and in theory but he doesn't realize that some of his guys just aren't athletic enough to execute it. As good as our line is, they can't move laterally with these quick RBs that cut back also and he said after the game that they looked as if they were afraid to pressure Vick but didn't he drill into them all week not to overpursue? I'm also curious to know what the dolphins did to contain them last week. I don't think McCoy had a great game and they play a similar style of defense. Did they just execute better? Their safeties aren't really better than ours albeit probably more athletic. It looked like we were playing more zones than we usually do and that really takes Revis and Cromartie out of their strengths. What TD did Cromartie give up?
Cromartie was badly burned in man coverage by a double-move on Celek's touchdown (the one-hander). Generally, Rex Ryan's defense gambles from time to time, not just by rushing a lot of players, but also by trying to set traps – for example by having the slot corner jump the outside receiver's route and rolling coverage over to the slot corner's man. This means they get burned from time to time.
On McCoy's touchdown, it was Kyle Wilson that came off the edge from the slot in an effort to stop McCoy's cutback. He would have had responsibility for the outside lane, but the reason the run worked so well was that Mike DeVito reacted to the misdirection and was forced inside by a double-team block. This gave McCoy a cutback lane that Wilson wasn't fast enough to close, but I don't think the defensive design was flawed, they just out-executed DeVito to create a lane.
Do you like the total QBR thing on ESPN? It's supposed to account for all sorts of things that no one knows what they are. I saw Sanchez got a 3.8 this week. How does someone score that low, when anyone watching the game can see he played pretty well considering the circumstances, threw two beauty TDs and both his picks went through Holmes hands?
Sanchez wasn't very good, but the QBR system is stupid. I have complex reasons for why I believe this, but I'm not going to reveal them.
Can you tell us more about this Sanchez one week hang over after games like this. You're usually positive, so we're gonna need something positive heading into our subway series superbowl.
I've observed that if Sanchez finds himself under significant pressure, as he did in the Oakland/Baltimore games and then the Pats/Broncos games, he then seems to look uncomfortable in the pocket in the next game and will either hold the ball too long, missing an open receiver, or get rid of the ball too early, even though the protection seemed like it was going to hold up and he hadn't waited long enough for routes to develop. That doesn't bode well for this week, or next week.
The only positive thing I can say is that the Jets seem to be at their best when everyone is down on them. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong on Sunday, so they are due some luck and it's unlikely that they'll perform that badly again, especially against a struggling and banged up Giants outfit.
I see you find the positive for a lot of guys who CLEARLY are not playing at a high level (even though they have plenty of years experience). You seem to think Sanchez should be capable of carrying this team on his back already, with a horrible RT no less. You claim "elite quarterbacks will march their team down the field to get them back in the game when the other team goes up big, so the size of the gap between Sanchez and those elite guys is readily apparent to everyone".
The real difference between those guys and ours is not their QB makeup it's something else. QBs like Brady have a great Oline. QBs like Rodgers have great WRs. Sanchez has neither. I'm not putting him in "elite" class because he has lots of short comings but come on. You tell me who could get the job done with one WR who can only make plays in the red zone and another who needs 5 secs to pull off triple moves to get open. Of course needing extra time to get open would be fine, if the Oline could provide it. So my question, just an opinion: Which QB do you think could take these exact same pieces and score 35 unanswered points in a half against a defense knowing you have to pass?
I know it's a long question, keep in mind I am just looking for an opinion, I know it is a big "what if?" but I am interested to know what skill set you think a QB would need to possess to win the type of game the Jets found themselves in Sunday.
I'd just like to clarify those comments if I may. First of all, I was talking more in terms of when teams perhaps soften up their defense and go to more of a soft zone or prevent look. Also, I was making the observation that while we can have confidence that Sanchez will often make a one-off offensive drive with his team trailing, I don't have faith in him to do it several times in a row to eat into a big deficit. Finally, I was merely trying to emphasise the gaping chasm between Sanchez and the elite quarterbacks in the league and pointing out that he isn't yet equipped to carry a team, so the team is in trouble if they land themselves in a situation where they need him to (whether that be due to an ill-advised gameplan or just because they found themselves in a three or four touchdown hole).
Please don't mistake what I was saying to mean that I think Sanchez should be at an elite level already, or that I don't think he is capable of ever getting there.

You said Revis gave up 3 big catches? How many yards did he allow and could you give us his stats for the season?
As noted, one was negated by a penalty, so he had two for 28 yards, one of which was on a third and long where he kept the receiver in front of him and made the tackle to force a punt.
When Revis is thrown at, these are the numbers for opposing QBs:
31-72, 448 yards, one TE, four interceptions (45.4 QB rating, 43.1 completion percentage).
While those are sparkling numbers, over the last four games, he's given up 16 catches on 28 targets for 177 yards and a touchdown – with no interceptions. That's not so good – an 87.9 QB rating. However, he's still rated as PFF's number one cornerback and he's 4th in lowest completion percentage and 2nd in lowest QB rating for anyone with over 30 targets.
matt m:
After the game Eric Smith said the Eagles were able to easily identify the coverage before the snap. This could have something to do with the supposed simplified game, but isn't it still his responsibility to audible the coverage? Between that and him having no clue the playbook was even scaled back, I was pretty alarmed to say the least considering he's known for his "smarts".
I'd imagine they simplified things to the point where there was no audibling of coverages or anything like that. I think, judging by what he was saying, that they knew all of the Jets coverages, so I'm not sure switching from one to another would have helped much.
matt m:
Are there any examples of corners who handle the play-calling in the secondary, or does their position on the field make it too difficult?
I think cornerbacks have to be vocal and the communication across the secondary as a whole is crucial, but as a general rule, as I understand it, you need the calls themselves to be relayed by someone in the middle of the field. I don't know that Revis could communicate with Cromartie if they were both on opposite sides, for example. Also, you presumably get a better viewpoint from a central position that you would on the outside. In any case, the Jets' corners play a lot of man assignments, so presumably a lot of the adjustments being made don't apply to them.
Both Cimini and yourself seem to indicate the inability to cover the TE's at least this week, was not the fault of the safeties, that primary coverage was by Harris, Cromartie and Wilson. Rex, on Monday, kind of claimed that the reason for the Jets poor stats vs. TE's was because we have excellent CB's and other teams gameplan to the middle of the field. Rex's explanation is counter intuitive to me, if the outside coverage is so great shouldn't it make it easier to cover the TE's? Is it possible to ascertain, on a seasonal basis, why the Jets are unable to adjust and get those big guys covered? It seems to me that ALL our LB's and Safeties lack coverage talent, so who they put in coverage doesn't matter, but wondering what the tape shows? Is it perhaps because we play so much man to man, and other teams play zone?
I think the lack of individual coverage talent, at least since Rhodes left and perhaps also due to Bart Scott slowing down is the reason we've seen a shift to more zone coverages since last season.
The cornerbacks do a good job, but that doesn't mean that they don't get help from the safeties. So I don't think covering the receivers over the middle is any easier, opposing teams are just looking for those receivers more and perhaps further downfield. At times, they leave their corners isolated in an effort to help out with the middle, but those are the times that other teams can attack the corners with success.
How much better or not would the Jets be with Kerry Rhodes?
As I said when Rhodes left, the Jets were always going to miss him. Had he been prepared to continue playing the disciplined role which contributed to the Jets' top-ranked defense in 2009 then that's exactly what the Jets miss now – a coverage safety with range that keeps everything in front of him and can handle man coverage assignments.
However, as he was playing that role, a lot of Jets fans were complaining that he wasn't making enough impact plays and Rhodes responded to that in the worst possible way – by complaining about his role and starting to gamble which led to mistakes.
Had they kept him and persuaded him to play that role, then the Jets would be much better off (assuming he didn't get injured like he did this year). However, I'm not certain he wanted that. Since he went to Arizona, he's been playing more the way he wanted to here and has made more impact plays. However, he has also made a lot more costly mistakes and has overall graded out poorly. If he stayed in New York and played that way, I'm not sure the Jets would be any better off than they are now.
PFF has Hunter as the second worst tackle in the NFL I believe.
No, he hasn't been that low since the third week of the season. His low grade from this week's game dropped him back into the top ten, but he's still only 8th worst and 9th worst in pass protection (although his Pass Blocking Efficiency is only 14th worst).
I'm not going to pretend Hunter played well on Sunday, or that he's anything other than a huge downgrade from Damien Woody, but the fact remains that about half the teams in the league start someone comparable or worse at tackle than Wayne Hunter, so that says it all about how many upgrades were readily available.
Regarding coverage, Francesca I thought made a rare astute point, that while Hunter has certainly been a problem, that ANY RT would struggle vs. elite pass rushers like Babin and most teams provide help. The problem with the Jets is that the guys they insert to help, Ducasse and Mulligan, can't block either. Is this a fair assessment?
My current working theory is that Hunter is better off when those guys don't stay in on his side to help, because they sometimes get in his way and prevent him from using his best asset – his athleticism – to recover, because he doesn't have space to do so. Also, this means he's matched up with an interior lineman, which again exposes the fact that he relies on his athleticism more than size, strength and technique.
Unfortunately, Babin is so strong that he was a bad matchup for Hunter anyway, although as I stated in BGA, almost all of the damage was done in the third quarter and he fared okay the rest of the way.
The Giants use Jason Pierre-Paul on the weakside, so unless they change their plans, he'll be matched up with D'Brickashaw Ferguson. I'd imagine that the Jets will trust Hunter to pass protect against Kiwanuka, but Justin Tuck is more powerful, so they might opt to give him help when he's matched with him, even though Tuck has been playing hurt.
In addition to Turner and Hartsock, seems we are missing Lowery and, I can't believe I am typing this, Drew Coleman in the nickel and dime. Has Wilson progressed at all? Is Strickland any good?
Yes, Hartsock barely plays in Carolina, so I wonder if he regrets not taking a minimum salary deal to play a bigger role here. For all his reputation as a penalty machine, he was penalty free in 18 of 19 games last year and there's no question he was better than Mulligan has been. As I've said before, I've always liked Turner. I wonder what condition his leg is in right now. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was 100% and has been sitting watching the Jets' struggles and wondering why they IR'd him instead of waiting it out. You don't think they could use him right now? Remember, his injury was supposed to be healed by mid-season and the Jets probably decided they needed the roster spot more than the ability to use him right at the end of the year. Big mistake, if that's the case.
Drew Coleman made some big plays last year and hasn't done badly in Jacksonville, but overall he was beaten more than Wilson or Strickland have been so far this year, so they don't really miss him that much. Wilson has certainly progressed since last year, although I think he's another year away from convincing me he can start at this level. Strickland is a reliable enough slot guy most of the time.
I'm in no way saying Sanchez is an elite QB, but I do think it's a little unfair to say elite QBs will march their team down the field to get them back in the game when their team is down big. How often do Brady or Rodgers or Brees have to bring their teams back from 21 or 28-point deficits? Sure, their defenses are awful and they have to score a lot, but they're usually not playing from way behind. Anyway, we have plenty of examples of Sanchez marching down the field to win the game in the 4th quarter or OT, so he is capable. Even the great Aaron Rodgers couldn't get a drive going against the Chiefs…Sanchez scored 37.
These are good points, but if the Jets faced any of these guys in the postseason and went 17-0 up early in the second quarter, would you be that confident they could hold on? Both Manning and Brady fell behind against the Jets in the postseason over the last couple of years, but then got things going.
Are there other teams with similar personnel that cover TE's and RB's out of the backfield better? If so, how? Should Jets LB's be engaging TE's better/longer at the LOS? It did look like Vick bought a lot of time with deep, backpedalling drops and, as noted, eluded some near sacks, but this is a consistent issue.
Well, the Ravens and Steelers have pretty similar base defenses and they are both in the top ten for covering TE's. However, they also have Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed.
As noted above, jamming at the line is something they've had success with in the past – notably against Wes Welker and Brandon Marshall as well as tight ends – but doesn't come without its drawbacks.
The Jets are actually fourth best against RB's.
Are the Jets just lacking personnel to run Ryan's D effectively and he's in denial about it? Ryan's Ravens had a legit one-on-one Pass Rusher and an elite Safety. The Steelers have similar strengths in those spots. Seems that with big, run stopping LB's you need either a legit pass rushing threat, or better backend coverage, if not both.
And you're telling me Jamaal Westerman and Eric Smith can't be those guys?!?!
Only kidding. Yes, that's what they need in an ideal world. Their personnel is better at the cornerback positions, but otherwise they seem to constantly be trying to overcome talent deficiencies with traps, disguise and by having multiple packages.
At first I thought this was a joke, but maybe we should seriously look at moving Cromartie to safety next year & admitting that a good safety is more important than a #2 corner? He's got the size & talent. Revis locks down the #1 WR. Wilson +nickels Strickland or Cole on the #2 with Cromartie running free … It's basically the same formula as 2009 with Revis alone with Shepperd, Lowery & Coleman & then Rhodes running free … Is that nuts?
The problem is that as soon as you do this, you'll realize that a good safety is NOT more important than a #2 corner! I'd much rather they get a durable safety with range, speed and size, but such players don't grow on trees, especially if you need them to also be experienced and/or smart to learn your complex scheme.
Cromartie is a cornerback. However, the way the Jets operate their scheme, that doesn't mean he won't find himself roaming deep in certain situations. Perhaps exploring that more would be a good way to overcome their lack of depth at safety over the next few games, but I think they'll need him in man coverage most of the time.
As half a joke with a bit of a head scratcher, how about putting Maybin in as a free safety? Or better yet, have him as a Monster Man on D, which is a roaming defender. He seems quick enough to cover the middle of the field.
Maybin ran a 4.78 at the combine. That's super slow for a safety. He did improve it to 4.64 at his Pro Day, but even that is slower than Eric Smith's combine time and he was only 249 pounds at the time, so it's not like he's likely to be much faster at the moment.
As noted above with Cromartie, maybe they could drop him deep on a certain look to try and catch the other team out, but he's not going to be the answer to how they replace Jim Leonhard or anything.
While we're on the subject of Maybin, I criticized Muhammed Wilkerson for losing contain on Vick's touchdown run, but now that I've seen the coaches film, Maybin getting caught on the inside was the bigger problem there.
It looks as if Sanchez has lost his love for the game over the past couple weeks. It's almost as if he is just going through the motions and is playing with no passion. Can you comment on this?
I answered a similar question last week by saying this:
I went to a Sanchez post-game presser in 2009 and what came across was how genuine he was when he said playing in the NFL was the most fun he's had in his life, even though that was after a tough loss. These days, I completely agree that sometimes he doesn't look like he's having as much fun and I have definitely noticed his reluctance to celebrate with the fans since they booed him.
However, this might not be a negative thing. Perhaps he's decided to get more serious and that's been reflected in a few good games in a row. I still think he desperately wants to win, even if it's for his teammates and he's decided to use the fans' negativity towards him as fuel for motivation.
I'd suggest that the vast majority of fans are big supporters of Sanchez and I hope he realizes that we all want to win just as bad as he does. Playing with a chip on your shoulder can be a good thing, as long as you don't become stubborn and let it affect your decision making process adversely.

Community invited to bring films and VHS tapes for public screenings
Rochester home movie buffs are invited to share their films and VHS tapes as part of the 10th annual International Home Movie Day on Saturday, Oct. 20. Free and open to the public, the event provides an opportunity for communities to experience these personal records of the past and learn how to preserve them for the future. Experts will also explain how to have films converted to digital formats for easy viewing at home.
The Rochester screenings run from noon to 4 p.m. in the Hawkins-Carlson Room of Rush Rhees Library on the University of Rochester's River Campus and films can be dropped beginning at 11 a.m. that day. The annual event is sponsored by the George Eastman House and the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation.
"The films you'll see at Home Movie Day enable those of us who weren't around at the time to visit moments like the New York World's Fair of 1939-40, and I for one can't get enough of those," said film critic and historian Leonard Maltin. "Documentary filmmakers build whole features around such footage, and I'm sure historians will continue to rely on amateur movies to tell them what life was like in 20th-century America."
The event is especially helpful for people who have inherited films from older relatives but are unable to view them. The organizers accept a variety of formats, including 8mm, super-8, 16mm films, or, new this year, VHS tapes and trained archivists and technicians will inspect each movie prior to projection.
Featured movies are not restricted to one's own family and can include found films. Participants are invited to provide narrations, sing songs, or play music along with their films. The Eastman House and the University of Rochester will also screen home movies from their collections.
"Saving our film heritage should not be limited only to commercially produced films," said film director Martin Scorsese, a fan of the annual event. "Home Movie Day is a celebration of these films and the people who shot them. This is a truly special way of celebrating this often over-looked area of our film history, and I congratulate George Eastman House for supporting this important initiative."
Admission and participation is free, but donations will be accepted. For more information call (585) 271-3361 ext. 396, or visit homemovieday.com. There is free weekend parking in campus lots as well as metered parking available.

The euphoria over ethanol production got another shot in the arm with the recent release of global warming findings, which put much of the blame on burning fossil fuels. The public and political support of ethanol has driven corn prices up and up, and as of early February they were still climbing. The result is sure to be more acres of corn.
Though there is no way to know precisely what the 2007 corn crop will look like in terms of acreage and yield, it is likely to have a significant impact on other traditional row crops in the Southeast, especially peanuts.
Since it became a popular crop in the post WWII years, the classic rotation for peanuts has been two years of corn and one year of peanuts. In virtually all these years corn was the second crop to the real money crop — peanuts. Now, the roles are reversed. Corn at $4 per bushel is equivalent in value to peanuts at $600 per ton. Initial peanut contracts have been offered at $415 per ton.
Peanut production in 2007 will be plagued by increased herbicide costs, further reducing profitability. University of Georgia Weed Scientist Eric Prostko says 2005 and 2006 studies of herbicide resistance indicate weed resistance to ALS-inhibiting classes of herbicides is much more widespread in Georgia than previously thought. It is likely, he contends, this is true throughout the peanut producing states of the Southeast.
Herbicides used in corn production, especially atrazine, do a good job of cleaning up fields with weeds and grasses that are typically treated with ALS-inhibiting herbicides. From this perspective increased plantings of corn could be a big advantage for future peanut production.
A number of weeds have shown resistance to a number of herbicides, but by far glyphosate resistant Palmer amaranth pigweed is the major problem.
Though glyphosate is not used on peanuts, except in some rope wick treatments for large weeds, the best alternative to glyphosate on Roundup Ready cotton and soybeans is ALS-inhibiting herbicides. Cadre, probably the most widely used herbicide for controlling a number of weeds troublesome to peanut production, is an ALS-inhibitor. Strongarm, which is gaining in popularity, likewise is an ALS-inhibitor.
By planting corn, peanut and cotton growers can get away from using these popular herbicides, and as Prostko notes, not using herbicides to which weeds have adapted a resistance for just one year can make a big difference.
The University of Georgia scientist points out that pigweed grows rapidly. "If I make a recommendation for spraying a field for pigweed control one day and the grower waits three or four days to spray, that recommendation may not be the right one," he says. The bottom line is that timeliness is critical in pigweed control. For any peanut field with a history of pigweed problems, it is a good bet to use Prowl or Sonolan. Rotating herbicides is essential, but usually adds production costs that many growers simply can't afford.
Corn has long been planted as a rotation crop with peanuts to break up nematode cycles. The most serious nematode pest of peanuts is Meloidogyne arenaria Race 1, the peanut root-knot nematode. It typically affects peanuts grown on lighter, sandier soils, which are predominant throughout the peanut belt.
Pod rot, white mold, and other soil-borne diseases may increase when the peanut plant is infected with this root-knot nematode. The lesion nematode, Pratylenchus brachyurus, is less troublesome, but it can reduce yields and seriously disfigure the peanut hulls with unattractive brown lesions that lead to pod rotting.
Though some root-knot nematode reproduction could be expected on field corn, this crop is considerably less susceptible than peanuts and is generally effective in the reduction of root-knot nematode soil populations. It is a suitable crop to grow in a year following a root-knot nematode-infected peanut crop.
Losing cotton acreage may be as detrimental to nematode management as gaining corn is beneficial to production. Cotton is not a host for peanut root-knot nematodes and is a very good rotational crop with peanuts.
Increased corn production will clearly have a number of agronomic benefits to future peanut production, but there is one potentially devastating result. With corn now the money crop, some speculate it will go on the best land, and even more critical on land that is irrigated.
Peanut yields in the Southeast averaged less than 3,000 pounds per acre and in the Carolina-Virginia belt just over 3,000 pounds per acre over the past three years. Already the rule of thumb is that growers make money only on two ton per acre peanuts, they simply can't afford yield and quality losses associated with growing on marginal land and without irrigation.
Growing dryland corn in the Southeast is risky at best. To get close to the national average of 151 bushels per acre, growers in the Southeast will have to put corn on their best land and apply water during the critical late-May to mid-June growth period. As corn growers in Alabama and Georgia learned during the early- to mid-season drought in 2006, dryland corn production under such conditions is impossible. While cotton and peanuts can recover from long stretches of heat and drought, corn cannot.
In North Carolina, North Carolina State University Corn Specialist Ron Heiniger says the use of irrigation for growing corn in North Carolina has increased steadily over the past 30 years. The major advantages of irrigation in corn production come from an increase in yield potential and more consistent yields over time.
In comparison studies of irrigated and non-irrigated corn in commercial fields over a seven year period, Heiniger found that irrigated corn fields yielded over 215 bushels per acre on average; while non-irrigated fields on the same farm over the same period averaged only 140 bushels per acre. Furthermore, the irrigated yields during the seven years ranged from 194 to 245 bushels per acre; while non-irrigated yields ranged from 13 to 204 bushels per acre.
The bottom end of the North Carolina findings, 13 bushels per acre, may be what drives growers to put as much corn as possible under irrigation. Growing dryland peanuts also can be a risky proposition, but less so than corn. And, with corn having the more favorable profitability, it is a good guess that more dryland peanuts will be planted in 2007 than in 2006.
Peanut production reached nearly 2.5 million tons in 2005, creating a carry-out of over 53 percent more than demand. Dell Cotton, director of the Virginia Peanut Growers Association, says a 30-35 percent carry-out is a good balance. A 29 percent drop in acreage in 2006 brought the carry-out to a more manageable 36.5 percent.
Cotton expects another drop in peanut acreage of 10 percent or more for 2007. Even with above average yields, that could create a demand for peanuts that would drive prices up and be an economic benefit for the next few years.
Overall, increased corn acreage in the Southeast should have a positive benefit for peanut producers. In fact, most peanut farmers are also cotton or corn farmers, making the transition a natural one for either a switch to corn or an increase in current corn acreage.

Can I connect my macbook pro Retina to two x "Mini DisplayPort to Dual-link DVI Adapter" driving 2 x Dell 2560x1600 monitors?
I have a macbook pro Retina. I am happy using it with a Displayport Dual-DVI adapter with a Dell monitor (2560 x 1600). I would like to know if I can order a second adapter and connect my macbook pro Retina to a 2nd exactly the same monitor?
Thank you in advance.

Best Answer:
I am happy to report that I was able to connect 2 adapters to attach to Dell Cinema monitors (2650 x 1600 each) to my Macbook Pro.
Note that each adapter needs a USB port which meant the second adapter had to use a USB port on the right hand side of my MBP. Fortunately, the y-shape part of the adapter is long enough to reach the USB on the right side.
Also, I can use the built-in monitor for a total of 3 screens. I am using the set-up for mostly browsing and highly text based app so I cannot vouch how the set-up might operate with low latency apps such as games running high-res and fast changing graphics.

I am connecting a Retina Macbook Pro (15", 2.4Ghz, 16gb) with 2 Dell U2713M with resolution of 2560x1440. Works great so far with 2 Apple Dual Link DVI adapters. One thing to note is that these adapters require USB for power and the Y-shaped end of the adapter does not make the USB cable long enough to connect to the second available USB port on the rMBP as it is located on the right side (the Thunderbolt ports are both on the left side, along with one USB port). I wish Apple had put both USB ports next to the 2 Thunderbolt ports. I am also using a Macbook Air which is placed to the left of the rMBP and connecting the second USB cable into the MBA, this works just fine as the USB cable is merely looking for a power source. So I suppose if you only had the rMBP you would have to find a way to power the second Dual Link adapter. I have also tested using the Dell U2713M with the MBA (which can only take one external monitor this way) and works just fine so will consider picking up a third monitor and dual link adapter for a full setup. As a note I am not using this setup for any graphic intensive work, mostly text and charts and as noted it works wonderfully well. Bear in mind the laptop will be hotter at work as it is working harder to support the external monitors and occasionally the fans will be a little noisy but nothing too alarming. I read a lot of negative reviews on the Dual Link Adapter before purchasing but I suspect the problems may arise if using older equipment as most reviewers who were using relatively new equipment (monitor and computer) seemed to be fine.

Google crushes Apple in battle of the brands
But iPod maker most influential in US; Nokia in Europe
Google has knocked Apple off the top of a list of the world's most influential brands in 2005, doing unto the iPod maker what it did to the Internet advertising company in 2004.
The list was compiled by brandchannel.com and was based on a survey of 2,528 branding professionals and members of the public. The poll was conducted online, which undoubtedly skews the survey in favour of technology companies. Of the top ten brands, only two, Starbucks and Ikea, are not technology players.
Google's lead was not tremendous. It scored just over 40 per cent to Apple's 38 per cent, but third-placed Skype - the first time the VoIP company has appeared on the list - scored just 14 per cent, the same as fourth-placed Starbucks, followed by Ikea, Nokia, Yahoo!, web browser Firefox, Skype parent eBay and Sony.
Apple took the lead in the first poll, conducted in 2001. Then, Google was fourth, but took the number-one slot in 2002 and again in 2003. In both years, Apple sat in second place.
Apple can take heart from the North American chart, in which it pushed Google into second place ahead of Starbucks, Target, cyclist Lance Armstrong, personal ads site craigslist, Whole Foods, Coca-Cola, Oprah Winfrey and Amazon.com.
In EMEA, most of the global brands fared less well. Nokia topped the chart, followed by Ikea and Skype. Clothing brands Adidas and H&M made it onto the list (seventh and ninth, respectively), while car-maker BMW came in at number five. Media outlets the BBC (sixth) and Al Jazeera (eighth) also appeared in the chart.
The Asia-Pacific chart nicely sees Tiger Beer placed ninth, ahead of Japanese fad Hello Kitty, but behind (counting downwards) Sony (first place), Toyota, Samsung, LG, banking organisation HSBC, Singapore Airlines, Honda, and travel guide company Lonely Planet (eighth).
Beverage makers Corona and Bacardi topped the Latin American chart, with Cafe de Colombia coming in at sixth and winemaker Concha y Toro making tenth place. ®

Allow me to come clean.
I have never put much stock in political polls. I don't even trust the accuracy of all the latest surveys regarding Congress and how we feel about the job its members have been doing.
Allow me to come clean.
I have never put much stock in political polls. I don't even trust the accuracy of all the latest surveys regarding Congress and how we feel about the job its members have been doing.
In case you haven't noticed, congressional approval ratings have been in free-fall.
Recent estimates range from 12 percent approval down to an abysmal 5 percent rating gleaned from an Associated Press poll — the lowest congressional approval rating ever recorded to date.
I want to know: Who are the 5 percent who think the dysfunctional Washington gang is worthy of any sort of thumbs-up?
I'm guessing the favorable views came from family and friends of the representatives. Maybe the opinions of a few influential lobbyists were sprinkled in. Of course, with any poll's margin for error, it could bring the approval rating closer to where it belongs — zippo.
Just when you thought the congressional image couldn't get any more tarnished, along came a report from a firm called Public Policy Polling.
Their pollsters apparently decided to have a little fun by trying to calculate just how low we think Congress has sunk. The following is a quick sampling of their off-the-wall voter poll findings.
According to their report, we now have a lower opinion of Congress than we do the IRS or the Department of Motor Vehicles. Public Policy poll responders also preferred jury duty to Congress. And to compound the indignity, even hemorrhoids and cockroaches scored higher ratings.
In all fairness, the survey did have Congress polling higher than Miley Cyrus, cable TV celebrity Honey Boo Boo, Charles Manson, heroin and the ebola virus.
Silly? Of course.
But the Public Policy Polling report served to underscore our frustration with inept congressional leadership and members' inability to work together to move important agendas forward without fiscal cliffs, government shutdowns, debt ceiling threats and other manmade crises.
The federal stalemate cost us billions. And that's no laughing matter.
Trouble is, all the pitiful approval ratings in the world probably won't result in significant changes in either the House or Senate come re-election time. We voters may say we're fed up with Congress as a whole, but we generally refuse to lump our representatives in with all those other Washington rascals.
In 2012, roughly 90 percent of the lawmakers who ran for re-election were returned to their seats in Congress. It's no wonder most of our national political leaders don't get too worked up over polling data.
Say this for the 113th Congress — while members have found it nearly impossible to agree on anything, all the recent approval-rating surveys prove they have accomplished one thing — they've succeeded in unifying us against them.
That's polling data we can all believe in.

1. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.herbert_intel Apr 28, 2009 2:36 AM (in response to Tom)
are you sure you have a version that support N? Not all Wifi Link 5100 Cards support it. Some only work as ABG I would check with your manufacturer to make sure you have the correct N version.
2. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.Tom Apr 28, 2009 7:51 AM (in response to herbert_intel)
It is an Intel 5100 Wireless-N (1x2) half mini-card. The spec says it is IEEE 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N1 compliant. Furthermore, the device manager advance tab lists 802.11n mode. But you make a good point. I will check with Intel support.
3. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.Greg Apr 28, 2009 12:00 PM (in response to Tom)
You can check which 5100 adapter you actually have by poping the cover over your NIC and reading the lable, or with the Intel Wireless Lan ID Utility http://downloadcenter.intel.com/detail_desc.aspx?Agr=Y&DwnldID=8061&ProductID=1784
Also, on these cards, Draft-N speeds are only obtained with WPA2-AES security. http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-025393.htm
4. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.Tom Apr 28, 2009 12:33 PM (in response to Greg)
Tried running the utility to confirm the adapter type and ran into an error. Security is set at wpa2-personal AES Other choice is wpa2-enterprise. Router set to wpa-wpa2 auto but same result when changed to wpa2 only.
5. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.Tom May 1, 2009 10:57 AM (in response to Greg)
The card is a 512AN-HMW; D p/n OCY256.
I will not connect if router is set to "N" only.
I realize the easiest way to solve the problem is to lug the computer to a cyber cafe which is a "N" hot spot but frankly the problem should not be that difficult. As usual D-Link support blames the adapter, Dell support says it is the router (they did not supply) and I am waiting for Intel to get back to me (I escalated after reading the suggested docs with no change in the result).
Security is set to WPA2-PERS AES for the card per the documentation and WAP/WPA2 AES on the router (required because 2 other lap tops with g cards will connect on WPA but not WPA2).
6. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.Greg May 1, 2009 11:41 AM (in response to Tom)
Have you tried to connect with security temporarily turned off to eliminate that variable?
7. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.Tom May 1, 2009 1:07 PM (in response to Greg)
It didn't like that little technique at all. Wouldn't even connect.
BTW, running at 1 Gbps in LAN.

Things like this need to be spelled out both in the router and adapter docs.

I've had a similar issue. Using the Intel 5100 (512AN_HMW) and the DIR-655. What did the trick for me was to enable WMM in the Advanced Wireless router configuration.
Log in DIR-655 administration, go to ADVANCED -> ADVANCED WIRELESS -> WMM Enabled. Check this box.
11. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.twashington Jan 29, 2010 2:33 PM (in response to danielleite)
I'm having the same issue with Intel WiFi 1000 BGN and D-Link DIR-655... so the fix is for you guys was enabling WPA2/AES or enabling QoS or enabling WMM or a combonation of two these or all of them?
12. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.danielleite Jan 29, 2010 2:54 PM (in response to twashington)
In my case, the only thing that fixed the issue was to enable WPA2/AES + WMM. It would work with or without QoS, although I recommend enabling it since it probably doesn't hurt.
13. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.doe May 29, 2010 5:06 AM (in response to danielleite)
Enabling AES is the thing to do, as I already read on other forums. So far, I don´t know how. I got a ThinkPad SL510 with a Intel WiFi Link 1000 running Windows 7 Home Premium and a D-Link DIR-615 router. I can enable it in the router settings, but I can´t figure out a way to enbale it at the client. There is a error diagnosis program from Lenovo, that say, the adapter uses TKIP, but no hint how to change it. I already switched all options in the device manager I found, but no trace of AES setting. I also installed Intel PROSet/Wireless, with the result, that I got no connection at all.
Somebody got a hint?
14. Re: 5100 not running in N mode.
Re: D-Link setup and 802.11n connection using WMM option enabled...
This is the only solution that worked for me. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

A Worcester Superior Court jury found Felix Rodriguez guilty of manslaughter Wednesday in the 2009 stabbing death of 25-year-old Willie Jackson III.
Mr. Rodriguez, 54, was charged with murder in the Dec. 22, 2009, stabbing, but the jury of nine men and three women found him guilty of the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter after just under 3-1/2 hours of deliberations.
Mr. Rodriguez, who was acquitted on a related charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, is scheduled to be sentenced Friday. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years� imprisonment on the manslaughter conviction.
A first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without parole.
Mr. Jackson suffered a fatal stab wound to the chest in a makeshift basement apartment at 25 Charlton St.
The assault and battery with a dangerous weapon charge involved an allegation that Mr. Rodriguez held a knife to the throat of Tyrone Harris, who lived in the basement apartment and had invited Mr. Rodriguez there.
After repeatedly telling investigators he did not stab Mr. Jackson, Mr. Rodriguez eventually admitted doing so, but said he used the knife only after being attacked by Mr. Jackson and Mr. Harris. He said he and the other two men were high on crack cocaine at the time.
Mr. Harris, 47, testified during the five-day trial that Mr. Rodriguez took off his clothes, brandished a knife and indicated he wanted to have sex with a woman who was present shortly after his arrival at the apartment.
Mr. Harris said Mr. Jackson snatched the knife from Mr. Rodriguez and tossed it across the room. Mr. Rodriguez stabbed Mr. Jackson after recovering the weapon, according to Mr. Harris.
In his closing argument to the jury, defense lawyer John J. Roemer attacked the credibility of Mr. Harris.
�He is like the Kleenex box of lies. Pull out one, out pops another,� Mr. Roemer said.
Mr. Rodriguez�s lawyer cited Mr. Harris�s long criminal record, which includes a conviction for intimidation of a witness.
�That is a crime against the justice system. We expect truthfulness out of him when he�s fighting truthfulness in court?� Mr. Roemer asked.
He said Mr. Harris and Mr. Jackson had histories of violent behavior and told the jurors if they had reasonable doubt about whether Mr. Rodriguez acted in self-defense, they were obligated to find him not guilty.
Mr. Roemer also referred to the testimony of psychologist Paul A. Spiers, an expert witness for the defense, who said Mr. Rodriguez had limited intellectual capabilities and a history of depression, anxiety and alcoholism that could have affected his state of mind on the night of the killing.
�There was only one aggressor that night, only one person with a weapon. That was Felix Rodriguez,� Assistant District Attorney Brett F. Dillon said in his final summation.
�No one told you there was a fight beforehand except the defendant. Why? Because there wasn�t one,� the prosecutor told the jury.
Mr. Dillon said the evidence showed Mr. Rodriguez �sucker-punched� Mr. Jackson with a knife and argued that the fatal stabbing was both �deliberate and premeditated.�
He described Mr. Jackson�s slaying as �unnecessary and unprovoked.�
The jury began its deliberations shortly before 11:30 a.m. and reached its verdicts about 3:45 p.m.
Judge Richard T. Tucker ordered that Mr. Rodriguez remain in custody without bail until Friday�s sentencing hearing.

Whatever the focal length says on the lens, with an APS-C sensor camera, you have to multiply it by 1.5x (for SONY) to get the effective frame size of what your would see on a Full Frame camera.
Basically, the 17-50mm f/2.8 lens on an APS-C camera turns out about the same images as the 28-75mm f/2.8 lens on the Full Frame.
In a nutshell, here is the image circle from the back of the lens and how it relates to the two different sensors.
Because the APS-C only sees a smaller part of the image circle, it looks like you have effectively zoomed in on the subject. Remember, this applies only to using the same lens on both cameras. The 17-50mm f/2.8 (APS-c only lens) was developed to counter this issue on APS-C sensors. It offers "equivalent" images that you would see with operating a 28-75mm f/2.8 on the Full Frame or 35mm-film body.
Hope that makes some sense. OMG ... it this horse dead, yet? We are so far off my topic ...

Issa drops in: Doesn't match media slantEDITORIAL
March 01. 2014 10:51PM
The nation's "chief Republican attack dog,'' who is also a "bombastic'' man, was in our office the other day. If we hadn't read the press clippings before he arrived, we never would have known.
U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa was in New Hampshire to speak to a Republican fundraiser in Concord and address the N.H. Political Institute at St. Anselm College the next morning. Before departing for Boston in a near-blizzard, the Californian stopped by the Union Leader.
We found Rep. Issa to be thoughtful and candid. He thinks the National Security Agency needs more checks and balances built into it, although he isn't sure how that is to be done. He thinks the Patriot Act, for which he voted, went overboard.
He spoke of wanting to get to the "top'' of the Benghazi affair, rather than the "bottom.''
And he just shakes his head at examples of government waste, galore.
He seemed a pretty reasonable, knowledgeable fellow.
But in a supposed news story about his trip here, the Associated Press lead framed him as that "chief Republican attack dog.''
The lesser known National Journal weighed in with a lead that Issa was "bombastic.''
Issa is used to all this. He said he doesn't mind what the press calls him. But the public should mind. The news media's use of words is a powerful tool to frame issues, groups and individuals. Using terms like "attack dog'' in supposedly straight news coverage used to be considered slanted and opinionated. What is it now?

After nearly a month of training camp and an early January trip to Brazil, Fire forward Mike Magee and goalkeeper Sean Johnson are set for Saturday afternoon's U.S. friendly vs. South Korea at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.
For Johnson, January camp has become part of his preseason routine, while Magee's only been to one previous camp, way back in 2005. The 2013 MLS MVP spoke to ESPNFC's Doug McIntyre about his hopes of finally receiving his first U.S. cap at the age of 29 on Saturday and goal of making the U.S. team for this summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Catch the U.S. take on South Korea Saturday at 4:00pm CT on ESPN2, Watch ESPN and Unimas.
UPDATE: U.S. Soccer has announced Magee will not dress for today's friendly due to food poisoning. I don't even know what to say. We love you Mike, feel better.

"In the 1990s, world chess champion Gary Kasparov played two historic matches against IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer. He won the first match but lost the second by just a single point. As a graduate student at Stanford writing a thesis on artificial intelligence at that time, I was fascinated by the match. I'd been a computer hobbyist since the 1980s as well as a chess buff. Over the years I've tried practically every commercially available chess program on every platform, including Sargon, Socrates, Chessmaster, and others. I used TRS 80 and Apple II computers, and then IBM PCs running DOS, followed by Macintosh and Windows systems. Since that time I've wanted a chess computer as powerful as Deep Blue - my own world-champion-level sparring partner."

Vanderbilt beats Louisville 5-3 in its CWS opener
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Vanderbilt was happy to get runs any way it could against Louisville.
The Commodores scored their first one on a wild pitch and their last one on a passed ball in a 5-3 victory in the College World Series on Saturday night.
"Any momentum swing in this tournament is a big deal, and runs are tough to come by," Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin said. "We were fortunate in a lot of ways tonight."
The Commodores (46-19) won a grinding, 3-hour, 40-minute game to advance to a meeting with UC Irvine on Monday night. Louisville (50-16) will play Texas in an elimination game in the afternoon.
Dansby Swanson doubled in two runs, and Bryan Reynolds tripled in another and made a fabulous catch in left field to help the Commodores beat Louisville for the first time in four tries.
Carson Fulmer (7-1), who got the start instead of first-round draft pick Tyler Beede, worked six innings for the win. Adam Ravenelle retired seven of the last eight Louisville batters for his first save.
"He was very valuable tonight," Corbin said. "He had a good heartbeat for the game."
Louisville pitchers struggled against Vanderbilt's patient batters. Losing pitcher Kyle Funkhouser (13-3) went six innings and issued six of Louisville's nine walks, its third-most of the season. The four runs he allowed matched his career high.
"It's hard to win at the College World Series with a bad start," Funkhouser said, "and that's what that was tonight."
The Commodores' biggest run came on a passed ball after they saw their 4-0 lead shrink to 4-3 in the seventh. It looked like catcher Kyle Gibson was setting up for a pitch-out, but reliever Kyle McGrath pitched to the plate and Gibson let the ball get past him, allowing Vince Conde to score.
Sutton Whiting, who drove in Louisville's first run, said he the Cardinals must forget the loss quickly.
"It's over with, and we've got to bounce back," he said. "Come with a good practice tomorrow and get back to work and face a good team in Texas Monday."
Louisville, the only returning team from the 2013 CWS, swept the Commodores in super regionals last year and beat them again last month.
John Norwood scored the first of Vanderbilt's three runs in the second inning, coming home on Funkhouser's bases-loaded wild pitch. Swanson followed with his two-run double into the left-center gap.
"We've done a good job the last quarter of the season getting deep into the counts, more walks, less strikeouts, and we've hit the ball," Corbin said. "We've really hit the ball well the last three weeks. We hit it OK tonight, but we were facing a tough customer."
The Commodores led 4-0 against Funkhouser after Reynolds tripled in Swanson in the fourth. Reynolds had made the catch of the day to end the Louisville second when he went to the left-field wall to haul in a drive off the bat of Omaha native Grant Kay.
The Cardinals pulled to 4-2 in the fifth when Whiting hit an RBI triple and scored on a groundout, and it was a one-run game in the seventh after Zach Lucas narrowly beat Norwood's throw to the plate on Nick Solak's hit to center.
The Cardinals went 0-2 at last year's CWS, getting eliminated in an embarrassing 11-4 loss to Oregon State in which they committed four errors. They came to Omaha this week off five straight wins in the NCAA tournament.
Vanderbilt is at the CWS for the second time, and first since 2011.

Pirate Ships on the Treasure Map
The Google Maps team has released a special edition version of the April Fool's Day Treasure Map.
Weigh Anchor, Me Hearties uses the treasure map tiles but also includes animated pirate ships. Google say that their head of pirate security, has placed GPS trackers on all known pirate ships, which has enabled them to create this map showing the pirates' locations in real time.
If you want to create your own Pirate Map just use the Google Maps API and add "treasureMode: 'aye'" to your map options. You can look at the code in the map above if you need more help.

Nash County was formed in 1777 from the western part of Edgecombe County. It was named for American Revolutionary War Brigadier General Francis Nash (1742-1777) of Hillsborough, who had been mortally wounded at the Battle of Germantown that year while fighting under General George Washington. Nashville, the County seat, was settled in 1780 and chartered in 1815. After the Revolutionary War, the County settled down to a pace that made it one of the State's leading farm areas. Since the Civil War, it has been known primarily as a leading agricultural County, but it has experienced steady industrial growth since that time.

Trinity Catholic returns an experienced quarterback with lots of weapons on offense and a defense led by a pair of Division I talents. It's state title or bust for the Celtics.
COACH: John Brantley III, sixth year, 50-14
2012 RECORD: 8-4, lost in regional finals
RETURNING STARTERS: 5 offense, 5 defense
STAR WATCH: Quarterback Reid Carlton (6-3, 218) returns to anchor the offense as a three-year starter. He threw for nearly 1,600 yards and had 21 total touchdowns last season. Carlton missed the spring game after suffering a foot injury. On defense, senior cornerback Dominique Brown (6-0, 182) and sophomore pass rusher Jordan Woods (6-3, 245) have Division I offers in hand, while junior linebackers Marquis Hendrix (6-1, 215) and Ulysees Gilbert (6-2, 240) have been garnering recruiting looks too.
NEW FACES: Junior running back London Gaskin (5-10, 173) transferred in from Vanguard and is expected to get carries along with sophomore Johnny Taylor, who had a great spring for the Celtics. Senior tight end Max Linder (6-4, 230), a Middle Tennessee commit, attended Trinity as a freshman and sophomore but played at Forest last season.
QUOTABLE: "We're excited about this year. Just like every TC team, we have a chance. If things go our way and we can stay healthy, we have a chance to go deep into the playoffs and make a run at this thing." — Brantley.
BEST CASE: The well-balanced Celtics meet all expectations with a sturdy O-line led by tackle Nick Certain (6-4, 305), who will protect a talented group of skill players capable of putting up plenty of points, which will lead to a third state title.
WORST CASE: The playoffs seem like all but a certainty nowadays for the Celtics, who've been in the postseason every year since 2003. Poor preparation and costly mistakes in November and beyond seem to be the only thing standing in the way from a deep playoff run.
PREDICTION: With both 2012 state finalists moved out of Class 3A, Trinity will use its tough non-district schedule to prepare and be rolling on all cylinders for the playoffs. Trinity will play for a state championship this year.

Torture issues shows U.S. has lost moral compass
Re: "A father tortured, a son's damaged memories," Nov. 13 guest commentary.
Tim Flynn hit the nail right on the head. The really sad part of this whole debate is that we even have to debate torture. This country has totally lost its moral compass. Just the fact that we are debating this issue shows that. Just the fact that Attorney General Michael Mukasey had to sit there and weasel his way around terms and methods of torture shows that we have lost our ability to distinguish right from wrong anymore.

Clarkson University Baja SAE Team Competes in Tennessee
The Clarkson University Baja SAE team recently participated in the 2008 Baja SAE competition at Tennessee Technological University. The team is part of the University's SPEED (Student Projects for Engineering Experience and Design) program.
In the Baja SAE event, college teams design and build a prototype of a rugged, single seat, amphibious, off-road vehicle. The vehicle must be safe and able to negotiate rough terrain (including water) in all types of weather without damage.
Clarkson finished in 24th place overall out of 99 entries and received a fourth place finish in the competitive suspension/traction event. The team also finished eighth overall in engineering design, seventh in water maneuverability and 16th in acceleration and land maneuverability. If not for a faulty clutch component in the grueling endurance race, the team was looking at a possible top-ten finish.
Clarkson has entered a vehicle in this event since 1978 and celebrates it 30th year in 2008. The team will also compete in June at the Baja SAE Montreal race.

Keeping Our Heads Above Water
What can New York learn from other great cities battling rising tides and sinking land?
To set their city above the tide, the master builders of medieval Venice pounded millions of alder posts into the muck of their lagoon. In succeeding centuries, they kept its storied churches and palazzos dry with a discipline so unforgiving that breaking the water laws could cost a man his life.
Today, saltwater and sewage swamp Venice as often as a hundred times a year. On a recent weekend, gondoliers ducked to pass beneath the bridges across the city's storm-swollen canals. In cafes and bars, the regulars sipped their...
