Ervin's philosophy of manufacturing AMASTEEL & AMACAST is to produce the highest quality material so our customers achieve the lowest operating costs.
Development & Promotion of Advanced Metal Powders.
Ervin Industries brings atomizing technology to metal blasting materials for unmatched quality and accuracy. What began in 1920 is now an innovative company that is known worldwide as an industry leader in blast cleaning, shot peening, stone cutting, and other advanced metal powder processes. Over the decades, a keen eye on technology and a strong commitment to excellence have solidified Ervin Industries as the standard for metal particle performance.
Blasting materials began as a very low-tech endeavor, but today these powders and particles are engineered using the latest technological advancements and high-grade materials. Ervin technicians work diligently to create metal particle concepts that produce uniformity in a variety of blasting, peening, and cutting applications. Through advanced atomization technology, Ervin Industries produces superior blasting material with uniform microstructure and chemistry.
Ervin Industries products are applied in a wide variety of industries, and they are organized into three categories: blasting and surface preparation, peening, and cutting media. Media blasting is the heartbeat of Ervin Industries and the founding product of the company. We are uniquely qualified to provide the technology and application assistance needed to produce the precision and finish your company needs.
Peening, while similar to media blasting, requires particles of supreme uniformity. Our products provide exactly that, and peening applications allow our customers to fully take advantage of the benefits of our product performance advantages.
Stone cutting with Ervin Industries materials allows for a longer life of the saw blade and creates a more uniform cut. Our high-performance stone cutting products are used in large-scale granite or marble cutting, where long-lasting media and precision are imperative to the productivity of the operation.
From the uniformity that makes AMASTEEL stand out when compared to any other steel abrasive product on the market to the durable characteristics of AMACAST stainless steel abrasive, Ervin Industries products are built to rise above the competition. In fact, we have created the world standard for steel abrasive testing machines, which have become a fixture with our competitors.

I just started studying poetry in english, and noticed the similarities between Umineko and one of Dante's works, so I was wondering if anyone has any type of theory or anything of that sort relating to it? Sorry if this has already been discussed (probably has).

the only other references I can think of are:
"Purgatorio", which is the second book of the divine comedy and narrates Dante's travel through the purgatory. In the novel it appears at the end of EP1 when introducing the meta-world for the first time.
Then there is Virgilia that explains she takes that name because Virgil is the one that guides (Dante) toward Beatrice who is waiting at the summit of mount purgatory. This is the only clear reference to the divine comedy itself.

Well as I said in the other spoilers and speculations thread. I'm of the theory at this time that there is one big Eva/Rosa team up going on.
If what happened in episode 3 is true to every game, and Eva along with Rosa found the gold. Then it could be argued that they teamed up to kill everyone else to keep it for themselves.
If you look at the first 6 murders. One or the other is always missing. It could also be argued that the body of the other is a fake, and that Eva/Rosa is disguised during that time.
Rosa would be the one who draws the magic circles on the doors, and sets things up to look like the witch did it. This would explain Maria's attitude in claiming that a "witch" killed them. Especially during the murder in episode 1 where Maria stood against the wall singing. She would also know about Maria's lucky charms as well. In this way that's why Natsuhi wasn't targeted in the first game when she had it on her door.
As for Eva allowing George and Hideyoshi to be killed. Well why not? Eva-Beatrice seemed to show Eva's true thoughts on Hideyoshi. As much as she wants to claim that he's wonderful the fact is that she thinks he's a complete fool, but the main reason for her to kill her family is I believe the whole deal with Shannon. She knows about George's little relationship with her, and she loves to control people. Hideyoshi sided with George on the matter, and when the both confronted her she snapped and killed them.
As for why they end up dead anyways by the end of each game? Well is it really that strange that they would plan to backstab each other when everyone else is gone?
It may be just a red herring, but those two are definitely the most suspicious. They have motive and there's too much coincidental evidence pointing the both of them to the crime, and since Beatrice claims there has to be more than one person during most of the crimes. It makes sense if two people are in on it.

It doesn't make sense that the killer would let Natsuhi live over the matter of the bracelet. The killer would have to notice the bracelet before killing Natsuhi. If s/he had taken the bracelet off the doorknob and put it on the dresser, Jessica would have assumed that Natsuhi had simply accepted it to be nice and never even put it on the doorknob in the first place.
Besides, when else has the killer gone after a person who wasn't at least active?

All the information they need to make the magic circles and the letters exists in Kinzo's room which they have had years of access to. Only one servant needs to be involved though, that's all you need. It doesn't have to be a huge servant murder conspiracy. You just need one servant to be involved with someone to prepare the letters.

I already read the visual novel, so if you have any more information that you're holding back, please PM me, but thanks anyways. For now, I'm supposing that Genji gave Maria the letter.

I've found another reference to the divine comedy, I realized it just now:
In order to get to Beatrice you need to pass through the seven sins first. And the order of the sins (starting from the bottom) is exactly the same order of age from the eldest to the youngest of the seven sisters of the purgatory.

Soo, this is completely unrelated to what anyone is saying, but I've been thinking about the first round, or game, or completion of the epitaph, or whatever you wanna call it. I tried to find ways to deny the use of magic in the deaths~
Spoiler for Potential first few anime episodes spoiler:
Not the best, I might try and solve the other deaths in that round too~

Well, you have to think who was there and who wasn't there. The only people, however, that weren't accounted for were the dead, so its safe to assume that one of the first six deaths were fake.

Since the beginnings of the Survey in 1835, the gathering of geological material has been one of its more significant functions.
Over time, many important collections have evolved, including: Biostratigraphy and Palaeontology; Onshore and Offshore drillcore, borehole samples and associated specimens; Petrology and Mineralogy; Building Stones and Geochemistry.
These collections are now managed as a Project under the Information Management Programme, in a coherent, integrated and professional manner for the benefit of all BGS staff, industry, academia and the public.
The materials collections include the core, palaeontology and petrology collections.
We are seeking suitably qualified people for the Corporate Collections Advisory Committee.
As part of the move to Heriot Watt, parts of the NGR will be unavailable for short periods of time. Read more about NGR: temporary closures in Edinburgh
Most of the borehole logs held are from shallower depths and are deposited voluntarily by external parties engaged in site investigations.
Looking for a particular type of record? Information on Borehole records, site investigation reports, geological maps, mine plans and more can all be found here.
Visiting hours and links to online applications are found here.
Our collections are extensive and wide-ranging and cover most aspects of the geosciences. They underpin our maps, reports and many of our data sets, and are available for further study. Some samples may be available for loan. Sub-sampling of many boreholes is allowed, subject to certain conditions. Online databases provide easy access to information about samples.

Living TheGoodLife! With Sailor Jerry Rum at the Hideout during XGames
This year Sailor Jerry and the GoodLife! were back with their hideout at the X Games. While it was similar in some regards, it was WAY different in others. This year the house wasn't in a small condo, it was in a massive mansion. Shit, there was an elevator in the house. The rum was flowing, bones were happening on the regs, tattoos were happening thanks to legendary tattoo artists Oliver Peck, and people were getting trimmed up and looking nice thanks to Straight Edge Kevin and Frank's Chop Shop. On the last night, Sunday, The GoodLife also had a viewing party of their collaboration with Asymbol gallery. The Sailor Jerry GoodLife! hideout is one of the best kept secrets of the X Games. There's no list, no wristband, you just need to know where it is and you're in. We can't wait to hang out there again next year!

Thanks for this. Didn't realize an hour and a half passed by the time it concluded.
My soothing voice lulled you into a trance.
What did everyone think of this? Liked it / Didn't like it / Didn't notice?
Having not played the Dreamcast game, I can't say that I'm particularly attached to it, but it's nice to get some Berserk variety!
Will you be using the classic song of the podcast again? That one was nice too.
I particularly liked your guys idea that Farnese's future role could be that of a bridge between Guts and a restored Casca
as it would be a shame if Casca had absolutely no idea who Farnese and the rest of the group were if/when she is cured).
Though it would also have implications that the time flow ratio between Skellig and the outside world being pretty huge. I do wonder what the actual ratio will end up being (presumably we'll find out down the line) is on the scale of 1 year on Skellig equals 3-4 years outside, or perhaps 1 month for 1 year, or could it really be as huge as like 1 week for Skellig equals 1 year for the outside world?
it would be a shame if Casca had absolutely no idea who Farnese and the rest of the group were if/when she is cured
I think it's actually Aazealh's idea, which I've co-opted and keep bringing up as if it's my own. Something I'm guilty of doing a lot!
I know you mentioned this in a much earlier podcast Aazealh (I think it was around the episode 330 mark) but do you still believe the king of the flower storm might be connected to a large tree or plant in the village, something similar to Chich?
I strongly disagree. I don't think it would actually bring much to the table for her to remember all those embarrassing moments where Farnese spoonfed her or wiped her ass. Rather, meeting these people for the first time and vice versa (them meeting the real her), while they tell her in their words about their time together while she was out... That'd be so very interesting and a fantastic vehicle for character development across the board.
Thank you for the podcast, it was wonderful. Walter I enjoyed the background music with the Berserk video game melodies and thought it was very fitting. It gives the talk something a little extra and I think it's a perfect length. Are you, Aazealh and Griffith thinking about doing a short video game segment in the future? I also enjoyed those and like to hear all of your opinions, I know it's off topic of Berserk but I always found it interesting.
Hmmm, personally I think the scenario where Casca remembers her experiences from her nonlucid period has just as much potential for character development as the scenario where she doesn't remember her nonlucid experiences, just in a different manner.
Even in the former situation Casca and Farnese and co. would still be needing "meet" each other again, only for Casca her interactions would be colored/affected by what she remembered, which I think could be an equally interesting dynamic (like getting to know someone that you don't really know, but while also simultaneously "knowing" in a emotionally intimate way that they have been taking of you for the past year or two could be a very interesting mindset for Casca to have to deal with).
Also another reason why I personally don't want Casca to not remember her experiences from her nonlucid period is because that would indicate Casca also wouldn't remember the various wrongs Guts committed against her prior to gaining their new companions.
And while I do have faith in Miura as writer/storyteller in that he wouldn't avoid addressing those issues as part of Guts and Casca's reconciliation process, regardless of whether she remembers them or not, I would be kinda anxiousness of the latter scenario having the effect of unnecessarily lengthening that process
Like I said, I don't think it would bring much to the table.
I honestly don't see how that would make things more interesting compared to being told about it or having only partial memories/flashes of it. Those create many more opportunities for the characters to talk to each other and for new, different relationships to be born.
"Various wrongs" meaning two occurrences, including one for which Guts wasn't responsible because he became possessed by shielding her from spectres.
Like I told you in the other thread where you mentioned this, I don't think that single occurrence in volume 23 where Guts loses it and assaults her holds so strong a significance that the entire process of curing her should hinge upon it. It's one element out of the general situation between them, and its importance relative to everything else is not as big as you're making it out to be. It has to be opposed to everything else he did for her (which is quite a lot), but also should be put next to his abandonment of her for two years and his mistreatment of their son in the early years. In the end I believe the whole picture will matter more than the individual details, especially since a restored Casca should presumably be more likely to forgive his lapse in judgment if she knows everything. Keep in mind that this single event has had very long-lasting repercussions already, by canceling whatever goodwill Guts had earned in rescuing her and returning him to the status quo of Casca's inherent fear of males since the Eclipse. But it was dependent on Casca not being able to see the bigger picture, as was last highlighted by Farnese in episode 331. Once she can finally see it, to stay stuck on this specific event over everything else would feel like a lack of character development.
Sounds to me like you don't actually have much faith in Miura here.
As I said already, I think Casca will still need to be told and informed of things regardless of of whether her nonlucid experiences are remembered or not (as I don't think they would be remembered in a normal manner, she would likely need to put in work to process and understand them sufficiently).
I think the emotional mindset that Casca would/could have if she retained her memories can create just as many opportunities for characters to interact with each other and modify/build new relationships, only just in a different manner than your scenario would have.
I am not sure if I am misunderstanding you, but Guts was only possessed by spectres when he physically assaulted Casca, he wasn't possessed by spectres when he sexually assaulted Casca (now one could argue he was "possessed" by The Beast of Darkness, but even then the beast is something that originates from Guts).
I don't think the incident in Volume 23 should hold so much significance that the entire process of curing her should hinge upon it. And I agree it should be put next to his abandonment of her for two years and his mistreatment of their son in the early years (I wouldn't want Casca to not remember those issues/incidents either). And I agree Guts' wrongs should contrasted/weighed with all the good things he has done as well, but that doesn't mean that they should just cancel each other out. I just think Casca remembering the wrongs and the rights Guts did for/against her would be more interesting than her having to rely/react only on what is told to her.
Jeez, that's kind of presumptuous of you. I can have faith in Miura's storytelling ability without it being a blind faith. Having anxiety/being prepared to critique a writer's future potential narrative choices doesn't invalidate the faith one can simultaneously hold at the same time.
By definition remembering an existing relationship with someone doesn't create much of an opportunity for a new relationship to be born with the same person. But obviously, there will be potential for character development either way.
You are indeed misunderstanding the sentence.
Well I mentioned that because your post did not make it clear at all. In any case, there will be more going on with their relationship than just those elements. They will merely provide a backdrop for their future relationship, rather than take it up entirely.
Quote from: Aazealh on December 03, 2015, 08:42:39 PMIt isn't presumptuous at all. That's exactly what it sounds like, and is in fact exactly what you just said in the other thread where we're having the exact same discussion. Your statement about having faith in someone while doubting their future choices is completely contradictory.Quote from: Walter on December 03, 2015, 08:44:13 PMJust to be perfectly clear, so I can try to understand this statement: You have faith in Miura's ability to tell his story properly, but you're worried he might not tell his story properly?Am I getting that wrong? That's what it sounds like, and it's quite confusing.

That's why I said "modify" as well a "build new" relationships. And even with Casca remembering Farnese, her relationship with her would still be dramatically changed and/or have new elements brought into it due to her restoration. New things can be created even if they are based on preexisting elements.
I am sorry that I did not make that clear. I agree that there will be more going on with their relationship than just those elements, but even as backdrop they're still pretty important issues that's all I am saying.
I am saying that I do believe Miura will tell his story well/properly (I'm like 98% confident that he will), but It think one can hold that belief while still acknowledging the possibility that he isn't infallible as storyteller (the 2% anxiety). I don't think I need to believe that Miura will always do right 100% of the time in order to claim a general faith in his abilities.
Sure, but what I meant is that from a purely theoretical standpoint there cannot be as many opportunities that way, since it provides a base of reference that will necessarily inform whatever character development occurs.
Well, again, that really goes without saying. It would be preposterous for everything that happened while she was damaged to be unaddressed. It might even be part of the healing process itself.
Sure you're right that from a theoretical mathematical standpoint there are less opportunities when there is a emotional base of reference that would inform future development. But even if there are technically less opportunities on the whole quantitatively, I personally find the potential quality of the opportunities that involve Casca retaining her post-Eclipse memories to be personally more narratively interesting/appealing.
Well, maybe it's obvious that it goes without saying for you; in fact I think a lot of things that going without saying for you aren't as obvious to me (which I suppose makes sense, I've only been following the series for less than two years while you've been following it for more than a decade (I assume)).

austinwriter needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 13 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Looking for a unique, eye-catching logo to be used as a header for my new blog on balance, health, and happiness.
I blog professionally for a major personal finance website as my day job, but I have launched my own personal blog, which focuses on health, happiness, and balance. It's very new and I'm not very web-savvy, so right now I'm using a generic free Wordpress template. I want a more original look so I need a new logo to be designed for my site, which I will use as my header.
- Because the topic of the blog is finding balance, I like the idea of incorporating a balance or scale in the logo (like the scale of justice).
- It will say "Finding Equilibrium" as the title, and the subhead will
say "The quest for balance, health, and happiness."
- I need the logo in vector format (like that produced by
Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator)
- I do not have a preference for a color scheme -- but no rainbows

DisplayLink devices on Linux still only have experimental support. While some people have had success in using them, it is generally not an easy process and not guaranteed to work. The steps on this page describe the generally most successful methods of using external monitors with DisplayLink.
Install the xf86-video-fbdev package, which provides framebuffer video for X.org.
Hardware-level support is provided by the kernel module
udlfb, which should be loadable by default in Arch.
A rewrite of the
udlfb module is underway. It is being replaced by
udl and integrated into the kernel's drm infrastructure. The new drivers are part of the stock Arch kernel and found in
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl.
These new drivers may be added with
modprobe udl if you would like to try them out. The old drivers generally have a better success rate, but this is likely to change sometime soon.
It seems that blacklisting
udlfb and installing xf86-video-modesetting is now enough. After that, run
# xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2 Provider 0: id: 0x49 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 8 associated providers: 0 name:Intel Provider 1: id: 0x13c cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
To connect provider 1 to provider 0:
# xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
and xrandr will add a DVI output you can use as normal with xrandr. This is still experimental.
These instructions assume that you already have an up and running X server and are simply adding a monitor to your existing setup.
Load the framebuffer device
Before your system will recognize your DisplayLink device, the
udlfb kernel module must be loaded. To do this, run
# modprobe udlfb
If your DisplayLink device is connected, it should show some visual indication of this. Although a green screen is the standard indicator of this, other variations have been spotted and are perfectly normal. Most importantly, the output of
dmesg should show something like the following, indicating a new DisplayLink device was found:
usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci udlfb: DisplayLink Lenovo LT1421 wide - serial #6V9BBRM1 udlfb: vid_17e9&pid_03e0&rev_0108 driver's dlfb_data struct at ffff880231e54800 udlfb: console enable=1 udlfb: fb_defio enable=1 udlfb: shadow enable=1 udlfb: vendor descriptor length:17 data:17 5f 01 0015 05 00 01 03 00 04 udlfb: DL chip limited to 1500000 pixel modes udlfb: allocated 4 65024 byte urbs udlfb: 1366x768 @ 60 Hz valid mode udlfb: Reallocating framebuffer. Addresses will change! udlfb: 1366x768 @ 60 Hz valid mode udlfb: set_par mode 1366x768 udlfb: DisplayLink USB device /dev/fb1 attached. 1366x768 resolution. Using 4104K framebuffer memory
/dev should contain a new
fb device, likely
/dev/fb1 if you already had a framebuffer for your primary display.
To automatically load
udlfb at boot, create the file
udlfb.conf in
/etc/modules-load.d/ with the following contents:
For more information on loading kernel modules, see Kernel modules#Loading.
Configuring X Server
There are two primary ways people use DisplayLink devices with X on desktop Linux computers:
- Xinerama with a single X server
- Two separate X servers, linked together in some way
While Xinerama is probably the more desirable setup, it is also less likely to work. Both methods are described below.
Xinerama setup
You must update or create an xorg.conf with a properly configured
ServerLayout to use a DisplayLink monitor, as Xorg will prefer internal monitors by default. The DisplayLink device is normally only usable if it is set as
screen0 and the internal display as
Add this to the bottom of your
################ DisplayLink ################### Section "Device" Identifier "DisplayLinkDevice" Driver "fbdev" BusID "USB" # needed to use multiple DisplayLink devices Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0" # change to whatever device you want to use # Option "rotate" "CCW" # uncomment for rotation EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "DisplayLinkMonitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "DisplayLinkScreen" Device "DisplayLinkDevice" Monitor "DisplayLinkMonitor" DefaultDepth 16 EndSection
Then edit your server layout to look something like this
Screen 0 "DisplayLinkScreen" Screen 1 "Internal" RightOf "DisplayLinkScreen" Option "Xinerama" "on"
Change Internal to your main display, then restart X.
Dual X setup
This section is a work in progress. For now, please refer to the steps covered in the Gentoo Wiki for details on this setup.
X crashes or keeps blank
If X crashes, or nothing is shown at load, try to start X only using the external display by updating
xorg.conf as follows:
Screen 0 "DisplayLinkScreen" #Screen 1 "Internal" RightOf "DisplayLinkScreen" #Option "Xinerama" "on"
There are reported instances in which Xinerama requires all its
Screen color depths to be the same. In both
Screen sections, try changing the
DefaultDepth to 16.
Section "Screen" ... DefaultDepth 16 ... EndSection
DefaultDepth 24. However, USB 2.0 has less bandwidth than a standard monitor, so a performance update may be seen from setting it to 16 bit mode.
Cannot start in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices
With two monitors configured in Xinerama mode,
/var/log/Xorg.0.log will sometimes display the following error:
Fatal server error: Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices
As indicated by this Gentoo Forums thread, KMS might be incompatible with fbdev. They also suggested the possible fix of running
startx -- -retro which will allow X to run even when, to X itself, it doesn't appear to be working.

It is 410 off from my vin. Wish it was mine.
This car still exists and is still registered in some state. I ran the VIN through NMVTIS and can see that it still exists. Run the VIN through http://www.add123.com/ and pay $4.95 and you can know the state it is registered in. With this you can see if you can track down the current owner.I didn't pay the $4.95 to find out the state, but it is good to know that the car exists.
I have it on eBay.

The undeniable inconsistency in the wake of Saturday's controversial disqualification in the final leg of the Rainbow 6 Jackpot that denied a single winner $1.6 million, thereby extending the carryover, created a firestorm of bad will.
Thursday's non-disqualification for virtually the same offense has members of the Horseplayers Association of North America calling for a boycott of Gulfstream's races until the stewards are either suspended or fired.
The HANA boycott of Santa Anita's races in 2011 following an unconscionable rise in the rate of parimutuel takeout was extremely effective as horseplayers spoke with one voice for the first time ever.
According to Blood Horse's figures compiled at meet's end, gross handle, with eight fewer racing days, declined by nearly 21 percent. The largest declines were off-track; the California ADWs down by more than 20 percent while out-of-state simulcasts were off 23 percent. Total daily average handle declined from $7.5 million to $6.6 million year over year.
While this is a different issue, it's clear that horseplayers are extremely frustrated and are prepared to take action on what is perceived as a national epidemic of inconsistent rulings. The rules of racing are virtually the same all over but the manner of interpretation varies, sometimes widely, and therein lays a problem.
Reasonable horseplayers can accept, albeit grudgingly, different styles when it comes to adjudicating fouls, like knowledge of umpires having a wider strike zone or fouls that are not called in the final minute of a tied basketball game.
In racing, some judges are strict constructionists, on the lookout for lane violations—a foul is a foul is a foul. At other venues, the practice is to allow trained eyes to make judgment calls after close inspection of video replays to determine whether an incident cost a rival a placing.
In both cases, the emphasis is on what happens as horses battle down the stretch toward the finish for the pot of gold that awaits owners, trainers, jockeys and, yes, horseplayers, without whom there would be no one to support the industry.
Money makes the mare go, as old school racetrackers say. But bettors know it's their money that enables parimutuel horse racing and now are demanding, and getting, however grudgingly, a seat at the table.
As an observer of the betting public and a public handicapper for four decades, I can testify that I never have seen this much outrage which today is only heightened by the presence of Internet gadflies and social media.
All events are now in real time and the absence of acceptable standards of communication and behavior often has resulted in a lack of objectivity, responsibility and accountability. In the Gulfstream case, civility and reason has taken a hit within the horse racing community of which we are all members.
After having viewed all replays of Saturday's final race at Gulfstream from vantage points not available to the public, including rear tower shots and slow motion, my original opinion that the disqualification of Collinito was the right call was confirmed.
Parenthetically, the public should have online access to all available angles.
I had no dog in Saturday's fight but I did Thursday, having selected and made a small wager on 7-1 winner Hard Enough. Once again, all things being equal, I would have allowed the result to stand and here's why:
While Paco Lopez brought his mount out 3 paths under left-hand whipping and bumped with Cummings Road near the finish, it was difficult to discern from the video whether the incident occurred at or just after the dueling horses crossed the finish line noses apart.
Further, third finisher Burn the Mortgage was angled out by Javier Castellano looking to rally while splitting rivals. There was not enough room and Castellano was forced to steady his mount, essentially contributing to his own problems.
As for Cummings Road, he had every chance to win. In fact, from the pan view it appeared that he gained a very slight lead in deep stretch but was out-gamed at the wire.
If I was certain that the bump occurred at the finish line, I would have disqualified Hard Enough. But if the incident occurred at the wire after the race was over, I would have allowed the result to stand.
Not being sure of when that or any other incident occurs, I invoke the Any-Given-Sunday rule that the evidence was inconclusive and would have allowed the result to stand in that case. To me, this was a judgment call to end all judgment calls.
However, this is not the point, and all things were not equal. In Thursday's bang-bang incident, the Gulfstream stewards, in the name of consistency, and with all the attendant publicity given Collinito, Hard Enough should have been disqualified.
All horseplayers really want is consistency and transparency. Because of their inconsistency, the Gulfstream stewards as a group might have done irreparable harm to the track's stature and the credibility of its management.
The three stewards should have stepped up on Sunday, held a press preference to explain the process and take responsibility for their actions. Stewards are not above acting in the best interests of the racing public.
Kentucky Chief Steward John Veitch was suspended and fired because of a lapse in judgment four years ago. I thought the Gulfstream stewards got the decision right both times and, while contradictory, it would have been better for all concerned had they been consistent on two close calls.
Absent that, they needed to step up instead of allowing the chips to fall.
GULFSTREAM TO BECOME MORE TRANSPARENT: Gulfstream Park announced today it will begin instituting changes to provide bettors more information and greater transparency whenever there is a disqualification or objection on any of its races.
"We truly believe the bettor deserves a detailed explanation as to why a horse has been disqualified," said Gulfstream President Tim Ritvo. "The bettor is not only the economic engine that drives this sport but he and she is also the biggest fan of the sport. We need to continue to find ways to improve the integrity and transparency.
"We have not done a good job explaining why our stewards have disqualified a horse and we're going to change that. We have a few changes we will implement immediately and are studying a number of ideas, including a camera and microphone in the stewards' booth.
"Obviously there's never going to be a 100 percent consensus whether a horse should or should not be taken down. We want stewards to be consistent but we also want them to treat each race individually because every scenario is different. We want them to be quick but some decisions take longer. We feel we can provide our bettors more information that's more timely.
Track announcer Larry Collmus will provide a detailed explanation for any ruling while a replay of the infraction is highlighted and played from pan and head-on angles. A statement by the stewards will be posted on Gulfstream Park's website under disqualifications in a timely fashion.
"There will be things we add and maybe a few we subtract, but our decisions will be based on what is best for our bettors. If these changes work at Gulfstream, we will roll them out across all Stronach Group tracks."

Resolution of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers
Cleveland, OH
April 28, 2012
WHEREAS, recent investigations have concluded that a number of criminal defendants were convicted, in part, based on flawed forensic analysis,
WHEREAS, at times, the agency discovering the use of flawed scientific evidence failed to appropriately disclose the use of the flawed evidence,
WHEREAS, in any situation in which flawed scientific evidence is discovered, the flaw must be promptly disclosed to the defendant and the defense attorney and the firm or entity who represented the defendant,
WHEREAS, there are several models for the comprehensive review and disclosure of potentially flawed forensic evidence, including the ongoing review of cases involving composite bullet lead analysis testimony,
NACDL calls upon the federal government to conduct a comprehensive review of cases in which potentially flawed forensic evidence was utilized, including but not limited to those in which microscopic or visual hair comparison evidence was admitted, and to make immediate and full disclosure of the use of such evidence to the prosecution, defendant, and defense counsel in each case,
And further, in cases in which flawed evidence was utilized, NACDL calls upon the prosecuting authority in each case to conduct DNA analysis, where feasible, and report the results of that testing to the defendant and defense counsel, and
To this end, NACDL and its members resolve to assist this process and to ensure adequate representation wherever necessary.

The Dodgers fell 5-4 last night, with Andre Ethier (0-for-5, 8 LOB) going down as the main culprit. Randy Wolf vs. Livan Hernandez tonight at 4:10, but first, let's recap some of the day's blue-related news.
A year ago today: Derek Lowe took a perfect game into the seventh inning before giving up a single, and eventually, a solo home run but still earning the 2-1 victory over Atlanta. The Dodgers' record entering play that day? 44-46.
Ronald Belisario is okay, relatively. Dr. Neil ElAttrache found no structural damage in the 26-year-old's right elbow in a Wednesday MRI, but the rookie reliever has been placed on the DL in what appears to be primarily a precautionary measure. Belisario missed the entire 2005 and 2006 seasons due to Tommy John surgery.
There are less than 10 hours left to vote for Matt Kemp in MLB's Final Vote 2009 campaign.
Lastly: yes, Daniel Murphy really did make that play last night.

Stars in Stereo Guitarist Jordan McGraw Reveals New Album Title, Release Plans
Whether you've seen Stars in Stereo on tour with Bullet for My Valentine, Halestorm, P.O.D. or Flyleaf, it's likely that the band has come through your town at least once. This California rock outfit has toured from coast to coast on their first record and now they are gearing up for the release of their follow up disc. We recently had the chance to speak with guitarist Jordan McGraw who revealed the title of their new album, the aptly monikered 'Leave Your Mark.'
In addition to revealing the album title, McGraw also spoke about the 'Leave Your Mark' recording sessions, the significance of the title and their upcoming trek with You Me At Six. He also dished on why purple Gatorade and Jack Daniels are so important on the road and much more. Check out our interview with Jordan McGraw of Stars in Stereo below:
How has progress on the new material been going?
We just finished recording like a week ago and we're on to mixing now. It sounds awesome, it's exactly what we wanted to do so we're happy with it.
How did you want your sound to evolve on this record?
Well we sat down and talked about it. The one thing we noticed between the last album and where we are now is a lot of people would come up to us on the road and say, "Your album was awesome but you guys are so much better live." It's a compliment for sure but we'd like people to say, "Your album sounds awesome and you guys pull it off." We want for them to be equal. We really wanted to capture the energy we put on live and keep some of that raw element that comes through in our live performance. It's a little heavier and more live sounding I guess.
You mentioned that you guys finished recording. How was the process for you?
It was awesome, every song came together really quick. We don't write a hundred songs and then pick ten. We decide early on in the songwriting process if we're going to continue with a song or not. So we wrote about 15 songs, completely finished them and then picked 12 from there.
What's the name of the new record? What does this title mean to you personally?
It is called 'Leave Your Mark.' The first single is called 'Leave Your Mark,' but we picked the title for different reasons. We wanted to make an album that reflected how we are live, how we play and the energy that the music gives us and we literally wanted to leave our mark with this new sound and with this new album. We wanted to instill this idea in our fans and new fans to come. We wanted to just say, "No matter what it is when you leave this world you want to have something of yourself that remains, something that you're proud of and that is important." That's what we're trying to do with this album, to start a whole new chapter and continue the growth of this band.
The title track, 'Leave Your Mark,' will be the new single. Can you talk about where it comes from?
I'm not exactly sure when we're going to put out the new single but it's a song we got to play live. We wrote it probably six months ago and we've played it live over the last two tours so people have heard it. It's a song that's kind of freeing, I won't give away too much but it's a song about being open about who you are and being liberated in that way. There's another theme to it that I'll leave out there until it comes out.
When can we expect the album to be released?
It will come out this summer for sure, early summer. We're ready to put it out, we're not wasting any time.
What about who you guys are as artists and people today can we hear on the new album?
Oh man, I think what we all did going into this was challenge ourselves and do things that we hadn't really done yet. I think the new music really reflects that because we all spent twice as long getting out parts right on this album and making sure we were putting the right thing, not just what fit. I think you can hear that attention to detail to the music and how connected to these songs we are. They're not just random rock songs that we threw together that had catchy hooks or whatever. As cheesy as it sounds, the songs are little pieces of us, it's something that we really put a lot of time into and our heart and soul into.
You guys toured like crazy on the last record and you're gearing up to go out with You Me At Six. What are you looking forward to most about this experience?
I have some friends who have toured with them and they said that they're absolutely amazing people. We always try and make friends with who we're on tour with and watch them every night and try and learn from them. I'm excited about that, I like their music and I've heard good things about them. Who wouldn't be excited?
You've toured with numerous bands, everyone from Bullet to My Valentine and Halestorm to P.O.D. and Flyleaf. What is one band you'd love to tour with that you haven't hit the road with yet?
Oh wow, like a dream band to tour with? It'd probably be Foo Fighters or Thirty Seconds to Mars, I would love to do that.
Stars In Stereo are truly road dogs at heart, so with all of this touring coming up what is one thing you must have on tour with you. No electronics.
For me, it's either purple Gatorade or Jack Daniels. Not together, I have put them together and it's disgusting so don't try it. I need Jack Daniels at night and purple Gatorade when I wake up.

CIRCUS BY SAM EDELMAN Flynn Shell Yeah Slide Sandal O72vSMy
The program had a new head basketball coach for the first time in twenty seven seasons. Former Orange captain Marc Guley took over for the legendary Lew Andreas , who was retiring from coaching to focus full time on his athletic director responsibilities. The team started the season out with a bang with a 101-39 victory over the University of Toronto. The team was 7-2 and feeling very confident about itself, including a 100-22 victory over Queens College.
The team was led by captain
Jack Kiley
, who would score 400+ points again, and by

at the center position. They would make a formidable one-two scoring punch. Dick Suprunowicz helped the team push the ball up the court, and was the primary defensive stopper. Tom Jockle ran the point position, and Tom Huggins provided strong rebounding and defense under the boards. The team possessed a good mix of experience and talent. The bench was deep though not very talented, with the exception of 6'5" sophomore Frank Reddout who had a ton of talent, but little experience.
At the end of December the team hit a rough stretch as the competition stiffened, and some injuries hit the team. Kiley would miss a game with an eye infection, and Jockle would miss six games after turning his ankle in the Queens University game. They would lose 6 of their 8 next games, including to Bradley, whom they would meet again later in the season, and Kentucky, the eventual National Champion. The team was learning to play close games though, losing four of those games by 4 or less points. They also started a trend of falling behind in games, and coming from behind to pull off the victory.
After the loss to Niagara, the team put together an impressive string, closing out their regular season with seven straight victories before a season ending loss to Colgate. That loss likely cost the Orangemen a bid to the NCAA and NIT tournaments. However, a new national tournament was started in 1951, the National Campus Tournament, to be played at Bradley, and the Orangemen were invited.
They broke their trend and had relatively easy times beating Toledo and Utah to advance to the tournament championship , where they were to meet Bradley. The Orangemen would face Bradley without one of their starters, as Huggins had his own wedding to attend (he had planned it months in advance with no knowledge of postseason activity).
Typical of their season, the Orangemen fell behind 18-0 to Bradley. The odds seemed insurmountable, yet the team rallied behind Kiley and Miller to eventually take the lead 66-65 on a long shot by Kiley. The Orangemen would get the lead up to 75-68, and then hold on to win the game, and the championship by one point, 76-75.

April 28, 1898
Dear Clara,
How do you feel since the entertainment. I am a little sick but not much. It rained some here yesterday. I happened to be at the train and soon all of the school folks came in. They all looked happy and gay. I went down town yesterday eve and a young man proposed that he would treat to a milk shake if I would resign my claim down your way & I took him up in great shape as I came to the conclusion that I didn't stand much show any way when it came to reality. Rumors have begun to spread considerably. Some folks have found out that I really like you a great deal & I have heard lately that you try to flirt with every boy who comes your way & lay plans to meet them at different places. Now this doesn't seem to me the thing to do. Though I have confidence enough in you to allow you anything that you wish to do.
Cicero Louis Guice graduated from the University of Louisville Medical School in 1888 and he had recently arrived in town as the "new" Dr. Guice. Coincidentally, the old doctor that he would practice alongside was also Dr. Guice, but there was no relation between them — at least not any of which they knew.
In the letter I don't think he was serious when he accused Clara of being a flirt, but he really did want to make sure she knew that he liked her. He was thirty-six and had not yet been married. She was twenty-three.
On the same day that he wrote the letter above, he wrote another letter to her about a more serious matter:
I am very sad to day on one account. I have enlisted in the 4th Louisiana Regiment to go out and serve my and your country, which act I know you will applaud, and have no idea when I shall return. I believe you love me some, but I hardly think I have your whole heart in my keeping. Which is a very sad thought to me. The sound of war is ringing through our beautiful land, and when the Bugle calls to arms, I am ready to take my part of the National honor and hold up for free men free institutions and liberty in general to all mankind.
I shall await your sweet reply, and march through the sunny land of the far south with your last farewell folded next my heart. I feel that you will soon forget me. I am as ever yours hoping and waiting for your immediate reply. Cicero
The Spanish-American War had interrupted this budding romance, at least for the foreseeable future. Tensions had been building between the two countries for quite some time and finally war was declared on April 25, 1898. The declaration was pronounced after the sinking of the Battleship Maine off the coast of Cuba in February of that year. The war ended within the year with the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898.
I have not found official records showing that Cicero actually served in the war, but he was gone for a while as noted in this letter:
Winnsboro, La.
July 1898
Dear Clara,
I suppose you know that I have been gone for near a month, hence no reply to your highly appreciated letter.
Dr. Guice got my letter of the 12th and put it away and to day Kate accidentally found it where her father had put it away. He also went away while I was gone and has not returned yet. Yes I am sick and have been for a long time went to Natchez, Monroe, and Ruston was sick the whole time and feeling better now. My Clara, I am not mad with you and it has only been accidental I did not answer you last and get this and Now that I'm at home & probably can travel will come to see my pet soon. Go on to school & be a sweet girl and let me hear from you soon. I will tell you all about my trip when I see you again. I am so nervous & weak I can scarcely write so you see I presumed and will wait to hear more reports & find out what the people want or some of them any way. Now I shall talk like you did to me. You must be very certain about liking me & don't make any mistake. I thought if we loved each other the thing to do would be to marry sometime soon, but you do act funny to me some way. I will come down some time in the near future. We have been having a nice time bike riding these moon light nights. I see Willie Frazier has new wheels, seems to be a very nice one. I think Katie, Effie, Landis and myself will go to Ruston to the Chautauqua* in July.
Regards to family, C.L. Guice
In the following year, Cicero and Clara would marry and he would continue as the doctor in Winnsboro for many years. Anecdotes of his life as the local doctor are recorded in the diary of Alanson Wood Moore – a local politician and recorder of town history. Some of these stories will be related in future posts on this blog.
Cicero Louis Guice and Clara Bryan are my great-grandparents. He is the son of Elbert Hampton Guice and Angeline Jones whose story is told in the post, "A Pile of Cotton and a Lighted Pine Knot." Seated between his parents in the photo to the right is my grandfather C.L. Guice, who is written about in the post, "Poor boy, he had just got ready to live…". Clara's brother is "Joe," in the posts entitled, "1941."

Hey guys,
I'm a kiter from Ireland over working in San Francisco for the summer and I'm just wondering if Windguru is accurate for Waddell or if it is normally a few knots stronger than forecasted?
For instance, I want to travel down from Foster City to go kiting tomorrow at Waddell so if anyone could tell me if it will be windy that would be great? Windguru is showing 11-13 knts in the afternoon which wouldnt really be worth the trip.
Thanks in advance for any help, if anyone wants a lift down to Waddell etc let me know. I'd love to get to know some Bay Area Kiters.

Pharrell Rocks a SpongeBob Onesie at the 2014 Kids' Choice Awards [PHOTOS]
We were all expecting Pharrell to walk the 2014 Kids' Choice Awards orange carpet in another one of his famous ten-gallon hats, and he didn't disappoint, rocking a jade green version that he paired with a white tracksuit emblazoned with the name of his new album, 'GIRL.' But what we didn't expect, however, was the bright yellow SpongeBob Squarepants onesie he donned while presenting one of the show's first awards with Kaley Cuoco.
But hey, if anyone could pull off the SpongeBob PJs look it's the 'Happy' singer, who showed off the happy-go-lucky cartoon character on both the front and back of the funny onesie. Check out snaps of both of Pharrell's outfits below!

Makenna and Brock Duet to Zac Brown Band's 'Colder Weather' on 'X Factor'
Tonight on 'X Factor,' Simon Cowell's newest singing competition reality series, two country hopefuls performed onstage together. Makenna and Brock sang in perfect harmony to Zac Brown Band's 'Colder Weather' as they took the 'X Factor' stage at the audition rounds in Chicago.
Although Makenna and Brock look they could be a perfect match for each other romantically, they assured the judges they were not dating, even though it seems like Brock might be into the idea. The duo sang pitch-perfectly to Zac Brown Band's No. 1 country hit 'Colder Weather,' and the judges and audience absolutely loved their beautiful and moving duet.
Judge L.A. Reid, a legend in the music industry, swayed along during Makenna and Brock's performance and later told the duo, "You just made my day. I really enjoyed it." British singer and fellow judge Cheryl Cole said their "vocals were so controlled" and their "harmonies were spot on." Simon Cowell admitted that he's "not normally a fan of this kind of stuff," but followed this comment by saying, "I have to say your voice is sensational."
Expect to see a lot more from Makenna and Brock in the upcoming episodes on FOX's 'X Factor.' They are up to win the grand prize of a $5 million recording contract with Sony!

There are many "Most Haunted" cemeteries in America. As the eternal home of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans claims to be the most haunted cemetery. Another location that claims this title is Resurrection Cemetery in Chicago, allegedly haunted by the hitchhiking ghost of Resurrection Mary.
Silver Cliff Cemetery is a lesser-known most haunted cemetery. For over 40 years people have reported seeing "dancing lights" that appear between the tombstones in the burial ground at night. Silver Cliff is a three-hour drive south of Denver. The tiny town is nestled in the Wet Mountain Valley of Colorado, with a backdrop of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. During its days as a mining town Silver Cliff had a population ranging from 5,000 to 16,000 people. Today, less than 600 people live there, but the town draws a large number of visitors in search of the lights. Once it was an attraction for its silver deposits, now it is an attraction for its silvery lights.
The mysterious lights are alternatively known as "dancing lights", "ghost lights" or "spook lights". There are varying descriptions of them. They are usually blue in color, but occasionally silver or white. Some say the lights are round and silver dollar sized, others report a kind of glow. The lights appear to "float", "fly", "dance" or "dart" around the cemetery and even bounce around the headstones. Sometimes there are just a few lights, while at other times they appear across the cemetery, but they always disappear when you try to get a closer look. The best conditions to witness the activity are dark, overcast nights, with no moon visible.
The discovery of the lights is relegated to folklore. One story tells that drunken partygoers first saw them in the 1920s, while another says nineteenth century miners crossing the cemetery at night witnessed them. Some theorize that the lights must have a natural explanation, while others prefer a paranormal one, claiming that the lights are will-o'-the-wisps, fairies, or ghosts. There are stories that the lights are manifestations of murder victims related to a mining scam; that it is the ghost of a little girl who is buried there, or they are the restless souls of the old miners who died in the town.
Most references on the web claim that scientists who reportedly couldn't explain the phenomenon have examined the site, but there is no evidence of any scientific studies performed on the land. These sources also state that the lights have been "investigated" or "featured" by National Geographic. Indeed, the story does appear in the magazine in an article by Edward Lineham. In fact, this is the first documented sighting of the lights. However, these people clearly haven't read it. This is a travel article about Colorado, not an investigation. The phenomenon is merely mentioned in a few paragraphs at the end of the 42-page article.
Here is Lineham's description of the lights.
We climbed out beside the old burying ground and for long minutes I strained to see something, anything. Slowly, vague outlines of grave markers emerged, in ragged rows. "There." Bill's voice was quiet, almost a whisper. "And over there!" I saw them too. Dim, round spots of blue-white light glowed ethereally among the graves. I found another, and stepped forward for a better look. They vanished.
He attempted to catch the source of the lights, "I aimed my flashlight at one eerie glow and switched it on. It revealed only a tombstone." The author was actually skeptical about the incident, remarking that, "No doubt someone, someday, will prove there's nothing at all supernatural in the luminous manifestations of Silver Cliff's cemetery."
The article put the former silver boomtown back on the map. For decades, adventure seekers and ghost hunters have traveled to the tiny town to catch a glimpse of the lights. The phenomenon has taken on a life of its own, and modern reports barely resemble the original claim. Instead of the "dim glow" seen by Lineham, contemporary visitors mention bright, twinkling lights of various colors. Patty Quinn reported her personal experience to the pro-paranormal website Legends of America.
Around 9:00, the first lights were seen. They were small, most about the size of a pinky finger nail. They ranged in color from blue to green to white to yellow, and various combinations of these colors. As time went on, the lights became more numerous, larger, and more active. Some seemed to be extremely active, darting from headstone to headstone, never stopping. Others seemed to float in a "lazy fashion," landing in the grass, on headstones, just wherever.
I recently took a trip to Silver Cliff to see the cemetery for myself. I spoke with people around town and while everyone had heard that the cemetery was "haunted", no one had experienced the phenomenon firsthand. Just off Mill Road from the State Highway 96, a tall iron arch welcomes you to Silver Cliff Cemetery. A hand-painted wooden sign once read, "Founded in 1878, Famous for Ghost Lights Reported in National Geographic". The sign has since been stolen. It is a small burial ground and there is only a sparse smattering of tombstones. The cemetery is only 40% populated, and you can purchase a cheap plot for a mere $100. Beyond the boundaries of the cemetery you can see a tall white cross in the distance. This is "The Assumption", a second burial ground for Catholics (although Wikipedia and ghost hunting websites will tell you it's for Protestant burials only). The premises are well-maintained. This is a typical country town cemetery and there aren't any features that are out of the ordinary.
It was a cold day and the ground was covered in about 6 inches of snow. This didn't deter the several carloads of people who visited the cemetery during the time I was there. They weren't there to pay their respects; they were there to check out the "haunted" cemetery. However, there wasn't anything to see that night. The stars were bright and there was too much natural light to see the dancing lights. However, I did see lights from the glistening snow, and blue light coming from blue reflectors positioned about the cemetery.
Those who argue that the phenomenon has "never been explained" simply refuse to consider some of the natural explanations that have been posited to explain the lights. Granted, some are more plausible than others. One theory is that the lights are solar powered lights, but there aren't any in the cemetery, or fireflies, although these insects are not found in the area. A popular explanation comes from the original article, "Some people think it's phosphorescence," said Bill. "You know, from decaying wood in the crosses or something." However, this wouldn't explain why the lights disappeared when they were approached. Nowadays, there are no permanent wooden crosses, just a few handmade ones left at gravesides as tributes. There are many wooden fence posts bordering the grounds, but not within the cemetery itself.
The article also mentions the most popular theory, that the lights are reflections from the town cast onto the tombstones. There is an urban legend that one night, the entire town of Silver Cliff turned off its lights to test this theory. When all the lights went off they still saw the cemetery lights! However, there is no proof that this experiment ever took place; it's just part of the folklore. The author of the National Geographic article argued that the town was too far away to cause reflections. However, the town is only half a mile away, and Silver Cliff is flanked by its sister city Westcliffe, providing additional sources of light. An article in a 1998 issue of Skeptical Inquirer magazine also concluded that the lights are caused by reflections off the "mirrors" created by the smooth marble tombstones. The authors muse that the lights could come from natural sources, including the moon and stars, or from human made sources, such as street lights, cars or houses. It is highly likely that reflections are the source of some of the sightings.
However, given the range of descriptions it seems that there are several claims, and several possible explanations. One of these is that the colored lights might be phosphenes. These are brief flashes of light that are perceived when there is no light entering the eye. You've probably experienced this yourself when you've seen "stars" after rubbing your eyes, or following a heavy sneeze. Importantly, phosphenes are seen when someone goes for a long time without visual stimuli, for example, when someone sits in a dark cemetery for a prolonged period of time. Phosphenes can create a light show of colors that appear out of the darkness. For this reason, the phenomenon is known as "prisoner's cinema". Phosphenes can be induced by eye movements, which would also explain the lights "dancing", "floating" or "darting" across the cemetery.
A newly discovered light receptor on the retina of the eye may provide some insight into the "blue lights". This receptor tells our brains whether it is light or dark outside. Interestingly, this light/dark receptor is tuned to only see blue light. This may explain the blue "glow" as described in the National Geographic story. By these explanations, it is possible that anyone could see these lights anywhere, under similar conditions. It's just not as scary without the tombstones.
Despite the wealth of orb photos and EVPs collected by ghost hunters, there is no actual physical evidence of the lights, beyond the mounds of conflicting anecdotal evidence. Not everyone sees the lights either. This is all telling, and supports the idea that seeing lights during darkness in Silver Cliff Cemetery is a personal experience, likely caused by a person's eyes and mind after they have spent many hours determined to "see" something.

Chargers' Ingram tears ACL
San Diego, CA – San Diego Chargers outside linebacker Melvin Ingram tore the ACL in his left knee during Tuesday's offseason training activities session, an injury that could sideline the 2012 first- round pick for the entire upcoming season.
Ingram, the 18th overall selection in last year's draft, compiled 41 tackles, one sack and five passes defensed while appearing in all 16 games and starting twice as a rookie. The 24-year-old was expected to hold down a regular role this season following the departure of veteran Shaun Phillips through free agency.
A timetable for Ingram's recovery will be determined once surgery is performed.
