Sensible For Steelers To Show Interest In LB Brian Orakpo
By Lucas Campbell
Usually this time of year, as the start of free agency looms, and cuts are made, the Pittsburgh Steelers sit back and watch the rest of the NFL landscape partake in the bonanza. Perennial bottom feeders like the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins often go crazy, choosing to get out the checkbook as opposed to a swift draft strategy to build their respective franchises. The Steelers will occasionally dip their toes into the pool, signing a Ryan Clark or a James Farrior-type presence, but haven't really done anything significant as of late.
The list of pass rushers available this offseason is long, starting with stud Justin Houston, Pernell McPhee, Brandon Graham, Jabaal Sheard and Pittsburgh's own Jason Worilds. A name that's somewhat lost amongst the list, due to injuries, is Redskins' free agent linebacker Brian Orakpo. Pectoral injuries are a major reason why, having derailed him in each of the last few seasons. With the image of LaMarr Woodley haunting fans' memories, plus also haunting the team's cap situation, one may ask why the team would ever think of as much as sniffing what appears to be damaged goods? The answer is quite refreshing, as when he's healthy, he's a Pro Bowl-type force off the edge, something the team sorely needs, and that could be the difference between Pittsburgh being a one-and-done in the playoffs versus an AFC title contender.
A first round pick in '09, Orakpo seemed destined for greatness, recording 11 sacks as a rookie and making his first Pro Bowl. Commercials and endorsements followed, with the 6-foot-4, 257-pound heavily muscled linebacker appearing alongside the infamous Geico caveman. Known for his freakish weightroom strength, having a bench press well over 500 pounds, Orakpo's game is based just on that-power. When healthy, he's posted 38 and a half sacks in just 62 games, or over one-and-a-half per game. That's the type of authoritative force the defense could use, as Orakpo uses his explosion to drive tackles backward, then counters to the quarterback with his cat-like quickness. He's also very physical in the run game, showing an ability to get off blocks and wreak havoc, knifing into the backfield.
The front office has shown before they aren't afraid to make a splash in free agency, as I've previously wrote about them kicking the tires on Elvis Dumervil, before he signed with Baltimore. It was also reported they inquired about left tackle Jake Long in the waning hours before he signed with St. Louis Rams. With the salary cap constraints seemingly not as serious as in past seasons, as Kevin Colbert has stated, the team should have some financial flexibility in terms of retaining not only some of their own free agents, but those from outside the organization as well. As of this writing, the team had already freed up $3.72 million in '15 by restructuring tackle Marcus Gilbert's deal, and more will likely come after Ben Roethlisberger signs his extension. While Houston will likely get a deal averaging roughly $14 million per year, the next wave of rushers like Graham and McPhee may be more suited to deals in the $8 million or so annually. Despite production on the field, Orakpo's pricetag should be even lower than that, due in large part to his injury history. The team could pounce on this, and hand him a short-term deal, giving him nothing more than a contract based on incentives, with little, if any, guarantees. It would allow him to regain his value as one of the league's elite pass rushers, at only 29, while Colbert looks like a genius, acquiring a superb talent for well under market value. For example, look at the Seattle Seahawks the last few seasons, with quarterback Russell Wilson. Although still on his rookie deal, the term vast is an understatement to say he's outperformed it. The Seahawks' brain trust should be charged with highway robbery with the bang for their buck they're getting with Wilson.
Look at it this way; the team would be scoring a Pro Bowl talent at the outside linebacker spot, shoring up a major need, not only overall but draft-wise as well. If he gets hurt again, the team could cut their losses. But adding a player of Orakpo's caliber, at sub-market value seems like the potential Willy Wonka golden ticket to restoring some punch to the team's pass rush. A pickup like him would allow Jarvis Jones to continue improving his game, with Orakpo pegged as the team's primary rusher. Him manning the right side, where stud Cameron Heyward occupies, would be trouble for even the most formidable offensive lines.
With the offense looking set across the board, it comes down to the young defense and whether or not it can improve upon the progress it began showing towards season's end. The team is arguably a few defensive players away from competing for a championship, and a potential difference-maker in Orakpo is available. He should be within their price range, although with a little roll of the dice. This situation brings to mind the news of Chicago Bulls' star Derrick Rose's torn meniscus Tuesday night. If he hit the free agent market, teams would likely be willing to gamble on him, regardless of his injury history. He is ,when healthy, that type of franchise centerpiece, game-changing talent. With Orakpo, the reward at the end of the rainbow could far outweigh the risk.

Youth Hockey Snobbery
Self Awareness is Important...even for a Snob
The one thing that kills me when it comes to ice hockey is that if you don't start early, there's really no chance of ever catching up.
If you start skating at nine or ten years old, well, you missed the bus. Even if you're keeping it real and only aiming to play in-house level, for fun and exercise, it's going to be a real uphill climb to ever get proficient at the game.
That sucks.
That really sucks.
Especially when you see kids picking up lacrosse sticks or playing football for the first time ever as teenagers and excelling at a rapid pace.
Hockey's just not like that.
I mean, there's a reason... It's hard because it's two sports at once.
The kids that start early, as toddlers, learning to skate just as they're learning to run have such an advantage that it's tough for those starting out later to overcome.
If you're an aspiring hockey parent that thinks it's "too early" or that your son or daughter is "too young" and should wait another year or two...don't.
Like everybody, I "learned" how to run when I was maybe a year and a half old. If you gave me lacrosse stick for my 10th birthday, and I liked it, you can bet I'd be a pretty solid lacrosse player by the time I hit high school.
Hockey's different.
When I look in the mirror, I like to think I see someone that loves the idea of all kids giving hockey a try and learning how much fun it is to be part of a hockey team -- even if it is really hard to pick up.
But a few weeks ago, I realized that, damn, I am a hockey snob.
It's still getting me down.
My two oldest were playing in a game on the same team and, being one of those "Hallmark" holidays, turnout was light. Really light.
As in...four skaters and no goalie.
Rather than skating without a goalie -- always a recipe for disaster -- one kid suited up in some 'borrowed' lost-and-found gear which left my sons and one other kid (whose dad was helping on the, obviously, empty bench) to play iron man.
If you're new to this, iron man is where there are no subs. Each player plays the entire game.
The other team was honorable and played a man down to at least make the game play more competitive. Sportsmanship lives in youth hockey, it really does.
So, my older son Duncan wins the opening a face-off forward, splits the D, and scored a goal six seconds in. 1-0.
Great start, but we all know how iron man games go.
I didn't expect the lead to last...especially with a goaltender that had never played the position before and three skaters that were unquestionably going to be gassed after the first few minutes.
Thing is, my two boys battled their hearts out. Our little goalie was covering enough of the net to keep us in the game -- save percentage was only like 60% but, really, the kid was standing on his head considering the circumstances.
The other kid, well...here's where things, for me, go off the rails...
He was the biggest kid on our team, by far. Not a meatball, or anying, by any stretch. Just one of those kids that's five and half feet tall and 100+ pounds in fourth grade.
Easily has 18" on Duncan and defintely twice as heavy.
Big kid.
Athletic kid.
I mean, his size alone makes me jealous.
Wearing $400 skates (confirmed later by his father -- more on that further down) cause that's what they cost at that size.
My boys were up front, he played defense...and never once crossed our own blue line.
Not once.
Stationary.
And usually near the boards too.
I mean, I've seen orange pylons slow offensive attackers down more than this kid.
And that's not a slight on the kid at all -- fact is, it was clear, he doesn't want to play hockey.
So, basically, it's my two kids and a goalie that's never played goalie before against a full team with two full lines and a goalie with a full set of matching pads and a custom painted mask.
My kids, somehow, muster the energy to score 19 goals (ridiculous, I know) cause they know that the only way to win a iron man game is to score often and score early.
We cover game situation stuff like that in the car on the way to and from games quite often.
Problem was, on this day, my kids never hit a wall. Clearly better conditioned than I've ever been. And better conditioned than I'd ever expected.
It was only in the final couple minutes, when the game was out of reach, that they stopped backchecking.
And, as unbelieveable as that is, I was more taken aback by their teamwork and low-energy fist bump celebrations following give-and-go goals considering they'd been at each other's throats on the car ride to the game.
Fifteen goals for Duncan and 4 goals for Henrik.
As they got so far ahead, and running time started, it was embarassing.
We've all been there and seen kids like that -- we get it, you're awesome. Now, chill out.
I mean, though I was biting the insides of my cheeks to quell a smile, I was super proud, but was also very aware of the groan in the crowd of parents everytime my boys were coming in on a two-on-one.
It got to the point that, while I could tell they were instigating their own three pass rule before shooting to slow things down -- a direct result of their coaches during the regular season stressing sportsmanship -- but even that was resulting in a sure-thing, wide open net, situation.
Every. Single. Possession.
And while I was giddy on the inside, given that this was the first time I'd seen them work together so well and dismantle, with ease, a full team of solid hockey players, I was openly cheering for the other team.
Final score was 19-10.
As they headed to the locker room after the game, their shocked coach (who didn't get a chance to coach anyway on this day cause there were never players on the bench to coach) totally expected a different outcome going in gave me a wry grin and said, "I have no words for what I just witnessed."
The opposing coach, who I know really well and who knows my boys too, kinda laughed it off and joked that he should have played full strength all game...but that even that probably wouldn't have made a difference.
Under no circumances would this two-player team be defeated. It was like a validation of all of the hard work my boys have put in -- moments like this were where it all pays off.
And then my "high" came crashing down...
Outside the locker room, the self volunteered assistant coach, the father of the big defenseman, took the opportunity to talk my ear off...
I love talking youth hockey, obviously, so I totally welcomed it considering we were the only two parents there waiting.
He led off with compliments about how well my boys played, which I kind of blew off cause I'm horrible at accepting praise and tried to deflect it back by mentioning that his son had a couple assists (which were more 'gifts' from the scorekeeper as I never saw him touch the puck)...
All was good -- nothing out of the ordinary but then he went on to talk about how his son plays for the same program my boys do during the winter (he doesn't) and how disappointed he is that the coaching staff hasn't shown his son how to play the game the way my boys just played.
And he just kept talking and talking -- even if I hadn't been (still) biting the insides of my cheeks and nodding false agreement with a fake smile on my face the entire time, I wasn't going to get a word in.
I wanted to explain to him first that, "No, you don't skate in the same program, you skate in the same building. They're different."
And further, while I'm not super familiar with the coaching staff in the program he skates with during the regular season, I'm certain they're not THAT bad.
He also seemed confused as to why his son, also 9 years old, wasn't on Duncan's team last winter.
I had a huge urge to go on the defensive, "Woah, slow down..." and then, maybe even get offensive.
But he just kept talking -- even as my kids were fully undressed and standing there waiting to leave -- so much that I gathered that his son was actually enrolled in a learn to play program of some sort and not actually on a team...
Now, I get it, maybe he's a new hockey parent.
The different levels of hockey can be overwhelming but I was, literally, offended that he thought his son was at the same level as mine.
I'd never once felt this before.
I mean, this dad recognized talent but didn't seem to understand the work that went in to it.
You don't just "sign up" for hockey and suddenly turn into a dominant player. I mean, that doesn't happen with anything!
My two kids put on a show this morning because they've spent hundreds of hours (HUNDREDS!) working on it since they were three years old.
They're both high end players for their age and, granted, players like that are few and far between in this summer league but that's when it hit me...
I mean, in my head, I was thinking, "Are you for real?"
But if I said something, anything, I'd not only be a youth hockey snob but also come across as a pompous a-hole too.
I mean, he's a pretty personable guy, obviously, striking up a seemingly never ending conversation with a stranger but I'd never once been in a youth hockey related conversion with another hockey parent that I, literally, had NOTHING in common with.
It was so odd to me that he was so clueless but still spoke as if he were an authority.
Maybe he was trying to "hang" and talk-the-talk with me (fake it 'til you make it), assuming I was some sort of hockey player "guy" or something, I dunno.
I mean, I'm no expert -- every chance I get, I ask the parents of older players how and why they did this or that.
This guy was telling me what I ought to do...as I was repeating in my head "Get away from this dude..."
Hmmm... now I wonder if other parents think of me like that?
Probably not -- I ask questions.
So during the car ride home, I tried to tread lightly and tell my boys not to EVER listen to any kind of "advice" he tries to offer on the bench.
Thinking about it all week, knowing that I'll be cornered again at the next game since, I guess we're friends now or something, I'm trying to come up with a game plan in advance of how to, respectfully, get him back on the rails, if I can get a word in.
You know, explain that there are different organizations using the same facility -- our kids are not in the same program.
Explain the different levels -- learn-to-skate, learn-to-play, in-house, travel, club, elite, etc...
And maybe offer some advice on what path to take if his son is looking to play more games or play for a team that practices -- summer hockey doesn't practice.
Or if he's all-in, even mention that things like private lessons exist.
His son has all of the physical assets and certainly the equipment to be a decent hockey player. And I'm thinking that his dad's highest aspiration for it is for him to play in an in-house league.
It's not for me, but I totally get it.
And I love that, at some point, he decided to have his son give ice hockey a try but main issue I saw is that the coaching from dad -- who mentioned baseball is his game of choice -- is hurting him greatly (dad was yelling from the bench to "stay back") and that's totally messing with his kid's head.
Look, the kid will never be a superstar but send him out there and have him chase the puck.
Those kids don't usually turn into very good hockey players but you know what?
They touch the puck -- and that's what makes hockey fun.
At every level.
And great hockey players are generous -- had he parked himself in front of the opposing goal instead of 100+ feet behind the play for the entire game, my boys would have fed him the puck and he'd have had a hat trick. No question.
Towards the end of the game, I saw my kids trying to get him to take the faceoffs to get him involved but he kept declining.
So, yeah, I may be a hockey snob of sorts these days cause I'm not keen on players of that ability lowering the overall talent level on my kids' teams that far but, boy, do I wish I could have 30 seconds to coach that kid.
He'd still be way behind, skill wise, but I know I could make it more fun for him.
And his dad too.
Every parent walks in blind at some point, I realize that.
I've learned so much since Duncan's first tryout for a travel team back in 2015 from my own experience, partially, but mostly from seeking advice from other hockey parents with older kids.
My boys wouldn't be ringing up 19 goals, shorthanded, without some sound advice along the way.

Welcome to a grim dystopian future.
A totalitarian State controls every aspect of private and public life. Laws are oppressive. Surveillance is total. Privacy is dead. You are the State-installed manager of an apartment building. Your daily routine involves making the building a sweet spot for tenants, who will come and go.
However, that is simply a facade that hides your real mission.
The State has appointed you to SPY ON YOUR TENANTS! Your primary task is to covertly watch your tenants and eavesdrop on their conversations. You must BUG their apartments while they're away, SEARCH their belongings for whatever can threaten the authority of the State, and PROFILE them for your superiors. You must also REPORT anyone capable of violating the laws or plotting subversive activities against the State to the authorities.
Beholder is all about making choices - choices that matter!
What will you do with the information you collect? Will you report the suspicious activities of a father and orphan his children? Or will you withhold the details about his illegal activities and give him a chance to make things right? You may also choose to blackmail him to acquire the money your family desperately needs.
- You decide what happens: Every decision you make affects the way the story unfolds.
- People aren't just objects: Each character you meet will have a thoroughly developed personality with his or her own past and present.
- No decision is easy: If you are given the power to destroy the privacy of another person, should you? Or should you treat those on which you are spying the way they deserve?
- You don't know where you'll end up: "Beholder" is a game of multiple endings.

Lipoid proteinosis is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the glycoprotein extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1). We report here mutation analysis of the ECM1 gene in a Chinese family with lipoid proteinosis. A 10-year-old boy presented with a hoarse voice, acneiform scars and yellow skin nodules, as well as beaded eyelid papules and a thickened sublingual frenulum. Skin biopsy showed widespread deposition of hyaline material in the dermis and thickened basement membrane. His elder sister had the same clinical manifestations. The coding region of ECM1 was amplified and sequenced and both affected siblings were shown to have a novel homozygous single nucleotide substitution, c.658T>G, in exon 6, which converts cysteine to glycine, designated p.C220G. Both parents were heterozygous for this mutation which was not detected in 100 control chromosomes. Missense mutations in the ECM1 gene are an unusual finding in lipoid proteinosis, but this case adds to the spectrum of disease-associated mutations in this rare genodermatosis. Key words: extracellular matrix protein 1; ECM1; lipoid proteinosis; LP; exon 6.

Lipoid proteinosis (LP), also known as Urbach-Wiethe disease, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by variable scarring and infiltration of the skin and mucosa (1). Classical clinical features include warty skin infiltration, papules on the eyelids and skin scarring as well as extracutaneous abnormalities, such as hoarseness of the voice, epilepsy and neuropsychiatric abnormalities (1). Histologically, there is widespread deposition of hyaline-like material and disruption or re-duplication of basement membrane around blood vessels and at the dermal-epidermal junction. The aetiology of LP has recently been shown to result from loss-of-function mutations in the ECM1 gene on 1q21 (2). The ECM1 protein has important physiological and biological roles in epidermal differentiation, binding of dermal collagens and proteoglycans, and regulation of angiogenesis. More than 20 pathogenic mutations have been reported so far, mostly nonsense, frameshift or splice site mutations with the majority occurring in exon 6 or 7 of the 10 exon ECM1 gene. In this study, we describe the clinical and pathological features of a 10-year-old boy and his 18-year-old sister with LP from Shanxi province of China, in whom we identified a homozygous missense mutation in exon 6.
The patient was a 10-year-old boy with LP who had papules on the margins of his eyelids (moniliform blepharosis) (Fig. 1A) as well as diffuse acneiform scars on his face, dorsae of the hands and on his buttocks, along with yellow waxy nodules on his lower legs. He had also suffered from a hoarse voice since infancy. The oral mucosa showed yellow-white infiltrates and was thickened (Fig. 1B). Movement of the tongue was limited because of a thick sublingual frenulum. Indirect laryngoscopy revealed infiltrated vocal cords. No obvious neuropsychiatric abnormalities were detected and there was no history of epilepsy. He had an 18-year-old sister who had similar, but somewhat milder, clinical features (Fig. 1C). Their parents were not affected and were not known to be related, although they originated from the same province.

Skin biopsy was taken from clinically affected skin. Skin sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) showed widespread deposition of hyaline-like material around blood vessels and adnexal epithelia, and thickening of the basement membrane at the dermal-epidermal junction. On periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining and PAS-diastase, these sites were PAS-positive and diastase-resistant.
Mutation detection of ECM1 gene
Genomic DNA sample of the 2 patients and their parents were extracted from peripheral blood by routine methods. The primers used for the amplification of the 10 exons and their flanking introns of the ECM1 gene were as reported previously (4). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mixture contained 1×PCR buffer, 250 ng genomic DNA, 6.25 pmol/each primer, 1.5 mMl MgCl2, 0.2 mM/each dNTPs and 2.5 U Taq DNA polymerase in a total volume of 25 μl. A standard touch-down protocol was used for the amplification. For this, the annealing temperature began at 62°C, and was then lowered by 0.5°C per cycle to 52°C. PCR products were purified using a commercial kit and sequenced directly in an ABI 310 genetic analyser (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA).
Direct sequencing of the PCR products amplified from the affected boy revealed a homozygous T>G transversion at nucleotide c.658 in exon 6, which changes a cysteine residue to glycine (TGC→GGC) at amino acid 220 (designated p.C220G). The same homozygous mutation was also found in his sister's genomic DNA gene. Both parents were heterozygous carriers of this mutation (Fig. 2A). The substitution c.658T>G generates a unique recognition site for the restriction endonuclease SacII. This restriction endonuclease digests the PCR products of the affected individuals into 508 and 163 bp fragments, but leaves the wild-type sequence undigested with a product of 671 bp (Fig. 2B). We screened for this mutation in 50 unrelated control subjects, but identified no SacII digestion for any amplified allele, thus making p.C220G unlikely as a non-pathogenic polymorphism.
Fig. 2. (A) Direct sequencing of the PCR product amplified from exon 6 of ECM1 gene. The 2 patients show a homozygous mutation of c.658T>G (arrow). His father and mother have a heterozygous mutation of c.658T>G. An unrelated healthy control shows the wild type (TGC) sequence. (B) Pedigree of the patients studied shows it is a non-consanguineous family, and the proband is the son. Both the son and daughter are patients, while the parents have the normal phenotype. The gel electrophoresis: MW: DNA size standard; Cont: Normal control; The male patient: The PCR product was completely cut into 508 and 163bp; The female patient: same as her brother; Their father: The PCR product was partially cut by Sac II and shows 508bp, 163bp and the intact band of 671bp; Their mother: same as their father.
LP is a rare autosomal recessive and clinically heterogeneous disorder. Clinical manifestations include varying degrees of skin scarring and infiltration, vocal hoarseness and respiratory distress, and some cases may be complicated by neurological abnormalities and dental problems. More than 250 cases of LP have been reported thus far. It occurs worldwide, but seems to be more common in some populations, such as South Africa, in which a founder effect has been demonstrated (3). Most cases of LP involve loss-of-function mutations in ECM1.The main function of the ECM1 protein appears to involve protein-protein binding in the dermis. ECM1 has been shown to bind to perlecan, fibulin and matrix metalloproteinase 9 and thereby it influences several aspects of dermal homeostasis (5, 6). Expression of ECM1 has also been shown to alter in chronological ageing and photoageing (7). Nearly all the published ECM1 mutations in LP are expected to lead to low or absent mRNA or protein expression and very few missense mutation have been reported. The missense mutations documented include F167I (8) and F167L (9), although only the latter was present on both alleles. Our case therefore represents the second report of a homozygous missense mutation as the molecular basis for individuals with LP. Interestingly, the same missense mutation, p.C220G, has recently been reported in another Chinese case of LP (10). In that report the affected individual was a compound heterozygote for the ECM1 mutations p.C220G/p.R476X. That case emanated from Jinan, in the Shandong Province of China, which is more than 500 km from our family. Moreover, our family is not aware of any connection to the previously reported case. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to assess the ECM1 haplotype in both families to see whether this might represent a common ancestral mutant Chinese allele, especially as this mutation has not been reported elsewhere (11). In summary, this paper describes 2 siblings with classical clinical features of LP, but with the unusual finding of a novel homozygous missense mutation in the ECM1 gene.

More lies from National and their Brethren
Written By: John A - Date published: 5:24 pm, October 19th, 2007 - 8 comments
Categories: brethren - Tags: brethren
Last year Gerry Brownlee told TVNZ that there was "no formal connection" between National and the Brethren. Last week John Key told a meeting on London that "there were no alliances between National and the Brethren".
Yet Andrew Simmons has just told the ABC that telephone canvassing done for National during the campaign was done "by volunteers at the request of individual MPs". You can watch him below.
Simmons also maintains the Brethren Church line that their activity in the election had nothing to do with the Brethren Church, and was all done by individual volunteers who just happened to be Brethren Church members. You can watch the whole video here.
Yet the Brethren volunteers, some as young as fifteen, campaigned extensively in at least fifteen electorates. In some cases the phoning was done from the Westmount schools, owned by the Brethren Church.
Ask yourself how God will judge them.
8 comments on "More lies from National and their Brethren "
Robinsod 1
I think it's worth noting that the EB do nothing outside of their church. Every action they take is owned by their faith (that's part of the exclusive gig), therefore I think the question of whether they were acting for the church is moot. What we really need to ask is why would their church ask them to say they were not campaigning for their church? (as they wouldn't say that if it was not mandated by their faith?)
Theo 2
I volunteered to poll for national at the last election. A number of people did. All of our own accord. We worked at a number of different locations all over the country, some of which were schools. I don't see the point you are trying to make here.
mardypants 3
Theo, I guess it depends. Assuming you're part of the Exclusive Brethren, then one point that's been made is that your Church covertly campaigned for the National Party using funds that were possibly obtained in breach of NZ laws. What you did is not at issue.
all_your_base 4
The other point Theo is that National continues to deny these kinds of close ties with the Brethren (Brownlee: "no formal connection").
Yet things keep coming to light (most recently this statement from Simmons) that suggest National's still not telling the truth about the extent of the organised planning between them and the sect.
burt 5
Oh my god, some people campaigned for a political party using their own money. Quick get the EFB in place, this kind of thing must be stopped or at least limited to $60K.
Quick authorise another $15m advertising for WFF and show us all how a family living in Epsom in a $700K house with lots of cool toys can get welfare if we vote Labour.
the sprout 6
oh bertie you really are such a wag
George Darroch 7
It's not the campaigning that gets me. It's the lies, the cover-up, and the desperate hypocrisy.
Brett Davidson 8
…and as for polling, surely you've heard of push polling, Theo? Of course there are honest pollsters, but the EBs were doing nothing of the sort.
I agree with George, it's the deceit and the backroom collusion that offends me, and which points to a deeper corruption of the political process.
And Burt, glib tabloid headlines are not serious political debate. Do grow up, or at least try to imitate an adult. Really, there is no conspiracy against you; it's just called maturity – and that's why no-one takes you seriously.

Cahill gets 1st win since April; A's beat Colon, Rangers 7-6
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Bartolo Colon throws to an Oakland Athletics batter during the first inning of a baseball game Thursday, July 26, 2018, in Arlington, Texas.Michael Ainsworth / AP
PMN Baseball
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Oakland Athletics kept right on rolling and delayed Bartolo Colon's latest attempt at a milestone.
Trevor Cahill ended a nine-start winless streak, Colon failed for his fourth consecutive outing to become the winningest major league pitcher born in Latin America and the A's beat the Rangers 7-6 on Thursday night to complete a four-game sweep and extend their winning streak to six games, matching their season high.
Matt Chapman homered, tripled twice and scored three runs for the A's, who have swept three four-game series on the road for the first time since 1928. Oakland is a majors-best 27-7 since June 16 and trails Seattle by one game for the AL's second wild card.
Oakland, at 61-43, is 18 games over .500 for the first time since Sept. 9, 2014.
"It's great to come out of here with four wins," Chapman said. "It's huge for us."
During the game, four-time All-Star Cole Hamels embraced Rangers teammates and left the dugout amid reports that he was being traded to the Chicago Cubs, though the club didn't announce any deal Thursday. After the game, the left-hander's locker was empty, his nameplate above the locker gone.
"Our ace the past two, three years. It is sad but understandable," Elvis Andrus said. "I wish him the best."
Cahill (2-2) allowed five runs, seven hits, three walks and a hit batter in five innings. He had been 0-2 since beating the Chicago White Sox on April 17 and twice went on the disabled list.
Blake Treinen allowed Adrian Beltre's leadoff single in the ninth, and pinch-runner Isiah Kiner-Falefa advanced on a wild pitch. Treinen then retired Jurickson Profar, Joey Gallo and Robinson Chirinos in order for his 27th save in 31 chances.
Colon (5-9) allowed six runs and nine hits in seven innings, throwing a season-high 106 pitches. He has 245 wins, tied with Dennis Martinez.
"The most important thing is I battled and gave us a chance to win," Colon said through an interpreter.
Texas dropped to 42-62 and is 20 games under .500 for the first time since finishing 2014 at 67-95.
The game was tied at 3 in the fourth when Dustin Fowler and Martini hit consecutive RBI triples, and Marcus Semien followed with a run-scoring single.
Profar hit a two-run triple in the fifth, and Jonathan Lucroy's sacrifice fly in the eighth boosted the lead to 7-5. Jeurys Familia, acquired from the New York Mets last weekend, threw a run-scoring wild pitch in the bottom half.
DAVIS' HOMER STREAK ENDS
Khris Davis was held without a home run after homering in his previous six games against Texas and the previous four games overall. He was one short of Ken Griffey Jr.'s mark for consecutive games with a homer against the Rangers, set in 1994. Davis went 1 for 4 with a single and two strikeouts.
Davis, Oakland's regular DH, is scheduled to make his eighth start of the season in left field on Friday in the opener of an interleague series at Colorado.
SHORT HOPS
The A's had four triples for the first time since 1967. … Oakland rookie OF Nick Martini, leading off for the third time this season, reached base four times and scored twice. . Beltre had three singles, raising his hits total to 3,122. . The Rangers were 4 for 20 with runners in scoring position with eight strikeouts.
A's: OF Matt Joyce (lumbar strain) has felt sick in recent days, and the club will reassess his status next week.
Rangers: RHP Chris Martin (groin strain) threw 20 pitches of batting practice and could begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
A's: LHP Sean Manaea (9-6, 3.3) is to start Friday at Colorado, He is 4-0 in his last five starts and is seeking to match his career best for consecutive winning decisions.
Rangers: RHP Yovani Gallardo (4-1, 7.18) will open a three-game series at Houston on Friday. He pitched six scoreless innings in beating Cleveland last Sunday.

IT DOESN'T get any bigger than bringing a Terminator movie to your home town.
Sydney native Jai Courtney introduced the first footage from the reboot to a lucky group of cinema-goers in Sydney tonight alongside his legendary co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"I'm really proud of the movie and it's great to see so many people here in the town where I grew up," Courtney told APN on the red carpet.

The fifth Terminator movie sees Courtney star in another big action franchise after his role as Eric in the Divergent series, as the bad guy swapping punches with Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher and as Bruce Willis's son in A Good Day to Die Hard.
He was full of praise for his 67-year-old Terminator Genisys co-star, who returns to the franchise for the first time in 12 years.
"Arnie's larger than life and he has a ball doing what he does," Courtney said.
"I don't think this would have been the same without having him involved."
In a Q&A before the advance screening, which featured 20 minutes of footage from the film, Schwarzenegger fondly remembered his early trips to Australia as a body builder and complimented Courtney on his physical preparations for the role.
He was also full of praise for Courtney and the other Australian actor in the film, Jason Clarke, for their work ethic.

Courtney must have also made quite an impression on the film's casting agents and producers.
While filming Angelina Jolie's Second World War drama Unbroken in Australia, he flew to Los Angeles and back in one weekend to audition for Terminator Genisys.
"I flew out on a Saturday morning, landed Saturday morning, flew back on the Saturday night and landed on the Monday morning; it was kind of weird," he said.
"It was worth it because I got the gig. That was the craziest (audition) to date."
Terminator Genisys sees Courtney's character Kyle Reese sent back in time to 1984 to rescue resistance leader John Connor's mother Sarah (Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones), only to discover she's already preparing for Judgement Day with the help of a friendly T-800 (Schwarzenegger).

How representative of the whole-lake fossil assemblage are analyses from a single sediment core taken in the centre of a small lake? This question was addressed in five shallow Norwegian lakes that ranged in location from low-altitude, boreal-deciduous forest to mid-alpine environments. Surface-sediment samples were taken from the deepest part of each lake and in two transects running from the lake centre to shore, and analysed for mites, chironomids, and plant remains. Ordination techniques summarised patterns of variation between and within lakes. Correlations between whole-lake assemblages and water depth and sediment organic content (loss-on-ignition) were investigated. Representativeness of each sample of the whole-lake assemblage was determined by comparing Principal Components Analysis scores of the original data with those of Monte Carlo-simulated data sets, using the actual data as constraints in the simulations. The majority of samples are representative of the whole-lake assemblages. Littoral samples, however, are most frequently unrepresentative or poorly representative samples. Water depth is an important controlling variable. A sediment core from the lake centre has the highest probability of representing the whole-lake assemblage. It may, however, also yield the lowest concentrations of terrestrial remains. A sediment core from the slope is slightly more likely to be unrepresentative of the total plant macrofossil assemblage, but generally has higher concentrations of terrestrial remains. These site differences should be considered when choosing a core location. Overall, the three fossil types are deposited in similar patterns. Therefore they can be satisfactorily analysed using a single core.

The number of ends and picks per inch in a woven fabric. If a cloth is 64 X 60, it means there are 64 ends and 60 picks per inch in a woven fabric. A cloth that has the same number of ends and picks per inch in woven goods is called a square cloth. 80-square percale, for example, has 80 ends and 80 picks per inch. Pick count is the term that is synonymous with texture or number of filling picks per inch.
The number of warp ends and picks per inch in a woven fabric. If a cloth is 68 X 72, it means there are 68 ends and 72 picks per inch in a woven fabric. A cloth that has the same number of ends and picks per inch in woven goods is called a square cloth. 80-square percale, for example, has 80 warp ends and 80 picks per inch.

Firstpost Spodcast Episode 107: Manchester United appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Anup Kumar's retirement from kabaddi and more
Today, we discuss the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as caretaker manager of Manchester United, India's legendary kabaddi captain Anup Kumar's retirement from the sport and more.
FP Sports December 20, 2018 14:09:53 IST
Following the sacking of Jose Mourinho from the role of manager for Manchester United, the club selected Ole Gunnar Solskjaer caretaker manager until the end of the current season. The Norwegian, a former United striker, will take charge of the first team with immediate effect and will be responsible for the team while United searches for a new full-time manager. He had retired from football in 2007, before which he appeared 366 times for United, and scored 126 goals during a successful period for the club. His most famous moment was the 1999 Champions League final when he scored the winner for United against Bayern Munich.
Speaking of Jose Mourinho, the ousted Manchester United manager told the media on Wednesday that he was proud of his time at the club but refused to delve into the issues that played a part in his exit.
In a statement shared with the press, United's former manager made it clear that that chapter is now closed, and he wanted to move on. Mourinho said, "I have been immensely proud to wear the badge of Manchester United since the first day I arrived, and I believe all United supporters recognise this. Just as was the case with my previous clubs, I have worked with some wonderful people and I believe that some will be my friends for life. I know that you are all aware of my professional principles. Each time a chapter is closed I show my deepest respect and I don't make any comments about my former colleagues." He added, "I keep the good things and I don't speak about anything that happened in the club. We could speak about so many good things. It's finished."
Tottenham moved a step closer to their first trophy since 2008 after beating their North London rivals Arsenal 2-0 to book a place in the semifinals. Meanwhile, defending champions Manchester City will face off against League One Burton.
Tottenham will face Chelsea in the semi-final. Chelsea defeated Bournemouth 1-0 in the quarterfinal, thanks to Eden Hazard's 84th minute strike.
Veteran kabaddi player Anup Kumar, one of the most impactful kabaddi players to have played for India, announced his retirement with immediate effect yesterday. 35-year-old Anup had an illustrious 15-year career that included two Asian Games gold medals, a Kabaddi World Cup title win in 2016 and a Pro Kabaddi League title win with U Mamba in 2015.
The interviews for India's new women's cricket coach will take place today as the shortlisted candidates appear before the BCCI selection panel comprising ex-cricketers Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy.
The shortlisted candidates who will be interviewed include Gary Kirsten, Herschelle Gibbs, Ramesh Powar, WV Raman, Venkatesh Prasad, Manoj Prabhakar, Trent Johnston, Mark Coles, Dimitri Mascarenhas and Brad Hogg.

Finding ants in your home is upsetting. Some ants, like odorous house ants, can infest your kitchen resulting in wasted food. Other ants, like carpenter ants, can threaten your property's structural integrity. Any kind of ant can be a nuisance.
Calling an exterminator over little, tiny ants can lead to a large and painful expense. Most products on store shelves consist of dangerous poisons and harmful chemicals; not the sort of things you want in your home.
Remember your childhood days, when you used to pass time watching a trail of ants to see where they were coming from, or make your own children or grandchildren do this for you! Because ants usually travel along a trail, you can probably figure out where they are coming from and seal up or block off their entry points.
Make your house as unwelcoming to ants as possible. If the ants can't find readily available food and water sources, they will be less likely to try to come in. Any type of food or food particles can attract ants. Store food, especially pet food, in tight containers. Wipe down your counters and floors frequently.
Remove plants that can attract ants (peonies for example) or control aphids, whiteflies and other insects that produce honeydew (aphids love roses and clematis). Reduce moisture sources, including condensation and leaks.
Keeping every crumb cleaned up may be a bit of extra work, and we assure you, it is less work to prevent an ant infestation than to get rid of them once they have decided they like your home!
One of the best ways to get rid of ants is to discourage them from entering your home in the first place. In addition to sealing your home and keeping it clean, one of the best ways to do this is to invest in an ant repellent.
EarthKind's Stay Away® Ants works by using the ants' highly sensitive scent receptors, found on their antennae, against them. Ants use scent trails to communicate with each other, to find food, and mark the paths they travel. Stay Away® Ants will block the scents they are searching for and make them avoid the treated area.
Most importantly, unlike other types of ant control products, when you choose an environmentally friendly repellent, you do not have to worry about the risk you might be posing to your pets, kids or grandkids.
Remember to be vigilant. You don't want to have to get rid of ants. You want to prevent them from coming into your home at all! As an added bonus, the natural scents and essential oils of lemongrass, peppermint and thyme smells pleasant to people!

The course introduces students to behavioural sociology, with a particular focus on the use of experimental methods to examine social behaviour. It will present an approach that integrates social psychology, behavioural sciences and sociology to understand social behaviour in complex interaction settings
Risultati apprendimento attesi
By attending this module, students will familiarize with experimental methods and learn how to use them to understand social behaviour. They will learn how to develop counterfactual and implication analysis and apply inquisitive thinking to the analysis of social behaviour in a variety of contexts, e.g., social media, groups and organisations
Squazzoni Flaminio
The courses introduces behavioural sociology as a discipline and presents its epistemological and methodological foundations. The focus is on the following topics:
Behavioural sociology as a discipline and its epistemological foundations;
Social evolution with examples of moral dilemmas, in which different values, motivations and reasons can conflict; the context-specific nature of social behaviour and the tension between individual and collective interests; "us versus them" categorizations and the role of emotions;
The social exchange theory with references to classic studies and recent experimental findings on reciprocity, solidarity and status;
Behavioural game theory (BGT) and its explanation of cooperation and collective dilemmas, with reference to informal and formal enforcements, punishment and rewards, inequality aversion, social norms and expectations;
Trust, reputation and gossip as leaning scaffolds and social control devices;
Social influence and the social susceptibility of human behaviour in a variety of social contexts, with a special focus on outcome unpredictability;
Threshold models of collective behaviour;
Unintended consequences of social behaviour;
Experimental design for behavioural research.

Austin Rivers Trolls Furious Dad Doc Into Ejection In Hilarious Family Moment
Patrick Sutare | Nov 14 2019, 01:57AM EST
A son trolling an outraged dad is something very unconventional in a common household. But apparently, the Rivers are not one of them. Take it from a cracking scene between Austin Rivers and dad Doc late in the Clippers-Rockets game in Houston on Wednesday.
With the result already beyond doubt in favor of the Rockets late in the fourth, a frustrated Doc was seen going after an official in disgust with the reason being unclear. Austin then proceeded to troll him with a "T" gesture which prompted hilarious cheers from the home crowd.
Doc tried to ignore Austin's antics as he continued complaining in front of the referee. But the latter perhaps hit "playtime" and wanted to lure his dad to an amusing father-son bonding moment, which for sure Doc never wanted to be a part of.
Austin then hyped up the crowd while continuing his clowning taunts in front of his dad, who was eventually sent off to the showers.
Family gatherings will never be the same for the Rivers from here on. Austin certainly is aware of it as he expects a weird thanksgiving night with the rest of the family.
In a more serious tone, the strong personal bond between the two is indisputable. With a simple look, Austin clearly knew his father was about to snap. " I knew it was coming. I've seen that look before many times. Once he starts blinking his eyes fast that's when I know he's about to level up. I just started telling Tony (referee) get him and they got him. He's out of here," he said.
He then continued by saying that he enjoyed the moment a lot. "I doubt we go to dinner. He actually is sensitive about stuff like that. I love him. It was a really good moment. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm not gonna lie to you. I really did enjoy that"
James Harden just served another clinic in the said game after finishing with 47 points, six rebounds and seven assists in the win but fans are having none of this "usual" thing from the former MVP. Instead, they joined the fun in twitter and made the Rivers' scene an instant meme.

Japanese Indie Game Black Bird by Onion Games Gets a New Trailer and Release Date
Black Bird, News, Onion Games, Originals, PC, Platforms, Switch, Trailers, Video
Onion Games announced the Japanese release date for their game Black Bird, with a new trailer.
Onion Games is a small Japanese indie studio based in Tokyo, Shinjuku. The studio itself is quite unknown but it was created by very famous developers.
First off is Yoshiro Kimura, the producer of Shadows of the Damned and No More Heroes 1 and 2. Next is Kazuyuki Kurashima, character designer of Live A Live, Super Mario RPG and Moon: Remix RPG Adventure. Last but not least is Tom Ikeda, director of Lolipop Chainsaw.
Seeing the games these three worked on, you could guess Black Bird is quite a peculiar game, and you wouldn't be wrong. At first glance, the game is a shoot'em up with horizontal scrolling, but you'll quickly see how weird it is by checking the trailer below.
The game will launch digitally for Switch in Japan on October 18th. According to the studio's official Twitter, the western release date for Steam and Switch will soon be announced.

More details are coming out about the new R.E.M. album, "Collapse Into Now," due early next year (for initial news, see "R.E.M. finish new album" here).
Mike Mills tells Spin than the band's 15th studio album is more "expansive" than 2008's "Accelerate."
"With Accelerate, we were trying to make a point by making the songs as short and as fast as possible," Mills says. "So we wanted this new one to be more expansive. We wanted to put more variety into it and not limit ourselves to any one type of song. There are some really slow, beautiful songs; there are some nice, mid-tempo ones; and then there are three or four rockers."
"Collapse Into Now" is produced by Garret "Jacknife" Lee (Snow Patrol, U2), and will feature a pair of special guests
Patti Smith joins the band on the album's closing track, "Blue," while Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder appears on "It Happened Today."
The album was recorded in different cities -- Berlin, Nashville, New Orleans -- with breaks between to write and rewrite songs. "It's also fun for us to go to the cities we really love and spend some time," says Mills.
After a day's work in the studio, the band would go out to dinner. "It's really important to go out, get great food, shrug off the debris of the day, and just be friends and have a good time. In Berlin you drink beer and eat wurst. In New Orleans you eat Cajun food and drink Sazerac. In Nashville we ate a lot of fried chicken."

R.E.M.'s March 13, 2008 ACL concert, which was edited into a single hour for the TV show, will be extended on the DVD, with more songs - including three that weren't aired on the original broadcast.

Wade Jeffries came to the Tennessee Small Business Development Center at Dyersburg State Community College with an opportunity to purchase a sole proprietorship: the Pig-N-Out BBQ & Grill in Dyersburg. Wade had been the general manager of the restaurant for eight years, since getting displaced from a job at a local manufacturing company.
The previous owner of the Pig-N-Out approached Wade to purchase the sole proprietorship. Understanding the day-to-day operations and value of the business, and the importance of the jobs to the employees, Wade began the process of purchasing the business. He reached out to the TSBDC for assistance.
After hours of counseling from the TSBDC, Wade was able to secure a loan of $100,000 for the purchase of the business. After securing a long-term lease for the facility, he was able to purchase the Pig-N-Out. TSBDC also helped Wade develop of a business plan, financial projections and an employee application, and they helped in securing a long-term lease and getting organized.
Since opening , Pig-N-Out has increased sales by more than10%, made significant leasehold improvements , retained the existing employees and hired two more people.
The services provided by the TSBDC at Dyersburg State helped me take an opportunity and turn it into a viable business. The TSBDC was supportive and provided valuable information for me to make decisions for the future.

Google is happy to push out its apps on both Android and iOS, trying to get the maximum reach possible. Everything from Google Maps to Gmail is available to download for free on Apple's mobile operating system.
But in contrast, Apple jealously guards its software products, almost never releasing them on any other platforms. Apple only has three apps available for Android: An app that supports Beats Pill+ speakers, Apple Music, and an app for transferring Android users' data to iOS.
Prior to WWDC, Apple's big developer conference in June, there were rumours that Apple was about to launch its famed iMessage messaging app on Android in a play for market share.
Why? Walt Mossberg, a famed technology journalist, posed the question to an unnamed "senior Apple executive" while at the conference. The executive's answer, which Mossberg recounted in a column for The Verge, was simple: Apple doesn't need to, or want to.
Apple introduced a whole host of new features for iMessage at WWDC to make it more interesting as rivals like WhatsApp, Snapchat and Facebook Messenger beef up their own offerings — and in turn make its hardware products more attractive to consumers. It's not about to throw that away by launching the app on a rival platform.
