Pentair Water Treatment Appointed Exclusive Distributor of T&T Pumps
ST. PAUL, Minn., Apr 30, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Pentair (NYSE: PNR) today announced that its Pentair Water Treatment business has been appointed the exclusive distributor of T&T-brand pumps for reverse osmosis (RO) water purification applications. Based in Fairmont, W.Va., T&T Pumps is a leading brand of high performance pumps used in RO applications.
"Pentair Water Treatment already provides the global RO water purification market with a broad product line, including CodeLine membrane housings, Fleck control valves, and Structural pressure vessels. With the addition of T&T pumps, we now have a product offering that is second to none. T&T, meanwhile, will realize the benefits of our broad worldwide distribution network," said Richard J.

According to Pentair, T&T's stainless steel multi-stage pumps expands Pentair's product offering for RO water purification. The structure of the distribution partnership calls for Pentair to market and sell T&T-made pumps in global water treatment markets, while T&T will continue to provide customer service and technical support for their products.
"T&T pumps have been proven in a variety of applications -- from three miles underground in the harsh conditions of the mining industry, to the ultra clean environment of the semiconductor industry," says Jim Stephens, director of Industrial/Municipal Markets for Pentair Water Treatment. "The leading manufacturers of RO equipment prefer T&T pumps because of their performance, reliability, and low maintenance cost. Having T&T pumps in our water purification product line gives Pentair Water Treatment a strong competitive advantage."

It manufactures a wide range of control valves for residential, commercial, and industrial water conditioning systems. The business also offers an industry leading range of fiberglass/composite pressure vessels and storage tanks.

Digital Image Processing allows you to design custom FIR filters, both one and two-dimensional, and to solve even the hardest image filtering problems.
A common method of obtaining 2D filters is to obtain them indirectly by transforming 1D prototypes. The simplest method imposes rectangular symmetry on the resulting 2D filter by taking the outer product of two 1D filters. In order to obtain a circularly symmetric 2D filter from a 1D prototype, the common approach is to use the McClellan transformation also known as the frequency transformation. The resulting filters have good performance as well as circular symmetry. They have been shown to be optimal under a restricted set of conditions. Here we use the McClellan transformation to transform a 1D equiripple filter to a circularly symmetric 2D filter. The prototype filter is lowpass.


Even though has its share of problems, the United States is a diverse country because it has a multitude of people in all backgrounds and it is a melting pot with lots to offer all races and ethnicities. There are so many different ethnicities and cultures that live in the United States, that there should be no reason for people to get bored with each other. Learning the ways of others is something that everyone should be open to. The United States has Whites, Blacks, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanics and many ethnic groups such as; Jewish, Irish, English, and Italian among others.
These challenges include religion, language barriers, racism, and ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism is the tendency to assume that one's culture and way of life are superior to all others, Schaefer (2012). The United States will probably always have these problems, because there will always be someone out there who thinks that they are better than someone else. Religion is a challenge because with so many different cultures of people, no one is going to carry the same religious beliefs. It makes it harder for the schools to carry on the traditional prayer in school because we can't make time to acknowledge the various different ways that people worship. Not only that, but because there are those who think that other religions are wrong and that theirs is not. The language barrier is a problem because with people coming from so many different places, whether they were born here or not, means that everyone does not speak the same language. There is English, French, and Spanish among others. While there is a language barrier, people do tend to use sign language as a way to express what they need or want. Racism is another problem that needs to be addressed in the United States. There is so much hate crime going on due to racism and people need to stop being so blinded by what happened in the past and start looking to the future. We need to start teaching our kids that everyone is a person, and because they look or speak differently than we do, doesn't mean that they are really all that different. It just means that there is something new to learn. Learning about others religions and backgrounds will make a person more knowledgeable about things and knowledge is power.
While there are challenges of being a diverse society, there are also benefits. These benefits could be learning new things and teaching acceptance of and about others. Learning the ways of different cultures, such as the foods, languages and customs or traditions could be beneficial because it teaches us about our neighbors. It also teaches acceptance not only for different races and cultures, but also for the gay and lesbian community and even from the bi-racial families. We can learn so much from all of the differences of a diverse society.

Through its exquisite work with matter, both liquid and solid, La Cristallerie des Parfums consistently demonstrates its attachment to the outstanding crafts legacy of French luxury. With its new collection, the young label from Paris breaks new olfactory grounds.
While its first collection called forth images from a child's enchanted garden, a wonderful reminiscence of summers spent on the Dalmatian coast, this second creation brings to life a bewitching, spirited forest.
In that blossoming forest, the oud is transformed, opening up unsuspected creative possibilities. Its base is present but does not dominate the work, as the raw material is sculpted and polished like crystal.
The scent signature of this collection is rooted in a wooden-flowery universe that transcends the wooden range. The fragrances are set in glass flacons, elegantly tinted in muted tones and topped with black ash wood caps – as it's a hymn to nature, all the wood comes from self-sustainable forests in Europe, as much wood that is used is planted back!
Our new collection is available online and at Jovoy Paris.

Falling for the Sun: Heart-Shaped Sunspot Thrills Astrophotographer
By Nina Sen 2016-06-08T22:21:06Z
Astrophotographer John Chumack. captured the heart-shaped sunspot from his backyard Observatory in Dayton, Ohio on April 12, 2016.

You can't help falling in love with the recent sunspot AR2529 and that's exactly what happened to astrophotographer John Chumack.
Chumack captured the heart-shaped sunspot from his backyard Observatory in Dayton, Ohio on April 12.
"I caught sunspot AR2529 flaring at lunch time in this close-up view," he wrote in an email to Space.com. "[It] looks like a dachshund dog face with folded over ears or a heart."
The sunspot was large enough to hold two Earthsas it crossed the face of the sun in April, making it a great target for amateur astronomers to safely observe.
Warning: NEVER look directly at or photograph the sun unless you have the proper protective equipment. Serious and permanent eye damage can result.
Sunspots are dark patches on the surface of the sun that are a bit cooler than surrounding areas. As the term "active region" suggests, sunspots serve as launchpads for solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — huge eruptions that send clouds of solar plasma racing into space at millions of miles per hour.

What Can Saskatchewan Be The Best In The World At? - Cupcakes & Websites!
We can be the best in the world at building websites if we start teaching people younger and younger to build websites. Recently at Strategy Lab's Big Idea Camp, someone asked if an elementary student could come, our response? Why not?
On competitiveness of Saskatchewan in the future, rather than sending our technical jobs overseas or out of province, we want to train the next generation of business folks at the youngest age possible. Born is Cupcakes & Websites: a Canadian High School Company. An affordable way to get a website and to keep it maintained.
In the future we'll be the best at something. Maybe it's websites! Maybe it's not!
We're giving students the chance to learn a skillset that will increase in value over time. We push our team to shoot for their personal best because that's all we can expect. As long as you never become the "expert" you'll never fall into the trap of "I don't need to learn anymore".

PhD PhD event
By Bjørn Østman on 10/07/2010 06:55:00 AM
If you're in CA (still), here's an event at Biola "University" that might be great fun to go to.
God And Evolution:
Protestants, Catholics, and Jews Explore Darwin's Challenge to Faith
with Marvin Olasky, Ph.D., Jonathan Wells, Ph.D., Ph.D., Jay Richards, Ph.D., Denyse O'Leary, John West, Ph.D., David Klinghoffer, Casey Luskin, J.D., Craig J. Hazen, Ph.D., John Bloom, Ph.D., Ph.D.
(Free for students and pastors - the very people they want to "educate".)
I can't get over Jonathan Wells and his two PhDs. They're in religious studies and molecular and cell biology. He got his second one in science after being told by Reverend Sun Myung Moon to go fight Darwinism.
It's got no one on that list of speakers who are not Intelligent Design advocates, so it's basically a pad-ourselves-on-the-back event, where there will be no opposition to the delusions of these usual suspects, so I don't know how interesting it really would be to go.
Ryan Anderson October 07, 2010 8:46 AM
It's also sponsored by the Discovery Institute, which gives a good indication of the overall politics behind this.
yokohamamama October 07, 2010 4:31 PM
I had heard that Wells actually went out and got a second PhD in cell and molecular biology. How does a man intelligent enough to get a PhD in C&M Bio deal with all the cognitive dissonance?
Bjørn Østman October 08, 2010 6:06 AM
Only the super-talented by be wrong, deny the evidence, and deal with cognitive dissonance at that level.

EU Should Regulate Artificial Intelligence to Protect Rights
Privacy, Non-Discrimination, and Social Security Safeguards Needed
Amos Toh
Senior Researcher, Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights
@AmosToh
European Union flags are waving in front of the headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels. August 5, 2020. © 2020 Laurie Dieffembacq (Sipa via AP Images)
The last decade has seen an alarming proliferation of artificial intelligence ("AI") to monitor protests, predict crime, and profile minorities, in ways that gravely threaten our human rights. The European Commission has pledged to develop groundbreaking regulation of these technologies that will "safeguard fundamental EU values and rights." In a letter published this week, Human Rights Watch joined more than sixty civil society and rights groups to hold the commission to its word, urging decisive action to prevent abusive applications of AI.
The letter highlights how the growing use of facial recognition can trigger widespread privacy abuses. This technology relies on machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, to infer people's identities from still images or video that capture their faces. When deployed in train stations, stadiums, and other public spaces, they are capable of tracking the identities and movements of entire crowds. This unprecedented form of mass surveillance could have a significant chilling effect on our rights to freedom of assembly and association.
Biases embedded in facial recognition algorithms also raise concern that they fuel discriminatory policing practices. Research shows that these algorithms are less likely to correctly identify the faces of people of color and women than those of white people and men, exposing the former to higher rates of misidentification and false accusations.
The letter also calls for measures to ensure that the automation of social security programs and other essential public services protects privacy and social security rights. In their bid to modernize aging welfare systems, a growing number of governments in and outside of Europe are building or procuring algorithms to help them verify people's eligibility for benefits, perform means testing, and detect fraud.
Ill-conceived algorithms have deprived people of their benefits and led to wrongful accusations of fraud. Last year, a Netherlands court ordered the government to suspend an automated risk assessment tool it was using to predict how likely people were to commit tax or benefits fraud, citing its lack of transparency and privacy concerns.
The European Commission has said that "the way we approach AI will define the world we live in," and it plans to publish its proposal for regulation in the first quarter of 2021. A clear rejection of disproportionate surveillance and similarly excessive methods of social control will help protect rights and avert a dystopian future.

Visit two picturesque Chinese towns, Suzhou and Zhouzhuang on a day trip from Shanghai. You'll see how daily life has remained unchanged over the centuries in these unique old towns. Visit the Suzhou's magnificent gardens, feast on a Chinese lunch and travel through Zhouzhuang's waterways on a Chinese-style gondola.
. Suzhou was one of the few cities in China to escape the ravages of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution and its famous gardens survived almost intact. Upon arrival in Suzhou, your first stop is the Net Master Garden, the town's best example of a model Ming Dynasty garden. The gardens embody the harmonious principles of Chinese garden construction, which dictate that gardens should re-create a microcosm of the universe in a confined space. After enjoying Suzhou's gardens, you'll view the town's ancient city wall and Grand Canal. You'll also take a tour of a silk-spinning factory to see how Chinese silk has been produced since the 14th century. After lunch, it's time to visit the water village of Zhouzhuang and board a Chinese-style gondola to cruise the town's beautiful waterways. Zhouzhuang's simple, well-preserved architecture dates back more than 900 years. The majority of residences were built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and nearly 100 classic courtyards and 60 carved-brick archways are still in use. In this water village, locals live their life on the waterways, continuing to carry out everyday activities on the water, from washing clothes to shopping from vendors in boats.

What's Missing in Product-Market Fit
Product-market fit is too narrow to account for the full scope of innovation
Salesforce.com didn't innovate on product-Siebel already invented it
Benioff combined SaaS and telesales go-to-market with an existing product idea
Developers need to understand business models and go-to-market to maximize impact
Product-market fit is one of the "secret" frameworks that powers disruptive startups in Silicon Valley. Marc Andreessen first shared the concept in an article titled, "The only thing that matters."
But looking at "product" alone as the key to innovation is too narrow of a window—one that can miss out on incredible opportunities.
Marc Benioff (the other famous tech "Marc") came up with the idea for Salesforce.com (SFDC), a company with over $100 billion in market cap in 2018, in a dream. Salesforce.com is a great example of all that is missing in product-market fit.
A long time ago, Siebel Systems established salesforce automation (SFA) as a major enterprise application—long before Marc started Salesforce.com. SFA is basically a glorified spreadsheet to track all the opportunities for salespeople in a company.
Salesforce.com, especially at the outset, didn't require any product innovation of significance.
The product had already been invented.
Marc Benioff's great innovation was a simple matter of addition: existing product + newish business model + bottom-up go-to-market (GTM) strategy.
The Big Opportunity
Benioff saw an enormous market opportunity. At its peak, Siebel sold nearly $2 billion a year with a market cap of $30 billion. Fort Knox, however, sat atop a rickety house of cards. Customers had to pay as much as $1.8 million in first-year costs to get the software deployed in-house, and then up to 65 percent of the licenses became shelfware—never deployed or used.
Prior to Salesforce.com, small technology companies already sold and marketed software over the Internet as application service providers (ASPs), but they mistimed the market and the maturity of networks, paddling out well before the wave began to crest.
Instead of selling software on-premises, Benioff sold software-as-a-service (SaaS) over the Internet: multi-tenant software hosted on his systems and sold by the drink in a subscription model.
He combined the newish business model with a different GTM strategy. Instead of using high-paid direct software salespeople to attack the world's biggest accounts, he initially offered freemium trials, targeting startups and small businesses, which converted to paid customers via telesales.
Product-Market Fit Is Not Enough
The product alone would not have yielded the market.
It was a matter of product + business model + GTM success, which forms the Innovation Triangle.
As a result, the key to innovation is to look not only at product but also at business model and go-to-market strategy, which comprises the Innovation Triangle.
For Salesforce.com, their early Innovation Triangle looked like this:
As developers, it's important to understand the full picture to ensure that our efforts align with maximum impact. That's why it's important to look beyond product-market fit to understand the full scope of innovation.
It's also one of the keys to going from a good developer to a great developer.
Parts of this article are excerpted with permission from a book on innovation titled, Disrupt or Die.

My tank has been circulating for 3 weeks now. Put in 21kg's of LR last Thursday!
If I get a permit from post office, what type of critters can I catch (if i get any in the rock pools) for my tank?
I will also appreciate pic's if possible. And how must i transport them, as it's about a 8 hours drive. Is it actually possible to bring them home alive? Has this been done by anyone?
What type of 'Critters' you after?
I want more of an anemone, invertebrae tank and less fish. Few clownfish, yellow tang, blennies and maybe some more fish that will go with this selection.
So i need critters that will adapt with above? or is it the other way around..
have a look at the rock pools in durban thread that i started, i am sure you will pick up a few pointers there !!
Since you going to be in Ballito, try Sheffield. Not too far away from Ballito,further north just past Salt Rock.
We are actually staying in Sheffield Beach... I noticed in the Rock pools in Durbs thread you said there are nice specimans there.
1. is the honey bottle method and 2. is the 10lt square bucket method.
I collect a day before i return to GT. I got 2 square 10lt buckets with lids for my waterchange so i take those along. I also take my spare heater, a mains and a battery operated air pump (i have those lying around) with the airstones and a small pump (just because i have it).
Once i collect the critters, i place in the bucket with the airstone and heater. This keeps water temp and air in your now small tank. When i leave the next day, i take out the heater and replace the mains air pump with the battery operated one. I wrap the bucket/s in an old blanket (those cheap R20 ones for the dogs) and drive up.
When i fly, i take 6 honey bottles in one of those stryofoam boxes that keeps your cool drink cool. Place my critters in them and enjoy the faces the gurads at the airport make when you take out a bottle containing a brittle star. those stryofoam boxes do keep the temp. You should also be able to drive up with your critters in honey bottles in a stryofoam box.
most important is your water temp and that there is O2.

Q: How to use multiple corpora files to use as parallel corpora in Watson Language Translator in Python The Watson Language Translator documentation says:
"A TMX file with parallel sentences for source and target language. You can upload multiple parallel_corpus files in one request. All uploaded parallel_corpus files combined, your parallel corpus must contain at least 5,000 parallel sentences to train successfully."
I have a number of corpora files which I would use to train my translation model. I've looked up possible ways to do so programmatically with no success.
The only way I found to do so is by merging them manually into one single file.
Is there any way to send several files as parallel corpus via the API?
Can you provide examples in Python or Curl?
Thanks.
The only thing which worked just yest is aggregating the .TMX files manually and sending just one file. I have not found any way of sending several files as parallel_corpora
with open("./training/my_corpus_SPA.TMX", "rb") as parallel:
custom_model = language_translation.create_model(
base_model_id = 'en-es',
name = 'en-es-base1xx',
#forced_glossary = glossary,
parallel_corpus = parallel).get_result()
print(json.dumps(custom_model, indent=2))

A: I think I found a solution in here
I tried this and it seems to work:
with open(corpus_fname1, 'rb') as parallel1, open(corpus_fname2, 'rb') as parallel2:
 custom_model = language_translation.create_model(
     base_model_id = base_model_es_en,
     name = model01_name,
     parallel_corpus = parallel1,
     parallel_corpus_filename2 = parallel2,
     forced_glossary=None).get_result()

Night in the Woods (zkráceně NITW ) je adventura pro jednoho hráče. Byla vyvinuta společností Infinite Fall, studiem založeným herním designérem Alecem Holowkou a animátorem/umělcem Scottem Bensonem a publikována společnosí Finji .

Jedná se o průzkumnou hru zaměřenou na příběh, ve které hráči ovládají mladou ženu jménem Mae, která nedávno opustila vysokou školu a vrátila se do svého rodného města, kde objevila neočekávané změny. Hra byla financována prostřednictvím crowdfundingové platformy Kickstarter, kde nakonec vydělala více než 400 % svého finančního cíle 50 000 dolarů.

Hra byla vydána pro systémy Microsoft Windows, MacOS, Linux a PlayStation 4 21. února 2017. Verze pro Xbox One byla vydána 13. prosince 2017, zatímco verze pro Nintendo Switch byla vydána 1. února 2018.

Rozšířená verze hry s názvem Weird Autumn edition byla vydána pro PC, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4 a Xbox One 13. prosince 2017 a pro Nintendo Switch 1. února 2018. Představuje nový obsah, který v původní hře nebyl. Night in the Woods získala značnou chválu od kritiků, převážně za svůj soundtrack, příběh, dialog a postavy.

Přehled
Mae se vrátila domů do Possum Springs - malého města v němž žijí zoomorfní lidé. Nyní žije v podkroví domu svých rodičů a zjišťuje, jak moc se její rodná obec změnila od dob uzavření uhelných dolů, přičemž odhalí spiknutí, které ji zavede do nedalekého lesa. Je nucena čelit strašlivému tajemství, které město skrývalo po celá desetiletí zahrnujíc nejen městský důl, ale související také s nedávným zmizením jejího dlouholetého přítele Caseyho. Jejími přáteli jsou Bea, cigarety kouřící krokodýl, hyperaktivní liška a její přítel z dětství Gregg a jeho partner, medvěd Angus. Magazín Paste uvádí jako témata, se kterými se hra zabývá: "duševní nemoci, deprese a pomalá smrt malého amerického města".

Q: How to retrieve child element of realtime database for Firebase I am making a chat app, I did chat function successfully. Now, I want to prevent duplicated username. So I need child element of Datasnapshot key.
My Firebase structure.

I defined Firebase db in main Activity:
  FirebaseDatabase db;

in onCreate
db=FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();

DatabaseReference dbref = db.getReference("Slitherio 1");
dbref.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
        Iterable<DataSnapshot> keys = dataSnapshot.getChildren();
        for(DataSnapshot key :keys){

            Log.d("key",key.getValue().toString());

        }

    }

    @Override
    public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

    }
});

key.getValue().toString() brings msg and name pairs.
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=hey, name=admin}
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=hello, name=SlitherP}
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=h, name=harry}
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=d, name=harry}
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=s, name=s}
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=d, name=d}
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=d, name=d}
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=selam, name=s}
01-21 19:18:57.168 15747-15747/gc.guideforslitherionohacknocheats D/key: {msg=ms, name=n}

But I want to bring just name of children elements.
How to retrieve name of children elements?

A: Create Message class
public class Message {
    private String msg;
    private String name;

    // Add getters and setters
}

Get value as Message
Message message = key.getValue(Message.class);
Log.d("key", message.getName());

A: Create a DatabaseReference in your activity:
DatabaseReference yourDBRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("ChildName");
//If you have more than one child in your firebase database.
DatabaseReference refwithinref = yourDBRef.child("ChildName1");

yourDBRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener(){
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapShot datasnapshot){
      String sample = datasnapshot.getValue(String.class);
      //Print the value of the child.
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),""+sample,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}});

(b) If, as to a defendant physician or health care provider, an expert report has not been served within the period specified by Subsection (a), the court, on the motion of the affected physician or health care provider, shall, subject to Subsection (c), enter an order that: (1) awards to the affected physician or health care provider reasonable attorney's fees and costs of court incurred by the physician or health care provider; and (2) dismisses the claim with respect to the physician or health care provider, with prejudice to the refiling of the claim. 74.351(a), plaintiffs› counsel sent an expert report and CV by certified mail to the defendant at five different locations. CHCA objected to the report as untimely, alleging that plaintiffs should have served their report within 120 days after filing their original petition in the first lawsuit. (6) "Expert report" means a written report by an expert that provides a fair summary of the expert's opinions as of the date of the report regarding applicable standards of care, the manner in which the care rendered by the physician or health care provider failed to meet the standard, and the causal relationship between that failure and the injury, harm, or damages claimed. Issue Does a finding that the expert reports adequately addressed one of plaintiff's theories, namely that the hospital was vicariously liable for the doctors' actions, suffice to salvage plaintiff's other claims of direct liability against the hospital and vicarious liability for actions of the nurses? One hundred sixteen days later, they nonsuited their claim. 2002), the Supreme Court of Texas spelled out the expert report requirements contained in the predecessor to § 74.351, which was Tex. Defendant hospital appealed, complaining of the finding that the reports were adequate as to causation. Therefore, while the Act requires a claimant to file a timely and adequate expert report as to each defendant in a health care liability claim, it does not require an expert report as to each liability theory alleged against that defendant. W.3d at 45, citing Facts Plaintiffs filed suit against CHCA on April 2, 2009, seeking damages for their child's birth injury.The date for serving the report may be extended by written agreement of the affected parties. Issue Given that the statute neither expressly allows nor expressly prohibits tolling of the expert-report period in the event of a claimant's nonsuit, does such a nonsuit prior to the expiration of the deadline to serve a report suspend the running of that deadline until the refiling of suit? The Court agreed with plaintiffs' contention that construing the expert-report requirement to prohibit tolling in the event of a nonsuit would interfere with their absolute right to nonsuit the claims in the first lawsuit, and that the statute's plain language does not evince such legislative intent. Interpreting the statute in favor of tolling encourages plaintiffs to nonsuit voluntarily those claims that appear to lack merit early in the litigation process, without penalizing them for doing so should additional investigation strengthen those claims.
Section 74.351 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code mandates the early service of expert reports to provide adequate notice to each defendant of the claims being asserted, and to deter the filing of frivolous claims: (a) In a health care liability claim, a claimant shall, not later than the 120 day after the date each defendant's original answer is filed, serve on that party or the party's attorney one or more expert reports, with a curriculum vitae of each expert listed in the report for each physician or health care provider against whom a liability claim is asserted. Plaintiffs contended, and the trial court and Court of Appeals agreed, that the nonsuit tolled the running of the 120-day period, and that plaintiffs still had four days from the date of refiling to serve an expert report. Acceptance of defendant's argument would require service of an expert report while no lawsuit was pending, which would give rise to a host of procedural complications. In so doing, the Court proffered various maxims that remain incumbent on courts charged with interpreting purported expert reports: A. Plaintiff filed a third report by a pediatric neurologist, to which the hospital objected on the basis that it did not set out any acts of alleged negligence on the part of the hospital or a causal connection between any alleged negligence and the injury. Therefore the Court of Appeals remanded to the trial court for consideration of a further thirty-day extension to cure the deficiencies found on appeal. 2013), the Texas Supreme Court had held that an expert report satisfying Chapter 74 requirements as to a defendant, even if it addresses only one theory of liability alleged against that defendant, enables the entire suit to proceed. However, the reports were deemed not to address nursing standards of care or breaches of those standards with regard to the vicarious liability claims based on the nurses› actions. That same day, they served CHCA with an expert report.
Just over two years thereafter, they filed a new lawsuit against CHCA and other providers.

Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis
State of the Team: Philadelphia Eagles
Photo: USA Today Sports Images
20 Apr 2013, 07:43pm by Andy Benoit
by Andy Benoit
The 2013 "State of the Team" articles will run daily through the NFL draft. These offer a snapshot look at a team's roster, with players classified by color based on how they fit their role. My analysis is based on film study, not statistics, although we will try to note when my judgment differs significantly from FO's advanced stats, and explain a little bit why. Starters are in bold, and you will notice that many units are listed with 12 starters rather than just 11. This denotes the extra playing time that nickelbacks and third receivers usually get in today's NFL.
Color Legend:
Jury's still out
No longer on the team
Some players colored pink as "just a guy" are younger low-round picks who just haven't seen much playing time, but keep in mind that 99 percent of the time, there's a negative reason why such a player has rarely seen the field.
Players colored red as "upgrade needed" are not necessarily bad players. Sometimes, this simply means the player is a decent backup who should not be starting.
Since I generally don't do analysis on special teams, those categorizations are based strictly on FO stats, with any comments written by Aaron Schatz. We're only listing kickers and punters, as most teams go into training camp without specific players set as return specialists.
Click here for an archive of all State of the Team articles.
It's a new day in Philadelphia. Football America –- college and pro alike –- is eager to see how well Chip Kelly's rapid-paced offense can work in the NFL. Kelly's spread, space-oriented zone concepts are an extreme version of what a lot of the league is trending towards right now. We know those extremes work well against college defensive players and schemes. What will it take for them to successfully translate to the pros?
QB: Michael Vick, Dennis Dixon, Nick Foles; Lost: Trent Edwards
RB: LeSean McCoy, Bryce Brown, Stanley Havili (FB); Lost: Dion Lewis
In Kelly's system, the quarterback must be mobile. That's non-negotiable, and it's the reason why Foles will not win the starting job here. The question is whether Vick can handle the reins. He's not as explosive as he once was, but he obviously remains one of the most mobile signal-callers in the game. Simply being able to run around is not enough, though. Kelly's quarterback must make multiple reads on the move and disciplined decisions. Sound mechanics are usually needed to facilitate this. There's no sense debating whether Vick can perform this role. His past three years as the starter in Philly, as well as his body of work before that, provide a clear answer: no –- not overall, anyway. Sometimes, Vick can thrive in Kelly's system. More often than not, he'll be erratic or injured.
A player who will thrive in this system is McCoy. His stop/start quickness and agile change-of-direction make him an ideal fit. Behind McCoy, Brown is a very good downhill runner who surprises by having enough speed to turn the corner. He needs to look to turn the corner less often, though. He abandoned too many inside play designs last season and also fumbled way too much.
WR: DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant, Arrelious Benn, Greg Salas
TE: Brent Celek, James Casey, Clay Harbor
Jackson and Maclin are both shifty, space-oriented receivers, but they're not perfect fits for the scheme. as both are much better vertically than horizontally. Neither is a particularly enthusiastic blocker, which will hurt the run game. This isn't to say they are an inadequate duo –- we're talking about two talented players, after all. But Kelly will likely be frustrated with them at times. It was a little curious for the Eagles to acquire Benn considering they already had a superior possession target in Avant. The veteran slot man will play a prominent role in this system. So will Celek and Casey, as short area receivers, anyway. (Neither will be counted on to block much.) Celek is more accomplished, but Casey may prove to be the better player in this system, as he's a little more flexible in his movement running underneath routes.
LT: Jason Peters LG: Evan Mathis C: Jason Kelce RG: Dennis Kelly RT: Todd Herremans
Backups: Danny Watkins, Dallas Reynolds; Lost: King Dunlap, Demetress Bell
Peters and Kelce are potential Pro Bowlers coming off very serious injuries. There's a rumor that Mathis is an upper-tier guard. In reality, he's average, thanks mainly to having only average power. The Mathis rumor was probably started by the same impressionable people who believe that, just because Danny Watkins was a "blue-collar firefighter" and way too old to warrant a first-round pick, he was guaranteed to step in and immediately succeed at right guard. Obviously, that hasn't been the case. Kelly has an intriguing foundation of raw talent in regards to playing the right side; it's a matter of whether that talent can be cultivated. Herremans is a classic "solid-but-not-spectacular" guy.
Last season's disaster is in the past. The cornerbacking trio that once defined this "Dream Team" has completely dissipated, as Asante Samuel, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Nnamdi Asomugha all wound up leaving on disappointing notes. New coordinator Billy Davis is installing a fresh 3-4 scheme, which makes sense considering Philly's abundance of athletic edge rushers. In all likelihood, Davis' 3-4 will feature a lot of 4-3 tactics, as most 3-4's these days like to use one-gap concepts. Of course, it won't matter what Davis does if the Eagles' secondary isn't good enough to stay above water.
DE: Fletcher Cox, Cedric Thornton, Clifton Geathers Lost: Darryl Tapp, Cullen Jenkins
DT: Isaac Sopoaga, Antonio Dixon; Lost: Derek Landri, Mike Patterson
Cox and Thornton are young, but there's a lot to like about them. Cox has the sleek and powerful build to play a J.J. Watt-type role (though obviously he likely will not be as dominant as Watt). Thornton brings good strength and burst to the table. Sopoaga is a natural clogger who can move. The only concern up front –- and it's a valid one –- is depth.
OLB: Trent Cole, Connor Barwin, Brandon Graham, Vinny Curry, Emmanuel Acho
[ad placeholder 3]
ILB: DeMeco Ryans, Mychal Kendricks, Jason Phillips, Casey Matthews, Jamar Chaney; Lost: Akeem Jordan
Cole has never played out of a two-point stance, but the unknown there doesn't outweigh his well-known body of work. He's been as impressive an all-around force as any edge player in the game over the past five years. Barwin proved his mettle in this scheme as a member of the Texans. If for some reason he doesn't pan out, Graham has flashed star-level talent, while Curry has second-round talent that he's eager to show off. Inside, there has to be some concern about Ryans. If he were great in a 3-4, Houston would have never traded him to Philadelphia in the first place. Kendricks is an impressive space-oriented player, but can he take on blocks and be physical between the hash marks? More importantly, will he be a sound cover artist inside? As a rookie he was impressive on the outside in this department early on, but stumbled a bit down the stretch.
CB: Cary Williams, Bradley Fletcher, Brandon Boykin, Curtis Marsh; Lost: Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
S: Kenny Phillips, Patrick Chung, Kurt Coleman, Colt Anderson, Nate Allen
Well, at least members of this group weren't acquired for tens of millions or high draft picks. Williams' only chance at prospering as the leading corner is if he's behind a potent pass rush. The later in the down it gets, the more likely he is to give up separation, particularly on comebackers outside. (This is true with all corners, of course, but especially true with him.) Fletcher was iffy as a No. 3 in St. Louis, so why would anyone expect him to be adequate as a No. 2 here? Boykin has the potential to be a fine slot defender. At safety, Phillips and Chung are both hard hitters, but prone to getting hurt while they throw their bodies around. If one goes down, Anderson should get the nod. He was actually much better than Coleman and Allen last season.
K: Alex Henery; P: Donnie Jones; Lost: Mat McBriar
Last year when David Akers set the all-time record for hitting field goals, Eagles fans were pretty angry that the team had let Akers go and drafted Henery to replace him. How are they feeling now?

It makes more sense than Cedric Thornton rating as good, he was only elevated from the practice squad for five weeks and has a solitary sack to his name.
by Tim Wilson // Apr 21, 2013 - 2:28pm
Similarly, I don't understand the Cole rating or commentary. Are we ignoring his 2012? Seems odd to score him based on his average level over the last 5 years and not weight the recent past more heavily.

Curious...pff rated evan mathis as their highest ranked guard in 2012 and very high in 2011. I know their system is flawed to a degree...but they are grading every player by the tape.

In reply to Re: State of the Team: Philadelphia Eagles by theslothook
Yeah... that "rumor" definitely started with Pro Football Focus.
I've never really had much time for PFF's grades (though some of their stats are quite handy, even if they aren't measuring what they think they are i.e. yards per route run), they don't really know what they're doing and as Scott Pioli pointed out during that panel discussion at the Sloan Analytics conference, it really isn't possible to give useful grades without knowing the assignments. However, I made a point of watching Mathis closely after they rated him so highly and they had a point, he is remarkably consistent. He might not maul people but he gets the job done play after play. He doesn't drive tackles five yards down the field but his man will always be blocked and he never misses his assignment. Not flashy but very good.
But they are the same people that anointed Chilo Rachal as the best young guard in the NFL.

In reply to Re: State of the Team: Philadelphia Eagles by Karl Cuba
I agree that PFF's ratings will always have an asterisk by them because they can only judge the result (and not the intention), but I don't see that as a reason to dismiss them all together. The stats the FO and every other site uses do not measure intention either, but they are still clearly useful. Other than when a team is judging its own player, how often does a scout/coach/general manager have insider knowledge of a player's assignment? Not often (if ever). But it can usually be inferred from watching the result.
In reply to Re: State of the Team: Philadelphia Eagles by Austintacious (not verified)
However, you would at least expect a coach. Scout or general manager to know what he was doing. PFF grades are compiled by amateurs. You or I could be one, they were advertising for 'scouts' a couple of weeks ago. Under those conditions it is close to absurd that they hand out quantitative grades, so the asterisk should really be quite large. Their analysis is qualitative at best but is so often referenced on comment boards and sometimes by professional journalists, to their shame, without any caveats at all.
I think you are being a bit harsh. THey've been doing this now for 5 years and they do cross check this with scouts to ensure there is a measure of quality control. Look, I'm not out to be their biggest cheerleaders, but what they've done feels appropriate. And they are used by nfl teams and nfl agents so if they were so ridiculous - then why would anyone care what they have to say.
Karl - I think you're being dismissive and far too harsh.
by Karl Cuba // Apr 22, 2013 - 4:10pm
I said above that I do think some of what they do is useful but I really don't like the way they hand out numerical grades. If they were being qualitative, handing out grades like blue-chip, red-chip I would have less of a problem but when some journalist (like Peter King) begins to attack or defend someone because PFF gave them a 24.5 or a -13 then I think they're overreaching their level of expertise.
I still don't understand why you are so dismissive of their ratings. They're paid for their work so by definition they are not amateurs. You attack them because they "don't know what they're doing" yet give no specifics. Coaching and judging (which is what I really think they do) are two different skill sets. Sites like this have proven time and again that you don't have to be an industry insider to understand the game.
I'm not trying to be dismissive but I think the grading portion of their work is weak. Just because they generate sufficient revenue from adverts and subscriptions to pay people to review games does not necessarily mean that those people possess the skills to accurately dispense grades.
I think a more useful definition would be whether or not their graders have any professional scouting, coaching or front office experience. As far as I know, they don't have anyone like that.
FO and some of the other stats sites are different because they're not using subjective assessments, their methods are objective. 'Judging' might be a different skill to coaching (though I'm not sure what you mean) but it should be informed by knowledge and relevant experience or it's pretty meaningless.
I do admire their ability to turn around their stats relatively quickly. There I've said something nice.
by Dan // Apr 22, 2013 - 10:50pm
PFF also has more "objective stats" - for pass blocking, they count sacks, hits, and hurries and calculate a version of pressure rate (which they call Pass Blocking Efficiency). Mathis was 6th out of 50 guards this year in Pass Blocking Efficiency, and 11th out of 55 last year. The only players who ranked ahead of him both years were Yanda & Sitton.

" they count sacks, hits, and hurries and calculate a version of pressure rate'
But this falls under the same issue; they don't have people who know enough to tell whether a sack was the LG getting beat, the Center calling out the wrong protection and the LG trying to catch an uncovered guy, or just a nice call.
In reply to Re: State of the Team: Philadelphia Eagles by Anonymousse (not verified)
Or the qb failing to identify a hot read responsibility, or the receiver not breaking off his route, or the back sliding the wrong way and on and on...
Mental errors like this are about as bad a mistake as can be made, you get beaten cleanly rather than overpowered more slowly, then the PFF grades and stats start to look rather dodgy. It's the same problem with coverage responsibilities, when a receiver hands off coverage to a safety that isn't there, who is at fault? Did the linebacker let the safety down by failing to get enough depth in the drop. A can of worms they decided didn't need opening.
You realize some of the same problems exist when opposing coaches watch the game film? They themselves are not privy to the exact blocking assignments/ qb first reads etc. They aren't privy to the exact progressions nor can they be sure who made the spacing mistake. This is also true when team's pour over tapes of the draft.
by Dictionary Fan (not verified) // Apr 23, 2013 - 4:04pm
Why would a team want to pour tapes over anything?
That last sentence is one of the worst attempts at writing English I've ever seen.
In reply to Re: State of the Team: Philadelphia Eagles by Dictionary Fan (not verified)
The worst attempts at writing English that you've ever seen? Really? As far as I can tell, I inadvertently added an apostrophe after team, which should have been teams not team's. And I had a malapropism for pour which should have been pore. Easy there with the hyperbole.
In 'The Games that Changed the Game' Jaworski and Cosell point out the futility of attempting to grade in this manner without knowing the assignment. I've also read of an NFL team that was looking to bolster their offensive line in free agency so their coaches and front office sat down to try to compile a database of every offensive lineman in the league. They rapidly abandoned the attempt because they couldn't accurately determine what the assignments were. These were trained, professional, NFL personnel.
NFL coaches will work out as much as they can from opponent's previous games but I doubt that even they work out everything, in part because teams change things around and disguise what they are doing.
And college coaches routinely answer queries about their players for NFL teams because getting their players drafted helps them to recruit.
Last I'm saying, PFF's grades just aren't for me.
Heres the real problem i have Karl. You've pointed out their flaws. Fine. But they have their positives but you somehow believe their flaws well outweigh the positives. In essence, their grades are more misleading than revealing, almost like you believe we shouldn't trust their numbers or their grades because your just as likely to find a player graded accurately as you are to find a player whos graded poorly by them but in actuality is a great player. I just don't buy that. I think they get it right mostly. If you think about it, Cossell isn't a pro scout but I know nfl people have talked to him. He even said, football isn't complicated - but it is very detailed. And btw, they have talked to nfl people too. They get invited into press boxes and team training camps. They are recognized by the nfl and quoted by agents and personnel people for a reason.
You think it's worthwhile, I don't and you are not going to convince me. Hand them your cash if you like.
Have you read this:
https://www.profootballfocus.com/about/grading/
"If you're not 95 percent sure what's gone on then don't grade the player for that play. The grades must stand up to scrutiny and criticism, and it's far better to say you're not sure than be wrong." Seriously? So on plays where something has gone wrong because you can't work out who should have picked up the pass rusher no grade is awarded? That's precisely where a grade is important. At this point they were happily handing out grades to safeties despite being unable to see what they were doing, which I find mind boggling.
"Just like with the more mainstream statistics, there are occasions when the choice is difficult. But the difference on our site is this: If a guy is going to be upgraded or downgraded on a judgment call, we let it ride. We simply make the comment and then put in a 0." Again, gibberish.
"Our player participation data has been confirmed as being 99 percent accurate, and we firmly believe that we are more than 90 percent accurate in our grading of individual plays." I think their player participation has probably got a lot better since the NFL released access to the all-22 but they used to make the same claim back when an NFL journalist told me that an agent had revealed that their player participation data was wrong 25% of the time, with the direct implication that they were grading the wrong players. 90% accurate grades are not really helpful, even if they are close to their own estimate for their figure. I don't need their help to work out that JJ Watt is a great player or that Adam Snyder has problems, most players lie in the middle range of ability, covered by their 10% error boundary (and I doubt that estimate).
"We've been commended by NFL players for the accuracy of our grading and told we are "light years" ahead of anything available elsewhere in media circles." I've also seen players saying that their belief in their ability to make judgements is absurd.
This makes an amusing read too:
https://www.profootballfocus.com/about/history/
And you too could have added to the highly accurate grading system:
https://www.profootballfocus.com/about/get-involved/
Where you can receive, "payment based on work done in-season depending on accuracy." Accuracy compared to what? The grades assembled by Neil Horsnby, a bloke from the north of England with no american football experience whatsoever?
Cosell isn't a pro scout but he has thirty years of experience watching coaching film, questioning coaches the whole time. You can't compare his know how with that cobbled together by PFF. Aaron Schatz gets invited into press boxes and while I love his work here I wouldn't trust him to grade players in the manner PFF do.
I said earlier on that some of their work has some merit but it's much, much more qualitative than they present it to be. And I have seen them declare awful players as great (Rachal) and also spot good players who were not widely appreciated. Their work should be looked at with a pinch of salt.
Sigh...you're going to make me dig up all of their testimonials now to argue back...we'll just agree to disagree. I use them as a gauge, I never think they are the final word either. Just as FO's words aren't the final factor for who the best team is. One might conclude dvoa is completely useless since it has now failed to accurately predict the post season time and time and time again. Still, both are valuable in the right context, even if I concede that FO is better at what it attempts to do than Pff.

Are Maclin and Jackson really green?
I mean, I know starting receivers have in general gotten pretty good colors on your system, but both Green?
Have they really proved themselves in some way that I'm missing. Certainly their quarterback situation was worse than most other receivers last year, but they scored worse than Devone Bess (black), Kevin Ogletree (who knows), Nate Washington (black), Kevin Walter (black?), Brandon Lafell (black), Emmanuel Sanders (black), T.Y Hilton (orange), and Danario Alexander (black) in DVOA and DYAR. Also, Jackson is less than Andre Roberts (black), Earl Bennet (pink?), and they are both worse than Cecil Shorts (black), not sure that all of those represent significant quarterback upgrades (maybe Bennet, but... as I said, pink?).
As far as raw talent, I don't see anything that distinguishes them in any appreciable way from Jacoby Jones (black).

One is allowed to do more than simply look at last year's numbers when formulating judgments.
Do you really think all of the receivers you list are better than DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin? I don't. I would argue that Jackson was on the cusp of blue a couple seasons ago, but that the disaster of the past two years has dropped him to green. Maclin has never been quite as scary as Jackson, but he's also been more consistent. So yeah, I would be content to have both of them rated higher than all of the guys you list. Shorts might establish himself this season as a real deal, but none of those other guys is really scary.

by Kaelik (not verified) // Apr 21, 2013 - 6:37am
No, I don't think all the black and orange receivers I listed are BETTER THAN Maclin and Jackson. I think some of them are on pretty much the same level as the two, certainly Maclin in terms of talent.
I do think that all or the vast majority of the greens so far are better than Maclin, and probably Jackson too. Yes, I think Hakeem Nicks, Micheal Crabtree, Marques Colston, ect.
I also think that some of the better blacks and oranges look about as good as Jackson, and better than Maclin.
What that means to me is that Jackson is either the highest black or the lowest green. Or alternatively, that he hasn't proved himself, because there are legitimate doubts if his talent is being used well. I assume Dez Bryant would have been orange this time last year, so Jackson being the same is no serious slight.
Maclin seems just black.
Now, if you have any actual arguments for why they belong where they are (or Andy), that would be great, but if your only argument is a failure to understand that I greens are supposed to be better than blacks, not the other way around, then that isn't a very good argument.
But quite frankly, Maclin is worse than every single green that I actually watch enough to be comfortable talking about. And as for his talent, he hasn't shown me he can do anything that Jacoby Jones can't do just as well. And if it is jsut as well, then he shouldn't be ranked better.
by jonnyblazin // Apr 21, 2013 - 12:03pm
I would take Maclin and Jackson over every one of the WR's listed. Especially Jacoby Jones, who isn't a good route runner and has bad hands.
by RickD // Apr 21, 2013 - 4:51pm
It's not my rating system. But usually when you hear people say
"X is rated higher than Y and that's unfair" they are implying that Y should be rated higher than X. So I was wondering if you thought any of those guys was actually better than Jackson or Maclin.
And, more generally, I don't believe in players ever being "equal". But that's a philosophical point for another day.
Wait, your argument comes down to "I think that some of the better blacks and oranges look about as good as Jackson, and better than Maclin", but that I was somehow "a failure to understand that I greens are supposed to be better than blacks, not the other way around, then that isn't a very good argument."
So, simultaneously, it's my fault for not understanding that you weren't saying that these guys are better than Jackson and Maclin. But really, you are saying that anyway.
Make a decision, and please, don't just get persnickety about boundary definitions. I know what categories are, and equivalence classes, and yada yada yada.
by Kaelik (not verified) // Apr 21, 2013 - 7:29pm
Usually when you see ranking systems, they don't rank 64 people into 6 categories.
In this case, yes, you were saying that I had to believe that blacks are better than Maclin and Jackson to justify them not being Green. That is wrong. If the blacks are just as good, they should be blacks, not green.
And again, no, I am not saying that the blacks and oranges are better than Maclin and Jackson, I am saying they are approximately equal, and that both are much lower than greens.
So yes, if you keep insisting that Maclin/Jackson being equivalent to Torrey Smith/Jacoby Jones means that Maclin and Jackson should be greens while they are blacks, then I'm going to keep pointing out that makes no sense, and it is in fact a problem that Maclin and Jackson are both much worse than other greens.
by Sifter // Apr 21, 2013 - 5:38am
I'm with you. I can buy Jackson as a green. I get the impression he's pretty feared by opposing CBs and coaches, even if his numbers don't bear out a 'good' player. But Maclin has turned into an overhyped possession receiver who can't block too well, and who tends to fall down after a catch rather than trying to run. He's the opposite of DeSean, seemingly productive, but I feel he's been a major disappointment. Mac had a couple of productive games late in the season with Foles at QB though, maybe that will be a catalyst for improvement. However, it's telling to me that Maclin's contract hasn't been extended, and it will be even more telling if the Eagles draft a WR in the first 3 rounds later this week - which they should in my opinion. One that better fits the Kelly scheme.
by cisforcookie (not verified) // Apr 21, 2013 - 12:10pm
I know I'm going to sound silly, but I think maclin is a (lowish)top 15 receiver in the nfl who happens to be trapped on a team that doesn't suit his talents. If he played for the steelers, he'd be an afc pro bowl alternate. instead he's stuck on a franken-team where none of the parts seem to have any coherent symphony. Now that the team has paid desean jackson, I'm hoping they let maclin walk. There are a bunch of teams in the nfl where he could be a centerpiece and a star.

by bubqr // Apr 21, 2013 - 2:44am
Ill fire away:
Mathis is green. Im sorry but while he s not a mauler he does not make mistakes,is very good in Pass pro and that by itself makes you good.
Thornton green is a bit of a shock. I like his potential, but he has not proved anything yet
Vinny Curry has bulked up to play DE.
Fletcher didnt play because of his contract status, the youth movement and the emergence of JJenkins. For someone who works off tape this sentence just looks bad
I love Trent Cole to death, but considering his last season and the switch to some OLB in base defense, blue is too much.
You sound pretty confident in your knowledge of Chip's offense in the NFL, and dismissal of Foles chances
by the cat in the… (not verified) // Apr 21, 2013 - 4:13am
I concur on the upvotes for Mathis, he's really good and was the only thing holding that line together at all last year. Time and again I'd see him making a really good block only for the backups around him whiffing horribly.
As for Nick Foles, it's a shame to see FO falling too easily into line with the commonly-believed rumour (ahem) that Kelly needs really fast QBs- if you actually look at the guys who have won games for him at the college level, it's not all running QBs. I'm not saying he wouldn't value mobility but to think 'slow qb=cannot function in Chip Kelly's offense' is just plain wrong.
Oh, and you missed off Chris Polk from the RBs, whilst including FB Stanley Havili, who's gone. Early indications are that they might use a fullback in the traditional sense. That's quite an interesting schematic point I'd have thought, but this review seems to have missed it. Surely it's not that hard to check who's actually on the team?

Look, I know that you guys do these reports on all teams in the league, and so not all of them are winners, but this was pretty bad. I'm not going to harp on the Evan Mathis thing; that's your observation, and different viewers/sites/systems like different players (PFF loves Mathis, but thinks Kelce is a scrub, you obviously feel the opposite). But this felt like a Bleacher Report piece. When you condescend as you did with the Mathis dig, then you had better have your ducks in a row, and you clearly didn't.
Your analysis on Kelly's system is superficial, you had Havili on the team, and you left 2 receivers off the list who logged a significant amount of plays. Cooper in particular had good chemistry with Foles, and so leaving him off the depth chart was pretty lame.
If I didn't know any better, I might think this was bitterness over your system overrating the Eagles, and you (the royal you) having to explain their DVOA hiccups.
by Southern Philly // Apr 22, 2013 - 9:18am
As noted above, Havili is no longer on the team. It's not that big of a deal except you listed the guy he was traded for, Clifton Geathers. Who was jettisoned by the worst defense in the league, a 3-4 defense, but is listed as an adequate player here in a 3-4 defense. That doesn't make sense.
Also as noted above, Vinny Curry is a DE. That too is sloppy work.
Bryce Brown started four games and isn't "jury's still out?" That doesn't make sense.
"It was a little curious for the Eagles to acquire Benn considering they already had a superior possession target in Avant." It's a little curious you would write this. Benn, along with Phillips and Jones was acquired to help shore up the special teams. Benn might take Riley Cooper's spot, who you don't have listed but do have Greg Salas, who is on his third team in 2 years after not cutting it on St. Louis' weak WR core, and he's listed as an adequate player. That too makes no sense.
And I'll pile on that your comment on Mathis is petty.

Stanley Havali was traded to the Colts two weeks ago. Chris Polk is the third RB. I would say that Evan Mathis is more than just adequate, since he was one of the best rated linemen the last two seasons by ProFootballtalk. Also the Jury should still be out on Chung and Fletcher as well.

He might be the best fit for their offense out of this years mediocre crop, but if the Eagles draft E.J. Manuel, they're just prolonging their ride on Quarterback Roulette. The day they benched Donovan against Baltimore, they hopped on the wheel and haven't had sustained high level QB play since (easy to see with hindsight). Manuel isn't going to change that. It just means they'll be looking again in 2015 and it'll be 2017 at the earliest before you can think of them as a contender.

Very much at ease with these old acquaintances, Rampling reveals her views on aging, beauty, desire and death with disarming frankness. Often these conversations veer into the questions raised by her films, like the taboo sexuality of The Night Porter and Max mon Amour, or the tough moral choices of Sidney Lumet's The Verdict.
This "haunting and captivating" (LA Times) portrait was an official selection of the Cannes Film Festival and features clips from many of Rampling's films (including Woody Allen's Stardust Memories and François Ozon's Swimming Pool), showing the breadth and depth of her talent. THE LOOK is a revelatory documentary that deeply explores the mind and work of one of the greatest artists of the past 40 years.
"FASCINATING! Ms. Rampling is presented as an endlessly watchable mystery..." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"The exceedingly talented star of The Night Porter and Under the Sand holds captivating court in Angelina Maccarone's come-into-my-world documentary portrait... It's a pleasure to be in her company." - Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York
Official Selection: Cannes International Film Festival (Cannes Classics)

We would like to start this initiative up again! If you wish to nominate a project for the Community Spotlight, or volunteer to update an older FactSheet, send us info.
The DLF Community Spotlight is a occasional web-series that targets projects, services and programs that address net-scale solutions and demonstrate intra-institutional collaboration. The goal of this series is to communicate the basic facts about large scale, multi-partner initiatives happening across the library and IT communities in Higher Education.
FactSheets is a CLIR/DLF publication created for the Committee on Coherence at Scale for Higher Education. FactSheets are provided via the DLF Community Spotlight series. The publications are short, consumer reports style analysis written in a clear and direct impartial voice to distill out the prominent features of these projects and the problems they are trying to solve in a concise, no-spin manner.
The FactSheets publications series is intended to help administrators, practitioners, and even funders to understand the landscape and to see how some initiatives could conceptually fit together or relate to one another, as well as the features that distinguish the projects as unique.
