What can past results tell us about pinpointing top performers on a weekly basis?
Like in season-long fantasy leagues, kickers and defense/special teams (D/ST) units have been the least valued commodities in daily fantasy football. Not only are they not as exciting to follow, but they're cheap, carry capped ceilings and -- maybe most of all -- unpredictable.
For the 2018 NFL season, FanDuel has done DFS players a solid by abolishing the highly volatile (and long hated) kicker position. We still have the D/ST slot to deal with, but is it really all that unpredictable?
Let's take a look into the data to see what trends have developed among top defensive performances and how they could aid in your weekly selection process.
Where Do Defenses' Points Come From?
Thanks to FantasyData, I was able to pull weekly D/ST scoring for each week of the 2016 and 2017 seasons. All total, we have 1,024 data entries to work with, and each performance is accompanied by team stats, opposing offense and salary.
Using the team scoring stats and FanDuel's standard scoring rules, I was able to calculate the percentage of D/ST FanDuel points by category. "Other" includes punt or kick blocks and extra point returns, which were not available in the data.
If it wasn't already obvious, sacks and interceptions make up more than 50% of defense and special teams' FanDuel points. And when we include fumble recoveries, we get exactly 70.9% of the scoring. Only 4.7% is spread across the "other" category while special teams touchdown returns (3.4%) and defensive safeties (1.0%) come in as the least significant categories over the last two seasons.
But, while it's good to know the lay of the land before climbing to the top, we're concerned with what it takes to be -- or, for our purposes, to find -- the highest-scoring defense of a single week. With that goal in mind, I narrowed down the sample to those teams with the most FanDuel points in a given week, including ties, to get a sample of 38.
Within that sample, the distribution of points shifts significantly.
Defensive touchdowns -- while volatile -- appear to be king for most top-performing defenses. Points allowed have also played a larger role, with sacks taking the most substantial hit, while interceptions and forced fumbles drop marginally.
Furthermore, when we look at the 38 weekly-high performances, 27 of them included a defensive touchdown, with 10 of them boasting at least 2 such scores.
And if we zero in on the points allowed category, we see that 4 games ended in shutouts for the top defense while 14 others held the opposing offense to single-digit points. Only five of those performances came when the defense surrendered 20-plus points, including two instances (once in each year) in which a defensive unit was awarded -4 FanDuel points for allowing 35-plus points in the game.
Now, let's look a little closer at the caliber of defenses and opposing offenses to see how that's played a role in defensive production in fantasy.
Using our Net Expected Points (NEP) metric, which measures a player or team's points added given historical down-and-distance data, we can evaluate each side of the matchup by their end-of-season rank in total adjusted NEP.
Broken down into four quarters (top eight and so on), here's the distribution.
The average rank of the defenses and offenses are 11th and 20th, respectively.
Digging into these on a smaller scale, it's worth noting that our top-ranked defenses in 2016 (the Denver Broncos) and 2017 (the Jacksonville Jaguars) have combined for four weeks with top honors (two by each). Impressively enough, one of the Jaguars' top weeks came against the NFL's second-best offense -- the Pittsburgh Steelers -- in Week 5 of this season, when Ben Roethlisberger threw five picks, two of which went for pick-sixes.
Eight other performances came via top-five defensive units. For these top-five defenses (including the Broncos and Jags), their opponents' offense was, on average, 18th in the NFL. There was no other top-five offense, and eight offenses ranked 17th or worse. Naturally, 44.8% of their FanDuel points have come from points allowed, with a lower percentage (26.7%) from defensive scores.
However, it is interesting to see nearly as many outstanding defensive performances from those ranked 9th to 16th as those in the top 8. Combined, those 14 opposing offenses had an average rank of 18th, as well, with 9 of them 15th or worse and one in the top 10.
Targeting bottom-tier defenses hasn't been the worst idea, though. Of the eight performances from those units ranked 17th to 32nd, the best opposing offense was last year's Green Bay Packers, who ranked 13th and at the time had a healthy Aaron Rodgers. Outside of that, the average offense ranked 30th, with three of them dead last and two others ranked 31st. Their reliance has primarily been on defensive touchdowns (30.4%) and sacks (20.9%) as points allowed (13.3%) have been less important for the performances of these squads.
In summary, the best defenses can perform well against any offense, but it's more likely that they'll be better as they take advantage of middling to below-average offenses. The middle tier of defenses are also better targets against bottom-half offenses, but as you dig into the bottom defenses, they rely heavily on soft matchups, which confirms a common approach to DFS defenses.
Knowing what we know now, as an example, which D/ST units make for the ideal Week 1 target to open the 2018 season?
If you are are opting for a top-tier defense, both the Jaguars ($4,700) at the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings ($4,500) against the San Francisco 49ers fit the mold. Their defenses rank third and first, respectively, in our power rankings, and in our DFS projections, the two are first and second in points allowed, and both units are in the top-three in terms of projected defensive touchdowns. Their opponents' offenses are 21st and 9th heading into the season, though the higher-ranked Niners will be on the road in the tough U.S. Bank Stadium.
At just $4,000, Washington might be the mid-level defense to pay down for in a road matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Their defense rates 14th and the Cardinals' offense -- thanks to a bottom-three offensive line -- sits 29th. It's a recipe for success, and our models agree, projecting Washington for the fifth-fewest points allowed and as the defense most likely to notch a defensive score.
So, if you still think selecting your defense is an inexact science, you're not completely wrong there. But the data points to some trends worth exploiting as we head into the 2018 daily fantasy football season.


Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas - "A Question of Faith: The Journey of Freetown," an historical perspective told through fibre art and an exhibition held a gala opening on November 12th at the Gloria Banks Galleria at the Rand Nature Centre in Freeport. In attendance for the event was the Minister of State for Culture the Hon Charles Maynard, and the Deputy Prime Minister's wife Mrs. Robin Symonette, among many other local and visiting guests, including Edis on Dames, Assistant Director of Culture and Percy 'Vola' Francism the 'King of Junkanoo'. The opening ceremony was led by Dr. Pamela Etuk and artist, Jackson Burnside gave remarks.
Curators for the exhibition are Chantal E.Y. Bethel, and Laurie N. Tuchel. Artistic advisor/curator, Antonius Roberts. Historical research, Darius Williams.
Participating artists in the exhibition are Lauren Austin, Chantal Bethel, Del Foxton, and Antonius Roberts. The Freetown participants in the quiltworks are: Rev Rufus Cooper, Romain Laing, Ahamal Lightbourn, Elizabeth Roberts, and Linda Robert s.
The exhibition gives the descendants of that old eastern settlement a quilt with enough warmth to cover their expansive histories as we journey from New Freetown, to Infantview Cemetery to Water Cay and on to Sweeting's Cay; where we spoke with healthy 104 years old resident, Firstina Baillou.
A project of the Grand Bahama Heritage Foundation, the exhibition is the result of a seven-month artistic process, historical documentation and cinematic recording of the history of the old Freetown by the inhabitants of new Freetown. Once located by the coast, all that is left of old Freetown is a cemetery called Infantview for its first inhabitant – a baby – and the ruins of an old house. The settlement was one of the first known communities of freed slaves on the island.
Old Freetown is one of the oldest freed slaves settlements on Grand Bahama Island. After the Grand Bahama Port Authority restructured the area in the 1960's, the people of Old Freetown moved to New Freetown. Old Freetown still holds remnants of the foundation stones of some of the earliest homes on Grand Bahama Island.
In 2007, in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade act, The Grand Bahama Heritage Foundation presented an art Exhibition entitled Freedom Call . "As we were doing our research, we found it extremely difficult to obtain written information about Old Freetown , we then made the decision that we would begin our exploration and research in Old Freetown."
In this video you will see and/or hear from artist in resident, Lauren Austin; artist Chantal Bethel, Co-Chair of Grand Bahama Heritage Foundation; Laurie Tuchel, Co-Chair of Grand Bahama Heritage Foundation; Mrs. Robin Symonette, wife of DPM Brent Symonette; Genius Cooper, and you will see locations such at Zion Baptist Church, and Freetown Primary School.
Be sure to take in the EXHIBIT from November 13th through to the 28th at the Gloria Banks Gallery, Rand Nature Centre, Bahamas National Trust.

should I make a new claim or persue old one?
TOPIC:	should I make a new claim or persue old one?
I was claiming ESA in 2017 when I was called for my medical. I was awarded 0 points and put onto JSA while I appealed the decision (mandatory) I again was awarded 0 points. I suffer from fibromyalgia and back problems. I sent off my appeal to take this to court as the report was terrible and was full of lies. I received a confirmation that the court had received my application which was back in the autumn of 2018.I was put back onto ESA until the court case, and have to provide a sick note every month. I was told that the waiting time was 42 weeks which would bring my court case to around march 2019. November 2018 I was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) which has left me with total loss of sensation in both my feet, legs and torso up to my chest. I have also lost my bowel control. I am confined to a wheelchair when out and can only manage on a zimmer frame in the house with a struggle, though I can not stand for more than a few minutes. As this is a rare condition, the doctors don't really know how much I might get back if anything, and it has been nearly 2 months and nothing has changed yet.
The question is - do I pursue my old esa claim that is going to court, or do I need to do a new claim as this new medical problem has completely taken over my life.
Any input would be really helpful, thank you.
The panel for your appeal can only consider your conditions and limitations as they were on the date of the Decision you are appealing, any changes since then cannot be looked at.
You can make a new claim based on your current problems, your GP will need to confirm that there has been a deterioration, just be aware that the new Decision will limit the result of your appeal, which you can continue with if you wish.

Kevin Costa is a veteran of Apple Slap, Clutchbone, Living Space, Brown's My Favorite and one band that he decided he didn't like but they decided they didn't like him at the same time. He sings, plays badass bass, and is better on the keys than he thinks but not as good as the parts he hears in his head. He writes brilliant pop ditties he is constantly tempted to put in funny time signatures.
Dustin Miller like Kevin, was in Apple Slap and Clutchbone, but not Living Space. Instead he was in two things exactlyalike, Owsla, Girls Without Skin & Crescent Mantis although I suspect the last three were just different names for him and whoever would stick around for a week and buy soda. He plays guitar and is working on expanding his vocal range from belting rockers to include belting ballads.
Tom Fields broke his first guitar at the age of six after seeing The Who on the Smothers Brothers. Since then he has been rocking and or rolling for quite some time. He also played in Clutchbone and has been giving Dustin musical advice since taking him to buy his first electric guitar. He has more song ideas than any dozen bands could finish.
Jeremy Beck had just started to settle into the set list we sent him when RPM2010 came and made a man of him. He proved to be well up to the challenge and is eager to continue rocking the kit to death for more and more songs. He comes straight from work to practice in a K-9 unit but mercifully leaves the window down for Harry.
Mike Tuciarone wore out the grooves on his parents' Music from Peter Gunn when he was little; later he learned arrangement from Chicago lead sheets. He has mostly recovered from this regrettable period. High school friends who could play like Rick Wakeman got him into piano, but not only can he not play like Rick Wakeman, he found keyboards are only marginally more successful than clarinet in helping to meet girls. He is DWW's "sonic cornstarch," adding hopefully unobtrusive thickening to the band's song stylings.


How to Wire an Electrical Circuit for an Oven: A Step by Step Procedure for the Installation for Oven Electrical Wiring, Determining the Oven Circuit Size, Selecting the Electrical Cable, The Electrical Junction Box, Connecting the Flex Conduit From the Oven, Connecting the Circuit Wiring.
Electrical Question: I need to install a 220 volt line for an oven.
Do you have step by step information that shows a start to finish oven installation?
I'm not a novice but I've never installed an oven circuit.
Also is there a safe converter for this project?
This electrical question came from: Michael , a Homeowner from Clinton Township, Michigan.
Thanks for your electrical question Michael .
I do not recommend the use of converters for most large electrical appliances.
Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced – Best performed by a License Electrical Contractor.
Notice: Installing additional circuit wiring should be done according to local and national electrical codes with a permit and be inspected.
All ovens are not the same, therefor the size of the electrical circuit will depend on the exact oven that you are installing. The oven installation manual will provide the required circuit information. The wire gauge is selected according to the oven specifications. The wire type or electrical cable type is determined by the type of structure and if the wiring will requiring protection and require conduit.
Factors for determining oven electrical cable types include where the cable will be routed or installed, such as through a basement, crawl space or attic, etc.
The same it true for the junction box that will be selected for the oven circuit to be installed into, for example will the junction box be surface mounted or flush mounted. The size of the junction box is determined by the size of the oven circuit cable.
Ovens typically come with a flex conduit with wires leading into the oven which will connect to the electrical junction box which will be located behind the oven in the cabinet where the oven is being installed. A blank cover plate that has an opening for a 90 degree flex fitting may be used to connect the oven flex to the junction box.
The ground wires are spliced together and bonded to the junction box. The insulated wiring of the electrical circuit cable and the wiring of the oven flex is spliced together inside the junction box using the appropriately sized wire connectors.
NOTE: As with all electrical wiring projects, a permit and inspections must be arraigned through your local building department. For best results a licensed electrical contractor may install the oven electrical circuit for you.
Basic electrical codes that cover the components that are required for wiring a 240volt oven circuit.
I am remodeling my kitchen and want to move my range about 10′ away from where the 220 electrical junction box is. Can I splice new 220 wire into that junction box and put a new box where the range is being moved? I can not rewire the new junction box from the main electrical panel.
When relocating a oven or range to a new location the existing circuit may be extended from the original location to the new location. The original receptacle or connection box may be used as a junction box where the new length of circuit cable of the same gauge and type is spliced with the existing circuit cable using approved wire connectors. The junction box must be accessible, and a blank cover must be installed.
I hope this helps you, enjoy your remodeled kitchen!
I am installing a new electric cook top. The old cook top wiring was: Black to black, white to red and bare ground to bare ground. I don't understand how this worked at all.
The new cook top wiring is now Black to Black, Red to Red, bare grounds together.
Now I do not get any power to the Red Leg. Do you have any suggestions?
The original cook top circuit wiring will need to be tested to properly to identify the voltage, and then marking the wires according to the purpose. If the white wire is not being used as a neutral but is instead being used as a hot leg then the wire should be wrapped with red electrical tape.
The original circuit voltage and amperage rating should also be compared to the new cook top to make sure the ratings are correct.
Can I splice into my 220 outlet for my dryer and run another wire from there to make another outlet for an oven instead of going all the way from the breaker box?
Both the dryer and the oven have their own amperage requirements and require a dedicated circuit, not a shared circuit. Dedicated circuits ensure proper wiring and prevent an overloaded condition which could cause a possible fire hazard and a tripping circuit breaker.
I switched my electric oven on for the first time and it fused the gas boiler and wall sockets. Is this likely to be that the oven is wired up wrong and should I look for an electrician or an oven repairer? Thanks for any help.
To begin to troubleshoot the problem disconnect the oven from the wall socket connection then attempt to restore power to the circuit.
If the power to the oven does not trip off then the problem is most likely with the electric oven, however if the oven circuit does trip off while the oven is not connected then an electrician will be required to test the circuit and make necessary repairs.
If the circuit does not trip off the electrical connections to the oven should then be checked, verified and repaired if needed.
Repeat the process of testing the oven and the circuit.
If the oven circuit continues to trip off then there may be a problem in the oven with the wiring or electrical components. Because the oven is new and most likely covered by a warranty the supplier or manufacturer should be notified so they can make arrangements to replace or repair the oven or repair the problem.
Is it necessary to install the oven junction box on the wall behind the oven? And centered? My oven hits the box and doesn't fit flush withe cabinet.
If needed, the oven junction box may be moved to another accessible location, and no – the junction box does not have to be centered.
If the junction box is Surface Mounted you may want to recess it back into the wall and make it a Flush Mounted box to give you more room.


Marla Ziegler modern designed home features a studio in the back yard.
The dining room of Marla Ziegler's Oak Cliff home, with shelves displaying some of her collections.
A retro television at Ziegler's house.
The home is built on a gentle slope.
The living room has blond wood floors and midcentury furniture.
The kitchen has dark countertops and a mix of wood and glass fronts on the upper cabinets.
The Oak Cliff home has two stories.
Ceramic artist Marla Ziegler says her Oak Cliff home is the biggest piece of art she's ever worked on.
The self-proclaimed country girl from the Texas Panhandle and South Dakota wanted a gallery-esque home to showcase her extensive collection of prints and sculptures by Texas artists as well as her thrift-store finds, such as mid-century modern dishware and tablecloths.
Designed and built by Dan Shipley of Shipley Architects, the home is modern yet warm. The walls may be white, but large picture windows frame the biggest art piece of all: nature. Light fills the home, creating complex shadows as you catch a glimpse of green from the surrounding trees on the woodsy property.
Many of the textures in the home come from nature — the blond wooden floors, three-dimensional stone — but smooth white walls, touches of metal flashing on a backsplash and steel handrails keep things fresh, crisp and cool.
Shipley says he takes cues from the homeowner as well as from materials. With Ziegler, he got the best of both worlds.
Shipley likes to think of the materials of a house as characters in a play or novel that work together to tell the story.
Ziegler works in a similar way with her own art, since working with clay is a long and personal process. "When I'm working with something, before it's done I've usually personified it, like it's the joker, or the master of ceremonies," she says.
Her home is now a reflection of her own character — strong but warm, self-confident, creative and full of stories, be it from her own art or the art of others.
Ziegler, who owns a variety of art from paintings to sculpture to found objects, says she's attracted to more muted colors and tones.
A collection of six small, separate pieces featured in a downstairs hallway immediately piques a visitor's curiosity. One is a wire sculpture of a chair, one is a small cowboy hat, while another is an interestingly shaped twig that Ziegler found in her back yard.
It's that creative process that made the collaboration between Ziegler and Shipley such a successful project.

On September 2, 2012 over 9,000 Christians from the Charlotte area gathered for a day of prayer, fasting, and repentance. The solemn assembly was the culmination of a 40-day fast and months of prayer meetings for the world, for the nation, but mostly for the city's churches.

I had the privilege of spending a day with a national pro-life organization called Operation Save America. Unashamedly taking up the cause of preborn children in the name of Jesus Christ, OSA passionately seeks to both expose the horror of abortion and provoke the Church to not sit silent as more than 1 million babies are killed each year.
Over the course of the day, we assembled outside of 3 abortion clinics, encountering pro-choice groups, police, and young women on their way to have an abortion. At noon, we gathered in the center of downtown Charlotte for a memorial service. A stand-in for the 55 million babies that have been killed since 1973 (Roe v Wade) was "Baby Choice", an actual baby that was aborted in her 22nd week. The open-casket service was shocking. It was the reality of abortion lying naked and exposed in the city square.
Just as I thought the day had reached its peak, I was told we needed to head out in order to reach our next destination in time; Friday prayer at the Mosque. The Mosque? What does that have to do with abortion? I soon realized that OSA is first and foremost about the Gospel and the glory of God, and anything that stands against these principles are strongholds that need to be torn down. Worshipping the god of Islam is just as contrary to Biblical principles as killing a child. So the pro-life signs were traded for "Islam is a Lie" signs. The bullhorn preaching changed from "life" and "creation" to "false idol" and "repent". But while the signs and the slogans may have changed, the underlying theme was the same; Jesus. For OSA, everything always goes back to Jesus. I saw that these families I had spent all day with are jealously determined to see Jesus glorified.
Whether you agree with their methods or not, the fact is these God-fearing families are exalting the name of Christ on the battlefield and standing in the gap for righteousness. Is it offensive? You bet. Do they say things that most people only think? Yup. But while the anti-septic gospel remains ineffectively kept in museums (dead churches) there is a remnant that is taking up the razor sharp Sword of the Spirit and daring anyone to stand in opposition to it…churches included.
The shoot was titled "Southern Secret Garden". Enjoy!

Ogunbanjo said it was unfortunate that Multichoice felt it was not possible to offer the pay-as-you-view service in the country.
"It is unfortunate. The question is 'Is pay as you view available in South Africa where Multichoice originated?' That we have to find out before we start to fight.
"We are not going to introduce pay-as-you-view system. Our contract with our suppliers is on month-to-month basis. The channels do not belong to Multichoice.
"The issue of not introducing pay as you view remains. Nothing will change it.

RB's On The Move
When it comes to playing fantasy football, everyone who has ever read any fantasy football magazine or been involved in a league knows that the running back position is probably the most important position on the team.
In the real world, an offense is built around the quarterback, but in fantasy football things are different. Obviously, having an elite quarterback on your fantasy team is a plus, but it's not essential. Most fantasy leagues only require that you start 1 quarterback on a weekly basis, so this means you can usually get away with having someone not named Manning, Brady or McNabb and still have a successful season. But if you want to contend for your league's championship you are going to need at least 2 very good players at the running back position.
There have been at least 10 well known running backs who have changed teams this off-season, so let's take a look at what impact this could have for your fantasy team.
Willis McGahee – His first 3 years in the league, Willis McGahee has had over 3300 rushing yards, 24 rushing touchdowns and an average of almost 4 yards per carry, all while playing for a pathetic Buffalo Bills offense. Now he has moved to the smash-mouthed, ball control offense of the Baltimore Ravens. This move immediately boosts Willis McGahee's fantasy value and he should easily see 1500+ yards with double-digit touchdowns.
Travis Henry – Last year, Travis Henry totaled 1211 rushing yards, 7 rushing touchdowns as a member of the Tennessee Titans. He has now gone to the running back friendly offense of the Denver Broncos. In 2006, the Bronco's had the running back tandem of Mike and Tatum Bell, who accounted for 1702 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. Tatum Bell has since moved on to Detroit, so this means Travis Henry and Mike Bell should both see sigificant playing time this year in Denver.
Thomas Jones – He started his career doing very little his first 4 years in the league, but he did spend his first 3 years as a member of the Arizona Cardinals and then 1 year with the Tampa Bay Bucs. Jones then moved to the windy city of Chicago and put up decent numbers from '04 to '06. With a healthy Chad Pennington, the Jets showed an improved passing game in '06, but tried a number of players at running back, with mixed results. Now as a member of the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets, Thomas Jones should be able to post numbers similar to what he did in Chicago.
Kevan Barlow- With just one 1,000 yard season in his career, Kevan Barlow has not made much of an impact in fantasy football. That could change this year as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Willie Parker, Najeh Davenport, Verron Haynes, and Kevan Barlow all on the roster, you might be asking yourself, how is this going make Kevan Barlow a significant fantasy player? Before retiring as a Super Bowl champion the Steelers had "The Bus", Jerome Bettis, who was very good in short yardage situations. Last year Willie Parker was the feature back for the Steelers and did everything they asked very well. This year, in order to keep Parker fresh for a possible playoff run, the Steelers may look to Kevan Barlow in short yardage and goalline situations.
Jamal Lewis – Lewis has posted 1,000 yard seasons in 5 of his first 7 years in the league. In 2001, he did not play the entire season due to injury and in 2005, he missed the 1,000 yard mark by just 94 yards. He has also had at least 6 touchdowns per year, except for '01 and '05. Lewis now moves to the division rival Cleveland Browns, who ranked next to last in rushing yards last season. With Reuben Droughns now a member of the New York Giants, the Cleveland Browns will be counting on Lewis to carry to load this season.
Tatum Bell – Bell has shown flashes of greatness as a member of the Denver Broncos, but has not been able to put together a consistent fantasy season. Last year, he did have his first 1000 yard season, but he had just 2 rushing touchdowns. Now a member of the Detroit Lions, Bell will have to share the backfield with Kevin Jones and T.J. Duckett. It's hard to say who will be the best option for your fantasy team, each of them has potential, but none of them can be counted on as the number 1 running back for your fantasy team.
T. J. Duckett – Last year as a member of the Washington Redskins, Duckett did next to nothing. Before last year, he was a very good short yardage back for the Atlanta Falcons. As I have just said, Duckett will share the backfield with Kevin Jones and Tatum Bell, so I see Duckett again being used in short yardage situations. I don't think he will be a guy that you keep in your starting lineup on a regular basis, but he should be an adequate bye-week filler.
Reuben Droughns – Droughns will have big shoes to fill, now that he has moved to the Big Apple. Tiki Barber was "The Man" for the New York Giants, but he has since retired, leaving Droughns and 6'4″ 265 lb. Bradon Jacobs as the two main ball carriers for the Giants. I believe that Jacobs will be the better option of the two, he will definitely score more touchdowns and could be used to pound the ball if the Giants have the lead late in the game.
Ahman Green – No longer a member of the Green Bay Packers, Green will have a number of factors to overcome this year. The last few years, Green has had numerous injuries, which have reduced his playing time. Also, he is now part of the Houston Texans organization, which have been mediocre at best since coming into the league in 2002. Lastly, the Texans have a crowded backfield, with Green, Sam Gado, Ron Dayne and Wali Lundy all on the roster. This obviously a RBBC, or running back by committee situation and none of them are more than bench fillers for your team.
Domanic Rhodes – Rhodes has cracked the 1,000 yard mark once in his career, but he was a backup to Edgerrin James until last year. In 2006, as a member of the Indianapolis Colts, he was forced to share playing time with rookie Joseph Addai. Rhodes now goes from being a Super Bowl Champion with the Colts to the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders had one of the worst offenses in football in 2006. Last year, the running back tandem of Lamont Jordan and Justin Fargas were only able to achieve 1093 yards and 3 touchdowns. Rhodes will have little impact this year, so I would not waste a draft pick on him.

Q: Dispersion of Gaussian Beams I'm new to optics, especially Gaussian beam optics. I'm curious about things that I've been reading in Daniel Steck's textbook, and how they compare with my common sense intuition. Guassian beams are commonly used to model laser light, and typically are depicted according to this picture

We can clearly see dispersion (or the spreading of the light) as we move along the z axis away from the waist (w0). But, as I think about the lasers I use for pointing at stars for instance, they seem intuitively to have some diameter which remains constant as the light shines away from the source. In other words, intuitively it seems that there is no dispersion or spread for a laser I use to point at stars.
     Or is it just that the dispersion is very small so that I can't notice it?
      Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

A: The dispersion is definitely there, but too small to notice at that scale. If memory serves me right, a typical laserpointer has a dispersion of about 0.2 mrad, resulting in a dot size of about 20cm at 1km range.
You can counter the dispersion by using a wider beam to start with, but you can never completely negate its effects.

Kollikodon es un género extinto de monotremas platípodos pertenecientes a la familia Kollikodontidae, del que sólo se conoce una especie, Kollikodon ritchei (Flannery, Archer, Rich & Jones, 1995) que habitó durante el periodo Albiense, en el Cretácico Inferior, hace aproximadamente 100-104 millones de años.

Este animal es conocido exclusivamente por un fragmento opalizado del hueso dentario con un premolar y dos molares hallado en Nueva Gales del Sur, Australia y en principio fue clasificado en el género Steropodon.

Es una especie relativamente grande para la fauna del Mesozoico. Teniendo en cuenta que los molares tienen una longitud aproximada de 5'5 mm y una anchura entre 4 y 6, se supone que pudieron llegar a medir un metro de altura.

A pesar de los poco datos disponibles, se puede aventurar que tenían hábitos acuáticos puesto que la extraña anatomía de los dientes parece estar diseñada para crujir los caparazones y conchas de invertebrados acuáticos.

Foreign Ministry to LDP: It will do everything possible to remove 'comfort women' statue
Akahata learned that the Foreign Ministry on December 16 at a meeting of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's committee on foreign affairs said that it will do everything possible to remove a statue of a girl depicting wartime Japanese military "comfort women" which is displayed in the central Berlin district of Mitte in Germany.
Akahata criticized the ministry for expressing its outrageous intent to intervene in grassroots efforts in other countries working for peace and the elimination of sexual violence.
At the LDP committee meeting the other day, right-wing, sexist members such as LDP Lower House member Sugita Mio called on the ministry to take action against the public display of the statue.
The "comfort women" statue, also known as the "Statue of a Girl of Peace", was installed on public land in the Mitte district at the end of September with a time limit of one year. Following the installation of the statue, the Japanese government began demanding its removal and the Mitte district authorities issued a removal order. This order was immediately withdrawn after facing fierce public protests which included a letter to the district mayor written by ex-German Chancellor Schroeder and his wife. The Mitte district assembly on December 2 adopted a resolution calling for a permanent display of the statue.

Hi, we are a Husband and Wife team of wedding and event photographers, based in a little village just to the north of Tamworth, Staffordshire. We have a 10 year old daughter and though she is still at Primary School, she is showing an artistic streak so maybe we will be a family team of photographers one day!Mark's passion for photography began at Art College. Working originally with film, he had a darkroom at home and learned photography the traditional way. Though he now loves what he can do with digital images, he still loves film. Debbie always had a camera handy for any family event and enjoyed taking photos of her family unawares! When Mark set up his own Photography Business, Debbie decided to take photography qualifications so that she could join in the fun. Now years on, she too has qualifications, experience and membership of the National Photographic Society! She still likes taking photos of people unawares though! (The picture on the left shows Debs receiving flowers from the Bride and Groom).
We both love travel, friends, family, history, music, walking and our daughter Hannah!!Mark is the outdoors type and loves mountains, countryside and walking. Debbie is the outdoors type on a nice day! She loves to be by the coast. Debbie loves watching DVDs and telling you loads of trivia about the people in them! The smell of woodsmoke, summer evenings, that first mug of coffee in the morning, a nice hot bath and a good chilli!
Take a look around our website & get a little insight into the way we see the world & the style in which we like to capture it! Stage managed shots rarely work so we like to have fun and see you enjoy yourselves too! It always produces the best images. Our style is relaxed but creative but also classic & timeless.

We trekked around Pine River Park just outside of Bayfield over the weekend. It was a cold & rainy day but thankfully the weather let up for a bit so we could get some photos.
I had a great day photographing one of my dear friends, Brittany. We hiked around Vallecito Lake looking for spots to shoot all afternoon. She is a hairdresser, hence her bright purple hair! I wish there was an ocean near by to photograph her next to since she reminds me of a Mermaid. Regardless, we got some great pictures.

Obama's coffers far fuller than Romney's as campaign entered final two months
September 21, 2012 / 2:30 AM / AP
(AP) WASHINGTON — At the end of August, President Obama had about $88.8 million to spend on the final months of the campaign, nearly twice as much as Republican rival Mitt Romney, according to campaign fundraising reports released Thursday.
While Romney's report showed he had $50.4 million to spend as of Aug. 31, he also owed $15 million on a $20 million loan taken that month.
The loan helped Romney pay for mailings, staff salaries and TV advertising — and it helped his finances appear healthier on paper. It also boosted his cash-on-hand total from $35.4 million — a number that's closer to a third of Mr. Obama's haul.
Full coverage: Election 2012
While Romney raised about $66.6 million in August to Mr. Obama's $84.7 million, the $20 million loan boosts Romney's total receipts to $86.6 million, slightly higher than his Democratic opponent's take.
Both Romney and Mr. Obama spent about as much as they raised during the month of August. Romney spent about $66.4 million, while Mr. Obama spent about $83.7 million.
Romney and the Republican Party raised more than $111 million combined. That was less than Mr. Obama and the Democrats, who raised more than $114 million.
Romney took out a $20 million loan in late August, in the days before his campaign had access to funds they had raised for the general election, because he was not yet the official nominee. He used general election money as collateral for the loan.
The new report shows he paid back $5 million before the end of August. The campaign said it had paid back an additional $4 million in September, although that data won't be publicly recorded until next month.

Indie Excavation No. 6: A Little Bit Adorable
Featuring: Unit Down, MagiCat, Adventures of Chris
Andrew Johnston
Mar 8, 2022 • 5 min read
Source: Combo Gamer.
The watchword for today's selection of games is cute. All of these titles feature a cartoon-influenced style, as distinguished from the decidedly darker titles that tend to populate my collection. It's easy to assume that a cute game must be an easy title for a younger audience, but make no assumptions — some of these titles have hidden claws.
As always, if you want to clue me in on an overlooked indie title, you can leave a comment here or send me a message on my site.
Watch the games in action:
Unit Down
Randy Becker — 2021 — $4.99
Beginning our exploration of the cute and cartoony is Unit Down, a game about four adorable mutant super soldiers on a quest to invade Earth and destroy the government that's holding society together. It's cuter in context.
While billed as an arcade throwback, Unit Down is more of a hybrid title split into two parts. The game opens in the big picture overworld section, where the player decides what to do first. As charmingly dimwitted wolfman Lars, the player must protect the mothership while it breaks through Earth's defensive barrier with three attacks (each one summoning a boss), then lead the invasion personally. Earth isn't taking this lying down — the humans are busy setting up countermeasures on other planets, including torpedoes that can destroy the mothership and fighters that hunt Lars down. Lars must hop from planet to planet to keep the humans in check.

Once Lars lands, the game switches over to a gallery shooter mode. Enemy soldiers spawn in at regular intervals, along with various elite enemy types with special attack patterns or defenses. Defeating enemy units diminishes the human presence on that planet, which can stop them from attacking the mothership. But the game keeps going on the overworld, and a player who spends too much time on one planet might get an unexpected game over if the humans are able to launch a successful counterattack.
Efficiency is the watchword in Unit Down. As with My Night Job, managing the different areas is critical, but in the long term, it's a losing battle. The Earth forces get stronger the longer one plays, resulting in tougher enemies and faster spawns. Lars can upgrade his gear, but just barely enough to keep pace with the humans. A player who can't finish the game quickly will end up overwhelmed.
While there are a lot of rough spots here, Unit Down has enough novelty to get a recommendation.
Kucing Rembes — 2017 — $4.99
In the last Indie Excavation, I showed off a game called Polyroll. Here I am today with MagiCat, another 2D platformer with discreet levels and branching paths a la Mario 3. Both games are retro-styled without being based on any specific game; both have the player scouring each level for hidden gems; both start very easy but get brutal by the end.
So what's the difference? Let's start with this: MagiCat is enormous, easily one of the largest neo-retro platformers I've ever seen. There are 63 levels in all, each with a unique boss and a time attack mode in case that's still not enough for you. Most of the levels are built around a novel gimmick, similar to what one might see in some of the Donkey Kong Country games. Add in the wide variety of tilesets, and MagiCat is a game that revels in variety.

Probably the most interesting feature in MagiCat is the items. The player can use gems found in the levels to purchase power-up items that enhance gameplay in various ways. Most of these are about what you'd expect, but there are two very special items that can only be used on the overworld — a hammer that can destroy obstacles and a bridge that can create platforms over gaps. These tools amount to a dev-designed sequence-breaking kit that can allow a clever player to bypass most of the levels while reaching shops and secrets early.
And being able to sequence-break is a nice feature, because this cute little game gets sadistically hard in the back half. The bosses in particular turn into bullet hell marathon matches demanding ever-more precision. The devs have given you these tools — don't be ashamed to bypass a level (or eight) that you just can't quite finish.
Adventures of Chris
Guin Entertainment — 2020 — $14.99
Who is this "Chris" fella? He's a fat, video game-obsessed 90's kid from the American South — already a lot more relatable than most video game protagonists. The adventure part kicks off one evening when he is abruptly teleported to a birthday party for the world's most petulant vampire and turned into a helium balloon to serve as living decor. Upon accidentally being cut free, he decides to use his somewhat questionable new superpower to rescue six other children who have also been turned into toys and left in the possession of a group of peculiar supervillains.
It's not a game that takes itself too seriously, is what I'm saying.
Adventures of Chris is a platformer in which the protagonist starts off with the gift of flight, albeit not an especially graceful or dignified form of flight. After some training by the King of Lost Balloons (just roll with it), he gains the ability to float and deflate himself at will. The mechanic is similar to gravity mechanics in games like VVVVV, but more forgiving than those tend to be.
Adventures of Chris. Source: adventuresofchris.com
The levels are built around this concept — Chris pushes himself along ceilings, activates carefully timed inflations to drift through spiked-lined corridors, and deflates to drop quickly and avoid attacks. It takes some getting used to — and a controller is highly recommended — but Adventures of Chris is not a terribly difficult game, so nearly anyone can master the mechanic.
The game is fairly short, but there's plenty of replay value for those who want a greater challenge. Mean Mode offers a new set of levels with harder platforming challenges (while also giving Chris a chance to float right over the fourth wall with his dialogue), while Developer Commentary is just what it says on the tin. And if you think the game would be better if you died twice as fast? Well, there's an aptly-named option for that, too.
Adventures of Chris is recommended for anyone who appreciates it when things get good and silly.


I love my OtterBox Defender iPhone case even though I wish it was more sleek and feminine. What it lacks in fashion it makes up for by saving my iPhone from total destruction nearly every day. My case needs to have a bit of a rubber-sticky feel so it's easier to grip and it must protect from the inevitable two or three mishaps (aka drops) a day!
I have a boring black case – partly because I carry it on my lap all the time (Brent thinks it is less noticeable) and partly because I can't decide between the black, blue or pink (there are other colors too). Don't get me started on my indecisiveness, there's a post coming on that subject as soon as I decide to finish it! I can't justify the nearly $50 each for a wardrobe of case colors, but if I had one other color, I'd pick the blue as a back-up. What do you think?
One sleepless night when I was laying in bed listening to my iPod, I used my teeth to position my phone in my hand so I could change the podcast. Low and behold I heard a faint 'crack'. The next day Brent took a look at my phone and said, 'You have a crack across the glass on your phone!', I was aghast and wondered how in the world something like that could happen! Not wanting to go to the Apple store and beg or use every manner of my wheelchair influence to finesse a free or reduced price replacement or much less pay full price to replace the glass front of my iPhone; we looked more closely and found that it was only my OtterBox case that was cracked! OK, it was a nearly $50 investment, but at least I wouldn't have to go to the mall (yikes) to the Apple Store to get on the list, wait, and potentially buy more accessories or a new sweater at Ann Taylor next door.
I quickly called OtterBox and they asked me a few questions which I reluctantly answered honestly! And the next thing I knew they were sending a brand-new OtterBox Defender free of charge! Their warranty is extensive and user-friendly. The new case arrived within ten days. Meanwhile, I cautiously used an old Otterbox case that was not made for my iPhone version. Impressive response and outstanding customer service. Otterbox ROCKS!
– I've dropped it from a height of 3-5 feet on to concrete, tile, wood, etc.
– I've rolled over it with all 350 lbs of me and my power wheelchair but really don't want to do that again!
– Tahoe has picked up my phone off the floor and run around the backyard with it more than one time. The stinker…he gets so proud of himself.
– Last night I dropped my phone on the floor in the kitchen while we were engrossed in eating strawberries with freshly made cream cheese frosting (big kudos to Brent for his first experience and success making this staple). I'm sure Tahoe tried to give it to me, but when I licked the spoon and spatula clean there was no sign of Tahoe or the phone. Uh oh! In comes Tahoe, but there was no sign of the phone in the house or the yard. Our last resort was for Brent to call my phone…we listened for the barking dog ring tone….no, not in the house…hmm…we walk outside and hear a faint 'ruff, ruff, ruff' coming from the thick green bushes where Tahoe likes to curl up and relax. Alas, there lay my phone.
If you are as clumsy as Madge or want to trust your phone with your 3 year old or your new puppy, give up your stylish case and get the OtterBox Defender!
Great story about Tahoe hiding your phone. Flower has tried to carry mine off already.
Wow Leta…how about that. I hit your family with a bullseye!
Christina – I am right there with you…mine has flown off the car at 40 mph, stayed on top of the car for a mile at 60 mph, tumbled across the track at the YMCA while I was running and fallen too many times to count. Otterbox rocks! I love the visual of Tahoe taking it to the bushes …that is so funny!!! That puppy is the best!
Lindsay – Otterbox is amazing! I called after the outer rubber part was torn and they sent me two new ones! LOVE hearing Tahoe stories 🙂 give him a hug from me, please!


Dutch Royal Mint has made what appears to be world's first coin to feature the Quick Response (QR) Code, a matrix of black and white squares, which can be scanned by a mobile phone camera and recognized by an app.
The codes, which are increasingly used in trade and advertising, usually serve as links to a website with more information about the product.
The code featured on the tail side of the coin made to celebrate the Royal Dutch Mint's 100th anniversary, leads to a website dedicated to the event.
The coin comes in two varieties – the 5-euro silver version and the 10-euro gold one.

Q: Why CGSize doesn't use * when declaring variables? When I create an instance of a class called, say, Sprite, I do something like:
Sprite *mySprite = [[Sprite alloc]init];

But why when creating a CGSize or int type variable, I can't use *? Basically, what's the * for?

A: The * denotes a pointer. CGSize is declared as a struct and Sprite is a class, and in Objective-C all classes are referenced by a pointer.

You can find additional information in the Programming with Objective-C documentation. The relevant sections are Use Pointers to Keep Track of Objects and Methods Can Return Values.

SCHOTT donates EUR 23,000 in aid to help the victims of the Typhoon in the Philippines

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once lauded for its versatility, strength and fire-resistant properties.
It is also toxic, responsible for 3,000 malignant mesothelioma cases a year.
More than 50 countries ban asbestos, but the construction and manufacturing industries in the U.S. continue using it.
The U.S. is among the few major industrialized countries that hasn't entirely banned asbestos in all of its forms.
Asbestos was once very widely used, and is probably around more today than most people think. Prior to the early 1980s, however, the hazardous mineral could be found at just about any industrial job site in the nation, and a myriad of products made at these sites were shipped to homes and businesses across the nation. Although a lot of this ended with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) strict regulations in the late 1970s, there are still a lot of myths about asbestos circulating around.
Does Your Property Contain Contaminated Vermiculite Insulation?
Vermiculite has been a popular type of insulation in homes and commercial properties for many years. Unfortunately, a lot of the vermiculite that was used to insulate American buildings in the twentieth century was eventually discovered to be contaminated with asbestos.
IS ASBESTOS IN YOUR CHILDREN'S TOYS?
Where are your child's crayons? In a drawer, a shoebox, a backpack or an arts and crafts kit? Wherever they are, they're probably among your child's favorite playthings.
It is believed that almost 90% of schools in the UK contain the deadly material asbestos, something which poses a significant threat to millions of children each year. Given that asbestos-related cancers alone cause more than 3,000 deaths in the UK, the release of statistics which showcase the potential level of exposure within schools is worrying.
UK based Asbestos Advice Helpline have recently produced an infographic, titled "Asbestos In UK Schools – The Real Threat To Our Children" which looks in-depth at not just the potential exposure risks of poorly managed asbestos but the effects which this can have upon children over forthcoming years.
This past Sunday saw the implosion of the former Xerox building in Dallas off of Central Expressway.
Lindamood Demolition, a great company we have worked with, pulled off the implosion flawlessly.
There is no doubt in Brian Nutt's mind that the bullet that ripped through the front door of his home on the Monday before Thanksgiving had something to do with his position at Kilgore College.
Since he was elected to the college's board last year, Nutt, the senior pastor of Grace Fellowship of Kilgore, has developed a reputation for aggressively questioning the status quo on issues, like how the college adheres to the state's open meetings rules.
But tensions at the nearly 80-year-old community college reached new heights in mid-November when allegations surfaced that the school was in the habit of improperly removing and disposing of asbestos from its buildings.
Owning your first home, or moving into a new or pre-owned home may provide excitement and a new sense of comfort for your family, but families should be aware of the health hazards that accompany home ownership.
Homes built before the 1980's have a much higher risk of being built with asbestos-containing materials. In fact, one of the leading areas of asbestos in homes comes from insulation and hot water pipes in older homes.
Renovating or remodeling your home can release asbestos fibers in the air, exposing you and your family to the cancer-causing mineral. If you're not sure if something is asbestos, assume it is until verified otherwise, suggests OregonState.edu.
