Justin Peters in Brazil: God Does Not Speak to You Today Through Prophecy and Revelation
By Julio Severo
There was a lot of confusion among some experts on Christian apologetics in Brazil early this year about whether Justin Peters preached or not cessationism when, as a VINACC guest speaker, he taught against prosperity theology preachers by calling them "heretics."
|Justin Peters
He was prevented from teaching his cessationist gospel in VINACC.
How did Peters become an intransigent cessationist?
Apparently, after attending several meetings of prosperity theology proponents and receiving no miracle, Peters, who is a disabled man, let his bad experience create a bad theology: If he received no miracle in these meetings is because God gives no supernatural gifts in our days.
Today, he is an avid cessationist — a theological jargon to design adherents of the theory that says the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased 2,000 years ago and that they are no longer available today. In fact, his non-healing experiences have been used by Calvinist theologian John MacArthur to back his anti-Pentecostal "Strange Fire" conferences, where Peters is one of the speakers.
In Campina Grande, Brazil, where the VINACC meeting was held, Peters was recorded as saying,
"Anytime somebody says God has spoken to me and has given me a word, has given me a new revelation, has given me a prophecy, that you automatically write that person off as a false teacher as a false prophet. And we could talk for an hour at least about how God does or does not speak to people. Hebrews 1:1,2 pretty clear: God long ago spoke through the fathers in the prophets in many portions in many different ways, but in these last days has spoken to us in His Son Jesus who is the final speaking of God. We have the perfect, inerrant, infallible and sufficient record of that. So God is not giving certain individuals special revelations, special insight into His future plans. He's not doing that anymore. Everything that we need is right here in the Word of God. We're the dwell of the Spirit who illumines the meaning of this Word in our hearts and minds. That's all we need. The second thing: anybody who claims to be an apostle or a prophet, write that person off immediately."
After reading Peters' words, Dr. Michael Brown, author of "Authentic Fire" (a book that exposes the fallacies of "Strange Fire," a book by MacArthur), said to me:
"What a bizarre statement about God not speaking today. The Word plainly says that Jesus, by the Spirit, continues to speak. If I believe the Word, then I must believe the Spirit is still speaking today. It's troubling to see how Mr. Peters terribly misuses the Bible to justify his claims and rather than dealing with the detailed scriptural evidence I provided in my Authentic Fire book, he dismisses it all because I accepted Benny Hinn's invitation to appear on his broadcast and preach the gospel to millions of viewers."
With his words, Peters showed that he has not a problem just with prosperity theology preachers. His problem is with all people professing Pentecostalism or charismatic experiences. In fact, his main foundation to attack Pentecostal leaders seems to be his fierce opposition to the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit today.
By the way, Brazil was a huge challenge for him, because most Brazilian evangelicals are Pentecostal. Brazilian evangelicalism is basically Pentecostal and neo-Pentecostal.
Peters would get a good audience among followers of Bishop Edir Macedo, the founder of the Kingdom of God Universal Church (KGUC). Macedo also believes that God gives no prophecy or revelation today. He said, "In former times, God used to speak through dreams, visions or prophecies, because there was not His written Word. Today, He speaks through His Word."
What is to be done to people today who say that they had a prophecy or revelation? Macedo answers, "If someone learns that there is a 'prophet' or 'prophetess' in KGUC, denounce it immediately to the minister and also to the regional leader, so that we may take immediate measures."
It would sound ok for Peters, wouldn't it? After all, this is his theology!
Macedo is relentless in his anti-prophecy stance. Incredibly, he is a neo-Pentecostal (neo-charismatic) leader who preaches the prosperity theology. Yet, whether or not you bring Macedo a prophetic revelation or God's Word about the value of life, he remains fierce and equally relentless in his defense of abortion and birth control.
If Peters' attacks were directed to this real strange fire (abortion, birth control, partial cessationism and the Gospel together), it would be fair. But his attacks are directed to other issues and against all Pentecostals. For Peters, all gifts of prophecy and revelations today are "strange fire," are demonic. Of course, Macedo would say, "Amen!"
There are false gospels and false miracles, but you should never use the false gospels and the false miracles to disqualify the true Gospel and the true miracles.
Because I am charismatic Christian, should I accept all manifestations of supernatural gifts coming from Christians? No. Some years ago, an American preacher said that he received a prophecy about Brazil winning the 2014 World Cup and also about an evangelical woman getting elected as Brazilian president in the 2014 election. His prophecy was interpreted as God supporting Marina Silva, a socialist militant who began in the Catholic Church and today is an Assemblies of God member.
Brazil suffered its worst defeat in the 2014 World Cup. I knew that his prophecy was not correct, especially for its interpretation favoring Marina, who has solid socialist stances. While many evangelical leaders were supporting her because of the prophecy, I was, before the election, exposing Marina and her avid socialism. Eventually, she lost.
Apostle Paul, who had many charismatic gifts, never taught that you should reject prophecies, but that you should be free to prophesize and free to evaluate what each person says in prophecy: "Two or three people should speak what God has revealed. Everyone else should decide whether what each person said is right or wrong." (1 Corinthians 14:29 GWV)
To reject all prophecies is not the Bible way. To accept all prophecies is not the Bible way. The Bible ways is freedom to prophesy and freedom do evaluate.
In Campina Grande, Brazil, Justin Peters lambasted prosperity theology preachers. He also lambasted the VINACC organizers because he wanted to teach cessationism (the strange doctrine that says God no longer grants supernatural gifts today), but they did not allow him. Even though several VINACC speakers are cessationist Calvinists, its public is mostly Pentecostal. Peters' cessationism would have been extremely offensive to this public.
Peters' declarations against prophecy and revelation were recorded in an interview with him in Campina Grande and show how eager he was to teach the VINACC public to reject "heresies," misinterpreted by him as an acceptance of prophecy and revelation for today.
In his recorded declarations, Peters also attacked Dr. Michael Brown, a Jewish charismatic leader who has been prominent for his defense of the Gospel and Israel. He said,
"A lot of pastors will have invite questionable people to come to their churches to preach. They will go on to questionable or maybe I should say questionable because it could sound like mad, television programs associated with false prophets. One good example is Dr. Michael Brown, who is considered to be one of the intellectual leaders of the charismatic movement. He blasted the Strange Fire Conference that was held at John MacArthur's church, because he claimed that the Strange Fire Conference plained all charismatics with raw brush and it was really as if the Strange Fire Conference should talk about the strange time fringe of the charismatics. He said that is not who we are. So he blasted the Conference and then three months later he goes on Benny Hinn's television program and records five programs with Benny Hinn who is one of, if not the world's most infamous bad influence, that's the bad way influence in believers. If you can't tell Benny Hinn is a false teacher then something is really wrong. And so associations pick volumes about who we are and what we believe."
In answer, Dr. Michael Brown clarified that, because Peters tried to misrepresent him in Brazil, he is open to a public debate about these issues. The debate could happen in Brazil. Brown said,
"1) I invited Pastor MacArthur to private discussion or public debate on numerous occasions, but he refused to engage in private or in public; 2) I would debate Justin Peters in a heartbeat as to what the Bible says about divine healing; 3) I exposed false accusations made against Benny Hinn by Justin Peters; 4) my appearance on Benny Hinn's show is not an endorsement of his theology any more than my appearance on Piers Morgan. Instead, I was able to reach his audience with the message of Jesus the Messiah. Is this wrong? 5) I have exposed errors in the Charismatic church for decades, and I continue to do so to this day, but I am Charismatic because of the plain teaching of Scripture and again. I would gladly debate what the Scriptures say with any qualified non-Charismatic leader."
Dr. Brown is willing to debate John MacArthur and Justin Peters, in Brazil or in the U.S., about their stance against prophecy, revelation and other supernatural gifts for today. He said:
"I invite Mr. Peters to have a formal, moderated debate with me on what the Bible says – not what people say – about the gifts of the Spirit, including healing and prophecy, being promised by God in His Word for today. Let's not engage in rhetoric. Let's look at the Word."
I do not know if Brazilian charismatics are prepared for such debate.
CPAD, the biggest Pentecostal publishing house in Brazil, has published several books by anti-Pentecostal Calvinist John MacArthur, but it has not published "Authentic Fire," by Dr. Brown. In contrast, cessationist Calvinist publishers in Brazil will never publish any book by Dr. Brown or by any other charismatic, even though there is no anti-Calvinist Pentecostal version of John MacArthur in Brazil.
CPAD belongs to the Assemblies of God, which has over 12 million members in Brazil. The Presbyterian Church of Brazil, the first Calvinist denomination in Brazil, has 1 million members, but not all of them are cessationist.
MacArthur's "Strange Fire" has been published in Brazil by Thomas Nelson. Both Thomas Nelson and Zondervan, the two largest Protestant publishing houses in the world, belong to HarperCollins, which publishes the Satanic Bible, by Satanist Anton LaVey.
So the publisher and promoter of "Strange Fire" in Brazil is owned by HarperCollins, which publishes and promotes satanic books. This is satanic fire!
Yet, the publisher and promoter of other books by MacArthur in Brazil is Pentecostal giant CPAD. Does it make sense?
A schizophrenic contrast. Brazilian Pentecostals promote MacArthur. MacArthur does not promote Brazilian Pentecostals. MacArthur uses and abuses the Gospel to attack Pentecostals. Brazilian Pentecostals do not use and abuse the Gospel to attack MacArthur. Are Brazilian Pentecostals spiritual masochists who love to be labeled "heretics" for believing in supernatural gifts for today?
There is a real strange fire when "Strange Fire" and the Satanic Bible are published and promoted by the same source.
There is a stranger fire when books of an anti-Pentecostal Calvinist author are published and promoted by the biggest Pentecostal publisher in Brazil.

With Super Bowl XLVI approaching, there may be as many – or more – people are talking about "Star Wars" versus "Ferris Bueller" than about the Giants versus the Patriots.
The Super Bowl commercial pre-game hype is reaching new levels with this year's "Star Wars"-themed Volkswagen commercial racking up YouTube hits at greater rate than last year's. An Internet tease for another commercial – with Matthew Broderick apparently reprising his "Ferris Bueller" character in middle age – also has gone viral. We've even been treated a YouTube tease for an ad that, as the Los Angeles Times notes, is slated to debut in movie theaters Wednesday before making its Super Bowl Sunday appearance, courtesy of Kia Motors and model Adriana Lima. While the football game ends Sunday night, USA Today and Facebook will keep us waiting until Feb. 8 to declare a winner in the companies' best commercial vote.
It all could potentially ad up to make 2012 the year the Super Bowl ads surpass the game as the bigger spectacle.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Last year's Super Bowl drew a record 111 million viewers, and high expectations this go-round – for the game and for the commercials – suggest an even bigger crowd could flock to flat screens large and small Sunday. If you divide the audience into those interested in both football and commercials, those who watch just for the ads and those who run to the bathroom during breaks in the action, there's a good shot the ads will draw more attention than the game.
The commercials, like the Giants-Patriots showdown, carry the promise of entertainment. There's good reason to expect high-quality spots, with advertisers paying NBC a reported $3.5 million per 30-second slot, or more than $116,000 a second.
Looking at the bigger pop culture picture, though, there's a lot more in play than just commerce. With TV audiences generally in decline amid an Internet-driven segmentation in media, rising Super Bowl audiences provide one of the few remaining opportunities for shared, instant mass media entertainment experiences. In short, the commercials are something everybody can talk about – online or otherwise.
Part of the trick, it seems, is getting people talking early as well as getting them watching often – and enticing others to do same, whether via the Internet or by pulling in friends and family in front of the TV Sunday. Last year's cute and clever Volkswagen spot with the kid in the Darth Vader outfit notched 13 million YouTube views before kickoff and is closing in on 50 million nearly a year later. "The Bark Side," Volkswagen's new "Star Wars" doggie chorus ad, appears to be ahead of the game, with nearly 10 million hits a week before the big game.
The 10-second Broderick/Bueller tease video had logged nearly 4 million hits by Sunday night, spurring a guessing game over what the ad will be touting (though one oft-cited report suggested the Ferrari-loving Ferris has settled for a Honda in his older age).
The mini-mystery speaks to how some viewers tune into the commercials expecting to be surprised – whether via unannounced cameos (2010's Oprah-Letterman-Leno spot is the undisputed Super Bowl champ) or controversial ads (see last year's poorly executed Groupon mock charity spots – or just about anything from GoDaddy).
It's too early to tell, of course, which commercial will win the USA Today/Facebook honors. In the meantime, check out some early contenders – and teases – below as you plan a Super Bowl Sunday in front of the tube:

January 15, 1992, Section A, Page 20Buy Reprints
It's plainly wrong for a member of Congress to collaborate with a public relations firm to produce knowingly deceptive testimony on an important issue. Yet Representative Tom Lantos of California has been caught doing exactly that. His behavior warrants a searching inquiry by the House Ethics Committee.
Mr. Lantos is co-chairman of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. An article last week on The Times's Op-Ed page by John MacArthur, the publisher of Harper's magazine, revealed the identity of a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl who told the caucus that Iraqi soldiers had removed scores of babies from incubators and left them to die.
The girl, whose testimony helped build support for the Persian Gulf war, was identified only as "Nayirah," supposedly to protect family members still in Kuwait. Another piece of information was also withheld: that she is not just some Kuwaiti but the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the U.S.
Saddam Hussein committed plenty of atrocities, but not, apparently, this one. The teen-ager's accusation, at first verified by Amnesty International, was later refuted by that group as well as by other independent human rights monitors. But the issue is not so much the accuracy of the testimony as the identity and undisclosed bias of the witness.
How did the girl's testimony come about? It was arranged by the big public relations firm of Hill & Knowlton on behalf of a client, the Kuwaiti-sponsored Citizens for a Free Kuwait, which was then pressing Congress for military intervention. Mr. Lantos knew the girl's identity but concealed it from the public and from the other caucus co-chairman, Representative John E. Porter of Illinois.
Mr. Lantos says that the fact that Nayirah is the Ambassador's daughter did not alter her credibility. That doesn't wash. Had her identity been known, her accusations surely would have faced greater skepticism and been questioned more closely. Mr. Porter isn't angered that he was misled. But his complacency is far less troubling than Mr. Lantos's lack of candor and lapse of judgment.
The episode also calls into question the dubious financial dealings of the House caucus system. Unlike Congressional committees, which act on legislation, the caucuses bring together like-minded members to highlight issues like human rights abuses, the environment and minority concerns.
Current rules prohibit the caucuses from accepting private donations or government grants. But the caucuses often have close ties to companion nonprofit "foundations" or "institutes" that attract funds from special interests. Caucus leaders often play a central role in these foundations.
Until recently, for example, Mr. Lantos and Mr. Porter headed the Congressional Human Rights Foundation. It rents space in Hill & Knowlton's Washington headquarters at a reduced rate. The same Citizens for a Free Kuwait that produced the mysterious Nayirah also gave $50,000 to the foundation sometime after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. The foundation has financed caucus travel, including trips by Mr. Lantos and his wife.
Chances are that Congress would have voted to pursue the war even without this deception. Still, it's disappointing that Mr. Lantos, a tiger in pursuing low ethical standards at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, has turned into such a house pet.

Understanding The Psychology Of Injured Athletes And Returning To Play
Athletes face intense pressure to return to play when they are injured but the challenge for physicians is to have them return safely. This author explains the importance of social support and having a strong grasp of the motivations and fears of the injured athlete in order to facilitate rehabilitation of the injury and a successful return to the field of play.
Athletes are supposed to be tough and maintain a positive attitude while regularly playing through pain.1 When they are forced to sit out because of an injury, they should be focused and driven to return to play as quickly as possible. They should rest, rehabilitate and then trust that their bodies are ready to go full speed upon their return.
This is the idealistic view of sport and injury. However, the reality is that injuries are an unavoidable byproduct of being an athlete and the transition from "active athlete" to "injured athlete" and back to "active athlete" does not always occur without complications.
Injured athletes struggle with fear, frustration, anger and sometimes depression during their time away from sport, which may even prevent them from following their rehabilitation program effectively.2 Additionally, the return to sport itself yields a new set of adversities as athletes must navigate through personal fears and a desire to return to their pre-injury state along with team, family and coaching-related issues.
Why Social Support Is Key For Injured Athletes
Over the years, I have worked with numerous injured athletes and it is clear from our conversations that their perception regarding social support is significant to their overall well-being, attitude and effort toward returning. Athletes sometimes feel neglected and useless during their time away from sport. As a result, they may distance themselves further from those who could actually provide the support needed to improve their mood and determination to continue.
Social support comes in various forms, ranging from emotional support to task challenge support.3 Some injured athletes need a caring person just to listen to their fears while others may prefer a challenging push to work harder during rehabilitation. Regardless of the type of support, research has found connections between social support, decreased athlete stress and improved psychological well-being.4 Studies looking at the provision of social support have found that athletes feel most satisfied with the support provided by athletic trainers in comparison to support provided by coaches or teammates.5,6
It would appear obvious that athletes would desire support from those in a position to assist with the injury recovery process. In a college setting, this extra support is possible since teams have access to athletic trainers. However, injuries are not unique to the collegiate population, making it important to address who is or should be providing this support to younger athletes.
Researchers who directly addressed athletes' preferences from healthcare professionals found a desire for more information about the injury, a clearer timeline for return to play and an open environment in which athletes felt comfortable asking questions.7 In regard to athletes not fully understanding their injuries, they noted that they would have appreciated the use of models and more detailed explanations from their doctors. Respondents talked about doctors who did not talk to them and others who seemed frustrated by their questions.
Russell and Tracey also found that injured athletes wanted their doctors to ask about their emotions and psychological reaction to the injury.7 Although that is what athletes wanted, that was not what they received and the players' overall conclusion was that doctors did not have time for them.
Although healthcare providers are busy, it is essential that someone takes the time to help these injured athletes through the injury and return to play experience. The process is not easy and it does not end the moment an athlete is cleared to return. In fact, that can be the time when it gets even harder. Athletes return to the fields and coaches and teammates expect them to be the same as they were prior to the injury.
Although a full return may be possible in time, it will not happen immediately and the athletes, parents, teammates and coaches need to understand this. Athletes who have missed numerous practices or those who have been inactive for any period of time will require a slow progression back to their previous level. This is frustrating for coaches who may "need" that athlete and for the athlete who wants to return so as not to let down the team, coach or themselves. This desire to return triggers an internal struggle as the athlete wants to run hard and participate fully, but fears re-injury. Additionally, the athlete may want to listen to doctors and trainers while simultaneously appeasing the team and coach.
Pertinent Insights On The Eight Types Of Social Support
Therefore, one must provide social support in several ways throughout the recovery and return to play process. Richman, Rosenfeld and Hardy identified the following eight types of support: emotional support, emotional challenge support, reality confirmation support, task appreciation support, task challenge support, tangible support, personal assistance support and listening support.3
Emotional support and listening support can be helpful when athletes are explaining their feelings. This type of support helps the athlete feel relevant and cared for. If this type of support occurs early in the process, it is then easier to get a productive response when initiating emotional challenge support, which is intended to help recipients evaluate their attitude, values and feelings. Sometimes injured athletes get overly consumed in their own negativity, thus skewing their view of reality. It may take an outsider to challenge their views and help them see their personal responsibilities in their recovery.
This also speaks to the benefits of task challenge support, which is intended to challenge recipients to be more involved. Social support providers can challenge injured athletes to get more involved in their rehabilitation and find alternate ways of working with their teams. The type and amount of support required may differ per person, but the importance of it to one's psychological recovery and emotional well-being is undeniable.
Navigating The Emotions And Mindset Of Injured Athletes
The "what ifs" are likely harder than the actual situations once an athlete returns to play. Many athletes fear re-injury, continued pain or the possibility of not reaching their long-term goals.8 Athletes have expressed worries about not meeting others' expectations and ultimately letting down their teammates and coaches. These fears lead some athletes to conjure up the worst case scenarios regarding their return before even setting foot on the field.
For example, Brian was convinced that his coach no longer wanted him on the team because he was injured. He was certain there was no connection between his behaviors and his eventual status on the team because his coach had already replaced him. In reality, the coach did give another athlete a chance during Brian's time away from the field of play but he also gave Brian a chance to earn his position once he was healthy. Rather than seeing the situation as a positive challenge, Brian chose to see it as an uncontrollable obstacle.
In general, it is very difficult for athletes to see they are physically replaceable. In other words, there is always a chance that someone will be able to take their spot on the team. Accordingly, during the rehabilitation of an injury, it is critical to discuss the athlete's other qualities with him or her.
An athlete may be an amazing midfielder on the soccer team but discussing her abilities to make strong cuts, change her speed and score with both feet are not as important as her work ethic, positive attitude and leadership skills. When she returns to the field, it is her work ethic and positive attitude that will allow her to push herself, and put in the time and practice needed to put her in a position to eventually to regain her place on the field. In addition, it is her leadership skills that will allow her to make an impact even when she is not playing. Brian's thoughts led to complacency because he did not want to work for a position he felt he deserved.
Not every injured athlete has the same drive and determination to return. Sometimes the mindset changes because of the injury. At other times, the mindset is merely illuminated because of the injury. In other words, some athletes will do whatever it takes to return. Those are the athletes you need to put on a short leash so they do not re-injure themselves. Other athletes take the injury as their "way out." There is nothing wrong with taking an "out" from a sport that you truly do not want to play anymore. However, it is important to identify whether that person truly wants to quit the sport or whether he or she is just scared or unwilling to put in the hard work necessary to return.
Injured athletes sometimes create the belief in their minds that everyone is against them when, in reality, coaches and teammates have always wanted the same thing: athletes who work hard and perform effectively. Injured athletes only see that they are not included or that they are not the "go-to" athletes anymore. This typically happens as a result of inexperience or a lack of awareness on the part of coaches and teammates with regard to best practices with injured athletes. Although injured athletes translate their behaviors as a lack of concern or dislike, most coaches I interviewed regarding their perception of injured athletes explained it as a lack of knowledge concerning what to say to these individuals.
Still, there are times when a real incident incites an athlete's feeling of frustration. For example, a runner had broken her foot and after a long and arduous rehab, she returned to the track. Her runs were constantly painful and her coach thought she was "playing possum." This is a common phrase used by coaches about athletes who they feel are "faking it." Interestingly, this athlete's parent was close with her coach and the two influenced one another. This athlete recognized her coach's and her parents' frustrations, and she tried to return even faster and harder. Needless to say, her fear of disappointing others led to risky behaviors and ultimately re-injury.
It truly is a fuzzy line between working hard and working too hard. It is important to differentiate when an athlete is doing everything he or she should be doing versus doing too much. Similarly, it is important for an athlete to recognize when his or her mind is negatively influencing his or her chances for a full recovery. Taken together, the mind influences the behavior, making it critical to know that one's mind is focused on recovery and a healthy return, not the fear of disappointing others or frustration over being left out.
Coaches and parents both want athletes healed and returning to play as quickly as possible. More often than not, athletes want that same result. The problem is that all these people are pushing and pushing to get back without considering the difficulties and adjustments that need to happen upon one's return.
Starters may not necessarily be starters anymore. The fastest athlete on the team may not be able to run. Ultimately, everyone involved needs to shift their attention from "who he or she was before" to "who he or she is now." This is not a mindset of acceptance and inaction, but rather acceptance and planning to put one in the position to get better and stronger in the coming days, months and years if necessary.
These shifts in one's mindset do not happen overnight and they do not happen independently. Injured athletes must work on recognizing their thoughts and readjusting their thinking to benefit rather than hurt their ultimate return. They must first accept that they are injured. Later, they must accept that they are healed but not 100 percent. Throughout the process of a full return to play, these athletes should be setting small goals to ensure they keep getting better.
Emphasizing Realistic Goal-Setting To Facilitate Confidence And Motivation
Throughout the rehabilitation process, athletes should set small goals, adjust their mindset, surround themselves with supportive people and develop their patience.9 It is important for others like doctors, parents and coaches to understand the process, and provide athletes with support and resources to help them build in these areas. Simple strategies like setting daily rehabilitation goals followed by daily practice goals can help athletes experience small successes and ultimately build their confidence.
Every injured athlete wants to return to 100 percent but it will take time to get to that level. If they do not see small improvements over time, they are likely to lose the motivation and drive to continue. Once on the practice fields, the athlete has to set small goals based on his or her current as opposed to former status. The athlete will then see small daily improvements leading him or her in the direction of better performances in the future.
Building and/or maintaining confidence is essential, and it cannot be connected solely to results. Athletes should not be confident because they are starters on the team. Rather, athletes must recognize that confidence helps them push through failures, and keeps them trying even when situations are not going their way. Confidence is a way of thinking and acting that should be evident in everything one does regardless of the outcome.
Has The Injured Athlete Become Withdrawn?
In addition to building confidence, injured athletes must work on their overall outlook with regard to personal interactions. Injured athletes must recognize that they get what they give.9 If athletes separate themselves from the team and coaches during an injury or if athletes act sullen and quiet around teammates, they will likely get a similar response. It is always difficult to be injured.
Accordingly, the mind of an injured athlete tends to be focused inside. Injured athletes must learn to focus outward more and recognize not just how they feel, but also how others around them feel. During their time off the field, they can be better helpers, supporters and learners. Ultimately, you get what you give and if you wait for others to support and help you, the wait may be long.
Finally, although it is not good to wait for others to support you, it is important to ask for support when you need it. Parents, coaches and doctors do not always know when someone needs more information, a push or a word of support. Although it may be hard to do, it is so important for athletes to seek the support they need. Accordingly, it is helpful for doctors, parents and coaches to know who or what resources are available to help their injured athletes through such a difficult experience.
Research shows that most healthcare providers rarely or never refer injured athletes to a sport psychologist.10 These are the experts in the field who handle these situations daily and they should be part of the rehabilitation process.
In Conclusion
Given the intense emotions and possible negative effects associated with injury, it is clear that more education is necessary to ensure positive results for all involved. Injuries are unavoidable but they do not have to be completely devastating to one's life and well-being if handled effectively. It is clear that injured athletes experience adversity because of the injury itself and because of the overall change to their lives and daily routines. The physical healing is sometimes easier than the mental return to play because the bone may heal and the tear may be fixed, but the mind does not change as readily.
Therefore, it is important for all involved to understand that mending an injured athlete requires attention to both the body and the mind. One can accomplish this with better awareness, education and effort of doctors, coaches, parents and athletes alike.

Sometimes you just randomly see a cool spot
Sometimes you have a plan, in this case, shoot engagements at Mt. Tabor Park, but sometimes, you see a much cooler spot on the way to the planned spot. As we were driving up the hill to the parking lot of the park, I saw this awesome field. Flowers, trees, steep hill, etc and thought,that would make a cool photo. So after we shot at the planned location, we went back and then the rain started making the light perfect and I had them walk up and down the hill while I stood on the top of my truck for a better angle. I like it.Email This Post

Rogue Ales recently teamed up with Portland's legendary Voodoo Doughnut (the bakery that became infamous by foodie travel shows for their odd doughnut flavors) to create a limited-release beer that pays homage to Voodoo's Bacon Maple Bar — a raised yeast doughnut topped with maple frosting and crispy bacon. Containing a baker's dozen number of ingredients (13), the smoked malts, Applewood bacon and natural maple flavoring and are the stars in this smoked ale. The bubblegum pink bomber bottle (750 ml; $13) sports Voodoo's signature color and logo, setting itself apart from Rogue's typically brown bottles.
The 5.6% ABV Voodoo pours a dark amber color with a light head that dissipates fairly quickly. At first whiff, there's a ton of smokiness with a slight hint of maple syrup. Some said their noses were hit with a huge wave of maple or have even smelled Eggo waffles and syrup, but I blame that on the power of suggestion or their preconceived expectations. This is a smoke monster and not much else comes through on the nose.

Andreas Nauen's move from being chief executive of Siemens to leading respected but small turbine builder Repower attracted far more attention than Repower's hiring of chief financial officer Derrick Noe a month earlier. But taken together, the shake-out of the two top heads of the company signals a major overhaul in the company's course ahead. That overhaul could explain Nauen's shock move.
Tulsi Tanti, chairman of Repower's supervisory board, is the driving force behind the choice of new management. Tanti's family is major stakeholder of Indian company Suzlon, which owns 91% of Repower.
He is particularly pleased with Nauen. "Andreas has an incredibly impressive record," says Tanti. "Indeed, the Siemens business he ran is worth about EUR3 billion. He is deeply passionate about renewables and has the experience, energy and vision to take Repower through its next stage of growth."
For Nauen, it will be an interesting change with new corporate and cultural challenges. He has grown the Siemens wind business from modest beginnings after the conglomerate acquired the small Danish privately owned wind turbine builder Bonus Energy in 2004.
With annual volume of EUR3 billion, Siemens Wind is now on a par with Germany's independent turbine builder Enercon, and about two-thirds of the size of GE Wind's business, which had a turnover of EUR4.5 billion in 2009.
But it's still a small cog in the big Siemens operation. As Siemens Wind is part of Siemens Renewables - in turn, part of Siemens Energy, which reports to the Siemens overall board - Nauen found himself in the fourth tier of management at the Siemens conglomerate.
Starting again
At Repower, Nauen appears to be starting over again, preparing to grow another small turbine builder, this time acting in the second tier of management in a much smaller operation and reporting to Suzlon and its largely family-owned Indian parent company. Repower operates as an independent firm that Suzlon is likely to want to completely control. Back in mid-2008, Suzlon moved to sign a domination contract.
A domination contract is an option allowed under Germany's public companies act, in which the management control of one stock company is subordinated to the management of another stock-holding company. But Nauen's tasks may be considerably weightier than just growing Repower, explaining his interest in moving from a whale of a company with a worldwide blue-chip reputation to a minnow in the wind business. Comparing the recent progress and development of Suzlon's and Repower's turbine business, it seems possible and likely that Repower will take the dominant role in Suzlon's future business. Nauen could then be responsible for integrating Repower with Suzlon's own wind turbine manufacturing business, with the cultural and corporate intricacies this will involve, but also looking after all of Suzlon's other, considerable, turbine component manufacturing businesses.
When Suzlon acquired Repower in mid-2007, the German company was tiny. But the tables are clearly turning. Suzlon's financial performance has taken a dramatic dive, with Repower's a picture of health. In the last quarter of 2009, the sales figures of Suzlon's turbine generator division were virtually identical with Repower's, but Repower's operating income was more than twice that of its Indian parent.
And looking at Suzlon's operation as a whole, Nauen would be back in charge of an operation similar in size to the one he left at Siemens, and enjoy more personal clout. Noe will be Nauen's right-hand man.
He brings expertise for a potential merger of Repower with Suzlon. At Noe's appointment, Tanti praised him for his experience, in particular as financial advisor and turnaround manager for several international firms.

I've been continuing on a quest to locate more data on my father's family. As I've pointed out earlier when attempting to find all of the different variations of the surname, it becomes difficult locating these individuals because of the many variant name spellings.
Knowing that some of dad's family did come through Pennsylvania, I had been scouring the records on FamilySearch.com in order to see if perchance I could find any hint of my family in Cambria and Blair counties or the regions surrounding Altoona. I knew to look at these areas because a few death certificates indicated that a few cousins were born in that region. This was a search similar to finding the proverbial needle in a haystack because of the name. But persistence paid off, and I've found more variants in the name spelling. I think this time the errors were literally due to clerical errors.
A huge question I've had is how, or if, Konstanty Mierzejewski is related to the family. (Note that while I have linked to a previous post that states I think Konstanty was a sibling of my grandfather, I have since had information that leads me to disregard that idea. But there is some good identifying material in that post in case anyone stumbles upon this website.) My guess is that Konstanty may well be related, but I can't prove it yet. The parents I have for him are not those of either my grandmother OR my grandfather. I have only been able to ascertain through a 1912 Philadelphia Passenger list that Konstanty had been born somewhere near Brwilno Gone, a considerable distance from my grandparents' ancestral villages of Gerwaty and Borowce. All three villages surround Warsaw, and all were considered part of the Russian Partition of Poland. It is very possible Konstanty is no relation. Still, Konstanty's life patterns were all too parallel to my grandparents' family, he was in the Cambria County and Altoona, Pennsylvania regions shortly after his immigration here; my grandmother's brother Wladyslaw Mierzejewski (not to be confused with her HUSBAND Wladyslaw Mierzejewski–can you understand my constant confusion?) had settled for a period in the Altoona, Pennsylvania region–his eldest daughter, Sophia was born in Altoona. Additionally, another of my grandmother's brothers, Jan, had settled near Altoona for a time and his first daughter, Helen, was born in Altoona. The last in a trifecta of coincidences that leads me to believe Konstanty might very well be related through one of my grandparents is that upon my grandparents' arrival here, they were living at 1763 Buckingham. They arrived in February, 1923 and this address is reflected on my father's birth certificated dated December 23, 1924. Konstanty had used this address on his 1918 World War I draft registration. Unfortunately, I have not been able to trace the ownership of this home at the time (it was likely rented though) and by 1920, Konstanty had moved to Detroit Avenue, just a few blocks away. Coincidence or relationship? That is the question I am still trying to solve.
I digressed, considerably. Some digging through the few records for Pennsylvania on FamilySearch.com did bring two marriage records for the Mierzejewski clan! And were those names mangled.
I did locate the marriage record for Konstanty and Stephania. And this record provides a hint as to where the permutation spelling MIEZEJEWSKI may have arisen. It is how the name is spelled on the official county marriage record. However, in Konstanty's situation, all other records that I've located use the spelling MIERZEJEWSKI. This marriage record doesn't provide much information that I did not have prior, I knew the parents (Julian and Anna); however, the name of the priest marrying the couple is provided. That is a clue, and with that name may be able to trace the parish they were married in sometime! Also note that the bride's name is incorrect. She is listed as Suffie, and we know her name was Stephania. Additionally, the bride's surname is provided as Decosky, which also is incorrect, the name on other records for Stephania is DYKOWSKI. However, knowing these spellings may be helpful in the future. Click the image to view it full size.
The second Mierzejewski marriage record I've located was that for my grandmother's brother, Wladyslaw (Walter) and his wife, Bronisława (Bernice). This marriage occurred November 6, 1912. And (the themes continue…do I hear the violins yet?) the names are misspelled and indicates that Mierzejewskis married other Mierzejewskis. I knew Bernice was a Mierzejewski prior to marriage; however, it is misspelled for both of the groom and the bride. For the groom, the name is spelled MIERZEYSKI and for the bride the name is spelled MERSEJEWSKA. I did learn one new interesting fact about my grand uncle. I did not know he was previously married. According to this marriage record, Wladyslaw was widowed September 2, 1910. So, another hint to follow. It may be possible his first wife died in Pennsylvania. I also did not know Bernice's parents prior; their names are given as Peter and Emily–so some good possibilities to chase down with first names would be Piotr and Anelia or Emilia. Click to enlarge the record and view it full size.
I think another theme with my locating my grandparents' family will be patience! Given that I know that at least several of my ancestors married others with the same surname and give how many ways the surname has been spelled, I think I'm just going to need a lot of patience. Lord, give me patience and give it to me now? Old joke, I know. But I know so much about my mother's side of the family and so little of my dad's that I wonder if they are playing tricks on me by revealing themselves to me ever so slowly. Mom's family was wham bam thank you m'am, here we are! They were relatively easy to find and connect unlike my dad's family. While I continue to learn about mom's family, I also want that history in Russian Poland that forced my grandfather here in 1923!

People with the surname of Tittemore, Tittimore, Tetemore and even Littemore, are probably all in the same family. I don't have a direct line, but I do have a lot of Tittemore names in my database, because there is one small connection. My direct ancestor, James Gibbins Pell's daughter Mary Elizabeth Pell married Herbert Eugene Tittemore. Mary and Herbert left Quebec, Canada and settled in California.That is perhaps what Donna saw before she wrote me a letter, part is below. And, along with the message, she sent me a great family photo, with no names. It is my hope somebody will eventually find their way to this post and the photo and recognize somebody. Below is a report on the individuals I have in my tree. Thank you Donna for writing and sharing your photo, I can't wait for the time when I can tell you who these people are.
"Hello - I found your "Roots Web" post about the Tittemore family. I have been researching information on this family today, as it is possible that I have a family portrait of "Tittemores". The portrait was taken circa 1892 - 1900 in Sacramento, California by Asher Photography. There is a rather "blurred" name in the photograph (upper right corner) that appears to be maybe "Tittemore". It is the only thing I have to go on as to the people in the photograph.
The Tittemore family is not related to me. I found the old photograph in the laundry room of my mother in law (Mrs Warner) who passed at age 90 in 1995. Because of it's age, I have stored it, thinking the people might be related to my husband's family.
My research so far finds - There is a Tittimore buried in the Sacramento City Cemetery. There is an article in the Woodland Daily Democrat dated Feb 1902 regarding the estate of one T W Tittimore, executor H E Tittimore. Woodland is about 20 minutes from Sacramento.
Anyway.. If you are interested, I have attached a jpeg of the photograph if you would like to see it. Perhaps the information about the Tittemore estate in Woodland will be of help to you.
Good Luck in your research.. "

I just read osfameron's Readable Perl talk. It's a pretty typical language advocation talk, nothing special, but it reminded me of Perl. Those who have not been reading my blog since 2005 may not know that I used to be a Perl nut. I was even on the Perl 6 design team, attended several design mettings with Larry Wall (and a couple other notable geniuses), had the Perl 6 syntax memorized, …. Quite insane I was.
I have been pondering recently about the cognitive mismatch between OO and functional approaches. The two have been fused in languages, see O'Caml, but I argue that code in such a fused language will mostly end up looking like one or the other, not a beautiful balance as we would like.
My thesis is that the two support different models of the universe. The functional approach supports a "mathematical" view, where we know a lot about the structure of our data; the object approach supports an "empirical" view, where we know a lot about the data itself. Let's use something I was playing with today as an example: the SK calculus.
The obvious functional approach is to define a data type representing the cases of the AST:
data AST = S | K | AST :@ AST
(The :@ is the name of an infix constructor; i.e. it is just a node with two subtrees)
Then to implement a function that, say, reduces the top level of a tree, we can analyze the data by pattern matching:
reduce (S :@ x :@ y :@ z) = Just $ x :@ z :@ (y :@ z) reduce (K :@ x :@ y) = Just $ x reduce _ = Nothing
Here we know a lot about what kind of argument reduce will get. Whatever it gets, we know that it will be either an S, a K, or an application. We then define what it means to reduce data of this form.
Now I could half-bake a standard OO retort showing how much incredibly better functional programming is by how awkward this would be in a typical OO language (and it would be). But that's trying to apply the functional world-view, that we know a lot about the structure of our data, to an OO setting. I think a good OO design for this same problem would take quite a different form. I see it something like this:
interface Combinator { int arguments(); AST apply(AST[] args); } class S implements Combinator { override int arguments() { return 3; } override AST apply(AST[] args) { return new Apply(new Apply(args[0], args[2]), new Apply(args[1], args[2]); } } class K implements Combinator { override int arguments() { return 2; } override AST apply(AST[] args) { return args[0]; } } ...
While I gave a working Haskell program above in four lines, my "good" OO solution (in whatever language this is… looks like C#) has much more than that and is not even complete. I have left out the definition of Apply and the function which actually does the reduction. But I'm not bashing OO here (but please do understand if I bash OO syntax, which as the years go by seems to get more and more verbose). Instead it's just that this problem is very well-suited to functional programming.
But this program has very different properties from the Haskell version. In particular, it is easy to add a new combinator, a new object, that does something different. Whereas in the Haskell program, adding a new primitive combinator would change the assumptions of every function that worked with combinators. Conversely, adding data manipulation functions which depend on particulars, namely whether something is an S or a K (or whatever else), involves touching every object to add that method. Whereas in Haskell, we can just add a new function. Astute readers will recognize this as the famous "expression problem".
This trade-off starts to affect the way we proceed. If we were to implement identical functionality in the two programs, our approaches will diverge greatly. For example, today I added a function to invert an application. In Haskell, I just enumerated by cases: this is how you invert an S-reduction, this is how you invert a K-reduction, etc.
In the OO program I wouldn't add a visitor though, that would be stupid. Instead I would create a new node type for variables, apply the transformation to a number of variables equal to the number of expected arguments, and analyze the positions of the variables in the result. I would end up with a function that can invert any combinator. That is, the natural next step in the OO example is to write more generic code than in the functional example.
Anyway, there's what I consider a nice side-by-side comparison of the two approaches. Maybe by analyzing these two examples and where they led, you can start to see what I'm saying about the two cognitive models.
And this brings me back to Perl. The slides I read mentioned Moose, an object model module for Perl. It is rich: supports inheritance, role composition, privacy, coersion, and many other tools. I think an OO system needs to have these tools: the OO world view counts on data having many facets, capabilities, constituents, and concerns itself with what is possible when you know about certain ones. An OO programmer must be an expert at creating data with many facets, capabilities, and constituents. This is contrasted to functional programming where everything is known about the data, and the focus is on manipulating it.
Haskell has no support for these tools. Its type system, although powerful, is too static. Haskell provides too many guarantees for OO to work; it wants to know too much about what's going on. Similarly I don't consider C++, Java, C# to be "powerful" OO languages. In fact, I might go so far as to say a language with static types and OO is not properly embracing the philosophy. You're creating rich, smart data. If your superclass guaranteed that a particular method was const, i.e. does not change the object it was called on, how are you supposed to smartly cache the results of that function? Well, with the mutable hack. But that's a hack, essentially telling the type system that it should go take a hike because you know what you're doing.
Perl and Smalltalk "get it", in my opinion. They have simple models, but provide tools for looking inside and changing data on the fly. They are about creating and manipulating smart data, leaving the guarantees up to the naming of the methods and their intended use, because trying to force guarantees would restrict their ability to be smart. If you want guarantees, use Haskell; it will almost prove your code is correct for you. But Haskell has no smart data, that's the only way it can provide guarantees. You can't have case analysis of data structures and objects that can reverse-engineer your function at the same time.
That's it: when you're in OO, don't design functionally. Keep your guarantees wide open, and focus on making smart objects.


text: Back Lecithin Lecithin is also known as alpha-phosphatidylcholines, lecithinum ex soya, sojalecithin, or soy lecithin. General description Lecithin does not refer to a single chemical but rather to a group of closely related chemicals. Lecithins in turn belong to a larger group of compounds called phospholipids, which are important components of the brain, blood, nervous tissue, and other tissues. The body uses lecithin in the transporting of fats and in the metabolic process. Lecithins consist of a base structure containing choline and a phosphate group called the L-alpha-glycerophosphorylcholine skeleton. A long fatty-acid chain is attached to this skeleton. The length and position of the chain determines the type of lecithin. People are probably most familiar with lecithin as the oily film on their frying pan when they use a nonstick cooking spray. Recommended intake Lecithin is available in capsules, liquid, and granules. There is no recommended intake amount. Foods containing lecithin include egg yolks, soybeans, wheat germ, peanuts, and liver. Signs of lecithin deficiency are not obvious. Whatever signs and symptoms may be present are thought to be related to choline deficiency. Choline deficiency in animals may lead to abnormal liver function and kidney damage. Choline-associated liver dysfunction has led to liver cancer in laboratory animals, but a similar link has not been demonstrated in humans. Side effects, toxicity and interactions Lecithin in normal doses may cause stomachache, diarrhea or loose stools. Information is not yet available concerning excessive lecithin intake. There are no known contraindications to lecithin. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a physician before taking any dietary supplements. There are no known significant food or drug interactions. Additional information Click here for a list of reputable websites with general information on nutrition.

- I was at the game.
- One thing everyone saw was our starting defense get used by Cleveland's offense. I know some guys were missing, but we had most of our starters. The Cleve was able to run the ball OK, but they carved us up through the air. And it was Jake Delhomme doing it too – not pretty. It was a poor start to the overall season but I'm not ready to get too worked up about it yet.
- AJ Hawk seemed to be solely at fault for one of the TDs (the third one I believe). He really struggles in coverage. The guy put one quick move on him and had an easy TD.
- I was seriously relieved to see what seems to be a legit punting duel. While I know I missed some apparently questionable punts at the end of the game, I saw a couple huge punts with fantastic hang time. I realize that there's not really anywhere to go but up for our punting game, but I was still encouraged by the legs of both punters.
- Brady Poppinga had a couple nice plays – but I have no idea why he started the game (or at least played most of the snaps) at LOLB. From what I could tell Brandon Chillar barely played with the starting group (it was Jones and Poppinga in the outside spots).
- Finley will be unstoppable this year. The guy is seriously talented and perhaps more importantly, seems to absolutely love playing the game. Not sure what the TV crowd could see, but Finley was pretty active getting the crowd pumped up before series would start, after getting a first down, etc. I'm already thinking Finley may end up being one of the sneaky best draft picks by TT. And while we're at it, let's give credit to the coaching for bringing him along like they have.
- On a related Finley note, it was very evident to me just how much his presence (especially when he spreads out wide) causes serious match-up issues for defenses. LBs in coverage have no chance – none. And CBs are too small (and also when CBs switch over to cover him, it seems to open things up for Driver and Jennings.)
- Last year, when Rodgers was asked why he was sacked far less frequently in the 2nd half of the season, his answer was simple and somewhat surprising: Jermichael Finley. He essentially said that when Finley is in there, defenses have so much trouble figuring out how defend him that Rodgers can get rid of the ball quicker.
- Didn't take much from this game overall – but here were a few players who looked decent to me: Charlie Peprah, Mike Neal, Quinn Porter, Andrew Quarless.

I have not seen the game yet. Set to DVR it tonight on NFL network.
Disappointed to hear that about Hawk. If he is going to be marginal in coverage then you might as well get Bishop on the field more.
I was at family night and saw both punters live also. I thought they both punted really well at family night especially when they both kicked out of the back of the end zone. Both kicked the crap out of the ball. During war-ups Bryan just kicked the ball. Masthay spent a good deal of time on footwork and ball drops. Bryan seems to be more fluid and gets the ball out quicker. Masthay has the leg but not as fluid with his feet and ball drops. I'm guessing Bryan sticks for that reason unless holding for Crosby is an issue or something.
How'd Bulaga look at guard?

Bulaga was great, both at LG and LT if you ask me, great recognition, great physicallity and great balance. I think (scratch that) I know we got a winner with him.

I TIVOed the game and watched a bit of it tonight. On the Brown's first TD, their fullback's job was to block Hawk. Hawk's job was to avoid the fullback and make the tackle. So the Brown's FB seeked contact with Hawk, successfully occupied him so the RB could run by Hawk and score. What I am irate about is that Hawk didn't seem to even try to avoid the contact with the FB.
I'm thinking, why was he a 5th pick? He repeatedly gets exposed in coverage – that's been repeatedly pointed out. But if he cannot shed / avoid blockers on opponent's run plays, what is he out there for? I'm just amazed and disgusted that he did not try to avoid the Brown's FB. It seems to be such a fundamental mental error.

I watched the first half last night and I thought Bulaga did pretty good. He got pushed back into the pocket one play at RG but pretty much dealt with his man and recognition on every other play. I thought Colledge had a decent game also in the first half. No idea how good the guys across from them were playing for Cleveland but both did well.
I thought the first team offense played extremely well apart from Grant's fumble. Excited about this team offensively this year. Quinn Johnson is a wrecking ball. When they ask him to run full speed and blow up a LB he does really well. Not sure he can catch, hit the right hole, or if he can pick up blitzes but man does he knock people backward.
We are going to see a whole bunch of spread this year. AZ gave the league the blueprint and until Capers proves they can stop it the league is going to give us big doses of it. I liked Burnett's willingness to stick his nose into a tackle. I also thought Poppinga (gasp!) had some nice plays. He was sure more productive then Jones.

My impressions after skimming most of the first 3 quarters last night:
O-line looked good, not just in protection but in creating lanes in the rush game. If the O-line is above average this is a scary offense. I am not convinced yet, because it mostly looked good in last years preseason too, but there is reason to hope that they will take the step up.
Flynn looked sharp, he has improved and I feel confident he could be a placeholder if Rodgers went down.
Rodgers looks ready to join the elite QBs, or should I say solidify his place in the elite. still so accurate and seemingly more comfortable and confident. the sky is the limit for him.
Nice to see Harrell have a pulse. someone in the DL rotation besides the starters is going to have to emerge to replace Jolly, Harrell has as good a shot as anyone.
LBs were unimpressive. still concerned that this group could be the weak link holding this team back.
DBs were pretty good, and it was great to see Al Harris on the sidelines in good spirits. If he, bigby and blackmon can contribute at all this could be the surprise strength of this team and maybe one of the surprise groups in the league. TT has quietly assembled a very athletic group back there and maybe the light flicks on for some of the young guys this year.
Looks like we may actually have a punter this year, which would be a welcome change.
Kickoff coverage still seems to be below avg . . . amazing because they seemed to put so much emphasis on special teams for the last few years. I don't get it.
Overall, I think the D getting beat up a little bit isn't the worst thing for the first preseason game. they need to be reminded how much work they need to do; in some ways if they had come out and shut down a bad-to-mediocre Cle. team I fear they might have gotten complacent. I think we will see a much better performance next time out.

Couldnt agree more with you on Finley. I was at the game as well and noticed that right away. When they spread him outside in either a 3 or 4 receiver set, it was a guaranteed 12-15 yard play (at least). Defenses couldnt put a LB outside to cover him because they could cross up the routes and leave a LB on Jennings. Further, they couldnt put a CB on him because unless its a tall one, Finley catches it over him. It was incredible.
The D played awful, and Hawk was completely to blame. He was totally exposed a few times and looked like a 3rd stringer. It's time to either trade or release him. He's useless.
Past that, its the first preseason game so I wasnt too disappointed, espcially bc woodson was not playing as a number 1 CB (mostly nickel, from what I saw); and we have some early injuries.
Special teams played well, punting was pretty good. I liked the aussie better, but the other guy almost put one inside the five on the second punt of the game. It was about a yard long before it bounced back for him.

you can never really tell from these pre-season games but on the plus side it looks like my prediction for calling Green Bay mr. Rogers neighborhood could happen – sharp quick passes – i dont remember him gettin the ball out that quick last year- on the negative -the D is the big question mark- and thats the championship side of the ball.

Kentucky Derby: Trainer Todd Pletcher looks for first success
With the strongest racing stable in America, Todd Pletcher enters the Kentucky Derby in a position of extraordinary strength. He will saddle at least 25 percent of the field: Verrazano, the undefeated colt who is the probable favorite; Revolutionary, the formidable stretch-runner who won the Louisiana Derby; Overanalyze, runaway winner of the Arkansas Derby; and two others.
Yet there is a reason to question the chances of the Pletcher contingent. The trainer's previous runners in the Derby have compiled a collective 1-for-31 record, with two seconds and one third. Many have performed dismally: Six times since 2000, a Pletcher horse has finished last or next-to-last.
It's a mystifying record. Is it an aberration, or a sign that there is some flaw in Pletcher's approach to the Derby?
Pletcher said, "People seem to think that I've been training for 50 years. But my first Derby starter was in 2000, and the best I could have done is to win 12 races." He is correct that this is not necessarily a meaningful sample. His former boss, Wayne Lukas, used to be derided for his failures in the Derby but eventually wound up with four victories to his credit.
Pletcher's barn is restocked every year with blue-chip prospects. He dominates the 2-year-old races at Saratoga (where the nation's best youngsters traditionally debut) and he dominates 3-year-old maiden races at Gulfstream Park with his late-bloomers. Pletcher moves his colts around the country like pieces on a chessboard and dominates the prep races leading up to the Derby. Yet by the first Saturday in May, the Pletcher 3-year-olds often don't look so formidable. Remarkably, the trainer has never saddled a Derby favorite before this year, and more than half of his starters have been 20 to 1 or more.
Part of the explanation for the attrition of his forces is sheer bad luck. Pletcher's undefeated colt Algorithms was a brilliant prospect in 2012 before a leg fracture ended his career. Uncle Mo was the best 3-year-old of his generation in 2011, but a liver ailment knocked him out of the Triple Crown. Eskendereya would have been the standout favorite in the 2010 Derby, but he suffered a career-ending leg injury less than two weeks before the race. If these horses had stayed healthy, the racing world might be hailing Pletcher for his mastery of the Derby.
Nevertheless, the Pletcher horses who do run in the Derby rarely rise to the occasion and deliver a peak performance. (Super Saver, his lone Derby success, might be counted as an exception, but Super Saver in 2010 was one of the luckiest Derby winners ever, benefiting from a perfect ground-saving trip while runner-up Ice Box -- who deserved to win -- encountered insuperable trouble.)
I asked Pletcher if it was possible that his customary training regimen was somehow ill-suited to the Derby.
"I don't think our training methods are wrong," he said. "Hopefully we've learned some things over the years and have included some things that we can do differently. It doesn't guarantee that we can win this year because we [have five starters], but I think it shows that at least our methods of getting to this point are pretty effective."
But getting to the Derby is not the same as winning the Derby, and the form of Pletcher horses often seem to be on a decline by the date of the main event.
I can offer one possible theory to explain Pletcher's poor record in the Derby and the rest of the Triple Crown series. (He is 0 for 7 in the Preakness and 1 for 11 in the Belmont Stakes.) His training philosophy emphasizes the importance of spacing horses' races, giving the animals plenty of time to recover from a hard effort. His runners are at their best after a rest. Pletcher horses laid off for more than 90 days have compiled an exceptional record in graded stakes, winning 30 percent of the time over the past five years. By contrast, his horses coming back after a month or less win graded stakes at an18 percent rate.
Pletcher can usually manage horses' schedules so that they get the optimal amount of time between races. But he doesn't have that luxury with his 3-year-old Derby prospects because they must go through a demanding series of prep races to be fit on the first Saturday in May. (Perhaps it is significant that Pletcher's 2007 Belmont Stakes winner, Rags to Riches, was a filly who, because of her gender, had not been subjected to the prep-race grind.)
To prepare for the 139th Derby, Verrazano has had a tough schedule that is atypical of a Pletcher runner. He made his career debut Jan. 1, and subsequently raced Feb. 2, March 9 and April 6. After dominating his rivals in his first three starts, he had to work hard to win his most recent, the Wood Memorial Stakes, by less than a length despite an easy trip. The trajectory of his form resembles that of Gemologist last year, who won all of his races but was hard-pressed to win a slow Wood Memorial and then finished 16th in the Derby.
Pletcher is such a skillful trainer, and he has so many good horses, that he is bound to start winning Derbies as Lukas did. His 1-for-31 start will look like a statistical oddity, and theories to explain his lack of success will be disproved. But until he definitively turns the tide, handicappers should look warily upon Pletcher's 3-year-olds, even the potential stars such as Verrazano.

Round 21 preview, plus all the latest footy news on the In The Clear NRL Podcast
The "Cardiac Panthers" need to improve if they want to challenge for the title according to In the Clear NRL Podcast co-hosts Chris Boulous and Matt Lawrence.
Hawkesbury Gazette journalist Krystyna Pollard joined the boys to talk all things Penrith ahead of round 21.
"They have the talent to win the title but they need to be consistent," Pollard said.
"The talk around the coach Anthony Griffin and Nathan Cleary doesn't help."
Boulous questioned the Panthers title credentials with an injury-plagued James Maloney and out-of-position Tyrone Peachey being hamstrung by a forward pack that isn't laying a platform.
"The return of Reagan Campbell-Gillard can't come quick enough," he said.
"At this stage I have them missing the four."
Also on this week's show, run their eye over round 21 with the Sharks and Broncos the most fancied to notch wins.
"Now is the time for the top teams to show they want to play finals," Lawrence said.
