CBS) What's it like to be fighting in Iraq, nearly two years into the war? 60 Minutes wanted to find out. So last fall and winter, Correspondent Scott Pelley joined up with the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Marine Regiment in one of the most hostile places in Iraq today.
Pelley and a 60 Minutes crew spent two weeks with the Marines in November.
The battalion, known as 2/5 Marines, is on its second tour in Iraq. For these men, the resistance has turned out to be far deadlier than the invasion itself.
60 Minutes first aired the story in January as the Marines were "under fire" in Anbar province, the heart of the resistance.
Every morning, the colors rise outside Whiskey Company, 2/5 Marines. To the flag, the Marines chain the dog tags of the men who died under the Stars and Stripes.
In the war to topple Saddam, the battalion lost one man. In the war on the insurgency, it's lost 14, most of them from Whiskey Company.
Cpl. Jake McCloskey won a purple heart for wounds suffered in September.
He says his second tour has been a lot harder than the first. "It's an enemy I can't identify right away. Last time ,uniforms made it a lot easier. These guys hide, they hide with the regular populous and it's very difficult to find them."
With 60 Minutes cameras present, a patrol in Ramadi was hit with a rocket-propelled grenade, seemingly from nowhere.
Pfc. Josh Johnson was badly wounded.
Second Lt. John McKinley, the patrol's commander, says, "Right now he's unconscious. Sounds like it came from the north, sir. From over our head. Roger, it sounded like it came from over our heads, don't know if it was a mortar or an RPG. Did it come from the north? Hey, how is he, doc? What have we got. Hey, let's not lose our minds here. Let's see this, roger, he's bleeding pretty bad out of his leg right now. We definitely need to get him out of here. He's definitely an urgent right now."
They did get him out. Johnson, with shrapnel in both legs, was medevaced to a combat hospital. He's home now, in the United States, making a full recovery, one of about 150 men wounded in the battalion since September. His comrades never found the man with the RPG.
"It's three dimensional. Every direction up, down, left, right, below you," says McCloskey. "I mean there's always a possibility that somebody could pop out somewhere, there's an IED [roadside bomb]. Sometimes you can't see them. A lot of times, you can't see them so you've got to be constantly looking for something that maybe the day before that wasn't there." He figures you can tell if something isn't right two times in 10.
Whiskey Company corporals Jack Evers and Joseph Terwilliger said if the Marines don't know what's about to happen, the people in town usually do.
"Most times before it happens, the general populous is gone. They'll go inside and they lock up their shops and they leave. And nine times out of 10, the people left out there are the insurgents or whoever it is attacking us, and it's us versus them at that time," says Terwilliger.
"Just drive by a group of locals and then 10 minutes later you can drive back by and the same guy is walking by you, can be pointing an AK [automatic rifle] at you, or shooting an RPG, or setting an IED out alongside the road. So they're guerrillas out here."
(CBS) The Marines look out on Ramadi from a base called Hurricane Point. Once the grounds of a palace, it is now home to several hundred Americans.
They venture out into the city only in combat patrols, magazines locked, chambers loaded, ready to fire. They leave the gates sealed in armored Humvees or ducking below the steel plate that they've welded on to open trucks.
In some parts of Iraq, children chase and cheer as Humvees go by. But you don't get much of that here. Ramadi is the capital of Anbar province, home of Iraq's Sunni minority, the once powerful supporters of Saddam.
60 Minutes joined the Marines along the main drag that they call Route Michigan with the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Randall Newman. His men run patrols to show presence, to search for weapons and to defend the offices of the U.S.-backed governor. The building is scarred by mortars, rockets and snipers.
"Ramadi is a town, advertised population coming in about 358,000," says Newman. "So I think if I've got my numbers right, that's somewhere around the size of Kansas City. Off in the distance, you see that tall building, you see with the charred-out window…that was where a sniper was that worked on us about a month ago."
The Marines have to defend this state capital from behind sandbags and bulletproof windows they pulled from Humvees.
"It's difficult when you're fighting an insurgency to probably say who owns anything on any given day," says Newman. "To win this type of fight, requires patience, presence and persistence."
Persistence to get past what has become the signature weapon in this war: what the military calls an IED, for improvised explosive device. It means a roadside bomb. Several Marines have not survived the drive on Route Michigan. So when they're leaving the base, the superstitious squeeze good luck charms.
Then they dash down Michigan fast, scanning for trash or dirt that might hide a bomb. There's a feeling of determined resignation in the Humvee. It's either your day or its not. For a patrol on Route Michigan joined by 60 Minutes, the luck ran out.
The shock wave from an IED stopped a 60 Minutes camera. The wounds were relatively minor. The armored Humvee held up. But it's more hazardous in the open trucks. Marines have customized them themselves and call these weld wagons "Frankensteins."
From Hurricane Point to the governor's office is the gauntlet run where most of the IEDs on Route Michigan have been set. In fact, there was a time not too long ago when there were as many as a dozen IEDs on this road in just one day. Marines have nicknamed one intersection the "Axis of Evil" because of all the IEDs they've encountered there.
In November, 60 Minutes went on several combat patrols with Whiskey Company and their commander, Capt. Pat Rapicault.
He's an unusual Marine. Born in France, he came to the United States as a student. His accent is part France, part Mississippi. His men tease him about it and some of them call him Frenchie.
Rapicault, 34 and married, may have been born to be a Marine officer. He was first in his class in Ranger school. When 60 Minutes met him, he'd already lost six men. As he talked, he never took his eyes off the potential threats to his Marines down the road. He said the enemy was always watching, so you could never look away.
"We're constantly under observation from those guys. They know where we go. They know where we like to set up," he says. He avoids any kind of repetitions. "Change your route, change the buildings you use. Otherwise they come at you, booby trap those buildings and try to blow them up."
Rapicault "leads from the front," as the Marines like to say, and he's focused on getting the rest of his men home. Most often, Rapicault's men never see the enemy; they don't truly know who he is or what he's fighting for. They have never seen the enemy like this, who watches for an approaching American patrol and prepares to set off a roadside bomb. Iraqi photojournalist Ghaith Abdul-Ahad embedded himself with the insurgents and took pictures of them setting up their IEDs.
Abdul-Ahad describes the IEDs. He says the insurgents take a "couple of big mortar shells or artillery shells, they wire it with some explosive. They take the wire into the edge of the street and they hide behind a building." Then they "kind of put their heads into the ground and try to listen to the tanks coming."
The insurgents usually use cell phones, asking local kids in the neighborhood to be spotters for U.S. tanks.
"And they have spotters everywhere," he says. But he adds, "Most of the insurgency is — if I can use this word — is pathetic. Pathetic in the term that when they are waiting for the tank, and the tank is five meters away, and they kind of put the wires together and nothing happens, because it's an old battery or something. And that happens in some of the cases, you know. But other cases, they do kind of detonate things and do cause lots of damage."
Abdul-Ahad told us that some of the fighters he met were religious extremists from Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Syria, but he claims that many others weren't fanatics at all. For example, a businessman was fighting because he despised the foreign occupation and its chaos.
"He wanted to end the occupation. And this is why he decided to sell off his business to fund a small cell of fighters, and to fight the Americans in Fallujah," Abdul-Ahad says.
In Ramadi the enemy has been pressing a vicious and effective campaign against American attempts to reach out to Iraq, especially undermining public works projects and the government.
Newman says Anbar province is on its third governor in just over a year. The first governor quit because insurgents kidnapped his family and threatened to kill them.
The mayor's office was recently attacked with an IED that destroyed the building.
Shortly after Newman's Marines delivered supplies to a hospital, a doctor was murdered. Newman says the killing was because the hospital accepted supplies from the Americans.
Even the Iraqi man who collected the trash on the base was murdered.
"They will try and target anyone, with fear and intimidation," says Newman.
Newman says the fear and intimidation is difficult to work against. "We're making headway, slow but sure."
The headway is slow. For example, there wasn't enough security for the January election, so the local government is keeping the location of polling places secret until the last minute.
Still, even with all the resistance, Whiskey Company's commander Pat Rapicault said it's better to save Ramadi block by block than flatten it like Fallujah.
"I think the biggest difference between here and Fallujah is we could very well go ahead and do the same thing, bomb every building we get contact from, but then again, that's not the purpose we were here for. We're trying to get this country rebuilt, this being the capital of the province."
Rapicault had warned that the enemy is adapting. And, sure enough, as the Marines got better at avoiding IEDs, the insurgents turned to suicide bombers. We were with Rapicault's men heading down Route Michigan, nearly back to Hurricane Point, when a car packed with explosives pulled up next to one of Whiskey Company's Humvees and exploded.
His target, a fully armored Humvee, was destroyed. A Navy corpsman treated two survivors, but three Marines were killed, including the man who helped explain what combat is like, the captain some called Frenchie, Pat Rapicault. In his company of about 160 men, there are now nine names in steel under the flag.
In recent days, Ramadi has been more settled. They're not sure why. At Hurricane Point, the Marines are no longer fresh. Many have been to war twice now. But there is still determination. They go out the gate with purpose. They may not always know who they're fighting, but the commander told them they know what they're fighting for.
"Once the first drop of blood was shed by a Marine from this battalion and from the Marine battalion before us, we had too much invested in — in this city, in this country, in this cause — to turn our back on it. To do so would disrespect our fallen warriors that preceded us here."
The 2/5 Marines came home this spring, but before they did, they suffered one more death in Iraq and chained the dogtag of Lance Cpl. Richard Clifton below the flag.

One of our favorite features is the ability to find new games for your xbox by download. It's easy to find all sorts of xbox 360 downloads right on your own computer. We seem to get asked quite often about where you can download xbox 360 games.
It's a good question because it has the potential to save you a good amount of money - we decided to put together a quick article to answer this question. Ok - let's get to the good stuff! We're going to cover the two main options that you have for finding xbox 360 downloads. The First Option - XBOX 360 Game Downloads The first choice that many will try out is to look for websites that offer "free xbox 360 downloads". There's a few of these sites out there that advertise this, but it's important you know a couple of things before you use them. What worries us the most about these types of websites is that they are not monitored by anyone. Because of this, they are famous for spreading around viruses and spyware.
Since anyone can upload a file to the system, you just never know exactly what you are downloading. Since these websites aren't making any money, there isn't any money that is being reinvested back into the websites. Because of this the download speeds are extremely slow and unfortunately many of the files that you download are "corrupt" which means that they won't even work once you try to use them. I'm sure you aren't surprised that we don't recommend these websites. It's just too risky - you can easily pick up a virus or harm your computer in some way.
Plus it's easy to find yourself wasting a lot of time with them.

They also let you download movies, TV shows, music and more all from the one place. The reason these website were put together was so that gamers could find xbox 360 downloads without having to worry about infecting their computer or struggling with slow download speeds.
As you have probably guessed, there is a fee for using this type of website but it isn't expensive. It costs about $50 to join and this gets full access to as many downloads as you want. It's a one-time fee which gets you a lifetime membership.
We did include a link at the bottom of this article where you can find out how to start a free trial at a couple of the top-ranked xbox 360 download websites. The great part about these websites is that they do what it takes to make sure their customers are happy. The people who run them want to make a profit obviously, so they make sure that the sites offer all the latest games, have fast downloads and that each and every file actually works. For anyone who likes to try new games, this can be the perfect service. Anytime you want a new game you just have to login on your computer. It's nice not having to pull out your wallet each time!

It's a great way to keep up with the latest games and save yourself a good chunk of cash. Maybe we should warn you though - it's easy to get addicted!.

Participating in the processes of a society and having the feeling of self-efficacy are important, basic pillars of democracy, and this is never more obvious than on the local level of our cities and neighborhoods. For Zentralwerk, art and culture as mediators between different living environments, as a force capable of overcoming boundaries, lie at the very heart of all endeavors. To put the focus on participation through art on the eve of the European Parliamentary Elections while taking up a transnational stance is a welcome initiative to promote a European spirit. As minister of the Arts of a federal state that sees itself more than ever as a region of culture in the heart of Europe, I gladly agreed to be the patron of the TEH conference #87. Of course, I am well aware of the fact that the "zentral" in Zentralwerk, located in Dresden's district Pieschen, does not stand for any kind of cultural centralism within the European network "Trans Europe Halls", but invites participants with a note of playful irony to exchange views, to analyze and discuss. Here, in the eastern part of Germany, it has become good practice to apply the terminology of the historical planned economy and the cultural and industrial heritage in a tongue-in-cheek manner. The creative potential of Zentralwerk already manifests itself in the use of language. The organizers are not "lost in translation" – on the contrary. They carved the little word ART out of "participation", demonstrating that the former factory at the railway track linking Dresden and Leipzig has turned into a new home for keen artistic minds. Zentralwerk may be bulky when it comes to its buildings and complex when it comes to its history, but it has grown to be a creative free space that is just perfect to discuss artistic strategies, methods and ways of working on a European scale. I am sure that the days in May will be inspiring to both the people of Zentralwerk and their guests from all over Europe.
Participation is an important keyword when it comes to shaping the future of society. Especially where the goal is respectful, diverse and future-oriented co-existence, the active participation of our citizens, of civil society as a whole, is of particular significance. Art and culture are outstanding means by which to involve people in social processes. The strategies, methods and projects which can be pursued to achieve this are central topics of your conference. I was thus more than pleased to take on patronage for the conference with its focus on pARTicipation.
Against the background of the current European elections, in particular, participation and social engagement acquire even greater importance. After all, lively democracy is dependent on active citizens who are prepared to become involved in political decision processes and social debates. Exchanges and networking with fellow citizens from other European countries can only be to everyone's advantage.
The city office which is coordinating Dresden's application for the title "European Capital of Culture 2025" is co-organiser of the Trans Europe Halles conference. The Capital of Culture application also places the possibilities for art and culture to promote participation in the foreground. The motto "Neue Heimat – New Home. Dresden 2025" is an invitation to all the people of Dresden to shape our "new home", to bring it to life, and to develop a new sense of cohesion in our city.
I hope your conference will be a resounding success, with stimulating impressions and insights, and equally intensive and fruitful exchanges!

Firefighters reach 100 containment on 265acre Recycle Fire in Campo
Posted: June 8, 2018 KUSI Newsroom June 8, 2018 Updated: 9:05 PM Firefighters reach 100% containment on 265-acre 'Recycle Fire' in Campo KUSI Newsroom, #RecycleFire [final] IC reports the fire to be 100% contained. Crews will continue with suppression repair efforts through the weekend. For tips on how to prepare for wildfire please visit https://t.co/RtiMTEMqOK and https://t.co/qfAfagcmLE pic.twitter.com/Pp56bwsNNm— CAL FIRE SAN DIEGO (@CALFIRESANDIEGO) June 9, 2018One firefighter sustained a minor injury Wednesday in the first few hours of the battle to corral the blaze, which had grown to 265 acres as of mid-afternoon Wednesday, Cal Fire Capt. Issac Sanchez said. The so-called "Recycle Fire" was still holding at that size Friday morning.About 90 minutes after it was first reported, the flames had blackened roughly 25 acres as crews worked to stop them from the ground and aboard air tankers and water-dropping helicopters, Sanchez said. As the blaze grew to over 250 acres, authorities issued evacuation warnings to residents along North Campo Truck Trail, and later, to people who living on La Posta Road. But thosewarnings were lifted just a few hours later.As of 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, crews had the spread of the fire halted and its perimeter about 5 percent contained. It was at 15 percent containment Wednesday night, 30 percent Thursday morning and 65 percent Thursday evening.Crews will continue with suppression repair efforts through the weekend.The cause of the blaze — dubbed the Recycle Fire due to its proximity to a rural byway known to locals as "Recycle Road" — was not immediately clear, Sanchez said. CAMPO (KUSI) — A wildfire that blackened hundreds of open acres in the far southeastern reaches of San Diego County was 100 percent contained Friday afternoon, fire officials said.The back-country blaze erupted for unknown reasons about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday off the 31000 block of state Route 94 in the Cameron Corners area of Campo, according to Cal Fire San Diego officials. It sent a thick column of brown-and-white smoke into the air near the U.S.-Mexico border and prompted two evacuation warnings that were later rescinded.

Jet Airways rights issue will target raising Rs 2500 crore
Posted on September 5, 2019 Author admin
Cash-strapped private airline Jet Airways will raise about Rs 2,500 crore through a rights issue, media reports say. Lenders to the company that has defaulted on debt repayment will also look at a debt-to-equity conversion. While the Naresh Goyal-founded company's creditors may convert Rs 1,000 crore of debt into equity, they will also bring in more equity through a rights issue as part of a deal the airline had with the lenders. Goyal and foreign partner Etihad Airways, which has a 24 per cent stake in the airline, will infuse approximately Rs 2,000 crore into the airline, a report quoting an unidentified source said.The government-owned National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) is likely to buy up to 20 per cent stake amounting to Rs 1,500 crore, a report on the Business Standard website said. NIIF and banks will together come to own a 51 per cent stake in the company.The lenders approached NIIF after Etihad Airways refused to increase its stake beyond 25 per cent in the absence of an exemption from the open offer requirement. Etihad failed to secure such an exemption from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).Etihad Airways plans to infuse Rs 1,450 crore more to maintain its stake at 24 per cent while Goyal would bring in Rs 550 crore to keep his stake at around 21 per cent, according to the report. Goyal has already infused Rs 250 crore into the airline."At the first stage of the resolution plan, lenders have agreed to convert around Rs 1,000 crore of debt into equity. In the second stage, there will be a rights issue of around Rs 2,500 crore in which banks will participate. This process is subject to approval from the promoter, lenders and Etihad Airways. It may take around two months to close," the report said quoting an official with a lender. There are also reports that the SBI-led consortium of banks would release around Rs 550 crore in 15 days to bridge the immediate funding gap.While the draft resolution plan has got the Jet board's nod, it is awaiting approval from the banks and Abu Dhabi-based UAE national carrier Etihad Airways. The deal will also require the approval of various regulatory authorities, according to sources.The draft resolution plan proposes to bridge the airline's immediate funding gap of Rs 8,500 crore. "There will be equity infusion, sale or sale and leaseback, debt-to-equity conversion, and refinancing of aircraft. A combination of all these will help to reduce the debt of the company. But, I will be unable to give you the numbers right now," Amit Agarwal, the chief financial officer at Jet Airways, told reporters.Jet had a total debt of Rs 7,654 crore as of December-end, including aircraft loans worth Rs 1,700 crore. About 60 per cent of the loans are dollar-denominated and the foreign exchange fluctuations badly affect it. Jet has called an extraordinary general meeting next week to secure shareholders' nod for the issue of 110.4 million shares to lenders. Jet's travails are symptomatic of the Indian aviation industry, which has been hit by intensive domestic competition, fuel costs linked to international crude prices, rupee's depreciation against the dollar, and a shortage of skilled staff.

Joel Greenberg Says He and Matt Gaetz Had Sex With Underage Girl
According to letter obtained by The Daily Beast
04/30/2021 PMSwithESP Updates 0
A letter drafted by Matt Gaetz's friend Joel Greenberg says that the two paid for sex with multiple women, including a girl who was 17 at the time.
"On more than one occasion, this individual was involved in sexual activities with several of the other girls, the congressman from Florida's 1st Congressional District and myself," Greenberg wrote in the letter in reference to the minor, according to The Daily Beast.
"From time to time, gas money or gifts, rent or partial tuition payments were made to several of these girls, including the individual who was not yet 18. I did see the acts occur firsthand and Venmo transactions, Cash App or other payments were made to these girls on behalf of the Congressman."
The letter was drafted after Greenberg reportedly reached out to Roger Stone for help in obtaining pardons from Trump in his last days in office.
The Daily Beast reports that several messages between Greenberg and Stone were captured from the encrypted messaging app Signal.
Greenberg: "If I get you $250k in Bitcoin would that help or is this not a financial matter."
Stone: "I understand all of this and have taken it into consideration….I will know more in the next 24 hours I cannot push too hard because of the nonsense surrounding pardons."
Later, Stone: "I hope you are prepared to wire me $250,000 because I am feeling confident."
Stone told The Daily Beast that Greenberg had tried to hire him to assist with a pardon, but he denied asking for or receiving payment. He did tell the outlet that he had Greenberg prepare "a document explaining his prosecution."

Alan Beechey & Leila
That's Leila, a female mutt who's nearly seven, and me. I'm Alan Beechey and I'm the author of a murder mystery series featuring Oliver Swithin, an amateur detective who writes children's books. (My third title, This Private Plot, is out this month.) An early DNA test showed that Leila has bits of Japanese Akita, Chow, and Shar-Pei, three breeds that a recent National Geographic said were still largely wolf. She certainly has the Akita Inu's pink nose. I also suspect cat genes.
What's the occasion for Coffee with a Canine?
I'm addicted to both coffee and canines, so just waking up is a good enough reason.
What's brewing?
Straight illy brand ground roast, in a Mr. Coffee maker, strong setting. Plus half-and-half.
How did Leila get her name? Any nicknames?
My oldest son had a classmate call Leila at his nursery school, and he once said that he'd like to use the name for a pet. I think it was meant as a compliment. And well-deserved. When the real Leila was about four, it was discovered that she had serious hearing difficulties, which hadn't been detected earlier because she'd simply managed to work around them. So for courage and resourcefulness, a worthy namesake. (If Leila had been a male, she'd have been Bertie, after P.G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster.)
Leila's full name is now up to The Divine Leila Gretel Kibbles Indiana Bones Sherlock Bones Beechey, Mistress of All Squirrels. (Did I mention I have three boys?) Incidentally, Leila means "night" in Arabic, which is kind of perverse for a white dog.
How were you and Leila united?
She was one of a batch of unwanted puppies rescued from North Carolina by Pet Rescue of Larchmont, New York. We've had her since she was four months old.
Are there any Leila-inspired dogs in your new novel?
No, This Private Plot only has a brief appearance by a family cat and the odd sheep. But my first book An Embarrassment of Corpses featured a black cat that was based a former girlfriend's cat called Smudge, only I renamed him Satan (entirely appropriately). My second book, Murdering Ministers, includes a harrier called Murray in one scene. This was a way of thanking the real Murray's owner, who was the poison expert I'd consulted on the administration of strychnine.
Does Leila do more to help or hinder your writing?
Leila is the perfect beast for a writer: her morning walks give me time to think and plan, and then she withdraws to a modest distance while I'm at the desk. My children, on the other hand...
Where is Leila's favorite outdoor destination?
I live in Rye, New York, which is on the Long Island Sound, and during the long winter months, at least one of our beaches is open for dog-walking. There's nothing Leila likes better than chasing a tennis ball along the sand until she gets bored with fetching, paddles into the sea, and drops it just of out of my reach. Incidentally, a wallow in the ocean – although she's not a swimmer – is a feature of every beach trip, even in sub-freezing conditions. But try to put her in a nice warm bath...
Squeaky toy, ball, stick...?
Tennis ball, all her life. Sock. Anything made of Nylabone.
Squirrel. Her frequent attempts to pursue a squirrel up a tree trunk are what make us suspect the cat genes. That and her habit of trying to bury her number twos.
What is Leila's best quality?
Well, of course, she's smart, she's affectionate, she's beautiful. She is boisterous but not aggressive. But although she's only a fraction Akita, she exhibits a lot of Akita traits, which includes a certain aloofness with other dogs and with people. She's polite and curious and happy to romp for a while with a puppy on the beach or join a sprint in the park, but then she slips away, preferring her own company. Her philosophy of socializing boils down to "do no harm, take no crap." I think if more humans started out with this as a basic tenet, the world would be a better place.
If Hollywood made a movie about your life in which Leila could speak, which actor would do her voice?
When I was training Leila as a puppy, it was hard at first to find a tone that was firm without being fierce. I finally evolved a voice that implied I was morally scandalized by any disobedience, like the prim headmistress at an academy for young ladies. So my scolding voice tends to be that of the magnificent British character actress Joyce Grenfell, or occasionally Dame Maggie Smith at her most vinegary. ("What were you thinking, young lady?") As for Leila, a thoroughly American dog? Oh, Sarah Vowell, who did Violet in The Incredibles.
If Leila could answer only one question in English, what would you ask her?
Why are you talking like Sarah Vowell?

JFK daughter Caroline Kennedy in running to be new US ambassador to Australia
US publication Axios reported that "Caroline Kennedy is in line to be US ambassador to Australia".
It said the report was based on comments by "people familiar with the matter".
Reports say Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of US president John F. Kennedy, is in the running to be appointed American ambassador to Australia. (AP)
The Biden administration has made no comment on the matter but the Associated Press has reported that Ms Kennedy is is expected to be appointed ambassador to an Asia-Pacific nation.
If appointed, Ms Kennedy would take the Canberra appointment at a time of rising Asia Pacific tensions.
The US and its allies including Australia are embroiled in trade and diplomatic disputes with China.
Ms Kennedy served as former president Barack Obama's chief envoy to Japan for much of his second term in the White House.
Ms Kennedy, a scion of one of America's most high-profile political families, threw her support behind US President Joe Biden relatively early in the crowded 2020 Democratic primary process.
In a Boston Globe editorial to announce her endorsement, she praised Mr Biden for his long career as a public servant and fondly recalled Mr Biden visiting Tokyo as vice-president while she was ambassador.

"He radiated American optimism and generosity of spirit. He made clear that America would always stand by our allies, and that we were committed to keeping the region peaceful and prosperous. He delivered tough messages as well, but he did it in private, with skill and respect."
Ms Kennedy, along with her late uncle Senator Ted Kennedy, also offered a critical early endorsement to Mr Obama in his 2008 run for the White House.
Mr Biden is expected to soon announce his first major tranche of political ambassadorial nominations, according to White House officials.

"The Musician From Mars strikes again…During this interview, David Lindley described the great violin player, Sugar Cane Harris as a 'force of nature.' This could easily be said of Lindley as well. With a recording session list as long and legendary as anyone could possibly imagine, he remains a person with no sense of his own celebrity. While he is known for his love of polyester on stage, playing a modern day cosmic court jester, his music is diverse. He plays with love for the tradition of each instrument, such as the oud, a love for the song, and especially his audience." – No Depression
"A David Lindley performance isn't just an awe-inspiring demonstration of string prowess, It's a portal to far-flung realms, a magic carpet ride skittering around the globe offering vivid glimpses of Jamaica, the Mississippi Delta, Madagascar, Turkey and Cuba." -- San Jose Mercury News
"Mr. Lindley collects not just instruments, but oddball songs, particularly those filled with the matter-of-fact absurdism that's part of American mountain and country traditions…Mr. Lindley doesn't pretend to make a major statement; he just plays songs that challenge his fingers and tickle his funny bone. By calmly underplaying those songs, Mr. Lindley lets their humor - and his own -shine through." — The New York Times
The Shedd Institute is pleased to welcome the extraordinary David Lindley for his first appearance at the Jaqua Concert Hall. Well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, Lindley has long championed world music. His electro-acoustic performance blends American folk, blues and bluegrass traditions with African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy and Turkish music. Lindley incorporates an array of stringed instruments including Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud and Irish bouzouki.

Huangšanski bor (Pinus hwangshanensis) je drvo iz roda borova, iz porodice Pinaceae.

Ova vrsta je endem, a raste samo u istočnoj Kini, u pokrajinama Anhui, Fujian, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, i Zhejiang. Nazvan je po gorju Huang Shan, u pokrajini Anhui, gdje je prvi put opisan.

Opis
Pinus hwangshanensis je zimzeleno drvo, koje može narasti 15 do 25 metara u visinu. Ima vrlo široku krošnju s ravnim vrhom i dugim, ravnim granama.

Kora mu je debela, sivkasta i ljuskasta. Listovi su mu igličasti, tamno-zeleni, po dva u grupi, dugi 5–8 cm i široki 0,8–1 mm. Omotač čahure dugačak je 1 cm. Češeri su široki, ovalnog oblika, dugi 4-6,5 cm, žuto-smeđi, otvaraju se nakon sazrijevanja, krajem zime, do širine 5–7 cm. Sjemenke su krilate, duge 5-6 mm s krilom 1,5-2,5 cm. Oprašivanje je sredinom proljeća, a češeri sazrijevaju 18-20 mjeseci nakon toga. Usko je povezan s japanskim crnim borom (P. thunbergii), razlikuje se od njega vitkijim lišćem, smeđim (ne bijelim) pupoljcima i širim češerima.

Ovi borovi obično rastu na umjerenim do velikim nadmorskim visinama na strmim, stjenovitim mjestima i glavni su vegetacijski sastojak u krajolicima istočne Kine. Mnogi su primjerci poštovani zbog svojih jedinstvenih robusnih oblika, a često su prikazani u tradicionalnom kineskom slikarstvu.

The 2021 NFL season is in the final week and most of the playoff teams have been determined. With a lot of upsets throughout the season, Steelers fans are hoping for at least one more, specifically in the Jaguars-Colts game. With it seeming like almost any team could find victory or defeat every time they take the field, it makes picking games even more difficult.
For the 2021 NFL season, our "Spectacular 7" of BTSC staff who will be picking every game against the spread and the over/under point totals. We are keeping up with the changes we made last year and including the Thursday games. Please remember we are not experts on betting or any kind of sports gamblers, and if you need to be reminded of this simple look at our records. We are just a group of Steelers' fans saying who we think will come through each week.

Last week, there was a change in the overall results in the picks against the spread. For the week, I came in the top spot at 11-5 with Bryan right behind at 10-6. Bryan's picks moved him one game ahead of Mark in the overall lead in picking against the spread with a record of 144-127.
In the over/under, I blew almost everyone away coming in at 12-4 with Matty at 11-5 being the only person anywhere close. Jeff still holds the lead in the overall over/under for the season at 150-122, but I cut his seven-game lead down to one in just a week.

IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Communications (SmartGridComm), November, 2014.
Dynamic contactless charging is an emerging technology for charging electric vehicles (EV) on the move. For efficient charging and for proper billing, dynamic charging requires secure communication between the charging infrastructure and the EVs that supports very frequent real-time message exchange for EV authentication. In this paper we propose Portunes, an authentication protocol for charging pads to authenticate an EV's identity. Portunes uses pseudonyms to provide location privacy, allows EVs to roam between different charging sections and receive a single bill, and achieves fast authentication by relying on symmetric keys and on the spatio-temporal location of the EV. We have implemented Portunes on RaspberryPi Model B with 700 MHz CPU and 512 MB RAM. Portunes allows the EV to generate authentication information within 0.3 ms, and allows charging pads to verify the information within 0.5 ms. In comparison, ECDSA signature generation and verification take over 25 ms and over 40 ms respectively.


As a trainer, it is important that you have a good sense of how your participants are reacting to your speech. Are they attentive and earnestly listening to you or are your audience yawning away or talking among each other, than focusing on your presentation. While this can be quite demoralizing, do not despair and take this as a lesson to improve on your presentation. If you are the kind of presenter that do not know what is happening on the ground due to your focus, try to make it a point to do so or get your assistant to help you gauge the participant's response.
Have a measure of how many participants walk out halfway during your presentation. If it exceeds 20%, this is not a good sign as they have made time for your event yet they want to walk out without hearing your whole message. From experience, you should look at your marketing collateral – make sure they are attracting the right audience, examine if your presentation is too repetitive? Many trainers feel that the longer the presentation is the better it is, but this is incorrect. Importantly, it is to deliver your message in the swiftest, with most impact and engaging way. Duration doesn't count so much if you can achieve the earlier elements.
Have your participants fill up a feedback form. In the form, you can consider giving your participants rate you on contents, engagement, delivery and what can be done better. As much as possible, using rating scale instead of requiring them to write (except for 1 or 2 questions) as requiring them to write too much may turn people off and drop your feedback altogether.
If you are extremely serious about improving your presentation, call your participant up the next day and ask them how did they like your presentation. Take the opportunity to reinforce your expertise, seek to clarify any doubts but be honest that you need more practice in your presentation skills. Be sincere and ask for their feedback, this method usually works best and people can sense your sincerity and let you know on ways to improve. While this method is the best, it is most time consuming and not every participant will entertain you.
feedback, even though you receive negative ones. Remember if people take the way to give you feedback, it shows they care and are helpful and at least they bother.

Las islas Cagarras () constituyen un archipiélago deshabitado localizado frente a la costa sur de la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, fuera de la bahía de Guanabara. El archipiélago consta de las siguientes islas:

 isla Cagarra (Ilha Cagarra)
 Laje da Cagarra
 isla de Palmas (Ilha de Palmas)
 isla Comprida (Ilha Comprida)
 isla Filhote (Ilha Filhote)

Aunque las islas de Redonda y Redondinha (Redondita) se encuentran cerca, no forman parte del archipiélago de las Cagarras.

Es más que probable que las islas Cagarras tomaran su nombre de un ave marina, la pardela cenicienta (Calonectris diomedea), llamada "cagarra" en lengua portuguesa. Aunque esta pardela no nidifica en las costas brasileñas, sí que lo hace en archipiélagos portugueses como Azores y Madeira de modo que posiblemente los descubridores confundieron las pardelas autóctonas que por entonces habría en este archipiélago con las que conocían de sus islas natales.

Thanks to Bill Hillman of Erbzine for tipping us on this. I'm going to post it now and add my comments in the comment section.
In the second part of my look at box office catastrophes I delve into the baffling failure of Walt Disney Studio's John Carter.
Now, this one sticks in my throat a little because, personally, I adored what Andrew Stanton brought to the big screen. However, for some reason (or many reasons), the pulpy space opera didn't seem to strike a chord with many critics and/or cinemagoers.
The story of Civil War soldier John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) being magically whisked to Mars (or Barsoom, if we want to give it its local name) where he becomes embroiled in a battle between the cities of Helium and Zodanga. Upon meeting princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins), Carter learns he is seen as the saviour of Helium but he must, first, decide whether he wants to be part of the war or if he should return home.
Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' 'A Princess of Mars' novel, it's clear why this tale was ripe for a big-budget movie adaptation. However, given the budget just to create the film is estimated to have been around the $250million mark, Disney were already facing a possible uphill battle.
Hopes of a profit-making film were hampered by, in my humble opinion, a quite horrendous marketing campaign. First, the film title was altered from John Carter of Mars to, simply, John Carter. It's understood Stanton removed "of Mars" to make it more appealing to a broader audience, stating that the film is an "origin story. However, former Disney marketing president MT Carney also has taken blame for suggesting the title change claiming a significant loss in March 2011 with Mars Needs Moms resulted in the studio reportedly conducting a study which noted recent movies with the word "Mars" in the title had not been commercially successful.
Whether the 'of Mars' would have helped or hindered John Carter is up for debate, but what isn't is the fact the marketing budget – allegedly around $100million (on top of the $250m production budget – added further possible issues with turning a profit.
Now, this is where I have issues. If the budget to market the film to the public is almost half the cost of the movie itself, questions have to be asked as to why TV spots, trailers and billboards (in Scotland, at least) were scarce. I can honestly say that I, personally, only saw the trailer on television three times in the run up to it being released in cinemas. Meanwhile, poster & billboard campaigns were at a minimum. Whether this was the case elsewhere in the UK (and the US, where it bombed), I couldn't tell you. But in Scotland, advertising for a film seen as a tentpole release was minimal.
John Carter was sacrificed to make room to other boy's franchise that were to be bought, not made internally. Now if you think that "everybody in the marketing department did their best to promote the movie", I don't agree.
Aren't conspiracy theories great. They don't require the use of logic or common sense at all. Someone needs to explain to me how Ross could manage to profit by Disney losing $200 million on John Carter.
Yes it was. It's a good story. Sadly we got the Stantonized version.
I cannot understand why there was no toys. But there will be for the sequel.
I agree that it was poorly marketed, I think that Disney had sunk too much into the budget and decided to cut their losses. It's a shame because the film is enjoyable and I'd love to see some sequels.
I can't speak for Scotland, but in France the marketing of John Carter seemed decent in form, there were posters and some advertising. I don't know how much all of this costs, but I guess it's quite a lot. On the surface it seemed on par with other tentpole movies.
Now the trouble comes with the content of this advertising. All comments I read regarding the trailers or the posters, was it from people meaning well towards the movie, or from people who were skeptical, all pointed to the lame SFX-only trailers, the lame lettering of the title, and a general feeling of "meh". At this level, that's just unconceivable. Every fan trailer was superior to the official ones, and the fans were working from the same material. To this day, I still have a hard time to believe no one sabotaged deliberately the campaign at some point.
This movie is brilliant – why it got the bad press it did, I just can't imagine?? The characters, the effects, the story … it should have been up there with the best. It's much better than most of the DC comic movies. I say, well done Disney – you should have had a winner! What a shame it didn't get the recognition it deserved.

Winless series continues – FCS screwed up 2-0 lead
Oh how bitter it is!
1. FC Saarbrücken gave a victory that was believed to be safe in the last few minutes, but had to be satisfied with a 2-2 after a 2-0 win at SV Wehen Wiesbaden …
Coach Lukas Kwasniok had to do without defense chief Steven Zellner at short notice, who caused problems with slight knee problems. "It is, however, a purely precautionary measure, nothing serious," CEO David Fischer gave the all-clear at an early stage.

In the battle for fourth place, a hectic game develops. The hosts have the first chance. Jänicke with a bad pass in the build-up directly into the foot of Hollerbach, whose low shot lands in the hands of Daniel Batz (10th). Then it's Saarbrücken's turn, but Shipnoski's header to Mendler's flank goes a meter over (25th). Then the FCS is lucky after Korte puts a fine flick from the corner of the penalty area on the post – Batz would have flown for free (34th). It goes back and forth, a lot of mistakes in the setup of the game for both teams. A shot by Günther-Schmidt rolls past to the left (42nd), then Perdedaj, who broke through to the baseline, does not find the foot of a teammate, Mockenhaupt hits the ball out of the danger zone in the last second (44th).
0: 0 at break!
Saarbrücken comes out very offensively. Shipnoski on Jacob, whose shot from eight meters goes very gently past (54th). Two minutes later the doorbell finally rings. Jacob extended to Günther-Schmidt, who completed the 1-0 for Saarbrücken in the long corner (56th).
Günni gives rubber!
After a corner kick from Wiesbaden, Saarbrücken switches to counter mode in a flash, the ball comes back to Günther-Schmidt via Gouras, who leaves Wiesbaden's keeper boss no chance and scores to 2-0 (64th). In the front, Shipnoski missed the decision from six meters (82nd), behind Uaferro and Tietz made the connection (84th) – very bitter.
Mainly because Saarbrücken had everything under control by then. And it gets worse. As in the 2: 3 against Viktoria Köln, the FCS have to swallow the toad again in stoppage time, Tietz heads to 2: 2 (90th + 1).
Keeper Batz then stormed into the cabin, pissed off: "I don't feel like it anymore."
Coach Kwasniok: "That is simply unbelievable." The FCS have now been without a win for 5 games.

Email marketing can be a big help when it comes to event planning. Planning a major event like a grand opening, special giveaway or charity fundraiser involves a lot of moving parts – from booking the facility and utilizing the talents of local celebrities to making sure the general public knows the date and time of the festivities. Email marketing can help with each step of the process, making it easier for event planners to get their jobs done and have a successful outcome.
The publicity and marketing you do before the event is critical, and email is a great way to get the word out. Whether the event is an intimate cocktail party for invited guests or a major grand opening for the public, email can be a big help in the promotion.
When hosting an annual or ongoing event, try to include pictures from previous years, along with testimonials and thanks from those who have attended. Those pictures and testimonials can make a big difference for people deciding whether or not to attend the event.
When sending out the email invitations, you can encourage recipients to share the event with their friends through social media and other channels. Using outlets like Twitter and Facebook can greatly expand your marketing reach and help the event be more successful.
One of the most important jobs of the event planner is to keep track of who will be attending. Having an accurate attendee count is critical, so you will want to keep track of every RSVP that trickles in.
Building a list of RSVPs can also help in future marketing effort. Keeping track of event attendees lets you create a list you can use for future promotions.
As the date of the event draws near, you can again use email marketing to remind attendees of the date and time and encourage them to come and bring their friends. It is also a good idea to send a list of frequently asked questions, from the starting time of the event to a full list of activities. The more information you can provide about the event, the more excitement you can build before the big day.
Sending out email reminders and other pertinent information will also help your guests be more prepared when they arrive. Guests who have a great time at your event are likely to return – and bring their friends, and that is good news for the event planner.
You can send out a quick email the day of the event – to remind attendees of the time and answer any last minute questions. If the day spans multiple days, you can send a quick recap at the end of each day as well.
This kind of email is also a great way to keep guests informed of any last minute changes in the itinerary or list of activities. Schedules can change, and keeping your guests informed is part of proper event planning.
It is important for event planners to follow up after the event is over. A quick email to thank attendees for their support is always welcome, as is an invitation to a future event. Maintaining a list of the people who attended past events is a great way to market your business as you plan further festivities.
SendBlaster can be a great tool for event planners. It allows you to send all the emails mentioned above (email reminders, email invitationrs, follows up) directly from your PC, without programming knowledge.
The key is to send out all those emails the right way. Keeping attendees informed without overwhelming them with useless information is a vital part of successful event planning.
Email marketing techniques have an important role to play in the events your company organizes, no matter what the nature of your business.


For many people espresso is an art. For Italians – it can undoubtedly be an obsession.
Introduced in Italy by the merchants of Venice in the second half of the XVI century, while trading spices with the Ottoman Empire, the traditional "tazzina di Caffe" is now deeply rooted in all levels of Italian society: a beverage, a ritual, almost a way of life.
What sets the espresso apart is the blend of beans used and the roasting process, meticulously developed and passed on over the last century. Known today as the "Italian Roast", the espresso is a carefully selected blend of 80% Arabica (a Middle-Eastern bean with intense aromatic smell and low caffeine content) and 20% Robusta (an African variety richer in caffeine). The toasting is slowly carried out in large vessels through hot air flows – about 465 degrees – while the beans are gently stirred.
Chemically, the higher the toasting temperature is, the lower the resulting caffeine residual will be. For this reason, and contrary to popular belief, the Italian espresso has a significantly lower content of caffeine when compared to other blends. This is due to the high temperatures employed during the roasting process.
At Tigelleria, we brew our espresso as a traditional Italian would: with a stovetop moka. Moka pots (also known as small Italian coffee pots) produce coffee by using pressurized steam to push water through the ground espresso to create a strong, high quality coffee. Better yet, the more the Moka pot is used, the better the coffee.
So sit back, relax, and after your meal order a drink that will make you feel like you're in an osteria in Italy – a carefully crafted stovetop espresso.

Professional Skills Summer Schools with Commercial Law Themes
Between 27 May and 7 June 2019, the Law School successfully ran three professional skills summer schools with different commercial law themes, as part of its wider LLM programmes with Professional Skills.
The summer schools were coordinated by Professor Derek Auchie, Dr Burcu Yüksel and Professor Abbe Brown. After a preparatory week between 20-24 May comprising more general skills (notably communication, presentation and team work), the substantive parts of the summer schools each then involved renowned external experts in the fields of international commercial law and arbitration, international trade and intellectual property which are three of the pillars of the Aberdeen Centre for Commercial Law.
The Professional Skills element of LLM International Commercial Law focused on international commercial arbitration. This involved taking an international arbitration from its inception to the final outcome. Students discussed topics such as: how to draft (and challenge) and arbitration agreement; jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal; how to write arbitral pleadings; how to prepare for and conduct a preliminary meeting; rules around expert evidence and document disclosure; how to prepare for a full hearing; hearing advocacy; award drafting; challenges to awards and recognition and enforcement of an award. Assessments involved: making an oral jurisdiction argument; drafting a set of pleadings for the claimant and respondent (in groups) and writing an arbitral award. A host of experts took the students through these stages including Elliott Geisinger (Switzerland), Robin Oldenstam (Sweden), Marion Smith QC (UK),Gillian Lemaire (UK and France), Ben Giaretta (UK), Angela Grahame QC (UK) and Professor David Parratt QC (UK). All of these tutors brought their expertise, examples and stories to bring the subject to life.
The Professional Skills element of LLM International Trade Law and Treaty Negotiation focused on international trade negotiations in the view of Brexit, US-China trade war, the shift against international trade liberalisation, the increased emphasis on sustainable development issues in trade policy, the crisis in multilateralism as well as the recent calls for reform of the World Trade Organisation to address world trade challenges. It covered customs and trade disciplines in trade agreements, investment policy and non-trade disciplines in trade agreements, bilateralism and multilateralism, trade negotiation process at bilateral and multilateral level, the importance of sequencing and control, the politics of trade negotiations, skills and techniques, negotiating with local and foreign governments, and analysis of negotiating styles of the US, EU and China. It also included negotiation simulations based on real life examples. As part of this summer school, the Law School also hosted a workshop on Trade Wars and the Future of Trade Negotiationsfacilitated by two leading international trade experts, Mr Luis González García (Matrix Chambers, London) and Ambassador Roberto Zapata, Permanent Representative of Mexico to the World Trade Organisation (WTO, Geneva).
The Professional Skills element of LLM Intellectual Property explored an evolving scenario, providing students with an unusual and valuable integrated perspective. Discussions involved innovation, patent and trade marks, investment, litigation and advocacy, reputation and risk, policymaking and commercialisation. Contributions were provided from industry (Churchill Drilling Tools, Clearwell SubSea), the legal profession (Pinsent Masons, Addleshaw Goddard, Vialex, Faculty of Advocates), the University of Aberdeen and the World Intellectual Property Organization. A trip to local innovator BrewDog was also organised as part of this summer school.
The professional skills summer schools, with their substantive parts taking place over an intensive two-week period in Aberdeen, are designed to equip students with professional skills, perspectives and techniques required to be successful in the respective fields. The summer schools can be studied as part of the Law School's LLM programmes with Professional Skills, or as stand-alone courses.

Santo Inácio é uma aldeia ameríndia na região do Alto Tacutu-Alto Essequibo da Guiana, perto da capital regional Lethem e da fronteira com o Brasil. Originalmente era uma missão fundada por padres jesuítas para servir aos ameríndios na savana Rupununi.

Kumu e Quarrie são aldeias satélites de Santo Inácio.

A área foi colonizada pelos povos macuxi e uapixana, posteriormente complementados pelos Aruaque.

A vila é principalmente católica romana ou outras denominações cristãs. As línguas upixana, Macuxi e Patamona são faladas, enquanto o inglês e o português são línguas secundárias proeminentes.

História
O padre jesuíta Cary Elwes estabeleceu uma missão em 1909 para atender aos ameríndios do Rupununi. O local escolhido foi Ariwa (palavra macuxi para um determinado tipo de peixe) e localizado na margem direita do rio Tacutu, próximo às montanhas Kanuku. Os missionários dedicaram a missão ao fundador dos jesuítas.

Hoje a aldeia de Santo Inácio é uma das maiores comunidades ameríndias do Rupununi central.

Em 2020, como resultado da pandemia de COVID-19, foi construído um portão vigiado na estrada para regular o tráfego para o rio Tacutu, que era usado para passagem ilegal de fronteira do Brasil.

Economia
A criação de gado,. fabricação de tijolos, agricultura, pesca e construção são todas as principais atividades econômicas da vila.

Helping Hands Women Producers Cooperative Society tem uma fábrica que foi construída com a assistência da Agência Canadense de Desenvolvimento Internacional. Produz lanches embalados, incluindo castanha de caju e pão de mandioca, além de merenda escolar.

Serviços
A aldeia tem uma creche, escola primária e secundária. A escola secundária de Santo Inácio foi aberta pelos missionários católicos e é a mais antiga e maior da região, com internato para alunos de áreas remotas. Em 2017, foi lançado um programa de educação bilíngue para o idioma uapixana e o inglês. Há uma igreja católica, bem como um centro de treinamento do presbitério jesuíta.

Santo Inácio está na rede elétrica de Lethem. Em 2019, a Guiana Water Inc encomendou um sistema de abastecimento de água de US$ 15 milhões na vila, que expandiu o acesso da comunidade à água encanada.

A governança é por um conselho de aldeia eleito de toshao, deputado e conselheiros.

A vila está localizada na estrada principal Georgetown-Lethem e é separada de Lethem pelo Moco-Moco Creek.

I've never felt the loss of someone I didn't know before. Not like this, at least. The world mourns today for the loss of one of history's most prolific inventors, engineers, and visionaries.
The life Steve Jobs lived — seemingly every minute of it — was marked by an intense purpose. A drive and determination that was light years ahead of even the greatest business leaders of our time.
As I reflect on the life of Steve Jobs, I feel a more intense urgency to harder, faster, and more courageously towards my dreams than I ever have before.
By the time this post is read, tens of thousands of tribute posts (many prepared months in advance) will have been published. Here's mine.
Rest in peace Steve, you changed the world.

Moorman one of few constants in '08
Consistency is a quality that has been difficult for several parts of Buffalo's team to grasp on a weekly basis this season. It's a big reason why the team has struggled down the stretch. But one area that continues to be a reliable constant for Buffalo is their punting.
Brian Moorman has quietly had another productive year as he's on pace to finish with the third best net punting average of his career, a stat that widely measures a punter's effectiveness. Currently holding a 38.9 average, he's extremely close to his two Pro Bowl seasons of 39.1 and 39.2.
"I feel like I've had a pretty solid season," said Moorman. "My leg has felt good."
Moorman is currently fifth in the AFC in net punting and seventh in the league. Among the top 10 punters in the league in net average Moorman stands third in returns yards against with just 185 all season.
Last week was one of his better performances when it comes to holding punt returners in check. Facing one of the top 10 punt returners in Leon Washington, Moorman didn't give him a chance to even attempt a return. Of his three punts on the day Moorman had two downed inside the five-yard line and another went for a touchback.
"Brian a lot of times has a great punt where it won't kick in the end zone right away and it gets a good bounce and a little luck to it and things work out," said John Wendling, who downed both punts on Sunday. "We gave our team field position and that's what special teams is all about, turn that field position over to our defense and we were able to do that."
"Going into that game we knew the Jets were one of the best special teams units in the league and we had to prepare like that and we did and I think we performed well overall," said Moorman.
Moorman's numbers this year are also in line with his two Pro Bowl seasons in terms of touchbacks as he has just five this year, and his number of punts downed inside the 20 which stands at 21 with two games to play. In 2005 and 2006, Moorman had 22 and 33 punts downed inside the 20.
The one figure that's dramatically off from years past is his number of punts. Through 14 games Moorman has just 52 attempts. In his first seven seasons he's averaged almost 79.
One of his attempts was taken away last week when they ran the fake punt play with Keith Ellison picking up a first down. Buffalo has gone for it on fourth down 14 times this season.
But that's right on pace for Buffalo's average during Moorman's time with the Bills. Buffalo has averaged 18 fourth down 'go for it' attempts a season since their Pro Bowl punter has been on the roster.
Moorman suspects his low punt attempt figures are a direct result of the teammate he holds for on Sundays.
"We've had more field goal attempts this season," said Moorman. "So instead of me punting we've had Rian attempting field goals."
In his five seasons with the Bills, Lindell has averaged just under 28 field goal attempts this season. Through 14 games Buffalo's place kicker already has 34. His single season high is 35 (2005), a figure he's likely to break this year.
Still 52 is a very low number of attempts for Moorman in a season based on the team's history. With two games to play he's unlikely to crack 60, which would be a career low. His current career low for attempts is 66 (2002).
Either way Moorman has done what he does every season, which is deliver. With the 2008 season almost in the books, the Bills punter is well on his way to becoming the most consistent player for the franchise in this decade.
