Jamaal Charles' Zone Slide
Kansas City Chiefs 42 at Seattle Seahawks 24
In the interest of announcing a new venture I'm proud to be a part of and providing a view of a team I now cover (Seattle), I wanted to start this week's Cover-2 with an expanded version of a write-up I did on Kansas City's version of the stretch play for Sports Press Northwest. For that site, I'll be doing a traditional beat in what will hopefully be an atypical fashion. It's a new site with some creative ideas, so check it out if you have a few minutes.
The world has done a pretty good job of keeping Jamaal Charles under wraps, but the Kansas City Chiefs running back is officially having a ridiculous season despite limited carries in most games. The Texas back, drafted in the third round in 2008, racked up 1,120 yards in just 190 carries in 2009 and is averaging 6.3 yards on his 161 carries through 12 games this season. Head coach Todd Haley has mentioned Charles' increased blocking ability as one factor in getting him on the field more, but it's going to get to the point where, blocking or not, and sharing the load with Thomas Jones or not, the idea of using Charles as a rotation back may have to go by the wayside as it did for Chris Johnson in Tennessee last year.
Like Johnson, Charles has amazing speed (4.38 at the combine) combined with pass-catching ability, surprising toughness inside, and the ability to make people look silly in short spaces. Against the Seahawks last Sunday, Charles added to a season that currently has him second in DYAR, second in Success Rate, and first in DVOA. And like Johnson, Charles is benefiting from an underrated offensive line that suits his talents very well. Specifically, the way the Chiefs' line sets up zone slides on stretch (outside zone) plays.
The stretch play is a way to use tandem blocking and running back speed to make life very hard for defenses. Most zone-blocking teams have it in common, and even teams that don't employ zone as a major part of their blocking philosophy will generally use versions of this idea (imagine bigger linemen sliding in unison, a quarterback stretching to the right for the handoff, and a halfback looking for gaps behind/outside the line) without the more advanced area-blocking involved.
Former Seahawks offensive line coach Howard Mudd -- in Seattle, we know him as the man who made sure Walter Jones came to the Emerald City -- helped make this play the staple of the Colts' running game through the last decade. You will see different variants of it per team and against different defensive fronts, but the basic idea is always the same -- to push defenders into fits that they don't want to use. The Chiefs did that to the Seahawks to the tune of 270 total rushing yards, 173 from Charles alone.
After the 42-24 beat down was in the books, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll explained why Kansas City's rushing offense is so tough to stop. "They're a very fast team, and he makes them a very fast team," Carroll said. "(Charles is) a very dangerous player; he just runs around you. He's done it to everybody in the league, all season long. We tried hard to keep the edges -- you saw us string things to the sidelines, and knock things out of bounds like we wanted to, but not enough times. If you make a mistake and duck your head inside, he gets around the edge and turns it upfield.
Figure 1: Charles' first run (or downtown Tokyo)
"This is kind of their bread and butter, and they feed off that, and their play passes come out of that. But it's really just about dealing with speed, and they're a nice club (with their) blocking. They do a nice job on the edges -- the tight ends did a nice job, and the tackles had a good day against us, too."
Charles' first run from scrimmage against the Seahawks (Fig. 1) was as well-coordinated and effective version of the stretch play as you will see. With 9:40 left in the first quarter, the Chiefs took the ball with first-and-10 at their own 38-yard line. I'll have to apologize in advance that the play diagram looks like a road map of Downtown Tokyo, but as with most successful zone running plays, there's a lot going on here.
The first playside block came from inside receiver Terrance Copper, who blocked nickel back Jordan Babineaux out to the sideline. The tight end then took left defensive end Raheem Brock out of his area, and right tackle Ryan O'Callaghan moved up the right side to deal with middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu. Right guard Ryan Lilja pushed lineman Jay Richardson (who is playing the three-technique in this case) to the offensive right side, and center Casey Wiegmann took out weakside linebacker Will Herring. Left guard Brian Waters dealt with nose tackle Brandon Mebane after Weigmann chipped off Mebane to head upfield. Because right defensive end Chris Clemons was pursuing the pass, left tackle Barry Richardson could ignore him and head upfield as well. Strong safety Lawyer Milloy pursued outside the right C-gap (between the tackle and tight end), effectively taking himself out of the play.
Charles took the stretch (elongated to the right side) handoff from quarterback Matt Cassel, and he was off to the races in the gap opened up between Babineaux and Brock. Herring and Babineaux eventually recovered to set after Charles, along with Marcus Trufant and free safety Earl Thomas, who came over from deep weak side to make the tackle ... 27 yards downfield.
On this particular play, the Seahawks presented some pre-snap movement, but none of the inline creativity that might counteract typical cutback zone running. The twists and stunts that might have made a difference against most offenses was rendered irrelevant by the seamless combination of Charles' breakaway speed and Kansas City's airtight blocking. The Chiefs have an array of personnel sets that work well for their offense -- they run a lot of two-tight end sets, six-offensive line personnel, and receivers in motion to reveal coverage -- but this zone slide is very clearly their star play with their star player, and it's a real problem for any team facing it.
Tony Gonzalez, And Goal-to-Go
Green Bay Packers 17 at Atlanta Falcons 20
As Aaron pointed out in last week's Numbers Crunching for ESPN.com, the one hole in Green Bay's highly ranked pass defense is its ability to cover tight ends. You'd assume that against the Atlanta Falcons, the Pack would see a heavy diet of Tony Gonzalez, who's been a bit of a forgotten man this season, what with Roddy White getting so many of Matt Ryan's passes. The Great Gonzo ranks fourth among tight ends in catches, but he's on pace to finish the season with his first yards-per-catch average under 10 yards, and his YPC has decreased in each of the last five seasons. That may be a function of the fact that Ryan now has a more diverse palette when it's time to go deep, but against the Packers, we saw that offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey is using Gonzalez in some different ways.
Gonzalez caught each of his six targets in the game, but his two red-zone targets were most interesting from a formation perspective. The first (Fig. 2) came with 12 seconds left in the first half; a four-yard touchdown that broke a 3-3 tie. In this play, the Falcons seemed to take a page from Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy and his penchant for creative red-zone formation concepts. Of course, creative isn't always good, especially on "... and goal-to-go," but this example was very effective in taking attention off Matt Ryan's primary target.
Figure 2: Gonzalez's touchdown catch
The Falcons lined up in trips right with Roddy White, Harry Douglas, and Michael Jenkins from left to right, and Gonzalez on the other side. Green Bay countered with a nickel defense, which also would have befitted the Falcons had they opted to go with a pitch right to Michael Turner. But in this case, the plan was to get coverage off the strong side and have Gonzalez use his legendary ability to get free in tight windows. At the snap, White went straight up on Charles Woodson, Douglas went toward the middle on Charlie Peprah, and Jenkins took safety Sam Shields to the sideline.
Gonzalez ran a quick up-and-out look, but he broke back inside, taking a hard cut the other way. He shot between linebacker Desmond Bishop (who was dropping back from a moving blitz look) and safety Nick Collins, and headed toward the goalpost. Linebacker A.J. Hawk had his eyes on the three-receiver set, which cleared the middle for the catch. This reminded me a bit of what the Steelers have been doing with their bunch formation stuff recently. They're more prone to use bunch to focus coverage and run different short-to-medium option routes to the single receiver on the other side.
Figure 3: Gonzalez in motion
I also liked what the Falcons did with Gonzalez on the first play of the fourth quarter. It was a third-and-goal from the Green Bay 1-yard line, and Gonzalez was originally lined up in the halfback position of an offset-I, with Michael Turner as the fullback. Pre-snap, Gonzo motioned outside inline tight end Justin Peelle, which got Hawk, Bishop, and Peprah moving to that side. Bishop seemed to focus in on Turner -- he may have been awaiting the fullback blast that would seem a smart play in that circumstance -- but Gonzalez upped the ante at the snap by running an out route as the same time that Peelle's straight route took Hawk out of the play.
From there, it was up to Bishop and Peprah to catch up to Gonzalez at the sideline, They couldn't do so for the catch, but they managed to keep him out of the end zone. But Turner scored on the next play.
Conditioned as we are to see beyond the record to more illustrative and predictive factors, we look at the 9-2 Falcons with a tempered view. They're ninth in DVOA, have a pass defense is generally a problem (except, ironically, against tight ends), and their 7.2 Expected Wins tell a different story. Still, they pass the eye test in a lot of ways, and they've got the second-easiest schedule from a DVOA slant through the last five weeks of the season. Their offense is explosive, consistent and diverse, and Tony Gonzalez is a key to that in ways we may not have seen from him in previous years.

Good job, Douglas!

I'm a little confused how Gonzales didn't score on the last play diagrammed. He was stopped for no gain so it seems like the defenders must have had pretty good position on him, unless the throw was late. It seems like a solid play design, but shouldn't that out route be run past the goal line (the way it's diagrammed)? I didn't see the play so maybe I'm not visualizing it right.

If I'm recalling the correct play, his feet were in the endzone, but the ball never crossed the plane of the goal line, and he was shoved out with the ball still on the "wrong" side of the pylon.

In reply to Re: The Cover-2 Cookbook by Xian
Actually, he started to catch the ball as it was right over the goal line, but the ball was bobbled and not controlled until Gonzalez had come back over the goal line.
The Falcons challenged this play, but the original call of a catch for no gain was upheld.

but this zone slide is very clearly their star play with their star player, and it's a real problem for any team facing it.
The Broncos were expecting it a couple weeks ago, and their linebackers have been strong against the run. Now, we'll see if they can do it again, unless the Chiefs change their gameplan coming in to the game... they did throw for 400 yards after abandoning their original plan that day.
by ammek // Dec 02, 2010 - 9:39am
The zone slide is also the Packers' "bread and butter" running play, but they are much, much less effective at running it (less than 3.0 yards per carry off both ends this season), and have never really got it right since installing the zone scheme five years ago. Doug's illustration in this article shows how the play is supposed to be run; it's hard to identify what goes wrong for the Packers. The answer is probably: "a bit of everything". Neither the tackles nor the running backs have the Chiefs' speed; the point-of-attack blocking by tight ends and receivers is inconsistent; and the interior linemen have trouble recognizing stunts and misdirections by linebackers which enable them to get to the runner or collapse the line early.
Pete Carroll brings up something I'm not clear about: how does the outside run, as a bread-and-butter play, affect what the pass offense can do? He says: "their pass plays come out of that." What does he mean? I presume that if you get the defense going sideline-to-sideline it opens up the middle of the field; and from the diagram I can see the possibilities for a QB rollout to the weak side off play-action. What else?
by Doug Farrar // Dec 02, 2010 - 1:04pm
In reply to Re: The Cover-2 Cookbook by ammek
The pass plays work out of the stretch because they run play action out of it as well. I've seen Peyton do this for years, and it seems to me that Brees is doing more "stretch play action to rollout" stuff this year.

This craft fur deceiver has been a staple pattern for me these past few months here in Texas. I use this pattern when I am targeting large bass or fishing the Texas coast. This fly is tied on a rather large hook, so I usually throw this when I am trying to catch a big fish. It has proven its worth here in Texas but I'm certain that it will catch fish all over the place!
1. Cut a large clump of craft fur and comb out the underfur. Tie in the craft fur at the barb of the hook, letting it stick out the back about 3 inches.
2. Tie in about 4 strands of flash right on top of the craft fur. Tie these strands in about halfway, and then double them back over.
3. Take another 4 strands of flash and tie in the tips of the flash, leaving the strands hanging out the back of the hook. Then twist all of the stands together and wrap them up the hook shank. Tie off at about 2 eye lengths from the eye of the hook and cut off the excess.
4. Flip the hook over and cut a clump of bucktail about ½ pencil width. Tie in the bucktail on the bottom allowing the tips of the hair fibers to go about ½ way down the craft fur tail.
5. Flip the hook back upright and cut a clump of grey bucktail the same size as the white. Tie in the bucktail clump on top of the hook, allowing the tips of the hair fibers to go about ½ way down the craft fur tail this time as well.
6. Trim off any excess bucktail and tie down the fibers, sloping the thread down to the eye making a thread head. Go ahead and whip finish and cut off your thread.
7. Take your holographic eyes and glue them onto the sides of your thread head.
8. Take your UV resin and cover the eyes and the head. Hint: First put the Loon Thick UV Resin between the eyes and cure the resin. Then cover the whole head, including the eyes with the Deer Creek Diamond Fine UV Resin.

Desire, Indulgence, Fantasy and a Giant Grilled Cheese
By William Ruggiero April 5, 2013 Arts & Culture, Uncategorized
Photos by Chris Johnson.
My discussion with Cara Krebs (MFA candidate in Fiber and Material Studies 2013) began with a touch of American kitsch: we talked about cheeseburgers. Their form. Their allure. Their status as objects of shame. I reminisced about being a young kid and seeing the gummy candies shaped like cheeseburgers, and how I never brought myself to bite into one. Coincidentally, cheeseburgers were a common denominator between Cara and me. Cara reached into her bag and pulled out a cloth wallet she bought that is shaped like a cheeseburger. It was a soft, round, trompe l'oeil object that folds open like two buns, one side with lettuce and tomato, and the other with a realistically rendered meat patty. Both the cheeseburger gummy and wallet fall under what Cara calls "novelty," a category that is part of a larger system that structures her practice. Held by magnets on her studio cabinet, there is a Venn diagram she created that graphically organizes her interests in food into categories such as: fudge-like, translucence, novelty and color. For her, the wallet presents a desire to make a food-shaped "completely functioning and necessary object that can be really cute, uncanny and weird." These material forms that generate a purely indulgent desire are what interests Cara Krebs — channeling the materially luscious, attractive yet edible.
I had the opportunity to sit down with Cara and gain insight into her latest homage to an American classic: a giant, out of this world, grilled cheese sandwich. One can imagine that this piece will garner a lot of attention in the upcoming MFA show. In reference to her subject matter and overwhelming scale, I heard a visitor on Open Studios Night last fall pass around the name Claes Oldenburg. But this sandwich and her practice is not part of that conversation. There is no kitsch, or overt irony. Cara experiments with material, plays with different modes of rendering artificiality and fantasy and assures that a viewer is humbled by an intimate experience.
As the artist describes it, an "otherworldly" space exists in between two eight-foot-long slices of Styrofoam bread she has built. The top slice of bread has a type of oculus at its center, a hole over which she has placed a green sheet of Plexiglas. It filters the light into the piece. A curved concave canvas structure supports the slices, painted with rich green tones, textures and shapes that give a pleasantly alluring sense of depth as it comes into contact with the green light from above. This dimensionality is questioned when sculptural elements are hung from the top slices of bread: stuffed yellow fabric oozing down and gesturing toward stalactites of dripping cheese. On the floor of the interior are organic constructions — barnacle-like mountainous structures of sphagnum moss, and buttery clumps dripping out of the artwork. It is a fantastical world that cannot be fully contained within the bread.
Krebs creates "a new kind of permanence" for the grilled cheese sandwich, part of her interest in using the material qualities of foods to create immersive environments. The lowbrow, yet celebrated cultural status of the grilled cheese sandwich provides a platform for Krebs to visually abstract it as a comfort food. "Eating a grilled cheese is a simple, humble, but completely indulgent experience," she told me. Her material construction's portability and relation to children's food allows it to become a type of toy, where the food has "grown so large that it becomes weird." While this tremendous scale is a first for Cara, she says: "I've always been interested in other worlds.Things that I just found intriguing, joyful, or important. Creating worlds for them to exist in and to be notable. Maybe it comes from a compulsion for collecting things. I'm interested when [worlds] come together in the context of art, which is made for viewing and experience."
Hanging on the wall next to the sandwich is a red, smooth and amorphous sculptural object with a blue center. Light bounces inside of its rounded surface. Almost like jello, it has a seductive yet subtle, playful quality. Krebs informs me that it's made of the same material as gummy worms. Its squishy and fluid shape translates with a type of organic plasticity that beckons the viewer to touch it, or act on it. This is the suspension Krebs aims to provoke, a desire to pass through the object.
Cara Krebs. "Untitled;" 2012; gummy candy, plastic, Plasticine, petroleum jelly; 43" x 39" x 3.5"
Her interest in "translucence," also part of her diagram, derives from the visual access that this squishy solid gives the viewer. "You can pass through it," she says. The liminal space blurs the boundaries between desire, indulgence and fantasy. Similar to the grilled cheese, the piece creates an intimate space of an imagined tactility, of inhabiting the material landscape.
In one of her previous works, Krebs took shortening and petroleum jelly and mixed the two. She spread a large quantity of the mixture on her studio floor, paying close attention to creating a whipped texture with delicate peaks. She aptly titled it "Frosting." The desire for these foods is channeled into a desire to exist with them in the same space. Moving from a work like "Frosting," which acted more like ornament to the ever-growing grilled cheese, Cara Krebs exhibits a desire to create a space that is inviting, bizarre and safe. Foods that represent simple pleasure are also sites for transformation, doors to other realities and complex material explorations. But viewers of art are never given access into this world, but are rather asked to remain on the threshold imagining what it would be like to pass through it.

Retour à l'état sauvage (titre original : ) est le premier roman pour la jeunesse de la série La Guerre des clans d'Erin Hunter. L'intrigue est centrée autour de l'intégration de Rusty, un chat domestique, dans un clan de chats harets nommé le Clan du Tonnerre. Le chat, rebaptisé Nuage de Feu, devra apprendre à survivre dans la forêt et à se battre contre les autres clans. Un jour, il deviendra guerrier et sera renommé « Cœur de Feu ».

L'univers de La Guerre des clans est créé par Victoria Holmes qui développe toute la mythologie et les règles des chats vivant dans la forêt. L'écriture du roman est confiée à Kate Cary et le duo Holmes/Cary est caché sous le nom de plume d'Erin Hunter. Le livre est publié , d'abord au Canada, puis aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni. De nombreuses traductions suivront, dont la traduction française réalisée par Cécile Pournin et publiée en .

Retour à l'état sauvage contient de nombreux thèmes tels que la famille, la bravoure ou la survie. Il a reçu des échos positifs de la presse spécialisée dans les livres pour la jeunesse.

Résumé

Le roman s'ouvre sur un prologue guerrier où le Clan du Tonnerre, et celui de la Rivière s'affrontent. Le Clan du Tonnerre est dominé en nombre et leur lieutenant ordonne la retraite. Une allusion cachée est faite au héros sous la forme d'une prophétie du clan donnée par les esprits de leurs ancêtres : « Seul le feu sauvera notre clan ».

Rusty est un chat domestique ordinaire qui rêve d'une vie sauvage, chasser son propre gibier et dormir à la belle étoile. Une nuit, il décide d'explorer la forêt avoisinant sa maison. Rusty pénètre dans les bois, où il rencontre Étoile Bleue, la meneuse du Clan du Tonnerre. Après un combat contre Nuage Gris, Rusty accepte sa proposition de rejoindre la troupe et est baptisé Nuage de Feu, apprenti du Clan du Tonnerre. Les autres membres du Clan n'acceptent pas immédiatement Nuage de Feu en raison de ses gènes de chat domestique, mais il se fait peu à peu une place en prouvant sa bravoure, son courage et sa loyauté envers le Clan du Tonnerre.

Les chats ont des ennemis naturels dans la forêt tel que les blaireaux ou les renards, ils peuvent se battre entre eux pour gagner de nouveaux terrains de chasse, régler un différend ou même chasser des guerriers adverses d'un territoire qui n'est pas le leur. Trois autres clans se partagent ce territoire : le Clan de la Rivière, le Clan du Vent et le Clan de l'Ombre.

Nuage de Feu devient rapidement le meilleur ami de Nuage Gris et Nuage de Jais, d'autres apprentis du Clan, et tombe amoureux de Petite Feuille, la guérisseuse du Clan du Tonnerre. Durant son apprentissage, il découvre la chasse, le combat, la survie et comprend les traditions des Clans. Il se fait une grande amie, Croc Jaune, vieille, arrogante, mais très intelligente, une guérisseuse exilée du Clan de l'Ombre, et plus tard, ramenée au Clan du Tonnerre, où Nuage de Feu prendra soin d'elle. Étoile Brisée, le meneur du Clan de l'Ombre, menace la forêt, il vole les chatons des autres Clans et ne respecte pas le code du guerrier et Nuage de Feu va prouver sa valeur en le chassant. Il reçoit alors son nom de guerrier : . Mais un autre danger menace le clan : l'un de ses guerriers, Griffe de Tigre, est prêt à tuer tous ceux qui se dresseront sur sa route pour conquérir le pouvoir. Parmi ses victimes potentielles, se trouve Nuage de Jais qui en sait un peu trop sur lui...

Historique

Conception

En 2003, HarperCollins demande à Victoria Holmes d'écrire une collection de livres de  autour du sujet des chats harets, mais celle-ci est très peu enthousiaste car elle n'aime ni les chats, ni la  et . Cependant, elle travaille sur le concept, enrichissant l'intrigue avec des guerres, de la politique, des vengeances, des amours impossibles et des conflits religieux. Elle choisit de créer des clans de chats harets pour pouvoir combiner l'indépendance et la liberté d'un animal sauvage à l'identification facile du lecteur à son animal de compagnie préféré. L'idée d'origine est de créer un unique roman. Toutefois, Victoria Holmes développe suffisamment de matière pour écrire plusieurs livres, et l'éditeur décide de créer une série en six volumes.

Le premier volume Retour à l'état sauvage est écrit en trois mois par Kate Cary sous le pseudonyme Erin Hunter ; elle est épaulée par Victoria Holmes qui s'assure de la continuité de l'univers, de ses personnages et traditions. Kate Cary a trouvé que s'insérer dans l'univers peuplé de chats construit par Victoria Holmes était facile en raison de son amour pour le félin domestique qui a, selon elle, une personnalité bien définie.

La forêt fictive du roman est inspirée du parc national New Forest, des bois autour du Loch Lomond, de la forêt de Dean et des Highlands. Kate Cary est inspirée par les romans de fantasy d'Enid Blyton, de Lucy Maud Montgomery et par les aventures de Alice Roy de Caroline Quine.

Publication
Retour à l'état sauvage est publié pour la première fois en couverture rigide par HarperCollins le  au Canada. Le livre sort aux États-Unis le  et au Royaume-Uni en . L'édition en livre de poche sort aux États-Unis le  et le  paraissent les versions eBook et Kindle. Un tiers du roman est disponible en ligne sur le site d'HarperCollins.

Le roman est traduit en lituanien, en tchèque, en japonais, en russe, en allemand et en coréen. Une version chinoise sort le  avec une carte en 3D représentant Nuage de Feu/Cœur de Feu. La version française est traduite par Cécile Pournin et sort aux éditions Pocket Jeunesse le , puis est réédité en livre de poche le .

Thèmes
Le roman évoque la famille, la perte, l'honneur, la mort, la bravoure et le respect de la loi. Selon le Publishers Weekly, la famille, l'amitié et le sens de la responsabilité font partie du code du guerrier, ensemble des règles que les clans doivent suivre. Books For Youth ajoute que « la mort, la survie, la bravoure et le courage sont les thèmes forts de ce récit. Parmi eux, il y a la déception, la trahison, la responsabilité et le parti pris. »

Réception critique
Retour à l'état sauvage a généralement reçu des critiques positives. La revue littéraire Booklist trouve que le roman donne des frissons dans le dos et note que les personnages félins sont réalistes dans leur comportement, ce qui devrait plaire aux fans de la série Ratha's Creature de Clare Bell et de la série Rougemuraille de Brian Jacques. Pour le Publishers Weekly, il est « certain que le livre plaira aux jeunes lecteurs qui se sont demandé quels rêves de grandeurs peuvent hanter les chats ». Selon Kirkus Reviews, le livre « pousse ses lecteurs à regarder minet avec une pointe de nervosité ». Bien que le School Library Journal trouve que le livre n'est pas aussi bien écrit que la série Rougemuraille, il trouve que le roman présente un « monde fascinant avec une structure complexe. » En revanche, Children's Literature trouve l'écriture monotone.

Retour à l'état sauvage a obtenu la troisième place du Young Reader's Choice Award en 2006. Le roman est listé parmi les 10 premiers livre de fantasy pour la jeunesse par Booklist en 2003.

California's notorious Three Strikes Law took any human judgment out of sentencing by mandating 25 years to life for a third conviction, even for something as inconsequential as a stolen pizza or bike. California's prison gulag grew astronomically as courts became machines denuded of a judge's discretion.
The prison system itself became an even more abusive criminal monster, now under the supervision of the courts. The unintended consequences became so extreme that a new proposition just passed in California to give judges some discretion to reevaluate sentences for non-violent third strike offenses.
Mechanical justice took on a new angle with the advent of ubiquitous video-surveillance cameras at traffic stoplights. Computer-generated identification is a gold mine for municipal revenue enhancement, churning out tickets at $500 a pop for technical infractions like not coming to a full stop before turning on red.
New digital surveillance technology provides precise evidence of technical guilt. With no wiggle room, there is no way for human judgment to catch up.
Advanced digital technology, touted for its far-reaching precision, was originally promoted by HMO advocates during the healthcare reform debate as a way to enhance healthcare delivery. But when deployed by corporate interests, it is really about cost-cutting and revenue enhancement.
Doctors at the HMO where I work are not only facing ever-increased speedup, but also are monitored by the computer. Because their workloads have become so huge, often doctors are caught making a choice between charting duties or taking care of the next patient.
A doctor's daily routine has been profoundly transformed through ever-increasing speedup and mechanization. Karl Marx warned us that the capitalist will increasingly transform every single profession in society, driving them into the ranks of proletarians, even professions hitherto considered sacred, from men of letters and jurists to teachers and doctors.
For HMO accountants and administrators, foremen of the modern healthcare assembly line, charting is a "cover your behind" legal matter as well as a way to speed revenue recovery. They instituted a sort of scarlet letter punishment method, publicly announcing that a doctor has been suspended due to a backlog of incomplete charts.
It was shocking to see so many doctors, whom I have known for many years as life-saving dedicated professionals, treated in such a demeaning way. Doctors too have joined the ranks of "indignant hearts" that once belonged only to nurses, housekeepers and other rank-and-file healthcare workers.
We frontline workers know that much of what is called charting has little to do with patient care, but is monitoring the legal and financial aspects of care. Real and chronic systemic deficiencies are covered up, while individual employees, whatever their skill level, become scapegoats.
Everyone—doctors, nurses, lab techs, aides, clericals—is sped up to the point where mistakes are inevitable. The mechanized investigation, discipline and training, instituted to deal with mistakes, has less to do with resolving them than with protecting the company's legal and financial bottom line.
Punishment is meted out based on precise surveillance data, leaving no wiggle room. Human interpretation of data has been wrenched out of the process, as well as the spirit of the regulations and guidelines that were written supposedly with healthcare in mind.
Recently, the California Department of Health issued a sanction against Kaiser when its investigation, triggered by patient and staff complaints, determined that the HMO systematically denied patients access to prompt and adequate mental healthcare. Patients are corralled into group therapy to manage short staffing and other cost cutting policies.
The computer with its air of objectivity has come to dominate human beings. The usurping of human judgment pervades all of society, from healthcare and education to manufacturing and the judicial sphere. Human empathy and understanding have been replaced by automated thinking that mimics the computer. Reclaiming our own minds is a step towards human freedom.

Why Is Coupa Software (COUP) Down 12.5% Since Last Earnings Report?
October 7, 2021, 11:30 AM ·4 min read
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Coupa Software (COUP). Shares have lost about 12.5% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Coupa Software due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Coupa Software Q2 Earnings & Revenues Top Estimates
Coupa Software Inc. reported second-quarter fiscal 2022 non-GAAP earnings of 26 cents per share in contrast to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss per share of 7 cents. The bottom line increased 23.8% from the year-ago quarter's reported figure.
Revenues of $179.2 million outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.3%. The top line increased 42.3% from the prior-year quarter's figure.
Subscription revenues (87.2% of total revenues) increased 40% year over year to $156.2 million. Professional services & other revenues (12.8%) surged 60.5% year over year to $23 million.
The top line benefited from strong uptake of the company's Business Spend Management (BSM) and Coupa Pay offerings, including Coupa Treasury and Coupa Supply Chain Management.
Major Highlights
For the fiscal second quarter, calculated billings came in at $195 million, up 49% year over year. In April 2021, Coupa Software entered into a strategic partnership with Japan Cloud to establish a joint venture known as Coupa K.K. This joint venture will enable Coupa to scale up to support the growing number of Japanese companies looking to gain greater efficiency and agility through BSM.
The company continued to add clients to its customer base in the reported quarter. Some of the notable new deal wins in the quarter included Adastria Co., AR Holdings, Asklepios BioPharmaceutical, Cuprum, DiCE Molecules, Fairlead Integrated, FIFA, Foghorn Therapeutics, Garrett Motion, Greenstone Financial Services, Groupe Lapointe Dentaire, Imago BioSciences, JG Summit Holdings, JGC Holdings, Jubin Frères, mobilezone, Novelis, PACT Group, Progress Rail Services, ProSciento, Sasol, SCG Packaging, Schwan's Company, Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma, Suzano, Unilab, Walker & Dunlop, WestJet Airlines, and Workato.
Moreover, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company launched Coupa App Marketplace, connecting businesses with certified, pre-built solutions to tap into a global ecosystem.
However, Coupa Software faces stiff competition from SAP's Ariba, Fieldglass, and Concur solutions, and Oracle's Procurement Cloud offerings.
Margin Details
Non-GAAP gross margin contracted 50 basis points (bps) from the prior-year quarter's level to 71.6%.
Non-GAAP research and development expenses increased 34.3% year over year to $30.7 million.
Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses surged 31.8% year over year to $50.9 million
Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses increased 17.3% year over year to $20 million.
Non-GAAP operating income surged 117.5% year over year to $26.7 million.
Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 520 bps on a year-over-year basis to 14.9%.
Balance Sheet & Cash Flow
Coupa Software had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $633.5 million as of Jul 31, 2021, compared with $600.3 million as of Apr 30, 2021.
For the fiscal second quarter, cash flow from operations came in at $40.8 million compared with $32 million in the previous quarter. Adjusted free cash flow totaled $36.9 million compared with $30 million reported in the prior quarter.
For third-quarter fiscal 2022, revenues are anticipated in the range of $177-$178 million. While Subscription revenues are expected between $158 million and $159 million, professional services revenues are anticipated to be approximately $19 million.
Non-GAAP income from operations is estimated in the range of $6-$7 million. Non-GAAP net income per share is projected in the range of 1-3 cents.
For fiscal 2022, Coupa Software projects revenues between $706 million and $708 million.
Non-GAAP income from operations is anticipated in the range of $40-$41 million. Non-GAAP net income per share is now expected in the band of 27-29 cents.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?
It turns out, fresh estimates have trended upward during the past month. The consensus estimate has shifted 15.79% due to these changes.
VGM Scores
At this time, Coupa Software has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a C. However, the stock was allocated a grade of F on the value side, putting it in the fifth quintile for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Estimates have been trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Notably, Coupa Software has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Supercedes: https://labordynamicsinstitute.github.io/qwi_schemas/formats/V4.4.0/lehd_public_use_schema.html#_supersedes (also in the naming convention supercedes section: https://labordynamicsinstitute.github.io/qwi_schemas/formats/V4.4.0/lehd_csv_naming.html#_supersedes) should be changed to "V4.3.1". This hadn't been updated in awhile.
Geographic Levels table: https://labordynamicsinstitute.github.io/qwi_schemas/formats/V4.4.0/lehd_public_use_schema.html#geo_level isn't displaying correctly. The "Source" column header is appearing as a value underneath "geo_level". The spacing of the columns could be better as well to allow more space for the long descriptions.
State Postal Codes table: https://labordynamicsinstitute.github.io/qwi_schemas/formats/V4.4.0/lehd_public_use_schema.html#_state_postal_codes also has wrapping issues. In V4.3.1, the "labels" column in "label_stusps.csv" was not displayed, but it looks like it's trying to display here.
In the Aggregation level: https://labordynamicsinstitute.github.io/qwi_schemas/formats/V4.4.0/lehd_public_use_schema.html#_aggregation_level section, the 2nd table is a mess and seems to have the above issue of the csv having more columns than the display has allocated.
In the Version Metadata: https://labordynamicsinstitute.github.io/qwi_schemas/formats/V4.4.0/lehd_public_use_schema.html#_version_metadata_for_qwi_and_j2j_files_version_txt section, the 2nd embedded version file (J2J for DE R2018Q2) isn't showing the actual contents of the table. It's showing : " ..." instead.
In the Filenaming Schema table: https://labordynamicsinstitute.github.io/qwi_schemas/formats/V4.4.0/lehd_csv_naming.html#_basic_filename_schema, there are three "" in the 2nd row of the Type column and one in the 4th row (although this one appears in V4.3.1 as well) that look to be escaping underscores, but they should not appear in this table.
@jodyhoonstarr are you working on this? Please let me know.
@larsvilhuber Yeah, I have a local docker setup with this repo and the asciidoctor image. I'll start working through these issues.
@larsvilhuber Any thoughts on getting the long descriptions from the geographic levels csv formatted correctly? I can't get asciidoctor to recognize the column widths (i.e. cols="^1,<3,<4,<2,<1") format using either relative values or percentages. It seems to force autowidth.
commit your branch back to github, and I can take a stab at it.

I actually think this may be related to asciidoctor/asciidoctor#2186. I may just surrender on styling and get the content right for now.
This is where our mixture of scripts and asciidoc can help. We can use scripts to modify the content for display only. Point me to the exact problem, and I can offer a solution.
Ahh, got it - will just filter bits of the csv in bash. Thanks, I'll ping you if I run into other issues.

Nearly done the initial list. Adding a few more issues that have been brought up.
Replace all instances of the text "http" with "https". I think all the hyperlinks are fine (since they don't specify the http part of the URL), so it's just the plan text that needs to change.
In http://lehd-app1.dev.ces.census.gov/data/schema/V4.4.0/lehd_shapefiles.html#_scope second paragraph, make "QWI" and "J2J" text hyperlinks rather than displaying the URLs in brackets after.
Remove extra closing bracket from "[type]]" in http://lehd-app1.dev.ces.census.gov/data/schema/V4.4.0/lehd_shapefiles.html#_basic_naming_schema.
In http://lehd-app1.dev.ces.census.gov/data/schema/V4.4.0/lehd_shapefiles.html#_geography, make the "The valid codes correspond to..." sentence it's own line (so that the hyperlink is on it's own line. Also delete "and label_geography_metro.csv" from the sentence since the "B" geo_levels are now included in the label_geography.csv file.
In http://lehd-app1.dev.ces.census.gov/data/schema/V4.4.0/lehd_shapefiles.html#_name, add "(label_geography.csv) as it's own line at the beginning of this section (as done in other sections). Also delete "and label_geography_metro.csv" from the sentence since the "B" geo_levels are now included in the label_geography.csv file.
In http://lehd-app1.dev.ces.census.gov/data/schema/V4.4.0/lehd_public_use_schema.html#geo_level, the last sentence should read: "The 2018 vintage of Census TIGER/Line geography is used for all tabulations as of the R2019Q1 release."
In http://lehd-app1.dev.ces.census.gov/data/schema/V4.4.0/lehd_shapefiles.html#_sources, replace all "2017" text with "20018" and update the URLs to go to "../TIGER2018/..."
For the above change, does http://lehd-app1.dev.ces.census.gov/data/schema/V4.4.0/lehd_shapefiles.html#changes need to be updated?
Yes, that should be updated for the changes file. Are there also changes to some URLs that need to be updated?

Delta Force Master Sgt REVEALS Truth About Navy SEAL's Death Under President Trump's Watch – 'No One Knows…'
by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton | February 9, 2017 9:01 am
The media was quick to jump all over President Trump[1] for lack of intel and sloppy planning when a Navy SEAL was killed in an ambush by al Qaeda in Yemen. But it just isn't so. These special teams plan every single detail, but you can never account for everything that can happen. A good man died over there because this is war and that happens. I didn't hear the media decry Obama as thousands of military men and women died[2] on his watch. Under Obama, America has been at war for longer than any other US president and yet the minute one man is cut down by terrorists in Yemen during the Trump Presidency, the media swarms all over it. Disgusting.
Navy SEAL Ryan "William" Owens died protecting all of us. But it was not President Trump's fault he was killed. Yemen is the most deadly place on the planet… if you are white, your life expectancy there is very short. There are terrorist groups at every check point. "People going after Trump for Yemen do not understand how raids work. I've been on several, and sometimes the worst-case scenario is what happens," Comstock said. "They don't have any idea what could have gone wrong, how complex the planning was, and if anyone on the SEAL team made a mistake," he continued. "To blame it on Trump is more than short-sighted. He doesn't control the forces on the ground. And he has enough respect for our military that he defers to the professionals who he chose to lead the greatest fighting force on the planet."
From the Conservative Tribune:
A Delta Force member has spoken out against the mainstream media for trying to blame the Trump administration for a raid in Yemen that killed a Navy SEAL, the Independent Journal Review[4] reported.
In an interview with the publication, Army Delta Force operator, Green Beret, and Master Sgt. Dale Comstock said the media perception of fighting terrorists was completely different from reality.
Chief Petty Officer Ryan "William" Owens[5], a Navy SEAL, was killed during the Jan. 19 raid against Al Qaeda targets.
"Much of the media has no f***ing clue what they're talking about," Comstock said. "I've been to over 70 countries in the world as a soldier, security consultant and civilian. I've been to every country in the Middle East. Yemen is one of the most dangerous countries on the planet. Syria isn't the most dangerous country in the Middle East, Yemen is.
"Most roads in Yemen have manned checkpoints," he continued. "There are terrorist groups at every checkpoint. There is Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Houthis — who are funded by Iran. The streets aren't safe.
"If you have a white face on the streets of Yemen, it's a death sentence. There is a very high chance that you will get captured and killed."
The military love and respect President Trump and General Mattis. If we are to eradicate groups such as ISIS, al Qaeda and the Houthis, soldiers are going to die. But if the war is fought right and aggressively, fewer will die in the long run.
Comstock also had this to say:
"The Emirati army occupies the airport. But the checkpoints into the airport are manned by one of the jihadists groups, all three of which think killing Americans is a sacred duty.
You can't move on foot. You can't move on the roads. If you do, you'll end up in a firefight that could cost you and your team your lives.
The terrorists have protected themselves and secured themselves, too. They have IEDs surrounding their bases. They have tripwires. They run surveillance and counter surveillance. In some ways, they operate like a military without a state behind them. They've learned a lot of lessons from Iraq, and because of that, they are much more deadly than before.
Because of the extremely dangerous conditions, it's not an easy place for a Navy SEAL or any other operator to do their job. The situation on the ground is a lot like Somalia was.
If an American soldier was spotted, people would jump at the chance to kill them and parade their body in front of everyone."
Comstock pointed out who he held chiefly responsible when he lost friends on the battlefield, "I've lost my buddies on the other side of the world. But the main person I held accountable for their death wasn't the Commander-in-Chief I was serving at the time, it was the enemy I was sent to kill." That's correct, it is the enemy that is killing our soldiers, not our President. It's disgraceful to try and pin the blame on Trump. In fact, to be brutally honest, Obama empowered these Jihadists. You might want to speak with him about that.
The media was quick to jump all over President Trump: http://conservativetribune.com/delta-force-trump-op-seal-died/

World Asthma Day 2022: Closing Gaps in Asthma Care
Lauren Biscaldi, Managing Editor
This year's theme is focused on raising awareness about current gaps in care.
This year, the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) has chosen "Closing Gaps in Asthma Care" as the World Asthma Day theme. Through this theme, the organization hopes to raise awareness of the current gaps in care, including equal access to diagnosis and treatment, care for differing socioeconomic, ethnic, and age groups, and communication and care across primary, secondary, and tertiary care providers, among others.1
To achieve these objectives, GINA hosts a library of regularly updated and evidence-based strategy documents.2 However, "implementing recommendations based on scientific evidence is challenging," an organizational press released noted. "Not all local solutions are applicable globally, and similarly, global recommendations may not be applicable locally."
The challenge posed by this year's theme, the organization said, is "for international respiratory communities to work together to identify and close the gaps in asthma care, and to help implement and share innovative solutions."
Other organizations, including the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) and the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS), are also calling on international respiratory communities "to work together with colleagues, patients, communities, and health care providers to close the gaps in asthma care."3

Interview: Zaira Wasim – ''I've been very lucky to work again with Aamir sir and the same crew''.
Zaira Wasim the budding child actor had made her big Bollywood film debut with 2016's biggest hit film ''Dangal'' and she impressed everyone with her performance as the young version of Geeta Phogat in the film. Now she's finally gearing up for her second film ''Secret Superstar'' starring Aamir Khan and Mahi Vij releasing this Diwali 2017.
How has your journey been from ''Dangal'' to ''Secret Superstar''?
My journey so far to be very frank and honest from Dangal to Secret Superstar has been very great. Many good things I've observed in this journey actually like I feel that am very lucky and blessed to work again with Aamir Sir and same crew which was there while entire shoot of Dangal and also the fact that I've got to work on such two powerful script with content oriented roles and both these films are very special and dear to me.
Tell us something about your journey before ''Dangal'' ….
Before Dangal I feel like what I am doing right now my life was pretty similar like this even before Dangal happened. People literally think that my life is literally very much upside down but I think and feel that it's pretty much the same as there's not much difference to how my life was before and after Dangal. Like I come from a family where girl child was considered and still is seen as very backward so I am not at all a movie freak person who actually does an effort to go to theatres and watch movies and in real life too I have not seen that much films as such. But my father supported me very much in regards to my film career as an actor.
Was it planned that Secret Superstar would come after Dangal?
Infact I'll tell you that I was cast and signed for Secret Superstar before I had even started shooting for my first film which was Dangal. By the end of shoot of Dangal, we started shooting for Secret Superstar and they released the teaser during Dangal.
Advait Sir had said that he tried to convince you very hard that don't do Dangal is it true?
Yaa right you heard as he tried very hard to convince me into not doing Dangal but he knew that it was not possible at all as that time my priority was Dangal.
How was your experience of working with Advait during Secret Superstar?
I was hanging around with almost same crew which we had for Dangal. But apart from that fact, I feel both the journeys were fun as while shooting with them all over again, we reached a point where it felt like I was working with my friends. And of course I was very happy and thrilled to be working with Aamir Sir again. It was quiet fun but the role I played was challenging as I could not connect to the character of Sanam as I actually come from a family where everyone is very supportive of me and my career and the father I have in the film is very different from my father in real life.
Tell us about your first interaction with Mr. Khan?
It happened through school and really I've always been a very shy kid and I would not interact with a lot of people who I didn't know. But there was a time where a play was being held in our school like a drama based on female foeticide so I took a part in it and I was playing the unborn foetus and it turned out to be very good. So then our principal sort of discovered that this girl can act and a casting director from Mukesh Chhabra's Office was in Kashmir and he was looking for a girl for a film and he also happened to visit our school in that time period so that's when principal gave in my name and I shot an Ad then another ad and after that I got shortlisted for the role in Dangal.
You've done 2 films now with Aamir Sir so what kind of rapport do you share?
Actually he's like family to me now. He's both a father figure and a friend to me. Whenever I need some type of advice, help or want to just talk to him regarding anything, he's just there a call away always ready to help me out.
What's your take on the criticism you've received from many people who think you shouldn't do films?
See I believe that lot of people have their own opinions and it's totally okay as they're entitled to their opinions and they don't bother me anymore as I've learned the hard way and come to terms with the fact that opinions do not define the reality and it doesn't even affect me personally now.

Updated Alert: 76 people took action for a stronger plan.
The Santa Barbara City Council voted 6-1 to pass the Climate Action Plan with the direction for a 25% reduction in community wide emissions from 1990 levels by 2020. Councilmember Grant House voted no as a protest vote, wanting to set the goal higher at 50%, and Councilmember Cathy Murillo also strongly advocated for higher goals.
Overall, the Council felt that the 25% target was ambitious, and directed staff to exceed the target if possible. Several Councilmembers mentioned CEC's analysis and support numerous times, and there was no discussion about weakening the plan or voting against it. While CEC would have liked to have seen a stronger target and implementation plan, the 68 emission reduction measures include many worthwhile projects, and we look forward to working with the City in implementation efforts.
On Tuesday, September 18, the Santa Barbara City Council will consider adopting a draft Climate Action Plan (Read the plan). The proposed plan identifies local strategies to reduce carbon emissions that contribute to global climate change, such as energy use, travel and land use, vegetation, waste reduction, and water conservation measures. The plan also outlines strategies for adapting to climate change effects (e.g., sea level rise).
While CEC supports the City's efforts, we do not feel the plan goes far enough. (Read our letter to the City Council.) The City is depending on low population growth and state actions to reach important emission reduction goals. And while the Climate Action Plan does put forth some visionary, far reaching policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it does not lay out how these policies will be accomplished.
1. Set a more ambitious greenhouse gas reduction target of 50% below 1990 levels by 2020, an achievable target that reflects our status as a green minded community and the birthplace of the environmental movement.
2. Prioritize, focus and strengthen the key policies that help the City reach its reduction goals: Alternative/Advanced Fuels, Community Choice Aggregation, and Parking Policies. These three large, community wide measures account for 72% of the calculated 138,561 metric tons reductions by 2020 and deserve actionable strategies to back up the plan.
3. Adopt a Climate Action Strategy. We can build an economically strong community that helps combat climate change. A strong strategy can bring jobs to Santa Barbara, encourage civic engagement, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Without a plan, these opportunities will be lost to us.
