We have very little information about team strength.
Hence we need to include a larger fraction of teams
to have a good sense of things. CF is fuzzier than CB.
MLB plays many more games and we can better resolve relative strength.
SAT scores resolve relative strength even better.
We can talk about 0.99 rank and 0.999 rank with confidence.

Jameis Winston cited for shoplifting crab legs at Publix
Another Obama nigger in the spotlight.
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was issued a citation
Tuesday for shoplifting crab legs from Publix, according to
multiple sources. Winston, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner,
is a red-shirt sophomore for the Seminoles.
"He got an adult civil citation," a trusted source inside
Tallahassee Police told Tomahawk Nation. "If he completes the
sanctions it will never show up on his record. They commonly
give them to juveniles on first criminal offenses. They are now
doing it for minor misdemeanors for adults to lower crime rate."
Winston tossed the winning touchdown in the National
Championship game over Auburn in the closing seconds. On the
year, he was 257-384 for 4057 yards and 40 touchdowns with 10
interceptions.
Winston has had previous run-ins with the law, but no arrests.
He was investigated for an alleged rape, but the State Attorney
declined to bring charges due to a lack of evidence. In
November, the associated press reported that Winston was
questioned about his involvement in a long-running BB gun
battle, and that a Burger King reported Winston was stealing
soda in a ketchup cup.
The timing of the citation is interesting given that the NCAA
recently approved unlimited meals for student athletes.

I've been waiting for a post to respond! Sooner or later I knew some
misery would enjoy company.
First, he has not been charged with anything. That is unbelievable.
That does not mean I support him - there is no reason for him to have
that crap in his possession. That's too much even if he has a medical
prescription. If he has done wrong he is not special because he is at
Bama. Burn him!
I did notice the color of his skin. One of my thoughts is that "it's
not another black player - GOOD!" It's about time that the guilty ones
are not always black.
My first thought was "What country is a guy named Freitag from - he
can't be an American with that name!" Then I see he is from Georgia.
If guilty my feeling is that he should be punished more than an
athlete from any other school.

White House pool reporters test own news distribution system
By Paul Farhi October 14 at 7:11 PM
White House journalists are creating an alternative system for
distributing their media "pool" reports in response to the Obama
administration's involvement in approving and disapproving certain content
in official reports.
A small group of reporters initiated an online forum this month in which
they shared "pool" information among themselves, without White House
involvement. The forum was set up by the White House Correspondents'
Association (WHCA), which negotiates with the White House's press staff
over access for journalists.
Pool reports — those summaries of the president's public appearances that
go to the news media at large and are used in countless news stories — are
filed by a rotating group of journalists whose work is intended to be free
of content changes by the White House.
The pool journalists, however, must submit their reports to the White
House press office, which distributes them via e-mail to hundreds of news
organizations and others. The White House maintains the list of recipients.
Reporters have complained that the Obama White House exploits its role as
distributor to demand changes in pool reports and that the press office
has delayed or refused to distribute some reports until they are amended
to officials' satisfaction.
But now, some journalists are sharing their White House reporting using
Google Groups — the digital service that allows registered users to
receive and send information within a closed circle. In an early test of
the supplemental system, journalists shared pool information about
President Obama's trip to Chicago this month. The system has been used for
"advisories," such as where the pool is assembling, when another pool
report will be issued or whether a correction is in the works.
Nearly 90 journalists, all working for print media, are part of the Google
Groups distribution — a small fraction of the estimated 8,000 people,
agencies and organizations that receive the "official" pool reports sent
out by the White House.
The goal is to create an independent pool-reporting system for print and
online recipients, the WHCA members say. TV and radio reporters already
have such a system, but print and online reporters — a far larger group
than broadcasters — are dependent on the White House to manage and
maintain the distribution system.
"Our goal here is to build a supplementary system for the print poolers so
they can send out information directly to other reporters whenever they
feel they need to, much as the TV and radio poolers do now," said WHCA
President Christi Parsons, who is the White House correspondent for
Tribune newspapers.
Parsons said that an alternative system would serve as a backup to the
main system in case of breakdowns, such as one that occurred on
Inauguration Day in 2009. Such a system also would be faster than going
through the White House, she said, given occasional delays in getting
reports issued.
But for various reasons, the backup means of distribution is unlikely to
supplant the White House system anytime soon.
The key obstacles appear to be not technological but administrative and
financial. The WHCA is wary of the cost of taking over all the managerial
tasks of the pool system from the White House, which does the job with its
own staff at taxpayer expense.
In addition to distributing the pool reports and maintaining an ever-
changing list of recipients, the White House press office has several
staffers who schedule reporters for pool duty, coordinate security
clearances so that they can be in proximity to the president and find
substitutes when there are no-shows.
The correspondents' association would have to hire its own employees to do
those jobs if it wanted to take on the assignment itself. The organization
is considering increasing its membership fees to hire staffers for such
jobs.
The White House declined requests for comment.
Pool reporters rarely break news themselves, but they do provide color and
detail about what the president is doing or saying, or with whom he is
meeting. Journalists rely on such reports to describe scenes they cannot
witness for themselves.
The WHCA said that the White House has more recently been abiding by the
organization's request that press officers send out pool reports without
questioning them, even when the reports contain spelling or factual
errors. The group made the request in June, when Josh Earnest took over as
White House press secretary.
"It's our responsibility as reporters to make sure the reports are
accurate and thorough, and no one should ever assume that the White House
is approving or disapproving of the content in any pool report," Parsons
said.
She said that more people would be added to the Google list after an
evaluation period. The intent, she said, is that "every journalist who
wants information from the print pooler should be able to get it — the
same information as everyone else gets, delivered at the same time."

WE'LL TELL YOU HOW DANGEROUS EBOLA IS AFTER THE ELECTION
October 15, 2014
http://bit.ly/1EZBR0W
There had never been a case of Ebola in the U.S. until a few months ago.
Since then, thousands of people have died of the disease in Africa, and
millions upon millions of dollars have been spent treating Ebola patients
in the U.S. who acquired it there, one of whom has died.
But the Obama administration refuses to impose a travel ban.
This summer, the U.S. government imposed a travel ban on Israel simply to
pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu into accepting a ceasefire agreement.
But we can't put a travel restriction on countries where a contagious
disease is raging.
It's becoming increasingly clear this is just another platform for Obama
to demonstrate that we are citizens of the world. The entire Ebola issue
is being discussed -- by our government, not the United Nations -- as if
Liberians are indistinguishable from Americans, and U.S. taxpayers should
be willing to pay whatever it takes to save them.
Maybe we should give them the vote, too! If Ebola was concentrated in
Finland and Norway -- certainly Israel! -- we'd have had a travel ban on
Day One.
The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom
Frieden, justifies Obama's refusal to prohibit flights originating in
Ebola-plagued countries, saying, "A travel ban is not the right answer.
It's simply not feasible to build a wall -- virtual or real -- around a
community, city or country."
What is it with liberals living in gated communities always telling us
that fences don't work? THAT'S WHAT A QUARANTINE IS.
At the congressional hearing on Ebola last week, Republicans repeatedly
pressed the CDC representative, Dr. Toby Merlin, to explain why Obama
refuses to impose a travel ban.
In about 17 tries, Merlin came up with no plausible answer. Like Frieden,
Merlin kept insisting that "the only way to protect Americans" is to end
the epidemic in Africa.
Why, precisely, must we attack Ebola in Africa? Research on a cure doesn't
require cuddling victims in their huts. Scientists who discovered the AIDS
cocktail didn't spend their nights at Studio 54 in order to "fight the
disease at its source."
Until there's a treatment, we can't put out the disease there, or here.
The only thing Americans will be doing in Liberia is changing the bedpans
of victims, getting infected and bringing Ebola back to America. When
there's a vaccine, we can mail it.
Naturally, Obama is sending troops from the 101st Airborne, the pride of
our Army, to Liberia. Their general should resign in protest.
Merlin further explained the travel ban, saying that if West Africans
can't fly to America, "that would cause the disease to grow in that area
and spill over into other countries." So instead of infecting people in
surrounding countries, our CDC wants them to come here and infect
Americans.
But that won't happen because the government assures us there's nothing to
worry about with Ebola. They've got it under control.
Unfortunately, everything the government says about this disease keeps
being proved untrue -- usually within a matter of days.
They told us that you'd basically have to roll in an infected person's
vomit to catch the disease. Then, nurses at two first-world hospitals in
Spain and the U.S. contracted Ebola from patients.
With no evidence, the CDC simply announced that the nurses were not
following proper "protocol." The disease didn't operate the way CDC said
it would, so the hospitals must be lying.
The government told us that national quarantines won't work, but then they
quarantine everyone with Ebola -- or who has been near someone with Ebola,
such as an entire NBC crew. To me, this suggests that there's some value
in keeping people who have been near Ebola away from people who have not.
Quite obviously, the only way to protect Americans is to prevent Ebola
from coming here in the first place. The problem isn't that Ebola will
leap across oceans to infect Americans; it's that Obama doesn't want to
protect Americans.
At least he's only putting expendable Americans on the frontlines of the
Ebola epidemic -- doctors, nurses, members of the 101st Airborne.
At the moment, more than 13,000 West Africans have travel visas to come to
the U.S. Having just seen an Ebola-infected Liberian get $500,000 worth of
free medical treatment in the U.S., the first thing any African who might
have Ebola should do is get himself to America.
Of all the reasons people have for coming here -- welfare, drug-dealing,
Medicare scams -- "I have Ebola and I'm going to die, otherwise" is surely
one of the strongest. The entire continent of Africa now knows that this
is a country that will happily spend half a million dollars on treating
someone who just arrived -- and then berate itself for not doing enough.
Thomas Eric Duncan's family may be upset with his treatment, but they have
to admit, the price was right. Medical bill: $0.00. Your next statement
will arrive in 30 days.
And now we're going to have to let in entire families with Ebola, because
the important thing is -- actually, I don't know why. It's some technical,
scientific point about fences not working.
Republicans -- Americans -- have got to demand Frieden's resignation. If
only we could demand Obama's.

I have a problem believing almost every fan agrees with that level of

be it Boy Scouts, Fraternities or football. I think it is a Rite of

Our litigious society changed that. Used to schoolteachers could take

That did not have to happen at work if you had hire and fire

Even if they lose I would have to rank Spurrier, Freeze and Mullen
among the top coaches in the country. The jury is out on TAMU - the QB
might have made him look good.
MS has 3 schools that play serious football. Generally speaking only
one of the schools has a decent football team in any year and even
then a great team is rare. Freeze and Mullen have done fine jobs.
Continuity is a problem for small schools.
Cutcliffe has done a good job wherever he has been - Duke has a
football team?
Malzahn is a fine Offensive Coach - you can't count Aubarn out of any
football game.
A coach should not be called great or not so great based on the
Bama/API football game. But that's about the size of it.
Coaches are limited by their success and the game often passes them
by. Paul Brown, Tom Landry and even the Bear are examples. Saban is
learning that what worked so well a few years ago now has a few chinks
in the armor.
