Going in-depth on Redskins' Helu

Thursday, June 28, 2012

Thursday's interview with Greg Cosell of NFL Films began with a discussion of Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. Cosell's evaluation of Murray can be accessed at this link. I really wanted to get Cosell's take on a few young tailbacks who might be up and comers. Staying in the NFC East, we transitioned to another second-year runner in Washington's Roy Helu.

I opened by asking for Cosell's overall take on Helu, after watching his rookie-year game tape.

"It's funny that you mention him right after Murray, because I think Roy Helu is a guy who's a little more straight-linish than Murray," Cosell said. "But Helu is a big guy. He's about 220 pounds. I think he fits perfectly -- and I think most of us thought this when we watched him at Nebraska -- most of us thought he'd be a zone runner. A one-cut, downhill runner. And he's in the perfect scheme for that. He has very good burst, and very good speed. And he's a big man, so he's got some natural strength and power."?

Helu was a fourth-round draft pick two Aprils ago. He is not blessed with elite lateral movement skills, as Cosell noted. But Helu possesses a number of traits that may allow him to compensate, particularly in Redskins coach Mike Shanahan's zone-blocking scheme.

"I think that he's a little upright as a runner," Cosell observed. "And I think that will always prevent him from being truly laterally explosive. If he was 20 pounds less, he would not be a good back in this league. But because he's 220 pounds and he has some natural strength, when he cuts downhill he can move the pile a little bit. So, I'm anxious to see him this year."

Helu finished his rookie season with 151 carries for 640 yards (4.24 YPC), and three all-purpose touchdowns, appearing in 15 games and starting five. He also caught 49 balls. While those are pretty good numbers for a first-year tailback, Cosell believes the jury is still out on Helu entering year two.

"Obviously he started and played over the course of last season. Later in the year, he had three consecutive 100-yard games. I think that scheme fits him perfectly. I think when the sample size is as small as it is for Helu, it's tough to tell whether his success resulted from his skill set or from the fact that Shanahan's run game has always produced success for backs. So I'm not certain yet whether I think he is going to be a really good back. Or whether he's Ryan Torain in the sense that he can have some good games and then we'll see where he goes."

Next up: Chargers running back Ryan Mathews.

JOHN MAYER'S 'QUEEN OF CALIFORNIA' VIDEO WAS MADE ENTIRELY IN 'DRAW SOMETHING'

John Mayer's "Queen Of California" video is actually a game of "Draw Something"!

We gave it some thought, and the only thing wrong with John Mayer's otherwise perfect video for his song "Queen Of California" is that we can't see his Adonis-like face. Sure, the "Shadow Days" singer truly needs a haircut, but I'd still totally tap that if it were ever an option. (Too personal?) Other than that though, John's video is letter-perfect. Literally. Because it was made entirely by using "Draw Something."

Watch?John Mayer's "Queen Of California" video after the jump.

We're referring to it as John's video, but actually, he didn't commission it. The entire idea was spearheaded by the team at?Brainbowinc Design, using the?intensely popular and frustratingly addictive app "Draw Something" to create the clip. In case you've still got a Blackberry (seriously?), we'll remind you that "Draw Something" is a back-and-forth game of digital "Pictionary," where one player draws an image and another player guesses. Or in other words, a time waster you can feel good about because it's creative.

In the extremely cool video (We waste HOURS a week on this game! Why don't we think of stuff like this?), we see a vast variety of images that correspond with choice lyrics: a big white ghost, a drum kit, an American flag, and our personal favorite, a bomb-ass portrait of John Mayer rocking his (new) signature cowboy hat. Because John Mayer lives in Montana now and loves to wear cowboy hats. (He could still totally get it though, let's just be honest.)

No. 19 South Carolina at Florida

Published: Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 at 6:12 p.m.

Gatorsports.com counts down the top 25 games in the SEC for the 2012 season.

NO. 19 SOUTH CAROLINA AT FLORIDA

When: Oct. 20

Where: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville

Why it's No. 19: The game has moved up on the schedule and that takes a bit of the edge off it, and the whole Steve Spurrier thing has been played out. But these are still two of the three teams most believe have a shot at winning the East.

Series history: South Carolina has won only six of the 32 games played by the two teams, but three have come under Spurrier, including the last two in a row. Spurrier likes to tell people he went 0-4 against Tebow and 3-0 against the other Gator quarterbacks.

Rivalry on a scale of 1-100: 82. It?s still an intense rivalry and the fact that South Carolina has won two straight makes it huge for Will Muschamp.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Side Effects Can Last For Years [Study]

Prostate Cancer Treatment Side Effects

Prostate cancer treatments have side effects that could be seen (and felt) for years after the treatments are over, according to a new study published in the Journal of Urology.

Market Watch reports that the study found that men who have treatments for prostate cancer have double the chance of needing a urinary incontinence procedure within 15-years after a radical prostatectomy treatment. The risk increases significantly with patient age, radiation after treatment, and low surgeon volume.

Dr. Robert Nam, lead investigator, urological oncologist, and head of the Genitourinary Cancer Care team at Sunnybrook?s Odette Cancer Centre, stated:

?We hope these findings will help patients and their physicians have a more informed discussion about the treatment decision and potential implications for long term impact on quality of life.?

The study included 25,346 men who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer between 1993 and 2006, and was the first long-term study done regarding prostate cancer treatments and their effects on male incontinence.

Reuters reports that of the 25,346 men in the study, more than 500 men with cancer (including cancers caught through regular screening) ended up with bladder control problems and sexual function issues for up to 10 years after their treatment, when compared to those with no cancer diagnosis.

Mass News Media reports that the side effects are significantly better than actually having cancer, the issue is more complicated than that. Prostate cancer is slow-growing, and may never actually reach the point of being fatal. Also, studies have yet to find evidence that PSA tests (used to screen men for prostate cancer) are effective in saving lives.

According to Mass New Media, there are also high rates of false positives, and side effects from the testing as well as treatment, if it is necessary. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force advises against the screening for these reasons. They also note that more than 95% off men affected by prostate cancer had some degree of sexual dysfunction from the treatments, and more than half have urinary issues.

Past studies have had similar results, but the one done by Dr. Nam and his team is the first large-scale study to show the same results of effects by prostate cancer treatments.

King P Morales picks Florida

Thu. June 28, 2012 |

King pitcher Brett Morales announced Wednesday night on Twitter that he has committed to Florida.

"Proud to be a Gator!" the 6-foot-2, 185-pound right-hander wrote. "Thanking God, my family, the people around me, and the opportunity to become a Gator!"

A second-team all-county selection, Morales recorded a 0.99 ERA in 49.1 innings, striking out? 58 batters while walking 14. Out of necessity, he filled in at second base after a teammate was suspended in the middle of the season and he hit .293 with seven doubles, a triple, home run? and 15 RBIs.

Morales recently dazzled scouts at the Perfect Game National Showcase in Minneapolis.

"Already, he shows a fastball in the 90-92 mph range and touched 93," Baseball America's Conor Glassey wrote June 19. "He has an athletic, 6-foot-2, 185-pound build and a loose, effortless delivery. Morales mixes in a very good 78-79 mph circle changeup and a mid-70s 12-6 curveball. He pounded the strike zone with all three of his pitches."

Morales is the third Hillsborough County rising senior to commit to the Gators, joining Durant P/SS Tyler Danish and Plant 1B Pete Alonso.

Facebook changed the email address on your profile, here's how to fix it

1 day

You may have heard (or read) that Facebook just changed your email address without even asking you?? and in a way it did?? but the whole thing's not quite as scary or dramatic as it might sound. And you can easily fix things with a few clicks.

Kashmir Hill of Forbes' Not-So Private Parts blog was among the first?to report on the change.?She labeled the whole thing as "Facebook's lame attempt to force its email service on you."

This all sounds scary! What happened?
You see, what happened is that the email address?? or in some cases, addresses?? displayed on your Facebook profile was changed?from whatever it was to your?Facebook email address. (Your Facebook email address consists of whatever is at the end of your Facebook URL slapped in front of @facebook.com. For example: My Facebook URL is http://facebook.com/rosa, so my Facebook email address is rosa@facebook.com.)

For most people, this is pretty darn annoying as all the mail they receive at the Facebook email address winds up in their regular Facebook inbox. Based on a quick survey of friends and colleagues, it seems that this is inconvenient to a majority, as they prefer to receive their email in?... you know, their actual email inboxes.

Now that you understand the somewhat bad news better, here are two good pieces of news:?Facebook didn't alter the default address on your account, meaning that the social network's whacky system only altered what is visible on your profile. And you can change your profile back to normal pretty easily.

Whew! So how do I fix this?
All you have to do is open up your profile page (hit the "About" button under your personal info), scroll down to the "Contact Info" box, and hit the "Edit" button. There you can toggle who can see which email address and whether it is displayed on your Timeline or not.?

If you're not a fan of receiving your email in your Facebook inbox, I suggest hiding that address and simply making the one you favor visible.

Why did this all happen?
We reached out to Facebook in an attempt to figure out what happened and why the email addresses on people's profiles were suddenly changed. A spokesperson for the social network offered the following response:

As we announced back in April, we?ve been updating addresses on Facebook to make them consistent across our site.

In addition to everyone receiving an address, we?re also rolling out a new setting that gives people the choice to decide which addresses they want to show on their timelines.

Ever since the launch of timeline, people have had the ability to control what posts they want to show or hide on their own timelines, and today we?re extending that to other information they post, starting with the Facebook address.

The spokesperson did not explain why users did not receive any sort of notice when their profiles started displaying a different email address, even though we made sure to ask about that.

Want more tech news, silly puns, or amusing links? You'll get plenty of all three if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts,?or circling her?on?Google+.

European plan tries to convince Germany to do more

(AP) ? Top European officials have called on countries that use the euro to surrender more control over their national budgets, a move apparently aimed at easing Germany's fears of sharing debt burdens with struggling governments like Spain or Italy.

The plan is meant to be a grand vision to save the euro currency from financial disaster and to set up negotiations between leaders at a key European Union summit on Thursday.

Germany, Europe's biggest and strongest economy, is increasingly isolated in its refusal to quickly adopt measures such as jointly issued eurobonds, which would see it take on some of the debt risk of financially weak countries. Some experts say such debt-sharing is what Europe needs to end its crisis as it would help defuse the prospect of unaffordable bailouts for Spain or Italy.

But Germany is worried that such debt-sharing would tempt financially weak countries to spend irresponsibly once again and not reform their economies. Reassuring Berlin that governments would face tough oversight of their budgets would be key to easing Germany's resistance to debt-sharing.

"What is at stake is...the overall confidence in the euro area, and indeed in our commitment to the European project," European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso told reporters in Brussels. "For a genuine economic and monetary union to be established, I think we need a banking union, a fiscal union, and further steps toward a political union."

The plan was was drawn up by the "gang of four" top European officials: Barroso along with Council President Herman Van Rompuy, Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi.

It is doubtful whether eurozone governments will be willing to cede control over their budgets and whether citizens of European countries would accept the idea even if their leaders sign off on the idea.

The plan is to be debated by leaders from around Europe at a summit in Brussels Thursday and Friday that takes place against a backdrop of financial strains that are threatening to shatter the single currency.

On Monday, Spain requested financial help to recapitalize its banking industry, and yields on Spanish and Italian government bonds are rising toward levels that forced the governments of Greece, Portugal and Ireland to seek bailouts. But Spain and Italy are widely considered "too big to bail" ? even for Germany.

The plan proposes a "medium term" move towards eurobonds, as well as creating a banking union with a single authority. This authority, probably the ECB, would have the power to shut insolvent banks and insure deposits, with help from Europe's permanent bailout fund.

Though the plan is similar to those put forward by the International Monetary Fund and French President Francois Hollande, it was not embraced by Germany.

Chancellor Angela Merkel told a meeting of her party Tuesday afternoon that she would not accept full debt-sharing "as long as I live." A lawmaker who was present confirmed the remarks to the Associated Press, on condition of anonymity, but noted that she was referring to a full sharing of all national debts. Her office declined to comment.

Despite her strong words, Merkel has during the course of the European crisis accepted measures she had previously ruled out. She had opposed having a permanent rescue fund for Europe, for example, before then accepting it.

Even if rejecting eurobonds in all but the longest time frame is only a negotiating stance, it is clear that Merkel and her finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble oppose debt-sharing until countries have carried out reforms or credibly committed to do so, and the Eurozone has become better integrated than it is now. It is less clear how they believe the monetary union can survive its current stress to get to that point.

Merkel herself has said the solution to the crisis lies in "more Europe" in the form of better central controls.

Analysts were skeptical that the" gang of four" plan would lead to a concrete plan at the summit.

"Such proposals are just bureaucratic fine-tuning, rather than game-changing policies that will result in debt mutualisation and a banking Union," said analyst Neil MacKinnon of VTB Capital.

"As a result, the EU Summit will likely produce re-hashed plans for closer fiscal integration and a banking union but without any substantive detail of how it will actually be put into practice."

Though many European citizens will be opposed to the idea of surrendering control over their budgets, their governments all agreed to abide by a 3 percent deficit limit when they joined the single currency.

After multiple violations of the limit ? by Germany and France in the early 2000s, by a host of countries in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, and by Greece the whole time ? the 3 percent limit was reaffirmed in a new pact signed in January but not yet ratified. That pact also obliges eurozone countries to submit preliminary budgets to Brussels each year.

The latest plan published Tuesday was short on detail, but appeared to propose an even closer oversight of national budgets: "upper limits on the annual budget balance and on government debt levels of individual member states could be agreed in common," it said. Then, a "euro area level" authority could "require changes" to budgets of countries that stray.

At the end of the report, Van Rompuy volunteered to develop a "specific and time-bound roadmap for the achievement of the genuine economic and monetary union" by December.

Supreme Court Year in Review

I see this as a fairly small but still significant step in expanding the definition of cruel and unusual punishment?the Eighth Amendment standard for declaring a sentence off limits. It?s incremental because two years ago, the court ruled unconstitutional mandatory LWOP for teenagers who commit crimes other than murder. Today, the court simply extended the reasoning of that ruling, Graham v. Florida, to teenage killers. Not surprising, right? Especially since the whole idea behind Graham was that minors are less culpable than adults in part because their brains aren?t fully developed. Once again today, the court relied on the research of Laurence Steinberg at Temple University, whose studies of the adolescent brain have been crucial to this line of cases. Steinberg has found that teenagers tend to have less impulse control and more proclivity for risk, and as Kagan says, these findings mean the court?s decisions rest ?not only on common sense?on ?what any parent knows??but on science and social science as well.?

Sea levels rising on US East Coast faster than anywhere else

The Atlantic Ocean is rising at an annual rate three times faster than the global average since 1990, according to the US Geological Survey.

By Seth Borenstein,?Associated Press / June 25, 2012

In this 2011 photo, a cyclist makes his way past a stranded taxi on a flooded New York City street as Tropical Storm Irene passes through the city. From Cape Hatteras, N.C., to just north of Boston, sea levels are rising much faster than they are around the globe, putting one of the world's most costly coasts in danger of flooding, according to a new study published Sunday.

Sea levels are rising much faster along the U.S. East Coast than they are around the globe, putting one of the world's most costly coasts in danger of flooding, government researchers report.

U.S. Geological Survey scientists call the 600-mile (965-kilometer) swath a "hot spot" for climbing sea levels caused by global warming. Along the region, the Atlantic Ocean is rising at an annual rate three times to four times faster than the global average since 1990, according to the study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

It's not just a faster rate, but at a faster pace, like a car on a highway "jamming on the accelerator," said the study's lead author, Asbury Sallenger Jr., an oceanographer at the agency. He looked at sea levels starting in 1950, and noticed a change beginning in 1990.

Since then, sea levels have gone up globally about 2 inches (5 centimeters). But in Norfolk, Virginia, where officials are scrambling to fight more frequent flooding, sea level has jumped a total of 4.8 inches (12.19 centimeters), the research showed. For Philadelphia, levels went up 3.7 inches (9.4 centimeters), and in New York City, it was 2.8 inches (7.11 centimeters).

Climate change pushes up sea levels by melting ice sheets in Greenland and west Antarctica, and because warmer water expands.

Computer models long have projected higher levels along parts of the East Coast because of changes in ocean currents from global warming, but this is the first study to show that's already happened.

By 2100, scientists and computer models estimate that sea levels globally could rise as much as 3.3 feet (1.01 meters). The accelerated rate along the East Coast could add about 8 inches (20 centimeters) to 11 inches (28 centimeters) more, Sallenger said.

"Where that kind of thing becomes important is during a storm," Sallenger said. That's when it can damage buildings and erode coastlines.

On the West Coast, a National Research Council report released Friday projects an average 3-foot (nearly 1-meter) rise in sea level in California by the year 2100, and 2 feet (0.61 meters) in Oregon and Washington. The land mass north of the San Andreas Fault is expected to rise, offsetting the rising sea level in those two states.
