  1. I respect Jeff Monken as a football coach and a leader of young men. I imagine a lot of folks are embarrassed by what they thought was a unifying slogan that turns out to be anything BUT that. I have followed Army football pretty closely since 2013 and never even noticed the letters on the skull flag. Nobody worth a shit wants their name tied to something so divisive. Do you feel like it was handled correctly? Army football program dropped motto of white supremacist origin Dan MurphyESPN Staff Writer The Army football program removed a slogan from merchandise and a team flag earlier this year after administrators were told that the phrase originated with white supremacist gangs. For the past several years, the Black Knights have taken the field for each game flying a pair of banners: the American flag and a black skull-and-crossbones flag with four letters inscribed on what would be the upper lip of the skull: GFBD. The acronym is shorthand for "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" and has been part of the football program's lexicon since the mid-1990s. West Point officials and members of the athletic department said they were unaware that the phrase links to motorcycle gangs and Aryan Brotherhood sects until that connection was brought to their attention in September. Athletic director Mike Buddie said head football coach Jeff Monken addressed the team in September after learning about the phrase's roots and told them it would immediately be removed from the program. According to Buddie, Monken was "mortified" and planned to use the instance as a "teaching moment" for his players. "It's embarrassing, quite frankly," said Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams, the superintendent of the United States Military Academy. "... We take stuff like this very, very seriously. Once I found out about this goofiness, I asked one of our most senior colonels to investigate." After finding and adopting this flag as a symbol of team camaraderie upon arriving at Army, Black Knights football coach Jeff Monken has since removed a slogan from it after learning that it originated with white supremacist gangs. Dustin Satloff/Getty Images After a two-month investigation, military officials said they determined that the motto was used without knowing its origin, and therefore its use by the team was "benign" and had nothing to do "with the views or beliefs of white supremacist groups or any other disreputable organizations with which they might also be associated," according to an executive summary of the investigation's final report. An expert on far-right hate groups from the Anti-Defamation League said the GFBD phrase -- an omerta used to discourage snitching -- likely started among outlaw biker gangs and was at some point adopted by members of the Aryan Brotherhood. Mark Pitcavage, who earned a doctoral degree in American military history before studying far-right extremism as part of his role with the Anti-Defamation League, said he was not aware of the phrase being used by any military groups in the past or having roots elsewhere. The skull-and-crossbones imagery was first used by Army football players to symbolize "toughness, tenacity, camaraderie and accountability" in the early 1990s and appeared on T-shirts before it was put on the team flag, according to investigators. The GFBD phrase wasn't made part of that symbolism by football players until 1996, according to Buddie. A group of players adopted the phrase after seeing it in the action movie "Stone Cold," starring former NFL linebacker Brian Bosworth. In the film, Bosworth plays a police officer who goes undercover to join a Mississippi biker gang called "The Brotherhood." The fictitious gang prominently displays Confederate and Nazi flags in its clubhouse throughout the movie, and members wear jackets that feature a burning cross and SS lightning bolts. Bosworth's love interest in the movie has a "GFBD" tattoo, and another member of the gang says "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" during a climactic fight scene. Buddie said West Point's investigators spoke to the former cadet who initiated the use of the phrase in the football program, and he told them he did not know of its connection to any white supremacist groups. West Point officials declined to share the name of the former cadet and said it would be redacted in publicly accessible versions of the investigation report. Officials declined to share the name of the colonel who conducted the investigation or make him available for an interview. They also declined requests to speak to Monken and other current members of the football program. Monken, who has been the Black Knights' coach since the 2014 season, told ESPN in August -- before he or any other members of the athletic department say they were aware of the phrase's origin -- that someone on his staff discovered the GFBD flag in an equipment room shortly after their arrival. The flag had not been used by recent teams, but Monken decided to bring it back to try to inspire camaraderie among his players. An upperclassman on the team told ESPN in August that the flag had come to represent the team's mentality in everything they do. "That's become our symbol," he said. "I don't know if you can see it, but it says 'GFBD' over the teeth: God Forgives, Brothers Don't. That's just something we always say, and that's become part of us." Neither the player nor the interviewer was aware of the motto's white supremacy origins at the time. ESPN is choosing not to use his name because West Point officials have declined to make him or any other players available for follow-up questions. When ESPN first asked to learn more about the history of the skull and crossbones -- before discovering the "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" origin -- multiple spokespeople in the athletic department discouraged the inclusion of any mention of the GFBD phrase. One spokesman said he would "sincerely appreciate leaving that out of the story because it is an internal thing." Another athletic department official said in September that he had not heard Monken or any of the team members use the GFBD phrase before. The phrase appeared on several official social media accounts for the team and its staff, on merchandise and on the flag the team carried to the field and displayed in its main meeting room. It was engraved on the inside of rings given to the team for winning the Armed Forces Bowl. When asked why ESPN was discouraged from using the phrase if no one at West Point was aware of its problematic origins, an academy spokesman said the athletic department officials were concerned that any motto that uses the word "God" might be misinterpreted as the military espousing religion and might create problems for an institution that works hard to keep matters of church and state separate. Since dropping the slogan, the academy has updated the process it uses to vet and approve publicly accessible mottos or phrases used by teams and clubs at West Point. According to the executive summary of its investigation, the academy is considering creating a replacement motto for a "new era" of Army football.

  7. https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/se0txg/dog_attack_stopped_with_deadly_force/ Warning Graphic. It shows a dude shooting a few shots into what looks to be a pit bull, or some such. Lots of questions with the first being, is the shooting justified? Second question is, who the fuck goes outside of his house to smoke with a handgun on his belt? There's no context but looks like the shooter walked out front to smoke, dog attacks, and he just happens to have his sidearm ready and waiting. Was he hoping for the dog to attack? Who the fuck sits in his house with his gun on his belt? And the owner never really bothers to check on the dog. He even calls for the dog to get and let's go. Dog is like "Motherfucker, I just got shot 4 times!" Crazy.

  12. Kevin and Chad on the radio today were discussing the choice by Ron Rivera to go for 2 when Carolina scored on Green Bay to make it 24-16. Chad had no idea why they did it and thought it was stupid. He's wrong. It's the right thing to do. If we assume GB doesn't score, Carolina scores another TD as the clock is running out, overtime is a 50/50 win/loss, current nfl average for 2 point conversions is 47.5% and current XP% this year is 93.3%. here's how it works out: Kick XP on first make first, miss second, lose 100% of the time (happens 6.7%) Miss first miss 2pt conversion (52.5%) - lose 100% (happens 93.3% x 52.5% = 49% ) make 2pt conversion (47.5%) go to overtime, lose 50% of the time (happens 44%) So if you kick the first XP you're winning 44% of the time and losing 56% of the time. Go for 2 on first TD Make it (47.5%), now you can kick xp on second and win (47.5% x 93.3% = 44% win) miss xp on second, go to overtime and have a 50/50 chance of winning. (47.5% x 6.7% x 50% = 2% win 2% loss) Miss it (52.5%) make 2 pointer on second TD, go to OT, win 50% (52.5% x 47.5% x 50% = 12% win 12% loss) miss 2 pointer on second TD lose (52.5% * 52.5% = 28% loss) So if you go for 2 you will win 58% of the time and lose 42% of the time And if you need further proof it's the right thing to do, let's look at the game of the century, and what they guy with the name on our stadium decided to do: (from wikipedia)

  16. i'm just sitting here thinking about how TJ Ford used to always say (before we fired rick barnes) that his post-basketball dream was to get his degree from UT so that he could join Coach Barnes's staff at Texas. as if he's not qualified to be a basketball coach right now, but if he can go get some PE and Science credits from UT, *then* he can be eligible to work that job. so, so, so many talented and capable people are literally ineligible to work jobs that they could *master* because they didn't go to/finish college, something that millions of fat, drunken, dumbass retards have done for decades and continue to do. are we ever going to stop following this totally illogical practice, and if so, when?
  17. Televised on Longhorn Network. Look for links in the thread. Usually a good Samaritan or three will throw some links our way for those without LHN. Radio broadcast here: https://texassports.com/sports/2014/11/19/GEN_1119144623.aspx So this is the second year of the throwback games in Gregory Gym, which I think is a wonderful way of breaking up the season for both the fans and the players. Last season it was a student only affair. This year 3500 tickets were sold to the general public, with the rest of the seats reserved for the students. It's also the 2nd season of the Leon Black Classis. Leon Black's wife and son will be in attendance. Chris Beard may be a fantastic basketball coach, but honestly as good as he is in that regard he's at his best when he's extolling the virtues of others - which he does often. It's heartwarming to hear him speak of Coach Black and all he meant to the UT program and the players who played under him. As far as the opponent I'm not going to go into a lot of detail. It should be another cupcake game - and I don't say that in a derogatory way. There's just not much of a point in going into a lot of analysis of an opponent we're going to beat by 20+ points - maybe by a whole lot more than that. They lost to KSU in their season opener in Manhattan 93-59. They also beat Northern Arizona on Tuesday in back to back games for both them and NAU 91-79. They're currently 4-2 on the season, and 0-2 on the road, having also lost to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 97-75 in Corpus Christi. Probably the most interesting thing that has come out of this series is that the UTRGV athletic director held the same position at Arkansas Little Rock when he hired Chris Beard as the head basketball coach. In some ways he rescued Beard from an abusive situation under Billy Gillispie at Texas Tech, with whom Beard had confrontations regarding differing approaches to coaching style. This is a bit of a segue, but don't expect Tarleton State to appear on any UT schedules in the near future. Starting lineup for UTRGV is: Will Johnston PG 6-3 180 11.7ppg 4.2 apg Sherman Brashear 6-5 180 7ppg 3.7rpg Justin Johnson 6-6 185 19.2ppg 3.8rpg Ahren Freeman 6-7 230 6.8ppg 6.3rpg Dima Zidor 6-10 230 12.3ppg 5.5rpg It looks like they have 6 players who can come off the bench, including a 7' Ukrainian (slava Ukraini!) Alex Horiuk. Leading bench scorer is CJ Jackson, 6-7 196 at 6.7ppg. Matt Figger is the head coach in his second season from Eastern Kentucky. Texas beat UTRGV 88-58 last year in a game in which Christian Bishop was the high scorer with 17 points, and Tre Mitchell was the leading rebounder with 5. If you remember, that was the game that Texas only led at half by 46-41 and all of us were wondering what in the heck was going on, then in the second half outscored UTRGV 42-17, including a 33-5 scoring run.
  18. So, classic first-wave-of-heavy metal band and Metallica-influencer Diamond Head went into the studios and re-did their entire Lightning to the Nations album last year. The original was a classic. The re-do is badass. Considering how crappy the recording quality of the original was... I'm in favor of it. Plus, they've had decades to improve their chops.
  19. With a maximum of 3 games left to our season, the new redshirt rules should allow any freshmen who haven’t played yet to keep their redshirt even if they play in the last 3 games. I think there are some freshmen like Brennan Eagles who I’de like to see in a series or two if the opportunity arises. I’m interested to see if players who are redshirting this season see some more playing time in the last few games. Or not.
  20. Welp. That’s not good... Grand Canyon tourists exposed for years to radiation in museum building, safety manager says For nearly two decades at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, tourists, employees, and children on tours passed by three paint buckets stored in the National Park's museum collection building, unaware that they were being exposed to radiation. Although federal officials learned last year that the five-gallon containers were brimming with uranium ore, then removed the radioactive specimens, the park's safety director alleges nothing was done to warn park workers or the public that they might have been exposed to unsafe levels of radiation. In a rogue email sent to all Park Service employees on Feb. 4, Elston "Swede" Stephenson — the safety, health and wellness manager — described the alleged cover-up as "a top management failure" and warned of possible health consequences. "If you were in the Museum Collections Building (2C) between the year 2000 and June 18, 2018, you were 'exposed' to uranium by OSHA's definition," Stephenson wrote. "The radiation readings, at first blush, exceeds (sic) the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's safe limits. … Identifying who was exposed, and your exposure level, gets tricky and is our next important task." In a Feb. 11 email to Acting Interior Secretary David Bernhardt and Deputy Inspector General Mary Kendall, Stephenson said he had repeatedly asked National Park executives to inform the public, only to get stonewalled. "Respectfully, it was not only immoral not to let Our People know," he added, "but I could not longer risk my (health and safety) certification by letting this go any longer." According to Stephenson, the uranium specimens had been in a basement at park headquarters for decades, and were moved to the museum building when it opened, around 2000. One of the buckets was so full that its lid would not close. Stephenson said the containers were stored next to a taxidermy exhibit, where children on tours sometimes stopped for presentations, sitting next to uranium for 30 minutes or more. By his calculation, those children could have received radiation dosages in excess of federal safety standards within three seconds, and adults could have suffered dangerous exposure in less than a half-minute. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission measures radiation contamination in millisieverts per hour or per year. According to Stephenson, close exposures to the uranium buckets could have exposed adults to 400 times the health limit — and children to 4,000 times what is considered safe. Emily Davis, a public affairs specialist at the Grand Canyon, said the Park Service is coordinating an investigation with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Arizona Department of Health Services. Davis stressed that a recent review of the building in question uncovered only background radiation, which is natural in the area and is safe. "There is no current risk to the park employees or public," Davis said. "The building is open. … The information I have is that the rocks were removed, and there's no danger." Davis declined to address Stephenson's assertion that thousands of people may have been exposed to dangerous levels of radiation, or his allegation that the Park Service violated the law by not issuing a public warning. "We do take our public and employee safety and allegations seriously," she said. Clean-up with dish-washing gloves? Reached by phone at the South Rim, Stephenson said his only concern is the safety of everyone who spent time in a danger zone, and he alerted them only after failing for eight months to get park officials to act. "I've never seen anything like this in my life," he said. Stephenson said the uranium threat was discovered in March 2018 by the teenage son of a park employee who happened to be a Geiger counter enthusiast, and brought a device to the museum collection room. Workers immediately moved the buckets to another location in the building, he said, but nothing else was done. A few months later, Stephenson said, he was assisting with a safety audit when employees told him about the uranium. As a former Army helicopter pilot who later worked as a safety manager in the Navy, Stephenson said he knew it was "bad mojo" and instantly called a National Parks specialist in Colorado. Stephenson said specialists apparently had no Geiger counter, so they drove to Utah to pick up a Ludlum meter, which also measures radiation output. The technicians reached the Grand Canyon several days after his call, on June 18. Lacking protective clothing, they purchased dish-washing and gardening gloves, then used a broken mop handle to lift the buckets into a truck, Stephenson said. Those details are corroborated by photographs Stephenson included in a 45-page slideshow created to document the radiation exposure and alleged cover-up. Stephenson said technicians concealed the radiation readings from him and dumped the ore into Orphan Mine, an old uranium dig that is considered a potential Superfund site below the Rim, about two miles from Grand Canyon Village. Stephenson said he drove to Phoenix in November and filed a report with OSHA, which sent inspectors to the museum building in yellow protective suits. Stephenson said they detected a low-level site within the building and traced it to the three buckets, which Park Service technicians had inexplicably returned to the building after dumping their contents. "You could hear their meters going off," Stephenson said. Davis, the Park Service spokeswoman, declined comment on those details. A spokesman for OSHA confirmed an investigation is underway, but declined to provide any other information. A 'secrecy pact'? Stephenson, a military veteran who is certified as an occupational safety and health technician, was in a similar controversy during his time in the Navy. According to court records, he began calling for action to prevent falls after a series of accidents in 2016. As complaints escalated, Stephenson was fired. He turned to the Office of Special Counsel, a federal agency that protects whistleblowers, and his termination was stayed. It is unclear how that case was resolved, but within months, Stephenson had a new job with the National Park Service. Stephenson said the uranium exposure saga developed while he was pursuing a racial-discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity office. Stephenson is African-American. He said high-level officials in the Park Service developed a "secrecy pact" to conceal radiation exposure data despite his insistence that a "Right to Know" law mandates public disclosure. "My first interest is the safety of the workers and the people," he added. Stephenson eventually obtained a report submitted by the Park Service's regional safety manager, confirming the area was "positive for radioactivity above background" and showing high levels near the taxidermy area. The report indicated radiation levels at 13.9 millirems per hour where the buckets were stored, and 800 per hour on contact with the ore. Just five feet from the buckets, there was a zero reading. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says a maximum safe dosage for the public, beyond natural radiation, is no more than 2 millirems per hour, or 100 per year. The report's recommendations did not call for public notification, but suggested guidelines for handling and storing geology samples in the future. Stephenson calculated potential exposures over 1,400 times the NRC's safe level for children, and over 140 times the safe level for adults. He said he pressed park superintendents to take action, submitted an Inspector General complaint, contacted the FBI, and wrote to every member of Congress. In his letter to colleagues, Stephenson apologized for the untimely notice. He stressed that exposure may not be severe depending on how close individuals got to the source, how long they were exposed, what they were wearing, and other factors. He also emphasized that employees will not necessarily suffer health consequences, but should consider receiving a medical screening. "Of particular concern are 1000s of children attending 'shows' in very close proximity to the uranium," he wrote. Those presentations lasted a half hour or more, he said, yet radiation dosages could have exceeded federal safety standards within seconds. Stephenson said he's heard nothing from superiors at the Park Service since he sent the warning letter. "They're in cover-up mode," he said. "I've been cut off from any kind of information."
  21. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-02-12-activision-blizzard-sees-record-year-plans-to-decrease-net-headcount-by-8-percent now, activision is claiming that these are redundant back-office type roles, which is seemingly further meant to minimize the jobs being lost. https://kotaku.com/activisions-ceo-made-28-6-million-last-year-300-times-1825715966 i understand that executives have tough jobs - i deal with many c-level executives in my career. they work very hard, but i'm not sure they work 300x as hard as their producers within the corporation. take a games company like atvi - i have no doubt that many of these people work just as many 60 -80 hour weeks as the executives. probably more, given the intense deadline drive of the business. they also announced that they are going to be hiring a lot more developers. so, once they ramp up production of titles, they'll need to rehire support staffers like those they are laying off. this makes no sense to me. take the salary hit for a couple of consecutive quarters, get creative in how to retain these people and keep them busy, because hiring is fucking expensive, and so is training up new staff. there is no way to reassign some of these folks? i remind you, the company had a RECORD YEAR. but then again, the stock is at ~$43 down from a 52 week high of ~$84, so, i guess that actually succeeding past expectations isn't good enough for shareholder value. to me, this is the biggest issue facing corporate america today. things make no sense. compensation at the worker level as compared to the executive level is extremely out of whack. granted, this is just an anecdotal example, but i see this all the time when i read financial reports. layoffs are a part of working for a corporation, and there's very little that the workers can do about it. meanwhile, those in charge, LEADING the company, continue to see their compensation rise to generational wealth levels. it's upside-down. i don't think it's sustainable.
