@CraigStein66 As I mentioned, the new front office is far more cautious. People mostly go on DL when prudent. Ike was just screw-up.

I've told all these stories before, by the way. Plenty of them appeared in this NY Daily News story in 2009: bit.ly/xWMDET

Found oldie: Early in Reyes career, Mets wanted him tougher. They had Art Howe tell him "spit on it" to injury. Had undiagnosed fibula break

Thanks for reminding me about Ryan Church flying from Atlanta to Colorado with concussion. He said he felt like boater bobbing on Bering Sea

Still haven't figured out rocket scientist behind having Jose Reyes bat righty vs. RHP after oblique injury. Injury lingered whole 2nd half.

I can keep going, but we'll stop with Putz, Wagner and Schneider stories.

Mets exec calling Billy Wagner a wimp for complaining of elbow discomfort during sim game in Pittsburgh. Wagner needed Tommy John surgery.

Ryan Church says to Brian Schneider, 'Your knee looks swollen. Go see trainer.' Schneider to Church: 'They don't want to hear it.'

Doctors advised J.J. Putz to have bone chips removed from elbow, which would've cost 6 weeks. Mets said shoot him w/ cortisone. He tore UCL.

Ike aside, historically most of Mets medical issues involve disregarding medical advice of team doctors and telling players to be tougher.

One person begged me not to write Ike may have fracture as 2nd test approached. Turned out cartilage damage, not fracture, was missed.

On Ike Davis, Mets and doctors held breath on 2nd/later ankle test, thinking they might've originally missed fracture. (from source at time)

@Chakrabs Virtually everyone involved at the time told me they screwed it up with Ike. They actually were petrified it would come out.

@ebann5 Ike continues to say he'll be fine for spring training--that winter exercise rougher than season. He may always have residual issue.

Sandy Alderson really is a straight shooter, generally, but that's too much spin.

Except for the fact diagnosis of cartilage damage originally was missed and a boot Ike then wore constricted circulation and stalled healing

Sandy Alderson is quoted in Newsday re: Ike Davis as saying: "The treatment was correct and the recovery was just longer than we expected."

COMMON SENSE SAYS....

While we all watched Tebow running across the goal line at around 11:28PM last night, the same thought crossed through every Jets fan's mind "Its over". But before we all cause mayhem jumping off the Verezzano, pause for a second and see what common sense says.

The Jets are 5-5 and are currently 1.5 games out of a wild card spot. With a light schedule ahead with games vs BUF, WAS, KC, PHI, NYG and Miami, common sense says that a 5-1 record is ahead, making the overall record 10-6. IF that were to happen, Jets fans everywhere would probably jump for joy, BUT is that enough to get in?

First team to look at is the one right above you, the Buffalo Bills. If the Jets handle their business in their next game, they would hold the tie breaker. With their remaining games being against MIA, TEN, SD, MIA, DEN, and NE, even if they went 5-1 that would give them a 10-6 record and the Jets would with the head to head tie breaker would rank above them.

Next is the AFC North, with PIT, BAL and CIN so closely bunched together it may seem that the wild card chase is over. Looking at the Steelers first, they are currently 7-3 with games against KC, CIN, CLE, SF, STL, and CLE remaining. If you say they split between SF and CIN, that has them at 5-1 and finish 12-4 with the division title.

With the Steelers out of the WC hunt, next is the Ravens at 6-3. They finish with CIN, SF, CLE, IND, SD, CLE, CIN. In being generous to Cincy I'll say the Ravens split with them and split between SD and SF and go 5-2, making their record 11-5 and a WC spot.

Last in the AFC North is the Bengals who are 6-3 with remaining games against BAL, CLE, PIT, HOU, STL, ARI, BAL. Splitting with the Ravens, losing to the Steelers, winning against CLE, STL, ARI, it seems like it all may come down to their game vs the Texans. With a win they would be 11-5 and surely get the last WC spot. A loss to Houston and they are 10-6 and tied with the Jets.

Three way tie breaker rules apply. First the Jets have the head to head over the Bills so that leaves them against the Bengals. No head to head so it goes to record in conference games. The Jets would be 7-5 in conference and the Bengals would also be 7-5. Next is best record in common games (min. 4). The Bengals would be 3-2 in common games vs Broncos(0-1), Ravens(1-1), Jaguars (1-0) and Bills (1-0). The Jets vs those teams: Broncos (0-1), Ravens (0-1), Jaguars (1-0), Bills (2-0) which is also 3-2. Next tie breaker is strength of victory, since I cannot predict the scores to future games I can only say where it stands now. The Jets are +72 in 5 wins and the Bengals are +62 in 6 wins.

So there you have it. That is a "realistic" look at the Jets chances at making the postseason. Unfortunately the biggest leap I probably took was the Jets going 5-1 in their last 6 games. I know I did not include the Titans or any teams from the AFC West, once they are seen as more realistic I will include them in this discussion.
As of now, maybe every Jets fan should start Tebowing for them to make the playoffs. I guess we'll have the next 10 days to try to convince ourselves that this scenario is a realistic one.

IT250 WEBDESIGN

Looking threw the web i found a couple of websites that can help with webdesign...

The first one is http://www.wpdfd.com/articles/
In it, it describes basically everything that we have gone through and how to apply it to create a good webdesign for your website..reading through all the short posts it shows how through css and other formats a clear and clean web design is simple to make

The other is http://konstruktors.com/blog/design-suggetions/118-web-design-critique-consistency-and-homogeneity-of-blog-layouts/
This one is the better of the two..it shows you examples of what a good webdesign is and how to go about creating a good website...It goes through the website Blogherald.com and how from the use of its icon to how it uses white space to seperate things it uses its web-design very well to get its message across..
It lists 8 things

1. It's Logo
2. The Logo Title
3. The related network links
4. The search bar
5. The main navigation - which we have used in Dreamweaver
6. The section headings
7. The way the post tagline is styled like the rest of the page
8. The post related information and its links

All of these things are part of what makes up a good webdesign for a good website that can get its point and its information across to its user, which is every websites ultimate goal....

ps. from the time he looked at the site till now the blog herald has changed its look but they still remain true...

IT250 OPINION

As i sit here in my chair I am pondering my thoughts about how this IT course has been going. It all started with alot of tags and typing..and identifying which tags go where..which kind of gave me a migraine...FINALLY! this thing called "CSS" came along and was the aspirin for my headache...it organized things in such a good manner..i just pray and hope that CSS doesnt become a mess/headache that the original html was...GO DREAMWEAVER!! WHERE'S FIREWORKS!! I HATE ELEMENT TAGS!!
