The New York Giants jumped out to a 17-0 lead against their NFC East rivals from Washington, and were never threatened as they went on to beat the Redskins by a final score of 23-17. Defensive stalwart Osi Umenyiora returned from a serious knee injury and scored a touchdown on a fumble return, while the Giants offense controlled the ball well and completely dominated the time of possession. The Giants held a lopsided edge of 36:08 to 23:52 in that department, which helped them overcome a couple of turnovers. Eli Manning played well, throwing for 259 yards and a touchdown to counteract one interception.

NFL sports betting enthusiasts who took the Redskins as +5 road underdogs were likely not heartened by the near miss on a backdoor cover. The Redskins scored a touchdown with 1:30 left to get within a ” point of the spread but the Giants still got the cover by the slimmest of margins. The Skins dropped to 13-17 ATS over the past three years with the setback, while New York improved their pointspread mark to an impressive 27-11 against the number. NFL totals players also witnessed a late game change of fortune due to the Skins touchdown, with the 7 points pushing the point total OVER the posted 37. New York evened their O/U record at 19-19 over the past three seasons, while Washington made a dent in their lopsided UNDER biased record. The Skins have gone UNDER in 21 of their last 33 lined contests.

None of the Giants players were as elated with the victory as defensive end Umenyiora. Hed missed the entire 2008 season due to a knee injury, and was happy to be back on the field:

“It was unbelievable and now all that is in the past. I can’t even explain it to you, when something like that is taken away from you. Last year I missed it. I was happy I was able to come back in there.”

His touchdown return came in the second quarter, when he knocked the ball away from Redskins QB Jason Campbell and made a beeline for the endzone:

“To be honest, I don’t know what happened. That’s the way most plays are made. You just go out there and sometimes good things happen. They always get on me about knocking the ball out and not picking it up. When I saw it, I just picked it up.”

Campbell chalked it up to him holding onto the ball too long:

“Osi made a great play on the ball. It’s something you have to understand as a quarterback you have to feel it more or slide up in the pocket.”

Umenyiora affirmed that it couldnt have been a better return to the NFL:

“Not only was it a W, but it was against an NFC East opponent. It was a great game.”

The Redskins will have a great opportunity to cash in their first win of the season this week as they step down in class to host the lowly St. Louis Rams. Theyll continue feasting on the NFLs bottom feeders the following week as they travel to Detroit to play the hapless Lions before returning home for a game against the Tampa Bay Bucs on October 4th. The Giants have another big game on Sunday as they head to Dallas to face the Cowboys in the first regular season game in the new Cowboys Stadium. Theyll remain on the road for the following two weeks, facing Kansas City and Tampa Bay.

The 2009 college football season is already two weeks old and so far its looked almost too easy for defending national champions Florida. That was expected last week, as they destroyed overmatched FCS opponent Charleston Southern 62-3, but it wasn’t much harder today against a better class of opposition. QB Tim Tebow threw for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth as the Gators demolished Troy State 56-6.

Despite a generous head start from the pointspread, Troy State lost against the money as well. Florida covered as -37 home favorites”their third straight ATS cover as a favorite of 31 or more. The Gators also won and covered the last time the two teams met, cashing tickets for college football betting enthusiasts as a -26 favorite in 2007. The 65 points scored just barely made it OVER the generous total of 61. Florida has now gone OVER the total in 18 of their last 26 lined contests.

After the contest, Florida coach Urban Meyer gave most of the praise to a defense that limited Troy to 139 yards of total offense and took the ball away three times (2 fumble recoveries, 1 interception):

“Defense is the name of the game today, and that defense was dominating.

Troy State played tough against Ohio State in 2008, but this time coach Larry Blakney was just glad the game was over:

“We just close our eyes and pretend we never came here. But hopefully since we’ve seen the biggest, seen the best, we will learn from this experience.”

The Gators now turn their attention to their SEC opener next week against Tennessee. As if the rebuilding Vols didnt have enough problems facing the best team in college football next week, they lost to UCLA this weekend 19-15. And to make matters worse, theyve gone and made Florida mad. In the incendiary quote, Kiffin talked about Tennessee tradition as follows:

“I’m really looking forward to embracing some of the great traditions at the University of Tennessee, for instance the Vol Walk, running through the T, singing Rocky Top all night long after we beat Florida next year. It will be a blast.”

So having losing badly in the previous two meetings between the teams, the Vols have managed to make it personal.

After hosting Tennessee next weekend in The Swamp, Florida will hit the SEC road the following week against the University of Kentucky. Theyll be back on the road for a tough contest against LSU on October 10th. Troy State will host UAB next weekend and play at Arkansas State on Saturday, September 26.

The most popular way to communicate with friends, family, colleagues and classmates today is via Facebook. Users communicate through a number of different ways on the social networking site. There’s the instant messenger, also known as Facebook chat, poking, private messages, wall posts and status updates. If you’ve used any of these then you know that sometimes the boundaries of text-based communication can bring along some challenges in conveying the entire message or meaning. Here is where Facebook smileys come in. They can help you to make your intent a little clearer.

As many of us know when it comes to online usage, social networking and e-mail are dominating the attention of US computer users. According to a new Nielsen Company survey 40% of online time is spent on these activities along with video games. The “San Francisco Chronicle” interprets the Nielsen data as Facebook being the key for changing online trends.

With over 500 million users worldwide Facebook allows members to recommend news, videos and other online topics. Research shows that Americans spend just under 23% of their time online on blogs or social networking, which is a 43 percent increase compared to June of last year. It is apparent that more accounts have been opened as the Baby Boomers hop on to the site to reconnect with old friends, family and classmates. What used to be a networking site strictly for college students has now expanded to the corporate world, professionals and adults or kids of all ages.

Not only that, but recent industry research shows that social networking sites reach more women than men. The global report released by comScore, which is a leader in measuring the digital world, states that women spend 30 percent more time on social networking sites than men. Apparently the reach of social networking among women is the highest in Latin America and North American regions. Although women account for 47.9% of total unique visitors to the social networking category they consume 57% of pages, and account for 57% of total minutes spent on these sites.

Something else women probably enjoy doing more than men while on social networking sites like Facebook is chatting, and with that comes the usage of smileys. A lot of ladies enjoy chatting with Facebook smileys. They are so cute and usually accurate; they also say what she cannot always type. Not to mention they’re fun to use. Female Facebook users may be a little more inclined to use a lot of the smileys than men are. Either way these little emoticons say it all. They cover just about any emotion one could think of. They can depict happiness, sadness, anger, confusion, innocence, love-struck, flirty and more.

It is quite normal for organizations these days to have work teams. Over time, it has been proven that organizations are able to better achieve their goals through collaborative effort. To help organizations build better teams, they encourage not only their employees but also their managers to participate in team building activities. However, not all activities are able to deliver the desired results. It helps to know more about the pitfalls of these activities so that we can avoid them and keep them from happening. In this way, we can have more successful activities that help in building better teams.

The most common reason why team building programs and activities fail at delivering desired results is the failure to give sufficient time for planning. It makes a lot of difference to plan well in advance if we were to develop a foolproof program for building better teams. In line with this, we also need to set a realistic budget for the program or activity. One mistake that most organizations do is setting an unrealistic budget while failing to allocate it appropriately.

Another common mistake that organizations have in preparing a team building activity is choosing a place or venue for the program before they have determined the scope or content of their session. They tend to forget that there are some venues that are not meant to accommodate certain activities and when the time comes that adjustments need to be made, they realize it too late.

There are also times when the activity or program is designed to be too specific that there is not enough wiggle room in the agenda. There is also the failure to give more time for sessions when participants are too analytical. In cases such as these, it makes a lot of difference to set a realistic time frame for activities and sessions. In this way, participants can truly get the most they can from the activities or the program.

While it is true that there are lots of pitfalls to team building programs and activities but this does not mean that there is no way to have this kind of program successfully carried out. We simply need to be familiar with these common mistakes so we can make the necessary corrections and adjustments. We also need to have an emergency plan to cover for circumstances that we least expected to take place. In this way, we can find better success in our attempts to build better teams within our organizations.

When my firm goes into a privately held corporation to create strategies for expansion and a solid foundation before initiating the ‘go public’ process the first thing we do is analyze the CEO,CFO and COO professional pedigree and many times the current executives need to step back and allow us to bring in professional ‘C’ level management so that the company can go public, attract investment dollars from accredited and institutional money sources.

To save time we’ll go over the CEO position. This executive will be the public face to the company. They need to remain calm under pressure, respond quickly to critical questions and have a contact portfolio that could choke Godzilla. Within this contact base he/she must be able to create strategic alliances to grow the company’s presence domestically and internationally, take the leadership role to set up pre and post public financial strategies with the CFO and Board of Directors, identify and facilitate acquisitions and mergers to cultivate growth, engage the public via TV, radio and public forums as an industry expert to brand his name, the company name and the trading symbol.

An executive prime for this position will have ample publicity contacts for crisis management and getting the ‘good word’ out about the company’s financial position, new service/product, latest acquisition, newest big contract or distribution source or anything that could trigger trading volume with the stock.

At the end of the day if the company isn’t growing steadily and efficiently and if the company stock isn’t trading at a volume that allows the company to capitalize off of its position, the blame falls on the shoulders of the CEO.

Using the above to initiate the evaluation process of your CEO is a good place to start if you are getting ready to go public or if you are currently public and struggling to grow.
