Sanders a source of inspiration, advice

By Michael Silver, Yahoo! Sports Sep 3, 11:46 am EDT

Two months ago, as he neared the end of his second offseason as an NFL player, Antonio
Cromartie was feeling pretty good about his game. The San Diego Chargers backup
turned Pro Bowl cornerback, complete with a league-leading 10 interceptions in 2007 –
and postseason picks of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady to boot – believed he knew
what it took to reach the top of his profession.

Then Cromartie spent a week in Texas getting critiqued by Deion Sanders, who
deconstructed the game of his fellow Florida State alum. Soon, like Chevy Chase, John
Belushi and the famed “Saturday Night Live” pioneers of the mid-70s, Cromartie
understood he was Not Ready For Prime Time.

“He pointed out a lot of things he’d seen me doing wrong,” Cromartie recalls. “He
basically just focused on my mistakes. He’s a guy who’s just going to tell you how it is.
He’s not going to sugar-coat anything.”

As outstanding as Sanders was during his decorated playing career – he’ll be a first-ballot
Hall of Famer once he’s eligible in 2011 – his influence on football has never been
greater. By serving as a mentor to some of the NFL’s most dynamic players, a group that
also includes Chicago Bears wideout and return man extraordinaire Devin Hester,
Oakland Raiders cornerback DeAngelo Hall and Dallas Cowboys corner/return man
Adam (Don’t Call Me Pacman) Jones, Sanders is attempting to establish a lasting legacy
of, in his words: “players who do things the right way, on and off the field.”

Sanders, 41, isn’t merely another retired player who shows up in a TV studio on Sundays
and talks about the game. In many ways, he still lives it. Whether he’s sending
motivational text messages to his many disciples on Saturday nights, breaking down
game tapes on Monday afternoons or hosting an unofficial Camp Deion – as he did for
Cromartie, Jones, Raiders cornerback Chris Johnson and Bills draft pick Kendrick Cox in
July – Sanders is heavily involved.

“There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t get a call from some (player) about a crisis
or a fire that needs to be put out, or from someone who needs to be encouraged,” Sanders
says. “I do it because that’s my calling. I see these guys improving every day, not only in
football but in life, and it makes me proud.
“That’s who I am. That’s who I’ve always been. I’ve always helped guys. If you want it,
I’ve got it.”

“Neon Deion” was viewed suspiciously by veterans upon entering the league with the
Atlanta Falcons, who drafted him fifth overall in 1989, and his simultaneous run as a
part-time major league baseball player increased many people’s perception that he wasn’t
overly serious about football. One Falcons teammate in particular, veteran cornerback
Bobby Butler, actively mentored Sanders – a gesture that helped push the young player
into the starting lineup at Butler’s expense. Sanders was so touched that he promised
himself he would always make himself available to do the same and went about acquiring
a vast base of knowledge he credits for much of his success.

Probably the best coverage cornerback ever, Sanders won a pair of Super Bowls (for the
49ers in ‘94 and the Cowboys in ‘95), earned eight Pro Bowl invitations, intercepted 53
passes and scored 22 touchdowns in five different ways – kickoff, punt, interception and
fumble returns and as a receiver. He also ran for a postseason touchdown.

The fact that many of Prime Time’s memorable runs included ostentatious high-stepping
and other overtones of showboating obscured the careful attention to his craft that made
such antics possible. “What was behind the flash was never reported,” Sanders says, “so
people didn’t know what it took to get to that level. I was always working on my game.
The flamboyance came after the substance.”

After the week Cromartie spent with Sanders this past July, the third-year corner began to
understand. Camp Deion included two-a-day practice sessions focusing on technique and
other fundamentals and numerous film sessions during which Sanders broke down game
tapes of each player and highlighted the areas in which improvement was needed.

“Ask (Cromartie) and Adam,” Sanders says. “I let it rip. I don’t pacify ‘em. I pick their
games apart. In (Cromartie’s) case, it was things like, ‘You’re too high (in your stance).
You’re not looking at the down or distance; you don’t even know what’s going on out
there. You’re just coasting on ability.’ I don’t want ‘em to just play the game. I want ‘em
to know the game.”

Cromartie recalls that Sanders introduced him to the concept of “playing mind games
with the quarterback and receivers. You never want to show the same thing out there. You
keep ‘em guessing. When you’re messing with the quarterback, it makes the game a
whole lot easier and that much more fun.”

Another Sanders tenet: Don’t just study receivers; learn about the offensive coordinators
you’ll face and the offensive philosophies they espouse.

“I encourage these guys to keep files on everyone, especially coordinators,” Sanders says.
“Receivers will come and go, but Norv Turner’s going to be in the league till kingdom
come. I say, ‘Think about the West Coast Offense – so many teams run it, so let’s start
knowing this system.’ ”
Cromartie is among the many players who were approached by Sanders long before they
became NFL stars. Sanders reached out to Cromartie after the young corner suffered a
serious knee injury heading into what would have been his junior season at Florida State
and unsuccessfully tried to convince him not to declare for the following spring’s NFL
draft. Sanders made a point of meeting Hester, then a University of Miami cornerback,
after reading that he was one of Hester’s idols. He introduced himself to Hall, a Virginia
Tech cornerback and talented return man whose abilities caught Sanders’ eye; the two
became even closer after the Falcons selected Hall in the first round of the ‘04 draft and
he wore No. 21 to honor Sanders.

Two years ago, as it looked like Hall was on the verge of becoming a superstar, the young
cornerback was brutalized by Steelers wideout Hines Ward (eight catches, 171 yards,
three touchdowns) in an October game at the Georgia Dome. Sanders, watching from a
TV studio in Los Angeles, could barely hide his disgust. “He’s getting his butt kicked,”
Sanders said. “This kid has so much talent, but I don’t think he knows how good he can
be, or what being the best entails. I can’t wait to call him tonight and tell him what I see.
I’ll say, ‘There’s nobody on that team that can run by you, so why are you playing off?
You’ve got to play to your strengths.’ ”

Of all the players with whom Sanders has shared his wisdom – and the lengthy list
includes Bengals wideout Chad Johnson, Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, newly
signed Patriots cornerback Deltha O’Neal, Browns wideout Donte’ Stallworth, Browns
halfback Jamal Lewis and Vikings running back Chester Taylor – the one currently
receiving the most attention is Dallas’ new cornerback. Jones, recently reinstated by NFL
commissioner Roger Goodell after a season-long suspension for violating the league’s
personal conduct policy, has grown especially close to Sanders since being traded to the
Cowboys in April. The two live about a block from one another in Prosper, Texas, and
Sanders says, “Pacman is not like a friend to me. Adam is like a son to me.”

Jones, whom the Cowboys did not make available for a one-on-one interview, recently
asked that reporters no longer refer to him by his Pacman moniker. Sanders says the two
of them “talked” about the name issue before Jones made his request.

“Six-and-a-half days a week, I see Adam,” Sanders says. “Every now and then, I see
Pacman. I’m trying to see more Adam and less Pacman.”

Also a talented return man with the potential to play some wideout for the Cowboys,
Jones caught Sanders’ attention long before the trade, when he was the regular recipient
of police questioning while with the Titans. “I saw an arrow pointed in the wrong
direction,” Sanders said. “That was it. And if I could help to re-aim him and refocus him,
I was going to try.”

Sanders lectures his many protégés on parenthood, professionalism and the importance of
family with the knowledge that he, too, was far from perfect during his playing days.
Though not engaged in criminal activity, Sanders had a messy divorce from his first wife,
Carolyn, in 1996. He has since remarried Pilar Biggers; the two were recently featured on
an Oxygen reality show, “Deion and Pilar: Prime Time Love.”

“It’s hard to give a guy millions and expect him to mature,” Sanders says. “Money makes
you think you’re more than who you are. There’s a scripture that says, ‘When I was a
child … I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things.’ It
took me until I was the age of 30 before I put away these things. How can I be critical of
these guys?”

Sanders has also made a point of connecting with players in high school or college in an
effort to prepare them for the challenges of a possible pro career. He counseled current
West Virginia running back Noel Devine, who starred at Sanders’ alma mater, North Ft.
Myers High School, during the college recruiting process. At one point, Sanders
attempted to become the legal guardian for Devine, who lost both parents to
complications from AIDS by the age of 11, and the running back spent a few weeks
living in Sanders’ house in Texas.

On a less personal note, Sanders has turned his mentoring skills into a side business. His
“Prime U” training program, designed to get draft prospects prepared for the NFL
scouting combine – Sanders plans to extend it to groom high school juniors for collegiate
competition – features a program far more formal than that of “Camp Deion” and charges
participants a five-figure fee for the privilege.

But the man who once released a somewhat popular rap single called “Must Be The
Money” says that, when it comes to mentoring established players like Cromartie, Jones,
Hester and Hall, making a buck isn’t part of his motivation.

“I don’t need anything from these guys,” he says. “God has blessed me, man. I’m not
looking for a handout; I’m trying to give them a hand up. One day, I’d love for them to
pay it back and take some young guys under their wing.”

Cromartie, now known as “Crime Time” because Chargers teammate Cletis Gordon
decided the interception hawk was robbing opposing quarterbacks who fail to see him
lurking (Hester’s Bears teammates have dubbed him “Anytime” because he is a constant
threat to score), is already on board with Sanders’ request.

“Oh, definitely, I’d like to pass it on,” he says. “I’m helping out young guys on my team
as we speak, and I plan to continue doing that for a long, long time.”

He may not be ready for Prime Time, but the kid is getting there – and his mentor
couldn’t be prouder.
Continent-Wide Telescope Brings Galactic
Black Hole into Focus
Gains in resolution may provide proof of black hole's existence

September 3, 2008

By JR Minkel

Researchers are closing in on ironclad evidence for the black hole believed to
lurk at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

Astronomers used a "virtual" telescope spanning more than 2,800 miles (4,500
km) to home in on Sagittarius A* ("A-star"), the light source believed to mark the
location of a black hole four million times as massive as the sun.

They were able to resolve Sagittarius A* to within 37 microarcseconds, the width

of a baseball on the moon as seen from Earth. Based on the size of the light-
emitting region, they believe it is offset from the exact location of the black hole,
which pulls gas and dust into a disk swirling around it that gives off light.

Instead, they speculate that Sagittarius A* is either high-speed gas on one side
of the rotating accretion disk or a jet of matter being ejected from around the
black hole.

The case for a black hole was already "pretty solid," says study author Shepherd
Doeleman, an astrophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's
Haystack Observatory. "We're now able to get information that is really on the
same size scale as where we think all the action is happening in the galactic
black hole."

Prior observations of the presumed black hole were obscured by surrounding gas
and dust that reflect longer wavelength radio waves.

To pierce the haze, Doeleman and his colleagues used special equipment to link
up four radio telescopes—one each in Arizona and California and two in Hawaii
—in a technique called very long baseline interferometry. The resolving power of
such a virtual telescope grows with the size of the telescope array. The joint
telescopes allowed them to scan radio signals as short as 0.05 inch (1.3
millimeters) in wavelength, in the microwave range, capable of penetrating the
cloud.
The researchers found that Sagittarius A* measured about 30 million miles (50
million kilometers) across, or one third the average distance between the sun and
Earth. Researchers would like to observe light coming from around the black hole
event horizon—the boundary past which not even light can escape the
concentrated pull of gravity.

Distortion of space and time around the event horizon is believed to make the
event horizon appear larger than its true diameter and—in this case—larger than
the features the group resolved, Doeleman says. He says the group hopes to
increase the power of the telescope array even more to look for a predicted
"shadow" in front of the black hole, which would provide concrete proof of its
existence.

Another coup would be measuring the black hole's rate of spin, its other basic
property besides mass and something that researchers have never observed
directly before either. It's exciting, Doeleman says, that "now we can start asking
these questions."
Baju Melayu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baju Melayu is a traditional Malay outfit for men. It literally translates as 'Malay shirt'
and consists of two main parts. The first being the baju (long sleeved shirt) itself which
has a raised stiff collar known as the cekak musang collar (literally fox's lease). The
second part is the trousers. The two parts are made out of the same type of fabric which is
usually silk, cotton, or a mixture of polyester and cotton. A skirt-type adornment is also
commonly worn with the Baju Melayu, which is either the "kain samping", made out of
songket cloth or the kain sarung, made out of cotton or a polyester mix. Both are loops of
fabric which are folded around the wearer's waist. A jet-black or dark coloured headgear
called the songkok can also worn to complete the attire.

In shirts made with the cekak musang collar, the placket of the baju will seem to form a
third of the baju from the top when it is worn beneath the kain samping or kain sarung.
However, the hem line of the baju actually runs to the middle of the lap. The placket
typically has three to four buttonholes and is fastened together by dress studs called
kancing which are not unlike those used in Western-style formal dress shirts. The studs
usually have screw-in backs and can be made from a variety of materials including gold,
silver and precious or semi-precious stones. The studs may also be connected with a light
metal chain which will be concealed behind the shirt when the placket is fastened.

In the state of Johor, both the design and the wearing of Baju Melayu is somewhat
different to that of other areas. Here, the kain samping or kain sarung is worn below the
baju rather than above it. The baju itself does not have the cekak musang collar or any
placket. Instead, the opening is hemmed with stiff stitching called tulang belut (literally
eel's spine) and ends with a small loop at the top of one side to fit a singular kancing
(similar to the collars of Baju Kurung worn by women). This style is known as the Teluk
Belanga style and is said to be designed by Sultan Abu Bakar himself as a remembrance
of the move of Johor's administrative capital from Teluk Belanga in Singapore to Tanjung
Puteri in 1866 (today it is known as Johor Bahru).[1]

A black Baju Melayu with a black kain samping embroidered with gold thread is
considered a form of formal dress, and is the official attire required during official
national events, especially highly formal ones like the official celebration of the Yang di-
Pertuan Agong's birthday. Malaysian ambassadors presenting their credentials to foreign
heads of state are also required to wear the black Baju Melayu. The white Baju Melayu is
worn by Malaysian royalty when mourning the passing away of a member of the royal
family.
The Baju Melayu is commonly worn in Malaysia and Singapore by Malay men, although
its use in Singapore is usually restricted to Fridays at mosques, and the Eid ul-Fitr (Hari
Raya) holiday. Malaysian men usually wear the shirt for general religious occasions, such
as visiting the mosque or for a religious gathering. Some companies allow their male
workers to wear Baju Melayu on Fridays, whereas others have it as a policy. On the
whole Singaporeans frequently refer to it as a Baju Kurung, although this term in
Malaysia usually refers only to the corresponding outfit for women.

In Indonesia, both the Baju Melayu in both collar styles (and other Malay clothes such as
Baju Kurung) is popular in provinces with large Malay populations such as Riau, the
Riau Islands, West Kalimantan and a few other provinces. Recently, the Baju Melayu has
become more popular and is not only worn at traditional events, but also in formal
occasions. Government officers wear them proudly during official events (even national
events). It is also worn as a uniform in Silat.

The female version of the baju melayu is called the baju kurung.
