GREENSBORO, N.C. — Two years ago, the media asked…and asked…Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson if his option offense would work in a BCS conference.
He laughed it off nine times: the Yellow Jackets went 9-4 and tied for the Coastal Division lead.
Last year, the media asked…and asked…Johnson if teams would now be able to catch up to his option offense after having seen it the year before.
His response: people have seen it for more than 20 years and it's worked fine. The Yellow Jackets went on to win the ACC.
This year, the only question Johnson was asked about his offense was what's going to be the media's hook.
""Y'all will have to come up with something else," Johnson said with a smile.
It would seem hard to top the 11wins, 33.8 points and 422.1 yards per game that Tech averaged last season.
If any of the players or coaches in the conference doubted the spread-based option in the past, they were saying all the right things at the ACC's media days.
Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe, who said he always thought the offense would work, said Johnson may be the best ever at orchestrating the attack.
Even though the team lost B-back Jonathan Dwyer, the ACC player's of the year in 2008, and Demaryius Thomas, who was the first wide receiver taken in the NFL draft this year, Grobe said the Yellow Jackets won't slow down in year 3. The teams will play Oct. 2 in Winston-Salem.
"The personnel doesn't matter, it's the scheme that gets you," Grobe said. "No matter what coaches know about stopping it, you can't give everything you know to the players."
The Deacons had some success against the Yellow Jackets last year. Despite giving up 463 yards, Wake forced Tech to overtime, where the Jackets won 30-27.
Grobe said that's the perfect example of the difficulty in facing such a unique offense.
"We still weren't good enough," he said. "We had schemes that helped us, but we weren't good enough. Let me put it this way: if you don't have a good scheme, you'll get blown out. If you have a good scheme, you might be competitive.
"They're just a machine."
At last year's media day, former Virginia Tech safety Kam Chancellor said he thought he picked up something while watching film that tipped off what quarterback Joshua Nesbitt was going to do on each play. The Jackets rolled up 360 yards in offense and defeated the Hokies 28-23 at Bobby Dodd Stadium. This year, defensive end John Graves said he had nothing but respect for the what Yellow Jackets did last year, and what they could do this year. The teams will play Nov. 4 in Blacksburg.
"It's a crazy offense that gets more difficult every year," he said. "They won the ACC last year. Coach Johnson, he's going to have another year with all those great athletes."
Those great athletes are what Duke coach David Cutcliffe will keep fueling the spread-option armada, which he said is the same for almost any offense. Tech posted 519 yards in a 49-10 win last year. They will play Nov. 20 this season at Bobby Dodd.
"There's no offense with magic," he said. "No magic dust with a pro-style offense, or a spread or a wishbone. They are all sound.
"Georgia Tech will continue to have success as long as he continues to recruit good players."
Johnson was coy when asked what he expects from his offense this year. He said he thinks the offensive line will play better, the B-backs and wide receivers are deeper and that Nesbitt has another year under his belt. The combination should make the offense better.
But as he's fond of saying, he added, "we could play better but not win as many games."
Clemson safety DeAndre McDaniel faced Johnson and the offense twice last season, losing both times, including in the ACC championship game. His Tigers will get to host the Jackets on Oct. 23. He doesn't expect to see anything different than what he saw last season, when the Jackets rolled up close to 900 yards.
"Paul Johnson is a great coach," he said. "He walks around without a playbook. That's his offense."

its funny, one coach says its the scheme not the personnel (Grobe), the other says there is no magic dust its all in the personnel (Cutcliffe). Talk about confusion on what it is, how it works, all they both know is they lose.

One thing Willard Martini did right was shut the perfect option down in 2009, thanks to great play by Reshad Jones coupled with 339 rushing yards from Caleb King and Washaun Ealey.

I think the Jackets will be in the thick of it.The running game is the bread and butter, dont see that dropping off. If the defense is there(should be the biggest concern and must improve) and a little better passing game, big things and Johnson is still a genius.
If not….then its FSU or Miami win the crown.

Well this GT alum still wishes he would develop better pass-blocking and a better passing game.
The last 2 bowl games show what a big Dline, talented defense with time to prepare can do to this one-sided offense. You need a competant passing game to go all the way, and GT has not had it last 2 years and I would be surprised if they do this year. The just throw it up and let Thomas come down with it option is not available now. Can our QB read defenses and throw accurately? I doubt it, particularly not the way this offense gets his shoulders and arms so beat up every play.
July 27th, 2010
9:45 am
Al Benny, Imagine what he is going to do with all the 5 and 4 star athletes that are going to sign with Tech, We have no less than 16 considering Tech this year, I would say we end up with at least 5. Next year we could end up with 10 or more. Stay tuned GT fans this machine is just starting to roll and pick up speed, the best is still to come.
July 27th, 2010
9:48 am
Yeah, 3021, your 4 and 5 star recruits shut down our 3 and 4 star recruits pretty good. Congrats. We still averaged over 5 yards per play, and had a chance to win on the last drive of the game if not for an unfortunate drop by the WR picked first in this year's NFL draft that would have given us a first down inside your 35. Our run defense let us down in that game unfortunately, but you beat us no doubt. You better be sure that you mutts have your chinstrap on tight cuz its payback time. Should be a good contest come Nov 27.
July 27th, 2010

THIRTY POINTS TO…: High point of your guys season. Congrats.

WOW, almost another season is here, I say to myself, whats going on with the recruits (GT is not getting the cream of the crop) well I am ashamed of myself, Paul Johnson is going on this 3red season and all he has done is win and put up great stats, now I am happy with what we got, I am a huge GT fan, most of my family are Bulldog fans, I trip when I see 4 and 5 stars sign with Bama, Auburn, Florida, UGA, Tennessee and Clemson, but I must admit we keep on winning, thats because of Paul Johnson, Thank you Coach Johnson for being straight and true. Kids don't realize how important it is to get a great education and play for a clean program, the title Student Athlete is really what it all means, lost in all of this is the gliz and glamor of the pretty schools. Paul Johnson, keep doing what u r doing and before anybody realize we will have National Championship and maybe , just maybe some of those 4 and 5 stars kids who want a great education and a wonderful coach will come to TECH.
July 27th, 2010
10:14 am
I actually feel sorry for the Dawgs in November. Paul Johnson will torch them to the tune of 50+ points this year. You heard it here first. ( We will hang A half Dollar or more on the mutts sorry defense )
July 27th, 2010
10:23 am
PJ is going to have to establish more of a passing threat to get to elite status. Also, as we learned against Miami, Georgia and Iowa, the offensive and defensive lines have to improve. It's that simple.
July 27th, 2010
10:30 am
Glad you mentioned Kam Chancellor. That guy shot off his mouth and ended up looking like a punk as he got embarrassed all day…I hope we take it to VPISU again; their coaching staff is once again acting acting like a bunch of babies trying to make cut blocking illegal.
Funny how they didn't complain about it in 2008 when they beat us, right?
July 27th, 2010
10:31 am
Even if offense falls off 8 points (33 point to 25) a game that's still a pretty good offense.
Key is defense, will Groh make the difference, schedule is a lot harder this year, Clemson, UNC, Va Tech, UGA on the road.
I agree with CPJ, If team is the same as last year, record may not be as good. Tech will have to be a dominating team to win Coastal.
July 27th, 2010
10:32 am
The scheme itself is not magic. The key is the guy calling the plays and making the adjustments.
Paul Johnson has proven to be a master strategist by making excellent adjustments…he has done more with less than any other coach in the country over the last two seasons.
As our lines get better, we won't struggle as much against opposing teams with dominant lines.

It isn't accurate to invision what CPJ could do with UGA athletes. The systems recruit to meet their needs. His abilities with his recruits, or the Gailey recruits for that matter, is without question. Personnell needs for his option are totally different than our needs for the pro set or I. He has that option down to a fine art, and any second guessing based upon other schools personnell is irrellavent. Good luck until November. Go dawgs.

GT will roll to another 10 win season…9 at the worst. Our road schedule is very tough but PJ will win some he was not supposed too. We should go undefeated at home…Miami and NC State could put scares in us but I think we handle them.
July 27th, 2010
11:56 am
what is different about this year's conference compared to last year, the opponents aren't saying they have it (gt offense) figured out. They are keeping quiet.
to the dog poops, you are given two mulligans, bamaless and lsuless and you still won't get it done. But just keeping your kids out of jail and findihg an AD who isn't weaving all over the road with red panties between his legs would be a step up.
July 27th, 2010
12:13 pm
The triple option didn't go away because it didn't work, it went away when the scholarships dropped and Oklahoma, Texas and a few others couldn't get enough quality athletes to make it work. Remember there were multiple National Championships using the triple option, and if you have enough athletes, you can win with it now. Florida was running something similar to the triple when they won two National Championships, and given another Tebow type, they may win more. However, most triple option coaches don't understand the necessity to also throw and having more than one QB to run it. If you beat up a QB all game, then late in the game the throwing becomes erratic and we saw that last year. PJohnson needs two to avoid that mistake again.
July 27th, 2010
12:16 pm
Its funny how fast people forget the domination by Nebraska during the mid 1990s…they ran the option. They lost 7 straight bowl games and everyone thought the same thing as Nebraska dominated the big 8 but failed to win in the post season…starting in 1995 they won 3 out of the next 4 national championships. The rhetoric spread by people is quite funny….I would like to know what Osbourne thinks about PJ's offense.

I really want to see Nesbitt have a huge year. The kid deserves some serious protection from the o-line so he can show that he can pass the ball. Looking forward to Sept. and would like to see good ole fashion hate with two undefeated teams.
July 27th, 2010

Wow, not very many participants on this blog…hmm. Just thought I'd come over to see what kind of activity takes place on the Jackets blogs. GO DAWGS!!!
July 27th, 2010
12:35 pm
I wish Nesbitt wouldn't throw a single pass this year. Tech would be better off. They'll win, but win ugly. No blowouts, even with an improved defense.
And this is at least the third straight year Tech has changed jersey styles. Each time they've gotten uglier and uglier. The new ones for this year are the worst. Russell Athletics doesn't have a clue.
July 27th, 2010
12:37 pm
I just worry a lil about the Clemson, VT, and Miami game strech. Will be fun to watch Nesbitt throw the ball more this year.
July 27th, 2010
12:41 pm
The offense will do what it always does. Run over people. Its not going to get any easier to stop with CPJ calling the plays. Then at some point we will have a moderately bad game where we only get 200 yards and 14 points and all of the haters will claim that the offense doesnt work.
July 27th, 2010
12:42 pm
"Coach, whats your assessment of Dabo?"
"Dont know much. Just hate when I get it stuck on the bottom of my shoe."
July 27th, 2010
12:43 pm
Im gonna take a step outside the box..yes CPJ is definitely a HOF coach and probably the best at the spread option and clutch playcalling but for me it all goes back to the QB. CPJ does everything up to when the ball is snapped..then its up to Nesbitt to read the D..make a split second decision on the dive up the middle..if he keeps it then there's another split second decision on whether to run it or pitch to the back! Those decisions dictate the game in my book! side note: Im not sure how many remember the first snap of the Iowa game…Dwyer was off to the end zone without one person touching him..called back for illegal motion or some crap..or loss came down to that play so we need the entire O-line clicking on all cylinders every game because there is alot of movement in our set-up!!
July 27th, 2010
12:45 pm
"Uh, Coach Johnson, another question, sir.
When you travel to Athens, what do you think of Sanford."

July 27th, 2010
1:02 pm
i emailed the athletic dept and this is what they had to say about the uni's :
Thank you for the email. Our contract with Russell is for 8 more seasons and this years uniform provides only a minor change from previous versions. I will be sure to pass along your comments regarding the uniforms and your suggestion to settle on a style. I am glad you liked last years uniforms, they had a good style to them as did the uniforms in the Orange bowl. I can assure you these were not just decided on a month before the season….they were just shown publicly at this time.
July 27th, 2010
1:03 pm
basically they dont know what theyre doing
July 27th, 2010
1:18 pm
The offense will do what it has done as long as Paul Johnson is the coach. IT IS THE DEFENSE THAT WILL CONSISTENTLY WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!
I know Coach Groh won't likely be there 5 years from now but I expect Coach Johnson will. I also expect Groh to teach, teach, teach, the 3-4 defense and mentor the next guy and get Tech's defense to elite status.
July 27th, 2010
1:22 pm
pls give me the email address to the athletic dept – I am going to send an email once a week and request that they end that contract earlier
I would personally commit to purchasing 5 GT football and baseball jerseys if GT would sign with a Nike/Reebok/Adidas.
I know there is a licensing issue, but my goodness, do we really want Russell representing the GT brand as we are on the national stage?
July 27th, 2010

one game at a time
July 27th, 2010
1:33 pm
No way GT's offense does what it did last year. You guys seem to forget that the rules have changed this year regarding Scum Johnson's cheap and dirty chop blocks. In fact, for referee training, they have almost exclusively watched GT's games from the last two years. In talking to an ACC ref I personally know, he estimated that 1 of every 5 snaps GT's offense took last year would be a 15 yard penalty this year. I'd say it's safe to say that GT is going to be in a world of hurt this year. Hell, you bees might be wishing to see chan gailey back in ATL.
July 27th, 2010

Is there a link for seeing the new uni's?

tell Beamer to get off this blog
July 27th, 2010
1:36 pm
sucks, I'm sure you are personal friends with an ACC ref….just like I am personal friends with Angelina Jolie. As far as the blocks go, there is a BIG BIG difference between a CUT block, which is what Tech legally does, and a CHOP block, which is illegal. You and your imaginary friend need to read the rule books. Don't you think that after 20+ years of running this offense, that both CPJ AND the officials have learned what's right and what's wrong?
July 27th, 2010

The GT QB (forget his name) has a bad ankle? Right ? Any news on his status ?

Video posted online shows an unmanned drone buzzing a French police car in the streets of Paris.
The video posted by Team Black Sheep, a group that specializes in recording unmanned aerial flights, shows the unmanned craft landing on top of a box truck and stopping near a crowd gathered on a street corner.
When a French police car is spotted, the craft hovers close by and trails it as it drives down the street.
In the video, the police car appears to stop in order to investigate the craft. The drone then makes a high speed exit and lands on the roof of a building nearby.
It is unclear if police are investigating the incident.

I started juicing about a week ago to get more vegetable juice in our diet since I don't feel like I eat enough vegetables. No, I won't eat them raw and neither will DH so I thought this was better than nothing
However, now I read that juices promote detoxing and that you shouldn't be juicing while breastfeeding. None of it was from a credible sources though. So... I am not sure whether or not to continue with it?? I don't do it as meal replacements, rather an addition to my breakfasts. A sample juice would be made from 3 carrots, 1 apple, 1 beet and would be shared between DH and I. I don't feel like that's an unreasonable amount of vegetables if I were to eat them rather than juice them but who knows??
Has anyone heard about juicing and breastfeeding?

Yearly Harvest Request? Good Weather
Missouri's cotton producers are ready to get this crop out of the field. However, they will need to wait longer than usual. According to the Crop Progress and Condition Report for the week ending Sept. 15, cotton opening bolls were 10 percent complete, 33 days behind last year and 24 days behind normal. Cotton condition was three percent very poor, 15 percent poor, 34 percent fair, 46 percent good and two percent excellent.
While we do have a late crop, there is still hope for a decent yield. I was astounded with the USDA projection of 1,103 pounds per acre last month in the Cotton and Wool Outlook, but it has been lowered to 1,063 pounds this month. The extended rainy conditions in July and August resulted in bloom and boll losses, but with the weather conditions for the last three weeks, we do have an opportunity to add bolls to the top crop.
Delayed planting, cooler weather, plant bugs, resistant weeds and cloudy, rainy conditions have helped to define this year's crop.
Louisiana couldn't ask for better harvest weather. Conditions were hot and dry throughout much of the state, and defoliation was going on without a hitch. The unseasonably high temperatures in September generated the needed heat units to mature the bulk of our late-planted cotton and finish us up.
Picking is well underway, and so far yields were higher than expected across much of our dryland and irrigated acreage. I'm not keeping my fingers crossed, but I think there is an outside shot that we may break the state's record for pounds per acre this year. I think this reflects good growing conditions in 2013 along with a reduction in acres where a vast majority of our acres remaining are concentrated in historically higher yielding parishes.
Additionally, although pests were common, they weren't overbearing, and our producers did an excellent job staying on top of things. Early season thrips caused some difficulties, but bollworms weren't particularly bad, and plant bugs were manageable. Spider mites were a persistent problem, but control efforts were mostly successful.
My crystal ball seems to get foggier every year so my prognostications to where cotton will be in Louisiana in the future aren't necessarily reliable. However, if cotton prices will correct themselves in the near future, I expect Louisiana's cotton acreage to at least hold steady and maybe increase in 2014, but a lot of that hinges on grain prices as well.
As we near harvest, many producers still do not know what to expect from their crops. Much of the cotton was delayed in planting due to dry weather early and then wet weather later on. There was some cotton planted after small grain, which had a delay due to rains.
Nitrogen applications were often not applied timely as well as weed control due to wet conditions. Many fields have cotton in several different stages of growth, which makes it hard to determine when to defoliate. However, as we get closer to harvest, many of these fields look pretty uniform and should be fairly easy to defoliate. The greenest parts of the fields should be checked when making the defoliation decisions, and if they are close to needing defoliation and the remainder of the field is above 60 percent open with a good boll set, the decision should be made to defoliate and then should be picked timely.
Much data shows that you can lose 50 pounds of lint per week from rains and high winds after cotton is 80 percent or more open. Peanuts are typically harvested first in the Southeast, but more profit can be made if both crops are harvested at the peak maturity.
As we approach harvest-aid season on the Texas High Plains and Panhandle regions, the cotton crop continues to be somewhat of a mixed bag. Yield potential ranges from less than a bale on surviving dryland fields to better than three bales on fields with high irrigation capacity or those in areas where greater amounts of precipitation occurred. In any case, producers will soon be faced with the decision of when to apply harvest aids and which products should be utilized.
Undoubtedly, there will be some low yielding fields that will be left to freeze before harvesting in order to minimize further input costs. With the current conditions, there are several different harvest-aid programs that cotton producers could utilize and expect satisfactory performance. However, as we continue later into the harvest-aid season, cooler and perhaps wetter environmental conditions may require "adjustments" in harvest-aid programs to achieve similar performance.
Adjustments may include use of alternative products or higher usage rates of chemicals or adjuvants in a tankmix. As a final point, it should be noted that most cotton fields have maintained a high percentage of early set bolls, and harvest-aid decisions should be made that will not sacrifice the superior quality and yield potential from these bolls for the sake of lower quality small bolls that may not contribute to yield. Using sound maturity determination methods is important for yield and quality.
As I write this on Sept. 17, producers in southwest Georgia are beginning to make preparations and decisions for defoliation of the early planted cotton crop and are still waiting to see how the later planted crop will do. Early cotton began opening bolls in early September, and the earliest defoliation began during mid-to-late September, depending on when it was planted.
Harvest will likely begin in early October, weather permitting, and right now the early crop generally looks pretty good. Some of the later planted cotton looked noticeably better than it once did, likely due to some sunny and drier weather during early September. However, weather throughout the remainder of the fall will determine how well the later crop will perform. Warm, sunny weather with intermittent and moderate rains throughout the fall, accompanied by a later than normal frost, will likely be needed for optimal performance.
As of mid-September, cotton harvest has and continues to progress quickly in the Upper Gulf Coast and into the Blacklands. With few exceptions, harvest has been smooth due to limited precipitation in all regions currently harvesting cotton. Yields in the Upper Gulf Coast have averaged between 1.5 and 2.5 bales, and cotton fiber quality has been good. I have observed some irrigated fields that will be pushing four-plus bales, but these are the exceptions.
In the southern Blacklands, much of the cotton will be between 0.75 and 1.5 bales, depending on scattered showers this season. In the northern Blacklands, rainfall was more consistent and 1.5 bale yields will be common. In the dryland crop in the Rolling Plains, there will be more cotton harvested than in the last few years, but there are areas that will not be harvested for the third year in a row. Some areas will have average to above-average yields, depending on when and how much rain occurred in July.
The dry weather in August and September certainly shortened what was going to be a late crop for some producers, particularly in the northeastern part of the state. The temptation for producers in many other parts of the state will be to delay defoliation and try to improve yields.
If you decide to delay defoliation past the middle of October, you will need to keep a close eye on the weather patterns, and, if we see a cold front coming that will bring a hard frost, we need to react. Most of the crop will need less attention to juvenile growth and regrowth prevention than normal and more attention to boll opening. We will likely benefit from higher than normal rates of boll openers due to the cooler temperatures we are likely to have and the limited amount of time we may have to work with before a frost.
Remember that the mode of action of boll openers is hormonal, and the rate response is temperature dependent. This is also true with some defoliants like Def and Folex and to a lesser degree with the PPO herbicidal defoliants.
Over the last few days, badly needed rainfall has been received over much of the southwestern corner of the state. The area southwest of a line ranging from eastern Tillman County through northern Harmon County still has its moisture challenges. Although the rainfall came too late to improve yield prospects on many dryland acres, fiber quality may be improved in fields that had not yet undergone extremely severe drought stress.
Temperatures have been excellent for cotton maturity thus far in September. Forecasts for the remainder of the month appear to be maturity-friendly also. Yields in areas with good water quantity and quality may be good to excellent. Producers in areas with good irrigation capacity were also blessed several times with timely rainfall during the growing season. Overall quality remains to be seen. In order to achieve adequate maturity of late set bolls at some locations, an above normal, extremely warm finish to September and early October will be required.
The cotton crop in Virginia is variable across the growing region, though most producers seem to have a positive reaction when discussing yield potential. No one, however, is expecting yields to be at 2012 levels. Cotton is nearing 50 to 60 percent open bolls on light sandy soils and the rare field where producers were able to plant early (as I write this).
The large majority of the fields will be defoliated during October and some potentially later, depending on planting date. Boll openers will be needed as daytime highs fall below 80 degrees in conjunction with the delayed maturity of the crop. Producers should consult recommendations prior to defoliation to ensure proper leaf drop and boll opening.
Up to this point, Mississippi producers have been blessed with respect to weather conditions. We needed the heat to stick with us and the rain to stay away. Some of our warmest temperatures of the year were in late August and September, and rain wasn't seen in many areas of the state for more than a month. Recent rain helped mature out this crop. Some of the earliest cotton in the state was picked during the second week of September; however, by the time this issue of Cotton Farming reaches your hands, picking should be underway in many areas.
Preliminary yields are very promising, and hopes are high for another good crop. Early reports indicate that cotton acres will increase next year. However, I will be happy to get this crop out of the field and some fall tillage work done before rains set in.

Nearly 100 soldiers and civilians picked up honors at the 14th annual Medical Department Activity Volunteer Awards at Fort Stewart.
More than 600 people volunteered a combined 20,000 hours of community services in 2012 through MEDDAC. That includes time spent helping at Winn Army Community Hospital and beyond.
"They enhance what we do here by giving a smile, helping someone find their way around the hospital, or just being here," explained Volunteer Services Director Brigitte Cabeza-Shanken.
She said those volunteer hours saved the Department of the Army an estimated $475,589.
Off post projects included volunteering at the VA in Dublin, at Coastal Manor Nursing Home in Ludowici, Hinesville's Project Homeless among others.

Pruven™ Brand
"The litter trap works great!"
- JB, Kansas City, MO
Protect your home from pet messes with Pruven™ product featuring Scotch™, Scotchgard™ and Scotch-Brite™ technologies from 3M.
Pets can't help it if they're a little messy, and hairy, and like to scratch stuff, and have the occasional accident. Protect against these and other 'oopsies' with Pruven™.
Kinkle was a lab born to our mother lab, Jazmine. When Kinkle was born it showed that her tail had become folded down at the tip and I had to manually unfold the tip of her tail. Once I "unkinked" it and tried to straighten it out, she was dubbed "Kinkle" from my husband since that first day. From that day on, she had a permanent "kink" in her tail, thus her name "Kinkle".
Our newsletter offers endearing pet stories, expert insight and plenty of product offers – all for the love of our pets.
Check out Pruven™ pet products on Pet Life Radio™ with host Michelle Fern.
Since I tried the litter trap mat, my problems have been solved. Easy to install, easy to clean, great product.
Used this the other day on a urine stain and it worked exactly as expected!

Alex Wilson (15) -- Converted to the bullpen in April...If he can hone his command a bit, he has the makings of a 7th-inning reliever, mostly due to his above-average fastball-slider combo. But he's yet to show that he's ready to make that jump. He probably wouldn't fetch a ton of return on his own, but he'd have some value as part of a larger package.

In a new report the Economic Policy Institute estimates that in the last decade, the United States has lost some 2.8 million jobs to China. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have been affected by job loss and labor displacement from trade with China, with Texas and California suffering the greatest losses. Those two states lost 232,000 and 451,000 jobs, respectively, mostly in manufacturing. Other areas that have been hard hit include technology products, apparel and accessories, and textile fabrics and products.

A Smithville woman was killed Monday night when a teen driver struck her car head on. According to the St. Joseph Post, it happened on Highway 92 in Platte County. Law enforcement officials say 25 year-old Ashley Miller was traveling east when she encountered 17 year-old Logan Pope, who was traveling west in the eastbound lane as he attempted to pass another vehicle. Miller was taken from the scene by helicopter, but she later died as a result of her injuries. Pope was seriously injured in the crash and remains hospitalized.
Car accidents are the leading cause of death for young Americans between age 16 and 20, reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In 2011, 81 people were killed in Missouri accidents involving teen drivers. Teens are more likely to be involved in injury accidents because of several behaviors that are common in young drivers, including inexperience combined with speed; distracted driving (involving cell phone use, passengers, etc.); inexperience combined with nighttime driving; and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
What can parents do to keep their teens safe on Missouri roads? Insisting on seat belt use is a basic yet essential place to start. Of Missouri's 2011 teen crash fatalities, 79% neglected to wear their seat belts - which have proven to reduce fatal injury risks by 45%. "So many of those tragedies could have been prevented if only teens would take the time to buckle up," Leanna Depue, executive committee chair of the Missouri Coalition for Road Safety, told the Cassville Democrat.
This week (October 14 to October 20) is National Teen Driver Safety Week. In that spirit, our car accident lawyers would like to share a few tips to help parents promote safe, responsible driving.
Encouraging safety: Tips for parents of teen drivers
• Be clear and firm about your expectations. Make sure your teen drivers understand what the rules are - and what consequences they face, should those rules be broken. Also, take some time to explain why those rules are in place. Many parents find a teen driving contract is a useful tool, as it gives you the opportunity to actually spell out the rules in writing. A teen driving contract can establish clear boundaries related to seat belts, cell phone use, curfew, passengers and alcohol or drug use.
• Be responsive and respectful. When you discuss safe driving with your teen, make sure he or she understand that "safe" is the operative word. Teens are more likely to honor boundaries when they understand you're trying to keep them safe, not control them. Also, remember to listen when your teens have questions. If you want them to take your concerns seriously, extend them the same courtesy.
• Be there when they need you. Let your teens know they can turn to you if they find themselves in an dangerous situation, so they won't risk driving (or riding with someone) when it's unsafe to do so. Some parents establish a code word with their teens: when the word is used, parents automatically know that something is wrong and they need to be picked up immediately, no questions asked.

Middle Schoolers! Join Read Across Maryland: 30 for 30 Program
Prince George's County Memorial Library System in partnership with area Title 1 middle schools, launches the Read Across Maryland Program in which students read at least 30 minutes for 30 days. Beginning March 2 through March 31 celebrate Read Across Maryland month by reading with family, friends or by yourself. Participating students in the middle school with the most reading minutes will be eligible for prizes like a Kindle Fire or gift card. Read 30 minutes for 30 days and make reading a habit that will last a lifetime.
This year Maryland State Educators Association (MSEA) has chosen Andrew Jackson Academy and Walker Mill Middle School in Prince George's County as pilot locations to see what happens when an entire school competes to read 30 minutes for 30 days. How many will keep the pace? How many will stay the course? How many will start to see reading in a different way? What kind of readers will we see at Andrew Jackson Academy and Walker Mill Middle School at the end of thirty days?
A Kick-off event was held at the Spauldings Branch Library featuring Prince George's County author, hip-hop musician and actor Tray Chaney, best known as "Poot" from HBO's The Wire. Tray was joined by 93.9 WKYS radio personality, Angie Ange and County Executive, Rushern L. Baker who together challenged students from each of the schools to read, read, read!
For more details about Read Across Maryland, visit www.readacrossmaryland.org.
Check out Tray Chaney, aka "Poot" from HBO's The Wire- Radical Readers video, which was shot at Andrew Jackson Academy in Forestville, MD.

A word from Milos By Costas Spiliadis-Miami
Estiatorio Milos by Costas Spiliadis is a family restaurant that is true to its roots in every sense of the word. With 32 years of hard work and loyalty, Milos Miami marks the brand's fifth location. An open kitchen is offset by a fish market display providing diners with a stunning selection of more than a dozen varieties of whole fresh fish served by the pound. Selections arrive daily from independent fishermen as nearby as the Florida Keys and as far as the Greek Islands. While they vary with the changing of the tides, guests have the opportunity to engage in their dining experience - pick it, price it and make it theirs.Continued

- Paltry Portions for Miami SpiceRobBVIPDined on 9/17/2014I enjoy dining here on the full menu from time-to-time. It's usually a special night out. But on this random Wednesday, a friend and I decided to stop in to check out the Miami Spice menu. The service was outstanding as usual. But the Miami Spice menu portions were quite paltry. I realize it's supposed to be a smaller subset of items on the menu, but Milos clearly went out of their way to create miniature versions of the items on the Spice menu. Pity as it didn't make the restaurant look good.
- GreekGoodnessOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/17/2014This is truly an Amazing restaurant w the most delicious food you will ever taste! Enjoy!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Needs improvementOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/15/2014We are Milos fans from Montreal and New York so we found the Miami restaurant a bit over the top in that it felt a tad arrogant. Service, while professional, was uneven- waiters were more concerned with larger tables over a two top. They were all about selling to the point that when the bill arrived we felt overwhelmed by the price and underwhelmed by this experience. We will probably stick to Montreal and NYC.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced and overplayedAngelaDined on 9/13/2014I'd seen Milos listed on several Miami Spice must-do lists, so I was really excited about going. The reviews I read beforehand were right -- the place is overpriced. The first weird thing we noticed was that one waiter took our order, gave us the hard sell on the expensive fish to buy and then handed us off to other waiters who simply brought us the food, filled up our water, etc. It took three asks for our waiter to bring my boyfriend his first glass of wine and two asks to bring mine. Then the waiter brought a second glass that my boyfriend didn't order. In total, it took us three hours to eat a meal in a place that had empty tables on a Saturday night. The food wasn't great, and even with Miami Spice, we paid $200. Waste of money.Special Features:
- beautiful and deliciousReatsDined on 9/13/2014we loved this restaurant, it is definitely a hot spot for south beach. very high class, fit for foodies and has a romantic feel to it. yet would be great for a group. i plan to visit again soon.Special Features:
- Superb in all aspectsTobyVIPDined on 9/12/2014Everything in this place is amazing, the food is outstanding, thebservice is impecable, ingredients are first class. Is a must to dine there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expected MoreMaxWLADined on 9/11/2014Place was gorgeous but having dined at Milo's in NYC and Montreal I was disappointed especially with the mezethes, and the shrimp. We were a group of 10 and service was excellent but it's always about the food. Unlike some other high-end Greek restaurants I frequent in NYC and D.C. there was a rather limited selection of the many wonderful Greek wines available.Special Features:
- It was great !!!!VictormDined on 9/10/2014An excetent choice for dinner. Great environment, service and food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my favesPameDined on 9/9/2014Amazing food. Greek food with lots of spanish influnce. Better for groups than couples. Beware: it's expensive but totally worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unique Upscale Greek DiningFoodJunkieDined on 9/9/2014Most of us might not consider Greek cuisine worthy of an upscale dining experience, but Milos puts an emphatic end to such thinking. Everything we enjoyed and observed others enjoying was of the highest caliber of quality, freshness, and preparation. They have an on-sight "fish market" where one can select any of a myriad of fresh fish and shellfish flown in from the globe by Costas' private fleet of aircraft. One need only to gaze into the clear eyes of a dorado or Dover sole, or witness the still moving lobsters from Nova Scotia to be impressed by the freshness of their product. The execution of preparation was delivered to our table with clear passion for their craft.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't miss this gem of a restaurantmaxgrandDined on 9/9/2014The quintessential dining. The food was prepared and served in an immaculate way. The service was a dream. I would recommend it without any reservation to the most discerning diners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Miami Spice Menu Half $s$GoodfoodgoodtimesDined on 9/8/2014The Restaurant was nice, service was great and the food was good. Just not a lot of thought put into the dessert portion of the Miami Spice Menu. For dessert you have a choice between fruit, dry cake, or yogurt. Shame for a restaurant of this caliber. Appetizer & entree were delicious Octopus cooked just right, love the lemony flavor of the fitters, lamb chops although small were great, and fish was nice not to heavy or light. Would go back to restaurant but will not partake in the spice menu.Special Features:

- Miami SpiceMaggieDined on 9/7/2014I was impressed by the quality of the food but the portions on the Spice menu were rediculously small. My understanding of the Spice discount is to give patrons a chance to try restaurants they may have not visited before at a discounted price, not to create a portion control experiment. Ordered the grilled octopus as a starter and received 6 paper thin medallions and a $10 upcharge over the standard meal price. My main course was the Big Eye tuna consisting of 6 small cubes, basically a starter. Desert was a dollop of yogurt and a few pieces of fruit. Wines by the glass were 4 oz. pours and very over priced for the quality. My feeling is if you can't afford to offer a special like this then don't. It is an insult to educated dinners.Special Features:
- Great Food and AmbienceSamuraiDined on 9/6/2014Excellent Menu...Service is very good. I fully recommend !Special Features:

- Great foodCasualdiner1Dined on 8/20/2014The Miami Spice menu is very good and excellent value. The sea bream and the cod were both delicious as were the mezzanine plate and the tuna. Desserts were great due to their simplicity and the yoghurt in particular was fabulous. Service was a little slow and the wine recommendation at $18 a glass for Chardonnay was a bit over the top. However, overall the experience was really very good. Next time I will pick my own wine!Special Features:
- Miami Spice GemPMFoodieDined on 8/19/2014The Miami Spice menu had several choices for the appetizer and entree, which was surprising for a Miami Spice Menu. The appetizer was excellent.

- 1st time's the charm!RebonvinoDined on 8/18/2014Went for the first time to celebrate my Boyfriend's birthday. We took advantage of the Miami Spice menu. It was a treat! I ordered the Octopus for appetizer and Lamb Chops for entree. They were both excellent. My Boyfriend had the cod fritters for appetizer and the Dorade for entree. He thought they were excellent too! We ordered out of the Miami Spice Menu the ceviche. It was outstanding. I loved how fresh herbs were in our dishes. The waitress even cuts them fresh from the live plant to add them to the dipping olive oil. The nut cake was very moist and not too sweet. Their kitchen is impressive and the display of fresh fish from the mediterranean is beautiful. I will definitely come back for special occasions as it is on the pricy side.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food greatly outdoes the servicetoydocVIPDined on 8/17/2014While the wait staff try to give the impression of being professional, they lack training, experience, and most likely interest. The food outshines their performance. Delicious well prepared; kudos to the kitchen.Special Features:

Dakota Prison Anniversary
June 06, 2013
Descendants of some prisoners who were held here during the Civil War will visit the Quad Cities this weekend - not from the prison on Arsenal Island for Confederate soldiers, but from the prison for Dakota Indians in what is now the Village of East Davenport.
The prison opened in Davenport in 1863 for Indians captured after an uprising in Minnesota. Local researcher Sara Childers says of the 400 Dakota brought here, one quarter had died by the time the prison closed 3 years later.
It was probably located near the intersection of McClellan Boulevard and either Hillcrest Avenue or Crestwood Terrace. And the weekend will include a memorial walk Saturday morning from the river, up to the site.
"The Dakota spiritual advisors are coming and will do a pipe ceremony. It's basically just to say some prayers and sing some songs, just like we would do in our churches."
Events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Dakotas' arrival in the Quad Cities will begin Friday and continue through Sunday afternoon. Childers says among those attending will be about 100 descendants of the Dakota prisoners.

Golf courses in Florida
United States -> Florida -> Tampa/Florida Gulf Area
Tampa Area Golf Courses
The Bloomingdale Golfers Club has created an environment in which half of the area is still a natural wildlife preserve. Located in Tampa, you find a course lined by 100-year old oaks and large pines in the midst of a marshland. It provides a championship course positioned in the midst of thirteen lakes and absorbed by the wildlife found there.
Perhaps no golf course designer is as well known as Robert Trent Jones Sr. His dynamic personality and gifted talent brought new life to American Golf. The Apollo Beach Golf Club is the only course on Florida's west coast designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. He desired to create bold and beautiful courses. He used the natural terrain and added flash and style to it. It was his desire to create an exciting and memorable experience for every golfer.
Walden Lake Golf and Country Club is located between Tampa and Orlando. It consists of two courses - the Lakes and the Hills Courses. They were formed from the Florida landscape and try to showcase the natural habitat.
Babe Zaharias Golf Course is located in Tampa. Mildred Ella "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias was physically gifted in many fields. In 1935 she began to concentrate on golf. She won 17 tournaments in a row in 1946 and 1947. She was voted the Associated Press's #1 Woman Athlete of the Year in 1931, 1945,1946,1946,1950 and 1954. The course was opened in 1926 as Forest Hills Golf and Country Club. The "Babe" bought the course in 1949 and lived in the second story of the clubhouse until 1954 when she moved to a house close by. After her death in 1956 the course's existence became questionable. It was nearly developed several times into housing, but Tampa city bought the course in 1974 as a memorial to her. Since then it has been rebuild into a challenging course for all golfers.
The Claw at USF is a course that plays from 5353 to 6863 yards and offers 4 tee boxes. It is named for the famous oddly shaped tree that "eats" balls on the 14th hole. Over the years they continue to improve the course. It offers a chance to play on land adjacent to a Florida land preservation area, and to enjoy towering moss-draped oaks, native pines and numerous lakes as you play golf.
Lexington Oaks Golf Course is located in Wesley Chapel, a 20 minutes drive from downtown Tampa. Its 18-hole championship layout offers a variety of elevations set amidst lakes and wetlands. Opening in 2000, its 6,748-yard course is set up to accommodate many skill levels.
In the early days, Rogers Park was the only area designated for African Americans to go. It contained all the elements of a park- swing sets, picnic tables and baseball field. The funds were donated by G.D. Rogers. A group of caddies from Palma Ciea C.C. asked if they could build a nine hole course that was finished in 1952 and named Rogers Park Golf Couse, now open to and enjoyed by all. A clubhouse was built, and then remodeled in 2002. Over the years many other improvements have been made. Now it is a fine 18-hole course.
The River Club is conveniently located to conveniently to Tampa and St. Petersburg. It was designed by Ron Garl and contains a challenging layout. The front nine are on rolling fairways, while the back is particularly difficult. The back has many strategically placed sand bunkers, undulating greens and many large trees. The whole course is a challenge with a high slope rating which makes it a very memorable course to play for the golfer.
Rocky Point Golf Course got its start in 1911 as the Tampa Automobile Club. As one of the first golf courses it was something of a novelty, but lasted until 1942 with the coming of World War II. Barracks were built and prisons of war were held for the duration of the war. In 1953 Tampa regained the use of the course leasing it to J.S. "Curly" Hartman and his wife for 25 years. During that time more holes were added. Then in 1978, it became part of the Tampa Sports Authority. They reduced the number of holes from 27 to 18, making it more difficult. In 1993 a new clubhouse was added.
Silverthorn Country Club was finished in 1994. Play distance is 6933 yards, with a slope rating of 131, will give the golfer a difficult game. There are many bunkers placed throughout the course. For added challenge there are links-style holes and tree-lined ones in the John Lee designed course.
Sun-N-Lake Golf and Country Club has many amenities. There are 2 championship courses. The Deer Run Course designed by Don Dyer opened in 1976 and has longer holes. The complicated shots are a challenge. The Turtle Run Course is a Charles Ankrom course that opened in 1999. The design features deep bunkers, moguls, and fast greens. It takes its name from the nearby wildlife presence from the "Scrub Jay Preservation Area " which you can observe but not venture into.
The Tides Golf Club is located in Seminole, Florida on Boca Ciega Bay. Four of the holes are on the Bay and many have views of the Gulf of Mexico. It is suitable and an enjoyable play for all ages and skill levels.

UFC on Fox Sports 1 #3 has yet to be officially announced by promotion officials, but a report from Brazilian website Portal do Vale Tudo says it is a go and revealed two more bouts for the event.
UFC officials have long targeted Sept. 4 for a Fox Sports 1 event in Brazil. The original plan was for Porto Alegre to host the event, but PVT reports the UFC will instead return to Belo Horizonte for the event.
A bout between Joseph Benavidez and Jussier "Formiga" da Silva has already been rumored for Sept. 4, but the two new bouts include Glover Teixeira vs. Ryan Bader in a light heavyweight tilt and Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza vs. Yushin Okami at middleweight.
More MMA
Teixeira (21-2) and Bader (15-3) were originally slated to fight at UFC 160, but Bader had to withdraw due to an MCL injury. Teixeira went on to score a first-round submission victory over James Te Huna.
Jacare (18-3) recently made his promotional debut by submitting Chris Camozzi at UFC on FX 8. Okami (29-7) is on a three-fight winning streak, recovering well following a failed attempt to take the middleweight belt from Anderson Silva and then losing to Tim Boetsch in his next bout.

2 great fights.
Gotta go w/ Teixeira over Bader. Bader's real hope is his wrestling but Teixeira has solid wrestling of his own and hopefully some of that legendary takedown defense of Chxck has rubbed off on Glover.
Jacare v. Okami is a good one, esp. for true MMA fans. Jacare would be the sexy pick, but smart money is on Okami.
Jacare has actually been improving his stand-up but Okami's is still better and has less holes. Jacare would LOVE to take Okami down and in top position but Okami will likely not let this happen as Okami has a decided advantage in wrestling and if Okami decides to take the fight to the ground, he has excellent sub defense and good gnp and top control.
Okami should have a strength advantage and will likely win a decision and lot of the lay / casual fans will complain that the fight is boring.
I would have to argue that Jacare will land a nearly quick decision. I believe his striking is actually better than Okami's in an unorthodox manner, which has proven to be what hurts Okami's defense anyway.
Great match -ups! TEXEIRA is on fire. Dont think Bader has what it takes to stop his hunt to the title shot, and if Glover can menage to pull another stoppage victory he is close. As for Jacare vs Okami, im looking forward to this fight. A true test for Jacare, everyone is expecting so much from him, and Okami is always dangerous with his style and coming off a good victory that will probably send Lombard to 170.
I can't believe Texiera is fighting Bader. I mean, Bader has lost to every top fighter so far, except for a washed-up Rampage. Texiera, on the other hand, hasn't lost since Al Gore invented the Internet. And pants.
Could we please see Texiera fight a top-5 fighter already? Or is this a gimmie fight to keep his winning streak intact to hype up a future fight for when he challenges for the LHW belt??
Lil Nog is hurt, Gustaffson is fighting for the title, Henderson just lost and Shogun is fighting Sonnen. Other than Bader, that only really leaves Rashad and Machida. Who's to say they weren't offered the Teixeira fight and turned it down? Or maybe the plan is for them to have a rematch. I'm just saying that matchmaking isn't always that simple. Especially for someone like Teixeira who is obviously very dangerous but still has the lowest profile of the top 10
Makes sense. But after Bader, it would really be a travesty for him to fight any non top7 or so LHW
don't forget gegard and phil davis are floating around there too.
the reality is that glover is on a great streak, but his highest ranked opponent was rampage… after he just lost to bader.
Mousasi is out for a while do to surgery.
that is correct, but when he comes back he should be paired up with one of the aforementioned names
I'm sorry, but can they give Texiera someone a little higher on the ladder? Bader is very talented and I'm not trying to disrespect him, but the fight just doesn't make sense right now. Give Texiera someone like Evans/Machida, or make him wait for someone else.
This is as much for Bader too. He needs to slow down. If he loses again, it's really going to set him back and take him out of the minds of people thinking title contender.
I agree. this Bader fight sucks. Thiago Silva or Rashad Evans are the fights to make.
Seriously, the UFC and Joe Silva are dropping the ball in making contenders in the LHW division… the whole Sonnen situation was just a big mess and since then they've not been building anyone up. As you said above, it should be Teixeira vs. Rashad and Bader vs. Thiago Silva. It's so simple yet they continue to make bonehead decisions.
they're biding their time with glover. bader is top 10 for sure. this makes perfect sense for him because jones is fighting gus the same month. it's about timing.
Great fights, hopefully Glover and Jacare take the fights so they can get closer to contention.
So Sick of these gate keeper fights!
you must not know what a "gate keeper" is.
Good fights as they could both go either way. Wrestlers of that caliber can always null the action for decision wins.
It all comes down to if Jacare will be able to force his jiu-jitsu on Okami and If Teixeira will be able to keep it standing with Bader or get back up from under him.
was hoping to see Glover take on the winner of Henderson vs Evans (therefor Evans)…I just think he will make quick work of Bader.
I'll go with Glover Tex on this, even though Bader has been impressive Glover has the edge. And Jacare and Okami is a treat. To very impressive grapplers with solid striking. I'll go with Jacare though.
Texeira easy win. Bad match making again by Joe Silva he sucks.
why are you whining. These are great match-ups by Joe Silva here.
Texeira may easily win, but Bader is no push-over. It's a good fight for Texeira b/c he's fighting a solid name and will have his wrestling tested by a strong grappler. Not to mention that Bader still has KO power in his hands.
Okami vs Jacare is an awesome fight for MMA purists. For real mma fans, no explanation should be necessary.

A conservative think tank sued the Environmental Protection Agency Wednesday for text messages sent by Gina McCarthy, President Obama's pick to head the agency, from days on which she testified before Congress.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute was "credibly informed" in April that agency officials had warned McCarthy, currently the EPA's assistant administrator for air, that texts she was sending about members of Congress during hearings where she was a witness posed a risk to her and the agency, according to CEI's announcement of its lawsuit.
The suit specifically requests texts for the 18 specific dates McCarthy has testified before Congress. CEI filed a Freedom of Information Act request last month for the texts. The EPA has refused to release the records, but the agency's FOIA office told CEI senior fellow Christopher Horner the records were not billable, meaning they could be produced in less than two hours.
Obama nominated McCarthy on March 4. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee voted for her confirmation on May 16, a week after committee Republicans boycotted a scheduled vote in protest of the EPA's lack of transparency. The vote goes to the full Senate in July.
The EPA's failure to release McCarthy's texts means the agency has either withheld records it is required by law to produce, or it has destroyed text messages to avoid making them public, according to Horner.
Information on mobile devices, including cellphones and PDAs, is subject to Freedom of Information Act laws, according to the EPA's own website.
Horner first exposed former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's "Richard Windsor" alias email account last year.
Jackson resigned in December, shortly after media reports that the EPA inspector general was investigating whether her use of the private email account for business violated transparency laws. The EPA was ordered in federal court to release the emails, which it has done in several batches since January, heavily redacted.

A husband and wife in Connecticut are standing the test of time - more than eight decades later. John and Ann Betar are celebrating their 81st wedding anniversary. They say they had a rocky start to their relationship, as Ann's father wanted her to marry another man. John and Ann relocated from Bridgeport, Conencticut to Harrison, New York to elope on November 25, 1932. Of course everyone's asking the big question - how do you stay happy together for so long? Ann says: "Well, marriage isn't a lovey-dovey thing, you know, for 80 years, you know. You learn to accept one another's ways of life, agreements, disagreements -- disagreements on our children, preparation on bringing up your kids. That was the main interest was your children."John then cuts in, saying, "It's only about cooking. It's only about cooking, that's the only arguments we had."The Associated Press reports the couple was named the 2013 "longest married couple" in the United States by Worldwide Marriage Encounter, a group in San Bernardino, Calif., dedicated to improving Christian marriages.John is 101 years old and Ann is 97. They have five children, 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

House Wastes Time to Criticize DADT Repeal
April 7, 2011 by Ty Cobb
Today, the House Armed Services Committee heard testimony from all four branches of our Armed Forces on their experiences with preparation for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Commandant of the Marine Corps General James Amos testified there had not been any "recalcitrant push back" from his marines. In addition, Chief of Staff of the Air Force General Norton Schwartz explained that he is "more comfortable now than in December" that implementation of repeal would not harm our military.Continue Reading ►
