Less than three months from the start of the college football season, the three first-year SEC head coaches have paced, prowled and propelled themselves and their programs into perplexing positions of uncertainty.
And that's not a bad thing.
Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, Auburn's Gene Chizik and Tennessee's Lane Kiffin are first-year SEC coaches because 2008 was at best a forgettable experience for each program.
So, with change the eternal springboard of optimism -- especially in the SEC where football pays the bills and apathy is a much more dangerous emotion than anger -- enter three new coaches with clear goals and an even clearer sense of purpose.
Sadly, each has no clearly proven answer at quarterback and each has crystal clear concerns offensively, but that's a discussion for another day (and possibly the biggest reason Sly Croom, Tommy Tuberville and Phillip Fulmer were told goodbye after last season).
Granted, the days of decade-long tenures at today's college programs are a thing of the past, gone forever like drop kicks and helmets without facemasks. The unyielding pressure, the 340 work days a year and the obscene salaries make head-coaching seasons just short of dog years on the conversion scale.
But which of the three new SEC coaches on the block will be around long enough to be embraced rather than embattled?
Mullen has the benefit of having the lowest expectations of the three and possibly in the league. He has the least head-coaching experience of the new trio, but considering Chizik and Kiffin are a combined 10-34 as head coaches, that also is not all that bad.
What Mullen does have is the steepest hill to climb.
After winning two BCS championship rings as Florida's offensive coordinator, he is used to high-powered players running a high-octane offense. In Starkville, offense has been less about high speed and more about hi-jinks.
"I went from a guy at quarterback who was a Heisman winner to guys (Tyson Lee, Chris Relf) trying to learn the offense," Mullen told the Commercial Appeal of Memphis earlier this spring. "A couple of times I found myself biting my lip because we weren't executing at the high level I wanted."
Either Mullen will have to change his lofty level of expectations for the immediate future or drive himself nuts watching his Bulldogs surprise one SEC team a year and struggling to be bowl-eligible every season. But at MSU, that may be good enough for at least one extension.
In truth, I'll take Mullen leaving Mississippi State rather than the other way around.
Chizik has plenty in common with Kiffin. They both assembled impressive staffs of assistants and done admirable jobs of generating enthusiasm rather than hand-wringing from programs coming off disastrously disappointing seasons.
Chizik has been a little more subdued than his Vols counterpart, but Auburn's recent recruiting jaunt in luxury vehicles throughout the state of Alabama was either a stroke of genius or desperation, depending on the color of your lucky game-day T-shirt.
That said, Chizik could easily be the one of this trio who still is planning on the SEC Media Days in the summer of 2017 -- and trying to line up some type of grass-fueled limo for the eighth annual "Tiger Prowl."
Kiffin is the biggest unknown. His approach has been either electric or idiotic depending on whom you ask. He has the least amount of time but the highest ceiling.
In five years, Kiffin's Volunteers either will be on the short list of teams in the running for a national title or they likely will no longer be KIffin's Vols. It's hard to see any other way out.
Either way, Vols officials and fans got exactly what they said they wanted -- something different than the status quo. And different is always good, especially three months before the season when no one has lost an SEC game yet.
Jay was named the Sports Editor of the Times Free Press in 2003 and started with the newspaper in May 2002 as the Deputy Sports Editor. He was born and raised in Smyrna, Ga., and graduated from Auburn University before starting his newspaper career in 1997 with the Newnan (Ga.) Times Herald. Stops in Clayton and Henry counties in Georgia and two years as the Sports Editor of the Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal preceded Jay's ...
It's not just something different than the status quo at Tennessee. If you read between the lines, expectations of players has been higher and it's a tighter run ship than it was before. We'll see this translates to.
Tighter ship?
I hope so.
If NCAA violations are evidence of how well things are battened down, then we're in trouble.
I'll jump on the Lane train if he can 1) keep us out of trouble with the NCAA, 2) get our kids to the NFL or to graduate, and 3) win.
So far, all Lane Kiffen has done has run his mouth.
Given how easy the Vols schedule is this year, he should win 8 without having any coaching talent. 9 wins is expected. Seven, or fewer.... he's even more suspect than O.J.
Those so called "secondary violations" are nothing. Ohio State has something like 400 and nothing has been done to them. They are like parking tickets.
I think Kiffin has four gates to hit, and he won't hit all of them this year: an 8-game-win baseline, a big win against a traditional rival (Florida, Georgia, or Alabama) included in or in addition to the 8-game baseline, a January 1st or later bowl game, and win the SEC East/SEC outright.
Realistically, I think he wins the eight games, and I think he sneaks up on one of the rivals. That should get him to the bigger bowl game. SEC ranking, this year, would be gravy.
If he does the above, he's got room to breathe. His recruiting will take care of the house longterm.

It is so scary now to buy anything that's grown in Japan, especially stuff like chlorella that absorbs toxins, but this supplement is grown on an island quite far away from the epicenter of the nuclear crisis, so hopefully is it relatively clean. I can not testify to the quality of this product in comparison with other chlorella products because this one is the only one I tried, but we use it often, especially when eating non-organic food or fish (when we do not forget to use it :) ).

Pills are dark green like the color of the powder. Some other brand I tried, the color of the pills were light green. If you see the pure chrolella powder, their color is dark green, not light green.
I have seen a documentary about this stuff

I have seen a documentary about Chlorella, read a small e-book about this and thought I would give this a try. The whole process of ordering was easy and quick. Now using 10 tablets a day. Previously I haven't used anything like this. Not sure whether my mind is playing games with me, but I really have the impression I have more energy and neem less sleep. I haven't used it for a week as a test and felt less energetic. But I'm very sceptic, use it now again and the energy levels seem to rise again. No difference in bloodpressure, which is always been a little high. No weightchanges found, while my diet is the same. Taste is good, does not taste fishy. Biggest problem is not to forget to take 10 of them spread over the day.
Good product

I was taking a more expensive brand of chlorella,which costs more than twice what this costs. In switching to Jarrow, it feels the same. I still have energy and get the same benefits while saving money.

Coroner's Lt. Fred Corral tells the San Gabriel Valley Tribune ( http://bit.ly/XkgVJq) that 47-year-old Christine Alva, 49-year-old Barbara Alva and 53-year-old George Alva all died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head.
The three were found dead Dec. 6 in the aftermath of a house fire in Azusa. Also discovered at the home were two dead dogs and two dead cats, along with 22 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Public records show the house was in foreclosure, and family friend Nora Dewester told the Tribune that the siblings were expected to move out the day they died. Friends also say the siblings' father died earlier this year and their mother died several years ago.

For Students
The Placement Office provides a number of services to students designed to assist them with developing and achieving their career goals.
Individual Assistance and Counseling
We provide individual assistance to all students to help them with the career planning process. This includes individual counseling, identifying employment opportunities and help with the job search process. Students are encouraged to set individual appointments with a counselor to discuss career planning goals.
Informational Workshops
We provide students with a variety of programs each semester, designed to build job search skills and to educate them about the process of seeking legal employment. In addition, the Placement Office regularly schedules guest speaker panels, featuring attorneys from a cross section of specialty areas. Recent panels have featured attorneys who practice in International Law, Business Law, and Employment Law. These panel presentations allow students to hear from and meet practitioners from various areas of the legal community.
Resource Room
The Placement Office Resource Room contains numerous materials to assist students in their job search and professional development. Resources include a library of current books on legal interests and career development, firm directories, information on resumes and cover letters, networking and more. Resume paper is available for .25/sheet. Free access to two computers, a scanner and copier is available for students to use to prepare, scan, email or upload application materials.
Placement Office Manual
Every 1L student at Willamette College of Law receives a copy of the Placement Office Manual. This helpful publication outlines job search techniques and provides samples of resumes, cover letters and other job search correspondence. First year students are provided with copies of this manual during their Placement Office Orientation session in October.
Mentoring Program
The Placement Office oversees an active student/attorney mentoring program. Our mentoring program pairs first year law students with one of approximately 150 volunteer lawyers and judges. This provides students with a tremendous opportunity, early in their legal careers, to forge an individual relationship with a practicing attorney or judge, who can offer insight about the practice of law.
Pro Bono Honors Program
The Pro Bono Honors Program is designed to encourage students to participate in community-based volunteer legal service projects. The Program allows students to enhance their learning experience through hands-on involvement in the community, while providing valuable services to people in need.
In addition, students who participate and provide a minimum number of hours of not-for-credit and not-for-compensation work during the year (April - March) will receive a Pro Bono Honors Program Award from Willamette and will be honored in the spring. In addition, those students who provide the most pro bono hours each year will receive special recognition.
Externship Program
Willamette has a very active externship program administered through the Clinical Law Program. The Externship Seminar is either a three (3) credit course or a six (6) credit course in which you will be assigned a grade of Honors, Credit or No Credit. One student will receive High Honors which will be noted on their transcript as Best Paper. You may take the three (3) credit course twice or the six (6) credit course once. If you take the course twice, you are strongly advised to try a different type of externship the second time in order to broaden your experiences. Please contact the Placement Office for more information.
Willamette's Reciprocity Policy
The Placement Office at Willamette University College of Law is happy to assist students and alumni of other law schools with their job search in Oregon. Our policy concerning the use of our career services and resources is set forth below.
- We make our services and resources available to all students and graduates of other ABA accredited law schools that permit our students and graduates the same access. Our policy is to mirror the reciprocity policy of the requesting law school. In the case of online reciprocity, WUCL uses the Symplicity job posting system and will allow access to reciprocity students who's law school will grant access to our students or graduates.
- There is no limit on the number of referrals our office will take from a single school; however, in the case of schools which permit reciprocity only on a one-to-one basis, we will grant reciprocity only if the requesting law school waives such requirement for a Willamette Law student or graduate.
- Students and graduates of other law schools must have their Career Services Office submit a request for reciprocity and a letter of introduction one week prior to the first visit. Absolutely no walk-in requests will be honored. The letter or email request must include the name and email address of student or graduate.
- The duration of the request will mirror the length honored by the requesting school, but will not exceed three months from the date of the original request. Renewal of a reciprocity request will be considered as a new, first time request and will count as an additional individual's use of the office. Students and graduates using our office are required to identify themselves as students or graduates who have been granted reciprocity.
When responding to career opportunities found through the Placement Office at Willamette University College of Law, applicants are required to state in their cover letters to employers that they obtained the listing through a reciprocal agreement between the applicant's school and Willamette University College of Law.
The Placement Office reserves the right to deny reciprocity to individuals who misuse our facilities or do not comply with university policies. Email requests to Bev Ecklund, Placement Office Coordinator.

Find more At Leisure with Joyce Saricks
Bill Ott and I recently discussed the title of this column. Chosen in 2004 after I retired from the Downers Grove (IL) Public Library and theoretically had more leisure time, it also referred to the column's readers'-advisory focus on helping leisure readers find titles that would please them. However, since traditional retirement seems to elude me—friends say I have utterly failed in this endeavor—we wondered if the title was still apt.
As any good librarian would, I decided to explore what leisure means, as I'd like to find a way for my activities and lifestyle to qualify. My American Heritage Dictionary defines leisure as "freedom from time-consuming duties, responsibilities, or activities." Now, honestly, does that seem a realistic possibility in anyone's life? I prefer the online Merriam-Webster definition: "time when you are not working; time when you can do whatever you want to do." Surely I can twist that around so that the edges between leisure and work blur. Am I to blame if my free-time activities—reading and listening to a wonderful range of fiction and nonfiction—tend to overlap with my work?
A recent round-trip by car between Chicago and Los Angeles provided the perfect opportunity for this conjunction of work and leisure. After more than 40 years of marriage, my husband and I don't have enough conversation for thousands of miles on the road. Early in our marriage, we read aloud on trips, and I have fond memories of driving from the West through Kansas, alternately reading and listening to David Dary's True Tales of the Old Time Plains, as we passed through some of the areas Dary described. Now we listen to books on CD, a better choice since these work even on those twisty roads that made me a carsick passenger, unable to read. Unfortunately, I didn't plan as carefully for this trip as I should have. I might have looked for a Nevada Barr novel set in a national park along our route or Anne Hillerman's Spider Woman's Daughter, a new entry in her father's wonderful series, as I certainly saw some familiar place-names from Hillerman's Southwest along the way. Still, we listened to a number of wonderful audiobooks that filled our leisure hours and sometimes complemented the landscape of our journey. Now, just as a good librarian looks up terms, any good advisor, especially one without a desk, seeks ways to share books they've enjoyed. Here's a sample.
We started with William Kent Krueger's Ordinary Grace. Not his usual mystery, this coming-of-age story concerns loss, faith, and at least one miracle. With marked sensitivity, Rich Orlow narrates the tale, told from Frank Drum's perspective, both now and looking back to his teens in the summer of 1961, when five deaths changed everything for him and his family. This is a character-centered, inspirational novel written in lovely, image-rich prose, with just enough mystery to keep us speculating. About 3,000 miles later, we listened to another Krueger title, Tamarack County, a great addition to his Cork O'Connor series. Read by seasoned series narrator David Chandler, it also evokes a wonderful sense of place, even though it wasn't the landscape we drove through.
Toby Barlow's Babayaga takes place about as far from our route as you can get—in Paris, Russia, and across Europe—and fits in nicely with those novels David Pitt wrote about in his feature, "Horror and Comedy," in August's Booklist. There are several witches (babayagas) loose in Paris in 1959 with Cold War intrigues and a policeman transformed into a flea, among the vast array of madcap misadventures. Narrator Dan John Miller manages the totally diverting mayhem as well as the large and diverse cast and their activities with élan.
We also listened to James McBride's The Good Lord Bird, a National Book Award winner centering on abolitionist John Brown. It tells a familiar story, at least for us Kansans who grew up knowing Brown's fierce visage from the John Steuart Curry mural in the state capitol in Topeka. This version, however, is something different. A darkly picaresque tale filled with scrapes and mishaps, it is told by The Onion, a young black boy passing as a girl, and it frequently deviates from accepted history to offer another perspective on the great man. Narrated in an exuberantly voiced, down-home vernacular by Michael Boatman, this is a story for anyone who appreciates a new perspective on history.
Bill Bryson's One Summer: America, 1927, read by the author, provided us with a wonderfully discursive microhistory. He rambles through that summer, highlighting aviation (Lindbergh's flight, among others), sports (baseball, with Ruth's home-run record and Gehrig's feats), Prohibition, politics, and much more. Bryson's books are a trivia addict's dream, filled with fascinating facts and warts-and-all glimpses of the famous and infamous. His congenial style and companionable reading, with multiple amusing and enlightening asides, make the hours fly by.
All this is to say that I'm content with a lifestyle that blends work and leisure, and the column title still works for me. We readers' advisors are fortunate indeed, as helping library patrons discover books, audiobooks, and DVDs for their leisure hours allows many of us to combine work with play.
This month's RA tip: Everything we "read" (and listen to and view) makes us better readers' advisors. Whether we read titles required for work or ones chosen for our own leisure, we learn to appreciate and then share our pleasure and discoveries with others.

Probably Lamar's best game in over a year. 4-8, with 8 points and 6 boards. Glad to see him put in a solid game.

Ryan Anderson is so good. Hopefully the Lakers can get rid of Pau's stink for this guy.
My reaction if the Lakers get a top 5 pick this year.
Exhibit #1251251 why anyone blaming any single player on the Heat's woes is wrong. Their ONLY problem is defense. And it's a BIG problem.

Here is the Trans Siberian train trip schedule, plus a bit of related info. I have given you my own abridged version. The Monkeyshrine company that caters for the Trans Siberian have an in depth online PDF downloadable brochure/info pack of around 100 pages - you can find it at monkeyshrine.com - and it is recommended reading!
August 2, 6pm. Yancheng to Beijing overnight sleeper train. First class perhaps. The Shanghai-Beijing overnight train is a beauty! I have travelled on it a couple of times. A lot of people will go to Beijing or Shanghai on the overnight if they have a long weekend available. A very comfortable train. Seats are available if you wish to do it on the cheap. The first class cabins are for four people with table and a few other additions, such as private toilet and TV. The second class are six berths and are a little less well equipped. The train staff are very courteous and will bring around a trolley every hour or so with drinks and snacks. If you like Tsingtao beer, no problem; if you want Heineken, no problem. The first-class berth will get an ice bucket to keep the drinks cold. There is now also a VFT (Very Fast Train) from Shanghai to Beijing reducing the 1200km journey to four and a half hours but it has had a few teething problems. Among those problems have been Very Fast Train crashes, so at the moment the overnight is the preferred mode of train travel for everyone. The VFT doesn't stop at Yancheng so it doesn't do me much good anyway.
August 3, 6am. Arrive Beijing Central Station. Walk across road, 300 metres, to the Zhonghan Hotel. Easy, eh!
Four nights at the Zhonghan - check out a few Beijing sights and sounds again, Tiananmen Square, The forbidden City, Summer Palace, the foreigners' quarter (Sunlitun area) and meet up with the Monkeyshrine train group at their offices in Sunlitun, to get final instructions.
August 7, 7am. Depart Beijing Central 8am for Ulan Baator (Mongolian Capitol city) via Trans Mongolian route..
The train has a restaurant car, it can cost $20AUS to $30 to eat in the dining car, so it is recommended we take such snacks as noodles. Can have a wash, as each carriage have facilities to freshen up, each carriage has hot water for tea and coffee or noodles. Can buy alcohol and stuff along the way at station stops (recommended) or on the train. Customer service on the train is apparently excellent during the Chinese and Mongolian legs, it drops off after entering Russia. I will find out about that, soon enough.
Sleeping cabins, first class or second class, or seated (wouldn't want to sit for 10 days). Am travelling second class, hobnobbing with the middle class. I am sure that they at least will have a wash. I will be sharing with a few people, so that in itself should be interesting, I hope. I could, however, end up with a bunch of demanding pain-in-the-arse Americans. It takes 11 hours to change the rail cars' running gear at the Russian border as the rail is a different gauge. You can hang at the station or go to have a look around town. Just don't be late getting back on board because they won't wait. Apparently the Russians don't like you taking photos of the people either, especially if they are in uniform.
The border crossing into Mongolia from China is a lot easier. The Chinese/Mongolian border guards are happy to have a photo taken. I'm going in summer so the weather should be warmish, excepting it can get a wee bit cool at night during the stay in Mongolia, so I'll need to take some warm clothing.
Supposed to be a few schemers and pickpockets at the station stops along the way, so it is recommended that you keep a close eye on your belongings. Every foreigner is seen as a rich man ... if only they knew.
August 8, 2pm. Arrive Ulaan Baator and picked up at train station for a city tour, which may well consist of a series of exclamations, "Oh! Look, a monument to Genghis Khan!" I don't think there is an awful lot to see in Ulaan Baator. Genghis Khan, mind you, was a mighty man and the Mongols love him. Greatest Barbarian ruler ever known, at his peak he ruled from China to Poland and even had a go at the holy lands. The Mameluke? (Saracen soldier slaves) however, drove him back. His grandson Kublai Khan ruled China (Ming Dynasty) and another grandson ruled India. The Chinese built the Great Wall to keep him out, and it didn't work. Nowadays he has his own brand of Vodka, his own brand of car tyre and I reckon you could probably find a chicken burger down at the local chicken take away named after him. Yep, Genghis rocks! It is rumoured that he was actually a Siberian, but say that to a Mongol and you'll have a fight on your hands.
Then a transfer to Elstei Ger Lodge, a tent community, for two nights. Hang around for the rest of the day and enjoy a real Mongolian BBQ and a bit of Mongol dancing. Sleep in a tent out on the steppes. The mongols have a fairly strict set of customs and it is advised not to cross the line, but I am sure that they would be used to foreigners screwing up. The guides should be of great help in that area as I am always one who inadvertently stuffs up. The Mongols are known to love a drink and a fight. After they've had a good "punch up" they're happy. Should be fun.
August 9. A day of horse riding, archery, Mongolian wrestling, horse racing ... start a fight, drink some fermented mares' milk, eat Mongolian style lamb, drink Mongolian style tea, sleep in a tent (gert) on the wide open steppe grasslands, and other Mongol cultural stuff. Sounds like I might really like the place.
August 10. Return to Ulaan Baator and transfer to train station, departing for Russia at 2pm.
August 11. Train crossing into Russia, includes an 11-hour border crossing and rail running gear change out. Have passports and visas scrutinised. Hang around or go into town, buy a few things, snacks, don't be late getting back.
August 12. Train across Siberia.
August 13. Train passing from Asia into Europe and the Ural Mountains. A short stop in the city of Irkutsk, which is near the Lake Baikal area and the lake's main island Olkon. Apparently a beautiful area. Biggest and highest inland lake in the world. About 750 kilometres long and 50 kilometres at its widest point. Water is crystal clear. Vision is to about 35 to 40 metres deep. If time and money was not a constraint I would like to stop over for a few days.
August 14. Arrive Moscow, at 3pm, transfer to hotel. 3 nights in hotel. Single room, with TV, Internet access and my very own toilet. Woohoo!
The hotel is just around the corner from Red Square. It is at a good price in comparison to others - Moscow can be an expensive city, from what I have read. I will find that out soon enough.
August 15. City tour at 10am - I don't remember what is organised, and I'll bet the tour guide's name is Boris, Ivan, Ivana, Sergey, Svetslana, Gregor or Tatiana!
August 16, free day in Moscow - I want to take a boat ride on the river through the city, a trip of about 90 minutes. It gives you a good look at the city and is apparently a pretty relaxing couple of hours. Then I want to have a drink in a seedy Russian pub that is frequented by ex KGB and Russian mafia, and while I'm doing this I won't dance with any of the women, I won't buy any watches and I hope to stay out of harm's way.
August 17. Free day in Moscow - will probably be nursing a hangover, however would like to see the Kremlin, Red Square (if I haven't already) and perhaps even the famed Moscow Circus, which is still regarded as one of the greatest shows on earth.
August 18. Depart Moscow 11pm, for Beijing via Trans Manchurian route (Siberia)
August 19. Crossing from Europe into Asia through the Ural mountains
August 20, 21, 22. Across Siberia. A long time on the train. A few stops along the way, but still a long time indeed, from the 18th to the 24th. Russian train carriage service as well. I am told not to expect anything too flash.
August 23. Across the Russian Far East
August 24. Cross border into China with another long stopover, due to changing of running gear. Then onwards to Harbin, which is by the way, one of the best cities in China to visit during the winter months. Even though it is significantly below zero all day, every day, the place has an annual ice festival where the whole place is full of many fantastically cut ice carvings. Harbin is turned into a winter wonderland place of magic. The hotels are all centrally heated, so inside isn't a problem. Harbin also has a big Russian influence, in terms of architecture, food and the like. The Harbin Beer is also very good. I like it muchly.
August 25. Arrive Beijing. two nights at Zhonghan hotel.
August 26. Beijing, maybe check out the Great Wall of China, again
August 27, 6pm. Overnight train to Yancheng (first class sleeper).
August 28, 6am. Home in Yancheng - probably have a coffee, unpack then sleep. If I have been responsible in regards to the consumption of alcohol, especially the Vodka, I will remember it all!
Total cost including visas for both Mongolia and Russia, train fares, hotels, excursions and additional spending, about 35000 RMB ($AUD5000), which I believe is pretty good value. I have had to take Euros with me as getting Russian roubles and Mongolian currency is not possible in Yancheng. Can change the Euros, if need be, in Russia.
The tour group that is helping with the arrangements called MonkeyShrine. These people have been doing the Trans Mongolian/Trans Manchurian/Trans Siberian trip for 20 years and have had about 20,000 people travel with them over the years.
Once in Moscow of course, it is easy to go anywhere in Europe. The train can go all the way from St Petersburg, then Moscow to Korea, via Vladivostok, Russia, with stop offs, stays and/or excursions to many places along the way.The Baikal lake area being one that I would have liked to have taken. By the way, you can buy anything for the right price in Vladivostok - submarines, nuclear weapons, AK47s, iPhones, Mickey Mouse Tee shirts, genuine fake Rolexes, real Vodka, brides, exotic animals, anything at all.
In Korea, you can take a ferry back to Vladivostok and then on to Japan. Two ports of call in Japan and then on to Shanghai. I am looking at the train to Vladivostok and doing the ferry trip at a later date. At around 10000 RMB for 10 days for the ferry plus the train fare and day or two on the train it seems a wee bit expensive but sounds like another great trip and in the long run will probably be reasonably good value. Perhaps next year? Or, when things cool down politically, I would like to take the train from Beijing to Lhasa, Tibet.
The beauty of traveling from here in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, China, is that everything is easy. Apart from the obvious language difficulties, all you do is just learn a few key phrases, hop on a train, domestic plane, boat or bus, and you're on your way! Asia, Europe, Africa, all by land, if you so wish.
Chat to you all when I get back.

Handsome Jed Athens passionately licks up and down Dylan Roberts well-formed gymnasts chest and abs, getting him worked up. Jeds tongue works down until he removes Dylans boxers. Dylans hefty, uncut cock pops out and Jed wraps his lips around it immediately. Jed gulps on Dylans meat and plays with his foreskin and balls, getting Dylan worked up considerably. Jed isnt only into Dylans cock, he wants his ass too, and he turns Dylan around so he can deliver an award-winning rim job to his willing partner. Jeds long tongue digs deep and Dylan moans and groans appreciatively with each stroke as his tasty ass gets a workout. Jeds huge cock is fully erect now and Dylan goes down on it to return the favor, slurping feverishly and deep-throating the hung stud with the wide cock. The sucking has Dylan edging and he squeezes a hot load, and Jed answers by emptying the contents of his balls onto Dylans chest.

The articles goes in vast detail to describe Suleimani's success at exporting terrorism across much of the world:
Suleimani has orchestrated attacks in places as far flung as Thailand, New Delhi, Lagos, and Nairobi—at least thirty attempts in the past two years alone. The most notorious was a scheme, in 2011, to hire a Mexican drug cartel to blow up the Saudi Ambassador to the United States as he sat down to eat at a restaurant a few miles from the White House. The cartel member approached by Suleimani's agent turned out to be an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. (The Quds Force appears to be more effective close to home, and a number of the remote plans have gone awry.) Still, after the plot collapsed, two former American officials told a congressional committee that Suleimani should be assassinated. "Suleimani travels a lot," one said. "He is all over the place. Go get him. Either try to capture him or kill him." In Iran, more than two hundred dignitaries signed an outraged letter in his defense; a social-media campaign proclaimed, "We are all Qassem Suleimani."
More troubling is reporting that claims Iran has claimed Iraq as a colonial state, and is shaking it down to fund the Assad government in the Syrian civil war:
The other main source of revenue for the Iranians is oil, officials say: Maliki's government sets aside the equivalent of two hundred thousand barrels of oil a day—about twenty million dollars' worth, at current prices—and sends the money to Suleimani. In this way, the Quds Force has made itself immune to the economic pressures of Western sanctions. "It's a self-funding covert-action program," the former senior intelligence officer said. "Suleimani doesn't even need the Iranian budget to fund his operations."

Thereĺs something gratifying when, in a fantasy world where Danny Woodhead (NE) could threaten to be the top fantasy running back for the week (he still finished tied for third in Week 10), the old and reliable fantasy studs come through and have great games.
Not good. Great.
Adrian Peterson (MIN) and Tony Gonzalez (ATL) have been among the best in their positions in fantasy football and real football for a while now. Tony G is 36 years old and heĺs the second-best fantasy tight end in the league.
Let that sink in for a second. I think fantasy observers at this point of the year have let the shock wear off, but what heĺs been doing has been nothing short of incredible.
Last week, Gonzalez was a top-10 fantasy player with 24 points in standard leagues Ś even better in PPR (points per reception) leagues.
Then thereĺs Peterson Ś Iĺm no longer convinced heĺs an cyborg; heĺs in fact an alien Ś who is No. 1 running back in fantasy after 10 weeks. People drafted him in the second round or later!
Itĺs just nice to see players be consistent in an otherwise volatile game known as fantasy football.
Underachieving ôstudsö
For all the old, reliable fantasy players, thereĺs the underachievers. The guys you had high expectations for but struggled to do great things on a more consistent basis.
Ray Rice (BAL) had 12 fantasy points against Oakland in Week 10. Oakland.
LeSean McCoy (PHI) had 10 points, Hakeem Nicks (NYG) and Mike Wallace (PIT) both had seven.
Wallace started the season well through four weeks, but has been off and on ever since. Nicks is the 55th ranked fantasy receiver in the league. McCoy is No. 11 and Rice is No. 5.
And sadly, Larry Fitzgerald (ARI) has been handcuffed by his own quarterback and is ranked No. 24 at his position, which is behind his own teammate Andre Roberts (ARI).
Itĺs not that these players have all been bad, but they surely havenĺt been great and great consistently.
Canĺt Wait! Waiver Wire Pickups
Last week was, unfortunately, Concussion Sunday for quarterbacks. Add in Ben Roethlisbergerĺs (PIT) shoulder injury and suddenly thereĺs a big market for backup QBs.
And seeing as there arenĺt very many options out there at running back, tight end and receiver, thatĺs about all you can hope for on the wire.
QB: Nick Foles (PHI), Jason Campbell (CHI), Colin Kaepernick (SF), Byron Leftwich (PIT)
RB: Chris Ivory (NO)
WR: Danario Alexander (SD)
Breakinĺ Bread List
I failed to mention Drew Brees (NO) regarding old, reliable players only because quarterbacks tend to be more prone to solid performances.
Page 2 of 2 - Itĺs harder for running backs and tight ends to be consistently great in a passing league.
That said, Brees has been great as usual this year. And the matchup against Oakland is just too good for Brees not to be on the list.
And I guess Iĺll go ahead and pick the top players in Thursdayĺs game too. I will say, from a fantasy standpoint, Reggie Bush (MIA) and CJ Spiller (BUF) do make this an interesting contest, especially since both have been doubted on whether or not they can be feature backs.
Yep. Thatĺs all I got.
QB: Drew Brees (NO) at Oakland, Ryan Fitzpatrick (BUF) vs. Miami
RB: Arian Foster (HOU) vs. Jacksonville, Reggie Bush (MIA) at Buffalo
WR: AJ Green at Kansas City, Brian Hartline (MIA) at Buffalo
The Purple Drank list Ś presented by Eli Manning (NYG)
Eli, Eli, Eli.
The number of times I just wrote the NY Giants quarterback is how many times heĺs finished with single-digit totals.
Manningĺs been absolutely awful lately. And thatĺs before Week 8, when this horrid trend began. Heĺs been pretty mediocre since the Cleveland game and hasnĺt scored more than 13 points since.
It gets worse. Manning has scored 10 points in the last three weeks. Five against Dallas, three against Pittsburgh and two against Cincinnati.
Some are blaming his performances on a dead arm. As for me, Iĺm blaming it on the Purple Drank.
QB: Blaine Gabbert (JAC) at Houston, Mark Sanchez (NYJ) at St. Louis

The Redskins suck. Move along, nothing to see here.
Robert Griffin: 'Anybody out there that's going after my dad needs to back up'
For any number of reasons, whatever Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III does these days is guaranteed to make news — and the slant on that news is rarely positive, whether reality fits the narrative or not. After a rookie season in 2012 where he was seen as the most exciting young quarterback to come down the pike in a good long time, Griffin has been befuddled by a second-year regression that has as much to do with the players around him as it does his own injury-hampered ability to grow as a pure passer.
When he tried to point that out after Washington's 24-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 17, the backlash hit Griffin's own locker room, as receiver Santana Moss wondered why Griffin wasn't taking more accountability for the team's troubles on offense. In the Redskins' 27-6 follow-up loss to the 49ers last Sunday, Griffin's offense was held without a passing or rushing touchdown for the first time in his college or pro career.
After that game, Griffin was visited by his father in the team's locker room, and that's where things started to get silly. As the parents of players aren't often seen in the most private of NFL environs, those most interested in the notion that Griffin is receiving preferential treatment had yet more ammo for their convictions. Robert Griffin II visited his son to talk about the game, and because he thought his son had been injured during the game — specifically, when he was kicked in the private parts by a San Francisco defender.
On Wednesday, Griffin III went on the offensive against those questioning the presence of Griffin II.
"He showed up, I was shocked that he was there, but he meant no harm," Griffin said, per John Keim of ESPN.com. "Anybody out there that's going after my dad needs to back up. That is my father. I will protect my family and he served 21 years in the military. I know that's not an excuse for anything that he does, but he's not overstepping his bounds. So I hope that people will respect that and back off.
"He asked me if I was OK and I said, 'Yeah, I'm all right.' And me and him just talked and that's it."
After the game, 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks opined that Griffin shouldn't even be playing at this point.
"He's obviously a man and he makes his own decisions, but I personally don't feel he should be playing right now," Brooks said. "You can see it. Everybody can see it, everybody can see it … He's a man, he has the heart of a warrior and is going to go out there and play regardless of the circumstance. Everybody can see it. Everybody can see it. He shouldn't be playing."
Griffin suffered multiple knee injuries in his rookie campaign and was prevented from working with his offense in the 2013 preseason as he recovered from surgery. He's been under fire on the field all season in Washington's relatively limited offense, and it would seem that defenders are catching up to what he's running.
Griffin seems to understand that this is part of the NFL, but when people started to question his father's intentions, he went off.
"I don't know what all has been said, I just know it hasn't all been positive. He wanted to do his fatherly duties and step in there to see if I was OK."
The 3-8 Redskins hardly resemble the team that recovered from a 3-6 mark in 2012 to win the NFC East. And the new element for Griffin is the kind of criticism that goes beyond the boundaries of the game. Unfortunately, in his case, that's part of the job — like it or not.
They need to put Kirk Cousins in for an entire game and so what happens. Cousins is an extremely competent quarterback. RGIII let his ego at the end of last year to lead to his injury. He should not have stayed in the last game after he was injured.
RgIII isn't "black" enough fo de medias--dey wants a "donovan".
The best thing he can do is get out of Washington!
Let's just stick to pure football issues, media over reaction and fan pro or con is ridiculous
Helicopter dads gonna hover. If RG III was truly injured, wouldn't it have been obvious? Don't they have trainers for that? What was dad gonna do for him that the trainers wouldn't? Way to make your kid look like a wuss.
Maybe they didnt want his dad to see them getting their steriod shots and Testosterone shots and then calling each other racial slurs, then dance around the room in dresses.
The only father who should be barred from that locker room is the offensive coordinator's.
OH GOD His dad visited him to make sure he was ok. What is this evil world coming to?
RG3 is a Class Act.
Why is this even a thing? The people whining about his dad being in the locker room have nothing better to complain about, I guess.
The Redskins ruined this kid. Sending him on pass patterns, calling running plays for him he had no business running in the NFL, playing him in the playoffs, and rushing him out there this year. I agree with Brooks, he does not look like the same player.
MIke Shanahan won NOTHING until he had both Elway and TD. And he has wrecked this kid and this kid's future.
Oh, and I'm a Cowboy fan.
Give the guy a break will you. He's been beaten into a pulp ... mentally as well as physically. He had an "I'm at a loss" look on his face late in the game. Sit him down and give him a chance to get it together again. He's very bright, he'll most likely work it out and be a franchise QB again. It's in the Skins best long term interest.
I'm with you RG III. Glad your dad can be a father. What's the deal. Cool if more people can care for their kids. Griffin is a great athlete; I'm a Cowboys fan and have a healthy respect. He'll be lighting up scoreboards for years to come. "Everyone can see that."
I have to think that the happiest people in the NFL, after seeing Washington/Griffin's problems this season, are the St. Louis Rams. The lower Washington finishes the better their pick. Jeff Fisher must be singing in his beer.
I guess in our macho world with our macho mindset it is bad to have a concerned father. Yes, I know, all of you parents would sit back and just wait for your injured son to call you because you are all macho. As the father of an former collegiate athlete I can tell you that my son was always macho, but his father didn't give a flip, if I thought he was hurt, as a father my first instinct was to make sure he was alright.
I have a clarifying question I need to ask Ahmad Brooks: "Can everybody see it?"
Oh, and "sophomore jinx" has been around for a long time.
Farrah is a typical journalist. College journalism is an extremely easy degree and students either come from wealthy parents or are lacking in intellect. A recent poll showed journalist to be 92% liberal democrats. Unfortunately sports writers are at the bottom and least paid. RGIII made the mistake of not denying his religion.
The skins have a severe lack of talent. Their O line is terrible except for Trent Williams. Their receivers are among the worst in the league. RGIII could be playing better, a lot better, but when you're running for your life and there are no open receivers, it's kind of tough to play well. Alfred Morris is the only bright spot on their offense. Plus, Jim Hazlett's defense is terrible which means the skins have to frequently abandon their running game.
RGIII isn't even the best 2012 NFL draft QB in his OWN division. Nick
Foles is, picked 86 spots behind him. Andrew Luck has his team in
playoff contention. Russell Wilson has the best team in the NFL. RGIII
is the runt of the 2012 NFL draft class right now. Let's see if he can
recover next year. But right now, he is no good. They should sit him out rest of year to heal up.
This is part of the process. Not every year is going to be like last year and not every year is going to be horrid. RG3 understands the most important part.....if you are going to be a QB in the NFL then you are going to get alot of blame for losses as well as the accolades for victory.
The idea that he shouldn't be playing is ludicrous........all young QBs need as much real gametime as possible to learn and progress. Benching him would serve absolutely no purpose.
Another example of the media exalting a celebrity/athlete/politician and then laying in wait to take them down. It's what the media lives for...
Everything this kid does now is being analysed and scrutinized... so his dad came in the locker room...big deal.
This is just his second year...he's being ridiculed for not measuring up to last years performance, which was extraordinary. So, lets see....had he not had that phenomenal 2012 and performed as a very promising rookie, would he be receiving all of this negative press? Guess he set expectations too high...
Yeah, he has a lot to learn both in his playing and also his character development...give him a chance for God's sake.
non-story. jourmalism overload as usual...
Hey, you guys, you're ignoring the obvious..... Ahmad Brooks isn't ignoring the obvious ~ he saw it up close and personal ~ I saw it via TV ~ the RGIII of 2013 isn't the RGIII of 2012 ~ and the culprit is Mike Shanahan, who allowed the RGIII of 2012 to play in the slop of a muddy field in the final minutes of a game already won.....That's vintage Shanahan ~ ride the QB to coaching glory, as he did in Denver and as he wants to do in Washington, DC ~ only now, he has an injured QB who can't carry Shanahan on his shoulders!!!
Why did security let him in the locker room? Does he have a pass? If he does then there is no issue. If not, then maybe there is. His 21 years in the military means absolutely nothing in this case, and was an insulting argument. In fact it goes to show that son knows his father was in the wrong.
The right answer: "If my father said what he did, I wish he hadn't. He's my dad, but I'm my own man."
Then again, it's clear that the second statement isn't true.
Forgot to add - you even MENTION my family in a negative light, I don't give a crap about the circumstances, and we will meet face to face.
@John337 Studies also show that many republicans fail to graduate with a degree of any type, and I am just going to assume from your simple minded post, that you are one of them. Have a happy Thanksgiving and please don't burn down the double wide cooking the turkey.
@jworsr I bet Elway would never give him a job.
@jworsr BINGO! When I read Brooks' comments, it struck me a just being honest; I did not think there was anything malicious or mere trash talking as is usually the case when players make comments about other teams and players.
An earlier post said "so his dad came in the locker room...big deal"... Well yes, it appears it was a big deal. If he appears to be getting preferential treatment, playing at the level he's playing at now, everyone should be wondering why? The whole Martin-Incognito situation was/is a violation of unwritten locker room protocol and we see how that has played out; you are either part of the T-E-A-M or you're not. When was the last time you heard of Archie walking into the locker room to see Eli or Peyton?
The NFL is full of "one year wonders" and so far, RGIII looks like he may be one of those. And let's not say anything about the knee. Even the hallowed Manning and Brady suffered serious injuries, but they have never suffered the type of self-inflicted wounds RGIII has.
And, I do agree that RGIII should be shut down for the season. If the Redskins truly view him as the cornerstone of their future, let him rest, rehab the knee and support his team from the sidelines. He came back very quickly from his injury, but had no time to work with the offense to start the season. There is plenty of blame to go around concerning the 'Skins miserable 2013 campaign so far. Sit RGIII, play Cousins and see what happens. The worst thing that could happen is the 'Skins continue with a sub-par season - which appears over now regardless. The best thing that could happen is Cousins plays great to the finish, RGIII comes back strong next year, and Cousins' trade value goes through the roof!
@Rickapolis shut up. He mentioned his time in the military as saying he respects his father's defense of the country and he will defend his father in return. it had nothing to do with "my father was in the military and can do whatever he wants". Try digesting information before you comment.
@MidwestGolfFan his father asked him if he was ok…what is there to hide? did you read the story?
@Tyler15 I don't think it was so much about family as it was that the guy had no business being in the locker room (And I'm assuming that RG2 does not have a pass, if he does there is no argument). The man didn't belong there. That it was a family member is irrelevant.
@Cool @John337 as most Liberals are typically arrogant and bigoted, you fit the bill to a tee. Yes...I'm a Republican and have a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology, a POST certificate from a Police Academy and I'm a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser who lives is in a upper end area of Palm Springs, California. I do believe in God, have multiple firearms and believe the progressive mind set is the bane of free world. Frankly....."many" Republicans and Democrats don't have degrees....so your point is without substance. Regarding the "simple minded" jab....seems a lot like the pot calling the kettle black kind of thing, based on your biased and uninformed response.
Yikes john, you sound like an idiot.
@ITATTRACTS Nonsense. He was acting as if his father had special privileges because he was in the military. I was with the government 35 years, does that give me access to any place that anyone else is not? Of course not. RGIII is spoiled and entitled and wants his family and friends to get the same treatment.
Sports Illustrated, not Yahoo. Typing is apparently not a strong point for me today
Sorry, type-o. United States government
Just out of curiosity when did sports.yahoo.com/nfl become a platform for political debate? I was sure this was to discuss sports, not the failures of the Unites States government.
@Mark20 @Fierceblues @Cool @John337 Idiotic political tags have no place here or anywhere else (with "progressive" an especially arrogant expression). We don't divide along major party lines -- the ruling class could care less about the party membership of the lawmaker being shown the carrot or stick. Instead, the fundamental divide is between those who want to control others and those with no such desire. Oh, and fire the coach, have the interim coach sit RGIII down, and give him an off-season to get better with a new offensive coordinator and a better supporting cast.
@Fierceblues @Mark20 @Cool @John337 Whatevs dude. Anyone who says "all liberals are arrogant and bigoted" is not worth spending time on, on a lovely Thanksgiving day. It's as bad as me saying that all conservatives are "arrogant and bigoted". I know many conservatives and some are actually not "arrogant and bigoted". LOL
@Mark20 @Fierceblues @Cool @John337 "progressive" in the case of society is not synonymous with making advances....rather it involves the destruction of values and mores, in which the nation was established. Progressive as it turns out is becoming more "socialistic"....thus the end result is a government that becomes"repressive"......and this I do not agree with.
@Fierceblues @Mark20 @Cool @John337 It's the opposite of progressive.
@Mark20 @Fierceblues @Cool @John337 clarify your comment.
@Fierceblues @Cool @John337 So then you prefer "regressive".

Washington, DC -
06/17/2012 - As Congress prepares to vote on a bill that would endanger some of America's last remaining old-growth national forests, an open letter from world-leading scientists raises serious concerns with the plan.Legislation sponsored by Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) and folded into the Conservation and Economic Growth Act (H.R. 2578) would convey to the Sealaska Corp. ownership of more than 100,000 acres of centuries-old trees and other biologically diverse stands in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, the core of one the world's largest temperate rain forests. The transfer is part of an effort to modify the outstanding claims that Sealaska has under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), passed by Congress in 1971. H.R. 2578, which also would roll back other fundamental environmental protections, including the Endangered Species Act, is expected to be considered by the House this week.The scientists' letter, coordinated by the non-profit conservation science organization Geos Institute, with support from the Pew Environment Group, is signed by E.O. Wilson, Pellegrino University Research Professor at Harvard University; Tom Lovejoy of George Mason University and the Biodiversity Chair at the H. John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics and the Environment; Stuart L. Pimm, Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology at Duke University; and 315 other prominent scholars. The letter cites a recent report by Audubon Alaska, which concludes that logging of America's most precious old-growth stands would increase twelvefold under the House measure."As scientists with professional expertise in conservation and management of natural resources, we are writing to express our serious concerns regarding Sealaska Corporation's proposal to acquire almost 65,000 acres (the equivalent of more than 100 square miles) of public land in the Tongass National Forest," the letter reads. "The vast majority of these lands would be subjected to clear-cut logging, including some of the most biologically rich, large-tree old-growth rainforest remaining on the Tongass. The Sealaska Corporation's proposal would enable further 'high grading' of the Tongass, a logging practice that disproportionately targets rare, big-tree old-growth forest." Congress banned the practice of high-grading in 1990.The 17-million-acre Tongass is the crown jewel of the National Forest System and one of the largest temperate rain forests in the world. More than 95 percent of the old-growth in the Lower 48 has been cut down.The proposal threatens not only old-growth stands but also would transfer up to 30 world-class hunting and fishing destinations now in the public domain to Sealaska. The Tongass is home to a nearly $1 billion salmon fishing industry.This month, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Undersecretary for Natural Resources Harris Sherman have confirmed that they are engaged in talks with Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, to permit Sealaska to modify its outstanding land claims under ANCSA. In May 2010, the Obama administration pledged to substantially decrease old-growth logging in national forests."This bill signals that many in Congress remain intent on rolling back fundamental public land protections, including those for America's last old-growth forests," said Jane Danowitz of the Pew Environment Group. "We call on members from both sides of the aisle to reject this measure. We also ask the Obama administration and those in the Senate, now attempting to come up with a solution to the corporation's outstanding land claims, to reject the House bill, and look for ways to address those claims while protecting the ancient forests."Sealaska is the largest of 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations established under ANCSA. It is a managed holding company with corporate subsidiaries and offices throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Europe.An Open Letter from Over 300 Scientists on Protecting the Tongass National ForestYour browser does not support iframes.

Item #: NOV3052
Shipping Outside of the US? Click Here for Details
FeaturesNovak has bred a micro brushless system: the Mongoose Micro Brushless System. This system includes the Novak Mongoose Brushless/Brush ESC factory-wired to one of three Novak Three-80 Micro Pro Brushless Motors. The Three-80 Micro Pro is the first sensor-based brushless motor that is specifically designed for 1/18 and 1/16-scale cars. Because it is sensored and lightweight, it gives these micro scale cars the ability to maneuver at high speeds in extremely tight spaces, all with unsurpassed low speed and braking control. The Mongoose�s Brushless/Brush ESC and sensored brushless motor are perfectly matched to maximize performance and handle with the agility and speed of a mongoose.
WHY SENSORED? Like the popular Novak Velociti brushless motors, the Three-80 Micro Pro motors feature a sensor commutation design. Knowledge of rotor position is key to smooth performance and is just as important in micro vehicles as in larger-scale vehicles. When the speed control always knows the rotor position, there is no hesitation before acceleration under load. The motor will provide excellent low-speed driveability, excellent starting torque, smooth braking and controlled bursts of power. Other motor features include a high-strength, Sintered Neodymium rotor for maximum motor acceleration and an oversized front bearing for increased load handling and bearing life, and a rugged 1/8" shaft diameter. Like all Novak brushless motors, the Three-80 Micro motors are rebuildable.
FULLY FEATURED ESC The Mongoose Micro Brushless/Brush ESC is a versatile, fully featured speed control specifically developed for micro applications. In addition to its compatibility with both brushless and brush motors, it instinctively knows via its Auto-Detect Brushed Mode when a brush motor is connected. Multiple throttle profiles are included for different driving styles, including a racing brushless profile for top-level forward performance and two profiles with reverse. Additional features of the Mongoose Micro ESC are its on-board programmability, built-in 2S & 3S Li-Po Cut-off Circuitry, heavy duty 6.0V/2A BEC and a water-resistant case.

Kappa Sigma was founded locally in 1969 as the first national social fraternity to be chartered at Tennessee Tech. The fraternity was created with the traditions of the past and dedication to the Pursuit of Learning. The Kappa Sigma Constitution and Oath set forth these very ideals. The diverse brotherhood of the Kappa Sigma chapter at Tennessee Tech is continually active in scholarship, intramural sports, community service, and social activities.
