What type of year did Bucs DE Adrian Clayborn have? Will Tampa Bay be looking to draft a DE in 2014? Which DEs will be on display at the Senior Bowl? Could the Bucs be targeting QB Derek Carr in the first round? Which speedy Big 12 WR would be an ideal fit in Jeff Tedford's offense? Get the answers and more inside scoop on the Bucs in this edition of SR's Fab 5.
SR's Fab 5 is a collection of inside scoop, analysis and insight from yours truly, Pewter Report publisher and Bucs beat writer Scott Reynolds. Here are a few things that caught my attention this week at One Buc Place:
Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano was in a quandary about what to do with defensive end Adrian Clayborn. Tampa Bay's first-round pick in 2011 struggled with playing multiple techniques as the right defensive end in Schiano's complex defense during the preseason and the first three games of the 2012 season. Coming off a rookie season in 2011 that saw him post 7.5 sacks and three forced fumbles, Clayborn posted just six tackles in three games before suffering a torn ACL that would sideline him for the remaining 13 games.
So the decision was made to make Clayborn the weakside defense, which lessened his load from a mental standpoint as it reduced the number of techniques he was responsible for playing. Instead of strictly lining up at right defensive end, Clayborn would always line up away from the tight end in 2013. But the position switch opened up another set of challenges in Schiano's mind as Clayborn would be forced to play both right and left defensive end.
Schiano was concerned that Clayborn's Erb's Palsy, which is a condition that Clayborn has had since birth, would negatively impact his play at left end where he would be forced to use his right arm, which is weak arm, to first engage right tackles. By playing the right defensive end position at Iowa and his first two seasons in Tampa Bay, Clayborn would first engage left tackles with his left arm, which is his strong arm.
While Schiano believed that Clayborn's Erb's Palsy is a big deal and came with some limitations, the defensive end has always downplayed his condition.
"Basically, it doesn't affect me on the field," Clayborn said shortly after he was drafted in April of 2011. "You can see that by the way I play if you watch the film. Certain things in the weight room I don't do, but if Mel Kiper and those guys wouldn't have pulled it up nobody would have known about it. It's not a big deal."
Playing left defensive end at times in Schiano's tweaked scheme would cause Clayborn to engage right tackles with his right arm, which is shorter than his left, and that would put him at a severe disadvantage. So to compensate, Clayborn and the coaches had him stand up in a two-point stance when playing left end like a "Jack" linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. That allowed Clayborn the space and leverage to get his left hand on the right tackle and use his strong arm for the initial punch.
"It got better as the season went along," Clayborn said of his new technique. "It was definitely a new thing kind of standing up and being an outside linebacker – kind of a hybrid. It was a change, but I think I kind of adapted well and grew as the season went on."
Clayborn finished the 2013 campaign with 64 tackles, a career-best 19 tackles for loss, six sacks and two forced fumbles. He ended the year with a bang at New Orleans with the best game of his career, notching a career-high 10 tackles, four tackles for loss and one sack. Four of Clayborn's sacks actually came from the left side of the defense.
"Standing up helped him out because he got some sacks this year," Bucs linebacker Adam Hayward said. "We had to re-learn some things because things changed, but once we get it down we'll be awesome."
With the head-coaching change in Tampa Bay, Schiano's defense is now long gone. Although Clayborn wasn't opposed to playing in Schiano's modified scheme, he's ready to play right defensive end on a full-time basis once more, which will take away any concerns about his Erb's Palsy again – although he was able to admirably battle through that condition in 2013.
"Can't wait to put my hand in the dirt full time again," Clayborn said on Twitter on January 1 when Lovie Smith was hired.
New Buccaneers defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier had some positive comments about Clayborn's abilities at his initial press conference in Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
"I want to continue to study him a little bit, he's one of those guys who, along with the rest of our roster, we are going to spend a lot of time evaluate and get a good feel for and make sure we do the right thing by him," Frazier said. "I remember him coming out of college when we were scouting him and had a lot of respect for his play at the University of Iowa, and I want to get a better feel for him as an NFL player, so we will continue to go through the tape and get an evaluation on him."
While much was made of the knee injuries that Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis and right guard Davin Joseph were coming off heading into the 2013 season, the way Clayborn rebounded from his torn ACL made it look like he was never injured at all.
"It wasn't the season I wanted," Clayborn said. "Every defensive end strives for that goal of being at the top of the league as a pass rusher. I didn't make that goal, but I think I had a pretty good season in terms of coming off an ACL."
Clayborn was limited with what he could do physically during the 2013 offseason, which was filled with rehab and learning how to play both left and right defensive end for Schiano. Now that he's fully healthy, Clayborn is looking forward to improving as a player and spending time working on his techniques and fundamentals for the 2014 season.
"With the offseason to be able to train and not worry about my knee and get better, it's going to be better than last offseason where I was more cautious and wasn't able to get much better," Clayborn said. "I didn't play too bad this year. Hopefully I can get a little better and get to where I want to be. I would say it's 100 percent, but I was doing the offseason work last year without focusing on getting better [just getting healthy]. It will be different this year."
New Buccaneers defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier spoke of the importance of four key components to the Tampa 2 defense during his press conference on Wednesday. Frazier said Tampa Bay already had two key components in place with All-Pros Gerald McCoy and Lavonte David manning the three-technique tackle and weakside linebacker positions, respectively.
The other two components were cornerback and a pass-rushing defensive end. The Bucs have one stud cornerback in Pro Bowler Darrelle Revis, and like the promise of Johnthan Banks, last year's second-round pick. Tampa Bay is expected to make a run at Chicago's Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman in free agency to give the team more experience and talent.
At defensive end, Frazier and defensive-minded head coach Lovie Smith inherit two solid players in starter Adrian Clayborn, who had six sacks and 19 tackles for loss coming off a torn ACL in 2012, and reserve Will Gholston, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound physical specimen that really came on strong during the second half of his rookie season and finished with a pair of sacks. Da'Quan Bowers, a second-round pick in 2011, has not lived up to expectations and the team has soured on him due to his work ethic.
Both Clayborn and Bowers are entering contract years, and Daniel Te'o-Nesheim likely won't return after a bad year, which means the Bucs will likely acquire a proven playmaking defensive end such as Cincinnati's Michael Johnson or Minnesota's Jared Allen in free agency, or use a high draft pick on an impact edge rusher. Frazier spoken about the importance of finding an impact pass-rushing defensive end that could team would Clayborn and Gholston in Tampa Bay.
"It's extremely important in our league today, with the way the league has really become a pass-happy league, for the most part, and the numbers when it comes to offensive statistics are off the charts," Frazier said. "So, you need someone who can rush the passer without always having to bring an extra guy. You need that guy who can beat the offensive tackle, or if they want to chip with a back you can find a way to get to the quarterback if you want to have a great defense.
"And in this system, you need that one guy, if you can find him. And they're sometimes rare to find, but we had one in Jared Allen. Lovie had one with [Julius] Peppers in Chicago, and it really makes a difference in our league if you find a guy that can rush the pass without blitzing all of the time."
If the Bucs don't pursue a proven, starting-caliber defensive end in free agency, the team may use its first- or second-round pick on an edge rusher in the draft. Buffalo outside linebacker Khalil Mack was thought of highly by the previous Bucs regime and is a popular pick in some recent mock drafts, including Mel Kiper's.
Mack would have to convert to defensive end to play in the Tampa 2 scheme, which doesn't value the strongside linebacker position much as the Bucs will be in nickel defense about 40 percent of the snaps, especially in the pass-happy NFC South division. At 6-foot-3, 247 pounds, the explosive Mack has the frame to add a few more pounds and play right end for the Buccaneers, as Tampa Bay legend Simeon Rice often played at 250-255 pounds in red and pewter.
While Mack, who played with Bucs defensive end Steven Means in college, has opted not to attend the Reese's Senior Bowl, there will be several prominent pass rushers that will participate, and PewterReport.com will be there to scout them next week in Mobile, Ala. Here's a look at the top 5 defensive end prospects for Tampa Bay that will showcase themselves in front of NFL scouts at the Reese's Senior Bowl:
Stanford DE Trent Murphy
The 6-foot-6, 261-pound Stanford defender lived in opposing backfields in 2013 with 21.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks, which led the nation, in addition to 58 tackles. That earned Murphy All-American and first-team All-Pac 12 accolades, but was somehow snubbed for the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, which went to Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton. Murphy is a long, angular pass rusher with a nasty streak and unheralded athleticism that saw him record 52.5 tackles for loss, 31.5 sacks, including 10 as a junior, three forced fumbles and a pair of interception returns for touchdowns in his Cardinal career. Here is
Murphy's highlight video.
Missouri DE-LB Michael Sam
At 6-foot-2, 255 pounds, Sam has the size and ability to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme or a weakside defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. Sam became an All-American and the SEC Defensive Player of the Year with 11.5 sacks and 18 tackles for loss. He ended his college career with a big sack and a forced fumble that was returned for a touchdown against Oklahoma State in Missouri's Cotton Bowl win. Sam had 26 tackles for loss, 18.5 career sacks, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, including two for touchdowns, and two interceptions in his Tigers career. Here is
Sam's highlight video.
Arkansas DE Chris Smith
Playing in a conference with the likes of Sam and South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney, Smith was overshadowed a bit, but had a fantastic career at Arkansas. Smith recorded 116 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, 20.5 sacks and a forced fumble. In 2012, Smith had 52 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks and a forced fumble. The 6-foot-2, 268-pound Smith has a wide array of pass rush moves, but has trouble re-directing and finishing at times. Here is
Smith's highlight video.
Louisville LB-DE Marcus Smith
Like Sam, Smith has the frame to add a little more size to become a 4-3 edge rusher but he is perfectly built to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, which is what he played last year. In 2013, the Louisville star was an All-American Conference performer and recorded 16.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks, which was the second-highest total in the nation. Smith is a long, lean athlete with good speed and resembles UCLA's Anthony Barr in terms of size and playing style, although Smith might have a higher motor. He notched 31 tackles for loss, 22 sacks, eight forced fumbles and one interception in his Cardinals career. Here is
Smith's highlight video.
North Carolina DE Kareem Martin
At 6-foot-6, 265 pounds, Martin is a very good athlete with NFL size. He had 78 tackles, 20 tackles for loss and 11 sacks as he really came on as a senior, and finished his Tar Heels career with 174 stops, 44 tackles for loss and 19 sacks. A three-year starter, Martin won't be overwhelmed with the Senior Bowl atmosphere and really has a chance to increase his draft stock, which is at the third-round level right now. Here is
Martin's highlight video.
Derek Carr was six years old when his older brother, David, began working with Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford, who had that role at Fresno State University. Sixteen years later, Tedford has the chance to coach Derek, who shattered all of David's records, Trent Dilfer's records – and yes, even Tedford's recor at Fresno State – if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers make the best quarterback in the Bulldogs' history the team's first-round pick.
Carr, whose skills will be on display next week at the Senior Bowl, is expected to be the fourth quarterback selected in the first round behind Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and Central Florida's Blake Bortles, and could be available when Tampa Bay picks with the seventh overall selection. But that could change with an impressive week in front of NFL scouts in Mobile, Ala. Carr will have the chance to elevate his draft stock from the top 10 to the top 5 by competing in practice and in next week's Senior Bowl game. The Senior Bowl could provide Carr with an advantage over juniors like Manziel and Bortles, who are fighting to be the second quarterback prospect behind Bridgewater and have played their final down of college football prior to the 2014 NFL Draft.
The Buccaneers already have a young quarterback on the roster in Mike Glennon, who broke several franchise records in 2013, including passing yards (2,608) and touchdowns (19), in addition to setting the NFL record for most pass attempts in his first four starts (181). But there are some concerns about his lack of mobility and his play in the month of December when his completion percentage, yardage and touchdown passes took a nosedive to end the season.
Glennon was drafted by former head coach Greg Schiano and general manager Mark Dominik, both of whom were fired at the conclusion of Tampa Bay's 2013 season in which the team finished with a disappointing 4-12 record. With Lovie Smith taking over as head coach and a new general manager coming soon, Glennon's number of allies at One Buccaneer Place has greatly diminished, and the new regime may want to draft their own quarterback.
Tedford's familiarity with Carr may be the key to him becoming a Buccaneer.
"I know one thing having coached David, his brother," Tedford said in 2011. "I know the passion that Derek has for football. He's grown up in a family of football, around a guy like David Carr, who's had a great career. So I know he has a great deal of passion for the game. He's a great competitor and he has a lot of skill."
When he was still the head coach at the University of California, Tedford beat Carr in the 2011 season opener of Carr's sophomore campaign. Carr completed 21-of-33 passes (63.6 percent) for 150 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Bulldogs' 36-21 defeat at the hands of the Golden Bears. He would finish the 2011 season completing 62.6 percent of his passes for 3,544 yards with 26 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
The next year, Carr improved and completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 4,104 yards with 37 touchdowns and seven picks. In 2013, Carr capped off a record-setting senior season at Fresno State, completing 453-of-659 passes for 5,082 yards with 50 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. He finished his Bulldogs career as the school's most prolific passer with 12,842 yards, 113 touchdowns and only 24 interceptions.
There are plenty of quarterbacks each year from Hawaii and Texas Tech that put up gaudy passing statistics that aren't good pro prospects. But what makes Carr special is a unique skill set that is found in another former Tedford pupil, Aaron Rodgers, who played at Cal from 2003-04. Like Rodgers, Carr has a slight build, but a big arm, a great football intellect, good mobility and an incredible amount of savvy.
The potential good news for Buccaneers fans is that Carr had one of his worst games in his final bowl game, a 45-20 loss to a star-studded USC team in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl. Carr threw for just 217 yards, his second-lowest output of the season, with two touchdowns and one interception while completing 29-of-54 passes.
That game somewhat tempered NFL scouts' enthusiasm for him. Carr is still regarded as a first-rounder and a potential top 10 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. However, better bowl performances by Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and Central Florida's Blake Bortles currently have those quarterbacks rated ahead of Carr and viewed as potential Top 5 players.
After the bowl game, Carr displayed great leadership when he took the blame for Fresno State's loss to USC.
"Blame me," Carr said after the loss. "Blame me always. Don't blame anybody else. I've got to do a better job leading. I've got to do a better job of getting our guys in better spots. That's my fault. Blame me."
Carr will get one more shot at a bowl game in one week as he is expected to be the starting quarterback for the South team in the Reese's Senior Bowl. A good showing at the Senior Bowl could put him in position to pass Bortles and possibly become the third quarterback off the board on May 8.
Carr leaves college with 25 Fresno State and 21 Mountain West Conference records. Prior to the Bulldogs' loss to the Trojans, Fresno State ripped off 10 straight wins to start the season, including a 41-40 victory over Boise State, the school's first win over the Broncos in eight years, and a Mountain West Conference championship with a 24-17 win over Utah State.
"Anytime you go up against an athlete like Carr it is a great challenge," Utah State defensive back Brian Suite said. "He can stretch the field with his arm, and I believe people do not give him enough credit for being a great athlete in the pocket. His best weapon is his head."
Carr has been a great leader for the Bulldogs and a fine role model in the Fresno State community due to his impeccable character. He's mature for his age and is already married and has a son, Dallas, who was born with twisted intestines and had to have multiple surgeries as a newborn. Here's a
touching video report that gives some insight into Carr's family life and maturity.
Carr is a devout Christian, and that aspect cannot be overlooked, as Bucs head coach Lovie Smith is also a strong man of faith, even though he may not be as publicly vocal as his mentor, Tony Dungy, is about his religious views.
"The reason I do what I do is because of the Lord my God," Carr said at the National Football Foundation awards ceremony. "I want to continue to reach out to young kids about the mistakes I've made. That's the main reason I play football."
Carr's familiarity with Tedford, his experience playing in a pro-style offense, his character, mobility, big arm and football I.Q. are all the main reasons why the Buccaneers will be excited to scout and interview the Fresno State star in Mobile, Ala. and perhaps consider making him the team's first-round pick. Here's
a highlight video of Carr's 2013 season
, and an
incredible trick shot video
that is worth checking out, too.
New Bucs offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford used the term "speed in space" three times during his initial press conference in Tampa Bay, and it's clear that the team needs to get faster on offense.
"When I say speed in space, to get outflanked and get guys in the open field that can make guys miss and be explosive with big plays," Tedford said when describing the type of speed he wants in his skill position players.
Wide receiver Vincent Jackson was the Bucs' leading receiver in 2013 with a career-high 78 receptions for 1,224 yards and seven touchdowns, but his yards per catch average of 15.7 was down from 19.2 in 2012. Tiquan Underwood actually led the Bucs in yards per catch average with 18.3 yards, which was a product of his 24 catches for 440 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, including a personal-best 85-yard touchdown at Detroit. Underwood, an unrestricted free agent in 2014, is the Bucs' fastest receiver, but has some limitations to his game from a physical and route-running standpoint, and may not return to Tampa Bay.
The Bucs missed Mike Williams for most of the year as the receiver suffered a torn hamstring that forced him to the injured reserve list shortly after the bye week. Williams is set to return in 2014, but like Jackson, he's not a burner and makes most of his big plays downfield by out-leaping defenders for the ball in jump ball situations.
With Jackson and Williams the only sure things at wide receiver in Tampa Bay, the Bucs need an infusion talent and speed to give Mike Glennon – or whoever the quarterback is in 2014 – some big-play weapons to throw the ball to. One player the Buccaneers should be scouting hard at the Senior Bowl is Baylor wide receiver Tevin Reese.
While Tedford had success with bigger wide receivers at California like Marvin Jones, who is 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, and Keenan Allen, who is 6-foot-2, 211 pounds, Reese is only 5-foot-10, 170 pounds. But Tedford's best receiver for the Golden Bears was DeSean Jackson, who stood just 5-foot-10, and weighed 170 pounds, too.
Reese does not have Jackson's suddenness, short-area quickness or clutch hands, but he has pure speed and has been electronically timed as low as 4.31 at Baylor, and is believed to be the Bears' fastest player. Reese's speed is evident in his gaudy statistics.
Overshadowed a bit by junior Antwan Goodley, who led the Bears with 71 catches for 1,339 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2013, Kendall Wright, a first-round pick by Tennessee in 2011, and Terrance Williams, a third-round draft pick in 2012 by Dallas, Reese still made a huge impact at Baylor and saw his yards per catch climb each year. As a freshman, he caught 45 passes for 401 yards (8.9 avg.) and two touchdowns before having a breakout sophomore year with 51 receptions for 877 yards (17.2 avg.) and seven scores.
Reese nearly had a 1,000-yard season in 2012 with a career-high 53 catches for 957 yards (18.1 avg.) and nine touchdowns before averaging 22.8 yards per catch on 38 receptions for 867 yards and eight touchdowns as a senior. Reese missed the final five games of the 2013 regular season with a wrist injury. Reese returned for the Fiesta Bowl where he caught five passes for 43 yards against UCF in Baylor's 52-42 loss.
Projecting Reese's totals had he not missed five games due to a broken wrist, he was on pace to record 61 receptions for 1,408 yards and 13 touchdowns. The speedster, who mostly lined up in the slot prior to his senior year where he split time as a wide receiver, finished his collegiate career with 187 catches for 3,102 yards and 24 touchdowns. With an amazing 23 catches of 40 yards or more in his Baylor career, including 10 from 60 yards, Reese has the speed and big-play ability the Bucs are craving in Tedford's offense.
"He's a freak athletically," Baylor tight end Jordan Najvar said. "He's the freakiest freak we have. I'll be training with him and Michael Johnson in Dallas. If you don't get a hand on him he'll run by you so easily. I don't think there are many people in the league as fast as he is, and he might be the fastest player in the draft. He'll run by you and he'll break you down with his cuts. Whoever gets him is going to be lucky. He can make plays and he doesn't let his size get to him. He plays like he's 6-foot-4, 220 (pounds).
Not only is Reese fast, he can jump, too. The athletic freak's personal best in the vertical jump was 45 inches, which is also the best at Baylor. If Reese can do a better job of catching the ball cleanly and really work the route tree in Mobile, proving that he is more than a receiver that can run go routes and bubble screens, he'll improve his draft stock from the sixth or seventh round to the middle rounds.
Here are two Reese highlight videos,
one of him in action as a slot receiver
against Missouri and Kansas State in 2011, and lighting up
K-State's defense in 2013
with five catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns, including a 93-yard score.
Here are a few things to hold you over until the next edition of SR's Fab 5:
• Don't be surprised if the new Bucs regime puts the full court press on signing Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen in the offseason. Allen is just three years removed from his 22-sack season, and posted 11.5 sacks and two forced fumbles last year. Tampa Bay's defense desperately needs a proven pass rusher in the Tampa 2 scheme that Leslie Frazier and Lovie Smith with use.
Frazier was Allen's defensive coordinator and head coach in Minnesota, and that connection could pay off in the Bucs' favor. Throw in the fact that Allen's agent, Ken Harris, is based in Tampa, and it only increases the odds of Allen considering suiting up in red and pewter.
"We have a great relationship; I have a lot of respect for Jared as a player, and as a man," Frazier said when asked about Allen in his initial press conference in Tampa Bay. "He did a lot to help me when I was a defensive coordinator, without question. I have a lot of respect for him and we will see what happens with his future.
"That will be something for our GM and our head coach to decide, I share whatever input I can, but they will have to make those decisions regarding our personnel."
• New Tampa Bay strength coach Dave Kennedy should be able to give the Buccaneers plenty of insight into Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and wide receiver Mike Evans, as he was the Aggies' strength and conditioning coach from 2008-13. Kennedy has a sterling resume with 13 years as Ohio State's strength and conditioning coach from 1989-2001 where he helped produce 17 NFL first-round picks. New Buccaneers head coach Lovie Smith was the Buckeyes linebackers coach in 1995 and met Kennedy at Ohio State. After his stint with the Buckeyes, Kennedy spent two years at Pittsburgh (2002-03) and then four seasons at Nebraska from 2004-07 running their strength and conditioning programs.
• Although new Buccaneers offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford has a previous relationship with Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr through coaching his brother, David, at Fresno State, Tedford also a connection with a current Tampa Bay quarterback. Jordan Rodgers is the brother of Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers, who was coached by Tedford at California in 2003-04. Rodgers spent most of the 2013 season on the Bucs practice squad and was re-signed to a future contract for 2014 in the first week of January. It will be interesting to see how Tedford and quarterbacks coach Marcus Arroyo develop the athletic and intelligent Rodgers this offseason.
• Bucs nose tackle Akeem Spence certainly did not help himself by getting arrested for speeding and marijuana possession. While he will likely get a second chance by new head coach Lovie Smith and won't be released, the buzz at One Buccaneer Place is that the Bucs want to get more of a pass-rushing nose tackle like they had back in the day with Brad Culpepper and Anthony "Booger" McFarland playing next to Warren Sapp. Culpepper had 33 sacks in Tampa Bay, including 8.5 sacks in 1997 and a team-high nine sacks in 1998. McFarland had 22 sacks in eight seasons in Tampa Bay, including 6.5 in 2000 and 3.5 in 2001 while playing nose tackle. Spence had just one sack during his rookie season after recording just 3.5 sacks in three years at Illinois, and may be viewed as a two-down, run-stuffing nose tackle by defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and the front office.
One player the Bucs may be targeting in the second round is Pittsburgh All-American Aaron Donald, who notched 29.5 sacks and an astounding 66 tackles for loss in four year with the Panthers. While he played the three technique tackle at Pitt, the 6-foot, 285-pound Donald is cat-like quick and could be used as a pass-rushing nose tackle next to Gerald McCoy on obvious pass-rushing downs to bolster Tampa Bay's pressure up front.
With the three technique defensive tackle position so vital to the Tampa 2 scheme, and the cupboard bare behind McCoy, who is entering a contract year in 2014, targeting Donald in the second round would make a lot of sense. Donald, who is long arms and an enormous wingspan, is the closest thing I have seen to Sapp in terms of quickness. Check out the
highlight video of the Bronko Nagurski Award winner.
• One of the players that I'll be scouting with great interest at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. next week is Baylor guard Cyril Richardson. The 6-foot-5, 340-pound road-grader, who was an All-American, the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year and an Outland Trophy finalist, conjures up images of Bucs left guard Carl Nicks in his prime.
"He's a freak," Baylor tight end Jordan Najvar said. "I've never seen the guy get beat. If you are in a one-on-one with him I feel sorry for you. He's played left tackle and left guard. He's a mauler. He can play a lot of positions. He's going to be a great pick up for whoever gets him. The guy just wins and he's a freak athlete. I think he's the best offensive lineman in the nation. He has great feet. He's fast and quick, especially for a guy his size. The film speaks for itself."
Richardson is currently viewed as the best guard in the 2014 NFL Draft and could likely be a late first- or early second-round pick. With a great week in Mobile, his stock could rise into the top 15. Here is a
video of Richardson against Texas in 2012.

Evan: Great to hear from a young Bucs fan from my home state of Pennsylvania. Those Steeler and Eagle fans can be brutal. We Buccaneer fans don't have much to brag about this year. But there's an old saying you might use when confronting your friends. "The sun don't shine on one dog's butt forever." When I lived in Pittsburgh back in the 60's, the Steelers were a laughing stock. The Eagles need only remember "the pick" in the 2002 season NFC Championship game. I know you weren't born yet. Ask your dad. But he just might get chocked up remembering the greatest play in Bucs history.

I also think the Bucs should draft O line heavy, but I also think we should look for some F.A. vets who can help a young Q.B. more. Penn's a turnstile, Nicks is done, Zuttah is average at best, and Joseph hasn't dominated in forever.

Please please please use a minimum 2 of our top 3 picks on the offensive line. I'm in this for the long term. Lovie (assuming he doesn't get run off early by the Glazers) is in it for the long term. You build from within to win for the long term. You take fliers on skill positions if you are only looking for a short term fix. ----- Regardless of whether you want us to draft a QB this yr (which would be idiotic given the high risk of a bust and the laundry list of other needs) or go with Glennon and Rogers (strongly support this based on his upside, IQ, decent and at times very impressive play during a yr full of turmoil, the need to install/learn a complex new offense and the fact we are paying 3rd round $) we will be working with a young QB next season. Draft OL talent to give him time to throw (something you'll notice the QBs on playoff teams almost always have) and avoid getting shell shocked and happy feet. ----- We need to draft 4 OL starters, spread over two drafts if we must, but it should be our top priority. This is one of the risks of hiring Tony Dungy Jr, Lovie may not understand or emphasize offense enough to see the need to draft for OL vs DL. DL is not great (after all of Dom & Hickeys wasted picks) but sadly in better shape than on OL (after D&H's poor FA signing and gen'l neglect). In it to win it - for the long term. Go Bucs!

You can't pick a QB at 26 if you draft at 7 but hey once you get past 10 or 15 a good QB may slide to you in the 2nd , so either you do some trading up or down or your taking a QB in the first or second barring some other unforeseen scenario.
January 18, 2014

Agree with Kind, if you're talking about the 7th pick in the draft pick a player you know will be able to play the position you're drafting him for. Big gamble for a new H.C., and G.M., to use the 7th pick on a Q.B. like Carr. His brother had more talent and you can still get him for some loose change, and a box of cracker jacks! Just because we pick so high doesn't mean we have to draft a Q.B. now. Look how many Q.B.'s like A Rogers dropped to the bottom of the first round. Bortles is the only Q.B. I'd take at 7. He's the only one I see who has the size, arm, and mobility needed to be successful.

Saw on NFLN that Hickey is interviewing for the Dolphins GM spot and that Marc Ross and Jason Licht are the two favorites for our GM job.

Oh boy where to start!! Lovie don't make your first mistake ,cut Spence now ,anybody this wreckless with a new staff coming in is a complete idiot and is clearly going to be a negative locker room team guy .Moving forward he isn't much of a player at this pointe, can be replaced or upgraded for 1.5 mil In FA or Bowers can take half his snaps in this D anyway.Cut Spence Now!! Why is Dom gone because there is already talk of drafting Spences replacement to get more pass rush and this is why Dom Drafted him instead of other options that were avail. Well that is yet another draft pick and another year you are behind as your roster ages and contracts expire.Lets make one thing very clear the Bucs are Drafting a QB in the first round or will be involved in a second round trade up scenario ,Trade, or some unforeseen QB upgrade,if not Lovie will more than likely be gone in three years,Period!! Plain and Simple!! Don't be surprised to see Romo in a Bucs Uniform ,that's a crazy reach but what the heck anybody can speak after the fact.Now Revis RevisRevis , Dom did it with this one , Oh I Know its one year deals and if ya cut him you won't take a cap hit !well Bull Sht !! The team is out draft picks which in today's world is Cap Insurance ,first round picks are cap gold as are all picks for good drafting teams.Good First round Picks are again Cap Gold I can't begin to explain the the importance of these picks much more so than years ago due to the Rookie Contract situation. First off Revis was no better than Sean Smith and prob made fewer big plays than smith last year,Revis clearly wasn't the player that Brent Grimes was. Well both these players together are so much more valuable to a D than single Revis it's not even open for debate and then we get into the long term effect of the 16 Mil cap hit and how it affected your signings last year and in a deep FA pool of Talent for very below Market Dollars.RevisRevis Revis Moving forward well I don't think he can stay at 16 mil and there prob isn't a team out there that would give you a first for him with that cap hit and that equals a bad deal.So if the bucs cut Revis are they better off ?I say Yes!! Now if Revis is cut which I Don't think there is a chance of ,what would his value be on the Open Market ,I say 10 to 12 Mil and depending on the league Cap situation and his performance last year it may be less.What to do ,well his contract or contracts have to be redone ,first off he didn't even come close to earning half his contract last year,second off he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.So Lovie and New GM Call him In and get it done sooner than later I don't think this team can get to where it needs to be with his 16 mil cap number, remember Grimes is just as good at 5 mil and was better last year.This team can sign two or three pro bowl type talents wherever needed or four or five real good players for his cap number.Revis was a terrible move considering the picks and Cap number .This is a fixable situation and Revis can be a big part of this team but he's gonna have to eat some pride.

Good to know A. C. was able to get through this season injury free. Another upside is he got to play both ends of the defensive line and he wants to get better at both assignments. He's putting in more time working techniques with GMC

Bortles is the only 1st round QB I would like to see in Pewter and Red. Carr's video showed his reckless abandon on rushes and lateness on his throws. Not a great combo in the NFL. Also, he did not appear as thick as some of the more durable athletic QB's like Cam Newton or Andrew Luck. There should be other great options at 7 and the Bucs should not reach and miss on a 1st round QB not named Bortles.

macabee... Agree. would not be shocked if they picked up a Mike LB and moved Foster as he has problems in coverage.
January 17, 2014

Good read Scott... FAB 2 Picking Mack in the first round IMHO is a waste of a pick. To pick a player that is built to play as a 3-4 LB and hoping he will grow into a top DE is a chance that we should not take. Picking a player in the first round and hoping he will grow into a position you want him to play does not equate to a first round pick. That is called a Reach. FAB 3... Another QB from Fresno St. I think I'll pass as I still remember Dilfer and not in a good way.. FAB 4..Reese sounds like so many small receivers we have drafted ( Ridell Anthony, J. Green and Jackson ) they were all speed but did not make it in the NFL. FAB 5... Allen sounds like a good FA but only as a stop gap until we can draft a top DE. Aaron Donald sounds like someone we could use. ... Sounds like this coaching staff has their work cut out for them to make this team the way they want it. Seems like they are not to happy with the drafts we have had with Dominik and crew. This brings us back to why is Hickey still here? Hope the new GM moves on from Hickey.

Aaron Donald is a beast! That dude absolutely blew up O-linemen. Pairing him with GMC would be a major matchup problem.

I can see that the new staff has many ways to go.But if they get the veterans thru FA and draft down in rd-2.and pickup a 3rd rd also Tampa will be ready for 2014.I will also be READY GO BUCS

Scott, Frazier's exact words were "The defensive tackle and weakside linebacker along with the pass rusher and a corner that can tackle as well as cover will really help to solidify this defense, and you need a Mike (middle) linebacker than can function as well, but we have two pieces in place with Gerald and Lavonte, and that gives you a chance now to add to some of those other areas." While nobody asked about Mason Foster, Frazier didn't single him out either as he did McCoy and David. I might be reading too much into this but I think Foster may be going back to Sam as he played at UWA. I'm thinking you should add a Mike LB to your shopping cart also!

Starting college, meeting new people and living on your own for the first time can be both an exciting and terrifying experience for freshmen. Universities are trying to help quell concerns and ease the transition through the use of social media – specifically, colleges create Facebook groups for newly-admitted students that allow incoming freshmen and transfer students to join and interact with one another.
Every year, my school starts a group for in the incoming fall class and allows RAs, freshmen orientation leaders and current college students to join as well so that fall freshmen can get to know each other and current students before the academic year starts. New students ask current students about what kind of classes they should take, get advice on professors and find out what they should and shouldn't bring with them for their dorm rooms.
Unlike your average campus tour, these groups allow students to ask questions about anything and everything. Students can use these groups to find out who will be living in their dorm hall, what to expect during freshmen orientation week, find people who have similar interests (intramural sports, dance company, etc.), voice concerns about class registration and ask questions that they can't get answered anywhere else.
So if you are a newly-admitted college freshman, I suggest you join one of these groups and take advantage of the opportunities it presents. Use this medium to meet people, ask questions and to try to get a feel for how student life is going to be at the school.

Earlier this month, The Princeton Review released its annual list of the best 300 professors in the nation. The teachers were chosen because of the impact they have made on the lives of their students and that got me thinking: What exactly makes a professor good...and, conversely, what makes you not want to go to certain professors' classes?
First, the good stuff. Teachers who seem to genuinely care about their students always get high marks in my book. The teacher I had for English 101 and 102 seemed every bit as interested in what I wrote outside of the classroom as the essays I wrote for class. He even invited me to read some of my poetry at his community poetry club meeting (an event not affiliated with the school) and he even met my family at the bookstore one night, saying he always enjoys getting to meet the families of his students.
Next are the teachers who have a passion for and connection with their work. My Spanish teacher was not Hispanic but she and her husband had served as missionaries in Buenos Aires for 20-something years. She would often share her personal stories with us about living in a different culture with a different language than what she had grown up with. That experience proved just as valuable as being a native speaker.
Now what causes students to give their teachers bad reviews to their peers and on sites like RateMyProfessors.com? The bottom line is respect. It's not about how difficult their tests are or whether they'll let you cite online sources in your research papers – how professors treat their students makes all the difference. Teachers who talk down to or argue with their students or the ones who seem indifferent and treat their work like it's just a job are ineffective.
What do you think? On your personal list of the best professors you've ever had, who makes the grade and why? Comment below and let us know!

While many colleges and universities – specifically public ones – are cutting back on faculty, the University of Connecticut is putting its shears in storage: President Susan Herbst has announced plans to add 275 new faculty members to the university's flagship campus in Storrs over the next four years.
According to Gwendolyn Bradley, senior program officer for the American Association of University Professors, UConn's hiring strategy runs counter to the approach many schools are taking, as they are still reeling from the recession and looking to limit costs wherever possible but to Herbst, expanding the faculty is vital to the university's future success. "The goal is to improve the quality of education by reducing class sizes and enabling professors to spend more time with our students. We also want to increase the number of courses offered so that our students never have to wait to take a course. We want our students graduating on time," she said. Research is also important to UConn but the focus will be on hiring faculty who both teach and conduct research, depending on the field of study.
The hiring of 65 faculty members – with particular emphasis in the fields of genomics, education, health insurance and finance – will begin this fall, followed by another 90 by the fall of 2013; as a result, the student-to-faculty ratio is expected to decline from the current 18-to-1 to 15-to-1 in four years. You can read the rest of the details here – thoughts from any current or future Huskies?

Ah, the college application essay: where a student can give admissions officers insight into the person they really are (in about 500 words) that the standard transcript can't provide. While some schools rely heavily on the document in their admissions processes, others don't require it at all – a discrepancy that has experts debating its future.
Admissions officers and college counselors discussed application essays and personal statements at length yesterday at the Harvard Summer Institute on College Admissions and according to an article in The Chronicle, counselors are citing essays as burdens on overworked admissions staffs as often as they are questioning their authenticity. Gone (or disappearing) are the days where a great essay can help a borderline student gain admission to their dream schools: Top institutions like Brown are giving them less weight than it has in past admissions cycles – "A spectacular essay can raise more questions than it answers," said dean of admission Jim Miller – and some schools are requiring applicants to submit copies of graded written work to use as a barometer. What do the students think? Sure, crafting compelling prose comes as naturally to some college applicants as breathing or blinking but Martin Bonilla, director of college counseling at the College Preparatory School in Oakland, Calif., has found that the essays cause his students more stress than any other part of the application.
Do you believe the essay component of the college application is on its way out or here to stay?

One of the best ways for a student to learn something is to teach it. This is an ideology that many professors use by assigning students projects in which they must demonstrate something to their classmates. When these projects expand to outside the classroom and become open for any students to attend, it becomes a seminar and an opportunity for other students to learn something.
Student-run seminars are growing in popularity because they allow students an access to knowledge and allow other students to hone their teaching and presenting abilities. At SJSU, the College of Social Sciences hosts "COMM Week" – five days devoted to projects presented by students in seminars that are open for all students to attend. Professors in the communications department give students guidelines and the students have the entire semester to conduct research for their presentations. An example of one project was to design and market an app for a smartphone. Students conducted research on what apps were profitable and how to sell their app and then proceeded to create interfaces, pamphlets and websites to promote their ideas. (A few students even turned their innovative ideas into career opportunities, as these projects were presented at a trade show with investors from different companies.) Another project included conducting a training workshop for students to assist them learning something such as presenting, networking and other skills valued by employers. Companies pay trainers to teach employees different procedures and policies within a company so really, the students who were successful with their seminars could continue to train as a form of work.
Whenever students ask when or how they will use something they learned in the classroom in the real world, they should know that what they learn in school gives them skills to use in life after college. Any of these or other school projects can even be used to jumpstart a career!
Radha Jhatakia is a communications major at San Jose State University. She's a transfer student who had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.

After giving up a night out with your roommates so that you can write a research paper worth one-third of your grade, you would probably be devastated if your teacher flagged your work for plagiarism. Punishment for plagiarism ranges from a warning or receiving a 0 on the paper to failing the course or being expelled from the college. Your chances at graduating from college should never be put in jeopardy because of plagiarism and here are a few tips to help you avoid it.
I have seen fellow classmates get into trouble because of plagiarism – depending on the severity of it, even one instance of plagiarism can potentially ruin an otherwise stellar academic career – and they realized it is never worth the risk to cheat when you can easily be caught.

Whether your career aspirations include a large salary, a flexible schedule or an ethical employer, it's up to you to turn those dreams into realities. Sure, high marks in your major classes, several internships and glowing recommendations from members of your field are excellent additions to your portfolio but that's not all you can do to secure the job you desire most. Here are a few suggestions from U.S. News & World Report:

Liberal arts students have a reputation for being a bit quirky and colleges catering specifically to these majors are no exception. Carleton College, Naropa University, Grinnell College and Deep Springs College are four such institutions renowned for their unique extracurricular activities, majors and more.
Besides being ranked the sixth-best liberal arts college by U.S. News and World Report, Carleton College is also famous for its unique extracurricular activities. For instance, students have organized multiple scavenger hunts for the bust of German playwright Friedrich Schiller since 1957 and the college is also famous for its Assassins Guild, whose members try to "kill" each other with Nerf guns, "poisonous" Tabasco sauce and "explosive" alarm clocks.
Naropa University is a private liberal arts college in Colorado which integrates meditation into the curriculum and offers a unique blend of Eastern and Western educational practices. Majors include Peace Studies, Contemplative Psychology and Traditional Eastern Arts...interesting, right?
Grinnell College is another private institution known for its independent majors. After their first year, students can tailor their majors to suit their preferences instead of following a rigid degree path. Also of note are the school's post-graduation "Grinnell Corps" programs, which allow students to help others in places ranging from Namibia to China. In addition, Grinnell has the highest per capita Peace Corp volunteer rate of any college, despite only having 1,500 students.
Deep Springs College is an exclusively male liberal arts college famous for its method of selecting 26 students and giving them all full scholarships. The professors knit, stargaze and have ping pong tournaments with their students and they also live within walking distance of the students' dorms on a cattle ranch/alfalfa farm.
If you decide to attend one of these colleges, it's safe to say you'll be in for a college experience unlike any other!

My name is Veronica Yvette Gonzalez. I'm 20 years old and I'm entering my third year at the University of the Incarnate Word this fall. At UIW, I major in English. I'm also a committed member and fellow officer of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society at UIW. In ALD, I was vice president from 2012 to 2013; this fall I will be a returning officer but this time as a junior delegate.
The main reason why I chose to attend UIW was because I found it possible to pursue a career in writing there. The English Department offered all kinds of classes and recommendations to help me pursue my dream career. Another reason why I chose UIW was because of its friendliness and hospitality. When I researched the school, it was totally different from other universities: UIW wasn't going to hook me up with so many classes and tell me "Good luck" – they stepped up and helped me get through the first day of school. They were very helpful and brilliant at answering every question I had.
Majoring in English was an automatic choice: Ever since I was a kid, I read lots of books and I envisioned writing my own books and signing them for my fans. At UIW, I was placed in special classes where the professors were hands-on and gave every student feedback on their essays and stories. Having an advanced start to a writing career in college is heaven! Although I am quite busy with school, I also make time to read, write, draw, paint and brainstorm ideas on what to write about.
When I heard Scholarships.com was calling for virtual interns, I immediately rose to the challenge. As a writer, I know that I shouldn't be afraid to put my writing to the test. This internship won't just look good on my resume – it will advance my dream career because I will gain so much experience as a writer!

From Twitter and Tumblr to Facebook and Google+, there are a variety of social media sites that one can use these days. Although these websites serve different purposes, there is one that everyone should have: LinkedIn.
LinkedIn is a social media site specifically created for professional networking. You create a profile, upload a picture and enter some information about yourself and then you can search for others who work in your desired field. You can also be searched for based on any number of criteria and the connections you make here could lead to recruitment and employment opportunities. If you think you can use LinkedIn the same way you use other sites, however, you've got another thing coming. Here are a few tips for LinkedIn success.
Since you are essentially selling yourself to potential employers on LinkedIn, put the very best version of yourself out there. Start with a decent and professional picture – you don't have to be in a suit or tie but no snapshots of you at a party or dressed provocatively should EVER be used. Also, be mindful of how you describe yourself: For example, in the hobbies and interest section, don't list "partying" – try "socializing" or "networking" instead. LinkedIn is very different from Facebook and to be taken seriously, you must promote yourself as such. Keep in mind that if you are questioning whether or not to include something on your profile, it probably doesn't belong there!
You can also upload a resume to LinkedIn so make sure it's top-notch and that the information in your resume matches your profile information. (No embellishing!) Another benefit of LinkedIn is that you can upload recommendation letters from your professors or employers to give those viewing your profile a bit more insight into who you are and what you're capable of; you can ask your LinkedIn contacts to recommend you as well...just be ready to return the favor when asked.

A bomb threat that was phoned-in Friday morning prompted an evacuation of Donelson Middle School, said officials.
The children at the school were evacuated to nearby Hickman Elementary. The students returned to their school around 11:45 a.m.
It's unclear what time the threat came in.

Croc Greenion Dryer
JenaRaleigh, NCHairMedium BrownOily HairLove ItAbsolutely love this dryer! had previously used the FHI nano weight and it burned off a chunk of my hair (right in front) and had been having a really hard time trying to decide which dryer to buy. I love this one! like another reviewer said it makes your hair all shiny and soft and fluffy...drying time is really fast, lightweight(I had no problems with the cord) it gets hot but not too hot, has made my hair lovely again! First croc purchase and definitely wont be the last!!!posted Sep 17, 2013Link to this post
MarySeriously???Paid this much money for what I was told was a great hair dryer and it broke on first use. This is going back for a refund. What a waste of money.posted Jun 29, 2013Link to this post
LisbethNew YorkHairLight BrownColor Treated HairSalon Results!This blow dryer is absolutely amazing! I was just some other cheap hair dryer and everytime I dried my hair, no matter how many products I used, my hair always came out with so much frizz! I could never get it straight without the hair straightener. But no with this Croc blow dryer, I dried my hair and my mom was in shock! She thought I used my hair straightener! It so straight and shiny!! That with the negative ion switch on I haven't tried it without it yet. But so far I am beyond please with the results!posted Jun 26, 2013Link to this post
DebNJHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairFluffy Silky HairHair: Naturally straight, long, color treated: I finally decided to splurge on a hairdryer that was alot more money than what I am used to spending. I wasn't sure if there'd be a significant difference to warrant the amount of money; but I was surprised. This dryed my hair quick and left it fluffy and silky. My hair is somewhat flat, but with this dryer, it's fluffy! I am very happy with my purchase.posted Mar 15, 2013Link to this post
EmilyHairDark BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairAmazing ResultsI got this dryer as a gift to myself after my run-of-the-mill one burned out. This is the same one my stylist uses and after using it only once, I received so many compliments! Everyone thought I had just had my hair cut even though I was about 3 weeks overdue for my appointment. It made my hair noticeably shinier and smoother. I usually always have to use my straightener after blow drying to smooth out the hair, but this time I hadn't used it all. Well worth the money, in my opinion.posted Nov 14, 2012Link to this post
ErickaUnited StatesHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairAbsolutely LoveThis thing blows tons of air, but not so much that the hair gets unmanageable and not to hot to burn your scalp off. I love the 12 foot cord. I love that it isn't plastic, but is hemp. It is not super light but it isn't heavy either. I have thick, long, color treated hair and my hair looks gorgeous when this thing is done with it. I've had several people ask me if I just got my hair done (but my color is over 4 weeks old) . . . I really think the blow dryer is to credit because my hair is so smooth, soft and shiny.posted Apr 17, 2012Link to this post
Terri L.NJHairMedium BrownOily HairDry HairColor Treated HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairThe Best!!!!!!!!!!!I have very long Japanese Straightened hair that has about 4 inches of wavy roots growing in. It has been VERY DRY and brittle recently. I was at my salon having color done and they let me use their dryer to quickly dry before I left and I was amazed at the power of it! I bought the CROC right then and there and it has changed my life! I mean literally - b/c it actually cut my drying time in 1/2 in the AM!
I also noticed that my hair now feels & looks incredibly smooth, silky and soft... it is because of the CROC for sure because I haven't changed any of my hair care products.
I am beyond happy with it! Its very quiet, powerful, easy to manage and has a long cord - which is great for traveling when the outlet is far from the mirror. I will be recommending for sure!!!posted Jan 12, 2012Link to this post -

Hope it lasts more than 1 year.posted Nov 3, 2011Link to this post
BeckyHairBlondeFine or Thin HairThis Hair Dryer Is The Bomb!!!!This hair dryer is it!!! I had an FHI before and my hair would look dry and damaged and I thought it was my hair. Nope it was the hair dryer. My hair looks so healthy and shiny after I dry it now and I do not have the fly aways I had before. No it isnt as hot as my FHI was but I think that is what the problem was with my hair it got too hot.
Dont get me wrong this does get hot and does the job quickly. I leave the ions off until I am done drying and then I turn them on and go back over for "smoothing." I also bought the Greenion Flat Iron and love it. With both the flat iron and hair dryer my hair actually looks like my stylist did it.
You cant go wrong with this and I dont think you will be disappointed.posted Jul 14, 2011Link to this post -
JessicaCharlotte, NCExpected A Lot Better From A $140 Hair DryerAs a hairstylist, I am a little disappointed in this hair dryer. The shape, design and colors of this dryer are absolutely perfect, I love that. But I needed a dryer that would give a powerful and quick blow dry for my clients. Although it does make the hair shiny and frizz free, so do a lot of other professional hair dryers, but in quicker time.
This dryer only comes with a one year warranty. I was excited to get a light weight hair dryer since I have not had one before and the dryer is very lightweight, except the cord is extremely heavy (As weird as that sounds). It bothers my wrist even more because I have to fight against the dryer tipping backward because of the cord weighing it down.
The dryer gets pretty hot, which is good but sure not powerful enough.
Even if they made the concentrator a little bit tighter so the air would come out harder that would be great.
Even though the air from the dryer gets really hot, surprisingly the nozzle does not get hot at all so I don't have to worry about burning myself or burning down my station when I put my dryer down.
I like this dryer, but I wish there were just a few changes so that I could serve my clients quicker and better, and without having a sore wrist at the end of the day.posted Jun 3, 2011Link to this post

FORTUNE -- Directing a movie requires more than sitting in funny chairs and yelling "action" on a set. Directors need to intelligently discuss finance, set production, and acting all in a day's work.
Simon West is multilingual in the way directors must be. He's a big-picture action director whose latest project is Expendables 2, a shoot-em-up that's hitting theaters this August. He was also the man behind the camera for The General's Daughter, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and Con Air.
He recently spoke with Fortune about what it takes to manage the many moving parts of a big picture. After over a decade in the business, West says, he's finally starting to have some fun.
Fortune: What does a day in the life of an action movie director look like?
Simon West: Even my family members don't really know what the day is. They see directors on TV shouting, "action" and "cut," and they think it's mostly about directing traffic.
But in one day, I can be talking to the accountant about how we're going to stay on budget, then a technical guy about how we're going to make it look like a plane is really flying over the building -- we're talking physics and engineering. By the end of the day, I'm talking to an actor about what his feelings are. So I've gone the whole gamut in one day from money to engineering to art to emotions.
How do you coax actors to give genuine, emotional performances on an action set?
I make them feel them comfortable because, ultimately, I'll get the best performance that way. You have to learn everyone's personality because all of these people are human beings and everyone has a different psyche.
MORE: Duke CEO on turnover turmoil: Hey, it happens
I have this memory of a scene I did for Con Air with John Malkovich, Nicolas Cage, and John Cusack, and they all had completely different styles of acting. In action movies, you don't really rehearse that much. The actors come on, run through it, and then you shoot, so I had to learn their styles very quickly.
I soon learned that John Cusack likes to do as many takes as possible, then run around to the back of the camera, then do it again. Nicolas Cage would come in and do his scene, and he'd been thinking about it very hard for days before, and he knew exactly how he wanted to do it. Then John Malkovich would do take after take, and he would do it in a completely different style. One minute, he'd be doing it in a little child's voice, and the next minute, in aNew Yorkaccent. It was so different, that I had a huge choice with his scenes. More

Who are Kings of Leon? In 2002 brothers Nathan, Caleb, and Jared Followill, along with their cousin Matthew, formed the grungy alternative rock band in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Now they have millions of fans around the world. But growing up in the South was far from harmonious. Most of the brothers' young lives were spent in poverty, living in the back of an Oldsmobile while touring around the Bible Belt from church to church with the brothers' father, Ivan Leon, a Pentecostal preacher, and their mother BettyAnn, who tried desperately to ground the family during their travels. Rebelling from the God-fearing gypsy lifestyle in true rocker fashion, the young men turned to secular music and a few recreational drugs in Nashville… and the rest is history etched in platinum and gold. Wisely anchoring this energetic behind-the-scenes documentary is the annual family reunion in the backwoods of Talihina, Tennessee, where the boys unwind with horseshoe throwing, beer guzzling, and a dip in the creek. First-time director Stephen C. Mitchell sculpts a youthful, honest, and vibrant look at what fuels the creative fire of these budding rock legends, providing fascinating insight for fans and non-fans alike. — (C) Tribeca

Michael Perry Advice"Our 'garden-ready' plant range is a much larger plug plant than usual and, if the weather allows, can be planted directly into their final containers and into beds and borders from the end of May. Please keep an eye on the weather forecast though, and never plant outside if a frost is forecasted. If you have planted and then news of frost comes, then make sure you cover plants with fleece or some old net curtains temporarily." |

By Rick Couri
SURGOINSVILLE, Tenn. —
Five-year-old Alexa Linboom drank one of her step-mother's grape sodas after she had been told not to.
That's when Randall and Mary Vaughn decided her punishment would be drinking huge amounts of grape soda and water.
It led to acute fluid/water intoxication, causing her brain to swell and organs to shut down, leading to her death.
The incident took place in 2012 but after an ongoing investigation, the two were charged with first-degree murder, aggravated child neglect, and aggravated child abuse this week.
Attorney General Berkeley Bell told the Times News in Kingsport, Tennessee, "they also failed to take care of the child once she was injured."
"Our position is it was a matter of several hours after the child started exhibiting serious symptoms, after the child was screaming out in pain, went into a paralyzed state, and became unconscious."
There were six children living in the house at the time, the others are now in foster care.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The vast majority of working West Virginians will pay hundreds of dollars more in taxes this year because federal lawmakers let a two-year payroll tax cut expire this week.
This increase comes despite rhetoric from Washington lawmakers, who said they were able to save the middle class from tax increases following a harried settlement of the so-called fiscal cliff.
Income taxes indeed would have gone up without congressional action. Those increases would have hit low-income workers, the middle class and parents.
But the implication that the middle class was spared ignores the higher payroll taxes that will now take money out of the pockets of tens of millions of working Americans.
The payroll tax rate went from a two-year reduced rate of 4.2 percent back to 6.2 percent, the rate it had been before 2011.
For a median income West Virginian making $43,000 a year, the higher taxes will cost about $850 a year, or roughly $30 per biweekly paycheck.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle justified the tax increases. They said the cuts were not helping to stimulate the economy as designed and also threatened to eventually harm Social Security. Payroll taxes help fund Social Security.
The taxes cost Social Security $200 billion in lost revenue, though the law enacting the temporary cuts said the government was to "replicate to the extent possible" the losses Social Security faced by taking money from the nation's general fund.
Some lawmakers saw a choice between one sacred cow and another: reducing taxes or weakening Social Security.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., has argued for more than a year that the payroll tax should be allowed to increase "for the sake of Social Security."
"That's something for the safety and for the long term of Social Security - had to be done," Manchin said Wednesday.
During a conference call, Manchin said "99 percent" of West Virginians had been spared higher taxes because of the fiscal cliff deal. But he was apparently not including the payroll tax hike, which affects basically everyone with a job.
Manchin said there was little effort by members of either party to keep the payroll taxes lower.
"It was already determined; everybody agreed it would go away," Manchin said, referring to the lower rate.

Kidney Failure A Health Risk of ObesityPosted: Monday, January 23, 2006The kidney appears to be no exception to the organs that are affected directly by excess weight and obesity, with poundage a reported increased independent risk for end-stage renal disease.
said Chi-yuan Hsu, M.D., of the University of California here. Previous studies have shown that the overweight and obese are at increased risk for diabetes and hypertension, which are traditional risk factors for kidney failure. But Dr. Hsu and colleagues found that obesity remained a risk factor even after adjusting for diabetes and hypertension at baseline. The long-term study examined data on more than 320,000 Northern California Kaiser Permanente members whose height, weight, blood pressure, and diabetes status were assessed during health checkups between 1964 and 1985. Through December of 2000, researchers identified cases of end-stage renal disease using the U.S. Renal Data System, a national registry that collects and disseminates information on end-stage renal disease. Average follow-up was about 26 years. A total of 1,471 cases of end-stage renal disease occurred among study participants. When researchers looked for a link between kidney failure and body-mass index, they found the following increases in risk compared with normal weight individuals: · For those who were overweight (BMI=25-29.9) the adjusted relative risk was 1.87 (95% confidence interval=1.64-2.14). · For those with class I obesity (BMI=30-34.9) the adjusted relative risk was 3.57 (95% CI=3.05-4.18). · For those with class II obesity (BMI=35-39.9) the adjusted relative risk was 6.12 (95% CI=4.97-7.54). · For those with extreme obesity (BMI>40) the adjusted relative risk was 7.07 (95% CI=5.37-9.31). These results were adjusted for baseline diabetes and hypertension status, although the researchers acknowledged that one limitation of the study was that ascertainment of diabetes status was not uniform among the cohort and that a single baseline blood pressure measurement, as used in this study, is prone to inaccuracy. The researchers also acknowledged the possibility that individuals with elevated BMIs at baseline were more likely to develop new cases of diabetes and hypertension during the study period, which could have been the causal pathway to end-stage renal failure. The study did not account for this possibility. But the researchers argued that elevated BMI can independently lead to kidney failure through other mechanisms. Dr. Hsu noted that obesity places more metabolic demand on the kidneys, forcing them to work harder. "As the person gets bigger, hyperfiltration occurs, and this over filtration is what tears the kidneys down," he said. "In summary, we have identified overweight or obese as a strong and potentially modifiable risk factor for the development of end-stage renal disease," the study authors said. "Conversely, kidney failure should be added to the list of adverse consequences of obesity." Dr. Hsu put it in more patient-friendly terms. "Kidney failure is yet another Hsu C et al.

Fact: There are 28 Springfields in the United States, according to the United States Census Bureau--and that's not even the most-recurring place name in the country. But for every uninspired destination name, there's one that's so wacky, you might wonder whether some town official from way-back-when named it on a dare.

Awesome set, although I wish Third Day had closed the festival. Even though Third Day was a co-headliner, the set doesn't have the same feel when you know another band is performing later. "Surrender" is even better live than it is on the CD (and it is one of my favorites on the CD).

Show Notes:
Today, we did a rare thing for the band. We were the opening band. The lineup had Mercy me closing the show. So, we performed an hour set as opposed to our normal two hour set. We tried to hit all the hight points and squeeze in as much music as we could to the hour. It was a great crowd. We were getting hit with a bunch of technical snafus, but our crew did a great job not making those translate to the audience. It's cool to see how Fishfest has grown, and we look forward to brining our full tour show to the west coast soon.
