WACO, Texas (AP) — Waco leaders have cleared the way to help finance Baylor's planned $250 million on-campus football stadium.
The Waco City Council voted Tuesday night to award $35 million in special tax funds for the project.
Baylor regents last month approved building the 45,000-seat stadium along the Brazos (BRAZ'-uhs) River, contingent on the city adding public funds. The vote to use tax increment financing zone funds was considered a formality.
Baylor officials, in a statement following Tuesday night's vote, said the school is prepared to begin construction.
Baylor hopes to have the new stadium ready for the 2014 football season. The venue would replace Floyd Casey Stadium, which was built in 1950 and has maintenance issues.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Tyrann Mathieu plans to quit his frequent use of social media cold turkey when LSU's season starts, and coach Les Miles is very much in favor of that.
Miles placed a figurative muzzle on the play-making cornerback and Heisman Trophy finalist popularly known as the "Honey Badger" when LSU reported for August camp last week. LSU's annual media day on Tuesday, when every player is available, marked the first time Mathieu was permitted to talk to reporters about his starring role on a team that is widely expected to contend again for a national title.
One thing Mathieu made clear is that he is willing to tone down his public persona if that is what best serves the team.
"I respect Coach, and whatever decision he makes I go along with it," Mathieu said. "There's a lot of guys on this team who are deserving of the spotlight. I don't have to be in it all the time and I'm fine with that.
"Everything's going well right now and I've just got to watch what I put on Twitter," he added.
Generally, Mathieu reserves social media for philosophical musings and personal reflection, such as when he tweeted: "Common sense is not so common."
He could have been referring to a day in June when got into a bit of a Twitter spat with A.J. McCarron, quarterback of arch rival Alabama, against whom the Tigers will play on Nov. 3.
Mathieu essentially downplayed McCarron's role in the Crimson Tide's 14th national title last season, which came at LSU's expense, saying that defense wins championships. McCarron responded mockingly that Mathieu was right, and that the Crimson Tide's team concept is what made them great, and why they beat LSU in last season's title game in New Orleans.
Miles responded by leaving his 2012 Heisman contender behind when LSU took several players to Birmingham for Southeastern Conference media days.
"It's a week-by-week thing," Miles said of his approach to managing Mathieu's media exposure. "I really listen to Tyrann and try to determine what's best for him.
"I enjoy many times his representation, and as long as it doesn't become a distraction to him, he'll have some time to visit (with reporters)," Miles said. "So many times, he's such a pleasing guy, he wants to please everybody. ... Too many interviews, one after another, just doesn't tell him what he needs to do. What he needs to do is do well academically, finish this football season and have a long-range view of himself. Sometimes, even though the world wants today's quote, that's not necessarily what's important."
Mathieu, who dyes the top of his hair yellow, grew up in New Orleans, home to a culture where personal expression is generally encouraged and rewarded, as anyone who has ever attended a Mardi Gras parade or second line would see.
His coaches profess to love him as a person and a player. Defensive end Sam Montgomery calls him "a philosopher."
Defensive coordinator Jon Chavis calls him "a wonderful young man," but responded Tuesday to questions about Mathieu's knack for capturing the public's imagination by emphasizing how much more important the team concept is than any one star player.
"He's a very talented guy, but it is a team sport," Chavis said. "How many Heisman Trophy winners have you seen on losing football teams?"
Mathieu seems to have heard that message and taken it to heart.
When asked about his Heisman hopes, he responded, "In order to be a Heisman finalist, your team has to play national championship football. So I think, at the end of the day, winning postseason awards and a national championship puts everyone in a position to succeed."
Media day also marked the first time Penn State transfer Rob Bolden was made available to talk about his role as a reserve quarterback since he arrived on campus last week.
Bolden, an off and on starter at Penn State who has two years of eligibility remaining, said he has wanted to transfer to LSU since long before the Jerry Sandusky scandal that led to harsh sanctions against the Nittany Lions. He said the only way the scandal figured in was that it allowed him to get his release last month to play this season on whatever team he chose.
"Penn State was a great place, taught me a lot, I've been through a lot in that place and I appreciate everything they've done for me," Bolden said. "That coaching staff, they were great. (Late Penn State coach) Joe (Paterno) helped me out a lot. My (former) teammates, I love them. I'll always be friends with them."
Bolden came out of spring practice at Penn State with little hope of starting his junior season. He had been recruited by LSU coming out of high school and had maintained a good relationship with Miles, who saw the benefit of bringing in a backup quarterback with big-game experience to a team playing in the often brutal SEC.
For now, Bolden is so new to LSU that coaches say there is no telling when he will be ready to take meaningful snaps. Bolden also knows that LSU is set on junior Zach Mettenberger as its starter, but still sees LSU as a good fit for a quarterback like him who is as comfortable running as throwing.
"It's the best place in the country, ranked No. 1 (in the USA Today coaches poll), great weather, great food, great people, why not?" Bolden said. "I bring a lot to the table. I've been through a lot. I don't think there's anything you could put in front of me that would surprise me at all.
"I understand the situation (with Mettenberger starting). I understand everything that's going on. I'm just here. I thought it was the best thing for me."

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Call it a quarterback controversy or a competition. Whatever it is, the Texas Longhorns remain unsettled at the position heading into the 2012 season.
The Longhorns reported to training camp Sunday with David Ash and Case McCoy still fighting to take control of the offense after a rocky 2011 in which both started several games in an 8-5 season.
Texas could have the best defense in the Big 12 and has a stable of potentially punishing running backs. If they produce a legitimate passing game, the Longhorns could be back in contention for a conference title — and maybe more.
Ash would seem the likely frontrunner after leading Texas to a Holiday Bowl win over California, a solid performance that earned him the games' most valuable player honors. But coach Mack Brown has so far refused to name Ash the starter for the Sept. 1 season opener against Wyoming and insists there's a spirited competition for the position.
So what's holding Ash back?
"You're asking the wrong guy," Ash said Sunday. He and McCoy sat about 20 feet apart and each was surrounded by reporters asking about the competition, their summer workouts and how they've tried to improve their play.
Ash, who was 3-3 as a starter last season as a freshman, said he's been reading and studying how to be a better leader, yet struggled Sunday to define what it means to be one.
"What is leadership? I don't know. People say it's a lot of different things. When you come down to it, it's a real abstract term that has a different meaning to a lot of people."
McCoy, who was 3-2 as a starter, said he's more confident after putting on an extra 15 pounds to get up to 200 and bulking up in the weight room. McCoy said not playing in the Holiday Bowl was motivation to challenge Ash for the job this season.
Both players struggled badly at times last season as the Texas passing game floundered to eighth in the Big 12. Ash appeared to be a calm and steady personality but he struggled to grasp a complex college offense as a true freshman. McCoy, the younger brother of former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, showed flashes of his brother's playmaking brilliance, but his swashbuckling approach also led to some critical errors. McCoy's fourth-quarter scramble set up the game-winning field goal against Texas A&M and a week later he had five turnovers in a loss at Baylor.
McCoy, who will be a junior this season, admits he's got to cut out the mistakes if he hopes to play.
"I've matured. David's matured. That's going to show," McCoy said. "I'm a whole lot more confident."
McCoy's mistakes came in bunches, but Ash had his share with eight interceptions compared to just four touchdowns.
Brown said Sunday he expects both players will be better this season. After a summer of player-led workouts, Brown said who starts will be determined over the next couple of weeks in practices closed to the media and public.
Brown said he's in no hurry to declare a starter.
"When they make the decision for us, then we'll make it," Brown said. "I'm not panicked when it's done. The worst thing you can do is make a decision when it's not ready."
Brown is no stranger to quarterback controversies in his 15th season at Texas.
In 2000 and 2001, the Longhorn fan based was divided over his decision to start Chris Simms over Major Applewhite. In 2003-2004, Chance Mock was still battling Vince Young until Young took over the role for good and led the Longhorns to the 2005 national title.
After Young left, most assumed talented recruit Jevan Snead would take over but Colt McCoy emerged as the starter as a redshirt freshman and won 45 games over the next four seasons.
But in each of those cases, the Longhorns still won a lot of games because the battles were between players with elite talent. Since Colt McCoy left, Texas is just 13-12 over the last two seasons with two straight losing seasons in the Big 12.
"Everybody needs to help us get that position back," Brown said.

The Southeastern Conference has lined up a few contenders for Lucky No. 7.
Defending national champion Alabama and last season's 13-game juggernaut LSU remain the headliners of a league that has won the last six BCS titles. And that's despite the Crimson Tide and the Tigers losing a combined six first-round NFL draft picks.
Other SEC — and national — powers are trying to catch up.
Arkansas, which ended last season ranked fifth, and Georgia return star quarterbacks. Steve Spurrier fields another formidable-looking South Carolina team. Plus, the Razorbacks and Gamecocks get star running backs back from injuries.
Even those suffering from SEC fatigue might not want to miss that prime-time Nov. 3 three-match in Baton Rouge. The Tide and the Tigers split last season with 'Bama grabbing Round 2, 21-0 in the BCS title game in New Orleans.
The rivalry carried over onto Twitter with sniping between Tide quarterback AJ McCarron and LSU Heisman finalist Tyrann Mathieu — in June.
"I can tell you that no game is won in a Twitter page," LSU coach Les Miles noted.
What's new this year is Big 12 Conference defectors Texas A&M and Missouri step into the SEC. They'll both try to show they belong.
"Only way you're going to get respect is winning games, OK?" Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "That's the only way it's going to happen. I got no problem with that. You've got to prove yourself."
Here is an overall look at the conference:
GEORGIA — Key players: QB Aaron Murray, WR Tavarres King, DB Bacarri Rambo, LB Jarvis Jones. Returning starters: 6 offense, 9 defense.
Notes: RB Isaiah Crowell is gone. Cornerback Sanders Commings and cornerback Branden Smith — and perhaps Rambo — face suspensions. ...

Case Keenum seemed like he was at Houston forever while he set all those NCAA passing records.
Keenum played in five seasons, getting a medical redshirt after tearing an ACL early in 2010. He finally finished his college career last season by becoming the first FBS quarterback with three 5,000-yard passing seasons, throwing for 5,631 yards and 48 touchdowns as the Cougars won 13 games.
Conference USA had five 3,000-yard passers last season. But all of them are gone — Keenum, Austin Davis at Southern Miss, Tulsa's G.J. Kinne, East Carolina's Dominique Davis and SMU's J.J. McDermott.
That means a lot of new names this season at the most visible position. A year after a season dominated by quarterbacks, the only signal caller to attend C-USA media day this time was UTEP's Nick Lamaison, an eight-game starter in 2011.
"We may not know their names now, but I bet by next season you will see some quarterbacks here," Rice coach David Baliff said. "Some of those guys really rise up and make a difference for the program. Just the parity in Conference USA, it's going to boil down to who can take care of the football, who can make the big plays and who can tackle."
SMU, Houston, Central Florida and Memphis are in their final C-USA seasons before moving to the Big East. They will be replaced next season by North Texas, Louisiana Tech, Florida International and Texas-San Antonio.
While losing the most prolific passer, Houston may also have the most ready replacement.
When Keenum got hurt two years ago, David Piland was a true freshman who threw for 2,641 yards and 24 touchdowns in eight games. The Cougars redshirted him last year preparing for post-Keenum.
"I told him this word for word — Case Keenum, I physically saw him months earlier leave the locker room after he was done playing and he took his shoes with him," said Cougars coach Tony Levine, one of C-USA's five new head coaches. "There are no shoes to fill for David Piland. He's got his own shoes, he wears a different size. ... He's young, but he does have eight games of starting experience under his belt."
A look at C-USA:
MARSHALL — Key players: WR Aaron Dobson, RB Tron Martinez, QB Rakeem Cato, SS Devin Arrington. Returning starters: 8 offense, 5 defense.
Notes: Won four of last five games last season, including a bowl victory over future C-USA foe Florida International. ... Four of their wins were by six points or less, and another was a seven-point overtime victory. ... Cato threw for 2,059 yards with 15 touchdowns as a freshman last season. ... Among six departed defensive starters are all three linebackers.
SOUTHERN MISS — Key players: RB Tracey Lampley, LB Jamie Collins, CB Deron Williams, Returning starters: 6 offense, 4 defense.
Notes: Set school record with 12 wins last season, winning the C-USA title with 49-28 victory over previously undefeated Houston in league championship game. It was their fifth conference title, but first since league went to divisional play in 2005. ... New coach Ellis Johnson was Southern Miss defensive coordinator in 1988-89 and head coach at his alma mater, The Citadel, from 2001-03. ... Lampley is an all-purpose player who ran 91 times and caught 47 passes last season.
UCF — Key players: RB Latavius Murray, WR Quincy McDuffie, FS Kemal Ishmael, SS Clayton Geathers, WR J.J. Worton. Returning starters: 8 offense, 8 defense.
Notes: Return top three rushers from last season, all who rushed for more than 400 yards. ... The Knights have played in three of the seven C-USA championship games. They have also had three losing seasons in that same span, including last year's 5-7 with a three-game losing streak in November. ... Worton had 41 catches last season, a new school record for freshmen.
EAST CAROLINA — Key players: DB Damon Magazu, RB Torrance Hunt, LB Jeremy Grove, WR Justin Hardy. Returning starters: 7 offense, 7 defense.
Notes: Coach Ruffin McNeil is starting his third season. ... Magazu, who had 80 tackles and four interceptions last season, is the only returning starter in the secondary. ... Have to replace record-setting quarterback Dominique Davis, who in only 25 games set school records for completions (727) and TD passes (62).
MEMPHIS — Key players: LB Akeem Davis, QB Jacob Karam, P Tom Hornsey. Returning starters: 6 offense, 6 defense.
Notes: New coach Justin Fuente spent past five seasons as an assistant at TCU, where he was co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach the last three years. ...

Notes: Houston's 54 wins since 2005 are the most in Conference USA. ...

SMU — Key players: RB Zach Line, WR Darius Johnson, LB Taylor Reed, LB Ja'Gared Davis. Returning starters: 3 offense, 7 defense.
Notes: Garrett Gilbert, who as a freshman played for Texas in the BCS national championship game in January 2010, will likely be the starting quarterback. Gilbert transferred to SMU and completed his undergraduate degree to be eligible to play this season, instead of having to wait another year. ... Mustangs have been to three consecutive bowl games.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M is entering a new conference with a new coach. At some point, the Aggies will have a new quarterback, too.
As Texas A&M prepares for its first season in the Southeastern Conference under former Houston coach Kevin Sumlin, the biggest question is who will replace Ryan Tannehill, the eighth overall pick in this year's NFL draft.
The top three options to run Sumlin's high-powered offense are sophomores Jameill Showers and Matt Joeckel or redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel. Showers is the only one of the three to have thrown a pass for the Aggies, but his experience is extremely limited. He appeared in three games last season where he was 4 for 5 for 40 yards.
Sumlin insists that there isn't a frontrunner.
"Our competition is wide open," he said.
So when will he decide on his starter?
"Whenever we feel like somebody has clearly surfaced," he said.
Tannehill took over at quarterback for Texas A&M midway through the 2010 season and threw for 3,744 yards and 29 touchdowns last year in his only full season.
The good news for whoever gets the nod at quarterback is that he'll play behind an experienced line led by left tackle Luke Joeckel and a pair of senior receivers in Ryan Swope and Uzoma Nwachukwu.
Swope led the Aggies last season with 89 receptions for 1,207 and 11 touchdowns and Nwachukwu added 639 yards receiving with two scores.
"Tannehill was a great quarterback and it's obviously big shoes to fill, but I've got a lot of confidence in the guys competing for that spot right now," Swope said. "I just hope for the best. I've seen a lot of talent in those guys in 7 on 7 this summer. They're working hard. The more they compete the better. It will be exciting to see who gets that spot."
A boost to the offense will be the return of Christine Michael, who has seen his last two seasons end prematurely after breaking his leg in 2010 and tearing an anterior cruciate ligament last season. He ran for 899 yards and eight touchdowns last season before the injury.
Sumlin was hired at Texas A&M after Mike Sherman was fired following a 6-6 regular season. Though Sumlin is known for the offenses he led at Houston, he knows that he'll have to shore up Texas A&M's defense if he hopes to succeed in the SEC. He has just five returning defensive starters this season.
He said he believes his players want to live up to the storied history of past defenses at the school including the "Wrecking Crew" heyday of the late 1980s and early '90s.
"Anytime you're playing defense at Texas A&M you have a standard," Sumlin said. "From where I sit, I think that you have to have some sort of motivating factor based on the tradition of excellence on defense in the past. Everybody since the '80s and '90s has tried to meet that standard. That's a bigger motivational standard than anything. That's a huge goal and there's been a lot of people that have tried to do it here recently and I don't know that that's happened."
The Aggies are switching from 3-4 scheme to the 4-3 under first-year defensive coordinator Mark Snyder. A leader of the group will be senior linebacker Sean Porter, who led the team with 9 1/2 sacks last season.
"I don't think we're going to struggle in the first year at all," Porter said. "I think we're a pretty good defense. From what I can see we have a solid defense and we're going to be able to compete in the SEC."
The Aggies open the season Aug. 30 against Louisiana Tech and play their first SEC game when they host Florida on Sept. 8.
Sumlin isn't focusing on A&M's opponents right now.
"I think the biggest thing that we have to try to deal with is not Louisiana Tech, is not the schedule, we have to deal with us," he said. "Before we start talking about opponents, we need to start talking about what kind of things we have to do to get better."
He said he is most concerned with improving the team's turnover margin after the Aggies finished last year 106th in the country. Texas A&M was also one of the most penalized teams in the country in 2011.
"Those are things that we can deal with internally," he said. "Those are things that we need to address before we get going and talking about other people."
Four of Texas A&M's six defeats last year were by a combined 10 points, including a 53-50, four-overtime loss to Kansas State. Sumlin wants to teach his team how to handle playing in close games.
"We have to deal with our mental edge," he said. "Where we are right now as a team, as a program coming out of last year and the expectation level ... of this football team. (Teach them) how to prepare, how to play and how to close out football games."

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M is entering a new conference with a new coach. And Wednesday night, the Aggies decided on a new quarterback, too.
Former Houston coach Kevin Sumlin said Johnny Manziel will start Texas A&M's opener against Louisiana Tech on Aug. 30 as the Aggies prepare for their first season in the Southeastern Conference. He'll replace Ryan Tannehill, the eighth overall pick in the NFL draft.
Manziel, a redshirt freshman and sophomores Jameill Showers and Matt Joeckel had been vying for the chance to lead Sumlin's high-powered offense. Showers is the only one of the three to have thrown a pass for the Aggies, but his experience is extremely limited. He appeared in three games last season and was 4 for 5 for 40 yards.
But he was edged by Manziel, a Parade All-American after throwing for 3,609 yards with 45 touchdowns and only five interceptions as a senior at Kerrville Tivy.
"Johnny has performed the best at this stage and we will proceed until the season opener with him getting the first-team reps," Sumlin said. "My policy is simple really; the best player plays. Competition is a great thing and we need more competition at all of our positions. All of our quarterbacks have competed well, and I expect them to continue to push Johnny."
Tannehill took over at quarterback for Texas A&M midway through the 2010 season and threw for 3,744 yards and 29 touchdowns last year in his only full season.
The good news for Manziel is that he'll play behind an experienced line led by left tackle Luke Joeckel and a pair of senior receivers in Ryan Swope and Uzoma Nwachukwu.
Swope led the Aggies last season with 89 receptions for 1,207 and 11 touchdowns and Nwachukwu added 639 yards receiving with two scores.
A boost to the offense will be the return of Christine Michael, who has seen his last two seasons end prematurely after breaking his leg in 2010 and tearing an anterior cruciate ligament last season. He ran for 899 yards and eight touchdowns last season before the injury.
Sumlin was hired at Texas A&M after Mike Sherman was fired following a 6-6 regular season. Though Sumlin is known for the offenses he led at Houston, he knows that he'll have to shore up Texas A&M's defense if he hopes to succeed in the SEC. He has just five returning defensive starters this season.
He said he believes his players want to live up to the storied history of past defenses at the school including the "Wrecking Crew" heyday of the late 1980s and early '90s.
"Anytime you're playing defense at Texas A&M you have a standard," Sumlin said. "From where I sit, I think that you have to have some sort of motivating factor based on the tradition of excellence on defense in the past. Everybody since the '80s and '90s has tried to meet that standard. That's a bigger motivational standard than anything. That's a huge goal and there's been a lot of people that have tried to do it here recently and I don't know that that's happened."
The Aggies are switching from 3-4 scheme to the 4-3 under first-year defensive coordinator Mark Snyder. A leader of the group will be senior linebacker Sean Porter, who led the team with 9 1/2 sacks last season.
"I don't think we're going to struggle in the first year at all," Porter said. "I think we're a pretty good defense. From what I can see we have a solid defense and we're going to be able to compete in the SEC."
After opening with Louisiana Tech, the Aggies play their first SEC game when they host Florida on Sept. 8.
Sumlin isn't focusing on A&M's opponents right now.
"I think the biggest thing that we have to try to deal with is not Louisiana Tech, is not the schedule, we have to deal with us," he said. "Before we start talking about opponents, we need to start talking about what kind of things we have to do to get better."
He said he is most concerned with improving the team's turnover margin after the Aggies finished last year 106th in the country. Texas A&M also was one of the most penalized teams.
"Those are things that we can deal with internally," he said. "Those are things that we need to address before we get going and talking about other people."
Four of Texas A&M's six losses last year were by a combined 10 points, including a 53-50, four-overtime loss to Kansas State. Sumlin wants to teach his team how to handle playing in close games.
"We have to deal with our mental edge," he said. "Where we are right now as a team, as a program coming out of last year and the expectation level ... of this football team. (Teach them) how to prepare, how to play and how to close out football games."

PHOENIX (AP) — College football is in for some big and, some say, much-needed changes with the switch to a four-team playoff.
Before we get to that, there's still a couple more seasons under the current system; the playoffs don't begin until 2014.
And this one will be worth watching.
There's plenty of interesting story lines, from Penn State trying to rebuild in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal to Urban Meyer's return to coaching with Ohio State.
There's no shortage of great players, either.
Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley skipped the NFL for the chance at a national title, Michigan's Denard Robinson is a blur even without his shoelaces tied and Wisconsin's Montee Ball is like trying to tackle a wrecking ball.
Great teams? Could be a few of those, too. USC, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon — the BCS could be under a lot of strain this season with those teams all bidding for No. 1.
So to get you ready, we've got a rundown of some of the things to watch out for this season.
USC. Barkley is back. So is his top target, Robert Woods. Former Penn State running back Silas Redd was a nice addition. Postseason eligible again, the Trojans aren't aiming for just any bowl; they want a trip to Miami and national championship.
Alabama. The Crimson Tide have won two of the past three national championships. They figure to be contenders for another.
LSU. The Honey Badger is gone. All those other NFL prospects — such as defensive end Sam Montgomery and safety Eric Reid — should keep the Tigers from missing him.
Oklahoma. The Sooners have a record-setting QB in Landry Jones, a brick wall of an offensive line and with the return of Mike Stoops, Bob's feisty little brother, they should be good on defense, too.
Oregon. LaMichael James and Darron Thomas are gone? Big deal. The Ducks have plenty of other players who can fly in those new winged unis.
Arkansas. QB Tyler Wilson and RB Knile Davis are back, coach John L. Smith has calmed the storm after Bobby Petrino's motorcycle crash and subsequent firing. All Arkansas has to do now is get by Alabama and LSU — its only two losses a year ago — which isn't as farfetched as you might think. Both visit the Natural state, one early (Alabama on Sept. 15) the other late (LSU the day after Thanksgiving)
Florida State. The Seminoles' return to prominence has been rumored for years. Under coach Jimbo Fisher, it may actually happen this season.
Wisconsin. The Badgers are hungry after consecutive Rose Bowl losses and they have Ball, one of the nation's best running backs.
Michigan State. Behind RB Le'Veon Bell, the Spartans could be on the verge of breaking a Rose Bowl drought that goes back to 1988.
Texas. Mack Brown's crew appears to be headed back to the big stage behind a helmet-rattling defense.
West Virginia. The Mountaineers could make their first season in the Big 12 championship worthy.
Barkley, USC. Projected as a high NFL draft pick, Barkley became an instant Heisman Trophy front-runner when he announced he was coming back for his senior season.
Ball, Wisconsin. The Badgers' star running back changed the pronunciation of his name from Mon-tee to Mon-tay. Whatever you call him, dude's good.
Robinson, Michigan. The Wolverines' electric quarterback has churned out more than 8,000 yards in his career, most of those the past two seasons. Imagine what he could do if he tied his shoes.
Geno Smith, West Virginia. The Mountaineers' QB set multiple school records as a junior and more could be on the way in his final season in Charleston.
Barkevious Mingo, LSU. Been known to train wreck offensive linemen.
Jones, Oklahoma. He's been around since Barry Switzer was coach. OK, maybe not that long, but the four-year starter will leave as the most prolific passer in OU history.
De'Anthony Thomas, Oregon. Spectacular as a freshman last season and will likely get more touches this season now that James is in the NFL.
Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina. Back from a torn ACL last season, he should be one of the nation's top running backs this year.
Sept. 1, Michigan vs. Alabama at Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, Texas. The annual opener at Jerry Jones' funhouse has had some great matchups in the past. This one could be the best of the bunch.
Sept. 15, Alabama at Arkansas. Winner could get the inside track on a national-title run.
Sept. 22, Michigan at Notre Dame. Last season's epic finish makes this a must-watch.
Oct. 13, Oklahoma vs. Texas in Dallas. The Red River rivalry continues after all the conference shuffling and could become epic again with these two teams on the rise.
Oct. 27, Notre Dame at Oklahoma. A rare meeting between power programs.
Nov. 3, Alabama at LSU. We may not get sucked into calling it the Game of the Century again, but it still figures to have national-title implications.
Nov. 3, Oregon at USC. Triple digits in combined points is a possibility with all those playmakers on the field.
Nov. 24, Michigan at Ohio State. Meyer is running the Buckeyes and Michigan appears to be back. This rivalry could be heating back up.
There was quite a bit of turnover in the coaching ranks over the offseason, with some pretty big names landing in new places. Here's a few:
Bob Davie, New Mexico. Away from coaching for a decade, Davie tries to turn around a program plagued by embarrassments on and off the field under Mike Locksley.
Todd Graham, Arizona State. The fast-talking Texan has done everything right in Tempe so far, soothing concerns about bouncing around while building excitement for the program. All that's left is to win some games.
Mike Leach, Washington State. His offenses are always entertaining. So's his mouth.
Meyer, Ohio State. Burned out no more, the two-time national champion coach returns to the sideline with one of the country's premier programs — and too many references to an Urban renewal.
Bill O'Brien, Penn State. The former o-coordinator of the New England Patriots might have the toughest job in the country.
Rich Rodriguez, Arizona. RichRod's three-year run at Michigan didn't go so well, but he has Tucson buzzing about football again with his suped-up offense.
Smith, Arkansas. The Razorbacks needed someone to smooth over the ugliness of Bobby Petrino's firing. The even-keel Smith should be a good fit.
Charlie Weis, Kansas. Weis' first stint as a head coach petered out at Notre Dame. The Jayhawks are hoping he can turn around a program that languished under Turner Gill.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - It was a remarkable debut weekend in collegiate volleyball, as Mississippi State's libero position has helped Roxanne McVey earn Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week honors.
McVey, a former Tomball Lady Cougar standout, took the early SEC league for digs with 88 scoops during three matches in the Maroon Classic. McVey tallied 21 digs in her first collegiate match, added 25 in Saturday's win over ULM and concluded the weekend in the Newell-Grissom Building with a school-record 42 digs in the tourney championship match against Kennesaw State. She bettered the previous school record of 39 digs set by Shauna Owens in 1991 against Sam Houston State. For the week, McVey averaged 7.33 digs per set and better than 30 per match.
It's the third straight season and fourth overall that a Mississippi State player has earned the league's weekly honor for freshmen. She joins previous honorees Martina Gregusova (2006), Paris Perret (2010) and Lainey Wyman (2011).
It's not easy for a home school student to stand out in the world of college basketball recruiting. Tomball's Justin Jackson did just that.
Ranked as the No. 1 small forward recruit by many of the nation's scouting services, Jackson recently signed a letter of intent to play basketball at the University of North Carolina.
"I grew close with the staff and Coach (Roy) Williams and just felt comfortable with them," Jackson said. "It felt right."
Jackson plays basketball for an area team that consists of home schooled players, the Homeschool Christian Youth Association Warriors, as well as with Houston Hoops, a local AAU team. The 6-foot, 8-inch tall forward has a wingspan of nearly seven feet, which drew the attention of big-time college programs. Jackson hasn't let that attention go to his head.
"It's definitely been a blessing to talk to these kinds of schools," he said. "I'm not a guy that likes or needs attention. I am not a big partier and I take my faith seriously."
Jackson said his academics have always come before basketball and that will continue in college.
"Academics have always come first," he said. "I have had all A's throughout high school and I think, since I started homeschooling that I have always been about two years ahead."
He credits his academic and athletic success to his Christian faith and his parents.
"I think, for me, the Lord comes first, so I really need to thank him and my parents because they are the main reasons why I am where I am and why I am who I am."

can't download. link not working 😰
I believe it's only for the US Apple Store :/ . I too am having a problem and it says " Your request could not be completed " .. Can someone upload the .ipa somewhere else please ?
Have you tried opening the App Store and searching for "Google Earth" in the text field?
I know the question wasn't addressed to me but i have tried.. And I did not find it
No luck. i'm at UAE app store
what am i missing? i got the new update on my 4s and i have the 3d Buildings option checked, but im not getting 3d views
It's likely limited to specific areas just like the iOS version. Try a well-known area like Chicago and see if it renders in 3D.
I'm having a similar issue. I live near a city that normally shows as 3D in the PC version, but not iOS. I tried other cities that would be more well known, but I'm not having any luck. At first, I thought it may have something to do with being on 3G, but even on WiFi, the app doesn't render 3D buildings. However, the terrain feature is very nice. Pikes Peak looks great from Colorado Springs.
Edit: Nevermind on the whole not working for 3D buildings. It works great, but only for a very few select cities. Worked in Rome.
Works on an iPhone 4S (UK AppStore). Search for the Golden Gate Bridge and that views no problem rendering in 3D. In regards to the actual app good on Google! Competition forces Apple to compete an ultimately results in innovation...
While I do agree about the innovation from competition, Apple has limitations to its innovation. Google has penetrated into nearly every facet of worldwide mobility. While Apple is growing exponentially in their own worldwide market share, they are fettered to just apple products that they continually approve upon. IMHO - Innovation is better suited to those that create, not those who rebuild. Having said that, I still believe that Apple started the trend in modern mobile innovation, but they haven't stuck to that motif.
Agreed with Google and everyone else knowing Apple to drop Google for Maps and release a revamped version of it in iOS 6 later in the fall Google pushes theirs out first 1-2 months before Apple possibly to impress consumers and push them to not even want to look Apple's
only works in very limited places
but it looks cool
I hope this will be available to all "iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.Requires iOS 4.3 or later" users...
You guys are all wrong. The update is available in Canada and U.S not just the U.S!!!! Go to the Appstore and go to the updates tab and install the update for google earth!!!! So simple!!
Yo? Why don't you Update to ios 5.1.1 there is a Jailbreak available!!
Can someone be generous enough to upload the ipa somewhere so non-US app store users can download this.. 😃👍
[QUOTE=magoo757;6629575]You guys are all wrong. The update is available in Canada and U.S not just the U.S!!!! Go to the Appstore and go to the updates tab and install the update for google earth!!!! So simple!!
Okey so U.S AND Canada. But there's still other countries that can't get that app. So can someone please upload the .ipa to mediafire or something like that ?
yeah, i guess u guys are right... i thought for sure nyc would be on the list. oh well
mine's updated... i just hope that these 3D maps becomes available to all 4.3 and above users... not only to selected areas..

Look on the inside of your glove box for the code list. If you have the GT4 code , its got 3.73 gears.AL-
01-15-2013, 10:56 PM #3I know the codes, wanted to know what RPMs people have with bigger tires/gears.
And, if 1900RPM tells me that the previous owner left the gears stock after the lift and tires.
01-15-2013, 11:42 PM #6You could also check East Coast Gear Supply. They happen to be local to me so I bought from them AND had them do the installation work since gear patterning isn't a skill I possess. I'm running Nitro gears based on the recommendation from ECGS. When I mentioned Yukon gears they had some not-so-good things to say about them.
As these guys do gear work regularly AND they warrant their work for 5 years, I believe they made their recommendation and comments based on solid experience. They were willing to put in any gears I wanted, by the way. (i.e. They pushed nothing on/at me and merely recommended a manufacturer based on my diff and the ratio I wanted.)
I dealt with Chase when there. I originally thought he was just a knowlegdeable sales person but it turned out he's the owner. It was refreshing to see an owner present in his shop. He drives a lifted Cherokee that rolls on 37's -- some insane work to push those puppies, so he's an enthusiast, too.

How you view the horse and its role in American life, likely also determines where you are in the debate over allowing the processing of horsemeat in Oklahoma.
If "companion animal," or "pet," comes first to mind, you're probably against the slaughter of horses. And according to a recent SoonerPoll.com public opinion survey, you also agree with the majority of Oklahomans.
But if you think of horses as "work animals," or "tools" to help on the ranch or farm, you are probably in favor of House Bill 1999. The Senate approved the bill 32-14 this week.
Oklahoma's dental board says it may start promoting routine inspections of dental and oral surgeon clinics.

Banks in Cyprus are open for normal business for the second day, but with strict restrictions on how much money their clients can access, after being shut down for nearly two weeks to prevent people from draining their accounts as the country's politicians sought a way out of an acute financial crisis.
"They were weakened by the fact that they had too many investments in Greek companies," said Suzette Grillot. "So they've become another victim of the Greek financial crisis."

Calling them "sensible standards for cars and gasoline that will significantly reduce harmful pollution, prevent thousands of premature deaths and illnesses [and lead to] efficiency improvements in the cars and trucks we drive," the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday proposed national rules to reduce the amount of sulfur in gasoline.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An audit of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation shows employees of the agency used state resources and time to raise money for two nonprofits associated with the agency - then refused to release documents to the state auditor's office.
State Auditor and Inspector Gary Jones released a special audit report Thursday that also says one of the nonprofits - the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Employee Association - spent nearly $10,000 to take 11 employees on a cruise.

Like many offshore anglers, Capt. Dave Kostyo of Miami keeps a couple of rods armed and ready to catch bait with sabiki rigs. It's easier to put the "sabiki rods" out of the way than to take off the rigs and find some way to store them. Storing them means when you need them you must unwrap the tiny hooks without tangling them, and you're usually in a hurry. On the other hand, if you choose to leave them on the rod, there's nothing nastier than those little gold hooks whipping around in the wind just waiting to snag the first piece of clothing or, worse, body part they can sink their barbs into.
Kostyo (skipper of Knot Nancy, 305-620-5896) has come up with one of those so-simple-I-can't-believe-I-never-thought-of-it ways to keep sabiki hooks out of (your) harm's way: Hook 'em together. If your rig has an even number of hooks, great; if an odd number, run the top or bottom hook through the nearby swivel. Then no hooks are left dangling loose to get into mischief.

The University of Charleston men's basketball team played, according to Coach Mark Downey, its best 40 minutes in a 92-56 West Virginia Conference victory over arch rival West Virginia State (6-8, 4-5 WVC) Saturday at Eddie King Gym.
The Golden Eagles won on the scoreboard, rebounds (45-33), assists (20-9), steals (9-8) and had seven fewer turnovers.
As a result, they won by the largest margin in the series since a 114-72 victory on Feb. 14, 2002 - Bryan Poore's third season as head coach for West Virginia State.
"They were the aggressor, from the tip," said Poore, whose team was coming off an emotional and exhausting 90-89 victory over Shepherd on Thursday. "They got the momentum and we never got it switched back."
State appeared to have a letdown after the victory over the Rams, which is the situation that confronts the Golden Eagles (11-2, 7-2 WVC) on Monday when West Liberty - the No. 1 team in the National Association of Basketball Coaches' Division II Poll - visits Eddie King Gym.
On Saturday, UC scored the first seven points and got the lead to double digits (14-2) before the 13-minute mark of the first half.
Charleston Coach Mark Downey thought State could have a hangover from its win on Thursday, so he tried to "exploit it."
"Shepherd presses now, and after our Shepherd game up there, we were dead (tired)," said Downey, whose team lost 80-74 in overtime on Dec. 1 at Shepherdstown. "We told our guys, first of all, they're going to go after the glass, they're going to pound it inside and we want to push the tempo.
"That was our best 40 minutes of the year, no doubt."
State had only one player in double figures, Anton Hutchins, who finished with a game-high 21 points. Raymon Austin had 10 points, but was nowhere near his performance against Shepherd (26 points, 10 rebounds).
In UC's 12-rebound advantage, two players had six (Quincy Washington, Fred Simpson) and four had four (Evan Faulkner, Robbie Dreher, Hayden Annett, Corey Jackson).

So I haven't played my rogue in like a VERY very long time and I got to ask what is the point of this ability if it doesn't work with Shadow dance?
Thanks ~
So I haven't played my rogue in like a VERY very long time and I got to ask what is the point of this ability if it doesn't work with Shadow dance?
Thanks ~
Iirc it was usable under shadowdance but was deemed to strong (which might have been true) and then they nerfed it to the ground and left it in it's current state.
hey you have to see it positive first of all you have 2 choices left second Diablo 3 sold 12 million copys problems solved
to be serious they could just have it limited the cnd so you cant port more then twice during that period but oh well blizzard decided that we dont deserve talent choices and nerft it entirely
Last edited by Koji2k11; 2013-08-02 at 02:01 PM.
the ultimate answer's to all rogue issues in MoP:
-Reroll another class, who wants rougue's anyway.
-Diablo 3 Sold 15 Million Copys
-Haste will fix it
-Rogue's are fine
So blizzard is completely alright with this being useless? Well now I don't mind just pick shadow step It's just bothering me haha
I love it on my Nelf rogue.
Eredar lord of the trifling Gnome.
Ah well anyways, it's nice to see that the rogue forum is getting more and more lady posters.
I don't care about the genitals of the posters, more about the content of the posts.
Cloak and Dagger needs a redesign. It was last justified by the devs as a few top rated combat rogues use it in conjunction with subterfuge (which it still works with). That's fine and all, but I think it really needs to be either a cool button that offers a manner of mobility that the other two don't (for instance, proof against roots), or a passive that is legit competitive and doesn't involve the words "stealth" or "opener".
It's useful questing and such when you are in situations where it is mostly "stealth, burst down mob, drop combat, re-stealth, burst down next mob, drop combat again, re-re-stealth.
If you are in a situation where you can't drop combat to stealth, then yeah, it's usefulness is pretty much zero.
Didn't this get mired in mechanical issues before it could ever get tested well? It's too far back for me to remember properly.
From a PvE side though I think it could only have ever switched back and forth between useless and OP... if you need to hit something and get away, H&R! Need to hit a switch no one's near in some odd mechanical situation? H&R! Kick that one mob without losing your place? H&R! Anything else: why would you EVER use this instead of ShS.

H&R had no mechanical issues, but the targeting reticule infuriated the internal testers.
Cynically but seriously, I do not trust their internal testers on rogues very much.

A valid trick in PvP could be to use it to escape behind a pillar with your healer, who heals you to full. If they chase, you'll get a free escape, and if they wait there you get healed to full.
i don't know abou you but in my mind H&R wasn't that good after all. granted, it was an excellent defensive tool in porting around and fooling the others, but offensively it was really bad imho. porting to your target for 10secs of uptime and then be forced back to your original location; it was horrible as a catch-up or gapcloser. and don't forget guys: it was on a 45 secs CD which was freaking huge for a talent in our "mobility tier". i guess most people miss H&R for what it really was: a gimmicky fun-skill.

Seagate embraces SSHDs, phasing out 7,200rpm laptop HDDs
LAS VEGAS--You might want to stockpile Seagate 7,200rpm laptop hard drives now. Soon they will be no more.
Or maybe you shouldn't. From what I've witnessed at CES 2013, what Seagate plans to replace them with is going to be much better. That's the company's third generation of hybrid drive, a type of drive that's now being referred to across the industry as a solid-state hybrid drive, or SSHD.
For many years a hard drive's spinning speed was the factor that determined how fast an internal drive is. That's not necessarily true … Read more

Harm acts as a four-way socket redirector that allows you to effectively make a TCP connection from the Internet to a host behind a Linux masquerade-style firewall. The server (behind the firewall) makes connections to the client (on the Internet).

Column: Diary of a Duck Stamp judge
What's the first rule of being a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Federal Duck Stamp judge? Tell no one you're a Federal Duck Stamp judge.By: Dudley Edmondson, For the Budgeteer News
OGDEN, Utah — What's the first rule of being a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Federal Duck Stamp judge?
Tell no one you're a Federal Duck Stamp judge.
I learned that quickly after being invited out to Utah last week to judge the prestigious national contest.
Artists are in the audience, I was told, and they've been known to try to influence judges — even though they're not allowed to talk to us during the event.
Enforcing that was Larry Mellenger, a lawyer from the U.S Department of the Interior. The contest is the nation's only Congressionally mandated art competition, and Mellenger's penetrating gaze and no-nonsense expression made it clear he takes his job very seriously.
So do the artists.
"Wildlife artists have called it the 'million dollar stamp,'" Laurie Shaffer, chief of the Federal Duck Stamp program, told me.
"The artist owns the copyright on the art, so they can produce and sell prints. The art collectors are as passionate about owning every print as the stamp collectors are about owning every year's stamp."
As judges, our job was to whittle down the 192 entries to just one winner.
Judging was more than just looking at paint on canvas — it's all in the details. Would this art hold up in miniature on a stamp? Is the plumage correct? Is the head shape accurate?
Or, in the case of one entry, why are both wings painted on one side of its body?
"It's a great picture but the duck can only fly in circles," said Paul Higgins, another judge who's also a wildlife photographer. Needless to say, we eliminated that one.
I was the first of five judges on the stage, which meant nothing moved on until I gave it my nod. Mellenger and two college students held up each work Vanna White-style. I stared nervously at the first piece, trying to look official and staring over my glasses, as the entire auditorium sat in silence.
"Thank you," I said, and it passed on to the judge next to me. The contest rules prevent judges from knowing how the others are voting and cardboard partitions were placed between us.
We cut the field down to just 70 and broke for the day. The next day it took less than an hour to reduce it to just 17. Now the real work began, and we headed to a room closed to the public for final scrutiny. At our disposal were several biology experts, advisors and a plethora of reference material.
It felt like an episode of "Survivor." I favored certain pieces but judges were not allowed to work in tandem to promote a particular entry. To get the works I wanted to the final selections, I had to give them the highest score possible — effectively voting the others off the proverbial art island.
When we returned to the stage, I noticed the audience had grown considerably, which was a bit intimidating. The whole world seemed to want to know which one would be the winner.
"Please take your seats," Mellenger said over the PA. The chatter quickly fell to total silence. The stage lights seemed hotter than they were an hour ago — at least to me. The presenter stepped in front of me to show me the first of 17 finalists. After we'd seen them all, Mellenger was back on the PA.
"Well judges, you're almost done. You've created a tie for second place."
That meant a tiebreaker vote. There can be only one Federal Duck Stamp winner.
San Francisco artist Robert Steiner's male Common Goldeneye took the prize. Paul Bridgeford of Des Moines placed second with a pair of Northern Shovelers and Gerald Mobley of Claremore, Okla., took third with the same species pair. In the end, my favorite came in fourth, which is a true testament to the fairness of the competition.
Would I do it again? I can't. Judges can serve only one term. But I can still participate in the program by buying a stamp each year. If you're a birdwatcher, nature photographer or novice nature enthusiast, buying a duck stamp just makes sense. Duck Stamps give you free entry into all National Wildlife Refuge System fee areas. It's worth it.

About the federal Duck Stamp program
The Duck Stamp goes back to 1934, when Congress passed the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act, signed by Franklin Roosevelt. Since then, Duck Stamps have generated over $750 million used to purchase 5.3 million acres of wetlands managed by the National Wildlife Refuge System, according to the Fish & Wildlife Service's website. The areas protect all forms of wildlife, plants and watersheds from coast to coast. On average Duck Stamps sales raises more than $25 million each year.
