Who is Hecarim?
Hecarim is a jungler that possesses an unique combination of farming and ganking abilities. He is one of the mobile champions in the game, and excels in chasing, escaping, and supporting the team in ambushes while maintaining an acceptable farm rate, especially mid-late game. Hecarim is classified as a bruiser-type jungler, but with much more crowd control and utility in a trade with a little less single-target damage. Because of his teamfight prowess, he especially shines in mid-late game, where such teamfights occur commonly. His initiation ability is simply godly, and can be thought of as an Amumu on steroids, and while he may lack in the lockdown Amumu's ultimate provides he brings much more versatility, mobility and damage than the mummy.
Hecarim is often regarded as not a top-tier pick due to his inherent lack of single-target damage, and thus his weakness to early-game duelist junglers. However, because of his extreme mobility and advantageous kit late game, he avoids falling off in damage and utility unlike such duelists, and can oftentimes carry games. Hecarim is a champion that needs much more strategising and map awareness compared to the more popular junglers such as Vi, Lee Sin or Nocturne to avoid direct confrontations in the early game, but if used correctly he is definitely a force to contend with, and a very viable pick in all ELOs.
Pros / Cons
Hecarim excels in:
Chasing. His Q allows him to stay alongside enemies while constantly damaging them. Furthermore, he has multiple abilities that can stop enemies from escaping you with his E and R, meaning if Hecarim decides to kill you the only real option left for you is to duel him, since he'll melt you otherwise.
Ganking. Hecarim possesses multiple ways of ensuring a kill during a gank. His E allows him to bypass wards simply by charging over them before the enemy can react, and the knockback is useful on hindering any escape attempts by the enemy. Red Buff can also severely hinder retreating enemies once they get into range of your Q. Finally, his Ult can easily catch up to enemies and displace them towards your fellow laners. He's also excellent at diving due to an escape ability in his Ult, as well as clutch healing from his W.
Mobility. Our favorite pony's most defining trait in my opinion is his ability to charge straight across the map and aid most fights that break out with good positioning and map awareness. His E combined with Homeguard boots give him a movement speed of upward 1000 for about 2-3 seconds before falling, allowing him to help laners near instantly after recalling. This is also great for other things, such as checking Baron and Dragon without wasting a majority of his time. He also is great for escaping from ambushes due to his E and R.
Initiation. Scratch the last paragraph; this is his MOST DEFINING trait. His Ult-E combo allows him to separate a whole enemy team and keep them off you with the fear while your team demolishes the one enemy you knocked into your team, making most successfully initiated fights 5v4s. Hecarim excels in both small-scale skirmishes and large-scale teamfights; as long as he has his ult, he can win it.
Teamfighting. Though this really should be in initiation, I feel this deserves a different spot. His W sustain allows him to soak up more damage than a fed Nasus, while unlike the latter he can output massive AOE damage allowing the ADCs and APCs to clean up the fight.
Hecarim struggles in:
1v1 Duels. Despite his teamfight ability, he really lacks single target damage. Because of this, he falls to champions specialised for this, such as Lee Sin, Nasus and Jax. Always be in a position where a) you can escape easily or b) have teammates close by to turn the tides of battle.
Being Counterjungled. This is where the brainwork comes in. Hecarim absolutely cannot afford to be counterjungled, which is what many of the common junglers like to do. If you have someone that likes to do this on the enemy team, a) make him waste his time by starting at an unexpected buff or b) put more effort into ganking and reduce your reliance on smaller jungle mobs. Always ward your buffs and make sure your teammates are close by when you attempt them, and remove any wards the opponent may have there.
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Mark of Lethality
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed
greater mark of armor penetration These are the best marks on Hecarim, period. Since you won't be building damage on him anyway after Iceborn Gauntlet and Spirit of the Elder Lizard, this will allow you to shred through low-armor ADCs in teamfights. Furthermore, these help a lot early game since jungle monsters have armor as well, meaning flat armor pen will work very well on dealing good damage to them.
Greater Seal of Armor Absolutely mandatory for any jungler. These reduce jungle mob damage on your first several clears (before you start building defense) drastically. Without these, the 5 pots won't be enough to carry you to level 4 for your first back.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist The eternal battle between flat and scaling MRes Glyphs. I personally prefer Scaling ones, since they'll balance of at about level 9 and for half of those levels you'll be powerfarming anyway. However, if they have an aggressive AP jungler like Elise and the rare Katarina, feel free to go Greater Glyph of Magic Resist instead.
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed These are probably the best Quints for Hecarim. Firstly, they give you more AD in the beginning due to his passive. These also give him drastically improved chasing, escaping, and ganking ability, while slightly increasing your jungle clear efficiency due to the shortening of time between camps. Furthermore, with this and your E you can carry Q stacks between Wolves and Wraiths.
Double-Edged Sword is necessary for Hecarim because it helps raise his otherwise underwhelming damage. Though the 1% damage taken increase does hurt, it's neccesary to give him any teamfight presence.
Sorcery gives him his much-needed CDR early-game, which allows him to spam his Q more often while giving him more mobility due to shorter E cooldowns. All in all definitely worth the 4 points, as Hecarim doesn't need the attack speed from Fury .
Brute Force does the same job as Double-Edged Sword ; namely increase his damage output while being incredibly tanky from his items.
Martial Mastery is the equivalent of 4 greater marks of attack damage, and really helps on your jungle clears at level 1-5. This will round off the Offense tree masteries, as we need to invest on more defense.
Block is very useful for bot lane / top lane ganks early, as it reduces the chance of you getting AA'ed to death by the adc. It may seem small, but it really adds up.
Enchanted Armor possibly the best basic defensive mastery late-game. It gives you free defense as you build more defense, and allows for better teamfight potential.
Tough Skin reduces jungle mob damage; quite straightforwardly put, it helps clears. Definitely worth the 2 points.
Unyielding works in tandem with block to give you better survivability in ganks.
Veteran Scars is free health! Really helps on your first clears, and allows for higher-health ganks early game, though the 36 health becomes insignificant late game.
Bladed Armor gives you much faster clearing time by giving you a bleed effect that applies 1% of their health as damage. What's not to like?
Juggernaut possibly the most major of the defense masteries. It gives you 3% health, which is simply massive late game; that's 100+ health at level 18, full build, and really helps your survivability.
Hardiness once again, free armor, for early jungle clears.
Swiftness really helps against pesky Ashes and Teemos; and it reducing the effectiveness of kiting much more.
Legendary Guardian is a free 20 armor and 10 magic resist in a 5v5 teamfight, which really helps against the burst at the start of skirmishes.
Tenacious , with Merc Treads, gives you a ridiculous amount of tenacity, which allows you to spend more times in teamfights and have more successful ganks. Definitely worth!
Skill Sequence and Description
Hecarim ignores unit collision and gains bonus attack damage equal to 10 / 12.5 / 15 / 17.5 / 20 / 22.5 / 25 % of his bonus movement speed.
This is a great passive because of the multitude of movement speed bonuses Hecarim can recieve. It gives Hecarim drastically improved damage with his full speed Devastating Charge, which helps burst down laners much faster. Homeguard boots also give him an edge in combat near base. In fact, with Homeguard and Devastating Charge, he gains a temporary +150 attack damage, which may be just enough to scare away the adc trying to destroy your Nexus.
Furthermore, the unit collision nullification allows Hecarim to chase without getting minion-blocked in lane.
ACTIVE: Hecarim cleaves nearby enemies, dealing physical damage. This skill deals only 66% damage to minions and monsters. If Hecarim damages at least one enemy unit with this attack, he gains a stack of Rampage for 8 seconds, reducing the base cooldown of this ability by 1 second. This effect can stack up to 2 times.
Hecarim's main damage spell. It gives him an AOE damage source for faster jungle clears, while dealing consistent damage in teamfights. Because of the stack system, it's often good to finish off a jungle camp with Rampage and run over to the closest one and use it first, thus maintaining the 2 sec cooldown. This can drastically improve his clear time. This ability also doesn't stop movement when used, meaning it can be used when running alongside an enemy during a chase, keeping damage on them while not stopping to autoattack.
Max this first due to the good AOE damage this provides; compared to the other skills, this is very useful early-game as well due to the farming ability this provides.
Spirit of Dread
ACTIVE: Hecarim surrounds himself with the spirit of dread for 4 seconds, dealing magic damage per second to all enemies within its reach. Additionally, Hecarim is healed for 20% of the damage dealt by any source to enemies within the area. Healing from damage dealt to minions or monsters are capped per cast.
This gives Hecarim his insane sustain in large teamfights. If the ADC keeps outputting damage onto enemies within your AOE field, it can keep Hecarim healthy even if focused. The duration is also deceptively long, as 4 seconds is usually enough to decide teamfights. This also gives you jungle sustain with your Q. Because this also works with Smite, using Spirit of Dread and using Smite on a minion while escaping can give you enough health to escape more often than not.
Max this second due to the increasing damage and lower cooldowns, giving you drastically better sustain in teamfights and skirmishes.
Devastating Charge
ACTIVE: Hecarim gains 75% movement speed over the course of 3 seconds, starting with initial 25% upon cast, and ending one second afterward. While Hecarim is charging, he gains 150 extra attack range (325 total). His next attack knocks the target back, dealing physical damage based on how far Hecarim has traveled during Devastating Charge's duration.
This is what makes his ganks so potent. This allows Hecarim to simply ignore wards by dashing over them and hitting the enemy before they have time to react. The knockback can be good or bad depending on your use of it; if chasing, make sure to dash in front of them and then attack them to send them flying into your team. Furthermore, hitting them against a wall will stop their movement completely, allowing you to prey on them easier if it was a 1-man chase. Don't be scared to use this for mobility purposes; however, since the mana cost and cooldown is quite high, make sure you won't be needing it soon.
The only real benefit to levelling this skill is the lower cooldowns and the higher damage. Since we use this for ganking purposes early game, max this last but put a point in it at level 3-4 for the speed boost, since it remains constant.
Onslaught of Shadows
ACTIVE: Hecarim summons spectral riders and charges forward with them in a line, dealing magic damage to enemies in their path. Enemies within range of where Hecarim stops will flee in terror for 1 second. The wave of spectral riders will travel the maximum distance possible in the direction of the cast, regardless of where Hecarim himself stops.
THE ULTIMATE INITIATION SKILL. Once you dive into the midst of the enemy, the fear and possibly your Devastating Charge knockback allows you to separate enemies easily. This is also a great escape ability due to the ability to just hop walls with it. Remember that the shadows travel the full distance; because of this, you can "snipe" very low health opponents that are getting away under their tower by using this at your feet. Because the width is quite large, you will usually kill them.
Absolutely mandatory for junglers. Smite gives you great finishing power of buffs and monsters, and allow you to secure jungle mob kills as well. Always Smite both buffs; the cooldown is short enough to allow you to do both with 1-2 mini-camps in between.
This spell and Hecarim is a match made in heaven. The bonus movespeed gives Hecarim bonus AD which may help in clutch situations. Ghost also gives you the ability to dash in extremely fast with your Devastating Charge for ganks, as well as chasing very effectively. Unlike Flash, Ghost also allows you to dash across the map to save towers and aid fights easily due to the lower cooldown compared to the former.
Though Ghost is a much better choice in most cases due to the overall synergy with Hecarim's kit and increased chase/escape potential, Flash can work well in specific circumstances where the opponent has a large amount of blink champions. However, your Onslaught of Shadows usually does the same in desperate situations, so think carefully before choosing Flash.
This is a very situational spell. Though it gives Hecarim even better splitpushing potential, it should only be used when you need to carry in terms of damage. Furthermore, Hecarim has so much mobility already it would be overkill to use Teleport in most circumstances.
Main Jungle Order for Purple (with little jungle pressure)
Ancient Golem (Blue Buff) -> Wolves -> Wraiths -> Lizard Elder (Red Buff) -> Double Golems -> Wraiths -> Wolves -> Wight
This should carry you to just before level 5. Recall, and start ganking. Remember, if the opponent has a lot of jungle pressure, skip the first wolves and wraiths and head straight over to Red Buff.
Main Jungle order for Blue (with little jungle pressure)
Lizard Elder (Red Buff) -> Wraiths -> Wolves -> Ancient Golem (Blue Buff) -> Gank Bot Lane OR Wight -> Wolves -> Wraiths -> Double Golems
A little slower, but still gets you a massive level advantage over the laners.
Main Jungle order for Purple (with a lot of jungle pressure)
Ancient Golem (Blue Buff) -> Lizard Elder (Red Buff) -> Wraiths -> Wolves -> Wight -> Recall/Gank Bot
Always make sure to get the two buffs first if they have an invade jungler.
Main Jungle Order for Blue (with a lot of jungle pressure)
Lizard Elder (Red Buff) -> Ancient Golem (Blue Buff) -> Wolves -> Wraiths -> Double Golems -> Recall/Gank Top
Once again, this will only get you to the end of Level 3, but grab a mini camp on your way to gank after recall and you'll be fine.
Make sure to switch up your routes depending on the jungler. For Shaco, for example, I'll start at Red and take my Blue, then focus on ganking while watching for counterganks.
The Way of the Warhorse
As with most champions, I can't tell you how to play Hecarim; you'll need to learn from experience, not by reading a guide. However, I can attempt to teach you the basics of playing him.
First, to play Hecarim correctly you'll need to be in the correct mindset. One of the best ways I've found to think about him is to think about him like a warhorse. As a warhorse, you lead the cavalry charge, and lead your team into battle. Compared to ground troops, the warhorse has much more mobility; make sure that you help as many teammates as physically possible. Never retreat unless there is a sound reason to do so. However, it's also important to know when to back off with Hecarim. To help you understand the way of the warhorse, I've compiled a list of guidelines for him.
- Thou shalt always be in the front lines when the army charges. Make sure that you are always at the forefront of an frontal attack. Always be thinking about if this is a good time to initiate; use your R -> E combo to drag the enemy towards you.
- Thou shall never take kills from the ADC. No matter how tempting it is; if it's not certain the enemy will get away during a gank, let the ADC take it; they'll need it for later. However, feel free to take some kills during a mid gank or top gank, and of course, the opponent jungler is all yours!
- Thou shall farm until Level 4, but gank if they desperately need it. Hecarim's core early gameplay depends on him getting a level advantage early, and pressing it with frequent ganks to snowball your laners, Take the whole jungle early, but be ready to help a laner if it means them not feeding before level 4.
- Thou shall constantly surprise the enemy. After level 4, unless you die in the process constantly gank two lanes that are most likely to snowball that are adjacent to each other; oftentimes mid/bot. If the enemy on both lanes are pulled to tower, feel free to farm the jungle a little more or help the remaining lane.
- Thou shall never die. A behind Hecarim is a useless Hecarim. You need to have enough damage to be relevant early game. Since he doesn't build damage apart from Spirit of the Elder Lizard, his main way of staying ahead in damage is a level advantage. If you die, it's all gone. Keep the momentum from your first gank to transition into a flowing pattern of frenzically ganking and keeping pressure by farming jungle. Don't risk a gank if you're low, or there's a possibility of a countergank.
- Thou shall rely on your own judgement. You are a general of the team, whether they admit it or not. Your competence decides their laning advantage; your awareness keeps them snowballing; and your teamfight initiations win them games. Even if a feeding top is crying at you to come gank, dont; that 5-0 Riven will probably instagib you. Instead, snowball bot or mid and help them carry that top.
Early Game
Early game, as Hecarim your main focus should be gaining yourself a level advantage by farming hard until level 4. Though you're not level dependent in terms of skills like Warwick, an advantage is always appreciated in the early levels as you're less likely to take fatal damage in a bank. Furthermore, farming until 4 (or 3 if you get behind because the opposing jungler invaded etc) gives you an opportunity to survey the current flow of the game. Assess the current advantage in each lane. If a laner is feeding, think about the opponent that is getting fed. Are they a hyper-carry? Or are they an early-game bruiser that would naturally scale down late game? You need to balance trying to snowball the winning lane with trying to stop or slow down the carries. Think about the team composition on each side. Do they have an early game comp with aggressive champions like Corki or Lee Sin? Make sure to save losing lanes rather than snowballing winning ones, because mid-late those lanes will snowball automatically. Do they have a late-game composition with Nasus etc? Make sure to camp their lane and dominate them each time they come back in lane. With Hecarim (or just about any other jungler) it's vitally important to predict the flow of the game and respond accurately with your first several ganking locations.
Now that you've decided on the best lane to gank (make sure to put distance from your location and push/pull situation into account) you need to swiftly strike before the enemy realizes you're near. It's usually best to do this after your first back, since you'll be selling your Warding Totem with a Sweeping Lens, and will be able to delete/bypass wards. The timing on your E is crucial; especially in the early game where you haven't maxed your Rampage yet, the extra collision damage on your Devastating Charge is often the difference between a kill and the laner escaping with a sliver of health. Make sure to approach them from the back, so you can knock them towards your laner for an easy kill. If they start fleeing, start chasing by running alongside them while spamming your Rampage. Don't go in for auto attacks unless you're in front of them. The pause while you attack may potentially get them outside the range of your Rampage and let them escape. Don't underestimate your damage in a chase; if the lane is pushed, you can often single-handedly kill a fleeing enemy.
If your first gank is to help a losing lane, the first thing you should do is to make sure your laner won't be killed in the process. If the enemy kills your laner and you kill them, that's an overall gold disadvantage for your teammate. Hecarim has a great kiting ability; use it. Rather than knocking them towards your low-health laner, try to knock them against a wall to immobilise them and secure the kill. After that, assess the situation. Is it better if you take the kill, or does the team benefit more from the laner taking it? If he hasn't died yet and it's a snowball champion, by all means give it to them if possible; they'll start dominating their lane, reducing the need for you to come gank again. Since it's only possible to efficiently gank two adjacent lanes, try to give the third a boost at the start and get them to win lane themselves after.
After Level 6 comes another major turning point in your gameplay. Your Onslaught of Shadows is usually a guaranteed kill on any pushed lane. Use this pressure to your advantage while deciding to transition into a gank-reliant jungler or to "charge up" your level and item advantage by farming, as then you have much more potent ganks after you've finished farming. Oftentimes, if I die before level 6 or have multiple failed ganks I'll try to farm up a bit to avoid getting instagibbed by the enemy laner, then attempt to snowball by ganking again. When playing, you need to always think about how much momentum you have. Momentum, in this context, is how much of an advantage you have compared to the enemy jungler/laners and how well you can use it. For example, if you've just stolen Red Buff from the enemy, keep the momentum going by repeatedly ganking lanes with it. Remember; an advantage unused is no advantage at all. In its core, momentum is the skill to maximise your advantage and sustain it. If Hecarim gets behind, you're much less useful than a behind Nautilus; keep that in mind. Hecarim is also a very gold-dependent jungler. If they're not the type who rages if you take a single minion, try to farm up 2 or 3 minions to make up for the lack of farm you have after a gank; especially if you gave the laner a kill. That, as well, keeps you from falling behind and lets you maintain momentum.
Mid Game/Late Game
Mid game, you should focus much more on ganking, scouting, and acting as a personal bodyguard to your teammates after laning phase has ended. With your E and your tier 2 boots, you can dash around the map incredibly fast. Equip yourself with some wards, and dash around the map warding key locations. Because of your speed, you can also dash to the aid of any fight relatively near you. Make sure to do so.
Midgame is also where the first teamfight usually breaks out. Though charging in with your ultimate is perfectly fine, with a smaller fight (3v3 or 2v2), use a ganking style initiation to make sure the opponent can't say "no" to fighting; charge in with your Devastating Charge and have your teammates follow up to have a successful teamfight without usage of your ult.
With Hecarim, the teamfight style you employ is a little different to similar initiation-based junglers such as Amumu and Vi. Your main goal is to displace the opposing ADC and knock him towards your team; while keeping the opposing team from stopping you. Your ultimate fear combined with the knockback from your Devastating Charge can easily achieve this. Wait for the opponent to misposition, and take your opportunity; thus creating a 4v5 easily won. Hecarim's greatest fear in these situations is for the opposing team to initiate first. Because you're not an assassin you can't go into the backlines and kill the adc quickly; you need your team to do that. In these circumstances, try to keep the opposing adc off your team by using your ult and E to knock them away from the team. With your Spirit of Dread, you should be able to resist the ADC long enough for your ADC to kill the others and come to your aid. Remember what I said about never dying as Hecarim? Scratch that; often strategic sacrifices are necessary for teamfights to go well.
Tips and Tricks
Dashing to a lane. The combination of Homeguard boots and a maxed E gives you upwards 1000 movespeed for a surprisingly long time. Combine that with Ghost and you can easily clean up a teamfight which you were too far away to support. Oftentimes, it's faster to recall then dash rather than go there manually to protect a tower etc.
You are a splitpush GOD.With your movement speed, AOE abilities and multiple escape abilities you can splitpush effectively if your team doesn't have enough damage to do well in teamfights.
You steal extremely well. Your ult has a deceptively long 1 second fear. By Ulting into the Baron pit, you gain a timeframe where the opponent jungler is effectively disabled; giving you time to Smite Baron away for your team.
Use your ult in other ways than initiating. Use it to snipe enemies after an almost-successful gank! Use it to juke enemies while being chased; the fear will keep the back line off you long enough for you to Devastating Charge away.
Use your W during an escape! The combination of Smite and your Spirit of Dread gives you a small amount of health; this might be the difference between an escape and a death from an Ezreal Q.
Keep your Rampage stacks up! By moving quickly between Blue -> Wolves, Red -> Wraiths, or even Wraiths -> Wolves (by using your Devastating Charge you can keep your stacks at a maximum, giving Rampage its minimum cooldown at 2 secs.
Hecarim is an underrated but incredibly powerful jungler that can singlehandedly carry games. He seems like the perfect incarnation of the concept of a jungler. Help laners snowball, control the map, while having good initiation and tankiness late game.
I leave you with these words. Think like a warhorse, act like a warhorse. You control the battlefield. You decide which lanes win, which lanes lose, and ultimately if the game is won or not. Become the perfect general atop his ghostly horse; and I assure you victory.

I recently got bit by the decorating bug. Inspired by blogs like this and the recent Better Homes and Gardens special publications magazines, I have set out to create my dream home. The current global financial crisis is the perfect opportunity for me (and all of you creative geniuses) to exercise and test the creative spirit and seek the most cost effective and environmentally friendly methods for sprucing up the pad. I can't wait (insert knuckle cracking here). If only I could blog as fast as I get ideas and implement them. Oh well, stay with me because I have every intent on sharing these tips that I have all lined up in my head. I've been doing a lot of research and here is my intro to the upcoming posts: I've decided that nearly everything that is mass manufactured can be created at home with just a few supplies and a little imagination.
A few weeks back we did a power paint, blasting through our main floor (kitchen, dining, living room and foyer) with a paintbrush and some eco-friendly, fumeless paint. I needed color after looking at the very long, white months of winter looming on the other side of the window. The new color and beauty of the walls spurred on a mass weeding and organizing frenzy that was long overdue. One closet led to another... and all of that led me back to one of my favorite home spots: the kitchen.
I am on a quest to eliminate the particleboard pantry that is hogging up our eating corner. So, my bestest decorator friend in the whole world, Christina, shared her wisdom. Aparently, the latest and greatest kitchen pantry is a simple shelf on the wall where all of the pantry goods are neatly organized in beautiful containers (see here). Luckily, I already had some beautiful containers that I was working on organizing at this time yesterday. Did I mention how very much that I love my Dymo labeler???
I should have taken a before shot of Azure's crunchy jar. I felt sorry that her food was being stored in a plastic, beaten down pretzel container that we had from nearly five years back. I started looking around for options and found this. So I put it on my wish list. And then...
Let me introduce you to our former rice container. In about fifteen minutes upon my arrival home after a lovely walk with the boys I crammed this little project in between snack time and the wee one's nap. It was totally simple and I love the results especially since it didn't cost a cent. Let me show you...
1. Gather your supplies.
Container, plastic or glass, either a recyclable like a peanut butter jar (I have a thing for those don't I?) or something you bought for storage.
Acrylic paint
Marker (I used a Sharpie)
Clear fingernail polish
2. Draw a design on the jar with your marker. I freehanded this one but you can always tape a clipart to the inside of the jar and trace around it.
3. Paint over your tracing. This took two coats of paint. When the paint is dry you can seal it with the clear polish. Tahdah!! A personalized jar for the kitty crunchies. I think Azie knew that I was creating something for her because she spent the duration of my project rolling over and over at my feet. Silly kitty.
You could really go crazy designing jars for all sorts of things. Use any color or pattern you can think of and enjoy the satisfaction of saving a dime and creating something truly unique!

Yeah, Tame Impala's Currents was one of the LPs I've been hyped for all year. Once it came out, I found myself mumbling rhymes to the largely instrumental album-cut, 'Nangs.' That compulsion turned into a start-to-finish overnight session a few weeks ago, recontextualizing the joint as though it had always been a golden-era neck-snapper. Last night, Mary Anne Hobbs world premiered the introspective, psych-rap Lushlife flip of Tame Impala's 'Nangs' on her BBC6 Weekend Music Show, so flatteringly calling it, "a masterpiece…"

Gambia crisis: Ecowas 'could send troops' if Jammeh refuses to go
Military intervention in The Gambia is "possible" if President Yahya Jammeh does not step down after having lost elections, the head of the West African regional bloc Ecowas has said.
Diplomacy was the preferred path, but "draconian" measures would have to be considered if it failed, Marcel de Souza told France's RFI radio station.
Four West African leaders are in The Gambia for crisis talks with Mr Jammeh.
He initially accepted defeat to Adama Barrow, before changing his mind.
Asked whether Ecowas would consider sending troops into The Gambia, Mr de Souza told Radio France Internationale: "We have done it in the past. We currently have troops in Guinea-Bissau with the Ecomib mission. We have had troops in Mali. And therefore it is a possible solution."
The leaders of Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone all arrived earlier in the Gambian capital Banjul as part of a delegation to persuade President Jammeh to step down.
The Gambia's opposition coalition has asked President Yahya Jammeh to step down immediately, after he challenged his defeat in the recent election.
The UN Security Council met on Monday and urged him to meet international mediators who have been sent to the capital, Banjul.
Mr Jammeh, who has ruled the country for 22 years, has questioned the validity of the count after the electoral commission changed some results, even though it insists the outcome was not affected.

We have been back in Arkansas for nearly two weeks, and we've been busy getting our home set up. Between the million boxes that ended up in my living room and kitchen, and trying to get stuff where it belongs in the house so I can unpack those million boxes, it's been crazy busy.
Just getting out of Utah was crazy. If you are familiar with the freeways this next part will make sense, if not, sorry. We took I-80 and got stuck for an hour to go a mile in Park City. They had the freeway closed for some reason. After we got off the freeway, we had to detour 45minutes just to get back onto I-80 less than 10miles later. So, the first day we were delayed nearly 2 hours, and we didn't get into our first stop until after 11:30pm. Needless to say, we crashed. The second day we drove, and drove, and drove. I don't have any pictures because if you've been through Nebraska, you know that there isn't anything to look at. We made it to Kansas City, and crashed our second night. On our last day we only had a short 4 1/2 hour drive to our new home. We were planning on taking a nap, but we were too excited, so we went off-roading back to the park. Hubby showed me around, and I captured his 'Serine' face (see below). It was nice to see him relax so quickly after the long drive (24 hours), and the craziness of unpacking the truck and organizing the house.
We have been spending a lot of time at the home improvement store, fixing and changing stuff. We had to fix the kitchen faucet, and the screen on the sliding glass door, putting in shelving in closets. And we've been replacing the drab curtains with white, faux wood blinds. Even those few things are making a difference.
Oh yeah! And Hubby got chicken the first day we were here. Yeah, I wasn't sure I wanted to take that on right away, but he gave me his sad little boy look, and promised to take care of them, and stated that he wanted fresh eggs by his birthday, so of course I couldn't deny him. We have 8 Rhode Island Red Hens hanging out in a plastic bin in the workshop.

With more than 30,000 college students headed for Athens this week, the town's population will swell by nearly a third.
But they're not all headed for the arch on Broad Street, the symbolic entrance to the University of Georgia.
Although UGA is still definitely the big gorilla on the block, about one in 10 college students in the Athens area is going to a school other than the state's flagship university.
It's hard to say just how many college students there are in Athens, since students may be enrolled at more than one of the area's seven colleges at a time.
But adding each school's enrollment figures yields a total of more than 34,000 -- nearly one in three people who live in Athens -- and the numbers are likely to continue going up, no matter what UGA does to try to limit enrollment.
''Athens is an attractive place for a young person, with good apartments, good night life and a lot of services,'' said Margy Moremen, administrative director of Piedmont College's Athens campus. ''The other thing is that obviously, as students come and go from UGA, they don't want to leave town.''
It's official: University of Georgia's academic year starts today
More and more adult students are also going back to school, she said -- people who want a higher degree than the one they have, or who have a year or two of college but quit to raise a family, because of economic necessity or some other reason. Those are the kind of students Piedmont aims at with its ''degree completion'' programs.
''Our students (at Piedmont) tend to be older working adults -- they are teachers or they work in business, or they want to change careers,'' Moremen said.
Like UGA, most of Athens' other colleges will begin fall classes this week or next. Some have been in Athens for decades, like the Medical College of Georgia's School of Nursing at Athens. One, Gainesville College, is offering classes in Athens for the first time this fall.
Gainesville College will become the third two-year school in the Athens area, joining Athens Technical College and Truett-McConnell College. Gainesville professors will begin teaching freshman and sophomore-level courses in Athens this fall in a 468 N. Milledge Ave. building the school shares with one of the area's private colleges, Demorest-based Piedmont College.
Gainesville College is part of the University System of Georgia, the state system of public colleges that also includes UGA and the School of Nursing at Athens. Athens Technical College is also a public school, but falls under a different state agency than the university system. Three area colleges are privately operated: Truett-McConnell, Piedmont College and Brenau.
Some of the seven area colleges are competing for the same students, but administrators at each of the smaller schools say they began operations here to fill a demand that wasn't being met by UGA, a very traditional residential school.
Brenau College and Piedmont College aim their programs toward people who are already out in the workforce, adult learners who need night and evening classes, for example. The third four-year school, the School of Nursing at Athens, offers a specialized kind of education taught nowhere else in the Athens area.
The three two-year colleges -- Gainesville College, Athens Tech and Piedmont -- offer freshman and sophomore-level courses. Many students at these colleges hope to transfer later to a four-year school; some simply want to get a two-year associate degree in a field related to their jobs.
Brenau University, based in Gainesville, has been offering classes in Athens for nearly 20 years. Undergraduate classes are aimed at students who have already completed the first two years of college and want to take the additional courses they need to get a four-year college degree in business. The school also offers graduate work leading to a master's of business administration degree. Undergraduate courses are taught at the Athens Tech campus on U.S. Highway 29 North, graduate courses at the U.S. Navy Supply Corps School in Athens' Normaltown district.
Athens Technical College only recently changed its named to include the word ''college,'' but it's been an accredited two-year college for years. Unlike other schools in the area, it's still on the quarter system, but the courses are still the equivalent of the first two years of college courses mandated as a core curriculum by the state Board of Regents. About half the school's students are enrolled in college courses; the other half are enrolled in occupational training programs. Total enrollment is expected to be about 3,500 this fall.
Gainesville College's new satellite center on Milledge Avenue is the latest outgrowth of the school's 3,200-student Gainesville campus. Eventually, the school expects to enroll several hundred students in freshman and sophomore courses. As at Athens Tech and Truett-McConnell, students will be able to take lower-level courses at Gainesville College-Athens, then transfer to UGA or another four-year school for upper level courses.
And also as at the other two-year schools, Athens Tech promises small class sizes -- a big draw for students uncomfortable in some of UGA's large freshman and sophomore class sections, which can contain hundreds of students.
Medical College of Georgia School of Nursing at Athens on Barnett Shoals Road has been teaching classes in Athens since the 1970s. Students there can take courses leading to a bachelor's degree in nursing. The school also offers master's degrees in nursing.
Piedmont College, based in Cleveland, has both graduate and undergraduate programs at its Athens center at 468 N. Milledge Ave. Undergraduate degrees include business, journalism, sociology, psychology and mass communications, in addition to several undergraduate education degrees. Three graduate programs lead to master's degrees in education, business or public administration.
Truett-McConnell's campus in Watkinsville, with more than 1,400 students, has grown to become considerably larger than the school's main campus in Demorest. Like Athens Tech and Gainesville College, Truett-McConnell is a two-year school, teaching freshman and sophomore courses. Since beginning with six students in 1982, the enrollment has grown to more than 1,400, and this year the college added another large academic building to its Oconee campus. Almost all Truett-McConnell students in Watkinsville go on to a four-year program, said Jan Hames, associate vice president for institutional development and college relations.

Volkswagen board chairman Ferdinand Piech has resigned after a rare public clash between him and other board members over the leadership of Europe's biggest carmaker.
Mr Piech had said in an interview that he was distancing himself from CEO Martin Winterkorn – only to find opposition from other board members who said he had not agreed that stance with them.
A Volkswagen AG statement said that the board's steering committee had met and decided that "the necessary mutual trust necessary for successful cooperation does not exist".
The statement said that deputy board chairman Berthold Huber would serve as interim chairman.

Created 2008.
Learning objectives
- Describe the use of physical therapies in the treatment of skin lesions including cryotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, laser and pulsed light therapy.
Physical therapy of skin diseases refers to treatment that employs heat, cold, ionising and non-ionising radiation.
Cryotherapy is used to reduce or remove superficial skin lesions, including:
- Actinic keratoses
- Seborrhoeic keratoses
- Benign lentigines
- Viral warts
- Skin tags
- Molluscum contagiosum
Using a special technique, it may also be used to treat superficial non-melanoma skin cancers. Cryotherapy should not be used if there is any doubt about the pathology of the lesion, especially if melanoma is within the differential diagnosis.
Although well tolerated by adults, treatment stings and is inappropriate in young children unless unavoidable.
Liquid nitrogen (boiling point –196C) is the most useful cryogen. It can be delivered to medical practices at low cost (e.g. $2/litre) as required. It should be stored in an purpose-designed Dewar. The most popular are 20-litre vacuum tanks that can hold unused liquid nitrogen for up to several months. The tanks may last 10 or 20 years but do eventually suddenly or slowly lose their vacuum. The nitrogen may be carefully poured into a smaller container or a special withdrawal tube may be used.
It is dangerous to store nitrogen in a glass thermos as this may explode destructively if inadvertently sealed. A steel flask is necessary and there must always be a release valve.
Nitrogen can be applied to the lesion using a loose hand-made cotton-tip swab, but it may be difficult to be accurate. The swab should not be re-dipped into the nitrogen flask as viral particles may be transmitted. Instead, use a new swab or pour nitrogen into an insulated small container that is single-use or sterilised between patients.
A hand-held spray unit is much more convenient and accurate, providing a constant fine jet of liquid nitrogen. Different size spray nozzles, adapters and probes are available for different sized lesions in different sites. The tip of a spray nozzle should be held about 1 cm away from the skin surface and perpendicular to it. The lever is gently and repetitively squeezed to maintain a constant area of freeze up to 1 cm in diameter.
The diameter of the freeze may be confined to the lesion (seborrhoeic keratoses, actinic keratoses, molluscum contagiosum) or include 1 mm of surrounding normal skin (viral warts). Benign superficial skin lesions may resolve with freeze/thaw times of 5 to 30 seconds depending on the depth of the lesion.
Effective cryotherapy of malignant lesions requires training and experience, and a wider margin (most recurrences after cryotherapy arise on the periphery of a lesion because the freeze failed to reach sufficiently low temperature). Longer freezes cause deeper damage and greater morbidity. Tissue injury depends on the rate of cooling, minimal temperature reached and freeze/thaw time. A temperature of –30 to -50C ensures destruction of malignant cells, particularly if the freeze/thaw cycle is repeated.
Adverse reactions include:
- Short term blistering, exudation, haemorrhage, ulceration
- Long term adnexal damage, anaesthesia, hypopigmentation and (rarely) scarring
Radiotherapy is the use of ionising radiation to treat skin diseases. Although frequently used in the 1960's and 70's to treat benign and malignant skin conditions, radiotherapy is rarely recommended nowadays because of the risk of the development of further malignancies and poor long term cosmetic results.
Current indications for radiotherapy of skin disease include:
- Some basal cell and squamous cell cancers in the elderly
- Some lymphomas
- Rarely, intractable localised inflammatory skin disease.
Malignant skin lesions are treated with multiple fractions of superficial X-rays delivered over two or three weeks. Treated areas become inflamed and may ulcerate before healing. Eventual scars tend to have a waxy atrophic appearance with telangiectasia and a tendency to break down with minor injury.
Cutaneous reactions to radiotherapy
Photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves an oxygen-dependent phototoxic reaction and is used to treat superficial forms of non-melanoma skin cancer and other skin conditions. The photosensitiser (usually a porphyrin) can be given intravenously or can be applied to the target lesion topically (most often methyl aminolevulinate). It is selectively localised in the target tissue and is later illuminated with visible light (often 611 nm with a diode source), resulting in photodamage and subsequent cell death.
Photodynamic therapy
There is minimal damage to surrounding normal tissue hence side effects are limited to the target area. As a rule, cosmetic results are good or excellent.
Photodynamic therapy
Lasers were first used in New Zealand in the 1980's to treat vascular birthmarks (port wine stains). The word 'laser' is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Current therapeutic lasers remain expensive and hence are restricted to a small number of dermatology and cosmetic medicine practices in major centres.
The important properties of laser light are:
- Monochromatic (single wavelength)
- Collimated (parallel beam)
- Coherent (in phase)
- Continuous wave or pulsed (to reduce transmission of heat to surrounding tissues)
Different models are now commonly used to treat the following type of skin lesion:
- Red lesions: yellow light to remove facial telangiectasia and vascular birthmarks;
- Brown lesions: green or red light to remove freckles and pigmentation;
- Tattoos: various wavelengths are required to remove different colours;
- Epidermal lesions (skin tags, viral warts, seborrhoeic keratoses): a bloodless knife;
- Facial resurfacing; vaporisation by carbon dioxide or erbium lasers;
- Scar revision;
- Epilation: hair removal and permanent reduction of dark hairs using various wavelengths.
Vascular laser treatment
Advantages of laser treatment include:
- More precise hence less risk of damage to other tissues or scarring;
- For some indications, it is more effective than other known treatments;
- It may be quicker or more convenient than other treatments.
Microwaves and non-coherent broadband flash lamps are also available for hair removal. A flash lamp may also be useful to treat vascular lesions and for non-ablative rejuvenation of the skin (dermal remodelling). Radiofrequency devices may also tighten lax tissues to a modest degree.
Interested practitioners should undertake a laser safety course and carefully evaluate the range of devices available. A viable business depends on the local market, capital and running costs of equipment and staff and efficacy.
Undertake practical training in cryotherapy (ask your local dermatologist) or purchase a training video / CD-ROM.


text: Hola all, So recently I decided to re-visit a game I never had the desire to finish back in the day, Final Fantasy VIII. Now I do own my original discs, but I felt that playing it on the PSP would be fun. I originally got some PSX eboot converts and played through to disc 2. I did not have a single problem until about 20 minutes into the disc when I am in the missile base and my game locks up whenever I try to upload the data when messing with the missile settings... Anyway, in short it just won't let me past. So I decided I would just pick up a multidisc eboot since I read somewhere that it fixed a few issues with freezing in parts of the game, however it still did the same thing. It appears no matter what files I use that the game just doesn't want to progress. Anyway, has anyone else here had this issue at all, or even know how to fix this? I am using a PSP Go with 6.60 Pro-B10 temp. I have installed popsloader as per terminator02's guide, I did this after I first encountered the freezing to see if it would help. I also do have CWCheat installed, but often have it without any cheats on. Disabiling the plugin via the recovery menu doesn't seem to change anything either

Forest fires in 2015 have destroyed five million acres of Indonesian forest, leaving orangutans stranded with no food and no where to make a nest. Our rescue team have been busier than ever and in the past few months have successfully rescued and released more than 20 orangutans into protected areas of forest.
We have been the only hope for orangutans in West Borneo, who otherwise would have been left to starve and die.
This video shows the inspiring determination and commitment of our team in Borneo. For more information on the rescues and releases highlighted in this video, please visit the news section on our website. We will also be releasing more details of the most recent rescues in the next few weeks.
It is thanks to your support and donations that we have been able to rescue so many orangutans from suffering at this devastating time.Thank you.

Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee, G-BODM
G-BODM made an approach to land on a wet grass runway with a wind forecast to be 5 kt from the left. Just after touching down, a gust of wind, considered by the pilot to be significantly in excess of the forecast, caused G-BODM to weathercock to the left. The aircraft drifted towards the left side of the runway despite the application of full right rudder and the left wingtip struck the end of a hedge. The pilot reported that he was unable to regain directional control following the initial weathercock because the grass was wet.

Zimbabwe: church leaders arrested while praying
Ten Bulawayo church leaders, arrested while praying for a detained colleague, outside police station in February, are to be charged again under the infamous Public Order and Security Act (POSA) Cynthia Mahwite reported in the Zimbabwe Standard on Sunday. The ten - Graham Shaw, Kevin O'Doherty, Peter Botright, Ron Marillier, Trevor Leonard, Palany Rojah, Davi Marolong, Barry Dickenson, John Stakesby Lewis and his wife Joan - had their charges earlier dismissed due to the prosecution's failure to build a case against them. However, last week, they received fresh summons ordering them to appear in court tomorrow. Shaw, who is a pastor with the Methodist church, told The Standard: "We have been issued with fresh summons and are required to appear in court on 25 September this year." If convicted, the group face a maximum sentence of ten years imprisonment, a $50 000 fine, or both. A month before the presidential elections, police using the POSA, denied Christians permission to hold a traditional prayer procession in Bulawayo. They then arrested Anglican priest Fr Scott, who was organising the prayer session and detained him at the central police station. Worried about his safety, the ten church leaders from the Catholic, Methodist, Anglican and Presbyterian congregations went to the station but were denied permission to see him. They were then arrested while praying for Scott and charged with contravening a section of POSA. The group were alleged to have "in concert unlawfully and intentionally contravened the POSA by blocking the movement of traffic in and out of the Bulawayo central charge office and disturbing the free movement of the public outside the charge office, thereby causing disorder and disturbing the public peace." President Mugabe has repeatedly attacked the churches, in particular the Catholic Church in Zimbabwe, accusing its Archbishop Pius Ncube of taking MDC party politics to the pulpit. In the article, a Roman Catholic layperson said: "It seems we no longer have freedom of worship. How can people be arrested for praying?" Others pointed out there was nothing sinister about Christians holding prayer meetings in Bulawayo and Mugabe was on a collision course with church leaders in the region. "Every year, we hold a major prayer procession starting at the Catholic church. After the service, the procession heads to the next church which has always been the Anglican church. This procession is normally attended by hundreds of people and is something we do every year, with an escort from the same ZRP," said another churchgoers. source: Zimbabwe Standard/ZW News

"He's kind of got a hip-hop swagger to him, and I think people like that. He's all about money and entrepreneurship, there are a lot of people before he was a candidate who were black Americans and famous and they loved him. And I think there are a lot of people in the closet who also love him. Job competition, job scarcity, issues like that, he is actually addressing those issues. That's going to help black Americans, that's going to help all Americans. That's important to people who've feel like they've been left on the margins for too long."
The link between the Braves' terrible season and Tim Lee's bad night
Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren endorsed him. Attorney General Sam Olens, perhaps the most popular Republican figure in the county, cut a robo-call for him.
Even so, commission Chairman Tim Lee couldn't muster more than 41 percent of the vote on Tuesday night in a three-way Republican primary. He faces Mike Boyce in a July 26 runoff. Boyce, a retired Marine colonel, came within 673 votes of walking away with an outright victory.
Two-and-half years ago, Cobb voters were over the moon at the prospect of the Atlanta Braves moving across the Chattahoochee River. They finished first in the National League East in 2013, quickly lost in the playoffs, and announced their move north. Lee was a very popular fellow.
Three seasons later, they are a miserable 2-18 at home and 12-32 overall. The team could be out of contention by the Fourth of July. The question: Can a baseball team be so horrendous that it pulls down not just its manager, but the political figure most responsible for bringing the prize home?
"The Braves' situation and what they're doing on the field absolutely has an impact on this race," said Heath Garrett, the county's top GOP political strategist.
Even as the results were streaming in, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed was basking in the glow of a different sort of vote.
Reed put his political capital behind a new Atlanta Falcons stadium, saying the cost to keep the Braves downtown was too high. On Tuesday, he was celebrating the NFL's decision to award the 2019 Super Bowl to Atlanta – and the new $1.4 billion stadium rising next to the Georgia Dome.
There are sore losers. And then there is Derrick Grayson.
Gov. Nathan Deal is among 10 Republican governors who asked federal regulators to give them more powers to jam cellphone signals from prisoners behind bars.
Meg Kinnard of the Associated Press has more:
A 1934 law says the FCC can grant permission to jam public airwaves only to federal agencies, not state or local ones. The cellphone industry has strongly opposed the use of localized jamming technology out of concern that it could set a precedent leading to much wider gaps in their networks.
The governors say the technology would be strictly limited to prisons, and that society outside would not suffer.
"The FCC should act to streamline regulatory review processes and allow states to implement cost-efficient technology in prisons, where the installation of such technology will not sacrifice the safety of the general public," reads the letter, which was proposed by Haley and also signed by governors from Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Utah.
Remember when Leo Smith, the Georgia GOP's minority engagement guru, predicted Donald Trump could win 20 percent of the black vote?
His assessment got him a lot of attention – and a few TV gigs. Here's what he said on CNN a few days ago:
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution of disapproval shepherded by Johnny Isakson that seeks to block an Obama administration retirement regulation.
The chamber passed the measure along party lines, 56-41. It now goes to the president's desk, and President Barack Obama has already promised to veto the legislation. Neither the House nor the Senate advanced the bill with a veto-proof majority.
The legislation would nullify the Department of Labor's recently finalized fiduciary rule, which relates to the kind of investment advice financial advisers can give their clients.
Supporters say the regulation will require advisers to put their clients' interests ahead of their own bottom lines. Opponents say it's onerous and will make retirement planning less affordable for lower- and middle-income people.
Both of Georgia's senators voted in favor of blocking the rule.
Our colleague Justin Gray over in Cox Media's Washington bureau has this breakdown of a recent effort in the U.S. Senate designed to compel tractor-trailer drivers to slow down on highways.
Isakson spearheaded the effort in response to a horrific crash on a Georgia highway that killed five nursing students last year.
Read more about the effort here via WSB.
House Speaker Paul Ryan is eyeing a tweak to the chamber's procedures for considering government spending bills in order to avoid the chaos that was prompted last week by a vote on an LGBT amendment authored by Democrats.
The Associated Press has this breakdown of the proposed change, which has not been finalized.
Here's a little more context from the AP on the tightrope Ryan, R-Wis., must walk:
The issue has emerged as a test for Ryan, who has committed himself to more openness and inclusion in how the House operates. One result of an open process can be tough votes and Ryan has committed himself to confronting those head-on. In calling for amendments to be printed in advance he appears to be trying to strike a balance between openness and chaos.


text: Now with a new introduction by David Rieff, The Lawless Roads is the result of Graham Greene's expedition to Mexico in the late 1930s to report on how the inhabitants had reacted to the brutal anticlerical purges of President Calles. His journey took him through the tropical states of Chiapas and Tabasco, places where all the churches had been destroyed or closed and the priests driven out or shot. The experience provided Greene with the setting and theme for one of his greatest novels, The Power and the Glory.

COLLEGE PARK: The University of Maryland announced today it will leave the ACC for the AFC North of the National Football League. The surprising move, which goes into effect next Fall, comes barely a month after the school approved a Fall 2014 move from the ACC to the Big Ten.
The Terrapins will replace the Cleveland Browns, who have been moved to the Southeastern Conference (SEC), where NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said "they'll be able to play more at their speed."
The move for Maryland has confused many observers, who note that the AFC North is purely a football conference and has no opponents for any of UMD's 20 other sports teams. University President Wallace Loh claims to have run the details over with athletic director Kevin Anderson, who assured him that "no basketball team can compete with the Terrapins in that sporting realm."
"That was all I had to hear," said Loh, who says he then hung up and immediately called back Goodell, ecstatic to provide his relatively new basketball coach, Mark Turgeon, with as winnable an environment as possible.
After learning of the imminent move, Turgeon reportedly called Loh on an hourly basis for four straight days, but Loh ignored the calls.
"We didn't want to give the game away too quick," said Loh. "Confrontation can be awkward. Just look at the fans!"
Indeed, upon hearing that the Terps would join the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, College Park reacted as it normally does, with a huge and unnecessary fire. Students gathered on the Chapel Fields to burn either their Terrapin or Ravens gear, choosing sides between teams many of them long adored side-by-side.
"Torrey Smith is so good," said Dash Braha of the former Terp and current Raven, as he tossed his Maryland hats and shirts into the blaze. "With Joe Flacco throwing to him, that second half Terp defense will be shredded! I know Flacco can compete with any quarterback in the league!"
"FLACCO SUCKS!" ranted Michael Ervin, an avid Terps fan, as he burned his Ravens gear in earnest. "He'll NEVER win ANYTHING!"
When asked of Smith, Ervin shrugged, muttered, "Classy guy," and walked home.
Speaking of quarterbacks, Randy Edsall's only comment on Maryland's big move was how it would benefit the teams bereft quarterback situation. Maryland lost four quarterbacks to season ending injuries this year, and Devin Burns has recently announced a transfer.
"It is our conclusion that only a man of holy stature can crack this apparent curse we have today," Edsall stated. Anderson quickly translated the Edsallian.
"He intends to trade for Tim Tebow," said Anderson. "Another financial benefit of UMD's relocation."
"Overall this will benefit Maryland in the long run," said Loh, tagging an NFL lapel pin to his coat. "Hopefully we'll ascend to the upper echelons of NFL commiss- I mean polit- I mean, rankings." Loh paused. "Whatever. At least we're not in the Big East," he said, as he and Anderson walked off, laughing and high fiving.

Billy Vunipola in support of England team bonding in the pub
Billy Vunipola insists England's squad should have spent more time bonding over a drink in the pub as he reflects on the hosts' tournament demise.
Vunipola was ruled out of the final two Pool A matches against Australia and Uruguay because of a knee injury, but spent the entire summer with the squad at their Surrey training base.
As details emerge of a day spent riot training with the Metropolitan Police in early July to improve the squad's organisational and communication skills, Vunipola believes the hosts would have benefited from more socialising.
"It's a tough 12 weeks that we spent together. The best way to bond is when you go out to the pub, have a drink and break down barriers," Vunipola told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"You want to get to know someone on a deeper level than that because when you are on the pitch, it helps.
"I say that because when we play at Saracens that's what we do. It might look like a fun, jolly time but we build our memories together, we build bonds and bridges.
"That's something we could have done a little bit better, but I had a great time with the team.
"I got to know a lot of people very well, I would have liked to get to know them better, not only that but their family and friends.
"That's something that's very important to me, I'm a very emotional player and I like to know who my team-mate is on a deeper level than just who his name is and who he plays for."

Harlequins will extend the season for two of their England Grand Slam players, Will Greenwood and Jason Leonard, after this win over Wasps earned them a two-leg Zurich wildcard semi-final against Leicester starting at the Stoop ground on Wednesday.
Greenwood and Leonard, who has been resting a back injury, watched as Quins came from 18-8 behind to overtake Wasps, who must now reshape their attitude ahead of their Zurich Championship semi-final against Northampton on Saturday.
Halfway through the season neither club looked set for these targets. Wasps, however, have come from sixth place to second on a run of 11 wins while Quins have moved to seventh after
flirting with relegation.
In gaining their only double of the season,
Harlequins gave valuable
experience to some of their younger players, including
19-year-old Islington-born sprinter and Arsenal fan Ugo Monye, who scored two tries in his first start.

Seahawk Fans May Have Something To Cheer About This Year
Seattle Seahawks make move to keep the team competitive for at least 4 more years
Seattle Seahawks make move to keep the team competitive for at least 4 more years
Will Seattle Seahawks make the playoffs?
Seahawks take on the St.Louis rams tonite in Seattle, which could turn out to be a very big game for the Hawks. Even as badly as they have played, Seahawks still have a Chance to make the playoffs as a wild card. I know, I can't believe it either.
Count Jason Aldean as one Hank Williams Jr. fan who understands his peculiarities. The 'Tattoos on This Town' singer says that the country legend's sudden departure from the stage during the CMT taping of their 'Artists of the Year' duet on Tuesday night was surprising, but not offensive.
She still has a ways to go before she matches the level of sports theme longevity enjoyed by Hank Williams, Jr., but when 'Sunday Night Football' returns on September 11, Faith Hill will be back, too.
Hill, returning for her fifth year with the show, has recorded a new version of the theme song, 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,' which sets football-themed lyrics to Joan Jett's 'I Hate Myself for Loving You.'
Tomorrow, January 15 1967, was the date of the First Ever BIG GAME (we can't say 's-bowl!). Now, this weekend we are barely into the divisional rounds of the NFL playoffs. Which of the following sports seasons do YOU think is TOO Long?
