2007 Tennessee Volunteers
The Volunteers won 10 games, the rugged SEC East, and the Outback
Bowl over Wisconsin, which wasn't half bad for a program that was
given up for dead at least twice last fall. After hitting bedrock
on Oct. 20 with a 41-17 loss to Alabama, Tennessee rallied for five
wins in-a-row, including a couple of wild ones in overtime. The
Vols hung with eventual national champ LSU in the SEC title game,
getting rare help from the defense, before bowing on a couple of
inexcusable Erik Ainge interceptions late in the game.
Offensive Player of the Year: QB Erik Ainge
Defensive Player of the Year: LB Jerod Mayo
Biggest Surprise: Winning the SEC East. After the 24-point
loss to 'Bama, a game that was every bit as lopsided as the score
indicated, Tennessee looked incapable of becoming bowl eligible, let
alone beating out Florida and Georgia for the division. With a
break here and there and a timely stretch run, the Vols ended up in
Atlanta on Dec. 1, ending speculation about Phil Fulmer's future in
Biggest Disappointment: When Tennessee lost in the regular
season, it never was pretty. On Sept. 15, for instance, the Vols
got dressed down by Florida, 59-20, in one of the worst showings
ever in this heated rivalry. UT helped QB Tim Tebow get his Heisman
campaign off the ground, allowing the sophomore to throw for 299
yards and two scores, and rush for 61 yards and two more touchdowns.
Looking Ahead: Former Richmond head coach Dave Clawson has
been hired to replace David Cutcliffe, who is trying to breathe life
into Duke. Cutcliffe's knack with quarterbacks will be missed since
Ainge is out of eligibility, and likely to be replaced by junior
Jonathan Crompton. Defensive coordinator John Chavis will be
putting out an APB for pass rushers after his unit finished eighth
in the SEC in sacks.

Tennessee 21 ... Wisconsin 17
Wisconsin was marching on a final drive with a chance to win
the game, but Antonio Wardlow picked off a Tyler Donovan pass on the
five-yard line in the final minute to seal the win for the Vols.
Tennessee held a 21-7 lead midway through the second quarter on two
Erik Ainge touchdown passes and a three-yard Gerald Jones scoring
run, but Wisconsin pitched a shut out the rest of the way. The
Badger offense got a six-yard Donovan run and a four-yard Andy
Crooks catch, but couldn't get in the end zone in the second half
with Taylor Mehlhaff hitting a 27-yard field goal late in the third
and the Vol D holding on a key fourth down play. Down four with
under six minutes to play and on the Tennessee ten, the Badger chose
to go for it on fourth and two and missed as Donovan, under
pressure, threw his pass to Travis Beckum through the end zone. The
Badgers had to go for a late touchdown instead of getting in field
goal range for Mehlhaff.

Thoughts & Notes ...
5 Thoughts on the
Outback Bowl ... Erik Ainge was phenomenal on third downs for about
three quarters. While the Tennessee offense struggled to keep drives
going late in the second half, it finished converting nine of 18
third down chances and killed any Badger defensive momentum time and
again... Where were the carries for P.J. Hill? While the Badger
rushing star wasn't quite 100%, he was effective every time he
touched the ball, and even showed a burst of speed with a 50-yard
run. The Wisconsin offensive line got into a lather and was
fantastic when it could line up and blast the Tennessee defensive
line on rushing plays, but the Badger offense went away from the
ground game in too many key spots. ... Tennessee got a pass rush,
with three sacks and several big hits on Tyler Donovan, and
Wisconsin didn't lay a finger on Ainge for long stretches. That
proved to be the difference. ... The Tennessee defensive line had
great stretches, but every time the Badgers wanted to run the ball,
tackle Kraig Urbik and guard Andy Kemp steamrolled the right side.
However, Badger left tackle Gabe Carimi had a rough game.
Dec. 1
SEC Championship
LSU 21 ... Tennessee 14
LSU outgained Tennessee 464 yards to 343, but needed a bid
play from the defense to win the SEC championship. Jonathan Zenon
took a long Erik Ainge out pattern throw the other way 18 yards for
an LSU touchdown for the winning score. The Vols had one last big
chance, but a fourth and four pass on the LSU 21 was dropped by
Denarius Moore. Their final drive ended with an interception. The
Tigers got two Colt David field goals and a 27-yard Demetrius Byrd
touchdown catch from Ryan Perrilloux, who injured his finger, but
stay in for most of the game. Tennessee played well with two Erik
Ainge touchdown passes with an 11-yarder to Chris Brown and a
six-yard play to Josh Briscoe.
Player of the game:
LSU CB Jonathan
Zenon made six tackles, broke up a pass, and picked off a pass for
the game-winning touchdown. Tennessee's Jerod Mayo made 15 tackles

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Erik Ainge needed to have a flawless
game to beat LSU, and he didn't. He didn't make too many big
mistakes, but the ones he did come up with ended up proving to be
too costly. The offensive line did a great job, for the most part,
of keeping Ainge upright, it didn't allow a sack, but it did give up
a bit of pressure that hurried too many throws. Arian Foster and the
running game was erased from the start putting more pressure on
Ainge. It showed as the game went on.

Tennessee 52 ... Kentucky 50 4OT
Following a two-yard Derrick Locke touchdown run in the fourth
overtime to get Kentucky within two, QB Andre Woodson was stopped
just short of the goal line and Tennessee hung on to clinch the East
title. Erik Ainge threw seven touchdown passes including three in
overtime with a 40-yard connection to Quintin Hancock for a score in
the fourth overtime, followed up by the game-winning two-point
conversion to Austin Rogers. Woodson made up for a mediocre first
half by going ballistic in the second with three touchdown passes
while leading the Wildcats on a 17-point run to close out
regulation. He had a shot to win the game with eight seconds to
play, but misfired in the end zone leading to a 20-yard Lones Seiber
field goal to force overtime. Keenan Burton caught an eight-yard
touchdown pass to start the scoring for UK, but UT answered with a
ten-yard Gerald Jones catch. Kentucky had a shot to win it in the
second overtime, but a Seiber field goal attempt was blocked. The
two teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter, but both teams
failed on the two-point conversion attempt. The two combined for
1,084 yards of total offense 61 first downs and 827 passing yards.
Player of the
game: Tennessee QB Erik Ainge completed 28 of 45 passes for 397
yards and seven touchdowns with three interceptions, and LB Jerod

The world seems to have wanted Georgia
to find its way to the SEC title game, with the belief that it's the
hottest SEC team going. Meanwhile, all Tennessee has done is win
five straight to close out the year with the spotlight and the
pressure on. Tim Tebow will win all the First Team All-SEC
accolades, but a case could be made for Erik Ainge for the SEC
Player of the Year. He has been terrific all season long leading the
Vols to the title game, and he showed against Kentucky what kind of
a pro prospect he'll be. While he might not have a howitzer of a
gun, he makes everyone around him better.
Nov. 17
Tennessee 25 ... Vanderbilt 24
Tennessee's Daniel Lincoln connected on a 33-yard field goal
with 2:46 to play for a lead, and then the Vols had to hang on as Bryant
Hahnfeldt just missed a 49-yard field goal attempt with 33 seconds to play. The
Commodores got up 24-9 on three Mackenzi Adams touchdown passes, but the Vols
roared back in the fourth quarter on 16 unanswered points with Erik Ainge
connecting with Josh Briscoe for a seven-yard touchdown and with Austin Rogers
from five yards out. Vandy only came up with 270 yards of total offense to
Tennessee's 350.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Everyone keeps waiting for Tennessee to screw up so Georgia can go
off and play LSU for the SEC championship, and all the Vols keep doing is
winning and winning and winning. Tim Tebow has a lock on the First Team All-SEC
honors, but Erik Ainge is having a phenomenally effective year as he quietly
keeps leading the way to big drives when the team needs them. Beating Vanderbilt
is tougher than it might appear, but getting that SEC sealing victory over
Kentucky will be a war. The Wildcats might not be playing well, but the
spotlight, and the pressure, are on. The last time the Vols were on the road
they were blasted by Alabama.
Nov. 10
Tennessee 34 ... Arkansas 13
Tennessee held Arkansas to 127 rushing yards and took command
of the game from the start with a 16-yard Austin Rogers touchdown
catch on the opening drive. The Vols got up 20-3 at the end of the
first half helped by two Daniel Lincoln field goals and a 14-yard
Josh Briscoe touchdown catch with ten seconds left in the half, and
then they put it away on their opening drive of the second half on a
59-yard Arian Foster touchdown run. Arkansas finally got into the
end zone midway through the fourth quarter on a nine-yard Michael
Smith run to pull within 14, and got the ball back with a chance to
make things interesting, but Jerod Mayo picked off a Casey Dick pass
and took it 34 yards for a score. Arkansas committed 12 penalties
for 61 yards, while Tennessee committed just three for 25.

Tennessee LB Jerod Mayo made
nine tackles and returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdowns.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Tennessee sure isn't playing like a team due to get knocked out of
the SEC race. With its amazing win over Arkansas, with the best
defense it's played all year against the run, the Vols still control
their own destiny needing to win out against Vanderbilt and Kentucky
to play LSU for the title. This game showed that the offense doesn't
have to be razor-sharp to beat a great team. Arian Foster will have
a hard time getting All-SEC recognition this year, but he's been as
vital as any back can be for a team. He's coming through time and

Tennessee 59 ... UL Lafayette 7
It took a quarter, but Tennessee made its homecoming a laugher
with 21 points in the second quarter on two short Arian Foster
touchdown runs and a 70-yard interception return for a score from
Antonio Reynolds. The Ragin' Cajuns took the second half kickoff 69
yards in seven plays with Tyrell Fenroy running for a 21-yard score,
but that would be all their fun as the Vols ripped off 35
unanswered points helped by a blocked punt for a score from Antonio
Wardlow and a 49-yard Kenny O'Neal scoring play. Tennessee outgained
ULL 466 yards to 364.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
After a rough overtime win over South
Carolina, Tennessee might have been ripe for a sluggish performance.
For a quarter against UL Lafayette, the team failed to wake up, and
then the overall speed and athleticism took over. Now the Vols have
to gear it up for the Arkansas running game, and if this week
against the Ragin' Cajuns is any indicator there could be problems.
Tyrell Fenroy and ULL ran way too well.
Oct. 27
Tennessee 27 ... South Carolina 24 OT
Tennessee overcame a South Carolina comeback by forcing
overtime on a 48-yard Daniel Lincoln field goal, that was pushed
back five yards after a Vol false start penalty that ended up
bailing out a missed kick. Lincoln nailed his 27-yard attempt in
overtime, South Carolina's Ryan Succop missed his 40-yard attempt
wide right, and the Vols escaped. Tennessee had a 21-0 first half
lead on short runs from Arian Foster and Montario Hardesty, and a
five-yard Josh Briscoe catch, but South Carolina owned the second
half, as Blake Mitchell, in for Chris Smelley, ran for a score and
threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Kenny McKinley, to go along
with a 29-yard Cory Boyd scoring dash. South Carolina outgained
Tennessee 501 yards to 317.

The secondary can't stop anyone, the
running game was stuck in the mud, and Erik Ainge only threw for 216
yards, but the Vols still came up with the win over South Carolina
and is now within shouting distance of winning the East. Over the
next week against UL Lafayette, the offense has to find a groove
again. Inconsistency continues to be a problem, but this team
battles hard. That might be enough in this year's East.

Alabama 41 ... Tennessee 17
Alabama started out the game with an onside kick, leading to
the first of four Leigh Tiffin field goals, but got down 14-10 on a
three-yard Luke Stocker touchdown catch early in the second quarter.
And then the Tide passing game took over, as D.J. Hall caught second
quarter scoring passes from 16 and two yards out to start a 31-3 run
to close out the game. Tiffin connected from 39, 20, 42 and 44 yards
out, and Terry Grant, in for a suspended Glen Coffee, ran for an
eight-yard touchdown. Bama outgained Tennessee 510 yards to 362.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Just
when you think Tennessee is about to make a major move and become a
big player in the SEC race, it gets its doors blown off by Bama. The
defense has been the issue all season long, and this week, the
secondary couldn't handle the onslaught once John Parker Wilson got
hot. While that wasn't a shock, the lack of production from the Vol
passing game was surprising. The Tide secondary never let the Vol
receivers breathe. With four straight home games ahead, UT needs to
get back on track in a hurry with a win over South Carolina next
week. Win that, and it's right back in the title hunt until the
regular season ender at Kentucky.
Oct. 13
Tennessee 33 ... Mississippi State
Tennessee broke open a close game in the final 20 minutes on
three Daniel Lincoln field goals, but it was Lucas Taylor, who had a
huge day with 186 yards and a 51-yard touchdown, and Arian Foster,
who ran for 139 yards and a score, that carried the Vols. MSU made
it interesting with a 30-yard Anthony Dixon touchdown run and two
Wesley Carroll scoring passes, but the balanced UT offense proved to
be too much. The Vols outgained the Bulldogs 470 yards to 338.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
Tennessee offensive line came up with a whale of a game against
Mississippi State. While the final score, 33-21, might have been a
bit close, and it took a little while to put the game away, the line
allowed the offense to be as balanced and as effective as it's been
all year, while Erik Ainge got all the time he needed to throw. The
secondary was the only down side, giving up 203 yards to a mediocre
MSU passing game, but that's nitpicking. This was a nicer road win
than the Vols might get credit for.
Oct. 6
Tennessee 35 ... Georgia 14
Tennessee stunned Georgia by getting up 28-0 at halftime on
Arian Foster touchdown runs from nine and 22 yards out, a 56-yard
trick play pass from to Lucas Taylor, to LaMarcus Coker, and a ten-yard Montario Hardesty scoring dash. Georgia showed some life on the
first drive of the second half with a 26-yard Demiko Goodman scoring
grab, but Tennessee ended any comeback hopes with a four-yard Foster
run. Tennessee outgained Georgia 411 yards to 243.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Where has this Tennessee team been all season long? It ripped apart
Georgia with the speed, efficiency, and execution everyone was
waiting to see against California and Florida. Instead of the game
being put on Erik Ainge's shoulders, there was balance and
creativity to the playcalling, keeping the Dawgs on their heels
throughout the first half. Now, despite a 3-2 start, the Vols are
with South Carolina as the lead dogs in the East race. The Gamecocks
come to Knoxville on October 27th.
Sept. 22
Tennessee 48... Arkansas State 27
Erik Ainge threw four touchdown passes, and for a career high
334 yards, as Tennessee's passing game overcame the ground attack of
ASU. Ainge connected with Lucas Taylor for scores from 17 and 24
yards out, and he found Chris Brown and LaMarcus Coker for scores.
ASU was able to stay alive with a 54-yard interception return for a
touchdown, and two Josh Arauco field goals, but Ainge proved to be
too sharp. His 24-yard scoring pass to Taylor early in the fourth
quarter finally gave the Vols some breathing room.

Tennessee QB Erik Ainge completed 27 of 39 passes
for 334 yards and four touchdowns with an interception.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Tennessee allowed Arkansas State to hang around for too long, but
the offense was humming thanks to Erik Ainge, who played one of his
best games of his career. 11 different receivers caught passes, and
LaMarcus Coker ran well, as the Vols outgained ASU 188 rushing yards
to 178, but it was still a closer call than it probably should've
been. The defense simply isn't doing enough, so to get by Georgia in
two weeks, Ainge will likely have to keep bombing, and the offense
will have to find a way to get close to 500 yards. The linebackers
have to start playing better.
Sept. 15
Florida 59 ... Tennessee 20
Florida showed off all its speed and talent scoring in all
phases. Brandon James started off the scoring with an 83-yard punt
return for a touchdown and Tim Tebow threw for two scores and ran
for another, but Tennessee hung tough thanks to a 15-yard Chris
Brown touchdown catch and a 96-yard interception return for a score
from Eric Berry. But the Gators responded with a defensive touchdown
of its own on a fumble return for a score from Dustin Doe, and then
Percy Harvin put it away with an electrifying 19-yard touchdown run
as past of a 31-point run to close out the game.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
offensive line didn't do a good enough job to get the running game
going against Florida, but that wasn't the biggest problem. The
secondary had to try to make too many plays against Gators running
in space, while the defensive front got shoved around way too much.
How many sacks did the Vols come up with? None. There wasn't nearly
enough pressure on Tim Tebow, and there wasn't enough consistency on
offense. Tennessee, for one of the few times in recent history,
didn't appear to be athletic enough to play with Florida. Then
again, the Gators will look like that against a lot of teams.

Tennessee 39 ... Southern Miss 19
Southern Miss got up 16-10 late in the first half on three
field goals and a 69-yard Chris Johnson touchdown catch, but Tennessee
got a touchdown in the final minute on a five-yard catch from Josh
Briscoe, and then the rout was on. The Volunteers went on a 29-3 run
with Arian Foster running for two touchdowns and Daniel Lincoln
connecting on field goals from 36 and 47 yards out. The Golden Eagles
were held to 90 rushing yards and turned it over three times.

Tennessee can't be happy with the start against Southern Miss, but there
were great signs of life going into the Florida showdown. Erik Ainge
spread the ball around well to a slew of receivers, and Arian Foster ran
tough and well as the focal point of the attack in the second half. The
line is giving Ainge time to work, and he's making the most of it by
helping to make Austin Rogers and Lucas Taylor look great, and vice
versa. Maintaining an offensive balance will be vital next week.

California 45 ... Tennessee 31
In a wild game with a variety of big scoring plays, Cal kicked
things off with a 44-yard Worrell Williams fumble return for a
touchdown, got a brilliant 77-yard punt return for a touchdown from
DeSean Jackson, and got two scoring passes and a two-yard touchdown
run from Nate Longshore. Tennessee hung tough in a wild first half,
and pulled within seven by the fourth quarter with a five-yard
touchdown catch from Chris Brown and a 41-yard Daniel Lincoln field
goal. Just when it seemed like the Vols had the momentum, Cal went
on a 70-yard scoring drive finishing up with a 13-yard touchdown run
from Justin Forsett. Despite playing with a broken finger on his
throwing hand, Tennessee QB Erik Ainge threw for 271 yards and three

the defeat to Cal was a good day from QB Erik Ainge, who threw for
271 yards and three touchdowns with a broken finger. He spread the
ball around well and helped keep the offense moving in the first
half, but the defense didn't help out and the running game, outside
of one big run from Arian Foster, failed to do enough to keep the
Cal offense off the field. Cal's attack will tear up plenty of
teams, but this is Tennessee. It's not supposed to give up 471 yards
and 45 points to anyone. All can be forgiven against Florida in two
weeks, but a loss like this makes the seat that much hotter for Phil
Sept. 1 – at California
Offense: With Jeff Tedford at the controls, this is basically a
pro-style offense that mixes the run and the pass evenly, and puts up
points as quickly as any program in the country. The head coach will be
calling plays again after a one-year hiatus, meaning trick plays will be
more frequent than a year ago. The job of distributing the ball to an
array of speedy skill position players belongs to quarterback Nate
Longshore, a strong-armed junior that threw 24 touchdown passes in 2006
and a few too many picks. Although he has plenty of receivers to choose
from, none is more lethal than DeSean Jackson, a field-stretcher and
legit Heisman candidate. Super sub Justin Forsett takes over for
Marshawn Lynch at running back, where he'll be running behind an
outstanding veteran line. Center Alex Mack is on the All-American
doorstep after earning first team All-Pac-10 honors as a sophomore.
Defense: There's plenty of work to be done for a Cal defense that
begins a new era without its signature all-conference player at each of
the three defensive units. Outstanding recruiting by Jeff Tedford and
his staff in recent years ensures that the cupboard is far from empty,
but there'll be a learning curve early on in 2007. Of greatest concern
is a pass defense that gets modest support up front and will be relying
on a slew of green cornerbacks. Sophomore Syd'Quan Thompson and
redshirt freshman Darian Hagan look the part, but need to deliver once
Pac-10 plays begins. Junior Zack Follett is the budding star of a
linebacker unit that has the potential to be the next best thing to USC
in the conference.
Sept. 8 - Southern Miss
Offense: While it's become fashionable for programs across the
country to switch to some fancy derivative of the spread offense,
Southern Miss is content to pound the ball on the ground, control the
clock and let its defense win games. Sure, the Eagles prefer balance,
but in Hattiesburg, the run continues to set up the pass. Last year's
league-leading rusher, sophomore Damion Fletcher, is back for an encore,
and this time, he brought friends. Southern Miss is deep in the
backfield, which will take pressure off versatile, yet erratic, senior
quarterback Jeremy Young. His favorite target will again be tight end
Shawn Nelson, a future pro with All-America potential. For a change,
there are restless moments about an offensive line that's replacing
three starters, two of which were First Team All-Conference USA in 2006.
Defense: The "Nasty Bunch" defense that's become the trademark of
Southern Miss football under Jeff Bower should be one of the nation's
top ranked units in 2007. It's fast and experienced, and if Bower gets
his way, about to become as physical as his vintage teams of the late
1990s. The Eagles return nine starters, including the entire front
seven and five players that earned all-Conference USA recognition in
2006. Good luck moving the ball on this veteran group. If there's a
weak link on defense it's in the secondary, where two new starting
corners will be broken in. One way to help rookies Eddie Willingham and
Michael McGee will be to get more pressure on the quarterback than last
year, when USM was No. 81 in the country in sacks.
Sept. 15 – at Florida
Offense: Now it's time to see how this baby runs. Now the
Urban Meyer spread offense will do what it's supposed to with Tim Tebow
at the controls full-time, and with a slew of speedy players around him.
The offensive line isn't going to wow anyone, but it's experienced, and
good enough to win with. The receiving corps has explosion, led by Percy
Harvin, Andre Caldwell, and some tremendous tight ends, and the running
backs, with the emergence of smallish speedster Chris Rainey, will have
more pop. Now it's up to Tebow to not only shine, but stay healthy with
two true freshmen behind him.
Defense: This is what's called giving Florida the benefit of the
doubt. Anyone else replacing nine starters, needing a slew of true
freshman to play big roles right away, and/or had the issues the Gators
have on the line and at corner, would be instantly dismissed from any
SEC East title talk much less the national championship discussion. The
recruiting classes have brought in a ton of ultra-fast, ultra-athletic
player for the back seven, but there isn't enough size up front, or
developed depth anywhere, to hope for any sort of consistency. No,
things won't fall off the map after finishing sixth in the nation in
scoring and total defense, but there will be some major growing pains to
fight through.
Sept. 22 - Arkansas State
Offense: Run, run and run some more. At least that's what ASU has
done over the last several years, and it has the talent in the backfield
to do it again with speedy quarterback Corey Leonard leading a loaded
group of runners with several great backs to hand off to. Reggie Arnold
is the best of the bunch, but he's one of just four good options to
carry the load. Two problems with what ASU likes to do. 1. The line
needs major revamping losing three key players and 2) the receiving
corps might be the team's second biggest strength behind the running
backs. The underutilized corps has speed to burn, but Leonard couldn't
get them the ball on a consistent basis last season. That has to quickly
Defense: It's all up to the defensive line. The linebacking
corps, despite some huge losses, will be surprisingly solid with Koby
McKinnon returning with plenty of help around him. The safeties are
tremendous with Tyrell Johnson and Khayyam Burns each on the fast track
to All-Sun Belt honors. The corners are deep and potentially a major
strength of the defense. And then there's the line, which has to figure
out how to get to the quarterback at some point. The return of Brian
Flagg and Brandon Rollins from injuries will be a huge boost. The 4-3
alignment works, and it should produce the league's best statistical
pass defense.
Oct. 6 - Georgia
Offense: The offense was a disaster at times throughout an
inconsistent season, but that was to be expected with a true freshman at
quarterback, at times, injury problems at running back, and the team's
best receiver out. Now, sophomore QB Matthew Stafford appears on the
verge of being the superstar he's supposed to be, Thomas Brown is
expected to be back at some point to help out the running game, after
missing the second half of last year with a knee injury, and Sean Bailey
should be the number one target now that he's back from his knee injury.
The offense, at least early on, will revolve around big Kregg Lumpkin
and the running game, but the line needs to produce as well as it did
this spring. A mega-concern going into the off-season, now the front
five appears to be a strength.
Defense: Defensive coordinator Willie Martinez has his work cut
out for him. After losing star corner Paul Oliver to academic
ineligibility, the defense is woefully short on sure-thing veteran stars
with only three returning starters. There's plenty of potential, speed,
and athleticism, but several things have to happen for this to be nearly
as good as the number eight defense it was last year. The pass rush
should be there in time, but it might take the wheels of outside
linebackers Darius Dewberry and Dannell Ellerbe to generate some
consistent pressure early on. The secondary needs to unearth more big
play options, and a number one corner has to quickly emerge. While
undersized, the line is tough and should grow into a rock as the year
goes on. This will be a far, far better defense after a few games. By
then the coaching staff will have the right combination.
Oct. 13 – at Mississippi State
Offense: It might not be saying much, but this should be the best
offense yet under Sylvester Croom. The line gets four starters back,
with the fifth spot occupied by Mike Brown, a starter late in the year
and the best blocker up front. The receiving corps is easily the deepest
area on the offense with good talent and a world of upside, but QB
Michael Henig has to stay healthy and get them the ball consistently.
Anthony Dixon is an All-SEC caliber running back, and true freshman
Robert Elliott should become a fantastic backup. The overall depth is
lacking, so injury problems could be disastrous.
The whole will be better than the parts. The
Bulldogs couldn't hold down the better offensive teams last year, and
things might not be better right off the bat with tremendous concerns
all over the place after losing six key starters. There's plenty of
speed and athleticism, but this is a young, inexperienced defense
that'll have to force more turnovers and do a much better job of getting
to the quarterback. End Titus Brown and defensive back Derek Pegues are
All-SEC talents who have to be disruptive forces from day one. The line
needs more pass rushers, the linebacking corps has to do more against
the pass, and the secondary is relying on green corners so Pegues can
play safety.
Oct. 20 – at Alabama
Offense: Major Applewhite takes over as offensive coordinator and
will play around with several different formations and ideas, while
trying to stick with Nick Saban's run-first philosophy. He'll
incorporate a little bit of spread and four-wide sets. There's one
problem; Bama might not have the backs to run well on a consistent
basis. The strength is in the passing game with the great 1-2 receiving
tandem of D.J. Hall and Keith Brown working with rising passer John
Parker Wilson. The line welcomes back five starters led by soon to be
All-Everything tackle Andre Smith.
Defense: Former Florida State defensive coordinator Kevin Steele
came in and switched things up to a 3-4 in an attempt to jump-start a
woeful pass rush by getting more production from the outside
linebackers, led by a hybrid position of defensive lineman and
linebacker, manned by Keith Saunders. Wallace Gilberry and Bobby
Greenwood look the part of top ends, and now they have to start
producing. The biggest problem is tackle, where former backup center
Brian Motley, who looked great this spring, has to be an anchor for
everything to work right. The back eight should be excellent, led by
all-star corner Simeon Castille.
Oct. 27 - South Carolina
Offense: This should be a balanced attack that'll rely on the
running game early on and the steady play of emerging QB Blake Mitchell
to be more explosive and consistent than last year. The big concern is a
line that was overmatched throughout the spring as it tried to break in
three new starters. Getting a push for the nice 1-2 rushing punch of
Cory Boyd and Mike Davis is job one, while Mitchell will have to make
quick decisions early on until things start to come together. The loss
of Sidney Rice won't be a killer if Kenny McKinley handles the number
one job like he's expected to and a good number two emerges.
Defense: The defense has plenty of returning experience, depth,
young options waiting to step up and shine, and good stars to build
around. MLB Jasper Brinkley is one of the best in America, and now his
twin brother will move from defensive end to outside linebacker to help
out (though he might end up back on the line). The secondary is emerging
as a potential force if everyone starters to play consistently. There's
speed at corner, depth and experience at safety, and an emerging star in
SS Emanuel Cook. The defensive line has to be far better against the
run, and it should be with the return of Marque Hall from injury and the
emergence of freshman Ladi Ajiboye.
Nov. 3 - UL Lafayette
Offense: The nation's seventh best rushing team two years ago,
and 11th best last year, ULL will run more than ever with the return of
two-time 1,000-yard back Tyrell Fenroy, speedy Deon Wallace, and running
quarterback Michael Desormeaux. The receivers aren't used much, but
they're experienced enough to make plays when they get the chance. The
offensive line isn't deep, but the starting five will end up fine. The
team will hope for around 2,500 rushing yards, and around 60% completion
percentage throwing it.
Defense: New defensive coordinator Kevin Fouqueir won't change
too much from one of the Sun Belt's better defenses. Five starters
return, along with a few others with starting experience, to form a
solid run defense that needs to be tighter against the pass. The
secondary will give up completions, but it's not going to get beaten too
often. The front seven should be great with a nice blend of talents and
depth to form a good rotation almost everywhere. If ULL doesn't lead the
league in run defense, it'll finish second.
Nov. 10 - Arkansas
Offense: The Gus Malzahn experience quickly got pushed aside,
forgetting about his spread offense to better utilize the devastating
running attack. Now it'll be up to new offensive coordinator David Lee,
who'll try to run a pro style passing attack, but will spend most of his
time figuring out how to get the ball into the hands of the magnificent
running duo of Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. The line, despite the
loss of three starters, will be fantastic for the running game, but
suspect in pass protection. Marcus Monk is an elite receiver, but a
number two option has to emerge and Casey Dick has to throw the ball
effectively and consistently.
Defense: It'll be a good defense, but there are some big-time
talent losses in linemen Jamaal Anderson and Keith Jackson, corner Chris
Houston, and linebacker Sam Olajubutu. There's plenty of speed and
athleticism to go around in what should be a solid back seven, but
everyone has to stay healthy. The line needs tackle depth with Marcus
Harrison questionable after tearing his knee this spring. Overall,
coordinator Reggie Herring will keep things aggressive with tons of
plays in the backfield, along with lots of pressure applied by the
defensive backs.
Nov. 17 - Vanderbilt
Offense: The offense is loaded with experience with nine starters
returning including tackle Brian Stamper, who missed most of last year.
The line should be tremendous with five senior starters that know how to
pass protect and should be better for the running game. Junior receiver
Earl Bennett is one of the nation's most productive playmakers and
should finally start to get the attention he deserves. Quarterback Chris
Nickson is a dangerous run/pass combination with the potential to grow
into a star if he can cut down on his interceptions. The running backs
aren't special, but they're experienced.
Defense: Vanderbilt won't have one of the SEC's better defenses,
but it'll be far better with seven returning starters and plenty of
experience. Most importantly, there are plenty of all-stars to build
around. Tackle Theo Horrocks, end Curtis Gatewood, safeties Reshard
Langford and Ryan Hamilton, and linebacker Jonathan Goff and Marcus
Buggs are all capable of making All-SEC teams. The cornerbacks have to
shine, a second defensive tackle has to take the heat off Horrocks, and
the stars have to be stars for a major overall improvement. Coming up
with more turnovers would be nice, but just being better in all areas
might be enough to dramatically change the record.
Nov. 24 – at Kentucky
Offense: The Wildcat offense exploded last year thanks to the
emergence of Andre Woodson as a superstar quarterback. It'll be bombs
away once again, as Woodson chose to come back for his senior year and
will have all his weapons at his disposal. Keenan Burton finally stayed
healthy, and he became one of the SEC's most lethal receivers. Dicky
Lyons, tight end Jacob Tamme, and running back Rafael Little are also
back, with Little healthy enough again to be one of the SEC's best
all-around offensive weapons. The problem is the line, which is mediocre
at best, a liability at worst. It could be what keeps the Wildcats from
being special.
Defense: Defensive coordinator Mike Archer is gone, and now
former secondary coach Steve Brown will take over in an attempt to
revive one of the nation's worst defenses. The run defense won't be any
good again with little size up front, but the secondary should be better
with excellent speed and good young prospects. It'll take awhile to see
any improvement overall, but there's enough overall athleticism to
expect things to be a bit better.

Prestigious Scholarships
Prestigious scholarships are those that constitute competition on a national level and are high in prestige as well as remuneration. These are intensely competitive scholarships and are very difficult to win. Students compete at the very highest level against other students from the best academic institutions in America. Therefore, to be genuinely competitive, you must be excellent in virtually all respects. To better understand what this means, we strongly recommend reading Dr. John Martell Jr.'s Prestigious Scholarships - An Overview.
The scholarships summarized here are the Rhodes, British Marshall, Goldwater, Truman and Udall. These are nationally competitive scholarships. In order to be competitive the student must prepare long in advance and make a serious commitment of time and energy, up to 40 hours, for the application. Generally, a GPA of 3.8 to 4.0 is required. Applicants work through the Lee Honors College, which determines the possibility of an institutional endorsement for that applicant. For additional information please email Scott Friesner at firstname.lastname@example.com.
It is important to note that for finalists, oral interviews are a part of most prestigious scholarship competitions. If the student is a finalist in the process, preparation will be required to discuss ideas, defend positions, debate issues, etc. Also, while requirements vary with each scholarship, all scholarships have in common the necessity of advanced preparation. You may need at least a year or two to build credentials.
The Rhodes Scholarship
Normally due to the honors college by early September.
In addition to proven, outstanding academic and intellectual achievement (this should include individualized study, research and creative activities), the Rhodes applicant is required to show integrity of character, interest in and respect for fellow human beings, and the ability to lead. In other words, to be a successful candidate, you must do far more than excel in academics. You must provide examples of what have you done to show the kind of a person you are, whom you helped and how, and examples of how you have been a leader and what you have accomplished in the larger world.
Also, an important part of the application is a 600-word essay that must be of a high intellectual caliber. This essay reveals the quality of your mind, and your ability to think synthetically. In addition to a persuasive presentation of your academic interests, you must convince the readers of your desire to study at the University of Oxford, and what your program of study will be. This requires you to do research on Oxford. To be successful, you must learn something about its programs and faculty. Please be prepared to write several drafts of this essay. Finally, you must have at least six excellent academic recommendations. So, you must work well and intensively with faculty, from whom you hope to get the strongest recommendations possible.
The British Marshall Scholarship
Normally due to the honors college in early September.
Like the Rhodes, this requires a high degree of academic achievement. Outstanding grades, awards, scholarships or grants are necessary. Two essays are also necessary. There is a 1,000-word essay in which you describe your academic interests and pursuits. Again, it is the quality of your ideas, erudition and imagination that are of the utmost importance.
In addition to the above essay, The British Marshall requires a second essay of 500 words. This is vitally important and requires research. You must explain why you are pursuing this particular course of study, and why you must attend the British institution you have chosen to advance your studies and career. You must, in advance, find out which UK institutions offer the program of study you want and why the program is important to you. This will take time, so start soon. You should expect to do several drafts of these essays. (Your program may have other requirements, like language proficiency.)
The Goldwater Scholarship
Normally due to the honors college in early January.
The characteristics the Goldwater Foundation seeks in candidates: commitment to a career in math, natural sciences or engineering; a student of promise who displays intellectual intensity; and potential for significant future contribution in his/her field. This is clearly a research-oriented award where the candidates are expected to pursue a doctoral degree, or medical degree in research.
Students are expected to have national research experience or independent investigation of a theory relevant to his/her field. This means preparing in advance so that you can present a convincing case that you fulfill these requirements. Close research with a faculty member is a necessity.
Additionally, you will have to write about your career aspirations and how you will achieve them; any activities or experiences that will clarify your motivation for a career in science; and a 600-word essay on a significant issue or problem in your field of study that you will research. This latter essay requires much thought and preparation. Here too, the committee will be looking for the quality of your mind as well as your experience.
The Truman Scholarship
Normally due to the honors college in early January.
The GPA of the winner of the Truman is 3.8 or higher, one indicator of academic excellence. But more is required of the Truman Scholar. Among other qualifications, the applicant must have an extensive record of public and community service, be committed to a career in government or some other part of the public sector, and also show outstanding leadership potential. To acquire these credentials may take time and it is best to start as early as the freshman year.
To write a successful application you must be able to give examples of leadership, describe your public service, describe the needs and problems you will address when you enter public service, and write an 800-word essay on a significant public policy issue or problem in your intended area of study. This takes some research time. The Truman Foundation expects you to put in at least 40 hours to prepare your application. (Recommendations are very important and must represent the diversity of your experience.)
The Udall Scholarship
The Udall is a scholarship for students who will be committed to a career in environmental preservation or of Native American tribal health/policy and requires a lot of preparation for the following reasons: first, you must have courses in public policy and ethics outside your environmental science major. Thus you must plan your schedule early. Second, extensive public service and community activities related to public policy and environment are necessary and also take time to acquire. Finally, in a 600-word essay you must discuss Congressman Udall's major achievements and what they mean to you. This requires much advanced research and thought. All of the above must be tied into a solid perspective that elucidates your motivation for a career in environmental public policy, usually through law school and then public office.
Note: For the Rotary Ambassadorial and Fulbright information contact Dr. Donald McCloud, Dean of the Haenicke Institute, at email@example.com or (269) 387-3951. For information on The USA Today All Academic Team and the Gates Cambridge contact Scott Friesner of the Lee Honors College at firstname.lastname@example.com or (269) 387-3230.

Bachelor of Arts in Letters, Arts, and Sciences
Letters, Arts, and Sciences is a multi-disciplinary major that gives students the opportunity to design their own program within certain prescribed boundaries. With the assistance of an adviser, students develop a unique academic program that thematically links courses from different disciplines. This individualized course of study is especially designed for adult students who have some college credits and want an interdisciplinary program and for students who desire the flexibility to prepare for specialized careers for which there are no specific academic majors available.
Students who have earned an associate degree or who completed at least 60 college credits may apply for direct enrollment in the Letters, Arts, and Sciences program. If a student has not attended college or completed 60 or more college credits, they may enroll in either the associate degree program in Letters, Arts, and Sciences or Business to prepare for this major. Only students with less than 75 credits, completed in prior majors or at other institutions, will be considered for entrance to this major.
To earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Letters, Arts, and Sciences, a minimum of 120 credits is required in the following areas: General Education: 45 credits; Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements: 12 – 24 credits; Major Requirements: 36 credits; and Electives: 18 – 30 credits. The program includes four core skills requirements: research proficiency, critical thinking, application of theory, and communications skills. In consultation with an academic adviser, students design their own program, selecting upper level courses that support their interests and goals. Students may design a study track in Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences, or Business, which can include a minor that is offered by the college. Students must write a proposal explaining their academic plan, which will be reviewed and approved by the Program Coordinator.
Interested students should first read the Letters, Arts, and Sciences Student Guide (available online below) and then contact the Penn State Harrisburg Admissions office at (717)948-6250 to schedule an appointment with an Admissions Counselor. Interested students will then be referred to an LAS Academic Adviser, who will assist in the development of a proposal for completion of the Letters, Arts, and Sciences Program.

The decades-long glut of horror movies cannot help but numb the regular filmgoer to the shocks, effects and jolts that are standard issue in this weary genre.
Too many vampires, serial killers, zombies or alien beasties, too many shrieking, bleeding coeds or gutted jocks and eviscerated cops, and the movies lose their sting.
Then a film like Youre Next comes along and reminds us that all you need to suck fans into your movie are people in jeopardy, pitiless killers and those one or two victims who fight back and win our sympathy.
The adult children of a wealthy couple (Barbara Crampton, Rob Moran) gather in their country house to help them celebrate a wedding anniversary. We barely have time to pick up on the friction over Crispian (A.J. Bowen), an academic, dating a student (Sharni Vinson) something brother Drake (Joe Swanberg) disapproves of and the disconnect between hipster brother Felix (Nicholas Tucci), his Goth girlfriend Zee (Wendy Glenn) and bubbly sister Aimee (Amy Seimetz), who is dating a filmmaker.
Then the crossbow bolts come crashing through the window, nobodys cellphone works, and people in the house start dying at the hands of hooded, animal-masked intruders. Is it a random act, part of a spree (weve seen neighbors slaughtered) or some sort of Satanic ritual?
Youre Next reaches for laughs with its cheap scares and bizarre reactions to life-or-death situations. People volunteer to go out there where the killers are, and get in a car to fetch help, or go upstairs alone to check out a noise.
Youre Next was shelved for a couple of years. But not because it is damaged goods. The frights are passable, the foreshadowing telling and the humor sick as it is quite funny.
So seriously, if you see just one slaughterhouse horror picture this year

A group of seven major international aid agencies said they face a shortfall of $89 million just when the South Sudan humanitarian crisis edges closer to the risk of famine.
One year after the declaration of famine in Somalia, a quarter of the country's population are still surviving on humanitarian aid and over a million people could fall back into food crisis in the next two months.
Through the generous help of our supporters, Oxfam has provided life-giving support to more than 2.8 million across drought-striken areas of Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia.
On the eve of the 2012 African Cup of Nations, more than 25 footballers have spoken out in solidarity with millions of people facing hunger across their region.
Aid groups urge the U.S. government, the bank and hawala merchants to work together to find a cooperative solution that will not disrupt or delay the transfer of assistance from the Diaspora to Somalia.
European Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs Kristalina Georgieva endorsed today a Charter, launched by leading agencies, to make deadly food crises like the one gripping East Africa a thing of the past.

New Hampshire - More Action Needed to Protect Privacy

New Hampshire - More Action Needed to Protect Privacy
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends:
The House Education Committee met in executive session last week, and
a majority of the committee recommended passing Senate Bill 503 with
amendments. The bill is scheduled to be heard by the full House of
Representatives on Wednesday, May 12.
If passed, this bill would require postsecondary institutions to
request and maintain a Unique Pupil Identifier (UPI) for all students
enrolled in their respective schools. The House Education Committee
amended the bill to allow parents of children in early education
programs to deny consent to participate and to improve the bill's
privacy protections. However, the bill still affects homeschoolers
who enroll in post secondary institutions by requiring these
institutions to request a UPI.
Representative Ingbrestson and others have drafted an amendment which
we support that will explicitly prohibit postsecondary institutions
from obtaining a UPI for any student who does not already have a UPI.
This would protect the privacy of homeschool students, private school
students, and out-of-state students who were not previously entangled
with the public school system.
Please take action, as requested below, to protect the privacy of your
Please contact your representative by May 11, and give the following
message in your own words:
"Please support amending Senate Bill 503 to add more protections for
the privacy of New Hampshire private school students, homeschooled
students and students who received their education out of state.
Parents and children who opt out of public education should not be
subjected to such data collection. If this bill passes without the
amended language, students who never attended a public school will be
required to be assigned a unique pupil identifier. If the purpose of
this bill is to link public school performance to performance in
preschool or college, then there is no need for private or
homeschooled students to be assigned a UPI."
Because this bill will affect many privately educated students, it is
not necessary to identify yourself as a homeschooler. To find your
representative visit www.hslda.org/toolbox .
Thank you for your efforts to defend the privacy of homeschoolers.
Standing with you,
Michael P. Donnelly, Esq.

(NSUH) and the teamed up to open the Procedural Pain Management Center, a state-of-the-art outpatient facility in Lake Success specializing in treating adults of all ages with acute and chronic pain conditions, a recent press release reported.
The goal of the Procedural Pain Management Center is to prevent pain before it becomes chronic. In doing so, the center provides several different injection treatments to reduce and alleviate pain.
The center is staffed by fellowship-trained physicians credentialed in pain management, burses with experience in ambulatory surgery or critical care, radiology technicians and support staff, the press release stated.
Physicians of the NSUH Procedural Pain Mangement Center include: Robert Duarte, MD; Shaheda Quarishi, MD; Joseph Rothenberg, MD; Edward Rubin, MD; Vikas Varma, MD and Amir Annabi, MD.
John DiCapua, MD, chairman and vice president of anesthesiology at NSUH and LIJ Medical Center was quoted in the press release saying, "The power of injections is that medication is delivered to a targeted location in the body where the pain is, and there are fewer side effects compared to pain medications, which are used to treat the whole body."
During the hour-long procedure, patients receive local anesthesia to numb the area of the body being treated and remain awake. No sedation or major anesthesia is necessary, which reduces risks and shortens recovery time.
For more information, contact the NSUH Procedural Pain Management Center, Department of Anesthesiology at 516-233-3780.

Your Turn, NH: The political bullying of NH school children continues
One of the most profound impressions ever made on me was when, as a young man in the 1980s, I travelled along the border between China and Hong Kong. I vividly remember watching the people on the Chinese side laboring in the rice fields, literally in the shadow of the gun towers which sprouted from the barbed wire at frequent intervals. At the end of the day, my wife and I crossed back to the other side of the wire beyond which lay freedom and prosperity.
For our Chinese guide and the folks in the fields, however, that was a forbidden land. How unimaginably galling it must have been for them to peer through that barrier every day of their lives, and see Nirvana so close and yet so unattainable.
Years later I realized that the most telling feature of any wall is the posture of the guards. The Chinese guards on the border, like their counterparts who once manned the equally dismal Berlin Wall, were not defending their fellow citizens against outside attack. They were facing inwards, preventing escape. Arch bullies, one and all.
Not all walls are physical structures. The wall that has been erected around our public schools is purely economic, yet it traps those it surrounds equally as effectively as any barbed wire. Escape is theoretically feasible, but it comes with a price tag that is beyond the means of most families. To leave is to forgo, for some completely unfathomable reason, all access to a share of the substantial funding that society allocates to education. All of the money must stay behind.
Those whose educational preferences lean towards a different sort of school, outside the wall, are bereft of financial "cherishing" - children of a lesser God, apparently.
Recently, however, the tiniest of cracks appeared in the financial wall. The Scholarship Act of 2012 allowed small grants to go to lower-income families in order to make it easier for them, like their wealthier counterparts, to choose a non-public school for their children. Not surprisingly, perhaps since students in non-public schools pass Advanced Placement exams at four times the rate of their public school peers, the act was an attractive proposition for many. Five hundred children in the state have applied already.
Although the amount of money involved represents less than two tenths of one percent of what is consumed annually by the public schools, and it is not even dispensed from government coffers, the usual guards rushed to their ramparts. Teachers union lobbyists, superintendents and the school boards association, all facing most definitely inwards, howled with one voice, "No escape!"
And so was born the repeal act, House Bill 370, among the most shameful legislative efforts ever to stain the honor of the State House chambers. School choice is a concept that has egalitarianism and fairness writ large all over it. By every measure of common sense, it should be in the vanguard of the political platform of the Democratic Party, leveling life's most fundamental playing field by providing equal educational opportunity to the less fortunate.
But HB 370, backed almost universally by Democrats, opposes safeguarding the interests of the downtrodden. HB 370 seeks to obliterate choice, to shore up the wall and to cement the monopoly of the public unions. And what if you're one of those 500 lower-income kids yearning for nothing more than a chance? Too bad.
If you're looking for school bullying, try that one on for size.
Notwithstanding the fact that her own daughter attended the very private Phillips Exeter Academy (where the Hassan family lives and the governor's husband is in charge), our new governor, Maggie Hassan, is an active supporter of school choice repeal. Surely, in the entire spectrum of political hypocrisy, there is nothing that quite compares to wealthy officials who exercise school choice for their own families while denying it to others less financially fortunate. Count Gov. Hassan, too, among the ranks of the school bullies.
The public school lobby, on the whole, prides itself on efforts made to identify bullies. Plainly, a mirror would be a useful addition to its toolbox in that regard. The most effective method of stamping out school bullying, though, would be if the Senate resoundingly rejects HB 370 and sends an unequivocal message:
"Governor Hassan, tear down that wall!"

On September 3rd, I reposted a piece that appeared in Xconomy, written by Shawn Iadonoto - CEO of Seattle's Kineta. In it, he noted that problem with funding in the biotech industry for early translational research in the developing drugs. He opined that th eFederal government should look to change its funding formula to allow more NIH money to flow to private companies for translational research veruse its current heavy focus on funding basic research in universities and hospital research programs.
Today, we have a post on a similar topic - that being the more difficult funding situation for translational research - especially with venture capital being much tighter than in the past. In this post, by Seeking Alpha's Jason Chew, he writes about the strategy he sees emerging to allow small biotech's to bridge the "Valley of Death" to allow new technologies to reach proof of concept stage. He talks about the current NIH funding formula and it is clear that there is not that much money devoted to early stage proof of feasibility reaserch. What is available from the NIH, comes in the form of phase I and phase II SBIR grants. According to Chew, only 0.03% of VC funding actulally goes to seed stage projects due to their high risk of failure. Unfortunately, the number of applicants for SBIR funding is on the rise and this mechanism can't resource everyone deserving.
Jason's prediction? Firstly, and this cannot be considered a surprise, the industry will shake out. There are more biotech's and redundant projects out there than can be sustained. Let's face it. It is a normal stage of evolution for every industry to experience consolidation as it matures. Biotech is reaching the 30 yr mark or so and is certainly crossing that point where consolidation should be expected. Jason expects two model to emerge as viable:
- Hybrid biotech's with strong platform technology
- Virtual biotech's with strong managment teams that outsource all operations
The former have a strong IP position and can generate additional cash by licensing their technology to industry players while developing their own pipeline too. The latter focus on speed and cost containment. It is the "virtuals" who can fill the niche of translational work and provide proof's needed to keep projects/technologies going. These companies will manage multiple projects, build core expertise in management and provide financial wherewithal to bridge te "Valley of Death". Then the Big Boys can buy the projects to bring them to market after they've been de-risked.
With the virtual model, "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil" - or lack of funding.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Milwaukee woman featured on "Bridezilla" finale
The season 8 finale of "Bridezillas" features a Milwaukee woman named Cristal, according to the WE network. The episode airs Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. According to the network:
"This bridezilla does not shy away from confrontation, stooping so low as to unleashing her rage on an unsuspecting homeless man asking for spare change.
"Then when she suspects someone of mocking her during her bachelorette party, Cristal throws a drink in his face.
"But is it on her wedding day when she finds out that her cake topper is broken that Cristal really loses it, leaving her a blubbering mess. Will this bridezilla make it down the aisle?"
The network does not divulge the full names of those appearing on the show - but here are a few vital statistics: She us 24 years old and is an appraisal coordinator. Her husband is 22 and a supervisor at a food market. They met in high school, and they were married June 25.

Yum! These turned out great. I didn't have any frozen orange juice concentrate, so I used regular orange juice. I also boiled the marinade at the end to use as a sauce, which was good too.
The flavor of these were great. I used thick chops and broiled them for 8 minutes on each side. They turned out really moist and flavorful. I would make this again.
Carrie Magill
We really enjoyed this, and it was a great way to use up some BBQ sauce whose flavor we didn't care for by itself. We added some extra garlic, and cooked the chops on a Foreman grill for about 20 minutes, and they turned out great. Not very spicy at all, so if that's what you're looking for, maybe throw in some crushed red peppers too.

What is the 100th Day of School?
The 100th day of school is literally the 100th day of the school year. More importantly, it is a great way for elementary school teachers to celebrate the various mathematical concepts that can be taught using the number 100. From the very first day of school, classes begin keeping track of the number of days they've been in school in anticipation of the 100th day. It's this anticipation that is actually the first math lesson, as the days are often marked using coffee stirrers or Popsicle sticks, ten of which become a "ten bundle," paving the way to counting by tens and ones.
When is the 100th Day of School?
The 100th day of school will vary from school to school, depending on when school started and whether or not there were days off for teacher workshops or inclement weather. Most classes end up celebrating the 100th day of school sometime in February, usually right around Valentine's Day.
What Will my Child Do on the 100th Day of School?
There are hundreds of activities and lesson plans devoted to the 100th day of school and many books written to help celebrate the day. A few of the more common activities include:
- Bringing in a collection of 100 items on that day.
- Doing ten sets of ten different exercises (jumping jacks, sit-ups, etc.) as a way to learn the concept that ten sets of ten makes 100.
- Exploring the differences in size, weight and length of different groups of a hundred. (For example, the weight of 100 pennies vs. the weight of 100 cotton balls.)
- Writing about what you would do if you had 100 dollars, what you will look and feel like when you are 100 years old or creating a dictionary of 100 words you can read and write.
- Putting together 100-piece puzzles.
- Making patterns or necklaces using 100 beads or Fruit Loops.
- Filling in a hundreds chart.

Options trading is considered by many traders (both new traders and experienced traders alike) to be extremely complicated and is therefore often avoided (possibly to the detriment of the trader's profit / loss). While options trading is more complicated than many other forms of trading (e.g. forex trading, etc.), options trading is relatively straightforward as long as the basics of options trading are learned correctly, and one such options trading basic is knowing how to use some of the options greeks.
The options greeks (often just known as the greeks) are a series of formulae and values that represent various relationships between options (and warrants) markets and their underlying markets or financial instrucments. The options greeks are so called because they are identified by greek alphabetical letters (e.g. delta or Δ). The options greeks are used by options traders in a variety of different ways depending upon the exact type of options trading that is being performed, but the options greeks are often associated with risk management. The options greeks are therefore sometimes known as the risk measures or hedging parameters of options markets.
Sensitivity Information
The options greeks provide a variety of information about the sensitivity of options markets with regard to price changes in their underlying markets. In other words, how closely an option will track (i.e. move in relation to) its underlying market, and how much the option's price will change as the underlying market's price changes.
It is a common misconception among new options traders that options track their underlying markets directly (i.e. a one point price change in an underlying market corresponds to a one point price change in its options markets). Options do track their underlying markets, but not directly, and the level of tracking can vary significantly over the life of an option (or warrant).
Many of the options greeks (including delta which is discussed below) change their value and their relationship to their underlying financial market over time, so how an options greek will change over time could need to be considered when choosing an options market depending upon the trade that is being made (e.g. the options greek delta determines how closely an options market follows its underlying market, and as the options greek delta changes over time, the relationship between the options market and the underlying market will also change over time).
How the Options Greeks are Used in Options Trading
The most commonly used options greeks are the first order derivatives delta (Δ), theta (Θ), vega (v, but not actually a greek alphabetical letter), and rho (ρ), and the second order derivative gamma (Γ). These are the options greeks that provide the sensitivity information that is most often used by options traders, and traders who trade options as a way of trading their underlying markets (e.g. trading a stock index via its options or warrants markets).
An example of one of the most useful options greeks is delta (Δ). Delta (Δ) represents the rate of change of an options market's price in relation to its underlying market's price. In other words, delta (Δ) indicates how closely an option will track its underlying market, and how much the option's price will change in relation to the underlying market's price.
For example, a delta (Δ) of 0.75 indicates that an option will track its underlying market at a rate of 75%, so that every one point of price movement in the underlying market would be reflected by 0.75 points of price movement in the option.
Delta (Δ) therefore provides useful information in determing which options contracts should be traded for a specific type of trade, and how many options contracts should be traded, in order to directly track a specific underlying market.
