Florida Gators vs. Tennessee Volunteers Complete Game Preview
By Allison Banko ,
The Gators and Vols enter Saturday stained with one loss each, but Saturday's contest signals the teams' start to an untested crusade: conference play.
Both squads unwrap their SEC seasons in The Swamp for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff, marking their 43rd meeting in their schools' histories. No. 19 Florida clutches the series advantage (23-19) and is cruising on an eight-game winning streak against Tennessee—a series best. Most recently, UF topped UT, 37-20 last year in Knoxville.
The Gators (1-1) play host fresh off a bye week, when they spent two days strictly on themselves following a mistake-ridden, undisciplined drop to Miami. UF Coach Will Muschamp told the media Monday the team spent the beginning of last week with an internal focus before shifting sights on the Vols.
Though Florida boasts a break from competition, Tennessee (2-1) comes into the contest with an open wound from Oregon's 59-14 beating in Week 3. However, prior to that, the Vols had chalked up two blowouts of their own in a 45-0 win versus Austin Peay and a 52-20 victory over Western Kentucky.
Will The Vols seize Saturday's opportunity to redeem themselves after their loss to Oregon? Or will Florida continue its winning streak against the Vols and benefit from additional prep time? It's their first conference test of the season, and both still have plenty to prove.
When: Saturday, Sept. 21; 3:30 p.m. ET
Where: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, Fla.
Radio: Siruis 91, XM 91,
Spread: Florida (-17.5), via SportsChatPlace.com
Put the gun down
UF's major issues right now have little to do with their opponents and plenty to do with themselves. Against the Vols, the Gators' key to success will be overcoming those internal hurdles. Florida has been shooting itself in the foot this season with plenty of undisciplined play—especially evident against the Canes where they were laden with substitution errors, lack of production in the red zone and penalties.
Tennessee doesn't pose any major threats, making Florida's biggest villain itself.
Quarterback Jeff Driskel said, "On an off-week you do work on yourself before you get into your opponent, so it timed out well for us" (via GatorZone.com).
Get a grip
...on the ball. Florida didn't do itself any favors in its loss to Miami, slipping into five turnovers and giving up 14 points. Lack of ball security is undoubtably the Gators' main killer at this point in the season. Currently, UF ranks last in the SEC in turnover margin (-4).
Master mental toughness
In his opening remarks to the media this week, UT coach Butch Jones said, "right now, moving forward, we are not a very mentally tough football team" (UTSports.com). Jones pinned a hefty chunk of the Vols' downfall to the Ducks to a lack of attention to "small details," including 16 missed tackles. Jones elaborated:
If you (asked me), 'What's the biggest area of improvement?' It's becoming a much more mentally tough football team. Proving that you can go on the road and handle all the distractions that it takes in preparation before the game, but also on game day as well.
Saturday marks Tennessee's second consecutive road game and yet another hostile environment. If the Vols thought it was difficult to focus at Oregon, they're in for a rude awakening when they come to Florida.
Speed up
Of course the Vols were going to look like the chubby kid in gym class against the Ducks' top notch, fast offense. But moving into SEC play, addressing the team's lack of speed is going to be crucial. While Jones said there are only so many things you can do to make your team faster, UT can work on upping its pace by reading keys better and not letting their minds tie their feet up. "Football is a game of instincts and reactions," Jones said. "I didn't think that we reacted as quickly as we needed to. We have to develop our speed."
This will be key against UF's elite defense. There will be no time for hesitation.
Jon Halapio (RG, Redshirt Sr.)
Florida's offense returns a major starter this weekend in Halapio. He was sidelined from preseason practice and the Gators' first two games of the season due to a pectoral injury, but will make his season debut at right guard against the Vols. Halapio started every game of 2011 and 2012 at right guard, and at this point, UF needs all of the experience on offense it can get. Will his comeback mark another rusty offensive return for the Gators or is the veteran leader just the right remedy for the struggling offense?
Vernon Hargreaves, III (CB, Fr.)
The freshman is making his mark for the Gators early on this season, currently leading the team in interceptions with one per game thus far. Against Miami, he recorded three unassisted tackles. No doubt he'll continue to develop into a top player for the Gators as the season burns on. Hargreaves' impressive performances this season earned him high praise from coach Will Muschamp Monday (via GatorZone.com):
We'll play freshmen when they're ready and this guy's ready, that's the bottom line. He's been productive at practice, he's been productive in games. I'm young, but I'm old-fashioned that it doesn't just snap on game day and all the sudden it happens that the guy plays really well. Vernon produces in practice every single day going back to camp, day one all the way through when he was injured, then he came back off his injury and was productive again and he does it on game day. That's why he's playing and is a guy that's going to be in the rotation as far as starting.
Florida's full depth chart is here.
Daniel McCullers (DL, Sr.)
UF coach Will Muschamp talked about McCullers on Monday, saying "he's a hard guy to move" (GatorZone.com). "Hard" is putting it mildly. The 6'8, 351-lb. senior defensive lineman received national attention last season for his impressive size in a USA Today article penned by Dan Wolken. McCullers boasts six tackles for Tennessee this season, four of which were unassisted. He posted three unassisted tackles in Tennessee's 37-20 loss to Florida last season, marking him as a leading tackler for the game. Keep an eye on McCullers to see if he rises to the occasion against Florida again this season.
Justin Worley (QB, Jr.)
As our own Brad Shepard wrote, Worley is on a short leash. While he's got the start in Gainesville, coach Butch Jones made it clear in his press conference that the QB starter spot is currently up for grabs (via UTSports.com):
We may open it up and give more repetitions. Obviously we have to prepare the guys that are going to play in the game. You have to earn your spot each and every week. We will see what the freshman can handle. Nathan Peterman continues to progress along... I just think competition is healthy. It is going to be a week-to-week process, who can manage the offense the best.
Worley has struggled with unforced errors and Jones is demanding more aggression from the junior. While Saturday isn't the ideal spot to give a new QB a start, it could be the last start for Worley. Tennessee is likely to opt for younger, more talented options moving into the midseason competition. The Swamp will set the stage for Worley to fight for his starting spot or pave the way for a replacement.
Tennessee's full depth chart is here.
Florida head coach Will Muschamp in Monday's press conference (via GatorZone.com):
We just need to take care of Florida. And we'll get Tennessee's best effort, and Oregon's got a good football team, so we just need to take care of Florida and start the SEC schedule, their tempo and momentum will be a lot different walking in there I assure you that.
It's still a huge rivalry, it's still a very important game to the University of Florida. There's no question because of the prominence that both schools had in the 90s, it was a leadoff game for CBS it seemed like every single year, so there's no question it's got great, great history. It's a huge game for both teams."
Florida junior quarterback Jeff Driskel (via GatorZone.com):
No one's been able to stop us when we haven't had a turnover or a penalty. So just worrying about us first and then taking care of the other team second. If we can handle us, we'll be fine.
Tennessee head coach Butch Jones in Monday's media session (via UTSports.com):
Losing will never ever be tolerated here or accepted at the University of Tennessee and it's unacceptable. You can search for all the excuses that you want, but winning is a habit and losing is a habit and it's unacceptable. Our players are going to understand that. It means talks about your week of preparation, it means players stepping up and making big time plays, it's preparing our team.
All I know is the present. It is Team 117. It is a great rivalry game, versus a great football program, a well-coached football team with great football players on the road in a great environment. It is a great opportunity but it is going to take everything that we have. We must be the team that overachieves Saturday. Our players understand the rivalry, what is at stake. I think they understand what has gone on before them. The only thing we can control is our preparation and how we play on Saturday.
Tennessee senior offensive lineman Ja'Waun James on playing in The Swamp (via UTSports.com):
As older players, we've played in so many places that it really doesn't affect us. We've just got to go out here and prepare. Coach Jones does a good job with crowd noises and things like that to distract us at practice, so if we prepare, I feel like we can play anywhere. You can't put the venue as an excuse.
Sadly, this game comes down to one question: Whose team is worse? The answer is Tennessee's. Both teams have plenty to discover about themselves at this early point in the season, but the Vols have too much to overcome to pull off an upset. With Florida's bye week, the Gators have had plenty of time to prepare for a game they were already predicted to win marginally. However, while Tennessee's wide-gapped loss to Oregon has some thinking Florida will run up the scoreboard, keep in mind that comparing the Ducks' offense to the Gators' is apples to oranges. It'll be a low-scoring game, but a double-digit win for Florida.
Florida 24, Tennessee 10

Facelift Required
This old fella needs bringing back into the new century and is looking for some sound advice.
I remain the proud owner of the following kit and woud like to know what anyone would suggest as the modern day replacement, or if it happens to still cut the mustard.
I'm also interested to hear what you guys think of wireless speakers and whether anyone believes they can beat some good old thick speaker cable.
Current kit list includes:
Rotel RA-921 Amplifier
AIWA XC 300 CD Player
Dennon TU 260L II Tuner
JPW Mini Monitor Speakers
There's also my old Dual turntable stashed in the loft, but even I admit defeat on this one!
Thank you for your assistance.
Well your budget and room details would be real nice to know but right off the bat I'd say only replace that amplifier if you find it isn't loud enough (unless your budget is high) I've personally never had any faith in anything AIWA so I'd sling the CD player out and something better. I might even consider a budget SACD player... but when browsing for SACD's it has to be said.. it REALLY helps justify an SACD player purchase if you are a classical music fan... or a Genesis fan because they seem to hold the disc monopoly. There have been others but it's usually just one album. Like Pink Floyd have Dark Side on SACD which is awesome, but dangit I want shine out you crazy diamond on SACD.
Anyway, the tuner (I'm guessing) is not DAB enabled so if you still value your radio listening then I'd invest in a decent DAB tuner. i don't listen to the radio though so I can't really suggest anything even if I did know what you were after;) What I will say though, is that if radio is your primary listening area then a good DAB tuner would probably be the most significant performance increase for your system particularly for the medium wave stuff.
Speakers.. I think a friend of mine had the speakers you talk of at uni. Small but suprisingly punchy. I'm guessing you have them on stands and I'm also guessing you don't want big intrusive speakers. You might want to consider the picture frame piezo electric speakers which are just that.. pictures you hang on the wall that are also speakers I think wharfedale came out with a set and I know others have too. Failing that why not try auditioning monitor audios BR2's (not the BR1's) they have a nice kick and the pertinant advantage the 2's have over the 1's is a higher sensitivity (90db vs 88db) which you will benefit from because you amplifier is only 25 watts per channel. not to mention the better bass response etc..
But yes, when looking for speakers to match that amp I would look for ones with a higher sensitivity (average is around 88-89 db). If you have a larger budget then the GS10's keep getting good things told about them... but I feel they would be totally wasted on your current amplifier.
It really bogs down to how much you are willing to spend and what is more important to you in terms of sound source. CD, radio.... TV? or all 3.... i.e. I wouldn't replace somehting you don't really use much.. unelss that fact it sound rubbish is why you don't use it much;)

Richard Dawkins is an agnostic? Well, obviously
Richard Dawkins, the world's most famous atheist (© all newspapers) is, it turns out, an agnostic! What a climbdown! Not so cocky now, eh, professor? In a debate with the magnificently eyebrowed Archbishop of Canterbury, the great evolutionary biologist said that he can't be certain that God doesn't exist, and that he would call himself an agnostic.
Except that Dawkins said exactly that – even down to the "6.9 out of seven" description of his level of surety that there is no God – ages ago. Early on in what is (in my view unjustly) his most famous work, The God Delusion, he points out that no one can have total certainty that God does or does not exist. For that matter, you can't have total certainty that tables, Volkswagens, Adrian Chiles or Bridport exist. You can't, as the philosophers have it, prove that you're not a brain in a jar. But we don't go around in a state of metaphysical doubt about these things; let's face it, we're all pretty happy to assume that the thing we eat our dinner off is really there.
Likewise with God. In The God Delusion, Dawkins formulated a scale of belief, from 1 (literal certainty that God exists) to 7 (literal certainty that he doesn't), and placed himself as close as you can get to the extreme end of unbelief. He can't prove that God doesn't exist, but if the word "atheist" means anything, someone who is as confident that God doesn't exist as they are that tables do must be one. That person is, of course, still technically agnostic in the "can't be completely certain" sense. But we all are, by definition, about everything. So if you can't be that sort of agnostic and also an atheist, then it is literally impossible to be an atheist at all. By any sensible measure, Dawkins is an atheist; he is also an agnostic. As am I, for what it's worth.
So this is not a partial Damascene conversion by the unbeliever's unbeliever; it's a restatement of his long-established and philosophically sound views. As always, it's worth hearing what the good professor has to say, because he's an interesting and intelligent man, but I'm afraid this is not the great U-turn some seem to think it is.

Reset Password
The easiest method of resetting a user's account password in Linux is to use the passwd command. To do it on Linux Mint or any Linux distribution that uses sudo, start a shell terminal and type the following command:
- sudo passwd
You will, of course, be prompted to authenticate with your current password before you are given the opportunity of changing it. On a distribution that does not use sudo, call the passwd command without sudo.

Psychic Readingsfrom Genuine Psychics |
Psychic Reading Home > Psychic Phenomenon > Psychic Experience > Psychic Experience Shared Psychic Experiences SharedMy Psychic Experience Almost 3 years ago, in March of 2005, I had some unusual things happen to me. My parents were seperated, and my dad was really depressed. He was in therapy and taking medicines prescribed to him. My dad and I were very close. After a few months him and my mother finally started talking again. They were also in couples therapy. Part of my dad's treatment included meds, but before they were prescribed he had to have a full physical and health evaluation. He was given a clean bill of health. One night after they had returned from therapy we enjoyed a good visit with them before my mom and sister left. I fell asleep on the couch for a while. I woke up a short time later, as did my dad. When I was about to go to bed, I had this really bad feeling about the coming day. The dogs were barking at something outside and my dad told me to let them in. Normally I would have told him to, after all he was up already, but I had this feeling that wouldn't go away. So I didn't argue with him. He left for work the next day before I woke up. Around noon my mom, who was visiting, received a call that he had been in an accident. I knew at that moment he was gone. My mom went to the hospital, and brought the hospital chaplain back to break the news to me and my sister. My dad had died of a heart attack. He had just turned 44. It freaked me out that I knew something was going to happen, especially since there were no signs otherwise. Three months later, my paternal grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. He was given 6-12 months to live. I knew he wouldn't last that long. Even though he was still eating normally and mobile, I told my mom that he wouldn't make it past July. Sure enough he died July 27. Last not but least. In December of that same year, while I was in boot camp over 600 miles away, I had a dream. In my dream a member of my former church was standing in some snowy woods. A week later I received a letter from my mom informing me that this same member had died. Most interesting part? He had a stroke while chopping wood for his wood stove. Intuition? Coincidence? I don't know. Kinda scary though. I was a young adult with no psychic training.

Persian Gulf de-mining exercise sends message to Iran
Posted: 26/09/2012 Filed under: Christian Le Miere, Defence, Gulf and Middle East Security, US | Tags: IMCMEX 12, Iran, Mines, naval exercises Leave a commentIf you were a theocratic regime hell-bent on disrupting shipping in the Persian Gulf, how would you go about it?
Anti-ship missiles are selective but dangerous; torpedoes would need to be launched surreptitiously with a relatively small fleet of submarines. Perhaps the most effective method, and certainly the one concerning the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and its allies the most, is the possibility of mining areas of the Gulf.
Little wonder, then, that a huge multinational mine-countermeasures exercise is being held in the area, which began on 16 September and will continue until 27 September. The reasons for the exercises appear to be twofold. First, there is a genuine need to test and build multinational capacity in the region for mine-clearance operations. The number of different countries that might be involved in any rapid de-mining operations makes coordination supremely difficult, and hence testing the ability of navies to work together in assigned roles is vital.

Taking MEK off 'terrorist' list is a gift to Iranian regime
Posted: 25/09/2012 Filed under: Gulf and Middle East Security, Mark Fitzpatrick, Non-Proliferation, Terrorism, US | Tags: Hillary Clinton, IAEA, Iran, MEK, National Iranian American Council, Tehran, terrorism Leave a commentBy Mark Fitzpatrick, Director, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme
On 21 September, the State Department indicated that the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK – People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran) will be de-listed from the US foreign terrorist organizations list.
The news caused outrage and anguish in many quarters, particularly among reform-minded Iranians at home and abroad. They rightly fear that the tacit US legitimizing of the group will be used by the regime to discredit the Green Movement and other opponents. As one US-based Iranian put it, the decision 'feeds directly into the regime's narrative: that the US is backing the MEK to launch attacks against Iran and undermine the territorial integrity of the country. MEK affiliation will likely become even more of an excuse for the persecution of students and activists'.
I have to agree with the National Iranian American Council that the decision is a gift to the Iranian regime.
The MEK is a quasi-cultish group that emerged in pre-revolution Iran with a curious blend of Islamist and Marxist ideological motives and an inclination towards violent tactics. Their bombing and assassinations were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Iranians and six Americans. It was the latter acts in the 1970s that earned their 1997 addition to the terrorist list.
The MEK is despised by most Iranians for having supported Saddam Hussein in the eight-year Iran-Iraq war. The day the news was announced, Bahman Kalbasi, an Iranian journalist at the BBC, published a tweet commenting that 'perhaps the only popularity contest the government of Iran can win is when its alternative is MEK'.
While many MEK members are exiled in Europe, several thousand have operated until recently from a self-sustaining camp outside Baghdad. Because they are dedicated to the removal of the current regime in Iran, the MEK have won friends in many Western capitals. In 2009, after years of lobbying, the Council of the European Union de-designated the MEK as a terrorist group. But the group's most prominent supporters are in Washington, where prominent politicians from across the political spectrum have waged a well-oiled campaign to promote de-listing.
Notwithstanding its deadly history, the MEK has done some good deeds. Its political wing, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, was the vehicle through which Israeli intelligence in 2002 exposed previously hidden Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz and Arak. Despite the MEK's low level of support in Iran it is also seen by some right-wingers as a means for inducing regime change in Tehran. But some of the MEK's high-profile advocates have also been motivated by more personal considerations. At least one former politician has been under investigation for the lavish fees he received for supporting the MEK cause.
Critics credit the lobbying effort with having swayed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to make the de-listing decision. Indeed the pre-election timing of the decision does suggest a political motivation. But there are other factors she had to take into account.
One factor is the set of legal requirements for the terrorist listing. To be designated, a foreign organization must be engaged in terrorist activity or have the intention to do so, and this activity 'must threaten the security of US nationals or the national security of the United States.' A case can be made that the MEK's activities work against US foreign policy interests in that they undermine the cause of reformists in Iran. But that's a hard sell, given the primordial instinct that the enemy of one's enemy is one's friend.
With regard to intent, the MEK renounced violence more than a decade ago. MEK operatives reportedly were responsible, with Israeli backing, for a string of assassinations of Iranian nuclear engineers and scientists. While these assassinations fit some descriptions of terrorism, they did not threaten US lives. On the contrary, they were intended to slow nuclear weapons development.
Clinton also had to take into account the American political scene, in which Iran's nuclear program plays a huge part as the spearhead of the Republican Party's attacks on President Obama's foreign policy stewardship. Keeping MEK on the terrorism list would have been seen as a sop to Ahmadinejad and the Supreme Leader, even if in reality the regime benefits from the de-listing. Given Iran's intransigence in the nuclear talks this summer, there was no mileage in either politics or policy for not de-listing. If talks this summer had encompassed serious negotiations, Clinton would not have made this decision.
Those who criticise the de-listing should thus spare some of their anger for the Iranian regime. Tehran's refusal to limit its enrichment program or to accept the transparency demanded by the International Atomic Energy Agency incurs many costs beyond non-economic expenditures. In addition to choking sanctions, political isolation and the prospect of war, the regime's policies have triggered legitimacy within the US for the group that is most vehemently set on regime overthrow. Unfortunately, it is the Iranian people who will again suffer.
As ice disappears, commercial opportunities come into view
Posted: 25/09/2012 Filed under: Arctic Climate Change and Security, Energy Security, Jens Wardenaer | Tags: Arctic, climate change, extreme weather, global warming, ice caps, oil drilling, oil exploration, shipping Leave a commentBy Jens Wardenaer, Research Analyst and Editorial Assistant
The annual summer minimum for Arctic sea ice has been declining faster than expected, with this year marking a record low.
On 16 September, Arctic sea ice reached its lowest extent since satellite records began in 1979, according to preliminary figures from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre. At 3.41 million square metres, this year's melt beat the previous 2007 record by 760,000 square kilometres. But while the decline of sea-ice extent is the most visible metric of climate change in the Arctic, another trend is even more worrying. For the third straight summer the total volume of ice set a new record low, and is now only 20% of the 2000 level.
It is too early to say whether this will be an annual phenomenon, but the speed of the melt has already exceeded prognoses. The record for minimum ice extent was already reached on 26 August, nearly one month earlier than the 2007 record. According to scientists, the rate of decline is faster than any models have been able to capture. Most experts previously thought it possible that the Arctic would be ice-free in the summer by 2050; now more and more scientists believe that may occur as soon as 2030, or even before 2020.

Iran's nuclear power: what do we know?
Posted: 24/09/2012 Filed under: Dina Esfandiary, Gulf and Middle East Security, Non-Proliferation | Tags: bomb, Iran, nuclear intelligence, nuclear programme 1 CommentDina Esfandiary, research associate and project coordinator for the IISS Non-Proliferation and Disarmament programme, has published an article titled 'Iran's Nuclear Power: What Do We Know?' in Politique Etranger, the journal of the French Institute of International Affairs (IFRI).
Amid competing opinions on Iran's true motivations and capabilities, the US's official assessment is that Iran has not yet decided to 'go nuclear,' Esfandiary writes. Yet there are many potential gaps in our knowledge of the issue. How can we be sure if governments have all the necessary intelligence to be certain about Iran's intentions? In her report, Esfandiary 'seeks to explore and explain' how much we really know about Iran's nuclear powers. She outlines the opposing views on Iran, how intelligence has been gathered and used in the past, and analyses how intelligence could detect whether Iran is attempting to weaponise its capabilities.
Tehran's nuclear balancing act
Posted: 18/09/2012 Filed under: Gulf and Middle East Security, Mark Fitzpatrick, Non-Proliferation | Tags: IAEA, Iran, Israel, nuclear, nuclear sites 2 CommentsIn an issue of the Security Times that coincided with the Cyber Security Summit in Bonn, Mark Fitzpatrick, Director, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme, examined Iran's nuclear balancing act.
There is no diplomatic solution for Iran's nuclear ambitions yet, and while Iran has been somewhat hampered by sanctions and attacks designed to derail its nuclear program, it continues to enrich uranium. As the IAEA reported, Iran's enriched uranium stockpile grew to nearly 7,000kg. Iran is still months away from being able to make a weapons, but 'the problem is that the redline separating nuclear-capable from nuclear-armed will become less clear as Iran's enrichment program makes further advances,' writes Fitzpatrick.
Diplomatic talks by the EU3+3 have failed. Differing perceptions of the threat by Israel and the US may have delayed more decisive plans, but in this atmosphere of uncertainty, an Israeli strike cannot be ruled out. For now, a military attack still seems like the worst option, as well as counterproductive – because it may only derail Iran's progress by two to three years, and ultimately accelerate Iran's ambitions for a weapon. But Iran should not push its luck. The US seems to be unwilling to join Israel in an attack now, but could very well change its position in the near future. If Western intelligence agencies begin to perceive more of a threat, they could strike – which could lead to war.
China and Japan: Nationalism rising?
Posted: 17/09/2012 Filed under: Asia Pacific, Christian Le Miere, Defence, Survival: Global Politics and Strategy | Tags: China, East China Sea, Japan, Senkaku islands 2 CommentsBy Christian Le Miere, Research Fellow for Naval Forces and Maritime Security
We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning. –Billy Joel
In January 1930, Mao Zedong wrote a letter in which he repeated an old Chinese saying: "A single spark can start a prairie fire." Mao was referring to the possibility that the communist movement, although small at the time, had the potential to wage a successful revolution. The phrase is just as apt in the current situation, as protests sweep Chinese cities, with Japanese products and businesses being attacked in five different cities.
What is the source of the latest discontent? A long-running disagreement over the sovereignty of five small islands and three rock formations in the East China Sea that has recently risen once again to the top of the agenda. The decision by the central Japanese government to purchase three of the five islands from their private owner last week, although intended to limit potential damage that might have been caused if Tokyo's nationalistic governor Shintaro Ishihara succeeded in his bid to do the same, inspired an intense reaction from China's population.

Video: Mac Miller – 'He Who Ate All the Caviar'Mac Miller does whatever he wants in the tongue-in-cheek video for his new song "He Who Ate All the Caviar," produced by his alter ego Larry Fisherman. The Pittsburgh rapper carries around a stuffed teddy bear, reading him stories and brushing his teeth, as he aimlessly walks around a hotel room. "I get money, I f**k hos, I wear really nice clothes," raps Mac, whose sophomore album Watching Movies With the Sound Off is due next year. Watch the weird and wacky clip below.

Our Streets • Our Bridge • Our Bayfront • Our Downtown • Our Growth • Join us!
Large successful parks, as listed by ThinkTank, are run by representatives of philanthropic foundations and not by business people who are in real estate and who are a front for and employees of American Bank.
The University was offered Memorial Coliseum which would have made a terrfic downtown campus.
Droughts and tropical storms ... One can only wonder what the city leaders are thinking when they vote to give water away to Las Brisas and when they promote development on the sandbar known as Padre Island.
William Grant Still died in 1978. His daughter, Julia Still, is the person scheduled to speak on Friday evening at Del mar.
I agree, ridley!
More phony committees to try to smooth over the fact that the city borrowed multi-thousands to destroy an existing memorial. Pandering to pacify.
Laura D The council's 'road plan' is the $13 million realignment of Shoreline Drive.
They are also planning a reapportionment of the $13 million bond money in order to give some of it to Trey McCampbell and his associates for their 'after the Coliseum' plan.
James Coatney - The Council is not only pushing demolition as fast as it can, but they are making plans to hand the property over to their pals and turn it into a private park.
More than a few people need to take interest and vote to avoid having a council puffed up with self-interest and grabbing with both hands as fast as they can.
Destination Bayfront (i.e. a front for American Bank) is being handed our prime bayfront property. Who voted to give our public land to private interests??
Responsible developer or not - To be building on a barrier sandbar island is not a good idea - not hotels, condos or houses.
A perfectly solid building is being demolished. Disgraceful waste of taxpayers' money and asset.
Seems it would best not to build on shifting sands that will wash away in the next hurricane.
This city council is planning on handing prime land to their pals at American Bank and the Omni. They have no other reason to destroy Memorial Coliseum - a building in good condition as has been eveidenced in the dismantling - except that American Bank wanted it gone.
They'll flounder around for awhile to try to hide the trail and then sign it over to a private company. They have already signed 150 yards of McGee Beach over to the Omni for 3 years.Don't let them steal your bayfront ever.
The key word is 'might.'
Another editorial dictated by city hall.
Just drive up the coast, just past Bay City, and you'll smell and see the biggest and dirtiest refinery on the coast - Conoco-Phillips.TCEQ obviously never did their job at that locale either.
At the Las brisas hearing last year, a group of men in suits were sitting at the back of the room. They each were carrying briefcases and computers with oil company decals on the bags. I asked if they were oil company lawyers and they said, no ... they were TCEQ representatives. Coziness like this is what has created the disaster in the gulf and has allowed choking pollution in texas.
The city could have sent representatives to the meeting in Beaumont, but chose not to. Besides, the state panel considers the documentaion included in the nomination and not the political storm surrounding it.On April 28, city officials traveled to Austin (on the taxpayers' dime, no doubt) to meet with the director of the Texas Historical Commission to learn about historical designation.
A few days later, the city ordered A&R to demolish the outer walls of the Coliseum - even before the asbestos removal was complete. The city then sent pictures of this damage to the Beaumont meeting, obviously in hope of canceling the nomination process.
Now, the city is fighting - through their pals at the Caller - to try to repair the public relations disaster they have engendered by their spiteful acts and by their refusal to put the question of the Coliseum to a public vote.
These weeks of infamy will stick to this council forever. Shame on all of you.
There was no five-year effort to find adaptive reuse of Memorial Coliseum.- one try in 2005 with TRT's ferris wheel idea that sat on the negotiating table for 15 months with nothing happening because TRT wanted a referendum on their plan- one try with Leisure Horizons in 2007 for 6 months, during the worldwide financial collapse- two fast-track attempts during a total of 4 months, while the city was plotting demolition.
That makes a total of 25 months, most of which time was not spent in any real attempt at making a deal.Furthermore, the public, who owns the building, was never given the chance or the right to find a development idea. The public should have been allowed to vote on whether or not to destroy a perfectly good building.
Laurie Wood:Even worse than the ruling of the 13th Court of Appeals was the fact that the city started demolition work days before receiving the court mandate that would have officially given them the right to begin. In other words, in the rush to destroy, the city broke the law for several days and so far, has gotten off scott free.
Well stated, Debs. Thank you for upgrading the level of the discussion with verifiable facts.
Stupidity is incurable.
The Texas Historical Commission State Board of Review meets in a different city for each meeting. Scheduling the meeting in Beaumont this time was because Beaumont has a very large and beautiful historic district as well as many restored and readapted buildings. It's fascinating to see what has been accomplished there.
Dump the bricks in the landfill.
The building no longer has its integrity, so all of you have gotten what you wanted. The designation is no longer possible -Time for all you to find something else rant about.
I wonder why everyone is still yapping. The Coliseum is no longer eligible for historic designation. Once the walls were knocked down, as the city very well knew, the game was over.Find a new topic. This one is done.
Mr. Chapa requested the public hearing after he was told that there would be an investigation of complaints and disciplinary action.That first step taken by the commissioners was wrong. They should have discussed with him in private and asked for his resignation. Instead, they announced to the public that there had been complaints and would be an investigation.This is no way to treat a public servant with more than 20 years' service.I don't know Mr. Chapa, but I did attend the meeting today to see for myself what was going on.
The commissioners have no tact, no consideration. If indeed Mr. Chapa needed to retire, they could have handled the situation in a manner that would have praised him for his 20 years' work and then ushered him out the door.But no. Not here in Nueces County. Instead, they had to publicly embarass him and fire the man after 20 years.
Wrong information AGAIN!Colley was an apprentice at Brock and Roberts when that firm designed the additional four floors added to the top of the building.
Mr. Hoover thinks downtown is fun, but he lives in San Antonio.
Adding insult to injury - renovating the Selena instead of repairing the Coliseum -
"Norma jean sierra"the Coliseum is not a weak structure. It needed upgrades, but was still in safe and good condition ... at least until this week.
Joe Hilliard has posted numerous times on these boards. He has vested interest in belittling preservationists because he is part of Destination Bayfront - led by American Bank employee Trey McCampbell. This same Trey McCampbell voted (Del Mar Regents) to give tax incentives to Las Brisas.These guys are not neutral on anything.
This city council has no consideration for the public on any important issue. Mr. Mayor seems to believe that forming a Pride committee will somehow make up for destroying our environment and our history.This council is short-sighted and self-serving.
It's not just the cost of the ABC (refreshments, parking, etc.) - it's the inconvenience of getting there. For Memorial Coliseum, patrons can park on the bluff, in Cole Park - there are three sides available for access.The ABC is shoved down in a corner.Last year, I attended the David Sanborn concert at ABC --- it happened to be held the last night of the Jazz Festival ... and also the same night as a sporting event (I think it was hockey, but I don't know for sure.) Anyway .... it took us an HOUR to get from Hwy 35 to the parking place!! We thought we'd left plenty of time to get in and have a leisurely drink. But, no ... hassled and frustrated, we finally got into the show.I'll seriously have to think about spending $30 for a ticket to a show that is held in a building that has no decent access.
The city is in contempt of court and everyone in the state knows it. Our city in contempt of court! If this council had done the right thing and put the question of Memorial Coliseum to a vote, none of this mess would have ensued.
This is so insulting. The place was renovated in October 2004. The taxpayers of CC have been begging for maintenance of Memorial Coliseum.Now, while the city is ignoring and defying a court-ordered injunction to halt demolition of Memorial Coliseum, they announce the plan of spending $3 million on the Selena Auditorium.
Trey McCampbell, who promotes a tourist destination on the bayfront is the same Trey McCampbell who brazenly voted to give tax incentives for Las Brisas. Polluted harbor, dirty air and bayfront does not mesh with tourism. Who's pulling his strings??
(This comment was removed by the site staff.)
Reminder: Mark Scott's wife works as a publicist for Las Brisas' parent company, Chase Power.
And that's only the most obvious special-interest relationship in this city of back room dealing and influence-peddling.
The current city council is so head-in-the-sand on so many issues that I'm sure they are clueless on the effects of their vote for water to Las Brisas.LET'S GET RID OF this COUNCIL! Let's see new faces and NEW ideas!
Memorial Coliseum was built as a memorial. The planning started in 1947 for an auditorium that would be dedicated to WWII dead. It was dedicated on Sept. 26, 1954 in a ceremony that involved local clergy, the US Navy, the Gold Star mothers and community leaders.
In European countries, EVERYONE is required to carry his/her ID when leaving the house. Fines are handed out for not having ID.
Thank you, mr. ridley, for pointing out the facts.
Never leave anything enticing in your car - no packages, no purse, no shopping bags. If you do, you're just begging for a break-in.
We live in a semi-arid part of the country. This article should remind everyone that it's imperative that Corpus Christi enact some strict water conservation regulations and make changes in ways the city uses our precious water.
Good grief. This should be the story that generates outrage, but instead, the local online keyboarders are flaming out on the Coliseum and other peripheral stories.This one should be important to everyone in this city.
Old is the new Green.Adaptive re-use is economically and environmentally sound.
It's difficult to perpetuate an oligarchy if there is a larger and more diverse voter turnout.Of course, the council doesn't want it.
YES to Mr. Hunter's cruise line idea.A big NO to Las Brisas.Las Brisas spewing smoke will deter tourists whether on a cruise ship or on land. NO to Las Brisas and the pollution. The oil spill in the gulf should alert everyone to the fact that oil is not a sustainable future.Tourism is always renewable and consistant. Cruise, yes!
