Ole Miss football coach Houston Nutt learned a valuable lesson Saturday afternoon in his team's 49-48 overtime loss to Jacksonville State: You can't be Mr. Nice Guy all the time.
There seems to be a sizable portion of Ole Miss fans who believe that Nutt was being a nice host by not running up the score on his former boss, JSU coach Jack Crowe. Whether Nutt intentionally called the dogs off or not, the perception of the fan base is the Rebels coasted in the second half so the Gamecocks wouldn't be destroyed on the scoreboard.
I agree with that way of thinking to a point and even though I think Nutt didn't do this on purpose, the end result was a disappointing and embarrassing loss that shouldn't have happened. There is no good excuse for why the Rebels lost their season opener. They were the better team. They had more talent, the crowd support, a 21-point halftime lead, everything firmly in their favor to post a win.
There was no reason for me to believe that the Rebels would lose to the Gamecocks, especially after I watched the first half. Nathan Stanley looked really good in his first start at quarterback, Jeremiah Masoli was also solid, if not spectacular, while the running game and defense were making plays as well. Things seemed to be clicking for the Rebels heading into halftime and I expected to see more of the same to start the third.
Unfortunately for everyone that remained in attendance at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the Rebels and their coaching staff didn't execute like they did in the first half. The turnover count doubled, the passes were less crisp, the running game gained fewer and fewer yards and the defense, well the defense was nowhere to be found after the third quarter.
And by the time the Rebels started to look like they cared about the game again, it was too late. Jacksonville State gained the momentum in the fourth and they weren't about to give it up. Like the old saying goes, a snowball rolling down a mountain is hard to stop once it gets going. Not playing for a full game at full throttle hurt the Rebels and by the overtime periods, the damage had been done.
Ole Miss opened as a 21 point favorite to beat Tulane on Saturday in New Orleans. I think this team better almost double that spread after the performance in the opener. The Rebels need to beat the Green Wave like they stole something. That's just the way it has to be and the players interviewed Monday agreed that they couldn't be Mr. Nice Guy any longer.
You have to play football with a passion, on the edge and with a swagger. It's a sport you have to want to crush your opponent on every play, no matter if it's playing against your brother or your worst enemy. Coaches can't worry about being nice and not running up the score. If the other team and coach can't stop the plays, that's their problem.
Jimmy had it right
I'm not advocating a bunch of late hits, unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and things of that nature, but coaches need to put teams away when they have the opportunity. If Ole Miss is up 21 or 28 points with five minutes left to play, put in the reserves, but don't wreck the continuity of the game to do it.
I never understood why coaches who make $2 million a year worry about being criticized a little by some national pundit who really doesn't understand the game of football anyway. That national sportswriter or opposing coach or opposing fan base doesn't pay your salary, so who cares if they think you ran up the score? Tell them what Jimmy Johnson told CBS after his Miami Hurricanes beat Notre Dame 58-7 in 1985, "If they had done their job as well as I did mine they wouldn't have to worry about the score."
Those are great words for head coaches of all levels to live by moving forward. The game is played for 60 minutes and the opposing team needs to be pounded and beaten until the scoreboard hits 0:00. If that means a one-point win or a 100-point win, it is what it is. Take it or leave it, that's the way football has to be played. There is no other substitute and Nutt understands that point better than he did a week ago. (September 7, 2010, Page 7)

NEWPORT, R.I. – The U.S. Army general who made world headlines when he exposed prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq will return to his alma mater to host a reception and present a lecture on "Leadership and Accountability." This first event in the Graduate Speaker Series is open to Salve Regina graduate students by invitation only.
Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba (retired), who earned a master's degree in international relations from Salve Regina in 1988, served 34 years on active duty in the U.S. Army. Following a private reception with graduate students, he will present his lecture on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in O'Hare Academic Center. He will speak for about 45 minutes, after which a 15-minute question and answer session will be conducted.
Note to editors: While Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba's lecture on "Leadership and Accountability" is not open to the general public, interested members of the media are invited to cover it.
"Ethics in leadership is a topic relevant to all academic programs at Salve Regina and we're especially proud at the graduate level to be welcoming Maj. Gen. Taguba to campus," said Traci Warrington, dean of professional studies. "He is a great role model for accountability and decision-making, and we look forward to hearing him share his experiences and wisdom."
During Operation Iraqi Freedom, Taguba served as Deputy Commanding General for Support, Coalition Forces Land Component Command/ARCENT/Third Army, forward deployed to Kuwait and Iraq. He was responsible for overseeing the logistical and support services to U.S. and Coalition Forces totaling more than 150,000 troops conducting combat operations.
Currently, he is president of TDLS Consulting, which provides business consulting services to small companies and non-profit organizations committed to mentoring and professional development of military and civilian leaders. He is also chairman of the non-profit Pan-Pacific American Leaders and Mentors program, an all-volunteer organization comprised of military and civilian professionals committed to mentoring and promoting professional development, retention and the advancement of Asian American Pacific Islander leaders.
In addition to his M.A. in international relations from Salve Regina, Taguba earned a B.A. in history from Idaho State University, an M.A. in public administration from Webster University, an M.A. in National Security & Strategic Studies from the U.S. College of Naval Command and Staff. He is also a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army War College and he received an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters from the University of San Francisco.
Salve Regina University offers nine master's degree programs with options for concentrations and a doctoral program in humanities. In addition, many graduate programs provide options for four-course specialty graduate certificates. Classes are offered at the Newport campus, the Pawtucket, R.I. site and both online and hybrid formats in condensed eight-week and full semester sessions.
The master's programs are comprised of administration of justice, business administration (M.B.A.), healthcare administration and management, holistic counseling, holistic leadership, humanities, international relations, management and rehabilitation counseling. The university also offers a Ph.D. in humanities.

It is the truth that dare not speaks its name – even for a team as buoyant as Germany, there is reason to be fearful when Zlatan Ibrahimović is around.
Sweden were heading for a humbling loss to the Faroe Islands in Friday's FIFA World Cup qualifier, but Ibrahimović chimed in with an assist and a goal to earn Erik Hamrén's team a 2-1 win. Joachim Löw's charges enjoyed a far more straightforward 6-1 victory away to the Republic of Ireland the same evening, and are now three points clear at the Group C summit. There is nevertheless reason to be wary ahead of Tuesday's meeting in Berlin.
"He is an outstanding striker, a complete attacker and a leader of his team," Germany captain Philipp Lahm said of his Sweden counterpart. Löw is also cautious over the threat posed by his side's next opponents.
"Sweden play different football to the Irish," he said. "Sweden are capable of playing good football and do not only use the long ball. However, if we once again show organisation and discipline in defence, and play the passing game we are used to, we will create opportunities."
Though the forward threat posed by Ibrahimović is all too vivid for Germany, Marco Reus came unstuck when asked to name one of the defenders he might come up against on Tuesday. "Olof Mellberg?" A valiant try, but the venerable centre-back retired after UEFA EURO 2012.
Germany had their own period of reflection after this summe's final tournament in Poland and Ukraine, but Friday's emphatic triumph in Dublin is a another sign that their disappointing semi-final exit has been forgotten. "The European Championship ended extremely negatively for us," said defender Per Mertesacker.
"There were more than just a few who suddenly started doubting, because we were not able to make the final step. After the European Championship we needed a bit of time to find ourselves again. Now against Ireland, it all clicked into place. Such successes are good justification that our way is the right one."
The progress of Reus has been a major factor, with the Borussia Dortmund midfielder now a pivotal cog for Germany having been on the fringes over the summer. Two goals against Ireland signalled further substance to his increasing importance. "His shooting technique is outstanding," said Miroslav Klose, a man with 65 international goals to his name. "If I could shoot like him, I might have a couple more!"
Currently deployed on the left, Reus could develop into a 'false nine', a role Löw continues to consider but is yet to trial. "If I play well and work hard, everything else will happen on its own," said Reus. His development makes it an exciting time for Germany fans, with Tuesday's game likely to give plenty more pointers over the direction in which they are heading. Löw will hope it is a road which stops off in Brazil in 2014.

1 peeled Kirby or pickling cucumber
3 ounces smoked salmon
9 ounces soba noodles
4 sheets nori seaweed
Slice 1 medium mango, half an avocado and 1 peeled Kirby or pickling cucumber into 1/2-by-3 1/2-inch sticks. Slice 3 ounces smoked salmon into 1-inch-wide strips.

Zesty black-eyed pea salsa
Makes: 2 cups
2 cups frozen black-eyed peas
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 to 2 pickled or fresh jalapenos
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or canned mild green chilies
The Southern tradition of eating black-eyed peas — or any field peas for that matter — for good luck often shows up in the pea-and-rice hoppin' John. Serve with tortilla chips, or with saltines as they do in Texas, where it's sometimes called Texas caviar.
Place 2 cups frozen black-eyed peas in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches and a pinch of salt; heat to a boil. Skim off foam, reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain; transfer to a mixing bowl. (You may also use canned black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed.)
Stir in 1/4 cup each red wine vinegar and vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon each ground black pepper and ground cumin; let beans cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Stir in 1/2 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained; 1/2 cup corn kernels; 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper; 1/4 cup finely chopped onion; 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley; 1 to 2 pickled or fresh jalapenos, finely chopped; and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh or canned mild green chilies. Cover; refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, stir well and check seasoning.

33% of Parents Would Buy Their Kids an iPad
March 12, 2012
© iYogi Insights
One third of parents would get their kids an iPad, two thirds wouldn't. Which side of the discussion do you land on? A recent research report by iYogi Insights found that of more than 2,000 parents surveyed, 33% are willing to purchase or have already purchased iPad for their children.
With the vast majority (92%) of those in favor of the iPad approving it as a resource for kids to use for homework, it's clear that to these parents that the iPad is more than just about gaming. It's also for downloading e-books, doing research and using educational apps to supplement the learning they're doing in school.
But that's only a sliver of what the iPad offers, of course. Gaming and entertainment are huge components of iPad users, regardless of age. Kids who use iPads spend an average of $14 per month downloading games, apps and movies. And from a time consumption standpoint, parents allow their kids up to two hours daily of iPad usage, with 22% of parents giving their kids unlimited time daily.
And iPad usage doesn't just benefit kids considering 56% of parents admitted to letting their kids use the device just to "get them out of their hair."
The other side of the coin is the 67% of parents who wouldn't purchase the device for their kids, stating things like "prefer kids play outside" (51%), "too expensive" (39%) and "fear it will make them less social" (34%) as the primary reasons why. Interestingly, the same population of those against the iPad in homes is willing to buy laptops, computers, Kindles, MP3 players or iPhones/smartphones for their kids.
With the recent announcement of the "New iPad" hitting shelves soon, yet another tablet choice in the ever expanding marketplace, this technological marvel is only going to be more prevalent in our lives and that of our children's as well.

When Did You Finally Get Rid of Your Baby Stuff?
August 13, 2012
© Sarah Preston Gorenstein
As Preston approaches his 3rd birthday in two weeks(!), I've made it my summer project to clean out the third bedroom—a.k.a. our "office," a.k.a. an homage to Preston's baby-hood. It's filled with bins and bins (and bins) of clothes, toys, strollers, car seats, car seat bases, car seat adaptors, bath seats, a Bumbo, boxes of diapers, tummy time mats, colorful tents, tunnels, blocks, crap—more stuff than one baby could/should ever need in his lifetime. Living in a condo with no storage area, we've had to turn the third bedroom into what would otherwise be our basement. Opening up that door is like opening a window into the first two years of Preston's life. Or unlocking my anxiety due to the clutter.
After a miserable experience at Ikea last Saturday, trying to find new furniture for his toddler room, I spent Sunday cleaning out the third bedroom with my mom. I'm someone who procrastinates on projects like this, because when I finally embark on them I'm super compulsive about it. So what might take someone half a day, takes me an entire summer. I had to go through every last onesie to see what I should keep, what I should store, what should be tossed, or what should be donated or given away to friends. (I tossed three Carter's onesies because they had poop stains on them, everything else is either being stored or given away.)
Not only have I kept his clothes in perfect shape—I mean, pristine—I have his bins marked appropriately by size: 0-3 months; 3-6 months; 6-12 months; 9-12 months; and two marked 18-24 months; and one just for jeans and khakis (18-24 months/2T). He has an ungodly amount of clothes and shoes, mostly because his clothes are combined with a friend's hand-me-downs. Cutest stuff you've ever seen.
Why are we hoarding all this stuff, you might ask? Because I thought—hoped—I'd be using it for baby no. 2 by now. But holding onto it at this point feels pretty strange and unnecessary. While I'm not giving up on the idea of having another baby, this room has become a bit depressing, like I'm waiting for another baby—probably not the healthiest thing for me emotionally. Not to mention it's taking up an entire room in our three-bedroom condo that I'd like to get back. The only reason I'd ever go into it now is to use our printer, or to hoard more stuff.
Going through everything was a sad reminder that he's not a baby anymore. I know I digressed about this last week, but he turns three on August 29 so bear with me. I felt it was time to let go, both literally and figuratively, as much as it kills me to give all his stuff away and/or put it in storage. Stuff we may never see, or need, again.
Our third bedroom will become his toddler room, and then we'll move his crib and glider out of his nursery, which we'll also store (or maybe sell). While we have a lot of younger cousins who'll be having kids in the next few years, and I want to keep all this stuff for them, there's the superstitious part of me that thinks maybe hanging onto it is jinxing us. Maybe we should donate everything to people less fortunate, and get it out of our lives altogether.
When did you finally decide to move all the baby stuff out? What did you do with all of it? I get really nostalgic about silly things and have a hard time letting go when there are happy memories attached (um, like these shoes above, which I'm never getting rid of). Leave a comment.

For more than 50 years, the Vol Network has served as the main communications link between the University of Tennessee and its fans. As the broadcast rights holder to University of Tennessee athletics, IMG College/Vol Network manages UT radio and television programming, game day publications, on-line services, venue signage and various other marketing and promotional activities related to Big Orange athletics.
Vol Network Personnel
Bob Kesling
Bob Kesling, Director of Broadcasting/Play-by-Play
Bob Kesling was named the University of Tennessee Director of Broadcasting and lead play-by-play voice of the Vol Network in July of 1999. Kesling is the radio play-by-play announcer for Tennessee football and basketball on 70 plus station Vol Network. He is the host of the Butch Jones and Cuonzo Martin TV shows on the Vol Network and does play-by-play for Tennessee baseball and Lady Vol basketball on the Vol Television Network carried by Fox Sportsouth. Kesling serves as the host for the Vol Network's weekly hour long state-wide radio call-in show Vol Calls and the Big Orange Hotline during the football season.
Kesling began his association with the University of Tennessee as a walk-on fullback on the 1972 freshman football team. He began his broadcasting career while a student at Tennessee in 1974 as a film editor on the Bill Battle TV Show working for John Ward. In 1976 he joined the Vol Network as a pre and post game host and served as John Ward's spotter. Kesling spent 15 years sitting next to the legendary "Voice of the Vols" as his spotter and working on Vol Network broadcasts.
Upon graduation from the University of Tennessee, he was named the sports director at WIVK radio in Knoxville in 1977. In 1980 Kesling was named as the sports director at WBIR-TV in Knoxville. He was the 6 pm and 11pm anchor and remained at Channel 10 until assuming his Vol Network duties in 1999.
During this time at WBIR-TV, Kesling continued his work on the Vol Network radio broadcasts and was the play-by-play voice for Tennessee football on Vol Network Video Seat pay per view telecasts, Tennessee basketball telecasts on Fox Sports and Lady Vol basketball network radio broadcasts.
While the sports director at WBIR-TV, Kesling joined the SEC basketball broadcast team for Jefferson Pilot Sports telecasts in 1989 as play-by-play and pre game show host. In addition, Kesling served as the host for the SEC Basketball Tournament telecast on Jefferson-Pilot Sports.
Kesling left the Vol Network football broadcasts in 1992 to become a member of the Jefferson-Pilot Sports broadcast team for SEC football as a play-by-play announcer and sideline reporter. During that time Kesling was also the play-by-play voice for the SEC football and basketball championship game on the SEC Radio Network.
Kesling began his play-by-play career as the radio voice of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team in 1978. He called Lady Vol games through the 1999 season. Kesling called Coach Pat Summitt's first 6 national championship games.
His play-by-play credits also include the NCAA basketball tournament for the CBS/Westwood One Radio Network, the NCAA Women's Final Four for the CBS/Westwood One Radio Network, the Nashville Sounds baseball team, Knoxville Blue Jays baseball, AAA All Star Baseball Game for Fox Sports, Knoxville Cherokee hockey and the SEC baseball tournament for Fox Sports.

A three-year letterman from 1968-70, Priest was a starter on the Vols 1969 SEC championship team. An outstanding student, he was a GTE Academic All-American, Academic All-SEC in 1969 and 1970 and a recipient of a NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship Award. On the broadcasting side, Priest was a longtime co-host of the syndicated Football Finals radio show and a color commentator for Tennessee pay-per-view games.

He led the team in assists in 1980 and ranks ninth on UT's all-time assists list. He was a member of the 1976-1977 SEC championship team and the 1979 SEC Tournament championship squad.
The Vols amassed a record of 72-45 and participated in three NCAA tournaments during his playing days. Prior to being named color analyst for the Vol Radio Network, Bertelkamp had served as the color analyst for Tennessee basketball games broadcast by the Vol Television Network and FOX Sports Net South. Bertelkamp along with his father, 1953 Vol captain Hank Bertelkamp, operate Bertelkamp Automation in Knoxville.

John Ward
John Ward - "Voice of the Vols" Emeritus
Few men have meant as much to the University of Tennessee as John Ward. For more than three decades Ward served as the main communications link between the University of Tennessee and its fans as the undisputed "Voice of the Vols." Ward's mellifluous tones, flawless diction and precise descriptions painted a lifelike word picture of Vol football and basketball games that made him a living legend in the state of Tennessee. His unique phrases, style and delivery earned him countless honors and awards, national recognition and a devout following by millions of Big Orange fans.
Ward announced June 3, 1998, that the 1998-1999 season would be his last. The drama of Ward's final campaign behind the microphone was only heightened when the Vols captured the 1998 football national championship and the SEC Eastern Division basketball title. A scriptwriter could not have written a better swan song to his illustrious 35-year career.
Ward's first taste at broadcasting came when he began providing play-by-play commentary for his fraternity's intramural games on a tape recorder. As a University of Tennessee student, Ward picked up extra cash by moonlighting as a radio play-by-play announcer while covering high school basketball and football games for The Knoxville Journal. He received his law degree from the University of Tennessee in 1954 and went into radio and advertising. Ward's first broadcast of a UT basketball game came in 1958. Soon after that came service in the Army. After he returned to Knoxville, Ward went to work at an advertising agency. In 1964 he began handling the duties as announcer-host-coordinator for UT coaches television shows in football and basketball. His broadcasting career blossomed when he became the Vols radio play-by-play voice, first, for basketball in 1965 and three years later for football (1968). In addition to his duties with the Vol Network, he covered events for ABC-TV and ESPN.
Ward, whose understated humor enlivened his broadcasts and helped keep the games in perspective, was named Tennessee sportscaster of the year 28 times. He was named Best College Announcer in the country in 1976. Ward was a multi-term president of the Southeastern Conference Broadcasters Association and was awarded the Amateur Football Award by the East Tennessee Chapter of the National Football Foundation. Ward is a member of both the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and the Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame.
In 1994 Ward and his wife Barbara made the then-largest financial gift ever to the UT athletic department. The gift, at the time, was estimated at over $2 million. In 1995, level four of the press box at Neyland Stadium was named the John Ward Broadcast Center. In 1998 the senior class named a pedestrian greenway on the UT campus in honor of Ward and retiring UT president Joseph E. Johnson.
Ward always described his radio and television duties with the Vol Network as a hobby. Professionally, he has been in the advertising business since graduating from UT with a law degree. His hobbies include maintaining a stunning and extensive Garden-of-Eden-like three-acre garden containing thousands of azalea, rhododendron, iris and rare wildflowers. Ward, who lives in Knoxville, also enjoys golf and travel.

"Great centrally located hotel in Utrecht."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 18, 2013
I have stayed at the Apollo Hotel several times over the last 4 years and it is consistently clean, and the staff is genuinely helpful. They charge a premium for Executive rooms, (meaning they are larger then average), but really the standard room is large enough. Breakfast is one of the best I've had in the Netherlands, withe several hot and cold choices each day. Due mostly to its location the street side rooms can be a bit noisy, but the ones facing the inner courtyard are very quiet and quite nice.
"Nice hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 14, 2013
Had a good stay at the Malie. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The only negative was that the maid service was inconsistent. One day the room was cleaned nicely, the next not so much. But I would stay at the Malie again.
"A nice hotel with great anemities"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 22, 2012
Overall I liked this hotel a lot. I appreciated the sauna, as it started to turn very cold during my stay. It was a short 5-10 minute walk to the heart of the town and very close to the train station. The only things I did not like about this hotel was that the beds were pretty uncomfortable, and that you could hear the trains since it is right next to the train tracks.

This is my first attempt at a Flash series. I call it GunDan. I've had the idea for this for about 6 months. I've been working on this episode for about 4-5 months. It would have been done much faster, but homework was very evil this year! I plan on releasing GunDan Ep. 1 Extras soon with some other extras that didn't fit in this file. Keep an eye out for that! I have no idea how many episodes I'm going to make, or if I'm even going to continue the series. That's kinda up to you guys! Enjoy this episode! By the way, there are 3 easter eggs! The runtime is about 6 minutes (without credits), and all the extras add another 2 minutes if you decide to watch those.
Hey! I made it on the top 10 list. Thanks everyone!
I just noticed an incorrect credit, so I updated the whole Flash. Along with the fixed credit, I've standardized the laser color, and amplified Emily's kidnap line. Enjoy it!
Another glitch fixing update. The voice I added last time was cut off, so I fixed that. I removed 3 other tiny glitches I found in the video as well.
Hopefully the final update. I added links to GunDan Ep. 1 Extras, fixed up some credits, possibly fixed the Flash Ads, and moved the quality buttons a bit.
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 8, 2009
You love cheese dicks?
Not a bad flash, dude. Not bad at all. Animation could use some work but overall it was good. Keep it up!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars July 8, 2009
It's Pretty good for a first flash series. Although, I'm not that impressed. I think you best one was "Funny School Things". I understand that you were trying to make this more dramatic but, I think you did a better job with "Funny School Things".
If I were the creator of this animation, I would put this video into an editor and correct the colors for dramatic look. well, thats all.
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 8, 2009
Good idea, great music, decent animation. I like it. It is pretty original. You definitely have room for improvement, but definitely have a solid base. Keep working on it.

Good start, it was amazing! Keep going
Aiight Alex. So i'ma say this as your friend. IT WAS GREAT. Sure a few touches here and there. Like the beginning, yse it was a bit long. The earth part too should be shortened. But I feel like it will be good. Im sure you have a plot all set up in your mind. I never knew you were so good at flash. I know this will get big, and i'll keep having my friends vote from CMS / WRWR. :D good job! keep it goin! you'll be great soon!

Our biggest current basketball rival against the only true rival of the Lady Vols.
It's "Which Kentucky coach do you hate more?" day!
SB Nation's college blogs talk about Bob Knight's insult of Kentucky basketball and South Carolina's NFL Draft crop this year.
As rumors fly about John Calipari and the NBA, Tennessee fans are not so sure his absence would be a good thing.
The Vols have pulled closer to Kentucky than ever before under Bruce Pearl, but wins in Rupp Arena are an endangered species. Can this team change that?
One of Kentucky's 2010 basketball recruits may be under investigation by the NCAA regarding his amateur status. Find out the details here.
The TMZ Blog is reporting that the NCAA is taking an "aggressive look" at four UK players, two current players and two recent NBA draftees. The reported investigation allegedly centers around the possibility that these four kids had relationships with professional agents before they came to Kentucky.
Kentucky Basketball: TMZ Blog Reports NCAA Investigation - A Sea Of BlueJohn Calipari calls having five players drafted in the NBA in a single night the greatest night in the history of Kentucky basketball. Most disagree.
If Clevelad flames out in Game 6, LeBron could shake up the NBA by leaving...but could LeBron stay, and shake up the SEC by bringing along John Calipari?
After finishing behind the Vols four years in a row, Kentucky is the class of the SEC. But the Vols can make sure they're not forgotten with a win on Saturday.

Tips on Caring for Aging Parents
"Family members can go in and see what mom's heart rate was today," Bevis says. "If mom or dad would fall, their chance of survival drops dramatically if they're not found within the first few hours. The New England Journal of Medicine released a study that was done two years ago that was pretty eye-opening in that regard. The personal emergency response systems can be a lifesaver."
Somers said seniors can wear bands that monitor the body's rhythms and movements throughout the day and will detect if a typical pattern has been disrupted and issue an alert if activity is unusual.
Keeping Grandma as Close as Your Own Backyard, Literally
Other modern innovations include the MEDCottage, also known as "the Granny pod." A tricked-out tree house for the elderly, the 284-square-foot structure features many of the bells and whistles of a nursing home — including rubber flooring — but sits in a caregiver's backyard and, with its own kitchen and bathroom, runs off the main residence's power and water supply.
The idea came to Salem, Va.-based Rev. Ken Dupin, as he was working on his Ph.D. Though he didn't complete his dissertation, Dupin ran with the idea and is currently chief executive officer of N2Care, maker of MEDCottage.
"Our whole focus is to promote family-managed care," Dupin says. "We're all about putting the family back into this stage of life and as we researched it, there didn't seem to be a lot of good options as the one we came up with."
After seven years in development, the first residential MEDCottage was placed in Fairfax, Va. last month.
"What's unique is we have a created a dashboard that gives the caregiver access to literally every part of the MEDCottage including the ability to track blood pressure, heart rate, weight, temperature, glucose and all those things, as well as the structure itself," Dupin explains.
The cyber-chic shanty also includes something called "Feet Sweep," a camera system that monitors 12 inches off the floor in case a loved one has fallen. A caregiver can also remotely check in to see whether or not the elder has taken his or her medication.
So how much does this high-tech hideaway cost? Dupin explains that the original model runs about $85,000 but distributors are coming out with new offerings that are "not nearly as fancy" and will be priced in the neighborhood of $50,000.
Another advantage, Dupin points out, is that unlike a nursing home or an assisted living facility, MEDCottage is an asset.
"The distributor will purchase it back after a year or two years at a negotiated price," he says. "Everything the MEDCottage does is to promote family-managed care. There are no subscription fees or monitoring services, everything goes back to the family."
Competition is popping up for this modern alternative to the mother-in-law suite, Dupin says, as two modular home manufacturers have come out with their own versions.
Nationwide Home has the Care Cottage and Clayton, a Berkshire Hathaway company, has come out with something called the iHouse.
"Definitely there is a horizon for this concept," Dupin says.
Be Prepared
Another hurdle baby boomers have to overcome is the suddenness of the need for care.
"Three days ago Dad was golfing and today he's in the hospital because last night he had a stroke and he's incapacitated," says Hogan of Home Instead. "They never had the conversation or took the time to discuss what Dad's preferences were for care so therefore this creates a huge amount of guesswork for that primary family caregiver."
To combat this, Hogan devised the "40-70 Rule" aimed at bridging the communication gap between generations and fostering discussions — when one is their 40s and the other is their 70s — about how, when and where aging parents wish to receive care. Hogan said these issues are often so uncomfortable and overwhelming that he felt compelled to author a booklet, designed to help struggling caregivers.
Even with technological advancements, providing for the health and safety of aging parents is no small task. Having that conversation earlier and before a crisis occurs can make growing old gracefully a bit more manageable for everyone involved.

Visitors, residents cope with D.C. area heat wave
Even tree shade is proving to be no respite from the oppressive heat blanketing the DC-metro area this weekend.
Nicole Johnson, a visitor from Wisconsin, says "I don't think I've been anywhere hotter than this. So that's pretty ridiculous."
With air temps at over 100 degrees, we used a digital thermometer, a "heat gun" to take some readings.
Pointed at sidewalks on the national mall, we got readings of 121 degrees; at a worksite in Arlington, 119 degrees.
"Make sure we got enough water," says contractor Larry Thompson.
"Watch each other, make sure everyone's acting right, that way you know if someone's overcome by the heat."
For 66-year-old Hattie Raspberry, confined to her bed, fans blowing on her 24 hours a day, the heat can be dangerous.
"The equipment in her room is very hot," says Crystal Simms, Raspberry's daughter.
Raspberry has congestive heart failure, and a collapsed lung. She doesn't complain because she can't speak.
Her 24-year-old AC unit, which needs a new compressor, can only get her apartment's temperature down to 83 degrees.
"It's very hot," says Raspberry's grandson - who's watching over her during a vacation break from college.
"At times she has to strip down just to sleep. And she can't even sleep."
Apartment maintenance men have tweaked the family's AC unit twice, but the Raspberrys are hoping for a permanent replacement.
Residents and visitors alike, hoping this heat wave will end soon.

(ThinkStock Photos)A Washington State deputy will never forget the night his life changed. During a late-night burger break, Edward Bslysma pulled into a Burger King drive through and ordered a Whopper. Minutes later he was about to bite into the juicy patty, but not before he removed the bun and witnessed something he won't soon forget. A big honking phlegm-ball sat like a slab of special sauce on his patty. Suspecting BK's staffers behind the prank, he sent his snack to a DNA specialist (you tax dollars at work, Washington).
Sure enough a burger flipper at Burger King, who happened to be on file as an ex-con, was linked to the loogie. Bslysma must have thought having the offender arrested would blot out the pain, but he was wrong. So he decided to sue the fast food chain for causing him "mental stress."
Though he never actually bit into the burger, the whole notion of a phlegm condiment caused him "ongoing emotional trauma...vomiting, nausea, food anxiety and sleeplessness." Surprisingly, his case hasn't yet been tossed, and is still bouncing around in the court system awaiting a decision.
An experience like this could permanently put you off of drive through dining, maybe even compromise your physical health if eaten, but could it really do psychological damage? It's a hard sell.
Similar lawsuits crop up and are tossed out regularly. Like the guy who sued NBC, claiming he suffered PTSD symptoms after eating dinner while watching "Fear Factor". Burger King did settle out of court with a customer who found a condom in his Southwestern Whopper. He too complained of PTSD like symptoms-"sustained pain and suffering, vomiting, nightmares, mental and emotional distress." But it was the fact that the customer bit into the offending topping that made it a viable case.
The kind of extreme anxiety that causes debilitating flashbacks is largely associated with war veterans, victims of childhood physical or sexual abuse, survivors of near-death attacks and genocide. Eating a spit burger isn't exactly in the same category.

With Congress about to begin the next cycle of budget battles – mostly focused on how much more pain to inflict on Main Street communities across America – a far different message is bubbling up across the land.
