Earn a Graduate Degree at Home
Over the last year, enrollment in online master's degree programs has jumped over 15%. Why? For one thing, earning a degree from home can be cheaper. Not only can you save on housing costs, but online programs also typically offer flexible schedules that allow students to work part-time or full-time, without disrupting their workdays.
The key is to check accreditation. Legitimate schools are accredited by the Department of Education, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, or by other regional agencies. Schools like Duke, Stanford, Columbia, and Johns Hopkins offer graduate programs before you quit your job and move to another area, check out online programs.

Gmen better step it up and pull away.
I'm sure they aren't going to be crying with Kirk Cousins.
No, I guess not. They scored a TD and 2-point conversion with him in.
That looked nasty. They just announced it was a sprain. He is lucky.
Redskins going to win that game along with a Dallas win. But RG3 is crying on the sidelines, he could be done for the season.
The skins still managed to hang in there and as usual dallas pulled a win out of their *** at the last minute
Doesn't matter, they'll just get another guy to hand the ball off.

Dr. Jobe Martin ArgumentsDiscussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution.
Moderator: BioTeam
7 posts • Page 1 of 1
Dr. Jobe Martin Arguments
Been chatting with a Strongly believing christian girl now for several days, been arguing around with no results,
Personally I don't find Jobe Martins argument very convincing because he doesn't explain why the evolution couldn't handle such task it self and why it needs a supernatural creator to achieve such evolution.
This is her proof that Charles Darwin's Evolution Theory is bull*hit, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPaIob4KuXc&fb_source=message which i don't take that nicely, Sure he couldn't get everything right, but he was the one carving out the track.
What is your view on Dr Jobe Martins, do you think he brings up valid arguments?
Do you think he is able to achieve what he tries to achieve in the scientific community to debunk the evolution theory and prove the intelligent design?
Any answer would be appreciated !
poor giraffe is used as argument by both sites
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Re: Dr. Jobe Martin Arguments
My only advice is believe that "believing" christian girl. God created the heavens and earth. It only takes a genuine study and a trip down to the local library or bookshop with some loose change and you'll find that out. Regards..Grant
Re: Dr. Jobe Martin Arguments
Dr. Jobe Martin is not a doctor of any affect, he was a dentist. He seems to have a desperate need for attention that would let him twist rational thought so far as to make it unrecognizable. His explanations of what he has convinced himself as being true are beyond childish and can only be described as delutional. It is no wonder that Americans have fallen so far in the realm of science with people like Dr. Jobe Martin spewing out idiot theories as some kind of fact. I wish someone would convince him that taking his picture will steal his soul, I'm sure he would not be too hard to convince.
Re: Dr. Jobe Martin Arguments
You don't have to believe in a god to know that evolution is one of the dumbest theories out there. I can literally go on for hours on how it is dis-proven by facts we have known for years. But instead basing on what Dr. Jobe is simply stating how did all these animals evolve? What animal that we know for a fact existed evolved into a giraffe? Or really any animal for that matter? Where did all the half animals go? Where is there a timeline that shows what animals came first? Please consider all 8 millions of them. Do you any of you that believe in evolution take just a few minutes to consider how different each any is and where are all the lost links between each one vanished to? There hasn't been and will never be an answer for that. Please, please attempt to explain how this can be possible? You would be the first. This is just one of hundreds of facts that go against the evolution theory. If you would like to pass this question I would understand. I have a ton more that evolutionists won't give a time to day to consider because they completely go against scientific facts. I don't mean to come across as a know it all. Actually I'm one of the few that can admit that I don't know all of life's unanswered questions. The problem with creationist vs evolutionist is they both believe without a doubt that they're right. I know more about evolution (one of the main reasons i dont believe it) then most evolutionist I come across that I have to tell them what they believe. Is that not in its self show that people aren't thinking for themselves? That is all I won't both parties to do. The one thing creationist has is that they admit their beliefs are just that beliefs based on faith. Evolutions however won't go into the details that are addressed but still continue to believe it as fact. Arguing is pointless when you have people that believe their theory is fact vs people that have decided to have blind faith.
nhutton - OMG - Really? You obviously know nothing of evolution. Can you name one dis-proven fact? You see facts are things that have been proven already. THere are a great many theories that have been disproved but they were only theories. Evolution is a theory the same way gravity is still considered a theory, do you know why? Gravity is still a theory because we still do not fully understand it, it is actually very complex, did you know that light is affected by gravity? bet you didn't know that.
So evolution is only a theory because we can not know for sure all the details that cover billions of years, I'm guessing you do not know the details of the last 10 years as well as the detail are know and proven for the evolutionary process of the last 100,000 years.
Evolution does not ask blind faith, in fact it is one of the most tested theories ever conceived.
Lets take your fine example, what animal evolved into a giraffe , well, no animal that we can point to evolved specifically into a giraffe, it took millions of years and countless variations. That would be exactly like asking you at what point did you go from being a baby to the age you are now? Can you tell me? Can you pin point it for me? OH, better yet. How can you prove that the baby Jesus is the same as the grown up jesus? Where is the evidence? where is the proof? What documentation do you have? How can you be sure that it is not a completely different person? And what proof do you have that this jesus ever existed? NOTHING - that's what you would have. Unlike evolution that have more evidence than you could go through in your lifetime. The only trouble is that it is not a picture book and you need to use your brain to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Because for every billion animals that have existed there are about 5 that have left evidence of there existence. Basically it is like trying to show a picture of puzzle that has a billion pieces but you only have a few thousand. Now most of the ones you have go together so you can see bits of the picture but the rest you need to guess at. But you know what? I bet if I showed even you a digital photograph that could easily have a billion pixels, but one in which they were all white except for a few thousand of them, I bet even you could probably make out what it is a picture of. AND THAT is how we know evolution to be true! Because enough of the bits have been found and put together to paint enough of the picture that we have a good sense of what the picture actually looks like. You don't need evidence of every single stage and in reality there isn't evidence because it is incredibly rare for an animal to be trapped in the perfect conditions that allow it to be found as a fossil.
So to your point, arguing is useless with someone who is completely out of touch with REALITY and thinks it is more possible that man was made of dirt and woman was made of man's rib. That bedtime story is the only one that requires faith, it almost makes Harry Potter sound more plausable.
You KNOW nothing of evolution, you may think you do but you don't because if you did you would no there are not answers to every question for a process that has taken billions of years. But really I find it hard to understand how you could not believe since I am guessing you believe in magic and that all the animals just appeared just as they are and that man is the one who must of hunted the dinosaurs to extinction and that's why they are not around anymore, or don't you believe in dinosaurs, I suppose if you believe the bible then you don't, must be one of god's tricks. And you must also believe than an old guy built a big boat and put a pair of every single animal on earth into it, and I'm sure you have lots of evidence for that one to go with all your jesus evidence.
But in the end it doesn't matter, you don't need to believe in evolution and it doesn't matter that I only believe in reality, because we are going to end up in the same place and chances are in 10,000 years there will be absolutely zero evidence that either one of us ever existed and I am fine with that. ANd since I am sure that scares you then you can keep telling yourself you are going to go to heaven, just like that group of young men convince themselves when they flew planes into the world trade center. You can do anything, as long as you believe.
I'm sorry but I just watch a bit more of this Jobe Martin DDS (that's dentist) and his is not even an argument. All he is really saying is "I can't wrap my head around how this could have evolved so here is what I think must have happened, that grand designing who has absolutely no skill as an engineer or designer slapped these animals together and then jerry rigged everything in true Rube Goldberg fashion so that it all works but in the most remarkably convoluted way. AND he did this by magic".
That's his argument "I don't know so it must have been magic" or some other word you want to use to describe making an animal appear out of essentially nothing. Creation is just another way of saying "I don't know, I don't understand and I don't care". But please stop making yourself look like such and idiot by arguing god must have done it.
I am getter pretty tired of people toting the bible and scriptures as some kind of
proof of anything and then try to argue actual evidence is proof of nothing.
Defend evolution? I don't have to, it's actual and there is plenty of actual evidence but just try to defend creation? If you know for a fact that there is a higher power then good for you. I don't know that. But I am very confident that the god, or gods,
that are written in any book, including the bible, are only made up. They
have come strictly from the imaginations of man. And the only reference
anyone can ever come up with as any proof of god is those books that are
made up from the imaginations of man.
So if you believe in a higher power great, but you can not use any book or
anything written down as an example or proof of anything other than that man
has an incredible imagination. There is no documentation that is evidence
of god. And even the documentation of Jesus is pretty damn sketchy.

This article previews upcoming battles in Congress and analyzes how the recent border crisis is changing the broader immigration debate in the United States.
Turkey's migration identity has shifted from being principally a country of emigration and transit to becoming a destination for immigrants and people fleeing conflict. In response, Turkish policymakers recently enacted a comprehensive migration and asylum law that took effect in April 2014. This article examines the new law, which is intended as a significant step toward managing both legal and irregular migration to Turkey, including humanitarian migration.

Recognizing their new positions in the global mobility system, several governments from countries with emerging economies are implementing structures to proactively manage the flow of people across their borders.
Countries looking to infuse their economies with an additional cash flow are embracing immigrant investor programs — selling permanent residence or even citizenship to individuals willing to invest a significant sum in their economy.
With more than 2.2 million Syrians who have already sought refuge abroad and more than 4 million others displaced internally, the challenges that the international community are facing from the Syrian humanitarian crisis continue to mount.
A number of interlocking concerns have emerged in recent months regarding the rights of mobile EU citizens, fueled in part by euroskeptic parties (such as the UK Independence Party), and more hard-line anti-immigration parties such as the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands.
This year has seen greater focus by policymakers in countries around the world on the balance between two enduring, complex migration management imperatives: maintaining secure and credible borders while separating out unauthorized immigrants from the most vulnerable populations in need of humanitarian protection, particularly those seeking refuge from conflict and persecution.

Burma, a resources-rich yet impoverished nation also known as Myanmar, rejoined the international community in 2011 after a military junta loosened its grip.

Braves legends could highlight 2014 Hall class
Maddux, Glavine, Cox, Schuerholz to debut as candidates
ATLANTA -- Because no living players were elected to baseball's Hall of Fame this year, Cooperstown will be quieter than usual this summer. But the historic rural town in New York will likely be buzzing during the summer of 2014 when a few legendary Braves figures are expected to gain baseball's greatest honor.
Braves pitchers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine will highlight the list of players who will be added to the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time next year. Those two 300-game winners could be sharing the honor with their former manager Bobby Cox and former general manager John Schuerholz, who could both gain election through the Veterans Committee.
"That would truly be something," Cox said. "I've always said, I just want to be there when Maddux, Glavine, [John] Smoltz and all of those guys get in."
Over the next few years, the Hall of Fame ceremonies could conjure up memories of those Braves teams that won 14 consecutive division titles and went to five World Series. Maddux and Glavine are positioned to be the first players from those teams to gain election. Smoltz will be eligible in 2015 and Chipper Jones in 2018.
Fittingly, the baseball gods have positioned Cox and Schuerholz, the architects of those teams, to potentially be enshrined at the same time as Maddux and Glavine.
Like Maddux and Glavine, Frank Thomas could also gain the honor of being a first-ballot inductee in 2014. And to add to the potential splendor of the occasion, legendary managers Tony La Russa and Joe Torre will also be eligible for 2014 induction via the Veterans Committee.
Cox, Schuerholz, La Russa and Torre becoming first-time eligible candidates in 2014 is a product of the voting-procedure changes made in 2010. The voting process now focuses on three eras -- pre-integration (1871-1946), golden (1947-72) and expansion (1973-89 for players; 1973-present for managers, umpires and executives).
Maddux and Glavine spent 10 seasons (1993-2002) pitching together in Atlanta. They accounted for six of the eight National League Cy Young Awards presented from 1991-98. Smoltz accounted for one of the others in 1996.
Schuerholz kept the team's core together and continued to improve the roster for Cox, who guided the Braves to one World Series title, 14 consecutive division titles and 15 trips to the playoffs from 1991 until he retired at the end of the 2010 season.
Cox ranks fourth on the all-time wins list for Major League managers. He sits one spot behind La Russa and one spot ahead of Torre.

OAKLAND -- Bengie Molina has said all year that he doesn't think about possibly making the All-Star team -- he's all about helping his team win games and everything else that comes out of it is secondary.
On Sunday, Molina will have to think about it a little bit because he was named one of five American League finalists for the etopps All-Star Final Vote, joining Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees, Frank Thomas of the Chicago White Sox, Eric Byrnes of the Oakland A's and Jason Varitek of the Boston Red Sox.
Players were nominated by 2003 All-Star Game managers Dusty Baker and Mike Scioscia in conjunction with Major League Baseball. Fans can vote here at www.angelsbaseball.com or
MLB.com, and can select one player for each league. The etopps All-Star Final Vote ends on Wednesday, July 9, at 6 p.m. ET. Winners will be announced on MLB.com shortly thereafter.
It might be a tough road to win the final spot in this vaunted company, but it's doubly tough to dispute the fact that he is having an All-Star-caliber season.
The Angels catcher entered Sunday's game against Oakland with a .289 batting average, eight homers (after hitting seven all of last year) and 44 RBIs (47 last year).
He's also continued the solid defense behind the plate that led to a Gold Glove and a World Series ring in 2002. Going into Sunday, Molina had thrown out 13 of his last 26 would-be base stealers and 18 of 46 on the season, second in the AL.
Molina, a 28-year-old native of Puerto Rico in his fourth full big-league season, has been the anchor of the Angels' championship rotation and has proven to be their best clutch hitter this year.
Molina leads Angels starters with a .371 (23-for-62) batting average with runners in scoring position and has been on fire lately. He was 25-for-76 (.329) in June, raising his average from .267 to .290.
If you ask Angels manager Scioscia, a former two-time All-Star catcher with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Molina's candidacy is without question.
"He absolutely deserves to be considered," Scioscia said. "He's having a fantastic offensive year, and you can't always weigh what he does on the offensive side. What he does with the staff and what he does behind the plate are incredibly valuable to the team."
Molina has suffered from various ailments over his first three seasons, most of them hamstring-related, but he hired a personal trainer in the offseason after the Angels won the 2002 World Series.
He reported to camp stronger and in better condition and said the results are showing on the field.
"The thing that's very important for me is to stay in shape and be there for the team whenever they need me," Molina said. "That's the only thing -- that I'm healthy to help my club win games."
That's why he humbly reiterates that he won't be upset if he doesn't make the final cut.
"Do I ever want to be on the team?" Molina said. "Yes. But it's up to the fans. If they want me to be in the game, they'll pick me, and if they don't, they won't. I'll respect their decisions either way."

Mahy served as an assistant coach at FGCU during the first two years of the program. He helped build the first-year program into a national power in just one season, helping guide the Eagles to the 2004 regional semifinals during their first year of competition. In 2005, the Eagles advanced to the regional finals.
Prior to his stint at FGCU, he served as an assistant coach at Miami-Dade CC under Llida Medero. During his tenure with MDCC, the Sharks won the 2002 NJCAA National Championship and finished 2003 as the NJCAA National Runner-up. He also served as an assistant coach to the USA South Volleyball Club from 2003-2005 and a variety of other club teams in South Florida.

HIV infection is a condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The condition gradually destroys the immune system, which makes it harder for the body to fight infections.
This article provides a general overview. For more detailed information, see:
Human immunodeficiency virus infection
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be spread by the following:
Rare ways the virus may be spread include:
Blood banks and orang donor programs screen donors, blood, and tissues thoroughly to prevent the risk of infection. HIV is NOT transmitted to a person who DONATES blood or organs. People who donate organs are never in direct contact with people who receive them. Likewise, a person who donates blood is never in contact with the person receiving it. In all these procedures, sterile needles and instruments are used.
HIV infection is NOT spread by:
People at highest risk for getting HIV include:
See also: AIDS
People who become infected with HIV may not have any symptoms for up to 10 years, but they can still pass the infection to others. After you come in contact with the virus, it can take up to 3 months for a blood test to show that you have HIV.
Symptoms related to HIV are usually due to a different infection in the body. Some symptoms related to HIV infection include:
Note: Many people have no symptoms when they are diagnosed with HIV.
The HIV ELISA and HIV Western blot
tests detect antibodies
to the HIV virus in the blood. Both tests must be positive to confirm an HIV infection. Having these antibodies means you are infected with HIV.
A complete blood count (CBC
) and white blood cell differential
may also show abnormalities.
A lower-than-normal CD4 cell count may be a sign that the virus is damaging your immune system.
Doctors usually recommend medicine for patients who are committed to taking all their medications and have a CD4 count below 500 cells/mm3 (which is a sign that of a weakened immune system). Some people, including pregnant women and people with kidney or neurological problems related to HIV, may need treatment regardless of their CD4 count.
It is extremely important for people with HIV to take all doses of their medications, otherwise the virus may become resistant to the drugs. Therapy always involves a combination of antiviral drugs. Pregnant women with HIV infection are treated to reduce the chance of transmitting HIV to their babies.
People with HIV infection need to become educated about the disease and treatment so that they can be active participants in making decisions with their health care provider.
See: AIDS - support group
HIV is a chronic
medical condition that can be treated, but not yet cured. There are effective ways to prevent complications and delay, but not always prevent, progression to AIDS.
Almost all people infected with HIV will develop AIDS if not treated. However, there is a small group of people who develop AIDS very slowly, or never at all. These patients are called long-term nonprogressors.
Call your health care provider if you have had a possible or actual exposure to AIDS or HIV infection.

IRS. Although it appeared they lied I can understand why they were targeted.
SequesterCongress could have done something but chose not too. Blaming only one party about issues now a days is flat out dumb when the other does little to nothing to fix it.
The IRS:That information seemingly contradicts public statements by IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, who told congressional investigators in March 2011 that specific groups were not being targeted.Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/05/12/rogers-irs-targeting-tea-party-and-other-political-groups-intimidation/#ixzz2TAqeOHWh

The Daily Scope
Today favors a very down to earth, practical approach. Serious Saturn is opposite the Sun, asking that you stay connected to your sense of well-being and prosperity. If some worries want to intrude, focus on what is uplifting and expansive. Exercise is helpful because it can be both down to earth and uplifting!
Center yourself in your ideal of enduring love. Remember that it is this vision that will lead you forward today. A difficult astrological aspect, occurs between the Sun and stern Saturn. You may find yourself worrying about love and personal security. You avoid getting bogged down in this by remaining focused on your personal vision of love and happiness.
A relationship is important today, and needs your attention. This is the one day this year that the Sun will be opposite to Saturn, (the planet of teaching and life lessons). This will present some challenges for everyone, sparking some insecurities with issues related to achieving personal security in a rapidly changing world. Stay connected to your loving heart, and a sense of prosperity, and all will be well!
Today the Sun will oppose Saturn, asking you to take things slowly, and will require patience. You make good use of the energies by taking care of yourself physically, exercise and self-pampering are productive. You may have a flash of intuition that suggests a strategy for success. A professional opportunity, allowing greater freedom, is in the offing.
Today is challenging. The Sun is opposite stern Saturn, the teacher. Strive to go with the flow, keep your eye on your goals, and remember to stay connected to the highest vision for your life. Today is not about pushing forward, but to be gentle and patient with yourself and others. Even though you're asked to slow down today, you still continue to advance.
Today the astrological energies are a bit of a seesaw. Though good fortune surrounds you, today might prove challenging. The Sun is in a difficult position with Saturn (the planet of manifestation) and your thoughts might be weighted with worry regarding your ambitions and highest ideals. But don't allow this to halt you for too long. Be active, but patient. Follow your heart, and continue in the direction of your dreams.
People around you might be worrying today. There is a difficult aspect between the Sun and Saturn (the Planet of Manifestation), which may trigger their financial insecurity. Some people will want to tighten their purse strings. Fortunately this is the one day of the year that we will experience this astrological aspect. Take things slowly, and stay connected to your sense of prosperity. All will be well.
Be patient today. The Sun is opposite Saturn, indicating that everyone will need to take it slow today. Money, and what you value, may be very much on your mind. You want to understand the next practical step to take in order to feel that you are moving forward toward your vision of the future. Be guided by your inner wisdom, and listen to your intuition.
This is the one day this year that the Sun will be opposite Saturn (the planet of manifestation). Be prepared to take things slowly, and strive not to be drawn into gloomy thoughts or worry. A much better focus would be to strive to enjoy yourself, particularly with someone special, who may have good news to celebrate! Home life and your private world bring inspiration.
Today is the one day this year that the Sun will be opposite to your planetary ruler, Saturn. This asks that you take things slowly and conserve your energy. Be patient, and give your attention to the creative process rather than the need to see results right away. Saturn is assisting you with the manifestation of your dreams. Know this, your wish will come true.
The astrological energies present a challenge today, asking for you to slow down, and be patient. Today is not a day to strive to do too much or to be overly ambitious. This is the one day of the year when the Sun will be opposite to the planet Saturn (the stern teacher). Others around you may be in a serious mood, with weighty thoughts. Keep your focus upon your positive accomplishments and go forward!
There is a difficult astrological aspect today. This is the one day of this year that the Sun will be opposite to Saturn (the plant of manifestation). This doesn't mean that success will be blocked, but it does mean that you will need to be patient. You have been working very hard, and have recently been learning a great deal about your financial convictions. Rest assured: A positive outlook, combined with a sense of abundance, is leading you toward accomplishment and new opportunities. Pisces, you are a success!

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
This is not a real interesting week in the SEC, but there are a few somewhat significant league contests.
All times Eastern:
The Rebels are wearing a "DW" sticker on their helmets this week to honor Tulane player Devon Walker, who suffered a spinal injury against Tulsa two weeks ago. Ole Miss fans know how a terrible injury to one of your guys can put things in perspective. Mississippi star Chucky Mullins suffered a paralyzing injury in a 1989 game and died a couple of years later after a hard, brave fight.
It's a classy gesture by Ole Miss, and good wishes to Walker, who is recovering in a rehab facility.
This might be a pretty good game, too. Tulane is up-and-coming, and Ole Miss is rebuilding with a lot to prove.
The SEC leads the nation in schools located in a town called Columbia. One goes to visit the other here.
South Carolina is a 10-point favorite, and probably would be a heavier favorite if the Gamecocks had not been so flaky this year. Speaking of which, what's wrong with Marcus Lattimore? He was the best back in the SEC last year and he's been a nonentity so far.
Lattimore better reappear against Missouri, which has a good pass defense, and S.C. quarterback Connor Shaw has been underwhelming throwing the ball. Mizzou's James Franklin didn't play last week against Arizona State because he had a boo boo or something. If he's well and able to go, Mizzou can hang.
The star value of No. 2 LSU is about all that's left to make this game interesting. Auburn has been a disappointment, while LSU has trampled everybody it's seen, which is to say, nobody in particular.
LSU has played Hector to Alabama's Achilles in 2012 - the roles were reversed last year when LSU was the be-all and end-all of college football while Bama was grinding out workmanlike victories. This LSU team has a flock of good running backs, a competent quarterback (unlike last year) and a defense that doesn't include the Honey Badger. In other words, everything's better than it used to be.
The line is 21. It'll be worse unless Auburn has something up its sleeve we have not seen yet.
This one is mildly interesting because last year Vanderbilt played Georgia surprisingly close, and then coming off the field, Vandy coach James Franklin got into a dustup with a Georgia assistant coach, and the players pushed and shoved a little bit. It was a big deal only because if Vanderbilt fought after every loss, the Marines would need a base in Nashville.
Georgia has been an uninspired team this year, and you kind of expect the Bulldogs to get it handed to them sooner or later. Probably not now, but soon.
Florida Atlantic brings the nation's 105th ranked offense to Tuscaloosa. Alabama has not had three straight shutouts since 1966. Seeing if the Tide can pull that off is the only reason to watch this game besides pure sadism.
Well, as if things weren't bad enough for Arkansas interim coach John L. Smith, bankruptcy figures released a few days ago show he's about $25 million in debt. He got caught up in some bad real estate deals, and a couple of banks in Louisville, where he used to coach, say he owes them several dump trucks full of $100 bills.
Coincidentally, the Razorbacks gave up 25 million yards to Alabama last week.
Sorry. That was mean. The 1-2 Razorbacks are reeling, and undefeated Rutgers is in town. Tyler Wilson dogged his team last week in the news conference after the embarrassing loss to Alabama, and he might be back under center. That would definitely help.
The Wildcats usually play well at Florida. It won't matter.
Mississippi State gave up almost 600 yards to Troy last week and won anyway. South Alabama couldn't gain 600 yards against a stiff breeze.
They have South Carolina in their name, but that's about it.
The pridestung Volunteers need a ritual sacrifice to rededicate themselves for the important game with Georgia next week.

Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Lenovo's first LTE smartphone comes packed with high-end features, including a 5MP front-facing camera.
Pricing not available
Although the Sony Xperia M2 looks pretty slick, it's let down by its low resolution display and its old version of Android, which makes even its affordable price way too high. For much less money, you could snap up the Moto G or spend a little more and pick up the older Xperia Z with its full HD display and waterproof design.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
Don't call this a phone -- despite its phone-like shape and voice-calling capabilities, the Panasonic insists that it's a slate.
Pricing not available
As with the original flagship, Samsung is counting on the midrange phone's fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor, and extra apps to stand out.
For iPhone photographers who want to get closer to the world around you, this is the lens to do it with.
The Sony Z Ultra Google Play Edition's insanely large size and stratospheric price make the Nexus 5 and Note 3 better options for pure Android power.
With its aluminium body, high-quality digital audio amplifier, and ability to play lossless audio files, the Sony NWZ-Z10 is an MP3 player for the dedicated audiophile that demands top-quality sound.

Talk about junk in the trunk.TV station WZZM reports a Kalamazoo public safety officer checking a suspicious car parked behind a motel early Tuesday morning appeared more than a little surprised when a deer climbed from the trunk, stumbled on the pavement and bolted into nearby woods.The stations report the driver told officer David Miller he'd killed the deer after hitting it on the road and was bringing it to his family as meat.Miller started opening the trunk after the driver unlocked it with a release button. A camera from a Kalamazoo squad car shows Miller starting to close the trunk and the deer climbing out rear-first.Lt. Stacey Geik says the collision probably just stunned the deer.

Gatton Academy student Gretchen Walch is pictured with Dr. Graham Hatfull, Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Professor. Dr. Hatfull is the Principal Investigator for the HHMI Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomic and Evolutionary Science program, a research-based laboratory course aimed at undergraduate students who are new to college-level science and have had little or no independent research experience.
Walch received an honorable mention for her presentation titled "Isolation, Characterization and Genomic Analysis of Mycobacteriophages Achebe, MooMoo, Simpliphy and Updawg."
The meeting took place June 7-9 at the Janelia Farm Research campus in Ashburn, Va. This year's symposium featured more than 75 undergraduate poster presentations.
Dr. Rodney King and Dr. Claire Rinehart, professors in WKU's Department of Biology, have co-mentored Walch over the past year and attended the symposium with her.
"Gretchen was chosen to represent the WKU Genome Discovery and Exploration class because she demonstrated enthusiasm, maturity, perseverance and genuine curiosity," Dr. King said. "She spent many extra hours in the lab learning as much as she could about her phage and ensuring her lab notebook was complete and up-to-date. Gretchen also embraced the collaborative nature of the scientific process and willingly helped her classmates with laboratory protocols."
The WKU Biology Department has participated in the SEA-PHAGES program since the fall of 2009. The Genome Discovery and Exploration Program at WKU is designed to engage freshman students in meaningful and authentic research that produces publishable results.
Course participants isolate and sequence novel viruses from the soil, contribute the genomic sequences to a public database and address scientific questions of viral diversity and evolution.
Walch came away from the SEA-PHAGES symposium with a renewed interest in continuing research.
"The SEA-PHAGES Symposium was inspiring," she said. "The environment and guest speakers expanded my imagination in research. Every part of the program from the presentations and poster sessions to the meals and coffee breaks fostered the wonderful concept of scientific dialog. My mind has been racing with excitement since I heard the first talk."
A number of additional Gatton Academy students contributed to the work presented on Walch's poster. Gatton students who are co-authors on the presentation include: Corbin M. Allender, Grace E. Babbs, Barry C. Blair, Carolyn M. Clark, Joseph E. Crafton, Ajit R. Deshpande, Samantha M. Dinga, Hannah N. Graff, Alex W. Kearns, Azlin L. Lewis, Mary-Grace E. Luscher, Patrick G. Osterhaus, Lindsey R. Porter, Lindsey M. Shain, Domnique C. Thayer, Vishnuteja Tirumala and Connor M. VanMeter.

AUGUSTA — Leaders in the Legislature's Democratic majority renewed calls Tuesday to expand the MaineCare system to cover an additional 70,000 people, including childless adults and veterans who have non-service-related medical issues not covered by the Veterans Affairs Administration.
House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, disputed Republican claims that accepting federal funds under the Affordable Care Act to expand MaineCare would end up costing the state money.
"(Gov. Paul LePage's) accusations that it is going to cost more than it saves are wrong," Eves said.
Republicans have said the expansion would cost the state $10 million a year in administrative expenses, and once the federal funding is reduced to 90 percent of the state's total cost, the annual expense to taxpayers would be $75 million.
Eves said the fiscal note provided to the Legislature by the nonpartisan Office of Fiscal and Program Review shows the savings are greater than the costs because the federal reimbursement rates are higher under an expanded program.
"The state of Maine is one of a few states in the nation that is actually going to see savings if they make this decision," Eves said. "It is a missed opportunity that's going to hurt our economy. It's going to hurt families that can't access doctors when they are sick."
Eves predicted his caucus would have the support it needs to pass an expansion of the program in 2014. Democrats fell two votes shy in 2013.
But House Minority Leader Ken Fredette, R-Newport, said Eves' assessment may be wishful thinking.
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," Fredette said.
He said the Legislature had yet to have a full debate in a "meaningful way" on the issue.
LEWISTON — Gov. Paul LePage will visit Central Maine Medical Center on Wednesday to deliver the news that the state is making good on a $183 million debt it has owed the state's 39 hospitals beginning in 2009.
The state payment for past services provided under MaineCare, the state's Medicaid system, will trigger a federal matching amount, bringing the total payment to hospitals to more than $490 million.
LePage quipped that he would deliver the news "Publisher's-Clearinghouse"-style with a giant check, but he later said he was simply glad the state was finally making good on its debt.
Paying the hospital debt has been a focal point of LePage's administration and an issue he campaigned on in 2010, promising he would get the hospitals paid, if elected.
"It's not a windfall; it's paying our bills to them, but it's putting money into the state's economy," LePage told the Sun Journal in an interview.
LePage will visit CMMC at 2 p.m. after an 11:15 a.m. stop at Inland Hospital in Waterville.

BREAKING NEWS: Hammers up Olsson bid
6:05pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Sport By Andy Cryer , Blackburn Rovers reporter
WEST Ham United have increased their offer for Blackburn Rovers' Martin Olsson.
The Hammers are understood to have now bid in the region of £4million for the Swedish international - just 24 hours after manager Sam Allardyce said they were unlikely to raise their bid from an initial £2m.
Olsson would be interested in a move to the Premier League, although sources close to the player insist he won't force a switch, bur Rovers remain keen to hold on to him.
West Ham are waiting for a final answer but the Lancashire Telegraph understand owners Venky's have again been advised to reject it.
