Big Ten: Ryan McDonald
Illinois' Allen slims down and steps up
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
RANTOUL, Ill. -- It might come as a surprise that Illinois head coach Ron Zook identifies the offensive line as the position group that could make the biggest jump from 2008 to 2009.
After all, the Illini lose multi-year starters at arguably the two most important line positions, center and left tackle. Second-team All-Big Ten performers Xavier Fulton and Ryan McDonald are gone, leaving two sizable gaps to fill.
Enter Jeff Allen.
Not many true freshmen start on the offensive line in the Big Ten, but Allen earned the top spot at right tackle last fall and started nine contests for Illinois. His responsibilities will increase this year as he moves to left tackle, where he'll protect quarterback Juice Williams' blind side.
"It's a big step," he said, "something I was looking forward to coming in."
Allen, who was named to several freshman All-America teams after the season, surprised himself with how quickly he transitioned to the college game and picked up the offensive scheme. In fact, his toughest task last year took place before he locked horns with an opposing defensive lineman in a game.
"When I first came in, in high school I really didn't do much conditioning as far as lifting weights or running," he said. "I was a little overweight."
Allen checked in at 335 pounds but quickly slimmed down as he entered Illinois' strength and conditioning program.
"They didn't rush it on me," he said. "They just told me to continue to work, and the weight started to drop. Then they started to set goals. 'You're at 320 now. We want you to try to get to 315 and play at that weight and see how it feels.'"
Allen got down to 310 pounds and has maintained his weight throughout the offseason.
"I know I can move better," he said. "That's one of the biggest things by me losing weight, to show my athleticism."
Michigan's Mesko makes Playboy All-America team
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
Michigan senior punter Zoltan Mesko has been named to the 2009 Playboy Magazine preseason All-America team, the school announced Tuesday. Mesko earned first-team All-Big Ten honors last season after leading the league and finishing 19th nationally in punting average (42.95 yards per punt).
Mesko has started 38 games for Michigan and should become the school's all-time leader in both punts and punting yards this fall.
He joins Northwestern defensive end Corey Wootton, who was named to the Playboy All-America team last week.
The entire All-America team will be published in the September issue of the magazine. Four Big Ten players -- Ohio State's James Laurinaitis and Malcolm Jenkins, and Illinois' Vontae Davis and Ryan McDonald -- made last year's team.
Big Ten Friday mailbag
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
I will be in a Big Ten state this weekend, and it's not Illinois. Can you name it? If so, I have no prizes to offer, just my salute to you.
T.J. from State College, Pa., writes: El Duderino, I?m glad you ranked the toughest places to play in the Big Ten; I enjoyed reading your explanations. I have always thought of Beaver Stadium followed by Camp Randal as the toughest places to play with Ohio Stadium in a distant third. The atmosphere at the PSU-OSU game this past fall was pathetic for a night game. Anyway, I would like to propose a quantitative way of ranking the toughest places to play. If you take each team?s last ten losses (not played on a neutral site) and count how many occurred at home, you have a pretty good indicator of the strength of a particular venue. Here is how it came out when I added them up: 1.Penn State-(2) 2.Wisconsin, Iowa-(3) 3.Ohio State, Michigan State, Illinois, Purdue-(4) 4.Indiana-(5) 5.Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota-(6)
Adam Rittenberg: First off, I think the nature of the Ohio State-Penn State game -- only 19 points scored -- probably took the edge off the Ohio Stadium crowd. It's still a very tough environment for road teams. Moving on, I like your formula. It's interesting how Ohio State has struggled a bit at home in recent years, but been flat-out dominant on the road in league games. Keep in mind that Penn State and Wisconsin also didn't face Texas at home, though Penn State deserved more credit than it received for beating up on Oregon State last fall.
Jordan from Jackson, Mich., writes: Adam, I know this is a little late, but I was thinking of rivalry games on unique fields and I was wondering what you would think of these scenerios. First Notre Dame and Michigan playing at Wrigley Field. One of the most popular places and sports along with the two winningest teams in college football history. And in a few years have the Michigan Ohio State rivalry played at a home n home at Ford Field and one at Clevland Browns Stadium, just for a nice change of pace. Go Blue!
Adam Rittenberg: Love the Wrigley Field idea, Jordan, and I'm sure a lot of fans would love to see this, too. The problem is the athletic directors from those schools would never give up those home games to play at a neutral site. The Wrigley Field game between Notre Dame and Michigan would be a true throwback, but a major issue is the size of the field. Northwestern wants to play a game there in the next few years, but there are some concerns that the field footprint isn't large enough. I really couldn't see Ohio State or Michigan giving up a home game to play at a smaller NFL stadium (with less character).

Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
The official list of players invited to the 2009 NFL scouting combine later in Indianapolis has been finalized. The Big Ten will be sending 46 players to Indianapolis from Feb. 18-24.
Not surprisingly, Penn State and Ohio State led the way with eight participants each, followed by Wisconsin (7), Illinois (5) and Iowa (5). Minnesota is the lone Big Ten team not sending a player to Indy.
Here's the team-by-team rundown.

- Running back Shonn Greene^
- Defensive tackle Mitch King
- Guard Seth Olsen
- Long snapper Sean Griffin
- Defensive end Tim Jamison
- Defensive tackle Terrance Taylor
- Cornerback Morgan Trent
- Quarterback Brian Hoyer
- Running back Javon Ringer
- Safety Otis Wiley
- Running back Tyrell Sutton
- Tackle Alex Boone
- Linebacker Marcus Freeman
- Wide receiver Brian Hartline^
- Cornerback Malcolm Jenkins
- Linebacker James Laurinaitis
- Wide receiver Brian Robiskie

Who got snubbed from the combine? Here are a few names surprisingly left off the list: Illinois center Ryan McDonald, Iowa defensive tackle Matt Kroul, Minnesota punter Justin Kucek, Northwestern defensive tackle John Gill, Penn State guard Rich Ohrnberger, Purdue linebacker Anthony Heygood and Wisconsin cornerback Allen Langford.
Recruiting needs: Illinois Fighting Illini
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
Talent certainly wasn't the problem last season in Champaign, and Illinois once again will return several game-changing skill players in 2009. Though Ron Zook must be mindful of impending departures at both quarterback and wide receiver, he can steer his recruiting elsewhere.Illinois must improve at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. A defensive line that Zook labeled the team's strength before the season underperformed, and Illinois still loses three key contributors in ends Will Davis and Derek Walker and tackle David Lindquist. Sirod Williams returns from a knee injury and Cory Liuget looks like the real deal, but Illinois could use some depth along the defensive line. With a new line coach joining the mix, the front should be the team's top priority.
Jeff Allen emerged as a stud at right offensive tackle, but Illinois also needs to beef up on the offensive line. There's a question mark at center following the graduation of Ryan McDonald, and left tackle Xavier Fulton also departs.
Despite a disappointing 2008 season, Martez Wilson remains Illinois' future at the linebacker position. All-Big Ten standout Brit Miller, Rodney Pittman and Sam Carson all graduate, so adding a linebacker or two wouldn't be a bad idea.
Zook also must prepare for Juice Williams' graduation and will add another quarterback to the mix in Nathan Scheelhaase, who could play a critical role if Eddie McGee doesn't pan out in 2010. The Illini look fine at running back, wide receiver and defensive back, though cornerback Vontae Davis' early departure to the NFL and the likely departure of Arrelious Benn following the 2009 season creates some holes.
Big Ten 2008 offensive line rankings (individual)
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
The team rankings are unquestionably the best gauge of an offensive line, but several individuals stood out and deserve recognition. The Big Ten seemed to be stronger at the interior line spots than at tackle this season.
Here are the Top 10 Big Ten offensive linemen for 2008.
1. Penn State center A.Q. Shipley
Named the Rimington Trophy winner as the nation's top center, Shipley anchored the Big Ten's best line and provided critical leadership as a co-captain. The league's coaches voted him Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, and I agree with the selection.
2. Penn State guard Rich Ohrnberger
The senior anchored the interior line along with Shipley and promising sophomore Stefen Wisniewski. The third-team AP All-American helped Penn State lead the Big Ten in scoring this fall.
3. Iowa guard Seth Olsen
Iowa developed into one of the league's best lines, and the veteran Olsen had a key role. A consensus first-team All-Big Ten selection, the senior led a solid interior line that created lanes for Doak Walker Award winner Shonn Greene.
4. Penn State tackle Gerald Cadogan
The fifth-year senior kept pass rushers off of Daryll Clark, as Penn State allowed a league-low 12 sacks this season. Cadogan earned consensus first-team All-Big Ten honors and was a four-time academic all-conference selection.
5. Wisconsin guard Kraig Urbik
Urbik earned consensus second-team All-Big Ten honors for the second consecutive season and creates lanes for P.J. Hill and John Clay in the league's top rushing attack. The senior remained one of the nation's top guards and should be a mid-round selection in April's draft.
6. Ohio State tackle Alex Boone
It wasn't the greatest year for the Ohio State offensive line or Boone, but he turned in several solid performances. Along with Cadogan, Boone earned first-team All-Big Ten honors and will be drafted in April.
7. Iowa center Rob Bruggeman
The former walk-on ended his career with an All-Big Ten performance as Iowa went 9-4. Bruggeman was a reliable presence in the middle of Iowa's line and created holes for an excellent between-the-tackles runner.
8. Michigan State guard Roland Martin
Martin earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from the media and helped Javon Ringer become one of the nation's top running backs. Along with teammate Jesse Miller, Roland anchored the right side of the line and limited sacks against Brian Hoyer.
9. Iowa tackle Bryan Bulaga
A rising star at left tackle, Bulaga will enter 2009 as one of the Big Ten's top offensive linemen. He helped Shonn Greene's cause this fall, and an Iowa team built around defense finished second in the league in scoring offense (30.2 points per game).
10. Illinois center Ryan McDonald
McDonald helped the Illini lead the Big Ten in passing and ranked second in total offense. A Rimington Trophy candidate, the senior earned second-team All-Big Ten honors for the second consecutive season.
Big Ten year-end offensive line rankings (team)
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
I'll pick up my year-end rankings with the offensive line before heading over to the defensive side and wrapping up with the specialists. Much like the preseason rankings, these will be split into two parts: team and individual.
Let's begin with the team rankings, which mean more at this position than any other on the field.
1. Penn State -- Far and away the best group in the league, with no real weak spot along the front. Rimington Trophy winner A.Q. Shipley led the way at center, and left tackle Gerald Cadogan and guard Rich Ohrnberger also earned first-team All-Big Ten selections. Penn State led the league in most offensive categories and will have a hard time replacing Shipley, Cadogan and Ohrnberger in 2009.
2. Iowa -- Much like the running back position, the question marks about this group faded as the season progressed. Center Rob Bruggeman and guards Seth Olsen and Julian Vandervelde formed arguably the Big Ten's top interior trio. Tackle Bryan Bulaga is a budding star, and Iowa should enter 2009 with the Big Ten's top offensive front.
3. Wisconsin -- The Badgers were a major disappointment this fall, but the offensive line still proved to be a valuable group as Wisconsin led the league in rushing (212 yards per game). Speed trumps size in today's college football, but the Badgers' mammoth front created holes for P.J. Hill and John Clay. Losing All-Big Ten guards Kraig Urbik and Andy Kemp will sting, but Wisconsin has bigger problems, like finding a quarterback.
4. Illinois -- There are several reasons why Illinois missed a bowl game, but the offensive line isn't one of them. The Illini finished second in the league in offense and tied for third in scoring, and center Ryan McDonald and tackle Xavier Fulton both earned All-Big Ten honors. Losing McDonald and Fulton will sting, but freshman tackle Jeff Allen is a budding star.
5. Ohio State -- The group underperformed for most of the season before coming on strong late. Injuries and a quarterback change didn't help matters, but Ohio State expected better things from a veteran-laden group left by left tackle Alex Boone. The Buckeyes ran the ball well at times but weren't consistent enough.
6. Michigan State -- Javon Ringer had a tremendous year, in part due to the offensive line, but Michigan State actually ranked ninth in the league in rushing and seventh in total offense. Not good. A mix of veterans and younger players jelled nicely, but this wasn't the most talented group in the league and could be better in 2009.
7. Purdue -- The Boilermakers' offense generated yards but not enough points, and the rushing game was nearly nonexistent despite the presence of a pretty decent back (Kory Sheets). Injuries hurt the group, which should be better in 2009.
8. Northwestern -- The league's youngest line certainly had its growing pains, and new coordinator Mick McCall likely adjusted his scheme to limit backfield damage. Northwestern allowed only 17 sacks and received strong play from center Ben Burkett and others, but the Wildcats struggled to run the ball consistently and broke down toward the end of the Alamo Bowl.
9. Michigan -- Like the rest of the offense, the line had its problems this fall. Four new starters and a fluid situation at quarterback didn't help, but Michigan never generated the push needed to execute Rich Rodriguez's scheme. The front five will be more experienced in 2009 and should improve with the right pieces around it.
10. Indiana -- The injury bug that ravaged the roster didn't spare the line, which lost several key pieces. Indiana ran the ball well at times with Marcus Thigpen and Kellen Lewis but allowed a Big Ten-worst 28 sacks. Defense hurt Indiana more than anything else, but the offensive line needs to be upgraded for next fall.
11. Minnesota -- Minnesota's problems up front were exposed in the final six games, all losses. Youth and an inability to create running lanes hurt the Gophers, who finished last in the league in rushing. New offensive line coach Tim Davis should get this group turned around for next season, when the power run will be a greater part of the offense.
Bowden Award finalists include two from Big Ten
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
Ohio State linebacker Marcus Freeman and Illinois center Ryan McDonald are two of the three finalists for the Bobby Bowden Award, presented by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The award recognizes an FBS player who "epitomizes the student-athlete who conducts himself as a faith model in the community, in the classroom and on the field."
Nominees must carry a grade-point average of 3.0 or better and have the support of their school's head coach and athletic director. Freeman carries a 3.35 GPA and is working on his graduate degree in education at Ohio State, while McDonald has a 3.81 GPA and is pursuing a graduate degree in aerospace engineering. Both players earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from the media this season.
Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee is the third finalist. The winner will be announced at the FCA breakfast on Jan. 6 in Miami.
Former Northwestern running back Jason Wright was the first recipient of the Bowden Award in 2003 and has been the only winner from the Big Ten.
Seven Big Ten players named Academic All-Americans
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
The Big Ten was well represented on the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America first team, as seven players made the list, two more than any other conference.
League champ Penn State led the way with four first-team Academic All-Americans: safety Mark Rubin, left tackle Gerald Cadogan, offensive lineman Andrew Pitz and linebacker Josh Hull. Other honorees include Ohio State wide receiver Brian Robiskie, Illinois center Ryan McDonald and Northwestern long snapper Phil Brunner.
Cadogan, Robiskie and McDonald all made first-team Academica All-America for the second consecutive season.
Penn State had the most Academic All-Americans of any Division I team. BYU, Dayton and North Dakota State were the only other schools with multiple selections.
Leaguewide position rankings for the Big Ten
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
After studying the All-Big Ten selections for 2008, it's clear the Big Ten is much stronger at some positions than others. The fact that it was hard to choose a second-team All-Big Ten quarterback tells you something about the league's troubles under center. On the flip side, there are 10-15 defensive linemen worthy of All-Big Ten status.
With the regular season wrapped up, here's a closer look at the Big Ten positions, from strongest to weakest.
Defensive line -- The depth at both line positions is astounding and will be reflected in the next few NFL drafts. Beginning with end, you have Penn State's Aaron Maybin, Minnesota's Willie VanDeSteeg, Michigan's Brandon Graham, Northwestern's Corey Wootton and Indiana's Jammie Kirlew. Guys like Michigan's Tim Jamison, Illinois' Derek Walker, Michigan State's Trevor Anderson, Wisconsin's Mike Newkirk, Purdue's Ryan Kerrigan and Penn State's Josh Gaines would be all-conference in most leagues, but not the Big Ten. The tackle spot might be even more stacked. Iowa's Mitch King leads the way, but he's joined by teammate Matt Kroul, Penn State's Jared Odrick, Michigan's Terrance Taylor, Northwestern's John Gill and Ohio State's Nader Abdallah.
Running back -- If not for the overwhelming depth on the D-line, this group would be No. 1 on the list. The Big Ten boasts three of the nation's top seven rushers in Iowa's Shonn Greene, Michigan State's Javon Ringer and Ohio State's Chris "Beanie" Wells. Penn State's Evan Royster also had a fabulous year. When guys like Purdue's Kory Sheets, Wisconsin's P.J. Hill, Michigan's Brandon Minor and Northwestern's Tyrell Sutton aren't even on the radar for all-conference, you've got a pretty solid group.
Linebacker -- This was another group that caused some tough choices for first-team all-conference. Ohio State's James Laurinaitis was a shoo-in, but Illinois' Brit Miller, Penn State's Navorro Bowman and Michigan State's Greg Jones are all in the mix for the other two spots. Iowa's Pat Angerer and A.J. Edds, Ohio State's Marcus Freeman, Wisconsin's DeAndre Levy and Indiana's Matt Mayberry add depth.
Offensive line (interior) -- Three centers were listed on the media's all-conference team, illustrating the depth there. Penn State center A.Q. Shipley earned Offensive Lineman of the Year honors, and Iowa's Rob Bruggeman and Illinois' Ryan McDonald also were recognized. The guard spot might be even stronger with Iowa's Seth Olsen, Penn State's Rich Ohrnberger and Stefen Wisniewski, Wisconsin's Kraig Urbik and Andy Kemp and Michigan State's Roland Martin.
Punter -- This was another group that stirred some debate about All-Big Ten selections. Michigan's Zoltan Mesko was the obvious choice, but Iowa's Ryan Donahue, Michigan State's Aaron Bates and Penn State's Jeremy Boone also were in the mix. Freshmen Brad Nortman (Wisconsin) and Chris Hagerup (Indiana) had terrific seasons, and I was also very impressed with Ohio State's A.J. Trapasso, Minnesota's Justin Kucek and Northwestern's Stefan Demos.
Cornerback -- I didn't fully grasp how strong the league was at cornerback until reviewing the All-Big Ten lists. Everyone knew about Ohio State's Malcolm Jenkins and Illinois' Vontae Davis, but several other players add depth, namely Wisconsin's Allen Langford, Iowa's Amari Spievey and Bradley Fletcher, Minnesota's Traye Simmons, Northwestern's Sherrick McManis and Michigan State's Chris L. Rucker.
Offensive tackle -- There weren't any off-the-charts performances here, but it's a solid group overall. Penn State's Gerald Cadogan moved past Ohio State's Alex Boone as the league's premier tackle. Boone didn't have the dominant year many expected, but he wasn't the main problem on Ohio State's underachieving line. Add in players like Iowa's Bryan Bulaga, Illinois' Xavier Fulton and Wisconsin's Eric Vanden Heuvel, and it's a decent group.
Safety -- Michigan State's Otis Wiley might be the only surefire NFL draft pick from this crop, but several other players turned in strong performances. Ohio State's Kurt Coleman should have been second-team All-Big Ten for both the media and coaches, and Northwestern's Brad Phillips has a major beef for being left off the list. Other standouts include Iowa's Brent Greenwood, Wisconsin's Jay Valai and Minnesota tandem Kyle Theret and Tramaine Brock.
Kicker -- A decent group overall, led by Penn State's Kevin Kelly and Michigan State's Brett Swenson, both of whom should have been Lou Groza Award semifinalists. Wisconsin's Philip Welch quietly had a very solid season (17-for-20), and Northwestern's Amado Villarreal also performed well.
Tight end -- Not the best season for tight ends, though it didn't help that Wisconsin All-American Travis Beckum was hurt for most of the fall. His replacement Garrett Graham had a nice year, as did Iowa's Brandon Myers, Michigan State's Charlie Gantt, Minnesota's Jack Simmons and Illinois' Michael Hoomanawanui, but it wasn't a great group overall.
Wide recever -- Minnesota's Eric Decker and Illinois' Arrelious Benn will be solid NFL players, and Penn State's Derrick Williams also will get to the next level. But quarterbacks and wide receivers are intertwined, and neither position sizzled this season. Penn State's three seniors (Williams, Deon Butler and Jordan Norwood) performed well, as did Purdue's Greg Orton and Wisconsin's David Gilreath. But not much depth here.
Quarterback -- This was the worst quarterback crop
in recent memory. Penn State's Daryll Clark was fabulous in his first season as the starter, and both Illinois' Juice Williams and Minnesota's Adam Weber showed growth at times. But it was legitimately difficult to choose a second-team all-league quarterback. Several fifth-year seniors struggled this fall, though there's hope for next year with players like Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor and Iowa's Ricky Stanzi.

Big Ten Morning Briefing: Brodell back for Iowa
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue's media day begins later Thursday morning, and I'll be there to check in with Heisman candidate Curtis Painter, coach-in-waiting Danny Hope and the rest of the Boilers.
First, I give you the links on the other 10 teams.
- My appearance at Camp Rantoul made Bob Asmussen's daily practice recap in The [Champaign, Ill.] News-Gazette. Thanks, Bob. Much more newsworthy items include a note on Illinois center Ryan McDonald and the fact several projected starters will appear on special teams this fall. Zook's best recruits at Illinois have come from the Washington, D.C., area, but he's also going back to his Ohio roots for talent. No big secret here, but the 2008 season hinges heavily on quarterback Juice Williams.
- Forget about Iowa's history of bouncing back from bad seasons on and off the field. Want a reason to be optimistic about the Hawkeyes? Wide receiver Andy Brodell is back in the fold, Susan Harman writes in the Iowa City Press-Citizen. Brodell is a difference-maker. Forbes magazine calls Iowa's Kirk Ferentz the worst value in college football, given his salary. I still think Iowa had to finalize Ferentz's contract at the time.
"The most overpaid coach is Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, who made $3.4 million last year despite lackluster results on the field, for a score of 71. Just how lopsided is Ferentz's deal? During the last three years he's pocketed $10 million, including a record $4.7 million in 2006, but has led the Hawkeyes to just a 19-18 record."
- Mitchell Evans came to Indiana with an open-minded attitude about where he'd play. The Hoosiers are putting that approach to the test by moving Evans to wide receiver, Terry Hutchens writes in The Indianapolis Star. A couple of more previews on Indiana, which wants to get back to a bowl game and win it this time.
- Rich Rodriguez might not be beloved on the practice field, but he also keeps his door open for his new players, the AP's Larry Lage writes. Nebraska's Bo Pelini isn't the only big-time coach looking to rebuild the walk-on program at his school. RichRod wants all the help he can get, John Heuser writes in The Ann Arbor News.
- Michigan State running back A.J. Jimmerson is no stranger to competition at his position, Chris Solari writes in the Lansing State Journal. A nationally televised opener at Cal gives the Spartans a chance to make an early statement, Shannon Shelton writes in the Detroit Free Press.
- Running back is a big concern at Minnesota, but a healthy Jay Thomas should help matters, Myron Medcalf writes in the (Minneapolis) Star Tribune. Two years ago, Jeff Tow-Arnett and Adam Weber worked on the quarterback-center exchange as young scout teamers at Minnesota. Now they're in the spotlight as starters, Marcus Fuller writes in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
- The Chicago Sun-Times' Jim O'Donnell checks in from Camp Kenosha, where Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald sees his defense improving and his new-look offensive line coming together. The Wildcats' bowl hopes hinge heavily on senior quarterback C.J. Bacher, Jay Taft writes in the Rockford Register Star.
- Despite two national title misses, Ohio State's coaches aren't concerning themselves with the past, Rob Oller writes in the Columbus Dispatch. Probably a good thing. Defensive tackle could be a weak spot for the Buckeyes, but defensive coordinator Jim Heacock likes what he has, The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Doug Lesmerises writes in his blog. Buckeyes center Jim Cordle could fool defenders at the line by snapping the ball with both hands, Ken Gordon writes in the Columbus Dispatch.
- Tyrell Sales is filling some big shoes as Penn State's linebacker leader, Ron Musselman writes in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The starters look set in Penn State's secondary, but watch out for reserve safety Drew Astorino, The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News' Bob Flounders writes in his blog. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane has a rundown of the improvements at Beaver Stadium this fall.
- Wisconsin cornerbacks Allen Langford and Aaron Henry have walked parallel paths following ACL surgery. Both men are back in the mix for starting jobs, Jeff Potrykus writes in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Defensive end O'Brien Schofield, a projected starter opposite Matt Shaughnessy, will miss 1-2 weeks of practice after suffering an ankle injury. End Kirk DeCremer remained out of both Wednesday practices, while quarterback Allan Evridge could return today, Potrykus writes in the Badgers Blog.
Ranking the Big Ten offensive lines
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
|Matthew Emmons/US Presswire
|Tackle Alex Boone is one of four returning starters on the Buckeyes' offensive line.
All of the previous positions I ranked (quarterback, running back, wide receiver/tight end) matter little without sturdy offensive lines to block for them. And despite lingering questions about its speed, the Big Ten continues to churn out elite linemen. The league has had three offensive linemen selected in the top 5 of the NFL draft in the last two years, including former Michigan tackle Jake Long, the No. 1 overall pick in April. Several elite players return this fall, including Ohio State tackle Alex Boone and Penn State center A.Q. Shipley, but offensive lines should always be graded as a group. Four teams look very solid up front. The rest of the league? Not so much.
Here's the rundown:
1. Ohio State -- Led by Boone, who passed up NFL bucks for another national title push, the Buckeyes bring back four of five starters up front. Sophomore Bryant Browning emerged at right tackle in spring ball and joins a group that helped Beanie Wells finish 11th nationally in rushing last season. If the first-team unit stays healthy, the offense will surge this fall.
2. Penn State -- All five starters return to a unit that mirrored Ohio State in both sacks allowed and rushing production last season. Shipley and guard Rich Ohrnberger solidify the interior line along with Stefen Wisniewski, who last year became the first true freshman offensive lineman to start at Penn State since 1999. Hopes are high for whip-smart left tackle Gerald Cadogan.
3. Wisconsin -- The Badgers lost no starters and feature All-Big Ten candidates throughout the line. So why isn't this unit rated higher? Wisconsin finished 91st nationally in sacks allowed with 33 last season, a number that must go down with a new starting quarterback. Four-year starter Kraig Urbik and Andy Kemp form the league's best guard tandem, and sophomore left tackle Gabe Carimi held his own last fall after succeeding Joe Thomas.
4. Illinois -- If not for two vacancies, the Illini would be higher on the list. They allowed just 16 sacks last fall, the second fewest in the league, and had the Big Ten's top rushing attack. All-conference candidates Ryan McDonald and Xavier Fulton return. If Ryan Palmer solidifies the right tackle spot, this group will have a big season.
5. Michigan State -- Replacing all-conference left tackle Pete Clifford became a priority this spring, and Michigan State filled the gap with talented junior Rocco Cironi. If Cironi can effectively protect Brian Hoyer's blind side, the interior line should be solid with returning starters Roland Martin and Joel Nitchman. Depth is a concern, and several incoming freshmen could help.
6. Purdue -- Health is the biggest question for Purdue after mainstay Sean Sester, Zach Jones and Zack Reckman missed spring practice with injuries. Head-coach-in-waiting Danny Hope needs all three returning starters at full strength in camp. The all-important center spot could feature an intriguing competition, as freshman Andrew Brewer joins the mix with Cory Benton and Jared Zwilling.
7. Iowa -- A veteran group could definitely climb the list, but after hemorrhaging for 46 sacks last fall, significant improvement is needed. Guard Seth Olsen anchors the line in his third season as a starter. Though several other full-time or part-time starters return, Olsen's spot appears to be the only safe one entering preseason camp.
8. Michigan -- Strength coach Mike Barwis will try to work his magic with a group that returns only one starter, right tackle Stephen Schilling. A lot hinges on junior Mark Ortmann, who succeeds Long at left tackle. If Ortmann steps in smoothly and David Moosman locks up the center spot, the Wolverines might be fine. Coach Rich Rodriguez needs linemen who can fit in his system, and if need be, he'll look to incoming freshmen like Ricky Barnum.
9. Indiana -- The left side looks strong with Rodger Saffold and Pete Saxon, but there are questions elsewhere. A lot is riding on a talented group of sophomore linemen that includes potential starters Alex Perry and Mike Stark. Sacks were a problem at times last season, and the Hoosiers must generate a stronger rushing attack outside of quarterback Kellen Lewis.
10. Minnesota -- Of all the Gophers' problems last season, the offensive line wasn't one of them. Minnesota allowed a league-low 13 sacks and ranked third in pass offense. But the departures of left tackle Steve Shidell and center Tony Brinkhaus raise questions up front. Hopes are high for sophomore left tackle Dominic Alford, but a young group must build chemistry.
11. Northwestern -- The Wildcats lost mainstays at both center and left tackle, and right tackle Kurt Mattes is the only returning starter who secured his job. A lot is riding on three young players -- freshman left tackle Al Netter, sophomore left guard Keegan Grant and freshman center Ben Burkett. If those three step up, a veteran group of skill players will put up points.
Big Ten players at media days
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
I meant to post this a few days ago, so my apologies. Here's the list of players each school is bringing to the Big Ten media days July 24-25 in Chicago.
Ryan McDonald*, Sr., OL
Brit Miller, Sr., LB
Juice Williams*, Jr., QB
Greg Brown, Sr., DT
Austin Starr*, Sr., K
Marcus Thigpen, Sr., RB
Mitch King*, Sr., DT
Matt Kroul*, Sr., DT
Seth Olsen*, Sr., OL
Tim Jamison*, Sr., DE
Mike Massey, Sr., TE
Morgan Trent*, Sr., CB
Michigan State
Brian Hoyer*, Sr., QB
Justin Kershaw, Sr., DT
Javon Ringer*, Sr., RB
Steve Davis, Sr., LB
Eric Decker, Jr., WR
Adam Weber, So., QB
C.J. Bachér*, Sr., QB
Eric Peterman, Sr., WR
Tyrell Sutton*, Sr., RB
Ohio State
Todd Boeckman*, Sr., QB
Malcolm Jenkins*, Sr., CB
James Laurinaitis*, Sr., LB
Penn State
Josh Gaines*, Sr., DE
A.Q. Shipley*, Sr., C
Derrick Williams, Sr., WR
Anthony Heygood*, Sr., LB
Greg Orton, Sr., WR
Curtis Painter*, Sr., QB
Travis Beckum*, Sr., TE
Jason Chapman, Sr., DT
Andy Kemp, Sr., G
* Indicates 2007 All-Big Ten selection
Most of the list is predictable and Ohio State can't bring the entire team, but there were a few surprises. I know schools like to feature their veteran players, but it would have been nice to have seen reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year Arrelious Benn in Chicago.
Other notable omissions include:
Indiana DE Greg Middleton, nation's sacks leader in 2007
Wisconsin RB P.J. Hill
Other guys I'd love to talk with:
Indiana QB Kellen Lewis
Iowa QB Jake Christensen
Michigan QB Steven Threet
Penn State QB Daryll Clark (sense a theme here?)
Ohio State LB Marcus Freeman
Ohio State T Alex Boone
Illinois CB Vontae Davis
Penn State WR Derrick Williams

Draft offers Steelers options to shore offensive line
TribLIVE Sports Videos
A sense of obligation drives Willie Colon, as the Steelers right tackle again works his way back from injury.
"In my heart of hearts, I feel like I'm in debt to my two coaches, (Mike) Tomlin and (offensive line coach Sean) Kugler, and I feel like I'm in debt to this team," said Colon, who missed last season after tearing his triceps in the first game and sat out 2010 because of a ruptured Achilles.
"My mindset right now is just getting back out on that field and trying to be a cowbell for that line and get things rolling."
The larger question for the Steelers -- even if Colon returns better than ever -- is how much they will address a perceived deficit on their offensive line.
Free agency started last week, but the Steelers, per their history and salary cap restrictions, are not expected to be players.
The draft in late April offers a more realistic option to upgrade a line that is often blamed when the offense sputters.
It also may be appealing for other reasons: The 2012 class is considered deep and talented at guard, and the Steelers' interior-line needs may only be rivaled by those at inside linebacker.
The team's top two guards in 2011 were undrafted free agents Ramon Foster and Doug Legursky, and the latter's best position may be center. The team recently released Chris Kemoeatu, who started 47 games at left guard.
The Steelers also have concerns at tackle, even though Colon's return allows them to move second-year man Marcus Gilbert from the right to the left side.
Max Starks, who started the final 13 games at left tackle last season, is an unrestricted free agent. Starks likely will remain unsigned until he works his way back from a torn ACL he sustained in January.
That leaves Jonathan Scott as the only other experienced tackle on the roster.
"They've got to continue to get younger and more athletic, protect the quarterback," NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said of the Steelers' offensive line. "I think that's first and foremost."
Is OL a high draft priority?
Since 2000, the year Kevin Colbert took charge of the player personnel department, the Steelers have taken just two offensive linemen with their top pick.
Colbert, however, bristles at the suggestion that the team has overlooked the offensive line by pointing out recent draft history.
The Steelers used their first pick in 2010 (No. 18 overall) on eventual All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey. They took Gilbert, like Pouncey from Florida, in the second round last year.
They also used a third-round pick in 2009 on Wisconsin guard Kraig Urbik.
Urbik lasted one season, though the Steelers made up for that mistake with Foster, who signed in 2009 and has made 29 starts at guard.
"No team has five first-rounders on the offensive line that I know of," said Colbert, the Steelers' general manager. "No team has five Pro Bowlers. It's always going to be a collection of different players."
Colbert can make a good argument why the Steelers shouldn't use their first-round pick this year (No. 24 overall) on an interior offensive linemen.
"Guard," he said, "it's deeper than it ever has been."
Analysts agree. Mayock said quality guards can be found through the first three rounds.
San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke, who helped rebuild the 49ers by drafting two linemen early in the same draft, also gives the offensive line class high marks.
"I think there's depth at the high end," said Baalke, who picked tackle Anthony Davis and guard Mike Iupati in the first round in 2010. "I think there's depth through the middle of it, and there's depth at the low end of it. It's a quality group."
In his latest mock draft, ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has the Steelers taking Alabama inside linebacker Dont'a Hightower with their first pick.
The Steelers have also been linked with Georgia offensive linemen Cordy Glenn in various mock drafts.
Glenn, a 6-foot-5 1⁄2, 345-pounder with nimble feet, excelled at left tackle in the SEC, and he could play guard or tackle in the NFL.
His versatility is something that would add to Glenn's appeal for the Steelers.
"If Glenn were there, he would be interesting to look at," Kiper said.
The health factor
Colon isn't pondering how the Steelers' draft will shake out -- or how it will impact the line.
A fourth-round pick in 2006, Colon has been around long enough that criticism of the offensive line makes him roll his eyes.
"I've heard it since I stepped through the door," Colon said. "I think we have gotten better."
Kugler has earned praise for drilling a physical mindset into his linemen. He also has developed a dynamic similar to what assistant head coach John Mitchell has long had with the defensive linemen: The players will do anything not to let him down.
The team, however, could do nothing to avoid injuries. The Steelers last season used 11 different starting line combinations.
"That's really the ultimate question: If we can keep at least five solid guys consistently out there, how good can this line get• We all know the talent we have in that room," Colon said. "It's about us staying healthy, no doubt, and secondly, it's about having enough time together where we can work together (as one) without thought."Additional Information:
Breaking it down

RB: 4 (Rashard Mendenhall, 2008)
OL: 8 (Maurkice Pouncey, 2010)
DL: 5 (Ziggy Hood, 2009; Cameron Heyward, 2011)

It is sort of strange how it seems as if we are all running out of time in a day and age where all sorts of inventions are supposed to be enriching our lives and making them more manageable. This goes double for women going to college in the UK. While they have cell phones, tablets, laptops, apps for appointments and apps to help them write better papers in class they still must grapple with increasing tuition costs and an increased need to work more hours than they are spending in school. Who has time to date anybody?
Even though these young women are not looking for romance even they get tired of their vibrators after a while. To find sex they are turning to adult dating sites like UpForIt.com. With online adult dating it is possible for them to find some quick sex and then get back to hitting the books.
You can find thousands of these UK coeds after you click here and set up your free account. When I created my own for the purposes of reviewing the site I was inundated with messages from hot babes looking for sex. Check it out and see how well they respond to you!
Ever since I was a kid I have had a thing for chicks with big tits. I sort of accidentally saw my sisters huge tits once and when I say sort of I mean I purposefully checked out her huge rack of juggs while she was in the shower. Ever since then I have gravitated towards full figured women with naturally large juggs. I want nothing to do with silicone boobs. They look like a science experiment gone wrong to me. Big fluffy natural ones on a chunky girl make my mind swim.
Do you feel the same way? If so you should check out BBW Hookup. It is a bbw dating site with all kinds of freebies and perks to help you get laid and score with big beautiful women. What's more, you can even chat live with girls so you don't even need to have physical contact with chicks to cyber with them online.
To create your account you will need a valid Email address and it is best to upload a profile photo so the ladies can see what you look like. Don't make it a sexy selfie though. Those only work for the ladies. Guys should stick to cute puppy kissing photos or natural pictures of you having a good time. Once your profile is online you never know how much you are going to get laid!
Is there any part of this babes body that doesn't have something done to it? I think the only spot left is her ass and, well, you have probably already come up with eighteen things you would like to do to it before the sun goes down. ErikaXstacy has that kind of effect on people when they see her. Even guys that aren't into alt girls find her pierced nipples and juicy ass too much to pass up.
Working on the BestBigTitCams.com network allows Erika to divide her time between making money to support herself in porn and doing what she really loves, masturbating and entertaining guys on a more personal level with webcam performances that leave you without an ounce of cum left.
You could possibly find a huge tits babe at the bar, but then why go through all of the hassle when there are thousands of large boob camgirls on www.bestbigtitcams.com?
With so many new adult dating sites opening in the UK the folks at IWantU.com have upped their game yet again. Now you can do things like have live chat sex with busty babes all over the UK. Plus, you can send SMS messages, send girls selfies and receive them and a whole lot more.
With these new pieces to the online dating puzzle you will have no problem finding girls that are the perfect fit for you. With millions of profiles in the system there are almost always hundreds, if not thousands, of girls in your area looking to sex chat.
It won't happen, though, unless you make your online profile. The sooner the better. You don't even have to wait until you get home. You can begin right on your mobile phone!
For most of the world there is XVideos and their throw mud at the wall and see what sticks approach to finding quality porn. That method has nothing to do with quality if you ask me. I am more into erotic babes pics and sexy busty blonde videos. I don't like having shemales, two girls and one cup and other nonsense videos sitting right next to the stuff I really want to watch. If you are anything like me you will want to give GirlSoftcore a try.
All of the erotic nude galleries are hand picked. They find sexy content and leave the underperforming stuff to the birds. This also goes for their erotic nude video tube section. Again, all picked by hand. Everything is fresh off of the vine.
While many sites out there will give you free porn only a select few will save you time as well. Since time is money my money is on you bookmarking Girlsoftcore.com for all of your sensual porn needs!
We all need a pleasure palace. As a kid it could be the shower or our bed and a sock. As adults it should be somebody that is flesh and blood. Somebody like SallyMoore from WebCamClub.com. A woman that has plenty to offer and then some. A girl who can laugh at herself and isn't afraid to take risks. SallyMoore promises to be your personal pleasure palace during each and every private show. A girlfriend when you need her to be. A wrecking ball when you want to get rough.
There are many different kinds of webcam girls on Web Cam Club. You can sort them by their shapes, hair color, breast sizes, ethnicities and more. You can even find babes that are professionals in the art of erotic smoking.
Getting in and checking out the photos of the babes is fast. You just need a valid Email address. With a verified account it is possible to watch Goal Shows where chicks often get naked for free and chat live with them. You can also fun the account and tip girls in gold shows $3 or so to see the whole shebang.
Stop over paying for cams. Webcamclub.com offers up Live Cam babes for free!
Lately there has been a move with some of the better tubes where they try to get you to buy premium memberships to watch higher quality videos. You don't have to put up with that kind of shit on XXX Limit. They don't have anywhere to buy a password because their tube is completely free to use. You can stream harlot slut videos online without a password.
What kind of quality do they have? Simply the best. With tubes like PornIcon.com adding their videos to the porno vault on XXX Limit you can see videos in crystal clear HD. Even if you are using a cell phone to watch them.
There are way too many tubes and categories for me to list them all, but I can say you should expect nothing but the best from sites like 4Tube and even NuVid. The categories read like a what is what of porn. They leave nothing out. This place has no limits when it comes to porn!
Bookmark http://www.xxxlimit.com/ for the world's largest collection of hardcore porn. You can find both production quality stuff to watch and amateur XXX videos shot by average Joes like you. Tell the buddies at the office. You have the free hookup!
When this sexy MILF got a divorce from her cheating husband she received some help form her daughter on how to find guys to fuck. Having been out of the dating market for a few decades she was all ears on anything her daughter could provide her with. The first order of business was to join the CheatingHousewife.com dating site.
Her mother wasn't too keen on joining a site that made her sound like a slut. She wasn't even married so why would she be on a cheating website. Her daughter assured her it would work out better. Guys prefer cheating sluts to proper women looking for a new marriage.
To help her land some studs her daughter loaned her some sexy undies. By then the mom's panties were all high hip in the nude color. Not really big on getting guys hard up for her. She also let her barrow her phone to snap this sexy MILF selfie for her profile.
With everything in place it didn't take long for guys to come knocking at her door. The mom was pulling trains with her daughter on some nights when several guys showed up at once.
Cheating Housewife makes the date housewife scene a breeze!
These ladies are the hottest ladies in the world. But then they don't have to be to be a good fuckbuddy. All they have to be is fuckable and plenty of fun. Judging from the smiles I'd say these girls are a barrel of fun and then some. Any guy with a pulse would have fun with the juggs on the girl in the red bikini!
It doesn't matter if you are working in Dubai in the Middle East. The Fuck Buddy 101 sex dating site will show you how and where to get laid. Their adult dating methods are proven to work and have been connecting millions of people worldwide for over a decade.
With links to multiple sites like Friend Finder they will increase your ability to get laid four-fold. You can and should signup to each of the networks they discuss in order to take advantage of each networks database of women.
TIP: Don't sit on the sidelines dating and contacting only the girls their software thinks will be a match for you. Instead you should scan profiles on your own looking for the hidden gems the system cannot compute. You will find a lot more pussy that way!
Finding escorts with big juggs can be a problem if you have your heart set of a certain girl, but fail to make prearranged plans to book her for the evening. That won't happen with ExtraKlasse-Escort.com because they have dozens of girls to choose from with big boobs. Take a look at some of the hotties above. Any one of them would rock your world!
We all have our own reasons for visiting the beautiful capitol city of Austria. For some of us it is tied to doing business and for others it is pure pleasure. Either way you will find that an ExtraKlasse escort by your side will make you feel incredibly excited.

Years ago, Reno veteran Larry Kobbe decided the best way to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11 was to volunteer in their honor. As he told us, "I see a lot of the sacrifices people made out there, and I'd like to make a little of my own, a very small part."
It didn't look small to us. Larry spent the entire day lugging around cartons of food at the Reno Salvation Army's "food box room" on Sutro Street. With the shirt he's been wearing on this day for the last 10 years which reads "Remember Our Fallen, September 11, 2001", Larry gave his time where it's really needed. He modestly told us, "I'm here just to help out. Loretta does all the thinking. I do a lot of the muscle work."
Loretta Blankenship is putting in a full day's work for no pay too. She lost a friend on 9/11. She told us, "Because he gave up a lot in New York, and you know this is my special way of remembering him."
Larry and Loretta both volunteer many days at the Salvation Army. For those who depend on the food they were organizing, it's a major contribution. Major Michael Zielinski looked at the job they were doing and told us, "To put together the material that we need to help the people who come to our door, we can't do without them. No, not at all."
But from our phone calls to other charities today, we found a very light turnout for this National Day of Service. Part of the reason may be that it falls mid-week this time, when it's difficult for people to get out of work and school. Major Zielinski says besides the corporate drives and employee service days, "Most businesses now are trying to keep their people involved in the business during the week."
But people do have time to give blood. At Reno's United Blood Services on Terminal Way, the place was packed for their "Heroes Remembered" day. 9/11 has become the largest donation day of the year for that particular location. Donor Recruitment Director Steven Thomas told us, "We're expecting twice as many donations today as normal."
Reclining in a donation chair as a bag hanging nearby was filling with her blood, Terri Powning told us she drove all the way from Verdi to donate...one of many who had 9-11 in their minds and hearts. As she put it, "Just remembering that day and how it affected everybody, being such a sad occasion, you know you do what you can."
To everyone we spoke with on this "National Day of Service," 9/11 will always be a somber day. But as UBS's Thomas told us, "I also think that everyone needs to remember the heroes of 9/11 as well." And that what the volunteers we met were thinking of this day.

Message to Anwar Ibrahim and Cohorts
PKR, doing a fine job of crushing dreams
After pledging to effect political reform, all PKR has succeeded in doing in Selangor is plunge it into chaos, making it the laughing stock of the nation.
"Many voters today concede that their vote for PKR was a mistake as they have been forced to put up with a 'comedy of errors' literally, with the operative word here being 'errors', in the last one year."-Fernandez.
Dear PKR leaders,
What happened to Ubah sebelum Parah?
I am a Selangor resident who unashamedly and proudly voted for PKR in the last two general elections.I voted for reforms, a better Selangor and a "new Malaysia" after being sick and tired of the UMNO brand of politics.
Today after six years, my fellow voters in Selangor will agree that many of us are disillusioned with the state of affairs both in Selangor and within PKR. The party's many instances of infighting, the practice of nepotism, the abuse of power among their power crazy leaders and the sheer lack of strategy and direction have left many voters wondering what happened to their dream of change that was promised.
The Kajang Move was an excellent example of a poorly thought through strategy. It was doomed to fail from the start. This is a typical case of a blind "de facto leader" who only seems to be promoting his personal interests while indulging in self-glorification (He only wants to be the Prime Minister of Malaysia).
Whilst the prudent financial management of the state's coffers is commendable, the irony is that the Menteri Besar has failed to address basic issues that matter most to voters. Poor rubbish collection, water shortages, increases in the cost of living, poor public transportation, clogged drains and filthy eateries are just some of the issues voters face on a daily basis.
Many voters today concede that their vote for PKR was a mistake as they have been forced to put up with a 'comedy of errors' literally, with the operative word here being 'errors', in the last one year.
The writing on the wall is clear.
Unless PKR has the political will to reform itself and address critical issues affecting the daily lives of the people of Selangor, it can rest assured it will not retain power in Selangor in the next elections. This would be extremely sad as many of us in the state had places our hopes on CHANGE-UBAH.
Let me conclude with a thought-provoking quote from President Abraham Lincoln that should serve as a reminder to our leaders from both sides of the political divide." You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."

The Department of Public Safety warned people coming to Western Carolina University for commencement ceremonies on May 10 to expect traffic delays.
The department also said construction on I-40, I-23 and I-74 will create additional challenges for those traveling to both the Asheville and Waynesville campuses. University officials urged guests coming for Saturday's ceremonies to arrive one hour before the events begin. They also said on-campus shuttles will be available for guests.

*The world renowned ALIWAL SHOAL is directly offshore and is famous for diving and shark viewing. The shoal consists of spectacular hard and soft corals and diverse tropical and subtropical fish. It is considered a "hub" for scuba divers around the world.
*Clansthal has its very own lighthouse - otherwise known as the Greenpoint lighthouse - erected to warn ships of the presence of the Aliwal shoal.

"the place is a perfect spot."
Just a little renovations towards the furnisher, swimming pool light, etc.. I don't think there can be any reduction to the lizards (even though were part of fun). add some of kitchen utensils. other than that, thumbs up!

"Stunning location about 45 minutes from Durban and a stones throw from the beach."
What a beach it is too - big, clean and quiet enough to feel it's your own, but enough people around to feel safe. For surfing and restaurants there's Scottsburgh beach 5 mins drive away. The villa is very comfortable and well laid out, living room opening out to the pool and bbq area....purpose built bbq is about as good as it gets, it even has its own thatched roof! Large bedrooms that are well spaced out with some on the ground floor, ideal for older guests. Plenty of activities nearby, including countless golf courses and a crocodile farm, enough to keep all ages entertained. Would definitely go back if we went to Durban again.

Egypt Topics
Democracy Now!'s coverage of the Egyptian revolution and an archive of our past coverage of issues and topics relevant to Egypt.
As Egypt sets a date for ousted President Mohamed Morsi to stand trial for inciting the murder of protesters and the Muslim Brotherhood calls for mass demonstrations, we speak with two people who witnessed one of the bloodiest massacres of Morsi supporters by Egyptian state forces. Acclaimed Toronto filmmaker John Greyson and emergency room medical doctor Tarek Loubani were in Cairo on August 16, en route to a humanitarian mission in Gaza, when...Nov 01, 2013 | Story
The United States recently announced plans to scale back aid to Egypt's military government three months after the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi. Last week, the State Department said the United States will withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in military assistance until "credible progress" is made toward "an inclusive, democratically elected civilian government." But a new investigation from Al Jazeera's...Oct 18, 2013 | Story
The White House has announced it will suspend some of its $1.5 billion in annual military aid to Egypt until the country ushers in a democratic government. Reuters reports that some of the items to be withheld include Abrams tanks, F-16 aircraft, Apache helicopters and Harpoon missiles. The United States has avoided the automatic suspension of all military aid to Egypt by refusing to deem Mohamed Morsi's ouster a coup. Hundreds of Morsi...Oct 10, 2013 | Story
Two Canadian citizens — acclaimed Toronto filmmaker John Greyson and medical doctor Tarek Loubani — have been jailed for more than a month and a half in Egypt without charge after witnessing a massacre by state forces on August 16 in Cairo. The two were traveling through Egypt en route to visit Gaza, where Greyson was to film Loubani as he trained emergency room doctors. In a statement smuggled out of their prison cell, Greyson and...Oct 02, 2013 | Story
Mass violence continues in Egypt amidst the bloodiest period in the country's modern history. Around 900 people have been killed since state forces attacked Muslim Brotherhood protest encampments five days ago. At least 173 people were killed in a "Day of Rage" protest called by the Brotherhood on Friday, followed by at least 79 deaths on Saturday. Around 90 police officers and soldiers have died in the violence, but Islamist supporters...Aug 19, 2013 | Story
As reports emerge that former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak could be released this week, we speak to the acclaimed Egyptian writer Ahdaf Soueif. A prominent backer of the 2011 Tahrir Square, Soueif reflects on the state of the revolution and the growing divide in Egypt. "One of most depressing things that we've seen has been how a strand of what was the revolution, and what was either progressive or liberal, has so completely backed,...Aug 19, 2013 | Story
Members of the Muslim Brotherhood have called for a nationwide Day of Rage today after Wednesday's security crackdown left at least 638 people dead and 3,000 people injured. The violence on Wednesday began when security forces raided two protest camps in Cairo set up to denounce the military overthrow of Egypt's first freely elected president, Mohamed Morsi. Today's protest marches began after Friday prayers at 28 mosques in...Aug 16, 2013 | Story
On Thursday, President Obama condemned the Egyptian military's deadly crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood and announced the cancellation of military exercises with Egypt next month. But Obama stopped short of cutting off the $1.55 billion a year of mostly military U.S. aid to Egypt and continued to avoid describing the ouster of Mohamed Morsi as a coup. We get response from P.J. Crowley, who served under Obama as the State Department's...Aug 16, 2013 | Story
At least 525 people were killed in Egypt on Wednesday when security forces cracked down on two protest camps filled with supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi. The Muslim Brotherhood says the actual death toll tops 2,000, and has called new rallies for today. The Egyptian military has defended the crackdown and declared a state of emergency. We're joined by three guests: in Cairo, Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous,...Aug 15, 2013 | Story

Funeral for Welsh Guardsman killed in Afghanistan
The funeral has taken place in Cardigan for a Welsh soldier killed in Afghanistan.
Lance Corporal Lee Davies, 27, from the 1st Batallion Welsh Guards and another British soldier died after they were shot by two men dressed in Afghan police uniforms.
Lance Corporal Davies was the 26th Welsh soldier to die in Afghanistan since operations began there in 2001.
The Ministry of Defence said the two servicemen had been providing security near a base in the Lashkar Gah district. An MoD investigation into their deaths is now underway.
– Charlotte Drew, Lee's partner
Lee was my life, my world, my future, my everything. I will never forget him. I am very proud of what he had achieved in such a sort time. He gave his life to protect others and loved his job. We had a very happy future ahead of us that looked so bright. We had a very happy six years together that I will never forget. Also, my heart and thoughts go out to all the families who have suffered loss and for the ones who are serving our country. I'll miss him very much. God bless.
Lance Corporal Davies was born in Carmarthen and joined the army in April 2009, moving into the Welsh Guards in April 2010. He arrived in Afghanistan in March as part of a Police Advisory Team.
Army colleagues who knew him as 'Twent' said he stood out as a natural leader, quickly being promoted to Lance Corporal.
– Lieutenant Colonel Dino Bossi, Commanding Officer, Police Mentoring and Advisory Group, 1st Battalion Welsh Guards
Lance Corporal Lee Davies loved being a soldier - it was who he was. To have made such a profound impact so early in his Army career speaks volumes about the quality of the man we have lost.

69 News Child Safety Seat Check helps keep youngsters safe
Installing a child's car seat can cause plenty of parental frustration. And many times after tussling with tethers and confusing latches it's done incorrectly. 69 News teamed up with State Police Saturday to make sure your child is buckled up properly.
Installing car seats can sometimes be tough. It's a serious concern.
"Unfortunately 9 out of 10 car seats are put in incorrectly," said Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Marc Allen. "There are several different components to a car seat, it has to match the actual car and the child, so if all the things don't add up together it makes it unsafe."
Parents make some common mistakes when installing them so 69 News wanted to help out. We teamed up with troopers to make sure your kids were strapped in right. 64 cars turned out to the event, 84% didn't have the car seats put in right.
"Basically what they told us was that the car seats that they were in they should be switched," said Rob Vitaro.
"It wasn't installed incorrectly," shared Mark Higgins. "It was just a little bit loose which was kind of good."
For four hours Saturday Troopers checked seat after seat. Families drove away safe and with useful information. Parent's make some common mistakes when installing car seats.
"They usually don't switch the retractor to locking, so it's free flowing and it doesn't make it tight," said Allen. "They also forget to tighten up the harness that keeps the baby in."
He says parent's should read the seat instructions and compare it to the vehicle's manual. Also check the expiration date, car seats are only reliable for six years.
"Everything the trooper showed me I know for next time and I can fix it myself," smiled Tim Gilbert.
And know the car seat's history. After one crash it should be replaced. Also experts do not recommend buying used car seats.
"You can't take your children's safety too lightly," urged Vitaro. "So if you're unsure you should get somebody who really knows what they're doing to make sure it's in right."
Families at the event also had the chance to get child ID's. The Lehigh Valley Community Resource Center was on hand to collect all the vital information and put it digitally onto a CD.
"Now a days you never know," said Diana Soler. "So we thought it was important if something happens at least they know his identification."
