Acting Potential of Gossip Girl Stars
Which Gossip Girl Star Has the Most Acting Potential?
It's crazy to think that many stars of teen dramas from my youth are now successful — even award nominated! — Hollywood actors. Take Dawson's Creek, for example. I'm not sure I would have guessed back then that Michelle Williams would grow up to be as respected an actress as she's become, Oscar nod and all. In fact, a lot of Dawson's alumni are doing pretty well for themselves these days (Katie's on Broadway, Joshua Jackson stars in Fringe . . . James Van Der Beek could use a job, though).
This got me thinking about one of today's hottest teen shows, Gossip Girl, and what will happen to its stars a few years down the line. If you had to pick one, which star do you think has the most potential to transition into a successful adult acting career?

LEVITTOWN, N.Y. (AP) - An animated version of a doodle created by an 11-year-old Long Island girl is featured on Google's homepage.
Audrey Zhang is the national 2014 Doodle 4 Google contest.
The drawing went live on Google's site at midnight Sunday and will remain there through Monday.
The fifth grader told Newsday she was excited to see her work brought to life.
She attended an awards ceremony in Mountain View, California last month.
Her drawing is titled "Back to Mother Nature." It features a mythical, winged water purification machine.
Doodle 4 Google program manager Liat Ben Rafael says a doodle team of animators got it ready for its homepage debut.
In Audrey's name, Google is donating $20,000 to a charity that brings clean water and latrines to schools in Bangladesh.

Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - Patrick Sharp netted two goals as the Chicago Blackhawks skated past the Columbus Blue Jackets, 5-1, at Nationwide Arena on Tuesday.
Andrew Shaw and Marian Hossa each had a goal and an assist and Brent Seabrook also scored for the Blackhawks, who have won four straight. Corey Crawford made 24 saves and Duncan Keith added four assists for the victors.
With the win, the Blackhawks moved to within two points of Detroit for fifth place in the Western Conference.
"We got some fortunate bounces around their net early," Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville said. "I thought we did some good things and it was nice to see our power play contribute."
Rick Nash scored the lone goal for the Blue Jackets, who have lost five of their last six games. Steve Mason was torched for all five tallies on 27 shots in defeat.
Chicago opened the scoring 4:12 into the first period with a little luck after Bryan Bickell worked his way through traffic and around behind the net to the right circle. Bickell threw it in front and it hit the shin pad of Shaw and deflected past Mason.
The Blackhawks made it 2-0 just over two minutes later when Sharp got a pass to the left of the net below the goal line from Viktor Stalberg, and beat Mason to the short side from a seemingly impossible angle.
Chicago struck again at 8:22 to make it 3-0 after Keith walked into a wicked slap shot from the left circle that was kicked out by Mason. The rebound came all the way out to Seabrook at the right point and he threw a soft wrist shot on net that fooled the Columbus netminder and found its way home.
After a scoreless second period, the Blackhawks made it 4-0 just 37 seconds into the final period.
Skating on the power play, Patrick Kane wound the puck around the boards for Keith at the left point. Keith quickly dished to Sharp, who then sent it to the right wing half-wall for Hossa before getting it back and blasting it past Mason from the slot.
Hossa added a second power-play goal for the Blackhawks at 4:09 of the third period after he got a perfect feed from Shaw and ripped it home from in close to make it 5-0.
Columbus finally got on the board at 12:31 after Jack Johnson let a shot go from the right point that was deflected past Crawford by Nash, but the Jackets would not get any closer.
"They can score often and quickly," Blue Jackets interim head coach Todd Richards said. "I didn't think we were outplayed that badly in the first period, but we were looking up at a 3-0 game. Our guys fought through it and tried, but when you spot a team a three-goal lead, especially the Chicago Blackhawks, it's tough."

Isabella Valancy Crawford
In Exchange For His Soul!
Long time one whisper'd in his ear--
'Give me my strong, pure soul; behold
'Tis mine to give what men hold dear--
The treasure of red gold.'
'I bribe thee not with crown and throne,
Pale spectres they of kingly pow'r!
I give thee gold--red gold alone
Can crown a king each hour!'
He frown'd, perchance he felt a throe,
Gold-hunger gnawing at his heart--
A passing pang--for, stern and low,
He bade the fiend depart!
Again there came the voice and said:
'Gold for that soul of thine were shame;
Thine be that thing for which have bled
Both Gods and men,--high Fame.
'And in long ages yet to sweep
Their gloom and glory on the day;
When mould'ring kings, forgot, shall sleep
In ashes, dust, and clay:
'Thy name shall, starlike, pulse and burn
On heights most Godlike; and divine,
Immortal bays thy funereal urn
Shall lastingly entwine!'
He sigh'd; perchance he felt the thrill,
The answ'ring pulse to Fame's high call;
But answer made his steadfast will--
'I will not be thy thrall!'
Again there came the voice and cried:
'Dost thou my kingly bribes disdain?
Yet shalt thou barter soul and pride
For things ignobly vain!
'Two shameless eyes--two false, sweet eyes--
A sinful brow of sinless white,
Shall hurl, thy soul from high clear skies
To ME, and Stygian night.
'Beneath the spell of gilded hair,
Thy palms, like sickly weeds, shall die!
God-strong Resolves, a sensuous air
Shall mock and crucify.
'Go to! my thrall at last thou art!
Ere bud to rounded blossom change;
Thou wilt for wanton lips and heart
Most false, thy soul exchange!'

The Melvins with Trevor Dunn (Melvins Lite): Live @ The Ottobar, 10/7/2012, (Part 1)
Show 33 of 51. The following testimonial on this temporary new outfit referring to its damn self as "Melvins Lite" comes courtesy of Ipecac.com (and given the wording, it was likely typed out by a certain member of the band): "In this configuration, Buzzo and Dale or joined by none other then Trevvy Dunn (Fantômas, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, MadlLove, Trio Convulsant, etc.) on upright bass. But be sure, this ain't no hipster jazz outing for the legendary Melvins, just another obtuse chapter in the redefining of music as we know it. The hair might not be as big but the sound will still eat you! "Oh and the hardest working band ever has plenty in store to support "Freak Puke". Beginning Sept 5th the Melvins will make an attempt at history by playing 51 shows in all 50 states in the United States and 1 in DC in just 51 days!!!!!! Never been done... til now! See it up close, be part of it!" -- Shot by Tom Kessler

Burger Lambrechts
|Burger Lambrechts
Lambrechts at the 2012 World Indoor Championships.
|Burger Lambrechts
3 April 1973
Phalaborwa, South Africa
|Alma mater
|University of Pretoria
Burger Lambrechts (born 3 April 1973 in Phalaborwa) is a South African shot putter.
He attended Laerskool Nelspruit, where he was head-boy in 1986 and Hoërskool Waterkloof, where he was vice head-boy in 1991. As far as tertiary education is concerned, Lambrechts attained a BSC (Genetics) from the University of Pretoria in 1995 and a BA ("Biology") from Western Michigan University in 1996.
His international career started with a fifteenth place at the 1992 World Junior Championships. The following year he took his first national shot put title.[1] In 1994 he threw past the 19 metre mark for the first time, with 19.06 metres achieved in April in his birth city. At his first World Championships, in 1997, he reached the final and placed tenth. He only managed one valid throw.[2] In 1998 he won the gold medal at the African Championships with a throw of 19.78 metres. This was the best winning result since 1982, when Youssef Nagui Asaad threw 20.44 metres.[3] In the same year he threw 20.01 metres when winning the Commonwealth Games held in Kuala Lumpur,[4] and 20.29 metres in Johannesburg in September. Rarely competing in other athletics events, Lambrechts did throw 53.68 metres with the hammer (1996) and 58.60 with the discus (October 1998).
The following year Lambrechts led a South African clean sweep in the shot put at the All-Africa Games while fellow South Africans (Frantz Kruger, Chris Harmse and Marius Corbett) won the other three throwing events for men. Throwing 19.50 metres, this time Lambrechts beat the championship record of Youssef Nagui Asaad, which had stood at 19.48 since 1973.[5] He finished ninth at the World Championships the same year, once again with only one valid throw in the final round.[6] At the 2000 Summer Olympic Lambrechts failed to reach the final for the first time in a worldwide event. He reportedly suffered a calf injury during the competition, but still managed to achieve a distance of 19.75 meter, with which he fell just 4 centimetres short of the place in the final, which ironically went to his compatriot Janus Robberts, though Canada's Bradley Snyder was even closer with 19.77 metres.[7]
In February 2001 Lambrechts established a new South African record with 20.90 metres in Port Elizabeth. After 2001 Lambrechts didn't compete for two years, but returned to win the gold medal at the 2003 All-Africa Games, retaining the title he won four years earlier, and the silver medal at the African Championships in July 2004. The same month he achieved a lifetime best throw of 20.63 metres in Pretoria, which ranks him second in Africa behind fellow South African Janus Robberts.[8] A month later he entered the 2004 Summer Olympics. Managing only 18.67 metres, he placed fourth from the bottom.[9] He has not competed internationally since.
In 2007, at a bodyweight of 135 kg, Lambrechts became the heaviest person ever to successfully complete[10] the 250 kilometer Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon, an event billed as the toughest footrace in the world.
In 2008 the University of Pretoria inducted Lambrechts into their Hall of Fame.[11]
In 2010 Lambrechts made a return to athletics after an absence of five years and, at the age of 37, won the African Championships for the second time. His season's best performance in the shot put was 19,26 meters and in the discus 52,10 meters. He then also represented the African continent at the IAAF Continental Cup (previously known as the IAAF World Cup), where he ended 6'th. In doing so he set a new record for the longest span of appearances at the World Cup, namely 16 years (his first appearance was at the 1994 World Cup in London). The record was previously held by Tessa Sanderson, who achieved a span of 15 years between her first and last appearance.
In 2012 Lambrechts set a distance of 20.12m in the shot put in February, thereby qualifying for the World Indoor Championships and the Olympic Games (B standard). He competed at the World Indoor Championships in Istanbul, Turkey, but injured his middle finger the day before the competition in training (he fell on his hand and chipped the bone), causing him to only reach 18.96m and end 17'th. He was the oldest person ever to compete in the men's Shot Put event at the World Indoor Championships. The South African Olympic Committee (SASCOC) didn't select Lambrechts to go to the Olympic Games, where he would have been ranked 21'st out of 41 competitors before the competition.
During the early stages of 2013 Lambrechts suffered from a foot injury, preventing him from entering any competitions, but in August he competed in the World Highland Games in Glasgow, Scotland. He won the title of World Stone Put Champion by putting a 10kg stone 14.92m and a 7.26kg stone 18.42m off a grass surface. he ended 5'th in the overall Highland Championships.
Doping case[edit]
From 2001 to 2003, he was disqualified from competition for the use of a banned substance, stanozolol.[12]

Over the course of his career, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has endured criticism for committing eye pokes during his fights.

Conglomerates Sector
Definition of 'Conglomerates Sector'
A category of stocks of large corporations with diverse and often unrelated business units. Conglomerates are sometimes referred to as multi-industry companies which are involved in a variety of business functions simultaneously.
Investopedia explains 'Conglomerates Sector'
Though comprised of diversified companies, the conglomerates sector closely follows the performance of the S&P 500 index. Conglomerates as a business type are less popular now than they were in the 1960s, mostly because large companies have difficulty managing unrelated business units effectively.

Pulley starter generator
12 volt Delco starter generator. How do you remove the belt pulley? Is the pulley threaded to the shaft?
Soaking with solvent and a gear puller doesn't work.
Take the nut off the shaft and the pulley should pull off. I have taken them off by hand. Most are keyed to the shaft. You said "solvent" doesn't work, if it is stuck/rusted use a good penetrant like PB Blaster or Kroil, give it time to work and it should come off.
Pulley starter generator
Thanks Paul.
Just double checked. There is a key way in the pulley. It looks like the pulley has been staked to the shaft at some time. As I said before, I tried the gear puller and holding the pulley and rapping on the nut - nothing.
I'm currently soaking it with solvent. If things don't loosen up in a couple of days I'll put starter/generator front cover in the arbor press - something will give.
Thanks again.
If your generator is like mine the bearing on the front plate is held in by a (rather flimsy) sheet metal cover. be careful or you will destroy it.
The pulley has a key and the shaft is tapered at the back of the pulley, perhaps you could carefully file around the end of the pulley at the shaft to remove the burrs.
Good luck!

EDMOND — At least three eagles were spotted on the first morning of the three-day eagle watch at Arcadia Lake.
Eagles spotted at Oklahoma's Arcadia Lake on Friday
About 30 people had turned out by early afternoon Friday to look for eagles and other fowl flying around the Edmond lake.
The annual eagle watch is from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through Sunday.
Admission to the lake is half price, $3 per vehicle, during the three days, said Nicole Offutt, lake recreation specialist.
Participants are asked to go by the lake park office to get maps of the lake and information about where the eagles have been seen.
Spotters will help participants locate the eagles.
Videos, a mounted eagle and a raptor wingspan display will be available for guests.
Information about other birds frequently seen at the lake also will be available.
If someone can't make it to the lake this weekend, Offutt said, they can come by the park office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to see if eagles have been seen around the lake.
A telescope will be set up if eagles have been seen that day, Offutt said.
Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots.
They should bring rain gear, warm clothes that can be layered, binoculars, earmuffs and warm headwear, gloves and a camera.
The lake park office is about three miles east of Interstate 35 on Second Street.
For more information, call 216-7471.

We start with what (unfortunately) have come to be known as the "undercard" titles: The United States title and the Intercontinental title.
1. The US Title
As with most of the current WWE championships the US title has a lot of history behind it. My personal recollections date back to WCW when Bret Hart and Sting feuded over the gold in 1999 – something that forever cemented Hart as a heel in my mind which goes to show the potential of the belt if promoted correctly. While still a championship title, and thus worthy of respect, the US title has never had the prestige of its fellow minor belt, the Intercontinental Title. Go back even further and names like Harley Race, Terry Funk, Eddie Guerrero, and Steve Austin help to tell the tale behind the gold.
How is it used these days?
As the male singles title with the lowest perceived level of importance, the US title is usually used to help build up younger talent to champion level. How many times have we seen a hot talent capture it as their first title with the implication that it will build to greater things in the future? Look at the US title reigns of Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, and John Cena. This helped to catapult them up the ranks and allowed the backstage powers to see how each superstar looked carrying some gold around their waist. Does it always work out? Of course it doesn't, as evidenced by the likes of Zack Ryder, R-Truth, and Orlando Jordan. No disrespect to any of these men but sometimes the US title is as high as you can punch comfortably. Now this leaves you with a gray area in between the two poles: those who have won it, have yet to win anything else, but we still expect greatness from. The perfect example is the Swiss Superman, Antonio Cesaro. I could rave endlessly about this talented gentleman but I'll save it for a later blog post.
The Current Champion: Dean Ambrose
Dean Ambrose debuted as part of The Shield stable at Survivor Series last year and has been running roughshod over everyone who stands in their way. As much of a fan as I am of Reigns and Rollins (easily two of the brightest young stars in the company), in terms of a 'complete package' singles performer Ambrose leaves them both in the dust. Since the other two lost their tag titles, he can now claim to be the MVP in the proverbial shark tank. It is not hard to see why the likes of CM Punk and William Regal – both highly respected in their own right - are so high on him. The powers-that-be even deemed Ambrose to be worthy of a rare singles match against The Undertaker in April this year. I can hardly think of a greater rub for someone who had only been on TV for six months at that point than facing the Phenom (even if it was on Smackdown instead of a PPV). Now that Ambrose is properly built up to be a threat I can see him losing the title sometime before Wrestlemania to give another up-and-comer the boost they deserve.
Future Champions
When I think of future stars to capture the US title a number of names come to mind. Somebody like Fandango could potentially fit the bill but it would almost feel like a step down from the work Ambrose has done to keep the title alive and relevant (sorry Johnny, I'm a big fan but this gold is not for you – at least not for a while yet). Bray Wyatt is also a possibility but I think he should be setting his sights much higher. Therefore I think the best next US Champion is none other than Big E "I need 5" Langston. This guy has all the tools he needs for success. He has the look that the company adores. He has an explosive set off offense that makes him look like a credible threat in the ring and is deceptively charismatic out of it. If you believe the rumours, he has the backing of some influential persons backstage. All of this and he is only 27 years old. If you doubt for a second that Langston could be your future United States champion just go back and re-watch his match against Dean Ambrose at Hell In A Cell. Even though he failed to...

Rioforte, The Journal notes, "holds assets ranging from real estate and hotels in Portugal and Brazil to a 49% stake in Espirito Santo Financial, which holds 20% of Banco Espirito Santo."
Rioforte's creditor protection, which it filed for in Luxembourg, would allow it to sell assets and take steps to raise funds without creditor interference.
Recall that last week, world markets were roiled after Banco Espirito Santo's parent company, Espirito Santo Financial, missed debt payments to "a few clients." Following this news, markets were concerned regarding potential contagion effects of this instability in the Portuguese financial market.
The Journal's report also says that Espirito Santo International, "was found to be in serious financial condition following an audit by Portugal's central bank."
During today's trading session in Lisbon, shares of Banco Espirito fell 14%.
These two charts give an outline of Espirito Santo Financial's banking and insurance unit structures, which is what Rioforte holds a 49% stake in. It's complicated.

Georgia Tech Swarm
Post-Scrimmage Interview with Pat Gamble #91 Defensive Tackle
Q: So how are things going year 1 to year 2 with Coach Roof and Coach Pelton?
A: It's going good. We're getting better. We've learned the system now like the back of our hand. That's always good to go out there and play fast.
Q: There's a lot of conversation about the defensive line this year, especially with all of the offseason departures due to graduation, Jerry going to the NFL, and all those guys in camp. What do you expect out of your own personal performance and that of the defensive line this year?
A: I expect to go out there and give 110% and play every down like it's my last. With losing all those players it's time for somebody else to step up. It could be anybody on the D-Line. When a star leaves another star is born. We're doing good, we're progressing, and we're getting better every day. We're going out there working hard with Coach Pelton. All we've got to do is stay focused and get ready for the season.
Q: Is there much difference for you on the line in the 4-2-5 vs. the 4-3 or is it pretty much the same scheme?
A: It's pretty much the same. There isn't really too much difference for a defensive lineman in that scheme. There isn't much more to it than taking a line[man] out.
Q: Francis just mentioned you're getting a little more aggressive and a little more up-tempo this year. Is there anything schematically that you all are doing differently or is it just more familiarity with the scheme in general?
A: We're just got familiar with the scheme. When you're familiar with the scheme you can just go out there and play fast. If you're not familiar with the scheme you're not going to play fast. Now that we're in the second year with Coach Roof and Coach Pelton, this is familiar. So now we just got to go out there and play aggressive. It's a game of football and it's about physicality.
Q: Last year coming into camp the offensive line was banged up a little bit. This year they have 3 or 4 lines coming at you all. Do you see a big difference in their performance so far?
A: Oh yea. They have a lot of depth now. When a player goes down another one can step up and play. And that's good for us that they have 3 lines that can come at us every time. They're fresh and we're down. They can get us mentally stronger. For them I can just see them getting better every day just watching them play. The young guys are getting better and the old guys just keep progressing.
Q: What have you seen so far out of Justin Thomas and Tim Byerly so far in camp?
A: Oh, I love my quarterbacks man. I love my quarterbacks. They're going to do some big things this year and surprise some people. I can feel that. I like them a lot, they're getting better, and all we've got to do is keep working.
Q: Last question for you - Last night/late-breaking news there was a ruling in the Ed O'Bannon and NCAA case. Have you heard anything about that or has there been any chatter on the team in terms of what that means for student athletes, and especially for football players at big-time schools?
A: What is it called?
Q: The Ed O'Bannon case.
A: I don't even know what that is.
Post-Scrimmage Interview with Francis Kallon #92 Defensive TackleQ: How are things going so far in camp?
A: They're going good. I'm just working my butt off. Just trying to make everything positive and give it 100%.
Q: There's a lot of interest in the D-Line especially with all of the departures in the offseason. Everyone is expected you to have a big role this year. What are your expectations going into the year?
A: My expectations are to give 100% on the field, do my job, and win games.
Q: What kind of differences have there been from year 1 to year 2 with Ted Roof and Coach Pelton?
A: There's been big differences in the defense's mentality. It's more fierce now, it's more aggressive, and we're just rising up to the occasion.
Q: It looked like today you spent a lot more time in the 4-3 as opposed to the 4-2-5. Is that true just because you're playing our offense?
A: Yes, basically we're just playing against what we have in front of us. If it's the triple option we'll switch up our defensive play.
Q: How much have you leaned on Adam Gotsis? Has he been a good leader for you all?
A: Yea, he has. He has helped me tremendously to get better. Obviously being from another country it's been a good connection.
Q: How much prep have you done for other teams so far? Have you just been focused on fundamentals at this point?
A: Yea, we've been going through a lot of stuff and making sure we know what we have [going into] the season. We've practiced against the triple option and [prepared] for what we'll see this season.
Q: What are you weighing now?
8/9 Post-Scrimmage Interview with Synjyn Days #10 A-Back
Q: How is camp going so far?
A: It's going good. Everyone has camp legs and is a little tired. Overall as a team everyone is flying around out there and really enjoying themselves. I feel like as a team we're closer this year on and off the field than we were last year or past years.
Q: What did you think of today's scrimmage? It seemed like you were a jack-of-all-trades lining up at A, B, and QB.
A: It was interesting. Coach Johnson met with me this summer and said he wanted to get me the ball a lot more because I'm physical in short-yardage situations. He's trying to put me in wherever I can fit in and get me the ball. I think that pretty much speaks to my game; I'm versatile. So hopefully that turns out pretty good for us this season too.
Q: Obviously the A-Back [position] is more in your wheelhouse probably since you played it the last couple years. Do you have a preference?
A: Not really. I just want the ball in my hands and I want the team to win. I feel like with the ball in my hands we have a great chance of winning because I'm tough to tackle.
Q: How far along are you guys this year compared to last year at this time?
A: I think we're probably further along even though we have a new quarterback in Justin Thomas. Justin was new to the offense when he came in but he impressed me. When he came in I was still at quarterback. He impressed me with his knowledge of the game and how calm he was as a quarterback. You never really see him rattled. At the A-Back position we have a lot of seniors. A lot of people don't think we have depth at the D-Line, but I feel like the core guys that we have are going to hold it down.
Q: There's a lot of talk about the hurry-up. We saw it in the spring a little bit, we've heard about it in the offseason, and we saw it for maybe one or two series today. How much have you all worked on that so far?
A: We've worked on that every day, every practice. Every practice we work on the hurry-up, oh my goodness, especially at the end of practice. I feel like it helps [practicing] when we're tired because it makes us be more mentally focused. I think it's going to be a big factor when we run it this season because a lot of defenses are probably not going to be able to get lined up and get their calls. We're going to know what we're supposed to be doing, so I'm looking forward to running it during the season.
Q: Last year coming in to camp the offensive line was banged up. This year you have 3 or 4 different lines coming in. They're all fresh and you're running them through. Have you noticed a difference in how well they're doing?
A: Yea, I think the O-Line as a whole has progressed in knowing the calls and who they're getting. That's one of the big things with our offense. Playing A-Back and B-Back and knowing the different calls that the linemen have to make, and I see they're making the right calls because that's what I see too. It's reassuring knowing that the line is making the right calls and blocking the right people. I'm really looking forward to this year. I'm really excited.
Q: Last question for you - Last night there was some late-breaking news in the Ed O'Bannon and the NCAA trial. Have you all heard anything about that, the outcome, or do you have any sort of opinion on what that means?
A: No, we haven't heard anything about it. I haven't heard anything about it.
8/9 GT Football Scrimmage RecapDespite ominous forecasts this morning's weather turned into the complete opposite of the spring game. The temperature was in the 70's and the skies were dry, a welcome change for coaches, players, and fans. Unsurprisingly all parties enjoyed a more crisp result in all three phases of the game along with a few big plays sprinkled in.
Highlighting today's action was a big effort from Tim Byerly. He and Justin Thomas split snaps with the first unit during the day's first drive that ended with a ~45 yard Harrison Butker field goal. The drive opened with two consecutive passes, the second of which was a back shoulder throw from Thomas to DeAndre Smelter that resulted in a 10+ yard gain for a first down.
Throughout the day Byerly looked sharp, highlighted by him ripping off a 50+ yard scamper for a touchdown midway through the scrimmage. Under Byerly's direction the option looked as fluid as it ever has this early in fall camp. Also seeing action at QB were Matthew Jordan, Brady Swilling, Chase Martenson, and current A-Back Synjyn Days.
Jordan pushed through normal freshman QB mistakes and showed flashes. He followed several overthrows to receivers with a deep completion down the right sideline to Darren Waller that simply confirmed his long talked about potential. When option plays broke down he showed off his athleticism. It's clear Matthew is coming along but will need more time and repetitions to see significant playing time.
It appeared the defense spent much of the day in the 4-3 as opposed to the expected 4-2-5, a sign that the defense will be dynamic depending on who they line up against. The main benefactor of this was linebacker P.J. Davis who saw time with the first team defense as the third LB. Showing up big throughout the day was safety Dominique Noble who had at least three big hits that got the team and crowd excited.
A few other random notes:
- Synjyn Days lined up at A-Back, B-Back, and QB. The snap at QB was one play inside the 5-yard line as we've seen from him in the past. It'll be interesting to see whether he continues to get snaps at B-Back with the first team given the depth situation at running back (A and B). He looked good during his limited time at B-Back, which included a swing pass and run for 15 yards out of the backfield.
- A-Back Tony Zenon continued a strong fall camp with a couple nice runs and a diving 20-yard catch
- Tackle Bryan Chamberlain appeared to mostly line up at LT as opposed to RT where he played last year
- DE Jabari Hunt-Days was not a passive observer. He was loud and encouraging from the sidelines and was completely into the game. While playing mostly with the scout team, near the end of the scrimmage he played 1 series at DT with the first team defense.
- DE Kenderius Whitehead showed why coaches expect big things out of him next year with a touchdown saving tackle in the red zone
- On the scout team you'd be hard-pressed to find a guy who had a better day than RS SO A-Back Isiah Willis (#29). He made an athletic catch on a pass that took him out of stride, had several nice runs, and showed good burst. Physically he looks the part and could easily be a contributor in the near future.

Interview with Jamal Golden #4 SafetyQ: How are special teams looking so far in camp?
Jamal Golden #4 DB
A: We just got a new coach - Coach Ray - who came in. He's a very intense coach and I'm very excited to play for him. I feel like special teams is going to be one of our strong points this year.
Q: What kind of changes has Coach Ray made to coverage, the return game, or in the way you go through practice drills?
A: Practice drills are a little different. They're a little more intense and a little more organized. But honestly it's too soon to tell. He's a great coach, he's intense, and he gets after you on the little things. If you don't do the little things right then he's not going to put you on the field.
Q: Are you completely healthy?
A: I'm good. I'm good to go. I'm 100% and it's a great feeling to be back in fall camp with the pads on.
Q: Obviously you get a lot of attention for your ability in the return game. I know you take a lot of pride in being a top safety as well. What have you done to work on that aspect of your game?
A: Stay in the film room. I stayed in every meeting last season when I got injured. I've been to every workout this offseason. I'm learning the game as much as I can so that it slows down and I can play fast.
Q: What are your personal goals this year?
A: Be top in the ACC. Right now I'm most worried about our team goal which is to get to Charlotte. Really my personal goal is to do whatever I can to get us to Charlotte.
Q: Due to departures the D-Line is short on depth. Are you guys doing anything special defensively or team-wise to account for that lack of depth?
A: We're doing our regular stuff. Obviously we lost Jeremiah, Euclid, and Too Tall to graduation. We have some guys ready to step up. Adam Gotsis is obviously going to be a good player. Shawn Green has played - I guess people forget about him, but he's played a lot and is a good player too. Tyler Stargel and KeShun Freeman are at the ends. And then we have guys like Pat Gamble and Francis Kallon, so we have guys on the D-Line. We're going to make plays there.
Q: What young guys have looked good so far on defense?
@CuseJacket interviews Golden
A: KeShun Freeman has looked really good. Then you have the Austin twins who have come in and have been very impressive. They're very skilled. They're still learning the game right now but I feel like they're going to be very good players.
Q: Superlatives- Who is the toughest guy to cover on offense?
A: I'll give it to Tony Zenon. He's very shifty. It's hard to see which way he's going to break. He's the toughest A-Back to hit. Then at WR you have Darren Waller and Deandre [Smelter]. They're both big guys. They're hard to cover and they can go up and get the ball. They give me some great competition as do the rest of the guys. It's a competition every day.
Q: Who's the one guy on the O-Line you least want to see pull on an offensive play or release to the second level?
A: Shaq. Shaq. Definitely Shaq.
Q: Sounds like there might be a personal experience in there somewhere.
A: Yea, I've gone against Shaq many-a-time. With our OL, they fire off the ball and move very well. They get up to the 2nd level very quickly, so if you don't see them they can get you.
Q: Who is the toughest guy to tackle?
A: Tim Byerly and Donovan [Wilson] are tough. It's hard to pick one person. Obviously Zach Laskey is a bruiser. They're all tough runners on offense.

City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

Tropical Storm Alpha Sets Naming Record
Zonk posted more than 8 years ago | from the end-of-times dept.344
vekron writes "Tropical Storm Alpha formed Saturday in the Caribbean, setting the record for the most named storms in an Atlantic hurricane season. This is the first time the U.S National Hurricane Center has resorted to using the Greek alphabet since it began naming tropical cyclones in 1953. The previous record of 21 named storms had stood since 1933. Alpha was the 22nd to reach tropical storm strength this year, and the season doesn't end until November 30. At 8 p.m. EDT, Alpha was 70 miles south of Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. Tropical storm warnings have been posted for the entire coastline of the Dominican Republic and Haiti and for the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The storm is moving northwest at about 15 mph with winds at the center of 40 mph and is expected to make landfall late Saturday or early Sunday. The National Hurricane Center is tracking this storm; it is offering updates about its development as an RSS feed."

Women gaining weight to fit into trendy plus-size fashions
NEW YORK - As new plus-size clothing lines are rapidly introduced to the market, women across America are gaining weight faster than ever to suitably fill out the plentiful plus-size styles. Third quarter industry sales figures indicate the larger the styles become, the more weight women gain. Fashion designer Tim Gunn commented, "There is no limit to the weight women will gain to fit into these hot designs."
Although makers of plus-size clothing are enjoying vibrant success, there has been a backlash from consumers who feel self-conscious about being under the minimal weight for plus-size clothing. A spokeswoman for the National Organization for Women stated, "Thin women need to be reminded they are attractive too. Society has set the unfair expectation that women must reach an unattainable plus-size standard to be considered beautiful."
Several consumer groups have petitioned the plus-size designers to begin producing the same styles for average size women. Lane Bryant apparel buyer Jeffrey Sparks said, "Many busy women don't have time to gain the necessary weight but they still want to wear what Michael Phelps' mom wears. At Lane Bryant we're listening to our customers and started making trimmed down versions of the hottest plus-size lines. In one case, a store manager took a gorgeous size 44W pant suit and simply cut it in half."
In some cases average size women seek out programs to help gain the weight needed to wear plus-sizes. The WeightWatchersTM company has introduced a program to help underweight women gain the necessary weight in a healthy way. WeightWatchersTM spokesperson Jennifer Miller commented, "In a matter of weeks an average size woman can feel comfortable in most plus-sizes by following a disciplined program of increased caloric intake and reduced physical exertion."
