LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Today is Tom Jurich's 15th anniversary at the University of Louisville. Following is a Part I of a transcript of his 45 minute discussion with reporters today at the Yum! Center on U of L's campus:
Q: What's your legacy here?JURICH: I don't like to talk about my legacy here. I don't ever want to talk in those terms. But my dad, I've used this a million times, and you've probably heard this a million times, always told me, you surround yourself with better people than yourself. And I've done that. If I've succeeded in one team, it's definitely been that.I've said many times, I want to be little brother. I want to be Avis. I want that, "we try harder" atmosphere. I want that around our department and I want our people to be hungry for that. But my ultimate goal is that I want little brother to be 6-4 and 285. And that's what we've been able to do. We've been able to succeed in a lot of different ways. The thing the department has been so great about is that everybody has worked together to make this happen. The one goal I had when I came here was I didn't want to be just a one-sport town. I wanted a program that was good across the board. And I remember coming here and Lamar Daniel who was a consultant for Title IX at the time, told me we needed to drop three or four men's sports. And I thought, I can't take the job, because I'm a builder. I don't want to drop sports, I want to build sports. And he said financially you won't be able to do it. I think everybody remembers us going through all that and it was painful, but I think this school will be better off for it for the next hundred, two hundred years, because we did strive for excellence in Title IX, and we strived to be the best we could be with a major football program. And looking at it now, are we the best? Absolutely not. But we're in the conversation, which is good.Q: Do you have any top accomplishment, or any one regret that you would go back and change?JURICH: You can second-guess yourself all the time. I challenge our staff to look in the mirror every day. That's your best friend or your worst enemy. And I choose to make it your best friend. But there are a lot of times I've looked in that mirror and seen my worst enemy. You go back and say I wish I'd have done this differently. But I don't have any regrets. This is me. I believe I'm open and honest. I think I'm approachable. I try to do things with class and integrity. I strive to make the right decisions. I'm not sure I have, but I strive to. Q: What attracted you to come here?JURICH: I didn't know anything about Louisville. It was Harry Jones and Sam Rechter who kind of discovered me out at Colorado State. Colorado State at the time was a kind of similar program. They had a lot of problems when I went in there and we just assembled good people and we just got everybody feeling good about each other. We didn't have anything. We didn't have any money. It's a hard place to raise money. It was a beautiful, beautiful campus. It looked like a state park. But it was a difficult job. You talk about little brother, you're really little brother there. You're fighting for everything you have there. But Harry and Sam came out to visit me. And I love this story, because we were at a golf tournament up in the mountains, about 35-45 miles from Fort Collins, a beautiful place. And that was our fundraiser, our one fundraiser of the year. And we were green and gold. It looked like a John Deere convention. But these two guys walk in wearing bright red, and you talk about standing out. So they rented a condominium at this golf course and said we need 20 minutes to talk to you. So I said, "I'm in group 1A, I'm done, so you've got 20 minutes." It was raining and I'm all muddy and everything. And I'll never forget, they sat me down and gave me two Bud Lights, one in each hand, and said let's talk. And that's how the whole thing started.Q: Did you take a pass on the job at one point?JURICH: I took four passes. It had nothing to do with Louisville. I had never been to Louisville. I just knew I had a great place at Colorado State. I loved the people. Terilynn was from Wyoming, and it was the closest job you could possibly have without having to live in Wyoming. And we could get up there and see her parents and do all those things. Just loved everything about it.Q: How long do you want to do this?JURICH: I want to keep working. I don't see myself ever retiring. That's what I'm trying to sell to our hardheaded basketball coach, when he retires. That's what I tell him. My dad's goal in live was to hit 58 or 60 or whatever retirement age was so he could go play golf. He retired as a senior vice president at TransAmerica. Worked hard, hard, hard, got to retire, played golf for about two months and said, "What the hell am I doing?" He was bored to death. Couldn't read enough newspapers. There was not enough for him to do, and I truly believe that was a contributing factor to the end of his life. I think that took so much out of him. I don't look forward to that day I retire. I want to keep going, as long as they'll have me. I know there will be an ending sometime. But right now I'd like to go another 15 years. I'd like to see this place be the best it can possibly be. Q: What is the biggest challenge you think you'll face in the years ahead?JURICH: That changes. Today you might look at it and say it's the conference. But the conference might turn out to be a great asset, you don't know. It might be financial, or who the governor is. It might be who the coaches are. You don't know. In athletics, you can't predict.Q: Coach Strong told us about the process of you interviewing and hiring him. How did you sell it to him?JURICH: I thought for the last couple of years of the previous regime, that he would be the perfect fit. I knew Urban, because Urban had worked with us at Colorado State, and Urban thought the world of him. I talked to a lot of people, Seth Hancock, quite a bit, who knew Charlie. And I was very fortunate. When I was drafted by the Steelers I was there for about 15 seconds, I got to meet a guy who was really, really impressive, and when I went to the University of Minnesota, was his alma mater. And that was Tony Dungy. So I was able to develop a friendship with Tony Dungy. Now Tony's got 600 million friends and I'm only one of them, but I called on him quite a bit through this whole process. Now when you call on somebody in this process, you always here, "Well he's a great guy." Well I didn't need a great guy. I needed a great person, who had great character, who was a great coach and would be a great teacher and will be a great fit in the community. And Tony really sold me on those things.Q: Coach Strong said you only asked him one question in the interview.JURICH: Yeah. "Do you want be the head coach? Do you accept it?" And then he said yes and I said let's start the interview.
Midway through the press conference, U of L basketball coach Rick Pitino came into the room and spoke with reporters about Jurich, as he was leaving, Jurich grabbed his arm and there was the following exchange:
JURICH: "Before you leave, let's save these guys a trip next week. We get to extend your contract, right?
PITINO: Yeah. So I can die on the court.JURICH (continuing after Pitino left): I want him to sign it. I want to take him out another five, and then to age 70. As you see, he's 60 going on 35. I really believe that, because we see it every day. . . . This guy's got more energy than any human alive. I think it would be a crime to see him retire.Q: Is he balking? Are you having trouble getting him to agree?JURICH: Well the problem is that he doesn't need anything. Can't give him a horse, tickets to the track. So we'll just play on his passion. I think he's leaning that way. Originally he said we're going to sign one and that's it. But I think you have to credit this to these kids. There's no other way to look at it. Not the success, not the Final Four, not the 1, 2, 3, 8 ranking, whatever we are. It's these kids. It's something special. I've never seen him like this. Last year was great chemistry, and this year is even better. We've always had a deal. As long as you're happy and healthy, stay. He said yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he thought 65 would be it. I think one more (contract) will be great for him, then we'll work on the next one after that.Q: Are you optimistic?JURICH: I think so. Have we agreed to anything? No. But he knows we can put so much pressure on him it will make him wilt.Q: How difficult is football scheduling?JURICH: Football scheduling, believe it or not, has always been one of the most difficult parts of this job. It's incredible to get people to jump in and play each other. We've had so many close, close calls on who we'd get to schedule. The No. 1 thing to me still will remain to get Indiana on the football schedule. Not to put them in a bad position, I'm not saying it to do that. But that's just a game that's great for everybody. And I know Rick wants to play Tom and I think Tom wants to play too. So I think we'll get that'll all get worked out. That would be a great school to play in every, single sport. And I'd envision some kind of a Kroger Cup, because we'd get them to sponsor it, or somebody, a very friendly rivalry. And I think it would be a friendly rivalry. So that's something we're working on and we are speaking with them. I think Fred Glass is a great guy. The little bit I've come to know him, I've really enjoyed working with him. So that, to me, is a no-brainer. And you always have to take care of no-brainers first. Us playing Kentucky, and us playing Indiana, I think is a must. And then we do want to beef up our football schedule, because moving forward we must assume we're in the conference we're in, and I want to make sure that we want to give our coaches and fans the opportunity to play at the very highest level. So we want to step up in that way, too.
Q: What can you tell us about conference movement?JURICH: There's nothing. You know about as much as I know. The thing is, I think we're very impressive to people out there, but you can't go to the dance unless somebody wants you to go with them. So all we can do here is take care of things on this campus, make sure everything is the best we possibly can be. I said that when somebody asked me, do you feel stuck? I don't feel stuck in the Big East. I feel sorry for schools that are not in the league that are really on the outside looking in. The Big East has a lot of positives coming. This television contract, I don't have to tell anybody, is going to be a big thing. It's exciting. The thing the Big East has working against it right now is you have a bunch of new teams coming in. But the great bank of experience that I have to look back on, six or seven years ago when we came into the Big East, we were Central Florida. We were Houston. We were Temple. Name a school. That was us. I see what the Big East has done for us. And I remember at the time all the criticism the Big East took for taking us. I've worn that hat. That's why I won't ever criticize it. And I think you go back to commissioner Marinatto. He took a lot of shots, but his vision is starting to pay pretty good dividends. Everything he said was going to come true is going to come true. He went out, attracted cities, San Diego, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, brought a football market back with Temple, which I think the great winner of this whole expansion will be Temple football. What is really driving these deals is television sets, and he was a great visionary on that part of it. I wish he was around to see it.Q: Rick Pitino has said that you going on national TV and saying you wanted him to be U of L's next coach is what started the ball rolling for him to come here. Looking back, how big a risk was that?JURICH: At the time it was the Conference USA tournament and we were hosting it. There was no other time we'd be able to assemble that much media. And we had to get his attention, because I couldn't get it. So somehow Kenny (Klein) finagled it to get us on ESPNNews, and we tried to get the word to him (Pitino) to watch the news conference. And I wanted to throw it at him. Because I knew, I knew how this state of Kentucky really felt about him. And you had to replace a hall of fame coach with a hall of fame coach. That's something I just felt was a necessity and I think our kids deserved it and our fans deserved it. So we got him just to crack the door and listen and what it did it showed him I was nuts. That's what he told (attorney) Brett Rice. He said, "This guy's crazy." It was a one-horse race. There wasn't a Plan B, there really wasn't. We would have had to get to a Plan B, obviously, but there wasn't one at the time.
TO BE CONTINUED. Part II will follow in a bit.

Report details Apple iWatch tech, 'Healthbook' limits
According to a new report from MobiHealthNews, Apple currently has more than 200 people working on the iWatch, but the smartwatch will be a peripheral device that relies on an iPhone connection for full functionality, rather than intended as a purely standalone product. Qualifying rather than contradicting an earlier 9to5Mac story detailing potential iWatch features, the report notes that sensors in the iWatch may not be as advanced or numerous as some expect, with simpler measurements concentrated on displaying accurate, "real metrics like calories," rather than abstract Nike Fuel numbers, and a lower likelihood of features such as integrated hydration measurement.
Exercise, diet, sleep, stress, and medication adherence are all believed to be targeted by the device, which will aim to bring meaningful health tracking to the masses. It's believed Apple that is planning on keeping the iWatch and rumored "Healthbook" app — which may have a different name — unregulated by the FDA, which was the crux of the company's recent meeting with the agency. In order to avoid FDA regulation, Apple would have to report measured health statistics without analysis.

Prior to entering upon his regularly chosen career as a practitioner of law, Edgar Carlyle West had four years of experience as a teacher in the public schools. No doubt this period of his training has since played its part in the gaining of his success at the bar of Harnett County, and during the past eleven years he has been one of the most successful of Dunn's legists. No other occupation, save agriculture and banking, strikes so deeply into the roots of the commonwealth. But neither of these presents the latitude for moral digression, for intricate and questionable interpretation vouchsafed the learned disciple of legal science. It is for this reason that the man of principle, of steady application and unswerving purpose leads in the matter of really superior compensation, and like considerations prevail in the career of Mr. West.
Mr. West was born October 22, 1891, in Sampson County, North Carolina, and is a son of H. H. and Sudie (Hargrove) West. His father, a native of Sampson County, was engaged in agricultural operations throughout his life in that community, where he was held in high esteem for his many admirable traits of character. He was a farmer of progressive tendencies, who used modern methods in his operations, and who secured results by industry and good management. As a citizen he was broadminded, and a supporter of worthy measures and beneficial movements, although he never sought office. His death occurred in April, 1925, while Mrs. West, who was a native of Duplin County, this state, passed away in February, 1911.
The boyhood and youth of Edgar Carlyle West were passed in the midst of agricultural surroundings, where he spent much of his time in assisting his father in the- work of the home farm. His early education was acquired in the district schools of his native community, following which he pursued a teacher's training course at the East Carolina Teachers' Training School at Greenville. The next four years were passed by Mr. West as a teacher in the country schools of Sampson County, and while so engaged he employed his leisure time in the study of law. He likewise had one year of training at Buies Creek Academy, and finally entered Wake Forest College, from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1915. In that year Mr. West entered upon the practice of his profession at Dunn, where he has since built up a large and lucrative clientele. Mr. West is now one of the acknowledged leaders of his calling in Harnett County, and at his well-appointed offices in the First National Bank Building handles loans, adjustments and collections. He is a member of the Harnett County Bar Association and the North Carolina Bar Association, and his professional business carries him into all of the courts. He has been identified with much of the important litigation that has been brought into the courts in recent years, and his fine talent has carried him to victory in a number of noteworthy cases. In addition to his law practice he has extensive farming interests in Bladen and Sampson counties. A republican in his political convictions, Mr. West is a member of the republican state executive committee and one of his party's leading members in the community, having beer presidential elector for his district in 1924. Under President Harding's administration he received the appointment as postmaster at Dunn and served capably in that capacity, and on two occasions has been the candidate of his party for county judge, but in each case has met with defeat by a narrow margin. Mr. West takes a keen interest in civic affairs and is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce. As a fraternalist he belongs to the Masons; the Knights of Pythias, the Improved Order of Red Men and the Loyal Order of Moose. With his family he belongs to the Missionary Baptist Church.
On April 9, 1916, Mr. West was united in marriage with Miss Irma Jernigan, a daughter of Rev. W. J. and Parthenia (Parker) Jernigan, natives .of Sampson County. Reverend Jernigan, who was a Baptist minister and for many years filled various pulpits in Sampson and adjoining counties, died in February 1916. Mr. and Mrs. West have four children: Edward Carlyle, born January 4, 1918; Irma Elizabeth, born January 24, 1921; James Jernigan, born December 18, 1922; and Robert Holt, born September 17, 1924. The pleasant family home is located at No. 201 Washington Avenue. Mrs. West is active in the work of the Missionary Baptist Church.

Weibo gets English version, starts building games for Facebook.
This is the first in a two-part series. Read part two.
Chinese social media powerhouse Tencent is rapidly moving into the U.S. market, quietly rolling out an English-language version of its Wiebo microblogging platform and assembling a team to launch online social games on Facebook. The company recently opened offices in Palo Alto, CA. in the shadow of Facebook's headquarters, to take advantage of Silicon Valley's pool of gaming talent and tech-savvy Mandarin-speaking applicants.
Tencent America, a division of Tencent Holdings, tells recruits that it is staffing the office with people who will bring new online social games to market in North America, particularly on Facebook. For instance, in a listing for a community manager position, Tencent says it is seeking a manager to drive the "vision and features for our Facebook social game titles." The company says it prefers - but does not require - bilingual applicants who have worked with offshore teams and startups.
Another indicator of Tencent's U.S. plans can be found on the English version of QQ Games, its in-house multi-player gaming site. A post by a company rep refers players to a pair of Facebook games and asks them "to join us for the next stage in our gaming journey."
Facebook is blocked in mainland China, where the vast majority of Tencent's users reside. Tencent Weibo, also called QQ Weibo, was launched in April 2010 and is still in Beta testing. In late Sept. 2011, bloggers started reporting that the site, t.qq.com, was giving them the option of viewing it in Chinese or English and in some cases it was automatically appearing in English.
The site boasts 300 million users, but its activity rate pales compared to its Chinese rival Sina Weibo. Both are described as Twitter-Facebook hybrids, but Sina Wiebo has yet to offer an English-language site.
Tencent owns a range of Internet services in China and is primarily known for its popular QQ Messenger instant messaging service, which spawned QQ Games. To put the Tencent online empire in U.S terms, it's as if "AOL Instant Messenger, MySpace, Twitter, and a mini-Facebook were all owned by one company, and all were cross-promoted and synced to each other," says Kai Lukoff, Beijing-based founder of startup blog Techrice. In China, Tencent "has locked-in a huge user base via the social graph of QQ Messenger, and Tencent Weibo is just another spoke in that hub," he states. Other experts point out that a single QQ account can be tied to social networking, social gaming and even social commerce. Tencent reports that as of September 2011, it had 711.7 million active QQ IM users and in November 2011 Tencent Weibo had 50 million active users.

Nate Oropollo's four sacks helped drag Delaware Valley out of the Top 25.
Lycoming athletics photo
Having played two weeks can sometimes be more confusing than having played one, when you come to think about it. That's because with some teams, we have to pretty much erase everything we thought we learned in Week 1 when it's completely contradicted the second time around.
This week, Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman talk about the conundrums posed by Delaware Valley losing to Lycoming, which lost to Brockport State, or Rowan, which beat Delaware Valley, losing to D-II Merrimack. And of course, Brockport went on to beat Buffalo State, after Buff State beat Cortland the week before. And don't even get us started on Lebanon Valley, which has a signature win against Montclair State, except that Salve Regina also beat Montclair this weekend …
In addition, Pat and Keith talk about what a great Sunday it was in Division III, and that doesn't happen very often. Plus R-Kal Truluck gets his name mentioned again. And it's been a great season for the MIAC so far, which is 13-0 as a conference, but it's also been good for the ECFC.
And of course, the big games are mentioned as well: Wesley-Salisbury, Linfield/Hardin-Simmons, St. John Fisher-Washington and Jefferson and more. All that and more in the Around the Nation podcast.

Triple Take: Top 25s collide
No comments · Posted by ryantipps in General, Triple Take
If healthy, Nate Wara can hurt teams with his arm and legs.
By Larry Radloff, d3photography.com
Three crucial games between Top 25 teams take place this weekend. Each and every Saturday, players line up to help sort out conference races and hopefully take down rivals, but these national games have an even broader audience because of their implications toward the NCAA postseason. Many eyes should be watching.
Giving you insight into some of the Top 25 as well as pieces of the rest of the 214 teams out there are Pat Coleman, Keith McMillan and Ryan Tipps.
Game of the Week.
Ryan's take: No. 6 North Central at No. 15 Illinois Wesleyan. Truth be told, both of these teams are in the Top 10 on my ballot and are separated by just two spots. Both teams are coming off of games against mid-pack CCIW squads, so be ready to see them hit the ground running. If the Titans hope to pull the upset, they need to be mistake-free through the air and able to create some big plays. Take too long in the pocket? North Central will get you. Hiccup into too many third-down situations? North Central will force the punt. But Illinois Wesleyan should be able to stop the Cardinals' multi-pronged run game better than any team so far this season, so weight will be on North Central not to let momentum falter amid a few stuffed plays.
Keith's take: No. 1 UW-Whitewater at No. 20 UW-Oshkosh. That CCIW game might end up being the GOTW, but if Titans QB Nate Wara and Warhawks LB Greg Arnold both play, the WIAC could hog the spotlight. It's rare that the Warhawks get a challenge, but UW-Oshkosh is loose — coach Pat Cerroni told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the pressure is on Whitewater — and has legitimate credentials. The Warhawks and Titans are 1-2 in the WIAC in total offense and defense. In four wins against WIAC teams (though only three count in the conference standings), UW-Oshkosh has outscored the opposition, 145-36. That's less than 10 points allowed per game, and while they're unlikely to match that against Whitewater, they might not have to stay in the playoff hunt. Aside from a one-point loss to UW-Stevens Point in 2008, Whitewater hasn't lost a WIAC game since 2004. They're 44-1, and even if Oshkosh can't make it a 2, a good showing would keep them in the mix, in my opinion. Playing both Whitewater and Mount Union makes the Titans an exception to any rule.
Pat's take: No. 3 St. Thomas at No. 10 Bethel. I'm not sure I need to say anything more here so I won't, except to say that St. Thomas players and coaches have talked about enjoying playing Bethel because they just line up and bring it with hard-nosed smash-mouth football.
Surprisingly close game.
Ryan's take: Mount Ida at SUNY-Maritime. Maritime is at the top of the ECFC, is undefeated in conference play and is the reigning conference champion. But what 3-3 Mount Ida has is a competitive team that can move the ball — a lot. To the tune of nearly 500 yards a game in conference play, in fact. The Privateers will be in trouble if they can't slow running back Johrone Bunch or can't keep their penalties in check.
Keith's take: Mount Ida at SUNY-Maritime. Usually we aim not to repeat games, but I went through my usual routine without seeing Ryan's pick, and this game stood out. Here's why: Of the top 22 defenses in the country by yardage, 13 belong to undefeated teams and five more are one-loss squads. Then there's Mount Ida. It allows just 233 yards per game, and 106 rushing. Although the Mustangs have faced some teams that struggle to move the ball, they've also taken teams out of what they do well. That's what it takes against the triple-option attack of the Privateers. The Mustangs might fall to 3-4, but they should make Maritime work to make it happen.
Pat's take: No. 14 Salisbury at Hartwick. How close does it have to be to surprise? Closer than 42 points? Closer than 69? At some point the back-to-back trips to upstate New York will slow the Sea Gulls down, just not enough to put this game in serious doubt.
Most likely Top 25 team to get upset.
Ryan's take: No. 17 Redlands. Though Occidental is certainly having a down year, the Tigers match up fairly well against the Bulldogs. Occidental is almost an all-pass offense, and Redlands' strength isn't stopping the pass, it's stopping the run. So if Oxy can find a way to move the ball and stay on the plus side of turnovers as they have over the whole of the season, then they may be able to make some noise in this game.
Keith's take: No. 24 St. Olaf. Ninth-ranked Montclair State could be in trouble without quarterback Tom Fischer against TCNJ, but the Oles' game at Augsburg is worth focusing on. St. Olaf might feel the pressure of being ranked for the first time this season, although it's deserved. A road win against the Auggies (4-2) would go a long way toward proving the comeback against Bethel was not a fluke. Last week's win against Carleton was the first time the Oles held a team below 22 points, and Augsburg is averaging 26 a game even after a shutout against St. Thomas two weeks ago. The Auggies have lost two in a row and should play with a season-saving sense of urgency.
Pat's take: No. 6 North Central. Illinois Wesleyan plays the top CCIW teams better at home, there's no two ways about it. In 2008 and 2010, having to travel to North Central and Wheaton, IWU finished a combined 7-7 in the league. In 2009 and so far in 2011, the Titans are 9-1, having already beaten Wheaton.
They'll be on your radar.
Ryan's take: No. 11 Wabash. How's my 11th-ranked alma mater just now on my radar, you ask? Well, I've certainly kept the Little Giants close at heart all season, but this week, they may be defined by how well they respond after seeing some weaknesses in their armor after last Saturday's Oberlin game. The Yeomen were down 30-3 at one point and battled back against a nationally ranked team to within one score. Wabash needs to make sure it has confidence down the stretch and, possibly, into the postseason. Right now, the Little Giants' opponents are just 12-24, a record that hasn't given the team much chance to really prove themselves. This week's Denison is 3-4, and the next two teams, Allegheny and Wittenberg, are both above .500. Wabash will need to sign, stamp and seal its show of force in these next three matchups.
Keith's take: Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. My radar. I love this category because it's the only pick I can't get wrong. And what would be wrong about wanting to see how the Stags bounce back from being on the wrong end of the D3football.com play of the week, a hail mary that kept Redlands from having to play overtime? The 2-3 Stags are at Whittier this week, then play Cal Lutheran the following Saturday. In Kyle Sweeney's first season at the helm, CMS seems like it's on the path to someday being a legitimate SCIAC contender, but first I want to see how it performs after last week's devastation. If so, perhaps it plays spoiler.
Pat's take: The College of New Jersey. With Montclair State facing an immediate future without starting quarterback Tom Fischer, TCNJ has a chance to throw a monkey wrench into the NJAC and open the door wider for Mount Union to be the "East" bracket's top seed. The oldest college football rivalry in New Jersey isn't the biggest rivalry for either of these two schools, but surely someone in the Trenton area will mention it. If they're not too busy talking about it being homecoming.
Which unlikely conference leader is most likely to pick up a loss?
Ryan's take: Christopher Newport, to N.C. Wesleyan. As a regular visitor to the playoffs, CNU isn't in the unlikeliest of spots, but in the preseason, I had expected N.C. Wesleyan and Ferrum to be the two teams atop the USA South, so CNU's positioning is a little surprising. However, they will certainly be put to the test when they face off against NCWC this weekend. The Bishops are a good team year in and year out, and the Captains have had so many games this fall that were decided by the narrowest of margins. Two of the close ones ended in losses, while two others were wins. I'm not sure CNU will succeed against NCWC if they can't establish a good-size lead early on.
Keith's take: Lewis & Clark, to Puget Sound. I couldn't be more thrilled to see the Pioneers' program revived. And the Loggers are struggling at 0-6. But there aren't many candidates for this category (technically Linfield, at 3-0 in the NWC, outpaces L&C at 2-0). I'm just playing the odds. (Can the Pios really be that much improved? Beating Whitworth last week seemed to suggest so.) Last season these two teams played an instant classic, 68-64 game that the Pioneers won on a TD pass with one second left. If UPS can't muster an upset to get revenge for that, I don't know what would inspire them.
Pat's take: Lakeland, to Concordia (Ill.). I'm not sure how many unlikely conference leaders there actually are. UW-Oshkosh is an easy choice as WIAC co-leader to lose to UW-Whitewater but that seems like cheating and there are a couple of other unlikely leaders that I don't see losing this week. Although Concordia lost a lot of seniors from last year's squad, they've still performed admirably so far and could knock Lakeland out of its first-place tie with Benedictine.
Which team with two or more losses is worth watching?
Ryan's take: Emory & Henry. Having seen the Wasps play in their opener this season, I'm confident in saying they are a much better team than their 4-3 record would indicate. One of their losses came against a non-Division III institution, while the other two losses came against 6-1 squads, Hampden-Sydney and Washington and Lee. What's more, no loss this year was by more than three points. I can't imagine the frustration this team is feeling. There's no shortage of talent: Sophomore quarterback Kyle Boden broke an ODAC record en route to a 390-yard passing performance last week, while players like Daniel Preston, Devan Sproles and Tyler Houk have revived the defense. The level of the talent will be on display against Catholic this week.
Keith's take: Gettysburg. Its 525-yard-per-game offense outpaces Mount Union (No. 3 nationally, a spot behind the Bullets) and UW-Whitewater (No. 9), and it does it with almost perfect balance (254 rushing, 271 passing per game). Plus they host 6-0 Johns Hopkins (No. 6 offense in the nation) Saturday; I'm sure they're going to be jacked up. This could've been my upset pick, but the Bullets seem to run out of them when the defense takes the field. They're 174th in total defense (389 yards/game and 212th in scoring D, and not just because they've given up 56 and 57 in losses. A 14-10 win last week against Muhleberg was the defense's first step in the right direction.
Pat's take: McDaniel. The Green Terror made their displeasure known with a preseason conference poll that had McDaniel picked to tie for eighth, but at 1-5, they haven't put that possibility behind them at all. Trying to muster another couple of wins to salvage some pride starts at Dickinson on Friday night.
What team will turn the biggest 180 from last week?
Ryan's take: Mount St. Joseph. Because after a three-week skid, the Lions have nowhere to go but up. They will again be above .500 after lining up against Earlham, which hasn't won since the 2009 season. MSJ might not be able to compete for a playoff spot anymore this season, but like all teams with great rivalries, they have something to keep them going till the end. Look for them to begin to work out their kinks ahead of the Bridge Bowl Trophy game against Thomas More on Nov. 12.
Keith's take: Heidelberg. It's cherry-picking, sure, but playing Mount Union midseason is like a one-week suspension of reality. Before the 56-7 loss to the Purple Raiders, the Student Princes had won four of five and were averaging 451 yards per game of total 0ffense. Throw out last week's 195 yards of offense, and expect the Germany Woods-led ground attack to pick up where it was two weeks ago in a trip to Marietta. The Pioneers' two wins are against 0-6 teams, Thiel and Wilmington.
Pat's take: Anna Maria. The annual other game between third-year programs Anna Maria and Castleton State is this weekend, with Castleton having won the first, 56-52. Anna Maria is 0-25 in its football career and could get off the schneid this weekend.

Triple Take: Blemished and battling
No comments · Posted by ryantipps in General, Triple Take
Trevor Manuel leads Huntingdon with 177 all-purpose yards per game.

By the time Week 5 rolls past, the Division III landscape usually still has many unbeatens fighting toward the postseason. At this point in 2008, '09 and '10, a total of only two teams made the D3football.com Top 10 with a blemish on their records.
This year alone, we have three.
It suggests an anything-can-happen season, but there's potentially deeper insight into it for those willing to explore on a national scale.
Pat Coleman, Keith McMillan and Ryan Tipps are here to help you analyze. Saturday is closing in fast, and that means more upsets may be in the making.
Game of the Week.
Ryan's take: No. 14 Wittenberg at Huntingdon. The Hawks come in as a one-loss team averaging more than 37 points a game in very consistent offensive performances. And, they've already taken down a team that's been in the Top 25 this season, Hampden-Sydney. Statistically, Huntingdon doesn't stack up well against the pass, and Witt has a signal-caller who's thrown for 1,500 yards and has a 12:1 touchdown to interception ratio. But these stats were familiar in the H-SC game, too, and Huntingdon found a way through turnovers to overcome their shortcomings and win. (Is it an omen that both Witt and -Sydney are nicknamed the Tigers?) With has an opening-week win against Capital, a team that's shown glimmers of skill, Witt proved it can win when it counts. It'll be a long ride from Montgomery back to Springfield if they don't.
Keith's take: No. 15 Cortland State at No. 11 Montclair State. Truthfully, I probably would've picked Ryan's game, but his reward for working up the post each week is first choice. This NJAC clash will do, however, because it will provide needed clarity in what is right now potentially a five-team race. Or maybe it won't, since last season finished in a three-way tie. In any case, I watched Dan Pitcher carve up Rowan a couple weeks ago to the tune of 315 passing yards, and the statistics say Montclair's been vulnerable to the pass (151st nationally). But the Red Hawks are usually stout on defense, and last season Cortland needed to score 10 points in the final 11 minutes of a 10-9 win. Already this year the Red Dragons and Red Hawks have two common opponents (Buffalo State and Morrisville State), with each winning one by blowout. Cortland's played the tougher schedule so far, and comes in with a loss to Kean. The lack of any real idea what's going to happen, though I'd lean Cortland right now if forced to choose, makes it a classic Game of the Week.
Pat's take: No. 20 Wartburg at Dubuque. I don't think I can consider this as a team likely to be upset, since the teams are so close together in the voting … and not even in the same order on my ballot. My thinking is that if Coe's Jared Kuehner caught nine passes for 115 against Wartburg a couple weeks ago, what will Mike Zweifel and Demacus Fleming do through the air for Dubuque?
Surprisingly close game.
Ryan's take: No. 25 Franklin at Rose-Hulman. While the Grizzlies are a one-loss team, they can be excused for their blemish, having come at the hands of defending national champion UW-Whitewater. This week's opponent, Rose-Hulman, stands at just 2-2, but the Engineers have been able to find success if they balance their offense and not slough off when getting to the ball on defense. Perhaps most critical for Rose to pull an upset will be to stop Franklin on third down. The Grizzlies have a knack for converting the down and keeping drives alive.
Keith's take: Mount Ida at Anna Maria. It stands to reason that any team that's lost the first 23 games in its history might be a pushover, even for a 1-3 team like Mount Ida. But the AmCats are on the cusp, coming off a 56-52 loss to rival Castleton State and a 48-40 four-overtime loss to Gallaudet in which they led 34-13. Perhaps, since the Mustangs have played four close games a fifth wouldn't be a surprise, but it should be close. And Anna Maria might finally win.
Pat's take: Hobart at Union. I'm taking a bit of a leap of faith here, as Union has been on the wrong side of a couple of surprisingly close games. But the Dutchmen have turned their close losses into close wins the past two weeks, which gives me a reason to make this pick. Union lost in a close one on the road at Hobart last year, starting their season-ending tailspin. With the home field, Union could turn that around.
Most likely Top 25 team to get upset.
Ryan's take: No. 16 Delaware Valley. After a slow start to the season, Wilkes has scooped up victories against Widener and FDU-Florham, the former of which stands at 4-1 this season. Wilkes has seen improving play from quarterback Alex George, and the team is coming off a week in which two of its players earned MAC weekly honors. The Aggies, on the other hand, may have the defense to at least slow Wilkes' nearly 500-yard-a-game average. Swallowing up Zach Tivald along with George should be a priority. If that happens, DelVal may be lucky enough to earn a repeat of its first two games.
Keith's take: No. 10 Kean. We finally gave them some Around the Region love; that's the kiss of death. In all seriousness, I could be reading the TCNJ and Western Connecticut results wrong, but the Cougars don't seem all the way dialed in every week, and eventually that bites a team. I don't know that I'd expect Buffalo State to pull the upset, but Kean could use a convincing win to keep from finding itself in this space again.
Pat's take: No. 22 Salisbury. A lot of the talk around the game centers around the two triple-option offenses of Salisbury and Springfield but considering these defenses see the triple-option on a regular basis, I think we could see more of a defensive battle than initially pondered.
They'll be on your radar.
Ryan's take: Pacific Lutheran. The Lutes came into 2011 with some seriously depleted ranks and real uncertainty about whether they'd come close to a repeat of last year's 8-1 season. So far, they stand at 2-1, which looks good on the surface. Yet those two wins come against teams that are a combined 0-8 this year. The Lutes' only challenge was their failed comeback attempt in a 28-17 road loss to Cal Lutheran. Pacific Lutheran may not repeat last year's success, but a win this week against Whitworth means they won't have slipped to the NWC's basement.
Keith's take: Augsburg. The Auggies have been consistent on the scoreboard, averaging 32 points per game without scoring fewer than 28, and defensive linemen Edmond Smith and Aaron Perry have them among the nation's leaders in sacks and tackles for losses. I don't expect them to beat No. 3 St. Thomas, but I would like to find out if we can expect them to be competitive the next two weekends, at Concordia-Moorhead and against St. Olaf. Or will a promising 4-0 start morph into 4-3 in a few weeks?
Pat's take: St. Scholastica. The Saints have a chance to go unbeaten and need to win every week in order to avoid a first-round playoff road trip to a top seed. Northwestern has certainly seen more success in past years, but is 3-1 in the league and certainly not out of the hunt yet.
Which conference game has the potential to change the race or throw us for a loop?
Ryan's take: Heidelberg at Muskingum. Raise your hand if you saw these two teams being a combined 7-1 and vying for the upper-echelon of the OAC. There might be a hand raised way in the back of the room, but that's about it. These standings are nothing to scoff at. Together, the Student Princes and the Muskies have taken down Ohio Northern, Otterbein and Capital – you know, the kinds of teams we've gotten used to hearing about even into the postseason. Often, the No. 2 team in the OAC gets a playoff bid, and if these teams hope to be in the discussion at the end of the season, they need to keep winning. The victor on Saturday will have earned itself a boost.
Keith's take: UW-Oshkosh at UW-Eau Claire and Ripon at Monmouth. Double bonus for faithful TT readers! The Blugolds (that's UW-EC) have beaten both UW-Stout and UW-River Falls by multiple touchdowns in their 3-1 start, but the Titans whomped those teams even worse. With a win against Central and a loss to No. 2 Mount Union, Oshkosh seems made to contend, but we need to see it against a respectable WIAC team. Meanwhile, in the MWC, four teams are 4-1, 3-1, and two face off on Saturday. Ripon bring the nation's No. 4 rushing offense (349 yards per game) to Illinois to try to outscore Monmouth's No. 6 passing offense (332.6/game). The Scots have played better defense (17 points allowed the past three games) and have put up the more convincing conference results, so a Ripon win would be a major upset.
Pat's take: Lebanon Valley at Albright. We need the result of this game in order to see if Albright will be in position to challenge Delaware Valley for the conference lead next week. The Lions stubbed their toe last week at Lycoming and another loss likely eliminate them from the conference race. If not Albright, Wilkes (this week), Widener and Lycoming have a shot left.
Tigers, Lions or Bears?
Ryan's take: Tigers. But this is almost cheating because the Tigers of Sewanee are playing at the Tigers of Trinity (Texas). This game should belong to Trinity, but the best part is that each of these teams are rebounding. Last year, Trinity had its first losing season in roughly two decades; now, they're sitting tied atop the SCAC with an undefeated record. Sewanee on the other hand, has hobbled through a zero-win season and a couple of one-win seasons in recent years. But here, they're not just sitting at 2-3, but they're playing teams competitively. The worst loss was against Washington and Lee, which is coming off a conference-title season. But losses to 5-0 Birmingham-Southern and 2-3 Millsaps have been much closer. Compared with last season, fortunes have smiled on both of these schools.
Keith's take: Tigers. I took a look at some Bears — Bridgewater State has played three close games in a row. I checked out some Lions, but Pat already mentioned Albright. Truth is, Tigers are playing this week's most interesting games, from East Texas Baptist trying to catch No. 19 Louisiana College hung over from its loss at No. 4 Mary Hardin-Baylor, to Hampden-Sydney facing one-time ODAC power Bridgewater and Wittenberg making its trip to Alabama.
Pat's take: Tigers. Bengals, to be specific. Buffalo State has a shot at Kean this week, which is coming off back-to-back weeks of unimpressive performances, at least by Top 25 standards. After struggling the first two weeks offensively, Buffalo State has put it together, thanks in large part to the emergence of running back Rich Pete, who has averaged 104.3 yards rushing the past three games. Recommend punt protection if they're going to upset the Cougars.
Which team needs a win for morale purposes?
Ryan's take: Greensboro. Or, for that matter, their opponent Averett. The two teams have a total record of 1-7, an indicator of the overall struggles that the USA South has encountered this season. But the Pride need this win more because they haven't played any Division III teams close this season. Even being within striking distance of a win will be a morale boost.
Keith's take: Western Connecticut at Morrisville State. Apparently I'm trying to make sure the NJAC is mentioned in response to *every* question … but both of these teams could use a life. The Colonels are in the midst of a fairly inexplicable 15-game losing streak; they've lost three games by 37 or more, yet were 10 points behind 10th-ranked Kean in the fourth quarter. Morrisville lost its first two games, to Hartwick and Montclair State, by a total of four points, but is 0-4 because it doesn't do anything particularly well. The offense is a big culprit, putting up just 14 points per game (210th nationally). Somebody's going to win here, and it's going to be a big lift for some kids who have to be struggling to believe right now.
Pat's take: Aurora. This week's midseason battle with Benedictine for what could be supremacy in the NATHC took a wrong turn for the Spartans with last week's loss to Lakeland. Aurora is still looking for a conference win and is 1-3 overall, where Benedictine at least picked up a win against Concordia (Ill.) after losses to North Park and Kalamazoo, traditionally bottom feeders in the CCIW and MIAA.
Anna Maria · Augsburg · Aurora · Averett · Benedictine · Buffalo State · Cortland State · Delaware Valley · Dubuque · Franklin · Greensboro · Heidelberg · Hobart · Huntingdon · Kean · Monmouth · Montclair State · Morrisville State · Mount Ida · Muskingum · Pacific Lutheran · Ripon · Rose-Hulman · Salisbury · Sewanee · Springfield · Trinity (Texas) · Union · UW-Eau Claire · UW-Oshkosh · Wartburg · Western Connecticut · Whitworth · Wilkes · Wittenberg

As I read this book, I remembered Zig Ziglar's quote "Some of us learn from other people's mistakes and the rest of us have to be other people". Yes, way too many people make repeated financial mistakes especially at the early stage of their lives (when we start earning). The author, KC Lau gave a good thought of what most ordinary individuals especially Malaysians do with their cash, are they making wise decisions and how can they do better. In this book, Top Money Tips for Malaysian, KC Lau provided 24 money tips, which are divided into four categories:
• Smart Money Tips
• Money Making Tips
• Money Saving Tips
• Money Protection Tips
Among the topics covered in this book are on how much money is wasted knowingly or unknowingly due to wrong financial decisions. Some are simply silly but common mistakes made by many people. KC Lau also gave some interesting cash generating ideas and many simple ways to save our hard earned cash. It's totally up to us to pick what works well for ourselves.
The Smart Money Tips section was my particular favorite as the author indeed explained smart tips including getting rich with excessive debt, compound interest, Rule 72 and budget plan. Rule 72 was something new to me and I intend to explore further.
Being an insurance agent himself, it's no surprise that KC Lau allocated a section just to elaborate the insurance policies and options available in the Malaysian market. It was a good read as often times our only source of reference and information are just the insurance agents who may have personal interest in mind.
This book could definitely help many people especially those of you have just started their career to avoid silly but expensive mistakes and start to be thrifty the soonest possible. Like the author emphasized, the earlier you start, the better.
Even though there are many financial self-help books out there, there are way too little written in Malaysians context and KC Lau definitely filled the void.
Top Money Tips for Malaysian was written by a Malaysian for Malaysians. Recently, the book was also published in Bahasa Malaysia (Malay language) as Tip-tip Kewangan Untuk Rakyat Malaysia to reach more local readers.
KC Lau also discusses financial planning and wealth management on a regular basis in his blog – KCLau.com (http://kclau.com/).

I started writing this blog because it's something that I've been wanting to do for years. I've always been an open book, never ashamed of the decisions I've made in life and I love to talk to women who are like me. I've been writing for about 3 months now and Zahara's biological dad has been mentioned in quite a few post.
It's kind of difficult not to mention that situation because it is a part of me but I am ready to let it rest. I would hate to look like K. Michelle or Mimi (Love and Hip Hop Atlanta) or any other woman who seems to be holding on to old baggage. The fact of the matter is Zahara has a dad, his name is Ricardo Lacey (my husband) and that's the end of that. Anyway, I've been working out for the past couple of weeks trying to challenge myself and now I am ready for a new challenge. The challenge of REALLY moving on and letting some old things go. I hope that maybe some of my readers will jump on board and start this challenge with me. Being a single mom will always be a part of me and I will talk about it and help women as long as I live; I just want to take a break from blogging about it. With that being said, please go to the contact section and email me anytime you need to vent about life as a single mom or anything else.
Are you ready for the challenge?

The developer behind Grand Theft Auto V has released two apps to accompany the game.
The first, called 'Grand Theft Auto V: The Manual', is self-explanatory and features a digital version of the game map.
The second allows users to customise their virtual cars and to train a digital Rottweiler who helps or hinders one the characters in the game depending on the user's level of activity in the app.
The description of 'iFruit' appears to poke fun at Apple and the app phenomenon: "Apps can transform your mobile device into essential tools like a harmonica, disco ball or convincing moustache".

Policy & Law
Controversial Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee has survived an assault on his reign over the family-run chaebol. Lee's older brother Maeng-hee had led a group of relatives in legal action against the chairman, asserting that they had a right to stakes in Samsung Group worth a total of 4.1 trillion won, or $3.74 billion. Reuters reports, however, that a Seoul Central District Court judge took Lee Kun-hee's side in the dispute, allowing him to retain his shares. A lawyer for the plaintiffs said "This is a totally unexpected ruling and we'll decide whether to appeal after discussing with our clients," while Lee Kun-hee's lawyers described the outcome as reasonable.
"This is a totally unexpected ruling."
Lee Maeng-hee and sister Sook-hee had sought a quarter of Kun-hee's share in Samsung Life, an insurance company in Samsung Group. The pair argued that they had been willed the shares by their father, Samsung founder Lee Byung-chull, when he died in 1987, but new chairman Lee Kun-hee hid these shares from them. Through allegedly duplicitous shuffling, this allowed him to gain control over Samsung Electronics, which he then turned into the most important and valuable division of the group with an aggressive expansion strategy in the 1990s. His position in court was that, as chairman, he had the authority to transfer shares as he pleased; the Seoul judge ultimately agreed, saying he hoped that "both parties have a happy life together with no quarrels."
A bruising and personal dispute
The family feud isn't just about money — it's a bruising and personal dispute that dates back decades. Lee Kun-hee has said that Maeng-hee was "kicked out" of the family, for example, and severed ties with Sook-hee after she married a man from the Koo family that runs rival chaebol LG. According to Lee Kun-hee, his father said to Sook-hee that she wouldn't receive Samsung stock because of this transgression, which occurred just as the relationship between the company and its rival was souring. LG was the dominant electronics company in South Korea at the time, and Lee Kun-hee believed that it was trying to leverage its family influence to stop Samsung entering the same industry. Lee Maeng-hee, meanwhile, has called Kun-hee "childish" and "greedy," and the dispute reached such a head that the two family factions held separate ancestral memorial services last year.
Balance is essential for Lee to maintain control
The financial wrangling between various subsidiaries of Samsung Group is complex and circuitous, but ultimately centers around the status of Samsung Everland; ostensibly a theme park side venture for Samsung, it's actually a de facto holding company for the group. Lee Kun-hee's stake in Samsung Life, the insurance company, is crucial — if Everland takes a bigger stake in Life than Lee keeps, it's thought that it would cross the threshold for being considered a holding company under Korean law, and Samsung Group would then have to sell off shares. The balance between the varying divisions is therefore essential in order for the Lee dynasty to maintain control of Samsung.
As Korea's richest man, with a personal wealth estimated at $8.3 billion by Forbes, losing this case wouldn't have meant financial ruin for the 71-year-old Lee Kun-hee — nor would it have significantly loosened his grip on Samsung Group. But a ruling against him could have undermined his leadership, with potential implications for his son and successor apparent Lee Jae-yong. In the end, the judge's decision to side with Lee Kun-hee seems likely to secure the status quo at Samsung until the chairman steps down.

T.O. violates league policy by tweeting one hour before game
The league has reason to fine WR Terrell Owens before his Week Five game against the Buccaneers even begins.
Bengals WR Shipley out for Sunday; WR Ochocinco probable
The Bengals have ruled out rookie WR Jordan Shipley for Sunday's game against the Bucs. Shipley suffered a concussion in Week Four after a hit from Browns S T.J. Ward.
Bengals' ground game off-stride
Through one-quarter of the season, the Bengals were still searching for answers for their running game.
T.O. proves he can still excel in right situation
The circumstances set up perfectly for Bengals WR Terrell Owens in Sunday's contest, and he responded with a vintage outing.
Brown hold on for 23-20 win over Bengals
The Browns finally held on to a fourth-quarter lead, surviving a big day by Terrell Owens for their first win, 23-20 over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Bengals' passing game off to slow start
The Bengals' passing game is again trying to find its rhythm, even after several offseason moves made with an eye on the attack hitting the high notes of old.
Bengals pull away to beat Panthers 20-7
Cedric Benson scored a pair of TDs in the Bengals' 20-7 victory over the Panthers on Sunday to spoil Jimmy Clausen's first NFL start.
PK Nugent hitting his stride again
In PK Mike Nugent, Bengals special-teams coach Darrin Simmons sees someone driven to recapture his past form.
Nugent kicks Bengals past Baltimore
Mike Nugent made a career-high five kicks, two of them in the closing minutes Sunday, and Cincinnati's up-to-the-challenge defense made it hold up for a 15-10 victory over the Ravens.
Bengals avoid blackout for home opener
The Bengals announced Thursday that they have avoided a blackout for Sunday's home opener against the Ravens. The game has been declared a sellout.
Bengals' pass rush disappoints, remains area to watch
The Bengals, who notched at least one sack in 14-of-16 regular-season games last season, didn't record a sack in Week One in a humbing loss to New England, raising concerns about their pass rush.
Palmer-to-Ocho still the connection in Cincy
When Terrell Owens signed with the Bengals this offseason, he and Chad Ochocinco deemed themselves "Batman and Robin." But in Week One, it was the Boy Wonder who outshined the Caped Crusader.
Brady, Welker produce as Pats beat Bengals 38-24
Tom Brady threw two of his three touchdown passes to Wes Welker, who returned from a serious knee injury, and led the New England Patriots to a 38-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Bengals DE Odom appealing four-game suspension
Bengals DE Antwan Odom admitted on his Twitter page that he has tested positive for a banned substance but that he is appealing the league-mandated four-game suspension.
Ohio senator asks Goodell to reconsider blackout policy
Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown wrote a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asking him to reconsider the league's blackout policy.
The Bengals have re-signed reserve running back Bernard Scott, who missed all but two games last season because of injuries.||||||| The sixth-round draft pick from 2009 has started three games during his four seasons in Cincinnati. Last year, he suffered a hand injury during preseason, then an ankle injury that resulted in him going on the injured reserve list on Oct. 8. He carried eight times for 35 yards in his two games.
Scott will miss the rest of the season with an injured left knee suffered Sunday.||||||| Scott got hurt during a 17-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins when the leg bent awkwardly as he was tackled. He later rode a stationary bicycle on the sideline, hoping to go back into the game. The Bengals filled his spot by activating linebacker Dontay Moch, who was suspended the first four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Defensive end Carlos Dunlap (sprained right knee) and Scott are active for the first time this season.||||||| Scott missed the first two games with a broke right hand.
Scott has waited two years to get this chance. The shifty running back will be a focus of the Cincinnati Bengals' offense Sunday in Seattle, taking over for suspended starter Cedric Benson. It'll be his first featured appearance since he started two games as a rookie in 2009.||||||| The question is how much the Bengals (4-2) will change their running game on Sunday in Seattle (2-4), where the crowd is loud and rookie quarterback Andy Dalton will rely on Scott instead of Benson to control the ball. Benson is serving a one-game suspension for violating the NFL's conduct policy. He spent five days in a Texas prison settling two misdemeanor assault cases before the season started. The Bengals expect him back next week for a game at Tennessee.
Scott started Sunday against Cleveland in place of Cedric Benson, who is inactive for the game.||||||| Scott made his first NFL start last Sunday in Oakland and ran for 119 yards in a 20-17 loss to the Raiders.

A kick off meeting was held Monday evening to provide information about the project to school staff and community members. At the meeting were Phil LaSarre, with Nunn Construction; Adele Willson, with SlaterPaull Architects; and Dick Huwa, with RLH Engineering, who is serving as owner's representative for the school district.
Total cost of the project is more than $6 million. Approximately 49 percent of that, $3.25 million, is coming from a Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) grant from the Colorado Department of Education. The district will pay for the other $3.3 million through a bond.
The project will include the addition of an 8,000 square foot junior high wing with six classrooms – math, science, English and social studies classrooms, as well as a computer lab and resource room.
There will also be renovations to the elementary, including replacement of the electrical system, the addition of air conditioning to that unit, upgrades to classroom technology and the addition of a fire sprinkler system to the entire building.
Additionally, the freezer that's sitting outside the kitchen right now will be enclosed and security at the main entrance to the building will be improved.
Willson said the goal is work on the design and drawings for the project until April 1, which would allow construction to begin June 1. They hope to have most of the elementary renovations complete by the time school resumes, but the junior high addition probably won't be finished until sometime later in the fall.
She noted the district is considering starting classes a little later in the fall to allow more time for the construction phase.
LaSarre said they will probably have about 60 or 70 people working on the project at its peak, which will be towards the end of July, "when we are wrapping up a good chunk of the interior remodel stuff, but also getting going hot and heavy on the addition."
Right now there is very minimal work going on at the school. They're just doing things like figuring out where to put the heat pump system, drilling holes to check soil and doing more surveying to add topographic information to the survey.
At some point in the near future they may also have to do some exploratory work on drains that are currently plugged up.
Anyone that comes to do work while school is still in session will have to check in.
Huwa talked about the design advisory group the district has created. There are about 17 people in the group, which is made up of Board of Education members, teachers, administrators, community members and students. They're helping to come up with the design for the project.
The group will report to the school board on a regular basis.
Some of the goals the group has come up with include creating 21st century educational spaces, trying to give the middle school more of an identity than it has now, using the hallways for learning, doing any of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) upgrades that can be done, keeping the community involved and staying on budget.
During Monday evening's meeting there was discussion about a goal of improving school security. The conversation focused around the need to find a balance between ensuring school safety and having a welcoming school.
LaSarre shared that as the architect continues to work on the drawings there will be a job fair to look for local subcontractors to help on the project.
Individuals and firms who want to be a part of the project will be invited, they will be walked through the project and a list of those interested in working on the project will be put together. Then LaSarre said they will "start to figure out what's the best way that we can incorporate as much local participation as possible."
He pointed out that individuals are easier to hire then firms.
"When it gets down to firms it gets a little more difficult, because then you have to evaluate how much work can they handle, what size of scope is that? And what's their man power? What's their financial status? We don't want to bring on somebody that's a big risk to the project," LaSarre explained.
They will also be looking at "can we team up those smaller contractors with larger firms? Can we divide some of the scope?"
The meeting also included discussion about giving students an opportunity to learn from those working on the project.
"If you've got kids that are interested in being architects or engineers we'd like to come talk to some of the classes," Willson said, adding that LaSarre will do the same for students interested in construction. "Again, we're going have mechanical and electrical engineers up here and civil engineer and structural engineer, so we'd like to take advantage of teaching the kids a little bit about that."
LaSarre said they may also offer some job tours as the project is ongoing, "walk (students) through what's happening and what's the next steps and those type of things."
As the project continues there will progress reports posted on the district's website, www.haxtunschools.com.

Americans may one day be able to visit a kiosk for prescription medications instead of relying solely on a doctor. Although it may sound farfetched, it's no longer only a "what-if" scenario. In fact, the FDA held a two-day hearing in March, where it heard from a variety of stakeholders on the public health implications of such a decision.
Doctors, pharmacists, researchers and educators debated nearly every issues associated with the development, deployment and adoption of prescription drug kiosks. Specifically, stakeholders gave opinions on who should cover the cost of the kiosks, if kiosks would save on or add to health care costs, how to ensure that Americans safely diagnose themselves using the kiosks, how to regulate the dispensing of the medication and how to bill patients.
Despite a lot of discussion, none of those questions ended with black-and-white answers. The hearing was basically the first step in a long process, said Yolanda A. Fultz-Morris of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Its purpose was to learn the best ways to implement a prescription drug kiosk program "under conditions of safe use intended to ensure appropriate use by consumers, and the potential benefits and costs of this type of approach," she said. "FDA is reviewing testimony from the hearing and comments submitted to the public docket for the hearing to inform its decision-making on whether or how to implement conditions of safe use approach to making drugs available without a prescription. Stakeholder input is vital to this process and FDA."
The FDA would not say what the next step in the process is or if there were a timeline in place, so it's anyone's guess as to how long it could take before the government has a handle on the issue. One thing is certain, however: The kiosk industry supports the idea, saying that the technology would help reduce health care costs and make it easier for a wide range of consumers to receive medical services.
"This is a very good use of a kiosk design," according to Ron Bowers, SVP, Business Development, for Frank Mayer & Associates.
"For this specific conundrum as to the specific health safety issues of some very specific, consumer drug categories, I leave that to the FDA and their due diligence," he said. "However, to the ability to bring consumers improved patient access to healthful care, reduce the burdens of an overburdened health care system and to reduce Health care costs, this is a solution that is going to have a very positive impact on the consumer experience."
A prescription drug kiosk could be another way to bring a solid health care experience to the masses, said Bart Foster, CEO of SoloHealth, a company that this week earned FDA approval for its next-generation SoloHealth Station, an interactive, comprehensive health and wellness screening kiosk for consumers.
"We support anything that can be done to streamline health care costs or anything that empowers consumers to take care of themselves," he said. "We have to find ways to reduce health care costs."
Foster sees the kiosks as an extension of medical triage. For example, just as people with colds don't need to go to the ER, they might now visit a kiosk in a pharmacy instead of a doctor's office.
"I think the FDA is recognizing that technology can play a role and educate consumers about products," he said.
What do you think? How can the FDA regulate such a complicated issue? Who should fund the kiosks, and how can the FDA ensure consumers follow safe practices when diagnosing themselves? What kinds of design elements must be present for such a kiosk to function as needed? Leave your comments below.

Authorities say a device found under a car at a Marana restaurant over the weekend was a bomb.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says the device found Sunday under a car at a Hooters restaurant was an improvised explosives device.
Police were called late Sunday afternoon by an unidentified Tucson man who spotted the device after leaving the restaurant and returning to his car.
Police evacuated 200 people from the restaurant and a nearby bowling alley while they investigated. The Pima County regional bomb squad then neutralized the device.
Bureau spokesman Tom Manigan says the device has been sent to a bureau laboratory for detailed analysis, including DNA testing.
No arrests have been made.

This Ash Wednesday you can get your ashes to go thanks to St. David's Episcopal Church. The church is expanding the program by adding a second location and additional hours.
The idea of offering ashes without attending an actual service started in 2007 at a church in St. Louis. Now churches across the country offer ashes to go or drive-thru options for people wishing to observe the day.
St. David's will offer ashes to commuters or people who may not have the time or inclination to observe the day. It's a way the church says it can take faith to everyday places.
Priests will be at 6th and Congress and 6th and Lamar from 8 am to 9 am and 11:30 am to 1 pm.
Revelers celebrated Mardi Gras on 6th street Tuesday night. Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday. Traditionally, it's the last day for overindulgence before Ash Wednesday and weeks of fasting that come with lent.
According to a watch commander with the Austin Police Department there were no major incidents along 6th street. Sgt. Glen Kreger with APD was posted at House Park Tuesday night. He says between the hours of 9 pm and 5 am officers arrested 15 people suspected of drinking and driving.

A couple of weeks ago, I ordered a black and white maxi skirt from Jane.com. Last weekend, I received a black and grey maxi skirt. I was a bit disappointed but as a busy Mom, I just thought it will have to do. The good news was the material was great and the fit was great too. Two out of three isn't bad these days. I was originally thinking that the yellow necklace, also purchased from Jane, would look nice with the black and white contrast. The yellow necklace still works with the black and grey and it was a steal for$7.99.
I have been eyeing these type of skirts for awhile. Such an effortless outfit for a Mom in the summertime. If you have a maxi skirt, tank and necklace you have an instant outfit for summertime fun.
