Raiders cut veteran Kevin Burnett
- Updated: July 24, 2014
On the wrong side of time, nursing an injury with prospects at the helm, the Oakland Raiders released Kevin Burnett according to Vic Tafur.
#Raiders cut LB Kevin Burnett
— Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) July 24, 2014
Burnett, a 10-year NFL veteran who will turn 32 in December, signed a two-year, $5.25 million contract in 2013. The outside linebacker suffered an ankle injury in OTAs earlier this summer.
Last year Burnett more than held his own, producing 83 solo tackles and forcing three fumbles in 16 weakside starts, but his pass coverage left more to be desired. Burnett's future with the Raiders was already up in the air following the drafting of Khalil Mack and the development of Sio Moore and Miles Burris. Eight-year veteran Nick Roach has the starting Mike position to himself.
While Burnett will miss sharing a locker room with his younger brother Kaelin Burnett, he shouldn't worry about his work appeal. The former San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins defender is being linked to the Dallas Cowboys, who drafted him in the second round in 2005, and the Buffalo Bills, who also need linebacking help.

George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four to get first time radio adaptation
Tuesday 22 January 2013
George Orwell's classic Nineteen Eighty-Four is to be dramatised by BBC radio for the first time - almost 70 years after the writer worked at the corporation's Broadcasting House, which partly inspired his tale.
The author, who is to be celebrated in a season of programmes on Radio 4, based the book's torture area, Room 101, on a meeting room in the building that he remembered from his time at the BBC.
The adaptation of his dystopian novel will star Christopher Eccleston as the central character Winston Smith and will be broadcast in two parts next month.
Nineteen Eighty-Four - published in 1949 - has been brought to life on numerous occasions, including a celebrated movie starring John Hurt, released the year it was actually set. It has also been a BBC TV series in 1954 and two years later a British movie starring Edmond O'Brien and Michael Redgrave.
Yet despite its status as the home of radio drama, Radio 4 has not adapted it until now, although it was parodied in a sitcom, Nineteen Ninety-Four.
Orwell - the pen name of Eric Blair, who died 63 years ago yesterday - worked at the BBC's Broadcasting House in central London during the 1940s and recalled it being "a cross between a girls' school and a lunatic asylum".
The new dramatisation of Nineteen Eighty-Four, which also stars Pippa Nixon and Tim Piggott-Smith, will begin on February 10.
It is part of a season of programmes, called The Real George Orwell, devoted to the writer and his work. They include a dramatisation of Animal Farm, featuring Tamsin Greig and Toby Jones, and adaptations of Homage To Catalonia, Burma and Down And Out In Paris And London.

Balotelli fury at King Kong cartoon slur in Italian newspaper
Unfunny: Mario Balotelli was personified as King Kong in the offensive Gazzetta cartoon
Mario Balotelli has found himself at the centre of a new race row, this time sparked by a deeply offensive cartoon depicting him as King Kong in a leading Italian newspaper.
On the morning of Italy's European Championship encounter with England, Gazzetta dello Sport published a drawing of a giant Balotelli atop Big Ben swatting away footballs in the same way King Kong did aircrafts atop New York's Empire State Building in the film.
The Balotelli camp was understood to be outraged by the cartoon and Gazzetta have issued an apology.
'It wasn't our cartoonist's best product. In these times we need a bit more moderation, caution and good taste. But we have always fought against racism and condemned booing against Balotelli as unacceptable,' said the Milan-based newspaper.
A spokesman for the anti-racism organisation Kick It Out said: 'Mario is such an important person in Italian football.
'Aspiring players in Italy who want to follow in his footsteps could wonder what support they will have when they get to his level when they see cartoons like that.
'It is not the first time we have seen this sort of depiction of Mario and we think the media have a responsibility. How do they think they can portray him like that?'
Journalists in Italy were horrified. Luigi Garlando said: 'It is an unfortunate cartoon. It is hard to defend the right of satire against censorship in this case and I would never have allowed it in my newspaper.'
Time to focus: Balotelli and Italy will take on Germany in the Euro 2012 semi-final
Balotelli, now preparing for Thursday's semi-final against Germany in Warsaw, said before Euro 2012 that he would walk off the pitch if he was racially abused.
On Tuesday UEFA also opened disciplinary proceedings against the Spanish football federation and the Russian football union for alleged racist behaviour and chanting by fans.
European football's governing body fined the Croatian football federation €30,000 after supporters threw fireworks and displayed 'inappropriate and racist banners' during a match against Spain. It was Croatia's second racism-related sanction of the tournament.
In Krakow the focus for the Italians remained on trying to do to Germany what they did to England on Sunday night in Kiev.
Andrea Pirlo, the architect of England's destruction, appeared before the media and had few words of encouragement for Roy Hodgson's beaten quarter-finalists.
Charged: Meanwhile, UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Spanish Russian FA's over the behaviour of their fans
'Our approach to the game against Germany will be the same as against England,' he said. 'This is because it is the only way we can play. We have to take advantage of our quality, our technique. But, unlike England, Germany can create many threats to our defence.
'England played a very prudent and careful way. They were sitting back all match, like Chelsea did in the Champions League final. They tried to keep that same shape. For them, going to the penalty shootout was already a good result.'
Pirlo said his stunning chip penalty was a key moment in the game because it was a huge psychological blow to England.
'I didn't celebrate the penalty because at that point there was nothing to celebrate,' he said. 'But it was really relevant to the match and our win. This changed the course of the match.
'For me, Joe Hart seemed to be very confident in himself and it seemed to be a psychological blow. I needed to do something to beat him. Penalties are a very personal thing.
'When you have to shoot a penalty you have to be confident in yourself.'

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

48 Hours In: Hong Kong
In association with Emirates
Saturday 23 April 2005
Old and new sit side by side as incense wafts out of temples sandwiched between skyscrapers. Cathy Packe visits a Chinese cracker of a city.
Hong Kong is buzzing again. There are constant new developments in the city, from the opening of Disney on Lantau later in the year to the ongoing redevelopment of the waterfront area.
You can fly non-stop from Heathrow to Hong Kong with British Airways (0870 850 9850; www.ba.com); Cathay Pacific (020-8834 8888; www.cathaypacific.com); Qantas (0845 774 7767; www.qantas.com.au); and Virgin Atlantic (0870 380 2007; ( www.virgin-atlantic.com). Emirates (0870 243 2222; www.emirates.com) flies from Gatwick, Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow via Dubai. The Airport Express rail link (00 852 2881 8888; www.hongkongairport.com) connects Chek Lap Kok airport to the city centre. Fares cost HK$100 (£6.75) to the terminus (1) on Hong Kong island.
Hong Kong consists of a peninsula jutting out into the South China Sea that is fringed by more than 260 islands. Kowloon occupies the southern end of the peninsula, and its tip, Tsim Sha Tsui, is popular with visitors for its museums, hotels and shops. Across the harbour it faces Hong Kong Island, hub of the former British colony. It is dominated by Victoria Peak; on the north shore is the business district, known as Central, and a couple of miles east, the livelier district of Causeway Bay.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board (00 852 2508 1234; www.discoverkongkong.com) has offices in the Causeway Bay MTR station (2), and at the Star Ferry Terminal in Kowloon (3), which both open 8am-8pm daily.
Getting around the island - and between it and the mainland - is easy, thanks to the city's efficient public transport system, consisting of an underground, the Mass Transit Railway or MTR; the trams; and the Star Ferry (00 852 2367 7065; www.starferry.com.hk), whose boats shuttle between the terminals in Central (4) and Kowloon (3) from 6.30am until 11.30pm every day. The nine-minute journey costs HK$2.20 (15p).
Long-established as one of Hong Kong's luxury hotels, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel (5) at 5 Connaught Road (00 852 2522 0111; www.mandarinoriental.com) has rooms from HK$2,000 (£74).
Contrast modern Hong Kong with the old, oriental city by exploring the district of Sheung Wa. Start in Millennium Plaza (8), a typical small urban park dominated by tall buildings and a video screen showing the latest share prices to passers-by. But off here is Wing Lok Street, lined with traditional noodle restaurants, ginseng shops and stores selling dried fish. Carry on past the Sheung Wan market (9) and along Bonham Strand West, taking a detour into Ko Shing Street, where the stores sell herbal medicines. Back in Hollywood Road modern life resumes. This is the oldest street in the city, and on the left-hand side, the park (10) is on the site of Possession Point, where the Royal Navy planted the British flag in 1841. Close by is Man Mo temple (11) (00 852 2803 2916), built in 1847 and dominated by the smell of incense.
Turn off Hollywood Road into Graham Street, and, just before the bottom, turn into Stanley Street (12) and order a meal at one of the small restaurants, known as dai pai dongs, set up along the street. A plate of rice and a stir-fry is around HK$25 (£1.70). Or grab a sandwich at Cafe Landmark (00 852 2526 4200) on level one of the Landmark Centre (13).
The Museum of Art (14) at 10 Salisbury Road (00 852 2721 0116; www.lcsd.gov.hk/hkma) is the largest museum in the city, and has one of the best collections of Chinese fine arts in the world. Open 10am-6pm daily except Thursday, admission HK$10 (70p) - and free on Wednesdays.
The latest shopping mall is Two ifc, the tallest building in the International Financial Centre (15) on the Central Waterfront. Check out the Lane Crawford department store which opens 10am-9pm daily. It has a small but cool martini bar (00 852 2118 7600) in the menswear department. Elsewhere look out for branches of G.O.D., selling home furnishings and clothing. The largest is at the Leighton Centre on Sharp Street East (00 852 2541 1118; www.god.com.hk) (16), which opens noon-10pm daily. For electronic goods, visit branches of either Fortress or Broadway. There is one of each in the Harbour City complex (00 852 2118 8666; www.harbourcity.com.hk) (17) in Kowloon.
Follow the crowds, the lights or the music to find your way to Lan Kwai Fong. Currently in vogue is Stormy Weather (18).
The hottest place in town is Isola (00 852 2383 8765; www.isolabarandgrill.com), in Two ifc (15), which has caught the vogue for alfresco dining. Across the water, with superb views, is Hutong (19) at 1 Peking Road (00 852 3428 8342; www.aqua.com.hk), which serves traditional Chinese dishes with a modern twist.
Take the green MTR line to Wong Tai Sin and visit the temple, which is next to the station and clearly signposted. It is dedicated to the god of gamblers, which might account for its popularity. Around the edge of the complex are several dozen booths containing fortune tellers who will read your palm for HK$300 (£20). More traditionally, there are services every morning and throughout Sunday at St John's Cathedral (20) at 4-8 Garden Road (00 852 2523 4157; www.stjohnscathedral.org.hk), the oldest Anglican church in the Far East.
If the weather is clear, take the Peak Tram (00 852 2522 0922; www.thepeak.com.hk) from its base station at 33 Garden Road (21) to the top of the Victoria Peak, 400m above sea level. The tram operates every 10-15 minutes from 7am-midnight daily, and costs HK$20 (£1.35) single, HK$30 (£2) return. If you fancy some exercise, there are some well-marked walking trails back down to the city.
The Peak Lookout restaurant at 121 Peak Road (00 852 2849 1000; www.peaklookout.com.hk) just opposite the Peak tram's upper station offers breakfast on the terrace at weekends and on bank holidays from 8.30-11.30am. Expect to pay HK$89 (£6) for an Asian noodle breakfast. But dim sum is to the Chinese what brunch is to the Americans, and one of the most traditional places to try these sweet and savoury dumplings is in Happy Valley. Dim Sum, at 63 Sing Woo Road (00 852 2834 8893), opens 11am-4.30pm and 6-10pm at weekends, from 11am on weekdays.
Hong Kong Park (00 852 2521 5041; www.lcsd.gov.hk) (22) is a small haven in the frenzied urban environment of Central district. With the striking Bank of China Tower looming above, this is a popular spot for wedding photographs to be taken.
Try out Hong Kong's most unusual form of transport, the Mid-Levels Escalator. Designed to take commuters between Central and the residential district of Mid-Levels, it starts opposite Central Market (18) and ends up on Conduit Road, by means of moving staircases and walkways. The whole journey takes 20 minutes, and the escalator operates downwards from 6am-10am and upwards from 10.15am-midnight every day.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Even though millions of dollars in cuts have forced Regional Transit officials to make cuts across the board, including dozens of security officers, certain crimes are actually becoming less common.
Officials are crediting the drop in part to volunteers that have stepped up to keep an eye on public transportation.
Sacramento RT has suffered through about $3 million in cuts since 2008, leading to a 20 percent drop in service routes and the elimination of about 60 deputies, police officers and security guards.
Frequent RT rider Donna Miller says the changes have been noticeable and that some criminals have acted boldly since the cuts.
"As a group, they will just choose to pick on somebody sometimes," she said.
One of the biggest security problems on Regional Transit, robberies, have dropped from 91 incidents in 2009 to just 71 last year.
In RT Police Services' yearly update to the board on Monday, the security program's volunteers were given some of the credit for the positive result. About 20 uniformed, non-sworn volunteers are managed by the Sacramento Police Department.
"It basically makes the community feel safe on the bus and light rail," said volunteer Mike Mantsch.
RT police said they hope to fund an expansion of the program with the threat of more budget cuts looming.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.Tweet Widget Facebook Like US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton should urge Morocco's new chief of government Abdelilah Benkirane to lead the process of revising laws that impose prison terms for peaceful expression. Clinton should also urge Moroccan authorities to free leading journalist Rachid Nini, who is serving a one-year sentence for articles he wrote. (Washington, DC) - US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton should urge Morocco's new chief of government Abdelilah Benkirane to lead the process of revising laws that impose prison terms for peaceful expression, Human Rights Watch said today. Clinton should also urge Moroccan authorities to free leading journalist Rachid Nini, who is serving a one-year sentence for articles he wrote. On July 1, Moroccan voters approved a new constitution that contains strong affirmations of human rights, including freedom of expression and of the press. On July 29, Clinton welcomed the referendum "as an important step toward democratic reform." However, Moroccan authorities continue to punish critical speech by applying the many repressive provisions of the press and penal code that seem to be incompatible with the spirit of the new constitution. "Having praised Morocco's 2011 constitution, Secretary Clinton should now urge authorities to revise both laws and practices so that they are in harmony with that constitution," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director of Human Rights Watch. Among the laws that violate both the spirit of the new constitution and Morocco's obligations under article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is the press code's article 41, which provides prison terms of up to five years for speech that "undermines the Islamic religion, the monarchical regime, or [Morocco's] territorial integrity," or that is offensive toward "His Majesty the King, and the royal princes and princesses." Article 263 of the penal code provides prison terms for "gravely offending" public officials. Article 266 provides prison terms for "insulting" the judiciary or discrediting its rulings or attempting to influence the courts. Rachid Nini is currently serving a one-year sentence on these and other charges related to his columns in al-Masa' newspaper. Human rights activist Chekib el-Khayari served most of a three-year sentencefor "gravely insulting state institutions," also under penal code article 263, after he accused certain Moroccan officials of complicity in narcotics trafficking. Authorities pardoned el-Khayari last year. Articles such as these seem to contradict the constitution's affirmation in article 25 that "freedom of thought, opinion and expression in all its forms is guaranteed," and in article 28 that "Press freedom is guaranteed and cannot be restricted by any form of prior censorship." In addition, authorities continue to prosecute several Moroccans for having distributed fliers in November 2011 urging a boycott of the legislative elections held that month. "The constitution raised the bar high on human rights," said Whitson. "What's needed now is the political will to apply its principles to closing down the repressive legal arsenal that authorities use to curb critical expression."

Where have all the woodlands gone?
Britain was once covered in trees. But today natural forests occupy a tiny proportion of our land area.
Saturday 25 May 1996
The demise of Sherwood is, in microcosm, what has happened countrywide. After the last Ice Age, Britain was almost covered in woodland; mixed broadleaved forest in the lowlands; pine, birch and oak in the uplands; and alder on wetter land. Felling for timber, clearing land for farming and other development has reduced Britain's natural broadleaved woodlands to around 300,000 hectares - just 1 per cent of our land area.
Planted broadleaved woods - some with trees native to Britain, others not - cover an additional 2 per cent. Planted conifers, mostly using tree species such as spruces and pines from North America, take the total area under trees in Britain to around 10 per cent. Most European countries average 25-30 per cent.
Woodland is not simply a collection of trees. Natural woods - such as the hillside oakwoods of Snowdonia and the beechwoods of the Chilterns - are home to a cornucopia of plants and animals. Planted woods, especially those comprising trees not native to Britain, can't compete.
On acid soils, birch, oak and rowan often dominate our native woods, with hazel and holly in the understorey. On more rich, alkaline soils, ash often dominates with wych elm, wild cherry, hornbeam and field maple. Yew woods are the only native conifer-dominated woodland south of Scotland.
The trees themselves provide a habitat for lichens, mosses, liverworts and even some ferns to grow on. A ground layer of grasses, ferns, and flowers including, in many woods, a springtime flower show of bluebells, wood anenomes and wood sorrel, is typical of most lowland woods. In the wetter west and north of Britain, a plethora of mosses, some of them rare, can carpet boulders and tree boles.
Add to this the huge number of invertebrates - from ants to bees and butterflies - and woodland birds including a plethora of warblers and tree specialists such as woodpeckers, and it isn't surprising that native broadleaved woods are our richest habitats.
According to the panel of experts comprising the UK Steering Group on biodiversity, 46 woodland species, mostly invertebrates and plants, have become extinct over the last century, while a further 78 are in rapid decline. Considering that our native woodland is now a remnant of what there once was, it's surprising, perhaps, that we haven't lost more.
While many of our woods are simply left as nature intended, others have a long history of management which has altered their structure, their wildlife, even the trees which stand sentinel within. Stour Wood in Essex, owned by the Woodland Trust but managed by the RSPB, is a good example. "It's a sweet chestnut coppice with some trees cut down to their stumps every 15 or 20 years to encourage the growth of slender, dense poles," says the warden, Russell Leavett. "Other chestnuts are allowed to grow to their full height."
Historically the poles were used to make fencing and sheep hurdles while the large timber was used to build ships. It's an ancient practice to which the wood's wildlife has been adapted for centuries. So the RSPB reintroduced Stour Wood's traditional management, starting again in 1984 after a 12-year gap.
"In 1983 there were only nine pairs of warblers in the wood," says Mr Leavett. "By 1994 there were 69 pairs - and nightingales have increased from none to four pairs." Butterflies, such as the white admiral - here in its only Essex location - and other insects have also benefitted.
In other parts of Britain woods are over used. In the upland areas of Wales, for instance, oak woods are often grazed by sheep, preventing young trees from growing up, and eliminating many of the forest shrubs.
But the trend is being reversed. Coed Cymru - a partnership of Forest Authority, Countryside Council for Wales, Local Authorities and Farming Unions - has brought 7,000 hectares of Welsh woods into management since 1985. Fencing to prevent livestock access has been a priority as is the creation of markets for Welsh wood products so that farmers have an incentive to look after their woods and manage them sustainably.
In other parts of Britain similar initiatives, both to manage existing woodlands and to plant new ones, are underway. Grants for tree planting and for the rehabilitation of existing woodland are available throughout Britain from the government's Forest Authority.
Many new woods - albeit on a small scale to begin with - are being planted near towns and cities, an initiative which will, hopefully, increase public understanding of the wonders a woodland has on offer. The Woodland Trust, recently awarded over pounds 6 million from the Millenium Commission for its Woods on your Doorstep project, has been seeking suggestions for sites to plant its first 200 new woods.
Austin Brady, Project Director for the Sherwood Forest initiative, is keen on expansion, too. "We might be able to buy land if our fund raising is successful enough but we will also help local communities nearby to plant trees," he says.
Mr Brady's problem is that the vegetable and crop growing land around Sherwood is valued at up to pounds 6,000 a hectare, financially virtually out of reach for tree planting. Nearby derelict land from coal mining might be more practical. And some conifer plantations around will slowly be converted back to broadleaved forest. Very slowly, because planted trees may take centuries before they develop the richness of wildlife a natural forest possesses, Britain is regaining some of its long lost wooded landscapes.
Life after death
In a natural forest, nearly half the timber is in various stages of decomposition. Standing dead trees, fallen branches and rotting stumps are all home to an enormous array of fungi and wood boring insects. Ironically, dead wood in a forest is its richest wildlife habitat.
A fifth of our insects survive only on dead wood. This army of little rotters includes wasp-mimicking flies, longhorn beetles, click beetles, hornets, robber flies and weevils. Meanwhile, hundreds of colourful fungi devour nothing other than dead wood. White, fan-shaped funnels of Angels Wings grow on rotting conifers, while the yellow-brown gregarious elf cap prefers oak stumps.
But forest life from the dead isn't what it was. Foresters have been obsessed with tidiness, so dying trees and fallen branches are removed. The rotters are dying out as a result. "Around 40 per cent of wood-rotting insect species are threatened with extinction Europe-wide," says Dr Martin Speight, an expert on them.
The large, metallic bronze hoverfly, Callicera spinolae, is one such casualty. Now rare Europe-wide, it was once found in at least seven East Anglian woods. Other creatures are also suffering. Many forest birds - from warblers to woodpeckers - feed on insects, including wood-rotting ones. Slowly decaying old trees, now in short supply, provide roost holes for owls and for greater horseshoe bats, one of several species of bat in decline.
According to Dr Speight, protecting existing forests containing old trees and dead wood is a priority but woodland management attitudes everywhere need to change so that dead timber is viewed as an asset and not as a nuisance.
Return of the Scottish pinewood
A few thousand years ago, Scots Pine forests clothed perhaps 1.5 million hectares of the Scottish Highlands. Today a paltry 16,000 hectares survive in widely scattered fragments. Even some of these are not guaranteed to survive. They are grazed by red deer or sheep, preventing young trees from growing up to provide the forest of the future.
Scots Pine forests can be magical places. Thickets of shrubs (including juniper, blueberry and crowberry) with taller aspen and holly cover the craggy ground between the tall pines, birches and rowans.
The only bird species confined to Britain - the Scottish crossbill - is a pine-wood specialist. Around 1,500 of these colourful birds (the male is red) survive. This is the haunt, too, of the capercaillie, a goose- sized grouse. It is declining in numbers for a wide variety of reasons which may include disturbance and changes in vegetation caused by too much grazing. Just over two thousand capers grace these northern forests.
Among the rare pine-wood plants is the twinflower, with its pairs of blushed pink flowers. Scottish Natural Heritage hopes to grow it from seed and then restore it successfully to pinewoods from which it has been lost.
Felling of native pine-woods is banned. Advice and grants are available from the Forestry Authority for planting new Scots pine-woods and for fencing existing ones to allow them to regenerate by keeping deer and sheep at bay. An Action Plan which involves protecting and maintaining their remaining 16,000 hectares, and regenerating and planting a further 36,000 hectares over the next couple of decades, at a cost of around pounds 250,000 a year has been put to government.

Updated On: Apr 17 2012 05:14:43 PM CDT
The new Focus Electric will make its debut April 28 at Richmond.
"Highlighting the Focus Electric as a pace car is a fun way to educate consumers about the kinds of benefits our electrified vehicles deliver and show people our commitment to provide Ford customers the power of choice for leading fuel economy in the vehicle that best meets their needs," Mark Fields, president of Ford's Americas division, said Monday.
The car will make its first public appearance at the Virginia state Capitol on April 25.
Ford was also the first to use a hybrid vehicle as pace car when the Fusion Hybrid led the field at Homestead in 2008.

A.J. McCarron Says He Believes He "Is The Best Player In The Nation"
A.J. McCarron has always come across as a pretty humble guy. Today at SEC Media Days, he repeatedly stated how he is very proud that he's never brought shame on his family name and his school, and he wants his Alabama legacy to be that he was a guy "who did things the right way." Additionally, McCarron indicated last night that he'd rather be at home preparing for next season than appearing at awards shows such as the ESPYs — he's just not about individual attention.
A.J. McCarron says he turned down tons of appearances in offseason. "My job is playing football, not being a celebrity off the field."
— Chris Vannini (@CoachingBuzz) July 18, 2013
However, he did make a pretty bold statement this afternoon. Not only does he think his team is the best in the nation (tough to argue), but he also believes that he is the best player in the nation:
McCarron: I'm always confident. I think I'm the best player in the country on that field. That is going to be a fun offense to watch this yr
— Derek Steyer (@DerekSteyer) July 18, 2013
A.J. McCarron is the best player in college football. He has 25 wins, 2 losses, 3 BCS National Championships under his belt. #Heisman
— Evan Wilkinson (@evanwilkinson7) July 18, 2013
McCarron has often been described as a "game manager" throughout his career, but his resume is getting awfully impressive. Most people won't agree that he's the best player in the nation, but he may be the most accomplished right now.
Also interesting to note is that the SEC media voters didn't even vote him as the best quarterback in the conference for the upcoming season.

|tribuss and mood swings
Jan 7, 2013
my husband is on tribuss for over a month. Does it cause mood swings. Sometimes he prefers not to talk to me and if I initiate a conversation he does not speak well.
| Response from Dr. Henry
Tribuss (Atripla in US) contains efavirenz that can result in some persistent central nervous system side effects such as bad dreams,problems sleeping, cloudy thinking, and others. Suggest discussing with your husband and encouraging him to also discuss with his HIV provider. KH
