I spent four hours one day last week trying to clean motor oil off a patient whose owner had tried to use the slick substance to kill
mange. It was a fundamentally bad idea — and not just because motor oil is probably more dangerous to dogs than it is to mange mites. Turns out the poor
dog wasn't even infected with mange in the first place.
Every once in a while, I have to treat a patient whose owner's best intentions, coupled with a disregard for modern veterinary medicine, have combined to produce a spectacularly bad medical crisis — like these eight unfortunate scenarios.
I've seen owners try lots of interesting oral "drenches" for poisonings, like pouring a mixture of olive oil and milk down the ailing pet's throat to force vomiting. In one notable instance, a patient who'd just bitten a bufo toad arrived thoroughly drenched in this concoction. Unfortunately, his lungs had been drenched, too, and he later died of aspiration pneumonia.
Where should I begin? The motor oil for mange was just a warm-up when it comes to homemade methods of treating parasites. Consider Pine-Sol, vinegar, Clorox, turpentine and linseed oil. One poor Maltese who I'll never forget came in tinged purple after she'd been dunked in a linseed oil/gentian violet dip for fleas. She didn't die, but I don't think the magenta hue in her snowy white fur ever quite went away.
Yes, really. This was perhaps the most impressively stupid example of pet remedies gone wrong that I've ever witnessed: Imagine a dog with weepy red sores all over her body. When I asked what was up with the crazy sores, I was told that the ticks had been "particularly bad" that week. Apparently, this owner's approach to removing ticks involved a bottle of rubbing alcohol and matches.
The human-only versions of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen sodium, constantly top pet poison lists — and not just because animals have a tendency to get into our stashes of candy-coated pills. Apparently, our willingness to medicate our pets with non-pet-specific drugs is killing them with "kindness."
It's long been known that this drug is a bad idea for cats. Yet people still think it's "safer" than other drugs for their cats. Well, nothing says really sick (or really dead) cat like a dose of acetaminophen, because felines are not able to break down the drug properly, which leads to a deadly blood disorder called methemoglobinemia.
Garlic — especially the raw variety — has a reputation for toxicity in pets. Pets who ingest too much of it get a nasty form of anemia. But this doesn't stop owners from believing that they can repel insects like fleas by giving animals excessive amounts of the stuff, which would presumably create an everlasting garlic odor.
I recently had a client who explained to me that her pets did not need the harsh drugs that "all veterinarians" recommend for preventing parasites. A morning dose of salt, "a few days in a row every so often," was all that was needed to keep the wormy things at bay. After chatting up a vet friend on the subject, he informed me that turpentine was once employed throughout Greyhound racing kennels to deworm dogs. The product was billed as Jacksonville Jazz. Scary.
One of my colleagues, an oncologist, recently told me about a sad case of lymphoma in two young dogs, which was almost certainly the result of a chronic application of DDT in the owner's small yard. He'd had some of the old stuff in his shed, and he figured that it could work for his pets' tick infestation. For his sake, I hope he used gloves and a mask.
With all this in mind, let me say this one more time, please talk with your vet before treating your animal.

7 Predictions For An Awesome 2013
Share your automotive expertise2 Write a Blog Post
Filed in: Marketing
Vision with the passion.......you did not leave anything on the table!
The dealerships that are nimble will adapt to the rapidly changing needs of the consumer, their purchasing behavior and emerging digital innovation in 2013. Those that follow strict adherence to process, structure and organization win continue to blaze the path, those that don't will be pushed further back in the caves.
The consumers are accessing all the information they need to make an intelligent buying decision, the only disconnection is that financing options are currently unavailable at the point of engagement. They can find all makes, models and pricing for any manufacturer, but why allow a consumer to migrate elsewhere to research numerous finance options. We have complete transparency of vehicle cost, used vehicle values, financing should be no different. Making it convenient for the consumer to execute the financial transaction will enhance the buying experience and bring increased efficiencies to the dealership.
The company that figures out how to blend available financing options, and fundable credit approval at the front end of the shopping/buying funnel tied to a consumers chosen vehicle of choice will bring positive disruptive change to the industry......for both dealers and consumers.
See you at NADA and the Presidents Club!
Dec 28, 2012
Excellent thought Allan - financing is surely poised for the next disruption!
Dec 28, 2012
Great article and thank you for the mention, Eric. I really like where you are going with website design standards. I think one of the reasons that customers are using 18+ online/offline sources during their car shopping is automotive websites (OEM, Dealer, and Third Party) are not providing all the information the customer is looking for in one place. It will be a great competitive advantage to the business that can innovate in this space. Looking forward to seeing you at the President's Club in April!
Dec 29, 2012
Great thoughts Eric. I certainly like that video will overtake pictures and certainly agree. I am implementing video with my clients on the vendor side just as I did while in a dealership. B2B or B2C, it is still a human being on the other end. Thanks for sharing. See you at NADA?
Dec 30, 2012
Thanks Chris - smart move w/the videos, the people you;re trying to connect with have just as much, if not better chances, of seeing your videos on their phone than their desktops.
And yes, we'll be at NADA! See you there...
Dec 30, 2012
Very high-level approach Eric, well done and thanks for the mention. This also seemed to speak around the idea of owners and high level dealer executives embracing digital media and fully immersing in the technology. I know of no other way they can truly "get it" and be in a position to make the best digital investment decisions. Your analogy was great, "It's time for dealership leaders to understand how the clock works rather than just being able to tell the time." I might add, they also need to be in a postion to predict what the timepiece of the future might look like.
Dec 31, 2012
Thanks Eric. Honored to be included in such a respected list!

Did YOU say Personal Branding? Woo-Hoo! Yes, differentiating yourself and your business is key to experiencing success in the coming years. Many naysayers believe that creating a personal brand is a "self-centered" approach to business and is ego driven. This myth is false. Personal branding is not "image management" ~ in other words, creating a personal brand is not about being a celebrity. It is about being authentic in how you act, in what you say, and in the way YOU show up in the search engines. People buy from people they know, like and trust. But before you rush out and start building profiles online, you must know yourself, in order to grow yourself. Once you have a clear understanding of your own unique promise of value (aka; a business value proposition), you can consistently and constantly market yourself to an audience that can and will relate to YOU. The most effective platforms to show up online are those that optimize a users profile, such as; LinkedIn, About.Me, DrivingSales.com, and the latest edition http://www.vizify.com/renee-stuart ~ Thanks for the predictions Eric. If people considered applying just a few of these predictions, their 2013 will be dripping in awesome sauce.

Every business needs customers, right? Keeping customers loyal to your business and ensuring they come back to you for future purchases involves a retention marketing strategy. Although this type of strategy is incredibly important and needed for a successful business, today we are going to focus on developing a conquest marketing strategy. Now I know what you're thinking, "You tell us all the time - it costs five times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one." This is a very true statement; however, there comes a time for every business when you have to look outside of your current database and acquire new business to grow your current customer pool and increase revenue. What if I told you that acquiring new business doesn't have to be so costly? In fact, dealers who use OneCommand's conquest email solution have seen a $15 return on investment for every one dollar spent. Today I'll share a cost effective conquest marketing strategy that brings addition...Read post
Here is the daily hiring and getting hired tip: Want to impress top candidates in your community, start with your employment page on your own website. Always be hiring! Take the time to detail the benefits of working at your store like income, work environment, flexible schedule. Highlight some key employees with tenure, and give descriptions of each of the positions in your store. Even if you are not actively looking at the moment give the community the ability to pursue a position.Read post
In a very short 6 years, the iPhone and Android mobile platforms have come to represent over 90% of the smartphone market. In both design and operation, the iPhone has lead to a wildfire of smartphone adoption. While the open-platform Android has provided smartphone access to the masses by providing cost effective devices. So what does all of this mean for you? Let's first take a look at mobile websites. Many dealerships consider a mobile website a helpful tool to help drive traffic into their store. However, here's a look at why mobile websites simply aren't enough to keep up and could actually be driving traffic away: 1) A "mobile website" is a condensed version of a "full" website – a website built to be viewed on a computer screen – not a mobile screen. A mobile website wasn't built to integrate with the underlying technology that drives mobile apps and does not take full advantage of unique smartphone capabilities like push notifications, GPS, o...Read post

"People don't just walk up to a dealership and pick out a new car." - Google Automotive ZMOT Study. Are you sure Google?

Let them go to 18.2 different sources for information and then finally pick your dealership out of the 1.3 dealerships that they will visit to purchase a vehicle.Read post
Over the past 15 years or so the Internet has profoundly changed the automotive shopping process, I'm predicting that the changes to the automotive buying process will occur twice as rapidly and will be twice as disruptive to the industry. The shopping process takes the majority of your customer's time, while the buying process is actually much more important – to both the customer and the dealership. Now major industry players like AutoNation, Sonic, and CarMax are rapidly moving to a more "transactional" web presence. In short, the major players are moving from mere shopping on the web to buying on the web. That doesn't mean buying a car 100% online, it means allowing the customer to choose which functions of the sales process they want to complete online. My sense is the winners and losers in the business, five years from now, will be predicated by how well they assist buyers slipping from the online experience into the physical experience – and perhaps back again....Read post
That classic line from the song "Somebody to Love" by legendary band, Queen epitomizes the destination for consumers and the goal of all salespeople. There's not a doubt in my mind that you've heard the phrase "People buy from people they like." In the past, a consumer had to come into a dealership to start the car shopping process. This is where the important skill of "building rapport" came into play for salespeople. Great salespeople learned quickly how to find common interests and develop relationships with their clients, while assisting them to find the right vehicle. Fast forward to today. Consumers now have the option of car shopping anonymously. Dealership Internet and BDC departments are inundated with leads arriving from countless sources. Consumers chose to share some or all of their information after narrowing down their online research. They've engaged with you to some degree and have given you the opportunity to earn their business. You must remem...Read post
Holiday frenzy is sweeping the nation and people everywhere are starting their holiday shopping. Ok, maybe not exactly, but children are starting to think about their Christmas and Hanukkah wish list, parents are attempting to figure out how they will pay for this year's must-have gifts, and retail outlets everywhere are getting ready for the holiday rush. Have you started planning your holiday marketing? You should be. Today I'll share easy ways to engage customers during the holiday shopping season to get them to your door. Think Big The holidays mean increased competition from not only your competitors, but also for your customers' attention from other retail outlets. This is when you have to "go big or go home." If you don't put out a sales or service offer to attract the consumer's eye, you might as well forget it. Get Outside the Box On the same wavelength, to grab consumers' attention, you'll want to use marketing that gets you noticed. For example, if you p...Read post

"My husband & I spent our 30th anniversary in this little gem! 11 nights we were able to be there, and it was worth every penny. Because I knew the island prior to arrival, I was concerned the road close to it would be too noisy, but it wasn't. The photos do not do it justice, except for the photos from the porch. Every morning and evening we watched sailboats go by! Because there was AC, our sleeping was good. Very clean & comfortable, and the owners very accommodating. Cooking our own meals in the well-stocked kitchen was a plus for us, too, and having our evening meals on the covered porch was excellent. You won't be disappointed!"Guest: Starla Date of Stay: June 2014 Review Submitted: July 11, 2014View listing
"We had an absolutely fabulous time at Villa Cybelle! The beautiful, airy, clean house is extremely spacious with generous bedrooms and baths. We spent most of our time at the house on the veranda, whether having breakfast, drinks or relaxing after dinner, while enjoying the beautiful views of the sea. We enjoyed the afternoons at our refreshing pool, basking in the sun on our lounge chairs with luxurious towels that were provided for the pool area. Joan Paul, the lovely house manager was professional and meticulous. She greeted us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour of the house. Prior to our trip, she sent us a shopping list for us to complete so that food and drinks would be stocked upon our arrival. Also, we corresponded via email regarding some activities we were interested in doing and restaurants where we wanted to dine, and she arranged everything while offering her suggestions as well. Joan also arranged for our drivers, from picking us up at the airport to transporting us through the island for meals and sightseeing. She also charted a boat for us that took us down the west coast, to Marigot Bay and to Mango Tree restaurant, where we had a delicious lunch with magnificent views of the Pitons. Our drivers, Pierre, Marc and David were all friendly and knowledgable about St Lucia. We had a wonderful time with them. We were reluctant to rent a house, thinking that we 'd have to pack additional items, but almost every item was provided, from towels, to iPod dock, bottle openers etc. The only items we needed to bring were soap, shampoo and conditioner. Andrea, the housekeeper was there twice during our stay to change linens, wash towels and clean the house. We highly recommend Coal Pot Restaurant and Pink Plantation House. Both restaurants serve delicious meals and have beautiful pottery for sale by the charming, artistic owner, Michelle. Finally, the people of St Lucia are warm and welcoming people. We look forward to returning to St. Lucia and staying at Villa Cybelle."Guest: Kat Date of Stay: March 2014 Review Submitted: April 29, 2014View listing
"My wife and I had the most beautiful honeymoon in St. Lucia. We decided to rent a villa over doing the all-inclusive route because it would force us to explore more of the island. This was definitely the way to go, we got to mix it up with the locals, experience their culture, cuisine, and just their way of life. Albatross Nest offers the best of both worlds. If you want to spend time alone with your significant other and feel like you have the entire island to yourself then Albatross Nest is your place. If you want to be close to Rodney Bay and everything that city life offers, then Albatross Nest is your place. We spent almost every afternoon lounging around the pool drinking Pitons and just starring at the beautiful ocean. Waking up and cooking breakfast in the open air living room will be something we will always remember. Michael the gardener and Odessa the maid are both very personably and pleasant people. We both enjoyed talking with them and hearing their stories. Odessa even taught us how to play dominos one rainy day. Most of the time when looking at pictures about villas and or places to rent, the pictures usually paint a much nice picture. This is NOT the case with Albatross Nest. The villa and views are both exactly as they are portrayed in the pictures. If you thinking about St. Lucia, Albatross Nest will defiantly not disappoint."Guest: Billy Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 26, 2014View listing

UAE football coach Mahdi Ali advises Omar Abdul Rahman to go cool on Europe
UAE coach tells star player not to rush into any mid-summer move
- Image Credit: EPA
- This file photo shows the UAE's Omar Abdul Rahman (right) in action against Senegal.
Dubai: UAE Gulf Cup-winning coach Mahdi Ali has warned player of the tournament Omar Abdul Rahman not to rush into a European transfer this summer, in the latest round of rhetoric that suggests the Al Ain midfielder might stay.
Abdul Rahman, 21, has been linked with a string of European clubs following his golden ball-winning performance in January. This follows his starring role in the UAE's debut appearance at an Olympic football finals in London last summer, which earned him a two-week trial with English Premier League champions Manchester City.
While work permit requirements were alleged to have put that move on hold, Abdul Rahman could still fulfil visa criteria in other European leagues, but solid offers are yet to have been made.
Ali, who was yesterday unveiled as the new brand ambassador for Audi, said: "Omar has the talent and ability to play in Europe, but I hope he doesn't take the fast route. I hope he does it in stages.
"It's not only a matter of football, but it's also a social thing. His language and social life will all be different from what he's used to. He would have to digest how to live in a certain condition, temperatures and environment are all different."
Ali added: "I hope we have some players who go and play in Europe and take the opportunity, because I'm sure it would improve their performances for the future. Omar has the ability to play abroad and provided he does it in stages, he will reap the benefits.
"I want him to succeed and hope to see an official proposal for him. We don't only want rumours; there is apparently a lot of interest for him, according to what we've read in the newspapers, but we want something official. Al Ain have said they are willing [to sell the player] if there is an official proposal that is beneficial for all."
Ali, who was promoted to the role of UAE national team boss from his position as Olympic team coach last August, has since won 11 games and lost and drawn one apiece. Besides the Gulf Cup success, the UAE have also won their opening two 2015 Asian Cup qualifiers against Vietnam and Uzbekistan and are now preparing for the third match of a six game round-robin, away to Hong Kong on October 15.
"We hope to qualify and our dream is to be one of the top four teams at the 2015 Asia Cup in Australia, our second big goal is to qualify to the 2018 World Cup. We have a very young team, 16 of the Gulf Cup winning squad were under the age of 23, so we have a good chance of qualifying."
Asked if October posed too long a wait to continue their run of ten games unbeaten, Ali, who is planning two friendlies and a practice tournament in Saudi Arabia as preparation, said: "This team started together in 2008 and for five years it's been hard work and no holiday. This last year there's been quite a tight schedule and the players need a break.
"From May until September, there will be no activities except to follow the recovery of injured players and monitor clubs during their pre-season camps abroad."

OSU lineman Brady Bond makes big jump from 8-man
STILLWATER — Brady Bond arrived at Oklahoma State football camp as a high school sophomore in the summer of 2002, more focused on the experience than ambitious expectations.
"I didn't dream of playing Division I football," Bond said. And for good reason, considering Bond didn't even play the perceived equivalent of Division I high school football, instead toiling in the 8-man game down the road at Garber. Still, a dream was hatched that summer in Stillwater. "Now I'm living it every day," Bond said. "You just never know where it's going to take you." As the Cowboys charge into one of the most anticipated seasons in program history, Bond prepares for his fourth season as a starter on the offensive line, a key cog for one of the nation's most potent attacks. Bond's story is unique, with few 8-man players getting as much as a look on the recruiting trail. Nationally, only 16 states field 8-man teams. The schools are smaller, many found in rural areas. The players are often smaller, too, without premium weight rooms to help them maximize their development. "There are some big guys in 8-man, there's just not as many," Bond said. "It's probably not the best thing for the coaches to go recruit 8-man schools, because there's just not as many players for them to look at." Like many in the business, Cowboys offensive line coach Joe Wickline has a limited knowledge of the 8-man brand. "Never seen a game," said Wickline. At OSU, only Stacy Satterwhite, a late-80s recruit from Welch, has left a mark on the program as an 8-man product.

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong. The complexity of today's applications have gone far and beyond the capabilities of "traditional" system-level monitoring tools and approaches and requires much broader knowledge of business and applications as a whole.

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. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

Fed's Lockhart sees rate hike at least six months after QE3 end
ATLANTA (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve will probably wait to hike interest rates until at least six months after it ends its bond-buying stimulus program, a top Fed official said on Tuesday.
"(I) think that it's going to be longer than that," Dennis Lockhart, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, told an investment conference.
The Fed has kept overnight interest rates near zero since late 2008 to help the U.S. economy recover from a profound recession.
Signs of recovery in the jobs market led the U.S. central bank to recently start winding down its bond-buying program, which is aimed at pushing down borrowing costs. The Fed has made clear it will continue to support the economy, and last week said it would keep its benchmark rate near zero for a considerable time after it ended the bond purchases.
Lockhart was commenting on a statement by Fed Chair Janet Yellen last week that a considerable time meant around six months.
"That is a really a minimum, not a maximum," Lockhart said, while qualifying his remarks as representing only his personal view.
Yellen, in a press conference following the first Fed policy meeting that she chaired, said the Fed will probably end its bond-buying program -- known as QE3 because it is the Fed's third round of bond buying -- next fall.
Some investors took Yellen's comments to mean the Fed could raise rates as soon as April.
Lockhart, who does not have a vote this year on the Fed's policy-setting panel but participates in its discussions, is considered to be near the center of the central bank's policy spectrum, and his comments often reflect the views of the core decision-makers.
On Tuesday, he said he remained troubled by persistently low rates of inflation in the United States, although he expects the pace of economic growth will pick up in the coming months. That outlook is the fundamental reason why the central bank will want to raise rates next year, he said.

I love this idea because I burn iso's all the time & sometimes with the Linux Distro's updating constantly,it then gets really tiring burning cd after cd,not to mention the cd recycle pain. God I love Linux & this is why,because they always come up with the most innovative idea's,I love this idea & I will be using this.
Perfect Timing!!

Fucking awesome! I'm gonna try it out asap :) Thanks!
Perfect Timing!
I've been researching how to do this over the last couple of days. This is even better than any of the solutions I'd come up with yet.
Other ISO images?
Wouldn't this work with any bootable ISO? Is there something special about a Linux ISO on a thumbdrive?
yeah, you can use any ISO.
yeah, you can use any ISO. See the radio button in the middle of the user interface next to "Diskimage"? It lets you specify an ISO which is on your hard drive.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Dag Savage - God Body
Artist: Dag Savage
Featuring: CashUs King, Blu
Producer: Exile
Album: The Warning Tape
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
Those who follow the doctrines of the Five-Percent Nation sometimes refer to themselves as God Body, alluding to the belief that the Asiatic black man is Allah incarnate. With that said, you don't need to be an NGE affiliate to appreciate the godlike mic work displayed on the latest promo single from Dag Savage. The L.A. duo's first featured cut since March 2013's Drugs, this mixtape inclusion sees Exile and Johaz linking up with three talented West Coast colleagues for a no-holds-barred exhibition of lyrical slaughter. The former's vertiginous string loops and head-nodding rhythm section set the stage for aggressive guest bars from Co$$ (a holdover from the aforementioned joint), Blu and Gonja Sufi. Like what you're hearing? You'll be able to find God Body and much more on Dag Savage's Warning Tape, dropping next week as the prelude to the February 4, release of studio album E&J.

Bills DT Marcell Dareus wants to earn team's trust
PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus can finally start focusing on football again, even though he spent much of Wednesday riding a stationary bike on the sideline.
Dareus was finally back after missing the first three days of training camp in suburban Rochester. Dareus released a statement through the team, saying he hoped to regain his teammates', coaches' and fans' trust after a troubled offseason.
Dareus was arrested twice in the span of four weeks in May, and then reported to camp out of shape and failed a conditioning test Saturday.
"I have a passion for this game and I want to be here to help this organization achieve its goals," Dareus said in the statement. "There are things I need to work on professionally and personally to make sure I can be accountable to myself, my family, this team and this community."
Dareus was excused from the start of camp to attend a court hearing in his native Alabama on two felony drug charges. Dareus was arrested May 5 and charged with possession of synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia (a glass pipe).
On Monday, Dareus agreed to enter an NFL substance abuse program in a bid to have the charges dismissed.
The next step is getting in shape.
The 2011 first-round draft pick is on the team's active/non-football injury list and must pass a conditioning test before he can get on the field.
On Wednesday, Dareus rode a stationary bike and then spent time working on other conditioning drills while the Bills practiced.
The Bills have a day off Thursday, so Friday is the earliest Dareus might begin practicing. He has now missed four days of workouts since camp opened Sunday.
Coach Doug Marrone was pleased to have Dareus back. He wasn't sure when the player might be ready to hit the practice field.
"We're going day by day," Marrone said. "I don't want to get ahead of myself."
Even when Dareus is cleared for practice, the former Alabama star has other obstacles to overcome.
Dareus also faces a reckless driving charge after crashing his 2012 Jaguar into a tree after an alleged car race with teammate Jerry Hughes not far from Ralph Wilson Stadium on May 30.
The arrests open the possibility that the NFL will discipline Dareus with a fine or suspension.
Dareus' troubles go back to the end of last season, when he was benched for parts of the final two games for breaking team rules.
General manager Doug Whaley told The Associated Press on Sunday that Dareus' failed conditioning test was "a cause for concern" but expressed confidence the player can get his life and career back on track.
"His mindset's better once he's here," Whaley said. "And I think we'll find out with his actions. And I think he's ready to disprove all this stuff that he's a bad seed."
Dareus has been a three-year starter in Buffalo since he was drafted with the third overall pick out of Alabama. He's coming off a career season in which he was credited with 71 tackles and 7½ sacks and made his first Pro Bowl appearance as an injury replacement.
Dareus wasn't available to reporters Wednesday. He hasn't made any public comments since May, before his car crash.
"I'm excited to return to training camp to rejoin my teammates in our preparations for the 2014 season," he said in the statement. "I want to thank the Bills organization, coach Marrone and the coaching staff, my teammates and our fans for their continued support."

Self-belief, presence and a feel for his players - Gary Kirsten on why Graeme Smith was a natural-born leader
As told to Nagraj Gollapudi

Match home : Full coverage of Graeme Smith's retirement
Players/Officials: Graeme Smith | Gary Kirsten
Teams: South Africa
Gary Kirsten played his final few Tests for South Africa under the leadership of 21-year-old Graeme Smith. In 2011 the pair reunited when Kirsten took over as South Africa's coach, a post he held for two years. Here Kirsten talks about what made Smith the best captain he played under.
The first things I noticed about Graeme was, he had the self-belief and courage at a very young age to want to do the job. I remember at the time Eric Simons was the South African coach and he was considering a new captain. The name Graeme Smith came up although he had been in the team for a very short time. And he was 21 years old. Eric asked him and Graeme said, absolutely, he would love to do it. So the self-belief to be able to do the job and also to have the confidence and courage to accept the responsibility I can never forget.
My last Test was against New Zealand in Wellington. It was the final Test of the three-match series and we were 1-0 down. At Basin Reserve, we went to stumps on the fourth evening at 82 for 3, chasing a target of 234. Graeme was batting on 46 and I was on 19. On the eve of that match Graeme had delivered a motivational speech with tears in his eyes. It struck me that we had a guy leading the team that players have to go out and play for. The way he spoke that day awakened me to the fact that here is a 22-year-old with limited captaincy experience at the highest level, and yet he could deliver a speech like that.
The gist of the speech was to say: we are one down in the series against New Zealand. We need to deliver here. We need to deliver on the promises, deliver on our ability, our potential. The speech was less about content to me, and more about the authenticity of what he was saying. You could see it seeping through his bones, how he felt about it. For me that is the essence of leadership: if you are going to be believable and credible to your players, they have got to see you actually feel it more than they do. And I certainly saw that in him.
I went out the next day and I played for Graeme Smith. That was the bottom line. I played my last Test specifically to respond to his call to his troops. That was for me an incredibly powerful acknowledgement of his natural-born leadership tendencies. That was what he was - a natural-born leader.
The best thing about presence in leadership is, you can have credibility from your players. MS Dhoni has that presence. Graeme had the same. They don't have to say much. Great leaders display this presence. They don't have to stand up and shout and scream and say, this is the direction we are moving as a team. Just their presence, their body language, tells you where we are. With Graeme, the one thing he always had was he was a big guy. And because he was the in-your-face type guy, you knew he was ready for the battle. In addition he was a very good orator. Then he had the courage and determination to do the job.
The frontman
He was the man who was always at the front of the row. And as an opening batsman we know how tough it is opening in Test match cricket, especially in South Africa, which potentially can present some of the toughest conditions for openers. It was an important example to set: that he was always the one accepting the highest pressure, and accepting the responsibility that came with it. So it was a comfort zone for players knowing that their leader was a guy accepting the pressure and the heat at the highest level.
|"I played my last Test specifically to respond to Smith's call to his troops" Gary Kirsten
There is no other job in cricket mentally tougher than opening the innings and doubling up as a captain. So for Graeme to end up with an average of above 48 and then to have the type or leadership success he did have is absolutely a massive achievement. You look at his record in the fourth innings and his ability to make important contributions. That gave the team a lot of confidence. It gives your team a lot of comfort to know that the captain is walking the talk.
A feel for people
His man-management abilities were really strong. He had a great feel for where the players and his team were mentally. He had a feel for the energy of the team, where it was, and when he needed to provide inputs and when it was not needed. As a leader you've got to know firstly when to say something to an individual and then how to say it. So if there is a piece of information you want to give someone, you've got to know what is the right moment to do that. I used to watch Graeme walk around during training and watch him have one-on-one chats with a player. Without knowing the specifics I know the chat would have centred around giving the guy confidence, to know that his captain was backing him. The most important thing about man management is taking the time to do it. He cared about his players. He had instinct about when to chat to his players.
The team's sponge
He was very good with the media. He learnt how to deal and talk to the media. He knew what to do and how to do it. He fended off a lot of negativity that came via the media or he took it upon himself. He always tried to protect his team in that space - if there was anything that was levelled at the team or if the team was criticised, he was prepared to take that on. So in a true sense of the word he was a leader who was prepared to accept the responsibilities that came with the job.
