The New Ulm BMX Park is closed until further notice after another incident of vandalism at the track. The park's concession stand was broken into Saturday night. The persons involved in the crime gained access to the building by destroying an air conditioning unit. The interior contents of the stand were reportedly then strewn about, and several hundred dollars worth of candy and pop were stolen. The total cost of damages is being estimated at $1,200, but this comes after the BMX park's storage shed was previously broken into four weeks ago. In that incident, bike gear was stolen and several trophies as well as the shed's door were destroyed. Damage in that incident totaled more than $800. The break-ins are under investigation by the New Ulm Police Department, and no date has been set for re-opening the park.

It predicts that unemployment will fall as low as 6.4 percent next year, down from 6.5 percent in its June forecast.The unemployment rate is now 7.3 percent.

Sunday, Roll Call, 05/26/13
Good Morning All,
I'm watching storms on the radar right now. I've made calls to see if we should cancel the whole trip today or just delay it by a few hours.
Hope you wake up to good weather where you are and get to do something fun today.
Good morning, Michele. What's with these insane weather patterns? It is too scary. Now, they're predicting severe hurricanes for the east coast this year. One of my friends says that it's time to repent. I'll have to make a list (lol).
Lainey, you asked me where I put my flags. I have 5 of them and I push the stick part into the ground all across the front of my lawn on either side of my driveway. Many of my neighbors have large flags hanging from holders on the post at the front of their carports.
I have a Netflix movie to watch today so that will be my entertainment for the day. How exciting is that! Oh, my gardenia bush is almost in full flower. It's always open for this holiday.
We used to pick blueberries when we lived in Southwest Louisiana on this holiday. There was a pick your own place close to us and we filled the freezer.
Nothing planned for today. I have Netflix streaming now but for the moment have to watch those things on my laptop. I am following a couple of series so it doesn't lose too much on the small screen. Movies might. I'll still get discs.
Still resting today. Thanks to all the heroes who served us in the Armed Forces. We appreciate the sacrifices both large and small.
Thank YOU Michele for our start off today. Hope you stay safe and sound in your neck of the woods. Julie is right this crazy weather. :dunno:
Nothing too hectic on my agenda today. DD started running her marathon early this morning it will probably take about 4 hours, so she probably has about another hour to go.
DGD is competing again today at that horse show in Quebec, the last day. So after DD's run, they will be driving up to Quebec for the afternoon. It is all go with them.
I am happy to say I am staying home minding Billy their dog so all quiet for me. They will phone me with the results and their excitement, that's enough for this Grandma.:D
Yes, Julie, the East coast has been warned, even up here. The maritimes are bracing themselves. Ha your friend is right a long repent. The confession box line will be over flowing.;)
Lainey, sounds like your kind of weather, cool enough to plant. You are doing just amazing considering what you have been through in recent years. WTGG! :clap:
Wising All a pleasant Sunday and hope to bbl...:heart:
Thank you for the start off, Michelle.
Hi to Julie, Anne, Susan, and all who follow.
A weekend of memories.
Thanks for starting us out, Michele.
Back later, hitting the bike now.
Good morning to all and later too.
WOW, didn't sleep in I OVER slept! ot of bed at 10:30 am. Poor kitties want their breaky real bad.
Out to the garden soon as I find a br* as my top is too clingy and the front yard is just too exposed.
Looking forward to the back yard work coming up- more private durin the day at least.
Thanks Julie- that would not work here.... puttin then back away for now till I can come up with something- I have huge planters to plant stuff in and in future will plan of puttin some in the pots with flowers.
Good morning and thanx for starting us off this morning, Michele.
Sure am glad Snoopy is recovering, Mary.
The weekend took its toll. Up 2 pounds in one day! I assume it is mostly water, so not changing stats.....yet.
it's pouring rain this morning so I am delaying my drive to the garden where I volunteer.
If it keeps raining, may just have a cooking day.
Just sticking my foot in the door and shouting a "howdy." BBL

Clovis Oncology: Like the Story, Not the Stock
Now let's look at the two risks that keep me from buying Clovis at this time.
First, the clinical data on CO-101 are extremely limited. A small Phase 1 study in various late-stage cancers showed no significant tumor shrinkage; only a handful of treated patients reported stable disease. Clovis also stopped an earlier Phase 2 study poorly designed and started by Clavis. Interim results from this study showed some tumor shrinkage and stable disease, but only three patients had low hENT1 and none of those had a major response to drug. This paucity of data gives me pause.
My big worry is that Clovis doesn't seem to understand how CO-101 gets into the cell; if the drug can't get into the cell in hENT1 low patients, LEAP won't work. To engineer CO-101 from gemcitabine, Clavis added a lipid to one end of the molecule -- hardly revolutionary stuff. One study demonstrates that CO-101 inhibits cell growth in vitro in transporter-deficient cell lines. So far, the best thesis about CO-101's mechanism of transport is "passive diffusion." Again, this is a pretty thin branch on which to hang an investment.
By the time we get data on CO-101, Clovis will have roughly $70 million in cash. Even if we assign $40 million to the company's two interesting earlier-stage drug candidates, investors are valuing CO-101 at $420 million. That's a lot of downside, especially when no one fully understands how the drug gets to where it needs to be and there are virtually no clinical data to override that concern. I would keep Clovis on the radar screen for now.Celgene The key cancer asset behind Celgene's 2010 acquisition of Abraxis BioScience, Abraxane is a reformulation of the old anti-cancer drug paclitaxel with a human protein called albumin attached. Albumin facilitates transport of the drug into the tumor cell. Late last year, investigators published promising results from a phase I/II trial of the drug in pancreatic cancer. The study combined several doses of Abraxane with gemcitabine and sought to establish a maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the dose that best balances efficacy and side effects. Celgene reported an encouraging median survival of 12.2 months. Based on these data, Celgene initiated a large phase III trial of the drug in combination with gemcitabine. Results should be available around mid-year.

"A truly luxurious body balm perfect for pampering yourself. It leaves my skin feeling soft and gives a beautiful glow to tired skin. I like my skin looking moisturised and have a subtle shine to it, and with the body balm, I can apply in the morning and know my skin will look moisturised all day long. A little goes a long way with this product, and it gives a deep moisture to your body. I have particularly dry skin, but when using the body balm on my legs and arms, my skin is revitalised. This is by far one of the best beauty products I have brought in a long while, and I will be buying it for friends and relatives for presents. Thank you ila for introducing me to this delightful product!"
"One of the most versatile and effective products I've ever come across. You need to 'warm it up' in your hands as it's very hard when cold, but it's then amazing all over the body - on wet or dry skin, elbows, knees and feet or all over after a bath for skin as soft as a baby's. And a big tub lasts for ages. Above all, however, I use this product when I have flair ups of dyshidrotic eczema on the soles and sides of my feet. I've never tried anything as effective (either natural or chemical) at soothing and alleviating the symptoms. I can't recommend this product highly enough."
"Don't be put off by the thickness of the balm - it softens & blends into the skin & has even soothed my osteo-arthritic thumbs."
"My feet have taken a real beating this summer with flip flops, sun and sea, this body balm with the Argan oil and beeswax was the only thing that worked to rejuvenate them. I put it on at night before I go to bed and wake up with soft silky feet, my husband has even started borrowing it!"
"I have recently been given a lovely gift which included : Face Oil, Cleansing Milk, Toner, Facial Scrub & Body Balm. I absolutely love all of the products, my skin tone has definitely improved over the last few weeks I feel fresh & rejuvenated!! Best of all my friends & family have all noticed. I have one minor (personal) criticism – I don't really like the smell of the Toner.I hope you find my account helpful! I will of course recommend the Ila Spa products to all of my friends, family & work colleagues!"
"The longer I use this fragrant balm the more I realise how amazing it is. From the moment I start to rub it in, I feel comforted and relaxed. I have to cope with a lot of side effects from medication that I have to take, and this balm really helps -- any aches, pains, or worries just melt away!"
"Personally I LOVE the iLa Body Balm! Not only does the pot last forever but I have very dry, dehydrated skin so it's perfect for me -plus I love the glossy looking finish it gives. The moisture stays with my skin all day and over night ready to be reapplied in the morning. The smell is heavenly too."
An intensely nourishing balm for all ages that softens, smoothes and balances even the driest of skin.

Staff was amazing!! And the breakfast was yummy.
The price
The best at La Maison is the friendly attitude from the owner and his staff. We felt almost like at home. Also the breakfast was superb.
There were missing some amenities at the room: a mirror for the ladies, kleenex towels. The tv set was too small and dark.
Nice comfortable place to stay. The staff, particularly the owner, are all really nice and helpful
Everything Patrice is the most wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was spectacular and the staff were unbelievably attentive. Simply a wonderful experience.
Really friendly and helpful. Would definately recommend staying at the Hotel Frances Maison.
If travelling by public transport a little far from the bus terminal.
Patrice, the owner, as well as his staff could not have been more helpful

It's always surprising when a man rejects the fantasy-suite card on The Bachelorette, but host Chris Harrison says Constantine was ready to "pull the cord" on his relationship with Ashley. TVGuide.com chatted with Harrison about the eleventh-hour exit, why he didn't feel bad about letting Ryan show up in Fiji, and how Ashley's family won't give a "glowing report" on J.P. Plus: Who steals the show at Sunday's upcoming "Men Tell All" (9/8c, ABC)?
Ashley arrives in Fiji, reflecting on her Bachelorette journey thus far. She says she definitely finds herself finding true love on the beautiful island. We look back at the past few weeks and how Ashley's relationships with Ben, J.P. and Constantine have grown.
Ben's date is up first, but wait, read more
While J.P. may seem like the front-runner on The Bachelorette, Chris Harrison says that bumps are ahead for him and Ashley. In this week's chat with Harrison, he dissects each of the dates, talks about Ames' upcoming stint on Bachelor Pad, and hints that next week one of the guys may not choose to forgo their individual room to stay with Ashley in the fantasy suite.
Hey hey, Bachelor Nation! I'm Jager Weatherby from Wepaint Entertainment and, yes, it's already time to start talking about Bachelor Number 16. One of Ashley Hebert's 25 boyfriends from The Bachelorette Season 7 will probably start handing out his own roses next January... and we've got five reasons that guy should be Ryan Park.
Ryan Park won our hearts when he snagged Ashley Hebert's first impression rose. Watch on for a few other things to know about the 31-year-old hottie...He's called 'Mr. Sunshine' for a reason... and it's not just for his permanent megawatt smile. Ryan is the director of business development at REC Solar, a company that sells and installs solar electric power plants. He started as the fourth employee and helped the company grow to more than 600 strong.
HuffPost Reporter Lynne Peeples talks with Director of Business Development of REC Solar, Ryan Park, about solar energy.
Ryan is blindfolded in a park to raise his anxiety about losing control.

The final 15 minutes on The Bachelorette this week overshadowed Ashley and the men traveling to Taiwan, as Chris Harrison sat down with half of last season's Bachelor couple, Emily Maynard, who returned and tearfully opened up about her breakup with Brad Womack. But why wasn't Brad there? Read our weekly chat with Harrison, who answers that question and shares his surprise about Ryan's dismissal and hints at the 31-year-old's return to the show.

When Microsoft landed here in the '80s, Seattle was known for fish and airplanes, but just as Bill Gates has changed the way America works, he's also transformed Seattle into one of the nation's undisputed high-tech engines. The big action nowadays: dot-com start-ups that have taken off in the wake of the success of Seattle-based Amazon.com. New dot-coms include online pharmacy rivals Drugstore.com and Soma.com, as well as HomeGrocer.com. There are also hundreds of little software companies, and Seattle remains home to the king of the cyberhill, Microsoft.
Joe LePla, co-owner of Parker LePla, a Seattle high-tech integrated-brand development firm, gives the local scoop:
Why it's hot: Venture capitalists, plenty of muscular industry groups (like the Washington Software Alliance) and "an overwhelming belief on behalf of the local populace that software/Internet content are key to everyone's future," says LePla. A compelling geography--snow-capped mountains, lakes and ocean--doesn't hurt when luring newcomers.
What's not so hot: "Rampant development of residential communities" to house the newcomers, and "traffic problems," says LePla. "The other problem, especially for people from California, is rain, rain, rain."
Hot networking spots: LePla recommends Washington Software Alliance dinner meetings, but says lots of networking happens in "people's own offices via job-hopping friends."
Power eats: "Who has time?" LePla asks. "Everyone's rushing to do an IPO." Those who've done their IPO hit McCormick & Schmick's, Wild Ginger and Satay Bar, says Clare Hagerty of the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce.

Miami Hurricanes carrying hot streak into Atlantic Coast Conference tournament
The University of Miami women's basketball team struggled early on, but got hot just in time for March. The Hurricanes head into their Atlantic Coast Conference tournament opener having won four of their past five games.
As if that weren't reason enough for the Canes to be excited about the postseason, they open on Thursday at 2 p.m. against rival Florida State in Greensboro, N.C. The winner advances to a Friday game against top seed and No. 2 ranked Notre Dame (29-0, 16-0 ACC).
The Hurricanes are 16-13, 8-8 in the ACC and the No. 8 seed in the conference tournament. Coach Katie Meier holds out hope for an NCAA tournament berth.
"We finished really strong, and that speaks to the resilience of this team,'' Meier said.
"We won five away games in the ACC, and that says a lot about the character and grit of this team. I think eight ACC teams for sure should make the NCAA tournament. A .500 record in the ACC traditionally should get you a bid. Whoever wins on Thursday, if that team wants to really make noise, beat Notre Dame on Friday and then they don't have to debate anything.''
The Hurricanes are led by freshman point guard Adrienne Motley, known to her teammates as "Money Mot'' because she has proven to be a clutch player. Motley was named on Monday to the ACC All-Freshman team. She averaged 13.5 points per game, and though her play is usually "not SportsCenter highlight kind of stuff,'' Meier said Motley is "absolutely the reason'' they won some of their tough road games.
Other players who stepped up the past few weeks are sophomore forward Keyona Hayes, who averaged 20.5 points and shot 69 percent the past two games, and Necole Sterling, who had a career-high 16 Sunday against Pitt and averaged 10.4 points the last five games. Suriya McGuire has also played strong.
"The play of Necole Sterling is a great story and boosts us,'' Meier said. "She was very, very significant in our recent wins. Certainly, our bench changed our fate.''
Sterling came to UM from Gulf Coast Community College and took much of the season to get acclimated.
"Necole's a kid who hung in there, flipped her mind recently and decided to accept our coaching and adjust instead of being frustrated by it,'' Meier said.
The Seminoles are led by All-ACC senior Natasha Howard and speedy senior point guard Cheetah Delgado.
"This will be a good experience for a team like ours that has a few senior leaders combined with a lot of newcomers," FSU coach Sue Semrau said.
"Facing Miami right away will be a challenge for our team, especially with the way they played against us last time. They are an aggressive team who comes at you hard. We are looking forward to the challenge and hopefully will be playing Friday."

Dr. Jeffrey Singer: Obamacare turns doctors into bureaucrats
This shift has been underway for decades. It began in the 1980s, when Medicare imposed price controls and a coding system on physicians who treated anyone over 65. The regulators believed that such standardization would lead to more accurate processing of Medicare claims.
It is easy to standardize treatment protocols. It is impossible to standardize individual patients.
Enter Obamacare. Because Medicare's price controls ripple across the entire health care industry, any changes to its fiscal stability will affect nearly the entire medical profession. Yet in an attempt to keep Medicare fiscally stable (which it needs to be, with 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day), Obamacare sacrifices the patient by pushing doctors to the sidelines.
I joined the medical profession because I want to serve patients, not fill out forms. Thousands of others feel the same way I do.

Time for Ice Cream
Based on the weather summer ended a while ago already, but to follow tradition, we're celebrating the end of the summer today. What could be better way to do it, than to have ice cream?
We are also celebrating the end of an era, as our 2014 Trainees are "graduating" today. As of tomorrow they will be our permanent employees and members of the development teams. Despite of their individual situations with their studies, all of them were able to commit to working at least part time, and thus will be a valuable addition to our ever growing team of professionals.

Wordless Wednesday: Quarter Century
I'm 25 now! For my birthday, Amanda made me this chocolate raspberry cake with rich, fudgy chocolate ganache. Then I shoved handfuls of it in my mouth, late at night, after the Zepperella show. Then I took pictures of it with my gift from Evan: a new Digital SLR camera!

In a week when Shad Khan made news for upgrading the size of his yacht and dropping the hammer on the venerable Edgewood Bakery, it's kind of a relief to have less controversial things to talk about, like the Jacksonville Jaguars.
On a cool day with a slate-gray sky, the 2-11 Jags took on their division rival, the 6-6 Houston Texans, playing late-season spoiler yet again. The Texans came into the game still on the periphery of AFC South title contention; the Jags have been out of it for a while, but the home team clearly is still playing for pride.
Some positives: In the first half, the Jags actually moved the ball. Blake Bortles threw downfield when he needed to, wasn't afraid to run, put together long drives, etc. He got all the receivers involved — Allen Hurns, Marqise Lee, Cecil Shorts, as well as tight ends Marcedes Lewis and Clay Harbor — and used the whole field. This performance was light years removed from the one in Indy a couple of weeks ago. The long passes opened up the dump-offs, like the screen to Toby Gerhart in the two-minute drill, a play that wouldn't have worked if Houston hadn't respected the pass. Nothing spectacular, but not bad on a sloggy day.
The defense didn't embarrass itself, either. Texans running back Arian Foster was a factor early on, as he almost always is, but compared to the last time Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick came to town, as a Tennessee Titan, the Jags defense was more staunch in the early going, holding Fitzmagic to 27 first-half yards. As the rain picked up, the Jags' 13-10 halftime lead looked remarkably stable. And pundits like me, who recently asked Gus how much longer he expected to be in his job, looked like fools.
Then, the second half.
A 16-play Houston drive, which ate up the best part of the third quarter, was one of those classic backbreakers, offering evidence that Houston had found some weaknesses in the Jags defense. Then Bortles threw … More
The Jags got through their bye week without much in the way of scandal, besides a besotted Dwayne Gratz going to Miami, getting trashed and attempting to pay for purchases at a shop with bubble gum. That will be yet another addition to the Jags' canon, along with Keep Choppin' Wood and Jimmy Smith getting popped riding home from the Voodoo Lounge. But as distractions go, it isn't much.
The biggest issue they had to deal with were the Colts, who embarrassed them on their home field earlier this season, driving Chad Henne out of the game, starting the Blake Bortles era earlier than Gus Bradley wanted. At first, they seemed determined not to let the Colts embarrass them again.
They came out strong on defense, forcing an Andrew Luck fumble, only to give it back quick with a Bortles pick. The pass rush — the Jags' strength — initially overwhelmed the Colts' offensive line (an area of weakness for Indy). Even the post-interception drive was a defensive win, as the Colts were held to a field goal. And then on the next drive, they forced another Luck fumble deep in Colts territory on a 37-step drop where the Colts' line collapsed. The teams traded field goals early on, and compared to the apocalyptic first half in Jacksonville, the Jags were in good shape, nursing a 3-3 tie, having forced four sacks and a couple of fumbles in the first quarter, and holding the certain Pro Bowl QB to negative-two passing yards. It was a blitzing, swarming, nasty defense that solved a lot of the early-season assignment issues.
Neither team could get in the end zone in the first half, and the Jags had to see going into the second half down only 6-3 as a victory. Certainly it beat Vegas' expectations.
The Jags defense alone was not going to win this game, though. The offense couldn't get anything going in terms of downfield passing, and the 13-3 deficit they faced midway through the third quarter looked like the end of … More
By the time you read this, the latest Jaguar junket across the pond will be fading into memory, as the reflective mist of the bye week descends upon our fair city like industrial smells from a northeast breeze. But before we let it go, let's meditate on what Shad Khan said to Hagiographer to the Stars Sam Kouvaris about the Jaguars' need to play games in London for years to come — or, as Jerry Jones said last week, to "make a bigger commitment" to London.
"We want to do the right thing for the franchise," said the owner of the one-win squad with the $63 million scoreboard. "We don't have the growth in Jacksonville. We know that. How do we stabilize the team?"
Khan, whose Fulham Football Club was relegated from the English Premier League, knows a little something about franchise stability. He's been poormouthing Jacksonville periodically, and getting away with it, because he's a billionaire in a sea of millionaires, and he can go off script without reprisal. The current mayor rides shotgun in Shad's Impala; the would-be mayor would be cool with riding in the middle and holding the mustache wax.
How do we stabilize the team?
If ever there were a setup for a Jags victory, it was in London against the Cowboys. Forget the San Francisco shellacking last year. The Cowboys trotted out Toradol Romo, with a safety pin holding his spine together, against a Jags squad whose strength is the defensive front rotation. This was a team primed for an upset — even with Blake Bortles chewing a straw like a hick during the national anthem.
The first cowboys drive started quickly but stalled out when Romo missed a wide-open Jason Witten on a deep route down the middle. Romo looked compromised. Could the Jags take advantage?
Yes! The short passing game set up a Denard Robinson 32-yard dash to daylight. The Jags stopped Dallas and forced a punt … which was promptly fumbled inside … More
Will Blake Bortles ever be able to avoid turnovers? Does he have some sort of problem processing the whole play in crunch time? After all, pressure mounts, the Jags QB's decision-making only gets worse. And why does he throw against his body?
These were my questions coming into Sunday's game. I had started to call him Blaine in conversation. And I had almost stopped, until his end-zone interception at the four-minute mark of fourth quarter.
I probably should stop again.
Harsh? Maybe. Not compared to the CBS announcer who mused aloud about how long the Jags could stay with Bortles this year — as if another round of Chad Henne would fix everything. But whereas the Times-Union said Bortles "regressed" in Cincinnati, the Jags offense in fact looked better than it ever had before this year.
Denard Robinson's early run for 38 yards was one of those plays that can open up the whole offense. Toby Gerhart looked solid from the get-go, too. The Jags did play it safe in first half, as usual, to their detriment: They racked up a mere 34 passing yards.
Down 19-3 in the third, Bortles went deep to Allen Hurns — where was this derring-do early on? The playbook is buttoned up until garbage time approaches. This mode works with teams that have personnel advantages. The Jags, however, have to create and exploit mismatches to win.
When they go deep, especially to Hurns, good things happen. Hurns was the star of the game, making every catch, fulfilling every bit of the potential he flashed in the season opener. The Jags were in the game, looking credible, and Allen Hurns was the X-factor.
The turning point: The Jags were within three when Bengals backup running back Jeremy Hill took it to the house. Safety Josh Evans was hurt on a play where no one in Jags secondary really wanted to tackle Hill, least of all Evans. That should have been it, but Bortles had one more drive.
Then came the seemingly inevitable pick in … More
Another home game for the Jacksonville Jaguars, another chance for Blake Bortles to make the leap. This game was the biggest start in his young career.
Why? Because the Dolphins are arguably the Jaguars' biggest rivals, if for no other reason than proximity. And Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill, in many ways, is an analog for Bortles: a young, up-and-down quarterback who can run if he needs to (both were top-five QB rushers coming in). Tannehill has looked increasingly sharp this year, but the jury was out on both of them coming into Sunday's clash.
And it still is afterward. Tannehill was yet another quarterback who floundered in the face of an initially opportunistic Jags D (just 56 yards allowed in the first half). And Bortles? A dumpster fire. Yes, he threw two long touchdown passes. Both, however, went to Dolphins defenders.
Some missed opportunities for Jags' offense were not on Bortles, such as the bomb Allen Robinson dropped on the first drive that should have been caught. For every one of those, though, there were things like the two pick-sixes — Bortles' 11th and 12th of the year, even though he didn't start until Week 4 — and the fumble in the second quarter. At times, especially on third down, he looked Gabbertesque. Except Gabbert never had a running back like Denard (apologies to MJD apologists).
The Jags opened up the route tree in the third quarter, going deep, which only exposed Bortles as the Dolphins stopped respecting the run and blitzed.
As the game progressed, Gus Bradley looked less and less like an NFL coach. More Tom Arnold than Tom Landry, Gus' team once again looked outmatched in the second half. What was a winnable game at intermission was over long before the third quarter ended. Tannehill sharpened up as the fourth quarter commenced, one-liners and fart wafts filled the press box, and a "Let's Go Dolphins" chant pervaded the cleaner air outside it.
On a day … More
On a clear day, you can see forever. And things like a "This Is Hoyer Country" banner, and a crowd full of more orange tops than a Road Crew convention. And so the question of the day was this: Could the Jaguars take back their house?
The first quarter offered some encouragement. The Jags defense got Brian Hoyer off the field before the Browns got to midfield. This week's starting back, Denard Robinson, tore for 14 yards on an off-tackle rush on the Jags' very first offensive play, the beginning of the best day by any Jags running back this year (62 first-quarter yards, 122 yards and a TD on the day).
The Jags kept eight in the box early, stalling Ben Tate and forcing the Browns into third-and-longs aplenty. Then the first Blake Bortles pick, returned into the Jags' red zone. The defense, tougher with each passing week, especially the front seven, held them to three downs and a field goal.
Early in the second quarter, all looked swell (except for Bortles), despite the 3-0 deficit. Bortles got some short passes going, but lacked the line protection to go deep reliably. Blitzes are still a problem for the Jags' overmatched line.
Bortles threw his second pick in Jaguars territory, with the Browns already up 6-0, but the Jags' defense held, setting up a two-minute drill. Quick strikes to Robinson and Clay Harbor and a timely defensive penalty set up a 41-yard catch-and-run TD to Robinson and gave the Jags a halftime lead. Hoyer Country? Not so much.
After a dynamite halftime performance by the Bethune-Cookman marching band, the second half was on — the Jags with the ball and the lead going into the final 30. A huge Hoyer fumble recovery gave way to the Jags taking over inside the Browns' 30, setting up a Josh Scobee chip shot. Armed with the lead, the defense was amped and Hoyer was shaken.
The Jags got a great third-quarter drive, highlighted by a couple Bortles runs. Jedd Fisch's offense … More
There's a recurring theme for Jags fans: watching former Jags depart and become the players that the Jags hoped they'd be when they picked them up. Reggie "The Eraser" Nelson. Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton. Jeremy Mincey. All of these guys moved on and became integral to winning operations.
Did they just suck when they were here? Did they just dog it, like Aaron Ross and Hugh Douglas? Not necessarily, says Mincey, now a member of the Dallas Cowboys, who went to 5-1 after upsetting the Seahawks this week. He says the problems former Jags had here had a lot to do with the organization itself.
"The organization will do you wrong," Mincey told me last weekend. The biggest issue is that the Jags destroy their players' passion. "Some people's ability makes a team better, but the man with the passion makes you a winner."
Manufacturing passion has been an issue for the Jags in recent years, and the solution of the current regime has been to go young.
This week's game pitted two rookie running backs against each other — the Jags' Storm Johnson and the Titans' Bishop Sankey. Both of these guys waited their turn behind plowhorses, with coaches taking their time pushing them out there. Going into the game, a reasonable expectation was that the team with the best running game would win. The local media hyped Storm, who found time to follow seemingly everyone in Jacksonville on Twitter over the last couple of weeks.
A shame that Storm's Twitter followers couldn't block for him. He could've used the help.
The game started out, improbably, with the best five minutes of Jaguar football this year. Bortles marched the Jags down the field, using Harbor and Hurns on key plays, drawing a pass interference with A-Rob in the end zone, and Johnson got the score on a one-yard plunge. The defense stepped up on the next drive, and it looked real out there. Like … More
Another week for our beloved Jaguars, another loss. For the first time in a while, though, the Jags were in the game into the fourth quarter — an unavoidable contrast from the coda of the Chad Henne era, just two short weeks ago. For a lot of Jags fans, that was probably enough — an exhibition of workmanlike competence on both sides of the ball that we haven't seen in these parts since the days of David Garrard and Jack Del Rio.
We can pick apart the plays that led to the defeat. That pick-six Blake Bortles threw early in the fourth quarter didn't help, and it was pretty easy to see it coming, as Bortles likes that short, quick out pattern and he likes to throw it to Allen Hurns. Another decision that likewise didn't help happened a few minutes later, when the Jags punted on fourth and one at midfield.
Bortles and Coach Gus Bradley said all the right things in the post-game pressers. Bradley said, correctly, that "the arrow is up," that the team "did better in all three phases of the game," pointing to the Jags' four sacks on Roethlisberger, along with a forced fumble. And Bortles was, as ever, a class act, crediting Henne with mentoring him, deflecting blame from Hurns for the backbreaking interception, and saying — surprisingly given that they totaled a meager 52 yards — that the "running backs all did a good job."
It's easy enough, at 0-5, to take the view that a loss is a loss is a loss. But longtime Jags fans likely are reassured by the poise Bortles exhibits both on and off the field. He lacks the thin skin of the departed Blaine Gabbert, remembered best for yelling "whoa there motherfucker" after getting chased out of bounds a couple of years back, and for blocking his multitude of critics on Twitter. It's telling that, even with a fanbase that still rocks the throwback Matt Jones jerseys, there is no retroactive love for Gabbert, who is … More
And so begins the next New Era in Jacksonville Jaguars football, with Blake Bortles getting his first NFL start. Irrational exuberance is the watchword: I know of at least one person who benched Aaron Rodgers for Das Wunderkind in fantasy football, in what was an exercise in wish fulfillment writ large. (If that's a money league, buddy, I want in next year).
The start of the game, despite a Toby Gerhart fumble 12 seconds in, was encouraging. Bortles' passes were crisper than fresh celery, taking advantage of strong line play in the first couple dozen plays. He had the time to make reads, which resulted in a nine-completion, 83-yard first quarter; also, Denard Robinson looks to be learning the running back position, even taking over some inside runs (which may be preferable to leaving that duty to the motorless Gerhart). The defense had yet to be exposed, yet.
Small victories, right?
Jags fans sat and waited for the collapse, but Bortles kept them in the game until the second half. Deep to Allen Hurns, then a TD toss to a dude they just picked up from the Saints practice squad. If it were up to Bortles and our scrapheap wideouts, the Jags would have won. But the outcome this week was determined by that festering wound we call a pass defense.
The secondary, with or without the concussed Dwayne Gratz, is not NFL caliber. Probably, with some coaching and acclimation, they could function reasonably well in the Canadian Football League. Maybe not. The issue, after all, is coverage, and Canadian fields are even bigger, with even more open space.
Down 10, the Chargers began to jump Bortles' routes. The second half was ugly, yes, with Keenan Allen looking like J-Smooth in his big game against the Ravens —catching bombs from the Chargers QB.
Despite the obliteration of the third quarter, the Jags were only down 13. Compare that to the Colts catastrophe or the can of whoopass the Washington Racistnames opened on them, and it does … More
In the last two decades, Jaguars fans have seen plenty of quarterback changes. Brunell for the ineffective Beuerlein, which no one mourned. Leftwich for Brunell, in Del Rio's first year, which occasioned racially-coded disses of B-Left the whole time he was here. Garrard for Leftwich, which happened with all of the smoothness of an Arab Spring revolution. Gabbert in, Gabbert out.
And now, hopefully, the last one for a while: Bortles for Henne.
Bortles took over in the second half, the team down 30-love, after one of the worst halves of football in franchise history, and the fans (most of whom stuck around through halftime, remarkably) cheered him as loudly as they booed the doomed Henne. He looked decisive and — in garbage time especially — competent. Not on that Kirk-Cousins-against-the-Jaguars way, maybe, but he made his reads, evaded pressure, and did all of the things a fan would want him to do. And hey, it's worth noting that the Jags won the second half 17-14, if you're into moral victories.
Bortles is the team's third attempt in two decades at drafting a franchise quarterback. He is singular, in that he has the smarts and toughness Leftwich had, but (unlike Leftwich) he is guaranteed to be beloved in this market unless he is a Gabbert-level flop. He will be allowed to make his mistakes. And so too will Coach Gus, who starts the second straight year in an 0-3 hole.
The offensive line, an embarrassment all year, seemed to hold a little better for the rookie … at least this outing. The open question though is what happens to all of this good feeling when the novelty wears off. There were times in the first half, for example, when the defense appeared at times to have quit, or at least to lack the conditioning to play all out on a warm September afternoon.
During a tightly scheduled post-game press conference, Gus Bradley sounded very enthusiastic. And why wouldn't he? Despite being stomped on the field, the … More

Photo Flash: Poster for Schwarzenegger's THE LAST STAND
After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.
With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez' path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever.
At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

One of the most amusing things I've witnessed as a military spouse is the continuous competition between branches of the military. My very proud Army infantry soldier of a husband certainly is no different than the rest when it comes to taking little jabs at other branches. His best friend just happens to have served in the Air Force, along with many members of his family, so he's always picking fun at airmen.
With the months-long onslaught of structure, brush and wild fires in Southeast Georgia, there's no better time to brush up on fire prevention and safety guidelines.
As a Vietnam veteran and a resident of Liberty County, where so many trees have been planted in recent years in memory of fallen warriors from Fort Stewart, I took a special interest and satisfaction in the recent success of our U.S. military taking down enemy No. 1 in the war on terrorism, Osama bin Laden.

I concur with Jameson's opinion that the senator certainly should be considered a true American hero for what he personally endured while serving his country in Southeast Asia.
There's nothing nuanced about Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens' understanding of the state's "open meetings" law - and that's a good thing.
Each year since 1969, the federal government has spent more than it has taken in from taxes, causing the United States Treasury Department to borrow to keep up with Congressional spending. The federal fiscal year starts Oct. 1 and during the first four months of this year, the treasury has had to borrow $169 billion just to pay interest on the borrowed money.
Normally, an uptick in the unemployment rate would not be considered good news. But it is a peculiarity of the economic recovery that April's increase in the unemployment rate from 8.8 percent, a two-year low, to 9 percent is actually cause for optimism.
Finally, our summer vacation has been planned. I'm quickly learning that making plans as a civilian and making plans as a military dependent are two very different things.
