Political Correctness: Tyranny Of The Mind
In a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, dated September 23, 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." By any definition that Jefferson could have envisioned, today's political correctness can only be regarded as "tyranny over the mind of man." Forget freedom of association, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, or freedom of privacy, political correctness demands that we don't even have freedom of thought or opinion. If one does not have the freedom to live in good conscie...

A Design Evinced
Can one imagine how difficult it was for America's founders to actually make the decision to separate from Great Britain? England was the Motherland. The Crown was the central government. For all of their lives, the government of Great Britain was the only government they had ever known. The history of England was their history. Not only that, these men had never experienced any other system of government. Neither was there history to guide them. A monarchical form of government was all they knew. The "divine right of kings" was inculcated into their hearts and minds via virtually every es...

Here Is Who I Am
Last Sunday, May 3, was my 63rd birthday. Accordingly, it is time for my annual "Come Clean" column. I think it only fair that readers should have an opportunity to learn a little something about the person who writes the words they read. Today's column is designed with that goal in mind. And since Charley Reese (one of my favorite columnists) stopped writing, I am the only national columnist that does this, as far as I know. So, here goes. I was born and raised in a small town in northern Indiana. My father and mother were dedicated Christians. Dad was a welder by trade and a membe...

America's Greatest Threat
What is America's greatest threat? Some would say it is illegal immigration. Some would say the Muslim people. Some would say homosexual marriage. Some would say ISIS. But none of these are America's greatest threat. At the expense of sounding preachy, America's greatest threat is GOD. Rightly did Benjamin Franklin say, "God governs in the affairs of men." And, rightly did Thomas Jefferson say, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever." Amen. But the understanding of the Natural Law principl...

Jeb And Hillary: The Worst Of Evils
Does anyone in the country want to see another Bush vs. Clinton presidential race? If they do, they have a death wish for America. It is not uncommon these days to hear people refer to Jeb and Hillary as the "royals." And, while I'm glad that a lot of people seem to have a natural revulsion to having another Bush or Clinton in the White House, the fact is, the Bushes and Clintons are not two "royals." They are one CRIME FAMILY. One of the greatest hoaxes of modern times was the façade that the Bush and Clinton families were political adversaries, when the tr...

The Man Who Fired The Shot Heard 'Round The World
This Sunday, April 19, is rightly identified as "Patriots' Day." In truth, April 19, 1775, should be regarded as important a date to Americans as July 4, 1776. It's a shame that we don't celebrate Patriots' Day as enthusiastically as we do Independence Day. It's even more shameful that many Americans don't remember what happened on this day back in 1775. This was the day the "shot heard 'round the world" was fired. It was the day America's War for Independence began. Being warned of approaching British troops by Dr. Joseph Warren (who di...

Rand Paul: Pros And Cons
On Tuesday of this week, Rand Paul made it official that he is a candidate for the office of President of the United States. As I did with Ted Cruz a few weeks ago when he announced his candidacy for President, I want to give readers a preliminary assessment of Senator Paul's pros and cons. Be mindful, again, that this is a preliminary assessment and is subject to change as more information becomes available. For those who may not know, Rand's father, former congressman Ron Paul, and I have been friends for many years. I campaigned heavily for Ron's presidential campaign in 2008, an...

Operation Jade Helm: Should We Be Worried?
For two months this summer, the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) will conduct Realistic Military Training (RMT) Operation Jade Helm 15 (JH 15) in seven Southwestern U.S. states: California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Military spokesmen say the operation is merely a standard training exercise designed to prepare Special Forces troops for warfare overseas. According to the London Daily Mail, Army spokesman Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria said, "'This exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for Army Special Operations Forces because the...

Ted Cruz: Pros And Cons
Texas Senator Ted Cruz made his candidacy for President of the United States official this week. He is the first Republican to officially jump into the presidential race. He chose my alma mater, Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, to make the announcement. Readers immediately inundated me with requests for my thoughts on his candidacy. Today's column will attempt to answer those requests. Mind you, these are preliminary thoughts, subject to change one way or the other as I learn more about Senator Cruz. Before I list what seem to me to be more obvious pros and cons of his candidacy, let ...

America's Pastors Are Doing More To Enslave Our Country Than Any Forei...
Having to write this column is so very frustrating. I think I'm beginning to know how the Old Testament prophets of Israel felt. And how they basically felt was ALL ALONE. Their messages were not popular, to say the least. Many of them faced, not only the ire and condemnation of the citizens of their country, but also the abuse and persecution of the established powers. And believe me, if some of the "good Christian" people who have written me the past three or four weeks had the legal power to do it, Chuck Baldwin would have already faced the same fate of the prophets of old. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT....

Special-ops units and drones may increase in future military
The Pentagon has said UAV programs are likely to be spared large funding cuts amid a major push in Congress to reduce overall spending. That suggests local operations for Northrop and General Atomics will remain strong if not grow.
Defense analysts said the worldwide drone market is projected to double in size — to more than $11 billion by 2020.
As more government dollars are being poured into special ops and unmanned surveillance, some analysts voice caution about the trend while others acknowledge the United States may not need 11 aircraft carriers, at about $4 billion each, and ground brigades stationed in foreign countries.
Mackenzie Eaglen of the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., points out that the U.S. is depending on big Air Force bombers and Marine landing-platform ships for its role in Libya.
"All these are types of capabilities that many people in Washington have said we don't need anymore," she said.
Loren Thompson of the Lexington Institute in Arlington, Va., said the United States has already made the necessary investment on special operations forces.
"It's a niche capability," he said. "We've got the best in the world, but you can't beat China with that kind of capability."
Staff writer Gary Robbins contributed to this report.

Loss of vision due to retinopathy is one of the long-term and potentially disabling complications of diabetes. A degenerative disorder, it sneaks up gradually. But what triggers diabetic retinopathy? University of Minnesota neuroscientist Eric Newman, Ph.D., who has studied the retina for more than 35 years, thinks he knows, and he's now testing a simple means that could combat it.
Results tagged "Discoveries in Diabetes"
For decades, researchers have focused much of their energy on minimizing the impact of diabetes. Because people with diabetes do not have functioning pancreas islet cells--essential for producing the insulin our bodies need--physicians and scientists have found ways to help them manage their blood sugar levels through lifestyle changes, medications, and insulin injections.
But Jakub Tolar, M.D., Ph.D., director of the University of Minnesota's Stem Cell Institute, wants to think much bigger. He doesn't just want to make it easier for patients to live with their diabetes; he wants to cure them of it.
Teddy bear delivers funding to researchers around the world, including one Minnesota expert in cystic fibrosis-related diabetes
He has toured 47 states and 23 countries to increase awareness of cystic fibrosis (CF)--a genetic disorder that causes mucus to build up and clog some organs of the body, primarily the lungs--and he gets hugs everywhere he goes. This furry advocate is Burke P. Bear, a cuddly teddy bear named in honor of Burke P. Derr, who died two days before his 19th birthday in 1997 from complications of CF.
Learn about how the U of M's trailblazing scientists are shaping the future of diabetes treatment at the first-ever Diabetes Spotlight on Thursday, May 29.
University of Minnesota professor and endocrinologist Elizabeth Seaquist, M.D., in January was named President of Medicine and Science for the American Diabetes Association, the nation's largest voluntary health organization leading the fight against diabetes.
The University of Minnesota and Harvard University will partner on a multicenter clinical study evaluating a potential treatment for kidney disease in people who have type 1 diabetes. The study will be funded by a $24.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Which is better at controlling type 2 diabetes, gastric bypass surgery or lifestyle management? That was the question University of Minnesota researcher Sayeed Ikramuddin, M.D.—along with scientists at Columbia University and in Taiwan—aimed to answer when they began a three-year study in 2011.
Research collaborators working with the University of Minnesota and University of Arizona embarked on a unique experiment in August. A donor pancreas, chaperoned by a graduate student, was fl own by commercial jet from Minneapolis to Tucson, Arizona. The goal: to see if a new organ preservation technique could extend the life of the donor pancreas. It did.
The University of Minnesota recently performed its 8,000th kidney transplant-which coincided with the 50-year anniversary of Minnesota's fi rstever kidney transplant, also performed at the U of M. In the past half century, the University has established its place as a world leader in solid organ transplant.

The Entire Recollect Brazil Meets: The RAY and the Promoters of Vocation
Between the 11th and the 15th of March the representatives of the RAY groups of the entire Brazil, as well as the promoters of vocation of the three districts of the Order that lived there, met in Rio de Janeiro. The Missionary Augustinian Recollect Sisters also participated.
Saint Augustine lived Holy Week and Easter Sunday with special intensity, not only because these days brought him personal memories of Easter in the year 387, when he was baptized with his son Adeodatus and his friend Alypius, but also because these sacred days provided a special opportunity for catechesis and for living the faith in community.
The Program of the Renewal Course for Europe which will take place in Rome, on June 21 to July 18, has just gone public. To the threefold topic of reflection is added the incentive of the particular experience of prayer and of living together in the privileged atmosphere of the Eternal City.
Miguel Ángel Peralta: "Evangelization strengthens the commitment of the laity as indispensable members of the Church."
The Augustinian Recollects are evangelizing the bank of River Purús, in the state of the Amazonas, for 90 years. They arrived first at Lábrea, and from there they evangelized the small riverside communities. Later on the municipalities of Canutama, Pauní and Tapauá were established.

Will 2012 see influx of 'acting' leaders?
Wednesday - 1/4/2012, 6:57pm EST
2012 is, of course, an election year. But along with a year of political campaigning and partisan wrangling the upcoming election also means many political appointees may head for the exits.
When In Depth with Francis Rose asked experts for their 2012 predictions at the end of last month, Stan Soloway, the president of the Professional Services Council, predicted 2012 would be known as the "year of the acting" — referring to the influx of acting directors, secretaries and administrators that would be ushered in if political appointees step down.
Soloway expanded on that idea, explaining whether he thinks attrition will be worse this year compared to other election years as well as how temporary leadership impacts industry.

It was either fitting, or ironic, that two games ended with two standing ovations for two such similar players. Elena Delle Donne and Breanna Stewart. Except that maybe - probably, even - nobody in women's basketball has them occupying the same airspace.
Delle Donne's college career ended Saturday at Webster Bank Arena in the Sweet 16, succumbing to Kentucky and Kastine Evans' killer three late in the game. When it ended, a UConn crowd gave Delle Donne a standing ovation, prompting a tweet from Elena after the game saluting UConn's "classy fans."
Stewart's college career, meanwhile, accelerated into the passing lane a few hours later, helping the Huskies reach the Elite Eight for the eighth straight season. "Stewie," as her teammates call her, was magnificent: 17 points, eight rebounds, a 3-pointer and four blocks.
So maybe this is the time to issue this piece of breaking news: While we all can't seem to get enough of Elena here � we already have Elena here.
And her name is Breanna Stewart.
Breanna Stewart can do all the things Elena Delle Donne can.
She might leave here as UConn's greatest player.
Because while we all hyperventilate over Delle Donne's ability to dominate inside and outside, the 6-foot-5 forward with the finesse of a guard, Stewart owns the same set of skills.
"She's a freshman. But she has a lot of what Elena has," UConn associate head coach Chris Dailey said.
Later, Dailey said, "The only reason I didn't want (Delaware) in our bracket is because it all becomes about Elena leaving Connecticut. There should be a moratorium, just like with Samarie (Walker of Kentucky, also a former UConn player). One year after they leave, it's over. Just stop talking about it. We have the players who are here."
And what other player in the country would you want right now more than Stewart?
And if you answered "Griner" or "Diggins" just remember: They're done in the next 10 days, win or lose. Stewart has three more years.
"(Stewart) is working harder and when you work harder, you give yourself confidence," Dailey said. "It's like school. If you're more prepared to take an exam, you walk with your head up, knowing you'll do well. Maybe the last month or so, she's spent more time working on it, concentrating."
Stewart does not have, say, Diana Taurasi's charisma. (Who does?) But she's far less stoic than Delle Donne, a sense of humor in there dying to surface. It could make her a fan favorite when this is over. That and the ability to parlay blocks, dunks and threes.
"Your greatest weakness is your greatest strength," Dailey said. "She's a little bit of a goofball off the court, just going with the flow. It's also a weakness in basketball when you are trying to play at a certain intensity level. She's learning how to balance that."
Happily, though, Stewart's progression is noteworthy.
It was after the first loss to Notre Dame this season, the one-pointer at Gampel Pavilion, that UConn coach Geno Auriemma ran his hand through his hair, as he does in times of distress.
He was wondering about whether Stewart, shaped a lot like 6 o'clock, would be ready for being a nightly punching bag.
"She's maybe not as big as most players, so they think it's easy to beat her up," junior Stef Dolson said. "But now if someone is going to push her, she rolls right off them and drives to the basket."
Dailey: "Maya (Moore) didn't like the physical part of the game, either. But it's a matter of learning how to handle it."
Auriemma: "Stewie can't match up with some players physically. She's got to be one step ahead of them, a little quicker, a little smarter. That takes time. Right after the Big East tournament, I saw a change in her. She started getting more involved in what we were doing rather than just drifting and hiding."
There was no hiding Saturday. The Player Everybody Came To See was left to exit, stage right. The Player Nobody Came To See, the one with the same set of skills, exited to a standing ovation.
You always wanted Elena here, you say?
You've got her.
And they call her Stewie.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

2007 Florida Atlantic Owls
Bar none, the Owls were the story in the Sun Belt in 2007, delivering a
bunch of school-firsts under Howard Schnellenberger, led by their first league
championship and first bowl game. Battle-tested by a rugged schedule and led by
the deft passing of Rusty Smith, Florida Atlantic went 6-1 in the league,
regularly finding ways to overcome a gambling defense that allowed 33 points a
game. The turning point for the fledgling program came on Dec. 1, when the Owls
upset conference favorite Troy in Alabama to win the league title.
Offensive Player of the Year: QB Rusty Smith
Defensive Player of the Year: LB Frantz Joseph
Biggest Surprise: Only one team from Florida won a bowl game this year,
and its home is in Boca Raton. While Florida, Florida State, South Florida, and
UCF were losing, Florida Atlantic was making history in the New Orleans Bowl,
upsetting Memphis, 44-27, in the Owls' first experience in the postseason.
Biggest Disappointment: As good as the Owls were at home this year,
beating Minnesota and testing South Florida, they did lose to UL-Monroe on Oct.
27, their only conference loss of the year. In a three-overtime marathon, the
Warhawks prevailed on a Calvin Dawson touchdown run from 31 yards out.
Looking Ahead: By Sun Belt standards, Florida Atlantic is a locomotive
these days, looking to capitalize on the success of last year with deeper
recruiting classes and more support at the turnstiles. The return of Smith and
his top 10 pass-catchers from 2007 mean the Owls will be playing as the league
favorite in 2008.

Florida Atlantic 38 ... Troy 32
Florida Atlantic won the Sun Belt title and a trip to the New
Orleans Bowl by forcing three turnovers and getting two second half touchdown
passes from Rusty Smith. DiIvory Edgecomb started out the scoring with a
one-yard run, and Willie Rose ran for a 41 yard touchdown, but Troy kept the
pressure on with four Greg Whibbs field goals in the first half and two Omar
Haugabook touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. The Trojans pulled within six
on a 14-yard Gerald Tate catch with 4:25 to play, and then held as Troy got to
the Owl 30 in the final minute before sputtering out.

nothing to the Sun Belt title and a bowl game. This has been an amazing job done
by Howard Schnellenberger and his staff to create a program good enough to play
at such a high level in the clutch. This hasn't exactly been a consistent year,
but with the emergence of Rusty Smith, the offense has turned into one good
enough to pounce on mistakes. Troy screwed up, FAU didn't, and now the Owls are
off to the New Orleans Bowl.

Florida Atlantic 55 ... Florida International 23
Rusty Smith threw four touchdown passes two as part of a wild
28-point second quarter highlighted by a 69-yard scoring play to
Cortez Gent and a 68-yard touchdown run from Rob Housler. FIU scored
20 points in the fourth quarter to make the score cosmetically
closer, but it wasn't nearly enough as the Owls also put up 20. Amod
Ned scored twice for the Golden Panthers with a 32-yard run, and
with 35 seconds to play, a three-yard catch. FAU outgained FIU 571
yards to 377.

The Owls did what they needed to do to
get by the rivalry date with FIU and now can focus on the task at
hand: Troy. A win next week means a Sun Belt title and a trip to
face Memphis in the New Orleans Bowl, but to get it, the defense has
to be tighter than it was against the Golden Panthers and the
penalties have to slow down. Committing ten for 94 yards was an
issue, and since Troy turns the ball over, and FAU will likely win
the turnover battle, keeping the mistake to a minimum could mean a

Florida 59 ... Florida Atlantic 20
Florida got up to a quick 21-0 lead on a Kestahn Moore
nine-yard run, a blocked punt for a score, and a four-yard catch
from Cornelius Ingram, but Florida Atlantic made things extremely
interesting with a 20-point third quarter helped by a Rusty Smith
20-yard touchdown pass to Cortez Gent and a one-yard Smith run. A
Tim Tebow 26-yard scoring pass to Ingram with nine seconds to play
in the first half started a run of 31 unanswered points. With a
five-yard touchdown run, Tebow set the record for SEC rushing
touchdowns with 20.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
Owls were never going to beat Florida, but they did come up with a
nice second quarter when the offense got moving and Rusty Smith got
on a roll. Even in the blowout, the receiving corps, particularly
Cortez Gent, had a nice day. The second half was all Florida with
the FAU defense unable to handle the Gator speed, but there won't be
that problem against FIU or Troy to close out.
Nov. 10
Florida Atlantic 34 ... Arkansas State 31
FAU rallied from down 11 in the fourth with a 56-yard
touchdown pass from Rusty Smith to Willie Rose, and then DiIvory
Edgecomb gave the Owls the lead for good on a six-yard scoring pass.
ASU got Reggie Arnold touchdowns from 15, two and four yards out and

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
Owls kept the Sun Belt title hopes alive with the thrilling win over
Arkansas State, and not it just needs to get by FIU before it can
deal with Troy. First, they have to play Florida in Gainesville, and
while it's an obvious mismatch, if Rusty Smith can start bombing
early on the suspect Gator secondary, things could get interesting.
Smith had to take on the offense with the running game struggling
yet again, but still FAU is two Sun Belt wins away from going to New

UL Monroe 33 ... Florida Atlantic 30 3OT
Calvin Dawson ran for a 31-yard touchdown in the third
overtime to answer Warley Leroy's third field goal of the game. The
Owls forced overtime with a rally from ten down in the final seven
minutes, getting a 36-yard Leroy field goal and with just over a
minute to play, a one-yard Charles Pierre touchdown run. Neither
team could get on the board in the first overtime and the two traded
field goals in the second. The two teams traded scores all game long

FAU couldn't afford a letdown like the
one against UL Monroe. The Owls came up with a nice comeback to
force overtime, but they didn't take advantage of all their chances
throughout the game and they got burned. The run defense was better
this week considering it was dealing with Calvin Dawson and the
rumbling Warhawk ground game, but it's going to have to be a whole
bunch better to beat Arkansas State in the home finale next week.
Rusty Smith might not be razor-sharp, but he's proving to be a star
to build around.

Florida Atlantic 39 ... UL Lafayette 32
Rusty Smith threw four touchdown passes, including a 17-yarder
to Cortez Gent with seven seconds to play to force overtime, and
then Charles Pierre ran for a one-yard score to put the Owls ahead.
ULL stalled on its overtime drive, and FAU escaped. The Ragin'
Cajuns overcame a 17-9 second half deficit with a blocked field goal
for a touchdown from Jarrett Jones and touchdown runs from Chance
Roberson and Michael Desormeaux, with a 32-yard dash giving them a
32-25 lead with a minute remaining, but Smith was too hot, going 64
yards in five plays to keep the game alive. ULL ran for 317 yards,
FAU threw for 308.

Yeah, the run defense wasn't close against UL Lafayette two weeks
after getting rumbled on by South Florida, but with Rusty Smith
bombing away with seven touchdown passes in his last two games, the
Owls have found their star. No one in the Sun Belt can bomb like FAU,
with the possible exception of Troy, and with this win, the Sun Belt
title dreams are still there. Now if the only the linebackers could
come up with a big play.
Oct. 6
South Florida 35 ... Florida Atlantic 23
The final score wasn't quite indicative of how close USF came
to blowing it. The Bulls turned it over four times, but got a huge
day from RB Benjamin Williams, who scored from five, nine, and 54
yards out before finally putting it away with a nine-yard run with
29 seconds to play. FAU hung tough with Rusty Smith throwing three
touchdown passes, highlighted by a 47-yard play to DiIvory Edgecomb
late in the fourth to pull within five. USF outgained FAU 302 yards
to 152 on the ground, but only 424 yards to 411 overall.

might have lost to South Florida, but it has to be happy with the
way it played. The defense showed the great strides it's made, even
though the Bulls ran wild, while Rusty Smith held up well under the
pressure. Now the team has to take this momentum from the close call
into the Sun Belt play. If it plays like it did this week, there
won't be any worries against anyone in the league until the season
ender at Troy.

Kentucky 45 ... Florida Atlantic 17
Andre Woodson threw five touchdown passes, with two to Dicky
Lyons, and Micah Johnson returned an interception for a score, as UK rolled
after the first 20 minutes. FAU got a 20-yard touchdown catch from Cortez Gent
to pull within four, but the Wildcats cranked out a 24-point run to put it away.
Woodson's record setting streak of 325 passes without an interception came to a

Kentucky's offense is destroying everyone at the moment, so the Owls have to try
to put this big loss behind them as soon as possible and concentrate on trying
to topple South Florida. To do that, the running game has to be more effective
than it's been over the last few weeks, and Rusty Smith has to start pushing the
ball deeper. He was able to light up North Texas two weeks ago, but he struggled
against the UK secondary. The big issue was the third down defense, allowing
Andre Woodson and the boys to convert 11 of 16 chances. That has to tighten up
against the Bulls.

North Texas took a 20-10 lead late into the third quarter
helped by a 37-yard Jamario Thomas touchdown run and two 37-yard Thomas Moreland

Coming into the battle against the
suddenly high-powered North Texas offense, who would've predicted FAU's passing
game would be more effective? Rusty Smith is starting to find his groove, and
while it took almost 40 minutes for the team to get rolling, getting a second
Sun Belt win, especially on the road, will go a long way with dates against
Kentucky and South Florida ahead. Now the running game has to kick in, with
DiIvory Edgecomb and Charles Pierre each needing more work to balance things out.

Florida Atlantic 42 ... Minnesota 39
Florida Atlantic roared out to a 35-14 lead on four of Rusty
Smith's five touchdown passes, while the Owl defense hung tough
allowing just a 23-yard Eric Decker touchdown catch, to go along
with Minnesota's first score on a 91-yard kickoff return for a
touchdown from Jay Thomas. But the Gophers came back on three of
Adam Weber's four touchdown passes, with two to Ernie Wheelwright to
pull within seven with just over three minutes to play. The Gopher
offense got one last shot, getting down to the FAU 36, but Weber was
picked off by

While FAU can't be too happy with how
Minnesota was able to get back into the game in the second half, a
win over a Big Ten team might put the program on the map this year,
and is a desperately needed performance with three road games coming
up in the next four. The defense forced every Gopher mistake
possible, and the offense took advantage, but Rusty Smith bombed
away with his best game of his career. While the Owls would like to
be balanced, with the improved offenses around the Sun Belt, it's
good to know the offense can keep up if it needs to.

Oklahoma State 42 ... Florida Atlantic 6
Andre Sexton set the tone for Oklahoma State with a 14-yard

would've been nice to have followed up the big win over Middle
Tennessee with a nice performance against Oklahoma State, but that
was a fired up Cowboy team that wanted a big game after losing to
Georgia. The Owl offense didn't do nearly enough to help the defense
out, with few sustained drives and no running attack to provide any
sort of a threat, but that's going to happen against the better
teams. Now the Owls have to use the Minnesota game to establish a
pass rush before dealing with pass-happy North Texas and Kentucky
teams over the next two weeks.

While the offense might not have been spectacular against Middle
Tennessee, make no mistake about it; this was a statement game for FAU
in the Sun Belt race. The defense stuffed everything the Blue Raiders
tried to do on the ground, and outside of a late scoring drive, never
allowed the offense to get going. It was a group effort on D, getting
good help and decent pressure to make this a surprising walk in the
park. This was a Sun Belt championship-caliber performance.
Sept. 1 - Middle Tennessee
Offense: The offense was strange last year finishing sixth in the
league in total yards but first in scoring. In other words, the O took
advantage of almost every opportunity despite not being all that good
scoring on 33 of 36 chances in the red zone. Even without long-time
starting quarterback Clint Marks, the passing game can't help but better
whether it's Joe Craddock, or one of three other options under center.
The receiving corps is experienced, but unless Bobby Williams plays up
to his talent, it won't be much better. The running game will be the
strength with DeMarco McNair and speedsters Desmond Gee and Phillip
Tanner running behind a massive line.
Defense: This should be one of the Sun Belt's best defenses in
time, but only if the back seven can fill all the holes. The front four
will be regulars in the backfield with three all-conference caliber ends
in Erik Walden, Sean Mosley and Tavares Jones along with nose tackle
Trevor Jenkins. The linebackers are a big problem needing to replace all
three starters, but they aren't the problem the cornerbacks are. Bradley
Robinson is an all-star, but there's no depth and a concern at the
second spot. Damon Nickson will carry things for a while at safety.
Sept. 8 – at Oklahoma State
The potential is there for the nation's 16th
best offense and seventh best scoring attack to be even better.
Quarterback Bobby Reid lived up to the hype last season and proved he
could be a star. While he loses a great target in D'Juan Woods, he gets
Adarius Bowman back to go along with a slew of speedy but unproven
receivers to stretch the field. The 1-2 rushing punch of Dantrell Savage
and Keith Toston is among the fastest and most dangerous in America
running behind a decent line that has experience, but will be a work in
progress to find the right starting combination.
Defense: If nothing else, the defense was certainly interesting
with an aggressive style that produced a ton of sacks, plenty of tackles
for loss, and gave up too many big plays. New defensive coordinator Tim
Beckman will tone things down a little bit while still taking the fight
to the offense. The back seven will be terrific with a fantastic
linebacking corps, even with top middle man Rodrick Johnson playing end
and star Chris Collins trying to get through knee and off-the-field
problems, while the secondary will strong as long as injuries don't hit
the safeties. Experience on the line, especially at tackle, will be an
issue early on, but the starting ends, Marque Fountain and Nathan
Peterson, will be all-stars.
Sept. 15 - Minnesota
Offense: New offensive coordinator
Mike Dunbar and his spread offense might seem like a radical departure
for the Gophers, but the pieces are there, for the most part, for the
thing to work right away with small, athletic linemen, quick running
backs, and big receivers. The one thing missing is a steady quarterback
who can hit the open receiver on a regular basis, meaning the Tony
Mortensen vs. Adam Weber battle will go on until fall. Basically, the
offense will undergo a change to achieve the same rushing results with a
less effective passing game.
Defense: What the Gophers lack in talent they'll try to make up
for in intensity and experience. For good and bad, ten starters return
along with loads of experienced reserves to give hope for a big jump in
overall production after finishing 113th in the nation in defense.
However, there was a method to the old coaching staff's madness as the D
allowed yards, but went for the big play forcing 32 turnovers. The new
regime will be far more aggressive and take far more chances; they can
do that with a veteran group like this. The linebacking corps will be
the strength, while Willie VanDeSteeg and the line should get into the
backfield more often. Can the Gophers shut down a power running attack
or a high-octane passing game? No and no, but it'll be better in all
Sept. 22 – at North Texas
The offense hasn't moved the ball in two years
finishing 117th in the nation last season in yards and 115th in scoring.
The look of the attack will change dramatically as new head coach Todd
Dodge will incorporate his spread attack in an attempt to get something
going. The backfield is solid with RB Jamario Thomas leading the way and
a slew of veteran, yet mediocre quarterbacks returning. The receiving
corps will need a while to jell with all the talent in the incoming
freshman class, while the line will be a major problem early on.
Defense: The defense improved dramatically after making a drastic
move to the 3-4. Now it'll go back to a traditional 4-3 and hope the
overall experience and depth will pay off with more big plays after
forcing just 14 turnovers. The linebackers will be solid with the return
of Maurice Holman, Brandon Monroe and Derek Mendoza, while Aaron
Weathers anchors a secondary that should be better in time. Generating a
pass rush from the front four is a must, but Jeremiah Chapman will be a
good end to work around.
Sept. 29 – at Kentucky
Offense: The Wildcat offense exploded last year thanks to the
emergence of Andre Woodson as a superstar quarterback. It'll be bombs
away once again, as Woodson chose to come back for his senior year and
will have all his weapons at his disposal. Keenan Burton finally stayed
healthy, and he became one of the SEC's most lethal receivers. Dicky
Lyons, tight end Jacob Tamme, and running back Rafael Little are also
back, with Little healthy enough again to be one of the SEC's best
all-around offensive weapons. The problem is the line, which is mediocre
at best, a liability at worst. It could be what keeps the Wildcats from
being special.
Defense: Defensive coordinator Mike Archer is gone, and now
former secondary coach Steve Brown will take over in an attempt to
revive one of the nation's worst defenses. The run defense won't be any
good again with little size up front, but the secondary should be better
with excellent speed and good young prospects. It'll take awhile to see
any improvement overall, but there's enough overall athleticism to
expect things to be a bit better.
Oct. 6 - South Florida
Offense: This is Matt Grothe's offense, but unlike last season,
he shouldn't have to do everything short of crafting the weekly gameplan
in order to make the unit hum. Although he led the offense in passing,
rushing and scoring, the program realizes it needs to protect its most
important commodity and give him more support. Can freshman Mike Ford
live up to the hype? Plenty is expected from a back that should ignite
a rushing attack that did little in 2006 when Grothe wasn't slithering
through opposing defenses. Originally headed to Tuscaloosa, he's the
highest-profile recruit to ever sign with USF. The Bull receivers are a
dynamic bunch that's loaded with size, speed and underachievers that
need to get their act together.
Defense: Like all teams from Florida, the USF defense pursues
well and is built on speed. Wally Burnham's unit is well-coached,
prevents the big play and is vastly underappreciated and unnoticed on a
national level. That could change if the Bulls crack the top 10 in
total defense in 2007, a distinct possibility. Next level corners Trae
Williams and Mike Jenkins allow the defense to sell out on occasion, and
the front four, led by sophomore rush end George Selvie, returns seven
linemen that started games in 2006. Importing defensive line coach Dan
McCarney and linebacker Tyrone McKenzie from Iowa State were coups
that'll pay immediate dividends.
Oct. 20 – at UL Lafayette
Offense: The nation's seventh best rushing team two years ago,
and 11th best last year, ULL will run more than ever with the return of
two-time 1,000-yard back Tyrell Fenroy, speedy Deon Wallace, and running
quarterback Michael Desormeaux. The receivers aren't used much, but
they're experienced enough to make plays when they get the chance. The
offensive line isn't deep, but the starting five will end up fine. The
team will hope for around 2,500 rushing yards, and around 60% completion
percentage throwing it.
Defense: New defensive coordinator Kevin Fouqueir won't change
too much from one of the Sun Belt's better defenses. Five starters
return, along with a few others with starting experience, to form a
solid run defense that needs to be tighter against the pass. The
secondary will give up completions, but it's not going to get beaten too
often. The front seven should be great with a nice blend of talents and
depth to form a good rotation almost everywhere. If ULL doesn't lead the
league in run defense, it'll finish second.
Oct. 27 - UL Monroe
Offense: The best offense in the Sun Belt gets 11 starters back
led by RB Calvin Dawson working behind a terrific line with several
all-star candidates. QB Kinsmon Lancaster has a year of starting
experience under his belt, and he has all his top targets to get the
ball to including LaGregory Sapp and tight end Zeek Zacharie. While the
attack will spread it out and allow Lancaster to use his mobility and
big-time arm to find the right receiver, it'll be Dawson who carries the
workload when things get tight.
Defense: The same problems ULM had last year appear to be the
same issues going into this year with a questionable run defense and no
proven pass rush, but the strength, the secondary, will be the same even
without Kevin Payne and Chaz Williams. The 4-2-5 did its job against
mediocre offenses, but got ripped apart by any offense with a pulse.
Unless the line is better, the Warhawks will be pounded on by everyone
in the Sun Belt.
Nov. 10 - Arkansas State
Offense: Run, run and run some more. At least that's what ASU has
done over the last several years, and it has the talent in the backfield
to do it again with speedy quarterback Corey Leonard leading a loaded
group of runners with several great backs to hand off to. Reggie Arnold
is the best of the bunch, but he's one of just four good options to
carry the load. Two problems with what ASU likes to do. 1. The line
needs major revamping losing three key players and 2) the receiving
corps might be the team's second biggest strength behind the running
backs. The underutilized corps has speed to burn, but Leonard couldn't
get them the ball on a consistent basis last season. That has to quickly
Defense: It's all up to the defensive line. The linebacking
corps, despite some huge losses, will be surprisingly solid with Koby
McKinnon returning with plenty of help around him. The safeties are
tremendous with Tyrell Johnson and Khayyam Burns each on the fast track
to All-Sun Belt honors. The corners are deep and potentially a major
strength of the defense. And then there's the line, which has to figure
out how to get to the quarterback at some point. The return of Brian
Flagg and Brandon Rollins from injuries will be a huge boost. The 4-3
alignment works, and it should produce the league's best statistical
pass defense.
Nov. 17 – at Florida
Offense: Now it's time to see how this baby runs. Now the
Urban Meyer spread offense will do what it's supposed to with Tim Tebow
at the controls full-time, and with a slew of speedy players around him.
The offensive line isn't going to wow anyone, but it's experienced, and
good enough to win with. The receiving corps has explosion, led by Percy
Harvin, Andre Caldwell, and some tremendous tight ends, and the running
backs, with the emergence of smallish speedster Chris Rainey, will have
more pop. Now it's up to Tebow to not only shine, but stay healthy with
two true freshmen behind him.
Defense: This is what's called giving Florida the benefit of the
doubt. Anyone else replacing nine starters, needing a slew of true
freshman to play big roles right away, and/or had the issues the Gators
have on the line and at corner, would be instantly dismissed from any
SEC East title talk much less the national championship discussion. The
recruiting classes have brought in a ton of ultra-fast, ultra-athletic
player for the back seven, but there isn't enough size up front, or
developed depth anywhere, to hope for any sort of consistency. No,
things won't fall off the map after finishing sixth in the nation in
scoring and total defense, but there will be some major growing pains to
fight through.
Nov. 24 – at FIU
Offense New offensive coordinator James Coley has a lot of work
to do with an offense that finished dead last in America in scoring
averaging fewer than ten points per game and 116th in the nation in
yards averaging 233 per outing. Eight starters return, including the
entire offensive line, and there's good potential in the backfield with
the 1-2 rushing punch of Julian Reams and A'mod Ned, but the passing
game needs work with Paul McCall likely to take over at quarterback and
no experience at receiver to rely on.
Defense: The defense did what it could with no help from the
offense, and now seven starters return with a shot to be among the
league's best. The secondary gets all four starters back, led by Lionell
Singleton at corner. The line is big and good with a pair of strong
300-pounders (Roland Clarke and Jonas Murrell) inside. Now for the
problem: the great linebacking corps loses all three starters. The top
four tacklers are gone, along with the top pass rushers. Keyonvis Bouie,
Alexander Bostic, and Antwan Barnes were stars who won't be easily
Dec. 1 – at
Offense: Spread it out with four wide receivers, let Sun Belt Player of
the Year Omar Haugabook throw to the open guy, hope it all works. This isn't an
explosive attack, and it won't be for a while with a mixed bag of talents on the
front line trying to fit the puzzle. The running backs are fine with the return
of Sean Dawkins helping out Kenny Cattouse, and Gary Banks and Mykeal Terry lead
an inexperienced receiving corps that'll be fine. But it's all up to Haugabook.
He's the difference between a second straight Sun Belt title and a losing
Defense: Troy won the Sun Belt title despite a mediocre year from the
defense. Now the D will be positively dominant with the best secondary and a
defensive line that's either the best, or a close second behind Middle
Tennessee's. Generating pressure won't be a problem with phenomenal pass rushers
from every spot, while the secondary will use five and six defensive backs at
times just to get all its talent on the field. The linebacking corps is the
weakness of the defense by default considering how good the line and secondary
will be, but it'll still be fantastic with Boris Lee and Marcus Richardson each
deserving all-star consideration.

Las Vegas, Nevada
My Rating
We loved everything about our experience except, we wish we had more time to roam around at each point the shuttle takes you, which made us feel rushed with our lunch and to get back for our helicopter ride back. Everyone was very friendly and informative. The boat ride could of gone a little further to really get a feel of the Colorado River. The Skywalk felt too commercialized by not allowing your own cameras and having photographers selling you over priced photos. My husband, son and I really had fun and have recommended this to friends already!

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Volvo XC90
By KBB.com Editors
With the increasing movement to smaller, more efficient vehicles, Volvo's XC90 strikes the perfect balance between car and SUV. Riding atop the previous-generation S80 chassis, the roomy and safe XC90 comes wrapped in a manageable size and equipped with a choice of a V6 or V8 engine. Although more expensive than similarly-sized vehicles from Nissan and Honda, Volvo's SUV is far more luxurious and is considered somewhat of a status symbol. Regardless of how you view the XC90, there is no arguing with the vehicle's rugged construction, all-weather capability, exemplary safety rating and strong resale value.
If you're not looking to carry half your kid's football team to practice and have a desire for an SUV that places safety and comfort front and center, the XC90 makes an excellent choice for the family transport.
If you're all about maximum interior space, the XC90's third-row seat is not well-suited for adults. Many families will find the V8's price tag a tough pill to swallow.
The new 3.2 model replaces the 2.5T and receives a 3.2-liter, in-line six-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission. All models receive a minor freshening both inside and out, as well as a standard tire pressure monitoring system. New audio systems feature an auxiliary input jack and CD/MP3 capability.
Driving Impressions The XC90 achieves impressive on-road performance via a combination of unique safety and stability devices. A combination of a wide stance and Volvo's Roll Stability Control (RSC) system is the...primary reason the XC90 can perform emergency maneuvers almost like a low-slung sedan.
Sliding Center Child Seat
The sliding center child seat allows a front-seat passenger to easily reach a child restrained in a safety seat in the second-row.
Roof Pillars
The XC90's roof pillars help protect the passenger compartment in the event of a rollover.
A lot of gray plastic and leather resides inside the XC90, although a smattering of wood trim helps warm things up a bit. Tending towards understated, the interior is tastefully appointed and very user-friendly. There is seating for five and the option of a forward-facing third-row seat. The driver and passenger relax in a comfortable pair of bucket seats featuring built-in whiplash protection. The XC90 is loaded with crash protection features such as front side-impact airbags, a head-curtain airbag running the length of the passenger compartment and a roof design intended to better resist collapsing in the event of a rollover. You'll also find subtle touches, such as the rear-seat sliding center section that allows a child in a safety seat to be moved closer to the front-seat passenger.Exterior
The XC90 looks like a bigger, taller version of the popular XC70 wagon. All the familiar Volvo styling cues are present, including the raised-V hood bulge and the elongated taillights running the length of the D-pillars. For 2007, the side mirrors receive integrated turn signals that automatically flash when slight pressure is applied to the turn signal stalk. The tall ride height does not translate into a tall step-up height, though, making entry and exit similar to getting in and out of a car. Volvo takes particular pride in the XC90's roof design, which can provide an added measure of security in the event of a rollover accident.
The XC90 3.2 features a six-speed automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), stability and traction control, a tire pressure monitor, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, front and rear fog lights, illuminated remote keyless entry, dual heated power mirrors, AM/FM stereo with CD, Volvo's Rollover Protection System, eight-way power driver's seat, front skid plate, cruise control, tilt/telescopic steering wheel with touch controls, trip computer, rear wiper/washer and 17-inch Neptune alloy wheels. The V8 trim adds all-wheel drive, rear air conditioning, automatic leveling, power glass moonroof, leather seats and 17-inch Anteaus alloy wheels.
Options for the 3.2 trim include the Premium Package, which features an auto-dimming rearview mirror, power moonroof, six-disc CD changer, power passenger seat and leather-surfaced seat trim. The Versatility Package adds rear air conditioning, automatic leveling, rear audio control, an integrated child booster seat and a leather third-row seat. The V8 offers a Touring Package that features Pro Logic II surround sound, a wood steering wheel and wood trim. Stand-alone options for the XC90 include active bi-xenon headlamps, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), navigation, upgraded audio with subwoofer and rear controls, dual-screen rear entertainment system and 18-inch wheels.
The new 3.2-liter in-line six gives the base model a significant advantage over last year's turbocharged in-line five-cylinder engine. More horsepower and torque help the big Volvo cruise up to speed a bit quicker, but many SUV owners just can't live without a V8. For them, the 4.4 trim level's hefty helping of torque and impressive horsepower vastly improves the performance figures. On the flip side, both engines require Premium Unleaded gasoline and the V8 engine option can push the XC90's price tag well out of many shoppers' ranges.

235 horsepower @ 6200 rpm
236 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3200 rpm

"My wife loves this vehicle. She owned it when we got married. In the last year or so it's been going down hill fast. The headliner is falling. The cloth on the A post is coming loose. Now it has an electrical gremlin. It's been acting really strange lately. Lights on , lights off, dash dead, dash works, tail lights that won't turn off. It's going in the shop this week and hopefully it's something minor. I've all about getting it fixed as cheap as possible and getting rid of it. ASAP!! I've been reading a lot of stories about Volvos having electrical problems. Yes they are safe cars. Built like a tank, but everything else isn't up to par."

It's virtually impossible to turn on the radio after you've gotten a phone call, the climate seems impossible to get comfortable, you have to have the instructions in hand to turn on a DVD for the kids, etc. As a woman, the part I hated most is THERES NO PLACE TO PUT A PURSE. Who design a car this century who doesn't expect women to drive. Very annoying.

In the almost year I've had it, I've only put 2K miles on it, paid $13K and have lost $4K of that in trade-in value. I want something much less costly when it needs lubricated or fixed, So far, I have spent oodles of money for new tires, all head and turn signal lights have been replaced, all 5 engine coils have been replaced. This has been an expensive vehicle to keep running in my experience. It gets terrible mileage, so I am looking for something newer that gets considerably better mileage and is good to go for at least a year with NO NECESSARY REPAIRS,"
