This week in college football offers games on four different days beginning with a Tuesday night kick-off. The week also delivers thirty-four conference matchups, five Top 30 (CCR Top 119) confrontations, twelve in-state battles and several interesting non-conference clashes. In all, there are 55 games on the schedule featuring 105 of the 119 division 1-A schools.
Fourteen teams are idle this week, including four in the ACC (Florida State, Maryland, North Carolina, N. C. State), three in CUSA (East Carolina, Marshall, Tulsa), two in the MAC (Buffalo, Western Michigan), two in the Big East (Louisville, West Virginia), two in the Big 12 (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State) and one in the SEC (Arkansas).
Ten teams experienced their first loss last week, reducing the number of undefeated teams to 19. Ohio State-Iowa is the only game this week that features two unbeaten teams.
11 teams are still looking for their first win. None of them go head-to-head.
All games Saturday unless otherwise indicated.
These involve teams ranked in the Top 30 of the CCR Top 119.
No. 2 Ohio State at No. 16 Iowa - The Buckeyes got crushed in their last trip to Iowa City, 33-7, in 2004. Drew Tate passed for 3 TD's and ran for another while OSU gained a paltry 27 net rushing yards. Ohio State has won nine of the last 10 contests and is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings at Iowa dating back to 1980.
No. 27 Alabama at No. 11 Florida - Alabama is behind the 8-ball after last week's loss at Arkansas. When you couple that defeat with the Tide's last-second home win over Vanderbilt, it begins to look like this could be a long season in the SEC for 'Bama fans. This is Alabama's first trip to Gainesville since 1999 (a wild 40-39 win) as they missed the Ron Zook era altogether and only made two visits to "The Swamp" during Steve Spurrier's reign. The Crimson Tide walloped Urban Myers' Gators 31-3 in Tuscaloosa last year.
No. 14 Boise State at No. 30 Utah - One of the more interesting matchups of the weekend. The Utes enter the game at 3-1 with their only loss coming at UCLA in the season-opener. Since then, Utah has outscored 1-AA Northern Arizona, Utah State and San Diego State by a cumulative score of 131-14. Boise State is 4-0 under first-year head coach Chris Petersen who was promoted from offensive coordinator when Dan Hawkins took the job at Colorado. The Broncos won each of their last two games - Wyoming and Hawaii - by a single touchdown after demolishing Oregon State 42-14 in week two. Heading into this contest, BSU has a legitimate shot at contending for a BCS bowl berth but would likely have to be undefeated to achieve the necessary ranking. (See BCS Explained.
No. 17 Texas Tech at No. 22 Texas A&M - The Red Raiders have won four of the last five matchups but the Aggies were the victors the last time they played in College Station in 2004. No. 19 Notre Dame at No. 25 Purdue - The Boilermakers lead the Big 10 in total offense which could be a big problem for the Fighting Irish. The Notre Dame "d" ranks closer to the bottom than the top in virtually every defensive statistical category. However, it should be kept in mind that Purdue's 41-16 win in 2004 was its first in South Bend since 1974.
All games Saturday unless otherwise indicated.
Virginia at Duke - This may be Duke's best chance for a rare ACC victory. The Blue Devils are 3-45 against ACC schools since the start of the 2000 season. They haven't defeated Virginia since 1999 and are 1-10 against the Cavaliers in the last eleven meetings. Virginia is just 4-8 in its last 12 ACC contests.
Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech - The Yellow Jackets play in Blacksburg for the second straight season, hoping to avenge last year's 51-7 blowout loss. Georgia Tech enters the game at 3-1 with a narrow 14-10 season-opening loss to Notre Dame as their only blemish. Since then, they've played three consecutive home games against 1-AA Samford, Troy and Virginia. The Hokies haven't faced a team the caliber of Georgia Tech as they've started 4-0 against 1-AA Northeastern, Duke, North Carolina and Cincinnati. Virginia Tech will be without the services of two starters - Chris Ellis and Josh Morgan - who were cited for misdemeanor charges of obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct early Sunday morning outside a Blacksburg nightclub. Ellis is one of the teams' top defensive players and Morgan is the second-leading receiver. Both were suspended for this week's game.
Rutgers at USF (Friday) - Stop the presses. Hell has frozen over. The Scarlet Knights are undefeated and ranked No. 23 in the AP, Coaches and Harris Polls. The CCR Top 119 has them ranked 21st. Both schools are dark horse candidates to win the Big East conference. Crazy as it seems, this would have been a battle of two unbeaten schools had South Florida not lost 13-7 at Kansas last week. The Rutgers receiving corps, which lost two players to injuries in training camp, lost 5th-year senior Shawn Tucker indefinitely to a broken foot suffered in this past weekend's game against 1-AA Howard.
Illinois at Michigan State - Will the Spartans recover from the fourth quarter meltdown against Notre Dame last week? Will Illinois ever win a Big 10 game under Ron Zook? The Fightin' Illini have lost 10 straight Big 10 games and 12 straight to 1-A teams.
Wisconsin at Indiana - Indiana has been out-rushed a combined 501 yards to 76 in back-to-back losses to 1-AA Southern Illinois and UConn. Wisconsin's P.J. Hill is the Big 10's No. 2 leading rusher at 117 yards per game. Head coach Terry Hoeppner's return from brain surgery should add an emotional spark to the Hoosiers this weekend. Indiana ended last season with six straight Big 10 losses.
Michigan at Minnesota - Michigan passed its first road test with flying colors - a 47-21 romp at Notre Dame, but Big Blue will be out for revenge at Minnesota. Last year, a 30-yard field goal with 1 second left gave Minnesota a 23-20 win over Michigan and possession of the Little Brown Jug for the first time since 1986. The Golden Gophers had dropped 16 straight to the Wolverines.
Ohio State at Iowa (also see "Top 30 Clashes" above)
Northwestern at Penn State
Colorado at Missouri - The Buffaloes are hoping to avoid being 0-5 for the first time since 1984. The Tigers are looking to be 5-0 for the first time since 1981.
Texas Tech at Texas A&M (also see "Top 30 Clashes" above)
Kansas State at Baylor
Kansas at Nebraska
Southern Miss at UCF (Tuesday) - Southern Miss won 52-31 in Hattiesburg last year in the first meeting between the two schools. In their preseason poll, CUSA media voted UCF as repeating champions in the east division and put Southern Miss in second place. The computer also put Southern Miss in second but it placed UCF in third. Memphis was the computer's pick to win the division but they've already lost a CUSA game to East Carolina. This is the conference-opener for both of these schools.
SMU at Tulane
Akron at Kent State - Projected by the computer in the preseason to go 3-9 over-all and 2-6 in the MAC, Kent State is off to a 2-2 start over-all and is 2-0 in conference play. That's quite a turnaround considering they entered this season on a 10-game losing streak and hadn't defeated a 1-A school since the final game of 2004. The Golden Flashes are fresh off of a 38-3 annihilation of Bowling Green last weekend after losing all 8 conference games in 2005. Meanwhile, Akron is 0-1 in the MAC after a 24-21 loss at Central Michigan two weeks ago. The Zips were the computer's preseason pick to repeat as east division champs. Despite all of that, Akron opened the week as a 2-1/2-point favorite in Las Vegas and the computer's pick by 5.40 points.
Northern Illinois at Ball State
Bowling Green at Ohio
Brigham Young at TCU (Thursday) - Coming off a bye week, TCU hasn't played since its 12-3 win over Texas Tech on September 16. BYU is just 2-2 with road losses to Arizona (16-13) and Boston College (23-20 in double overtime). Last year's game produced a wild 51-50 overtime win for TCU in Provo.
New Mexico at Air Force - Air Force was a 31-24 surprise winner at Wyoming last week to open their conference slate at 1-0, two weeks after nearly pulling off the upset at Tennessee in a 31-30 loss. New Mexico has been tough to get a handle on. The Lobos opened with a 17-6 home loss to 1-AA Portland State, then eked out a 34-28 win at New Mexico State. Since then, they lost at home to Missouri by 10 and broke through last week with an impressive 26-13 home victory over UTEP. They're 1-2 at home and 1-0 on the road.
USC at Washington State - USC says WR Dwayne Jarrett could miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained shoulder. Both teams are 1-0 in the PAC-10 after the top-ranked Trojans beat Arizona, and Washington State rolled over Stanford, last week. USC is 3-1 against the Cougars under Pete Carroll. Washington State beat him in 2002, but have been outscored 41-140 in the three games since then.
Washington at Arizona - After upsetting UCLA last weekend, Ty Willingham's Huskies are 3-1 over-all and 1-0 in the PAC-10. A win would this week would make them 4-1 for the first time since 2001. Arizona (2-2, 0-1) has won a total of 14 conference games since going 12-1 in 1998, and are 4-13 in PAC-10 games under Mike Stoops.
Oregon at Arizona State
California at Oregon State
Stanford at UCLA
Auburn at South Carolina (Thursday) - This game between No. 6 Auburn and No. 54 South Carolina has a lot riding on it. The Gamecocks were blanked in Columbia by Georgia in week two. Auburn has surrendered a paltry sum of 24 points in four games and 14 of those were given up in the opener to Washington State in a 40-14 win.
Alabama at Florida (also see "Top 30 Clashes" above)
Mississippi at Georgia
Mississippi State at LSU
Arkansas State at FIU - FIU has proven, thus far, to be much better than expected but just not good enough. They were computer underdogs by a total of 54 points in their first three games and lost them all by a total of just 11 points. They fell 14-10 at Maryland last week when QB Josh Padrick was intercepted at the 2-yard line on the last play of the game
Middle Tennessee at North Texas
Florida Atlantic at La.-Monroe
Idaho at Utah State - This is about as woeful as it gets. The No. 113 Vandals against the No. 117 Aggies. With Dennis Erickson back at the helm, Idaho is 1-3 and the only victory was a 27-24 nailbiter over rival 1-AA Idaho State. They hung tough in a season-opening 27-17 loss at Michigan State but were outscored 94-10 by Washington State and Oregon State. Meanwhile, Utah State has lost its four games by a cumulative score of 144-7 and hasn't scored a single offensive point. Its lone touchdown was on an interception return in the second quarter of its opening game against Wyoming.
New Mexico State at UTEP
All games Saturday unless otherwise indicated.
Four games this week feature the WAC against the Mountain West.
Boise State at Utah (also see "Top 30 Clashes" above)

Entry 1
Entry 1
Drake's Passage - 29 Mar 2004
I arrived in Stanley last week and it seems a life-time ago. The sun shone, Stanley was looking its colourful best - more 'Nissan-Hut' than 'Shanty Town', but all pinks and yellows. And the ground - now that was something special. It was steady, dependable and rock solid.
I am writing this in the middle of Drake's Passage on the Ernest Shackleton. The pictures tell the story; we are rocking and rolling our way south to a tune that lurches in all directions. The rest of the Rockhopper crew (Luke Winsbury and Saritha Wilkinson) are now old sea dogs having already made this crossing twice this March to film at Port Lockroy, Rothera and Danco. Thanks to them our project to produce 3 films about BAS from 1944's Operation Tabarin onwards is now well in hand. Ahead are close on 3 weeks more filming and these seas that keep crashing against my porthole.
There are moments when the ship's roll hits extra-high peaks and then crashes back down. At these moments I achieve state of weightlessness, hovering inches above my seat and s till typing away.
In 1944 the Operation Tabarin crew did this journey in a rickety
old bucket. How did they manage? Unlike me they had no Phenegan - a
wonder drug that has saved me from sea-sickness. The small print on
the label says that the dosage I have decided to self-administer
will cause heart-palpitations, baldness, multiple uncontrollable
face ticks, nightmares and violent mood swings. And both weight
gain and weight loss. And wind. And worse probably. Thank Heavens
for Phenegan, I say.

Luanda — The director general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO), José Grasiano da Silva, said Wednesday in Luanda that Angola has a strong potential for the development of family agriculture, being well placed at the Portuguese Speaking Community (CPLP) level.
José Grasiano da Silva was speaking to the press at the end of an audience with the Angolan minister of Agriculture, Afonso Pedro Canga.
The official said that a study conducted by FAO in the CPLP places Angola above Brazil, with a considerable advantage, in terms of family farm production.
The FAO director stated that the said study shows that Angola currently occupies in the family agriculture a population of 13,2 million people, while Brazil involves 12 million persons. "Therefore, Angola has one million people more involved in family agriculture as compared with Brazil," he stressed.
According to the source, Brazil was successful in promoting family agriculture, whereas Angola has a very big potential that boosts the development of the sector.
For this reason, he added, the two countries are interested to cooperate in experimental research, under United Nations mediation.
"FAO will mediate in the relation with the Brazilian Agro-farming Research Firm (Embrapa), with a view to accelerating the process of recovery of Angola's experimental research area in order to improve the country's performance in this matter," he stated.
As to the audience with the Angolan minister of Agriculture, José Grasiano da Silva said the meeting served to tackle matters concerning projects involving FAO and Angolan Government, based on a growing cooperation.
"The new areas that we today considered priority were within the assistance we are providing for family agriculture and trade. Making peasants more and more engaged and present in the market and stimulating them into increasing productivity so that the surplus can supply the local markets," he stated.
He added that the audience also served for the parties to review the south-south cooperation with other countries, with stress to the role of cooperation with Brazil's Imbrapa, in the recovery of Angola's experimental research capacity.
He recalled that in the past, that is before the war, Angola had an agro-farming and veterinary research system that equaled that of South Africa, and in some cases even taking the lead.
However, the specialist warned that the process of promotion of an experimental research system takes time and requires investment, but is also a opportunity to absorb the Angolan youths training in universities, both locally and abroad, to work in their own country and help strengthen the family agriculture.
In his turn, the minister of Agriculture Afonso Pedro Canga praised the relations of friendship and cooperation with Brazil as, he added, it permits the transfer of technology, expertise and dialogue, in addition to technical assistance.
The official also highlighted Brazil's experience in terms of agro-farming, admitting it to the right partner.

Phala hoped on to impress in 2013 Africa Cup of Nation shop window and turn down Stars contract. Thuso Phala's agent Tim Sukazi has told Goal.com South Africa that he will want to negotiate willingly with the right local or international club for the new Bafana player.
Thuso Phala's impressive performance which earned him a man of the match award when Bafana Bafana lost 1-0 against Norway should lead him to greater heights'.
"I know that Platinum Stars have said that they want to renew his (Phala) contract but I will have to consider it. At the moment it is hard to confirm what will happen since he made the Bafana squad for the Afcon," said Sukazi.
The agent confirmed that the manner of Phala's performance makes him confident that there will be plenty of offers.
"My first priority is the player's growth and those are the things that we will be looking at. Surely with his great performance, he is most likely to even attract the international market. If that happens I think it will be unfair of us to close the door for the player," he said.
His performance has made his agent Tim Sukazi re-consider the offer of Platinum Stars of renewing the right winger's contract which is due in July and known to the agent "the players game is his top priority".
"We discuss that with the player, because for us it is all about ensuring that our players get as much game time as they can wherever they are so that they stay fit," added Sukazi.
Phala's hard work at Platinum Stars was what earned him a Bafana Bafana call up ahead of Teko Modise and Andile Jali. His agent said he hopes that the nation now understands why Gordon Igesund opted for him.

The last message given to the world will be a message of the love of God. It will be a message that will show the true nature or character of God. How will that character be seen by the world? "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising." Isaiah 60:1-3. The character of God is to be seen by His last day church. But to be more specific, it will be seen through the 144,000 "which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth." Revelation 14:4.
"Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own." Ellen G. White, Christ's Object Lessons, 69.
God is not waiting for us to operate more printing presses and radio stations. He is waiting for us to choose Him before all things. He is waiting for us to become like Him in character.
There is no greater knowledge to be gained than that of the true character of God. This knowledge leads to life eternal. Jesus said, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." John 17:3.
We are not born into this world with a true knowledge of God. In fact, the vast majority of people in the world grow up with a misconception of the true nature of God. It is out of this misconception of God that we do harm to ourselves and others.
How do we obtain this knowledge? "By sin the image of God in man has been marred and well-nigh obliterated; it is the work of the gospel to restore that which has been lost; and we are to cooperate with the divine agency in this work. And how can we come into harmony with God, how shall we receive His likeness, unless we obtain a knowledge of Him? It is this knowledge that Christ came into the world to reveal unto us. . . Brethren and sisters, it is by beholding that we become changed. By dwelling upon the love of God and our Saviour, by contemplating the perfection of the divine character and claiming the righteousness of Christ as ours by faith, we are to be transformed into the same image." Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, 743, 744.
The opposite would also be true. If you choose not to behold Christ, then you will not come to know the true God. If you have misconceptions of God you character will remain imperfect. "The meager views which so many have had of the exalted character and office of Christ have narrowed their religious experience and have greatly hindered their progress in the divine life. Personal religion among us as a people is at a low ebb. There is much form, much machinery, much tongue religion; but something deeper and more solid must be brought into our religious experience. With all our facilities, our publishing houses, our schools, our sanitariums, and many, many other advantages, we ought to be far in advance of our present position." Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, 743.
As our knowledge of God is progressive so will be our spiritual growth. "And the years of eternity, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious revelations of God and of Christ. As knowledge is progressive, so will love, reverence, and happiness increase. The more men learn of God, the greater will be their admiration of His character." Ellen G. White, Great Controversy, 678.

Venue Information
In 1996, Paul G. Allen obtained an option to purchase the Seattle Seahawks and launched a campaign to win public support for a new world-class football/ soccer stadium and exhibition center. Six years later, the dream became reality as the Seahawks opened the 2002 preseason against the Indianapolis Colts in new Seahawks Stadium, renamed Qwest Field on June 2, 2004. After seven seasons, the field was renamed CenturyLink Field on June 23, 2011. The facility, built atop of the site of the Kingdome, is not only home to the Seahawks, but the stadium accommodates many levels of soccer competition, including Major League Soccer, amateur, international, World Cup and collegiate soccer.
CenturyLink Field is designed with a 67,000 seat capacity, with 5,000 additional seats available for special events, and 1,400 seats for fans with disabilities. With a roof covering 70 percent of the seating area, fans will enjoy wide, comfortable seats with sideline seating a mere 52 feet from the playing field and end-zone seats just 40 feet from the action. The facility also features a dozen elevators and expansive concourses with an ample provision of concessions stands and restrooms.
In addition to having perfect views of the field and surrounding areas, fans experience elements of diversity and culture in part of the Stadium Art Program. In 1998, a request for qualifications yielded a total of 254 responses from around the United States and Canada. After reviewing the full range of submissions, 12 artists and projects were selected. Today, the stadium includes nearly $2 million worth of art.
- 67,000 fixed seats – can be expanded to 72,000
- 63 restrooms (799 toilets/364 urinals) – twice as many as the Kingdome
- 1,400 seats for people with disabilities and their companions – compared to 70 at the Kingdome
- 10,000 cubic yards of concrete – equal to a 3' sidewalk from Seattle to Boise, ID
- 3,756 miles of cable – could reach from Seattle to just beyond the Panama Canal
- Over 800 televisions
- 12 elevators — compared to three at the Kingdome
- 50 Concession stands/47 Beer Concessions – twice as many per person as the Kingdome
- The roof is 760 feet long – the same as three Boeing 747's parked end-to-end
- The roof is 210,000 square feet – enough to cover 3.5 football fields
- The FieldTurf production used more than 35,000 recycled ground-up tennis shoes and 30,000 recycled ground up tires
- The roof contains 5,700 tons of steel – equal to 35 Statues of Liberty or 1,000 Orca whales
- 100% of the concrete from the Kingdome was processed and recycled (50% built into CenturyLink Field)
- Wide concourses offer outstanding views of the Seattle skyline, Safeco Field, the Cascades and Mt. Rainier, Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
- There is a 2,000 car garage – part of 6,500 spaces near CenturyLink Field.
The $430 million facility is owned by the public and was funded by a private-public partnership. Private contributions totaled at least $130 million, while the public contributed up to $300 million through a lottery and a variety of taxes generated by events in the stadium/exhibition center.
A breakdown of the funding package:
- $130 million private investment led by Paul Allen
- $127 million from new, sports related games, similar to the Mariners' baseball-themed scratch games
- $101 million in sales taxes collected in King County attributable to events in the stadium/event center
- $56 million from facility admission and parking taxes
- $15 million from extending King County's share of the existing hotel-motel tax
- $1 million per year of in-kind advertising for the new lottery games will be provided by Paul Allen
- All excess stadium revenues will fund youth athletic facilities throughout Wash ington State in addition to a $10 million contribution from Paul Allen
- $14 million of the public contribution will come from interest earned on the $50 million private contribution from Paul Allen
- Paul Allen agreed to pay for any construction cost overruns
- As an added measure, the debt on the Kingdome was retired, freeing property taxes for other purposes
First & Goal Inc.
In June of 1997, Washington State voters approved a funding package to build a new football/soccer stadium and exhibition center. With that, Paul G. Allen and Football Northwest created First & Goal Inc., an entity that represented the interests of CenturyLink Field in the construction of the new stadium and now manage the stadium and event center on a daily basis.

Remember the hate Bush got from pretty much every person from the western world ? It was kinda hip to hate on Bush, to call him ''stupid'' and ''dumb'', and honestly a lot of people probably believed that he really was dumb, taking presidentship of what is arguably the most powerful nation on earth, and a masters degree from Harvard for granted. I really hate when people simplify things....even though I, as every other human being, also do it at certain times. But enough of my rambling, to get back to my question, do you believe Obama is a better president than Bush was and if so why ?
What motivated me to make this thread is just a short clip I saw of the current US president indulging in silly populist behaviour to appease the masses, not saying it is wrong to do so as everyone does it but I really wonder when we will start to ignore things like that or rather not get affected by it.

Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel was seen walking across the University of Florida campus on crutches on Tuesday. So naturally, somebody had to take a picture of his doing so, and post it on Twitter. (The latter being @MattWatt5.) Driskel sprained his ankle in last Saturday's Gator win over Louisiana-Layfette. Gator head football coach Will Muschamp says Driskel is doubtful to play in this Saturday's Jacksonville State game. Muschamp also claims to have personally shaved Driskel's "black and blue ankle," which is something that Urban Meyer (or Skip Bayless) probably wouldn't have done for Tim Tebow. (via Throw the Flag.

Ask Dr. Howard Samuels A Question
OxyContin, a semi-synthetic narcotic, was manufactured to manage moderate to severe pain. OxyContin produces instant relief by numbing the pain and stimulating the pleasure receptors in the brain. The effects are parallel to that of opiates such as morphine and heroin. Because of the characteristics of opiates OxyContin has high potential to become addictive. Long term use of OxyContin increases the risk of developing an addiction. If you are not sure if you are experiencing OxyContin addiction, or are unsure if a loved one is suffering from OxyContin addiction there are signs to look for.
Some signs of OxyContin Addiction:
Obsessive or re-occurring thoughts of taking the medication
Having an overdose due to increasing the dose against or without medical advice
Seeking an instant high. By crushing and snorting, concentrating and injecting the drug
Seeking emotional relief versus pain relief, "numbing" the feelings
Needing OxyContin to function normally
Illegally obtaining OxyContin by means of stealing, purchasing it from a friend or stranger
Anxiety or depression when using or between doses
Behavioral changes such as isolation, lying, or being elusive
Memory loss
The most apparent sign of OxyContin addiction is by stop taking the medication and if there are signs of OxyContin withdrawal than that is an indicator of OxyContin addiction. If you or a loved one is showing any signs of OxyContin addiction, finding recovery is imperative. OxyContin addiction is as life threatening as a heroin addiction, and can take a person down fast. The increased tolerance to OxyContin and intense withdrawal symptoms can make recovery an overwhelming journey to take alone. Find support and advice from a professional before discontinuing the use of OxyContin.

Become a Sustaining Giver
Why am I a Sustaining Giver?
"I had a goal to be a $100 level giver. However, it was hard enough to find $15 extra in one month to pay my yearly dues, much less $100 sitting around that I could give to KFTC. The goal seemed unattainable until I heard about the Sustaining Giver program. I figured out that if I gave $8.50 a month, I could be a $100 giver. I could do that! It made me feel like I was making a significant monetary contribution to the important work we do all year long."
Dana Beasley Brown
Bowling Green
Here's why being a Sustaining Giver is a win-win for you and KFTC:
You get to choose the amount and frequency of your gifts. Even a small monthly gift adds up in a year.
Your recurring contribution helps ensure that KFTC's work keeps happening every day, all year long – lobbying in Frankfort, water testing in eastern Kentucky, voter registration across the state, and lots of other efforts to build a better Kentucky.
It's easy. Once your payment is established, you don't have to even write a check because it's automatic.
KFTC's number of Sustaining Givers shows foundations and other funders that we have a committed base of members who believe our work is worth investing in.
Click here to become a Sustaining Giver or increase your Sustaining Gift.
If today isn't the best time for you to become a Sustaining Giver, you can still support KFTC by making a one-time gift. Click here to make a gift today.

Recalled Pet Food Contained Rat Poison
Scientists blame rat poison for the deaths of at least 15 cats and two dogs that were linked to contaminated pet food.
The substance causing kidney failure in many pets was identified as aminopterin, which is still used in some other countries to kill rats, the Star Tribune said. Aminopterin used to also be a cancer drug in the United States that could be used to induce abortions.
The wheat gluten scientists have possibly linked to the poison was purchased from China, Chief Executive of Menu Foods Paul Henderson said.
The quotes from Menu Foods and the Cornell University's Diagnostic Center director were good choices. These people provided great insight into the story and added a lot of credibility.

The National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) has imposed a fine of one million naira on Nigeria Agip Company Ltd (NAOC) over its failure to immediately contain, recover and clean-up oil spill impacted sites at its OB/OB Gas Plant in Obrikom Omoku, Rivers State.
A statement by the Assistant Director and Head of Public Affairs, Henshaw Agubike, noted that a letter to NAOC by the Director-General/Chief Executive of NOSDRA, Sir Peter Idabor, said the action of the company amounted to a contravention of section 6(3) of the NOSDRA Act.
He directed the oil company to Agip to mobilize clean up and remediation of the impacted site already destroyed by inferno resulting from the oil spill to prevent further degradation of the environment.
The letter also directed NAOC to pay the statutory fine in the sum of one million naira into the account of NOSDRA within 14 days from the date of receipt.
He advised the company to act upon it with all seriousness and highest ethical standard expected from an establishment of repute.

Zenwalk 6.2 Review
Many of the admin tools are accessible from the menu, but also from within the Control Panel, itself accessible from Zenwalk menu > System > Control Panel. The only discernible difference between the Control Panel on Zenwalk 6.2 and that of prior releases is the inclusion of Firestarter, a graphical setup and configuration frontend for IPTables.
In the last version of Zenwalk, Zenwalk 6, the display tool did not work. While this is not a Zenwalk-specific problem, it is worth pointing out that the display tool now works: You can now change the screen resolution. The Display tool is accessible from Zenwalk menu > Settings > Display, and also from the Xfce 4 Settings Manager
Display tool
Managing users on Zenwalk is as easy as launching the userconfig tool and selecting from one of the available options. While creating a user involves a lot more steps that on other distros, even a noob will not have a problem creating one. But if you do need help in creating users on Zenwalk 6.2 or earlier, there is a tutorial here just for you.
User Profiles manager
Media and Hardware Detection: Zenwalk 6.2 does reasonably well when it comes to media and hardware detection. Audio CDs will open in Goobox, the default CD player on Xfce. Exaile, which is much better than Goobox, is also installed, and should have been the default CD player. Video DVDs will open in Totem, but the plugins required for commercial (encrypted) DVD playback are not installed, and are not in the repos – Current or Restricted. VLC, another video player, is in the Restricted repos, but like ZUT, the Zenwalk Update Tool, it is buggy, and does not play.
Distros like Pardus and Mint will auto-detect and configure a printer when one is connected to the system. With Zenwalk, however, you will have to manually configure any printer that you connect to a running system. It's a simple three-step process, but this type of task should be handled by the operating system – automatically. Here's a short tutorial on how to add a printer to a Zenwalk 6.x box:
Note: The assumption here is that the printer is locally connected, and not somewhere else on the network.
1. Launch the Printing tool from the Control Panel (also from Zenwalk menu > Settings > Printing, and Zenwalk menu > System > Printing). Click on the drop down as shown below and select Printer.
2. The next screen will show the printer(s) connected to the machine (there is auto-detection, but no auto-configuration.) Select the printer you wish to configure and click the Forward button.
3. Here is where you name the printer. Click Apply.
4. With the printer configured, you may print a test page just to be sure that the setup was successful. That's all there is to setting up a printer on Zenwalk.
Browsers and browser plugins: Iceweasel is the only browser installed. It will render flash content, and that's just about it. JRE, the Java Runtime Environment, is not installed. It is, however, in any of the Current repos, and installing it and testing the browser for Java compatibility is a breeze. Aside from Iceweasel, you will also find GNU IceCat in the repos. GNU IceCat is the freer version of Mozilla Firefox.
Security Tools and Network Manager: Zenwalk 6.2 now ships with a graphical frontend to IPTables, the Linux firewall application. However, it is not enabled by default. You may use this tutorial, if you need assistance in setting up Firestarter, to enable and configure it.
There are no VPN apps installed, but openVPN and vpnc are in the Current repos.

hey! pls help me, just istalled the latest zenwalk available…
there were about 3 or 4 things in the installation that failed to install..
but, it was still able to run.
now i changed from xp to zenwalk..
the problem is that i cant use the gnome session option and i cant click the menu in the xfce.
pls help me..
"DVD playback are not installed, and are not in the repos – Current or Restricted."
Correction. It is available in restricted:
What tipped me off to stop reading the review was the claim that Linux Mint doesn't have multiple workspaces… ugh…
"feels slightly much more polished" – this doesn't make much sense, and really lowers the expectations for the rest of the review. Double & triple check everything before publishing.
An atrociously-written review. No way I'm clicking thru to the second page. Primary-school English along with poor knowledge.
Sorry to tell you Jon, but you have at least two typos and one grammar mistake in your reply. Furthermore, there are many readers who don't have English as their first language, whom would appreciate understandable English. The review is more than adequate to know what Zenwalk is all about and what to experience after installing it, saving a lot of people a lot of homework. Thanks to the editor.

Damn the Torpedos on the "Lateeeno" Vote, says Romney?
"Frankly my dear, regarding that Lateeeeno vote....."
Hideous truths (from Ann Coulter):
"How can a country that elected Ronald Reagan have Obama tied in the polls with Mitt Romney?
The answer is: It's not the same country. The "browning of America" is not a natural process. It's been artificially imposed by Democrats who are confident of their abilities to turn Third World immigrants into government patrons.The same process that has already destroyed California is working its way through the entire country. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 57 percent of all immigrant households in the U.S. get cash, Medicaid, housing or food benefits from the government —compared with 39 percent of native households. The highest rates are for immigrants from the Dominican Republic (82 percent), Mexico and Guatemala (tied at 75 percent).
Entire hideousness here.
These percentages almost perfectly match these "Lateeeno's" Democratic voting percentages.
Oh, like Bill Withers I know..I know...I know..I know...I know...I know...I know...I know (27 total) how "Hispanics" hold "conservative social values," are "generally hard-working blah...blah..blah"...but they also know good and well who butters their bread. "Outreach" generally means groveling and pandering, promising free stuff. I'm glad to see Romney eschewing this tradition.
(The normally pinko) Politico might be on to something:
"Last month, a Latino Decisions survey showed Obama touching 70 percent of the vote and leading by 48 points...Romney's choice of running mate points to a much starker conclusion on the Latino vote: that the Republican presidential nominee has essentially decided that he cannot make up much ground with that constituency and needs to compensate by running up his vote total with white Midwesterners and other center-right groups.( "Reagan Democrats", we used to call these. And it worked spectacularly for Republicans throughout the 80's).....The Romney campaign and its allies reject that idea, but there's been little indication over the past few months that they are making a concerted push to prompt a reassessment from Latinos turned off by Romney's primary-season rhetoric on immigration."
(Romney) has not shifted his position on immigration in a way that could win over skeptical voters despite being urged to do just that by figures on the right as prominent as Rupert Murdoch."
Well bully for Romney!...It was also refreshing to see no stop at Versailles and little mention of Cuba on his Florida stop. I take it as a compliment. He's apparently treating us like adults who can think rationally and for ourselves--not like spoiled children who need "pandering."

New duck-billed dinosaur discovered in Mexico
February 12, 2008
The 72-million-year-old ago beast, a type of duck-billed dinosaur or hadrosaur, has been named Velafrons coahuilensis. The genus "Velafrons" refers to the dinosaur's large sail-like crest, while the species name "coahuilensis" is a reference to the state where the speciment was found.
The plant-eating dinosaur was found in an area that was formerly an estuary near the southernmost tip of West America, a narrow, peninsula-like western landmass of North America formed when North America was split in two by a warm, shallow sea.

"The region was periodically hammered by monstrous storms," Sampson said, "devastating miles of fertile coastline, apparently killing off entire herds of dinosaurs."
The researchers believe the species may have attained a length of 30 feet to 35 feet as an adult. It is the first crested duck-billed dinosaur found in western North America.
The researchers also found remains of a second type of duck-bill dinosaur; a plant-eating horned dinosaur similar to Triceratops; and several carnivores, including large tyrannosaurs and more diminutive Velociraptor-like predators armed with sickle-claws on their feet. Some of the discoveries may turn out to be previously unknown species.
"I am amazed at how prolific this region is," said Gates. "Given the large number of fossils, the high quality preservation, and the great research team that is working this area, more spectacular discoveries are just around the corner."
"Dinosaurs from this particular period are important because this is a time that is relatively poorly understood," said Don Brinkman, a project researcher from Canada's Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology. "The locality in Mexico goes a long way to filling in a gap in our knowledge of the record of changes in dinosaur assemblages throughout the Late Cretaceous era."
"Now that we've cracked open this amazing window into the world of dinosaurs, we look forward to future expeditions that will undoubtedly reveal more of Mexico's ancient past," said Scott Sampson, a Utah Museum of Natural History paleontologist and co-author of the study.

Camera Critters: Cat @ Ephesus
We saw loads of feral cats on our recent tour to the ruins of Ephesus which is just outside the town of Selçuk in Turkey last Summer, the guides were giving them water to drink and feeding them. This one was sheltering from the heat of the sun.

Ostgut's year of high profile album releases continues apace as Luke Slater graces the label with an album under his lesser spotted alias L.B. Dub Corp. Despite their being only four L.B. Dub Corp releases over a seven year span, it's still a name synonymous with the Mote-Evolver boss and has served up some considered highlights of the producer's distinguished discography. Unknown Origin arrives on Ostgut two years after Slater's excellent Planetary Assault System long-player for the label and sees him explicitly look to alternative poetry for inspiration with dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah a prominent presence, contributing to two tracks on Unknown Origin. Despite this, the mood is still resolutely Ostgut and Slater's pedigree is clear throughout.

Performance of "The Flower Girl" Given
| Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- A performance of the revolutionary opera "The Flower Girl", an immortal classic masterpiece, was given at the Pyongyang Grand Theater on June 19 to celebrate the 45th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
The revolutionary opera "The Flower Girl", an operatic version of a drama of the same title created and performed in the 1930s, is a monumental masterpiece that serves as the genuine textbook of the struggle and life for the revolutionaries. It shines as an eternal treasure of human culture.
The performers, through the fate of Kkotpun and her family, made successful artistic representation of the revolutionary truth that tears and sympathy could not save the destiny of her family and herself, to say nothing of that of the nation, and the only way-out is to fight with the class enemies.
Appreciating the performance were leading officials of the state and the army, the chairperson of a friendly party, officials of the party, armed forces and power organs, working people's organizations, ministries and national institutions, servicepersons and working people in the city of Pyongyang.

Well, Ok. Our balcony I guess. Apparently, Annabelle was a student in the girls' school here early in the hotel's life. She had an affair with a professor and got pregnant and somehow ended up falling off the balcony of our room. Now she can be seen peeking into the windows of the dining room and falling off the balcony. There are several other ghosts on our floor, but we haven't seen any ourselves, praise be.
We did some shopping today. And quite a bit of eating. Not as much walking as yesterday because we are too sore from yesterday. We walked mostly downhill today and rode the trolleys up the hill. I've gotten in some great reading time on our lovely balcony.
We've found that the nightlife here is not really for us. All the bars are smoke-filled, and my asthma is having a heyday as it is with all this thin mountain air. So, mostly, we find ourselves in our room by 10.
It's very disconcerting to me to see all these beautiful Victorian houses with old recliners and junk on the porches and Harley Davidson signs in the windows. All the well-kept homes are bed and breakfasts, or timeshares.
We head home tomorrow. Then, we start planning our 20th anniversary!

Well all it was for me was a crown shop unlock but my wife and daughter actually got the companion. You do not have to pay a damn thing for companions I have almost 2 pages of companions now and I haven't spent a dime on this game other than the 7 dollar sub for our accounts.
I dont believe you were intentionally misleading people but what you stated was misleading none the less. Having played multiple toons beyond level 30 I can absolutely confirm that what might turn out to be a crown shop unlock companion for one character will be an in game unlock for another. Now there are a few special characters you will run across ingame that are not for anybody, they are crown shop only but they are few and none of them in no way shape or form will give anyone an advantage if they purchase it. As a matter of fact there is only one companion that I think is stacked and OP when you get him. But everyone gets him, its part of the story.

I don't think it's pay to win, but it is buy to play. I bought several of the little ones crowns to buy almost all the areas. If you put $60 into it, which is what most new games cost anyways, you can unlock almost everything you'll ever need, until they add more...
Not only players spend money on subscriptions or crowns to pay for each area, but we also have to take a chance with loot packs?
Players can't really enjoy everything this game has to offer instead KingsIsle restricts and give the best items and companions to players with the bigger wallets.
KingsIsle is making the same mistake they did with Wizard101, the same business model by giving unfair advantages to other players. Again I don't see how this game is any better compared to Guild Wars 2.
Guild Wars 2 does not offer loot packs plus items in the in-game shop do not give advantages to other players.

Sure people with common sense can see how many ways they try to get more money out of you, and either avoid their games like I have chosen to do, or be ok with not having some of the best stuff. BUT, they target kids, and rightly so - they are the ones who are more impatient and are going to want everything now, so why not bug parents for another game card or whatever? This company is 100% about milking every ounce they can get.

Turning Butterflies into Worms The Painterly Practice of Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson
Now you see it, now you don't. Now you think you know it, now you don't. Now you feel it — or you fool yourself to believe so. Shades and shapes, emotions and motions. Nuances and connotations that run amok and stand still. Contradictions and collisions that are at the heart of the process of becoming. Always a singular and specific process through which a painting becomes what it is: a way for us to relate and reflect who we are, where we are and how are we where we are and what we are. And this, you know, needless to say, is just for starters.
The Icelandic painter Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson does this all by telling us stories that we recognize and are familiar with, but he keeps telling them in a format and fashion that gets us intrigued — and confused. To put more specifically, these stories get us productively confused. He does this by painting figures we all remember and know about, and he does them with the colours of grey on grey, adding the slightest faintest touch of white on a surface that is, yes, white.
He does the trick, the trick that our eyes love to fall on by reducing the elements in the pictures to the max. And yes, he does this by inviting us to confront the whole wide world of problems and potentialities that are opened by the fact that what he focuses on in his latest comprehensive series is the portraits of all the chosen Miss World winners who, by their hair colour, original or manufactured, are blonde. A series of paintings that starts with Miss Number 1, dating to the year of 1951 when the competition was first launched, and that continues as long as these events are organized and women with blonde hair, original or manufactured, win them.
It is a truly remarkable body of works that clearly form a direct continuation into Birgis-son's painting strategy that started in the late 1990's. A strategy within which Birgisson has been painting different people, different professions and different parts of our reality, which have one thing in common: the theme. They are all blonde. Blonde as in blonde nurses in action, blonde as in their uniforms, blonde as pure skin and blonde as blonde heads. And now, yes, year by year, not missing a beat, he paints Blonde Miss Worlds.
It is a series, first 15 of them shown — for the very first time — in Gothenburg Konsthall in the summer of 2007. They certainly take your breath away. A set of paintings that form a peculiar unity within which each painting, each gesture of a work becomes a singularity of its own, not only by the fact of it being that year's winner, but through the subtle act how a single painting forms and shapes itself not against, but next to the other participants in this magnificent game of give and take.
Because that's what it is about. It is about getting into them, moving closer, changing your viewpoint and your balance, and constantly being challenged with what you see and how you see it. It is a deeply physical process, which does not come without casualties. An anecdote as a story should be sufficient to prove this. When the assistants at the above mentioned Konsthall opened the crates in which Birgisson's works were sent, they got worried. They got scared. They thought something terribly wrong had happened to the images. Perhaps some accidents took place during the transportation? Or perhaps it was just a question of light? These paintings were only possible to grasp as in seeing what the image is about when you actively stand less than two meters away from it. The assistants got bad vibes: How can we put these on the wall if people can't see them immediately?
Well, yes, precisely. This is what in ethics is called an honest dilemma. A dilemma when one faces a somewhat nasty argument that it would be truthful to oneself to brush it off by stating that certainly, this is the very point of these works. They have to be perceived in a manner that is painstakingly slow as one has to move towards them and then moving away from them and repeat the motion until inch by inch a Miss World reveals herself intuitively when the talking is done by the hips. However, there is more, much more to the inherent painterly strategy at use by Birgisson.
Obviously enough, Birgisson is exercising the act of telling stories. And as always, it is not so much about what his story is about, but how it is told. The other significant central character in his works, besides this very how, is his deep-seated aim of challenging us to think and to think again how we see and comprehend colour as a political, social, historical and economical code.
Let us first focus on the particularities of this how. A hint of the actual process here can be very helpful. The idea to continue his obsession with the idea and ideology of blondes with the series of Blonde Miss World champions came to him by means of an old book he happened to find some time ago in a second hand store. It is a book that archives the knowledge, the history of these strange but so very real events of choosing the most beautiful girls of this world. A book that reproduced the winners in a solemn, almost shy way. Most of the winners are rounded up next to one another in black and white photographs that are not much bigger in size than your average stamp. And yes, here we get the initial dimensions, and here we get on the bumpy road of forming the idea into actuality. A distance from tiny press photos to the awoken and achieved presence of the paintings done with the faintest of faint strokes of colour and constructed and composed into the size of 120 cm by 120 cm.
The fascination in the process of how does not stop at this point. Not only is the size of the painting decided with a deliberate purpose, so is the rehearsed act of trial and error Birgisson took away from the original images. He has cleverly chosen to make them bigger than these real persons would be in real life.
Thus, the size matters, but what matters even more in his personal way of telling stories is what we see when we see the paintings. Particularly as already hinted at, we don't see that hell of a lot unless we pay enough attention. Unless we get closer than close, and unless we take part into the demanding and giving nature of the paintings. A painting that is not what it seeks and wants to be unless you, or me, as a viewer is there to take it by the hand. Yes, be with it, make it happen, make it twist and turn, burn and heal. Make it become whole for a passing moment that will never ever return.
It will not return, but it certainly will be yours — forever. It will follow you. Follow you home, follow you to the streets and it will both caress and harass you. Why? Well, here lies the ultimate beauty of Birgisson's strategy of how. When standing close enough, we can make the vague structures of a female human head — her hair, eyes and lines of the mouth. But not much more — until we break the barrier and participate into the process of shaping the image, because the strategy of reducing to the max not only applies to the use of colour, it is at stake in the way Birgisson painted the figures of these supposed lovely women by taking away parts and pieces, not adding anything in order for us to see or recognize. We are provided with visual hints — like shadows of a smile, or a silent but thoughtful laugh. What we see is parts of the whole, parts of the puzzle and the puzzlement.
They are paintings as relationships about to become — like becoming a specific place and site. Without the interaction, they are like Swiss cheese — with holes and with melancholy almost too heavy to bear. And what about with interaction? Yes, there and then they become live — alive and tickling. They become something special, something unique. They become singularities produced in human interaction where everything can happen but nothing is guaranteed.
So what about the theme of blondes? Why such a common denominator that is seen all around us, and a subject that all of us has — mostly negative, some or other opinions and experiences about? Well, you guessed it perfectly right. Birgisson's strategic hole-in-one is to focus on a theme everyone knows and shares a passion about. It is the one common door that everyone has passed through. Simply speaking, it is difficult to imagine a person on this planet (at least on the Western hemisphere) who does not have something to say about blondes. Now, as in the difference between what it is and how it is actually made, here we get to the magnificently important distinction between general and particular takes and definitions on blondes. In the language of telling stories, even if broadly seen, we all know what the idea of a blonde can be used to symbolize or mean. We are not saying anything meaningful before we get to the detailed contextual nuances of how a particular case of a blonde here and there and somewhere else is defined, categorized — and yes, normalized.
Thus, what Birgisson does is to steal our attention away from the expected and boring aspects of a common as muck sphere and lure us to concentrate on the small scale and micro-political acts of how the idea of blondes is manufactured, used and abused — for what, why, and against what. A strategy that must always keep close to the particular case and its inner contradictions and nuances, and stay far away from the closing doors of bland stereotypes and weary generalities.
The act of Blonde Miss World Series is putting the finger where it hurts. It forces us to re-visit our deep-seated habits of the heart. It makes us aware of the amazingly effective daily process of how, in this case, the idea of blondes is normalized and made to be at use for this or that want, value, interest or fear, and at the same time, openly or covertly functioning against something else. This is a series of paintings that do the dirty work. They throw us off balance. Paintings as an act of turning seemingly beautiful and taken for granted images and symbols into fabulously demanding entities that make us think twice, and then cajole us into doing it over one more round.
They make us aware of the difference between a productive act that only tries to produce a priori defined and framed result, and a productive act that is there to play around with our expectations and prejudices — to add suspense to life's oh so common predictabilities and yes, to have results that cannot be repeated.
It is an act of a painterly gesture that takes us back to the very basics. It takes us to the core of the issues of — who we are, how we are, with whom we are and how do we treat ourselves, and the people we are with. It is, if anything, an amazingly productive act that both challenges but is also embedded with very powerful chances. It is the act of turning butterflies into worms.

BOX 1–2 Rethinking the Best Ways to Assess Competence
Consider the following two assessment situations:
Assessment #1
Question: What was the date of the battle of the Spanish Armada?
Answer: 1588 [correct].
Question: What can you tell me about what this meant?
Answer: Not much. It was one of the dates I memorized for the exam. Want to hear the others?
Assessment #2
Question: What was the date of the battle of the Spanish Armada?
Answer: It must have been around 1590.
Question: Why do you say that?
Answer: I know the English began to settle in Virginia just after 1600, not sure of the exact date. They wouldn't have dared start overseas explorations if Spain still had control of the seas. It would take a little while to get expeditions organized, so England must have gained naval supremacy somewhere in the late 1500s.
Most people would agree that the second student showed a better understanding of the Age of Colonization than the first, but too many examinations would assign the first student a better score. When assessing knowledge, one needs to understand how the student connects pieces of knowledge to one another. Once this is known, the teacher may want to improve the connections, showing the student how to expand his or her knowledge.
tual understanding over time, which is at the heart of learning. This limitation exists largely because most current modes of assessment lack an underlying theoretical framework of how student understanding in a content domain develops over the course of instruction, and predominant measurement methods are not designed to capture such growth.
A fourth and persistent set of concerns relates to fairness and equity. Much attention has been given to the issue of test bias, particularly whether differences occur in the performance of various groups for reasons that are irrelevant to the competency the test is intended to measure (Cole and Moss, 1993). Standardized tests items are subjected to judgmental and technical

Wide receivers are a tricky group of guys to judge.
The raw talent between the elite receivers in a draft class and the next group of players may be greater than any other position. However, raw talent rarely translates into immediate NFL success.
Over the previous 10 drafts there have been 14 receivers selected within the first 10 picks. Of those 14, only five of rank among the top three receivers taken in their draft class [according to the stat "Career Approximate Value" on Pro-Football-Reference.com].
So what makes a receiver actually worth a top-10 pick?
To answer that question, you need to go beyond the stats and look at the player as an individual. The three receivers who ranked at the top of their draft class all have one thing in common – they are three of the most well-respected people in the NFL.
Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson don't make the highlight reel for their touchdown celebrations or their contract demands. They simply go out and play football. They are among the hardest working players on their team and none have the "diva" attitude that plagues so many elite receivers.
A.J. Green - who officially declared for the draft on Sunday - is the consensus top available receiver, and will likely be a top-10 pick.
So is he worth it?
At this point, I honestly don't know but the initial indications aren't good. Green was suspended four games this past year for selling a jersey to an agent. I'm not willing to condemn his draft stock for this alone, but it raises concerns which NFL teams will ask numerous questions about at the combine and in his private workouts.
Talent-wise, Green is on par with any of the elite receiver in the NFL. He will be a 1st-round pick, but how he handles these interviews and how he presents himself as a person – as well as how his Georgia coaches portray him to NFL scouts, coaches and GMs – will determine just how high he is selected.
