Comments about All Terrain KidsSport Phineas & Ferb SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion, 3 fl oz:
This product has the same texture issue the spray does. It gets clumpy and tacky a few minutes after application. My son usually doesn't care about things like this, but it was unavoidable. He looked like he had rolled in damp flour and it was incredibly hard to get off.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Feels heavy but effective & no breakouts
By MakeupGirl
from WA
Although this is marketed to the kiddies, I (40+) happily use this every day. PROS: It's the first sunscreen I've tried that doesn't break me out. So many other brands have instantly clogged my pores and looked horribly greasy. The zinc is mattifying, which is perfect for my oily complexion. I wear this under mineral makeup. The price is very reasonable, compared to so many other sunscreens. The protection is great. I forgot to apply some on my hands during a three-hour car trip and my arms stayed pale but my hands got tan. CONS: It leaves a bit of a white cast (not a problem for my pale complexion, but might not work for darker-complected folks); it takes a bit of work to apply evenly (texture is like toothpaste); it feels heavy on the skin (typical of many physical sunscreens that are not micronized). So overall, not perfect, but the pros outweigh the cons for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Apply generously and evenly 20-30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after prolonged swimming, excessive perspiration, and towel drying.

Joe Johnson's late jumper sends Nets to win over Knicks (VIDEO)
Jan 21, 2013, 7:13 PM EDT
Joe Johnson scored 10 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, but none were bigger than this jumper with 22 seconds remaining that gave the Nets the lead for good on the way to an 88-85 win over the Knicks that tied the season series at two games apiece.
Carmelo Anthony finished with 29 points for New York on 11-of-29 shooting, and had a good look at a shot from less than 10 feet away on the following possession.
But with Gerald Wallace defending, the attempt was an airball that went long, and Deron Williams made three of his four free throw attempts over the game's final couple of possessions to seal it for Brooklyn.
Both teams like to shoot the ball from three-point distance, but a Knicks team that had so much success in that area in the first part of the season struggled in this one, going just 6-of-21 from beyond the arc, while the Nets were able to convert 12-of-24 from downtown, which included 5-of-8 from Johnson.

This guy makes more than LBJ, Durant, CP3, Wade and many others.
Making this one shot to win one game, does not justify his enormous/ ridiculous/ un-justifiable salary.
He earns the income to do this EVERY NIGHT.
Instead, most of us recognize Jamal Crawford (who makes significantly less) as more of a household name.
Atlanta won in this sweepstakes…..Brooklyn will probably run him outta town in another year or two.
The guy just doesn't seem to have the passion to warrant such an obnoxious salary !

wooooooord. see you old men in the playoffs
- elComandanteenJefe - Jan 21, 2013 at 10:08 PM
You win with the three and die with the three! Come playoff time, the perimeter players for Knicks will be locked down from beyond the arc (see Steve Novak against the Heat in the playoffs).
- him247 - Jan 23, 2013 at 12:05 AM
Why even mention novak at all as if he can create his own shot… felton didnt play and shump had just come back from injury…. joe johnson had to play like that because that was the only time he could get it off with shumpert just coming back from injury and felton not playing… see u bum ass nets in the playoffs. Just dont go on another losing streak like u did the last time u beat the knicks…

We're pretty sure there's something in Manchester, UK, that addles the brain. Perhaps it's not the water; perhaps it's the air. Or dirt. Or the Bee Gees' lasting influence. However, we can now add to our "absolutely bat guano actions by people connected to Man City football" collection with two new tales of woe. (As in, "whoa, what the hell?")
First, take a gander at the lucky fellow above chatting with a coach of a Mexican soccer team and being trailed by two ladies-in-tubes. He would appear to be new Mexican national team coach Sven-Goran Eriksson, who was just canned from Man City as their coach.
All of this would be rather mundane if it wasn't for the fact that the real Sven-Goran Eriksson was thousands of miles away in the United States at the time of this impromptu visit. And here we thought that giant sucking sound was NAFTA, not the ability to clone overrated soccer coaches to create suction in two countries simultaneously.
No, that was an impostor whose sole day job is "Sven-Goran Eriksson impersonator". When Sven was chased out of England after ruining their national team and Man City, this fellow would appear to have been out of a job. However, he merely picked up stakes and headed to Mexico for a summer vacation. With tubed ladies. (Please remember to put the cap back on, "Sven".)
Of course, the team he left behind has come no closer to solving their problems now that they've tossed Mr. Eriksson to the way side. Instead, they've kowtowed to the 'suggestion' by Thai part-owners of the club to initiate a little feng shui on the Man City stadium and facilities to bring better success to the team.
Crystals and symbols have now been buried and/or displayed throughout the stadium. One source to TIMES ONLINE compared it to Catholicism. We don't know as much about soccer or feng shui as we'd like, but we always thought getting skilled players and pointing them in the direction of goal accomplished both tasks well enough.
Then again, we haven't been drinking the Man City water. No wonder those crazy sailor-wannabe fans conned a magazine to buy them booze for the trip; they couldn't take the local drinking water anymore.

Mississippi State Football: Complete 2015 Spring Practice Primer
Was Mississippi State's magical run to a 10-win season, the first No. 1 ranking in program history and its first Orange Bowl berth since 1941 a sign that the program has arrived, or simply a product of unique SEC West circumstances that allowed the Bulldogs to finish second behind Alabama in the division?
Head coach Dan Mullen began the quest to answer that question, when his Bulldogs opened spring practice on Tuesday in Starkville.
Star quarterback Dak Prescott is back to lead Mullen's potent offense that returns several stars, including wide receiver De'Runnya Wilson. Meanwhile, the defense must overcome massive roster attrition in the front seven.
What should you look for this spring in Starkville?
What to Watch on Offense
The battle to replace running back Josh Robinson will take center stage, as Brandon Holloway, Ashton Shumpert and Aeris Williams will battle to be the primary tailback in Starkville. Shumpert (6'2", 218 lbs) and Holloway (5'8", 160 lbs) split second-team carries last year behind Robinson and could provide a thunder-and-lighting combo that can kick the offense into overdrive.
Keep an eye on Williams, though.
The 6'1", 215-pound redshirt freshman is a true all-purpose back and could provide the total package that Robinson did a year ago.
"Aeris always has a great attitude. He's going to go as hard as he can with whatever he is doing," Mullen said in quotes released by Mississippi State. "When you look at a guy Aeris, we want to get the pads on him. He's a physical-type player so you're not going to see much out of his game until the pads come on."
Outside, De'Runnya Wilson—better known as "Bear Force One"—leads a talented wide receiving corps that includes Fred Ross, Fred Brown, Joe Morrow and junior college transfer Donald Gray.
Up front, though, is the real concern.
Mississippi State lost three starters off of last season's offensive line, but it still could get tackle Damien Robinson back after the presumptive starter tore his ACL in fall camp last year and sat out the entire 2014 season. Mullen told Logan Lowery of InsideMSUSports.com that Robinson is still recovering, and the school is awaiting word on whether or not he will receive a sixth year of eligibility.
The loss of star center Dillon Day is a big concern, and all eyes up front will be on former guard Jamaal Clayborn in the middle of the offensive line.
"I think we experimented with that in bowl prep a little bit to give him some opportunities there and see if he was comfortable," Mullen said in quotes released by Mississippi State. "He's worked all offseason snapping. I think that's a starting point, but I think we also have to create some depth at that position."
If that offensive line can come together this spring, it will allow Prescott to get comfortable in the pocket. You saw what happens last year when the dual-threat star—who finished eighth in Heisman Trophy voting—gets comfortable.
What to Watch on Defense
The front seven is undergoing a massive overhaul, after five of the seven starters from last year's final two-deep moved on to the NFL.
Specifically, star defensive tackle Chris Jones has to step up and become the leader.
The former star recruit played more of a rotational role last year in the veteran defensive tackle rotation, but he has all the talent in the world. At 6'5", 308 pounds, he has the size to play a 0-techinque and line up over center, but he has the quickness to play out at a 9-technique if defensive coordinator Manny Diaz lets him (he won't).
Another big loss is at linebacker, where Benardrick McKinney jumped early for the NFL. Keep an eye on freshman Gerri Green, a 6'4", 240-pound redshirt freshman from Greenville, Mississippi, to step up this spring and make a push for playing time.
Mullen knows that his roster is loaded with youngsters.
"I bet 40 percent of our team has never played in a game," he said in quotes emailed by Mississippi State. "That's redshirt freshmen, true freshmen and a lot of guys just graduated early and got in here as mid-year enrollees. A lot of guys that have never played in the game, and this is, to me, their first time to absorb it."
At the back end, Mississippi State lost starting cornerback Jamerson Love, safety Jay Hughes and Kendrick Market is still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered late last season. That is going to put a ton of pressure on some young players, including safeties Deontay Evans and Kivon Coman, as well as converted safety Jahmere Irvin-Sills.
Freshman to Keep an Eye on
Redshirt freshman Brandon Bryant.
The 5'11", 200-pounder from Tunica, Mississippi, is in a perfect position to make waves this spring considering the uncertainty that exists at safety on the roster. Bryant is good in coverage, has a nose for the football and isn't afraid to stick his nose in on run support.
What's more, with so many teams operating out of the nickel now, there's an even bigger chance that Bryant—and any other safety on the roster—will earn some playing time this spring.
Coach Mullen's Toughest Task
Managing expectations.
As many have noted, there's going to be a $4 million head coach in the SEC West who finishes last in the division in 2015. Will that be Mullen?
Last season's success was phenomenal, but with so much roster turnover, there's a decent chance that the Bulldogs take a massive step back from a record standpoint in 2015. That doesn't mean it's truly a massive step back, though.
The return of Prescott, Wilson and Mullen's ability to make an offense click regardless of personnel should keep the Bulldogs in plenty of games—even against the SEC West's big boys. That experience last year, though, played a big role in them winning most of those contests, and that doesn't exist on this year's squad.
Mullen's crew may only take a minor step back in terms of overall talent and production, but a big one in the win-loss column. Mullen's ability to keep Mississippi State competitive will signal that it's still in the mix and has staying power, which would be a tremendous statement for the Mississippi State program.

Tennessee Football: How Injuries Will Impact Vols' Spring
Injuries infiltrated Tennessee's football program last season, nearly derailing the Vols' hopes of a late-season rally and bowl run.
They overcame them thanks to some spectacular individual performances (such as quarterback Joshua Dobbs' against Vanderbilt) and an opportunistic defense.
UT wound up with a convincing TaxSlayer Bowl victory over Iowa that reverberated good vibrations for the program into the offseason.
But reality is going to bite the Vols again this spring in the form of injuries. Even though head coach Butch Jones has built a talented roster, the depth is still not where it needs to be, and that will be obvious when drills begin March 24.
While the good news is there are no expected long-term effects that could threaten anybody's season, Tennessee is going to be razor-thin:
- Only five scholarship defensive linemen are going to be healthy and green-lighted, and leaders Derek Barnett, Curt Maggitt and Danny O'Brien are out.
- There's just one running back available and cleared for contact with Jalen Hurd limited.
- Several of the highly touted mid-term enrollees, such as defensive end Kyle Phillips, middle linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. and offensive tackle Chance Hall are unavailable or hobbled.
The April 25 Orange & White spring game won't be the same format as it usually is. Jones told the Chattanooga Times Free-Press' David Paschall it will be tweaked due to the injuries:
We do have to modify that, and I think that's symbolic in terms of where we still are as a program. We have a shortage of defensive linemen, running backs and wide receivers. The spring game will still be very entertaining. We'll still play football and scrimmage, but we'll also do more competitive one-on-one battles.
We did that a little bit last year, and our fans really enjoyed that. So we'll make it an event, but I think it will be more of a spring event than a spring game.
The fallout from missed practice time could affect the season even if the injuries won't. Here are some areas to watch:
Immediate Impacts
Last year, the mid-term enrollees who arrived in Knoxville early got a head start and produced on the field.
Hurd, Dillon Bates, Von Pearson, Daniel Helm, Ethan Wolf, Dimarya Mixon, Coleman Thomas, Jakob Johnson and Emmanuel Moseley were all January arrivals who played key roles on last year's squad.
While the Vols have several more who should do the same in 2015, two of the players talented enough to play major roles right away who won't participate in spring drills are Phillips and Kirkland.
The latter is a 6'2", 235-pound middle linebacker who has all the elite skills needed to step in and play at one of the positions on UT's roster that will be wide open. The Indianapolis-born linebacker tore a pectoral muscle in winter workouts.
Phillips, on the other hand, is an in-state star who wasn't being depended on to start with Barnett and Maggitt manning the ends, but he has the ability to provide quality depth. Shoulder surgery will be an obstacle he must overcome in order to do that.
Neither is expected to miss any game action. But will they be hampered by missing time, and will it affect their roles on the 2015 Vols? The injuries could hurt them and the team.
D-Line Development
Tennessee really struggled against the run at times during 2014. Most of that was because of the lack of beef along the interior—a need UT addressed with the additions of Kahlil McKenzie and Shy Tuttle.
But part of the reason was the lack of depth.
Now, entering 15 spring practice sessions where Jones said the Vols will have just five scholarship linemen available doesn't give Tennessee fans a warm-and-fuzzy feeling.
With Barnett, Maggitt and Phillips out and Corey Vereen limited, that's four of the team's top five defensive ends. Only LaTroy Lewis will be full-go from last year's rotation.
The depth issues will produce a huge opportunity for mid-term enrollee Andrew Butcher to prove he should earn meaningful reps right away.
On the inside, McKenzie won't arrive until this summer. But O'Brien's injury issues mean UT will be down one starter.
Tuttle, Mixon and Kendal Vickers have shots to work into the rotation on the inside. That's good for depth and the future, but considering some key players are missing from the lineup, the Vols will have to fix run-defense issues in the month prior to kickoff.
Passing-Game Rapport
This spring is a pivotal period in the development of Dobbs. Not only is he needed and expected to be more accurate throwing the ball this year, he also has a new offensive coordinator in Mike DeBord.
With the defense extremely limited by injuries, spring's primary focus for the Vols needs to be on the offense humming along at the same frequency—quarterback, receivers, running backs, linemen and coaching staff.
That's why it's frustrating that two of UT's upperclassman receivers, including the team's most talented target in Marquez North, will be limited following season-ending surgeries.
If Tennessee's passing game is going to shine, North needs to be involved. He has elite skills, and if he puts everything together, he's talented enough to play in the NFL as soon as next year.
Also, Jason Croom is a 6'5", 243-pound specimen who could be a force inside the 20-yard line. He needs to develop consistency, and in order to do that, he needs to be healthy.
There is still more than enough talent in that Tennessee receiving corps to provide an abundance of assistance in Dobbs' development.
So, the Vols junior signal-caller will have to take some major strides without two of his biggest weapons at full-strength and just integrate them once they're healthy.
It shouldn't be a major deal, but any time a new offensive coordinator is thrown into the mix, there's at least a moderate concern warranted about everybody being on the same page.
That's another reason why the DeBord hire was a good one.
Middle Linebacker Battle
As if losing Kirkland for the spring wasn't a big enough blow, Bates is going to be limited, too.
That's the two most athletic players in the five-man battle to be heir to the middle linebacker throne vacated by A.J. Johnson.
Kenny Bynum, Jakob Johnson and Gavin Bryant all will be healthy and ready to vie for the job this spring, and Bates should get some action, too, if he's able. But the real race now has to begin this fall when all parties are available.
It's not an ideal situation, but it's that way at many different positions for the Vols this year. Unfortunately for Jones and a UT team with high expectations, it's the climate of this spring.

Bret Bielema's Only Hurting Himself with Crusade Against Hurry-Up Offenses
I'll get this out of the way right out of the gate: I like Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema.
A lot.
He's always willing to chat when asked, will always drop in a casual one-liner or two and doesn't operate in the boring land of coachspeak like so many of his college football colleagues.
I find him a genuinely nice person who is entertaining, engaging, interesting and refreshingly honest.
Sometimes, though, that last quality gets muddled in a quest to slow the game of college football under the disguise of player safety.
Bielema saddled back up on his high horse and railed against hurry-up offenses on Wednesday in the wake of the abrupt retirement of former San Francisco 49er and Wisconsin Badger (under Bielema) linebacker Chris Borland.
"We have to protect student-athletes to extremes we never thought of before," Bielema told Sporting News' Matt Hayes. "I just read a study that said players in the no-huddle, hurry-up offense play the equivalent of five more games than those that don't. That's an incredible number. Our awareness as a whole has to increase."
And, with that, the 10-second rule—which I predicted would pop back up this offseason—is right back in the center of the national discussion.
If Bielema is so concerned with the number of games, plays and how they relate to player safety, then why did he say this inside the radio/Internet room at SEC media days in Hoover, Alabama in 2014?
If the four-team playoff is a "good starting point," then those two extra games—and potentially more extra games in an expanded playoff structure—are safety hazards, right?
Bielema can't have his cake and eat it too.
In the midst of the first "10-second-rule" hubbub, Dave Bartoo of CFBMatrix.com posted a fascinating study last year that suggests player weight in tight spaces creates a far greater injury risk than the number of plays run.
In that study, Bartoo found that the 20 fastest teams in college football in 2012 averaged 83.12 plays per game and lost 143 starts due to injury. The 20 slowest teams ran 65.85 plays per game and lost 151 starts due to injury.
Guess which team became synonymous with one of the biggest offensive lines in the country last season?
Arkansas, at 320.8 pounds per player. That, incidentally, would have been the third-largest in the NFL as of early September 2014, according to LubbockOnline.com.
I believe that Bielema truly cares about player safety, feels for Borland and wants to make the game safer not just for the good of this generation, but for generations to come. For that, he should be applauded.
Until he comes up with more proof other than "more plays equals more injury risk," he's not really arguing against hurry-up, no-huddle offenses, advocating player safety or championing the "10-second rule," which would prevent offenses from snapping the ball within 10 seconds of the previous play ending.
All he's doing is arguing against the sport of football—a sport in which he makes his living.
Whether you call this a contact sport, a collision sport or give the game of football any other moniker out there, players put themselves in danger every time they buckle up the chin strap. That doesn't mean that it shouldn't be tweaked to make players safer.
It should, and everybody—including coaches who employ hurry-up, no-huddle offenses—agree.
"Is there documented medical evidence that supports this rule change that tempo offenses are putting players at a higher degree of risk than others? If there is, then show it to us," Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach last year. "Where is it? They're going to have to show us some evidence."
Simply saying "more football is a danger" when there's no other specific evidence to prove it won't cut it, especially when there is a statistical analysis that states that player size in space matters more than the quantity of plays.
Bielema likely believes that fast-paced offenses put players at a greater injury risk, and that's why this crusade continues.
It's only making him look foolish, though, because what he's really doing is biting the hand that feeds him—the sport of football.

10 Teams That Could Ruin Contenders' 2016 College Football Playoff Hopes
Entering the second season of the College Football Playoff, we still don't know a lot about how the system will work. One of the most important things we do know is to get selected, teams not only must win most all their games, but they must play (and run through) a hard schedule. TCU and Baylor learned that the hard way, and if they plan on competing for national titles, then they must beef up their non-conference schedules.
The teams with the best chance of making the College Football Playoff, before the season starts, should run through the hard schedules they play. If teams have hard schedules, then the voters are more forgiving on a loss; three of the four teams in last season's College Football Playoff lost a game, but they had enough wins over strong opponents to make up for it.
If the top teams in college football were to lose a game (or two) this season, then which teams are most likely to defeat them? That's what I've predicted for today.
To rank the teams, I used the same composite that Brian Leigh of B/R used for his pre-spring practice record predictions. The larger sample size than just the B/R Top 25 allows for a more accurate prediction of which teams will indeed be considered the best in the nation prior to the season.
I strongly considered the rankings of the teams, the rankings of the teams they're playing and the amount of times they're playing highly ranked teams when deciding which teams to select for the list. I also didn't include any teams that would be considered contenders, so no teams ranked better than No. 19 made the list.
With that, here are the teams with the best chance of beating teams with the best chance of making the 2016 College Football Playoff.
Notre Dame Football: What to Expect at the Start of Spring Ball
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Wednesday marks the start of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's football's spring practice, a time when imaginations and expectations often run in uncontrolled directions.
It's reasonable to be optimistic with a clean slate and time to improve. So as practice begins early Wednesday morning for the Irish, what should be expected?
No, we don't know who the better quarterback will be, and we won't know based on one two-hour practice session.
Still, the importance of spring ball isn't to be understated.
"These next seven weeks now we begin to do a lot more of the building of 2015's football team," Irish head coach Brian Kelly said.
Here's what to expect.
Kelly is now in his sixth season in South Bend, and he already knows this spring will be different.
"This is the first time since I've been here where I feel like I can go into practice and I can bang around," he said.
Oklahoma drills? Sure.
Tackling drills? Of course.
What would seem to be staples of a high-level football program have been delicacies in Kelly's years. Oftentimes the Irish have had to work to reach the 85-scholarship limit. This year, it's the other way around.
"It feels like for me that we've got the depth necessary to go and play football," Kelly said. "I always felt like I'm tiptoeing around this roster in the spring because we're afraid over here or afraid over here.
"We can go play, really target some of the younger players in certain areas, let them get in there and get after it."
There will be competition. Certainly, the highest-profile position battle is at quarterback, where Everett Golson and Malik Zaire are and will continue competing for snaps.
But healthy battles should litter the practice field, as Notre Dame has been able to continually land high-end recruiting classes and restock the depth chart. The focus, for now, is less on the starter and backup designation and more on overall depth and competition.
A few particular areas to keep an eye on, however, are left guard and linebacker. Kelly said redshirt freshman linemen and former blue-chip recruits Quenton Nelson and Alex Bars will compete for the left guard job, a two-man battle after the departure of possible fifth-year candidate Matt Hegarty.
At least seven linebackers will top the two-deep in the spring, and Kelly said it's "a good problem to have," pointing to the depth at middle linebacker, in particular. Defensive MVP Joe Schmidt is returning from injury, as is Jarrett Grace, who last played in October 2013 before suffering a broken leg.
Sophomore Nyles Morgan returns as well, while "Sam" linebackers James Onwualu and Greer Martini offer versatility. Early enrollee Te'von Coney backs up returning star Jaylon Smith at the weak-side spot.
"I think we offer more opportunities and a lot more flexibility in terms of whether we're three-down, four-down, whether we're nickeling out at the Sam," Kelly said of the linebacker position. "One of them is not going off the field, and that is Jaylon Smith. That's a certainty. The rest of the guys are competing, and I think it's a pretty good situation."
Position Shifts
There aren't any major position shifts at this point, but the Irish do continue to tinker with their roster, especially as they wait for next year's crop of freshmen to arrive this summer.
Fifth-year candidate Chase Hounshell has switched from the defensive line to tight end and swapped out No. 50 for No. 18.
"Chase knocked down my door, wouldn't leave me alone, just kept coming back and saying, 'Coach, I want to be part of this team. I have something to offer,'" Kelly said of Hounshell's pitch.
Kelly said he told Hounshell, who has battled injuries throughout his career, Notre Dame didn't have a place for him on the defensive line but would give him a chance as a physical, blocking tight end.
"Nothing has been decided," Kelly said. "He's willing to go through spring and give it a shot, and we'll see where it goes from there. He's been a great teammate, great in the locker room. The guys really enjoy having him. We like his team‑first mentality, so we're going to give him a chance to earn a roster spot playing tight end."
Senior C.J. Prosise's position is a more important, yet still minor, shift to pay attention to. The slot receiver is cross training at running back, Kelly said, and has been in the running back meetings and will "get quite a bit of work at running back." The 220-pounder excelled as a runner at times in 2014, most notably in the Music City Bowl victory over LSU.
It's worth noting Notre Dame has just two scholarship running backs on the spring roster in juniors Greg Bryant and Tarean Folston.
Again, caution is an operative word for the spring. All-Americans aren't named in March.
But expect to see progress from the Irish after the first seven weeks of the spring semester were spent on the sheer physical aspects—strength and conditioning. These next seven weeks, Kelly explained, are more geared toward skill development, leadership and mental components.
A glimpse of practice should allow us to make some tentative guesses on who has progressed the most physically.
In terms of injuries, Kelly said sophomore safety Drue Tranquill (torn ACL) is a "nut" and would be practicing full contact if Notre Dame didn't have a training staff. Expect Tranquill to do some lateral activities and maybe progress toward some drill work, Kelly said.
Grace is a wild card for the Irish. Before missing the final seven games in 2013, the middle linebacker was tied for the team lead with 40 tackles.
The fun begins Wednesday.

3 Morgan State Football Players Stabbed in On-Campus Incident
Three Morgan State football players were stabbed on Tuesday, according to reports.
Justin George and Justin Fenton of The Baltimore Sun have more information:
The incident happened outside a cafeteria around 2:05 p.m. after a suspect was observed "wildly swinging" a knife outside the facility, according to Clint Coleman, a university spokesman. The crime scene encompassed an area including residence halls and a practice football field.
A police spokesman said one victim was stabbed in the chest and taken to a hospital in very serious condition. Two other people were also injured.
Coleman later said none of the victims' injuries were believed to be life-threatening.
Coleman told The Sun that a suspect was in custody. According to the report, there was also a stabbing on campus on Friday, and there were multiple fights at a dance over the weekend after on-campus parties had been banned for a year following incidents at such events in the past.
It's certainly a scary way for the Morgan State football season to begin, as spring practices had just commenced on Tuesday. The program will be relieved that none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening, though, of course, there will be major concerns at the school after two stabbing incidents in a matter of days.
At some point, the team will return to the business of beginning its preparations for another run in the NCAA FCS playoffs after last season's trip to the postseason. For now, however, the team's and school's primary concerns will be the recovery of the students injured in this incident.

Ranking the Top 25 College Football Coaches Heading into 2015
It's the players who score the touchdowns, make the tackles and ultimately win the games. But without a great coach guiding them along, on-field talent can only take a team so far.
That is why being a head coach in college football is a seven-figure job for most of the best in FBS. Yet a lofty salary alone doesn't automatically dictate how good (or successful) a coach is. Otherwise, we wouldn't be reading stories about coaches—cough, Charlie Weis—getting paid millions to not coach after getting fired in the middle of lucrative contracts.
To determine which are the best coaches in the game, we've ranked them based on what they've done at their current schools, how they've fared for their career and whether they're trending upward or not. We had to draw the line somewhere, though, which is why one thing you will not see here are coaches in their first year with a program, as our rankings are based on performance more than reputation.
Sorry, Jim Harbaugh.
Follow along to see which coach made the top of our list heading into the 2015 season.
Is Georgia a Legit Threat to Steal 4-Star WR Kyle Davis from South Carolina?
One of the most versatile players in the 2016 class is 4-star athlete and current South Carolina commitment Kyle Davis.
The 6'3", 220-pounder from Archer High School in Lawrenceville, Georgia, has been committed to the Gamecocks since last July.
However, as Kipp Adams of 247Sports notes, Davis is still being pursued by a number of schools.
While programs such as Auburn, Notre Dame and Tennessee are pursuing Davis, it's in-state power Georgia that seems to pose the biggest threat to Steve Spurrier's club in the tug-of-war for Davis.
But are the Bulldogs a legitimate threat to pull him away from his pledge to the Gamecocks?
That remains to be seen. But at this stage, it appears Davis is leaving the door open for Mark Richt and his staff.
"Georgia is in the mix," Davis told Adams. "I am going to stay committed to South Carolina for now, but I am going to keep my options open. I am planning on enrolling early."
Most schools, including Georgia and South Carolina, are recruiting Davis to play receiver.
According to Keith Niebuhr of AuburnUndercover, Davis racked up more than 1,200 yards receiving last year in helping his team reach the Georgia Class 6A state finals.
What makes the Bulldogs attractive to Davis is the arrival of new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, whose resume is littered with NFL experience.
"Coach Shotty and me have a real close connection," Davis told Adams. "He is one of the coolest coaches I have met. I have really enjoyed getting to know him since he came to Georgia."
Adams notes that he's also connected with fellow Bulldogs assistants Bryan McLendon and new running backs coach Thomas Brown, which should help the Dawgs maintain close ties with the No. 15-ranked prospect in the Peach State in the 2016 cycle.
Another factor that could benefit the Bulldogs is their pursuit of a handful of his prep teammates at Archer.
Among the Archer products who have received Georgia offers include 2016 4-star offensive lineman E.J. Price, 2016 4-star corner Dylan Singleton, 2017 4-star athlete Jamyest Williams and 2017 4-star safety Isaiah Pryor.
South Carolina has tendered each of those players except Pryor. The Bulldogs are squarely in the mix with all of the Archer standouts, and if they are able to even land any of them, it could potentially have a ripple effect with Davis.
However, Davis admitted to Niebuhr that it will take "a lot" for him to back off his initial commitment to the Gamecocks.
"I'm still committed," Davis told Niebuhr. "Still love the coaching staff. I love everything about it."
Still, the connections he has to the Bulldogs program are enough to give Spurrier and his staff reason to aggressively pursue him until he enrolls at his school of choice.

2016 College Football Recruits Who Also Excel in Basketball
Football may be the ticket to a free collegiate education for many high school athletes, but it isn't always their sole athletic passion. Some stay busy participating—and thriving—in other sports arenas.
Basketball takes center stage in March as folks fill out college basketball brackets, and state champions are crowned across the country. With that in mind, we shine the spotlight on several premier football prospects who spent their winter doing damage on the hardwood.
Elite 11 Dallas QB MVP, Texas A&M Legacy Calls New Aggies Offer 'A Blessing'
Since his days of being a toddler, Dillon Sterling-Cole has been a fan of Texas A&M football.
It's understood, as the 3-star quarterback from Houston-area Spring Westfield High School is the son of former Aggies wide receiver Chris Cole, who went on to play in the NFL with the Denver Broncos. Sterling-Cole knows everything about the program, as he's been properly groomed.
Sterling-Cole had been hoping for a Texas A&M offer, and on Tuesday, the 6'3", 171-pounder got it. Ironically, Texas A&M is his seventh offer—lucky No. 7, if you ask him.
"I'm really excited about it," Sterling-Cole said. "I mean, it's truly a blessing to receive the offer, not only because of me being a legacy kid but based on them seeing me progress and continue to mature as a player and also a young adult."
Sterling-Cole now has offers from Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Houston, Arizona State, Utah, Temple and Nevada. Because of his father's college background, many feel Texas A&M is the team to beat. Sterling-Cole's 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions heavily favor the Aggies after Tuesday's offer.
And he's the first to admit that Texas A&M is very high on his list.
"A&M was at the top of my list of favorite schools growing up," Sterling-Cole said. "Jerrod Johnson was a person that I looked up to besides my dad."
The offer comes two days after Sterling-Cole put on a show at the Elite 11 Dallas regional. Sterling-Cole not only was named the event's MVP but also earned an invitation to The Opening this summer in Oregon.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Sterling-Cole threw for more than 2,200 yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions for Westfield. Sterling-Cole's performance at the Elite 11 regional was almost something of a coming-out party for him. He wants all to expect more of the same this spring.
"[Being regional MVP] means a lot. It's a great opportunity for me to represent my school and where I come from," he said. "I felt like I had to come out and prove a lot. With my background, I didn't come with the most hype around my name.
"I just came out to compete and did what I had to get invited to the Elite 11 finals."
And now, Sterling-Cole has a decision to make: Does he accept the offer he's always wanted and follow his father's footsteps? Or does he continue to shop around for a program that he'd thinks would better fit his offensive structure?
If he commits to Texas A&M, he will join his teammate and go-to target, 4-star wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland—who also earned an invitation to The Opening over the weekend.

Strange enough Ive been walking around with a similar idea in my head, one time. (and maybe Claude can tell what he made in the past).It came out of the idea of using a lot of cheap car parts for a new outfit. (cheap wheels, tires, suspension etc).
This hydro pneumatic system was used the first time on a complete car in 1955 on the famous Citroën DS 19.
I myself was thinking then of using parts of the (newer) BX from the eighties, still some scrap heap parts available and they dont have the electronic high tech parts of the newer models. This (gas/fluid) suspension should give comfort, height would be adjustable (street versus off-road ground clearance), no wear of springs, loading the outfit full of stuff, would not have any effect on the set-up of the outfit etc and should (??) have some influence reducing the roll-effect. The roll-control wasnt the first thing, I was thinking about, however. Difficult to built this on to an existing outfit and it was just an idea. (One time when I get rich and find time, Ill may give it a go and see what it brings, maybe). Dunno

Here's a tip I've been wanting to post, and this is the best place to do it. I work on snowmobiles in the winter, and the shocks used on the front of the older ones (pre-'90s) were great for all kinds of custom uses. They are small, lightweight and available in black or chrome. They can be used as shocks or steering dampers and are easy to mount. Average center to center measurements are 7.5 inches compressed and 10.5 inches extended. They are damped 50/50, both directions. They are still available from aftermarket suppliers, or I have a couple of sources for NOS units. If anyone wants these, PM me and I'll get you a price and exact measurements.

Snowmobiles are also a great source for other suspension stuff. Some have ball joints like the ones used in BMW front ends and the tie rod ends are great for all kinds of uses like sway bar links etc. And the newer ones have nice hydraulic disk brakes that could be adapted to a hack wheel.

We have used shocks off of a john deere ( I think a gator) a few times. Small short etc like the shocks you pictured.
I did run a swaybar off a snowmobile once. It worked well but fatigured after time. Finally knocked the mounts off by hitting a raised manhole in a construction site somewhere in Chicago about 3 in the morning.

>>Interesting set up, but I can't see how it can have any influence on roll centre, as it is the suspension pivot points that determine this<<<
Yes, Andy you are correct. I have been wrong although there is something to be said for where the suspenion pick up points are located witin the area between the roll center and the center of mass in the big picture.
Maybe we shoud get more into double a frame suspension stuf on these rigs and see what kind of discussiosn we coudl get into.

I found this while digging through my "archives," don't remember where it came from. It's a pretty good illustration of rake & trail, just keep in mind that it's talking about solo (2 wheel) bikes and not sidecar rigs. Less trail than what is considered safe on a 2-wheeler is what's considered preferable on a hack rig.

Centre of roll, centre of gravity and how it affects motorcycle and sidecar handling.
Both of these terms are symmetrical vehicle suspension terms, and there in lies the problem, as when they are applied to asymmetrical motorcycle and sidecar suspension systems, the differences change the interrelationship of the two, and causes confusion.
One source of confusion is the direction the motorcycle suspension pivots in, and from this the length of its "Swinging arm", a car term.
This "swinging arm" is not to be confused with the trailing arm, that is the car term for the standard motorcycle rear suspension, what motorcyclists call the swinging arm.
The "swinging arm" referred to is the actual or imaginary suspension arm that connects the wheel to the chassis of the car, and is measured perpendicular to the centre line of the chassis, the virtual length can extend a long way past the physical limits of the chassis.
A pure trailing arm, the rear suspension arm of the motorcycle, is said to have an infinitely long "swinging arm" as there is no component of the suspension movement that isn't in the fore and aft plane of the vehicle.
An actual swing arm, where the term comes from.
A virtual swinging arm.
The front suspension of old VW beetles is an example of a pure trailing arm suspension.
The sidecar trailing arm has a small component of movement out of the fore and aft plane due to the toe in, but can effectively be considered to be infinite in length as well, as the other arm it has to relate to is infinite, so the intersection occurs at infinity.
The simple trailing arm suspension system has the huge advantage of being very compact relative to almost every other alternative.
Note that all suspension pivot points are square (or very close to square) to the centreline of the sidecar.
So why is this important?
It has to do with where the "centre of roll" (RC) of the vehicle is.
This in turn is important as the relationship of the RC and the "centre of gravity" has a great influence in the handling of the vehicle.
Centre of roll.
On a symmetrical vehicle (not a sidecar) the RC is the point where the line drawn from the tyre contact patch to the virtual swinging arm pivot point for both sides of the vehicle cross.
With the vehicle at rest, the crossing point (the "centre of roll") is on the centre line plane of the vehicle, but can vary greatly in height.
This point can be calculated using geometric techniques and is greatly influenced by the type of suspension, but can also be found by experiment, using the following definition.
The RC is the point that a horizontal force passes through, that, when this horizontal force is applied to the body of the vehicle, produces no body roll.
So a horizontal force can be applied at differing heights, until no body roll is observed.
Try this on a sidecar, and the only point that will not produce body roll is at ground level, so the RC of a trailing arm suspension system with "infinitely" long "swinging arms" is at ground level.
A vehicle can have a RC at ground level at one end, and a RC above ground level at the other, an example being early VWs, and give rise to their name for quirky handling.
Centre of gravity.
The "centre of gravity" (CG) is the single point that the entire mass of the vehicle can be considered to be acting through.
If the vehicle is suspended from any point, the CG will be directly below the point of suspension.
On motorcycle and sidecar, a vehicle of low mass to start with, the mass of the passengers represents a large percentage of the total mass, but the presence or absence of the passengers, and the individual mass (weight) of the passengers, will move the centre of gravity, and in a way that isn't possible to calculate accurately.
If the added mass is above the CG the height of the CG will rise, if added below the CG, the CG height will fall.
The CG will move towards an added mass, and away from any removed mass.
Body English from the rider and passenger can greatly help the sidecar stability, but requires knowledge of how the forces on a sidecar outfit act together.
This knowledge can come from education, but is much more likely to have come from experience, a sidecar rider as passenger is educational, as the rider as passenger is applying weight transfer based on their experience as a rider.
Due to the low mass (relatively) of the motorcycle and sidecar to the mass of the passengers, the CG is very high, as the rider sits high on the motorcycle, passengers sit less high, but still raises the CG, which has a huge disadvantage as it takes less lateral force to move the effective CG outside the triangle of tyre contact patches the higher the CG and hence loss of stability.
A lesson that is often learnt the hard way is that as the sidecar wheel, or bike rear wheel, lifts, meaning the CG is outside the triangle of tyre contact patches, the stability is decreasing the higher the wheel lifts, thanks to the high CG and is an area of control that repays experience gained by practice.
CG to left of front wheel to back wheel line.
CG ahead of front wheel to sidecar wheel line.
Roll lever arm.
This is where the whole "centre of roll" thing comes together, at least from a car point of view.
If the CG and the RC are the same point, then there is no body roll as the vehicle corners, but as with all things engineering, it is a compromise.
The problem being that to have the RC high enough to be close to the CG on most vehicles requires the "virtual swinging arm" to point upwards drastically, which has some nasty effects on the suspension when cornering, known as "jacking", where the cornering forces act on the suspension to make the outboard suspension raise when loaded laterally.
A suspension system of this type would also change wheel track radically as the suspension is compressed, which trailing arm suspension doesnt do.
The greater the distance between the RC and the CG the more body roll a given side force will produce, as the lever arm between the to points is greater.
Hence the disadvantage of the sidecar high CG
On F1 cars, the RC is often below the ground surface to prevent "jacking", and the CG is maintained very low by close attention to weight distribution on the rest of the car and drivers position. Which puts the two in perspective, in my opinion.
F1 racing car suspension, RC below ground level.
How this effects sidecar cornering.
On vehicles with more conventional suspensions, the relationship of the road contact patch with the tyre attitude, known as camber, is either maintained or intentionally changed as the suspension moves.
On motorcycle and sidecars (and old VW front suspension) the camber is not maintained as the sidecar rolls, so the tyre contact patch is reduced as the roll increases.
Tyre camber change in trailing arm suspension systems.
It is from trying to achieve this that the desire for a "no roll" sidecar suspension comes from, but it can't practically be achieved by suspension changes alone.
The change in tyre camber generates a turn cone in the opposite direction of the turn generating the camber change.
Anti-roll bars.
The only alternative still available to the sidecar is the anti-roll bar, now popular on some Australian built outfits, to make the sidecar roll laterally in a minimal manner, through simple constraint of suspension movement through the anti-roll bar alone.
An anti-roll bar works by resisting any asymmetrical suspension movement.
It will allow free movement of both suspension elements through their full travel, just so long as the movement of the suspension is the same.
As soon as one side of the suspension moves further or less than the other side, the anti-roll bar acts as a torsion bar spring and transfers some of the unbalanced forces towards the other side, hence resisting asymmetrical suspension movement.
By controlling the roll of the sidecar, the CG already high, stays more within the tyre contact patch triangle than if roll were unrestrained.
An anti-roll bar mounted transversely is already accepted practice in Australia, but the next step is to look at fitting an anti-roll bar between the back and front motorcycle wheels, which will need some clever engineering to link it to the front wheel, so it has minimal effect on steering, interesting dynamics are involved.
By fitting an anti-roll bar fore and aft, the roll of the sidecar, especially in turns away from the sidecar, it controlled and the tendency of the back wheel to lift is reduced by restraining the dip of the front suspension.
The anti-roll bar acts in this case to transfer some of the load transferred to the front suspension through weight transfer, to the back suspension, causing the back suspension to squat as the front suspension compresses, but this is in the nature of a parallel squat, and aids stability through restraining the CG within the tyre contact triangle.

Excellent post Gadget!
We have mounted anti-swaybars to a lot of diferent combinations. They can indeed make dramatic differences in the handling.

How to determine the location of the static centre of gravity of a motorcycle and sidecar.
The handling characteristics of a motorcycle and sidecar, in as far as the rate of turn that will lift the sidecar wheel (turning towards the sidecar) or the motorcycle rear wheel (turning away from the sidecar) is determined by the location and height above the ground of the centre of gravity (CG) of the motorcycle and sidecar.
To find the location of the static CG, that being the CG with only the motorcycle and sidecar, not with the rider or passengers on the outfit, requires some measurement and calculation, both are simple in essence.
First the simple application of high school physics that makes it all work.
It is using "beam reactions" that allow us to find the location of the static CG.
Some basic physics, Newton's Third law, "To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".
So the weight of the motorcycle and sidecar is acting on the ground at the tyre contact points, and the ground is pushing up with equal and opposite reactions at each of the three contact points.
The force acting on the ground is the total mass of the motorcycle and sidecar multiplied by the acceleration of gravity, F = M x A, Force (N) = Mass (Kg) x Acceleration of gravity (M/sec squared).
The sum of the three reactions equals the total mass of the motorcycle and sidecar.
The magnitude of the reactions is determined by their distance from the CG of the motorcycle and sidecar.
The easy way to measure these forces is to assume that gravity (G) is a constant acceleration, and it is common to all, we can take it out of the equation, so only the mass part remains, measured in Kg (it can be in pounds, but I am a metric person, so I will be working in Kg's, it is all ratios in the end).
As the easiest way to measure weight is a set of scales, that is what we will use, bathroom scales, but as most don't go far past 120 Kg, we need to play with levers to reduce the measured weight.
To achieve this an inverted Second Class lever is used, see, high school physics wasn't wasted after all.
I use 50mm 1.6mm wall thickness RHS, and 50mm angle iron to fabricate the following.
It doesn't matter how long the beam is, but the longer the better, as the result will be slightly more accurate, particular attention needs to be made that the top (wheel) angle iron is in the centre of the two lower angle irons.
This apparatus shows how beam reactions work, as the action (tyre, and so weight on the tyre) is in the centre of the beam, the two reactions add up to the action, but are each half the action.
If you have a very heavy outfit, with axle loads more than twice the max reading of the scales, then make the top angle iron 1/3 of the way from the end away from the scale, and multiply the reading by 3 rather than 2.
We are going to use the difference between the reactions to calculate where along the beam the action is acting, simple really.
To calculate the height of the CG as well as its horizontal position, we need to take six readings, the weight on the three wheels with the sidecar level, and the three readings with the sidecar at an angle to the ground.
The angle reading is easiest done by lifting the sidecar wheel by about 250mm.
We are going to have six beam reactions, one reading for each condition for each of the three beams.
The beams are, the front wheel to the back wheel of the bike, the back wheel of the bike to the sidecar wheel, and the sidecar wheel to the front wheel of the bike.
We need the lengths of all three beams, centre of tyre contact patch to centre of tyre contact patch.
For the angle reading, we also need the wheel track of the outfit as well.
Draw two triangles to a scale that suits of the three beams, use the floor at full scale if you like, (R1) = reaction one.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
D. Parvaz | 01 Aug 2011 19:24 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Syria, Turkey
Rights groups have estimated that at least 1,600 people have died since the start of the uprising in Syria in March, but that number might increase considerably by the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
Since Sunday alone, at least 150 people have been killed in Deir ez-Zor, Hama and Al-Buka-mal - a bloody progression from battles and sieges in other cities and towns such as Deraa, Homs, Latakia and Jirs al-Shughur.
But how long can the protests - and the severe crackdowns on them - continue?
Ammar Abdulhamid is a Syrian human rights activist and founder of the non-profit Tharwa Foundation (which promotes democracy and development in in Syria as well as the broader region).
He told the foreign affairs committee of the US House of Representatives in the spring of 2008 that, "Change in Syria is not a matter of 'if' anymore, but of 'when', 'how' and 'who'."
Three years later, he still feels the same, and the questions seem closer to being answered by the nation of Syria itself.
Abdulhamid tells Al Jazeera what he thinks of the of the international response to the unrest and how he sees the government and protesters arriving at their end games.
You note on your blog that "world leaders are appalled" at what is unfolding in Syria - do you think that is a sufficient response?
This response is not only insufficient, but is rife with hypocrisy and cowardice. After months of peaceful protests and bloody crackdown, you'd think world leaders will have developed some contingency plans for dealing with this situation.
Instead, they seem content with looking on as the Assads [the family to which president Bashar al-Assad belongs] perpetrate one massacre after another against the people.
What sort of response are protesters hoping for from various members of the international community?
We were hoping at least for a call on Bashar al-Assad to step down by now to allow for a transition to democracy to take place.
We were hoping that a regional power like Turkey, where the PM had said not too long ago that he won't allow for a repeat of Hama, to show that he meant what he said.
We were hoping that the Russians and Chinese, not to mention the Brazilians, the Indians, and the South Africans, will see the banality of continuing to support the Assads and will endorse a strong UNSC [United Nations Security Council] resolution against them.
Instead, we got a lesson in hypocrisy and doublespeak.
The European Union expanded its sanctions against Syria on Monday. Do you think Syrians on the ground (whether pro- or anti-government) will see that a symbolic gesture?
Symbolic gestures cannot prevent massacres and stop the bloodshed, we have had enough of them.
Realistically, how will those sanctions affect the Syrian government now and in the following weeks?
Sanctions are hurting the economy, but with Iran and some Arab states willing to bail out the regime, the Assads might survive long enough to commit more massacres and plunge our country into civil strife, which is what they have been trying to do since day one of the revolution.
How do you see things progressing during "Red Ramadan"?
If the majority of the protesters remain committed to the peaceful character of the movement, we might emerge victorious yet.
This battle of wills revolves for the most part on the ability to keep marginalising the fanatics. Considering the stance of the international community. and the strong commitment by the Assads and their supporters to bloodshed and to playing the sectarian card, this will get more difficult by the day.
Can you see a breaking point coming up in the turmoil that has now been going on for months? If so, what would that breaking point look like to you?
Should the protesters manage to keep the momentum going despite all this violence on the part of the authorities, and despite the push by the few to take up arms, we might begin to see some serious fractures within the regime by end of Ramadan.
Given that from the perspective of the protesters, the fear barrier has long been broken, do you see the Assad family recovering in any measurable way and returning to having the sort of authority it has had for decades?
The end is coming, but the question is: How bloody is it going to be?
Should the Assads succeed in dragging the country into civil war, pitting confessional [religious] groups against each other, then they can hang on for a while longer and the end will be very bloody.
On the other hand, foiling their plans by resisting the urge to seek vendettas, and by keeping the revolution peaceful, will hasten their demise, and will minimise the amount of violence and bloodshed.
