Top five non-seniors by positionA few changes at the OT slot here as bowl season commencesEmailPrintComments By Mel Kiper Jr.
ESPN Insider
The lists of top NFL prospects below are composed of non-seniors. Here you'll find guys such as Andrew Luck, Robert Quinn and Akeem Ayers. These guys could enter the 2011 NFL draft or could stick around for another year. We'll know more about that in the winter.
I made one series of changes from the last edition -- I flipped around guys at the OT slot. Tyron Smith is now No. 2 there, behind Matt Reynolds. Smith isn't playing in a bowl game (USC sanctions); Reynolds is done with his.
All stats are from the current season.
Andrew Luck6-42362453493,0512875
Blaine Gabbert6-62352604182,75215721
Cam Newton6-62501652462,58928621
Ryan Mallett6-62382423643,592301121
Nick Foles6-52452543762,91119718Analysis: Luck just continues to show NFL personnel that he's got the goods to be a first overall pick. You have to love the big jump in completion percentage too. He makes good decisions so consistently. Mallett continues to show improvement. I mentioned Luck's progress, but Mallett is right there as well in terms of increased completion rate. This guy is proving to be more than just a big arm. Newton is the newest addition.
Mark Ingram5-102151468165.61120252
Mikel Leshoure6-12302521,5136.01415175
LaMichael James5-91852811,6826.02113169
Shane Vereen5-102042311,1675.11322209
Jordan Todman5-91933341,6955.1141994Analysis: Ingram looks solid but dropped a bit on my Big Board. He edges James because personnel folks still see him as having more between-the-tackles appeal. Rodgers has shown outstanding durability, limiting questions about his small stature. Leshoure has been hugely productive, and can get outside even with his strong frame.
Henry Hynoski6-226012332.8023155
Cody Johnson5-112501345924.46449
Taylor Gentry6-2250000.0012102
Joe Suhey6-12277131.9014152
Devon Ramsay6-2250000.00215Analysis: Hynoski is a ram and can catch a little out of the backfield, too. Suhey mainly blocks for Evan Royster but has shown versatility as a guy who can catch the ball. I love Johnson, a true fullback who still gets his share of carries. He's built like a cinder block.
A.J. Green6-42124977115.75090
Julio Jones6-4220751,08414.56870
Justin Blackmon6-12071021,66516.81180
Torrey Smith6-1200671,05515.780120
Ryan Broyles5-111831181,45212.381130Analysis: Loaded class with lots of size. Green is an immense talent. He's far more of a skilled route-runner than a lot of people realize. Jones is showing his toughness this year and has taken off. He's a legit top-10 option now. He's been playing hurt and keeps improving. Blackmon is the guy to watch. Now on the Big Board, he's not a pure numbers guy -- he really understands the position.
Kyle Rudolph6-62652832811.79530
George Bryan6-52653234410.83730
Michael Egnew6-4241836988.42940
David Paulson6-42412137017.66140
Ladarius Green6-62304479418.06370Analysis: Rudolph has a great chance to be the top tight end in this draft class if he chooses to go pro early. Paulson and Ellison, two Pac-10 guys, have been here for weeks. When you think of Oregon, you think of LaMichael James and the spread offense, but Paulson has been a dependable pass-catcher for the Ducks.
Matt Reynolds6-6322
Tyron Smith6-5280
Nate Potter6-6293
Andrew Datko6-6303
Kelechi Osemele6-5335 Analysis: Reynolds isn't a young man by the standards of this list, based on his Mormon mission. I still see him as a fringe first-round guy, but he's in that range, and things could improve. Potter is here, though I originally saw him as a guy who would end up at guard. Osemele is underrated and well-coached. He's a mauler with good size for the position, and he doesn't allow sacks.
Cordy Glenn6-5320
Ryan Miller6-8310
Lucas Nix6-6305
Rokevious Watkins6-4325
Chris Jacobson6-3290 Analysis: Glenn played better as the season progressed for Georgia, but that was a constant theme in Athens. Nate Potter (pictured above) was formerly at the top of this list, but Boise State is using him at tackle. The Buffaloes' Miller is massive: 6-foot-8 and 310 pounds. Watkins is the most recent addition to this group.
Mike Brewster6-5293
William Vlachos6-1289
David Molk6-2285
Ben Jones6-3300
Moe Petrus6-2292 Analysis: Most people expected to see Pryor and the Ohio State passing game develop this season, but the offense under Jim Tressel always will be about pounding the football, and Brewster has been a key to that. Ask Michigan. Keep an eye on Molk out of UM. He's been a big part of the improvement in that running game and has decent athleticism.
Da'Quan Bowers6-4280
Robert Quinn6-5270
J.J. Watt6-6292
Quinton Coples 6-6245
Vince Browne 6-5265 Analysis: Quinn is an athletic beast, and as long as he's held in as high regard as I know from personnel, it's hard to drop him despite all the troubles. Bowers (pictured above) was an intriguing talent who's now become dominant, and his TFL rate is outstanding; he's now at No. 2 on the Big Board. Watt is a player the Wisconsin coaches rave about and the top defensive player on that squad.
Nick Fairley6-5298
Marcell Dareus6-4306
Muhammed Wilkerson6-5305
Jurrell Casey6-1305
Jared Crick6-6285 Analysis: Casey (pictured above) once topped this list but has been jumped by others. Fairley, however, has become a machine in terms of destroying offenses. Dareus is here because I see him as a 4-3 DT -- I had him projected as a 3-4 defensive end before. Crick has put aside the question of whether he would suffer in the absence of the mighty Ndamukong Suh, who simply ate up blockers last year. Fairley is now up to No. 6 on the Big Board.
Dont'a Hightower*6-4260
Tank Carder6-2232
Martez Wilson6-4250
Lavonte David6-1210
Jerry Franklin6-1241 Analysis: Of all position groups, this list has stayed the most similar from game to game. Some think Hightower was the more talented of the Alabama linebackers last year before his season was cut short because of injury. I think he's dropped from that level, but he's still a talent. Marve could move up, but he couldn't do everything on a defense that needs a little help from the Vandy offense.
Akeem Ayers6-4255
Justin Houston6-3258
Travis Lewis6-2232
Sean Spence6-0220
Nigel Bradham6-2241 Analysis: Ayers has proved he can be as productive with the spotlight on him after a breakout season in 2009. His physical talents aren't in question, and his pass-rushing skills have improved. The one to watch here is Houston, who has taken off this year, particularly as a pass-rusher. He looks ideally suited to become a 3-4 outside linebacker at the next level.
Patrick Peterson6-1222
Janoris Jenkins5-11184
Brandon Harris5-11195
Aaron Williams6-1195
Alfonzo Dennard5-10195 Analysis: Peterson is as accomplished a speed-size combination as you'll find at the corner position, with the safety size, foot skills and speed of a much smaller corner. He continues to show why many think he's the top overall physical talent in the draft class. We know he has return skills. Williams (pictured above) is another in a line of talented secondary players out of Texas. Keep an eye on Burton, who has risen.
Rahim Moore6-1196
Robert Sands6-5221
Mark Barron6-2210
Kenny Tate6-4220
Delano Howell5-11198 Analysis: Like the senior class of safeties, the juniors are a deep and talented group. Moore drew raves last year when he started intercepting everything and is firmly on scouts' radar. He still could show a lot more, however. Barron is a physical presence at the back of the Bama secondary, but his coverage game has been spotty at times. Hill has been pushed by Urban Meyer regarding his effort. Martin is a recent addition.
Blair Walsh5-10183
Derek Dimke6-1180
Philip Welch6-3197
Grant Ressel6-1190
Erik Folk5-11197 Analysis: Walsh is a fantastic kicker at his level. Any NFL kicker would have been pleased with Walsh's line from last year. But he's also 18-for-21 this season after going 20-for-22 last year, with a somewhat stunning 4-for-5 mark from beyond 50 yards. Leg strength isn't a question. Ressel is a solid recent addition.
Bryan Anger6-4207
Drew Butler6-2210
Brian Stahovich6-1195
Ryan Quigley6-3191
Kyle Martens6-6200 Analysis: Anger has held tight in the top spot since I moved him there. It had previously been held by Butler (pictured above).

The right words in the right order
George Orwell, one of The Observer's greatest correspondents, once wrote: 'Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books involves constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feelings whatever.' What Orwell doesn't mention is the reviewer's spontaneous reaction to a particular name, the little pulse of excitement you feel at catching sight of a new volume by the rhetorically gifted X or the perverse and often baffling Y. Perhaps in those austere and far-off days it was not proper to admit that a name could excite a reviewer in advance of actually grappling with his or her just-published text.

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
Yesterday my daughter – a graduate student in social work at the University of Michigan, with enough student loans for a down payment on a modest Ann Arbor house – asked me what I thought about the university's $35 million (not counting various add-ons) contract agreement with its new football coach, Jim Harbaugh. Having closely followed the continuing dramatic rise in college football and basketball coach compensation levels, I wasn't particularly surprised.
Some observers would argue that Harbaugh -- after wildly successful head coaching stints at Stanford and with the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers -- was not merely a candidate for the job, but the only candidate. A three-year starter at quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist for the Wolverines, he was known for a fiery demeanor and competitive streak that matched his coach, the legendary Bo Schembechler.
When asked about Michigan's chances against Ohio State in a 1986 game that would decide the Big Ten champion and Rose Bowl representative, Harbaugh guaranteed victory, defiantly declaring, "It's a great feeling to beat Ohio State and we're going to have that feeling Saturday. I don't care where we play the game. I hate to say it, but we could play it in the parking lot. We could play the game at 12 noon or midnight." (Michigan went on to win the game.)
The label "favorite son" might be an understatement in how the Michigan faithful view Harbaugh. Given the hard times that have befallen the university's storied football program, some prefer "savior."
Enter the newly inaugurated Michigan president Mark Schlissel, who may believe that since assuming his present position, he has arrived in some sort of alternate universe. Schlissel, a physician by training, came to Ann Arbor after a stint as the provost at (in terms of athletics, the comparatively pristine) Brown University, where a typical home football game attracts around 4,000 spectators. As Michigan fans would see it, that's a decent tailgate turnout.
Schlissel had barely gotten comfortable in his new office chair before realizing that his first challenge wasn't raising money for one of Michigan's nationally renowned academic programs or providing leadership to attract world class faculty, but rather dealing with – gasp – a now competitively mediocre football program.
Early in his tenure, Schlissel – perhaps thinking he was still in Providence, not Ann Arbor – addressed the university's Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs. He raised concerns about various academic issues relating to athletics, including graduation rates of football players and lowered admission standards for athletes – issues that should be on the mind of any president whose school sponsors Division I football and basketball.
But faster than you could say "Go Blue," Schlissel – under pressure from various constituencies – reversed field, apologizing to then-head football coach Brady Hoke and to Michigan coaches and athletes en masse, while offering a "clarification" of his previous remarks. Weeks later, answering a question on the search for a new Michigan athletics director, a somewhat shell-shocked Schlissel remarked, "I've really learned that this whole athletic sphere and the usual way you approach things just doesn't work."
What Schlissel really learned is what we have known for some time. One reason college athletic reform has never taken hold is because the very people responsible for making sure academics and research are the university's highest priorities simply aren't in charge.
One wonders how hard Schissel had to swallow before agreeing to pay Harbaugh an annual salary of $5 million – roughly seven times what Schissel is paid to lead the entire university. And does anyone really believe that Harbaugh – as competitive/Type A as they come among his coaching peers – agreed to come to Michigan without some assurances from the university regarding "flexibility" in admissions standards for football players?
In 2004, the esteemed Yale scholar Richard Brodhead assumed the presidency of Duke University. On one of his first days in office, Brodhead was advised that Duke's legendary basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski was being wooed by the National Basketball Association's Los Angeles Lakers.
Brodhead was advised that he had to do everything in his power to convince Krzyzewski to stay in Durham – that Coach K's departure would do irreparable damage to the university and surely doom his presidency. Brodhead complied, going as far as to join students in "Coach K, please stay" chants and to help fill a human chain forming the letter "K" outside the building that housed Krzyzewski's office.
Krzyzewski chose to stay, but not before putting Brodhead through what one Duke professor termed "ritual humiliation." Some believed it was the coach's way of showing the new boss who was really in charge.
Ten years later, Schissel finds himself in a similar position. When it comes to athletics, very few new university leaders have any idea of what they are getting into. Athletic departments are so financially leveraged that presidents often feel obligated to grant the wishes of fan bases and powerful donors, some of them trustees with far more interest in attracting top coaches than renowned teachers and researchers.
And if history is any indicator in the spend all you make world of college sports, an infusion of cash from the $7.3 billion ESPN college football playoff television contract will not likely lessen this dependency.
Make no mistake about it, if Jim Harbaugh returns Michigan to gridiron glory he -- like Krzyzewski at Duke -- will report to no one at the University of Michigan except himself.
Bob Malekoff is a lecturer in the department of exercise and sport science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Some University of Oregon football players celebrated their Rose Bowl win Thursday night by singing "No Means No" to the tune of the war chant of the Florida State University Seminoles, the team Oregon had just defeated, Sports Illustrated reported. The chant was not seen as a sign of understanding the importance of respecting the rights of women, but as a way to mock Florida State's star quarterback, Jameis Winston, whom a woman accused of sexual assault in 2012. Authorities didn't bring charges against him and Florida State cleared him of violating student conduct rules, but many have questioned whether the local police and the university properly investigated the charges, which Winston has denied. Oregon's coach, Mark Helfrich, released a statement about the post-game chant. "We are aware of the inappropriate behavior in the postgame," he said. "This is not what our programs stand for, and the student-athletes will be disciplined internally." The University of Oregon has also faced criticism about allegations involving athletes and sexual assault. In June, the university suspended three former men's basketball players from campus for as long as a woman who says they sexually assaulted her remains on campus.
The Lumina Foundation and Indiana University's Center for Postsecondary Education will be taking over the important Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Lumina announced that its Degree Qualifications Profile (DQP) will inform the 2015 edition of the classification. This development is yet another step away from the original intent of the classification -- to provide an objective and easy-to-understand categorization of American postsecondary institutions.
In recent years, the Carnegie Foundation made its categories more complex: in part to suit the foundation's specific policy orientations at the time, and in part to reflect the increased complexity of higher education institutions. As a result, the classification became less useful as an easy yet reasonably accurate and objective way to understand the shape of the system, and the roles of more than 4,500 individual postsecondary institutions.
Among the great advantages of the original classification were its simplicity and its objectivity, and the fact that it did not rank institutions but rather put them into recognizable categories. Unlike the U.S. News and World Report and other rankings, the Carnegie Classification did not use reputational measures—asking academics and administrators to rank competing colleges and universities. It relied entirely on objective data.
It is not clear how the classification's new sponsors will change its basic orientation, and its new director says that the 2015 version will not be fundamentally altered. Yet, given Lumina's strong emphasis on access, equity, and degree completion, as well as designing a new national credential framework — highly laudable goals of course — it is likely that the classification in the longer term will be shaped to be aligned with Lumina's policy agenda, as it was more subtly changed in its later Carnegie years.
The original Carnegie Classification contributed immensely to clarifying the role of postsecondary institutions and made it possible for policy-makers as well as individuals in the United States and abroad to basically understand the American higher education landscape as a whole and see where each institution fit in it. The classification was also quite useful internationally — it provided a roadmap to America's many kinds of academic institutions. An overseas institution interested in working with a research university, a community college, or a drama school could easily locate a suitable partner. We are likely to lose this valuable resource.
A Historical Perspective
The classification dates back to 1973, when the legendary Clark Kerr, having devised the California Master Plan a decade earlier and leading the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, wanted to get a sense of America's diverse and at the time rapidly expanding higher education landscape. The original classification broadly resembled Kerr's vision of a differentiated higher education system, with different kinds of institutions serving varied goals, needs, and constituencies. It included only five categories of institutions — doctoral granting, comprehensive universities and colleges, liberal arts colleges, two-year colleges and institutes, and professional schools and other specialized institutions, along with several subcategories.
Because the classification was the first effort to categorize the system, it quickly became influential — policy-makers valued an objective data based categorization of institutions and academic leaders found it useful to understand where their own institutions fit. The classification had the advantage of simplicity, and its sponsor was trusted as neutral. Although the classification was not a ranking — it listed institutions by category in alphabetical order, many came to see it in competitive terms. Some universities wanted to join the ranks of the subcategory of "research university–I," those institutions that had the largest research budgets and offered the most doctoral degrees — and were overjoyed when their institution was listed in that category. Similarly, the most selective liberal arts colleges were in "liberal arts colleges–I," and many wanted to join that group. Over time, the classification became a kind of informal measure, if not of rank, at least of academic status.
Fiddling and Changing
The classification's categories and methodology remained quite stable over several decades of major transformation in American higher education. In 2005, with new leadership at the Carnegie Foundation, major changes were introduced. Foundation leaders argued that the realities of American higher education required rethinking the methodology. It is also likely that the foundation's focus changed and it wanted to shape the classification to serve its new orientation and support its policy foci. The foundation revised the basic classification, added new categories such as instructional programs, student enrollment profiles, and others. The classification became significantly more complex, and over time became less influential. People found that the new categories confused the basic purpose of the classification and introduced variable that did not seem entirely relevant. The basic simplicity was compromised. Indeed, people still refer to "Carnegie Research 1" (top research universities) even though they have not existed in the Carnegie lexicon for two decades.
There may well be more fiddling — the U.S. federal government's desire to rank postsecondary institutions by cost and degree completion rates may add a further dimension to the enterprise. A further dilemma is the role of the for-profit higher education sector — these entities are fundamentally different in their orientations and management from traditional non-profit institutions — so also are the new online degree providers. Should these new additions to the higher education landscape be included in the classification? These elements will contribute to "classification creep" — a bad idea.
What Is Really Needed
It is surprising that, in the four decades since Clark Kerr conceptualized the Carnegie Classification, no one has stepped forward to provide a clear and reasonably objective and comprehensive guide to the more than 4,500 postsecondary institutions in the United States. Resurrecting the basic purpose and organization of Kerr's original Carnegie Classification is not rocket science, nor would it be extraordinarily expensive.
It is of course true that the postsecondary education has become more complex. How would one deal with the for-profit sector? Probably by adding a special category for them. Many community colleges now offer four-year bachelors degrees, but their basic purpose and organization has not essentially changed. There are a larger number of specialized institutions, and many colleges and universities have expanded and diversified their degree and other offerings. Technology has to some extent become part of teaching programs of some postsecondary institutions — and the MOOC revolution continues to unfold. Research productivity has grown dramatically, and research is reported in more ways. Intellectual property of all kinds has become more central to the academic enterprise — at least in the research university sector.
Yet, the basic elements of the original classification — those that help to determine the main purposes and functions of postsecondary institutions — remain largely unchanged, if somewhat more complicated to describe. The key metrics are clear enough:
A few more might be added — but again, simplicity is the watchword.
The types of institutions — six main and eight major subcategories — seem about right. These might be expanded somewhat to accommodate the growth in complexity and diversity of the system. Later iterations confusingly expanded the categories, in part to reflect the policy and philosophical orientations of the foundation. The basic purpose of the classification will be best served by keeping the institutional typology as simple and straightforward as possible.
While it is clear that these metrics may not provide a sophisticated or complete measure of each institution — and they require additional definitions — they will provide basic information that will make reasonably categorization possible. They lack the philosophical and policy orientations that have crept into the Carnegie Classification in recent years, and return the enterprise to its original purpose — describing the richness, diversity, and complexity of the American higher education landscape.
Philip G. Altbach is research professor and director of the Center for International Higher Education at Boston College.
The president of American Atheists has demanded that the chancellor of a public university apologize for sending an email to all students and employees with a video that argues that democracy requires religion, AL.com reported. Chancellor Jack Hawkins of Troy University, in Alabama, sent out a video (below) featuring Clay Christensen in which he argues that democracy requires a religious society. Christensen is a prominent business professor at Harvard University, and the video is below.
The letter from American Atheists said that it was being sent on behalf of a student at Troy who was concerned after receiving the email from the chancellor. "On behalf of the student who contacted us, the Alabama members of American Atheists, the thousands of atheists at Troy University, and the hundreds of millions of atheists worldwide who live productive, law-abiding lives without religion, we demand an apology from you for using the public university email system and your publicly funded position to disparage atheists and minority religious groups as well as perpetuating the discrimination and anti-patriotic sentiment against atheists in the United States," the letter said.
UPDATE: Troy sent Inside Higher Ed this statement on Friday: "The purpose of this email was to spur introspection and encourage thoughtful discussion as we transition from the challenges of 2014 to the opportunities ahead in 2015. Troy University is an international university that contributes regularly to the global marketplace of ideas. This message and video were shared to provide the university community with information and insights for healthy consideration and debate about our country's democracy, the role it plays in the world and the challenges America faces going forward."
Oregon State University this year apologized for not taking seriously allegations of a gang rape made by a woman about four men, two of them Oregon State football players, in 1998. The Oregonian revived interest in the case with an interview this year with the woman who brought the charges. And that led the university to apologize, and to note how difficult it would be today to revive the case in any legal sense. A new article in the newspaper details just how much information Oregon State had at the time the charges were first made (it turns out a very detailed account), and why no prosecutions took place. A summary from the article puts it this way:
"The school never responded after she reported the assault. Pervasive conflicts of interest clouded judgment. The betrayal included hasty and questionable decisions made by local police and the district attorney's office. Evidence was destroyed years before the statute of limitations expired -- despite the strong urging by a deputy district attorney to preserve it. OSU insiders acknowledged problems in the way sex assaults were reported and handled back then, but no one seemed to care deeply enough about Tracy [the woman who made the charges, and who spoke to the newspaper with her name] to do anything about it. Officials involved portrayed a campus administration consumed with fundraising and with protecting its own image as it tiptoed around the controversy."
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill revealed Wednesday that it is seeking to fire Jeanette Boxill, former chair of the Faculty Council, for her role in a scandal in which athletes and some other students were steered to phony courses in which they were assured of good grades. The depth of the scandal stunned UNC, and Boxill's involvement has been particularly upsetting to many there. A report released in October found that, as an adviser for women's basketball players, Boxill steered students to fake courses with suggestions about what grades they needed.
UNC officials have resisted until now revealing the disciplinary actions they were taking until all appeals had been exhausted. But facing lawsuits from media organizations, the university agreed to reveal those who have been fired or who the university is seeking to fire, including Boxill. The university statement said that Boxill still has an appeal pending. But the statement said that revealing the punishment being sought was appropriate. "In light of the extraordinary circumstances underlying the longstanding and intolerable academic irregularities ..., as well as her role as chair of the faculty council during a period of time [in which the fake courses were offered], the chancellor has determined that in order to preserve the university's integrity, it is necessary to disclose that, on October 22, 2014, the University informed faculty member Jeanette Boxill, Ph.D., of an intent to terminate her employment based on evidence accompanying the report. Dr. Boxill responded by requesting a hearing before a committee of the faculty — a decision we fully respect. While that process is pending, and after extensive reflection and deliberation, the chancellor determined that disclosing this information relating to Dr. Boxill is necessary to maintaining the level and quality of services Carolina provides as well as our integrity as we continue to move forward."
Boxill did not respond to an email from Inside Higher Ed.
Audit of a Tennessee community college raises questions about a Pennsylvania private college's decision to retroactively award a degree.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law Tuesday a bill that bans college athletes at public universities from joining unions. The legislation, which passed the Michigan Senate earlier this month, requires all college athletes to be classified as "students," preventing them from being classified as employees.
There's been no indication that such an attempt to unionize was taking place at Michigan's public universities, and the legislation was apparently in response to the ongoing unionization efforts of athletes at Northwestern University, a private university in Illinois. (The National Labor Relations Board oversees unionization issues at private institutions, but states govern unionization rules for state employees.) "The Republican Legislature has done so much union busting over the years that now they've resorted to busting unions that don't even exist," a spokesman for Progress Michigan, a progressive marketing group, told Michigan Live.
Law school reaches agreement with Education Department to do more to protect victims of sexual assault.
Georgia legislators have been boasting about a new ethics law that imposes strict reporting requirements on lobbyists and bars lawmakers from accepting anything worth more than $75. But The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the new law exempts interactions with the public higher education system. As a result, public universities have been able to continue to lobby (without reporting on their activities) and to provide valuable gifts in the form of tickets to athletic events and expensive meals. During the fall, universities spent more than $20,000 on football tickets and meals and other events on game days.
Speaker of the House David Ralston, a Republican, defended the exemption for higher education. "These state employees serve as an informational resource to legislators on matters pertaining to state government operations which occasionally may include meetings or site visits to public institution," he said.

How to Prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
In this article
Preventing a deep vein thrombosis, also known as a DVT, is vital. A DVT is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins of the legs most commonly, but it can also occur in the veins of the upper extremities. That's because the blood clot, which usually forms in a calf or thigh deep veins, can partially or completely block blood flow back to the heart and cause damage to the one-way valves in the veins. The clot can also break free and travel through the blood to major organs, such as your lungs -- which can be fatal. This is called a pulmonary embolism.
About 350,000 Americans are diagnosed with DVT and pulmonary embolism each year, although it is estimated that some 300,000 more adults have undiagnosed DVT/PT. The condition has a 6%-12% mortality rate. If you're at risk, there is much you can do to prevent DVT.

DVT Prevention: Healthy Lifestyle and Regular Checkups
To lower your risk and help prevent DVT, take these steps:
- Maintain an active lifestyle and exercise regularly -- daily, if possible. Walking, swimming, and bicycling are all great activities.
- Manage weight with exercise as well as by eating a healthy diet.
- If you smoke, quit! Nicotine therapy (in patches, gums, or sprays) and support groups can make this much easier to do.
- Get blood pressure checked regularly; take steps to lower it, if necessary.
- Report any family or personal history of blood-clotting problems to your doctor.
- Discuss alternatives to birth control pills or hormone-replacement therapy with your doctor.
- If you are on an airplane for more than 4 hours, either walk or do leg stretches in your seat and also stay well-hydrated and avoid alcohol consumption.
During pregnancy, ask your doctor what you can do to help prevent DVT.
Preventing DVT After Surgery or While Bedridden
If you need surgery, your surgeon will review your medical history to help assess the risk for DVT and determine whether you need aggressive measures to prevent it.
Your DVT risk may begin with becoming immobile and continue for several months following surgery. However, in some cases, the risk is greatest right after surgery and about 10 days afterward.

Portugal hoping Ronaldo is ready to start against U.S.
Jun 21, 2014, 7:47 AM EDT
Portugal's first match gave the U.S. plenty to be hopeful about. Pepe was sent off before halftime after headbutting Thomas Müller and Müller went on to score a hat-trick for a 4-0 Germany win. But one of the most encouraging signs for the USMNT was just how out of sorts star player Cristiano Ronaldo looked.
Ronaldo, the World Player of the Year, scored 31 goals in 31 La Liga games for Real Madrid last season. However, during the final weeks of the season, he was hampered by a knee injury, one he carried with him to Brazil. The injury left the player struggling and ineffective against a rampant Germany side.
There's been plenty of news swirling about regarding the superstar's condition, with Portugal even having to deny reports that Ronaldo's doctor advised him to drop out of the World Cup. But although the team has yet to release anything official on Ronaldo's status for Sunday's match, they are still hopeful that he will start.
Teammate Miguel Veloso sounds optimistic, saying, "I'm not a doctor but, from what I see, Ronaldo is fine. He is training, he is jumping and he is shooting. There is not much else to say."
Jürgen Klinsmann remains wary of Ronaldo's threat. The USMNT coach said, "Now [Portugal] are going to come into Manaus pretty angry and I don't know how Ronaldo is going to perform when he is angry. We need to show Portugal how good we are."
It sounds as though Klinsmann is preparing his side to face a fully-fit Ronaldo, meaning that the U.S. is unlikely to show signs of complacency. That's good news for fans of the USMNT, as with a win on Sunday, they'll almost certainly be through to the knockout stages – either a win or draw for Germany against Ghana on Saturday will assure that status.
- csszrr - Jun 21, 2014 at 3:59 PM
Considering the way that things are going, I'm sure Portugal will be given at least 8 minutes of stoppage time.

In fairness to that game there were a lot of injuries, Jozy, Demsey, Besler, some Ghananian guy.

Juniata Spring Summer 2012 Magazine
Published twice yearly by Juniata College, Office of Advancement and Marketing. Juniata College is an independent, co-educational college of liberal arts and sciences founded by members of the Church of the Brethren in 1876. Juniata's mission is to provide an engaging personalized educational experience empowering our students to develop the skills, knowledge and values that lead to a fulfilling life of service and ethical leadership in the global community.
Star Search: Juniata Refurbishes Century-Old Telescope Physics professors are noted for thinking Big Ideas, like the origin of the universe, quarks, black holes. At Juniata, the physics faculty does ponder those questions but they also notice the little things--like an antique 100-year-old telescope gathering dust in a storage room. Currently, two professors are overseeing the restoration of a 1908 Brashear telescope, which was purchased that year by the College after its maker, James A. Brashear visited Juniata to give a lecture. The faculty decided to buy the instrument and Brashear himself delivered the 5-inch refractor telescope on a return lecture date. Flash-forward a century or so as Jim Borgardt, professor of physics, takes a group of students enrolled in the College's Remote Field Course on a tour of Arizona's Lowell Observatory. The guide takes pains to show the group a beautifully maintained old telescope. "I immediately recognized it," Borgardt says. The college had used the Brashear telescope well into the 20th century. Over time, though, the faculty moved on to more modern equipment and the Brashear instrument was put into a closet. Borgardt's first instinct was to buy a bottle of Brasso and shine the telescope to its former sheen. Luckily, he made a few phone calls first. Fans of the Antiques Roadshow know that it's always a bad idea to clean an antique, because it often causes more damage to the object and lessens its value. Which is generally what Borgardt learned from Bart Fried, president of the Antique Telescope Society.

"Mr. Fried is working with us to find people who have parts and recommending lacquers to protect the finish." Another faculty member, Matt Beaky, assistant professor of physics, now helps out with the restoration project, aided by a student Nick Stone-Weiss, a freshman from North Olmstead, Ohio. "This is still a very precise and effective instrument," Beaky says. "If we set it up to look at the night sky you can still effectively see the planets, the moon and the sun." In addition to the antique telescope, the physics faculty will also have another, older telescope to use as a resource shortly. This summer the Hickes Observatory will have a new 16-inch aperture telescope installed, replacing the college's 12-inch instrument. "With the (new telescope) we will be able to see galaxies," Beaky says. 9 2012 Spring-Summer

9:24 Seventy weeks. Most interpreters view the units of "seventy weeks" as representing 490 years (9:24–27 note). These so-called seventy weeks of years are then divided into three subunits of 49 years ("seven weeks," v. 25); 434 years ("sixty-two weeks," v. 26); and 7 years ("one week," v. 27). Interpreters differ over whether these subunits are to be viewed as a continuous sequence or as having time intervals between them.

Two tenacious exploits debunk vendor claims
The Adobe Flash Clipboard Hijack and the XP Antivirus exploit throw "state-of-the-art" Web security clients for a loop
Many sandbox security vendors claim that their products stop all known and unknown attacks. Even assuming the ability to curtail all known attacks could be proven, it's simply impossible to believe that any piece of software could halt all unknown attacks. Of course, that doesn't prevent the vendors from making empty promises or the malware authors from proving them wrong.
In my testing of five sandbox security clients -- Authentium's SafeCentral, Check Point's ZoneAlarm ForceField, Prevx, Sandboxie, and SoftSphere Technologies' DefenseWall HIPS -- I exposed all the products to dozens of malicious attacks, both well known and not so well known. Two malware programs, in particular, stretched the various competitors to their breaking points: the Adobe Flash clipboard hijack exploit and the XP Antivirus malware program.
[ See InfoWorld's comparative review of Web security sandboxes, "Sandbox security versus the evil Web." ]
The Adobe Flash clipboard hijack is an example of a cross-platform, cross-browser exploit. The exploit was first reported in the middle of August, when it started showing up on legitimate Web sites innocently hosting malicious banner ads. It works against Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and other browsers capable of running Adobe's Macromedia Flash plug-in. When activated, the clipboard hijack writes persistent data to the user's clipboard (that is, the edit-copy, edit-paste buffer). Even users with fully patched systems and the latest browsers had their clipboards hijacked.
The Adobe Flash clipboard hijack deposits a malicious URL on the user's clipboard so that every time the user pastes content, they end up pasting the bogus link instead of -- or in addition to -- their intended content. The idea is to trick the user into clicking on the link or inadvertently posting it in blog comments and the like.
For my product testing, I used a safe demo of the exploit. When you run it, the text www.evil.com is pasted to your clipboard. To remove it, you must close the browser session and copy some new text to your clipboard. In some cases, you may have to reboot your computer to get rid of the hijacking.
I used this clipboard hijack demo attack to see how well the reviewed products could defend against a relatively unexpected attack vector. The clipboard hijack was especially difficult to defend because it used multiple applications to do its dirty work and did not modify any files. As I expected, none of the products prevented this attack.
Another major threat going around these days is known as the XP Antivirus 2008 exploit and a few similar names. A user is socially engineered into installing a bogus anti-virus program, which then detects thousands of malicious viruses and prompts the user to buy the program to get rid of the malware. Not surprisingly, often the only malware program truly installed on the system is the XP Antivirus 2008 program itself.
The interesting feature of this malware program is its ability to modify the Microsoft Windows desktop to look as if the status bar is sending an alert message indicating a virus infection. The alert looks like an official Microsoft Windows warning, bubbling up from the area where you normally expect to see legitimate programs. The XP Antivirus 2008 program install looks just as official, but once installed, the program either asks for money to get rid of the supposed viruses or starts stealing confidential information. By the time most users realize they have been scammed, it's too late.
The Internet is full of sites and tools attempting to help users disinfect their PCs. Most solutions don't work no matter how well intended. Many malicious executables are programmed to prevent easy cleanup, even blocking access to Web sites that offer good help and preventing legitimate cleanup tools from running. My friend, Jesper Johansson, provides a great, detailed profile of the XP Antivirus malware scam.
I use the XP Antivirus malware in my testing not only to see if the reviewed product could defend against it, but also because XP Antivirus is one of the most difficult exploits to remove. The sophisticated coding invades multiple areas of the system, disables popular anti-virus programs, turns off firewalls, and does its best to remain on the system, even when you think the system has been cleaned.
Sure enough, some of the reviewed products don't do a perfect job of removing XP Antivirus, which means there are cracks in the armor that can be exploited by other malware.

Favorite Family Pastime: Cooking with Kids
February 27, 2013
TAGGED IN: cooking_with_kids family_fun healthy_treats recipes
One of the things I loved the most from my childhood was spending time with my mom in the kitchen. She always gave me little jobs to do, and I remember feeling so important that I was able to help prepare dinner or a sweet treat for our family. Cooking with your kids can be a lot of fun. While you should probably prepare yourself to clean up the mess that's destined to happen, these days go by too fast to worry about that, and the best part about clean-up time is that you can turn it into a fun, family activity. Here are a few great recipes that you can try with your kids.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
This is an easy one, and kids love it! To start, you'll need your strawberries, along with two chocolate candy bars. Feel free to add some sprinkles or other seasonal candies to add a little flair to these yummy desserts, too. Have some wax paper nearby so you'll have a place to put your finished products.
Wash and dry your strawberries and be sure to leave the stems on so you'll have something to hold onto while you dip them. Microwave your chocolate bars for about 30 seconds, or until the chocolate is melted. Have your kids take turns dipping the strawberries into the chocolate. They can roll them in the candies or drizzle them with other sauces, like raspberry or white chocolate for a little more decoration. These are a treat you'll both love.
Ants On A Log
If you're a parent who struggles with getting your kids to choose healthy snacks, here's one that they'll love eating just as much as they love making it. Cut a few celery stalks into pieces that are about three inches long. Help your kids spread peanut butter inside the celery. The finishing touch (or the ants) will be the raisins that you add at the very end. You'll have them laughing while they're helping you make a snack that will give them lots of energy and great nutrition.
Fruit Smoothie
If you thought your blender was only good for making milkshakes or margaritas, think again! Your kids should have at least five servings of fruit and veggies every day. What better way can they get the proper nutrition than by making fruit smoothies together? Let your kids choose which fruits they want to include in their smoothie. Maybe while they're not looking, you can throw in a couple carrots! Simply add some yogurt and have your kids press the button to create their very own smoothie. Delicious!
Do you have a favorite snack or dessert that you enjoy making with your kids? We'd love to hear about it! For more information about great activities to help you enjoy your time with your kids, as well as to check out our amazing clothing lines, and for great deals on the best in children's wear, save Hartstrings as a favorite and visit us often!

Customer Reviews
December 2014
Brilliant. Tamas was fantastic - charming, articulate, funny, knowledgeable and engaging.
He clearly loves his city and that feeling is passed to the group.
The wine and strudel tasting was a great treat.
We only had a day to see Budapest and he covered a huge variety of information - made our day and we will definitely return and hire him again for one of the private tours - worth every penny and then some!
January 2013
The guide was very good. The tour included a wine tasting and a trip to two markets in Budapest. We were also shown others points of interest which we were not expecting. Overall the tour exceeded our expectations. Well worth the asking price.

Gorgeous Near-Mint 1871-CC Twenty1871-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Though the 1870-CC double eagle is substantially more elusive and exponentially more famous, the 1871-CC twenty is also challenging and low-mintage, though exactly how low is a matter of debate; the figure of 17,387 pieces prevails in the 2009 Guide Book, while Rusty Goe's The Mint on Carson Street cites a mintage of 14,687 double eagles, though he also acknowledges the higher figure.
Goe highlights an important reason why the earliest double eagles from the Carson City Mint are so elusive, particularly in better grades: while later issues often were shipped overseas and later repatriated, most of the earlier twenties circulated locally and changed hands frequently, wearing out and acquiring numerous abrasions. This is reflected in the certified populations: NGC has identified a mere six examples as Mint State, and PCGS has no coins graded above AU55 in its Population Report (8/08). NGC also shows a total of 21 pieces as AU58, though this number likely includes a substantial quantity of resubmission.
The Mint on Carson Street indicates that visual appeal is at a premium for this earlier issue: "Of the surviving 1871-CCs extant, few are inspiring, although there are several AU-55 and AU-58 examples which possess higher than average eye appeal ..." The present coin certainly matches that description, with gleaming yellow-orange fields that offer hints of reflectivity. The portrait and stars are well-defined for the issue, and though a handful of small abrasions are present on the obverse, they are trivial in context. Only a trace of friction stands in the way of an otherwise well-deserved Mint State grade.(Registry values: N1793) (NGC ID# 26AB, PCGS# 8961)

NVIDIA(0) Failure to construct a valid mode list: no modes remaining
2 Attachment(s)
I am a newbie using Mandrake 10. I tried to install the NVIDIA drivers but got the error message (EE) Failed to initialize LX extension (NVIDIA XFree 86 driver not found)
so I decided to make my XF86Config-4 file look like the example given by NVIDIA. Maybe this made it worse, cause now I'm getting
(EE) NVIDIA(0) Failure to construct a valid mode list: no modes remaining
(EE) NVIDIA(0) ***Aborting***
(EE) NVIDIA(0) Screens found, but none have a usable configuration
Is it best to restore the old XF86Config-4 file or did I just make an error?
I hope someone can help me.

Thanks for checking out my profile! Moved to the Philly/South Jersey area a while back for a great job. I have a relatively short attention span myself...so I thought some random bullet points might be a better approach than the traditional prose. -I have a southern accent. (Think Matthew McConaughey) -I like to do crossfit, coach it too. Basically feel like I should break a sweat every day. -I watch way too much Comedy Central. -I still struggle when the appropriate time to use "to" or "too" is. Ok, I actually struggle with several basic grammar issues. Worst part is my mother is an English teacher back home in Arkansas. I have brought shame to our family (shaking my head in embarrassment) -Super tight with my family despite being thousands of miles away. -Love a good sports game, comedy club, musical, or night at the theatre. -I follow a paleo diet...very loosely follow. -My dog is awesome. He is my running buddy and is allowed on the couch to cuddle with me. If you don't like a big loving dog then thats fine. I get it, but your wrong and I hate you. (Workaholics quote anyone?) Ok...thats plenty of bullet points. So this site seems like a fun way to meet people that I might not otherwise meet. Looking to have some fun, laugh, and if something romantic happens that would be awesome. Feel a little weird going to a website to find my soulmate, but stranger things have happened.

I have a doberman puppy named Macca. He is super well behaved and loads of fun. We hit the dog park a lot. He weighs 107lbs. We are a package deal. He is a great judge of character, so if you meet him he can tell if you have a pure heart.
Del Frisco's, R2L, BYOBs, Tin Angel, World Cafe Live, and any place that I can people watch and have good conversation.
Long walks on the beach, puppies, world peace....(whatever....let's talk and figure this stuff out...isn't that why people date?!?!)

I have the snorkel and adapter off while I wait for the UniFilter, (any day now, I ordered it ten days ago) think it's an issue if I ride this weekend without either?.
I dont think it would be an issue at all, to ride with the snorkel removed. Just make sure you dont have anything under the seat (like a rag) that could be sucked into the air box.
I also lubed the stepper motor area while i was in there. BTW compressed air and WD-40 worked really well a few thousand miles ago. Saves the trouble of removing the tank and air box.

I get the desire to simplify. In my case I need to learn to take good photos with what I have and not focus on more and different gear. I've started using a Holga for street photos because I learned that if I have the option of focusing and composing I will spend ten minutes doing it.

Charnwood and Loughborough Walks
Posted on 14/06/2008
P. Klein
A PACKED programme of Guided Walks in and Around Charnwood has been backed by a national organisation.
The Walking the Way to Health initiative has branded the Charnwood Borough Council events as an accredited scheme.
Walking is healthy, cheap and easy and readily available to everyone. But even though walking is a great way to keep fit, most of us will find any excuse to get out of this most basic form of exercise.
This means the popular programme is part of a nationally and robustly evaluated scheme that helps maintain high standards and is backed by health professionals.
There is also a dedicated Charnwood webpage on the Walking the Way to Health website – www.whi.org.uk
Nita Pearson, Charnwood Borough Council's Active Lifestyle Development Officer, said: "We're delighted to receive this accreditation.
"Charnwood's walks programme is attracting walkers from across the Borough, as well as from neighbouring areas.
"A lot of the credit has to go to our walk leaders, who offer a high quality service, as well as the variety of walks offered."
The programme has again been sponsored by Loughborough firm AstraZeneca – and Cllr Peter Lewis(Conservative councillor for Loughborough Nanpantan), Charnwood's Cabinet member for Leisure, thanked them for their continued backing.
"We are indebted to AstraZeneca for their financial support," he said. "Clearly they recognise the crucial importance of a healthy lifestyle.
"AstraZeneca's contribution to Loughborough and Charnwood on projects such as this is a tribute to the company's involvement in the local community."
Liz Attenborough, from AstraZeneca, added: "The walks programme this year is breaking all previous records.
"Walking is so important in achieving and maintaining health and it is great to see the programme attracting new walkers all the time."
To receive a copy of the walks brochure, call (01509) 634 836 or email your details to email@example.com
The Benefits of Walking:
- Its easy to get started
- Almost anyone can do it
- You can do it anywhere at any time
- You dont need special equipment
- Its free and easy
- You can start slowly and build up gently. If you can only walk for a couple of minutes and then you need to rest thats OK. Where you start from isnt important - its where youre going that counts!
- Led walks are a chance to meet people and make friends - they can be fun
- Its a gentle exercise and its suitable if you are recovering from heart trouble, a stroke or other illness
- Walking schemes can help improve your local environment by clearing/maintaining local paths and increasing the number of safe areas to walk
