Dan Mullen: MSU should have beaten Florida by more than 10-7

Big talkin' Dan Mullen is talkin' big again.
11:33 am Jul. 22, 2010
Is Dan Mullen the diet version of Lane Kiffin? Probably not, but he ran his mouth a little at SEC Football Media Days yesterday when informed of Nick Saban's fairly innocuous comment.
Saban praised the spread offense's success in college, but added that running it can hinder a player's NFL readiness.

The news story on Monday that Tim Tebow says he has worked diligently to improve his throwing mechanics over the last month has had an unintended consequence.

NEW ORLEANS – Urban Meyer's announcement that he is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the Gators created more questions than answers.

10:11 pm Dec. 26, 2009
NEW ORLEANS – Three weeks after checking himself into a hospital following the Florida Gators' loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, Urban Meyer announced Saturday evening that he is stepping down as Florida's head football coach for health reasons after five seasons with the university.
"I believe it is in my best interest to step aside and focus on my health and family," Meyer, 45, said in a statement …
4:16 pm Dec. 2, 2009
For the second straight year, the Gators could gain another championship trophy this weekend in Atlanta but lose a coach.
Two reports have surfaced today naming Florida defensive player Charlie Strong as the leading candidate for the Louisville head coaching job.
Pat Forde of ESPN.com cites multiple sources stating Strong as the top candidate to replace recently-fired Steve Kragthorpe. The Web site FootballCoachScoop.com also reports that Strong is the …
5:02 pm Nov. 18, 2009
While myself and the rest of the media world gushed this summer about the Gators becoming the greatest team in the history of college football, Urban Meyer worried about his offense.
No Percy Harvin. No Louis Murphy. No Dan Mullen, Phil Trautwein or Jason Watkins.
"I was concerned about it," Meyer said Wednesday. "Whenever you lose good players you've got to anticipate a little bit of a drop off."
But the offense …
9:13 am Nov. 10, 2009
GAINESVILLE — Urban Meyer finally figured out what's ailing the Florida offense: everything.
"I think it's coaching transition. I think it's execution. I think it's also some new players in new positions," the Florida coach said Monday.
"If it was one thing, you could fix the one thing."
9:05 am Nov. 9, 2009
Former Florida receiver Percy Harvin lives 1,500 miles away in Minneapolis, but even he knows what's wrong with the Gators' offense.
"Tim Tebow, he's taking too many hits this year," Harvin said Saturday night at the …
2:48 pm Nov. 6, 2009
SEC commissioner Mike Slive made it abundantly clear Friday afternoon — he's not messing around.
One week after promising to increase the punishment from a public reprimand to a fine or suspension for any coach who speaks out against officials, Slive made an example of Florida coach Urban Meyer on Friday, fining him $30,000 for comments Meyer made earlier this week.
During the SEC conference call on Wednesday, Meyer said a hit …

Other then in publications, I have not seen the camera. Polaroid also (apart from Wisner's efforts) has three of the 20X24 cameras (not Wisner) out. I believe that they are rental or leased units.
From what I understand about Ron Wisner's business model I don't know that I would go in that direction.
Additionally, there is another fellow that has hand built and is using a 24X30 camera and it uses Polaroid materials as well.

Because of too many anticipation for "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" - which will come to cinemas in Germany at the end of April - I started these days watching "Phase one" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe one more time.
At the last night it was the turn of Edward Norton to be transformed into the incredible Hulk. And at some moments I was thinking by myself that it was a pitty Marvel and Norton separated from each other. Because he was fitting very good into this movie. But on the other hand Mark Ruffalo fits extremly good into the "Avengers-Bruce Banner"-role 2012. I also was thinking about how it would be if they playing the rule in the other actor's movie. And I couldn't imagine Norton as the elderly and seemingly unsure Bruce Banner who appears next to Iron Man, Thor and the other Avengers. On the other hand I couldn't imagine Ruffalo as the younger Doctor who gets back to his girlfriend Betty Ross, too.
The conclusion for me is that Marvel found with Mark Ruffalo the right replacement for Edward Norton in addition to changing the role of Bruce Banner. But one part of me would like to see how Norton take his place in the Avengers-movies.
Thinking about this topic leads me to another point: I'm very amused how many well-known actors wanted to be part of the comic-movie-hype. It started with Jeff Bridges (Iron Man) and Liv Tyler (The Incredible Hulk) and continued with Mickey Rourke (Iron Man 2), Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman (both Thor), Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving (both Captain America), Sir Ben Kingsley (Iron Man 3), Robert Redford (Captain America "2"), Clenn Close, Benicio del Torro (both Guardians of the Galaxy) and Michael Douglas (Ant-Man). I wonder who will be the next one to get a part of the pie.
And I hate the circumstance that I still have to wait four months to see "Age of Ultron" - I can't await it...

Bucks rally for 91-88 victory over Celtics
Boston was 6 for 19 from beyond the arc for the game, including a 2-for-9 performance by Terry, who shouldered the blame for leaving Jennings open for the late 3.
"Being a 14-year veteran, I can't make that crucial mistake on leaving Brandon Jennings," Terry said. "I told everyone that I'll put that one on my shoulders. That's the most frustrating thing about this loss. It hurts to be in that position and to not even make a shot or the defensive play, that's on me."
The Celtics opened the game with a 17-0 run. Milwaukee missed its first six shots from the field. The drought ended when Ilyasova sank a jump shot with about 6:30 remaining in the quarter. The Bucks' problems in the opening minutes included an air ball at the line by rookie forward John Henson.
"Our rhythm was great and then we started subbing and our rhythm gets upset," Rivers said. "We weren't going to keep the shutout. As some point you knew they were going to make a run and they did. At 17-0 they could have easily thrown in the towel. They made some big shots and we missed some."
Sanders stressed the importance of the victory for Milwaukee, which had lost five of six games.
"We've been kind of in a slump and searching," Sanders said. "Today, everyone fought and I'm glad we came out with this win."
Boston led 27-11 after one, but the Bucks rallied in the second quarter and trailed 48-47 at halftime. The teams were tied at 69 after three.
Skiles juggled his starting lineup, inserting Marquis Daniels and Ekpe Udoh. The Bucks also played without key reserves Beno Udrih and Mike Dunleavy, both of whom sustained injuries in Friday night's loss to Minnesota. Udrih is expected to miss one to two weeks with an ankle injury, and Dunleavy attempted to play against the Celtics but couldn't due to lingering knee soreness, according to Skiles.
NOTES: Bucks forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute appeared in his first game of the season after rehabilitating from offseason knee surgery. He finished with eight points and six rebounds in 14 minutes. ... Jennings jumped over the scorers' table chasing a loose ball and nearly landed in the lap of former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Antonio Freeman, who was sitting courtside.

Updated from http://www.RideDOT.com/rtw/159.html
We're both missing the sun and sand, and we debated long and hard about turning back the way we came from and heading back to the beaches of the west coast. But the pace has gotten too slow (even for us!) and we decide to move through Ecuador a bit quicker, so we're continuing our trek through the rainy Andean highlands.
Rain clouds greet us overhead as we ride through El Cajas National Park
El Cajas National Park lies just outside of Cuenca. It's a beautiful, but cold ride through the tundra vegetation of tall strawgrass. Parts of it remind me of Iceland... until you see the alpacas grazing by the side of the road.
Only mildly curious about the biker with the camera clicking away
This picture above reminds me of a couple of things:
1) I am constantly on reserve. El Cajas is about 30 kms outside of Cuenca, and yes, my display reads 29 kms till empty... Because Neda's range on her F650GS is about 50 kms more than mine, I'm always running on fumes when we stop for gas!
2) Gas is freakin' cheap in Ecuador! The price is fixed by the government at $1.48 USD per gallon. That's $0.41 CDN per liter! For once, it costs more to feed us than our motorcycles!
Twist and shout! in El Cajas
Riding through Colonial Cuenca
Cuenca is probably Ecuador's prettiest city. Its colonial past is proudly displayed front and centre as we ride through the narrow, cobblestone streets looking for a place to stay.
We find a nice hotel that lets us park inside, and every morning while we have breakfast, we can check up on the bikes
Although there are lots of indigenous people in Cuenca, the town is also popular with gringo tourists
As we walked through the streets exploring Cuenca, we realized we had just stumbled upon another Gringo Trail town. The shell of grand, old historic buildings now house swanky restaurants and souvenir shops. Store-owners and waiters practice their English trying to lure tourists into their establishments.
Our snobbishness is wearing off though. One evening, we nosh on Beef Vindaloo, then Mexican food another night. We also repeatedly walk by a Caribbean restaurant that remained stubbornly closed throughout our stay in Cuenca. To say that we are getting bored of the local tipico food is a gross understatement.
Another evening, we visit a German beerhouse
I got Neda blind drunk and took advantage of her later on that night in bed. In Married-Speak, that means I got to hog all the blankets with no fear of retaliation as she lay passed out beside me... kikiki...
The next day, with Neda nursing a severe hangover, we do more sightseeing. We have spaghetti for lunch.
Panama hats!
While we were in Ecuador, I found out the traditional white, straw hats that everyone was wearing was called a Panama Hat. What was more unusual is that they are made right here in Cuenca. So why is it called a Panama Hat and not an Ecuador Hat? Turns out that the manufacturers who originally made the hats forwarded them to the Isthmus of Panama, for international shipping to other parts of the world. So the hats were known for where they were shipped from, not where they were made.
We spent the day walking through lots of museums. This one housed Inca pottery and other household items
As we poked around all the vases, pots and cups, I wondered what would the ancient Incas think about us displaying their everyday cutlery with such reverence? And then I also wondered what far-future archaeologists would think of our own household kitchenware. Would our plastic Ikea cups and Ginsu knives be displayed under glass with little signs explaining how 21st century inhabitants lined up for hours in a warehouse or dialed 1-800 numbers to attain these treasures?
The remains of an ancient Inca rapper: Fiddy Centavo
Outside the museum were the ruins of Todos los Santos
The interesting things about these structures was how the builders cut the stones in such a way that they interlocked with one another, without any need for cement. The best Jenga players in the world come from Ecuador.
I was most interested in visiting the Museo del Banco Central. Neda told me there was a display of shrunken heads, the result of a ritual (even practiced quite recently) by a native Ecuadorian tribe. That was the coolest thing I'd heard in a while, so all day I kept pestering her, "Are we going to see the shrunken heads now", "How about now?", "Can we see them now?"...
Real live shrunken human heads! This head was about the size of a fist. So creepy and COOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!
There are all these signs around the shrunken heads saying that we weren't allowed to take any pictures. And to underscore the point, there were surveillance cameras all over the exhibit. I really wanted to get a memento, so we scoped what we thought was a blind spot amongst the cameras (like Mission Impossible) and then surreptitiously stole shots of the shrunken heads.
Not soon after, we saw a security guard approach us, so we quickly turned around and fled the building, camera safely stashed away with our prized pictures inside!
A lot of the buildings in Cuenca are covered in amazing artwork
Neda can't walk past a pet store without stopping to go inside
Hanging out with Valentino in Jerez during breakfast
There aren't many things that dictate our travel schedule, but MotoGP is one of them. We stayed an extra few days just so that we could download the race that weekend, but to our surprise, the cafe where we stopped to have breakfast was actually showing the race live! Motorcycle racing is not very popular in North America, so it was quite a novelty to watch it in a public place.
We were the only ones watching the race in the restaurant, and we get quite excited and very loud when there's a close pass or a crash. One or twice (or maybe more often), the other patrons looked up from their nice and quiet Sunday brunch to frown at our outbursts...
Bucolic countryside scene?
Nope, a farm right in the middle of the city!
You don't realize how strange soap operas really are until you see one being filmed live...
Hiking up to the Mirador de Turi, to get the best view of the city
Reminds us of our trip to the Galapagos. Missing the beach so much!!!
Heterochromia (different coloured eyes) is a common trait in Huskies
Cuenca in Spanish means "Basin" made out of rivers
The city Cuenca is actually in the confluence of four rivers, hence its name. At night, multi-coloured lights illuminate the waters, a nice treat for midnight strollers or joggers. The city (and the country) feel very safe to walk around at all hours of the day.

At this point in your photographic career, you may want to look into a dive case for a point and shoot. They usually aren't TOO expensive if you use an older camera. They add some bulk but will save you in an impact and of course at depth. Those "waterproof" cams are about as waterproof as a 1985 "Cazio" bought at the flee market. They're more of "splash proof" or strictly surf/surface shooting.

Hi Ho! Through the Andes Mountains we go!
We've struck a definite pattern traveling through South America, zig-zagging back and forth from the beach to the mountains. Riding through the curvy roads that twist around the peaks is definitely a lot of fun, but trying to beat the afternoon rains isn't, and the our forays back to the coast give us the much-needed sunshine and warmth to keep our motivations and morale high. Travel fatigue is still an issue and having to travel through the noise and traffic of large cities just hammers that weariness home.
Neda waves: "Bye-bye, Cuenca!"
We're headed to a place that the folks at Ecuador Freedom Bike Rental guys recommended, Vilcabamba. Aside from being a chill place to relax, take in the nature and hike, we're told that there are frequent UFO sightings there, and all sorts of alien encounter enthusiasts descend on the town hoping to catch a glimpse of ET, Alf, Mork or Mindy. I want to believe, too!
Back through twisty mountain roads
Neda found a great place called Izhcayluma Lodge, which is about 5 minutes away from the town of Vilcabamba. It's in the valley overlooking a scenic chain of mountains in the distance. Owned by a German, the ambiance and (especially) the restaurant offered a bit of a change-up of the Latin American fare we've been trying to get away from lately. We initially booked a room for a couple of nights, but deep down, both of us knew full well we'd be staying a bit longer than that...
Scanning the skies over Izhcayluma lodge. No UFOs yet, but a nice double rainbow. Because, you know... rain... *sigh*
It was a very relaxing time for us. Neda got a lot of reading done, I pretended to work on the blog, and we both enjoyed being surrounded by nature.
All Ami and Nieve do is lie around all day. We have a lot in common.
There are two resident dogs at Izhcayluma, Ami and Nieve, and they immediately attach themselves to us, because we're the only guests that play fetch and roughhouse with them. Every morning, they wait outside our room and then follow us back after meals. The other guests start to miss them because they're always with us.
We can't help it if we're the cool kids that the dogs want to hang around!
Bored vendors at the lodge passing away the time
Group yoga class
Izhcayluma Lodge is a bit Granola. But that's okay, because Neda is a Granola-Wannabe. She doesn't really get full acceptance by the Birkenstock-crowd because she prefers to hug trees using her dirtbike. Funny story: next time you talk to Neda, ask her about the time she forgot to air-down the tires on her WR250F after riding street, and literally "hit" the trails...
Neda's favorite breakfast is Yoga-rt with Granola
Other than UFOs, there is another peculiar phenomenon in the Vilcabamba. The area around here is known as the Valley of Longevity because the native population, known as the Hunza, are said to have unusually long lifespans, averaging 120 years. Studies in the 1950s concluded that it was combination of natural foods, clean air and an active lifestyle. Who knew all that stuff was actually good for you? Mindblowing...
A lot of the eco spas and granola lodges really capitalize on this Valley of Longevity reputation. I did all of this research while munching on a delicious German bratwurst.
I think Neda is well on her way to living to be 100 years old!
One afternoon, Neda pulls me away from my very important task of doing absolutely nothing and we ride into town looking for UFO hunters.
Vilcabamba's only a one-church town - tiny place!
There's only a couple of main streets in Vilcabambas intersecting at the town square, and a few smaller residential roads surrounded the square. We stop into a cafe for brunch and got to talking to a lady from the US who had the same bike as Neda. Disappointingly, she was not a UFO hunter though. The search continues.
A burst of activity in this quiet town when school lets out
Reflecting on our trip
We extend our stay at Izhcayluma a few more days. We do this because we still haven't seen any UFOs yet. Neda tells me that we may see some if we go hiking...
Neda says we might be able to see UFOs from that mountain ridge on the right.
I dunno... it looks kinda far...
But I get conned into it.
Izhcayluma hands us a rough map of the hike up to the ridge. I think it was about 14 kms round trip! There really isn't a trail to get there, as we have to walk through a couple of places that are marked private property. We got lost trying to find start of the ridge and had to follow another European couple from the lodge - the only other people that we saw up in the mountains.
Neda doing her Hindu Indian Deva prayer to help find our way. The view is spectacular up here!
Hiking along the ridge of the mountain
This was probably the most scenic hike we've done since leaving Utah! It was amazing getting a 360 degree panoramic view of the Vicabamba Valley and at one point, the ridge narrowed to a thin pathway about a foot wide with steep drops on either side. Exciting!
The ridgeline trail seemed to extend forever into the distance
You can see the town of Vilcabamba at the top-right hand corner
The trail ended here and then we were lost again...
The way down was not very well marked and we were unsure of whether we were on the right track or not. I was glad we didn't have our GPSs with us or we would have gotten even more lost for sure.
When we reached the valley floor, we were unprepared for the long and arduous hike back, which the map told us to follow the creek all the way back into town. The problem was that there was no trail beside the creek, just the thick undergrowth of trees on either side with thorny branches. Tired of our arms and legs being subjected to hundreds of tiny slashes, we ended up walking in the creek, slogging through calf-high waters.
I was wet, tired and cut up from the thorns and I took every single opportunity to complain and curse loudly. Neda just nodded her head understandingly, which made it even more worse because every single whine and complaint from me, dug me deeper into a hole that I knew I'd have to dig myself out with a ladder made of apologies. :(
No UFOs too.
So nice to be greeted by friendly, panting faces when we get back! Note shoes drying on the balcony...
We ended up staying at Izhcayluma for over a week. It was a really nice break, but after a month and a half in Ecuador, we're eager to head south and see more of this continent.
Ami looks so forlorn that we are leaving! :(

Over the weekend, online collective Anonymous hacked the Westboro Baptist Church's website and Shirley Phelps' Twitter account. Why would they do this? Because the members of the WBC are just about the worst kind of people you can imagine. With the country still in shock over the massacre Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the church announced on Saturday that it would picket the funerals of the slain children.
"Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment," Shirley Phelps tweeted. Everybody can agree, this is a crappy thing to do. It's sick and completely indefensible. Appearing to be under the illusion that they're in an X-Factor-style competition for the title of "America's Most Deranged Morons," on Saturday, the church announced it will also picket at the funeral Monday of a 2-year-old Topeka girl who was killed by a dog.
Westboro's Connecticut picket announcement sparked further online action in the form of a petition on the White House's website that seeks to have the church declared a hate group. "Their actions have been directed at many groups, including homosexuals, military, Jewish people and even other Christians. They pose a threat to the welfare and treatment of others and will not improve without some form of imposed regulation," the petition reads. Since it was put up on Friday, it has amassed more than 108,000 signatures.
It appears that WBC has regained control of its website, but a hacker using the handle @Cosmothegod is still tweeting from Phleps' Twitter account, much to tweeters' delight. See some gleeful tweets directed at the account after the jump.

Angolan Investors Want Direct Stake in Galp Energia, Diario Says
Jan. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Angolan state oil company Sonangol EP and Angolan investor Isabel dos Santos want to have a direct stake in Galp Energia SGPS SA of between 8 percent and 16 percent and are willing to reduce their holding in Amorim Energia BV, Diario Economico reported, citing an unidentified person close to the Angolan investors.
That is a scenario that the Angolan investors are proposing in exchange for supporting Petroleo Brasileiro SA's purchase of Eni SpA stake in Galp, according to the Portuguese newspaper.
Amorim Energia, a venture controlled by Portuguese investor Americo Amorim, holds 33 percent of Portuguese oil company Galp.

Hi, have recently bought a UK G510 - prompted me for online software update but fails each time.
Download and click install - reboots to Recovery & says "OTA update", then "Installation aborted" retruns to recovery menu and have to reboot. Has to re-donwload the 142Mb update each time I try.......
How do I download the update and "update via SD card" as prompted by the system update tool ?
Current version = G510-0100V100R001C02B171
New version = G510-0100V100R001C02B195 (G510-0100_Vodafone_B195)
It's Vodafone branded bought from Asda.
Am running with OVIVO SIM (which uses Vodafone network) - is this the problem ?
Is it worth going into a VF store ?
Thanks in advance
EDIT - sorry forgot to add - not interested in rooting or custom ROM - happy with stock with different launcher etc. Just want latest stock image.

Best description I have of myself, a social geek.
I am your typical geek. I love to play video games but I also have a social craving. I can't stay at home and stare at a TV/PC all day every day. I like to get out and go downtown for drinks with friends. I like to go out and dance with my friends. I am the kind of person that still walks up to a complete stranger and tries to strike up a conversation. I have realized that this makes me kinda weird, but I like the idea of a in person conversation, not one between me and my phone. I grew up playing in the woods and like to camp and I mean actual camping with tents. a sleeping bag, and a fire made by hand. I do still enjoy camping in a cabin as well. I have grow up with a dog in my life for as far back as I can remember, and consider having a dog in my life a must. My current dogs name is Camillia and she is a black lab mix (not sure what she is mixed with though.) She is high energy and extremely playful. I try to laugh at myself and life as much as I can and appreciated when someone is able to do so. I do not consider myself atheist personally, but it is the closest description of what I believe in. I am not against any religion, and actually believe it takes incredible strength to have faith, I just personally do not believe that there is a higher power, no more or less than that. I have a unhealthy curiosity and when something gets into my head it is hard to get me side tracked. This has become very useful as a computer programmer because it lets me develop new and inventive ways to accomplish tasks. As for what the future holds for me, I don't like to dwell on it to long but I would like to have a kid sometime down the road, I would love to either continue in my current field as a programmer or become a teacher in either mathematics or computer science. I love Erie and plan on making this city my home, we get to experience all the seasons to their fullest and if I every had a kid, I don't think I would want to take that away from them, even if they would end up hating winter, which just happens to be my favorite season. I like to consider myself an open book. I dont mind sharing my thoughts or life with anyone who takes the time to ask.
Camping , Movies/Videos , Exploring new areas , Video games
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Skiing, Walking / Hiking
I don't exercise regularly.
I have Dogs
I find myself at Andy's Pub to play pool, downtown with friends, or the brewery for a beer or two.
I love dogs, and have had one for as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite movies are Deception and Blood Diamond. MY favorite food is Seafood and Italian.
I enjoy going out and grabbing a few beers with friends or playing pool. When I am home I love to play with my puppy or when my geek side comes out play some games on my PC

Corpus Christi delays Stage 3 water restrictions
CORPUS CHRISTI - Citing recent rains that stabilized lake levels, the city of Corpus Christi delayed tougher water restrictions that were set to take effect Thursday.
While warning that residents should still do everything they can to curb water use, including cutting back on lawn irrigation, city officials said the tougher Stage 3 restrictions likely will be delayed until sometime in June.
They cited the stable reservoir levels, changing weather patterns — including more rain expected in our watershed — and the need to prepare for enforcement.
"That just simply means having all of the city departments on board," said Joanne Salge, education and outreach coordinator for the water department. She said the city had to tackle the logistics of having multiple departments ready to enforce the rules.
Under Stage 3, the city determines the public watering schedule, and planned to limit sprinkler systems to watering every other week.
With the current Stage 2 restrictions, watering is prohibited between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
During both stages, handheld watering devices and soaker hoses are always allowed.
Stage 3 is triggered when levels in Choke Canyon Reservoir and Lake Corpus Christi dip under 30 percent of their combined capacity. They dropped from 38.7 percent Jan. 1 to 35 percent April 20. Since then, the levels dropped less than one percentage point, to 34.2. The Nueces River Authority tracks the data.
The city gets a bit of a buffer by also drawing water from Lake Texana, which refills more quickly because of its location northeast of Victoria, Salge said.
Scattered thunderstorms, including some strong ones, were in the forecast Tuesday and Wednesday for the watershed that feeds the Corpus Christi reservoirs, according to the National Weather Service.
Most of South Texas remains in a severe to exceptional drought, the two worst categories. Corpus Christi is more than four inches below normal rainfall for the year.
The city is still in the process of amending its drought contingency plans, which haven't been updated since 2001. The plan's conservation measures aren't as restrictive as some other area cities that have updated theirs more recently.

Don't be surprised if Missouri quarterback James Franklin seeks the path of least resistance this fall. He's under orders. The Tigers were 5-7 in their first season in the SEC, their first without a bowl trip since 2004, and it didn't help matters that Franklin missed four starts and was almost never close to 100 percent. He was still recovering from shoulder surgery when fall workouts began, and during the season was dogged by knee woes, a concussion, cracked rib, broken fingers and a few pulled muscles. Franklin ran for 15 touchdowns his sophomore year and remains a threat. Coaches, however, would much rather see him scamper out of bounds or execute a stylish slide.

Ashwaubenon - President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney battled over who is the true agent of change Thursday, as they crisscrossed the country in search of support and momentum.
On the tarmac at Austin Straubel International Airport, Obama jabbed at Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, for "using all his talents as a salesman to dress up these very same (economic) policies that failed our country so badly, the very same policies we've been cleaning up after for the past four years.
"He is offering them up as change. He's saying he's the candidate of change. Well, let me tell you, Wisconsin, we know what change looks like. And what the governor is offering sure ain't change."
In Virginia, Romney countered at rallies in Roanoke and Doswell, where the phrase "Real Change On Day One" was emblazoned on a banner and a sign.
"This is a time for greatness. This is a time for big change, for real change," Romney said. "I'm going to make real changes. I'm going to get this economy going, from day one we're making changes."
In the final days of the campaign, Wisconsin is emerging as a major battleground, with Obama aiming to erect an electoral firewall while Romney and his running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, try to become the first Republicans to grab the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
Romney will appear at a campaign rally Friday morning at the Products Pavilion at State Fair Park in West Allis.
Obama returns to Wisconsin on Saturday for a campaign event at the Delta Center in Milwaukee, as well as Monday, where he'll appear in Madison at a rally that includes rock star Bruce Springsteen.
New polls released Thursday showed a tight race in Wisconsin.
Rasmussen Reports, which is viewed as favoring Republicans, showed Obama and Romney tied with 49%. The poll of 750 likely voters was conducted Monday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
A new Wisconsin poll by NBC News, The Wall Street Journal and Marist College shows Obama with 49% and Romney with 46%. The poll of 1,065 likely voters was taken Sunday and Monday. Obama's lead is within the margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Obama had a 6-point margin in the previous NBC/WSJ/Marist poll taken in mid-October here.
A St. Norbert College poll had Obama with 51% and Romney with 42%. Polling of 402 likely voters took place from Oct. 25 to Monday, and the margin of error is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
A poll by Marquette University Law School released Wednesday showed Obama with an 8-point lead. Obama has led in most public polls in Wisconsin this month, but often by slender margins.
Both sides are flooding the zone in Wisconsin in anticipation of a close vote on election day. Along with Ohio and Iowa, the state provides one of the few tantalizing targets remaining to be secured in the upper Midwest.
The goal is to reach 270 electoral votes.
The GOP also is making a late move to expand the electoral map to Pennsylvania, where both Romney and Ryan are due to campaign over the weekend.
All of the maneuvering comes as the East Coast recovers from superstorm Sandy. The natural disaster effectively suspended the campaign for several days.
But Obama resumed campaigning with a bang - flying into Austin Straubel aboard Air Force One, which rolled to within yards of where he delivered a 24-minute speech.
Dressed in a flight jacket, Obama said: "We're awed and we're humbled by nature's destructive power." He pledged "to help those whose lives have been turned upside down."
He said that during his tour of New Jersey with that state's Republican Gov. Chris Christie, he "saw the devastation, and you really get a sense of how difficult this is going to be for a lot, a lot of people."
But Obama said he drew inspiration "because when disaster strikes, we see America at its best. All the petty differences that consume us in normal times all seem to melt away. There are no Democrats or Republicans during a storm, there are just fellow Americans."
Acknowledging there is still more work to be done on restoring the economy, Obama said "as long as there's a single American who wants a job but can't find one, our work isn't done."
In seeking to make the case for why he deserves a second term, Obama said: "After four years as president, you know me by now. You may not agree with every decision I've made. You may be frustrated at the pace of change. But you know what I believe. You know where I stand. You know I'm willing to make tough decisions, even when they're not politically convenient."
He added, "I know what change looks like, because I fought for it. You have, too. And after all we've been through together, we sure as heck can't give up now."
Ahead of Obama's arrival, Green Bay Packers defensive star Charles Woodson lauded Obama in a brief speech.
"The president didn't just round up Democrats," Woodson said of Obama's trek to New Jersey to inspect storm damage.
"We're in this together. Nobody goes it alone," said Woodson, who announced he is donating $100,000 to the American Red Cross to help with disaster relief.
"Next week, let's vote for the one candidate who has everybody's best interests at heart, not just a very few. That's President Barack Obama."
Meanwhile, at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha, former President Bill Clinton gave a spirited defense of Obama's policies.
"I am far more enthusiastic today than I was four years ago," Clinton told 600 students, seniors and families gathered inside the field house.
In a nearly 40-minute speech and speaking without notes, the former president, sounding hoarse from days of campaigning for the president, praised Obama's vision of having a strong government and a strong private sector working together. He heralded changes Obama has made in the student loan program and Medicare as well as enactment of the Affordable Care Act.
Obama, he said, has a plan to bring down the debt and use government to partner with private industry.
"That's what he offers," Clinton said.
He labeled the economic plan Romney and Ryan have forged "dumb economics."
Clinton's appearance in the Republican heartland of Waukesha County, instead of a Democratic stronghold, may have appeared unusual. But there are Democratic votes to be harvested in the county. Usually only Milwaukee and Dane County produce more votes for Democrats in statewide races.
Obama got 85,248 votes to Sen. John McCain's 145,089 in Waukesha County in 2008.
In 2010, when Republican Ron Johnson ousted incumbent Russ Feingold for the U.S. Senate, Feingold received 53,261 votes in Waukesha County to Johnson's 133,601.
And in this summer's recall race between Gov. Scott Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, the governor crushed Barrett in Waukesha County: 154,316 votes to Barrett's 58,234.
Lee Bergquist, Craig Gilbert and Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel staff and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Add 5-Hour Energy to the interminable list of things that might somehow kill you. (You've got company, red meat, a dearth of red meat, not enough sunlight, too much sunlight, wine, a lack of wine, stress, genetics, pleasure of any sort, having children, and not having children!) Who knew that this tiny, over-the-counter container of concentrated caffeine could possibly contribute to preventable cardiac incidents? Oh, you knew? Because you stayed up all night surfing Wikipedia after taking 5-Hour Energy? How was it?
The New York Times reports that over the last three years, "5-Hour Energy has been mentioned in some 90 filings with the F.D.A., including more than 30 that involved serious or life-threatening injuries like heart attacks, convulsions, and, in one case, a spontaneous abortion." The two-ounce drink reportedly contains the same amount of caffeine as two or so cups of coffee. (Per the Times: "The company does not disclose the amount of caffeine in each bottle, but a recent article published by Consumer Reports placed that level at about 215 milligrams.")
Even before rumors of premature death, we were always skeptical about 5-Hour Energy. Humble brag: we're just tastemakers/influencers like that. The problem, we always felt, was the drink's prescribed time limit: specifically, five hours. What could you even do in five hours? Nothing, right? It's simply not enough time to spend a week's paycheck, complete an assignment for work, unwisely transform relationships from platonic to romantic in nature, make friends with the DJ, lose 15 pounds, convince some table of dudes to pay for your bar tab, or any other task for which people have been happily relying on stronger, extralegal supplements since at least the 1970s.

Hello everyone! My name is Jerry and I am from Zanesville, Ohio. I thought I would give a new post a try and show the Jaguar that I did about a year ago. I can't remember which company made it, but it was a challenge to do. I would like it to look better, but at least it looked decent (at least I think so) when finished. I used a lot of putty at the horizontal body junction. I painted it green...although it is not BRG it looked close enough for my taste. It is not shiny, I will hopefully get to that point sometime in my modelling career! Thanks for looking.
Oh, feel free to give feedback or to let me know if there is something I should have done before posting pics. I looked but saw nothing regarding. I could have overlooked something though, my wife says I am ADD.

Radiator questions. chevy 406 small block
Ok so I am currently in the process of buying a chevy 406 small block for my yj. I was wondering if anybody knows what the best radiator choice would be and what the dimensions are? It used to have the 2.5L in it and now has a chevy 4.3L from a blazer. The 4.3 radiator will not keep a 406 cool. Im looking for the best radiator that will keep it cool and will fit in my jeep .
