Kayla New will receive her MBA at UALR's commencement Dec. 15, but she has already been putting her business degrees to work advancing her life's passions.
The 24-year-old from Dover, Ark., is the newest – and youngest ever – member of the board of the National Cave Research Foundation that facilitates research, management, and interpretation of cave systems.
The avid runner and hiker said she started caving about three and a half years ago.
"I started recreationally and then I started meeting Cave Research Foundation researchers and joined the Little Rock Grotto," she said. Both groups of spelunkers are on the front lines of mapping caves and documenting the health of cave-dwelling bat populations. Both organizations work with the National Park Service and other agencies fighting the spread of white nose syndrome, a fungus decimating bat populations across the country.
"There's a strain of a fungus that basically messes with (the bats') immune system," New said. "They wake up from hibernation too early and weak. With nothing to eat out there. When a colony is infected, there is about a 100 percent mortality."
Federal agencies have closed all caves on public land in an attempt to protect bats from the syndrome.
"But we operate under a special research permit with the National Park Service. We provide research in biological monitoring, inventory information, and cave mapping," New said. "I've explored caves 150 deep, and one's 18 miles long. I've done six and a half inch squeezes. Not everyone can fit."
When she is not squeezing through underground cave passages, New is finishing her MBA and working at the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center at UALR's College of Business, working to help small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures get off the ground. She majored in economics and Spanish as an undergraduate at Arkansas Tech University.
"It's pretty fun work, helping clients with their business plans, doing market research, financial development, and projections," she said. "I've been able to work with a variety of small businesses, from restaurants to variety stores. I've had such great work experience even before I get my degree."
Fluent in Spanish, New recently completed translating ASBTDC's "To the Point Business Planning Guide" and other agency documents into Spanish.
She has developed skills in Geographic Information Systems – GIS – to help clients make informed decisions by tying consumer spending and market data to specific locations.
"It's my dream job," she said. "If they would pay me to survey, I would certainly do it all day long." She is mostly interested in focusing her talents and skills on the non-profit sector. "I like to help people," she said.
Meanwhile, she is making her mark at UALR's nonprofit small business center, where entrepreneurs and small business operators can obtain free advice and service to establish and grow their enterprises.
"Kayla routinely helps business owners evaluate potential business locations by looking at relevant market data for the location," said ASBTDC Innovation and Market Research Manager Michael Singleton. "She is a whiz at managing complex projects and finding creative solutions to often difficult problems."
New has used technology similar to what she uses at ASBTDC when she maps caves. The dreaded White Nose Syndrome hasn't yet affected bat colonies in Arkansas, and New and her spelunker organizations hope it stays that way.
Singleton congratulated the Cave Research Foundation's decision to appoint New to the organization's board.
"We can teach business skills and give experience in working in real life business situations, but a student comes with her own attitude," he said. "The combination of skill and attitude can take a graduate assistant to new heights, or in Kayla's case, new depths."

From Kindness to the End, a SoulSeeds blog article:
They drove in silence to the hospice.
Orderlies helped the woman out of the cab. The cab door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.
The driver didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. He drove aimlessly, lost in thought.
He didn't think that he could have done anything more important in his life than drive the old woman to hospice.
Before you read my reflection below, please take a few minutes to read the full text of the article above. It's sad, poignant, and more than a little depressing.
So why do I want you to read it?
Because it's also an excellent example of "sacred text."
I don't know if the story is "real", and it doesn't matter.
By that I mean that I don't know if a cabbie ever really picked up an elderly woman, took her on a last cab ride to her old haunts, and then delivered her to a hospice where she ended her days. If it is "real", I don't know if he then "drove aimlessly, lost in thought."
It doesn't matter.
Sacred text, whether "biblical" or from any other source, isn't sacred because it's "history."
It's sacred because of what it touches within us and the response it calls us to make.
The story of the cabbie is in the same vein as the story of the Good Samaritan. It pulls us into the understanding that we are not defined by our nationality or our gender or our religion … or our age.
We're defined, as Christians and as people of faith, by how we act toward each other and the world.
May we, like that cabbie, make the definition a good one.

Alana calls some attention to Newt Gingrich's attempt to tag President Obama with the "Alinskyite" label. This, Alana notes, did not work for Republicans in 2008. If the argument didn't work when it was new, why would Gingrich think it would work when it's stale? It's a fair question, but rather than believing Gingrich is undisciplined, I think he's being more coherent than it might seem.
Central to the GOP's message thus far has been the element of buyer's remorse. Of course, that argument is used against every sitting president by the opposition, but the argument takes a slightly different form for each of its targets. In Obama's case, Gingrich is not just offering unsatisfied voters a chance at redemption; he is, in keeping with his overall strategy, issuing a challenge to the media.
Could any reporter, no matter how invested in his own sense of self-righteousness, credibly and without shame argue that Obama was properly vetted by the media? Could they argue that the coverage was balanced? We've already seen discussion and dissection of Gingrich's doctoral thesis, and we haven't even hit the first caucus of the season yet. Obama's missing college papers and transcripts shouldn't be the central focus of any campaign, but a year after the election season in which Obama was practically dragged across the finish line in a hazmat suit we had to open the Washington Post every day (well I suppose we didn't have to) and wade through the gallons of ink spilled over Bob McDonnell's thesis.
Similarly, Obama was mostly protected from his close professional and personal relationship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers (Ben Smith being a commendable exception), and this week video confirmation seems to have surfaced that proves conservatives right and liberals very, very wrong about the connection. This, too, will not be the central focus of the campaign. But Gingrich has no qualms about reminding the media that their behavior, by and large, during the 2008 campaign was the collective equivalent of Jon Stewart's infamous interview with John Kerry in 2004. (Actual question from Stewart to Kerry: "How are you holding up?")
There are much stronger arguments–as Alana points out–to use against Obama than "Alinskyite," especially since he has a record now that includes historic deficits and unemployment hitting 10 percent. But this seems like Gingrich's way of reminding the media how they behaved in 2008 without directly challenging them on it or sounding whiny. It's a bit subliminal, but Gingrich obviously thinks it's worth a shot.

Adobe reported it will kick in $300 million worth of software and teacher support as part of the Obama administration's ConnectED initiative.
In a lively dialogue, mobilists Cathie Norris and Elliot Soloway discuss why telling teachers to just "integrate the technology into the curriculum" is a recipe for disaster — and they invite readers to tell their own tech transformation stories.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools plans to implement interactive whiteboards in more than 10,000 classrooms and will provide teachers with an 18-month professional development program designed to help them integrate the technology into their classrooms effectively.
Teacher evaluation systems are being foisted on administrators without the preparation, tools or support needed to make the systems serve their theoretical purpose — improvements in the practice of teaching. "If we expect teacher evaluation to lead to improved instruction and learning in schools, we must provide the tools, resources and knowledge that principals need to implement successful teacher evaluation models," according to Gail Connelly, executive director of the National Association of Elementary School Principals.
The course covers essential elements of the standards (including strands, anchor standards and grade articulations) and outlines the goals of the English Language Arts standards.
FineTune 2.0 aims to help educators enhance their writing evaluation skills.
When teachers participate in professional development, students do better in assessments. That's the conclusion of a study undertaken by researchers at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University.
The National Math and Science Initiative has expanded the UTeach secondary science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) teacher preparation program to five more universities and will expand again to another five universities in the fall of 2015, bringing the total number of universities implementing the program to 45.
President Obama expects to request new funding in the federal budget for the next fiscal year specifically to help teachers and administrators obtain professional development to help them make the transition to digital learning.
100Kin10, a national network that aims to train 100,000 science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) teachers over 10 years, has added a new partner to its growing program: Western Governors University.

I think the pre-game humility is all an act. There is no whinier player in the NFL (look at how many times he begs for a flag on incidental contact). He acts spoiled/entitled, etc. But you can't take away the fact that he is one of the top 10 QBs ever to play the game. His resume alone should get him included on that list (5 AFC Championships, 3 NFL Championships, the most postseason wins by any QB in the history of the league).
I have no love for the guy, but give him his due. We may not like him, Baltimore, but we have to respect his abilities and his career.
Since 2009, the Patriots and Ravens have played 5 games, twice in the playoffs. The Patriots have won 3 games, the Ravens 2. NOTE: 4/5 have been in NE.
Brady Avg:
255.6 yards
1 passing TD
1.4 INTs
0.4 rushing TD
24.2/39 for 62%
Flacco Avg:
254.2 yards
1.8 passing TD
0.8 INTs
0 rushing TD
21.6/33.4 for 64.7%
Brady Total:
1278 yards
5 passing TD
7 INTs
2 rushing TD
Flacco Total:
1271 yards
9 passing TD
4 INTs
0 rushing TD
33-14 (playoff W)
20-23 (playoff L)
On a whole, Flacco has outplayed Brady. Of course Brady has played a tougher overall Ravens defense. I think Brady probably has his worst career numbers against the Ravens, of all teams. Plus we have the anomaly of the blowout playoff win where Flacco attempted just 10 passes for 34 yards.
The last 3 games have been decided by 3 points or less, both in NE and BAL. Take out the blowout and the loss margin only grows to 6 points (thank you Mark Clayton!).
Imagine if more of these games had been in BAL...
I can't be bothered to dislike the Patriots.
It's always been easy to hate the Steelers; their team has been populated with assholes, creeps, and cheap shot artists for *years*.
I just can't be bothered to hate the Patriots. They've had a few real toolbags over the years, such as cheap shot artist Rodney Harrison and that other safety, whose name I forget, who headbutted Todd Heap, but for the most part they're just football players.
Belichik appears to be a real deal asshole, but that's not really enough to get my blood boiling.
I still hope we kick their asses. I'm just not persuaded to think of them as the bad guys of the league.
(a) That's Belichik, not the players on the field, and
(b) The "cheating" was not exactly Ethan Hunt and his team of super spies stealing playbooks. They were stealing signals, which is bad, but when it happens in baseball nobody gets very excited. It wasn't slipping barbituates in the Jets' Gatorade cooler or anything. *That* would have been cool.
When I see Hines Ward, Joey Porter, James Harrison, Ben Roethlissberger, Knowshon Moreno, or most of the other so-called "stars" for the Steelers for the past fifteen years, I'm pissed all over again because they are various degrees of worthless human beings.
There have been precious few Patriots who bring that out in me.
Sure, Belihcik qualifies as a worthless human being. I hold him responsible for the cheating and he pops up in the news every now & then as a philandering asshole, but he's on the sideline, and really he's the only guy on that whole team who I feel that way about.
There have been some estimates that Brady knew well over half the opposition's defensive audibles because of it. Unless Brady is Manti Te'o levels of stupid, he would have known it wasn't normal for him to have that information.
Cassel 2008:
Theyre really not that comparable, imo, certainly not similar enough to say its all system and ANY QB would be as good as Brady. Cassel used a much more "game manager" offense that year and rode a good defense. Brady broke records that were thought to never be broken. I dont think youre completely off base with saying that their system is very QB friendly but that doesnt take away that Brady in that system is just that much better than another QB. i think Cassels stats after leaving certainly help suggest that is QB friendly. Brady is every bit of the Elite QB hes earned.
When you lineup and you hear the calls which gives you the play they are running, how differently do all 11 on defense react??? For those who have played at the high school level or higher, it is a no brainer.
Easy example:
Have the offense run a play...then say out loud to both sides, "run that play again" and tell me what happens.
So, to make it more realistic, tell the offense what to run and then walk over to the defense and secretly tell them what the offense is about to run. Now tell me what happens.
In the last scenario, the defense shuts the play down completely because the offense is NOT aware that the defense knows.
How else does one explain the Pats using wideouts to play defense when the DBs were all hurt AND yet, they were successful??? even against Manning who could change the play at the line to take advantage of what he sees.
It was enough of an edge that made all the difference and calls into question all of their championships, period.
And it would have been the worst scandal any pro sports would have ever been through.
IMO, that is why the tapes/evidence was burned because it would have seriously damaged the reputation of the NFL.
And it is sad because they were and still are a very good team, and didn't need it to compete.
But it is obvious that some people in that organization will stop at nothing to get an edge whether it is inside the rules (paying other players/coaches within same season) or not (filming other teams closed practices).
The only thing illegal about spygate was that they used video tapes. teams always tried to get the other teams signals to gain that advantage. i thought it was blown out of proportion since day 1. most QBs and MLB diagnose the other teams plays and adjust accordingly, and today we dont use signals at all yet the same thing happens. thats odd, must be stealing radio signals now.
When teams dominate an era fans tend to think they must have an unfair advantage. Patriots spying the other teams signals or the Steelers taking steroids in the 70s. both are documented but both tend to leave out the part where other teams were doing the same or similar.
Greeny - the Jets fan? UGH
You guys hate Brady like we have Derek Jeter. I get it.
jeter a cool dude, he dont be whining
I'm not saying it was ok. I'm not saying I want the Ravens to do it. I'm just saying I can't be bothered to hate the team for years over it.
I was much more bothered by Bountygate, FWIW. I'm sure many would put them the other way around, but these relative valuations are idle chitchat among fans.
Back when Brady was a constant thorn in the side of Pitt, I rooted hard for him and his Pats. They've caused more misery in Pittsburgh than just about any other team I can think of. Hard to hate 'em for that!
Brady is a bit of a whiner, but it's impossible to play as long as he has and miss as few games as he has, and be a "wimp" at any level. I'll be rooting hard with every fiber of my being against him this weekend, but to say he's not one of the 10 best NFL QBs of all time seems silly. That's why Sunday's win will be so sweet - nothing like beating The Best to get where you want to go!

If you asked 20 million Jakartans what they wanted for the city, you would probably get about 20 million different answers. Everyone who lives in and loves Jakarta has their own vision for the future of the city.
So, in anticipation of Wednesday's gubernatorial election, My Jakarta is urging all Jakartans to ask themselves, 'What do I want for my city?' Here, we've asked contributors, friends, students, scientists and journalists what they think about the gubernatorial election and what they want for Jakarta.
Denny Halim, 24 ,Cengkareng
I think that most, if not all, campaign ads on TV and radio are still intellectually insulting. Anyone who thinks a funny 30-second jingle can actually influence or gain sympathy from viewers definitely does not think that highly of people.
Isabella Apriyana, 23, Tanjung Duren
It's weird when you look at the banners saying that some candidates will 'ngeberesin Jakarta' ['tidy up Jakarta'], but their own banners eventually end up littering the city.
Maesy Angelina, 28, Sunter
I am excited that we have a more diverse collection of candidates this time around. We have a highly committed independent candidate and a candidate with a positive track record in his previous position. I sincerely hope that people are moved to vote and look up the track records and platforms of the candidates.
Jayadi Saputra, 28, Tanah Tinggi
I don't really care that much about this whole election, so I'm not going to research the six different candidates. But I'll still vote. So, what I'll do is I'll just keep my ears open to what my friends have to say. If they say something good that actually makes sense about a certain candidate, I will just keep an open mind and vote for that person.
Debby Devina, 22, Slipi Kemanggisan
I feel kind of pessimistic about all the sweet promises from the candidates. This is especially true for the incumbent governor, who has spent five years not doing what he had promised the last time. On the other hand it is also regrettable to see another pair of candidates clearly picking on the incumbent with the 'Jakarta jangan lagi berkumis' tagline. It makes you wonder what kind of a leader has to insult other people to gain sympathy from the people.
Enricko Lukman, 24, Kepa Duri
In the last gubernatorial election, to tell you the truth, I didn't give that much thought to my options and eventually my decision. But this time, with quite a few candidates to choose from and the different track records they have, like being nominated as one of the world's best mayors, I'll have to do a lot more thinking before making my call.
Edison Lestari, 31, Jelambar
I don't care who wins, but please solve Jakarta's legendary problems: Traffic jams and floods.
Margareath Tirta Yahya, 27, Pasar Baru
I understand that nobody is perfect, and despite the complaints, we have to respect the efforts of our previous and current governor. We should realize how hard is it to run an entire city and think about if we were in his shoes. Think back to when you were in school and even being class president had its challenges, with people supporting and opposing you. Then think about Jakarta with its tens of millions of residents.
Richard Hanjaya, 21, Cengkareng
The interesting thing this election year is that I honestly still can't understand what the independent candidates are doing running in the election, and I wonder, do they really think they can win? Maybe it's because I find politics too dirty and think that there's no way someone without the support of a political party can even have a chance of winning any election whatsoever. But one thing is sure, without any intention of showing support for any of the candidates, Jokowi and Ahok are really breaking the glass ceiling simply by being a very popular minority.
Rifa Nurbaiti, 27, Kalibata
I kind of feel that the election is still likely to be marred with smear campaigns, voter manipulation and possible security disruptions. Parties are still expected to give away money to buy votes from people. I think a second round of voting will likely occur with violent acts from the losing candidates.

OS X Mountain Lion goes on sale tomorrow
Apple has announced in their Q3 financial earnings press release that OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will be released tomorrow. It will be available in the Mac App Store for $19.99 to all Snow Leopard and Lion users.
We're thrilled with record sales of 17 million iPads in the June quarter," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "We've also just updated the entire MacBook line, will release Mountain Lion tomorrow and will be launching iOS 6 this Fall. We are also really looking forward to the amazing new products we've got in the pipeline.
Mountain Lion brings even more of the iPad and iOS experience back to the Mac, including renamed Contacts and Calendar apps, and new Reminders, Dictation, AirPlay, Game Center, and Notification Center, and unique features like PowerNap and Gatekeeper.
Are you planning to upgrade to Mountain Lion or will you be sitting this one out?

OS X Mountain Lion goes on sale tomorrow
I'll be waiting first to see reports on performance for my Early 2008 iMac (2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM). Lion is SIGNIFICANTLY slower for me than Snow Leopard. So much so that I have Snow Leopard on a separate partition and dual boot when I do intense work rather than casual web browsing. Since I'm above the minimum requirements for Mountain Lion (instead of at the requirements), I am hoping Mountain Lion will bring the kind of performance increases that Snow Leopard did. Crossing my fingers!
I'm with you CycloneFW. I have a Early 2008 MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo w/4 GB RAM). The last time I was in the Apple Store, the tech did mention that Lion may be the last update I may want to install on this computer. What I've really noticed is that my battery life is greatly reduced (& I got a new battery this Spring). So, my fingers are crossed, too.
I have had zero performance issues running Lion on my ancient mid 2007 iMac (2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM just like yours.) Just as snappy as Snow Leopard in everything from Xcode to iDVD burning to Pixelmator to Time Machine.
Have also had zero performance issues running Mountain Lion developer previews on an old late 2008 MacBook Pro (2.53GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM.) Running the same workload.
Here are two things you can do: restart and hold down <command>R during boot. This will boot from the Recovery HD partition. Launch Disk Utility, then run Repair Disk. The Disk Utility on the Recovery HD is vastly more effective than the one in Applications > Utilities. File system issues could be slowing down your disk access.
If that doesn't help, you should hit the Apple support discussions:
Tried all that, trust me. Repaid permissions, repair disk, zap the Intel equivalent of PRAM. Had a Genius Bar tech look at it and we used a utility to turn off some of the animations and such. Still I get Beach Balled if I have too much going at once. They basically said the problem is that 4 GB is not enough anymore (Snow Leopard min was 512 MB, Lion has 2 GB minimum) for zippy performance. My hardware supposed has an "unsupported upgrade" to go above 4 GB, but I use my iPhone and iPad so much, that I've just lived with Dual booting if I need to do more than casual work. The big culprits on my machine are if Safari is running, iTunes is running, and iPhoto is running. If the three are up at the same time, I'm Beach Balling like crazy and my Activity Monitor is showing TONS of disk swaps for virual memory.
Oops. Yes. Fixed!
I have been waiting for this so I can syn my iPhone, iPad, and iMac through the cloud. What I don't want is getting forced to mess with the Notification Center and Game Center. I hate them both and wish that I hadn't updated my iOS devices. Perhaps there3 is a way to disable both.
So is it like midnight tomorrow or 2pm tomorrow? Lol. Heck yes i will be! :)
i was wondering the same thing. does it go live and ready to download at the stroke of midnight? or after cupertino wakes up and get into their offices? lol...
Have been running ML on a MBP for many months now. Very solid, nice new features, and yes, there are a few performance improvements here and there.
Interesting that Microsoft says the Windows 8 upgrade will go for $40. Even the "Pro" edition. Compare that to Windows 7 pricing: $120 for Home Premium and $200 for Professional. Apple is hitting Microsoft where it hurts: right in the software margins.
So.....it's tomorrow. Where is it?

Not only did they paper-whip Heller, scare his partners and rattle his financial stakehorses, they made him sign a press release that is the rhetorical equivalent of being stripped naked under the Gateway Arch and having rotten crow meat jammed down his craw.
Although some of this can be chalked up as the rough discipline any big-city mayor must administer and Heller's own 11th-hour foolishness, this bludgeoning seems more like an exercise in the politics of extreme vengeance.
No New Urbanism nonsense for this mayor. Nothing and nobody outside the tight ring of money-brokers, lawyers and bond-writers who always feast at the trough of big-ticket building projects that always promise more than they deliver.
Although Rigali shows little of Slay's taste for political evisceration, he also failed to hit the high notes of his solo.
He kept out of sight until the flame of outrage and angst singed the pointy top of his mitre, content to issue short statements from on high until the day after he was excoriated by the Pulitzers' favorite pulp product.
And other than his why-didn't-you-do-this-before decision to no longer reassign pedophile priests to posts where children are present, the archbishop has failed to adopt programs and policies enacted by other archdioceses across the country, including the one just across the river in Belleville, Ill., which has set up a victims'-advocate office.
Mouthpieces for the archdiocese make much ado about an advisory board charged with reviewing priestly sex-abuse complaints, a mixed body of clerics, psychological professionals and parents put in place well before the current scandals hit.
But David Clohessy, local leader of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, a.k.a. SNAP, says this outfit is about as toothless as a citizen's-review board without subpoena power and the ability to levy punishment against rogue cops. The efficacy of the board is also neutered by the gatekeepers who decide which cases get reviewed, he says; those guardians happen to be priests.
Worse yet, says Clohessy, victims bringing sex-abuse complaints against priests are still being met with coldness and intimidation.
In an unintentional way, the well-lit but off-key warblings of the archbishop and the mayor-who-would-be-saintly do more to remind folks of the clannish, vengeance-tinged politics that plague this deeply Catholic town than to signal an open embrace of reform and new ideas.
Listen to Clohessy: "We're certainly not the most forthright community when it comes to facing hard, painful issues.... We tend to fritter around the edges of problems, hoping they'll go away."
The songs of Hizzoner and the high cleric flat-out fail to pipe in a willingness to abandon the deep and toxic rut of the way things have always been done in St. Louis. Without that willingness, there is no counterbalance to gutterball thuggery and random acts of autocratic hostility and intimidation.
Without that, the way it is appears to be the cheapjack way it ever shall be.
The faithful deserve better. So do the citizens of St. Louis.

Britney Spears Reps Fire Back At Eve: She "Absolutely Sings" On Scream & Shout!
We still haven't recovered from the slanderous anti-Britney Spears words that were uttered by Eve during Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live." Not only did this rapper utter Britney's name without saying a prayer first, she had the nerve to imply that Brit-Brit didn't sing her own vocals on her Will.i.am collaboration, "Scream and Shout."
"I heard that might not be Britney," Eve told Andy Cohen. "That's what I heard. But, you know I don't know. It could be Britney, but I heard it wasn't. I don't know though, I don't know."
We know, we can't even. Just...just don't. But the good news? Britney's team has put Eve in her place, and told MTV that the allegations are "Completely not true," adding that "Britney absolutely sings on 'Scream & Shout.'"
Um, thank goodness. Not that we doubted our queen for one single moment.

Rich Brooks sat down at the Southeastern Conference Media Days in Hoover, Ala., in late July and told the world to remember one name: Danny "Trevathian."
Who? Coach, do you mean Danny Trevathan?
Ever since, Brooks, unbeknown that he's saying it wrong, has mispronounced Trevathan's name with regularity and hilarity among the team. Instead of correctly saying trev-A-than, Brooks has pronounced the sophomore linebacker's name trev-A-thee-an.
"It's so funny," fellow linebacker Micah Johnson said of his coach and teammate. "I make fun of (Trevathan) because coach Brooks says it wrong every time. He doesn't even look to correct him."
Why doesn't he speak up?
"It's coach Brooks," Johnson said. "He can call any of us what he wants to."
As true as that may be, it might be time for Brooks to start learning his name. Trevathan has earned at least that much with his play on Saturday.
Trevathan, a true sophomore, had the night of his young career in the potential season-changing 21-14 win over Auburn. The Leesburg, Fla., native was flying sideline to sideline in Jordan-Hare Stadium, recording a career-high 14 tackles in his first full game of the season.
Brooks said the performance was worthy of Southeastern Conference Player of the Week honors, which ended up going to fellow linebacker Johnson.
"This was Danny's biggest chance to show because we were in regular defense a majority of the game," Brooks said. "I think that we played nickel only six or seven snaps. They ran more conventional personnel even though they spread the field. They have a tight end, and basically two running backs and receivers most of the time. So we left our regular defense (in the game), which is all three linebackers, so that left Danny to record some stats because he has probably only played a third of the snaps in a lot of the games. In this game he was spectacular. He made tackles starting from over here (right fist extended outward) all the way over to the far sideline for 2-yard gains.
"We have never had a linebacker as fast as he is. Wesley (Woodyard) was close to being as fast, but he wasn't as big as Danny, particular at his sophomore season."
It's that type of praise that has led many to believe that Trevathan could be the next great in a recent but long list of linebacker greats at the University of Kentucky.
Although Brooks has had trouble pronouncing his name right, he was spot on in the preseason when he told reporters that Trevathan had the skills, body and desire to be the next Woodyard, Johnson, Braxton Kelley or Johnny Williams.
"Danny Trevathan is a big-time player, pure and simple," Brooks said at UK's Media Day in early August. "He's as good as any four-star guy that you can talk to me about at linebacker. He will have a major impact on this team if he stays healthy this year. He's very fast. He's very instinctive. He doesn't look very big, but weighs about 220-225. He's a very special talent to see so now we will just have to go out and see what he can do."
What he has been able to do has been nothing short of the prediction Brooks offered over the summer. Although Trevathan has been slowed down by a fractured wrist bone and a brief bout with the flu, he's third on the team in tackles with 39 stops, including two tackles for a loss.
Defensive line coach Rick Petri saw that potential when he was recruiting Trevathan out of Leesburg High School in Florida. Although Trevathan didn't have the recruiting stars attached to his name that some of his teammates and competitors did, Trevathan's versatility stood out.
Trevathan played just about every position in high school, taking snaps at linebacker, quarterback, running back, cornerback, safety, wide receiver, punt and kick returner, long snapper, and center.
"He can do a lot of different things," Petri said. "He's very athletic. He was a sprinter on the track team and he was also on the weight lifting team, so he has that combination of explosive power and speed. Being that he played both sides and played a lot of different things, he understood the game."
In addition to his versatility, Petri said Trevathan's raw speed might be his biggest attribute.
"I think you can see that when he came here you could see that raw speed that he has," Petri said. "We knew that he was an athlete and we knew that he was a physical guy and liked contact. It was just a matter of learning the system, learning what to do, getting more playing time and getting comfortable."
Trevathan said he received interest from Florida, Miami (Fla.), Purdue, Central Florida, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Indiana, Arizona State and Buffalo, but he ultimately chose UK after watching the historic upset of No. 1 LSU in 2007.
"I decided this was a college that was going somewhere in the football ranks," Trevathan said. "I felt like they were going to the top."
It's the type of attitude one would expect from a player being compared to some of the all-time linebacker greats at Kentucky.
"I really don't know Wes that much, but I've seen tape of him. He inspired me because of his speed and the way he flies around," Trevathan said. "Braxton was a smart player, a physical player. He was a brute. Micah and Sam (Maxwell) have been big brothers to me. They've showed me the ropes and took me in with open arms."
Trevathan said he can't but help hear the chorus of praise he's been getting this season.
"I try not to listen to it because I try to stay as humble as I can," Trevathan said. "I try to just do my best in everything I do, but you can't help but notice when coach Brooks says stuff like that. It really helps and motivates you to keep going."
It's motivated Trevathan through a painful right wrist injury that by all means could have kept him off the field. Instead, Trevathan has played so well that it's forcing Brooks to find even more time for the speedy 220-pound linebacker.
Trevathan learned this week that he'll have the cast removed in a couple of games, but he admitted that it's held him back from showing his full potential.
"It's hard to grab players, especially real elusive players because it's hard to grab their jersey and get your arms around them," Trevathan said. "I let it stop me at the beginning of the season. Now I've really locked my mind into that this is a part of me and I've got to learn how to deal with it and fly around and get my feet right because I can't use my hands."
Once he gets it removed, Trevathan hopes to start returning kicks, which he started working on in the preseason. Trevathan said he already talked with Brooks about it on Tuesday.
If he's able to do that, well, it might be time for Brooks to start learning his name.
"I'm going to have to talk to coach about that," Trevathan said.
He will have more than earned it at that point.

The Things They Carried
by Tim O'Brien
First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross
Character Analysis
You can't help but feel a little sorry for Jimmy Cross. He's the leader of the platoon, but he's the opposite of the tough, Schwarzenegger or Sam Worthington-type you'd expect of an officer in Vietnam. First off, the guy daydreams all the time – sometimes about his love for Martha, a girl who'll never love him back, and sometimes about golf and its clear rules and expectations. Inevitably, though, during his daydreams, one of his men will get killed, and he'll blame himself for not being vigilant enough. He signed up to be an officer on a whim, because his friends did. He's not comfortable being responsible for his men's lives, but instead of ignoring the responsibility, he confronts it head on… before he slips into another daydream, that is.

Uma Thurman is expecting a baby with financier Arpad Busson, her rep confirms to People magazine.
And while the actress wasn't necessarily ready to talk about her pregnancy, her friends were more than happy to.
"Yes, Uma is pregnant," a Thurman pal tells Life & Style.
"She hasn't announced it yet, but a lot of her friends were asking her, because they could tell the difference when they saw her at New York Fashion Week. She's usually so skinny, but now she has the cutest little bump and a glow about her."
Thurman also has two children with ex-husband Ethan Hawke.

While business leaders are excited about the new business opportunities cloud is bringing about, most are in a fog when it comes to tax credits and liabilities for cloud-based business. Tax strategies and implications — a murky and confusing area — have always been the domain of corporate tax experts. But there have always been hard-and-fast rules for treatment of capital investments versus operational expenses. However, the cloud, likely because it's so new on the scene, even has the tax masters befuddled. They don't even seem to be fully aware of what their companies are doing with the cloud.
A survey from KPMG LLP finds that many companies "remain lost" when it comes to the tax implications of doing business in the cloud. Lack of awareness continues to make tax an afterthought in cloud strategy implementation, the survey of some 250 chief tax officers and other senior tax executives in the U.S. suggests. Strikingly, a full 92 percent of the executives said they have not taken advantage of existing statutory credits at the state and local tax levels for cloud investment.
Tax executives don't even seem to be aware what kinds of investments their organizations are investing in cloud, according the the survey's authors, Steve Fortier and Ried Okimoto, both of KPMG.. While 59 percent of organizations in a separate KPMG survey have cloud implementations underway, a vast majority of respondents (85 percent) said their company is not considering investing in a data center in the future and another large group (67 percent) said their company is not planning to consume infrastructure as a service from a third-party cloud provider.
Someone is failing to communicate — and these findings suggest that organizations may have bigger problems than simply not fully understanding tax benefits or liabilities. As KPMG states, "The results point to the need for earlier involvement by tax departments in their organization's cloud business strategy, greater alignment between tax and other business functions to capture potential tax benefits and mitigate risk inherent in doing business in the cloud, increased investment in infrastructure to support tax data, and improvements in transactional transparency."
While many companies seem to be aware that federal credits are available related to cloud investment, the survey finds that fewer executives are aware of credits that exist at the state and local level, including research and development credits. Of the 8 percent who have been taking advantage of state and local tax credits, most are using R&D credits.
Since the cloud transcends any and all borders, there may be international tax ramifications as well. For the most part, tax executives appear to be on top of matters involving server ownership in foreign jurisdictions — 64 percent have considered foreign taxable presence issues.
The most significant tax issue related to cloud cited in the survey continues to be correctly identifying tax obligations and filing the right forms, according to 36 percent of executives, down from 44 percent in 2012.
In addition, only 18 percent of tax executives report they use the cloud to help them in their own jobs — but that's another story.

A Florida man has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of leaving a threatening telephone message for then-Notre Dame football coach Tyrone Willingham, saying he was drunk when he did it.
Andrew French, 26, of Fort Myers, Fla., pleaded guilty Wednesday in exchange for the government dismissing a felony charge against him for the November 2003 message left on Willingham's voice mail while he was still coach at Notre Dame.
French said in court that he was drunk and under peer pressure when he made the call. French said he did not use good judgment and said "terrible things" during the 4 a.m. call, including using racially charged terms about Willingham, now the coach at Washington, and threatening to burn a cross in the coach's yard.
French admitted to a charge of interfering with Willingham's ability to enjoy his employment because of threats of harm related to his race or color.
French told U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Christopher Nuechterlein he did not remember making the call after it occurred but had listened to the tape twice.
"It makes me sick to think I did it," he said.

Suarez has expressed his desire to leave Anfield for Champions League football but Liverpool remain determined to keep hold of their star striker.
The Merseysiders last week rejected a £40million plus £1 offer from Arsenal, and former Reds forward Neil Mellor does not expect Suarez to make the move to Emirates Stadium.
"I've got to be honest, I'll be absolutely amazed if he does go to Arsenal," Mellor told Sky Sports News Radio. "I just can't see Liverpool selling to a rival and that's what Arsenal will be this season because Liverpool will be targeting that top-four spot and hoping to finish above Arsenal."
Mellor believes Suarez owes it to Liverpool to commit himself to the club, and he has "no doubt" Brendan Rodgers' side can make the top four this season if the Uruguayan stays put.
"Frustration is a big thing for Liverpool fans at the moment because this Luis Suarez saga is rumbling on for far too long," Mellor said.
"Steven Gerrard's testimonial next week is an awakening for Luis Suarez. That's what loyalty is all about. Liverpool have stood by him time and time again because of the talent he is.
"It's time now for Suarez to say 'I'll give it one more season here at Liverpool and try to push to get into the top four'.
"You've got to go into the season with optimism, and Liverpool will be no different.
"The back end of last season gave room for optimism because the form was excellent and the form was [that of] a top-four side.
"If Suarez stays Liverpool will finish in the top four, there's no doubt in my mind. It does surprise me that Liverpool have been written off. I believe Rodgers will get it right."
You can hear Mellor's full interview, in which he also waxes lyrical about Philippe Coutinho, here.

This is the first post from Rob Harrison — Rob will become a regular contributor to Tangible IP. You can also follow Rob and issues of IP and money at the IP Finance blog, where he also posts. – JH
One of the issues that we deal with on a regular basis is the interrelationship between technical standards and Intellectual Property.
The degree of misconception is immense. Some companies (erroneously) think that by contributing to the standard developments activities they cannot file patents. Other companies file numerous patents (or at least provisional patents) on ideas before they contribute to the standards development – and hope that these ideas are incorporated into the standards. Whilst most standards development bodies require disclosure about relevant (or essential) patents, there seem to be few sanctions available against companies that do not provide full disclosure. Other companies go too far – and declare far too many patents or applications to be essential to the implementation of the standard. And patents can still be held by companies which have played no part in the development process.
The European Commission has been studying the problem and the European Competitiveness Council discussed the matter on 25 September 2008 and issued a number of conclusions (PDF).
Conclusion 17 reads that the Council…
recognises that both standards and patents are innovation dissemination tools and supports the carrying out of a study by the European Commission to analyse the interplay between the two.
The European Commission then organised a conference on 19 November in Brussels on the matter: IPR in ICT standardisation workshop 2008. This website is an absolute mine of information on the latest thinking from a number of players in the standardisation field.
It is difficult to see where this will lead: Clearly standardisation is important to improve competitiveness. However, different standards are applied to different markets. Is it possible to develop a single "overall" policy – or would it be better to discuss best practices?

Just read your blog for the first, and probably last time. Why would I read something so negative. It's spring. It's the time of the year that the baseball fan can accentuate the positive. Why are you so SURE Dillon Gee won't succeed or that Santana won't be all star caliber. If all these various Met players, Davis, Wright, Duda, Bay, Torres, Gee, Santana Niese and Dickey just have good seasons, not great ones, the Mets will be in the wild card hunt in August. The Mets don't ALWAYS have to underachieve just because they're the Mets!
I think the whole premise of this article is BS. Yesterday's ruling was actually ok for the Wilpon's. They're liability will likely be limited to the 83 million. Even the judge doubts that the trustee can prove his case. Beyond that I think there is reason for hope. With Davis, Santana and Wright healthy the Mets could have a great lineup if Bay can return to form, which I think he will. These players are bright stars and if they can all get it together in the same year the Mets could be very competitive. These days are way better than the late 70's or early 90's. That was a much more hopeless period in my opinion.
Please take a basic English grammar course, this blog is very hard to read as written.
Webster's defines "inordinate" as meaning, "excessive or not within proper or reasonable limits". Now I can see how a team could have an inordinate number of righty pitchers or lefty catchers or something related to performance within the game but how can you not be within limits on the background of players? Do they also have an inordinate amount of christians? I don't see many jewish or muslim names? How about an inordinate amount of white players? Does anyone even track that? This conversation is in bad taste. There are a lot of hispanics in baseball because they are good at it and a number of impoverished south and central american countries are training them. Baseball itself runs programs to incubate young players in a number of these countries. Anyone whow has a problem with that needs to move on.
Is there anybody who doesn't think Beltran gets injured again before the season's over? The Mets cannot rely on him. When the chips are down he'll be on the bench or the DL.
With all the talk about the great pitching we can't ignore this great turnaround in hitting wisp. It's nice to see the mets picking up runners in scoring position and plating tack-on runs in successive games.
Who's this Beltran guy you guys keep talking about?
I think you have to give some credit to that met everyone seems to love to hate, Luis Castillo. He's been steady and solid. He's had some very key hits and has even made some nice plays in the field even though his range is limited.
It should also be noted that the new 3rd base coach is a HUGE upgrade over last year and has saved the mets several outs in the last week.
I can't understand why everyone is so down on Castillo. He's not going to be an all-star anymore but the guy does a good job. He has the third most hits on the team now, his BA is higher than Pagan, he has more walks than most, good bat control and he's more patient at the plate than anybody on that team. It was a mistake to sign him for so long and so much, we all know that but he does a decent job.

The end of the incandescent light bulb has not hurt business at the General Electric Lamp Plant in Bucyrus. In fact, it's had quite the opposite effect.
"The phase-out is not affecting that plant insofar as it hasn't made incandescents for years, it makes fluorescent tubes. The $20 million we invested last year for energy-efficient halogen replacements is how it's affecting them," Chris Augustine, manager of global communications and public affairs for GE in Cleveland, said.

Manchester United will be without influential striker Wayne Rooney when they take on old rivals Liverpool in Sunday's derby. The England front-man is still battling a knee injury, but isn't too far away from a return.
It will be an emotional start to the weekend's Premier League action when Harry Redknapp faces his former team Tottenham in charge of QPR, and then on Sunday it gets serious. Transfers, derbies, tactics, we've got it all.
A run through of the weekend's points scorers from the FA Cup Third Round, featuring Gareth Bale, Demba Ba and Adam Le Fondre. Plus, we discuss assists that are slightly less controversial than Luis Suarez's handball goal.
Team News for Saturday's FA Cup match where Peterborough host Norwich. The away team are likely to name a number of changes, including Declan Rudd who replaces the impressive Mark Bunn. Elliot Ward, Jacob Butterfield and Simon Lappin could all start having returned from loan spells.
The predicted line-ups for the clash between West Ham and Norwich.
There's always one player who pockets an amazing points tally over the Christmas period and this year it was rejuvenated Arsenal speedster Theo Walcott. 13 points was his reward for a virtuoso display in the Gunners' stunning 7-3 demolition over Newcastle.
Aston Villa titan Christian Benteke was the top scoring player at the weekend with a thunderous eight points. The Belgian striker overpowered Liverpool in a surprise 3-1 win and played a part in all three goals.
It's a Tale of Two Captains for the Manchester clubs, with Vincent Kompany rated as doubtful for City while Nemanja Vidic could return for United.
Did you see that? I'm sure something just changed? You're right! It was the Fantasy League Insider Eye. The new streamlined fantasy football preview is ready to guide you through the weekend's selection dilemmas.
Here's the assist decisions from the weekend's Premier League highlight reel. Look out for goals from van Persie, Zabaleta and McCarthy, plus the seven goal Liberty Stadium thriller.
Spanish hot-shot Fernando Torres was the top scoring player at the weekend with eight points for two goals and an assist. The Chelsea sharpshooter bagged a brace in the 3-1 win over struggling Sunderland.
The Manchester derby takes centre stage this weekend. The Champions are sweating on the fitness of midfielder David Silva, who is a major doubt with a hamstring injury.

best bang for buck in the neoair series
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
In summary, this is a durable, comfortable, compact (when folded of course), and the most affordable pad in the neoair series, which for me, makes it the perfect 3 season pad. You can certainly shave couple of ounces by going to xlite or xtherm. But for the criteria that I use, the trekker is the better choice for the following reasons:
1. I find the rectagular shape of the trekker to be personally better than the xlite and xtherm (just find the shape to be more comfortable).
2. I found the occasional "crinkly" sounds to be minimal compared to the xlite and xtherm as well (xlite being the worst - relatively speaking).
3. And of course this one is the least expensive.
I do think that the all season is the best overall buy however (if you must have a single pad for all four seasons), because it does have a higher R value, not much more expensive than the trekker, has similar rectangular shape, and comparable in weight - but I don't in any way regret getting the trekker. (well, my gf got it for me for b-day....so I'll use it regardless cause I appreciate it).
Furthermore, if you're weight sensitive and/or require higher R-value, you'll have to go up to the xTherm....or XLite obviously.
