Song: F-Stop Blues Artist: Jack Johnson Album: Brushfire Fairytales Tabbed By: ADRA (email@example.com) *= let ring The song starts with just the bass and guitar, and the chorus is played twice before the intro verse is played. Intro Verse - till drums come in G|-------------| D|----9*-7*-7*-| A|-7*----------| E|-------------| Verse G|---------------------| D|------9*-9-7*-7-7*-7-| A|-7*-7----------------| E|---------------------| Chorus G|---------------------| D|-----------7*-7-9*-9-| A|-7*-7-9*-9-----------| E|---------------------| Aside from the intro verse and the occassional chorus, the whole song is pretty much just the verse. This is a really simple, slow song, so there is almost no talent needed to tab/play this song...though it does sound really good. Enjoy.
Despite how simple of a song this is, i could never do it myself, so thanks so much for throwing this, ps it's perfect!

RICHMOND, Ky. (WKYT/ WYMT) - Eastern Kentucky University's Board of Regents has approved a $332 million budget, up slightly from this year.
The school also said 180 staff members have taken a voluntary buyout offer and 16 faculty members have decided to take early retirement as part of the school's plan to reallocate funds to allow incoming president Michael Benson to make strategic decisions.
The school said fewer than 20 staff members will be affected by involuntary layoffs.
The budget includes $19.7 million identified by the budget reallocation task force.
Use of the funds could include improved salaries and benefits for faculty and staff, but EKU said specific use hasn't been determined.
The board previously approved a 2.95 percent increase in undergraduate tuition for Kentucky residents.

North Central senior Darius Latham (shown here Dec. 21 versus Park Tudor) led the Panthers to a 55-50 win over Ben Davis Friday night. Latham, an IU football recruit, finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
- Filed Under
Darius Latham doesn't remember for sure how the nickname came about, just that his father tagged him with it during his freshman year of high school at North Central.
Big Business is what they call him, a fitting name for the 6-6, 285-pound Latham, a defensive tackle recruit for Indiana University. But considering the distance Latham has traveled since his freshman year as a locker room leader and on-court presence, perhaps those two words don't offer enough description.
North Central coach Doug Mitchell offered a few more words on Latham after his 17-point, 14-rebound effort in a 55-50 ...

Unbelievable. Put the fox back into the hen house that the fox had already once destroyed. Why not? All current political appointees, and their contributions must have been very large.
successor? why not leave the ones you have that are working and this time not have the banks defraud them to the tune of 400 billion dollars? fannie is the victim.
Well I get no implied notion of what any of these appointees feel on principal deductions. In my case where I am underwater on my mortgage, and current on my payments with zero ever delinquencies, a lowered principal is the only way I won" t walk away.

July 4 parade has become candy mecca
Before the July 4 Kids, Pets N' Pride Parade becomes a distant memory, let's revisit it.
The parade has been a community treasure since its first march down Front Street more than 30 years ago. There just isn't anything as patriotic as this celebration of families decked out in every conceivable red, white and blue outfit with their fun accessories, all while riding bikes and scooters, walking dogs and rabbits, and waving flags.
Sadly, it has become hard to enjoy it, given the many kids in the middle of the street scrambling for the tossed candy.The candy throwing needs to be banned. Hey, this isn't Halloween!
Sure, everybody likes a cherry sucker or a Tootsie Roll, but the candy has overtaken the point of the parade.
The kids who came with their families to watch a good parade never saw it. Their eyes were only on the pavement as they watched for the next candy toss. The younger kids in strollers, parents, grandparents and friends who were not part of the mayhem had their vision blocked by kids and parents who moved into the candy fray.
Within 15 minutes of the start of the parade, the parade participants and candy scramblers became a melting pot of people in the street. Many on the sidelines were seen leaving early, giving up in disgust.
Crowd control is one solution, but it would take a small army of volunteers to hold back the crowd seeking to satisfy their sweet tooth. The easiest solution is to prohibit the throwing of candy, just as it is at Salmon Days.
Everybody loves a parade — when it's visible.

We experienced the same at the parade this year. We had our chairs on the curb and families with candy-grabbers and a misbehaving dog on a leash stood directly in front of us and blocked our view of the parade.
Perhaps there could be a "candy zone" section of the parade route where the folks in the parade would only be allowed to toss candy. The kids with their trick-or-treat bags and buckets could go down there and fight it out for $3 worth of tootsie-rolls and smarties, while the rest of us could watch the parade unfettered farther downstream?
Got something to say?

An 18-2 second quarter by the Mustangs proved to be too much to overcome for the host Redskins in an East Central Ohio League game.
Tiffany Sunderlin had 11 points and Destinee Barber had 10 points for Claymont.
Hannah Lain and Katie Tupper had four points each for Coshocton (0-6).
The Mustangs led 6-4 after one quarter, but the second and a 14-2 third quarter allowed them to take control, leading 38-8.
The Redskins finished with 15 rebounds and had 40 turnovers.
Claymont also won the reserve contest, but no other information was reported.

BOULDER, Colo.(AP) - Chris Ogbonnaya's sweet blend of speed and
strength put Texas in the end zone and kept Colorado out.
Ogbonnaya scored two touchdowns and saved another in the
fifth-ranked Longhorns' 38-14 rout of the Buffaloes on Saturday
The oft-overlooked senior running back scored on a 65 yard dump off and a 13 yard gallop through the befuddled Buffs' defense, then saved a score when he chased down cornerback Jalil Brown at the Texas 16 after a rare interception of Colt Mccoy, who was picked off twice.

Honestly, Khloe's my favorite. She's less annoying to me than the other two. And seriously, HG? Wtf? You don't know how she feels. Maybe she generally feels inferior to her sisters. Celebrities, contrary to popular belief, DO have normal human emotions and feeling, you know.
I can't believe how insensitive this website can be sometimes. I know I can say some pretty mean things on occasion, but this is just ridiculous. You have lost a member, my friend.
A Movie about Demi's life would be a fantastic investment. A movie about being bullied and overcoming it seems like a better movie than the Prince William and Kate Middleton waste of money garbage they're making now. I think so, at least.
I might be conveniently busy during that part of the episode...
Bad move, Glee. Bad freakin' move... Although, Kevin McHale just might make the song likable...
I agree that it's a race issue. Nobody would be asking any questions if he was white. Whether or not Trump realizes it, he's being extremely racist, and it's not cool. It shocks me that crap like this is still happening in the US. How sad.
The genocide was 100 years ago and hasn't actually affected you DIRECTLY. Stop making a big deal out of nothing.
I get that she's upset, but... COME ON. You're on the cover of a magazine! With a fantastic picture! Chill out and accept the love!
Also, @Baby K; Someone's been spending a liiiiittle too much time hating Kim Kardashian and not enough time doing something with their life... Just sayin'...
I'm on the fence. Idk if he's actually racist, but at the same time, nobody's ever questioned the nationality of a WHITE president... I dunno. I do think Trump's an idiot though. Idiot? Very. Racist? Questionable.
if he runs for President and wins, I'm moving to Britain.
I have like, ten times less respect for Miley Cyrus than I did before. They're both #losing.
Racism? Oh, please. And Charlie Sheen is only a "hero" to all the other crack addicts in the world. To the sensible people, he's just another loser celebrity gone crazy.
Chris Brown beat a woman for no reason. It is absolutely unacceptable. And he's a douchebag. Also unacceptable. No one cares that he's black. It doesn't matter. His actions are what matter. Anybody else, celebrity or not, black or white, would get judged for that as well. How petty of Rosie to make it about his race.
As an ARTIST, I still highly respect and appreciate him. But as a PERSON, he gets none of my respect whatsoever.
Is it sad that I completely forgot she even existed? Oh well. Happy Birthday, forgotten Spears child! xD

Pizza Hut® reading incentive program syncs up with "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," reaching 14 million young readers in 680,000 classrooms for 2012-2013 school year DALLAS, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — BOOK IT!, the national reading incentive program created by Pizza Hut, is beginning its 28th year with enrollment in 680,000 classrooms across the country. More than 14 million students in 38,000 schools are involved in the BOOK IT! reading program.
In May, BOOK IT! announced it has joined with author Jeff Kinney and his book series "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" for the 2012-2013 school year. "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is integrated into all BOOK IT! classroom materials, teacher printables and web creative at bookitprogram.com.
"Year after year, the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program continues to reach new kids with a positive message about how rewarding reading can be," said Shelley Morehead, BOOK IT! Program administrator. "Through our 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' partnership and our 28 years of advancing literacy, we're fortunate to have such tremendous support from schools around the country who want to make it great."
With this new integration comes a fresh BOOK IT! tagline: "Read Your Heart Out,"(TM) motivating children to make reading an important part of everyday life. The "Read Your Heart Out" Quest involves 5 steps for young readers: rally readers, track reading minutes, take on the Principal's Challenge, read to help kids who are hungry and share your love of reading. Resources are available for each step of the Quest at http://www.bookitprogram.com/readyourheartout/
"Our team developed the 'Read Your Heart Out' Quest in an effort to make reading that much more fun for students, teachers and parents," said Morehead. "BOOK IT! students can read for a cause, principals can show their school the importance of literacy with wacky reading stunts and teachers can make reading a learning adventure in their classrooms."
BOOK IT! is drawing on its partnership with the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series to further encourage the "Read Your Heart Out" theme. One of the most successful children's book series ever published, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books have been on multiple national bestsellers lists since publication of the original volume in 2007. There are more than 75 million copies in print in over 40 countries around the world.
"The BOOK IT! Program and 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' are a perfect match," added Jeff Kinney, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" author. "Both BOOK IT! and 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' are passionate about bringing reading to life in a fun and relevant way."
The BOOK IT! reading incentive program, launched by Pizza Hut in 1985, reaches more than 680,000 classrooms and 14 million children annually. Teachers and librarians set monthly goals and present students with a reading award certificate when goals are met. Students take the certificates to a Pizza Hut restaurant, where they are congratulated by a team member and given a free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza®. There is no purchase necessary and the pizza can be taken to go.
The BOOK IT! Program is part of the "Share a Slice of Hope" movement at Pizza Hut. Share a Slice of Hope encourages consumers and Pizza Hut employees nationwide to help others through the company's three philanthropic pillars: children's literacy, world hunger relief and community involvement.
About BOOK IT!
In 1985, Pizza Hut established the BOOK IT! National Reading Incentive Program to motivate children to read more and help them develop a lifelong love of reading. BOOK IT! is a six-month program for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

Back at the turn of the last century, brothers Charles and August Lutz had adjoining farms just northeast of the city of Marshfield.
Charles Lutz was born November 1848 in Germany and came to the states with his parents in 1855 when he was 7. Eventually making his way to a farm adjoining that of his brother, just northeast of Marshfield, Charles and his wife, Fredricka, had 11 children over a span of 18 years: George, Freida, Edwin, Amelia, Lotta, William, Leopold, Herbert, Dora, August Roy and Erwin.
Fredericka, better known as Rika, married Charles, 15 years her senior, when she was just 17.
Although loving his farm, Charles seemed to have an issue with the Welter sawmill, which was uphill some distance from his farm. He began to notice sawdust and refuse accumulating on his property.
Sometime after this started, two of the Lutz children died of undetermined causes, and Charles became convinced it was due to contamination from the sawmill.
Hiring C. Bird and C. Edwards as attorneys, in 1906, Lutz sued mill owners Linster and Welter for the death of his children. A jury was chosen and the trial began, but even taking the jurors out to the farm to view the refuse did no good. Lutz lost his case.
Although it was hard to lose two children to unexplained illness, a further tragedy haunted the family. In August 1911, it was thought that 10-year-old Willie Lutz shot his younger brother, August Roy, 5.
Immediately after the incident, Willie ran into the woods and could not be found. Driven by the terror of his brother's death, he spent most of the night in the woods with a storm raging and no shelter to be found.
The following day, Willie finally was located at a neighboring farm where he eventually had taken refuge.
Although everyone assumed that Willie had shot his brother through the chest while playing with the shotgun he had found, Willie now told a different story. Willie said he was in the orchard when he heard the report of the gun and ran to the granary to see what had happened. He said he found his younger brother lying dead, having shot himself. The Marshfield Times stated that this so frightened the older boy that he ran off to the woods. There had been no witnesses.
The funeral service for August Roy was held at the Range Line Church on Aug. 9 and was widely attended.
While most marriages face some bad times as well as good, for Fredericka, the heartaches were many, and life evidently was unduly hard with the loss of three children.
Everyone seemed to understand when in April 1913, Fredericka filed for divorce, citing "cruel and inhuman treatment" as her grounds for the action against Charles, then 64. The divorce was granted, and Rika was free, so she took her younger children and moved on.
Charles remained on the farm, and in May 1918, he was found dead at his home. There was no mention of the cause of death. Perhaps life just wore him down.

5-Loxin® is a novel Boswellia serrata extract enriched with 30% 3-O-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), which exhibits potential anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme. A 90-day, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5-Loxin® in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
Seventy-five OA patients were included in the study. The patients received either 100 mg (n = 25) or 250 mg (n = 25) of 5-Loxin® daily or a placebo (n = 25) for 90 days. Each patient was evaluated for pain and physical functions by using the standard tools (visual analog scale, Lequesne's Functional Index, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) at the baseline (day 0), and at days 7, 30, 60 and 90. Additionally, the cartilage degrading enzyme matrix metalloproteinase-3 was also evaluated in synovial fluid from OA patients. Measurement of a battery of biochemical parameters in serum and haematological parameters, and urine analysis were performed to evaluate the safety of 5-Loxin® in OA patients.
Seventy patients completed the study. At the end of the study, both doses of 5-Loxin® conferred clinically and statistically significant improvements in pain scores and physical function scores in OA patients. Interestingly, significant improvements in pain score and functional ability were recorded in the treatment group supplemented with 250 mg 5-Loxin® as early as 7 days after the start of treatment. Corroborating the improvements in pain scores in treatment groups, we also noted significant reduction in synovial fluid matrix metalloproteinase-3. In comparison with placebo, the safety parameters were almost unchanged in the treatment groups.
5-Loxin® reduces pain and improves physical functioning significantly in OA patients; and it is safe for human consumption. 5-Loxin® may exert its beneficial effects by controlling inflammatory responses through reducing proinflammatory modulators, and it may improve joint health by reducing the enzymatic degradation of cartilage in OA patients.

Fast rise and even faster fall
India's stock market and Rupee growth has been fast and furious. The fall seems to come even faster.
I have been going gaga over the rise of Indian stock market as well as the rise of Rupee against dollar in the recent past. This blog has seen number of articles published previously on rupee fall and its repercussions for export oriented sectors like IT/ITES.
However the tide seems to be turning even faster. The stock market is plunging in big numbers every second day and the loosing streak does not seem to be ending. Indian stock market has come down to 15000 levels from high of more than 21000 levels in just 2 months.

In order to teach in Vermont's public schools, MATESOL students must concurrently pursue the ELL (English Language Learners) Initial Teacher Licensure Program, which is administered by the Graduate Education Program. The Licensure Program prepares students to teach ELL in public schools in Vermont at all levels. You may choose to pursue a license for PK-Grade 6, Grades 7-12, or PK-Grade 12.
A critical component of the Licensure Program is Practicum - performing student teaching in a local public school. Burlington's area schools provide a wide array of opportunities to teach ELL, with its high population of resettled families from all over the world.
In addition to student teaching, the Licensure Program requires the submission of a portfolio. Students will work closely with their advisors to ensure that their portfolios adequately demonstrate their knowledge, skills and experience in teaching English language learners.
Acceptance to the Master in TESOL degree program does not automatically ensure acceptance to the ELL Initial Teacher Licensure Program. You should apply to both the MATESOL degree program and the Graduate Education ELL Licensure Program concurrently. After acceptance to the Master in TESOL program, you will be contacted by an advisor from Graduate Education to set up an interview.

It was an amazing birthday weekend, as usual. I seem to get lucky in that department. It helps to surround yourself with awesome people. The rest of it seems to work itself out. I started Saturday with brunch at Radar with Andrew, my parents, my sister, and her fiancé. You know I love Radar. It's not a birthday without going there. I ordered the bubble and squeak. Again. Creature of habit. Roasted veggies in what's basically a mashed potato pancake and topped with mushroom gravy. It makes me hungry just thinking about it. That night some friends and I took over the new wine bar and bottleshop in the neighborhood, Spoke & Vine. It was glorious. They are only three months old, and have a great selection of affordable wine and snacks. It's always fun to get some of my favorite people in the same place.
Sunday was my actual birthday. It involved a trip to Pip's Original Doughnuts for a thai tea, fennel, and cardamom latte with almond milk and three of their made to order doughnuts — raw honey and sea salt, nutella and sea salt, and cinnamon sugar. There are about as many housemade chai varietals than there are doughnuts. The doughnuts are like little bites of fresh elephant ear. So, so good. Dinner was Toro Bravo with Andrew. Finally. That place still has a notorious wait years later, and you can't get reservations. We showed up five minutes before it opened to a small line formed already, but we were thankfully able to get into the first seating. It lives up to the hype. Easily one of my favorite meals in the city. I'm actually glad I waited to go until after I'd gone to Spain. I think I appreciate what they're doing so much more. It was a gorge session. Fried anchovies with fennel and lemon; sautéed chanterelles with cream on griddled bread; housemade chorizo and manchego; oxtail croquettes; jamon wrapped chicken; paella; churros and chocolate; cheese ice cream with berry compote; two bottles of wine. Happy birthday indeed.
These cookies were intense as must double-chocolate anything is. It's not technically two chocolates, but it is the same chocolate half melted into the dough and the other half chopped up and studded throughout. That said, you are using unsweetened chocolate. I splurged on some good stuff, and it was freakin' intense. I didn't chop up the chunks nearly small enough for my taste. You'd get a super bitter and intense pure chocolate hit out of nowhere. Maybe some people are into that, but I most definitely am not. They were pretty, though, and the dough was delicious. It was just those dang chunks. The salt and espresso powder are necessary. Don't skip! They stay gooey even long after they cool, which is exactly what I want in a cookie when I actually want a cookie.
Inspiration: Desserts for Breakfast
- 10oz good quality unsweetened chocolate, chopped about the size of chocolate chops
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, room temp
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons espresso powder
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- sea salt flakes for topping
Measure 6oz of the chopped chocolate and melt it in a double boiler or other favorite melting method with the coconut oil. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, bakng powder, and salt. In the bowl of a mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla extract for at least five minutes. The batter will be pale, light, and fluffy. Fold in the flour mixture and then the melted chocolate. Lastly add the chocolate chunks. Cover and chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350° when you're ready to bake. Line a cookie sheet or two and drop even tablespoons of batter on them. Space them out a fair amount as mine spread quite a bit. If they stick together, that's just one cookie. Sprinkle the dough with the sea salt flakes.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. They will still be pretty gooey, but they'll solidify as they cool. They'll maintain their soft texture this way.

Went Overboard Last Week? This Detox Soup Is Your Savior
Let's face it: You're busy — too busy to mess around with complicated cooking at the end of the day. Still, dinner should be more than just a cup full of cereal and the dream of a brighter tomorrow. Enter: Jenny Rosenstrach, a busy mom who makes dinner happen with style, simplicity, and just the right amount of sizzle. Whether or not you're cooking for kids, we love her easy, delicious approach. In fact, we love it so much, we'll be sharing one of her recipes every week, so you can have a life — and a REALLY good meal, too.
Not sure if you've noticed, but we've been doing a lot of eating in my house lately — and while we always try to keep it relatively artery-friendly, we frequently hit stretches where this is impossible. This past week, for instance, there was the burgers-and-dogs barbecue at a friend's house, the baked-good bacchanalia during the ballet recital intermission, then Andy's business dinner at a downtown restaurant that proved to be a five-course ode to butter and cream. This is usually the time we break out our Detox Soup, made in a blender from all things green, and perfect for a night when you don't want to turn on the stove.
RELATED: The BEST Minestrone Recipe. Ever.
The kids don't love the soup as much as we do so we present them with a mini serving and provide cucumber slices and mini whole wheat pitas (no spoon) so they think of it more as a dip than as a soup.
Avocado & Cucumber Soup (aka "Detox Soup")
1 cucumber (peeled and cubed)
2 avocados (1 pitted and peeled, 1 cut into chunks)
1 cup buttermilk
Juice of 1 lime
1 small jalapeno chili, minced (remove seeds if your kids do not like heat)
5 scallions (white parts only) sliced (or 1/2 small shallot)
2 tablespoons cilantro (plus more for garnish)
Salt and pepper
In a blender, combine half the cucumber, the pitted and peeled avocado, buttermilk, lime juice, jalapeno, scallions, cilantro, salt and pepper, and about 3/4 cup of cold water. Puree until smooth, adding more water if necessary until it reaches a creamy, but not gloppy consistency. Stir in remaining avocado and cucumber pieces and chill for as long as you can, try to make it at least 30 minutes. Garnish with cilantro when you serve.

This is a themed park with
a difference because it offers the unique attraction of
a hot spring which is known as the Pedas Hot Springs, which pouts streaming hot water believed
to have medicinal properties. Suitable for all age
groups, it provides various recreational facilities for
children as well as adults, complete with a water
playground and a man-made pool. It has since become a
major tourist destination in this Pedas village.
Located approximately 15
km or about 30-minute drive from Seremban, the resort has a
fast food restaurant and a souvenir shop and facilities
such as bathing sheds and toilets are provided.

Graduate Group Affiliations
Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics
Gideon Dreyfuss, Ph.D.
Isaac Norris Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics
Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator
328 Clinical Research Building
415 Curie Blvd.
Philadelphia, PA 19104-6148
Ph.D. Harvard University (1978) Biological Chemistry
The research efforts of the Dreyfuss laboratory are presently focused on three interrelated topics:
The structure and function of the major pre-mRNA-binding proteins (hnRNPs) and mRNA-binding proteins (mRNPs), with particular focus on the role of these proteins in the formation and function of mRNA. The significance of these proteins is that they influence the structure and interactions of pre-mRNAs and, therefore, their fate and processing into mRNAs. They also appear to function in mRNA nuclear export. Many of these proteins have been identified and studied in this laboratory, and this effort continues.
The transport of proteins and RNAs between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The Dreyfuss lab found that while some hnRNP proteins are confined to the nucleus, many others shuttle continuously between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The shuttling hnRNP proteins likely have a role in the export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The sequences in the proteins that mediate their localization and transport, the cellular machineries involved, and their role in mRNA nuclear export have been characterized and specific nuclear export and import factors are being studied.
The molecular function of SMN (Survival of Motor Neurons), the protein product of the Spinal Muscular Atrophy disease gene, and the function of Gems: a novel nuclear structure containing the SMN protein. The Dreyfuss lab found a major nuclear structure that contains the SMN protein (the disease gene of Spinal Muscular Atrophy). It appears to have an important role in RNA polymerase II gene expression pathway. The lab recently found the molecular function of the SMN protein. It, together with a protein they call SIP1, is an essential spliceosomal snRNP assembly factor.

O That Truth.
All i said was there are a few silly people here posting insulting comments against Stoner.But the people who post them,complain about comments made about their favourite rider.People in glass houses etc.
I also suggested that some people may be happy to see Stoner retire because he keeps beating their favourite rider.A fairly accurate statement i think.

The Can-Am Spyder ("Spyder") is a three-wheeled motorcycle manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products.[1] The vehicle has a single rear drive wheel and two wheels in front for steering, similar in layout to a modern snowmobile. The Spyder uses an ATV-like chassis. The manufacturer refers to it as a "roadster," but in technical terms it is more of what has been traditionally called a trike. The Spyder was officially launched in February 2007.[2]
By October 2007, approximately 2,500 units had been sold.[3] By May 2009, 12,500 Spyders (9,932 of them sold in the United States) had been manufactured.[4] Approximately 21 percent of its sales are to women.[5] In addition, some 27 percent of Spyder owners have never previously owned a motorcycle.[6]
The Spyder has traction and stability control, and antilock brakes.[7] In most US states the Spyder is licensed as a motorcycle. In California and Delaware only a regular driver's license is required—however, helmet laws apply in California as they do for all motorcyclists.
There is a luggage space under a "hood" at the front of the vehicle (known by riders as the "frunk"). Saddle bags,[8] top boxes and other accessories for the Spyder are also available.
The Spyder also has front and rear brakes which are both actuated by the same foot pedal, a reverse gear, power steering and an optional electric shift (clutchless) transmission.[9]
There are four different types of Spyder:
- The Spyder RS series is a sports version. The styling and seat position is more like a conventional sport bike
- The Spyder ST series is a sports-touring hybrid version, with an upright seat and removable saddlebags. This could be compared to a Sport touring motorcycle
- The Spyder RT series is a touring version, with integrated saddlebags and top case. This could be compared to a Touring motorcycle
- The Spyder F3 series is a "sport-cruising" version, with feet-forward upright seating, and a 1300 cc engine. This could be compared to a Cruiser (motorcycle).
(All four types sport the front trunk, or "frunk".)
Types of transmission[edit]
|This section contains content that is written like an advertisement. (July 2009)
Spyder SM5 The SM5 is a manual 5-speed transmission with the standard motorcycle left-foot-actuated shifter and left-hand-actuated clutch. It is a one-down-four-up system with real reverse.[7]
Spyder SE5 The SE5 is a semi-automatic transmission, which shifts sequentially 1-2-3-4-5 and 5-4-3-2-1. There is no foot shifter. Instead, a paddle-shifter located below the left hand-grip is used to up-shift and down-shift. Simply use your thumb to push the paddle forward to up-shift, and use your index finger to pull the paddle backward to down-shift. Note the Spyder's computer will automatically down-shift for you when the engine speed drops below 2,500 RPM. To engage Reverse, pull the paddle backward and press the R (Reverse) button.[10]

Texas Rangers alter Holland's schedule
Left-hander Derek Holland returned to the Texas Rangers' spring-training base in Surprise, Ariz., on Sunday after a two-week stay with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
Holland was struck by what Team USA officials believe was food poisoning in his final days away from the Rangers. He will be examined on Monday by team internist Dr. David S. Hunter.
Holland is scheduled to pitch in against San Diego minor-leaguers on Tuesday, one day earlier than previously scheduled. By moving up Holland one day, he is on line to start at Houston on April 3 in the third game of the season.

On Target: Proper ammo use necessary
My prior articles covered the three fundamental rules of firearm safety (i.e., always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction; always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot and always keep the firearm unloaded until ready to use). Also, we covered other gun safety rules (i.e., know your target and what is beyond; know how to use the gun safely and be sure your gun is safe to operate.). (Rule source: NRA).
Today, we cover the additional gun safety rule — use only the correct ammunition for the gun.
How do you know what ammunition is proper for your firearm? Do a basic safety check.
Most firearms will have the ammunition type stamped on the barrel, frame or slide (e.g., .22 Cal. Long Rifle; .380 Auto; .38 SPL; .38 SPL+P; .40; .44 SPL; .357 Magnum, .45 Auto, etc.). Next, the box or carton containing the ammunition you purchase from your firearms dealer will have the type of ammunition marked on it. Lastly, most center-fire cartridges will have a "headstamp" on the base of the cartridge around the primer showing the cartridge designation. When ammunition is designated +P (Plus P) or +P+ (Plus P Plus), that means that such are higher pressure cartridges and should only be fired in firearms designed for such higher pressures.
For your safety, it is critical that you fire only the proper ammunition in your firearm. Check your pistol or firearm owner's manual. If you have questions, then consult the gun manufacturer or a knowledgeable person. Serious injury may result if you use the wrong ammunition. Just because the cartridge "fits" into the gun doesn't mean it is safe to fire in that firearm. If there is any question, then don't use the ammunition.
Also, use factory ammunition and don't use reloaded ammunition. Unless the person who reloads the ammunition has procedures in place to make certain that the loads are proper, injury may result. For example, in one instance a person reloaded some .45 Auto ammunition for his friend, but had put too much powder in the cartridge. The excessive powder resulted in the gun blowing up in the shooter's hand. A piece of metal was embedded in the shooter's face. Fortunately, there was no permanent injury — the shooter was wearing eye protection, and no fingers were lost.
Ammunition should generally be stored separately from firearms in a cool, dry area. It should not be accessible to unauthorized people (especially children). Keep the ammunition in the factory box or carton so that it can be properly identified. Extreme high temperatures (e.g., such as those found in the attic or car trunk) should be avoided.
You should wipe your fingerprints from ammunition as the acids, chemicals and salts from fingerprints can result in corrosion. Also, storing ammunition in leather cartridge belts can result in corrosion due to the acids in the leather. Don't submerge your ammunition in water, or expose it to solvents, petroleum products (including gun oil) or other chemicals. Water may penetrate a cartridge and cause the primer and/or powder to deteriorate.
The above is merely an introductory article and is not a substitute for taking a firearm safety and training course.

Chapter One: Melissa
"The Team are here, I can't hold them off!"
The second I hear father's voice in my head, I start running. I just shoot out of my desk, with my teacher midway through one of his long speeches, and rush out of the class. I hear Mr. Francis trying to call me back, with threats of telling the principle, a phone call home, or suspension, but that has to be the last of my worries.
Father is in trouble. And I can't waste my time in a history lesson.
"You'll have to try!" The thought just swims around in the forefront of my mind, waiting for father to pick it up, and send something back; an update on how he's managing the so-called heroes, maybe. I force my feet to move as fast as they can, as I push the school gates open, with my mind. That short sprint already has me panting, with my heart racing, and I just lean on the pole that I locked my bicycle to, for a moment. A very short moment, because I cannot afford to waste any time; father cannot afford for me to waste time! I pull the key out from my jacket pocket, and attempt to unlock the bike lock, frantically, dropping it, not once, but twice.
Stop panicking! Stop panicking! Stop panicking! It's all that I can think, and it far from helps. When I get a hold of myself, and finally do unlock my bicycle, I pull my jacket off, tie it around my waist, and start pedalling like it's the only thing I know how to do.
"Melissa, you're psychokinetic," father sends to me.
For a good few seconds, my mind goes blank, having no idea what he means, but when my legs begin to feel the burn of the heavy pedalling, a light bulb clicks.
"Thanks!" I lift my feet off the pedals, and bring my knees up to my chest, wrapping my arms around them. I simply let my mind, which is far more powerful than my body, do the work. The difference is hugely noticeable, and I effortlessly weave in and around all the pedestrians, quickly trying to finish the one mile ride home. I couldn't care less about all the people who call out to me, or the people who honk their horns, as I ride from the pavement, across the road, onto the pavement again, and across the road again.
Even considering the circumstances, it amuses me how father still feels the need to warn me of how dangerously I'm riding. Then again, I don't appreciate the blatant invasion of my privacy. Strangely enough, I find it far more uncomfortable when he looks through my eyes, not through my mind.
"I'm almost there. What's going on?"
"I can only keep them busy for so long. But Night Drone isn't making it easy. I didn't bloody know he could block me out of his mind!"
Neither did I… Night Drone, a hero who could control everything to do with sleep, including people's dreams. I knew he could manipulate people's dreams and nightmare's, getting into people's heads, but I never knew that he also had a psychic block.
"Turn them on each other. Make them all go after Night Drone." Father never was good with using his commonsense.
"No need. They're all out cold, living in a nightmare… apart from Night Drone. How can he be blocking me?"
Well, I stand corrected. I don't answer his question, because I don't feel like I really need to. He's not that stupid.
Above me, I can hear the sound of sirens. I look up, and sure enough, the hover cars are making way for the hover police cars, driving above those of us who do not have hundreds of thousands of pounds to throw away. But more importantly, back down on the ground, the road ahead is blocked off with police barricades.
"Is the police there with you?" I ask, as I force back the barricades. The police seem to think that whenever a "battle" between vigilantes and villains break out, they need to block off all surrounding blocks. It is utterly ridiculous. My father is not even dangerous. For the most part, it's the heroes who put people in danger.
"No, but I can hear the sirens. They're waiting outside for The Team to finish the job." He sends his dark laugh through my head. "The idiots."
I smile as I finally turn onto my road.
"Hey! You can't be here!" one of the officers shouts at me. I simply ignore all the angry officers shouting at me, and push all the police cars out of my way, as I ride down the road. It's funny how a bunch of fully grown police officers can't even handle a psychokinetic teenager. Some of them attempt to run out of the way of the cars, most of them fail. The ones who are actually inside the cars-well, I'm sure that they won't be screaming any time soon, with the way the cars slam into the houses.
Some of them are still standing, and have their guns pointed at me, but I just push them away, too, into the brick walls of the houses.
I jump off the bicycle, and run to my house. "I'm here, father. Don't worry." As I run up to my home, I'm not given a good impression of how things have turned out; the roof has collapsed in on the top floor, if you can even call it the top floor, anymore. I continue forward, though, not even trying to bother with the intricacy of the lock system, and just force the door open, blowing it off it's hinges.
There are dead bodies all over the entrance hall. I don't panic, because I know none of them are father. They're only his men. Stepping over them, I glance around, and it looks as if all the world's natural disasters happened in here, at once. Not such an unlikely scenario, considering one of my father's men could control the elements. If he survived, I'm sure father would kill him, himself, for wrecking the house. The floor has literally opened up, revealing a crevice full of wet dirt. The carpet is damp, and squelches beneath my feet. And everything else in the entrance hall is all burnt, our bookshelf, with all the books on them, our wall, with all the photographs on them. Everything.
"Father!" I shout, not caring about the four 'heroes' trespassing in my home. As long as he's alright, then The Team is only a minor inconvenience.
"Who's that?" A male voice asks, from the main room. I run in there, to find my carpeted floor swamped with the motionless bodies of three of the four members of The Team. The fourth one, standing tall, in front of them, protecting them.
"Who are you? How did you get past the police?" the man says in an emotionless voice, with a face to match.
He's dressed strangely for someone who is supposed to be hunting villains. Then again, I guess all heroes have their own ridiculous style. With his suspender trousers, white shirt and tie, all he needs is a suit, and you would think that he's some office clerk; but with the unnecessary addition of his sunglasses you would guess that he's in some secret government agency, and not a member of a vigilante team.
"I asked you a question," he says, still with a flat monotone.
I don't answer, because he is irrelevant. I have always loved my side-ability, if you could even call it that. I may even think it's more powerful than my main ability. Being able to negate other peoples abilities definitely has its benefits.
"Hello Night Drone." I look around the main room. No sign of my father. But what I do see only justifies my view on these 'heroes'. Apart from the obvious wrecked furniture, there is a huge hole in the ceiling, with water dripping down it. It looks as if it's crumbling by the second, and the creaking sound that I am hearing from it is not exactly heartening. It could fall on us at any moment, so I reinforce it with my mind, not much, because I don't want all my attention to be set on keeping my home from crumbling. They may not have done this, but they are the cause. My gaze settles back on the dark-haired man. "You wouldn't by any chance have the decency to tell me where my father is, would you?"
I stay perfectly calm, even though the three other trespassers start to rouse; because with me here, that means wherever my father is, his ability won't work on them.
The reaction these heroes give, when they find out my father is actually a father, never ceases to make me smile. Of course, there is a reason why it has never been made public. One, because all the heroes that have found out that I'm the daughter of Anthony Cole, one of the country's most infamous villains, have never had the opportunity to even process that information, themselves, before being quickly taken care of. And two, I cannot even begin to imagine how awkward that would make my school life.
"Yes. My father." I nod at the gaping man. "You wouldn't know where he is, by any chance, would you?"
The other three heroes start to get up, first, on all fours, and then they stand. They look around, as if they all just woke up from an amazingly realistic dream, and they finally settle on the girl standing in front of them, with her hands linked behind her back and eyebrows raised, me.
"Hello Team. Or do you prefer me to say, hello The Team." I frown, slightly, as I say it. "Might I just say, you four really need a name change. 'The Team' isn't exactly that original, nor does it exactly roll of the tongue, you know?"
They all merely stare at me, mostly very confused. Except, of course, for the woman, who looks me up and down with such displeasure, that I can't resist addressing her.
"Sentient, it's a pleasure to meet you." Sentient being her alias, because she can create sentient beings out of the darkness, as well as using the darkness for other purposes. "I must say, though, it's not just a pleasure to meet you, but also to finally meet a good female role model for us young girls. Losing your temper at the most trivial things and acting like a spoilt brat? I'm glad little girls look up to someone like you." I finish with a smile.
I have to resist the urge to laugh when I notice her fingers stray over the throwing knives on her belt.
"Who the hell is this? Where's Anthony?" She starts to walk forward. She only manages to put one foot forward, though, before I stop her, and make her, unwillingly, step right back.
"What the fu-"
"You know, I don't appreciate trespassers in my home," I say, glaring at each and every one of them. Staying on the wide-eyed Sentient, the longest. "Especially not filth like you so-called heroes."
"Who are you?" one of the other men asks, who I instantly identify as Infinite. There is no missing those bright turquoise eyes of his. Call me a hypocrite, but in my bedroom there is a poster of Infinite, covering my door. He's one of the few heroes that I will admit is hot. It is a shame that he's with that temperamental bitc-woman.
"Looks like you've got yourself another admirer Damon," the last man says, brushing himself down.
I instantly look away from Infinite, or Damon, as the fourth hero said, and glare at the final member, unaware that I was staring. Of course their parents' weren't stupid enough to give their children such ridiculous names. I would love to say that the rest of the world isn't that stupid, either…
Where Sentient and Infinite are wearing what seems to be a team uniform, of sorts-black cargo trousers, and a black jacket, Sentient with a black tank top, and Infinite with a black T-shirt-the final member Steel Wing feels the need to scrap the shirt and run around with his dark-skinned chest on show for the world to see. I guess it is sort of fitting, considering his ability to morph into birds. No prizes in guessing what their team colours are.
As much as I hate infinite the least, I still try to address his question as coldly as I can. "Are you really that stupid? This is my home. Take a wild guess."
Out of the corner of my eye, I notice a slight movement in the dining room, and when I pay more attention to my peripherals, I notice that it's father, creeping around the dinner table.
"We don't have time for this," Sentient says, reaching for a knife on her belt, she pulls it out, and when I look up from it, to her, she's glaring right back into my eyes.
"Erin, she's only a teenager!" Infinite says, snatching the knife out of her hands.
"Not that I need your help," I say, smiling at him, "but thank you." I always did like him.
Another silence follows, and I just rock back and forth on the balls of me feet, whistling an improvised tune to myself.
"What are we doing?" Erin shouts out. I don't jump at it, but everyone else does. I even think I see my father jump, a bit, out of the corner of my eye. "Jon, just make her sleep, then, and we can do what we came here to do."
Everyone turns to Night Drone, who is still staring at me in disbelief. He shakes it off, though. "Yes, of course," he says, as if it's going to be that simple.
I just examine my nails, while he fails at using his ability, frowning at how dirty they've gotten. I sigh at the futility of his effort. It's not even funny anymore. It's just pathetic, really, that these high profile heroes can't even handle a seventeen-year-old girl. Glancing up, I see him scrunch up his face, and I merely raise an eyebrow at him.
"Are you quite done?"
Of all the things that he would do, he actually takes a step back, his mouth seeming only to know how to gape at me.
"My ability…"
"Not working, is it? I imagine that must be quite frustrating. Does anyone else want to try?"
And sure enough, I watch them all concentrate, as they attempt their abilities. Sentient even goes as far as extending her hands out at me. Infinite, being a replicator, puts the knife he stole from Sentient in his palm, and tries to make a copy in his other hand. He fails, of course.
"Okay, well that was pointless," I say, putting my hands in my pockets. "I guess it's my turn to try."
A smile breaks out on my face, as they all rise a couple of feet off of the ground. They always try to struggle. Father finally makes himself known, and he comes out of his hiding place, joining my side, chuckling to himself.
"That's my girl." He places his hands on my shoulders, and the two of us watch the heroes struggling in the air.
"How the hell could a scumbag like you even have a child?" Sentient asks.
I don't even let my dad answer. I point my hand at her, and she rises up higher than the rest. She rotates, so that she's levitating horizontally in the air, her wispy black hair hanging over her pasty face.
"Let me go!" She grunts, and I can feel her struggling against my mind, not that it's going to be anywhere near enough for me to put much effort in. With a simple thought I could slam her through the ceiling, and with another thought, I could bring her crashing down, face first. So tempting.
"What's your name?" Infinite asks me.
I don't want to split my attention. I want to just end this woman now, but I turn to him. "Melissa," I tell him. I know it's not wise to tell them my name, but considering that they're all going to die soon, I figure that it doesn't really matter.
"Well, Melissa, do you really want to go down this path." I almost roll my eyes at that line. He doesn't seriously think he can talk himself out of this, does he? "You're only… a teenager. You've got your whole life ahead of you. Turning that life into a life of villainy-it's not something that you should willingly walk into."
I give him a warm smile, and lower him back down to the ground, although, still in my control. "It's a shame you associated yourself with filth. I really don't want to hurt you, Infinite."
"You don't have to. Let us go, and I promise we'll leave you and your dad."
I tilt my head, a little, to the side, narrowing my eyes, and opening my mouth to say something, but not knowing what to say. I glance up at my father, and he looks down at me, shaking his head. That's all I need from him. I turn back to Infinite.
"And why should I believe you? I can't exactly trust any of you, can I?"
"Well, you should." He smiles back at me, and I find myself blushing, and looking away. "After all, we are the heroes. We're not going to intentionally orphan a young girl, are we?"
Father squeezes my shoulders, prompting me to wrap this up. I remove them from my shoulders, though. Thinking, actually taking the time to think, albeit for a very brief moment, I realise that I'm only doing this to protect him. If they won't harm him, then killing them would be unnecessary.
"And you won't ever come back?"
What am I saying, though? I am not like them. They tried to kill my father. They know that I'm his daughter. I told them my name, for god sake!
"We won't come back."
But this seems like such a reasonable proposition.
"You won't tell anyone I'm his daughter."
What am I doing? I should kill them all now. I shouldn't stall any longer. Father keeps squeezing my shoulder, and I know that I should listen to him.
"I'll make sure none of us do."
All these thoughts though, and I still find myself just staring at Infinite, wondering if I have become crazy, as I seriously consider letting them go.
"If any of you come back, I won't be so hesitant to kill you."
"Melissa? What are you doing?" father asks me, his disbelief obvious. "You can't make a deal with filth like them. You can't trust a word they say."
"I think you should let you daughter decide what's the best decision, Anthony."
What is the best decision, though? They broke into my home, caused it to become pile of wreckage. They were trying to kill my father! Why am I even considering this? I should just tell him to shut up, kill him, and be done with this!
My thoughts scream at me to do the smart thing, and kill them, but I can't. It's not particularly hard, but I just… don't want to? I find myself slowly releasing Infinite. I don't look up, especially not at father. I can only imagine how disappointing this must be for him.
The other two men drop the few feet back to the floor, stumbling for their balance, while Sentient falls the few feet, face first, back to the floor. The short scream that she gives, is hilarious, and I laugh as she picks herself up off the floor, glaring right at me.
"If I had my way…" she mumbles under her breath.
"You know the way out. Try not to trip over the bodies."
Infinite is the first to make a move. I can't help but cringe slightly, as he brushes past me. After all, he is still a hero. "Come on guys," he says.
None of them move, though. Night Drone and Steel Wing just look at each other. Sentient clenches her fists, still glaring right at me.
"Damon, you are not being serious," the brat says. "This is Anthony Cole. One of the country's top ten notorious villains."
"Yes." Infinite steps back into the room. "And this is his daughter, who we're not going to orphan, am I clear." His voice takes on a tone of authority, and with a stern gaze, he tries to stare down his girlfriend. "You know I don't like ordering you, but Erin, this is an order. We are going, now."
The two other men follow the order, instantly. The stubborn woman, however, takes her time, slowly walking up to… me. She doesn't tower over me, but she still bends down, a little bit, to my level. For what must be the first time ever, she actually smiles smugly at me. If she wasn't already a hero, she would make one terrifying villain. The way she glares at me, with her unblinking, silvery grey eyes, it is as if she is trying to see if she could make me burst into flames. I shouldn't be scared of her, but I find myself struggling to keep her gaze, and hold my ground.
"Little girl, you have no idea who you are pissing off," she whispers harshly at me.
"Neither do you." I silently curse myself, at how uneven my voice sounds. I can't let her get to me. I have to at least have this small victory.
She looks away for a brief moment, shaking her head. "You know, I'm not going to regret this one bit. Sorry Damon, but this is what we came here to do."
It takes me far too long to process what had just been said. It is as if I just shut myself down, as she says those words. She doesn't look away from me, not even for a second, not even when she brings her hand forward, over my head, so quickly, that I can't make out what she's holding, not even when father cries out, and not even when she pulls her hand back, and I see in her hand a black metallic knife, covered in blood.

Brent Stockstill, left, his father and MTSU coach Rick Stockstill, mother Sara and sister Emily are excited about the Siegel quarterback signing with Cincinnati today.
- Filed Under
Rick Stockstill remembers the mornings when son Brent Stockstill grabbed a football or baseball and went in the backyard to throw with his father.
It often took place 30 minutes before Brent Stockstill had to be at school. But he still wanted a few minutes of throwing the ball with his father, working on his game.
"We'd go throw the ball before school started," said Rick Stockstill, who is the MTSU football coach. "He's always been a very hardworking, committed and dedicated kid that has stayed very focused on his goal." ...

1. Slow Start: Texas entered its game against Kansas as 28-point favorites at home. But like the schools' late-arriving fans, it took a while for the Longhorns to get going against the Jayhawks.
Texas failed to score in the first quarter. And outside of a penalty-aided long drive near the end of the frame, looked lethargic on offense. Quarterback Case McCoy didn't look sharp, and Texas compiled only 117 yards of offense,
Texas' defense didn't provide a sparkling performance either, despite the goose egg on the scoreboard. Kansas ran the ball effectively, and the Longhorn defense was fooled on a number of screen attempts. But a missed Kansas field goal on its first drive kept the game square entering the second quarter, when Texas quickly scored thanks to a Malcolm Brown rushing touchdown.
2. McCoy to Shipley magic: Texas fans are used to the McCoy to Shipley combination. They heard it for years with Colt to Jordan, but Case to Jaxon shouldn't be overlooked in McCoy to Shipley combination rankings. The pair always seem to find away to hookup on the field when Texas really needs a first down.
Texas' offense struggled in the first half, but when the Longhorns were in third-down situations McCoy almost always found Shipley. The pair connected three times to extend drives in the first half, with Shipley reeling in four passes for 62 yards.
It may not be on the same level as Colt-Jordan, but the little brother combination is making waves in Austin.
3. What can Brown do for you? Johnathan Gray got all the early season attention in Texas' backfield, but it's Brown who's gotten all the touchdowns.
In Texas' last two games Brown has punched the ball in six times, including four scores Saturday, taking the majority of the team's goal-line carries. It's a role Joe Bergeron dominated last season, but his early season fumble issues seems to have given Brown the job.
The junior back has also been a solid complementary option to Gray, frequently alternating carries with the sophomore feature back. Brown totaled 290 yards in his last three games after only 63 in Texas' first five contests.
4. Chris Whaley score again: Chris Whaley entered Texas as a 4-star recruit at running back. He will probably leave Austin as NFL defensive tackle. But the 6-foot-3, 295-pound force is making sure he'll still get the touchdowns he expected early in his career.
Whaley made the switch to defensive tackle his sophomore year, and hadn't really touched the ball since. But it's been different this season. Whaley turned a Blake Bell pass into a pick-6 against Oklahoma, and managed to score again against Kansas in the third quarter of Saturday's game.
Defensive end Cedric Reed tore through the Kansas offensive line and delivered a huge blow on quarterback Jake Heaps, forcing the fumble. Whaley quickly pounced on the ball, and despite his size, broke away to coast into the end zone. With his second touchdown of the year Whaley has as many TDs as Shipley and Bergeron combined.
The touchdown caused a huge momentum swing. Before Whaley's touchdown Texas held a slim 14-6 lead with Kansas pushing the ball close to Longhorn territory. After, the Longhorns reeled off a 21-0 run, burying the Jayhawks along the way.
5. Texas survives despite lackluster performance: It's tough to tell on the scoreboard, but Texas played terrible against Kansas Saturday. The offense bordered on lethargic, the defense bent and penalties and minor miscues plagued the team the entire day.
McCoy and the Texas offense stalled for much of the game against a defense ranked 101st in the FBS entering the game. The defense played better, but too often Kansas created opportunistic drives, only to stall in Longhorn territory. The bend-but-not-break mentality will work against the Jayhawks, but not when the Longhorns play Oklahoma State, Texas Tech or Baylor.
Texas benefited greatly from missed field goals, bad breaks for Kansas and Jayhawk penalties to emerge with the win.
A win is a win, but the multitude of errors committed by Texas Saturday wouldn't equal the same result against any other team but Kansas.

By Staff
Eastside Baby Corner's third annual Pants Party collection event is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 8 at its wareouse, 1510 N.W. Maple St.
Last year, the organization, which distributes almost everything needy children need from birth to age 12, collected 1,000 pairs of pants. This year, the goal is 2,000.
The community is encouraged to donate new or gently used pants for children, sizes 5 to14.

Relying almost exclusively on volunteers, Eastside Baby Corner takes donations of children's clothing and goods from the community and supplements donations with purchases of the absolute essentials for children: baby food, formula, car seats, port-a-cribs and diapers.
Eastside Baby Corner annually distributes more than 40,000 items for kids from birth to age 12 directly to nearly every agency serving families in East King County. Founded by pediatric nurse practitioner Karen Ridlon in 1990, Eastside Baby Corner helps more than 500 children each week.
