April 19, 2011 -- Secretary of the Army remarks at the VMI Marshall Awards
April 29, 2011
By Secretary of the Army John McHugh
This is a day of first for me. I am a recovering politician. I was in politics for 40 years. I've spoken in a lot of places. But a place of worship has never been one of them, so that's a first. Usually that happens to people after they hear me speak, not before. I'm honored by this opportunity and let me say to General Cody, or as I always call him, Vice.
Sir, thank you for your mostly accurate introduction. I am not sure everything nice he said about me is warranted, but I deeply appreciate it. I have had a lot of opportunity in my 17 years on the House Armed Services Committee to work with General Cody, most of which occurred during his tenure as Vice Chief of Staff. He did a lot of good things, and earned a reputation, and deservedly so, as being one of the most active and proactive vice chiefs of staff we've ever had. I learned a lot from him and benefited greatly from the things he did. He continues, even after 36 years in uniform, he continues to contribute, as his activities here in support of this great program so directly attest to. So Dick, thank you so much for all you do and all you continue to do.
And obviously I want to thank the Marshall Foundation. Known for certainly this program. The great opportunity it provides to bring these tremendous leaders of the Army tomorrow together; but of course beyond that, for the great things you do each and every day; and the remembrance and teaching the history of one of the most amazing men that ever walked the face of the earth in my humble opinion; and helping all of us learn the lessons looking at his life and his contributions can bring to us.
Let me say to the Cadets, you are blessed and special, maybe not in that order. I want to congratulate you for just being selected to be part of this incredible program. I assume and I hope you know the high honor that has been placed upon you to come to this revered place, this place where history is just seething - that you can feel it and to think about all that has gone on before, the military history and the political history in this country, and how you are poised to make similar history in the future.
Now I've seen the schedule that you've gone through, and I think it's fair to say it's you've been on a pretty whirlwind pace and you've heard from a lot of leaders talking to you about their perspectives, talking about how they look at and view the Army today and maybe to a certain extent, judge the Army of tomorrow.
And I don't always value each of them, but I just want to tell you how really happy I am you had a chance to hear from our brand new Chief of Staff of the Army. General Dempsey is on his way - he's probably there now, down range in the theatre, a place where he served as a Combat Division Commander with such honor and distinction. And it was with great pride that I had the chance just last week to swear him in as the 37th Chief of Staff of the United States Army.
I'm going to venture in to the understatement area and say that General Marty Dempsey's credentials to be our Chief of Staff, to put it mildly, are impressive. He has a career-long, deserved reputation as being a creative thinker, a thoughtful leader. He's a consummate problem solver at a time when we have some problems that need to be solved. And I am looking forward so much to working together with him to look at and hopefully overcome the challenges that this Army, your Army, faces in the days and weeks and months ahead. Having said all those nice things, I will make one observation I know he, General Dempsey is a West Point graduate. I don't want anybody to be worried about that because the previous two chiefs of Staff, General Casey and General Schoomaker were ROTC candidates. So it was time to throw West Point aboard, (correction) a bone, right' General Dave Huntoon, your superintendant, a great leader, and former director of the Army staff, all in good fun too, all in good fun. Ladies and Gentlemen, Maj. Gen. Mark McDonald, our Cadet Commander, thank you both for helping shape our leaders of tomorrow and the future.
But we are at West Point of sorts. This is West Point of the South, here at VMI. But most importantly for this event, the Alma Mater, of a truly great American, George C. Marshall, one of the, I'd say, greatest military leaders, not only in our nation, but I would argue, in the history of the world; and the man that Winston Churchill dubbed the "organizer of victory". And if you know the history of that, Winston Churchill and George Marshall didn't always agree on everything. But the fact that such a great leader like Winston Churchill recognized the contributions, the great achievements of George Marshall is high testament indeed.
And this event, this seminar - this series of programs that you're in is a testament to Marshall himself and I would argue most importantly in his belief, his lifelong commitment to the creed that education and study is a means by which to advance ourselves intellectually but also through the national security and military preparedness channels as well. And I'd just cite to you a speech he made before the American Historical Association. It was just a few years before the United States entered into World War II, when he declared that understanding and appreciating world history was as he put it "important to a sound view regarding military policy, but even more importantly, he said, "are the lessons of history."
See Marshall cautioned that historians have been more inclined to record the victories and the glories and they overlook what he called wasteful sacrifices. He noted few Americans have ever learned that this nation employed over 400,000 men in the Revolutionary War to defeat an enemy of 45,000. Or, he said that we employed a half a million to fight the War of 1812 against an opponent whose strength never exceeded 16,000 in any one place. Now Marshall's point, it seems to me, wasn't to denigrate the incredible efforts of the Revolutionary War or the struggle of the War of 1812, the struggles or the glory and the sacrifice of seminal conflicts of American history, but rather to use them to as a lesson; to say from every victory, there are lessons that are equally important to learn that may not be on the front page of the newspapers, that may not be in the first chapter of the history book. And it seems to me that that lesson holds value even today, and it relates a little bit to what I'd like to talk to you about in the time you've so graciously given me.
Over the last 19 months roughly, in the time that I've been the Secretary of the Army, I've made it a point everywhere I go to visit with Soldiers and their families across the Army, whether they are deployed, whether they serve in the camps and posts and stations, located across this great, prudent plain, and the one thing that I've heard consistently in recent months is the question: What is my future in the United States Army' And if it isn't that, the question takes a little bit of a different attack and asks: What is the future of the United States Army itself'
See, Soldiers listen. And they are listening now and they're hearing things that cause them concern: things like the draw down in Iraq, things like the planned phase out in Afghanistan. The uncertainty, the uncertainty (repeated) of the economy all of us live in, the tightening of budgets that you all have heard about, and that we're going to continue to hear about for the foreseeable future. And that's weighing on a lot of our Soldiers, a lot of their families and probably a lot of you to ask, not only if they want to continue to serve, but if they will be able to serve even if they wish to. Because those Soldiers, again perhaps like some of you, volunteer to serve our country in a time of war.
Now, to me that says a lot about you as individuals. It talks about your character, it talk about your character (repeated) and courage. It tells me you are exactly the kind of people we need and we want to have to win the conflicts yes, of today but to prepare more effectively for tomorrow and the uncertain future that those Soldiers are talking about.
Now some facts: in Iraq and Afghanistan right now the United States Army has provided authorities and flexibilities to our young Officers in a way that is unprecedented. And they have responded brilliantly. Whether they are forward in Iraq or Afghanistan, today's 03s and 04s are making split decisions on the battlefields that in the past, and not so distant past, were reserved principally for 06s, and sometimes even Brigadiers.
So the question that we, your senior leadership, are asking ourselves is: how do we keep those great young leaders today out there making such weighty decisions and exercising that authority, how do we keep them interested in the Army, especially when they come home, away from the conflict of today and into an era of what we understand in all likelihood will be of significant constrained resources' They fear, that just as has happened historically, as Marshall would question and challenge us to do in the past, that we'll slash budgets, we'll cut procurements. We won't buy the equipment that we need. We'll devastate end strength; we'll create what has now become the proverbially hollow force.
So what do we do about that' Because those realities are out there. Well obviously those answers are not simple, and obviously those are things we're looking at very hard. But I think there's some things that are self evident.
First and foremost, especially as we consider the future for leaders like yourselves, we have to reaffirm our ongoing commitment to leader development. And that means opportunities for education and training that probably haven't been available to many Soldiers in the current fight. And when they were available, a lot of Soldiers were bypassing them because they have not been seen as a path to promotion. We've got to change that. Now just recently on February 25th, the Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, made some headlines up at General Huntoon's campus at West Point on the beautiful Hudson. He made a speech, and those headlines popped up after the Secretary observed and recommended that any future Secretary of Defense that recommended an engagement in Asia in a land war should have his head examined, and that the Army should rethink its heavy structure and rethink its allocations to our formations and heavy forces.
Now the headlines, I would argue (because I've sat down and talked to the Secretary the next day) were largely a matter of misunderstanding, misinterpretation. Something I think the Secretary clarified to a large extent during a speech he made shortly thereafter at the Air Force Academy. But here is my point. Through all the commotion about those comments, I think one of the most important parts of the Secretary's speech were, were overlooked because not long thereafter in that speech the Secretary gave the cadets, I think, some terrific advice.
And he said, and I quote, "In addition to the central troop command and staff assignments, you, tomorrow's leaders, should look for opportunities in the paths that are off the beaten path, if not a career dead-end: further study at grad school, teaching at a first rate university, spending time at a think tank, being a congressional fellow, working at a government agency, or becoming a foreign area specialist," the secretary said, "should be things that every future leader ought to think about doing." And he went on to note that, "That would require the institutional Army," what we call the generating force, "not only to tolerate, but to encourage you in that effort." End quote.
I believe he couldn't have been more right. In that regard, one of the key projects, in fact the key project that I have undertaken as Secretary is to transform that institutional force, transform that force that can facilitate you accessing the things that Secretary Gates talked about in your futures as leaders. Now why am I doing that' Because I, like Secretary Gates, believe that our best hedge against an uncertain future, as Secretary Gates put it very well: we've got a 100% perfect record in predicting the future. We've always been wrong. Our best hedge against that uncertain future will be adaptive, innovative, thinking officers; leaders like you who can intellectualize rise to any challenge; who will operate with confidence and competence in an environment of uncertainties. People in this room are those who we had in mind. People like you are who have already stood your selves apart.
Over the past nine years, through conflicts in two theatres, the operational Army, that sharp tip of the spear, has changed ever so dramatically. All of you know what's caused that change. It's been the fundamental imperative of daily contact with a decentralized, adaptive, creative, and extraordinarily deadly, deadly (repeated) enemy. But the institutional Army - the generating force - which prepares, trains, and educates and supports our forces for the fight, looks pretty much structurally like it did in the 1970's - more than three decades ago. Literally each day, often hour by hour, the operational Army continues to morph as new threats arise. We have to be as equally adept, as equally flexible in our institutions and our processes from personnel to training to development to materials assistance as they are in the operational Army. We have to be able to form a structure and perform in a fashion that empowers you officers and leaders that doesn't just allow but in fact helps you to reach your goals and realize your objectives as an officer and as a professional.
Now it is true, the institutional Army like has happened to the Army on the battlefield has had its challenges since September 11th. Secretary Gates noted in those kinds of circumstances, the most important thing we could do is to produce the force - to field the Army. And we've been doing that, but we have to do more. We have to have an institutional Army that is designed and driven by ideas and innovation. Instilled with the determination that the best services and equipment, training and support for our Soldiers, civilians, and their family members are what are driving us every day, and doing it at an affordable cost.
There's some realities here. We're talking about institutional change. For those of you who are studying those kinds of things back at your campus, you know how hard that can be. Institutions are just historically resistant to change, particularly when we don't provide motivation to do things differently. That is not a new problem. Even in Marshall's time, after the war to end all wars and on the cusp of a second war, the nations' military structure seemed content to march in place. Marshall found that out when he was struggling to demand the change in the structure of what was then the War Department. Major General Joe McNarney, whom Marshall had asked to kind of work through the issues of that reorganization, told Marshall that the only way he was going to be able to do that was to not as we call it, "staff" it. Don't put it out. Don't ask for concurrences and non-concurrences, because if you do, you'll have nothing but numerous nom-concurrences and interminable delay - bureaucratic stagnation. Marshall happened upon a game changer, a little motivator called World War II. And it allowed him to do the things he necessarily needed to do, to make a big difference.
So we are looking for a game changer for ourselves. What motivations can we bring about to harness the change that we need to make a better Army for all of you' Now there may be several, but two come immediately to mind. Number one: the very thing that Soldiers are talking about, and that is diminishing resources, fewer dollars available to build our budgets. And number two is a new kind of enemy; one that we're seeing on the battlefield today; one that will cause us to look at how and why we field an Army in different ways for the future.
Now let me start with number two. In my humble opinion, you can out-fight, this Army can out-fight any enemy on the face of the earth. But we have to do more than just fight the enemy. We have to develop the thinkers of tomorrow to out-plan, to out-plot and overcome the enemy militarily, of course, but intellectually as well. Our key challenge therefore is to make certain that you have the education, training, the time necessary to keep you retained, challenged and inspired. And happily we've started to do that. We're underway as we speak. We've changed the way in which we do things - all things, or at least we've started to look in that direction.
We began a series of what we call Capability Portfolio Reviews. It is a systematic look and a systemic look at every thing we do by class and function. From our missile programs to our tactical vehicle fleet to our civilian workforce and beyond, we are asking what are we doing; how much are we paying for it; and are there smarter ways to get that job done. We are working to revalidate, modify and in many cases outright terminate requirements, ensuring responsible priorities for everything from research to development to life cycle sustainment and acquisition, and that includes by the way, force structure, end strength and training.
We recently completed a holistic review of our acquisition process. We are going to buy things smarter, quicker, and we're going to buy them at the best possible cost. At the same time, AMC, Army Material Command, the ASOL, the acquisition executive for the Army, are currently engaged in a thorough review to root out overlap and flatten out redundancies in our research and development programs, ensuring you are getting what you need for the future fight in the most timely and cost effective way possible.
I directed the DUSA - the Deputy Under Secretary of Army to review our so-called temporary organizations and task forces to see if they are still needed and to see if they are even relevant to what we are doing and what we are facing both today and tomorrow. Because to paraphrase the economist Milton Friedman, there's nothing in Washington so permanent as a temporary taskforce. And we've got to change that, and we're working to do that.
Now I know, that sounds like a lot of Pentagon talk, it sounds like talk you've heard before and maybe it sounds like something you didn't care about then, and maybe you don't care much about now. But let me suggest to you that transforming the institutional Army ought to be something that as you sit here as our future leaders in uniform, that you should know as well, that transforming the Army is more than just pinching pennies or improving the bottom line. It's about doing things smarter, doing them better, and taking full advantage of the progress in technology and all the off the shelf availability of products that are out there waiting for us. It's about best posturing ourselves for the upcoming era of operational and fiscal change; ensuring we are prepared to manage the future and preserve what over the last decade has become the best Army on the face of the earth with no peer anywhere to be seen.
And as we go about that, the Army and our nation must heed the warnings and the lessons of the post-Vietnam world most particularly. It is the same lesson George Marshall warned about repeatedly, perhaps never so strongly as the widely publicized address shortly after the Allied victory of World War II. "Respect," Marshall said, "is an intangible. But consider what it would have meant to us in tangibles had we commanded the military respect of the Germany, Italy and Japan in 1939." Marshall spoke of the Axis nations' surprise, not at our willingness but at our capability to organize to fight and to win. Had they anticipated that willingness and resolve, he suggests, that perhaps the world would have never known World War II.
And he said too, "Respect is fleeting, lest we bend our efforts to preserve it." That, it seems to me, is our solemn obligation - to ensure this nation's continued respect built on the valor, sacrifice, and bloodshed of those who have volunteered to serve. We must ensure that our nation's strength and our nation's resolve is never again so challenged. And to do that, to meet that moral obligation, we'll need your help and your leadership and your commitment. And to achieve that, I want to make you a promise. If you commit and invest in us, this Army, your Army, will heed George Marshall's wisdom to learning lessons through history. We will manage the coming days of change and fiscal constraints in a fashion that preserves all about this great Army that calls you to its ranks, that retains its posture and its deserved reputation as the awe-inspiring force that it has become. This is our duty to our great nation, and it is our promise to us and to all of you. So congratulations on your selection. Thank you for allowing me the honor to be here, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the program.

Product Description
Zoka Coffee brings a new twist to the classic Mocha Java blend in their signature Zoka Java interpretation. As one of the most well known and historic coffee blends, how does Zoka Coffee, a small artisan roaster in Seattle, improve upon perfection? Zoka took the flavor profile and re-imagined it with what is available now in sustainable agriculture. Instead of coffee from the island of Java, they found a savory, syrupy source in Indonesia. For the bright fruit forward component they bypassed Yemen in favor of Ethiopia. If you are not familiar with the flavor, Zoka Java has a balanced flavor: full earthy body, moderate acidity, nut-like chocolaty flavors and fruity floral high notes.
- 12 ounce bag, Premium Whole Bean Coffee
- Roasted Fresh in Seattle
|How Does it Compare?
Zoka Java blends a fruity-berry taste with a nutty chocolate flavor for a balanced combination in the cup.
|Tips and Tricks
The distinct flavor of Mocha Java style coffee makes it easy to recognize. Even people who say they can't distinguish between different coffee profiles will recognize the uniqueness of this one.

What is the official name of the ACY1 gene?
The official name of this gene is "aminoacylase 1."
ACY1 is the gene's official symbol. The ACY1 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page.
What is the normal function of the ACY1 gene?
The ACY1 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called aminoacylase 1, which is found in many tissues and organs, including the kidneys and the brain. This enzyme is involved in the breakdown of proteinswhen they are no longer needed. Many proteins in the body have a chemical group called an acetyl group attached to one end. This modification, called N-acetylation, helps protect and stabilize the protein. Aminoacylase 1 performs the final step in the breakdown of these proteins by removing the acetyl group from certain protein building blocks (amino acids). The amino acids can then be recycled and used to build other proteins.
How are changes in the ACY1 gene related to health conditions?
Where is the ACY1 gene located?
Cytogenetic Location: 3p21.1
Molecular Location on chromosome 3: base pairs 51,983,284 to 51,989,202
(Homo sapiens Annotation Release 107, GRCh38.p2) (
The ACY1 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 3 at position 21.1.
More precisely, the ACY1 gene is located from base pair 51,983,284 to base pair 51,989,202 on chromosome 3.
See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? in the Handbook.
Where can I find additional information about ACY1?

Re: Accuracy of hepatocellular carcinoma detection on multidetector CT in a transplant liver population with explant liver correlation
Department of Radiology, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK.Clinical Radiology (Impact Factor: 1.76). 07/2011; 66(12). DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2011.05.010

Article: Liver stiffness measured by magnetic resonance elastography as a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma: A preliminary case-control study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: To examine if liver stiffness measured by magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic liver disease. Methods: By reviewing the records of magnetic resonance (MR) examinations performed at our institution, we selected 301 patients with chronic liver disease who did not have a previous medical history of HCC. All patients underwent MRE and gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging. HCC was identified on MR images in 66 of the 301 patients, who were matched to controls from the remaining patients without HCC according to age. MRE images were obtained by visualising elastic waves generated in the liver by pneumatic vibration transferred via a cylindrical passive driver. Risk factors of HCC development were determined by the odds ratio with logistic regression analysis; gender and liver stiffness by MRE and serum levels of aspartate transferase, alanine transferase, alpha-fetoprotein, and protein induced by vitamin K absence-II. Results: Multivariate analysis revealed that only liver stiffness by MRE was a significant risk factor for HCC with an odds ratio (95 % confidence interval) of 1.38 (1.05-1.84). Conclusion: Liver stiffness measured by MRE is an independent risk factor for HCC in patients with chronic liver disease.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Our aim is to develop an automatic method which can detect diverse focal liver lesions (FLLs) in 3D CT volumes. Method: A hybrid generative-discriminative framework is proposed. It first uses a generative model to describe non-lesion components and then identifies all candidate FLLs within a 3D liver volume by eliminating non-lesion components. It subsequently uses a discriminative approach to suppress false positives with the advantage of tumoroid, a novel measurement combining three shape features spherical symmetry, compactness and size. Results: This method was tested on 71 abdominal CT datasets (5,854 slices from 61 patients, with 261 FLLs covering six pathological types) and evaluated using the free-response receiver operating characteristic (FROC) curves. Overall, it achieved a true positive rate of 90 % with one false positive per liver. It degenerated gently with the decrease in lesion sizes to 30 ml. It achieved a true-positive rate of 36 % when tested on the lesions less than 4 ml. The average computing time of the lesion detection is 4 min and 28 s per CT volume on a PC with 2.67 GHz CPU and 4.0 GB RAM. Conclusions: The proposed method is comparable to the radiologists' visual investigation in terms of efficiency. The tool has great potential to reduce radiologists' burden in going through thousands of images routinely.

Article Summary
At the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March, Ferrari unveiled its latest flagship supercar, elegantly titled LaFerrari. It's a beast of a machine sporting almost 1,000 horsepower, and we featured a full write-up (with plenty of photos) at the time of its unveiling. Now, just a couple of months later, a wristwatch designed to match the look and feel of the LaFerrari has been announced. Those with deep pockets and a penchant for luxury watches should read on, while the rest of us instead resign ourselves to looking at our phones when we need to know what the time is.

Saturday, 19 April 2014 | MYT 11:15 PM
(Reuters) - An earthquake with a magnitude 7.5 struck off Papua New Guinea on Saturday and a tsunami warning was briefly issued for the Pacific Island nation and neighbouring Solomon Islands, but there were no immediate reports of damage.
The quake, at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), struck 68 km southwest of Panguna on the island of Bougainville, the U.S. Geological Survey said, revising down the magnitude from an initial 7.8.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre later cancelled a tsunami warning for Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands and there was no threat to neighbouring Australia or across the Pacific Ocean.
At least six strong tremors have hit near Bougainville in the past week or so, including a magnitude 7.3 on April 11, but there have been no reports of major damage.
"Certainly it has been very active, more active than usual,"
said Jonathan Bathgate, a seismologist at Geoscience Australia. "(The spate of earthquakes) is relieving some pressure on this faultline, but we can't rule out another large earthquake."
The quake would have been felt strongly on Bougainville and nearby islands, but given its position on the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire" where earthquakes are frequent, extensive damage was unlikely, Bathgate said. However, a local tsunami may have been generated, he added. Readings showed a small wave had been generated, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said.
In 1998, a magnitude 7 earthquake triggered a tsunami that smashed into villages near Aitape on Papua New Guinea's north coast and killed more than 2,000 people.
Resource-rich Bougainville, which neighbours the Solomon Islands, fought a war for independence from Papua New Guinea in the 1990s, leading to the closure of the Panguna copper mine, majority-owned by Rio Tinto Ltd. Bougainville is now an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea.

Opportunity only knocks once and Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) intends to answer the door. But in order to do so, the corporate spy is going to need the help of a rival colleague named Ray Koval (Clive Owen). Although it doesn't take much to convince Ray to get involved in the perfect double-crossing plot, stealing company secrets may prove easier than learning to trust one another--especially when mutual romantic attraction starts to get in the way.

Johnny Manziel has an agent.
Now he has two of them.
ESPN's Jon Gruden became Manziel's unpaid representative Thursday night during the NFL draft, televised on both ESPN and the NFL Network.
Gruden, who has run a quarterback camp and mentored prospects at that position since he left coaching, didn't waste any time touting Manziel, the marquee player in college football the last two seasons.
South Carolina linebacker Jadeveon Clowney was considered by most draft analysts to be the most likely player to go to Houston as the No. 1 pick.
Surprisingly, Gruden thought Manziel, the Texas A&M quarterback, should have been the choice. Ray Lewis, working his first draft for ESPN, lobbied for Buffalo linebacker Khalil Mack. Draft analyst Mel Kiper suggested there was no choice to be made. It was Clowney all the way.
"The Texans must find their future quarterback," Gruden insisted. "Just look at the three they have on their roster. That's important."
Kiper argued that picking Manziel first would be over-drafting him.
"I don't feel like I'm over-drafting," Gruden said. "If I'm a quarterback coach, this is what I want for my future in the modern day league."
Kiper said the only player he would pick over Clowney is Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, who was taken first overall in the 2012 draft.
"You guys are killing me," Gruden said. "Now you are comparing 'Johnny Football' with older quarterbacks. I measure quarterbacks against great defenses. And the best college football has to offer is Alabama. He ripped Alabama. ... Just be careful about what you wish for."
Said Kiper: "He did not rip LSU. He did not."
Gruden's love for Manziel was lost on the Jacksonville Jaguars, who chose Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles third overall.
"I'm in for a long night with you two guys," Gruden said.
Then it became Tampa Bay's turn to draft at seventh overall.
"If they take Johnny Football, I might have to re-apply for my season tickets," Gruden said about his former team. "Because when I got fired, they took them away. I would love to see my hometown Bucs take Johnny Football. We need a kid like this to bring juice back in our organization."
Lewis thought Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans would be a good fit. Kiper said Evans also would be a good fit in Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers picked Evans and lost out on the chance to get Gruden's season-ticket renewal.
Now Tennessee, which did not pick up the option on quarterback Jake Locker, took its turn at No. 11.
"I would have to think they are open for business," said Gruden. "Again, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a quarterback. I had Manziel going a long time ago. I'm getting tired of saying his name."
By this time viewers were getting tired of hearing his name, too.
After the Titans took Michigan tackle Taylor Lewan, ESPN reporter Adam Schefter talked about a Manziel downward "spiral." Johnny Football was becoming Johnny Freefall.
Chris Mortensen said after the Giants picked: "The big question out there is where is Johnny Football going?"
Now Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had a decision at 16. In his mock draft, Mike Mayock of the NFL Network had Manziel going to the Cowboys.
The NFL Network put up a tweet from Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who knows a thing or two about spiraling down in a draft: "This should be an interesting 10 minutes," Rodgers said.
Gruden went to the Manziel well again.
"This is possible," Gruden said about Jones picking Manziel. "Doesn't seem logical because their defense could use a safety. They could use a linebacker. ... But (Tony) Romo is 34 years old. I don't care what the contractual status is. It's inevitable that they will need to find a replacement. And Jerry Jones, he likes filling that big stadium."
Dallas passed. But Cleveland traded up and took Manziel at No. 22. Gruden exhaled.
"This is better than the movie 'Draft Day,'" Gruden shouted over the din at Radio City Music Hall. "I'm telling you."
In the 2012 draft, Gruden saw NFL success for Wisconsin's Russell Wilson. The Seahawks' Super Bowl victory this year made Gruden look like Nostradamus. You wonder if Manziel will give Gruden the same kind of return.
Ha Ha? Yeah, yeah
"That pick made a ton of sense," Mayock said when Green Bay picked Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. "Of all the safeties in the draft, I thought this guy had the best range. He's a more natural free safety. Now he only ran 4.58 at the combine, but he plays faster than that."
Kiper also likes Clinton-Dix's range but mentioned that defensive players from Alabama "have not lived up to the hype, particularly in the secondary." But Kiper added that Clinton-Dix "could end up being a better pro than he was a collegian."

History of Pagadian City, Province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines
The city proper and surrounding areas of Muricay, Tawagan Sur and White Beach was originally named "Talpokan," an indigenous word that means "a place of numerous springs".
During the early part of the 20th century, the place was called "Pangad-ye-an", a Visayan word that means,"a place to be prayed for" because of a Malaria epidemic that nearly wiped out the early christian population, majority of which came from the Visayas. An alternative theory suggests that it was named after a bird that the native inhabitants call "Gagadian". However, the officially accepted version on how it came to be called "Pagadian" is derived from the Iranun language "pagad" (wait) and "padian" (market). The area had been a trading post and market during the Maguindanao Sultanate period.
The first inhabitants were the Subanens, a tribe native to the Western Mindanao Region. Then the Muslim settlers arrived sometime in the 15th century, established a flourishing community and introduced the Islam faith.

Majority of Pagadianons speak the Cebuano language (part of the Bisaya family of languages). The national language, Filipino (Tagalog) is widely understood and is the native tongue of a small percentage of the population. Iranun, Maguindanao, Maranao, Tausug, and Samal dialects are used by the Muslim community, however, the dialect of the indigenous Subanen people is in danger of being lost[citation needed] as younger generations prefer to use Cebuano instead. Remaining percentage of the population are classified as Ilonggo, Chavacano and Ilocano speakers. As in the case with the rest of the Philippines, English is understood by virtually everyone and is used as the primary language for business and official purposes.

Natural Resources of Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.
Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power. We have too many black outs.
