Arizona-Toledo Series History
All-Time Series: Arizona leads, 3-0
First Meeting: Sept. 7, 1985 (UA 23, Oregon 10 at Tucson)
Last Meeting: Sept. 3, 2010 (UA 41, Toledo 2 at Toledo)
Streak: UA has won all three meetings
Some Game Themes: The Rich Rodriguez officially kicks off this Saturday, the culmination of a resolute offseason in which the 30th Arizona head coach worked feverishly to change the culture of the Wildcat program ... The veteran head coach's transformation process coincides with the construction of the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility on the north end of Arizona Stadium, a can't-miss visual confirmation that the program is truly building toward the future ... The immediate on-field results will be anyone's guess as the Cats debut new offensive and defensive schemes ... Complicating matters will be a hungry Toledo squad seeking revenge for a couple of routs administered by the Cats in two recent meetings under the previous coaching regime ... The Rockets are fresh off a thrilling Military Bowl victory (42-41) against Air Force, while UA was on hiatus after three consecutive bowl trips ... UT coach Matt Campbell enters his first full season at the helm after coaching the bowl game ... A four-game or a two-game winning streak will be snapped, but more importantly will mark an initial setback for one first-year ball coach and his squad... Storylines at quarterback are plentiful, namely for the Rockets who are expected to trot out both Austin Dantin and Terrence Owens. Meanwhile, Matt Scott finds himself as the undisputed starter at Arizona for the first time in his career, and seems a natural fit in Rodriguez's multiple-spread system ... UA linebacker Jake Fischer returns after a year's absence (knee injury) to become a centerpiece of a new 3-3-5 alignment installed by defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel... Depth concerns, mainly across the defensive two-deep, mean as many as a dozen true freshmen could debut for the Wildcats ... A Labor Day Weekend game for the Wildcats, who have lost just once on the holiday weekend ...
The Last Meeting: Arizona defeated Toledo, 41-2, in the season opener on Sept. 3, 2010, at the Glass Bowl in Toledo, Ohio. The Wildcats set a single-game passing percentage record in throwing for 415 yards and three scores to punctuate a broader team effort. UA's Nick Foles (32-for-37, 86%) and Matt Scott (5-for-7, 71%) combined for an 84.1% mark and new standard. Foles' individual effort was the second-highest percentage in UA history, to go along with his two TD throws and 360 yards. Eleven of his throws were grabbed by Juron Criner, who amassed 187 yards plus snagged a fade in the endzone, to put his name in the Arizona single-game top 10 for yards (and again for game catches). The Cats had a bit of inconsistency running the ball (105 yards, albeit at a solid 4.2 yards per tote), so they didn't persist, instead turning to their multi-faceted passing game. Ten different receivers ended up in the stats. Meantime, the Cats played some wicked defense, holding Toledo to 183 net yards and zero offensive points. The two points the Rockets did score came when a holding penalty in the endzone turned a scramble for a first down by Scott into a safety in the second period. The Rockets managed 3.6 yards per play on only 51 tries and had only two forays into UA territory including a 1st-and-goal at the UA 8 yard-line that was turned back. UA had a gaudy 9.4 yards per pass attempt and 7.5 yards per play in building a 518-yard day on offense. Nic Grigsbyrushed eight times for 53 yards (6.6 ypc) and scored twice, once on a 36-yard double cut-back jaunt in the first half. Arizona's average scoring drive on six touchdown journeys was nine plays, 70 yards and 3:40 -- deliberate, economical and to the point.
The Coaches: Arizona - Rich Rodriguez(West Virginia '86), first year at Arizona (0-0) and 18th as a head coach overall (120-84-2). Rodriguez was introduced as the 30th head coach of the UA football program on Nov. 22, 2011. He carries a career college coaching record of 120-84-2 in 18 seasons, marked by Division I records of 60-26 at West Virginia (2001-2007) and 15-22 at Michigan (2008-10). He began his head coaching career at Salem (W.Va.) University in 1988 and then coached at Glenville State (W.Va.) from 1990-96. Rodriguez's West Virginia teams were Big East Champions in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 while appearing in two BCS bowls, the 2005 Sugar Bowl with a victory over Georgia for an 11-1 record and a victory over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl to finish 10-2 shortly after Rodriguez had left for Michigan. Toledo - Matt Campbell (Mount Union `02), first full year at Toledo (1-0) and first full year overall. Campbell led the Rockets to a 42-41 victory over Air Force in the 2011 Military Bowl, just 16 days after being named the head coach following the departure of Tim Beckman, now at Illinois. Campbell spent the previous three seasons as the Rockets' offensive coordinator and line coach. Prior to his service at UT, Campbell served as an assistant coach at Bowling Green for two seasons.
Series Quick Hits: The Wildcats and Rockets have met on three previous occasions, with the Wildcats claiming victory in each contest ... Most recently, UA opened the 2010 season with a 41-2 rout at the Glass Bowl ... The first two meetings were held in Tucson at Arizona Stadium, with the Cats prevailing 23-10 in 1985 and 41-16 in 2008 ... UA has outscored Toledo a combined 105-28 in the three games ... The game will be UA's seventh all-time against current Mid American Conference schools ... UA has previously defeated Toledo three times, and Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan once apiece (6-0 combined).
For Openers: Arizona is 78-25-5 all-time in the first game of the season, winning four consecutive and 10 of the last 12 ...The Cats open the season at home for the fourth time in the last five seasons (opened at Toledo in 2010) ... UA is 13-0 since its last season-opening defeat in Arizona Stadium, which was a 15-14 decision against Iowa on Sept. 12, 1987 ... UA has given up a grand total of 18 points over the last four season openers (4.5 ppg). The Cats have outscored those foes 171-18 over the four games.
New Eras: Saturday will mark the dawn of a new era for both schools. Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguezenters his initial campaign on the sidelines for the Wildcats, while his counterpart, Matt Campbell, embarks on his first full season as a head coach at Toledo. The Wildcats will also welcome their new school president, Dr. Ann Weaver Hart, to her first Arizona football game in the new role. Dr. Hart began her tenure in Tucson back in July, after serving as president at Temple University since July 2006.
Head Coaching Debuts: Rich Rodriguez looks to continue a modest two-game winning streak for Arizona football head coaches in their Wildcat debuts. Mike Stoops won his initial game, 21-3, over Northern Arizona in 2004. A few seasons earlier, John Mackovic guided the Wildcats to a 23-10 victory in 2001 at San Diego State. Otherwise, opening games have been tough for new football coaches in Tucson, evidenced by just one other win out of the last 10 UA coaching debuts. Dick Tomey (15-14 loss vs. Iowa in 1987), Larry Smith (15-13 loss vs. Colorado State in 1980) and Tony Mason (21-10 loss at Auburn in 1977) dropped their first games as UA head coaches. Jim Young's 31-0 shutout at Colorado State in 1973 is the only other win out of the last 10 UA coaching debuts (interim coaches excluded). Otherwise, Bob Weber (lost 23-7 at Wyoming in 1969),Darrell Mudra (lost 36-17 to Wyoming in 1967) and Jim LaRue (lost 18-14 to BYU in 1959) also fell short in their first game on the sidelines. Ed Doherty led the 1957 Wildcats to a 14-14 tie against BYU, resulting in a 3-6-1 record for ball coaches in their first games.
Arizona Under First Year Head Coaches: The Wildcats' 29 previous head coaches have enjoyed a fair share of highs and lows during the first season of their tenure at UA. The men who preceded Rodriguez went a combined 103-110-8 in their first seasons and own a 16-10-2 record in the first game they coached. College Football Hall of Fame member Jim Young is the last UA head coach to post a winning season in his first year, going 8-3 in 1973; however, Dick Tomey, UA's all-time coaching wins leader, broke even at 4-4-3 in his first year in 1987.
Labor Day Weekend: The Labor Day weekend has been kind to UA football over the years when the Wildcats play at home. Since the college football season began opening on (or before) Labor Day weekend back in 1983, the Wildcats have played 14 home games on the holiday weekend. UA's record in those contests is 13-1, including 12 straight wins dating back to 1985 (only loss was to Fresno State in 1984). More impressive, though, is the fact that the Cats have outscored opponents 474-99 over the 14 games. Additionally, UA has allowed an opponent to score double-digit points just three in those games (27 to Fresno St. in 1984, 13 to BYU in 2006 and 10 to NAU in 2011). Traditionally the holiday weekend has resulted in a lower attendance figure since many local families have used the time for one final summer vacation. But since 2004, the Wildcats have averaged just under 52,000 fans at the five Labor Day weekend games, a nice increase over the school's 46,506 average mark in the 14 such games.
September Starts: The opening month often times sets the tone for the rest of the season, and that has held true for the Cats in recent years. The 2011 campaign began with a 1-3 month of September en route to a 4-8 final record. In the three prior seasons, UA posted a combined 10-2 record en route to three consecutive bowl berths. This year, UA will try to benefit from four home games out of five total contests in the opening month. Rich Rodriguez boasts an impressive 31-7 (.816) record in the month of September in his 10 previous seasons as a head coach of FBS programs at West Virginia and Michigan. His teams have gone to bowl games in seven of those years, including two BCS berths.
Home Cookin': Arizona will host eight home games at Arizona Stadium, which is undergoing one of its most significant refurbishment phases in its 84-year history. The Wildcats have not hosted eight home games in a season since 1988, when the squad won five home contests in a 7-4 campaign. Arizona is 21-11 at home over the last five seasons.
Matt's The Man: Matt Scott, a senior a year ago who sat to utilize his redshirt season, enters his fifth season at Arizona as the undisputed starting quarterback. A native of Corona, Calif., Scott has played in 22 games and made five starts for the Wildcats over the years. As a true freshman backup to Willie Tuitama in 2008, Scott saw action in six games. The following year he battled current Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles and won the starting job out of camp. Scott started the first three games of that `09 season, winning two of three contests. Foles earned the start in the fourth game and never relinquished the starting role, though Scott saw action in nine of the games. Scott was the backup again in 2010, but a knee injury sidelined Foles for the better part of three games, and Scott was nearly flawless in his place. Scott came off the bench to guide the Cats to a 24-7 win at Washington State, then engineered 500-plus yard offensive outputs in wins against Washington (44-14) and on the road at UCLA (29-21). Those were the fourth and fifth starts of his career, which is the tally he enters the 2012 campaign with. Here's a look at Scotts year-by-year stats:
Building for the Future: The Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, scheduled to open in August 2013, marks a dynamic shift in the Arizona football culture as it will become the centerpiece of the program on the north end of Arizona Stadium. Supported by private funds, including significant leadership gifts from David and Edith Lowell and from Jeff and Sharon Stevens, the $72.3 million project will provide the Wildcats with one of the premier football facilities in the nation. The facility will be a four-floor operations center with strength training, sports-medicine, coaches offices, locker rooms, meeting rooms, equipment and facility service areas. The structure will enclose the north end of the stadium and create a full bowl with nearly 4,000 premium spectator seats, including a donor lounge with outdoor seating. Additionally, stairways and elevator towers for the concourse will connect the structure to the existing east and west stadium sections. Restrooms, amenity areas and a cafeteria will also serve the campus community. Arizona Stadium has an official capacity of 51,811 for this season, but once work is completed on the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, the venue will near the some 57,000 seats it has held in recent years.
Starting Point: For a team that must replace its all-time leading passer, career receiving touchdowns leader, starting running back, top four receivers, two starting linebackers and two starting defensive ends, the Wildcats actually have a great deal of experience on their 2012 roster. Consider that 31 players on the roster have started a game for the Wildcats. All added up, its 182 career starts, with the offensive line responsible for 59 of those. Offensively, running back Ka'Deem Carey and tackle Lene Maiava are in search of their first starts, which could come early this season. Defensively, returnees Dominique Austin (DE), Derrick Rainey (CB) and Jared Tevis (Bandit) are contending for their first starting nods.
Welcome Back(er), Jake: After missing all of last season recovering from an ACL injury sustained in April 2011, linebacker Jake Fischer returns as one of the leaders of Jeff Casteel's new 3-3-5 defense. Fischer, a projected starter last fall, has worked hard to get back on the field, and his return to game action will be a reward for countless hours of rehab and training since his last game played - the 2010 Alamo Bowl, where he had six tackles against Oklahoma State. His work ethic, football IQ and willingness to be coached has allowed him to quickly adapt to a new system. He enters this season trying to surpass the 58 tackles (7.5 for loss) and two sacks he amassed in 2010.
It's Their Time: The Wildcats lost four of their top five receivers from a season ago as Juron Criner, David Douglas, Gino Crump and David Roberts combined for 2,645 receiving yards. The cupboard isn't bare at the wideout positions, however. Returnees Dan Buckner, Austin Hill, Richard Morrison and Terrence Miller combined for 1,254 yards of their own. All except Morrison have a 100-yard game to his credit, proving the pieces are in place for big plays in the passing game once again. It remains to be seen how much the focus will shift to the running game in Rich Rodriguez's system.
Getting Defensive: Rich Rodriguez brought with him defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel, who stayed at West Virginia when the former moved on to Michigan in 2008. Casteel was defensive coordinator of the Mountaineers from 2003-2011, the architect of a 3-3-5 defense that produced some sterling results. Casteel's units were No. 4 nationally in turnover margin in 2003; No. 7 nationally in turnover margin and No. 15 in total defense in 2005; best in the Big East and No. 13 nationally in rushing defense and 25th in turnover margin in 2006; No. 7 in total defense, No. 8 in scoring defense, No. 9 in turnover margin and top-20 marks in sacks and rushing defense in 2007; No. 11 in scoring defense and top-20 marks in turnover margin and pass efficiency defense in 2008; and No. 3 nationally in total defense in 2010.
New Look Defense: Wildcat fans may do a double-take when they see the UA defense take the field for the first time this season. Coordinator Jeff Casteel will unveil his 3-3-5 defense which he mastered in recent years at West Virginia. It's a distinct departure from the 4-3 defense implemented by Mike Stoops and Co. from 2004-11. Sure Stoops' teams, like most, utilized nickel and dime packages in passing situations, but the base featured four down linemen in most all packages. Prior to Stoops' arrival, the Wildcats dabbled with a 3-4 scheme under defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitzin 2003, when he eventually became the interim head coach. The previous decade (1992-2002) saw the Wildcats line up in the double-eagle flex, made famous by Tedy Bruschi and other notables in the mid-90s under head coach Dick Tomey (1987-2000) and coordinator Larry MacDuff. Tomey's initial squads often played a "bear" front - or `50' defense - with five down linemen, before tweaking the system to the double-eagle flex in 1992. Tomey's predecessor, Larry Smith, installed a 3-4 scheme throughout his tenure from 1980-86. In his first season, Smith realigned the incumbent `50' defense by renaming the defensive ends as linebackers to produce the 3-4 system.
In The Trenches: A far cry from this time a year ago, the Wildcats are sanguine about the continuity and cohesiveness along the offensive line entering the 2012 campaign. When Arizona opened the 2011 season, center Kyle Quinn was the only offensive lineman on the roster with starting experience, all gained in his one and only career start in the 2010 Alamo Bowl. Otherwise the Wildcats were counting on reserves with limited game experience at the guard spots, and redshirt freshmen at the tackles. Now Quinn, a senior leader, and his fellow linemen return a full year of starting experience. Guard Trace Biskin earned starts at right guard in the final 10 contests last season, while Chris Putton started nine games at left guard and Shane Zink filled in three times at either guard spot. Bookends Mickey Baucus and Fabbians Ebbele started all 12 games at left and right tackle, respectively. It all adds up to 59 career starts returning along the O-Line. All significant backups on the two-deep return as well, plus a highly talented redshirt freshmen tackle in Lene Maiava and some promising true freshmen. To boot, line coach Robert Anae returns - the only member of the 2011 coaching staff that Rich Rodriguezre-hired.
Graduates: Kudos to offensive linemen Kyle Quinn and Trace Biskin, who each earned their degrees from The University of Arizona last spring. The two completed their undergraduate work in four years, and both begin their final season in the program as fifth-year seniors. Quinn, a 13-game starter at center in his career, graduated with a bachelor's degree in history and is now enrolled in graduate school, exploring a master's degree in educational leadership. Biskin, a 10-game starter at right guard, graduated with a degree in political science and is now enrolled in UA's graduate program, studying international security.
Shaq Is Back: Junior CB Shaquille Richardson returns as UA's interception leader after snaring four picks a season ago, which was tied for the most by any player in the conference. A 13-game starter in his career, Richardson has six interceptions total interceptions, 76 tackles, 12 pass breakups and two forced fumbles. Fellow defenders Jourdon Grandon, Tra'Mayne Bondurant, Marquis Flowers and Mark Watley each intercepted a pass a year ago, adding up to nine of the team's 11 picks from 2011. They are hoping for more in 2012.
Where Are They? Arizona will deploy assistant coaches Calvin Magee (co-offensive coordinator, RB coach), Rod Smith (co-offensive coordinator, QBs coach), Bill Kirelawich (DL coach) and Tony Gibson (safeties, defensive special teams) to the press box on game days. That leaves Jeff Casteel (defensive coordinator, LB coach), Spencer Leftwich (TE coach, offensive special teams), David Lockwood (CB coach), Tony Dews (WR coach) and Robert Anae (OL coach) on the sidelines with head coach Rich Rodriguez.
New Faces: A new era of Wildcat football will include the potential contributions of up to a dozen true freshmen, most on the defensive side of the ball. Some immediate help could be needed at linebacker, where Keoni Bush-Loo, C.J. Dozier and Shadow Williams earned significant reps all through camp. In the secondary, Jamar Allah, Wayne Capers Jr., Will Parks, Brian Harper, and Yamen Sanders could see time as backups and/or on special teams. Kyle Kelley has pushed for time up front in the defensive end rotation. Offensively, running back J.T. Washington and lineman Cayman Bundage and third-team quarterback Javelle Allen will also appear on the two-deep. Of course, others could continue to emerge with continued development.
Youthful Experience: Arizona's front-line secondary features five guys that have seen significant game action early in their Wildcat careers, but their responsibilities and workload will surely increase in 2012. Junior CB Shaquille Richardson is a 13-game starter in his two seasons, including 10 last year. The corner position opposite Richardson will be held down by Jonathan McKnight, younger brother of New York Jets running back Joe McKnight. The Wildcat corner missed all of 2011 with an ACL injury, but played as a reserve in all 13 games as a true freshman in 2010. Tra'Mayne Bondurant, who figures to fill the "Spur" role, started the final six games of his true freshman season last fall. Jourdon Grandon, who played both safety and corner as a redshirt freshman last season, has four career starts and is the likely starter at free safety. The "Bandit" position should be filled by Jared Tevis, a former walk-on who earned a scholarship after spring ball. Tevis saw time in most games a year ago on special teams units, but has yet to start a game.
Flip-Flopping: Several Wildcats have changed positions for the Wildcats since the start of fall camp to fill needs at various spots, though senior Taimi Tutogi has simply added a position to his duties. A RB/FB/TE throughout his career, Tutogi figures to start at FB for the UA offense this season with an increased role in the running game. But the 6-foot-1, 260-pounder will also put his hand down to rush the passer for the defense on third down passing situations. His burst and low center of gravity give him an edge in the pass-rush compared to some of the squad's taller ends/tackles. Tutogi isn't the only new face on defense: freshman Keoni Bush-Loo entered camp as a TE/FB, but has moved full-time to linebacker. So, too, has fifth-year contributor Greg Nwoko, a former running back with 543 yards and six scores on his résumé. In the secondary, redshirt freshman Patrick Onwuasormoves over to a safety spot after a year-plus as a receiver.
Kicking Game: Arizona opens the season with stability and promise in the kicking game, as punter Kyle Dugandzic and kicker John Bonano return for their senior campaigns. Dugandzic punted 40 times for 1,840 yards (46.0 average, tops in the Pac-12) last year, but the unit as a whole struggled with 33.8-yard net average, doomed by three blocked punts. Meanwhile, UA's placekicking unit was inconsistent at best a year ago (10-for-18 FGs, 5 missed PATs), as the Wildcats tried three different placekickers. Lucky No. 3 turned out to be Bonano, who solidified the role in the second half of the season. Previously a kickoff specialist, Bonano was a perfect 24-for-24 on his PAT tries, connected at a steady 8-of-12 rate on field goals (long of 47-yards) and booted 22 touchbacks on kickoffs in 2011.
Carey The Load: Running back Ka'Deem Carey returns for his sophomore campaign after leading the Wildcats in rushing touchdowns a year ago with six scores. As a true freshman, Carey saw significant playing time and rushed for 425 yards on 91 totes behind since-departed Keola Antolin, who led the club with 568 rushing yards. Carey averaged 4.7 yards per attempt, a click or two better than Antolin's 4.5 clip. Carey's breakout performance was last October in the Coliseum against USC, when he scored two rushing touchdowns and added a 27-yard reception for three total scores against the Trojans. He twice led the team in rushing last year, including in the Territorial Cup victory over Arizona State in which he gained a career-best 92 markers to go with one touchdown.
Loaded Backfield: Perhaps Arizona's deepest position is at running back, which may surprise some considering the Cats ranked 11th in the Pac-12 and their leading rusher - Keola Antolin - exhausted his eligibility following a steady career. However, the trio of Ka'Deem Carey, Daniel Jenkins and Kylan Butler combined for 637 yards and an efficient 4.98 yards per carry as backups in 2011. Now they are front and center in Rich Rodriguez's multiple spread, which could lean more towards the run rather than the pass. So, too, is bruiser Taimi Tutogi who figures to get more touches. Look for true freshman J.T. Washington and redshirt freshman Jared Baker to add even more depth. Oh, and UA's quarterback - Matt Scott - has 632 yards on 99 carries (6.38 ypc) in his career.
Captains: Head coach Rich Rodriguezwill designate game captains throughout the season on a weekly basis. Captains will be named following Thursday practices each game week during the season.
Up Next: Arizona continues its opening stretch of three straight home games when it welcomes No. 19 Oklahoma State to Arizona Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 8. The game will be televised live on the Pac-12 Networks beginning at 7:30 p.m. MST.

Mobile, Ala. - Count New Orleans Saints special teams coordinator Greg McMahon among the hundreds of coaches who would rather be somewhere else this week than looking ahead to the 2011 NFL Draft.
"That's your goal every year is year is you don't want to be here," McMahon said, echoing a popular refrain from a Saints staff that was able to skip the event last year en route to a Super Bowl title. "At the end of the day, there's one team that's happy, and that's gonna be the team in two weeks that wins the Super Bowl.
"But, you know, coming off the year we had last year and stuff, I mean, expectations are so high, and what a great thing that is. The bar in New Orleans is very high, and heck, that's what you work for. So we're disappointed that we're not still playing, that's for darn sure."
It's particularly disappointing for McMahon, considering the Saints' struggles on special teams in their season-ending 41-36 loss at Seattle in the opening round of the playoffs.
The Saints failed to generate any significant yardage in their return game, which forced them to consistently begin drives inside their own 20-yard line. Coach Sean Payton cited that as one of his biggest disappointments immediately after the game.
The Saints' coverage units were OK against Seattle's dangerous return man, Leon Washington, but they sacrificed a lot of yardage with short kicks to keep him from being able to generate long returns.
The Seahawks' average starting position was their own 40-yard line, versus the Saints' average start at their own 26-yard line (which was boosted by cornerback Jabari Greer's interception return in Seattle territory.
"Shoot, we gotta continue to work to win the field-position battle. That's gonna be every game, every season," McMahon said. "We've definitely gotta be better in that area, there's no question. That was disappointing in that game.
"You know, give Seattle credit too. They're really good, they're a tremendous team. I thought our guys battled and played. And at the end of the day, you're gonna walk off the field and you're gonna feel either good or bad. We fell, what, five points short. It's just disappointing."
It certainly didn't help that the Saints were besieged by injuries in some key areas down the stretch. They lost their top two kickoff returners, Courtney Roby and Pierre Thomas, to injuries. And their most explosive punt returner, Reggie Bush, was knocked out during the game. On the coverage side, they were missing guys like Roby, safety Malcolm Jenkins and defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove, among others.
Regardless, improving the special teams units will be a significant priority for the Saints this offseason after their coverage units ranked 28th in the NFL against punts and 24th in the league against kickoffs. It's something they wanted to clean up heading into the 2010 season, as well, but failed to do so on a consistent basis. They had some noteworthy struggles against Cleveland, Cincinnati and Seattle, in particular.
The Saints' return units ranked a little better - 23rd on punts and 15th on kickoffs -
but they could have a lot of changes coming in personnel. Roby is scheduled to be a free agent, as is Thomas and punt returner Lance Moore. Bush's contract will be an issue, which could lead to his release if his contract isn't restructured.
McMahon had an optimistic outlook, though, on Tuesday. He said it was good to get a chance to scout some of the college players who could help improve the special teams units. And he said the 2010 season was hardly a total loss.
"There was a lot of good things. We had an 11-5 season. We were only a game away from being a 1 seed," McMahon said. "So you've got to look back and see all the positive things, and there was a lot of positive things. If you look back at the whole body of work, we did some darn good things."

The Johns Hopkins Science Review
Living Together (1954) - An episode of educational television series "The Johns Hopkins Science Review". Produced by ABC/DuMont station WAAM, and aired on the DuMont Television Network. I believe this episode aired live, as very few DuMont series were recorded in advance. This episode is about psychiatry.

The place for Civil War enthusiasts to be this weekend is the Manassas Civil War Weekend which covers August 22-24.
Keynote speaker on Friday night is the preeminent scholar Ed Bearss. The favorite to most every Civil War event, Bearss brings an enthusiasm not often seen in 90 plus year olds. He is the chief historian emeritus for the National Park Service.
There will be a re-enactors parade and a visit from the Civil War History Mobile which is a traveling exhibit of the Virginia Sesquicentennial Commission. The maps and sketches of Civil War soldier Robert Sneden will be on display. The display is part of the largest collection of Civil War soldier art from the Virginia Historical Society.
Famed Civil War speakers will give lectures throughout the weekend. Among those scheduled are General Robert E. Lee, General "Stonewall" Jackson, General Hunter, General Meade, plus noted authors on such topics as Civil War amputees, a Southern lady spy, the Battle of New Market Heights, the Shenandoah and Maryland campaigns. The authors will also stay and sign their books.
A living history exhibit will show African American life in Liberia. There will be military drills, artillery firings, a cavalry demonstration and displays showing medical practice during the war. Children's activities will also be featured and will include a scavenger hunt. The Manassas Symphony Orchestra will play on Sunday evening.
There will also be a commemoration of the famous raid of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson on Manassas Junction which will include Civil War music by the 2nd South Carolina String Band, a bourbon tasting for those over 21 years of age, and a mock burning of a rail car at dusk.
A complete schedule for the event may be found at www.visitmanassas.org or at www.manassasmuseum.org. Manassas Museum will offer free admission during the weekend.

You may have been one of the 3.1 million smartphone owners who had their phone stolen last year according to Consumer Reports. Thefts of smartphones are increasing as 40 percent of all robberies include smartphones despite the warnings in the news.
The major carriers and Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft agreed on Tuesday to all smartphones manufactured for sale in the United States after July 2015 must have the technology to shut down the phone according to the program from CTIA-The Wireless Association.
HTC, Nokia and Motorola have also signed on to the agreement with the four main carriers of AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and U.S. Cellular working in tandem on this change to protect consumers. BlackBerry is not on the list and has not made an announcement at this time,
The feature provided by July 2015 of the agreement is that the smartphone owner can erase personal information, emails, photos and a password will be required to access the information. Also, at no extra cost to the smartphone owner, the phone will be deactivated and only the owner can allow its reactivation.
Does this provide the good news to the consumer? The issue still remains that the smartphone owner must install the security measures. This is still an optional step for the smartphone owner.
California State Sen. Mark Leno (D) has introduced legislation that would require every phone sold in the state to have a mandatory kill switch. Legislation sits in Congress for this legislation also. In a bi-coastal effort San Francisco Attorney George Gascon and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman have put out a plea that the 'kill switch' be mandatory and not an option of security measures on the part of the owner.
One fear that Gascon states is that the reason carriers are reticent to provide mandatory measures is due to the the fear of losing insurance fees attached monthly to their program menu. Consumer Reports show that smartphone owners do not take the extra step to protecting their device which includes one-third of smartphone owners will not use options that require certain PIN codes for access and other app features for protection. Most do not install the app that tracks a mobile device.
Back to the debate of mandatory versus the pledge to provide optional security measures leads Leno back to the status quo of 'optional' program menu. 'While I am encouraged they are moving off of that position so quickly, today's 'opt-in' proposal misses the mark if the ultimate goal is to combat street crime and violent thefts involving smartphones and tablets,' states Leno after the announcement on Tuesday

This narrow pass is one of the most famous and most untamed on the island. It runs through the stony desert which closes off the Niolo basin near Corte. The road, which at points is hewn into the rock face, looks over the gorge. The arid and haunted landscape makes for a grandiose setting: the exposed rock, eroded by the wind and stormy waters, is carved up into needlelike formations. Only a few clumps of vegetation manage to cling to the crevices. Under the sun the pass is strikingly beautiful, whereas under cover of darkness, it becomes more disturbing.

Farewell 43 Etiquette
Farewell 43 is a web site full of many different opinions submitted by many different people. While we'll each find plenty of messages that we agree with, it is virtually assured that there will also be plenty of messages that we disagree with.
When visiting the Farewell 43 website (or anywhere for that matter), please remember the following:
- Everyone has an innate right to their opinion. Your right to disagree does not outweigh it. Respect and be respected.
- Remember, the people sharing this web site with you are your friends, neighbors, family members, countrymen and women, fellow Global Citizens, and fellow human beings. You will always have more in common with each other than you ever will have different.
- Accentuate the positive. Look for opinions you agree with and support them. Try to avoid getting stuck in that negative rut of only criticizing opinions you disagree with.
- Disagreeing with someone's opinion is one thing. Insulting and name calling is another. If you have an alternate point of view, explain it in a way that is flattering to yourself.
- ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. Emphasize a word or two using CAPITAL LETTERS if you so choose, but please do not type your entire message in uppercase. Messages typed in all uppercase will be converted to upper and lower case before they appear in the book. So better to use your words rather than your Caps Lock key for emphasis.
As our website evolves so too might this etiquette. Please check back for updates from time to time.

Giveaway: Meeno Babies "Cool Mee" Seat Liner (closed)
September 10, 2011 by Rajee
Filed under Accessories, Baby Products, Baby Gear, Contests, Giveaways, Photography, Product Review, Safety, Shop
I was lucky to find Meeno Babies when I was just browsing and went to read more about their products. Meeno Babies is cleverly designed seat liners to keep baby and kids cool in their car seats and strollers.
I don't want to take Kabil out in this hotter month as he is not comfortable to sit in the stroller and often cries. I have to carry him to keep him cool. I came to know his seat is not breathable. So, I was thinking not to take him out often.
When I showed "Cool Mee" seat liner to my husband, he immediately tried it within few minutes and told me that it is super easy to use it. He appreciated me for getting this terrific produt that has a very thin material with extra cushioning for comfort made from a 3-ply mesh fabric that allows air to flow. It helps to keep their babies "sweat-less" and cool.
You all know, the weather in Dallas is like open oven in summer. Kabil was also not comfortable to sit in his car seat. He wants me to sit on my lap while travelling. We are so happy that he sits comfortably with Meeno Babies "Cool Mee" Seat Liner and sometimes he fall asleep. I took him slowly from his car seat and he didn't have sweating in his head and back. Look my cute baby is now COOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL

Try to live like this forever
Love my mom and ?
Even my ambition had
To write itself in black
Yeah, I know, it sounded right
And helped my mother sleep at night
But everything to everyone
To you wasn't enough
You could see through
I could, too
All the love I have in me
I understand how I could be
A terrible example when
I take my own advice
I am not the victim, here
And I am not the enemy
So why did I design for you
A face to place your sympathy?
I'll do any fantasy
But nothing that could seem to be
I know this from the agony
Because I don't know how
I believe in common sense
And maybe with coincidence
But I don't believe in heaven
So I have to have you now
You could see through
I could, too

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
If you are building your kit of the first time and are on a budget constraint, then the only option that you can have is going for the EF-S lenses. There are still some really good lenses in the EFS system and you can most definitely make use of the additional 1.6x crop factor that comes with using an APS-C body like the 70D.
Also depending on the budget you can get third party lenses like(Tamron, Sigma, etc) for a better price that the first party Canon lenses.
It actually depends on what you really have available to spend on, and what kind of photography you would like to do.
Before I answer your question, here's a piece of advice: Unless your camera is very old, it's probably better to invest in a good lens instead. Camera bodies come and go, you're going to be using those lenses for a long time. And lenses can affect the quality of your photo more than a body.
Here are two photos, both straight out of camera converted to JPG: One shot with a 7D and the other with a 10D (manufactured in 2003). It's pretty difficult to tell the difference (lighting and white balance notwithstanding). Both shot with the same lens.
So by that same reasoning, it's also better to invest in a EF L grade lens. If you ever decide to upgrade to a full frame camera, you won't be able to use your EF-S lenses anymore. Canon's L lenses are their top of the line but, there are no EF-S L grade lenses.
I used the same 10D for eight years before upgrading to a 7D, but in that time, I accumulated an extra four lenses, two of which were L glass.
If you can't afford L glass, I recommend the Tamron A09 SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom. It's the same lens that I shot both of the photos above with.
Dpreview.com has some good lens reviews that should help point you in the right direction.
Edit: And as Mihir mentioned, if you're building your kit for the first time and don't already own a camera, maybe consider buying a used camera and investing the money you save in a good lens instead.
And I probably should have mentioned: This is my perspective as a portrait photographer. Your needs will be different if you're shooting action.

Graduate School Grants & Student Loans
Federal Stafford Loans are available to eligible graduate students through the Federal Direct Loan program. These graduate student loans are made directly by the U.S. Department of Education, not by commercial banks or other financial institutions.
Most graduate school students are eligible for Stafford Loans regardless of credit history, level of income, or value of assets. Students can borrow a maximum of $20,500 per academic year. Your loans will be received directly by LFGSM. LFGSM will use your loan money first to pay for your MBA tuition, fees, and other school charges. If any loan money remains, you'll receive the funds by check or ACH.
Currently, all loans carry a fixed rate interest of 6.21% per year. This interest starts to accrue immediately and will be added to the principle if not paid by the time repayment begins. After you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, you will have a six-month grace period before you begin repayment. During this period, you'll receive repayment information from your loan servicer, and you'll be notified of your first payment due date. Payments are usually due monthly.
The Direct Loan Program offers several repayment plans that are designed to meet the different needs of individual borrowers. Generally, you'll have 10 years to repay your loan, depending on the repayment plan that you choose.
To receive aid from the federal student aid programs, you must:
- Have unmet financial need.
- Be enrolled at least half-time or accepted for enrollment as a regular graduate student working toward a degree or certificate.
- Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
- Have a valid social security number. If you don't have a social security number, you can find out more about applying for one at www.ssa.gov.
- Maintain satisfactory academic progress.
- Sign a statement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) certifying that you will use federal student aid only for educational purposes.
- Sign a statement on the FAFSA certifying that you are not in default on a federal student loan and that you do not owe money back on a federal student grant.
- Register with the Selective Service, if required.
A Financial Aid Checklist can be obtained through our website at www.LFGSM.edu, or by contacting the Financial Aid Office at 847-574-5264.
Graduate PLUS Loans
Graduate PLUS Loans funds are available to graduate students through the U.S. Department of Education.
The maximum PLUS Loan amount you can borrow is your cost of attendance (determined by the school) minus any other financial assistance you will receive.
The interest rate for Direct PLUS Loans is a fixed rate of 7.21%. There is a fee of 4.288% of the loan amount, deducted proportionately each time a loan disbursement is made.
There are several repayment plans that are designed to meet the different needs of individual borrowers. Generally, you'll have 10 years to repay your loan, depending on the repayment plan that you choose, and you may defer repayment while you are enrolled at least half-time. You will receive more detailed information on your repayment options during entrance and exit counseling sessions.
Private Graduate Student Loans
Private loans are alternate sources of financing offered through private lenders. These student loans are credit based non-federal educational loans to cover tuition and other living expenses not covered by other financial aid for LFGSM graduate students. The application process and related terms and conditions of private graduate loans vary by institution. The interest rates and fees are determined by the student's credit history.
We have provided a list of private loan options to assist graduate students in their search for additional MBA tuition financing. This list does not constitute an endorsement or promotion of any specific private lenders. Please be aware that our graduate students are not obligated to apply for a private student loan or choose a lender included on this list. Students may select any lender of their choice.

wiggly wigglers sell wormeries.
If you want to make one you could try this.

Our local council has a deal with a local garden supplier so they sell wormeries/water butts etc to residents at discount prices. I don't know if this is a nationwide 'initiative' but it knocked about thirty quid off the retail price of one for us.

Followed the link. I'm looking to make a 3 tiered wormery. Doesn't look like the containers I've got are suitable, they stack rather than fit into each other but I've a better idea of what to put in to start one off.
Sara. Our council isn't that forward thinking but I'll check their website. .
25 Jun 2013 00:02
You never know, - it seems logical as it must save them money on recycling and they are a rural council at the end of the day. By the way, you (and everybody else) probably already know this, but when you do get a wormery don't give them the lemon out of your G & T. I don't think they mind the G bit but they hate citrus fruit and I slaughtered a whole batch of them by not knowing this!

Checked out the county website and they claim to give away compost bins but I couldn't find the link to it!!!
Was directed to another site were dalek compost bins started at £16 and another site which sold wormery's dearer than the first link. There was a kitchen waste bin though which claims to rot stuff down within a few weeks by just adding a bran like substance without the worms, it produces fertiliser and claims the waste can then be added to a normal compost bin.
26 Jun 2013 07:41
Artjak will know all about it I'm sure (does it have a Japanese sounding name?)
26 Jun 2013 21:52
Can't find the site this evening, think it started with a B or D, it could have been Japanses sounding. I usually put sites in favourites if I'm gonna go back but didn't with this one
26 Jun 2013 21:58
Were they Bokashi compost bins by any chance?
26 Jun 2013 22:48
Googled it and yes it was a Bokashi compost bin.
Also checked out 'freebi composting' for Lancashire, they lost the funding for compost bins years ago so don't suppose the offer of a cheap Bokashi compost bin is still available, the one I saw was less than £20 and the one's checked out this evening on line are £50 plus...this is where my principles of recycling leave me...
...back to the original plan of a home made wormery...

Women's Basketball Holds Off Brown Rally For 76-71 Overtime Victory
Nov. 26, 2003
Providence, RI - It wasn't the prettiest of games, but a victory can make all the little mistakes vanish in an instant.
Despite losing a 12-point halftime lead and committing 33 turnovers on the evening, the University of Illinois at Chicago women's basketball team held on for the 76-71 non-conference overtime victory over Brown at the Pizzitola Sports Center on Wednesday evening.
"I don't know how you can win games when you turn the ball over that much," UIC Head Women's Basketball Coach Lisa Ryckbosch said. "I just think that every person that played, contributed.
"And that was huge."
With the victory, UIC improves to 2-0 on the season, while Brown falls to 1-1 on the campaign.
Sophomore point guard Chrissy Dizon tallied a game and career-high 28 points, including 10 points in the extra session, to pace the UIC offensive attack. In overtime, Dizon drained a three-pointer and connected on 7-of-8 from the charity stripe to help the Flames clinch the victory.
"Chrissy Dizon will not let us lose," Ryckbosch said. "She's just an absolute warrior."
The Flames also received solid performances from both senior Tina Thompson (11 points) and junior Dejeanette Flournoy (7 points, 12 rebounds).
Colleen Kelly led four Brown players in double-figures with 21 points, followed by Holly Robertson (13 points, 9 rebounds), Tanara Golston (12 points) and Sarah Hayes (11 points).
UIC will be back in action on Friday, as they will travel to Worcester, Mass., to square off with Holy Cross at 2:00 p.m. (CST).

Screen Music Awards Nomination - Best Music for Childrens Television
Really great to be amongst some terrific fellow nominees for the Screen Music Guild / APRA awards for 2013, for my work on ABC for Kids' "Gigglearium Special."
This follows Giggle and Hoot's ARIA nomination for last year's album "Claw Tapping Tunes". It's is my third nomination for this award, after winning it in 2009 – so fingers are crossed, though my fellow nominees, Henrique Dib and Christopher Elves have done some amazing work as well – it's an honour to be along side them.
The Gigglearium Special tells the story of the arrival of a seemingly normal box of veges that arrives at the home of Jimmy Giggle and Hoot the Owl. When the magic button is pressed, it is transformed into a magical musical theatre, where Tommy Tomato, Bessie Broccoli and Cosmo Carrot perform amaaazing songs from all sorts of styles and genres.
The special includes 4 songs - Opera, Country, Mega-Rock Ballad, and a jazzy-dixie land song, as well as an orchestral underscore.
The whole Gigglearium series is a massive credit to Clare Gerber, Natalie Robinson-Hurst, Bryson Hall, Karin Fitzhardinge and Jan Stradling – the amazing Giggle and Hoot team. The Veges were performed by Naomi Young, Hamish Fletcher, and James Rees with Puppet Chorrie by Luke Joslin.
The Screen Music Awards will be announced on December 9 at the State Theatre Sydney.
King Kong
Theatre doesn't get much bigger than this. I was thrilled to participate in the world premiere of Global Creature's "King Kong" at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne.
The show drew in an incredible creative team from around the world, directed by Daniel Kramer, and with music by Marius DeVries. The Helpmann nominated score features songs by Massive Attack, Sarah McLachlan, The Avalanches and more, and was supervised by Max Lambert and Musically Directed by Daniel Edmonds. Having been a long time fan of Marius's work on films like Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliet, I was thrilled to be able to work as part of such an innovative music team on this production.
Let's Go Play! Songs For Happy Healthy Kids
"Think of it as a self help album for kids" - SMH
"Let's Go Play" (available on iTunes) is a collection of fifteen songs for pre-schoolers focussing on issues like Road Safety, Diet, Being Sunsafe, Anxiety, Bullying, Friendship, Cybersafety and a whole gamut of songs to entertain and educate your little person.
The songs were written in collaboration with a whole gamut of stakeholders from across the country including Brainstorm Productions, Kids and Traffic, ACMA's Cybersafety, Victoria Health, NSW FACS, and Victoria's Cancer Council. It was a privilege to work with so many passionate advocates of these important issues, and I'm really proud of the songs we made for this project.
Dame Julie Andrews
Yes. Julie Andrews. Yes, yes, yes. When I got the call to make a backing track for Dame Julie's speaking tour, there was only ever going to be one answer. Yes.
It was an honour creating the music for the singalong finale of the show, with the usual help of Glen Hannah on guitar. It was a double thrill to meet Julie backstage and get a quick snap. Thanks to Peter Adams for asking, again, as well as Phil Bathos and Gordon Frost and all of the production team for this amazing show.
The Gigglearium!
When Jimmy Giggle and Hoot the Owl find a special magic ticket in the Surprise-a-lat-or, little do they know they're soon going to receive the most magic fruit and vege box there ever was – The Gigglearium!
Home to Cosmo Carrot, Bessie Broccoli and Tommy Tomato, the three most singingest veges ever, the Gigglearium present awesome songs loud, slow, solo, country and opera while the veges dance up a storm.
If ever there was a gig I was born to do the Gigglearium is it. I know I always say I had a ball on all my gigs (and I do) but this was just so much fun to put together, with the amazing Giggle and Hoot team, and Clare Gerber in particular.
Slippy Slippy Slimy!
Now this was fun. When Kristie Phelan at Nickelodeon asked me to have a go at some music for their new image spot, I just fell in love with the piccys. Editor Andy Shaw had already done a cut that rocked and rolled, and demanded a really dynamic score, and it was my pleasure to grind out some thumping rock to match some sublime and slimy pictures. We went back and forth a couple of times and landed on something really aweosme.
The pictures really capture a primal messy joy more than anything, and it was aweosme to get out the guitar and drums and rock out for this one! Check out the clip over the break.
Pie Gotta Fly!
Was stoked to get the gig to write and compose a new song to celebrate the third birthday of ABC 3 and Studio 3. The brief was to create a song, for a film clip, about throwing pies, starring the ABC 3 Hosts including Prank Patrol's Scott Tweedie, Stay Tuned's Joel Phillips and Nicole Singh, Good Game's Steven "Bajo" O'Donnell and Stephanie "Hex" Bendixsen, as well as the four amazing Studio 3 Hosts - Amberley Lobo, Olivia Phyland, James Elmer, and Kayne Tremills.

Just in time for springtime's more revealing attire, the trainer to celebrities such as Anne Hathaway and Naomi Watts is revealing her secrets to slimming down and shaping up. Simone de la Rue has helped those women as well as models, actors, fashion designers and everyday women get their best bodies. Now she's sharing her secrets in a new book: "Body By Simone: The 8-Week Total Body Makeover Plan" (click for details).
In an interview, Simone told us that working out with your friends provides "a positive way to take care of yourself and share that joy with your friends."
When it comes to diet, she advocates clean eating.
By limiting your sugar and gluten intake and your alcohol and dairy intake you are cleansing your system and allowing your body to digest properly. By eating whole, organic real foods rather than processed foods you can detox your system, and you'll look and feel better.
In addition to the fitness and clean eating program, Simone's book includes a two-week kick-start cleanse, which offers unique benefits for health and weight loss.
"It really is a detox to clean out your gut and detoxify your body, by eliminating certain foods that your body holds onto or is even allergic to," explained Simone.
"The first few days are difficult as you are coming off caffeine and sugar, but at the end of the 2 weeks you feel incredible. Your skin glows, your eyes shine, your hair and nails grow, and you sleep better. You have more energy and you feel lighter and alive!" she said enthusiastically.
We asked Simone to share her favorite recipe from "Body By Simone: The 8-Week Total Body Makeover Plan" (click for more information).

McCain Campaign Manager 'Rethinking' Using Reverend Wright in Obama Attacks
With only fifteen days left until the election, the McCain team realized that they already threw the kitchen sink, but forgot to use the best part — the hose.
On Hugh Hewitt's radio talk show today, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis told the conservative host that, though John McCain originally ruled out any attacks on his rival over Obama's relationship with former pastor Jeremiah Wright, the controversial minister might be back on the table. "When Congressman Lewis calls John McCain and Sarah Palin and his entire group of supporters, fifty million people strong around this country, that we're all racists and we should be compared to George Wallace," Davis said, "you know that you've got to rethink all these things," Davis said. This sort of seemed inevitable, eh? [HuffPo]

Designing a Better Library Learning Experience
Librarians are educators.

The nature of the work presents us with opportunities to design learning activities, but […]

The Legislature's choices are difficult: deepen the state's current-year budget shortfall by $73 million, or make businesses change their payroll practices.
It's all connected to the Obama administration's tax cut.
The Obama plan saves taxpayers money by reducing the amount of tax withheld from paychecks, giving workers more take-home pay.
If Arizona keeps its tax-withholding policy linked to this federal tax code, as it usually does, it loses the $73 million because fewer tax dollars would be coming into state coffers.
But if the state establishes its own withholding rates, employers will be forced to make changes, something many of them already have done to meet an April 1 federal deadline set in the Making Work Pay program.
So what to do? Stay the course, or change state policy?
Lawmakers aren't sure.
"I have some concern if we start whiplashing employers around," Senate President Bob Burns, R-Peoria, said at a meeting of Republican senators Tuesday.
Sen. Barbara Leff, R-Paradise Valley, agreed, saying it's better for the state to have a consistent policy. For years, Arizona has matched its tax policy to that of the federal government.
But Sen. Linda Gray, R-Glendale, said the state should set its own rates and avoid further budget distress. Employers adjust withholding paperwork all the time, she said, as employees' circumstances change.
Leadership in the House of Representatives, like that in the Senate, has not yet decided which path to take.
Either option will not cost the state money in the long run. State-budget analysts project that the change in the federal-tax withholding will cost the state $37 million in fiscal 2010, but should result in a $109 million gain in fiscal 2011, as the money cycles through the economy.
Lawmakers need to make a decision before they unveil details of the 2010 budget, expected sometime next week.
