Attorney Hiram Sasser's remarks in the April 15 story "All Church Picnic moving to Esther Short" hit on the key to the National Park Service-Pearson conflict: "They're (NPS) treating it like the middle of Yellowstone, and I equate it to Central Park in New York City."
As the executive director of the Pearson Air Museum in its build days, I was in numerous meetings to create the partnership of the NPS with the city of Vancouver and private groups to manage the air museum. It was supposed to be a partnership that would be a model for agencies and national parks across the country.
It was our vision that the new Vancouver National Historic Reserve (now called the Fort Vancouver National Site) would be "the place where the community could gather to throw their hats in the air when there was something to celebrate." The NPS rules and regulations for the Fort Vancouver Historic Site need to be expanded, so it can be that community gathering place. Sporting events, church groups and bands should not be prohibited, but encouraged.
We have a jewel downtown, and it's not being enjoyed to its fullest due to NPS restrictions.
We need to be able to gather and throw our hats in the air in our national historic reserve. It does not just belong to the NPS.
John J. Donnelly, Vancouver

Jan. 14, 2013
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Washington junior guard C.J. Wilcox has been named the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 7-13, the Conference announced Monday.
The Pleasant Grove, Utah, native averaged 23.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 blocks this weekend in the Bay Area sweep for the Huskies. Washington started the week off at California with a 62-47 win. Wilcox led the Huskies tallying a game-high 19 points and tied his career-high of 8 rebounds. The junior was on fire on defense as well holding his player to zero points on the night.
The Huskies then headed to Stanford with a 65-60 win. Wilcox shot .625 percent from the field and .667 from behind the three-point line for an impressive 27 points on the night, just one shy of his career high. He scored 11 of the team's last 15 points in the game. In addition to his high scoring, Wilcox set a new career-high of nine rebounds.
The sweep over the Cardinal and the Golden Bears was the first for the Huskies since 1985. Washington has started the Pac-12 season with three-consecutive road wins for the first time since 1912.
This is Wilcox's second career Pac-12 Player of the Week honor, earning the first Player of the Week of last season on Nov. 14, 2011. It is the 45th all-time selection for Washington and their first this season.
Washington stays at home this week hosting Colorado on Wednesday, Jan. 16 at 8:30 p.m. PT on the Pac-12 Networks. On Saturday, Jan. 19 they play host to Utah at 8 p.m. PT on ESPNU.

Restorative justice in New Zealand best practice
The need for guidance on the use of restorative justice processes is increasingly recognised.
The need for guidance on the use of restorative justice processes is increasingly recognised. Basic principles adopted by the United Nations in 2002 encourage States to develop guidelines and standards to govern the use of restorative justice programmes. The Canadian Department of Justice has recently released a set of principles and guidelines for the use of restorative justice processes. Similar work is underway by the United Kingdom's Home Office.
Although some concern has been expressed that such guidance may inappropriately restrain restorative justice practice (which is constantly developing and changing), there is also recognition that there are some fundamental principles which should always be upheld. If these principles are not recognised and endorsed, restorative justice as an alternative response to offending and victimisation may potentially be placed at risk.
The overall agreement that exists about best practice in restorative justice is illustrated by the two documents presented in this publication. The Principles of Best Practice for Restorative Justice Processes in Criminal Cases were prepared by the Ministry of Justice, following a consultation process with restorative justice practitioners over 2003. The Statement of Restorative Justice Values and Processes was prepared by restorative justice providers in 2003 through the Restorative Justice Network. Although written from different perspectives, the documents reflect an internal consistency about the values and principles that should inform restorative justice practice. The decision to publish the Principles and Statement together demonstrates the collaborative working relationship between the government and community that is vital for the continued development of restorative justice in New Zealand.
It is hoped that this publication will be a valuable resource for all those working with, or participating in, restorative justice processes. This includes victims, offenders, community members, Judges, court staff, defence counsel and restorative justice providers. Both documents represent current thinking and may be revised at a later date, as theory and practice develop.
What is Restorative Justice?
Restorative justice is both a way of thinking about crime and a process for responding to crime. [1] It provides "an alternative framework for thinking about wrongdoing" [2] which, along with the values and principles underpinning this framework, suggests new ways of responding to offending and victimisation. Although restorative justice processes are not unique to Maori, they have strong alignment with Maori values such as reconciliation, reciprocity and whanau involvement.
There is no agreed definition of restorative justice processes. A number of definitions have been suggested, most of which focus on a process which involves all those affected by an offence and aims to repair the harm caused by the offending. The following is one of the many working definitions that have been developed:
"Restorative justice is a process to involve, to the extent possible, those who have a stake in a specific offence and to collectively identify and address harms, needs and obligations, in order to heal and put things as right as possible". [3]
There is no one way that restorative processes should be delivered. Instead, "the essence of restorative justice is not the adoption of one form rather than another; it is the adoption of any form which reflects restorative values and which aims to achieve restorative processes, outcomes and objectives". [4] Further discussion of the values, outcomes, and objectives of restorative justice is provided throughout this publication.
Restorative Justice in New Zealand
The application of restorative justice principles and practices in New Zealand as a response to offending and victimisation began with the introduction of Family Group Conferences for young offenders through the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act 1989. Over the 1990s, similar principles and practices began to be applied on an ad hoc basis to cases involving adult offenders. However, it was not until the passage of the Sentencing Act 2002, Parole Act 2002, and the Victims' Rights Act 2002 that there was any statutory recognition of restorative justice processes in the formal criminal justice system.
Together, these three Acts:
- give greater recognition and legitimacy to restorative justice processes
- encourage the use of restorative justice processes wherever appropriate
- allow (and require) restorative justice processes to be taken into account in the sentencing and parole of offenders, where these processes have occurred.
Although restorative justice processes can operate in a variety of ways at different stages in the criminal justice system, pre-sentencing conferencing in District Courts appears to be the most common restorative justice process operating in New Zealand. The Ministry funds 24 providers of restorative justice across the country and holds deeds with 3 voluntary providers to deliver restorative justice services prior to sentencing. Currently these providers cover 36 District Courts.

Fair Park Update - November 2012
An article in last month's Parks & Recreation magazine, published by the National Recreation and Park Association, discusses the responsibility of park administrations nationally and locally to prove the return on investment for our park and recreation services and programs.
After reading this, it made me think about the true benefits of Fair Park to our park system and our City. Fair Park's benefits are not only important from a business and economic standpoint, but contribute to the social, mental and physical well-being of our community.
As it relates to Fair Park's economic benefits, let's look at the numbers:
- $33.8 MILLION: Gross economic impact on local spending generated by the AT&T Red River Rivalry (Texas and OU).
- $9.60 MILLION: Gross economic impact on local spending generated by the 2012 Ticket City Bowl.
- $6.0 MILLION: Gross economic impact on local spending generated by the by the State Fair Classic (Grambling and Prairie View).
- 5 - 6 MILLION: Number of annual visitors and the largest known visitor draw in the State of Texas. This figure is significant as the U.S. Bureau of Census April 2012 report cites Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington as the 4th largest metropolitan area in the country with a population of 6,526,548.
- $2.8 MILLION: The amount the State Fair of Texas Scholarship Program awards to State Fair Livestock Show high school participants & to students at five Fair Park-area schools.
- 800 - 1,200: The number of special events held each year to include the grounds and exhibition halls, six museums, five performance facilities and the Cotton Bowl Stadium on 277 acres.
- 5.29 MILLION: Fair Park attendance through September 2012, up when compared to same period last year of 5,196,254 - even with the closings of Women's Museum & Museum of the American Railroad. Using Global Attractions Attendance Report figures, Fair Park attendance in 2010 of 5.47 million exceeded Sea World Orlando (5.1 million); Universal Studios Hollywood (5.04); Busch Gardens Tampa (4.20); Sea World San Diego (3.80).
- 51 PERCENT: The increase in attendance for events booked by Fair Park Administration in FY 11-12 over the previous year resulting from new runs and new festivals.
- 5,572: The number of seasonal/part-time employees at Fair Park.
- 601: The number of full-time employees at Fair Park of which 55 are City of Dallas employees.
- 10: Number of major commercial film shoots at Fair Park to include Gatorade, American Ninja Warrior, The Good Guys, Biggest Loser, My Ride Rules, Friday Night Lights, Fourth and Long, Southwest Airlines, Texas Lottery and Yu Darvish commercial for Japanese TV
Calculating the return on investment is critical. However, some things, like the awe and wonderment of a child enjoying fireworks or the experiencing the Esplanade Fountain shows for the first time, cannot be quantified.
Make plans to visit Fair Park again soon!
Daniel Huerta
Executive General Manager, Fair Park, Texas

College Hockey:R.J. Tolan Named Associate Head Coach at Wentworth
BOSTON — Wentworth head coach Jonathan Deptula has hired R.J. Tolan as the associate head coach.
A former four-year defenseman at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Tolan comes to Wentworth after spending a season as an assistant men's hockey coach at neighboring Northeastern University. While at Northeastern, he assisted former head coach Bruce Crowder in all areas of coaching, including heading up the team's video and scouting efforts. Prior to coaching at Northeastern, he served as an assistant coach at Bentley (2003-04) and as an assistant coach of the Boston Bulldogs Junior Hockey Club (2002-03), the team he played for before attending Mass.- Lowell.
A native and current resident of Waltham, Mass., Tolan played in 56 career games for the River Hawks and scored three points (two goals, one assist) in 31 games as a junior. During his senior season, Mass.- Lowell finished 22-13-3, however, a neck injury allowed him to play in only 14 games.
"It is extremely exciting for the program to have a coach of R.J.'s qualifications join our staff," said Deptula. "R.J. is a skilled recruiter and tactician who I know is going to help elevate our program to the next level. He has a tireless work ethic and has worked under some fantastic coaches. I know those experiences are going to help each and everyone in our program reach their potential."
"I am excited to be a part of a great program and proud to be a part of great hockey tradition," said Tolan. "I am hoping I can help the team continue with its recent success."
Wentworth, which has won ECAC Northeast Championships in 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2004, is coming off a 15-10-2 season which ended with a 3-2 loss to Mass.-Dartmouth in the ECAC Northeast semifinals. The Leopards share Matthews Arena with Northeastern as their home rink.

Here's a weight loss supplement not unlike many others, but at a generic price.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2016
Leptopril is a diet pill solution that is made specifically for obese and significantly overweight individuals. Leptopril classifies these people as having more than twenty pounds of additional weight or a body mass index of more than 27. Leptopril is a generic version of the popular diet pill Leptoprin-SD. It offers the same dosage, results and ingredients at a more affordable cost.
Not only does Leptopril market itself as the sure-fix for those battling their weight, it's also a strong stimulant that will give you back needed energy. The Leptopril formula reduces sugar in the blood after meals, burns fat and provides increased energy. Leptopril is taken twice daily with your two largest meals.
Do You Know the Best Weight Loss Pills of 2016?
The ingredients for Leptopil were not published on the product site. There are many natural ingredients included, but also many sources of caffeine. Caffeine does have side effects such as headache, high blood pressure, nausea and racing heart. Leptopil also includes:
- Guarana
- Yerba mate
- Green tea
- Ma huang
- Kola nut
- Kelp
- Weight loss solution for the significantly overweight
- Generic pills allow a price break
- Contains a significant amount of caffeine
- No FDA approval
- Website does not publish ingredients
Leptopril does not make any exercise recommendations for consumers.CONCLUSION
Just like with prescription medicine, it's nice that a less expensive generic-brand is available. Leptopril can be found for about half the price of the name-brand version, and has all of the same results. Leptopril is targeted to what they define as severely overweight individuals. However, the ingredients list does not vary far from what many other diet supplements include. There is little product information available and no consumer testimonials available on the product website. Leptopril does not make any exercise or dietary recommendations to follow while taking the pill.Common Misspellings

i just started the diet pills and not to sure about them...when i take my first doze for the day it isnt long before i get extremely tire and very irritable....but after awhile it seem to go away...i haven't seen any change in my appetite or cravings yet either....hope things change and the pills start working for me
So I've been taking these daily for two weeks today and been to the gym for at least 30 minutes on the elliptical or treadmill a day and have lost zero lbs. How long before I see results?
i lost 30 lbs in amont taking this and i ate whatever i wanted and exercised probaly only three times a week. and havent gained any weight since
today is my first day on the pill but i like it so far...think it is going to work on me
I have been taking the pill for about 5 months now so far I don't see any resulte from it. I watch my diet and I do some exercice but so far I have no luck with it.
I alsp tool this pill in 2007 i tost about 25lbs i had the same side effects of feeling sick at times after awhile i stoped taking the pills i was not loosing as i was afirst any way i later got pregnent and gained weight again and a friend of mine had a bottle she had not takn (really she was stick thin so idk why she had bought it n the first place) and gave it to me i noticed the pill was now a different color and didn't seem to feel ne thing so i'm wondering of those who have lost weight what was the color of the pill? I would like to try it again i have tryed eating healthy n have only lost a couple pounds it's frustrating please get back to thank u
I was given the product from a co worker. The first day I got sick to my stomach but after that it went away. I love the product and have seen a lot of weight come off. 3 weeks ago I had a baby and I can now get into pre-baby jeans. Try it for yourself.
I been taking them about 3 weeks and Ive been having suicidal thoughts, severe depression and i actually thinking of admitting myself to a mental facility. I think i need to drink more water. I am just looking to loose belly weight so far i havent seen anything significant i mean i do feel a little more loose in my clothes. im going to gulp down a wholel ike 2 litter of water and see what happens
I have lost 100 pounds in 10 months using Leptopril, exercise and eating properly. I believe it has helped me stay focused and given me more energy, which allows me to lose more because everything I do is at a little faster pace.
I have been taking the pill for 3 wks. I have not been jittery or sick to my stomach. I haven't had the luck with it making me not hungry, I still want to eat I just dont. I have lost 14 lbs and the only side effect i have noticed is i am peeing like crazy!!!!
I've been taking it for about 4 months and have lost over 70 pounds. It is the best way for people who struggle with weight loss
I have been on this for a week and I have already lost a pant size. I am sensitive to a lot of caffeine so I have been taking one pill with lunch and one with dinner instead of two during each meal. I barely have any appetite, and it's really helping me not to overeat! The side effects suck. I have been somewhat jittery, and have had some nausea, however, after a few days, I am getting used to it! Good luck!
i have been trying to lose wt for about the last 4 yrs since my hernia surgery when they messed up my legs i gained a hundred pounds in 3 months an ive been trying to lose it every since then i have went from 415 to 380 in the last two yrs from walking i walk 6 an a half miles every other day i cant do it every day because the legs knot up on me so they have to have a one day break i also work out on the days i walk an do crunches . but i have been stuck at 370 to 380 for the last 4 months now so i thought i would give this a shot tonight is the first night i have taken 2 pills going to try it for a week or two an see what i feel like i hope this helps the wt drop off.
so far i have taken it for 2 weeks no real side effects besides the jittery hands. but that has went away so i am doing fine. it does suppress appetite. i find myself not feeling hungry for the whole day.
I like it so far...I have been taking it since wed of last week and it is now Sun. I have lost almost three pounds, but I have been using my wii fit for 3 days a week and for 30 min each time and watching my diet as well. I will continue to take this to hopefully keep seeing results! Side effects have been small and usually go away if you drink enough water. Lots of water is the key!
First I want to make a comment in regards to some of the comments that have been posted. How can you tell that you don't like it after a day or two? Really? It takes approx 2 weeks for any kind of rx medicine to have an affect on your body and any dr will tell you that.
I personally have been taking this otc med for 3 weeks and love it. I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago and haven't been able to lose a single pound since, even with me working out 5 days a week. However since I've been taking this pill I've lost 10 lbs and have been working out 3 times a week. I've gone from a sz 18 to a sz 13. And still losing! I will definetly keep buying this product.
First day, was fine all day, but with 2nd dose at dinner I thought I was going to throw up. So I looked up these reviews. The majority seem positive so I'm gonna try to stick with it.
1st day made me a little sick but nothing major,sleepy today....2nd day still a little sick, very tired feel like a walking sombie had to take a half hour nap then i did not sleep at all last night my mind was going a hundred miles a minute....3rd day even with no sleep i dont feel to bad not even sick today. plus i lost 2.5lbs but i work out an hour every day so i dont know if its that or the pills! well i will try to keep you posted with my progress. good luck to everyone!!!
This is my second day taking this pill and i already don't like it. I am 28.5 pounds overweight and the only thing that this pill does for me is it gives me a significant amount of ENERGY WITH NAUSEA AND JITTERS. It does not supress my appetite and anything else. I only reccomend this pill for energy use only.
I have been on this pill for about 1 1/2 weeks now. When I first started I forgot my bottle at home and was not able to take it at work so I had a major caffeine headache. Don't want to do that again, got a bottle for work too. I have lost 11 pounds over the past month total with dieting and adding Leptopril now. I had lost about 6 pounds prior to leptopril. I have not had any other bad side effects from these pills to date. It may just be a mind thing to keep on taking them but whatever works for me, or you. If it is all in the mind I will take that too.

Monday Night Football might be over but my picture of the week continues on. This week we have the Comay Bladedrive G24, a product you can read a full review of in a few days.
With four LSI SandForce SF-2281 controllers and 512GB of Toshiba 19nm flash, the Bladedrive takes 'All in One' RAID to a new level. Unlike other products in category, Corerise didn't use a Marvell or LSI controller. What RAID controller did they use, well you'll just have to wait and see in the full review.
We will give you a taste of the performance though before signing off.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Post to the Host
Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
Sitting Around the Campfire
July 14, 2009 | 1 Comment
Hi GK,
I'm curious as to what person(s)(living and not so much)you would like to sit around the campfire with drinking iced chamomile tea.
Also, thank you for the deep joy.
Take care,
Melissa M
Living: Brave adventurous young women of the biking/backpacking ilk who have seen some of the world close up, on foot, and have stories to tell about it. They didn't just Google New York, or Jerusalem, or Finland, they went and walked around and met people willy-nilly and had small encounters that loom large in the retelling. I've had my chance to talk, and I have listened to all of the third-hand opinions I need to hear tell me what you saw and did I am all ears.
Not So Much: all of my dead uncles and aunts I have a thousand questions for them that never got brought up at family reunions and Thanksgivings: why were we the way we were, so suspicious of Outsiders, so quick to judge, so formal with each other? why didn't grandma ever hug me? why did I never tell you how much I love you? And tell me about those moments of intense longing that led you to marry each other and produce us.

I'm cutting, stacking and gathering as we write.
The stories get to rolling as the embers glow and yes, exploring those questions. Let's write down a few and put them to music.
Please consider the hinterlands, say in August or Sept...when the meteor showers are at their best.
The smoked salmon will be ready by then too!

Drinking Game: Nebraska 2012
There are plenty of things to hate in the Big Ten. Those pukes who border us on the west. Those ass-rats that call themselves wolverines. That scumbag coach at ________ (fill in the blank- Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan State…)
But none of those jerks cheated the greatest offense of all time out of a national championship via the sympathy train. Ok, maybe some did since it just so happens that said train rode through Ohio on a 4-0 vote. Hey Brutus, 63-14!!!!!
At least we're still not bitter, right?

Talk about your fifty shades of grey. Eight months await before novelist E.L. James' steamy romance hits the big screen, but today our greys arrive courtesy of exceptional documentarian Rachel Boynton. And they're the stuff of ethicists' dreams… or nightmares.
"Big Men" brings us the account and aftermath of the 2007 discovery of the Jubilee field, a massive oil deposit off the coast of Ghana and the first such discovery in that country's history. This thing could pump four billion dollars out of the sea and into the air of one of the poorest places on the planet.
And it was discovered essentially by three men, the principals of a small Dallas-based exploration concern by the name of Kosmos Energy. Three men who [used/retained the services of] a local liaison to gain audience with the Ghanaian monarch and government, who [struck a sweet deal/negotiated a mutually beneficial business arrangement] with said elements to develop the field, and who found themselves [under vicious unfounded attack by/receiving the righteous wrath of] a populace who [mistakenly/unreasonably] expected the discovery to pump the [lion's share/proceeds] of its prosperity into the Ghanaian economy.
See, the Ghanaians don't feel they fared so well when they were known as residents of the Gold Coast, and our Texan explorers seem to be looking a lot like the British Empire. Are the Ghanaians gun-shy, or are they wise?
I live on America's "Third Coast" in Houston, Texas, having arrived here during the oil boom of the early 1980s; I was too young to grasp the fullness of what was going on, but the energy of the city was electric. Sitting on the beaches of Galveston, I would gaze in wonder at the oil rigs on the horizon and marvel at the story behind them, whatever that may be. How is it that such things even exist, and what goes on - in myriad literal detail - that they come to be there, in that spot, right now?
Well, "Big Men" shows us what goes on.
Director Rachel Boynton was granted early and striking access to the unfolding of events, bringing us into the Kosmos offices just after the discovery was made and it had secured the financial backing to proceed, but before development (i.e., drilling) had begun. Thus we get a rare and remarkable glimpse inside the arrangements, the planning, the wrangling, and the fallout of a multi-billion dollar deal.
Exploring heights and depths, sharks and Darwinism, social justice and just dealing, Boynton paints the picture of the Jubilee field in all its truth and consequence with a brush so dispassionate we cannot help but come away pulling for those we're inclined to despise and questioning those we customarily support.
Does "Big Men" sound a clarion call for change, or does it more resemble an Animal Planet portrayal of survival in the wild? Is it a portrait of power stewarded, power abused, or power shaking out into a natural order?
Does it exhort us to grant the greys of the complexities involved, or does it exclaim, in the words of Jack Ryan to Robert Ritter, "Not black and white! Right. And. Wrong!" And if the latter, who's which?
In following this raging and intriguing four-year battle, Rachel Boynton gives us what we need to answer that.
The Jubilee field is chugging, right now, as we speak. What say you?
Story: A glimpse inside the international dynamics and power plays surrounding a small Dallas-based company's discovery of a massive oil field off the coast of Ghana in 2007, which could pump four billion dollars out of the sea and into the air of one of the poorest places on the planet.

HOUSTON (AP) - The Texans are the NFL's most penalized team and penalties cost them a victory Sunday against Buffalo.
Back-to-back major penalties at a key moment in the fourth quarter helped the Bills overcome a Houston lead and propel Buffalo to a 31-24 win.
"The most frustrating thing to me about today's performance was the penalties," coach Dom Capers said. "You've got to keep your poise and your composure."
Linebacker Jay Foreman's personal foul for taunting was particularly crucial.
The Texans (1-4) had just scored with 14:10 left in the game, taking a 24-17 lead on a halfback pass from James Allen to tight end Billy Miller and the Houston defense on the ensuing series had stopped the Bills (3-3) on third down at the Buffalo 34 when Foreman lost his cool.
"I take full responsibility," Foreman said. "I shouldn't have done that. I'm not even that kind of person or player... I don't know what happened and I don't know why. I still can't believe it. That was a selfish play. I feel real bad."
Instead of punting on fourth down, the Bills got a free 15 yards and a first down on the Buffalo 49.
"The last two weeks we've had 56 guys working hard and then a stupid bonehead play on my part helps them score and that's the touchdown that ties it," Foreman said. "It was a big point in the game. We'd stopped them finally on third down. It was stupid."
Bills 31, Texans 24
Star: Bills' QB Drew Bledsoe goes 19-of-33 with 2 TD passes.
Records: Houston falls to 1-4; Buffalo moves to 3-3.
Then on the next play, Foreman was called for another personal foul and another 15 yards for grabbing the face mask of Bills running back Travis Henry. Four plays later, Drew Bledsoe connected with Eric Moulds for a 23-yard TD pass.
"I had him by the shoulder pads," Foreman said. "I wasn't trying to be cheap or anything."
It was the first of two touchdown passes in the final 10:39 for Bledsoe, the NFL's leading passer, who got some running help from Henry's 159 yards.
Bledsoe broke the tie with 3:55 remaining with on a 26-yard TD strike to Peerless Price, who caught the ball, did a back-step and ran past safety Matt Stevens.
"We've just got to make sure we continue focused and become a more disciplined team," said Capers, whose team came into Sunday's game with 43 penalties totaling 303 yards, then added another 11 for 75 more yards Sunday.
Bledsoe completed 19 of 33 passes for 254 yards, his lowest output of the season. Price led the Bills with eight catches for 121 yards. Moulds didn't catch a pass until the third quarter and finished with four for 56 yards. He had caught at least eight passes in each of Buffalo's first five games this season.
The Texans had a chance in the final minute until a fourth-down pass from David Carr to Jermaine Lewis in the end zone was batted away by Antoine Winfield with 35 seconds left.
Carr had directed the Texans to a 17-10 halftime lead, but Bledsoe brought the Bills back in the third quarter. A 23-yard run by Henry, who broke three tackles en route to the end zone, tied it 17-17.
Henry's fumble and a personal foul against Price gave Houston the ball at the Buffalo 8 before Allen's touchdown pass to Miller. It was the first pass thrown by anyone other than Carr this season and Allen's first career attempt.
The Texans were more than equal to Buffalo's offense in the first half. Carr completed a 26-yard touchdown pass to rookie Jabar Gaffney and ran 17 yards for another score, the first TD rushing for Houston this season.
Kris Brown's 26-yard field goal helped the Texans lead 17-10 at the half.
After a slow start, Bledsoe got the Bills going in the second quarter. Mike Hollis kicked a 33-yard field goal and a 35-yard pass to Price set up Henry's 1-yard TD run.
Carr and Corey Bradford attacked the Bills from the opening drive with an 81-yard pass play to the Buffalo 9. Bradford got a step on safety Pierson Prioleau, who caught Bradford from behind. The catch was the longest in Bradford's career and the third-longest by an expansion team. Kris Brown then kicked a 26-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.
"We had a shot at it," said Carr, who completed 12 of 23 pass attempts for 218 yards.
He also was sacked five times for 26 yards in losses.
"I think our whole team offensively probably played our best game. There was no indecision... We just came up short at the end. We were in position to win the football game, Carr said."
"What is going to disappoint us is to know we took ourselves out of it," said safety Eric Brown. "Things that we did made it possible for them to win. That's what hurts."

Player of the Day: Colin Suggett
60's forward in the spotlight.
Colin Suggett made 93 appearances in three seasons on Wearside between 1966 and 1969 before becoming the first Sunderland player to move for a six-figure sum when he joined West Bromwich Albion for £100,000.
After impressing for Chester-Le-Street schoolboys alongside Howard Kendall, Suggett become a teenage star earning a reputation for both pace and his ability to score goals.
The Washington-born inside-forward was also full of creativity and was a regular provider of opportunities for team-mates over his career.
Suggett's Sunderland debut came at Stoke City towards the end of the 1966-67 season as Ian McColl's side preserved their top-flight status – his first goal followed five games later in a 3-1 defeat at Fulham.
In his first full season, Suggett's 15-goal return, three of which came in games against Newcastle United, was more than any other Sunderland player whilst he also failed to miss a game in any competition – a further sign of his impeccable fitness record.
A similarly consistent campaign followed with Suggett scoring nine goals to lead the club's scoring charts for a second consecutive campaign.
However Sunderland found the lure of a £100,000 record bid for Suggett's services from West Brom too much as he departed for the Midlands.
Suggett converted from inside forward to midfield on the back of his move to the Midlands and he spent four years at the Hawthorns before Norwich City broke their transfer record to take him to Norfolk.
He helped Norwich to promotion in 1974-75 and was voted as the Canaries' Player of the Year on the back of that success.
Colin returned to the north-east to play for Newcastle United at the end of his career before he spent a long coaching career in the game.

Jenny Mollen just freaked out Howard Stern, and that's no easy task.
The author, actress and wife of "Orange Is the New Black" star Jason Biggs appeared on Monday's Howard Stern Show to talk about hiring a hooker for her husband, having sex with her stepbrother and other outrageous true stories from her new memoir "I Like You Just the Way I Am" which hit bookstores Tuesday.
Inspired by a series of essays Mollen first wrote for Playboy's "The Smoking Jacket," the book chronicles Mollen's bizarre, desperate and hilarious attempts to find love and approval after surviving a traumatic childhood, disillusionment with Hollywood and the ultimate kiss of death for any narcissist: marrying the famous actor guy who had sex with the pie.
Stern has interviewed some of the most outrageous personalities in pop culture history, but even he was blown away by Mollen's stories of growing up with a mother who insisted she get a fake ID at age 15 so she could "hang out" without cramping her mom's style.
"When I hear about your life, it's pretty wild," Stern told Mollen.
But the ultimate endorsement came when Mollen told Stern about the time she sent an anonymous message to her sister saying "You were molested" with a photo of their toothless grandfather holding Mollen's sibling lovingly on his lap.
"Oh my God," said Stern. "You have some warped sense of humor."
Mollen told Stern that her memoir of lewd exploits stemmed both from her lack of respect for social mores as well as her drive to make her husband and everyone else around her uncomfortable. The actress, who recently appeared on "Girls" and "Wilfred," says her decision to hire a hooker for Biggs' birthday was inspired more by her husband's apprehension than anything else.
"The thrill [was] really making him do something he [didn't] want to do. I mean, that's what's exciting to me…If he wanted to do it I think I'd be over it."
"This is where either she's got a screw loose or she's the greatest woman on the planet," said Stern.
As if getting called "wild" by the King of All Media wasn't intense enough, Stern said he found Mollen's persona so fascinating that he might even be willing to take a break from staring at a wall to crack open a book:
"I might have to read your book," said Stern. "It seems like there's something interesting going on there."
"I Like You Just the Way I Am" is available from Amazon.com and the handful of brick-and-mortar bookstores your toothless grandfather still shops at.

No. 37 Texas Tech Upsets No. 26 Louisville, 4-2
March 20, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas - Freshman Jolan Cailleau is growing up fast.
For the second consecutive match, Cailleau clinched the victory for Texas Tech, as the No. 37 Red Raiders upended No. 26 Louisville, 4-2, at the McLeod Tennis Center.
"I cannot say enough about JoJo (Cailleau)," said Red Raider head coach Tim Siegel. "Twice in one week he has clinched the match for us in the third set. He survived two match points today. He is coming into his own."
Cailleau, who won his fifth straight match at No. 6, improved to 14-5 on the season, but it wasn't easy.
Playing against Louisville's Michael Lippens, Cailleau lost the first set, 6-1, but recovered to take the second set, 6-3. Lippens jumped out to a 5-3 lead in the third, but the Texas Tech freshman held serve to cut the third to 5-4. Lippens twice had match point in sight, but Cailleau got it to deuce and followed with a pair of rallies to tie the match, 5-5.
Cailleau then had the momentum, as he served to go up, 6-5 and then jumped on Lippens to lead 40-15. Lippens won the next point, before Cailleau hit the winner.
"I think the big thing was the leadership we got out of Felipe (Soares) and Hugo (Dojas) at No. 1 and No. 2," added Siegel. "That really made the difference. This is the best we have played as a team all season."
The day started with Louisville taking the doubles point, but not without a contested effort from the Red Raiders. At No. 2, the Cardinals' Albert Wagner and Chris Simich topped Carlos DiLaura and Johann Willems, 8-2. But soon after, Tech's Soares and Dojas dispatched Sebastian Stiefelmeyer and Van Damrongsri, 8-2, at No. 1.
That left the match's first point to be decided at No. 3. Louisville's Alex Gornet and Jeffrey Brown jumped out to a 4-1 lead on Texas Tech's Maxime Hinnisdaels and Francisco Zambon, but the Tech duo won four of the next five games to tie the set at 5-5. The two tandems then traded serve, making it 6-6. Louisville got the break at 7-6 and won the match on serve to give the Cardinals the first point of the day.
Hinnisdaels made the lead short-lived, as the Texas Tech freshman cruised past Luis Elizondo at No. 5, 6-1, 6-1, to tie the match, 1-1. Soares then used a straight-set win over Wagner, 6-3, 6-2 at No. 1.
Louisville tied the match, 2-2, after Simich held off Willems, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1, at No. 4.
No. 101 Dojas jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first, only to see Stiefelmeyer battle back to tie it 5-5. Dojas then picked up the break and served for the first set victory, 7-5. The Texas Tech sophomore quickly took the lead in the second set en route to a 7-5, 6-3 victory at No. 2, giving Texas Tech a 3-2 lead with two matches on the court.
Cailleau and Zambon were each locked in battle, but Zambon was knotted with Gornet, 4-6, 7-5, 2-2 when the match was abandoned after Cailleau's heroics.
Texas Tech will now return to action on March 29, when the Red Raiders host No. 73 Denver at 1 p.m. at the McLeod Tennis Center.
#37 Texas Tech 4, #26 Louisville 2

If you have ever had an ingrown toenail, you know how aggravating, irritating and downright painful they can be. Coping with an ingrown toenail takes some patience but with a few maintenance tips, the sufferer can be pain free in a relatively short period of time.
First of all, be sure to learn how to trim toenails properly. Many people make the mistake of cutting their toenails too short or at a rounded angle. An ingrown toenail happens when the corner of the nail grows into the flesh of the toe.
A toe nail cut straight across, above the toe line will not become an ingrown toenail. People with naturally curved nails are more susceptible to getting an ingrown toenail and should be very careful to cut toenails properly.
An improperly cut toenail should be filed smooth to discourage it from becoming an ingrown toenail. Use an emery board for this task. A metal file can cut or damage skin. File at the surface of the nail, rather than getting too close to skin.
If you do get an ingrown toenail, there some over the counter medicines that can help. These will soften both the ingrown toenail and the skin around it. People with diabetes should not use these medications as they could cause disease complications.
If you are more the natural cure type, an ingrown toenail may also be treated by soaking the affected area in warm water. This will effectively soften the ingrown toenail and the surrounding tissue it has penetrated as well.
After soaking, try placing a tiny piece of cotton gauze between the ingrown toenail and the toe. Avoid using a sharp object to do this. This method will provide pain relief by taking the pressure off the toe. Sterilize the cotton with an antiseptic such as hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection.
Wearing proper footwear can prevent an ingrown toenail. Avoid narrow toed and stiff shoes. Opt for square toed comfortable shoes. Be sure there is ample room for the toes and that toes are not forced together. Go without shoes in the home to prevent and treat an ingrown toenail.
If an ingrown toenail becomes infected, see a doctor right away. Don't try to treat it yourself. Infection can spread and cause gangrene and other medical problems. Diabetes should be especially careful about treating and ingrown toenail. Some doctors suggest they have their nails professionally cut in the doctor's office.

Performance (speed)
The Olympus Tough TG-2 does not disappoint in the performance department. It starts up in less than a second, and can take a photo a fraction of a second later.
Autofocus is extremely quick by compact camera standards. In good light and at wide-angle, the camera locks focus virtually instantaneously. When the lens is at the telephoto position, focus times are still well under a second. Even in low light - where many compact cameras struggle - the TG-2 keep focus acquisition speed under a second, regardless of the focal length.
You'll wait for just one second before you can take another photo. Adding the flash into the mix increases this delay to three seconds.
The TG-2 also offers impressive continuous shooting performance for a compact camera, with the ability to take up to 100 shots at a blazing 5.4 fps. If you don't mind lowering the resolution to 3 megapixel, you can shoot at 15 or 60 frames/second, which produces high-speed and slow-motion videos (respectively) when played back at normal speed.
The good news continues when you look at the TG-2's battery life. The camera, powered by a 4.6Wh battery, is rated at 350 shots using the CIPA standard, which is very good for this class. We were able to get through a day (or more) without issue. Do note that using the GPS - especially the tracking function - will decrease battery life considerably. The battery is charged internally, using an AC-to-USB adapter.
Image Quality
On land, the TG-2's photo quality is more than acceptable for a compact camera. Exposure was accurate though, like most compacts, the TG-2 will clip highlights at times. Colors are really 'punchy', which is a trademark of Olympus cameras. Photos are on the soft side - possibly due to the folded optics design - though you won't notice unless you're viewing them at 100%. There's some luminance noise at low ISOs, and the TG-2 tends to smudge fine detail in areas of high frequency and low contrast. You will encounter some chromatic aberration on the TG-2, though normally it's not a big problem.
As is usually the case, image quality goes downhill as the sensitivity increases. The TG-2 does a respectable job at ISO 800, which you can still use for smaller-sized prints and web viewing. ISO 1600 is still usable if there's enough light, but if it's dark outside (as in the example below), it's best avoided. There's very little detail left at ISO 3200, so using this sensitivity isn't recommended.
One option for reducing highlight clipping is to use the camera's HDR mode. This takes three photos in a row - one at normal exposure, a second under-exposed, and a third over-exposed - and layers them together into a single image with more balanced contrast.
Low Light, High ISO
|At ISO 800, there's a fair amount of detail loss, as some noise on the carpet that gives the appearance of false color. Still, it's perfectly usable for most purposes.
ISO 800, 1/30 sec, f/2.0
It's worth mentioning that the TG-2's fast lens means that it won't need to increase the sensitivity as quickly as a camera with a slower lens (meaning most other rugged cameras). This is only true at wide-angle, though, as the lens isn't nearly as 'fast' at telephoto.
When you take the TG-2 underwater, you'll be pretty impressed. Not so much by the level of detail (photos can be a little noisy at ISO 200, which is the setting the TG-2 reaches for most, in our experience), but by the complete lack of a color cast, which plagues other cameras in this class. The TG-2's fast lens also allows for faster shutter speeds at lower sensitivities compared to underwater cameras with slower lenses. And you'll need those fast shutter speeds to cast those incredibly quick fish.
The TG-2 impressed us with its underwater white balance. Where many of its peers had noticeable bluish casts, the photos from the Olympus required no post-capture color adjustment.
ISO 200, 1/320 sec, f/6.3
For more sample photos and analysis, please read our full review of the Olympus Tough TG-2.
Video Quality
As mentioned on the previous page, the Olympus Tough TG-2 can record video at 1920 x 1080 (30 fps) for up to twenty-four minutes. Below are three samples, taken both above and below sea level.
Sample Video 1
The first video shows off a rather strange (not to mention annoying) issue that we found with the TG-2. When panning, the image starts to get wobbly and choppy, which we attribute to the sensor-shift IS system going 'crazy'. We were able to replicate this problem several times.
|1920 x 1080, 30p, 20 Mbps, 31.2 MB, 12 secs Click here to download original video
As you can see, it's not a very desirable effect.
Sample Video 2
Our final sample video takes place a few feet underwater, where the author is chasing after a tropical fish. This video is wobbly as well, though that's due more to the photographer moving around to keep the fish in the frame than anything.
|1920 x 1080, 30p, 20 Mbps, 24.8 MB, 10 secs Click here to download original video
The most impressive part of this video is that - like the still photos - there's no color cast to be found. You might as well turn off audio recording underwater, as there's nothing worth hearing.
Final Thoughts
There's a lot to like about the Olympus Tough TG-2. It has one of the most rugged bodies on the market, and it's lens is faster than most of its peers, at least at wide-angle. It offers several feature you won't find on your typical rugged camera, including wireless flash control, an aperture priority mode, support for conversion lenses and filters, and a unique 'tap control' feature. The TG-2 has a full-featured GPS feature, complete with a compass, depth/altitude gauge, landmarks, and a fairly useless map.
Performance is very good and battery life is strong. Photo quality is good for its class, though images are on the soft side, and chromatic aberrations can be strong at times. We were, however, quite impressed with the TG-2's underwater image quality, which lacked the blue/green color cast of all of its peers.
Aside from image quality, there aren't too many other negatives to bring up about the TG-2. While its OLED display looks great indoors, outdoor visibility is quite poor. And, as with most compact cameras, the flash is very weak. Finally, the videos produced by the TG-2 have an undesirable "wobbly" effect.
Overall, the Olympus TG-2 is a solid choice for outdoor enthusiasts or divers. Its biggest problem is undoubtedly the visibility of its OLED display, so be sure to try before you buy.

During the 19th century, beekeepers sought to turn raising bees into an industry. They searched for new methods to get bigger yields from honeybees. They found many tricks to do that but one in particular affected the bees' home.
Beekeepers began using new homes for the bees. These have a foundation for the hives. The foundation is prefabricated combs made of wax, recycled beeswax or plastic. This practice began in 1857 but it was mass-produced by 1876. The use of a foundation was heavily promoted. It is now a standard bee keeping equipment.
Foundation is believed to be beneficial for the bees and the beekeepers. It strengthens the comb and it ensures that the combs will always be straight. It makes extracting honey a lot easier. It prevents construction of drone combs. Finally, a foundation let's the bees go on foraging continually instead of making and repairing combs. Through this reasoning, they thought to make bees produce more honey.
It seems to be a net gain for bees and beekeepers both but it's not so simple. There are disadvantages to foundation beekeeping. It's expensive is the most economic reason. It can become hard to manage. It interferes with the bees' own combs. Lastly, the creation of foundations uses potentially nasty chemicals. Recycled beeswax, unlike fresh ones, absorbs chemicals readily. As foundations are used year after year, the chemicals can really build up.
To sum up the disadvantages, foundations are against the principles of organic beekeeping. The potential for chemical build-up and the interference with the bees' natural flow does not fit. Raising bees in a foundation seem like wasted effort. A bee can make his own comb without interference, thank you very much. Some colonies ignore the foundation itself. It doesn't impact a bee's foraging because a worker bee's task changes according to age. It doesn't forage until it's about 22 days old. Bees that aren't creating or fixing will do another task instead of foraging.
Organic beekeeping prefers foundationless hives. There are no chemical contaminations, just plain wood. Bees still need to be guided when creating combs but it doesn't have to be a foundation. A simple beveled top bar, or an appropriately placed Popsicle stick, is enough for bees. They'll make the rest without any help. Bees can build their own combs faster than building with a foundation. While bees can mess up a foundationless hive, they can mess a foundation hive just as many times. The main drawback to foundationless hives is that the beekeeper must make sure that the beeswax is strong before pulling it out of a hive box. Pulling out soft honeycomb can damage the hive.
Beginners who want to go straight to organic beekeeping are advised to get used to foundationless hives. It'll be easier because no old habits are interfering.

UCLA Game Notes - Tennessee (Game 9)
Saturday, Dec. 17
2 p.m. PT - UCLA vs. Tennessee
Online Coverage: Gametracker | Audio | Video
UCLA (5-3) had a three-game win streak snapped in a 58-41 setback at LSU on Tuesday and will look to bounce back on Saturday when it takes on sixth-ranked Tennessee (6-2) at 2 p.m. in the sold out John Wooden Center. Former Bruin and current L.A. Sparks player Noelle Quinn will be on hand for a post-game autograph session. The contest can be seen live online at UCLABruins.com.
The Bruins will hit the road again for a pair of games in Philadelphia, PA on Dec. 20 (Temple) and Dec. 22 (St. Joseph's) before breaking for the holidays.
UCLA welcomed back junior Markel Walker to the lineup at LSU, but it was not enough to overcome the stingy defense of the Tigers. Walker, who had been recovering from off-season thumb surgery, was the lone Bruin in double digits with 11 points.
Through the first eight games of the season, senior Rebekah Gardner has emerged as the team's leading scorer with a 15.5 ppg mark. Junior Atonye Nyingifa tops the Bruin rebounders with a 9.6 average and also sports a 15.3 scoring average.
Rebekah Gardner has three games with at least 20 points and had a streak of six games in a row with double figures stopped at LSU. Gardner, who has led the Bruins in scoring in four of eight contests to date, posted her first-career double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds against Tennessee Tech on Nov. 13. The senior was also named to the Preseason WNIT and Holiday Inn Thanksgiving Basketball Classic All-Tournament teams.
Atonye Nyingifa is averaging close to a double-double (15.3 ppg/9.6 rpg). Her first two double-doubles of the season came in the Preseason WNIT, as she had 16 points and 12 rebounds against McNeese State (Nov. 11) and 16 points and a career-high 14 boards versus Tennessee Tech. She added another double-double against Colgate with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Nyingifa has six double-figure scoring games this season.
Sophomore guard Thea Lemberger is fourth in ppg at 9.8 and is the team leader with 24 assists. She has posted five double-figure scoring games. Lemberger had a career-best 15 at LMU, 10 v. McNeese State, 12 versus Tennessee Tech, 11 at Baylor and 11 against Colgate.
Off the bench, freshman Moriah Faulk has produced at least five points in six games, including a career-best 11 at LMU, 10 against McNeese State and Baylor and six versus West Virginia and Colgate. She is first on the squad with 12 three-pointers, including 11 in her last six games, and is averaging 7.4 ppg.
Rhema Gardner, along with her sister, Nyingifa and Lemberger, has started all eight games. She is averaging 6.0 ppg and 4.1 rpg. Rhema had a career-high 18 points against McNeese State and pulled down a personal-best 10 rebounds against Colgate.
Mariah Williams has started six times this season and is second on the squad with 22 assists and is averaging 4.6 ppg. She had four assists at LMU, a team-best six against McNeese and four-each versus Tennessee Tech and San Diego State.
Freshman Kacy Swain has started twice, at Baylor and against West Virginia, but left the WVU contest with a concussion. She returned to action at LMU and scored three points with three boards. Swain had nine points off the bench against Tennessee Tech.
Sophomore Corinne Costa is tied with Nyingifa for the team lead with 10 blocks, notching three at Baylor.
Two Bruins, junior Jackie Shepard (shoulder) and freshman Alexis Perry (shoulder), have yet to see action this season as they recover from off-season surgeries. Freshman walk-on Madeline Brooks made her collegiate debut against Colgate, playing four minutes and recording one offensive rebound. She had two points at LMU.
Senior Jasmine Dixon ruptured her Achilles tendon in September and is likely to miss the season, while senior transfer Alyssia Brewer (Tennessee) will redshirt in '11-'12 and play her final season next year.
UCLA's lone win in the series came in Knoxville, TN on Jan. 3, 1981 by a score of 65-62. Eight of Tennessee's 17 wins in the series have come in Los Angeles and one was on a neutral court. The Lady Vols have captured the last 14 meetings.
Tennessee is coming off of a 67-61 win at 11th-ranked Rutgers on Dec. 13. Shekinna Stricklen tops the Lady Vols with a 16.9 scoring average. The 6-2 senior also leads the team with 13 steals and is second on the team with an 8.8 rebounding mark.
The Lady Vols are coached by Pat Summitt, who is in her 38th season at the helm and has captured eight NCAA championships and 31 Southeastern Conference tournament and regular season championships. The all-time winningest coach in the college game with 1,077 victories to date, she played on the 1976 U.S. Olympic team and was the coach of the 1984 U.S. Olympic squad. Tennessee has made 30 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament and produced 12 Olympians during her tenure.
UCLA is 10-30 all-time against teams in the Southeastern Conference.

Holder and quarterback Mike Reilly leaving the team... "Mike Reilly decided to leave the football team. He will transfer at the end of the semester. He wanted a better chance to play. He is a great kid and we love him. We wish him the best. Alex Brink has worked as the holder in the spring and all fall. Kyle Basler will work as the backup." The kicking game... "Right now we are still in a little bit of a battle. Loren Langley might have a little bit of an edge, especially on short field goals and extra points. He has great height on his kicks. He gets the ball up quickly. It's a great situation to have. We might wait and see how they warm up Friday. Graham Siderius will kick off. He is also the backup punter. When Graham kicks off, he is also another tackler." New Mexico's defense... "They are a lot like we are. They have a great linebacker back (Nick Speegle). They lost something like seven of their top eight defensive linemen, and we lost a lot of our guys up front. They have two starting corners back. I don't think they are going to change their scheme a whole lot. It's an excellent scheme and very difficult to run against. They mix their linebackers, bring them in and twist them. The only thing good about opening with them is we get a couple of extra days to prepare our offense to pick up their blitzes and schemes." Players ready to play somebody else... "Our kids psychologically want to play against somebody else. We have had 41 practices, if you count spring, where we have been going against each other. Whether they are ready to play somebody else, I'm not sure. I'm ready to go and see them play somebody else, I know that." Cutting down on penalties... "They are really going to be sticky about celebration penalties. Any kind of a pose or fraternity sign is going to get flagged. We put striped shirts on our managers and had our kids hand the ball to them after the play. I've been the highest-paid head linesmen in the country. I stand on the sideline and make sure guys are on the line. Those are simple things we want to eliminate, penalties before the snap and after the whistle." Officials announcing the offending player's number on penalties in 2004... "They do it in every other sport. I think it's fine. There is a difference of opinion. You want the rules in college football to stay the same and officials in Division III don't have microphones to announce those numbers. But at least I know that the official is sure who jumped offside because they have to come up with a number." Gambling nature of New Mexico's defense... "It's a big play defense both ways. They will make big plays and we were able to make some big plays last year. It's similar to our defense. It will be exciting." On true freshman defensive tackle Ropati Pitoitua making his first start... "I would assume that they will try to run right at him. I think they will test the line to see how well we can defend the run. They do a great job with play action passes and they are a great screen team. They run a hundred different screens." Linebacker Steve Dildine... "Dildine and Pat Bennett will probably share time at that linebacker position. He has some potential. He has great speed. He can run and makes plays. I expect him to probably be offsides on a blitz and I expect him to miss a tackle or two, but he is a unique young man. He is a former BMX bike racer, he is a little bit crazy, and that's what it takes to be a good linebacker. He is the guy that hit Allen Thompson on the play in practice and sent him into Never Never Land. He can deliver a punch."
