Tay Willis returned a kick 92-yards for a TD against Missouri State last season.
By Tom Weber
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Southern Illinois University wide receiver Tay Willis may be the fastest player to ever wear a Saluki football jersey.
When he was a freshman at Highland Community College, Willis was tested in the 40-yard dash. As soon as he crossed the finish line, the coaches huddled together and looked at each others' stopwatches in disbelief. "Son, you just ran a 4.14," one coach told him. Thinking they had made a mistake, the staff clocked him again with a handheld laser. This time it registered a blazing 4.26. For comparison, the fastest time ever recorded at the NFL Combine was a 4.24 by Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson.
At 5-foot-9 and 169-pounds, the Newnan, Ga. native is built for speed. During practice on Monday, the 22-year-old senior blew past a defensive back in man coverage for an easy touchdown. "That's not fair, Tay," the defender barked at him afterward.
Once he hits high gear, you're not going to catch Willis from behind. Missouri State found that out last year after Willis returned a kickoff 92 yards for a score.
"I love returning kicks," Willis said. "You have 11 guys running at you full speed, but if you can make one or two guys miss, and you get good blocking, you have a chance to take it to the house."
In an effort to tap into his breakaway speed more often this year, the coaching staff moved Willis from running back to wideout. In fact, that was the original plan last season, but an injury to starting tailback Malcolm Agnew during camp forced the coaches to leave Willis at running back for depth purposes. He wound up touching the football 96 times as either a running back, receiver or return man and his 794 all-purpose yards were fourth-best on the team.
The Salukis were fortunate to land Willis in 2013, because twice he was nearly headed to Southeastern Conference schools. After rushing for more than 2,000 yards and 28 touchdowns as a senior at East Coweta High School, he was going to sign with Mississippi State, but fell one point shy of qualifying on his ACT. Then after two seasons at Highland, he committed to Mississippi, but an issue with his transcript cost him the scholarship. He wound up sitting out the 2012 season before arriving at Southern in the spring of 2013.
The Salukis are hoping Willis' move from running back to wide receiver goes as smoothly as the transition made by LaSteven McKinney, who went through the same process two years. McKinney led the team with 51 catches last year.
"We talk to each other often and LaSteven has been a big help," Willis said. "The hardest thing about playing receiver is running precise routes. I had to take a lot of time working on that this summer."
"The tempo of playing receiver is different, also, and it's gotten me in a lot better shape," he continued. "Some plays I'll run 50 yards down the field and run right back to the huddle and do it all over again."
It's probably not a good idea to bet against Willis. Just ask St. Louis Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree, who played against Willis in high school. "
"Our high schools were arch-rivals, I was the number-two rated running back in the state, and he told the newspaper that I wouldn't get a touchdown and I wouldn't get over 50 yards," Willis recalled. "First play I touched the ball I took it for 60 yards. I finished the game with two touchdowns and over 150 yards."
Since SIU doesn't routinely time its players in the 40-yard dash, we'll have to take Willis' word for it that he's the fastest player on the team. He admits that Agnew and McKinney are not far off the pace, though.
"We have a lot of speed," Willis said. "(Quarterbacks coach) Nick Hill played on some great teams here and he said this team is one of the most talented offenses ever at SIU. I think Saluki fans can look forward to a lot of explosive plays this year."
The Saluki football team practiced in a steady, light rain on Tuesday morning, the third day of training camp.
1. Players wore shoulder pads for the first time and spent a large portion of practice working on the running game. RB Malcolm Agnew was very impressive, displaying good vision to find creases to run through. RB Cameron Walter was also a standout. The redshirt freshman has a knack for pressing the hole and maximizing yardage. He also has a nice burst of speed. With RB Ken Malcome still sidelined with an injury, Walter is making the most of his opportunity.
2. The Salukis have the makings of a solid offensive line. Combined, SIU's offensive linemen have made 74 starts. During spring ball, the Salukis played without LT Ethan Wirth and RG Jake Notario. Both players are back now, and it seemed that many of the better runs today came behind Notario. Tanner Crum is the anchor at center, and Corey Boemer has made a smooth transition to right tackle, after playing guard last year. The only starting spot to be determined is left guard, where Jamarcus Robinson and Kijana Evans are splitting reps with the first team.
3. In the quarterback battle, both Mark Iannotti and Ryan West played well today. Iannotti was decisive and showed a quick release. He connected on deep strikes to WR Tay Willis and WR Kyle Newquist. West delivered a long ball to WR Darrell James and made a perfect toss to WR LaSteven McKinney on a flag route.
4. All-American TE MyCole Pruitt made a couple of nice catches in heavy traffic today. He is a physical specimen at 6-foot-3 and a chiseled 255 pounds, and NFL scouts will keep a close eye on the senior this year.
5. CB Keith Suggs had an interception today and has made several nice plays on the ball during these early days of practice. The Toledo transfer, who played in all 12 games for SIU last year but did not start, will press for a starting job this year.

Wildcats Record Two Wins in MEAC Southern Finale
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 03/03/2013
DURHAM, N.C. - The No. 19 Bethune-Cookman Wildcats went 2-2 on Sunday to conclude their stint at the MEAC Southern Divisional in Durham, N.C. The event was hosted by North Carolina Central at the AMF Durham Lanes.
B-CU head coach Tony O'Neal stated his team was fighting for their MEAC lives following his team's 1-3 effort on the opening day of the two-day event Saturday evening. Appropriately, the Wildcats responded to their coach's call in Sunday's competition.
B-CU went 2-2 on the final day, finishing its final MEAC regular season event with a mark of 3-5 for the weekend. That record allowed them to advance to the upcoming Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Championships scheduled for March 22-24.
"We found a way to get it done and advance to the MEAC Championships," said O'Neal. "I just pray that when we're there that we can be consistent and ready to compete."
On Sunday, the Wildcats took wins from North Carolina A&T and host North Carolina Central, respectively. The losses came to Norfolk State and Florida A&M.
Senior Staci Hilliard was named to the all-tournament team, the sixth of its kind on the year for the native of Port Huron, Mich. That came following her games of 204 and 199 in Traditional games on Saturday.
Bethune-Cookman gets back on the lanes on March 15-17 when the Wildcats travel to the Music City Classic in Smyrna, Tenn. The event host will be Vanderbilt University.

It would take a woman with some ovarian fortitude to wear bright red across a body part that many of us would like to hide, but we think this Monif C. Emme Ponte Knit Arrow Dress ($208) in its navy blue and siren red incarnation would be pretty head turning on the right gal, in the right place, at the right time. The black and white version would be very flattering on just about anyone, but it might be a good idea to pass on the red wine in this one if you're a klutz like us. Either way you go, it's a bold statement for a bold lady.
Oooo I don't like that. It makes me look right at her stomach...
I think the white one really works, is slimming, flattering, etc., but the red bit on the blue one makes her look wide! And depressingly unaware of dressing for body type!
When I first looked at the blue one I wondered why the model was wearing a fat suit! Definitely not flattering. The white one looks fine though.
Hmmm, I don't think there would be a right place or time for the red one. It draws your attention to all the wrong places. Yuck!
The red one shouldn't be a plus sized dress. It would look fine on someone slender. I'm plus size and I'd definitely wear the black and white one, which looks really flattering! The red and navy one might look better if the color placement was reversed.
While I agree that the red and blue one may not be the most flattering dress, Monif C clothing is not for plus size women eager to hide their bodies. It's fashion for feeling bold, beautiful, and confident. The last thing on your mind when you're wearing Monif C is "does this make me look fat?" It's "I cannot wait to walk out in this!" I'm not a "only big girls are beautiful" preacher, but when I see a plus size woman wearing something bold, I think "You go, girl!" not "what was she thinking?" I also think the same way when I see stick figure gals wearing skinny jeans. Wear whatever you want to wear. Especially if it looks as fabulous as Monif C's clothes!
I was thinking pretty much the same thing when I saw this posted. Like, "she looks gorgeous, and she looks like the kind of gal that I'd want to go up to at a party." Then I second guessed my style instincts cuz sometimes I can get out of hand with colors or skirts. Thanks for bringing me back to reality, Mando!
Right on, Mando! I posted this, and although I'm not a plus size gal, I think both of these dresses are fabulous and I'd love to see them on a confident, sassy woman.

SEATTLE – A prolific offensive attack and a block that revved up late powered the third-ranked Huskies to a 3-1 win over a tenacious Cal State Northridge team tonight at Alaska Airlines Arena. Washington had no blocks through the first two sets, but posted eight over the last set and a half to stop the Matadors, 25-13, 21-25, 25-14, 25-21 in front of 1,590 fans. With the win, the Huskies head into the Pac-12 conference schedule with an 8-0 record, and will trek to Washington State next Wednesday for the opener.
Washington hit .341 as a team, holding the Matadors (10-3) to .191. Moving the ball around were setters Jenni Nogueras and Katy Beals; Nogueras finished with her first double-double this season with 26 assists and 10 digs, and Beals was just one dig shy, with 24 assists and nine digs. Sophomore Cassie Strickland also had a double-double with 10 kills and 10 digs, while senior libero Jenna Orlandini had a team-high 13 digs and three aces.
Converting the other end of the sets was junior Krista Vansant, who put down 16 kills and hit .424. Sophomore Lianna Sybeldon matched her career-high with 13 kills, hitting .435, and junior Kaleigh Nelson added nine kills on a .381 attack rate.
Head Coach Jim McLaughlin was happy with the win over a quality opponent, but is looking for greater stability. "At some point consistency becomes the deal," he said. "Game one came easy, too easy, we hit fifty percent and did a good job, then game two we hit eighteen percent. Some of it was self-induced but (Cal State Northridge) is good. They're well-coached, and they played well, dug balls, and they don't make many errors. So to come back and win this thing is a good deal for us."
After collecting four aces last night against Coppin State, Orlandini put UW in the early lead with back-to-back service aces. Vansant then put down her first two kills of the night for a 6-3 advantage. Strickland pushed one deep for a kill in the left corner, and then Nelson connected from the right side for a 10-5 lead and the Matadors called time. A Nogueras ace stretched the lead to seven at 14-7. Nogueras went to her middles for two points, quick setting Sybeldon and then Melanie Wade for kills. Vansant finished a tough rally off the libero and out for an 18-10 advantage which forced Northridge's last timeout. Another 3-0 run on Melanie Wade's serve made it 22-12 Huskies. The last three points would be run off by Sybeldon. Beals tossed a set forward up to the sophomore for a high-powered spike. Then two Nogueras serves were overpassed by the Matadors and Sybeldon leaped up to put each of them away to end the set at 25-13. The Huskies hit a blistering .517 in the first set while Cal State Northridge also hit well at .308. Sybeldon's run at the end of the set got her up to five kills on six swings in the set for a .833 attack percentage.
Sybeldon started the next set with another kill as UW jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but Northridge quickly answered with four straight points to poke in front. Another 3-0 Matadors run earned them a 10-7 lead, but Strickland snapped that with a booming shot through the block, and then another rolled over the defense and down. A Vansant finish and a Northridge error knotted things at 14-all. The Huskies then crept ahead on Kylin Muñoz's first kill of the night and a CSUN error for a 16-15 lead. But the Matadors bounced right back with two to go back in front. Nelson tied it with a right side finish, but an ace from Brooke Dawson made it 17-19 and UW needed timeout. They stretched the lead with two more points before Strickland banged one off the block and down for 18-21. Another Strickland kill and a Nelson shot cut the lead to 20-21 and forced a Northridge timeout. But UW missed serve out of the break, and after a Matadors error, they answered with the final three points, as Nogueras and Sybeldon mistimed a quick attack on set point, ending things at 21-25. The Huskies hit just .176 in the set compared to .270 for Cal State Northridge.
The block of Muñoz and Sybeldon shut down a Matador swing, and then Wade converted in transition followed by an Orlandini ace as the Huskies pushed out 15-12 and forced a Northridge timeout. Out of the break, the block party continued to rage as Wade and Vansant shut down two Casey Hinger swings, and a near block on the next play resulted in a Matadors error around the antenna to extend the run to 18-12 and force the last Matadors timeout. Yet another roof out of the break from Wade and Muñoz kept Orlandini serving, and back to back Vansant transition kills were followed by a Matador miscue for 22-12, before Orlandini finally served wide to end a 10-0 run. The last three points all went to Vansant's right arm, as she finished sets from Nogueras, Beals, and one from Nelson to cap the set, 25-14. All told it was a 13-2 run to end the set. The Huskies hit .379 for the third frame and the five big blocks dropped the Matadors down to .054 on offense. Wade killed all four of her swings and Vansant put away five more.
The rejuvenated block continued early in set four as Muñoz and Vansant got in on stuffs with Sybeldon for a quick 5-1 Husky lead and Northridge timeout. But the Matadors started chipping away and got it down to 8-7 until a Strickland swing and a CSN error made it 10-7 Dawgs. Consecutive put-aways from Sybeldon and Vansant made it 13-9, but Matador pushed back and cut the gap to two points on an ace at 14-12. The Huskies needed a timeout at 15-14 after a bad pass led to a setting error. Beals bumped one around the net post back to Vansant who took a swing and got the kill to the back line on a key play for 16-14. The lead shrunk to one again, but consecutive kills from Nelson and Muñoz made it 20-17, and after a Northridge timeout, an error had the Dawgs up 21-17. UW stumbled, however, making an error and letting an overpass fall for a kill and suddenly it was 21-20 and the Huskies called for time. Out of the break, Vansant had a perfect pass and Nogueras set Muñoz for the clutch kill. A long rally on the next point with several tips was ended when Sybeldon reared back and pummeled one down, and then UW earned match point after Northridge overdug the Strickland serve, and Vansant banged it back down. On the second match point, Nogueras went quick to Sybeldon, and she completed a great night with her 13th kill to end things, 25-21. The Dawgs hit .326 for the final set, with Cal State Northridge at .171, in part thanks to 21 digs from the Husky defense. Vansant and Sybeldon each had five swings in the set, with Muñoz adding four more.
Washington now dives right into Pac-12 play next week with visits to rivals Washington State and Oregon. First up are the Cougars next Wednesday, Sept. 25, in a 7:30 p.m. match airing live on the Pac-12 Network.

It was announced on Tuesday that former Michigan State Spartans football superstar Flozell "The Hotel" Adams will be checking into an area East Lansing hotel of his own on September 18th to accept his nomination into the Michigan State University Athletics Hall of Fame this fall.
The 6-foot-7, 340-pound former All-American was the star offensive lineman for the Spartans from 1994-1997 during the tenure of former MSU coach, Nick Saban. In Adams' senior season, the Spartans finished 24th in the nation in rushing (199.5 yards per game) thanks in large part to Adams and in the regular-season finale MSU nabbed 452 yards rushing in a 49-14 win over Penn State.
"Just hearing the name, 'Hall of Fame,' means a great deal to me,'' Adams told MLive.com late Monday night. "We've had so many great athletes at Michigan State that for me to be selected is such an honor. I never thought I'd be Hall of Fame anything.''
After playing at Michigan State, Adams played 13 season in the NFL, including five Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl appearance in his final season (2010) with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The former college superstar played for 12 seasons in Dallas for the Cowboys and in 2009 he was ranked among the team's Top 50 players of all-time (No. 42).
Despite being a big name NFL star, Flozell never forgot to watch a MSU game on Saturdays even when traveling with the Cowboys, often insisting that any hotel they stayed in be sure to get access so he could watch his Spartans play.
"I've always been a Michigan State fan, like everyone else, a Spartan for life,'' Adams said. "Coach (Mark) Dantonio has certainly done a great job, and I've heard the people talking about this season. But win or lose, I'm going to be there for Michigan State.''
It isn't just moral support that Adams has offered to Michigan State; he also donated $1.5 million as part of the massive $24 million renovation being done to Spartan Stadium. Adam's donation will help build a new, state-of-the-art locker room for the team, which he claims was much-needed.
"It was pretty ancient,'' Adams said of the previous locker room where he played in the 90s. "Everything that's being done right now with the locker rooms, the stadium, the program, it's a big step forward.''
Current head coach Mark Dantonio couldn't help but agree.
"It will make a huge difference, not just to our current players but to our players that will be coming in the future as well," Dantonio said earlier this year. "It puts us on par with one of the best facilities in the country in this area."

Chang, K J; Susuki, K; Dours-Zimmermann, M T; Zimmermann, D R; Rasband, M N (2010). Oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein does not influence node of ranvier structure or assembly. Journal of Neuroscience, 30(43):14476-14481.

Oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMgp) is expressed by both neurons and oligodendrocytes in the CNS. It has been implicated in growth cone collapse and neurite outgrowth inhibition by signaling through the Nogo receptor and paired Ig-like receptor B (PirB). OMgp was also reported to be an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein surrounding CNS nodes of Ranvier and proposed to function as (1) an inhibitor of nodal collateral sprouting and (2) an important contributor to proper nodal and paranodal architecture. However, we show here that the anti-OMgp antiserum used in previous studies to define the functions of OMgp at nodes is not specific. Among all reported nodal ECM components, the antiserum exhibited strong cross-reactivity against versican V2 isoform, a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. Furthermore, the OMgp antiserum labeled OMgp-null nodes, but not nodes from versican V2-deficient mice, and preadsorption of the OMgp antiserum with recombinant versican V2 blocked nodal labeling. Analysis of CNS nodes in OMgp-null mice failed to reveal any nodal or paranodal defects, or increased nodal collateral sprouting, indicating that OMgp does not participate in CNS node of Ranvier assembly or maintenance. We successfully identified a highly specific anti-OMgp antibody and observed OMgp staining in white matter only after initiation of myelination. OMgp immunoreactivity decorated the surface of mature myelinated axons, but was excluded from compact myelin and nodes. Together, our results strongly argue against the nodal localization of OMgp and its proposed functions at nodes, and reveal OMgp's authentic localization relative to nodes and myelin.

A Fort Richardson Soldier was found dead Friday morning on the roof of a building below a bridge on First Avenue in Anchorage.
Pfc. Edward M. Byrnes, 36, of Limerick, Ireland, who was assigned to C Company, 864th Engineer Battalion, as a power-generation equipment repairer, was discovered by bridge inspectors who contacted the Anchorage Police Department who responded to the scene.
According to a release issued July 11 by the APD, responding day shift patrol officers determined Byrnes was deceased at the scene, and Homicide Unit officers responded to assist in the investigation.
There were no signs or indication of foul play, the release said, and detectives and investigators believe Byrnes intentionally jumped or accidently fell from the bridge known as the 'A/C' Couplet. The bridge is a main thoroughfare from downtown Anchorage to the Government Hill neighborhood and Elmendorf Air Force Base.
Information received by APD and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division indicates Byrnes had last been seen at a local business on 3rd Avenue July 10 at about 11 p.m. Detectives report alcohol is suspected to be a factor.
Byrnes, who was born in New York, joined the Army Jan. 25, 2007, and was stationed at Fort Richardson July 17, 2007.
The single Soldier had redeployed with C/864th July 3 following a nine-month tour of duty in Iraq.
Byrnes is survived by his mother, Anne Byrnes of Limerick, Ireland.
The cause of death is undetermined and is being investigated by the CID and APD. The State Medical Examiner has performed an autopsy.

Technote (FAQ)
How can the bit-version -- 32-bit or 64-bit - of a Statistics installation be determined?
There are several methods that can be used to determine the bit-version of an installed Statistics product:
- Method 1 (Installation Folder Location): IF the product is installed on a 64-bit Windows operating system and the Statistics product is installed in the 'Program Files (x86)' folder, THEN the installed version is 32-bit. This method works for all versions of Statistics.
- Method 2 (Help > About): The window displayed after select the Help menu 'About' option will indicate the bit-version of the product. This method is only valid for Statistics versions 20 and higher.
- Method 3 (File Size): This method is most applicable to determining the bit-version of Statistics 19. To apply this method, locate the following file in the Statistics 19 installation directory: spssengine.exe. The size of the 'spssengine.exe' file will indicate the bit-version of the Statistics 19 installation:
32-bit = approximately 37 kilobytes (37KB).
64-bit = Approximately 47 kilobytes (47KB)

Unlike other mammals, human breasts develop during puberty and then remain enlarged.
Typically mammals only produce breasts when necessary (i.e. breast feeding). However, for humans our breasts stick around no matter what the status of our reproductive system might be.

The premiere episode of "Survivor: Cagayan" was just about as night and day as it could be for contestant Garrett Adelstein. His first three days on the island were a roller coaster that he was skillfully able to navigate. But his last three days were just that: His last three days in the game. Today, I spoke to Garrett about his fall, rise and fall again in the game of Survivor. In case you missed the episode, here is the full Episode 1 recap.
For a season themed as "Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty," Garrett was perhaps a triple-threat and could have been categorized as any of the three. He is a professional poker player but from the looks of him, he could have been a professional body-builder, MMA fighter, or just a super-fit accountant. He was ultimately placed on the Brains Tribe, consisting of people who we would soon find out had a hard time living up to that name.
Sticking out like a sore thumb, Garrett was immediately targeted as the "weakest" member of his tribe by appointed tribe leader, David, at the very beginning of the game. Of course, he was by far the strongest from a physical perspective, but David felt threatened by him. Being the weakest had benefits though, as Garrett was tasked with deciding between a hidden Immunity Idol clue or getting a second bag of rice for his tribe. Without hesitation, he went for the clue and found a hidden Idol on Day One.
Seemingly in a great position, he still was being targeted by David but David was unable to convince any of the others on his tribe. Instead of going with J'Tia, who had been rubbing people the wrong way, he orchestrated a blindside of David, to exact revenge and to get out a player he perceived as a strategic threat. After David went home, it seemed Garrett was on the top of the world.
But the morning of Day Four, everything seemed to change for Garrett. He woke up miserable and admitted that the game was no fun at all. He was having an incredibly rough time adjusting to the lack of food and the rough nature of the game. When J'Tia blew the challenge, he decided to call an "open forum" discussion with his tribe mates to discuss who was going home next. These types of talks never work and it didn't here either.
But his public targeting of J'Tia led to J'Tia self-destructing. She poured the tribe's rice into the fire, all but securing her exit in the game. But don't expect the Brains to think logically. In a wildly shocking blindside, Garrett found himself out of the game when Kass, Tasha and J'Tia wrote his name down. Garrett was so confident he wasn't going home, he had not even brought his hidden Idol with him to Tribal Council.
So in the course of two hours, Garrett blew in and blew out of Survivor like a chiseled maelstrom of testosterone and bravado. Here is my exclusive chat with Garrett Adelstein, a day after the airing of the premiere episode:
Garrett Adelstein: Hey Tom, how are you doing today?
Tom Santilli, Survivor Examiner: Doing good man! Sorry to see you go so soon! You were the star of the first episode but you, me and everybody wouldn't have predicted you'd be gone so soon. So what ultimately happened? What do you attribute as the reason you went home?
Garrett: What it really comes down to is a lot of very intricate Survivor strategy that I'll try to condense for you. But to try to keep it short, when David went home, Spencer and I knew that our best play strategically was to pull Kass in. Unfortunately Tasha recognized the same thing for her own strategy. So everything you saw with the open forum and Tasha being all upset about that and that sort of playing any sort of role whatsoever in why I went home, it's just not accurate. What is accurate is Tasha outplaying Spencer and I, and convincing Kass that it was in her best interest to vote with her. Obviously I'm a little biased but I think that Kass's decision really was illogical and really unsound. The real unfortunate thing about it is J'Tia's actions. J'Tia was just like a sideshow, clearly. J'Tia's behavior that day, what it did allow, very unfortunately for me, was to make me and Spencer feel even more comfortable. Kass did not like J'Tia at all, that's something you didn't see on camera. I mean, she almost got in a fist-fight with her after the rice was dumped out. They were both arguing and verbally atttacking each other all the way up until right before Tribal Council. All of those things made me feel that it wasn't necessary to use the Idol as leverage to pull Kass in and all of those things led to my demise.
Tom Santilli: Do you feel like it may have been a big mistake to keep Kass in the dark about blindsiding David? It seems like her distrust for you may have began there and had you have included her, she may have felt more loyal to you.
Garrett: Hmm. I like that question, that's the first time I was asked that question today. I think it's a real interest one, it's certainly reasonable. I could have even just whispered to Kass at Tribal that we were voting David. Here's why that's even more interesting than it even seemed on the surface. I established a very close relationship with Kass on Day One, none of which was shown at all. So telling her probably...no certainly...would have helped and would have answered some big question marks for herself.
Tom Santilli: Now I know you're a smart guy, you're a successful poker player, etc. But do you feel that you were unfairly placed on the Brains Tribe given your physicality? You stuck out like a sore thumb over there, as opposed to maybe having blended in a bit better had you been put on either of the other tribes.
Garrett: I don't want to use the word fair. Survivor isn't fair. All kinds of crazy things happen that are out of your control. What I'd say is that it's unfortunate. I feel very strongly that if I would have been on the Beauty or the Brawn tribes, there would have been much fewer real Survivor strategists on either tribe. I think I would have had a much easier path. You know, a lot of things had to go against me and unfortunately, I made a few mistakes myself that have led me to be talking to you today (laughs).
Tom Santilli: David pegs you as the weakest on your tribe right off the bat. But had he selected someone else, what was your read on David up until that point? Is he someone who you felt threatened by or was he someone you thought you may have been able to work with?
Garrett: Looking at David from the beginning, I never really got the best vibes from him. I would have been willing to work for him though. I mean, me and David are good friends now so it's easy to say. But I think it was pretty clear what his intentions were as to why he picked me. But in Survivor, anyone who isn't with you is against you. But without question, everything would have been different had we worked together, but I guess we'll never know.
Tom Santilli: When you go to Tribal Council without the Idol, was there ever a moment at Tribal Council that you regretted not bringing it? Or was it a true and real blindside?
Garrett: I clearly think that I made a mistake in not bringing the Idol with me to Tribal. You see five minutes of Tribal Council and those are clearly the worst five minutes. But there are 90 minutes of other things that go on. I can comfortably say that I wouldn't have played the Idol either way. Going into Tribal, I thought there was a zero percent chance I'd get voted out and before the vote I would say I thought there was between a zero and maybe three or four percent chance of me leaving. Just not enough doubt to use the Idol in that moment.
Tom Santilli: Is there anybody left on your tribe that you think has any real chance at all of winning the game?
Garrett: I would vote Spencer and Tasha. Spencer I think is the superior strategist, I just have concerns about his game socially. Not because he's egotistical or diabolical like he was portrayed in some of the pre-season video clips and things like that. But it might be hard for him to relate to some of the older people. I think Tasha has a legitimate shot as well. Obviously I'm a bit frustrated that Tasha was the mastermind behind me being ousted, but I have to give her credit, she outplayed me.
Tom Santilli: Well sorry to see you go, Garrett. You came out guns a-blazin' and it was a very entertaining premiere to say the least.
Garrett: Yeah I guess that's filler line, huh? I guess I make for at least one good episode, right? (Laughs)

We're used to seeing cutouts at strategically "sexy" places - the collarbone, the shoulders, the lower back - so this tic-tac-toe board of a cutout is a surprise. We wouldn't suggest wearing the Nancy Stella Soto Cutout Sweatshirt ($137, on sale) with ripped jeans like the model does here, but instead up the contrast with a pair of skinny jeans and a shirt in a bright color.

Every once in a while, we like to pretend we're starring in a sci-fi thriller. To the uninformed observer, it might look like we're merely contemplating which variety of canned tuna to purchase at the grocery store. We're really focusing our mental energy on breaking through the psychic illusions holding the entire world hostage. We'll feel even more the part wearing these Katness Metallic Leggings ($25). And just think how flashy they'll look when we practice cartwheeling through alleyways to dodge the laser-guns of our enemies.

Well after years of putting up with the pain from gallstones, this week I finally had the operation to remove my gallbladder.
I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy , which bascially is keyhole surgery to remove the gallbladder. I am still a bit sore (op was on wednesday) and have been trying to keep it all still to heal...but I wondered if anyone else had had this operation and soon it was before they were back up n running - especially with regards to mucking out, lugging haynets and riding!!
Thanks for any advice

Hi Sarah, so glad that your op went well, I have'nt had keyhole surgery so can't really answer your question. You will probably get tired easily atm and may need to rest in the afternoon. I would check with your GP about when it's best to return to normal duties ! Actually a bit of light riding in walk would probably be better than lugging water and hay etc. I had an op a few years ago and the mistake i made was to do too much too soon then i felt sick and tired out. Take it easy for a few days and then introduce things gradually, let me know how you are doing, take care of yourself, Lyn XX

I think you have to take it easy for a while because your body goes into shock when there's a major wound somewhere. I had key hole when I got sterilized but at the time I didn't have horses so I was up and running pretty quick. Lugging hay nets etc can wait get yourself well first xx

Nothad any surgery so can't helpyou with your question. Just want to say glad your op went well. Hope it doesn't take too long for you to recover. Don't do anything that you don't feel able to doand let you healup properly before doing too much.
. .A horse is a thing of such beauty. . .none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.
thanks for the sympathy people! Feelign a bit sorry for myself today - had hoped to go and visit the ponios tonight to cheer myelf, but my stitches have been quite sore today so my OH has told me to stay put
It' quite sad how much you miss them isn't it? Have been cheering myself up by looking at photos but nothing beats a whiskery nuzzle from my girls...
Lyn - I was thinking the same re riding...but i think I'll have to stick to Luna for the first week as not sure i'll be able to get down from dulci'es great height! Plus I know Luna will look after me - she is quite sensitive when something is wrong

i put a post up 2 days ago dont know where its gone:/
I had my gallbladder removed sept 2010 (like you after years of agony) i would say it all depends, my doctor said about 2 weeks take it easy then see how u go but i was alot better after a week but just didnt do much lifting at work. think it all depends on how your scars heal to be honest, mine healed well bar the one on my belly button as had a bit of a cough and think that kept pulling at the stiitches. riding personally i think would be easier then yard uties etc (i didnt have horse at the time ya see!) youl be fine before you know it dont worry!

No heavy yard duties for at least 3 - 4 weeks post op unless you want to wreck your stitches. Start off slowly and build yourself up gradually rather than jumping straight back into it, surgery no matter if it's laparoscopic or laparotomy is a major assault on the body and things take time to knit back together again - you've basically been sliced open with a sharp instrument, had your organs rumbled about a bit, had a bit chopped off and internally stitched up, then been sewn back together again. The perfect equilibrium of the body has been interrupted and needs to rebalance itself, as well as undergo healing. Calm down woman!

By Stephanie Sampson
UCLA Assistant Sports Information Director
Kickers have often been thought of as odd men out, or a little bit off. However, for the three UCLA kickers - redshirt senior Aaron Perez, redshirt junior Jimmy Rotstein and redshirt sophomore Kai Forbath, they believe that stigma should be attributed to all positions.
"I don't think there's anything really odd about any of us," said Perez. "Just because we're a little isolated during practice, doesn't mean we're weird. There are plenty of players across the country in all different positions that are a little bit weird. Not just kickers. They just aren't off to the side, so no one notices."
All Fun And Games?
Typically isolated during most of practice except during the special team periods and two-minute drills, the kickers are usually off to the side working on their kicks or participating in traditional `kicker games,' which have been passed down throughout the years by one kicker to the next.
"Chris Kluwe and Justin Medlock passed down the games we play, and it's our job to pass it down to the next line of kickers, so we're teaching Jeff Locke," said Perez.
"We're all really close friends," said Rotstein. "Kai and I are roommates, and we always talk about what's going on in our lives."
Although there is a lot of down time for the kickers, the guys never lose their focus. For the 10-15 minutes they get into practice, they make themost of it. Whether it's drilling the ball through the uprights on a field goal drill, kicking off into the end zone, or working on getting that perfect, coffincorner punt, these special teamers always try to make practice perfect.
"We might not be out there running schemes or hitting, but we try to be as productive as possible during the time we have on the field," noted Perez.
All He Has Left To Beat Is The Kicker...
For most kickers, if they have to make a tackle, it's not a good thing for the team. It means the coverage is blown or their kick went horribly wrong, but in that off chance the kicker needs to make a tackle, it might be good to have a little practice.
"I joined a drill once at practice and made a tackle, and it knocked the wind out of me, so I'll never do it again in practice," said Rotstein. "I did make a tackle in the Las Vegas Bowl, so at least I was able to do that."
"You kind of know the basics of tackling, so if it happens, it happens," added Perez. "I just try to focus on the kicking, and if the opportunity is there to make a tackle, I hope I'm able to do it."
How To Become A Kicker
Most little kids don't grow up thinking they want to be a kicker. Most kickers grow up playing soccer and somehow find their way onto the football field. For Forbath, coaches asked anyone who thought they could kick to come out and try. Once out on the field, Forbath found a new level of talent that could take him farther than soccer could. Rotstein made a bet with the football coach overseeing his mandatory weight class that he could kick a field goal, and the rest is history. Perez had a friend call him at the last minute because the team was in need of kickers, and within days was on the varsity squad.
"We just want to do what we can do help the team," said Perez. "Whether it's kicking the game-winning field goal in overtime against Tennessee, or pinning the opposing team deep in their own territory, we just want to help the team out."
"It's an honor being mentioned," noted Forbath. "But it's not just us. Christian is a big part of my success, and I get great support from Jimmy. He always helps me with my technique. The support from everyone is what helps us get noticed."
For the UCLA kickers, `no man is an island,' they're just off to the side, waiting for their time to come and help the team on game day.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is introducing a plan to the Chicago City Council which will regulate gun sales in the city by controlling where stores can be located as well as requiring the videotaping of gun sales and staunch record-keeping procedures, according to a Chicago Tribune report on Wednesday. Another measure to go before the City Council on Wednesday is a step towards banning video "upskirting" in which persons make video recordings with the lens aimed up a woman's skirt. Also, according to the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday, the Chicago City Council will consider giving fines for posting handbills which are placed on residential properties and ultimately lead to continuous littering.
Regarding the gun sales ordinance to be presented by Emanuel, it follows a federal judge's finding last January that Chicago's ban on firearms retailers is unconstitutional. The Emanuel plan on the issue would require sales to only occur in certain areas that are zoned for commercial purposes. Additionally, gun sales would not be allowed within 500 feet of a park or school. According to DNAinfo, Emanuel is calling his plan one of the toughest, smartest licensing laws in the country with its restrictions on sun shops in the city.
Another controversial issue which may be presented before the City Council will be a plan to regulate the ride-sharing industry after a group of city aldermen blocked a vote on the issue at their last City Council meeting. Such ride-sharing operations as Uber X and Lyft are going along with the plan as lobbyists for cab companies say the plan does not go far enough to make Uber X and Lyft the same as cab companies.
Yet another handful of aldermen are going to introduce a proposal to raise Chicago's minimum wage to $15 per hour. It has been reported that this plan will likely not be favored by the City Council. In response to the ongoing concern of minimum wage, Mayor Emanuel has developed an advisory panel on the topic of minimum wage. The panel is to report on their findings sometime this summer. On the state level, House Speaker Michael Madigan is pushing a plan to include a statewide ballot referendum in the November midterm elections asking voters whether the state's minimum wage should be increased to $10 an hour. Currently, Illinois' minimum wage is $8.25.

Once upon a time I loved playing Street Fighter 2 (turbo, championship edition etc) on SNES and in the arcade. I'd like to give SSF4 on XBox a chance. What advice would you give to someone in my situation? My favorite character(s) were Ken/Ryu. I'm interested in basic strategy and moves (fireball, upper cut etc).
If you haven't played any Street Fighter game since the Street Fighter 2 series, there are a few concepts to learn. The game overall feels more like Street Fighter 2 than most fighting games that have been released since then, so you will be in a familiar mindset. Using fireballs to zone your opponent to keep the distance still works, as using dragon punches to punish random jump-ins.
There are some new mechanics, though:
There's a set of video tutorials aimed at beginners:. Take a look and skip the parts you think you are already familiar with.
Ryu and Ken were nearly identical to each other in Street Fighter 2, but they became a lot different since then. Ryu is best played by using fireballs to keep the distance to the enemy and punishing their approaches, while Ken is best used in rushdown.
The basic moves have not changed. The largest changes are the introduction of EX, Super, and Ultra moves, as well as concepts like "armor-breaking attacks" and cancelling out of a move as a form of feint. If you still remember the SF2 tactics and moves, you'll want to concentrate most on learning all of the advanced moves so you can integrate them into your fights. Otherwise, you'll get trounced pretty significantly by someone who knows how to use those mechanics.
A list of the moves for Ken and Ryu would be an excellent place to start. After that, try to nail down the timing of each kind of maneuver.

Social workers practice across a wide range of settings with many different people. Some work primarily with individuals, some work with families or groups of people in therapeutic or community contexts, while others focus on community advocacy, community action and social change. In such diverse disciplinary contexts, the notion of theoretically informed practice can seem complicated. Written as a core text, the book captures the critical information students need to feel confident in the application of theory to practice. Integrated case studies from both Australasian and international perspectives illustrate how theory works in practice and how theory facilitates change. Social Work: From Theory to Practice provides a comprehensive exploration of knowledge in practice, the use of evidence as a basis for practice, and the ways in which theory helps practitioners to understand, make sense of, and respond to complex human needs.

Chloe: "Is it just me or is all of this badass testosterone totally hot?"
Nick: "Just you."
"Wanting" is the July 3 episode of "Rookie Blue." Warning: this article contains spoilers. "Rookie Blue" airs Thursday nights at 8 p.m. CT on ABC.
Duncan has been struggling a lot during his time as a rookie. He can't quite seem to grasp how to treat kids and just can't catch on. This continues in this episode. What I've been waiting for is for someone else to chat up Duncan and maybe help him and Andy out a bit. We haven't really gotten that aside from Andy chatting with Oliver and Sam in this episode. It would have been great to see Duncan hanging out with the other members of 15 Division, and maybe even people just offering him advice or asking how things are going.
Nick and Chloe's friendship is adorable. It's my absolute favorite part of the episode. Nick doesn't seem like the person to get in the middle of everyone's business, and yet that is what Chloe wants him to do. The combination of Chloe over sharing and Nick attempting to get answers from Dov who doesn't over share is perfection. There should be more of Nick and Chloe, or even more awkward chats between Nick and Dov.
Alright, I'm missing the McSwarek spark. I have loved them since day one, but I keep getting bored when they come on screen. There is some sort of flirting, but we have done the friends thing before. It's nothing new. There's not much of a spark. Andy and Sam are in their routine, which does not make anything really exciting. What are your thoughts?
We don't really see Gail dealing with her break up. Of course, Chris doesn't really help on that front. He doesn't quite know what he should say. I know Gail isn't the most open person in the world, but we should have seen a little more from her. Dov talked to her about Gail in the last episode, so it wouldn't have been weird for him to talk her in about Holly in this episode. Either have him learn about the break up or ask how she is doing. This could have been a brief scene in the squad room.
What did you think of the episode? Is anyone else wanting to punch Chris in the face? Leave me your thoughts in a comment below.

This is officially my 600th post! When my 300th post started nearing, I kept careful count and planned what I would say. I can't say it was anything spectacular, but it was planned
That was over two years ago.
This time, like so many things in my life right now, post 600 sneaked up on me. I was about to hit publish on another post when I happened to notice my published count was at 599. Hmm, guess I should do something special for this post. (Why 600 and not 500? I have a thing for divisible by three – always have.)
When I sat down to compose this "special" post, I couldn't think of anything momentous to say. Honestly, if you had asked me the end of last year, I probably would have told you I wouldn't make it this far. I had a rough winter and didn't post much. I very nearly quit – it wasn't fun anymore.
And then something happened while writing the last few posts. I remembered how fun it was when I was just sharing the everyday happens and my crazy thoughts. I remembered how fun it was to blog for myself and not because I had too. Maybe it's the longer days and warmer weather – whatever it is, it feels good.
So what am I going to do with the rest of this post? How about re-capping some of the things I didn't get around to posting these last few months (in no particular order).
Snow Days
The kids have been so intrigued with the snow this year. They are finally old enough to really go out and enjoy it. When Cassie saw the first big snow of the season, she announced, "Mommy, I go out and catch snow on my tongue."
Unfortunately, most of the snow was accompanied with bitter cold days, meaning we couldn't go out and play. So one Saturday morning, Alyssa and I decided to take the kids to see Frozen. Our local theater is only $5 for the first show of the day and kids 3 and under are free if they can sit on a lap. We rounded up a third lap (Alyssa's friend Melanie) and headed to the theater.
I was a little worried they wouldn't be able to sit through the whole thing, but decided for $15, it was worth the risk. I'm happen to say, we made it through the whole thing! They LOVED it – they were glued to the screen!
The kids started preschool in December and introduced their immune systems to a whole new set of germs. We have had perpetual runny noses for the last four months. Poor Ben has taken the brunt of it – and I'm pretty sure it's because he decided to lick a chair in the Doctor's waiting room. A week before their birthday, he ended up in the ER with pneumonia. Poor kid slept for DAYS!
Suitcase Rides
When we met Aunt Julie and her (now) in-laws at their hotel when they flew in for the kids' birthday/her Bridal Shower, Cassie and Ben "helped" her get her suitcase into the hotel. It's hard to find good help these days.
Sleeping Anywhere
My back hurts just looking at some of the places these kids can fall asleep these days.
Whew, I'm tired. There are a few more things I could share, but I can't put my hands on the pictures at the moment. I hope you feel nice and caught up!

Offensive lineman Brandon Thomas, a senior draft prospect from Clemson, tore an anterior cruciate ligament in a non-contact drill during a private workout last week with the New Orleans Saints, according to reports Tuesday from The National Football Post's Aaron Wilson and ESPN's Mike Triplett.
The 6-foot-3, 317-pound Thomas received second-, third- and fourth-round projections from various outlets prior to his injury, for which he will have surgery as the May 8-10 draft is fast approaching. The Saints worked him out after Charles Brown (who started the season at left tackle for New Orleans in 2013) and shortly before Brian de la Puente (the starting center since 2011) left for other teams in free agency.
Wilson speculated that Thomas could still do well in the draft, though his hurt knee would likely affect his draft stock.
Multiple Saints personnel attend Towson Pro Day
Multiple representatives of the Saints attended Towson University's Pro Day in Maryland, according to CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora on Monday. The school's highest profile draft prospect is running back Terrance West, and the program boasts a couple of ties to the Saints: it's the alma mater of linebackers coach Joe Vitt and former left tackle Jermon Bushrod, who helped New Orleans win Super Bowl XLIV and was a two-time Pro Bowler before leaving for Chicago last year.
West stood out in the positional drills he participated in, La Canfora wrote. That should only boost the stock of West, who set Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) records for rushing yards (2,509) and rushing touchdowns (41) to help Towson reach the national title game last year.
CBSSports.com projects West might be taken in the third round of the upcoming draft. He clocked 4.54 seconds in the 40-yard dash at February's scouting combine in Indianapolis, which La Canfora called an impressive time for a player with a 5-foot-9, 225-pound frame.
Calgary Stampeders hold open workout in Metairie
The Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League will host an open workout at East Jefferson High School's football stadium for 9 a.m. to noon on April 12.
John Murphy, the Stampeders' assistant general manager, will be in attendance alongside two full-time coaches at East Jefferson's campus, which is at 400 Phlox Ave. in Metairie.
"We have found numerous players on our roster from open workouts and have signed a prospect from the New Orleans region every year since 2008," Murphy, who resides in Metairie, said in an email about the event.
Prospective players can sign up online at www.stampeders.com as well as at the event itself. They can email any questions to the Stampeders' front office at email@example.com.
The Stampeders have won the Grey Cup, the CFL's championship trophy, six times. Their last title came in 2008.
Alums include defensive lineman Tom Johnson, who was with the Saints from 2011 to 2013 and left for Minnesota in free agency in March; cornerback Derrius Brooks, signed to New Orleans' offseason roster on a futures contract in January; and cornerback Brandon Browner, who joined New England in March after three seasons with Seattle, the defending NFL champions.
Johnson was with Calgary from 2009 to 2010. Brooks was there in 2012 and 2013. Browner was there from 2007 to 2010.
Gayle Benson joins Tulane's board
Tulane on Tuesday announced that Gayle Benson, a philanthropist and former interior designer who is the wife of Saints owner Tom Benson, joined the university's board of administrators.
Gayle Benson's appointment comes after she and her husband jointly donated $7.5 million to the construction of Yulman Stadium, Tulane's new on-campus football stadium which is set to open for the 2014 season in the fall.
"Gayle is one of New Orleans' most beloved figures," Tulane President Scott Cowen said in a statement. "Her wisdom, devotion to the community and steady leadership will be indispensable as Tulane welcomes a new president (Michael Fitts, named in February) and continues its journey of enhanced impact, quality and distinction."
Benson, for her part, said in a statement: "As a New Orleans native, I have always been proud of Tulane's role as one of the country's leading universities. I now cherish the opportunity to help shape its future."
Among other things, the Bensons have donated millions of dollars to religious, educational and medical institutions in New Orleans and San Antonio, another city where the family's patriarch has a number of business interests.
Gayle Benson began her professional career managing the New Orleans branch of a New York-based custom jeweler. She then became an interior designer and in 2004 married Tom Benson, who also owns the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans.
— USC wide receiver Marqise Lee, who told Pro Football Talk Live last week that he was going to meet with the Saints, visited New Orleans' facilities on Tuesday. Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro informed the public he had spotted Lee via Twitter, writing, "Hopefully we can get him in the draft! Explosive playmaker."
— Speaking of Vaccaro: Falcons owner Arthur Blank said it bothered him that members of his team barely reacted when the Saints' safety was flagged for a hit on Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan in a Week 1 road loss to New Orleans. Via ESPN, Blank told Atlanta radio station 680 The Fan that none of Ryan's teammates said anything to Vaccaro about it, and that the Falcons need to be tougher than that.
"That play really bothered me, sincerely," Blank reportedly said. "It bothered me that none of our players, they all complained, but none of them went to the safety on the Saints and did anything."
— At a luncheon Wednesday, the All-State Sugar Bowl Chapter of the National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame will honor longtime Saints radio announcer Jim Henderson as well as team president Dennis Lauscha for their contributions to New Orleans as well as the sport of football.
Henderson will be presented with the Contribution to Amateur Football Award, and Lauscha (also the president of the Pelicans) will receive the Distinguished American Award at the Hilton Riverside hotel.

With the Academy Awards about to be handed out in sunny Hollywood, New York City is still a prime location for movie shoots. Teeming with famous landmarks and bustling streets, the city that never sleeps served as the backdrop for the following 4 classic films that won Best Picture and happen to be based on books with New York locations.
"The Lost Weekend" (1945): Based on Charles R. Jackson's novel, this gritty film of one man's struggle with alcoholism was groundbreaking in its day. Ray Milland won a Best Actor Oscar for his starring role. PJ Clarke's Saloon, 915 Third Avenue in Manhattan, one of the locations used in the film, is still open today.
"The French Connection" (1971): Based on the nonfiction book by Robin Moore, the film was the first rated R movie to win Best Picture. The famous car chase scene was shot under the elevated train, the Stillwell Avenue line, in Brooklyn from Bay 50th Street to the 62nd Street Station. Several other New York locations are also featured in the film, including the Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan, and 70 Park Avenue Hotel at 38th Street.
"The Godfather" (1972): Mario Puzo's bestseller became director Francis Ford Coppola's cinema classic. The wedding reception was filmed on Longfellow Road in Staten Island. Michael Corleone and Kay stay at the St. Regis Hotel, 2 East 55th Street in Manhattan.
"The Godfather Part 2" (1974): A prequel and a sequel, this film holds its own with the original, the first sequel to a Best Picture to also win Best Picture. Sixth Street between Avenue A and B in the East Village served as Little Italy circa 1917. Stroll through the Village and visit another filming location, Caffe Reggio at 119 MacDougal Street for an authentic cappuccino.
The films are available on Netflix, Amazon, and at your local library. The books are also available at your local library and at your favorite bookshops, like the Strand in New York City.
For the full list of this year's nominees, check out the Academy Awards website and be sure to tune in on March 2 for the Oscars live on ABC.

Willie Pep had Sandy Saddler (4 times), Sugar Ray Robinson had Jake LaMotta (6x's) and Muhammad Ali had Joe Frazier (3x's).
They are just three rivalries and six all-time great fighters whose names will be forever linked together in fistic history.
Today, we have Manny Pacquiao 56-5-2 (38) and Juan Manuel Marquez 56-7-1 (40) who have fought each other four times and had the eyes of the boxing world focused on them every time. Pacquiao and Marquez don't need anything to build up a fight between them. Four fights=four great fights. Each one had fireworks, each one was close, each was hard to predict. And there's no reason why the fifth wouldn't continue the tradition.
Of the four fights between them, the first three resulted in very close and controversial decisions. Their first fight was a draw and Pacquiao was the benefactor in the second and third meetings via a split decision in fight II and a majority decision in fight III. In their last meeting, the fourth between them, Marquez, who was trailing at the time, won the only non controversial bout between the duo when he knocked Pacquiao out with one punch with only seconds remaining in the sixth round.
And that brings us to why there will most likely be a fifth and final meeting between these two future hall of famers this coming November.
For starters, there is nobody substantive left for them to fight with something significant to gain other than Floyd Mayweather. Marquez had his shot at Mayweather and was jobbed on the scales at the weigh in when Mayweather came in above the contract weight and had to cough up a lot of dead presidents. But Floyd didn't care and was happy to buy the advantage. In the ring that night it looked like a welterweight versus a lightweight and Marquez didn't compete. Although Marquez would probably like another shot at Mayweather, there's no way that happens because Floyd would have nothing to gain by fighting him again. Sure, the boxing world would love to see Mayweather and Pacquiao fight, and it will happen, but not this year, so forget about it for now. There's another formidable terror out there named Ruslan Provodnikov 23-2 (16), who is promoted by Bob Arum who would love to fight either Pacquiao or Marquez. However, he's too dangerous for both of them. His style, toughness and aggression would make it really tough for Marquez to overcome at age 40. Perhaps Pacquiao's unorthodox style and speed would lead Provodnikov into walking into a killer shot that he didn't see. But Ruslan's chin has shown to be upper-tier and very sturdy.
Provodnikov beat up and hurt Timothy Bradley much more than Marquez did when they fought and more than Pacquiao did in two fights against him. Forget either Manny or Juan going near Provodnikov. They have nothing to gain by fighting him and it could easily end badly for both. Something else to keep in mind is the names Pacquiao and Marquez matched together can't miss as a draw. Boxing fans know when they share a ring they'll see professional fighting exhibited at its highest level. The fight will have many ebbs and flows with the outcome being in question until the very end. And the stakes and bragging rights on the line in a fifth fight between them will be monumental. How can it not be? Marquez handed Pacquiao the most devastating and humiliating defeat of his career a year and a half ago. Manny was out, face down, on the canvas for over a minute. After the fight his wife pleaded with him to retire from boxing. Since the last Marquez fight, Pacquiao has fought twice. He won a lopsided decision over a limited tough guy in Brandon Rios and then out thought and out boxed Timothy Bradley in their rematch. But he didn't look spectacular in either bout and it's obvious to anyone who knows what they're watching that Manny doesn't carry the same punch he used to - nor is he the non-stop punching machine he was going back just three or four years ago. That said, there's no way in the world I could be convinced that Pacquiao doesn't want Marquez one more time.
He was beating Marquez up, leading in the bout and had his face a mess when he let his guard down for a second and got nailed and put to sleep by the best right hand Marquez ever landed. And if we know nothing else, it's that Manny has not suffered any residual effects from that knockout and certainly isn't glove shy as a result of it.
As for Marquez, he's fought twice since beating Pacquiao. He lost a decision to Timothy Bradley in his next fight, but that was more of a style conundrum than it was Bradley being the better fighter. For the better part of 12 rounds Bradley used his better hand and foot speed to do just enough to win a couple more rounds than Marquez en-route to a split decision victory. And this past weekend Marquez won a lopsided unanimous decision over Mike Alvarado 34-3 (23), who was coming off a stoppage loss to Provodnikov in his last fight. After beating Alvarado, Marquez said he wants to be the first Mexican fighter in boxing history to win a world title in five different weight classes. Guess who holds the WBO welterweight title? Yep, Manny Pacquiao. What could be sweeter for Marquez than winning his fifth title and further enhancing his legacy at Pacquiao's expense?
Think about the drama/soap opera and back story attached to Pacquiao-Marquez V. Manny wants to avenge being knocked out by Marquez and Juan wants to make history and solidify himself historically as being Pacquiao's superior. If Pacquiao were to knockout or beat Marquez convincingly in their fifth meeting, most would look back at his knockout loss to him as being a fluke. That would give him a 3-1-1 advantage head to head and the debate as to who got the better of whom between them would be settled. On the other hand, if Marquez stopped Pacquiao again or beat him beyond question in a fifth meeting, the series would be 2-2-1. And most would say that Marquez deserved at least one of the two decisions he lost to Manny, and he scored the only clear cut wins between them - so Marquez would be thought of as the superior fighter between them, at least in a head to head comparison.
If Pacquiao and Marquez meet a fifth time they would both make a ton of money. One of them will enhance their legacy and the loser will not be shamed one bit by losing to the other. And even though Pacquiao is 35 and Marquez is 40, it's not an old-timers fight, it's a top of the contemporary era's best match-up even now.
After beating Alvarado this past weekend, Marquez was very coy when asked about fighting Pacquiao for a fifth time in his next fight. He wouldn't commit to anything but left the door open. He no doubt did that because he doesn't want to seem too anxious and wants to strengthen his financial interest if the fight comes to fruition. Marquez knows that Pacquiao wants a chance to make the boxing public forget about their last fight and just might be willing to make a few concessions in order to make the fight that he normally might not if that's what it takes to get him in the ring again. It was smart of Marquez to answer the question regarding Pacquiao the way he did for business reasons.
And it's smart for Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach to have recently said to Michael Woods that he's considering letting Provodnikov fight Pacquiao, giving Marquez a dose of his own medicine. Both Pacquiao and Marquez have nothing to gain fighting a dangerous guy like Provodnikov, who lost to Timothy Bradley, and they have everything to lose.
Rest assured, Marquez and Pacquiao know they'll be seeing each other again one more time later this year in China. And boxing fans can also rest assured that if nothing else big happens this year in professional boxing, at least they have Pacquiao-Marquez V to look forward to this coming fall.

I doubt that there will be a bout five. And Da Manny will not be fighting the Siberian Rocky.
The only way that it would be a fifth dance is that Marquez deep inside of Hulkquez agrees to fight in Macao or Singapore or Dubai or Russia. And since Marquez is full of that syet, Da Manny must give him a waiver for VADA and or WADA testing.
Victor Conte, the convicted peddler of roids and PEDs, is losing his natural d@mn mind on social media about Marquez being full of dat syet during the dance against "Mile High" Mike.
And the fallen Angel "Memo" Heredia is REALLY throwing it in ev'ybodee's and dey momma's faces that he is the greatest getaway peddler of dat syet for all times.
Dude is now proclaiming himself a "science guru" and "sports medicine scientist" and has started himself a website peddling "Dinamita Series supplements."
And don't forget that the fallen Angel has bragged that he knows at least 20 roids and PEDs that cannot be detected by USADA and Vegas. But he suspects that Doc Maggie Goodman, CEO of VADA, will detect all dat syet all day and night 24/7/365. And exposed his arse.
The theatre of the unexpected is getting stranger and stranger. Holla!
Wow! Sam Langford and Harry Wills have the most bouts between any two pros at 23, according to the bible of boxing. Holla!
I'm Marquez, that series is done.
Please someone stop this fight from even being on the table of discussion. I will take a hiatus from the world of boxing if this fight comes to fruition.. NO THANKYOU!
I sure hope not... Talk about flogging a dead horse- Arum would be taking the pi$$ if he puts this on.
Marquez will not take the fight. No way- No how. He has bragging rights for eternity and will not give that up for any amount of money. Marquez will get some juicy fights now that the cold war is coming to an end.
Is this fight really necessary?....at this rate they'll be staging their fights in the nursing homes, Old Man Marquez should just walk off into the sunset.
Money comes and goes but the glory he has with that knock out will live on for many years even after his passing. To take the fight, no matter how many 0's are attached is a big risk. If he wins he will have improved his position considerably. If he was to lose... Then there goes his glory, all for a few million that will surely disappear in the near future.
I wouldn't buy it but I would watch it on HBO
What about Pac moving up to face the winner of Cotto vs MArtinez?
Sure Pac is way undersized but both Cotto and Sergio are long in the tooth.
Could be a way for Pac to win a MW title.
There will probably be a 5th Fight, i just dont see where else they can go to make the big PPV bucks...
But, i really don't wanna see it, Marquez will never win a decision again the Top Rank cash-cow and i can't see Manny getting that careleas again after what happened in their last fight.
I have marquez winning 2 fights, manny winning one and the first one was a draw..
Both of them need to stay away from the Russian!!!!!!
This would be another great fight but it's a risk for Marquez. Like many of you pointed out he has bragging rights from the previous fights, but he does want to win a fifth title, out the 3 champions who does he have the best chance of beating? Pacquiao, Porter, Mayweather.
Well we saw how it went with Floyd.
Sean Porter, Idk he's young and strong but can Marquez provide him with a boxing lesson if the cold war loosens up?
Pacquiao, he most likely will have to knock him out again to win. Is it possible yes, neither fighter is the same but Manny's safer approach could lead him to a decision over Marquez.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

TC TO JANE BAILLIE WELSH; 28 July 1823; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18230728-TC-JBW-01; CL 2:408-409.
Mainhill, 28th July, 1823—
My dear Jane,
I should have allowed this week to pass without troubling you, had it not been that you seemed anxious to get your Mother's Song1 without delay. The chain of causes and effects is truly wonderful. This old hunting-catch has often been vociferated in surly bass tones thro' the windpipes of twenty roystering Carlyles, greatly exciting their "swill of whisky and their flow of soul";2 and now that these worthy men are all dead and gone, and their descendants dwindled into pedlars and peasants, the same immortal rhyme procures to me their undeserving clansman the pleasure of writing to my best friend. I shall forgive the stalwart Laird for all his pranks, if he often serve me in such stead.
You must not drown yourself in the Nith, or anywhere else, till you see farther about you. The kind of life you are leading is in truth vexatious enough;—yielding no enjoyment in the present, and no result for the future but the sad thought of wasted time, it might tire a more prosaic character than you. "Too much of one thing" is an adage in all modern and ancient tongues. Even I am beginning to wish you home again: if you cannot manage it otherwise, I think you ought actually to set about "wearying them out" as soon as possible. Nevertheless you need not repine very much for all the mischief that has yet taken place. You have the prospect of a long and free life before you: plenty of days and months will remain after all abatements. These interruptions distress and irritate you, and it is natural they should: but no mortal ever got his whole time consecrated to worthy pursuits; and the history of literary men in particular should teach one patience under many obstructions. Cowper became an Author for the first time at fifty. Johnson in his old age said with a kind of gloomy pathos that "much of his life had been wasted under the pressures of disease, much of it had been trifled away, much of it had always been spent in making provision for the day that was passing over him";3 yet who would not say that Johnson did enough? You remember Milton; how he wrote Latin grammars, and taught schools, and fought in the arena of politics, as well as made Comus and Paradise Lost. Did not poor old Hooker write his Ecclesiastical Polity in the middle of gridirons and foul platters and squealing children, and what was worse than all, within earshot and arm's length of a scolding sooty hilding whom he had to wife?4 Alas! my dear Jane, this world, take it as we will, is made of most unpliant stuff. I should think myself happy could I promise that even one tenth part of my existence would be at my disposal for any purpose above those of the beasts that perish. But it will not be; and often it burns my heart to think it will not. For you however I see better things in store. Deep cause as you have to regret that best and truest Friend and Father, whom you lost so mournfully, and on whose memory you will ever dwell with such a sad fondness, I cannot but perceive that by far the most trying period of your life is already past with safety. No one will ever counsel you in difficulties with so faithful and disinterested a mind as that good man who is gone; no one!—not even I can speak to you once in ten times without some pitiful sneaking undercurrent less or more of selfish or half-selfish motives—for which I often heartily despise myself: but a counsellor that can never wilfully deceive you, your own judgement, is coming fast to maturity, and will bear you through triumphantly. There are the most ample materials to work upon, the best purposes, the best powers, and freedom to employ these advantages greater than falls to the lot of one in a hundred. I know you often ponder these things, and study plans for a long future: by degrees you will learn as you seriously search for it, the art of surmounting or evading the obstacles that thwart you, and of reaping their full profit from the many circumstances that favour you. I have prophecied your complete success a hundred times: I still prophecy it more undoubtingly than ever. There is no fear: if your will is steadfast enough, nothing can repel you.
Bad luck to Bride kirk! He cuts me off in the middle of my story, when I had a million of things to explain, and many that cannot wait. Will you write instantly and give me instant leave to answer? I begin to think I shall not see you: Heaven give me patience! I have been twenty minutes unhappier, but never more serious than even now. O that I could form some settled and feasible plan of life! I am weary of this wayfaring existence I have led so long: but what to do to alter it? God bless you!
T. Carlyle

5. Resto Glyphs
Major glyph options:
Note that the Efflorescence and innervate glyphs were removed. Most of these are minor upgrades for raiding in WOD. Glyph of stampede actually becomes a viable raid choice due to the reduction of movement boosts across most classes.
- Regrowth: Makes your regrowth have a 100% chance to crit, but takes away the HOT component.
- Wild Growth: Wild Growth can affect 1 more target (6 instead of 5), but the cooldown becomes 10 seconds instead of 8. I recommend this for 25-mans. This is situational for 10′s, and not helpful for 5′s.
- Rejuvenation: When you have rejuv active on 3 or more targets, your Healing Touch cast time is reduced by 10%. This has been improved now that it buffs HT.
- Blooming: Increases the size of Lifebloom's bloom (but reduces the duration and makes it no longer be refreshed by HT/Regrowth). More useful now that lifebloom no longer stacks to 3.
- Healing Touch: When you cast HT, the cooldown on your Nature's Swiftness is reduced by 2 seconds.
- Rebirth: Your targets return to life with 100% health instead of 60%.
- Glyph of stampede: Allows you to use stampeding roar in caster form & increases the radius. Given that movement is critical in a lot of fights, this is potentially a useful glyph if you want to be able to use stampeding roar and still heal.
Notable Minor glyphs:
- Glyph of the Sprouting Mushroom: You can use a targeting reticle to place shrooms on the ground, instead of shrooms being placed at the feet of your target. This allows for personal preference, since there isn't a "best" targeting system that works for everyone.
- Glyph of the Treant – Gives you a cosmetic old-style tree form shapeshift.
- Glyph of the Orca makes your swim form into an orca form.
- Glyph of Stag: Travel form has merged the ground travel, water travel, and flight form all into one single button that is supposed to morph when you change environments. The Glyph of Stag will split Flight Form from this merged travel form (in addition to letting party members ride on your back). However, the "travel form" will still go into the swim/water form even when someone is on your back. So, if you are carrying someone on your back in stag form, don't go in water or you will drop them!
