EUGENE, Ore. - Associate Athletic Director Vin Lananna, who oversaw the resurgence of the University of Oregon track and field programs following impressive coaching stops at Stanford and Dartmouth, will be inducted into the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Hall of Fame on Wednesday in Orlando, Fla.
The Class of 2012, which was initially announced in July, includes Dick Booth, Dick Hill, Bob Pollock, Fran Welch, and John Zupanc in addition to Lananna.
Lananna, who stepped aside as Oregon's head coach this summer after seven remarkable seasons directing the Men and Women of Oregon, joins legendary Oregon leaders Bill Bowerman, Bill Dellinger, Bill Hayward and Tom Heinonen in this honor. Not only a successful coach, but also a leading administrator and organizer, Lananna has managed a decade that could be matched in the profession by few others.
In a coaching career that has spanned 35 years, Lananna has led teams to 11 NCAA titles and 42 conference crowns, while almost 60 NCAA individual titles have been awarded to athletes under his guidance. During his tenure, athletes have established collegiate, American and World records. He has served on coaching staffs for Team USA, and in 2011 he was the head coach of the United States men's team at the IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea.
The Men of Oregon captured NCAA titles in cross country during the 2007 and 2008 seasons and notched the indoor track & field crown in 2009. UO also won the USTFCCCA's John McDonnell Program of the Year awards for the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school years.
Lananna also presided over perhaps the best individual season in the history of men's collegiate distance running. Galen Rupp became the first person ever to win six distance national championships during the same academic year. Rupp was the 2008 NCAA individual cross country champion, the 2009 NCAA Indoor 3,000 and 5,000 meter champion, the 2009 NCAA Outdoor 5,000 and 10,000 meter champion, and anchored Oregon's winning indoor distance medley relay team. Rupp was also the Pac-10 cross country medalist and won the league's 10,000 meter title and capped his collegiate career by winning the title at the USA Track and Field Championships at Historic Hayward Field. Rupp was the inaugural winner of The Bowerman - an award bestowed to the most outstanding collegiate track & field athlete of the year - in 2009.
Ashton Eaton won The Bowerman in 2010 after setting the world record in the heptathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Oregon's women have been on top of the headlines most recently. The Ducks are the three-time defending indoor national champions and have finished runner-up outdoors in three of the last four years. Oregon has also swept the last four USTFCCCA Terry Crawford Women's Program of the Year awards. The most consistent figure for the Ducks during that time has been Brianne Theisen who won eight NCAA titles - including three in the indoor pentathlon and three in the outdoor heptathlon. Theisen is a finalist for The Bowerman in 2012, which will be announced Wednesday night.
However, it is Lananna's leadership in track and field that has made the most significant impact on the sport. As President of TrackTown USA, an organization helping to elevate the popularity of track and field in the United States, Lananna has spearheaded campaigns to bring the nation's most prestigious meets to Historic Hayward Field, while establishing the Oregon Track Club Elite as an accomplished club whose athletes have set world records and won Olympic medals. The initiatives undertaken in TrackTown USA have benefited youth and community programs throughout the state of Oregon.
He has been a driving force behind the University's bids that landed the Trials, the 2010, 2013 and 2014 NCAA Track & Field Championships, the 2009 and 2011 USATF Championships, and the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships. Lananna also served as the head men's coach for Team USA at the 2011 IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Daegu, South Korea.
From July 22-27, 2014 the next generation of the world's stars will represent nearly 200 countries when they compete in the 15th IAAF World Junior Championships at Hayward Field, marking the first time since 1992 that the sport's international governing body has brought one of its championship events to the United States.
Prior to his arrival at Oregon, Lananna served as athletic director at Oberlin College in Ohio. At the internationally-renowned liberal arts institution, he led the revitalization and reorganization of the department of athletics and physical education. His efforts to improve fundraising and enhance the department's resources allowed Oberlin to increase staffing and upgrade facilities, including the construction of a new stadium for soccer, lacrosse, and track and field.
Renowned for his ability to develop talent, Lananna's reputation as an exceptional coach was secured during his tenure as director of track and field at Stanford University from 1992 to 2003. In his time at Stanford, Lananna built one of the nation's elite programs. His cross country and track and field teams claimed five NCAA team championships, 35 top-10 NCAA finishes, and 22 NCAA individual titles. The Cardinal men and women also won 17 Pacific-10 Conference team titles and 45 individual conference crowns in addition to 15 West Regional cross country championships. His athletes excelled in national and international competition, representing Team USA at the Olympic Games and the IAAF World Championships.
At Stanford, Lananna received three National Coach of the Year cross country honors, nine West Region Cross Country Coach of the Year awards, ten Pacific-10 Cross Country Coach of the Year honors, and two Pacific-10 Track and Field Coach of the Year awards. He also served on the NCAA Track and Field Committee from 2001-03. In 2004, Lananna traveled to Greece as an assistant coach for Team USA at the Olympic Games in Athens. He has also served as an assistant coach at the 1999 Track and Field World Championships and as head coach in the 1990 and 1996 World Championships and 1994 World Junior Championships in cross country.
Lananna's leadership and vision for the future of track and field positioned Stanford as a destination for elite collegiate and post-collegiate competition. Athletes from across the country came to "The Farm" to participate in high performance invitationals designed to optimize athletic performance. His commitment to advancing the sport also led to the creation of a post-collegiate club team based at Stanford, and the University hosted the 2002 and 2003 USA Outdoor Championships and an annual IAAF Grand Prix meet.
Lananna arrived at Stanford after serving as assistant athletic director and head coach for cross country and track and field at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H.
From 1980 until 1992, his men's and women's cross country teams posted a combined seven NCAA top-20 finishes-including men's runner-up efforts in 1986 and 1987-and 37 combined All-America cross country and track and field awards. The men's team won 13 Heptagonal League titles and the women had six runner-up finishes. In recognition of the teams' accomplishments, he was named the 1986 NCAA Men's Cross Country Coach of the Year and was a seven- time New England Region Men's Cross Country Coach of the Year and a four-time New England Track and Field Coach of the Year.
His coaching career began in 1975 when Lananna was named head coach of cross country at his alma mater, C.W. Post in Greenvale, NY. As an athlete (1971-75), he ran cross country and track and field and was captain of the 1974 team that finished fourth in the NCAA Division II Championships. He received his Master's of arts degree from Long Island University in 1989.
Lananna and his wife, Elizabeth, reside in Eugene, Ore. Their sons Brian and Scott are graduates of Dartmouth College.

For years, the old sandstone quarries on the county's west side have been little more than holes in the ground filling up with water.
Truth be told, they weren't much more than remnants of the county's past.
|Stuart Lichter
But a California developer wants to make them part of the county's future with plans for an upscale community in a natural setting with amenities ranging from an equestrian center to a 100-foot waterfall.
Industrial Realty Group President Stuart Lichter's vision for the property isn't going to be quick or cheap. The project, expected to take seven to 10 years, has a price tag in the $500 million range.
Lichter said the largely residential project, which eventually will have 1,150 homes ranging in price from $750,000 to $1.3 million on nearly 1,000 acres, will be focused on preserving the rustic natural feel that's already there. About 70 percent of the land around the quarries will remain untouched.
"We hope to make the entire site pretty unobtrusive and not disturb what's there," he said.
Beyond the homes, the property will include a hotel/conference center, hiking, biking and horse trails, indoor and outdoor swimming facilities, an indoor fitness center, indoor tennis, basketball and racquetball courts, a beach, and access to boating, skeet shooting, ice skating, fishing, orienteering, sled riding, and sleigh and carriage rides.
Lichter said the homes will range from condominiums and townhouses to homes with their own stables. While IRG will build some of the homes, future residents will be able to buy land and have their own custom homes built, but they will have to adhere to strict design standards focusing heavily on glass, wood and local sandstone.
The company hopes to minimize damage to the woods in the area and will limit the size of homes and require permits to remove trees.
Although Lichter said outdoor-activity focused developments have been done in the West, those are largely in wide-open areas with little other nearby development.
"I don't think anything like this has been done so close to a major city," he said, mentioning the proximity to Cleveland.
Although the plan includes a clubhouse featuring a hotel and conference center, most of the development won't be open to the public. However, Lichter said some of the amenities would be available to the public through day passes and to those using the clubhouse.
"We want to make people who live there feel it's protected and is private and still have some controlled public access," he said.
County commissioners and other public officials had high praise for the project.
"Your vision is almost overwhelming," Amherst Township trustee Dennis Abraham told Lichter on Tuesday at Lorain County Community College, where the plan was unveiled.
Construction on the project, which is expected to generate 1,000 to 2,000 jobs, likely won't begin until the county can run a $26 million sewer line from a wastewater treatment plant on Lorain's west side to the site. The county completed preliminary engineering on the sewer at a cost of about $400,000 two years ago, when British developer Trans European Securities was weighing a $1.25 billion investment at the site for a sprawling golf community.
County Administrator Jim Cordes said although the county still needs to secure easements for the sewer and get the blessing of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, he hopes work will begin on the sewer line in the spring. He said he promised IRG the sewer would be ready in two years.
One of the concerns regarding the sewer line is the engineering difficulties posed by the area's sandstone base. Lichter said his understanding is that the sewer lines will be run about 6 feet beneath the ground — where the sandstone is largely rubble and dirt and not solid. Basements could be quarried from the solid rock and then that sandstone could be used in building homes, he said.
What the impact of such a massive development will be on the surrounding area is unclear. A tax-increment financing plan will fund the sewer project, but traffic studies to gauge the impact on the existing roads have yet to be completed, Lichter said.
But the sewers likely will open up land for development, including the likelihood of new schools for Firelands Schools, Cordes said.
Lichter said he isn't certain what stores and other amenities his new community will need nearby that don't already exist.
"I think there will be some peripheral development," he said.
Cordes said South Amherst and Amherst and Brownhelm townships, where the quarry land lies, will almost definitely see some development that will support the project. That development could also spill over to Amherst and other nearby communities, he said.
The county is already estimating the impact from the jobs that will be created by the construction and later, when residents move into the project, will run at least in the $500 million to $600 million range, if not higher, county Commissioner Ted Kalo said.
Closing the deal
Lichter said he first heard of the property about two years ago from former Lorain Mayor Craig Foltin, who urged him to take a look at the property when Lichter was considering purchasing Ford's former Lorain Assembly Plant, which IRG is now renovating.
Lichter said he had no idea what he would do with a quarry and didn't think about it again until contacted by American Stone, which owns the property.
When he looked at the site, Lichter said he fell in love with its natural setting.
"We're not going to ruin what's there," he said.
Although Lichter hasn't done a development like this before — his company has made its name by reinventing defunct industrial buildings — he said he didn't see how the Trans European plan, which included building a massive dome over part of the project, would have worked.
Golf communities, Lichter said, are fairly common and aren't selling as well as they used to, and he doubts the commercial elements Trans European had planned to include in its project would have done well.
"In Lorain County, there's no demand for that amount of commercial space," he said. "In my view, they never would have got it finalized."
American Stone cut off negotiations with Trans European in March after several deals to buy the land fell apart. In September, IRG announced it would purchase the land and the rest of the company's assets, including its quarrying operations in Erie County, for $22 million. That deal is expected to be finalized today, said American Stone President Russ Ciphers Sr.

Food & Recipes Kids
Advice Dessert
Baking with kids. It's one of those things that as a mom, I know I should be doing. But as a sort of frantic, totally spastic baker who rarely follows the instructions, well baking with little ones sort of makes me a bit crazy. But this year, I've vowed to slow down. To savor the moments. To enjoy the journey. Which means that every Sunday, Audrey and I bake. And she gets to pick the recipes. And I don't try to steal her baking thunder by doing everything myself. I really let her play. Which also means that sometimes Whoopie Pies, turn into Whoopie Cookies. A deflated but wildly delicious version of the original.
Okay so before we dive into the recipes, I thought I'd share a few tips for baking with kids…whether it's your rambunctious 4 year old niece or your curious 2 year old son. All ages can partake in the fun.
1. Pre-measure everything. You don't need large bags of flour and sugar out on the countertop that tempt little hands into dumping them out. Premeasure everything into large, easy to hold measuring cups. Kids as young as 2 can be the official "pourer" of the dry ingredients. Let the older ones pour the wet ingredients.
2. Set the rules. Grown-up handles all electric anythings. Whether it's an oven, a beater or a mixer, little fingers need to keep to themselves during these steps. And tasting is only allowed when said electric tool is on the off position. Oh and washed hands are a must.
3. Set the height. We bake at our kitchen table because it's far easier for the little ones to sit and stir as opposed to balance on a stool and stir.
4. Perfection is negotiable. Remember that perfection flies out the window when baking with little ones and that happy accidents are often the most delicious.
5. Let your little ones really, really participate. Fill a pastry bag just for them, give them a small bowl of icing to help with the final steps. Give them a spatula to help pull the icing out the bowl or a large bowl filled with chocolate chips to add as the final ingredient. Even steps that feel more grown-up can be simplified for the little ones. And the pride that they take in seeing their hard work turn into something wonderful is worth every last effort.
adapted and inspired by Whoopie Pies
1 2/3 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup finely shaved semi sweet chocolate
4 tbs unsalted butter, softened
4 tbs vegetable shortening
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup milk
Preheat the oven to 375, using the center rack. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Stir together the dry ingredients – flour, coco powder, baking soda, salt, and shaved chocolate. Using a mixer on low speed, beat the butter, shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and the vanilla and mix until well combined. Add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk and beat. Scrape down those pesky sides and add the rest of the flour and the milk. Beat until fully incorporated.
Using a pastry bag (or a tablespoon coated in a VERY light coat of oil) create little silver dollar sized circles, about 1-1.5″ each trying to stay consistent in size and leaving about 2″ between each cookie. More for larger circles. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool completely.
1 stick of butter, unsalted
8 ounces cream cheese, unsalted
2 cups of powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Beat your butter and cream cheese together until well mixed. Add in powdered sugar about 1/4 cup at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in your vanilla.
Fill your pastry bag with the frosting and pipe into one half of the cooled chocolate cookies. Place the other half of the cookies on top to form your whoopie pie cookies!

5 Places to Go During Singapore's Grand Prix
The Butter Factory hosts 1,200 patrons on most nights, but for hopeful partygoers lined up outside, it can feel a lot more crowded.
Since it opened in 2006, the nightclub, which targets an audience of young professionals, has become one of the biggest draws in the Singapore party circuit. It has hosted the likes of Chingy and Ja Rule for performances, and artists like Devil Robots and Pete Fowler for the live mural drawing events it organizes.
Singapore's nightlife heats up over the course of the city's F1 Grand Prix, the only F1 race that takes place at night. "The whole city comes alive over the Grand Prix weekend," says Celeste Chong, the Butter Factory's co-founder. "Everyone is out that weekend and in the mood to party."
Ms. Chong recommends five places to see and be seen during the Singapore Grand Prix. It begins Sept. 23, but the parties start this weekend.
Worldwide Festival Singapore, Closing Party: This party takes place on Sunday at Tanjong Beach Club, located on the resort island of Sentosa. "This happens a week before the Grand Prix weekend itself, but still falls within the Grand Prix season," she says. "Tanjong Beach Club is the place to be at on a Sunday, and this 12-hour beach party should not be missed."
Sept. 18 at Tanjong Beach Club, Sentosa Island.
Avalon at Large presents Go!: This event is hosted by the nightclub Avalon, which is based at the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. "I didn't go last year but heard it was good," Ms. Chong says. "This is a mega party with killer lineup of performers and guest DJs. There are so many big names in one night."
Sept. 21-25 at Avalon, Crystal Pavilion, Marina Bay Sands, 2 Bayfront Avenue, B2-05.
Johnnie Walker Jet Black Party: The invite-only party is organized by Diageo, the wine and spirits company. "This party tops my list! Steal, beg, or kill for an invite if you have to," she says. "The venue is amazing, and even more amazing is the free flow of Johnnie Walker cocktails all night long."
Sept. 24 at One on the Bund, 80 Collyer Quay, Clifford Pier.
Pit Stop Saturday With ATB at Zouk and Azari & III at Velvet Underground: Founded in 1991, Zouk also has an outpost in Kuala Lumpur. "Making it past your third year in club land is no mean feat," Ms. Chong says. "Zouk, which is Singapore's oldest club, has been in the scene for 20 years. It is definitely on the to-do list."
Sept. 24 at Zouk, 17 Jiak Kim St.
Amber Lounge: The Amber Lounge is a party hosted by Sonia Irvine, the sister of former F1 racer Eddie Irvine, who brings the concept to countries that host the F1 Grand Prix.
Ms. Chong: "Go just so you can say you've been to a glamorous F1 party."
Sept. 24 and 25 at Temasek Reflection, Waterfall Behind Millenia Walk.

It's a tool for employers -- for communicating with customers and creating an employment brand. Recent SHRM polls found a growing use of social media in employers' recruiting and screening strategies. It's also increasingly popular with employees, who interact with their personal and professional networks before, during and after work hours. And the use of social media will continue to evolve as new tools and providers become available. This webcast will answer the following questions and more: What are legally safe ways to use social media in the hiring process? What do you do when your social media use reveals information about an applicant's protected status (e.g., age, disability)? Who "owns" the professional contacts your employees make during their on-the-job use of social media? What types of messages can you prohibit employees from posting? The program will begin with an overview of research conducted by SHRM into employers' use of social media and it will also explore the recent report by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on what can -- and can't -- be included in a social media policy. About the presenters: William S. Helfand is a shareholder in the law firm Chamberlain Hrdlicka in Houston, Texas. He leads Chamberlain Hrdlicka's labor, employment and civil rights litigation group. He also also handles commercial and other large-scale litigation. Mr. Helfand's labor and employment law practice focuses on the defense of both public and private employers throughout Texas and the United States. He has achieved considerable success in the defense of labor and employment cases of all types. Mr. Helfand is actively involved in labor, employment and civil rights and governmental liability training as well as training employers and managers, governmental officials and employees. In addition, he has served as an adjunct instructor for Sam Houston State University's law enforcement and corrections management professional development programs. Shawn Fegley is a survey research analyst in SHRM's Research Division. He conducted and analyzed results from SHRM studies on social media and employers' usage.

Publicise costs of govt projects
Posted Thursday, June 19 2014 at 01:00
The move to finance 81 per cent of our budget is laudable and this should even be fast-tracked to reach 100 per cent in the near future.
Nonetheless, one of the most disturbing issues whether factual or not is that the cost of major projects in Uganda is sometimes three times the cost of similar projects in the other East African countries. Take, for example, the cost of ID project in Uganda which we are told compared to similar ID projects in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda, is way too high. Ugandans may not have the facts but it is the duty of government to provide the facts and allay these fears in order for citizens to appreciate government's good intentions.
I would suggest that before government commits funds to any major project, let there be a comparative analysis and sharing of the costs incurred by our EAC member states on similar projects so as to comfort the tax payers who are the bed rock of a self-sustaining economy that Uganda aspires to be. This way, I for one would not complain about paying the tax.

Sipping on a cup of black tea, Frances Peddle seems humbled when she's told she's now the oldest person in Newfoundland and Labrador.
© — Photo by Frank Gale/The Western Star
Frances Peddle, the oldest person in the province, is celebrating her 108th birthday today.
Peddle turns 108 years of age today.
"Imagine, I'm the oldest," she says in little more than a whisper when told of the milestone by her daughter, Margaret Bennett.
While her short-term memory has waned somewhat, Peddle still remembers things from way back — sometimes even memories of her childhood.
And she's still witty, catching her son-in-law, Ivan Bennett, with smart one-liners. He said he's amazed at how quick Peddle can come up with them, considering her age.
While Peddle had some surgeries in her 90s, she is doing just fine physically and mentally.
As she sings contentedly in the living room, the Bennetts say they don't know the particular song and neither does Peddle. But the couple, with whom Peddle lives, feel it's calming and they're assured she's OK while she's singing.
Peddle became the oldest person in the province with the death of Margaret Ellen Moores, from Rushoon on the Burin Peninsula, who died in late April at the age of 108. Moores, or Aunt Maggie as she was fondly known, was born Nov. 5, 1905, making her about six months older than Peddle.
Peddle was born Frances Harnum in Greens Harbour, Trinity Bay, on May 29, 1906, where she attended school and left home for St. John's to work as a housekeeper at the age of 15.
She left St. John's to live with her sister in Montreal, but eventually made her way to Corner Brook, where she worked as a housekeeper and met and married Loyola (Bob) Bernard. The couple raised two sons and four daughters, one of whom is now deceased.
Mrs. Bernard, as she was better known in Corner Brook, continued to work at housekeeping for "well-to-do" families on the west side of the city. She also cleaned offices at Bowaters Pulp and Paper Mill, cleaned public schools on Park Street and West Street and offices at Hickman's.
Peddle continued to work after her husband died, but went home to Greens Harbour to take care of her ailing mother in 1966.
In 1968, she married her second husband, Elijah Peddle of New Perlican, Trinity Bay, who had three daughters and five sons. She welcomed the expanded family and always considered her stepchildren her own.
When Elijah died, she moved to Davidsville to live with her daughter, Margaret. They later moved back to Corner Brook, where they lived for 15 years, then to Stephenville Crossing, where they reside today. Peddle has been living with Margaret and Ivan for the past 26 years.
Peddle has been a dedicated volunteer, offering her time to work as a Legionnaire, with the Fishermen's Lodge, the Ladies Orange Benevolent Association and the Anglican Church Women's Group, of which she is a lifetime member.
Peddle's resolve to help out was so strong that she didn't give up catering until she reached the age of 90.
The Bennetts are hosting an open house at their Brook Street home in Stephenville Crossing for those who might want to drop by with well wishes for Peddle on her 108th birthday. They already know her daughters, who live in the province, and her two sons will be there for the special day.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 17 May 1834; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18340517-TC-MAC-01; CL 7:156-158.
4. Ampton Street, Grey's Inn Road / London, 17th May (Saturday) [1834]
My Dear Mother,
I am arrived safely here, and living in my old quarters. I got in on Tuesday, having suffered no damage; had good weather all the way, but the last twelve hours, when it rained, but could not wet me. I have great cause of thankfulness: friends are all kind to me; I seem to meet nothing but friends. Mrs Strachey too is here, and gave me a most kind reception; I told her I had bidden you not fear about my waygoing, for that my prayer was if I went not with God, He might not send me hither; under which guidance, no evil could come of it. To which she answered, with the kindest emphasis, "No, none." I often also repeat to myself: "They cannot hinder thee of God's Providence";1 no, they cannot. These few words, which I write in extreme haste, in momently expectation of the Postman, will be a great comfort to you.
As yet there is no house got; only abundance examined; and a certainty of getting one. We have been all wrong; there is no Whitsunday in London, the people flit [move] at any time! I might as well, had I known, have staid at home, till Jane too went.
There is the Postman's Bell, and then my frank will be lost! I have written at great length to Jane, who will read it all to you, when she comes.
Many times my dear Mother has your image come over me; but I let it not be with sadness. Nay what will you think if I often hummed "fairest Phillis"2 on the Coach-roof, and actually when I first saw the great smokey immeasurable London sung to myself with a kind of real defiance, and the right tune, "th'ere seven foresters in yon forest, and them I want to see"!3
You shall have plenty of news from me were we settled, a frank every two or at farthest every three weeks; the newspaper weekly: and remember I am very punctual.
Finally, my dear Mother, commit me in your prayers to God, by whose will I desire to live and to die. With whom are we not all present?
My health is good, rather better even.— You must learn to write; you must try to write, let me rather say, and you can already do it.— There is no fair chance here for reading: but I will write plainer the next time.
My love to Jenny to Jamie, to Mary when you see her. She had a bit nice breakfast for us, and I shall yet eat more with her.
Send me a Newspaper directed hither.
May God's blessing be with you, my dear Mother, and with you all!
Ever your affectionate /
T. Carlyle.
You shall very soon hear more of me.

|+44 114 222 7911
I gained my PhD from Lancaster University and spent a number of years as a postdoctoral researcher at Lancaster University and the University of Durham, before joining the department in 2007. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2013.
Research Interests
Social change, sustainability and everyday life; theories of practice; socio-technical systems; energy; food; waste.
Current research
My work is concerned with understanding social change in relation to sustainability, through a focus on everyday life and the socio-technical systems that shape it. My research engages with geographical and sociological theories of practice, materiality and everyday life, as well as with science and technology studies, and literature on the structures and processes of governing. Research and writing has covered issues relating to biodiversity, waste, food, mobility and energy.
Current funded research takes this programme forward through two projects:
Recently completed projects include:
Consumer culture in an age of anxiety (CONANX) was a four-year research programme led by Professor Peter Jackson and funded by the European Research Council. As co-investigator on the programme, I led a three-year work package, working with Dr Angela Meah to explore negotiations of anxiety in mundane domestic food provisioning practices. Through exploring the uncertain relations between official messages around food and the routinised coordination of what goes on in the kitchen, this research illuminated key issues in the relations between governing and everyday practice.
Waste Prevention was a research project being undertaken by Dr Ana Paula Bortoleto under a Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowship, for which I was Scientist in Charge. The project explored commonalities and contrasts in domestic waste minimisation practices between Sheffield and Sao Paulo.
In keeping with the research-led teaching strategy of the University and of the Department of Geography, my teaching is closely aligned with my research. In much of my teaching, the topics, concepts and knowledge which I help students learn about are related to my own research on themes of sustainability, governing, technologies and consumption. Through modules like Environment, Society and Policy or Geographies of Consumption, a key aim is to engage students critically with big geographical themes, like climate change, food security, well being and social justice, and with contemporary ways of thinking about them, by reflecting upon their own lives as members of the society which produces and responds to these issues.
In 2014/15 I am convenor and teaching:
Level 2
Level 3
Like all academic staff in the department, I also engage in personal supervision and tutoring of individual undergraduate students at all three levels, including through the following modules:
Key Publications
Research Interests
Social change, sustainability and everyday life; theories of practice; socio-technical systems; energy; food; waste.
Other Interests
I have provided peer review and served in reporting and advisory roles for national and international research councils including the UK Economic and Social Research Council, the UK Research Councils' Energy Programme, Research Council of Norway, Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences, the Leverhulme Trust and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. I have been an invited peer reviewer for over 20 scholarly journals and reviewed manuscripts and proposals for publishers including Sage, Routledge and Polity, as well as acting as a PhD external examiner in the UK and internationally.

Rdio, the music streaming service started by a co-founder of Skype, is getting into video.
New and current subscribers of a $10-a-month unlimited music plan from Rdio (AR-dee-oh) will get $25 to spend in the new digital store for video, called Vdio (VEE-dee-oh).
The content will work on personal computers and Apple's iPad for now. It's opening at first to users in the U.S. and Britain. The latest TV episodes from shows such as "The Walking Dead" will sell for about $3 each and will be in high definition, while movies such as "Zero Dark Thirty" will cost from $3 to rent to $20 to buy.
Rdio Chief Executive Drew Larner said the plan is for users to get ideas about what to watch based on the music they and their friends love, and the other way around.
For instance, fans of Adele's hit single "Skyfall" might want to watch the James Bond movie of the same name, or viewers of the 1978 documentary "The Last Waltz" might want to listen to music by The Band, the subject of that movie.

For the time being, enrollment in health insurance plans through exchanges established via the Affordable Care Act, A.K.A. Obamacare, is surging.
Following a disastrous roll-out of the federal (and some state) online exchanges in October, many in the administration are breathing a bit easier now as millions of Americans have stepped up to enroll.
But there are a number of underlying factors at work here that could see the undoing of any progress made thus far, and once again put one of the most controversial laws ever passed back on shaky ground, the National Journal reported Friday.
Numbers are one thing – and so far, the administration is seeing numbers of enrollees – but enrolling and then paying premiums is something quite different. And at some point this spring, the administration will have to divulge just how many enrollees have paid. Some analysts say when that happens, there will be quite a disparity between the numbers of people who have signed up and those who have ponied up their premiums.
According to anecdotal evidence provided by some insurance companies, somewhere around 20-30 percent of enrollees have not yet paid for their coverage, National Journal said.
"And in real-world impact, it doesn't mean that anyone has lost their insurance; it simply means they signed up to buy a plan that, for whatever reason, they're not going to actually buy," the website reported.
When the actual numbers do come out, politically speaking, Republicans are more likely to benefit; the GOP has long opposed the Affordable Care Act, and based on some recent polling data, opposition to the law has risen after following its glitch-prone Oct. 1 launch. Also, Americans have been upset by a number of broken promises made by President Obama and other Democrats over the loss of plans they thought they could keep, as well as dramatic increases in premiums and deductibles for others.
Democrats seem to understand they are vulnerable. Jim Manley, a Democratic strategist and former aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, told NJ: "The White House has got to be as transparent as possible from here on out. The last thing they can afford to do is get tripped up."
But there is no slam-dunk in politics, as the GOP has a way of overplaying its hand. And there is this: If the law, somehow, begins to click, both in terms of policy and with the public, then that advantage shifts to the Democrats.
It's a long time until November, politically speaking.

Click HERE for Pepsi Red-Blue game information
Opening Statement
"Saturday's workout went well. We opened it up because of Parents Weekend; that kind of thing.
"Thursday, we'll have the Red-Blue Scrimmage, and we're still not exactly sure who is going to be on which team, but for right now one team will have Mustafa Shakur, Daniel Dillon, Marcus Williams, Ivan Radenovic, Mohamed Tangara and Kirk Walters. Kirk will be back after practice today, hopefully he'll be able to go on Thursday [for at least part of the scrimmage]. The other team will have Chase [Budinger], J.P. [Prince], Fendi [Onobun], Bret [Brielmaier] and Jordan [Hill]. Primarily, it will be underclassmen against veterans, but we'll adjust that as we see practice today and tomorrow. We'll probably use Jawann [McClellan] on both teams, and there may be some changing around over the course of the game. It will be a good chance for them to be out there with regular officials, game uniforms and that kind of thing. It has always been a valuable experience, especially for our young guys.
"With how things have been going right now, the biggest concern is on the defensive end. We've been getting some very aggressive play on the perimeter from Mustafa, Marcus and Daniel. We have a lot of other people who need to step up and play harder and more consistently. We taped the scrimmage on Saturday, as we do all our practices, and the coaches then sit down and have sessions with individuals or two or three guys at a time. I think that proved very valuable based on yesterday's practice; in terms of pressure on the ball and that kind of thing. Right now, defense is a big focus and getting the consistency out of the inside is also a focus right now.
"Mohamed has been our best rebounder. Fendi has done a nice job in that regard, as well as Jordan Hill, and Ivan, of course, with the four spot.
We'll use the intra-squad Blue/Red on Thursday night, and we'll turn it around with a full scrimmage on Saturday to see the kind of conditioning we have, in terms of putting two games together in one week. Of course, it will be more demanding than probably two regular games, because we'll be using all of our guys. We'll try to have six guys on each team and try to rotate big guys with both teams. It's going as well as can be expected.
"The first couple weeks are always kind of good news-bad news. The good news is our guy scored; the bad news is one of our guys was guarding him."
If the season started today, would Jawann McClellan be ready to play 25 minutes in a game?
"He'd be ready to go. I wouldn't necessarily say 25 [minutes], I'd say 20 because the pace of the game and the demand defensively would be such right now that I don't think he'd be ready to go more than half the time."
Outside of when McClellan has been tired, has he played pretty well?
"Yeah, he has. He played well on Saturday, but it also depends on who he is playing with. He looked good with one group, and then he did not look good with another group. When you're limited in the time you can be out there, your timing is not what it should be."
What about Fendi Onobun?
"We're keeping him completely at the four position. We tried to have him at the three and four, but he has to become more comfortable at one position. If that happens during the course of the year, we may take a look at him at the three, but we're deeper on the perimeter than we are at the four spot. Fendi has always been a conscientious young man, and he's making really good progress. When I look at the defensive charts from last Thursday and Friday and then from Saturday and Monday, you can see the improvement as he gains more confidence. He is very quick to the ball and there are still some concepts defensively that he has to absorb, but we're pleased with what we've seen over the last week and a half.
"We're sorting that everyday in practice, but it will give us an opportunity to see them with regular officials. On Saturday, we had some guys get in what would have been foul trouble really early in the game. In regular game situations out there, we have to see if we can defend well without fouling.
"Generally speaking, they will a little bit. The purpose of this is to help them deal with that (foul trouble), so we don't have to deal with it in a real game. That's another reason why the exhibitions are really important to us. They're playing against guys other than the ones they've been playing against in practice. Hopefully with this and with the two exhibition games, we should have most of that out of their system. It's always more difficult opening on the road, than at home. I don't think any of those three would be the kind that would allow crowds or anything else to bother them. That's a great thing about the veterans; they do everything they can to prepare them for what life will be like on the road."
What's the competition like in practice?
"There's a lot of competition from an offensive standpoint. There are also some guys who are behind on the defensive end. Frankly, that's what is going to make a difference of who's on the court. Anyone who has been around here for any length of time, in particular the players, know that it's ?'defend or sit.' The effort overall has been good, but it's not necessarily easy to stop some of the guys that we have. On the other hand, if the guys will work hard at that and be able to slow down some of the people we have, we'll do well against other teams."
What kind of progress has Kirk Walters made? How is coming back from an injury affecting him?
"Kirk has probably been in full-workouts for two days. There's no question that is going to affect him. However, he's been here for four years, so it's not going to affect him like a freshman. If a freshman missed that much, he'd have a difficult time catching up during the entire year. With a veteran, like Jawann, he understands what we want, and Kirk does too. The biggest thing with both of them is the conditioning and the timing."
What is it like having Matt Brase on staff?
"It's good to have Matt because it's just like with Miles [Simon] and Josh [Pastner]. Matt understands what goes into this program. He's a hard worker, he'll represent the program really well, and he has that pride of being a Wildcat. It's not a case of him having to learn that. That's also the case with Jesse [Mermuys]. He grew up here in
"[Brase] has been a fan since he was two years old. I remember seeing him just prior to when the teams came out to the bench, and seeing him crawling up to his mom. He's been a U of A fan probably longer than anyone else out there."
What has the response been like for your new book?
"The response has been very heartening, as far as I'm concerned. I've had emails from people from all around the country that they enjoyed the book because it's not a basketball book ?- it's a life story book. The response that I've gotten is that it's a hard book to put down. They've laughed a lot, they've used a lot of Kleenex. The emotions and enjoyable things you go through in coaching and also the very difficult things that one goes through [are included]. The response has been very good. At this point, I've signed between five and six thousand copies."
Do you have information on the CatWalk?

Despite the disgust of evolutionists and atheists, youthful 'students' have no difficulty in seeing the loving purpose of God in the things that he has made.
Such things as why water in lakes is flat have no purpose at all, in the eyes of evolutionists.
But children disagree. Lakes are as flat are for a loving purpose, to allow animals to drink more easily.
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, therefore, God perfects his praise. How excellent is his name throughout the earth!

Women's Tennis Completes Day One At Bronco Invitational
Sept. 17, 2004
2004 Bronco Invitational Day One Results in PDF Format
Kalamazoo, Mich.- It was a strong opening performance for the University of Illinois at Chicago women's tennis team in their first day back in intercollegiate action at the Bronco Invitational at Western Michigan on Friday.
Junior Beatriz Cabrera led the team with two convincing singles victories in the Flight "A" main draw, downing Illinois' Momei Qu in two, posting a 6-2, 6-3 win, and defeating Western Michigan's Rattiya Hiranrat, 6-3, 6-2, in the next round.
Cabrera, who ranked 92nd in the nation in the recent ITA Preseason Rankings, will face Indiana's Dora Vastag on Saturday.
Fellow junior Iris Jaklin won her first match of the day, winning a 6-2, 6-3 contest over Ball State's Katie Owens before dropping a 6-1, 6-2 battle with Eastern Michigan's Victoria Domina in Flight "A" singles.
Melanie Humphrey chalked up a 6-2, 6-4 win over Marquette's Francina Bonnelly, then gave Ball State's Jessica Thompson all she could handle in a 6-2, 7-6 (4) loss.

You Are Not Even Wrong About the Cloud - Part 3
By RickG on Mar 21, 2014
The next area of Cloud computing subject to the distorting effect of orthogonality has to do with the way many people want to start to use the Cloud. The most common starting place is to try to move existing applications to the Cloud.
People want to migrate an existing application to a new environment. Migration, by its very nature, is orthogonal. In a migration effort, you invest effort and resources and take on risk to achieve the goal of having the same application you used to have. So there are costs for the migration effort, without an direct benefit over what you have now from that effort. Of course, there are other benefits that come from a migration, such as a simpler or most cost-effective environment, but these are not directly related to the migration itself. This is the definition of orthogonality – benefits from one area and costs from another.
However, the hope that a migration to the Cloud will be effortless is founded on a basic misconception about the Cloud. The Cloud is not magic – reduced costs are not suddenly available through magic Cloud pixie dust. Although Cloud vendors may get their underlying components at a bigger discount because they buy larger quantities, this savings is offset by the need for these companies to make a profit on their services.
The way the Cloud saves money is through automation. Cloud vendors automate various IT maintenance tasks and operations, and, by doing so, can scale with less expense. Pretty much all the cost benefits from the Cloud stem from this core fact. Even a technical feature like multi-tenancy is a way to automate the support of many individual tenants on a fixed pool of IT resources.
The use of automation comes with a corresponding loss of flexibility. Automated procedures expect fairly standardized environments, or they may not work properly. The more productivity that a Cloud offering provides, the more automation, the greater the loss of flexibility.[Read More]

Now, this isn't a terribly management agnostic statement. It does not specifically state this is something we need to start doing - but it rather implies that, if you don't, you'll be missing this "common" phenomenon. It isn't an alien concept - since 2002, the European Federation of Neurological Societies has recommended admission for observation after minor head trauma - but it's certainly not the standard of care here. So, for the Annals editors to state that observation and repeat scanning is "necessary", they must obviously have excellent evidence.
Or they have an observational case series consisting of 87 patients from Italy.
These authors present a prospective case series of all patients at their institution who were admitted for observation specifically for minor head trauma while on oral anticoagulation. At the time of repeat CT scanning 24 hours later, the authors report five of them had new bleeding detected. In addition, two patients who were discharged after two negative CT scans returned with symptomatic bleeding, one at two days, and one at eight days.
Clearly, some patients will have delayed bleeding - a subset of which will be clinically significant. However, we simply cannot expose all anticoagulated patients with minor head trauma to the harms and costs of hospitalization. Better studies are required to prospectively determine the risk profile of patients who require further observation in a hospital setting, rather than a watchful discharge home.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 13 September 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18450913-TC-JWC-01; CL 19: 189-191
Scotsbrig, 13 Septr 1845— (Saturday)
My poor Goody is whirling away southward, I have to suppose, in these dim hours, while I sit here giving her some Note of my arrival northward. We are strangely shovelled to and fro in this much too locomotive world!
It was above an hour after you left me before our beastly Steamship got its tumult consummated, and hauled itself out of harbour. In my life I have seen few more distressing and disgusting uproars;—indeed the whole voyage surpassed in discomfort for me any piece of travelling I have executed for years. We saw very near at hand the Vanity-Fair of Liverpool Cocknies,1 in full action near the Rock; tents on the sand, swings and whirligigs were very evident; squeaking of fiddles, popping of ginger-beer corks, and the other accompaniments were too conceivable. Hudson our Captain was engaged in clapping handcuffs on a drunk drover who had proved quarrelsome! Ach Gott! Bootle Church could hardly be discriminated from Seaforth, near which my poor Goody sat at hospitable tea:—but, in return, one of my fellow passengers in the Cabin proved to be that big Thomson the Cattle-dealer who once called at Chelsea with Macqueen;2 a Cattle-dealer grown several stones heavier, faced like Silenus,3 full of Dock-English and familiarity of which the thought was horrible to me! By him my "honoured name" was imparted to the Ships Company in general; and I had the strangest addresses; free and easy as in the Age of Gold:—my difficulty not to break into sheer vocal execration was considerable. Then our sleeping-room— But I will talk no more of it. The fact is I do not design to convey myself by that method again. I do not think a more brutal element of human Savagery could have been found in any part of British land or water. About half-past seven next morning I was right glad to see Jamie waiting for me at the jetty; we got to Scotsbrig before ten, and Jenny and my Mother had some tea for me (my first refection after Sea-forth);—and I have glided about ever since, or lain on beds or chairs when I could get it done; very much in the humour of Jonah (as I fancy it) when he found himself vomited from the Whale's Belly; exceedingly confused and uncertain what his movements ought to be. I have found Silence, however; that is one great point! Annan lay all dim and still as we passed thro' it; nothing audible but some few paviers at work on the street; all the way to Scotsbrig we met simply one living creature, a weaver making towards Annan with a cart and garron, seemingly for coals. He gave Jamie a pale smile, and fared on. At Midday I walked with my Mother to the moor: it really was as if Pan slept; the sun and sky were bright as silver, the seas and hills lay round, and noise of all sorts had entirely hushed itself, as if the whole thing had been a Picture or a Dream,—which in fact the Philosophers tell us it properly is. I slept indifferently well; but I feel still abundantly confused, and hardly know what I am writing.
My Mother looks feebler to me; I see her hand shakes considerably more: but otherwise she professes to be in fully usual health; is affectionately interested in all things as ever; has taken with ardour to the reading of Cromwell. Jenny is fatter, distinctly bigger and cheerfuller; a very active orderly nimble creature; has her two little girls all combed and trimmed; they can read their New Testament, the elder can even sew: a good useful distinct little figure.4 Isabella I have not yet seen: it is one of my tasks to go and transact my interview with her, for she cannot speak at all! Yet she superintends her household; has a lively eye upon all things, thro' the organs of a Niece, who understands her signs: she can speak, in the faintest conceivable whisper, but only by rising up from her sofa, and with a great effort. She lodges in her old place down stairs; rides a little on the ass with Jamie leading it; but "dare not venture above a hundred yards from the door": poor Isabella! Jamie looks more sad and worn than usual: but otherwise things are going well enough with him. He will have no shearing for a week yet. Wull Easton5 (whom Jack will know) is building the stable; and all the doors are encumbered with heaps of mortar and stones. You can read what of this you like to Jack, and let him take it instead of news to himself.— I am lodged in the East room, where you used to be: my position now is sufficiently conceivable to Goody.
And now when shall I get your Letter? Alas, I believe not till Wednesday morning; a Waterbeck6 Post is the kind of arrangement we are now to go upon. I long to hear how you got away and home; what you have to say of Chelsea after the long absence;—what you think of it in comparison with Crosby!— Nothing can exceed my Mother's gratitude to you; your two Letters themselves had given wonderful delight,—most of them, I think, are committed to memory, have committed themselves on reapeated7 perusals. It is worth while to write now and then on such terms.
Dear Jeannie mine, I did not design to turn this leaf at all. Being unutterably stupid, as if half-asleep and with a head that aches, I will terminate for this day, God bless thee, dear Bairn.
Has there come no Letter from Adamson at Dumfries about £150 he received? Nothing can well have gone wrong in it; but I expected word. This morning or hitherto there was no Letter of any kind for me.

Remember when Club Nintendo Gold and Platinum rewards were tangible items that were shipped to the doorstep of Nintendo's valued customers? Yeah, those were the days...as in, just last year. Club Nintendo seems to have changed things up this year with the rewards for those who ranked in to Gold and Platinum status and decided to offer digital titles.
Out of the available games to choose from, Gold and Platinum members get one game of choice from the following titles:
- Ice Climber (Wii U)
- Kid Icarus (Wii U)
- Super Mario Bros. (Wii U)
- Zelda II: The Adventures of Link (Wii U)
- Donkey Kong 3 (3DS)
- Wario Land 2 (3DS)
- Metroid (3DS)
- Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (3DS)
While both Gold and Platinum members get one game to choose from, Platinum members have a wider selection. Besides being able to pick from the titles above, their selection also includes these exclusive games of choice:
- Game & Wario (Wii U)
- NES Remix (Wii U)
- EarthBound (Wii U)
- Dr. Luigi (Wii U)
- Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS)
- Fluidity: Spin Cycle (3DS)
- Dillon's Rolling Western (3DS)
- Mario & Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move (3DS)
We've seen digital titles offered in the past, however the rewards also included some tangible items, like the Mario hat, buttons, and whatnot. Pus, what happened to the calendar that they offered annually?
It is quite unfortunate that there is nothing else offered as a variety to appeal to the collectors, as well, other than the games. Here's hoping next year is better.
In other news, Japan's Club Nintendo is offering a cute Yoshi plush to purchase with accumulated coins. There is also some cute decorative tape to redeem, as well. These can be seen HERE.
To rank into these statuses, members must accumulate 300 points for Gold and 600 for Platinum from July 1st through June 30th. Will this year's disappointment bring better prizes next year?

Sometimes I enjoy re-reading old blog posts from the early days of the Tenth Amendment Center, which in our first year or so was little more than a quickly-growing blog.
The principles seem quite similar to what they are today, as evidenced by this Constitution-day post from 09-17-07:
Today is a day that's not celebrated like many other "holidays" in American society. You see, September 17th is Constitution Day – a day that appears to be nearly forgotten in America.
Sadly, over the years, people have stopped paying attention to the Constitution. It's rare to hear people talking about the rules for government when discussing current events. And, it's even more rare to hear politicians refusing to pass legislation because it's not authorized by the Constitution.
For decades and decades…and decades, we have allowed our government to twist and distort the Constitution – away from its meaning – into something that changes meaning with the political whims and ambitions of the times.
Hopefully, though, some people will take a moment to try get back in touch with the basics that the founding fathers gave us in this easy-to-read text.
The key principle of the Constitution is quite simple

- Price: Up to $599
- Official Site: Sanyo.com
- Specs: 1080p full HD; 30x optical zoom; water resistant to 10'; 3" LCD; 7-60 fps
- Company: Sanyo
Top to bottom, the recently announced 2009 camcorder lineup from Sanyo looks to be one of the strongest to be released this year. The trio of new models contains a mixture of traditional horizontal-configuration camcorders and also a more unique vertical orientation setup. All the devices in this year's fleet have high-definition recording capabilities, as well as single photo capturing, all built into an easy-to-use compact design. The lower end of the Xacti spectrum has a price point starting at around $200, while the upper echelon cameras will run you about $599, with features scaling to meet the dollar increase.
Some of the need-to-know bullet points for the 2009 Sanyo Xacti lineup include features like full HD 1080p video recording, and the ability to shoot in a buttery smooth 60 frames per second. If you opt for the top level Xacti, you are getting a camera that can shoot photos with a 10-megapixel resolution, while the base model can still snap pictures, but at a lesser clarity of 2 megapixels. The optical zoom on the 2009 units runs up to 30x, which puts it on par with even some professional-level video recorders. Probably the most interesting and exciting aspect of these Sanyo Xacti cameras is that they cannot only shoot vibrant HD video on land, but also in water. It's not often that you find a waterproof camcorder that is more than novelty, but the Sanyo is for real -- it's resistant at depths of up to 10 feet for over an hour's worth of filming.
There is always a slight worry when a camcorder tries to excel at both video and still recording that it may end spreading itself too thin; instead of offering it all, it falls short on both fronts. Sanyo looks to avoid that pitfall by including some features that cross over both shooting styles and improve the quality all around. The Face Chaser detection technology can track up to 12 subjects per scene, no matter if it is video or photo, giving you more centered-looking results. The extra-large LCD widescreen monitors, running up to three inches on some models, are superb viewfinders for shooting all sorts of subjects, as is the image stabilizer, which removes natural hand jitters no matter what type of shots you are taking. From a purely superficial standpoint, it is also great to see Sanyo offering more than just the usual glossy black and silver color configurations, with an available palate such as red, lime green and yellow showing up in this collection.

Quick Slant on Great Win in Nashville
I really thought the Gamecocks were poised to run away with this game after going up 10-0, then Vandy hit the big pass to Matthews for a td and the momentum shifted.
South Carolina would not have won this game without the gutsy performance of Connor Shaw however he did miss two would be td passes to Bruce Ellington and DL Moore early on. I wasn't impressed with his passing but he wasn't that far off on those plays or the early interception.
Lorenzo Ward called a great game seemingly knowing when to call the blitz and when not to. USC defensive backs didn't play with very much conviction.
I don't understand why it took over 2 & half quarters of football to throw to the tight end or connect on a screen pass to a rb. As soon as they did it led to the eventual winning scoring drive.
Offensive play calling was puzzling at times, but the QB draw call that got the ball to the one yard line and led to the winning td was brilliantly unexpected considering Shaw's injury.
Special teams not very special.
Kelcy Quarles Very Special.
Player of the game Justice Cunningham. After catching the big pass on the td drive he goes over to Marcus and says "ok you know what time it is". Marcus then springs free to take the ball into the Red-Zone. Marcus said after the game that Justice was keeping everyone's head up on the sideline.
The offensive line played better than I think most Monday morning quarterbacks will give them credit for today. QBs under Spurrier at USC have yet to connect with wide receivers in stride. Better timing here and many would fell better about the offensive line's performance. The quick Vandy defensive lineman will give teams fits all season.
"The Rhythm is Going to Get You"?
The offense lost all it's rhythm last night when Connor went out and early on it was obvious Marcus was taking some time finding his game time legs. The potential is there for this offense to get going in 2012 if the play calling will reflect the current roster's strengths. For now the strengths being tight ends, a great running back and a scrambling non pocket passing qb
The last time I did research on games won by the team winning the turnover margin in single digit spread games they had won over 80% of those games. To lose the turnover battle on the road in the SEC and still win the game makes for a "Great win in Nashville" for the Gamecocks.

I also have a crazy husband, two little munchkins (Carlo and Milly) and a furry yellow Lab. All of them are sweet and lovable, but they certainly do occupy a good portion of my day. However I do L-O-V-E shopping with a passion and finding amazing deals for myself as well as others.
I got my wedding dress at uniquevintage.com super inexpensive and gorgeous dresses. good luck!
I had the J. Crew Cecilia for my wedding dress (2nd wedding). I loved it, it was perfect & fits true to size.
