The third and final leg of the 2013 Triple Crown climaxed in Elmont, N.Y., this weekend, as Palace Malice ran an inspired mile-and-a-half to capture the 145th edition of the Belmont Stakes.
Oxbow, Orb and Incognito followed closely behind as jockey Mike Smith and trainer Todd Pletcher managed to take home the victory at Belmont Park. The outcome marked the third different horse to win a Triple Crown race this season.
ESPN's SportsCenter let the world know of the top three finishers as this year's biggest three-race marathon came to a close on Saturday evening:
BREAKING: Palace Malice wins the 145 Belmont Stakes. Oxbow (Preakness winner) and Orb (Kentucky Derby winner) finished 2nd and 3rd.— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) June 8, 2013
Known as "The Test of the Champion," the final leg of the Triple Crown runs through New York and featured two different champions, Orb and Oxbow, who took home the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, respectively, in the first two races of the Crown.
But it was Palace Malice—who finished in a disappointing 12th after being one of the sleepers at the Derby—who made the turn and never looked back, making trainer Todd Pletcher look like a genius after the decision to take his blinders off was an early storyline at the track.
The three-year-old thoroughbred even tweeted out a personal statement on Twitter after his victory:
I just won the @BelmontStakes— Palace Malice (@PalaceMalice) June 8, 2013
Smith won his second career Belmont Stakes with the victory, equaling his ride on Drosselmeyer in 2010. Smith now has four career wins in Triple Crown races, one each at the Derby and the Preakness.
Here are the final results of the 14-horse field.

*Odds based on $2 bet, courtesy the NBC Sports broadcast.
Frac Daddy set the pace coming around the first turn, followed closely by Freedom Child and Giant Finish. Orb and Oxbow both got off to good starts, but it was Oxbow who found himself in third around the second turn while Orb moved toward the back of the pack.
Oxbow worked his way to the front down the straightaway before the final two turns, and Freedom Child and Palace Malice stayed close in the mix.
Orb and Revolutionary then made their moves coming into the top of the stretch, with Palace Malice grabbing the lead from Oxbow and increasing it over the final few furlongs down the back stretch.
As the two favorites tried to close the gap, Mike Smith and Palace Malice did exactly what Pletcher and company expected him to do at the Kentucky Derby—he held off the rest of the field and turned on enough speed to coast toward the finish line.
Palace Malice is the seventh horse since 2000 to win the Belmont Stakes after running in the Derby and skipping the Preakness. His finish at the Derby (12th) is also the third-worst finish from a horse that went on to win the Belmont (via ESPN's Stats & Info):
Palace Malice: wins Belmont Stakes after 12th-place finish in Kentucky Derby. That is the 3rd-worst Derby Finish by a Belmont Stakes winner— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) June 8, 2013
Named for the NBA incident between the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers back in the early 2000s, Palace Malice is a nod to the fight that occurred between Ben Wallace, Metta World Peace (then Ron Artest), Stephen Jackson and a few other players in one of sports' ugliest scenes to date.
There was nothing ugly about Palace Malice's win on Saturday.
Which winner impressed you the most during the 2013 Triple Crown season?
Early starters Frac Daddy and Freedom Child really faded after setting the early pace, not being able to handle what is the longest race of the three Triple Crown events.
Incognito had a strong run in finishing fourth and was the highest finisher among those horses who did not run in either the Derby or Preakness this year. Revolutionary (third at the Derby) finished fifth, and Unlimited Budget with Rosie Napravnik aboard failed to become the fourth filly to win this race by coming in sixth.
Much of the chatter surrounding the early part of the race was with the two previous Triple Crown winners, Orb and Oxbow, but it was Oxbow who bested the Derby winner for the second straight race, proving once again that completing a three-race sweep is one of the most difficult things to do in sports.
America's Best Racing commented on that matchup following the race on Twitter:
All in all, #BelmontStakes runner-up Oxbow showed #Preakness was not a fluke. He's now beaten Orb twice in the TC. #GetIntheGame— Americas Best Racing (@ABRLive) June 8, 2013
With the Triple Crown season officially over, a new crop of talent will emerge over the course of the next year.
However, it's always nice to appreciate what you have before it's gone, and now is a good time to reflect on what has been an excellent Triple Crown event schedule over the course of the last few weeks.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

text: Review Content Stays cool all night Awesome for women who struggle with those mid-life power surges! I would buy this product again I suffer from night sweats adn this stops them so I can sleep through the night comfortably. I would recommend this to everyone. It is also very comfortable to sleep on. Yes! Yes! Yes! Finally, I received the Polar Pillow six days ago and I have now had six of the best nights sleep that I have had in years!! It is heaven . it is cool and had a good night sleep. Love it! I am more than pleased with the polar pillow. The first night I used it it had a strange odor. By the second night the odor was no longer there. Pillow feels cool even without the insert. Comfortable cooling pillow The pillow stayed cool for most of the night and I was able to sleep more soundly. Love it! I debated buying this pillow but I am so glad I did. I have a terrible problem waking up at night feeling like Im in a sauna. I havent even used the insert yet and it still works great. I will probably put the insert in during the summer. So glad I bought this. Like it! I have mixed feelings about it. Its wonderful for about 5 hours, after that its room temp or warmer. Its way way way too heavy. That being said, I love the 5 hours of comfort it does give me and I will continue to use it and Im grateful as can be for the hours it makes me more comfortable. Stays Cool Most Of The Night Great cooling pillow for a good nights sleep. It is a little cold at first but really soothes and relaxes for a good nights sleep. It is really heavy so there is no pillow flipping in the night. Had a restful sleep even on a warm night. ITS COOL It help me sleep better. Its great! Not as cool as I had hoped I put the cool pack in freezer for a couple days prior to use, but it was not as cool as others I have used. I does stay cool longer than others. First Time in Months I Was Able to Sleep I have Multiple Sclerosis and heat has been rough on me this year. I was waking up several times a night overheated, never getting a good nights sleep which affected me the next day. I am feeling very well rested finally. It works!! keeps his head cool most of the night. First Time in Months I Was Able to Sleep I have MS and heat is bad for a person with MS. I wasnt able to sleep because I was hot all the time. This pillow has fixed my problems and I sleep great now.

Friends with Kids
HitFix Critics' Reviews
B+Jennifer Westfeldt's new dramedy "Friends with Kids" debuted at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival Friday night and thanks to the performances of Adam Scott, Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, Megan Fox, Chris O'Dowd and, yes, Ed Burns, it should quickly land a major distribution deal.
n/aWorking with a cast that consists of funny characters like Adam Scott, Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig and Chris O'Dowd, the comedy can come out like a competition. Scott came into the group of actors fresh from from "Bridesmaids" straight into "Friends With Kids," with time off-screen resulting in a series of one-ups

A Free Playlist of Country Christmas Favorites
As the Christmas holiday approaches this week, I pulled together a Spotify playlist of my 30 favorite Christmas tunes for Country music fans to enjoy while wrapping last-minute presents, entertaining with family or heading out to your holiday get-togethers. This list spans the genre's generations with classics from the likes of Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Gene Autry and Kitty Wells and updated holiday hits from Toby Keith, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley and many more. Did I miss your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
I also tossed the music video of Kenny Rogers and Parton's "A Christmas to Remember" at the end of this post. The song isn't available on Spotify, but that's okay because the music video is so pricelessly unique that you just need to watch it to get the full experience. Check out Kenny and Dolly singing together in a ski lodge filled with stiff mannequins from a 1980s Christmas special. There's no explanation needed - it's just one of those quirky Christmas moments! »Read Full Blog Post

Sweet corn electric wonder knife
Do not click away! This is not some kind of Ronco blast-from-the-past ad or even a corny infomercial. (Two for only $14.99!)
Even though electric carving knives always bring to mind the era of Dixie Cup dispensers and shag-carpet toilet-tank covers, this is one retro household item you're going to want.
Years ago someone (name lost to history) suggested I use an electric knife to cut corn from blanched cobs. At the time I thought it entirely unnecessary. Why not just use a plain-old knife? But once I tried one, there was no turning back. It saves wear, tear and blisters on the hands, and the whole process is so much faster. And the knives are only about 15 bucks — worth buying even to use just once a year.
So after blanching and icing cobs, unsheath the electric blades of glory to make short work of freezing corn. (Note the blurred electric knife action!)
I follow with a quick swipe of the paring knife to remove absolutely everything from the cob, spoon corn into ziploc freezer bags, remove the air and pop into the freezer for fresh sweet corn taste all winter long.
My electric knife is 1980s vintage, but after looking around to see if the knives have changed much, I came across this sweet little Black and Decker.
It may be time for an upgrade.0 comments

In May, we launched Google Photos as the home for all your photos and videos. With Google Photos you can store unlimited high quality photos and videos for free, find photos fast, and see them organized by what matters to you. Plus, you can bring moments to life and share anywhere with anyone.
In an effort to ensure everyone has the best photos experience we can deliver, on August 1st we'll start to shut down Google+ Photos -- initially on Android, and soon thereafter on the Web and iOS.
If you're still using Google+ Photos, now is a great time to make the switch. You may have seen a prompt in Google+ Photos on Android with a link to download the new Google Photos. Don't worry, all your photos and videos will still be saved and available after you switch to the new, stand-alone Google Photos app. With the new app you'll still be able to backup, edit, and share your photos and videos, with unlimited storage, automatic organization, and more.
Download the new Google Photos today for uninterrupted access to all your photos, videos and albums. If you don't update to the new Google Photos, Google+ Photos on Android will soon stop working, but your photos and videos will still remain safely stored and available via http://photos.google.com or for export using Google Takeout.

Mike: Adolph Hitler may have been credited for the quote "If you control the media, you control the masses". But Joseph Stalin can be credited with: "It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." . . You can bet that there will be massive election fraud in this up-coming election. The democrat party cheated its own voters in the primary to assure Clinton would win. Does anyone think their cheating days are over? Expect fraud on every level. Expect the globalists and elites to be in it up to their elbows. Expect the media to 'poo-poo' the reality or injustice of it. . You can vote for whoever you want to; but the person the insiders want to fill the position is the one that will get the most votes. You can count on it, even if you won't be able to count the votes they received.

Based on revised, painstaking readings of the Bible, and using algorithms he says are derived from God's own word, Harold Camping, 89, an evangelist from Oakland, Calif., has determined that Armageddon will begin at 6 p.m. Philadelphia time.

The technology that preserved the balance of our history—between uses of our culture that were free and uses of our culture that were only upon permission—has been undone. The consequence is that we are less and less a free culture, more and more a permission culture.

diff -u: What's New in Kernel Development
Wichert Akkerman has been trying for some time to add a Debian package build target to the kernel sources to complement the RPM target. His initial effort in October 2003 suffered the fate of bad timing, falling smack in the middle of the 2.6-test series, which had started in July and led to a 2.6.0 announcement in December 2003. Wichert got some work done on the patch at that time and apparently has been maintaining it privately until June 2004, when he tried again to submit it. This time, with the kernel still in some amount of flux at a recent 2.6.6 release (at the time of this writing 2.6.7 also has come out), Wichert's patch got a much better reception, and it looks as though a .deb target will be accepted into the kernel without much fuss.
For a long time, Mel Gorman has maintained on-line documentation of the 2.4 and 2.6 Virtual Memory Subsystem. After Linus Torvalds' surprise move to replace the subsystem en masse in the early 2.4 releases, documentation was scarce or nonexistent. Mel worked like a dog to describe its inner workings and to offer them on-line as a free resource, and his work eventually was picked up by Prentice-Hall for inclusion in the Bruce Perens Open Source Series. The book, called Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager, is a down-and-dirty examination of one of the most difficult aspects of the Linux kernel.
The relationship between the kernel and the C compiler is one of constant controversy. When a kernel release won't compile, often it is not entirely clear whether the problem is with the C code in the kernel or with the compiler's attempt to convert that C code into machine language opcodes. Lately, Linus Torvalds and others have begun to speculate that future versions of Linux, perhaps in the 2.8 or 3.0 series, would require a GCC version beyond 3.3. Linus cited bad handling of aliasing in earlier GCC versions, but the compiler people are likely to have their own views on what is broken in their code and what isn't. In any case, it's not unusual for the kernel to require a tool upgrade, but every time it happens, the break in compatibility opens the floodgates for requiring other tool upgrades. The flip side is that it is generally preferable to require no tool upgrades at all, so the user has as easy a time as possible upgrading the kernel when they want to.
Greg Kroah-Hartman has taken official responsibility for being the sysfs maintainer. He was forced out into the open by Christian Gmeiner, who had been trying to identify the sysfs maintainer to answer a coding question. Before then, no one was listed in the MAINTAINERS file, but Greg has said he'll submit a patch at some point to update that with his own contact information. The sysfs project has advanced quite far in the 2.5 and 2.6 time frame, and is now the preferred method to interface with the running kernel. Of course, some folks still use /proc and other mechanisms, but they gently are corrected and have been gradually (and sometimes quickly) coming around to the new ideas. sysfs has established itself quite successfully over the past couple of years.
Write support for Microsoft's NT filesystem (NTFS) is not exactly a holy grail of computing but, nevertheless, it has been a persistent itch that some programmers have felt a technical need or personal compulsion to scratch. Anton Altaparmakov is one of these and recently has announced a step in the "write" direction for NTFS: the ability to overwrite files that already are resident on the filesystem. Along with this, the NTFS driver also performs some housekeeping chores that previously had to be done by hand to prevent corruption. Clearly, NTFS is not yet ready for hard-core use and still is best for users needing to copy data out of their old disks, but it seems a time will one day come when full-on NTFS support will be available in Linux.
The PC9800 sub-architecture is slated to be dropped from the 2.6 tree. The hardware is obsolete, which is not necessarily grounds for removing a feature from the kernel. But, in addition to that, the PC9800 code is unmaintained, which certainly is grounds for removing a feature. Linus Torvalds has made it abundantly clear that it doesn't matter even if there are users clamoring for a feature; if code is broken and no one will fix it, out it goes. Of course, thanks to the proprietary BitKeeper revision control system, it is easier now to put the code back into the kernel once a maintainer is found. And, among other justifications for putting unmaintained code on the chopping block is that it does get the attention of people who might then choose to maintain it.
Another bit of code that may end up being dropped from the 2.6 tree is the venerable UMSDOS feature. Back in the old days, UMSDOS was used to install Linux within an existing MS-DOS partition, so folks could experiment with it without repartitioning their drives. Nowadays, UMSDOS is not used as much, but its historical value is significant, so much so that Linus Torvalds, Andrew Morton and the other kernel maintainers might be happy to leave it in the kernel for posterity's sake. Unfortunately, however, UMSDOS is currently broken in 2.6, which greatly reduces the chances that it will be kept around. Without a maintainer to nurse it back to health, the tool that introduced many folks to Linux in the early days may become only a memory.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Happy is a song that was written and produced by the very talented Pharrell Williams. It is truly a song that will make you feel alive and in a very special warm and fuzzy space. It is an elixir for all that ails you.
If you listen to Happy while traveling to work, you will be in a very positive frame of mind all day long.

A book stressing anesthetic management of patients with uncommon diseases is a welcome addition to the literature. The editors have divided the text into 15 chapters, written by 26 contributors. Many authors have extensively reviewed pathophysiology and have appropriately related their recommendations to the disease process. The chapters, in general, follow a body system-oriented approach; but one is devoted to infants, others to genetic and metabolic diseases, and environmental and behavior disorders.
The chapter by Thomas B. Caldwell III, MD, on the epidemiology and anesthetic management of the narcotic addict and other drug abusers is a worthy inclusion. Intraoperative and postoperative management of the addict, and the problems of postoperative withdrawal symptoms challenge the anesthesiologist.

Ronaldo's Italian club assails Brazil
The Associated Press
MILAN, Italy (AP) - The owner of Ronaldo's Italian team criticized Brazil on Tuesday for allowing the star striker to play in the World Cup final after he had convulsions.
"The Brazilian federation behaved in an absurd manner," Inter Milan owner Massimo Moratti said. "Its actions could have had much more serious consequences.
"Now I only hope that Ronaldo has the chance to rest because he was put under unusual pressure."
Brazil's team doctor said Monday that Ronaldo went into convulsions for about 30 seconds just hours before Sunday night's final and was feeling "emotional stress."
Dr. Lideo Toledo said he took the 21-year-old player to the hospital for a battery of neurological and cardiac tests.
Ronaldo's name was not on Brazil coach Mario Zagallo's starting lineup sheet issued an hour before the final. However, he did start the game.
"It was a serious mistake to have Ronaldo play in those conditions," Moratti said.
The two-time FIFA Player of the Year was unimpressive and Brazil was routed 3-0 by France, which benefited from two goals by Zinedine Zidane.
"I am not familiar with - actually, I know very little about - what happened," Moratti said. "But nonetheless, even though Ronaldo expressed the desire to play, I think someone should have looked at him more as a person than a player."
Moratti, who brought Ronaldo to Inter Milan from Spain's FC Barcelona in a record multimillion-dollar deal, said his star has been given a month off by the club.
"You all saw how good Zidane is," Moratti said. "The best of all, no? And yet Zidane was not put under the pressure Ronaldo was. Zidane and France won the World Cup, but the front pages continue to be about Ronaldo.
"It is evident that a situation like that creates stress and tiredness," he went on. "In general, he handles everything in an intelligent and balanced manner. This time, evidently, he wasn't able to."

I've heard people here assert that silver being bought for storage counted as supply and others argue it was demand. To me it seems like it would act like demand when being purchased, but would act as somewhat of supply as people disgorged it based on need to turn to cash or realize appreciation.
Some well knowns take on the outlook for 2014...
"There is another reason to look back over the past 13 years, Eric, and view them as one time span: One losing year after 12 winning years is not that bad. Even with 2013 added in, over the last 13 years gold has generated an average annual return greater than 13%. It has been and remains one of the best assets to own, particularly given that neither physical gold nor physical silver has counterparty risk, and just like every other bubble inflated by banks or governments, the 'Money Bubble' will pop too."
-- James Turk, GoldMoney
"I've been to San Francisco with my wife 40 times, and I have never seen the city of San Francisco slower at any time in the past 40 years. I went shopping for Christmas gifts, and normally there would be lines out in the street at some of these places. Instead, I went right in with no wait, made my purchases and went straight to the cashier and paid without waiting.
So there is something strange going on. Everyone is saying the US economy is strengthening, and President Obama was saying today that there could be a real turnaround in 2014. I see all of this as propaganda and outright lies because from what I observed with my own eyes, the bullish talk is patently false.
I don't see the strength in the US economy at all. They just had about the third or fourth upward revision of the 3rd quarter GDP. And now, because the consumer had not been doing well, they cranked up the consumer numbers in the latest adjustment. So I think there is something seriously wrong, and as a result they are falsifying a lot of data in a desperate attempt to try to cover it up. But I strongly believe that the harsh reality will become all too obvious as 2014 unfolds."
-- John Embry, Sprott Asset Management
To be continued next post...
"There's certainly some Central Bank manipulation. There's some fundamental reasons having to do with what we've been talking about, which is deflation. Gold should go down in a deflation environment initially. But if deflation gets bad enough, the government will make the price of gold go up because they get desperate to create inflation.
If you've tried everything, if you want inflation, and you've tried everything to create it, so you tried money printing, cutting rates, currency wars, Operation Twist, QE, forward guidance, nominal GDP targeting, you've tried everything, you still didn't get the inflation. There's one thing that always works, which is devaluing your currency against gold. So there could come a time when deflation gets so bad that the Fed and the treasury actually raise the price of gold, not to enrich gold investors, but to get close to generalized inflation. Because if gold goes up, silver and oil will go up along with it. It's exactly what happened in 1933. So that's one path. But the other, perhaps more likely path, is that the Fed just keeps printing money and finally succeeds in changing behavior, velocity of the turnover money picks up and inflation goes up on its own. Then gold will race way ahead of that."
-- James Rickards, author, Currency Wars

Whether these commitments exist in reality or are merely a fabrication of fertile imaginations is an issue of ongoing debate. What we do know is that Tennessee is in need of a strong finish to post a respectable season.
Again the term "respectable" requires qualification: Respectable by Tennessee's standards would be a top 15 class — a ranking the Vols have never failed to attain, when averaging the top five ranking services, during Phillip Fulmer's illustrious 11-year era at UT.
As it currently stands, using The Insider's national rankings, Tennessee checks in at No. 22 and that's with Eric Young as a commitment. Young has said he's a "soft commitment" to Tennessee and that his choices were down to South Carolina, Clemson, North Carolina and Tennessee. Without Young, the Vols would drop out of the top 25.
That's a long way from the territory the Vols normally occupy this time of year. And it's a drop that won't be easily swallowed by a Big Orange fan base still choking on the nocuous fumes of a bad season and rotten bowl game.
To appreciate just how far the Vols are off form in this recruiting campaign, consider that Florida, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, South Carolina and Mississippi State are all currently rated ahead of Tennessee, while Arkansas and Ole Miss are still within striking distance.
It's not only that Tennessee currently ranks in the lower half of the SEC, but that a low-profile program like Mississippi State complete with cracker box stadium, one-horse town and a coach on his last professional leg could be more attractive to prospective prospects than UT.
But that's a subject for another story. The focus for now is on what pleasant surprise prospects might be in the offering tomorrow. The list of suspects includes: Bret Smith, Turk McBride, Aaron Sears, Michael Bush, John "The Beast" Beason, Matthew Malele, Richard Cook, Chris Ellis, Anthony McDaniel or Robert Meachem.
Here's how we rank the likelihood of these 10 candidates breaking their silence and declaring for Tennessee. (Note: Because silent commitments could theoretically be any high school senior or junior college graduate, the rankings the top 10 most likely to.)
No. 1: Richard Cook (Could concerns over playing time be driving this plum from the Peach State? Did he commit on Fulmer's in-home visit last week?)
No. 2: Aaron Sears (He's been offered by Miami, Ohio State, Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee, but has only visited the Vols and Buckeyes. Auburn, where his brother played, is a strong contender but UT has had the assistance of Jayson Swain and might pull a signing day surprise.)
No. 3: Bret Smith (We're hearing conflicting tales on this one, but Smith's recruitment does resemble the same methodology used to extract Cedric Houston from Arkansas.)
No. 4: Anthony McDaniel (This product of Columbia, S.C. wouldn't seem likely to escape the grasp of Lou Holtz but he's a defensive tackle and UT apparently didn't offer JC DT Zarnell Fitch when he visited last weekend. Would the Vols turn down a solid talent like Fitch unless they knew they had a great prospect on board?)
No. 5: Turk McBride (The nation's No. 3 defensive end prospect added Ohio State back to his list of finalists yesterday. Is the move just the latest act of subterfuge or is UT on the outside looking in? McBride is the biggest name on the board and one of the few to remain uncommitted.)
No. 6: John Beason (The Beast had a great recent visit to Miami but remains uncommitted. He has the perfect physical makeup to be a Tennessee linebacker and the Vols have had great success converting safeties into backers under John Chavis. One of the most underrated prospects in the nation that would be a huge signing day surprise for Tennessee.)
No. 7: Chris Ellis (He's the third defensive end on this list for a reason. Tennessee didn't offer JC DE Mike Montgomery last weekend even though he's one of the top junior college prospects left out there. That doesn't seem like a risk Fulmer would have taken without there being somebody out there he liked better that he knew Vols would land.)
No. 8: Matthew Malele (The big guy has the ideal size and strength to be a run-stopper and Tennessee is in need of a player of his ilk on the D-Line next season. The Californian is looking at three other schools on the west coast, but recently said distance wasn't a factor in his choice.)
No 9: Michael Bush (Operating on our belief that not every top 30 quarterback prospect in American could walk away from the opportunity to start at Tennessee in '04, we push Mr. Bush to No. 9. Also, he's had the least to say of anybody on this list which might make him the most qualified as a silent commitment.)
No. 10: Robert Meachem (There's probably a better chance of Steve Smith being a silent commitment than Meachem, but he still lists the Vols and thus we must still list him.)
That's a few guesses on this NSD eve, as we wait to see if silence is really golden or just fools gold.
