THE title race resumes in England on Wednesday and I've seen suggestions from some people this is where it ends.
Chelsea tackle Everton at home and Man City go to Stoke. If Chelsea win and City lose the gap at the top will be stretched to 10 points and that's too much to make up against such a good side.
Jose Mourinho's men are 1-3 with firms such as William Hill and Betfred at home to an Everton side with one win and five draws in their last six. The Toffees have addressed a slump but a lack of firepower is costing them vital points and I'm on Chelsea to bag the points.
Diego Costa serves the final match of his ban so consider Eden Hazard to score at 8-5 with McBookie and BetVictor.
Man City haven't won a game while Yaya Toure has been at the African Nations and haven't beaten Stoke away in the Premier League.
They are no bigger than 8-11 at McBookie but I'd rather be on Stoke draw no bet at 29-10 and that's a possible Super Single. I accept Bojan is a miss for the home side but it's difficult to go against the h2h here.
Man United are also short at 3-10 with the likes of bet365 and Betfred but should see off a Burnley side with only a win over QPR in their last six.
United haven't been over impressive in recent weeks but have got the job done and with Burnley having conceded two or more goals in their last six away games I'm taking Man Utd -1 at 10-11 with BetBright as the Super Single – and tonight if United go two up you can be sure I'll be covering at some point. Robin van Persie is my pick as first scorer at 4-1 with Paddy Power.
Southampton-West Ham looks tough to call but could be one for both to score and that could be the same at West Brom-Swansea.
The other match is an interesting one between Crystal Palace and Newcastle and I can see Alan Pardew putting one over his former assistant John Carver who took the reins when he left for London.
Pardew has already made his mark at Selhurst Park and Palace are worth a look at 7-5 with Betfred and bet365 to pick up another three big points. For a safer punt try Palace draw no bet at 4-6 with Skybet as Newcastle have shown glimpses of form under Carver.
There is one Championship game with Dougie Freedman's Nottingham Forest 11-10 at bet365 and William Hill to add to Wigan's woes. I like the look of Forest but they have lost their last three at home so maybe can't be trusted at the City Ground just yet.
I've posted a separate preview on the Partick Thistle v Celtic Scottish Premiership clash and can't see past the leaders who have won their last seven without conceding.
On the continent we have Parma-Chievo in Serie A and in the Spanish Cup semi-finals it's Barcelona v Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao v Espanyol.
Barcelona have won their last nine matches – eight of them by scoring three or more goals – but Villarreal's only defeat in 20 was 3-2 at the Nou Camp recently. If it wasn't a first leg I'd be on the overs in a flash but it could more cagey than expected.
The home side are extremely short at 1-4 with Betfred but with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all in good scoring form it's difficult to see past them. Messi is 11-4 at BetVictor and Betfred to score first and I'll be on.
It's a night where you take the favourites or take a chance on the likes of Stoke, Palace and maybe even West Ham or Swansea – but I'm sticking with the favourites.
So the Top Treble (fourfold) is Celtic, Man Utd, Chelsea and Barcelona – that pays 2-1 with BetVictor. You could add PSG at home to Nantes in the last 16 of the French Cup to take it up a point. PSG should win but will make changes – the key for me is to back them if Zlatan Ibrahimovic starts as that's always a statement of intent by the French champs in knockout ties.
Apologies if the tips are quite boring tonight – but I'd rather have a bland winner than a speculative loser. I could have been as adventurous as Lee – but his double is likely to lose while I expected my two tips to wins.
Goals predictions will be added later – need to walk the dug.
The Super Single is in negative for the first time this month after Arsenal -1 was beaten by a second-half Leicester goal. With the Gunners leading 2-0 at the break the cover bet was Leicester to win the second half at 9-2 and well done to anyone who took that – on this occasion I chose not to cover and it was the wrong decision.
5pts Super Single
Man Utd -1 (7.45pm)

As Furious 7 continues to break all kinds of box office records, Paul Walker's daughter, Meadow, posted a throwback image of her late father on social media.
Yesterday, Meadow posted the image on Instagram with her younger self sat on Paul's knee with a huge grin on her face. The post comes straight after she was reunited with the Furious crew at Coachella, recently.
The 16-year-old also posted a festival picture of herself hanging out with Vin Diesel and Elsa Pataky. She previously appeared at the premiere for Furious 7 in Los Angeles alongside the rest of her family.

Train your ironsights on a world of colorful races and fantastic deserts. A sort of western set in a diverse world of magics, monsters, and secrets. The main characters are members of the now disbanded "Order of Cursed Iron" (similar to the organization in the Dark Tower series). A group of warriors devoted to the skill of Gunslinging. Crusaders who blazed into the heart of the deserts and forests infested with abominations from a lost time. And now, wanderers who's flickering torches still clear the frontiers.
I was thinking the gunslingers are a compromise between the nameless heroes from the old west, and general western/eastern knights. I could use some input on that. The world itself would be another thing I'd like to develop with other authors.
I was thinking the gunslingers are a compromise between the nameless heroes from the old west, and general western/eastern knights. I could use some input on that. The world itself would be another thing I'd like to develop with other authors.
What kind of guns are we limited to? And I am a sucker for western fantasies... Trigun is a fav of mine.
I'm trying to think about that myself. I was thinking maybe keeping it to revolvers and maybe primitive automatic weaponry.
Hmmm. I was making sure because I have this image of a guy with two revolvers that shoot two bullets at a time. He is obsessed with pairs and often makes sure to have two of everything. You know, an OCD. He was a unique guy until I realized I had no story for him...
@DethnusAckearose Sounds a lot like Death the Kid. Yeah, variety of revolvers and maybe some early machine guns later in the story.
Bingo! I was watching Soul Eater when I thought of him. Anyway, I think maybe if we had guns being a special weapon, like the legendary swords in a lot of fantasy stories. Like, regular revolvers being normal, then specialized guns that were one of a kind and indestructable all having special abilities or designs.
I was thinking that the guns are actually unique themselves, and that they're fairly new in the world. I can see maybe a few specialized weapons made by gunsmiths that dabbled in the occult.
Hmmm I like this
The world itself should be a fantasy spin on the American midwest, so how should that go?
Well, the way I see it, we can have a setting kind of like Trigun with the lawless land and vigilantes and gunslingers being the highest power with gangs just below them or we could do a classical western background with just basic fantasy attributes. Like hunting crazy monsters and using something extraordinary to travel instead of horses. Any other ideas?
I like the seriousness of older works like Clint Eastwood movies, and I'd like to keep those aspects from spaghetti westerns. This is shaping up to be a bit more "weird west" rather than hybrid fantasy/western. But I would like to put in more fantasy aspects, like a lot of fantasy works have dramatic and hostile environments; big mountains, unending canyons, and ominous forests. I'd say there are also a number of species in the world outside of humans.
Why not make something like MH?
Monster Hunter
Eh. MH is a little too silly for me.
@Lt.Nuke I don't mean the actual game, I just mean how they incorporated the fantasy into everyday lives, having markets based off it and everything haha
@DethnusAckearose Oh, yes in a sense that would be what we'd be looking at.
Well, that shouldn't be too hard. I did it quite successfully in my Great Race story, I have been told, though it was a mix of magic into medieval times, not fantasy into western.
OK, there is one issue now that I have had time to think. A major issue, really. Western culture is majorly influenced on gunslingers and what they can do (from what I can see). If we are making guns new, that might be a hard thing to pull off.
True enough, in many portrayals of the old west every settler and their grandma has a gun. Maybe then we should keep it more about skill. Many species have developed firearms and their commercial sale makes them available to everyone, but the Order of Cursed Iron trained the gunslinger-errant to be the best with these guns. Like the difference between a peasant with a sword and a trained knight with a sword.

What are the signs and symptoms of poorly managed stress?
Excess stress can manifest itself in a variety of emotional, behavioral, and even physical symptoms, and the symptoms of stress vary enormously among different individuals. Common somatic (physical) symptoms often reported by those experiencing excess stress include sleep disturbances or changes in sleeping habits (insomnia or sleeping too much), muscle tension, muscle aches, headache, gastrointestinal problems, and fatigue. Symptoms of many preexisting medical conditions can also worsen during times of stress. Emotional and behavioral symptoms that can accompany excess stress include nervousness, anxiety, changes in eating habits including overeating or undereating (leading to weight gain or loss), loss of enthusiasm or energy, and mood changes, like irritability and depression. Of course, none of these signs or symptoms means for certain that there is an elevated stress level since all of these symptoms can be caused by other medical and/or psychological conditions.
It is also known that people under stress have a greater tendency to engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as excessive use or abuse of alcohol and drugs, cigarette smoking, and making poor exercise and nutritional choices, than their less-stressed counterparts. These unhealthy behaviors can further increase the severity of symptoms related to stress, often leading to a "vicious cycle" of symptoms and unhealthy behaviors.
The experience of stress is highly individualized. What constitutes overwhelming stress for one person may not be perceived as stress by another. Likewise, the symptoms and signs of poorly managed stress will be different for each person.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › GNP Long Overdue!
Jul 31, 2011 at 8:26 am #1277455
Richard RiniBPL Member
@rariniLocale: Southeast
This is a long overdue trip report. I have to appologize that I did not get this in earlier. Life gets in the way:
It's been almost a year to out last venture to GNP. This time we went with some friends that were not comfortable with camping in the back country. The thought of grizzlies roaming around did not appear to be so appealing to them. So we decided not to push the issue and just do some day hiking (my wife was not happy with that concession) But we must compromise (you hearing that congress!)
The Mountain goats were really friendly at Logan Pass:
Falls at Avalanche Lake:
Gorgeous Day at Two Medicine Lake:
Our Friends Nate and Sandy (Bear scared!)
Say What:
Storms moving in. We got caught in this storm and it produced pretty strong lightning. We had to assume the lightning position as we were exposed on a high ridge. It was quite unnerving for about 45 minutes until it passed. I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up and that is not a good sign!
Nice View:
Grizz or black bear. I did not want to stay around to figure it out especially since it was eating!
I'm going with Grizz on this one!
Snow on the trail leading to Piegan Pass:
The wild flowers were in bloom. It was really nice to see them bursting with colors. We usually find ourselves at GNP in late September but this time going in early August really paid off!
Cool example of rock strata formations. By the way it's getting ready to storm again:
Hey little fella:
Beaver doing its thing:
Man, I need to find a way to live here!
Rock'n it:
I'm a huge advocate of bear spray. I mean bear spray, bear spray, bear spray; get the point. We also make sure we call out frequently. It's probably over kill but you can't be too safe. Case in point. We were headed up to Granite Park – making more than enough noise. So about 1 mile to a half mile away from the Chalet we stopped in a nice flower meadow to take pictures. The next thing I know I hear (silently) "S#@t, bears. I turned and I saw three bears through the heavy brush. A sow and her two cubs about 15 yards through the trees. "Crap, how did we get so close and not see them! I'm so better than this", I thought too myself. Here was my mistake (no harm no foul thank God). Earlier I got frustrated with my bear mace constantly falling off my waist strap when I would remove my pack so I placed it in a location not easily accessible. Fast forward. Now I can't reach my bear spray and have to ask one of my friends to get it. If those bears (bear) would have charged I would not have been able to deploy the spray. Lesson learned!! I do believe that the bears new we were coming because we were loud (on purpose) and they just wanted to go about their way. When we reached the Chalet we reported the sighting. The Ranger really interrogated us. We learned that our description fit the bears that had an encounter with Jack Hanna (they called it the Jack Hanna bear). They said they had problems with the cubs. They are too old to be with the sow and need to head off on their own.
The Rangers decided to go down the trail to see if they could push the bears into another valley away form hikers. Too close an encounter her is the photo my wife shot before noticing the bears:
The Crew:
Tripple Divide Pass:
Do not even think about it (actually too late):
Told you it was too late:
The ladies:
Dinner time:
Hands Off! (Cattle Baron Supper Club – It was awesome):

Have not heard from you in awhile. Nice to hear from you. It was a pretty good lens Shana had on that camera. I'm not going to get that close to a hungry bear. Hope all is well with you.

Oy, you got up close and personal with some of those grizzlies. Great pics. And that is the best looking steak dinner I have seen in a long, long time.

I don't see what all of the concern was about. That's a marmot, not a grizzly. ;-)

Trahan, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG02-98ER82632 Amount: $75,000 A future multi-trillion electron-volt (TeV) electron-positron collider for use in particle physics research is thought to require a high-power radio frequency (rf) driver at a frequency that is higher than that of any available source. Development of high gradient accelerating structures and associated high-power microwave components will be stymied without such a high-frequency source. This project will develop a means to obtain high power at frequencies of 20 GigaHertz (GHz) and above using existing klystron power sources. In Phase I, preliminary experimental tests of gyroharmonic co-generation at 20 GHz will be performed. These tests will employ a high quality 300 kilovolt, 30 ampere electron beam source and a 24 megawatt S-band klystron, and thus require little new design and construction. A preliminary co-generator will be built to match the existing beam source. Design computations will be carried out for advanced co-generators with higher output power and efficiency for Phase II experimental evaluations. Power transfer to the 20 GHz mode will be monitored as beam parameters and magnetic field profile are adjusted, to test theoretical prediction of high 20 GHz output. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: As research and development on high-gradient multi-TeV particle colliders advances, demand will exist for high power rf sources for laboratory tests of accelerating structures and associated high-power components. Availability of a frequency-multiplying co-generator to furnish this power, at frequencies of 20 GHz and higher, that utilizes existing high-power klystrons (or magnicons) would open up a substantial market for a new class of rf sources._

In this steamy gay sex video, cute young twink Jason gets broken in by his muscular, more experienced and extremely horny beefcake boyfriend Buck. There's a sick smile on Buck's face as he tugs down Jason's little underpants, revealing an underdeveloped cock. Jason looks shy, but Buck dives straight in, taking that little cock in his mouth and sucking it until it's hard. Then he aggressively pulls the young stud's face down to his own dick, with the two men face fucking each other in 69. Jason is still too scared to take anal sex, so Buck pulls out one of his favorite toys: a large double ended dong that is dripping with lubrication.

When I connect imported OBJ geometry from ZBrush and connect/delete, the objects in the OM disappear.
This is a weird issue that's been plaguing me for a few weeks now. I can overcome the problem by simply not connecting the objects, yet it still has me scratching my head looking for an explanation.
Any thoughts as to what is happening?

Mazda CX-5 Confirmed as Official Name of Minagi Concept
First debuting in concept form at the Geneva Auto Show in March, Mazda has now confirmed that its Minagi Concept will be badged as the CX-5 when it goes into production. That will be quite soon, with Mazda set to reveal more details on the Minagi and its SkyActiv engines at the New York Auto Show this week. The CX-5's official debut will take place at the Frankfurt Auto Show this Fall.
The CX-5 will join the MAzda lineup as the brand's newest crossover and will sit as an entry-level vehicle below the CX-7 and CX-9. It will also be the first model to incorporate the brand's new KODO design language, first shown on the Shinari concept.
As for the SkyActiv powertrain, look for something similar to what will arrive in the 2012 Mazda3,with a direct-injection 2.0-liter 4-cylinder making around 163-hp and 155 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and getting close to 40-mpg. The CX-5 could also be the first Mazda to sport a diesel engine in North America.

Kitties Galore
The Dollar Tree has nothing on the Denver Dumb Friends League, where cat lovers can take home an adorable kitty complete with vaccinations, sterilizations, a microchip ID implant and fifteen days of free checkups for a buck.
In celebration of 100 years of finding homes for pets, the DDFL is offering a 100-Cent Special on cat adoptions today through September 12. Its also partly because the organization just has too many cats; according to public relations manager Michelle Ray, cats tend to reproduce in the spring and pile up over the summer, and in August, that figure reached a whopping 800, leading the League to even waive adoption fees for a few weeks. Thats over, but this week brings one more chance to get a really, really cheap cat.
Although Ray stresses that theres a process to adoptions (you cant just walk in and grab one) and that the deal only applies to cats older than one year, since kittens tend to get snatched up faster, shes adamant about the price: There really wont be any other outside fees.
To check out the available felines, go to or just show up at one of the DDFLs two locations: the Quebec Street Center, at 2080 South Quebec Street in Denver, or the Buddy Center, at 4556 Castleton Court in Castle Rock. For more information, call 303-751-5772.

In this article I want to highlight two key points. The first is the use of differential rates. Many local authorities have come to appreciate the particular financial dynamics of large strategic sites – in particular those large enough to require very substantial infrastructure provision. CIL will often be too blunt an instrument for these sites, so the trend now is for such sites to be treated differently in relation to the rate of CIL to be applied. A nil rate may well be justified – putting the clock back in the sense of "section 106 only" being the way of ensuring appropriate measures to make these sites acceptable. But inevitably it is not as simple as that. Strategic sites will be linked to the overall infrastructure plan, and the Regulation 123 list may well vary across the lifetime of the development. And provision of infrastructure elements contained in the list, falls to the local authority to ensure. So treating these sites in isolation, and in a way which is relevant over their lifetime, is more complicated with CIL in place even with a nil rate.
The second point is not a point of reform at all – but one of transition. Some of the changes proposed in the reforms are quite substantial. So one of the questions in the consultation is around the extent of the application of the reforms to charging schedules already published or adopted.
One thing is for sure, life in the CIL world is not going to become any simpler any time soon…

Gov. Jack Dalrymple today celebrated with William S. Gussner Elementary School in Jamestown for earning a 2013 National Blue Ribbon School designation. Three North Dakota schools were named National Blue Ribbon School Awardees this year, Gussner Elementary School, Edgeley Public School and Wyndmere Elementary School.
"Congratulations to Gussner Elementary School, as well as Edgeley Public School and Wyndmere Elementary School on their designations as National Blue Ribbon Schools," Dalrymple said. "Quality education is a top priority in North Dakota and these schools are excellent examples of that. I would especially like to thank the many teachers, administrators and staff who are dedicated to providing great education for our students."
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was founded in 1982 to recognize the work of the nation's top schools.

Burma's generals probably can't believe their luck.
A year ago they failed to warn their population that a cyclone was on its way. Then they blocked international rescue efforts and arrested people for delivering aid. They eventually relented in the face of outside pressure but the human rights abuses continued. The generals forced orphaned children to join the army; they used cyclone victims as forced labour for construction projects; and they confiscated fertile farmland.
The response from the UN and Western governments has not been outrage. There have been no attempts to hold Burma's generals accountable for their actions.
Instead, there is a kind of pathetic gratitude to the generals for the limited opening of humanitarian access in the Delta. But that humanitarian space is shrinking. The international community fears that if they challenge the generals, they will lose what little access they have. They think gentle persuasion is the way forward.
This is the same approach they have taken to the political problems of Burma, and it is failing on the humanitarian front just as it failed on the political front.
The international community must also accept its share of responsibility for the generals blocking aid after the cyclone.
For decades they have stood by and watched while the dictatorship blocked humanitarian aid, especially to ethnic areas. In Karen state, in the east, where I grew up, the junta blocked all aid as part of its campaign of ethnic cleansing against my people.
The denial of aid is as effective at killing my people as a bullet, and the UN and world governments, including the British, have shamefully failed to challenge these restrictions.
A lesson that should be learnt from Cyclone Nargis is that the generals are not immune to pressure. Faced with growing condemnation, and high-level diplomacy, including from the UN secretary general himself, the generals backed down and let foreign aid workers in.
Instead of learning from this, applying pressure for humanitarian access to all the people of Burma and putting similar high-level pressure on the generals for political reform, the international community has fallen silent again.
It is time to end the policy of appeasement.

The anticipation of the release of the first depth chart for the opening game of the football season can reach anxiety levels for fans. It is a product of all the cloak and dagger of closed practices and secrecy in the fall camp workouts.
In the NFL, the training camp practices are open to the public so fans and media see the two-deep from day one and any adjustments as they take place. The college ranks are different and very few practices are open. Mike Gundy has opened some of his practices to his Extreme Campers as they see two or three early practices, but from that point on the practices are closed to all those except a few that are sworn to stay quiet about all but what the head coach and his coordinators release in the way of news.
Now, I've been following Oklahoma State football for some 44 years. I've been covering the program as a professional in the media for 32 years. I point that out because there are several oddities in the just released Cowboys depth chart that in all my years I have never seen.
I point out four areas of the depth chart for those firsts in my time.
We'll start with running backs. I know that many of you have not believed or at least have been weary of my analysis that the position has stayed wide open. The depth chart lists senior Chris Carson on top and then the word "or" with senior Rennie Childs' name below Carson. The word "or" is there again and below Childs is senior transfer Barry J. Sanders. Again another "or" is listed above the name of freshman Justice Hill.
Okay, four guys even up at running back? No, wait as Gundy was asked about sophomore returning letterman and speedster Jeff Carr. Gundy looks down at his notes and said Carr should be there and that he is in the mix as well. As a witness, I can testify that Gundy is being totally forthright there and that Carr has taken a lot of number one offensive reps as recently as Wednesday in practice. There should have been another "or" with Carr's name under Hill.
Five running backs are all in the mix. I personally have seen all five run at least a few plays with the first team offense this week. My opinion is right now I would start the freshman, but I'm not a coach and there is always some concern with starting a freshman at any position.
There is some safety with experience, but Justice Hill has been impressive and he is very strong as he became just the fifth freshman since Rob Glass came in with Mike Gundy to be in charge of the strength, speed, and conditioning for Gundy's football program to top 1,000 pounds in a combined three lifts in the summer before his first season. He joins names like Kendall Hunter and Dez Bryant in that Iron Cowboy club.
Speaking of iron, Chris Carson is as built as any back seen on this campus since David Thompson. Childs is determined, as is Sanders looking for satisfaction after three years of less than desired opportunities at Stanford. Carr has worked hard to get bigger and has been really good in the preseason. Tailback U most often refers to performance, but it might be in numbers on the depth chart this season.
"I would say we would need to use fewer backs at certain positions," Gundy said of the numbers at running back. "We have guys that can do certain things for our offense. Some of them, a couple of them will be in two-back sets and some of them won't be in two-back sets. There is more flexibility with them."
"We'll see what happens, obviously we will start out that way (running back by committee) and then as the season goes on we'll try to reign it in," offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich added.
By the way, behind Hill, my depth chart would have Sanders and Carr.
Offensive line is a position those backs are dependent on. The depth chart is not surprising with four of the five returning starters listed on top and redshirt freshman Marcus Keyes moved to left guard. Victor Salako and Zach Crabtree at the tackles, Jesse Robinson joining Keyes at the guards, and Brad Lundblade at center.
News has come out that Zach Crabtree has seen some time at center, and Larry Williams some time at right guard. Gundy came out and said he thinks eight players will play in some fashion of a rotation on the offensive line. Gundy said the eighth player is back-up guard Lemaefe "Junior" Galea'i. Now, that is unusual because the offensive line is not usually a rotation position. Find the best five and get them out there.
"I feel like we have the flexibility to play three guys other than the starters that may get 15 to 20 plays a game and we'll see how that goes. We have Victor (Salako), (Marcus (Keyes), (Larry) Williams, (Brad) Lundblade, (Michael) Wilson, Jesse (Robinson), Junior (Galea'i), and (Zach) Crabtree," Gundy said of the eight players.
"I have in my mind what I feel that we are capable of (in the run game) if everybody is healthy. And seeing the improvement in our offensive line, if we play what is a balanced defense and mix it up then we need to rush for 125 yards a game (at running back). That sounds minimal but you have to remember where we were the last couple of years, 125 yards (out of that position) would have been like Christmas for us. I think we need to keep in mind improvement in certain areas and not think that we're all of a sudden going to run for 200 yards a game."
Staying with the offense, wide receiver is yet another interesting position because there are three true freshmen listed as backups at the position. Obi Obialo is backing up Chris Lacy at one spot. On the outside, Tyrell Alexander is listed as the backup behind James Washington and inside, Dillon Stoner is listed behind sophomore Jalen McCleskey. That is a lot of youth at the position and part of that is because of the pre-fall camp injury to returning senior starter Marcell Ateman.
"You never feel good about losing a player the caliber of Ateman, but that's one of those things you talk about that is out of your control," Gundy said. "You move the next guy in. We'll know a lot more in a month at that position. We use a lot of receivers in a game and you worry about wear and tear on their bodies. That is always a factor and you worry about that as much as anything."
"I love it," senior wide receiver Austin Hays said. "I get to be in that role Charlie Moore used to tell me some day you will be the old guy and you will be tired and old like me. Dillon (Stoner), in particular, I love that guy and I have taken on that role (mentor) with him."
Finally, in the best news, at least according to Gundy, the defensive tackle position is loaded. There are three solid players at each of the inside positions on the depth chart. Eric Davis, a solid senior, and newcomer D.Q. Osborne, a really quick and strong force,are listed as the third team tandem behind returning starters Vincent Taylor and Mote Maile, and in the second group Darrion Daniels and returning from injury Vili Leveni.
"By far (best he's felt about his defensive tackle depth), really like those guys. We could play six guys in there in the first game and feel really good about it," Gundy said.
Mason Rudolph is the starting quarterback and Taylor Cornelius the backup. The linebackers and secondary are the expected names. It's just that five running backs, three freshmen receivers in the two-deep, and so many good tackles are all things you just don't see on a depth chart every day.

I love the Discovery Channel and its reruns of Bear Grylls and Ray Mears. But watching soggy survivalists setting up camp with only a binbag and a plastic bottle, I feel ashamed that if I was stuck in the middle of nowhere, I'd be unable to whip up even a tiny fire. Given that Bear and Ray make on-the-go ignition, without matches, look simple, surely I could do it.
Testing methods of fire-making ended up being a family affair – I spent a Sunday afternoon with my husband, father, stepmother, little brother and sister setting fire to newspapers and wood shavings from the pet shop.
Having canvassed opinion from my dad's dinner guests the night before ("try two boy scouts rubbed together!"), I tried three methods – the schoolboyish magnifying glass and sunshine; using a flint-and-striker keyring that we'd picked up years ago in an outdoors shop, and the wildcard way, that of using wire wool and a nine-volt battery to create sparks.
I was amazed that, with cotton wool for kindling, each method worked. The magnifying glass took an age, but when I used dried leaves as fuel, I had flames. The wire wool was less successful; the only type available in the supermarket was impregnated with cleaning fluid.
But the winner was the flint – a few brisk stokes of metal on it produced a satisfying cascade of sparks that soon had my pile of paper, sticks and wool alight. So next time I'm out in the wilderness I'll take the keyring, some cotton wool and be happy in the knowledge that I can hold a candle to Bear and co.Reuse content

Lakes Area Music Festival concert is extraordinary
Tornstrom Auditorium does not have a balcony, but last Sunday afternoon I think I could hear clapping and cheering from above the seats.
I could imagine the front row was occupied by Judy Lykins along with some of her special guests — Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Vivaldi and even Rossini with his two cats (you had to be there). They must have been honored by the Brainerd community of musicians who presented a superb concert.
And Brainerd, you can be proud of our school district's music program that has produced so many talented instrumentalists and singers who performed along with some of our band conductors, choir directors and teachers.
If you weren't fortunate enough to attend this freewill offering concert, you'll have a chance to hear visiting musicians at five more of the Lakes Area Music Festival concerts organized by Scott Lykins, Sue Johnson, John Taylor Ward and a host of others in August. For the schedule, see www.lakesareamusic.org. Thank you for your "awe"some performance.

Seriously, this is what I overheard Thursday during a conversation of people who generally claim to know a great deal about the history of hoops at UNC:
"Did Larry Brown coach here once before?"
"No. You're thinking of Kansas."
"No, no, I know he was at Kansas before. Wasn't he an assistant here or something?"
"No, I don't think so. I mean he played for Dean Smith, but I don't think he coached here. I think he played in the pros for a while and then was a pro assistant or something."
"Huh. Okay. So is he retired now or something?"
"Yeah, I think so."
Baffling as it may seem, the details of Brown's biography seem lost on a good many Tar Heel fans. So let's get the basics out of the way. One of Dean Smith's first star players, Brown anchored Carolina's teams from 1961-1963, and later joined Smith's staff as an assistant from 1965-67. In between, he earned a gold medal as a member of the 1964 Olympic team. His five seasons playing in the ABA included three All-Star appearances and one All-Star MVP award. When he took the reigns as head coach of the ABA's Carolina Cougars in 1972, he led his team to the championship in his first season. For an encore, he took the Denver Nuggets to an ABA title in 1975. After guiding the Nuggets' transition into the NBA, he jumped from the professional to the college ranks as UCLA's head coach in 1979 and immediately led the Bruins to the national championship game. He stayed only one more season, however, resigning after a disappointing year to take another NBA head coaching gig with the New Jersey Nets. In his first two seasons, he took the Nets to the playoffs.
In 1984, Brown returned to college yet again, this time to the Kansas Jayhawks. He quickly assembled several strong recruiting classes and lifted the program back to the forefront of the college ranks. In 1988, Brown's Jayhawks won the NCAA title, led by Danny Manning. But with NCAA investigations of recruiting improprieties and other violations looming, Brown resigned--some would say escaped--and took over as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs. Since the 1988-89 season, Brown has been a proverbial journeyman coach, staying nowhere longer than a few seasons, and coaching the Clippers, Pacers, and finally the Philadelphia 76ers. Under Brown, each franchise made the playoffs consistently, and the Pacers were one of the few teams who could regularly challenge the Chicago Bulls during the Michael Jordan dynasty. In Philadelphia, where he now has found a way to co-exist, even thrive with volatile Allen Iverson, the Sixers are now one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, poised to make their fifth straight appearance in the playoffs.
Not a bad resume. In fact it reads like something you'd see for a Hall of Famer. Oh yeah, he's in there, too.
And now the most important part. Through it all--the championships, the moves, the ups, and the downs—Brown has been open about his first love: Carolina basketball. Ask Larry Brown about the Tar Heels, and you are likely to get an answer that includes profound affection for Chapel Hill, for Dean Smith, for all that Tar Heel hoops have stood for over the years. It is a love that has caused Brown to routinely refer to the Carolina head coaching position as the best job in basketball. And if you ask him about his interest in that coaching position, he is rarely coy: it is a job he has wanted, and likely wants again.
If Roy Williams is Carolina's favorite son, Larry Brown is like Dean Smith's younger brother--a little more wild and unpredictable, but unquestionably loyal, and really, really good at getting teams to win at every level. So why isn't Brown already on a plane to North Carolina, gearing up to be introduced as the heir apparent to the Dean Smith legacy?
Well, it's complicated. Complicated by the circumstances under which Brown left his last two college coaching positions. Complicated by the length of time he has been away from the rigors of recruiting today's high school talent. And complicated perhaps most of all by the way Carolina's coaching search in 2000 unfolded, with Brown the bridesmaid who never quite got Dick Baddour's invitation to the wedding. In the spirit of looking forward, we won't rehash that sorry episode here. Yet here we are again, Carolina looking for a new head coach, Brown apparently weary of life in the professional ranks, and speculation swirling. So let's take a closer look.
The Good: Brown is unquestionably a winner. Folks, he even took the Clippers to the NBA playoffs. The CLIPPERS. He wins because he is a skilled bench coach who has continued to study Smith's methods and employ them everywhere he goes. He has shown an ability to take a wide variety of personnel and deploy them into a workable offensive system, and he his teams play good defense to boot.
Brown gets the most out of his players--even the temperamental ones. Though he will be 63 in September, Brown has seemed able to relate well to his younger charges in recent years. Let's be serious. If Larry Brown can handle Allen Iverson, don't you think he can handle Rashad McCants? And the way he manages players is worthy of note: he may be tough in practice, and he may lay down the law in the form of a benching or suspension when necessary, but he is not a screamer, and with few exceptions his players have been very loyal to him. This bodes well for a Carolina team that badly needs mature, authoritative, yet understanding leadership.
Brown's long sojourns in the pro ranks may be viewed as a disadvantage by some, but it's important to remember how large "The League" looms in the minds of high school and college players today. Carolina's now departed staff had exactly zero games of NBA experience among them, playing or coaching. Brown alone brings decades. He can immediately walk into the home of a recruit and tell that player and his parents not only about the virtues of the UNC way and the power of the Carolina family, he can also explain with a straight face that he knows what it takes to make it at the highest level.
Finally, Brown wants the job. He wanted it in 2000, and called Dick Baddour's refusal to carry through on Dean Smith's recommendation to interview him "humiliating." Those who know Brown best have talked openly about how much that coaching search embarrassed and pained him. But while there may be some bad blood between Brown and Baddour, that apparently has not soured Brown on the opportunity he views as the chance of a lifetime. While he has not exactly campaigned for the job, which would have been inappropriate given the level of strife that is surrounding Doherty's resignation, the signals have been clear. If Baddour wants to end the search today, many knowledgeable people close to the Carolina program have said he could do so by making one call to Philadelphia.
The Bad: One skeleton has remained easily visible in Larry Brown's closet: when he departed both UCLA and Kansas, the two fabled programs ended up on NCAA probation. In the case of the Jayhawks, the violations were particularly serious, including a range of primary and secondary violations in recruiting and relating to special benefits to players. Brown's defenders claim that his role in these violations was relatively minor compared to those committed by boosters and assistants, and Brown has not been plagued by the "dirty coach" label--he has retained a reputation for integrity. But the skeptics claim this is as much a factor tied to Brown's uncanny knack for making a quick exit when the water gets hot.
It has been widely speculated that when Baddour snubbed Brown in 2000, Brown's NCAA compliance track record played a major role in Baddour's thinking. This question was raised again at the press conference announcing Doherty's resignation, when a reporter asked if Baddour would consider a coach with NCAA violations on his record. Baddour's initial answer would have ruled out Brown as a candidate, but when asked specifically about Brown, Baddour quickly backtracked and would not close the door on any individual as a possibility. Still, the questions remain, and even if Brown were hired, there would be questions about his oversight abilities. You can trust that he would have someone looking over his shoulder at all times, and one wonders how quickly he would tire of such observation, especially considering the perceived disrespect Brown has already received from the Carolina athletic director.
While Brown may be the youngest 63 imaginable, his age also remains a factor. Even in the best of circumstances, Brown would likely coach no more than five or six years, leaving the Tar Heels facing another potentially tumultuous transition. There are ways to plan for such things, but as 2000 showed, the best-laid plans often fail. Of course Carolina tried to go for the young coach last time, and we know how that ended, so perhaps a veteran is more appealing this time around. But there is a difference between a veteran outside the family--a Tubby Smith or Bill Self--and Larry Brown as a veteran who will be eligible for Social Security only a few short years into his tenure in Chapel Hill.
Brown has complained at times of being tired in Philadelphia, worn by the rigors of the 82-game schedule, frequent bickering with Iverson, and the media glare. While the college season is notably shorter on the court, it is every bit as grueling off, with recruiting now a year-round grind of travel, assessment, planning, and public relations. Coaching Carolina, especially today, is no sabbatical, and Brown has been away from college for a long, long time. His name will carry a great deal of clout on the summer camp circuit and with prep coaches, but it has been a long time since he has been responsible for sealing the deal with a blue-chipper. The Tar Heels need someone who can immediately restock the cupboard in case any of the talented sophomores and freshmen decide to depart early. Whether Brown is that someone is open to debate.
The Question: Whether or not Brown is careful enough to keep the program clean, and whether or not he is too old, the bottom line is this: will Brown even get a chance? No matter how many fans and prominent alumni cry out for Brown as the perfect solution to the Tar Heels' problems, Dick Baddour and James Moeser reportedly are very much uncertain whether Brown is the right person for the job. After the embarrassment Brown suffered last time these questions were raised, you can be sure Baddour will only get one chance to get it right. The wheels have been greased about as thoroughly as possible behind the scenes. It is now in Baddour's hands to make the next move. And that, for many Carolina fans, is a very risky proposition.
