This unit deals with key issues around leadership and management of organisational change in the global context. After considering the social, cultural and economic factors currently encouraging organisational change in late modernity, the unit focuses on one response in the form of learning organisations. The unit explores a number of key dimensions to learning organisations through learning network theory, critical theory and feminist theory, and asks questions about ethical and moral leadership. Finally, the unit considers what it means to manage within a learning organisation in terms of managing change, managing people and managing accountability. A number of issues and dilemmas will be addressed, dilemmas that focus on competing demands for cooperation and competition, from clients and stakeholders, between equity and efficiency and between personal and corporate goals.
Based on two essays of 3000 words, each worth 50% of final assessment.
The first assignment requires you to consider your own organisation from the perspective of theories of learning organisation. You will be asked to provide evidence that you have a critical understanding of the particular theoretical perspectives and application of a theoretical framework to inform your analysis.
The second assignment can be a case study of how you deal with a dilemma in the management of change in an organisation, or how you would go about implementing a particular change. You should call upon particular theories of educational change in terms of their application in your case study.

Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-lasting inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. Symptoms usually develop over time, rather than suddenly.
Ulcerative colitis can be debilitating and sometimes can lead to life-threatening complications. While it has no known cure, treatment can greatly reduce signs and symptoms of the disease and even bring about long-term remission.
Ulcerative colitis symptoms can vary, depending on the severity of inflammation and where it occurs. Therefore, doctors often classify ulcerative colitis according to its location.
You may have the following signs and symptoms, depending on which part of the colon is inflamed:
Most people with ulcerative colitis have mild to moderate symptoms. The course of ulcerative colitis may vary, with some people having long periods of remission.
Ulcerative colitis is classified according to how much of your colon is affected. The condition can be mild and limited to the rectum (ulcerative proctitis). Or it can affect additional parts of your colon, generally with more severe symptoms. People who develop ulcerative colitis at a younger age are more likely to have severe symptoms.
See your doctor if you experience a persistent change in your bowel habits or if you have signs and symptoms such as:
Although ulcerative colitis usually isn't fatal, it's a serious disease that, in some cases, may cause life-threatening complications.
The exact cause of ulcerative colitis remains unknown. Previously, diet and stress were suspected, but now doctors know that these factors may aggravate but don't cause ulcerative colitis.
One possible cause is an immune system malfunction. When your immune system tries to fight off an invading virus or bacterium, an abnormal immune response causes the immune system to attack the cells in the digestive tract, too.
Heredity also seems to play a role in that ulcerative colitis is more common in people who have family members with the disease. However, most people with ulcerative colitis don't have this family history.
Ulcerative colitis affects about the same number of women and men. Risk factors may include:
Possible complications of ulcerative colitis include:
Symptoms of ulcerative colitis may first prompt you to visit your family doctor or general practitioner. Your doctor may recommend you see a specialist who treats digestive diseases (gastroenterologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of information to discuss, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions ahead of time can help you make the most of your time. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For ulcerative colitis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor will likely diagnose ulcerative colitis after ruling out other possible causes for your signs and symptoms. To help confirm a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, you may have one or more of the following tests and procedures:
Mayo Clinic doctors use the most advanced techniques available to diagnose ulcerative colitis, some of them developed at Mayo.
Besides the usual tests, the following tests are available at Mayo Clinic:
Ulcerative colitis treatment usually involves either drug therapy or surgery.
Several categories of drugs may be effective in treating ulcerative colitis. The type you take will depend on the severity of your condition. The drugs that work well for some people may not work for others, so it may take time to find a medication that helps you. In addition, because some drugs have serious side effects, you'll need to weigh the benefits and risks of any treatment.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are often the first step in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. They include:
Corticosteroids. These drugs, which include prednisone and hydrocortisone, are generally reserved for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis that doesn't respond to other treatments. They are given orally, intravenously, or by enema or suppository, depending on the location affected.
Corticosteroids have numerous side effects, including a puffy face, excessive facial hair, night sweats, insomnia and hyperactivity. More-serious side effects include high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, bone fractures, cataracts, glaucoma and increased chance of infection. They are not usually given long term.
These drugs also reduce inflammation, but they do so by suppressing the immune system response that starts the process of inflammation. For some people, a combination of these drugs works better than one drug alone. Corticosteroids also may be used with an immune system suppressor — the corticosteroids can induce remission, while the immune system suppressors can help maintain it.
Immunosuppressant drugs include:
You may need additional medications to manage specific symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Always talk with your doctor before using over-the-counter medications. He or she may recommend one or more of the following.
Surgery can often eliminate ulcerative colitis. But that usually means removing your entire colon and rectum (proctocolectomy). In most cases, this involves a procedure called ileoanal anastomosis that eliminates the need to wear a bag to collect stool. Your surgeon constructs a pouch from the end of your small intestine. The pouch is then attached directly to your anus, allowing you to expel waste relatively normally.
In some cases a pouch is not possible. Instead, surgeons create a permanent opening in your abdomen (ileal stoma) through which stool is passed for collection in an attached bag.
You will need more-frequent screening for colon cancer because of your increased risk. The recommended schedule will depend on the location of your disease and how long you have had it.
If your disease involves more than your rectum, you will require surveillance colonoscopy every one to two years. You will need a surveillance colonoscopy beginning as soon as eight years after diagnosis if the majority of your colon is involved, or 10 years if only the left side of your colon is involved.
If in addition to ulcerative colitis you have a rare condition called primary sclerosing cholangitis, you will need to begin surveillance colonoscopy every one to two years after you have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
Sometimes you may feel helpless when facing ulcerative colitis. But changes in your diet and lifestyle may help control your symptoms and lengthen the time between flare-ups.
There's no firm evidence that what you eat actually causes inflammatory bowel disease. But certain foods and beverages can aggravate your signs and symptoms, especially during a flare-up.
It can be helpful to keep a food diary to keep track of what you're eating, as well as how you feel. If you discover some foods are causing your symptoms to flare, you can try eliminating them. Here are some suggestions that may help:
Although stress doesn't cause inflammatory bowel disease, it can make your signs and symptoms worse and may trigger flare-ups.
To help control stress, try:
Many people with digestive disorders have used some form of complementary and alternative (CAM) therapy. However, there are few well-designed studies of their safety and effectiveness.
Some commonly used therapies include:

Adding another magazine to her credit, Vanees Paradis covers the latest issue of Net-A-Porter's The Edit.
The 41-year-old French singer/actress looked absolutely stunning in designer duds from Haider Ackermann and Montparnasse for the Raf Stahelin-shot front page while opening up about everything from her family adjusting to Hollywood life to her love for France .
Wrapping up the production of her new film "Rio, I Love You," Vanessa Paradis landed herself a feature in the summer 2014 issue of Porter magazine.
Kicking off another exciting day at Paris Fashion Week, Milla Jovovich, Vanessa Paradis, and Jessica Chastain showed up at the Chanel Fall/Winter 2013 Ready-to-Wear presentation this morning (March 5).
Given her prolific career over multiple decades, Vanessa Paradis can pull off pretty much any gig she comes across.
For instance, the French singer/actress/model masterfully captures the essence of the moment in H&M's new ad campaign for the Conscious Collection.
Putting in a hard day's work, Vanessa Paradis was busy on the set of her new movie "Fadingi Gigolo" today (November 21).
The fabulous French female shared a cigarette with a gal pal during a break in filming, smiling and chuckling as they chatted.
While working on her new film, Vanessa Paradis was photographed out in New York City this afternoon (October 26).
The 39-year-old rocked a brown bob with gaunt makeup as she filmed scenes with John Turturro for "Fading Gigolo."
Just weeks after her new movie "Cornouaille" hit the box office, Vanessa Paradis garnered herself a little added exposure by covering the October 2012 issue of Jalousemagazine.
Living it up in the City of Light, Vanessa Paradis spent the evening with her hairdresser John Nollet in Paris, France last night (August 12).
The flirty French actress/model/singer seemed quite friendly with Nollet, giving him several hugs and kisses before they parted ways. Perhaps Vanessa is looking for a distraction from her split with Johnny Depp

On a less awesome note:
I ate pizza. It was delicious. My body hates me.
My sons and I, along with my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, had been helping my brother and his sweet preggy wife move for hours. They bought pizza, Tropicana (HCFS with 5% juice in it), a veg platter, and cookies to thank us all. My kids were starving, I was starving, it was a holiday, and we dug in. I'm not proud of it, but I own it. The pizza was yummy. It didn't take long until I was lightheaded, short of breath and nauseous. I've been slightly down lately, but I dreamed horribly depressing dreams last night and woke up foggy-headed, pessimistic and nauseous, with a tender belly and painful guts. I'm thinking gluten cheats are just SO not worth it for me. I regret whatever damage may have occurred. Guh. I have no clue how I lived feeling this way every day before primal. I just want a nap.You don't have to be sick to get better.

I experienced the same thing except our pizza chaser was cheesecake. All non-Primal, of course. Sharp stabbing pains even before we were done eating. It definitely confirmed why we don't want to eat that way any more.Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
I'm alive! I missed you guys!
Happy 2 years Primal to warlordblade and me!
There is too much to try to sum up all that has happened in the past 7ish months.
I'm just gonna throw some highlight pics on here and call it good. Hopefully I'll remember to check in a little more often than I have been.
Spartan Beast: 12+ miles with tons of vert, massively tough obstacles and feats of strength, 104 degree weather, and amazing friends to get me through it. So humbling.
An obsession with waterfalls... and showering in them.
Ragnar Trails SnowBasin: Trail relay with my siblings. 16+ miles. Run, eat, sleep a little, repeat.
Mount Timpanogos Summit: Elevation 11,752 ft. 15 miles of running, over 4500 ft of vertical gain. Epic way to ring in 31, with my love and my bro and sis in law. Good times.
Dugway Isolation 30k: 19 miles, almost 3000 ft of vert. Mountains and Desert. Did it on a whim. WLB's brother Matt decided to hang back and get me through it. Humbling and amazing.
To be continued...You don't have to be sick to get better.

I won my age group in that 30k... by default. I was the only one in my age group who didn't drop to the 20k.
WLB won his age group as well, and took 3rd overall in the 50k.
Crewed WLB in the Pony Express 50 Mile race. Paced him for 9+ miles. He smashed his goals and we had a blast crewing out in the middle of nowhere!
Family Trip to Moab and the Moab Trail Half Marathon. So dang much fun.
Snow and Ice. Winter running holds such amazing surprises.
And of course, I "Graduated" my Yoga Teacher Training Program.
There is so much I missed in there. More mountain summits, more family trips, more trail miles, more adventures, many more waterfalls. I can't put it all into words. The friends we've gained, the relationships we've solidified, the fun, the tears, the fullness to bursting. Life is so good.
I hope everyone else well and happy in the new year! <3You don't have to be sick to get better.

Good Awning - Horrible Process
By CB
from Baltimore MD
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Awntech Beauty-Mark 10' Destin Motorized Awning with 96" Projection:
Ordered the awning through BJ's who in turn has Awntech call you for fabric choice, motor location and bracket style. Awning arrived motor freight and while shipping was to be included, the driver demanded $108.00 in shipping charges certified funds or money order or he'd have to take it back. He was nice enough to wait in the driveway while I went to the bank and got a money order. Called BJ's who in turn called Awntech...they said he shouldn't have collected and they mailed my money order back.Opened the box and Awntech shipped the awning with the wrong brackets even after calling to confirm. Had to have the installer come back a second time once I got the correct brackets.Awntech's instructions tell you to cut your siding to install...by doing so you let water in. Siding just needs a spacer behind it and seal the screws with silicone. Their instructions could end up costing thousands in water damage.Happy with the product but given the ordeal I would choose another brand.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Best Purchase We made for our Deck
By Shady Lady
from Chesapeake Beach, MD
This was a great purchase for the deck - we love it and wish we would have gotten it years ago. There is a remote control, which we placed inside the door, hung it on the wall out of site, and you just hit the button to open it. This was good to have it attach to the wall because I lose remotes. :)Installation took three men - because two have to hold it up. But it is not that complicated or anything. The delivery was great, but you need to be home to receive it because it is huge and heavy.

Resistance 3 - PS3
About this itemESRB Rating: M for Mature
America is lost. Four years after the epic conclusion of Resistance 2, dishonorably discharged Sentinel Joseph Capelli is in hiding from the invading Chimeran menace with a pocket of survivors, including his new wife and young son. But when Dr. Fyodor Malikov arrives with a desperate plan, he sets into motions the events of Resistance 3, the third installment in the popular full-featured first-person shooter series. Resistance 3 is created by critically-acclaimed developer Insomniac Games exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system.
Set in a brutal, alternate 1950s universe, America has been successfully conquered and destroyed by the deadly Chimeran race, forcing the last remaining human survivors to seek refuge in hiding. Players must take on the role of Joseph Capelli, the last surviving Sentinel from a clandestine military program, as he comes out of hiding to journey across a land of ruin in a heroic fight for survival against the merciless Chimera. In addition to an epic single-player campaign, Resistance 3 will offer two-player online or split-screen co-op through the single-player campaign, and a new, focused progression-based multiplayer experience.
- Journey as mankind's last hope, Joseph Capelli, across a devastated America, making your way from Haven, Oklahoma to New York City.
- Resistance 3 returns with a fully loaded arsenal of innovative weapons, including classics like the Bullseye, Auger, Rossmore and Marksman, and increases the firepower of each with a new weapon upgrade system. With the return of the fan-favorite weapon wheel, players now have access to the entire sandbox of weaponry, giving them strategic choices for any situation they encounter.
- Engage smarter and more agile Chimeran enemies – due to Insomniac's new awareness and cinematic traversal technology that gives the Chimera the ability to traverse any environment to reach you, nowhere is safe. Newly evolved Chimeran species - such as the powerful, leaping Longlegs - are larger and more deadly than ever.
- Two-player online and local/split-screen co-op gameplay allows players to team up with a friend during Capelli's journey to New York.
- A new, more focused, progression-based multiplayer experience builds on Insomniac's multiplayer pedigree, while allowing players to take part in the global resistance by battling in locations set around the globe.

Appreciate the clarification; the CEOMR skin uses some of these controls.
I'm going to take the next few weeks to clean up the skin and also fix some of the behaviors. I'll ping Jezz_X once I have something that works at all resolutions as I have no means to update the SVN directly ... haven't earned my stripes yet

Pirates Prospect Primer: Polanco blossoms
Pittsburgh prospect looks to be the final piece in a promising outfield
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | March 28, 2014 10:00 AM ET
Some players are on the verge of stardom, others are entering a crucial phase of their development and still others are getting their first tastes of full-season ball. With the 2014 season approaching, MiLB.com takes a look at the most intriguing prospects from each MLB organization.
Shining star: Gregory Polanco, OF
In the span of just two seasons, the Gregory Polanco bandwagon has grown almost as quickly as the muscles enveloping his 6-foot-4 frame. Once a skin-and-bones tool bag, Polanco has added roughly 50 pounds since signing in 2009. Now weighing in at a muscular 220, his skill set has him poised to join Andrew McCutchen and Starling Marte to form what could be baseball's best outfield by the middle of 2014.
The left-handed hitter is a five-tool talent, bashing 44 extra-base hits and swiping 38 bags with a .285 average and .791 OPS across three levels last season. Athletic enough to be a promising center-field prospect, the Dominican Republic native from Santo Domingo figures to be a plus defender in right thanks to quality range and an above-average arm.
"Just looking at his total career numbers, above A-ball, there's not many at-bats," said Pirates director of Minor League operations Larry Broadway, referencing Polanco's 252 at-bats above Class A Advanced. "Obviously, he played Winter Ball this winter, which was a big chunk of upper-level experience, but the biggest thing is really just logging some upper-level experience."
His foray this winter was a huge success -- Polanco batted .331 with a .922 OPS in the Dominican Winter League -- and a strong Spring Training has only put fuel to the fire of fans clamoring for his arrival in Pittsburgh.
"The sky is the limit for this guy," Double-A Altoona manager Carlos Garcia said. "He's a player full of tools and a player who is very mature. He understands what he has to do to be able to succeed."
Major League-ready: Jameson Taillon, RHP
Taillon's been a name on the prospect radar for years now, appearing at No. 9 on Jonathan Mayo's first MLB.com Top 100 Prospects list in 2011 and maintaining a spot within the top 20 every year since. He checks in at No. 16 on the '14 edition.
The 6-foot-5 right-hander's stuff has been undeniably good since going second overall in the 2010 Draft. Taillon packs mid-90s heat and pairs it with one of the Minors' filthiest breaking pitches -- a heavy, hammer curve. His changeup is now an above-average offering, according to Mayo, and the hurler has shown solid command of his three-pitch mix.
Triple-A, in Broadway's words, is a "finishing school," for prospects such as Taillon. If he stays healthy -- already a mild concern -- he will likely spend about half a season with the Indians before jumping to the Majors. Pirates fans are hopeful the transition is as smooth as that of former top prospect Gerrit Cole.
And what do the Pirates need to see from Taillon before pushing him into the MLB rotation?
"It's the little things about his pitch usage and attacking hitters," Broadway said. "How to think through a game while being able to compete at the same time. It's more he needs the reps of that level, understanding the upper-level hitters and what they're going to do to him."
Full-season debutants: Austin Meadows, OF and Reese McGuire, C
Pittsburgh's first-round picks from the 2013 Draft are, for the time being, a package deal. They played in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and Class A Short-Season New York-Penn League together last season, and this year, both will join West Virginia in the Class A South Atlantic League.
Meadows left no doubt last season that he's ready for the full-season challenge. The center fielder posted a .918 OPS in 43 GCL games, then batted .464 in nine New York-Penn League contests split between the end of the season and the playoffs.
McGuire, selected 14th overall last summer, is a promising defender who is advanced both physically and mentally for a 19-year-old. He has a rocket arm and quality catching mechanics for a player less than a year out of high school, and the Pirates have raved about his intangibles.
"He's always just fit right in wherever he's at," Broadway said. "He works with the pitchers well. He has an advanced feel for being a teammate and leading staffs."
More to keep an eye on: With McGuire entrenched behind home plate, 2012 second-rounder Wyatt Mathisen is moving to third base full time for the Power, where the team is hopeful consistent at-bats and good health will lead to a breakout campaign. ... Another notable from West Virginia is '13 fourth-round pick JaCoby Jones, a tremendous athlete who moved to shortstop full time after playing both outfield and infield in college. ... The Pirates are encouraged by the defensive progress of Alen Hanson, with Double-A Altoona manager Carlos Garcia saying the 21-year-old looks much sharper after playing in the Arizona Fall League and Dominican Winter League. "You know, I had my doubts," Garcia said. "But right now, I don't have any doubt he's going to stay [at shortstop]."

Jealous of his online friends
I'll be interviewing Janeane Garofalo at the Globe today. As some of you might remember, she is a friend of Love Letters. If you have a question for her, tweet me. And feel free to watch the interview online.
Dear Meredith,
I'm 29 and have been in a wonderful relationship for the last 4 years. We live together and are best friends. I love him with all of my heart, and we have discussed marriage and children as things we both want for the future. We are generally happy together and love spending time with one another.
Here's the "but." He has these online friends that he talks to daily. One of whom I know is a girl, and I do not know her. I feel uncomfortable about this, and when I have expressed my concerns, he tells me that she is a friend of a friend of his who I do know, and says "it's my private life" since he does not have many friends in real life. He also doesn't have much family either -- most of them live far away and he doesn't talk to them anymore for various reasons.
He does not chat with her every day, and I know for certain that he does not see her because we are together every night of the week, and besides which, I trust him. But when I know he's talking to her, I feel empty and sad -- like he's cheating on me emotionally. On the flip side, I have guy friends who I talk to occasionally that he has never met, but we don't chat regularly, and it's usually over a silly Twitter message or Facebook status reply.
I am probably making a mountain out of a molehill, so I feel a little silly writing in about this, but I wouldn't be writing if I didn't feel bothered. Part of the problem too, I think, is that I've lost touch with a lot of my college and high school friends. I moved north to live with him, and my family and all my old friends are further south, at least an hour's drive away, which isn't too bad on paper, but in reality it's a bit of a hike. I've been able to make friends through my job, which is great, but since he works at home, I think he feels isolated a lot, which explains why he connects with "friends" he has online.
I'm certainly not looking to end this relationship by any means. I am extremely happy aside from this one issue, but I'm not sure how to cope with it. When I talk to him, I hit road blocks. Any advice from anyone else who has had similar experiences would be wonderful. Thanks for reading.
– Not Sure in NH
This is about you, not him, NSINH. You miss your friends and family, and you're still adjusting to your new life up north. Meanwhile, your boyfriend works from home. He needs this online community to get out of his own head.
It's time to start making that hour drive to see friends and family and to accept that you're not going to know every little detail about your boyfriend's relationships. I mean, what's the alternative? For him to show you his messages? Would you want him looking at yours? Do you really want to be his only close friend? Would you feel any better if he saw these online friends in person all of the time? Something tells me you wouldn't.
The more you round out your own life, the better. You've turned this woman's relationship with your boyfriend into an emotional affair, but it sounds like she's just one of the many friends he messages throughout the day. Don't let your imagination get the best of you. Just work on growing your community so that it's not all about you and him all the time.
Readers? Is she making a big deal out of nothing? Is this woman a threat? Do they need more mutual friends? Does he owe her a better explanation? Help.
– Meredith

Conference to address 'The Futures of Human Rights'
The future of human rights will be the focus of a public conference organized by the University of South Carolina Feb. 26 – 28.
The conference, "The Futures of Human Rights: Moral, Legal and Political Cultures," will take place at the Clarion Hotel in downtown Columbia. It is the 11th annual comparative-literature conference hosted by the university. All sessions are open to the public; participation in other activities, including meals and receptions, requires registration. Sessions run from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
U.S. and European scholars, representing the spectrum of disciplines from English to political science, will discuss a range of topics that will explore current human-rights topics and how different cultures and international organizations may address human rights in the future.
"The idea of human rights is frequently invoked in national and international discussions as a moral trump card, and yet never has this idea been so contested as it is today," said university professor of English and comparative literature Dr. Meili Steele, the conference chairman. "Civic engagement plays an important role in understanding and achieving human rights. We welcome South Carolinians to attend the conference and take part in these discussions."
Columbia University's Lori Damrosch will deliver the conference's Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Lecture at 3:30 p.m. in the university's School of Law auditorium. It is the only event that will not be held at the Clarion. Her talk is titled "International Courts and the U.S. Supreme Court: Who Has the Final World." Damrosch is Columbia Law School's Henry L. Moses Professor of Law and International Organization.
The topics include the human rights of women and children, human rights in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, human rights and U.S foreign policy, international courts and human rights and human rights and literature.
For additional information, contact Steele at 803-777-4204 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Stallone Confirmed For Grudge Match
He'll box Robert De Niro
Ding ding! Round three! We've been following the progress of unlikely old-timers boxing comedy Grudge Match since word of the project first surfaced in October 2010. It took until July of this year for Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone to start circling the roles of retired pugilists stepping back into the ring, and yet more time for them to commit and for Warner Bros. to ring the bell to start work on the film.
But ring it has, with Peter Segal still aboard to referee/direct the thing and Think Like A Man's Kevin Hart now cast as the Don King-style fight promoter who arranges the fight card.
The film's script, meanwhile, has been beaten into shape (or submission – it remains to be seen which) by Entourage creator Doug Ellin on a screenwriter-for-hire gig.
Our money's still on Stallone winning this one, even if De Niro may look to go method and do his best to reclaim his Raging Bull form. But given how ripped Stallone is what with the Expendables films and other action movies, he's got to be the favourite.
There's no word on when the shoot will kick off, but with everyone now on board, it shouldn't be too long.

The Pixel – Google's $1,300 Chromebook Web Appliance
Posted on Chris Poindexter | NO COMMENTS
Sporting a sleek, stylish design and the most impressive stats you can imagine for a web appliance, Google launched The Pixel to largely negative reviews in the mainstream tech media.
A mere 16.2mm thick and weighing in a tick over 3 pounds the Pixel sports a 13 in display with a .55mm layer of Gorilla Glass bonded to the screen. The keyboard is backlit and the trackpad is made from the same hardened glass as the screen. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy the dazzling 2560×1700 resolution screen with almost five hours of battery life at your disposal.
The biggest ding on the The Pixel seems to be that it has limited utility when not connected to the internet. Other criticisms, like the limited utility of the touchscreen, are common to notebooks and laptops as Microsoft discovered with Windows 8.
While there's a temptation to pile on Google for creating an over-priced web appliance with limited utility, I would remind readers that the likes of AT&T and Comcast mocked Google Fiber when the concept was first announced and yet there are people praying to Google shrines across the country, pleading for the day when Google's internet and entertainment service is available in their area.
If you look across the technology landscape internationally, the trend toward internet appliances is very much intact, particularly in countries like Japan where the appliance trend started. While this product may be a bit out in front of the market in the U.S., I'd be willing to bet that the future of laptops and notebook computers look more like the Pixel than the laptop you have on your desk today.
Still, when you can get a MacBook Air with a 13.3 in display for $200 less, I'm going to guess the Pixel is going to be, at best, a niche market product with limited potential for sales. All the same I'm keeping an open mind; the tech landscape is littered with the bodies of companies underestimating the big G.

When having sex in public, whether by yourself or in a group, one must take stringent precautions to avoid being seen, heard, or unfairly heckled. Dark alleys are great, but there can be some unscrupulous characters about, so make sure you hide the money first. Public parks are also good, and restrooms are perfect. According to Joseph Couture, author of Peek: Inside the Private World of Public Sex, the best "have double doors, because you can hear the first door open, and it gives you a second before they walk through the second door, before they're actually able to see you." Essentially you'll want to scout a location that's private, provides some cover, and allows you a wide vantage point so you can react quickly to any interlopers or horny senators.
In, say, which grocery store? Because if we're talking about the place where I shop, I'll thank you to stop giggling and bag my groceries already.
As always, be polite. Frankly, I'm a little stunned that I have to tell you that. And "Frankly, frankly," says etiquette expert Peter Post of the Emily Post Institute, "if you were big enough to have a one-night stand with them, you're big enough to have at least a modicum of conversation with them." (But stick to one modicum if there are other people around.) Because frankly, frankly, frankly, this one-night stand is due the same uninterested "Hey, hi, wow, how are you, yeah, hey looks like rain ..." that you'd bestow upon anyone else whose window you crept out of at dawn, or next time no tip.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya have withdrawn world silver medalist Silas Kiplagat and three other runners from this week's Diamond League meeting in London, fearing they could be burned out before next month's athletics world championships in Moscow.
"London is too close to Moscow and this may burn out our athletes," Athletics Kenya (AK) president Isaiah Kiplagat told reporters on Tuesday.
"We shall not allow the athletes we selected for the world championships to run in any other (Diamond) League races until after Moscow.
"Our athletes should learn from Russian athletes who have not featured in the (Diamond) League meetings because they want to perform well at home."
As well as Silas Kiplagat, who is the world silver medalist in 1,500m, Nixon Chepseba, Conseslus Kipruto and Olympic steeplechase bronze medalist Abel Mutai have been withdrawn from the London meeting on Friday and Saturday.
Kenyan athletes and AK were criticized last year when Kenya underperformed at the London Olympics, with many observers saying the runners looked jaded after racing in events ahead of the Games.
Silas Kiplagat won the 1,500m race at the Kenyan trials ahead of world champion Asbel Kiprop, while Chepseba was third. Teenager Kipruto won the 3,000m steeplechase ahead of Mutai.
Kenya have selected 42 athletes for the world championships which run from August 10-18.

Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College football team travels to Clinton, S.C. to open the 2012 season against Presbyterian College at Bailey Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.
The Brevard College football team begins its fifth season as a member of the South Atlantic Conference and its sixth under Head Coach Paul Hamilton. Returning nine offensive starters, the Tornados look to make an impact in front of the Brevard faithful in 2012.
Coach Hamilton's offense returns after their second consecutive season in the top 10 in NCAA Division II rushing offense, finishing eighth with 257.91 rushing yards per game in 2011. Brevard's defense also returns six starters from last year's squad, including Second Team All-SAC linebacker Rufus Jenkins.
Quarterback Aaron Reese returns for his senior season after finishing among the conference's rushing and passing leaders in 2011. The 5-9 senior passed for 904 yards and 10 touchdowns last season on his way to several Brevard passing records. Reese also led the Tornados with 747 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns.
Kelvin Jeter, a 2012 preseason All-SAC Second Team running back, returns along with senior fullback Derek Church to lead the Tornados in the backfield. Jeter picked up 517 yards rushing last season on 97 carries, averaging 5.3 yards per carry, while Church was averaging 88.7 yards per game on the ground before suffering a season-ending injury against Mars Hill. Andre Overholt and a host of freshmen look to continue the Brevard rushing successes after the Tornados accumulated 200-plus rushing yards in seven of the team's 11 games last season.
Eric Watts, Brevard College's all-time leader in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, will lead the Tornados receiving core this season. The senior finished up the 2011 season with 33 catches for 533 yards and eight touchdowns to lead Brevard's receiving efforts, while Overholt, Jeter and Church also show great potential.
Preseason All-SAC First Team selection Garrett Johnson and Second Team selection Andrew Velazquez lead a talented and battle-tested group on the offensive line for the Tornados. Jordan Bookhart, Cody Anderson, Dylan Hornor, Dusty Holder and Jeremy Blake also return to provide depth and experience, while a host of freshmen will battle for playing time.
Jenkins, whose 14 tackles for loss were second in the SAC in 2011, will lead a Tornados defense that finished fourth in the SAC in both rushing and scoring defense last season. Brevard looks to an infusion of youth under new Defensive Coordinator Kevin Adleman to continue putting pressure on opposing offenses. Rommie Fairchild returns to lead the Tornados defensive line after finishing eighth on the team in tackles last season with 42 stops. The rising sophomore also had four tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. A strong incoming class will keep the rotation going up front as Brevard looks to a host of freshmen competing for playing time in the trenches.
Led by Jenkins, C.J. Wilson and Michael Gruber, the linebacking group remains the most experienced on the defensive side of the ball for the Tornados. Wilson finished second on the team in tackles on the season with 78, while Jenkins and Gruber combined for 108 tackles. Chris Jones, Philip Curcio and Anthony Shakir return in the secondary for the Tornados and will battle a strong incoming class for playing time on the Tornados defensive backline.
On special teams, the Tornados will again rely on the leg of Watts, who led the conference and finished 12th in the nation with 41.61 yards per punt last year.

Beavers head south to take on San Diego State
LISTEN LIVE TO OSU at SDSU on 1190 KEX & FOX SPORTS RADIO 620! KICKOFF - SATURDAY AT 4:30pm
THIS WEEK: Oregon State (2-1) is back on the road this week for its final non-conference game of the season traveling to Qualcomm Stadium to play the San Diego State Aztecs (0-2).
BEAVS GO FOR 100: USC owns the most victories in the Pac-12 Conference this century with 129 (105 with vacated wins), followed by Oregon (126), OSU (99), UCLA (88), Cal (87), Arizona State (87), Stanford (84), Washington (72), Arizona (71), WSU (68). Utah has 111 victories this century and Colorado has 69.
SERIES: This is only the fourth meeting between the two schools in football, with SDSU leading 2-1 with wins in 1972 (17-8) in San Diego and in 1975 (25-0) in Portland. The Beavers' lone victory was a 35-3 decision in 2000 that in reality kick started that team to an 11-1 record and the 2000 Fiesta Bowl title. In that 2000 game running back Ken Simonton (currently third for all-time rushing yds in the Pac-12 with 5,044) scored two touchdowns, his backup Patrick McCall tallied one, former Green Bay Packer linebacker all-star Nick Barnett recovered a fumble in the end zone and receiver and NFL standout Chad Johnson scored on a pass from Jonathan Smith. It was Johnson's first collegiate touchdown. The two teams are scheduled to conclude the home and home series with the Aztecs traveling to Corvallis Sept. 20, 2014.
RILEY RETURNS TO THE QUALCOMM: Beaver head coach Mike Riley left Oregon State after the 1998 season to become the head coach of the San Diego Chargers for the 1999 through 2001 seasons. Beaver defensive coordinator Mark Banker was with the Chargers with Riley serving as the team's defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach. OSU special teams coordinator Bruce Read served in the same role with the Chargers in those years. Secondary coach Rod Perry was on the San Diego sideline from 1997-2001 as the defensive backs coach. Offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh was in a similar role with the Chargers from 1997-98.
FORMER BEAVERS ON OPPOSITE SIDELINE: Third-year SDSU head coach Rocky Long served as Oregon State's defensive coordinator from 1991-95 and produced some of the school's top players from that side of the ball. Long also was the coach of New Mexico when the Beavers defeated the Lobos in the 2003 Las Vegas Bowl 55-14. Wide receivers coach LeCharls McDaniel was the special teams/tight ends coach for head coach Mike Riley at OSU for the 2003 and '04 seasons. Aztec DL coach Osia (OH-say) Lewis played and coached at OSU. Lewis played linebacker for the Beavers and lettered from 1982-85. He made a game-high 19 tackles in OSU's win at Washington in 1985 (21-20) in what was then the biggest upset in NCAA history at the time as the Beavers were a 37-point underdog. Lewis later coached the linebackers and special teams for the Beavers from 1991-96 on a staff that also included current Michigan head coach Brady Hoke.

Kudos from a Ventura Citizen and from the City of Bell
Accoclades to District 7 staff have recently arrived from many sources. Here are a few...
This issue of Inside 7 has four letters of accomodation written to and about District 7 staff members and offices. Click on the "LETTERS" section on the Inside 7 main page to link to letters: one from the City of Malibu, and another from the International Partnering Institute.
The following letter to the editor ran in the Ventura County Star newspaper, Monday, June 3, 2013. Jan E. Whitcomb works in District 7 Office of Design Surveys in Ventura. The letter reads:
Crosswalk Changes
I'd like to thank Caltrans for adding an additional white line in front of the pedestrian crosswalk at the eastbound exit to Kimball Road on Highway 126. This is a busy crosswalk with people going over to the new park. The problem was that cars would stop in the crosswalk when the light was red, forcing people to walk around onto 45 mph Kimball Road. Very spooky!
Thanks in particular to Jan E. Whitcomb for all her help in seeing this work to completion. She called me several times to let me know the status of the project. I feel like she did a really great job! Also thanks to all the other Caltrans people behind the scene: engineers, administrators and road crews.
I have heard too many jokes about Caltrans crews and am now pleased to know personally that they are dedicated to public safety and do quality work in the process.
Jack Timmons, Ventura
The following letter was written on May 31, 2013 to Mike Miles, District 7 Director, from Joe Perez, Community Development Director in the City of Bell citing accommodations to District 7's Inter-Governmental Review (IGR) staff and its Office Chief, DiAnna Watson.
Mr. Miles,
The City of Bell is in the process of entitling and selling approximately 40 acres of industrial property in order to meet a court ordered settlement deadline. The importance of successfully completing this project within a short time cannot be overstated. By completing the process, the City will avoid losing property through foreclosure and a potential deficiency judgment of $12-$15 million that would be financially devastating to the City.
In light of this, we asked to meet with Caltrans to discuss the project and receive input on traffic impacts and mitigation. The Caltrans District 7 staff was extremely accommodating in meeting with us early in the process. On May 13, 2013, the City of Bell's entitlement team met with IGR/CEQA Branch Chief DiAnna Watson and her staff. Ms. Watson and her group were extremely professional, reasonable and cooperative. It was also obvious that the Caltrans staff worked as a team in approaching problems and working thorough complex issues. Not only did we feel Ms. Watson and her team understood the City's challenging circumstances, but they also demonstrated incredible flexibility and creativity in addressing legitimate traffic related concerns. The valuable feedback we received was provided without delay and in such a way that allowed us to continue the environmental review process.
Once again, we were very impressed with Ms. Watson and her staff and are appreciative of their high level of cooperation with the City of Bell, especially during this critical time in the City's history, as it works to overcome significant financial challenges.
Best Regards,
Joe Perez
Community Development Director
City of Bell
6330 Pine Avenue, Bell, CA 90201

Our Daily Correspondent
Frozen BooksBy Sadie Stein
Someone has posted the following to Reddit:
My roommate gets distracted sometimes, and she misplaced her book in the freezer. I'm not making this up.
The pages are warped from moisture and most of them are frozen solid in a block.
How can we save the book?
Cue the Fahrenheit 451 jokes—lots of them. But there were also plenty of practical tips to help the poster with his or her wacky dilemma. These include (but are not limited to) blotting the pages with paper towels and/or rice; allowing the book to dry in a cool room so as to slow melting; rubbing the paper with vinegar to prevent mildew; and, if all else fails and the poster deems the book worth it, investing in a vacuum pump and creating an at-home distiller.

Dana Holgorsen - Fall Camp Update
WVU Athletic Communications
August 14, 2014 02:51 PM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
Coach Dana Holgorsen addresses the media prior to practice No. 14 on Thursday, Aug. 14.
Opening Statement
Okay, I'm all out of statements, so we will open it straight up to questions and let Mr. Nesbitt go first… Next question please. I really appreciate you guys that are here today. I thought we had a pretty good one (press conference) on Monday, and we will continue to build a great working relationship and provide you with as much as information as possible. With that said, that's get started. Today practice No. 15, half way over. We ended up having one two-a-day, but the days of the two-a-days in the past where everyone looks forward to camp ending are long gone. We have uppers practice today. We will go full pads, live tomorrow. We will go scrimmage Saturday morning and then camp ends. The guys will move into the dorms and all the students will be back and then we will have the luxury of practicing our game week. We have the mop game next Saturday, and then the real thing the week after that. I like where we stand right now. We have pretty much everything in. Trying to get them back and healthy at this point, but we still have to keep moving forward which is a good healthy practice tomorrow and a pretty good scrimmage on Saturday. All joking aside that is kind of where we're at. So I'll take some questions now.
On the evaluation of starting positions
A corner spot. We are still looking for a starting corner. (Sophomore)
Daryl Worley
has established that spot. (Junior safety) KJ is just now coming back, so
KJ Dillon
is getting back under the swing of things. Linebacker, we have battles going on. (Senior) Brandon (Golson) is going to be in a green jersey again today, should get cleared in about another week or so. (Redshirt, senior Nick) Kwiatkoski has been out for about a week so that's left. (Redshirt freshman linebacker)
Al-Rasheed Benton
and (redshirt junior linebacker)
Edward Muldrow
will get a bunch of snaps here, so what the rotation is going to be right there I don't think we know yet. Same thing that is happening on the D-line. I think we're a good, solid two-deep on defense. I just don't know who the starters are, and I don't know what the rotations are going to be yet.
On evaluating the running back position
Still figuring it out. (Senior running back) Dreamius (Smith) had a good day a couple days ago. The same thing is going to be there. Whoever we put down on paper as far as who the starter is, I don't think that is going to be an indication of how many reps they're going to get. Whoever gets the hot hand, whatever our game plan is going to be – those guys are versatile, they can do different things so everybody wants to see the starters of who we march out there, but I think what's probably more important is how many snaps they are going to get throughout the course of the game. I don't know the answer to that yet.
On changes at football camp
To answer your question, yes. Everybody has the same amount of days that they can tackle and have live contact and all that, which is about the same amount that we did last year. I'll tell you what we did different this year – It's what's going to happen next week. As far as last year, we had a pretty heavy first school week – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Those five days were pretty heavy, and I felt like we were tired going into game week, so what we are going to do is practice a true game week next week. It will be just like it will be the next week as far as a heavy Tuesday and still put pads on and practice Wednesday, and then we are going to teach them how to practice Thursday, how to practice Friday, how to travel Friday and then how to have a game day on Saturday. I think that we will get our legs underneath us a little bit better.
On frustration from last year
It was miserable. (Assistant coach (defensive coordinator/linebackers)) Tony (Gibson) and I were talking about this the other day. I don't anticipate those dynamics ever happening again, in the next 30 years of coaching or however long I am fortunate enough to be able to coach. You have three new coaches that have never been with us before. We had the issues at the quarterback position that have been very well documented. You had six or seven skill kids that have been in the program for their first year. That's just a dynamic that is not good. I thought we did a pretty good job up front of holding it together with some older guys, but the timing, the continuity, the chemistry just wasn't there. Looking back on it, you sit there and you study what you did and what the plays are and try to make some changes – which we do every year. With that said, I think we are way ahead of where we were a year ago. Time will tell on how it is.
On the comfort level at camp
There is familiarity with everything – with personnel, with coaches, with scheme. We know who our starters are on offense. We know who is going to play. Those guys know what the offense is, and we are not teaching them what to do. I mean we were teaching guys what to do in game eight, nine, 10 and 11 last year. At this point in time offensively, we are not teaching anybody what to do. We are just trying to get better at what we are actually trying to accomplish. It's all technique and learning nuances on where they are supposed to be and how they are supposed to get there as opposed to telling them where to go and all that. It's a big difference. Night and day.
On the offensive tempo
I am very happy with it. We worked two minute the other day for the first time, and it was almost like we have been doing it all along. The worst thing that you can do when you're trying to establish an offense is to go fast. I am very fortunate and very comfortable with being able to go as fast as we want to go right now.
On the offensive line progression
The five starters are playing really well together, and we all know who those five are. Those guys are playing well. I am still anxious to see how our relatively inexperienced, talented tackles are as far as some pretty good pass rushers that we are going to face, obviously game one and then in the Big 12 as well. I just gave (redshirt senior offensive line) Mike Calicchio a scholarship. He is the 83rd guy on scholarship right now. Just such a good story. This big, giant of a man was awful five years ago when he showed up. He couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time. He is a hard worker on the field and off the field and is a great student. He is one of our leaders on the entire team right now. When he talks, people listen. He is a guy that can play all five positions. He can't play center, but he can play guard and tackle. He is a guy that we can count on. (Redshirt junior offensive line)
Stone Underwood
was clearly our sixth guy for the first week and a half. He had a little bit of a shoulder deal – actually you guys saw it during the Oklahoma drill. He is just now coming back from that, and it's been eight or nine days. He is a guy that we are going to count on. The other guy is (redshirt sophomore offensive line)
Tony Matteo
– who I have been very happy with. He is the back-up center, and he is a guy that is getting better and better every day. I would say right now that those are kind of our eight guys. We got some young kids like (redshirt freshman offensive line)
Marcell Lazard
and (redshirt freshman offensive line)
Grant Lingafelter
that have been doing well as redshirt freshmen. I hesitate to talk about redshirt freshmen.
On being successful as a first year player
Speed of the game is the biggest thing. First year players can be freshman or JUCO guys or four year guys. If they are not used to the speed of the game then they are going to struggle a little bit. They have to be able to think quickly. It is not always about size and speed – it is about the mental aspect of reacting to it.
On projection of the run/pass ratio
We want to be able to do both. We couldn't do either last year, but we wanted to be able to do both. It all just depends on what the defense is doing. If they out-number you in the box, then we are not going to sit out there and run into people that are unblocked. We have to be able to throw the ball. Certain people's game plans are going to put two or three safeties back there all the time, and we have to be able to sustain blocks for that up front then you should run the ball every single play. It's all indicative in what the defense is doing, and you have to be able to do both. The teams that are good are able to do both. I been on plenty of teams where we were only able to do one thing, and I don't consider that to be a great offense.
On offense efficiency
We were middle of the pack last year, offensively, in yards per game and yards per play, but dead last in the stuff that matters which is third downs, fourth downs, turnover margin and score zone rate. Good offenses are the ones that are extremely efficient in those situations. Everybody is good enough to be able to get yards and first downs. It's the great offenses that are able to be efficient when it really matters and I hope you didn't jump the gun on that. We haven't played a game, and I don't know if we made progress on it or not. We have focused on it, but we focused on it last year as well.
On improving offense efficiency
Again, its people that understand what you are doing. There is no secret. Florida State University was the most efficient red zone team in the country last year at 97 percent. I would say that's pretty good. When they got down there they scored every time. That's just being able to understand the offense and execute when it gets hard. It gets hard on third down. It gets harder on fourth down, and it even gets harder when you get closer to the goal so being able to execute efficiently when things are extremely hard is what good teams are made of. We had our problems at that defensively too. I thought we were pretty good defensively – just in playing defense we got better – but when it was third down we weren't very good. We were last in the league in third down defense if I am not mistaken. We have to get better that. We have to get better at critical situations.
On overall things to work on
We covered every situation at this point – 15 days into it we covered every situation. I mean I'm not saying we are good at every situation, I'm saying we covered it. Two minute was something we covered a couple days ago. Because of how we been practicing, I didn't think that we would have a problem with being able to do that. I mean you guys saw that up-tempo period that we did. Part of that period is just cold plays and as fast as you can. It does two things. It puts people in opportunities that they have to play five, six or seven plays in a row, and they have to be able to think when they are tired. We are getting them in game shape and putting them in situations where they don't have time to think about, they just have to react to it. Even though that period may look bad at times, I'm okay with it, because of what we are trying to get accomplished in that specific period. So when we went into the two minute we are taking it a step further where they have to know the situation. They have to know when to get out of bounds. They have to know when to clock it. They know when they can huddle up. They know when they can sub. So, we are able to get up on the ball and snap it as quickly as we possibly can and gets played calls because we have been practicing that. We just haven't looked at the situation as far as how much we were down, how much time was on the clock – that sort of thing. Which we responded to that pretty well.
On No. 2 quarterback decision
Yeah. (Senior quarterback) Paul (Millard) looks good. He has been taking reps and is obviously the most game ready. I haven't made that decision for sure yet. (Freshman quarterback) William (Crest Jr.) is a guy that is going to continue to rep and continue to get better. His ceiling is high. How far he can advance, I don't know yet, so he will continue to get reps as well.
On wildcat scheme
I never done it – not to say I'm against it – I never done it based on not having a guy to do it. Then in addition to that, we always had starting quarterbacks, discard last year, but we always had a guy, that was the main guy, that was pretty good and we didn't want to take him off the field. Period.
On pulling out your starting quarterback
I think it can be harmful, yes. I think it can disrupt your flow. I think if there is one clear cut main guy – at this point (redshirt senior quarterback) Clint (Trickett) is the main guy, Clint is playing extremely well – then there is a comfort level that he has that I'm excited about. There is also a comfort level that his teammates have with him, which is good. Pulling him off the field will not be the appropriate thing to do at this time.
On redshirting freshman quarterback William Crest Jr.
Well, we had to use three of them last year. In a perfect world, you would like to redshirt everybody that has a redshirt, but I don't think we can make that decision at this point.
On redshirt senior quarterback
Clint Trickett
mastering the offense
I don't know what that means. Football is hard. It is a new challenge each and every week when you are trying to figure out what the game plan is and how you execute it when it is a different set of dynamics on the defensive side of the ball. I don't think anybody has mastered anything. He (
Clint Trickett
) certainly hasn't. He hasn't mastered anything in a game setting at this point. I am very happy at where he's at, mentally. I am happy of where he is at physically. I am happy with where he is at from a leadership perspective. He has to do it in a game, before everyone is extremely happy with him. You know that. I think everybody does.
On the confidence level with the special teams
Good. (Associate head coach (special teams coordinator/safeties)) (Joe) DeForest has a plan and is pretty good at what he does. That is widely known across the country. He's done a good job with these guys. They are a bunch of goof balls. (Redshirt senior kicker (Michael) Molinari did something. He won a bet, so he did a big chest bump and came down and twisted his ankle. At that point, we had to remind them that they have a job that they have a job to do, but he's going to be fine. Those guys have a good relationship with Joe and their functioning pretty well. The return aspect is something that we all talked about. We were bad at it. It's been an area of emphasize in camp. I think we have guys that can return the ball. Our blocking has to better at front at both punt returns and kick returns. Then the kickoff and the punt team last year were as good as anyone in the country at that. I am extremely happy with where we are at.
On the kickoff position
He's (
Michael Molinari
) got a boot on is foot right now. Mike's done well and then (Junior) Nick (O'Toole) can do it as well. We have two guys that can do it. We would prefer (Michael) Molinari to be the guy just so that way then he can specialize in different things. When he comes back, I don't know. We will see.
On the holder for kickoffs
Nick O'Toole is a great holder. He may better than Mike at it, but Mike has the experience so we will obviously go with him. That is one area that I feel like I don't need to worry about too much. I promised Joe (DeForest) when they miss, which chances are they will at times, that I will mind my own business.
On talking to the players about Monday's comments being taken out of context
No. We have sessions like that obviously. We try to educate them and Mike (Montoro (Director of Football Communications)) and (Associate Athletic Director/Communications) Mike (Fragale) do a great job of educating them as far as what they say and we have great kids that understand what realities are and what you pay attention to and what you don't.
On injuries thus far
(Jared) Barber (senior linebacker) is not going to be ready. It's unfortunate. He is such a good team leader. He will still have that role as a leader. He gets down there and coaches the heck out of the linebackers. He is a great kid to have around. If he doesn't get back to where he is able to play this year than a year from now he is going to be excited about being a fifth-year senior and being able to graduate with 25 of the guys that he came in with. If he can't go, then he won't. (Redshirt freshman wide receiver) Jacky's out. Other than that, there are some day-to-day guys. The list grows and shrinks every day based on the previous practice, but at this point in time those are the only two that have been strictly ruled out.
On Alabama preparation
Not yet. We will start Monday. My theory has been this way forever. At that point in time, the kids are excited about moving into their dorms and all the females running around campus. Camp breaks on Saturday, and we are going to have an academic meeting on Sunday night. We have Football 101 on Sunday night, and you all are invited to that. Then Monday they start school and that is their off day, so we will sit in meetings for 15 hours and begin our initial preparation for Alabama which is still two weeks out at that point.
On the challenges of facing Nick Saban
I think every coach likes that kind of a challenge. His body of work speaks for itself. We will talk about it more in the media when it is actually right in front of us. I am fortunate enough to go against a bunch of quality coaches, and it's been that way for quite some time. Is it a challenge? Yes, but we look forward to challenges.
On redshirt senior offensive lineman
Mark Glowinski
I think that has something to do with the position he is playing too. We are going to redshirt (junior offensive lineman)
Sylvester Townes
and here is why. Offensive line is the hardest position to play. It is the most challenging position to play. Glowinski coming in, there was plenty of days where we had our Sunday night football, and I looked at him thinking, boy, did we make a mistake here. There were times where he couldn't play more than two or three plays in a row and was breathing hard, struggling and did not look good. Going into his junior year, you could see the improvements that he made. Going into his senior year, he is as good as an offensive guard as I seen him. He looks great. He is a great kid. He is a great leader and great academically. He is exactly what you want, but he just wasn't quite ready, and I think that has everything to do with what the actual position is. I think Dale (Wolfley) in the back can attest to that. Offensive line is pretty tough. He needed that year, and I would imagine a year from now when we talk about
Sylvester Townes
it will be the same thing. Can't afford to do that in other positions. (Redshirt junior offensive lineman)
Stone Underwood
is a good example of that. He wasn't ready a year ago, but coming into his redshirt junior year, he is a guy that can contribute.

According to the results of a 2007 University of Cincinnati study, 78% of women reported that they are the ones taking time off from work to stay home with an ill child versus only 28 percent of men whom indicated that they are just as likely to do so.
In a survey by Pew of two-parent working families, 83% of respondents indicated that the woman's job was more flexible about scheduling time off.
Who stays home in your house when a kid is sick?
Debate: Do you think mens' jobs are actually less flexible by nature of industry, or is this simply an issue of employers not expecting men to have to make allowances for having a family?
My take is that it is primarily the latter. Despite my DH (dear husband) always saying that his work is less flexible, I have held firm to the idea that we alternate days off for pediatrician appts, sick kids, and other family needs. It's been hard to do this, because I don't want him to catch flack at work, but I don't know how else things will change to be more 50/50 or how employers will start to realize that men have families too.
