Don't forget that there was a good deal of uncertainty about what's
going with SPSS when IBM bought it (was it 2008? 2009?), and it was
renamed PASW at some point, etc.
Do citations of the Stata Journal show a similar pattern? Not sure if
other packages have their dedicated journals, although you one can
arguably view Journal of Statistical Software as the mostly R outlet.

Paramedic Recounts Events on the Day Michael Jackson Died
LOS ANGELES– At the manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson's personal physician, Conrad Murray, paramedic Richard Senneff recounted the events after he arrived at Jackson's home on the day the King of Pop died.
He recalled how he thought "The information I'm receiving from Dr. Murray doesn't make sense," he testified in a courtroom here today.
In a morning of testimony, Senneff said that Jackson was already dead when the emergency response crew arrived, and that Dr. Murray complicated the effort to resuscitate the singer by inaccurately reporting Jackson's health condition, and the medicines Jackson had taken that morning.

THE WARDENS - Imperian Online Help
We are the knights of the road. We are the vagabond kings. Where falls a leaf there falls our footstep. Where is cast a shadow, there we have rested in the shade. A Warden is a wanderer, a wayfarer. He is an explorer, a sojourner. Fiercely proud and loyal to his brothers, he is a member of a fraternal order of trackers and rangers. Sunken into the northern reaches of the Ithaqua, the Black Keep houses the scholarship and warrior's skills of the Warden. There they train in the frozen pines, practicing with glaive and bow, with wood and tinder, to hone the art of the woodsman. Magick is forbidden to them, they rely on themselves and on the land, and on each other. The Ithaqua forest has raised them, and they have seen the fires of the land scourge their home, set free from magick's mercurial and unpredictable nature. The Wardens were founded in modern history by Harker, learning the once forgotten skills from the Wendigo, spirit of the Ithaqua. The Wendigo called for aid to the wood, when rifts in the world were freeing demons into the wilds. The Wardens, once a strong force against such beasts, were needed and had been lost. Harker heard the call and answered, and bore an ancient weapon to seal the hellish rifts. Having done so, he was charged with the formation of the Wardens. That is what we ward. The world itself. The Wardens were founded on the 25th day of Halitus, in the year 434 AD.

The One and the Only – Chuck Norris
With beard and roundhouse kick, he bring up the pain! Man, I can't believe how many jokes are made for this B-movie actor. He crushes everything and everyone. There's no famous person that didn't feel the power of his roundhouse kick ! : ) I've made a little gallery of his caricatures and made the list of my favorite jokes. So, enjoy… until Chuck find out about this post ;)
1. Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris.
2. Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
3. Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.
4. Chuck Norris doesn't breathe, he holds air hostage.
5. When Chuck Norris crosses the street, the cars have to look both ways.
6. Bullets dodge Chuck Norris.
7. If scientists cloned Chuck Norris, the possibility of their roundhouse kicks contacting would destroy the universe.
8. There are aliens but they are waiting for Chuck Norris to die before they invade.
9. Chuck Norris was once having sex in a tractor/trailer when some of his sperm escaped into the engine. You may now know this truck as Optimus Prime.
10. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
11. Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
12. Chuck Norris counted to infinity – twice.
13. The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
…and, finally… in fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.

ONE of Thurrock's most prominent landmarks is to undergo a £250,000 restoration.
The cupola, the ornate dome which sits atop the 84-year-old London Cruise Terminal at the Port of Tilbury has been taken down so it can be renovated as part of a project being funded by the Port of Tilbury.
The dome's steel and brickwork will be replaced with many of the materials being custom built. Much of the steel frame has corroded and the expansion of the metal over the years has been placing pressure on the brickwork.
Haydn Evans Consulting and J.W. Steele & Sons Ltd are carrying out the work which will last 14-weeks.
Jonathan Catton, Thurrock's Heritage and Museum Officer said: "The cupola on top of the London Cruise Terminal is an extremely important piece of architectural history for Thurrock and the surrounding area.
"Many a historical event has taken place at the Terminal since its opening in 1930 by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and we are very grateful to the Port of Tilbury for investing such a great deal in restoring it."
Perry Glading, Chief Operating Officer for Forth Ports Limited, owners of the London Cruise Terminal said: "It is of utmost importance for us to maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic façade of the cupola, which has sat proudly on top of our baggage hall at the Cruise Terminal for many years. We believe that it is entirely worthwhile investing in such a distinctive landmark which truly shapes the skyline of the Thames."
In its 84-year lifetime, the iconic Cruise Terminal has hosted George Orwell, the Queen and Cliff Richard. The first 500 Carribean immigrants to arrive in the UK on the Empire Windrush also passed through the terminal.

Flames NewsFlames Home > Football Home > News
Flames Feature -- Family Fuels Rojas' Fire to Succeed
Family is a very important word to redshirt senior inside linebacker Manny Rojas. It is a word that led the young man from Oakdale, Pa. to Liberty Mountain four years ago.
When Lillian Rojas passed away a week after her grandson Manny helped West Allegheny to the Pennsylvania AAA state title, the young man saw that he had to make some changes in his life. Rojas chose the Flames football program over a variety of different alternatives and is happy he did. "I am glad I came to Liberty," said Rojas. "If I didn't, I would be in a lot of trouble."
The Flames faithful are very happy about that decision as well. Coming into his final year, Rojas brings 272 career tackles, needing just 37 more to become the Big South's all-time leader in that category. Humility runs deep in Rojas who looks at the feat as "No big deal … I am more concerned with the team winning than me getting my tackles." It is words spoken like this that reflects why Rojas was chosen as a team captain by head coach Danny Rocco.
Rojas had a dynamite year for the Flames a year ago with a career-high 102 tackles including 12.0 tackles for a loss which ranked 53rd nationally in the statistical category. Rojas finished the season with four-straight games of at least 10 tackles, including 10 against 14th-ranked Coastal Carolina, a game which the Flames dropped in triple overtime, 27-21, at Williams Stadium.
Despite being on the verge of the Big South career tackle record and finishing in the upper echelon in the nation in tackles per game, Rojas earned only second-team all-conference honors last season. Rojas has been honored on some preseason lists, including a Big South preseason all-conference distinction this year. He was also named to the I-AA.org Big South preseason first-team all-conference squad.
Accolades and accomplishments aside, it all comes back to the core of Rojas and that is family. Liberty University and the Flames Football program have become an extended family to Rojas in which he has found camaraderie within a group of guys who are a part of something bigger then themselves.
Rojas looks back on his four years at Liberty with appreciation. One on-the-field memory that Rojas remembers with fondness came during his redshirt freshman year just after he helped the defense get the ball back for the offense. As Rojas was running off the field with then teammate Seth Reichart, the two joked that the next time they were out there, Rojas would strip the ball and Reichart would pick it up and run it back for a touchdown.
The next play on defense the ball hit the ground and "Seth picked it up and started going, but got tripped up…We got real excited because we actually thought he was going to do it," Rojas said with a smile. "Just playing with all the guys from the past was great … I still keep in touch with many of them," added Rojas.
Part of being a "man" is when others look to you for leadership regardless of whether you want to lead or not. There is a responsibility to take up that task. Coach Rocco has looked to Rojas to do exactly that by naming him one of the team's captains. Rojas has taken that responsibility and flown with it. "I go out there and take it up to another level even if I am sore or hurting so that my teammates can see that and do the same," stated Rojas. "That's the way we are going to be a more successful team."
This December, Rojas will earn his bachelor's degree in advertising. His one wish is to work with the Secret Service in Washington D.C., where he already has submitted an application. If that avenue does not work out, he already has an internship set up at Clear Channel Radio next spring and the opportunity has the potential to become a full time position at the conclusion of the spring.
In the meantime there is one objective that Rojas states about the upcoming 2006 Liberty Flames football season and that is to "win the Big South." This year's defensive scheme will benefit Rojas as Rocco has changed from a 4-3 defensive set to a 3-4, creating better opportunities for the linebacker core.
"The offense is going to put some points on the board," said Rojas. "Everyone has done a phenomenal job in camp. The O-line is coming off the ball hard this year, Rashad Jennings is running hard … Our wide receivers are catching almost everything that is being thrown to them," added Rojas. With that in mind it looks to be an exciting year all around on the Mountain.
However, the circle in Manny Rojas' life always returns to family. Just weeks ago his father, Manny, Sr., suffered a massive heart attack and looks like he will have to miss his son's first game of the 2006 season against St. Paul's. "He is doing well, but they put one stint in and have to put another one in the artery on August 24 so he most likely not make it to the game," said Rojas. "He is madder than a pit bull that he won't be there." Rojas added that "seeing him go through that and not knowing if he is going to be around makes me work that much harder for him."
Despite coming off a 1-10 season there is a new coach and a new attitude that has a fire lit under the Flames football program. Rojas will be at the forefront of that blaze as he looks to help raise the program from the ashes like the mythical bird the Phoenix and place it at the top of not only the Big South Conference but also the country's elite.

Just thought I'd contribute since I didn't see these up here. Some of my favorite eats when I used to live in Santa Monica and rode the canyons daily...These are just a few that I've been to (and have gone back to)...
Malibu Seafood - just north of Malibu Canyon Road (Pepperdine); the perfect lunch spot after your Mulholland Raceway jaunts...GREAT food!! (I'm jonesin' for an Ahi Tuna Burger!)
Nobu Malibu - if you're a sushi connoisseur, there's hardly a place better in Los Angeles...pricey but hey, maybe you'll see a celebrity (I sat at the table next to the Olsen twins on their 18th birthdays)
Reel Inn - pretty good, kinda expensive, but conveniently close to Santa Monica (near Topanga Canyon). The link on Citysearch says there's another location at the 3rd Street Promenade. They CLOSED that location months ago...
Duke's - kick ass Sunday brunch, AWESOME views, right across from Las Flores Canyon Rd (a fun, short, uphill twisty that leads to the Piuma-Schueren-Stunt loop that is off of Mulholland)
others you may wanna try include...
Moonshadows - great views
Gladstone's - food is just ok, convenient to Santa Monica, at intersection of Sunset Blvd. and PCH
Patrick's Roadhouse - never been there, heard it was cool
etc., etc....spend some time on Citysearch site to find exactly what you're looking for.

Securing Network Access with 802.1X, Radius, and LDAP
The Radius protocol is typically used to authenticate users in dial-up scenarios. But Radius is also useful in LAN environments: in combination with 802.1X, Radius forces users to authenticate at a low level before the switch opens up a port.
Attacks from internal networks are dangerous and more difficult to prevent than external attacks. An attacker who plugs in to an internal network with a laptop gains wide-ranging access to network data. One way of preventing an attack is to implement an authentication function in OSI Layer 2 using the 802.1X [1] protocol. An 802.1X-capable switch and a Freeradius server are all you need to implement Layer 2 authentication. Because Layer 2 authentication operates at the level of the local, physical network, it prevents an intruder from even using the physical network without authentication. Radius (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service Protocol) responses from a Linux server typically include the IP address and standard gateway for the user, but the protocol has more potential. You can use a Radius server to assign a VLAN to the user's switch port. This technique avoids the need for a complex router infrastructure, but still restricts the size of the broadcast domain.

Europe, Afghanistan, Britain's nuclear deterrent and pensions were the subjects of quickfire exchanges last night between the three party leaders in the second televised debate of the election campaign.
Nick Clegg, the winner of the first debate last week, sought to maintain his position as an outsider by adopting a distinct position as he voiced opposition to Labour and Tory plans to introduce a like-for-like replacement for Trident. He reminded the audience that the Lib Dems had opposed the "illegal" Iraq war.
David Cameron, who faced criticism for a stilted performance last week, spoke to the camera and used the names of questioners in the audience as he attacked Gordon Brown. At one point he demanded that the prime minister withdraw "lies" in Labour leaflets claiming the Tories would withdraw many pensioners' benefits.
Brown tried to distinguish himself from his opponents, who are both 43, by likening their arguing to his two young sons squabbling in the bath. He depicted Cameron as a threat to the economy because of his plans to cut spending by £6bn this year, and Clegg as a threat to the security of Britain because of his stance on Trident.
Clegg pre-empted Tory criticism that he is soft on Europe by reminding the audience that he worked as an official in the European commission for Lord Brittan, the former Conservative cabinet minister, when he ran the trade brief. "What I learned was that the EU is not perfect. This is a club that took 15 years to define chocolate. But what I also learned was this: there are a whole load of things that we simply can't do on our own."
Cameron said: "What you are hearing from the other two is don't trust the people, don't ask them when you pass powers from Westminster to Brussels, just give in to everything that comes out of Brussels and don't stand up for your country. That is the same old politics."
Clegg challenged Cameron for leaving the main centre-right grouping in Europe to form a new bloc with hard-right parties from eastern Europe. "How on earth does it help anyone in Bristol, or anyone else in the country for that matter, David Cameron, to join together in the EU with a bunch of nutters? Antisemites, people who deny climate change exists, homophobes. Of course we need to change the EU. But you change clubs, of which you are a member, by getting stuck in, not standing on the sidelines complaining."
Brown said his opponents "remind me of my two young boys squabbling at bathtime … I am afraid David is anti-European, Nick is anti-American and both of them are out of touch with reality."
Clegg said he supported the Afghan mission as part of the fight against terrorism. But he said: "If you put soldiers into harm's way, you either do the job properly or don't do it at all."
Brown warned of a "chain of terror" linking al-Qaida across the world. "Every week I get a report of terrorist plots, most of which arise in the Afghanistan-Pakistan area … So, to keep the streets safe in Britain, we have to take on al-Qaida wherever it is. This is a mission that can work."
Cameron said lessons needed to be learned from the "mistakes of the past". "We've got to make sure we plan properly and never send our troops into battle again without the proper equipment and proper helicopters."
The debate came alive when Clegg outlined his opposition to an early decision to commit hundreds of billions to replacing an "old cold-war nuclear missile system" that still has years to run.
Brown said: "I have to deal with these decisions every day and I say to you, Nick, get real, get real. Iran, you're saying, might be able to have a nuclear weapon and you would not take action against them. But you're saying we've got to give up our Trident submarines."
Clegg replied: "This is extraordinary. What is dangerous is to commit to spend a lot of money that we might not have on a system which almost certainly won't help when the world is changing and we're facing new threats."
Cameron said: "I thought I would never utter these words but I agree with Gordon. You cannot put off this decision … You cannot rustle up a nuclear deterrent at the last minute, as the Lib Dems seem to think."
New politics
Clegg showed he still had the touch which won him plaudits last week, when Mary Slattery from Bristol said that the expenses scandal meant her neighbours no longer believed in the power of their vote.
Sky presenter Adam Boulton reminded Clegg that he was on the front of yesterday's Telegraph over his expenses. "I am indeed, for a nonsense story. Let's put that to one side. Complete rubbish. Mary, I think one of the great effects of these debates is that more and more young people are rushing to register to vote."
The questioner blushed as he added: "There are lots of especially young people – I hope I'm not saying anything out of turn by saying you look fairly young – who might be in your position, who have felt for so long turned off by the old party politics. They're now quite excited that we can do something different this time."
Clegg then said that the first-past-the post electoral system, which creates safe seats, was partly to blame for the expenses scandal. This prompted a put-down from Cameron: "I think people are now starting to get angry by some politicians saying my party was much better than all the others. Frankly Nick we all had problems with this, whether it was moats, whether it was politicians claiming on phantom mortgages or whether it was kitchens and cake tins. Don't anyone try and put themselves on a pedestal on this issue."
Brown said: "No one should be standing at this election if they are not transparent and tell you everything about what they are doing with their finances."
The most angry exchanges came when Grace Lane, 84, asked whether it was right that she should have to survive on a state pension of £59 a week. Brown warned of the dangers of voting Conservative when he said there was no commitment on free prescriptions in the Tory manifesto.
Cameron said: "I just think it is disgraceful to try and frighten people in an election campaign, as Gordon Brown has just done and as the Labour party are doing up and down the country … We will keep the free television licence, the pension credit, the winter fuel allowance, the free bus pass.
"Those leaflets from Labour are pure and simple lies. You should not be frightening people in an election campaign."
Clegg said a rise in the age of eligibility for winter fuel payments, from 60 to 65, should be brought forward.
Brown said: "I do seem to be right. David did not mention free eye tests."
Cameron: "Let me do it now. We'll keep them. Let me challenge you. Will you withdraw the leaflets that are going round the country? You really should be ashamed."
Brown: "David, I have not authorised leaflets like that."
Summing up
Brown depicted his opponents as risky. "I would say this evening that David, you are a risk to the economy. Nick, you are a risk because of what you are saying on Iran and nuclear weapons to our security. Nick, you would leave us weak, David, you would leave us isolated in Europe."
Cameron said Britain faced hard times, but could achieve anything if it pulled together and built the "big society".
Clegg said: "We don't simply need to choose from the old choices of the past. We don't need to repeat the mistakes of the past. Don't let anyone tell you that this time it can't be different. It can."

Brisbane family man Chris Adams is about to be even better friends with 30 of his mates from Facebook as they prepare to become multimillionaires, even billionaires.
Six years ago, founder Mark Zuckerberg would rock up in boardshorts and thongs as Adams watched his mates Matt Cohler, one of Facebook's first five staff, and former chief operating officer Owen Van Natta, load up on energy drinks at what was then a mere start-up.
But as Facebook prepares to list in the biggest tech float in history and largest IPO this year, Adams will be home with Australian wife Sharon and son Cooper, 6, as his mates get rich very quickly.
Adams even turned down the chance to be a Facebook staffer after working two years as a consultant on what was then a start-up. "What I loved about working with Zuckerberg was that even back then he knew exactly what he wanted to do," says the now mid-40s American who is still "dearest friends" with Facebook vice-president of partnerships Dan Rose.
"Genius engineers might rock in at four in the afternoon and leave at nine the next morning.
"Facebook had a catered buffet around the clock, sleeping pods and laundry services.
"These guys were going to sleep under their desks, loading themselves up with Red Bull and wearing the same T-shirt for six weeks so you had to make it easy for them."
The number of Facebook shares to be offered and price range have been increased this week amid insatiable demand. The float will value Facebook at up to $US104 billion.
Zuckerberg will make more than $US1 billion from the deal but there is a long list of other past and present employees who will make very substantial sums.
Adams has had a lot of back and forth with Facebook employees through the social network and email recently.
Although he says everybody is "just thrilled", he's quick to point out it's more than the money they're about to come into.
"All of these people took a big risk early on and believed very deeply in what the Facebook ecosystem could become," he says. "They worked tirelessly – this isn't a bunch of guys sitting around playing fussball and drinking coffees – sometimes they were clocking up 20-hour days.
"I asked Zuckerberg what Facebook wanted to be when it grew up and he said: 'I want it to be [Microsoft] Outlook for your life.'
"I was amazed by his maturity, his vision and his obsession with the user experience."
Adams, who now runs a marketing and media company, Beachball Media, has no regrets about not taking up the Facebook job, saying he wished all who cashed in "the best" because they've worked hard and deserve it.
"The money's going to change their lives but the platform has changed the world," Adams says.
Although becoming a staffer might have made him rich, he says he's "relatively unemployable" because he's an entrepreneur.
"I live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world in one of the best countries in the world," he says. "I'm healthy and happy with a beautiful child and have a great experience I'm very proud of.
"I could buy a bigger house [if I had Facebook stock] but my house is fine and I have no regrets.
"I'm just very proud of everybody because they earned it."

Editor's Note: ESPN Insider has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook to provide a comprehensive look at all 119 Division I-A teams. To order the complete 2005 edition of Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook, visit www.blueribbonyearbook.com or call 1-866-805-BALL (2255).
(All information as of July 1, 2005)
It is important to keep Ken Hatfield's record at Rice in perspective.
Three winning seasons in 11 years might not sound like much -- and it wouldn't be at Ohio State, Southern Cal or Texas. But keep in mind that Rice had enjoyed just two winning seasons in the 28 years before Hatfield's arrival. And his winning percentage in Houston of 44.3 percent is the best of any Rice coach since Jess Neely ended his 27-year run in 1966.
Of course, Hatfield proved his credentials as a coach long before he came to Rice in 1994. He built a power at Air Force, winning 18 games in his last two seasons there, then moved on to Arkansas, where he guided the Hogs to two conference championships and seven bowls in seven seasons. He averaged eight wins for four seasons at Clemson before coming to Rice and winning a share of the conference title in the next-to-last year of the Southwest Conference.
Hatfield has had to try and sustain his program at Rice in the changing landscape of conference affiliations. Rice was a fixture in the old Southwest Conference, but when the power teams in that league left to merge with the Big Eight before the 1996 season, Rice was left behind.
The Owls landed in the Western Athletic Conference, just as that league was undergoing convulsions, losing the schools that would become the Mountain West Conference.
This year there will be a new league and, Hatfield hopes, a new start for Rice football in the West Division of Conference USA.
"I think it's a big plus for us," Hatfield said. "If nothing else, it's just that the travel is a lot better. We only play in the East or the Central time zone -- no West Coast trips. We get to play Houston -- which we always play anyway -- as a conference game."
Hatfield is also looking forward to the league's new conference championship game.
"I think it helps that we have a conference championship game, like the Big 12 and the SEC," he said. "Ours is going to be a home game for the team with the best conference record. I think that will add interest -- you're not only playing to qualify but to earn a home-field advantage."
It's not farfetched for Hatfield to dream of being in the Conference USA title game, despite last year's mediocre 3-8 record. At least initially, the strength of the new league appears to be in the East Division. To win the West title, the Owls will have to get past Houston and SMU (two teams Rice beat a year ago), and UTEP (which edged the Owls in overtime in El Paso). Tulsa, which topped the Owls 39-22 a year ago, has to visit Rice Stadium, as does Tulane, a newcomer to the schedule.
So can Rice go from 3-8 to a spot in the Conference USA championship game?
Hatfield certainly thinks it's possible.
"The biggest thing is to play real good on special teams ... not just in one or two areas, but all phases," he said. "That's where we came up short last season. That and get consistent play out of the quarterback position. Defensively, we need to tackle better and eliminate the big plays we gave up."
A year ago, Rice started strong, winning three of its first five games, but lost six in a row to close out the season. This year, it looks like the toughest part of the schedule will be early.
"The schedule opens up at UCLA, Texas in Austin and Navy, coming off one of their best seasons, at home," Hatfield said. "That's three tough non-conference games. That's the way we like to have it. It will get us ready for the conference."
If Rice can survive that start, followed by a pair of road games against Conference USA East Division contenders UAB and East Carolina, then the schedule presents the Owls with five home dates in the final six games -- all against West Division teams that Rice ought to be competitive against.
Given Hatfield's track record, it wouldn't be surprising to see Rice make a splash in its first season in Conference USA.
There has been some speculation that Hatfield may make some changes in his trademark wishbone offense this season.
Not true.
"We're not getting away from it at all," he said. "That's our livelihood. We led the nation in rushing last season. We just need to throw better. We will do a few more things and have a little more variety."
Sophomore Joel Armstrong (5-11, 180) supplanted veteran Greg Henderson late last season, starting five of the last six games. The speedy signal caller was an impressive runner, rushing for 608 yards at an average of 5.3 yards a carry. He was less impressive in the passing game, hitting just 46.4 percent of his 56 attempts for 341 yards and two touchdowns.
But Hatfield is convinced that Armstrong has the arm to be a better thrower.
"He's like a lot of quarterbacks -- he had to earn some things," he said. "We sign our guys to run the ball first. He was more impressive passing the ball this spring."
The Owls spent a lot of time in spring working on the shotgun -- a version of Hatfield's offense that he used extensively in 2001, when Kyle Herm threw for more than 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns for an eight-win team.
"That will help our defense too," Hatfield said. "They got to see a lot of passing game in the spring."
Redshirt freshman Chase Clement (6-1, 185), a celebrated recruit out of San Antonio, shared the job with Armstrong in the spring and is slated to see action this fall.
"Chase had an outstanding spring," Hatfield said. "He ran a 4.4 40 and just missed benching 300 pounds. He can scoot. He'll definitely see some action."
John Shepherd (6-1, 180), an all-state quarterback from El Dorado, Ark., will probably redshirt, but he's next in line if injuries force Hatfield to go three-deep at the position.
The wishbone requires a quality fullback and lots of fleet halfbacks.
Hatfield is not worried about the depth of his talent at the position, but he does have one very big hole to fill.
"We've got a lot of good runners," he said. "But you've got to have a good fullback in our offense and we lost a great one in Ed Bailey. He's one of three backs at Rice to rush for 1,000 yards -- it's unusual for one of our backs to get 1,000 with four to carry it."
Bailey led Rice with 1,021 yards and 12 touchdowns last season.
Junior Andrew Cates (5-11, 220) is in line to replace Bailey, although the junior from Atlanta carried just three times last season. To shore up the position, Hatfield moved senior Joe Don Wood (6-2, 235), who started nine games at tight end last season, back to the position he played in high school.
Sophomore John Wall (5-10, 210) and redshirt freshman Marcus Knox (5-10, 190) will also get looks at the position. There's potential there, but all the candidates together have combined for just 67 career rushing yards.
Halfbacks Marcus Rucker (6-0, 215) and Quinton Smith (5-11, 200) each got more than that last season on just one carry. Rucker, who averaged 7.2 yards a carry, went 86 yards for a touchdown against San Jose State. Smith, who averaged 6.0 yards a carry, added an 80-yard scoring jaunt in the same game.
But they are competing with a number of other players for playing time. In fact, junior Mike Falco (5-11, 220) is probably the Owls' most versatile back. He averaged almost six yards a carry last season, caught seven passes for 163 yards, returned 20 kickoffs for 366 yards and eight punts for 59 more yards.
The most talented halfback on the roster could be senior Thomas Lott (5-7, 180), who is trying to bounce back after an injury plagued junior year. Lott started nine games as a sophomore and rushed for 714 yards, averaging 7.3 yards a carry. That was the second-best average in Division I-A.
But a succession of hamstring and groin injuries limited the Plano, Texas, jet to just 33 carries for 143 yards last season.
"Thomas Lott was hurt all year," Hatfield said. "He never regained his speed enough."
Lott still wasn't full speed last spring, when sophomore Bio Bilaye-Benibo (6-0, 195) and redshirt freshman Tommy Henderson (5-10, 185), who came to Rice as a quarterback and is the younger brother of former starting quarterback Greg Henderson, both turned in impressive performances.
Last season's top two receivers -- Marcus Battle and Ryan Simonak -- are gone, but after watching redshirt freshman Jared Dillard (6-0, 175) shine during the spring, Hatfield feels a lot better about his receiving positions.
"He ended up spring as our best guy," Hatfield said. "He's got a 39-inch vertical leap, he runs well and what I like is the way he competes."
Junior Andy Hall (6-4, 215) brings size and experience to the position. He caught five passes for 73 yards and a touchdown last season.
"Andy Hall is a guy with great hands," Hatfield said. "He made some phenomenal catches for us, like the one he made at Duke [in 2003] on the last play of the game to force overtime."
If Hatfield needs more depth at the position -- and with the wishbone, he rarely plays more than one wide receiver at a time -- sophomore Gary Anderson (6-0, 175), the son of the NFL veteran of the same name, and walk-on senior Nick Aranda (6-0, 195) are available.
With Woods moving to fullback, the tight end job opens up for junior Matt Bolding (6-3, 245) and redshirt freshman Will Moss (6-4, 245) -- two strong, physical specimens who should provide the blocking that Hatfield requires at the position. Moss also has excellent potential as a receiver.
On paper, it looks like Hatfield will have a difficult task replacing three starters off last year's line.
But the Rice coach has a solid group of veterans ready to step in.
"We've got guys who have played," he said. "I just hope they have the endurance and can stay healthy to play all year."
Junior guard Cory Laxon (6-3, 290) and junior tackle Rolf Krueger (6-4, 290) return to anchor the front. Junior David Carter (6-6, 300), who started three games a year ago, will be at the other tackle, while impressive newcomer David Berkin (6-2, 280), a red-shirt freshman from Lake Arthur, La., will open at the other guard.
"David is the only new kid [in the starting lineup]," Hatfield said. "He's one of our hardest workers."
David Perkins (6-3, 275) will start at center for the first time, but he lettered last season as a backup.
Two huge sophomores -- Robby Heos (6-3, 300) and Lute Barber (6-7, 300) -- will provide depth at guard and tackle, respectively.
"The line looks real good," Hatfield said after watching the unit perform in the spring.
He is concerned about keeping his starters healthy.
"Most of the depth there is young," he said. "[The two-deep includes] four redshirt freshman. We signed five offensive linemen. We'll get them all ready to play. I have no qualms about throwing them in."
That could mean playing time for untested players such as red-shirts Nathan Miller (6-3, 285) and Austin Wilkerson (6-1, 275), plus sophomore center Scott Austin (6-3, 265).
Hatfield's linemen are a bit smaller than what is becoming the norm in college football, but that's by design.
"The biggest thing in our system is linemen who can come off the ball," he said. "A lot of teams recruit big guys who sit back, use their hands and pass protect. I like guys who are smaller, can get lower, can get good leverage and can come off the ball."
Brennan Landry (5-9, 185) looked like a standout in the making after his sophomore season in which he hit 34-of-34 extra points and converted six of nine field goals, including a 46-yarder.
But Landry missed five of nine field goal attempts last season and three of 28 extra point attempts. He is now battling sophomore Luke Juist (6-0, 200) for the kicking job.
Juist has a stronger leg -- he handles the team's kickoff duties -- and last year converted on four of seven field goal tries.
But neither kicker made one from 40 yards or longer as they combined to miss all six long-range tries. The job will be up for grabs going into preseason practice.
"We need one of them to be consistent," Hatfield said.
Defensive end John Syptak (6-2, 255) is probably the Owls' best player, a proven pass rusher who earned first-team All-WAC conference honors last season.
"He's really an aggressive player," Hatfield said. "He's got great speed off the ball."
The senior from Bellville, Texas recorded eight sacks last season and 15 tackles for loss. In two seasons as a starter, he's piled up 169 tackles, 12 sacks and 29 tackles for loss.
"We've just got to find another end just like him," Hatfield said.
Hatfield is hoping Courtney Gordon (6-4, 250) emerges as the bookend end to balance Syptiak. The junior from Gladewater, Texas started four games last year and recorded five sacks.
He's battling senior Rob Daniel (6-4, 245), who has recorded 56 career tackles, for the starting job. Red-shirt freshman Dietrich Davis (6-3, 245) was also impressive in the spring and should see action at end.
One inside spot will be anchored by returning starter DeJaun Cooper (6-3, 305). The junior from Sugar Land, Texas had 24 tackles last season, including four tackles for loss.
"He is one of the best we have, Hatfield said. "He started out as a defensive end, but he gained so much weight we decided to move him inside. I'm extremely pleased with him."
Junior Will Wood (6-3, 300), who recorded six tackles in a backup role last season, is slated to start at nose-guard. Sophomore George Chukwu (6-1, 305) is also battling for playing time in the middle, along with sophomore Jonathan Cary (6-3, 285).
Hatfield's system uses just two linebackers and the Owls return four players with starting experience for those two spots.
Hatfield expects a lot from projected starters senior Adam Herrin (6-0, 225) and sophomore Buck Casson (6-1, 215).
"Adam Herron played quarterback in high school and led Celina [Texas] to three state championships," Hatfield said. "He's a great leader. Buck Cassan is a neat guy who really studies the game."
Herron led Rice with 74 tackles last season, including 51 primary hits and seven tackles for loss. Cassan had 35 hits, five tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and an interception.
He actually shared the starting job with junior Omeke Allikor (6-0, 210), who started six games and recorded 40 tackles. Sophomore Jared Gilbert (6-0, 230) started one game and had 14 tackles on the season.
However, the sleeper in the group may be redshirt freshman Vernon James (6-0, 215), a converted defensive lineman that Hatfield calls, "probably our most talented physically."
The off-season proved to be a competition between Hatfield's veteran returnees and three red-shirt freshmen with impressive physical skills.
As it now stands, the veterans are slated to start. Certainly Chad Price (6-0, 205) is going to be the man at Bandit, a hybrid position that's a cross between a strong safety and an outside linebacker. The junior from Bay City, Texas started all 11 games last season and recorded 66 tackles, including five tackles for loss and had two interceptions last season.
And junior Audray Downs (5-9, 185) is set after two seasons as the team's starting free safety. He's coming off a year in which he had 70 tackles and an interception. Junior Matt Ginn (5-9, 180), who started two games last season, appears to have the edge on red-shirt freshman Aubrey White (6-1, 195) at the Rover position.
There's more competition at cornerback, where junior Lance Byrd (5-11, 185) and sophomore Jon Turner (5-9, 185) are trying to move up into starting roles. They are being pushed by redshirt freshman Ja'Corey Shepherd (5-11, 175) and Brandon King (5-9, 175).
Along with Bencil Smith (5-11, 185), they are the future of the Rice secondary.
"They all had great springs," Hatfield said of the three young defensive backs. "They're going to be good players."
Further depth will come from senior cornerback Dustin Haynes (5-10, 190).
Just as Landry slumped last year as a place-kicker, junior Jared Scruggs (6-2, 190) slumped as the Owls' punter.
"Scruggs has a gifted leg," Hatfield noted. "He was fourth in the nation two years ago."
Indeed, the Hutto, Texas product averaged 45.9 yards a punt and was a first-team All-WAC choice as a freshman. But last year, he managed just 37.7 yards a punt and 16 of them were returned for 340 yards, leaving the Owls with a dreadful net average of 31.0 yards a kick.
Juist, who already handles kickoffs and is competing for the place-kicking job, is the team's backup punter.
Ask Hatfield about his special teams and he's blunt.
"We were terrible last year," he said. "The year before, we were as good as we've been with the same people."
He can only hope Scruggs and Landry (or maybe Juist) do the job as kickers. He's planning to use his depth at linebacker to shore up his coverage teams.
Rice has a lot of options when it comes to returns, Both Falco (eight punt returns for 59 yards) and Byrd (12 punt returns for 98 yards) did a solid job returning punts last season. Falco and Downs combined to return 38 kickoffs for 803 yards. Plus, Hatfield is thinking of trying out some of his speedy young defensive backs on kickoff returns.
One area is solid -- long snapper Drew Clardy (6-6, 280) is excellent.
"He's a big kid who zips it back there," Hatfield said.

I won't bore you with the definition, as I expect most of you already know it. At least I hope so.
What's interesting about this one is its roots. It's not originally closely connected with math. It actually comes from the shipping world and first meant the losses incurred due to damage in transit.
I haven't looked it up, but I suspect that it is also related to the Russian word for accident, avariya.

A very interesting comment, Slava. Between losses incurred due to damage in transit (of which I was unaware), and mathematical average, the word meant a statement of medical estimate. I suspect the present common use of average does not take the precision required of a mathematical definition. "The average person" is not an easily quantifiable concept, whereas "the average height of men" is at least theoretically quantifiable.
It is dark at night, but the Sun will come up and then we can see.

Travis Jones presented with Governor General's Academic Medal
Walking through the main doors at Ascension Collegiate in Bay Roberts, the Governor General's Academic Medal was the furthest thing from the mind of graduate Travis Jones.
It was not until Jones saw the program for Ascension's annual awards night did he find out that he had finished top of his class.
"It was a surprise," said Jones. "I didn't know that was going to happen."
The Governor General's award is considered by many as the most prestigious award given to a student in Canadian schools.
Jones, who is 18-years-old, is the son of Russell and Norma Jones of Bishop's Cove. Currently, he is a student at Memorial University, completing his first-year studies in engineering.
Jones hopes to pursue a career in mechanical engineering.
As Jones was accepting his award, an unusual thing happened. When he crossed the stage to receive the Ivimey-Moores Shield as the student with the highest average in Level III, Jones was met by principal Daniel Grimes. He and Grimes appeared to be wrestling for the plaque as Jones accepted the shield.
In total, Jones left the night with $4,800 in scholarships.
At the end of the night, Ascension had given out more than $80,000 in scholarships, with some $14,000 coming internally.
The Lions Club in Bay Roberts gave out a total of $1,000 to the top-10 students in both Level I and Level II.
The money will be shared amongst the following: Joshua Thomas (Level I), Emily J. Peddle (Level I), Rebecca Shephard (Level I), Martina Taylor (Level I), Matthew French (Level I), Courtney Piercey (Level I), Whitney Sheppard (Level I), Matthew Lane (Level I), Amy Bishop (Level I), Emily D.K. Peddle (Level I), Danielle St. Croix (Level II), Katie Power (Level II), Jennifer Tarrant (Level II), Amy Barrett (Level II), Matthew Sheppard (Level II), Katie Cranford (Level II), Michael Kennedy (Level II), Rebecca French (Level II), Kristen Downey (Level II) and Douglas Akerman (Level II).

JERUSALEM (Aug. 31)
Three hundred top level leaders of American Jewry, participating in the United Jewish Appeal's 1977 Prime Minister's Mission, were engaged today in a heavy schedule of in-depth briefings and field trips around Israel, preliminary to launching the 1977 UJA campaign. The group, which arrived here yesterday, is headed by Frank Lautenberg, general chairman of the UJA, and Irving Bernstein, executive vice-chairman. It is, according to UJA circles here, the largest and most important Prime Minister's Mission to date.
The participants include the men and women who set the pace for UJA campaigns in the United States and Canada, not only by the size of their individual gifts but by carrying the message of Israel's needs to Jewish communities throughout North America. All were invited personally by Premier Yitzhak Rabin to take part in the three-day mission. They are the vanguard of more than 4000 American Jews who will come to Jerusalem in October to attend the first UJA national conference to be held in Israel.
The mission members were received at an Air Force base yesterday morning by Chief of Staff Gen. Mordechai Gur. Last night they attended a dinner at the Jerusalem Hilton Hotel where they were welcomed by Yosef Almogi, chairman of the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization Executives. Almogi said that Israel's leaders were thankful for American Jewry's support of Israel. He stressed that the times are difficult, there are many more problems that Israel must face and therefore, "we need more" help.
Following the dinner, the mission visited the Western Wall where a ceremonial service was conducted by the army's chief chaplain, Gen. Mordechai Piron. Early this morning, they boarded planes at Jerusalem's Atarot Airport for a flight to Rosh Pina in Galilee from where they visited the Lebanese border and the "good fence" where Lebanese come for free medical treatment on the Israeli side. Later, the UJA leaders visited a development town. They returned to Jerusalem this afternoon for ceremonies at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial where they were addressed by the Jewish Agency's director general Moshe Rivlin.
Their schedule tomorrow calls for a meeting with Minister of Commerce and Industry Haim Barlev and with the director generals of the ministries of education, finance and welfare. The mission will dine at the Knesset tomorrow night where they will be addressed by Rabin. The dinner will be closed to the press. Before leaving Israel the Americans will have meetings with Defense Minister Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Navon, chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee.
Reminder: There will be no Bulletin dated Sept. 6.
