When I began researching antibiotics in livestock a couple of years ago, a quick Google search was scary. In fact, it still is. Try it – Google "antibiotics livestock" and see what comes up. Several news articles speculating on a link between human antibiotic resistant infections and antibiotic use on farms immediately pop up.
Now Google something else – organic food, CAFO, pesticides in food or GMOs. Can you imagine average Americans searching for those topics, and then reading the links that appear on their screens?
Many of the links are simply someone's opinion, backed up with a little faux science. The news articles in the search results often twist facts and focus on the sensational side of the issue, not the scientific side. These websites and their "faux facts" can be confusing and scary to someone who doesn't know better.
So where should people go for real facts about these issues? Here are a few websites I rely on because they provide scientific information in an easy-to-digest format.
- www.findourcommonground.com – The CommonGround website has a great round-up of USDA & FDA approved facts and information about agriculture.
- www.bestfoodfacts.org – This site has oodles of information about agriculture from a variety of industry experts.
- www.safefruitsandveggies.com – If you have not visited this website, you MUST do it NOW! The Pesticide Residue Calculator is sure to make an impact, in a good way.
What other websites do you know of that provide accurate, easy-to-read information about agriculture? Please comment below to add to the list.

SAINT LEO, Fla. - The Saint Leo baseball program and Head Coach Sean O'Connor have announced that ABCA Hall of Fame coach, and former Kentucky head coach Keith Madison will headline the 2013 'Opening Night with the Lions', which will be held on January 31, 2013 at University Campus.
"Having Coach Madison on our campus is a great honor," Head Coach Sean O'Connor said.
"He is one of the great names in college baseball for his accomplishments on and off the field."
Madison, the winningest coach in the history of Kentucky baseball, walked away from Kentucky in 2003 after 25 seasons and 737 career victories. He coached 85 players who were drafted or signed professional baseball contracts, 17 who eventually reached the major league level. Among those are current major leaguers 2006 Cy Young Award winner, Brandon Webb (Arizona), Joe Blanton (Oakland) and Scott Downs (Toronto).
A native of Brownsville, KY, Madison became UK's 22nd head baseball coach on June 7, 1978, at the young age of 26. When he left, he was the third-winningest coach in SEC history behind legends Ron Polk and Skip Bertman. In 25 seasons Madison certainly left his mark, not only on the Kentucky baseball program but also on the national college baseball scene.
On the national scene, Madison was recognized in 1995 for his knowledge, integrity and passion for college baseball at the American Baseball Coaches Association Convention when his peers elected him the organization's fourth vice-president. He eventually served as the president in 2000. That year, he ran the national convention in Atlanta, drawing the largest turnout in history with over 3,500 in attendance.
Madison has also worked with USA Baseball, serving as the national team's pitching coach during the summer of 1999. Coach Madison was honored in 2005 by being inducted into the inaugural class of the University of Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame. In 2006, he was inducted into the Kentucky High School Baseball Hall of Fame; and in 2007, he joined an elite group of coaches as he was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
After a successful coaching career, Madison spent almost two years working in the University of Kentucky Development Office as a Major Gift Officer. After a brief stint with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Madison became the National Director for Baseball with SCORE International. Through "SCORE" he sends bimonthly motivational and devotional messages to almost 1,000 coaches and also recruits coaches and athletes to join him on short-term baseball/mission trips to the Dominican Republic. In November of 2010, Coach Madison helped to lead 230 coaches, professional baseball players and businessmen on a trip to the Dominican Republic where they conducted free clinics to over 10,000 young Dominican baseball players.
Besides being National Baseball Director of SCORE International, Coach Madison is also on the Board of the American Baseball Coaches' Association, publishes Inside Pitch magazine and serves as a consultant for Baseball Factory. He was awarded the Lefty Gomez Award in January of 2013 for contributions in amateur baseball both in the states and internationally.

Just when you thought bacon couldn't continue its quest toward utter and total world dominance, a restaurant has managed to up the pork ante. Philadelphia's PYT, which we assume has nothing to do with Michael Jackson, has concocted the bacon taco shell. You read that right. It's a taco shell made entirely out of bacon.
To make matters even more decadent, the restaurant packs this bacon taco shell with burger meat, multiple cheeses and an avocado-flavored ranch dressing. They call it the Bacon-Shell Burger Taco. We call it a reason to give up on our New Year's resolutions once and for all.
Their bacon taco shell will only be available for a while longer, so you had better book your trip to Philly as soon as you can. You can go see the Liberty Bell and make a trip out of it.

I see most people nowadays use their mobiles to access the web. Do you think in the next years this phenomena will increase? Please give any statistics or studies you read recently regarding this.
Some stats. Mobile vs desktop: http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_vs_desktop-ww-monthly-201207-201307
On the websites I manage, about 30-35% of all visitors are using mobile devices.
I imagine in different areas of the world it's more, and in other areas it's less. Whether it goes up or down in the future is anyone's guess.
Is mobile browsing something you should consider when building a website? Yes. It isn't going away anytime soon.
I don't call it the future.Because really that is common.As a web developer we need to adapt the latest technology always.
It's likely that, in the near future, there will be more people accessing the web on smaller, portable devices than on the desktop. All trends seem to be pointing in that direction, so it has big implications for how sites are designed and built. Sites that are only usable on a big screen with a broadband connection are becoming less viable.
Definitely this one.
In creating a website nowadays, optimizing it for mobile is already a requirement not just an option.
Do you maintain a web site? Can you look at the logs for the past few years and check your own visits? Our own company logs indicate a growing number of visitors accessing our site via mobile devices.
In the next coming years or future, according to the survey, mobile apps has came up with a new emerging business tools and it is expected that till 2017, at least 25% more mobile user will use this.

Hi! I've just seen such an informative picture which gives an answer to your question about mobile web future. http://content.edgar-online.com/edgar_conv_img/2013/04/15/0001104659-13-029234_G101092BII030.GIF. As the usage of mobile devices is constantly growing – guess that the mobile web shouldn't really lag.
91% of adults have their mobile phone within arm's reach 24/753% of American consumers use their smartphones to access search engines at least once a day
Please see this info-graphic for latest mobile stats
Yes. The MOBILE experience has become an integral part of our daily life. The entire world has gone mobile. People are using mobile applications in their smartphones and tabs or pads for every aspect of their lives. Whether your business is serving the B2B or B2C market mobile apps are now a must-have business strategy for companies across all industries and sectors. By 2015, it is estimated that a whopping $119 billion will be spent via MCommerce, or mobile commerce. <snip/>
in 2013 trends of surfing, purchasing and learning has changed , people like to do this things on mobile and that is very common because now every one has a smartphone and internet enable. Everyone just want everything on their hand. so you can say that mobile web is the future of marketing because if you want to found on mobile search result then you have to adapt mobile marketing. <snip/>
yesbut it is not in the future, It is the present situation,young people are using in internet in mobile regularly. and the web designers also agreed this and they are starting their sites with mobile versions also..
I guess it's not only about youth. Everyone uses smartphones, because it's really convenient.
Of course this is future because now a days every user coming on mobile from laptop and their computertechnology increasing day by day
Thanks everyone.
The discussion has run its course.

SMWC receives grant to enhance outdoor classroom
August 18th, 2011 | SMWC
As society faces increasing environmental challenges, it is more important than ever to prepare students for lives and careers that demand a thorough understanding of mankind's impact on the planet. At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC), students discover imaginative and effective ways to rebuild humanity's relationship with the environment. Now SMWC offers an improved way to enhance these discoveries and share them with the community.
Through a grant from the Wabash Valley Community Foundation, SMWC will expand the educational capabilities of its outdoor classroom. The funding provides for the addition of a shelter to strengthen the College's focus on sustainability, one of the fastest growing educational areas. Completion is scheduled for mid-August.
Building on the College's long tradition of environmental responsibility, SMWC's environmental education initiatives are broadly integrated across many disciplines, though teacher education and with outreach in the local community. The shelter will provide a space for environmental activities for college classes, the community and hundreds of students in the Vigo County School Corporation and across Wabash Valley.
"There is a growing urgency to understand our planet, as our environment and to convey that understanding to our students," said Theresa Boland, SP, assistant professor of education.
"We are grateful to the Foundation for this partnership to help enrich our campus community and the Wabash Valley."
This addition will build upon the success of the current outdoor classroom, which consists of raised garden beds, a circular garden, and a weather station surrounded by perennials and native plants that provide a butterfly habitat.
For more information about the outdoor classroom, contact Theresa Boland, SP, assistant professor of education at (812) 535-5112 or via email at .

On Culinary school: I don't know if this is the same throughout the states but in Los Angeles (where I am from) and Boston (where I live/work now), all of the schools have become factories looking to "turn and burn" their students and take their money. I almost went to school when back home but the rising popularity (due to food network, topchef, etc.) has caused prices to skyrocket. I mean $23,000 for 7 months...Thats more expensive than USC. On top of that, while there are many basics and foundations that can be learned in school, there is so much more that can be learned by just starting from the bottom in a decent kitchen and working your way through the various stations. I have been cooking for about 3 and a half to 4 years and in that time, i have noticed that the culinary grads and externs tend to be the worst employees. Underprepared, unable to translate their education in to performance when service gets full swing, and generally misinformed about the job and lifestyle of a line cook (sorry, even you grads have to be cooks before you become a chef). That's not to say that some great cooks come from school, i just think that what was once a source of talented individuals has become a grab bag of honest aspiring chefs with the stuff, and wannabes who think it looks cool to wear the whites and get culinary tattoos (the secret is prep shirts or "dish dogs" as well call them...they show off the tattoos better ha!)

Mavi Karadeniz TV, February 17, 2009
Adnan Oktar:For example, they said the economic crisis is a small and unimportant thing that will last about six months or one year at the most and will disappear regressively. But I said that is a very large flood, an economic flood. I said that it would last for 7 years. Now the world's most famous and rich people are going bankrupt. Today, in the newspaper headline, the bankruptcy of the richest known person has been announced. Now it's the turn of all factories and banks. They all will go bankrupt. That means the entire capitalist system will collapse. And none of these will be able to escape. Only the Turkish-Islamic Union is like Noah's Ark. With the leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (as), this union will rescue the entire world. Not much time will go by to see what I am saying. 2014 is at the door and you will see it...
Azerbaijan State News Agency Interview, August 14, 2008
Presenter:Is it a benefit for Turkey to be included in the European Union?
Adnan Oktar:To be honest, Turkey is the world's greatest state. I am not exaggerating, it's the greatest state. It will be like this: Turkey will join the European Union as the leader of the (Great) Turkish-Islamic Union. Then Turkey will both supply and strengthen the European Union as well as lifting Russia, relieving Armenia, and solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. That means Turkey is the state, which will rescue the whole world. Turkey is like the insurance of the entire world. Turkey is a very vital state. The whole world will begin to see this within 10, 20 years and Turkey will make the whole world be friends with each other. This is a law of ALLAH Insha'Allah, the destiny is like that Insha'Allah.
Aksam, August 18, 2010
With the agreement at the Turkish-Arabic Business Forum, the expected growth rate is anticipated at 5% in 2010 in the four "border removing" countries and this is exactly five times the Euro Area.

>Cross Training>Cross-Training HR vs. Running HR
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
TRIing to beat the heat!
In running, particularly when you're just starting out, you'll get much more benefit out of running more, than running faster. It's not that quantity over quality -- in running, quantity is quality. You'll see this mantra repeated a lot on this site, but I'll repeat it again:
Running slower allows you to run more (w/o injury)
Running more will allow you to get faster.
2012 Goals
Sub-1:42 for half marathon √ (1:41 at Disney, Jan '12)
Sub-22 for 5k √ (21:51 in Sept '12)
BQ for marathon- FAIL
De-slacking in progress
started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14
Those who try, fail! Those who do what it takes to succeed, succeed!!

Pammy won't talk to me. After an epic tantrum because I'm too lazy to found my own messaging startup that the Zuck or maybe Nadella would have snapped up for a billion or so, she's doubly pissed off because I foolishly joked about Yo at the dinner table.
Yo is an app that's so stupid it makes a gray Rubik's Cube look like a Hawking proof. Apparently, its only function is to send the word "yo" to other idiots with the same app installed. This thing has snagged more than $1 million in actual, no-I'm-not-kidding funding from a cadre of investors who are too ashamed to make their names a matter of public record.

We're all ears! ]
I too was infected by this grand delusion, to the point where I was convinced I could make her laugh with one of the patently hilarious observations the lot of you seem to clamor for on a weekly basis. Instead, she became really quiet and the vein in the side of her neck started throbbing. Then she waited until I was heading for the kitchen, handicapped by dishes in my hands, before she whipped around like cobra on Ritalin and punched me in the hoobles. Now she won't talk to me, and she made me sleep in the garage ... in the car or, more precisely, the trunk.
To top it off, she woke me up in the morning by pulling a few donuts in the driveway.
Apps so stupid they might work
The message from my meaner half is clear: I need to found a stupid startup. Thing is, I can't think of anything stupid enough. What's dumber than Yo?
Washboard could be a contender. This is an app that'll send you quarters on a subscription basis, so you can function in coin-op laundry. If you think I'm joking, get ready to cry. At least unlike Yo, Washboard will help a certain mollusk-minded segment of the population. In terms of sheer dopey uselessness, Yo has it beat hands down.
I could think of something smart ... eventually. Maybe I'll ask you readers to send ideas that I'll then steal, even as I delete the email trail like the geniuses comprising IRS executive management. ("It's absolutely brilliant, Dorfmann. They'll never see through it! I'm promoting you to head congressional liaison.") But smart isn't in right now. Stupid seems all the rage these days.

GRU rates will dip briefly
Published: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
Gainesville Regional Utilities electric rates will decline briefly before they rise.
Late Thursday night, city commissioners voted to cut the fuel charge on electric customers for the last two months of this fiscal year and reduce by $4.4 million the amount in the fund that GRU has built up through that charge over the last few years as a cushion against the looming rate increases from the biomass plant.
That fuel levelization fund was, based on a projection from last summer, expected to reach $21.8 million by the end of this budget year. The most recent projections had it hitting $26.2 million when the budget year ends at the end of September.
The vote Thursday pushed the fund back down to $21.8 million. That will translate to a $12 savings on monthly bills for August and September for a residential customer with 1,000 kilowatt hours of usage.
The move passed 6-1 with Commissioner Thomas Hawkins in dissent.
"For two months we're going to help our customers just a little bit," Mayor Ed Braddy said.
GRU staff said the move likely will not lead to more pronounced rate increases next budget year. Those rates are expected to rise by approximately $10.50 per 1,000 kwh for a residential customer. The rate increase next year is currently uncertain, with City Commission meetings on the GRU budget resuming Monday.
The move to lower rates for the last two months this fiscal year may lead to more substantial rate increases in fiscal years 15 and 16, since the utility will burn through the money in the fund more quickly.
Hawkins said his opposition was based on the fact that the move would "destabilize" rates in the future.
Commissioner Randy Wells voted with the majority while also voicing misgivings whether it was the correct financial decision with "enormous expense" coming in a few months via the biomass plant.
The fund has been a point of contention for the last year since the utility charged customers above its actual fuel costs to build the fund up. There's also uncertainty if GRU staff followed the ordinance governing the fuel charge in building up the levelization fund.
The ordinance stated the fund "shall" be at zero unless the City Commission determines it is in the public interest to build it up. The commission did not have a public discussion on the fund until last summer's budget meetings.
Thursday's vote included a condition that it was in the public interest to have a levelization fund.
Over the last several months, opponents of the biomass contract have routinely pressed to have the utility refund the "overcharge."
On Thursday, Debbie Martinez, who frequently voices concerns about the biomass contract at meetings, said, "you steal from us for three years" and then "you throw us a few crumbs."
Commissioner Susan Bottcher said those who have pushed for a reduction in the fuel levelization fund -- and they sought a far more dramatic decrease than commissioners approved Thursday -- need to take "ownership" of it and any consequences.
"If this is what you want, if this is what you're going to clamor for, then perhaps it's time to own it," Bottcher said.
The vote means the fuel charge of a residential bill will, for two months, drop from $51 per 1,000 kwh to $39. When the new fiscal year starts Oct. 1, that portion of the bill would, under GRU's budget proposal, rise to $71 per 1,000 kwh. That could mean adding some $5 million to the fund again in one month because GRU would be charging customers for the biomass plant costs before the plant is commercially operable.
Commissioner Todd Chase, who requested that the item be put on the agenda, said the move to lower bills for the next two months "is the right thing to do, the right message to send."

Topic: Thoughts about Taxotere after xeloda/gemzar has failed?
This is my first post to this board. My 56-year-old sister was diagnosed in May with unresectable stage 4 intrahepatic cc. It was a bad period leading up to the diagnosis - they found a mass on her liver, did a biopsy, did a PVE, only to go in and open her up in May and say that the cancer had spread to all parts of her liver, and stomach and lymph, and she was therefore inoperable.
She then went on xeloda/gemzar for 6 months and confounded everyone by doing fabulously. The tumors almost disappeared to nothing. She felt great and it was really hard to believe she was sick. Sadly, for the past 3 weeks we've noticed that she is feeling nauseous again and her CEA levels have gone from around 5 or 6 to 6.6 and then 10.3.
She is going to have a PET scan to basically confirm that the cancer is on the move again. Her oncologist is thinking of moving her off xeloda/gemzar and trying taxotere. It sounds like it's not targeted specifically for cc (it's a broad spectrum drug used for cancer of the breast, prostate, etc). It also sounds like it will be much harder to tolerate.
Does this sound like the best next step? It just seems like many of you have been on other things like oxaliplatin or cisplatin or 5 FU b4 moving to something like this. Her oncologist thinks that any type of chemo like xeloda/gemzar will fail which is why he wants to try this other drugs.
My question to the group is - has anyone ever used Taxotere? And also, does this sound like the best next step?
Thanks so much.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
The brain does not have to deteriorate as we grow older. In fact, one recent study shows that new cell growth in the brain occurs in adults, something previously thought not to occur. This growth occurs in the hippocampus which is where memories are stored.
Another recent study shows that brain cells do not die as we age. In fact, when we are senior citizens, we will have the same number of brain cells as when we were teenagers.
Nearly 90% of people will age without any memory impairment caused by diseases or other medical conditions. The decline that most people will experience is due to a reduction in the number of dendrites in the brain, which form the connections between neurons in the brain.
Dendrites deteriorate because of disuse. The good news is that this can be avoided by staying mentally active. Solving brain teasers and playing games is one way to keep mentally fit.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Time Warner Inc. ( TWX), owner of the HBO and TBS networks, reported first-quarter sales that missed analyst expectations as declines at the New York-based media company's film and TV entertainment units, and its publishing segment, offset growth at its networks. Sales were $6.9 billion, short of a $7.1 billion average forecast of 25 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Shares were falling 1.3% in mid-day trading to $59.01. Net income on an adjusted basis for the first three months of the year grew to $720 million, or 75 cents a share, from $583 million, or 59 cents, for the same period a year ago, the company said. Analysts had expected earnings of 74 cents a share.
At Warner Bros., the company benefited from its new dramas Revolution and The Following, as well as HBO's Game of Thrones. Time Inc., publisher of Time, Sports Illustrated and Fortune, reported a 4.7% drop in sales to $737 million. The magazine publisher, which also said it will cut 6% of its workforce, is due to be spun-off into its own publicly traded company in a transaction expected to be completed toward the end of 2013.
For 2013, Time Warner, said in a statement it expects earnings will increase at a rate in the "low double digits" from $3.28 a share in 2012, excluding some items. The company expects to incur $60 million in expenses related to restructuring at Time Inc., its magazine business. Written by Leon Lazaroff in New York

A new documentary "Soul Food Junkies" is stirring up a renewed debate about the merits of traditional, black, Southern fare.
New Jersey filmmaker Byron Hurt explores his father's love of fried, gravy-slathered goodness and worries about how that food might have hurt his dad's health.
Battling 'brown food syndrome'
Tia McDonald calls herself a "rustic, soul food chef" and says her approach is a counterpoint to the classics.
"There's a lot of great tradition out there, that we need to pass on from generation to generation," said McDonald, chef for the Vetri Foundation for Children. "I like to look at food very simply, bring out the best of those flavors. It doesn't have to be this heavy, burdensome food that is doing more harm to our bodies than good."
McDonald said she stays in the lines when she's cooking soul food but uses different colors.
"We suffer from brown food syndrome," she said. "Let's say you have french fries with chicken nuggets, just everything is brown. I was always taught when I was younger: eye-appeal is half the meal."
During a demonstration at Vetri's Alla Spina restaurant kitchen, McDonald prepped Sweet Potatoes Anna to show off a deep green, brown and bright orange. First, she sliced fresh potato on a Japanese mandolin, and then added sage to a sauté pan. After layering the thin potato slices, she cooked them until the edges were caramelized and crispy, the center still soft and sweet.
The potato is familiar; it's the preparation that breaks with tradition. McDonald avoids cooking vegetables to the "point of no return."
"Traditionally it would be mashed, lots of butter and lots of seasoning, maybe a little bit of milk in it, and whipped up," she said.
With affluence came calories
The debate over the merits of soul food sometimes forgets that the true roots of southern black cooking were largely vegetarian, said registered dietitian Lauren Swann, of Bensalem, Bucks County.
Meat was expensive and used sparingly.
"They had to make that last, so they would cut it up and put it in the collard greens. And of course that was tasty," Swann said. "With the freedom and affluence came the ability to buy more of the expensive foods that were also higher in fat and calories."
Today, a soul food meal almost dictates some kind of pork: spare ribs, country ham, a piece of fatback or bacon. For her meal, McDonald used pork loin crusted with fresh parsley and rosemary and trims some, but not all, of the fat.
"This is a way that you can incorporate flavor without having the thought in the back of your mind. 'Is this healthy? Is something my kids can thrive off of?'"
Swann says an embrace of "nouvelle" cuisines — lighter options or vegan soul, often follows a critique of traditional soul food.
"A lot of people recognize — public health experts, people of color, churches have done efforts," Swann said. "We know that we need to work harder at our health not just because of physical size and appearance, but because excess weight and poor eating habits can increase your risk for diabetes and hypertension, which we all know are prevalent among African Americans."
Swann co-authored "The Black Family Dinner Quilt Cookbook" in 1992.
"I've seen this cycle around before," she said.
Traditions old and new
Swann said there will always be criticism of traditional soul food and people who say they don't want to change their traditions.
Byron Hurt tackles both in the new film "Soul Food Junkies."
"The 'junkie' part, I think, is a kind of hip slang expression," Swann said. "And it's attention grabbing if you are trying to promote a movie or book."
In the past, soul food was mostly cooked at home. Chef McDonald said, today, many people only eat a shelf-stable approximation done up in industrial kitchens.
"We have lost that connection from farm to table, which my great grandfather knew," McDonald said. "That you grew tomatoes in the summer, and you made nice tomato salads, and ate what you grew."
For her demonstration, McDonald served a hoppin' John salad. She starts with black-eyed peas, but they are not stewed with salt pork. Her dish is studded with sautéed — still crunchy — celery and onions.
"I remember hearing stories of my great grandfather who was a sharecropper and lived to 93 years old," McDonald said. "And for breakfast every day he ate scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon and grits. Now granted, he worked every day in the fields, so he was exercising every single day of his life, he was working those foods off."
McDonald said she's working to help moms and dads start new traditions to carve out time for a few more from-scratch, family meals.
"So whether it's a pot of overcooked greens or a fresh escarole salad, it's all about this experience and what sticks in your mind," McDonald said. "So a child can grow up saying: We used to make this fantastic salad when I was a kid and it was so delicious and I got to help."

Charge upgraded to murder in ax attack
Updated 1:00 am, Tuesday, November 27, 2012
The charge against a teen accused of killing his father with an ax has been upgraded to murder, according to county records.
Marshall Lee Giles Jr., 19, was jailed Wednesday night for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and admitted to repeatedly hitting his father in the head with an ax, an arrest warrant affidavit said.
The attack was also seen by another family member, according to a police report.
Giles told officers his father "had it coming" for reportedly attacking his mom several years earlier, an arrest warrant affidavit said.
The elder Giles, 41, was on a couch, moaning and bleeding from several large cuts on his head when officers got to his house in the 1900 block of East Crocket Street, according to a police report.
News Channel
His left eye was hanging from the socket, the report said.
Marshall Lee Giles Sr. was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center where he died around 3 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, the arrest warrant affidavit said.
Giles remains in jail and bail has been set at $100,000 for the murder charge.

UF roundup: Florida softball routs Fordham, OSU
Published: Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 11:42 p.m.
KISSIMMEE — No. 1 Florida (19-0) earned a pair of wins at the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic, defeating Fordham 9-2 and Ohio State 9-1 (6 innings) at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
In the opener against the Rams, freshman Delanie Gourley pitched a complete game to improve to 6-0 on the season.
The lefty allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits over seven innings with one walk and eight strikeouts. Sophomore outfielder Kirsti Merritt provided an offensive spark with a pair of two-run home runs, and junior Lauren Haeger slugged a solo bomb. The Gators tallied four extra-base hits in the game, as second baseman Kelsey Stewart added a triple.
UF started quickly out of the gate when Stewart hit a leadoff single. She went first-to-third on Merritt's sacrifice, then scored on Haeger's RBI single to left.
Justine McLean started a three-run fourth inning with a walk, and then scored on Stewart's triple. That set the table again for Merritt, who delivered another home run to put the Gators ahead 6-0.
The Gators iced the win in the seventh. Haeger homered to lead off the frame before outfielder Jessica Damico walked after entering the game in the fifth as a pinch-runner.
Third baseman Stephanie Tofft then homered to right to bring in two runs and produce the final margin in Florida's 9-2 win.
UF earned its second mercy-rule victory of the season against Ohio State in the second game.
Stewart scored the game's first run in the opening frame when junior Bailey Castro was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
The Buckeyes tied the game a 1 on an RBI triple in the second, but Haeger gave the Gators the lead again in the third with a solo home run.
Florida extended its lead in the fifth with six runs. Stewart hit an RBI single before Haeger added a grand slam. Tofft singled later in the frame to score Castro, and Stewart sealed the victory in the sixth with a base hit that plated Munro to give the Gators a 9-1 lead, ending the game via mercy rule.
Women's basketball
Florida plays host to No. 17 Texas A&M on Sunday at 1 p.m. in the final regular-season game for both teams.
Florida seniors Jaterra Bonds & Lily Svete will be honored in a postgame ceremony.

Under the guidance of Lower School Science Teacher, Rick Geismar, and Department Chair, Dr. George Pasquale, The Green Vale School students, parents and faculty gathered on campus to observe and experience the extraordinary event together.
"Family Astronomy Night was a great success. It was a rare opportunity to bring the community together around a real world event. Two telescopes brought the historic Supermoon Eclipse right into our backyards and up close. This was a cross-curricular event and informed many aspects of science being taught across all grade-levels. " Rick Geismar
The strong Science Program at The Green Vale School makes the most of its beautiful campus including our own pond and four science labs under the leadership of five dedicated science teachers. It begins in Early Childhood classes with their settings enriched by a variety of resources that stimulate our youngest children to gain a richer appreciation of their natural world.

text: MICHAEL GORMLEYALBANY, N.Y. (AP) â¿¿ The comptroller's review of state tax revenues shows collections were $170.8 million below expectations in October even before Superstorm Sandy hit New York. That gap is based on estimate revisions made in July. October's revenues were more than $259 million below the initial estimate contained in the state budget that was adopted in April. The storm disrupted businesses for weeks and many could take months recover. That saps state revenue from business and income taxes. Meanwhile, the state's costs in unemployment insurance for 50,000 more workers put out of work by Sandy is rising along with social service costs for victims. Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the overall cost in property and economic loss will be $30 billion from Sandy.

Dejan Kovacevic chat transcript
Dejan Kovacevic: Hello to all from my earthquake-proof basement shelter, and away we go ...
Maddamma: Dejan, you've spent some time with the Pitt football team. What is your overall impression of Coach Graham and his staff and how would you rate their ability to recruit. They got one blue chipper and, I believe, are up to 12 commitments for 2012.
Dejan Kovacevic: Glad you asked, as my Friday column will reflect some of that time spent. The focus is on how Tino Sunseri will handle an entirely new offense. He's got the personality, no question, but is he the right quarterback• ... My impression from the South Side is that these are the loudest coaches I've ever heard. Seriously, they are nonstop, uptempo this, hyper that, and the decibel level beats those trains passing nearby. It's a neat scene, for sure.
BSteel: DK: My problem with Bruce Arians is that there seems to be no orchestration of the offense. You've got to set up plays with plays like a good pool player. The Steeler's play selection is disconnected. So, assuming that this is BA's last year, what are the chances that Mike Tomlin brings in Brad Childress to run the offense• Wasn't Tomlin with him in Minnesota?
Dejan Kovacevic: Will someone please explain to me the relative lack of popularity for an offensive coordinator who has helped his team get to two Super Bowls in four years and who is so beloved by his QB that the QB basically talked him out of retirement• ... I mean, I get that we all notice a bad play call a heck of a lot more than a good one. That's human nature. I do it myself. But results are results. Even the running component went up from 42 to 47 percent last season, as so many — including the owner — had been seeking. What else does he have to do?
Stu: SI.com just released MLB players poll asking which manager they would most like to play for. Tracy came in #13. Hurdle was not on the list. What's your take?
Dejan Kovacevic: I actually helped compile that poll, which is taken back in spring training. That might be why Hurdle didn't register. Means very little. ... Did Tony La Russa finish last• Just curious.
Kyle: I know you are not a big college football fan, but is there any chance you will be heading to Happy Valley for the Alabama game• I admire your work and would really enjoy seeing some Nittany Lions coverage on your part. Thanks for all that you do!
Dejan Kovacevic: I look forward to every day on this job, every assignment. Having the time of my life, and it shows. ... To clarify, I'm not a big fan of how college football decides its champion, to put it kindly. That's turned me off since childhood. But I can enjoy a great college game as much as the next guy, including at the I-AA and lower levels. ... As for Penn State-Tide, we haven't plotted that far ahead.
Mike: It's safe to say Sid will not be in the lineup opening night as of this very moment. That said, Staal looks out of sorts as a second line center (away from TK and Cooke--regardless of what line you call it) and if Crosby isn't a go there is no way he plays center to Geno. With Malkin centering the top line do you think there is a better choice aside from Letestu to center the 2nd line for the time being?
Dejan Kovacevic: Tossing aside Letestu, huh• ... My choice would be Dustin Jeffrey. He's top-six material all the way, and I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention him.
Jeremy: How has Carnell Lake's presence on the coaching staff changed the DB's?
Dejan Kovacevic: We'll see, probably, just by watching Bryant McFadden. I didn't have a chance to get into all this in my piece about the corners last week, but Lake has really taken McFadden under his wing. He's doing, really, a back-to-basics approach on technique. Lake sees the same natural skill set others have seen, but it sounds to me like he also sees a mess in terms of fundamentals.
Patrick: Awhile back , you mentioned J. Harrison as a top Pirate prospect -- looks like a great call, as he has been pretty impressive both times he has been up and playing. Do you think his future with Pirates is limited to the bench?
Dejan Kovacevic: No, actually, I completely blew it with Harrison, Tony Watson and maybe Mike Crotta. Those were all fringe guys for me when I was helping to compile Baseball America's top-30 prospects list, and Harrison barely made my final cut at No. 30. ... Harrison has done well enough in the majors — it's modest, I know — to have deserved better.
rich: I keep seeing and hearing about Donavon Warren but mst people don't have him making the roster• To me he's playing to much not to make it. What are your thoughts?
Dejan Kovacevic: I haven't heard anyone, including Lake, dismiss him in the slightest. If Warren keeps having games like the one the other night — not least of which was being in lockstep with James Harrison for that half-sack — he's going to open eyes. If there's any position on that roster that's more open than it appears, it's corner. Especially with guys still hurt.
BlackandGold: The Steelers have four good QBs, but only keep three. Who will get cut, Charlie or Dennis?
Dejan Kovacevic: Every year for, oh, about a decade now, we throw Charlie Batch out to the curb. And he still somehow not only makes the team but ends up getting playing time. ... Maybe not this year. If all are healthy, Byron Leftwich gives you plenty enough experience.
Tim in Kentucky: Dejan - Gotta think Sid is done. He will get another concussion if he plays again, and it doesn't look like he can medically afford that. Am I missing something?
Dejan Kovacevic: Yes, an actual medical diagnosis. ... Don't mean to be glib, Tim, but fatalistic pronouncements like that aren't worth any more than the pollyanna ones. When you see Crosby in contact drills, get your 87 sweater back out.
Rustyb: Will the Steelers be able to free up enough money next year to sign both Wallace and Polamalu• they are going to cost a bundle.
Dejan Kovacevic: They will, but I'm not wild about going the franchise route with Polamalu. He won't say so — now or ever — but I can't imagine he would be, either. Remember, I talked to Marvin Demoff, Troy's agent, last month, and Demoff said in no uncertain terms that he and his client would be open to talks right away. He didn't say that just to clear his throat.
Josh Croup: With Steve Pearce's recent injury, do you think his time in Pittsburgh is finished?
Dejan Kovacevic: The Pirates were granted an extra option this year because of his injury last year, and there won't be another. That means he'd have to be protected on the 40-man. Someone somewhere else will give Pearce a chance — and maybe even the 400 at-bats he so desperately wants — but yeah, I think he's done here.
Joseph (Point Breeze): Hey DK, thanks for the great reporting of late. In your discussions with Penguins coaches and administration, have they mentioned what line configurations they've been experimenting with in case Sid misses time?
Dejan Kovacevic: I've heard nothing to that effect. No need this early, anyway. Having Jeffrey and now Steve Sullivan in the mix — not to mention Malkin back — gives you a top-six either way. It obviously would be infinitely better with Crosby, but I wouldn't see the need for a sweeping roster adjustment without him.
Pens PP: Alvarez a Sept. callup?
Dejan Kovacevic: It would be outright weird if he wasn't, no matter how he fares these last few games in Indy. How would he benefit from just being shut down?
Hoyle13: Why don't the Pens and their training staff get any criticism over they way treated Sid after the Steckel hit• He should have never been allowed on the ice for the 3rd period against the Caps in the WC let alone play against TB two days later.
Dejan Kovacevic: They don't get criticized for that?
Pens PP: Does Tony Hill stick at RG?
Dejan Kovacevic: Not if Trai Essex has anything to say about it. Or Ramon Foster, for that matter. But I'd have to think the two-newborns-lighter Trai and his experience will have an edge if he does what he should.
Chris: Dejan, big fan of your twitter account. it's perhaps the only reason i bother checking that account. anyways-i commented last week about the possibility of an NBA franchise and you questioned the size of our market (completely agree) and whether if this was even a basketball town (completely disagree). Pitt Basketball over the past ten years has generated much excitement and continually get more love from the press.
Dejan Kovacevic: I've heard other people use Pitt's tremendous basketball program as a barometer for potential NBA interest. You can't do that. For one thing, Pitt has been, well, tremendous. That leads to a large following in any sport, pretty much. For another, Pitt's prices and student sections and all that stuff don't even count as a tin can next to what's needed to support the $20 million salaries of NBA players.
JAL: La Russa finished 8th
Dejan Kovacevic: Not on the ballots I took!
JohnCangelosiIsKing: Dejan: Are you going to be covering PItt Hoops this upcoming season• I'm excited about the team, and the recruits they have coming in next year ( Adams, Robinson) look promising
Dejan Kovacevic: I will be there again this coming season. Had a blast up there last season. And I'm really, really interested to see the New Zealand kid.
Hoyle13: You hardly ever hear anyone talk about letting Sid play after the first hit. Everyone is only concerned about when he is coming back. And I love that you are with the Trib and thanks for all the interaction (blog, articles, Twitter, chats). We love it and keep up the good work.
Dejan Kovacevic: Thanks about all that. I hear that about the trainers/doctors/coaches all the time, maybe 10 times a day from readers. I've written about it, I've talked about it on TV and radio and on Twitter. You want another• OK, here goes: The Penguins and all concerned completely bungled their handling of Crosby, that night at Heinz Field, the days between the Lightning game and by letting him dress for the Lightning game. ... I saw Sid moments after the Winter Classic. I sat in the front chair of the press conference room, asked the first question. He looked right at me with the most uncomfortable glaze. And I remember remarking about that to a fellow reporter when it was done. "Can't believe he came out here." ... If I can see that, the Penguins surely should have.
JHepp: do you think Tangradi would be a good match up with malkin + letestu• that would be a nice physical lineup with a scoring touch.
Dejan Kovacevic: Eric Tangradi needs to make the team. I'm not convinced at all that will happen.
JohninOshkosh: I tend to follow a lot of sportswriters/beat reporters online. I think Pittsburgh has two good ones in you and Jennifer Langosch. I also enjoy Hank Schulman. i truly appreciate the labor it takes to maintain a strong and entertaining online presence. I am curious-who do you enjoy to follow online?
Dejan Kovacevic: Pretty much everybody on the local level. At the national level, I'm an unabashed enormous fan of ESPN's Keith Law. Someone asked Keith the other day: "You're a jerk sometimes. Why?" He wrote back, "Because being a jerk all the time is exhausting."
Spence: Does Crosby situation hinder contract talks next summer?
Dejan Kovacevic: That's incredibly premature, though I had a few readers raise that in light of some of the stuff I covered in the Wednesday column on Sid's communications with the team. Put it this way: Sid, his agent and the Penguins worked together to put out that release last night. That's a good thing. ... I don't mean for us, either. I didn't care in the slightest if that stuff ever became public. I mean for them.
Kyle: Would you rather... go without coffee for a week, or take a hit from James Harrison?
Dejan Kovacevic: Bring it on, 92! ... I see he's lobbying now to get the full 100 rating on Madden 12 in the hitting category. You'd think the EA geeks would listen.
Andy: If Despres is the 5th or 6th best defenseman at the start of the season, does he stay in Pittsburgh and slowly work his way in or does he go where he'll get 20+ minutes of ice time per game?
Dejan Kovacevic: He'll be in Wilkes-Barre to open the season and come up when the Penguins feel he's earned it at the pro level.
Mark: Is it possible Sid and his crew (i.e., family and agents) have some hard feelings about the way the Pens mishandled his situation during and after the Winter Classic• Could that partially explain his unusual silence with Pens' management this summer?
Dejan Kovacevic: I could have engaged in all kinds of speculation in that column the other day, and I chose not to do so. The closest I came to speculation of any kind was with one paragraph that provided a list of possible reasons to give Sid the benefit of the doubt. ... The fact is that we don't know why this lack of communication happened, so I'd rather leave it right there.
Thundercrack: Yes or No: Do you think Ronny Cedeno will be in a Pirate uniform on opening day 2012?
Dejan Kovacevic: No. He's just not a Clint Hurdle kind of player. ... But then, I'm not feeling particularly good about who the Pirates might find in Cedeno's place. Unless, of course, you like the track record of Luis Rivas, Bobby Crosby, Ramon Vazquez, Chris Gomez and ... ah, I could do that all day. ... The job of finding a shortstop is one the Pirates should seriously consider outsourcing.
Jim: Why not trade Dixon• Got to be a few teams interested.
Dejan Kovacevic: That's one solution Dennis would welcome, for sure. But trades in football are rare.
Gary T: Is there any chance will gay gets cut?
Dejan Kovacevic: None. He's still lining up in the first-team nickle.
Pirates Charities: 1. What is your prediction on % increase in PIrates ticket prices for next year?
Dejan Kovacevic: I've never heard anything resembling a figure. If I had to guess — and that's all it is — I'll predict that season-ticket holders will be much, much better off than those waiting to buy single tickets.
Josh: A player that will make a name for himself this year for the Pens
Dejan Kovacevic: Jeffrey.
Big City: Dejan, do you get the sense that McCutchen is really invested in being a part of the future here in Pittsburgh?
Dejan Kovacevic: Yes, no doubt in my mind. But he has a knowledgeable, intelligent agent in Steve Hammond, someone who's not going to take a deal like the ridiculous one Jose Tabata took. That's not to suggest the Pirates are making comparable offers. It's just to suggest it might not happen as quickly with McCutchen.
Gary T: Gay is a good cover corner that is at best a mediocre tackler who has trouble covering the big receiver .........Can his experience be the determining factor Especially when the steelers d backs are asked to keep the play in front Everyone Gay tackles goes any extra 3-4 yds
Dejan Kovacevic: I didn't say he was great. I said he'll make the team.
fish: How about Overbay being reborn in Arizona?
Dejan Kovacevic: Maybe he was asthmatic. Couple more today ...
larry: Do you think Mike Wallace takes that next step this year to being an elite WR?
Dejan Kovacevic: Only if you see him find that added dimension to his game of a) more quick routes and b) more across the middle. Without that, he's going to be an all-or-nothing receiver for a very long time. But he can improve in those areas, I think.
FulltimeJerk: Best memory of the 1991 Stanley Cup final• It was great to see photos of some of the players at the reunion.
Dejan Kovacevic: On a personal level, I remember watching on TV with my dog and, when the Penguins were up by a touchdown after two periods, still sitting there contemplating realistic ways that the North Stars could come back. I kid you not. The whole thing, based on where that franchise had been was just surreal. ... If you mean on ice, I'll go with the great penalty-kill in Game 4. Those of you who remember the original highlights video might recall the narrator calling it "The Dance of Champions." Awesome. Mentioned that to Randy Gilhen at the golf outing the other day.
That's it for this week. The blog lives and breathes around the clock. My Pitt column is tomorrow, and I'll be with the Steelers over the weekend. Thanks to all for participating!

CCC Veterans To Be Honored at Bastrop State Park March 28-29
BASTROP, Texas — Bastrop State Park will host 100 or more former Civilian Conservation Corps members who helped build the foundation of the Texas State Park system back in the 1930s and 1940s. The March 28-29 event commemorates the 75th anniversary of the CCC, started by Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration in 1933 to address joblessness during the Great Depression years.
Most of the young men whose skilled hands worked on soil conservation and forestry projects, and helped build the structures that form the backbone of such outstanding state parks as Caddo Lake, Garner and Indian Lodge have passed on as the 75th anniversary approaches. Those CCC workers who are still alive today are in their 80s and 90s.
Registration begins at 1 p.m. Friday, March 28, in the Bastrop Refectory. The solid rock-and-timber structure is just one of several hallmark CCC-constructed buildings that helps make Bastrop State Park one of only six CCC-built state parks in the nation that have been designated a National Historic Landmark.
The Bastrop celebration will feature a recording of CCCers' oral histories, an antique tool demonstration of how CCC workers shaped rock and timber with hand tools, and skyline rigging demonstrations by members of the American Youthworks Environmental Corps, according to event organizer Janelle Taylor of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. There will be a swearing in of American Youthworks workers during the Friday night dinner program.
A group photo of the CCC veterans has been scheduled to be taken at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. That night's dinner will feature an appearance by actor Michael Harkin, who will portray President Roosevelt and deliver an FDR speech. Harkin will deliver an FDR speech.
TPWD and the Texas Wildlife Foundation are sponsoring the CCC celebration with assistance from a number of other organizations, including the U.S. Forest Service, Austin and Dallas Parks and Recreational departments and the National Park Service. TPWD currently operates 30 CCC-built state parks. All 30 parks will have displays set up and a new traveling exhibit of CCC architecture will be featured at the two-day event.
For more information about the 75th anniversary celebration, contact Janelle Taylor in Austin at (512) 389-4665.

Am I the only one who finds Elton John getting more and more annoying by the day?
First of all — and maybe this is more of an argument with American media than with John — why do I see him referred to as "Sir" Elton so often? I thought we fought a war against the tyranny of a monarchy and as Americans we do not recognize the inequality of those silly titles. The Queen is nothing more than the world's wealthiest welfare recipient. I do not recognize nobility and I'm won't call anyone by a title of inequality.
But here's my real beef:
Two years ago, John was criticizing the LGBT community for pushing for marriage equality rather than civil unions in the Prop 8 debate. Now he's complaining he can't get married.

Brush melted butter on bottom of non-stick medium-size sheet tray and in between every other phyllo sheet. (Be sure to save a little melted butter to brush the top of the rolled filled strudel, so go light when brushing in between layers.)

Place on a greased sheet tray seam side down and brush with remaining butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top and sides of the strudel. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

TPWD Dove Season Framework Gets Commission Approval
AUSTIN, Texas — Changes proposed for the 2009-2010 Texas dove season, including a 70-day season and 15-bird daily bag statewide, received approval from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission.
The season framework change is part of a new adaptive harvest management regulations package developed for the 14 states, including Texas, within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Central Management Unit.
Additionally, the commission approved moving the South Zone dove season opening the Friday nearest Sept. 20, but no earlier than the 17th. This year the season will open Sept. 18 if approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in late June.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department received relatively little input, although overwhelmingly supportive of the changes, during the public comment phase. Less than 100 comments were received via email or through the agency's online public comment survey and 32 comments during nearly two dozen public meetings around the state.
If authorized under federal guidelines, Texas dove season in the North and Central Dove Zones will run from Tuesday, Sept. 1 through Sunday, Oct. 25 and reopen Saturday, Dec. 26 through Sunday, Jan. 9, with a 15-bird bag and not more than two white-tipped doves.
The South Zone dove season will run Sept. 18-Nov. 3, reopening Dec. 26-Jan. 17 with a 15-bird bag and not more than two white-tipped doves. Possession limit is twice the daily bag for all migratory game birds except light geese, which currently does not have a possession limit.
The Special South Texas White-winged Dove Area will open to white-winged dove afternoon-only (noon to sunset) hunting the first two full weekends in September running from Sept. 5-6 and 12-13 and reopen when the regular South Zone season begins on Friday, Sept. 18 through Tuesday, Nov. 3 and again from Saturday, Dec. 26 through Wednesday, Jan. 13. The Special White-winged Dove Area season takes four of the allowable 70 days, so when the regular season opens, this area most close four days earlier than the rest of the South Zone. The daily bag limit is 15 birds, not more than four mourning doves during the first two weekend splits and 2 white-tipped doves. Once the general season opens, the aggregate bag limit will be 15.
The Service is also reviewing a proposal to give TPWD the option to adjust a portion of the boundary of the Special White-winged Dove Area. This change would remove portions of Jim Hogg and Starr counties and also received commission approval.
TPWD is making no changes to other early migratory game bird seasons other than to reflect calendar shifts.
If Texas gets a 16-day September teal season, the dates will be Sept. 12-27, while a nine-day season will run Sept. 19-27.
The season for rail and gallinule is Sept. 12-27 and Oct. 31-Dec. 23; for snipe, Oct. 31-Feb. 14; and for woodcock, Dec. 18-Jan. 31.

The Indianapolis Colts find themselves in a very familiar situation, and will try to claw out of a woeful start the same way they did a year ago.
By hitting the AFC South road.
Just like last season, the Colts (0-2) opened with a loss on the road before losing their home opener. Then they went to Jacksonville and started a five-game winning streak that propelled them to the AFC championship game.
Coming off a 20-7 loss to the Jets in Indianapolis, the Colts visit the Titans on Sunday in Tennessee's home opener hoping history holds as the two-time AFC South champs hit the divisional portion of their schedule.
Andrew Luck may have a league-high five interceptions, but the quarterback has simply dominated this division. The Titans have never beaten him in six tries the past three seasons, not that Luck is taking that streak for granted.
"Every year so much changes in the NFL, and even between games, so much can change," Luck said. "So it's definitely a year-by-year, game-by-game thing."
The Titans (1-1) actually are tied atop the division with Jacksonville in a very surprising turn for a franchise coming off its worst season since 1994 at 2-14. This is the Titans' first chance at Luck with the guy they hope is their franchise quarterback, Marcus Mariota. The rookie already has the most touchdown passes (six) in NFL history in his first two career games, and Mariota leads the NFL with a 129.9 passer rating even after a 28-14 loss at Cleveland last week.
Tennessee linebacker Derrick Morgan said it's awesome to play with a great offense and a great quarterback.
"Marcus gives us an aspect of our team that we didn't have necessarily in the past, and he's doing a great job," Morgan said. "He showed some real courage (last week) just battling through, getting hit, getting sacked and getting back up. (I) have a lot of respect for him."

Are You Too Needy? A Quiz From Your Gay Best Friend
When it comes to relationships, do you demand too much – or not enough? As usual, our gay BFF has all the answers.
-Brian Clark
Welcome to my soon-to-be patented Neediness Quiz. For people who are in a relationship, or want to be in one, it may be the most important test you'll ever take. It's certainly more important than any LSAT or GRE, or even a BMI (Body Mass Index, for those of you blessed with good genes or a fast metabolism).
For most mature adults, neediness is a huge turn-off. When someone (yes, even me) makes constant demands or acts hurt or upset all the time, it creates a sense of obligation in their partner (yuck!), feelings of frustration ("No matter what I do, she's never happy!") and makes the needy person seem desperate, which is never hot (unless, of course, it's in a Madonna-"Burning Up"-and-rolling- around-on-the-pavement kind of way).
Take it from me, neediness is not the vibe any self-respecting gal wants to give off. How needy are you, really? To find out, answer the following ten questions and calculate your score. Don't cheat– I'll be watching!
1. Dating is…
a) for the weak.
b) like a migraine.
c) something that requires a constant supply of new clothes.
d) all I ever talk about.
e) a career path.
Read 5 First-Time Sex Tips – from Your Gay Best Friend
2. After a third date I expect the guy to…
a) call, or not.
b) disappoint me like all the rest.
c) start calling me by some cute nickname.
d) make me waffles.
e) marry me and whisk me off to his castle.
