text: The meal plans for the 2017-18 academic year are among the most flexible in the nation. They allow you, the customer, to decide where, when, and how often you want to eat. The meal plans are based on a declining dollars system, and were designed according to student input. Purchase a particular plan, and each time you eat in an on-campus dining outlet, an amount is deducted from your balance. In the a la carte options, the exact amount you spend will be deducted from your meal plan. The plans feature a specified dollar amount that can be carried over from semester-to-semester, as long as a dining contract is in place. For example, if you have the Gold meal plan, you will be able to transfer up to $280 unused meal plan dollars from fall to spring, or spring to summer, or spring to fall - whichever is the next semester for which you have a dining plan contract. For questions about meal plans, please visit the Meal Plan Office located in 301 Student Union, call (405) 744-4920 or email email@example.com. To see additional meal plan information, click here. Meal Plan Office Hours: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday-Friday 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR MEAL PLANS Click on image for larger version

Prayer activate the immune system
A new study shows that Cure rates of the disease in patients attending the performance of prayer is faster than others who dont, Where drown their hearts faith, optimism, and psychological and spiritual comfort and reassurance, Which leads to activation of the immune system and increases the body's resistance. Scientists believe that prayer and its movements represent a natural cure for aging cases in which some is infected with erosion of cartilage and stiffness in the joints and its treatment depends mainly on sports. Allah says And those who guard their Salat (prayers) well[Sûrat Al-Maârijverse 34]

Extended Interview with Frodie – Local Music Spotlight
Frodie has spent the last few years putting local MC's on the map with the help of his record label Wapikiya Records. Now the producer, rhyme slayer, and beat maker is stepping into the spotlight with his own album finally dropping Valentine's Day on iTunes.
Here, with the title track of his anticipated CD "Petals of a Rose" is the rest of the interview you didn't hear on the air, along with a bonus cut you won't find until the album drops.

Recently, I've decided to play alto sax in my school marching band next semester. There is a school saxophone that I can play so that I don't have to purchase one, but it has a strange odour, and I'm not sure if it is benign or not. It smells sort of like metal, but not exactly, and it is very powerful. I asked my director what to do about it, but he isn't an expert on it and didn't want to tell me something wrong.
Help? I need to learn to play, and I don't want to play it if it is potentially harmful to me.

William Clark Gable was an American film actor. Though arguably best known for his role as Rhett Butler in the 1939 epic Gone with the Wind, Gable starred in a number of well-known films, among them It Happened One Night, Manhattan Melodrama, Mutiny on the Bounty, and The Misfits.
His performance in Gone with the Wind earned him his third nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor; he was also nominated for Mutiny on the Bounty and won for It Happened One Night.
Gable appeared opposite some of the most popular actresses of the time. Joan Crawford, who was his favorite actress to work with, was partnered with Gable in eight films, Myrna Loy worked with him seven times, and he was paired with Jean Harlow in six productions. He also starred with Lana Turner in four features, and with Norma Shearer and Ava Gardner in three each. Gable's final film, The Misfits, paired him with Marilyn Monroe.
It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you've fallen in love with.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs made the morning show rounds today, appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America," NBC's "Today" show, CBS' "Early Show," MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Fox News' "Fox and Friends," and CNN's "American Morning."
The appearances come in advance of President Obama's Oval Office address at 8 p.m. tonight, which will focus on the Gulf Coast oil spill.
"We are going to outline tonight…someone that will be in charge of a recovery plan," Gibbs said on "Good Morning America."
He also said that most of the spilling oil should be captured by the end of June. "If it's capturing 50,000 barrels by the end of the month, that's 90 plus percent, right?" asked "GMA" host George Stephanopoulos.
"Absolutely," replied Gibbs.
On the "Today" show, host Matt Lauer asked Gibbs if the president's recent trips to the Gulf Coast and tonight's Oval Office address are "a little bit of theater." Remember it was Lauer who got Obama to say the "a-word" in a recent interview. Watch Gibbs' response after the jump.

Recently, Health Care REIT, Inc. (HCN - Free Report) announced the closure of its public offering of common stock. This real estate investment trust (REIT) priced the equity offering of 23 million common shares at $73.50 per share, including 3 million shares sold to underwriters to cover the over-allotments.
Health Care REIT generated gross proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion from the offering. The company, in particular, plans to utilize this sum to pay off its outstanding debts and advances under the unsecured lines of credit. It also intends to employ it for other corporate purposes such as investing in healthcare real estate and seniors housing assets.
A consortium of banking giants – including Wells Fargo Securities of Wells Fargo & Company (WFC - Free Report) , Deutsche Bank Securities, UBS Investment Bank of UBS AG (UBS - Free Report) , Barclays, RBC Capital Markets, Citigroup, Inc. (C - Free Report) and J.P. Morgan – acted as joint book-running managers for the public offering.
Though this public offering will result in share dilution for Health Care REIT, the payment of debt is encouraging as it would reduce interest expenses. Moreover, strategic investments will help the company to enhance its portfolio quality, which in turn will be accretive to its earnings going forward.
Earlier this month, Health Care REIT reported first-quarter 2013 normalized FFO of 91 cents per share, a cent ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate and up 4 cents year over year. The increase in year-over-year FFO per share was primarily attributable to better-than-expected revenue growth. As of Mar 31, 2013, Health Care REIT had cash and cash equivalents of $269.8 million, down from $469.2 million in the prior-year quarter end.
Health Care REIT currently holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Here is a wonderful review by Deborah Adams…
Take out your number 2 pencil. You are about to be amazed. Yes, I'm talking to you people who can't draw a recognizable stick figure. I used to be just like you – I wouldn't even doodle because I was so ashamed of my pathetic renderings. When I received Mark Kistler's You Can Draw in 30 Days for review, I considered it a dare that I would certainly win. I distinctly recall saying, "We'll just see about that." I was not impressed by the press release that claims Kistler's students have gone on to design the International Space Station and work on animated films such as Shrek and The Incredibles. Those people obviously had natural artistic talent. So what if they took a course from this author? I am drawing-impaired from the word 'go,' and there is no way I'll ever produce more than a lumpy, misshapen circle. Kistler's friendly writing style lured me in, however. I reluctantly drew the Before pictures – a house, a plane, a bagel -then turned the page to see what Lesson 1 involved. It was so clearly beyond my ability that I almost stopped there, but pure stubbornness drove me to give it a go. It wasn't easy. I couldn't figure out how to hold the pencil, even though I constantly have some sort of writing implement in my hand and have been capable of using one for writing words for many years now. The paper felt funny. I broke into a sweat. Despite all that, I managed to produce some very nice spheres in only a few minutes. Kistler's lessons build upon each other, and explain in simple terms how to use size, placement, and overlapping to create realistic-looking objects; how to use foreshortening to create illusion; and how to use a simple horizontal line to give depth to a drawing. You can probably skip all that and just follow the simple step-by-step visual instructions, but honestly – the terms aren't that hard to understand. Each of the 30 lessons has a bonus challenge, too, and I wound up doing them all with a fair amount of competence. Kistler is surely aware of just how embarrassing art lessons are for the majority of us, because he has wisely included work done by his students with each lesson, including some of their Before attempts, making me feel more comfortable about my own efforts. By Day 5, I was looking forward to my daily lesson. By Day 7, I'd started sketching coffee cups and bowls, tables and desks, and just about anything else that caught my eye. What's more, I was able to look at those things and identify what I was seeing: foreshortened view, two point perspective, and textures. Am I serious competition for Van Gogh? Nope, not yet. Can I draw one heck of a waving banner or delicate lily? You're darned right I can. And I'm convinced that You Can Draw in 30 Days, too. © Deborah Adams, 2011, Curled Up with a Good Book

Q&A > network programming > How do I telnet into a machine and then to a third one? - Answer contributed by loosifer
Use Expect.pm or expect (the separate binary). Either should work for your purposes. Expect (the binary) is a strange language to use, so you might as well use Expect.pm if it will do everything you want.
As I recall, it works fine for telnet, but it can have problems with SSH. I have used it for doing nested telnets, and once you get past the initial barrier of how it works, it's pretty easy to use.

[WAKE FOREST-VIRGINIA] Wake Forest coach Tony da Luz's move to
have Riley Ridgik take corner kicks for the first time this season paid off in a big way as the No. 6 Demon Deacons scored twice off corner kicks and downed No.
7 Virginia, 2-0, Sunday afternoon at Spry Stadium. Wake Forest (11-1-1) remained undefeated for the ACC season (4-0-1) and is off to the best conference start ever.
The Deacs struck first in the 22nd minute when Ridgik's corner found Ally Berry at the back post, and the junior midfielder headed the ball past Virginia goalkeeper Chantel Jones.
On the second goal in the 63rd minute, Jones saved the first headed attempt by Caralee Keppler, but Jackie Logue was there to put away the rebound to make it 2-0.
"We worked on our corner kicks after Virginia Tech because we were woeful [on them]." said da Luz. "We tried Riley [in practice] and she was super consistent, so we gave her a shot and she did a great job."
Goalie Aubrey Bledsoe came up with several outstanding saves to earn her eighth shutout of the season, tied for the second-most in a season in school history.
"It was a frustrating game for us today," said Virginia coach Steve Swanson. "I thought we created chances but couldn't take advantage of them. The way they scored their goals, both off corners, was disappointing. We didn't take advantage of an opportunity today, but we have plenty more opportunities coming up. We need to take the lessons of this game and use them to improve, and I am confident that we can."
The Cavaliers fall to 8-3-2 overall (2-2-1 ACC) with the loss.

ATWEC Technologies Product Sales Surge in Florida
Palm Beach County Schools Purchase Kiddie Voice™ Systems
Feb 23, 2012, 10:13 ET from ATWEC Technologies, Inc.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ATWEC Technologies, Inc. (OTC Markets: ATWT), a US-based child safety company, today announced that it has experienced a sharp sales increase in Florida, selling its Kiddie Voice™ safety systems to daycare centers located in Palm Beach County, for their buses and daycare vehicles.
In August 2011, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners approved a new requirement for child safety alarm devices in vehicles used by child care centers. The deadline for meeting this requirement is September 1, 2012, but the County is encouraging schools to install the devices by April 1 in order to receive a reimbursement of $150 per vehicle, paid by the Children's Services Council.
The Company's Kiddie Voice™ system is unique and patented, and provides a total solution for child safety. The unit, retailing at $289 per unit, specifically meets all specifications laid out by the new rule, and as a result, the Company has seen a spike in sales, filling orders ranging from 3 to 30 units or more at various schools and centers in the Palm Beach region.
Alex T. Wiley, President & CEO of ATWEC Technologies, stated, "We have been preparing for these installs in Palm Beach County since the rule was implemented last August. Although we have received serious interest and inquiries, schools are now rushing to purchase the system in order to qualify for the large rebate. We are making unit sales every day, and our reps are personally meeting with and selling to numerous schools and daycare centers during the months of February and March. ATWEC's revenues continue to grow month by month as awareness for child safety builds."
There are an estimated 423 daycare centers located in Palm Beach County. Details about ATWEC and its Kiddie Systems™ safety products can be found on the Company's website home page, www.atwec.com.

U.S.-based drug companies, in an effort to prevent Canadian pharmacies from selling brand-name drugs to U.S. consumers at cheaper Canadian prices, have raised the prices they charge for their medications in Canada, The New York Times reports. Canadian laws put price caps on all medications sold in the country, and most drugs sell in Canada for a fraction of their U.S. price. Because of the lower prices, many U.S. consumers buy their prescription medications from Canadian pharmacies through online services. But Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly, and Bayer have all raised the prices on at least some of the products they sell in Canada between 4% and 8% in an effort to make their drugs less appealing to U.S. consumers. AstraZeneca now requires Canadian pharmacies that receive its products to provide written guarantees that the drugs won't be sold outside the country. And officials at Gilead Sciences say they will not sell the company's anti-HIV medication Viread to Canadian pharmacies at all, Canada's National Post reports. The drug is provided by Gilead free of charge to about 1,600 Canadian HIV/AIDS patients who've developed resistance to other anti-HIV medications through a special program. But the company will not make Viread more widely available in Canada due to concerns that it will be resold to U.S. consumers, according to Canadian doctors who met with Gilead officials earlier this year.
Canadian health officials have warned that the country could face severe drug shortages if pharmaceutical companies like Gilead continue to restrict sales of their products to Canadian pharmacies. Jean Jones, former head of the health committee of the Consumers' Association of Canada, also said that there are fears that if Canadian pharmacies continue to sell drugs to Americans, eventually the price of the medications in Canada will be raised to match those charged in the United States. "Drug costs are a major topic of conversation, and there is apprehension that the American interest in buying drugs here may have an impact," he said.

Granted, director David Brooks makes a bold move to even try to direct a film that would have best worked as a short television episode. David (Brian Geraghty), Emily (Alice Eve), and Corey (Josh Peck) decide to ditch the company Christmas party on a cold winter's night to head home, but before they make it to the warm confines of their apartments, they stop at an indoor ATM to get some money out for Corey's late-night pizza craving. Once there, the trio find that they've been blockaded by a large man in a winter parka who stands outside of the ATM's door menacingly, just waiting for them to make their next move.
Initially, this is a cool setup – not very original, but different enough to warrant maybe an episode on a Tales from the Crypt-esque special. And ATM is pretty good about developing its characters, at least at first; David's a driven businessman surrounded by people more successful than he is, while Corey's the kind of douchebag that thinks he's funny even when no one else likes him. The first few scenes of the film find David and Corey talking about women and Christmas parties and losing people's 401(k)'s; Corey might be one of the most annoying characters in the film, but at least he has a personality, and Peck plays it out as though he doesn't realize the rest of the film is unsaveable, even if he puts in some effort.
Emily, however, is a vapid excuse for a character. She's thrown into the mix as the sort of cute, girl-next-door type that we're supposed to believe is too shy to even talk to David. These early romance scenes are excruciatingly corny, the sort of thing that makes you want to vomit all over the television in a fit of rage. Real people are hopefully not like this, and if they are, they probably won't find someone just like them.
But ATM has a difficult time figuring out what normal people would do in any situation. Corey, being the overly-annoying person that he is, decides he wants to stop at an ATM and get pizza. David denies until he can't take it anymore, then gives in. After they're trapped in the ATM, both try to blame the other for the mess that they're in – but in reality, no one is really at fault here, and anyone using half a brain would realize this.
It's not the only strange event, though. Everything about ATM is stretching reality into some blurred distortion that only makes sense because it simply has to or else risk everything. The idea that three people could be goaded into standing in a freezing cold ATM building is somewhat preposterous; against one man, these three people should be able to, at most, scatter enough where even if one gets caught, the other two could come to the rescue. Even if you can get over that hump, though, there are three more bad decisions that the characters make to completely tear you away from the tension.
And even then, that's whatever little tension ATM can dish out. It's not a lot. Watching three people stand around near an ATM machine is about as interesting as it sounds – not very. It would help if these scenes were spaced out by backstory or anything furthering the pointlessness of this isolated moment, but instead Brooks forces the viewer to watch as the three argue, bicker, and figuratively sit with their thumbs up their asses.
This is also what our killer is doing. His presence is meant to be imposing; he's a large guy with a parka standing out in the freezing cold in a wide stance, a shadowy figure that stands between the victims' freedom. Yet it's all incredibly nonsensical to think of this guy as someone who will brave below-zero temperatures just to watch his victims squirm inside a glass cage. What's more, if it's so miserable for us as viewers to watch Corey and David struggle to keep their shit together, then it must be super excruciating to watch it in real life. It just doesn't make any sense, and even when the conclusion tries to sort all of it out with a really, really forced twist, everything kind of feels like a waste of time.
Hell, the killer even pulls out a lawn chair for the last act, like an eskimo kicking back in his igloo for some drama. That's the sort of laziness that runs rampant in ATM – moments of nothingness that never even pretend like the film's going to get any better. When the best part of the movie is Josh Peck acting like an asshole, you know you've got a real dud on your hands. (I'm sorry, Josh Peck, but you can do better than this. Don't let the whole Amanda Bynes fiasco drag you down. Nickelodeon's a good job reference.)
In short, I'm sure there's a lot of people who want to withdraw their investment from ATM. Cue cymbal splash, and mercifully turn this film off.

Spring Has Come
By Oliver Wendell Holmes
Intra Muros.
The sunbeams, lost for half a year,
Slant through my pane their morning rays;
For dry Northwesters cold and clear,
The East blows in its thin blue haze.
And first the snowdrop's bells are seen,
Then close against the sheltering wall
The tulip's horn of dusky green,
The peony's dark unfolding hall.
The golden-chaliced crocus burns;
The long narcissus-blades appear;
The cone-beaked hyacinth returns,
And lights her blue-flamed chandelier.
The willow's whistling lashes, wrung
By the wild winds of gusty March,
With sallow leaflets lightly strung,
Are swaying by the tufted larch.
The elms have robed their slender spray
With full-blown flower and embryo leaf;
Wide o'er the clasping arch of day
Soars like a cloud their hoary chief.
--[See the proud tulip's flaunting cup,
That flames in glory for an hour,--
Behold it withering,--then look up,--
How meek the forest-monarch's flower!--
When wake the violets, Winter dies;
When sprout the elm-buds, Spring is near;
When lilacs blossom, Summer cries,
"Bud, little roses! Spring is here!"]
The windows blush with fresh bouquets,
Cut with the May-dew on their lips
The radish all its bloom displays,
Pink as Aurora's finger-tips.
Nor less the flood of light that showers
On beauty's changed corolla-shades,--
The walks are gay as bridal bowers
With rows of many-petalled maids.
The scarlet shell-fish click and clash
In the blue barrow where they slide;
The horseman, proud of streak and splash,
Creeps homeward from his morning ride.
Here comes the dealer's awkward string,
With neck in rope and tail in knot,--
Rough colts, with careless country-swing,
In lazy walk or slouching trot.--
Wild filly from the mountain-side,
Doomed to the close and chafing thills,
Lend me thy long, untiring stride
To seek with thee thy Western hills!
I hear the whispering voice of Spring,
The thrush's trill, the cat-bird's cry,
Like some poor bird with prisoned wing
That sits and sings, but longs to fly.
Oh for one spot of living green,--
One little spot where leaves can grow,--
To love unblamed, to walk unseen,
To dream above, to sleep below!

The kick that could have crushed Ridgeland-Hardeeville's comeback definitely had the distance. Jaguars coach Blake Raley knew it from the sideline and assistant Kevin Wilson knew it from his seat above the field in the coaching box.
The Class AA Jaguars, playing their first home game last Friday night after consecutive blowout road losses, had rallied in the fourth quarter against Class AAA Savannah Country Day School, but their three-point lead was tenuous as the Hornets' Harley Lichtenberg booted a potential tying 46-yard field goal.
Lichtenberg's kick was solid, but it wasn't straight.
"I saw it peeling (left), I saw it peeling, I saw it peeling," Raley said.
The kick sailed wide left and secured the combined school's 16-13 win. The Jaguars began the season with two losses by a combined score of 121-12, but they scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns and shut out the Hornets (0-1) in the second half.
"We were down, but showed we are still one county because all these guys stuck together," Wilson said. "They forged through adversity. We can stand in the face of adversity and come through."
The Jaguars trailed 13-0 at halftime, but stopped SCDS' first-and-goal attempt from the 1-yard line with 1.7 seconds remaining in the first half.
In the fourth quarter the Jaguars drove 54 yards in 13 plays and had first-and-goal from the 4, but four running attempts were stuffed and the team did not score.
But the Hornets fumbled a snap on second down and Marquis McClennon's recovery gave the Jaguars possession at the Hornets' 1. Deo'vonte Doe scored on the next play and Marquis Griffin added the 2-point conversion and it was 13-8 with 8:54 remaining.
The Hornets managed a first down on their next possession, but were forced to punt from their 42 after three plays netted eight yards.
Ridgeland-Hardeeville took possession on its 18 with 6:26 to go in the fourth and quarterback D.J. Myers tossed a screen to the backside to Doe who raced to the 35. Two plays later Myers hit Griffin on an 11-yard pass and two plays later an inside trap sent Doe through a big hole and passed a chasing defender ("he wasn't catching me") for the 50-yard winning score.
Myers added the 2-point conversion run.
SCDS mounted a drive as it reached the Jaguars' 25-yard line , but Jeffery Gadson and Kaelin Devore combined for a tackle for a 4-yard loss and the Hornets settled for the long field-goal attempt.
Senior linebacker Amar Wilkins said the lopsided losses didn't discourage the team and the Jaguars believed they could rally against the Hornets.
"Most of the doubt came from outside the locker room," Wilkins said. "We came together."
The turning point against Savannah Country Day came after a halftime adjustment.
Reliable T-formation
Offensive coordinator Russell Holley has had success using the T-formation. Two seasons ago the formation helped Ridgeland High's Jerry Scott and Torray Amlett each run for more than 1,000 yards. Last season the Jaguars continued to employ the formation. The team would like to run pistol and spread offenses, but the T — or 'White' package — has been Holley's forte.
In the first half last Friday the Jaguars stuck to the I-formation with some success. The team ran some motion, but the Hornets' safeties crowded the line and the Jaguars had 86 rushing yards on 21 attempts. Holley wanted better production, so at halftime the T-formation was revitalized.
Doe began the second half with two carries for 18 yards and the Jaguars ran sweeps throughout the half. Doe finished with 129 yards on 21 carries.
The Jaguars' running attack wore down the Hornets and when the Jaguars took possession with 6:26 remaining in the game and needed a touchdown to take the lead, Holley expanded the playbook.
On first down Myers (5-of-8 passing, 36 yards) threw the screen that netted 17 yards.
Myers, who had 44 yards rushing on eight carries, threw an 11-yard pass to Griffin two plays later and with the ball at midfield, Holley decided it was time to mix things up.
Doe said the team had been setting up SCDS with its sweeps and Holley figured the time was right to run an inside trap.
"I had that in my pocket," Holley said.
After allowing 148 passing yards and two touchdowns in the first half, the Jaguars' defense tightened their pass defense and held the Hornets to zero second-half passing yards.
Second season begins
The Region 6-AA season started Friday at Burke (1-2). The Charleston-based school defeated Scott's Branch 18-14 last Friday. Burke ran 38 times for 98 yards and completed five passes for 87 yards and a score. Quarterback Craig Williams also threw two interceptions.
Raley thinks the comeback win against the Hornets was a confidence builder.
"It's a mind-changer for heading into the region," he said. "This type of win, after the last two weeks, might have been better than us having a blowout win. The whole 48 minutes everybody had to be focused in."

The University of Florida's recent recruiting momentum continued on Tuesday morning when they officially landed the services of four-star running back Mike Blakely from Bradenton (Fla.) Manatee. Blakely is considered the No. 9 player in the Sunshine State and No. 34 player in the nation according to Rivals.com.
The 5-foot-9, 195-pound running back chose the Gators over the Auburn Tigers as well as numerous other offers. He said he made the decision last Wednesday but had to wait until nearly a week later to officially announce it.
"This was I think the best decision for me and my family and my friends. I appreciate this opportunity and my recruitment. It is an exciting day for me. In my heart I feel like I made the best decision for me," Blakely said. "I will be going to Florida."
Article Continues Below
"It came down to where I feel I have the best opportunities and it was Florida for me," Blakely added.
As a senior, Blakely has been battling an ankle injury but is still putting up impressive rushing numbers. In addition to those offensive stats, he has also thrown for two touchdowns as well. His versatility in the offense is a big reason why he expects to fit well in Gainesville.
"I see an immediate opportunity there," Blakely said of the Gator offense.
His coach, Joe Kinnan, also believes Blakely fills a hole that exists at this time on the Florida roster.
"Just watching Florida on television, they are struggling at the running back position and they have some speed guys - (Chris) Rainey and (Jeff) Demps - and they have (Emmanuel) Moody, more of a power guy," Kinnan said. "I think Mike is a complete back."
"He can run inside or run outside," Kinnan said. "He is a very explosive running back. He has great speed and great vision at finding the hole. He can also line up in the wildcat and throw the ball. If he was 6-foot-2, he could be a Division I quarterback. He has actually been our back-up quarterback the last four years."
According to Blakely, the Florida coaching staff is just excited to be adding another explosive athlete to their offense. He said they are not quick to limit him to one position or role in their offensive attack.
"They just want me to come in there and play," Blakely said. "I can play at almost anything they put me at. So if something is not going good at one position for them and they want to just to throw me in that spot, they can just put me at anything as long as I know what I am doing."
The talented back believes his role can be similar to a former Gator great, who is now in the NFL.
"They have told me they want to use me like Percy (Harvin), and that is the same thing that my school does with me now," Blakely said. "I can play as a back, in the slot, as a wide receiver, and on kick returns. If they need me on defense, then I will play defense. I am just going to help the team out any way that I can."
As for the recruiting process, Blakely said he has grown tired of it and is final in his decision. He will still take an official visit to Gainesville, possibly for their game against South Carolina. He expects to enroll at Florida in January and participate in spring practice. He doesn't expect to redshirt as a freshman.
"Really what they want me to do is just come play," Blakely said. "If you want to go down the field and catch the ball, catch the ball, if you want to run a reverse or run up the middle, just do it, just play your football game."

Estimated 3 inches of rain falls in Lenoir�County�
Heavy downpours at midday Thursday resulted in streets and parking lots being flooded throughout the area.
According to the National Weather Service, an estimated .5 to 3 inches of rain fell in various parts of Lenoir County just after noon.
Kinston Public Services Director Rhonda Barwick said dispatchers received calls for water in the 100 block of Grainger Avenue, the intersections of Blount and McLewean streets, Peyton and McLewean and one at Hardee Road and Eleanor Drive.
�Some of those, Hardee and Eleanor in particular, Kinston Public Safety put up a barricade to let motorists know to be cautious,� she said.
Barwick said crews checked on storm drains to make sure water was flowing properly.
�Normally the storm drains can handle the water, it just can�t handle all of it in such a short amount of time,� she said. �You can�t build a storm drain that is ready for every scenario. What we use as a guide is, as long as the water going into the storm drain is swirling, then it�s working. Usually within 30 minutes, the water should be completely through the storm drain. We then watch areas that are not meeting that goal.�
Cheryl Smith, manager at Little Caesars Pizza, said it�s common to see a lot of water at the store�s location on the corner West Vernon Avenue and North Herritage Street.
�Both corners flood every time it rains hard,� she said.
Smith said the rain does not inhibit customers from getting their pizzas.
�The bad weather brings people out,� she said. �We get busy when it starts pouring. I guess people just feel the need to come out.�
Auto Zone manager Santiago Contreras said the store, located on East Vernon Avenue, sees occasional flooding, but the rain didn�t cause too many problems Thursday.
�The rain today came in and then it dried out,� he said
According to the National Weather Service, residents will enjoy a reprieve from rain over the next several days. The forecast calls for a 20 percent chance of rain Friday and Saturday, with the chance of rain increasing to 30 percent on Sunday and Monday.

This past Sunday I started my second and final 12:365 project. The project is about me taking a portrait of my daughter everyday from the day she turns 12 until the she becomes a teenager.
I did the same thing for my son when he was 12. I didn't get to do the entire 365 days for him because he was away on vacation or I was unable to because I wasn't around that day. I don't think I'll get all 365 days for Sophia either but I'll sure as hell try.
Most images won't show any technical mastery, composition skills or anything like that. It will only tell a story. A story of an artist, writer, volleyball player, a daughter. I hope one day she'll look back and show her kids and family how awesome she is even at 12 years old.

THE AWAKENING Debuts at the Naomi Bruton Theater, 3/22
The Awakening is described as "a psychological love story told through a medium called "the fashion opera" that explores the power of The Language of Perception as it relates to people of African descent and an endless battle at the doorsteps of White Approval."
After centuries of oppression, they thought they were rising, but left the elements of who they are behind. They proclaimed that they were beautiful, but took the elements of themselves out of the equation. They thought they were free, but forgot that freedom was more than a physical declaration. They thought they had arrived, but didn't realize they had been conquered. Something had gone terribly wrong along the way. Something had been brewing at the seat of their souls rooted in centuries of hate.
Beauty, it is defined as that which pleases the eyes and senses. "What is it that pleases you?" asks the Goddess of Beauty. "Perception Deceives. What if that which you cannot see as beautiful is something so vital to your existence. Could it be that you have removed yourself and your people from The Equation of Beauty?"
The greatest way to enslave and conquer a people eternally is to remove them from The Equation of Beauty, and convince them that the elements of who they are is of a second class existence and must be constantly adjusted to the approval of an oppressor or oppressive structure to be seen as appropriate, beautiful, intelligent, professional, worthy, and significant.

Mobile authentication and encryption services for enterprises are growing dynamically with the saturation of cloud-based applications and BYOD trends, according to ABI Research (www.abiresearch.com).
Organizations are looking to maximize the benefits of these technologies while maintaining a level of security that satisfies compliance and the protection of corporate resources, according to the research group. These need to be further balanced against flexibility and manageability; without these guarantees, even the most secure solutions are useless.

Surveying the Field: Bill Snyder is doing it again at Kansas State
One wily, old coaching veteran who announced his return to the top 10 by having his team ready and able to play in big games is Kansas State's Bill Snyder. The Master of Manhattan pulled off yet another shocker over Oklahoma thanks to a Heisman dark horse and former quarterback on defense.

Peaks and valleys are inherent in the game of college football. An emotional win one week, a puzzling loss the next: This is what head coaches try to guard against all the time, and some are better at it than others.
Just ask Nick Saban, who earlier this year memorably lit into the media for overlooking Alabama's upcoming opponent in Western Kentucky after pounding Michigan to open the season. The Crimson Tide did end up struggling somewhat against a pretty good Hilltoppers team, but managed to walk out with an easy 35-0 win at the end of the day.
Though Saban might have made his point somewhat sorely, it's an act coaches have been doing for decades in their own way. Everyone wants a focused team, but it's getting that team to come out and play with the same enthusiasm, preparation and execution every game that makes good teams great and, on the flip side, average teams bad ones.
As we saw this past week, one wily, old veteran of the game announced his return to the top 10 by having his team ready and able to play. Kansas State's Bill Snyder, the Master of Manhattan, pulled off yet another shocker when many thought he'd lose to Oklahoma. Snyder and Kansas State grabbed a 24-19 win over the Sooners, vaulting the Wildcats to No. 7 in the country, giving them the Big 12 conference banner as the highest ranked team in the league.

"It means we got better," Snyder deadpanned after the victory. "Our coaches prepared our players well and our players played extremely well. They played hard and I appreciated that a great deal. I think we got better in virtually all facets of the game.
"I don't know how many different ways to say it, they played hard."
The funny thing is, he doesn't know how to say it any differently. He's simple, to the point and there's nothing much you can do about it. Just ask the Big 12, where he is now 56-19 against teams currently in the league and tied with Oklahoma State for most wins since the start of 2011.
"He really didn't have too many words to say and that's how you can tell he's excited," running back John Hubert said.
Hubert, quarterback Collin Klein and a host of players on defense are among the 18 returning starters on a squad that went 10-3 last season. Most expected the team to take a step back after so many close wins a year ago, but instead it's moved forward by simply playing sound football. The Wildcats are now one of the favorites to win the league after going into Norman and knocking off Bob Stoops at home for the first time as a ranked team. It was quite the turnaround from the teams' last meeting, where Oklahoma scored 35 unanswered in the second half to ring up the fourth most points ever scored on a Snyder defense in a 58-17 win.
At the heart of the Wildcats is their calm, collected leader and Heisman Trophy dark horse Klein. He doesn't have the strongest arm nor is he the fastest guy on the field, but he's savvy and plays mostly mistake-free. To seal the win against the Sooners, he converted two key third downs on the final drive by first putting just enough touch on a pass to Tramaine Thompson for 12 yards and a first down and then hesitating for just a second before coming downhill with the ball to gain five yards to move the sticks, which ultimately sealed the game.
Klein put up impressive numbers a year ago -- 1,141 yards and 27 touchdowns rushing, 1,918 yards and 13 touchdowns passing -- but there's less pressure on him to do everything this year. He gives Kansas State a chance to win every week because of his demeanor and knack for making the right play at the right time. With Klein under center, it doesn't seem like the Wildcats are ever out of a game. Klein doesn't dwell on mistakes and takes after his coach more than most.
"I like third and medium much more than third and long," Snyder says matter of factly, as he always does, when asked about the offense. "You've got a better chance so obviously you just want to go that way."
What's remarkable about the Snyder Era, Part II is that he has the right mix of players on the roster and more of them are contributing than ever before. Close to one-third of the roster is made up of junior college players or college transfers. On the defensive side, just two starters were signed out of high school (Tre Walker and Ty Zimmerman) by the program. It's as if the coaching staff is turning water into wine, but that might not be the most apt metaphor since most of the roster already has aged like a fine whiskey and merely needed to be opened at the right time.
|Collin Klein does a little bit of everything in helping Kansas State to a top-10 ranking. (US Presswire)
Look no further than Justin Tuggle as an example of Snyder's approach. The son of 14-year NFL veteran and College Football Hall of Famer Jessie Tuggle, he was a quarterback coming out of high school in suburban Atlanta. The younger Tuggle signed with Boston College and wound up starting three games as a red shirt freshman. After failing to win the starting job he moved on to Blinn Junior College in 2010 -- he succeeded some guy named Cam Newton -- and emerged as Rivals.com top junior college dual-threat quarterback. He never made a dent on the Kansas State depth chart last year beyond a few special teams plays and was moved to linebacker after the regular season. With a full spring under his belt to learn the position, Tuggle has been one of the reasons the Wildcats are 26th in scoring defense and are allowing just 93 yards rushing a game.
"He has played extremely well," Snyder said. "He plays hard. He's getting a little bit better every week and just kind of getting acclimated to things. He's playing within himself, which is extremely important."
Against Oklahoma on Saturday, Tuggle chased down quarterback Landry Jones and strip-sacked him in the middle of the second quarter, which led to a defensive touchdown and Kansas State's first points of the game. Tuggle wasn't even playing linebacker on the play; he lined up as a defensive end.
"It's weird, but it's a great feeling," Tuggle said. "Last year I didn't have too much fun on the sidelines, but I supported my team the whole way through. Personally, though, it wasn't great just watching on the sidelines and I wanted to get on the field and get in games like we played in (vs. Oklahoma). That's what I looked forward to every winter and summer workout.
"I just like being on the field and able to make plays and getting out there by showing off my athleticism. Whether it's getting off the edge or if I'm back in the box at linebacker, I just love being on the field."
Snyder has taken one of the worst programs in the country and transformed it into one that has won nearly 75 percent of its games since 1993. Although there's not much in-state talent in the high school ranks, his staff has done a remarkable job of evaluating players and developing them in a short time. Though you wouldn't think it with a rag-tag group, at least one Wildcat has been drafted into the NFL the past 18 years, according to the school.
The oldest coach at the FBS level, the 72-year-old Snyder (he turns 73 in October) has perhaps one of the better teams he's had at Kansas State and Saturday's upset was simply the Wildcats' way of saying the Big 12 championship is not only realistic for them, but expected.
"All wins are important, every coach will tell you that and every player will probably tell you the same thing because they're so hard to come by," Snyder said. "There was a confidence going into the ball game and they felt that this could happen."
"We are one of those teams that could be in the top-five easily," Hubert echoed. "But we kind of like to be underdogs to give us the momentum and confidence to play hard."
There's no flash or celebration for the hard-nosed Wildcats, but with Snyder leading the way, this team might just be able to capture that Big 12 title that's been tabbed for others. It's OK if you don't believe it, however -- that's just the way Kansas State likes it.
Stat of the week
|Boise State against BYU. (US Presswire)
From Coaches by the Numbers, Boise State's Chris Petersen has coached 146 games since 2001 as head coach or offensive coordinator. Against BYU, it marked only second time in that stretch that Petersen scored fewer than 10 points.
Stats to chew on
- Texas Tech is currently No. 2 in total offense and No. 1 in total defense. Of course, it's done it against powerhouses like Northwestern State, Texas State and New Mexico but the latter number is encouraging for a program that finished 114th in total defense last season.
- There are six teams that haven't trailed in a game this year: Alabama, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Oregon DucksOregon State, Texas Tech, West Virginia.
- Per Baylor, the program has now been ranked in the polls at some point for three straight years for first time since 1974-76 seasons.
- The last time Notre Dame intercepted five passes in one game was against Purdue in 1988. It had five in the first half against Michigan.
- UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley's 404 yards of total offense against Oregon State ranks fiffth all-time at UCLA and is the sixth 400-yard game in school history. Amazingly, Hundley is the first Bruins quarterback to throw for at least 300 yards in three straight games.
- Cobi Hamilton set an Arkansas and SEC single-game record with 303 receiving yards (on just 10 catches, three for touchdowns) against Rutgers. The total is the 14th highest in FBS history and most this season.
- Alabama and Texas A&M are the only SEC teams to score first in all of their games this season.
- Wisconsin's Montee Ball had 710 touches in his career before fumbling on Saturday.
- According to the school, Baylor has scored 45-plus points in seven straight games and has nine straight games of 500-plus yards total offense.

First off, you need to follow our newest College Football Insider Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerCBS) on Twitter as he not only will be a great source of the latest news, but he'll be at Tennessee-Georgia this week. Dennis Dodd will be in Seattle for a double-dip, Stanford-Washington on Thursday and then Oregon-Washington State on Saturday. Finally, I'll have the primetime matchup between Texas and Oklahoma State in Stillwater.
Leaning this way
Baylor at West Virginia
There might not be an over/under high enough for this game. West Virginia is ranked highly thanks to Geno Smith's remarkable start to the season. But the team has done it against weaker competition and didn't look all that sharp against Maryland. Baylor had its hands full in a road win against a solid Louisiana-Monroe squad and the Bears have the firepower on offense to keep up. It's at home and the Big 12 opener for the Mountaineers, so they'll win it but it will be closer than most think.
Pick: West Virginia
<span data-shortcode= State" data-canon="Ohio Bobcats" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" id="shortcode0"> at Michigan State
This will be the first real test for Braxton Miller and the Buckeyes as they face a team that has one of the best defenses in the Big Ten, but is still figuring things out on offense outside of their running game. Ohio State has a good defense that should be able to get pressure on the quarterback, but you wonder how they'll respond after UAB was able to hit some big plays last week. I'm just not yet a believer in Andrew Maxwell to make enough plays to keep the defense honest so OSU goes on the road and grabs a big one.
Pick: Ohio State
Texas at Oklahoma State
We're really not sure about either top 25 team at this point, which certainly adds to the intrigue. Texas hasn't played a defense even close to the Cowboys and though David Ash has looked sharp early this year, this is time to prove he can guide the Longhorns to the Big 12 title. With Wes Lunt likely out (or at least hampered if he does play) and a different look on offense with J.W. Walsh under center, the Texas defense should do enough for a big road win in the conference.
