5-Star WR Recruit Christian Kirk Tweets Final 6 Schools
Scottsdale, Arizona, receiver Christian Kirk, a 5-star recruit and the No. 36 overall player in the 2015 recruiting class, trimmed his list of potential schools down to six Wednesday afternoon.
He announced in a Tweet that he will be choosing among Arizona State, Auburn, Ohio State, Texas A&M, UCLA and USC:
Kirk is 5'10", 191 pounds and checks in as the No. 4 receiver in the country. No other player in the national top 25 is listed at under 6'0", which is a testament to Kirk's shiftiness in the slot.
According to Bleacher Report's Tyler Donohue, who was on location in Beaverton, Oregon, Kirk stood out as a quarterback favorite during Nike's The Opening in July. Some of those QBs might not be done playing with Kirk by the time next season rolls around.
"I've got a lot of quarterbacks talking to me about maybe playing together in college," Kirk told Donohue. "They're all trying. It's cool."
Chief among those quarterbacks are Texas A&M commit Kyler Murray and USC commit Ricky Town. The Aggies and Trojans are the two favorites on Kirk's 247Sports "Crystal Ball," and according to Donohue, they have both pitched Kirk on coming to their schools.
"Kirk is on my list," said Town. "He's a guy we're pursuing at USC and someone who would be great to throw the ball to at the next level."
"He's my boy and he knows the deal," chimed in Murray. "I don't think I even need to say anything to Christian about that."
Here Murray is connecting with Kirk in the seven-on-seven tournament:
The third favorite on Kirk's "Crystal Ball" is Ohio State, and even though the Buckeyes didn't have a QB around to pitch Kirk in Beaverton, Adam Gorney of Rivals.com thinks they are in the mix to get him:
No matter where he commits, and no matter who is throwing him the ball, Kirk looks like a potential game-changer at the next level. Comparisons with Percy Harvin should never be taken lightly.
It's a good day for all six of these schools.

Florida State Football: 2014 Has Special Significance for Hunter, Haplea
Tyler Hunter played in just three games last season for the Florida State football team before suffering a neck injury. Kevin Haplea's year was done in the summer when he had a knee injury.
Both were on the sideline and forced to watch the BCS Championship Game from a distance.
That changes in 2014, as both Hunter and Haplea are in position to see significant playing time. Hunter is competing for a starting job at safety with Nate Andrews. And Haplea won't start over Nick O'Leary, but FSU will use more formations with two tight ends—especially in the red zone.
Hunter, a junior, was all smiles after Monday's first preseason practice. Players weren't allowed by the NCAA's acclimation rules to be in pads yet and there's very little hitting, but Hunter said his neck felt "like it never happened."
"It's amazing just to be back out there," Hunter said. "Been waiting on this for a long time. Just like a kid. Taking every play. Just loving it. I've been waiting on this moment for a long time."
Hunter had 26 tackles and three interceptions in 2012 and started three games at nickel corner. But just three games into last season, Hunter went down during a mid-September win over Bethune-Cookman. He wasn't able to play again, and in October he opted to have surgery on a bulging disc.
Hunter was able to play in the spring but wasn't cleared for contact. Now he's been given the green light.
"He's like a kid at Christmas," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "It's like he's two or three when you first started knowing Santa Claus is coming. To me as a coach it's very rewarding. That tells you how much it means to him."
Haplea, a junior, has been wearing a knee brace for a year since having surgery in July of 2013. He caught three passes for 15 yards and a touchdown in 2012 after transferring from Penn State, and Haplea figured to be more involved in the offense last year.
But after a year on the sideline, Haplea said he's excited for FSU's season opener on Aug. 30 against Oklahoma State.
"I've been running faster than I was before I got hurt," Haplea said. "I'm looking forward to the season."
As FSU looks for a consistent No. 2 receiver after losing Kelvin Benjamin and Kenny Shaw, the transition is eased by the return of two experienced tight ends. Fisher plans to use O'Leary and Haplea to provide run support and catch passes.
"He ought to have a great year for us," Fisher said. "We're counting on him."

Trent Thompson Sets Decision Date: Which Program Is Best Fit for 5-Star?
Trent Thompson, one of the nation's top defensive tackles in the 2015 class, announced his plans to make his commitment on August 12, according to Kipp Adams of 247Sports.
Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia and USC are the schools in contention for the 6'4", 292-pounder's services. The home-state Bulldogs are the unquestioned favorite, according to Thompson's crystal ball page.
However, what makes Mark Richt's club the best fit for Thompson are the recent additions of defensive line coach Tracy Rocker and defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.
As Bleacher Report's Barrett Sallee detailed, Richt's hire of Rocker was a "home run" for the Bulldogs.
Rocker, who starred as a defensive lineman at Auburn in the late 1980s, brings years of experience as a coach in the SEC and in the NFL.
According to Sallee, in three of his last five years coaching in the SEC, his defenses have finished in the top five in the conference in tackles for loss.
Thompson—who has recorded 148 tackles and 17 sacks over his last two seasons at Albany's Westover High School—is a perfect fit for Rocker to plug into the middle of the Bulldogs' 3-4 scheme.
During Thompson's visit to Athens last month, he spoke on the attraction of potentially playing for a coach with Rocker's decorated resume on the field and as a coach.
"Tracy Rocker, he won the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Trophy in the same year," Thompson told Adams (subscription required). "He's a beast."
Additionally, the Bulldogs' top two players at nose guard—Chris Mayes and Mike Thornton—are upperclassmen. Assuming Thompson can make a smooth transition to the college level, there should be ample playing time available if he heads to Athens.
Meanwhile, Pruitt's one-year stint as Florida State's defensive coordinator was built around the talents of star nose guard Timmy Jernigan—which could be the role Thompson is asked to play for the 'Dawgs.
Among the schools fighting to pry Thompson away from his home state, Auburn appears to pose the biggest threat to Georgia. According to Adams (subscription required), Thompson made five visits to Auburn's campus this year.
Similar to Rocker, Tigers defensive line coach Rodney Garner—who served in the same capacity at Georgia from 1998-2012—has a strong track record of producing elite defensive linemen.
The Tigers also have a wealth of upperclassmen at defensive tackle, and as Adams noted, that's a big part of their pitch to Thompson.
"Auburn is telling me about how many defensive lineman they are losing and how I can make a big impact early if I go here," Thompson said.
While both SEC powers and bitter rivals offer Thompson great opportunities, in the end, the chance to star for the home-standing Bulldogs may be too tough to pass on.

Notre Dame Football: Development Needs to Come Quickly on Defense
NCAA rules limit the amount of time teams can spend on the field during their first week. So while two hours feels gone in an instant, a football coach would point out there are 22 hours left to get more work accomplished.
That's certainly the case for Notre Dame's new defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder. The veteran assistant has spent most of the past decade working in the NFL, where 20-hour rules and other time constraints vanish once a team hits training camp.
But VanGorder's been tasked with getting a young and inexperienced defense up to speed, with the clock ticking closer and closer to August 30. And after two days of practice, VanGorder caught up with UND.com's Jack Nolan and gave an appraisal of where his unit stands learning the decidedly different scheme he's installed.
"I think the guys, the veterans have moved along, and schematically are more responsible and familiar with it," VanGorder told Nolan. "But the idea of consistency right now, which you expect in a day or two, is something of concern. So that's what we've got to continue to preach. We've got to get consistent good play, we've got to get more productive plays, and that will all come."
VanGorder specifically citing productivity is interesting, only because last season's defense struggled to make the productive plays that catapulted Notre Dame into the BCS title game in 2012.
While Bob Diaco built a system that held strong to basic principles, it thrived by making game-changing plays, with Manti Te'o taking the football away at a ridiculous pace for a linebacker, and the Irish defense playing sensational red-zone defense.
Those big plays were few and far between last year. Personnel changes were made to combat the deficiencies that hampered the 2013 defense, a group that was 103rd nationally in turnovers and 83rd in sacks.
Young safety Max Redfield was moved into the starting lineup, pushing Matthias Farley outside to cornerback. Jaylon Smith was pushed inside to the Will linebacker spot, forcing teams to deal with the Irish's best playmaker on every snap.
While Kelly continues to talk about the Irish playing multiple fronts, just about everybody expects the Irish to base their defense out of a 4-3 after four seasons with a 3-4 set.
Of course, the Irish won't be able to utilize their skill if they're unable to fully grasp what they're doing.
So after 15 spring practices, VanGorder and the defensive staff utilized June to spend time reinstalling their defense, taking a page out of the NFL playbook by holding their own version of OTAs (Organized Team Activities).
"It was another chance for our guys in our new system, maybe more important to us, because it was a new system that they were learning," VanGorder explained. "I think it worked well for us and was advantageous."
At every level of the defense, the Irish are counting on new blood to make an impact. With pass rush a need, converted outside linebackers Romeo Okwara and Ishaq Williams will start at defensive end.
Former walk-on Joe Schmidt has proven early in camp that his spring ascent into the starting lineup was far from a fluke. He's the man in the middle, while youngster Nyles Morgan learns the defense and Jarrett Grace continues to heal from a gruesome leg injury. Converted safety John Turner will play outside linebacker, as will former wide receiver James Onwualu, two wild cards who will be counted on to make plays in space and hold up against the run.
Sophomore Cole Luke holds down the cornerback position across from KeiVarae Russell. Florida transfer Cody Riggs looks like the type of versatile cover man VanGorder and Brian Kelly have coveted, an undersized but physical talent who will bounce into the slot to cover inside receivers in multiple personnel groupings.
"I think that's the battle you're in," VanGorder said, when asked about the personnel tweaks. "When you have a new system and you have new roles, and you're trying to encourage those particular roles from each player, he's in the battle of learning the system—a new language, new terms—so sometimes, it takes a little bit longer for them to accomplish their particular roles."
Less than a week into things, VanGorder and the Irish defense still have some time. But with an offense primed to score a ton of points, Notre Dame will win football games if the defense can complement Kelly's spread attack.
So as we hunt for answers at position battles and wonder how VanGorder's attacking scheme will help force turnovers and make plays behind the line of scrimmage, the veteran coach is still preaching patience.
"They've got to get comfortable," VanGorder said. "They've got to be able to go out and play fast. That's really the goal of all football players... When they get a comfort level with all those things, now you've got a player who is playing fast. That's when I think our scheme will become more effective and exciting for them."

Auburn Football: Ricardo Louis' Legacy Will Be More Than Miracle Catch
AUBURN, Ala. — Ricardo Louis has seen it too many times.
Nick Marshall throws a last-gasp pass into double coverage against Georgia. The Bulldog secondary can't come down with the interception, and Louis somehow looks ahead just in time to make the season-saving touchdown catch.
Louis became a nationally known name in an instant. His catch was replayed over and over on countless TV stations and websites. "The Miracle at Jordan-Hare" even earned him a spot on the red carpet at the ESPYs last month.
No matter what Louis does in his final two seasons at Auburn, he will go down in history as an Auburn legend.
He knows this, and he doesn't like it.
"I'm trying to move forward," Louis said. "That was a big play and all that, it was legendary, but I'm looking forward to the future. I want my career to be defined by more than just that."
Although he might finish his career as Auburn's most famous receiver for his grab against Georgia, he still has a ton of untapped potential at the position.
Louis was a speedy running back and safety during his high school days in Miami, but he came to Auburn as a 4-star wide receiver.
After recording only three catches in his true freshman season, Louis got into the rotation as slot receiver under Gus Malzahn and offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee.
However, Louis had a quiet season outside of the 2013 Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. Although he was Auburn's second-leading receiver in catches and yards, his stats were not impressive compared to most wideouts across the country.
Fellow wide receiver Quan Bray said Louis has the drive to become famous for more than just one rivalry game.
"He's going to live on that catch for the rest of his life," Bray said. "But, he's a hard worker, and I'm sure he'll be known for more than just that play at the end of his career."
Now that Malzahn and staff plan to give returning quarterback Nick Marshall and his veteran corps of receivers more passes this season, Louis has a chance to become more than just the player who made the catch that saved Auburn's SEC Championship hopes.
"Ricardo is one of those guys that we really challenge to take that next step," Malzahn said. "Last year was really his first year to really play receiver for an entire year. We really feel like that he has a chance to take that next step so he can understand the offense, and we can move him around."
Louis is expected to fit into Auburn's lineup at slot receiver, where he started six games last season.
However, he has seen reps at wide receiver alongside returning star Sammie Coates and junior college transfer D'haquille Williams during the first few days of fall camp.
He also has lined up at punt returner early in camp with senior running back Corey Grant and a pair of true freshmen, Roc Thomas and Stanton Truitt.
Louis said he is embracing the moves around the depth chart in order to make Auburn's uptempo attack even more versatile in 2014.
As a former running back, Louis brings speed and open-field explosiveness once he gets the ball in his hands as a receiver or as a runner on one of Auburn's speed sweeps.
But one area the wide receiver needs to improve is making sure the ball stays in his hands.
Although his catching ability was Auburn's saving grace against Georgia, it let him down in last season's BCS National Championship Game on what would have been a first-possession score against Florida State.
Unlike his famous catch against Georgia, Louis said he looks back on that infamous drop as motivation in his efforts to become "more than just a good athlete on the field."
"I watch [the drop] over and over," Louis told AL.com's Brandon Marcello this spring. "I should've made the play. What would happen if I would have made that play? That's how I look at it."
Whether he makes his mark as a deep-ball receiver on the outside, a go-to target down the middle of the field or a special teams playmaker, Louis said he is willing to build his budding Auburn legacy at any position.
"We're going to be moved around a lot," Louis said. "We're going to have to be more relaxed about it, you know, not too uptight about moving around, not everybody having a specific spot. We're just going to work together as a team."
And his teammates say they have noticed that different attitude in Louis this offseason.
"I see a different Ricardo this year," senior H-back Brandon Fulse said. "I see him working hard, staying after practice and catching extra balls. Doing all the little stuff right."

Oregon Football: Blue-Collar Ducks Embracing Attitude Adjustment
Certain qualities come to mind when thinking of Oregon football: High-scoring offense and trend-setting uniforms are likely the first two.
But in head coach Mark Helfrich's second season at the helm, the Ducks are embracing a new trait: that of a workmanlike, blue-collar team.
Per Jason Quick of The Oregonian, Oregon sported practice jerseys with a blue collar Monday, the first day of preseason camp. This latest Ducks fashion trend is one with particular significance for the 2014 season.
"[I]t's self explanatory," running back Byron Marshall told Quick. "[Helfrich] wants that blue-collar worker, a guy who is going to come to practice and work. He told us he wants to be unable to tell if we like games or practices more."
Despite winning at least 10 games every year since 2008—a feat that puts Oregon in exclusive company with Alabama—there's been one consistent rap on the Ducks. They simply can't stand toe-to-toe in a slugfest against power-based teams with beefy lines and old-school sensibilities.
Their losses since reaching the BCS Championship Game in the 2010 season seemingly confirm the knock. The Ducks dropped a heartbreaker to Auburn in the title game but fell 28 points shy of their season average.
LSU and USC handed Oregon its losses in 2011, and Arizona workhorse running Ka'Deem Carey wore down the Ducks defense a season ago. And, of course, November losses to Stanford each of the last two seasons denied the Ducks two Pac-12 championships.
Rectifying the mistakes that cost the Ducks in those losses is the difference between another great season in 2014, and a possible championship campaign. And adopting the mindset of coming to work every day, as Marshall describes, is the foundation.
The blue-collar mentality is the overall philosophy reflected in more specific areas of emphasis for Oregon heading into 2014.
On offense, quarterback Marcus Mariota cited red-zone efficiency as a primary concern at Pac-12 media days. That begins with the Ducks showing a more smash-mouth brand of football inside the 20-yard line.
Reinforcements arrive in the form of freshman running back Royce Freeman. Listed at 6'0", 229 pounds in his GoDucks.com bio, Freeman is a big-bodied option in those short-yardage situations.
The talented power back certainly brings a hard-hitting style to the Ducks' speed-based offensive attack, and his coaches and teammates are taking notice.
Defensively, Helfrich talked at length about execution during Pac-12 media days.
"In general terms, a lot of missed tackles, a lot of times up front we could have done things differently," he said.
Helfrich added that is "on us as coaches."
"We're not...going to dock our players on execution," he said. "Execution is coached."
Similarly, the blue-collar practice jerseys are the Ducks coaches emphasizing a change in attitude with a tangible gesture. Should it pay off, Oregon can add a new defining trait when the program first comes to mind.
They have already had diamond-plating and feathers incorporated into their uniforms. Perhaps a lunch pail is next for the Ducks.

USC Football: Practice Philosophy Sets Tone for Sarkisian Era
USC opened its 2014 fall camp Monday with a new take on past Trojans traditions.
"It reminded me of back in the day, coming out here as a kid," linebacker Hayes Pullard told Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.
No, these are not Lane Kiffin's Trojans.
The coming days and weeks of practice, before the Steve Sarkisian era officially begins on Aug. 30, set the tone for the new head coach's tenure.
Fans were welcomed to the first camp session of the new season, and music played over the sound system. The players endorse it, if standout sophomore safety Su'a Cravens is any indication.
Cravens gave his seal of approval via Ryan Abraham of USCFootball.com:
With practices reopened after three-plus years of a closed-door policy, Sarkisian is instilling an atmosphere more reminiscent of the Pete Carroll era.
A looser practice atmosphere certainly didn't seem to hinder the Carroll-era USC teams, of which Sarkisian served as an assistant. Those teams put together a streak of seven consecutive conference championships from 2002 through 2008.
And in his return as head coach, Sarkisian is guiding players who saw success with a similar practice philosophy just last year.
In certain ways, the current philosophy is a continuation of the changes interim head coach Ed Orgeron adopted midway through last season. USC rallied from a 3-2 start to reach the 10-win mark after Kiffin's dismissal.
But practice in this new era of USC football isn't merely about allowing in spectators or playing music. At Pac-12 media days last month, Sarkisian promised to test his team's limits despite a thin roster.
"We won't ever change the intensity of practice," he said in reference to the Trojans' limited roster. USC opened camp with fewer than 70 scholarship players due to NCAA sanctions. "It's physical [and] mentally challenging.
"We're going to focus on the exact numbers of reps our starters are getting," Sarkisian added. "If our practices end in an hour and 45 minutes instead of 2 hours and 15 [minutes], so be it."
And therein lies the most significant change Sarkisian and his staff are introducing in 2014. Implementation of an uptempo offense requires a practice with high energy and higher snap counts.
Practice No. 1 worked toward that end, with the Trojans running more than 200 plays, per Fox Sports' Rahshaun Haylock.
The second practice pulled back a bit, per USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and Chris Swanson, but remained at a high repetition count.
Such a torrid pace must be standard practice fare for USC throughout the season in order for the Trojans to successfully execute the new staff's vision.
A season ago at Washington, Sarkisian's Huskies ran 1,023 plays—99 more than USC ran despite the Trojans playing one more game.
USC has ground to make up in order to reach Washington's pace, and the repetition of practice is designed to address the physical side of that as well as the mental.
At Pac-12 media days, quarterback Cody Kessler described the outlook the Trojans are cultivating in workouts.
"One of our mottos as a team is 'next play.' Next play mentality," he said. "You can't focus on what happened...because as soon as one play ends, you're looking automatically to the sideline for what formation you're in; what play's next."
Come fall, the Trojans are going to have to enact that mindset before spectators and with background noise.
So, in their own way, even the fans and music at USC practices are playing a role in shaping Sarkisian's first season.

Michigan Football: 5 Best QBs Wolverines Will Face in 2014
Michigan will spend a lot of time devising game plans for its quarterback Devin Gardner.
Conversely, the Wolverines will also clock several hours developing strategies to combat opposing signal-callers.
With a schedule that features road tests at Michigan State and Ohio State, Team 135 will not only face two of the Big Ten's best, but they'll square off against two of the country's best: The Buckeyes' Braxton Miller is considered one of the game's most athletic, while Connor Cook, the Spartans' Rose Bowl MVP, has been name-dropped in Heisman chatter (h/t Tom Dienhart of BTN.com).
Of course, Connor and Miller aren't the only ones that Greg Mattison's defense must defend against. Notre Dame and Penn State also have talented signal-callers who could pose problems come game day.
This slideshow will highlight, analyze and rank the five best arms that the Wolverines will battle in 2014.
Michigan Football: Team Hungry to Succeed After Offseason Changes
Michigan flamed out at the end of last season, dropping five out of its last six games to finish a mediocre 7-6. That isn't what Michigan fans expected from Brady Hoke. The disappointing record drove Hoke to hire a new offensive coordinator and reshuffle his defensive staff.
The changes have transformed a team that was dispirited and broken after last season into a group eager to face a difficult road schedule that sends the Wolverines to play at Notre Dame, Michigan State and Ohio State.
"The temperament of the team is different," said defensive back Blake Countess. "The team is hungry, this is the hungriest I've seen a team since I've been here."
The defensive changes spurred intense competition during spring practice, and even Countess, an All-Big Ten first-team selection last season (six interceptions, 46 tackles, one interception return for a touchdown) felt pressure to earn his position every day in practice.
Countess specifically mentioned both Jourdan Lewis and Channing Stribling as players who've made tremendous strides this spring.
"Those guys came in as freshmen last year running around with their heads on fire. Both guys had tremendous talent but didn't understand what they were being asked to do last season."
Countess' work has paid off, earning him the right to wear the No. 2 jersey made famous by Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson. The jersey does not currently carry a legends designation but that's just a formality delayed by Woodson's NFL career. It's still an incredible honor for a player lining up in the Michigan defensive backfield.
"It's been a goal of mine since I committed," said Countess. "I look up to guys like Charles Woodson and Deion Sanders, and they both wore No. 2 in college."
Top defensive recruit Jabrill Peppers, who has said he hopes to be better than Woodson, will have to wait for the number—Countess has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Michigan needs its defense to be stout—especially early in the season while its offense gets on track, adjusting to a new scheme and integrating new players on the offensive line and at wide receiver.
Could Michigan be poised for another surprise run like its 2011 campaign in which it won 11 games?
For that to happen, the team's newfound hunger needs to translate into a lockdown defense, and Countess will need to earn the No. 2 jersey on every play.

The ACC is full of NFL-caliber talent on both sides of the ball as seen by Florida State's run to the national title last year, but there's elite talent outside of Tallahassee as well.
The players listed here will be eligible for next year's draft and have polished their games enough to make immediate impacts at the next level as well as have the potential to further develop into game changers. Look for these names to rise on mock draft boards as the season progresses.
From Miami to the Carolinas to newcomer Louisville, here are the 10 most NFL-ready players in the ACC.

Claude Coats: The Art of Deception and the Deception of Art
Of all the major contributors to the creation of the Haunted Mansion, the most elusive is Claude Coats (1913-1992). That is primarily because no interview with Mr. Coats on the subject has ever been published, to my knowledge, and not a great deal of his Mansion-related artwork has been out and about either.Details »

Texas's Bexar County Leaders Vote for Domestic Partner Health Benefits
February 4, 2014 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Today, Bexar County Commissioners Court voted unanimously in favor of extending county employee benefits to include domestic partners.
Under the proposal, county employees may add "one qualifying adult" to his or her plan if the adult meets certain restrictions and requirements.
The vote is the latest in a string of pro-LGBT legislation in the county. In September, the city council of San Antonio, the largest city in Bexar County, voted 8 to 3 in favor of updating the city ordinances to ban discrimination against LGBT residents in contracting, housing, public accommodations and city employment.
With actions like these, cities and countries continue to demonstrate leadership on matters of equality. This is happening at the local level across the country: where states and the federal government have failed to act, municipalities have stepped up. HRC's Municipal Equality Index demonstrates the ways that many cities can – and do – serve the LGBT people who live and work in those cities. Read the Municipal Equality Index report here, and click here to see the detailed scorecards for the 291 cities the MEI rated in 2013.

Great sandwich/salad or bakery Arlington?
Recently I've found myself in Arlington (Mass Ave & Pleasant St) for a work project around lunchtime. Arlington is an area I haven't explored at all, so I'm looking to you guys.
Are there any great sandwich/salad places around that area ideally in walking distance or short drive? I'm hoping something along the lines of a great bakery or coffee shop or sandwich shop where I could also grab an ice coffee. Barring that, a place to get a falafel? Any other suggestions for a good, quick, but non sit-down place?
Walking distance, the Madrona Tree has decent sandwiches, albeit a bit overpriced with slow/spotty service. But the food is totally satisfying, I recommend calling ahead first. For a fairly short drive (a straight shot down Broadway, then right onto Holland Street) head to Davis Square for all of your needs. Daves Fresh Pasta for excellent/above average sandwiches, sides, etc. and Amsterdam Falafel a bit further down the street for-you guessed it- falafel! Diesel Cafe is right across for above average coffee. For traditional sub/sandwich shop, Anthony's East Side Deli (Mass Ave headed towards Cambridge-can walk there) may be ok, although I prefer D'Agostino's in Arlington Heights (the opposite direction on Mass Ave, towards Lexington- would need to drive). You really can't go wrong with any of the above mentioned, I am telling you this as a full time employee in the same area you are working!
Fresh Pond Seafood is walkable if you like the friend-seafood-in-a-roll thing. They have some booths if you want to eat in.
Second Madrona tree. There is also a bagel place - Bagels By Us - up the road just past Mill St.
Just up the road a bit is Blue Ribbon BBQ - good for take out.
For coffee, we have 4 Dunkin's and 2 Starbucks.. but I'd either hit Quebrada Baking Company on Mass Ave in East Arlington or Gail Ann's Coffee Shop in the Center. Quebrada has nice savory pastries in the morning, and Gail Ann's does good muffins. Barismo in East Arlington is a coffee roaster that opened a retail counter - very good stuff.
And if you like your traditional Italian place, Sabatino's in East Arlington does a good slice or buffalo chicken wrap.
No decent falafel in town.. I think some of the "Houses of Pizza" sell it, but never tried it myself.
If you like sushi/sashimi or other japanese cuisine, I'd hit Toraya for lunch - they do a nice bento box.
If you want to expand your radius, there's some tasty places in nearby Somerville, Medford, and North Cambridge as well..
re: grant.cook
These are good suggestions, and I would add Francesca's on Mass Ave and the new Menotomy Grill (open for lunch Thu-Sun) to the list. Francesca's has some of the best eggplant parm (available on sandwich, I believe) in the area. If you are looking for a sandwich with table service, Menotomy has some tasty options. I especially enjoyed the tuna burger from there.
re: chevrelove
Francesca's eggplant parm is one of my favorites too. I have had mixed results with other things I have ordered there but the caesar salad is good and if they have their own onion rings (which they don't always, sometimes they serve food service ones) those are good too. Oh and so are the arancini (rice balls) when they have them.
re: grant.cook
LOL, my sentiments, exactly
re: grant.cook
I like the people who work at Jammin, but the coffee and pastries have been significantly downgraded since the change from Carberry's
Wow, thanks for all the great options! I can't believe I'll have a choice of a good sandwich, seafood shack food, or Japanese (my three favorites).
I can't believe Toraya is so close and their lunch specials look cheap. Ditto for Fresh Pond seafood. Madrona Tree looks right up my alley (although I can see how it's a touch pricey) and even Amsterdam falafel is not that far. Add in Nellio's and Francesco's and I might have to spend more time in this area outside of work!
D'Agostino's near Park Ave in Arlington Heights is tops for old school subs and sandwiches made to order - huge, fresh, and outstanding.
Szechuan's Dumpling just past Park Ave has very cheap, very good lunch specials - and you can get Lakota cookies across the street for dessert.
Quebrada Bakery is very good to excellent for cookies and croissants - and their iced coffee is delicious - nearby Barismo has exceptional artisan iced coffee with exceptionally annoying (dis)service.
Toraya can't be beaten for basic Japanese (ever) and their chirashi lunch is an amazing jewel box to behold.
A&A Deli (Mass. Ave. across from Brattle Street) has some tasty and different subs, menu is on their website. Take out only and I'm not sure about ice coffee.
Nourish in Lexington Center doesn't get a lot of play here and had mixed reviews when it opened but I was in there for dinner recently and thought the falafel plate was quite nice. But really nothing beats Amsterdam Falafel, which would be my first choice every time.
There is also Boyle's market on Broadway, I thought I posted this earlier but must have forgot.

Berlin woman sentenced for fatal crash
"The shoulder of the road was about 30 feet wide," Helrich said. "They pulled well off the road, preparing to change the tire when she slammed into the rear of the vehicle."
"The victims did everything right in this case. They pulled off to the safest location on the roadway," Helrich said.
Helrich argued for an 8 ½ to 17 year prison term. Kochaniec received a five to 10 year sentence on the negligent homicide conviction and a 1 to 4 year prison term for aggravated drunken driving. She also received a suspended 3 ½ to 7 year prison term for reckless conduct. The case was investigated by the New Hampshire State Police.

If Ian Astbury had been at the Battle of the Little Big Horn he would have joined the Indians and still have got scalped as a paleface. But that aside, he's the closest mainstream rock 'n' roll has ever come to having a genuine medicine man/shaman character since the demise of the great Jim Morrison. With Choice Of Weapon a lot of the mystical mumbo jumbo that sometimes muddied the message of The Cult's music has been jettisoned for a more leather-arsed, biker-revved rocking approach that suggests that Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy have made up any musical differences. What we get is an entire album cut from the Cult's classic sonic cloth of raindance rhythms, cyclical, driving guitar hooks, and impassioned vocals, but with enough variety—check out the leftfield swoon of anthemic ballad "Life/ Death"—to stop things getting into a rut. The snarl and spit of "For The Animals" and the loose-jointed thunder of "The Wolf" make these stand-out tracks, and suggest that Astbury and Duffy are still channeling big hairy vibes from the place where only the shaman can go.
