What Are Your Favorite Ways to Use a Slow Cooker in the Summer?
Reader Intelligence Request
Last week Sara Kate shared her brilliant recipe for slow cooker pork carnitas — yes, you can go to taco heaven without heating up the kitchen. Earlier this summer we shared other recipes you can make in the slow cooker, which is just the best tool for days when you'd rather be at the park or pool than in the hot kitchen.
We're curious — are there other smart ways you've found to use your slow cooker in the summer? Your morning oatmeal, perhaps? Or sauce for pasta? Do you use it in canning or preserving? Do you cook vegetables in it? Tell us — we'd love to learn all your summer slow cooker secrets.
Why I Listen to Readers of The Kitchn: You Made Me Keep This Slow Cooker Cookbook (and It's Great!)
During The Kitchn Cure, I tackled my cookbook stash, making a pile of books I knew I would never use. I felt good about it, but Kitchn reader mandyh made me take another look after she expressed surprise I was getting rid of one of her favorites, Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook. This time of year, I wake up every day wanting to put something in the slow cooker, so I can come home to a hot meal. I listened to mandyh and cracked it open, and it's getting more food-splattered by the week.
This Slow Cooker Can Be Controlled with Your iPhone
Just imagine: You're out for happy hour drinks with work friends and you realize that you're going to be home two hours later than you anticipated, and your Crock-Pot is bubbling merrily along on HIGH. Is anyone else home yet? Should you rush home, even though the whole point of the slow cooker is that you shouldn't have to do that? Nope. Just use your iPhone.
Introducing the first of surely many more remote-controlled appliances to come: the Crock Pot WeMo Slow Cooker from Belkin.
10 Slow-Cooked Recipes for a Cozy Weekend Indoors
The Kitchn's Best of 2013
As cooks, I feel that we have an inherent understanding of "coziness." It's a cold winter day and a pot in the oven, it's the aromas of roasted meats and vegetables building all afternoon, it's lighting candles and gathering around the table to dig in. This past year brought us a recipe for boeuf bourguignon (doesn't matter if you can't spell it or pronounce it; just make it), along with more recipes for cider-baked beans, chicken enchilada soup, and even a cheesy panade with swiss chard and sausage. Whether a Dutch oven or a crock pot is your slow-cooking mode of choice, we've got ten recipes from 2013 to put it to use.
Ideas for Slow Cooker Appetizers Beyond Meatballs and Dips?
Good Questions
Q: I'm throwing a large Christmas party in my tiny apartment with limited food preparation space. I have a crock pot at my disposal and would love to use it for appetizers, but the only recipes I can find are for Swedish meatballs (which are awesome) or dips. Does anyone have any ideas for other utensil-free crock pot appetizers that can feed a crowd of about 40?

I Rendered Lard in My Slow Cooker, and It Was Easy!
Rendering lard was one of those things I had on my list: big, complicated cooking projects I wanted to try. Months ago, one of my favorite farmers' market vendors offered me a bag of pork fat. Who wouldn't take a free bag of pork fat? He suggested that I try rendering it and I couldn't wait to give it a try.
So why did I leave it in the freezer for so long? I figured I would need a whole day. As it happens, it's a lot easier than that and I can do it right in my slow cooker.

Clean the Slow Cooker by Keeping It Turned On
Tips from The Kitchn
I've seen this scene one too many times: An easy meal (or fruit butter or dessert) in the slow cooker that leaves a not-so-easy cleanup behind.

DENVER (AP) — Winding down a brutal season, the Colorado Rockies ran smack dab into another low point.
Colorado couldn't hold an early six-run advantage, blowing its biggest lead in a loss this season, and fell 12-7 to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
"It was a bad loss," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Two different games really. It wasn't pretty."
Buster Posey accounted for much of the damage, leading the Giants back by homering, doubling twice and driving in four runs.
Posey's solo shot in the sixth keyed a three-run burst as the Giants raced back from a 7-1 deficit to remain on the heels of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. He added a two-run double in a six-run seventh.
Hunter Pence had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 15 games for the Giants.
George Kontos (4-0) kept the Giants in striking distance with 1 2-3 scoreless innings until the bats could heat up.
When they did, the Rockies couldn't cool them off, as starter Jordan Lyles allowed six runs in 6 1-3 innings before giving way to reliever Matt Belisle (4-7), who surrendered another four before being pulled after getting just one out.
"We were pretty efficient early on," Lyles said. "The sixth, I gave up a homer to Posey. I fell behind and I'm not going to walk him there with a six-run lead. I left it right down the middle and he put it in the seats."
Two outs later, Lyles had Andrew Susac down 0-2 before the Giants' catcher connected for a two-run shot, pulling San Francisco to 7-4.
"I just didn't make a good pitch to Susac," Lyles said. "I had a chance to put him away, got ahead of him and I just left one over the plate. He hit it a long way."
A seventh inning that featured five extra-base hits began with pinch-hitter Matt Duffy grounding out. But Lyles then walked Angel Pagan and Joe Panik doubled. Belisle relieved Lyles and promptly was hammered for a two-run double by Posey, an RBI single from Pence, a run-scoring double by Gregor Blanco that gave the Giants the lead, an RBI double from Susac. Nick Masset relieved Belisle and gave up a run-scoring triple to Brandon Crawford.
Josh Rutledge had a two-run triple in the third and DJ LeMahieu followed a two-run homer for the Rockies, who have the worst record in the National League.
Lyles kept the Giants bats at bay with a new grip on his changeup until unraveling in the sixth.
Yusmeiro Petit was hit hard, allowing six runs in four innings but was let off the hook with a no-decision by his team's comeback. The righty shut down the Rockies when he faced them last week.
Giants: OF Michael Morse suffered a strained oblique in batting practice Monday. Manager Bruce Bochy said he expects Morse to return soon.
Rockies: OF Michael Cuddyer (strained left hamstring) said he's healthy and will be ready to come off the disabled list when he's eligible next week. In his down time, Cuddyer said he's drafted four different fantasy football teams.
Giants: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (8-9, 3.73) has given up eight earned runs in 6 1-3 innings against Colorado this season.
Rockies: RHP Christian Bergman (1-2, 5.74) didn't give up a hit until the fifth in his last start at Arizona. He went 5 1-3 innings in a no-decision.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy felt for Weiss having to play half his games in such a hitter friendly park.
"I don't know how Walt does it," Bochy said. "It's a different game."

Escondido, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/12/2014 -- Most dieters are slowly learning that diet change alone may not give them the weight loss results that they desire and they are, instead, ready to begin a fast metabolism diet program enhanced with fat burners, vitamin B and other essential elements and minerals that will help them quickly reach their weight loss goals. Diet Doc's fast metabolism diet plans incorporate many different fat burners, supplements and treatments that target stored body fat, increasing fat metabolism, while actively suppressing cravings for unhealthy foods. And, their new lipo B injections, injections that contain vitamin B12 and three key amino acids, are particularly effective in decreasing fat deposits and speeding up fat metabolism.
For nearly a decade, Diet Doc's unique weight loss protocol has successfully helped dieters across the United States reach a healthy weight and overhaul their weight-related quality of life. Partly why they have been so successful in weight loss endeavors is because they stay on the cutting edge of research and technology and are constantly improving on and updating their fat burners and creating new diets like the fast metabolism diet plan. Unfortunately other, competitor companies refuse to modernize and, instead, use outdated research as the basis for their fat burners and fast metabolism diets. This failure to respond to new scientific research has pushed competitor companies to encourage their customers to severely restrict their caloric intake in order to lose weight. Diet Doc is one of the few remaining protocols that has updated their treatment options by enhancing them with vitamin B and other essential elements, encourage a healthy, average caloric intake of almost double that pushed by other companies and still provide their clients with rapid weight loss results.
While competitor companies are marketing illegal and ineffective homeopathic fat burners, Diet Doc is continuously producing advanced treatments like their lipo B injections. These new fat burners are prescribed by Diet Doc's network of specially trained and licensed physicians after a free and quick phone call from the comfort and privacy of the patient's own home. The high quality components within each treatment enhance the function of the liver and increase the flow and elimination of fat from the body. In addition to vitamin B12, which is essential for forming new, healthy cells, lipo B injections contain amino acids that prevent fatty buildup, metabolize fats and aid in appetite control. And, by including vitamin B12 in these injections, dieters experience a boost in energy, which helps to increase their overall activity levels and improves their fast metabolism diet.
Since creating their exclusive weight loss programs, along with their focused diet plans like the fast metabolism diet, Diet Doc has been able to assist thousands of dieters across the United States in reaching their weight loss goals. And, while dieters across the country should certainly exercise caution in choosing the fast metabolism that is best for them, Diet Doc is one of the few remaining legal, legitimate and effective programs remaining in the United States. Dieters ready to reach their goals with supplements like vitamin B and who are interested in being monitored by a team of weight loss experts only need to make a quick and easy phone call and can begin seeing the results they desire.

Breaking the Barriers: The ATA and Black Tennis Pioneers
Program Locations:
Breaking the Barriers explores the history of the American Tennis Association (ATA), the oldest African-American oriented sport association in the country. It was founded in a time when the United States Tennis Association was not open to African-American participation. The ATA provided the backdrop for the careers of many black players, especially in the first half of the 20th century. Through interviews, photographs and archival video footage, Breaking the Barriers acknowledges the contribution of the ATA toward fostering the careers of black players and it features discussion of many prominent black ATA tennis players. Examining the dynamics of segregation in the sport, Breaking the Barriers shows how the ATA has contributed and continues to contribute to the integration of tennis.

U.S. (Belatedly) Changes Course on Zelaya, Chávez Stays Quiet
The U.S. drops its support for Honduran former president Manuel Zelaya. Hugo Chávez says nothing, a development in itself.
November 10, 2009 - 12:43 am
The October 30 Tegucigalpa-San Jose Accord (translated here), under which the United States and other nations are to recognize the results of the November 29 Honduran elections, was hailed by the U.S. government and by the Organization of American States (OAS) as "as bringing an end to a months-long political crisis."
It seems to have fizzled because former President Manuel Zelaya insisted that he be reinstated before the unity government took office. Under the accord, the unity government took office, as scheduled, on November 5. Zelaya refused to submit his list of participants since he had not been reinstated, and it appears that his partisans will try to disrupt the elections.
The National Congress is to decide the question of Zelaya's reinstatement, but is under no significant pressure — other than protests by the "resistance" — to do so until after the Supreme Court has made its views known, which is consistent with the accord. As reported by Honduran newspaper el Heraldo, President Roberto Micheletti's government "respectfully" called upon the National Congress to "continue its consultations and proceed with its decision on Item 5 of the executive branch of that agreement, whether or not Mr. Zelaya is restored."
The article also reported that:
The Minister of Information and Press, Rene Zepeda, read a statement urging Zelaya to return [to] the agreement to achieve unity and national reconciliation. … The deadline was the weekend, according to Zepeda.
It was also reported that several corruption indictments have been brought against various members of the former Zelaya government. Later in the day on November 7, a negotiator for Zelaya said representatives from the two sides would meet on Saturday to continue the negotiating process:
"We've possibly found a road. There's a pre-agreement, but I don't want to give more details," Jorge Reina, a negotiator for Zelaya, told a local radio station. "There's a new path."
"Micheletti ratified [that] he recognized the importance of a waiting period during the weekend to form the unity and reconciliation government," his office said in a statement.
However, later in the day Zelaya rejected President Micheletti's offer, saying he had "no desire to return to dialogue with those who do not want to talk and really appear [to have] intransigent positions and [be] dishonest." He demanded the intervention of the OAS and observed: "I think he (Hugo Chávez) has made a great effort to help Honduras with PetroCaribe, with Alba and education and health projects. We are very grateful to him."
Begging for some more help, perhaps?
Then, apparently late on the evening of November 7, former Honduran President Rafael Leonardo Callejas is reported to have said (Google translation) that the United States has recognized that the November 29 national election is the way forward to institutional legitimacy. He also said:
"We have seen how the U.S. government, which has been involved and very concerned about the situation in the country, now understands that the way to the institutional legitimacy is elections, and in the process the latest statements convince us it is very clear that the United States government will support elections, and that is something that should give satisfaction to the Honduran people.
"For me the most important [aspect] is to remember that the agreement is signed with the intention of the parties … [it] was signed and it must be implemented," he said. [He] then said the National Party and his party have already determined a position, which is based on the Constitution and laws of the country.
"Obviously, Congress should listen to the different sectors and then act in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic and the laws."
This seems to be a strong hint that since the U.S. government will recognize the elections regardless of whether Zelaya is reinstated, the pressure to reinstate Zelaya is off and two major parties have decided to vote against reinstatement. Unless the Honduran Constitution and laws have changed since June, and they have not, that is the only reading which makes sense to me.
Callejas seemed to be urging Zelaya's faction to respect the accord and to proceed in accordance with it. I have found it interesting that the Honduran press is now quite often referring to "President" Micheletti and "former President" Zelaya.
It seems quite clear that the U.S. government at some point changed its position on the need for Zelaya to be reinstated for the November 29 elections to be recognized.

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note.
Dogfish Head experiments with wild styles and blah, blah, blah, you know the story by now. What you want to know is, how did this latest throw-caution-to-the-wind experiment work out? Sixty-One is their 60 Minute IPA brewed with grape must. ("Must" is the term for grape juice that will be fermented into wine). That's it. That's the whole shtick. Whether or not it works depends on whether or not you like red wine, because while this beer retains the hop character of their popular 60 Minute, the grape must turns it into a new thing entirely. The frothy pink head and light ruby color gives you a hint of what is to come. Sixty-One has the fruity, acidic sweetness of a blush, but the carbonation makes the wine character more akin to a wine cooler. There is a beer somewhere in here, too, with plenty of hop bitterness, but it seems to be fighting to get noticed. It's a puzzling beer that is sure to divide people. Perhaps that's what makes it worth trying. Sixty-One may be available at at Monk's Café, Tria and other establishments.

'Chuck' Co-Creator Chris Fedak on "Season 3.2"
In our wide-ranging talk, Fedak and I talked about how the pickup affected the writing process, how the new dynamic between the characters on the show is playing out, if he fears the energy will fizzle, why Tony Hale wasn't around this year, and if he's confident the show will get a season four.
(Warning: Fedak talked fast, so this is a long interview, with a very minor spoiler near the end. But there's a ton of good info for 'Chuck' fanatics, so read and enjoy!)
At what point in the season did you get the go ahead from NBC to go from thirteen to 19 episodes?
We were actually in the process of writing episode thirteen. So we had to kind of go back into the story a little bit and kind of rejigger things to come up with a modified episode thirteen that has a lot of the big finale components to it, but also, a lot of it for us was (how we were) going to push some of that to the second half of the season.
But really, when it came down to it, we were in a position where we needed to tell more story. Which essentially is to push into what would have been a season four. So really, what we did was, we kind of created two seasons. There was the first half, which was the first thirteen episodes. And then the second side of it is essentially season 3.2.
What made you guys decide to keep that, some of the elements that tied some of the stories up? It felt more like a season finale in that way.
I think that we had constructed the season very tightly, but we knew that we had thirteen episodes. We didn't know if we were going to get a season four or even more, a bigger order, especially considering where we were going to be launching in the year. So when we were looking at that, we had decided, when we were looking at those first thirteen episodes, that well, let's tell the most exciting thirteen stories we can imagine.
And the key part of it was, that we wanted at the very end of the thirteenth episode, we wanted to put Chuck and Sarah together. So that kind of the heart of the season was that romantic component, was the Chuck-Sarah relationship.
There was also the big thing too, which is that we wanted to have Morgan come into Chuck's spy life, because we were really excited by the idea that Chuck needed his Alfred. He needed his Q. He needed his spy assistant. And that Morgan Grimes, in a way, was someone that really would fit really in a kind of fun and interesting way into the show, into the spy side of the show. So we knew we wanted to do those things.
And then when we got the order for six more episodes, all those things were in motion, to the extent that if we had tried to pad out the season and to take Sarah and Chuck getting together and put that at episode 19, I think it would have felt very, it would have felt dramatically unfulfilling.
And I think, and just for us as storytellers, we knew that we needed to have, by episode thirteen, with the story that we were building, with the Shaw character and how he had changed in his arc, and how it affected Chuck and Sarah, that they had to be together at the end of thirteen. And that Chuck, you know, that the first kill, his first spy mission where he would shoot a gun and kill a spy would be tied into that. So all those things had to come together in episode thirteen.
What made you guys decide to not draw out the "Will they/won't they" part of the Chuck-Sarah relationship past that thirteenth episode?
Well I think there's always a degree of neuroses when facing this type of problem. I'm always very anxious about, you know, you're essentially messing with the dynamic of the show, the very core of the show, when you change something up. And we've done that a couple times on our show, and I think that it's always benefited the show. Like Morgan finding out about Chuck's spy life, like Awesome finding out about Chuck's spy life. Or Sarah and Chuck, in a big way, (with) Sarah and Chuck actually now being together as a couple.
But I think there's also the math and science of the "will they/won't they." And I think that the writers, are all fans of television, and we watch way too much of it. And so we kind of understand that we know that there's a shelf life for the "Will they/won't they." And that at a certain point, you have to make a decision of going one way or the other.
But the ace card that we had is that we had two stupendous actors in Yvonnne Strahovski and Zach Levi. They're incredibly funny and charming. And I think the 'shippers or the fans who really are into the relationship side of the show know that deep down, they know that they're great together. And I think that's one of the reasons we wanted to send out our episode fourteen, 'Chuck vs. the Honeymooners,' is because it was great to watch them finally together, and to see just how charming they are as a couple.
One of our readers looked on Epguides and saw that the season finale was entitled 'Chuck vs. the Ring, Part Two.'
Yeah, 'Chuck vs. the Ring part Two.'
That could mean more than one ring. So how permanent is this pairing? Is it in your blood as a writer to feel like you need to see if this is going to be good creatively before you figure out whether they're permanent or whether they're going to break up?
Well, I should say we've actually wrapped on the season. Because of how early we started, we've kind of been, production's always been kind of well ahead of our episodes airing. So the episodes have either been written or shot by the time we've gotten feedback.
I think that we as the producers are super excited by what we've seen for the show, and what we've seen for the Chuck and Sarah relationship, and just how great they are together. I think that from a storytelling perspective, I'm hesitant to promise that the sail off into the sunset and live happily ever after. Because nothing is ever that easy, and especially nothing in television. Nothing in storytelling is ever that easy. There's always going to be challenges.
So I don't have a strong urge to break them up simply to break them up. That wouldn't be fun. I think that would be unfulfilling.
Are you ever worried that Chuck and Sarah are going to fizzle out as a couple? Because the "will they/won't they" tension was the energy that kind of kept the whole show going, in a lot of respects.
I'm afraid of just about everything when it comes to storytelling on television. I have a great deal of anxiety whenever it comes to, you know, how things are going to work. The thing that's always stayed with us is that we have excellent writing and excellent actors who can (pull it off), and we're aware of what's been done before.
I think we're very lucky in the sense that with the first thirteen episodes, we were able to tell a very tightly-knit story for Chuck and Sarah. And that coming into the mix of stuff, going into episode 19, we've actually expanded the show out so it's not like every episode has to be about Chuck and Sarah. We have some spy stories, we have mythology, we have Morgan. And now Morgan and Casey are essentially their own junior spy team. And they're fantastic together. And that's neat.
I think that the important thing for the show is that it's not just one thing. So Chuck and Sarah are definitely very much the heart of the show. Their relationship is something we've been tracking since the pilot. I think that what these next six episodes have allowed us to do is that the relationship is now just one part of it. And with the return of of Scott Bakula as (Chuck's dad) Steven, who's just wonderful when he returns to the show, is that we also get a feel for the bigger story, for the spy story, and how the Bartowski family folds into all this.
Can you give us any indication of how Chuck's dad is going to come back?
Well, I think that you know, Steven J. Bartowski, when he does come into Chuck's life, he's a person who's been involved in the spy world. And when we last saw him, he had spent an incredible amount of time trying to get the Intersect out of his son's head. And much of what we're going to be dealing with coming up is that Chuck's now decided to be a spy. And that decision, in episode 22 last season when he uploaded the Intersect 2.0 to save Sarah and Casey and to be a hero, that's very much what this season is about. And the next few episodes will be dealing with the ramifications of that.
Is it good to have a neophyte spy with Morgan being on board? Because Chuck's not really that way anymore, now that he's got the Intersect 2.0 in him and he can do a lot of stuff he couldn't do.
Well, I think two things. One, I would say is that Chuck is always going to be Chuck Bartowski. It's important to the show and I think it's also so much a part about how Zach imbues Chuck with kind of a regular guy (vibe) and that's a part of the show.
But you're absolutely right. What's been great for us this season is that bringing Morgan into the spy world with another person, another newbie, kind of a virgin to the spy world, who becomes our eyes and sometimes our voice for how incredible the spy world is, and how whackadoodle it can be. It needs to have another person. And Josh Gomez (who plays Morgan), last season when we were talking about season three, he was just so excited to kind of be able to be the new audience, to be the new kind of fish out of water in the spy world.
How were you able to get around the lower budget from a creative aspect? There were episodes where not every cast member was around. Will we kind of see more of the whole crew, especially the Buy More crew in the next six episodes?
Well you're certainly going to see the Buy More crew in the next six episodes. They're so very much a part of the show, and I agree, this season we did have to parse out our episodes a little differently so that, you know we had to essentially tell the story in such a way that we wouldn't have everybody in every episode.
However, when we do have the whole cast in an episode, it's just that much greater. So we are going to have more of the Buy More the next six episodes. The one thing (the lower budget) did allow us to do is that when we had to focus on one specific (group), be it Ellie and Awesome, or the Buy More, it allowed us to spend more time with them in those episodes. But yeah, but it was certainly a challenge.
Are we going to see more guest Buy More employees, like you had with Michael Strahan? I've seen a couple of guest shots here and there, but we haven't seen the guest shots to the degree we saw last year.
You know, it's funny, I think actually if we were actually to compare both seasons, I think it would be comparable, the number of guest stars between the two seasons. But I would love to do more stories with like Michael Strahan coming to the Buy More like last season. We have Julia Ling returning to the show, which is great. And that's a part of the Buy More story.
We actually really enjoy bringing guest stars onto the show. It's just going back to the idea that we all love television. You know, we grew up on shows like 'Fantasy Island' and 'Love Boat,' so the idea of bringing in guest stars, we're not against the idea. And if we offer to bring in stars that people kind of have an idea of who they are, we can play with that idea. Either make them villainous, or make them funny, or make them scary.
There's another new component to the show, that when we bring in someone who's funny, like Andy Richter, or Diedrich Bader from episode nine of this season, is if people who are funny, and when they play a villainous part, it's really neat to see them sink their teeth...especially their comic chops. They can really find interesting and dark things to do with our villain characters. And that's been kind of a neat thing for the show, and I'd love to do more of that.
Speaking of villains, I heard a rumor that Tony Hale might be on his way back to the show as Milbarge?
That would have to be a rumor at the moment. But I would love to figure out a way to bring Tony Hale back to the show. We killed him in episode one of this year, and Emmett Milbarge certainly took a bullet to the head. It's gonna require a great deal of math and science to conceive a way of getting him back to the show. But we have spent a lot of time thinking about it, because he's just so wonderful. Tony Hale is fantastic. Every day I can't believe we actually killed him. So it's something I think about quite a bit.
What went into you guys deciding OK, we're going to kill Milbarge?
Well, there was certainly the budget issue. That was certainly something we had to deal with early on in the season. Because it was a story we set up and we just had... it was just... so there was the budget. And the second part of it was that (in) this season of 'Chuck,' we wanted to surprise people. Because we've taken the show and we've really tested the bounds of the show by kind of pushing Chuck into the spy world, by having him want to be a spy, and what that means. Essentially, does he have the mettle to do this?
So we knew we were going to be going through some interesting and different places that people wouldn't expect. And so with Milbarge's death in episode one, it was a shocking moment (where) we kind of wanted to (say) that this is a show that no one is safe. That was really exciting and unsettling, but also, it showed just what a game-changing season this would be for Chuck. I have to use "game-changing" at least once in an interview.
Because you figure it just encapsulates things so perfectly?
I just always find myself using the term "game-changer." I think I'm going to have to remove it from my vocabulary entirely. So I apologize.
How confident are you now, this year, compared to last year at this time, that NBC's going to be picking up the show for another season?
You know, in truth, I know just as much as you do. We've got a great season. We have an excellent relationship with NBC, and with the studio. But in the end, it's just, I just don't know. I don't have any inside information. We're of course working on season four, and ideas for season four, that are kind of amazing and fun, and I'm really super stoked about telling that story. But when it comes to the TV goddess, I just say I don't know how to read the tea leaves all that well.
So you didn't read into any of the stuff that was going on with NBC and Leno and Conan, and all the openings that they suddenly had for dramas and hour-long shows in January?
I think that right now, the most important thing for our show is just that, these next six episodes, that when we come back with 'Chuck vs. the Honeymooners,' is just trying to get as many people to watch the show live as (we) possibly can. And anything else is really just speculation.
What do you guys think of that Monday time slot? Do you guys wish that you were a little bit free of that log jam on Mondays, or are you just happy that you're on the air no matter where?
Well, I would say the most important thing is yeah, we're most excited just to be on the air. To have our spot, and to have our audience. We do seem to have like a very loyal audience on a very competitive night. But it is an incredible night for television. Eight o'clock on Monday night is a very tough spot. But we have our loyal viewers. And that means a lot to us.
If you had the opportunity to sit down Monday at 8, and 'Chuck' wasn't on -- I don't know if you watch 'Chuck' when it's on, because you're so involved in it...
I actually still do. I actually still do watch the show. I watch it when it's on the air. I watch it live. It's kind of like the last moment to experience it with my wife and my kid.
Do you clue them in on what's going to happen in the episode beforehand?
You know, it's funny. My wife, used to be, back in the day, she would want all the spoilers and what we were going to do. But she much more just enjoys watching the show, real time, and having the surprises come surprise her. My daughter is only eleven months old, so she's not... we're lucky if she's not just vomiting on me or something along those lines.
If you weren't watching 'Chuck,' what show would you be watching at eight o'clock on Monday?
I would be watching the channel that I would imagine 'Chuck' (is) on. But Monday night at 8:00, it's all great television. And as a superfan of television, I watch everything. So I'm, yeah, I think first and foremost, I would watch 'Chuck,' but you know, I'm certainly a fan of all the other shows on, you know, Monday, and throughout the week.
By the way, if you guys do get picked up, I guess we'll see you again at Comic-Con? Is there a shot of that?
Absolutely. We loved Comic-Con. We did it our first season with the pilot, and people went kind of crazy for it, and it was wonderful. And I think that yeah, if we get picked up, we would certainly be back at ComiCon, and we certainly would try to come up with something crazy to do this year as well.
Jeffster acoustic was good. I liked them a lot in the episode coming back. I thought that was excellent.
Oh great! Yeah, Jeffster's certainly a part of the rest of the season. Vik (Sahay) and Scott (Krinsky) are wonderful.
I think bagpipes for them might be next. That might work.
Bagpipes, interesting. Actually, yes, Jeffster also factors very importantly into our season finale, so I hope you dig it.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh scored the game winning touchdown for the Ravens when they played the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but the veteran wide receiver still is not satisfied with his role on the team.
Houshmandzadeh currently has five receptions in Baltimore's four games, but he claims that the Ravens indicated he would have around 50-60 receptions over the course of the entire season.
"For me, I knew coming in what I was getting myself into," Houshmandzadeh told the Baltimore Sun. "But I believe in myself. So the belief in myself said once they see me, things will change. We'll see if that holds to be true."
Houshmandzadeh said that he has never approached either offensive coordinator Cam Cameron nor starting quarterback Joe Flacco about his concerns, but he is still saddened by his role on the team's offense.
"Q [Anquan Boldin] is going to be happy. That's just the reality of it," Houshmandzadeh said. "Q and [tight end Todd] Heap, they're going to get their balls. They brought Q in, they gave up draft picks and gave him a nice contract. They're going to find ways to get him the ball. I can appreciate that because I thought that's what I was getting [in Seattle]. I wish it was me. But it's not.

It took the Elmbrook School Board barely 30 minutes to take a second official look and unanimously approve the 2012-13 budget that proposes a 2.07 percent decrease in spending, a slight decrease in the tax rate and a minimal salary increase for all staff.
The next step is a budget hearing and annual meeting, to be held Sept. 24.
Spending is expected to decrease from $81 million this year to $79.3 million in 2012-13, and preliminary estimates show the tax rate dropping from the current $10.03 per $1,000 of equalized value to $9.97 per $1,000 of equalized valuation.
Salary adjustments
Since first presenting the budget April 17, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Keith Brightman noted a change in the original salary projections. Originally providing a 1.1 percent across-the-board increase, the budget now reflects a 0.80 percent increase with $135,000 shifted to fund a stipend for those staff who obtain advanced degrees.
The stipends, begun this year, are a substitute for the previous salary "lane-change" procedure that recognized those who obtained credits and degrees with additional pay.
Necessary cuts
Two proposed expenditure decreases for next year include $1.26 million from closing Hillside Elementary School, and $650,000 achieved by redesigning the district health plan.
Brightman noted that the relatively smooth budget process this year was due primarily to those cuts. He also noted that the salary increase, while smaller than first expected, is larger than the original projection of 0.045 percent.
It all came down to, he said, the significant decrease in state aid and the ability for the district to manage salaries and benefits - still representing more than 80 percent of the district's operating costs.
"We wanted to increase salaries from the first original projection so that we could approach maintaining a good relationship with our staff and stay competitive," he said.
Future compensation will be influenced by an expectation of a statewide pay-for-performance program set by the Department of Public Instruction, but no timetable has been set for that action.
Also preserved are relatively stable class sizes, ranging from 25 in the lowest grades to 30 in middle and high schools.
Budget assumptions include not spending from reserves as a long-term strategy, exploring grants and private-sector funding to increase non-property tax revenues and spending between $400,000 and $500,000 to upgrade facilities in the current fiscal year.
In his executive summary to the board, Brightman noted that Elmbrook, like all other Wisconsin school districts, has been under imposed "revenue caps" for the past 19 years. District leaders, he said, has successfully changed how the district operated.
Board members said they were satisfied with the budget outcome.
"I think it's safe to say that this has been a good process in an unprecedented year," Board President Tom Gehl said.

About Yitzhak Rachamim Navon, 5th. President of Israel
Yitzhak Navon, 5th President of Israel
Yitzhak Navon (Hebrew: יצחק נבון, born 9 April 1921) is an Israeli politician, diplomat and author who served as the fifth President of Israel between 1978 and 1982 as a member of the center-left Alignment party. He was the first Israeli president to be born in Jerusalem, then within the British Mandate for Palestine, and the first not to have been born in and made aliyah from the Russian Empire.
Personal life
Born in Jerusalem, Navon is a multilingual descendant of a Sephardi family of rabbis. On his father's side, he is descended from Spanish Jews who settled in Turkey after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. The family (Baruch Mizrahi family or Al Mashraki) moved to Jerusalem in 1670. On his mother's side, he is descended from the renowned kabbalist Haim Ben Attar. The Ben-Atar family came from Morocco to Jerusalem in 1884. Navon studied Hebrew literature and Islamic studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After serving in the Haganah in Jerusalem, he was sent by the Israeli foreign service to Uruguay and Argentina.
Political career
In 1951, Navon became the political secretary of Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion. The following year he was appointed Ben-Gurion's bureau chief. He remained in this position under Prime Minister Moshe Sharett. In 1963, he became a department head at the Ministry of Education and Culture. Two years later, Navon was elected to the Knesset as a member of Ben-Gurion's Rafi, which merged into the Israeli Labor Party (part of the Alignment) in 1968. Navon served as deputy speaker of the Knesset and chairman of the Knesset Committee on Foreign and Defense Affairs.
In 1978, at the age of 57, Yitzhak Navon was elected fifth President of the State of Israel. There was no other candidates and Navon received 86 votes in the 120-member Knesset with 23 members casting blank votes. He was noticeably younger than his predecessors, bringing to the President's residence his wife and two relatively young children - which changed the atmosphere of the official Presidential home.
Yitzhak Navon served during a period of heightened political, social and ethnic polarization, public controversy over the withdrawal from Sinai and the evacuation of Jewish settlements there, and the 1982 war in Lebanon.
During his Presidency, he strove to act as a bridge between Israel's ethnic groups, religious and secular, Sephardim and Ashkenazim, left and right, Jews and Arabs. Striving to draw those on the periphery into the mainstream of Israeli life, he visited neglected settlements and disadvantaged urban neighborhoods, encouraging community self-confidence. Navon's warmth and diplomacy and the prestige of his office did much to defuse a potentially explosive situation on the eve of the withdrawal from Sinai. He also opened the President's residence to writers and performers from across the cultural spectrum.
One of the highlights of his term of office was his state visit to Egypt in 1980 at the invitation of President Anwar Sadat. He impressed his hosts with his eloquent Arabic, breaking the ice and demolishing stereotypes of Israelis and Jews as a "foreign element" to the region. He also paid an state visit to the United States, at the invitation of President Reagan.
While most of his energies were channeled to promoting harmony and consensus-building in a time of social and political tension, Yitzhak Navon was the first Israeli President to depart from the ceremonial role of the Presidency prescribed by law. Taking a public stand on a controversial political issue and indirectly criticizing the government, Navon called for the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry on the events in Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon, when Christian Phalangist forces massacred Muslim refugees in an area under Israeli control. This was an act that has ushered in an era of a more "political" Presidency.
In 1983, Navon turned down the opportunity to run for a second term of office. Instead he returned to politics, the first and only Israeli ex-president to do so. When the polls showed that Navon was more popular than Labor chairman Shimon Peres, Peres was pressured to step aside and allow Navon to take over the party leadership. Navon's fluency in the Arabic language made him especially popular among Arab and Mizrahi voters. But Navon did not accept the chairmanship. In 1984, he was elected to the Knesset and served as minister of education and culture from 1984 to 1990. He remained in the Knesset until 1992, after which he left politics.
He was one of the architects who planned the events marking the 500th anniversary of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, and signed the first cultural agreement between Israel and Spain.
He now serves as chairman of the National Authority for Ladino, Neot Kedumim (a biblical landscape reserve), the Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music and Dance, and as honorary chairman of the Abraham Fund for the promotion of coexistence between Jews and Arabs in Israel.
Mr. Navon is the father of a daughter, Na'ama, and a son, Erez. His wife, Ofira, who died of cancer in 1993, was a clinical psychologist.
Literary output
Navon wrote two musicals, which were successfully performed at Habimah, Israel's national theater in Tel Aviv. He is also the author of "The Six Days and the Seven Gates" (1979), a modern legend of the reunification of Jerusalem, first published in Hebrew by "Shikmonah" Publishing Company, later translated into English.

Fifty patients will be enrolled into the study. The purpose of the study is to investigate the relevance of Hct levels in determining need for transfusion during operations employing bypass as well as to test the hypothesis that, while HCt levels may decrease during surgery , red blood cell mass and tissue oxygenation remain fairly constant.

Fifty adults( male or female-nonpregnant) whose weight is between 55-85 kg and are scheduled to undergo elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass for CABG or primary valve repair or replacement will be eligible. Patients with any history of abnormal bleeding disorders, urgent or emergent need for surgery, and combination surgeries will be excluded. Blood volume analysis will be performed with the DAXOR Blood Volume Analyzer BVA-100 System and the Volumex HSA I-131 radiopharmaceutical for use for determining circulating volume. Multiple timed sample points will be obtained. The DAXOR blood volume analyzer will batch samples and with input of patients height, weight, gender, time of draw, and corresponding Hct, calculate circulating total blood volume. We hypothesize that Total red cell mass is relatively well conserved( <20% decrease) during and immediately after surgery as long as major bleeding does not occur. We hypothesize that decrease in Hct during surgery are related to changes in circulating plasma volume. Total red cell O2 carrying capacity and O2 economics will be measured and it is also hypothesized that lowered Hct values, even as low as 15%, do not independently signal a tissue or whole body O2 deficit.

A decade ago, synthetic marijuana hit shelves at skate and head shops with two big advantages over real grass: It was legal and it wouldn't show up in drug tests. A decade later, fake pot could get you in more trouble than real pot in Oregon, yet remains widely available.
Synthetic marijuana, made by infusing dried herbs with lab-synthesized compounds that replicate the chemicals in marijuana, was originally sold as a legal alternative to real weed for the law-biding and urine-test-fearing. Lawmakers, including the Oregon Legislature, got wise and changed laws to target fake pot. Testing labs have also caught up.
Yet the drug is still popular among teenagers. As many as 80 percent of the minors at De Paul Treatment Centers' youth facility have used synthetic pot, says drug counselor Charles Dickerman. "They feel they are less likely to be caught [than if they used marijuana]," he says.
That notion dates back to the early days of fake pot, when brands like "Spice" and "Kush" took off. Governments responded by making it illegal. The federal government banned the five most common brands, including Spice. Oregon went further, banning any chemical formula the state's chemists thought could be used as synthetic pot, plus "any other cannabinoid receptor agonist." Basically, that means any compound producing a marijuanalike high.
If you're caught with synthetic marijuana, it's a felony, just like having meth or heroin. That means mandatory jail time. Meanwhile, Oregon reduced penalties for actual cannabis. Now, less than an ounce of pot will get you a fine of as little as $500. That's equal to the penalty for tossing a cigarette out a car window.
In reality, though, you'll have little trouble buying synthetic pot. WW stopped by two Portland smoke shops asking for Spice. We were offered chemicals with names like "Potpourri" ("People say it's great stuff") and "Sashay" ("Same kind of thing").
How is that possible? Turns out, the Chinese, Indian and Eastern European companies making the drugs move faster than the government, constantly tweaking their formulas to create new chemicals with similar effects. Even though Oregon's law is sweeping, police don't know something is banned unless a lab tests it.
More than 300 different chemicals are used as fake marijuana, says Keith Maxey, who tests the substances for Michigan-based Cayman Chemical. Having so many chemicals can be dangerous to smokers, though. The chemicals are not tested in humans, and police have blamed the stuff in cases of kidney failure, which can't be caused by pot.
Synthetic smokers can now be busted by urine analysis labs, says Terry Johnson, owner of ARCpoint Labs in Vancouver. ARCpoint can test for 11 different kinds of chemicals, and Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties all test parolees for the substances.
The synthetic stuff
also doesn't have much love among legalization advocates. Paul Stanford,
a leading legalization advocates, said it's "unfortunate" that head
shops sell synthetic cannabis. "I wish those people that sell pipes
wouldn't do that," he said. "That's unethical."

Pyrat Rum Launches New Consumer Awareness Effort
LAS VEGAS – Encouraging consumers to "follow their path to enlightenment," a new interactive website created for ultra-premium Pyrat rum gives people an opportunity to experience the brand and learn more about this mystifying Caribbean spirit.
The new site (www.pyratrum.com) marks the first time that The Patrón Spirits Company, worldwide marketer of Pyrat rum, has created a consumer-focused brand campaign to support this high-end spirit. Trade-focused print advertisements for Pyrat, "the enlightened ultra-premium dark rum," also began appearing in 2008 in beverage alcohol trade publications.
"Rum was one of the top growth categories in the spirits industry last year, up 3 percent from 2007," said Matt Carroll, chief marketing officer at Patrón Spirits International. "As the popularity of rum continues to increase, we see great potential for more people to discover and enjoy our portfolio of ultra-premium Pyrat rums."
After first engaging site visitors with questions that encourage them to "discover the depths of their own social enlightenment," site users are then led into the "Hoti's Den" (the iconic "Hoti" figure is the Zen patron saint and protector of fortune tellers and bartenders found on the medallions that have long adorned bottles of Pyrat rum). Once inside, people can find interactive and engaging flash components that include cocktail recipes, the history of Pyrat rums, a newsletter opt-in, and an entertaining quiz to determine just how socially enlightened they are ("the socially enlightened never turn down an invitation to a cocktail party," the site reminds people.)
"Pyrat rums have developed quite a following among people who not only enjoy ultra-premium dark rum, but who also enjoy the brand's unique persona and heritage," added Carroll. "Creating this website allowed us to really dig deep into what makes this rum so special, and tell the story of why Pyrat is truly so exceptional."
The site was created by Click Here, the interactive branding unit of Dallas-based independent The Richards Group.
In addition to the new website, The Patrón Spirits Company has been building consumer awareness for Pyrat through sampling and innovative cocktail creations at high-profile events throughout the country.
Pyrat rums are characterized by their toasted apricot taste and amber color, and are smooth and gentle on the palate, not heavy or harsh. Pyrat rums are delicious in a snifter with a small amount of ice and a lemon twist, or mixed in a cocktail. The Pyrat portfolio includes Pyrat Cask 1623, Pyrat XO Reserve and Pyrat Pistol. Similar in color and body to a rare cognac, Pyrat Cask 1623 is a limited production, very fine aged dark amber rum which takes its name from the year that rums first began being distilled in the Caribbean. Pyrat XO Reserve is a blend of rums, some aged as much as 15 years, that are perfectly balanced to produce an exceptionally elegant, smooth and delicious medium body rum. The Pyrat Pistol blend is similar in flavor to the ultra-premium Pyrat XO Reserve, though slightly lighter in body.
In addition to Pyrat, The Patrón Spirits Company's portfolio also includes the Patrón line of ultra-premium tequilas, Gran Patrón Burdeos, Gran Patrón Platinum, Patrón Silver, Patrón Añejo, Patrón Reposado, Patrón XO Cafe (tequila and coffee liqueur), Patrón Citrónge (fine orange liqueur), and Ultimat ultra-premium Polish vodka. For more information about the Patrón Spirits portfolio, please visit www.patronspirits.com.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel firstname.lastname@example.com The county plans to introduce "Clayton on the Move," a program designed to encourage employees to use the county's recreational facilities to exercise during their lunch hour. For taking an extra half-hour to exercise, employees are expected to come into work 30 minutes early, or stay 30 minutes later. The reward -- other than improved personal fitness -- is keeping the county's insurance premiums from skyrocketing, says Katherine Dodson, director of Clayton County Risk Management. Dodson said, nationally, the cost of health care rose by 11 percent last year. This year, the insurance premiums for the county's self-funded employee medical plans will increase by six percent, about $450,000, with $350,000 paid by the county and $100,000 paid by employees. Last June, the Clayton County government created the lifestyle management plan -- a self-funded health insurance option for employees not interested in the county's Kaiser Permanente HMO coverage. While allowing employees to choose their own health care providers, the new plan required employees to undergo a risk assessment which checked for diabetes and a history of smoking, and also measured weight, body fat, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. "Out of those participants, 80 percent of those on the Lifestyle plan were obese, or overweight," said Dodson. "We definitely do have a weight problem in the county that needs to be addressed ... because it contributes to other health problems. Until you really attack the things that are causing health care visits, we can't reduce health care costs. "If the same medical costs incurred this year [are] incurred next year, then we would need a 12 percent premium," to insure all of the employees in the lifestyle management plan, Dodson continued. "With a six percent increase ... we're kind of betting that they are going to get healthier instead of us having to increase it." In addition to contracted nurses working one-on-one with employees to reduce their risk factors, the county also plans to host a series of "Lunch and Learns" in which employees will be able to have a healthy lunch with a nutritionist who will share recipes and healthy living tips. "You can't address [weight problems] from a corporate standpoint," said Dodson. "You have to do it on an individual basis ... if we are flexible, it might help them a great deal."

Care home review calls for greater scrutiny of sector
The independent chairman of the Serious Case Review into a Southern Cross run care home said he supported calls for an independent care home sector to be placed under the same as care under the NHS.
Publishing the findings of the review, Nick Georgiou said:
"A number of the concerns identified in the recent past with hospital services in the NHS have been echoed at Orchid View and it is right that the scrutiny and demands for improvement in the NHS are also expected from the independent sector.
"As a result of the concerns about the NHS there have been recent government consultations relating to a duty of candour, the fit and proper person test, and a new offence of wilful neglect where people have mental capacity.
"This Serious Case Review wholeheartedly supports them being applied to independent sector businesses and organisations.
"As the role of independent sector care businesses has grown, the number, frailty and vulnerability of people dependent on their care has increased.
It is critically important that these services demonstrate that they can provide the quality of care necessary. In this case the service provider failed."
Families of Orchid View residents welcome serious case review
Expert lawyers and families whose loved ones endured 'institutionalised abuse' at a Sussex care home welcomed the Serious Case Review published today as a step forward for the care industry but warned that its recommendations must now be delivered to prevent further widespread abuse.
West Sussex Adult Safeguarding Board commissioned the review after an inquest into the deaths of 19 residents at Orchid View Care home in Copthorne but some of the families of those who died say they are frustrated at a continued lack of accountability for the neglect their loved ones suffered.
The home closed in October 2011 and re-opened under new management in February 2012 as Francis Court but lawyers are concerned that in October last year the new home was also criticised after a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection.

Health care inspectorate: 'Lessons will be learned'
Health and social care inspectorate body the Care Quality Commission said they were "appalled" by the Serious Case Review into the deaths of five residents of Orchard View care home, and admitted they did not act quickly enough.
They were criticised by the coroners report into the death for giving the home a "good" rating a year before shutting it down.
Chief Inspector Andrea Sutcliffe said the blame for the "sub-optimal" care lay with those working in the home.
Ms Sutcliffe admitted the Care Quality Commission missed early warning signs, and did not act quickly or strongly enough. She said:

Serious Case Review into "Britain's worst care home"
A Serious Case Review will be published today after five elderly people died after suffering neglect at Orchid View care home in Sussex. It's been labelled "Britain's worst care home".
Following a five-week inquest last October, coroner Penelope Schofield heavily criticised the quality of care at the Southern Cross-run home in Copthorne. Failings included a lack of respect for the dignity of residents, poor nutrition and hydration and mismanagement of medication.
Ms Schofield said at the inquest's conclusion, "There was institutionalised abuse throughout the home...Those who did nothing or turned a blind eye should be ashamed. It is disgraceful that this home was allowed to be run in the way it did and run for nearly two years."
The inquest looked at the deaths of 19 pensioners at Orchid View after whistleblower Lisa Martin contacted police to raise concerns. The coroner ruled all of these residents suffered "sub-optimal" care but five of the residents died from natural causes "which had been attributed to by neglect".
The home was shut down in late 2011 after an investigation by the CQC.
Serious case review into West Sussex care home
A serious case review will be published today into why a number of residents died at a care home in Sussex.
The review looked into whether Orchid View in Copthorne neglected residents, which in turn resulted in their deaths.
Families of those who died will meet with the review chairman.
Manager at Orchid View denies tampering with records
A manager of a care home at the centre of neglect allegations has denied telling a colleague to shred a residents medical records. An inquest is investigating the deaths of 19 elderly people at the Orchid View home at Copthorne in Sussex.
The court has heard that one resident had been given three times the correct dose of medication. It is alleged her notes were later tampered with. Malcolm Shaw reports.
Woman arrested after death in care home
A woman has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence by police investigating the death of an 89-year-old West Sussex care home resident.
The 44-year-old suspect, from Tunbridge Wells, was held by detectives examining suspected neglect at Orchid View care home in Copthorne.
The arrest relates to the death in May 2010 of Jean Halfpenny who was a resident at the home. The woman who was arrested is in police custody at an undisclosed location.
Sussex Police launched an inquiry last year into alleged neglect at Orchid View, which has since closed and reopened under a new name and new management.

STILLWATER — Clint Chelf admits he recently took time to think back on his improbable road this season from Oklahoma State's third-team quarterback to the stretch run starter.
Oklahoma State football: Quarterback Clint Chelf reflects on his path from third-team to bowl starter
The next step in that journey will be taking the first snap in the Heart of Dallas Bowl against Purdue on Jan. 1. And he will be directing an offense that recently lost its coordinator, Todd Monken.
Chelf talked with The Oklahoman last week about how Monken delivered the news he was leaving to the Cowboy quarterbacks, his favorite moment this season and how his family's Christmas festivities always featured a Bedlam twist.
The early bowl practices often allow a team to work on itself, rather than prepare for an opponent. How have those been going so far?
"It's going good. We went back and looked at the last two games and what we did wrong and tried to correct those mistakes and get better. And then after that was done, we started focusing on Purdue. They're a good team, and so we've got a lot of work to do left and we've got a lot of practicing to do."
How did you find out Monken was leaving to become the head coach at Southern Miss?
"He called us in the day before (he left) and just told us. He's a matter-of-fact guy, so he just said, 'Guys, I've taken the job.' We kind of understood. It was our day off when he called the meeting, so we kind of knew something was up."
Were you surprised at all by the announcement?
"We know what kind of business it is. We know the best way for his family was for him to take a head coaching job and further his career. We all kind of understood that, and we all know he's a great coach and he'll do well down there."
Head coach Mike Gundy also interviewed with other schools. What's the coaching carousel like for players?
"We just understand that coaches have to do what's best. When you win games, that's going to happen, they're going to talk to your coaches. We all know that we have another game left and for us, as players, we just have to go out and keep practicing, keep performing and help the team win."
Do you take it as a compliment that other schools want to talk with — and hire — your coaches?
"Exactly. That's what Coach Monken told us. He said if we didn't score any points and didn't win games, he wouldn't be looking for other head coaching jobs. He'd probably get fired. So he's very grateful for that, and we're very grateful to have had him."
