(Edited press release)
The Breeders' Cup and the Oak Tree Racing Association have announced that the Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge, a two-day handicapping tournament, will take place during the 2009 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Santa Anita Park on Nov. 6-7.
The winner of this year's event can take home more than $100,000. Each participant will receive a free VIP ticket to the Championships and have a private seating area at the track that will feature complimentary food and beverage.
The contest is limited to the first 100 players who enter; the buy-in to participate is $10,000. Of the initial $10,000 bankroll, $2,500 is applied toward the prize money pool and $7,500 is for betting. At the conclusion of the tournament, any dollar amount remaining in the bankroll remains the property of the player.
The Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge also will offer the top six players the opportunity to qualify for the 2010 DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship, to be held at the Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa in Las Vegas in January. Each NHC qualifier also will earn $1,000 toward his or her travel expenses for Las Vegas.
A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to confirm entry into the Betting Challenge, and the
deposit will be credited as part of each player's bankroll. The remainder of the $10,000 bankroll is due by Nov. 1, 2009. Contestants may enter at the following link http://www.santaanita.com/content/bcbc.
"We continue to seek innovative ways to focus on the avid horseplayer since the Breeders' Cup features the best betting days in racing," said Kenneth Kirchner, president of FalKirk International and wagering consultant to the Breeders' Cup. "The Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge will give horseplayers another exciting way to win big money on the Championships."
"We've had a good run with handicapping contests during the Santa Anita meet, but this takes it to another level," said Allen Gutterman, vice president of marketing for Santa Anita and Oak Tree.
Prize money for the Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge will be awarded to the top 10 finishers. Based upon 100 entries, prize money will be $275,000 ($2,500 per player and $25,000 added). Oak Tree and Breeders' Cup are seeking additional sources for added money to the prize pool. The prize money breakdown is as follows:
1st - $150,000; 2nd - $50,000; 3rd - $25,000; 4th - $15,000; 5th - $10,000; 6th to 10th - $5,000
Tournament races will include only races from Oak Tree at Santa Anita Park on Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, including all 14 Breeders' Cup Championships races. Wager types to be permitted are win, place, show, exacta and trifecta. No bets on Superfecta, Super High-5 and multi-race bets will be allowed as part of the Challenge.

Now and Again (1999–2000)
Michael Wiseman: Can I fly?
Dr. Theodore Morris: What?
Michael Wiseman: Can I fly? You know, like, uh, Superman?
Dr. Theodore Morris: Mr. Wiseman, over the past 6 months we've performed a complicated series of operations. I'm tempted to call them transplants, but in truth, there is no "you" to transplant them to. Let's call them operations. In fact, let's agree that you have been the recipient of some of the most sophisticated surgical thinking and practice in the history of medicine. In addition, you have been inoculated with and intravenously fed over 700 highly experimental and, I believe extraordinarily promising hormones, steroids and vaccines that also were developed uniquely for you in this project. Now I mention all that because, and I'm embarrassed to admit it, that in the midst of all those surgeries, all those implant procedures, all the beta trials, tests, failures and successes... it just never occurred to any of us to shove a rocket up your ass.
Dr. Theodore Morris: You're dead, my friend... and you're just going to have to live with that.
Dr. Theodore Morris: You're stronger than any man on the planet. You're faster than any man on the planet and, theoretically at least, if something should happen to you I could, if I had a couple of billion dollars and a new brain build another unit to replace you.
Michael Wiseman: Ah, you're just saying that to make me feel better.
Michael Wiseman: I'm not what you think I am.
Lisa Wiseman: What do you think I think you are?
Michael Wiseman: I don't know... but you have to be wondering.
Lisa Wiseman: Oh. Well, maybe a year ago, I would have wondered. No, a year ago, I would've known. A year ago, I would've run away... but I have had one of those years where everything that you count on... none of it works out the way that you think that it's going to. None of it... happens the way that you planned.
Michael Wiseman: Like what?
Lisa Wiseman: Everything. Gravity. So, I look at you, and I-I-I don't know. I-I sense something. I, uh, feel something, uh... familiar.
Dr. Theodore Morris: Oh, yes. If you sass my Grandma Pearl tomorrow I will personally open up the stitches in the back of your skull and pull whatever's left of your personality out. Do you understand me?
Michael Wiseman: I'll make you proud, Doc.
Dr. Theodore Morris: You'd better.
Heather Wiseman: Hey, you guys are in the government, right? Aren't you, like, packing? 'Cause if you are, now would be a good time to pull out your heaters and throw down.
Dr. Theodore Morris: We are I.R.S. agents. We do not pack.
Lisa Schleigelmilch Wiseman: Well, do something. For goodness sake. Threaten them with an audit.
[rehearsing a cover story]
Michael Wiseman: You heard of my company? Dominatrix-pizza.com? You place your order and then people in leather deliver your food, slap you around if you don't give them a big enough tip. I just made that last part up. We don't have to use it.
Dr. Theodore Morris: We're not going to use it.
Michael Wiseman: What do you think of pizza-dungeon.com?
Dr. Theodore Morris: I don't even want to know.
Michael Wiseman: Something is amiss. I don't smell bacon. Now, isn't there a law in the state of New York where it can't be called breakfast unless there's bacon or sausage or some sort of fried meat?
Dr. Theodore Morris: Mr. Wiseman? Why are you staring at the pigeons?
Michael Wiseman: I'm jealous. That bread looks awfully good to me.
Dr. Theodore Morris: I know you kissed her that day down in the subway.
Michael Wiseman: Yeah, so? She's my wife.
Dr. Theodore Morris: Not anymore, Mr. Wiseman. Not anymore.
Michael Wiseman: What are you trying to say?
Dr. Theodore Morris: No turkey. No stuffing. No pie. No nooky. Happy Thanksgiving.
Narrator: [opening narration] An ordinary man - insurance executive, 45 years old - stumbles to his death on a subway platform in New York City. Or does he? Unbeknownst to his wife or child, his brain is rescued from the accident scene by a secret branch of the United States Government and put into the body of an artificially produced 26-year-old man with the strength of Superman, the speed of Michael Jordan, and the grace of Fred Astaire. The only catch: under penalty of death he can never let anyone from his past know he is still alive. And that, my friends, is a problem... for this man is desperately in love with his wife, his daughter, and his former life.
Michael Wiseman: Can we discuss this, please? Guy to guy? Man to man? Science fair project to scientist?
Lisa Wiseman: Stop saying my name like you've known me for a million years! And stop acting so familiar! You are completely unfamiliar! In fact, you're crazy! In fact, you're a crazy man walking around asking people to hold his eggs. Screw you! SCREW... YOU!
Michael Wiseman: Really? You sure? It's a weekday, you know!
[Dr. Morris allows Roger to believe he's God.]
Dr. Theodore Morris: You know who I am, don't you? So you know what I'm capable of, don't you? Then hear me, friend. If you breathe a word of what you've seen tonight-- if you breathe a single syllable of your theory-- I will smite your ass so fast you'll skip fight past heaven and hell and be turned straight into pus.
Roger Bender: Pus?
Dr. Theodore Morris: Pus. It's got to come from somewhere, right?
Michael Wiseman: Yep. Nothin' says lovin' like plant life from the oven.
Lisa Schleigelmilch Wiseman: I -- I don't know anything about him.
Heather Wiseman: He lives on 63rd and Madison. He works for the government. He looks like he was made by Mattel. What else do you need to know?
Michael Wiseman: Well... in the nine months since you gave me the big makeover it's not like I've been around a lot of women. For that matter, in the 45 years before that it's not like I'd been around a lot of women.
Dr. Theodore Morris: Mr. Wiseman, she's just here to teach you. Nothing more.
Michael Wiseman: I... I just... I have this instinct. It's the way she looks at me -- this thing that's supposed to be me. No one's ever looked at me like that -- not even when I was 26. I guess I'm just afraid that something might happen.
Dr. Theodore Morris: Hmm. There's a word for that fear. It's called narcissism.
Dr. Theodore Morris: You are truly unbelievable.
Michael Wiseman: Well, thank you. I've always found myself kind of remarkable. You know, I've known me all my life and I, for one, can barely tear myself away from me. Hell, I'm damn near inseparable.
Michael Wiseman: We here at Superheroes Anonymous realize you have a choice in law enforcement and we're grateful you chose us.
Dr. Theodore Morris: I think the other Superfriends can handle things from here.
Michael Wiseman: Whatever you say, Commissioner Gordon. The Batcave! 63rd and Madison Avenue... and step on it.
Lisa Schleigelmilch Wiseman: Online-trading, Roger? How gen-X of you!
Lisa Schleigelmilch Wiseman: There was another guy. I don't even want to talk about it. I am just so happy now to know that the only two people I have to care about are my daughter and me. I can go home and the only man I have to worry about loving is Raymond, Monday nights, on television. You know what I mean?
Janet: Wow. If you say so.
[at a political fund-raiser]
Senator Kragen: Well, good to have you here. Now, you wouldn't by chance be considering a sizable donation to the party?
Michael Wiseman: Absolutely. A few kegs, maybe some chips.
[going through a safe]
Michael Wiseman: Let's see... proof that aliens exist... ah... where Hoffa's buried... Hmm. Another Pamela Lee video... where the rest of Hoffa's buried...
Michael Wiseman: And, by the way, what's a POTUS? What?
Dr. Theodore Morris: The "o" stands for "of" and the "t" stands for "the."
Michael Wiseman: Thank you, Vanna. I'd like to buy a vowel now.
Dr. Theodore Morris: "President of the United States."
Michael Wiseman: What about him?
Dr. Theodore Morris: POTUS.
Michael Wiseman: That's who you're going to see?
Dr. Theodore Morris: Yes. And I need you to stay right here on this bench until I get back.
[to Wiseman]
Dr. Theodore Morris: You made a deal just like I made a deal. Now my marker's being called in, so that means your marker's being called in. So you will go and do this little job for king, country and Dr. Morris and you will do it swiftly and you will do it skillfully and, in return, you will be allowed to live another day.
Dr. Theodore Morris: They're gone... for now. But we should move soon. Make it interesting, at least. Where do you want to go, Mr. Wiseman? Most of us poor, pathetic souls only have to die once. Since you have to go through it a second time you get to choose. Where do you want to die? You want to go home?

text: I know tons of us are waiting and *wishing* for FD for late summer/ fall. I am debating whether we should pay OP for the DDP if FD is not offered. What do you all think?? I have only ever went on FD! When I price out my package with and without dining it shocks me the price of adding it. I love the ease of having everything paid for and squared away when we arrive but I think I could save quite a bit if we were not stuck to having to use 6 TS during our trip... 4 or 5 would be adequate. I also know we had TONS like 8-9 snacks left last time and we bought a bunch of stuff to bring home.... so I wonder if its really worth it. I hate having to watch on vacation. I want it to be as free and easy as possible but I think I could probably achieve that same thing by getting a 500.00 Disney GC and a few 100.00 dollar ones and spending off that so it would still be prepaid and anything we did not use on food could be used on souvenirs/tips etc.

Have You Ever Fired Off a Text to the Wrong Person?
A new survey says 1 in 7 of us have accidentally sent a "naughty" text to the wrong person.
(Naughty can be defined several ways….either racy/sexy, or laden with nasty language, or talking about someone you shouldn't, etc.)
The most common person to accidentally receive the text is a friend…but in second place? Your EX! I've done it a few times…to my ex…my father…my old boss…….
And this one was a pure auto-correct mistake, which had me howling!

Can You Learn This Month?
Interterm 2007 continues
next week with courses on writing short short stories, math
and sound, cooking African and vegetarian dishes, Ashtanga
Yoga, and more.
Each January, the Interterm
Program, now in its ninth year, offers a series of non-credit
courses taught by Smith community members – students,
staff, faculty, alumnae and associates. This year's
program, which runs through Friday, Jan. 26, offers nearly
three dozen weeklong courses and several workshops that might
entice the fringe curiosities of those still on campus.
News & Events will profile
a few of the Interterm Program's courses as they approach.
This week:
16-19, 3:15-5:15 p.m., Lamont Kitchen
A-roi: Basic and
Delicious Thai Cooking
Instructor: Julie Goshe '07
The first time
she tasted Thai food, "I fell in love," remembers
Julie Goshe. "What I love about Thai dishes is their
attention to subtle flavor. Everything is well-balanced but
Growing up in
the Midwest, Goshe says she didn't learn how to cook
until the summer after her sophomore year, when she lived
by herself in Washington, D.C., working at an internship.
"I was faced with feeding myself every day and I didn't
even know how to cut a tomato," she recalls. When her
Smith classmate, Rebecca Heeb '07, who was also living
in the city, introduced her to Asian foods, Goshe "went
from clueless in the kitchen to an accomplished beginning
cook, because I started making Thai dishes and enjoyed it
so much."
When she returned
to Smith that fall, she sharpened her Asian cooking skills
by hosting weekly dinner parties for her friends. "I
became known in my house for my green curry chicken,"
she says. A Praxis internship last summer in Thailand expanded
her knowledge of the country's dishes.
Now she plans
to teach others how to prepare the food she's come to
Thai cooking course marks the first time she has directed
a class, she says, and she will emphasize fun and overcoming
kitchen ambivalence. "I know from experience that cooking
can be intimidating -- I was so afraid to try something new
when I first started cooking," she says. "I'm
going to spend a lot of time emphasizing to my class that
they shouldn't be afraid and that anyone can learn to
Goshe plans to teach her students popular Thai dishes, such
as pad Thai, som tum (green papaya salad), mango with sweet
sticky rice, and her specialty, green curry chicken/tofu.
But her main goal
is to inspire her students to take what they learn from her
and expand on it in their own
kitchens, with curiosity and confidence in their ability to
"I really
hope that those who weren't inclined to cook before,
or just don't know how to do it, feel confident after
my course that they can do it," she says. "Most
importantly, I want my fellow classmates to learn to love
cooking as much as I have as a result of my love of eating
and cooking Thai food."

Dark Prince: the True Story of Dracula
Jump to
The story of Vlad the Impaler, a 15th century Romanian prince who inspired the legend of Dracula. He led the people of Romania against the awesome power of the Turkish Ottoman Empire led by his traitorous brother Radu. During his epic lifelong battle, Vlad falls madly in love with Lidia, the woman who stole his heart and became his wife.
Teen Vlad Dracula and his younger brother Radu are kidnapped and held hostage by the Turkish Sultan, Mohammed. Their father is murdered -- buried alive -- but no one knows by whom. The Sultan holds the boys prisoner for many years. When the grown Vlad Dracula is finally released, he voews to avenge his father's death and return to liberate his brother from the Sultan. He journeys to Hungary to ask for an army from King Janos in order to overthrow the Turks and regain his kingdom. While dining with the King, he meets a nobleman's daughter, Lidia; they fall in love and quickly marry.
In Romania, peasants cheer the return of their prince. To restore peace and order, Vlad brutally kills common criminals, corrupt noblemen and clergy alike, impaling bodies on stakes for public display. Vlad Dracula is aided in his quest to unite Romania by a former slave who becomes his chief confidant, Bruno. Vlad manages to hide the ruthlessness of his vicious actions from Lidia, whom he protects from the reality of the world outside. At war with the Turks, Vlad is badly wounded. Lidia is stricken with grief and madness, imagining she hears the tortured cries of the dead noblemen killed by her husband. She leaps to her death from the castle. Her body is never recovered, and she walks the earth as an "undead."
Radu, envious of his brother, attacks his homeland leading the Turkish army. Converted by the Sultan, he has returned full of hate for Vlad, who escapes, only to be imprisoned by King Janos who has reversed his loyalty. Vlad Dracula must fight once again to regain his kingdom for his son. Learning the true identity of his father's killer, he is excommunicated for his act of retribution. Vlad Dracula is murdered by his brother, and with his wife, Lidia, becomes one of the undead -- doomed to wander the world "incorrupt and entire."

"Today": Move over, Hoda... but maybe just for a few days. It's vacation week all over daytime, and while Matt Lauer got a visit from Meredith today, and gets a big ol' dose of Sarah Palin starting tomorrow, KLG is pairing up with... Pat O'Brien? Wow, how'd they get Access to such an Insider? (Just don't tell Lara Spencer...)

"The View": The ladies have been on vacation for the past two weeks, so they had a lot to talk about! Unfortunately, most of what they discussed would have been better suited for off-the-air, seeing how it wasn't very interesting. Then again, if you really want to know what cool celebrity types do on vacation - hit me up! I can tell you all about my weekend in St. Louis!
"Ellen": The first thing I did after seeing the bad paid-for photos segment was make very sure that the Glamor Shots I had taken way back when are tucked away in a place where they'll never see the light of day! Now all I have to do is be extra nice to my mom for the rest of eternity so she doesn't ever feel the itch to pull those photos out of storage and show them in public!

Bio and Links
Photography is a hobby of mine and I enjoy volunteering for Find A Grave. I got started when I was moving from my home state of NJ to North Carolina. I realized I would not be able to visit my grandmother in person once I moved, so I went for a "last visit" and took some pictures.
I was then doing some research and stumbled across this website and thought what a great idea. I created a memorial for my grandmother Theresa Bridget Dougherty Kane and have volunteered ever since. Please feel free to stop by and visit her... she loves flowers :-)(#10932834)
Visiting cemeteries may seem strange to some but they are very beautiful, tranquil places. You can think your thoughts, remember your loved ones and be humbled by how short life can be. It has also provided me the opportunity to explore the back country roads of my new home state while helping others stay connected to their friends and family.

Could you please remove the photo's you placed on Find A Grave Memorial# 21597237. The cemetery location was wrong, and her memorial page has since been moved to the Hearn Family plot.
(It's a different place than the Hearn Cemetery photo's you have there).
Thanks so much for your help!

RE: Kanes at Holy Sepulchre
It's unfortunate that this info wasn't posted earlier or I would have had the photo two weeks ago. I took a photo of the Ryan family name on a slab at lot P 222. See the third photo at the Ross memorial at 92517163.

RE: Kanes at Holy Sepulchre
I frequently wonder why people who want photos of graves don't first call the cemetery to find out where the grave is located in order to tell volunteer photographers where to look. Do people really think we can find a grave merely by traipsing around cemeteries with tens of thousands of graves?
I had asked someone to call and get location info on one person. She did and then made an additional request for about 9 more people with locations. I got all of them yesterday.
In about 3 months, going one day a week, I have photographed over 100 requests because I knew where to look.
I'll be back there again but only as long as there are enough graves that I know where to find to make the trip worthwhile.

Kanes at Holy Sepulchre
Could you call the office and get the locations of the Kanes for me. I'll be at HS this weekend and if I can get the photos I will. But this cemetery will not give me location info. Without that info, and with such a large cemetery the only way I would find them is by chance while spending my time looking for a grave where I have the information. Help me so I can help you.

Family history
Michael Joseph Kane married Anna Kane and had a daughter Monica Kane who was my father's first wife (but not my mother). They also had a son, John Archer Kane who married Theresa Bridget Kane, your grandmother. John and Theresa had a son Weldon Kane, born 1928. I'm hoping to find out more about Weldon Kane and would appreciate any family history information you coud provide.

Sally Henley Whitley
Thanks so much for the Whitley photos at Poplin Grove. They really helped me piece together most of that family branch. I found that I hadn't submitted a photo request for one of the Whitley daughters (which I just submitted), and I also went back and checked my sources on Sally Henley Whitley .. the one you couldn't find ... I'd found her name listed on the following rootsweb "Poplin's Grove Baptist Church Cemetery" list:
I did just notice they have her first name spelled Sallie, where I've been using Sally, but all of the dates, etc. are still the same. I searched for other Henley's, to see if maybe she was with her husband's family .. but she appears to be the only Henley on the list.
I'm not sure how that list was put together, but hopefully, she'll turn up there someday.
Once again, I really appreciate your time and effort for all of the photo's you posted. It was a big help!
Thank You,

This week, the group will be going head-to-head in a series of DJ related tasks.
Chris Moyles explained today's task is to produce a ten minute mix from a large selection of tracks.
Danny Howard, who won the competition last year and has recently broadcast the Dance Anthems show on a Saturday afternoon, will be one of the judges choosing who will go through to the next stage tomorrow.

IN-FORM Stuart Holloway, from the City of Salisbury club, ran one of his shortest road races of the season, a fivemile race at Romsey on Sunday, to help sharpen up his speed for a series of forthcoming longer fixtures.
His time of 26min 22sec on the course around the Broadlands Estate never threatened the winner, the flying Alex Wall-Clarke of Southampton AC, but it was still good enough to give him third place.
Further down the field, Andy Robbins continued his improving form to clock a personal best 37.36 as did Jay Friedlander with an encouraging 38.06.
This weekend the Salisbury club travels in strength to the hilly 10mile league road race at Ryde, Isle of Wight. The men's A team intend on replacing Stubbington Green AC at the top of the Hampshire road race table and the ladies' A team plan to close the gap on leaders Winchester.

There are endless variations on this recipe. Some omit the tomatoes and the parsley. Others use biscuits instead of toast. Feel free to adapt it to your tastes. The following recipe comes from the website of the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Ky., where the dish originated.
The Legendary Hot Brown Recipe
2 ounces butter
2 ounces flour
1 quart heavy cream
1/2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
14 ounces sliced roasted turkey breast
2 slices of Texas toast (crust trimmed)
4 slices of crispy bacon
2 roma tomatoes, sliced in half
Paprika, for garnish
Parsley, for garnish
In a two-quart saucepan, melt butter and slowly whisk in flour until combined and forms a thick paste (roux). Continue to cook roux for 2 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Whisk whipping cream into the roux and cook over medium heat until the cream begins to simmer, about 2-3 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and slowly whisk in Pecorino Romano cheese until the Mornay sauce is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
For each Hot Brown, place one slice of toast in an oven safe dish and cover with 7 ounces of turkey. Take the two halves of Roma tomato and set them alongside the base of turkey and toast. Next, pour one half of the Mornay sauce to cover the dish completely. Sprinkle with additional Pecorino Romano cheese. Place entire dish under a broiler until cheese begins to brown and bubble. Remove from broiler, cross 2 pieces of crispy bacon on top, sprinkle with paprika and parsley, and serve immediately.
Makes 2 servings.

On October 7, 2008, the CIM Thetford Mines Branch was pleased to host Alger St-Jean, vice president, exploration at Royal Nickel. His presentation on the Dumont project, a major nickel mine project located 20 kilometres west of Amos in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, drew over 50 participants.
In 2008, the project received great technological support from the Centre de technologie minérale et de plasturgie (CTMP) in Thetford Mines for establishing a realistic and cost-effective ore processing method. CTMP looks forward to extending its partnership throughout 2009.
Once the metallurgical, environmental and feasibility studies have been completed and all governmental permits obtained, production could begin as early as 2014.

Stefano Domenicali reveals that Felipe Massa is set to remain at Ferrari for the 2011 F1 season in an unchanged driver line-up following speculation the Brazilian would be replaced
- Home
- MotoGP
- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV

Team boss Stefano Domenicali has hinted that Ferrari is likely to field an unchanged driver line-up for the 2011 season, despite the ongoing speculation about the future of Felipe Massa.
Massa is out of contract at the end of the season and paddock rumours have suggested that Ferrari was looking at both Robert Kubica and Mark Webber as possible replacements for the Brazilian.
However, in an interview with the BBC ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix this weekend, Domenicali revealed that he is expected the team to retain its driver pairing for next season, with Massa set to be offered at least another year on his contract.
"Yes I think so," he replied when asked by former F1 racer Martin Brundle if a pairing of Alonso and Massa was likely again for 2011, then responding with a simple 'yes' when asked if he was sure.
While Alonso won on his Ferrari debut in Bahrain, Massa has so far failed to win this season and hasn't take to the podium since finishing third in Australia.
However, Domenicali insisted that, after a difficult run of form of recent races, he expected Massa to shine again soon, starting this weekend in Istanbul.
Massa has won three of the five races held in Turkey since the event joined the F1 calendar back in 2005
"He likes this place a lot," Domenicali added. "Up to now, he was struggling with the hard tyres in certain conditions, so I think that is the area we need to work with him so he has more confidence in the car.
"In that respect, it's easy to criticise a driver when he is not performing well, but on our side we need to make sure the package for him is the best. Then he has to prove the level of it."
Domenicali's comments come as Red Bull is reported to be closing in on extending Webber's deal for another season.

Starring Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, Danila Kozlovsky, Gabriel Byrne, Sarah Hyland, Joely Richardson, Cameron Monaghan, Sami Gayle, Claire Foy, Ashley Charles.
Directed by Mark Waters
I'm over the age of 12, so I'd never even heard of Vampire Academy before seeing the movie (which is based on a series of bestselling tween books I also never heard of). While not exactly proud of my ignorance, I'm owning it here in print to assure you that whether or not you're an existing fan, you'll probably like it – yep, Vampire Academy is a likable film.
Flaunting their fangs and flipping their hair with equal flair are vampire students and BFFs Rose Hathaway (Deutch) and Lissa Dragomir (Fry) – Rose is a Dhamphir (half-human and half-vampire) and Lissa is a Moroi (a mortal vampire). Throw a few evil, immortal bloodsuckers known as Strigoi onto campus, and the "vampire academy" becomes a school of hard knocks indeed.
The overall vibe is darkly comic, slightly teenage angsty, and a little romantic, but Vampire Academy packs plenty of punch with edgy (albeit PG-13) violence incorporating fist fights, explosions, attack dogs, and sharp-pointies including knives and vampire's bites. The basic story of good versus evil and keeping your friends close but your enemies closer is nothing new – and while I myself won't be racing to see it again when it's released in theaters – I do recommend it for fans and parents.
Vampire Academy has done its homework by emulating previous graduating classes like Harry Potter, Twilight, MTV's "Teen Wolf," The Craft, The Covenant, et al. But extra credit goes to its writer, director, and cast. Writer Daniel Waters is known for Heathers, director Mark Waters did Mean Girls, and lead actresses Zoey Deutch and Lucy Fry are as feisty as they are feminine. There are no whiny wizards or sparkly vampires here! It's far above the recent spate of its ilk, including The Mortal Instruments, Beautiful Creatures, and Divergent.
Best of all are the players – Zoey Deutch (daughter of actress Lea Thompson and the director of Pretty in Pink, Howard Deutch) as Rose was my favorite. She's got star quality, yet comes across as down-to-earth and likable, able to win you over even as she's squinting through crazy contact lenses and sprouting cutting canines. Adult cast members include Olga Kurylenko, Gabriel Byrne, and Joely Richardson; they shine without stealing the spotlight from their young costars.
There are a few missteps – such as instantly-dating dialogue about social media, the tired nerd-to-knockout makeover, and super-bad CGI wolves – but those are few and far between. The soundtrack is poppy (Katie Perry, Goldfrapp, Sky Ferreira), and the schoolgirl uniforms are plucky (by two-time Academy Award Nominee Ruth Myers) – it sounds and looks good.
According to the fandom, Vampire Academy is a faithful adaptation of the books. It is also a fun timewaster for horror hounds in need of a little levity. Either way, check it out.

The case filed against Sarath Fonseka based on charges of harbouring 10 army deserters and inciting the breech of state allegiance was taken up at the Colombo High courts today.
Prison officials had notified courts via a letter that Sarath Fonseka was unable to attend today's court session since he was physically unfit.
Prison officials had informed High Court Judge Sunil Rajapaksa in this regard stating that specialist Dr. Vajira Tennakoon had informed them regarding the ailing condition of Fonseka.
Hence the facts which were due to be taken up in courts today were procrastinated until the 7th of June.
Currently the leader of the DNA Sarath Fonseka is receiving treatment at the Nawaloka Hospital in Colombo.
Meanwhile, the Palmadulla Magistrates Court today declined the request made by the suspect of the Kahawatta double homicide case to attend the Godakawela pradeshiya sabha sessions on the 29th May.
Court issued this order when the case against the Godakawela Pradeshiya Sabha member was taken up yet again today.
According to our correspondent if the alleged local government member fails to attend the relevant council session, his membership will be subject to nullification.
Court ordered that the case be taken up again on the 28th of June.

Who Has Unfriended You on Facebook?
You now can see who has unfriended you on Facebook! Google Chrome and Firefox have unveiled a new extension called Unfriend Notify for Facebook, that does exactly what it says.
Now to be honest with you the mystery of this had me curious. Does it work? Is it one of those "scams" that gives your computer a virus? Does it really tell you who's looking at your Facebook? This is NOT a Facebook app, it is a Google Chrome and Firefox extension and it actually works!
It's great that it works, but is this something we really need to look at daily? Another negative spin in an already negative world. I personally was upset by this. It is bad enough that many people are self conscious and sensitive, now you add in who doesn't like them anymore. This is a universally detrimental thing and I don't like it. As Jon King said "It should be called the instant depression app." Enough said…resist the temptation to see who has "unfriended" you on Facebook, it's not worth it.

Today I have put out an update for Media Center Health Monitor that will alert you to problem with recordings, disk space etc via Twitter. So as well as the notification via email, popup and the web service the app can tweet you when there is a problem with you Windows Media Center system.
I did have Twitter features in the old version but I removed then due the changes in the Twitter API. The updated version uses a PIN system with Twitter and doesn't store any of your twitter details in the application.
To use Twitter load the app and go to the Twitter tab, click on Start Authorize. Then enter your Twitter username and password details and click on Authorise App. It will give you a PIN number which you can type in the PIN box, then click on the Complete Authorise button. This will enable the program to post on your behalf but does not have any of your Twitter details.
I created a separate Twitter account to post the statues to and then I followed the new account. The app will post service status changes, recording events and low disk space warnings.
For more details about the program read this post from last week and to get started to here

About the hotel
Located on Brighton Seafront in the heart of The Lanes area overlooking the famous piers offering free leisure facilities, free cooked breakfast and free Wi-Fi. Sea front rooms have fantastic views overlooking the excitement of Brighton beach and the area comes alive at night with various restaurants, pubs, and clubs. Within the hotel is The Lanes Health Club (which includes a pool, sauna, and gym), Pretty People Hair & Beauty Salon and No 1 Bar and Bistro which has big leather sofas and fantastic sea-views.
Queens Hotel and Spa is delighted to announce the opening of the new Queens Hotel Apartments in the adjacent building to the hotel comprising of one bedroom serviced apartments and studio serviced apartments. Guests will check-in at the Queens Hotel reception and will have access to all the hotel amenities such as leisure facilities, beauty salon, bar & bistro. One bedroom apartments have a double bed in the bedroom and sofa in the lounge area. They offer a large kitchen area containing washer/dryers, cooker, fridge, kettle, toaster and Nespresso machines. The lounge has a dining table, 40" LCD TV, and Bluetooth Bose speakers. The studios have a double bed a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and Nespresso machine as well as and LCD TV and Bluetooth Bose speaker. Due to the nature of the apartment building they are not suitable for guests with mobility/walking difficulties as there is no lift access. Applicable to both properties: Easy accessible parking is available close by to both properties at a small charge, postcode BN1 1ND. To book beauty treatments please call LateRooms to check availability. Not all hotel rooms are accessible to wheelchair users, should you have any specific access requirements please contact LateRooms for advice and current availability. Both properties do not accept large group bookings on weekends (such as single gender parties, hen, stag and birthday groups etc). If you wish to pay your hotel room in cash we require an additional £100 per room security deposit, returned on departure subject to a room check. We do not accept cash payments for apartment bookings. Guests booking an apartment or studio will be required to pay on arrival by credit card. The hotel will also require photo ID (drivers licence, government issued ID card or passport) to be presented on arrival. We love our Hotel, and consider her a grand old lady (well Queen actually) but given her age and location directly on the seafront, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the hotel exterior requires frequent repair, maintenance and redecoration, something we carry out every 4-5 years to keep her looking at her best. The summer of 2016 saw the completion of the first phase of The Queens Hotel exterior decorating project , with the entire sea facing aspect being successfully completed. This Summer , we have scheduled to commence the second phase of the hotels exterior decorating project , beginning with the west facing aspect of the building , and then continuing around towards the city facing aspect in due course. Although it will be necessary to erect scaffolding to carry out this project, we anticipate that the impact on our guest rooms will be kept to a minimum, and we are aiming to have no more than 12-14 rooms at any given time that will have any noticeable construction outside of their room. We thank you in advance for your understanding and support as we continue to advance and improve our hotel.

KidCalc is an effective math-teaching and review tool for young children. Version 1.8 has five playing activities: Counting Puzzle, Flash Cards, Calculator, Math Puzzle, and Count Snowflakes.
The Calculator is just what it says – a calculator for kids.
In the Counting Puzzle, your child counts by 1s, 2s up to hundreds; also prime and binary numbers. After choosing the numbers in the correct sequence, the child is rewarded with a secret picture.
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
In Math Puzzle, your child can review addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. After completing the problems, it reveals a photo and sound effect reward. In the Beginner Level, the animations available are very helpful in teaching your child basic math, rather than simply reviewing.
The Counting Snowflakes activity has changeable background themes (holidays, space) and music that plays in the background as your child taps the snowflakes and counts them one by one. A child's voice counts along to help your child learn to count.
In all the activities, you can change the background and set the highest number used anywhere from 2 up to 1,000. You can have the sound on or off and set the problems to be sequential or random. The random seems more effective as the child has to actually recognize the number to play.
The only problem I see with this program is in the Math Puzzle. Instead of the student typing an answer in, he or she selects one of four answers. This makes it too easy to estimate rather than do the actual problem. I hope they fix this in future versions.
The program is colorful and has fun sound effects that will interest young children . This is highly recommended for PreK-3rd grade. If a more "hip" voice and sound effect is added as an option, it would also appeal to older students who need review.

|Awesome route! Pumpy with stunning exposure. Goes from #0.75 Camalots to #3 Camalot. Two of each is more than enough. Warning: The crack has 'hollow' sounding sections which is a little creepy! We rappelled with a single 70m rope to the chains midway on Roger's Corner, and then another rappel to the ground. I don't think a 60m rope would have made the chains, but you could easily rappel to the belay tree, then to the chains, and then to the ground. Or just bring two ropes!

|Best done as one long pitch from ground, starting on RC, don't need a ton of gear. Doubles of mid size gear works aok. Extend slings on RC section to avoid drag. I used a 70 m rope with plenty to spare, my partner counted remaining rope and thinks was about 55m for the pitch.

Cohort 1
Human participants affected with sickle cell disease or thalassemia will donate bone marrow for use in experimental models
Detailed Description:
These studies are designed to evaluate the potential of retroviral vector mediated gene transfer, gene editing, or drug treatment to correct the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia. CD34+ cells purified from bone marrow of research participants with a sickle cell syndrome or a thalassemia syndrome will be subjected to genetic editing, drug treatment, or transduced with retroviral vectors containing γ-globin coding sequences under the control of the β-globin gene promoter and including various regulatory elements chosen to enhance gene expression and to insulate regulatory elements from cellular genes at or near the integration sites. The efficiency of gene transfer and the function of the globin transgene will be evaluated in erythroid cells derived from transduced progenitors and from the progenitors in the bone marrow of immunodeficient mice engrafted with transduced, primitive hematopoietic cells. The hypothesis to be tested in this research is that a gene therapy vector, gene editing strategy, or drug modality can be designed to achieve a potentially therapeutic level of globin gene expression in maturing erythroid cells.

- Patients are eligible for participation in the protocol only if they are currently clinically stable and have been free of all acute disease manifestations for a minimum of 14 days.
- Patients may participate while continuing their current therapeutic regimen including regular transfusion therapy or hydroxyurea administration.
In general, two categories of patients will be considered as research participants in this protocol.
- Patients who are 18 years or older and therefore able to provide informed consent will be eligible. Such individuals will be recruited from among patients followed at SJCRH. In addition, individuals followed in an outside clinic who are recruited will be asked to come to the Hematology Clinic at SJCRH to enroll and have the procedure performed. Alternatively, if a patient who is 18 or older is to undergo a diagnostic or surgical procedure under general anesthesia, and they agree to participate in the study, the bone marrow aspirate will be obtained at that time.
- Patients between the ages of 2 and 17 years who are scheduled for a diagnostic or surgical procedure at SJCRH or LeBonheur Children's Medical Center for which sedation or general anesthesia is indicated will be eligible for protocol enrollment. A bone marrow aspiration will be performed during the sedation or general anesthesia for the diagnostic or surgical procedure.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Active, acute manifestations of sickle cell disease including painful crisis, acute chest syndrome, cerebrovascular events or active infection.
- Pregnant women will not be eligible for study enrollment.
- Inability or unwillingness of the research participant or legal guardian/representative to give written informed consent will preclude enrollment on this research protocol.
- Platelet count < 150,000/mm^3
- Neutrophil count < 2000/mm^3 (unless on hydroxyurea therapy)
- Neutrophil count < 1000/mm^3 for patients on hydroxyurea therapy
- Prothrombin Time > 17 seconds
- Partial thromboplastin Time > 43 seconds
- History of excessive bleeding in the context of previous procedures including surgery and dental extractions

Just one week after their most disappointing performance of the season, the Richmond Spartans turned in arguably their best of the 2008 season Friday night as they opened Class 3, District 14 play with a 30-14 thumping of visiting Odessa. The victory boosted Richmond to 3-5 overall, while sending the Bulldogs to their seventh straight loss of the season after an opening night win.
The Spartans didn't waste any time in taking control of the game as they marched the opening kickoff 65 yards using 10 plays. Richmond Coach Rob Bowers said that first drive made a big statement.
"I've told these guys all year long that if they just don't shoot themselves in the foot, they do a lot of good things," he said. "That first drive was a good indication of that. We didn't have any broken plays, didn't have any penalties – we just methodically moved the football and stuck it in and that was a huge start for us."
After Colby Bowles capped the opening drive with a 3-yard run and then passed to Jake Vandiver for the 2-point conversion 4 minutes into the game, the Bulldogs never really threatened. The Spartan defense shut down the Bulldogs – holding them to 106 rushing yards and 87 passing yards, but coming up with four interceptions. Arthur Bivines and Bowles had two picks each. The Richmond defense turned Odessa away several times, especially in the second half. Bowers said his defense just matched the visitors' aggressiveness.
"Odessa is always physical and they really hit you," he said. "I thought we won that battle tonight. Our kids were more aggressive and got after them and did a great job of getting to the spot and making the tackle. We got turnovers and made a couple of stands deep in our own territory."
While the defense was coming up with key stops, the offense posted 196 rushing yards on the legs of Jordan Smith, who collected 78 yards on a dozen attempts; Bivines, who gained 47 yards on 13 carries; Bowles, who picked up 44 more on 11 attempts, and Jamal Robinson's 25 yards on 5 carries.
Bowles also hit 4 of 9 passes for 113 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
"Odessa is huge up front and our kids got after it," Bowers said of his offensive line. "They stayed with their blocks. As poorly as we played last week, we played that well this week and when you control the line of scrimmage you can do a lot of things offensively. We had time to throw the football and we ran the ball well."
After marching the ball downfield on its first possession, Richmond struck quickly for its second touchdown following an Odessa punt with 6:17 left in the half as Bowles hit Vandiver down the middle for a 53-yard scoring strike. Bowles ran the first of his three conversions for a 16-0 cushion. Odessa was able to answer with a 5-play, 64-yard drive set up by a halfback pass from Tommy Hotmer to Michael Attebury that covered 54 yards. Two plays later, Bryson Harvey crashed in from 5 yards out and the Richmond lead was cut in half after the conversion.
The Spartans then regained control of the game as they answered Odessa's answer with a 10-play, 65-yard drive. Richmond took advantage of a personal foul penalty on the Bulldogs following an incomplete pass on third down. Robinson found the end zone 6 plays later on a 2-yard run with 1:12 left in the half, and after the conversion, Richmond took a 22-8 cushion into the intermission.
"That was the second big turning point in the game," Bowers said of the drive. "If they had held us to three and out they get the momentum, but our kids rose up and stuck it in and kept the momentum on our side. That gave us a little breathing room."
The Spartan offense sputtered just a bit in the second half, but the defense kept Odessa from the end zone despite battling with their backs to the goal line. Richmond drove in the final nail with 4:56 left to play following a Bivines interception and 34-yard return to the Odessa 31. Three plays following the turnover, Smith busted loose off the right side for a 19-yard touchdown run.
Odessa did get the final score of the game with less than 40 seconds left in the game as Daniel Cahill recovered a blocked punt in the end zone.
Richmond will be at Boonville Friday night to meet another former conference rival. The Pirates, also 3-5, stunned Moberly 30-18 Friday.

Recovery programs have long promoted the "disease model" of
alcoholism--the idea that some people have a medical condition that does
not allow them to drink without losing control. One alcohol-abuse expert
has found that belief in this model may actually hamper efforts to quit
William Miller, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of
New Mexico and a researcher at its Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse,
and Addictions (CASAA), studied 122 people enrolled in the center to find
out what predicted relapse into alcohol use. Negative mood, intense and
frequent cravings, and lack of motivation to change all qualified--but
one of the strongest predictors was whether people thought of alcoholism
as an illness.
It may not be belief in the disease model that causes relapse, says
Miller, but the reverse: people who find abstinence difficult to maintain
may take comfort in attributing their lapses to an illness they can't
control. Although research supports the idea of an inherited
vulnerability to alcoholism, Miller contends that the "the disease model,
in the way that Americans usually think about it, is not scientifically
At CASAA, excessive drinking is viewed as a learned behavior that
can be changed, especially by improving coping and social skills. In
Miller's study, for example, the number of negative life events an
alcoholic experienced was less important to his prognosis than how he
dealt with them: active coping styles and positive thinking were
associated with staying sober, while the tendency to avoid or ignore
problems was linked to a return to the bottle.

2013 One Of The Worst Ever For Georgia Pecan Growers
2013 will go down as one of the worst years ever for a signature Georgia crop. Farmers had warned of a bad year, as record-shattering rainfall in central and southern Georgia led to widespread "pecan scab," a devastating fungal disease. Industry analysts say the final tally of about 40 percent below average yield is even worse than they'd feared.

Rain, Fungus Shrinks Georgia Pecan Crop
Southwest Georgia's pecan farmers are in the midst of harvesting their crop, but they're a couple of weeks behind schedule and they're losing a lot of the nuts to a fungal disease called pecan scab. What will all that mean for holiday pecan prices? Not much right away, but it could push consumer prices up down the road.
Mon., July 23, 2012 4:45am
Pecan Crop Smaller, But Prices Maybe Lower
Randy Hudson is the President of the Georgia Pecan Growers Association; he also has trees in six counties. He said this year's crop will be smaller, but prices could actually go down a little.

Trade Fuels Boom Market For Pecan Farmers
Georgia pecan farmers are planting thousands of new trees. It's all to keep up with a growing demand for their product more than 7,000 miles away in China and they're not stopping there. Farmer Trent Mason stands in the middle of his 2,000 acre pecan orchard in Fort Valley. On one side are 20-year old trees covered in tiny nuts and on the other 300 acres of saplings, planted in January.

South Korea's K-pop spreads to Latin America
By Jung Ha-Won, AFP Monday, June 25, 2012, 12:08 am TWN
SEOUL--News of the arrival of South Korean boyband JYJ prompted hundreds of fans to camp out on the streets recently to get closer to the trio. But this wasn't in Seoul or even Tokyo: it was in Lima.
Having taken Asia by storm over the past decade with bubblegum hooks and dance moves infused with military precision, South Korea's K-pop phenomenon continues to defy language barriers and find fans around the world.
As South Korea continues to export its culture, K-pop's polished fusion of influences ranging from hip-hop to dubstep is winning a growing number of passionate followers in Latin America.
JYJ has held sellout concerts there and a Colombian TV station is airing a K-pop talent show.
Latin American fans have posted hundreds of videos on YouTube showing flash mobs emulating K-pop dance moves and urging their favorite stars to visit the continent, despite many not having officially released songs outside Asia.
Promoters are using the power of the Internet to lure distant fans and organize concerts in Europe and North and South America.
"Korean acts are not only monitoring but also monetizing their Twitter trends, Facebook likes, and YouTube views," said Bernie Cho, president of DFSB Kollective, a Seoul-based creative agency providing digital media solutions to more than 350 K-pop artists.
"More Korean bands have multilingual members who can sing verses, carry choruses, and conduct interviews in English, Chinese and Japanese. Language is no longer a barrier, it is now the carrier."
Music videos and footage of the stars' private lives are posted on Facebook and YouTube — often live or before being released on TV and elsewhere.
"They've got the sound right, they've got a supportive government that invests very heavily into the development of the arts, and they are all very good looking," said Ruuben van den Heuvel, executive director of GateWay Entertainment, a music consultancy firm. "They're a complete pop package."
'Utterly surprising'
The popularity of the genre in Asia remains undiminished — 7,000 Japanese fans will flock to Seoul this month to "meet" JYJ at a major event that has booked out 3,500 hotel rooms around Seoul.
But in Latin America, fans are taking note: JYJ in March performed in both Chile and Peru as part of a world tour of 15 venues including Berlin and Barcelona.
Hundreds camped out for days in Santiago and Lima as they tried to get closer to the trio during their first concerts in the region, said June Oh, a spokeswoman for the band's agent C-JeS.
"We were so stunned seeing hundreds of tents lined up in front of the Explanada Sur del Estadio Monumental," she told AFP, referring to the venue in the Peruvian capital where JYJ performed.
Savvy marketing and production tie-ups have also helped.

Then// type your desired speed into the small text entry bar at the// top of the window and click "Send" or press return. The motor// will then operate at that speed. The valid range is 0 to 255.void serialSpeed(){ int speed; Serial.println("Type a speed (0-255) into the box above,"); Serial.println("then click [send] or press [return]"); Serial.println(); // Print a blank line // In order to type out the above message only once, // we'll run the rest of this function in an infinite loop: while(true) // "true" is always true, so this will loop forever. { // First we check to see if incoming data is available: while (Serial.available() > 0) { // If it is, we'll use parseInt() to pull out any numbers: speed = Serial.parseInt(); // Because analogWrite() only works with numbers from // 0 to 255, we'll be sure the input is in that range: speed = constrain(speed, 0, 255); // We'll print out a message to let you know that the // number was received: Serial.print("Setting speed to "); Serial.println(speed); // And finally, we'll set the speed of the motor! analogWrite(motorPin, speed); } }}
If you want to command each motor separately, you'll have to define some method of qualifying the serial input so that the speed is interpreted correctly for each motor.This is usually done by sending an extra letter (say 'L' or 'R' for left or right) along with the speed.
In C/C++, you can always use thread, each thread takes care of each motor. Namely, if I can have 2 independent loops, that will solve the problem.

NC State coach Dave Doeren is getting used to reshuffling his personnel between fall camp and last Saturday's 40-14 win over Louisiana Tech.
NC State had undergone changes on the offensive line, linebackers, fullback and running back over the last month due to injuries or tailback Shadrach Thornton's suspension. Now, the quarterback spot has been added after starter Brandon Mitchell went down with a foot injury Saturday.
Doeren hopes he can redshirt sophomore quarterback Manny Stocker this season, but the health of new starter Pete Thomas, a redshirt junior, could go a long ways in making that happen.
Below is a transcript of what Doeren said Wednesday during his weekly ACC teleconference:
Opening statement:
"Excited obviously to get out to a 1-0 start. Had to endure an injury to our quarterback, Brandon Mitchell, who started off pretty fast with two touchdown drives. Thought we were doing some pretty good things both sides of the ball early on. Peter Thomas came in, played well. Once he settled down, we were able to finish the game. Got a lot of people in. Forced some turnovers, protected the ball. Thought our kicker Niklas Sade did a nice job in our opening game.
"We come back with a game with Richmond, ranked 12th. Had a great shutout in their opening game. We know they're a good football team, returning a lot of starters, a team that has done well in the past playing up, particularly in our state.
"We look forward to the opportunity, know it's going to be a definite challenge on Saturday."
What went into the thought process of moving M.J. Salahuddin from the middle to outside in those last couple weeks of camp? How did you feel he performed in the opener?
"All the linebackers did some good things in the first game. They also need to tackle better. I think that showed up when fatigue set in with all the guys, not just him.
"Moving the guys around, he started as an outside backer, was a safety in high school. We moved him inside in the spring. [Zach] Gentry and [Robert] Caldwell just really came on, had great summers, to their credit. They're bigger than M.J., a little bit more stable inside. Just allowed him to go out back to where he was probably more suited to play at his size.
"It gives us more depth where we can rotate and feel we have six guys we can play with now."
Dave, what was your assessment of Thomas once he came into the game as quarterback? How might the offense be different this week with him as the starter now?
"Yeah, I thought he did a good job. He came off the bench. When you're a backup, you don't take the same number of reps as the starter in practice. You have to show the ability to be ready mentally without physically getting the activity. He did that.
"Made some nice throws. Obviously, there's some things he could do better. But Pete plays hard. He's going to prepare extremely hard this week.
"As far as the offense, we'll continue to be balanced. May have to be more creative with how we do some of our run game without a mobile quarterback. We showed that by bringing in Bryant Shirreffs and Josh Taylor. We have some other skilled quarterbacks that can do some things. I know Coach [Matt] Canada will do a good job with the way he dresses up that part of the offense. We'll continue to use our tailbacks, tight ends, run the football and be physical."
What concerns you about the Richmond offense when you look at them on film?
"They're balanced. They've got a great receiver. Ben Edwards, pre-season All-American, No. 6. Also their returners. Plays with a lot of confidence. Has good speed. They don't beat themselves. They led the nation in turnover margin last year. Had a bunch of interceptions, I think 24, as a defense last season.
"Offensively they're not going to give it to you. You're going to have to take it from them, play sound. Like us, they do a lot of different things. They're multiple.
"We have to be able to adjust our packages and be sound against them and tackle in space."
When you mentioned your revamped quarterback depth chart, you didn't mention Manny Stocker. What is his status now?
"We're trying to redshirt Manny. If we have one more injury, we'll have to bring him up, as well. Feel he needed to develop.
"I think him playing last year was premature for his growth as a player. I think he's got a future ahead of him if he can develop a little bit. Going against our starting defense every day that will help him a lot."
He's still playing quarterback?
"Hasn't changed position. Right now he's a redshirt. Giving him an opportunity to work on his mechanics, his throwing, the competition, all the things that go with seeing the college game and have it slow down in his head. I think a year going against our defense as a scout team quarterback will really benefit him."
What do you need specifically out of Thomas moving forward here over the next couple weeks?
"Well, we need him to not beat us. Just distribute the ball to the right people, don't try to win the game, just don't lose it. I think that's something that quarterbacks can try to make too many plays when they don't really have to. There's going to be times we need him to be obviously from a decision standpoint putting the ball in the right guy's hands as a distributor. When it's third down, he's going to have to make the throws we need.
"The one thing we'll need is all the things that Coach Canada does, get the ball to the right person, understand the read, try to understand why we do what we do, try not to do too much. Pete can do that. We're looking forward to see him take his opportunity and do something with it."
I wanted to ask you about Matt Dayes. Can you talk about him. Were you surprised or is that what you expected?
"It was what I was hoping we'd get because that's what we'd seen in practice. He has great vision and explosion. Some guys see it. Some guys you have to rep it, rep it, then they see it. Matt sees it right away. He's got that vision.
"Speed-wise, his first 20 yards are exceptional. He's got good burst and explosion early in the run. He's low to the ground. As he learns even more to run behind his pads, he'll get better that way on yards after contact.
"That's what I was hoping we could see. The O-line did a good job at times and Matt did a good job making people miss."
