So choices are:
1) Really unusably slow X1 performance, or
2) usable, but no options.
Is there a third alternative?

A jury on Thursday found a former Aurora man guilty of the 1998 double murder of Brendon P. Anderson, 21, of Geneva and 21-year-old Elias Calcano of Aurora.
The jury deliberated for about three hours before convicting Jaime M. Diaz, 35, formerly of the 1600 block of North Marywood Avenue, Aurora, of two counts of first-degree murder.
Around midnight March 16, 1998, Diaz went to the Aurora home of his girlfriend and found her and her sister in a car with Anderson and Calcano, according to a press release from the Kane County Sheriff's Department. The car belonged to Anderson. Diaz's girlfriend previously had a relationship with Anderson and, she testified that she was friends with Calcano. Diaz knew Calcano and possibly knew Anderson, the press release stated.
Several hours later, Anderson, Calcano, Diaz and a fourth man were in Anderson's car, parked in an alley off New York Street in Aurora. Diaz and the fourth man were in the backseat, Anderson was in the driver's seat and Calcano was in the front passenger seat.
Diaz pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and shot Anderson and Calcano, once each in the back of the head, the press release stated. The fourth man immediately fled. Diaz then beat Calcano about the head and face with the butt of the gun, causing multiple broken bones and knocking out an entire tooth, according to the Kane County Sheriff's Office.
Diaz pulled the bodies from the car and left the scene on foot. Diaz returned a short time later, doused the bodies and the surrounding area with gasoline and set them on fire. Anderson's body was badly burned. Authorities believe Anderson and Calcano died before Diaz set the fire, the press release stated.
No one was charged in the case for more than 10 years until evidence surfaced that pointed to Diaz as the killer. A beer bottle that was in Anderson's car at the murder scene was found to contain Diaz's DNA. The fourth man testified at the trial that Diaz was drinking a bottle of beer at the scene before the murders took place.
Diaz's next court appearance will be Feb. 20, when a sentencing date will be set. Diaz faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison because he has been convicted of two murders.
Diaz has been held in the Kane County jail since his arrest.
The State's Attorney's Office originally sought the death penalty in the case. However, Illinois lawmakers repealed the death penalty in 2011.
"The law eventually catches up to killers," Kane County State's Attorney Joe McMahon said in reacting to the verdict. "There usually is evidence and a witness who knows the facts. Sometimes it requires patience, but the truth eventually is revealed. I hope that the families of Brandon Anderson and Elias Calcano can find some measure of peace and justice now that their killer has been convicted and faces the maximum penalty that the laws of the state of Illinois allow."

Semour Dropped, Perry
OUT of form halfback Brett Seymour was today dropped from the Ergon Energy Broncos? side in one of the three team changes for Friday night?s clash against the Sydney Roosters at Aussie Stadium.
Dual-registered Redcliffe no.7 Shane Perry returns to the side for Seymour, utility Casey McGuire will replace Michael Ennis (knee) at hooker, while Test back Brent Tate is set to return from ankle surgery.
Tate is likely to be eased into his 2006 debut after being named on the bench alongside prop Ben Hannant, second-rower David Stagg and utility forward Sam Thaiday.
Young five-eighth/lock Greg Eastwood is 18th man.
Second-rower Brad Thorn, who missed Saturday?s 30-12 win over South Sydney, is still being troubled by a knee problem and is likely to return for next Sunday?s home clash against Penrith.
Seymour will play for Queensland Cup feeder team Toowoomba against Easts at Langlands Park on Saturday after failing to impress coach Wayne Bennett in four of the five matches this season.
Seymour, who did not train with the NRL squad today, has been struggling with confidence since an off-season shoulder reconstruction and only shone in the round three win over Parramatta when he eased the playmaking pressure on captain Darren Lockyer.
Experienced playmaker Perry will play his second career match for the Broncos after starting at halfback against North Queensland in round 1 when he was replaced in the second half by Seymour.
Before joining the Broncos, 28-year-old Perry played 14 NRL games from 1999-2001, eight with Western Suburbs and six with Canterbury.
McGuire could share the hooker role with regular centre and capable no.9 Shaun Berrigan who did dummy-half work at training today.
Tate trained strongly in Berrigan?s centre role yesterday and today after undergoing two pre-season operations on the problematic right ankle he first injured in round 14 last year.
The Broncos are likely to be told today they will be without their top two hookers for the rest of the season when Ennis receives the results of this morning?s scans.
After Barry Berrigan retired last month because of neck problems, Ennis is expected to undergo a full knee reconstruction after seemingly rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament against the Rabbitohs.
NRL Round 6 Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters Friday, April 14, Aussie Stadium Kick-off: 7.30pm
Broncos: Karmichael Hunt; Tame Tupou, Justin Hodges, Shaun Berrigan, Darius Boyd; Darren Lockyer (c), Shane Perry; Tonie Carroll, Corey Parker, Dane Carlaw; Petero Civoniceva, Casey McGuire, Shane Webcke.
Interchange: Sam Thaiday, Ben Hannant, Brent Tate, David Stagg, Greg Eastwood (one to be omitted) Coach: Wayne Bennett

Jean Prevo, Thunder Bay
National Marine Sanctuary
(989) 356-8805
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration today opened its new Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center in Alpena, Mich. The 20,000-square-foot facility features exhibits about shipwrecks and the Great Lakes, an auditorium for viewing underwater video of shipwrecks, and an archaeological conservation laboratory.
"I am pleased that the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center is finally a reality," said Michigan Sen. Carl Levin. "This state-of-the-art facility has been constructed with an energy-efficient, sustainable building design. Through real-time video, the center will offer visitors the opportunity to interact with divers exploring the shipwrecks of Thunder Bay and even control remote submersibles. This technology enables visitors to experience these magnificent wrecks without ever leaving dry land."
"NOAA's sanctuaries are an important part of one of our priorities to promote environmental literacy and education," said Brig. Gen. John J. Kelly, Jr., U.S. Air Force (Ret.), deputy under secretary for oceans and atmosphere. "We're proud to play a role in the revitalization of the Thunder Bay River front and look forward to working with the community of Alpena, the state of Michigan and our partners to highlight the invaluable maritime, cultural and marine resources of the Great Lakes through this new facility."
The center promises to be a vital and popular destination for residents and visitors, allowing the pubic to experience and appreciate the estimated 200 shipwrecks in Thunder Bay. The center will also assist efforts by non-profits and state and federal agencies to preserve shipwrecks throughout the region.
The center is located at the former Fletcher Paper Mill, a historic property that was renovated with an initial investment of $2.5 million from NOAA, made available with the assistance and support of Senator Carl Levin. The agency signed a 20-year lease with the building's owner, Alpena Marc, L.L.C., in September 2004. The center is the anchor of a major redevelopment along the Thunder Bay River that will also include a hotel and convention center, retail space, condominiums and restaurants.
"The Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center will offer resources to maritime historians and researchers that are unparalleled in this region," said Jeff Gray, manager of Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. "It will be an attraction for visitors from around the nation, offering innovative educational opportunities through real-time video links to shipwrecks and interactive exhibits."
The center will have temporary exhibits that will open in late October and will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The permanent exhibit will open early in 2007.
The 448-square-mile Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary was established in 2000 to protect an estimated 200 historically significant shipwrecks ranging from nineteenth century wooden side-wheelers to twentieth century steel-hulled steamers. Located in Lake Huron, the sanctuary brings to the American public the lore of Great Lakes maritime heritage through exploration, education and research.
NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) manages the National Marine Sanctuary System, which includes 13 national marine sanctuaries and one coral reef ecosystem reserve that together encompass more than 150,000 square miles of America's ocean and Great Lakes natural and cultural resources. The NMSP seeks to increase the public awareness of America's marine environment and maritime heritage by conducting scientific research, monitoring, exploration and educational programs.
NOAA's National Ocean Service manages the NMSP and is dedicated to exploring, understanding, conserving and restoring the nation's coasts and oceans. The National Ocean Service balances environmental protection with economic prosperity in fulfilling its mission of promoting safe navigation, supporting coastal communities, sustaining coastal habitats and mitigating coastal hazards.
NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners and nearly 60 countries to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes.

State Sen. George Maziarz released the following statement Wednesday:
"Recently, a commercial dispute between CBS and Time Warner Cable subjected TWC customers in the downstate region to blackouts of CBS television programming. Now, in order to gain an advantage in negotiations between the two companies, CBS is holding all TWC customers across New York hostage.
"It has come to my attention that CBS is blocking TWC Internet customers both downstate and upstate, including my district, from accessing full shows on CBS.com, even if they can still watch CBS programming through their local affiliate. CBS is also blocking that contact for residents who are TWC Internet customers, who use a different provider for television such as satellite TV.
"Attempting to use Internet access as leverage in the negotiations unfairly places residents throughout this state at a disadvantage, especially when they have nothing to do with the disagreement. These actions are contrary to public interest and fair broadband policies.
"I am hopeful that CBS will rethink their latest ploy that unjustly targets consumers in Western New York and across this state."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge denied a motion Monday by former Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt to throw out a $131 million divorce settlement that she argued was invalid because she believes she was misled about the value of the team that was later sold for $2 billion.
Jamie McCourt didn't present enough evidence to show that she should get more than what she received in the settlement reached with former husband and ex-Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon said in his 57-page ruling.
She contended her ex-husband short-changed her $770 million by misrepresenting the Dodgers' assets during their divorce and believes Frank McCourt knew the true value all along.
Jamie McCourt "had the information, knowledge, experience and evidence that the value of the Dodger assets was greater than what she indicates in her moving papers which she relied upon in entering into the settlement of this matter," Gordon wrote. "Further there is no credible evidence that (Frank McCourt) misrepresented the valuation to her in this case."
Attorney Bert Fields, who represented Jamie McCourt, said the ruling was not unexpected and he plans to appeal it.
"I've said from the beginning that this case will be decided on appeal," Fields said in a statement. "I believe that, at the end of the day, the original judgment, which was massively unfair, will be set aside."
Chuck Burgess, a spokesman for Frank McCourt, declined to comment.
Their marriage was dissolved in October 2010, and less than a year later the Dodgers went into bankruptcy. Frank McCourt's financial future had been in doubt, but the Dodgers' sale made him rich again.
As part of the agreement, Jamie McCourt received $131 million tax-free and several luxurious homes.
In court documents filed early in the divorce case, Jamie McCourt did estimate the value of the team, Dodger Stadium and the surrounding parking lots at $2 billion. But her attorney said she relied on the latest figures given to her and said the amount for a future regional sports network — potentially worth more than $1 billion — was never reflected in documents she saw.
Frank McCourt's lawyers said Jamie McCourt was provided the team's financial documents prior to the settlement being reached in October 2011 and she failed to do her due diligence.
Frank McCourt did not testify during a short trial over the motion to throw out the settlement, but one of his attorneys took the stand and said the former baseball owner has paid more than $460 million in state and federal taxes relating to the sale of the Dodgers.

Project Description
This project developed a comprehensive analysis of programmatic and technical risks associated with CO2 storage in deep brine reservoirs. The study quantified the risks associated with CO2 storage projects by: (1) employing Bayesian inference to evaluate storage risks; (2) utilizing the safety record of the CO2 based enhanced oil recovery industry (CO2-EOR) and pilot storage projects to identify and evaluate potential risks; (3) developing and quantifying the nature of programmatic risks; (4) utilizing diverse, highly qualified expert panels drawn from industry and nongovernmental organizations (NGO) to evaluate changing perceptions of programmatic risks; and (5) assessing the possible consequences to water ecology and energy resources from potential leakage of CO2 from deep brine reservoirs.
Project Benefits
This project focused on developing an improved risk assessment framework for geological storage of CO2. Improved risk assessment methods allow project developers to more confidently ensure that the CO2 is permanently stored. Improved risk assessment technologies contribute to better storage technologies that help reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Specifically, this project used Bayesian inference methods, safety records from analogue projects, expert panels, and technical studies of pressure impacts and potential CO2 release to develop a comprehensive analysis of programmatic and technical risks associated with CO2 storage in deep saline formations.

News Release PRESS CONTACT: Ann Scanlon (617) 514-1662 Read 2004 Winning Essays by Avram Sand (pdf) and William Schmidley (pdf)
Boston -- Will Schmidley, an 18 year-old senior at Pulaski Academy in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Avram Sand, an 16 year-old junior at Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy in New York City, will be honored by Caroline Kennedy and other members of President Kennedy's family during the May 24th Profile in Courage Award ceremony at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum in Boston for their prize-winning entries in the national John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Essay Contest for High School Students. The Profile in Courage Essay Contest invites students from across the nation to write an essay about a current political issue at the local, state or national level and an elected official in the United States who is acting courageously to address that issue. The award is named for President Kennedy's 1957 Pulitzer prize-winning book, Profiles in Courage, which recounts the stories of eight U.S. Senators who risked their careers to fight for what they believed in. The essay contest is sponsored by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and supported by Fidelity Investments through its Fidelity Cares program. The co-winners will each receive a $3,000 first prize. A total of 2,208 essays were submitted by high-school students from across the nation to the annual contest which asks students to write a compelling essay about a U.S. elected official, past or present, who has displayed political courage and worked to make a difference in the world. "Congratulations to Avram Sand and Will Schmidley on their award-winning essays and to the thousands of young people who submitted essays," said John Shattuck, CEO of the Kennedy Library Foundation. "The essay contest fittingly honors President Kennedy who believed deeply in the power of the individual and the promise of our nation's young people. It is gratifying to see how readily students today can identify and understand acts of political courage and their importance in our democratic society." "Fidelity's commitment to civic responsibility is a long, proud tradition. We are pleased to support this contest to encourage student leadership and civic engagement" said Doug Reed, Senior Vice President for Regional Administration, "this contest fits in with our commitment to education, literacy and leadership". Avram Sand on Bernard Confer In his essay, "Bernard Confer: Courage Within His Community," Avram Sand describes the political courage of the president of the board of education in Teaneck, New Jersey, who in the early 1960s sought to rectify racial imbalance in the town's schools by creating an integrated central sixth-grade. A powerful citizens group organized to block Bernard Confer's proposal and to oust him in the upcoming elections. Throughout the process, Confer and his family endured verbal abuse, threats of physical harm, and alienation by neighbors, but citing the school dilemma as "a moral issue" for the community, Confer never backed down. He won re-election by a slim 21 votes, and eventually, once it was in place, the people of Teaneck accepted the integrated central sixth grade. Will Schmidley on George Ryan Will Schmidley writes about the political courage of George Ryan who served as governor of Illinois from 1999 to 2004. Schmidley cited Governor Ryan's courage in imposing the nation's first death-penalty moratorium and altering his personal belief about capital punishment once he became aware of flaws in the Illinois justice system. Ryan had been a stanch supporter of capital punishment; his friend, Steve Small, had been murdered-buried alive following abduction from his driveway. Ryan believed that "some crimes were so heinous that the only proper way of protecting society was execution." But, in 2000, when several investigations revealed a system in Illinois riddled with errors from police brutality to forced confessions, Ryan imposed a death-penalty moratorium. In 2003, because passage of legislation to reform the state's flawed capital punishment system would not be retroactive, Ryan saw it fit to commute the death sentences of the 167 prisoners remaining on death row, including the man who killed Steve Small. Avram Sand is the son of Arlene and Michael Sand of Teaneck, New Jersey, and the brother of Aryeh Sand and Elana Sand. Avram writes for his school newspaper and Currents, a current events magazine. He organizes activities for the Zionist Club, participates in Model Congress activities, and is planning a career in history. Will Schmidley is the son of Eugenia and James Schmidley of Little Rock, Arkansas. A National Merit Finalist, Will plans to play baseball at Dartmouth College where he will be a freshman next fall. He is president of the National Honor Society at his school and hopes to someday have a career as a sportswriter. Avram Sand, Will Schmidley, and their parents will be the guests of the Kennedy family and the Kennedy Library Foundation at the May 24th Profile in Courage Award ceremony in Boston. Both Sand and Schmidley will share the stage with this year's Profile in Courage Award recipients. The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award is presented annually to public servants who have withstood strong opposition to follow what they believe is the right course of action. Past recipients of the award include former U.S. President Gerald Ford, U.S. Senator John McCain, U.S. Senator Russell Feingold, U.S. Representative John Lewis, California State Senator Hilda Solis, former Palos Heights, Illinois, Mayor Dean Koldenhoven, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, and America's public servants who responded to the terrorists attacks of September 11, 2001. The May 24h Profile in Courage Award Ceremony will honor Sima Samar, an Afghan medical doctor who ignored death threats and defied the Taliban for twelve years to provide Afghan girls and women with access to health care and education and who, after the fall of the Taliban in 2001, became the first woman to be appointed to a cabinet position in the interim Afghan government. Former North Carolina State Representative Cindy Watson (R) and former Oklahoma State Senator Paul Muegge (D) will also be honored with 2004 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Awards for their courage in standing up to the powerful hog industry in their respective states in order to protect the environment and the health and well-being of their constituents. For more information about the Profile in courage Award and this year's recipients, go to the Kennedy Library's Web page at www.jfklibrary.org. The winning essays by Sand and Schmidley were selected by a by a distinguished bipartisan committee of national, political, and community leaders.

Kennedy Library Foundation; U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine); and Patricia M. Wald, former judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. John Shattuck, chief executive officer of the Kennedy Library Foundation, staffs the Committee. Mr. Shattuck is a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State and a former U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic. Casey Sparks, a senior at Tualatin (OR) High School earned second place and a $1,000 prize for her essay about the political courage of U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA) who cast the only vote in the House of Representatives against the October 2001 bill that gave President Bush authorization to use any-force-necessary against countries responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Four students were also recognized as finalists in the competition. Joshua Dzieza of Charles Wright Academy in Tacoma, Washington wrote about Senator Russell Feingold. Kasey Lewis of Patagonia (AZ) Union High School discussed Alabama Governor Bob Riley. Matthew DeFinis of Reading (MA) Memorial High School profiled the late Massachusetts Congressman Joseph Moakley. Gretchen Halm of Lincoln-Way High School in Frankfort, Illinois highlighted the courageous actions of Senator C. L. Otter. Each finalist receives a $500 prize. The winning students' nominating teachers were Geoffrey Cahn of Marsh Stern Talmudical Academy and Bill Topich of Pulaski Academy. They will each receive a John F. Kennedy Public Service Grant in the amount of $500 to be used for school projects that encourage student leadership and civic engagement. The John F. Kennedy Library and Museum is a presidential library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration and supported, in part, by the Kennedy Library Foundation, a non-profit organization. The Kennedy Library and Museum and the Kennedy Library Foundation seek to promote, through educational and community programs, a greater appreciation and understanding of American politics, history, and culture, the process of governing and the importance of public service.

Bernstein Ties For 10th
OPELIKA, Ala. — In a difficult opening tournament of the spring season, the Yale men's golf team finished Tuesday in 14th place at the Mar. 11-12 Tiger Invitational.
Hosted by No. 19 Auburn at the Lake Course on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National in Opelika, Ala., the Tiger Invitational marked a tough start to the Elis' spring campaign. The tournament features a highly-ranked field including No. 48 Kentucky, No. 41 North Carolina and No. 26 Wake Forest.
Beset by rough weather which condensed play to one round on Monday, the Bulldogs fought through 36 holes on Tuesday to finish at 933, in 14th place. Mississippi State took home the championship.
The highlight for the Bulldogs was junior Sam Bernstein, who shot successive consistent rounds throughout the tournament to finish in a tie for tenth amid a highly-competitive field of golfers.
Next up for the Elis will be a historic match-up against No. 16 Georgia on Mar. 16 at the Mountain Lake Club in Lake Wales, Fla.
Report filed by James Lu '14, Yale Sports Publicity.

By PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
— A former Goffstown English teacher and track coach is under indictment, accused of having sex with a student at a Concord hotel last year over Christmas break.
Darren Hartung, 48, of 38 Kimball St., Goffstown, was indicted by a Merrimack County Superior Court grand jury Nov. 15 on two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault of a 16-year-old student.
According to the indictments, Hartung picked up the teenage girl on Dec. 27 at her workplace in Bow and took her to a hotel in Concord where they engaged in sexual acts.
The indictments allege Hartung, as her teacher, used his position of authority to coerce the teen to submit.
He also is charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and one count of interference with custody, all misdemeanors.Brian Balke, interim superintendent of School Administrative Unit 19, said Hartung resigned his teaching position on Jan. 9. Balke would not say why Hartung resigned, citing it was a personnel matter, but he said it came a day after administrators received information that was passed on to Goffstown police and the state Department of Education.
"On Jan. 9, he tendered his resignation," Balke said. "The SAU has had no further contact with him since that day."
Hartung taught English at the high school for about 10 years — starting in September 2003 — and was the boys' track coach from 2006-11 and the boys' cross-country coach from 2005-12.
Last year, he was one of four teachers who accompanied 16 students to Lake Worth, Fla., where they helped build homes with Habitat for Humanity.
Judith D. Fillion, director of the Division of Program Support, New Hampshire Department of Education, said Hartung surrendered his teaching credentials after he was indicted, knowing that they would be revoked.

Toys for Tots drive kicks off at AC Expressway Service Plaza
All of the toys collected this week will be transported from the AC Expressway Farley Service Plaza to Atlantic City by an army of Corvettes driven by Corvette lovers from all over the area and from as far away as Virginia, Maryland and Connecticut, said Harry Boyer, organizer of Kerbeck's Annual AC Toys for Tots Corvette Run.
Boyer was joined by Philip Uecker, Atlantic County coordinator for Marine Corps Toys for Tots, who said that more than 10,000 toys were collected in Atlantic County last year, Tommie Sanders, Vice President/General Manager of HMS Host, which operates the Farley Service Plaza for the South Jersey Transportation Authority, and officials from the South Jersey Transportation Authority.
Uecker said the campaign had grown significantly in recent years as a result of partnerships with businesses and organizations like Kerbeck - which has sponsored the Corvette Run for three years -- and HMS Host, the operator of the Farley Service Plaza and McNaughton Garden Center, of Somers Point, which donated holiday decorations for the event.
"The generosity of people in this area is just overwhelming," said Uecker. "People recognize that there are always people in need and they want to help."
Boyer credited staff from the South Jersey Transportation Authority, working closely with State and local police, with helping to map out the logistics presented by the huge Corvette Run. "It is an exciting and heart-warming event and everybody involved just rolls up their sleeves and helps out," said Boyer.
Sanders urged motorists to stop in the Service Plaza this week to drop off unwrapped toys for children and teens in the convenient Toys for Tots collection boxes located just inside the service plaza. HMS Host, whose employees have already contributed dozens of gifts to the campaign, also plans keep the collection boxes available through the holiday season.
We want to be there in any way we can for the local community, said Sanders.
SJTA Executive Director Iannone, who personally deposited several children's gifts into the collection boxes said: "SJTA is always willing and able to do whatever we can to contribute to our community. What could be better than a program that brings holiday cheer to countless thousands of children and teens?"

Hmmm...let me think...
We are both obsessed with music. Seriously. I am a music obsessive.
He's not afraid to be himself, as am I.
I used to bite my nails (I managed to kick the habit - YES!).
He had (has?) piano lessons. I have piano lessons. XD.
I like photography, like him.
I think we have a similar sense of humour.
I'm short. 5 foot 3 and a third. That third of an inch is important!
I love 'The Hobbit', like him.
I LIKE CHOCOLATE! (Who doesn't)
I like foreign accents, and dark hair, just like him. Weird ol' me.
We share a love for indie music. Well, we seem to share tastes in music generally. The Smashing Pumpkins + The Beatles = NOM. XD
We both like video games. Sad much?
Blue is my favourite colour. Wish I had eyes like his though. Mine are just REALLY dark brown/black.
I like standing in the rain. If that counts.
We both wear glasses!
Except, I'm long-sighted, and he's short-sighted.
We both are eccentrics. I hope I'm as genuine as he seems.
I want to see the world.
I think Emma Thompson is a BABE!
How much of a life do I not have if I can think of that many! XD
There's probably a few other things as well...I can't think of any more right now...I'll have to keep coming back! XD

My Similarities to Elijah Wood:
I'm a self-proclaimed nerd,
I'm very down to earth and humble,
I love music,
I adore and appreciate my friendships like he does,
I see the importance of family like he does,
I'm quiet and hate fights and yelling, but unfortunately grew up in a household that had a lot of fights and yelling, maybe that's why I hate it so much.
My Chinese Zodiac is Aquarius like his is,
I like playing video games,
I love collecting things,
I love the dry humor that Brits are famous for,
I'm short, being 4?10 ? to his 5?6, which is my Mom?s height. That's kind of weird to think about actually.
I'm short sighted, but wear glasses because my eyes aren't the right shape for contacts,
I love artichokes like he does,
I love chocolate, especially milk chocolate, much to my body?s discretion since I?m allergic to milk products but put up with the symptoms.
Although he was raised Catholic and I was raised Methodist, the two denominations are kind of similar.
I love the fine arts like he does, but I'm not an actor, I'm a writer. I find it endlessly amusing to think what if I publish one of my stories, it gets turned into a movie, and Elijah Wood plays as one of the characters I wrote?
I love movies, in fact, one of my first memories is when I got my very first movies, The Little Mermaid, The Jungle Book and Peter Pan.
I don't let others tell me who I should be or how I should run my life (maybe it's an Aquarius thing, I was raised this way, so that helps, or maybe it's just me).
I'm trustworthy,
I have integrity,
I greatly value things that most people take for granted,
I'm sincere,
I'm sensitive,
I'm a nail biter and have been since I was five, chewing gum helps my nervousness, but I'll probably always have the bad habit of nail biting.
I put a lot of energy into things I find important and enjoy doing
I'm sweet-natured,
I'm talented,
I'm unassuming with people,
I hate rap, I can only stand it if it's Christian rap,
I have the same hobbies as Elijah does such as writing, reading, photography, singing, dancing, cooking, music, hanging out with friends and family.
I have dogs, but there are three of them instead of two, along with a ton of cats,
I'm shy at first, but will be more open to people once I get to know them,
I enjoy hanging out with different people,
I enjoy learning about different cultures like Elijah does,
I have brown hair (dyed blond to lighten it up),
My name comes from the Bible like Elijah's does,
I don't have the ideal relationship with my father, just like Elijah doesn't, only, my dad never walked out on me and my family, he's too loyal to do that.
I have a lot of patience,
I'd love to see the world,
I have a similar laugh,
I only have a few prejudices,
My personal philosophy is similar to Elijah's,
I have German ancestry,
I love pizza,
I love animals,
I used to take piano lessons like he did,
I like different accents like he does (I've been told I have a Kansas southern accent that will sometimes show up, but for most of my life people have commented on my Northeastern American accent, thanks to a tongue tie I had until it was clipped during high school, but by that time, I was so used to mispronouncing my R's that I've refused to speak any other way).
I'm genuine, but, much to my annoyance, I come off as either old, young, or naive and innocent when people first meet me and I have no idea how to fix this problem. What drives me crazy the most is that I know there's more to me than just the first impression that people get, yet this is how people see me at first. Because of this, I surprise people when they begin to see that there's more to me than they at first thought there was.
Reading over the list of just how many similarities Elijah Wood and I have is actually starting to kind of freak me out. I'm not kidding. It's really weird to think about, and the more I think about it, the more I'm freaked out by it!

Hey Joy that was a really long list... I guess most of us could feel related to many of the topics listed.
I thought double holy crap and how strange how many similarities we have once I began to read a few biographies about him and noticed even more similarities that we have such as values, unusual childhood etc. One of the biographies says Elijah is looking for someone who's beautiful on the inside out, kind, genuine, and loves animals, which is the kind of person I am. The book went on to say that, like most people, Elijah is attracted to people that are in some way opposite than him. Someone that might catch his eye would be introverted, peaceful and calm, the very same qualities that describe myself! I was staring in shock at the book. The fan fiction story "Celebrity Crush in Twenties" describes my feelings about the whole situation.
The whole thing about having so much in common as well as getting the impression that he has qualities that balance me out as well makes the whole situation really freaky for me.

Well let's see...
*I used to be 168 cm, then I grew to be 171 and now I believe I'm standing at 169, so we're about the same height.
*We have both brown hair.
*We both like the colour blue the most, I love cobalt blue, navy, midnight blue and periwinkle blue (though I really like forest green and emerald green very much as well)
*We both got an elvish tattoo (mine is my name in tengwar script). I also have another tattoo.
*We both like English and History, though I'm not fond of the English course I have now and History is boring now, as as our teacher is terrible)
*We both love almost any type of music (though I'm not a huge fan of soul, r'n'b and hip-hop/rap or really noisy heavy metal). I know he's not a fan of country music or heavy metal.
*We both like Emma Thompson.
*We both like the film Love Actually (it's a must see for me every Christmas, at least)
*We have both "divorced" parents, as my parents don't live together.
*We both bite our fingernails, though I don't bite them as much now as I did before.
*We both like to cook, read and sing.
*We love animals (my favourite animals are dog, horse, rat, dolphin, snake, hamster and otter).
*We both like accents, and I love to learn different accents.
*I used to wear glasses at least, as he uses glasses sometimes.
*We both love to play video games.
*I've heard that his favourite city is London, and mine is too.
*His favourite superhero is Batman, and mine is as well (if not couting The Powerpuff Girls and Juniper Lee)
*He went to a catholic school, and so did I. I'm actually a catholic and that happened in my 3rd grade at that school. I don't feel very catholic, but I believe in God and Jesus and that there is something mysterious in our world that cannot always be explained.
I don't think there is anything else we have in common. But I love a funny guy with good sense of humour that I can laugh with.

6 months into job, AG Joseph Foster talks policiesBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 23. 2013 9:19PM
CONCORD - It wasn't the call Joseph A. Foster expected. The governor was on the line letting him know Attorney General Michael A. Delaney would leave office after his term expired at the end of March.
"And the next thing (she said) was, 'Would you be interested?'?" Foster, 54, recounted Gov. Maggie Hassan's mid-March conversation during a recent interview.
"I was surprised," said the Nashua Democrat, who spent 29 years as a corporate lawyer specializing in bankruptcy cases with McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton law firm in Manchester and had no prior experience as a criminal prosecutor.
For Foster, being in charge of the state's law firm and serving as its top law enforcement officer became the perfect blend of law and public service that the former state Senate majority leader craved.
In the six months Foster has been on the job, his office has responded to 15 homicides, has been at the forefront of a massive search for Conway teen Abigail Hernandez, whose Oct. 9 disappearance has drawn national attention, and is investigating Rockingham County Attorney James Reams and temporarily stripped him of his prosecutorial duties while the federal-state probe is ongoing.
Foster's office also has investigated four shootings involving police officers. Two ended in civilians being killed - sparking controversy not only for the circumstances surrounding the homicides, but also his office's refusal to disclose the names of the officers involved until the investigations are complete - a task that can take several weeks to more than three months.
Stands by practice
Foster defends his office's practice to withhold the names of police officers involved in shootings until his criminal prosecutors complete their investigations.
He noted it withheld the name of a Manchester man who fatally shot a home invader in June until the investigation was complete.
"It has resulted in full and complete reports. I don't see any need to change it. I understand the public's desire to know ... I also respect the work that this office does and, when the reports are done, they are done well and there is a feeling that it results in a more complete product and will reduce interference from outside forces," Foster explained during a interview at his office Thursday.
Asked how disclosing the name of a shooter could impede the quality of an investigation, Foster replied, "I would suspect that people may be less willing to be interviewed and talk, and I also would suspect that, if you knew who the officers were, you - reporters generally - there may be things an investigative reporter would do, as well."
Foster, however, said he would review with criminal prosecutors their reasons for wanting to keep these names from the public until investigations are complete - a practice that appears to only have gained traction in the last decade. A review of newspaper accounts from 1989 through 2001 revealed at least a dozen fatal and non-fatal officer-involved shootings in which authorities disclosed the names of the officer and the suspect within days - often within 24 hours of the incident. In most cases, the names were made public while investigations were ongoing.
They included the high-profile and controversial 1989 fatal shooting of Bruce Lavoie by Hudson police Sgt. Stephen Burke, which led to changes in how police trained for drug raids; the 1997 gun battle in which Epsom Police Officer Jeremy Charron was killed; the 1997 wounding of a fugitive rapist Charles Stevens from California, who was cornered in Londonderry and shot with an M-16 fired by a local police officer; and the fatal shooting of state police Sgt. James Noyes during a 1994 gunfight.
But when the Attorney General's Office refused to release the name of the Salem police officer who accidentally shot a colleague in the shoulder during a traffic stop in 2003 six days earlier, then-Senior Assistant Attorney General William Delker claimed the Attorney General's Office "typically" does not release names until "we understand exactly what happened and we've conducted all our interviews."
"It has been done that way as long as I can remember," Delker told the New Hampshire Union Leader at the time. He said there was no written procedure or rule mandating the practice.
Will seek answers
While Foster said criminal bureau prosecutors believe this practice "is the best way to get a full, complete and accurate investigation done," he said: "I will speak to (them) to find out, if I can...."
His office has completed investigations of three of the four officer-involved shootings that occurred under his watch. Three were fatal; two of those resulted in civilian homicides.
One of the most controversial was the Sept. 30 shooting of Wendy Lawrence of Canterbury by state police Trooper Chad Lavoie. Lawrence fled in her car after state police pulled her over on Interstate 89 in Hopkinton, collided into a jersey barrier on the highway, and later led police on a high-speed chase on Interstate 93 that ended on a Manchester side street. Lawrence was shot after she rammed cruisers that blocked her in, refused Lavoie's command to stop and continued to drive toward him. The Attorney General's Office ruled the shooting justified when it released its report two weeks later.
The sole remaining case still under investigation involves the Aug. 14 fatal shooting of a suspected heroin dealer, Alex Cora DeJesus, 35, at a Weare shopping plaza during some type of undercover drug operation that also involved confidential informants. To date, none of the names of the officers involved have been made public.
"The people have been working hard on it," Foster said. "I spent a fair amount of time meeting with them from time to time as the investigation has been progressing. Some of those officers have been interviewed more than once."
Asked whether their stories match up, Foster replied: "The investigation is ongoing."
"I do believe we're nearing the end of our investigation, and I'm hopeful that it will be done by the end of the month," he added.
Other matters
Foster, who served three terms in the state Senate and 1½ terms in the House, said he would like to expand the Consumer Protection Division - a move he said would help both businesses and consumers - and increase the number of attorneys on staff.
With 58 civil and criminal attorneys, the Attorney General's Office is the third- or fourth-largest law firm in the state. It also has 13 paralegals, eight investigators and 41 secretaries, legal assistants and other support staff.
Foster notes the number of staff attorneys has remained nearly static since 1984, when there were 55, even though the population grew by about 300,000 in that time and the number of cases and claims brought against the state increased.
Foster has been addressing groups statewide about the office and its varied functions. "What I've been saying is first, I want to make it the best law firm it can be," he said. This would involve advocating for an increase in the number of staff attorneys. He said he would like to see 65 to 70 attorneys working in the office.
"I don't expect that to happen in just a single budget. It may not happen during my term either," he added of his four-year term, which ends March 31, 2017.
"The amount and quality of work that is turned out from here with the amount of resources we have I think is extraordinary," Foster said.
Search for Abby
State prosecutors have been among those at the forefront of the search for Abigail Hernandez, 15, since her disappearance Oct. 9.
"I have gone up there a few times," Foster said. "The level of effort and coordination among federal, state and local (law enforcement) is extraordinary. ... The citizens would be very proud if they saw what I saw, and I have not seen this before," Foster said.
Foster acknowledged some initial pieces of information released by law enforcement later proved untrue - such as the last time Hernandez' cellphone was used and whether Hernandez made it home before she disappeared.
"I know law enforcement was giving you the best information that they had at all of those times," he said. "Something changed. ... They believed one thing and later they came to believe another," he added, saying he could not elaborate.
A Financial Fraud Unit created by his predecessor is being organized, he said.
Foster said he would like to expand the Consumer Protection Division. Consumer protection is one of those things that, if you have it and if you exercise the power right, there is a real deterrent factor," he said. Business would benefit from it as well as consumers because "if your competition is cheating, you're not competing on a level playing field."

A battle has been building in the service center industry for a few years now. The major protagonists, of course, are Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. and Ryerson Inc., the two largest players—by some distance—in the sector.
Reliance, which has risen to the top of the pile through an extraordinarily aggressive acquisition campaign, is not really a large service center at all. Rather, it is an umbrella organization that owns a multitude of quasi-independent businesses. As long as these businesses meet certain metrics or performance measures, the service centers in the group are essentially free to do their thing. Reliance carries out certain key functions, most important of which is probably counting the mountains of cash the company has made in the past few years.
Ryerson, on the other hand, has pursued a more traditional pattern of consolidation. Acquisitions have been less frequent, but when they've come the operations have tended to be integrated into the core.
In a sense, it's a federal vs. a centralist approach, if you like. And right now, it looks like the federalists are on top.
Of course, it's impossible to tell for sure whether Reliance's relative success is a result of David H. Hannah's hands-off model or a combination of other factors, ranging from seasoned management to the geographic and product markets in which it concentrates. It seems, however, that certain key aspects of the Reliance template have served it well, not the least of which is buying quality assets with quality people in the first place. Although they ultimately report to a higher power, Reliance service centers are for all intents and purposes local businesses with local customers. For the most part, Reliance is not dependent on large national accounts, and that might well be the single biggest key to its success.
Ryerson, on the other hand, is built to handle exactly those major accounts that Reliance has carefully avoided courting. And as any Tier 1 supplier to the automotive industry will tell you, serving big clients that control mega-million-dollar purchasing budgets can be a tough row to hoe.
Having emerged the apparent winner of a protracted proxy fight, Ryerson (and its future new owner) faces a series of tough questions. What's the strategy to be from here? Will Platinum Equity LLC seek to integrate Ryerson, or parts of it, with its existing operations, or will it take a leaf out of Reliance's book and allow the various businesses to run independently?
It's unlikely that Ryerson will turn its back on its major accounts. If the company can manage the relationships properly—and private ownership might give it more freedom to be aggressive in its approach—there is plenty of opportunity and potential implicit in serving sectors such as appliances.
Service centers have taken on an increasingly pivotal role in the steel industry, particularly in recent years. As mills consolidate and grow bigger, the need for suppliers with the flexibility to handle smaller orders has grown. At the same time, large-volume customers—those big enough to buy directly from mills—also have a need. The rigors of just-in-time delivery, for one, have led major manufacturers and the mills that do business with them to rely on various discrete links along the supply chain to warehouse and transport metal from where it is produced to where it's transformed into a manufactured product.
All things considered, is there a preferred model for service center ownership/management and the room and rationale for three or four service centers the size of Ryerson or larger to thrive?
Acquisition-by-acquisition, the industry is on a path toward consolidation, as underscored by the large number of purchases so far in this young century. And many of the most active buyers have been service centers that have followed the Reliance model. Such companies as O'Neal Steel Inc., for example, also allow their acquisitions to conduct business with considerable freedom.
The question remains, however, whether with the right management and backing, a service center that consolidates assets and targets major national clients can prosper in the current manufacturing environment, where major metals consumers are themselves under pressure as a result of increasing competition from China and elsewhere.
Over the next few months Platinum Equity, among others, will have the opportunity—and face the challenge—of proving whether there's life in the Ryerson model yet.

I really enjoyed reading this story it had a really good lesson. But if you want to know the lesson you?ll have to read this book. This book is long but if you like football you?ll enjoy it. I enjoyed reading the games, they were very detailed. Joe was a bad kid and a new school changed his perspective about school and ?snoots?.
I would recommend this book to any kid from ages 10 and up, the vocabulary is tough. But if you love football you should really read this book, if you want to learn about football I would read this book. Halfback Tough is a great book. This book is long but it is worth reading.

Monday's Showers and Storms
Monday's Showers and Storms
It's been a while since I've been able to talk about a good chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms - but over the next couple of days it's very likely you'll be seeing just that.
Today in NW Arkansas there is a 50% chance of showers or storms and in the River Valley the chance is 40%,
We are not necessarily looking for severe weather - but we have already seen some quick downpours with lightning in parts of Benton County this morning.
Highs today will still be in the mid and upper 80s with a few low 90s in the River Valley.
The chance of showers and storms will stick around tomorrow as well, although the chances will be slightly less.

I did a similar thing on my www.musicteachershelper.com website. The only difference is that the right-end quote is displayed directly after the text ends, instead of flush right.
But it never looked perfect in IE (still doesn't) because the last line always has some extra white-space above it, due to the enlarged font-size of the quote. It's beautiful in Firefox, though.
This article gave me hope that it still might be possible to get this effect looking good in IE with just a little more tweaking. Thanks for the great tip!

Security Slideshow: Cyber Crime Trends: Cisco's 2010 Annual Security Report
The volume of spam decreased last year for the first time in the history of the Internet, according to Cisco's 2010 Annual Security Report. And, while spam may be less of a menace than it used to be, cybercriminals and hackers have taken up new targets. They've shifted their focus from Windows PCs to other operating systems and mobile platforms such as smartphones and tablets. In addition, incidences of "money muling" scams have grown. Users are also still vulnerable to the many ways these cybercriminals attempted to lure them into traps. This is creating new security challenges for CIOs struggling to adapt to the evolving security landscape while dealing with tight budgets. "Miscreants are continuing to find new and creative ways to exploit network, system, and even human vulnerabilities to steal information or do damage," says said John N. Stewart, vice president and chief security officer of Cisco. "The challenge is that we need to block their exploits 100 percent of the time if we are to protect our networks and information. They can be right once; we have to be right all of the time. We need to be ever-vigilant in our efforts to protect our assets, information, and ourselves online." Here we take a look at key findings from Cisco's report to reveal what you need to know about today's security ecosystem.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican prosecutors say they will ask Nicaragua to extradite 16 of the 18 Mexicans who allegedly posed as journalists to smuggle $9.2 million in cash into Nicaragua.
The Attorney General's Office says Mexico wants to try the 16 on money laundering charges. They face trial on similar counts in Nicaragua.
The case has made headline because the suspects used vans with logotypes like those used by Mexican television network Televisa. They were caught after entering Nicaragua in August.
Televisa has said that the six vans were illegally registered in the company's name using false documents and that none of the suspects worked for the company.
The 18 Mexicans were allegedly carrying money from Mexican drug traffickers through Central America to pay for a drug shipment.

Tranquilizers are taken by most people for panic disorders and anxiety. Valium or Xanax are usually the drugs taken which have addictive properties and can become dangerous for long term users. Help and treatment are available for individuals with addiction to tranquilizers. It is important to know what they are, how tranquilizers work in the body and what to do if a loved one is suspected of being addicted.
Anxiety and sleep disorders are the most common reason to use tranquilizers. Alcohol has a similar effect in that it depresses the nervous system and slows things down. Sedatives is another word used to describe tranquilizers as the early stage of biochemical processes in the body is sedation or a calm state. Estimates by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) show over 60 million people receive a tranquilizer prescription every year. Commonly abused for its calming effect on the body, brain atrophy has been linked to people who have an addiction to tranquilizers.
Two categories of tranquilizers exist: major and minor. Major tranquilizers are considered antipsychotics due to use for mental health treatment for disorders such as schizophrenia. Drugs such as Haldol, Navane, Thorazine and Mellaril are some of the other major tranquilizers on the market.
Minor tranquilizers do not have the same calming effect and are often abused as they are more addictive than major tranquilizers. Some of the minor tranquilizers are benzodiazepines including Xanax, Ativan, Valium and Librium.
Individuals who abuse tranquilizers and develop an addiction normally demonstrate signs which may include the following:
Dependency on tranquilizers develops first from a calming effect on the body. Once the effect subsides, the person will most likely tend to want more. Additional tranquilizers may be taken which can increase a person's tolerance for the substance. Not only will the individual crave more of the tranquilizers to achieve the same high, but will need to find a way of obtaining more tranquilizers. It is not very difficult to obtain tranquilizers so it is not uncommon for individuals to use them recreationally.
Complications arise when a person develops a dependence then active addiction to tranquilizers whereby the individual cannot think of or do anything else but seek more of the substance to achieve a high. Long term use of tranquilizers has been associated with increased aggressive behavior and extreme depression. Memory loss and cerebral atrophy has also been linked to tranquilizer abuse. Withdrawal symptoms increase while using this drug for a period of time whereby symptoms including rapid heartbeat, insomnia, shaky hands and irritability may occur without more of the substance.
The first step to getting treatment is admission of a problem. Then it is important to locate a detoxification center. Staff there can help ease withdrawal symptoms and thereafter can make decisions about attending a rehabilitation program of one's choosing. Free-standing residential centers are one option to consider when selecting a rehab program to help an individual overcome addiction and make the journey towards recovery.
If you or a loved one struggle with tranquilizer addiction, help is available. Contact Hired Power at800-910-9299 for more information and resources to help you make the recovery journey.
"I have worked with Hired Power extensively in collaboration with Clearview Treatment Programs' individualized outpatient program. I am always impressed with their effectiveness and professionalism."
Slave Rebellion Reenactment (SRR) is a community-based performance that will restage and reinterpret the largest armed rebellion of enslaved people in North American history. The German Coast Uprising took place outside of New Orleans in 1811. SRR will bring to life an episode in the history of slavery that was long hidden from conventional accounts. It is the story of oppressed people who devised an audacious plan to organize, take up arms and seize Orleans Territory, to fight not just for their own emancipation, but to end slavery and establish a state where people of African descent were free. It is a project about resistance and freedom.
The artwork will involve hundreds of re-enactors marching 26 miles over two days. It will be take place upriver from New Orleans in the same locations where the 1811 revolt occurred, amid chemical refineries, box stores, suburbs, gated communities and trailer parks that have cropped up in the vicinity of the former sugar plantations where the revolt began. Each participant will wear authentic period costumes researched and created especially for the reenactment.
SRR will be an impressive and startling sight: 500 black people, some on horseback, armed with cane knives and muskets, flags flying, in 19th century French colonial garments, singing in Creole to African drumming.
Through nearly all of their march to New Orleans, the 1811 rebels were unopposed as they massed, growing in number as they marched 26 miles to the city. In contrast to many war reenactments, SRR will be mainly a procession—reanimating the freedom of movement and destiny that the rebels created for themselves as they travelled to New Orleans.
Slave rebellions were, of necessity, clandestinely organized by a few individuals who enlisted new participants through informal methods of communication and conspiracy across the sprawling landscape of plantations. Slave Rebellion Reenactment is using a similar approach to identifying participants. The organizers are working with individuals throughout the region—at community organizations, colleges, neighborhood centers and other venues—who are charged with recruiting a cell of reenactors and making sure they are appropriately costumed and educated in the history of the rebellion.
Slave Rebellion Reenactment was conceived and initiated by Dread Scott and is being mounted in partnership with Antenna, a New Orleans multi-arts organization, and many collaborators and advisors in New Orleans.

WAUSAU, Wis.—The owner of the Wisconsin Woodchucks plans to spend nearly $3 million to renovate a city-owned stadium in Wausau.
Mark Macdonald owns the Northwoods League baseball team and has a plan to develop the area around Athletic Park. Macdonald says work will start on renovating the 450-seat grandstand after the baseball season is over in August. The grandstand will eventually include premium seats, luxury suites and retail shops.
New bleachers, concession stands and party decks will be built in phases over the next three to five years.
The Wausau Daily Herald ( http://wdhne.ws/14vST7u) says Macdonald will donate land and $20,000 cash to the city for a park next to the stadium. The city plans to add street lighting.

Auburn coach Gene Chizik says the Tigers are "manning up." They're 0-2 for the first time since 2003 and have apparent deficiencies all over the field going into Saturday's game against Louisiana-Monroe.
Chizik said Monday the Tigers won't hold their heads down after a 28-10 loss at Mississippi State. They rank 108th in total offense and 109th in total defense, getting outgained by an average of 163 yards through the first two games.
Quarterback Kiehl Frazier committed five turnovers against the Bulldogs. Wide receiver Quan Bray says, "We need a win real bad."
Defensively, Chizik says the Tigers have to get better at stopping the run and also missed some potential interceptions against the Bulldogs. He says the team "can't wait on a break" but must create its own success.
