“I know coming out as a rookie that I’ll make a few mistakes, but as long as I’m playing fast and hustling to the ball, I’ll be good.” McKinley impressed his teammates.
“He looked good,” linebacker Kemal Ishmael said.
“He went out there and did a good job.
He went out there and played well.” McKinley felt well about how he performed.
“Those were my first one-on-ones,” McKinley said.
“I was just trying to go with a bull rush and try to show of my strength and stuff like that.
To be honest that might be my only rush so far just to kind of help the shoulder feel better.” McKinley’s knows there will be some adjustments to the NFL game.
“The tackles are bigger, stronger and more athletic,” McKinley said.
“They are faster.
The game is faster.
The quarterbacks …you might have a freshman quarterback who takes his time at the line (in college), but in practice you are going against Matt Ryan and it’s quick.
In the NFL you’ve got Cam (Newton) and (Tom) Brady and whoever else.
The games will go by much faster.
It’s all about knowing your plays, getting lined up and going.” He said the shoulder felt fine.
“I put in so much effort since I had surgery on March 6 over the past summer and spring to be where I’m at right now,” McKinley said.
“My goal was to get one percent better each day.
There were no days off, Mondays through Fridays and on Saturdays, I’d come in for treatment, just trying to get right.
“I’ve got the green light, so I’m going out there…whenever they put me out there, I’m just going as hard as I can.” McKinley played the past two seasons at UCLA with the injured shoulder.
“So, now that it’ fit I feel like I can just throw it all over the place,” McKinley said.
“Before it wasn’t fit, I was being real careful and real hesitate.
Now, that it’s fit, that’s the doctor’s job to worry about my shoulder.
My job is to go out here and go as hard as I can.”
On August 22, 2015, at approximately 07:13 a.m., the Coos Bay Police Department dispatch center received a 911 call pertaining to a reckless driver within the Empire District of the City of Coos Bay.
An Oregon State Police Senior Trooper overheard the criminal call and responded to assist.
The Trooper located the suspect vehicle unoccupied and parked on N. Morrison Street in the City of Coos Bay.
The Trooper attempted to contact the registered owner of the vehicle at an adjacent residence to further the investigation into the Reckless Driving complaint.
The Trooper attempted contact at the residence and was unable to contact the registered owner of the vehicle in question.
The Trooper walked away from the residence and was conducting further follow up investigation and documenting suspect vehicle descriptions and identifiers as the vehicle was parked on the side of N. Morrison Street.
As the Trooper was conducting the follow up investigation, an adult male identified as Michael SCOTT, age 25, from North Bend, came out of the residence from which the Trooper had previously attempted to contact the registered owner.
SCOTT approached the suspect vehicle and the Trooper with a digital recording device in hand.
SCOTT proceeded to climb up onto the hood of the car and then sit on the roof of the car with his legs positioned over the windshield, facing the Trooper who was positioned near the front of the suspect vehicle.
The Trooper disengaged contact with SCOTT and walked back towards his patrol vehicle and ultimately re-entered the patrol vehicle.
SCOTT dismounted from the suspect vehicle and followed the Trooper.
SCOTT continued to advance towards the police vehicle, walking in front of it, on the passenger side, across the rear and then advancing towards the driver side.
The Trooper exited his vehicle as SCOTT was approaching him from the rear.
The Trooper was attempting to stop SCOTT from further interfering with his investigation of the original Reckless Driving Complaint.
Coos Bay Police Department responded and arrived to assist with the investigation and further continuing the investigation into the Reckless Driving Complaint.
The Oregon State Police is continuing the investigation into the incident with SCOTT and will be referring the completed criminal report to the Coos County District Attorney’s Office for consideration of the charges of: Interfering with a Police Officer and Disorderly Conduct II.
Other criminal charges may be considered upon the review of the Coos County District Attorney.
Ultra-loved Steve Harvey’s career may be in ultra-trouble.
The famous TV host has been accused of some very ugly behavior.
A two-month investigation into the Family Feud host has apparently uncovered evidence of some racist ranting that, if true, cannot be ignored.
“Spit on white people,” Harvey allegedly said, as per Freedom Daily.
A former employee of Harvey’s, Joseph Cooper, claims to be in possession of tapes of several racial rants and has filed a $20 million lawsuit against Harvey.
Cooper says these types of outbursts were commonplace from Harvey.
According to Cooper, Harvey isn’t just anti-white—he is anti-American.
“I don’t give a s**t about America,” Cooper accuses Harvey of saying.
Cooper says that he has 120 hours of recordings from a 20-year span of Harvey’s career, going back to 1993 and his early stand-up days.
He alleges that this was a pattern of behavior rather than mere isolated incidents.
Harvey is arguably one of the greatest African-American stars in both radio and television.
The Steve Harvey Show, Family Feud, and Little Big Shots draw tens of millions of loyal listeners and viewers on a daily basis.
So, with an empire valued at some $100 million, he has much to lose.
Harvey is not taking this news lying down and has issued a counter-suit against Cooper.
The suit claims that Cooper is seeking to extort and coerce money from Harvey.
Harvey is asking for $5 million in damages.
On this matter, Harvey’s lawyer has said, “Virtually every time Harvey was hired for a television show, [Cooper] would contact the owners or principals to inform them of potentially embarrassing material and/or tapes and attempt to have them influence Harvey to pay for the tapes.” Interestingly, court documents appear to show that Harvey admits to the rants, saying that at times he was edgier than others.
“I didn’t have to concern myself with branding or imaging or anything.
You could just say — I thought I was funnier,” Harvey said.
Cooper alleges that on one tape, Harvey says it would take an hour and a half to explain how badly he hates white people.
He says that Harvey regularly called white people “honkeys.” Special grace is often offered to comedians over these kinds of matters.
Indeed, the edgy nature of their work is often what makes them funny.
However, racism is unacceptable.
Imagine if a white comedian was saying he hates black people, calling them the N-word and calling on folks to spit on them.
Can you imagine the backlash?
What do you think about Harvey’s alleged behavior?

It’s a well-kept secret, but 95% of the climate models we are told prove the link between human CO₂ emissions and catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of temperature stasis, to be in error.
It’s not surprising.
– Maurice Newman, AC, Chair of the Prime Minister’s Business Advisory Council, writing in The Australian newspaper, May 8, 2015.
As the Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s top business adviser, Mr Newman is a person of influence in Australia so his public statements should be held up to scrutiny.
In a recent newspaper column, Mr Newman said discrepancies between climate model forecasts and recorded temperatures begged the question: “Why then, with such little evidence, does the UN insist the world spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on futile climate change policies?” All scientists would agree with Mr Newman that critical analysis of mathematical modelling is a crucial part of science.
But it is a logical fallacy to leap from that valuable topic to describing climate change policies as futile.
Climate models: what they can and can’t do There is a saying in science that “all models are wrong, but some models are useful”.
In simulating any complex system, any model will fail to reproduce all facets of the system perfectly.
Mathematical models may be imperfect but they are extremely helpful to predict the weather, design aeroplanes and even test new vaccines.
They are essential to modern life.
A major part of scientific research is not only developing models, but determining how they are best employed.
When asked for a data source to substantiate his 95% claim, Mr Newman referred The Conversation to research by a range of scientists including Professor Judith Curry from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Professor John Christy from the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Mr Newman said these researchers had identified errors in climate modelling.
Mr Newman also quoted former NASA scientist and University of Alabama in Huntsville research scientist, Dr Roy Spencer as saying: … the climate models that governments base policy decisions on have failed miserably.
I’ve updated our comparison of 90 climate models versus observations for global average surface temperatures through 2013, and we still see that >95% of the models have over-forecast the warming trend since 1979, whether we use their own surface temperature dataset (HadCRUT4), or our satellite dataset of lower tropospheric temperatures (UAH).“ It’s true that over the last two decades modelled surface temperatures have generally risen faster than temperatures recorded in real life.
But there are good reasons for that and it doesn’t mean we should take the prospect of climate change any less seriously.
Why don’t the models match observed temperatures?
What Mr Newman described as a "well-kept secret” has actually been the subject of numerous scientific papers These papers show that the recent discrepancy between projections and recorded temperatures is very likely due to random fluctuations in the climate system.
The “problem” is clearly seen in this graph showing that modelled surface temperatures have generally tracked above observed temperatures over recent years.
This graph depicts two well known global surface temperature observational datasets, the UK’s HadCRUT and the US’ NASA GISS.
To understand what’s happening, it is critical to realise that the climate changes for a number of reasons in addition to CO₂.
These include solar variations, volcanic eruptions and human aerosol emissions.
The influence of all these “climate drivers” are included in modern climate models.
On top of this, our climate also changes as a result of natural and largely random fluctuations – like the El Nino Southern Oscillation, ENSO and the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, [IPO] – that can redistribute heat to the deep ocean (thereby masking surface warming).
Such fluctuations are unpredictable beyond a few months (or possibly years), being triggered by atmospheric and oceanic weather systems.
So while models do generate fluctuations like ENSO and IPO, in centennial scale simulations they don’t (and wouldn’t be expected to) occur at the same time as they do in observations.
Indeed, if some advanced civilisation were to make an exact copy of Earth, the copy would also fail to reproduce the fluctuation associated with the recent slowdown in temperatures.
This is not a modelling failure, this is just a fact of life in dealing with complex systems.
So, yes, as the figure shows there are multiple decadal periods in the past where the models either overestimate or underestimate the observed warming.
Despite this, its clear that the overall modelled surface warming over the course of more than a century is only off by a very small margin.
Ocean temperatures more reliable Rather than relying on surface temperature to keep track of global warming, it is far more reliable to look at total ocean heat content or its twin, ocean sea level (which reflects ocean heat content plus land ice melt).
These metrics are far less sensitive to random fluctuations as they don’t suffer from the complications of heat redistribution.
Moreover, over 90% of the additional heat from anthropogenic warming goes into the ocean, with only a small fraction going to raising surface temperatures.
Based on these more representative metrics, there is no “pause” in either the observations or in the climate models.
