Good luck slowing down the runaway train—the Aggie offense—anytime soon
by Homer Jacobs
12th Man Magazine
In today's college football, defensive coordinators at major programs are cashing paychecks that were once reserved for the head coach.
Call it hazard pay.
Because to watch an offensive machine like Texas A&M is enough to make Nick Saban pull out his well-coiffed hair, which is what it looked like when the Aggies rolled up a staggering 628 yards of total offense on the proud and usually punishing Alabama defense on Sept. 14.
"If I were to come back as a coach, I'd be a receivers coach," said former A&M coach R. C. Slocum. "I wouldn't want any part of being a secondary coach or defensive line coach."
Indeed, even the defensive-minded Slocum is fully aware of the nightmare that is trying to defend A&M's incredible, multi-faceted offense that has become a Kevin Sumlin staple.
It wasn't that long ago that the Aggies, including many years under Slocum, were plodders on offense, hell bent on playing defense with solid special teams.
- Hall of Fame Coach R.C. Slocum
The evolution of offense in college football has been fascinating, from the days of the wing T to the Wishbone era under Emory Bellard to the two-back, I-formation look in the 1980s and 1990s.
But the spread look, "Air Raid" offshoot of the original run-and-shoot made famous by the Houston Cougars under Jack Pardee and John Jenkins is all the rage these days, and A&M certainly is one of the modern-day pioneers of breakneck basketball on grass.
How much has the A&M offensive attack transformed over the years? Well, just 15 years ago in the Aggies' Big 12 championship season, A&M did not top the 40-point mark in any of its 14 games. It scored over 30 points just twice in wins over Baylor (35-14) and Kansas State in double overtime (36-33).
In '98, the Aggies averaged 312 yards of total offense a game, while the 2012 team averaged 316.5 yards passing per game. In the Wishbone heyday in 1975, the Aggies' total passing output for the year was 556 yards. In one game this fall (Sam Houston State), the Aggies passed for 500 yards.
"I wouldn't get a whole lot of sleep the week before the ballgame," said former A&M defensive back great Dave Elmendorf on the thought of facing the 2013 Aggies. "There are just so many weapons. The A&M offense is so capable in so many ways. It always starts up front because the offensive line is just outstanding. But then you look at all the other weapons that this offense has, with a stable of running backs who are all very capable, great wide receivers with height and jumping ability like Mike Evans.
"And then you add to that the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, and I think he's the catalyst. He's what makes this offense so unstoppable."
Manziel, no doubt, is the maestro of the Aggie juggernaut, turning a tricky spread offense into a head-spinning offensive machine.
A&M was averaging just under 600 yards of total offense (586.4) heading into the Ole Miss game, and its 628 total yards were the most Alabama had allowed in its long and storied football history.
While Oregon operates at warp speed and runs the ball more out of the spread offense, A&M can run a power back, throw deep to a 6-foot-5 Mike Evans, hit Malcome Kennedy on a bubble screen or find the tight end for a touchdown on play-action.
And then there's the magic of Manziel.
"You look at last year's two defeats, and it was a case of a young and inexperienced Johnny Manziel," said former A&M linebackers coach Alan Weddell, an unabashed follower of A&M football. "So basically they had the athletes at LSU and Florida who could line up and man up with our people and had enough of them to take that stuff away. I don't think they have them this year. I don't think anybody does.
"Johnny has matured so much that he can do so many more things now. What has impressed me most about Johnny this year is his accuracy. He's putting the ball on the spot where people can't catch it unless it's our receiver."
In year two of the Sumlin spread, Manziel has complete command of the offense, and it's paying huge dividends. Formerly checking with the sideline often for audibles, the redshirt sophomore is now surveying the defense and switching plays at the last second with incredible subtlety.
Some signals to his receivers amazingly unfold mid-snap.
"The defense doesn't know what we're going to do, and sometimes we don't know what we're going to do," Kennedy says. "It's just special with Johnny being back there. We just have a few signals, and a lot of them look the same, it's just different hand motions. It's like a sign language out there. All of them are very quick, so it's hard for the defenses to see. Johnny does a lot of them behind the offensive line. He'll give them a number that coordinates with the signal. Sometimes, it's too subtle for (the receivers).
"As a receiver, we're always taught to keep our eyes on Johnny because he could change the play as the snap is coming out. Mike (Evans) is the outside receiver so he'll be looking at me because I relay the signals to him. Johnny will snap the ball and catch the ball with two hands, but he'll change the signal right before he catches the ball. It's crazy."
So, the Aggies have the best player in college football, perhaps in the history of the game, flashing signals at the last possible moment in a hurry-up mode, and then he has the option to hand off to a stable of quality running backs, while standing behind one of the nation's best offensive lines, while waiting for a 6-5 receiver to come open.
Indeed, the old run-and-shoot seems so pedestrian.
"There are very few around the country who have the commitment to this offense," Slocum added. "You see parts of it among different schools and elements of it. I don't know of anyone that has the whole package like we do.
"I think Kevin was holding out on me when he was coaching for me (in 2002). I wish he had broken out the whole package. This offense is a lot more complex than the run-and-shoot was."
Slocum said his teams were able to defend the run-and-shoot because the Aggies had elite speed at linebacker and shutdown cover corners who could allow A&M to incorporate numerous blitz packages.
Oh, and the Houston Cougars employed an old football standard—the huddle.
"The big difference is the speed—how many plays you're trying to get in," said Weddell, now the assistant head coach/running backs coach at Brazoswood High School. "In the old run-and-shoot, you had time to line up defensively, time to call your blitz, time to disguise your coverages. Nowadays, you're snapping the ball every 20 seconds or so and you're just lucky to get lined up and ready to play.
"I remember asking Mike Sherman, (Clemson offensive coordinator) Chad Morris and Kliff Kingsbury all the same question: Are you worried about teams stealing your signals? All three of them said the same thing: If you're stealing our signals, we're not going fast enough. And that's what it's all about."
The offensive numbers in college football can also be traced back to the trends in high school ball, most notably the penchant for the most athletic players to play on the offensive side of the ball. The wide receiver position—not running back or linebacker—has become the cool spot if you're not playing quarterback.
- Alan Weddell, former A&M LBs coach
And in Texas, the style of play in the state has changed dramatically with the advent of the 7-on-7 leagues in the summer that emphasize throwing and catching.
Indeed, the Who's Who of quarterbacks in college football recently have been bred in the spread passing games of the Texas high school ranks. Over the past three years, Heisman runner-up Andrew Luck, Heisman winner Robert Griffin III and Manziel have all been products of prep football in the Lone Star State.
"We just have a bunch more really good receivers and really good throwers because they do it a bunch coming up in high school," Slocum said. "They do it all summer long and then in the games. That just used to not be the case."
The Aggies are posting mind-boggling offensive statistics that are likely to balloon the rest of the season. To think that this A&M team might top last year's unit, which led the Southeastern Conference in total offense, passing, rushing and points scored, is mind-boggling.
But the numbers don't lie:
A&M opened the 2013 season scoring at least 40 points in each of the first five games for the first time in school history.
Heading into the Ole Miss game, A&M had scored 40 points or more for eight straight games dating back to the 2012 season.
The Aggies have surpassed 400 yards in every game but one under Sumlin, and they have reached the 500-yard mark 12 times heading into the Ole Miss game.
Since moving to a more up-tempo offense in 2009, the Aggies have reached the 400-yard plateau 44 times and have hit the 500-yard mark 29 times. In the 10 years prior to 2009, A&M hit the 400-yard mark just 18 times out of 116 games.
Very few coaches thought the Wishbone would be figured out, but that offense went the way of the Sony Walkman, and many thought the run-and-shoot was unstoppable until Jenkins' program fizzled into mediocrity.
But the hurry-up, no-huddle offenses in college football are here to stay. Texas A&M's offensive resurgence has proven to be the ultimate litmus test.
"Eventually, defenses will catch up, but I'm not sure how," Weddell said. "The game has changed forever a little bit. People are still looking for (answers). They just don't have answers right now unless you have (superior) personnel. And now A&M has just got too good of personnel.
"I think we'll see that even when Johnny leaves. We'll see a really good quarterback, but he's not going to be Johnny Manziel. But the system is going to be there, and it will work. It's a special time."
Added Elmendorf: "Maybe they will (figure it out). But you give Alabama—who arguably has as good talent as anybody on defense—a year to play a scheme that's going to stop A&M, and A&M puts up 42 and it should have been more. And Alabama gave up more yardage than it has in its history. No, they haven't figured out a way to stop it, and I don't think they're going to."
A worn-out Nick Saban surely can attest.

Lessard and Martin advance to main draw on World Tour circuit
The tournament is also the second of five this season designated as a Grand Slam tournament with prize money nearly doubled to $300,000.
Lessard and Martin opened the qualifying round defeating Natalia Dubovcova and Dominika Nestarcova of
''They were two really nice wins,'' said Martin, who posted three ninth-place finishes with Lessard on the circuit last season. ''We played well in both matches and were very consistent. What made the difference today was our service which put us in a great position in each match. That was an area we really needed to improve upon from our earlier tournaments this year.''
The Canadian pair, seeded 22nd, now compete in a round robin style tournament in the main draw. They are in a four-team pool with sixth-seeds Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig of
Lessard and Martin open against the Austrians Wednesday and play their final two round robin matches Thursday. The top team in each of the eight pools advances to the round of 16 while second and third will battle it out in a playoff to grab those other eight round of 16 spots.
''Winning both matches 2-0 gives us a lot of momentum,'' said Martin. ''We were at our best and that gives us a lot of confidence. We're looking forward to more success.''
The men's qualification goes Wednesday. Christian Redmann and Richard Van Huizen of

Cancer treatment can interfere with ejaculation by damaging the nerves that control the prostate, seminal vesicles, and the opening to the bladder. It can also stop semen from being made in the prostate and seminal vesicles. Despite this damage, a man can still feel the sensation of pleasure that makes an orgasm. The difference is that, at the moment of orgasm, little or no semen comes out.
Over time, most men say an orgasm without semen feels normal. Some others say the orgasm does not feel as strong, while others report that the orgasm is stronger and feels more pleasurable. Men often worry that their partners will miss the semen. Most of the time, their partners cannot feel the actual fluid release, so this is generally not true.
Some men's chief concern is that orgasm is less satisfying than before. Others are upset by "dry" orgasms because they want to father a child. If a man knows before treatment that he may want to have a child after treatment, he may be able to bank (save and preserve) sperm for future use. (See the "How cancer treatment can affect fertility" section for more on this.)
Some men feel that their orgasm is weaker than before. A mild decrease in the intensity of orgasm is normal with aging, but it can be more severe in men whose cancer treatments interfere with ejaculation of semen. See "Is there a way to make orgasms as intense as they used to be?" in the "Dealing with sexual problems" section.
Surgery can affect ejaculation in 2 different ways. The first is when surgery removes the prostate and seminal vesicles, so that a man can no longer make semen. The other is surgery that damages the nerves that come from the spine and control emission (when sperm and fluid mix to make semen). Note that these are not the same nerve bundles that pass next to the prostate and control erections (which are discussed in the section "How pelvic surgery to treat cancer can affect erections"). The surgeries that cause ejaculation problems are discussed in more detail here.
Dry orgasm
After radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate) and cystectomy (removal of the bladder), a man will no longer produce any semen. The sperm cells made in his testicles ripen, but then the body simply reabsorbs them. This is not harmful. After these cancer surgeries, a man will have a dry orgasm or an orgasm without semen.
Sometimes the semen is there, but doesn't come out
There are other operations that cause ejaculation to go back inside the body rather than come out (this is called retrograde ejaculation). At the moment of orgasm, the semen shoots backward into the bladder rather than out through the penis. This is because the valve between the bladder and urethra stays open after some surgical procedures. This valve normally shuts tightly during ejaculation. When it's open, the path of least resistance for the semen becomes the backward path into the bladder. This is not painful or harmful to the man. When a man urinates after this type of dry orgasm, his urine looks cloudy because the semen mixes in with it during the orgasm.
A transurethral resection is an example of an operation that usually causes retrograde ejaculation. This surgery cores out the prostate by passing a special scope into it through the urethra; this often damages the bladder valve.
Nerve damage
We have already discussed the nerve bundles that sit on both sides of the prostate and help cause erections. Now, we are talking about the nerves that come from the spine and control ejaculation. The cancer operations that can cause dry orgasm by damaging the nerves that control emission (the mixing of the sperm and fluid to make semen) are:
- Abdominoperineal (AP) resection, which removes the rectum and lower colon
- Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, which removes lymph nodes in the belly (abdomen), usually in men who have testicular cancer
Some of the nerves that control emission run close to the lower colon and are damaged by AP resection. Lymph node removal (dissection) damages the nerves higher up, where they surround the aorta (the large main artery in the abdomen).
The effects of the 2 operations are probably very much alike, but more is known about sexual function after lymph node surgery. Sometimes the node dissection only causes retrograde ejaculation. But it usually paralyzes emission. When this happens, the prostate and seminal vesicles cannot contract to mix the semen with the sperm cells. In either case the result is a dry orgasm. The difference between no emission at all and retrograde ejaculation is important if a man wants to father a child. Retrograde ejaculation is better for would-be fathers because sperm cells may be taken from a man's urine and used to make a woman pregnant.
Sometimes the nerves that control emission recover from the damage caused by retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. But if ejaculation of semen does resume, it can take up to 3 years for it to happen. Because men with testicular cancer are often young and have not finished having children, surgeons have nerve-sparing methods that often allow normal ejaculation after retroperitoneal node dissection.
In experienced hands, these techniques have a very high rate of preserving the nerves and normal ejaculation. (See Testicular Cancer for more information.) Some medicines can also restore ejaculation of semen just long enough to collect sperm for conception. If sperm cells cannot be recovered from a man's semen or urine, infertility specialists may be able to retrieve them directly from the testicle by minor surgery, then use them to fertilize a woman's egg to produce a pregnancy.
Retroperitoneal node dissection does not stop a man's erections or ability to reach orgasm. But it may mean that his pleasure at orgasm will be less intense.
Urine leakage during ejaculation
Climacturia is the term used to describe the leakage of urine during orgasm. This is fairly common after prostate surgery, but might not even be noticed. The amount of urine varies widely – anywhere from a few drops to more than an ounce. It's more common in men who also have stress incontinence. (Men with stress incontinence leak urine when they cough, laugh, sneeze, or exercise. It's caused by weakness in the muscles that control urine flow.)
Urine is not dangerous to the sexual partner, though it may be a bother during sex. The leakage tends to get better over time, and condoms and constriction bands can help. (Constriction bands are tightened at the base of the erect penis and squeeze the urethra to keep urine from leaking out.) If you or your partner is bothered by climacturia, talk to your doctor to learn what you can do about it.
Other cancer treatments
Some cancer treatments reduce the amount of semen that's produced. After radiation to the prostate, some men ejaculate only a few drops of semen. Toward the end of radiation treatments, men often feel a sharp pain as they ejaculate. The pain is caused by irritation in the urethra (the tube that carries urine and semen through the penis). It should go away over time after treatment ends.
In most cases, men who have hormone therapy for prostate cancer also produce less semen than before.
Chemotherapy very rarely affects ejaculation. But there are some drugs that may cause retrograde ejaculation by damaging the nerves that control emission.

A small plaque in Woodstock's historic town square marks the spot where the character repeatedly stepped into a puddle in the movie.
More than 70 historic autos including presidential limousines, Al Capone's car and movie cars such as the Batmobile, PLUS hundreds of "pieces of history" and constantly changing exhibits make this museum a step above the standard auto museum.
A Victorian town square, complete with bandstand and gazebo, is the setting for many unique shops, eateries, antiques stores and art galleries. The square is home to many events, and was the film site for the hit movie Groundhog Day.

Canada's Olympians eliminated at beach volleyball World Cup trials
TORONTO – Canada's Olympic men's beach volleyball team of Josh Binstock of Toronto and Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., playing with different partners, were both eliminated on Friday at the World Cup Canadian team trials.
The competition is being held at the indoor Beach High Performance Facilityat Downsview Park.
In the first semifinal, Binstock and Maverick Hatch of Comox, B.C., lost to Christian Redmann and Matt Zbyszewski of Toronto 21-18, 19-21, 15-11. The winning pair had only played once together before in competition and came into Friday's match with five practices under their belts.
''We felt we did well,'' said Redmann. ''We knew it was going to be a choppy match and we were going to have to scrap it out. Matt is a very easy partner to adapt to and tonight we definitely would not have won this match without his quality serving.'
In the second semifinal, Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., and Ben Saxton of Calgary beat Reader and Sam Schachter of Toronto, a world junior champion, 21-16, 21-14.
"We were confident going into the match," said Schalk, who won a NORCECA (North, Central America and Caribbean) event this past September with Saxton. "We have really good chemistry and a great ability to rebound after a missed play.
Saturday's final is at 6:30 p.m., at the indoor Beach High Performance Facility at Downsview Park in Toronto.
On the women's side, Liz Maloney and Heather Bansley of Toronto have already locked up the World Cup spot. They were Canada's top-ranked international team all season.
The FIVB World Cup final will be held January 9-13 in Brazil and will offer more than $300,000 in cash prizes.
The Trials are streamed live on the www.volleyballsourcemag.com website.

I want a baby walrus so bad now... TOO CUTE!
The Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward has been caring for two orphaned walruses in recent months. The animals, named Pakak and Mitik, require around-the-clock care and seek out frequent contact with their caregivers. Both were discovered near Barrow in summer. The animals will soon move to new homes at zoos in Indianapolis and New York. Photographed on October 4, 2012.

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
SHANNON – Jerry Grubbs of Shannon honored his wife's memory Tuesday night when he was sworn in as the newest member of the Shannon Board of Aldermen, filling the seat vacated when Debra Grubbs died in February.
Debra Grubbs served as alderwoman of Shannon's Ward 3 for 10 years before her death Feb. 25 at age 62.
"Her heart was in public service," said Grubbs. "She tried to do anything to help the town and the citizens of the town. She had a real heart for people."
After her death, Shannon Mayor Ronnie Hallmark called Grubbs and asked him to fill the seat and finish her term.
"I felt it an honor to get to fill out the rest of her term as an alderman and I'll do as much as I can to follow in her footsteps and do what I can for the citizens of Shannon," Grubbs said.
Hallmark said he and the rest of the Shannon board decided Grubbs would be a good fit to fill his wife's seat until the term is up at the end of June.
"She was real nice to work with and real easy going and liked doing the right thing," said Shannon Mayor Ronnie Hallmark. "She loved people and working for her town and the people that live in this town. She's truly going to be missed. Not only did we work together, but she was my friend."
State law allows a municipal board to appoint someone to fill a vacancy instead of holding a special election if the term has less than six months remaining.
Grubbs said he will do his best to follow in the footsteps of his wife of 45 years this month.
"She had no special project in mind, just helping all the citizens of Shannon, especially Ward 3, with daily service," he said.

Ensuring Academic Quality
Ensuring academic quality
A cornerstone of Franklin's educational philosophy
Franklin University expands the term "academic quality" beyond its conventional definition to include elements specific to our nontraditional student body. From the students' perspective, quality largely equates to the experience they have in the classroom, whether on campus or online.
As educators, we are responsible for ensuring an excellent learning experience by providing the planning, resources, and assessment that culminate in courses that contribute to the achievement of program outcomes in support of students' overall educational and professional goals.
Curriculum Development Team
Student Learning and Effective Teaching
Director of Teaching Effectiveness
Faculty Scholarship
Organization Relationships and Partnerships
Curriculum Development Team
Franklin's curriculum development process is central to maintaining the academic quality of its programs and courses.
One of the hallmarks of the University's success is our innovative and effective curriculum development approach. The team involved in curriculum development consists of doctorally trained faculty and external content contributors who are selected based on their areas of expertise, qualifications, knowledge, and skills. Collectively, the team members take on a variety of academic responsibilities and work on the curriculum design, drawing strength from their substantial academic preparation and professional experiences.
Maintaining quality academics, from Franklin University's perspective, entails:
- Selecting, developing, and overseeing of faculty with credentials appropriate to the courses they teach and additional responsibilities they fulfill
- Providing education consistent with the accreditation standards, industry trends, and developments in the field of higher education
- Using industry experts to both contribute to the development of curricula and teach it in combination with a meaningful infusion of their own professional experience
- Ensuring that all students benefit from a consistent, well-rounded curriculum that creates a cohesive program of study
- Adapting to the needs of nontraditional students to provide an education that is relevant to their professions and lifestyles
- Providing the learning, experiences, and knowledge that students desire
Course Design. Each course is designed and assessed by a course development team consisting of course development faculty, instructional design faculty, instructional faculty, and external content contributors.
In addition, each program has an external program advisory board comprised of industry professionals who provide the program chair with feedback on current program design features and input for curriculum planning and improvements.
Student Learning and Effective Teaching
Franklin values and supports effective teaching, as illustrated by the University's qualified faculty, assessment standards, standardized curriculum development, instructional aids, and faculty guides. These factors, along with resources and policies, help deliver consistent, quality education to students.
- The University supports professional development designed to facilitate effective teaching.
- The support and preparation that Franklin provides ensures its faculty are well equipped to succeed in the classroom.
- Because assessment is a vital component of ensuring effective learning, the institution makes resources available in support of assessment initiatives.
- Assessment results inform improvements in curriculum, pedagogy, instructional resources, and student services.
Through pedagogical study, practice, and observation, the University has come to support the following beliefs:
Teaching. The most effective teaching reflects an understanding of learning as multidimensional, integrated, and consistently demonstrated by the student over a sustained period of time.
Assessment. To gauge a student's learning success, the University must identify what students actually know and what they can do with this knowledge through assessment. Only through effective assessment of student learning can the University improve education. This assessment must be measurable to lead to improvement.
Director of Teaching Effectiveness
With more than 500 adjunct faculty members to manage, Franklin University added a new level of precision to its teaching assessment process by adding a Director of Teaching Effectiveness position in late 2007.
In this role, the Director of Teaching Effectiveness is responsible for creating and maintaining a formal process to define, measure, and document faculty teaching effectiveness, and to put into place processes to create consistent quality performance at all program levels. This individual is charged with implementing methods to compare teaching performance with educational purposes and expectations that are derived from the University's mission, program and course designs, as well as from knowledge of how students best learn.
Faculty Scholarship
The view of faculty scholarship at Franklin is broad and encompasses activities that lead to intelligent practice in course development, course quality assurance and instruction, and effective teaching. Ultimately, the University's primary focus of faculty scholarship is to feed academic quality and support the preparation of students for the realities of the world they face.
In support of this position, Franklin bases its conception of scholarship on Ernest Boyer's work, as discussed in Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professorate. From this perspective, scholarship includes four interrelated facets: Integration, Discovery, Teaching, and Engagement.
Scholarship of Integration features most prominently in the work of Franklin's faculty. This involves:
- Conducting literature reviews on course content
- Incorporating real-world scenarios based on interactions with external content contributors
- Integrating academic content across academic disciplines
- Illuminating theory in light of practice
- Designing learning material in a way that allows content to inform intelligent practice
These activities are done through the preparation of new materials for use in courses, creation of teaching aids, and via interaction with course development team members so that their collective knowledge informs the design of curriculum and instruction.
Three other forms of scholarship, as noted by Boyer, work hand in hand to support the primary activity of the faculty.
Scholarship of Discovery, in Boyer's view, "contributes not only to the stock of human knowledge but also to the intellectual climate of a college or university."
Scholarship of Teaching addresses the responsibility of the faculty to be knowledgeable of course content and delivery, and to effectively teach
Scholarship of Engagement includes professional service or work based on the faculty member's field of expertise. The assumption is that experience in practical settings leads to a better understanding of the practical consequences and real effects of theories espoused in the classroom, while a better understanding of the practical consequences leads to the formulation of better theories and better course materials, eventually benefiting students and the society they serve.
Organization Relationships and Partnerships
In an effort to determine the effectiveness of Franklin's educational offerings, the institution taps into the collective knowledge of program advisory boards and, at all levels of the University, maintains relationships with business leaders. These contacts include site visits by representative of Franklin's Advancement and Strategic Relations department. This level of community involvement and solicitation of knowledge from industry professionals is an important element in keeping Franklin's offerings, programs, and curricula relevant to the world in which its graduates must succeed.
Franklin utilizes employers in central Ohio as an assessment resource. Input from these employers is considered essential in the evaluation of the University's programs and the thoroughness and relevance of education from Franklin University as it applies to the workplace. Franklin considers the significant number of area companies that employ Franklin University alumni and students to be concrete evidence of the success of the University's programs in preparing students to function effectively in a global, diverse, and technological society.
International companies such as Nationwide, Huntington Banks, and Cardinal Health are headquartered in Columbus and have Franklin graduates working in locations around the world.

Seems like myk's solution works. Easiest way to test is to use the decorations conveniently placed right at the edge to test it. Straferunning against them and running off the platform with the boost does not generate the bug in Doom v1.9.

I think I agree with Never_Again, I don't see that this proves anything. Making it down to the bottom of the pit was fairly easy for me in Ultimate Doom 1.9, I usually did it in a flying jump like in your demo. The real tricky part is finding a way to start climbing the eternal staircase without the game crashing, and that's what Never_Again solved.

Posted on 08/16/2012 9:29:57 PM PDT by doug from upland
NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) Its a case of a woman with burned buttocks, literally! A Dallas Cowboys fan is suing the organization and owner Jerry Jones over burns she says she received because of their negligence.
Jennelle Carrillo, of Cleburne, received severe burns to her backside after allegedly sitting on a bench outside Cowboys Stadium.
She sat down on this black bench, outside an entrance and unfortunately she suffered third-degree burns as a result of it and had subsequent skin grafts, explained Carrillos lawyer, Michael Wash.
The incident occurred in August of 2010, when Carrillo attended the Blue & Silver scrimmage football game. Temperatures on the day of the game were reportedly more than 100 degrees.
Wash said his client didnt stay for the game. She knew, while she was there at the stadium, that she had received some burns. But she didnt realize how serious they were until she received medical attention.
After seeking that medical attention Wash said Carrillo was hospitalized for about a week [and] had some very serious injuries.
Click Here To Read The Entire Lawsuit
Part of the lawsuit, filed in Tarrant County civil court, states specifically, The bench was uncovered and openly exposed to the extremely hot August sun. The combination of the nature of the black, marble bench and hot sunlight caused the bench to become extremely hot and unreasonable dangerous.
The suit goes on to state that the stadium didnt warn Carrillo or others about hot bench dangers and that there were no signs posted warning that the bench was hot.
Wash said his client suffered mental anguish, physical pain and disfigurement as a result of her wounds.
Carrillo isnt seeking a specific amount from those named in the lawsuit, but is suing to get a jury trial and payment of court fees, interest and a damage amount determined by said jury.
The Dallas Cowboys are staying mum on the issue, as their policy is not to comment about ongoing litigation.
How much better would our society be with more doctors and fewer lawyers?
I say she burned her own biscuits! Didn't her momma teach her to check the temprature of the griddle before dropping chunks of lard on it?
"The bench was uncovered and openly exposed to the extremely hot August sun"
So..........this rocket scientist sat on it?
She was drunk. Dismissed.
A thread like this is meaningless without pictures....
....and let's keep it that way!
What a dumb ass.
Wow, a black seat in the sun on a hundred degree day is dangerously hot... Who knew? What a dumb blonde, seriously. Hey, coffee is served hot, don't hit your thumb with the hammer, knives are sharp... Any other common sense you're lacking miss?
I hate these stupid lawsuits!
Really burns my ass!!
Yeah, I get the mental anguish part.
The girl in blue stripes spells it the same =
I want on that jury.
I'd sue them for fraudulently impersonating an NFL team for the past 15 years.
Probably right. Her friend is from Hometown: PLAINVIEW.
Whatever happened to using common sense now.
I always thought "that really burns my ass" was just a figure of speech...
What was she wearing? Sounds like she may have had shorts on, and any kid who has attempted to slide down a slide in the playground in summer knows better than to do it again.
Incidents like this one really burn my ass!
In Texas it's dangerous to sit in an old car with vinyl seats. My people called it naugahide. They stopped making it. I guess the naugas were hunted to extinction.
sometimes i wish i were a dumb ass so i could do something so stupid and sue somebody over it...
No, they just learned to hyde during huntin' season. :-)
Now that's one hot azz!
Who the heck puts a black bench in a region where it gets very hot? They should be sued over this one.
Well, in this case, I am with the lawyers. Good grief. A black marble bench in the Texas sun is as hot as a skillet.
Not many people have the experience nowadays, and they danged sure didnt learn about black bodies in school. It was stupid of the designer to put it there. Even in a winter sun it would be near body temperature
She's suing? My achin ass!
Is she hot?
Is she hot?
Mmmmm, don't you just love Tex-Mex cooking?
Anything for a buck.
Now doesn't that just burn your arss?
Put some ice on your fat ass!
Most people with a brain as small as a pea would still have the common sense to immediately jump up off a hot seat.
However, we can blame this one on Obama's green energy fiasco. The solar seat (the hot bench) was warmed by the sun to eliminate the need to use fossil fuel to warm the bench. However, when a stupid, lard assed woman sat on it, it overloaded the solar system and it fought back in it's own way.
Must be that liberal schooling - not smart enough to know that the Sun makes things hot, or that pain means "get your fat a$$ of the bench, idiot!" The next time I cut myself shaving, I'm going to sue Gillette for everything they have because they manufactured a sharp object and told me to apply it to my face...
When I was young I had a friend whose mother was from Arizona. When the family would take trips to Arizona from Wisconsin to visit her family, it had to be during the summer vacation. My friend would recount all the precautions they had to take not only getting there (extra water bags) but also all the things they had to be careful not to touch in the Tucson, Arizona sun.
Sorry Ms DUMB ASS..
You do not deserve one "red" cent for your own stupidity.
Its 100 degrees you see a black stone bench sitting in the sun and you sit down on it long enough receive burns.
Your choice your problem..............
She was burned so bad that she needed grafts but didn't notice?
Was she passed out?
I was in the jury on two jury trials in King County Superior Court similar to this one. Both lasted more than a month (lots of medical experts). In both cases, the vote was 10-2 against the plaintiff.
And in both cases the two dissenters were liberals who think the world should be rubber padded and if someone bruises themself on a piece of the world where the padding has been torn away they should be able to sue someone and win.
The arguments they made during deliberations were surreal.
Okay, I am not opposed to compensation for hospital costs. But no windfall for being stupid. People should not be rewarded for being stupid.
With a last name of "Carrillo"? It's highly unlikely she's blonde.
" It's highly unlikely she's blonde."
And it's highly unlikely that it was not intentional.
" Wash said his client suffered mental anguish"
Obviously not a real blonde.
Some faux reporter (I guess that could many anyone from the mainstream media) should go to the democrat convention and show some PETA folks pictures of naugahyde furniture. Then ask them if they're in favor of banning the hunting of naugas.
They still make the stuff. I guess they just don't use the term anymore.
Well, Jerry Jones has earned a lot of money being stupid about football. he should stick to the business side of football.
It was like sitting on an oven. If she was wearing clothes, she would be able to sit there for long enough to get burned through the clothed. The heat seemed to numb the body. Not as many nerve ends there, which is one reason why the coach always used the paddle there. Why he took multiple strokes. A ruler on the hand actually hurt more.
No sympathy here. on that Does she think Jones did it intentionally? In any case. this is why you have insurance. Why is this matter going to trial? Do they want more than insurance will pay, or is it that the Cowboys cont admit that the bench is a stupid idea.
I'll bet at least 99% would fall for it!
The concept stuck like a sweaty leg to a Naugahyde couch.
It always amazes me how much gets lost in just a generation. My kids would have no idea what that meant but it's the first thing that pops into my head when I hear the word.
Lost. Along with a half-frozen Pepsi in a bottle, the ring of those black 45-pound phones provided by the phone company, the healthy clunk of the channel knob on an old TV ("Don't turn it so fast, you'll break it!"), picking out your candy from the glass display bins at the dime store and so much more.
Not good or bad, I guess. Just different.
(I've turned into an old fart somewhere along the way! LOL)
