KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - With a 5-2 win over the Auburn Tigers (5-11, 0-6 Southeastern Conference) at the UT Varsity Courts on Sunday afternoon, the University of Tennessee Lady Vol tennis team (9-7) moved to 5-1 in SEC play for the first time in two seasons.
The victory allowed the Big Orange to remain in a tie for third place in the overall league standings. UT trails Florida and Vanderbilt, who are both 6-0, and takes on the Commodores in Nashville, Tenn., on Friday.
"To be 5-1 in the conference is excellent," co-head coach Mike Patrick said. "The effort from the girls who all had to play through nagging things (throughout the season), they have done an outstanding job. They should be proud of being 5-1.
The Lady Vols immediately took control of the contest with wins in the first two doubles matches to finish, clinching the doubles tally. At court two, juniors Blakeley Griffith (Middleburg, Va.) and Victoria Jones (Tyne & Wear, U.K.) topped Irina Pljusznyin and Leigh Tippins by an 8-3 score. The two took control with a 5-0 advantage in the match and have now won four straight.
At the first court, senior Melissa Schaub (Lexington, Ohio) and sophomore Ghizela Schutte (Ninapark, South Africa) defeated Whitney Chappell and Alex Haney, 8-2, helped by a 5-0 run in the middle of the contest with earned the Lady Vol duo a commanding 6-1 edge.
Unfortunately for the Lady Vols, the No. 3 team of freshmen Stephanie Harris
(Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Samantha Orlin (Miami, Fla.) failed to hold onto a
7-1 lead and fell to Tori Almagno and Ashley Cowart, 9-7.
"I was a little disappointed we let up at 3 doubles and let them get some momentum back," Patrick said. "That made singles tougher than they could have been. We have got to remember to close out matches when we have the opportunity. We learned something today and hopefully we can get better and learn for next weekend.
Auburn tied the team score, 1-1, when Harris dropped a 6-1, 6-1 decision at No. 6 to Tippins. Orlin secured a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Erin Gray to give Tennessee the lead back at 2-1. She was down, 3-0, in the second set before securing the final six games for the win, her fourth in a row.
The Tigers tied the contest once again, 2-2, when Schaub fell at No. 2 to Haney, 6-3, 6-1. Tennessee, however, put the match away with wins in the final three singles match-ups. Next to finish was Schutte, who secured the final eight games of her contest to claim a 6-4, 6-0 win at No. 4 over Pljusznyin. She has also claimed four straight decisions.
Clinching the team result was Griffith, as she toppled Almagno, 6-1, 6-2, on court three for her fourth consecutive win. She secured the final three games and four of five. Completing the 5-2 win was Jones, who claimed a 6-4, 6-2 victory at No. 1 against Chappell, a Knoxville native who attended Webb School. She ended a personal five-match losing streak with the win.
The victory was the 14th in a row for the Lady Vols over Auburn.
Tennessee next takes on No. 12 Vanderbilt (15-2, 6-0 SEC) in a road contest, which begins at 2:30 p.m. CST on Friday. The Lady Vols continue their road trip with a noon contest at No. 29 Kentucky (12-6, 5-1 SEC) next Sunday. UT completes its home slate the following weekend with matches against No. 52 Ole Miss at 5 p.m. on April 7 and Mississippi State at 1 p.m. on April 9.

Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo will remain on the sidelines for the rest of the season, a decision that casts serious doubt on the prospect of the CFL's all-time passing leader taking the field again.
Calvillo hasn't played since suffering a concussion in a game at Saskatchewan over two months ago. Alouettes general manager and head coach Jim Popp confirmed Friday that Calvillo will not play again this year.
Popp said the decision was reached Friday morning after Calvillo recently had a setback.
"He still can exercise, still train, but he's made a decision to shut it down this season," Popp said after practice. "He's not going to return this year and he's going to concentrate on getting his health back where it needs to be."
Calvillo was injured on Aug. 17 when his head struck the turf following a legal hit by Roughriders defensive end Ricky Foley.
Calvillo suffered from headaches and had vision trouble in the days after the hit. The 41-year-old Los Angeles native later made appearances on the practice field and sat in on team meetings.
There is concern that Calvillo's 20-year career may be over though his plans beyond this season aren't clear. He didn't speak with reporters Friday.
Toronto Argonauts head coach Scott Milanovich, who was Montreal's quarterbacks coach in 2007 and offensive co-ordinator and assistant head coach from 2008-11, was surprised to learn of Calvillo's setback.
"That's disappointing for him," Milanovich said after arriving in Winnipeg for Saturday's game against the Blue Bombers. "It sounded like things were going well. I'd hate to see him not get his opportunity to get back in there and if he chose to go out, go out on a more positive note."
Calvillo broke Damon Allen's league records for passing yards, completions and touchdown passes. His 79,816 passing yards are the most in pro football history, nearly 8,000 yards more than Brett Favre, the top passer in National Football League history.
His 5,892 completions are second only to Favre in pro football history, and he ranks third in touchdown passes with 455, behind only Favre and Peyton Manning.
The CFL's Most Outstanding Player Award recipient in 2003, 2008 and 2009, Calvillo has led the Alouettes to eight Grey Cup appearances. He has won titles in 2002 (when he was named the championship game's MVP) and had back-to-back victories in 2009 and 2010.
It was in the middle of celebrating his third Grey Cup win that Calvillo revealed that he had cancer. He had a complete thyroidectomy and recovered to continue his career uninterrupted the following season.
Calvillo's cancer scare came two years after his wife Alexia waged a successful battle against cancer. He seriously contemplated retirement following the 2011 season after suffering two head injuries.
Josh Neiswander took over as the starting quarterback in Montreal this season after Calvillo was injured. Rookie Tanner Marsh held the job briefly before he tore a ligament in his right thumb a month ago.
Josh Smith, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2006 with Ohio State, is expected to make his first CFL start Sunday when Montreal hosts Hamilton in a key East Division showdown. The 6-9 Alouettes are in third place in the division, four points behind the 8-7 Tiger-Cats.
Also Friday, the Alouettes signed import cornerback Mitchell White and import running back Johnny White to their practice roster.Report Typo/Error

A Facebook troll who made bogus threats to "kill at least 200" on memorial pages for two dead US girls was jailed for 28 months today.
"Idiotic" Reece Elliott, 24, used a fake name to make his sick remarks alongside tributes to 17-year-old car crash victim Caitlin Talley.
He also trolled a page for a girl of 15 who died in an accident.
Caitlin's old school in Warren County, Tennessee, went into "lockdown" and 3,000 pupils took the day off.
Just two months earlier 26 had died in the Sandy Hook massacre in Connecticut.
But FBI agents traced the posts to the UK and the dad-of-one, of South Shields, Tyne and Wear, admitted making a threat to kill and sending grossly offensive messages.
Elliott bowed his head and wept as Judge James Goss QC, the Recorder of Newcastle, passed sentence.
He told Elliott: "During the first week in February this year, with what seems to be no more than self-indulgent nastiness, you posted a series of grossly offensive comments on Facebook."
Newcastle crown court heard he has 17 convictions and once tried to rob a bookmakers armed with an axe.

My hero is my dad, Jim. He has been on the North Sioux City Fire Dept. for almost twenty years. He saves others' lives on a day-to-day basis. He would lay down his life to save another and wouldn't think twice about it. Anyone that would do that is a hero in my book. If I told him that he is a hero, he would say, "I'm just doin' my job." Which yes, he is just doing his job, above and beyond what any normal person would do.
Jim took on a big job when he married my mom. He became a father of three kids. That's a tough job to do when the kids really don't want anyone around. The man I now call my dad has been a vital person in my success in school and athletics by driving me above and beyond what I thought I could ever achieve. He's always pushing me to the point where I don't even want to listen or even care about what he's saying. Looking back, I can see that all he was trying to do was help me gain success.
Jim is the type of person that is kindhearted, loving, and the kind of man I want to be. Any man who can take three kids as his own and get them to love and care for him just as he does for them is a hero. I hope that one day I can be half the Dad that he is, but didn't have to be.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The man I am today;
You built a strong foundation
no one can take away.
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

Who wants to rebound, block out, play tough defense, hit the open Ram with a pass, dive for a loose ball, or share the ball? These are items that won't show up in the box score, but are essential to winning a basketball game. Midseason OK Red competition continues, and the Rams continued to weave these attributes into their game plan. The Rams hope to challenge and return to the top of the OK Red standings this week. Rockford played home and road games this past week against conference opponents Jenison and Muskegon.
The Rams came away with a 38-34 victory against a pesky Jenison Wildcat team on Tuesday, Jan. 26. What looked on paper to be a easy win was anything but. A win is a win, even if Jenison made it a hard-fought and ugly one. The Wildcats' new head coach Mark Dobrzynski employed a tight zone defense in all four quarters, which Rockford found difficult to exploit. It turned into a low-scoring affair, but as usual the Rams found a way. The Rams were led in scoring by senior Caitlyn Patterson with 13 points.
The halftime score favored Rockford, 17-15.
The entire second half turned into a dog fight. Late into the fourth quarter, with the score tied at 29-29, Megan Kelley hit a pressure packed three-pointer to put the Rams up for keeps. With Kelley's go-ahead bucket at the 3:10 mark, the Rams coasted home.
Each Ram player on the floor made significant contributions in gaining their fourth league win (4-2, 9-2). Scoring for Rockford were Patterson (13), Kelley (8), Allison Huyser (8), Kimberly Weston (6), Halle Peterson (2), and Karli Showers (1). The Rams were 9 for 13 from the foul line, while Jenison was only 6 for 13.
Friday, Jan. 29 found the Rams (10-2, 5-2) on the road once more in a match up with Muskegon. The Lady Rams rolled into Muskegon firing on all cylinders as they claimed a 65-29 victory. After the narrow win at Jenison the same week, this event wasn't even close, as Rockford put up a season high 65 points.
Rockford shared the ball well, passing to the open player, as 10 Rams were in the scoring column. Rockford outscored the Big Reds in each quarter, holding a 30-12 advantage by half. Rockford scored 21 points in the third quarter and 14 in the fourth on their way to playing everyone dressed in orange and black.
Kelley led the way with 15 points, followed by Peterson (12), Rachael Henry (12), Patterson (8), Brittany Prins (5), Weston (4), Katherine Huyser (4), Allie Hickox (2), Hannah Rocheleau (2), and A. Huyser (1). The Rams continue to deliver from the foul line 17 for 25, the Big Reds 13 for 23.
The Rams have a big week in conference play, hosting East Kentwood Tuesday, Feb. 2, at 7 p.m. and then a road game against OK Red conference leader West Ottawa on Friday, Feb. 5. Each game now becomes increasingly significant as the race for the OK Red championship begins to take shape.

The universal Awlia Shahanshah Hazrat Syed Ziaul Huq Maizbhandari (KA) was one of the spiritual shaykh of Maizbhandari tarika (Mystic pathway for liberated Sufism). The Shahenshah Syed Ziaul Haq Maizbhandari Trust is established to uphold the philosophy and principle of the heuristic form of Belayet as practiced by Syed Ziaul Huq (KA). His life and sacrifice complement the Maizbhandari Ttarika for self-revelation set by Hazrat Gausul Azam Shah Sufi Moulana Syed Ahmed Ullah Maizbhandari (KA). The Trust works for the full flowering of tasawwuf to bring about connectivity between consciousness and enlightenment in areas of education, health, research and socio-economic development.
The Trust is dedicated to apply the fundamental teaching of Islam as a catalyst to flourish religious enlightenment so that liberal humanism of Islamic Sufi illuminates society and polity. Since its inception in 1991, the Trust (the then Complex) has started its functions with vision to ensure the welfare of the poor destitute persons and orphans; to establish library, madrasha, school, vocational and handicraft training centers; to open charitable clinics, to launch journal of spiritualism and publications; to setup an academy with research wing to nurture Islamic culture, arts and aesthetic. It is expected that the translation of vision into actions would invite a moral support from the wider civil society and business community.
The Trust urges for blessings from all to expand its ongoing project activities as well as new projects that will be implemented in the days to come. Allah Rabbul Alamin may accept all our works and endeavor. Amin.

To the ire of anti-abortion supporters, a temporary restraining order has been extended on an Oklahoma law requiring doctors to report the personal information of women seeking abortions to a Web site. An Oklahoma County judge ruled that the block will remain in place until the court hears a lawsuit challenging the law. —JCL
The Associated Press:
An Oklahoma County judge has extended a temporary restraining order that blocks enforcement of a strict abortion law. The law would require doctors to report personal information about women who seek abortions and for the information to be posted on a public Web site.
The law was to have taken effect Nov. 1. District Judge Daniel Owens said Friday the restraining order would remain in force until a lawsuit seeking to throw out the law is resolved. A hearing is set for Feb. 19.
The Center for Reproductive Rights and two women sued in September, saying the legislation violated a rule in the Oklahoma constitution that requires one piece of legislation deal with only one issue.

A hearing on the lawsuit that seeks to throw out Oklahoma's abortion law is set for Feb. 19.

Opinion: Why Bloomberg's Obama Endorsement is a Vote for Competence, Compassion
Mayor Bloomberg's last-minute announcement of support for President Obama is an endorsement of competent governance.
It is an endorsement that will appeal to Bloomberg's biggest enthusiasts: the political pundits. It is a the loudest reference to climate change this campaign season. And as much as anything, it is an indictment of the political journey of MItt Romney.
Many won't be surprised that New York's mayor would back the president. He is socially liberal, an outspoken advocate of marriage equality and reproductive rights, who has spent considerable money promoting both causes. He is a believer in robust government action - a value more likely to find a home in the national Democratic Party than with the Republicans. His claim to fame is as a business mind, and he must see that the economy has moved the right direction, if not quickly enough, in the past four years.
However, Bloomberg had been claiming a vow of silence. He had publicly reprimanded both candidates over their refusal to take on gun control in a strong, unyielding way. He had just announced a SuperPAC that he was clear would not back a Presidential camp. Bloomberg has himself been talked of as a presidential candidate and has enjoyed his ambiguous partisanship. Staying out seemed to be part of his brand as a non-ideological independent.
So what changed?
On the surface, the events this week surrounding Hurricane Sandy made his choice clear. Under Republicans, FEMA was gutted; under Democrats, it has been rebuilt. Republican leaders decry "big government." Democrats talk about how we prepare for challenges bigger than any individual citizen, city or state. Mitt Romney spent the week setting up photo-ops and running discredited ads. President Obama spent it - like Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Cuomo, Governor Christie and other elected and appointed officials - governing.
Furthermore, as Bloomberg Businessweek announced on its cover: "It's Global Warming, Stupid." While neither candidate campaigned on climate change, one of them has a record of taking sensible steps as President. The other used climate change as a convention speech punchline. Mocking rising water levels, and the earnest effort to address them, is no longer very funny.
Maybe Bloomberg is basing his endorsement on Obama's record which looks similar to Bloomberg's own: willing to take some measures that would be derided as "nanny state" for the public good; a measured approach to employing public and private tools to boost the economy; a comfort with police and security approaches that outrage civil libertarians; socially progressive, though not radical. Obama's record is not a liberal agenda, by any means, but one that resembles the Mayor's.
Or maybe Bloomberg's endorsement is an investment in a discussion of climate change. It's his way of saying that sensible, business-minded, independent-branded, cross-partisan aspiring, centrist-sounding, non-ideological, good-governance technocrats care about what we're doing to the earth and believe we can do better. It's Bloomberg's way of endorsing not just a candidate, but an issue, and elevating it for the next four years.
And just as likely, Bloomberg's announcement is a condemnation of the right-wing gravitational pull that has turned Mitt Romney from the sort of politician that would have agreed with Bloomberg, to one that has had to chase votes from the most fanatical, paranoid, xenophobic, anti-science, extreme factions of our society. It's Bloomberg's critique not just of Romney, but of the process that he was submitted to and the transformation he allowed to take place.
When Bloomberg feared having to pander to those voices, he left the Republican Party. When Romney wanted to become a presidential candidate, he capitulated to them. And that, more than anything, is the difference between the two.
Not everyone would care for a Bloomberg endorsement. Conservatives think he's too lefty. Liberals (myself included) have opposed him on extending term limits, suppressing Occupy Wall Street and his ceaseless defense of Wall Street's worst players. Bloomberg doesn't have a political base, which is why he never ran for national office, other than the pundit class that craves cross-partisan characters. If nothing else, though, winning over a few Thomas Friedmans and David Brookses to Obama is a useful measure.
What would be more useful is if this announcement signifies that Bloomberg not only endorses the candidate, but will push the president to govern in meaningful and ambitious ways over the next four years on the issues the Mayor cares most about: comprehensive immigration reform, marriage equality, illegal guns and, yes, climate change.
Even more meaningful - if the president's acceptance of Bloomberg's endorsement is his own endorsement of those ideas, and his commitment to governing for the next four years with the competence, compassion and commitment he has put on display this past week.

Most people don't know your own health insurance company will demand to collect settlement monies through subrogation. Your own lawyer might not even tell you this.
This might be false. My health insurance tried to deny a couple of my claims because they thought I was in a CAR accident. Apparently being in a car accident, 50% of the burden falls on my car insurance.
Since it was a motorcycle accident though, my health insurance covered it all. Something to do with them being classified as a recreational vehicle.

Driver pulled out in front of me.
State mins in tn are 25/50/15
that's 25 bodily injury per person, 50 per accident, and 15 property damage.
I have no idea what the driver's policy is, but was told that if it's minimums, then I won't be able to seek a dime more than 25k - even including pain & suffering - without going to court.
However, I saw some laws in some states where the claim can roll over into property.
My problem is that my medical bills are easily going to go over!
5k ambulance ride + 5k hospital + 15k wrist surgery (tentative) or casting + whatever I need done to my knee.
I would really like a settlement, but I'm afraid I'm just going to be SOL
so here are some questions for people who have been hit before:
Q1. What happens when my bills go over the BI limits of the other driver?
Q1.5. Can I access the 50k per accident limit?
Q2. How and when can I or a lawyer "negotiate down" my medical bills?
Q3. Should I let my personal Health Insurance go ahead and cover all my bills? or should I leave the bills outstanding until a settlement?
Q4. How do I find out the other person's insurance limits? I called them and the refused to give the limits to me. Is that legal? Do I really have to pay to retain a lawyer to get these?
(I ask because, if I'm close to going over, I want to shop around a bit to keep my medical bills lower)
And any other relevant info you all might have for me.
(Dude lives in a $500 a month apartment based on his address, so I'm not enthusiastic about him having assets)

I wish you were correct. Unfortunately, I was rear ended three years ago at a red light on my motorcycle. I'm now in collections from my health insurance company. They want money I never got, because my lawyer took it for expenses. I'm just going to wait if this will go to court. My credit already sucks.
Sorry to hear of the misfortune, this gives a Look at reality. I would use your own Health insurance, to make sure you get fixed, thats the most important thing. Waiting on some other persons insurance for such, is not in you best interest to fix your injuries.
Its true, if they are at minimum liabilty, thats it unless you sue, and any judgement is not worth the paper its written on if they have no money.
$5K for an ambulance ride for a wrist injury? Was the ambulance a helicopter?
Do you have uninsured/underinsured coverage on your own policy? If so your insurance company will pay the difference then their lawyers will handle it.
Also, sometimes policies can stack. If you live with somebody else or if somebody else lives with that other guy, policies can stack. I know it sounds crazy, but it can work some of the time to get to that extra money. Don't be surprised if/when you hire an attorney that they are asking who you live with and if they have any vehicles and if those vehicles are insured.

That sucks. I was only liable for my co-payments and deductible, which I actually got screwed on. My accident was on 12/27 so I had to pay my deductible for the year I got hit when I went to the hospital, and the following year since most of my major checkups were the week after.
To the OP: The insurance company has to act in good faith or they risk a bad faith suit. Some states allow 3rd party bad faith suits, but most don't. Not sure about TN, but if his carrier acts in bad faith and he gets sued by you, he can go after his own carrier for bad faith - 1st party. A standard settlement for us was 3x's the medical specials for pain and suffering, and a claimant didn't have to work too hard to get there. They'll try to settle for less, but they'll settle for that if you push for it. Did his carrier refuse to give you limits or did he refuse to give you limits? Don't talk to the other driver at all from this point, only his carrier, and if they aren't being cooperative, hire an attorney. You could also go through your carrier under your uninsured/underinsured coverage and let them subrogate his carrier.

AS they draw to a close,
Of what underlies the precedent songsof my aims in them;
Of the seed I have sought to plant in them;
Of joy, sweet joy, through many a year, in them;
(For themfor them have I livedIn them my work is done;)
Of many an aspiration fondof many a dream and plan,
Of you, O mystery great!to place on record faith in you, O death!
To compact you, ye parted, diverse lives!
To put rapport the mountains, and rocks, and streams,
And the winds of the north, and the forests of oak and pine,
With you, O soul of man.

Bulldog Headlines
Derek Carr and Andy Jennings were both named the Mountain West Players of the Week on Monday.
Running back Robbie Rouse ranks No. 11 nationally in rushing and is tied for No. 3 in the FBS with 10 total touchdowns this year.
Derek Carr Has Record Night
Junior quarterback Derek Carr had a record-setting night while leading Fresno State to a 52-40 win over San Diego State last weekend. Carr set new school and Mountain West single-game records with 42 completions and 579 yards of total offense. He also tied the Fresno State passing record with 536 yards in the game, which was one yard shy of the MW record held BYU's Max Hall in 2007. Carr was 42-of-56 passing in the contest with five touchdowns and two interceptions. His 500-yard passing game was the fourth in Bulldog history, the last coming on Dec. 31, 2001 when his older brother David threw for 531 yards against Michigan State. It was also the sixth 500-yard passing game in Mountain West history and sixth in the FBS in 2012. Carr's five touchdown passes tied his career best and it marked the second time in the last three games he has thrown for five TDs. For his big outing, Carr was named the MW Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career.
For the season, Carr has thrown for 1,599 yards, 14 touchdowns and he is completing 69.1 percent of his passes. He ranks sixth nationally in total passing yards and is tied for fifth with 14 touchdown passes. His 14 TDs are five more than any other Mountain West quarterback has. In just 18 career starts, Carr has already moved into the top 10 in the Bulldog record books for career passing yards (5,255), completions (423), passing attempts (654), touchdown passes (40), total offense (5,375) and his 64.7 career completion percentage is the highest in program history.
Fresno State vs. Colorado State - The Series
Colorado State leads the all-time series with the Bulldogs 7-5, having won three-straight in the series, and Fresno State has a 1-3 record all-time in Fort Collins. The teams last met in the 2008 New Mexico Bowl when the Rams scored 20 points in the fourth quarter to overcome a 28-20 deficit and win 40-35. Before that 2008 bowl game, the teams played five non-conference games between 1999-06, with the Bulldogs winning the first three and CSU taking the final two, which included a 35-23 win over Fresno State at home in 2006. When both teams were conference foes in the WAC from 1992-97, CSU won four of the five games.
Scouting Colorado State
Colorado State enters this weekend's game riding a four-game losing streak. The Rams opened the season with a 22-17 win over Colorado, the same Buffalo team Fresno State beat 69-14 on Sept. 15. Since CSU's season-opening win, the Rams have lost their last four games and all four losses have been by 15 points or more. Last weekend, Colorado State opened up Mountain West play with a 42-21 loss at Air Force. CSU is coached by Jim McElwain, who was Fresno State's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2007 when the 'Dogs went 9-4 and beat Georgia Tech in the Humanitarian Bowl. The Rams are giving up 30.4 points per game and scoring only 17.8, which is the lowest scoring average in the MW. CSU has turned the ball over eight times this year and has nine take aways.
Jennings Making A Name For Himself
Junior defensive lineman Andy Jennings had a career-high five tackles in Fresno State's 52-40 win over San Diego State. Jennings recorded two sacks, three tackles for a loss and forced two fumbles, both of which led to touchdowns. His first forced fumble came on a sack in the second quarter when the game was tied at 21, giving Fresno State the ball at the SDSU 18. On the very next Aztec drive, Jennings' nine-yard tackle for a loss forced another fumble that the 'Dogs recovered on the 50-yard line. His two forced turnovers helped Fresno State score 27 unanswered points in the second quarter. Jennings had two of Fresno State's season-high five sacks and was part of the defensive unit that forced five total turnovers in the game. The Bulldogs held SDSU to 82 total yards in the second half and only 339 for the game. Jennings was named the MW Defensive Player of the Week on Monday for the first time in his career.
Bulldog Defense Leads the Nation in Turnovers Forced
One year after tying for dead last in the FBS with just nine take aways, Fresno State's new ball hawking 3-4 defense has done a complete 360 and now leads the nation with 16 turnovers gained. The Bulldogs have forced at least one turnover in every game and over the last four games they have recorded three or more take aways. Last weekend in the win over SDSU, Fresno State recorded a season-high five turnovers. Those five turnovers in the one game are more than 19 other FBS teams have for the entire season. Fresno State has recovered five fumbles this season and it also leads the nation with 11 interceptions, which are two more than any other team in the country has. The Bulldogs have picked off 10 passes in the last three games. Safety Derron Smith has intercepted a pass in each of the last three games and Fresno State as a team has returned four interceptions for touchdowns. The four INT returns for scores are the most in the country and have tied the 2002 and 2004 seasons for the most pick sixes in Fresno State single-season history. For the season Fresno State has scored 85 points off the turnovers, which accounts for 41 percent of the total points the Bulldogs have scored this year.
INT Leader
Senior safety Phillip Thomas has anchored Fresno State's pass defense this season, as he leads the nation with five interceptions. Thomas picked off two passes this past week against San Diego State. It was his third career multi-interception game and the second this season, as he picked off three passes in the Sept. 15 victory over Colorado. Thomas returned two of those three picks vs. CU for touchdowns and he is also tied for the national lead with two pick sixes. Thomas now has 10 career interceptions and his five picks this year are the most by a Bulldog since Cameron Worrell picked off five passes in 2002. In comparison, Fresno State as a team only had five interceptions all of last season. He also ranks second on the team with 31 tackles and tied for third with 3.0 tackles for a loss.
A Rare Receiving Feat
Fresno State had three players go over 100 yards receiving last weekend in the win over SDSU. It marked the second time in school history that three Bulldogs have had over 100 yards receiving in the same game. In 1987 at Pacific Ron Jenkins had 16 catches for 158 yards, Anthony Williams caught seven balls for 151 yards and one TD and Brock Smith had four receptions for 138 yards and a score. Last weekend, Rashad Evans had 10 receptions for 100 yards and three touchdowns, Josh Harper set new personal bests with nine grabs for 120 yards and one score and Davante Adams added eight catches for 102 yards. Isaiah Burse was close to being a fourth 100-yard receiver last weekend for the 'Dogs, as he finished the game with five catches for 84 yards and one score. The one similarity between the two games is that the quarterbacks in those games (Dave Telford in 1987 and Derek Carr last weekend) both threw for a school single-game record 536 yards.
More on the Bulldog Receivers
Fresno State has four of the top eight receivers in the Mountain West. Davante Adams leads the league with 36 catches and 437 yards receiving. Isaiah Burse is third in the MW with 27 receptions and also ranks third with 389 yards receiving. Josh Harper is fourth in the conference with 5.75 catches per game and running back Robbie Rouse is tied for seventh in total receptions with 24. Adams, Burse, Evans and Harper all have three touchdown receptions this season, which is tied for the league lead.
The receiving corps got a boost this past weekend with the return of Rashad Evans, who missed the first four games of the season. Evans' 10 catches against SDSU set a new career-high and he recorded his first-ever 100-yard receiving game. He became the seventh player in school history to catch three or more touchdowns in a single-game, the first since Bernard Berrian had three TDs vs. Utah State on Dec. 1, 2001 and is the only player in the MW this year to catch three TDs in one game. Behind the receivers and quarterback Derek Carr, Fresno State leads the Mountain West and ranks 11th nationally with 335.2 passing yards per game.
Rouse Continues His Scoring Streak
Senior running back Robbie Rouse, the school's all-time leading rusher with 3,744 career yards, has now scored a rushing touchdown in nine-straight games. He has 33 rushing touchdowns in his career, which is the third most in school history and 38 total touchdowns. Rouse needs six more rushing TDs to tie the school record and six more total touchdowns to tie that record as well. Rouse ran for two touchdowns last weekend against the Aztecs, giving him 11 career games with two rushing touchdowns. This year, Rouse has scored eight touchdowns on the ground and has caught a pair of TDs. He is tied for sixth nationally in scoring with 12.0 points per game and his 10 total touchdowns tie for the third-most. He is 11th in the FBS with 117.4 rushing yards per game and has run for over 100 yards in four of the five games this year and 16 times total in his remarkable career.
Sack Attack
Fresno State recorded five sacks last weekend against San Diego State, which are the most by the Bulldogs since they posted six sacks on Nov. 27, 2010 against Idaho. Andy Jennings had two sacks in the win while Patrick Su'a, Tristan Okpalaugo and Donavon Lewis each had one. Last year at Texas A&M, head coach Tim DeRuyter's defense led the nation in sacks with 51. This year, his Bulldog unit leads the Mountain West with 16 sacks and is tied for 13th in the nation. On the other side of the ball, Fresno State's offensive line has only allowed six sacks in five games.
Defense Ranks Second in the Mountain West
Fresno State's defense is second in the league in scoring defense (26.6 ppg), passing defense (186.8) and total defense (356.4 ypg). Last year, the Bulldogs gave up 435.8 yards and 35.2 points per game, but the `D' this year is much improved running its new multiple 3-4 under head coach Tim DeRuyter and defensive coordinator Nick Toth. The defense has allowed under 360 yards of offense in four of the five games this season and last weekend vs. SDSU the 'Dogs only gave up 339 yards, including just 82 in the second half. The Bulldogs under secondary coach Tim McDonald have held three of their five opponents to under 200 yards passing. Last year in 13 games, the Bulldogs only held one opponent to under 200 yards passing. The most impressive part of the secondary is that they are allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete just 54.6 percent of their passes, including just 38-of-92 (41.3 percent) over the last three games.
Then in the run game, there has only been one game this year where the Bulldogs allowed an opposing running back to rush for over 100 yards and that came in week 2 at No. 4 Oregon. If you take out the Oregon game, Fresno State is allowing just 120.5 rushing yards per game. Oregon ranks sixth nationally, averaging 303 rushing yards per game.
Looking To Carry Momentum On The Road
Fresno State is coming off an electric 52-40 victory over San Diego State at home. Now with the Bulldogs set to play on the road over the next two weeks, the 'Dogs are looking to keep the momentum rolling after that win. Fresno State is 0-2 on the road this year. The one area where the momentum can help the Bulldogs is on the offensive side of the ball. In three home games this year, Fresno State has averaged 52.7 points and 611.7 yards of total offense. In the two road games, the 'Dogs have put up 25.5 points and 364.5 yards of offense.
Davison Records Career-High
Sophomore nose tackle Tyeler Davison recorded a career-high seven tackles last weekend vs. San Diego State. He also had one tackle for a loss and blocked a point after attempt, which redshirt freshman Charles Washington returned all the way for two points. A first-year starter, Davison has anchored a productive defensive line in the new 3-4. He has 13 tackles on the season, two tackles for a loss, one sack, two quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Brown Nearly Misses Another Double Digit Tackle Game
Senior linebacker Travis Brown posted a season-high nine tackles last week vs. SDSU to lead the Bulldog defense. His career-high for tackles in a game is the 11 he had at Idaho last year. Brown was named the WAC Defensive Player of the Week following that 11-tackle performance. Brown has three career double-digit tackle games and he has started in 31 consecutive games for the Bulldogs.
Back In Action
Injured players Jeremiah Toma and Todd Hunt returned to the field this past weekend for the Bulldogs. Toma, a team captain, has been held out of the first four games of the season with a foot injury. He returned last weekend, but saw limited action. Hunt, who tore his ACL last March during spring football, had a speedy recovery to get back onto the field. The redshirt freshman played in his first career game last weekend and recorded one tackle. The return of both players will provide a boost to the defense that is already having a great season. Toma started all 13 games last year for the 'Dogs and Hunt is a key backup at defensive end that will help the Bulldog rotation to keep their defensive line fresh.
Bulldogs Return Blocked PAT for Two Points
Redshirt freshman Charles Washington picked up a Tyeler Davison blocked point after attempt and returned it all the way for two points. It was Fresno State's first return for two points on a blocked PAT since Nov. 30, 2007 when Damion Owens returned a PAT for two points at New Mexico State. The play came with 1:17 left before the half and after a SDSU touchdown that ended a streak of 27 unanswered points for the Bulldogs. Davison's block and Washington's return for two points kept the momentum on Fresno State's side heading into the half. Washington had one tackle in the game and he also recovered a fumble in the second quarter.
Robbie Rouse's 65 yards receiving last weekend set a new career-high and his seven catches matched his personal best.
Senior outside linebacker Tristan Okpalaugo is tied for the Mountain West lead with 7.0 tackles for a loss. He also leads the team and is tied for fourth in the league with three sacks.
Fresno State has yet to score on its first drive of the second half this season. Fresno State has gone three-and-out two times on its first drive of the second half and turned the ball over another time, which came last weekend against SDSU. Opposing teams have scored two touchdowns on its first drive of the second half this year. Looking at the very first drive in the first half, Fresno State started the season by scoring on their first possession in the first three games, but have not done so in the last two. Opposing teams have scored just once - an Oregon touchdown - on their first drive of a game against the Bulldogs.
Redshirt freshman Dillon Root caught his first career pass and attempted the first rush of his career last weekend. His run went for three yards and his catch was a 26 yard reception, one of 10 Bulldog passes that went for over 20 yards against SDSU.

Cracked Emmer and Carrot Porridge
Dan Barber is a big proponent of using whole grains, which are healthier and more delicious than the processed kinds. One of the grains he's most keen on is emmer wheat, also known as farro, which he uses in this savory, carrot-rich dish.
Slideshow:More Farro Recipes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4 to 6
- 1 cup cracked emmer wheat (see Note)
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 large braised carrots (from Braised Carrots with Lamb Recipe), chopped, or use other steamed or roasted carrots
- 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons salted roasted pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed cumin seeds
How to make this recipe
In a medium saucepan, cook the cracked emmer over moderate heat, stirring, until it is toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 2 cups of water and cook over low heat, whisking often, until the porridge is thick and the wheat is al dente, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, quarter the braised carrots and puree them in a food processor.
Stir the carrot puree into the porridge along with the sherry vinegar and honey and season with salt. Spoon the porridge into shallow bowls. Top with the roasted pumpkin seeds, grated Parmesan cheese and crushed cumin seeds and serve.
The sweet, nutty-tasting emmer wheat in this recipe is slightly cracked, so it cooks more quickly. It's available at bluebirdgrain farms.com. If using whole emmer, crack the grains in a blender for 15 to 20 seconds.

My next door neighbors are both avid shooters and NRA life members. I met them swapped numbers etc. Our schedules mix pretty well. The apartment manager also lives in my building and got shaken up by how brazen the break ins were so now he is checking in randomly through out the day.
Who is actually going to be in the best position to put an end to these things? Lynch mob comes to mind. Forgive me......I'm in favor of the old ways when they got hanged.
If you want something that drops right in to your door (maybe with some edge bore modification, and assuming from the edge of your door to the keyhole measures 2 3/4") go to a lock shop, not home depot and get a Schlage B600-Series deadbolt. Not BC, not anything but B600. And an A-series lockset. You can probably find something to match the apartment, assuming it's knobs. (Plymouth or Georgian) If your door is standard (a lot of apartments aren't) it will have a 5.5" Center to Center spread between the 2 1/8" holes and you can purchase a security strike. It will require some chiseling to install on the jamb side that wont make the apt managers happy. But will penetrate well beyond the door casing and would require some significant effort to defeat and still look the same. Other hardware solutions will require much more modification to the door or a new door. Latch guards probably aren't an option as I am sure the door swings in to the apartment. ... All that being said, locks are for honest people. But I'd bet the apartment building is filled with garbage door hardware. That's my professional opinion, at least ;) ...Haha just linked the ultimate deadbolt test.... What a coincidence B600.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined." -Obligatory Founding Father Quote
I looked into getting Abloy deadbolts with an expanding bolt. Too expensive for me, but maybe not for you.
Just some thoughts...if you don't have renter's insurance, I would invest in that. Leave a radio on when you aren't there, preferably tuned to a talk radio station. Hang a sign on the outside of the door that says "Day Sleeper..Do Not Disturb". Anything that gives the impression that the apartment is occupied might make the thieves choose another unit.
If you're handy or have friends that are, just go crazy with it and you'll be able to repair any modifications before your lease is up to get your security deposit back.

PARIS – Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has accused a "political party" of organizing his abduction by armed gunmen Thursday, the latest example of the lawlessness prevailing since Moammar Gadhafi's overthrow.
Zeidan appeared in good health when he arrived at government headquarters after his ordeal, waving to waiting well-wishers as he climbed out of an armored car.
"I hope this problem will be resolved with reason and wisdom" and without any "escalation," Zeidan later said in comments broadcast by state television as he left a Cabinet meeting.
The pre-dawn seizure of Zeidan came five days after U.S. commandos embarrassed and angered the Libyan government by capturing senior al-Qaida suspect Abu Anas al-Libi on the streets of Tripoli, whisking him away to a warship in the Mediterranean.
Witnesses said Zeidan was held at a police station south of the capital, and that his captors released him after armed residents surrounded the building and demanded he be set free.
In comments made to France24 television, Zeidan accused a "political party" of organizing the kidnapping, without naming the group.
"It's a political party that wants to overthrow the government by any means," he said. "In the coming days, I will give more information on who this political party is that organized my kidnapping."
After being freed, Zeidan met with his ministers and members of the General National Congress — Libya's highest political authority.
The Operations Cell of Libyan Revolutionaries, former rebels who had roundly denounced al-Libi's abduction and blamed Zeidan's government for it, said it had "arrested" the prime minister on orders from the public prosecutor.
But Zeidan's Cabinet said that ministers were "unaware of immunity being lifted or of any arrest warrant" for him.
Later, the Brigade for the Fight against Crime, a police division made up of former rebels, also claimed responsibility, the official LANA news agency reported.
The government said it suspected both groups of being behind the abduction. The two groups fall under the control of the Defense and Interior ministries but largely operate autonomously.
Zeidan, who was named prime minister a year ago, had condemned the U.S. capture of al-Libi and insisted that all Libyans should be tried on home soil.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry denounced Zeidan's abduction as "thuggery," while U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned it "in the strongest possible terms."

Steve Williams, Tiger Woods' ex-caddie, is apologizing today to "fellow caddies and professionals" for his me-me-me TV interview that upstaged victorious Adam Scott at Bridgestone Sunday.
Williams was ripped by Paul Azinger, Andy Roddick and others on Twitter for his interview with CBS' David Feherty in which he sounded like he won the tournament with hardly a mention of Scott.
Williams posted a written apology on his Web site Wednesday. But he also blames CBS and Feherty for seeking an interview with a caddie. And he repeats his previous assertion that Sunday's win was the best of his career -- despite being on the bag for 13 of Woods' 14 major victories. Here's his full apology:
There has been considerable debate following the comments I made at the conclusion of Sunday's Bridgestone Invitational. It was a complete surprise to have CBS announcer, David Feherty ask for an interview following the completion of play. My emotions following Adam's victory were running very high and at the time I felt like my emotions poured out and got the better of me. I apologize to my fellow caddies and professionals for failing to mention Adam's outstanding performance. I would like to thank all those fans at Firestone who made this victory the most special of my career.

State v. Gomez and the Continuing Conversation Over New Mexico's State Constitutional Rights Jurisprudence
Browde, Michael B.
This article raises concerns about two aspects of the Gomez analysis, and then suggests that the seeming absolutism of the Gomez approach may not hold for all future cases. First, while the thrust of Gomez is to reinforce New Mexico's commitment to an independent jurisprudence of state constitutional rights, its presumption in favor of the established federal jurisprudence, unless one of three criteria is met, may undermine the very independent jurisprudence which it so firmly endorses. Second, Gomez' suggestion that the value of uniformity may intercede to prevent "deviation" from the federal analysis raises both theoretical and practical concerns. Third, and finally, while an interstitial approach may now be established as the general approach in New Mexico, the precise form of New Mexico interstitialism should not be taken for granted. There may be situations that will call for modifications of the Gomez approach in new and different circumstances.

AUGUSTA, Maine — State environmental officials began making their case Monday for a $200 million cleanup of the HoltraChem site in Orrington, arguing that contaminants in five outdated landfills threaten groundwater supplies and the Penobscot River.
But attorneys for the factory's former owners, Mallinckrodt LLC, questioned the necessity and safety of undertaking what would likely be one of the largest and costliest cleanup projects in Maine history.
Monday was the first day of two weeks of hearings before the Board of Environmental Protection on Mallinckrodt's appeal of an order requiring the company to remove five large landfills located on the riverside industrial site. An additional public hearing is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Orrington.
An estimated 360,000 tons of dirt contaminated with mercury and other hazardous substances are buried in the five landfills. Most of the other remnants of the former chemical factory already have been removed by Mallinckrodt in recent years at a cost of nearly $40 million.
But in opening statements to the board, an attorney for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, Peter LaFond, said that the HoltraChem site remains one of the state's top mercury polluters despite the cleanup to date.
LaFond argued that the only way to make the property safe for redevelopment and address the long-term pollution risks to local groundwater supplies and the adjacent river is to completely remove the contaminated soil.
"Mercury is what we call an immortal waste," LaFond said. "It doesn't go away. It doesn't decompose. It doesn't break down. So the solution for mercury has to be long term as well."
But Mallinckrodt's attorney, Jeffrey Talbert, countered in his opening remarks that the DEP's own technical staff had questioned the logistics and practicality of removing the landfills several years before the cleanup order was issued in November 2008.
Digging up and transporting the dirt by trucks or train could expose the public and groundwater supplies to contaminants now buried in what the company argues are stable and contained landfills, he said.
"If the technical data does not support removing the landfills, how does the department make its case?" Talbert said. "Unfortunately, they rely on fear."
Instead, Mallinckrodt has proposed removing the most problematic landfill — one closest to the Penobscot River — at a cost of roughly $95 million. As in the state's proposal, any contaminated dirt would be trucked or hauled by train to a hazardous waste disposal facility in Canada.
Mallinckrodt would then re-cap the other four landfills, leaving them on-site and likely restricting access to the areas. Talbert said the company's proposal would cost half as much, take half as long to complete — five to six years versus nine to 12 for the DEP's proposal — yet still meet pollution standards, he said.
"There is a difference between a need and a want," Talbert said. "As you review the evidence, ask yourself is that necessary or is this 'a want.'"
The former factory operated for more than three decades along the banks of the Penobscot, producing chlorine, hydrochloric acid and other chemicals for the paper industry. It was the largest taxpayer in Orrington before closing for good in 2000.
But it was also a major industrial polluter. In the early years, waste mercury and other chemicals were discharged directly into the Penobscot. Beginning around 1970, the company began storing the waste in simple, unlined landfills built on-site.
The integrity of those landfills today was the focus of testimony provided by DEP staff on Monday.
Fred Lavallee, an engineer with the DEP's Bureau of Remediation and Waste Management, testified that modern hazardous waste landfills feature more than a dozen layers, including several heavy-duty liners both on the bottom and top.
The landfills on the HoltraChem site were built well before any of these standards and are in locations that expose groundwater to contamination. And although impermeable covers were installed, Lavallee said he believes the covers were likely damaged during construction.
"This is not a good site for hazardous waste," he said. "You've got an immortal waste and it is in a mortal container."
But Mallinckrodt spokesman JoAnna Schooler said Monday evening that 98 percent of the contamination is coming from the landfill that the company has agreed to remove. The remaining 2 percent would be met by removing an old process lagoon and other contaminated soils on the site, she said.
The four other landfills at the center of the dispute are well contained, she said.
"Removal of the remaining landfills provides no additional benefit because the groundwater around the landfills is already meeting the state's standards," Schooler said. Additionally, monitors in place around the other four landfills would detect any problems in the future.
The BEP hearings will continue at the Augusta Civic Center today at 8 a.m. Thursday's hearing in Orrington is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Center Drive Middle School at 17 School St.

United Kingdom
Step by step?
Hi, myself and two partners are looking to start a business as a fitness centre which will incorporate a training environment to take in students.
I need some advice about what to do first.
We're getting together to first of all get an exact idea of the business operations on paper and we've also been out and about looking for premises.
We haven't yet started the business plan but intend to do that after getting all our information spot on.
So first we're getting our ideas together, then we're planning to identify our goals and what we want out of it, then try to find some premises to enable us to go ahead with an idea of costs and identify sources of funding etc.
Does anybody have any advice as to what order to do everything and what the initial things we should be looking at so we're not jumping ahead of ourselves?
Hello John,
Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like your heading in the right direction.
Don't put off writing your business plan because when you do start you will find out and get an idea of what your business idea is going to involve, for instance
When you start researching the property you are going to want, you will find out the costs etc.
Costs will depend on the area and size.
Would it be best for you to buy or rent?
You can expect to pay at least 6 months rent up front and a deposit.
I think the next step is to start writng a plan and research your idea with regards to property, start up costs and can you really make this work??
What area are you in?
Good luck

Check out Vh's main page and new items section. I think this is not fair. How long does it take a stock video shoot ?! and how long it takes to make a project ?!http://videohive.net/
this is not fair…
Been discussed a million times, Balistique. But when there's a bulk upload like this, it's not only unfortunate if you upload a big project, it also gives a pretty dull impression of the site.
I don't supposed it's going to get changed though.
I would also point out that producing high quality shot material is much more time consuming and much more costly than producing After Effects projects. You need expensive equipment, lighting, a space, insurance, transport, a team, talent, release forms etc. etc. etc. You can expect an outlay of several thousand dollars, to just get going.
I'm not talking about filming trees with a DSLR using natural light of course. That's pretty easy.
Sorry for that felt, I did not search it. I was just angry about that.Anyway you can lock if you want.
I think this is a topic worthy of a serious discussion. Regardless of the fact of how expensive a professional video shoot can be, bumping out the more expensive AE projects for $5 footage clips isn't good for the author or VideoHive.
I mentioned this in the "Sales" thread, but it might be beneficial to divide the New Items section into 3/4 AE projects and 1/4 stock footage. If the New Items section becomes overloaded with cheap video clips, it seems fairly detrimental to sales.
Everyone knows the first few days of an AE project's life is crucial, and if exposure is cut short by a $5 video clip, I'd certainly be frustrated.
It's a good suggestion, Motion. But that too has been put forward several times before. It just seems that there's no real will to do it, and I suspect that it's because it's a site wide change. The thing is though that sites selling very different types of media need very different kinds of websites and I think it's high time that the various marketplaces had a greater degree of customization, whilst still sticking to the core Envato layout and functionality.
Videohive needs to customize its template!
Just noticed that my project did not even make a full 24 hours on the first page… so sad…
Curse you generic businessman with no face, I hope you spill coffee on your fancy suit!

We're running out of earthly locations to name marketplaces after. The only themes that haven't been covered are something sky or space-related.
Maybe we need to separate the footage out into a new marketplace called "FootageMountain" or "FootageCloud".
It'll never happen, but it would be nice! I can only imagine the process that would go into separating out the stock footage into it's own site. That would be a major undertaking that I'm sure Envato would rather not tackle unless absolutely necessary.

LOL , at least you have a sense of humor about it. But in all seriousness, less than 24 hours on the front page would make me quite upset. I know how important exposure is at the beginning.
What I'm afraid of is that those Photodune professionals notice that Videohive has a category for stock footage. I'm sure that at least some of them have stock footage (because many stock photo sites sell footage too) and when they start to upload here, we are screwed!
My last project was 1,5-2 days on the front page, tops.
