The Movie:
One of Jean Rollin's more interesting films, 1975s Levres De Sang (better known in North America as Lips Of Blood, which is how it was released on DVD a few years back from Image/Redemption and how it's being re-released again through Redemption and Ryko with this release!) begins with the simple image of a van heading through the night towards an eerie old building. When it stops, the two male passengers emerge, open the back of the van up, and pull out a dead body. When an older woman (Nathalie Perry) appears, she leads them down into the crypt where the body is placed inside a coffin that lays waiting for it. As the men begin to seal the coffin and nail it closed, the camera reveals to us that the corpse is still breathing. We don't know why these people are doing this, but when the old lady puts up a cross at the entrance to the crypt facing the four coffins, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the four people who lay buried in this eerie locale might just have a penchant for sucking blood.
From here, we cut back to the hustle and bustle of city life, where Frederic (Jean-Loup Philippe) is hanging out at a chic party in celebration of a new perfume's launch. While hanging out he's drawn to a poster that features a decrepit but somehow still elegant looking castle that reminds him of his days as a young boy where he became lost while exploring the area with his parents. He wandered into this same castle where he was helped out by a gorgeous woman in a white gown (Annie Brilland). The next morning when he knows he needs to go out and find his parents and return to his normal life, he tells her that he loves her and that one day he'll return to her. He gives her one of his toys and heads out on his way, but his promised return never happened. With the flashback out of the way and the basic premise of the story now in motion, modern day Frederic decides to fulfill that promise and head out to that castle and see if she's still there.
To find out more about the castle and its whereabouts he talks to the photographer who snapped the shot (Marine Grimaud) but she is quite elusive about the location and agrees to tell him where it is only if he meets her one night at a location of her choice, an old theater. He agrees despite the strangeness of it all, but when he shows up to meet her he finds she's been murdered. Frederic refuses to let this stop him from his mission, if anything, her death serves as further fuel for the fire that now burns within him. Later that night, Frederic notices a beautiful woman wandering in the dark. He follows her and she leads him to four female vampires who abduct him and bring him back to the crypt from the opening sequence. Frederic escapes the next morning and tells his mother of what happened to him. Her reaction is, of course, disbelief, but she seems to know more about what is happening to him than she lets on. Eventually, Frederic is reunited with the woman who has haunted his dreams for so long, but it's not the romantic reunion he'd been hoping for and in fact it will put him at the biggest crossroads of his life and force him to choose between life and love.
More linear than many of his other films in the 'lesbian vampire' sub-genre for which he's so well known, Jean Rollin plays this one fairly straight at least in terms of how he tells the story. Everything happens in a very linear fashion, save for the flashback (which doesn't upset the flow of the movie at all) and even those not well versed in the man's work should have no problems whatsoever following this one. The flashback that does happen only serves to justify Frederic's actions and explain his obsession with the castle and the girl that he knows still lives there. It all plays out rather nicely, with the addition of some further plot twists provided in the scenes with his mother made more mysterious by her obvious secrecy.
As much a character as any of the performers in the film are the locations where the movie takes place. The beach that shows up in a few of Rollin's films plays a huge part in the atmospheric ending of the movie and the coffin that washes out to sea in the final minutes of the film remains one of the most poetic images out of his filmography. The film is tragic, odd, almost surreal at times but it remains quite beautiful in a strange sort of way. The cinematography is top notch, and once again Rollin proves to be a master of composition, playing with color and framing and shadow like a kid in a candy store.
While ultimately, Levres De Sang is as much a romance as it is a horror movie (as many of his movies are), it's an engrossing and absolutely gorgeous looking film that provides enough gratuitous nudity, lesbian vampire action and mild bloodshed to appeal to the genre enthusiast but also manages to tell a rather sad and completely interesting story at the same time. While it might not be the film that Rollin is best known for, it's up there and rests firmly in the top tier of his work.
The Video:
The Encore edition of Levres de Sang that came out a couple of years ago in PAL format out of Holland was, sadly, slightly mis-framed. This release is not a port of that release and the framing looks right this time around. On the Encore disc, Frederic's forehead was missing or very tightly cropped in a couple of scenes, the first party scene being a good example, and that is no longer a problem with this new release.
Screenshot from the Encore PAL release:
Screenshot from this 2008 Redemption NTSC release:
What's irksome about this release, however, is that like most of Redemption's recent efforts, the transfer is interlaced (the Encore release was flagged for progressive scan). It should also be noted that the colors look a little different here, and you'll notice it right away during the opening of the film which features a more prominent blue tone to it. Purists might also want to know that although the title sequence is completely intact on this release, the titles themselves do not appear over the opening bit where the van pulls up in the cemetery. In terms of the image quality itself, the image is generally sharp. There is a bit of mild ghosting in a couple of scenes with fast movement but it isn't too severe. Some print damage shows up but it's never overpowering. Colors look nice and accurate as do flesh tones and while some mild compression artifacts pop up, they're minor.
The Audio:
For a film more than three decades old that was low budget to begin with, the French language Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono track sounds pretty solid on this release and it appears here complete with English subtitles. There is some mild background hiss throughout much of the movie and if you listen for them you'll pick out the occasional pop here and there but for the most past, things sound all right. Dialogue is fairly clean and pretty consistent even if sometimes the levels fluctuate just a little bit. It's not a perfect track, but it's pretty decent none-the-less and it suits the film just fine.
The Extras:
Pretty much all of the supplements that appear on this disc have been carried over from the Encore special edition release. Rollin provides a screen specific commentary for roughly thirty-three minutes worth of material from the film to start this disc off and he does so in English (no subtitles this time, oddly enough) with some help from a moderator. He covers some of the interesting oddities that popped up during pre-production, how he and the crew had to over come them, and what it was like shooting so much of the material for this film out on location. He goes into no small amount of detail about the history of certain buildings that we see in the film, talks about the beach a little bit more as well as some of the other interesting places that the movie takes place in, and does a really excellent job of giving us a feel for what it must have been like for him on the set of the film.
Up next is an English language video introduction from Rollin. For just over ten-minutes in length he gives his honest feelings about the strengths and weaknesses of the film, and covers some of the difficulties that arose during the shoot and how they affected the final version of the movie. He also talks about working with the two Castel Twins and seems to have really enjoyed how their performances turned out and how they added to the film.
Up next is an interview that finds male lead Jean-Loup Philippe sitting down in front of the camera for just over sixteen-minutes, speaking in French with English subtitles about his experiences on the film. He talks about his early career as an actor, how he came to meet Jean Rollin and how he came to be involved in Levres De Sang specifically. Interestingly enough, Philippe has apparantly worked with Ingmar Bergman (famed director of The Virgin Spring and many others) on the stage before and he explains how that came to happen here. Lots of good stories here, and this proves to be another very interesting piece.
Interview number two rounds up the still lovely Nathalie Perry, who speaks for just over twelve minutes in French with English subtitles about her work on the movie and about her many collaborations with Jean Rollin that stretch back all the way to the late sixties and about the circumstances that lead to him casting her in one of his films for the first time. She talks about her relationship with Jean-Loup Philippe and how it turned into something more than just another working relationship, how she was completely charmed by Serge Rollin's unusual technique of practicing his lines for the movie, and how she feels about Rollin and his work three decades after the fact. This interview is just as good as the first two and again, Perry's got a lot of great stories to tell and if you've ever wanted to know more about the woman from the opening of this film, here's your chance.
Rounding out the extra features on this release are trailers for Killer's Moon and Nature Morte, a still gallery of production photos, static menus, chapter selection and contact info for Redemption.
Extras that appeared on the Encore release that do not appear here are the twenty-four minute video interview with Jean Rollin, the thirteen minute interview with Jean's son Serge Rollin, the fifteen minute interview with lovely Catherine Castel, the Rollin short film Les Amoures Jeunes, the trailer for the film and the nice sixty-four page booklet.
If you don't already have the Encore release or don't want to shell out big bucks for that expensive limited edition import, this is the way to go despite the interlaced transfer and the absence of some key supplemental items. Redemption's release isn't perfect but it is readily available at a good price and it offers a respectful presentation of one of Jean Rollin's finest films. Recommended.

Commission Recognized for Exemplary Customer Service and Compliance Assistance
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is one of four federal regulatory agencies, out of nearly 50 reviewed, to receive an "A" rating by the Small Business Administration (SBA) in its latest National Ombudsman's Report to Congress. The report evaluates the relationship of regulatory agencies with small employers based on six specific criteria."The Commission is working cooperatively and collaboratively with the small business community to proactively prevent employment discrimination and promote voluntary compliance," said EEOC Chair Cari M. Dominguez. "We recognize that many small businesses do not have separate human resources and legal staff to guide them through the regulatory process. Therefore, it is critically important to establish open lines of communication, build trust, and provide the necessary training and tools to ensure that small employers do not run afoul of the law."
The main components of EEOC's Small Business Initiative are providing comprehensive technical assistance and customized on-site training; making public information materials and guidance documents available in a user-friendly, plain language format; upgrading the small business section of the agency's web site; encouraging voluntary mediation instead of time consuming and potentially costly investigation and litigation; reaching out at the grassroots levels through small business liaisons in every agency district office; and implementing regional small business outreach plans. Specific accomplishments highlighted in the SBA National Ombudsman's Report include:
Citing a real-life example of how the EEOC's small business program breaks down barriers between employers and the federal government, the report recounts a visit by EEOC's St. Louis District Office to a small employer in Springfield, Missouri, which subsequently sought the agency's assistance in resolving a workplace conflict:
"The manager called the District's Small Business Liaison to seek advice on an issue of harassment occurring between two employees at his place of business. He told the liaison he would not have made this call last year, but because of EEOC's willingness to make a personal visit to his business to advise him about the agency's compliance assistance programs, he felt more comfortable calling a government office for advice. He stated that since EEOC had taken the first step, he was not so nervous about asking for help."
"We are succeeding in changing the enforcement environment," said SBA National Ombudsman Michael L. Barrera, "through dedication to transforming it from a 'gotcha' climate to a 'help you' one one step at a time. Small businesses are our customers. They need to feel comfortable telling their government both the good and the bad."
Information for small employers can be found on the EEOC's web site at the following address: www.eeoc.gov/employers/smallbusinesses.html. The EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including sexual harassment or pregnancy) or national origin and protects employees who complain about such offenses from retaliation; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, which protects workers age 40 and older from discrimination based on age; the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which prohibits gender-based wage discrimination; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the federal sector; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the Commission is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Photo of the Day: Alistair Overeem & Badr Hari are InstaFriends/Training Partners Now, Apparently
("Of course I'd love to train with you, old pal! And since we're such good friends now, you wouldn't mind telling the police that I was at your house from the hours of 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. last night, would you chum?")
Abraham Lincoln was once infamously quoted as saying, "What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself." It's a quote I could not help but reflect on in the days following Alistair Overeem's devastating, hype-deflating KO loss to Antonio Silva at UFC 156. To be fair, it was just as much the media's fault for filling Overeem's head with premature discussions of his inevitable UFC title reign as it was his own, but in either case, his arrogance was surely on full display in his lackluster performance that night. Thankfully, we learned not to do the same thing with Uriah Hall.
In either case, it appears that the slice of humble pie Overeem was served last February was not taken lightly by the former Strikeforce heavyweight champ, as he recently posted the above photo on his Instagram account showing himself alongside former K1 rival and terrorizer of the Amsterdam nightclub scene, Badr Hari, along with the following caption:
Badr Hari & me at mikes gym after a great training session. The REEM vs Badr III might just happen… In training.
If you recall, Overeem and Hari engaged in a brutal (albeit brief) pair of fights a few years back — first at Dynamite!! 2008, then at the KI World Grand Prix semifinals in 2009 –with each man emerging victorious in one bout by way of (T)KO. You can find videos of both fights here and here.Read More DIGG THIS

Youth, business, and our futures
- 2 Artículos
- Edad 20
Business is a field that undertakes less advantages because most citizens work formally or informally. Youth have the ability to be creative and innovative. We have the potential to undertake whatever we want. Let us remember that smaller ideas are those that can be developed into large projects.
Children and young people can shape the future and can find the ability to use their knowledge and ideas exponentially to turn them into projects to achieve financial stability and be self-sustaining. The can contribute to building a better quality of life for their community and family, and at the same time create jobs and move the economy.
Business is the foundation of the economy, but it depends on leadership, dedication, and work. I've always said, the future is linked to the next generations, and children and young people the basis from it. It is good to motivate young people and children to create entrepreneurship. It is very likely that it may be linked to their abilities and / or interests and even many times it may favor the vulnerable population as well as people with disabilities.
I have had the opportunity to see the scope of small projects. For example, people with disabilities and and how they can move frontiers. It is amazing to see how to motivate them to do something they like, and that it can easily be their livelihood in the future. I think that's great.
It is not easy to start a business project, but it is not impossible… I know that many times it could easily become large projects which can generate employment and meet the needs of communities. Many successful cases today are the bi-product of small ideas. I am absolutely sure that that is what we should encourage because after all the lack of opportunities should not be a deterrent for people that seeking to improve their quality of life and that of his/her family. At my school for example, students in the last three grades of secondary schooling are motivated to start a business especially in the technical program SENA training. In this training, we demonstrate our leadership and we can then make it a reality. The result of this is reflected in a small institutional fair organized once a year at the school. We can see the potential of our work in real life.
So a business project is a good way to start because it helps to explore our capabilities and, this may be a tool that anyone can use for the future…

As the Bruins continue to get better results, it gets tougher and tougher to pick a Bruin of the Week or even to narrow down the nominees.
But here are last week's candidates after the Bruins went 2-0-0 and outscored their opponents 12-3.
Now second on the team with six goals, Milan Lucic scored three goals in the two games. He added an assist and was plus-3, and he fired six shots on net. He also recorded five hits.
On the strength of his first NHL hat trick, second-year sensation Tyler Seguin now leads the team in goals. He posted 3-1-4 totals and a plus-3 rating last week.
Patrice Bergeron has been an amazing two-way force this season. Last week he posted 1-3-4 totals and a plus-4 rating. He fired five shots on goal and won 17 of 35 faceoffs.
With the Bruins desperate for a win, Johnny Boychuk delivered the game-winning goal against Ottawa. That was his only point of the week, but he was plus-3 with two blocked shots and five shots on goal. He also was instrumental in keeping Jason Spezza's line off the score sheet against Ottawa and helped limit a score-less Phil Kessel to just two shots on net.
Toronto couldn't solve Tim Thomas, who posted his first shutout of the year with 25 saves against the Maple Leafs. That followed Thomas' 23-save performance (against 26 shots) in the win over Ottawa.
So readers of TheBruinsBlog.net, I ask you:
Who should be the Bruin of the Week?
- Tyler Seguin (76%, 147 Votes)
- Patrice Bergeron (15%, 28 Votes)
- Milan Lucic (8%, 15 Votes)
- Johnny Boychuk (2%, 3 Votes)
- Tim Thomas (1%, 1 Votes)
Total Voters: 193

In 2013, your tax bill could be hundreds or even thousands of dollars higher. Four tax cuts that were introduced under the Obama and Bush administrations and have benefitted low-income parents are set to expire on January 1, according to CNNMoney.
Many families will lose hundreds to thousands of dollars should the Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit and the American Opportunity Credit fail to get renewed.
What, exactly, do these tax cuts do?
Plus: IRS Rules Breastfeeding Supplies Tax Deductible
The Child Tax Credit allows lower-income parents to claim as much as $1,000 for each child under 17. When the provisions expire, the tax break will drop back down to a maximum of $500. Only working families with three or more children will be eligible to receive cash refunds. That means couples with two children could pay an extra $1,000 in taxes next year.
The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit allows working parents (or those who are searching for a job) to report up to $3,000 of child-care related expenses per child, up to a maximum of $6,000 for each family. Families can claim 35% of these expenses as a credit. And once this break expires, the credit will revert back to being able to report $2,400 per child or $4,800 per family. The maximum credit falls to 30% of expenses. Right now, the parents with two children could get $2,100 in credit but that goes down to $1,440 next year.
The Earned Income Tax Credit gives poor families money for every child they have. The income necessary to receive this credit was raised by $5,000 and when it expires, it will fall back to the lower income levels. Families with at least three children who had previously claimed this credit could be $600 poorer next year.
The American Opportunity Tax Credit was launched to help lower-income families pay for college. It allows eligible families to claim up to $2,500 each year for four years. When it expires, it will revert back to the previous Hope Credit and the maximum credit will drop to $1,800. Families will only be able to claim the credit for two years.
How do you feel about these tax cuts expiring? Does your family rely on them? Leave a comment and let us know!

It's the kind of surprise the Master of Suspense would have loved.
The National Film Preservation Foundation and the New Zealand Film Archive are announcing Wednesday the discovery of the first 30 minutes of a 1923 British film, "The White Shadow," considered to be the earliest feature film in which Alfred Hitchcock has a credit.
Alfred Hitchcock: An article in the Aug. 3 Calendar section about the discovery of a 1923 British film on which Alfred Hitchcock received a credit identified the head of the New Zealand Film Archive as Fred Stark.

Annual Report to Congress FY 2004
|MS Word (417 KB)
To maximize its effectiveness in enforcing the civil rights laws, OCR monitors complaint and compliance review resolution agreements to ensure that the commitments made in these agreements are carried out. During FY 2004, OCR conducted 2,084 monitoring activities. Following are some examples that show OCR's impact on both individual students and groups of students when schools and colleges carried out their resolution agreement commitments.
A school district refused to allow a student with a disability to transfer to another school but allowed school transfers for students without disabilities. Pursuant to a resolution agreement with OCR, the district revised its transfer policy so that the policy applies equally to all students.
|"I wish to thank you for your immense professionalism, cooperation,
technical guidance, and expert management of this review throughout its
duration. I personally derived invaluable knowledge and insight on the important
role of your office in the continuing pursuit of equity and quality programs
for public school children."
July 1, 2004, letter from a school district official
A school district was not exiting English language learner (ELL) students from its alternative language programs. The district later exited approximately 6,500 ELL students in one school year alone after it implemented its agreement with OCR. These students are increasingly successful in passing the state's high school competency examination and now have higher grade passing rates than students whose primary home language is English.
The number of participation opportunities for female athletes increased by 70 percent at a university after it implemented its agreement with OCR.
Students with diabetes were excluded from field trips in a school district. Also, staff was insufficiently trained to monitor and administer medications as needed during the school day and in extracurricular activities. These students are now joining their classmates on field trips, and the school district has adequately trained staff to serve the needs of students with diabetes.
Visually impaired students now have access to information resources and technical staff at a major university. The university is providing various publications in alternative formats and orientation on the use of assistive technology to students with disabilities.
After conducting a survey at its high school to assess the interests and abilities of its students, a school district added interscholastic girls' softball and volleyball teams. The new teams were provided the necessary equipment and supplies, and a facility was made available for the softball team.
Mobility-impaired students in one of the nation's largest school districts did not have access to magnet programs at 21 schools. The school district will soon complete renovations, including ramps, elevators, visual alarms, computerized card catalogs and signage, which will allow access of such students to more than 300 magnet programs.
American Indian students are no longer subject to discriminatory disciplinary procedures after a school district established a record-keeping system to ensure discipline is administered in a fair and nondiscriminatory manner. The district is also using a multicultural committee composed of parents and representatives of the local American Indian community to review disciplinary actions.
A student using a wheelchair was excluded from physical education and recreation because of conditions at her elementary school's track. The district made the track accessible, and she now can participate in athletic activities.
To come into compliance with Title IX regulatory requirements, a college that did not provide financial assistance on an equitable basis to its female athletes more than doubled the amount of such assistance during implementation of its agreement with OCR.
A school district had only two certified teachers for delivering services to ELL students, whose enrollment was increasing at a substantial rate. After implementing its agreement with OCR, the district now has 73 certified teachers for delivering such services.
Several state departments of education designated Title IX coordinators, adopted and disseminated nondiscrimination policies, and implemented grievance procedures to address complaints of sex discrimination.

Decorating With Map Collections
Maps and cartography decor may be saturating the blogosphere and posing in their fair share of big brand catalogs, but they're here to stay. Maybe its their nostalgic draw in a digital age, or their strong associations with adventure or our own personal memories, but maps are a design classic that trendiness won't force out of style anytime soon.
However, just because they're not going anywhere, doesn't mean map collections can never look contrived. The best way to ensure your map decor feels authentic is to decorate with maps that have a personal meaning to you. Maps of your home town, favorite vacation spot, or family origin location will always have a place in your home. And while some of the coolest patinas come from authentic vintage wear, even a new map of a favorite spot has its place in your life.
There are as many ways to decorate with maps as there are maps themselves, and with the resurgence in main stream popularity recently we've seen them move well beyond the gilt frame or dowels…
• Using maps as wallpaper has seen its fair share of fame in recent years. A whole room of maps can add charm and character to old and new construction alike. My favorite application to date is George Krauth's use of vintage maps of the Chesapeake bay in his bedroom. Rather than covering the whole room, he used them to anchor the bed and compliment other elements in the room. The yellow is a perfect contrast to the moody, sophisticated gray, and the maps also show his love for colonial port towns.
• Maps as art can take many forms. Many have a graphic nature that can stand alone just as any other piece of art. Others place in casual frames in spare places play up the humble nature of maps. And still others, grouped in large collections can have a similar "library" effect as a large grouping of old tomes.
• Using maps as you would any other decorative paper can make a strong and personalized statement. We love Kim's use of maps from her travels abroad to cover containers for her craft supplies, and Rhiannon and Victor's cabinet coverings. You can also use them to cover map shades, books, or even roller shades!
How have you put your map collection to work?

The Houston Dynamo got a late goal from defender Bobby Boswell to earn a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire in front of 12,473 at Toyota Park on Saturday night. Boswell rose above Chicago defender Yamith Cuesta to head a Brad Davis corner kick home in the 83rd minute. The goal extended Houston's unbeaten streak to five games and brought Chicago's winless streak to four.
Chicago took an early lead with an opportunistic goal in the 18th minute. Forward Diego Chaves beat Houston defender Corey Ashe to a loose ball just outside the box, turning and sprinting into the right side of the area before blasting a 10-yard shot into the top left corner.
Houston nearly equalized just five minutes later. Forward Will Bruin created the chance, beating Chicago center back Josip Mikulic in the box to get a clear look at goal from a bad angle. The rookie, however, was unable to sneak his chipped shot past Cuesta, who cleared the would-be goal from inside the six-yard box.
The 20 minutes that followed were very sloppy. Both teams struggled in possession, eventually resorting to a direct style that did not produce any legitimate opportunities until the 44th minute, when Houston forward Cam Weaver headed a Davis corner kick inches wide of the right post.
The Dynamo started the second half strongly, almost equalizing in the 47th minute when midfielder Lovel Palmer volleyed a shot from the top of the arch and sent the ball crashing into the outside of the right post. The Fire weathered Houston's storm and created a couple of dangerous chances in the middle of the second half.
The first opportunity came in the 62nd minute. Houston failed to clear a Marco Pappa free kick and Baggio Husidic collected the bouncing ball at the penalty spot. The unmarked midfielder, though, couldn't take advantage of the opportunity, sending his half-volley well over the crossbar.
Chicago could have doubled its lead four minutes later. Some nice combination play on the left sideline allowed Fire winger Patrick Nyarko to play former Dynamo forward Dominic Oduro behind the Houston defense. The speedy striker ran into the box for a one-on-one with goalkeeper Tally Hall but couldn't quite finish, hitting his 12-yard effort off the crossbar and out of play.
Houston turned up the pressure after Oduro's near miss, spending a lot of time in Chicago's box before eventually equalizing with seven minutes left to play in regular time. Davis curled in high corner kick to the far post that Boswell headed across to pull the Dynamo even. Both teams pushed for a winner after Boswell's goal but, despite having seven minutes of stoppage time to work with, neither came close. The result moves the Dynamo to 2-1-3 on the season, while the Fire are now 1-3-2.

Eric and I had been waiting for our wedding day for a long time. After meeting in high school and dating for six years (four of those in different states attending different universities), when he proposed after asking my mom for her blessing, I was beyond ecstatic. I immediately began rifling through my secret "wedding inspiration" folders on my computer (inspirations collected long before the days of Pinterest) and realized that our hope and vision for our wedding were pretty simple – we wanted it to be a fun, celebratory time for our guests and each other, and a time honoring those in our lives who had helped us get to this beautiful point in our lives.
We wanted our wedding to take place somewhere that felt like home. Enter Crystal Springs, a beautiful, rustic venue in Magnolia, Texas, about an hour northwest of Houston. With its ceremony site nestled in piney woods and its reception hall made of beautiful wood and limestone, Crystal Springs served as the perfect backdrop for the vintage and hand-done feel we were going for.
Inspired by pretty, old things, my mom and I scoured many antique stores all across the country and planned a wedding full of meaningful and homemade touches. My mom (have you noticed yet how important she is to me?) sewed the 250 teal-striped napkins at each place setting and baked banana breads, wrapped in burlap and twine, for each guest to take home as their party favors. Our florals, which guests were also encouraged to take home at the end of the night, filled mismatched jars and vases we'd collected over the last year.
Our wedding was a labor of love and a true celebration the beginning of our life as husband and wife. My momma walked me down the aisle (a moment I will cherish always) and Eric and I honored my father, who died six years ago, by lighting a memory candle during the ceremony. We incorporated our families in many other ways, by displaying the wedding photos of important couples in our lives and using my father's beloved 1969 Camaro as our getaway car.
My husband and my favorite part of the day, beside the ceremony and making our vows to each other in front of everyone we love, was seeing our guests having so much fun. It was important to us that as we celebrated our marriage, our guests knew how honored we felt to have them there. Our wedding day was perfect and we feel so extraordinarily blessed and EXCITED have begun our lives together in such great company!

I am not sure we can say that the latest Jargon in the world of the Internet is "Web 2.0", because it's getting to be old news, but here are my basic thoughts on the topic. While every evolution of software seams to have a evolving number the Internet has stayed the same. Windows Office has gone from 95 to 2003 (2006) and my favored videogame has gone through at least five stages. So why has the Internet not?
Well some say it has and some say it's still evolving and has not left 1.0, is at most around 1.005. But those who do say it has evolved say it's now at version 2.0. So what is different? Though this is more based on subjectivity than anything else, it might be worth thinking about, is the Internet evolving and how?

In the United States, the issue of elder mistreatment is garnering the attention of the law enforcement, medical, and research communities as more people are living longer than ever before. This trend is expected to increase, as the U.S. Census Bureau projects that more than 62 million Americans will be age 65 or older in 2025, an increase of 78 percent from 2001, and more than 7.4 million will be age 85 or older, an increase of nearly 68 percent from 2001.[1] This aging population will require more care and protection than is currently available or possible.
The National Research Council defines elder abuse and mistreatment as "(a) intentional actions that cause harm or create a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable elder by a caregiver or other person who stands in a trust relationship to the elder, or (b) failure by a caregiver to satisfy the elder's basic needs or to protect the elder from harm."[2] This definition includes financial exploitation of the elderly as well as physical abuse or neglect.
NIJ's primary objectives regarding elder mistreatment are to identify emerging promising practices and evaluate their effectiveness in improving prevention, detection, and intervention efforts.

Guide for Reviewing Public Road Design and Bicycling Accommodations for Virginia Bicycling Advocates
Reston, VA, July 14, 2010 - Virginia bicycling advocates have a new resource to help them review and comment on public road projects. The new guide, prepared by Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling (FABB) in consultation with the Virginia (VDOT) and Fairfax County departments of transportation, outlines ways bicycling proponents can get involved in the process of designing, approving, building, and retrofitting roads to ensure that bicycling accommodations are integrated into the plans where needed. Although geared for Virginia, many of the ideas contained in the report could be applied to other locations as well.
As described in the guide, planning, approving, and constructing road projects is a long process that presents many opportunities for bicycling advocates to provide input into the final outcome. Readers will find helpful tips for speaking at public hearings and meeting with engineers. The easy to read booklet covers the basics of understanding engineering plans and also outlines various roadway features (such as intersections, roundabouts, wide curb lanes, and bike lanes) that could be shown in the plans. Design standards and guidelines, design and safety issues, and a checklist for each of these features help advocates review and comment on road design plans.
"As far as we know, no one has compiled material like this before," said Fionnuala Quinn, primary author of the guide. "I wanted to use my background in civil engineering to help demystify the road design process and to help people take advantage of occasions to incorporate bike facilities whenever roads projects are being designed. A crucial point to remember is that the earlier you provide input to the road design, the better your chances of having an effect on the final design. Besides the printed version of the report, we also plan to have an online version on the FABB web site that contains links to additional information."
Funding for the report came from an Advocacy Advance Grant from the Alliance for Biking & Walking. Funding for the grant was provided by SRAM, Planet Bike, Bikes Belong Coalition, and 42BELOW. Additional funding was received from IEEE.
The report "Guide for Reviewing Public Road Design and Bicycling Accommodations for Virginia Bicycle Advocates," by Fionnuala Quinn and Bruce Wright, will be provided to major bicycle organizations in Virginia and to the Alliance for Biking & Walking. Copies are available free of charge upon request to finnbike [at] gmail.com or can be downloaded from www.fabb-bikes.org.
For more information on the guide, contact Fionnuala Quinn, firstname.lastname@example.com, or Bruce Wright, chairman [at] fabb-bikes.org, 703-328-9619. FABB is a grassroots initiative in Fairfax County, VA, affiliated with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA), aiming to make bicycling an integral part of Fairfax County's transportation network.

Award show pays tribute to the comedians whose outstanding achievements shaped the past year
NBC and Don Mischer Productions have announced Bill Cosby will be honored with the Johnny Carson Award for Comedic Excellence at the American Comedy Awards, which airs May 8 (9 p.m.) on NBC.
The Johnny Carson Award for Comedic Excellence is presented to an individual who, over the course of his lifetime, has made an extraordinary contribution to comedy and whose impact and innovations have changed the landscape and inspired future generations of entertainers.
"This is where I started: NBC and Johnny Carson," Cosby said.
"Bill Cosby is an iconic figure at the forefront of the American comedy landscape," said Paul Telegdy, president of alternative and late night programming at NBC Entertainment. "His work in television, film, stand-up comedy and literature has shaped the national sense of humor and has had an enduring impact on comedians and fans of all ages. We are delighted to honor him with the Johnny Carson Award during NBC's inaugural broadcast of the American Comedy Awards."
Cosby is one of America's most beloved comedians and has captivated generations of fans with his comedy routines, iconic albums and best-selling books. His comedy transcends age, gender and cultural barriers.
Cosby broke television's racial barrier with "I Spy," becoming the first African-American to co-star on a television drama series while winning three consecutive Emmys. He created and produced the Emmy-winning cartoon "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids," which began airing in the 1970s and was made into a film in 2004.
Perhaps Cosby's greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning "The Cosby Show," which ran from 1984-92 on NBC. Cosby has received the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award.
The American Comedy Awards will honor those who have achieved new heights during the past year in both film and television, as well as pay tribute to some of comedy's most enduring personalities. The telecast will acknowledge the work of stand-ups, those who specialize in movies and the actors and actresses who are seen by millions on TV every week.

Alcohol and Drug Problems: Practice Interventions
Maryann Amodeo and Luz Marilis López
This entry focuses on practice interventions for working with families and individuals including behavioral marital therapy, transitional family therapy, and the developmental model of recovery, as well as motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, relapse prevention training, and harm reduction therapy. A commonality in these intervention frameworks is their view of the therapeutic work in stages—from active drinking and drug use, to deciding on change, to movement toward change and recovery. We also identify skills that equip social work practitioners to make a special contribution to alcohol and other drug (AOD) interventions and highlight factors to consider in choosing interventions.
There are a range of practice interventions for clients with AOD problems based on well-controlled research.
Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias
Carole B. Cox
Dementia is not a disease, but a group of symptoms so severe that they inhibit normal functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia in older persons impacting not only the person with the illness but the entire family. Obtaining an accurate diagnosis is essential in order to assure appropriate and timely care and to exclude reversible causes of dementia. Social workers can play key roles throughout the course of the illness as educators, therapists, supporter and advocates for improved policies and services.
Catheleen Jordan and Cynthia Franklin
Assessment is an ongoing process of data collection aimed at identifying client strengths and problems. Early assessment models were based on psychoanalytic theory; however, current assessment is based on brief, evidence-based practice models. Both quantitative and qualitative methods may be used to create an integrative skills approach that links assessment to intervention. Specifically, assessment guides treatment planning, as well as informs intervention selection and monitoring.
Bullying in Youth
Jonathan Singer and Karen Slovak
Bullying is the most common form of violence in schools and has been shown to disrupt the emotional and social development of both the targets and the perpetrators of bullying (Raskauskas & Stoltz, 2007). Bullying can be physical, verbal, relational, and direct or indirect. There are well-established age and sex trends (Olweus, 1993; Smith, Madsen, & Moody, 1999). There has been considerable research on bullying-prevention programs and scholarship on best-practice guidelines for school social workers (Dupper, 2013). An emerging concern is with the use of electronic and Internet devices in bullying, referred to as "cyberbullying." In this article we define bullying and cyberbullying; discuss risk factors associated with being a bully, a victim, and a bully-victim; describe prevention and intervention programs; and discuss emerging trends in both bullying and cyberbullying.
Children's Health
Shirley Gatenio Gabel
The history of social work is deeply rooted in helping vulnerable populations improve their well-being, and children have been at the forefront of these efforts since the inception of the profession. Health is long understood to be critical to children's well-being. Social workers who are skilled in integrating different systems can play pivotal roles in engineering new and improving existing health-care infrastructures and can act as advocates for fusing health-service systems with other social infrastructures to optimize outcomes for children. This entry reviews trends in children's health throughout the world, particularly in the United States. It describes the dramatic improvements in reducing infant mortality, child mortality and morbidity from many infectious diseases as well as accidental and environmental causes, and the unequal progress in realizing children's health. The challenges that lie ahead that pose risks to children's health are discussed, including the health inequities created among and within countries by social, economic, and political factors. An argument for a comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based, and cross-disciplinary approach to improve children's future health is presented.
Cognitive Therapy
Joseph Walsh
Cognitive therapy is a perspective on social work intervention with individuals, families, and groups that focuses on conscious thought processes as the primary determinants of most emotions and behaviors. It has great appeal to social work practitioners because of its utility in working with many types of clients and problem situations, and its evidence-based support in the literature. Cognitive therapies include sets of strategies focused on education, a restructuring of thought processes, improved coping skills, and increased problem-solving skills for clients.
Counseling Older Adult Victims of Ageism in the Workplace
Margo A. Jackson
Despite the significant life and work experiences that a growing number of older adults have to contribute to the workforce, pervasive ageism operates in overt and covert ways to discriminate against older workers in hiring and workplace practices. This article provides a current overview of definitions, prevalence, types, and effects of ageism in the U.S. workplace. For social workers counseling older adult victims of workplace ageism, this article discusses theories, foundational knowledge, and ongoing self-awareness and training needed for bias awareness. Counseling strategies and resources are highlighted, including coping and resilience strategies to counteract ageist stereotypes and discrimination, facilitate job-seeking support, and advocate for older workers by promoting awareness and serving as a resource for employers to reduce workplace ageism.
Disability: Psychiatric Disabilities
W. Patrick Sullivan
The psychosocial catastrophe that accompanies serious mental illness negatively impacts individual performance and success in all key life domains. A person-in-environment perspective, and with a traditional and inherent interest in consumer and community strengths, is well positioned to address psychiatric disabilities. This entry describes a select set of habilitation and rehabilitation services that are ideally designed to address the challenges faced by persons with mental illness. In addition, it is argued that emphasis on a recovery model serves as an important framework for developing effective interventions.
Health Care: Practice Interventions
Lois F. Cowles
Social work in health care emerged with immigration and urbanization associated with industrialization, and the resultant shift from physician visits to the patient's home and workplace to hospital-centered care. This change is alleged to have resulted in a loss of the doctor's perspective of the psychosocial influences on physical health. Originally, some nurses were assigned the function of addressing this loss. But eventually, the function became recognized as that of a social worker. From its beginnings in the general hospital setting in the late 1800s, social work in health care, that is, medical social work, has expanded into multiple settings of health care, and the role of the social worker from being a nurse to requiring a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) from a university. However, the broad function of social work in health care remains much the same, that is, "to remove the obstacles in the patient's surroundings or in his mental attitude that interfere with successful treatment, thus freeing him to aid in his own recovery" (Cannon, 1923. p 15). Health care social workers are trained to work across the range of "methods," that is, work with individuals, small groups, and communities (social work "methods" are called "casework", "group work" and "community organization"). They work to assist the patient, using a broad range of interventions, including, when indicated, speaking on behalf of the client (advocacy), helping clients to assert themselves, to modify undesirable behaviors, to link with needed resources, to face their challenges, to cope with crises, to develop improved understanding of their health-related thought processes and habits, to build needed self confidence to do what is required to help themselves deal with their health problem, to gain insight and support from others who are in a similar situation, to gain strength from humor, or from a supportive environment, and through spiritual experience, and from practicing tasks that are needed to deal with their health-related problems or from joining forces with others in the community to modify it in the interest of improved health status for all, or to gradually restore a sense of stability and normalcy after a traumatic experience. Most important of all, perhaps, is the "helping relationship" between client and social worker, which needs to be one of total understanding and acceptance of the client as a person. A sizable portion of the U.S. population lacks financial access to health care, where health care is regarded as a privilege rather than a right, as it is seen in all other industrial nations (except South Africa). Current trends in the U.S. health care system reflect efforts to control rising health care costs without dealing with the "real problems," which are: (1) the lack of a single-payer health care system and: (2) the lack of focus on "public health."
Interventions for Adolescent Depression
Jacqueline Corcoran
Rates of depression increase during adolescence and may put youth at risk for suicidality, future episodes, and impaired functioning in multiple life domains. Increased vulnerability for depression during this stage may occur because it is when the cognitive capacity for personal reflection, abstract reasoning, and formal operational thought develop; depressive styles for attributing events may hence form, along with hopelessness about the future. However, other biological and social influences may also interact with the increased cognitive vulnerability. Latino ethnicity and female gender appear to exert particular influence. Treatment for adolescent depression includes medication (mainly Prozac and Zoloft), cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and family therapy. Medication and psychosocial treatment is also combined, particularly for treatment-resistant depression.

Full disclosure: I wrote this story. But that doesn't mean it isn't awesome! And inspiring. Meet 10 moms who've juggled the head-scratching, hair-raising, gut-wrenching duties of parenting, all while battling cancer. They are captial-S Survivors and they have a message for you! Take a look.
Back in July, I had the privilege of being a part of this awesome "momvivors" photo shoot for Parenting (it's in the October issue—get a copy!). 10 of us—all with different diagnoses, experiences, anxieties and scars—gathered together for a day of absolute empowerment. We laughed, we talked, we drank Veuve Clicquot. Each of the moms shared her struggles and her triumphs with me and, as a momvivor myself, I was incredibly inspired. And reminded that no matter how hard this parenting gig gets, we are so lucky to be able to do it.
Please read the piece and let me know what you think! I hope you'll be as pumped reading about these women as I was meeting them (more disclosure: one of the women is my sister, Melissa, a lymphoma survivor!). Part of the project is to motivate other women to make their health a priority, to never put themselves last as so many moms do (everyone in the story is grateful that they found their cancer when they did--early enough to battle it and win!). Check out our Be Smart, Be Healthy pledge and pass it on to someone you love—or even someone you kinda like. This is the most important thing we can do for our kids!
Ever feel overwhelmed by parenting? These cancer survivor moms will make you realize you can handle more than you think!

Joshua, Actually, running a heavy background load can (as you have observed) significantly affect network times, especially if it is the receiver that is loaded. As to whether or not it "should", I cannot say (kind of a value judgement there:-), but one can try to understand it. There are deliberate tradeoffs made in the tuning of the kernel and for better or worse the linux tradeoffs optimize "user response time" at the expense of a variety of things that might improve throughput on a purely computational load or throughput on the network or pretty much anything else. Sometimes one can retune -- Josip Loncaric's TCP patch is one such retuning, but one can also envision changing timeslice granularity and other things to optimize one thing at the expense of others. Generally such a retuning is a Bad Idea. Right now the kernel is pretty damn good, overall, and all components are delicately balanced. As Mark's previous reply made clear, some naive retunings would just lock up the system (or really make performance go to hell) as important components starve. It isn't too hard to see why loading the receiver might decrease the efficiency of the network. Imagine the network component of the kernel from the point of view of the stream receiver (not the transmitter). It never knows when the next packet/message will come through. The kernel does its best to do OTHER work in the gaps between packets by installing top half and bottom half handlers and the like (so it does no more work then absolutely necessary when the asynchronous interrupt is first received, postponing what it can until later) to provide the illusion of seamless access to the CPU and other resources for running processes. One side effect of this is that there are times when the delivery of packets is delayed so that a background application can complete a timeslice it was given "in between" packets when the system was momentarily idle. What this ends up meaning is that when the system is BUSY, it de facto delays the delivery of packets that it has buffered for fractions of the many timeslices of CPU the system is allocating to the competing tasks when the network process is momentarily idle (blocked, waiting for the next packet). If it didn't do this a high speed packet stream could (for example) starve running processes for CPU by forcing them to wait for the whole stream to complete. Processing the text of TCP packets (not to mention the interrupts and context switches themselves) is a nontrivial load on the CPU in its own right, so much so that people try NOT to run high-performance network connections for fine-grained code over TCP if they can avoid it. The network stack ends up contending for CPU with everything else that is running, and it makes no sense to retune things so that this is never true as the cure will likely be worse than the disease for most usage patterns. Curiously, transmitting works more efficiently than receiving, probably because the transmitter is in charge of the scheduling. In very crude terms the transmitter is never interrupted or delayed by other processes -- it just gets its timeslice, executes a send or stream of sends, eventually blocks (moving up in priority while blocked) or finishes its timeslice, and then moves on. No delays to speak of. Try this: Do your netpipe transmitter on an unloaded host, a host at load 1 and at load 2. Do your netpipe receiver on an unloaded host, a host at load 1 and one at load 2. Fill in the matrix -- load 0 to load 0, load 0 to load 1, etc. I found (in similar tests done years ago) that a TRANSMITTER could be loaded to 2 (per cpu) with only a small degradation of throughput, but loading a RECEIVER would drop throughput dramatically, by as much as 50%. rgb -- Robert G.

In the first set Russians and Chinese went hand in hand and neither of the teams was able to gain more than one point advantage over the opponent. Accordingly, one point decided about Chinese victory. The Russian team lost 25:27. The Russians bounced back in the second set and, after 24 minutes of a leveled battle, won 25:19. The Russian team kept up the game at the high level, nonetheless the Chinese did not make it easy for them to win the third set. Only in the end of it did the Russian team manage to obtain a slight advantage, which they upheld till the end of the third set. The defending champions were beaten 19:20. That failure gave them the boost and in the fourth set the Chinese, despite the fight put up by the Italians, made their way straight to the victory. Although the Chinese team played as well as they could they were not able to break the Russian advantage and lost in tie break 14:16

SOURCE: Nuvilex, Inc.
April 18, 2013 08:30 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 18, 2013) - Nuvilex, Inc. (OTCQB: NVLX) has "Cell-in-a-Box," the Diabetes Research Institute has BioHub. One is cell encapsulation technology, and the other is an integrated spongy wafer. While they have different names and a different structure, the idea is the same -- building a fully protected home to house pancreatic islet (insulin-producing) cells for transplantation into diabetics.
Both Nuvilex and the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) have identified the problem and clearly have a game plan in place to address it. Between "Cell-in-a-Box" and BioHub there is real hope on the horizon for diabetics who currently engage in a daily routine of checking their blood-glucose levels many times, giving themselves insulin either through injections or with an insulin pump, watching what they eat, monitoring how much or how little exercise they're getting and the list goes on and on. While the islet cells in a diabetic's pancreas no longer sense glucose and therefore the pancreas doesn't produce insulin, the pump or self injections provide the body with the insulin needed to stay healthy.
Well, help is on the way! Whether it will be Nuvilex's "Cell-in-a-Box" or the DRI's BioHub or both, the many scientists working to offer what Nuvilex calls a type of "artificial pancreas" and DRI calls a "mini-organ" are on the right track with their similar approaches to the same problem. Islet cell transplantation is nothing new, but long term housing of the cells is the goal. The director of the DRI, Dr. Camillo Ricordi, says for his organization's BioHub to be successful, the structure must prove it "restores natural insulin production and normalizes blood sugar levels without imposing other risks."
Groundbreaking work in a high profile study called the "Edmonton Protocol" showed that pancreatic islet cell transplantations could hold the key to a game-changing diabetes therapy. However, the problem in that study was...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Health officials monitoring a central Ohio mumps outbreak say the viral illness has now affected more than 100 people.
Eighty-one of the 103 confirmed cases reported Friday are linked to Ohio State University. Those infected range in age from 4 to 58. The cases span from January to this week.
Most of those infected are from Columbus. A few are from elsewhere in surrounding Franklin County.
Individual cases also have been reported involving people from Fairfield, Hamilton, Licking and Union counties.
Delaware County says it is investigating seven suspected cases of mumps.
Mumps often starts with fever, fatigue and body aches. Those infected are urged to stay home for a few days, cover their mouths and noses when coughing or sneezing, and frequently wash their hands.

In a mysterious whodunit regarding which Wofford quarterback played best during spring practice and will go into fall camp at the top of the depth chart, it turned out to be a redshirt freshman.
Butler did it.
In a mysterious whodunit regarding which Wofford quarterback played best during spring practice and will go into fall camp at the top of the depth chart, it turned out to be a redshirt freshman who has never taken a college snap.
Brad Butler came out ahead of classmate Brandon Goodson, rising junior Michael Weimer and rising sophomore Evan Jacks, who started the final four games of last season but was shuffled to the back of a tight four-way race during spring drills, which ended more than two weeks ago. It took this long to figure out the pecking order.
"This was a very close competition during the spring," Wofford quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Wade Lang said. "Over the course of 15 practices, there were only eight plays that separated the top from the bottom."
Butler, from Rome, Ga., was a four-year starter at Darlington School, where he accounted for more than 70 touchdowns and nearly 7,000 yards. But he was largely considered, at least from the outside, fourth heading into spring practice. Jacks, although he didn't win a game as the starter, appeared to be grooming for the spot. Weimer, who was No. 2 behind now-graduated James Lawson before suffering a serious knee injury, is fully healthy. Goodson started the final two scrimmages and had been seen as an exciting playmaker.
"It really doesn't matter what people see," Butler said during the final week of spring practice. "The only thing that matters is what Coach Lang sees. I think I've proven myself. … Everybody is athletic. Everybody can throw. Everybody can run. I think we've all been back and forth."
It still could be any of the four taking the first snap of the season Aug. 30 when the Terriers play at Georgia Tech. Last year's constant three-way battle between Lawson, Weimer and Jacks could end up being less confusing than what lies ahead this season. Lang said he would like one of the quarterbacks to pull decisively ahead, but that never happened in 2013, when the Terriers finished 5-6 overall and 4-4 in the Southern Conference.
"It's nice to be in this," Butler said. "Last season, being a redshirt guy, you're on the team, but you're running the scout team and not really being given a chance to compete. So this spring has been great."
Wofford, which lost two all-conference offensive linemen, Jared Singleton and Ty Gregory (Greer High School), as well as four others who were projected to be in the lineup but gave up fifth years of eligibility, will be young across the front. There are no seniors.
Right guard T.J. Chamberlin (rising junior) and right tackle Anton Wahrby (sophomore) will return on that side of center, which is projected to be sophomore Bradley Way or redshirt freshman Roo Daniels. Two redshirt freshmen, Davis Lenoir and Mike Jones, are listed as the left tackles on the depth chart, with sophomore DeQuan Miller being backed up by redshirt freshman Justin Lott at guard. Redshirt freshman Chuck Rouse and junior Jeff Tucker are the backups at right guard. Sophomores Tye Youngblood and Robert Massey are behind Wahrby at right tackle.
On defense, a pair of redshirt freshmen emerged as No. 1 on the depth chart. Terrance Morris came out ahead of sophomore Dylan Young at outside linebacker and Cole Higbie ahead of junior Zack Cole at strong safety.
Junior defensive lineman Tom Bove, junior defensive end Darius Burton and sophomore linebacker Lincoln Stewart were not on the depth chart because they were limited in spring practice because of injuries.
