For the ACC, the first leg of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic brought another cosmic flop. Tennessee, which finished below .500 last season, beat North Carolina State, which went 8-5 in 2011 and is expected to do better this year, by two touchdowns.That marked the fourth appearance by a team from the basketball league in this football event, and going 0-for-4 is how you get to be known as a basketball league.
At least the ACC's first three Chick-fil-A losses came against SEC heavyweights — Alabama twice, LSU once. Tennessee had been slotted to finish fifth in the seven-team SEC East. (Behind Missouri, which hasn't yet played a game in its new conference.) But the Vols beat State, and near the end a few Tennessee fans raised the chant, "SEC! SEC!", but there was no oomph in it. Who crows over a point that has been proved a hundred times?
The SEC plays the nation's finest football. That's a cold fact. The ACC is the fifth-best of the Big Six conferences, and thank goodness for the defoliated Big East. But the weekend offered one last chance for the basketball league to hurl blows against the empire.
On Saturday, Clemson stood in against Auburn. This shouldn't have been a matchup of peers — Clemson is the reigning ACC champ, Auburn comes off a fourth-place finish in the SEC West, and Clemson had beaten Auburn last season — but such is the disparity in the conferences that the ACC''s orange Tigers were only a field-goal favorite over the SEC's version of same.
Here we pause to note more similarities between the programs: Each campus sits roughly two hours from the Georgia Dome on I-85; each has won a national championship since last the Georgia Bulldogs claimed one, and each, in its orange Tiger-y way, is rather strange.
Auburn is coached by Gene Chizik, who was 14-0 with Cam Newton as his quarterback and is 21-30 without. Clemson is coached by Dabo Swinney, who is 1-4 against Paul Johnson and Georgia Tech. (Although one of those Tech victories has been vacated by NCAA sanctions.) Auburn is working with new offensive and defensive coordinators; Clemson, having yielded 70 points to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl, is also under new defensive management.
Through three quarters Saturday night, there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between these Tigers. The game was tied at 16. Auburn's defense, as prepared by the former Georgia/Falcons coordinator Brian VanGorder, was bending against the excellence of Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd but not quite buckling; the Clemson D under Brent Venables, formerly of Oklahoma, was yielding rushing yards but bowing up on third down.
Boyd's issue was that he couldn't catch his own passes. Without the gifted receiver Sammy Watkins, who is suspended for the season's first two games, Clemson kept dropping passes. Two flubs late in the third quarter forced Clemson to settle for yet another field goal, and on the first snap of the fourth quarter tight end Sam Cooper had both hands on a Boyd pass but couldn't hold it. (To be fair, Boyd threw it a tad behind his man.) The resulting interception led to an Auburn field goal and a three-point lead.
Falling behind galvanized Clemson. Far from dropping the ball, DeAndre Hopkins rose above his defender and, despite being interfered with, snatched a touchdown pass on a fade route. Inside the final 10 minutes now, and the basketball league had a four-point lead.
Technically, it was the first day of September, but the game had taken on a midseason feel. The Dome was packed and loud, both sets of fans roaring, both teams playing as if this was more than a non-conference affair two nights before Labor Day. There was orange Tiger pride on the line both ways, and there was surely conference chest-thumping at work, too. Not that the basketball league has had much cause for that lately.
On this night, however, the basketball league broke through. Clemson and Boyd did the deed. (And let's not forget running back Andre Ellington, who rushed for 231 yards.) "A big-time gutsy win," Swinney called it, not exactly underselling the moment.
But why should he? On its fifth try, an ACC team beat an SEC opponent in the Kickoff Classic. Just this once, the almighty SEC wasn't quite so mighty.

Frazier looks almost ready to dominate. Tre Mason looked great. Too bad his fumble happened, because he was ripping it up other than that one play.

Face the facts: Clemson beat Auburn without Sammy Watkins AND they did not even play well (Clemson was not sharp and they simply allowed Auburn to stay close with numerous dropped balls and several bad penalties). All of this said ====== Clemson is 1-0. Auburn is 0-1.
NC State is not very good. Period.
(Excluding Alabama & LSU) the SEC very rarely plays any decent teams out of conference except for the automatic rivalry games (i.e. UGA/GT, FL/MIA, SC/CLEM, etc.). Alabama & LSU play decent teams because they are so solid everyone knows they will still win; however, the other 12 teams in the SEC rarely take any chances they might lose an out of conference game. This is an unfortunate but effective scheme…………the SEC is STRONG at the very top………..this "soft schedule" scheme makes sure the lower tier SEC teams get some certain wins and pads the SEC win/loss ratio. Padding the SEC win/loss ratio results in inflated strength of schedule for all of the SEC teams = reality.
This is why I have suggested for years now that games against teams ranked outside of the Top 100 should not be considered in BCS voting or any of the computer polls!!!
I was also hoping for an annual ACC vs. SEC challenge just like the ACC vs. Big 10 challenge in basketball………this is the best way to compare conferences head-to-head. The conference that wins the most games is better Top to Bottom (rather than just claiming the SEC is better at the very Top……which is obvious).
Go GT!
P.S. UGA did not look good at all against Buffalo (except for Gurley and Jarvis Jones). I watched the game.

I'm assuming you cash a check for this bit of obviousness. And if you do I'm not giving you enough credit for IQ based on the banality of your ordinary drivel. Apparently you have found a way to hynotize your employers with nothing while you make for the bank with your salary. Really, sportswriting the way you practice it is an exercise in nothing. What did you tell us here new? I say nothing. Clemson thinks they have the best team they have fielded in a long while and Auburn is rebuilding. That's it. You could have stayed home enjoying valuable family time and accomplished as much with your column. But kudos to you again for figuring a way to get paid for this bit of nonsense. Then again maybe you do it for free because you love it so much. And that would seem fair.

i saw wisconsin, stanford, amd florida (ranked teams) look way worse than clemson did against a quality SEC team.
i love how when the gamechickens barely beat vandy it was a 'gritty' and 'gutsy' win. SEC fans are as dumb as they look.
Also, the PAC 12 lost three out of conf games this weekend didn't they?
September 1st, 2012
11:30 pm
Um, what did we expect was going to happen when #14 Clemson played unranked Auburn? Wasn't this outcome somewhat predictable?
Clemson is to be congratulated for the win. But overall, both teams looked pretty sloppy and made a lot of mistakes. Auburn corrects a few of them and they win. Clemson corrects a few of them and they blow Auburn out. They both correct, and you get the same outcome as actually happened.

GT Grad : From the 'Blitz'…" To dismiss the accomplishment of Tennessee's win is egregious. Sure, there will be no shortage of killjoys who will discount NC State based on the inferiority of the ACC compared to the SEC. But NCSU finished 2011 about as hot as any team in college football and returned a loaded roster. I still anticipate the Wolfpack having a solid, 8-or-9-win season." …Are you a killjoy..?

it's funny oregons offense is so like gts but they can pass and the qb is fast. and the gt coach is toooo stooooopid to realize this so he runs the archaic offense with an immobile qb who can't throw! brilliant!!

don't even compare any team to last year. let the games play out before passing judgement. i think clemson will be good as will auburn but bama is once again the sec dominant team. lsu bama will be fun as for uga? they will lose in columbia next week.

A lot of close games for ranked teams today and some were beat. Right now Oklahoma and UTEP are tied 7-7 late in the half. Auburn is a middle of the road SEC team. Could have won the game. Got tired at the end on defense. Clemson is vunerable this year. GT could beat them. Georgia played poorly and still beat Buffalo easily. We will find out a little more about everybody in the next couple of weeks. Bama looked strong and maybe the best team in the country again.

Oregon got some cool uni's, and their offense is basically the same as Tech's but they just way smoother and efficient.
Clemson should have blown Auburn out, but blew a lot of opportunities in the redzone..
Kudos to them for still winning even though it was terribly sloppy..
NC State finished what in the ACC .. Like 3rd or 4th in the Coastal .. Not exactly a league leader..
This is a horrible article from a supposed journalist..

"North Carolina State, which went 8-5 in 2011 and is expected to do better this year,"
NCSU went 4-4 in the ACC in 2011 and finished 4th in the Atlantic. This year they will probably finish 3rd in the Atlantic, behind FSU and Clemson, with another 4-4 record. There is no doubt that the SEC is better than the ACC but let's not make NCSU to be something they aren't – in 5 years under TO'B, they have never finished higher than 3rd in their Division.

That's why they actually play the games instead of just asking reporters who is going to win.

which went 8-5 in 2011 and is expected to do better this year
Who expects them to do better? They aren't very good. They have no chance at all of winning the ACC, one of the weakest conferences in college football. The way the media (mostly ESPN) acts after SEC games is getting old. They always try to build up the other team like they are much better then they really are. According to ESPN, NC State, Vandy, and Bowling Green are top notch teams this year.

saying that a team should do good this year based on what they did last year is a joke.bringing up clemsons bad loss in the orange bowl is pointless.for it is a new season.the past is the past.also the SEC isnt as mighty as the media makes it out to be..other than lsu arkansas and bama the rest are just a little above average.in fact the SEC is like any other conference.they have 2 to 3 really good teams and the rest average to above average

September 2nd, 2012
7:50 am
SEC is good, they always seem to have 3 great teams, then a couple of good teams.
I think SEC overall best football conf year after year. But last year the Big12 was a little better. Biggest issue with SEC is it seems to easy to go undefeated in Conf play. Year after year if a team is real good they just walk though their SEC schedule. LSU, Bama, Auburn, Bama, Fl,…… Even when Auburn went undefeated their toughest win was Clemson, in fact they were very lucky to win that game.
Bama looked awesome, wow, that team is loaded.
Vols looked real good, key to their season is health, if they stay healthy the will battle for the SEC-East.
UGA, LSU, Auburn looked looked real good.
USCe, Vandy looked ok to bad.

"If we played Clemson three weeks from now . . ."
This statement reflects one of the (many) inanities spouted by SEC fans.
They always seem to think that any team they play is in mid-season form and as good as they are going to get from opening day. Never occurs to this guy that if they played Clemson 3 weeks from now, they may improve on a few things as well. Not to mention having their best player back.
September 2nd, 2012

All that matters is that Auburn lost. I like seeing SEC dominate, but a loss by Awburn, UT, or the lizards from trailer park state south of Georgia makes my day.

Its always strange to read a sports columnist having to pander to his lowbrow readership to maintain a modicum of popularity. Mr. Bradley's vehicle can be easily identified in the parking lot—it has two SEC car flags fluttering from the windows.

It's time for all the excuses to go away… GT vs. VT. Will Paul Johnson and company make this a special year? CPJ either wins big this year, or he heads back to Georgia Southern, where he can recruit, and win National Championships…

When their school except in rarest circumstances has a chance to win and they have 1-2 conference heavyweights that are exceptional and always in conference and national championship games.
For the sec in the rare are a slew including Georgia while the exceptional are Alabama and LSU – in past years these two teams are at the top.
So I am a middle to lower tier sec fan beating up on other mid to low tier teams is a big thing even bigger because my conference is the sec
September 2nd, 2012

Kudos to the clempsonites. The difference was the experience of Boyd at QB. Frazier will be good, but not ready for prime time. I thought AU's extremely young O Line played a pretty good game. Tunde Farenyike at Back up center I thought played GREAT. No snap problems, no offsides, and pretty good blocking. Dismukes better get his ISH together quickly or he might lose his job.
Auburn will be OK. Ellington is a great back. Especially in the pistol formation. Little guy hiding behind a big QB worked well.
September 2nd, 2012

That Michigan team in the Big 10 didn't look so great did it. I not so sure that conference is better than the ACC.
The ACC has gone through a horrible couple of years in football. But their is a couple of things different about the ACC than your other conferences. I think Bradley had them broken up and Clemson going one direction and FSU, Miami going another, didn't happen, in fact they added two teams. The ACC has fired a lot of coaches in the last few years and doesn't have the problems of some SEC teams in finding high level replacements. Top to bottom the ACC may have the best coaching in the country. We had some of the same problem the big leagues have had in Butch Davis which set the conference back with not putting a good North Carolina on the field, but FSU and Miami if the don't get suspension are back because they have great coaches.
Two things this crowd has, one is money and the other is a educated leadership. Sometimes doing this correctly takes time but we been around since the 50s. Don't count us out so quick, add to all this metro coverage in all the major east coast markets, we are pretty smart cookies.

You want to see defense that Alabama team plays defense, so does LSU.
Also I am not so sure Arkansas is out of it. I love watching those guys play football, the whole atmosphere. The ACC may never be like the SEC too academic, but that does not mean we don't love watching the better SEC teams and traditions when done right like so many do in the SEC. I was very proud as a southerner to see southern boys tear up the Big 10, I am equally proud of the ACC for being what it is. The south needs an ACC as much as it needs the SEC, maybe more.

A word from Wing Lei
At Wing Lei, rising star chef Ming Yu masterfully blends the flavors of China with Western technique to create a singularly delicious cuisine. Its just one delectable reason this is the only Chinese restaurant in the U.S. to have earned a coveted Michelin star. The seduction begins as you enter this exotic space, dressed in glimmering glass, tiger onyx, mother-of-pearl and gold accents. The décor, with its curved lines and rich gold accents, is meant to evoke the idea of 1930's Shanghai. Every inch of this restaurant has been meticulously planned and lovingly crafted, from the ultra-plush, deep tapestry chairs and to the gold-tipped black chopsticks that grace the table settings. Large picture windows look onto a charming outdoor garden, replete with two 100-year old pomegranate trees. Despite all of the grandeur, the haute Chinese menu remains the focus, with its luxurious mix of Cantonese, Shanghai and Sichuan specialties.Continued

When we arrived we reminded the hostess that we required gluten free options and that it was noted on our reservation. She smiled and assured us that they understood. We were seated and the server placed a regular menu on the table. When we asked for gluten free he pointed to the vegetarian options! Obviously he hadn't been alerted. He then went back and after much ado produced an allergen menu. The gluten free section had only a few items! We got up to leave and the hostess then said that there were more GF options but had great difficulty identifying them on the menu. We decided to walk and went to Lakeside for a lovely dinner.

- anniversary treatpastor4foodDined on 7/28/2014In the town where I live authentic asian/chinese food is hard to find. Las Vegas is rapidly becoming a food haven for celebrity chefs. Weig Lei is terrific example of this concept. The evening raised Asian to a new high point! The crispy pork belly and crab spring rolls were wonderful appetizers. A dish of scallops in black bean sauce with brussel sprouts was so full of flavor. The contrast perfectly baised scallops and the crisp vegetables with a professional presentation was tops. My husband had chicken thights dish with skin on - so crisp. His vegetable was mustard greens deliciously cooked and fresh! The most amazing was the signature fried rice - so light that it almost floated out of the bowl. Dessert a divine trio.Special Features:

- Overpriced Chinese foodsulmxVIPDined on 6/2/2014Waiters don't understand English correctly, so it is difficult to order. I made my reservation in open table, however they made us wait for 15 minutes even though they had a lot of empty tables and they were giving preference to other peopleSpecial Features:
- ExcellentWingedmarsupialDined on 6/1/2014Our dinner at Wing Lei was excellent. The restaurant was really busy when we arrived which is always a good sign. The wife and I both ordered the Peking duck tasting menu with the wine pairings, both were excellent. I would highly recommend the Wing Lei to anyone that's visiting Las Vegas.Special Features:
- The following 114 reviews are from the Wing Lei reviews archive.
- Beautiful atmosphere,delicious foodhappytarianDined on 5/25/2014As a vegetarian I find it difficult to eat inventive and high quality food in Las Vegas. The menu at Wing Lei should delight any person, vegetarian or not. The restaurant was renovated recently and is just beautiful. The touches of elegance can be observed everywhere, including the menu. The staff provided seamless service. A little touch we really liked was a beautiful tiny stool was provided so that our purses did not have to rest on the floor. The staff also seemed happy to be at work, which contributes to a comfortable and professional restaurant atmosphere. I would be pleased to take anyone to this restaurant with me because the food and overall experience was delightful.Special Features:
- True Peking DuckDinesoutalotVIPDined on 5/18/2014We had the Peking duck tasting menu. It was excellent except for the disappearance of the distinctive delicate skin of the duck. We were presented with a whole duck. The first course of 4 small slices of the excellently prepared breast and skin were carved tableside. The duck was then removed for the courses to follow. All that remaining skin disappeared somewhere as it was not found in the subsequent all duck courses. The wine pairing were great. Next time I will just order the Peking duck to insure we get all the skin. It is the skin which makes Peking duck an exceptional dish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Food and Gracious ServiceJNRADined on 5/14/2014Wonderful dining-- enjoyed the menu, wine and excellent service.The dining area is so lovely. Would suggest restaurant follow its dress code guidelines. Reservation specified business casual with collared or polo shirts for men. At a table near us there were men dining in tattered blue jeans and tacky t-shirts. They seemed truly out of place in such an elegant restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vegas FindsFLdinerDined on 5/9/2014Loved Wing Lei at the Wynn. Decor was beautiful; creams, golf & greens. Service was outstanding! Got a kick out of the tiny, little green chair shaped foot still they brought for the woman to put their purses on. If your looking for traditions Chinese, Cantonese dishes this is the place, food was awesome. Bit pricey, but worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/7/2014Very nice ambient and the food was great. The service was very nice too.Special Features:
- Wing LeiChandavklDined on 5/5/2014Wing Lei is probably the only Michelin starred Chinese restaurant in the western United States. Wonderful setting and great service, but the food is borderline awful. Unless food is secondary to you, save your money and go to Panda Express. Or if you insist on a pricey Chinese meal, head to Hakkasan.
- The Duck PlaceDuckmanDined on 4/28/2014We came for the Peking duck and weren't disappointed. Started with several appetizers. The shrimp toast was particularly good - very fresh taste and crispy. They carved the duck at table-side and served it on pancakes with with Hoisin sauce, cucumber and green onion - a traditional, but tasty compliment to the crispy skin and moist flesh. They took the duck carcass back to the kitchen, cleaned the rest of the meat from the bones, stir-fried it and served it minced in lettuce cups. This was good, but I would have preferred to just have the carcass deep-fried and then eat the remaining meat off the bones.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent place to dineHatchanDined on 4/26/2014It's our second visit. They've change the inside, beautiful! The service was great and the food was delicious. Pricey, but well worth your money. Highly recommend this place. Looking forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Fine Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/19/2014I choose this restaurant to celebrate my mother's birthday before going to see Le Reve (Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas). The food had very good flavor and was had a nice presentation. My mother, aunt and I were surprised when they brought over a little chair so we could place our purses. The level of service and details were beyond our expectation. Highly Recommend it if you enjoy Asian Cuisine in a fine dining setting.Special Features:
- Great food. Service not so great.BigveedoDined on 4/18/2014Was recommended wing lei's by a friend who always stays at the Encore. The ambiance was great. Food quality and taste was amazing. They definatley know how to make chinese food. On the other hand this is supposed to be the only michelen rated chinese restaraunt in vegas. The food supports that but not the service. We didnt receive the attention we expected from a michelen star. We had to call the waiter over a few times and they didnt make us feel like we were important. If you go to wing lei's go with a group of 6 or more. That way you can order a bunch of dishes and try all the food but dont expect to be treated like a star.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

John Kovach, a custodian with the Bethel Park School District for 36 years, began performing the Heimlich maneuver after Dylan Dowd began choking on a grape he swallowed whole, the story stated.
Tammy Dowd, Dylan''s mother, gave Kovach a restaurant gift card to thank him, but Kovach gracefully declined her gift, the story noted.
Tammy Dowd said: "We were very fortunate he was there. He is genuinely nice. We''re very thankful to Mr. John, he went way above and beyond. He said, ''Dylan is one of my kids and I would do it for any of my kids.''"
Still wanting to show their gratitude to the humble head custodian, the Dowds brought Kovach his favorite McDonald''s lunch and they all ate together in the school cafeteria, the story added.

But she overcame those hardships to graduate from a San Jose high school and enroll at the University of California's newest campus.
Now, Paredes is sharing her story of perseverance with Merced County school children. She's one of several UC Merced students who are part of Merced County Project 10%, an ambitious program aimed at improving high school graduation rates by 10 percent over the next five years.
The project puts university students in middle school classrooms to stress the importance of graduating from high school. Officials are looking for ways to measure whether the presentations are helping change middle school students' attitudes toward school.
A dozen UC Merced students now are involved in the project and more are being recruited.
"UC Merced has the perfect students to identify with Merced County's middle school students," Paredes said.
Project 10% is collaboration between UC Merced students and community leaders, including District Attorney Larry Morse and county Superintendent of Schools Steve Gomes.
It began to take shape last year after Paredes and fellow student Noel "Justin" Gomez returned from the Latino Leadership Initiative Program at Harvard University Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership.
Morse said high school dropouts make less money, are more likely to need public assistance and also comprise about 70 percent of the nation's prison population. Research indicates that a 10 percent increase in California's graduation rates would yield a 20 percent drop in murder and assaults, according to the anti-crime organization Fight Crime: Invest in Kids.
Armed with those statistics, he had been searching for the best way to reach middle school students. Morse connected with UC Merced students after an on-campus speech originally built around public policy and the relationship between the community and university.
But he quickly focused more attention on the Project 10% idea because so many students were in attendance. Morse knew they could help.
"We needed to find the right messenger," Morse said.
Now, the messengers are UC Merced students who often have conquered obstacles on the road to college.
"Simply by telling them your story, you are showing potential in what they can be," said UC Merced senior Maria Rodriguez, another member of the team.
"Sometimes as a kid, all I wanted was someone to tell me I could do it," Rodriguez said.
UC Merced students already have spoken at several Merced County schools. The 45-minute presentation includes personal stories, activities and discussion.
Paredes, a sociology major, shares her story of living in a low-income San Jose neighborhood touched by gangs and domestic violence. She overcame that environment and other challenges, and hopes youngsters can identify with her story.
"Maybe you are struggling, but we did too," Paredes said.
Rodriguez, of San Diego, tells students that she had problems at home and often coped by making poor choices. She fell in with the wrong crowd and was constantly in trouble at school.
But a teacher pushed her to follow her college dreams.
"That made me believe in myself," said Rodriguez, a political science major who is a first-generation college student.
Gomes, the superintendent of schools, said he's heard positive reviews of the program. UC Merced students are good role models for middle school students who might not picture themselves at a UC campus, he added.
"It's a good start, and it is a program that can have some impact," Gomes said.
Rodriguez thinks Project 10% could expand to other areas of the state and country. She said the program gives UC Merced students the chance to make a difference and helps strengthen the relationship between the campus and local community.
Project leaders want to reach more middle schools in the upcoming year.
"Hopefully, the students can see a reflection of themselves in us," Paredes said.

The Last Windrow: A Classic Last Windrow
The beauty of looking back over 30 years of columns is that you see historical items mentioned that one had long ago forgotten about. Life moves swiftly, change happens every day and what was true yesterday may not be true today.
I wrote the following "Classic Last Windrow" back in the year 2000. I wrote it in February when I had been too long indoors and cabin fever had evidently set in and I was watching fishing shows.

Many people need their coffee to get up and going in the morning, and especially in the middle of the afternoon when things are starting to drag. Here at Arrowhead Addict, we understand that for a Chiefs fan, coffee is simply not enough.
Here's all that's happening around Chiefs Kingdom today.
Welcome to The Fix.
–Addicts, if there's one Texans' player you have to know this week, it's first time starting quarterback Case Keenum. The former University of Houston standout will be playing in his first real NFL game this Sunday at Arrowhead. Head coach Andy Reid had this to say about Keenum, according to Reid Ferrin of KCChiefs.com:
"We know he had a good preseason," coach Reid said. "We also know that he was a heck of a player in college. He's an active player and has a lot of arm and real phenomenal numbers in college. He's a smart kid. I kind of liked him. I thought he was a good player and I know John Dorsey liked him. It doesn't surprise me at all that he's having a chance to play. That was no surprise at all."
Wideout Donnie Avery also talked about Keenum, who he played with at the University of Houston (Ferrin):
"First off, he's a great guy," Avery said of Keenum. "I'm excited for him, getting this opportunity. He's very agile and calm under pressure; we have to get after him."
–Speaking of Avery and Keenum, who work out together in the offseason, according to Randy Covitz of The Kansas City Star, here are a few more of his thoughts on the Texans' quarterback:
"He was pretty good," Avery said of Keenum, who is still ranked as college football's most prolific passer, setting NCAA records for career yardage (19,217) and touchdowns (155). "He's a good athlete, very smart, very agile."
"You know what, I'm telling you, I don't know where his perception is, but this is a phenomenal guy. He's all in. He's all about the team. Wherever we put him, wherever he can help win games, that's where he wants to be. He knows that teams respect him and cover him. He can do everything. He can play the deep game, you saw that Sunday. He can play the underneath game. It's a matter of getting him singled up, where they're not putting an extra guy to him."

Awesome sciencey thing to think about: Smart, evolved space dinosaurs
The idea that there could be an Earth-like planet out there somewhere, on which life evolved much like Earth, but never experienced the cataclysmic extinction event that brought the downfall of dinosaurs and the rise of the mammals, isn't a new idea in science fiction, but it is interesting to see such speculation in scientific journals.
The Journal of the American Chemistry Society sent out a press release on just this very subject the other day, which I should point out is highly speculative and is in no way saying that anyone's discovered an exoplanet filled with giant dinosaurs with laser guns strapped to their heads, living in giant dinosaur high rises.
The opening of the press release reads:
New scientific research raises the possibility that advanced versions of T. rex and other dinosaurs - monstrous creatures with the intelligence and cunning of humans - may be the life forms that evolved on other planets in the universe. "We would be better off not meeting them," concludes the study, which appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
In fact, the majority of "Evidence for the Likely Origin of Homochirality in Amino Acids, Sugars, and Nucleosides on Prebiotic Earth," written by Dr. Ronald Breslow, concerns itself not with hostile aliens at all, but, rather, with the shape ("orientation") of molecules that form the building blocks of life, like amino acids, sugars, and the genetic materials DNA and RNA.
Science time: These molecules can exist in one of two orientations that mirror one another in the same way left and right hands do. With the exception of a few bacteria, amino acids in all of life on Earth are oriented to the left. Most sugars are oriented to the right. These constraints of shape were crucial to the development of life, as we know it, on Earth, but it is unknown why they developed this way. Breslow's theory involves meteorites. Nerd stuff.
The spaceosaur twist comes at the paper's conclusion, when Dr. Breslow speculates that there might, in fact, be life forms that developed (on other, far-flung planets) from right-oriented amino acids and left-oriented sugars – in other words, life originating from terrestrial molecules shaped in the opposite way of Earth's.
This is where things get crazy. This is where the American Chemical Society press team ran wild.
"Such life forms could well be advanced versions of dinosaurs, if mammals did not have the good fortune to have the dinosaurs wiped out by an asteroidal collision, as on Earth. We would be better off not meeting them."

Adams Hammered Copper Symphonic Timpani Concert DrumsAdams Hammered Copper Symphonic TimpaniThe Symphonic Series of timpanis by Pearl provide arousing stimulation not only for the ears and the mind, but also for the eyes.These timpanis are some of the finest constructed anywhere in the world. They feature hammered copper bowls which allows there to be an increase in the frequency range of each drum. This, in turn, provides a clear, pure tone. The kettle of the instrument is suspended by means of a strong and firm, contoured steel ring to maintain roundness and ensure stability during transport. One of the most import parts of any timpani is the head. This series of timpanis utilizes Remo Renaissance Timpani heads with insert rings standard on all drums. Further emphasizing the ease with this unit can be transported, one must document that each instrument has three wheels, two at the rear and one on the player's side to make moving, turning, and rotating simple. It ia also important to know how your timpani will work. This one in particular uses a pedal system that works by means of a block system which allows the pitch of the drum to be altered without affecting the pedal action. One more notice is that this piece has an adjustable timpani angle which gives it the ability to be placed in a slanted playing position. These instruments are truly high class even though they are only half as expensive as other timpani models. Don't wait any longer. Place your order today!
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

HARRISONBURG, Va. -- Gov. Bob McDonnell is proposing to eliminate the gas tax.
For some drivers, like Edward Morgret that's good news. He's from West Virginia, but he lives close to Virginia. That's where he gets his gas.
"It's cheaper already, but it would benefit me even more if I can get gas cheaper," said Morgret.
Instead of paying gas tax, people will pay extra in sales tax. The proposal would increase sales tax from 5 percent to 5.8 percent.
Morgret said West Virginia sales tax is higher than that.
"It's not gonna raise the purchase of items that much."
The new tax would mean a receipt totaling $73 without taxes is $76.65 with the 5 percent sale tax. If the sales tax increased to 5.8 percent, you would pay $77.24.
Robert Alderman, who drives a truck, said he wouldn't mind paying more sales tax, but under Gov. McDonnell's proposal, trucks would still have to pay the 17.5 percent gas tax.
"I'm basically getting worked over two ways," said Alderman, "Basically when I have to put fuel in the truck and basically when I go buy out something. I don't see that being too fair."
A member of McDonnell's staff said most trucks that drive on Virginia highways are not from the area. He said those drivers should pay a higher tax because they damage roads.
Alderman said the proposal singles out one group.
"If it's one of those things where I might do it here but then other group of people don't have to worry paying an extra tax on something. I feel like I'm getting kinda screwed."
Political Science Professor Bob Roberts said the General Assembly would have to approve the measure for it to get passed. He said there's a lot of opposition, but there are also parts of northern Virginia, which are struggling without transportation money.

United Way Celebrates 2013 Campaign, Announces New Campaign Chairs and Board Members
The United Way of Oxford, Ohio and Vicinity (UWO) celebrated the progress of the 2013 Campaign at their annual meeting at The Knolls of Oxford on Tuesday. The organization officially announced the campaign is currently projected to reach at least $250,000, a milestone for the organization, although short of their $255,000 goal. The contributions made over the past year will benefit 18 agencies sponsoring 25 programs. Two initiatives—which include the Talawanda School Supply Initiative and Butler County 211 Services—will also benefit from the proceeds of the 2013 United Way Campaign. Agency representatives were on hand to receive their grant awards on Tuesday evening.
"I am so excited that we were able to reach this milestone during my first year on the job," stated Executive Director Brian Revalee. "We raised one-quarter of one million dollars to be used right here in our community. That is something to be celebrated." Revalee also reported that more than 20,000 individuals benefit annually from contributions made by the United Way of Oxford to organizations that provide assistance and support to residents of the Talawanda School District.
The event at the Knolls was not all fun and games, as the business of electing two new board members to replace outgoing board members Bernie Bubnis and Jerome Conley was conducted. The United Way membership voted to elect Chris Adryan and Jim Lipnickey to serve a three-year term on the United Way of Oxford, Ohio and Vicinity Board of Directors. Ann Whelpton was elected as Board President with Sherry Schilling being elected to serve as Vice President. Karen Baker will continue to act as the Treasurer/Secretary of the Board, as she was elected for a second, one-year term.
In her first order of business, Whelpton announced the 2014 UWO Campaign Chairs as the meeting wrapped up Tuesday evening:
Community Campaign Chairs: Coe and Alyce Potter
The UWO will continue to accept contributions toward the 2013 Campaign through May 31. To make a pledge of support or donation to the 2013 Campaign, please contact the United Way office at (513) 523-0991 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Switzer, Kathrine.
Adult Nonfiction GV1065 .S85 2006
Summary: 26.2: Marathon Stories by Katherine Switzer and Roger Robinson is an unprecedented visual and literary tour of the marathon throughout history The marathon is the most popular independent athletic event in the world, with over a million people set to enter one this year and another 50 million cheering them on from the sidelines. This glorious volume is the first book to set the marathon on the large world stage and examine the historic and universal appeal of this ultimate individual challenge. Hundreds of powerful images by such renowned photographers as Helmut Newton and Susan Meiselas, along with personal reminiscences from many well-known marathoners, capture the endless hours of practice and the overwhelming rush of emotion at crossing the finish line. Examining the marathon through the lenses of history, philosophy, sociology, athletics, pop culture, fashion, and science, the book salutes the determination and courage of those who willingly push themselves to test their personal best.

Worksite Survey: Lily Herwald, contract evaluator, Nancy Eagan, CTG Data Manager and Clara Gray, Health Systems Specialist have completed a phone survey of Southeast Alaska worksites that assesses current worksite health policies. The survey asks about tobacco, breastfeeding, physical activity and nutrition policies at regional worksites that have 100+ employees. This snapshot will be compared to another survey planned for 2015-16.
Fish to Schools (F2S) evaluation: Lily Herwald is working closely with Sitka Conservation Society to evaluate outputs if the F2S effort as well as student preferences and attitudes about local fish consumption. This initiative was encouraged by CTG staff at the CDC to submit an abstract for presenting findings at this fall's APHA (American Public Health Association) meeting in Boston. We submitted the abstract last week.
Digital Stories training was conducted in August 2012 and produced some very nice narratives on Fish to Schools as well as health and wellness efforts from the perspective of a beneficiary in Craig, AK. We have purchased equipment and plan to partner with SEARHC Health Promotion and do more trainings in the region.
Core Measures: CTG is required to support BRFSS surveys in SE Alaska in 2014 and 2016.
Publications: We are required to produce seven publications in the program period (2011-2016) that include peer-reviewed journal articles. Thus far, SEARHC has published one item, the BRFSS Executive Summary, and has two more currently in progress that will be completed this FY.
Cost Study: SEARHC is voluntarily participating in a special, cost study, effort. This involves entering all cost data into a separate database so that CDC can track the cost of doing public health in Southeast Alaska. We took this on because there is a dearth of data on this subject. It serves SEARHC and others in our state to communicate realistic costs to CDC.
Media/Communication Plan: CTG has a communication plan and is in the process of hiring a media coordinator on contract to implement the plan. We also intend to ask this contractor to concurrently develop a SEARHC health promotion social marketing plan that serves the needs of over-arching disease and injury prevention messaging in the region.
Capacity Building of other CTG programs: SEARHC hosted a group from the Toiyabe Indian Health Services to show them some of our CTG projects and assist with their capacity building. We have also been asked to speak at a Minneapolis training for tribal groups in May 2013.
