Colorado State running back Dee Hart, who ran for 139 yards and two touchdowns in his first game for the Rams Friday night, Monday was named Mountain West Conference offensive player of the week and senior kicker Jared Roberts was named special teams player of the week.
Hart's 139 rushing yards equaled the top mark for a CSU running back in his first game. Ron Harris ran for 139 on Sept. 14, 1974 at New Mexico.
"I think he'll be the first to tell you, our team players of the week were the offensive line," said CSU coach Jim McElwain. "He was the recipient of some great work up front. As you guys know, we lost some really good running backs from a year ago (Kapri Bibbs and Donnell Alexander) and I thought both Dee and Treyous (Jarrells) stepped up and played how we expected them to play. That's a great honor and believe me, I'm happy as heck for Dee and really that offensive line."
Colorado State unleashed its 1-2 combination of transfer running backs against Colorado Friday night.

As you can tell from the story, CSU Jim McElwain — to his credit — was flexible enough with his media policy to allow us to speak with Hart and Jarrells, both first-year players in the program, after their big games.
My story on how Colorado State coach Jim McElwain is trying to upgrade the Rams' talent while not only living with, but embracing the heartiest survivors of Steve Fairchild's final recruiting classes, is in the Thursday paper as part of our ongoing preview of Friday night's Rocky Mountain Showdown.
A chart with the story lists the 15 projected Rams starters who played for Fairchild in 2011 or redshirted that season. In other words, McElwain didn't bring them in, but he's done the smart thing while the roster turns over and goes through other attrition. The roster is about 80 percent turned over since Fairchild left, but the hard core of those who were pre-McElwain — and now are redshirt juniors, redshirt seniors and seniors — remain.
Here's the chart that ran with the story: Read more…
FORT COLLINS — Colorado State coach Jim McElwain Friday said that the Rams' worst fears about senior tackle Mason Hathaway have been confirmed: Hathaway's knee injury is considered season-ending, and he soon will undergo surgery.
McElwain said that Hathaway will continue to be involved with the program this fall.
"That's something we've talked about, and he really wants to be a part of this," McElwain said.
Hathaway was expected to start at right tackle for the Rams in 2014 after biding his time through a redshirt year and three seasons as a backup. Because transfer Jordan Finley also has a knee injury and isn't expected to be ready until perhaps October, the projected starter at right tackle now is redshirt junior Sam Carlson from Wellington and Fort Collins' Poudre High.
Colorado State's Monday night scrimmage at Hughes Stadium was closed, but the Rams released statistics afterwards that showed that JC transfer Treyous Jarrells was the top ground gainer, with 46 yards on seven carries, with a long run of 15 yards.
The other contenders for the No. 1 running back spot didn't get as much work, with Alabama transfer Dee Hart gaining 18 yards on three carries and Jasen Oden Jr., the converted defensive back listed at the top of the media guide depth chart going into preseason practices, with five rushes for 15 yards.
Garrett Grayson was 19-for-25 passing, for 188 yards and two touchdowns. But the other three quarterbacks also were impressive statistically. True freshman Coleman Key was 10-12, for 138 yards and two TDS; redshirt freshman Nick Stevens was 11-18, for 125 yards; and redshirt sophomore Craig Leonard was 4-5, for 51 yards.
The NCAA board Thursday approved virtual autonomy for the five "power" conferences, allowing them to set their own rules.
There could be ramifications for programs outside the power five, and that includes Colorado State and other schools in the Mountain West Conference.
Those modifications likely will include "cost of attendance" stipends, over and above scholarships.
"A kid might go to some lower end Big Five because of the money, which I can't blame them," Colorado State coach Jim McElwain said Thursday. Read more…
FORT COLLINS — When I asked Jim McElwain Tuesday about the leadership role of senior tackle Ty Sambrailo as the only returning offensive line starter, the Colorado State coach brought up a classic sitcom.
No, not "Seinfeld."
Not "Cheers" or "Friends."
Not the "Dick Van Dyke Show."
Not even one of those series I've never heard of until I see the boxed set for the ninth season at Best Buy.
He brought up … "The Partridge Family."
Colorado State running back Dee Hart, newly arrived after transferring from Alabama, was made available to the media after practice Monday and handled himself well. It was a savvy move for CSU, since it removed some of the mystery.
But Hart was not on the list released Tuesday of 49 players who, in CSU's words, "are available to the media during Colorado State's player availability times." So at least for now, it's apparent that Hart's availability was a one-time exception to Jim McElwain's policy of keeping first-year players in the program off-limits to the media. That was most noticeable last season, when Kapri Bibbs had a spectacular season and wasn't made available to the media because, as a redshirt sophomore, he was in his first season with the Rams.
FORT COLLINS — My story about running back Dee Hart's arrival and on-field work with the Colorado State Rams at Monday's first pre-season practice will be online shortly. It includes extensive comments from Hart himself because CSU coach Jim McElwain made an exception to his usual policy of not allowing players in their first year in the program to speak to the media.
Here are additional McElwain comments about Hart. Read more…
Consider this an open letter to the Colorado State University constituency.
I've written a lot on CSU football and indeed many other Rams' athletic programs, both men's and women's, during my two stints in various roles at The Denver Post. During my hiatus, I even did a major piece on Sonny Lubick's revival of the program when I was with The Sporting News.
Also, in books and in the paper, I've written about CSU's World War II heroes, including Bus Bergman, Dude Dent, John Mosley of the Tuskegee Airmen, and Perry Blach. Former CSU student body president and football star Glenn Morris, who won the 1936 Olympic decathlon in Berlin and was perhaps the second-most celebrated athlete in the U.S. in the wake of the Games, is one of the title figures in my fact-based novel, Olympic Affair: Hitler's Siren and America's Hero.
So this isn't a cold introduction.
I didn't need a GPS to get to Fort Collins and I already knew where to stop for a cinnamon roll, either way.
This is a first, though: In the reconfigured sports department this fall, I will be the lead beat writer for CSU football and CSU sports, rather than what I was in the past — a generalist dropping in when needed to help out the beat writer, and also when the mood strikes me to write a feature or a column.
I'm looking forward to it.
FORT COLLINS — Colorado State opens fall camp practices Monday, and Jim McElwain held his pre-camp news briefing Thursday morning. The biggest news with the program, though, was something McElwain couldn't discuss — the imminent addition of former Alabama running back Dee Hart, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Hart Wednesday confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel that he is transferring to CSU for this season and said he was about to leave for Fort Collins.
Speaking with reporters that cover the Mountain West during the conference's recent football media-day activities in Las Vegas, Colorado State coach Jim McElwain was asked about Craig Bohl taking over Wyoming's program.
Bohl, 56, coached North Dakota State to the past three FCS national championships and compiled an overall record of 104-32 in ll seasons there. Prior to his time at NDSU, Bohl was the linebackers coach (1995-1999), then the defensive coordinator (2000-2002) at Nebraska.
A popular topic during Colorado State's interviews at the recent Mountain West football media days was asking the Rams if there is any carryover from their come-from-behind victory over Washington State last December at the New Mexico Bowl.
"Our team got a taste of (bowl season) last year and we're all hungry and have momentum to do it again," CSU senior linebacker Aaron Davis said.
"It's good to be able to show the young guys coming in that the end result is wins if we prepare," Davis added. "When they get homesick and tired, we can tell them that it will all be worth it at the end. We want to have that feeling again that we had at the end of last season."
Said CSU coach Jim McElwain: "You hope after (the bowl victory), guys ill want to feast at the buffet table again. I'm not sure we'll be able to measure (the effects of that postseason win) in the short term. I'll be curious five, six, seven, eight years down the road to see because that could be a turning point in a program's development. I don't know if it will be or not."
Here's a cut-and-paste of the news release from CSU:
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Single-game tickets to all of Colorado State's home football games and the Rocky Mountain Showdown went on sale to the general public Tuesday at 10 a.m. Fans can purchase online at CSURams.com/tickets, the Ram Zone bookstore, which is located at 172 N. College Ave., or by calling (970) 491-7267.
Rocky Mountain Showdown individual tickets
Tickets for the Rams' season opener at Sports Authority Field at Mile High against in-state rival Colorado on Friday, Aug. 29, start as low as $25. Club and suite seating is also available, with club seats for the 86th renewal of the longstanding rivalry selling for $110.
The Colorado State football program learned this week that two defensive players, sophomore linebacker Kevin Davis and freshman defensive lineman Josh Lovingood, were granted medical hardships by the Mountain West Conference and will recover a year of eligibility after injuries limited their availability in 2013.
Lovingood, from Fresno, Calif., played in three games last fall as a true freshman before suffering a season-ending foot injury that required surgery. The ruling means Lovingood will have four years to play four seasons, beginning in 2014.
Davis, a former Parade All-American at Fountain-Fort Carson High School, played in four games in 2013 but reinjured a knee. As a true freshman in 2012, Davis played in eight games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Because of the hardship ruling, he will have three years to play three seasons.
"That (hardship ruling) gives us a boost for their future and ours, knowing they have another year," CSU coach Jim McElwain told the Loveland Reporter-Herald.
Colorado State junior Trent Matthews, a returning starter at safety, said he always expects the unexpected during spring games.
The annual "Green and Gold" spring game has an 11 a.m. Saturday kickoff in Hughes Stadium. Other activities include a free 9 a.m. pancake breakfast and a 10 a.m. children's egg hunt.
Jack Miller, a 9-year-old cancer patient who has been an inspiration to the Colorado State football team, will be honored with his own Upper Deck sports card, the trading card company announced.
Here's the news release, including quotes from Jack's mother, Jody Miller, and CSU football coach Jim McElwain.
Upper Deck has joined forces with the Friends of Jaclyn charity to shine a light on some of the incredible children who have been the inspiration for collegiate teams throughout the nation by creating trading cards of them with their respective teams. Upper Deck is excited to announce the first trading card from a member of the charity will be of Jack Miller, a 9-year-old who has been battling brain tumors over the past six years. Jack has been "adopted" by the Colorado State Rams Football team and his 2014 Upper Deck "Star Rookie" cards will be available through the Friends of Jaclyn charity.
Additionally Upper Deck will be hosting an in store appearance with Jack at Mike's Stadium Sportscards in Aurora, Colorado on Sunday, April 27 from 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. Jack will be signing autographed versions of his trading cards and posing for photos with fans for donations to the charity. Additionally, Mike Fruitman, the owner of Mike's Stadium Sportscards, will be presenting Jack with a special gift on behalf of both Upper Deck and the Colorado State Rams Football team.
Yes, it has been a while.
Nine years, in fact, since CSU football had one of its Mountain West games on ESPN or ESPN2.
On Thursday, the Mountain West released its schedule of nationally televised football games for the 2014 season and it includes Colorado State's Sept. 6 conference opener at Boise State on ESPN2. Kickoff will be 8:15 p.m. in Boise.
Also announced: Two CSU home games will be televised nationally: Oct. 18 vs. Utah State at 5 p.m. on CBS Sports Network and Nov. 8 vs. Hawaii on one of the ESPN family of networks, with the kickoff to be announced at a later date.
Also on Thursday, the MW announced that Colorado State's road games Oct. 11 at Nevada (8:30 p.m.) and Nov. 1 at San Jose State (5 p.m.) will be televised on CBS Sports Network.
FORT COLLINS — Colorado State's only returning starter along the offensive line, senior left tackle Ty Sambrailo, will watch Saturday's spring game (11 a.m. in Hughes Stadium) from the sideline.
Considered an NFL prospect, Sambrailo (6-foot-5 and 310 pounds) underwent offseason shoulder surgery and has been held out of contact drills during the spring. Sambrailo, a second-team all-Mountain West selection in 2013, is expected to be full-go for August camp.
CSU coach Jim McElwain said Sambrailo has taken on a coaching role of sorts, giving tips to other offensive tackles during the spring.
McElwain said that also has helped Sambrailo's understanding of the position and the game.
"It's really good for him," McElwain said. "Now all of a sudden, you're the guy needing to explain the skill that it takes and the step that it takes. That only reinforces your own play and your own behavior. Him being a teach has become really valuable for those tackles."

With the roll over/down of current Valor Points into Justice, will the Valor Point items also be dropped down to be purchased with Justice Points? Or, are those people who can't accrue enough VP now simply out of luck all around?
There is a middle group of players (i.e. not hardcore, but not overtly casual) that will never obtain the "VP" tier of items because they have too many JP and have already acquaried those items, but not enough VP to buy a single piece. Once the few VP they have downgrade, they will be stuck with an abundance of useless currency and still not enough to buy the next tier.
Is there a resolution for this; other than "go raid more?"
If I remember correctly, Valor points are used for the "top end" gear for whatever is current tier. Justice points are used for all other gear. Think of it like emblems of Frost vs emblems of Triumph at the end of Wrath, if that helps. Whenever a new tier rolls out - T12 in 4.1- all existing Valor gear should be "downgraded" to Justice gear, much like your Valor points will be downgraded to Justice points like Alex mentions in his answer to today's first question.
From my understanding, when 4.1 hits, everything that currently costs VP to buy will now cost JP, and all of your current VP with turn into JP, adding on top of what JP you already have.
So if you cap out on JP right before 4.1, methinks you could have like up to 6000 JP and get 2-3 tier pieces and then maybe have enough gear to raid, since you said you couldn't. However, I don't know about the helms and shoulders, but it would be really stupid to make you still get tokens for those so presumably those will also cost JP after 4.1.
@The Blog
I don't mind raiding for tokens to acquire the final pieces of T11. I think that is a valid path to gear. I just didn't want to see a hole created for those in between hardcore and casual.
While I'm easily into 5-man Heroics, I have yet to raid in this expansion yet. I have both VP and JP, but JP is nearly useless to me at this point. But, I don't have enough VP to really buy upgrades to my heroic/crafted items. I am concerned that T11 would still be out of reach after currency dropped.
But, it seems my worries are abated. If current VP items drop to the lower-tier of currency, it isn't a problem.
I don't mind holding out for raiding to get the head and shoulders.

As was stated by Blizzard since before Cata, the gear will be available for justice points. Not sure if they stated if the pricing will be similar.

Buford – The Falcons' seven-on-seven practice on Tuesday was the most spirited one in weeks.
Perhaps, it was the first appearance of Pro Bowl wide receiver Roddy White or it may have been the news that the NFL Lockout could be coming to a close in two weeks, according to the Washington Post.
"Hopefully, they can get it done," Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said. "I've seen kind of the same reports that everybody else has seen. Like I've said all along, I've got good faith in both sides that we'll come to an agreement and be able to get this worked out so that we can get back to work."
Ryan and the rest of the Falcons hope that a deal is reached by early July, which would give them time to get ready for the normal start of training camp. The Falcons reported for training camp on July 29 last season.
Also, an early July settlement would

If you go to Lao Tzu and you say that somebody is a thief, he says, "So what! Somebody is a thief. Let it be so." Lao Tzu is unworried about reality. If somebody is mad. Lao Tzu will say, "So what! Let it be so. If that's how the whole wills it then that is how it has to be. Who are you? Who has given you the authority to change anything, to transform it? Leave reality to itself and everything goes beautifully, rhythmically. Interfere, and everything is disturbed."
You have heard about the non-violence of Mahavira, you have heard about the non-violence of Buddha, but they are nothing compared to Lao Tzu. In their non-violence there is a subtle violence still: the violence of interference. The good has to be brought in, the bad has to be destroyed; the immoral has to be changed into moral, the wrong has to be put right. They are still not in wu-wei, non-interference. The violent person is trying to change reality violently, the non-violent person is trying to change reality non-violently, but both are trying to change reality. And to change is to be violent. To accept things as they are, to accept with no mind at all - that is the Tao understanding.
If you have a mind you cannot accept. You will judge, you will compare; you will say that this should not be so, it has not to be so; you will say that this can be improved, this can be changed and made better.
The very idea that the world can be made better is the very root of all ego trips. The world is perfect; there is no way to make it better. If you try to make it better, you will make it worse. Things are in perfect rhythm nothing is bad, nothing is good. The good and the bad are man-created concepts. Nothing is right, nothing is wrong - those are our conceptions. Reality simply is neutral, neither good nor bad, neither beautiful nor ugly. It simply is. This "isness" is Tao.
Now, enter this parable. We will go into it very slowly. Taste it step by step - it can become a revelation.

Every child is born clever. No child is ever born idiotic. To become an idiot one needs to be educated. To convert people to idiocy, schools and colleges and universities are needed. It is a great achievement. Idiocy is not natural; it has to be learned, it has to be earned. Great effort has to be made before you can become stupid. A Buddha or a Lao Tzu or a Jesus are people who somehow escaped from society, who somehow managed it that society did not change them into stupid people. They look rare because the whole society has become stupid otherwise they would be the norm. It be natural to be clever, intelligent - as natural as breathing, as natural as health.
Watch a child, any child, black, white, Indian, Chinese, German - yes, even German! Watch any child. All children are intelligent and all children are beautiful. Have you ever seen an ugly child? The phenomenon does not exist at all. Have you ever seen a stupid child? Their intelligence is tremendous.

TERI in the News
Bangalore needs smart waste management systems17 September 2014| Deccan Herald
In the run-up to the 15th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit scheduled for February, experts from diverse backgrounds deliberated on smart and sustainable solutions for Bangalore to make it a 'smart city'. As a prelude to the global event, a series of regional dialogues are being organised, first of which was held on 16 September 2014. The regional dialogue focused on themes like Smart Solutions for Sustainable Cities: Planning, Implementing and Building Capacity, and Clean and Smart Technologies. Experts agreed Bangalore is in dire need of smart waste management systems, access to clean water and energy, and regulatory mechanisms to check the worsening air quality. A highlight of the event was the webcast done with Dr R K Pachauri, Director-General, TERI, and the participants and experts.
DDA to design layout plan for green buildings17 September 2014| The Hindu
Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung has directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to chart the draft regulations and layout plan for green buildings as proposed in the Master Plan, 2021. Various incentives like property tax rebate, increased floor area ratio are also being considered for such constructions. A meeting was held in this regard where DDA officials, all local bodies and departments concerned of the Delhi Government were present. A presentation was made by TERI, highlighting provisions related to Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA), and policies adopted by other state governments and local bodies.
Climate change cause of floods? Not quite15 September 2014| The Telegraph
Neither the prolonged floods in Kashmir this year nor the flashfloods that ravaged Uttarakhand last year can be directly attributed to climate change, Dr R K Pachauri, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Director-General of TERI, said. Dr Pachauri said climate change research seeks to capture long-term trends and available observations suggest that extreme events will rise in numbers in the coming years. India will need to accelerate efforts to adapt to such events, he said while speaking at a seminar on climate change organised by the UN Information Centre. Dr Pachauri said states should commission rigorous research studies to identify vulnerable zones, prepare local populations for possible impacts of extreme weather events. TERI has, for instance, already prepared vulnerability reports for Bengal and Maharashtra, he said.
A connect with local rating systems13 September 2014| The Hindu
According to architect Sathya Prakash Varanashi, TERI\'s GRIHA rating considers many local issues, besides critical ideas like embodied energy, minimal ozone depleting materials, adapting efficient construction technology and accepting non-air conditioned buildings. GRIHA has 34 criteria listed under varied sub-headings such as site selection and planning, building envelope design, building system design, selection of ecologically sustainable materials, integration of renewable energy, indoor environmental quality, conservation and efficient utilisation of resources, building maintenance and innovation points. There also are provisions for large developments, prequalification and such others.
Ban to stay on 'prohibited' e-ricks10 September 2014| The Times of India
Dashing the Centre's hope to legalize e-rickshaws in Delhi, the high court ruled that the ban on these vehicles would continue. Citing a report by TERI, which had been roped in by the Delhi government to conduct a study of e-rickshaws, the high court noted how "the e-rickshaws tested did not meet criteria for exemption under the CMV Rules" and "the components and processes used in the manufacturing of e-rickshaws are not standardized". Observing the TERI report, the bench added, "Unregulated growth of e-rickshaws in such huge numbers raises concerns related to the safety and security of the passengers? It is strongly felt that e-rickshaws should be regulated to ensure safety and security of passengers".
Documentation of community conservation areas8 September 2014| Eastern Mirror
Taking serious note of the absence of documentation of community conserved areas in the biodiversity-rich state of Nagaland, the state forest department has stepped up its efforts to address the matter and has recently assigned the responsibility to TERI. The TERI expert team will be assisting the department in preparing inventory and documentation of Community Conserved Areas in the state and set up a baseline data for about 1300 villages who are conserving their forest resources using traditional knowledge and practices. In connection with this, a day-long state level training workshop for forest personnel, conservators, district forest officials and forest rangers was held at the PCCF Office Conference Hall, Kohima.
Waive taxes to promote cycle ownership: TERI27 August 2014| Business Standard
The government should waive taxes on cycles that cost less than Rs 5000 to promote cycle-ownership in the country, a new study by TERI in association with the All India Cycle Manufacturers Association said. Stressing on the importance of cycling as a mode of transport, the report, titled \"Pedalling towards a greener India: A report on promoting cycling in the country\", said the government must come up with a policy mechanism for the cycling industry to make it globally competitive. The report called for initiating a technology-support scheme.
India: Supreme Court rules coal mining licences since 1993 illegal26 August 2014| International Business Times
The Supreme Court has held as illegal coal mining licences awarded to various firms between 1993 and 2009 and will now examine whether some or all 218 licences should be cancelled. Firms that bagged licences after 2004 but failed to develop mines could be fined heavily and could lose their licences, Mr Nitya Nanda, Fellow, TERI, said. The uncertainty that surrounded coal block allocation will end. The government could come up with comprehensive guidelines governing allocation, or could award mining licences through the competitive-bidding route. Putting in place a reallocation process could take a few months, observed Mr Nanda said.
Beware Go Green23 August 2014| The Times of India
Homebuyers interested in eco-friendly housing must ensure that competent authorities - like GRIHA - have certified the project they are buying into as 'green building', as there are any number of projects flaunting green credentials without following 'green norms'. To ensure that a genuinely 'green' residential project is not mistaken for one of the many wannabes, it is important for their developer to obtain accreditation from the green rating systems followed in India. GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) is one such system which verifies whether a building has adhered to all prescribed parameters, and that the required materials and processes have been used at every stage of construction.
Foundation Day Lecture reveals more evidence of climate change with Sun's atmospherics21 August 2014| India Education Diary
In about three billion years, the outer atmosphere of the Sun will begin to swell so much that our own atmosphere will heat up. Eventually the Sun's outer layers will envelop Mercury, Venus and probably our planet as well, said Dr Siraj Hasan, Distinguished Professor and Former Director of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics. He was delivering the Thirteenth Darbari Seth Memorial Lecture, organized by TERI. Delivering the presidential address, Dr Najma Heptulla, Hon'ble Minister of Minority Affairs, said Mr Darbari Seth worked on several key issues such as energy security and modern technologies, which are even more relevant today.
