Hey, so I decided that after a long thought I would post my story on here! Yay, okay don't get too excited k? Anyway, I don't own the twilight characters in here but I do own the other ones so if you would like to use one of them, message me and we will talk! So here we go! I'm so excited!
Chapter 1: Never Wanted Any of This
Yea. I never wanted this life, this body, this soul, this father, these painful reminders. It feels like the only person who truly cares is my seventeen year old brother, Damien. He actually, truly loves me so whenever he sees the painful events, he does try to stop them. But I can't let Damien get hurt anymore. Every time he butts in or tries to stop my father from my 'punishments',he ends up hurting himself plus me even more. I talk to him afterwards and tell him that I'm okay, but he knows that I'm lying. He says the same thing each time. "You can't lie to me anymore Katrina! You just ...can't... I can tell your hurting with that look in your eyes and that fake smile on your face! The way he hurts you just makes me sick." He spits into the grass. " When its my birthday, I promise you that we will runaway from this hell hole..." Damien pauses to look at me. " I promise you we will get away from him. He won't be able to hurt you anymore." I couldn't help but think why Damien doesn't have a girlfriend. Any girl would be lucky to have him as a lover, a protector. That must come from our father though.

I am VERYYY Sorry for how long ago I have updated.... I've been on vacation and also been working on this story so I thought I would take a break for a week... A week then turned out to be three weeks so then now I'm panicking because I feel I lost all my readers thanks to me and uugggghhhh... I'm just being my unusual self right now but please carry on to the story!
Also, Jacob shows up yay! Again, I don't own Twilight or the characters in them (though I wish I did ;P) BUT I do have rights for MY characters that I added so if you want to use them, just ask... That's all I'm sayin ;)
Chapter 6: The Alternate Earth
(Jacob's POV)
It's been a week since my last encounter with Damien. Ever since then, he has been AWOL. I told Sam about his wereabouts and how he's in La Push but he said not to worry, which is strange for him. He said that he'll show up again when he chooses too. I later on found out that Damien is staying at Emily's house with his sister. Her house of all places... Why them? She could of shown hospitality to anyone but she chose the enemy tribe members.
Aww, shut up already, Jacob! We don't need you to relive your sad, miserable life in Our heads too...It's starting to give me a headache! (Leah)
Yea, Jake! Knock it off... We know what's going on already so you don't need to repeat yourself everytime you phase! (Paul)
Uumm, Jake... I kinda agree with them. You do go on about this stuff WAY too much. Sam's fine and they haven't pulled anything yet but you just need to trust them a little at least. Sam wouldn't have let danger into his home if he knew it would hurt Emily... They always say, 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.' Seth chuckled.
Hey now... I don't get into your heads at all if you guys are overly-thinking your brai--- (Jake)
ENOUGH! They aren't the enemies here and you need to see that through your thick skulls. Now stop bickering like lost puppies and get your asses over at my house. We need to have a chat with the two Makah. Sam howled to alert the others who weren't phased.
I sauntered over towards Sam's house since it was a quarter mile away, when Leah zoomed past me, laughing. I mentally rolled my eyes at her and kept walking. By the time I got there, almost everyone was in the house. The ones who weren't there was Seth, Collin, and Brady but they were taking my flank.
We all stopped and phased, heading towards the small, yet homy dining room where everyone was waiting for the food to be served. Emily made us sit in assigned seats where Sam and Damien were at the ends of the table. Damien's sister, Collin, and Brady were on Damien's right and on his left was Paul, Quil, and Leah. On the left of Sam was Emily, Embry, and Seth. To his right was me and Jared (I didn't forget anyone; It isn't even table seatings because Emily makes the total to 13 and Jake and the others don't really know the seating chart but I put it out there if it helps with visuals :P).We were all seated and getting our plates piled with food when I noticed one of the seats were empty.
"Who sits there?" I pointed to the empty seat, looking across the table towards Emily.
"Well find out who's missing!" Em smiled cheesily back at me and continued eating. Sam laughed at her while I tried to concentrate on who was and wasn't here. Oh, Damien's sister must be sleeping or something if she was supposed to come to the "party" we were having. Everyone seemed to quiet down as soon as I figured it out but then I heard the water in the bathroom upstairs go off.
"I'll go help her get down here," Emily rushed upstairs.
"Huh, is she still hurting or something?" I asked, hoping to break the silence in the room. No such luck. If you dropped your fork on the ground, it would be the only sound in the room.
"...Really I'm fine. I don't need help at all, Emily. Actually, I'm felling better today," a voice said,sounding like a million chiming bells.
Right when I was going to take a bite of my roast, Sam and Damien stood up, greeting the woman who stood at the foot of the stairs with Emily. She looked about 16 with a beautifull color of reddish-brown hair that was wavy and long. She had mystical hazel eyes that were clouded with sleep as she rubbed them with her long, slender, and perfect fingers. Her skin was a slight olive tone with a smooth finish, making her look like she came out of a magazine instead of reality. She was tall but not too tall and she had the perfect chest. Everything about her was perfect! Finally, I stopped my gaze on her lips. Oh, her lips! They were full and pink, wanting someone to kiss them and get lost within them. At that moment, all I wanted to do was take her in my arms and kiss her until the dawn breaks... No, better yet, until the dawn of forever.
In that second, the strings broke. All those years of having puppeteers control me and attach more stings to my millions, they all snapped of pressure. Replacing those strings were iron chains but instead of pushing me to do things for them, they pulled and pulled. They brung me to different planets. These planets were only rest stops towards the real deal. Finally, they brought me to an alternate Earth. This Earth seemed like the same one with the same people and buildings but I could feel it was different. It felt like it was where I belonged. In that instant, I knew what the future held. I could see my life in front of me, In our alternate Earth.
A/N: Ok, I know some of you are confused about the whole Earth and puppeteer thing but the Earth thing will be cleared up (i think) later on in the story of at the end. The puppet thing is just like when people tell you what to do, it impacts you and you feel bossed around a lot. For Jake in this case, that's what he's saying but for him, it's magnified because of the tribe too so he's got a lot of people telling him things to do A LOT. So when all the strings broke, it means that all those times of being bossed around didn't matter anymore. He now feels like he's in space and could take on anything EXCEPT telling her about the imprint thing and werewolves athough he think she already knows because she's in the Makah tribe. Also, about the whole "Lone Wolf" thing, which I probably mentioned already but, The lone wolf WILL be cleared up later and don't forget about it because it's important! Anyway, I hope this clears some of you up and if it doesn't then reply and tell me what's up and what your confused about...
On a lighter note, Leave a reply and answer the following question: What do you guys think the lone wolf and multiple planets are? (They aren't just planets; They do mean something!)
Yep! Were you confuzzled about anything or think I should do better on anything? Critisism is very much appreciated!
great story love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Thank you all so much! This means a lot... Literally, I can't stop smiling and it feels like my heart is going to explode! Thank you all again and I'll post more tomorrow I think...
OK...I know, I know... I'm a really bad person right now but I was writing this chapter at school AND at home on two different copies and they DIDN'T match each other so I spent two hours trying to merge them together when I figure out it was pretty much plain to see that you take half and half and it would work... My blond moments I swear... Anyway, here's the next chapter...IT'S TAYLOR LAUTNER'S 20TH B-DAY TODAY!!!!!!!!
Chapter 7: The Final Night of My Blindness
(Jake's POV)
"Cough, cough," someone said.
I wanted to tear my gaze off of the beautiful creature still standing in front of me, but I couldn't. Then my body went into overdrive while my mind went dead. I dropped my fork from my mouth and stood up, muscles ridged, sending messages to my brain, but all going to the trash bin. One message did get through though and it told me to tear my gaze away, look towards Sam, nod, and run out the house. I just need to breathe and clear my mind before I start going back there and my wolf instincts take over.
(Kat's POV)
He just sat there, staring with unreadable eyes, at ME. Me, myself, and I. Honestly, I don't get it. I just came down the stairs and he saw me, turned all stiff, and stared at me for a good couple of seconds. Then he got up,dropped his fork, and ran out the door. What in fricking Hades did I do to him? I thought. I also thought I saw anger in his eyes when he ran out. I didn't anger him did I? I look over myself to make sure I didn't have a stain on my shirt. Nope. My other prediction was that he was crazy but I wouldn't think with a face like that that he's crazy. I can't think of any other possibilities.
Embry and Jared ran after him saying "sorry" and "don't worry about him, Kat."
"Umm, what the hell happened with him?" I asked, confused off of my mind.
"It's nothing. Just come and sit next to me, Kat." Damien said, gesturing to the chair. Although I didn't believe it wasn't nothing, I followed what he said.
"Alright, I'm starving anyway for sleeping so long. I feel like Sleeping Beauty." Everyone laughed a weary laugh except Emily who laughed a good, hearty laugh. God, what's wrong with these tribal men? They are so emotional all the time and worrying about nothing. Always angered by the slightest thing when really it's not a big deal.
I walked over to my seat at the table when I felt an unfamiliar pain in my chest. I tried to push it away into a corner in my torso but it wouldn't so I just let it be and sat down, trying to enjoy the festivities.
(Jake's POV)
Why am I running from this? I'm running away from the house and out of town when in reality I can go back and suck it up like a real man.
I can hear Embry and Jared following behind me, telling me to go back or to stop.Still weighing my options, I stop in a meadow. It had flowers everywhere. In the very center was a very comfortable looking patch of grass enough for a werewolf to lay on. Hmm, this is very convenient and a good spot to rest, I thought. I went over to the spot of grass, still knowing that Embry and Jared were watching. Laying down would probably help me have time to think since I had nothing to do today. Surprisingly, Embry and Jared didn't stop me. I guess they know the feeling when you need some alone time to think because at the moment, they started to retreat back to Emily's house, probably to tell Sam where I'm at.
I stayed still, watching the animals in the forest and hearing the bird's songs until I eventually fell asleep with Kat's face behind my eyelids, waiting for me to come back to her.
(Kat's POV)
If you ever found how important it is to fall in love with someone, you know what I feel right now. No one notices though because they are having a special meeting while I'm stuck in the living room. Embry and Jared came back a little while ago with recognition all over their face. Apparently, they found Jake after he was running away from them. That was all I got to hear because then Emily chased me into the living room. So hear I am, sitting on the couch, watching "Gone with the Wind" which I don't really like anyway.Instead of paying attention to the TV, I'm zoning out, thinking about Jake. My heart and left wrist hurts as if it hurts to be away from him. My wrist hurts like I broke it or something but I never really used my left wrist much during dinner. My heart, however, yearns to be with him even though I saw him for a second. That one second that I saw him, he looked like he saw light for the first time in 20 years, which turned into anger. Now even as I'm sitting, it feels like I want to follow him out to the forest. I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I went to see Emily in the kitchen.
When I got to the kitchen, I was suprised when everyone was in there. I thought some people went home already since the "party" was over by now.
"Hey Em? Can I talk to you?" I pointed to my wrist but I doubt that she understood what I meant.
"Yea...Hold on guys. I'll be right back." She walked with me to the hall. "What's up?"
"My wrist hurts really bad and my heart too but I was just wondering if my wrist was broken." She nodded and took my wrist. She bent it and felt around a little bit.
"No it's fine. Are you ok? Emotionally I mean."
"Umm, yea I think so. I just have this bad feeling like somethings going to happen to me."
"Well, feel better ok?" She gave me a hug and a worried but knowing expression. It's almost like she knew what I was going through but she couldn't tell me.
We walked back into the kitchen and I was immediately pulled to the side by Damien.
"Are you ok? Do you feel any different than this morning?"
"I think I'm ok but my wrist hurts really bad but Em doesn't think it's broken." He looked towards Sam and shook his head.
"Just go upstairs and lay down .You'll be fine later." He pushed me lightly towards the stairs. Sticking my tongue out at him, I followed his direction.
I awoke with a start. My wrist burns now. He lied! It hurts worse. Like A LOT worse. It's almost like someone set fire to my wrist while I was sleeping and it's still scorching.
I guess I'll get up then. I changed and then went into the bathroom and got a very cold drink of water. Standing in front of the mirror, I realize in my zombie state, the cold water might help the scorching burn in my wrist. Turning the shower on extremely cold, I stuck my wrist under the water and almost jumped back. It was so cold against my very hot wrist that it felt like it was defying the elements or something. I kept it there though but it seemed that it made it worse. Now, my wrist burns and hurts so bad, I wouldn't mind chopping it off and losing a hand. It was about 6:30 in the morning and I knew that Emily would be awake and in the kitchen making breakfast for everyone. I went downstairs and found Emily at the table with Sam.
"Hey. Where's Damien?" I asked, seeing that he wasn't there and his door to his bedroom was open.
"He left this morning to talk to Jake." Sam shrugged.
My breath quickened. Maybe he knew that I liked Jake and was going to tell him or force him to leave me alone. If he did, I would definitely confront him about it. How would Jake respond to me likeing him? Would he be disgusted or suprised. It feels like he likes me too but I can't get my hopes up or else it will hurt me to know that he doesn't like me.
"I'm going to go now then I guess." I didn't tell them that my heart was forcing me to leave.
"Ok. Have fun." Emily said with a little hope in her voice like she's hoping I find something.
I left, letting my heart tug me in whatever direction it needs to. It headed to the forest and through some shrubs, giving me small tears in my jeans. At one point, it lead me to cross a road and I almost got ran over. If the person in the car didn't stop, I probably would have but I'm thankful that the driver saw me in time. I traveled for what seemed like miles and miles, never knowing where I'm going but begging my heart to tell me. To no provail, it still lead on, beating faster because we must be getting closer. I was actually excited too even though I don't know La Push that well, which added onto the anticipation. Eventually, we stopped in front of a clearing. I couldn't see into the clearing because the sun was shining through the shrub hole. I guess this is where my heart knows whats waiting for me yet I don't which is frustrating even though I'm standing here, dumbfounded, not knowing what to do next. I guess you have to know what's on the other side sometime right? I tried pep-talking to get me going. Nothing. Not even a budge. Can you help out a little bit? I thought to my heart. Nothing from it either. I guess it thinks that if it got me here, it doesn't need to help. Mentally sighing, I tried to gain the courage to walk through the opening. Finally, I mustered enough courage to walk through the small opening, getting cut a couple of times along the way, but finally able to see the meadow ahead.
The meadow was beautiful. It had flowers everywhere! All the basic flowers that would usally be in a meadow but they all worked together that it would be a beautiful painting. In the very middle was a patch of what looks like soft grass and-- Wait... Is that a wolf? There is literally a wolf in the middle of the grass. It's sleeping but I still don't feel safe because if it wakes up, I don't want to be wolf chew. As I start backing up, the wolf stirs. Oh no... I stopped moving, hoping the wolf is still sleeping. Unfortunately, my wrist feels like it's falling off with no morphine and the pain spread throught my body. I'm trying to stay still while I feel it's safe to move but the pain is too much. I collapse onto the ground, landing on my hands and knees. Shaking, I'm trying to stay quiet but the pain is too much. At this point, I don't care if I become wolf bait. I scream and try to bring my head up to see if the wolf is stalking towards me but I only lowered my head to the ground as if the pain was weighing me down. Suddenly, I was lifted and brought to the grass, though the softness didn't help much. I was put on my back, wanting to curl up and roll to my side, there were two hands trying to help me. I slightly opened my eyes to see many people around me. Then I realized I knew them: There was Embry, Jared, Seth, Paul, Sam, Damien, and Jake right in front of me who is helping me. I can see that they are talking but I can't hear them because my ears are pounding with pain. I scream again and all of their faces wince. I don't know what's happening to me but I need it to stop before I die of pain...
ohh my god! i just read all of your story and its so so sooooo good! please please please update soon!
So, I don't really know how to "advertise" my story and I would like a banner or something, so if anyone knows how to make a banner and would love to do so, PLZ let me know so that I can possibly better my chances of commentary cuz I do love it! On a better note, here's the next chapter!
Chapter 8: The Shocking Revelation
(Jake's POV)
As she gripped my arms, I couldn't help but think of what is putting her through this pain to make her grip me really toughly. She must of been walking everywhere by the way her clothes are slightly teared in spots where shrubs could reach. She also had no shoes on so you could see how muddy her feet were. I wonder how she found me IF she was looking for me. I mean, I was in a tough enough spot that the others had a hard time finding me. The power of the Imprint must of lead her here, looking for me because in the midst of all the pain she had been holding in and the pain of the Imprint, she can still semi hold her head high to look at me before she surrenders to the pain trying to swallow her whole.
She tried to look at me again. "You....you need to help me, Jake. I... I know I don't know you.... that well, but you need to promise me.... Promise me that you'll help me when--" She whimpered then started screaming again. What does she mean help her? Help her heal? Help her as an imprinter or what? It could literally be anything!
She looked so helpless -- screaming and holding onto me like I'm her life -- like she was going through the pains of shifting but she can't. Can she? I feel like I'm starting to question all that I knew about the Quileute and Makah bloodlines. If she can shift, then this will change the Makah's thinkings of who can or cannot shift in the generations. We knew that women could shift but we also knew it was rare for the women. There has been only 3 women who have shifted and others who have had the pains of shifting but never did.
All of a sudden, I was pulled back by the pack and she fell face first into the grass, having what looked like a seizure. Damien was there, blocking my view of Kat, and throwing her clothes behind his back. Wait..... Throwing her---- I picked up a article of cloth that he threw behind him. Convinently, I picked out her bra. I smirked, knowing she was wearing this , a black satin bra, while trying to find me.
"Don't you think about taking that." Damien threw a frustrated and stressed look across his shoulder at me. " She needs it for when she changes back."
"Wait, she's changing?!?!?!?!?" We all said in unison. I knew that it was a very good possibility that she was but then again, anything could happen.
"Yes, and you all should too so that when she trys to run, and we know she will, we will be ready." He stepped back, making us run to the forest.
(Kat's POV)
I wanted to tell Damien to comfort me and tell me it's going to be all right, but I couldn't find my voice. The screams subsided and they turned to whimpers that could break any grown man's heart and I could tell by the look on Damien's face that they have.
He was on the other side of the meadow, almost waiting for me to explode or something. It felt like I was going to burst although I don't know why he had to take my clothes away. When the boys went away into the forest, I felt a little bit better about being naked in the open.
As if I left my body or something, it felt like I changed or exploded into a million pieces. The pain went with the million pieces as well and I felt like the weight as been lifted off my shoulders, or rather put on my shoulders. Suddenly, I felt much heavier though I weight 110 pounds and it almost feels like I weight 220 pounds instead. In my peripheral vision, I could see a snout is it? Yep, definitely a wolf's nose. I looked down and almost collapsed. I had paws and a wolf's nose! Damien must have been trying to gear me up for this but you can never gear up for the pain that I went through.
I looked up and I must have been dreaming because there are 10 other wolfs in the woods, including the one that was laying where I'm standing about 15 minutes ago. My brother was in the center and it seemed like he was working with them.
"I know you must feel afraid right now and you must want to try to run away from this but you shouldn't. You need to stay here so we can help you." He stretched his arms out wide. "We know what you are going through and the pain you've felt." I snorted. I doubt that anyone would know how painful it would be to go through that.
"Come here. It's ok. You can trust me. I'm still the same person you've been with for your entire life." He stepped closer and brought his hand forward as if to pet me. I feel like I'm 7 foot tall or something and the wolfs in the woods are about a foot taller than me.
~~A/N: So I'm not done with this chapter but this is all I could do for now... I'll finish tomorrow!
wow, this is really good!!

Are you a doctor in training? If so, whatever your age, grade, chosen career path or region of the country, CMF has provision for you via the Junior Doctors' ministry.
'As Christians who are doctors, it is important for us to unite with one another, sharing fellowship, education and serving God together, be that in the UK or elsewhere in the world. CMF helps me to do this.'
Dr Victoria Parsonson - a missionary doctor in Madagascar
We have much in common: workplace issues such as rota negotiations, antisocial working hours, postgraduate exams, appraisals and workplace-based assessments; ethical issues that challenge our faith through our day to day work; and the repercussions on our faith and personal lives of relocating for work (and the inevitable church-hopping that goes along with it).
CMF would love to support you through your time as a junior doctor. There are many ways in which you can get involved… Have you considered attending a regional CMF event, connecting with junior doctors in your area, or signing up for the pastoral care scheme?
'The pressures of the world don't evaporate when you become a doctor – they get stronger. You're faced with all kinds of different temptations such as money, sex and alcohol, as well as ethical issues which come more to the fore because you're working as a doctor. CMF is great at equipping people to deal with that.'
Dr Mikey Bryant - a DTMH student in Liverpool
CMF has a junior doctors' committee; a dozen or so individuals, themselves at various stages of training in different specialties.
We'd love to hear your feedback on ways in which you have been involved and how you've found it, if you are wanting to develop provision for doctors in training in your area, or perhaps want to get involved in the work of the Junior Doctor's committee.

In this case, Notch employs twenty or so people at his company Mojang, which has a flat management struture and no set working hours. "When you have the kind of success Minecraft has brought, you can just choose yourself the way you want to do things," says Persson, which includes not rabidly pursuing the Next Big Thing. "I try to have a studio where people go to make games for the fun of it, not just because some investor has said we have to make money." This is a small company, of course, but just imagine how this might float up to influence larger corporations, who always need to be able to attract and hire talent.

Remembering Brubeck
When jazz legend Dave Brubeck died on December 5, his profound impact on the world of jazz was noted by front-page announcements of his death in newspapers all over the world. Along with millions of others, I was a devoted Dave Brubeck fan ever since I first heard his music in the 1950s.
Brubeck changed jazz by producing his "cool" sound in collaboration with alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, who played counterpoint to Brubeck's piano. Their innovative use of unusual rhythms captured the imagination of a generation of college students in the '50s and '60s. His 33 rpm record Time Out became the first jazz album to sell more than a million copies. After a tour of India and the Middle East, Brubeck began to experiment with rhythmic structures. In his signature piece, "Take Five," perhaps the most popular jazz single ever, five-beat measures alternate with four-beat measures. He also composed a lively Christmas piece, "God's Love Made Visible," in 5/4 time.

INSIDE ti oThe imp (CD Sit I. Volume 64 Issue 1 2 www.weber.edusignpost Wednesday, September 5, 2001 Cross country finishes second at ISU Invitational, see Page 11. t -y IL jf Kit By Casey Cummings campus affairs editor The Signpost The German department at Weber State University was recognized this year as having some of the best students in the nation. WSU tied with Georgetown University for second place for having the most students who passed the 2001 International Business German Examination. Seven students passed the examination, which is designed to measure a candidate's ability to function competently in German in a business setting. "It is a very difficult test," said Erika Daines, director of the German department. "All the candidates come out of the test covered in sweat." The examination lasts over three hours and tests skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking, with emphasis on German business. Test participants are required to have a solid command of specialized vocabulary in business and economics and must be able to function in complex communicative situations in business fields, such as international trade, advertising, banking, management and union organizations. "The majority of students would struggle with this test if it was in English," Daines said. She said most stu-.dents must learn the close to 2,000 new vocabulary words first in English before they can learn them in German.'Another prerequisite for the test is a strong historical and cultural knowledge. "The advantage we have in Utah is we have so many return missionaries that already have a cultural knowledge," Daines said. "That's something that can't be easily learned in the classroom. It makes Weber very unique." Eva Szalay, assistant professor of German, also contributes a lot of success to the fact that many students have served LDS missions. "The program here is excellent," Szalay said. "It cultivates what students have already learned." Mike Schmidt, a 2000 WSU graduate, attributes a lot of his success in school to taking German classes. "It's remarkable how much applicable knowledge has carried over from my German business and history classes," said Schmidt, who is now studying law at Idaho University. See Honors page 3 New software iffy to WSU students By Jose Carvajal managing editor The Signpost Students beware: computer programs may start becoming your biggest critics. These days, several companies are boasting software that is capable of grading student essays. The Educational Testing Service is using such a program to grade essay responses in the GMAT, a test taken by students who are going into business. Another program, developed by researchers t the University of Colorado at Boulder and Jew Mexico State University, is being used by 'ementary schools as part of a pilot program helpstu- ' h i I e :r of the programs has caught on at Weber - University, with the rate at which tech-ogy advances these days, it's only a matter of time. WSU students, however, aren't too excited about the prospect of having a computer critiquing their writing. "I wouldn't feel too easy," said senior Bryan Schut., a computer science major. How a computer knows "I'm not taught by a computer," said Carl Klein, a criminal justice major. "I'm taught by a teacher. The computer's not going to know what the teacher wants." The computer may not know what a teacher wants, but according to makers of the critiquing software, the computer will be able to discern good writing from bad writing. When the researchers at CU and NMSU unveiled the Intelligent Essay Assessor in August 1 998. they announced that the program uses two different forms of mathematical analyses to find out what's working in an essay and what isn't. The first method requires a teacher to grade several essays, thus creating a sample. The sample will be set as the standard and the software will grade the rest of the essays. The grade w ill depend on which already-graded essay the piece of writing matches closely.

Ulibarri has been making history on campus by helping to pave the way for some students, while educating other students about history. As a standout student in his field and former Wildcat, Ulibarri was recruited by Weber State University 36- years ago. The university wanted him to set up a Latin America History program. After he established that program, he continued to have a variety of positions during his career at WSU. In 1970, Ulibarri became part of the school's administration and created the Institute of Ethnic Studies, an important advance for minorities at WSU. The program provided minority students with counselors and help in finding financial aid. "He's made a tremendous number of contributions to Weber State. He is obviously a leader in a number of important areas," said Lee Sather, head of the history department. Sather also sees Ulibarri as a leader in helping to establish diversity during the '60s and '70s. Other positions Ulibarri has held at WSU include executive director of Academic Development, dean of students and dean of Continuing Education. He also has spent time in the classroom. Ulibarri loves history and finds it exciting, so he was more than happy to return to a staff position teaching on campus. In his classes he has been known to request smiles in exchange for syllabuses from students and to jokingly offer change from his pocket in exchange for answers to difficult questions. Many of his students appreciate him not only for the sense of humor he brings to class but for the time and dedication he gives them. "He seemed as though he really cared about the students and wanted to be able to help them," WSU student Cordell Stott said. For other students, like Michelle Rouvinet, Ulibarri makes class interesting and more fun than other classes. . "I enjoy that he's funny, but he also gets the point across," Rouvinet said. Aside from the respect he has earned from his students, many campus professors and department heads hold Ulibarri in high re card.

"I think someone willing to go back to the classroom after having other responsibilities is to be admired and to be respected," Sather said. "He's continued to make contributions to Weber State. I hope he's around for a long time." Ulibarri said he expects to be on campus well into WSU's future. "I'll only leave after the students run me out or after old age finally catches up with me."

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

"That being said to be the best in Arena you MUST know your and every other class/spec inside and out."
Oh like kittens you do. At the high end of Arena, you just need to know how the cookie cutter class combos of the current patch are played, because that's all that exists at the high end.
"the skills needed for pve are following a strat that doesn't evolve and only gets easier with gear."
Let me tell you a story. I heard this professional drummer say how whenever he gets a new student who's an intermediate level drummer, the first thing he does is gives them a relatively simple beat to play, and that they have to keep playing it until he tells them to stop. And you know what? Most of them can't do it. They inevitably end up throwing a fill in somewhere, or changing up the beat.
That's the problem with PvP players in a PvE environment. They're so used to the twitchy, on-the-fly improvisation of Arena that when they're presented with PvE, where it's just one straight-ahead strat, they can't do it. They make stupid mistakes. Now I'm not saying this makes PvE'rs better or more intelligent than PvP'ers. I'm just saying that it's two different skill sets.

Fortysomething Jean has stumbled in and out of a number of bad relationships in her lifetime, and is desperate to find a good man; however, Holly has grown a bit tired of Jean's favored means of therapy after a bad breakup -- packing up the family and moving to a new city. Once Jean and her girls settle in Brooklyn, Holly thinks they should stay for a while, and when Jean's romantic prospects begin to look less than rosy, Holly and her new friend Amy (Vanessa Lengies) decide to invent a secret admirer for her. Needing advice on what the "perfect man" would say and do, Holly and Amy turn to Ben (Chris Noth), Amy's uncle who talks a very good game when it comes to romance. But convincing Jean that there's a real man behind the steady stream of letters and e-mails from her new admirer isn't as easy as Holly imagines, and it looks as if her imaginary suitor might get in the way of a flesh-and-blood Mr. Right. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

As you have might have guessed, unexpected trip to upstate for a marathon, back-to-school, school trips, and start of another busy sports season left me with no time to make anything for my shop.
But as fate would have it, (crafting God wanted me to get back to crafting, I guess) I received two custom orders recently.
So, I made these two beautiful items and I wanted to share them.
I love making things out of scraps and remnants as I feel as though I am using up materials that no one wants and rescuing them from landfills. I bought these scraps at such a cheap price. They are perfectly fine fabrics. Just small pieces that no one wants. (Although I bought these silks, there are ways to 'rescue' fabrics and get them for free. See my post on how to score FREE fabrics from upholstery and design stores)
I already made this pillow case and a nice customer Celticdragon (who makes beautiful jewelry. Check out her store.) wanted a matching, not exactly but close, pair.
And I was able to put together enough pieces to make this fraternal twin, number #2.
So now they are Fraternal Twin Silk Pillows.
They are not exactly alike, but you know they are related. Even the brooches are a little different. I like that. And to send them off nicely, I made this matching pouch.
I'm sure the customer can find many uses for the silk pouch.
My second custom order was from a very nice seller, Beans Things (she makes exquisite pendants using upcycled pictures. Very Cool.) She wanted a Southwestern themed utensil case. Well, let me tell you, I have a good collection of fabric but I couldn't find one Southwest pattern. Shame on me. But I found a scrap of tapestry type of fabric in Southwest motif over the Labor Day weekend in Upstate NY so I was able to make this eco friendly utensil case.
How great is carrying your own utensils instead of using disposable plastic flatware? Totally eco friendly and totally chic!
And you can fold and wrap the cord around it so that you can keep them from clanking to each other.
Now, what can I make for you?

Natasha Richardson's Lesson Saved Girl's Life
CNN: Connie and Donald McCracken were watching CNN one evening last week when they learned of the tragic death of actress Natasha Richardson from a head injury. Immediately, their minds turned to their 7-year-old daughter, Morgan, who was upstairs getting ready for bed.
Two days earlier, Morgan, her father, and brother had been playing baseball in the yard of their Mentor, Ohio, home when her father hit a line drive that landed just above Morgan's left temple. A lump formed, but the McCrackens iced it down and the swelling subsided within an hour.
"For the next two days, she was perfectly fine," Donald McCracken says. "She had no symptoms. She went to school both days and got an A on her spelling test as usual. There were no issues whatsoever."
But after hearing about Richardson's death, the McCrackens wondered if Morgan was really as OK as she seemed. After all, Richardson had been talking and lucid immediately after her fatal injury.
When they went upstairs to kiss Morgan good night, she complained of a headache. "Because of Natasha, we called the pediatrician immediately. And by the time I got off the phone with him, Morgan was sobbing, her head hurt so much," McCracken says.
The McCrackens took Morgan to the emergency room at LakeWest Hospital in neighboring Willoughby, where doctors ordered a CT scan and immediately put Morgan on a helicopter to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, with her father by her side.
"I knew it was bad when she had to get there by helicopter in six minutes, instead of the 30 minutes it would have taken to get to Cleveland in an ambulance," McCracken said.
When the helicopter arrived at Rainbow, the McCrackens were greeted by Dr. Alan Cohen, the hospital's chief of pediatric neurosurgery. He whisked Morgan into the operating room, pausing for a moment to tell McCracken that his daughter had the same injury as Richardson: an epidural hematoma.
McCracken remembers standing in the emergency room, feeling like the life had just been sucked out of him. "My heart sank," he says. "It just sank."
Unlike Richardson's, Morgan's story has a happy ending. After surgery and five days in the hospital, she's at home and doing fine. "Dr. Cohen told us that if we hadn't brought her in Thursday night, she never would have woken up," McCracken says.
Now the McCrackens sometimes wonder if they waited too long to get Morgan to a doctor. After hearing about Richardson's death, many people are asking themselves the same question: Do all head injuries need attention, even ones that seem minor?
"Sometimes there's a gray zone, and there's no right answer," Cohen says.
In most cases, it's pretty clear when someone needs medical attention after a head injury, says Greg Ayotte, a spokesperson for the Brain Injury Association of America and a cognitive rehabilitation therapist. "They're confused, they're agitated, or they might be dizzy or unresponsive," he says.
But then there's what doctors call the "talk and die" scenario, where someone seems fine, only to die hours, or sometimes even days later.
"Talk and die" can happen with several different kinds of brain injuries. In the case of epidural hematomas, the injury Richardson and Morgan had, blood pools in the area between the lining of the brain and the skull. "Fluid is building up in a contained space, creating pressure. Something's got to give, and that something is the brain," Ayotte says. If you don't get to the hospital to have surgery to drain the fluid, "the deterioration can happen very quickly."
Here, from Ayotte and other experts, is a list of what to do after someone has suffered a head injury.
1. Be vigilant
Keep an eye on someone who has hit his head, even if the person never lost consciousness. "A lot of folks are still under the assumption that as long as you're not knocked out, you're OK, and that's not true," Ayotte says.
2. Look for dizziness, vomiting, headache and confusion
If the injured person has these signs, take him or her to an emergency room, says Dr. Jam Ghajar, clinical professor of neurological surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, and president of the Brain Trauma Foundation.
3. Look for changes in symptoms and behavior
Any sudden change, such as Morgan's headache going from mild to severe in minutes, means the person needs medical attention. For example, Ghajar says, if a person gets suddenly sleepy in the first 12 hours after a hit, it may mean the parts of the brain responsible for staying awake are experiencing pressure from a bleed.
4. Be especially wary if someone a) has been drinking alcohol, b) is on blood thinners, c) is elderly or d) is a young athlete
It's tough to distinguish brain-injured behavior from drunken behavior, so when in doubt, take the person to the hospital, Ghajar says. Also, blood thinners can turn a mild bleed into a major bleed, so be especially vigilant if the injured person is taking blood thinners such as warfarin.
He also warns people to be extra vigilant when an elderly person hits his or her head. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has information on traumatic brain injury and senior citizens. The CDC also has information on concussions in young athletes.
5. Go to a certified trauma center if you can
The American College of Surgeons has a list of certified trauma facilities; a hospital that's not a trauma center may not have a neurosurgeon on call. You can also look on this map from the American Trauma Society. Find your state, select trauma centers, update the map, and you can find information about trauma centers in your area.
The McCrackens say they look back and still can't believe Morgan suffered such a severe injury and didn't show any signs for 48 hours. "She didn't black out, her speech wasn't slurred, she wasn't dizzy, she wasn't any of the things you'd expect," McCracken says. "And you don't want to be one of those panicky parents who takes their child to the emergency room all the time."
Cohen's advice after a head injury: When in doubt, go. "It's always better to err on the side of being conservative," he says.

Useful article
Sometimes people are layered like that. There's something totally different underneath than what's on the surface. But sometimes, there's a third, even deeper level, and that one is the same as the top surface one. Like with pie.
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed.

By TIAN
from Chandler, AZ
This is exactly what I was looking for. The less than $20 I paid for was great value. I have always been a fan of Caselogic's products. Additional to this bag, I have three other camera bags for compacts, as well as CD cases.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By JANET
from Surprise, AZ
The bag is large enough to accomodate the long lens and double as a carry-all while vacationing. Leaves room for a wallet, passport, and incidentals. I agree that it's not the most comfortable to carry, but is more convenient than a backpack would be to access the camera quickly.

The bag is lightweight, ...
By DEBORAH
from Cranberry Township, PA
The bag is lightweight, the strap is comfortably placed, it's easy to open the top and grab your camera, and because the camera is suspended, there is less chance that either the screen or the lens will be scratched. You can also change the location of the suspension straps because they are velcro.There are three places to store your memory cards, but I don't recommend inside the top. I left that empty in case something might scratch my screen. The front zip with pockets is the best place, and my camera manual fits in the outside zip pocket.Also, with a normal lens attached, there is still plenty of room in the bottom of the bag to toss accessories like cables, or in my case, the battery recharger and spare batteries.

By GORDON
from Oakland, CA
My original camera bag was perfect for my equipment (Camera body, 2 zoom lens, flash & film). Pick up a new body & repairing the old body. I needed either a bigger bag or something for 1 body with lens.This case was big enough for the larger zoom & body. I liked the belt loop on it and the padding was a little thicker/denser than I expected. Just what I needed.

A little about me...
Want to see and do it all! Will travel anyplace I haven't been before (and back to some I have). Love trying new places and new things. Have a great job but still live for weekends and vacations. I am the consumate bargain shopper. Can get you the best deal on absolutely anything. Avid thrift store/garage saler. Love to cook and entertain. Concerts, fairs, amusement parks, you name it, I'm game. Just as comfortable in jeans on a boat as I am in a formal at a black tie event. I'm in sales and pretty good at getting along with almost anyone. Lets have some new experiences together!
About the one I'm looking for...
I like a guy who can take charge and who knows what he wants in life. I am looking for a long term relationship.
I'd just like to add...
I love almost all activities: movies, plays, fairs, sports, you name it I'll try it! I have a long "bucket list" and hope to find someone who also still wants to do it all. I have one terrific daughter that I really love and am close with and a puppy that I adore. I like exercise if it involves some sport but find just "exercise" boring. Looking forward to meeting you!

Scott Hartnell (born April 18, 1982) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who plays for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Prior to entering the NHL, Hartnell played two seasons of Canadian Junior-A hockey for the Lloydminster Blazers of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL). He then spent two seasons playing for the Prince Albert Raiders of the Western Hockey League (WHL). In the 1999–2000 season, Hartnell was not only the captain of the Raiders, but he led the team with 82 points and was named team MVP. He was also chosen to play for Bobby Orr in the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Top Prospects Game.
Hartnell was the sixth overall pick in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators. Considered a gritty power forward at 6 feet 2 inches tall, the left winger was the youngest player in franchise history to play for the Predators. He was also the youngest player in the NHL in the 2000–01 season. Hartnell's first NHL game was played in Japan against the Pittsburgh Penguins as part of a 2 game set planned by the NHL to raise international interest in the league. Hartnell has stated that this game marks his favorite NHL moment.

He finished up cooking then looked right at me.
Tucker: "Carol I am your big brother, when everyone left I promised I would look after you. We have a very open brother/sister relationship and I hope you would come and talk to me about anything. Carol did you and jacob you know?"
Me: "Tucker we do and I would. You also know that jacob and I have not been dating that long, you also know that I want to wait. So no we did not do want you think we did."
Tucker: "Okay thank goodness, okay I can now go to work. Bye sis love ya."
Me: "Hahaha love you too tucker."
We hugged then he left to go to work. I walked back into my room and genitally woke up jacob.
Me: "Babe, breakfast is ready."
Jacob: "Hmmm what is it?"
Me: "Eggs and Sausage."
Jacob: "M'kay wait who cooked it?"
Me: "My brother."
We walked into the kitchen and sat down to eat. After breakfast we did our homework which was fun. Jacob left after lunch, I got ready to go to Cody's house for practice. Around two thirty I left to go and practice at cody's. Once I got there I noticed that the whole team was there.
Cody: "Hey you made it."
Logan: "Yeah we figured your boyfriend was coming."
Me: "Haha very funny, I am surprised the your little girlfriends aren't here."
Logan: "We told them to lay off, they know we are top dogs."
Jaxon: "Oh please the ones that did that to them broke up with them and the other ones didn't say it all because they're girlfriends went and got stuff done."
Me: "I see hahahaha. Okay lets go practice."
We ran drills. Did jumping jacks. Then played ball. My game was little down because I was thinking if Jacob was okay. Once practice was over I started texting jacob.
Me: "Okay guys I got to get going. See you Monday.
Cody: "Bye carol drive safe."
Logan: "Hey carol wait up."
I continued to walk to my truck. When I was pushed against cody's garage, it was Logan. He held his hand against my mouth.
Logan: "Don't make a sound. Got it."
I just nodded.
Logan: "I've decided that, that jacob guy doesn't deserve you. Be with me. Let Ashley have him. Now I am going to remove my hand don't make a sound."
He removed his hand and that's when I acted, I punched but I didn't put enough force in to it. I called for help, he cursed. He was very angry now, he slapped me making my lip bleed. By that time Cody, Jaxon and Garrett saw us.
Cody: "Logan what did you do?"
Logan: "She decked me so I hit her back."
Me: "I only decked you because you attacked me. He wanted em to brake up with jake and go out with him."
Logan: "I didn't say go out. I was thinking of something much different."
Jaxon punched Logan right in the nose, Logan fell to the ground cursing.
Cody: "Okay that's enough, Logan your off the team till you can control your anger and be a big boy. Jaxon good hit. Garrett why don't you take jaxon home and I will get carol home. Logan um go sit out by the curb I am sure the garbage man will come and pick you up."
I hugged jaxon and thanked him. I got in my truck, and started heading to home, Cody was right behind me in his car. My lip was still bleeding and I could feel the left side of my face starting to bruise. Once I reached home, I got out of the car so did cody. I gave him a good long hug and whispered a thank you to him. I walked to my front door and waved good bye to him as he drove away. I walked into my house, I wanted to was up before jacob came over, I was almost done the hall when the door bell rang. I prepared myself for what was going to happen. I walked back over to the door and opened it. He was smiling but when he looked down at me the most precious smile went away and a frown took its place.
Jacob: "What happened to you?"
Me: "Logan attacked me. I punched me then he did this to me. I will tell you everything later I want to go and wash up."
Jacob: "I am staying here with you. I don't think I would be able to control the anger that's boiling in me."
I walked down the hall and into my room. I got some comfy clothes then walked into my bathroom and got a quick shower. When I walked out of the bathroom Jacob was sitting on my bed waiting for me.
Jacob: "Tell me everything that happened."
Me: "After practice I started texting you, I said goodbye to everyone and started walking to my truck. Logan had hollered for me wait up but I continued walking. I was almost there when I was pushed against cody's garage, Logan had placed his hand on my mouth and told me to not make a sound. I didn't. Then he started babbling on about how I should brake up with you and be with him and leave you to be with Ashley. He then let go of my hand and I punched him and called for help, he cursed then did this to me. Cody, Jaxon and Garrett came running. They all asked me what happened so I told him then after I said that Logan wanted me to date him he said he didn't say go out he said he was thinking of something much different. Jaxon then decked him, after cody go everything under control. Logan is kicked off the team and won't be back on til he can control his anger and be a big boy."
Jacob: "I should go an kick Logan's butt."
Me: "But you won't cause it won't solve anything."
Jacob: "Hmm I don't know about that but I won't cause I want to be with you right now."
Me: "Sounds good to me.
I walked over to jacob and sat on his lap, he wrapped his arms around my waist and started kissing my neck.
Hehe hope ya enjoyed it.

Following the incredible conversations coming out of yesterday's Sustainable Marketing Conference Interbrand had the pleasure of hosting with Yale at the Yale Club in New York, our Corporate Citizenship practice leaders are taking a look at measuring the impact of brands' efforts in its latest version of Closing the Gap today. To find great dialog from the conference yesterday, track #SMCstories on Twitter and stay tuned for our upcoming blog post.

Is your brand measuring the impact of its Corporate Citizenship efforts? As the latest edition of Closing the Gap notes, "You can't manage what you don't measure."
With consumer expectations growing for serious efforts from the for-profit world to work with the non-profit world to address issues from deforestation to world hunger, that something must be done is clear. But how is the impact of that something to be measured to ensure a path to effectiveness for both the issues facing the world and the brands?
"By crafting a strong story around your organization's impact and showcasing measurable results, you will fundamentally help stakeholders understand your brand's mission, goals, distinctive qualities, and characteristics," say Erica Chan, Thomas Goerner and Dominik Prinz of Interbrand in What's Your Impact? How to successfully define, track and communicate the good your brand is doing. This discussion, featured in Closing the Gap, showcases key takeaways from interviews with leaders of
foundations and Corporate Citizenship programs, revealing the most common challenges they face and effective solutions.
This issue of Closing the Gap curates content from Yale Center for Business and the Environment, video interviews with FEED's Lauren Bush Lauren on strategic corporate partnerships, brandchannel and TEDx, for example. These pieces explore cost efficiencies, customer loyalty, internal brand engagement and harnessing the power of brand to change the world.

Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums) is a brilliant auteur who has delivered some of the greatest dead-pan comedies of the last two decades. One of his best, though somewhat misunderstood, is The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, which continues to draw in audiences years after its release with its stylized visuals and offbeat humor.
Bill Murray plays Steve Zissou, an ocean documentary filmmaker in the same vein as Jacques-Yves Cousteau who is on a quest to hunt down and destroy the legendary jaguar shark that ate his best friend. Along for the ride is Zissou's ex-wife (Anjelica Houston), a young man (Owen Wilson) who believes that Zissou might be his father, and a very pregnant journalist (Cate Blanchett). There's also a frequently topless script girl, and a Brazilian safety expert who spends much of the film singing David Bowie songs in Portuguese.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A report from the state auditor says a northern Kentucky school district spent excessive amounts on out-of-state travel and was lax in monitoring its finances.
The report by State Auditor Adam Edelen's office says Kenton County School District's food services department has spent $116,388 on out-of-state travel since 2007. The 16-page report says 46 employees attended the same conference in Las Vegas in 2009 and 27 employees attended a conference in Nashville last year. Those trips cost the district $59,000.
The report says Kenton County's Board of Education acknowledged that it is unnecessary to send that many employees to a conference. School officials say they were not aware of many of the out-of-state trips.
The auditor's office said it initiated the investigation after receiving citizen complaints about travel and procurement.

Marquis Daniels scored 19 of his season-high 25 points in the second half for the Pacers. Jamaal Tinsley had 24 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds, but he had eight turnovers and shot 7-for-20 from the field for Indiana.

Jazz 103, Pistons 93
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Carlos Boozer had 36 points and 11 rebounds, Deron Williams added 21 points and 14 assists in Utah's fifth straight win over Detroit.
Detroit played without Rasheed Wallace (knee) for the second game in a row, then had head coach Flip Saunders ejected after picking up a pair of technicals for arguing with official Marc Davis in the third quarter.
Boozer was 17-for-20 from the floor in his best scoring day this season. Former Piston Mehmet Okur added 12 points for Utah, while Andrei Kirilenko had 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Antonio McDyess led the Pistons with 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Richard Hamilton added 17 despite fighting flu-like symptoms.

TORONTO (AP) - Chris Bosh had 16 points and 13 rebounds, rookie Jamario Moon matched his career-high with 15 points and Toronto handed Chicago its fourth straight loss.

Starting in place of the injured T.J. Ford (sore left arm), point guard Jose Calderon scored 19 points and dished out 14 assists for Toronto.
Luol Deng scored 21 points in his return to Chicago's starting lineup after missing the previous three games with a sore lower back. Ben Gordon added 17 and Kirk Hinrich 15.

Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker each scored 22 for the Spurs, who at 12-2 are off to their best start after 14 games in team history - one game better than last season.
Reserve Wally Szczerbiak scored 27, including a season-high 20 for the Sonics in the second quarter, and Kevin Durant ended a shooting slump with 25 on 11-for-15 shooting for Seattle, which matched its worst start since its inaugural season of 1967-68. The Sonics are 0-6 at KeyArena, their worst home start ever.
Nets 102, Lakers 100
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jason Kidd had 15 points and 14 assists to help New Jersey overcome Kobe Bryant's 31 points and beat the Lakers.
Richard Jefferson had 27 points for the Nets, who have won three straight following a six-game losing streak. Vince Carter had 19 points in a reserve role and Bostjan Nachbar scored nine of his 15 points in the fourth quarter.
Bryant, Kidd's teammate on the U.S. national team, made 15 straight free throws before missing a clutch foul shot with 6.1 seconds to go.

The Tennessee Titans are fresh off a 9-7 season where the nearly clinched a Wild Card spot in the final week of the regular season. However, as the Titans are transitioning away from the failed Vince Young project into the Jake Locker era, the Titans seem ready to make the leap to double-digit victories and a possible playoff berth. The Titans will play the NFC North (Packers, Bears, Lions and Vikings) this season while also opening the season against the New England Patriots. It's a tough road ahead for Tennessee, however, they possess the personnel and hunger to succeed.
Chris Johnson is coming off his least productive season to date, however, some of his ineffective play can be attributed to his length preseason holdout as well as a weakened offensive line. His total yards, yards per carry and overall production decreased across the board. With a full training camp under his belt, CJ2K appears ready for the tolls of the regular season.
Jake Locker didn't impress everyone with his arm during the preseason, however, his mobility in and outside the pocket allows him to make plays that most quarterbacks simply cannot. While the Titans lost Eugene Amano, their starting Center, for the year, the offensive line looked much more cohesive over the course of the preseason than they did all of last year.
Kenny Britt, the former Rutgers University standout, has been unable to stay healthy throughout his limited NFL career thus far. That doesn't take into account Britt's run-ins with law enforcement as well. He will be serving a 1-game suspension this year, but should return to form and contribute at a high level as the Titans main deep threat.
The addition of Kendall Wright (rookie out of Baylor) and the presence of Nate Washington amongst the receiving corps, the Titans should have no issues finding receivers.
The big question is the Titans defense. In years past, their defensive line had been one of the best in the league. Their secondary was one of the worst in the NFL last season and the Titans decided not to bring back star cornerback, Courtland Finnegan, who signed with St. Louis and joined former Titans head coach, Jeff Fisher.
If the Titans can put together a consistent defensive attack and limit opponents on big plays, their offense should dominate time of possession with the likes of Johnson and Locker in the backfield.
