Jenkins Named Southern Conference Softball Pitcher-of-the-Week
Tuesday, April 16, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Apr. 16, 2002) -- East Tennessee State freshman pitcher Courtney Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) was named Southern Conference Softball Pitcher-of-the-Week for her performance during the week of Apr. 8-14. Courtney was sparkling on the mound for the Bucs (19-24, 7-8 Southern Conference) last week, going 4-1 with a 0.27 ERA in five appearances. Jenkins had four starts and four complete games last week, tossing three shutouts. The only appearance that Jenkins had last week that was not a complete game was a win she picked up in relief against Southern Conference rival Furman. Against Furman, Jenkins was flawless. She picked up wins in all three games of the series, allowing the Bucs to tie the Lady Paladins in the SoCon standings. Jenkins pitched shutouts in the first and third games of the series and picked up a win in relief in the second. For the week, Jenkins pitched 26 innings, allowing one earned run on 22 hits and just two walks while striking out 16. For the season, Courtney leads the team in most pitching categories with a 10-8 record, 3.12 ERA, 15 complete games, three shutouts, four saves and 81 strikeouts. The award is Jenkins' second such honor, as she also won the Southern Conference Pitcher-of-the-Week on Mar. 20. The Bucs return to action on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. as they play UNC Wilmington in a Southern Conference doubleheader from Metro-Kiwanis Park in Johnson City.

I had a dream that there was a war going on over me. Sort of like the people were battling to see which side i was going to. Except it was like Transformers so the war was between those type of robots.. them i was sick of the fighting so i had a cup of tea in my school cafeteria. It was weird, yet cool at the same time.
I had a dream in which I seemed to be walking around with a Toxicroak of all things...
I have claimed the Pigs!
Anime Style Battling Squad Summary
Two days ago I dreamed my family and I went to Australia and stayed at a hotel where we stayed to eat. I got up to go to the bathroom and when I was in there, I accidentally broke the doorknob. Someone came into the building to fix it then yelled at me. Suddenly I'm at home again, my family sitting and watching TV. I look at the ceiling and see a spider about two inches long (Excluding legs) running toward the kitchen, where I'm at. I hurry up and get a bowl to catch it in, and once I catch it, I look at it. The spider was brown with white spots on it, though the weirdest thing about it was that it could talk. It asked if I could take her outside (Apparently it was a girl) so she could go home. I let her go on our porch, and see two spiders about three feet tall looking at me. The little spider suddenly jumps on my face squealing and then my sister wakes me up in real life.
Last night I dreamed that the world was ending by slowly melting into darkness. I ran into a grocery store with other people to try to escape it, though it slowly crept into the building, eating away everything in its path. We finally stopped in an isle of the store, nothing but darkness surrounding us. I noticed we were in the candy isle, and grabbed a Reese's peanut butter cup and threw took a bite out of it. When I did, the darkness began to vanish until it dissappeared entirely, the world turning back to normal.
...My dreams are weird.
Man, I swear to gawd that if I have a nap in the middle o' the day, my dreams suddenly feel like they were directed by David Lynch.
Like, I appear in this weird town, and then I spot someone following me in a hearse, so I get into a nearby car...except there's no driver, but then I sorta become the car.
Another one was where I was saving these homeless people from these weird tall things, and herding them in this wagon to get to safety.
We're on the road for a few minutes, and then the weird tall things appear riding wolves/motorcycles. So I get outta the wagon, hijack one of the wolfcycles and chase 'em.
Then I end up in this odd sewer place, where the three main tall guys are stood before me, sorta like a Dragon Quest battle scene.
I go to attack one of them, but I miss, and then they attack me and hit a 700 (no joke, it actually came up with 700 in the dream). Then, darkness.

A journey most XtraordinarY is about to begin...
I hardly ever have dreams, so I decided to share this one I had last night. In my dream i was walking down a grassy hill towards a large warehouse. inside the warehouse it was a musuem. I walked through the museum, and then all the sudden I was at my house and my parents were out of town. I got nervous so i ran into my closet and there was a mini pistol in my underwear drawer. The pistol had blues arms and legs on it , but the didn't do anything. Al of the sudden i was back in the museum, and this lady and the curator cam walking towards me talking. I dashed behind adisplay case, and as they walked by i heard them sy that something had been stolen from the 80s and 90s section. then i was back in my room, but when I looked out, I saw an evil lady talking about robbing my house, so I pulled out the pistol and shot her in the head. Now I really want to shoot a pistol.

I just had another dream about me quarreling with one of my friends. Seriously, I am sick and tired of this.
I had a dream in which I went to deliver something to a church (?) But it turned out to be a set-up by a bunch of girls to seduce me, but then I opened the church door (Like there was a foyer then the whole church-a-majig) and this paedophile (I'm not sure if he was one or if he was just plain creepy) and this attractive man started singing a really happy '80s song about how their girlfriend left them and how they can't go living then all of a sudden Dan Aykroyd joined in with the song as well.
As to what once, it now is. For this my retirement tour, let us commence, forevermore, forevermore.
I had a really REALLY weird dream. It was kinda like the beginning of a horror/thriller game or something. Think I've been getting a little too much Dead Space to the veins...
I had just come in from a walk (I always walk, so this was the first thing that was strikingly real for me) and my mom said to me: "Oh, thank goodness. I was just about to go looking for you. It's not safe out there." - now I, I was confused as hell. She didn't say anything else, just that, until some minutes later when she said: "It's all over the news."
Well... what's all over the news?
I listened to what was left of the report - I've never been interested in news by the way, so listening to mere minutes if I had to is also realistic - and heard that there had been an outbreak of a very dangerous species. I was mildly curious as to what these things were since that was all it said about them. Also as to how they got here and why they were vicious/aggressive. But the last line of the report was: "Stay indoors, and don't come out until they leave. Don't come out of your homes. Just stay hidden."
After that, my mom told me to go upstairs as my other two siblings (REAL siblings, not some dream-phase ones that your mind makes up or anything) were already in hiding, since she had told them to hide straight away, but couldn't with me since I had been out. I asked her: "What about you?" and she replied with: "Oh... well... I'll probably be dead by then, anyway." - I had NO idea what she was talking about, but didn't question any more. I went to hide. I called out to my siblings and they let me know their whereabouts (under the bed, behind various boxes and play-toys, etc. SO I went to find even more things to fill up the other bed so it didn't look too strange. But then we all heard something, and I dived straight under the bed with my other two siblings. We heard something coming up the stairs, and my brother was almost crying. I shushed him as quiet as I could.
And then it came in. And it was literally just an ordinary man (assuming in build and such) with a full-body, black cloak on, and a hood concealing it's face - it looked like there was nothing there for it's face. It was obviously not human, because it didn't seem to acknowledge anything around it, nor did it do anything but scan the room. We all stayed silent and dead still, and then after about ten seconds, it left the room. No noise, no haste, no anything, it just left, as if it were casually strolling along for nothing.
After a good twenty minutes of staying in hiding, I told the kids that I would go and check downstairs to make sure that nothing else was hiding around, before I went to get some food/drink/whatever to last at least through that day. So I did, and they, surprisingly, did as they were told and stayed put. I went down the stairs, and saw chaos. Literally, everything was upturned, the windows were smashed and there were papers and rubbish all over the floor. And the radio was still running - it was the only thing in the room that wasn't destroyed. Even my mom was laying dead on the floor, and that was when I started getting honestly scared. When that thing came in to the bedroom, I was more curious than anything, almost tempted to come out, but now I was just... horrified.
But I didn't have time to cry/do anything in grief, as I started to shift things together in order to protect my siblings, when suddenly, the radio let out a static noise and a message said: "They cannot die. They cannot be destroyed. All we can do is hide. Hide, and keep on hiding. Always hiding. They will kill you. They will kill you and kill you and kill you, until there's nothing left. They will kill more and more people. They will destroy everything. They will destroy you.
And I just stood there, shocked, and then I woke up.
I'm sorry this is so long and you probably don't care, but it was really REALLY vivid and real; when I woke up, I literally felt like I had to hide until I realised properly that it was just a nightmare. But it was all so... accurate, I mean, my house was the same, my mom was the same (just creepier...), my siblings were the same. And when everything in the room was ruined, there was no noise; no sound. There was no then the table crashed over!!! noise, it was pure silence... so I'm actually really curious.
Damn, this is good fic material...

A few days ago, I had two dreams, which I can (suprisingly) remember them both. The first one didn't make much sense - We where casually driving through town and out into the country. Everyone, everywhere was celebrating about US (no clue why) and there was hot air balloons everywhere. I was counting them. I swear there was a Mew balloon squezed in there somewhere too. Anyway, I counted 85 of them in the end.
Next dream was so realistic, that I seriously swear it was my first lucid dream. I was sitting in my school's library with a bunch of other people. There was this man talking about something to us all. Then we where told to go outside, because it was a full eclipse. This is where it got lucid: It was the middle of the day, and it was really dark out because it was an eclipse. I was thinking of how awesome it was, before I realised that full eclipses like that are very rare, and that I was actually dreaming. Can't remember what happened after that though -.-

- I have claimed the awesome Helioptile -
Yesterday morning I had a bit of an odd dream. It was short, but so clear and detailed it kinda just stuck with me. It starts with me watching some new discovery channel show that pits sharks against divers in an artificial lagoon. This particular episode is especially grisly, 6 divers and 4 sharks, Tiger and Bull sharks, a nasty combination, in nearly chest high, reed filled, murky brown water; not that murkiness matters much as it's a night match, so everything's pitch black except the orange locator lights on the belts of the divers. The sharks have lights strapped to them too, but they don't start blinking until they're within 10 feet of the divers. There's also chum streamers swimming around, these little devices with strings of chum tied to them, they cruise around in the water and also blink when they get within ten feet of the divers. That way they throw the divers off and attract the sharks. The second-to-last diver gets ripped to shreds and so they switch the final diver's helmet cam. He turns and watches what's left of his buddy float by and starts slowly inching forward. A light starts blinking below the surface, so he dives under and jabs at it with his spear. Just a streamer, it zips off. He turns to the left and sees another light blinking in the distance, but only for a second before it cruises back into the dark. He swims towards it then gets pulled back. There's garbled screams , the camera thrashes about, then goes still. The sharks win.
First thought that pops in my head, how on earth did this get past the FCC, and at what point in our society did this this become acceptable entertainment? Then they call me on set, so I leave the green room. Turns out I'm a spotter on this show. It's my job to assist the divers from the shore by handing them equipment and pulling them from the water if they're injured, provided the match in question allows it. This one's supposed to be easy though; tropical setting, bright lighting, clear blue water, no streamers, and only a few Blues and juvenile Great Whites to deal with. It starts out smoothly enough, the divers split into groups of two and start spreading across the pool. The pair nearest to me quickly locate a small Blue shark and start tearing into it. Then a Great White joins the fray, latching onto one of the divers arms. The Blue they were attacking takes advantage of the distraction and rips into the other diver, taking a large triangular chunk from the side of her lower back. The rest of the divers hurry over. The head of the crew, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the host of River Monsters, arrives first and starts pulling the two divers back while shouting orders to the rest. The majority of divers start fending off the rest of the frenzied sharks that have shown up due to all the blood in the water. One finishes off the injured Blue and hands it off to another spotter before joining the rest. As the head diver gets closer to the shallow end where I am, I jump in to the water and he hands me the diver with the chunk taken out of her back before turning back to the other diver who still has a Great White chewing on his arm. I pull out a handful of rags and press them to the wound, attempting to stop the bleeding. The wounds deep, everything's shredded and a bit of rib is poking out. With my free hand I pull off her mask, she's pale and deathly still, it's probably already too late. I close my eyes and focus on healing the wound, thinking I can't just heal the skin, that won't stop internal bleeding, have to get the organs and muscles regenerating too. At this point the logical part of my brain pipes up, reminding me that I don't have magic healing powers and am just wasting my time. I keep at it though, reasoning that it's helping me keep steady pressure on the wound and analyzing it in my head will make it easier to treat. Then I hear a faint voice: "Where'd everybody go?". I look up. The divers awake and the rest are now on the other end of the pool chasing the sharks. I look down at all the blood streaming around my feet and the wide expanse of open water in front of me. The hairs on the back of my neck start to rise. "We gotta get outta here." I say. The Diver can barely whisper "Go, I'm already dead.". Well, that's not in my job description, so I scoop her up in my arms and run for the middle of the pool. I climb onto the ten inch wide, clear, plastic bridge sitting just under the waters surface that the camera crew uses to cross the "lagoon" and book it for the set door. I round the corner and stop by the vending machines. I sit the diver down and check her back, but the wounds healed, all that's left is a large patch of raw skin. As I start thinking maybe I do have magic healing powers, I wake up.
When it comes down to it, no idea's too Farfetch'd when it comes to building a pokemon team.
I drifted off for about 30 minutes earlier in the night, only to dream about mutant Emolgas stalking and monitoring my every move in life, eventually leading to my enslavement and gruesome torture. No, I'm not kidding.
Not going back to sleep anytime soon. I'm spooked.
Under Construction
I'd prefer not to go into the details of this particular one... But I've been having more of my "someone or something gets shot and killed dreams." These have been becoming extremely common, and it's starting to bug me. I haven't had any good dreams, recently.
Well you know how sometimes you can dream really well, and sometimes it never works? Well this is a story of the former. EXTREMELY.
I fell asleep at about 9:30 and I woke in the Dream State (I call it this in my dream journal) and Aqua Rock from Golden Sun: The Lost Age. I wandered around with a bunch of moai heads just staring at me. They just stared, and it gave me the chill. At that moment, it started raining in my dream, (aaaaaand as it turns out, in real life). It was then that I realized I was going to need shelter, but in order to get into the rock, I knew from experience that I'd have to climb it. After climbing up and avoiding the heavy currents, I slipped and fell into a deep lake with a hidden door at the bottom. It was rusted shut, but luckily I have done my fair share of lucid dreaming, so can manage. I smashed the door open with a hammer I found laying near a rock and entered.
Inside the rusted door, I found pieces of old columns and pillars, like the ones you see at greek ruins. As soon as I walked forward into the room, the room turned a deep black since the door had closed behind me. There was nothing visible except a forest green light, and being the genius I am, I decided to walk towards it. I tripped over a few fallen columns, and found my self in a place similar to my house, except everything was reversed. It was a weird thing where I got out of bed but as opposed to getting out of bed on the right, I could only get out to the left. I was in the mirror world.
I walked down stairs to get my things ready for school but then a blue-ish green flame appeared out of nowhere, luckily I was prepared, I took my fire extinguisher I got out of nowhere and proceeded to throw it at that the flame for some strange reason. MY only thought was 'Oh crapola' (Generally I only say or think one or two things through my whole dream. I have no Idea why though, I guess it's like I'm just the silent protagonist of everything.) as the flame explode upon me, waking me up.
I looked at the clock, after writing this in my journal. It was 2:31 a.m.
I fell back to sleep after about 15 minutes, and this is where things get a bit... different.
I woke up in a room the looked oddly like a cross between Lance's Champion room and Iris' battle area. Across the room there was a girl who went to my school who was known for being really cool and athletic. She came up to me and handed me a sword. She then said: "Take this, we're going to play a game, the loser dies. The game is a sword fight and we're going to fight it until the death." She then proceed to walk across the hall, and she drew her sword.
The sword fight began between us and after what seemed like forever she managed to cut my arm and she drew a star on it. I then screamed so loudly it seemed like I screamed in real life. I then found a way to trick her (I can't remember what happened during this part) by stabbing her chest twice. She then crumpled up into a giant ball and turned into a black hole. Her body then circled into black hole and proceed to suck itself into itself. (IT makes sense in context if you knew what it looked like). Once this had happened, a loud beeping, which turned out to be my alarm clock.
So that's it for a few nights ago.
It happened again! Another vivid dream startling me out of slumber.
This time it was about refrigerators and life after humans and.... yeah, in a nutshell, it made no sense at all.
Under Construction
i had a dream journal for a long time, but i looked through it all one day and realized that my dreams are extremely screwed up, and i burned my dream journal for the good of humanity. unfortunately, i have very vivid memory of almost every dream I've ever remembered having. so only i am burdened with my messed up dreams.
PM me if you want to battle! i'm always looking for a good battle!

Ive been having more dreams of my alternate personality, Angel. though it was a lucid dream, i was Angel, and all i did throughout the dream was ask if important people like my parents, family, and teachers knew who Carlos was (me), but no one knew. i was extremely freaked out by this as i could remmember it very clearly, and was able to subconsciously think about what was happening during the dream.

I had a strange dream about 5 years ago. I don't remember much, but I know I was being attacked by a snake in a top hat.
My dreams tend to be me falling. I just woke up from "falling" in a dream.............
I had a dream that Serebii was an actual city, and there was a lot of problems there, like a lot of fighting, and people killing each other. Serebii was known to be the boss of this city, and he wrote a letter to everyone in the city asking what they could do to help prevent all the fighting and killing.
But, it wasn't Serebii who sent the message... Serebii was locked up, deep in a tower... The city was under control by a Crazy, maniacal, short-tempered, flamboyant, destructive, and cruel psychopath, who only takes joy in killing people. His name... is Kefka Palazzo, a jester with crazy and corrupt magical power. He's lost his own mind, thus going crazy. At this time in my dream, he had already destroyed the city, and he had become Kefka, the mad god...
Kefka ruled over the city for 20 more years, killing people, destroying the city, and causing pain and misery. That all stopped until I was born... Along with the following people:
Jess - A Tactical and Understanding girl trained in the ways of the Scythe.
Anna - A Girl whom I have a ultra huge crush on in the dream, she doesn't specialize in anything, but she's very versatile and can use both offensive magic and healing magic. She also wields two small swords.
Silver - A Calm, Cool boy who uses a Katana for battle.
Tori - Tori is Carefree, Fun, and Humorous girl whom specializes in all healing magic, only to be surpassed by Kefka.
Harom - Harom is Tori's boyfriend, he is skilled in Martial Arts, thus using his hands and feet for fighting. He also uses one really strong Fire spell RARELY.
Then there's me... I am a specially gifted person with the Darkness and Light in me, allowing me to change from Dark Knight to Paladin forms. I do not use much magic, but I wield a dual-sided gunblade and fan. I can also revert to my normal form.
After I was born, my friends and I lived off of all we could, seeing our loved ones get killed and in pain... Eventually, we went into hiding which led to our weapon/magic training. Then, I as I started to develop feelings for one of my friends, I thought that, I'd probably lose my mind even more than I have, if anything happened to her or my friends.... So, "Let's strike back at Kefka!"
My friends felt scared and said that they'd be killed as soon as they got into his tower. But I told them that as long as we're together, we have nothing to fear and that we will leave that tower with Kefka defeated and/or killed. Most likely the last one.
And finally, we went through the 11 floors of Kefka's Tower, only to be stopped at the 11th by the Warring Triad and Kefka's "Final Tower of Monsters" which leads way up into the sky above the clouds.
After fighting those bosses, the party then made their way up through the final tower, and confronted Kefka, the mad god...
Sadly, I woke up after we confronted Kefka. ^^;
Damn, this is good fic material... Oh, and- Damn, I've been listening to too much Final Fantasy VI Music...
Bug Pokémon paradise dream, happened after watching G-Dragon's Butterfly where he goes on a meth trip.
Beautifly's and Sewaddle resided peacefully in this forest of dead Sudowoodo and tree. Snorlaxes with Drapion tails began to attack us and we all got into a fused version of Lugia and Ho-Oh but it looked like Hitmonlee. Then the village of Leavanny got mad at me for endangering the Sewaddly. And then Macklemore and Psy turned me into a Swadloon. I hopped around and some italian and his surskit gave me bread for me to deliver to Obama's bad lip reading.
This was basically my dream for eight hours throuhgout the night Tuesday.
I had this dream that my school's cafeteria was underwater. There was a water amusement park there, too. Then I left and I walked up stairs to look for one of my counselors (at my camp). There's no library upstairs, and I was the in library (which is in the basement). I couldn't find him, and apparently no one else could because a few of my friends were there, too. Then this creepy janitor said to get out.
Then I woke up.
I've had so many weird dreams that I can't count how many I've had.

Mom's favorite
I bought this for my mother a few years ago when she still lived nearby. Now she's in Florida and when I found out we'd be doing Christmas in FL this year she immediately emailed me to ask if I could get her more of this soap. She's not one for scented lotions, but she loves her shower gels and bath soaps and this one is her favorite.

Agave Nectar
I was so pleasantly surprised to find out that Agave Nectar is essentially "grapefruit" and I love its refreshing citrusy smell! My favorite Thymes changed to Agave Nectar as soon as I tried it.
Refreshingly Hypnotic!
This body wash has an amazing citrus scent with just a hint of sweetness. It's refreshing and also lathers really well. My boyfriend discovered this when he took a shower at my place and even commented on how much he loved it. Looks like I will be stocking up for myself and now my boyfriend! My new favorite body wash, hands down...you must try it! You won't be disappointed!

Another Hoppy Hour video: this one's about six minutes long. At this event, there were three Flemish Giants (as well as a young one that didn't go out on the mat this time). You can see in a couple of shots how much larger they are than Dougal.
I recommend watching this one on YouTube at the highest resolution your connection can handle.
UPDATE: Sorry, everyone, my goof. The video is now public.
Thanks again to the Golden Valley Humane Society for hosting.

A rendering by Sparkman and Associates Architects of what the Princess Theater will look like once restoration work is completed. It's as close to its original 1939 appearance as possible.
Harriman Mayor Chis Mason made the restoration of the Princess Theater his primary goal, which he believes will help revitalize Harriman's waning downtown.
Painter Tim Plemons points out the painstaking work required to repaint the auditorium's ceiling to new theater manager Megan Anderson.
Using postcards of the time, Daniel Cooter of Sparkman & Associates Architects was able to replicate the 1939 paint schemes for the Princess Theater, as originally designed by Joe Vargas.
Architect Frank Sparkman (above) developed therestoration plan for the Princess Theater, which also expanded its performance facilities.
Roane State's Matt Waters manages Channel 15, a government educational station located in a state-of-the-art studio next door to the Princess and which also serves as a TV lab for students.
The main auditorium of the Princess Theater (seen here with its reconstruction nearly complete) will seat around 700 patrons between the main floor and the balcony; 200 seats were removed to create a performance stage.
The front page of the Nov. 16, 1939 special section in the Harriman Record celebrating the opening of the all-new Princess Theater, which replaced a previous theater that had burned down.

Regardless of what happens these next few games, it's pretty much a given Philbin and Tannehill are still with us next year. I'm not saying they've been perfect...far from it, but you can't give up on them after one year especially with the lack of playmakers/game changers they've had to work with this season. It's Ireland who needs a good showing from the team to cool down his already burning seat.
Again, Id love to upgrade the secondary and add a pass rusher, but Im not willing to do it at the expense of not acquiring a player on offense. In other words if we hit a draft spot and its good CB or any good offensive position..... take the offensive player. If we have just enough cash to sign a FA offensive player or a CB but only one of those..... sign the offensive player. The defense is capable with exactly the personel it has right now. It could definately get better, but it isnt pathetic. Its capabale.
As far as if we lose some of these last 3 games and the articles about "is Philbin the right guy" or "is Tannehill the future"...... who cares. I mean, its the NFL. Anytime youre in a public spotlight like that, youre going to face criticism. The facts are that no matter what happens Philbin will be our HC next season and Tannehill will be our QB. If people want to post stupid **** or Omar wants to write his columns..... let em. Who gives a ****? All that will matter is how they perform next season. The results will speak for themselves. These last 3 games are meaningless.
If we lose all 3 and Hayden Fox says its because Philbin lost the locker room.... let him. Philbin may or may not make him look foolish next year. I know if he does, I wouldnt be allowed to bump the thread for some reason.
If Tannehill plays like dog**** for 3 more games on top of the 6 or so he has already then people should question whether or not he is the guy we have all wanted for 12 years now. It wont change the fact he will have more games next season to prove whether or not he is.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
I just want this fricken season to end. I want Ireland fired and a competent GM brought in. We need to look towards 2013 and better things on the horizon
Please God, let me see 1 Dolphins Superbowl victory before I die.
It's a valid point. Jeff Ireland is fighting for next season and Joe Philbin, whether he realizes it or not, is fighting for 2014. Philbin is certain to return next season but if this year ends with a wobble then doubts surface toward Philbin and he might not be able to afford a similar 6-10 record next year.
If we win the next two games, the team is viewed positively and the missed field goals early in the season are spotlighted. Philbin won't be in any jeopardy a year from now, barring a disastrous record, and Ireland is safe into 2013.
Lose this game and we're the worst team in the league. That's how perception attaches these days. Reporters are expected to overreact. That's what fans want. Hence the Adam Schefter opinion. Skip Holtz was fine one week and out the door the next week, after a lopsided home defeat before a sparse crowd. Mario Cristobal was recruiting one night and called into the athletic director's office the next morning. That's college but the dynamic is identical, if not beyond, in the pros.
I have no idea how the two local writers asserted Jeff Ireland was safe, not with the scheduling realities. The crowds will resemble a Canes game the next two weeks. I guarantee you'll have photos showing up prominently on the internet, with the franchise mocked. This week is the crucial one. A win over Buffalo will do little to ease or reverse the guaranteed fan and media implosion if Jacksonville celebrates on our field.
The good news is Jacksonville is borderline inept in many categories, with a horrendous YPPA Differential. Miami goes from playing on the road against an excellent pass defense to "home" versus one of the worst.
Road teams with horrendous records generally play with pride on the road late in the season. Jacksonville will be ready to go early, like Kansas City on the first possession last week. If you smack them around defensively it's a jolt and they might cave. I'm not saying Miami will win big but there is a chance, unlike the two previous games we were favored by more than a field goal. St. Louis and Tennessee are markedly better than the Jaguars.
These last games are completely meaningless. We have 5 picks in the earley rounds of the draft, and if we ever needed those picks to be as early as possible it is now. So if we win now, just remember the feeling when our idiot gm is packaging picks to move up 5 spots to get a player we could have had if we lost. So we beat Jerksonville, they are horrible, or FLuffalo, another terrible team, all it gets you is worse draft order, thats it. People are worried about confidence, we won 3 straight games, sure didn't stop us from laying and egg in 5 of the next 6 games. It's about the future right now, and that future is players we need to get, not the scrubs we have now. I never flat out root for a loss, but i won't be crying in my milk if they do. If Philibin has any brains, he will be playing every rookie and young player we have the rest of the season. Evaluate what you have. and start getting in position for what you need. And for the love of God, fire Ireland before he sets us back another decade !!!
For someone that is a huge Joe Philbin guy I am surprised that you do not think him finishing the season strong is vital to his actual existence as a HC. I have sneaking suspicion that Joe would agree with my take more than yours.
The point is things will get very ugly for the people at the top of this organization if they lose this week. If you do not think that is the case, you are kidding yourself.
For the record, I DO think the Fins will win this week in an ugly dog fight of a game...it will not be pretty, but a win nonetheless.
This organization needs a win.

Flims Laax, also known as Laax, is only 2 hours from Zürich airport and is the largest linked ski area in Graubunden. Made up of three neighbouring resorts, Flims Laax and Falera each catering to a different type of guest. Laax is well-known amongst snowboarders and skiers, and is the perfect base for a week of exploring the runs and off-piste areas. Flims is ideal for those more interested in winter walking and hiking as well as cross-country skiing and has a strong focus on wellness, whilst Falera is great for families looking for a peaceful location.
After a long day on the mountain, enjoy a couple of beers and some hearty Bavarian cuisine at the microbrewery Aktienbrauerei in Flims Waldhaus or head to Arena Flims for après drinks followed by dancing until the early hours in the club. Those with a sweet tooth will enjoy the cakes on offer at Café La Punt in Falera. For something a little different, head to Flims where the restaurant Caverna is located in candlelit cellars over 430 years old!
Travelling to Laax from Zurich airport is extremely convenient with the LAAX shuttle. Running for the duration of the 2013/14 season on Thursdays, Saturdays and and Sundays. The shuttle stop is easily accessible and sits directly in front of the airport building. Reservations for this service are required at least 48 hours prior to departure and it provides an excellent, cost effecieant and easy way to transfer between the airport and resort.
From Laax, you can reach the other Graubünden ski resorts of Davos-Klosters and Arosa.

text: The "wunderkind" of Czech basketball was recently voted the country's top player for 2013 and arguably has the potential to become the leader of the national team. Satoransky learned basketball in Prague with the junior teams of USK but evidently what helped make him a complete player is rubbing shoulders against the very best in the tough world of Liga Endesa with Cajasol in Spain, where he moved at age 17. His first shot to fame with the Sevilla club came during the Eurocup Final in 2011 (where they lost to Unics Kazan) but last season Satoransky transformed into one of the Cajasol front-runners in Liga Endesa, averaging almost 29 minutes on the floor 12 points, three rebounds and four assists-per-game (second overall in the league!), earning joint-MVP honours at the club, alongside American Latavious Williams. Satoransky is the archetype of the modern point guard - tall, slim and with a tendency for the spectacular - he has entered and won the dunk contest of Liga Endesa on two occasions. Led the national team in minutes on the floor (30) and assists-per-game (4.6) during the EuroBasket 2013 Qualification Round. He was selected by the Washington Wizards at number 32 in the 2012 NBA Draft and many expected him to make the move to DC this summer but the Wizards asked him to spend one more year in Europe.

Clooney and Keibler at the 2013 Academy Awards (Getty Images)
"It happened recently, but things didn't end on bad terms," an insider tells omg!. "Work and busy schedules kept them apart."
People magazine, which first reported the news, claimed the couple separated over Keibler's desire to have children.
"Stacy called it quits," a source close to the couple told the magazine. "She wants to have children and a family someday. She knows where George stands on that."
However, sources tell omg! that is inaccurate.
"That's not what happened," second insider tells omg!. "Kids, a family, George's stance? That had nothing to do with it."
In fact, Keibler, 33, has even said numerous times before that she "lives in the moment," rather than thinking ahead about marriage and kids.
"That is not on my radar at all," Keibler told E! Online last fall. "I'm definitely the girl who doesn't talk about that kind of stuff. I'm not really interested in thinking about marriage or kids at all ... I'm more of a guy that way."
When reached for comment, a rep for the 52-year-old actor replied, "George has never commented on his personal life and neither will I."
Omg! has reached out to a rep for Keibler as well but has not yet received a response.

Speculation about a breakup reached a crescendo during 4th of July weekend when Clooney was photographed without Keibler at his vacation home in Lake Como, Italy. Meanwhile, she posted a couple of photos from Malibu on her Instagram over the holiday, including one of herself with another guy (although it's unclear who he is).

The last time the couple actually was seen together was on March 21 in Berlin, when Keibler was photographed visiting Clooney on the set of his upcoming film "The Monuments Men."

The most telltale sign of trouble in recent months took place over Memorial Day weekend, when Clooney was photographed leaving a London club at 3 a.m., around the same time a former flame of his named Monika Jakisic was also exiting.
Clooney's rep issued a statement from the actor at the time saying, "The story is made up. I wasn't holding anybody's hand. Stop trying to sell magazines by creating scandal that isn't there." The strong denial spoke volumes, but, interestingly, contained no mention of Keibler.
That same weekend, Keibler was just a hop, skip, and a jump away, also in Europe. The former professional wrestler had a "zip slip" wardrobe malfunction in Monte Carloat the Formula One F1 Grand Prix event.
Keibler's been busy recently promoting her new game show, "Supermarket Superstar," which premieres July 22 on Lifetime, while Clooney has been continuing to shoot "The Monuments Men" in Europe, which he wrote, and is directing and starring in.
Below is a brief timeline of Keibler and Clooney's tumultuous 2013.
January 9: Clooney releases his sexy new ad for his Casamigos tequila with friend Rande Gerber. The ad also stars Keibler, along with Gerber's wife, Cindy Crawford.
January 13: Clooney and Keibler appear on the Golden Globes red carpet together, doing shots of his tequila with "omg! Insider."
February 24: Clooney and Keibler appear happy walking the Oscars red carpet together.
March 6: Us Weekly reports "the end is near" for Clooney and Keibler.
March 14: Split rumors head into overdrive. However, Keibler tweets a photo of herself jetting off to Berlin to visit her beau.
March 15: Date night! Keibler and Clooney are photographed leaving Berlin Royal Grill, where Matt Damon had joined them.
March 21: Keibler is spotted visiting Clooney on set in Berlin.
April: Clooney is seen around Berlin, while Keibler is spotted in Los Angeles.
May 1: Clooney is still in Berlin filming.
May 3: Keibler in seen in Barcelona.
May 6: Keibler stuns on the red carpet in a Rachel Roy dress at the Met Gala, but she's missing one key accessory — Clooney.
May 12: Clooney and Damon hang at his home in Lake Como, Italy.
May 23: Keibler continues to party it up at the Cannes Film Festival, and attends amfAR gala, sans Clooney.
May 23: Clooney enjoys some downtime in London, and is spotted dining at Nobu with friends.
May 25: Clooney is spotted out at a member's only club — Loulou's — in the Mayfair neighborhood of London until 3 a.m. Life & Style reports that Clooney held hands with ex-girlfriend, Croatian model Monika Jakisic. Clooney later strongly denies this, an odd move for the actor to make if things with Keibler were really fizzling: "The story is made up. I wasn't holding anybody's hand. Stop trying to sell magazines by creating scandal that isn't there."
May 26: Keibler has a wardrobe malfunction in Monaco.
Weekend of June 8-9: Keibler hits the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado, sharing a photo of herself being photobombed by a belly-flopping dog, while Clooney is in the U.K. filming "The Monuments Men," co-starring Matt Damon, Jean Dujardin, and Bill Murray.

Best Uses
I bought this to wear on vacation in Denver in February. I think it will be perfect. It's lightweight yet toasty warm. I did not notice it running slightly big like other reviewers have stated. It slips on easily over layers.
Best Uses
I have been looking for a coat just like this for years. The liner has substance to it...not just a silky liner...it is quilted. Nice and warm and stylish. I have received several compliments on the coat, even from complete strangers!
And yes, it does run a bit big compared to other brands, but I do not mind that at all. I can actually where heavy layers under it and still zip it up and not look like I was poured into the coat.
Best Uses
I love the coat, but ordered down a size based on a review that it ran big. However, I should have stuck to my actual size, as it is too small and will have to return. Unfortunately, it is no longer available in the size I need.
Best Uses
I am a size 8 and ordered the medium and it is roomy enough to layer underneath, but doesn't look baggy. The upper pockets to place your hands in make this jacket! I also have really long arms and the medium arm length is wonderful. If you don't have long limbs :) and want it to fit a bit snugger order a size down.
Best Uses
Great quality jacket. Have been looking for a wool coat for many years to replace my old wool coat. Finally found it! It does run big though. I had to exchange for a smaller size.

Friday, September 13, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (September 13, 2002) - Head coach Deane Webb knew that his East Tennessee State volleyball team needed a big win in order to bust out of its current slump. On Friday night the Buccaneers got off to a slow start against visiting Chattanooga, losing the first game 30-26, but ETSU rattled off three consecutive victories over the Lady Mocs to take the match 3-1 in front of its home fans in Brooks Gym. For a minute it looked as if the Bucs would let the second game slip away until freshman Nicole Ryan (Etiwanda, Calif.) caught on fire. The 5'11" outside hitter sparked a late-game rally to lead East Tennessee State to a dramatic 33-31 victory. Ryan finished the evening with 28 kills, which was one kill shy of breaking the school's record for kills in a four-game match. ETSU then dominated game three, 30-15, before securing the match with a 30-28 decision in game four. "There were spots where we played very well, particularly in game three," said Webb. "At the end of the match I looked out on the floor and saw five freshman and one sophomore. This win was a great character building experience for our young players." Freshman Katie Ralph (Seattle, Wash.) teamed up with Ryan and came on strong in games three and four, finishing the match with 19 kills on 33 attempts (.485). "Nicole and Katie really established themselves as leaders on this team tonight," said Webb. "It was a breakthrough night for both of them." Jody Steinberger and Kari Krouse led Chattanooga with 18 and 12 kills, respectively, and setter Jessica Woodby tallied 39 assists. For the ETSU, sophomore Karen Freeburg (New Castle, Ind.) continued to play well defensively registering 18 digs, and freshman Renee Vesey served up 53 assists. Now, ETSU will have some time off now before traveling to Georgia Southern on Sunday, Sept. 22. The Buccaneers will be hosting a middle school tournament on Saturday, Sept. 14, and will be back into the gym for practice the following Monday. In the meantime, Webb and the Lady Bucs will enjoy the win over Chattanooga, but they realize there is still much work to be done. "Again, tonight was a great win for this team and we appreciate all of the fans coming out to support us, especially the 'bleacher creatures' with their painted chests," Webb added. "But we can't rest on our laurels. We get a few days off from playing now and we have to use this time to improve in practice."

American roots traditionalist Tara Nevins releases an exploration of her own heritage, musical and otherwise, in Wood and Stone, her first solo album since Mule to Ride in 1999. Wood and Stone showcases her ever-evolving repertoire as she journeys both back to her own "roots" and head-long into new territory.
Fans of Nevins from her 21-year tenure with Donna the Buffalo are familiar with her versatile talents; she shares the vocal and songwriting responsibilities for the band and is a stellar musician on fiddle, guitar, and accordion. (She plays a mean scrubboard too.) Prior to DTB, Nevins was a founding member of the all-female, old time/Cajun band The Heartbeats. (They join her on two tracks here as well.) Wood and Stone delivers the musical expertise fans have come to expect and surprises with new perspectives.

In mammals and birds the external reproductive organs and waste removal organs see to be the same. Is this always the case with other animals such as insects etc...? Are there any good reasons for it?
Take the 2-minute tour ×

The cloaca, which is the common opening of the urinary, excretory, and reproductive systems, is present in birds as well as in non-avian reptiles (and thus presumably dinosaurs), amphibians, and monotremes (e.g., duck-billed platypus). To answer your first question, yes, this condition does seem to be universal for those groups mentioned above.
To answer your second question, evolutionary history is as good a reason as I can think of. The cloacal system has worked well enough for >350 million years (in the case of amphibians).
