What is the current status of the project?
The new Santa Barbara Criminal Courthouse is in the architectural design-preliminary plans phase. Project construction start date is to be determined. This schedule is subject to change.
Why does Santa Barbara County need a new courthouse?
The Superior Court of Santa Barbara County serves South County residents from the historic Anacapa Courthouse, the Figueroa Division across the street, and the nearby Jury Services building. The Court has criminal courtrooms in both courthouses, but these courtrooms and supporting facilities no longer function well for criminal proceedings. The Anacapa Courthouse, built in 1929—a National and State Historic Landmark—lacks entrance security screening. The courthouse also has no holding cells. In-custody detainees must be escorted from the Figueroa Division, across the same street used by court users and tourists visiting the historic courthouse. At the Figueroa Division, those in custody must travel from holding cells in the basement to the courtrooms through corridors used by the public and court staff. Both situations create serious security risks. In addition, these overcrowded facilities have severe physical, functional, accessibility, and efficiency issues, limiting access to justice for South County residents. Examples include:
What is the plan for the new courthouse?
The New Santa Barbara Criminal Courthouse will include eight courtrooms in approximately 92,000 square feet. The new courthouse will increase efficiency and security by consolidating all criminal and traffic court operations into one modern, secure building for South County residents. It will also co-locate jury services with the criminal courtrooms. The new facility will relieve the historic Anacapa Courthouse of criminal proceedings and will replace the Figueroa Division and the Jury Services building The project will also provide basic services not currently provided to South County residents due to limited space, including appropriately sized courtrooms, jury deliberation rooms, an adequately sized self-help center, a children's waiting room, attorney/client conference rooms, and accessibility for people with disabilities. Enhanced security features will include entrance screening of all court users, a secure sallyport, adequately sized in-custody holding and improved life safety, providing better access to justice for South County Santa Barbara residents.
Was renovation considered before the plan to build a new courthouse was decided on?
The Judicial Council evaluated renovation of the Figueroa Division and found that it would not be feasible, due to the building's critical physical problems, and space, accessibility, seismic, and security issues. Renovating the courthouse, including an addition to solve the space issues, would cost as much or more as building a new courthouse.
Who is the Judicial Council, and why are they managing this project
The Judicial Council is the policymaking body for the California court system, including the trial courts, known as Superior Courts, based in each county. Among other responsibilities, the council through its Capital Program office is responsible for planning, acquisition, design, renovation, and construction of court facilities. The new courthouse will be owned by the judicial branch.

Judicial Council Staff
How has the local community had input regarding the courthouse project
The Project Advisory Group, required by Rules of Court and state law, is the main source of ongoing community input to the project. The Project Advisory Group is composed of community, legal, and government leaders. Judicial Council staff work with the group throughout the site selection, design, and construction process. In addition, project updates will be posted to the California Courts website, and media advisories will be distributed at key milestones.
Unique to this project is the Design Advisory Group. Made up of members of the local community, the Design Advisory Group provides input during the design phase of the new courthouse at identified milestones. The group was formed in recognition of the unique and historic nature of downtown Santa Barbara and the effort to ensure community input.
Council staff will also hold public meetings at key milestones in the design process to ensure the community is informed about the project and will solicit input regarding the project design. These meetings will include the participation of the city's Historic Landmarks Commission and Planning Commission.
These three vehicles are being established so that the project architect is able to develop a building that meets the court's operational needs, as well as reflects community input. The architect is committed to producing a highly functional, high-quality courthouse design that will complement and enhance the architectural context of historic, downtown Santa Barbara.
What will happen to the court's current facilities when the new courthouse is completed?
Prior to construction, the Court will vacate the Figueroa Division, which will be demolished to make way for the new criminal courthouse. When the new courthouse is completed, the historic Anacapa Courthouse will continue to hear civil cases. The County, which owns the Jury Services building, will decide what to do with that facility when the court vacates it.
TOPIC MENU--click topic of your choice
Where will the new courthouse be located?
The new courthouse will be located across the street from the historic Anacapa Courthouse.
What was the process used to select the site?
Judicial Council staff worked closely with the Superior Court and the Project Advisory Group, which includes community, legal, and government leaders to determine the preferred and alternate site. Council staff followed a standard site selection process. The process involved objectively evaluating potential sites and selecting at least two sites that met agreed-upon criteria for the proposed new courthouse in providing access to justice for residents of Santa Barbara County, within the confines of the project's budget and schedule.
Why does the Judicial Council decide where the new court is built? Why isn't this a County decision?
Historically, trial courts functioned largely as county departments, but that changed in 2002, with passage of the Trial Court Facilities Act. This law made the State of California responsible for court facilities statewide, rather than the counties. The law gave the Judicial Council responsibility for facilities owned or occupied by the courts and made it responsible for operations, maintenance, and repairs, as well as site acquisition, planning, design, and construction of capital projects that replace or renovate courthouses. Council staff work closely with each affected Superior Court and the Project Advisory Group throughout the site selection process.
Was an environmental review completed for the project?
The Judicial Council was the lead agency for the environmental review for the new courthouse under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff completed a thorough analysis of the proposed project before filing a Notice of Exemption on April 12, 2011.
Will the new building be energy-efficient and sustainably designed?
Yes. The building will be designed with attention to sustainability. The building's sustainability features are expected to qualify it for a LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. This is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance "green" buildings.
How is the new courthouse being funded?
The courthouse was ranked as an "Immediate Need" in the judicial branch's capital-outlay plan, making it among the branch's highest-priority infrastructure projects. It is funded by Senate Bill 1407, enacted in 2008 to provide up to $5 billion in bond funding for new and renovated courthouses using court fees, penalties, and assessments rather than taxpayer revenues from the state's General Fund.
How did the state arrive at its budget for the project?
Council staff develop each project budget by first determining the building size, site size, and number of parking spaces. Then it provides this information to a professional cost estimating firm that creates a hard construction cost for the building and site work. To this, staff add all project soft costs, which includes all costs associated with evaluating, selecting, and acquiring a site, analysis required to comply with CEQA, the fee for the architecture and engineering team, geotechnical testing, project management and construction management fees, commissioning fees, and the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
How can the state afford a new courthouse at all, given current state finances?
To fund desperately needed renovations and repairs, criminal penalties and assessments, parking offense penalties, and civil filing fees were created or increased. This ensured a revenue stream to finance courthouse construction and renovations, promising these projects would be paid for from within the court system rather than drawing on the state's General Fund or local taxes. When the project is ready for construction, the state will sell bonds to finance the project. Once the courthouse is completed and occupied, the same revenue stream will repay those bonds over 25 years.
What is the impact of the state's current budget crisis on this project?
Since 2009, $1.5 billion in court construction funds have been borrowed, swept to the General Fund, or redirected to court operations. As a result, this project, as with other courthouse projects statewide, has been subjected to delays. In addition, every Senate Bill 1407 project has been required by the Judicial Council to undergo budget reductions. These reductions are overseen by a statewide oversight committee of justices, judges, and public building experts established by the Judicial Council.
Who is the architect on the project?
The Santa-Monica based architectural firm of Moore Ruble Yudell was selected to design the new Santa Barbara County Courthouse. In business for over 30 years, the company provides architecture and sustainable design services and urban planning and interior design for civic, government, education, and transportation and mixed-use projects. The firm's award-winning work includes the Robert E. Coyle Federal Courthouse in Fresno, the Darling Law Library at UCLA, and the United States Embassy in Berlin, Germany.
How are the architects for courthouse construction projects selected?
Judicial Council staff follow a competitive, qualifications-based process to select the architects. Qualifications under consideration include the experience of the design and technical staff, the previous experience of the firm, and other criteria. Once the firm is selected, the fee is negotiated, and an award is made.
What are the key milestones in designing the courthouse?
Where can I see renderings of the new courthouse?
When available, renderings will be posted on the project web page under the GALLERY tab.
Will the new courthouse be energy-efficient and sustainably designed?
Most courthouse projects funded by SB 1407 are being designed to qualify for LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. This is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance "green" buildings. The courthouse design will meet the energy-efficiency requirements set forth in LEED as well as by California Energy Code.
Who will build the new courthouse?
A Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) will be selected through a request for Qualifications and Proposals.
How will the CMAR be selected?
The CMAR will be selected through a competitive process factoring in qualitative criteria, such as the firm's experience, as well as the contractor's fee. The CMAR is retained early in the project for preconstruction services. Following a competitive bid for all subcontracts and the approval to award, the CMAR becomes the general contractor. Selection criteria include an evaluation of the firm's plan for outreach to local subcontractors, ensuring that qualified local firms are fully aware of the bidding opportunity, the process, and the timeline.
What are the Judicial Council's policies with regard to local hiring and purchasing during design and construction? How will members of the public find out about these opportunities?
Once bonds are sold for this project and it is ready to be put out to bid, the construction manager at risk will become the general contractor. Before the project goes into construction, the contractor will conduct an outreach to local subcontractors, ensuring that qualified local firms are fully aware of the bidding opportunity, process, and timeline. All qualified subcontractors, lower-tier subcontractors, and suppliers will be considered.
What are the key milestones in building the courthouse?
When will the courthouse be completed and operational?
This project is currently in preliminary plans phase with construction start date to be determined.

|Grand Superior Lodge's BLU ice bar takes inspiration from the Split Rock Lighthouse. Lake Superior helps keep it cool.
By Lisa McClintick
|Costumes add to the fun of the Pout Plunge that's part of Walker's Eelpout Festival.
Take warm welcome of Minnesota Nice, nip it with winter temps, and you get Minnesota Ice in all its quirky glory.
I used to think cabin fever inspired the more creative antics and winter traditions here in the north, but it's not just Minnesota. Case in point: Red Bull brought its international Crashed Ice championship to St. Paul two weeks ago. Picture plunging down an icy luge on skates with roller-derby demons.
It's always good to have a fresh, heart-pounding or light-hearted twists on traditional winter fun. Here's a rundown on other Minnesota winter festivals and events to celebrate throughout February, from glitzy ice bars to ice fishing fun:
|Guzzling icy shots at Chase on the Lake's Eelpout ice bar.
According to Grand Superior Lodge's ice sculpting expert Chris Sworbrick, its BLU Ice Bar and Lounge is the longest running outdoor ice bar in the continental United States. It has the added advantage of a Lake Superior location, which offers the soundtrack of waves and a natural coolant to keep the 12-foot sculpture of Split Rock Lighthouse from melting early.
This year's version of BLU is triple last year's size and features ice chandeliers, a wall lit like the northern lights, ice-carved shot glasses, a bonfire and specialty bar foods such as oyster shooters and North Shore sushi. The ice benches are fur-lined, but probably not the best place to wear a thong without a layer of long underwear.
Head up the shore, and Caribou Highlands' Moguls restaurant and lounge has its own ice bar at Lutsen Mountains. It's ideally located for ski-in and ski-out options. If you're in the mood to party, there's a "Shot-ski," which is carved in ice and delivers a shot to four people at once.
If you're more of a city slicker, Rochester throws quite a happy hour with its downtown SocialICE. The event, anchored by a 200-foot ice bar plus eight new satellite bars, drew more than 11,000 participants last year. The 500 ice martini glasses sold out in 30 minutes.
SocialICE runs from 4:30 to 9 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 9, through Saturday, Feb. 11. Live music starts at 7 p.m.
Head north for eelpout antics
|Walker's Pout Plunge into Leech Lake.
Our favorite event is the Pout Plunge. It's family-friendly and hilarious to see what costumes are worn by the brave--and dare I say crazy?--folks willing to jump into frigid Leech Lake for a good cause. Read more from last year's Eelpout Festival feature.
|Brainerd's ice-fishing extravaganza on Gull Lake.
Finally, for a fun, holy-cow kind of experience, try your luck at the world's largest charitable ice-fishing contest: the legendary Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing extravaganza. Usually in January, it got bumped to Saturday, Feb. 11, when winter started with a whimper. You need seriously chilly temperatures to drill more than 10,000 holes into Gull Lake. It's a mind-boggling sight to see. Read more about Brainerd's ice-fishing extravaganza.

PHOTO: 'Pretty Little Liars' cast poses for 'GQ'
The cast members of "Pretty Little Liars" strip down to bikinis for GQ and talk about what they'd love to do next professionally.
"I'd want to do a Woody Allen film, in all honesty," says Ashley Benson.
Troian Bellisario tells the outlet she'd like to do "Shakespeare in the Park. Maybe play Lady Macbeth."
"I want to go on tour!" declares Lucy Hale, who does indeed have a country music career underway.
As for Shay Mitchell, the actress would love "an action movie I could star in and do all the stunts. Like scaling a building and then it blowing up?"
When Benson suggests that Mitchell could be the first female James Bond, she agrees: "I would be so down for that."

Evolution Hoax
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on Kanal Avrupa and Çay TV dated 21 November 2010
ADNAN OKTAR: "You will fight the Jews and slay them. So that even stones will say, 'O Muslim, a Jew is hiding behind me, come and slay him." That is in Bukhari, in Manahim, Muslim and Tirmidhi. "You will fight the Jews and slay them." If a Jewish person is an atheist and if he attacks Muslims and sheds blood, if he kills children and other people, then you are perfectly justified in defending yourself. In this hadith our Prophet (saas) is talking about legitimate self-defense, but it would be a sin to go and kill an innocent Jew. "So that even stones will say, 'O Muslim, a Jew is hiding behind me, come and slay him'." Now let us think of a child 3 or 4 years old. He is behind a stone, and we hear the stone say, "O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him." That means you are hallucinating. Shaytan is speaking to you. Killing children, killing innocent people, killing women is not acceptable. Right? I mean you can only protect yourself in legitimate self-defense, or in terms of retaliation, as a retaliation for someone else. Apart from that, if a Muslim kills someone intentionally and deliberately, and if the family demands that he be punished, then the idea of a life for a life does exist in Islamic law. But apart from that, killing is not acceptable. Therefore, if we see a Jewish child hiding behind a stone and a voice comes from that stone, we would say, "I must be hallucinating." We would not obey that voice. If a psychopath turns up one day and says; "stones and bits of wood spoke to me, so I went off and killed Jews," what are we to say to that? Right? If he kills 10 Jewish children, may Allah forbid. So?. When we asked; "Where did you get that idea from, why did you do it?" If he says "the stone spoke to me that is why I did so," we would realize that he is crazy. And that person would thus be committing murder, he would be an assassin. I mean he thus had literally committed murder, he became a persecutor and his reward for that would be hell. It is meaningless to afflict Muslims with such a twisted logic. We must have a good knowledge of the meaning of the hadith. Our Prophet (saas) is referring to communications in the End Times. For example, he says that "the heels of people's shoes will speak." Heels are made of leather or wood, aren't they? He is referring to some technical device concealed there. We have seen that in recent days. "A telephone has been made for those who often forget their phones." A phone in the heel of a shoe. The telephone rings, you take your shoe off and talk into the heel. Our Prophet (saas) says, "Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not appear and the Day of Reckoning will not come until a person speaks with his shoe." That is a feature of the times of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Rasulullah (saas) is also noting that intelligence gathering will grow in that sense. There will be listening devices in rocks and stones and wood and everywhere. There will be micro cameras and intelligence devices. Thus, secret cameras are being installed among rocks out in open land against the PKK, to monitor the PKK's movements. Operations are carried out using information obtained from rocks. Or else they are hidden in trees, inside a tree. Secret cameras are secretly buried inside trees and intelligence gathered in that way. This refers to a system that will be developed in defensive war. Our Prophet (saas) described how advanced technology will be used in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Otherwise, killing the innocent is a sin. No Jew was ever killed like that in the time of our Prophet (saas). No Christian was ever killed. Our Prophet (saas) personally took his turban off and spread it on the ground, didn't he? The People of the Book sat on it; our Prophet (saas) paid tribute to them and showed them respect. Muslims in the time of our Prophet (saas) migrated to Christians and entrusted their lives to them. They became brothers with them, they went to dine with them and shared their food, and they married Christian women. If a stone told a man to kill his wife, would he do it? There are some mentally ill people who say, "I heard a voice telling me to kill my child, so I did." Or "it told me to kill my wife, so I killed her." That is a mental illness. No such thing is acceptable. A Muslim would always be loving and compassionate towards the innocent, insha'Allah.
ALTUĞ BERKER:I am reading verse concerning what you have just said Master. Verse 5 from Surah 5; "Today all good things have been made lawful for you. And the food of those given the Book is also lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. So are chaste women from among the believers and chaste women of those given the Book before you, once you have given them their dowries in marriage, not in fornication or taking them as lovers."
ADNAN OKTAR:Look, one can marry a Christian woman, or a Jewish woman. What are you saying there; "a stone will tell me and I will kill them." Then you marry a woman one day, and the next a voice from a stone tells you to "kill her." So you go and kill your wife. That is the action of a psychopath, isn't it? Why get married in the first place then? What does marriage mean? It means there is love, friendship and sisterhood, doesn't it? She becomes the mother of your children. Be reasonable! You sleep in the same bed, eat and drink in the same place, she becomes your lover. Be reasonable! Even a child can understand that. That is set out in the verse of the Qur'an we have read. Look, you eat their food and share the same environment. Anyone with ears to hear will understand what I have said. There is nothing further I can say to those who still fail to understand.

The Arts at Carolina: Your Passport to the World
Carolina's seven major academic initiatives will be celebrated during the week of each home football game this season. The second -- in the week leading up to the Carolina vs. Ole Miss game Sept. 24 -- is the University's contribution to the cultural arts.
There is no greater mark of a vibrant public university than its cultural arts. In South Carolina, no college or university has a greater impact on the state through its visual, written, and performing arts than does the University of South Carolina.
Through diverse cultural offerings, Carolina enhances student learning and improves the quality of life of citizens and communities across the state. Each year, the University offers hundreds of annual live music and theatre performances, poetry readings and museum exhibitions that enrich, inspire, and entertain. Many performances and all exhibitions are free and open to the public.
Arts faculty and students, individually and collaboratively, challenge and transform audiences with ideas and emotions that transcend time and cultures and that reflect the human experience.
The School of Music is among the top 25 university music schools in the country. The school's faculty and 480 students deliver more than 300 performances – from classical and jazz to contemporary and computer music – each year in South Carolina and throughout the world. The award-winning Southern Exposure New Music Series is a favorite among members of the community. An innovative curriculum enhances the school's conventional music education by having students learn about music entrepreneurship, advocacy, and community engagement. The school offers the most comprehensive array of community outreach programs for music-making in the nation with programs that range from the innovative Music Play! for infants and USC String Project for school-age children to The Congaree New Horizons Band for senior citizens. Its impact extends to nearly every K-12 public and private school, as Carolina's School of Music has prepared the vast majority of the state's music teachers.
Art at the University is international and illuminating, with faculty artists collaborating with artists worldwide. The scope and the geography vary with projects including an award-winning film that documents China and South Carolina's relationship in textiles and commerce, a major ceramic installation in Australia, the establishment of a new school for painters in Italy and a photography project that documents the Mississippi Delta region's move from Jim Crow to a new millennium. The department of art's McMaster Gallery features individual and group exhibitions of works by university and guest artists.
The department of theatre and dance is dynamic in every way from its degree programs and facilities to the superior level of choreography, acting, and staging in its productions. It boasts the state's only master of arts in teaching degree for theatre and an undergraduate dance program that has busted at the seams since it began in 2005. Longstreet Theatre, a theater in the round, is a challenging and rewarding space for actors and designers that brings the audience into the action. The must-see "Cyrano de Bergerac" opens Sept. 25 in Longstreet. This spring, the dance program moved into a new Band and Dance Building, giving dance instructors like Thaddeus Davis and Tanya Wideman-Davis new opportunities to teach innovative and contemporary choreography to students.
McKissick Museum is home to one of the largest university museum collections in the Southeast, with diverse holdings that range from fine art to folk and decorative arts. Through presentation and perpetuation, McKissick exhibits help South Carolinians understand how cultural traditions evolve and influence our lives. This winter, the museum will open "Grass Roots: African Origins of an American Art," which showcases the survival of African-American basketry through local artisans from Mount Pleasant.
The arts at Carolina encompass more than traditional performing and visual arts. They include the South Carolina Poetry Initiative, one of the most innovative community statewide poetry projects in the country, and "Caught in the Creative Act," an enormously popular community course taught by Carolina Distinguished Professor Janette Turner Hospital that brings Nobel Laureates and Pulitzer Prize-winning writers to campus to discuss their writing.
Helping to pull the spectrum of arts together is the Arts Institute, which provides funding and support for collaboration among faculty and student artists and the creation of new and innovative projects.

I think trying to unify rules in the UK is a good step towards some kind of governing body... well it's required!
So I guess there needs to be suggestions from a variety of different people to try and cover all angles.
Things to consider:
Age groups - are <18yrs considered juniors?
Weight categories - these are already pretty much standard
Fight levels - amateur / semi pro / b-class pro / pro.... etc. etc.
I personally don't think fights with no headshots should be even considered a level of MMA... my personal opinion (which im sure others will disagree with)... what about the use of 8oz gloves & headshots for amateur??
Anyway... unified rules... I think there needs to be some promotion on this so fighters, coaches, promoters, officials & referees are all on the same page.

U.S. Must Remain Committed to Taiwan
With presidential elections looming in Taiwan, Dan Twining of the German Marshall Fund has a trenchant article in Foreign Policy about why it's important for the U.S. to remain committed to Taiwan's defense even at the cost of alienating the far-bigger and richer People's Republic of China. He argues:
First, cutting off an old U.S. ally at a time of rising tensions with an assertive China might do less to appease Beijing than to encourage its hopes to bully the United States into a further retreat from its commitments in East Asia. Second, it would transform the calculus of old American allies, like South Korea and Australia, who might plausibly wonder whether the U.S. commitment to their security is as flexible as it was towards Taiwan.
The whole article is, as they say, worth reading–and remembering the next time you hear the appeals of faux-realists who argue in favor of dumping a tiny democracy of 23 million people to improve relations with a dictatorship that rules more than 1.3 billion people.
U.S. Must Remain Committed to Taiwan
Must-Reads from Magazine
Polish Democracy in the Balance
Democracy dies while the president looks the other way.
Past U.S. presidents have used their bully pulpit to campaign for human-rights and democracy. By encouraging the unprecedented wave of democratization that has swept the world since 1945, their words and actions had consequences. That's not something that Donald Trump does. Far from it; he positively praises dictators. His words have consequences, too, and they are not good.
After Trump praised Rodrigo Duterte for his war on drugs, which involves sending out death squads to kill thousands of people, the Philippine president was emboldened to impose martial law on Mindanao. After Trump visited Saudi Arabia and praised its rulers, they were emboldened to launch a counterproductive boycott of Qatar that is splintering the anti-Iran coalition in the Middle East. And after Trump visited Warsaw on July 6 and embraced the ruling Law and Justice Party, it was emboldened to push through parliament a law that would essentially destroy the independence of the Polish judiciary, the last major institution standing in the way of its authority.
Now, it's perfectly plausible to argue that, in each case, local officials reacted to their own imperatives and that the words of Trump were not decisive. The president of the United States does exercise an outsized influence on allies, though; especially allies like Saudi Arabia and Poland, which rely on American protection for their very existence. Strong words of censure from Trump might not have dissuaded any of these rulers from the path they chose, but his words of support undoubtedly encouraged him to take actions that are antithetical to American values.
That's particularly the case in Poland, which has long been held up as a shining star of the post-Communist world. Now its star is faded, its stature diminished because the populist Law and Justice Party appears intent on imposing quasi-authoritarian control over its unruly democracy. Party members have just pushed through parliament, without the benefit of hearings, a law that would remove all of the country's supreme court judges and replace them with alternatives handpicked by the justice minister, who is a party member.
Under pressure from crowds of protesters and the European Union, President Andrzej Duda unexpectedly vetoed the supreme court bill, while signing other legislation that increases political control over the lower courts. The question now is whether Law and Justice will try again to politicize the judiciary as part of its larger assault on Polish democracy.
Already, Law and Justice has taken over the state-owned news media and turned it from the BBC model to the RT model, labeling political opponents as traitors to the Polish people. As the Wall Street Journal noted, the party's leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, "has accused the opposition of conspiring to kill his identical twin brother, who died in a 2010 plane crash in Russia. 'You murdered him, you scumbags,' he said to the opposition during the parliamentary debate on the new law."
There is not a shred of evidence to support this incendiary accusation; the plane crash was almost certainly an accident. Poland's own investigation "blamed the disaster on a combination of factors, including bad weather and errors made by a pilot who was not adequately trained on the plane he was flying, a Tupolev-154. That probe also said Russian air traffic controllers gave incorrect and confusing landing instructions to pilots — but it stopped short of alleging intentional wrongdoing."
In his disdain for political opposition and the media and his embrace of conspiracy theories, Kaczynski is reminiscent of Trump, except that he operates in a much more fragile political system without the protections enshrined in a centuries-old constitution.
During his ballyhooed speech in Warsaw, Trump defended "Western civilization," but he had not one word of rebuke for his hosts in the Law and Justice Party over their efforts to undermine Polish democracy. The State Department, to be sure, is speaking up against the Law and Justice power grab. "The Polish government has continued to pursue legislation that appears to undermine judicial independence and weaken the rule of law in Poland," it said in a statement. "We urge all sides to ensure that any judicial reform does not violate Poland's constitution or international legal obligations and respects the principles of judicial independence and separation of powers."
Nice words, but they don't carry much weight. The whole world knows that the State Department does not speak for the president. And, while Trump tweets about a plethora of other topics, he remains conspicuously silent about the sabotage of Polish democracy. Despite the veto of the supreme court bill, the future of Poland's institutions remains very much an open question. It's not too late, Mr. President, to speak up for the very principles of Western civilization that you praised in Warsaw when you said: "We treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression."
How Corruption Cripples American Universities
Are the rewards worth the costs?
Universities may be non-profit, but they are big business. At the end of fiscal year 2015, for example, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton's endowments were $38 billion, $26 billion, and $22 billion respectively. Those are correspondingly equivalent to the gross domestic products of Mongolia, Cyprus, and the West Bank and Gaza. University presidents make salaries on par with and often higher than corporate CEOs. Fundraising—traveling the world glad-handing alumni and lobbying—rather than academe has become the primary function of many university presidents.
To be fair, universities have become ever more expensive to run. Government regulations and mandates attached to the receipt of federal funds have burdened campuses with ever more administrators. So, too, has the culture of victimhood, which requires an ever-expanding support staff. Add into the mix the transformation of universities into country clubs competing to offer increasingly luxurious amenities, and management of a university requires ever more cash.
Universities pride themselves on diversity, which they too often define superficially in terms of skin color. Attracting international students to campus kills two birds with one stone: diversity plus full tuition since the foreign students accepted seldom qualify for financial aid from the university.
I am fortunate in my current job to be able to visit perhaps ten different colleges and university campuses each year, sometimes for stand-alone lectures but often for debates. During these visits, I am able to talk to students, professors, and administrators. In addition, many of my peers from graduate school are now tenured faculty, and rising through the ranks of their respective universities. Some of them have raised concern that certain dynamics surrounding ever increasing numbers of foreign students from certain countries have been counterproductive to universities' educational mission.
The Peoples' Republic of China sends several hundred thousand students to U.S. colleges, for example. Saudi Arabia sends 60,000. Many of these students fit in and receive a top notch education, but many also cheat on their applications. Academic corruption is fairly commonplace in both countries. In the most blatant cases, students pay others to take various exams required for college admissions, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Langue (TOEFL). Politically-connected students in each country can ensure that their transcripts and extracurricular portfolios highlight what American universities seek rather than what reality is.
Once admitted and on campus, it is clear that these students are not what they claimed to be. In some extreme cases, they cannot speak English well-enough to communicate and cannot understand what is said in class. This forces a choice upon the university: expel the sub-par students or expel them. The former maintains the school's quality of education; the latter protects its bottom line. The unending quest to raise funds leads universities to choose the later. Some justify this practice because the tuition paid by the substandard students or their governments subsidizes the financial aid awarded to other students. Others recognize the problem but feel they have no recourse. Add into the mix the fact that some Chinese national students appear to be conducting surveillance on their peers, and the dynamics only get more complicated.
To be fair, fewer university administrations succumb to the quid pro quo of loosening standards than do those which rationalize limits to free speech and intellectual inquiry. The general pattern seems to be that middle-ranked undergraduate programs and masters programs at elite schools make the greatest compromises.
How to resolve the problem? Financial discipline among management would go a long way. So, too, would be a no-nonsense approach to standards. If necessary, universities should proctor their own exams overseas. After all, if dozens of mainland Chinese students can pay $50,000 per year to a university, that university should be able to find $5,000 to send a proctor to one or two cities in that country to oversee and mark exams and conduct in-person interviews.
American universities are facing multiple crises. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has documented threats to free speech on campus and, admirably, stands on objective principle; it does not pass its judgment through partisan litmus tests. Threats to free speech may get the headlines—and deservedly so—but as American universities increasingly become global campuses, willingness to bend standards after the fact when foreign nationals admitted do not match the abilities reflected on their applications can have a deeply corrosive effect on educational quality in America's most elite colleges and universities.
So many foreigners—the sons and daughters of political and business elite—flock to American universities because they offer the best and broadest education. To destroy that reputation for short-term gain would be mismanagement in the extreme.
Republicans Need to Prepare for the Worst
Expect the impossible.
If the 2016 presidential election cycle demonstrated anything, it was that Republicans suffer from a crippling lack of imagination. That ordeal should have established that the unprecedented is not impossible. Even now, Republicans seem as though they are trying to convince themselves that their eyes are lying to them, but they are not. The tempo of the investigation into President Trump is accelerating, and a nightmare scenario is eminently imaginable. Only congressional Republicans can avert disaster, and only then by being clear about the actions they are prepared to take if Trump instigates a crisis of constitutional legitimacy.
The events of the last 36 hours unrolled like a cascade. Late Wednesday, the New York Times published an interview in which Trump delivered a stinging rebuke for Attorney General Jeff Sessions, scolding him for recusing himself from the investigation into the campaign's ties to Russian operatives. In that interview, Trump appeared to warn special counselor Robert Mueller not to dig too deeply into his personal finances, or else.
Hours later, Bloomberg News revealed that Mueller's probe was investigating Trump's business transactions and tax records—a leak surely made in response to Trump's arm-twisting. More leaks from the investigation confirmed that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was being investigated for involvement in a money-laundering scheme, a revelation made more discomfiting by the discovery that he owed pro-Russian interests $17 million before joining the Trump campaign.
With the noose tightening, the lead attorney on Trump's personal defense team, Marc Kasowitz, and the legal team's spokesperson, Mark Corallo, resigned. The Washington Post reported that "Trump has asked his advisers about his power to pardon aides, family members and even himself in connection with the probe." Trump's spokespeople insist the president has no intention of pursuing the dismissal of the special counsel investigating his campaign, but his every action indicates that this is a lie.
Prominent Republicans reacted to all this incredulously. "There is no possible way anybody at the White House could be seriously thinking about firing Mueller," Sen. Bob Corker insisted. "We all know the president," said Sen. Orrin Hatch. "He makes some of these comments that he really doesn't mean." Sen. Susan Collins was willing to go a bit farther: "It would be catastrophic if the President were to fire the special counsel."
Off the record, however, Republican lawmakers are far less circumspect in relaying their fears about what the president is capable of doing to the republic. "Any thought of firing the special counsel is chilling. It's chilling," an unnamed GOP senator told CNN. "One gets the impression that the President doesn't understand or he willfully disregards the fact that the attorney general and law enforcement in general—they are not his personal lawyers to defend and protect him," another added.
These tepid comments for the record, with courage reserved only upon condition of anonymity, expose how Republicans in Congress have again failed to meet the measure of the moment. These are dangerous days, and it is incumbent upon Donald Trump's party in Congress to deter the executive branch from overstepping its authority. The only way to do that is to be clear about what the consequences for that kind of transgression will be.
The Congressional Research Service defines how the president could execute a nuclear option against the independent counsel's office. The Attorney General has recused himself from campaign-related investigations, so Trump would have to insist Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein remove Mueller. If Rosenstein declined, his resignation would likely be on offer, and his acting replacement (Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand) would have to field the same request. At this point, the comparisons between the Trump White House's behavior and that of the Nixon administration ahead of the 1973 "Saturday Night Massacre" are no longer hyperbolic.
In lieu of any ability to contain or control the special counsel's office, Trump's defenders have mounted a public relations campaign designed to undermine its authority and discredit its members. That will rally Trump's diehard supporters, but the president remains unsatisfied. National Review's Rich Lowry speculated convincingly that Trump would have little choice but to move against Mueller. Sooner rather than later, the conditions the president said would force his hand—a probe of Trump's personal finances—will be met. Lowry observed that Trump seems to believe his tax records and business practices should be off limits and his experience has taught him "that fortune favors the recklessly bold."
Republicans in Congress must stop comforting themselves with the notion that the worst cannot happen. They have to summon the courage to state publicly what they so freely tell reporters on background. If they are so concerned that the norms and traditions that have preserved the rule of law in this republic for 240 years are in jeopardy, they must say so. And they must say what the consequences will be for Trump, his associates, and his family if he goes too far. Republicans in office are disinclined to pursue a course of action against Trump that might jeopardize their standing with the voters who love him. None of that matters. Prioritizing their parochial careerist considerations over the best interests of their party and their country is how they got themselves into this mess.
Republicans may dislike the prospect, but it's fast becoming time for them to start saying the "I" word if only to save the president from his most reckless impulses. The longer they tell themselves that the unthinkable is impossible, the more likely it becomes.
Can Turkey be Trusted with F-35s?
Are the warplane's secrets safe?
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is the newest generation air platform for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marines. Lockheed-Martin, which builds the F-35, describes it as "a 5th Generation fighter, combining advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced sustainment." For both diplomatic reasons and to encourage sales, Lockheed-Martin subcontracted the production of many F-35 components to factories abroad. Many program partners—Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark, for example—are consistent U.S. allies.
Turkey, however, is also part of the nine-nation consortium producing the plane, which gives Turkey access to the F-35's technology. "As a program partner, Turkish industries are eligible to become suppliers to the global F-35 fleet for the life of the program. In total, F-35 industrial opportunities for Turkish companies are expected to reach $12 billion," the warplane's website explained. "Turkey plans to purchase 100 of the F-35A Conventional Takeoff and Landing variant. Its unsurpassed technological systems and unique stealth capabilities ensure that the F-35 will be the future of Turkish national security for decades to come."
But is the F-35 safe with Turkey? In recent years, the Turkish government has leaked highly-classified information to America's adversaries in fits of diplomatic pique. Back in 2013, for example, Turkey leaked to the Iranians the identities of Israeli spies in Iran. Danny Yatom, former head of the Mossad, told USA Today that the incident would damage U.S. intelligence efforts, "because we will be much more reluctant to work via Turkey because they will fear information is leaking to Iran… We feel information achieved [by Israel] through Turkey went not only to Israel but also to the United States."
On July 19, the Pentagon criticized Turkey's state-controlled news agency for exposing ten covert U.S. bases in Syria in a way that can enable both the Islamic State and Iranian-backed forces to target Americans. Bloomberg reported that the leak also detailed aid routes and equipment stored at each base.
Both these incidents raise serious questions about whether Turkey can be trusted with the F-35, especially given Turkey's growing military and diplomatic ties to Russia, and the wayward NATO state's recent cooperation with China as well. The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense is rightly concerned about the security implications of a plan to service its F-35s in Turkey, but such concern should only be the tip of the iceberg.
Should Turkey even receive F-35s and, to the extent the program relies on Turkish factories, is it time to stand up quickly a Plan B? To do otherwise might squander the billions of dollars already spent on the program, risk increasing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's ability to blackmail the West, and potentially land America's latest military technology on Kremlin desks.
The Trump Right's Martyrdom of Kim Guadagno
Too many martyrs make a movement.
If the GOP is to be converted into a vehicle for politicians who evince Donald Trump's brand of pragmatic center-right populism, Trump will have to demonstrate his brand of politics can deliver victories for people other than himself. Presidential pen strokes help to achieve that, as do judicial appointments. Nothing is so permanent, though, as sweeping legislative change. On that score, the newly Trumpian Republican Party is coming up short. If the passive process of transformational legislative success fails to compel anti-Trump holdouts in the GOP to give up the ghost, there is always arm-twisting. It seems the Republican National Committee is happy to play enforcer.
The RNC's nascent effort to stifle anti-Trump apostasy by making examples of high-profile heretics has claimed its first victim: New Jersey's Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno. The Republican is running to replace the nation's least popular governor, Chris Christie, and the effort has been a struggle. Trailing badly in the polls and facing the headwinds associated with trying to succeed an unpopular outgoing GOP governor in a blue state, Guadagno needs all the help she can get. That help won't be coming from the RNC. According to NJ Advance Media, the committee's objection to helping Guadagno isn't the imprudence of throwing good money after bad. It's that she was mean to President Trump in 2016, and she must be punished.
"[The president] is unhappy with anyone who neglected him in his hour of need," said a source billed as an RNC insider. The specific complaint arises from an October 8 tweet from the lieutenant governor said that "no apology can excuse" Trump's "reprehensible" conduct on the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape. "Christie was not as stalwart as some people in the party, but at least he didn't go against him the way she did," the insider added.
This source's version of events was supported by former two-term New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman. "She went down there, and the (Republican National) Committee was reluctant to back the campaign in the way one would have expected," she said. "The implication was, 'Well you were not a Trump supporter in the primary, and so don't expect much money.'"
This is almost certainly a pretext. Republicans are facing stiff competition and an unfavorable political environment in November's gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey. In 2017-2018, 27 GOP-held seats are up for grabs, nine of which are in some jeopardy of falling to Democrats. Republicans are going to have to husband their resources and triage their officeholders. That's a forgivable, if demoralizing, condition. Declaring Guadagno to have offended the leader and to be cut off from the font of Republican goodwill is not only unjustifiable, it's terribly foolish.
If Republican women are to be punished for saying that Trump's comments about sexually assaulting unsuspecting females were unacceptable, there are going to be a lot fewer Republican women. Moreover, the RNC has invited the perception that there is a double standard at play here. A slew of Republicans called on Trump to drop out of the race after that tape, but the RNC is unlikely to withhold support for Senators Rob Portman or John Thune when they need it. Among those calling on Trump to drop out was his own chief of staff, Reince Priebus—a fact the president reportedly won't let Priebus forget.
Cults of personality can be bullied into existence, but they rarely outlast the personality around whom they form unless that personality can claim some lasting achievements. In lieu of any compelling rationale, the effort to remake the GOP in Trump's image by force will only create dissidents. The ideological conservatives who once dominated the Republican Party are unlikely to make peace with the ascendant populist faction at gunpoint. And the RNC is not solely to blame for this boneheaded move. Even if the notion that Guadagno is being punished for disloyalty is a pretense, it is a response to a clear set of incentives promoted by this White House.
Maybe the most intriguing question of the present political age is whether or not conservatives in the GOP will come to terms with a man they once saw as a usurper. A heavy hand will only catalyze resistance, and Trump needs his own party as much or more than they need him. Guadagno's gubernatorial bid is on no firmer ground today than it was yesterday, but the Republican candidate's allies can now legitimately claim persecution at the hands of personality cultists. Too many martyrs make a movement. The White House and the Republican National Committee should tread lightly.

A builder by profession, he quickly became something of a Forrest Gump of budgetary doom.
The first film in the series, Koi…Mil Gaya (2003), is essentially the story of Forrest Gump finding E.T.
The Chilean Forrest Gump A Guatemalan newspaper ran a profile of Edison Peña, whom they dubbed " the Forrest Gump" of the group.
Sizemore has known Dr. Drew Pinsky since 2000 and Forrest since 1991; Forrest is actually his former dope dealer.
Since his release last year from the Forrest City Correctional Complex in Arkansas, Harris has been on his best behavior.
Mr. and Misses Cholmondeley and Miss Forrest were with her; but who else think you?
If you will meet General Forrest, I will bring him to the hotel in fifteen minutes.
Forrest, as was his custom, had passed to the front of the entire column with his escort.
All, save Colonel Forrest, who wore a sardonic smile throughout it all.
Forrest had certainly turned in another direction, and they were too close to the Union lines to be attacked by any other foe.

Report: Justin Bieber to give up pet monkey
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
It looks as if Justin Bieber is parting ways with his monkey. Weeks after the Capuchin named Mally was confiscated by customs agents in Munich comes word that the pop star plans to give up his pet.
German authorities tell E! News Bieber's management recently contacted them and asked them to find a good home for Mally. Bieber apparently still needs to submit an official document, however.
It was lack of documentation that prompted German officials to detain Mally in the first place. Upon his arrival in Munich for a concert last month, the singer was unable to provide the necessary paperwork for his pet. He was charged a fine and the cost of the quarantine.
Mally has reportedly been living at a shelter with other capuchins. The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation is expected to make a decision on Mally's future home.

Last post was rather vague my appologies. Using this guide http://www.edwiget.name/2011/11/admi...to-hard-drive/ I was able to get pretty far. I was able to create the partions and physically see them with gparted. I had i believe one dev/mapper which apeared to be mapped as the /dev/sda base of the tree. (I'm going off memory I'm at work currently.) vg-root which had ext4 mounted to / and under 1tb. and the other ext that was 583 or so MB's in size that was as instructed mounted as /boot. I could also see the outer volume of /dev/sda5, so I figured I had that part right.
To encyrpt the partition I used code : cryptsetup -y -c aes-xts-plain -s 512 luksFormat /dev/sda5
The commands I used for mapping where:
pvcreate /dev/mapper/pvcrypt
vgcreate vg /dev/mapper/pvcrypt
lvcreate -n root -l 100%FREE vg
Followed by: mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-root
That worked and it synced my files.
In case I made a mistake I altered the mounts of / and /boot to the partitions with space on them. I made sure my grub was placed in /dev/sda and hit forward as that install instructed. I bypassed the swap space. The installation started and there was no problems.
Then I did as instructed and selected to continue to test.
This is where i first started noticing problems. When I tried to execute this set of commands:
mkdir /mnt/bt
mount /dev/mapper/vg-root /mnt/bt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/bt/boot
chroot /mnt/bt
mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sys /sys
I was given an error or nothing displayed it just went back to root@bt# or whatever it is. I was given an error on mkdir /mnt/bt not being found. I ran: sh NV<tab>mkdir and it showed a list of things such as .gconf and .gconfd as wells as Desktop/ but there was no mnt/. running the mount commands as I mentioned earlier put me right back at root@bt#. I didn't see that it had any signs of life unless it doesn't have to display. I went through the other commands any way got an error on chroot/mnt/bt and I think the last to mount commands ran. (I entered the commands exactly as they are above ^ this paragraph.
I then did the apt-get update and the apt-get install hashalotlvm2 commands and for my choice I also did a apt-get install gedit command. I added the line with my UUID, and there was nothing other than what appears to be what the guide suggests. There was a UUID string list before /boot, but from the instructions it looked that that was to be left alone. So I had to make no changes. The dev/mapper line was there. I finished through the tutorial and tried to: update-initramfs -u I got an error there about Nothing being there in kernel shell or something along that line and "Failed" and well it didn't take the grub.
Hopefully that helps you better understand the nature of my question and what parts I need help with. Thank you.

Byrnes enters this game 7-0 and Gaffney is 4-3, but the records may not reflect who has more Division 1 prospects at this time. Byrnes has a senior wide receiver Akia Booker, who is making big strides this season on and off the field and he may have the talent to play at a high level in college. Shuler Bentley is a junior quarterback at Byrnes and he knows the game, he is very accurate, and he is one to watch in the next class. Gaffney has Jaylin Miller, a senior defensive lineman who is having a big year and he is being recruited by top ACC/SEC schools among others. He has double-digit offers. Shaquille Davidson was moved to quarterback a week ago to get the ball in his hands more, but he is a Scout100 member in the 2014 class. He has big-time talent. 2014 running back Hyleck Foster and 2015 offensive tackle T.J. Hanie are two others to watch from Gaffney.
Jamie Newberg - National Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Hollywood (Fla.) Hollywood Hills @ Plantation (Fla.) South Plantation at 7:30 p.m.
South Plantation is led by five-star running back Alex Collins. Collins, who is now up to 207-pounds, has brought more size to his body, putting on close to 25-pounds since this time a year ago. He's also faster and more explosive. Collins has been a long time commitment to Miami but visited Wisconsin last weekend and is scheduled to visit FSU this coming weekend. Cornerback athlete John Marvin is a talented player with a handful of offers from schools like Air Force, Bowling Green, FIU, Navy, Temple and Western Kentucky. Hollywood Hills is led by senior linebacker Griffin Goins. Goins, 6-foot-0 and 230-pounds, has scholarship offers from teams like Cincinnati and Florida Atlantic. They also have a massive offensive line recruit in junior Josh Deuyour, who is 6-foot-9 and 320-pounds. This kid has shed close to 100-pounds and is playing on the defensive front. Another 2014 prospect to keep an eye on is safety Jonnah Cunningham. Freshman receiver Darnell Solomon and sophomore offensive lineman Dusan Etiene are two younger guys that certainly have a D1 chance.
Friday: Tampa (Fla.) Catholic at St. Petersburg (Fla.) Northeast at 7:30 p.m.
This is a very good and very talented Tampa Catholic team led by senior Zach Benjamin and juniors Corey Martinez and T.J. Harrell. Benjamin, a.k.a 'Big Bird', is a very big outside wide receiver. He stands 6-foot-5 and 192 pounds and has scholarship offers from teams like Toledo, Arkansas State, Bowling Green, Western Kentucky, and others. Martinez and Harrell will be two of the top juniors from the Tampa Bay area next season in 2014. Martinez is an offensive tackle that has the versatility to play all the positions across the front. He has offers from teams like Miami, USF, Kentucky and Vandy, Meanwhile, Harrell is an outside linebacker/running back that has scholarship offers from teams like Florida, UCLA, Georgia, Michigan State, Purdue and others. Northeast is led by sophomore phenom quarterback Ryan Davis. His older brother [Chris] was one of the state's top recruits in the Class of 2003 who played at FSU. The younger Davis already holds a scholarship from the Seminoles as well as Indiana and Arizona. There's another brother connection for the Vikings with junior receiver Terio Fowler. He's brother Dante is a freshman at Florida. Fowler is a transfer from St. Petersburg, Fla./Lakewood. Senior middle linebacker Auggie Sanchez is one of the more underrated recruits in the Tampa Bay area. Northeast is also blessed on the perimeter with speedy players like junior Keith Harrington, senior Jalin Hubbard and sophomore Sekendric Biddines.

Friday: University School (Fla.) at Leesburg (Fla.) at 7 p.m.
University is loaded with prospects and is off to an excellent start this season. Their senior class is led by 3-star wide receiver Jordan Cunningham. At 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, Cunningham recently took his first visit to Oklahoma State. He plans to see Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame, and Michigan as well. 4-star defensive tackle prospect Quay Bain (6-3/310) is playing offensive line now and has offers from schools like Oklahoma, LSU, and Michigan State. The one-time FSU commitment hasn't taken any visits yet. 3-star WR prospect D.J. Taylor (6-0/175) has already visited Boston College and is set to see UCF this weekend. He's also considering schools like Wake Forest and Nebraska. 3-star OLB prospect Skai Moore (6-3/210) lists a top four of Rutgers, UCF, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest and has offers from all three. Safety Jalen Battle (6-2/170) is committed to Kentucky; OLB Nick Internicola (6-3/220) is already committed to Rutgers; safety Wesley Smith (5-10/175) is already committed to Toledo. Another senior to watch is quarterback Mike White (6-5/195) who took an official visit to Oklahoma State two weekends ago. The junior class is led by defensive back Quincy Wilson (6-2/195) who claims offers from schools like Ohio State, Florida, Clemson, and Auburn. The sophomore class is led by running back Jordan Scarlett (5-11/195) who already claims offers from schools like Miami, Alabama, LSU, and Ohio State.

Friday: Wilson (N.C.) Hunt vs. Bailey (N.C.) Southern Nash at 7:30 p.m.
This Big East showdown has huge conference and playoff implications. Hunt comes in 7-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference. The Warriors are led by senior defensive end/linebacker Lewis Neal (LSU commit) and senior running back Josh Joyner. Joyner has already rushed for over 1,300 yards and 19 touchdowns. The Warriors also feature talented junior safety Dexter Wright who is attracting early interest from several major college programs. Southern Nash is 7-1 overall and also 2-0 in the conference. The Firebirds are led by senior offensive lineman Cameron Gardner (Wake Forest commit) and senior running back Rashid Campbell (over 900 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns). Southern Nash also has veteran junior quarterback Deon Lavender.
John Garcia Jr. - Southeast Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Hayden (Ala.) at Morris (Ala.) Mortimer Jordan at 7:00 p.m.
Hayden has a few intriguing players looking for their initial offer in 2014 prospects Tyler Swindle on the offensive line and Damon Brown on the other side but all eyes will be on Devlin Hodges. Mortimer Jordan's junior quarterback has several SEC schools interested after attending a handful of camps this summer coupled with the early game film he has provided. The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder has received the most interest from Alabama of late, attending each of the Crimson Tide's last two home games. Vanderbilt and Mississippi State may also receive an unofficial visit from the efficient signal-caller in the near future, but not before we check him out in person.
Steve Robertson - Southeast Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Broadmoor (La.) at Tara (La.) at 7:00 p.m.
The annual Battle of Goodwood brings together two of Baton Rouge's longest standing rivals. Broadmoor will look to take another step in the district race thanks in large part to the play of junior quarterback Ryan Sibley. Sibley has taken all over full time as the starter behind center and the Buccanner offense has benefitted greatly.
Friday: St. Martin (Miss.) at Biloxi (Miss.) at 7:00 p.m.
Biloxi has two of their last three games by just one point. The Indians will look to get back on track this week against St. Martin. BHS is led by perhaps Mississippi's top receiving duo with Mississippi State commitment Scott Austin and South Alabama pledge Tevaris McCormick. Senior quarterback Jaylen Woullard is really beginning to come into his own and will be a name of interest in the post season.
Yancy Porter - Mississippi Scout
Friday: Ackerman (Miss.) at Eupora (Miss.) at 7:00 p.m.
The Battle of highway 9 bowl is always a heated an intense ball game between the two heated rivals. The two small schools located on highway 9 are only 18 miles apart and the winner will be in position to earn the top seed in Region 2(2A). The Indians' top prospect is Quinton Lane. The 6' 2", 180-pound two-way player has 340 receiving yards on the season and holds an offer from Ole Miss. Junior quarterback Dakota Brasher has close to 900 passing yards on the season. Eupora's top player is Ole Miss commit Derrick Jones. The 6' 2" receiver has over 40 catches and 700 yards for the season.
Amy Campbell - Florida Recruiting Reporter
Friday: Miami (Fla.) Jackson at Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington at 7:00 p.m.
To say Booker T. is loaded with Division I talent would be an understatement. The Hurricanes bring a stellar defense lead by five-star outside linebacker Matthew Thomas. Thomas has every offer in the book and seems particularly interest in Florida State, Alabama, USC, Miami, Florida, and Georgia. Junior defensive end Chad Thomas will be a top prospect in the 2014 class. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound athlete already has offers from Florida State, Miami, Texas A&M, and more. Junior Treon Harris plays both quarterback and cornerback for the Hurricanes but look to see him be recruited mainly at corner. Harris has early offers form Miami, South Florida, Florida State, and more. Juniors Krondis Larry and Lamar Parker provide plenty of spark to the offense. Wide receiver Parker has a handful of offers including Florida State, Texas A&M, and West Virginia. Jackson 2014 quarterback Quinton Flowers will be a name to remember in the class. FOX Sports NEXT recruiting analyst Geoff Vogt describes Flowers as a "QB that is sensational with the ball in his hands. 6'0. Might switch to another position in college."
Kristen Ledlow - Southeast Field Reporter
Friday: Peach County (Ga.) at Jackson (Ga.) at 7 p.m.
Peach County heads to Jackson on Friday boasting one of the top receivers in the nation in Demarcus Robinson. Robinson is currently committed to Clemson, but has expressed an interest in making other official visits this fall. Robinson holds offers from major SEC programs in Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee, along with offers outside the southeast in Notre Dame and Oklahoma. Peach County also houses promising talent in the class of 2014 in Chavis Dickey. Jackson is home to four-star defensive tackle Jay Woods, who recently committed to Vanderbilt. At the time of his commitment, Woods was uninterested in hearing other offers or taking outside visits. Woods' teammate, Justin Akins, is a three-star defensive end who committed to Georgia Tech this summer.
FOX Sports Florida PrepZone Live
Friday: East Lee at Vero Beach at 7 p.m.
Allen Trieu - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Toledo (Ohio) St. Johns Jesuit at Toledo (Ohio) Central Catholic at 7 p.m.
Talent abound on this field. In the senior class, Jesuit features Wisconsin commit Matt Miller on the offensive line, Pittsburgh commit Tony Harper at safety, and Eastern Michigan commit Brogan Roback at quarterback. Central Catholic has Ohio State commit Jayme Thompson at safety, but he will also play offense. Nebraska commit Keith Towbridge lines up at tight end for CC, and we will also get to see one of the state's top juniors in quarterback Deshone Kizer.
Bill Greene - Ohio Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Cleveland (Ohio) Heights at Warren Harding (Ohio) at 7:00 p.m.
Four-star senior wide receiver Shelton Gibson will lead Heights alongside two-way teammate senior De'Niro Laster. Both players hold multiple offers, with Gibson listing Auburn and Ohio State on top. Harding features two committed seniors in safety Jalen Powell (Michigan State) and tailback LeShun Daniels (Boston College).
Saturday: Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier at Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward at 2 p.m.
St. Xavier is led by senior wide receiver Trey Kilgore, and the Michigan State commit has battled injuries this season. Junior quarterback Nick Tensing is a potential BCS recruit, and a threat both passing and running the football. Junior tailback E.J. Hilliard holds an Indiana offer. St. Edward senior wide receiver Anthony Young is having a fine season, and the Indiana commit is a three-star prospect. Three-star safety Solomon Warfield (Iowa commit) keys the St. Edward defense.
Dave Berk - Ohio Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Dayton (Ohio) Thurgood Marshall at Dayton (Ohio) Belmont at 7:00 p.m.
This game is about watching a few players we saw prior to the season from Thurgood Marshall. Senior Gerry Green has major talent but needs to continue working in the classroom. At 6-foot-5, 275-pounds, Green plays tight end but projects into a top tackle. Senior running back Denzel Norvell is one of the more exciting players in the state with his great speed and quick cuts. Juniors Vayante Copeland and D'Angelo Martin have major talent. Copeland (5-11,180) plays on both sides of the ball while Martin (6-1, 170) has the frame coaches look for from a safety. Both players should receive early interest.

Friday: Eastmoor Academy (Ohio) at Walnut Ridge (Ohio) at 7:30 pm
Walnut Ridge is coming off of a 26-7 win over West Columbus. Senior Wisconsin commit Rob Wheelwright has been leading the way. Aside from the wide receiver, they also have junior defensive end Robert Bowers, who holds an offer from Cincinnati and senior cornerback Malik Robinson. For Eastmoor Academy they will look at senior athlete Davion Barrow (offer from Toledo) to lead the way. Sophomore defensive back Christopher Allen-Spiller (hearing from Indiana and Cincinnati), has proven to be a player to watch.
Greg Powers - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Olathe (Kan.) South at Gardner-Edgerton (Kan.) at 7:00 p.m.
This week it is off to the Sunflower State to see a couple of the top prospects in the Class of 2014 take on one another. Olathe South is home to Braden Smith the No. 11 overall junior in the country according to the Scout.com rankings. The big 6-foot-6, 285-pound two-way lineman is in the hunt to be considered as the top overall prospect in the country. Gardner-Edgerton will feature running back Traevohn Wrench. The 6-foot-0, 190-pounder is a Scout300 selection with size and speed.
Ahmard Vital - Midlands Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Houston (Texas) Stratford at Missouri City (Texas) Marshall at 7:00 p.m.
This game features a ton of offensive linemen who will be on the big stage and on Division I rosters next season. For Stratford, three-star lineman Christian Daimler, an Arizona State commit, will be doing his thing. For Marshall, Maurice Porter and Darius Moore are playing with each other now, but will be rivals on the next level with them going to Texas Tech and Baylor respectively. These two will be trying to create the opportunities for JW Ketchum, a player we are seeking to get a closer look at after seeing his eye-popping statistical numbers. On the defensive side, whom some say is the No. 1 defensive player in the state, Deon Hollins will be featured. The edge rusher/outside linebacker is headed to UCLA.
Friday: Humble (Texas) Summer Creek at Kingwood (Texas) Park High at 7:00 p.m.
So far, the Summer Creek team has been running through all of its competition in a dominating fashion. This could be largely because of the play of 2014 quarterback Aaron Sharp, a player who has already caught the attention of plenty Division I programs (holds offer from UTEP too). Out of the backfield, Jordan Braden, another junior, will be making it happen as well. He is getting some looks from top programs.
Brandon Huffman - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline at Bellevue (Wash.) Newport at 7:00 p.m.
In one of the few matchups in Washington this year of two FBS quarterbacks, Newport will host Skyline in a key KingCo game. Skyline is unbeaten and ranked 31st nationally by FOX Sports NEXT this week, and they're led by the nation's premier quarterback, Max Browne, the five-star who's headed to USC. Browne's favorite target is Nic Sblendorio, one of the biggest playmakers in the Northwest. Defensively, the Spartans are paced by linebacker Peyton Pelluer, a commit to Washington State. Newport has an FBS commit of their own in Isaac Dotson, a top 100 quarterback nationally who's committed to Nevada. He's joined by a pair of underclassmen, 2014 tight end Drew Sample and 2015 defensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton.
Greg Biggins - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Gardena (Calif.) Serra at Los Angeles (Calif.) Cathedral at 7:00 p.m.
Serra has some of the top underclass talent in the state headlined by elite junior corner Adoree Jackson. Jackson was rated the No. 34 player in the nation in the 2014 Scout 300 and holds offers from Colorado, Nebraska, Northwestern, SMU, UCLA, Utah, and Washington. Fellow junior Dwight Williams was rated the No. 167 player in the Scout 300 and is one of the state's top linebackers. Colorado and UCLA have both offered. Junior quarterback Jalen Greene has been impressive this year and has a chance to be one of the state's top dual threat signal callers next fall. Speaking of quarterbacks, few can sling it like Cathedrals Hayden Rettig. The LSU commit has an absolute cannon and could be the best pure thrower in the state. Wide out Damari Scott is a physical receiver with speed and claims offers from Boston College, Colorado State, Fresno State, Nevada and San Diego State. Two-way athlete Torry McTyer can play receiver or corner in college and just landed an offer from California a week ago.
Scott Kennedy- Director of Scouting
FOX Sports West features four games per week streamed live on the internet with broadcasters and color analysts, and multi-angle cameras. This week Prepzone Live will feature host Kevin Barnett and Director of Scouting Scott Kennedy, highlighting the action from each of the four games as well as other news and notes across the Southland. Here is a look at this week's action on FOX Sports West's Prepzone.
Friday: Mission Viejo (Calif.) at San Clemente (Calif.) at 7 p.m.
This is the South Coast League opener for Mission Viejo who has cruised through its early schedule without breaking much of a sweat. San Clemente has come back to the pack this year after losing so much talent from last year's squad, but they're still a quality opponent. Mission Viejo's big name is still USC commitment Max Redfield. Redfield plays receiver and safety for the Diablos and is capable of making game changing plays on either side of the ball. UCLA commitment Erik Bunte joined the flood of Orange County players to transfer to Mission Viejo this year, and this will be our first look at the big offensive tackle in his new digs. Quarterback Ian Fieber and running back Alex Suchesk are two more transfers who have made a big impact for Mission Viejo. The will likely be college prospects in the Class of 2014. San Clemente has lost three in a row after getting off to a 4-0 start. Offensive tackle Sean Harlow is one of the few remaining impact players from the 2011 squad. He is committed to the Washington Huskies.
Encino (Calif.) Crespi at Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame at 7 p.m.
Crespi made its debut on Prepzone last week with an impressive 20-7 win over Loyola. Notre Dame has been on the Prepzone three times... all of them hard fought losses. Crespi's top college prospect is safety Tyler Foreman who appears to be choosing between Oklahoma and UCLA. Foreman will get challenged more against Notre Dame's passing offense than he was against Loyola's ground game. Linebacker Ray Davison lines up at linebacker and has a Top 2 schools of Boise State and Iowa State. Safety Brandon Arnold has a host of offers and should choose between Cal and Michigan State. Notre Dame has a home run threat at running back in track star Khalfani Muhammad. Muhammad ran like a different back last week against Alemany rushing for over 200 yards and four touchdowns. Muhammad showed instincts and balance that had been lacking in earlier Prepzone games and appears to be growing into a football player, rather than just a track guy playing football. Quarterback Kelly Hilinski also has shown improvement avoiding the rush and keeping his eyes downfield.
Rialto (Calif.) Carter at Rialto (Calif.) at 7 p.m.
Carter features one of the nation's best defensive tackles in UCLA commitment Kenneth Clark. At 6'2/295 Clark took some reps playing middle linebacker at 7v7s last summer, and he was athletic enough to be comfortable there. He's more than Rialto will be able to handle.
La Canada (Calif.) St. Francis at North Hollywood (Calif.) Harvard-Westlake at 7
Harvard-Westlake has reeled off five wins in a row after losing its opener to Loyola. St. Francis has three losses by an average of four points. Harvard-Westlake is led by Vanderbilt commitment Chad Kanoff at quarterback. Kanoff is a heady, accurate passer who runs the show from the line of scrimmage. Helping to clear the way for him is offensive lineman Thomas Oser who has offers from the likes of Colorado, Oregon, and Vanderbilt among others. St. Francis has a good quarterback in its own right in senior Jared Lebowitz. Lebowitz is averaging over 250 yards per game and has an impressive 14-3 TD to INT ratio.
Jason Jewell, Southwest Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Scottsdale (Ariz.) Notre Dame Prep at Cave Creek (Ariz.) Cactus Shadows at 7 p.m.
Notre Dame has had one of the state's toughest schedules thus far and are sitting at a 3-4 record. But there is plenty of talent on the roster. Arizona State commit Grant Martinez is one of the state's top tight ends. Linebacker Luke Taffuri is having a stellar year roaming the middle and OLB Duncan Morfitt has multiple academy offers. DE Parker Zellers is having an all-state season and junior safety Jordan Schlueter already has an offer from Colorado State. Cactus Shadows has a dangerous passing attack and QB Bryce Kinsler has already passed for 600 yards in a single game this year.
Friday: Goodyear (Ariz.) Desert Edge @ Peoria (Ariz.) Liberty at 7 p.m.
Two undefeated teams in the division-three ranks and both have talent. Liberty is lead by QB Tyler Rogers. Surprisingly only Air Force and South Dakota State have offered by he is on Utah and Utah State's radar as well. Desert Edge is led by RB/DB Kyle Woolard and junior OLB/WR Ismael Murphy-Richardson. Neither have offers yet but both have FBS skills.
Jake Worthen-
Northwest Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Spanaway Lake (Wash.) High vs. Federal Way (Wash.) High at 7:00 p.m.
The Federal Way roster is filled with college level talent and should win easily Thirsday night. The top prospect in the game might be 2015 running back Chico McClatcher, who landed an offer from Washington last weekend. McClatcher is on the smaller side, but has enough athleticism and playmaking ability to cover it up. Wide receiver Mike Tate is the top senior prospect and holds offers from Eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana, Portland State and Wyoming. Federal Way (Wash.) Cornerback D'Londo Tucker has offers from Eastern Washington, Idaho and Portland State and is one of the best cover corners in the state. Linebacker Albert Havili might be one of the top high school defenders in the state and is finally starting to get recruiting attention. He recently picked up offers from Eastern Washington and Montana State. Brothers Ezekiel McNeal and Jeremiah McNeal will also be worth keeping an eye on.
Friday: Bellevue (Wash.) High vs. Snoqualmie (Wash.) Mount Si at 7:00 p.m.
This may be a matchup of the top two 3A teams in the state of Washington. Both come in unbeaten and while one will get a loss, I wouldn't be surprised to see them face off again in the state playoffs. Bellevue is loaded with talent, starting with UCLA commit and four-star outside linebacker Myles Jack. 2014 athlete Budda Baker is the top ranked player in his class in the Northwest region and already boasts a double digit offer list. Washington commit and MLB Sean Constantine is a constant performer in the heart of the defense. Bellevue also has a list of players like outside linebacker Michael Carlson, defensive tackle Darien Freeman and Reuben Mwehla (Idaho commit) that are garnering college attention. Mount Si has an impressive list of their own. Kicker Cameron Van Winkle is committed to Washington and has a good case to go down as the best prep kicker in state history. 2014 quarterback Nick Mitchell is the younger brother of lineman Josh Mitchell who is currently playing for Oregon State. Mitchell has a very good shot at following his brother into the college ranks. Safety Hunter Malberg is one of the most underrated players in the state of Washington and is a likely source for some big plays Friday night. Tight end Griffin McLain is still waiting for his first offer, but has college size.
Kevin Carden, West Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Encino (Calif.) Crespi at Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame at 7 p.m.
Crespi vs. Notre Dame, one of the best rivalry games in Southern California, will once again feature several big-time college prospects on both sides of the ball. Speedy tailback Khalfni Muhammad, who is coming off a four touchdown performance last week, three-star quarterback Kelly Hilinski and 2014 WR/DB Koa Farmer will face a stiff challenge from Crespi's star-studded defense. The Celts defense is led by four-star safety Tyler Foreman, who is one of the most physical defensive backs in the region and has double-digit scholarship offers. Fellow safety Brandon Arnold is another highly sought after recruit and has serious interest in Cal and Michigan State. Defensive end Ray Davison should also have a big impact on Friday as well. On the offensive side of the ball, keep an eye on Crespi wide receiver Jabrian Blackwell and 2015 tailback Okalani Langi.
Inna Lazarev, West Field Reporter
Friday: Glendale (Ariz.) Independence at Peoria (Ariz.) Centennial at 7:00 p.m.
Centennial (6-1) is stacked. This team is very strong on the offensive line, which features offensive tackle Hayden Johnson (Air Force, Idaho, South Dakota State offers), offensive guard Spencer Nathe (Air Force offer), and junior offensive tackles Kamryn Bennett, and Layth Friekh, who received his first three offers (from Oregon State, Utah, and Arizona) last Friday. The Coyotes boast two Pac-12 commitments, in UCLA running back commit, Jalen Ortiz, and Washington defensive end commit, Marcus Farria. Other players to watch on this squad are: quarterback Tre Grant, wide receiver Shawn Poindexter, defensive end Sam Ray, linebacker Wes Westbrook, long snapper Reed Buce, and junior wide receivers Darius Aguirre and Keesean Green.
Annabel Stephan, West Field Reporter
Thursday: Pomona (Calif.) Garey at Ontario (Calif.) Colony at 7 p.m.
The most highly-touted player in Thursday night's match up is Colony receiver Samajie Grant, who committed to Arizona at the end of June, telling Scout.com "It's where I wanted to go, so I figured there was no point in waiting." Grant also held offers from UCLA, Utah, Washington State, and San Diego State. Colony lost both their starting and back up quarterbacks due to transfer earlier this season, so Grant has stepped up as the team's signal caller. Though Colony sits at 4-3 as they enter Week 8 of the season, the Titans are still undefeated in league play (Mt. Baldy League) and have a good chance of continuing that undefeated streak versus Garey.
