Possibly Tate's attempt to somehow be relevant again? I say be a good teammate and humbly work your way back up the depth chart. Tell your family to leave the twittering alone and let what happens on the gridiron do all the talking for you.
Let your play do the talking son.... let your play do the talking!

Seriously? Seriously? .......really? what the hell is going on? I really hope this has something to do with family and not with the game tomorrow. rejgbierugbliahbrgiluhrbg. Maybe it is the past two years that are making me view anything like this in a negative light...but I just do not like where this is going.

earlier in the week. Let ND spend all week preparing for DRob, and just to F with them, Corch puts in Tate to start the game and torches them through the air..... Just "Hang on to the Damn Ball...."
September 10th, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
100% chance Denard gets the start tomorrow. I can't imagine a scenario in which RichRod rewards Denard's performance against UCONN by letting Tate start. I know we're all about the team and working hard in practice etc, but WTF kind of message would that send to Denard?
If his secret is related to playing time, then it's probably something along the lines of a few series in the 2Q or something ...
September 10th, 2010 at 2:30 PM ^
Perhaps this is naïve, but that little :) makes me feel good about this secret.
September 10th, 2010 at 2:30 PM ^
Well done, Mike. What Michigan needs is more of your sideshow BS before ND.
September 10th, 2010 at 2:32 PM ^
You never know . . . maybe Mrs. Forcier is pregnant.

but the baby is considering transferring to a new womb. I heard family playtime and a potential pre-school was an issue. Of course, a model/waitress told me that.
September 10th, 2010 at 4:11 PM ^
Close, but no. I think it was the economy of Ifj75's zinger that made the difference.
September 10th, 2010 at 4:25 PM ^
If this tweet really is related to a significant wrinkle in the game plan, or something to do with Tate transferring, Momma Forcier should be fucking ashamed of herself for the need to draw attention to her and her son leading up to the game. Jesus. "I've got a secret :)" What is she, thirteen years old?
QBForce is getting to the point where I don't even get irritated with Tate when he acts a little immature or arrogant - the website makes it seem like it would be a miracle for someone with his upbringing not to have a narcissistic streak a mile wide.
September 10th, 2010 at 2:31 PM ^
Tate getting back into the lineup to see the field? Why does the thought of him transferring fill me with dread after UCONN?
September 10th, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
I don't think Tate seeing the field is good news at all. I think it would means that Denard is hurt or drunk or something.
September 10th, 2010 at 3:40 PM ^
or the more plausible explantation that RichRod wants to throw a different look and a different style offense at ND.
September 10th, 2010 at 3:52 PM ^
Sure, for variety's sake let's make sure the guy who accounted for almost 400 yards of total offense isn't on the field as much as possible.
Fuck a different look.
I'm really not hating on Forcier here, but if anyone can explain to me why Denard should get fewer snaps after his performance against UConn, I'm all ears. Unless he's hurt. Or in the midst of an ether binge.
September 10th, 2010 at 3:56 PM ^
It's just keeping the look changing. Seriously, after you spend all week preparing for that guy, having Forcier come out and start delivering quite a different set of plays, including some deep balls and so on, would really mess with you. Put Forcier in for a series, and then go back to Denard. The young defensive guys are so shook up they've now forgotten their Denard assignments.
September 10th, 2010 at 4:28 PM ^
What Blazefire is saying is that its not about Tate or Denard, its about FUCKING UP Notre Dame.
September 10th, 2010 at 4:00 PM ^
To reiterate what Blazefire said, it's not about giving Denard fewer touches, it's about giving the opposing defense fits by preparing for a guy with Denard's skills and going with a guy with a completely different set of skills for a series or 2.
September 10th, 2010 at 4:11 PM ^
I understand that this is the logic you're using. But it doesn't make any sense to throw another QB in when your starter looks great in all aspects of the game. If Denard is throwing short routes with touch and accuracy, making good reads, throwing over the middle when it's open, and doing the dilithium thing ... man, that's far more worrisome to a defense than any hypothetical change of pace. Forcier would be more a breather for the defense than a headache, if Denard is playing anything like he did against UConn.
If Rich decides to bring Tate in just because it's something different - and not because Denard is struggling in practice this week for whatever reason - it would be a case of him being too goddamn clever for his own good. If you've got a stud at QB, you keep him in there. End of. Ask John Cooper whether it was worth taking Joe Germaine out for Stanley Jackson's change of pace against Michigan.
September 10th, 2010 at 4:22 PM ^
When your "breather" is facing the guy that tore your heart out a year ago, and you could've swore wouldn't be playing, that isn't really a breather is it?
September 10th, 2010 at 4:36 PM ^
Maybe just seeing Tate will make the ND defense relive last year's game, and shake their confidence. But I doubt it. I really have to think they'd be more worried about the QB who's at least two steps faster than their fastest player.
Seriously, at this point are we really sure that Tate is offering significant skills that Denard doesn't have? We know that Denard is much faster, a much more effective runner, and therefore much more in command of Rodriguez's offensive bread and butter. Denard also has a much stronger arm, and was very, very accurate against UConn. Does everyone just assume that Tate's deep ball is considerably better than Denard's, even though we haven't seen Tate air it out with success since the ND game last year, and even though Denard has the stronger arm? Of what, exactly, does Tate's change of pace consist? (Other than the obvious change from 'threat to score every time he takes off' to 'threat to pick up 5-10 yards when protection breaks down.)
One of the greatest parts about Denard's performance against UConn, to me, is that most of what he accomplished on each play was within the framework of that particular playcall. He ran the offense, and he ran it like a well-oiled machine. Much of Tate's success, on the other hand, came from improvisation - a hell of a lot of scrambling and moxie. Certainly, a great QB needs to improvise, but I think Denard's speed allows him to do so just as well as Tate, and with considerably less risk. And, as we saw last year, Tate was frequently on the razor's edge of gutsy brilliance and crippling irresponsibility with the football. I'm sure he knows the offense better as a sophomore than he did last year, but I really don't see the advantage in putting him in unless Denard is struggling. I think it's absolutely bizarre that people still don't consider Denard to have earned the sole starting spot, at least for a week, after the brilliant show he put on against UConn.
September 10th, 2010 at 4:47 PM ^
Don't get me wrong, Denard should be the starter after last weeks game but as Brian said we still don't know how well Denard reads the defense. We don't know if he can come off the primary receiver and such. Keep in mind, we aren't talking about trotting out Sheridan (no disrespect to Nick), we are talking about bringing in a guy who is experienced, a proven passer and can read defenses extremely well. I'm not saying that Tate should play half the game but a series or 2 just to give ND headaches and torch them through the air like he did last year.
September 10th, 2010 at 4:53 PM ^
On 'reads defenses very well." Where's the evidence for this? Tate scrambled at the slightest provocation last year, and frequently threw dangerous/ill-advised passes. He certainly did a poor job reading defenses on the read option, as well?
This is what's getting my dander up here - why is everyone assuming that Tate is so much better as a passer than Denard? Maybe Denard will revert to what he looked like last year, but all the buzz since spring was that he had made huge strides as a passer, and it looked like the UConn game validated that. Even if Forcier is slightly better and making reads than Denard, that advantage would be completely negated by the fact that Denard's speed makes his reads much, much easier to make - see: Oh wow he's open.
I'm glad Tate will be available if Denard struggles at length or, god forbid, gets hurt. He's not a bad player. But unless that happens, I think it would be crazy to get him in the game.
September 10th, 2010 at 5:01 PM ^
Fair enough, I can honestly say that I do not know football enough to see what reads QB's are making while the play is going on but seeing how Tate has been groomed to be a QB since he could walk, I'm assuming he has a good handle on the game plus the fact he isn't the most athletic player on the field (or at his position).
I will say this, I suppose I am assuming Tate is a better passer than Denard at the moment because I have seen what Tate can do while despite Denard's strong spring, fall, and game against UConn, there are still questions about Denard's passing. I'm not trying to hate on Denard or you but even Brian had questions about Denard's passing. Don't get me wrong, Denard's progress is unbelievable from last year to this year and I am a HUGE supporter of Denard and would love to see him torch ND defense with his arms and legs but I wouldn't be surprised to see Tate get some PT this game.
I do agree with you that Denard's speed will open up defenses a lot (read: extremely) and leave receivers wide open FWIW.
September 10th, 2010 at 5:06 PM ^
I think what I'm saying is that until ND proves that Denard's passing is still a weakness in this offense, there's no reason to put Tate in. Basically, that means that Tate is the backup, who should be ready if called upon.
But if Rodriguez is planning to put Forcier in no matter what, - if there's some kind of predetermined rotation - I'm seriously questioning that logic. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Go Blue.
September 10th, 2010 at 5:12 PM ^
Alright I get what your saying and I hope that your correct that Denard's passing has improved enough to the point were it wouldn't be reason enough to put Tate in for no reason. (Not trying to disrespect Tate here but hoping Denard is well made of dilithium with Henne arms)
Go Blue! and Beat the Irish!

He suggested I use one of the new black bevel gears from the new Evolution sets. Brilliant! why didn't I think of that?... Something I only realised recently is that it is possible to thread the socket/hole of any Meccano tri-axle part without preventing it from being used as intended. This made fixing much easier. A tyre with a spacer washer inside can be bolted to the socket of a plastic bevel and plugged into the top of the smoke stack. I think this is a huge improvement, Thanks Mike!

I took part in a Tax Time Doll Swap using the colors red, white and blue. It was a challenge to make the blocks measure about 3 inches or smaller. I signed up because I needed a distraction. I was going to have surgery on my cervical spine in April and didn't want to think about it.
As the deadline loomed near, I realized that I had to finish it before surgery on April 6th. It was not due until April 15th. I finished it on April 4th except for the label on the back. Doctor said NO SEWING for 2 weeks! I'm thinking, "Yeah Right"! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Motion is painful, but I was determined to do all of the mini quilt myself. It came out really nice. I was able to add the label by hand on April 11th.

NEWRY — Gould Academy in the White Mountains has inspired young skiers since it was formed in 1836. Its ski instructor program, started a quarter of a century ago, is new by comparison. But it has taught thousands of elementary school children in surrounding communities to ski.
Enthusiastic, energetic student instructors at the academy have given lessons in the Rugrats program to many children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to try skiing.
And this year for the second winter, the Rugrats have helped athletes with disabilities at the Maine Adaptive Sport program, formerly Maine Handicapped Skiing.
Of the 230 full-time students at Gould this year, 40 help the Rugrats program, teaching 230 elementary school students.
It's a situation where they get more than they give.
"Because we ski every day, we don't appreciate what we have. We don't realize how lucky we are to get to ski. But each week when we teach the students, we see their excitement," said Gould senior Mirina Sato of Tokyo. "That makes me realize some kids don't get to ski. This is the only way many of them can ski."
Last year the folks at Maine Adaptive Sport looked at the high-energy high school skiers leading parades of youth around the mountain and considered the possibilities. Since they're on the mountain every day anyway, why not recruit them to help instruct athletes with disabilities?
The Gould students were intrigued. Last year, five signed up. This year, nine are helping Maine Adaptive, including three who returned.
"It's awesome. The work is physically demanding. These young students are fit and better skiers. And having the high schoolers lends an air of credibility. They're a breath of fresh air, a burst of energy," said Maine Adaptive Sport outreach director Eric Topper.
Liam Gillis of Boston tried helping in the more challenging program last year, and as a sophomore became a champion for the cause.
He started a Facebook page to invite other Gould students to the new program, and now plans to get certified as an adaptive instructor through the Professional Ski Instructors Association.
"It's fun coming up here every day, and the people show you how much you help them. I love spreading the word to the whole Gould community," Gillis said.
Margaret Adams of Anchorage, Alaska, is another who tried adaptive ski coaching last year. She plans to do her senior project this spring on the same program offered in Alaska. She believes the adaptive culture at Gould will grow.
"I think this is intimidating to some kids. It requires a little more responsibility and some kids are nervous about that. But at Maine Adaptive, they're all really happy we're here," Adams said.
It's an extension of a program that has spread winter smiles for decades.
For 25 years, the Rugrats program has taught third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at no charge, while Sunday River also has provided rental equipment and ski passes for free. Three years ago Sunday River expanded its role, offering free lessons and rentals to area school kids from kindergarten through second grade.
"A lot of these kids, this is the only time they get to ski. Some of them have never ever been here before and they live right at the doorstep of the mountain," said Sunday River ski instructor Meredith Harrop of Newport, R.I.
Gould senior Elina Rowe knows how much the Rugrats program means to local kids. She's from Tampa, Fla., and only learned to ski when she came to Gould.
"The kids always, always want to ski. It makes me more excited to ski, even in the cold days. If the kids are happy, then you're happy," Rowe said as she rode the chair lift with two fifth graders.
Carol Rodriguez also is new to skiing, having grown up in Madrid. In her second year skiing, she wanted to give back the same way Rowe did.
"I like seeing the kids with that smile on their faces while they learn something new. They love it, you can tell," Rodriguez said.
The take-home message to the Gould students? They are lucky mountain people.
"The majority of these kids would not be able to ski. This is their only chance," said Gould senior Nick Schwarz.

As we celebrate 40 years of New Art, New Ideas, we take this occasion to reaffirm our core values, reflect on our history, confront the present, and continue to imagine the future.
The New Museum began as an idea in the mind of founding Director Marcia Tucker. As a curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1967 through 1976, Tucker observed firsthand that new work by living artists was not easily assimilated into the conventional exhibition and collection structure of the traditional art museum.
The New Museum, designed by Tokyo-based architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA, is a seven-story, eight-level structure located at 235 Bowery between Stanton and Rivington Streets, at the origin of Prince Street in New York City. SANAA was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2010 and was named one of "The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies" by Fast Company in 2016.
The New Museum gratefully acknowledges the support of the following individuals, corporations, foundations, and public agencies that support our annual programs and general operations. Sincere thanks to all New Museum Members whose support is crucial to our mission and program.

COUNTRY CLUB HILLS, Ill. (STMW) — A faulty space heater left on after owners left their home caused a fire just a few doors away from a south suburban fire station Friday morning.
The blaze started about 9:45 a.m. Friday in a house at 4440 W. 183rd St., according to County Club Hills spokeswoman Marge Seltzner. The home is a few doors west of the fire station, she said.
An employee of the city Department of Public Works saw the fire while driving past the home and called 911, she said.
The blaze damaged the family room, living room and kitchen of the home. A space heater with a faulty cord that had been left on appears to be the cause of the fire, Seltzner said.
"No one was home, but they left the space heater running," Seltzner said.
The fire was out by 11 a.m. and no injuries were reported.

An article on diving published in 2006 was the catalyst for a lifetime of excitement and new adventures for Dragos Dumitrescu. Now a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, Dragos jumped fin first into diving after taking his Open Water course in the Black Sea. He said despite the "low vis and cold water… the feeling was amazing!" So addicted and passionate about diving Dragos continued to look for ways to spend as much time as possible in the water diving. He became a PADI Divemaster in 2009, which was where the real journey began.
Dragos uses ScubaEarth to log dives and look for friends and students, and he certainly has found them! With over 700 dive buddies Dragos continues to share his passion with the world, saying that ScubaEarth is "the best way to keep in contact, plan trips [and] dive together."
Dragos has dived in many locations around the world and lists the Similan Islands in Thailand, Apo Island in the Philippines and Lembongan in Indonesia as some of his favorites. Recalling one story from leading a dive in the Maldives, he chuckles, as he explains that he was trying to show his divers the best that this particular dive site had to offer. He had spotted a goby in the sand, poking its head out watching the group. Trying to alert his divers to this, he was only getting back a mixture of funny signs, big eyes or laughter. Mystified he continued the dive, and it was only when they had surfaced did the real reason emerge. Looking at a photo that one of the divers had taken, directly above him [whilst he was preoccupied pointing out the goby], was a HUGE manta gliding past that he had completely missed!
As a devoted marine enthusiast, Dragos' top tip for diving is simply "Love the ocean. With that everything will come and improve: buoyancy, air consumption, conservationism etc."
Clear waters are on the horizon for Dragos next dive conquests which include the Galapagos, the cenotes in Mexico and places like Raja Ampat and Komodo.
To connect with Dragos on ScubaEarth and follow his next adventures send him a buddy request today!

I like this a lot. It makes great use of the theme, in both pic and message, and yet crosses genre's with the music. As both a Cash fan, a guitar player, and a guy who is doing his best to walk the line, I'd buy this in a heart beat. Great job.

Honestly, this is too low on the shirt. I know people say "no one tucks in their t-shirts anymore" but I know guys that do and they just wouldn't appreciate a controller in their pants. (don't most gamer nerds just flat out want a girl there anyway?)
I think it would have benefited from being on a gray instead (we don't have silver, and heather wouldn't have worked, so you're stuck with asphalt) but I would have made the line red to make it stand out and be vibrant, not subtle. There's nothing subtle about old skool consoles.
I can't say i agree, but thanks.

I was feeling slightly silly for posting this after seeing everyone else's awesome entries...but what I don't have in detail, I hope I made up with humor. Thank you for the feedback!
Re: Chasing Lasers
I like it. Some of the more complicated designs are hard to see. It almost looks like the string is trying to spell out Meow which would have been cute too.

Evelynn Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Well this is the build that i have been doing quite well with, you need to be able to be good at doing hit and runs and moving across the map for constant ganks. If played well this build works like a charm, I can fairly consistently get about a 2 to 1 kill death ratio with this build.
Note on Item build: yes you buy the items in that order, but you sell the picks as the time goes on to make room for Zonyas -> Scepter -> Staff
Ignite is a great way to get early game kills and finishing later game, flash can be used quite effectively to escape in combination with shadow walk as well as a great offensive ability as well. you can get countless kills by popping your ult flashing into the tower with their hero teleporting out- kill him and get out.
Runes are for damage increase and survivability although I am currently considering swapping out my hp per 5 for AP per level.
Have fun!
If you have questions or constructive criticism feel free to post.

(NEW YORK) — Syrian President Bashar al-Assad receives information from the United States regarding the fight against ISIS, he revealed in an interview with the BBC, but he denied that the countries are coordinating their efforts against the terrorist group, which has taken control of large swathes of Syria and Iraq.
"They don't talk to us, we don't talk to them," he said.
"Sometimes they convey a message, a general message but there's nothing tactical," Assad told the BBC's Jeremy Bowen in a rare interview, adding that Iraq and other countries act as third parties and that he knew about the U.S.-led coalition's bombing campaign before it started in September.
"There is no dialogue. There is, let's say, information but not dialogue," Assad said.
By carrying out missions in the skies over Syria, Assad said, "they easily trample over international law."
Assad appeared confident and defiant during the half-hour interview. He dismissed video evidence and widespread accusations by human rights groups that his military has dropped "barrel bombs" — canisters packed with explosives — on civilian populations.
"We have bombs, missiles and bullets. No indiscriminate weapons," Assad said. "There are no barrel bombs, we don't have barrels.
"When you shoot you aim, and when you shoot, when you aim, you aim at terrorists in order to protect civilians," he added. "You cannot have war without casualties."
Those bombs, Human Rights Watch reported last year, contain cylinders of chlorine gas. Syria agreed to hand over its entire chemical weapons arsenal for destruction but has still faced accusations that it continues to use chlorine gas, another charge Assad denied.
The president danced around questions about personal mistakes he has made during the now almost four-year war in Syria, saying simply, "everybody makes mistakes."
He also called it a "fantasy" that the early protests against his government — long before ISIS and al Qaeda had a foothold in Syria — were peaceful, pointing to police who were "not killed by sound waves."
From the beginning, the Assad government has claimed that it was battling terrorists, that there was no moderate rebel movement. Assad still claims that he has popular support. Otherwise, he said, "how could I stay in power?"
Assad's confidence didn't waver during the interview, even when asked at the end what keeps him up at night.
"Many reasons that could affect any human," he answered. "Could be your job, could be personal. Like any other human."

PARIS — Philip Roth has never lived in France, reads French literature only in translation and has never set a novel in Paris, the cliched province of the lonely urban saunterer and existential ennui.
To say the least, the French do not seem to mind. This month, the titan of American letters has won one of this country's highest literary honors -- an exceedingly rare accolade for a living author, especially a foreign one. All of Roth's fiction will now be available in the famed "Pléiade," a series published by the prestigious Éditions Gallimard with the aim of showcasing the highlights of French and world literature.
This means far more than just expensive new editions of his work, printed on pages that feel like the Bible and luxuriously bound in gold-embossed leather. It means that Roth, 84, is now an official member of the French literary pantheon, ensuring that generations of foreign readers will study him with the reverence reserved for the so-called great books. In a secular society that still tends to venerate literary achievement the way America worships athletics, the Pléiade is, in a sense, the Bible.
Even Roth seems a bit surprised by this latest addition to his long list of honors. "I seem to have found a sizable audience in France and a large rapport with my French readers, though exactly why I can't say," he novelist wrote in an email.
Indeed, the reasons for Roth's popularity in France remain hard to tease out.
While French readers have long had a soft spot for American writers, they typically prefer those who moved to France and adopted it as their own: James Baldwin, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and the like. As Stein wrote in 1936, in what became a kind of motto for many: "America is my country and Paris is my hometown."
That is not the path taken by Roth, whose spiritual hometown has always remained the Newark of his birth, the middle-class maelstrom a world away from the colossus across the Hudson River -- let alone cosmopolitan Paris. Perhaps the only thing that links him to those francophile expatriates is his professed admiration for French literary culture.
As he wrote to The Post: "Colette the great sensualist, [Albert] Camus the great conscience, [François] Mauriac the great moralist, [Jean] Genet the great transgressor, and [Louis-Ferdinand] Céline, to my mind, the greatest novelist of all -- brutal, fierce, the driven witness of an elemental world who takes us deeper and deeper into the night. Death, dying, crime, guilt, grievance, lunacy, sex -- all of that and more is his daily business."
Céline, another member of the Pléiade, is a complicated figure. While critics still praise his style, the interwar writer penned a number of passionately anti-Semitic pamphlets in the late 1930s, notably the infamous "Bagatalles pour un massacre." Roth declined to say whether that disturbs him.
For the most part, Roth's own "daily business" has been the insular world of suburban New Jersey, where he finds any number of deeper themes: among them the hollowness of the American Dream, the subterranean world of male anxiety and, profoundly, the postwar experience of American Jews. Although far from universally beloved in the United States, where the critic Vivian Gornick once likened the misogyny in his novels to "lava pouring out of an active volcano," Roth remains a cultural touchstone, if not a national treasure.
The question is: Do any of his major themes resonate in France?
France may be home to Europe's largest Jewish population, but Roth is not necessarily seen here as a "Jewish writer" per se. The books of his that have been most successful in France -- notably, "The Human Stain," which appeared in translation in 2002 to widespread critical acclaim -- have not expressly dealt with the issue. "The Human Stain," for instance, is ultimately a novel about political correctness, originally released in the aftermath of the impeachment hearings against President Bill Clinton.
"The French really don't know what to make of the Jewish aspect of books such as 'Operation Shylock' or 'The Counterlife,' " said Marc Weizmann, a French novelist who recently interviewed Roth for Le Monde.
"The way Israel figures in these novels makes them uncomfortable, and that includes the French Jews," Weizmann said. "And then, of course, there's the French reluctance to grapple with the theme of anti-Semitism whenever it appears in his work. The more nuanced he gets on this issue, the more at loss they are."
In general, the books that made Roth a household name in the United States at a young age -- autobiographical-style novels like "Goodbye, Columbus" (1959) and "Portnoy's Complaint" (1969), often pilloried by feminist critics -- did not find a wide readership in France. More popular here are the novels Roth published when he was older, setting his sights on broader social and historical themes.
"Well, one changes with experience," Roth wrote in his emailed statement, describing that shift. "The impact of the world changes. In order to draw on history in my fiction I, for one, had first to live through the assault of history and to be able to look back upon decade after decade of eventfulness in order to locate the consequential moments that excited my imagination and that seemed, from the perspective of an advanced age, to have a special salience. What I was able to write about at 50 and 60 was not obtainable at 30."
For the prominent French writer Bernard-Henry Lévy, who said he has read Roth voraciously for decades, these later works, including "The Human Stain," are masterpieces. They grapple, he said, with the questions that also define contemporary France: above all, minority relations and identity politics.

"What's interesting about Roth for a French reader -- given that France is a country that has been galvanized by an obsession with identity that is very unique -- is that he plays with all identities," Lévy said. "Maleness, Americanness and Jewishness."
Also appreciated in France is Roth's long history of engagement with Europe and its literature. Throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s, for instance, he edited a series titled "Writers From the Other Europe," meant to introduce what were then lesser-known writers from Eastern Europe to the American public. Among them were Milan Kundera, Bruno Schulz and Tadeusz Borowski.
But to others here, there is also something essentially French about Roth: his sexual frankness. His fearless fusion of the personal with the political. And perhaps above all else, his persona -- specifically, the way he appears to live single-mindedly for his craft: prolific, slightly hermetic but nevertheless a cultural constant, active for more than half a century.
"He represents for the French a certain image of the 'great American novelist,' " Weizmann said. "Literature remains important in France, and Roth may be the last living writer anywhere for whom literature is everything. He's like a Flaubert for our time."

My experience with magic mushrooms. in English, so people from outside the NL can also read.
type I used: sclerotia hollandia
amount: about 5 grams
environment: friends house
people there: a couple friends (8 at the beginning, including me, one left halfway through)
My experience with magic mushrooms. in English, so people from outside the NL can also read.
type I used: sclerotia hollandia
amount: about 5 grams
environment: friends house
people there: a couple friends (8 at the beginning, including me, one left halfway through)
we were at my friends birthday, and beforehand he and I decided we'd try mushrooms. He'd already done it once before, it was my very first time. I brought 30 grams, and we split over 6 people. two of our friends didn't take, one didn't feel like tripping and the other was our sitter.
quick disclaimer, I had never been to this friend's house before, so it was kind of a unknown environment. I do not recommend this for your first time. for me it helped that my friend gave us a quick tour through his house, and we had a few hours there before we took the mushrooms.
the mushrooms were gross. no way around it. they were very sour and bitter, but the taste wasn't a huge issue. we chewed them for about a minute and then swallowed.
after about five minutes I started feeling slightly nauseous. nothing too bad though. this quickly went away to make place for a weird tingly sensation in my stomach, which I found to be pretty nice. this warm feeling slowly spread around my body towards my chest and head.
the trip builds up very gradually, so it was hard to tell when I really started tripping. I do know that before there were any visuals, I already felt as if I was sinking through the floor (I was sitting on the ground) and as if the wall behind me fell over. it was all very weird. at some point certain patterns on the walls started to shift and move, which was pretty cool. around this time everyone was laughing their asses off, because everything just seemed so funny. I remember at one point standing in the hallway, emptying a whole can of whipped cream into a small cardboard box, just laughing maniacally. when my friends noticed, they joined in the fun and we all were just going crazy laughing about this stupid box filled with whipped cream. it was a great time.
there were also less funny moments, when I would go into another room to isolate myself. this was mostly around the peak of the trip, and I was just going around not knowing what to do, being generally pretty loud and a it obnoxious. now my friend lives in a flat, so the neighbours from underneath came to complain about the noise a couple times, so the sitter decided that the group was too loud and to split it up. this is amongst other reasons why I decided to isolate myself in this other room.
in there the visuals were really starting to pick up. my skin looked weird, everything was moving, and the walls were just morphing. there I felt a little alone, but it wasn't really a bad time.
we also went outside, and what I still remember as one of the most beautiful things about this trip was the reflection in the water. it was mind blowing beautiful.
the whole trip lasted about 6 hours with a little after "high". it was a very fun time, we had loads of fun gaming together and just laughing at everything.
our tripsitter got drunk halfway through and stopped really caring, which wasn't a problem but could have been.

Coach Anna Vidal-Kaufman and Friedrich Krauch and Nicky Greenberg of Team Zambia
Zambia vs. Uruguay: Its a whole new world of soccer
By Judith Stiles
Persistent rain drenched the majority of ball fields Columbus Day Weekend, resulting in the cancellation of flag football games, fall baseball and even soccer matches. On Saturday, while puddles formed on the courtyard at Pier 40, several teams from the Manhattan Kickers soccer club tried to escape the rain by leaving town for a big tournament in Pennsylvania, only to find that a torrential downpour made those fields unplayable too. The relentless bad weather forced the teams to turn right around and come back to the Big Apple because the tournament was cancelled.
Dozens of grumpy kids were relegated to a Saturday of being cooped up indoors. But by Sunday, the hearty soccer teams in the Downtown United Soccer Club recreational program showed up for their games at Pier 40, anxious to kick the ball around, in spite of a misty cold drizzle. Steven Kaufman, Division 5 coordinator of 8-year-old boys and girls, stood on the sidelines and happily watched his wife, Anna Vidal-Kaufman, prepare her team, Zambia, with pregame drills and a relaxed pep talk about positions on the field.
I was a replacement coach last year, but this year I realized I had learned a great deal about the game from the soccer moms coach, Manny DAlmeida, so now I have my own team, said Vidal-Kaufman, as she bolted onto the field to adeptly demonstrate the proper way to pass the ball.
Sixteen-year-old Eliot Gardiner, a junior at the Nest School, was the licensed referee who set a positive tone for the game, as he sometimes stopped the game to make corrections on the field. Early in the game, he blew the whistle, leaned over the players and smiled, as he explained the soft offside rule, which meant no player was allowed to hang around the opposing teams net, waiting to receive a pass for a sneaky goal.
During the first half of the game there was the typical beehiving around the ball where most of the players followed the ball in a bunch, only to see a single player burst out from the pack with the ball for a breakaway. However, Zambias Friedrich Krauch played excellent defense never beehiving but always in position, skillfully thwarting several scoring attempts by Team Uruguay.
Five minutes into the first half, Zambias David Vidal-Kaufman skillfully dribbled his way through a pack of defenders and planted the ball in the right-hand corner of the net for the first goal. A parent from Uruguay yelled out to his team, Dont be so polite! as the game continued. Roland Wynter was goalkeeper for Uruguay and although he made three great kick-saves, he could not stop his cousin Carlton Wynter, who scored two goals in the first half on breakaways. Uruguays Zachary Zamsky answered with a blast into the back of the net, leaving the score at halftime 3-1 in favor of Zambia.
In the second half, nobody from Uruguay could score on Zambias star goalie, Nicky Greenberg, who made five great saves without goalie gloves. Although Uruguay coaches Isam Salah and Stuart Zamsky downplayed the importance of keeping score, every kid new exactly what the score was at the end of the game and could describe the goals in detail. However, at the end of the game, there was an eerie-but-pleasant lack of enthusiasm for winning, and on the flipside no Uruguayans seemed at all upset by losing 5-1. As the players trotted off the field, the postgame chatter was about the upcoming clinics, where recreational players can learn more about the game from professional coaches.
This year Downtown United boasts eight co-ed recreational divisions, as well as three divisions just for girls, travel teams and a new program of tournament teams in which players attend at least five local tournaments a year. The most popular addition to the club is the free instruction for parents who are coaching in which they can obtain an F-class license after a weekend of rigorous instruction on how to be an effective coach.
This new licensing program has caused a major shift in the atmosphere of the rec program, resulting in newly educated coaches placing an emphasis on building skills as they de-emphasize the importance of winning or losing. And although one wont find many kids shouting, We won! We won! after the games, it is still in their DNA to keep track of the score and Oh yes, Carlton got a hat trick, mumbled one of the players as he stood in line to shake his opponents hands.

DEAD RIVER TOWNSHIP — Officials say it took rescuers nine hours to bring an injured hiker to safety after he fell and possibly broke his shoulder on a western Maine mountain.
The Maine Warden Service says rescuers responded to a call shortly after 10 a.m. Tuesday of a hiker on the Appalachian Trail who had injured himself in the Bigelow Range in Dead River Township.
A warden service spokesman tells the Sun Journal it took a long time to get 52-year-old Douglas Doane of Atlantic Beach, Fla., out of the woods because the trail is so remote and fairly steep.
Barrett said Doane was taken by ambulance to Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington. He said Doane was hiking with his niece and had been hiking different sections of the Appalachian Trail.

CRS Annotated Constitution
|Article I -- Table of Contents
|Prev | Next
Federal Regulation of Intrastate Rates (The Shreveport Doctrine).—Although its statutory jurisdiction did not apply to intrastate rate systems, the Commission early asserted the right to pass on rates, which, though in effect on intrastate lines, gave these lines competitive advantages over interstate lines the rates of which the Commission had set. This power the Supreme Court upheld in a case involving a line operating wholly intrastate in Texas but which paralleled within Texas an interstate line operating between Louisiana and Texas; the Texas rate body had fixed the rates of the intrastate line substantially lower than the rate fixed by the ICC on the interstate line. "Wherever the interstate and intrastate transactions of carriers are so related that the government of the one involves the control of the other, it is Congress, and not the State, that is entitled to prescribe the final and dominant rule, for otherwise Congress would be denied the exercise of its constitutional authority and the States and not the Nation, would be supreme in the national field."679
The same holding was applied in a subsequent case in which the Court upheld the Commission's action in annulling intrastate passenger rates it found to be unduly low in comparison with the rates the Commission had established for interstate travel, thus tending to thwart, in deference to a local interest, the general purpose of the act to maintain an efficient transportation service for the benefit of the country at large.680[p.179]
Federal Protection of Labor in Interstate Rail Transportation.— Federal entry into the field of protective labor legislation and the protection of organization efforts of workers began in connection with the railroads. The Safety Appliance Act of 1893,681 applying only to cars and locomotives engaged in moving interstate traffic, was amended in 1903 so as to embrace much of the intrastate rail systems on which there was any connection with interstate commerce.682 The Court sustained this extension in language much like that it would use in the Shreveport case three years later.683 These laws were followed by the Hours of Service Act of 1907,684 which prescribed maximum hours of employment for rail workers in interstate or foreign commerce. The Court sustained the regulation as a reasonable means of protecting workers and the public from the hazards which could develop from long, tiring hours of labor.685
Most far–reaching of these regulatory measures were the Federal Employers Liability Acts of 1906686 and 1908.687 These laws were intended to modify the common–law rules with regard to the liability of employers for injuries suffered by their employees in the course of their employment and under which employers were generally not liable. Rejecting the argument that regulation of such relationships between employers and employees was a reserved state power, the Court adopted the argument of the United States that Congress was empowered to do anything it might deem appropriate to save interstate commerce from interruption or burdening and that inasmuch as the labor of employees was necessary for the function of commerce Congress could certainly act to ameliorate conditions that made labor less efficient, less economical, and less reliable. Assurance of compensation for injuries growing out of negligence in the course of employment was such a permissible regulation.688[p.180]
Legislation and litigation dealing with the organizational rights of rail employees are dealt with elsewhere.689
Regulation of Other Agents of Carriage and Communications.—In 1914, the Court affirmed the power of Congress to regulate the transportation of oil and gas in pipe lines from one State to another and held that this power applied to the transportation even though the oil or gas was the property of the lines.690 Subsequently, the Court struck down state regulation of rates of electric current generated within that State and sold to a distributor in another State as a burden on interstate commerce.691 Proceeding on the assumption that the ruling meant the Federal Government had the power, Congress in the Federal Power Act of 1935 conferred on the Federal Power Commission authority to regulate the wholesale distribution of electricity in interstate commerce692 and three years later vested the FPC with like authority over natural gas moving in interstate commerce.693 Thereafter, the Court sustained the power of the Commission to set the prices at which gas originating in one State and transported into another should be sold to distributors wholesale in the latter State.694 "The sale of natural gas originating in the State and its transportation and delivery to distributors in any other State constitutes interstate commerce, which is subject to regulation by Congress. . . . The authority of Congress to regulate the prices of commodities in interstate commerce is at least as great under the Fifth Amendment as is that of the States under the Fourteenth to regulate the prices of commodities in intrastate commerce."695
Other acts regulating commerce and communication originating in this period have evoked no basic constitutional challenge.[p.181]These include the Federal Communications Act of 1934, providing for the regulation of interstate and foreign communication by wire and radio,696 and the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938, providing for the regulation of all phases of airborne commerce, foreign and interstate.697

watching even a tiny gleam perform,
devouring ill, sparkling joy despite forlorn,
exhorts a hearty & happy year merely born
The clear blue sky, The scent of flowers,
The colors of Rangoli, And the sound of crackers.
The gifts and sweets from dear ones,
And the getting of their love,
The light of the candles below,
And the dazzling fireworks up above.
Lighting lamps at our homes,
Making the less fortunate smile,
Putting on new apparels,
Show our friends some style.
Paying respects to the gods,
And decorating for them the thali,
This is what the occasion is all about,

Prosecutors extend detention of former Tijuana mayor
Ex-mayor of Tijuana denies knowing about weapons seized on his property
Mexican military detains former Tijuana Mayor Jorge Hank Rhon
This was no ordinary suspect as a heavily guarded convoy of vehicles pulled up to a federal courthouse in this city's Río Zone on Wednesday afternoon. As soldiers stood guard, Jorge Hank Rhon arrived in a gray Suburban to face charges of amassing weapons and ammunition at his Tijuana estate.
Four days after his arrest, the 55-year-old gambling magnate and former Tijuana mayor continued to command intense attention as he came to the courthouse accompanied by 10 fellow suspects, many of them guards from his Agua Caliente compound. The next few days will be critical: The judge now has 72 hours to decide whether to release Hank or hold him for trial — double that time if she demands it.
Hank, one of Mexico's wealthiest and most politically connected citizens, is known for his unusual lifestyle, including his love of exotic animals and a family that includes 19 children from several women. His critics said that for far too long, Hank has been allowed to operate with impunity. Though hounded for years by allegations of criminal activity that include money laundering, drug trafficking and the killing of a journalist, he had never been charged with a serious crime.
His supporters contend that with next year's presidential election in Mexico, the arrest is a heavy-handed maneuver by President Felipe Calderón, a member of the National Action Party, or PAN, to discredit the rival Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI. A presidential candidate from the PRI, Enrique Peña Nieto, is the current front-runner.
"Hank is PRI royalty," said Federico Estévez, a political analyst at the Autonomous Technical Institute of Mexico. "That makes this a very special case."
The days following Hank's arrest have been filled with public drama. Looking frail after an illness, Hank's wife, María Elvia Amaya, held a news conference Sunday questioning the legality of the detention. She said the soldiers who raided her family's compound never presented a warrant. She also read a handwritten note from her husband alleging that he had no knowledge of the weapons they confiscated: 88 firearms, 70 ammunition clips, more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition and a gas grenade.
On Tuesday, a crowd of several thousand PRI members swarmed a traffic circle near the federal Attorney General's Office in Tijuana to protest Hank's detention. Many were "Hankistas" bused in from working-class neighborhoods of Tijuana where Hank and his wife have for years built networks of supporters by offering food baskets and health care and inviting them for celebrations at the Agua Caliente racetrack.
Hank was initially flown to Mexico City after his arrest, but sent back to Tijuana late Tuesday. His legal team has been portraying his return as a victory, a result of a decision by federal prosecutors not to press organized-crime charges.
Early Wednesday, the federal Attorney General's Office charged Hank with illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. It issued a statement saying that 78 of the seized weapons were unlicensed and that 49 were high-caliber weapons meant only for the Mexican military.
Even with his large fortune — he once estimated his worth at more than $500 million — Hank cannot post bail because the seriousness of the charges forbid it.
He faces anywhere from three months to 30 years behind bars if convicted, according to sentencing guidelines outlined in Mexico's federal firearms and explosives law.
At a Wednesday breakfast in Tijuana, Mayor Carlos Bustamante, a member of the PRI, said Hank "may have his issues, but neither he nor anyone deserve to have their rights violated."
Later in the day, Baja Gov. José Guadalupe Osuna Millán, a member of the PAN, called for trust in Mexico's judicial authorities. "I am certain that the institutions will act according to the law," he said. "We must ... not speculate about information we don't yet know."
Hank has long been a divisive figure, a man who commands strong loyalty and generates fierce criticism. He was the subject of a 1999 report by a U.S. agency that accused him and his family of organized crime; the document was later disavowed by then-Attorney General Janet Reno.
He moved to Tijuana in 1985, after receiving a federal concession to operate the Agua Caliente Racetrack. He now oversees Grupo Caliente, whose holdings include the track, the Xoloitzcuintles soccer team and a network of off-track betting operations across Mexico, Latin America and Europe.
The images of Hank on Wednesday were jarring, with photos and video showing him in handcuffs and looking weary.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), it cost the power sector about VND2.547 trillion (US$121.3 million) to provide cheap power to the steel and cement sectors in 2010 alone. Foreign invested steel manufacturers enjoyed about VND506 billion of this sum.
During the same year, steel and cement industries consumed about 11 per cent of the country's total electricity output, accounting for 982 million KWh. They paid just VND914 per KWh which actually cost VND1,180 per KWh to produce.
Last year, the EVN increased electricity prices twice for a total 20 per cent hike, bringing the average price to VND1,304 per KWh. Households were charged VND1,400 per KWh.
An official of the Electricity Regulatory Authority of Viet Nam under the MoIT said households paid higher rates than production sectors because they had the priority for electricity use.
He said if power prices for steelmakers remained cheap, the steel industry would export more. Therefore, a possible halt in steel exports might be considered in order to curb losses incurred from such cheap electricity.
On the Construction Ministry's website, Nguyen Tien Nghi, vice chairman of the Viet Nam Steel Association (VSA) said the hike was unfair for the steel industry, citing that electricity costs accounted for only 0.7 and 5 per cent of the production costs in laminating steel and producing pig iron, respectively. This meant that electricity costs were not the most important proportion in calculating steel production costs.
A sufficient supply of electricity to meet the steel industry's demands was critical and it was agreed that electricity prices should follow the market mechanism, he said.
Nghi also said the steel industry played a key role in the construction and real estate sectors, yet as the real estate market had been sluggish, an increase in electricity prices for the steel industry alone was unacceptable. If required, the price hike should be applied to all sectors, not only steelmakers, he said.
Industry insiders and several steelmakers voiced their concerns about a possible halt in steel product exports, saying that such a halt would not result in a significant power savings.
They said that while the export volume was insignificant, the halt would result in more difficulties for the steel manufacturers as the supply was currently double the demand.
Meanwhile, stockpiled steel will meet domestic market needs for the next few months.
Exporting steel products was considered the best way for the steel industry to avoid stockpiling, they said.
The VSA has called for incentives from the Government to help steel manufacturers sell their products while reducing the trade deficit. — VNS

We should be having epiphanies every day. Trouble is, we're creatures of habit, and epiphanies just don't tend to unfold within the realm of ordinary consciousness. All day long, we're dealing with stresses at work and in traffic and remembering to make creative bag lunches for the kids. So it's a relief to be able to do something that doesn't require thinking — to just do it out of habit.
I sometimes fantasize that it would all be different if I were half-naked in the jungle, living by my wits — living in the moment, always. But I don't really believe Natural Man did any better in this regard. Archaeologists have shown that after Homo sapiens arrived on the scene (around 50,000 years ago), tools remained the same for at least 35,000 years. By nature, we live by convention and habit — a prospect at once reassuring and depressing.
I got to thinking about this last week after my gardening pal Robert Klein called to pick my brain about how to deal with the rye he'd planted as a winter cover crop. I'd encountered the same challenges about 18 years ago and ended up posing the same questions Robert was now asking me.
The first time I grew a winter cover crop, it was rye grass. I planted it in the fall and was thrilled with the luxurious growth of thick, green grass that covered my beds all winter. And when spring came around, I was overjoyed to be able to turn this biomass under with my garden fork. Rye grass has gnarly roots and greenery, and turning it under is downright grueling work. Back then, however, my blue-collar body was in its prime, and I bulled through the work without a second thought.
I grew rye grass for about four winters. It was the cover crop of choice among farmers in southern New England, where I lived. It was also the conventional choice for gardeners like me who followed the advice found in typical gardening books and articles. And indeed, rye is still a popular winter cover crop among farmers all over the country for some pretty good reasons. It grows really fast and will smother weeds. It grows in a wide variety of climates and soils. When it gets turned under in the spring, it puts a healthy amount of nitrogen into the soil to be used by the next round of crops. It adds a reasonable amount of biomass to the soil, which eventually breaks down into humic matter. And it turns under very easily when you're using a tractor and a plow.
But a roto-tiller has a hard time turning under a good crop of winter rye; the long grass and thick root structure get tangled up in the tines. Using a garden fork or shovel is even more frustrating. About the fourth year I did it, I realized it was hard and grueling work — there had to be a better way. Only then did I start exploring other cover-crop options that give similar results but are easier to deal with.
That worthy subject, however, will have to wait till fall. Today's theme is what poor sods like my pal Bob can do if they've had the good sense to plant a cover crop of rye but must now figure out how to make use of it without throwing the back out.
Bob and some other folks had been turning under the rye at the community garden where they tend their plots, only to be confronted with unmanageable chunks of soil, roots and green — quite different from what they'd imagined they would get. So Bob did exactly what I'd done many years ago: He called up someone who might know what to do and asked for advice. It's a common dilemma that all gardeners encounter in their quest for great soil.
There are actually several possible answers to the challenge, and dealing with it can be part of a larger strategic approach to gardening (again, a subject for another day).
In the meantime, however, if you've turned over a bed of winter rye and it looks like the aftermath of a Gettysburg, here's what you can do. Take a hoe or shovel, break up the clods as much as possible, and smooth it all out as best you can. Water the heck out of the broken-up clods. Score enough composted leaves from the municipal leaf dump (at Broadway and Catawba) so you can lay on four inches of that lovely black stuff with a garden fork. (That lucky cuss Bob had some rotted hay mulch at his disposal, which I told him would do just as well.) The goal here is to smother all the organic matter with the chopped-up rye.
Alas, it will take about six weeks before the whole bed will be fit for planting seeds; in the meantime, however, you can make 12-inch openings in the mulch, further refine the chopped-up sod and rye grass you've removed, and mix them with compost or bagged, composted cow manure. Return this mixture to the holes and you'll have perfectly acceptable places to transplant seedlings. Meanwhile (joy of joys), the rest of the bed is already mulched and in a holding pattern while all that great organic matter from the winter rye is breaking down into usable nitrogen and humic matter.
And if you haven't turned over the rye yet, you can just mulch it (or mow it first and then mulch it, being sure to leave the nitrogen-rich clippings where they fall). Either way, you'll spare yourself the backbreaking labor. The rye will rot under the cover of the mulch, enhancing the soil. Meanwhile, transplants can be installed as described, and you've still benefited from your winter rye — without having to schedule an appointment with your chiropractor.

Procmail is a program for filtering, sorting and storing email. It can be used both on mail clients and mail servers. It can be used to filter out spam, checking for viruses, to send automatic replies, etc.
The goal of this article is to teach the configuration of procmail. This article asumes you already have either a email client (mutt, nmh, etc) or a mail server (sendmail, postfix, etc) working, that can use (or requires) procmail. It also assumes you have at least basic knowleadge on regular expressions. This article will give only a minimal explanation, for a complete manual, check the
man procmailrc
Install the package procmail from the official repositories.
Configuration format
The configuration is going to be saved on
~/.procmailrc if this is the configuration for an email client, or on
/etc/procmailrc if is going to be used by an email server.
The configuration is composed of two sections; assignments and recipes.
The assignments section provides variables for procmail
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail DEFAULT=$HOME/Mail/inbox LOGFILE=/dev/null SHELL=/bin/sh
Recipes have the following format:
:0 [flags] [ : [locallockfile] ] <zero or more conditions (one per line)> <exactly one action line>
The conditions are extended regular expressions, with some few extra options. Conditions always start with an asterisk.
The action can be only a mailbox name, or an external program.
Flags and lockfile
For basic recipes, you don't need any flags. But they can be necessary if your script calls an external command. Here is a list of some of the most used flags:
- f Consider the pipe as a filter.
- w Wait for the filter or program to finish and check its exitcode (normally ignored); if the filter is unsuccessful, then the text will not have been filtered.
A condition is an extended regexp, starting with an asterisk, like this one:
* ^From.* someperson@\w+.com
An action can be something as simple as
in that case, the mail that complies with the condition will be saved on the
work inbox.
It could also start with a pipe, which means the message is going to be passed to the standard input of the command following the pipe. A line like that could be something like this:
| /usr/bin/vendor_perl/spamc
The command can alter the message. In this example, the spamassassin command will add headers to the mail, with its spam status level, which later can be used by another recipe to block it, or store it on a different mailbox.

Football Team Welcomes 26 Rookies
Aug. 2, 2001
TUCSON - The University of Arizona's 2001 football training camp began in earnest Thursday with the official check-in of 26 rookie players who will start their Wildcat careers with orientation programs, physical examinations and fundamental practices the next several days.
Aside from expressions of enthusiasm for entering his first regular-season activities as UA's head coach, John Mackovic took a philosophical view of reporting date. 'The first recruiting class for a coach - and that particular group of people - always creates a special bond. The new players agreed to come here without seeing what's on the field. They have a certain dream, like the coach does,' he said.
'They always can say, 'I was in that first class,' and it's a fun group because of that. These players come here with a clean slate and like to write on it,' Mackovic said.
Mackovic, formerly a head coach at Wake Forest, Illinois and Texas, as well as the Kansas City Chiefs, took over the UA program Dec. 4. He worked as an ESPN college football analyst for the past three seasons.
UA's veteran players return Monday and the team will participate in Media Day activities Tuesday before the start of full-team camp Wednesday, Aug. 8.
Mackovic's staff welcomed 16 players signed to grants-in-aid during the spring recruiting period and brought in 10 other non-scholarship student-athletes Thursday. Two February signees, wide receiver Robert Spells and linebacker Bret Stray, did not meet admission standards and did not report.
Six players named to various prep All-America teams are among the reporting class including quarterback Nic Costa of Aloha, Ore., tailback Mike Bell of Phoenix, tight end Brad Brittain of Encinitas, Calif., tailback Gainus Scott of La Porte, Texas, offensive lineman Brandon Hopkins of Mesa, Ariz., and linebacker Pedro Limon of Douglas, Ariz.
The early schedule for the rookies includes practices at 8:45 a.m. and 7:45 p.m. Friday. 'The chance to get out quickly on the field and run around some will help to get the nervousness out,' Mackovic said. 'They'll calm down so much more with that physical activity.' New players also will practice Saturday then participate in academic orientation, placement testing and off-the-field team activities Sunday and Monday.

The Merseyside Transport Trust (MTT) will be holding its running day event on Sunday 10th September to raise funds for the upkeep of its fleet of over 50 vintage vehicles.
This is a rare and unique opportunity to enjoy a ride on some of buses in our collection, some of which featured at The Light Night event back in May. The event is also aimed to attract new members, volunteers, sponsorship & generate interest within the community. This event is in association with Heritage Open Days (HODS).
This years event will feature services between Liverpool, Pier Head Mann Island, Aigburth Vale, Walton, Penny Lane & the surrounding areas. Due to refurbishment works, our event will not be operating from Liverpool South Parkway Interchange as we have done in previous years.
A souvenir programme & guide to the day will be available for just £5 and any donations you would like to make to the group would be most welcome.
Lee Wolfe, Events Officer for The MTT is leading the event & has been involved with the group for over 10 years. Lee said: this event is now in its 12th year and has gone from strength to strength using a similar format. We have been consistently attracting large numbers which is encouraging for a small charity and always looking at ways to make this event a huge success. All funds raised at the event will go a long way in helping to keep our collection safe for the future. We rely totally on donations & the good nature of people.
Buses run generally every 15 minutes starting around 10:00am from Mann Island and will observe all normal bus stops along the routes.
The event runs from approx.10:00 until approx.4pm. For more information see our website www.mttrust.co.uk , like us on Facebook (Merseyside Transport Trust) or contact email@example.com.
