High school football roundup: It's a hot start for Allen, Highland Park, others
The high temperature for the Dallas area Monday was right at 100 degrees. That's pretty hot, especially for football players starting fall practice.
But it could be worse. Last year, the high temperature on the first day of practice was 104. In 2011, it was 105.
Those temperatures are from the first Monday when all 4A and 5A teams could practice. (3A and smaller, as well as 4A and 5A schools that didn't have spring practice, can start a week earlier).
Most schools elect to begin their first practice of the season in the morning to avoid the heat. But defending Class 5A Division I state champion Allen started at 4 p.m.
"Here in two weeks when school starts, this is what time we always practice," coach Tom Westerberg said. "Our athletic period is our last period of the day, and so when school starts, this is what time we practice."
Westerberg said he didn't want to start in the morning for two weeks and then change it when school started.
Highland Park installed a new surface during the off-season to help beat the heat. Highlander Stadium was outfitted with CoolPlay, a FieldTurf innovation that coach Randy Allen said keeps the field cooler.
"This FieldTurf is about 30 degrees cooler than the turf we had last year," Allen said.
Highland Park worked out from about 9:30 a.m. until noon Monday, and most of that time was spent outdoors. Temperatures were in the mid-90s then.
Allen said the team will start working inside the indoor facility more when practices move to 2:30 p.m. later this fall.
Here are the high temperatures for the first day of fall practice since 2003:
2012: 104
2011: 105
2010: 100
2009: 99
2008: 95
2007: 104
2006: 94
2005: 90
2004: 92 (this was the year that not a single day in August reached 100 ... beautiful!)
2003: 98

Elsewhere around the area:
After winning the 5A Division I state championship last season, the Allen Eagles will have a target on their backs coming into this season.
"We know that people are going to come after us with their best shot," senior wide receiver Cole Carter said.
Coach Tom Westerberg is trying to emphasize that this team shouldn't be worried about defending anything.
"The whole thing is that we're not defending anything," Westerberg said. "that'd that whole team were back last year, then we'd be defending something. This is a whole different team, a whole new group, a whole new season. So what we're trying to do is make a mark with this group."

Graduations leave holes to fill on offensive line
Going into Allen's first day of practice there were a lot of key cogs from last season's championship team that were not there. Allen graduated wide receiver Oliver Pierce, running backs Marcus Ward and Jeff Harris and offensive lineman Brad North to name a few. Head coach Tom Westerberg will be relying on back ups from last year and depth of the program to fill those voids.
"There's a bunch of guys in here that have playing experience, but maybe not at that position or maybe not as the starter," Westerberg said. "But a lot of them have experience so that's what we're driving on."
As one of the returning offensive starters, senior wide receiver Cole Carter believed that new players will step up for Allen.
"With our new guys in the Allen program we just expect them to step up, and they know they have to fill in some big shoes," Carter said.
Arlington Martin
Micah Willis is an asthmatic and has to do breathing treatments. He's also completely deaf in one ear and very hard of hearing in the other.
But Willis has been playing football since he was in seventh grade. As the sophomore running back went through Arlington Martin's practice Monday, he kept his eyes on interpreter Gary Claunch, who relayed the coaches' instructions to Willis using sign language.
"He's got a can-do attitude," Claunch said. "He doesn't let deaf stop him, which is why he does good out here."
Games can be tough, and not just because Willis has to go without his hearing aid.
"There's like 140 plays," Claunch said. "We have to invent signs for those."
The two are in their third year working together. Willis, who is expected to be on one of Martin's sub-varsity teams, has helped his interpreter on the field, too.
"Sometimes I have to protect him from getting tackled," Willis said through Claunch.
Deaf education teacher Jennifer Cobble said Martin has had deaf athletes participate in football, tennis and boys and girls basketball since she arrived in the 1999-2000 school year. Cobble said there will be incoming freshmen who are deaf trying out for soccer and basketball this season.

Myles Garrett weighs college choices
Arlington Martin senior defensive end Myles Garrett is ranked by Rivals.com as the state's fourth-best overall recruit and the nation's second-best prospect at his position in the Class of 2014. Rivals.com reports that he has offers from a plethora of national powers, including Alabama and Notre Dame, the teams that played in last season's BCS championship game.
The 6-4, 229-pound Garrett said there isn't a front-runner in his recruitment, and he wants to visit Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State. He's in no hurry to make a commitment.
"I hope to get it done midseason, maybe before that," he said at Monday's practice.
Garrett is the latest defensive line standout at Martin. Devonte Fields, now at TCU, was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year by The Associated Press as a freshman last season. And Chris Odom signed with Arkansas State last February.
Kyle Hicks' departure retools offense
A year ago, Arlington Martin's offense was led by Kyle Hicks, a TCU signee who was one of the state's top recruits. To get the ball in Hicks' hands as much as possible, Martin coach Bob Wager used his versatile star at both quarterback and running back, and Hicks accounted for 28 touchdowns.
Expect a more traditional offensive approach from Martin this season, with Nick Smith playing running back and someone else at quarterback. Smith was Martin's second-leading rusher last season, running for 451 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 7.9 yards per carry.
"Every year is a little bit different depending on the personnel that you have," Wager said. "We'll be a drastically different football team offensively than we were."
Wager said Sam Brinegar, Eric Walker, Tyler Wilson and Josh Watson are competing for playing time at quarterback. Brinegar got limited playing time on the varsity last season, Wilson has been playing wide receiver, and Watson has been a linebacker.
Cedar Hill
As Cedar Hill players ran sprints toward the end of practice, coach Joey McGuire and some of his assistants were amid the sea of Longhorns running back and forth across the field.
"Running with them is just something to motivate them and keep them going, because it's tough at the end of practice," McGuire said.
The coaches do that regularly, and the players notice.
"It's a family," senior running back Larry Hill said. "If we're going to work out, everybody is going to work out, coaches as well."
Starting the first week of the regular season, McGuire and several assistants gather after practice and run a series of 100s. They run 16 the first week, then decrease it by one each week that the team is playing. If Cedar Hill reaches the state championship game, as it did last season, the coaches have to run only one 100 the final week.
Greg Riddle
Loss of touted senior class does not deter coach Joey McGuire
Cedar Hill lost a lot of offensive talent from last year's state runner-up team, with quarterback Damion Hobbs signing with Oregon, running back/wide receiver Laquvionte Gonzalez signing with Texas A&M and receivers Quincy Adeboyejo (Mississippi), Brandon Harris (Iowa State) and Travis Wilson (Nevada) also signing with FBS schools.
But coach Joey McGuire is excited about the players who will be replacing those stars.
Cedar Hill's preseason questionnaire says junior wide receiver DaMarkus Lodge is "maybe the best we have had." According to Rivals.com, Lodge already has offers from several FBS programs, including Ohio State, UCLA, Auburn, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M.
Running back Larry Hill has recovered from a season-ending knee injury suffered in last year's regional final. He'll look to improve on a junior season in which he ran for 1,060 yards and scored 10 touchdowns.
Quarterback Justin McMillan hasn't thrown a varsity pass yet, but McGuire said "He's got a cannon" of an arm. And No. 2 quarterback Jaidron Hurd was willing to play receiver to help the team. Hurd already has an FBS offer at receiver.
"The list goes on and on of guys that people will know about in a hurry," McGuire said.
Others who could have breakout seasons include running backs PJ Lewis and Aca'cedric Ware, running back/receiver Denvre Daniels and receiver Darius Williams.
Xavier Washington poised for big 2013 season
Cedar Hill's Xavier Washington had 15 sacks and more than 30 tackles for a loss last season. And the best may still be to come for the 6-2, 240-pound senior defensive end.
"I think he's going to have a huge year," coach Joey McGuire said. "He didn't start all 16 games. He started the last 11 and played a bunch early."
According to Rivals.com, Washington has offers from Air Force, Nevada, North Dakota and Yale.
Denton Guyer
For the Guyer Wildcats, the 2012 football season marked a banner year in the program's relatively young history when they used a second-half comeback to win the Class 4A Division I state championship over Georgetown.
Ever since that day, the players have worked slowly to move on from the joyful memory and get ready to play with a huge target on their backs.
On Monday, when Guyer officially began fall workouts, that process of moving on was complete.
"That's one of the things I've been thinking about," said senior defensive end Thomas Ferguson, who led the area last season with 10 sacks. "We need to get our minds right. What's in the past is in the past. That's 2012, this is 2013."
The Wildcats will undoubtedly enter the 2013 season as favorites to repeat as state champions with star Texas pledge Jerrod Heard under center and a nucleus of returning starters coming back. Head coach John Walsh said his players know the task at hand when they step on the field for their first game on Aug. 29 against Class 5A Division II state finalist Cedar Hill.
"We talked in the off-season about winning it again, but it's not based on what we did last year and our kids understand that," he said. "We took that approach from the beginning. Success of 2012 has nothing to do with what's going to happen in 2013, and they understand that."
After a day of practice in helmets only (the first day Guyer can practice in pads is Friday), Walsh said he was already seeing some positive signs, one of which has been something the eighth-year head coach has raved about all off-season.
After giving up 25 points per game last season, including three times of surrendering at least 50 points, Walsh is confident he has an experienced defense that can be called upon to win a game, if needed.
Adam Boedeker
As much as people have been fixated on DeSoto's high-powered offense over the past few years (for good reason), the play of DeSoto's defense has also been impressive. This season, the defense might finally grab the spotlight.
DeSoto has all five of its defensive front returning, including senior North Texas pledges Shaquel Jackson (6-1, 260) and Johnavhan Grahm (6-2, 265) and junior Texas commit Bryce English (5-11, 310). Depth at the interior linebacker positions also return, including second-team all-district performer Derion Woods. And, as always, there's plenty of quality in the secondary, with TCU pledge Nick Orr and Louisiana Tech commit Howard Wilson.
Add another play maker to the mix. Lancaster outside linebacker/strong safety Derrick Leonard has transferred to DeSoto. Leonard was an first-team all-district outside linebacker for Lancaster in 2013, helping the Tigers to the Class 4A Division II championship game.
[As a sidenote, he was the deep snapper on the controversial mis-call in the final, having the ball swiped from his hands by a Cedar Park defender].
DeSoto defensive coordinator Kendrick Brown said he expects Leonard to slide into one of DeSoto's outside linebacker spots.
Corbett Smith
Tough schedule will challenge relatively fresh line
Asked whether DeSoto could match the success it has had over his tenure, coach Claude Mathis said there was one big question mark – and it wasn't how to replace do-everything running back Dontre Wilson (who has developed a remarkably large fan club in the short time he's been on the Ohio State campus).
Mathis is concerned about his offensive line. No starters return from last year's 14-1 Class 5A Division I semifinalists, with only two players with any real varsity experience – senior center Geoff Davis and junior guard Kendall Jennings.
"It hasn't been like this since my first year here," Mathis said.
As of late, DeSoto has produced a slew of FBS signees on a yearly basis. Just look at their last four signing classes:
2013: Sergio Phillips (6-2, 280, San Diego State), Aubry Beal (6-1, 285, Air Force)
2012: Curtis Riser (6-3, 283, Texas)
2011: Marcus Hutchins (6-4, 254, Texas)
2010: Evan Washington (6-5, 290, LSU)
This year's line won't be nearly as big, with DeSoto's heaviest probable starter at 290 pounds. The flip side, Mathis said, is that the group will be very mobile – great for DeSoto's breakneck tempo offense.
The unit won't have much time for seasoning. DeSoto's first three games are against talent-laden teams: Arlington Martin and their elite defensive end Myles Garrett, Oklahoma power Tulsa Union, and Euless Trinity.
"Our first three ball games are really going to test our offensive line," Mathis said. "If we can stand up to the test in those games with the competition we'll face, we'll be OK."
Euless Trinity
After drills were over and wind sprints run, Euless Trinity gathered in their new indoor facility for one last bit of practice, installing the first two moves for their new pregame chant.
Senior defensive lineman Eddie Ngungutau prowled in front of his teammates, showing them the correct stance, and the first lunging movement.
But let's get something straight; what Trinity has been performing for the last four or five seasons hasn't been the haka – a Maori chant made popular by the All Blacks rugby team from New Zealand, where the Maori people are indigenous.
Trinity performs is its own version of the Sipi Tau, a war chant performed by the Tongan national rugby team, the 'Ikale Tahi. According to assistant coach Jason Dibble, the chant calls out to their ancestors, to teams from the past and future for help.
"We had people in the community tell us that, 'yeah, it's OK to do it,'" Dibble said. "But really, since we are all Tongans for the most part – we have a few Samoans – we really need to be doing a Sipi Tau."
The genesis of the pregame dance started in the back of Dibble's economics classroom in 2005. Started by former linebacker Richie Kautai, the original performances were essentially copies of the All Blacks' haka routine. But that has morphed over time, with the performance tweaked every other year or so, adding different moves and different chants.
"The boys kind of do minor tweaks and changes," Dibble said. "We give them a lot of autonomy. They get to kind of create them."
This year's Sipi Tau, according to Dibble, has a call-and-response, with players asking "Are you going to hold the rope? Are you going to pound the rock? Are you ready to play?" Dibble reached out to a fluent Tongan speaker to ensure a valid translation.
Several of the upperclassmen on the team, second- or third-generation Tongans, make sure that the performance doesn't veer into the realm of camp. Dibble credited one of this year's Sipi Tau leader, senior defensive back George Moeakiola, for keeping the tone serious and reverential.
"It's real important to honor the tradition, and not be silly and goofy," Dibble said. "And he's serious about it. He understands it."

Michigan transplant Chris Daniels adds depth to O-Line, D-Line
"Check that guy out," Euless Trinity coach Steve Lineweaver said, nodding over to one of his sizable linemen trotting out to the practice field. "He's 15 years old, and a young 15, at that."
Lineweaver was gawking over 6-4, 270-pound sophomore Chris Daniels, a transfer from Muskegon, Mich. Lineweaver didn't know much about Daniels, other than he was a recent move-in and already – despite being from the Class of 2016 – held a college offer.
Daniels played as a freshman last season for San Antonio Roosevelt, which made the Class 5A Division II playoffs and finished 9-3, losing to Cibolo Steele in the area round. In the spring, Daniels transferred to Mona Shores High School in Muskegon, and drew the eyes of Michigan college recruiters during his short stay there. According to Rivals.com, he picked up an offer from Western Michigan, and participated in the University of Michigan's football camp over the summer.
During one of its regional combines in Chicago, Rivals.com's Josh Helmholdt picked Daniels as one of the underclassmen. Wrote Helmholdt in early May:
It's unclear whether Daniels will see a lot of playing time; after all, he's had all of one walk-through practice with Trinity. But it's clear that he adds to an already impressive stockpile of size for the Trojans on the offensive and defensive lines.
All five offensive linemen were either returning starters or members of a rotation: center Saia Mose (6-2, 288); guards Patrick Vahe (6-3, 253) a Texas pledge, and Mosese Vakasiuola (6-2, 256), and tackles Moses Ngugutau (6-2, 300) and Lem Galea'i (6-5, 299), a Oklahoma State pledge. Tight end Will Taylor (6-3, 265) is also back. Defensively, Trinity graduated both its ends from last year, Sam Tevi and Gaius Vaenuku - the Utah signee who died in a July car accident. But the team returns tackle Hafoka Olie (6-0, 280) and four other upperclassmen who are 6-1 or taller and 260 pounds or heavier.
When Hebron's first practice ended a few minutes before 10 a.m., safety Jamal Adams said the heat wasn't too bad. But the senior, who is one of the state's top recruits, was headed for the ice bath.
The ice-cold water can be startling at first, he said.
"But honestly, right now, I'm just going to jump in."
Adams jumped into -- well, slid into -- the large ice bath with teammates Brian Drew, Clay Holford, Zach Rogers, Carson Proffitt and Daniel Wise. Those are some of the players Adams hopes will help Hebron make a deep playoff run in his final season.
"One game at a time, but we definitely know what our goal is," Adams said. "It's a state championship. And we've got the guys and the coaches to do it."

Highland Park
Brooks Burgin ought to be pretty familiar with the Highland Park offense.
The 6-1, 180-pound junior quarterback will be the team's starter this season, two years after big brother Brady Burgin led Highland Park to a 12-1 record and a trip to the third round of the playoffs.
"You can tell he has a big brother that has played the system," Highland Park coach Randy Allen said. "He'd had four or five years in it."
The biggest difference between Brooks and Brady, Allen said, is the younger brother's ability to run the ball.
"He's got a really quick first two or three steps," Allen said of Brooks. "He looks to run when he doesn't have things open."
Brady Burgin threw for 3,313 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2011.

Touted QB Lindell Stone not at Monday practice
Incoming freshman quarterback Lindell Stone did not practice with Highland Park on Monday.
Stone has been in middle school in Southlake, but he was expected to transfer to Highland Park during the offseason.
The 6-1, 180-pound freshman received national attention after ESPN reported that he'd received a scholarship offer from UCLA in June. Since that report, though, neither the Stones nor UCLA have confirmed the offer
Highland Park coach Randy Allen was mum on the subject.
"I know that our two quarterbacks on the freshman team this morning were Michael Clarke and John Welfelt," Allen said. "That's it."
A pair of Lancaster seniors, quarterback Chris Thomas and defensive end Ashton Bryant, have big shoes to fill this fall.
Thomas takes over for University of Houston recruit Demarcus Ayers, who gained over 3,100 yards and accounted for 38 touchdowns last fall.
"There's a little pressure,'' said the 5-8, 160-pound Thomas following Monday's first workout. "But I played a little bit last year and that helps. The two things I worked on the most this summer was my speed and throwing the ball more accurately.''
Last year's versatile backup, Nick Harvey, transferred to Fort Bend Travis.Thomas saw some action at wide receiver in addition to handling quarterback duties for the scout team.
Bryant switches from strong side to weak side end, a position that Texas A&M recruit Daeshon Hall played while making 29 sacks the last two seasons. Hall was named The News' 2012 Defensive Player of the Year.
"Switching to the weak side is something I look forward to," said Bryant, a 6-1, 215-pounder. "On the strong side, you have to hold your ground more and contain. On the weak side, you can be more aggressive and get up the field."
As a Class 4A Division II state finalist a year ago (losing 17-7 to Cedar Park), Lancaster wants even more to take the final step this time, Thomas said. He showed his dedication by dying his hair orange days before practice started. But so far not many teammates have followed suit.
Family ties for Lancaster coach
In the waning moments of Lancaster's opening day practice, head coach Chris Gilbert gave a thumbs-up sign across the field to the Tigers' unofficial assistant coach, Ivary Cooks.
Cooks is Gilbert's brother, older by four years."He always has plenty of suggestions,'' said a smiling Gilbert, beginning his third year at Lancaster. "After a game, he'll break down all the departments, coaches and players.''
And then in a more serious vein: "He always supports me and that's something coaches need every now and then."
Cooks, owner and operator of a barber shop in Dallas, closes on Mondays and is a regular at Tigers' practice.
"I look forward to football all year long,'' said Cooks. "My brother and his coaching staff have done a tremendous job. They are dedicated to the kids. In my shop, my brother can get whatever he wants.''
Lancaster not short on talent
If a fantasy football league extended to the high school level, then Lancaster wide receiver Nick Alexander would be a player to consider adding. The Arizona State commit is the leading returning receiver (28 catches, 506 yards, seven touchdowns) on a team that figures to throw a lot.
The talent does not stop there. Over the years, the Tigers have sent some excellent defensive backs to the college level. The next in line appears to be safety Vontre McQuinnie, an Oklahoma Sooners commit. Handling duties at running back is junior Shannon Simpson, a stocky, powerful runner. He'll operate behind an offensive line that contains three returning starters.
Randy Jennings
As a freshman last season, Lovejoy quarterback Bowman Sells was spectacular, throwing for 2,632 yards and 25 touchdowns and earning an offer from Clemson.
Going into his sophomore year and first day of practice, Sells is not only looking to improve on his play, but also his leadership.
"I think I need to work on being a vocal leader more," Sells said. "I'm kind of a quiet guy, so I need to work on really speaking up and getting my teammates going."
Head coach Matt Green said it was hard for Sells to be a leader as a freshman, but believes it is something he will get better as this season.
"I think now for him to really improve he's got to be the leader on the field," Green said. "He's got to bring the best out in his teammates. As a freshman it was hard to ask him to do that, he pretty much had to take care of himself."
One of the things that is being emphasized at Lovejoy's first football practice of the season is improving its offense.
Senior running back Daniel Sefcik acknowledged that they are looking to improve a "lack of knowing the playbook with new coaches" from last season. This will be head coach Matt Green's second year with the team and he said that right now they are looking to fully implement the offensive scheme.
"We've been here a year," Green said. "We're doing the same things we did a year ago and our kids have a much better knowledge base. So for us I think the emphasis is to really hit the ground running with the plays both on offense and defense."
Lovejoy will return seven offensive starters from last season.

Plano East
New Plano East coach Randy Jackson said Monday afternoon that he had a few extra butterflies as he prepared for practice. But he seemed as thrilled as any of his players to get started.
"It's exciting," he said. "Four years ago, I was going out to coach a 2A school."
In those four years, Jackson has moved from 2A Lone Oak to 4A Mesquite Poteet and now to 5A Plano East, the largest school in the state. A pretty rapid advancement.
"I was lucky," he said. "But I'll take it."
In 2010, Jackson took over a Mesquite Poteet program that had won one game in two seasons. Over the next three years, Jackson's Poteet teams were 30-9. Now he's at the top of a Plano East team that finished 5-4 last year and missed the playoffs.
One thing he'll emphasize the next few days is the pace of practice.
"We're going to move really, really fast," he said. "Every coach does things differently. They've just got to get used to me."

Plano West
Plano West took the field at 7 a.m. Monday with the highest expectations in school history. The Wolves, who advanced to a Class 5A Division II regional final last year, are hoping to make an even deeper run this season and win its first district title since 2004.
"We're looking really good," said running back Auston Anderson, a senior who rushed for 1,156 yards and 13 touchdowns last season and is orally committed to Northwestern. "Everybody looks like they've been working out. Nobody looks sluggish or tired. We looked focused."
Anderson and fellow running back Sotonye Jamabo (1,697 yards, 24 TDs last season) give Plano West a terrific combo in the backfield, but Plano West's biggest emphasis in fall practice will be defense. Only two starters return from a defense that allowed 35 points per game.
"We were real good on offense last year, but the focus right now is to get our defensive players in the right position and get them playing hard," coach Mike Hughes said. "To win a state championship, we've got to play better defense."

Southlake Carroll
Southlake Carroll switched its first practice to 7:30 a.m. to Dragon Stadium with a heavy thunderstorm soaking the high school's grass practice fields through the night. Even with the last-minute notice, Carroll got buses and carpools to shuttle players to its new location and start on time.
David McNabb
Setting a Dragon Stadium attendance record?
With Allen and Southlake Carroll opening the season at Dragon Stadium, Carroll ISD athletic director Kevin Ozee already is making arrangements to handle the expected capacity crowd.
Dragon Stadium, over the last few years, has increased capacity to approximately 12,500. Last year's opener at Allen's new stadium between the two drew approximately 20,000. The Dragon attendance stadium record is 13,300 set in a Euless Trinity vs. Coppell 2010 Class 5A regional final.
Big news in Lincoln
Southlake Carroll kicker Drew Brown was on the cover of the Omaha World Herald sports section this summer when he committed to Nebraska. A color picture of Brown kicking for Carroll was on the front page.
Brown's older brother Kris Brown was a Nebraska kicker following a standout career at Carroll. Although only 3 years old when Kris was at Nebraska, Drew has grown up around Cornhuskers traditions.
"Crazy, like a dream come true," Drew told the World Herald.
Filling in nicely
The priority for Southlake Carroll is improving its offensive line, led by 6-3, 285-pound center Evan Brown. Carroll has several players injured during the spring, and how fast the group comes together will be a priority for 7:30 p.m. Aug. 23 scrimmage vs. Duncanville at Dragon Stadium.
Even though he'll be a first-year starter, junior Ryan Agnew is considered a strong replacement for departed three-year starter Kenny Hill at quarterback. Carroll also has a deep set of receivers that includes Parker Fentriss, Luke Timian, Keaton Duhon (son of Carroll principal Shawn Duhon), Ryan Weigel and Ryan McGiboney.
"It's as good any anyone group of receivers we've had when I was here," Carroll coach Hal Wasson said.

£20bn NHS savings spark care fears
Quality of care for patients could suffer as the NHS struggles to make £20 billion in efficiency savings, health experts have warned.
Two-fifths of NHS finance directors expect patient care to worsen over the coming years, according to a survey.
Almost two-thirds think that the NHS as a whole will struggle to achieve the £20 billion "productivity challenge" by 2015, according to The King's Fund research.
Financial directors are confident they will end this year in surplus or break even, but monetary pressures will start to bite next year, the research suggests, as the two year public sector pay freeze comes to an end in April.
The report stated that an average staff pay increase of 1% would add around £400 to £500 million to NHS expenditure.
Professor John Appleby, chief economist at The King's Fund said: "The NHS continues to perform well in the second year of the productivity challenge. But there are signs that future years will be harder.
"The end of the public sector pay freeze next April may add to financial pressures and increase the strain on services.
"The difficulty for local providers will be finding ways to absorb these costs without compromising the quality of care for patients."
The survey of 45 NHS finance directors, who work across the sector, also indicated that there is growing pressure on emergency care.
The number of patients who are waiting for more than four hours in accident and emergency is at its highest level in the three month period from April to July since 2004/05, the researchers found.

There are more then a few of the posters in this very thread who routinely catch 30+ fish in a half day on the Clinch, including myself. How do I know this? I have fished with, near, and around them for over 20 years. Granted that makes me sound old but at 36 I am far from old despite the pains I feel each morning, and the trouble I had tying a fly on this morning for some unknown freaking reason.
Screen-name "Oldschool" in his prime would embarrass everyone on this forum, period. When I was a younger pup and was even more arrogant, I can remember heading to the river with him, and thinking I got this cat. Little did I know I was about to be subjected to a thorough scorching at the hands of a man who caries days worth of gear in one shirt pocket. I bet age has taken a toll on him, and he has trouble even walking to the river now
Flat Fly N' has long been one of the "ninja's" of the Clinch. I will atest to his use of flies which most have never seen, and certainly never considered using, and he uses them with deadly results. His specialty for years was above the weir at low water, which can easily humble even the best tailwater folks.
Same things can be said for psnapp, fourx, and chem, they have all been around and know how to negotiate the river. No offense to other older Clinch folks who I left out.
Calling me BS on me or any of the other long time Clinch fisherman, is quite simply.....foolish.
Personally I grew up riding my bike from my house in Norris to the river almost every afternoon when the weather was decent. I skipped school most spring afternoons to fish, rather then pursue what could have been a pretty decent baseball career. I know every square inch of ledge, cut, riffle, trough, depression, etc etc in the river, from the dam to 61 bridge. I know almost to the minute when the water will hit any given area on the river, and am extremely aware of what water flows/levels offer the most ideal fishing conditions. In other words, I generally know when a fish is going to eat my fly before they even know they are about to eat it. I would say the same for many of the others who frequent this forum.
Add to that a healthy dose of travel to locales all across this country as well as foreign destinations, and I have a pretty good resume when it comes to catching fish on a fly/.
So yes, the above is probably sounding arrogant and is, but at the same time calling BS on something/someone you know nothing about is incredibly arrogant or misinformed (pick your poison) and I would caution you from this thought process. Most likely one of us you are calling BS on might be the person you bump into who passes on a shred of our knowledge which might help you be more successful.
I am sure 20-25 fish sounds like BS to you, but I was being a little humble for once. Generally it is probably more like 35-40 or more depending on the day. But it isn't about the numbers, I just used the numbers to try and illustrate a point.
My final point in this nightmarishly arrogant response, is that if myself or some of the others mention tough fishing. You might want to listen, and pay attention, as those words don't happen often, and you might learn something if you chose to heed the words of those with decades of experience.

You need a word that's not so heavy as "persistent", which is also already in use with a different meaning, as you say.
So, here are some words for you:
My favorite is "sticky", which has a very informal feel about it.

Ailing Avila's status for Game 6 up in the air
By Jason Beck and Bobby Nightengale / MLB.com
BOSTON -- Tigers manager Jim Leyland returned to town Friday afternoon still not sure whether he will have catcher Alex Avila available to play Saturday in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series vs. the Red Sox (8 p.m. ET on FOX). He also wasn't sure who might catch if Avila can't go.
He has not ruled out Victor Martinez.
"That has been thought about, yes," Leyland said on a Friday conference call with reporters.
It's a possibility the Tigers have kept open all along for the postseason -- but for the World Series, not the ALCS. If the Tigers advance, they'll lose the designated hitter for Games 3-5 in the NL city, either St. Louis or Los Angeles. Martinez, 7-for-18 in this series and 16-for-38 in the postseason, would have to find a position in the field in those games. He caught three times down the stretch in the regular season without any problems to be prepared.
This is different. Martinez, whose days as even a semi-regular catcher ended with knee surgery last year, could bat in the designated-hitter spot in Boston. However, Avila's absence could leave Leyland deciding whether it's best to catch Brayan Pena and leave everyone else alone, or catch Martinez, move Miguel Cabrera to DH and play one of his utility infielders at third.
Leyland isn't ready to take the discussion that far.
"It would be an option, let me put it that way, that you could DH Miggy and catch Victor and then, obviously, play [Ramon] Santiago or Donnie Kelly at third," Leyland said. "I don't think that's going to happen, but it would be an option if Alex were not able to play."
As for Avila, Leyland said the catcher was still dealing with some soreness in his left knee when the Tigers boarded their team plane for Boston on Friday. They won't make an evaluation until Saturday.
"I don't know what's going to happen," Leyland said. "I have no idea. I'm hoping Alex Avila can catch. That decision will be way down the road yet."
Leyland said Friday that the left knee, where Avila strained a left patellar tendon, is the only concern. The second-inning plate collision with David Ross eventually knocked Avila out of the game, but the foul tip he took -- also from Ross -- off his catching mask a couple of innings later might have shaken him up more.
It was reminiscent of the foul tip that gave Avila a concussion in August at Cleveland. The one major difference is that while the August foul hit him on the side of his head, jarring his lightweight mask, Thursday's foul ball hit him square in the front of the mask, right on the chin.
"That was a good one," Avila said. "I guess I can say that's one win for the heavier mask, because I feel fine."
Leyland said he didn't realize how hard that foul tip was until he talked on the phone with his good friend, former Major League manager and catcher Don Zimmer, who watched it on television.
"It was a good one, there's no question about it," Leyland said. "He got smoked pretty good, and because of the previous issues that he'd had, I was also a little concerned about that. But the trainers checked him out. There did not appear to be any issues, but it does ring your bell a little bit, obviously. The main reason he was taken out of the game, obviously, was because of his knee, [which was] very, very sore, throbbing constantly. The foul ball actually had nothing to do with it."
Leyland: Cabrera's injury a factor in play at plate
BOSTON -- Should Miguel Cabrera have stopped, or was he right to keep going?
Tigers manager Jim Leyland was still answering that question a day after the mix-up between Cabrera and third-base coach Tom Brookens led to an easy third out at home plate and a first-inning rally ended without a run.
Leyland's point Friday was what many surmised Thursday night: A healthy Cabrera probably would have stopped when Brookens changed signs. Cabrera's groin injury removed the possibility.
It's not just about how fast Cabrera can run at this point, but also how quickly he can stop.
"I don't really blame Brookens," Leyland said. "If Miguel Cabrera were 100 percent, Tom Brookens stopped him in plenty of time. But where I think he possibly made the mistake was, he probably knew right off the bat when the ball was hit, because of Miggy's condition, he could not score. So I was saying maybe he shouldn't have been waving as long as he was.
"If he was normal, then he stopped him in plenty of time, there's no question about that. I heard some people commenting on that on the television. But under the circumstances, he probably shouldn't have waved as long."
Brookens agreed with that argument after the Tigers' 4-3 loss in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series -- that a healthy Cabrera likely would've been able to stop.
Instead, Leyland said, "We pretty much know right now with Miggy's condition that it's one base at a time."
Iglesias to start Game 6 after spectacular catch
BOSTON -- Jose Iglesias has been a Tiger for just under half a season. He now has two play-of-the-year-worthy defensive highlights to his credit.
When Iglesias ran from the right-field side of second base to chase down David Ortiz's popup in shallow left with a lunging grab on Thursday, it raised the question of whether he topped the changing, barehanded grab and tumbling throw he made in one motion against the White Sox on Aug. 12.
So the question was raised to Iglesias.
"Wow. Oh, man," he said, pausing to think. "Both. This one was tough because I was so far away and the wind's blowing that way and I kind of turned and threw my glove.
"I'd tell you both. Both are really hard."
Manager Jim Leyland has not yet set his starting lineup for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday (8 p.m. ET on FOX), but he confirmed Friday that Iglesias will start at shortstop behind high-strikeout ace Max Scherzer. Iglesias did not start behind Scherzer in Game 2.
Tigers set mark for singles without extra-base hit
BOSTON -- Not since Ty Cobb's first full year in the big leagues had the Tigers had so many singles and no extra bases in a postseason game.
While Thursday's Game 5 of the American League Championship Series showed the Tigers hitting again, they hit nothing but singles -- 10 of them, setting a new team postseason record for singles in a game without an extra-base hit.
The previous Tigers mark was nine, in Game 1 of the 1907 World Series. That contest ended after 12 innings in a 3-3 tie. Davy Jones and Sam Crawford had three each, Boss Schmidt had two and Germany Schaefer had one. Cobb, then a fresh-faced 20-year-old center fielder, went 0-for-5.
The Tigers still fell well shy of the Major League record for hits in a postseason game without an extra-base hit. The 1917 White Sox churned out 14 singles in Game 2 of the World Series, a mark matched by the Orioles in Game 2 of the 1971 Fall Classic.
Horton honored in absentia at former high school
DETROIT -- It was Willie Horton Day throughout the state of Michigan on Friday, honoring the Detroit native and former Tigers great for his contributions on the field and in the community. Unfortunately, Horton wasn't able to partake in any of the festivities on his 71st birthday.
Horton was sick and missed his 10th annual celebration at his former high school, Detroit Collegiate Preparatory High School at Northwestern. His birthday was declared Willie Horton Day in the state in 2004 on a bill signed by then-governor Jennifer Granholm. Members of the Willie Horton Foundation were at the high school on Friday afternoon to present a college scholarship to a selected student.
"Willie and I grew up in the projects," said Walter Terrell, one of Horton's high school teammates. "We've been knowing each other since 1955. He went on to the pros, and God gave him some exceptional abilities. But one thing he's always had was respect for Northwestern."
As a senior in high school, Horton helped lift his high school baseball team to a city title. Afterward, he signed with the Tigers, which led to an 18-year Major League career that included 14 seasons with his hometown team. In addition to helping Detroit to its 1968 World Series championship, Horton was a four-time All-Star and finished with 1,993 hits, 325 home runs and 1,163 RBIs.
Horton, who is now a special assistant in the Tigers' front office, had his No. 23 retired by the team in 2000. He also has a statue in the center-field stands.
"Detroit was a great place in 1968," said Gary Pollard, who serves on the Board of Governors at nearby Wayne State University. "Motown was putting out hit after hit, but the biggest superstar in town was Willie Horton. ... Willie Horton made you proud to be from Detroit."

I heard some discussion on the airwaves about marathons finishing in stadiums as a way to control spectator access. I've run a mara, a 5K and a 10K that all ended in stadiums. It's a decent idea and a fun way to finish, but there are many venues where stadiums are not available. And in terms of density we should also focus on ways to protect the start of a race.

I am really not sure how you could possibly do to make it that much more safe over 26.2 without completely eliminating spectators, and uhh, running it on military bases or other places that outsiders. I'm guessing that trying would lead to additional costs and frustration without much applicable benefit.
I already don't like the fences blocking the post race area from non runners you have to go out of your way to get around on the rare race I'm actually able to bring family.
I'm hoping the small ones that I gravitate towards don't have much happening with this.

Occasionally I'll watch the girls' triple jump.

rather be sprinting
I'm not sure it's races specifically we should be worrying about. It wasn't really an attack on runners--it was an attack on a public gathering. So while it made sense to step up airport security after a series of airplane-based terrorist attacks, it doesn't make sense to step up security at a local 5k because terrorists chose to target the Boston Marathon.
What I do think is wise are better public safety measures across the board, and I'm certain organizations like NYRR will take measures anyway. But so should parade organizers and police and so forth.

He's back...
My surprise-o-meter isn't ever registering.
What! I thought he was dead forever and ever! This is so shocking and unexpected! I can't imagine anyone saw this coming at all! Oh my God, Marvel is so awesome and original! They blew my mind!
Wait... didn't we already know this after the release of Ironman?
'Bout F'n time.
But they'll retcon this but not Gwen The Whore or Scotty The Adulterer. Typical fucking Quesada Marvel.
^Scotty the Adulterer is about the first interesting thing ever to happen to the character.
I think a few people forget how Jean was behaving when it started, too.
Bucky makes a deal with Mephisto to bring back Cap!!!
Not surprised at all. The death & resurrection schtick is sooooo old at this point.
I'll not even buy the issue(s). I will get the TPB at half off from a comic vendor but I can't muster a lot of excitement about this 'big' news.
It's about time. I liked the story, but it has stretched out way too long. Bucky America is just not compelling. Bucky, the Winter Soldier, is cool though and I would not mind seeing him in more in that role.
Shit...I guess I have to remove my "Cap: R.I.P." tattoo.
I haven't read this storyline yet (I just bought three of the trades at a sale yesterday though!) but I thought the Bucky Cap story was immensely popular. You'd think they would keep Rogers dead or at least wait to time his ressurection with the movie in another year. Do we know how exactly he's coming back?
I was reading The Death of Captain America, Vol. 2: The Burden of Dreams and saw
Spoiler: Captain America in the above trade
that as Sharon Carter is trying to escape from Red Skull/Doc Faustus, she seems to see a body that looked like Steve Rogers. Have they answered the question as to who made her pregnant? Is it Steve's baby? Somehow, it doesn't quite flow with the Steve as a 50s sorta guy.
I'm just a little disappointed that they didn't bring him back right away if they were going to bring him back at all. I mean sure the "OMG they killed CAP!" wouldn't have been as shocking, but given how Tony was acting and how the whole MU was at that point, Cap's death was needed really. And to be honest... not to make yet another Batman quote, Bucky isn't the Cap we needed, but the Cap the MU deserved. It needed a Cap more willing to do the "dirty deeds" while trying to uphold truth, justice and the American Way.
While yes, I miss Steve Rogers, I am not entirely turned off by the Bucky-Cap either. I think its still pretty fuckin' cool how they merged Buck with Black Widow, boy that woman has had more husbands and lovers than Liz Taylor! But at least it gives Cap a worthy female counterpart, one that isn't upstaged when you see her fighting along side Cap.
I do hope that maybe Steve doesn't retake the mantle right away when he comes back, heck, I'd love to see him force Osborn out and take HAMMER away and replace it with a new SHIELD. I always did wonder why Cap never evolved into say "General" America or something by this point - or even Colonel America. I always assumed that Captain was his military rank.
Oh, but those were edgey and dramatic and therefore good stories!!!!
Or not really that good at all.........
Well, at least they'll bring back Classic Cap..... I'm tired of the "new" Captain America... You know, the one who uses a gun, totally defeating the entire purpose of a Superhero in the first place?
Well at least Superman, Hal Jordan, Oliver Queen and Barry Allen had the decency to stay dead!
Is Brubaker handling the "Reborn" series?
The New Adventures of the First Avenger: Captain America: The New Missions
Far as I know Brubaker is still on Cap yes, and not surprised about this announcement either. I've enjoyed Bucky as Captain America but liked him better as Winter Soldier. Steve coming back in time for his own movie isn't a shock. Probably won't pick up the issue since I too collect trades.
I know Brubaker is on Cap, but the "Reborn" is a separate, 5-issue series.
I'm mostly a DC guy, but Brubakers run on Captain America has been nothing short of stellar - it's one of my top 3 overall books, period, and I've definitely enjoyed the Bucky-as-Cap arcs as well.
WOW! what a surprise. I saw this coming even before they killed him! Another reason why I left the BIG two.

The Headmasters are charmed to appear once they die, or retire I suppose, unless they quit ignobly like Snape, but I can't think of anything else we know canonically about portraits.
What do we know about portrait... tech? How do they talk? Do they always talk?
Are they painted after the person has died? Are they painted before the person has died but charmed afterwards? Is there no physical painting required but something else (hair, blood) that goes on to the canvas and later creates the image of the person?

SANTA ANA – An independent committee supporting Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido has raised nearly $150,000 to support his bid for reelection.
Meanwhile, a separate independent committee has raised nearly $100,000 in a bid to unseat Pulido and win passage of a measure that would establish term limits on the mayor's office. Pulido faces five challengers, including City Councilman David Benavides, who is the best financed among them.
As of Oct. 20, a committee called "Taxpayers for Experienced Leadership for Santa Ana, A Committee Supporting Miguel Pulido for Mayor 2012," had raised $119,250. With late contributions since then from major donors, it had raised $148,250 by Thursday.
Major donors include several wealthy Orange County residents and entrepreneurs, including Susan Samueli, Henry T. Nicholas III and auto dealer Donnie Crevier.
According to campaign finance documents, Taxpayers for Experienced Leadership received $25,000 from Samueli, $20,000 from Lyon Apartment Companies, and two contributions from Broadcom co-founder Nicholas that totaled $45,000.
Samueli is a leader of an effort to develop The Academy Charter High School, a project that Pulido has worked on, while Nicholas was recently honored by Pulido and the City Council for his work as founder of the Nicholas Academic Centers in Santa Ana.
Pulido said he was aware the committee had been set up, but pointed out that it's independent.
Pulido's campaign committee reported raising another $11,997 as of Oct. 31, campaign filings as of Thursday show.
Pulido, who held a fundraiser Oct. 4, raised $25,436 during the Oct. 1-20 filing period for the latest round of campaign disclosure statements. Overall, he had raised $45,385 this year, and reported a cash balance of $27,263. With the influx of new money, his total money raised is at least $57,382.
The Stand Up for Santa Ana Coalition reported receiving $97,700 for the Oct. 1-20 period. That included $47,000 from Cowboy of Los Angeles, and $45,000 from the 301 Project LLC of Los Angeles. By Thursday, it had received another $23,000 from major donors, bringing its total to at least $120,700.
Stand Up for Santa Ana received $10,000 from Lyon Apartment Companies and $2,500 from the Santa Ana Police Management Assoc. PAC.
It reported having funded mailers opposing Pulido, supporting council candidates Eric M. Alderete in Ward 3 and Roman A. Reyna in Ward 5, as well as backing Measure GG, which would impose term limits on the mayor's office.
Ryan Ogulnik CEO of Vineyards Development Corp., said that 301 Project is one of his companies. Vineyards is developing The Met at South Coast, a 271-unit apartment complex in the MacArthur Place area. He said Councilwoman Michele Martinez, who is backing Benavides and the mayoral term limits measure, told him about the coalition.
"I saw a lot of good people on the City Council wanting to change the city," he said. "I was looking to invest in the city of Santa Ana. They deserve better leadership. They want more, new business, new projects and decreased unemployment. The only way to do this is to be pro-business and pro-development. That's what the coalition is looking at."
Martinez is one of four council members to place the mayoral term limit Measure GG on the ballot.
"I am supporting Measure GG and helped with the fund raising efforts for GG," she said, noting as an elected official she can have no control over the committee.
California Taxpayers Advocate, described by the Sacramento Bee as "an independent expenditure committee with a history of supporting Republican candidates," reported spending $10,226 Oct. 31 on mailers for Benavides.
California Laborers for Equality and Progress, based in El Monte, reported a late contribution of $1,000 to the campaign of incumbent Vincent F. Sarmiento, who is seeking reelection to his Ward 1 seat.
The Orange County Professional Firefighters Local 3631-PAC reported that it paid spent $1,000 on a slate mailer benefitting Ward 3 candidate Brett Elliott Franklin.
Among endorsements announced this week, Pulido received the backing of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, while Benavides picked up the support of California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who like Feinstein is a Democrat.

Why do I suspect that this is not to provide better service for the consumer, but rather to tighten up more on the tech? I hear that GE charges its contract techs $500 bucks a year for the info necessary to fix their machines. What next, another $500 for the smart phone codes?I was just looking at a samsung fridge. The defrost heater is built int to the evaporator - it is not available separately. The evap unit is only $65, but the HVAC tech who has to install it will be $450...I guess this stuff will continue until the consumers storm the castle with torches and pitchforks
First contact from outer space maybe to a Smart Appliance.I hope its G.E.

Duda gets start at first base in series finale
By Anthony DiComo and Adam Rosenbloom / MLB.com
When he was optioned in late July, Duda was batting just .241 (307 at-bats) with 44 RBIs and 94 strikeouts. In 301 total at-bats last season, Duda finished with a .292 average and 50 RBIs.
But as sluggish as his bat was, it was the struggles in right field that ultimately landed him in the Minors. Mets manager Terry Collins repeatedly stressed patiently waiting for his offense to come around, but his performance on the field made it difficult.
Since Duda rejoined the team last month, he has played mostly left field -- his most comfortable outfield position. But with the focus on getting him as many late-season at-bats as possible, starting him at first base -- as Collins did on Wednesday against the Nationals -- will become a more regular occurrence.
"The one thing we've got to do is start seeing Lucas Duda on a daily basis," Collins said. "I think it's important this time of year to take a look at some guys that certainly have a chance to be in the middle of your lineup in the future, so we've got to see what we can get out of them."
Wednesday marked Duda's first appearance at first base this season, though he played two games there during his midseason stint with Triple-A Buffalo. He started 37 games at the position last season as a result of Ike Davis' injured ankle.
Duda also posted his most impressive offensive numbers as a first baseman last season, batting .316 (42-for-133) with 20 RBIs.
Murphy out of starting lineup with sore back
NEW YORK -- Daniel Murphy was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup with a sore lower back, which the second baseman downplayed prior to the game.
Slated to play second base and bat second in the Mets' original lineup, Murphy was scratched several hours before first pitch. He did, however, participate in a series of fielding drills and said he fully expects to return on Friday. Ronny Cedeno took Murphy's place in the lineup, batting second.
"I don't plan on this keeping me out any longer than a day," said Murphy, who is batting .292 with five home runs in 136 games. "We'll get it to quiet down."
Murphy said he woke up with the discomfort on Wednesday morning. When he alerted manager Terry Collins of the issue, Collins suggested he sit out Wednesday's finale against the Nationals. The Mets have an off-day Thursday, giving Murphy two full days of rest before opening a series in Milwaukee this weekend.
"It's just a little soreness," Murphy said. "I probably could play, but we erred on the side of safety with this one."
The Mets had to dig a little deeper Wednesday, as Cedeno left after the fifth with a tight right hamstring. Jordany Valdespin replaced Cedeno at second.
Mets, Sand Gnats sign on for two more years
NEW YORK -- The Mets have renewed their player development contract with Class A Savannah for two more years, the teams announced Wednesday. The renewal will keep Savannah as a Mets affiliate through the 2014 season.
Notable Sand Gnats alumni include pitchers Collin McHugh and Josh Edgin, both of whom made their big league debuts this season. As a Mets affiliate, the Gnats won South Atlantic League first-half championships in 2010 and 2011.
"We're pleased to have the New York Mets back with us to continue our partnership and the development of future Major Leaguers here in Savannah," Sand Gnats president John Katz said in a statement. "The Mets have been fabulous partners over the past six years, both in providing strong teams and in helping make a positive impact in the Savannah community.

Mexican Spy Plane Crashes in Texas
A remote-controlled drone owned and operated by the government of Mexico crashed "in someone's backyard" near El Paso last week. What was it doing there?
According to Talking Points Memo, a "mini orbiter UAV" drone crashed into someone's backyard in El Paso's Lower Valley around 6:30 p.m. "We were told it was not a police matter," El Paso detective Mike Baranyay told the El Paso Times, most likely in the tone of voice where you totally know some kind of wicked intimidating government agent in sunglasses was all, "Excuse me, detective—we'll take it from here."
Apparently, border patrol turned the drone over to the Mexican government "at one of the bridges which span the U.S.-Mexico border" (again, classic scene in the movie about this incident that I am currently watching, inside my head). "We may or may not do a report on this," says a National Transportation Safety Board spokesperson.
Okay, well, breaking news: Our government is sketchy as hell. But I still want to know what the drone was doing! Was it spying on... El Paso? Of all places? (I mean, we use our drones to kill people who we heard from some guy are maybe terrorists, and whichever people are near the people who we think might probably be terrorists. So maybe it was doing, uh, that?) Either way, one thing's for certain: We are now at war with Mexico.

Over the past decade, McConaughey has sometimes wasted his talent in dim rom-coms ("How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," "Failure to Launch," "Fool's Gold") or just coasted on his formidable abs (in films such as "Sahara" and the deplorable vanity project "Surfer, Dude"). But in recent years, he has taken on better material ("The Lincoln Lawyer," "Bernie," "Killer Joe"), and last year, he lit up the screen, first as the manic strip club owner in "Magic Mike" and then, in a major left turn, as the troubled reporter with a taste for rough trade in the incomparably sleazy "The Paperboy."
Now, extending his streak, there's this.
"Mud" is the third film by writer-director Jeff Nichols ("Shotgun Stories," "Take Shelter"), and it's set in Nichols' home state of Arkansas, in the delta bayous along the Mississippi River. The director's intimate familiarity with the people here — their rough houseboats tethered along the shore, their daily foraging for fish and oysters to sell in the inland towns — enables him to present us with a unique world that's fully realized and rich in detail.
The story is a species of Southern Gothic with an undercurrent of Mark Twain. (Nichols cites "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" as a model.) We watch it unfold through the eyes of a 14-year-old boy, named Ellis (Tye Sheridan of "The Tree of Life").
Ellis and his friend Neckbone (able newcomer Jacob Lofland of Plainview in Yell County) have discovered an abandoned boat — a small cabin cruiser — on an island out in the middle of the river. It's wedged into the upper limbs of a tree (this is a land of storms and floods), and they want to claim it for a secret fortress. But the boat turns out to be already occupied, by a scruffy stranger called Mud (McConaughey). Mud assures the boys he won't be around long; he's waiting for a woman named Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), his longtime love, and when she arrives, they'll cruise off down the river to the Gulf of Mexico in search of a new life.
Mud eventually admits he's a fugitive from the law. Not long ago, Juniper, a woman of wandering affections, became involved with another man, and after he beat her up, Mud tracked the creep to Texas and shot him dead. Now the police are closing in, and the dead man's father (Joe Don Baker) is on his way with a group of hired thugs, intent on dispensing lethal justice.
The movie is about the varieties of love and the hazards by which they are so often beset.
Ellis' parents (Sarah Paulson and Ray McKinnon, in perfectly weighted performances), still love each other, but their marriage is cracking apart anyway. Ellis himself pines for an older girl at his school named May Pearl (Bonnie Sturdivant), and her seeming unavailability is breaking his heart.
The movie has an old-fashioned, unhurried pace; and though the story is steadily suspenseful — and there's even some violent action — Nichols never shortchanges his characters by rushing past their sorrows. The actors are quietly excellent.
Witherspoon successfully stretches herself as a woman accustomed to braving indignities. (She shops at the local Piggly Wiggly in cutoffs and heels, topped with an alarming black eye.)

Physicians Interactive CEO, Donato Tramuto, to Receive H.I.T. Men & Women Award at HIMSS 2013
Healthcare IT News to honor Tramuto for his innovative work at Physicians Interactive and Health eVillages
Marlborough, MA – (February 28, 2012) – Physicians Interactive (PI), the leading provider of online, point of care and mobile resources and solutions for clinicians, announced today that CEO and Vice Chairman Donato Tramuto will receive the H.I.T. Men & Women award at the 2013 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual event for his innovative leadership in helping Physicians Interactive and Health eVillages advance the use of healthcare technology in ways that better connect life science companies and healthcare professionals, while also saving lives and empowering clinicians to raise the quality of care in challenged global regions.
Tramuto will receive the Innovators Category award during a ceremony at the J.W. Marriott in New Orleans on March 4.
"The H.I.T. Men & Women award winners, determined by Healthcare IT News readers, are game changers in the field of healthcare information technology," said Danielle Hartley, publisher of Healthcare IT News. "We are pleased to honor Donato Tramuto of Physicians Interactive for his innovative and influential work over the past 30 years in the healthcare industry, and especially for his work with the Health eVillages global mobile health program. He has had a tremendous impact not only on our industry here in the U.S., but on delivering quality patient care to some of the most remote regions in the world."
As the CEO and Vice Chairman of Physicians Interactive, Tramuto has led the company's transformation into a leading healthcare provider resource for medical information, medication sampling, patient benefits and mobile decision support. Under Tramuto's stewardship, Physicians Interactive has established itself as a market leader in helping life sciences companies create greater value and relevance with healthcare professionals in their workflow. This has helped PI build a network of more than two million healthcare users, including more than 900,000 physicians, nurses and allied health professionals in the United States. The innovation continues in 2013 with the launch of OMNIO®, a new iPad medical app, which is redefining the way healthcare providers leverage mobile clinical decision support, and with PI's Toolkit™, a pioneering platform that helps life sciences companies interact with electronic health records (EHR) providers to help practitioners improve patient adherence and access to medication cost savings.
"I sincerely want to thank Healthcare IT News for the honor and congratulate all the nominees and winners on their achievements. We are tremendously proud of the innovations that have occurred in digital and mobile resource solutions during my time at Physicians Interactive," said Tramuto. "Our team is constantly seeking to bridge the information gap between life sciences companies and clinicians in ways that raise the quality of care for patients, wherever they are being treated. Through these wonderful web, mobile, and electronic health record based-resources, clinicians today are more thoroughly informed than ever, and they are better able to treat patients quickly and effectively at the point of care."
In 2011, Tramuto and Physicians Interactive created Health eVillages to provide state-of-the-art mobile health technology, including medical reference and clinical decision support resources, to medical professionals in the most challenging clinical environments around the world. Since then, Health eVillages has had a tremendous impact helping clinicians deliver safe and efficient care to patients in underserved areas in Africa, China, Haiti and rural Louisiana. In 2013, the program is being expanded to Central and South America through a partnership with Project HOPE, which conducts humanitarian assistance programs in more than 35 countries. Health eVillages provides handheld devices, such as smartphones, iPod Touches and iPads, preloaded with specialized medical reference content and clinical decision support tools powered by Skyscape to clinicians in those underserved areas.
Tramuto is also the Chairman and founder of the Tramuto Foundation, a non-profit organization that he created in 2001 to help disadvantaged youth reach their educational goals. He also serves on several executive leadership boards: the Duke University Fuqua Health Sector Advisory Board, the Boston University School of Public Health Dean's Advisory Board, the Regis College Board of Trustees, the Physicians Interactive Board of Directors, and the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights Europe Board.

Can anyone identify this please - it moved so fast that I had to slow the video right down to see it - you probably can't tell but it was reallly very big (unforturnately I don't have David Attenborough's camera crew!) and I didn't want to get too close! Surrey UK
Well done for having a go with the video.
It is a bit of a challenge to see, but I am fairly sure it is a European hornet, Vespa crabro.
(I'm looking at its brown front, black middle, yellow back-end; and correct size.)
Thanks Mike. I think you must be right. It's buzz was extremely loud- it dwarfed all the bumblebees that were flying around and from the video had a very yellow face- I found this I the web link you posted:
Vespa crabro vexator Harris, 1776. A European hornet found in southern counties of England, and continental Europe. This subspecies can be distinguished from the Common European hornet as V. crabro vexator has a yellow head
The thing that struck me as I looked at it by eye was its red/ orange colour which it shows in the photos on the link. I have only seen one flying in and out so I'm assuming this could be the queen? I'm assuming there's only one as it flies out then comes back again with no others having flown in or out in the meantime!
Should I get this moved- worried about the kids getting stung- not to mention myself!
Well done for looking into it further.
For reference:
If you go to the 'Images' tab on this page, you'll see the queen and worker side by side - it is easy to tell the difference - http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/species-of-the-day/collections/our-collections/vespa-crabro/
In my experience, hornets are similar to wasps in terms of aggressiveness - and they won't sting you just for the sake of it, only if provoked. I'd go along with the opinion expressed here - http://www.insectstings.co.uk/hornets/ and here - http://www.vespa-crabro.de/hornet_vespa_crabro_vexator.htm
So in your case, personally, if you're not going to be interfering with their nest or the insects themselves when they are near the nest or busy hunting, I'd leave them alone. But your situation may warrant removal - if you have young kids, if you or family have known allergy to wasp stings, or if you are disposed to hate big buzzing things, or if you know your neighbours will complain. ...In which case, get rid of the nest while there is still just the one hornet.
Here's some advice - http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Hornets
But in your case, assuming there's no other way tothe nest itself, you may be able simply to block the access crack shown in your video.
Thanks - it was definitely the Queen!

I'm particularly happy with the attribute munging methods. People repeatedly parse HTML to alter the attributes. Now you can do that on the fly.
Glad you like it. People kept trying to change attributes, I kept posting examples of how to do it and I even had one in the POD. It was time to move it into the module itself. I think it's probably the single most useful feature I've put in there.
