Potential Panther? Bucky Hodges

... are only so many Jimmy Grahams in the world. When watching Hodges, it is easy to see him eventually becoming that type of weapon. However, unlike the defense, the Hokie offense is not one that regularly develops NFL-ready offensive players. Could that change under new coach Justin Fuente. Update (Week Two Sliders). Against Tennessee, Hodges finished with just three catches for 13 yards, but drew a couple pass-interference calls and added four rushing attempts, gaining 22 yards. Fuente has moved Hodges around a lot, but early this season, he is primarily lining up as a WR, instead of TE. Hodges is rumored to have run a 4.46 second 40-yard dash with a 38.5" vertical, but I don't see that kind of speed on film. The Hokies seem to like to make public their players testing numbers, however history tell us that these numbers are rarely duplicated at the NFL Combine. Still a potential first rounder, I doubt Hodges goes that high. He looks like the same player I saw vs Ohio State back in 2014. The similarly-sized Tyler Kroft (drafted 85 th overall in 2015) would probably be Hodges draft floor. Once in the NFL, Hodges may not develop beyond a Joseph Fauria red-zone ...

Trump Adopts A Fraught Label, And Historians Scratch Heads

... genocidal leader Pol Pot, said Trump delighted in "shaking things up, and this kind of language does just that.". "We try to analyze it from an establishment point of view, but this leads nowhere," he added. "I don't know if Trump has ever read Stalin, but if he wants to destabilize people, he is doing it perfectly.". William Taubman, author of a biography of Khrushchev and emeritus professor of political science at Amherst College, said it was "shocking" that Trump would revive a term that had fallen into disrepute in the Soviet Union after Stalin's death in 1953. "It was so omnipresent, freighted and devastating in its use under Stalin that nobody wanted to touch it," he said. "I have never heard it used in Russia except in reference to history and in jokes.". Khrushcheva said that Trump has "been using a lot of this kind of political-ideological branding" favored by revolutionary leaders, deploying terms like "liberal sympathizer" and "language about gloom and doom in America that ...

Investigations Into Public Service Bullying Only Tip Of The Iceberg, Say Experts

... operations within the same agency. David Hutton is an advocate for whistleblower protection. (Ryerson University). "The first thing that comes to mind is this is really just scratching the surface of the problem," said whistleblower protection advocate David Hutton, who believes these cases not only highlight the issue of workplace bullying and harassment within the public service, but also the ineffectiveness of the integrity commissioner's office in prompting any real action to curb this kind of behaviour. "Harassment is a tool of choice for keeping employees in line, for punishing whistleblowers, so rising levels of harassment are of very serious concern to me," said Hutton. "And I think they can be taken basically as a measure of how toxic the public service work environment has become.". 'It's a much bigger problem'. According to the 2014 public service employee survey , nearly one in five public servants claimed to be victims of harassment on the job. Hutton said that's considerable. "So the ...

Beyond Linux From Scratch discusses adding software packages for many common use cases: GUIs and display managers, servers, multimedia, networking utilities, and so on. Automated Linux From Scratch provides tools for automating the LFS build process, Cross Linux From Scratch deals with cross-compilation (such as building a LFS system for ARM processors on x 86), and Hardened Linux From Scratch provides instructions for setting up an LFS system with heightened security.
