King James Bible
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Tinker:
Life goes on with or without us as I
see my grandchildren advance into what we are trying to help them
become. Independent grown up people who are able to take care of
themselves.
There is a harsh reality when I notist the churldren walking
past the crosstracks that you and me crossedover long ago. Almost like
passing through a invisible portal into adulthood with each
further step that keeps taking them ever closer to not noticing you are
me again, as they becoming absorbed into their own interest.
Life goes on within the laughter that they share with
the friends they make themselves. If we did our job well the
young hardly notice the moments that they begin growing into a descent
person saving themselves and the other people who love them in a natural
process. Life does go on with or without us, our reward is somewhere
back there in the work that we did well. All we can do is our best,
after that it is up to them in their time and place.
There is no short cuts because there is no other way to
succeed within our natural nature than to trust in our reasoning power
hoping for the best.
Some people are luckier then
others because of the way we are raised that seems to be everything. How
can we explain away what we have no control of and who our parent are.
But again after the age of reason we can pick and
choose who our friends are, living out our life as best we can, going on
from there whatever our background.
I have become very tired of hearing people say that they can't control their feeling when I personally know that they can.

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) warned President Barack Obama is “getting perilously close” to the standard for impeachment.
According to Tulsa World, Coburn referred to the president as “a personal friend of mine" before criticizing Obama's "lawless" administration while speaking during a Wednesday town hall meeting at Oklahoma's Muskogee Convention Center.
BuzzFeed reports Coburn said impeachment is "not something you take lightly, and you have to use a historical precedent of what that means," noting that he feels there is a great deal of "incompetence" in the Obama administration.
"I think there’s some intended violation of the law in this administration, but I also think there’s a ton of incompetence, of people who are making decisions," Coburn said.
"Those are serious things, but we’re in a serious time," Coburn continued. "I don’t have the legal background to know if that rises to high crimes and misdemeanor, but I think they’re getting perilously close.”
Coburn's not the first Republican to toy with the idea of impeaching Obama. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.) recently said "it would be a dream come true" to impeach Obama, and Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) "you could probably get the votes in the House of Representatives" to impeach the president.
But not all Republicans are willing to discuss the possibility. Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele lashed out against Farenthold's comments, calling them "beyond the pale" and said they "have no basis in fact and no grounding in reality."

Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald Challenge Independent Story
The Huffington Post |
By Jack Mirkinson
Posted: 08/23/2013
NSA leaker Edward Snowden accused
the British government on Friday of leaking sensitive material to a
newspaper he'd never worked with, the Independent, and attributing the
material to him.
The paper published an exclusive story about a secret British spy base in the Middle East on the front of its Friday edition. The story's presence there came as a surprise to media-watchers. Snowden has only been known to have given his material to a handful of journalists and outlets. The Independent isn't one of them.
The paper said that information about the base was "contained in the leaked documents" from Snowden, but that the Guardian had "agreed to the Government's request not to publish any material contained in the Snowden documents that could damage national security" and "agreed to restrict the newspaper's reporting of the documents."
This led some observers to wonder whether the Guardian had passed material to the Independent because it was being censored by the government.
But the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, who has covered many of the Snowden-based scoops for the paper, wrote on Friday morning that he was "not aware of, nor subject to, any agreement that imposes any limitations of any kind on the reporting that I am doing on these documents."
He also published a statement from Snowden saying that he had "never spoken with, worked with, or provided any journalistic materials to the Independent."
Snowden said he thought the British were "seeking to create an appearance that the Guardian and Washington Post's disclosures are harmful, and they are doing so by intentionally leaking harmful information to The Independent and attributing it to others."
In response, Oliver Wright, an editor at the Independent, fired back on Twitter:

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
Those
of you who have followed this website for several years know that my
late father, Don, had a favorite expression that he'd use often - “Speed
kills on the highway and on the playing field.” With that in mind,
I've decided to make speed the focus of today's daily dose. Why, you
ask? Well, two reasons: First, our jersey countdown has reached the
eight day mark, and one of the fastest men to ever wear an LSU football
uniform wore No. 8. Secondly, I haven’t yet written much about the
incredible speed that this year's Tiger team possesses.
In addition to size and overall athleticism, speed is one thing that makes college football very different than prep ball, and it's also something that makes the SEC such a dominating conference. LSU almost always has a very fast team, but last year the Tigers seemed to be a bit slower in the return game without someone like Trindon Holiday, or even Tyrann Mathieu who has great football speed.
This year LSU will once again have a kick returner with barnburner speed in Jeryl Brazil (DB, 5'10" 189), who might just be the fastest Tiger football player yet. As a high school junior in 2012, Brazil broke the Louisiana state record in 55 meters with a 6.25 seconds time, the same record that once belonged to Trindon Holliday, and in February of this year he claimed the Louisiana state indoor title with the nation’s fastest time of 6.27 at the Maddox Field House on LSU’s campus. Shortly thereafter, he followed up his state indoor title by winning the 2013 New Balance indoor national title in the 60-meter dash in New York. Not only does Brazil have world-class speed, at nearly 190 pounds he has decent size to work some as a running back, and I'm hoping we see him utilized that way on occasion this season.
LSU will also have more speed at the wide receiver position this year thanks to a healthy Travin Dural and JUCO transfer Quantavious Leslie. Dural is the guy I'm most excited about, not only because of his blazing speed, but because of his outstanding jumping ability as well. Mark my words, Dural will make Zach Mettenberger better, not only because of his outstanding speed which will allow him to stretch the field, but also because of his good height (6'3") and amazing jumping ability which could make him extremely effective in redzone fade routes.
The Tigers will also have the service of speedy newcomer TréDavious White as a cornerback and return specialist. White has been clocked at 4.3 in the forty and has elusive shiftiness that makes him very dangerous on punt returns. And let's not forget about backup redshirt freshman cornerback Kavahra Holmes (a teammate of Dural at Breaux Bridge High) who is also among the fastest players on the team, and true freshman Rashard Robinson who has yet to be cleared by the NCAA (as far as I know). Robinson has exceptional speed, but unfortunately the NCAA clearinghouse doesn’t. I haven’t heard anything lately on where Robinson stands with the approval process.
The bottom line is that this LSU team will be fast. Really fast.
Now for our jersey countdown, with only eight days remaining until the season-opener, let’s take a look back at... you guessed it, Trindon Holiday. Holiday was born in Zachary, Louisiana and attended Northeast High School, but he didn't start playing football until his junior year because his mother wouldn’t let him due to his size. (He later played as a Tiger at 5-6, 155-pounds, so I imagine he was probably about a buck twenty as a junior in high school.) As a prep track star, Holiday posted the nation’s fastest indoor times in the 55 and 60-meter dash in 2005 and was clocked at 4.27 seconds in the 40-yard dash. On the football field at Northeast High, he gained 2,210 yards rushing (11.4 per carry) on 193 carries and 34 touchdowns as a senior, and averaged 27.6 yards per punt return. Holiday would have probably never ended up at LSU if his high school teammate, wide receiver Aaron Brown, had not decided that he didn't want to go to LSU's summer camp alone. Because of this, Northeast High Coach David Masterson decided to take Holiday along with Brown, and once the LSU staff saw him post a time of 4.28 in the forty offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher was sold. At LSU, Holiday excelled in track and field and in football. In track and field, he was an eight-time All-American and broke several national records. As a football player, he was a three-time SEC Special Teams Player of the Week recipient, and man was he fun to watch. After his days as a Tiger, he was drafted by the Houston Texans in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft, but in October of 2012 he was waived from the Texans as Houston tried to bolster their injury-depleted defense. Denver immediately picked him up and he remains with the Broncos today. Back in January, Holiday returned a first-quarter punt 90 yards for a touchdown in a postseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, and then returned a kickoff for a 104-yard touchdown in the third quarter, making him the first player in NFL history with a punt return touchdown and a kick return touchdown in the same postseason game. I've added to our Media Gallery two Holiday videos that I found on YouTube - a light-hearted one that features him and his Tiger teammate Herman Johnson, and another that shows a few of his highlights from LSU, Houston and Denver. Enjoy!
In baseball news, LSU has added a pitcher to the roster for the 2014 season in JUCO transfer Henri Faucheux. A native of LaPlace, Louisiana, Faucheux transferred to LSU from Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The 6-0, 185-pound junior left-hander was a two-time High School All-American at Riverside Academy in Reserve, La. According to Coach Mainieri, Faucheux has a fastball in the mid-to-high 80s and a “big, sharp, overhand curveball that will eat up left-handed hitters with regularity.” The team will begin conditioning drills and individual workouts on September 3 and will start their six-week, full-squad fall practice session on September 29. The 2014 season gets underway on February 14 against the University of New Orleans in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
In closing, I'd like to point out that I've updated our Ticket Exchange page at about 5 p.m. yesterday and will do so again later today.
Reader comments: Scott, Warren Virgets, an end who was LSU's leading receiver in both 1950 and 1951, passed away Wednesday. Virgets, from Baton Rouge Catholic, led the Tigers in 1950 (25 catches, 455 yards, 3 tds) and 1951 (17/263/1). In 1950, Virgets' total was 51 % of the team's passing yards and 40 % of the team's receptions. LSU had seven touchdown passes in 1950.

TCU’s brand of football is as tough as the school’s mascot, the fierce desert-dwelling horned frog. Legendary TCU Coach Dutch Meyer revolutionized football during a run to the 1935 national championship - employing the “Meyer Spread,” a formation that allowed his star quarterback Sammy Baugh to revolutionize the forward pass. The success of the 1935 team, built on a fearless and innovative attitude, defines both the mascot and the team today.
Like the horned frog, the TCU football team uses speed, quickness and innovative defense tactics to out play the competition. The frog’s scaly body armor serves as inspiration for TCU’s new football uniform aesthetic, forming a distinctive pattern on the jersey numbers, sleeves, gloves and helmet.
TCU’s all-black uniform features purple highlights and bold white numbers that reflect the new spike design pattern. The uniform also features red accents that harken back to the horned frog’s defense mechanism - a shot of blood from the eyes that repels encroaching foes. This visual reminder of the “bloodlines” and brotherhood of the team creates a head to toe aesthetic from cleat to helmet.
The color scheme is mirrored in the Nike Pro Combat Hypercool baselayer, socks, Nike Vapor Jet 2.0 Gloves, and Nike Alpha Pro TD red chrome-plated cleats. The helmet pulls all of these elements together in TCU’s traditional purple with a satin metallic metal finish.
Further graphic details on the uniform include the TCU logo on the back of the helmet (rather than on the side, as is tradition), and the words “Fear the Frog” embroidered on the back neckline of the jersey. The complete uniform honors the resilience of the horned frog and its influence on a small program, defined by an aggressive, fast offense, with an ability to upset powerhouse opponents.
This fully integrated uniform system incorporates the latest in Nike’s performance innovation, where the athlete’s baselayer works in concert with the entire uniform – true innovation from the inside out. Lightweight padding is integrated directly into the crucial “hit zones” in the baselayer. Innovations include integrated Flywire technology in the neckline for reduced weight and lockdown fit over pads. Additionally, increased sleeve articulation provides better range of motion, and four-way stretch fabrication delivers a streamlined, shrink-wrap fit.
TCU will wear this special edition uniform against rival LSU for the season opener on Aug. 31.
