Review: NCISLA "In the Line of Duty" (S6E13)
Posted on January 20, 2015 by Diane in Reviews // 6 Comments
We're back to basics as the team investigates a terrorist attack at the U.S. consulate in Tunisia. Writer Tim Clemente and Director Karen Gaviola are teamed up again for this episode after previously working together on "Blood Brothers" in the first season.
No Answers….Just Conspiracies
You know things are serious when there is no fun banter to kick off an episode. It's all business as the team races up the stairs to be briefed on the attack. The ambassador, Nancy Kelly, and her team are seen under fire and racing from the terrorists. Sam knows her Navy attaché, Tom Harris, who unfortunately does not survive the violence. After a briefing with the FBI, they are told the terrorists are in complete control of the compound and Callen is concerned that all the evidence will be destroyed. (Sam: Hell no.) You know this is not going to happen on Sam's watch! But the FBI is firm that the country will consider any military force illegal action. But Callen has a better plan! Kensi and Deeks insist on traveling with Callen and Sam to Tunisia, but it's not going to be a mission for the entire team this time. The senior partners need to go it alone.
That leaves Densi to interview Harris' boss Captain Beck about his connection to the victims. Beck is sure that the military had no prior knowledge that an attack was imminent or of any activity that would arouse suspicion. The Captain is tired of diplomacy, he wants the team to find out who planned the attack and kill the perpetrators. The man doesn't mince words.
What Does Not Kill Us…..Only Makes Me Want to Kill You!
Once in Tunisia, Callen and Sam survey the area with a little help from Ops. The partners covertly storm the embassy and head directly to the safe room where they find the bodies of the murdered consulate staff. While Callen is recording the evidence, the terrorists discover the team's activity but not before they are able to escape with the invaluable photographic evidence in their possession. As they are being debriefed on the flight back, Callen and Sam find out that several members of the terrorist brigade are traveling to Mexico most likely to find their way into the States to completing their failed mission.
What I Really Need is a Hetty Bobble Head Doll
Kensi and Deeks check out the FBI's 3-D printer working to reproduce the safe room and the evidence that was retrieved from the scene. Good to see Deeks is back to his silly self as he requests if the fancy machine can build him a Stretch Armstrong and Hetty bobble head doll. Nell also informs them that they found a hole in Captain Beck's statement that proves he had visited Harris in Tunisia only a few weeks before the attack. Densi return to his office to demand the truth but he's not talking. What's up with this guy? Back in the gym, Callen and Sam are analyzing the safe room evidence that was recreated by the 3-D printer. Pretty impressive, huh? The boys find a key clue… there is no blood trauma or bullet wounds on the bodies. It actually looks like smoke inhalation killed both victims.
As Densi leave Beck's office, Deeks spies what looks to be the infiltration of the bad guys on American soil. I just loved how Deeks calmly surveyed the street as he talked with Kensi… always the vigilant cop. As the partners take on the terrorists, a few still get away. I know Deeks was out there in the open, but boy was he lucky these guys were such poor shots with all that firing going on! All evidence is pointing back to the evasive Captain Beck who has been recorded having secret meetings with the CIA and Callen knows exactly how he can find the mysterious CIA operative.
This is Just Adorable Partner Banter
Kensi and Deeks are in rare form as they review the evidence at the recreated safe room. Yes, Deeks you both were adorable and Kensi was really enjoying the verbal barrage. It was the first really light scene in the entire episode. But it leads to an important clue and a piece of paper that is lodged in Harris' hand. Dogleg? That's the question Callen and Sam bring to their meeting with Wally the CIA operative who plays dumb until Sam pushes the envelope and forces the information from him. Dogleg is the code name for a top secret black op in Tunisia but that's about all he's giving up. (Callen: I can't exactly hold him here, Huggs!)
The elusive mole reemerges in a conversation between Hetty and Granger, as Granger worries over Mission security before the Ambassador arrives to visit the crime scene reproduction. Eric has also found footage of her arguing with Harris in Tunisia. As Callen and Sam review the video evidence with Kelly, Callen speculates that the mission was a kidnapping event and not an assassination attempt. Kelly points out that she may not have been the target since not all of the images from the terrorist communication were of her. Harris was the common denominator and was probably the real target. Callen confronts Kelly and feels she may know the reason why they were after Harris particularly in regards to Dogleg. Kelly explains she argued with Harris because he wouldn't tell her who was involved with the op. She also identifies Captain Beck as part of the operation and most likely the terrorists' next victim.
That's Not Good
Kensi and Deeks are sent to locate Beck but instead find an empty home that's been ransacked. (Deeks: Wow it looks like your house after you clean it.). Beck was abducted by the terrorists and eventually the team sets off to storm their compound and rescue Beck. I had to laugh that with all that gunpower at their disposal, Deeks was able to take down the terrorist with a simple fireplace iron and save the day. (Deeks: I thought about hitting an eight but I decided to just choke down a seven iron.) My hero!
The final scene in the Mission was sweet despite the team ragging on Deeks. (Sam: What's wrong with you? Callen: He's a bobble head. Kensi: He's more like a chchchchia pet.) Ah, but we love our slightly dysfunctional family, don't we? Just remember folks, who saved the day!
Use your wizardry to make it work, Gandalf! Sam has found another way to tease poor Eric but of course we all know Eric is the Wizard of Ops!
Callen gets back at Sam in the name calling game: Huggy? Perfect!
Don't you ever get sick of drinking that stuff? Granger is lucky he didn't find a kitten with claws!
I loved the Walton reference at the end by Deeks and when he addresses Sam as John Boy, I thought I would lose it! Shut up Deeks!
Densi Moments
Oh, the team, definitely know what's going on between these two:
Deeks: What's up boys? How's the honeymoon going?
Sam: Really, you two want to go there?
Kensi: Oh, no. Not us two. Keep me out of this.
Can I get an ahhhhh?
Deeks: Do you have my back?
Kensi: Always.
Deeks: Wow. Now I know how Mr. Magoo felt!
Kensi: Who?
Deeks: Magoo. Seriously? Oh, ho, ho Magoo. You've done it again.
Kensi: What?
Deeks: Seriously, nothing? It must have been before you time.
Kensi: My time is your time, so how is that possible, Einstein?
Deeks: Because you don't have an appreciate for vintage animation.
Kensi: If by that you mean I don't like old cartoons, no I don't.
Deeks: First off, the word cartoon, is demeaning to the art form and secondly, cartoons are cool.
Kensi: Oh yeah, you think they are cool?
Deeks: Yeah, I think they are rad.
Kensi: How rad do you think they are?
Deeks: I think they are awesome possum.
Kensi: How awesome possum?
FBI: What is this?
Deeks: This? Aw don't worry about this. This is just adorable partner banter. You're going to come to love this!
Not a whole lot of Densi movement going on but we do get an acknowledgement from Sam that the team is quite aware of their relationship. Unfortunately, I wish it was a more interesting episode. There were moments of action and some drama but they never made me really care about the Dogleg mission and why it was so important and why the terrorists would risk coming into the US to kidnap or kill Beck. Although I would have liked to have found out more about the mole who was briefly mentioned and then promptly dropped again to my frustration. But we did get to see why our slightly dysfunctional team is such a great working unit. Nobody does it better and that's why we love them.
We have another break next week but be sure to come back to wikiDeeks for our Team Roundtable Discussion. Our contributors review season six so far and what we hope to see in the future. (No surprise it has to do with wanting more Deeks in the future!) Don't forget Deeks Surf Log and Kensi's Journal later this week too! See you soon!

I agree 100% with your review. Loved the team action and their interactions but the case itself never really picked up any momentum. Felt almost like a filler ep. The little Densi we did see was nice though. Love loved Sam's response to Deeks' honeymoon comment – I've always felt that if/when Densi took that personal leap that the team knowing/finding out wouldn't be some huge, drama-filled, big-brother-talk event. I'm glad to see the writers worked that in to basically let us know that the team knows.
That little scene outside Beck's office with the shoutout was such an understated, but good scene. With Deeks relaying his observations in such a calm but serious manner and then probably one of my favorite small exchanges between Deeks and Kensi with the "you have my back?" "Always" – so many meanings there and her tone and look when she responded gave me butterflies.
I don't think I even care what happens in the next ep because I believe the ep after that is when we see Ray come back and I assume the previously revealed spoiler of Deeks returning to LAPD unfolds. I'm hoping for a Deeks-heavy ep and some great Densi moments out of Kalstein!

Great review Di! The episode was total filler to me but I did like the Mr. Magoo scene a lot.

Great recap! Loved the team banter, especially the Densi banter. Sam's line. "Really, you two want to go there?" was awesome! Great job, Di😄

In this episode I liked the usual Densi banter and the Mr Magoo scene was pure gold.
Kensi keeps on being softer on Deeks (except in Kalstein's episodes…), he touches him more and smiles a lot. But I am honestly wondering: if an NCIS LA viewer had been sleeping for a month and had totally missed Humbug, would he/she understand Deeks and Kensi are "All in"? I don't think so. We do understand it because WE KNOW and we see things in that "All in" wonderful light!
This doesn't bother me much at present but it may in the long run considering we are halfway through Season 6.
What I really really liked (in both the two episodes after "Humbug") is that Deeks and Kensi still work very well together, so they are proving (to themselves and the rest of the team who may or may not know about them) that they can have a personal relationship going on and still be capable and kickass agents/detectives. In fact I'm scared to think that Deeks will be sent back to LAPD basing on some mistakes that he makes. Why? Why? Why? After being so competent half the season?
A last curiosity: did anyone notice that Nell was wearing a small stone ring on her left ring finger? Just Renee's slip or Neric's new stage after the Christmas holidays? It would seem unlikely, anyway, that even if they were together, Nell already wore an engagement ring at work. How much have we missed?

Cladani – I agree that if you didn't see Humbug, you probably wouldn't know that Deeks and Kensi had moved into a personal relationship and while I am really liking the Densi we see right now, I agree that they're going to need to start showing us a little more or else it's going to be a little off and I fear we'd be heading back into that unknown territory of just making assumptions.
And yes, I am quite fearful of the whole storyline with Deeks going back to LAPD. What's going to send him back? I feel like we can guess that it won't be a covert plan like in The Debt because it's already been done. My hope is that it's just some case they need help on (need Max Gentry?) and that it will push him to turn in that NCIS application because he doesn't want to get pulled away from Kensi and the team. I was thinking that while I don't like the idea of it, it does make sense just from a show logistical standpoint that he may go back for a case or something. For a cop who's "just" a liaison, he sure hasn't left NCIS for anything in years (that we've seen or heard about anyway) and I feel like that's probbaly unrealistic (maybe not though).

I just wonder if it's a bit hard on the show to be so critical – it IS a police show – what is the term "procedural"? I wonder if the densi drama those here wish for would really fly in this prime time slot and hold out against stuff like Castle and Blacklist? I was impressed with the lose ends – the guys get ID'd going into a bank that has nothing to do with the original issue, the reason they are after "somebody" is revealed – a twist/turn, the stories really do "make sense". I don't think I've ever had to ask how did they get from point A to B. I know I for one like more "character" stuff, but too much does it become a drama(?) rather than an action show – and that is really not what it is, isn't it? A whole kind of different audience. Their stories are logical, make sense, don't have holes in the "who/how done it" … a bit more long-term-plot-line for the season would be nice. I thought it was a pretty good story with good action, beautiful filming and logical plot lines all held together with some pretty good "personal" stuff to keep us in the family.
I saw the ring on Nell too??? Nay Nay is that a new nickname?


As sparkling wines have gained popularity in the US, the sparkling options available have increased too. Prices can vary widely when it comes to sparkling wine, and it's challenging to know the difference between different types of sparkling wine, and whether those price differences are worth it to you or your customers.
Every thoughtful wine list should have at least two different sparkling options. Even though more people are picking sparkling for everyday drinking, they do still hold a unique status as a special occasion wine. Having one expensive option and one middle of the road option is recommended.
Need a little help deciphering those labels? Here's a quick cheat sheet to help explain the differences between the basic types of sparkling wine you'll find out there.
The most recognized name for sparkling wine, Champagne can only be labeled as such if it was created in the geographic area of Champagne in France. It refers to wine made with a secondary fermentation done in the bottle to create carbonation.The grapes primarily used in Champagne production are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier.
As for flavor, fine champagne often has flavors that many describe as bread dough, due to the aging of the wine on its spent yeast cells. The bubbles tend to be finer and more elegant and the wine tends to have a higher acidity.
Sparkling wine known as Prosecco comes from the Veneto region of Italy. Prosecco is made using Prosecco grapes (also known as Glera) and while Champagne gets its bubbles from a secondary fermentation in the bottle, Prosecco gets its bubbles using the tank method. These means they do the secondary fermentation in a large stainless steel vessel and then put the carbonated wine into bottles.
Due to use of the tank method, the bubbles in Prosecco are a bit frothy and spritzy, and not as long lasting. The grapes used generally have a sweeter profile and lend hints of tropical fruits, flowers and honey.
Cava is sparkling wine that has been made in Spain. Cava is made using three main grapes, primarily Macabeu (sometimes called Viura) and also Xarel-lo and Parellada. Blending these three grapes together produces a wine that has a high acidity, but with more balanced fruit flavors than Prosecco, but not as much of the bread dough and nuttiness of Champagne.
Cava is considered by many to be a great value since it gets its bubbles using the méthode champenoise, or Champagne method, meaning it undergoes its secondary fermentation in the bottle.
Here in the US, wine producers are making sparkling wine all over the country using both methods, producing sparkling wine for every budget and palate. Those labeled méthode champenoise use the Champagne method and often similar grapes as their French counterparts, meaning you can get very high quality sparkling wine, without the Champagne price tag.
Try lots of different types of sparkling wine, and see which pair well with your menu. Sparkling wines are extremely food friendly and perfect for a table ordering very different dishes. When planning out your wine list, have an affordable option for everyday drinking, a cheaper bottle for spritzy cocktails, and always have at least one option for special occasions.

Microsoft Windows 10 build 10074 tightens Cortana integration, adds Aero Glass
By Mark Hachman
Senior Editor, PCWorld |
Microsoft's latest preview of Windows 10 may add a blast from the past: Aero Glass, the beloved transparency feature that originated in Windows 7. In addition, Cortana has been more tightly integrated, and the Continuum exprience has been improved, Microsoft said.
The new build will be available to subscribers in both the "fast" and "slow" rings, meaning there will be ISO files to download for those who want to start fresh. Also, Microsoft has stopped calling them "technical previews" and now refers to them as 'Insider previews."
Like build 10061 that came before it, the new build 10074 of Windows 10 polishes the user interface. Live Tiles will use a 3D animation when flipping, for example.
Here's where Aero Glass might come in: In his blog post, Gabe Aul, who has overseen the rollout of the Windows 10 builds, said there's a 50 percent chance that your Start menu of the new build will include the Aero Glass transparency, giving it the appearance of "frosted glass." (See an example of Aero Glass in the top image.) Microsoft's doing some a/b testing on this, trying to figure out which approach is best for users.
Why this matters: As Microsoft moves forward to Windows 10, more users are beginning to wonder what it's going to look like, as well as what it will actually do. Remember, one of the reasons consumers soured on Windows 8 was because of the Start menu. This is a subtly important build for Microsoft.
Cortana gets an upgrade
Cortana has also received a makeover. According to Microsoft, the visual appearance of the digital assistant has been more closely integrated into the Start menu, replacing the Search function. Cortana also now displays in a split-rail view, breaking out the Notebook or Reminders into a separate window.
Cortana's gotten smarter, too. Check out the new questions that you can ask her—which she'll attempt to autocomplete as you type.
Weather – "Seattle Weather"
Finance – "MSFT stock"
Dictionary – "define astounding"
Calculator – "48*92"
Flight Status – "UA 238"
Reference – "how tall is brad pitt"
Showtimes – "movies near me"
Tech Help – "memory in my computer"
Time Zone – "time in London"
Unit Conversion – "42 ft in meters"
Chit Chat – "tell me a joke"
Microsoft's app recommendations are now live, Aul added. In Microsoft's Build keynote Wednesday morning, company executives showed off how Cortana and the Windows 10 lock screen will suggest apps for you to try out. For example, if you've never picked up the stylus on the Surface Pro 3, Windows will suggest you try out Fresh Paint.
Other improvements include:
Music and Video app updates: you can now rent and download movies, and the new Music app received some visual improvements.
Xbox app update: If you haven't already received the update, the new version adds Game DVR for PC games, screenshots, a Live Tile, user profiles, and real-name sharing.
Windows Store: Although the single unified Windows Store isn't yet available, the app has been improved to show Xbox Live games as working, and in-app purchases, too. Apps you purchased on a PC running Windows 8.1 will now show up in the Store Beta on Windows 10 as owned (and vice versa), Microsoft said.
As always with each preview, there are some things that don't work: The People app remains broken, and you won't be able to run games in full-screen mode. But time marches on, and Windows 10 continues to mature.
Clarification: Microsoft said that there's a 50 percent chance that any download of the new build will receive the Aero Glass transparency feature.

I was a Vodafone customer for mobile and fibre.
We moved house and moved fibre. On day of move house turned out fibre install was not going ahead. On call Vodafone we cancelled and went elsewhere for fibre.
After this i moved mobile provider and got pac code and moved oct 2018.
This year i have been contacted several times by zinc chasing debt for early termination. I was on sim only so no termmination surely?
I contacted vodafone by telephone but because i could not remember security i got nowhere.
Now zinc are threatening default on credit file for £80 odd debt that i dont owe.
Can someone help me sort this as i am about to remortgage and dont need this.
A sim only contract does not end but instead drops onto a 30 day rolling contract so if a person then wishes to move networks they then either give 30 days notice or ask for the Pac and uses that within 30 days of issue by giving it to their new network.
I see from your post this is the route you took via a Pac to take your number to a new network.
When the new network uses the Pac this automatically ends the contract straight away.
Vodafone then produce the last bill which takes approx 2-4 weeks to do.
This is then taken via direct debit and then a Sorry your Leaving Letter and very final £0 bill is sent.
What we see is that a person cancels their Direct Debit too soon which leaves Vodafone very little in the way of options to collect any final monies due.
If they then feel that all avenues of collection and contact has been exhausted as a final resort they sell the debt to a Debt Collection Company so its then them the money is owed to. Vodafone no longer own the debt.
This can come hand in hand with a 6 Year Default being placed on a persons Credit File to which they are not required to pre warn a person they are adding this ,which then can cause future difficulties when applying for credit. If Vodafone feel its warranted due to an unpaid bill then they wouldn't remove it.
Please let the Vodafone Social Media Teams here catch up with your thread and they'll bring you in away from the open forum to pass security checks ( which needs to be done to prove your the account holder )and I'm sure they'll advise you officially and if deemed necessary ask their Credit File Specialist Teams to investigate the default.
Early termination is the key phrase here. If the contract hadn't run for the full minimum period of a year, then you'd be liable for an early termination charge.
How long had you had the sim only contract when you used your PAC code?
@Jeffkin the OP seems to be saying she was out of contract and is using the term "SIM only" to describe the rolling 30-day loop that all contracts revert to at end-of-term.
Is it possible that the early termination fee in question is for the broadband contract and not the mobile contract ??
I confirmed last night with vodafone chat that the debt revolves around the broadband.
I organised a home move for broadband. On day of move no broadband setup. Called 2 days after move to be informed it was rejected by the system. Was then told 2 weeks for it to be setup. The call handler gave me option to go elsewhere which i did. I attempted to keep my end of contract by moving fibre but vodafone let me down. I dont want to pay the early termination as i assumed they cancelled contravt then.
My account shows a negative balance on month i moved then 2 months later i get a bill and then another month payment added.
Moved house no service why should i pay when not my fault. I tried to move and the system shows this.
On chat last night vodafone confirmed this. Then i called broadband dept who after reading the chat transcript have refused to close out bill. Still in debt. Why?
@Grumpymum I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with your credit file, after having previous issues with your broadband. I'll need to access your account, to take a closer look into this for you.
So I can pass your details over to our Credit File Specialists, I've sent you a private message with details on how to get in touch with us.

Duke's Tomlinson wins Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award, aspires to be a doctor
Awards, Courage Award, News • Tags: Courage Award, Duke, FWAA, Laken Tomlinson, Orange Bowl
DALLAS – Duke offensive guard Laken Tomlinson is the winner of the 2014 Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award.
Tomlinson, a 6-3, 330-pound senior from Chicago (Lane Tech), has started 51 consecutive games and has helped the Blue Devils (9-3) score 390 points this season, the third-most in program history. Duke's offensive line leads the country in fewest tackles-for-loss per game allowed with just 3.33 and has surrendered just 13.0 sacks, tied for the 13th fewest in the nation.
Duke offensive guard Laken Tomlinson (center) accepts the Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award from Orange Bowl Committee member Matt Morrall and FWAA member David Hale of ESPN.com.
But Tomlinson just making a college roster and winding up in Durham was a challenge. Duke's current football captain offers a slightly different version of the "The Blind Side," the famous story of Michael Oher, who came from a broken family in Memphis, lived in numerous foster homes, and eventually became a star offensive tackle at Ole Miss and went on to the NFL.
"I am both grateful and humbled to be honored by the Football Writers Association of America and the Orange Bowl with this award," said Tomlinson, who will finish his Duke career against Arizona State in the Hyundai Sun Bowl on Dec. 27. "My mother has been the greatest influence on my life, and none of this recognition would be possible without her sacrifice, love and support.
"It means the world to me to make her proud. If not for her, I could still be in Jamaica, living a life of poverty. Every time I go home or have an opportunity to talk to my mother, she always tells me before she hangs up, 'Laken, I love you and I'm extremely proud of you and everything that you do for our family. Keep doing what you are doing. The Lord has a plan for you, Laken.'"
College Football Awards Show moving to Hall of Fame in Atlanta next year
Awards, News • Tags: Atlanta, Books by FWAA Members, Chick-fil-A Fan Experience, College Football Hall of Fame, ESPN, FWAA, Home Depot College Football Awards Show, National Football Foundation
ATLANTA – Beginning in 2015, each year's college football stars will be honored at the home of the game's greatest legends as The Home Depot College Football Awards will move to the College Football Hall of Fame and Chick-fil-A Fan Experience in downtown Atlanta as part of a new multi-year agreement between ESPN and the Hall of Fame. Airing live on ESPN on December 10, 2015, The Home Depot College Football Awards will feature the presentation of nine of the most prestigious accolades in college football and pay tribute to the remarkable successes of each year's standout student-athletes both on and off the field. The 45-yard-long indoor football field at the new 94,000-square-foot attraction doubles as a fully-functioning event facility and will serve as the show's new home.
"Disney gave us a wonderful home for The Home Depot College Football Awards for more than two decades. Now, the National Football Foundation and the College Football Hall of Fame will provide us the opportunity to enhance both our coverage and the experience for attendees and fans. The show and this new venue are not only a natural fit, but a great way to mark 25 years of ESPN televising the awards," said Burke Magnus, ESPN senior vice president, programming and acquisitions.
"The Home Depot College Football Awards celebrates exceptional student-athletes, and there's no more fitting venue for this prestigious ceremony than at our spectacular new facility, which celebrates college football every day," said John Stephenson, president & CEO of the College Football Hall of Fame. "The Hall of Fame was designed, built and wired for premier broadcast events like this, and we will honor this decision to move the show by providing exceptional hospitality and a celebratory experience to the players, their families, coaches and fans."
TCU's Patterson wins 2014 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award

Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award
DALLAS – Texas Christian University's Gary Patterson has been named the winner of the 2014 FWAA/Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award in the first year of the Allstate Sugar Bowl's presenting sponsorship. Patterson is the eighth coach to claim the writers' award at least twice. Two-time winners are Nick Saban (LSU, Alabama), Lou Holtz (Arkansas, Notre Dame), Darrell Royal (Texas), John McKay (USC) and Johnny Majors (Pittsburgh) as two-time winners of the 58-year-old National Coach of the Year Award. Woody Hayes (Ohio State) and Joe Paterno (Penn State) each won the award three times.
"I'd like to thank the Football Writers Association of America," said Patterson, the winningest football coach in TCU history (131-45). "I'm very honored and humbled to be a part of such a great award and the man it represents."
TCU Coach Gary Patterson
Patterson's 2014 TCU team, after being picked to finish seventh by the media before the season, claimed a share of the Big 12 Conference football title in only its third season in the league. Rebounding from a 4-8 record in the 2013 season, the Horned Frogs (11-1 overall, 8-1 in the Big 12) finished sixth in the final College Football Playoff rankings. TCU will meet No. 9 Ole Miss in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Dec. 31 in Atlanta.
The Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award will be highlighted during a reception at the Renaissance Hotel on Jan. 10, 2015, in Dallas, where Patterson will accept the Eddie Robinson bust at the College Football Playoff National Championship Game media hotel. He will place it alongside the bust he won five seasons ago.
Patterson, in his 14th season as the Horned Frogs' head coach, also claimed the Eddie Robinson Award in 2009 when TCU won a Mountain West Conference championship, played in the Fiesta Bowl and finished with a 12-1 record and No. 6 ranking. Patterson was also a finalist for the award in 2003 and 2010. Previous to Patterson, the last Big 12 coach to win the award was Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy in 2011.

The Outland Trophy
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff accepted the 69th Outland Trophy as the nation's best interior lineman during The Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday night at the Disney Boardwalk.
Scherff, a 6-5, 320-pound senior, became the fourth Hawkeye to win the Outland Trophy after Calvin Jones (1955), Alex Karras (1957) and Robert Gallery (2003). Only players from Nebraska (eight different ones, nine total) and Oklahoma (five) have won more Outland Trophies than Iowa, with Ohio State players also claiming four.
Also in the audience at the Dance Hall were Auburn center Russ Dismukes and Texas defensive tackle Malcom Brown, the other two 2014 Outland finalists. Former Pittsburgh offensive lineman and ESPN college football analyst Mark May, the 1980 Outland Trophy winner, made the on-stage presentation to Scherff, the fourth offensive tackle in the last five years to win the award.
Going into Iowa's Taxslayer Bowl game against Tennessee on Jan. 2, Scherff has started 25 straight games for the Hawkeyes. In all he has played in 43 games and started 35 of them. He has been a strong leader in all four seasons that he has played in Iowa City. Iowa, 7-5, ranks 68th in scoring offense (28.3 ppg) and 66th in total offense (398.3 ypg). At left tackle, he has been rock solid this season for the Hawkeyes who have traditionally produced good offensive linemen.
President's column: High school baseball star Randy White never expected to be a football 'Legend'

(Note: Randy White was honored at the same banquet where Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright III was revealed as college football's best defensive player as deemed by the Football Writers Association of America.)
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Randy White never expected to be honored as a legend in college football.
Of course, the highly decorated defensive star for Maryland and then the Dallas Cowboys never really expected to even play college football in the first place.
He'd been a star pitcher and first baseman for his high school team in Wilmington, Delaware, and had been told at one time that the Philadelphia Phillies wanted to draft him and sign him for a $30,000 bonus.
"I thought, 'I'm rich,'" White recalled Monday before the Charlotte Touchdown Club Banquet where he was recognized as a Bronko Nagurski Legend from the FWAA's 1974 All-America Team. "But my dad told the scout no. He said I was going to Maryland and play college football."

Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright, III winner of the 2014 Bronko Nagurski Trophy.
CHARLOTTE – Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright III claimed the Bronko Nagurski Trophy on Monday night, winning the Football Writers Association of America's annual award for the top defensive player in the country.
Wright, a 6-1, 246-pound sophomore, accepted the award at the event that has been sponsored by the Charlotte Touchdown Club for 20 consecutive years. He becomes the second Arizona player to win the award after the inaugural winner Rob Waldrop in 1993 and the first Pac-12 player to claim it since Terrell Suggs of Arizona State in 2002. Wright is just the second sophomore to win the award, joining Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis, the 2006 winner.
Wright has gone from a player recruited by only a few schools – a two-star recruit on the West Coast – to a tackling machine at Arizona (10-3), ranked 10th in the final College Football Playoff rankings.
"I say thank you all to my teammates and coaches," Wright said. "Football is a team game. I accept this on behalf of the Arizona football program."
Jackson Michael's new book: 'The Game Before the Money'
Book Reports • Tags: Jackson Michael, The Game Before the Money
FWAA member Jackson Michael has a new book, The Game Before the Money: Voices of the Men Who Built the NFL.
The book contains interviews with 40 football legends from the 1930s to the 1970s, including Bart Starr, Don Maynard, Ken Houston and Frank Gifford. They discuss their college and football careers, and much college football history is covered.
Starr gives his on-field vantage point on the famous bench tackle in the 1954 Cotton Bowl. Many players tell outstanding stories of their college coaches: Lee Roy Jordan gives his memories of Bear Bryant, and Heisman winners Johnny Lujack and Johnny Lattner talk about Frank Leahy. Garland Boyette fondly remembers his time with Eddie Robinson.
Jackson will have a book signing with Elvin Bethea and Garland Boyette on Dec. 11 at the Barnes and Noble store at the First Colony Mall in Houston.

In Mr.President! dive, crawl, flip and fling for the safety of the President
Your prime duty is 'not' to follow the protocol, but save Ronald Rump, no matter what happens – in Mr.President!
Imagine you're the bodyguard of the soon to be President of the United Sates. Your prime duty isn't to protect the President, instead just slap him away from where he's standing or barrel roll with him, and both of you're safe. And that's Mr.President!
In this rag-doll indie game, you play as Dick "Rock-Hard" Johnson a bulletproof man. All you need to do is save Ronald Rump, the most hated presidential candidate in the history of the United States. An unworldly threat is always in an attempt to snipe Rump's head and you're to protect him from these lightning speed bullets.
The game is silly and expecting much from the game is awkwardly stupid. However, there's a lot of fun and hard-work put into the game that will entertain you for months. There's unique methods by which you can save Rump. Breaking the wall, crawling like a snake, front-flips, flinging and diving like superman. The game has over 50 missions that will take you to different locations around the globe.
CPU: 1 GHz or faster processor
GPU: 1GB VRAM
CPU: Intel Core i7
GPU: Geforce 970 Equivalent or Better
The game is available on Steam for 299 INR. Not a big deal for such a creative game right? Here's a clip of PewDiePie playing Mr.President! and enjoying it, a lot. He personally says "This is the best game I've played in a long time I must say".

CLEVELAND — Following the success of last year's inaugural offering, The Cleveland Orchestra has announced a second year of Summers@Severance concerts on Friday nights at Severance Hall in July and August 2015. The series of orchestra concerts, sponsored by Thompson Hine LLP, takes place July 10, and August 7 and 21. A special bonus concert, a one-night-only performance by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, takes place on Friday, August 28 at Severance Hall.
The Summers@Severance series was created to expand The Cleveland Orchestra's summertime offerings and showcase the ensemble as an integral part of its home neighborhood all year round. The series presents concerts of popular classical works, with an early start time surrounded by friendly and convenient pre- and post-concert opportunities to socialize with friends or family in the outdoor beauty of University Circle.
Series tickets (all three concerts as a package) for the Summers@Severance series are now on sale through the Severance Hall Ticket Office or online at clevelandorchestra.com. Series subscribers have the first opportunity to purchase tickets for the special Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra presentation. Individual tickets go on sale beginning May 12, 2015.
This year's Summers@Severance begins July 10 when Music Director Franz Welser-Möst leads the Orchestra in a program of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 with soloist Igor Levit. Strauss's tone poem, Symphonia domestica, which represents the lyrical and humorous experiences of the composer's daily family life, and a spiritual work by Messiaen complete the program.
On August 21, principal cellist Mark Kosower performs as soloist in Haydn's Cello Concerto in C major with early music specialist and conductor Nicholas McGegan on a program that features Handel's Suite No 2 from Water Music and also includes Schubert's Symphony No. 5.
Joining this year's Summers@Severance line-up is a special one-night-only presentation at Severance Hall on Friday, August 28, featuring the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis – which is comprised of jazz music's leading soloists – performing contemporary and masterworks of the jazz repertoire. The next evening, on Saturday, August 29, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis join together with The Cleveland Orchestra to make their Blossom Music Festival debut in a program including Marsalis's Symphony No. 3 ("Swing Symphony").
The Summers@Severance programs on Friday evenings this summer in July and August present popular orchestral programming at a friendly time in the acclaimed acoustics of Severance Hall. The series celebrates and adds to the diversity of summer cultural offerings in the University Circle area, while augmenting the Orchestra's ongoing offerings each summer at Blossom Music Center.
The Front Terrace of Severance Hall will be open before and after each concert, with beverage service and seating areas. Special "happy hour" drink prices will be offered in the hour prior to each concert, with attendees encouraged to arrive early and enjoy the outdoors.
Details of the Summers@Severance series follow.

Friday, JULY 10, 2015 at 7 p.m.
Composed under the influence. Beethoven wrote his piano concertos under the influence of Mozart, Messiaen was influenced by his belief in God, and Strauss wrote his Symphonia domestica under the influence of his wife, Pauline. Strauss's tone poem is a partly lyrical, partly humorous portrait of the composer's stormy and steamy domestic life.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Shostakovich's Symphony No 5 is a powerful work – written in a struggle against the Soviet system in which he faced arrest, torture, and even death – a work that at once saved his life and bore testimony to the despair and terror that reigned over the nation.
This performance is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear this masterpiece conducted by one of Shostakovich's greatest living interpreters who knew the composer personally.
Friday, AUGUST 21, 2015 at 7 p.m.
Music fit for a King (and you, too). In 1717, King George was not doing well in the polls, and his political advisors suggested that he do something big – like a summer party on the Thames – to get the people behind him. Handel, the most popular composer in London, was commissioned to write music for a giant public concert. The star of the night was his Water Music, however, and it has been beloved by nobility and common folk alike ever since.
Friday, AUGUST 28, 2015 at 8:00 p.m.
Hailed as "The finest big band in the world today," by the Daily Telegraph (UK), the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is comprised of jazz music's leading soloists, and is under the leadership of nine-time Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Wynton Marsalis – arguably the most famous jazz trumpeter alive.
This extraordinary ensemble draws on an extensive repertoire that includes original compositions by Mr. Marsalis, Ted Nash, and other members of the orchestra, as well as the masterworks of Ellington, Mingus, Coltrane, and other jazz greats.
*The Cleveland Orchestra does not appear on this program.

Texas early voting attracts record-number of young voters to the polls
Over 800,000 people between the ages of 18 and 30 have already voted early, compared to 200,000 at this point in 2016.
Author: Zack Briggs, Adam Pyle
SAN ANTONIO — Texas is experiencing record-breaking early voter turnout among the younger generation compared to the 2016 election.
"Young people generally show up in the last couple of days of early voting or on Election Day, but already we've seen more than 800,000 young voters across the state turn out to vote," said Charlie Bonner of the non-profit called MOVE Texas.
In 2016 during the same time, only 200,000 young people ages 18-30 cast their ballots.
The grassroots organization focuses on mobilizing young people to become politically engaged across the state.
While the presidential race remains at the forefront, Bonner stressed there several other areas where young voters are expressing interest.
"They're showing up in the streets for racial justice, they're showing up to fight climate change, to end campus sexual assault, to fight for immigrant rights. We know where we stand on these issues and now we're at the point where we can take action on those issues locally," Bonner said.
Texas leads the nation in early voter turnout with nearly 7 million votes cast. Among the thousands who voted on Monday was 26-year-old Ryan Escamilla, whose trip to the polls was a first.
"This is actually my first-time voting. I've usually haven't ever found it as important as I do this year to get out and vote," Escamilla said.
Social media continues to serve as a primary source of gathering the news for people, especially the younger generation, which could sway results come Election Day.
State data indicates over 60,000 voters aged 18-30 have cast their ballots in Bexar County as of Monday compared to the same time in 2016 where just 20,000 young people voted.

16,547 runners took part in last year's Okayama Marathon and fun run, and factoring in visitors to the event venue, volunteers and others, a total of roughly 293,000 people participated, an increase of 8000 over 2017. Based on 2065 valid responses to a participants' survey, runners spent a total of 1,040,000,000 yen [~$9.5 million USD] locally on food and accommodations, an increase of 80,000,000 yen [~$750,000 USD]. Visitors from outside Okayama prefecture spent an average of 23,624 yen [~$225 USD], an increase of 2360 yen [~$24 USD] per person.
According to leading race entry site Runnet, over 7000 participants in the 2018 edition ranked the Okayama Marathon the #1 marathon in the country, rating it highly on items such as flatness of the course and quality of refreshment stations. The 2019 edition will have a maximum field size of 15,000, with the number of entries reserved for international runners increased from 100 to 250. The 5.6 km fun run field size has also been increased by 100 to 1400 participants.

Road to Seattle 2017 - Invictus Gaming and iG.V
Road to Seattle: Invictus Gaming and iG Vitality
Main Road to Seattle: Invictus Gaming and iG Vitality
Invictus Gaming was founded in August 2011, with their main sponsor being the 10th richest man in China.
Over the past few years, Invictus Gaming, along with their sister team, iG.Vitality, has become a force to be reckoned with in the competitive Dota 2 scene. Although their glory days have to be back in 2012 when they defeated the legendary Natus Vincere and took home The International 2012 title.
Both team's run in 2015 and 2016 left a lot to be desired, but they've managed to bounce back this year and have a chance to return to their former glory.
We hereby bring you a short introduction of 2 of the best teams in China – Invictus Gaming and iG.Vitality.
Xu 'BurNIng' Zhilei
Ou 'Op' Peng
Lin 'Xxs' Jing
Ye 'BoBoKa' Zhibiao
Fu 'Q' Bin
It is safe to say that Invictus Gaming in several previous LAN events hadn't been at the top of their game. After sweeping OG at the Dota 2 Asia Championship finals, they haven't exactly been in top form. Although they did go on a deep run at The Kiev Major before being knocked out by Virtus.Pro in the semifinals.
Then again, being a Chinese team, they may just be hard at work, practising quietly, preparing tactics and strategy to use for The International.
While each player of the team is certainly capable, two stand-out among them – BurNIng and BoBoKa.
If you've been following Dota 2 scene since recently, you probably cant grasp how good of a carry BurNIng is. At this year's Kiev Major he set the record against mighty OG on his Antimage, doubling GPM of oponnent's carries.
While he finds farm in every possible situation, when it comes to fighting he shines just as bright. Once he joins the fights, his positioning and execution are usually flawless. He is also probably the oldest pro player at the age of 29.
Not that it's relevant, but he's also one of the oldest Esports players at 29.
While we doubted that Monkey King could be useful in the pro-play, BoBoKa not only conviced us it is possible, but also brought a fresh set of nerfs to this hero.
He is currently one of the most talented players in China, and one of the reasons for iG's fresh aproach to the game.
You can see how well he perceives the game in the clip below.
iG Vitality
Zhang 'Paparazi' Chengjun
Xu 'Sakata' Zichen
Yang 'InJuly' Xiaodong
Su 'super' Peng
Gao 'dogf1ghts' Tianpeng
For a team that was founded just two years ago, qualifying for The International 7 is already a great success. Even in 2016, iG.Vitality proved that this team is anything but rejects from the main squad, winning 3 LAN tournaments, including World Cyber Arena 2016 where they took home $350,000.
They haven't been as successful in 2017 but were able to qualify for a lot of LANs. Albeit, with middling success.
The team features one of mechanically strongest players – their mid laner Paparazi, 9K+ player. At DAC 2017 he won the solo mid tournament, beating almost all the best mid players in the world.
Also note that iG.Vitality managed to beat iG in several qualifier series, so we can conclude that this team is hungry for victories and aproval as one of the best teams in China.
TI7 will be a great chance for them to establish the reputation they want for themselves.
Expectations at The International 7
Invictus Gaming is definetely not in the form they were in when they won DAC 2017. They lost lots of games after that event, and also to teams from all regions. The meta shift to more aggressive playstyle leaves less room for BurNIng to free farm untill he is able to win the games by himself.
They still have experience on their side, however, and that should be enough to put them in striking distance of a top 8 finish. However, anything beyond that is highly unlikely.
Meanwhile, for their sister squad, iG.Vitality, they're relative newbies to The International. Although they've proven themselves capable, it's hard to see them reaching anywhere close to top 8, especially because of their middling performances so far throughout the year.
Be sure to follow us here at Esportsranks for the latest on your favourite Esports titles and for our next "Road to Seattle" feature, where we'll talk about the remaining teams who will represent China at TI7.
Aleksandar is one of Esportsranks's first writers. He is an expert on the pro DOTA scene and has been covering the game through various online publications for over two years. He is currently engaged with game recaps and news. He has been playing pro DOTA for a few months and will be (hopefully) representing Esportsranks on the pro DOTA scene.

Lake Geneva is a city in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Located in Walworth County and situated on Geneva Lake, it was home to 8,277 people as of the 2020 census, up from 7,651 at the 2010 census. It is about 40 miles southwest of Milwaukee and 65 miles northwest of Chicago.

Given its relative proximity to the Chicago and Milwaukee metropolitan areas, Lake Geneva has become a popular resort city that thrives on tourism. Since the late 19th century, it has been home to numerous lakefront mansions owned by wealthy Chicagoans as second homes, leading it to be nicknamed the "Newport of the West".

History
Originally called "Maunk-suck" (Big Foot) for the Potawatomi leader who lived on the lake in the first half of the 19th century, the city was later named Geneva after the town of Geneva, New York, on Seneca Lake, to which government surveyor John Brink saw a resemblance. To avoid confusion with the nearby town of Geneva, Wisconsin, it was renamed Lake Geneva. The abutting lake is named Geneva Lake.

After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, a number of wealthy and prominent Chicago industrialists fled to the shores of Geneva Lake—then a popular summer camp destination—by train. Many of the families built palatial summer homes on the lake, which led it to be nicknamed the "Newport of the West". Lake Geneva remains a popular summer tourism destination for boating, water sports, and viewing the mansions, which can be seen from the public Geneva Lake Shore Path. Two historic Lake Geneva mansions are open to the public: the Baker House, built in 1885, a bed-and-breakfast, and Black Point, the lakefront summer estate built for beer baron Conrad Seipp in 1888 in the nearby town of Linn, a Wisconsin Historical Society museum.Other famous residents who built or have owned mansions on Geneva Lake include the Wrigleys, the Schwinns, Otto Young, and Richard Driehaus.

In 1954, Lake Geneva was one of the three finalists for the location of the new United States Air Force Academy, but lost to Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In 1968, Hugh Hefner built his first Playboy resort in Lake Geneva. It closed in 1981 and was converted in 1982 to the Americana Resort, and in 1993 to the Grand Geneva Resort.

Royal Recorders (formerly Shade Tree Studios) was a Lake Geneva music recording studio where artists such as Ministry from Chicago, Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs album '92; Cheap Trick from Rockford, Illinois, Standing on the Edge album '85; Queensrÿche, Empire 1990; Crash Test Dummies "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" in '93; Iron Maiden, Nine Inch Nails from Cleveland Broken (Nine Inch Nails EP) in '92; and Skid Row recorded albums.

Lake Geneva was also home to TSR, Inc., the original publisher of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, until its takeover by Wizards of the Coast in 1997.

Advisers weigh in on SECURE Act, approved by House and on way to Senate and the White House
by: Mark Schoeff Jr.
Financial advisers and other industry officials expressed mixed feelings about the SECURE Act, which the House approved Tuesday as part of a federal spending bill. The measure next heads to the Senate and is expected to be sent to President Trump to be signed into law by the end of the week. Dan Houston, chief executive of the Principal Financial Group, said that the measure "checks all the boxes for improving the odds of American workers' financial stability in retirement." Houston said he is confident the market will respond with retirement-plan annuity options that are safe and affordable. "There will be an emergence of new guaranteed-income products that will be competitively priced for medium to small employers." Some advisers, however, have qualms about the provision that would make it easier to include annuities in retirement plans. "Annuities are complicated, and there are a lot of hidden fees," said Jennifer Weber, vice president of financial planning at Weber Asset Management. "I'm worried that sales people would sell you a product that's not best for your investment needs."

❤Learning to love what they doo❤
Land mines. Dung dunes. Manure mountains.
Whatever you call them, if you've spent any time on The Classic Soldier Ridge Trail, you've likely had to dodge a cow pie or two. And, from time to time, you may have had to sidestep so many beef patties it might have felt like you were doing agility drills at the NFL Combine.
While they may make for an occasional inconvenience, we like to think of them as regular reminders that ranching and recreation need not be mutually exclusive. Which is why this Valentine's season, we thought we'd spread some love for something that's often as looked over as it is stepped over.
Recreation and ranching working hand in glove
Rather than thinking of cow pies as a nuisance, we think of them as regular reminders that recreation and ranching are not mutually exclusive.
The Soldier Ridge Trail System could not have come to fruition without the support of landowners and ranchers who were willing to share their land with the public.
In 2012, ERA Carroll Realty chose a voluntary conservation agreement for 1,154 acres of pasture along Soldier Ridge. Though the business no longer owns the land, the agreement ensures that wide-open views of the Bighorns on the west edge of Sheridan will always be there for everyone to enjoy.
That alone would've provided value to the community many times over, but ERA Carroll Realty and the Don Roberts Family, who operate Sheridan Heights Ranch, chose to give the public permanent access along four miles of existing two track. In exchange, Sheridan Community Land Trust maintains a trail for public use.
In 2013, that access road became what is known today as The Classic Soldier Ridge Trail – a place where people training for the Bighorn Trail Run can get eight miles in at sunrise, a family can take a sunset stroll stroller in tow anytime, and cyclists can grind year-round.
Projects herd across the county
Ranching and recreation work hand in glove elsewhere in Sheridan County, too. Three portage areas along the Tongue River Water Trail were made possible because of partnerships with private landowners and Padlock Ranch agreed to allow access for paddlers along Goose Creek – one of 15 such sites we maintain.
While deer are the most likely animal people will encounter grazing along Red Grade Trails, that won't necessarily be the case in the future. If our proposed trails are approved, folks will have up to 17 new miles of trails to explore and enjoy the forest more easily and more safely. Like anywhere on US Forest Service land, though, you may encounter cattle or sheep grazing – or, quite likely, a few piles of proof a herd had been in the area.
On the "moove" to new trails
By year's end, nearly three new miles of trail will be completed just west of Sheridan. Hidden Hoot Trail will bring users close to the shrubs, willows, and wetlands along Gillispie Draw. An additional two-mile stretch is on the docket for a future build. That span will be called Heights Ranch Trail, a tribute to Sheridan Heights Ranch, whose kindness and cooperation has helped make much of the nearly 10 miles of the Soldier Ridge Trail System possible.
Don't be surprised when you see it's not just people who have been on the "moove" at Hidden Hoot and Heights Ranch. We've got no beef with sidestepping a cow pie or two, because we know that without them we wouldn't have such great places to enjoy so close to home.
That's why we love what they doo; we hope you will, too.
After all, a little bit of "Montucky shoeshine" never hurt anyone.
