For much of Saturday's game against Arizona, USC quarterback Kedon Slovis did not look much like himself. It's an odd thing to say when you look at Slovis' stat line for the day: 30 for 43 passing, 325 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in a 34-30 win.
But Slovis was not throwing with his usual precision, or with tightness on his spirals. In the first quarter, he badly overthrew favorite target Drake London, who was wide open down the field. The ball dropped just out of reach of the diving receiver, and Slovis' frustration was evident with the look of disgust on his face.
In the second quarter, he had the opposite problem, under throwing a ball to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The next play, his third-down pass was well over the head of his intended receiver, forcing a USC punt. And beyond the inaccuracy, for much of the day Slovis' throws didn't seem to travel with the same tightness that he has made USC fans accustomed to.
Slovis has some injury history with his throwing arm, having hurt his right elbow in the Holiday Bowl loss last season to Iowa. But after the win over Arizona, he assured reporters his arm still felt like it was at full strength.
"My arm feels fine. I think at times my mechanics get sloppy," Slovis said. "I don't know what it is but I'll get it fixed next week. We got a lot of time to get it fixed and my arm feels great, so I just need to get it fixed mechanically."
It was the second week in a row that Slovis has looked out of form with his throwing. In Week 1, you could point to the wet conditions leading to issues. Against Arizona, head coach Clay Helton thought the opposite might have been a contributing factor.
"When you were going towards our locker room there was a little bit of wind in your face and to be honest with you, on a really dry day, that ball can get slick on you a little bit," Helton suggested. "I know a couple slipped out of his hands. He found ways to execute down the stretch."

That he certainly did.
Despite the sometimes-rocky start to the game, Slovis finished the game strong, completing his final 12 passes and finishing the fourth quarter 13 of 15 for 143 yards and a go-ahead touchdown pass with 7:49 to play to tight end Erik Krommenhoek, the senior's first career score.
"I've always said winners win, and he's a winner, and he found a way to win and execute when it mattered the most," Helton said. "That's what good quarterbacks do and he's done it two weeks in a row so thank goodness for him."

Hello. We have been using JetExpress for several years now. we recently updated the version to the latest along with moving to a new Citrix server environment (WIndows 2012 OS versions 2008 and Citrix 7.9 versus 6.5). When opening a file in the new environment, the data refresh process that would take 1 to 1.5 minutes in the old environment now takes 6 to 7 minutes. Exact same file. If I open it back in the old environment it takes the 1 to 1.5 minutes again. But every time we open it in the new environment it is much slower to refresh.
Any thoughts? We use JetExpress against MS Nav 2013 with an SQL 2012 database. The file was created in Excel 2010 with the same back end database but in an older version of JetExpress (not very old but maybe a release back). So the database performance would be the same whether the file was opened in the old or new environment. I don't beleive the issue is with Excel 2016 but it could be.
Is the entire Citrix desktop published (rather than just the Excel application)?
Is the Jet data source defined to access the SQL database, directly, or are you using NAV's Web Services? Is this the same for both environments?
Are the Jet Express Performance settings the same between the two environment?

Mark Chernoff is a legendary radio executive in New York sports radio. He has helped guide WFAN in New York City for nearly 30 years. His passion for radio is unsurpassed.
While known for his sports programming, Mark started his career at music stations including the legendary WNEW-FM from 1985-1989.

Wayne Mahar – Chief Meteorologist on NBC3, CBS5, CW6 and CNYCentral, Syracuse
Wayne has been providing weather information to the citizens of Syracuse Central New York for 36 years. He was the first full time meteorologist on central New York television. Wayne's arrival signaled a new era in central New York television weather of using computer models and science to actually make a forecast and taking weather seriously and not merely rip-and-reading off the newswire. His love for meteorology spawned the tradition of broadcasting the weather outdoors on the CNY Central Weather Deck in sunshine, snow storms and everything in between. If that's not daring enough, Wayne has even broadcast from the top of the Syracuse University Carrier Dome.
Wayne has been a professional member of the American Meteorological Society for more than 35 years, and holds the AMS Television and Radio Seals of Approval for excellence in weather broadcasting. He is also a member of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society and National Weather Association. In 1984, the United States Jaycees organization recognized Wayne as one of the Outstanding Young Men in America.
Before coming to Syracuse, Wayne worked six years on TV back in his home area of Portland, Maine, but before his TV career began, Wayne founded Precision Weather Service, a private weather consulting firm that serves hundreds of clients worldwide in several industries including: radio and TV broadcasting, transportation, tourism, and the Hollywood entertainment industry. Wayne is known as Meteorologist to the Stars forecasting the weather for most red carpet Hollywood events, high profile weddings and even the Super Bowl and MLB All Star game. When the Kardashian's or Madonna have party plans that involve the weather, they call Wayne.
Additionally, Wayne lends his meteorological expertise to the Court system, providing expert testimony in weather related cases all across the United States. Wayne's contributions to meteorological education include "Wayne's Weather Workshop" for high school earth science classes and a co-authored course workbook on the science of meteorology, sold worldwide. In 2007, with the help of meteorologists Chris Brandolino and Peter Hall, Wayne developed an educational mock weather disaster that is used in the curriculum requirements for a college degree in emergency preparedness. Weather safety for outdoor events is a huge issue, so Wayne developed a one-of-a-kind table top exercise for outdoor event professionals and has given talks in both the US and Canada on outdoor weather safety. In fact, a few years ago Wayne was invited down to New York City to present a day-long seminar to City officials on ways to better prepare for the next Super Storm SANDY.
Wayne is also an animal lover. In 2008, Wayne founded the Priscilla Mahar Animal Welfare Foundation, a not-for-profit organization with the mission of raising funds to support animal welfare initiatives throughout Central New York. He established the organization in honor of his mother who passed away in 2007 and to date has donated over $300,000 to central NY animal rescues.
Aside from this, Wayne has always felt that if you are on TV or radio, you should become part of the community, use your platform and any notoriety to help causes, as he has done in Syracuse and central New York, getting involved with dozens of local charities from Ronald McDonald House to the American Heart Association, Make-A-Wish, Arc of Onondaga, American Cancer Society and many other great organizations. "That is the best of all" Wayne says, getting to know these great people at so many great charities, showing them support and doing whatever you can to help their causes and the people who depend on these organizations. It's about caring and giving back. That's called making a difference in your community and Wayne hopes in our broadcasting lives we've all done at least a little of that.

We get food from here on a fairly regular basis. I always do take-out... even if I'm eating in the restaurant. The take-out containers are safe. The restaurant plates & cutlery are not safe. Really emphasize when you're ordering you, that you have celiac disease and that you're extremely sensitive. Talk to manager. Food is yummy and reasonably priced.
We have eaten here for at least six years, sometimes once a week, and I have only gotten contaminated once. James is knowledgable, as is Audry ( manager). Very accommodating to GF. Ask for double coated meat if you want it crispier. Love the Pei Wei spicy chicken salad, mild! Six options on the GF menu. If very sensitive, ask for them to burn the wok twice. 20 or so GF options!
Hardly any choices and I personally thought their food tasted awful. Won't ever be back.
they only have two options for gluten free plates :/ and I had a reaction to their food so I'd pretty much stay the hell away if you are celiac or what I am which is gluten intolerant . it was a really bad experience !!!!!!
terrible! they only had 2-3 options!
After my celiac kids got violently ill the last two times we ate here, I complained via the online Pei Wei site. Customer service was outstanding and they sent us 4 free meal gift cards to use and reassured me they have reviewed gf safety guidelines, etc. so we tried it again. I was told that they do not have separate utensils or woks for GF. They put oil in the wok and heat it to a very high temperature and call it good. Folks, please note that gluten is a protein and it doesn't "burn off" like they describe. I do NOT recommend this for anyone with celiac, it is simply not safe.
I got very sick eating here after numerous successful visits. I have not gone back.
I have eaten here once since being GF. I had high hopes but got sick. I'm very reluctant to try it again even though I know mistakes happen. just hate to spend money on a meal just to be sick. I am sure I will try it again one day.
Love the food. Fresh, hot and fabulous! Nice gluten free selection, even gluten free soy sauce. I ordered the gluten free Pei Wei Spicy Chicken with brown rice and it was excellent (especially if you like a little spice).
You can ask for sweet and sour non-breaded chicken over rice noodles.
If you have celiac disease ask for your food to be in take out container, even if you are dining in. This will avoid cross-contamination from the servers.
Wow! Quick service and fresh taste! recommend to all my Gff's!
I gave this a four star due to the tastiness of their food. They're GF menu is very small, like 4 items, but I haven't gotten sick. They're GF options are carefully planned, as they go so far as to cook the veggies in water instead of veggie broth because the broth contains some barley. This is a sister restaurant to PF Chang's, so they have a decent amount of training, although, not as much as PF Chang's does.

John Spurling has won the £25,000 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction for his novel set in imperial China, The Ten Thousand Things (Duckworth), a book which is said to have been rejected 44 times by publishers.
Spurling beat off competition from Martin Amis, Helen Dunmore, Hermione Eyre, Adam Foulds, Damon Galgut and Kamila Shamsie to take the award.
The Ten Thousand Things is set in 14th-century China, during the final years of the Mongol-ruled Yuan Dynasty, and is the story of Wang Meng, one of the era's great masters of painting. It is Spurling's fourth novel, which took him 15 years to write and was rejected 44 times before being published by Duckworth last year.
A spokesperson for Duckworth said the publisher was "thrilled" by Spurling's win, adding: "We have always believed this book to be a masterpiece of story-telling and scholarship, and an insightful study on the nature of art and Chinese history. John Spurling is clearly a master of historical fiction."
The Walter Scott Prize honours Scott's achievements and his influence as a novelist. To qualify, novels must be set at least 60 years ago, be written in English, and have been published in the preceding year. The judging panel for this year's prize comprised Kirsty Wark, Louise Richardson, Jonathan Tweedie, Elizabeth Laird and Elizabeth Buccleuch, in addition to Moffat. The judges' criteria include originality and innovation, quality of writing, a strong narrative, and the ability of a book to shed light on the present as well as the past.
