'Cathedrals of Culture' Proves To Be "Limited" & "Internalised"

The highly anticipated 3D film series Cathedrals of Culture has now opened around the world. Directed by Wim Wenders and a team of five other acclaimed directors (Robert Redford, Michael Glawogger, Michael Madsen, Margreth Olin and Karim Aïnouz), the collection - according to The Guardian's Oliver Wainwright - "feels more like a series of vapid promotional videos." Arguing that in most of the films (with the exception of Michael Madsen's) the narrative is lost in favour of cinematic shots, "Cathedrals of Culture presents a limited and internalised view of what architecture is, a fault perhaps driven by the obsession with the 3D camera. [...] It has a self-satisfied, sometimes cultish, air that makes you feel like you're taking part in some collective brainwashing exercise." Wainwright concludes that Living Architectures is the best place to go. See some of their films featured in ArchDaily's 40 Architecture Docs to Watch in 2014.
The series features films by (and about):
Wim Wenders (Germany) – Berlin Philharmonic (Berlin, Germany)
Michael Glawogger (Austria) – National Library of Russia (St. Petersburg, Russia)
Michael Madsen (Denmark) – Halden Prison (Halden, Norway)
Robert Redford (USA) – The Salk Institute (La Jolla, California, USA)
Margreth Olin (Norway) – Opera House (Oslo, Norway)

Stefan Molyneux presents a framework for ethics in his book Universally Preferable Behaviour (UPB) - A Rational Proof of Secular Ethics, in which commonly accepted moral rules are deduced from first principles. This paper is an attempt at outlining a mathematical formalism for a subset of the philosophical reasoning, namely ethics between actions of two people. This isn't a straightforward translation from the book to the language of mathematics, but an independent sequence of thought being the result of trying to understand the logic of UPB and the derived ethics. Applying the somewhat handwavy mathematical machinery to the common moral test cases seems to agree with the results acquired by Stefan.
Corrections and rebuttals are welcome.
This might be the most important topic in the world.

This is from the anthology "X", published by Sofawolf and edited by Kyell Gold.
I was and still am completely thrilled that Kyell invited me to participate in this anthology. For those who don't know, X has ten stories by ten writers and each one is an interpretation of one of the Ten Commandments. I figured people would expect me to pick Coveting, Adultery or something that lends itself to my usual type of storytelling, but I decided I wanted a challenge so I picked Thou Shalt Not Kill instead.
I've gotten some good feedback from those who have bought the book. I hope you enjoy it.

The problem is, this assumption about Christianity is based on a fallacy of freedom.
Throughout Scripture—particularly in the writings of Paul—we read a lot about the freedom that is provided through Christ.
In fact, the entire fifth chapter leading up to this verse is about freedom.
The reality is this: when we live our lives as God has designed us to live our lives, we don't lose freedom. We actually become freer than we have ever been before.
Think about it: You really like to drink? You go out every night and party? Or you have a casual drink before bed every single night? You think you're just exercising your freedom until one day you realize, "I don't remember the last day I didn't have a drink." And we call that freedom?
And yes, you do have the freedom to do it… for a while… until you realize that what the world has defined as "freedom" has gradually become something that is keeping you captive. We tell ourselves this lie that we aren't harming anyone, not realizing the real harm these things are doing to our true freedom in Christ.
That's why Paul says, "Don't use your freedom to indulge in sinful nature." Because when we do, we are actually losing what we call freedom without even knowing it.
However, when we do decide to commit our lives to Jesus Christ, and to live by God's set of rules, we don't lose freedom, we gain it! When we decide to live by God's rules, we open ourselves to the possibilities of living the fullest life possible—the life that God has designed for us to live from the beginning.
When you say, "Ok, God, I'm going to start living my life like you want me to, and not like I want me to…" then you actually might start seeing more money in your bank account—NOT because God directly blesses you with finances for being good—but because you cut yourself loose from your addiction to buying everything, or you cut yourself loose from drinking so much, or you cut yourself loose from the pressure to always look better than your neighbor!
Living life as God intends actually gives you more freedom to be YOU.
I guarantee you will feel freer than you have ever felt before.
One reason I chose to become a lawyer so long ago is so I would know the rules which governed my life. Knowing what those rules were gave me freedom since I understood the boundaries within which I needed to live. Had I not known those rules, I would have used my own feelings and logic to determine how to live, never confident that I was acting or reacting as I should, subjecting myself to consequences harmful to me.
This also was a piece of my thinking in choosing to know and follow the God I did not yet know. I believed there was a God who created me and therefore felt it important to know and understand the rules He had created to govern my life.
As I daily learn more and more about those rules, it gives me even a greater sense of freedom. I'm trusting that He created me for a purpose and that I can now exercise the freedom to live as He intends within a framework designed to liberate me from selfish desires and to grant me even greater freedom to live in a loving, purposeful, evolving, fulfilling relationship with my Creator, my Lord, my Saviour.

Spain Update
18th June, 2015
Spanish flag
by Kevin Bruton, 9th June 2015
In Spain, on 24th May, there was, of course, a double election. In Spain's Regional Parliamentary System of 17 Regions, all with their own directly elected parliaments, 13 Regions held elections on 24th May, ie all except the four which , for modern historical reasons, are out of sync. These are Cataluña, Galicia, the Basque Country (the three historic nations of Spain, all with their own languages) and Andalucía, which held elections on 22nd March this year.
In addition, on 24th May, there were Local or Municipal elections across the entirety of Spain, with 8122 councils in total being elected, ranging from big cities such as Madrid and Barcelona with millions of voters, down to small 'pueblos' with electorates of only several hundred. A total of 67,640 'concejales' or councillors were voted in by an electorate of over 35 million.
The first unarguable conclusion from the overall results is, as all predicted, that the two-party system which has dominated the Transition from Franco's death in November 1975 to the 'democracy' enjoyed now by Spain is, for the moment, and, probably for the future, DEAD. The governing party PP and the principal opposition party PSOE, the Spanish Socialists, have effectively gone down from garnering over 80% of all votes cast to just over 50% now.
As widely predicted, the fracturing of this two-party hegemony of power was headed by Podemos, the anti-establishment party led by Pablo Iglesias, risen from the ashes of the 15 May street movements of 2011 and from the Politics Department of the Complutense University in Madrid. Also, the neo-liberal right-wing party, Ciudadanos, also gained huge support among the electorate. Ciudadanos is the new national party which has ballooned out from the anti-independence party Ciutadans in Cataluña and is led by another media-savvy politician, Albert Rivera.
Other political forces also emerged on 24th May, as will be shown. An aggregate picture however, putting Regional and Local Elections together shows PP having one of its worst results ever, dropping over 11 percentage points of popular support (38% down to 27%) but also PSOE experiencing one of its worst overall results since democracy (28% down to 25%), both, of course, because of lack of trust in the traditional parties accompanied by the rise of the new parties.
It is imp
By Kevin Bruton
It is important to separate out the results in the Regions from the Local results but, in both cases, space will only allow highlighting the major developments. Before 24th May, PP had overall majorities in 11 of the 13 Regions. The election result saw them lose this majority in all of these Regions. Since, also, the new parties, Podemos and Ciudadanos, stood mostly only in the Regions under their own names, then, clearly, the Regional results are, probably, a more significant indication of what may happen in the General Election due in November this year.
The front pages of the Spanish newspapers on 25th May, therefore, make interesting reading. Spain's biggest-selling national daily, "El País" (if one excludes sports dailies) had as its headline "El desplome de PP provoca un vuelco a favor de la izquierda" or "The collapse of PP provokes an upturn in favour of the left". Spain's second biggest national daily, "El Mundo", blazoned the headline "Cambio político a costa del PP" or "Political change at the cost of PP". The top-selling regional newspaper in the Valencia Region, "Las Provincias", headlined its front page with "Giro radical a la izquierda" or "Radical shift to the left". A selective analysis of the Regional results needs to begin with Madrid. Here PP lost overall control of the Region and can only govern if it does a deal with Ciudadanos. PP lost a third of its seats in the Region going down from 72 seats to 48, PSOE gained one seat rising from 36 to 37 but Podemos and Ciudadanos gained 27 seats and 17 seats respectively. Unfortunately, the right-wing combination of PP and Ciudadanos produces 65 seats in total, only one seat more than the left-wing parties of PSOE and Podemos combined.
In the Valencia Region, mired in PP corruption like Madrid, PP went down from 55 seats to 31 but PSOE also went down from 33 seats to 23. Podemos and Ciudadanos both won 13 seats while Compromís (essentially nationalists) won 19 seats. With PP losing its overall majority in the Valencia Region, there is certain to be an anti-PP coalition government, with the only argument being whether the Socialist leader , Ximo Puig, or the leader of Compromís, Mónica Oltra, will be President.
Turning to the Local elections, it is worth emphasising the results in the two big cities of Barcelona and Madrid. In Barcelona, a party set up very recently, Barcelona en Comú, by the anti-evictions campaigner Ada Colau won 11 seats, one more than the previously ruling nationalists of CiU who won 10. The other parties won 30 seats between them. As was stated in previous Updates, at local level generally Podemos and Ciudada

Turning to the Local elections, it is worth emphasising the results in the two big cities of Barcelona and Madrid. In Barcelona, a party set up very recently, Barcelona en Comú, by the anti-evictions campaigner Ada Colau won 11 seats, one more than the previously ruling nationalists of CiU who won 10. The other parties won 30 seats between them. As was stated in previous Updates, at local level generally Podemos and Ciudadanos either did not stand under their own name or coalesced with other previously known groupings. In the city of Barcelona, Ada Colau should become mayor. She has led the anti-evictions street protests and has totally condemned the corruption of the ruling nationalist party. She constantly points out that the banks in Barcelona are holding 80,000 flats empty while evicting people elsewhere.
In the city of Madrid, the Thatcherite Esperanza Aguirre of PP should not become mayor. With 57 council seats in total, PP went down from 31 to 21, PSOE also went down from 15 to 9 while Ciudadanos won 7 seats . The greatest success, however, was for another woman who came out of a community grouping. Her group is called Ahora Madrid and it won 20 seats, just one short of PP. The woman's name is Manuela Carmena, an examining magistrate, who will be mayor if she allies with the Socialist Party (this will give the alliance 29 seats out of 57) and, like Ada Colau in Barcelona, she says she has no political aspirations beyond her own community in her own city.
In the city of Valencia, the PP mayor Rita Barberá, after 24 years in office, should be able to look forward to retirement. With 33 councillors in total in the city of Valencia, PP is down to 10, the Socialists only have 5 , Compromís has 9, Ciudadanos 6 and Valencia en Comú (which includes Podemos) has 3. All kinds of possibilities exist for pacts or alliances but none of them will leave Rita Barberá in power.
A word of warning is necessary on pacts or coalitions or alliances between parties. On 22nd March this year, there was a Regional Election in Andalucía with no overall majority but with the Socialists by far the biggest party. At the time of writing, 79 days later, there is still no new Regional Government in Andalucía although this is likely to be resolved within the next few days. 'Only' 16 days after the 24th May elections the different parties continue to negotiate and the media continues to speculate about possible alignments. There are, however, several important points to make in the aftermath of the elections.
Within PP there have been numerous calls from within his own party for the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, either to resign or not to stand in the General Election in November this year. 12 PP ex-mayors in the Valencia Region have called for him to go, along with the PP head of Castilla-León Region. An opinion poll in "El País" on 8th June revealed that 50% of PP voters want Rajoy to go. Other PP regional heads have said that they will resign after the General Election. So far this has been true in Valencia, Aragón,and the Ballearics.
Pedro Sánchez, PSOE leader, has met both Pablo Iglesias, leader of Podemos, and Albert Rivera, leader of Ciudadanos, in the past week. Despite numerous statements to the media by all three leaders it is likely that in the end they will have to leave it to regional or local party leaders to decide which alliances to support.
The suicidal nature of PSOE comes to the fore again almost immediately. Sánchez was only elected party leader in July last year but now faces primary elections on 26th July to choose a PSOE candidate to fight the General Election in November. In case one might think this bicephalous lunacy may not come to pass, one PSOE candidate from Seville, Sergio Cebolla, has already put his name forward. He will, however, struggle to obtain the support of the required 9,500 PSOE members for his name to go forward.
As parties continue working out their sudokus of pacts and alliances, the first opinion poll since the elections asking voters who they would vote for if there were a general election now, was published in "El País" on 7th June. The results show little difference from pre-24th May opinion polls and they are as follows: PP 24.5%, PSOE 23%, Podemos 21.5%, Ciudadanos 13%. The drop for Ciudadanos from 19% to 13% is the only significant change.
While this Update has concentrated almost exclusively on Elections, a devastating report on poverty in Spain was published in the first week of June by, astonishingly, the Foundation of the La Caixa Bank. Previous Updates have summarised earlier reports on poverty in Spain although these have usually been from the OECD or UNICEF or Caritas. It is sickeningly ironic that La Caixa Bank (one of the perpetrators of the crisis) states that one in three children in Spain is living in poverty and that, in Europe, Spain is second only to Rumania. A school psychologist, Antonio Cuevas, was interviewed about this in the "Levante" newspaper of 8th June. He reports the frequency of children passing out from hunger in class, says also that some of these children have parents working in extreme poverty and concludes that the situation is worse than after the Spanish Civil War during the infamous "años de hambre" or "years of hunger".
This Update will finish will finish by going back briefly to electoral politics. A few days ago, "El Mundo" newspaper published a cartoon which depicts the Prime Minister Rajoy looking mesmerised and in a series of captions he is wondering: "What else can happen after the corruption scandals?"; "What else can go wrong after losing overall majorities across the country?"; and "What more can happen after so many calls from within my party for me to resign?". Then an aide comes in and says: "More bad news, sir. Sepp Blatter wants to join PP!"
ments. Before 24th May, PP had overall majorities in 11 of the 13 Regions. The election result saw them lose this majority in all of these Regions. Since, also, the new parties, Podemos and Ciudadanos, stood mostly only in the Regions under their own names, then, clearly, the Regional results are, probably, a more significant indication of what may happen in the General Election due in November this year.

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common type of arthritis, is a disease of the entire joint, typically involving the cartilage, bone, synovial membrane and ligaments. Cartilage physiology is typically altered and cartilage is eroded at the location where two bones meet, or articulate.
Traditionally, osteoarthritis was thought to be due to normal "wear and tear" of aging, a degenerative disorder for which little could be done. Since the 1980s, research evidence has shifted the focus of thinking, and now there are a variety of treatment options to relieve pain such as NSAIDs, corticosteroids, acetaminophen, joint replacement, and more recently, hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplementation.
HA is the natural substance found in the fluid that surrounds a healthy knee joint and helps cushion, lubricate and protect the knee as it moves throughout the day.

On March 3-4, 2013 the Second G20 Sherpas' Meeting was held in Moscow within the framework of Russia's G20 presidency.
The G20 Sherpas discussed the results of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting held in February, and the implementation of the Framework Agreement for Strong, Sustainable and Balanced Growth, as well as the issues of investment financing, reforms of the international financial architecture, financial regulation and the impact of structural reforms on economic growth.
Besides, the main outcomes of the G20 working groups' meetings, namely, on energy sustainability, employment, anti-corruption, and development, which were held earlier in February, were reported to Sherpas.
The delegates were also addressed by the representatives of the Business 20, Civil 20 and Youth 20, who delivered on the activities of their respective outreach groups in 2013.
The G20 Sherpas also discussed the preparatory process for the St.Petersburg summit.
The Second G20 Sherpas' Meeting was held in a constructive manner, Ksenia Yudaeva said, reminding that the G20 Sherpas' main task is to prepare for the G20 Leaders Summit. It is to be determined which problems of the global economy will retain their topicality until September and hence should be placed into the Leaders' agenda. "The G20 Sherpas have agreed that the issues raised by Russia for the G20 within its Presidency's framework - jobs and employment, investment and economic growth - have priority importance, thereby, these issues rather than attempts to address shorter term tasks must be the focus of the G20," told Ksenia Yudaeva, Chief of the Presidential Experts Directorate and the Russian G20 Sherpa, in her interview to the "Rossiya 24" TV channel.
According to the Russian Sherpa, the Russian proposal that the G20 countries should undertake a commitment to stabilize their foreign debts and budget deficits was put under scrutiny at the meeting. The corresponding commitments made at the Toronto Summit in 2010, have not been fulfilled, that is why nowadays the G20 countries have to adopt a more thorough and substantiated approach towards the issue. "There are objective difficulties that are preventing member countries from undertaking equally tough commitments," Ksenia Yudaeva continued. "We are no longer insisting that all the G20 countries should simply halve their deficits, as was decided in 2010. We have proposed a more flexible system, allowing for the G20 countries' assuming of medium-term obligations that will differ from country to country and will take into account their institutional limitations."
During their second meeting in Moscow, the G20 Sherpas gave full recognition to Russia's idea that investment should be the key tool for job creation. They agreed that a working group should be established within the Finance Track to collect all the relevant proposals. "It is quite clear even now in which areas proposals will be made," the Russian Sherpa noted. "We are also considering the possibility of modifying mandates of national and international development banks, with the goal of focusing the institutions for development on promoting investment, primarily in infrastructure, and supporting public-private partnerships in this area."
Sherpas also touched upon the issue of long term finance; in this regard the role of regulation was addressed. "In view of changes in regulation over the past 10 years, the duration of investments by long term finance institutions (notably, pension funds, insurance companies, etc.) has become shorter. Therefore, we need to review our approaches to regulation and possibly draft relevant recommendations," Ksenia Yudaeva said.
The urgent need to develop local and regional capital markets, which should generate funds for investment and increase the stability of financial markets, primarily in the emerging economies, also received much attention at the Sherpas' Meeting.
With reference to the issues of the employment agenda, the G20 Sherpas pointed out the importance of an integrated approach, but at the same time of respecting individual circumstances of a particular country, both in terms of country-specific problems and their possible solutions. "Unemployment is a major problem in a number of the developed countries, including structural and primarily youth unemployment," Ms. Yudaeva said. "But in other developed countries this is not an acute problem. According to the OECD data, youth unemployment in Germany is lower than overall unemployment. Structures of the emerging market economies are rapidly changing, and since the young people are a more flexible group of the population, they can adjust by taking up jobs in the new sectors. There are countries with almost full employment, where unemployment is at its historic lows, but the economic growth rate has also slowed there. So their goal is not to create just any jobs but quality jobs."
The need for a flexible approach on this issue was stressed in numerous Sherpas' interventions. One of the goals is to accumulate best policy response practices, but on the other hand, it should be up to the countries to freely choose the practices that suit them best.
During their second meeting, the G20 Sherpas also discussed the Russian initiative on attracting investment into the energy sector. "Promoting this initiative includes holding meetings of regulators and analysis of international experience," Ksenia Yudaeva informed. "Recommendations resulting from this work should help us regulate the energy sector in order to make it attractive for investors. This is one of the key issues of domestic policy for Russia."
Ms. Yudaeva pointed out that the anti-corruption issues were also vigorously discussed. The main task in this area is to implement the G20 Anti-Corruption Action Plan for 2013-2014, which is the basic document that sets out the main elements of the anti-corruption agenda. Additionally, Russia has put forward several new initiatives, including fighting corruption while organizing and holding major international sports events and in the sphere of privatization.
The Russian Sherpa emphasized that the representatives of the Civil 20 and Business 20 contributed to the efforts of the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group, which is an important innovation introduced by Russia's Presidency. The participants recognized the efficiency of this approach.
Commenting on Russia's stance on the outreach dialogue, Ksenia Yudaeva said that in previous years considerable attention to the outreach was given just at the final stages of the respective Presidencies. "Business and Civil Summits were held immediately before the G20 summits," Ms. Yudaeva noted. "Recommendations were being formulated, but they were not complemented with institutionalized methods for incorporating these recommendations into the official track. Russia will work closely with business, civil society, youth and labour organizations throughout the year of its presidency, seeking to incorporate these communities' recommendations into the official process. From our viewpoint, this approach will help us enhance the effectiveness of the entire process."

Innovation is part of LSTM's DNA and has been since our inception almost 125 years ago. For over a century, LSTM has nurtured some of the leading global health experts in their field and equipped them with the skills necessary to tackle the enormity of health challenges that face the world.
Addressing inequality in global health is complex; we need to develop the future leaders to rapidly respond to the ever-changing challenges and to provide new and innovative solutions to the big questions in global health. We are continually examining and revising our existing teaching practices so that we can explore exciting new delivery models to keep up with the changing landscape of global health and ensure that we continue to lead the way. To do this, we are embarking on an exciting period of transformation with the expansion of our education programmes overseas.
Our vision is to develop a world-leading, flexible and responsive model of education for global health leadership that addresses specific local challenges and is delivered in partnership, incountry through regional hubs. We are in post-consultation talks with key partners to establish Ghana as our newest overseas hub, where the face-to-face components of our new flagship MSc Global Health will be delivered, enabling students from West Africa to locally access LTSM's world-leading education. We will work in partnership with Ghanaian and other West African academic institutions to attract, retain and continually develop the best possible talent to strengthen the global health workforce in West Africa and beyond.
To accelerate this launch, we are seeking support for full and partial scholarships for the first five years of the programme. This support will enable us to make a 'big splash' in the growth of our educational activities in West Africa. These scholarships will enable us to attract the most talented and highly capable students. Critically, it will allow us to understand the demand for this support so that we can tailor future investment accordingly.
By breaking down geographical and financial barriers, we are helping to tackle the extreme inequality in health care that affects the world's poorest and most vulnerable; breaking the cycle of poor health and poverty.
Leading up to our 125th anniversary in 2023, our aim is to increase the number of scholarships that we can award to give opportunities to the brightest students, irrespective of t heir financial circumstances, to study at LSTM.
If you have a question or would like to discuss supporting Scholarships, please contact us by email or just give us a call. We are always happy to help.

Window Girl - Public Transportation EP Review
Sacramento-based indie rock band Window Girl returns to the soundspace a year after Passing Periods with their new EP Public Transportation. Window Girl consists of Edynn Sandoval on drums and Steven Greer on guitar, as well as Bella Vista alumni Holden Vigna on guitar and Meztli Medina on bass. The EP features six songs, including "Terracotta" and "Infinite Whatever". The EP doesn't have a definite sound that the band can really call theirs, however Public Transportation is an endearing messy hodgepodge of sounds and moods, which really makes it all the more loveable.

The whole point of EP's is to experiment, develop, and workshop ideas, while also making music that they enjoy. The mixing on this EP is more balanced and brings life to the vocals, which is more pleasurable and brings a better listening experience. Starting off with the first song "Headache", Window Girl brings loud vocals and loud guitars over heavy drums to create something that will set the tone for the EP. One of my least favorite songs on the EP, really can't find any redeeming qualities. But, the second song "Terracotta" reigns the overall sound back in, by slowing down the pace and bringing mellower vocals and drums.

Next, we have one of the better songs on the EP, "Squeeze", where the slightly distorted guitar with the bass and drums really work with the vocals and create a nice listening experience. Top tier pacing and tone really complete it. "Hydrangeas" is right after, and brings a mellower tone to prepare you for the next song, which so happens to be my favorite song, "Sleep on Me". The overall vibe of the song is so chill, and the layered vocals really complete the song and just make it stand out. The pure emotion in the song yells at me through the whispers of the vocals. No one is trying too hard and is just working together to make an absolute banger. I cannot express how good this song is in simple words. Definitely a late night song to cry or sleep or study too. It covers a very wide range of emotions. This is (for real) one of my favorite songs recently, up there with artists who have been around a little longer. And last but not least is "Infinite Whatever", which combines the slowest and mellowest parts of the EP with "Headache", which makes the heaviness much more bearable and pleasurable to consume.
Overall, Public Transportation is definitely worth a listen if you are into indie rock, shoegaze, and other similar genres.

Jordan Wilkins is back, ready to lead in 2017
byColton Necaise
Jordan Wilkins catches a pass in a game during the 2015 football season.
After a long season spent watching from the sidelines, Ole Miss running back Jordan Wilkins is on pace to return for the Rebels this fall.
Wilkins was declared ineligible for the 2016 season after failing to enroll in the required number of course hours. Players starting their fourth year must have finished at least 60 percent of their curriculum; Wilkins had not.
While the redshirt junior was disheartened by his ineligible status, his response spoke volumes of his maturity.
"The easy thing to do is point fingers but that's not the right way," Wilkins said in a Facebook post. "I will handle this like a man and this is just an obstacle in life that I will overcome and keep going. Life is full of ups and downs. It's about how you respond."
Wilkins carried the football 72 times during the 2015 season for a total of 379 yards and four touchdowns, all the while splitting time with Akeem Judd. He hopes to bounce back this fall and continue improving his numbers.
While the changing dynamic within the football program will be an adjustment for the seasoned running back, Wilkins said he is glad to be back and ready to get into the thick of things.
"It's a new offense, new coaches, new players, new teammates and a new family for me, so coming in and learning this offense has been really fun," Wilkins said.
Experienced and ready to lead, Wilkins spoke humbly of his role in the coming season.
"Whatever my role is to coach Longo, if he wants me inside the red zone to pound it in, I will," he said. "If he wants me to be that second team leader, I'll be that second team leader. I'll do whatever it takes to help this offense out."
Derrick Nix, running backs coach, has taken notice of Wilkins' work ethic and attitude.
"It's something we've always preached," Nix said. "That's more of a mindset with him, though, that just comes with time and more maturity. I think it's sprinkling down to our whole offense."
The Rebels are also returning junior Eric Swinney, among others, as Nix hopes to improve an already talented running back group.
"I'm really pleased with all of them," Nix said "They're all pushing each other. They're friendly but pushing each other to be the very best."
While Wilkins and Swinney remain day-to-day, with knee and head injuries, respectively, the Ole Miss coaching staff is optimistic they will both be healthy in time for the season's start.
The Rebels open the season up at 6:30 p.m. next Saturday at home as they host the University of South Alabama Jaguars.

When I first started using Ubuntu back in early 2007 (Ubuntu 6.10) I fell in love with a pre-installed app called Tomboy. I had used Tomboy for several years until Ubuntu One notified users it would stop syncing Tomboy a couple years ago, and then the finality of Ubuntu One shutting down earlier this year. I had rushed to find alternatives like Evernote, Gnotes, etc but none of them were simple and easily integrated.
Some of Tomboys notable features are highlighting text, inline spell checking, auto-linking web & email addresses, undo/redo, font styling & sizing and bulleted lists.
I am creating new notes as well as manually importing a few of my old notes from a couple years ago. Tomboy used to sync easily with Ubuntu One. Since that is no longer an option, you can do it with your Dropbox folder or your Google Drive folder (I'm using Insync).
When you start Tomboy there will be a little square note icon with pen up on your top bar. Clicking the icon will show you the Tomboy menu options. To sync your notes across your computers you would go to the Tomboy preferences, clicking the Syncronization tab, and pick a local folder in your Dropbox or Google Drive. Thats pretty much it! Start writing those notes! On your other computers that you want to sync your notes, you would select the same sync folder you chose on your first computer.
A few quick points. When you sync your notes, it will create a folder titled "0" in whatever folder you have chosen to sync your notes in.
If you want to launch Tomboy with your system startup (in Ubuntu 14.04) in Unity search for "Startup Applications" and run it. Add a new app titled "Tomboy" with the command "tomboy", save and close. Next time you log on, your Tomboy notes will be ready to use.
If you are still looking for syncing options, this comes in from Christian….
