The FSU offensive coordinator talked about what he needs to do better and finding the plays that work for his offense.

Tallahassee Democrat

Florida State’s offense has left plenty to be desired from its first two games.

The Seminoles have been outscored, 68-23, in season-opening defeats against Georgia Tech and Miami last Saturday.

It’s clear FSU must go back to the drawing board before Saturday’s home game against Jacksonville State. Kickoff is 4 p.m. 

The Seminoles could also rely more on scripted plays.

On two scripted drives this season, FSU has scored 10 points. However, it also means the offense has scored 13 points on non-scripted drives out of the remainder of the play calls.

“Those scripted drives, we rep over and over again so our guys feel really

Like many modern-day entertainers with old homes, Karen Williams had long found that the layout and flow in her Hamptons home just wasn’t quite ideal for her lifestyle.

Pennsylvania GOP Chairman Claims He Was Taken Out of Context in Atlantic Story on Trump Stealing Election

Lawrence Tabas insists he has no intention of disenfranchising the voters of Pennsylvania.Tabas, the state’s Republican Party chairman, said he isn’t planning a scheme where the GOP-led State Assembly – not voters – would choose Pennsylvania’s 20 electors.He hasn’t discussed such a strategy with other Republican leaders or the Trump campaign.But he understands why readers of The Atlantic might come to the conclusion that he has.Tabas was one of several sources in a 9,800-word story by Atlantic staff writer Barton Gellman published last week on the magazine’s website. The story explores potential 2020 election chaos and the possibility that President Donald Trump could cling to power by preventing “the formation of a consensus about whether there is any outcome at all.”The story says Tabas is one of at least three prominent

Home Depot Has Long Dominated America’s Newest Pastime: Home Improvement Projects

home improvement

It all started with a firing—a very foolish one.

In 1978, Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank were executives at Handy Dan, a home improvement chain based in Southern California. Despite the business being very profitable, the pair had begun to tinker with a new idea. By lowering prices, they found, the stores’ volume shot up, making Handy Dan even more money. The executives had planned to implement that strategy systemwide, but they never got the chance. Corporate raider Sanford C. Sigoloff—who liked to call himself the “Skillful Scalpel”—took over the company, and deciding to save himself two salaries, got rid of Marcus and Blank.

That one decision probably prevented Handy Dan from becoming America’s home improvement leader. Instead, that honor would go to a place called The Home Depot.

Recruiting investment banker Ken Langone and retailer Pat Farrah, who’d run National Lumber and Supply Company, Marcus and Blank opened up

Some Wealth Gap Improvements Were Happening, Then the Recession Hit

improvements

It is no secret that there is a wealth gap in America. Many nations have these wealth gaps among different races and ethnicities, but they are more easily tracked in the most developed economy in the world. Before considering the impact of the 2020 recession, there was some good news and some bad news in the wealth gap and disparities among different races in America.

The Federal Reserve has released its 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances. While the broad report is vast and covers many topics, the Fed also broke down how those wealth disparities look by race and ethnicity. Since the most recent similar report in 2016, the Fed indicated that the typical white family has about eight times the wealth of the typical Black family and about five times the wealth of the typical Hispanic family.
