Hume falsely claims that the stimulus failed
Research ››› ››› CHRISTINE SCHWEN
Fox News' Brit Hume claimed that the stimulus "manifestly failed" to "get the unemployment rate down." This claim flies in the face of the economic consensus, as economists believe the stimulus raised GDP and increased employment and "substantial[ly]" boosted GDP.
Hume claims that the stimulus "manifestly failed"
Hume: Stimulus "manifestly failed" to "get the unemployment rate down." On the September 26 edition of Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume claimed that instead of getting "something done about the economy" as "the public wanted," Obama "allow[ed] Congress to enact this whopping stimulus bill, which was completely unfocused and promiscuous in its spending, that has manifestly failed, A, to end the rescission, which ended in June of 2009, and B, to get the unemployment rate down."
Independent and private analysts: Stimulus significantly raised employment
CEA: ARRA raised employment "by between 2.5 and 3.6 million." In its fourth quarterly report on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act [ARRA] of 2009, the White House's Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) stated that "as of the second quarter of 2010, the ARRA has raised employment relative to what it otherwise would have been by between 2.5 and 3.6 million. These estimates are broadly consistent with the direct recipient reporting data available for 2010:Q1."
CBO estimates stimulus increased employment by up to 3.3 million jobs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated in August that as of the second quarter of 2010, the stimulus "[i]ncreased the number of people employed by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million."
IHS/Global Insight estimates job impact of 1.7 million by early 2010. PolitiFact.com stated on February 17 that "[u]sing updated estimates provided to PolitiFact, IHS/Global Insight estimates that 1.7 million jobs will be created or saved by the first quarter of 2010." The CEA report also cites this estimate from IHS/Global Insight.
Moody's economy.com estimated 1.9 million additional jobs by early 2010. The PolitiFact post further stated that "[u]sing updated estimates provided to PolitiFact ... Moody's economy.com estimated that 1.9 million jobs will be created or saved" by the first quarter of 2010. The CEA report also cited this estimate from Moody's economy.com.
Macroeconomic Advisers estimated 1.8million additional jobs by early 2010. The CEA report stated that Macroeconomic Advisers estimates that the Recovery Act raised employment by 1.8 million as of the second quarter of 2010, citing an analysis provided to CEA.
Administration estimated stimulus would increase employment by between 3.3 and 4.1 million jobs by the end of 2010. In a January 9, 2009, report on the job impact of a "prototypical" stimulus package "in the range that the President-Elect has discussed," Christina Romer and Jared Bernstein estimated that a stimulus package would raise employment by between "3.3 to 4.1 million jobs" by the end of 2010. The report clearly notes that this estimate is calculated "relative to the no-stimulus baseline."
Economists: "The effects of the fiscal stimulus" on economy "appear very substantial"
Moody's study shows "the effects of the fiscal stimulus alone appear very substantial, raising 2010 real GDP by about 3.4%." A recent study by Alan Blinder, the president of Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers, and Mark Zandi, the co-founder of Moody's Economy.com, simulated the "macroeconomic effects of the government's total policy response" to the recent economic downturn and found that "the effects of the fiscal stimulus alone appear very substantial, raising 2010 real GDP by about 3.4%, holding the unemployment rate about 1½ percentage points lower, and adding almost 2.7 million jobs to U.S. payrolls."
Wall Street Journal: 70 percent of economists surveyed said stimulus helped. The Wall Street Journal reported on March 12 that 38 of the 54 economists it surveyed "said the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act boosted growth and mitigated job losses, while six said the legislation had a net negative effect."
ABC News: Most on panel of economists "think the economy would be worse" without the stimulus. ABC News reported on February 18 that "most" of the economists on its panel "think the economy would be worse today without the big aid package, which totaled $787 billion and was signed into law by President Obama on Feb. 17, 2009."
NABE: 83 percent say stimulus raised GDP. A February survey of 203 members of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) found that, "[e]ighty-three percent believe that GDP is currently higher than it would have been without the 2009 stimulus package (ARRA)."

VIDEO: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade talk about the Heat's loss in The Finals
SAN ANTONIO – The trek from the court back to the visitors' dressing room at the AT&T Center is longer than most in the NBA. It requires Spurs opponents to slip through the tunnel at one end and then head down, beneath the stands, almost to the other end. A basic salt-and-pepper, industrial-strength mat shows them the way, behind a little iron railing.
On nights like Sunday, in the moments after their Game 5 elimination from The 2014 Finals, it's way more perp walk than red carpet.
One by one, the Heat players, coaches and staff trod along that path, San Antonio's on-court celebration revving up and booming through the building. LeBron James walked fast, head high, a phalanx of cameras and reporters tracking each step. Dwyane Wade came a few beats later, bare-chested, his Miami jersey gifted at some point after the final horn. They were stone-faced, revealing nothing beyond the harshness and letdown of the outcome.
Ray Allen strode by with purpose, inscrutable, deep in thoughts that surely didn't include cheeseburgers. Then Pat Riley, looking almost wistful, resigned or ground down by the 70-point differential between his team and the Spurs (the fattest cumulative margin in Finals history). Chris Bosh paused, turned and shook hands with Heat assistant Bob McAdoo. Shane Battier spied a friend, smiled briefly and pantomimed a golf swing, a sign of his impending retirement.
None of them looked happy, obviously. None of them, however, was brought to his knees.
That, after all, is social media's job, along with the rest of this what-have-you-done-for-me-five-minutes-from-now culture. It musters no patience, offers no comfort and certainly treats nothing sacred, particularly with this team, whose critics outnumber its fans 10-to-1, maybe 100-to-1.
However unceremonious its march into the offseason, Miami had wrapped up four consecutive trips to The Finals. The first, against Dallas in 2011, brought hard lessons and a little humility. The next two produced Larry O'Brien trophies, just like they all had pictured it. This one, three straight beatdowns still hanging in the air, had been telegraphed by slippage in the Heat's defensive ranks and the loss (via amnesty) of Mike Miller from last year's team.
This one carried with it some payback from the Spurs, who had been on the other side last June,and it naturally brought a skidload of questions, speculation and uncertainty.
Because this was the Heat and that's how they roll.
So, Erik Spoelstra, have you guys underachieved? That's how it went and that's how it will go for days and weeks and months, now that the ol' smoke-and-lasers pep rally back of July 2010 ("Not one, not two, not three…") officially has stopped at two, at least temporarily.
Spoelstra referred to it as "the exaggeration that's out there."
"Even as painful as it feels right now, you have to have perspective," the Heat coach said. "Even the team we're playing against has never been to the Finals four straight years. You can't be jaded enough not to appreciate that."
Wanna bet? Only two other franchises – Boston and the Minneapolis/L.A. Lakers – ever had made it to four Finals in a row. But this was supposed to be about rings, not runners-up. It's the life they chose, once James, Wade and Bosh conspired to sign with Miami four years ago and gild their resumes through a strength-in-superstar-numbers approach.
Now it's about the expectations they face. And the urgency to somehow fix things. And the criticism, the gripes and the second-guesses. A lot of people have been waiting for this slip by Miami. Plenty of others, even among Heat fans, are anxiously wondering what's next. Entertain us.
Even if the Heat had pulled off the three-peat, the team's future would have been in play. Its stars all have opt-out clauses in their contracts, Battier and maybe Allen will be gone and clearly the roster needed more last summer than Michael Beasley and Greg Oden. It needs even more now after the gap exposed between Miami and San Antonio, the shaky play at point guard and the need to get stronger in the paint.
Spoelstra praised the Spurs – twice – for their exquisite basketball and, like others on the Miami side, sounded humbled by how thoroughly San Antonio dispatched them. "It's a big disappointment feeling like this," Spoelstra said."It's an incredibly empty feeling."
Said Bosh: "They exposed us, you know. They picked us apart. They made us question what we were doing and we were always behind the whole time. They played faster, they played stronger, they played tougher and they played like they wanted it more and they played with more pain."
VIDEO: Chris Bosh talks about the Game 5 loss and his future in Miami
Nothing hangs over Miami's immediate future quite like James' decision on free agency in the next few weeks. He could opt-out and re-sign with Miami. He could opt-in and give it all one more season. He could opt-out and vamoose, turned off by the load he lugged down the stretch (he scored 31 points in Game 5, the other four Heat starters combined for 32).
There have been more than a few references lately to "the Miami Cavaliers," a nod to the limited help he got in these playoffs from other Heat players, similar to the Cleveland teams he carried in his first four seasons. And that "1 Through 5" nickname Spoelstra hung on James for his ability to defend any position has morphed for some into "1 On 5," given the way he too often had to play this year.
James is 2-3 in The Finals now – one big separation from Michael Jordan (6-0) – and those inclined to dislike him would love to push him toward 1-4. Y'know, if not for that Allen 3-pointer late in Game 6 last year…
"Obviously they all hurt," James said. "This year they dominated us from every facet of the game – offensively, defensively. … [But] I've been able to be a part of five of them. I would love to sit up here and say I was 5-0, but I'm not. I'm 2-3."
As for his future – be it in Miami, Cleveland or anywhere else, with or without Carmelo Anthony added to the Heat's pricey mix – James was circumspect as he digested the disappointment Sunday.
"I will deal with my summer when I get to that point," he said from behind a pair of tinted glasses. "Me and my team will sit down and deal with it. I love Miami. My family loves it. But obviously right now that's not even what I'm thinking about.
"You guys are trying to find answers. I'm not going to give you one. I'm just not going to give it to you."
Wade was cagey, too. Spoelstra and the Heat's medical staff had turned him into a part-time player this season for the express purpose of having him rested and fresh for another long postseason. Yet he was no factor by the end, shooting 7-of-25 for 21 points, total, in Games 4 and 5. The Miami shooting guard had 18 turnovers to 13 assists in The Finals, so his game was aching even if he wasn't.
"Nothing," Wade said when asked about health issues vs. the Spurs. "Just struggled a little bit. As I told you guys, I'm never going to point at anything physically."
Since he wouldn't cop to anything specific, knees, hamstring or otherwise, Wade's response gave life to theories that he somehow had grown old in a hurry the past 10 days. And fuels its own speculation about the 32-year-old's value going forward, helper vs. hindrance.
"It wasn't just Dwyane," Spoelstra said. "It was pretty much everybody except for LeBron, and we just weren't able to get into our normal rhythm."
Wade wasn't feeling introspective afterward, either – he too wore shades – but he did talk a bit about the big picture of coming together as teammates, visions of Finals trips and a couple more trophies dancing in their heads.
"It's been a hell of a ride these four years," Wade said. "We'd love to be 4-for-4, it just wasn't in the cards for us to be that."
So it starts anew, another phase to the Miami stars' grand experiment, every aspect of their love 'em-or-hate 'em quest for specialness (on the court and off) chronicled and distilled for maximum drama. The Spurs will be the defending champions next time around. The Heat? Merely, and always, the guys with the targets on their backs.
"The whole league continues to get better every single year," James said. "Obviously, we would need to get better from every facet, every position. It's just how the league works."

Lady Jane and Sir David Vincent, a husband and wife team of glamourists, accept a commission in London and take Jane's sister with them, in hopes of broadening her prospects for marriage; in the process, they become embroiled in treasonous conspiracies and familial tribulations that threaten far more than their marital content.
England in 1816 is cold and dreary, and staying with her family for an extended visit is a pleasure wearing thin for Jane and her husband. When they are invited to London to create a glamural (a mural created by magic, or "glamour") in the ballroom of a baron, the couple accepts. Melody, Jane's younger, unmarried sister, has few prospects in their rural neighborhood, so they take her with them. Melody meets Mr. O'Brien, son and heir to their client, and they are mutually interested. Jane learns the family is Irish Catholic, however, and discourages a match. More disturbing, Jane meets Vincent's father, an earl who cast his son off when he pursued the art of glamour. Despite the couple's success, including commissions from the Prince Regent himself, the Earl of Verbury maintains a cool attitude with them, which moves toward malice as the plot unfolds. Events in England are tumultuous. It is the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, which affects society in unexpected ways, and the unseemly weather (based on actual historic events related to the eruption of Mt. Tambora) creates even more unrest and uncertainty, which place Jane, Vincent and Mr. O'Brien in dangerous territory. Kowal has penned a wonderful Regency romance/fantasy crossover with fascinating tidbits of and nods to history. The characters are unique and authentic, whether they are heroes or villains, and include a surprising degree of human foible. At the heart of the successful story are an intriguing world built around a clever concept of everyday magic and a sweet, unconventional marriage of two oddly yet perfectly matched partners.
A creative, elegantly crafted novel that combines magical elements, historical intrigue, and both a broad and an intimate canvas of human weakness and virtue.

Working in his office, I got to look at some of his LOR's and found them to be pretty plain. Since I did have the honor of being an office-female dog, I think I'd get an extra line about that. Will his fame offset the vanilla-ness of the letter? I'll already be borderline at some schools and was hoping this was one soft factor that could help push me over.

One of my best friends in the world doesn't care one lick about sports. She wasn't raised to like sports, and therefore she knows nothing about them. Her lack of knowledge veers toward the comical. She thought playing fantasy football meant rolling dice and occasionally yelling, "I scored a touchdown!" She couldn't pick LeBron James out of a lineup. When I take her to baseball games with me, she always brings a book. Sports have no place in her life whatsoever.
Even though I spend far more of my waking hours thinking about sports than is healthy, I don't find this difficult to comprehend. First off: Sports are not invaluable to our lives and, all told, are a waste of time. (A glorious waste of time, my favorite way to waste time on earth, but a waste of time regardless; to borrow the phrase, nobody on their deathbed wishes they had stayed up to watch that Idaho-Washington State game.) I sometimes wonder if you surgically removed sports-related thoughts from my brain, I'd used the newly available brain space to invent cold fusion, or cure cancer.
But the main reason this makes sense is that I absolutely understand not knowing anything about something I don't care about because there are literally millions of things on earth like that. There are volumes upon volumes of facts to learn about handbags, or reality television, or woodworking, or the British royal family, but I'll never learn any of them because I don't care about any of those things. That's how my friend is about sports. She doesn't know anything because she doesn't care. I get it.
Except … I don't have to pay to keep the British royal family or woodworking alive.
By now, I hope you've read Patrick Hruby's terrific piece on this site about corporate welfare in sports. It's a riveting, thoroughly depressing piece of journalism, nailing down just how much the true "takers" in our economy are those we're cheering for every day. He got to a lot of things in that piece, but one thing he wasn't able to - one thing he alerted me to, thinking I might write about it, albeit not nearly as well as him - was the ridiculousness of cable bundling fees.
You, me and just about everyone who works for and reads this website enjoys sports. You wouldn't be here otherwise. So therefore, we take ESPN and NFL Network and MLB Network and the Fox Sports channels for granted. We couldn't live without those stations. In many ways, they're the only reasons we subscribe. The cable companies - and, more to the point, the leagues - know this. And they're charging everyone for it.
Derek Thompson of The Atlantic wrote a terrific piece last week breaking down just how much of the average cable bill is devoted to sports. Turns out: It's 15 percent. Now, I personally spend more than that, with my subscriptions to MLB Extra Innings, NBA League Pass and so on, but the average person with basic cable is paying 15 percent of their bill for sports channels.
That might not seem like a lot to you. But boy, is it. Every month, the average cable consumer is paying roughly $5 a month for ESPN and other ESPN channels. That is five bucks, out of the pocket of every single cable subscriber, going straight to Bristol.
That's not every sports fan: That's every cable subscriber. In other words: My friend, who couldn't pick Kobe Bryant out of a lineup, who doesn't even know where ESPN is on her cable dial, gives $60 a year to ESPN. She never watches it. She never even thinks about it. But she pays $60 a year to them, regardless.
It's not just ESPN, though they're the biggest offender. This chart's a few years old, so the numbers are too low, but an immediate look shows just how many of the most "expensive" cable channels on your bill are sports-related. The next most expensive channel after sports channels is the Disney Channel, and it costs roughly one-fifth of what ESPN does. You can make a strong argument that cable television is essentially a sports transmission device with a bunch of filler about Ice-T's wife and "Law & Order" reruns surrounding it.
This, of course, has changed the landscape of sports from every possible angle, from the Dodgers' spending spree to college bowl games to labor disputes to, of course, college conference realignment. It doesn't matter how many games you go to, or how much merchandise you buy; that's in large part ancillary income anymore. What matters, when you really break it down, is that because people like my friend want to have cable TV, and people like me can't live without sports channels, the entire country is handing ESPN and sports channels money whether they like sports or not. Or whether they even know it. As Thompson put it: "Channels competing over sports rights bid up the price of programming. The bundle pricing model means you have no choice but to pay what amounts to a mandatory sports tax. Media companies' all-or-nothing deal with cable providers means you have no choice but to pay at least $100 per year for sports you don't plan to watch."
This is why Rutgers is in the Big Ten and why the Dodgers just sold for $2 billion (and why Zack Greinke now pitches for them) and why pretty much everything in sports is happening. Sports are getting rich - and rapidly transforming themselves to become more rich - because of my friend's unwitting wallet.
The strange thing about this is: Cable bundling is sort of a relic. In recent years, there has been a movement called "cord cutting." Frustrated by increasing cable bills - you've noticed yours going up exponentially every year - and encouraged by the amount of "free" content on the Web, many consumers have decided to go cableless, at least on the television side. If you have a PlayStation 3 or Xbox and reliable wireless, you can stream everything through your television anyway, particularly with Apple TV now allowing you to mirror your computer through your TV screen. If you can watch it on your computer, you can watch it on TV. Now, apps like WatchESPN are attempting to fight this by making you sign into their app through your cable provider, but if you're a sports fan, you don't have a problem paying for cable anyway. Everything else you can find almost anywhere, from Hulu to CBS.com and so on. (Seriously, the Wired story explains this really well.) Some cable companies have even responded by trying a low-cost tier that gets rid of sports all together, with limited success so far.
Not that many people are going through all the trouble to do this yet, but as cable fees keep going up, and more workarounds can be found (and we haven't even gotten into pirated feeds), more people will cut the cord. We live in an information-wants-to-be-free age, and we're still being held down by these media-company gatekeepers. In the real world it's 2012; in the cable universe, it might as well be 1988. Eventually, this will have to change. It's too insane and rigged-against-the-consumer for it not to. The problem, of course, is that, like so many capitalists before them, leagues and teams and sports networks are all assuming that it'll always be like this, that these revenue will keep growing forever and ever, that this golden goose will always keep laying eggs. There are decades upon decades of Darwinian consumer trends that contradict that. In 30 years, we may have all unplugged our cable bundles and be paying a la carte. This is the nightmare situation, but I'm not the first person to suggest we're living in a cable sports television bubble. Someday it'll pop. Then, suddenly, we'll look and think: Why in the world is Maryland in the Big Ten?
Otherwise, my friend is never going to get her money's worth unless she starts liking sports. Maybe I'll try to help and invite her over to watch a game. After all, she's paying for it.

Duke Jordan, who played regularly with the Charlie Parker Quintet in 1947, has long been known as a superior bebop pianist whose style was touched by the genius of Bud Powell's innovations. This quintet album (which also features trumpeter Dizzy Reece and the young tenor Stanley Turrentine) gave Jordan an opportunity to record six of his originals and, although none became as well-known as his "Jordu," the music has plenty of strong melodies and variety. This is one of Duke Jordan's better recordings and is quite enjoyable. Blue Note's CD reissue included "Diamond Stud" and "I Should Care" as bonus tracks.] ~ Scott Yanow

Hey Chuck...wait any longer you'll get it on DVD.. :2funny:
Last Chance HarveyA lovely story of a man who has somehow failed to take advantage of most of the opportunities life had given him. Dustin Hoofman (Harvey) was somehow lost in this flick and he didn't convince me he really wanted to make it happen for himself at last. Ema Thompson (Kate) was really good in the film and probably outshined Hoffman. The story takes you through almost no background on Harvey's life and times. I think they failed to make us connect and relate with Harvey. While it was nice to see lots of open feelings I couldn't understand the immediate openness they had with each other after a few minutes of dialogue. The story had all the elements for a great passion filled movie but did not deliver. Harvey who was about to get fired, was divorce and somehow the ex and child (Now an adult female about to get married) ended up living in England. The daughter was getting married and even had her "step dad" give her away in her wedding instead of her real dad. Well, that was hurtful, even I felt that one! When he stood up to take over what was going to be her step dad's attempt to take his place in the toast I expected a really spirited speech. I guest I expected bigger words and deeper emotions to prevail and once again the movie failed me. Another thing, why was Kate down so much as well? Maybe it should have been Last Chance Kate and Harvey! It's like both of them chose a life of solitude and depression.I actually liked it more than I thought I would. There was something adult about it. Of course, I saw it on a plane after a long delay which I spent at an airport bar. Still, it wasn't bad.

Romney pitches women
POWELL, Ohio – Tweaking his usual stump speech, Mitt Romney renewed his pitch to women on economic issues saying he wants to help them start businesses.
"Just a word to the women entrepreneurs out there," Romney said. "If we become president and vice president we want to speak to you, we want to help you."
Story Continued Below
Stumping for the third time this week with running mate Paul Ryan, Romney added several lines to his speech in an effort to court women, one of the more overt overtures aimed at a group that Democrats have been courting heavily.
"Women in this country are more likely to start businesses than men," Romney said. "Women need our help."
The campaign pointed to Census Bureau data which found between 2002 and 2007, women created twice as many businesses as men.
Twice in the speech Romney sought to appeal to women.
"I want to speak to the women of America who have dreams who begin businesses in their homes who begin businesses out in the marketplace who are working in various enterprises and companies, I want you to be successful," Romney said. "Our campaign is about making it easier for entrepreneurs, women and men, to start businesses, to grow businesses we will champion small business because we know that's where our jobs come."
Ryan also shifted his language to include women in his speech.
"We want every American to be able to achieve her potential," Ryan said, using the female pronoun. "That's what we do in America. That's the American idea."
Romney and Ryan have appeared together three times since they parted ways the weekend Ryan was selected.
Initially, the campaign said the pair would not appear together again until the convention. But after recognizing the increase in enthusiasm for both the crowds and the nominee, the campaign has increased the number of dual appearances.
After Romney caused an uproar on Friday when he joked about his birth certificate at a rally, which he later claimed was not a swipe at President Obama, he stuck to the message on Saturday.
He expanded on his remarks about big business not needing help from the government. On Thursday at a fundraising event, Romney said big business has the benefit of "tax havens" that small businesses do not.
"Big businesses are able to accommodate in some cases all the regulations that get thrown on them because they have all the lawyers," Romney said. "They can even sometimes handle the big tax rate – highest taxes in the world on corporations here because they have businesses all over the world. Big companies like GE as you saw, pay no tax, a year or two ago. That's because of all the operations they have round the world."
He spoke more at length than usual about "dreamers," a theme that he hasn't spoken of at length on the campaign trail.
"This is a nation that celebrates individual initiative – people seeking greatness, people who have dreams," Romney said. Look around the world. It's here with the dreamers come. Not a lot of dreamers in North Korea, are they – the dreams they have there are just getting out. Not a lot of dreamers in Cuba – they wish they could come here with relatives in this country."

Steelers OT Kelvin Beachum vs. Ravens OLBs Terrell Suggs and Paul Kruger
Rookie Mike Adams was starting at right tackle but now it appears he is out and rookie Kelvin Beachum will start at right tackle. He'll have to get plenty of help on the right side and the Ravens will flip flop Kruger, right, and Suggs, left, around throughout the game to take advantage of their match ups against Beachum, who is the weak link of the Steelers offensive line. Edge: Ravens.

When we buy new heels, we already know the repercussions that come along with the purchase. We know the pitch will be steep. We know the heels are probably two inches too high. Most importantly, we know our feet are going to be in pain the next day. Killer heels are often killer in more than one way, and I knew all of that when I bought my pair of Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps.
You may grin and bear it because you love your shoes, but the next day you curse yourself and your sartorial choices. After wearing my So Kates for the first time, the first thing I did as soon as I got home was slip my feet into a fuzzy pair of slippers. Over that weekend, I read an article from The Coveteur that explained the importance of after-care when you wear your highest heels and the various exercises to alleviate the pain to both your calves and feet.
After reading, I realized that when I wear heels, I don't do any of the things the article suggests, which included calf stretches and rubbing the arches of my feet with a frozen water bottle. I simply slip my feet into slippers and comfy shoes for a day or so until I feel like I've recovered, and then my feet go back into heels the next weekend. This was my wake-up call to start taking care of my feet after a night out in my Louboutins, and we want to know how you recover when you wear those killer heels.

There's a different air surrounding this week's primetime showdown with No. 8 Missouri, the Rebels' first top-10 test since a 27-24 win over then-No. 6 LSU back on Oct. 19.
"It's a huge week for us," junior quarterback Bo Wallace said. "We get to see how good we are. We had some games that we felt like we didn't play as well in that we could have been in, but this is our redemption game that we can go back and see how good we are."
"In the weight room yesterday, it was crazy," junior linebacker Serderius Bryant said. "No one was talking or doing anything. We're telling each other this a game that no one should have to get you amped for. You should be motivated and feel that urge to do what you can do.
The Rebels (7-3, 3-3 SEC) have won four straight, having eclipsed 500 total offense yards in each of the four games, including a school-record 751 against Troy this past Saturday. They also re-entered the BCS and Associated Press polls at No. 24.
The Tigers (9-1, 5-1 SEC) rank in the top three in the SEC and top 20 in the nation in both scoring offense (41.3 points per game) and scoring defense (20.2). Other than their loss to South Carolina, none of their wins have been decided by less than 15 points.
"I don't know that having to win the game will answer the question, 'Are you really a top-25 team?'" Freeze said. "But if we go out, compete and have a chance to win it, that's what we're asking for right now out of our kids in Year Two.
"Let's go find out where we stand and how we match up with the elite in the nation right. Hopefully, we'll be in it at the end and see. With the schedule we have played, looking back on it, we have had our share of tests, and this will be another one Saturday night."
When asked about keys to the matchup, Freeze mentioned two specifically: running the ball effectively and eliminating explosive plays in the passing game.
"We're pretty good when we can run it and mix in the play-action pass and the stuff we like to do off our run game," Freeze said. "When we're not running it -- you look at the Alabama and Auburn games -- we're not the same team.
"(Cornerbacks coach) Jason Jones put together a reel of their explosive receivers play, and it's quite impressive, so we have a tall task there. If we can eliminate those and are able run the ball the ball effectively, that will go a long way in helping us be in this game.
The Challenge On Defense
Senior James Franklin is listed as the starter at quarterback for the Tigers this week, having missed the last four games since suffering a shoulder injury against Georgia on Oct. 12.
Franklin averages 225.3 passing yards per game and has thrown for 14 touchdowns with just three interceptions. His backup, redshirt freshman Maty Mauk, averages 95.1 passing yards per game and 10 touchdowns with just two interceptions.
"There's not much difference in the two quarterbacks, so that's the good thing," Freeze said. "They are going to be who they are. They have done the exact same things with their second guy that they do with their first guy, so it's not like you're preparing for two different schemes. They have confidence in both of them and have good reason to."
The Tigers also have a talented group of receivers, led by sophomore Dorial Green-Beckham and senior L'Damian Washington who each have 500-plus receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Each of their four starting receivers are listed at 6-foot-2 or taller, with Green-Beckham at 6-foot-6 and Washington at 6-foot-4.
Ole Miss junior cornerback Senquez Golson compared it to playing against three or four Mike Evans from Texas A&M. Both he and sophomore cornerback Mike Hilton said it's about playing physical with the tall, speedy receivers from Missouri.
"That's a physics problem that we can't solve," said Freeze of their height. "It's a concern for sure because there are times where their guys are more able to make a play on the ball than some defensive backs they have faced. That is a great concern and something that we have to try to figure out what the best answers are when those cases arise."
The Challenge On Offense
One of the keys to the game, Freeze said, is Missouri's ability to stop the run. The Tigers rank second in the league and 14th nationally in rushing defense (111.9 ypg). In earlier losses to Alabama and Auburn, Ole Miss rushed for 46 and 124 yards, respectively.
In recent games, the Rebels have run the ball better, including a season-high 382 yards against Troy, and Freeze credited the offensive line progressing and being more multiple, while senior offensive linemen Pierce Burton and Emmanuel McCray credited continuity and working better with double teams.
"Very few people have been able to line up and just run the ball effectively on them to keep you off balance, and then they get you one-dimension and those ends are quick and cause trouble in the backfield for you," Freeze said. "We have to try to find a way to run the ball effective enough so that we can be who we are and want to be and keep them thinking we're balanced, which we have been as of late."
Missouri also does a great job of generating pressure and forcing turnovers, and it starts with their defensive line.
The Tigers lead the league in sacks and rank third nationally with 34 sacks, as well as lead the league and rank seventh nationally with 17 interceptions. It's a great challenge for junior quarterback Bo Wallace, who after throwing 17 interceptions last year, has only been picked off five times through 10 games this season.
"Sometimes the pressure is causing some of it, but they do a great job also of mixing up their coverages and causing you to want to be greedy," Freeze said. "If you're not patient against them, because they're going to make you go 8, 10, 12-play drives to get points and they're very good in the red zone. In most of their games, they're ahead and forcing you to throw a lot, and they're stopping the run, so the sacks are coming because when they get you in a position where they know you have to throw, their guys are very good at that."
"I have to be sharp every week, no matter who we play," Wallace said. "We play in probably the best conference in America. Every week, we're going to play against guys who can go get the ball and great defensive backs. There are great defenses in this league, so it's the same every week."
Their defensive line is led by a talented duo at the ends. Senior Michael Sam leads the league and ranks sixth nationally with 10 sacks and also leads the league and ranks fifth nationally with 16 tackles for loss. On the other side, junior Kony Ealy, ranks fourth in the SEC with 6.5 sacks and leads the team with 13 quarterback hurries.
"They do a lot of movement, so it will be a unique challenge for us," Burton said. "It's not just like I'm watching a defensive end every time. The defensive end is going to be slanting. They're doing run-game twists on first down. We haven't seen that all year except for SEMO. That's a really unique thing to see."
"They are very talented," McCray said. "They are slated as one of the best in the SEC. They play pretty hard and all have pretty good motors. It's not just about outstanding ability, they all play as a good unit."

November 3, 2007
There would be no sharing this time.
Wabash College's Little Giants dominated Denison, 42-0, to win an outright NCAC championship and improve to 9-0 heading into next week's Monon Bell Classic. See photos from the Little Giants' victory by clicking here, here, and here.
The conference title is the third straight for Wabash, but sharing the title last year with Wittenberg was enough motivation to turn Saturday into a statement game.
"We wanted to send a statement going into the Bell Game and prove we're taking it one week at a time and not looking forward to the Bell," said senior defensive end Wes Anderson "We wanted to close out the NCAC season with a statement."
The defense made the biggest statement on Senior Day limiting the Big Red to 41 yards rushing. Denison entered the NCAC contest averaging just over 200 yards a game rushing.
"Our defensive coaches really worked hard this week on competing on third down," Coach Chris Creighton said. "They made that a point of emphasis and our guys responded to that and really had fun."
All that fun added up to startling statistics. Denison managed just 102 yards passing for a measly 143 yards of total offense. The Little Giants recorded 10 tackles for loss and six quarterback sacks.
The day's heroes started on defense and were led, as usual, by All-American Adi Pynenberg. The senior linebacker had 12 tackles, two sacks, with 3.5 of those tackles being for a loss. He passed Jim "Killer" Kilbane as the all-time leader in stops at 400 and kept right on rolling to finish the game at 407.
Senior defensive end Darryl Kennon had a team-high three sacks and a number of quarterback pressures. Underclassmen Chad Peterman and Bryan Watson added eight and seven tackles, respectively. Peterson had an interception and tackle for loss.
Not to be out-done by the defense, senior Mike Russell caught a career-high 11 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Senior receivers Bart Banach and Ray Green each had a touchdown catch in the first half as well. Wabash put up 480 yards of total offense in the game.
All of that offense isn't possible without solid blocking, a concern at the start of the year when injuries struck the line. Much of the leadership responsibility fell on the broad shoulders of 6-7, 274-pound senior Brian Hilts.
"Being the only senior lineman, I had to dig deep and act more as a leader," Hilts acknowledged. "I obviously had the most experience of all the guys. I've been here several times. I just had to step up and be more vocal and lead the guys in every aspect whether it's in the classroom, on the field, or in middle of a big game. I've got to keep them under control, keep myself under control.
"I'm usually kind of quiet and laid back but I had to take a step up and be a little move vocal. The young guys have stepped up and shown their leadership too. They've really pushed me and pushed each other."
It was particularly rewarding for Creighton to see so many seniors excel on their special day.
"We do some things really special on senior day with senior introductions, a senior dinner last night, and in locker room before game," Creighton said. "It's an intimate deal. I think there was a lot of emotion out here. And I think they had a lot of fun."
The Little Giants are on a fun streak. They are 9-0 and NCAC champs with a playoff spot sewn up. They claimed a 7-0 mark for the third time in seven years of NCAC play. Additionally, Wabash is now 45-9 in conference games over the same period. They've won 13 straight going back to last season.
"The hallmark of our program is the commitment to being the best we can be and being a family," Creighton said. "Those are two of the biggest things about our program and when that leads to a championship, it just makes it all the better."
Matt Hudson continued to show he's getting better and better each week. The sophomore quarterback threw for 303 yards on 21-of-25 passes and four touchdowns before turning things over to Kyle Augustinovicz early in the fourth quarter.
Wabash rushed for 130 yards on the day with Brock Graham and Evan Sobecki scoring on short runs. C.P. Porter paced the rushing attack with 78 yards on 10 carries.
Wabash now prepares for the 114th Monon Bell game. The Little Giants travel to DePauw Saturday for a 1:05 kickoff. The game is officially a sell-out.

Actress Melissa McCarthy has brushed off cruel comments from a movie critic about her weight by refusing to let others sour her mood.
While reviewing her comedy "Identity Thief" in February, Rex Reed of the New York Observer called the "Bridesmaids" star "tractor-sized" and "a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with equal success."
Curvy McCarthy never released a statement about the scathing piece, which caused many of her pals to jump to her defense, and now the 42-year-old has broken her silence on Reed's review during an interview with The New York Times.
When asked about her initial reaction to the article, she said, "'Really? Why would someone (an editor) O.K. that?'"
But McCarthy insists she is not bothered by his words, even though they "may have crushed" her when she was younger.
She added, "I felt really bad for someone who is swimming in so much hate. I just thought, that's someone who's in a really bad spot, and I am in such a happy spot. I laugh my head off every day with my husband and my kids who are mooning me and singing me songs."
This is the latest drama surrounding McCarthy's weight – fans in the U.K. were recently outraged after film chiefs behind her upcoming movie The Heat appeared to digitally slim down the actress in a promotional poster for the comedy.

Monster Energy Sued in Death of 14-Year-Old Girl
By Daniel J. DeNoon
WebMD Health News
Latest Heart News
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Oct. 23, 2012 -- The FDA is investigating reports of five deaths and a nonfatal heart attack in people who drank high-caffeine energy drinks made by the Monster Energy Company.
Meanwhile, a Maryland couple has filed a wrongful death suit against the company, alleging that their product killed their 14-year-old daughter. They say Anais Fournier, 14, collapsed after drinking her second 24-ounce Monster Energy drink in two days. She died six days later.
The reports are not proof that the drinks caused the deaths, but merely signal there might be a problem. Even if the deaths are determined to be caused by caffeine poisoning, the FDA will consider all sources of caffeine before blaming the deaths on the energy drink.
In addition to caffeine, energy drinks contain other stimulants, including taurine and guarana, a caffeine-containing plant.
Because energy drinks are sold as nutritional supplements, they are not regulated as foods. This means they may exceed the FDA-mandated limit of 71 milligrams of caffeine for a 12-ounce soda.
"FDA continues to evaluate the emerging science on a variety of ingredients, including caffeine," FDA spokeswoman Shelly Burgess said in an email.
The reports aren't the first health warnings about energy drinks. Last year, the U.S. Drug Abuse Warning Network reported a tenfold spike in emergency-room visits involving energy drinks. In some 70% of cases involving teens ages 12 to 17, the energy-drink itself -- not drugs or alcohol -- was the main reason for going to the ER.
Last year, researchers at the University of Miami reviewed the health effects of energy drinks on children, teens, and young adults.
Writing in the journal Pediatrics, they concluded that "energy drinks have no therapeutic benefit" and that "these drinks may put some children at risk for serious adverse health effects."
These "health effects" include irregular heart rhythms and, in children who may have hidden heart risks, sudden death.
Monster Energy Sued Over Death of Teen
In their lawsuit, Fournier's parents report that their daughter bought and drank a 24-ounce can of Monster Energy at a local candy store. The next day, she bought another one and drank it, too.
A few hours later, Anais Fournier's heart stopped. An ambulance took her to the hospital. She was put into an induced coma in an effort to keep her brain alive. But six days later -- on Christmas Eve 2011 -- she died.
The lawsuit notes that Monster Energy does not list the amount of caffeine in Monster Energy. It estimates that each of the two cans the girl drank contained 240 mg of caffeine. Recommended teen and child doses of caffeine should not exceed 100 mg per day; adults should have no more than 400 mg per day.
The lawsuit claims Monster Energy is a dangerous product, that its maker failed to warn consumers of any risk, and that the company is negligent in marketing the product to teens and young adults.
Monster Energy Company did not respond to a request for an interview or statement regarding the death reports or the lawsuit.
The American Beverage Association, the trade group that represents the soft drink industry, notes that Monster Energy has never been an ABA member.
However, the group notes that energy drinks' "ingredients and labeling comply with all U.S. FDA requirements."
The ABA and its members have developed voluntary guidelines for labeling and marketing energy drinks. The guidelines say ABA members that make energy drinks should:
- Identify on their labels the amount of caffeine from all sources in the beverage.
- Not promote mixing energy drinks with alcohol or claim that energy drinks counteract the effects of alcohol.
- Advise on their labels that energy drinks are not intended or recommended for children, pregnant or nursing women, or others sensitive to the effects of caffeine.
- Not market energy drinks as sports drinks.
- Not market or sell energy drinks in elementary, middle, or high schools.
- Not market energy drinks to children.

1796, commissioned of the maker by Manuel de Godoy, Prime Minister of Spain, 1792-1808. It is uncertain if he presented it as a gift to Queen Maria Luisa. The piano's whereabouts between 1808, when Godoy, Maria Luisa, and Carlos IV were deposed, and when it surfaced in Paris are uncertain. There is speculation that it came into the possession of Fernando VII, who was restored to the Spanish throne in 1814. Before 1912, sold by source unidentified, Paris, France (where the object's whereabouts can next be substantiated), to Robert William Hudson, London, England; June 1920, sold by Hudson through Frank Partridge (dealer) to William Hesketh Lever, a.k.a. the first Viscount of Leverhulme, London, England; February 1926, sold at auction of the Viscount Leverhulme Collection to George Cluett, New York; before 1979, by inheritance to his daughter, Florence Cluett Chambers, Sea Island, Georgia; by 1979, loaned by Cluett Chambers to Historic Deerfield, Inc., Deerfield, Massachusetts; 1985, gift of Cluett Chambers to the MFA.

N.M. Teachers Accept "Supercomputing Challenge", June 22, 2001
SOCORRO, N.M., June 21, 2001 -- Several high school and middle school teachers from around New Mexico have accepted the "supercomputing challenge" and are now busy developing their computational science skills at a two-week-long instructional workshop on supercomputing, currently being held at New Mexico Tech.
More than 20 teachers are attending the 2001 Summer Teacher Institute (STI), which is held each summer in support of the annual New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge for high school and middle school students.
This year's STI is sponsored in large part by New Mexico Tech, NASA Ames Research Center, and Tennessee State University. Other sponsors include New Mexico Technet, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Compaq, Siemans, and the Mexican American Engineering Society (MAES).
By attending a variety of classes covering core components of computational science, such as project development, programming, mathematical modeling, and Internet resources, STI participants learn how to sponsor a New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge team and how to help other students involved with computational science projects at their respective schools.
During the two-week program, participants also are tasked with creating and formally presenting their own supercomputing project before a panel of judges.
After successfully completing the summer workshop on supercomputing, participating teachers are eligible to receive three graduate credits through New Mexico Tech's Master of Science Teaching program.
For more information about the STI or the New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge, visit the organization's website at www.challenge.nm.org.

Fails and Flops
Summer is coming, which means pool parties. Which means belly flops.
Who doesn't love a good belly flop? It creates a gigantically enormous splash you can see for miles, and how about that sound? That ever-so-distinct sound of huge stretches of human skin smacking into water at pace. It's marvelous. Even the belly flopper—once he gets past the searing pain and bright red skin—gets to revel in being the life of the party. Until someone yells "CANNONBALL!"
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.

Several events converged to result in the return of THE GRIND to WCBN.
The late-night DJ who followed the one-hour metal show "Odin's Dance Party" vanished in mid-December, necessitating either his replacement or the extension of the one-hour metal slot to three. It was too late to bother adding a new DJ- the schedule change was only a couple weeks away- so we opted for a longer metal show.
Brandok and I covered the first of these three-hour bonanzas and had ourselves a ball. I then polled WCBN staff to see if there was enough DJ interest in doing three-hour metal shows for a whole semester. There was, with the added comments that some of them also wanted to play punk, hardcore, and other loud music. Some of them referenced a long-gone show called THE GRIND, which was such a show. So without further ado...
I recently sent the following announcement to the staff of WCBN:
Poll results indicate that a 3-hour metal/thrash/hardcore/noise show would be warmly received and hosted by enough of you for me to go ahead and make it so.
Some of you may remember a show called "The Grind" which aired Friday nights 10pm-midnight. It started as a metal/thrash/hardcore/noise show that eventually morphed into pretty straight gore-death metal type stuff (just search the old playlists and you'll see.)
So, the Odin's Dance Party name will be retired and we'll be resurrecting THE GRIND.
How you interpret what a metal/thrash/hardcore/noise show would sound like is pretty much up to you; if you're interested in joining a rotation for this show (which will most likely be midnight-3am on Saturday nights/Sunday mornings) please check off Odin's Dance Party on your slotpref.
If you have already turned in your slotpref, email me and Brandok saying you want to join the rotation.
So I'm delighted to announce to you, our listener and sole reader of my blog, that THE GRIND is back and will air Saturday nights midnight-3am with multiple rotating and possibly tag-teaming hosts.
You are so welcome.

Seriously, how lucky is Jessica Alba? The actress has it all: Two adorable kids, a successful acting career, her own company—and a husband that adores her.
How awesome is husband Cash Warren? Jessica recently revealed that she thinks they're "kindred" spirits. Plus, he knows how to treat a lady.
"On a weekend Cash might say, 'Go get your nails done with a girlfriend. Haven is down for a nap and Honor and I will play. I know you work hard," Jess said of her husband's doting ways.
Don't get us wrong: We love gifts that come in little blue boxes, but sometimes it's the smaller gestures that mean more in the long run. We mean, what woman doesn't love it when her guy makes dinner or offers to clean the bathroom? We'll take that over expensive presents ever time.
Well, maybe not every time, but it does mean a lot.
What means more to you: Expensive presents from your guy, or thoughtful gestures?
