To prove a point to his players, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney has already thrown away one preseason magazine hyping the Tigers for the 2013 college season.
Swinney will either have to embrace the preseason love on Sunday at the ACC Kickoff, where the Tigers will likely be picked to win the conference title for the second time in three years, or get a bigger trash can.
There is a point to Swinneys calculated theatrics. Preseason perception is not always reality, and hype does not win football games.
It doesnt work that way, Swinney said last week. You have to grind and have that blue-collar work ethic every single day.
Theres a reason for all of the optimism though. Clemson, which went 11-2 a year ago and closed the season with a bowl win over SEC power LSU, returns All-ACC quarterback Tajh Boyd and offensive coordinator Chad Morris.
Swinney, who has gone 21-6 since hiring Morris, could have lost either: Boyd to the NFL or Morris to another school (he talked with N.C. State before the Wolfpack hired Dave Doeren).
The Tigers worked over the ACCs weary defensive units last season, putting up 542.5 yards and 46.5 points per conference game.
Not that Swinneys team wont be challenged. The Tigers have one of the toughest schedules in the country, with an opening date against Georgia and the annual closing grudge match with South Carolina. Both SEC teams will likely open the season ranked nationally in the top 10. Clemson, which went 7-1 in the ACC last season, also has a home date with Florida State in October.
The schedule, and some questions on defense, are the main reasons Swinney has done his best to pump the brakes on the summer buildup. Not that hes unwilling to talk about the Tigers success, just not yet.
Lets talk about it in November, Swinney said.
But its July and the first game of the season, North Carolina at South Carolina, is 39 days away. Three ACC questions to mull while we wait:
1. Who will challenge Clemson in the ACC?
Florida State owned the ACC last season, winning coach Jimbo Fisher his first conference title and the Seminoles first since 2005.
Then the Noles had an ACC-record 11 players taken in the NFL draft in April, including five of the first 42 picks.
Theres no need to pass the hat for Jimbo the talent still flows in Tallahassee, but is there enough to topple Clemson?
The Atlantic Division title will probably come down to FSUs visit to Clemson on Oct. 19. The Seminoles, with 380 passing yards and 102 rushing yards from quarterback E.J. Manuel, beat Clemson 49-37 last season. Seven starters from defense and Manuel, now in the NFL, will be replaced by redshirt freshman Jameis Winston.
The odds are against another Atlantic Division team knocking off either Clemson or FSU during the regular season as N.C. State did a year ago.
The Wolfpack, while in transition with a new coach (Doeren), wont be much different than Maryland, Boston College, Wake Forest or Syracuse in the quest for third place in the division.
2. Wait, wheres Louisville?
The Cardinals, 11-2 a year ago and Sugar Bowl champions (at Floridas expense), arent in the ACC yet. Heisman hopeful quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and coach Charlie Strongs team will compete in the American Athletic Conference this season and then join the ACC in 2014 (replacing Maryland, which is leaving for the Big Ten).
Notre Dames football relationship with the ACC, five games per year, also begins in 2014. In the meantime, Syracuse and Pittsburgh are here. Will anyone notice?
Both the Orange (8-5 in 2012) and Panthers (6-7) went bowling last season in their Big East finales and both programs have strong histories but neither is going to move the national needle.
The latest ACC expansion will help basketball, significantly, but the effects in football will not be as dramatic (although their additions did lead the ACC to a deal with a bowl game in Yankee Stadium).
Both teams will add to the conferences healthy, and underrated competitive middle, but neither will challenge the elite.
The ACC was also kind enough to line up Florida State, on Labor Day, for Pitts first conference game and Clemson, on Oct. 5 in upstate New York, for the Orange.
Notre Dame, which lost in the BCS title game last season, does face one ACC foe this season. The Irish travel to Pitt on Nov. 9 in a rematch of one of the most memorable games from last season.
3. Can UNC win the Coastal Division again?
The ACC says it didnt happen but UNCs 5-3 league finish in 2012 (same as Miami and Georgia Tech), along with league tiebreakers, would have made the Tar Heels the Coastal Division representative in the ACC title game had UNC been eligible for the postseason.
Eligibility is not a problem this season. The NCAAs postseason punishment for UNC for transgressions under former coach Butch Davis are complete. That means second-year coach Larry Fedora can print T-shirts and issue rings with ACC approval if the Heels win the division again.
The Tar Heels, 8-4 in Fedoras debut season, will have one of the best quarterbacks in the conference in senior Bryn Renner and two of the best targets in tight end Eric Ebron and receiver Quinshad Davis.
The offense will be strong, even without running back Gio Bernard and with a makeover on the line, but theres the matter of defensive improvement after losing the units two best players from 2012 (linebacker Kevin Reddick and defensive tackle Sylvester Williams).
The schedule also sends the Heels to Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. UNC wasnt very good on the road last season (it lost winnable games at Wake Forest and Duke), which could mean the difference in a tight Coastal race with the Techs and Miami.

Charitable U: Zane Beadles donates $750K to football programPosted Jul 28th - 3:32pm by Robert Jackson

Utah football: Defense holds upper hand in scrimmagePosted Apr 12th - 2:29pm by Utah Athletics
SALT LAKE CITY — Other than a showcase of speed by running back Troy McCormick and receiver Dres Anderson, the defense held the upper hand in Saturday's scrimmage.
A crowd of several thousand basking in the sun enjoyed several big plays, including a 60-yard touchdown run by the speedy McCormick, a 44-yard touchdown pass from Travis Wilson to Dres Anderson and a 29-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Hipolito Corporan.
Offense starting to click for Utes in week two of Camp KylePosted Mar 26th - 11:40am by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — Tuesday marked the beginning of week two of Utah's spring football practices, and while the week prior was dominated by the defense, it was the offense that made some strides — especially in the passing game.
All quarterbacks looked sharper on day four of Camp Kyle, which also marked the first day of full contact this spring for the Utes. Execution, mechanics and pocket presence all were improved as the offense finally got in a rhythm after being seemingly stagnant through the first few days.
Six players are taking reps at quarterback this spring with two more entering the program this fall. Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham thinks the competition level and overall depth is a good thing for the program.

There were plenty of new faces at the Spence and Cleone Eccles Football Center as the Utes kicked off their first spring practice of 2014 Tuesday afternoon — both new incoming recruits and new offensive staff hires. But it was one familiar face that drew the most attention.

Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham announced via Twitter that Kendal Thompson, a redshirt sophomore quarterback from the University of Oklahoma, will be transferring to the Utes after he graduates in May.
"We would like to officially welcome @Thurm405 to the Utah Football Family!" Whittingham (@UtahCoachWhitt) tweeted.
Brian Johnson leaving Utes to take job with Mississippi StatePosted Feb 10th - 3:10pm by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — Only one word comes to mind when you think of Utah's offense over the past several years — inconsistent, not only for the on-field results, but the people on the sidelines wearing the headsets as well.
As the Utes prepare with yet another offensive coordinator for their upcoming 2014 campaign, they will be doing so without someone who has been in the Utah program all but one season since 2004.
Reports indicated late last week that Utah quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson will be leaving the Utes to take his coaching talents to Mississippi State.
Utah football releases 2014 schedulePosted Jan 8th - 2:14pm by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — The 2013 college football season just ended with the national championship game last Monday, but fans are already optimistically looking forward to what 2014 might bring for their favorite team.
Winter workouts are already underway for most teams, with spring football practices right around the corner.
How will the Utes fare in 2014? Only time will tell, but even the most optimistic fan has to be a little concerned when looking at the 2014 football schedule released Wednesday afternoon.
Travis Wilson sidelined with season-ending pre-existing conditionPosted Nov 18th - 11:08pm by Josh Furlong and Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah starting quarterback Travis Wilson will miss the remainder of the season after doctors discovered a season-ending pre-existing health condition.
Wilson missed Saturday's game against Oregon after sustaining a concussion during the Arizona State game. Wilson had tests performed last week where doctors said he would miss the season after discovering a pre-existing condition.
"Through the concussion diagnosis process a preexisting problem was discovered," Whittingham said. "They proceeded to give him an angiogram to take a closer look. At that point they discovered there was a preexisting problem that needed to be addressed and continue to be monitored."
10 things to know about Utah vs. Arizona StatePosted Nov 8th - 11:36am by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — Arizona State hasn't been kind to the University of Utah on the football field.
In two meetings since joining the Pac-12 conference, Utah has lost to the Sun Devils by an average score of 36-10.
But last night's Stanford win over Oregon raises some valid questions — just how good is Stanford? And just how good is Utah for beating them?

Utes seek answers to offensive woes during bye weekPosted Oct 28th - 4:35pm by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — After two disappointing outings, it may seem like Utah's big 27-21 win over the then No. 5 Stanford Cardinal was seasons ago, not just a few weeks.
UTEcast 10-26: Reaction to Utes' 19-3 loss to USC

SALT LAKE CITY — Basketball season is officially underway now up on the hill as the Utes had their annual night with the Runnin' Utes and the Red-White game.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utes face another tough test this week as they look to put a disappointing loss to Arizona behind them, heading south to USC to take on the storied Trojan football program.
The last two weeks couldn't have been more of a roller coaster for the Utes, defeating the then No. 5 Stanford Cardinal two weeks ago, only to fall the next week to Arizona.
"We got off to a slow start in our game against Arizona, and although we played much better in the second half, it wasn't enough to pull out the victory," Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said. "We are facing one of the most storied programs in the country this Saturday in USC and we fully anticipate that our players will bounce back and be ready to play the full 60 minutes vs. the Trojans."

They are hunting us.
In this sweeping, threaded narrative of the global phenomenon known as the Vampire Wars, mankind is unwittingly infected by a millennia-old bacteria unknowingly exhumed by a scientific expedition in Antarctica. Now, in some rare cases, a person's so-called junk DNA becomes activated. Depending on their racial and ethnic heritage, they begin to manifest one of the many diverse forms of the "others" that are the true basis for the legends of supernatural creatures. These aren't your usual vampires and werewolves - it goes much deeper than that.
Conceived by Jonathan Maberry, V Wars features stories from various frontlines as reported by such contributors as Nancy Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore, Gregory Frost, John Everson, Keith R. A. DeCandido, and Scott Nicholson - as well as Maberry himself, of course. The result is a compelling series of tales that creates a unique chronicle of mankind's response to this sudden, hidden threat to humanity.

"Fun listen ..."
I really enjoyed V Wars. An enjoyable listen with a good collection of stories woven together over multiple chapters. If you have ever listened to the Wild Card books it is similar to that. It is very different to World War Z, which is told as a series of recollections from survivors. This is told much more as a narrative. I was expecting the former but ended up enjoying the latter.
"A Ringside Seat for the Vampire Wars"
I was hesitant to buy this book based on the tepid reviews I'd read. When I finally did listen to it, I wondered what took me so long. I really enjoyed this book, and the varying takes on modern vampires.
This book is skillfully rendered, and despite the many voices and authors, manages to remain thematically consistent throughout. V Wars avoids the typical "good-guy/bad-guy" dynamic, and raises a number of thought-provoking issues.
What I liked about this book was what I found lacking in books like World War Z--character. This book is first and foremost about people surviving in a difficult time, not about monsters. One of the best genre books I've read in some time. Give it a try.
I grew up on Golden Age Radio, and while I love to read, I typically consume more books via audio thanks to a job that lets me listen while I work. As an aspiring writer, I try to read a great deal of non-fiction in addition to a variety of fictional genres. I especially love history, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and old-style gothic horror.
"Where is the War?"
The concept for this is pretty cool, and that's what got me to check it out. Basically, this is a set of short stories / novellas, that are loosely connected in that they involve a Patient Zero that sets off a virus turning people into vampires. Typically I prefer the Dracula type gothic horror vampire, but this seemed to me for some reason to be more along the lines of 30 Days of Night modern version. That was my perception going in. Either way, they don't sparkle, so I figured it could be fun. Also assumed that as an anthology of sorts, some stories would be better than others. Such is the case here.
There is some excellent character development throughout, and some of it is actually worth it. As to the so-called V-Wars... it's mostly build-up and not enough carnage. To be fair, it reads almost realistically in places, like this could happen this way, and there are plenty of social ramifications explored. Other parts, some characters are way too accepting of the changes rather than panicking, and plenty of explanations are left simply to "we don't know why it happens this way, it just does." At a couple of points, I was left wondering if this was still a story about vampire wars. The whole book isn't disappointing, just large chunks of it. But there was enough to feed my imagination in places that I felt it was generally worth it overall, in small doses. Had this been a single-story novel, I probably would declare it a failed attempt, but anthologies tend to be a little more forgiving since each author has their own take on what they want to explore. I just wish they'd focused more on the overall war. In this case, the microcosm of character study didn't reflect the larger picture as a whole. It's there, just not as in-depth as I would have liked.
Audio books are the only way I survive commuting and nursing school!
I could not get past the third story, it was really just horribly disjointed maybe it got better, but I just could not continue, not even the narration pulled me in.
May have gotten better after the three I had listened to, the premise was interesting which is why I had picked it. It just didn't work for me.
"Didn't work for me, might for others."
Though I'm a big fan of the vampire genre, and I really like a number of authors who contributed to this audiobook, and a couple of the narrators as well, I just couldn't get into it. I don't feel like the world ever really came together. There weren't many likable or even approachable characters in my view though others might enjoy it more, it wasn't the quality that was lacking but rather it didn't appeal to me personally.
"Fresh approach to the age-old monster!"
I really liked the approach that the researchers took in trying to find answers to the V Event. Treating it as within the realm of nature, instead of supernatural.
The Strain Trilogy by Guillermo Del Torro. Both deal with widespread vampire outbreaks potentially leading to the extinction of humankind. Humanity is fighting for its survival as civilization falls apart.
There are multiple narrators. All are good, but some are better than others.
Yes, but it would spoil the surprise for anyone who read this review before listening to the stry!
It's a great listen for anyone who likes vampires, and stories of apocalypse.
I am a writer from Toronto. I am 34 and hooked on audio books.
"Interesting Premise"
This is a good book. Not your normal Vampire fair. Worth a credit....but dosen;t not get my stamp as a great book.
"Great stories but not the voice acting"
the voice acting can take awhile to get used to and it's not very good but the story elevates the book to a good rating
"A mixed bag"
As with any collection of stories there is winners and losers. Jonathan Maberrys story and his narrator knock it out the park. Worth buying just for that. Proper scary. That guy has a voice born for horror. Other stories pale in comparison. Not the same quality as World War Z.

Now at four days after the Gauntlet announcement we're absolutely thrilled about the response we've received from fans as well as press. I won't get long-winded this time but leave you with our very first released screenshots of our four heroes taking on a small horde of monsters, and a little sneak peek of an extra bad guy.
Gauntlet: First screenshots
We proudly bring back GAUNTLET!
All the latest news heard about Arrowhead has been of our upcoming game Helldivers with Sony, but today we are thrilled to finally announce our other project together with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
We give you GAUNTLET, our completely modernized take on the much loved classic arcade game originally made by Atari Games.
Gauntlet will be completely remade but retaining many of its familiar features. The game will contain emergent local and online four-player gameplay and is a top down hack-n-slash adventure with the Warrior, Valkyrie, Wizard and Elf exploring the classical fantasy dungeon of many wonders, we've come to love from old school tabletop gaming, movies and paitings. And of course battling an overwhelming horde of monsters.
Our new game: HELLDIVERS!
You may know Arrowhead Game Studios from our previous games like Magicka and today we're excited to announce that we've teamed up with Sony Computer Entertainment and Foster City Studios to create our next game!
So, for all of you out there, both new fans and old, I give you HELLDIVERS. Built for both single-player campaigns and up to four player co-op missions, HELLDIVERS is a topdown shooter set in a satirical and dystopian future where mankind is ruled by a managed democracy.
My title here at Arrowhead is that of "Producer". Basically, one could say my job is keeping track of plans, talking to publishers, making sure commitments we make are delivered upon, and making sure the talented people here at Arrowhead Game Studios are motivated, happy, and badass.
My name is Axel Lindberg and I am going to use this opportunity for intra-web-tacular exposure to share with you, a list of three kick-ass books on the topics of human behavior and leadership…
The perfect scene
You've probably seen hundreds of scenes in movies where the hero, the animal, or the monster does some really advanced manouver and pulls it off perfectly… almost too perfectly…
In some scenes you really see how the director took 80 shots of that scene to get it just right, but if it takes 80 shots to get it right, maybe it shouldn't be just right, maybe the hero should have slipped, or fucked up that jump.
For instance, how often does a person stumble randomly in movies, or hit his head on a lamp or get distracted by something that wasn't of interest to the plot of the movie? Not often… but these things happen all the time in real life.
It gets even more obvious in animated movies, where the chaos factor of our daily movement isn't directed or thought about.
The making of game art
Working as an artist at a game studio often requires more from you than drawing a pretty picture or making sprites in Photoshop once in a while since a lot of games these days are in 3d.
For a lot of people, making 3d objects for games and films is pretty hard to wrap your head around and it is also very hard to explain to people how it works, as Rob wrote in a previous post about Visual effects for games. (So how do you paint smoke?)
With this post, I'm going to try and cover another part of game graphics and hopefully straighten out a few question marks around the modelling of a 3d object.
With a few steps and images, I will show you the making of this car!
Turn it up to 11!
So it's my turn to post something nifty on the blog and as usual the preparations have been perfect. Initially I had an idea of writing something cool about a new tech or a fancy implementation (I'm a programmer after all) but then life happened and time ran short. So I'm going to write a bit about my main hobby interest (besides from hanging around Plattan), which is to make noise in a somewhat rhythmic pattern.
A New Hope
In October last year, me and Peter began having nightmares about the foundation which The Showdown Effect code was written upon. This all started when the authors of it had left the building and the one who could see through all the fog was shot in the crotch by our lead artist and we never saw him again… This gave us massive aneurisms when we began implementing hot join in The Showdown Effect.
During the gaps of rage and despair, we began thinking and discussing ways we would write our own foundation for future projects (assuming that we would still use the Bitsquid engine). We dreamt of structure and rules, nicely ordered messages, separated data and event replication, basically adopting fascism. During evenings and weekends we began hacking away, building our new hope; The Arrowhead Code Foundation.

Def Jam Executive Vice President Shakir Stewart reportedly committed suicide this weekend in his Atlanta home. He was 34. Stewart was tabbed to replace Jay-Z's role at Def Jam after the rapper left after signing a deal with Live Nation. Prior to filling the EVP position, Stewart signed multi-platinum artists like Young Jeezy and Rick Ross. According to reports, Stewart was found in his Atlanta home, a victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. In a statement, Stewart's fiancée Michelle Rivers said "Over the past several weeks, Shakir's behavior was inconsistent with the man we all know and love. As much as we all tried to help him, Shakir was in deep pain and largely suffering in silence." Island Def Jam also issued a statement, saying, "Shakir was an amazing man, in every sense of the word. A truly incredible friend and father who was an inspiration to not only our artists and employees, but to his family and the many people who had the privilege of counting him as a friend. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family at this very difficult time."

Men at Work are an Australian rock band who hit the height of their success in the 1980s. The band was formed in 1978 by Colin Hay, who immigrated to Australia in 1967 from Scotland, and Ron Strykert. The duo added drummer Jerry Speiser and keyboard player Greg Sneddon. The four piece began playing gigs locally without a name and got their first break when they were asked to record some music for the musical stage show, "Riff Raff." Just as the band came up with a name and began to gather a local following, Sneddon left and was replaced by saxophonist/flautist/keyboardist Greg Ham, in addition to bassist John Rees, who completed the band. Men at Work were officially a band. By 1981 the b... Continue Bio >>

Great Product. The badge holder does what it is supposed to do. Would like to see the large pocket be made smaller so tickets, etc could be placed in the smaller pocket.
It was perfect for the application our company needed.
I liked that my sales rep Francis really took the time to help me come up with the perfect image. He really listened to me and worked with me until I had it exactly the way I wanted. When my order originally arrived, the logo was printed in the wrong direction. I sent Francis an email and he called me back within minutes. He worked it all out, was very helpful and immediately sent my product back to production for reprinting. Even though my order wasn't what I wanted originally, I really feel like the problem was handled in a considerate and competent manner and I never felt uncomfortable with any part of the process. I think the true test of a company is how things are handled when they go wrong, not when everything goes right. Francis took charge of the situation and made sure that I got exactly what I wanted. I hope to be contacting him for more orders in the near future. Thank you again
Good quality, good service, good lead time, good all around. We'll be placing another order for these soon.
Good quality and price combined. I was very pleased with the product and whole process.

Government Cuts Thousands of College Work-Study Jobs
End of stimulus funding makes work-study jobs harder to get for college students
Students hoping to earn a little extra cash on campus this fall will have a tougher time as the number of federally funded work-study college jobs nationwide will drop by 162,000 to 768,000 for the 2010-2011 academic year.That's distressing news for students when the unemployment rate for young people continues to top 15 percent, and states have been cutting scholarship budgets, says Lindsay McCluskey, vice president of the United States Student Association. "It is a very serious issue," she says.
[Read 3 Pieces of Good News About Federal College Grants.]
A spokesman for the Department of Education said the number of subsidized campus jobs has simply dropped back to its historical norm after climbing because of a temporary influx of stimulus funding. "The recovery act provided a much-needed boost to work study programs and other federal student aid programs. But significant challenges remain and all of us, both in the home and in the government, are having to do more work with less funding," said department spokesman Justin Hamilton.
A few years ago, at the height of the economic boom, many college financial aid officials complained that campus jobs often went begging as students either didn't need the money or found better-paying jobs elsewhere. But now, financial aid officers around the country say they are swamped with applicants, as more of the nation's 19 million college students are looking for jobs to raise money for tuition.
Students can no longer assume that work-study jobs, which pay an average of about $1,500 an academic year, will be theirs for the asking, says Wilma Hjellum, director of financial aid and veteran services at the Metropolitan Community College of Omaha, Neb. Her college lost funding for 12 work-study positions when stimulus funds lapsed. The school will have work-study jobs for just 72 students this fall. More than 2,200 students asked for work-study jobs, she said.
[Read tips for finding a part-time job.]
Colleges like work-study jobs because the federal government pays up to 75 percent of the wages of needy students hired to help the college or local nonprofits. Most campuses have additional part-time job openings for at least some students who don't snag federally funded work-study jobs.
Aid officials recommend students opt for federally funded work-study jobs whenever possible because earnings from regular jobs can reduce students' eligibility for future need-based financial aid. Federal work-study earnings aren't counted in aid applications.

text: So I know there's a bunch of threads related to upgrading inductors, but I also seem to recall them tending to be sub-threads within other, more general, upgrade threads. After spending the last couple hours digging through the results of a couple of searches, I decided to revert to my default lazy bastich self and just ask; what is the consensus on sourcing replacement/upgraded inductors for various Polks? In my case, I'm interested in inductors for my 2.3 TLs, but it might also be nice to collect this information into a single thread, since it does seem to be so spread out over the forum.

Friends and family held a special vigil for a 45-year-old Wichita teacher who's in the last stages of breast cancer.
Kelli Frazier watched the crowd Saturday at Wesley Medical Center from a wheelchair.
Frazier, a teacher at Pleasant Valley Middle School, was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, but had been in remission until recently. She announced this week that her cancer has spread and she expects to live only a few weeks more.
Dozens of her students packed into a hospital courtyard, where they sang and cried.
Fellow teacher Darcy Busch said Frazier's impact will last because of all the students whose lives she's affected.
Frazier will spend her final days at Wesley, and says she doesn't want a funeral.

LONDON -- Well, I'm at another historic venue: Wembley Stadium, one of the great soccer pitches on the planet. The place is pretty full for the gold-medal match between the U.S. and Japan women. It was supposed to be a sellout, around 83,000, but there are several blocks of empty seats in the stadium. Maybe some of the corporate seats that never found their way to fans.
This is, of course, a rematch of the 2011 World Cup final, which was won by the Japanese in a shootout. The U.S. women are looking to win a third straight Olympic gold medal and fourth in five years. I'm expecting Rochester's Abby Wambach and former Flash star Alex Morgan to find a way. Maybe Hope Solo will play a big role and shoot her mouth off afterwards.
Now, a personal moment of silence for the great Marvin Hamlisch, who died yesterday. Heard him a couple of times in Buffalo and always thought of him as sort of a Buffalo guy.


text: They say: "Inspired by the racing line."We say: "America wants some inspiration, too!" They say: "Inspired by the racing line." We say: "America wants some inspiration, too!" What took so long, and when can I buy one?" That was the overwhelming response to the October 2006 debut of Harley-Davidson's XR1200 prototype, a street-legal tribute to the iconic XR750s that have dominated American dirt-track racing for more than three decades. The XR1200 has finally reached production, complete with Willie G's brilliant, flat track-inspired styling, a surprisingly effective chassis honed by none other than nine-time AMA Grand National Champion Scott Parker and a satisfying powerplant that delivers a claimed 91 horsepower-20 up on the standard XL1200 Sportster. Just one problem: You can only buy the XR1200 in Europe, Africa or the Middle East-American enthusiasts need not apply. How ironic that this American motorcycle, inspired by the most American form of motorcycle racing, isn't available on the American market. This discrepancy reflects shifting realities inside Harley-Davidson. A plunging exchange rate, combined with a significant dip in home-market sales (down 18.1 percent since '06), has made the export market (up 29.9 percent over the same period) more important to Harley than ever before. The result? Bikes developed exclusively for Europe that aren't available in America-at least for the time being. That's too bad, because the XR1200 is an impressive streetbike. As an expression of The Motor Company's confidence, the new machine was introduced on the hardcore racer roads just inland from Spain's Valencia Grand Prix circuit. Riding H-D's Orange Blossom Special through the orange groves in the company of Parker and other hard-riding members of Harley's R&D team demonstrated that the XR delivers the goods. The racy tank looks great, but only carries 3.5 gallons of fuel. Postage-stamp passenger seat appears equally impractical. The racy tank looks great, but only carries 3.5 gallons of fuel. Postage-stamp passenger s Twin Nissin four-piston calipers make this the best-braking bike in the H-D lineup. Minimalist dash consists of just an analog tach with digital speedo/trip computer offset to the left. An oil-temp gauge would be nice on the air-cooled bike. Minimalist dash consists of just an analog tach with digital speedo/trip computer offset t The XR utilizes a more potent version of Harley's iconic Evolution V-twin, rubber-mounted in the standard Sportster frame. The super-Sportster motor still transmits quite a bit of vibration at rest, persisting through the footpegs until 2500 rpm, after which it smoothes out. From there to the hard, 7000-rpm rev limit it's all muscle, delivering a linear build of power with zero driveline snatch to make for a forgiving and easy rider. Low-end vibes are a bit of a pain around town, but in the happy zone between 3000 and 6500 rpm you can't help but feel you belong at the Springfield Mile. The XR is satisfyingly fast and torquey to ride hard, with the well-mapped fuel injection delivering good midrange response and respectable top-end performance, pulling an indicated 200 kph (124 mph) in top gear. A sixth ratio would give it slightly longer legs, but that's not really practical on a naked bike. Back at idle, you'd never guess this is essentially the same engine that's fitted to the rest of the Sportster range. It emits much less mechanical noise than the Nightster, with fewer rattles and a more responsive throttle pickup. And thanks to the XR's exclusive oil-cooling system-necessary to address the higher-spec engine's higher operating temperatures-the engine also looks neater, without so many external oil lines. The XR sounds better than other Sportsters too, thanks to H-D's clever Active Intake System that quiets the motor at (coincidentally, we're sure) the exact same rpm and road speeds that EU noise tests are carried out. This system allows Harley to run a less restrictive setup outside of these parameters, which not only enhances performance but also allows a bike that still sounds great through the twin, stacked, stainless steel 2-1-2 exhaust on the right side of the bike. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | » | View Full Article By Alan Cathcart Enjoyed this Post?

BOSTON -- Saturday's "Futures at Fenway" game against Pawtucket was easily one of the neatest days in the Bisons' four-year run with the New York Mets. It would have been pretty easy for a last-place team that rode busses overnight (Really, International League? Really, Bisons?) to just mail this one in but Wally Backman's club didn't.
(An aside: Pawtucket bussed late-night from Scranton. Shouldn't the IL make sure the teams in the annual Fenway event are at McCoy Stadium on Friday night so this absurd travel doesn't produce bad baseball? But I digress).
The Bisons, believe it or not, are 62-66 and still have an outside shot at a .500 season. At least it's something. You watched Saturday's 2-0 win and wondered what could have been if this team played better defense much of the season. They looked Gold-Gloveish, rare for a club with 119 errors that rank them second-last in the IL.
Great pitching from Collin McHugh, who deserves a few September innings in the big leagues. Relievers Robert Carson and Elvin Ramirez will certainly get some too. I'd like to see some for 30-year-old Fernando Cabrera, who has 21 saves but that seems less unlikely.
Josh Rodriguez was positively giddy about homering over the Green Monster and Matt Tuiasosopo was a fiend with the glove at third.
Good night all around. Let's see how things go tomorrow in Pawtucket -- and then Monday at home against Scranton after this team turns around and makes the long trip back to Buffalo.
Here's the audio of postgame interviews with Backman and several players.

text: Hey guys, I recently bought some demo model r50es from fryes. I know there not the greatest but i am loving the polk sound and have no regrets. Anyway As them being demo models, I guess they threw away the carpet spikes that came with them and I am using them on carpet. Where could I get some replacements? Can I buy them straight from polk? thanks guys!
