Florida State Seminoles Football News: Regular Season and Preseason Updates
See more NCAA Football tickets.
4/24/14: Seminoles' head coach Jimbo Fisher was fortunate enough to learn from two the greats in the college game: Bobby Bowden (FSU) and Nick Saban (at LSU). He is generally considered to be cut from the Saban cloth, but there is one notable distinction. Whereas Saban seems to disregard his past successes and only focuses on 'what's next'. Fisher wants his team to enjoy the success they earned with last season's national championship. Fisher believes that they did not enjoy their championship at LSU as much as they should have, so he wants his players to bask in the glory from last season. Of course, only to an extent.
4/17/14: Florida State held their annual Garnet and Gold Spring Football Game last Saturday, and who else would be the star other than the best college football player in the country? Jamies Winston continued his brilliance with a monster game, throwing for 396 yards and two touchdowns. Winston and the first team offense led the Garnet team, while Mario Edwards Jr. and the first team defense led the Gold team. Garnet won 31-14. It is still early, but Noles fans remember that this game, one year ago, was Winston's introduction to college football, which ended with a Heisman Trophy and the National Championship.
4/10/14: Florida State leaked out an updated version of their iconic Seminole logo this past week, which was met with less than enthusiastic responses. The new logo no longer features the words "Florida State", but instead uses "FSU". The features of the man's face and hair have changed, and the warpaint is no longer black, but rather garnet and gold - the official school colors. It is not a major re-design, but an updating of the original logo, which has been in tact since it debuted in 1971. The reason for the change is somewhat confusing, but National Champions have their prerogative. Now the question is if the school will have to put the new logos in the newly completed locker room, or if they are already installed.
4/3/14: It is well-known that FSU's Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, Jameis Winston, is also a releif pitcher for the Seminoles' baseball team. Like their football counterpart, the Noles' nine is ranked #1 in the country as well. Word got out last week that the Seminoles and Gators baseball squads got into a brawl. That is not really the case. Both benches emptied but no punches were thrown. Winston rushed out with his teammates but there was no real fight. He did sign the hat of a Gators fan, and wrote 37-7 on it. That was the score of the FSU/UF football game last fall.
3/20/14: When you win the National Championship, you get new opportunities. Such is the case with the Florida State Seminoles. FSU announce a major renovation of training facilities which include 'state of the art graphics and technology". Last year, both Alabama and Oregon announced major upgrades to their training facilities which resemble more of a luxury lifestyle than the practice areas of a football program. FSU's new facility will pay homage to the great tradition of Florida State football, including their championship seasons of 1993, 1999, and 2013. It may not win championships, but certainly will get the interest of prized recruits.
3/27/14: Florida State University has a bona-fide star on their hands with Jameis Winston. Winston, of course, won the Heisman Trophy last season while leading the Seminoles to an undefeated record and the national championship. Every time a Nole wins the Heisman, the team wins the national championship game - Charlie Ward in the 1993 season and Chris Wienke in the 199 season. Winston is also the closer for the Seminoles baseball team, which is among the best in the NCAA. And they are not interfering, as Winston missed only one spring football practice due to the baseball schedule.
3/13/14: One of the knocks against Florida State (and there are very few) is that they play in the ACC. No one doubts that other conferences - particularly the SEC and Pac 12 are stronger from top to bottom. By definition, the Seminoles have a relatively easier path to the NCAA Championship than teams from tougher conferences. However, looking at the schedules for 2014 shows the Noles have a tough stretch. One review shows FSU with the eighth toughest schedule among title contenders. In fact, they have Oklahoma State, Clemson, Notre Dame, and Louisville on the schedule next season, so they will have a tougher road than this past season when they won the Championship.
2/20/14: The Seminoles still have a shot at five star recruit Malik McDowell, apparently. McDowell's parents never wanted him to stay in-state and attend Michigan State University. So while McDowell sent in his letter of intent to the Spartans, it is not valid because his custodial parent (mother in this case) never signed it. So that leaves both Ohio State and Florida State as the remaining options. Malik is a five-star defensive lineman, and the Noles have put forth a few good ones into the pros over the past few years. He is expected to visit Tallahassee in the near future.
3/6/14: Former Seminoles head coach and legend Bobby Bowden used to say that he wants it noted on his tombstone that he always played Florida. That tradition will continue as FSU and the University of Florida have agreed upon an extension to keep the classic state of Florida game going through 2018. Overall, the Gators lead the series (dating back to 1959) 34-22-2. The Noles have won four of the last five. And that overall record includes FSU's early years as a football team, when they were terrible. The game in 2014 will be in Tallahassee, part of a very compelling schedule that includes Notre Dame and Clemson.
2/27/14: With the ACC adding Louisville to the mix next season, and losing Maryland, as well as the fact that the National Championship will be decided with a four team playoff, the ACC has been discussing their scheduling. The conference needs as many high profile games as possible, so keeping some big rivalries with SEC teams is a must. FSU does not want to lose its traditional rivalry game with Florida, and it looks like that will stay in tact. The Seminoles have a great home schedule in 2014, including Clemson, Notre Dame and Florida. Likewise, season ticket sales have increased with an additional 5,000 being sold already.
2/13/14: A few weeks ago, Seminoles head coach Jimbo Fisher said he thought star quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston would play two more years. That is in stark contrast to popular opinion which has the redshrit freshman playing one more year before heading to the NFL draft. For his part, Winston agreed with Fisher. Winston is also a star baseball player and wants some more time with the Noles baseball team to win a national championship there, as well. Time will tell if his schedule will change, but for now, the Noles may have Winston at QB for two more seasons.
2/6/14: Florida State has had three Heisman Trophy winners: Charlie Ward (1993), Chris Wienke (1999), and Jameis Winston (2013). Not only have they won the most prestigious award in college football, they each led their teams to the national championship. Even better, Winston has a chance at a second Heisman and championship. But this is about Charlie Ward. Ward is going close to home in Pensacola, FL to be the head coach of Booker T. Washington High football program. Ward never played in the NFL, and had a pretty successful career in the NBA. Sitll, he is a legend in the Panhandle, so best of luck.
1/30/14: Any successful coach will tell you that it is tough to keep a winning team together. Several Noles are leaving early for the NFL, which is to be expected. A few have expired their eligibility, and that is part of the system. FSU defensive coordinator, Jeremy Pruitt left the program for another opportunity. Finally, it looks like backup quarterback Jacob Coker is headed to Alabama. He has a couple years of eligibility left and is a fine QB. However, he is stuck behind Jameis Winston, so he would have a tough time seeing the field next season. The move hurts QB depth, but Coker is good enough to start almost anywhere, and he deserves that opportunity.
1/23/14: The Seminoles are losing a few great players from their BCS Championship team to the NFL. Most notably, running backs Devonta Freeman and James Wilder Jr., wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, and defensive tackle Timmy Jurnigan have all opted to leave early. That would be cause for concern on many teams, but the Noles have recruited extremely well for years and there are top tier guys ready to make their mark. They have also been able to flip UF recruit Davin Cook (running back) and may get his close friend, who happens to be a top WR.
1/16/14: Its good to be king. The Seminoles will go down in history as the last team to win the BCS Championship. Also of note, FSU (under head coach Bobby Bowden) played in the first three BCS Championship Games, winning in 2000 (1999 season) over Virginia Tech. Next season will be the first with a playoff, and the Noles seem set for that. Three key starters, including running back Karlos Williams and tight end Nick O'Leary have committed to returning instead of going to the NFL. FSU has had a lot of great recruiting classes, so expect them to be in the mix next year as well.
1/9/14: Champions! That single word sums up the Florida State Seminoles. FSU rallied from an 18 point deficit to beat Auburn 34-33. Head coach Jimbo Fisher rolled the dice with fake punt late in the second quarter. The fake paid off and eventually led to a touchdown. FSU defense owned the third quarter, allowing the offense to inch back into the game. Add in a 102 yard kickoff return for a touchdown and a gutsy 80 yard drive with 1:11 remaining, including the winning touchdown with 13 seconds left - and the Seminoles are the National Champions. The look to repeat next year too.
1/2/14: Just four days until FSU takes on Auburn in the BCS Championship Game. This is the fourth time the Seminoles have been in the BCS Championship Game - they were in the first three, and fittingly, in the final version against an SEC team. Star QB Jameis Winston has been racking up the awards in the gap between the regular season and the bowls. He has won the Heisman Trophy, the Walter Camp National Player of the Year Award, and the Davey O'Brien Award. He now adds the AP Player of the Year Award, becoming the first Seminole to take home the honor.
12/26/13: With Nick Saban out of the mix for the University of Texas head coaching job, a lot of eyes are turning towards FSU's Jimbo Fisher. Fisher is a logical choice, having turned the Seminole's program around and getting FSU to the BCS Championship Game this season. However, many believe that Fisher will stay put. While Texas can offer more money and buy out his extension, Fisher already has a premier program that is winning under his leadership. Also, he would probably have to take the job before the Championship game as well as sacrifice a chance to play for the title next year too. Chances are that Jimbo is well entrenched in Tallahassee.
12/19/13: The Downtown Athletic Club announced their Heisman Trophy winner last Saturday, and it was redshirt freshman QB Jameis Winston in a landslide. Winston has been racking up the awards lately - recognition for his outstanding season. Now that the awards season is over, it is time to get back to work. The Noles face Auburn in the BCS Championship Game in Pasadena, Calfornia on January 6. An interesting note - two other Seminoles have won the Heisman, QBs Charlie Ward and Chris Wienke. Both led the Noles to the Championship in the season they won the award.
12/12/13: FSU continued their roll by decimating the Duke Blue Devils in the ACC Championship Game 34-7. FSU is the only team from a major conference that is undefeated this season and now has a month to prepare for the Auburn Tigers in the BCS Championship Game in Pasadena, California. The Noles started off very slowly and the score was tied at 0-0 after one quarter. The team settled down and methodically put up 34 straight points in the second and third quarters to roll to the win. QB Jameis Winston was not charged in his legal issues and was named the MVP of the game.
12/5/13: FSU finished the regular season with a perfect 12-0 record by overwhelming in-state rival Florida 37-7. The Seminoles cruised to a win behind three touchdown receptions by Kelvin Benjamin and another strong day from QB Jameis Winston. Combined with Alabama's loss, the Seminoles moved into first in the BCS, and are expected to play for the championship should they win the ACC Championship. FSU will face Duke in that game this Saturday and is expected to win handily over an inferior opponent. A win would be the second consecutive ACC Championship for the Noles who look like they are returning to their dominant ways of the 90's.
11/28/13: Florida State had a gimme game against the Idaho Vandals in Tallahassee last Saturday. The Noles were favored by 57 heading into the game and more than covered with an 80-14 victory. Florida State was never in danger in this game and wanted to come out of it without any significant injuries. The Noles removed most of their starters for the second half, which was to be expected. FSU heads to Gainesville next week to take on Florida in their annual rivalry game. It is not expected to be much of a rivalry as Florida only has four wins this season and just lost to Georgia Southern at home.
11/21/13: Another week, another ACC decimation by the Seminoles. FSU became the first team to both score at least 59 points and give up three or less to a conference opponent three times in one season by embarrassing the Syracuse Orange 59-3. The game was essentially over in the first quarter as FSU rolled up a 28-0 lead on four straight scoring drives. As expected, the Noles took out their starters for the second half, which gives the backups quality playing time. FSU is still ranked #2 in the BCS and should make the National Championship Game if they remain unbeaten.
11/14/13: FSU got a big gift last week, several days before they routed Wake Forest 59-3. The gift came from #5 Stanford beating down #3 Oregon last week. Had Oregon won, they would have had the inside track for the National Championship game. The loss keeps FSU squarely at #2 and a likely shot at the title. The Noles win on Saturday secured their place in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte in a month. Their opponent is still to be decided and could be either Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Duke, or Miami as those four teams all have a chance at winning the ACC Coastal Division.
11/7/13: The Seminoles continue to prove that they are among the top teams in college football. They hosted the #7 ranked Miami Hurricanes last Saturday and routed their fellow undefeated Florida team 41-14. Red-shirt freshman sensation QB Jameis Winston threw for over 300 yards and a touchdown and two interceptions, while running back Devonta Freeman added 89 yards and two scores. The Noles led 21-14 at halftime and simply dominated the second half. FSU needs a loss by Alabama or Oregon to ensure they have a shot at the National Championship, and Oregon plays #5 Stanford this Thursday.
10/31/13: FSU hosted N.C. State last Saturday in a classic trap game. They destroyed the #3 ranked Clemson Tigers at Clemson the week before and host the #7 Miami Hurricanes the following week. N.C. State was the only ACC team to beat the Noles last season, ending any hope of playing for the National Championship. That would not repeat itself this time. The Noles jumped to a 35-0 lead in the first quarter and ended the game before it started. This Saturday will be another huge test when the undefeated Hurricanes come to town with bragging rights and National hopes on the line.
10/24/13: Florida State must be recognized as the best team in the ACC after completely obliterating and embarrassing Clemson up at Clemson. It was the biggest game for the ACC in the last decade. Gameday did their broadcast from the Clemson campus and the Tigers wanted to set a record for the loudest crowd. FSU did not care about any of the peripherals - they just came to take ownership of the ACC, and they did with a 51-14 rout, which wasn't even that close. FSU moved up to number 3 in polls and should be considered a National Championship contender as long as they take care of business the rest of the season.
10/17/13: The Noles had a bye week, which is probably good for them right now. The team is ranked 7th in the nation, though there are doubters out there because they have only played one top 25 team. That was Maryland, whom they destroyed 63-0. FSU has their biggest test of the season next week when they head to Clemson for an ACC showdown. FSU got some good news when it was determined by both the ACC and the NCAA that Jacobi McDaniels did not target Maryland QB C.J. Brown on a hit that knocked Brown out of the game. He will be eligible to play against Clemson.
10/10/13: A lot of experts put the Noles on 'upset alert' going into Saturday's showdown against #25 Maryland. Maryland destroyed the West Virginia Mountaineers a few weeks ago and had a good looking offense. FSU took notice and tied a record for largest margin of victory over a top 25 team with a 63-0 rout. The defense looked much better after giving up over 30 points to Boston College a week prior. The win sets up a top 10 and ACC showdown next week. Florida State travels to Clemson for what should be the biggest game of the weekend.
10/3/13: FSU scored another road victory against an ACC rival on Saturday, knocking off Boston College in Boston 48-34. FSU was down 14 points early before redshirt freshman Jamies Winston rallied the team for a seven point halftime lead. Winston made what may be the play of the year on the final play of the first half. He somehow eluded two sacks and heaved a 50 yard bomb for a touchdown. BC put up a fight in the second half, and the Nole defense was not as strong as it usually is, but the win keeps the Seminoles ranked 8th in the country. Next up is a home match against the surprising Maryland Terrapins.
9/26/13: Florida State played their second home game of the season on Saturday. This game was over when it was scheduled as the Noles hosted Bethune-Cookman College, and FCS school. FSU won 54-6 in their tune-up for the heart of the season. QB Jameis Winston threw fro 148 yards and two touchdowns. Head coach Jimbo Fisher thought there was a lot of room for improvement on offense, such as running back James Wilder Jr. fumbling on the three yard line. The defending ACC champs are 3-0 overall and 1-0 in conference. They travel to Boston College to face the Eagles next week.
9/19/13: That redshirt freshman QB Jameis Winston had a sensational debut at Pitt on Labor Day, on national television, is old news. The chatter from some Florida media, who need to create a news story, centered on how he would do in his first home start. The suggestion was that if he was not as spectacular as in Week 1, then it would be a let down. That 'controversy' was laid to rest on Saturday. The Seminoles were out of sync for most of the first half. They only led 17-7 at halftime. Then they destroyed Nevada, scoring 31 points in the third quarter. All four FSU running backs had touchdowns. Jameis threw two TDs and ran another in himself. Jameis' day ended midway through the third quarter as the Noles put the game out of reach. FSU racked up 377 yards rushing in the 62-7 win. FSU hosts Bethune-Cookman College next week before going to Boston College on September 28.
9/12/13: The Seminoles like to play on Labor Day Night. It is a Monday before the NFL season and they have a monopoly on the football games. This year was no exception as the Noles destroyed the Pitt Panthers (in their ACC welcoming) 41-13. FSU ushered in the Jameis Winston era with a bang, and now expectations are sky-high. If Winston can continue to play at such a high level then the experts that picked them to finish behind Clemson will be eating their words. The Seminoles have the week off as they prepare to host the University of Nevada Wolfpack in their home opener on September 14.
9/4/13: World meet Jameis Winston. Winston, this is the World. Winston is the redshirt freshman starting quarterback of the Florida state Seminoles. He played his first collegiate game on Monday at ACC newcomer Pitt and proceeded to pick apart the defense with the poise of a veteran and the skill of world-class surgeon. Winston threw for four touchdowns and added another running while setting marks for completion percentage (over 92%). The 41-13 win is a good start for the Noles who are now ranked 11th. Florida State now has a bye week before hosting the University of Nevada Wolfpack in their home opener.
8/29/13: The talk in the ACC is that Clemson is the team to beat. But FSU has something to say about that. FSU has been among the tops in the nation in recruiting for the past several years, so the fact that they are starting a lot of new faces does not phase them. FSU will play Clemson in Death Valley in October, with the winner likely having the inside track for the Coastal Division title and a shot in the ACC Championship Game. The last question remaining for the Noles is the starting quarterback, but most reports indicate it will be redshirt freshman Jamies Winston.
8/22/13: The season opener is right around the corner, and that will be a Monday night game at ACC newcomer Pitt. This will be an interesting year for the Seminoles. Many believe it is a make or break year for head coach Jimbo Fisher. Fisher has led the team to an ACC championship and Orange Bowl victory last year, but many believe that he has underachieved considering 11 players from last year's team were drafted into the NFL. The Noles have six new assistant coaches, including Jeremy Pruitt, as the defensive coordinator. Clemson is the consensus pick for the ACC, but not if the Noles have anything to say about it.
8/15/13: Only a few more weeks until the college football season kicks off, and Seminole fans are giddy with anticipation. Rival Clemson was selected to win the Atlantic division and the conference championship over the Noles, who are the defending champion in both. FSU opens the season on the road, welcoming ACC newcomer University of Pittsburgh on Monday, September 2. It will be a good test for the Seminoles to start the season, and the team wants to make a good impression in the nationally televised game. Head coach Jimbo Fisher has not named the starting QB yet, but most expect it to be redshirt sophomore "Famous" Jamious Winston.
8/8/13: In case you missed it - and most Florida State fans did not - Clemson is the consensus pick to win the ACC this coming season. Clemson and FSU are in the same division, so they cannot meet for the Conference Championship Game. Instead, most pundits picked Clemson to win the ACC outright, which would imply the Tigers beating the Noles. But this is just the motivation that FSU needs - they want to be undervalued and simply win every game outright this season. While FSU may have a litany of new coaches, they still have the most talent in the ACC.
8/1/13: It has been a tough summer for Florida State tight ends, but nothing worse than Nick O'Leary crashing his motorcycle. There is video available, showing O'Leary riding down a road when a car pulls out in front of him. O'Leary slammed into the car and flipped off the bike. The crash could have killed him, yet he walked away with minor injuries, thank goodness. O'Leary is also the grandson of golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, and is the starting tight end for the Seminoles. He is expected to be fully healed and even take on a bigger role in the offense this season.
7/25/13: The Seminoles have been racking up commitments for top recruits faster than Urban Meyer's Gator teams racked up arrests. FSU recently got recruit number 19 in local running back Jonathan Vickers, who also had offers from Alabama and Stanford. The Noles also landed wide receiver Javonte Seabury from Orlando. FSU also has a great chance of getting five star cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who dropped into FSU's final day of camp. This is shaping up to be another top 5 recruiting class for the Noles and head coach Jimbo Fisher, and more success well in the future.
7/18/13: All eyes in the ACC will be on Florida State this season, as the Seminoles are being picked to be the conference champion again. It will be a new look for the team, as many assistants left for promotions, including former defensive coordinator Mark Stoops who is now the head coach at Kentucky. Also, about a dozen Seminoles are now in the NFL, including quarterback E.J. Manuel (Buffalo Bills, 1st round). Redshirt freshman Famous Jamious is expected to replace Manuel and bring more athleticism to the position - and he already has Nole fans excited after the clinic he put on in the Spring Game.
7/4/13: Good news for the Seminoles and their fans. The school is almost finished with the indoor practice facility that has been needed for so long. FSU has always practiced outside, but severe thunderstorms and even hurricanes that come out of the Gulf of Mexico and hit the Florida Panhandle often lead to cancelled practices - and that does not include the treacherous heat and humidity of the area in the summer and fall months. Head coach Jimbo Fisher made this a priority when he took the job, and was able to get strong support from boosters to build the facility. It puts them on par with other major programs and will contribute to the Noles ongoing success.
6/27/13: Last year, Florida State's defense was hit hard by injuries and player dismissals (looking at you, Greg Reid). However, the 'next man up' theory worked well here as a result of FSU's stellar recruiting (nice to meet you Tank Carradine, now do well in the NFL). But the offense is starting to get hit this season. Tight end Kevin Haplea will miss the season with a torn ACL. The injury occured during voluntary summer workouts when his feet got tangled up with another player. Haplea was expected to take a bigger role in the Seminole's offense this season, which has used the tight end much more under Jimbo Fisher than under legendary coach Bobby Bowden.
6/20/13: The Seminoles landed a coup when they got five star linebacker Matthew Thomas to sign a few months ago. Then it turned a bit bad. Thomas wanted out of his commitment and to go elsewhere, presumably USC. However, after speaking with the coaching staff, Thomas is staying and appears committed to continuing the Seminole excellence on defense. He may not play right away, but he will be a force to be reckoned with during his time at FSU. The Noles also received a verbal commitment from Jacob Pugh, another highly sought after linebacker (who is from Tallahassee).
6/6/13: When Seminoles head coach Jimbo Fisher hired Jeremy Pruitt to replace Mark Stoops as defensive coordinator, many questioned the decision. Stoops is now the head coach of Kentucky, and did a fantastic job as the Noles DC. But Pruitt is proving up to the challenge of the prestigious position. He was able to land Jakob Pugh, one of the top ranked linebacker prospects, to FSU. Though it is still just a verbal commitment, it shows that Pruitt and Fisher can recruit, and the Noles expect another top 10 recruiting class this season. 11 Seminoles were drafted by NFL teams in April - the most of any school, so it is obvious for those players who want to play on Sundays, that FSU is a good place to train.
5/23/13: A little love for the Florida State football offensive scheme from former starting QB E.J. Manuel. After going through his first rookie minicamp with the Buffalo Bills, he said the Bills offensive playbook was simple and very easy when compared to the Seminoles offense. Some people took that at as a shot at Noles head coach Jimbo Fisher, but it sounds more like a complement. FSU runs a pro-style offense, which better prepares QBs for the NFL than spread offenses. Enjoy the simplicity for now, E.J, it will likely get a whole lot more complicated and a lot faster very soon.
5/9/13: FSU wide receiver Marvin Bracy has decided to turn pro. In track. Bracy has world class speed and decided that he want to pursue a career running around an oval rather than catching balls. Bracy was one of the most highly recruited prospects coming out of high school, primarily for his speed. Racing for FSU in February, Bracy recorded one of the world's fastest time in the indoor 60 yard dash at an astonishing 6.54 seconds. FSU should not suffer too much. The team has four of their top five receivers returning next season, including Rashad Green, who led the team with 57 catches.
5/2/13: The reigning Orange Bowl and ACC Champion Florida State Seminoles showed up big at the NFL draft. A record 11 Seminoles were selected in the draft, more than any other program. Among them, QB EJ Manual, Bjorn Werner, and Xavier Rhodes went in the first round. This gives credence the belief that the Noles are back on the college football map. The fact that they play a pro-style offense and have a reputation for tenacious defense is a lure for top high school recruits that want to play on Sundays one day - and their recent recruiting classes reflect that mindset.
4/24/13: The battle for the starting quarterback position for the Seminoles seems to be taking care of itself. Redshirt sophomore Jameis Winston stepped into the spring game last week and threw for three touchdown. He electirfied the offense and the crowd with his onfield heroics. Meanwhile, junior Clint Trickett was serviceable, but the buzz is with Winston. Trickett announced that he was transferring just days after the spring game, and would like a chance to start before his college career is over. Meanwhile, the Florida State faithful are all amped up about the possibility of having Winston for a couple years and all he could accomplish.
4/18/13: The Seminoles will have four representatives from their 2012 season in New York City for the NFL Draft, including E.J. Manuel and Bjorn Werner. Losing that kind of leadership may damage a team that just made a big step last season by winning its first BCS bowl game in seven years. Additionally, the Noles are bringing in a whopping seven new assistant coaches. But the team seems confident that they can build on last year's success and do better in 2013. Clint Tricket is expected to be the starting QB, but he may have competition from a redshirt sophomore.
4/4/13: The Seminoles held their first spring scrimmage and head coach Jimbo Fisher was fairly tight lipped about the results. FSU lost six assistant coaches in the off season, and replacing them will not be easy. They also lost star defensive tackle Bjorn Werner (to the NFL draft) and starting quarterback E.J. Manual (graduation, and the draft). The Noles figure to have several players drafted by NFL teams around the country in a couple weeks, and it will be no easy feat to replace that kind of talent. Still, many believe they will be better next season, and cruise to another ACC title.
3/21/13: The Seminoles held their annual Pro Day on Tuesday, March 19, and showcased the talents of a whopping 14 players. Participating were stars like QB E.J. Manuel, defensive lineman Bjorn Werner, and former cornerback Greg Reid. Representatives from all 32 teams were on hand to watch the workouts. Manuel continues to move up draft boards across the NFL, particularly since there is not a lot of QB competition this year. He has now been asked to attend the Draft in New York in April - as he is expected to be a rather early draft pick - possibly by the Arizona Cardinals or New York Jets.
2/7/13: The Noles finished with another top-10 recruiting class, which is truly remarkable considering they lost a whopping six assistant coaches since the end of the regular season. Two big 'gets' were linebacker Michael Thomas out of Miami, who chose FSU over the Hurricanes and cornerback Jalen Ramsey of Chattenooga, who the Noles flipped from USC. The big loss was wide receiver Stacy Coley as well as offensive linemen Austin Golson (Ole Miss) and Denver Kirkland (Arkansas). Other players of note include defensive end Demarcus Walker, guard Ira Denson, and wide receiver Jesus Wilson. The continued influx of talent ensures that FSU will stay atop of the ACC.
1/31/13: Former Seminoles quarterback E.J. Manuel played his final football game in college in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, capturing Most Outstanding Player honors. Manuel threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another as his South team beat the north 21-16. Manuel will now return home to Virginia to be with his mother who just completed chemotherapy for breast cancer and is about to undergo surgery. Considering his performance in the Orange Bowl and Senior Bowl, and the lack of QBs in the draft, his stock may rise to the first or second round in the April draft.
1/10/13: Many people scoffed when the Northern Illinois Huskies of the Mid America Conference was invited to the Orange Bowl. Several others thought that the Seminoles would be uninspired, that they would overlook the Huskies, and that they were primed for an upset. Then the game was played. FSU dominated the Orange Bowl, ran up 534 yards and won easily 31-10. NIU was simply out-manned and should not have been a BCS game. The win was FSU's 12th of the season and first BCS bowl win since 2005, and sets the Noles up for another strong recruiting class.
1/3/13: In the weeks leading up to the Discover Orange Bowl, many experts assumed that the Seminoles would not be interested in the game against Northern Illinois. FSU proved them wrong with a decisive 31-10 victory that proved that the Huskies did not belong in a BCS game. The Seminoles put up over 500 yards of offense and limited NIU to about 250 yards total. The victory gave FSU 12 wins on the season and their first BCS bowl win since 2006. After the game, junior cornerback Xavier Rhodes announced that he would forego his senior year and will enter the NFL draft.
12/27/12: With less than a week until the Orange Bowl, the speculation is mounting on whether several Seminole juniors will declare for the NFL draft and leave early. At least four juniors, including star defensive end Bjorn Werner and cornerback Xavier Rhodeswill likely be drafted with the opportunity to play on Sundays. Additionally, there are 10 more who may decide to try the professional ranks. Werner could be among the top five picks in the April draft, which would make him the highest drafted German born player ever. But all the possible pros have decided not to speak about their career decisions until after the Orange Bowl.
12/20/12 Rumor is that FSU has found their replacement for Mark Stoops. Stoops, the younger brother of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, announced he was leaving the program to be the head coach at Kentucky following the ACC Championship Game. His replacement appears to be Jeremy Pruitt, who is currently the Defensive Backs Coach at Alabama. Head Coach Jimbo Fisher acknowledged that he met with Pruitt, but has not announced the hire, which may not come until after Alabama plays Notre Dame in the BCS Championship Game on January 8. Meanwhile, FSU is preparing to play Northern Illinois in the Orange Bowl on January 1.
12/13/12: FSU's defense was among the top ranked units this past season, and has improved steadily for the past three years. The architect of the defense is Mark Stoops, who has left the Defensive Coordinator job at FSU for the head coaching job at Kentucky. Stoops is the brother of Oklahoma Head Coach Bob Stoops, but has emerged from his older brother's shadow as a top defensive mind. It is Mark Stoops' first head coaching job. While Kentucky is not a strong football program, it is in the SEC and a great opportunity to rebuild the team.
12/6/12: The bowl match-ups are all set, and FSU is heading back to the Orange Bowl. The Seminoles defeated Georgia Tech 21-15 in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte, scoring all of their points in the first half. GT made a game of it late, but the Noles defense shut down the Yellow Jackets running game and held on. FSU will play in its 9th Orange Bowl on January 1. Rather than playing the Big East champion, the Seminoles will face the Northern Illinois Huskies out of the Mid America Conference (MAC), who qualified by finishing in the top 16 in the BCS standings.
11/29/12: FSU football took a big hit last Saturday when the Florida Gators beat the Seminoles in Tallahassee. Poor play early put the Noles down by 13 at the half. FSU took the lead in the second half, but a vicious hit to quarterback EJ Manual forced a fumble. A UF touchdown on the next play effectively sealed the game. FSU now travels to Charlotte to play Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship, with a birth to the Orange Bowl on the line. Additionally, Defensive Coordinator Mark Stoops has accepted the head coaching job at Kentucky and will leave the team following the ACC Championship.
11/22/12: FSU completed the formality of locking up the ACC Atlantic Division by dismantling a lowly Maryland team that was starting a linebacker at quarterback. The Noles finished conference play 7-1, tied with Clemson for the best record. However, they own the head-to-head matchup with the Tigers, and will go to the ACC Championship Game against Georgia Tech. But first, the No. 10 Noles will host their arch rival, the No. 4 UF Gators in a game that has BCS Championship implications. Expect the FSU defense to wreak havoc on the Gators' offense, and move up the BCS standings.
11/15/2012: FSU didn't beat Virginia Tech so much as survive. Playing in a hostile environment, on a national Thursday night game, against a talented but underachieving team, on the road - well, anything could happen. And it almost did. E.J. Manual's touchdown pass to Rashad Green with 40 seconds left gave FSU the final lead and save the Noles' season. FSU could not get past VA Tech's blitzes for most of the night, and actually had -20 rushing yards. But they did exploit the blitz when they needed to, and won a crucial game. Now, just beat Maryland at home and go to the ACC Championship Game.
11/8/12: The Seminoles enjoyed a bye week and still have the inside track over Clemson for the division title in the ACC. FSU's only loss was and unexpected upset by North Carolina State. The loss likely derailed any national championship aspirations, but a trip the ACC Championship and the Orange Bowl are still in line. The Seminoles next test comes tonight on the road against Virginia Tech. The Hokies have struggled all year, but will be geared up for this game. The Noles need to win this game, their ACC finale at Maryland, and the last game of the season at home against arch rival Florida.
11/1/12: Florida State did what most teams do against Duke football - put them away early and make the Blue Devils pray for basketball season. The final score was 48-7, but the game was never even really that close. The Seminoles were playing their first game without running back Chris Thompson, who is out of the season (and career) with a torn ACL. Devonta Freemand and James Wilder Jr. picked up the slack, and combined for about 200 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries. Quarterback E.J. Manuel did not have to work too hard for the victory, as the Noles used this game as preparation for a Thursday night road game at Virginia Tech on November 8.
10/18/12: It's a long shot, but FSU does have an outside chance of playing for the national championship this year. All they have to do is continue to blowout opponents and have everyone else lose. The Noles lost to NC State two weeks ago and took their frustrations out on a hapless Boston College team in a 51-7 drubbing. Next up is long time rival Miami in Miami. FSU fans are also in the unusual position of having to root for the hated Gators. The Noles host the Gators in late November, and need Florida to be unbeaten to improve their strength of schedule.
10/4/12: FSU overcame some early-game sloppiness to put University of South Florida away, 30-17 last Saturday. It was the first game in Tampa for FSU since 1979, though the program has traditionally recruited well in the area. USF upset the Noles in Tallahassee in 2009, and while players and coaches would not say anything publicly, the fans treated this as a revenge game. This coming Saturday, the Seminoles leave Florida for the first time this season, when they travel to Raleigh, NC to face ACC foe North Carolina State. FSU is now ranked #3 in the nation, bypassing LSU who struggled with Towsen.
8/16/12: The Blues made the Stanley Cup Finals in their first three years of existence (getting swept three times). They have not been back since. Of course, the Blues were part of a six team expansion that doubled the size of the league in the late 1960's, and all expansion teams were in the same conference. Hope are high in the Gateway City that this is the year that the Note returns to the Promised Land for the first time in forty years. The roster is relatively unchanged from the team that made the giant leap from afterthought to second in the West. And Vegas agrees, placing the Blues odds at 10 to 1 currently.
8/2/12: A bittersweet day for the Seminoles, as the first Coach's Poll was released, ranking the FSU #7, with one first place vote. In order: LSU, Alabama, USC, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Georgia placed ahead of Jimbo Fisher's squad. As for bragging rights, the Florida Gators were ranked #22, though that will not mean anything by the time they play in November. On the downside, starting star cornerback and kick returner Greg Ried was dismissed from the team. Ried is among the best at his position and his loss will be felt. He had a few run-ins with the law over the past 18 months, which likely contributed to his dismissal.
7/26/12: The Penn State scandal had reverberating effects through the NCAA recordbooks, as all of the school's football wins were vacated from 1998-2011. Prior to the forfeits, former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno was the NCAA's all-time Division I wins leader. The move vacated 111 winds, moving FSU's Bobby Bowden into first place with 377. Bowden had 12 wins vacated from a tutoring scandal in 2006 and 2007, and additionally has over 20 wins from his time as the head coach of Samford that are not counted. Bowden is not taking any pleasure in the new record, lamenting that the thoughts should be with the victims.
5/23/12: Add Florida State to the list of schools considering switching conferences. Rumors are rampant that FSU is considering moving from the basketball-centric ACC to the more lucrative Big 12. The Big 12 is down to 10 members as Mizzou and Texas A&M bolted for the SEC. FSU has sent mixed signals, with administrators claiming they love the ACC but the Board of Trustees admitting to considering a move. The ACC dreamed of being a superconference when they stole Miami, Virgina Tech, and Boston College from the Big East a decade ago, but the hype was never achieved, and the ACC is the fifth of the six BCS conferences these days.

Gaston Leroux's has penned the novel titled "The Phantom of the Opera" that has been adapted for film 14 times. Amongst these adaptations the best and the most popular cinematic version of the respective classic had been in the year 1925. It had starred the talented and the famous actor Lon Chaney. This legendary actor had played the character of Erik, who is shown as a very mysterious man who falls in love with a beautiful singer.
The respective musical has been based on a novel penned by the talented writer named Gaston Leroux in the year 1909. This novel/musical tells the story of unrequited love.
It tells the story of a masked figure that creeps around beneath the Paris Opera House, and at times terrorizes its resident crew members. This includes the arrogant diva named Carlott (the character of Carlott has been played by Patricia Phillips) and also haughty opera owners. The "Opera Ghost" does this with a reason. It wants to see a beautiful young soprano named Christine (the role that has been beautifully enacted by the lovely actress named Jenifer Hope Wills) to become a successful star.
As the Phantom goes on making threats, the audience comes across a gifted yet a rejected man who longs for both love and acceptance. This feeling has been beautifully explained in the ballad titled "The Music of the Night."
Another beautiful ballad that has been included in this musical is titled as "Masquerade" which can be best described as being the celebration of illusion. A ballad that is much popular with the audience is "All I Ask Of You," which has been beautifully sung by Christine and her suitor named Raoul.Buy the cheap phantom of the opera tickets, discount phantom of the opera tickets, phantom of the opera cheap tickets at low prices...

Alternative Therapies & Cancer
Alternative Therapy
In a group of 81 parents of children with cancer, 65% used alternative therapy to overcome the illness. Most practiced were prayer, exercise, and spiritual healing among the group with cancer. Another group, the control, consisted of 80 parents of children attending a continuity care clinic for routine check-ups and acute care. Out of the control group, 51% sought the power of prayer, massage, and spiritual healing.
Friedman, Tracey, B.S., et al: Use of Alternative Therapies for Children With Cancer, Pediatrics, December, 1997;100(6):1-6.
Myths About Alternative Cancer Therapies Debunked
At a presentation of the American Cancer Society meeting Dr. McGinnis, a surgeon from Atlanta, stated several studies show unproven cancer therapies are more popular among affluent, well educated patients and some primary care physicians are supportive of their patients seeking these approaches.
The myth of the uneducated patient being lured by a "quack" is not valid. Nine percent of patients in an American Cancer Society unpublished study of over 5,000 patients use some form of alternative therapy and in other studies the figures ranged up to almost 50%.
In one study alternative therapy was recommended by primary physicians 35% of the time.
35% of the patients utilize alternative therapy without informing their physicians.
Mental imagery or some type of psychic therapy was used in over half of the cases of alternative treatments.
38% utilized diet therapies.
33% of the patients used drugs or electronic therapies.
The average cost over a year is less than $1,000.00 and there is less stress associated with it and usually slight improvement reported by the patient.
25% receive some type of insurance reimbursement. Only 5% drop out of conventional methods all together.
"Myths About Alternative Cancer Therapies Debunked", Family Practice News, September 1-14, 1990;10.
Bacteria & Cancer
Since the early 20's a small group of researchers have isolated pleomorphic bacteria from the blood and tumors of humans and animals with cancer. They are believed to be cell wall deficient bacteria and are regularly seen in cancer patients under dark field microscopy. The bacteria can be injected into experimental animals and induce cancer. Some cancers have been prevented by prevaccination of the killed bacteria in animal models.
These bacteria produce a protein similar to chorionic gonadotropin hormone which protects trophoblastic and cancer cells from immune recognition. A plasmid may be responsible for this property. These bacteria may be associated with retrovirus.
"Cancer and Cell Wall Deficient Bacteria", Macomber, P.B., Medical Hypothesis; 1990;32:1-9.
Free Radicals & Cancer
Extensively reviews the role of free radicals on cancer and atherosclerosis.
Aerobic creatures are not only dependent on oxygen, but are exposed to it though, humans may be exposed to more oxidant stress. There is indirect evidence implicating reactive oxygen species in diseases such as cancer and atherosclerosis. Oxidative stress may be a normal process of aging.
Oxidative stress can be measured by such techniques as breath pentane, electronic spin resonance and specific measures of base damage to DNA by mass spectrometry and other techniques. Important data will be revealed soon from large scale chemoprevention trials currently underway.
Free radical scavenging enzymes can be assessed and can compliment the more routine measurements of trace elements and antioxidant nutrients.
"Role of Free Radicals in Cancer and Atherosclerosis", Bankson, Daniel, D., Ph.D., et al, Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, June 1993;13(2):463-480.
Electrical Workers & Cancer
In a 1 year study from 1985 to 1986 in 16 states, occupational data reviewing 2,173 men dying of primary brain cancer and 3,400 who died of leukemia were matched to 10controls for each person and it was found those employed in an electrical occupation had an odds ratio of 1.4 for brain cancer and a 1.0 for leukemia compared with men of other occupations.
Brain cancer odds ratios were increased for electrical engineers and technicians (2.7), telephone workers (1.6), electrical power workers (1.7) and electrical workers in the manufacturing industries (2.1).
There was some evidence of excess leukemia among these same groups. The brain cancer death increase was seen most significantly in men 65 years of age or older.
Leukemia associations were only seen for younger descendants of electrical workers and for those with acute lymphocytic leukemia.
These studies support other reports of increased mortality from brain cancer among electrical workers but there is minimal support for the suggestion of excess deaths from leukemia in electrical workers.
"Mortality From Brain Cancer and Leukemia Among Electrical Workers", Loomis, D P. and Savitz, D.A., British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1990;47:633-638.
Depression & Cancer
In over 2,000 patients' scores on The Center For Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, evaluated between 1971 and 1974, followed up after 12 years, 169 cancers were diagnosed among these individuals.
There was only a slight association with depression and cancer compared to the normal population, but there was a much stronger correlation between depressed cigarette smokers and cancer.
Depressed mood with the highest level of smoking was associated with a 4.5 risk for total cancer and 2.9 risk for cancers not at classic smoking sites. There was an 18.5 relative risk at sites associated with smoking.
"Depressed Mood and Development of Cancer", Linkins, Robert and Comstock, George W., The American Journal of Epidemiology, 1990; 132(5):962-970.
Leukemia & Cancer
Children with cancer represent a high-risk group for protein-energy malnutrition due to side effects associated with treatment. Assessment of nutritional status at the time of diagnosis and during treatment is, therefore, essential for planning nutritional intervention.
Mild/moderate malnutrition is common in leukemic patients at D/R and that PA seems to be the most sensitive indicator of visceral protein status.
Nutritional status of children with leukemia. Yu-LC et al., Med-Pediatr-Oncol. 1994; 22(2): 73-7.
Cancer Prevention
Resistant starch (amylomaize starch) may help to prevent colon cancer because of its beneficial effect on bacterial metabolism in the human colon. In 12 healthy volunteers on a controlled basal diet enriched with either amylomaize starch (high-resistant starch diet) or available cornstarch (low-resistant starch diet). During the high-resistant starch diet, fecal wet and dry weight increased 49% and 56%, respectively, whereas stool water content did not change significantly. During the high- resistant starch diet, bacterial beta-glucosidase activity decreased by 26 %. During the high-resistant starch diet, fecal concentrations of total neutral sterols decreased by 30% and fecal concentrations of 4-cholesten-3- one decreased by 36%.
Hylla, Silke, et al: Effects of Resistant Starch on the Colon in Healthy Volunteers: Possible Implications for Cancer Prevention, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1998;67:136-142.
Lifestyle Changes
It is estimated by lifestyle changes we may be able to reduce the risk of cancer by 70 to 80% in adult life. This may be achieved possibly by just modifying the diet and eliminating tobacco and alcohol.
Established dietary factors in cancer are excess calories, aflatoxins and salted Chinese food from south China.
Other risk factors include low fruits, vegetables, vitamins C and E, brassica vegetables, fiber, beta-carotene, and selenium.
Increased risks include consumption of nitrates/nitrites, meat and fat consumption and excess calories. Sunlight exposure, lack of circumcision, multiple sexual partners, lack of sanitation and exercise may also increase the risk.
"Lifestyle: An Overview", Doll, Sir Richard, MD, Cancer Detection and Prevention, 1990;14(6):589-594.
Magnetic Fields & Children
252 cases of childhood cancers were compared to controls with regards to home use of electrical appliances by the mother during pregnancy and by the child.
Prenatal electric blanket exposure was associated with a small increase in the incidence of childhood cancer and was more pronounced for leukemia.
Postnatal exposure to electric blankets was also weakly associated with childhood cancer with a larger but imprecise association with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Waterbeds and bedside clocks were unrelated to cancer incidence.
Electric blankets, a principal source of prolonged magnetic field exposure, were weakly associated with childhood cancer and warrant further study.
"Magnetic Field Exposure From Electric Appliances and Childhood Cancer", Savitz, David A., et al, American Journal of Epidemiology, 1990;131(5):763-773.
Malignant Melanomas
Malignant Melanoma Prevention
At the Second International Conference on Melanoma in October of 1989 it was accepted that the main cause of melanoma in caucasians was exposure to sunlight, especially UVB.
In a mouse model it was found that feeding omega-6 fatty acids could enhance tumor promotion as well as increase circulating prostaglandin levels.
Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation reduced prostaglandin levels to normal. Other researchers found that the addition of omega-3 fatty acids had an inhibitory effect on photocarcinogenesis and reduced the UVB-induced inflammatory response.
Antioxidant supplementation suppressed the tumor enhancing effect of omega-6 fatty acids.
A diet that will moderate the activity of the arachidonic acid cascade may be beneficial in suppressing the promotion of malignant melanoma.
Good antioxidant status, especially with regards to vitamins A, C and E, and the trace element selenium are important in cellular antioxidant systems.
Fatty acid supplementation from the omega-6 family just enough to meet the essential requirements results in the least amount of tumors. The ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in the diet should be high. Fish consumption should be included twice a week.
"Prevention of Melanoma", Mackie, BS & Mackie, LE. Nutrition and Cancer, 1990;14(2):81-83.
Maxillofacial Cancer
Literature review of nutrition problems in patients with operable maxillofacial neoplasms.
Causes of malnutrition in head-neck tumours will be particularly examined: metabolic alteration due to the presence of neoplasm; the tumour being situated in the first upper respiratory-digestive tracts; the side effects of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy; the results of surgery and finally those of a late diagnosis.
Once clinical nutrition has been indicated by both clinical and biochemical parameters, a plan for the most frequently used pre- postoperative treatments is drawn up.
Disagreement is found between: enteral or parenteral, given advantages and disadvantages of both. The former is more physiological, less expensive and simpler to carry out while the latter permits a more individualised form of treatment and simplifies metabolic evaluation.
Treatment plan: parenteral in the preoperative phase and a gradual weaning from parenteral to enteral treatment in the postoperative patient.
Artificial nutritional therapy makes absolutely no difference to the prognosis but allows the patient to undergo the appropriate therapy.
[Clinical nutrition in maxillofacial cancer surgery. A review of the literature] Carbone-M et al., Minerva-Stomatol. 1994 May; 43(5): 239-46.
Radiation & Cancer
Radiation (1)
Late radiation enteropathy (LRE) is a serious disorder. Can alterations in proximal intestinal motility predict the clinical severity of this disorder?
Patients with chronic abdominal complaints after radiotherapy for gynecological cancer were examined
The typical presentation of severe LRE included: intestinal pseudoobstruction, malnutrition, failure of postprandial motility.
Severe late radiation enteropathy is characterized by impaired motility of proximal small intestine. Husebye-Eet al., Dig-Dis-Sci. 1994 Nov; 39(11): 2341-9.
Radiation (2)
Radiation therapy is frequently a primary or adjunctive mode of therapy in head and neck cancer. As the number of radiotherapy patients rises, the need for proper detection, diagnosis, and treatment of oral lesions likewise increases. These range from mild and reversible changes to severely disfiguring or life-threatening alterations.
The head and neck radiotherapy patient: Part 1--Oral manifestations of radiation therapy. Semba-SE. et al., Compendium. 1994 Feb; 15(2): 250, 252-60; quiz 261.
In light of the research in progress on the benefits of various phytochemicals in foods, it appears feasible that the chemical compounds from herbs also could be helpful in prevention or treatment of cancer and other diseases.
Dietetics professionals can contribute value in this area by talking with patients, keeping interested physicians informed, and maintaining information on alternative therapies.
Spaulding Albright N: A review of some herbal and related products commonly used in cancer patients. J Am Diet Assoc, 1997 Oct, 97:10 Suppl 2, S208-15.
Consuming a diet rich in plant foods will provide a milieu of phytochemicals, nonnutritive substances in plants that possess health-protective benefits.
Nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables contain an abundance of phenolic compounds, terpenoids, pigments, and other natural antioxidants that have been associated with protection from and/or treatment of chronic disease such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and hypertension as well as other medical conditions.
The foods and herbs with the highest anticancer activity include garlic, soybeans, cabbage, ginger, licorice, and the umbelliferous vegetables.
Citrus, in addition to providing an ample supply of vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, and pectin, contains a host of active phytochemicals. The phytochemicals in grains reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Body size & diet
Body size, diet
This study found a correlation between increased body size and the development of endometrial cancer. Additionally, those women who consumed less plant and animal fat and more complex carbohydrates exhibited a reduced risk of endometrial cancer. More than 330 histologically confirmed, primary endometrial cancer cases were compared to 511 controls. Subjects were between 18 and 84 years of age and of multiethnic origins. The odds ratio for endometrial cancer among women in the highest quartile of body mass index was more than 4 times that of women in the lowest quartile. Those who had endometrial cancer consumed a greater percentage of their calories from fat, and a lower percentage of their calories from carbohydrates than controls.
Goodman, Marc T., et al: Diet, Body Size, Physical Activity, and the Risk of Endometrial Cancer, Cancer Research, November 15, 1997;57:5077-5085.
Researchers have found that diets lacking in whole grains are linked to higher risks of stomach and colon cancer. Many other studies connect high-fiber diets with a reduced risk of breast cancer, uterine cancer, and coronary heart disease. In a 6-year study of over 65,000 women, those who consumed diets high in carbohydrates from white bread, potatoes, white rice, and pasta had 2½ times the risk for type II diabetes than those who ate a diet rich in high-fiber foods like whole wheat bread and whole grain pasta. The article also explains the biological benefits of whole grain carbohydrates. While low-fiber carbohydrates such as pasta behave like white sugar during digestion, whole grain carbohydrates add bulk and pass through the digestive system without being broken down quickly.
Foltz-Gray, Dorothy: Against The Grain?, Hippocrates, November, 1997;54-61.
Alcohol Consumption and Mortality
Those who drink alcohol have a higher risk of developing cancer during their lifetimes. Causes of death associated with drinking alcohol were cirrhosis and alcoholism; cancers of the mouth, esophagus, pharynx, larynx and liver; breast cancer in women; and injuries and other external causes in men. The mortality from breast cancer was 30% higher in women who reported at least one drink daily than among nondrinkers. The overall death rates were lowest among men and women who reported about 1 drink daily due to alcohol's preventative effect on heart disease.
Thun, Michael J., M.D., et al: Alcohol Consumption and Mortality Among Middle-Aged and Elderly U.S. Adults, New England Journal of Medicine, December 11, 1997;337(24):1705-1714.
In a 1984 to 1986 study, pesticide exposure was linked to mortality from brain cancer among French farmers. The study, which analyzed the exposure index among male French farmers between 35 and 74, revealed higher brain cancer mortality rates than mortality for the overall population.

According to this study conducted on human cell lines in vitro, inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) inhibits the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma. Upon treatment with IP6, the HepG2 cells (human liver cancer cells) had a decreased ability to form colonies, and the cancer cell line also differentiated into a less aggressive phenotype. These results indicate that IP6 may be an effective potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Red Wine
Red Wine
Resveratrol and quercetin, both phenolic compounds present in red wine, act together against cancer better than either resveratrol or quercetin alone. Resveratrol and quercetin each effectively inhibit growth of human oral squamous carcinoma cell (SCC-25) and DNA synthesis, but when combined, the inhibitory effects of the two compounds are increased. Diluted red wine, with only 1.6 microM of each of resveratrol and quercetin, had significantly more inhibitory effect on cell growth, DNA synthesis and changes in cell morphology than each compound alone or in combination.

Green Tea
Green Tea
A component of green tea known as (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) inhibits the growth of cancer cells by inhibiting a type of enzyme that has been associated with cancerous growth. The cell-surface membranes of cancer cells contain high levels of an enzyme called tNOX (hydroquinone oxidase with protein disulfide-thiol interchange activity). Addition of EGCg from green tea inhibits tNOX activity and growth of cancer cells, even in the presence of oxidizing conditions. Researchers conclude that ECGg from green tea has anti-cancer properties that are unrelated to antioxidant activities.

Antioxidants found in green tea are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream after ingestion, leading to a peak in blood antioxidants that may lower the risk for cancer. Researchers measured serum and urine antioxidant concentration after ingestion of green tea, using the ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Results indicated rapid absorption of green tea antioxidants, peaking in plasma concentration at 4% after 40 minutes. Clearance was also rapid, peaking after 60 to 90 minutes. The sharp increase in plasma antioxidants after ingestion may be adequate to prevent oxidative damage associated with cancer.

The carotenoid astaxanthin may help to combat tumors by stimulating the immune response, according to this study conducted on mice. Researchers gave mice astaxanthin mixed in a chemically defined diet and then innoculated the mice with tumor cells. Tumor size and weight were determined three days after innoculation. Mice fed with astaxanthin exhibited significantly lower tumor size and weight if supplementation had begun 1-3 weeks before tumor innoculation. Supplemented mice also exhibited higher activity levels of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and interferon-gamma production by tumor-draining lymph node. These results indicate that astaxanthin suppresses tumor growth by stimulating an immune response against cancer cells.

Green Tea and Dosage Safety
Green Tea and Dosage Safety
Cancer patients may safely supplement with 1.0 g/m(2) green tea extract three times a day - the equivalent of 7-8 Japanese cups of green tea. Researchers tested the effects of different dose levels [0.5 to 5.05 g/m (2) once a day, and 1.0 to 2.2 g/m(2) three times a day] of oral green tea extract on 49 cancer patients. All cases of toxicity were caffeine related. Maximum-tolerated doses were 4.2 g/m(2) once daily or 1.0 g/m(2) three times daily.

Tanning devices & Skin Cancer
Tanning devices & Skin Cancer
Tanning devices may heighten the risk for developing basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, according to this population-base, case-control study of 603 basal cell carcinoma patients, 293 squamous cell carcinoma patients, and 540 control subjects. Information was obtained from each person about their tanning device use, sun exposure history, and sun sensitivity. The results revealed that the use of tanning devices such as tanning lamps and beds correspond with an overall increased risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer. These results were not affected by adjustment for history of sunburns, sunbathing, and sun exposure.

Conn.'s unemployment rate back up to 9%
WETHERSFIELD -- Connecticut's unemployment rate ticked up slightly in October, returning to 9 percent after falling below that threshold in September, the state Labor Department said Monday.
A survey of business payrolls estimated that Connecticut added 1,200 jobs to a workforce of 1.6 million. However, a household survey showed the unemployment rate rose to 9 percent from 8.9 percent in September.

Vegas bedding results leave producers ethusiastic
David Perry -- Furniture Today, February 6, 2013
LAS VEGAS - The mattress industry enjoyed a strong market here last week. Retail traffic was robust in leading producers' showrooms and enthusiasm about business prospects this year was high.
With majors bringing out a broad array of new products, retailers saw a bevy of new flagship bedding lines.
Bedding majors gave the market excellent reviews, expressing satisfaction with the size and quality of retail attendance.
Serta, showing a new high-end iComfort line with several new gel technologies, got off to a fast start. "We've been swamped since we opened," said Bob Sherman, president.
With three times more appointments than usual, Serta was looking for one of its best markets ever, he said.
Serta sharpened its pencil in Las Vegas, announcing retail price rollbacks of $200 to $1,000 on some current iComfort models, an aggressive step designed "to make sure our dealers continue their momentum with the iComfort brand," Sherman said.
"There was a lot of excitement in our showroom," said Jodi Allen, chief marketing officer at Sealy. "There has been a huge retail focus on our hybrid line in Posturepedic, as well as our whole new Posturepedic line and our new Stearns & Foster Monogram collection."
She described Sealy's introductions as representing the broadest product launch in its history.
The Simmons showroom was packed as market got under way, with retailers looking over the total of 32 new Beautyrest and ComforPedic models.
"The excitement we are seeing among our dealer base is unprecedented for Simmons," said Gary Fazio, CEO, "and is a testament to the power of the transformation we have undergone. The launch of these 32 beds signals the beginning of the end of our three-year transformation. 2013 is going to be a big year for Simmons."
But a number of producers were disappointed to learn that Simmons has extended its Beautyrest warranty from 10 years to 25 years, a move that could force other producers to match that warranty, observers said.
Tempur-Pedic, introducing four beds at $3,500 and up, including two new air-controlled adjustable comfort beds, had a good show.
"We are extremely pleased with the traffic in the showroom," said Rick Anderson, president of Tempur-Pedic North America. "We are even more impressed with retailers' response to the many new products and programs we introduced. The level of excitement is very high."
Comfort Solutions got a "very strong" reaction to its biggest product rollout ever, which includes a new Flare mattress design that uses flared borders to provide additional sleeping space on any size mattress, said Dave Roberts, the company's president.
"The enthusiasm and acceptance of what we have done have matched our high expectations," he said. "The acceptance of Flare has been incredible."
One bedding retailer told Roberts the Flare design is the biggest innovation in bedding in decades.
Therapedic also had a broad introduction, showing its new Agility hybrid line, a new Kathy Ireland line and some unusually colorful Therawrap models.
"This is the best market we've had in four years," said Gerry Borreggine, president of Therapedic.
Ashley devoted an entire showroom to its new ZZZ's by Ashley sleep shop concept, which features a number of new female-friendly touches.
Also drawing plenty of interest at Ashley was a new innerspring line, a manual adjustable bed that ships in one box, and an adjustable bed in which the mechanism is built into the mattress.
"Ashley is in the mattress business to stay," said Ben Thorud, the Ashley exec heading up the bedding program.
Also reporting strong markets were Fabrictech, with a new aromatherapy mattress and pillow protection line; Restonic and Englander, which both showed several new hybrids; and Symbol, which scored with a new U.S.-made specialty sleep line, Opportunity.
Kingsdown did well with a broad range of introductions, including a new "smart" bed that analyzes a sleeper's movements and automatically adjusts the air chambers to keep the sleeper comfortable, the company said.

I was a psychology major in college. I picked up Computer Applications only because I had to fill my schedule with electives and it seemed like a good fall back plan. A buddy of mine said I would at least give myself an option to get a job in a hot field and I could always go back to grad school or law school. Turns out I did go back to school (business) but I'm still fascinated by people and why we make the choices that we do.
Technology is a choice - how much or how little you want to consume of it. I've seen a number of articles talking about how human behavior is shaped by technology. Hard to disagree with their specific points but, it's way too Pavlovian for me. Although, walk into a conference and you'll see highly trained technologists react (almost sub-consciously) to every bleating whistle, tweet, bell, and ringtone. Might as well set up drool buckets. In spite of this, I don't think iPhones or laptops or tablets shape our behavior. They're clearly a response to how we would like to behave. Seems like a no-brainer but most of the articles I read talk about the merits of the technology. Little or no time is spent talking about if people would feel the technology offers a personal benefit to them.
Example: As an SE I thought I had just given my best presentation on the glories of Snapshots - ever. I had hit all the value props - fast, zero performance hit, instant restores, space savings. It was kind of a "ready, fire, aim" type of presentation so we circled back around to what was really the issue. Turns out, the customer had spent the last two weekends and the previous night wrestling with restores. His wife was getting pretty ticked off that the job was impacting home life. All the customer wanted was a solution that could get him home on time. Everything I had said up to that point: no impact. I never connected the dots between the technology and his motivation. I could have spent the last 45 minutes talking about windmills as long as the punchline was "and it will make sure you get home to the family early."
I'm not discounting analysis on technology trends, specifications, TCO, benchmarks, etc. I think good ideas succeed when they address human motivation. When I joined NetApp (Network Appliance) the catch phrase used to be "Fast, Simple, Reliable." I still like that because it was very easy to make a connection with the customer. Nobody wanted slow, complicated and unpredictable. It was easy to plug in to the sentiment that if you can make my work life easier and less complicated; that it would do what you said it would do, I would have time to do what I really loved to do - whatever that was.
So, with that in mind, here are a couple technologies I think are good ideas doomed to fail:
- Hard Drives - great idea. Fantastic idea. They have served us well for decades. Flash changes everything and the biggest casualty will be hard drives. I don't think they will go completely away. There's always the consumer market! But, hard drives are about as reliable as they are going to get. Data integrity isn't keeping pace with increased density. Random access times haven't changed. You don't see storage too many storage startups using HDD platforms anymore. The number of flash vendors has quintupled over the past few years. Enterprise storage will soon be all-flash. It's not because the technology is cool. It's a cost thing. Why pay more for less? Unless we start thinking that hard drives are a cool vanity purchase, HDD are on the way out.
- Automated Storage Tiering - First, flash kills ATS as we know it today. Why tier disks if all you have is one tier: flash? Caching still makes sense. ATS does not. Second, like all of its ILM predecessors, ATS sounds really cool on paper but at the end of the day people will take a pass. We can't be bothered. It's an atomic ice cream scoop. It's football season and I'd rather watch a game than figure out tiers of storage or read through a few hundred pages explaining how to carefully set up what is supposed to be the technology equivalent of self-leveling cement. If it were just as easy as "just add water" and pour, great. It's not. And, the savings just aren't there. Storage depreciates faster than you can tier. Eventually people get tired of generating reports justifying a decision that should have been self-evident. That's usually when you see someone belch forth a TCO report. Anyone download a TCO report from any vendor on any technology that says their technology is a bitch to manage and costs more in the long-run? Nope - they don't exist. Tiering won't compete with the lower cost and "Fast, Simple, Reliable" message of flash.
- Thin Provisioning - we're lying to ourselves. I know that's not in the marketing literature anywhere but, that's all this is. It's technology fiction. We've invented a technology to help us get over trust and honesty issues. We're essentially lying to our users in order to drive utilization up. At some point we get tired of lying to ourselves. The truth is so much easier to keep track of. We'll eventually get tired of this. Someone at the top will just say, "Look. If utilization has been at 80% for the past three years and nobody seems to be worse for the wear, can't we just give people what they actually need and report on what they actually use?"
Just a few ideas that I think will go the way of Betamax.
