Round 10
The battle all chess fans waited to see at the 2012 U.S. Championship did not disappoint. GM Hikaru Nakamura beat GM Gata Kamsky for the first time ever in classical chess to take over the lead by one-half point with one game to go. Nakamura has 7.5 points to Kamsky's seven.
Playing Black in round ten, Nakamura chose the Najdorf Variation of the Sicilian Defense because he wanted a volatile position. During their last encounter, at the Tata Steel Tournament in January, Nakamura's Dragon Variation did not produce any winning chances. Today, he needed more from the opening.
Kamsky uncharacteristically labored in the opening, spending more time than his opponent for one of the first times in the event. He spent 30 minutes after 11...Na5.
Lacking his usual confidence, he was down 45 minutes on the clock a few moves later.
Later, Nakamura won a pawn, but refused to go for more.
In the post-game press conference, Nakamura said that he was not sure of the complications arising from 25...Nxc3 26. bxc3 Qxc3 27. Ng4 Qxa5 28. Nxh6+ gxh6 29. Qg4+ Kh8. While it seems Black is simply up an armada of pawns, white can chase the black queen around the board until she gives herself away for two rooks. Nakamura said he thought it was still technically winning, but he was worried about his king's safety. The alternative plan from the actual game left Nakamura up the exchange, but with a different set of difficulties ahead.
"Optically the knights are very strong, but at the same time, they don't have very many squares," Nakamura said. He wanted to avoid an endgame where one of Kamsky's knights would sacrifice for his lone queenside pawn, as an ending with pawns on only one side can often reduce winning chances.
The defending champion's lack of time came back to hurt him on the 40th and final move of time control.
According to Nakamura, 40. Kh4 is an unrecoverable mistake. The forcing sequence beginning with the pinning of one knight and the sacrifice for another led to Kamsky searching fruitlessly for counterplay against the inexorable march of his opponent's a-pawn. While Kamsky attempted to conjure an attack with his limited material, Nakamura did not need any moves to rebuff the plan, and simply marched onward with his pawn.
"A lot of moves Gata played in this game surprised me," Nakamura said, adding the opinion that neither he nor Kamsky is playing his best at the championship.
Nakamura thought that he was due for some good fortune, as he had better positions in several of the games that he drew.
Tomorrow, Nakamura assured everyone that he was out to win, as he gets white versus GM Yasser Seirawan. If he is able to do so, he will clinch the title, his first since 2009. Kamsky meanwhile needs some help to win his third consecutive championship. He will likely need to win as black against GM Robert Hess, then get some help from Seirawan. Should there be a tie at the end of the 11th round, the playoff will be Sunday at noon Central time.
All other games Friday were drawn, except GM Alejandro Ramirez, who beat GM Alex Stripunsky. GM Alex Onischuk retained his position in third by easily drawing GM Varuzhan Akobian.
Games round 10
Round 11
After 11 exhausting days of play at the 2012 U.S. Championships, one champion has been decided, while one will require another day. GM Hikaru Nakamura took 30 moves to beat GM Yasser Seirawan today to become the 2012 U.S. Champion. It is his third title and his first since 2009.
"It has been a long two weeks," Nakamura said. "There's a lot of pressure to perform. I feel a lot of relief." Nakamura was the top-seeded player and according to the live ratings list, he has now pushed his rating to 2782.6, a personal best. "If I hadn't won, I'd be pretty depressed."
Nakamura reverted back to 1. e4. He used it to win several games earlier in the tournament. Seirawan, a four-time champion, differed from his usual Caro-Kann and played the French Defense. After a 10-minute think, Nakamura unleashed 2. f4 to get the game out of charted waters. Seirawan said later it was new for him.
"This tournament is a tournament of firsts for me," Seirawan said. "And I've never faced f4 before."
Nakamura's capture 10. Bxf5 produced a critical moment for his opponent. Since ...g6 had just been played on move eight, Nakamura said it was natural to continue by recapturing with the g-pawn. Seirawan did just that, however upon reflection his isolated h-pawn ended up being a liability. Very short on time, Seirawan could not find a defense to the impending discovered checks on the dark-squared long diagonal. He expressed "instant regret" on his choice of which way to capture on f5. "It's just a totally bad grovel," Seirawan said.
Nakamura had ideas all over. "He had play on both flanks," Seirawan said. "My position was in some ways carved in half. I was defending on both wings. My position is like a sieve."
GM Gata Kamsky, who acquiesced the lead to Nakamura yesterday by losing their head-to-head game, drew against GM Robert Hess to earn clear second place with 7.5/11. GM Alex Onischuk was third with 6.5/11 and tied for fourth were GMs Varuzhan Akobian, Yury Shulman and Alex Lenderman. Shulman's one win and ten draws makes him the only other undefeated player besides Nakamura.
GM Ray Robson's even score of 5.5/11 was good enough for seventh, while Hess grabbed eighth (5/11) and GMs Gregory Kaidanov and Alejandro Ramirez shared ninth (4/11). GMs Yasser Seirawan and Alex Stripunsky tied for 11th with 3.5/11.

Great tournament win by Naka who showed that he was in a class of his own.

I like his chess, but Hikaru has to be one of the most arrogant chess players in the game... Can you think of any others?
Congratulations to the team in charge of the on-line coverage.
The color commentary by Finegold and Shahade was not only informative, but lively and humorous. Not an easy task when anchoring so much footage each day.
The player interviews by Klein were great. A cut above the usual dross. Well done getting more than the usual one word answers from the players.
I happened to be watching when Kamsky uncorked his preparation against Seirawan. Great viewing.
Overall, it was a new benchmark for live coverage.

Hardly Lee. The americanisation of chess event is super nauseating and definitley not popular with real chess followers. As for Finegold and Shahade dont make me laugh...I wont even say well done to the ''american'' winner as he is the most annoying of all and hugely unpopular outside of the US and rightly so.
I was really hoping Kamsky would take out the event. Nakamura is just one of those guys that rubs the wrong way.
Maybe the commentary wasn't to everyone's taste, but that doesn't surprise nor bother me. I'm struggling with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam's efforts at the WCC myself but I'll just work through that minor annoyance.
Mike doesn't like Americans it seems--an acceptable bias on chess web sites
I have been playing and following chess for fifty years and this was exciting and good chess.
Arrogance comes with the territory, from Fischer to Kasparov.
Nakamura is personable and friendly in person and makes himself available to all sorts of people before and after games and often plays in the skittles room for hours after a tournament.
So, speak for yourself and stop pretending like you represent the world outside the USA..you don't.
I am from Sicily myself, and he is as much loved and respected there as he is stateside.
Americanization? I don't understand what you mean. Real chess players all over the world followed the tournament. Who cares if you didn't like the format or if you think Nakamura is annoying. It was a good result and he played some good chess. If you got over your bias, you'd see it.

I am outside of the US and Naka has a HUGE number of followers; who cares if he is arrogant or whaterver people want to point at; his chess is attractive and that's what counts.
Kasparov wasn't less arrogant and nobody cares.
Mat, Naka would not be considered arrogant if he played for Japan.
Note that discussions of Naka's arrogance is almost always accompanied by references to his nationality.
Some people think that Kasparov is arrogant also; but of course no one ever says "Kasparov, that arrogant Russian"

The US style of commenting chess is quite ridiculous, especially when Shahade shows up. Compare to Shipov and you will see what I mean.
Nakamura has not half of the class of Kasparov, who wasn't arrogant at all.
1 year 11 months ago
"Kasparov, who wasn't arrogant at all"
Buahhhah! You lose all credibility when you make a comment like that.
But this style of commentating is much more thrilling and fun, instead of a russian who "just" cares about chess. Fans want to hear funny things around the players and so on. It's just another world but I like it (and many others also - so you are in the clear minority - go to shipov and watch 3 hours deep analyzing and have fun with it =)
hahahaghagha....is this meant as satire?
because as a sincere statement it is supercilious.

I don't find anything special in the final standings. The top seed won it, which is quite expected.

With Naka's tournament win and Anand's loss today, Nakamura has edged out Anand in the live ratings! I wonder if Anand will take this opportunity to quote Nakamura's tweetline: "After seeing people picking up rating points off of beating weaker players, I am convinced chess ratings should be weighted like in tennis."

I have met Naka twice. He didn't know me from Adam and yet he was very nice. While talking to me kids came up and he signed books for them. What more can you ask?
Exactly I one saw him playing with a very little chessboard at the opening gala of dortmund. This little kid brought his chess set to him and asked for a battle and Nakamura took the challenge. So he might seem arrogant to somebody but if you look a bit closer he is a smart, funny and normal guy.
1 year 11 months ago
Perhaps regarding his arrogance he is just shy and doesn't know how to take compliments and comparisons.
Take for example how classy and witty both Carlsen and Aronian are, they don't try very hard but are still brilliant.
Aronian is definitely a class act and also well-spoken. I've interviewed him on a couple of occasions and he is very personable as well.

I wish all chess events had the coverage the U.S. championship had. I loved it. Although that picture of Naka makes him look like the new host of Masterpiece Theater.
Grandmaster Lubomir Kavalek did a nice column on the recently concluded U.S. Championships and highlights some nice games and brilliant moves: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lubomir-kavalek/us-chess-champ-hikaru-nak_...

Arrogance comes naturally in chess. If you aren't arrogant, you are confident, so you aren't good.
Be humble all you want, but chess is like mental boxing. Would you be humble in real boxing?

That said, I don't think parenting (by itself) has much to do with it (of course, unless the parent is the abuser).
Think about how many children are abused by teachers, coaches, priests, scout leaders, other family members--all of those seem pretty traditional to me.
Kids who are growing up in poverty, with substance abuse and parental neglect are profoundly vulnerable to precocious and exploitive sexual experiences, usually starting in early childhood.

I've had several in for years, and no issues. It would have been best to reset the flange on top of the finished floor where it is supposed to be. You could add an extender ring to bring it up, then use a standard wax ring.

Creamy cannellini bean soup with jalapeño gremolata
2/3 cup dried cannellini (white kidney) beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 whole dried red chillies
2 scant tablespoons vegetable bouillon powder
1 scant teaspoon dried thyme
1 scant teaspoon dried marjoram
juice from 1 lemon
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
2 large jalapeño peppers, stems removed
zest from 1 lemon
Rinse the beans under cold running water and soak overnight covered in several inches of water with a little yogurt whey or lemon juice added. Discard the soaking liquid the next day and transfer the beans to a medium saucepan. Add 2 1/2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour or until the beans are soft and buttery. Remove from heat and set the beans as well as the cooking liquid aside.
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. When hot, toss in the onion, dried red chillies, and vegetable bouillon powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the powder from sticking, until the onions have softened. Add 2 1/2 cups of water, as well as the beans and reserved cooking liquid, thyme and marjoram. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes to let the flavours mingle. Remove from heat and purée in a blender or with a hand blender. Stir in the lemon juice and add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (be careful with the salt — many bouillon powders are already very salty, and you may not want any additional salt).
To make the gremolata, put the jalapeños into a food processor and process until well chopped. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the lemon zest.
Serve the soup in bowls with a generous spoonful of gremolata scattered on top. Serves 4 to 6.
Creamy Cannellini Bean Soup with Jalapeño Gremolata
White bean soups are most thought of as winter staples, but a bouquet of fresh garden jalapeños and lemon zest burst out of this cannellini bean soup like a blast of summer sunshine. Quick, simple, and delicious at any time of year.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blackboard Inc. (Nasdaq: BBBB), a global leader in education technology, announced today that a wealth of multimedia content from NBC News - covering decades of historic and current events - is now accessible to educators and students through the Blackboard Learn(TM) platform.
Through a partnership with NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, thousands of K-12 and postsecondary institutions in North America now have access to NBC News Archives on Demand, enabling them to more effectively engage 21st century learners with digital content directly in their online courses.
With this unique resource, educators can easily search for instructionally relevant content about real world events - including audio, text and short-form video files - that can be embedded directly into courses on the Blackboard system to enrich the learning experience in a wide variety of subject areas.
As a result, educators can complement courses and lectures with historical and up to the minute video clips and other content on topics ranging from politics, the economy and climate change to health issues related to pandemic preparedness including the H1N1 influenza. Students get to participate in a much richer and more engaging course experience and can use the content and resources to support their own research, project work and presentations.
"I'm using the archives to help students place what they are learning in a real world context," said Mark Rains, an associate professor at the University of South Florida. "Very few of my hydrogeology students will go on to practice hydrogeology, but they will all live in a world in which the limited availability of water triggers a range of environmental and social implications. We read and hear about these problems in the media, but few really understand how to connect that news to the underlying principles of their academic work. I previously struggled to bring real time, real world content into the classroom and I'm hoping the NBC Learn Archives can help change that."
"We are excited to offer these exceptionally rich multimedia resources for the benefit of educators, students, and lifelong learners," said Ray Henderson, President of Blackboard Learn. "NBC's brand as a news authority combined with the superb production values of their footage will help educators craft richer and more contextually relevant courses for their students. Providing access to NBC News Archives on Demand is an important step in our strategy to assemble the world's best digital content for the Blackboard community."
In addition to regularly updated audio and video files of news events throughout history, NBC's digital content includes primary source documents, photos, articles, transcripts, analysis, and mini-documentaries that can be used to support instruction in a wide range of subject areas.
"By making the rich resources of NBC News available to educators and students, we are taking another step to bring the digital age and today's interactive media culture to the classroom," said Lisa Gersh, President of NBC News Strategic Initiatives. "It's often been said that journalists help write the first drafts of history. Now, through NBC News Archives on Demand, history can come alive in the classroom."
NBC News Archives on Demand is available as a free Blackboard Building Block(TM) from the Blackboard Extensions catalog.

The musical drama is written by Randy Vader, Jay Rouse and Rose Aspinall and directed by Lynn Rice. It is acted by members of the church. Music is delivered by the church choir and orchestra. Angela and Mike Dickert narrate.
"The musical tells a beautiful, worshipful account of Jesus and the promised birth," said Don Gober, minister of music.
Rice believes it also focuses on Biblical moments most people haven't stopped to think about.
"To me, it shows how the lives in that period of history were impacted," Rice said.
Truly, the news touched people in different ways. The angel's news to young Mary before her marriage was both wonderful and terrifying. But she accepted the message, it is written in the Scriptures. In this drama, Mary, played by Jamie Anderson, finds peace — even praise — and is able to set Joseph's doubts to rest. Joseph, the carpenter, is played by Kevin Anderson.
But what would others think about the angel's news? According to Mosaic law, an unfaithful betrothed maiden would be stoned to death. Mary and Joseph struggle with what this means to their future as they prepare for the journey to Bethlehem in the "Journey and Prophesies" scene. In the end, Joseph realizes they are blessed by God.
Perhaps Joseph finds it helpful talking to the men of Nazareth (Jake Mathews, Richard Bateman and Greg White) on a hillside about the events of the day.
Simeon and Anna's reaction to the newborn child provides affirmation that this birth is a divine event. Anna, a prophetess and widow played by Sylvia Malone, is humble but confident of her faith and works in the temple every day. Simeon (Dale Smith) is an aged man who is also in the temple every day, sitting and waiting for Christ to be born. Once he holds the baby in his arms, he finds his peace, Smith said.
"Simeon was the only one who recognized the babe as the Messiah without being told," Smith said.
And Anna, at age 84, must experience the happiest day in her life when she sees the baby in the temple. But her story doesn't end there. According to texts, Anna tells the good news to all of Jerusalem.
Everyone is invited to the musical.
Holiday music revue Thursday
The music of the holidays will come to life on stage in "Fa-La-La-La-La," an evening of song directed by Kim Dobbs on Thursday at Garfrerick's Café. Dinner is served at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Singers Maggie Beam, Caleb Clark, Jeremy Reaves, Angie Robinson, Jason Wright and Jackie Young will perform standard ballads and songs in modern and traditional styles. Also featured is 7-year-old Ramsey Whitney. Music will be performed by Gena Vineyard and Tracy Tyler, with musical direction by Eric Traynor. Tickets are $45 per person. Call 256-831-0044 for reservations.
A good ride
The holiday celebration, with its parties and time with family, makes for a good ride, people say. But a good ride, literally, was had Dec. 8 in downtown Anniston when John Wiggins of W&W Stables in Southside provided a wagon and Clydesdale horse to carry adults and children down Noble Street for pictures and pleasure. He's provided this kind of old-fashioned Christmas fun for 10 years with an Amish-built carriage that carries 15 people or a wagon that carries six, he said.
The Christmas festivities continue again this Saturday from noon-3 p.m. along Noble Street in downtown Anniston. For details, contact Spirit of Anniston at 256-236-0996 or visit spiritofanniston.com.

Arson is suspected in a fire that damaged a West Side home early Tuesday morning.
San Antonio firefighters were called to the home on Fran Fran Street just after 1 a.m., and arrived to heavy smoke and flames. Firefighters put out the blaze and no injuries were reported.
Investigators said no one was home at the time of the fire and they believe it started outside.
Damage estimates and a cause for the fire were unknown as 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Jay Terry grabbed his sheet of paper and started filling out his puzzle, oblivious to the curse.
Assigning jersey numbers isn't the Nebraska equipment manager's most important duty. But it's essential to a happy, functional football team. So in the summer of 2012, Terry greeted incoming recruits with his list of available numbers — and his list of numbers that were off the table.
Take No. 22, for example. Rex Burkhead wasn't changing, so that number was a no-no for any new offensive player. Same for Taylor Martinez's No. 3 and Kyler Reed's No. 25 and so on.
But good news, young men: You can have No. 11. Or 28 or 35 or 84.
Some recruits come in and don't care what they wear. To others, the jersey number is sacred. It becomes part of their identity, the stamp on every TV graphic, the exclamation point on every autograph. (Imagine Tommie Frazier wearing No. 18. Or Eric Crouch wearing No. 2.)
Sam Cotton took No. 84, left open by Brandon Kinnie's departure. Mo Seisay took Lavonte David's 4. Avery Moss took Jared Crick's 94. Michael Rose took Alfonzo Dennard's 15.
How 'bout you, Jordan Westerkamp?
When the Chicago native showed up in Lincoln, he wanted No. 81. That was the number Randy Moss, his idol, wore with the Patriots. That was the number Westerkamp wore in high school when he broke all the major receiving records in Illinois.
One problem: Senior Ben Cotton already owned 81. Seniority rules.
Westerkamp considered his options: 20, 26, 36, 99. Ugh. What about this one? Khiry Cooper had worn it in 2011, but he'd since left the program. Hmmm.
No. 1.
Little did Westerkamp know that his new number was the apple in the Garden of Eden, the Scarlet Number on his chest, the most infamous jersey in Husker history. Yeah, No. 1 looked good on paper, but careers — and sometimes lives — had crumbled beneath its weight.
It all goes back 95 years to an All-America receiver from small-town Nebraska, who became one of the most influential figures in Husker football history.
It all goes back to the Curse of Clarence.
* * *
Fact: 17 Huskers have had their jerseys retired. None wore No. 1.
Fact: 98 Huskers (wearing 64 different numbers) have earned All-America honors. None wore No. 1.
Fact: 514 Huskers have earned all-conference honors. Only two wore No. 1. One was a kicker. The other stained the greatest five-year run in college football history.
Before the ACL tears and ruptured discs, before the depth-chart demotions and prison sentences, No. 1 belonged to a kid from Wakefield, Neb.
Clarence Swanson stayed home his first year after high school, 1917, before analyzing the NU football team and deciding, "Hell, I'll beat those guys out." He did.
|Join the conversation on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
According to the 1921 university yearbook: "Swanie" is a natural leader of men and is bound to be successful as captain of the 1921 Cornhuskers. He played a hard game at the left end position and was given mention in All-American selections. His specialty is taking passes beyond the goal.
He captained that '21 team to a 7-1 record (NU's only loss came at Notre Dame, 7-0). In Swanson's last game, he caught three TD passes, a record that stood for 50 years until Johnny Rodgers matched it.
Swanson later became only the fourth Husker to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
So where's the curse, you ask.
Well, Swanson's impact on Nebraska football didn't stop in 1921. Fast forward 40 years to Bill Jennings' firing. "Swanie" was on the Board of Regents.
New Athletic Director Tippy Dye thought he had Jennings' replacement in Hank Foldberg; the two had worked together at Wichita State. But Foldberg chose Texas A&M instead, leading to a goose chase that foreshadowed Steve Pederson's coaching search 42 years later.
One of the emerging candidates was a fiery Irishman named Devaney. When he sneaked into Lincoln (under a fake name) to interview for the job, Swanson twisted his arm: "Bob, if you come here and win, you'll never be sorry. These people want to win that much."
Devaney grudgingly accepted. He went 9-2 the first year, won the Orange Bowl the next and celebrated countless victories with his close friend, Swanie. On Dec. 3, 1970, 29 days before the Huskers' first national championship, Clarence Swanson died.
That's when the curse kicked in.
* * *
From 1921 until Swanson's death, only three Huskers wore the No. 1. (A quick check of old rosters at other programs like Oklahoma indicates that single-digit jerseys were outlawed most of that span).
But in 1972, cornerback Zaven Yaralian picked El Numero Uno. Apparently he recognized the curse, because he soon switched to No. 15.
Since Yaralian, 27 Huskers have worn No. 1. Their careers are a Who's Who of Coulda Beens and Never Weres. Some suffered a mild strain of the curse:
Adi Kunalic, whose golden foot made him a ballyhooed recruit, hooked the most important kickoff of his career out of bounds against Texas in 2009.
Khiry Cooper and Chris Brooks were highly touted receivers who barely saw the field, combining for 30 career catches.
Zack Bowman, the top junior college recruit in the country, blew out his knee in 2006, then ripped up the other one in 2007.
Josh Davis grabbed No. 1 when he earned a starting job as a senior. Then he rushed for fewer yards per carry than any NU starting I-back in 30 years, losing his job to Cory Ross.
Eric Johnson dislocated his shoulder in each of the last two games of the season, got smart and switched to No. 27 as a senior.
Kareem Moss came to NU from junior college, wore No. 1, got smart and switched to No. 29 as a senior. His interception of Frank Costa clinched a national championship.
Will Thomas, Broderick's little brother, quit the team in 1991. Dave Schneider, place-kicker on the 1983 team, had a chance to boot more extra points than anybody else in the country. But he missed one against Missouri and Tom Osborne gave his job away. The next year, Schneider quit the team.
Others suffered a more serious strain:
Thunder Collins was supposed to be the next great Nebraska I-back. But after he flipped the ball to Mike Stuntz in 2001, he was suspended four games in 2002 for NCAA violations, then quit the team a month later. Now he sits in jail convicted of first-degree murder.
Taylor Gehman, twice the state's leading prep tackler at Omaha Northwest, was one of three freshmen in 1999 to bypass a redshirt. Five games into his career, he ruptured a disc in his neck, endured intense pain and quit football a year later.
Frankie London pushed Scott Frost in 1997. But instead of leading NU to national championships, he lost the starting job in 1998 to Bobby Newcombe, moved to wingback and broke his leg returning the first punt of his career. Following surgery, he found himself behind Newcombe again — this time at wingback.
Mike Grant is best known as the fifth-year quarterback who endured heavy criticism from fans in 1992. Tom Osborne insisted he wasn't making a QB change — until he did. The replacement: Tommie Frazier.
Of course, the most infamous No. 1 of all is also the most accomplished: Lawrence Phillips.
|Want the latest Husker headlines delivered straight to your inbox? Sign up for email alerts!
It takes a nasty kind of curse to besmirch the 1995 Huskers. But Phillips did it, ruining the most promising career of any Nebraska I-back. He carried the curse to the NFL and now sits in a California prison.
Phillips, of course, is an extreme case. Most members of the No. 1 club have become productive members of society. Great family men. But on the football field? It's hard to shake the curse.
Dale Klein managed. He put on No. 1 in 1985 and twice lost his starting job. But he rebounded to make a record seven field goals against Missouri and earned All-Big Eight honors.
Still, he's an exception.
Swanson first donned No. 1 in 1918, the same year the Red Sox won the World Series. But the Curse of Clarence has outlived the Curse of the Bambino.
When Harvey Jackson, who wears No. 1 on defense, lost his starting safety job this fall, I figured the curse might endure forever, victimizing generations of innocent freshmen with big dreams.
And then Saturday happened.
* * *
On Nov. 2, 1920, Nebraska went big time. For the first time in school history, NU traveled to the East Coast. The goal, NU officials said, was to become a national program. Expand the brand.
That Tuesday at the Polo Grounds, a speedy receiver from Wakefield, Neb., introduced himself to the nation's largest media market and the Cornhuskers throttled Rutgers, 28-0.
"They grow something besides corn out on the prairies of Nebraska," the New York Times wrote. "An avalanche of football warriors descended yesterday upon the unsuspecting Rutgers eleven at the Polo Grounds, a great, husky, fearless mass of gridiron terrors ..."
On the 93rd anniversary of Swanson's breakout performance, Jordan Westerkamp lined up wide right, sprinted downfield as time expired and waited in the end zone, as if he knew exactly where the ball was going to bounce.
He leaped, snatched it and squeezed it against the No. 1 on his chest, securing his first touchdown and sending a sound wave across Lincoln that may have startled Mr. Swanson in Wyuka Cemetery.
Did one Hail Mary catch reverse the Curse of Clarence? I don't know. But when I pulled Westerkamp aside Monday morning and gave him a history lesson, he gave a hint.
You badly wanted No. 81 when you became a Husker, I said. You think you'll ever go back? Westerkamp, his hat backward, shook his head.
"I think I'll stay No. 1."

I wouldn't go here – I went to buy products there and the owners were really rude. There were very pretentious and if you look around, it's nothing to write home about. I will keep going to the aveda salon in Palo Alto. I also asked about services prices and they were ridiculously high. Maybe the stylists there have had a lot of years of experience, but they certainly don't look particularly up with the times. This is not what I would expect from an aveda salon.

"Having a baby in Febuary made this a perfect choice. The winter white and gold was a the answer to the fact that my daughter did not want to know if it's a girl or boy. I had to stay away from the blue and pink choices when designing a baby shower invite. It was elegant. I was also able to squeeze a sentence in about bringing a book for the baby's library instead of a card with a note from our guest. The staff was helpful with editing that fit perfectly. It did cost a bit more to mail because it was square but not much. I loved it."
"It was a difficult purchase ONLY for the fact that there were so many beautiful invitations and fonts to choose from. This invitation turned out great. Its cardstock is thick and the colors are bright. Purchase was completed without a hitch! I definitely recommend this product."
"This is a beautiful invitation. The card stock is heavy and the texture is smooth. Others had said the print was hard to read but I didn't find it that way. I will indeed order again from Tiny Prints."
"This is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" inspired card we picked for the shower. It has all the colors we were looking for. Very pleased wit all the options that were available with this card. I would definitely use Tiny Prints again!"
"Everyone loves the invite. We are having a children's literature themed shower, and I was looking for an invitation that reflected the theme, but wasn't "demanding" our guests bring a book. This is perfect! On the back I posted the option to bring a book instead of a card, and also the honoree's address, which is out of state, in the event they were ordering online. I am really happy with quality and design of this card. To me it feels of imagination and wonder- like a good storybook! I wanted the shower to be about the baby, not mom and dad, which is also why I chose this card instead of an invite with male and female graphics."

If you think acupuncture is just for hippies and new age health nuts, you might want to reassess your view of the marines. The Navy has lately been experimenting with acupuncture to treat symptoms of PTSD, concussion, and other ailments associated with extreme physical stress.
Cmdr. Keith Stuessi, the man in charge of acupuncture at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan, has used the ancient Chinese technique to treat more than 20 patients, with a shockingly high success rate.
Acupuncture is normally used to treat muscle aches and minor sprains. Its use as a treatment for brain injury and the mental and emotional problems of PTSD is relatively new in the military.
Considering the low cost and the great potential for providing relief to soldiers, however, the Navy is apparently pretty enthusiastic about it and has already committed itself to providing acupuncture as a standard method of treatment. The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting studies on its effectiveness in treating symptoms like sleeplessness, memory problems, headaches, and anxiety.

Continuing its strategic expansion in Asia, Miami-based Carnival Corp. said Wednesday it will station two of its Princess Cruises ships in Japan in 2014.
The cruise giant had previously said that the 2,022-passenger Sun Princess would sail in Japan. That ship will sail from Otaru, a northern coastal town, as well as Kobe
Diamond Princess, with room for 2,670 passengers, will be based in Tokyo for a series of nine-day cruises that include stops in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Russia.
The two ships will sail between April and October. Princess Cruises said some changes will be made for the deployment, including having Japanese-speaking crew members in key positions; adding cuisine that will appeal to the local market such as an a la carte sushi bar and noodle bar; offering regional tea tastings and a special sake menu and creating enrichment programs and events for the local market.
Parent company Carnival Corp. said in a statement that the plan is to grow the market in Japan to 100,000 passengers.

These are by far the softest I have ever had and we just love them!
Bought these for my mom who is cold all the time. Washed up nice and are very soft. She likes how she can get in her bed and it's not cold. Very warm and comfy for her.
At first look these appeared to be a little flimsy, but they are wearing well. The color matched the online color and the fabric is comfortable.
I was so glad I could purchase additional pillow cases for the sheets. Usually that is not possible. Also the larger sheet sizes come with extra large pillow cases and it was nice to be able to purchase the standard size.
We needed new pillow cases and decided to try these out. They have been very comfortable.
You can get the same thing much cheaper almost anywhere, I should have done my homework
Color did not match the sheets. They were large which was great.
Smooth weave, comfortable to sleep on. Nice value for the price.
Lovely pillowcases! I ordered the deep red color, which is exactly as it appeared on my computer screen.
The sheets are soft and wrinkle free as promised - with wide pockets for large mattress. Nice color too.

Anniston police Capt. Allen George said the 60-year-old woman's home was damaged in a fire on March 16. The home is located on the 1100 block of Sydney Street, according to a police report. The report states the victim paid $9,000 to the remodeler on April 8.
George said the woman has been unable to get in touch with the man since the payment was made. The captain was uncertain whether the man was a licensed contractor.
Police were still investigating the incident today, George said.
A suspect could face first-degree theft charges, a felony, according to the report.

I worked at Kimberly-Clark as a contractor for less than a year
Pros – OK pay... and that's it
Cons – Where do I start.. When hiring you for this temporary customer service position they tell you it will be at least a year with a GREAT chance of being hired on directly. While there, numerous employees were being cut every day, after only being there for a few months, for no reason at all except "it's for the good of the company". The management does not take the time to get to know you. They will cut you in a second without thinking about it, and without care of your current situation. They're shifty, dishonest, and indirect. They'll never let you know what's going on with your own job. If you ask questions they'll cut you. You leave work every day not knowing if you'll have a job the next day. Would not recommend!
Advice to Senior Management – Be honest, and start actually caring about your temporary employees! They're people too, who need jobs and rely on this one for at least a year! Just because they are temporary, stop treating them like dirt. Follow through with what you tell them during the hiring process. Make them feel welcome, and like they actually matter! Making your employees wonder every day when they'll be the ones cut, is not a way to run a successful business!
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Duke Blue Devils
Although Duke has mostly struggled since the mid-1960s, the Blue Devils are currently undergoing a renaissance under Cutcliffe. Duke is the defending Coastal Division champion, having secured their first division title on November 30, 2013 with a win over arch-rival North Carolina. Additionally, the Blue Devils cracked the top 20 of the BCS standings, the AP Poll, and the Coaches' Poll during the 2013 season and very nearly scored an upset over a potent Texas A&M team in the 2013 Chick-fil-A Bowl, losing by only four points after jumping out to a 38–17 lead at halftime.

Look at hecartha's post on Page 3
This illustrates the problem perfectly
UPDATE 3/21/12 ::: Shoelace strokes come from
my pen tip and eraser, also this is commonly seen in the
Wacom Tablet Properties "customize" pen pressure area which is not any software
but wacom driver software.
As seen at the end of this Wacom Forums thread :
http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1760 :it is a current issue
with some intuos5 and is an example of shoelaces in the driver software.
Things I've tried already:
-Yes the pressure read out goes to zero immediately
-Photoshop CS5 no smoothing(effect appears at beginning of strokes)
-disabled OpenGL
-Corel Painter 12 calibration
-disabled all pen feedback(win7 Ult. gpedit.msc)
-Old drivers new driver all drivers
-I've tried everything... trying more things...
INSTRUCTIONS TO TEST YOUR TABLET: If you have any Wacom tablet product and a driver that can test pen strokes (if not get the latest at the EU site)
Go into the "Wacom Tablet Properties" and do fast and high pressure pen swipes to see if your marks loook like those shwon below,
Post if you do or do not have this issue, please state OS.
Thanks, greatly appreciated.
I've posted about this before, but i think the new wacom software shows something new.
Using an Intuos 4 with various software.
This problem has been plaguing me for a long time now.
I'm referring to weird stroke ends in ANY software and very alarmingly the wacom driver stroke test area.
I have the latest driver, my nibs are new.. the inside of my pen is clean..
my tablet surface is clean.
I have disabled ALL windows 7 features and flicks and whatnot using GPEdit
and other ways.
Here is a series of using the intuos 4 making fast... medium fast ... strokes.
this seriously affects sketching and line work, even if it doesn't I want to know whats wrong with my expensive hardware and software......
does anyone have this problem?
assistance needed :<
So CS5 with out smoothing works but shoelaces now appear at the beginnings of strokes
and OpenCanvas in general works but OC lacks Photoshop awesomeness
The last 2 images however REALLY worries me... ive been uninstalling and installing with my intuos plugged or unplugged ALL night.
If the DRIVER software is picking this crap up ... thats not good right? i mean i dont know.

I'm getting this as well- it's only with the felt nibs, however. Disappointing on my new intuos 4- the only time I care about line quality to the point that this bothers me a ton is when I'm drawing, and I use the felt nibs to draw mostly (friction!). Kinda kills the whole point of the felt nib.
Oh well, they don't last long anyway (the nibs, the tablets do!)
"She took the ice cube trays out of the freezer. What kind of a sick bitch takes the ice cube trays out of the freezer?"
From my experience it seems like a software issue. Some software (i'm looking at you Adobe) don't seem to recognize all the levels of pressure sensitivity very well and so you get this effect.
I use Corel Painter for my inking and it's BRILLIANT, especially after brush calibration.
The best thing you can do is reduce the Pen's sensitivity by making it firmer (take it up two notches) and setting the brush to airbrush. It should help a bit. Then increase the size when you need larger strokes. Depending on your setup you may need to turn of brush smoothing. I'm using CS5.
try removing your pen nib and pushing it back, it might get stuck/not properly inserted inside, resulting in the small trail at the end of strokes ( = looks like you lift up pen from surface, but nib still keeps pushing the pressure sensor for a moment)
also, what HugeBlack said.
on the fourth day of glitchmas my painter gave to me
four random crashes, three broken brushes, two system hangups & one corrupted workspace
Weird. I have this problem with my Graphire 3 lol õ_o
It shows much more in Photoshop (I have CS5) with smoothing, but even without smoothing it happens, the difference is instead of happening on the end of the strokes, it shows on the beginning.
But I usually prefer SAI, where it only shows if I use the pen (hard-edged solid)
I thought it was because it's you know, a Graphire 3 and Photoshop generally hates it D:
I would never make the pen firmer though... it makes Photoshop so much worse to work with for me. In fact I can only use it when I turn the sensivity up a lot.
I also thought maybe it had to do with how used my pen nib is (7 years) but if you have a Intuos 4 with a new nib...
Tried what ikken said, no changes.
Have you tried asking Wacom about this?
Last edited by Elciled; March 10th, 2012 at 10:04 AM.
I'm experiencing the same shoelace effect on a new intuos 5 touch large.
Tried all the different nibs, tried different photoshop brush settings but it's still there.
Hey at least we are the best at drawing shoelaces.
This didn't happen on my intuos 3
There's a topic on the wacom forums about this: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1760
A wacom rep replied with this:
"You might have a defect in the pen, when it returns to zero pressure with a delay. You can check this in the tablet driver diagnostics. If it is a hardware problem send the pen to our service center for replacement.
If it appears ok in the diagnostics, move the tip feel slider towards 'firm'. Also try different brushes in CS4."

Yes the same problem here, I don't think is a hardware problem (I mean not from the pen at least) I just disable the smoothing and it works ok.
something to try as well - go to wacom tablet preferences, click "about", hold "alt" (on mac os) and click "diagnose"
you'll see a new option, called "pressure offset", and a numeric field:
(I have no idea why mine is set to "2"; more on this setting @ google, but iirc, you can cut off a certain threshold of pen input, to minimize random stroke appearance;
messing around with it will not magically destroy your wacom by all means)
on the fourth day of glitchmas my painter gave to me
four random crashes, three broken brushes, two system hangups & one corrupted workspace
There doesn't seem to be a Pressure Offset parameter on the intuos 5 diagnostics window, even when holding in alt or any modifier key when selecting it.
I tried to make some strokes in my laptop and work ok in PS CS5 with smoothing but the difference between the PC and the laptop is the version of the wacom tablet drivers, in my laptop I have the original drivers that came with the tablet.
Out of curiosity, are any of you running ATi graphics cards?
nvidia 560ti here
i like corel but usually go with photoshop or my autodesk sb express... im new to this and getting acclimated corel seems really cool though . how does brush calibration work?
also making it firm with an intuos4 ive seen is a bad thing, what with the nibwaer. ive altered the sensitivity to save nibs and so this clonflicts with that. no matter what the hard/soft setting for w/e reason CS5 with no smoothing works so this throws off everything lol, why does it work here and not on the driver/properties pad.
so all in all probably not hardware, if it is hardware then i'll see what i can do in the repairing /mail wacom department,
oh wait... isee the shoelace at the beginning oh NOOO now i'll never un see it >.< !!!!! gahh
and wow ... 7 years nib? ..awesome.. intuos4 could never lmao.
yes apparently someone else asked wacom and alll in all it seems to be some defect you need to mail your pen and replace it to fix this issue...
YES i knowww right?? i wish i never sold my intuos 3 i would give up those pressure levels for non shoelaces...
ive seen this thread its where i got the name "sholace effect" haha it was perfect!
yeah so it seems i need to mail them my i4 grip pen... but can all people afflicted even the guy with an intuos5 have defective pens? doesnt seem right...
i think ive tried this before...
im going to FULLY uninstall and wipe and erase my tablet form my pc and use the intuos4 original disk and see what happens, thank you
Thank you all for your responses this really helped, so possible solutions so far are:
1. Photoshop CS5 with no smoothing (end of strokes are good but now shoelaces at beginning at stroke)
2. Go to tablet properties and diagnose (can this work with PCs? i cant click it)
3. Possibly a pen defect.
@ Sporus
The amazing thing about Corel Painter is it calculates the average amount of pressure and speed you draw your strokes with and adjusts all the brushes to match. Here's a post on it http://goo.gl/KeaXk
When i use CS5 for art (which i don't do much or at all anymore) i normally have the Wacom Tablet Properties window open as well so i can adjust the tip feel as i work. I know, it's troublesome that's why i moved to Painter.
Using painter i have never had to adjust my stylus (even opacity or size of brushes) when i'm working (pencil sketching or inking). The only time i adjust something is when i'm painting. However using Corel Painter is not for the faint-hearted the program is as unstable as my last relationship. But the ability to shade with the side of your stylus and mix colours like real paint is well worth it.
Good luck.
@ Arshes Nei
sorry can't check it atm. I'm away from my tablet right now, but I have windows as a 2nd OS and I'll check it before end of week.
on the fourth day of glitchmas my painter gave to me
four random crashes, three broken brushes, two system hangups & one corrupted workspace
This is amazing also when you use it you have to hit the scratch board for each brush or each time you feel like recalibrating right?
when youre on the circly scratch board does yours just show one blue color in different sizes?
I mean why does the tut's blog guy have his scratch board with circles varying in size and color? possibly just a different brush? i was calibrating acrylics and junk.
ALSO i didnt even know there was a pressure sensitivity thing for Corel I was just using brushes with static sizes that remained the same!
So this adds the pressure sensitivity AND makes it perrfect!
THANK YOU Possible viable solution Painter 12 Brush Calibrator
So i think its shift+ctrl+alt ... and when do you hold?
when double clicking the "Wacom Tablet properties" shortcut or..
the "About" button or hold as you click "...Diagnose" ???
Also would this help? when i see the greyed out version i see pressure offset but its empty. would adjusting that affect the strokes?
All in all it seems like this is a very weird allusive issue... First and foremost I'd like to have nice strokes on the Driver "wacom tablet properties" scratchpad i say this because this should be the direct wacom software to the tablet and correct me if im wrong and shouldnt care about this and just be happy Corel 12 and CS5 with no smoothing half works...
Thank you guys so much!!! I really appreciate the help also to anyone still afflicted and not wanting to buy Corel Painter 12
I found this on my searching http://www.cartoonmonkey.com/TabTip_TamerV3.htm
its called TabTipTamer_V3.exe and I haven't explored it fully but its worth a shot... and sound pretty cool.
EDIT: Also this problem is so weird!!! It cant be hardware! It just cant... If so many people have it and if its intuos4, if more than a handful of people are having this issue that means somethings wrong, all our pens can't be defective.
So if its software... what must we do?!
I wish I could install my Intuos4 on a mac or something, I'm going to install it on different computers and see what happens.
I hope a lot of people click on this because I think a lot of people may have this issue and not realize it.
I really regret selling my intuos3, although it may have the same problem now but at least i could test it out...
need to do a survey.
I'll keep you guys posted, anyone who is dealing with this shoelace effect, thanks for the input. it is invaluable! Thanks again.

^ I made some screencaps, hope this helps:
first, you go into "about" window and see this:
hold control and click the "diagnose" button, you should see this:
note added "recalibrate" button and pressure offset
but I'm not sure it's available for intuos 4, because wacom are known for software locking some driver features.
on the fourth day of glitchmas my painter gave to me
four random crashes, three broken brushes, two system hangups & one corrupted workspace
I tried with the latest drivers, and no such luck on either the intuos3 or intuos5.
I wasn't able to get the offset with Windows7 with an earlier driver before I installed the latest one (since I use an intuos3 with a laptop) either.
^ that's strange, I have it working with both mac os and windows xp.
by the way, there's a similar issue with intuos 3 described on wacom boards
(did anyone from this thread post there as well?) -
wacom's reply at the 2nd page suggests it might be a pen defect.
on the fourth day of glitchmas my painter gave to me
four random crashes, three broken brushes, two system hangups & one corrupted workspace
I'll try again with just ctrl when i get home... also i have virtual machine Windows XP on my laptop so ill install it there too it should work there.
I really wish I could do it on windows 7 though. Does anyone know if you can boot just and only Windows XP if you have it via virtual machine on something that primarily runs windows 7? as in ... i could boot up from XP?
Cuz that would be great!
That "recalibrate" button looks like the answer!!! but I've been having fun in Painter12 ... i dont think its better or worse than Photoshop its just suits my fancy. Although painter 12 is a bit laggy for my 4gbRAM laptop.
Anyway thanks for the screens I appreciate it!
EDIT: after looking at the intuos3 thread i'm worried and confused... So it may just be a pen defect... i had more faith in Wacom, i didnt think so many people would have received hardware defective pens...
hmmm... If youre wacom warranty is out can you still send in for repairs? also I may buy an art pen...to solve this.. they look cool
i got all the updates from the site... how do you get .1250?
Also youre running win7 with wacom intuos3 and no issue like the shoelace?
just wanted to make sure.
thanks for this
EDIT: wait nvm... my windows program viewer says .727 but when i open Corel and go to "about" i see version 12.1.1250 ... odd lol
ahhhh good ol' Corel Painter 12. Strokes look good, now if i could just work hard and get better at art.....

@ Sporus
You can re-calibrate all brushes at once by going to Edit>Preferences>Brush Tracking or just CTRL+Shift+,. When you do this the changes affect all the brushes instead of just one. You don't have to re-calibrate your brushes every time, painter saves the last re-calibration you did.
Ha i see you are enjoying painter's inking. I recommend you try the Smooth Camel brush. You'll love it. That's what i use.
My scratch board shows just the blue colour dots. I think his is the Mac's.
Yeah Painter is an amazing piece of software. I would be the defacto digital artists tool if only they are able to clean it up a bit. As cool as painter is i don't use it when i have close deadlines or in a bad mood.
"i don't use it when i have close deadlines or in a bad mood."
and yeahhh... it is a little rough, why is that for you? lag and stuff?
ive got it fully updated and whatnot and cores set to 1. i have RAM usage at 50% , my laptop has an i3 processor and 4gb ram... its still quite laggy, especially with the eraser... anyway it was weird i opened up PS CS5 and it must've noticed i was using painter... it was pretty smooth lol.
I might be getting one of the new iMacs if money dictates, , thanks again that was helpful
^ mac painter 12 still doesn't have 64-bit support.
it should be added before painter 13 rolls out, but I was really disappointed by 12's performance tbh.
on the fourth day of glitchmas my painter gave to me
four random crashes, three broken brushes, two system hangups & one corrupted workspace
I have a shoelace problem, I was wrong it wasn't my nibs (or at least isn't anymore). Was stunted for a brief while, but now came back with a vengeance. Nvidia card as well.
Painter is AWESOME for lines, still.
But this seems to be photoshop related, and not Wacom related, I totally agree.
EDIT: And though not completely related to the problem at hand, but possibly related to it being a graphics card issue- does anyone else have incredibly jagged edges at certain resolutions? I mean like REALLY ugly looking pixelated edges? I zoom in a level or 2 and it smooths out. Yes, anti-aliasing is on, no I haven't zoomed in past 100%.

I'm back in Winnipeg now, so regular access to all my teas! (Though I do miss Ireland quite a lot.)
I mostly drink black teas (anything with cinnamon is fantastic), with a few white teas as well.
