Unbuckling the mailbag:
Question: If UCLA beats USC, will The Times let them be in the Sunday sports page headline?
Phillip Para
Answer: That's a tough call but we can probably make a one-time exception to get UCLA out on the cover, especially if the Bruins beat the Trojans, 50-0.
I'm constantly amused that some UCLA fans can't make the logical connection between program success and how that relates to newspaper coverage.
The reason USC has received more "attention" in the last decade might have to do with the Trojans' winning 12 of the last 13 games in the rivalry.
It's the same reason Napoleon got more coverage for winning battles and a presidential election gets more ink than a race for the Altoona City Council.
It could be noted that in basketball, UCLA's 11 NCAA titles have earned the Bruins disproportionate coverage over USC basketball.
Editorial policy in sports tends to be tied to winning, losing, newsworthiness, interest, readership and web hits.
In the 1990s, USC fans complained about our UCLA coverage when the Bruins were winning eight straight games in the rivalry.
Just look at the numbers: USC has been to seven BCS bowls since UCLA last appeared in the Rose Bowl.
UCLA can dictate more prominent coverage by getting better in football, which it appears to be doing.
The only cheerleading we do at company headquarters is over kickoff times, and I can tell you there were cartwheels performed after learning this year's UCLA-USC game was a noon start.
The worst move in the history of the rivalry was starting this game at 10 p.m. on the East Coast.
It was also a killer on our deadlines and almost prevented us from getting a headline on either team on the front page in early editions.
Q: Please tell me you will poke fun at the Southeastern Conference for their opponents this weekend . . . if you haven't already. Wofford? Samford? Western Carolina? I know there's a couple more . . . oh yes . . . Sam Houston State. Good thing these are home games.
Matt Kovach
A: It sounds like pitchers and catchers are reporting for the start of the SEC's Grapefruit League — except the conference is playing this exhibition slate right in the middle of the pennant drive.
You also missed a couple of key SEC matchups this weekend: Jacksonville State is playing at Florida, Georgia is hosting Georgia Southern and Alabama A&M travels to Auburn.
That's seven games against lower-division opponents on one day. Notre Dame, USC and UCLA have never played a 1-AA (now FCS) team.
The SEC does this because it can. The conference has expanded to 14 schools but still plays only an eight-game league schedule. That gives the SEC unusual flexibility and allows its schools to essentially schedule an extra victory every year.
That does not mean the SEC is not a good conference. Actually, it's still ranked by most as the best from top to bottom.
It does open the SEC to outside criticism, although this year Auburn and Kentucky are so bad they might get challenged by Alabama A&M and Samford.
Some people think Mumford (& Sons) could hang with this Kentucky team for a quarter.
Q: I saw that [Brian] Kelly interview, and he did not actually say "stoop so low" as to campaign for his own team. That was your editorial add-on. And what's wrong with voting his team No. 1 in the coaches' poll?
Jason Arado
Arlington Heights
A: If you liked that editorial "add-on" you should see the bedroom I converted into a home office. I have no problem with coaches advocating for their own teams, but don't you think it's a tad telling that Brian Kelly is the only coach in the USA Today poll voting Notre Dame No. 1?
You think all those other coaches have a special attachment to Oregon and Kansas State?
Or, maybe, the sports information directors who vote in place of most coaches took into account Notre Dame's triple-overtime win over a Pittsburgh team that lost the next week to Connecticut.
Kelly also started campaigning for his school a week after he said he would not campaign for his school, but that's OK, too. The BCS system by design puts coaches in awkward and duplicitous positions.
Q: Keep your volleyball, swimming and water polo titles and the SEC will continue to dominate football.
Ric Etheridge
A: That's a deal. And you can keep Starkville and Fayetteville and we'll keep Santa Barbara and Big Sur.
Q: So the Big Ten doesn't get a slot in the Rose this year?
Ryan Fedor
A: No, the Big Ten gets a slot no matter how much I might not want to see three- or four-loss Wisconsin out here again. I think you're confusing the Pac-12 end of the equation if Oregon is lost to the BCS title case. In that scenario, the Rose Bowl might get to replace Oregon with Notre Dame. So you could end up with Notre Dame against Wisconsin or Nebraska or even a rematch against Michigan.
Q: Interesting to think about whether Johnny Manziel or Marcus Mariota would have won the Oregon job.
Pat McCarthy
A: I think had both quarterbacks ended up at Oregon there would not have been enough "Johnny Footballs" to go around.
Q: How do Northwestern fans live like this? Every game is either the greatest win or the worst loss ever.
A: Almost half my journalist friends attended Northwestern and this has been a rough year for "The Purple People Press Box Eaters." It was almost easier when Northwestern fans knew it was going to be crummy every year because the expectation level was low. (Think nearby Chicago Cubs fans.)
The Wildcats under Pat Fitzgerald are talented and entertaining, though, and the kings of roller-coaster drama.
Northwestern pulled out a one-point squeaker to beat Syracuse in the opener but blew double-digit leads in losses to Penn State and Nebraska.
Nothing compares to the recent overtime loss at Michigan because Northwestern had that game locked up before a Hail Mary pass set up the tying field goal in regulation.
This play just kills me in college football. With time running out, a defender should never allow a receiver to catch a Hail Mary because in college the penalty for pass interference is only yardage.
The NFL penalty is a spot foul at the scene of the crime, but in college a defender should just tackle the receiver in exchange for time off the clock.
Northwestern defensive back Daniel Jones, instead, tried to knock the ball away from Michigan receiver Roy Roundtree, who maneuvered for the brilliant catch.
"I was thinking: Aw, I could have just tackled him and taken the flag," Jones told Chicago Tribune reporter Teddy Greenstein this week.
College players need to have this drilled into their heads before it costs their team a possible trip to the Rose Bowl.
Q: Maybe Nick needs to stop [complaining] about the spread offense and start running it himself!!
John Fuelling
A: My guess is the only "spreads" Alabama Coach Nick Saban will ever care about involve summer-home properties and cream cheese.
Q: San Jose State's bowl prospects? Currently they are 8-2 overall, 4-1 in the Western Athletic Conference (having lost to Utah State). They have two (tough) games left: Brigham Young and Louisiana Tech.
Barclay Livker
A: The Spartans have been under the radar all season mostly because they play in San Jose and the WAC is going out of the football business after this season. That said, third-year Coach Mike MacIntyre has done a nice job positioning the program for its move to the Mountain West.
Brad Edwards of ESPN.com has San Jose State playing Kent State in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl (Detroit) on Dec. 26.
Sounds like a great way to spend Christmas.
The good news is I hear the player gift bag contains build-your-own pizza kits that include pepperoni, tomato sauce and cardboard.

Colorado state law requires that private health insurance or health maintenance organizations cover the cost of screening mammography, based on the American Cancer Society's (ACS) screening guidelines.
The ACS screening guidelines for women at average risk for breast cancer remain beginning at age 40 and annually thereafter. Women with increased risk for breast cancer should ask their doctor about when to begin screenings and how often.
If you receive Medicaid, screening mammography is covered based on the American Cancer Society screening guidelines.
Diagnostic mammograms are generally covered by insurance programs, but you will want to confirm your specific coverage with your carrier.
Some financial assistance through state funds is available to assist women without insurance or who are underinsured. Income guidelines do apply.
For more information, contact Planned Parenthood (970.493.0281) or Salud Family Health Centers (970.494.4040) in Fort Collins. They are the state-appointed agencies for the Colorado Women's Cancer Control Initiative.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

Maria Sharapova beat Czech Petra Martic in her opening round of play at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne. Her 6-3, 6-2 victory was also the debut for her new Nike outfit, the Cross Court Statement. It's refreshing to see Nike go back to using a more sophisticated trim, with gold lines criss-crossing across the front and back of the dress. (Does anyone even remember Roger's gilded Wimbledon shirts?). Note that her shoes also had blue/gold detail.
Speaking of throwbacks, this was Maria's first time playing the Miami tour stop in three years. "This is one of my favorite events," she shared with Tennis Panorama. "It's crazy that I've missed it this many years because of injuries. So I'm just so happy to get back on that court today and just I love playing in front of the crowd. They're so enthusiastic. They love their sports and have that Latin flavor about them. You know, it's fun." She next plays Sabine Lisicki. (Draw: Sony Ericsson Open)

The northern province of Luang Prabang and its eponymous capital are among the most atmospheric and popular destinations in Laos.
The charming city of Luang Prabang, once the capital of Laos and still considered to be its spiritual heart, breathes a rich meld of French Indochinese architecture, Theravada Buddhist temples and a magical atmosphere.
Luang Prabang is strikingly situated on a peninsula formed by the confluence of two rivers, the Mekong and the Khan. Its palm-lined riverbanks, terracotta roofs, golden stupas and saffron-robed monks all come together to form a picture postcard increasingly difficult to find in Southeast Asia. Somnambulant and languid, its peaceful feel masks a history of conquest and recapture, and only hints at the intricate culture and traditional rituals that still take place here every day.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995, the town was described by the global body as "an outstanding example of the fusion of ... Read our complete Luang Prabang travel guide

A birthday surprise
My wife and I went out to celebrate my birthday as we normally do. We drove to my favorite restaurant, which in my opinion has the best steaks in a 40 mile radius.

You grow tired of the same old routine after 40 years of marriage, and she just doesn't want to mess with sex at all. Thus, we decided to live our own lives.

Not all charity balls turn out to be boring.
I hate going to charity balls. You have to get dressed in a monkey suit, they're always so crowded and boisterous that even if you don't have claustrophobia you feel icky, you have to listen to boring speeches, the band is often either too loud or bad, and the drinks are way overpriced. I have no problem sending money to worthy causes I just don't like the events that they think they have...Read On

It would be best to read part one first.
The short drive to the next exit went quickly. I slid my hand into hers as I drove. My eyes kept moving from her face to the road as we talked about the direction that our online friendship had taken. We laughed like a pair of teenagers who had just discovered our mutual affection for one another as we came to the exit and turned onto the country road that would lead us to my house. As I...Read On

Rachel has a night ( and early morning ) to remember
I order Joe to change the disc right this minute. I've stood an hour of his tuneless techno music and I can take no more. "Put something on that has at least a hint of a melody, this is driving me nuts." He throws me an indignant stare, before his eyes go back to the road. "Forgot to bring any other discs, you'll have to find something on the radio instead." I glance skywards and...Read On

Lynette isn't herself when I arrive for a haircut but the reason why leads to an amazing evening.
The Hairdresser (Lynette) I've always hated going to the barbers. Maybe it dates back to some traumatic event in my childhood, like being dragged there screaming by my father, but truthfully, I just don't know. I just know that all through my school years I hated going to the barber. I guess by the time I was in college I was old enough to get over that minor phobia, but I got through...Read On

A real estate agent changes my thoughts about older women.
I guess we all walk around with a lot of preconceived notions about things and, I suppose, for most of them, we carry them with us throughout our life.

When a young woman's fantasy unexpectedly becomes a reality.
My father's former business partner sat behind his large desk as if he was still a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. His graying hair made him look very distinguished, and at 49 he was still quite an attractive man. In fact, he looked even handsomer than I remembered him when I was younger.

Quite a few years ago my wife had a affair with a guy and we moved away to begin a new life. We were in California at the time and moved back to the northwest where I was from. We had bought a travel trailer in California so had our own home. When we got up to the northwest, a friend of mine told us we could park it in his back yard as we had been staying in a trailer park.

Volunteers Make a Difference
"I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people convinced that they are about to change the world. I am more awed by...those who...struggle to make one small difference after another."
- Ellen Goodman, American journalist

A Crescendo of Percussion
The first musical instrument in human history was probably a member of the percussion family. This group includes any device that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken or scraped—drums, bells, chimes, cymbals, wood blocks, congas, pianos, xylophones, washboards, whips, pistols, typewriters—to just name a few. Percussion is often the heartbeat of musical ensembles -- setting the pace and keeping the tune in time. Drums, the most ubiquitous, have many uses including communicating over long distances, motivating troops, inspiring emotion, and providing color, texture and rhythm in music.
The Crusaders brought kettledrums to Europe from the Middle East in the 12th or 13th century. Kettledrums, also known as timpani, are now a staple in classical orchestras and many types of music ensembles. Jean-Baptiste Lully, a French composer who lived in the 17th century, wrote the first known score for timpani in 1675. During the 19th century, percussion instruments became an important part of the orchestra, as can be heard in the works of Beethoven, Brahms, Tschaikovsky and Wagner. Hector Berlioz, a French composer who was born in 1803, further enlarged and diversified the percussion section. He created a percussion orchestra within the orchestra and one of his works uses crash and ride cymbals, large bass drums, tenor drums, kettledrums and church bells.
New Releases:Some Titles to Tempt You
Blood Sweat and Cheers: Great Football Rivalries of the Big Ten by Todd Mishler
Food for Thought
A lot of cooking and eating goes on during the months of November and December. Whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas or Kwanzaa, the holidays bring family and friends together and food to the table. Many of you have favorite family recipes that you prepare and look forward to enjoying year after year. But, if you're looking for something a little different this year, the following are just some of the brand new cookbooks you'll find at the library that just might tempt you to try something new:
Best Make-Ahead Recipe/Cook's Illustrated Magazine
Heartfelt HolidaysThe three major American holidays that always occur in December are Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. The choices of books connected with these holidays are many and varied. Some of the favorite classic December holiday books have to do with "heart."
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is a classic example of a story showing the "heart" of Christmas: goodwill, generosity and kindness. One reason that A Christmas Carol is so touching is that most people have had or known someone who has had holidays where they feel "Bah! Humbug!" And all of us have felt "grinchy" on occasion. Dr. Seuss's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is one of the best stories for young children on this theme. In the beginning of the story the Grinch has a very small heart; not only does he resent other people celebrating Christmas, he actually tries to stop Christmas from happening by stealing all the presents, decorations and food, including the "roast beast." At the end, he realizes that Christmas will happen in spite of a lack of presents, decorations and food. "The Grinch's small heart grows three sizes that day" as he learns that the true meaning of Christmas is good will and enjoyment of others' gladness during the holidays.
Herschel and the Hanukkah Goblins by Eric S. Kimmel describes Herschel's triumph over the goblins which try to prevent the village people from celebrating Hanukkah. Through perseverance and cleverness, Herschel banishes the scary goblins from the synagogue each evening, thereby insuring that the menorah candles burn throughout the eight days of Hanukkah. This story reflects the miracle that happened in 165 B.C. during the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem, when one day's oil burned for 8 days. Herschel, like many main characters in Hanukkah stories, has "heart," meaning courage and determination.
It's Kwanzaa Time by Linda Goss is an excellent introduction to Kwanzaa, which is a celebration of the "heart" of a people and the individual. Stories, poems, songs, recipes and a craft depict the importance of the seven principles of Kwanzaa: Unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith. The seven stories clarify the principles in a way that young children can understand. For example, the unity story is about seven brothers working together to achieve family unity. The styles of several distinguished African-American illustrators, including Ashley Bryan, Leo and Diane Dillon, and Jerry Pinkney, visually portray varied facets of African and African-American heritage.
The holiday theme in the Children's Library this December is "Heartfelt Holidays." Please visit the library to view the decorations and check-out a few "heart-warming" books.

Welcome to the Vollum Institute/OHSU Neuroscience Graduate Program
Founded in 1992, the Neuroscience Graduate Program at OHSU has 47 predoctoral students and more than 140 faculty in a broad range of subdisciplines. The program is intended for students planning a career in academic or industry research, but we encourage student to explore the career path that matches their ambitions and expertise. The program is particularly strong in cellular neuroscience, neuronal signaling, gene regulation, biophysics of channels and transporters, sensory systems, and neuroendocrinology with increasing strength in developmental neuroscience and disease-oriented neuroscience research. Faculty members are located within research institutes at OHSU including the Vollum Institute, the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC), Oregon Hearing Research Center, Jungers Center and the Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology (CROET); as well as the basic and clinical departments in the OHSU School of Medicine.
Congratulations to Kateri Spinelli, PhD, NGP alumnus, who was recently selected as a Society for Neuroscience Early Career Policy Fellow! During this one-year program, Kateri will continue doing research full time in her post-doctoral position at OHSU, but will also work to advocate locally and promote public dialogue around neuroscience research. The goal is for young scientists to become effective advocates for science, and SfN will provide tools and training to fellows to develop communication skills that enhance public engagement in neuroscience. All fellows will have the opportunity to attend SfN Capitol Hill Day in March, where they will interact with policy makers to convey the importance of funding neuroscience research. Over the year, Kateri plans to partner with the OHSU Brain Institute and the Oregon chapter of SfN to share with other scientists what she learned at Hill Day, and to engage the public in local neuroscience news, including exciting advances in research and policy/funding decisions that effect neuroscience at OHSU.
Congratulations to Vollum Institute scientist and NGP Faculty member, John Williams, on the 2013 OHSU Teaching Excellence in Graduate Education Award. This honor is awarded by OHSU graduate students through student nomination and voting. Congratulations, John!
Isabelle Baconguis, 2012 NGP Alumna, has received an NIH Director's Early Independence Award. This program supports "exceptional students who have the intellect, innovation, drive, and maturity to flourish independently without the need for traditional postdoctoral training." Thirty-one candidates were selected as finalists for this award, based on the quality of the graduate work, training environment, and potential as an independent investigator. Isabelle's proposal received high praise from the reviewers which speaks highly about the NGP, her training with Eric Gouaux, her project on ENaC structure, and, most importantly, Isabelle's potential as an independent investigator. Congratulations, Isabelle!
Jason Christie, 2004 NGP Alumnus, scores first grant awarded by the National institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the NIH. This NIH Research Project Grant Program (R01) is for $2.1 million over a 5 year period. The project will focus on dissecting mechanisms driving axonal transmission and how disruption of these processes will impact the understanding of neurological disorders and the development of therapies. Dr. Christie is a Research Group Leader at the Max Plank Institute for Neuroscience in Florida.

Nice hypothesis, you may say, but is it true? The heart of the scientific method lies in that skeptic's simple question. A merely plausible explanation of what we observe will not suffice, nor will a hypothesis bolstered only by some expert's endorsement. Modern science is wonderfully egalitarian, and it demands proof that all can see: measurements, objects or evidence of some kind. Scientific hypotheses must be both well-defined and firmly supported, preferably by several different types of data.
If a hypothesis meets these requirements, does this mean it is true? No, according to the philosopher Karl Popper, who believed that hypotheses could never be proven true—only false. Frederick Nietzsche claimed that the great charm of hypotheses was that they were refutable. While Nietzsche may be correct in the abstract, my experience suggests that scientists do not gleefully bury hypotheses in which they have invested many years of research.
In the study of human evolution, dueling hypotheses are commonplace because of long-standing, frequently erupting feuds about the interpretation of the fossil record. The field is so argumentative, in part, because the theories reflect directly on the nature and origin of humans. There is immense room for giving and taking offense when the subject is oneself. Too, the primary data of paleoanthropology—fossilized remains of our ancestors and near-relatives—are rare and difficult to obtain. Hence, it is not a simple matter to collect more evidence to clarify or support hypotheses. Fossil hunting requires tremendous knowledge and effort, good organizational skills, substantial grants, and a huge dollop of luck. New theories are, sadly, easier to come by than new primary evidence.
Thus it is a joyous occasion when my paleoanthropologist colleagues appear to resolve one of the most bitterly debated questions in the discipline: the issue of when, where and how modern humans evolved. For simplicity, I use "modern humans" or "recent humans" to denote the species to which I (and all the readers of this magazine) belong, but the formal term is either "anatomically modern Homo sapiens" or "Homo sapiens sapiens." Humans who lived in the past and did not have modern anatomy are often referred to as archaic or primitive.

Pacific Merchants scours the globe to find distinctive and durable tableware. That includes its own Acaciaware line: Every bowl is hand-turned from one solid piece of the richly grained hardwood, and every serving piece is hand-carved, making each item a unique, sculptured work of art.

Why Ron Paul and Mark Spitznagel will not go quietly into the Republican night
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Ron Paul speaks during a campaign event. He plans to go to the Republican National Convention in Tampa and be placed on the nominating ballot.
Mitt Romney may be the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, but Texas congressman Ron Paul never planned to go away quietly before the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August — and neither did one of his staunchest supporters, L.A. hedge fund investor Mark Spitznagel.
It's partly Spitznagel's doing that Paul held out for delegates at one of the campaign's final acts, the Nebraska state Republican Party Convention, which took place a week and half ago, more than a month after the state's primary. (Paul failed to gain a plurality, dooming his chances at speaking in Tampa.) All along, the hedge funder helped keep Paul in the race, both by raising money and by providing the campaign with intellectual oomph.
Spitznagel, who runs Universa Investments, which he founded in 2007, lives in Bel Air and operates out of an office in Santa Monica. Why is the Michigan native so far out west, anyway? After all, hedge funds are supposed to be in Connecticut. Or at the very least, Manhattan. That wasn't Spitznagel's scene. "I wanted to get out of that groupthink of Wall Street," he said on the phone recently. "Everyone there is crammed into a handful of blocks." But it's perhaps more than just the non-NYC quality of L.A. that has made it a comfortable place for Spitznagel.
Ron Paul takes his pro (medical) marijuana message to UCLA
I guess you could call it a sort of "tennis court oath." Ron Paul, the Texas Congressman who's running for the GOP presidential nomination, spoke at the UCLA's Los Angeles Tennis Center last night. Watch to end to hear Dr. Paul's rousing endorsement of the states' right to set (medical) marijuana free!
Follow Matthew DeBord and the DeBord Report on Twitter.
Nassim Taleb is SO down with Ron Paul
President Obama might have, most of the time, big-gun public intellectuals like Paul Krugman and Robert Reich in his camp. Mitt Romney has Harvard economist Greg Mankiw advising him. And Ron Paul? Mr. Black Swan himself, Nassim Taleb, says that Dr. Paul is the only candidate who's "saying the right things" and has the "guts" to take on the Federal Reserve.
Not surprisingly, it actually seems pretty black and white with Taleb. He's worried about hyperinflation (not regular old run of he mill inflation-inflation, mind you). And he thinks that the only way to fix the financial system to treat government like cancer — in the video above, which I picked up from the Paul campaign's website, he refers to "metastatic" government at least twice. Taleb is himself a cancer survivor, so you can understand his metaphor in that light. But there are plenty of other people who are making this argument. That said, they don't have Taleb's intellectual heft.
Meet Mark Spitznagel, Ron Paul's L.A. hedge-fund guy
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
LE MARS, IA - DECEMBER 30: Republican presidential hopeful U.S. Rep Ron Paul (R-TX) speaks during a town hall meeting at the Le Mars Convention Center on December 30, 2011 in Le Mars, Iowa.
Ron Paul — Republican presidential candidate, GOP congressman from Texas, father of Sen. Rand Paul, libertarian, and dogged foe of the Federal Reserve — is touching down in Los Angeles on March 20 for a fundraiser. If you think Paul, with his desire to return the U.S. to the gold standard (bimetalism, actually, using gold and silver) and his tendency to subject Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to lengthy disquisitions on inflation, is a litle bit different, just wait until you get a dose of the guy who's hosting this Bel Air shindig, at the former residence of Jennifer Lopez.
He's Mark Spitznagel, a very successful hedge-fund manager whose Universa Investments is based in Santa Monica. There are hedge-fund managers and there are hedge fund managers. Spitznagel is definitely in the latter category. He plies his trade in an exotic corner of the industry, making huge bets on statistically improbable events, now colloquially known as "black swans," after the 2007 book of the that title by Nassim Taleb.
Ron Paul v. Ben Bernanke: Is that a silver dollar in your pocket?
The most entertaining episode from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony before the House Financial Services Committee this morning came — Surprise! — when Texas Republican and GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul launched into one of his patented long-winded spiels about the evils of the Fed, the senselessness of fiat currencies, and the value of "real" money: silver and gold.
Bernanke took it all in stride. The video above doesn't have reaction shots that are quite as good as this shorter broadcast from ABC, so check them both out. You have to hand it to Bernanke, he seems to enjoy the roastings he gets from Paul, in strange sort of way. And he fires back, ever so gently, at Paul's allegations that we're experiencing 9 percent inflation (according to older pricing measures) when the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) says it's only around 4. (They've been here before.)

Alderson Broaddus University has been named one of the Best Regional Colleges in the South in the 2011 edition of "America's Best Colleges" released recently by U.S. News & World Report. Alderson Broaddus University is ranked 22nd in this year's edition. The institution is also ranked 7th in the South in the category of "Great Schools, Great Prices," the only school in West Virginia to be named.
"Once again, the U.S. News & World Report college analysis has appropriately selected Alderson Broaddus University for achievement and recognition," said Dr. J. Michael Clyburn, former President of the college. "The report supports the school's identity as a college with smaller class sizes (79%), personal attention, caring environment, and a high percentage (86%) of full-time faculty."
Alderson Broaddus University's honor of being the only West Virginia College to be named in the "Great Schools, Great Prices" indicates that Alderson Broaddus University students are receiving a great value in relation to the cost of attendance. Only schools ranked in, or near, the top half of their categories are included.
"The report also accurately portrays Alderson Broaddus University as an affordable southern regional college where students (91%) experience low tuition and generous need-based grants," explained Dr. Clyburn. "Report data provide undeniable evidence that AB University offers value and personal support for students pursuing quality higher education."
Highlights of the college rankings will be published in the September issue of U.S.News & World Report, available on newsstands August 31. The 2011 Best Colleges guidebook will be on newsstands August 24. For more information on the America's Best Colleges 2011 Rankings, log on to www.usnews.com

I recently found a version of this bat labeled as 100% composite. We were able to swing that version, and get a feel for it. Other than material, is there much of a difference between this version and that one?
The 2014 Rawlings Plasma: YBPLMA Youth is a one-piece alloy bat. The swing weight would be comparable to other balanced Rawlings models. I am not sure which composite model you are referring to, perhaps the Rawlings Mach. The Mach is a fully two-piece composite model which would differ from the Plasma in materials and the two-piece design.
Does this bat have more of an extended barrel that the Easton S300?
The barrel on the 2014 Rawlings Plasma (YBPLMA) is going to be slightly more extended than the barrel on the 2014 Easton S300 (YB14S300).
Besides appearance, what is different with this bat compared to the 2012 and 2013 models?
The only difference between the 2014 Rawlings Plasma: YBPLMA Youth and the previous models is cosmetic differences.

Called Strikes out of the Strike Zone
The first column indicates the total number of pitches the batter has taken outside of the pitchFX defined strike zone. The second column shows what percent of taken pitches out of the strike zone were called strikes. Six New York Mets made the list - that's nearly a quarter of the top 25. Call it the Madoff effect. Oakland comes in second with 4 batters making the list. The majority of these pitches are located off the outside edge of the zone as the following graphic indicates.
Here's a list of the batters that have had the least "non-strike" strikes called against them.
It's interesting that Jeff Francoeur gets the smallest percent of bad strikes called against him. The RHB ranks in the bottom 6% of the league in chasing pitches out of the zone. Umpires apparently appreciate his free-swinging ways.

Redmond >Food & Dining > Typhoon! Redmond
8936 161st Ave NE, Redmond, WA | Directions 9805247.681686 -122.125524
Neighborhoods: Downtown
Worst Thai Food Ever had Opportunity to Try – Great location and ambiance for business and atmosphere but severely disappopionted in the food quality and preparations. Portions are significantly smaller than any other Thai Restutrants in the whole state and way to expensive for what you get. Don't even bother getting appetizers which they call "nibbles" because you'll be in for more disappointments. Overall, good atmosphere like most other Thai Restuarents but food is terrible and expensive, be warned...
TASTELESS OVERPRICED FOOD – The food was not worth the price we found it "average" at best..So if you're looking to share an entree.FORGET IT! The portion sizes are so small that they barely give you enough for one person.And this is coming from someone who has eaten in alot of Thai restaurants. I have to give them credit though for their pretty impressive look.But unfortunately,that all there is to it.
Good food & ambiance – Used to go to Typhoon in downtown Seattle and just discovered the Typhoon in Redmond - great place to go just before hitting the movie theater next door but it's busy on a Friday night - allow time. Good food - consistent!
Huh? How did every order get screwed up? – About a month ago, me and 2 co workers went to Typhoon for lunch. Personally I have not been to this location in over 5 years. No real reason, just have not. Well, unfortunately I now do have a reason for making it another 5 or more years before I return. My co workers and I were seated out on the patio. Our waiter came over to take our order, and I could not help but notice that something seemed slightly off with him? He was acting...a little slow. We shall just say that. Anyways, my co worker ordered the Panang Curry (zero stars) I ordered the Drunken Noodles (as hot as I could order them. I love spice) My other co worker ordered the Dungeness Crab stir fried rice (he orders this every time he comes to Typhoon) All 3 of our orders were wrong in some way. My co workers Panang had my super hot spice in it and I had her zero spice. I had to request a spice tray and apply liberally as there was no spice at all. The Dungeness Crab fried rice, came out as Dungeness Crab Phad Thai. My co worker sent it back, but had happily noticed the heaping pile of crab on top. He of course thought when the new dish came out the crab would be piled on as well! Not so much. When the new stir friend dish came out, he had to dig and dig and dig to find a few small morsels of crab. When he called over management and said the "wrong" dish had piles of crab, and now the "correct" had but maybe a few morsels of crab, the manager looked at him and literally could have cared less. Our waiter throughout the meal hardly stopped by and when he did, he just looked...slow...and well...not all there.
We all left dissapointed as our bill was about $50.00 and all 3 meals were wrong in one way or another.
It might have been an off day for them, but still no excuse to mess up all 3 orders.
Don't waste your money here. – This place used to be good a year ago, but not so anymore. The past several times I've come to eat here have been very disappointing. The phad thai is almost tasteless, no spice, and they don't ask you how many stars you'd like. We are only given water if we ask for it, and the waitress did not refill our drinks at all. The prices are way too high for the bland food you are getting, and doesn't include any rice. The swimming rama consisted of soggy lettuce and no spinach, and only a few small pieces of chicken which I was charged extra for. It's very clear that all the effort at this restaurant went into the decorations instead of the food or service. I will not eat here again ever. Look around for a more authentic Thai restaurant.
Good Food...so so service – Food here is quite good. My favorite is the basil curry with tofu...delicious. Yellow curry and the King's curry is good too. During the fall and winter seasons, they offer the pumpkin soup which is lip smackingly good. I love the fried banana dessert.
Service here is quite spotty. If you are lucky, you will get a great waiter...other time, you get a terible one and have to suffer long waits and messed up orders.
Good Service, Great Atmosphere, Average Meal – This is my first time to Typhoon! We had a large party of 12 people for Dinner last Saturday night. Our waitress was attentive and patient. Which is sometimes tough with such a large group. The decor is well done, modern, yet colors are warm and inviting. The menu has a large variety of Thai style cuisine to choose from and a huge tea menu. We all ordered something a little different and shared plates. For the most part the flavors were well done. The chicken entrees tended to be quite dry. The Forget-me-not curry with pork was tender and flavorful. The crab phad thai wasn't the best I ever had, but was acceptable. Salmon was well executed. The Chicken Curry was dry and not as flavorful as I would have liked. The Tom Yum Goon soup had a nice lemony flavor and a spicy kick, but there were only 3 prawns in it and the chopped chicken was dry. It doesn't look too appetizing when it comes to the table either. The potstickers were tasty. You have your choice of white or brown rice. After hearing about the Espresso creme brulee we had a couple of orders. It was tasty, but there was barely a hint of coffee flavor. Still worth eating though! Overall we had a nice dining experience, but I'd stick to the basics when ordering.
Worst Thai Food ever – This had to be the worst Thai food I have ever tasted - and I have eaten in a lot of Thai restaurants. My wife ordered halibut, which was dry and overcooked and served with a sour sauce that tasted like vinegar and cilantro. She actually felt sick after she got home. My masaman beef dish looked like beef stew, except for the lack of vegetables except for a few carrots. The prices were very high too. I don't mind paying high prices if the food is excellent - but this was terrible. By the way, the parking is non-existant because of the nearby movie theater. I won't be back here ever, even though it is the closest Thai restaurant to my home.
Elegant Thai restaurant in Redmond offers the same treats as its Seattle sister. – In Short
Chef/owner Bo Kline and her husband Steve have white linen napkins and black iron tea pots decorating tables; thick bamboo poles serve as room separators. A gigantic open kitchen allows for a show, though usually the display is less than dramatic. Start with the authentic Thai miang kum: spinach leaves serve as wrappers for any combination of toasted coconut, ginger, lime, peanuts, chilis, dried shrimp.
Delicious!!! – Typoon! in Redmond is one of the best Thai resturants I have been in. It is well known for its delicious food, elegant and romantic atmosphere, and the coconut/mango ice cream :o) Though Redmond is not the best place for dining, Typoon! makes it all a little better...

Topics Covered: water flow, pollutant leaching, water cycle, water budget, water management
Submitted by: John Pritchard, Grover Cleveland H.S., Ridgeway NY
I have to give credit to the NYC Department of Environmental Protection for this lab. This is a real easy way to model what goes on in a watershed. It takes less than a period to complete. I use large lasagna pans --one for every 2 or 3 students. Students crumple up paper and make mountains inside the pan. They cover them with plastic wrap. This is now the shape of the land. The plastic also becomes the impermeable rock below the surface. Students then add paper towel and soak it with a spray bottle. Watch the movements of the water. This paper towel could be soil or snow. Finally a drop of food color is added to the highest point. This is a pollutant and you can explain leaching, etc. Cleanup is just throwing everything out. A real simple activity with lots of critical thinking questions. I also have a project added to the end that did not work well. I wanted the students to draw the watershed that they made. Problem was that most have not taken Earth Science and therefore don't know how to draw topographic maps. I was disappointed with the results and won't try it again unless I find time to teach the topo maps. Otherwise, this is an excellent lab.
lab sheet, foil tray, newspaper, clear plastic, spray bottle, paper towel, food coloring.
Answer the questions as you proceed: Leave room in your lab book for an abstract.
working by yourself or with one or two partners...
Reproduce your watershed sketch (or create a new one) on a piece of oaktag in color and elaborate on questions 12 and 13. Name your features and your watershed. If you know topographic map symbols (including contour lines), you are encouraged to use them. Your report must be typewritten, double spaced and a MAXIMUM of 7 pages and a minimum 3 pages.
