obviuosly she is an attention seeker but i quite feel sorry for her. im not a fan fan of hers but looking at the before and after pictures, im quite dissapointed as she was so beautiful before. U cant blame it all on heidi though, as America is full of people who judge her by her looks, and they bully you if your not pretty. Its not fair on her or any other celebrity. I think if shes happy with the plastic surgery, then good for her, but i hope she doesnt do anymore as she is putting her life at risk. Maybe if she stopped the attention seeking and just stayed in the background for abit to concentrate on whats really important, then people will start to like her....Heidi, get your life sorted before you do drastic things again. Also, I think shes better off without spenser. Everyone has found out who he really is, and to be honest he needs to leave her alone. Hes a nasty peice of work! :/

Sekope Kepu key Wallabies inclusion
Greg Growden
September 4, 2013
Sekope Kepu has a big responsibility to carry in the front-row © Getty Images
Wallabies players are not renowned for boasting strong overall Test success rates. That's because of the big, bad All Blacks boogey man.
But Quade Cooper knows what is required to beat the Springboks, as shown by him being involved in seven victories in his nine Test matches against the Springboks - including triumph in his last five. So he was a natural to return for the Nelson Mandela Challenge Plate Test at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday. This is the perfect time for Cooper's reappearance after he was snubbed during the final months of Robbie Deans' reign.
Starting Cooper against the All Black was always going to be dangerous due to the baggage. The horrors of the Rugby World Cup 2011 tournament remain. Working him off the bench during the Bledisloe Cup was a wiser move. But now back in his own domain, in front of a fawning home crowd, this is the arena where Cooper can truly perform. No inhibitions here. It is time for him to strut and hopefully reward the faith of his long-time provincial coach by providing Ewen McKenzie with his first Test victory.
Cooper's promotion over Matt Toomua should not be treated as a slight on the Brumbies playmaker. It is simply a horses-for-course approach, and Toomua will get many more opportunities to control the Wallabies attack.
McKenzie has also taken the right steps in demoting Jesse Mogg to the bench and moving Israel Folau from the wing to fullback. Mogg remains an uncertain resource, clearly struggling with the pressure during the Bledisloe Cup Tests and Super Rugby final. He needs time to think about it all, and work on certain parts of the game, in particular his defence and counter-attacking skills. Maybe his provincial coach, Jake White, was right when he said several months ago that Mogg wasn't quite ready for Test football. He will be, but not right now.
Folau at No.15 is in the right spot for him. He showed that during the final rounds of the Super Rugby tournament with New South Wales Waratahs. But it is also up to Folau to inject himself more into the game. He can blame team-mates for not getting a fair go on the wing, but not at fullback. The attention is right on you, Izzy.
Quade Cooper is back in the starting side for the first time in 12 months%]
And the value of club football is rammed home yet again with Nick Cummins moving onto the wing. No doubt the "Honey Badger" confirmed his selection by excelling for Southern Districts in the Shute Shield elimination final against Randwick at Coogee Oval on Saturday, which included a spectacular acrobatic try just in front of the legendary Mark Ella Stand.
Let's just hope that the new Test tight-head prop, Sekope Kepu, has better initial memories of the Springboks international than of the fixture at Coogee. Kepu went on as a replacement and, just seconds on the field in his first set-move, was part of a Randwick scrum decimated by their opponents, resulting in a tight-head victory and from that a Southern Districts try.
That moment was a reminder of what will be crucial in Brisbane. The Wallabies' set-piece has to be up to it. So far this season, it hasn't.
Wallabies: Israel Folau; Nick Cummins, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Christian Leali'ifano, James O'Connor; Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Ben Mowen, Michael Hooper, Scott Fardy; James Horwill (captain), Rob Simmons; Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore, James Slipper (Queensland Reds). Replacements: Saia Fainga'a, Scott Sio, Ben Alexander, Kane Douglas, Jake Schatz, Nic White, Matt Toomua, Jesse Mogg.

Power failures spark interest in backup generators
Residential standby generators run on natural or propane gas and are permanently hooked up to a home as an automatic system.
Scripps Howard News Service
Ed the Plumber
Q: We recently had a big storm hit New England. Once again, I wish I had a backup generator system installed at my home. After going through my second prolonged power outage in the last few years, this spring I'm going to get the project started. Whom do I contact first and what can I expect to happen during a power failure once my generator is installed?
Andy, New England
A: I want to clarify that the type of generator you're asking about is called a "standby" generator system. Residential standby generators run on natural or propane gas and are permanently hooked up to a home as an automatic system.
These can provide emergency power to a home for days or even weeks at a time while one waits for utility power to be restored.
A standby-generator system needs to be professionally installed, and all required permits need to be pulled.
Start with a licensed and insured standby-generator installer in your area. You can also contact a certified distributor, who can usually set you up with an installer.
The first visit should include walking the property to check out equipment location and the electrical load to determine the correct generator size. Ask for an estimate in writing, since the systems can be expensive.
What should you expect from a standby system? When power is lost, an automatic transfer switch starts the system, and in about 10 seconds or so generator power comes on. Once electricity is restored, the standby system shuts down.

Ninkovich "Thunderstruck" Highlights!
The Patriots defensive end group starts and almost ends with Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich. The two combined to play the most snaps by two defensive ends in the NFL.
Behind them the depth is either coming off injury or largely unproven. In a league where your defense lives or dies by their pass rush, do the Pats have enough horses to control the edges for five-plus months?
Here's our take on the defensive end group.
Rob Ninkovich | New England Patriots Highlights | The Jet Killer | HD (by ThePatriotWayMixes)
Chandler Jones teaches Rob Ninkovich how to dance [x]
How come we don't see more of these moves out of Nink after big plays?
The four sacks that the Patriots' defense collected on the day give the appearance that their pass rush was dominant when in fact the pressures were lacking all day long. The defense managed just 14 total pressures on the day and managed to pressure Tannehill on just 11 of 41 dropbacks. Even then, of those 14 pressures, four came on blitzes from corners and linebackers. The defensive line was generally ineffective and had a cumulative pass rushing grade of -5.0. The main culprit for the Patriots was Rob Ninkovich (-1.8) whose only pressure came via running back Daniel Thomas. It will be interesting to see if the high snap counts for Ninkovich and Chandler Jones(-0.4) catch up with them down the stretch. Jones leads all 4-3 defensive ends in snaps with 1002 while Ninkovich is second at 971.
I think one of the biggest problems of this season, and one that hasn't been that affected by injuries, is the lack of depth at defensive end. When you break down the pass rush problems, I think that's a big factor, even if Ninkovich and Chandler are pretty much set for the next few seasons as the starting defensive ends.
Michael Buchanan got the early nod but was a scratch on Sunday. Jake Bequette has been MIA all season and it seems likely he's nothing more than camp fodder next season.
This forced them to bring back Andre Carter who unfortunately is not the same guy he was in 2011. The Pats should look long and hard for a designated pass rusher in the mold of 2011 Mark Anderson this offseason.

Lots of love for Nink today. Much deserved…

Petone woman rescues distressed swimmer
Locals credited with saving distressed swimmerJODY O'CALLAGHAN
Relevant offers
One minute Susan Muszalski was heading to Petone Beach to watch the sunset with her husband, and the next she was stripping down to her underwear to rescue a distressed swimmer.
The 56-year-old Petone woman and a 43-year-old man - who was unknown to her - have been praised by police who say a 29-year-old man would have been in ''a lot of strife'' had they not come along when they did.
Mrs Muszalski said she did not think twice when she saw the man waving his arms in distress while she and her husband were walking the dog after dinner.
''We'll go down and watch the sunset, I said.''
But she missed the sunset, which happened while she was swimming about 500 metres frantically to get to the man about 8.30pm on Tuesday.
''I ended up stripping off to my bra and knickers.
''It's what everybody should do. You don't think about it you just do it.''
When she got to the ''quite solid'' man he was exhausted, had cramped legs and could not move. So she grabbed him by his strap-like life jacket and pulled him to shore.
''He said he was just so tired. I said, lay back and enjoy the ride.''
''I didn't know I could swim half way to Somes Island, but you learn something everyday.''
Lower Hutt senior sergeant Steve Braybrook said the 29-year-old, who did not want to be named, got into trouble when his boat broke down between the Petone foreshore and Somes Island and he tried to swim the 900 metres ashore for help.
His diabetic mother was left waiting in the boat, which was a new purchase the man had taken his mother for a spin in to show her.
He decided to swim for help, because his cell phone had run out of battery. Despite calm seas, there was a ''reasonable'' current, that made swimming harder, and he became ''exhausted'' after about an hour of swimming.
Mr Braybrook commended the bravery of the two strangers who rescued him.
''They have done well to even notice him, and then to rescue him. He was pretty exhausted.''
''He was verging on a lot of strife if they had not come along.''
Once the boat was retrieved , the man's mother required some medical assistance for a diabetic low blood sugar.

From: Dover, DE
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Using Pensylvania Sedge in Dover, DE.
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:Regarding Pennsylvania sedge, I am thinking of planting the sedge along our driveway, which is under trees and not reached by our sprinkler system. Across the driveway, there is lawn. Is it likely that the sedge seeds will infiltrate the grass lawn?
Pennsylvania sedge Carex pensylvanica (Pennsylvania sedge) should do well along the driveway in the shade, as long as it gets sufficient water. The plant spreads by rhizomes, so the driveway should provide an excellent barrier to keep it from spreading to the lawn. You can control seed production by periodically mowing the plants to remove the flowering stalks.
This link to the Missouri Botanical Garden has some useful information about Carex. I've copied the last paragraph which may alleviate your concerns about infiltration of your grass lawn
"Garden Uses
Groundcover for dry shade. Underplanting for shade perennials. Lawn substitute for dry soils in shady areas (forms a turf that never needs mowing or mow 2-3 times per year to 2" tall). May be best to use purchased plants for covering large areas because this species often does not grow well from seed."

Holiday Retail Sales Foretell Banner Season
784 view(s)
Publish Date
SAM Magazine-McLean, Va., Feb. 28, 2006-Overall sales for the winter sport market (including specialty and chain stores) rose 13 percent, to $1.5 billion, for the August through December period of 2005, compared to $1.3 billion a year earlier, according to the SnowSports Industries America (SIA) Retail Audit. Unit sales were up 14 percent.
Sales at specialty ski and snowboard shops were up 12 percent, to $1.2 billion, compared to $1.0 billion in 2004. Unit sales were up 13 percent. Sales at chain stores were up 17 percent, to $347.1 million, compared to $298.0 million, with unit sales rising 19 percent.
The sales increases were broad-based. Since specialty stores account for the greatest portion of sales, the comparisons that follow are for specialty sales only, though trends at chain outlets are similar. Among the big gainers were softshell parkas, up 45 percent. Softshells are taking off with women and juniors especially. Snowboard apparel sales rose 19 percent; with men's wear outselling women's by two to one, it appears there's still room for growth.
Junior sales are also encouraging, rising across the board from weak sales a year ago. Junior alpine systems, 8 percent of all system units sold (up from 4 percent last season) jumped 165 percent in dollars. Even so, junior skis, excluding systems, rose 28 percent in dollars over last season.
Accessories sales also bloomed, with 20 percent or more increases in goggles, glasses, helmets, winter boots, gloves, snowshoes, technical daypacks, and snowboard accessories.
Snowboard sales show the importance of pipes and parks. Freestyle boards rose 30 percent and accounted for 48 percent of all board dollars, up from 41 percent last season. Freeride boards, 40 percent of all board dollars sold, saw sales increase 15 percent. All mountain boards, 10 percent of all units sold this season, declined 16 percent.
Alpine ski equipment (including skis, ski systems, boots, bindings and poles) grew 6 percent, led by integrated systems, up 32 percent, and twintips, up 66 percent. Through December, the ratio of flat skis to integrated systems fell to 1.7 to 1, compared to 2.5 to 1 a year ago. \

Michael is excellent! We are very pleased. He is always on time and seems to communicate Algebra well with my grandson. A very nice person.
Michael was a very good tutor. We were happy with him, but when it came time to come back a week later, he was sick one day and then told me the second day that he wouldn't be coming back because it was too far. Had he told me that immediately after our tutoring session, we would've had an additional week to find someone. He should have known that immediately after our tutoring session. It's not like the distance increased in a week.
My son got a "0" on his last Pre-Cal quiz, it was that bad. After just two lessons from Michael my son scored an "85" on his test! WOW! Great tutor and proven results! Thank you!

Shane Rector decommits from from Rutgers
Apr 10, 2013, 1:03 PM EDT
The star of former head coach Mike Rice's recruiting class at Rutgers, Shane Rector, has decommitted from the program.
It shouldn't be a surprise. The head coach that recruited him there is gone and the program looks like it's destined to be a disaster for the next few years. Rector is a talented enough recruit that he should be able to find a bigger program with a better future to attend.
Perhaps the biggest surprise, however, is that Rice actually called him up to warn him of the video that would be airing on ESPN's Outside The Lines.
"Before the video came out he called me up. He talked to me," Rector told the Daily News. "He told me there was going to be a video about him online. He wasn't trying to hide it from me. I still felt comfortable."
"Once they fired the head coach you don't really know what's going to happen – who they're going to hire, if they're going to like you or not," said Rector, who attended South Kent (Conn.) following his junior year at St. Ray's in the Bronx. "So the best decision for me, just so I could have all my bases covered (was to decommit)."

Hawke's Bay
Controversial "fracking" technology would have to be used to get oil out of the ground in Wairoa.
A resource consent application to drill down to 3500 metres, further than ever before, is about to be lodged with the Hawke's Bay Regional Council.
The drilling would show whether there was enough oil to justify the huge cost of hydraulic fracturing.
NZ Energy development manager Ian Brown told the regional council yesterday that the shale the company was targeting lay 3500 metres under the Earth's crust and would need to be "fracked", or hydraulically fractured using water and chemicals under high pressure, to extract the oil.
Public concern about fracking included the amount of water used in the process. Protesters have also cited other environmental impacts and the possibility of triggering earthquakes.
Dr Brown could not estimate how much water would be needed for a well, saying there were too many "variables", but said the industry had moved on from using fresh water.
"It can be salt water, waste water or even gas."
Oil and gas exploration in the Wairoa area was not new, with the first well drilled in the 1920s or 1930s, Dr Brown said.
NZ Energy had drilled 12 exploratory wells in the area between 1998 and 2007.
Commercial deposits of oil or gas had not been found until now, he said.
Part of the reason for the renewed interest was that the high price of oil justified the expense of drilling.
It would cost about $10 million to drill a well, with half that money attributed to the fracking process.
Dr Brown was confident the company would find the type of shale it was looking for, but said the hard part would be selecting the right fracturing process "to stimulate the rock" to get the oil to the surface.
He would not put a date on when the consent application would be lodged but said it would be within the next two or three months.
The company held Government-issued exploration permits in Taranaki, Wairarapa and along the East Coast.

My username (purecrazy) means two things. Obliviously, anyone who knows me really well knows that I'm purely crazy! But it also means that I'm crazy for guys who are pure; they are amazing! I mean girls are usually the ones making promises to save themselves for marriage, but it's so awesome to find a guy who really wants to stay pure. So anyway, I'm working to keep myself pure. And at this time, I'm happy to say that the only guy (officially) in my life is Jesus. I love him to death!!! Another thing about me is that I'm homeschooled and it's awesome. And I want to be a doctor someday. :) I have a mom and dad and two siblings, one sister and one brother who are both younger than me. I'm 5'1", but I'm not short...I'm FUN SIZE! Lol.

2001 Chevrolet Tracker ZR2 4WD Convertible Review
|by Deanna90134
"The Tracker ZR2 4WD is a fantastic car."
I love the Tracker, and I will drive it until there are 300,000 or more miles on it. It's the most reliable vehicle I have ever driven, and it feels like driving a street-legal ATV down the road. Everyone asks about my Tracker (its a good-looking car with the sunroof and top off and a big hitch in the back) but I won't ever sell it.

Avg. Dealer Rating: (1 review) "The car I wanted had Low Mileage, sweet condition, and perfect color. The salesman did not have to do a whole lot of selling because I had my set. So I went ahead and moved forward on a loan and purchased the car that weekend. When I first checked out the car, the fog lights did not work and I noticed they still did not work when I got home. It was not a big deal but that should have clued me in about this dealer as we talked about it in our previous meeting. I owned the truck for about a month and it had COMPLETE engine failure. The cylinder heads were made of aluminum and as the engine neared 60k, the filings start making their way into the valves making my #4 and #6 seize. Long story short, the engine was toast. This is not the dealers fault as I did some deeper research and found that this does happen to 2004 land rovers occasionally. I am fine with that. What I am not okay with is how the dealer handled me as a customer and is still trying to rebuild that SAME engine to resell the vehicle. It's wrong. I bought the vehicle as is and under CA law, the dealer is no longer responsible. After about 2-5 calls and back and forth and him pretending not to get messages or whatever he agreed to pay about 1/3 of the value back. But that was after: 1. letting the car sit in my repair shop for a month (I was VERY fortunate that he did not charge me rent). My repair guy called him NUMEROUS times but he would tell me that he was 'trying his best to reach' my mechanic. I called my mechanic twice a day that month...he's easily reached. Then the dealer would contradict himself say, "when I talked to the mechanic today...". He did this every day for about 2 weeks. 2. Lying to me saying that he had to talk to his business partner. I've been to the office. Apparently, he takes a good 2 weeks to have a talk with his business partner one wall behind him. I definitely feel like he trying to wait me out so I would pay for the tow, or give up on trying to get money for the car. 3. The vehicle was 11k. He gave me 3,500. I am grateful for that as he did not have to pay me anything but what kind of business is he running? When I do not give full service to my customers, I have to give them their FULL money back. My mechanic is convinced that whoever smogged that vehicle fudged the numbers because there is no way it should have passed. I've recently contacted the bureau of auto repair and they are investigating the shop who does the smog. 4. He got contentious when I did not want to buy another vehicle from his lot to make it an even trade. Really? I wanted something with 4WD and he did not have anything lower than 100k miles. 5. he lied and told me that his tow truck driver could not drive from oakland to Sf and that he needed a special permit. That was news to me. He kept going on and for about 5 days about how he could not find a tow truck guy with a special license? Unheard of. About 3 days later he admitted he did not want to pay and that it would put him out as he was already out 3,500. I have a remaining loan for 6-7k and had to pay $900 for labor to a vehicle that does not even work and this guy was going to tell me how much he was spending too much money?! Hilarious. I ended up getting AAA to do it. The repair guy was cool keeping it at his shop for another few days but it was evident the dealer was trying leverage his good nature against me to pressure me into paying for it myself. My repairman said he's NEVER dealt with another dealer like this and recommended I sue. Lastly, Never buy a Land Rover and NEVER trust a guy who says "honestly" more than 5 times in a 3 min period. Run;)"

Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dip Recipe
Jun 24, 2011 9:01 am
Don't be blue, be cheesy
Something about blue cheese seems to scream out "don't eat me, I'm moldy!" Unfortunately for the cheese, we're too addicted to the tangy, creamy delicious stuff, which graces both salad and platter of atomic wings alike, to hear its cries. Ready to have your mind blown? Try replacing the thousand island dressing on your Reuben sandwich with this.
Servings: 2 cups
6 ounces best-quality blue cheese, such as Maytag or Danish, crumbled
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 scallions, white and green only, thinly sliced
- Mix first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Season with salt and pepper. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Bay View Branch, located at 2566 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., opened in October 1993. The branch replaced the Llewellyn Library built in 1914 and located at 907 E. Russell.
The building is contemporary with an open, bright environment. Under the Milwaukee Arts Board's Percentage for Art program, artist Peter Flanary created three mosaic maps in the linoleum floor of the lobby, one representing Bay View at the time of settlement in 1832; another from 1900, when a steel mill on the lakefront spurred the community's growth; the third showing the area as it is today.

Britney 'Extremely Upset' in Australia
"Britney is aware of all this and she's extremely upset by it," Paul Dainty, Spears' tour promoter, told The Australian on Monday. "She's a human being. I'm embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting."
Critics called her first concert, held in Perth on Friday, "boring" and "stiff."
In their reporting, Perth Now claimed "hundreds of fans stormed out" of the Friday concert. One fan, 22-year-old Amanda Hawlet put it bluntly: "I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synced the whole thing."
Dainty disputes that fans who paid up to $1,500 dollars would walk out as early as the third song, as was reported. Spears' manager Adam Leber took to Spears' Twitter account to defend the singer to her 3.7 million followers. "Its unfortunate that one journalist in Perth didn't enjoy the show last night. Fortunately the other 18,272 fans in attendance did. - Adam."

Before this concert flap, Britney's trip to Australia was already dogged with controversy. Last week, officials there announced they were brainstorming options to ensure fans are fully informed that parts of the concerts will be lip-synced.
"It is Britney's 'prerogative' to lip-sync, and it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front," said Virginia Judge, Minister for Fair Trading for the Australian state New South Wales, in a statement released by the government.
One consumer protection option being considered is the requirement of disclaimers on tickets and promotional material that will indicate that portions of the show will be pre-recorded.
"Anyone paying to attend a Britney Spears concert, or any bubblegum pop show for that matter, should really know better than to go in expecting an earth-shattering vocal performance. You didn't, afterall, just pay to see Mariah Carey circa 1990," says AOL Music editor Kim Davis. "These days, you pay to see it all -- the costumes, the dancers, the stage props ... Britney's skin. Like it or not, the vocal performance is, in many cases, a fraction of the arena show these days."
"Rather than slapping a disclaimer on all ticket sales, my advice would be for consumers to hop on the Web, where anything you want to know is at your fingertips. Watch tour footage, read reviews, flip through photos. Go vicarious before you actually, well, go."

drunknhines: I saw Beyonce in concert about two years ago, and she sang 100% live the WHOLE time, to the music of her live on-stage band, all while doing insanely intricate choreography and wearing 4 inch stilettos. It was undoubtedly the most amazing live performance I have ever seen. If you have the actual talent as she does, it can be done.
- Monday 09 NovemberBy john
its OK to lip sync if people are made aware of that but to pay 20 or more for a ticket and to get ls is miss representation,I would be upset as well.To say Britt is a performer not know as a singer is garbage,shes a singer on her c-ds and live she is a performer and expected to sing unless stated otherwise.

Britney's music is not my cup of tea, so I won't bother commenting on that. What I find disturbing is the mean-spirited nature of many people commenting on her. There are people in this world doing far worse things to humanity than Britney Spears, but they get away with it because people are too busy worrying about Britney Spears, or other silly distractions. Stop concerning yourselves with whether or not Britney Spears is singing, and start concerning yourselves with the puppet-masters who are dragging you through the mud of history.

WILLIE: It is soooo easy to say all sorts of nasty things, and then hide behind the banner of free speech. I got no problem if you want to say such things about Britney or anyone else. It just amazes me that you would want to... The case isn't closed, you just don't want to discuss it like an adult... which is fine with me. And while we're on the subject of freedom, it works BOTH ways, so don't be tellin me to "run along." I believe I have all the same rights you do...

BRITNEY is NOT a true voice; she is a STUDIO voice. In other words, they create her voice. Britney needs to step down and enjoy the money she has made as her "bubble gum" years. ANYONE can have a studio voice!

What she is lip syncing? Oh my goodness! Hello...she has just been doing that her whole career and isn't the only one performer who does that at their shows. Not a fan but this is really a huge part of the "performance" industry for singer/performers...why anyone would be surprised I am not sure.

I would rather someone actually sing and make mistakes or be different from the album then watch someone lip sync. It takes no talent to lip sync - that's what imposters and impersonators do, the real thing should be the real thing. And for those who say you can't expect someone to dance and sing, errr have you ever actually seen a musical, err that's what they do they sing, they dance, the perform, and they don't lip sync.
As someone who actually has released albums, (back when they were albums as in viynl records) i wouldn't even image lip syncing onstage...

10 Questions Michigan State Football Must Answer This Offseason
10 Offseason Questions for Michigan State
The Michigan State Spartans are coming off of their best football season in a quarter century. By all accounts, it's a great time to be a Spartan. Michigan State went 13-1, handed Urban Meyer his first loss as Ohio State's head coach en route to a Big Ten Championship, and put the cherry on top with a 24-20 win over Stanford in the 100th Rose Bowl Game.
But they're not done yet. Michigan State has great aspirations for next season. When asked if he thought his team had a realistic chance at a national championship next year, head coach Mark Dantonio said, "That's our plan. Our plan is to keep winning. Our plan is that we're one game away. I said 'why not us' a couple weeks ago. I think we can compete with anybody in this country."
Heading into next season, the Spartan faithful actually have a lot to be happy about. Despite losing senior captains Max Bullough, Darqueze Dennard and Blake Treadwell, a lot of key components are back. It looks like defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi is staying put for now, and he has done a phenomenal job of building a deep bench to replace lost starters on defense.
Offensively, quarterback Connor Cook, running back Jeremy Langford and every meaningful receiver is returning. Of the 18 Spartans who caught a pass last year, 17 are underclassmen.
That's not to say everything is peachy in East Lansing. There are some questions to be answered this offseason, and here are the 10 biggest.
Laura Depta is a New York Yankees writer for RantSports.com. Follow her on Twitter @LauraDepta and add her to your network on Google.
10. Who Will Step Up As A Leader In 2014?
Not only will Michigan State miss the defensive prowess of departing captains Bullough and Dennard, but they will definitely miss the leadership. A big question mark with the Spartans is that all-important intangible – leadership. Who will step up? Defensively, end Shalique Calhoun (will be a fourth-year junior) has already expressed a desire to fill that void. Calhoun was a second-team All-American and named the national defensive player of the year by the College Football Performance Awards last year. Offensively, the Spartans will look to Cook to continue his rise and help bring motivation to an ever-improving unit.
9. How Will They Replace Graduating Linemen?
MSU's run game, while perhaps a bit unsung, was a hero of this championship season. Langford will lose both of his starting offensive guards, and if the offense is going to continue to improve and come with a balanced attack, suitable replacements are needed. Both starting defensive tackles are gone as well, but once again, the depth of their defensive roster will make the transition a bit easier there.
8. Will Connor Cook Maintain His Confidence?
Connor Cook's performance this year could absolutely have been characterized as steadily improving week-to-week. Even at the Rose Bowl, where he threw for 332 yards and was named offensive MVP, he had a truly horrendous pick-six that, at the time, looked like doomsday for the Spartans. He has said himself that he has a lot he'd like to work on this offseason, namely pocket presence, learning when to run, how to break down defensive schemes, and how to be more vocal. Cook entered 2013 as the No. 2 QB and even after winning the job, was still benched late in the Spartans' one loss to Notre Dame in favor of Andrew Maxwell. Such back and forth no doubt weighed on his confidence, and it showed visibly on the field.
7. Who Will Replace Darqueze Dennard In The Secondary?
How will the No Fly Zone operate without the Jim Thorpe Award winner? Despite losing a great player, the secondary will be just fine. Narduzzi has done an outstanding job of keeping the bench stocked on defense. Cornerback Trae Waynes had a great year, racking up 50 tackles and three interceptions. He'll be promoted to No. 1 corner next season and should do his mentor proud.
6. Pat Narduzzi Is Staying, Right?
The Broyles Award winner for the nation's top assistant coach has interviewed for several head coaching positions already, including the jobs at both Connecticut and Louisville. Luckily for Spartan nation, neither opportunity panned out, and all signs point to the defensive genius coming back, at least for one more year.
5. How Will They Prepare For The Competitive Big Ten East Division?
Michigan State will be a part of the new Big Ten East next year, a division that includes perennial powerhouses Ohio State and Michigan as well as conference newcomers Rutgers and Maryland, both of whom played in bowl games this year. State will have to prepare to face Oregon in the second game of the year, and then they face the daunting task of competing in a competitive conference schedule with two new teams on the docket.
4. Do They Have A Quarterback Controversy?
Maxwell is graduating, of course, but Michigan State has a young man named Damion Terry on the roster at QB as well. His name was solidly in the mix for the starting job in early 2013 until illness and a thumb injury convinced the coaching staff that a red shirt was a good idea. As far as anyone knows, the job is Cook's to lose, especially after ending the season with not one but two MVP performances. But Terry is legit. The 6-foot-3, 222 pound mobile QB completed 10-of-14 passes for 240 yards and three TDs against the first team defense back in a preseason scrimmage.
3. What Spots Still Need To Be Filled Through Recruiting?
As of Jan. 9, Michigan State had 19 commits to the 2014 recruiting class. There is space for 3-4 additional scholarships, so what are the needs? According to the Detroit Free Press, the Spartans are looking at Malik McDowell, a defensive end out of Southfield and ranked by Rivals.com as the top prospect in the state of Michigan. Other targets include Daniel Cage – defensive end from Cincinnati, Darious Crawley – wide receiver from Houston, and Michael O'Connor – quarterback from Bradenton, FL.
2. How Will They Fill The Holes At The Linebacker Position?
The Spartans are losing both Bullough and Denicos Allen to graduation. Both were all-conference, multi-year starters. Rose Bowl hero Kyler Ellsworth is gone as well. Bullough's younger brother Riley is coming up through the ranks, and the Spartans have some other young guys that will need to step up. With the depth there and great coaching, it does seem that the holes will fill with relative ease.
1. How Will They Handle Success?
Michigan State just won its first Rose Bowl since 1988. With success comes great pride, but also great challenges. The expectations and pressure are higher, and keeping players humble is critical. Dantonio said, "Success, once you've tasted it a little bit you want to keep it." Hopefully for the Spartans, success will translate into motivation, rather than lethargy.

It's Time To Kill Head Start.
Actually, we should have killed Head Start a long time ago. Even a heavily massaged report by the Department of Health and Human Services admits that the program is essentially a waste of time:
In sum, this report finds that providing access to Head Start has benefits for both 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds in the cognitive, health, and parenting domains, and for 3-year-olds in the social-emotional domain. However, the benefits of access to Head Start at age four are largely absent by 1st grade for the program population as a whole. For 3-year-olds, there are few sustained benefits, although access to the program may lead to improved parent-child relationships through 1st grade…
We've spent 100 billion dollars on Head Start since 1965 and we're seeing some tiny improvement that lasts from age 4 to 1st grade? Is it any wonder this country is bankrupt and living on credit from China?
So, we have: an : enormously expensive program that doesn't work;: can it get any worse? We're talking about the government here, so OF COURSE it can get worse. It turns out that Head Start is riddled with fraud:
An undercover investigation into the federal government's Head Start program has found enough enrollment abuses to generate a report to President Obama and a major damage-control effort by the agency that runs the program.
At a hearing Tuesday, members of the House Education and Labor Committee heard dramatic audio clips of fraud being taken by Government Accountability Office (GAO) agents. In one clip, a New Jersey Head Start worker handed back a $23,000 pay stub to two agents who were pretending to enroll their children in the preschool program.
"Now you see it, now you don't," the Head Start worker said.
…In testimony presented to the House panel Tuesday, GAO special investigations official Gregory D. Kutz said that in at least eight cases, Head Start employees "manipulated" information to admit ineligible children.
Enrollment rules were so lax, he warned, that Head Start workers could easily "doctor" enrollment applications, and families could enter the program with "bogus" documents created at home.
…Head Start, created 45 years ago as a "war on poverty" program, receives $7 billion a year. Last year, it received an extra $2 billion under the stimulus bill, and the Obama administration has requested another $1 billion for it for 2011.
Head Start's main purpose is to narrow the school-readiness gap by giving poor preschoolers free educational, medical, nutritional and social services.
Early studies have showed that Head Start services pay off when the children start school.
But in January, a massive, 10-year study found that by the time Head Start children finish first grade, they score no better than non-Head Start children on most of 112 measures.
So, everyone knows the program doesn't work and it's run behind-the-scenes with ACORN-style ethics rules. Yet, we were spending 7 billion dollars a year on it when Obama came : into office and he borrowed another 3 billion dollars for a non-functional program. It's time to stop wasting our money. It's time for the Head Start program to die.
