Lot of key players out on both sides
This is a winnable game. Need to bring that heat on Ben and get him down. I don't entirely trust our coverage with Revis out. The "Eric Smith will play" stuff coming from Rex ain't exactly making me feel better either....

But warn the wife there will be porn pop ups while you watch. And it takes Patience to work through all the bogus links and pop ups. I have noticed if you keep the game maximized it limits the annoying stuff.
why on earth don't you guys just buy the sunday ticket? Seriously.
Was NFL RedZone out for any of you guys last week? I am reading something online and it said the the channel was out of service last week? Hopefully it works this week.
Sunday ticket is exclusive to Direct TV.
I had it in FL without issue... moved to TX and it SUCKED. No matter how many times I had them out to adjust to try and improve the signal it just didn't work worth a ****. Every time the wind blew or a cloud went by it went out.
Not just mine, everyone in the area... it's like there some friggin' ozone blockade going on here.
In Florida, my Direct TV stayed on all through the hurricanes until the damn power went out... I would love to have it back... but alas... it's AT&T Uverse for me.
That's crazy. Up in lowly Canada, you can get it through just about every provider. Dish, optical, cable, you name it.
Hoping Giants lose to Bucs, would be funny to see them start 0-2
NFL Redzone channel = incredible
Tennessee and San Diego get the air time here in Houston... How they come up with that is beyond me... I would think there are more east coast transplants here than from either TN or S. Cal. meh.
Pacman Jones just returned a punt for a TD.
Dog killer just got picked in the EZ

In "Crossing the Chasm," the high-tech marketing bible, G. Moore advises that If we want to convince mainstream educators to adopt mobile technologies, we need to (1) stop focusing on the technology per se (screen size, chip version, etc.), and (2) paint pictures of what goes on in the classroom when mobile technologies are used and what the kids will be like after using the mobile technologies. Here's a crack at painting those pictures.
Over the last decade or so, numerous articles have appeared that conflate the ideas of a virtual science lab and a simulated science lab. For example, the College Board, in its guidelines, says, "A virtual lab is an interactive experience during which students observe and manipulate computer-generated objects, data, or phenomena in order to fulfill the learning objectives of a laboratory experience."
Students can have a range of physical, cognitive, sensory, and learning disabilities that affect their entire lives. Any of these might pose unique academic challenges, particularly when learning mathematics. The good news is that technology is removing barriers for the education of students with disabilities in regular classrooms. Unfortunately, not all software is based on principles of universal design.
With the right tools, students can experience science in a meaningful way, while being challenged and engaged. Erika Fosgreen, accelerated program coordinator at Imagine Rosefield and Imagine Prep Surprise in Arizona, shares her experience doing just that.
In the first segment in this series, we covered the pedagogy behind student videogame development. We addressed how learning as doing, collaborative & peer learning, tutoring, ownership, and publication are critical components to game development. We also addressed benefits of videogame making, including content area knowledge acquisition, students as producers of information, and the potential of game-making for encouraging STEM-related careers for women and minorities.
Let's have another go at the FCC and this time let's lay out EXACTLY what the FCC needs to do in order to fix the connectivity problem facing K-12 schools in the U.S.
Today, as the planet moves headlong into the Age of Mobilism, K-12 schools ignore mobile technologies at the school's peril. But what to do? Our mission in this blog is to provide ideas, visions, strategies, tips, and resources to help schools be mobile savvy and take advantage of the opportunities mobile technologies afford!
Teachers who spend time actually thinking through assignments that align with the learning outcomes of a course are the most effective at assessing the learning that has taken place. Now, however, even the most creative teachers are being stretched like never before in regards to creating assignments that work in technology-rich learning environments. While evaluating learning in the purest sense might never really be possible given the scope of variables, new technologies are making it more achievable than ever before.
There's more to being an effective teacher than raising standardized test scores, yet test scores have gained widespread acceptance among the public as the key indicator of performance.
Historic forces in higher education may have serious repercussions for K-12.

Study finds fewer HPV doses still effective
Updated On: Feb 11 2014 04:00:00 PM EST
A new Swedish study finds getting the recommended three doses of HPV vaccine provides maximum protection from genital warts, a symptom of the human papillomavirus, but getting only two doses still provides a considerable reduction in risk, particularly among women who were younger than 17 when they received their first dose.
"Three shots works best. Two shots works OK. One, not so much, kids are still getting warts," explained Cleveland Clinic Children's pediatrician Dr. Ellen Rome.
Researchers at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm looked at the association between the number of doses of HPV vaccination and genital warts among females 10 years old to 24 years old. They found among the more than 20,000 new cases of genital warts, 322 occurred after receiving at least one dose of the vaccine.
Researchers say maximum risk reduction occurs with three doses, but there was a small difference in the number of cases prevented by three doses versus two. Researchers concede their study looked at genital warts only and not the risk of cervical cancer.
Rome says that's why it's important to get your teen the vaccinations they need.
"All 3 shots- ideally by age 14. You don't wait for a tetanus booster until they've stepped on a nail. Similarly, we want all three HPV vaccines in them long before they're thinking about sex," Rome said.
Complete findings for this study are in theJournal of the American Medical Association.

November 25, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The latest campaign finance reports show that incumbent Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe is on track to spend $6 million in his re-election bid.
That's more than twice the amount of Democratic challenger Andrew Rice.
Josh Kivett, Inhofe's campaign manager, says the senator has had more than 14,000 contributors.
The Rice campaign, which has criticized Inhofe for accepting over $1 million in donations from the financial sector, reported raising almost $2.6 million and had $199,000 cash on hand as of Oct. 15.
Inhofe, by contrast, had almost $1.4 million in cash after raising $4.8 million. He had spent $4.2 million, much of it on a television blitz.
Heading into the final week of the campaign, Inhofe has picked up an endorsement from The Oklahoman after being endorsed the week before by the Tulsa World.
Rice counts endorsements from The Muskogee Phoenix, among other newspapers.

Earn 10 points for answering
Answers (7)
When he was 7 years old, Premchand began his education at a madarsa in Lalpur, located around 2 km from Lamahi. Premchand learnt Urdu and Persian from a maulvi in the madarsa. When he was 8, his mother died after a long illness. His grandmother, who took the responsibility of raising him, died soon after. Premchand felt isolated, as his elder sister had already been married, and his father was always busy with work. His father, who was now posted at Gorakhpur, re-married, but Premchand received little affection from his step-mother. The step-mother later became a recurring theme in Premchand's works.

"Internet of Things"
What is this "Internet of Things?" (IoT)
You may have heard someone mention the "Internet of Things" in conversation or in an article and skipped right past it. The internet has been around in its modern form since the 1990's and although it is constantly evolving, the way we think about it hasn't changed all that much. With the addition of smart phones, watches, and even smart household appliances; the reality about the internet and the communication that is utilizing it has become more complex.
The "Internet of Things" refers to any device that can connect to the internet. The IoT can be people to people, people to device, or device to device communications via the internet. Or as defined by the U.S. National Intelligence Council: "The "Internet of Things" is the general idea of things, especially everyday objects, that are readable, recognizable, locatable, addressable, and controllable via the Internet – whether via RFID, wireless LAN, wide-area network, or other means." Traditionally this included tablets, phones, and desktop computers; but now can be sensors of an automated home, health sensors in/on patients, even elevators or sensors in flooring. With technology advancing in such a way as to reduce the CPU, space, and power consumption required by these devices, the applications have become widespread and will continue to grow.
What does this mean for the health industry? Already several devices are out that will track your steps taken, calories burned, and heart rate. These devices can be tied in to a wireless connection and may eventually monitor your physical health close enough to alert an outside party of your condition. Medical staff may have the ability to remotely monitor pacemakers or the nutrition of elderly patients. Sensors in smart clothing now monitor athlete's to alert of heat stroke and dehydration, similar technology applied to patients in hospitals could improve the general well being of patients across the board.
The possibilities of the IoT in our lives is endless. We may not see an impact over night, but the utilization of smart technology in our lives could have huge benefits. Smart cars can detect in advance if a traffic accident has occurred along your route of travel. Smart elevators can learn what floors have the highest traffic and minimize wait times. Our environment can be monitored as well as infrastructures such as bridges and roadways to increase safety. Although the utilization of these technologies will take more testing and resources before they can be implemented, their impact will be seen all around us.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Vanderbilt won't have to lament another gut-wrenching loss in the Southeastern Conference.
This one was over by halftime.
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Vanderbilt won't have to lament another gut-wrenching loss in the Southeastern Conference.
This one was over by halftime.
Led by quarterback Aaron Murray and a stifling defense, No. 5 Georgia raced to a 27-0 lead in the first half and went on to a 48-3 rout Saturday night, handing the Commodores their worst loss in almost nine years.
"We're a much better team than how we played tonight," receiver Chris Boyd said. "We're just going to go back to the drawing board."
Vanderbilt (1-3, 0-2 SEC) had made a habit of losing close games in the SEC, its past five conference defeats were by a total of 23 points. That included a 17-13 setback to No. 7 South Carolina in the season opener.
If the Commodores thought they were making progress, well, this was a major step backward.
Georgia (4-0, 2-0) doled out its most lopsided defeat since a 48-0 blowout by Tennessee on Nov. 22, 2003.
"The difference in the game was played up front, especially with their offensive line," Vanderbilt coach James Franklin said. "They did a really good job of running the ball with power and forced us to load the box, which opened up the passing game on the outside. I didn't feel like we played with the confidence that we normally play with on the outside."
Inside and out, this was total domination.
Murray completed his first 12 passes and got plenty of help from the rest of the offense.
Georgia's freshmen backs had another outstanding game. Todd Gurley rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns, including a 29-yard score in which he broke at least four tackles, while Keith Marshall had a 52-yard TD among his two scoring runs.
Marlon Brown hauled in a 6-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, finishing with five catches for 114 yards. Eight other players had at least one reception.
The defense wasn't too shabby, either. Star linebacker Jarvis Jones returned to the lineup after sitting out the previous week with a groin injury. He didn't feel 100 percent, but he still managed three tackles behind the line, including a sack.
Murray also hooked up with Tavarres King for a touchdown pass, breaking a tie with Eric Zeier for second place in school history. The fourth-year junior has 69 career TDs, just three behind David Greene. For good measure, Murray scored one of his own on a 1-yard sneak.
"He's playing terrific," Brown said of his quarterback, who finished 18 of 24 for 250 yards. "He's like a field general, just sitting up there making all the reads."
The Bulldogs had struggled a bit in the opening half of their first three games, trailing Missouri at the break and allowing a total of 30 points to Buffalo and Florida Atlantic.
No such concerns this time.
Georgia has scored more than 40 points in its first four games for the first time in school history. Murray and most of the other starters went to the bench by the end of the third quarter, the Bulldogs even giving walk-on Parker Welch some time at quarterback. The home team rushed for 302 yards.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. | File photo
Updated: January 12, 2013 6:12AM
If people need to drive but can't legally obtain proper documentation, they'll often resort to illegal methods.
A story in Monday's Sun-Times by Frank Main reported that thousands of immigrants are suspected of obtaining driver's licenses through a Chinatown fraud ring between 2003 and 2008. Many of those immigrants faked the written test and didn't even take the road test, says the FBI.
The danger here is clear and present: Drivers who don't have to pass any test and who aren't allowed to buy insurance are a threat to everyone else on the highway.
Legislation already passed by the state Senate and pending in the House — with Republican leadership support — would offer an alternative for the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants believed to be driving on Illinois roads. The House should pass the bill and send it to Gov. Pat Quinn, who has said he will sign it.
The bill would allow illegal immigrants to get temporary visitor driver's licenses, which already are available for foreign students, spouses and children of temporary workers, long-term workers and others who are here legally but don't have the Social Security numbers needed to obtain a regular driver's license. The IDs are similar to regular driver's licenses but have purple backgrounds instead of red.
Opponents of the measure say it sends the wrong message to reward people who have broken immigration laws.
But if the legislation encourages illegal immigrants to undergo driver training so they can pass the same vision, written and road tests as anyone else, that would make Illinois' roads safer. And it would also allow the immigrants to buy insurance.
Illegal immigrants with the licenses would have less reason to leave the scene of an accident. Health-care providers could more easily ID patients. Fewer people would be deported after a routine traffic stop.
This bill deserves a green light.

Guestbook comments from the manager
We had a great time in San Francisco. It is very comfortable to get around in the city, even without a car, because of the local traffic system and with the 7-day muni pass we saved a lot of money. We really liked our trips along the piers or from the Coit Tower along the Lombard Street. The walk over Golden Gate Bridge was great too. We also enjoyed the small stores in 24th Street and in the Castro and of course the bigger Shoppingcenters around market street. I`m sure we will visit San Francisco again.

Parker "100 point system" for wine ratings
- Robert Lauriston Aug 13, 2006 07:04 PM
I'm not sure many consumers know it's actually a 50-point scale, from 50 to 100.
50 existence
5 color and appearance
15 aroma and bouquet
20 flavor and finish
10 overall quality level and/or potential for improvement
A glass of dishwater would get at least 50 points.
The problem I have with Parker and his ilk is that people buy into the reviews so completely. The reviews are subjective and tilted towards very ripe, heavily extracted, heavily oaked wines that make a huge impact on the palate. Wineries often make better wines that don't get the reviews. The other issue is that the wine industry has bought into it and wines are being made to please the critics - they all start tasting the same, a big blast of oak with big jammy fruit to compete with the barrel.
I have more respect for somebody that knows what they like even if it's Gallo Hearty Burgundy or white zin, than somebody who won't buy a wine that doesn't get 90+ from Parker
I think Parker is probably more believable than the Wine Spectator. In fact, I recently dropped my subscription to it. I guess there is a place for ratings but like Calamityville, I think it's important to find what YOU like.
Living here, I find it far more fun to go taste wines and find what I like without even looking at ratings and that's exactly what we do. I also find that many of the smaller winieries who so not submit their wines and not care about ratings produce outstanding, well crafted wines.
The other recent trend seems to be high alcohol wines which any many cases are far to "hot" for enjoyable drinking.
re: rtmonty
I couldn't agree more about WS. As an Oregonian I am lucky to be close to some fabulous Pinot and to try a lot of it, but I've noticed that WS seems to only give good reviews to the most extracted, new-oak aged pinot they can get from OR. It's disappointing that they can't seem to like something that's a bit subtle.
re: nagrom
For the most reliable/valid rankings and tasting notes on Oregon Pinots, Stephen Tanzer is your guy. That from the mouths of Oregon winemakers.....
re: byrd
I guess one could consider Parker the best if one's palate is on the same wavelength as his. Mine isn't. I have little or no use for gobby, high-alcohol, low-acid, oaky wines. IMO, this style of wine is not food-friendly.
Where he is useful is that he's consistent. If you know how to read his notes, you know what wines to seek or avoid. When the words 'gobs' or 'unctious' are in one of his notes, I go running the other way.
re: Larry Stein
I've liked some of the rieslings he's rated highly.
re: Robert Lauriston
Parker doesn't rate German wine. Until recently, it was Rovani (whose palate appears to be similar to Parker's). A few months ago, they hired David Schildknecht away from Steve Tanzer. Schildknecht really knows his stuff when it comes to Austria and Germany.
I think there is a certain truth to this scale. Almost every wine I've ever had (with a few memorable exceptions) is drinkable. I suspect even mediocre supermarket plonk is better than the wine that almost anyone had to drink a couple of hundred years ago. And almost all wine is generally good.
The corollary of this 100 point scale is the realization that people often pay a lot of money for a wine that is only 4% better than another similar wine. I honestly don't think my palate is exquisite or sensitive enough to taste the difference between an 88 and a 92 - particularly in the context of wine shared with friends during a meal.
re: Phoo D
A certain percentage of wine I buy is undrinkable as in spoiled and I return it.
Beyond that, I've bought a lot of wine that was not spoiled but was to my taste undrinkable, as in I poured it down the sink and opened another bottle.
hello, caitlin m. kindly just linked to this board the NY Times article critiquing the wine mags, and there were two factors, not dealing with palate acuteness/memory or taste preferences, that set Parker apart from many of the others. The absence of advertising in the WA, and that the tasting is done blind. We can always calibrate our own palates with those of published critics if we do our own critical tasting; at the same time, there's a segment of consumers(incl. many who speculate on expensive bottles never intending to drink them) whose perceptions are biased by what some authority figure has said or written. cheers
re: Tom Hall
sorry, acc. to the NY Times piece, Parker brown-bags what he's tasting. Don't doubt that you've tasted w. him and know better. BTW to the other poster, WA==Wine Advocate, Parker's publication, which as others have noted, does include a few other reviewers at present, whereas it originally was a one-palate show. cheers
re: moto
Yeah, he does generally brown bag them. But it is still only a single blind tasting. To me any taster/critic looking for credibility should have to taste wines "double blind"
For those who don't know the difference, A single blind tasting involves getting a clue about the wines, such as here are 15 Oregon Pinot's or 20 New Zealand Whites, or a selection of Penfolds wines. Or sometimes all the info about the wines are disclosed but not told to the taster which is which.
I swear to god, this is how the WS is able to give Yellow Tail retarded scores in the mid-high 80's. What does someone come in with the brown bags and go "Ok gents, today we are tasting 10 Vintage Champagnes and oh yeah, the lates releases from Yellow Tail... the ones that spend all that ad money.
Double Blind on the other hand gives you little to no info. The info might be as much as Chardonnay's from Around the World or Dessert Wines - 1998 Vintage, etc.
re: newJJD
Nope. The real story is that winemakers tailor their wines to please Parker's palate.
A score of 80 to 89 is "a barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws." So a score in the mid-80s is nothing special.
That's the big problem with the point scale: scores below the mid 80s indicate mediocre to bad wine, and only excellent wines get 90 or more.
So almost all good, reasonably priced wines are squeezed into the mid to high 80s, which covers an enormous range of quality.
re: waitress
I trust Parker to give high ratings to overly alcoholic, jammy wines that I find undrinkable.
re: TexasToast
TT, You said "Turns out it tastes good to me"... At the end of the day, that's all that matters.
Scores are completely objective in nature. I will never consider Yellow Tail Products to be worthy of a score much higher than 65-70. Before you call me a snob, Let me tell you that the "House" white in my cellar is a Dunavar Pinot Gris from Hungary @ $8.95 a bottle, the red is Stickleback from Australia @ 12.95 a bottle, and I love the Rosado from Ochoa at $15. Yellow tail wines are manipulated with extra sugar and refiners to give them smoothness. They are as close to wine as a Bartle & James wine cooler. Why the high scores (80+ in WS?) Maybe its the millions they spend on advertising?
re: newJJD
I think it's the description that gets me just as much as the score though. And I'll ask the wannabe wine geek who's hovering as well. If WS likes it, and I like the description, and the dude says it's good, there's a good chance I'll like it.
Oh, and a good Red I like is the 2002 Red River Merlot from Washington.
myself like Big, Thick, Fruit-bombs as does Parker. I also enjoy rustic wines from Rioja, Navarra an Priorat in Spain, and from the Douro in Portugal. I like Merlot's and Cab's from Oregon and Washington, Pinot Noir's from Oregon and BC, Canada. And that's just the reds...
To those who say Parker ONLY rates these heavy, oaky types of wine high is sadly mistaken. Parker rates the Single Vineyard Cote-Roties from Guigal 95-100 year after year. These wines are much more elegant than powerful.
By your reasoning, the Chateau Fontenil should have been the highest rated Bordeaux from 2000 and 2003. It was easily the most concentrated, new world wine I have had amongst hundreds of samples and bottles. But yet, tens, no, hundres of more elegant wines scored much higher.
I read the notes more than the scores, but I do look at the scores as I am quite conscious of others who flock after highly rated wines, and the amount of $$$ they are willing to shell out to get them. Take Ch. Rieussec 2001 as an example. It sat on the shelves of many stores around here for $90 a bottle. Then the Spectator put it #1 in their Most Exciting Wines Issue. Price went to $150-175 overnight and it was sold out within a week!
re: newJJD
I look at the scores, read the notes, then start networking with pals about who's tried what. Then I run those facts by a couple of wine sellers in the area that have consistently proven trustworthy and go from there.
They'd laugh Parker out of the club if he didn't give Guigal Single Vineyard Cote Roties high scores.
I've had wines from his favored producers that were dog crap and they still had 90+.
There was a cartoon many years ago that had a guy in a wine shop tasting a glass of wine and saying to the proprietor "this wine is wretched."
The proprietor replies "The Wine Advisor gave it a 96!"
The customer replies "I'll take a case"
The best way to get wines in my book is to develop a relationship with the Wine Steward at your Grocery Store Wine Section or Proprietor of a Wine Shop. Tell them what you've had that you liked or didn't like, what you're going to serve it with and if they keep showing you wines you like, keep going back. If they can't figure out reliably what wines you like, you need to deal with somebody else.
re: Calamityville
Laugh him out of what club? He IS the club. I guess then you are saying the Guigal's are over-rated too... What would you score the 1999 La Landonne?
He was bold enough to take a shot at Penfolds last year, gave them the lowest scores he has ever given them after years of praise. He has integrity and is consistent. Unlike WS who scores Wolf Blass and Greg Norman wines differently even though they are the same wines.
If his palate does not match with yours don't start taking pot shots at the guy. That is why it is a called a reveiw/rating and not an undisputable final judgmnet. I'm sure wines you have enjoyed he doesn't like much. Does that mean you're drinking crap... of course not. Take Parker's words like you would an Ebert movie review.
It's not as if he and the WS are the only ones to blame... Cristal sales jumped after Quentin Tarantino and rappers glamourized it, and don't get me started on 'Sideways' and Pinot Noir.
re: Calamityville
this is written in bold letters on the front of every issue of the wine advocate: "...there can never be any substitute for your own palate nor any better education than tasting the wine yourself."
re: newJJD
I don't disagree with "...there can never be any substitute for your own palate nor any better education than tasting the wine yourself."
Unfortunately I have discovered that many folks won't taste anything that Parker hasn't scored - they'll walk out of a tasting room without trying anything if there isn't anything open that isn't in his newsletter - their fault not his. Many People ignore his very best advice.
re: Calamityville
I hate to sound like a broken record, Calamity, but again... Agreed. 100%.
I, however, don't find it unforunate at all! It leaves the untasted classics to people like you and I.
My new line to use when someone else in the store is contemplating buying the last of a wine I like:
"You know what, Parker didn't score that one very high!"
(He didn't score it low either, but probably would score it 88+, LOL... I don't lie, but I am fond of half-truths!)
re: Calamityville
Living close to Napa, we find it fun to discover wines that Parker has never rated. Many of them are simply outstanding. They come from small, family run wineries. It would be seldom that I would purchase a wine that Parker rated but that I couldn't taste. One gets spoiled being so close to the source of so many outstanding wines.
Calamity, have you ever been to Back Room Wines in the town of Napa? I was only there once, about 10 months ago, but loved the store and the owner (David), I think.
It's so hard to tell, even with the scale being only 50 points.
Wine A is an 89, wine B an 88. You taste each and agree: "Wine A is definitely 2% better than B." Sheesh!
Jeez! Dump Parker, dump the Wine Spectator. Decide on a country. Decide on a wine. Decide on a price range. Buy it and drink it (drink it implies taste it). Outside of like it/dislike it, was it worth what you paid for it? Repeat experiment in different price ranges. And, stop pouring wine down the drain, for cryin'outloud.
re: Summerfield
If you like to drink wine you don't like that's your business, but I'm going to keep sharing it with the drain.
re: Robert Lauriston
re: Robert Lauriston
Funny! I guess you and the drain are good drinking partners by now. How do you know that you are not deceiving yourself? Do you get a second opinion? Have you ever dumped a Parker 95?
re: Summerfield
No, but a group of us had consensus on dumping a wine Parker gave a 91 to.
re: Summerfield
If there are other people drinking and they like it, I don't dump it.
Most of the bottles I dump cost under $10, rarely over $15, and I don't buy wines with more than 13.5% alcohol, so that eliminates most of the wines Parker rates highly.
re: Robert Lauriston
$15 does seem to be some sort of threshold. I'll look at the 13.5% alcohol criterion.
re: Robert Lauriston
Careful with the reported % alcohols on imported wines, especially from France. Import duties to the United States are effected by % alcohol. There is an increase on taxes above a certain level (I think 13%). There is a lot of leeway that the winemakers (and distributers) can use when labeling wines. Most of the '03 Chateuneuf du Papes are labeled as 13%. There is no way these wines are anywhere close to that number. The '03 summer was scorching hot in Europe, producing jammy alcoholic wines.
A friend I work with brought up a good point in the tasting room yesterday. What is the real effect of these ratings? Americans have a palate, apprantly, for fruity big wines that are going to be drunk young. The high ratings for this style of wine only seems to encourage this trend. Winemakers are making wines geared to this style because they get high ratings and sell better. This seems to be happening even in France and Italy, though not to the extent it does in the new world. Where does this put the collector in 20 years? What about those of us are are willing and able to store wines for years until they reach maturity?
Are we going to be limited to wines that have to be drunk within 2 years? It's not like this is a life threatening dilemma or anything, but it seems like a much more serious problem for wine in general than just complaints about style prefernce.
Don't know if anyone posted this yet...I didn't read the entire thread.
Watch Mondovino if you haven't already. Maybe I was bitter this day, but I felt it had an underlining point that the point system (Parker's and Spectator's) and the globalization of wine are slowly changing winemaker styles and gearing them towards one man's (or arguement of a particular group's) palate.
Personally, I don't react to someone else's scores. If I think the wine is crap, not even my mother could convince me to get excited about it.

Experts say homeowners should keep their pets in mind when they plan landscaping projects.
Kim Todd, University of Nebraska-Lincoln associate professor in agronomy, says homeowners can create hazards for pets with landscaping.
Todd says dog owners should provide turf for their pets to run around and play in.
Todd warned about mulching gardens with cocoa bean mulch, as cocoa beans can be unhealthy for animals.
And certain plans can be toxic if they are ingested, so homeowners should make sure whatever they plant is safe.
Homeowners should also be careful with herbicides and follow directions.

Benedict Cumberbatch has dropped out of Guillermo del Toro's upcoming haunted house thriller "Crimson Peak," this according to THR. No reason was given for Cumberbatch's exit, but the trade made a point to note that scheduling was not an issue ("sources say his exit is not due to another project").
Cumberbatch is the second "Crimson Peak" star to leave the film, following in the footsteps of Emma Stone. The "Spider-Man" star departed "Peak" in June because of scheduling conflicts and was replaced in the cast by Mia Wasikowska. Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam and Wasikowska are all still attached to the film, which del Toro will shoot starting in January. (Hunnam, it should be noted, was rumored as a top choice for "50 Shades of Grey," though it's unclear if that would cause problems for "Crimson Peak"; the E L James adaptation is due in theaters on Aug. 1, 2014.)
Little is known about del Toro's film, beyond the haunted house aspect and this short plot summary from TheWrap: "a young author named Edith Cushing (Wasikowska) discovers that her charming new husband is not who he appears to be." Cumberbatch was set to play the onscreen sibling of Chastain.
For more on Cumberbatch's busy schedule and the film, head to THR.

Ohio State gashes Illinois for 441 rushing yards
BY STEVE GREENBERG Staff Reporter November 16, 2013 9:54PM
Updated: December 18, 2013 6:51AM
CHAMPAIGN — Ohio State's high rushing game under Urban Meyer heading into Saturday was a 408-yard outing earlier this season against Penn State. Illinois let the Buckeyes run wild for 441, including touchdown runs of 70 yards by Braxton Miller and 55 and 51 yards by Carlos Hyde.
"I've got to coach better," said defensive coordinator Tim Banks, "and we've got to play better."
Good ideas.
Oh, so close
Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase had another productive afternoon, throwing and running for 334 total yards, but he just missed a couple of career milestones that'll have to wait another week. The senior is four yards short of 10,000 yards in total offense and eight rushing yards shy of 2,000.
Return to prominence
V'Angelo Bentley gave Illinois just what it needed when it trailed 28-0: a spark of excitement and hope. Bentley's 67-yard punt return for a touchdown made him a rarity in the school's football annals. He is the first Illini player to return a punt for a touchdown since E.B. Halsey did it in 2003. The sophomore Bentley, who took a kickoff back 100 yards for a score against Southern Illinois, became the first player in school history to return both a kickoff and a punt for scores in the same season.

2014 BMW/M235i
I totally get the distinction now getting rid of the IS models and putting the M in front of the series. I don't really like it but some dude that gets paid way more than I do comes up with those brilliant decisions.
On the BMW website this is the information they have on the M135i. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it says it comes with an M engine. Just curious but can someone clarify this for me if I'm understanding it wrong?
BMW M135i.
The perfect interplay of engine, chassis and steering wheel as well as its precise and sporty handling allow the BMW M135i to dazzle with pure agility and suitability for everyday use.
The M Performance TwinPower Turbo straight six-cylinder petrol engine combines a TwinScroll turbocharger with Valvetronic, double-Vanos and High Precision Injection. An extremely spontaneous response, high torque even at low speeds and a wide rotational speed range characterise this powerful engine.
A powerful 235 kW (320 hp) and a maximum torque of 450 Nm are particularly impressive in light of the consumption values: an average consumption of just 7.5 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 175 g/km for the model with 8-speed automatic transmission and 8.0 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 188 g/km for the manual model underscore the excellent relationship between dynamics and efficiency*.
BMW xDrive, the intelligent all-wheel drive available as an optional extra, distributes performance variably across all four drive wheels. The result is optimal traction on any surface and pure driving dynamics with an average consumption of 7.8 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions of 182 g/km*.
* Fuel consumption and emission values are provisional and have yet to be officially confirmed.
Lack of money is not the problem. It is merely a symptom of what's going on inside of you! - T Harv Eker

Merkley: Republican Plan to Dismantle Medicare Breaks Covenant with Seniors
Merkley: Republican Plan to Dismantle Medicare Breaks Covenant with Seniors
Washington, D.C. – Oregon's Senator Jeff Merkley issued the following statement after the Senate rejected the Republican budget plan:
"Instead of laying out a vision for the future that creates jobs for the unemployed or invests in education, clean energy, and infrastructure, the Republicans offered a budget that ends Medicare as we know it and gives bonus tax breaks for the best off. Medicare is a covenant with our seniors, and must be strengthened, not dismantled."
Senator Merkley spoke on the senate floor today against the Republican budget. His full comments can be viewed here.

It's late, so we're just going to post the long version of our story that will appear in tomorrow's S-R. Read on.
LOS ANGELES – Once a formula works, why mess with it?
Washington State didn't Wednesday night and the result was a 62-40 victory over Oregon in the first round of the Pac-10 Tournament before 10,964 at the Staples Center.
The win, WSU's third this season over the 8-23 Ducks, boosted the Cougars into tonight's quarterfinal matchup with 15th-ranked UCLA. The Cougars (17-14) split with the Bruins during the regular season, winning in Los Angeles three weeks ago.
WSU earned the rubber match by defending tenaciously and executing offensively, the same recipe that cooked the Ducks in the regular season.
"A scrappy team, they want to get out, they want to get hot, they want to get fiery," said Washington State senior guard Taylor Rochestie, who was honored as the Pac-10's scholar athlete before the game.
"We've got to do what we can to slow that down."
They did, for a third time.
Oregon, the Pac-10's worst shooting team, hit just 26 percent from the floor. The Ducks were firing up 3-pointers at every opportunity but hit only 7 of the 28 they took, including 3 of their first 13.
"We got to shooters," WSU coach Tony Bennett said of his team's defense. "I think Taylor did a good job on (Tajuan) Porter, getting to him. It was important because they can get it going."
On offense, the Cougars went the other way, working the inside, with most of their 43 shots coming from within the key. The main weapon was 6-foot-10 senior center Aron Baynes.
Baynes, who had 30 points in the two regular season games with the Ducks, added 20 and eight rebounds in this one, converting 7 of 8 from the floor and all six free throws.
"(I) thought Aron did a great job getting deep post position," Bennett said. "We looked to him and he was very effective."
Power forward Caleb Forrest added 14 points and reserve DeAngelo Casto chipped in 10 as WSU had 28 points in the paint. Baynes, Forrest and Casto were a combined 17 of 20 from the field.
"We thought we had an advantage, so that was definitely a point of emphasis to pound it inside," Bennett said.
The inside-first attack worked so well it didn't matter that the Cougars missed all six of their 3-point attempts, the first time they've been shut out beyond the arc since Feb. 9, 2006 against UCLA.
"We felt the last one or two games we haven't been getting the ball inside enough," said Rochestie, who finished with a season-low four points on 1 of 5 shooting, though he had six assists and just one turnover. "The best attack is an inside-outside attack."
It was against the Ducks, who matched two freshmen – 6-8 Josh Crittle and 6-10 Michael Dunigan – against Baynes.
"We knew if I could get the ball in there, it would start opening the guards," Baynes said. "They all got me the ball in a perfect position. All I had to do, really, was go up there and put it in."
Tajuan Porter was about Oregon's only offensive threat, hitting five 3-pointers and leading UO with 20 points. No other Duck had more than six.
"He's so good," Rochestie said. "The worst thing about him is, as soon as you rest, as soon as he passes the ball, he's coming off another screen and there he comes again for a shot."
He took 16 of them, hitting six, while playing 36 minutes.
Rochestie played 35, but no other Cougar played more than 30, with most of them resting after Casto sealed the deal with a monster fastbreak dunk off a pass from Forrest with 4 minutes, 4 seconds left. That made it 60-37 and the thoughts turned to tonight's opponent, UCLA.
"That provides quite a challenge," Bennett said. "It's where we wanted to be, so we'll take it."
The Cougars had defeated Oregon twice during the regular season (and now have a six-game winning streak in the series), including a 67-38 blowout in Pullman less than a month ago. In that one, the Ducks struggled from the field, scoring a season-low 15 points in the first half and shooting 20.8 percent from the floor, also a season-worst.
The Ducks' first-half struggles against WSU continued – UO had just 17 first-half points in the first matchup in Eugene – with Oregon hitting 8 of 25 shots. But that 32 percent effort was the best the Ducks had in the three games. As were their 22 points.
But WSU was shooting well again – the Cougars came in having hit half their shots against Oregon – mostly because many of their 23 first-half shots came within 10 feet of the basket.
Baynes had six of them, hitting five and going into the locker room with 14 points. The inside nature of WSU's attack was evident in the number of 3-pointers the Cougars attempted: one. Rochestie missed it.
The Ducks were going the other way, with 16 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes.
There was a lot going on, even before the tip and the Cougars' quick 12-4 lead.
Rochestie was honored at halfcourt as the Pac-10's scholar-athlete of the year, an award won last year by WSU's Robbie Cowgill. And Oregon coach Ernie Kent went out of his way, and into the stands, before the game to shake hands with former Cougar coach Dick Bennett.
Senior forward Daven Harmeling, who missed the Washington defeat last week with a sprained right shoulder, had it taped and suited up but did not play.
• That's it for now. We'll be back in the morning with links. And, of course, we'll be back again before the UCLA game. Until then …

TTR: Women in Snowboarding: Torah Bright
A Snowboarding video by WorldSnowboardTour - 9,244 views
"Women in Snowboarding - Torah Bright" is the seventh video segment from a collection cut out of the 2009/10 Swatch TTR TV Show series. This part is the second segment giving you a taste of the "Women in Snowboarding" TV show that focused on the development of women's riding. Like the first part, this video features influential women in snowboarding as they discuss the female progression in a male dominated industry.
The pressure and the barriers are high for women to become and to stay professional snowboarders. This TV segment tells the story of the 23-year old Torah Bright (AUS), one of the most successful and well-known female riders out there, who incidentally took the Swatch TTR Tour Champion title in 2006/07 and has been paving the way for progression since she got on a board. Torah talks about her vision of the future for female snowboarding: "We got a lot more to prove to ourselves and progress snowboarding". The Australian rider is highly regarded in the snowboarding community, and top riders like Cheryl Maas (NED) praise her skills: "Torah is the best and the sickest women halfpipe rider that I've known and seen. I like the way she progresses and she doesn't stick to the same runs." She adds " The tricks she does are on a guys level."
Torah Bright is without a doubt one of the most progressive female snowboarders in the world, both in halfpipe and slopestyle. She explains how she got into practicing the Double Crippler in the pipe and her brother Ben, who has been coaching her for years, confirms his vision of Torah's future in the forefront of the development of the sport.

Disability, Prenatal Testing and the Case for a Moral, Compassionate Abortion
Written by Vyckie Garrison for RH Reality Check.This diary is cross-posted; commenters wishing to engage directly with the author should do so at the original post.
by Sierra @ No Longer Quivering
Note: If the headline didn't already clue you in, this is controversial subject matter. If you come away from this article thinking that I advocate genocide of a disabled population or the coercion of women pregnant with disabled fetuses into abortion, that I hate disabled people or think that Down syndrome people don't deserve to live, you have failed to understand my point. Please walk away from the computer, breathe deeply, and start again from the beginning.
I believe that it is possible and desirable to respect disabled people while still working to eliminate genetic disorders so that children who might have had Down syndrome or cystic fibrosis (or any other disease) have a chance to be born without them. I believe that abortion of a disabled fetus can be a compassionate choice made for morally sound reasons, and does not at all conflict with the respect due to disabled people. I am firmly pro-choice, and I believe strongly that the wellbeing of all born persons in a family is paramount before considering the needs of a fetus. My position is that fetuses are incapable of being self-aware and therefore cannot experience suffering the way born persons do. The prevention of suffering is central to my moral beliefs.
Her.meneutics, the "for women" arm of Christianity Today, recently ran an article by Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra on prenatal testing:
What You Need to Know About the Hidden Benefits (and Costs) of New Prenatal Tests
Apparently, science can do something awesome: tell you the genome of your fetus within the second trimester:
Using a blood sample from the mother and saliva from the father, scientists at the University of Washington mapped out the entire genome of a child while he was in the womb. The discovery, which was published June 6 in Science Translational Medicine, makes it possible to spot disorders from sickle cell disease to cystic fibrosis to Down syndrome in the second trimester of pregnancy.
Best of all, at least for those of us who shiver at the thought of an amniocentesis, is that it's noninvasive.
About 10 percent of the free-floating in a mother's blood belongs to her baby, and by comparing her blood with her own and the father's DNA, scientists can pinpoint which DNA belongs to the baby. From there, they can sequence the child's entire DNA code. Or at least, they can get pretty close. Their accuracy rate was about 98 percent in the infant boy they tested.
Zylstra says that, "at first blush," this information looks "incredible." Yes, it does. Because it is. This kind of technology gives us more control over our own reproduction, which means that we're better able to make ethical decisions about our parenting. As Zylstra points out, parents who are expecting a special needs child can prepare in advance for what that means.
But there's a catch, says Zylstra:
You can be emotionally prepared for his birth. You could choose a C-section if that was warranted, or line up services for him, or join a support group. Or abort him.That's the rub, said Gene Rudd, president of the Christian Medical and Dental Associations.
