Looking ahead to big games
10 best rivalries
Latest CFB videos
Check the full schedule -
Up next: at Kentucky (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: vs. No. 10 LSU (Nov. 9)
Worth noting: A.J. McCarron went 15-of-16 with four TDs against Georgia State. Alabama hasn't lost to Kentucky since 1997, when Tim Couch threw for four TDs in a 40-34 overtime win. -
Up next: at No. 16 Washington (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: at No. 5 Stanford (Nov. 7)
Worth noting: Perhaps Marcus Mariota should be the Heisman front-runner. He has 14 TDs and no interceptions through the air and averages 12.1 yards per carry with seven TDs on the ground.
Up next: vs. Boston College (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: vs. No. 6 Florida State (Oct. 19)
Worth noting: Some might see Boston College as a trap game, but Tajh Boyd is 15-1 at home as a starter. Let the hype for Florida State begin.
Up next: vs. Iowa (Oct. 19)Next
Circle the date: at No. 18 Michigan (Nov. 30)
Worth noting: For all the talk about the quarterbacks, heavy-duty running back Carlos Hyde it the key to an undefeated season. He has 43 carries for 253 yards and three TDs in two Big Ten games.MORE: Best images from Week 6 -
Up next: vs. at Utah (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: vs. No. 11 UCLA (Oct. 5)
Worth noting: Stanford's beating teams by an average of 18 points per game. With the BCS beauty pageant in full swing, Kevin Hogan and Co. need to engineer a few blowouts along the way.
Up next: at No. 3 Clemson (Oct. 19)Next
Circle the date: at No. 3 Clemson (Oct. 19)
Worth noting: Freshman Jameis Winston has three games with at least four TD passes, and the Seminoles have an extra week to prepare for the showdown with Clemson. -
Up next: vs. Rutgers (Oct. 10)Next
Circle the date: vs. Central Florida (Oct. 18)
Worth noting: Teddy Bridgewater owns a 16:1 TD:INT ratio, and he'll have the ESPN spotlight on Thursday against Rutgers and Friday the following week against Central Florida. Enjoy. -
Up next: vs. Cal (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: at No. 5 Stanford (Oct. 19)
Worth noting: The Bruins haven't started 5-0 since 2005. Brett Hundley and Co. survived a scare at Utah but can't afford to look past Cal before the Pac-12 championship rematch with Stanford. -
Up next: vs. Texas (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: vs. Texas (Oct. 12)

Circle the date: at Penn State (Oct. 12)
Worth noting: Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr went 9-2 against Penn State. Rich Rodriguez went 0-3. This is Brady Hoke's first crack against the Nittany Lions, and it won't be easy on the road. -
Up next: vs. Iowa State (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: at No. 12 Oklahoma (Oct. 26)
Worth noting: Texas Tech's 5-0 start is tempered by the potential loss of quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was injured in a 54-16 win against Kansas. Davis Webb is on the spot. -
Up next: vs. UNLV (Oct. 19)Next
Circle the date: at San Jose State (Nov. 29)
Worth noting: Can Derek Carr make a run at the Heisman Trophy? He threw five TDs against Idaho. Carr has 19 TDs and three 400-yard games. -
Up next: vs. Akron (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: at Toledo (Nov. 20)
Worth noting: The Huskies have won 22 straight games at home, but be leery of Akron, which nearly broke Michigan's home win streak earlier this season. -
Up next: at No. 7 Georgia (Oct. 12)Next
Circle the date: at No. 7 Georgia (Oct. 12)
Worth noting: The "other" undefeated SEC team has been helped by efficient play from James Franklin. Missouri led Georgia 10-9 at halftime last season before losing 41-20. -
Up next: vs. Memphis (Oct. 12)
Circle the date: at Louisville (Nov. 16)
Worth noting: The Cougars have won the last three meetings with Memphis by a combined score of 134-51.

Blake Shelton visits 'Chelsea Lately' -- flirts a lot, talks Christmas album a little
August 08, 2012
Just in case you missed Blake Shelton on 'Chelsea Lately' last night, check out the video above and get ready to laugh. Blake flirts a whole bunch and talks a little about his new Christmas album. Unfortunately it's just a short clip. I'll post a longer one if/when I find one.
And speaking of Blake's festive new CD, 'Cheers It's Christmas' will hit stores October 2, 2012, and will features friends Reba McEntire and Michael Buble. It also has a very special song that Blake wrote and sang with his mom called Time for Me to Come Home.
And if you're wondering where the title 'Cheers It's Christmas' came from, I think Miranda Lambert had a little something to do with that. She recently tweeted:
@blakeshelton: "Cheers, It's Christmas!". Such a clever title. Someone really awesome must have thought of that name:)!

Pseudotumor cerebri is a condition in which the pressure inside the skull is increased. The brain is affected in a way that the condition appears to be -- but is not -- a tumor.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension; Benign intracranial hypertension
The condition occurs more often in women than men, especially in obese women who are about to go through menopause. It is rare in infants, but can occur in children.
The cause is unknown.
Certain medicines can increase your risk of this condition. These medicines include:
The following factors are also related to this condition:
Symptoms include:
Symptoms may get worse during physical activity, especially when you tighten the stomach muscles.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. Signs of this condition include:
Even though there is increased pressure in the skull, there is no change in alertness.
Tests that may be done include:
Diagnosis is made when other health conditions are ruled out. Several conditions may cause increased pressure in the skull, including:
Treatment is aimed at the cause of the pseudotumor.
A lumbar puncture can help relieve pressure in the brain and prevent vision problems.
Other treatments may include:
Patients will need to have their vision closely monitored. There can be vision loss, which is sometimes permanent. Follow-up MRI or CT scans may be done to rule out hidden cancer.
Sometimes the condition disappears on its own within 6 months. Symptoms can return in some persons. A small number of patients have symptoms that slowly get worse and lead to blindness.
Vision loss is a serious complication of this condition.
Call your health care provider if you or your child experiences the symptoms listed above.

Ulcerative colitis is a condtion in which the lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum become inflamed.
Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Crohn's disease is a related condition.
Inflammatory bowel disease - ulcerative colitis; IBD - ulcerative colitis
The cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown. People with this condition have problems with the immune system. However, it is not clear if immune problems cause this illness. Stress and certain foods can trigger symptoms, but they do not cause ulcerative colitis.
Ulcerative colitis may affect any age group. There are peaks at ages 15 - 30 and then again at ages 50 - 70.
The disease can begin the rectal area. It may involve the entire large intestine over time. It may also start in the rectum and other parts of the large intestine at the same time.
Risk factors include a family history of ulcerative colitis, or Jewish ancestry.
The symptoms can be more or less severe. They may start slowly or suddenly. About half of people only have mild symptoms. Others have more severe attacks that occur more often. Many factors can lead to attacks.
Symptoms include:
Children's growth may slow.
Other symptoms that may occur with ulcerative colitis include the following:
Colonoscopy with biopsy is most often used to diagnose ulcerative colitis. Colonoscopy is also used to screen people with ulcerative colitis for colon cancer.
Other tests that may be done to help diagnose this condition include:
The goals of treatment are to:
You may need to be treated in the hospital for severe attacks. Your doctor may prescribe corticosteroids. You may be given nutrients through a vein (IV line).
Certain types of foods may worsen diarrhea and gas symptoms. This problem may be more severe during times of active disease. Diet suggestions include:
You may feel worried, embarrassed, or even sad or depressed about having a bowel accident. Other stressful events in your life, such as moving, or losing a job or a loved one can cause digestive problems.
Ask your doctor or nurse for tips on your to manage your stress.
Medicines that may be used to decrease the number of attacks include:
Surgery to remove the colon will cure ulcerative colitis and removes the threat of colon cancer. You may need surgery if you have:
Most of the time, the entire colon, including the rectum, is removed. After surgery, you may have:
Social support can often help with the stress of dealing with illness, and support group members may also have useful tips for finding the best treatment and coping with the condition.
The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) has information and links to support groups.
Symptoms are mild in about half of people with ulcerative colitis. More severe symptoms are less likely to respond well to medicines.
Cure is only possible through complete removal of the large intestine.
The risk of colon cancer increases in each decade after ulcerative colitis is diagnosed.
You have a higher risk for small bowel and colon cancer if you have ulcerative colitis. At some point, your doctor will recommend tests to screen for colon cancer.
More severe episodes that recur may cause the walls of the intestines to become thickened, leading to:
Problems absorbing nutrients may lead to:
Less common problems that may occur include:
Call your health care provider if:
There is no known prevention for this condition.

quote:Or 6 losses in 7 years and 4 National Titles.
quote:1986: 11-1, lost NC game 14-10 1987: 12-0 NC 1988: 11-1 lost at NC ND 31-30 (missed 2 pt on last play) 1989: 11-1 NC 1990: 10-2 #3 1991: 12-0 NC 1992 : 11-1 lost NC game badly this time
quote:Miami never won a big game outside the state of Florida. When they went on the road, they lost. That's the knock on that run. Impressive as hell, though, especially cuz it came out of nowhere.
quote:Miami never won a big game outside the state of Florida. When they went on the road, they lost
quote:FSU might have more national titles if they had a FG kicker. Finished #4 and #2 respectively.
quote:man do i miss Saban
quote:There's always something with Bama that feels like they get the breaks in winning NTs while some teams have dominated in the past and didn't win the title.
quote:Even if they don't win this year (which I don't think they will), they'll be the favorite for 2013. So it could be 7 losses in 7 years and 3 national titles.
quote:Penn State realized in the game tape that if you got Tesdeverde to 3rd and long...he only looked at his primary receiver all the way. Their whole game plan was to shorten the game with their ball control on offense...stop Miami's run and get Tesdeverde to 3rd and long...when PSU would bring in extra linebackers as DB's.
quote:So two conference championships in 5 years? In the last 20 years I would say USC, FSU, and Nebraska have had more impressive runs and Miami, Oklahoma an Florida have had comparable runs.
quote:Yeah, Miami's only won one bowl game played outside the Orange Bowl during their national championship years and that was in 1989 against Alabama.

quote:Since this would be for the GF's use as well, then I'd say a .38 is a pretty good choice.

text: This past summer of 2011 I spent a month in New Mexico. I was shown a piece of burned metal which was said to be a part from an unknown craft that crashed in the area of Roswell, NM back in 1947. The silver in color scratch marks are from rubbing it on concrete causing the metal to make large sparks. This object was given to this person back in the early 1980's and the original owner has more pieces. One of the pieces of debris was said to have an unknown language written on it. I can't get into details because I don't want any government or "men in black" personnel visiting the owner of the metal object.

History in Cooperstown
Baseball history comes alive every day at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, but during New York State History Day, the topics grow to cover a wider range of the past.
Cooperstown has been the location of New York State History Day for more than 10 years now, and continued that tradition Friday, hosting a competition for a yearlong educational program where students from all over New York State learn an exciting way to study history and present their ideas.
"Each year the competition has a theme and this year's is Debate and Diplomacy in History," said John Odell, the curator of history and research for the Hall of Fame and a judge for the competition. "Then each student can choose their topic in that theme. This year's run from Ancient Greece all the way to the Patriot Act."
Students express what they have learned through a paper, creative and original performance, documentary, website or exhibit in either a junior division (6-8th grade) or senior division (9-12th grade). They have won at local and regional competitions before competing at the state level.
"Over 400 kids will participate today and the top students will have a chance to go on to nationals," said Jim Gates, Librarian for the Hall of Fame and also a judge. "There are college scholarships awarded there, so for those that move on, the rewards can be quite substantial."
The Baseball Hall of Fame is only one location for students to explore during History Day as judging is also taking place at the The Farmers' Museum, Fenimore Art Museum and Otesaga Resort Hotel. Cooperstown Village Historian Hugh MacDougall, who spent 30 years as a diplomat in Africa and Asia with the U.S. State Department before retiring, teamed with Odell and Gates to judge papers on Friday. They received the works two weeks in advance to preview and read them before the student is interviewed.
"The interview is meant to clarify questions the judges have on the paper, rather than affect the rating or scoring," said MacDougall. "It gives us a chance to speak with the student and find out why they chose their topic and made the choices they did."
Students have strict rules for their research and must meet proper style, citation and source requirements.
"One of the goals of this program is to maintain the excitement about history these kids have and educationally, to learn the research process, which can be a real challenge," said Gates. "It allows them to develop critical thinking and analysis skills."
Not only do students get a chance to tour world-class Museums and present their work, they are encouraged to meet students from other schools, exchange ideas and gain new insight. Through this experience, students learn all of the hard work that goes into understanding a topic of history and gain context as to why it was important.
"The students are encouraged to take a topic and apply it broadly to the real world," said Odell. "They have to make interpretations of the topic and draw conclusions about how it applies to American culture, which is very much what we do at the Hall of Fame with baseball history."
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Globalrose suggests these simple care tips to keep your Roses fresh and beautiful.
• It is recommended that your Roses be delivered (two to three days before the event) to an address where someone can receive and care for them. If this is not possible, your Roses will be left in a safe place at the delivery address. All our orders are dispatched with signature release authorization.
• It is very important to bring your Roses indoor as soon as they are delivered. If this is not immediately possible, make sure you place your Roses box in a cool place. Roses should be stored at room temperature as long as they are kept away from heat or cold sources and out of direct sunlight.
• Before you unpack your Roses, choose a work area that includes a table or counter top and a floor that can resist water. Have handy a set of shears and several empty containers.
• When you are ready to arrange your Roses, open the box/es and begin by removing the Roses bunch by bunch. Without removing the plastic wrappers protecting the Roses buds, remove all other packaging materials from the box/es. Keep in mind that each bunch has several Roses (25 per bunch).
• Prepare containers/buckets by filling them with room temperature water. Immediately after your Roses arrive, pour in and mix the enclosed floral food packets provided with each Roses order. The floral food has been shown to increase the life of fresh Roses by several days. Save a few packets for when you change the water in a few days.
• Cut each stem one inch from the bottom. Place the Roses in water immediately after cutting them. Re-cutting Roses stems from time to time is important (every two days), as stem tips may be incapable of transporting water to the Roses over time.
• Be sure to remove any leaves that fall below the water line to prevent bacteria from forming. Floral food provided and enclosed with each order will also help to limit bacteria growth.
• Place Roses in your prepared water-filled containers. Ideally, the plastic wrappers should be kept while the Roses are hydrating. Hydration occurs anywhere between six to eight hours.
• To ensure longer lasting Roses, continue to keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Change the water and cut Roses stems one inch every other day. Each time you change the water, add more floral food and be sure that no leaves sit below the water level.
• With the passage of time, give your roses a "face-lift" every couple of days by gently removing discolored or drooping petals from your Roses.
Enjoy your flowers.

An open lung biopsy is surgery to remove a small piece of tissue from the lung. The sample is then examined for cancer , infection, or lung disease .
Biopsy - open lung
An open lung biopsy is done in a hospital operating room under general anesthesia , which means you are asleep and pain-free. A tube will be placed through your mouth and into the airway that leads to the lungs.
After cleaning the skin, the surgeon makes a cut in the chest area and removes a small piece of lung tissue. The wound is closed with stitches.
A chest tube may be left in place for 1 - 2 days to prevent the lung from collapsing.
Today, most centers use a technique called video-assisted thoracoscopy, which uses a camera and tiny instruments to biopsy the lung. With this method, only two small cuts are made. There is much less pain and the recovery is much faster.
You should tell the health care provider if you are pregnant, allergic to any medications, and if you have a bleeding problem. Be sure to tell your doctors and nurses about all the medicines you take, including herbs, supplements, and those bought without a prescription.
You will be asked not to eat or drink for 8 to 12 hours before the procedure.
When you wake up after the procedure, you will feel drowsy for several hours. You may have a mild sore throat from the tube. You will feel some discomfort and pain at the site of the biopsy.
The open lung biopsy is done to evaluate lung problems seen on x-ray or CT scan .
The lungs and lung tissue will be normal.
Abnormal results may be due to:
The procedure may help diagnose a number of different conditions, such as:
There is a possibility of infection or an air leak into the chest. Your risk depends on whether or not you already have lung disease .
