Today at 2:30 p.m. a Senate Judiciary subcommittee will hold a hearing entitled: "The Bowl Championship Series: Is it Fair and in Compliance with Antitrust Law?"
Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), you'll be shocked to hear, believes that the 12-0 (which later became 13-0) team from Utah was denied the opportunity to play for the national championship by the BCS system, which picks two teams to play for the title after the regular season. In a Sports Illustrated story last week, Hatch called the BCS "biased" and claimed that it "probably" violates antitrust laws.
This is the second time this year representatives of college athletics have been hauled before Congress for a dog and pony show to score cheap political points with the folks back home. Earlier it was Rep. Joe Barton of Texas (sense a trend here?), who called the BCS "communist."
Here is the problem I have with this entire exercise. If you want to have four-team, eight-team or 16-team playoff to decide college football's national championship, then let's have that argument. I, for one, would like to see a four-team playoff where the teams are seeded 1-4. And if the Rose Bowl is willing to play ball (and that's a big IF), there is a possibility that gets done when the new BCS contract begins in the 2014 season.
What I don't like is that in criticizing the BCS, and there is a lot to legitimately criticize, those who want change show that they have not done their homework. In the interest of creating a memorable sound bite or quote, the critics show an incredible amount of intellectual dishonesty, or total lack of knowledge, about what the BCS is and is not and what it has done and hasn't done for post-season college football.
Again, I'm not a blind supporter of the BCS. There is change that I want. But here are a few facts:
Fact: Utah was not DENIED a chance to play for the BCS national championship. Utah had as much a chance to play for the BCS title as any other school. But 175 people voted in the Harris Interactive and coaches polls, two of the three components in the BCS formula. The 114 people in the Harris poll voted Utah seventh. The 61 coaches in the USA Today poll also voted Utah seventh and no coach—NONE—voted Utah higher than No. 5. Of the 114 people who voted in the Harris Poll only five voted Utah No. 5 or better.
Fact: Even the coaches in Utah's league, the Mountain West, did not step up for the Utes when it counted. Joe Glenn of Wyoming had Utah at No. 5. Rocky Long of New Mexico and Gary Patterson of TCU had them at No. 7. Kyle Whittingham, Utah's own coach, had his team at No. 5.
So where was all the love for Utah BEFORE they played Alabama in the Sugar Bowl? The fact is that while Utah deserved to win because the Utes flat outplayed the Crimson Tide (who didn't want to be there), it wasn't until AFTER the Sugar Bowl that Utah became this incredible juggernaut which should have been given the chance to play for it all.
Fact: For all of the flaws of the BCS, the fact is that it has provided bowl opportunities that the supposedly aggrieved schools had never had in the past. How many times had Utah played in the Sugar Bowl before the BCS? How many times had Hawaii played in the Sugar Bowl before the BCS? How many times had Boise State played in a New Year's Day bowl before the BCS? If you answered zero to all three questions you'd be right. "The fact of the matter is that the BCS has given access to those conference that they never had before," said former SEC Commissioner Roy Kramer, considered to be the godfather of the BCS. "Look at the history of the major bowls. They had almost never invited one of those teams before the BCS."
Fact: The original BCS agreement that was put together back in 1998 never would have happened unless the champions of those six "equity" conferences (ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, Pac-10) had been promised automatic slots.
"Those conferences already had automatic bowl bids. We (in the SEC) had a long standing agreement with the Sugar Bowl," said Kramer. "There is no way that those conferences were going to give that up without a guaranteed slot. And remember that we were working with four bowls and those were the conferences they were used to dealing with."
The fact is that the free marketplace determined that those six conferences would get automatic bids and there were at-large spots made available to teams that could play their way in. Maybe you believe that market forces have no place in college athletics, but that is how it happened. It wasn't a conspiracy to keep the other teams out. It was the only way to get the deal done.
Fact: While the six equity conferences do get an automatic bid and the $18 million payday that comes with it, the five Coalition Conferences (Conference USA, MAC, WAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt) have placed a team in the BCS in four of the past five seasons. Those five conferences get an automatic $9.5 million for participating and another $9.5 million when they place a team in a BCS game. So over the past five seasons the BCS has pumped about $80 million into those five Coalition conferences.
That's a lot of money that did not even exist before the advent of the BCS. Should the Coalition Conferences get more? Yes, and I believe they will. I also believe that in the future the conferences will be able to get more than one team in the BCS if they have two teams in the Top 10.
All of this leads us to a final fact about the BCS:
Fact: The BCS does not violate antitrust law and this Senate committee knows it. I've spoken to a number of top antitrust lawyers, including Tom Rhodes of Smith, Gambrell & Russell here in Atlanta. They all agreed that the BCS may not be popular with some college football fans but it does not violate the law—at least as the law is currently written and interpreted by the courts.
"The original agreement was put together by a group of antitrust lawyers and has been reviewed several times since," said Kramer. "Now there are some political problems that the BCS must deal with but when it comes to the law, unless it gets interpreted in a totally different way, the BCS should be on solid ground."
The fact of the matter is that whether or not you like the BCS, and a lot of folks don't, it created something that didn't exist before: A mechanism to match the No. 1 and the No. 2 team for the national championship. It also increased bowl revenues exponentially because it created something of value to the television networks. It also has access points for the teams in the Coalition Conferences. All they have to do is finish in the Top 12 of the final BCS standings.
Again, if you want a playoff, then let's have that discussion. But bashing the BCS is like bashing the IRS. It's easy. The fact is that with all of its flaws, it's better than what we used to have. I remember Georgia Tech having to play in the Citrus Bowl in 1990 to win its national championship. I remember No. 2 Penn State not getting a shot at No. 1 Nebraska in 1994. I remember No. 2 Texas not getting a shot at No. 1 Nebraska in 1983.
The system is going to change because the marketplace is going to eventually demand it, not because Congress is going to push to make its constituents happy. And that's a fact.

"Follow the Money"—-Of course it's about the money. Just like the NCAA Basketball Tournament, and every other NCAA championship playoff. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Without the television revenue generated there would be no NCAA tournament and no bowl games. Other NCAA sports generate some revenue, but nothing compared to the revenue generated by football and men's basketball. Without the television revenue from football and basketball, most other college sports would not exist.
Now, can the money also have a corrosive effect? Sure, absolutely. That's why some schools are willing to sell their souls for better recruits. Sad, but true. And the existing vested money interests are also loosely aligned against a playoff beyond the current BCS. Why? Primarily because the Pac-10 and Big Ten are AFRAID of losing their big-money Rose Bowl deal, and other conferences are afraid of losing their bowl tie-in revenue. On the other hand, the networks are waiving REALLY BIG MONEY for some form of playoff, and that's why it will eventually happen.
Read my comment above regarding a 4-team, post-bowl playoff that includes the winners from the 4 major New Year's Day bowls. It's not my idea, but it's a good compromise, and may protect enough of the existing money interests to actually get an playoff approved by the BCS conferences and their university presidents.

Otto, the "injuries excuse" is getting old. You had no more injuries than Tech did. Face it, you fell apart in the 3rd quarter and you never recovered. AND you got outcoached, just like you did against Bama and UF. Look for more of the same this year, except of course you don't play the Tide this year. Maybe the LSU team that smashed Tech will take over nicely from Bama.

gatorman770—-Agreed. Having the federal government get involved in directly regulating NCAA sports or imposing any form of college football playoff is CRAZY TALK. The NCAA and BCS are far from perfect, but anyone who thinks that the federal government can and will fix college football for the better needs to understand how 45 years of federal welfare programs have destroyed lower-income families in America and led to unaffordable healthcare. Too often the problems that the federal government seeks to fix were created or made worse by a previous government program.
Less government, fewer laws, more freedom. Read your Constitution, people.

To diminish Utah's victory by saying Bama did not want to be there is what grips my ___ about SEC rednecks such as yourself Tony.
The Bama I graduated from relished Bowl games. The fact is, FL beat Bama, Utah destroyed Bama. The two combined showed Bama was not the team the polls said they were.

Supersize the top 2 DL were out for the season and if it were not for that 3rd Qtr meltdown UGA would have still won. It was well documented UGA had more injuries than most D1. Further the Injuries excuse is just as old your babble as they both started at the same time.
UGA will return to BCS bowls and GT will return to mid pack in mediocre conf. I'm just glad that I only have to put up with you GT fans for a relatively short period of time in my life.

The season is already too long for STUDENT athletes with 12 games, possibly a conference championship game and a bowl game. That's 14 games right there without a playoff.
These kids should be students first with academics placed before athletics and public entertainment.
I liked the 10 game seasons of 30 years ago with an end of season conference winner and a scramble for who would play whom in what bowl game. Of course it was controversial and folks argued about who was better and who never got to play each other, but that was part of the fun of being a college football fan.
Now we are trying to organize the hell out of it just like over the top parents have organized the fun out of little league baseball with games that start at 9:45 on a school night just to get the games in for the standings. It's not about the kids' fun anymore.
Some people can suck the fun out of anything.
Let's can the BCS. Let the bowls invite whom they want and let people who do not like it bitch their ignorant narrow minded little pinheads off.
So who won the 1990 national championship, Georgia Tech or Nebraska? Depends on who you ask. Does it really matter in 2009 with North Korea firing long range weapons across the Pacific and Iran trying to get the bomb? No. But 1990 is still fun to argue about when an old time Tech or Nebraska fan gets teased about it in passing. And that is the fun (or WAS the fun) of college football that has been lost.

Point well taken…"It would seem CFB is thriving under the new system."
I would emphasize that it only "seems…"
College Football IS suffering, because THE FANS are suffering, financially & economically.
Sponsors & advertisers pay the TV networks. TV networks pay the schools/conferences. ALL…of the mney, comes from…THE FANS.
How many advertisers want to pay the same or more money to TV networks, when even the advertisers can see that the fans…ARENT SPENDING MONEY. How many Ohio State or Michigan fans will have the money(or even a job) by which to afford to buy from the advertisers? Fewer and fewer by the day.
The creation of the Big 10 Network is a sign of economic desparation. Coaching salaries will moderate and start "drifting" lower. Call me a heretic, but I frankly dont beleive that new SEC contract will stand for long. A "re-negotiation" will happen in 2-3 years.
With California (the 7th largest economy…in the world!) facing a complete financial meltdown, how long before that impacts Pac 10 schools like UCLA, Stanford, Cal?

Otto, don't you bother to read what you type? I quote: "… the top 2 DL were out for the season and IF it were not for that 3rd Qtr meltdown UGA would have still won." Besides your whole post reads like nothing but one big IF. If you want an IF about Tech, then IF Jahi Word-Daniels had not been out with a season-ending injury, you would not have completed nearly so many passes against us.

This article starts wrong and then gets worse from there. To start by saying Utah wasn't denied because the human polls didn't have them ranked high is damn funny. The human polls are a large part of this problem. Fact is most years unless you start the season ranked in the top 10 you have NO SHOT at #1. The jump that Bama made in the polls last year almost never happens. So any mid-level team like Utah starts the season at a HUGE disadvantage and then has to prove themselves to voters that don't like to admit they were wrong. I freely admit the system is slightly better than what we had only because #1 & #2 do play. But Tony this system is still so flawed by bias your justification of it really lessens the credibility of your writing.

No, UGA does not have the most arrests, and Tech is still the only school in the State on probation, they are behind UGA and Ga Southern in academics, and in every thing else. If you would like to put some money up behind your statements do it, or shut up with your lies. You are just a half raised mama's boy, living in your stepfathers basement.

Since the topic of this blog is supposed to be the BCS, I'll just add my opinion here. I think the whole BCS system is screwed up, and we NEED a REAL playoff system. BUT, congress nor anybody else in DC needs to be messing with it. They have screwed up this country enough, and it looks like it's getting worse every day. Let the fans decide what is best, and that includes making the TV networks and sponsors and conference heads (especially the Big 10) listen to the fans. Every fan poll I have seen sure seems to say that we want a playoff system. It's past time to have one.

The BCS is a corrupt money proposition that ESPN and other major powers are forcing on us. The deal here is very clear. The people calling the shots want controversy because it sells. Do not sit on your high horse and quote a bunch of non sense. The real deal is these people that "vote" might as well be voting in Iran. There vote counts about as much. There is now private voting, but not where it counts. ESPN still has some 37 people of 66 votes by my count. The whole system is one big marketing gimeck. Let people vote that are either college coaches with NO contracts to any other party than there school, unklike almost every major coach out there. And do away with the media getting a vote, they are just too hung up on there own power of manipulation to let them be trusted with something as infintile as voting who is the best two teams in College Football.

There's nothing preventing Utah from scheduling USC, UCLA, Arizona or Texas in a regular season matchup. If the 2nd tier conference teams want to play with the big boys, they should do so in the regular season. Then all could view their true worth.

Denver Dog, Tech is not currently on probation. Where did you get that information? The recently announced violations did not merit any kind of probation. UGAG is the school with the history of severe violations, and UGAG DOES currently have either the 1st (with 34) or 2nd (with 30) arrests of all schools in the country. It was in the AJC last week, if you had taken the time to read past the slanted headline that UF has 24. Since Tech ranks as the 6th best engineering school in the US and one of the best in the world (latest US News report), for you to say that UGAG or Ga Southern have higher academic ratings simply shows your ignorance of the facts. Incidentally, I read where yet another Tech grad is going up in the next space shuttle. How many mutts have ever piloted or even flown in a space shuttle? And how many mutts have ever walked on the moon? I can answer that for you…..ZERO. Tech has one who walked on the moon and too many to remember who have either flown on or piloted the shuttle. But you go ahead and lie there and lick your butt, like a good dog, and every once in awhile come up and bay at the moon.

Otto- If it weren't for a helmet-to-helmet against VT, GT may have won. If it weren't for LSU having a month, GT may have won. If it weren't for a bird crapping in a tree, GT may have won. See? We can all make stupid conclusions on what would or could have happened, but none of it matters except the final score. UGAy fans are such whiners. You lost- deal with it. Giving up 26 points in 1 quarter would have most teams losing. GT was missing its 2 top offensive lineman- does that negate your 2 DLs? Still doesn't matter. Want to bring up facts that only support your argument? How's this one- GT is 4 of 5 over UGAy with teams not coached by Chan Gailey.

A four team playoff or a plus one would solve everything. Let's face it. We will never go to an 8 or 16 team playoff because it will either make the season too long or diminish the bowls. And presidents will never shorten the season by 1 game to accommodate a playoff system that only benefits 8 or 16 teams. It aint gonna happen so don't waste your time even bringing it up.
In a 4 team playoff obviously a 5th team will whine about being left out but come on. There has to be a cutoff somewhere and in years past there were usually 1 or sometimes 2 teams that had a legit beef about being left out of the title game. I cannot remember ever a 5rd team being left out of a shot at the title with a legit argument but I can remember lots of 3rd and a few 4th party teams that had valid arguments to being in the title game.
Every one on here can think of 1 or 2 teams in any given year that had legitimate grievances about being left out of a title shot(Texas last year, UGA and USC in 07, Auburn in 04, Alabama every year) but who here can really remember a 5th team that really had a valid, legitimate beef about being left out of the title game?

The Big 10 network was not desperation. If it was cable networks would not have put it on expanded cable. It was a revolutionary idea at the time. The SEC was debating the same but they signed the ESPN contract. In a way the Big 10 paved the way for big TV in CFB.
Yes the economy is down but all of sports are down. However, CFB is getting more coverage than just about any sport. CFB live is on ESPN during the week in the middle of the summer, no recruiting, no spring camps, just the middle of the offseason. Yet we're still watching and sitting here debating. How many replies are the other bloggers getting talking about MLB or Baseball? Yet the AJC finds a way to get Tony on here even after budget cuts. CFB is very healthy and the media is making a fortune over us debating a playoff.

There will NEVER be a playoff UNTIL the Univ Presidents agree to it. You can blame the BCS, you can call for a playoff, you can point fingers at Ath Directors, Conferences, TV, on and on, but the group holding up a playoff are the Univ Presidents, they are on record as opposed. Dr Michael Adams, the most esteemed President of The Univ of Georgia, a man who claims to know most everything about collegiate athletics and who single handedly hired Jim Harrick, was opposed to a playoff until the 2007 season when the Dawgs got hot and were among the top 4 teams, if not top 2, teams in the nation. The President of my alma mater was suddenly a proponent of a playoff system. A transformation, a make over, Adams throwing himself into the middle of changing the BCS system. I prefer him in the middle of the BCS discussion calling for playoffs as opposed to hiring coaches given his track record.
My biggest problem with the current BCS system is the Bowl games. There should be some criteria for one of the BCS conference champions playing in a BCS Bowl. Over the past few years we've seen a weak ACC champion, be it FSU, Va Tech or Wake, playing in a major bowl while not being ranked in the Top 10. We saw a very ordinary Illinois team in the Rose playing S Cal when the nation wanted to see Georgia vs S Cal, a matchup which would have been the biggest TV draw of the Bowl season. This past bowl season we witnessed a real yawner with Cincinnati vs somebody from the ACC. The BCS system for Bowl allocation should be changed, the limit of 2 teams from any one conference to the BCS Bowl system should be eliminated. Fans want to see the best matchups, not conference tie-ins and allocation games. If a conference champion isn't strong enough to be ranked a Top 10 team, they should not be in one of the premier bowl games.
While I am at it, the Big 10 (11) needs to add a team and have a conference championship, the Pac 10 add 2 teams, and the Big East shouldn't be in the BCS formula. They were included when Miami, Va Tech and BC were members. Get with the program.
Congress has no business involving itself.

Tiebreakers? What a mess. BCS is the best we have ever had so lets be happy with it for now. No undefeated team from a legit conference has ever gotten shafted (Auburn maybe but other two teams were undefeated as well). Win all your games and your there, or get into a better conference.

Successful Aboriginal businesses run by Aboriginal managers are crucial to ensuring the self-sufficiency and sustained economic growth of Aboriginal communities. The Ch'nook Indigenous Business Education initiative at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia is an investment in future generations of Aboriginal business leaders, and the future of business in Canada.
For potential Funder Partnerships please contact:
Allyson Haug
Senior Associate Director, Development | Development and Alumni Engagement
Sauder School of Business, UBC
1600-800 Robson Street
Vancouver, B.C.
Tel: 604.822.9405 | Fax: 604.822.0592
E-mail: email@example.com
The program's mission is to encourage and support business education for Aboriginal participants. In support of this mission, Ch'nook offers a full range of educational opportunities, including the exploration of business career options with high-school students ("Cousins"), networking and support for Aboriginal students engaged in full-time business studies ("Scholars"), and the Advanced Management Program for Aboriginal participants looking to develop fundamental business knowledge and skills.
Over the past ten years, the pioneering Ch'nook venture has established a network that includes community leaders, 25 post-secondary institutions, an outstanding Advisory Board, Aboriginal Scholars, Aboriginal Bands, and members of the business community. Through this solid framework, Ch'nook provides critical business training to develop the Aboriginal management capacity that will generate sustainable economic growth and, in turn, sustainable communities.
Our objective is to significantly increase the number of students engaged in meaningful business studies through the Ch'nook initiative and across BC. Increased participation in Ch'nook will make a genuine difference in Aboriginal communities by empowering Aboriginal youth and enabling them to reach their full potential as knowledgeable and innovative members of the business community.
Core Programs and Activities
Ch'nook Cousins introduces Aboriginal students in grades 11 and 12 to entrepreneurship and management as career options. It creates connections with post-secondary Aboriginal business students and corporate partners, and emphasizes the importance of secondary and post-secondary education for future success.
The Ch'nook Indigenous Business Network engages Aboriginal students in business and management studies at higher educational institutions across the province. It aims to encourage, enable and enhance students' business education experiences through network gatherings, career and professional development, and academic and financial support. Each year, approximately 40 full-time students are recognized as Ch'nook Scholars. Each Scholar receives at $2000 scholarship, all expenses paid attendance to two provincial gatherings, as well as professional development opportunities. Though the Scholars initiative is core to the Network, there are many opportunities for other students to participate in activities and receive funding assistance from Ch'nook.
The Ch'nook Advanced Management Program is a part-time certificate program designed for Aboriginal participants with at least five years of work experience who are interested in developing enhanced business management skills. Tuition fees range from $4,500 for local students to $9,000 for non-local students. This covers tuition and course materials. The higher fee for non -local students also includes all travel, accommodation and meals.
How you can help
The support of our alumni, community and corporate partners has been crucial to the growth and continued success of Ch'nook. We invite you to help increase Aboriginal participation in business education. Below are a few opportunities for involvement:
- Financial support of the Ch'nook Indigenous Business Network enables opportunities for students to attend peer-support and educational gatherings, and provides access to career advice, academic support and financial awards.
- Your support of awards for the Advanced Management Program participants will significantly offset their tuition fees and enable their participation in the program.
- Financial contributions to Ch'nook Cousins will support the continued offering of regional gatherings to high school students.
Effective and knowledgeable leadership is vital to the sustainable economic growth and success of Aboriginal communities in British Columbia and across the country. In support of this goal, we invite our partners to join us in our efforts to increase Aboriginal participation in business education and foster the next generation of Aboriginal business leaders.
By supporting the Ch'nook Indigenous Business Education initiative, you do so much more than help a future community leader – you will help create a foundation for community success and prosperity for betterment of all Canadians. Together, we can build management capacity in Aboriginal communities.
Contact us today for more information on how you can support this innovative initiative.

"Evercore Partners needs to be more respectful to its employees."
Pros – Evercore provides the opportunity for its employees to reap the benefits of both a lucrative income, and the chance to work with, and for, some very bright and influential individuals.
Cons – Unfortunately, some members of the companies middle-management treated lower-rung employees with consistent disrespect. This often made the work-environment a rather uncomfortable place to be.
Advice to Senior Management – The disrespectful way in which middle-management treated some employees was not appropriate, nor did it reflect the image of class, quality, and integrity which the company strives to exhibit.

Added Dec 22, 2010
by Natalia *
Guelph, Canada
I made this Weekender Bag for my sister for Christmas. She pretty much only wears black, grey or white paired with jeans, so I tried to keep the colours pretty simple. Its made from black cotton canvas, with black upholstery vinyl. Having attempted this pattern before and realizing it wasn't exactly as I wanted it, I adjusted the pattern such that the straps would be longer and the black vinyl would cover the bottom and be seen from the sides as well. I think it turned out great. I lined it in a beige/almost gold polyester. There are two pockets on the front and back, with heavy duty snaps, as well as one inside. She's currently being certified as a yoga instructor, so I thought this would be a great bag for her to take with her to classes. She could have her yoga clothes, mat and towels as well as books and whatever else she needs.

America's Invisible Poor
Political leaders of both parties must confront the problem of poverty, which cries out for bipartisan solutions.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should Congress Extend Federal Unemployment Benefits?]
A renewed war on poverty like that of the 1960s may not be politically feasible or even the best way to address the problems of the poor and near poor. However, we cannot ignore the situation. There are effective solutions we should pursue – like strengthening work supports and in-kind benefits such as the earned income tax credit, the child tax credit, Medicaid and the SNAP program – which have succeeded in keeping millions of Americans healthier, out of poverty and free of hunger. Government and the private sector must zealously focus on reducing unemployment.
To start to address the problem of low-wage work, it also is time to increase the minimum wage, which – at $7.25 an hour – is 40 percent less in inflation-adjusted terms than it was in 1968. The private sector has an important role to play in these efforts. Business and government should work together to develop better pathways for occupational mobility. Employers should improve job quality by providing a living wage and essential benefits such as sick leave. Many employers are leaders in this effort, and consumers should support those businesses that provide their workers with decent wages, benefits, and opportunities for advancement.
But none of these efforts can bear fruit unless we squarely face what is not working in our economy. The problems of the poor and near poor – children, seniors, people with disabilities, workers, and unemployed people – must not be swept under the rug. Political leaders of both parties must confront this problem, which cries out for bipartisan solutions. We need a national discussion of poverty and low-wage work so that our nation's leaders can take real action to empower and improve the lives of millions living, struggling and cycling in and out of poverty; that's an act that would make America more virtuous and economically strong.

As expected, Apple has announced that O2 will be the exclusive U.K. carrier for the iPhone, which will go on sale in November.
|Wi-Fi Music Store
(view large image)
This will be essentially the same device as is currently available in the United States; despite much hope and speculation, it will not include 3G cellular-wireless networking.
However, the U.K. version of the iPhone will include support for Apple's Wi-Fi Music Store, which the U.S. version currently does not.
Pricing and Availability
The iPhone will sell for £270 when it hits the market on November 9.
O2 is offering three different service plans, with prices ranging from £35 to £55 a month. What varies among the three is the amount of talk time and SMS messages that can be exchanged; all of them include unlimited wireless data access.
Other Telcoms
According to unconfirmed reports, the iPhone will soon be released in two other European countries, but not by O2. Orange will supposedly handle France, and this smartphone will be available in Germany only through T-Mobile.
All three carriers are expected to have this device on sale by the end of November.

The Valdosta Daily Times
On Friday night, the Valwood Valiants proudly defended their home turf, edging out the Memorial Day Matadors in a thriller by a score of 13-12.
Valiant senior Carter Elliott left his mark all over the game. Two long-distance field goals, including a game-winner with only eight seconds remaining in regulation, helped seal the deal for the still-undefeated Valiants.
Valiants' Head Coach Ashley Henderson thinks very highly of his team's performance, especially that of his star kicker.
"Nobody stopped believing," Henderson said. "The funny thing about it, leading up to the kick, (Carter) told me, 'just get me inside the 30 (yard line). The boys did an excellent job of making that happen."
Coming into the contest, Henderson made it clear that his team's matchup against the Memorial Day Academy Matadors would be the first "true test" of the season.
If that is the case, the Valiants passed with flying colors.
"(Memorial Day) lives on big plays," Henderson said. "We did an awesome job preventing them from breaking out."
The first quarter was a defensive show for the defending champions. An early sack by junior defensive lineman Anthony Folkerts and strong play by senior linebacker Reggie Robinson headlined an awesome quarter for the Valiants.
While Valwood played a great defensive game, one key stop from Valiant senior defensive back Char Merine sent the Goddard Field fans into an uproar.
On the Matadors' first drive of the game, senior quarterback Earl Washington connected on a short pass to standout senior receiver Deric Wright. No sooner than Wright caught the pass and turned around, he was greeted with a devastating tackle by Merine.
Merine's hit proved to be quite a wakeup call to the opposition. After the play, an officials' timeout was called while Wright was tended to on the field. After being helped to the Matadors' sideline, Wright eventually removed his helmet and pads and did not return for the remainder of the game.
"I saw the pass and all I could think was 'get downfield'," Merine said. "I just had to make that stop. It felt great."
The Valiants only had one offensive possession in the first quarter. One possession is all they needed.
On Valwood's first play of the game, a lateral from Seth Carlo turned into a 55-yard touchdown pass from Carter Elliott to Merine.
"We actually decided Sunday that we would use that as our first play of the game," Henderson said. "We knew all along what we were coming out with."
n the second quarter, after a 60-yard punt return by Matadors' senior Marlin Latson was cut short due to a penalty, Memorial Day Academy capitalized on their field position with a touchdown pass from Washington to senior running back Malcolm Quarterman.
A failed two-point conversion left Valwood with a 7-6 lead heading into the half.
A huge 20-yard run by junior Zane Edmondson on the first play of the second half opened the door for the Valiants. After a 44-yard field goal by Elliott in the third quarter the Valiants were sitting on a 10-6 lead.
Immediately following the field goal, Elliott came up with a big tackle on the Matadors' Kendarius Dukes on the ensuing kickoff. Without Elliott's save, Dukes could have taken the left sideline to the end zone.
Valwood's defense stepped up once again as the Matadors tried to score in their own red zone. After a big stop by Folkerts on second down, a goal-line stop by senior defensive back Garrett Lovell forced Memorial Day to punt.
The Matadors did not wait long to remedy their previous mistakes with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Washington to Marlin Latson on fourth and goal. After a two-point conversion attempt was disrupted by a Marik Merine interception, the Matadors took a 12-10 lead into the fourth quarter.
After another impressive defensive showing, a Memorial Day punt left the Valiants with one final opportunity. Beginning on their own 34-yard line, Valwood was left with one minute and twenty seconds to pull out a miracle.
Valwood was able to push the ball downfield, and a subsequent face-mask penalty by the Matadors placed the Valiants at Memorial Day's 32-yard line.
After three failed attempts to move the ball, Elliott stepped onto the field with one attempt to win the game for the home team. The end result was a 42-yard field goal that sailed over the right side of the upright bar.
"I was nervous, very nervous," Elliott said. "The earlier (44-yard) kick helped ease me up a little, but I've never been in a game-winning situation like that before. I'm just glad I was able to bring it home for us."
On Memorial Day's final possession, an interception by Valiant senior Kyle Wilkes on a final pass attempt by the Matadors capped an amazing late-game comeback for Valwood.
Valiant Seth Carlo completed 9 of 15 passes for 94 yards. Junior Marik Merine added 39 yards on four rushing attempts.
The Valiants (3-0) have a week off before their next contest, a home matchup against the Cavaliers of Mount de Sales Academy (Macon, Ga.) on Sept. 27.

Knoxville — The Iowa Film Critics Association has named "The Descendants" as the best movie of 2011.
The drama, with a good helping of comedy, centers around a man (George Clooney) coping with the aftermath of a tragic accident that has left his wife in a coma. While she is still lying in a hospital bed, he learns she was having an affair, all while trying to become the main parent for the couple's two daughters.
"The Descendants" also took home the Best Director award for Alexander Payne. Payne bested Michel Hazanavicius for "The Artist" and Terrence Malick for "Tree of Life". Other Best Film nominees were "The Artist" and "Midnight in Paris".
Clooney was one of the three finalists for Best Actor, but lost to his friend Brad Pitt. Pitt impressed the IFCA critics with his performance as a struggling Major League Baseball general manager in "Moneyball". The other nominee was Jean Dujardin in "The Artist".
Best Actress honors went to Viola Davis, for her performance as a maid in "The Help". The award for Best Supporting Actress went to Melissa McCarthy, who shocked and entertained in "Bridesmaids". McCarthy beat Davis's costar, Octavia Spencer and Shailene Woodley. Woodley was nominated for "The Descendants".
Christopher Plummer was named Best Supporting Actor for "Beginners". He plays an elderly father who embraces his homosexuality, following the death of his longtime wife. "Moneyball" received another nomination in this category, with Jonah Hill making the final three with Albert Brooks, nominated for "Drive".
In the Best Animated Film category, "Rango" took home the top honors. The film defeated "The Adventures of TinTin" and "Puss in Boots".
Finally, in a category unique to the IFCA, "We need to talk about Kevin" and the documentary "Project Nim" were named "Best Film That Has Yet to Open in Iowa".
The IFCA is comprised of critics who review films for various media outlets in the state.

500 ml can, bought in a polish shop in Arnhem. Poured into my Guinness pint glass. ABV 6% NIce appearance with deep yellow golden colour, and two fingers of white, soapy head. Low to average retention. Not much of an aroma, just a usual lager smell and even that, quite faint. Malty sweetness on the taste. Aftertaste very slighty bitter. Thin body, average carbonation. Overall, drinkable and somehow enjoyable, but a bit boring nevertheless.

Appearance: Clear gold with decent carbonation and a solid finger of head on the pour. Not a lot of lace or retention to speak of though. Nothing bad, but nothing exceptional.
Smell: Sweet corn dominates the nose, and not in a subtle way. I mean it's almost to the point that I would think it was corn being warmed on the oven.
Taste: Well it does manage to bring that Lager straw taste that turns to that sweet corn taste and finishes off with a very brief earth and slight metal note. The sweetness is giving it a bit more appeal to me, but there just so little going on here.
Mouthfeel: The carbonation is nice and level, and helps out the entire beer, albeit slightly. Sadly though it doesn't last long enough. The sweetness though starts to cloy after a while which isn't nice.
Drinkability: Yeah it's drinkable, but after a while the sweetness wears out it's welcome. The mild carbonation and light body is quite good though to help it go down nicely.
Final Thoughts: If you like the taste of peaches and cream corn, this is the beer for you. However if you want a bit more of a bitter kick and more diversity in your drink, stay away.

Poured into my Czechvar fluted pilsner glass, enjoyed on a cool summer's afternoon on the patio.
As to be expected, this brew is that classic apple juice golden colour, with the pour producing a tall, yet fleeting head. A few scattered bubbles are the only survivors.
The nose is all Euro lager - sweet corn, not much else. Unremarkable, but not unpleasant.
The taste is the feeling of "meh", liquified and bottled. A resoundingly "snuh" experience punctuated with the occasional outburst of "it's okay I guess." I also detect subtle notes of exactly the same taste as every other mass-markete eastern European lager. Sweet, a bit of corn, mild mild hops to the finish, which is slightly dry. As the beer warms (do not let this happen). a funky grainy taste starts to emerge which is entirely unpleasant.
Carbonation is light, but sufficient. Thin bodied.
Sorry, Zubr bottle label, despite your high hopes, I do not "imagine a place of pristine undisturbed nature" when I taste your beer, nor do I "feel how, with every sip I take...go into the depths of the forest." What I do feel is that same feeling I get every time I pick up a hard-to-pronounce Eastern European lager, and that's 'deja bu' - the feeling that somehow, somewhere, I've drank this exact same beer before.

Any and all bubbles seem to have already run and hid in the enormous, creamy mass that is the beer's head. Although parts of it start to crumble with aeration, the main frame and bulk of it stay intact. The beer's body is spectacularly clear and dazzlingly golden in hue. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't one of the best looking lagers I've come across in some time.
The aroma, on the other hand, is not only dime-a-dozen amongst industrially produced lagers but it's also one that, relative to any unadulterated beer, is somewhat foul and off-putting by comparison. Notably, this is made so because of the prevalence of corn (not barley malt) - despite what some brewers might think, the difference is quite apparent.
And it's especially noticeable in the taste which, rather than being toasty and dry and biscuity, is saccharine sweet and resembles the syrup mixed in with fountain pops. Indeed, it tastes much more like a soda than it does a beer. While that may make it more agreeable to the general public, real beer drinkers, like myself, do not appreciate corn syrup.
And I dislike it exponentially more when it's combined with a subtle, but noted, hint of alcohol. Why brew it so strong if you're not going to market it under the 'mocne' (strong) moniker? Once again, anyone looking for a quenching, gratifying pint is stood up by a product that, although it may resemble beer, offers none of the satisfaction or delight.
The Wisent (European bison) that adorns this brewery's labels was almost hunted to extinction; too bad this beer wouldn't disappear. No one would miss it. Unlike the vulnerable Eurasian bison, this beer has dozens and dozens of species just like it and none of them serve much purpose, other than to intoxicate. Poland can make just as good a lager as its neighbors Germany or the Czech Republic, but you wouldn't know it from this.

Zubr is one of Poland's most popular brands of beer and also recommended by my coworker and his Polish descent. Todays sample was purchased at the LCBO.. the best before date a good eight months away.
Off the pour you are left with a fairly typical looking euro lager. A deep golden colour topped with a heavily carbonated head that subsides quickly. It falls to a small white ring that stays with the drink to the bottom of the glass.
The smell is light but there's malts there and alcohol with some grain and hops. Upon tasting it though you get a much more pronounced view of things. The maltiness is there along with the alcohol but more-so are the hops - right from the get go. Stronger than you would think and they stay till the end with a bit of a soapy residue. There really isn't much transition in this beer to speak of.
Drinkability gets better as you get closer to the bottom of the glass but another, at least in my case, was not on the evenings agenda.

Green 500ml can. Purchased in Krosno, brought back home to me by my loving sister. Thanks Jen!
Clear, orangey gold, topped with a thick puff of white foam.
Smells like clean pils malt, with a generous saaz/zatec/lublin dry hopping. Nothing out of the ordinary for a euro lager, but well done.
The flavor opens up with crackling carbonation carrying moderate pils malt sweetness. A bit sweeter and less dry than your average euro lager, finishing with moderate, soapy hoppage. A bit of a boozy undercarriage. Not bad.

I tried this beer on June 26, 2007 after purchasing from my local LCBO store. This was This beer pours a translucent medium golden colour with a thick white head that lasts longer than 10 seconds. The aroma is both grainy and malty, a pleasant combination. It is crisp and clean on the mouth like a lot of European lagers with slight hints of carbonation. The taste is malty and slightly better. Another beer I would recommend.

Pours a clear gold color with a shortlived head and no lace to speak of. The aroma is of pancakes and glints of grassy hops. The taste is well balanced with malt sweetness grain husk, a wall of hop aroma and bitterness. Theres a bit of adjuncty corn flavor but its very understated. The finish is is lightly bitter and with a lingering sweetness. The mouthfeel is somewhat sticky with a heavy amount of carbonation.
This is a decent pilsner style beer. Id recommend trying it.
Note: My bottle said it was 5.8 percent ABV. Theres another Zubr beer thats 5.8% but that one is made by another brewery and mine has 'Djlidy' clearly printed on the front label.

5.8% abv 500ml brown bottle that doesn't look anything like the one in the pic. This is the Polish Zubr, not the Czech one. Pretty sure I'm reviewing the right one...
Medium gold colour with some small bubbles rising. If the head had any sort of staying power, I would have said it looked good. Smells like not much, same with taste. Nothing bad about it - there's a hint of bitterness and barely there hops. Almost no aftertaste.
Medium carbonation. Medium body. Drinkable, sure, like water is drinkable. Good for a hot summer day.

This is Zubr from Bialystok in northeastern Poland, not to be confused with the Czech beer of the same name. Zubr just means "bison" as Poland is the only country in Europe that still has these mighty beasts in the wild. Not sure why the Czechs are commemerating this also..
A classic golden lager pours into my glass, accompanied by a mass of drippy foam that clears out pretty quickly to a thin cap. Lots of visible carbonation as well. Malt and alcohol rule the nose along with a bit of a caramel tinge.
At first the taste hits clean but is then smothered by sweet malt with a bit of a fruity accent. Definitely reminds a bit of malt liquor due to the the high alcohol and finishes with a bit of unneceassary grittiness. However, this is not a bad beer and more interesting than I expected.
More drinkable than most of the Mocne beers like Warka strong, this has plenty of flavor and delivers a solid punch to match. Not for everyone but I can see some virtue here.

I bought this and thought i would give it a try, being the first from Poland that i have tried. This beer pours a golden brown to a nice creamy head that sits on the top nicely. Smells a little weak, but not bad. Taste is pretty good, smooth, not too bitter. The feel in the mouth is a little bite, that disappears to no aftertaste. This is a drinkable beer, similar to most Euro Lagers. I would get this one again, it's a pretty decent brew.

The beer pours a gold color with a thick frothy white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a clean and crisp pale malt scent that is slightly sweet and dry. The taste is decent as well. It has a light, yet sweet and malty flavor that boasts of pale malts and lager yeast. It's your typical lager, but with a bit more malts and flavor. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a low bodied beer with good carbonation. This is a good Euro lager. It's nothing too impressive, but it has a clean pale malt flavor that is sweet and very drinkable.

A forthright gathering of durable mousse over golden liquid foreshadows a beer adequately equipped with carbohydrates. Even before summoning the nose, it announces a sweet, floral bouquet of lilac and apple blossoms intermixed with toasted white bread. Freshly cracked sweet pearls of grain are evident as the mouth begins. On the palate it is slippery smooth, pillowy, and urgently tannic on the finish. Along the way to a nicely balanced, medium-length finish it delivers flavors of butter-crusted apple pie, ripe twigs and velvet.
This is a very clean, bready, moist lager that should satisfy those seeking higher gravity in a lager.

A clear, yellowish-gold body reveals average-sized bubbles rising quickly beneath a short head of bright white foam that drops almost immediately to an average collar and whispy surface covering. Surprisingly, however, it still leave some thin splashes of lace about the entire glass. A sweetish, grainy malt peppered with grassy and herbal hops and a waft of alcohol greets you in the nose. The body is medium-full and it's median carbonation is lightly crisp across the tongue. The flavor is exactly as the nose suggets without deviation. What alcohol is present (it's 6.2%) is well-heeled, and never becomes apparent in the flavor other than a touch of spiciness in the finish that may also be due in part to the hops employed. It finishes dry but with a quick flash of sweet malt that quickly comes and goes. A decent, strong Polish lager.

Former Democratic leader Howard Dean dealt a blow to Senate Democrats today, when Greg Sargent at The Plum Line reported that Mr. Dean called for the Senate health care bill to be killed. The interview was conducted on Vermont Public Radio with host Bob Kinzel.:(bolding is mine)
(Dean) "This is essentially the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate. And, honestly, the best thing to do right now is kill the Senate bill and go back to the House and start the reconciliation process, where you only need 51 votes and it would be a much simpler bill."
(Kinzel) Dean defended using this alternative budget approach for a policy bill. He argues it's been used more than 20 times by recent presidents.
(Dean) "The American people don't care how we get this, as long as we get a decent process. The Republicans in the Senate will moan and groan, but they're out of touch with where America really is. You have the vast majority of Americans want the choices, they want real choices. They don't have them in this bill. This is not health care reform and it's not close to health care reform."
(Kinzel) Dean says there are a number of good elements in the current Senate bill, like more money for community health centers, which should now be passed on their own:
(Dean) "There are some good things in this bill, but they're small, and let's have a small bill for this $32 billion. Doesn't sound like a small amount, but compared to a trillion dollars - 27 percent of which is going to go to the insurance companies' pockets, it's a small price to pay to help community health care centers and prevention and wellness programs."
(Kinzel) In recent months, Dean has emerged as a leading liberal advocate for health care reform and his comments to kill the current bill could encourage some progressive members of the Senate to rethink their support for the legislation.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D - Calif.) was taken aback by Mr. Dean's comments and responded to the idea of killing the health care bill this evening to the Washington Times.:
"Well I think that would be a tragedy. This is our one chance, and if we miss it, its gone and you can always do technical corrections and additions later, but there is so much in this bill that is good for people. To ignore the opportunity to pass it, to me, is just catastrophic. It won't come up again for a long time."
Senator James Inhofe (R - OK) noted that the former Vermont governor's idea for reconciliation would be a real problem for Democrats.:
"Everyone now is more aware of what reconciliation is now than what it used to be. It's an admission that this can't happen."
By using the process of reconciliation, Democrats can break a GOP filibuster by passing a bill with just 51 votes. Using this process, there could be enough Democrats who support a public option. However, reconciliation can only be used for bills dealing with budgetary issues, so other reforms and regulations would have to pass as well.
In the meantime Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D - NV) has yet to reach a sixty vote threshold for support on the health care bill to break a filibuster on the Senate floor.
