World Cup R4.2: Grischuk, Nielsen and Polgar level scores
FULL REPORT After losing their first games of the FIDE World Cup's 4th round, Alexander Grischuk, Peter Heine Nielsen and Judit Polgar all managed to level the scores. David Navara, Teimour Radjabov and Peter Svidler reached the quarter-finals already.
General info
The 2011 FIDE World Cup is a 128-player knock-out taking place August 27-September 20 in Khanty-Mansiysk, Siberia. The tournament delivers three participants for the next Candidates tournament/matches, as part of the new World Championship cycle. Except for the final, all rounds have 2-game matches at the FIDE time control: 90 minutes for 40 moves followed by 30 minutes to finish the game, with a 30-second increment from the first move. In case of a 1-1 tie, on the third day of the round there's a tie-break with rapid games and if necessary blitz games and an Armageddon. More info here. |
Round 4.2
Chess can be such a wonderful sport to watch, and thanks to the Russian Chess Federation the dramatic second game between Judit Polgar and Leinier Dominguez in the World Cup's fourth round was indeed wonderful to watch. We really think that the live page is designed close to perfection, with easy access to the games, computer analysis and a TV screen all together. Here's what happened in that game:
Khanty-Mansiysk, 2011
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Qb6 5. Nb3 Nf6 6. Nc3 e6 7. Bg5 a6 8. Qf3 Be7 9. Qg3 d6 10. O-O-O O-O 11. Kb1 Rd8 12. f4 Qc7 13. Bd3 b5 14. Qh4 h6
15. Bxh6!
A correct sacrifice. Dominguez probably thought he'd get a perpetual somewhere.
15... gxh6 16. Qxh6 Ne8
16... b4 looks risky but might be possible: 17. Nd5 exd5 18. Qg5+ Kf8 19. Qh6+ Ke8 20. Qh8+ Bf8 21. Qxf6 d4
17. e5 f5 18. Bxf5! exf5 19. Nd5 Bf8 $1 20. Nxc7 Bxh6 21. Nxa8 Bxf4 22. exd6 Bxd6
In a must-win situation an unbalanced ending with the bishop pair is something Polgar could be happy with.
23. Nb6 Be6 24. Nd5 Kf7 25. Ne3 Nf6 26. g3 Ng4 27. Nxg4 fxg4 28. Nd4 Nxd4 29. Rxd4 Bc7 30. Rf1+ Ke7 31. Re4 Rg8 32. a4 Bd6 33. axb5 axb5 34. Rf5 b4 35. Rh5 Rg6 36. h3 gxh3 37. Rxh3 Kd7 38. Rh7+ Kc6 39. b3 Bd5 40. Re3 Bxg3
It's very difficult to win this, but at least one can try for long.
41. Ra7 Rg4 42. Ra4 Bf4 43. Re1 Bd2 44. Rd1 Bc3 45. Ra6+ Kb7 46. Ra5 Be4 47. Ra4 Rg2 48. Ra2 Kb6 49. Rd6+ Kb5 50. Rd1 Bf3 51. Rf1 Kc5 52. Ra7 Be4 53. Rc1 Kb6 54. Ra2 Rg3 55. Rf1 Bg7 56. Kc1 Rg2 57. Kb1 Rd2 58. Kc1 Rh2 59. Kb1 Bc3 60. Rd1 Bf3 61. Rf1 Kc5 62. Ra7 Be4 63. Rc1 Kd4 64. Rd7+ Ke3 65. Re7 Rh6 66. Ra7 Bd2 67. Rg1 Kf2 68. Rd1 Ke2 69. Rg1 Be3 70. Re7 Rh4 71. Rg8 Bd4 72. Ka2 Kd2 73. Rd7 Bxc2 74. Rh8?
74... Rxh8?
With 74... Kc1! Black could have decided the game immediately. Now the famous RB-R ending appears.
75. Rxd4+ Bd3 76. Rxb4 Kc3 77. Ra4 Rh2+ 78. Ka3 Rb2 79. Rg4 Rxb3+ 80. Ka4
This is actually a version where the stronger side is winning, but with the clock ticking and the huge pressure, for long Polgar cannot find the winning plan.
80... Rb1 81. Ka5 Rb5+ 82. Ka4 Rf5 83. Rg3 Rf4+ 84. Ka3 Rf1 85. Rg2 Rh1 86. Rb2 Ra1+ 87. Ra2 Rb1 88. Rg2 Rb3+ 89. Ka4 Rb4+ 90. Ka3 Rb6 91. Rg4 Ra6+ 92. Ra4 Rb6 93. Rg4 Rb7 94. Rh4 Rb1 95. Rh2 Rb6 96. Rh4 Bf1 97. Rg4 Rb5 98. Rg3+ Bd3 99. Rg4 Rb1 100. Rg2 Rb3+ 101. Ka4 Rb5 102. Rg4 Rf5 103. Ka3 Rf1 104. Rg2 Rb1 105. Rh2 Bf5 106. Rg2 Bd3 107. Rh2
Finally the winning idea. Dominguez was looking at his score sheet all the time, but didn't really have time to check if there was a threefold repetition. As far as we can see, there was never a position three times with the same player to move.
108. Rf2 Bc4 109. Rf3+ Bd3 110. Rf2 Rb3+ 111. Ka2 Rb6 112. Ka1 Rg6 0-1
This means Polgar and Dominguez have to fight it out in a tie-break on Thursday. After the game Polgar was all smiles at the press conference of course, and said she did know the ending, and how to win it, but the circumstances made her forget about it.
Peter Heine Nielsen also levelled the score against his opponent Vugar Gashimov; the first loss for the Azerbaijani GM.
Khanty-Mansiysk, 2011
Nielsen has played an excellent game so far, keeping an advantage right from the start. The following move wins two pawns, but the game isn't finished until much later.
53. Nxh5+! gxh5 54. Bb5 Nf4+ 55. gxf4 Qe4+ 56. Qxe4 Rxe4 57. Rxc5 Bxh4 58. Rxh5 and White won the ending 54 moves later.
The third player who lost the first game, but not the match yet, was Alexander Grischuk. He beat Potkin convincingly.
Khanty-Mansiysk, 2011
27... Rc8?
In a difficult position already Black now loses quickly.
28. Rb2 Rc7 29.Rb6 Nc4
30. Bg4! g6 31. Bxe6+ Kg7 32. Rxb7! 1-0
In a classical Scheveningen, Ivanchuk was slightly worse at some point but then the tables turned. Bu Xiangzhi then defended well and so they will go to the tie-breaks too, like Ponomariov and Bruzon who also drew their second game. Navara again beat Zherebukh and reached the quarter-finals, together with Radjabov, who held Jakoveno to draw, and Svidler:
Khanty-Mansiysk, 2011
This position will be included in many future tactics books.
26... Re2!! 27. Qc3
27. Qxe2 Qg3!
27... Rxf2 28. Nc6 Rxf1+ 0-1
Of course Svidler was happy with this game and the mini-match in general. At the wonderful press conference, which he did in both Russian and English, he said he has huge respect for Kamsky, and that he's always had difficulties playing the American and his 'slow, grinding style'.

What a fantastic round. These knock-out tournaments, for all their failings, result in pretty cut-throat chess. Kudos to Grischuk, Nielsen, and Polgar for showing great fighting spirit!
Fantastic determination displayed by Judith! Great stuff!
Whom of Polgar or Perez will make it to the to 5th round? Perez is former WC blitz but Polgar is known and feared for her rapid skills... I put my money on Polgar :S
Some comments are not appearing. Is it a bug? Some problem with new design of the site?
Judith and her bishop pair. Anand exchanged minor pieces in that fear, Dominguez faced the cardinal brunt today and succumbed. Polgar commands the diagonals in tandem!!
There were quite a few errors if not outright blunders towards the second time control, but after all who the hell can play like a machine after four or five hours?
I think not playing Bh6 was Lenier's biggest mistake. This let Judith back into the game. Also, he should have just shuffled his rooks around keeping control of the a-file. If anything it would have helped get close to a threefold repeat situation.
At move 107 Perez could have claimed 3fold rep. draw.
I read this elsewhere (including German Chessbase), but is it actually true? The position after black's 106th move (hence white to move) occurred before at moves 88 and 100, but then it was black to move. As far as I know (but I may be wrong) that's not a proper threefold repetition. Or was there another unclaimed repetition?
Actually on chessbomb it was pointed out there WAS a threefold repetition very late in the game (when an exhausted and annoyed (quote "I knew I was screwing up..." :) ) Judith Polgar tried to remember the mating-position with few minutes left and the 50-move-rule threatening)! But Dominguez didn't notice- no surprise after so many hours and also the 3 repetitions were not right after each other.
Chessvibes will point that out in their report I guess.
It's the moves: 95, 105, 107.
Of you comment with an air of a grandmaster, Septimus, you have to avoid obvious errors. There was a 3 times repetition!
Wow, Polgar won with R+B vs. R...revenge for that game she lost to Kasparov! Except that this one, according to the tablebase, was won when she got to it...not that either player found the right path.
On taking a closer look at the tablebase, Polgar was ALWAYS winning...but she frequently played moves that "set her back," in the sense that the shortest path to a win got longer. Perez played fairly close to perfectly in that sense, but made a mistake near the end that Polgar pounced on, after which she found the win flawlessly.
Oh Great, the tie-break will be very dramatic... :) -Nerves for players, fun for us - fans... :)
26.... Re2! from Peter Svidler was absolut fanastic; Move of the round, or even move of the world cup so far!
Could anybody explain Svidler's move 26... Re2..?? Thanks in advance...
26...Re2 is an amazing deflection sacrifice to mate the White King.
Black would love to play Qg3 with mate on Qg2 but he cannot because of Nc6 ruining everything on the long diagonal as the White Queen protects c6. So the only way is to deflect the White Queen. 26... Re2!! Now White is in terrible trouble. f2 is attacked 3 times and defended twice (and the Queen must move) and if the White Queen takes the Rook. Qg3 happens and followed by unstoppable mate. The f-pawn cannot move because of the pin.
Svidler must have foresaw the combination earlier when he allowed the Knight to take the Rook on b8.
Terrific stuff!
No Svidler did not foresee the combination; he told in the press conference he thought he was lost at first sight.
Interface problem: Now we don't have any idea if the article has comments or only the games. The part where it says 'Games & results, later more' is not visible from the home page now. If you post it before the article, it would be visible for everybody.
discussion about what really happened in Elista 2006 continues
part of an interview with Zurab Azmaiparashvili member of the Appeals Committee
"Now one more thing. Somewhere in the FIDE rules were written that match Topalov - Kramnik - this "unification match?" Let me tell someone the rules of such an item, and then I'll admit I'm wrong. This has not happened.
Unification match Ilyumzhinov called for a press conference. That is in the mind of every match as a unifying look, but under the rules he is not. It was just a world championship match, which played a champion and a contender for that title. Applicant was - well, it is clear - Kramnik. World Champion - Topalov."
http://chess-news.ru/node/3969 use google translator
By the way, I am reminded of the story in 2007, when Topalov accused Kramnik of cheating, in response to what Russians complained, and the Ethics Commission issued a reprimand rather quickly Bulgarian ifhe repeats this, you will receive a disqualification. And then the Commission has requested video footagefrom Valery Bovaeva, who was chairman of the organizing committee match in Elista.
You know what they say? What materials have long been destroyed. Good answer, eh? Tell me, why in Russia destroyed the materials with which you can easily prove that the Russian chess player went to the toilet, "a few times"?
There was repetition after white moves 95, 105 and 107, as GM Efstratios Grivas pointed out. Dominguez could claim it before executing his 107 move.
I think the game was Dominguez-Polgar NOT Polgar-Dominguez since judit is so happy about the 0-1 result ;-)
26...Re2!! in Kamsky -Svidler -wonderful, incredible, amazing! Nothing compares to that...The organisers received proper acknowledgement for their efforts, chess fans all over the world - a precious gift. This pure beauty phenomenon being suddenly unveiled in the fierce clash between Russian and American Champions...
Can you link the schedule of the rounds with pairings. although i agree that the website is really great, it seems to me that the pairings of next round are missing or not easy to find thanks
seems much better for any kind of information. The only thing I found useful at the 'official' site is the link to the (embedded) houdini live analysis of the games at whychess.org: http://chess.ugrasport.com/houdini.html

O-R publisher discusses newspaper's decision to outsource printing
Since mid-August, The Almanac and the Observer-Reporter have been printed in West Virginia, on the press owned by the Wheeling Intelligencer.
The decision to outsource printing operations represents a historic transition for the publishing company, which had been printed its products in Washington since its 1808 founding.
It's also another indication of the continually changing dynamics of the modern newspaper industry.
Observer-Reporter Publisher Tom Northrop said an aging press that was dedicated only to publishing the daily and weekly newspapers no longer made economic sense.
"Our press was running for two hours a night five nights a week, and four hours each of the other two nights," Northrop said.
The other industry trend in recent times has been for newspapers to build large-scale printing plants that contract to print numerous papers and run as around-the-clock operations.
"We could either load up the press with printing jobs or have someone else print the paper," he said, adding that the decision to outsource was also determined by the fact that the Observer's press didn't have certain color capabilities that advertisers now demand.
"It was the right press at the right time when we bought it in 1992," he said. "Now it just doesn't do what we need it to do. We couldn't cost-justify buying another press."
The improvement in the quality of the color was immediately apparent once printing was moved to Wheeling, Northrop added.
Sending the printing and stuffing operations to Wheeling also create "significant savings" for the paper, he said. He also acknowledged that the change meant the loss of 38 jobs; 15 full-time and 23 part-time positions.
"The people who worked in the production operations did a great job for a long time," Northrop said, adding that the decision to outsource comes at a time of enormous change in newspapers.
"The industry has changed so much in the past few years, it's just part of the evolution of newspapers."
The changes will continue in the years to come, he said, but the outsourcing of its printing operations will enable the paper to invest in the future.
"As things migrate online, it will give us more of an opportunity in the future," Northrop said. "We will commit more resources to the digital side."

.......ASOS peplum top | Elizabeth and James sunglasses | ASOS bracelet | Karla Deras x Roman Luxe cuff
.............Michael Kors watch | Proenza Schouler bag | AG Jeans leggings | Jenni Kayne flats
Just got a great pair of Riley leggings from AG Jeans! They're a subtle navy color with black trim, so they're perfect for my black + navy combo obsession. Plus the body conscious seam lines are super slimming, which I love. They look great with a chic peplum top + clean accessories, but I'm also looking forward to wearing them casually, with a stripe t-shirt + camo print jacket.

Even though medicine is the most common approach to treating epilepsy, it does not always work. In almost one-third of people with epilepsy, medicine cannot control their seizures adequately (or at all, in some cases). This number is even higher in people with focal epilepsy. Surgery can greatly improve the lives of some people who have epilepsy.
You may be a good candidate for surgery if your seizures:
- Occur often enough to severely disrupt your life.
- Tend to result in injury or harm (for instance, if seizures cause frequent falls).
- Change or alter your consciousness.
- Are not controlled well with medicine, or you cannot tolerate the side effects of the medicines.
Having frequent or severe seizures often restricts you from driving, doing certain kinds of work, and other activities. Medicine may fail to control these seizures. Or medicine may cause side effects severe enough to disrupt your lifestyle.
Surgery is not an "if all else fails" approach to treating epilepsy. It often may be a better choice than trying each and every medicine. For adults with temporal lobe epilepsy, for instance, surgery may be considered if two different first-line medicines are tried and neither controls the seizures adequately. For certain types of childhood epilepsy-disorders that children cannot outgrow and that do not respond to medicine-having surgery at the youngest possible age may offer the greatest benefit for the child. The younger brain is more adaptable and recovers better after surgery.
Epilepsy surgery removes an area of abnormal tissue in the brain, such as a tumor or scar tissue, or the specific area of brain tissue where seizures begin. Before surgery, you may have several tests (including an electroencephalogram [EEG], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], and video monitoring) to find exactly where seizures begin in the brain. After the area of abnormal tissue where your seizures begin has been located, doctors can decide whether or not it can be removed safely.
Surgery is usually done in a hospital that is associated with an epilepsy center. The surgery usually takes a few hours, and you have to stay in the hospital for a few days afterward. It may be several months or more before you feel fully back to normal.
Surgery choices
The type of epilepsy surgery depends on the location in the brain in which seizures start.
The most common surgery is anterior temporal lobectomy, which is the removal of part of one of the brain's temporal lobes. For many people with temporal lobe epilepsy, this surgery offers a very good chance of becoming seizure-free.
Some types of surgery are usually only done on children.
- Corpus callosotomy helps some children who have Lennox-Gastaut syndrome by reducing falls that happen during seizures. These can happen often and often cause injury to the child.
- Hemispherectomy during the first few years of life may benefit children with other uncommon, severe forms of epilepsy (such as Rasmussen syndrome or Sturge-Weber disease).
What to think about
Surgery can be very effective for some people with epilepsy. But surgery is not an option for everyone. If you or your child has a type of epilepsy that might improve with surgical treatment, you may want to think about some of these issues:
- Surgery is not a last resort. It may be considered after unsuccessfully trying two medicines.
- Early surgery for some forms of childhood epilepsy may end seizures and prevent or reverse developmental delays. Children make good surgical candidates. They tend to recover quickly with fewer problems afterward.
- People who have temporal lobe epilepsy and whose seizures do not get better with medicines may be good candidates for surgery.
- Surgery is not always a cure for epilepsy. Some people never have seizures again after surgery. But for many others, surgery only reduces seizure frequency or severity.
- You need to be healthy to have the surgery and to benefit from it. People with severe illnesses, psychiatric disorders, or neurological problems other than epilepsy may need evaluations from more specialists to see if they are good candidates for epilepsy surgery.
- Epilepsy surgery involves removing part of your brain. It can affect your brain function, although the effects may be less bothersome than those caused by the epilepsy itself. Problems after surgery can be mild to severe-such as less energy, visual defects, language and memory problems, and weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body-and may be temporary or permanent.
- Brain surgery is an expensive way to treat epilepsy and carries with it many risks. Even if medicine does not prevent your seizures, surgery may not be recommended if you only have seizures once in a while or do not have severe seizures.
Topic Overview
What is Hirschsprung's disease?
Hirschsprung's disease is a birth defect that affects the nerve cells in the large intestine. These nerve cells control the muscles that normally push food and waste through the large intestine.
But in babies who have Hirschsprung's disease, the muscles in the wall of the large intestine don't relax, which prevents stool from passing. This can lead to trapped stool, infection, pain and swelling, and bowel problems.
Most of the time, the disease is found soon after birth in about 1 out of every 5,000 newborns. It is most common in male babies.1
In rare cases, the disease can be life-threatening.
What causes Hirschsprung's disease?
Doctors don't know what causes the disease, but it tends to run in families. It may also be linked to other medical problems, such as Down syndrome and congenital heart disease.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms include a swollen belly and problems passing stool. Newborns with the disease may not pass their first stool until at least 48 hours after birth.
Other symptoms depend on a child's age, but can include vomiting, having a poor appetite, refusing to eat, and not growing or gaining weight.
How is Hirschsprung's disease diagnosed?
Most children are diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease during their first year. A doctor may think that a child has the disease based on the child's symptoms and the results of a physical exam.
Other tests may be done to confirm the diagnosis, such as:
- A tissue sample from the rectum (biopsy).
- An abdominal X-ray.
- An X-ray of the large intestine (barium enema).
If there is a delay in diagnosing Hirschsprung's disease, the child could end up with serious, life-threatening complications.
How is it treated?
Children with Hirschsprung's disease need surgery to remove the diseased part of the large intestine. Surgery is often done within the first days or month of life, soon after the disease is found. Children with Hirschsprung's disease need one or two surgeries.
Long-term (chronic) problems with stomachaches and bowel problems are common after surgery. But most of the time, these problems are not severe. Depending on the problem, there are a number of treatment options. These include medicine, behavior modification, biofeedback, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and more surgery.
In a few cases, emergency surgery may be needed if a dangerous problem such as serious swelling of the small and large intestines (enterocolitis) occurs.

Product Support
You can now operate your SteadyStar Adaptive Optics Guider with Rotator with MaxIm DL (5.19 or later) imaging software! A plug-in is now available for download in the SteadyStar Adaptive Optics Guider with Rotator product support section.
A new way to autoguide and track, the SteadyStar AO Guider with Field Rotator is a powerful and versatile companion to your telescope, mount and camera. The built-in Field Rotator allows you to move the SteadyStar's off-axis prism to locate a guide star or to change the imaging camera orientation. It also enables long exposure imaging with motorized altitude-azimuth mounts. And with the fast adaptive optics guiding, it turns any image capable mount (Alt-Az or EQ) into a more effective one, yielding better tracking.
The SteadyStar AO Guider with Field Rotator not only makes rapid and accurate tracking corrections to deliver pinpoint stars, it also allows you to rotate the camera and off-axis guider without disturbing the focus. That makes finding a guide star much easier. Additionally, the SteadyStar AO Guider with Field Rotator is an ideal solution for imagers with fork altitude-azimuth mounts, including those used with popular catadioptric telescopes. Since Alt-Az mounts cannot move in arcs to match the apparent movement of the sky, the field rotator will do that for you. There's no need to purchase a heavy equatorial wedge for your fork mount.
The SteadyStar's broad compatibility works with most cameras including any Orion CCD camera as well as DSLRs, and most autoguiders including the StarShoot AutoGuider. A filter wheel can be added between the SteadyStar and imaging cameras without adding to the backfocus.
Traditional autoguiding can typically only make a single correction every couple of seconds or so; during that time your tracking is vulnerable to periodic error from your mount, wind, or atmospheric seeing conditions. The SteadyStar can easily make several tracking corrections per second, which far exceeds the ability of regular autoguiding. As a result, even a modestly priced mount with the SteadyStar attached will perform like a high-end expensive mount to deliver sharper astrophotography.
Better Than Traditional Autoguiding
Seen below are two raw images of NGC 281 cropped at 100% zoom. They are a direct comparison of SteadyStar AO Guiding at 5 corrections per second vs. regular autoguiding at one correction every two seconds. The images were taken the same night in succession. Each image is a stack of 3 x 12 minute exposures taken with the Orion SSDSMI III and EON 120ED Refractor. The image taken without the SteadyStar AO Guider shows star elongation in R.A. as a result of periodic error.
We've illustrated a smaller cropped portion below of the same two images of NGC 281 magnified at 200%. The difference seen in this faint star field is immediate. The SteadyStar improves the tracking performance resulting in sharper stars, rounder stars and improved image contrast.
How Does it Work?
The SteadyStar AO Guider can easily make several tracking corrections in one second without lugging the weight and inertia of the whole telescope. Rather than move all that weight, the SteadyStar AO Guider makes guiding corrections by tilting its on-board optical window, allowing for quick and precise movements several times faster than any traditional autoguider could ever hope to correct. A slight tilt of the optical window actually moves the imaging plane in your camera. This refractive correction, while different than the adaptive optics used in professional observatories, is capable of making extremely fast movements to overcome even the most severe tracking errors. Even though most tracking errors can be compensated by tilting the optical window, the SteadyStar can still send corrections to your mount like a traditional autoguider if the optical window's tilt range is exceeded.
Fast Guiding Corrections
The SteadyStar AO Guider is capable of correcting motion more than 40 times per second, depending on guide star brightness, autoguider camera used, and computer speed. This means you will overcome your mount's periodic error, wind, and even compensate for some of the negative effects of turbulent seeing conditions. Quite simply, the SteadyStar is the fastest AO Guider used for amateur astrophotography on the market today!
The 40mm diameter on board optical window supports APS-C format sensors including DSLRs and amply sized CCD cameras. It can communicate with MaxIm DL for exposure sequences. Windows XP, Vista 32/64 bit, Windows 7 compatible. A hard carrying case is included as well as a 10' USB cable, 10' autoguiding cable, and 12VDC power cable.
See the difference for yourself in your own astrophotography; the SteadyStar AO Guider with Field Rotator will unlock your full imaging potential!

A bounce back week for "9 Picks". We finished the weekend 8-1 and have our confidence back as we face some interesting matchups this week. The Jags host UAPB, the Tigers travel to College Station for an early start and the Saints look to make it two in a row as they travel to Tampa Bay to face the rival Bucs.
Here we go:
New Orleans Saints (1-4) at Tampa Bay Bucs (2-3)
The Saints are riding high after their victory over the San Diego Chargers. The Bucs have lost three close games against the Giants, Cowboys and Redskins. The Saints defense gave up only seven points in the second half of the Chargers game and made the plays at the end to preserve the victory. The Bucs are 31st against the pass, the Saints will keep it that way:
New Orleans Saints: 35 Tampa Bay Bucs: 24
Arkansas-Pine Bluff (4-2, 3-1) at Southern (3-3, 2-2)
Southern has found itself back in the SWAC West race. Guess who is one game ahead of Southern? You got it, UAPB. Arkansas-Pine Bluff is led on offense by running back Dennis Jenkins (338 yards) and quarterback Benjamin Anderson (6 TDs). Last week the Golden Lions gave up 420 yards of offense against Jackson State but found a way to win. Mumford Stadium will be the difference in this one:
Southern: 24 UAPB: 20
#6 LSU (6-1, 2-1) at #18 Texas A&M (5-1, 2-1)
Texas A&M has played two ranked teams, losing to Florida and hanging on against Louisiana Tech. The Aggies are led by freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel. Against LA Tech he accounted for 576 yards of offense. He ran for 181 yards and three touchdowns and completed 24 of 40 passes for 395 yards and three touchdowns. The Tigers struggles continued in the Red Zone against South Carolina and need to be corrected quickly. LSU's defense, lead by Sam Montgomery and Barkevious Mingo will keep Manziel in check and the offense will wear A&M's defensive line down in the second half. LSU wins on the road and starts thinking Alabama:
LSU: 34 Texas A&M: 20
#7 South Carolina (6-1, 4-1) at #2 Florida (6-0, 5-0)
South Carolina travels to Gainesville trying to put behind them a crushing loss to LSU. Florida is riding high, maybe a bit too high in the rankings, beating a scrappy Vandy team 31-17.The two offenses will be led by a quarterback and running back duo. South Carolina will be led by Connor Shaw and Marcus Lattimore, while the Gators will rely on Jeff Driskel and Mike Gillislee. The South Carolina defense will rise to the occasion and the Old Ball Coach will sneak out of Gainesville with a victory:
South Carolina: 24 Florida: 20
#1 Alabama (6-0, 3-0) at Tennessee (3-3, 0-3)
Derek Dooley said this week, "We're not very good right now." Not exactly what you want to hear if you're a Tennessee fan about to face Alabama. The Vols have been competitive this year but have not been able to finish a game strong. Tyler Bray leads an offense averaging 38 points a game, but will be hard pressed to match that against the number one defense in the country. The Vols hang tough, that is in the first half, before Bama rolls on:
Alabama: 32 Tennessee: 17
#11 Georgia (5-1, 3-1) at Kentucky (1-6, 0-4)
Georgia has had two weeks to think about the blowout loss to South Carolina. The Bulldogs are still in the race for the SEC East and a shot at a BCS Championship. Kentucky, wow, they are bad. A great game for the Bulldogs to get back on track:
Georgia: 45 Kentucky: 21
Auburn (1-5, 0-4) at Vanderbilt (2-4, 1-3)
There would have been a time that picking Vanderbilt to win this game would be the "dumb pick of the week." Just two years ago Cam Newton led the Tigers to a National Championship. This year Auburn is looking for its first SEC win. With Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama looming, this is Auburn's best and probably only chance to win an SEC game. Won't happen:
Vanderbilt: 17 Auburn: 10
Middle Tennessee (4-2, 2-1) at #12 Mississippi State (6-0, 3-0)
The number 12 ranked Bulldogs, can that be right, number 12? Miss. State steps out of the SEC to play Middle Tennessee in its last tune-up before the brutal stretch that includes Alabama, Texas A&M and LSU. The Bulldogs should enjoy this game, it might be their last win of the regular season:
Miss. State: 37 Middle Tennessee: 20
#3 Oregon (6-0, 3-0) at Arizona State (5-1, 3-0)
The defenses will take the night off again in the PAC-12. The Ducks have a goal of making it to the National Championship game. With Stanford, USC and Oregon State coming up Oregon needs the win and will get it:
Oregon: 52 Arizona State: 30
BYU (4-3) AT #5 Notre Dame (6-0)
Notre Dame should win this game without any problems, unless they forget about BYU and start thinking about the Oklahoma matchup next week. It's hard not to look forward to that -wait I need to concentrate on this game. Irish win, but not pretty:
Notre Dame: 20 BYU: 10

My new favorite boots
Love the boots. Really comfortable! Great quality. Perfect to dress up with slacks and dress down with jeans. True to fit. Love them so much I am now ordering the brown!
Woodstock, GA
Love these boots
I ordered these boots in my regular size (8.5) and found them to run a little small. I re-ordered them in a size 9 and they fit perfectly. They are very comfortable and I am happy that even though they are bigger size than my usual, they make my feet look smaller! Love these boots!
Holbrook, MA
Returning These
While I love the way these boots look, they are uncomfortable and hard. I was disappointed and I'm sending them back today.
Aurora, CO.
Real cute boots
These boots are really cute & I love them! I wear a size 8.5 also like one of the other customers that ordered these boots. She said they fit her a little small so she exchanged it for a size 9. I bought the 8.5 & they fit me perfect & are very comfortable! Everyone's feet are different so the boots may feel different on each person, but for me they are great! I get a lot of compliments on them too! :)

As imaging technologies have revolutionized research in many areas of biology and medicine, neuroscientists have often pioneered the use of new visualization techniques. Imaging in Neuroscience: A Laboratory Manual provides the definitive collection of methods in use in this groundbreaking field. With more than 90 chapters, the manual offers a depth of coverage unavailable from any other source. Sections focus on imaging at the molecular level, axons and nerve terminals, spines and dendrites, neurons and circuits in vitro, neurons and circuits in vivo, glia, brain dynamics and behavior, and brain pathology. Protocols range from basic techniques to recent breakthroughs. Imaging in Neuroscience: A Laboratory Manual is an essential guide to discovering and implementing these techniques.
The most important feature of the manual is the protocol provided, and sometimes variations on the protocol. These are clearly written...and most chapters include trouble-shooting hints, which are most helpful....We expect this manual to be highly useful for both students and researchers.

A lush Baroque double-bill
An alluring world of gods and goddesses, passionate love and tragic consequences awaits as the Florentine Opera presents a sensuous double-bill featuring two timeless Baroque works: The earliest surviving British opera and the first English operatic masterpiece.
John Blow's sumptuous Venus & Adonis illuminates the unparalleled pleasure and unsurpassed heartbreak caused by fatal attraction, while Henry Purcell's Dido & Aeneas tells an enthralling tale of two lovers forced to choose between passion and duty. The intimacy of Vogel Hall's jewel-box theater is the perfect setting to experience the lush Baroque melodies and breathtaking scenes that will seduce your ear, enchant your eye and forever stir your soul.
Sung in English. The two works will be presented at each performance with one 25-minute intermission between operas.

Proposed Canon
On Erfworld, things which seem to have no practical function can perform a symbolic function. For example, Gobwin Knob has a "bank", which is simply an empty building. By occasionally stepping inside this "bank", Parson can "inspect" the "bank", which makes Gobwin Knob's economy more productive.
Since there is no pregnancy and there are no babies in Erfworld, heirs are popped, Nookie also seems to have no practical bearing on poppingWoT-4047518. However, it may serve an important symbolic function. According to Parson's discussion with Maggie, it would seem that the technical act and, erm, "Tools" involved are much the same.
Known Nookie Pairings
- Princess Jillian Zamussels and Prince Ansom
- Queen Jillian Zamussels and Count Vinny Doombats
- Lady Wanda Firebaugh and Overlord Stanley the Tool
- Sizemore Rockwell and Uhura
- Countess Artemis and Prince Forthewin
- Dame Olive Branch and Atomic "Tommy" Firebaugh
- Princess Jillian Zamussels and Countess Marika Neagle
- Princess Jillian Zamussels and Viscount Bart Lightrail
While Nookie serves no biological functions, it may be considered to serve social functions like with bonobos. It has also been speculated that it can influence the traits of a popped unit when an heir or noble unit is involved. Namely, Jillian and Vinny's involvement is speculated to have a bearing on the personality/temperament of the FAQ Heir currently in production.
There certainly appear to be real emotional attachments associated with these pairings, as evidenced by the complexities of the relationships between Wanda, Jillian, Ansom, and Vinny. However, it is unclear how deeply these emotional bonds run, and it may depend on the individual. That said, there have been multiple cases in which "love" and nookie coincide, and those conflicting emotions, particularly when combined with the ability of ruler, warlord and caster units to exercise freewill, may have changed the outcomes of engagements (Wanda not croaking Jillian at the Tower of Efdup, or Jillian's capturing Ansom at the Expository Bridge).
Possible Nookie Pairings
- Princess Jillian Zamussels and Lady Wanda Firebaugh
- Count Vinny Doombats and Jaclyn, two other Archons
- Archons and unknown clients
- Archons and Charlie
- Archons and Parson Gotti
- Queen Bea and Don King
- Princess Jillian Zamussels and Jack Snipe
- Viscount Caesar Borgata and Bunny
- Sizemore Rockwell and Maggie
- Ace and Cubbins
- King Slately and Holly Shortcake
- Dame Olive Branch and Lady Wanda Firebaugh
- Dame Olive Branch and King Banhammer

Taylor Hicks
Taylor Hicks
With his raspy, soulful voice and salt-and-pepper hair, Taylor Hicks was one of the unlikeliest contestants to make it to the final round of American Idol, but his quirky charm and rousing delivery of songs like "Takin' It to the Streets" won Hicks a devoted legion of fans called the Soul Patrol and the title of the fifth-season American Idol. Born in Birmingham, AL, and raised in Hoover, Hicks grew up listening to classic soul artists such as Otis Redding and Sam Cooke -- which he said he could to relate to even as a child due to the divorce of his parents and other troubles -- and singer/songwriters like Van Morrison, Bob Seger, and Billy Joel. His chief influence, however, was Ray Charles, whom he admired so much that he carried a little statue of Charles with him whenever he performed. Though Hicks had no formal musical training, he picked up singing, guitar, and harmonica on his own. He began performing for his family at an early age and won a talent contest at his high school (at which time his hair started turning gray). While studying business, communication, and marketing at Auburn University, Hicks formed the Passing Through band, and left school early to try his luck in Nashville. As a touring performer, he opened for artists ranging from James Brown to Drive-By Truckers and also performed at the Playboy Mansion. Hicks released two albums with his band: In Your Time, a live album, and Under the Radar. In 2005, he auditioned for American Idol; the Memphis tryouts were so crowded that Hicks couldn't get in, so he went to the Las Vegas auditions. Despite the doubts of judge Simon Cowell, Hicks' differences from the typical pop star look and sound worked for him rather than against him in the competition, and his performances of "Levon," "Living for the City," and "Dancing in the Dark" helped put him over the top. After winning American Idol, Hicks signed a record deal with Clive Davis and 19 Recordings Unlimited, and released the single Do I Make You Proud that summer. Hicks also performed with the American Idol tour and began work on his major-label debut album. His self-titled debut arrived in late 2006. Live at the Workplay Theatre, a concert album recorded in summer 2006, was released in 2007. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Charmois is gorgeous. High-toned floral notes open up beautifully in the glass, followed by expressive red berries, licorice and spices. The 2010 possesses striking inner perfume, layers of supple fruit and the silkiest of tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Mild reduction knocks down the nose but the underlying fruit appears riper than that of the first two wines. The natural spice of a classic Chaignots is in evidence on the rich middle weight flavors that possess good muscle but no rusticity, all wrapped in an attractively textured finish. This..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Here too a background application of oak is visible on the intensely earthy and beautifully complex nose of both red and blue pinot fruit, earth, violet and plum scents. There is good size, weight and power to the relatively supple mid-palate though the firm core of tannins is apparent on the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Nuit Saint Georges Aux Thorey is a big, forceful wine bristling with energy and class. Saline, mineral notes give the Aux Thorey tons of cut. The fruit fleshes out big on the finish, adding depth and volume, but without sacrificing the wine's focus..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "True to the Mugnier style, this is also wonderfully pure with its expressive nose of earthy red pinot fruit that also exhibits notes of underbrush and a mineral component that is picked up by the vibrant and well-delineated middle weight flavors. The mid-palate is relatively refined and the Nuits..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is also quite spicy with ripe and well-layered aromas of red and blue pinot fruit that is satisfyingly fresh. The rich, dense and enveloping flavors possess excellent phenolic maturity as well as outstanding depth and length on the mouth coating finish..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Damodes emerges from the glass with layers of rich, sumptuous fruit. This is an especially silky, round Damodes. I especially like the way the wine blossoms on the palate with an intricate fabric of expressive fruit..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Pruliers boasts good fleshiness and juiciness. This is an up-front, decidedly overt style loaded with blue and black fruit. Firm tannins add support, while expressive floral notes give the finish an attractive lift. Here, too, the wine is surprisingly approachable."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A brooding but notably ripe nose of dark cherry and pungent earth aromas slides gracefully into strikingly rich and tautly muscular big-bodied flavors that possess praiseworthy concentration. There is plenty of underlying tension and energy to the mouth coating and very serious finish that..
