Martin Luther King memorial unveiled on National Mall

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Martin Luther King Jr stood 30 feet tall on the National Mall as a memorial to him was unveiled on Monday morning -- the first memorial on the Mall not dedicated to a war, president or white man.
Fifteen years after a Congressional Joint Resolution in 1996 to establish a memorial in Washington, D.C. to honor King, the four-acre site on the Tidal Basin between the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials opened to the public for the first time.
"From a geometrical standpoint it's on a direct line between the Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial," said Bill Line, spokesman for the National Park Service. "The brains and essence of our country (Thomas Jefferson), and Abe Lincoln, the greater uniter."
Visitors will walk through two massive white granite halves of the "Mountain of Despair" to reach the "Stone of Hope," from which the sculpture of King emerges.
The winning design from an international contest was inspired by the line from King's "I Have a Dream" speech, "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope."
Behind King's sculpture, on either side of the mountain, is a 450-foot-long wall inscribed with 14 quotations from the famous orator's speeches, sermons, and writings.
King faces Jefferson wearing clothes that fade into the granite above his feet. His arms are folded, with one hand holding his rolled-up Dream speech, according to sculptor Master Lei Yixin, who is a Chinese citizen.
"Dr. King's vision is still living, in our minds; we still miss him, we still need him," said Yixin through a translator, calling the sculpture the most important of his life, technically and emotionally. "I am trying to present Dr. King as ready to step out ... this is King's spirit, to judge people from their character, not race, color or background."
Yixin and a team carved and assembled the stone and mountain from 159 blocks of Atlantic Green granite and Kenoran Sage granite from North America, as well as granite from Asia.
The memorial will be presented to President Barack Obama and dedicated in a celebration on Sunday August 28, marking the anniversary of the Dream speech delivered from the steps of the nearby Lincoln Memorial 48 years ago.
King, the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize and the leader of the American Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 60s, led a peaceful march on Washington in 1963. A crowd of 250,000 heard his DREAM speech at the march, five years before his assassination in Memphis in 1968.
A joint venture team broke ground on the site nearly five years ago, and the "Build the Dream" Campaign of the National Memorial Project Foundation, headed by President and CEO Harry Johnson, has raised $112 of the $120 million needed.
The team consists of ROMA Design Group, the winner of the competition to design the memorial; architectural and engineering firm McKissack & McKissack; Turner Construction Company; Tompkins Builders, Inc. and the Gilford Corporation.
"Dr. King championed a movement that draws from the deep well of America's potential for opportunity," said Johnson, a lawyer and former president of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Kingbelonged to the fraternity.
The chief executive of architecture firm McKissack & McKissack, Deryl McKissack, said that her great-great grandfather was a slave who learned the building trade from his overseer.
"Dr. King changed people's minds, and now an African American woman can own a company and be a part of these projects -- I just feel great everyday when I wake up."
The expression of King's sculpture was created from a collage of images that covered all four walls of Yixin's studio. King's mouth is a grim line, his brow is furrowed and his gaze intense as he looks off into the distance.
One visitor to the new memorial said she believes King would be pleased if he could see how far the United States has come since the 1960s.
"He would be ecstatic because President Obama is in the White House and that is a huge step," said Nydria Humphries, who hung on the fence outside before the memorial opened to the the public. She wore a T-shirt with an eagle and the stripes of the American flag.
"That's all MLK stood for," said Humphries, who is currently looking for work. "If we can just learn to live together, then we all can have a better life."

Honeycomb shades can regulate high summer temperaturesAug 11 2010 Honeycomb shades can regulate high summer temperatures "That sun would beat us down," Mark Hammond told the news source. The couple decided that they needed some kind of protection other than air conditioning. They hired Jane Hampton, a local employee of a Washington window treatment store. She had several different ideas for the couple, and claimed that shutters or fabric shades can both regulate the temperature. The Hammonds settled on honeycomb shades, even for their skylights, which they now open and close with a long pole. The couple says that these window treatments are beautiful and functional. "Honeycomb is really an insulator and it helps to avoid heat coming into the house. And, in the winter, it helps keep heat from going out," Hampton informed the news provider. She added that they have been prove to control home energy use. Honeycomb shades are a leading choice for discerning individuals who want to reduce air conditioning and heating costs. These insulating window treatments can reduce energy bills by a noticeable margin. Related Products

To date, there has been little fundamental research to address why certain behaviors are exhibited, how they are affected by individual risk preferences, and how they may be changed by providing risk information to the individual. The objective of the project is to conduct such a study, focusing on the behavioral response of individuals during household cleaning tasks when provided with both linguistic information, in the form of a warning, label, and sensory information, in the form of product odor. The proposed work uses controlled human subject experimentation to determine the effect of pleasant and unpleasant odors, as well as labels with different degrees of warning, on cleaning product preference and individual behavior during use. The study will reveal the relative importance of these factors, as well as interactive effects. Metadata

family drama
I go to say goodbye and inevitably punch someone in the boob or kiss an eyeball before darting out the train door, suddenly confused about if I'm supposed to go left or right at a station I visit every day.
This story really is as sad as it sounds.

Zorats Karer (Armenian: Զորաց Քարեր, locally Դիք-դիք քարեր Dik-dik karer),[1] also called Karahunj or Carahunge (Armenian: Քարահուջ) is an prehistoric archaeological site near the city of Sisian in the Syunik province of Armenia. The phrase Zorats Karer is translated from Armenian as Worrier Stones or Stone Army. Also known in local lore as Tsits Karer (Ցից Քարեր), meaning Vertical Stones in Armenian vernaculars. It is also often referred to in international tourist lore as "Armenian Stonehenge."[2]
The site is located on a rocky promontory near Sisian. In 2004, the site was officially named the Karahunj (Carahunge) Observatory, by Parliamentary decree (Government decision No. 1095-n, July 29, 2004). About 223 large stone tombs can be found in the area.
Zorats Karer was explored by a team of archaeologists from the Institut für Vorderasiatische Archäologie, University of Munich who published their findings in 2000. They concluded that "In contrast to the opinion that Zorakarer may be called an Armenian Stonehenge, an exact investigation of the place yields other results. Zorakarer, located on a rocky promontory, was mainly a necropolis from the Middle Bronze Age to the Iron Age." The Munich archaeologists add that it may have served "as a place of refuge in times of war", possibly in the Hellenistic - Roman period (c. 300 BC - 300 AD). A wall of rocks and compacted soil (loam) was built around the site with vertical rocks plugged into it for reinforcement: today only these upright rocks remain.[3]
Total area of archaeological site is approximately 7 ha. Site is rich with stone settings, burial cysts and standing stones - Menhirs. In total registered 222 standing stones which are up to 2.8 m tall and approximately 10 tons heavy.[4]
About 84 of the stones feature a circular hole, although only about 50 of the stones survive. They have been of interest to Russian and Armenian archaeoastronomists who have suggested that the standing stones could have been used for astronomical observation. This suggestion was made by observers who noted four stone holes which could be claimed to be sighted at the point on the horizon where the sun rises on midsummer's day. Four others standing stones display holes which observers claimed point where the sun sets on the same day. However, this must remain conjectural as the holes are relatively unweathered and may not even be prehistoric in origin.[5]
In the nearby city of Sisian, there is a small museum dedicated to findings in the area, including palaeolithic petroglyphs found on mountain tops in the area, and grave artefacts form the Bronze Age burial site with over 200 shaft graves.
In December, 2010 Carahunge was featured in an episode of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, in episode 14 titled "Unexplained Structures". The theme was suggested by Mihran Vardanyan, following the recent discovery of more than 300 exoplanets by NASA's Kepler planet-finding satellite in a small patch of sky in the Cygnus constellation, and linking this with Herouni's earlier observations concerning Deneb.[citation needed]

We sailed from Fort Lauderdale to the western Caribbean. It became obvious that things were different at embarkation where we stood in 2 different lines for 45 minutes [never stood in line on Oceania].
In general, the food was average, portions small, presentation ordinary, and service slow to sometimes non-existant. On our first morning at the breakfast buffet there were no cereal bowls and no one around to ask. The selection of fresh fruit was very limited. Although we embarked from Fort Lauderdale there were no fresh berries other than strawberries and no grapefruit on the buffet. To get a second cup of coffee you had to get up to find a waiter. In fact, whenever asking the staff for anything the response was grudging and unfriendly.
Dinners took 2-3 hours to get served which meant missing the entertainment most evenings [which wasn't much to see anyway]. The impression that we and other passengers we spoke with had was that the ship was understaffed and the staff was overworked. They seldom made eye contact or gave you a friendly greeting as we were accustomed to on Oceania.
One day we returned from an excursion after 2 pm. The only place to get lunch was at the poolside grill but there was no one there grilling. Instead there was a platter of small sandwiches that had been sitting out there for who knows how long and a salad bar. On Oceania there are 2 people grilling hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken until 4 pm everyday.
The celebration of our anniversary became a comedy of errors that made us regret we even mentioned it. Although the cabin was quite comfortable, its location near the rear of the ship had us experiencing noise and severe vibration that could wake the dead, especially when we came into port early in the morning.
All in all, I can't wait to take another Oceania cruise where I know I will have wonderful food and friendly service, plus a good night's sleep.

Original Message
So...I take my children to school every morning. All 3 ride the school bus home. I am able to pick the youngest one up but the other two walk home a quarter mile from the school bus stop. The first few weeks of school I walked them home from the school bus just to be sure they felt safe. Eventually they wanted to buddy up with their friends so I stayed home more often when the two older ones walked home. (11 and 13).
Last Thursday a man went to the school bus stop where my kids get off the shool bus. However, he went there in the morning time and my kids do not ride the bus to school, they only ride it home. Anyway, the guy was dressed in all black and was wearing a ski mask. According to 15-20 students he produced a knife and a gun and started threatening the kids. He told them he would kill them if they screamed or ran. A parent driving by saw the kids all crying and huddling next to the fence so she stopped. She found out the gunman had already left but she called the cops anyway. The kids were released to go to school via the school bus when it arrived.
Now...since we do not have our kids ride the bus to school in the morning, my kids didn't witness this. And, it wasn't until the following day, after school when my son walked home that I started to find out what happened. Apparently two students in his classroom were part of the victims of this gunman. The day before they were asked to keep quiet until the gunman was caught or an investigation could be carried out. Many were taken home by their parents the day of the incident due to shock.
So...the day AFTER this happened, I find out from my 11 yr old son what happened. My daughter ended up being brought home by another parent who was scared for our kids to ride the bus home. When they arrived at my house I heard from the parent even more details. The cops had made a full sweep of the area and had issued a BOL for the guy. However, the cops never told any parents and the school never notified any parents. They didn't even write a letter home. This school has vowed that safety is number one...they dropped the ball on this one!
So...this incident happened. The school didn't notify anybody. About 2 hours after my son told me what happened and my daughter came home I met with fellow neighbors in my area. We agreed that we would all tackle this together. One called the elementary school, one called the junior high school (both pick up from the same bus stop) and one called the cops. About an hour after the schools were called about the incident, we all got phone calls telling us what happened. Of course, there was no mention of weapons and the whole incident was downplayed by the schools.
I agreed to be present at the bus stop from now on with a few other parents at different times in order to help keep a look out and protect the kids.
Not once since this happened have any police been present, have any school officials come to the bus stop when kids are loading/offloading. I am pissed. Oh...and as far as I know of...no news report has come from this yet either. This is bullshit.
We are from Modesto, California. This is the city where Laci Peterson and her unborn child Connor were murdered by Laci's husband Scott several years ago. It's also the location where James Ferrario Jr shot and killed a sheriff's deputy and a locksmith several months ago while they attempted to evict him from a home he hand't paid payments on for 8 months. That was the first of several iconic shootings throughout the country that don't add up. Other shootings include the batman shooter, James Holmes in Colorado and the Wisconsin shooter Wade Michael Page at the Sikh temple.

Fall is here! That means it's time to pull out the soup pot and put it to good use!
This recipe is a delicious combination of Tillamook Special Reserve Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese and another Northwest local, Widmer Brothers Beer!
The recipe called for Widmer Citra Blond but I decided to make mine with Widmer Drifter Pale Ale. Whichever variety you decide to use, I'm sure it will be tasty!
The pairing of Tillamook Cheese and Widmer Beer gives this soup a distinctly rich and deep flavor that entices you to go back for seconds (or thirds, in my case). Enjoy!
6 ounces Tillamook Butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 ribs celery, finely chopped
6 ounces flour
1 bottle Widmer Brothers blond ale
1 quart plus 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 ½ pounds Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 quart plus 1 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
salt to taste
shredded cheese and chopped scallions for garnish
In a large saucepan or kettle, heat butter, onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions turn translucent. Add flour and stir until completely blended. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
In a separate pot, bring beer and chicken or vegetable stock to boiling. Bring pan with butter, onion and celery back to medium heat. Using a fine wire whisk, slowly whisk into the vegetable mixture the heated stock and beer until any lumps disappear.
Reduce heat to a low simmer, stir in cheese and half-and-half until smooth. Simmer for about 20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Season with pepper and salt to taste. Garnish individual servings with more cheddar cheese and chopped scallions.
Makes 4 quarts
For a couple more simple cheese soup recipes, try Tillamook Cheddar Beer Soup or Cream of Potato and Cheddar Cheese Soup. Let us know how they turn out!

Mission: Destroy Stacy Head

May 15, 2009....What is it about New Orleans Councilwoman Stacy Head that infuriates so many "activists" in New Orleans?

Editorial: City Council and its lawyers trying to keep legitimate public records under wraps

Many New Orleanians have grown skeptical of the City Council's objections to releasing thousands of its e-mails because they may include legally-protected information. After three e-mails from Councilwoman Stacy Head were briefly made public Wednesday, one thing is clear: The council and its attorneys are trying to keep legitimate public records under wraps simply because they may be embarrassing...

"It's the principle of the whole thang. It's principalities in this." The 1995 movie "Friday" is about a marijuana pusher's half-hearted attempts to raise $200 to pay for the marijuana he's smoked himself.

Good Enough?Pros: they are super cheap and they work Cons: they are USB powered, the sound quality sucks, and they have a cheap build quality Other Thoughts: i got these speakers because i just needed something to get me by until i got more money but really i cant complain too much because i paid about 6$ for them Did you find this review helpful? |
Cheap but effectivePros: Cheap! Cons: Can't play at the highest volume on my computer, quality is low, no volume adjustment knob on speakers. Other Thoughts: It is cheap. That was my deciding factor in purchasing these. I bought nice headphones in case I wanted quality. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: none Cons: cant get any sound from them. I'm running windows 7 and i have no sound with these speakers. can anyone help !! 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
work finePros: Sound better than the L****** speakers they replaced. Cons: No volume control...must use windows Other Thoughts: The wire between the speakers should be longer. I have a 27" monitor and I have to place them behind it because the wire isn't long enough...again no biggie, I'll splice more speaker wire on. Did you find this review helpful? |
Cheap and junkiePros: None Cons: Sounds like a tin can and has no hardware volume controls...pretty junkie. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Absolutely HorrendousPros: -They came free with The Eagles I bought..... Cons: -Super flimsy build quality especially the stand, Feels like it's going to break. Overall the unit feels cheap(I know it's priced for cheapness, just pointing that out) Other Thoughts: Ugh... I'm keeping these in my closet... forever Did you find this review helpful? |
Thrifty is good!Pros: *Affordable. Cons: *These speakers are not marked 'LEFT' or 'RIGHT'. Therefore, using the sound settings utility in Windows, I discovered that the lighted speaker in the 'RIGHT' speaker--just as I thought. I labeled them on the back with my label maker. Other Thoughts: I bought these for someone else, but ended up keeping them for myself because I needed some speakers immediately. The wire between the L/R speakers is only 27" (68.5cm) long. They can span most flat panel monitors, but that's about it. I wish they had a on/off/volume control because I could use it. I may install an inline control of my own eventually. (Who am I kidding? When I find a good deal on a nice set of speakers, I'll jump right on them & give these away.) The stand is fixed & can't be removed. Some people with different setups may prefer to remove the stand in order to fit their layout (I could hack them off with a saw & turn them horizontally!?). 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have a couple of small sunken spots. My MD suggested Juvederm. He said I would look perfect after. I thought I had nothing to lose. I was wrong.
I realized it after 5 months when the effect of Juvederm treatment had worn off.
Suddenly wrinkles started appearing on my face I never had. I immediately went back to my MD and he suggested more Juvederm (Skin Filler). This time he said I needed more, perhaps, $6300 worth of Juvederm.
I took new pictures of my face and compared them to ones I took one year ago before the Juvederm treatments. I look 25 years older because of the new wrinkles caused by Juvederm stretch marks.
Juvederm or Any Skin fillers should only be used by people like Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall with a lot of wrinkles on their face already.
If you are young, don't use Juvederm or Any Skin fillers. Just use a little cover up. Don't listen to some MD who will destroy your face for profit.

Having a photography career suits Tammy fine. Over the years she's been able to work full or part-time depending on the other obligations in her life, like raising four children. She has been full time for the last two years, doing several hundred boudoir sessions a year in Southern California.
Over the years Tammy, who is also plus size, has developed a personal arsenal for capturing different body types in the best lighting. While personality and mannerisms play a role in a beautiful photograph, she gets her best inspiration from watching the client move, talk and of course laugh. Tammy believes every woman is sexy and she works on bringing that through to the customer's final product.
If you are not familiar with boudoir photographs they are artistically sensual images that highlight the model's positive traits. They usually involve showing a bit of skin but each image is dependent on the model's comfort level. When I asked Tammy why she decided to enter into the world of boudoir photography she had both a professional and a personal reply:
"The simple answer... because every woman should have the opportunity to see how beautiful she is. The long answer... I photographed my first session when I was twenty-one years old with two other photographers. It was fun but the real treat was the feeling of empowerment we had with the gorgeous photos from our session. I continued doing a few boudoir sessions a year along with weddings and portraits but it was a boudoir session of my own with a great photographer in my early thirties that really flipped a switch in me to specialize in boudoir photography. As I like to say I'm not a petite flower myself but when I saw the photos from that session I just cried and couldn't stop. For the first time in my life I felt beautiful and empowered. My goal is to help other women to experience that feeling too and I think having been on both sides of the camera has helped me to be sensitive and observant when photographing my clients. I still have photos from both of my sessions and look at them frequently to remind me exactly why I do boudoir photography. Boudoir sessions are great gifts for your significant other but I think it's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself."Tammy has had a number of photographers that inspire her but one that stands out the most in her mind is her friend and colleague from New York, Ulysses Ashton and his wife Jenni. Tammy feels he's one of the few photographers out there that "believes every woman is beautiful and should have images to showcase their beauty" and his work proves it. This is a philosophy Tammy also carries.
For photographers interested in a career in boudoir photography she urges them not to be clouded by the lure of money but to keep their focus on the subject, the woman, and taking the best image. "Good images will go a long way to empowering your client and showing her how beautiful she is but bad images can have a devastating effect on a woman's self esteem."
Looking through Tammy's gallery images it's obvious she gives each model special attention (check out her blog for the latest images). They looked so relaxed in her presence. Every image is captivating and it has nothing to do with society's fluctuating standard of beauty. Their radiance is definitely coming through. I only wish Tammy lived closer!

Viewing All
I'm impressed with the warmth of this hat. Got me through last winter's crazy midwest snowstorms without a problem. My only complaint is that it seems just a tad small for my head, which I've always thought is pretty average in size. Maybe I'm wrong and my head is larger than I thought, but my wife told me this hat is almost too small for me. I still wear it anyway.
Very great hat. Keeps Ears warm but can come up a bit short on covering ear lobes. Wind doesn't get through it much and its very lightweight and stretchy if that's what you want. Your head will be able to breath as well as be warm at the same time!
The Beanie does it's job. It's been keeping my head warm through the winter. It doesn't get as itchy as all of the past beanies I've worn in my adventures. So this one I'd say definitely tops them all. My only grip is that it fits a bit "short" I guess I could say, on my head. (I wear a medium bicycle helmet) which leaves my earlobes open to the cold, blistering wind while riding home, day or night.Other than that only gripe, I love the beanie and have been wearing and carrying it around ever since I've gotten it.But in the end, I'd recommend this beanie to a friend, or anyone interested in beanie! Also, it's thin enough to wear a helmet over it.

What does CFACT stand for?
Collegians For A Constructive Tomorrow
What does CFACT do?
CFACT is a national non-profit organization that relies principally on a growing legion of collegiate activists to reach college students with a positive, upbeat message. CFACT student chapters on college campuses organize campaigns to educate their peers on issues such as global warming, clean air and water, saving wildlife, energy independence, safe food, and the effects of government regulation, among others.
CFACT holds public programs on campuses featuring speakers like John Stossel, Jonah Goldberg, Dinesh D'Souza, Dr. Roy Spencer, Lord Christopher Monckton, and Chris Horner.
Is CFACT partisan?
CFACT is a non-partisan educational foundation committed to promoting free-markets, limited government, and less regulations.
What makes CFACT different from other environmental groups I see on my campus?
CFACT strongly believes most consumer and environmental problems can best be met and overcome- not through excessive government regulation and bureaucracy- but rather, by better unleashing the power of the free-enterprise system and the ingenuity of science and technology. Most environmental groups you find on college campuses will argue that the government needs to step in and regulate everything we do in order to "save the planet." CFACT brings a unique, refreshing take on environmental issues to campuses by presenting the scientific truth without the spin. CFACT's message is not one you'll hear from those other groups!
How do I start a chapter on my campus?
Does CFACT only focus on environmental issues?
CFACT's focus is primarily environmental issues. CFACT also focuses on consumer issues with the belief that limited government, lower taxes, and industry competition can not only offer consumers the highest quality goods at the lowest prices, but also spurs economic growth which is the single most important factor for a healthy environment.
How can I donate to CFACT?
Please visit cfact.org and click on the donate button or call Development Director Christina Norman at (651) 600-3802 to financially support our efforts.

LINCOLN — Even if some Maryland fans aren't thrilled with the Terrapins' move to the Big Ten, Nebraska defensive coordinator John Papuchis isn't complaining.
A native of Gaithersburg, Md., and a self-described "Maryland hoop fan," Papuchis said the Terps' switch to Nebraska's league might give him a shot of coaching in front of friends and family, most of whom still live in the area.
But Papuchis — who served as the Huskers' recruiting coordinator in 2011 — also said the move could help Nebraska's recruiting.
"I have some pretty good inroads — a couple guys on our staff do also — but the drawback was always guys not having the opportunity to play in front of friends and family," Papuchis said. "So from a recruiting perspective, it'll be good."
Papuchis said he can understand why Maryland fans — confronted with a sudden move away from traditional rivals — might be frustrated by the switch from the ACC and traditional basketball rivals. Maryland views itself, Papuchis said, as a basketball school.
But some of the traditional rivalries, Papuchis said, had already been watered down by ACC expansion anyway.
"College athletics is changing, and they see how it's changing," Papuchis said of Maryland's leadership. "And Maryland's trying to get ahead of it."
Burkhead '50-50' for Iowa
Coach Bo Pelini said senior I-back Rex Burkhead is "50-50" for Friday's game against Iowa.
Burkhead, recovering from sprained knee ligaments, suited up for NU's 38-14 win over Minnesota on Saturday but did not play. He practiced last week and will participate in workouts this week, too.
Burkhead hasn't played since leaving in the first quarter of Nebraska's 29-28 victory at Northwestern on Oct. 20.
Abdullah OK with nickname
Nebraska I-back Ameer Abdullah smiled and shook his head Monday when asked about his new nickname "Mighty Mouse," given to him by coach Ron Brown. It's not the first time Abdullah been slapped with the cartoon moniker. It seems that a former high school coach of Abdullah's called the 5-foot-9, 185-pounder the same name.
"It's OK, I guess," Abdullah said. "I'm not big on nicknames at all, but Coach Brown, yeah, he has a lot of nicknames for everybody, not just me. ... Mighty Mouse, you've seen the cartoons. He was a really courageous person, he beat all odds. If (Brown) thinks that highly of me, I appreciate it."
Iowa defense a new challenge
Offensive coordinator Tim Beck didn't talk with reporters after Nebraska's 38-14 win over Minnesota, so he took a brief opportunity to assess the Huskers' play after practice Monday.
"We were good enough," Beck said. "Early, we played pretty well. We were pretty sloppy in the second half though."
Beck said the Gophers' pack-the-box-and-blitz defense dictated that Nebraska throw to its receivers, who enjoyed one-on-one matchups on Minnesota corners.
Iowa's defense — a bend-don't-break scheme that plays zone pass defense — is an entirely different challenge.
"They play a system their guys know and they're good at what they do," Beck said. "... I don't think they're gonna try to trick you. I don't think they're going to try to do something unique or different that maybe we haven't seen."
