U.S. Under-17 Women Defeat Australia at Future Stars Tournament in New Zealand
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (January 29, 2008) - Sisters Kristen and Samantha Mewis combined for four goals and two assists while forward Vicki DiMartino added a goal and two assists as the U.S. Under-17 Women's National Team began a year it hopes will end at the 2007 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup with a 6-0 win over Australia at the Future Stars Tournament in New Zealand.
Jan. 29, 2008
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (January 29, 2008) - Sisters Kristen and Samantha Mewis combined for four goals and two assists while forward Vicki DiMartino (whose sister Tina recently debuted for the full WNT) added a goal and two assists as the U.S. Under-17 Women's National Team began a year it hopes will end at the 2007 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup with a 6-0 win over Australia at the Future Stars Tournament in New Zealand. It was the first international match of 2008 for the U.S. U-17s. The first-ever FIFA event for this age group will be played in New Zealand from Oct. 30-Nov. 16 and the Americans will attempt to qualify this summer.
After failing to qualify out of Asia for the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, Australia brought some younger players to this tournament as they build towards the next U-17 World Cup in 2010 and the Americans took advantage, scoring three times in each half. The Aussies played with a three-back alignment and after the 30th minute, the Americans pierced it efficiently and often.
The first goal came in the 32nd minute after DiMartino's defensive pressure forced a poor back pass by the Aussies. Tani Costa swooped in to win the ball and passed to a wide-open Kristen Mewis, who finished easily from four yards out. DiMartino doubled the lead in the 40th minute, scoring from just outside the penalty area into the lower left corner. Just one minute later, Samantha Mewis got her first goal of the match, pounding in a shot in from six yards out after DiMartino had slid the ball across the goal mouth.
"I thought that Australian players did well in the beginning of the match," said Kristen Mewis, who scored her first international goals at the U-17 level. "We didn't play our best to start out and it was a pretty even game, but they got a bit tired and we took over. I give them credit because they never gave up, and their goalkeeper had a really good game."
The first goal of the second half came in the 59th minute as Kristin Mewis added her second, slotting the ball home at the far post from eight yards out. In the 67th minute, Samantha Mewis scored almost a duplicate of her first goal, half-volleying a back-post cross from DiMartino.
Courtney Verloo decided not to let the Mewis' and DiMartino have all the goal scoring fun, heading home the final goal in the 79th minute off a corner kick from Kristin Mewis.
"I felt it was a very strong first game of the tournament, which is important because this is where the World Cup will be held," said U.S. head coach Kazbek Tambi. "We asked the players to treat the games as if they were the World Cup. The kids moved the ball around really well, finished great goals and played with great spirit. We hope we'll be able to improve as the week moves on."
The USA takes on the host New Zealand U-17 Women's National Team next on Jan. 31.

Landon Fulmer, Gov. Sam Brownback's chief of staff, delivered that good news about the state's jobless rate to a large audience at the First Friday Forum at Washburn Towers, 526 S. Main St., Ottawa.
"The unemployment rate was 6.3 percent when the governor came into office, and now it's dropped to 5.4 percent, and we think that it will continue to drop," Fulmer said.
Fulmer also was bullish on the business climate in Kansas.
"Before 2012, the record number of business start-ups in one year in Kansas was 13,500. We had 16,100 new business start-ups in Kansas in 2012, and that bodes very well for our tax base and our economy," Fulmer said.
Fulmer also talked about Kansas' competitive tax rates, which he said have made the eastern part of the state near the Kansas City metro area more competitive for new business start-ups and new residents, compared to neighboring Missouri.
"If you look at Kansas City, it's divided almost equally between Kansas and Missouri," Fulmer said.
But when Kansas' lower tax rates and better schools and roads are factored in, Fulmer said, it should enhance Kansas' ability to lure new businesses and jobs to the Kansas side of the metro area.
When economic analysts and legislators talk about states with zero income tax, Fulmer said, they usually talk about Texas and Florida.
"But I like to look at New Hampshire as the model state," Fulmer said. "New Hampshire has no income tax, and it is growing faster than any state in its region, 6 percent last year compared to other neighboring states' 3 percent growth, because people are moving from Boston, Bangor, Maine, and [other neighboring population centers], and new businesses are starting up or relocating to New Hampshire to take advantage of the state's zero income tax."
The governor is committed to funding education and building the roads the state has promised to build, while maintaining a balanced budget, Fulmer said.
One audience member expressed concern about the governor's plan to eliminate the Kansas mortgage interest tax deduction, and what that would mean for low-income families who rely on that tax credit.
Fulmer said the governor's plan would double the standard deduction for the head of a household from the current $4,500 to $9,000, and calls for income tax rates in the lower income bracket to drop from the current 3.9 percent to 1.5 percent in the next four years.
"I think it's difficult to find a scenario where a taxpayer would pay more income taxes under our plan, than they would if they still had the mortgage [interest tax deduction]," Fulmer said. "The governor's plan to lower the income tax rate and provide couples with the standard $9,000 deduction would eliminate the need for incentives like the mortgage interest deduction."
The governor's chief of staff also talked about Brownback's desire to change the selection process for state Supreme Court justices to match the federal selection system where the governor would nominate a prospective justice, which the Senate would either confirm or deny.
Under the current selection process, a Supreme Court Nominating Commission submits a list of three qualified individuals to the governor, who makes the selection. The commission is composed of five lawyer members selected by the Kansas Bar Association and four non-lawyer members appointed by the governor.
Richard Nienstedt, Ottawa's city manager, thanked Fulmer on behalf of the sponsors of the forum for filling in at the last minute, when featured speaker Steve Anderson, the governor's budget director, was summoned by a legislator and could not be in Ottawa Friday. The sponsors also thanked state Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, for arranging for Fulmer to be at the forum.
Nienstedt also told audience members it would be the last Friday Forum at Washburn Towers. He said the First Friday Forum scheduled for March 1 would take place at 10 a.m. at the forum's new monthly meeting location: Neosho County Community College, 900 E. Logan St., Ottawa.

During office hours, the CT Center IC Inbound module answers and seamlessly routes calls to agents who are logged onto the dialer as available to receive inbound calls. Call Blending allows all agents to maximize talk time by taking both inbound and outbound calls.
Inbound includes a choice of prompts for language, extension number and account number. The language prompt enables the caller to hear any additional prompts in the language selected. A response to the account number prompt simultaneously delivers the call to the designated agent with a "screen pop" showing account information. Calls can also be routed by extension number, line number answered or DNIS.
Real-time integration (RTI) enables routing based on agent assigned to the account, account balance, account age, account type, client, etc. Collectors are more productive when account information is pre-screened and calls are precisely routed.
Before and after office hours, or when all agents are busy, IC Inbound answers calls and allows debtors to select payment options or pay by phone 24/7. RTI between CT Center and the host system is not required, but it ensures that account information is both available and accurate. Standard reports show after-hours activity on accounts that can be keyed into the host system by agents.
IAT currently has Real-Time Host Integration with the following Host software: Columbia Ultimate, Commercial Legal Software (CLS), Debtmaster, Debt$Net, Cybersoft.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., was credited recently for rallying bipartisan support in the Senate for the first update of the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976.
It appears to be an example of the careful policy-setting work that the U.S. Senate should be doing.
After all, a former governor like Manchin knows a thing or two about the importance of getting regulation right - and the economic impact on real people when regulators get it wrong.
Under current law, the Environmental Protection Agency can initiate testing of a chemical "only if evidence surfaces that the substance is dangerous," wrote Brad Plumer of The Washington Post. "What's more, tens of thousands of existing chemicals were exempt from review when the law was enacted in 1976."
Of 84,000 chemicals registered in the United States, the EPA has deemed dangerous and banned only five.
But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found at least 212 chemicals in people, including at least six known carcinogens and dozens that are linked to cancer, birth defects and other diseases.
Clearly, there is a need to update the law.
Last week, Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Sen. David Vitter, R-La., said they had reached an agreement to do so. It drew eight Democratic senators, including Manchin, and eight Republican co-sponsors.
The Lautenberg-Vitter Chemical Safety Improvement Act of 2013 would let the EPA:
* Review all actively used chemicals and label them as high or low priority based on their potential risk to human health and the environment. High-priority substances would get further review.

Justin Foss '10
Mechanical engineering major Justin Foss '10 is a prime example of how getting involved in high school can make all the difference for college, at least when it comes to financial aid.
Justin, who attended Suffield high school, in West Suffield, Conn., knew Clarkson was near the top of his list of potential colleges when he first started looking. What he didn't know was that Clarkson would become his top choice after he received his acceptance letter and financial aid package, which included the FIRST scholarship.
The FIRST scholarship is open to any student who participated in FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics as an extracurricular activity in high school. With the scholarship, Justin received an extra $6,000 per year on top of his already solid financial package.
"Receiving the FIRST scholarship was great and it certainly factored into my decision to come to Clarkson, but it wasn't the only factor," says Justin. "I chose Clarkson because it's a small private university where I can have real hands-on opportunities through programs such as SPEED and I can continue with FIRST robotics. I also really love the tight-knit community atmosphere and the location."
Justin's experiences with FIRST robotics at Clarkson have already taken him to collegiate competitions across New York state, including Rochester and New York City. In FIRST competitions, teams have only six weeks to design and build a remote-controlled robot that competes in a sporting-like event.
On campus, Justin is also involved in the FIRST Living Learning Community (LLC), where he is a peer mentor for other FIRST scholarship winners and team members. He is also a member of the Official Bonesaw Brigade, which accounts for a large portion of the spirited student cheering section at Clarkson hockey games.
He says, "I will never regret choosing to come to Clarkson."
After graduation, Justin plans on finding a position in either automotive or defense engineering and working towards his Professional Engineering license. His long-term goal is to become a high school technical education teacher. "I know Clarkson will prepare me well with both the background knowledge and experiences I need to be successful," he concludes.

London & South Eastern Railway Limited, trading as Southeastern, is a British train operating company serving south-east England. On 1 April 2006 it became the franchisee for the new Integrated Kent Franchise (IKF), replacing the publicly owned South Eastern Trains on the former South East Franchise. It operates the commuter routes to south-east London, most of Kent, and parts of East Sussex.
Southeastern serves the main London stations of Charing Cross, Victoria, Blackfriars, Cannon Street, London Bridge, Waterloo East and St Pancras. The Southeastern network has a route mileage of 540, with 179 stations. About 70% of its services run to and from London.[3]
It is owned by Govia, a joint venture between Go-Ahead Group and Keolis, which also operates the neighbouring Southern franchise, which overlaps with Southeastern in some areas. The company's formal name, under which it mounted its bid for the franchise, is London and South Eastern Railway (LSER).
The managing director is Charles Horton, formerly MD of sister company Southern.
History of the franchise[edit]
Since the privatisation of British Rail, the franchise to run trains in this area has been held by three different companies. The first company to win the South-Eastern Franchise, on 14 October 1996, was Connex, which operated it under the name Connex South Eastern. Connex gained a reputation for unreliable services, but it was for "poor financial management" that its franchise was cut short by the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) on 9 November 2003.[4] Train services were then taken over by South Eastern Trains, a wholly owned subsidiary of the SRA/Department for Transport created for the purpose, until bidding for a new franchise was due. This would see the existing South-Eastern franchise combined with the new high-speed services to be operated on High Speed 1 (formerly known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link) to form a new Integrated Kent Franchise (IKF).[5]
The opening of the second phase of High Speed 1 in November 2007 made available train paths on the traditional network previously used by Eurostar, allowing Southeastern to increase certain services in December 2007.[6] In December 2008, as part of the franchise agreement, responsibility for the Redhill to Tonbridge Line was handed over to Southern. Southeastern high-speed services began full operations on 14 December 2009.[7]
In March 2009 the bay platforms at London Blackfriars closed for reconstruction as part of the Thameslink Programme. Southeastern services previously terminating at Blackfriars, mostly from Sevenoaks via the Catford loop, were extended to Kentish Town, St Albans, Luton or Bedford.[8] As a result of this change, Southeastern now operates these services jointly with First Capital Connect using 20 dual-voltage Class 319 sets (which remain in FCC livery) as well as newly built Class 377 Electrostars.[9] When the station fully reopened with new bay platforms in May 2012 these services continued to run, but in the evening and at weekend (when the station had been closed) instead of terminating at Victoria services now terminate at Blackfriars.[10]
Following the Department For Transport's review after the cancellation of the InterCity West Coast franchise process, extensions were granted to the franchises due for renewal in the near future. Southeastern franchise's was extended from 31 March 2014 to June 2018.[2][1]
Javelin shuttle[edit]
The Olympic Javelin[11] or Javelin[12][13] was a high-speed train shuttle service operated by Southeastern over High Speed 1 during the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. The service ran for the duration of both games, between St Pancras International station and Ebbsfleet International station, via Stratford International station, which is close to the Olympic Park.[14] During the Summer Olympics a service of eight trains an hour ran between St Pancras and Ebbsfleet, calling at Stratford, replacing the usual East Kent highspeed service. Two of these were extended to Ashford and one to Faversham. Between 11pm and 1am the service between St Pancras and Ebbsfleet was increased to twelve per hour.[15]
Announced as part of the successful London 2012 Olympic bid, it was an integral part of a plan to improve public transport in London in readiness for the Olympics, an area of the bid that was initially regarded as being poor by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).[citation needed] The British Olympic Association applied to register Javelin as a UK trademark on 19 July 2005 and this was granted on 2 June 2006.[16] The service was operated by Southeastern on High Speed 1 using the fleet of Class 395 trains, and because of this the class is sometimes referred to as the Javelin.[17][18]
At St Pancras there is interchange with the Underground and with trains to/from the Midlands, Scotland, and the North of England. For track capacity reasons, Eurostar trains, which have never called at Stratford, did not do so during the games.[14] It was expected that over 80% of Olympic spectators would travel to and from the venues by rail. Services to the Olympic Park were planned to offer a total capacity of 240,000 travellers per hour, some 25,000 of whom were expected to use the Javelin service.
Southeastern Brands[edit]
Southeastern has three distinct sub-brands: Highspeed (grey), Mainline (green) or Metro (pink) and colours its network map accordingly.
Southeastern[19] introduced a full timetable of domestic high-speed services branded Southeastern Highspeed over High Speed 1 between London St Pancras and Ashford International on 13 December 2009; a limited preview service had been running since 29 June 2009. High-speed trains use High Speed 1 calling at Stratford International and Ebbsfleet International. Trains from London to the Medway towns and Faversham leave the high-speed line at Ebbsfleet and continue via the North Kent line and Chatham Main Line. Trains for Dover Priory and Margate leave the high-speed line at Ashford International. A limited peak-hour service now also operates between St Pancras and Maidstone West via Ebbsfleet and Strood.
When bidding for the franchise, Southeastern made a point of advertising part-owner SNCF's experience operating integrated high-speed train services on the French TGV network.[20] A fleet of 29 six-coach Shinkansen-derived high-speed 'A-trains' were built in Japan by Hitachi for this route.[21] Known as Class 395, this was Hitachi's first train sale in Britain. The colour scheme for the high-speed trains is dark blue. The services are marketed as Southeastern Highspeed, and some of the trains are named after British Olympians such as Steve Redgrave and Ben Ainslie.[22][23]
At the same time there was the largest change to the timetable in the area in 40 years. With the fast trains now travelling over High Speed 1, the Charing Cross to Ashford stopping service was extended to Dover, Canterbury and Ramsgate. It was noted by Barry Doe, fares and timetables columnist for RAIL, that some high-speed services were not much faster than the previous main-line services, especially those on the North Kent coast, but that the main-line services had been slowed down in the new timetable, notably by the addition of extra stops, making the high-speed services appear much faster by comparison.[citation needed]
Fares for journeys that include the High Speed 1 section of line (between St Pancras International and Gravesend) generally include a surcharge.
Southeastern[24] is the key operator for Kent, and also serves East Sussex. 'Mainline' services connect central London with Dover, Folkestone, Hastings, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Ramsgate, Chatham, Maidstone and Canterbury. The backbone fleet on these services is the Class 375 Electrostar, although the Class 465/9 Networker is also used on occasion.
In December 2009 Southeastern saw 'Highspeed' trains stopping at 'Mainline' stations, and some longer timings on 'Mainline' services as trains called at more stations. Services to Tonbridge were maintained at six trains per hour off-peak, two per hour going forward to Ashford and beyond, two per hour to Hastings, and two per hour terminating at Tunbridge Wells. With high-speed services reaching Faversham, the half-hourly Victoria to Faversham stopping service was replaced with an hourly service to Gillingham and additional stops on the "fast" services to London Victoria. On the Maidstone East Line, services from London Cannon Street to Ashford International via Maidstone East and from London Victoria to Maidstone East and to Canterbury West via Ashford were replaced by a half-hourly Victoria to Ashford service. The Strood to Paddock Wood service was extended to Tonbridge.
Southeastern[25] serves south-east and south London, its central stations being London Blackfriars, London Bridge, London Charing Cross, London Cannon Street, London Victoria and Waterloo East. 'Metro' trains serve Greenwich, New Cross, Lewisham, Dartford, Gravesend, Woolwich Arsenal, Hayes, Peckham Rye, Bromley South, Bexleyheath, Orpington and Sevenoaks, and also run a joint service with First Capital Connect Thameslink route with a service from Sevenoaks via Catford to Kentish Town or further north. Trains change company operation at London Blackfriars. Southeastern runs Class 376 Electrostar, Class 466 & Class 465 Networkers for 'Metro' services, although a Class 375 Electrostar is used on occasion.
On New Year's Eve, some Metro services operate all through the night.
Current routes[edit]
Current weekday off-peak services. These services are:[26]
In addition to the above, there are peak-only services, These are:
- London St Pancras to Broadstairs via Chatham
- London St Pancras to Maidstone West via Gravesend
- London Cannon Street to Broadstairs /Ramsgate via Chatham
- London Cannon Street to Ore
- Bedford to Ashford[1]
- Worked north of London Blackfriars by First Capital Connect.
Thameslink Programme[edit]
By the conclusion of the Thameslink Programme in 2018, it is planned that the current off-peak services from Sevenoaks via Bat and Ball will be joined by trains from Orpington together with trains from Maidstone East and Paddock Wood via London Bridge. Thameslink services to Dartford, once mooted, are not now thought feasible because of timetabling constraints. Peak-hour trains are planned from Tunbridge Wells and Ashford International via London Bridge together with trains from Maidstone East, Sevenoaks and Orpington via the Catford Loop.[27]
Oyster Pay-As-You-Go is now available from all Zone 1–6 stations served by the company, apart from journeys on High Speed 1 between St Pancras International and Stratford International.
In late 2010 Southeastern increased the price of certain season ticket prices by an average of 7.8%.[28]
Figures released by NR (Network Rail) rate punctuality at 92.6% (PPM) over period 7 of 2013/2014, and 91.0% moving annual average (MAA) for the 12 months up to 12 October 2013.[29]
In late 2010 the company faced a barrage of criticism for its performance during extreme weather conditions in the south-east of England.[30] Many commuters have indicated that they would like to see MD Charles Horton removed from his post and that the franchise be taken from Southeastern,[31] and there are also allegations that Southeastern deliberately runs reduced services to skew its official performance figures.[32]
Rolling stock[edit]
Southeastern operates a fleet of about 367 trains, all of which are electric multiple units.
Southeastern will receive 100 Class 377 units in coming years according to Department for Transport documents published in September 2013, relating to the new combined Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern Franchise.[33]
Current fleet[edit]
Since 22 March 2009 timetable change, Southeastern has been operating Class 319 dual-voltage units shared with First Capital Connect (FCC) to operate most services via London Blackfriars as part of the Thameslink programme. Southeastern operates the service south of Blackfriars, FCC taking over its operation north thereof. This restored some services that initially operated when the Thameslink route was opened in the late 1980s. Southeastern will also share some of the 23 new dual-voltage Class 377 units bound for the Thameslink route.[34]

Past fleet[edit]
The arrangement with First Capital Connect for the services via Thameslink, coupled with the transfer of some routes to Southern, has allowed Southeastern to withdraw its small fleet of Class 508 EMUs and replace them with Networker stock cascaded from other services.

Cloverdale man with 5-year-old daughter in car arrested on DUI charge
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 9:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 9:46 a.m.
A Cloverdale man who was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving early Sunday had his 5-year-old daughter in the car with him at the time, the CHP said.
Two CHP officers stopped at around 12:15 a.m. Sunday to check on the occupants of an Acura sedan that was stopped on the side of the road on Highway 12 at Dutton Avenue.
Martin Reyes Rosales, 29, refused a field sobriety test after he showed obvious signs of intoxication. When the officers went to arrest him, Rosales resisted, leading to a brief scuffle, Officer Nenad Gorenec said.
Rosales's young daughter was unrestrained and seated in the front passenger seat of the car.
The girl's grandmother drove from Cloverdale to pick her up, Gorenec said.
Child Protective Services also was contacted.
Rosales, who allegedly had $1,000 in counterfeit money in his possession, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, child endangerment and forgery.
He posted bail later Sunday morning and was released, according to a Sonoma County Jail official.

Yep, count me in among those who saw the light and laughed hard & long at this wonderfully entertaining film.After 18 years of Simpsons fanaticism I too thought this would be a cheap, obligatory cash-in, but Groening and Co. did a fantastic job of creating a film that is funny, but is in fact a BIG screen film; from the comic timing to the soundtrack and plot development, everything about this film is geared to the big screen experience, and I doubt it will work as well when released on DVD.
Bend Over
Saw a wonderful guitar pull over the weekend. For those unfamiliar with the term, guitar pulls involve three of four people, sitting in a line or around a circle, taking turns playing their own songs. Christopher Denny, Mike Ferrio and Matt Mays, all of whom are signed to the 2:59:00 label, were superb, managing with no rehearsal to accompany each other. Fresh off his debut record, Denny, from Arkansas, has a big voice and seems like a talent worthy keeping an eye on. Ferrio is the founder of the band Tandy, is a big talent. And finally there was Matt Mays, an accomplished singer/songwriter from Nova Scotia, where he leads a band called El Torpedo. All three were really focused, singing extremely well and being very respectful of each others space. All three have releases available on www.2minutes59.com.

Little Brother Montgomery
Little Brother Montgomery
A notable influence on the likes of Sunnyland Slim and Otis Spann, pianist Little Brother Montgomery's lengthy career spanned both the earliest years of blues history and the electrified Chicago scene of the 1950s. By age 11, Montgomery had given up on attending school to instead play in Louisiana juke joints. He came to Chicago as early as 1926 and made his first 78s in 1930 for Paramount, including two enduring signature items, "Vicksburg Blues" and "No Special Rider," recorded in Grafton, WI. Bluebird recorded Montgomery more prolifically in 1935-1936 in New Orleans.

Sydney - Embattled Wallabies coach Robbie Deans looks likely to keep his job and be in charge for the British and Irish Lions tour next year after rugby chiefs said there was "very little chance" of change.
Deans has been under pressure since Australia's poor Rugby Championship campaign this year, although a European tour that saw them beat England, Italy and Wales handed him breathing space.
The media have blasted his tactics, which saw the team end the year averaging just one try per Test, but Australian Rugby Union chairperson Michael Hawker defended Deans's performance.
Hawker admitted he was concerned by the lack of tries "but we have been missing some of our most spectacular running backs", he told The Australian. (So good t osee someone understanding basic CONTEXT!!)
"Having Quade Cooper and Will Genia and James O'Connor, all international-quality players, out of our backline does make a difference, just as New Zealand without Dan Carter and Richie McCaw would lose something." (Please note saSUE - also Digby was out at times as well. Then there were forwards like Horwill etc. About 8 in all - more than half the side)
Deans, who has been coach since 2008, still has to undergo an end-of-year review by the board, which includes former greats John Eales, George Gregan and Brett Robinson, but Hawker suggested his job was safe.
"There is no view to moving the incumbent on until there is reason to," Hawker told the newspaper. "There is very little chance of a change."
The Wallabies face the Lions in three Tests at home next year, starting in Brisbane on June 22, followed by Melbourne (June 29) and Sydney (July 6).
Wise decision and only fair. Deans has been building up a young side and was blown out of the water this year much like Meyer by injuries. 2013 will hopefully be a fairer test for both coaches.

Video: James Franklin recruiting players on campus at Vandy
Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin is trying to increase his numbers, not bench press or forty time, although he could be working on that as well.
The Vandy coaching staff is trying to add players to the Vanderbilt squad list to change the way the Commordores can practice.
Franklin says, "We're probably down 25-35 members compared to other SEC teams and really teams around the country."
Solution? Vandy has opened up tryouts for walk-on positions.
The neat thing is that Vanderbilt created a behind-the-scenes video of the walk-on tryouts. We noticed the head man, himself, charting 5-10-5 pro shuttle times. We also noticed a sweet hair due.
More than anything, we noticed about 6 guys that will be running down on the 2011 Scout Kick-Off Coverage team. They will love it.
Colorado head coach Jon Embree provides classic quote
Damn. We're starting to like some of the quotes that Colorado head coach Jon Embree is providing.
Embree, who coach the tight ends with the Washington Redskins last season, apparently doesn't like what he saw on film from Colorado last season.
Embree told The Daily Camera, "What shows up to me on tape was we didn`t play hard. That`s really what showed up on tape. We let the scoreboard affect how we played way too much. Instead of focusing on the next play. You can`t look at the scoreboard. Your job is to beat the guy across from you that play no matter what happened good or bad before it."
He didn't stop there.
"We`re awful at situational football, at understanding what the situation is," Embree explained. "So we will start that this spring. We`re starting it the first practice about understanding the situations and what it means and why you have to do certain things and think. We don`t know how to play the game within the game. We just showed and played last year. It`s like recess."
Come on, coach. You missed your one golden opportunity to compare it to "intramurals, brother."
In case you missed it, Embree provided some powerful words during a luncheon with Colorado supporters. Here's the speech:
Quick Hits: Geoff Collins, Bielema, Mattison, and Todd Berry
Mississippi State co-defensive coordinator / linebackers coach Geoff Collins offers an early morning tweet, today: "Rise and Grind!!! Theres gonna be some TACKLE Football being played this afternoon in Stark-Vegas...#GoDawgs #D-SWAG"
We are not sure if the #D-SWAG is for Dawgs, Dogs, or defense. Either way, there will certainly be some swag, thus the "SWAG."
That's good stuff. And from what we hear, Collins may have a little music playing in his pre-practice position meeting.
Bret Bielema says Chris Ash will call the defensive schemes: "Chris is going to be the voice. He and Charlie will work together on decisions, much the same thing (we) used when I was at Kansas State. Bobby Elliott was the defensive coordinator. I was the co-defensive coordinator."
"I was involved in game plans, decision-making...but I really believe on game day you need one voice. And Chris will be that voice."
Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison jokes that Denard Robinson will need 2 red jerseys this Spring: "I've had a lot of fun with him already. He's already telling me this is going to be my worst spring in a lot of years, and I've already said, 'You better get two red jerseys on, not one.'"
"Our whole goal is to get our defense back to playing Michigan defense, and you know what that is."
ULM head coach Todd Berry seems very optimistic as Spring practice begins: "I'm as excited as I've ever been for a spring. We have so many players coming back that have played so much football."
"It doesn't mean that we're old. It means we've got a lot of guys that have played a lot of football."
"What I think is really unique about this group, I think the chemistry on the team is a special chemistry. I think when I've been around those groups that have that really special bond — that special chemistry — where they play hard for each other then significant things start happening, and I think we're getting ready to see that."
Texas high school football gets it
A viewer sent us a link today to the Texas High School Coaches Association's website. THSCA has entered into a multi-year agreement with Digital Sports Video (DSV) in which DSV is now the official video company of the THSCA.
As part of the agreement, DSV will provide:
- Free video exchange for all coaches in Texas
- Free access for high school athletes to produce recruiting highlight videos for Player Direct, the largest recruiting video library in the nation
- DSV will provide sport specific video technology education at the THSCA annual coaching school
In our opinion, the THSCA has just set the standard. They recognized how integral video has become in today's world. They reached out to DSV with whom they already had a relationship (and the video technology provider that most high schools in Texas use anyway) and said let's make this easier for all of our coaches.
We love the fact that DSV will be providing video technology education for free at the coaching school.
Video is evolving and everyone knows the impact video is having in recruiting. High school coaches and athletes need access to the best possible technology (and training to use it) and we think this is a great partnership that the THSCA and DSV / Player Direct have entered into.
It is widely known that DSV is a sponsor of The Scoop and we truly appreciate the relationship we have with them. In this case, our relationship isn't what's driving this article.
This is truly a step in the right direction. For as anyone who has ever worked as part of a college recruiting staff will tell you, life would be so much easier if every high school and their athletes used a common video platform and everyone had access to the same video.
Harsin looking for 4 things from Texas quarterbacks
Texas co-offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Bryan Harsin is looking at 4 components to determine the Longhorns' starting quarterback.
Garrett Gilbert, Case McCoy, and Connor Wood are competing to lead the Longhorns.
Harsin explained, "There are four things that we talked about, and this is just quarterback play in general. One is toughness. Two is preparation. Number three is decision-making, and four is accuracy. We've been talking about the decision-making process while we are out there on the field, and then we have been working on the fundamentals to try to get better with our accuracy."
"The toughness part will come when you get into the scrimmages, when you get into those game situations where those guys will stay in the pocket and move around, or they will throw the ball away when they are supposed to and that is the only play."
Co-offensive coordinator / running backs coach Major Applewhite said, "Guys are really taking to the offensive scheme. They really like the stuff that we're doing. But more so, they're taking to the tempo - what we're doing in practice and how we want to see them work. Everybody runs the zone, everybody runs the power, everybody runs four verticals, but how do you practice it?"
"The players are willing to learn new things, new ideas, new tempos and new ways to practice. Trying to understand that it's more than just putting in new plays, we're trying to change the culture of how we practice - the effort that we put forth and the tempo in which we practice drill-to-drill."
Texas will wrap up Spring practice with a nationally televised game on ESPN. The game is set for Sunday, April 3rd at 3 pm EST.
Quick Hits: Bo Pelini, Gary Patterson, and Bobby Petrino
Bo Pelini reflects on staff changes and former offensive coordinator Shawn Watson: "I had a plan the whole way. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, how I wanted to get there. I wanted to do it the right way for me, and for the guys. People may not agree with how I did it, but I have to do it the way I see fit.''
"There was such a negative air around everything. It was his (Watson's) decision as much as anything. He had said, 'I've got to move on.' You get to the point where you get beat up the way he was getting beat up, I mean, he has goals. He's done a lot in his career. It had become like the snowball was running so fast, it was out of control. He wanted to remove himself from the situation as much as anything else.''
Gary Patterson describes first day of Spring practice: "We just taught more defense today than some defenses teach all year with our zone-blitz package. [The younger players] handled it pretty good; actually the guys who screwed it up the most were older linebackers."
Bobby Petrino glad to keep coaching staff intact this off-season: "It was critical to keep our coaching staff intact this year. We had a lot of changes last year. With the loss of some of our seniors and guys with a lot of experience, to have the continuity in the techniques that teach and the language that we talk, we'll be a step ahead of last year when we started spring football."
(on his 7-year contract) "It helps a lot. It's really refreshing for me to go in a recruit's house and talk to mom and dad and let that young man know I will be here. I will be your football coach throughout your entire college career. I certainly feel like that helps a lot."
Quarterback / assistant offensive coordinator Weeden teaching Todd Monken
Mike Gundy hired Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers coach Todd Monken as offensive coordinator with the objective to keep the Cowboys' offense very similar to the scheme installed by Dana Holgorsen.
Here's where it gets weird.
After the first day of Spring practice in Stillwater, quarterback Brandon Weeden offered an interesting critique of Coach Monken…or "Todd" as Weeden has called him.
Weeden sounded more like a coach when he explained, "Yeah, I was very impressed. He (Monken) did great. He's really learning. I think he probably sleeps up here. If I had to guess, he's spent a lot time up here studying film. He didn't miss a beat."
"He (Monken) did a great job. He did a lot better than I did on my first day. He said he was going to make a lot of mistakes, but I don't think he made any, to be honest with you. I think he did well. He was signaling well, communicating well. It's amazing how smart he is, how much football knowledge he has."
Monken admitted, "It's different. It's different running the offense and signaling and having the quarterbacks. I'm used to having the wide outs and being a little more involved."
Monken is one of three new coaches to the Oklahoma State offensive staff. Former Air Force assistant Jemal Singleton coaches the running backs and former Southern Miss assistant Kasey Dunn coaches the wide receivers.
Weeden is still listed as "Quarterback" on the roster. The "assistant offensive coordinator" title has yet to be approved by the Board of Regents.
We are kidding about the title, of course.
YouTube helped Manny Diaz land Texas job
Mack Brown told the New York Times that 3 SEC head coaches recommended that he hire Manny Diaz as his defensive coordinator. The recommendations were important to Brown, but the Texas head coach said that Manny's YouTube clips were important, too.
Brown explained, "Everywhere I would call, and I hire a lot of SEC coaches because the pressure is a lot like this place, I asked three different head coaches in the SEC who they would hire and they all said, 'The guy at Mississippi State.' I don't even know if they knew for sure what Manny's name was at the time. They said that he's doing stuff no one else is doing, that's he innovative and on the edge of it."
"So after the third call from an SEC head coach that said that I ought to hire Manny Diaz, I called my brother Watson and said, 'Do you anything about Manny Diaz?' He said, 'Yeah, my offensive line coach is his best friend.' He said they were graduate assistants together at one point. He said he'd find out about him and he called me back and said the guy is brilliant and on the edge of everything. When I started studying all of their video, you watch the Ole Miss game and Michigan game. I had about seven videos of them."
"Now you can pull up, it's unbelievable, you can pull up anything on YouTube. You get him at clinics and talking to the team. I got interviews without ever talking to these guys. That was fun for me, too. In looking at what he was doing. He's doing a lot of stuff that Rex Ryan is doing with the Jets."
Texas will wrap up Spring practice with a nationally televised game on ESPN. The game is set for Sunday, April 3rd at 3 pm EST.

I was a huge fan of Chanel Cristalle and wore it throughout my twenties. I always had mixed reactions from my husband, friends and family, some liked, some didn't. I recently purchased Cristalle Eau Verte, and any reaction would be welcome as sadly after half an hour it almost completely disappears on me. It starts off a little harsh and lemony, I think I can smell the magnolia and bergamot coming through as it dries down. Then nothing....... disappears on me. Perfumes usually last well on me. Sadly I won't be purchasing again as consider that I have spent £50 for nothing, very disappointed, I will go back to my other Chanel favourites.
Can't get past the smell of a lemon cleaning product. My husband screwed his nose up too. So wanted to like it, but it's one of the worst perfumes I have ever had. Oh well, back to the chanel counter it goes...
Aha...another take on Cristalle, the legendary Cristalle after the EDP interpretation....
It is fresh, green and suprising, for a fragrance of this genre, I find this a very long lasting fragrance even more so if compared to the original Cristalle EDT (new re-formulated version) which is to me, hardly much left after half and hour or so.
I love the original Cristalle for it unique character but alas, it is not for me as it do not last on my body chemistry as metioned above but for Cristalle Eau Verte, it is a totally different story altogether....it lasts and smells divine with its constant all round freshness...
A great fragrance for hot weather and is a great perk me up or freshen me up fragrance....
As I always advocate fragrances with its own character and not the common fruity/syrup sweet smelling types, I find Cristalle Eau Verte (despite not entirely original in both name, as it is a flanker anyway as well as the constuction of the fragrance) still a very refreshing, interesting and more easily accepted twist from its original Cristalle big sister....

Imagine a bowl of ice-cold water, floating in it: lime slices, lemon blossoms, orange blossoms, blossoms freshly picked from a very green kind of jasmine, ice-cubes and sweet scented magnolia blossoms...
The effect is fresh and clear as water but never cold, just cooling and effervescent with a sweet top (the magnolia) that takes all the dreaded old-fashioned negative chypre-associations away.
(It is not: herbal or mossy, which I like per se, but this is NOT what you're going to find here - contrary to the original Cristalle EdT...)
Official notes are:
Magnolia, lemon, bergamot, neroli, jasmine, and abstract white flowers.
This is absolutely becoming one of my top three scents and my first choice for the upcoming spring and summer.
If you like Light Blue or Ô de Lancôme, go for it!

i love how this fresh, rather masculine smell developes into a warm feminine scent!
I was in the mood for something to remind me of summer, now that winter feels right around the corner. I had Cristalle in mind, having been a long-time fan of the EDT and having had a brief fling with the EDP. I tested both, and neither were hitting the mark. This flanker turned out to be just right. It has the lightness and sharp citrus of the EDT and the sweeter floral of the EDP (but magnolia here vs jasmine). If you like either, it is worth testing. The SA told me it layers well with the original Cristalle lotion. I haven't tried it yet, but it smells plausible.
ETA: I have bumped up the lippies from four to five as I've been wearing this every day for over a week and completely love it!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Eau Verte, maybe. Overt- no. I really, really like this and have revelled in my little decant during a hot week but the lasting power is crummy. Low sillage, too. Maybe this is a good thing for some, but I like to smell a bit of the goods that I've shelled out so much hard earned cash for. At about a dollar a ml, it's the perfume equivilent of a mocha frappichino, because you'll go through about $5 a day if you reapply it frequently enough that you can percieve it on yourself. So no, I wouldn't repurchase. But man, is it a singingly glorious summer morning for the first 15 minutes or so... Lovely, classy, refreshing, clean but lacking that hideous windexey note that so many 'clean' modern scents go crazy for. It smells like Grace Kelly in white linen tennis clothes off to play a match of both sport and wit against James Stewart. Just perfect if it works for you.

I'm on my second bottle of Cristalle Eau Verte. I have to say i absolutely adore it! it works magic with my body chemistry. I get why someone finds it masculine because my friend liked it on me so much she sprayed some on her wrist, we both agreed that it smelled like men's cologne on her - musky and woody (weird!).
but on me it smells citrusy at first, which is perfect for Hong Kong summer, after half an hour or so it dries down to a beautiful floral note. The only thing to complain about is the staying power, i have to re-apply during/after lunch. Gotta figure out a way though now that i have the 100ml bottle!
I wore the original Cristalle in the early 80s and absolutely loved it - it was the only fragrance for me - but then they changed it and I didn't like it anymore. So I was excited to find that they'd come out with this version. This will definitely "remind" you of the original Cristalle but it's more feminine and soft. It opens with the same lemon/bergamot notes as the original Cristalle, but dries down to a "soapy" scent, with the citrus notes in the background. Maybe it's the magnolia, which some describe as "creamy", or maybe it's just how it smells on me. So it seems odd that they would name it "Eau Verte" as if the green notes are more emphasized than the original Cristalle when in fact I think it's the opposite. Anyway it's a nice blend of crisp and feminine, and subtle enough to wear for everyday. Since I can't have the original Cristalle, I guess this is the next best thing.
