Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked amazing on the red carpet at the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in West Hollywood, California on Sunday night.
She has a body to-die-for and that was only highlighted by her gorgeous Valentino Fall 2009 Couture gown.
Her nude strapless gown with gunmetal beading was paired with Jimmy Choo 'Jigsaw' platform sandal and Jimmy Choo 'Lexie' clutch.
With her hair swept up and complementary accessories she was utter perfection.
The sad thing for us mere mortals is even off duty she still looks this beautiful.

1080p support on Windows Phone, yay or nay?26
Straight up? NAY.
Before I explain why, let me first introduce myself as a person who's against the trend of large phones. And also phones with extremely high PPI. Why? Because in terms of ergonomics, large phones are uncomfortable, and barely usable with one hand. And having more PPI than you need, causes compromise in many other places (battery life, performance).
The biggest problem with smartphones are the battery life. Dumbphones could last a week, and with smartphones we've downgraded that to a day. The second biggest problem is durability. They break easier than dumbphones. So IMO, these are the two biggest issues that needs to be worked on by the entire phone industry.
Now, why do I say no for 1080p support? You may think that no harm can come from it, that Microsoft is just opening more doors.
But that door needs to be closed. At least for now.
1) The world does not need more high PPI phones. By supporting 1080p, manufacturers like Nokia will be pressured to produce a phone with 1080p. I've already explained why this is bad.
2) The 'bigger is better' trend for phones is stupid. Screen size will tend to get larger to fit the pixels. I've also explained why this is no good.
3) 1280x768 is PLENTY. Seriously, who NEEDS more than this? Personally I don't even need anything above 800x480! Even the iPhone has only 640 horizontal pixels. Your phone is not meant to be viewed from an inch away, so enough of this 'I don't want to see pixels on my phone'.
Sure, I understand that we will sooner or later live in a world where distinguishing pixels are a thing of the past, but now is not that time. There are compromises that we cannot afford to make.
4) Stick with 5:3. This one may be quite personal, but 5:3 is a superior ratio compared to 16:9. 16:9 is only popular because that's the standard for videos. But 5:3 (1.667) is a closer number to that golden ratio (1.618) than 16:9 (1.778). In fact I think 16:10 should be revived, made as the new standard for all movies/videos, and all screens from phones to TV's will have a 16:10 aspect ratio. Just because it's the closest to 1.618.
And also, Windows Phone began with 800x480, a 5:3 ratio. That is the iconic resolution and aspect ratio for Windows Phone. Even when Windows Phone supported HD 720p (1280x720, a 16:9), they made a 5:3 equivalent (1280x768), that was superior to 720p. If they were to eventually support 1080p, I hope they will come up with a 5:3 resolution than betters 1080p. Just to put the primary focus on the 5:3 ratio.
Please, don't start the 'I want to watch movies on my phone and 1080p + large screen will be good for that' argument. A phone is not a device primarily for watching movies. It's a device you CAN watch a movie with, and that's it. A mobile communications device is never going to be an optimal device for you to watch movie on, that's just never part of the design intention of a phone.
If you want to watch a movie on the go, bring a tablet/laptop with you.
Now, there is one exception that would make me accept 1080p support on Windows Phone. If they intend to replace Windows RT with it.
If Microsoft is going to ditch RT and make Windows Phone double as a tablet OS, then 1080p support would be inevitable.
Otherwise. NAY.

Since most many of us are already thinking about 2011, I thought I'd throw an interesting question out there.
What about Vlad as DH in 2011? While most fans wanted Vlad to stay around for the legacy of the Angels, many reluctantly agreed that letting him walk after 2009 was a sound business decision. But now that he appears healthy in 2010, I wonder if he and the front office would consider reuniting, so that Vlad could finish his career as a Halo.
His current contract contains a mutual option for 2011. Thoughts?

The Isaac Bruce "win guarantee" in the Rams-Cowboys game didn't exactly work. The St. Louis Rams failed to score any offensive points. (Their lone touchdown was on a special teams punt return.)
Do any Buffalo Bills want to guarantee a victory next week? What do these "win guarantees" mean, anyway? Does this mean that Isaac Bruce gets locked up in prison with NY Giants running back Brandon Jacobs?
Meanwhile the "Brady Quinn Curse" continues to work. His college team (Notre Dame) has not won, and the professional team that selected him (Dallas Cowboys) has not lost.
Unbeaten Purdue drops Notre Dame to 0-5
From Wire Reports
September 30, 2007
Notre Dame extended the worst start in school history to five losses in a row yesterday, with Purdue's Curtis Painter throwing two touchdown passes and Chris Summers hitting four field goals in a 33-19 win over the Fighting Irish at West Lafayette, Ind. The Boilermakers (5-0), meanwhile, are off to their best start since 2004.

(01/22/13) - About 150,000 people are expected in Frankenmuth over the next six days to see the annual Zehnder's Snow Fest. Not only is it a boost to the local economy, but it's attracting an international following. With temperatures in the single digits, snow sculptors were staying warm by vigorously working on their entries.
"It's Tarzan fighting a giant crocodile. We always like to do something with action, something that moves. Something that gets people involved," said Alphonso Foster of Flint.
A team from Ohio also has some fantastic ideas for its two blocks of snow.
"It's going to be three frogs. One's playing a flute, one's playing a guitar and one's leaping away because a bass is jumping out of the water," said Sandy Dobbelaere of Oakwood, Ohio.
As usual, there's an international flair to Snow Fest. Teams from Mexico and France are working side by side.
"We are happy to have very cold temperature in Frankenmuth. It's very good news," said Martin Flaux, of the French team.
And it's good news for a team from Mexico and Tennessee.
"The snow's the best it's been in years. It's absolutely perfect. It's nice, it's soft to work with," said Michael Klamann of Nashville, Tennessee.
This is the largest number of sculpting entries in the 22 years of Snow Fest.
"In fact, in the Michigan competition, for the first time in Snow Fest history we had to turn some teams away. We had over 26 entries for 18 spots," said John Shelton, of Zehnder's Snow Fest.
Snow Fest starts Wednesday, Jan. 23 and huge crowds are expected.
"With Saturday always being the biggest day, due to the fireworks, we expect anywhere from 75 to 80,000 people just on Saturday," Shelton said.

Fifty Families Make a Difference
Fruita, CO – May 13, 2010 – Family Health West invites you to join Fifty
Families! By joining this special group, your family helps ensure that Family
Health West continues to provide the best in health care services for the
communities it serves.
"Unlike many hospitals across the nation, Family Health West does not have a foundation or a particular committee that raises money for the organization on a consistent basis," said Angelina Salazar, Family Health West Director of Community Relations, "The idea behind this special group is to engage with supporters who believe in our mission beyond words of gratitude. The purpose is to invite families to learn more from our experts and to experience different aspects of the organization. Above all, Family Health West wants to reach out to your entire family ensuring that future generations understand and value the importance of our work and know that we will be there for them and their families."
Fifty Families members will be honored at the first annual "Family Health West Dirt Dance" to be held October 15th at the Fruita Civic Center Park, receive a commemorative brick in the new hospital's Pathway to Health and be recognized at the Red Baron Ball, which is held every April. In addition, all Fifty Families will receive a monthly Fifty Families Matter Newsletter with health education for the entire family, updates on the organization, local health-related event information, and shared updates submitted by the families themselves.
Current families include the following: The Bapst Family, The Endres Family, The Ficklin Family, The Francis Family, The Hatch Family, The Henderson Family, The Lewis Family, The McNamara Family, The Moss Family, The Motz Family, The Orr Family and the Poovey Family.
"It's not typical for a family to engage with a hospital unless their loved one is sick or injured," said Fifty Families member, Dr. K.C. Lewis of Western Rockies Interventional Pain Specialists in Fruita, "This is an opportunity for families to utilize the expertise of Family Health West for overall better health as well as support them to ensure that they are there to provide the care we depend on."
Family Health West encourages the community to visit the website to learn more, "Even if your family is not able to join Fifty Families, we want you to visit the website, call or stop by one of our facilities to learn more about how to lead healthier lives. Family Health West belongs to the community and we are committed to fostering well being for those who live, work and play here," added Salazar.

Kazakhstan suspends oil project
The Associated Press reports that Kazakh officials have ordered operations at the country''s largest oil development suspended and the Finance Ministry announced a criminal investigation, news reports said, signaling growing unhappiness with delays at the project led by Italian oil giant Eni SpA. The move against the developer of the Kashagan field comes after months of warnings by Kazakh officials against the Eni-led consortium, which also includes Total SA, Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell PLC and other companies. The government has been unhappy with the consortium since it announced earlier this year that the start of production at the northern Caspian Sea field had been pushed back from 2008 until 2010. The consortium also said project''s costs would more than double to US$136 billion (euro100 billion). The delays are troubling to Kazakhstan because it pushes back the date when the government can expect revenues from the project.

It's been an interesting day for college football fans as we learned about USC axing Lane Kiffin. I fell asleep on the couch at 1:30 am while ASU was crushing USC, woke up a few minutes later and had two thoughts: time to go to bed and Kiffin's in trouble. My kids woke me up around 8:00 around the time Kiffin's firing was announced. Text messages started flowing in from my dad, my brother-in-law and a few friends.
I've had a number of thoughts in my head on this subject. I was at our game in Knoxville when Kiffin was there and a couple of locals were genuinely excited about bringing in Kiffin and him taking over for Phil Fulmer. I thought of those folks month later when Kiffin left Knoxville and despicably arranged to take some of his players with him. When the firing was announced today, I thought of those folks in Knoxville again. I hope they were smiling a little (or a lot).
But the big thought that really occupied my mind was that I am so glad that we have Coach Mora. Right now, there isn't a big enough sample size to determine if he'll bring us up to maintained excellence. But I think we can affirm that with Coach Mora, we have a coach that genuinely cares about his players, cares about the program that he gets to lead right now. Mora brings a fire to see his players improve and to drive them to excellence. You know he wants the win, but I really think he enjoys the development that his players go through in his program.
There have been other instances in the past (notably for me, Mora going on Twitter to defend a player), but the way that Mora handled the tragedy of Nick Pasquale's death really showed me that Mora is truly invested in his job. Many of us teared up in his post-game interview on the field when we saw his passion and love for one of his walk-ons who was taken way too early. I am going to bet that we will lose some games with Mora at the helm, but I don't think he'll ever screw our program and become a national laughingstock like Kiffin did at USC. I think there's too much personal investment on Mora's part in our beloved Bruins to ever let anything like that happen.
So we'll watch USC flail around this season; it's going to get ugly. Who knows if Kiffin will find a new job, but his name is sullied and should be kryptonite for any program that doesn't want to tank. USC may find a homerun hire to replace Kiffin, but I'm proud that we have Mora. Just like he wouldn't trade his players for anyone else, I wouldn't have anyone else running our program right now.

This post loosely continues on pilight's FanPost on why men watch sports, at least in the fact that I'm asking an open ended question.
So, the WNBA gets negative stereotypes and jokes about the play of the league and its players. Sure, much of this vitriol comes from the general public including those who don't even watch, but I would have to say that most of the negative comments on the WNBA are said by NBA fans. Here is a picture of Washington Wizards forward Trevor Booker who attended a game between the Washington Mystics and the Indiana Fever, and here is another picture of Washington Wizards
cheerleader , I mean franchise star John Wall and many of the comments aren't positive about the Mystics when such a comment is made.
Whenever an NBA player comes to a WNBA game, often times to support a friend (Wall is friends with rookie forward Victoria Dunlap since she's also from Kentucky), if that player is called out by the PA Announcer, I see that the fans usually give a lukewarm response. Some guys like me will stand up and cheer because he's there, but most of the fans will look at me like I'm an idiot. However, if a women's basketball legend of some sort is there, such as let's say, former Mystics player Vicky Bullett or former UMD basketball head coach Chris Weller, they're given hero's welcomes like whenever Capitals Czar Alex Ovechkin catches a Wizards game. One time or another I had to think a second or two before I realized who it was.
I know a number of people at Mystics games who love NBA basketball, if not the Washington Wizards at least, but there are also plenty of fans who I know who don't care for the league, not too far off from the way NBA fans don't care about the WNBA. I can think of two big reasons why:
1. NBA basketball appears to glorify highlight plays over good basketball, and WNBA fans want to see good basketball over "highlights."
Well, every league has highlight plays, and those plays can become iconic, like Mike's legal crab dribble and dunk over Patrick Ewing, Dr. J's crazy layup in the Finals against the Lakers, and for Wizards fans, Gilbert Arenas' buzzer beating threes. Basketball is a sport that can showcase the talents of some great athletes, and the casual fan at least wants to see those great athletes utilize those talents.
The WNBA has its own share of highlights besides the Sparks dunks, such as Weatherspoon's full court buzzer beater in the Finals, and Sue Bird's game winners in back to back playoff games last year among others. One thing a number of Mystics fans have told me is that WNBA basketball is "more fundamental", or played the way basketball is supposed to be played, and that the NBA isn't doing that as much. I can certainly tell you that NBA fans don't just want to see highlights and players going for those type of plays.
2. "Returning the Favor" to NBA fans who don't like the WNBA.
What this means is that WNBA fans strike back at the NBA and often throw back stereotypes as well. These include some fans maybe saying that NBA players are too ghetto, too macho, and too narcissistic which are all things that the NBA faces. Also, as I mentioned above, WNBA fans not cheering for an NBA player who's in attendance is also a way for them to strike back at the NBA fans, in particular for the notable stars in the city, like John Wall. Not cheering Booker or Hamady N'Diaye is understandable since they're bench guys. After all, if a WNBA player was at an NBA game and got called out by the PA Announcer, she will probably get a lukewarm response as well even if it was Diana Taurasi at Suns game or Cappie Pondexter at a Knicks game.
I personally don't like to see that whenever a star NBA player comes to a game and is recognized, in particular if the city has a team in both leagues. Whenever a celebrity is recognized, there are usually cheers, and in the WNBA, it could definitely use as much attendance support as it can get, and I'm sure almost all the DC area sports fans know who John Wall is. Sorry for the homer-ism.
So that's what's on my chest. How do you compare your love for the WNBA against the NBA. And if you don't like the NBA, well, why?

Derrick Gordon and the University of Massachusetts host Miami (Ohio) at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Mullins Center in Amherst.
AMHERST — With nonconference play ending and teams having enough video to know what to expect from each opponent, University of Massachusetts point guard Chaz Williams said the season is entering the next phase.
"I call this the season of the counters. You have to be able to counter everything," Williams said. "Everyone has a lot of game film on you now. You have to be ready to counter or make adjustments as far as your game plan."
As he got set to face Miami (Ohio) at 7 p.m., Saturday, at the Mullins Center, UMass coach Derek Kellogg focused on getting his own team better with Atlantic 10 play beginning next week.
"We've prepared for that for a while. With so many tapes available at some point it becomes a test of wills," he said. "Will you do what you do better than they can stop it? That's why it was important this week to get better at our own stuff. We've used this week to really worry about UMass. We've tried to get better on our full-court defense. We've tried to get better at sharing the ball better. We need to shoot the ball better and make free throws. We've done a lot of shooting and we're going to continue to do that in practice."
As they have all year, most of the No. 23-ranked Minutemen's opponents will be setting their game plans on Williams, who is looking forward to the challenge.
"It's another time for me to elevate my game to another level," Williams said.
The Minutemen are trying to elevate their play back to the level it was at for most of the season after consecutive inconsistent offensive performances against Florida State and Providence.
"We're just trying to get back to playing UMass basketball," Williams said. "We're just trying to get better and work hard."
Miami (4-6) arrives in Amherst on a rare two-game winning streak. The RedHawks opened the season 0-4 with the first three of those double-digit defeats to Notre Dame, Arizona and Xavier. The fourth came to Division III Wilmington College. Since then, Miami has gone 4-2 beating Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne, Wright State, Tennessee State and Southern Illinois, while losing to Missouri-Kansas City and Evansville. Miami's been outscored by an average of 7.6 points per game and have more turnovers (140) than assists (120).
There has been roster turnover since the semester break. Sophomore guard Reggie Johnson, who was averaging 11.8 points and 2.1 assists per game, announced that he's transferring. Oregon transfer Willie Moore stepped in for him and scored 14 points in his debut against SIU. Senior forward Will Felder leads Miami with 13.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
The RedHawks are trying to win their three straight for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
UMASS VS. MAC — The Minutemen are trying to sweep their four contractually required games against Mid-American Conference foes for the second straight season. UMass is required to play the MAC as part of the school's agreement to join the conference for football. The Minutemen beat Eastern Michigan, Ohio and Northern Illinois earlier this season.
NOTES — Williams needs 12 points to pass former teammate Anthony Gurley (1,331) and move into 16th place on UMass' career scoring list. Cady Lalanne needs one blocked shot to become the 12th Minuteman player with 100 in his career.
Many former players, coaches and staff were mourning the death of Pamela J. (Sadowski) Sampson, a 32-year-old Hadley native who was a team manager in the early 2000s. She died unexpectedly Monday. Calling hours will be Sunday from 2-5 p.m. at the Douglass Funeral Service in Amherst.

Rex Hospital reported about two dozen people came to urgent
care facilities in Wake County Wednesday with weather related injuries.
Alan Wolfe with Rex said most of the injuries were sustained
from slipping on ice. Patients were treated for back injuries, bruised hips,
sprained and fractured ankles, according to Wolfe.
About a dozen patients came to the main emergency department
at Rex on Blue Ridge Road in Raleigh, Wolfe said. Only a few of those were a
result of traffic collisions.
Wolfe said five patients visited the main emergency

After following 2,000 men, researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center have found that fish oil supplements might not be as safe as once thought.
The research was done on men all over the age of 50 and proved findings from an earlier study. According to both studies, fish oil supplements are linked to a 71% increase in risk of a deadly form of prostate cancer.
"We were very surprised by these findings and the reason is because inflammation we know is associated with the development of prostate cancer and we also know that omega 3 fatty acids decrease inflammation. So this was an association but in the opposite direction of what we expected," says Dr. Alan Kristal with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
According to experts, more research is needed before men should change their supplement intake. Cardiologists add that if you don't feel comfortable taking fish oil supplements, three servings of oily fish a week is enough.

Born: October 31, 1954
Self taught by ear on an old Stella flat top during a bout of encephalitis that kept him out of school for a year. He taught himself to play the music he heard around him: traditional country blues and the gospel his grandmother played on piano in a small church in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
At age 14, Tim was nominated by a musically astute uncle for a scholarship at the prestigious North Carolina School of the Arts. There he studied the classics with Segovia protege Jesus Silva while continuing to play all kinds of music, increasingly turning to classic jazz for inspiration. He adapted compositions by Jelly Roll Morton, Scott Joplin, and Fats Waller to the guitar, frequently reducing piano arrangements to their essence. Early influences were Doc Watson, Arthur Smith, and most importantly Duck Baker, who opened up a horizon of possibilities for fingerstyle guitar....

|HMH rehabilitation services offers new program for dizziness
Harrison Memorial Hospital (HMH) announces a new service for individuals who experience dizziness or balance disorder. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an exercise-based program designed to promote central nervous system compensation for inner ear deficits. The therapy program will treat patients suffering from imbalance issues such as positional vertigo and Meniere's disease.
"Patients come to me all the time with a spinning sensation in their head, having trouble maintaining their balance or just vague symptoms of disequilibrium," said Dr. Dan Mongiardo, HMH ear, nose and throat physician. "The first thing I do is diagnose what's causing the symptoms, whether it is diabetes, inner ear issues or even a cardiac or neurological issue. Then, we can begin to treat that patient properly."

that is nice bonus change
opponent watch
Opponent Watch: Week 0
Hello! We haven't spoken for a while. How are you? I am fine.
Once again this year, we will take a weekly guided journey through the inner workings of Michigan's schedule. It's like "It's a Small World," but where making fun of the various characters doesn't seem quite as ethnocentric or jingoist.
About Last Year:
The Road Ahead:
Appalachian State (0-0, 0-0 Sun Belt)
Last year: 4-8 (4-4 Southern), no bowl game because FCS. And because record.
Recap: App State is far removed from the team that won several FCS championships and did… that. They lost their only FBS matchup to Georgia 45-6, and that was in November after Georgia's entire roster tore, sprained, and/or broke its everything. Jerry Moore is gone, as is Armanti Edwards. I think. This is not the ideal time to try to move up to whatever we're calling the FBS now. Can we call it Division 1A again? Please?
Anywho, App State doesn't figure to be much better this year.
This team is as frightening as: The glass floor of the Sears Tower Skydeck. Sure, there's almost no chance you'll fall through. We live in a society based around certain principles that make it almost impossible to find yourself in a position where you could fall through. Objectively, you know this. But what if. Fear Level = 1. But also 11.
Michigan should worry about: What if.
Michigan can sleep soundly about: Oh my god, what if. Shut up shut up shut up. Everyone SHUT UP. I'm trying to think here. I just need to get closer to the ground. I'm way too high. This isn't safe. I need to lie down. Shut up. Shut up.
Shut up.
When they play Michigan: WHY IS IT SO LOUD IN HERE.
First game: At Michigan. Because that was an idea someone had. And someone else said "that idea is a good idea." And they got a group of people together, and that group concluded that it was a good idea. And they made it happen. On purpose.
[AFTER THE JUMP: The opponents get better and less memory-stabby]
Hoops Opponent Watch: Primer
Yea, and God did say unto his people, "hot damn, I'm glad it's basketball season, for verily, football season sucked."
~ First Letter of St. Paul to the Annarborites
With the dong-punching albatross of 2013 behind us, we can move fully into winter sports season with vigor and aplomb. But without Mitch McGary. Worst. Trip. Around. The. Sun. EVER.
Every week we'll keep tabs on Michigan's non-conference opponents, the state of the Big Ten, the potential NCAA Tournament draw, and the suggested viewing /rooting guide for the upcoming week.
Non-Conference Opponents
RPI Effect Only Teams:
It's becoming clear that Michigan's non-conference schedule was assembled by people who either don't know how RPI works,* don't know how math works, or aren't sold on this whole "Arabic numerals are the wave of the future" thing. Three of Michigan's opponents, UMass-Lowell (1-11), South Carolina State (4-8) and Houston Baptist (3-9) are below the 300 mark to KenPom, and Coppin State (4-9) fails to crack the super-elite group in the Top 270. Ben Folds Five wrote a song about these teams. Hint: it is not "The Luckiest."
|RPI: drowning slowly.
Outside of these masonry-like objects, Michigan played three of the ideal good-enough-to-not-kill-your-RPI-numbers-but-not-good-enough-to-beat-you-unless-LeVert,-Stauskas,-and-McGary-all-miss-significant-time type teams. Long Beach State (4-9) has won three in a row, including wins over Nevada and USC, and gave VCU and NC State some real competition. Holy Cross (6-6) hasn't really beaten anyone, but they have beaten six non-anyones, so that's something. Charlotte (8-4) has wins over Michigan and Kansas State, presumably because they were mad about not being invited to the BWW Bowl.
Big Sorts of Teams
Iowa State (12-0)
Significant Wins: Michigan, Iowa, @ BYU, Boise St.
Losses: [404 file not found]
The Cyclones weren't ranked when Michigan played them, but they definitely are now. Forwards Melvin Ejim and Georges Niang are both shooting around 50% from the field, with Ejim nearly averaging a double-double (18.0 ppg and 8.8 rpg). One caveat is that they have only played one game away from
Iowa City Des Moines Corn Rapids Ames, that being a 2 point win over BYU.
Florida State (9-3)
Significant Wins: VCU, UMass
Losses: Michigan (waives tiny flag), @ Florida, @ Minnesota
How important does that crazy-ass Michigan comeback in Puerto Rico feel now? At the time it was an amusing, "oh that's a nifty little win," but in hindsight it is a "THANK YOU BASED GOD" non-conference salvager.
Florida State could easily be 10-1 right now. They blew a 16 point lead against Michigan (including an 8 point lead and possession with 3 minutes left), and lost to Florida by 1 on a last-second offensive rebound despite outshooting and generally outplaying the Gators. Still, they look to be in that second tier of the ACC behind Pitt, Syracuse, and Duke, and MAYBE UNC. They are far from the most skilled team in the country, but will pose some significant matchup problems for a number of teams, given their overall largeness/tallness and tendency to be freeking huge. As Michigan's best NonCon win, you will want to cheer hard for the Seminoles.
Dook (11-2)
Significant Wins: Michigan, UCLA
Losses: Kansas, Arizona
From the makers of Jadeveon Clowney comes: Jabari Parker!!! Now with kung-fu crossover and Dick Vitale utility belt!!! Duke's true freshman guard/wing/forward/goalie/ambassador/imperial wizard has been exactly as advertised, looking like the most college-ready of the mega-frosh. He's averaging 22 and 8, and has scored 19+ points in every game but one this season. Guess which one.*
|Duke is really missing the Yellow Plumlee
The weird thing is, we really don't know that much about Duke. They lost to the two elite teams they played, beat Michigan (at home) and UCLA (at MSG), and beyond that have dispatched a large pile of unconvincing opponents by occasionally unconvincing margins. They beat Vermont by 1 point, ECU by 9, and Alabama by 10. Maybe it's the fact that they are down to three Plumlees on the roster, which isn't enough to form up the Megazord. They have played great offense and middling defense, and are probably among the favorites in the ACC once Parker settles in (/shudder).
*to those who accused GRIII of not being "into" that game, I suggest you try to stand between a bull mastiff and a squirrel for 40 minutes and tell me how it goes for you.
Arizona (13-0)
Significant Wins: San Diego St, Duke, @ Michigan
Losses: [Should have lost to Michigan but KenPom lied to all of us]
They're okay, I guess. Arizona is deservingly number one in the polls, based on how the polls work, and are definitely among the elite teams, but… eh? Purported super-frosh Aaron Gordon has had a whelming start; according to people who watch last night basketball regularly, he's playing great defense and flashing hilarious athleticism, but isn't consistent or diverse on the offensive end of the court. Arizona continues to look to Nick Johnson as their primary scoring option, and he's dropping about 16 ppg. They're clearly the class of a middle-heavy PAC 12.
Stanford (9-3)
Significant Wins: @ UConn
Losses: BYU, Pitt, Michigan (/blasts Katy Perry, waives crap out of tiny flag)
Stanford isn't all that good. But they are okay. And Michigan beat them. So we will continue to treat them as if they are good. We call this the Akron Delusion.
Pay no attention to the fact that Stanford's only remotely impressive win was a grinding, brick-laden slugfest over a UConn team that decided to play the entire second half in the style of breakdance-fighting. Seriously: Stanford was down by 10 at the half, scored 25 points in the second half, and won. That's a crime against ManBearPig.
[After the jump: objects ahead, and the return of THING THEY ARE LIKE]
Opponent Watch: Big Ten Bowl Edition
The regular season is behind us, and as such there isn't much to watch in terms of opponents. So for now, we have a brief primer on the Big Ten bowl season. I'm sure the Copper Bowl will be covered in great detail by people who know more about such things.
Rose Bowl: #5 Michigan State vs. #4 Stanford
Michigan State is the outright, undisputed, no takesies-backsies Big Ten Champion. They went undefeated in conference and rolled over Ohio State in the conference championship game. There was much celebration, which would have been a The-Who's-on-Christmas-Morning arm-in-arm singing if it weren't for this guy informing everyone that couches were flammable. Way to ruin it for everyone, guy.
Stanford, meanwhile, had as many impressive victories as anyone in the country. They took down Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, Washington, Washington State, Notre Dame, and Arizona State twice. But they also lost to USC (post Kiffin) and… Utah. Utah finished 2-7 in the PAC 12, with their only other win coming against Colorado. If they don't lose that game, are they playing Florida State in the title game?
One nice thing for traditionalists is that the Rose Bowl (the most expensive ticket of the season, by the way) will actually feature the Big Ten Champion and the PAC 12 Champion, which has happened only 5 of the previous 12 seasons. And as the playoff system picks up steam, this might be the last of its kind.
When the MSU has the ball:
|Points Per Game
|PPG Against
|Yards Per Game
|YPG Against
|Offensive FEI
|Defensive FEI
Given the level of competition Stanford has faced, their defense has been downright stifling. They held Oregon to 20 (after shutting them out through three quarters), UCLA to 10, and Arizona State to 14 in the conference title game. Stanford runs a 3-4, but often puts a fourth hand in the dirt in the person of world-destroying Trent Murphy (14 sacks, 21.5 TFL). Murphy will be a real test for Sparty's tackles, who haven't been as consistent as the interior guys.
Michigan State, meanwhile, didn't decide it needed to score offensive points until October, at which point they became decent but not good enough to save their advanced stats for the year. Nevertheless, they made huge strides as the year went on, especially on the offensive line. We have discussed this. It made you anger vomit, remember?
When the Stanford has the ball:
|PPG Against
|Points Per Game
|YPG Against
|Yards Per Game
|Defensive FEI
|Offensive FEI
Sweet mercy this is going to be violent. Stanford plays the downhilliest of downhill football. Look at the offensive line splits here:
There is very little confusion about what the Cardinal is going to try to do. This is Brady Hoke's vision for a utopian society, the difference being that Stanford has the horses to run it (Josh Garnett reference. Drink). And you all know how Michigan State's defense rolls. They've shown a little vulnerability (relatively speaking, of course) to power running schemes, but with their ability to leave their corners on an island, this is going to be 8 or 9 men colliding with 8 or 9 men all damn day.
So? It'll be interesting to see how Michigan State reacts to their new defensive staff given Pat Narduzzi's TOTALLY IMMINENT departure. Probably about as poor as can be expected, which is to say they will only hit Devin Gardner 8 or 9 times. Stanford 7, Michigan State 6
Opponent Watch: Hindsight Edition
Central Michigan (6-6, 5-3 MAC)
Since we last spoke: Central Michigan 37, UMass 0; Central Michigan 42, Eastern 10
Pre-season Fear Level: None.
Hindsight Fear Level: 2
Best Win: Ohio (26-23)
Worst Loss: UNLV (31-21)
Season Recap: Central was not a good football team this year, but damned if they didn't get to 6 wins and bowl eligibility somehow. They won 5 of their last 7 games, but their opponents in those games were a combined 11-49. Their most impressive win over Ohio (YTO). They finished 110th out of 125 teams in FEI.
Bowls. There are too many of them.
The Michigan game in hindsight: Ah, when things were fun and the offense worked and hope was a thing.
Notre Dame (8-4)
Hope sprung eternal.
Since we last spoke: Notre Dame 23, BYU 13; Stanford 27, Notre Dame 20
Pre-season Fear Level: 7.5
Hindsight Fear Level: 7
Best Win: Arizona St (37-34)
Worst Loss: Pitt (28-21)
Season Recap: Notre Dame made a strong bid for ChaosTeam '13, beating some impressive opponents (Arizona State, Michigan State, Kiffin-exorcised USC) while losing to Michigan and Pitt and ALMOST losing to Purdue. Much-maligned quarterback Tommy Rees finished just south of 3,000 yards and 27 TDs against only 13 interceptions, but completed only 53% of his passes. TJ Jones and Davaris Daniels formed a solid 1-2 punch in the receiving corp, and Cam McDaniel led a running-back-by-committee that put up 5.2 yards per carry. You just found yourself jealous of Notre Dame, didn't you? That's a bad feeling. Don't do that again. Here. This will help.
This. Always this.
Coming into the year, we expected the defense to carry a somewhat mediocre offense. Instead, the defense may have actually been the weaker unit. The offense put up 27 points and almost 400 yards per game, and scored 20 or more points in every game other than USC (when Tommy Rees was hurt) and Michigan State (when obviously). The back seven of the defense, however, never really gelled, and they finished as a middle-of-the-pack team in most advanced stats (30th in defensive FEI, 51st in Def SP+).
The Michigan game in hindsight: Once again, Notre Dame played Lucy to Michigan's Charlie Brown. DAMNIT NOTRE DAME STOP GIVING US FALSE HOPE EVERY YEAR.
[after the jump: everyone else is better than you think except Michigan and the teams who beat them]
Opponent Watch: Week 12
About last week:
It's not your fault. Well, actually it might be partly your fault
Upcoming Opponents:
Iowa (6-4, 3-3 B1G)
Last Game: BYE
Recap: BYE means they didn't play football. So there isn't much to recap. Instead, we can talk about Iowa basketball. The Hawkeyes are #25 in the Coaches Poll, and the first team out of the AP Poll. They haven't exactly played a brutal schedule (UNC-Wilmington, Nebraska-Omaha, Maryland-Eastern Shore, and Abiline Christian), but they are 4-0. Aaron White is scoring 15.3 ppg on 71% shooting and grabbing 7.8 rpg, and Roy Devyn-Marble is averaging 15 per game with a 4/1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Oh crap, it's still football season, isn't it?
/deep, resigned sigh
It's hard to know what to make of Iowa based on a meta-review of their season. They have some solid performances, and a couple of clunkers. They played Ohio State even through three quarters, but struggled to put away Missouri State. They played one solid half against Sparty, and one ugly half against Sparty. They turned in a decent but ultimately doomed performance against Wisconsin (think MInnesota's game against Michigan; low variance, but opponent's rock > their rock). They beat Minnesota soundly, but went to overtime with Northwestern in the midst of Pat Fitzgerald's neverending tumble into pouting insanity. All in all, their record is probably a fair representation of who they are: 6-4, 3-3 in conference. Solid team, hardly a world-beater. They are #39 in FEI, just behind Michigan's #35.
Everything about this team is generic but pretty okay; Jake Rudock is completing almost exactly 60% of his passes for just under 7 YPA. They average a solid but unspectacular 4.5 YPC. They have scored 125 points in conference play and have surrendered 119 points. They are average. The problem, of course, is that right now Michigan is trying to find average, and no one really knows where they are in that search at any given moment.
The good news is that Iowa doesn't do any of the stuff that should really scare Michigan's defense. They tempo a little bit, but they don't TEMPO tempo, ya know (shut up, Hypothetical Straw Man Iowa Fan… going no-huddle and snapping the ball with 6 seconds on the play clock doesn't count as "tempo"). They don't spread the field very much; they're lining up more spread out these days, but the offense remains largely the same as in the past. They rely on running between the tackles and setting up screens and draws. They ain't Indiana. The BAD news is that Iowa's run defense remains good enough that Michigan will probably be staring at 2nd and 9-to-12 all day. This is going to be so much fun to watch. Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.
This team is as frightening as: A giant noodle wearing an alternate jersey.
Fear Level = 7
Michigan should worry about: Those Iowa Tight Ends. We all know the history of the blitheringly open seam routes of recent Iowa games, and I worry about Joe Bolden's pass drops and his ability to carry Jake Duzey or C.J.
Fiedorewitz Fadorawicz Fodoravitz the older guy down the seam.
Michigan can sleep soundly about: Statistically speaking, it is unlikely that we will have to watch THIS unwatchable game for nearly as long as we had to watch LAST week's unwatchable game.
When they play Michigan: Proper eye protection is a must.
Next game: vs. Michigan
[AFTER THE JUMP: Like it matters]
Opponent Watch: Week 11
About last week:
I know I don't normally opine on such things. I know I'm usually the snark guy. I just want to speak my piece, and I'll return to character.
There is a legal concept called res ipsa loquitur, which is Latin for "the thing itself speaks." The idea is that usually when you sue someone, you have to explain what the person did wrong. But there are some times when the thing that happens is so obviously wrong that the blame speaks for itself. If you take your car in for an oil change, and while it's there the car gets pregnant, you don't have to know WHAT the mechanic did wrong to know that he screwed something up.
I've got a dozen specific complaints about the game plan, personnel use, and play calling from Saturday, but I don't need them. Rushing for negative yardage against this defense speaks for itself. This was probably the worst statistical game from the running back position in the history of Michigan football, and came against a team that EVERY OTHER TEAM has found a way to bludgeon on the ground. Does it matter any more whether the problem is one of scheme, specific playcalling, predictability, player prep, or the general bloodymindedness of the universe? Anyone who takes the players available, along with the information available, and produces *THAT* has failed in some fundamental aspect of his job. The details are of secondary concern. Can ANYONE come up with a theory by which the team that entered fall camp could end up where it is without massive, widespread failures by the individuals responsible for crafting an offense? I'm really asking.
Okay, I'm done. On with the snark.
Upcoming Opponents:
Line of Scrimmage (3-1259, 2-688 B1G)
Last game: Defeated Michigan by 21 yards.
Recap: Two weeks ago, the Line of Scrimmage put up its first B1G conference win. One week later, it scored its first ever home victory. As a result, this week it is riding its first ever winning streak. It's a good time to be that thin blue line.
The final margin (48 yards) was larger two weeks ago in East Lansing, but last week's win was far more unlikely and impressive. Saddled with a Nebraska's defense that was giving up about 200 yards per game on the ground, most expected the imaginary transverse line separating the offense from the defense to be an afterthought. Instead, it stood tall.
The LOS got the goose-egg off its back in 2003, when Oregon held Michigan to -3 yards rushing at Autzen Stadium in Eugene.
This team is as frightening as: Don't let that .002% all-time winning percentage fool you. This is a shortest-distance-between-two-points on the rise. Fear level = 8
Michigan should worry about: The LOS's winning streak has been keyed by sacks. Without them, Forward Motion would have squeaked by with narrow wins the last two weeks.
Michigan can sleep soundly about: The LOS is an imaginary line, and therefore has no physical ability to affect the world around it.
When they play Michigan: Watch for the LOS to implement a new non-Euclidian approach, permitting it to attack the running game in multiple directions.
Next game: vs. Poor Damn FitzDevin Gardnerssaint

text: I have some major concerns about our head coach, I have bit my tongue in the past with his inconsistency and strange rotations because we were either expected to be terrible, so loses were no surprise or we were dealing with injury. However this little funk we are in shows the problems he poses for our team. First off his constant threat of adjusting the rotation causes confusion and tentative play by his bench. No one really knows what is expected from them aside from B. Roy, Blake and Joel. This is a major problem for me, the coach is there to provide confidence by putting each player in their role and helping them make the adjustments to succeed at it. I also hate his rotations, he plays certain players far too much, like his man love for Outlaw, and other players he continues to hold back despite their obvious improved play(Joel and Sergio). I think it is time to aquire a coach who could actually lead us to a championship. You look at Phil Jackson and he has so much confidence in his players he does not even call a time out when they struggle. You look at his players and they understand their roles and embrace them, even Lamar Odom who is an extremely talented player has flourished coming off the bench this year because Phil has stood firm despite his complaints and kept his steady rotation. Then you get to his offensive schemes, they are very easy to read and easily becomes stagnant. We rely on 1 on 1 offense instead of utilitizing the vast talent we have. Everyone talks about the amount of talent we have and yet the ball does not move. We also depend on jumpshots and threes to score, this is a losing formula, and surprise, surprise the same offense was used in Seattle. He is not adjusting for his personnel, he still runs the same offense. Personally I have had enought of coach Nate blaming his players for his poor schemes.

By Emil W. Ciurczak
Trade show consolidation can be a good thing, at least when it gives smaller innovator companies room to grow.
While watching recent NOVA episodes on PBS, I found myself cheering about the recovery of forests around Mt. Saint Helens following its massive eruption, and about how sustainable teak cutting was allowing rainforest growth to continue without destroying surrounding trees. It's no surprise that these vignettes tickled my scientific interest. After all, I was an Eagle Scout, and I did teach environmental science.
However, they also reminded me of changes that have taken place at Pittcon, the nation's largest analytical equipment exposition and conference. The form of this year's show was notably different. There were wider pedestrian walkways, one large area in the center of the floor for posters and another for "resting" with chairs, tables, and snack centers. The numbering of aisles also started at "700," not "100," perhaps to make the number of aisles seem greater than actually existed.

Dwight Howard intimated that if the Magic don't win a title next year, "then things have to change." The Magic have as good a shot at the title next year as LeBron James does to not put his foot in his mouth ever again, so it seems like things are going to have to change.
Hop, skip, and jump.
Obviously, Chris Paul is already on our radar, with the most likely route to acquiring him being through a trade, though he could also be signed as a free agent. On the other hand, Howard seems intent on sticking it out for another year with Orlando, and therefore it might be easier to sign him rather than trade for him. It stands to reason that it makes more sense to simply sign Howard as we would be able to keep more assets, but as aforementioned, that's an option with Paul as well. The advantage to trading for Paul or Howard rather than waiting for free agency is the certainty that comes with it; rumors constantly swirl that Howard might prefer the Lakers or Nets to the Knicks (I've also seen a few "Heat should trade LeBron for Dwight" stories today, but whatever). As you can see, that applies more to Howard than Paul, however, as Paul has been almost exclusively linked to the Knicks.
Whenever a trade for Dwight Howard is discussed, the name of our beloved Amare Stoudemire comes up as a possible trade chip. I, for one, have no interest in trading STAT for Dwight. I know that it might be necessary to use him as a chip, but I feel personally indebted to STAT for pulling the Knicks out of the depths of hell and can't bring myself to support stabbing him in the back (side note: Orlando is the one place I could be convinced to send him to, since he grew up there; I'm still against it though). The only positive in trading STAT for Howard and acquiring Paul is the uniqueness of our Big 3: Anthony, Howard, and Paul are all first names as well as last names! James is alone in that regard, as is Ray Allen. I guess you could name your son Pierce or Wade, but they're not horribly common, especially Wade. Still, no one's naming their children Bosh or Garnett. That would be silly. But I digress.
This has gotten completely off topic. Just vote in the poll and comment.
P.S.: I didn't include sign both or trade for both, because those aren't feasible options. Also, I didn't include building the team around just Melo and Amare because I didn't feel it was relevant to the post. I'm not saying it isn't an option, just that it's not necessary in this poll.

A group of South Bend citizens concerned about gun sales at a local store went to the Common Council, and now say they are seeing results.
The group said that the Wal-Mart on West Ireland was selling "tactical" shotguns. They also complained about how ammunition was being stored for sale.
The council got involved, and Wal-Mart has now agreed to remove all guns marketed as tactical. In addition, all guns and ammunition except shotgun shells will be locked in display cases.
"I think we can rest assured that the citizens of South Bend are safer today because of the proactive measures that were taken, not only by the citizens of South Bend, but also by the city council," said the Common Council's Attorney, Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand.
Walmart has also agreed to limit the sales of firearms and ammunition at the Ireland store between the hours of 8:00am and 9:00pm.

Santa River
The River (Rio) Santa flows south to north through the Callejon de Huaylas valley under the shadow of the Cordillera Negra, and the imposing Cordillera Blanca, the 2nd highest mountain range in the world. Glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca make up around 70% of annual flow in the Rio Santa, and also drain east to contribute to the headwaters of the Amazon.
The long-term future of the Rio Santa and the Ancash region of Peru
Recent work by the National Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Peru (SENAMHI), the Development Research Institute, and the Glaciology Unit of the National Water Authority, highlights that flows from glaciers in the region will increase over the next 25 to 40 years as they melt. But this increase in flow will decline from 2050 onwards as the glaciers reduce in size. This could put the Rio Santa and the ecosystem services provided by the river under extreme pressure, especially during the dry season when between 70% to 90% of the river flow is glacier fed.
Capacity development to cope with climate change
The first objective of the project is to work with people to develop a participatory workplan and to try and understand the range of problems in this complex basin. The Huascaran National Park Authority is concerned with poor land use practices, over-grazing and soil degradation, affecting biodiversity, soil slope stability and species. However farmers are mainly concerned with the amount of sediment and the impact on canals and agricultural equipment. Water quality is often mentioned as the common concern amongst stakeholders. Mining activities, dam tailings, agricultural run-off, lack of wastewater treatment and direct solid waste discharge into the Rio Santa make protecting the river a common challenge.
WANI is working in the Rio Santa basin to improve water resource management and the impacts of climate change on river flows. Adaptation to these changes and increasing reliance on the river to provide ecosystem services for economic growth and development are at the forefront of WANI interventions in the basin.

International Classical Guitar Festival
The Wimbledon of classical guitar competitions is coming to the "Live Music Capital of the World!" Music fans won't want to miss out on this weeklong classical guitar festival held in Austin's newest performing arts venue: the Long Center.
As far as classical guitar festivals go, this one's the bee's knees. The Guitar Foundation of America's International Convention and Competition is a serious, though sweetly sounding, endeavor indeed. This year, GFA is partnering with 11 other organizations to bring attendees a week of non-stop music. Headliners include the Austin Symphony Orchestra, the Miro String Quartet (winner of the Avery Fisher grant), the legendary Pepe Romero, the Grammy-winning LA Guitar Quartet, and more. Expect to hear everything from lutes to flamenco music.
The International Guitar Festival isn't just about music, though. There's also the children's show, free Blue Bell ice cream, and the lovely city of Austin all around. Oh, and movies, too! Austin's local movie house, the Alamo Drafthouse, will set up a free late-night screening of "Crossroads," the 1986 Ralph Macchio guitar movie, which will be hosted by Master Pancake Theater – the Drafthouse's signature comedy troupe.
In 2010, the International Classical Guitar Festival will feature over 60 events over the course of 6 days.

Eagles Earn a Split with Long Island
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The FGCU softball team split a double-header with the Blackbirds of Long Island.The Eagles are now 34-8 on the season.
The Eagles lost the first matchup to the Blackbirds by a score of 3-2. The Eagles had an opportunity to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh with one on and two outs, but the FGCU flied out to left field to end the game.
FGCU knocked off Long Island in game two by a score of 5-3. Jessica Paez (Belle Glade, Fla.) finished 2-for-2 with two HR's and three RBI's, Cheyenne Jenks (Naples, Fla.) went 1-for-4 with a homerun one RBI and Carmen Paez (Belle Glade, Fla.) finished 1-for-3 and hit her 17th homerun of the season. In the bottom of the third inning J. Paez, C. Paez and Jenks provided some entertainment for the fans by hitting back-to-back-to-back homeruns.
Dana Frantz (Brighton, Mich.) picked up the win, allowing seven hits and giving up three runs, and Morgan Campen (Rougemont, N.C.) picked up her first save of the season.
The Eagles will be in action Thursday when they host A-Sun foe, Campbell, for a double-header. The first game is set to begin at 5 p.m.
