This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for Domain Vortex, Inc. ("Domain Vortex") and how it treats the information that Domain Vortex collects and receives, including information related to your past use of Domain Vortex products and services. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Domain Vortex does not own or control, or to people that Domain Vortex does not employ or manage.
1. The information collected by Domain Vortex.
2. How information collected by Domain Vortex is used.
3. Communications from Domain Vortex.
4. Underage customers.
5. Linking to third-party websites.
6. Our internal practices.
7. Changes to our privacy policy.
8. Final Statement
1. The information collected by Domain Vortex.
Domain Vortex will not knowingly sell, share, or rent the information collected on this site to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Domain Vortex collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
1.1 Information that is automatically collected.
We use IP addresses, with the help of a business partner, to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to Personally Identifiable Information ("PII"). Personally Identifiable Information refers to information such as an individual's name, mailing address, phone number or email address.
1.2 Information that is collected by cookies.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is not directly linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. By setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that may take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
1.3 Information that is actively submitted to Domain Vortex.
Registration. In order to register a domain name on this website, a user must complete the registration process. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user to fulfill requests for site and service updates and for products and services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique identifiers (such as social security number), but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
Order. We request information from the user on our order form. Here, a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes, with the help of our business partner, and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Newsletter. If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as his or her name and email address.
Surveys & Contests. From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend. If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. Domain Vortex will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Domain Vortex stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact Domain Vortex at
to request the removal of this information from their database.
1.4 Third party advertisers on Domain Vortex's site.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads (using methods that include Pixel Tags and Clear Gifs) when you visit our Web site. Our third-party advertising company also separately places or recognizes a cookie file on your browser in the course of delivering advertisements to this Site. These companies may use information (not including your name, address email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
1.5 Information Domain Vortex obtains from third parties.
Supplemental information collected. In certain circumstances, in order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources. For example, to determine if our customers qualify for a dotPartner open account, we use their name and business information to request a credit report. Once we determine a user's credit-worthiness, this document is destroyed.
Domain Vortex Accounts created by a Third Party on your Behalf. If you received your domain name from someone else, without registering for it yourself, your domain name may belong to a "managed domain." In a managed domain, the administrator of a company with whom you have a business relationship (for example, your ISP) can create your domain name for you. You can then use the domain name like any other domain name. The administrator, however, has access to the domain name and can edit your Domain Vortex profile, reset your password, and manage the Domain Vortex account without your additional consent. In addition to the terms mentioned in this policy, an account created by a Third party allows any of your personally identifiable information within that account to be available to that Third Party as if they were you. We have no access to or control over the third party to prevent their disclosure of your information.
2. How information collected by Domain Vortex is used.
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. The aggregated demographic information is not linked to any personally identifiable information that can identify any individual person.
We use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not use personally identifiable information for any use other than credit card processing; however, we will not be responsible or liable for use of the information required by credit card companies in contravention of their policies, contractual obligations or general good business procedures.
We submit the name, address, and phone number associated with the registrant/administrator/technical/billing contact of a domain name to the appropriate Registry/Central database for the domain name. This information is included in a publicly available 'Whois' database, in accordance with ICANN rules.
In certain circumstances, we partner with third parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for a specific service provided by the third party, we will share names, and other information that is needed for the third party to provide the selected services. We cannot control the use of PII by third parties, but do make reasonable attempts to limit their use of the information to providing a user with the services requested.
Further, we provide personally identifiable information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. Further, we believe it is necessary to share personally identifiable information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Domain Vortex's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
3. Communications from Domain Vortex.
Welcome Emails. We send a welcoming email to the email address associated with the account a user has created to verify the users password and username. This process is designed to prevent e-mail addresses from being used without permission in the creation of a Domain Vortex account. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive some of these types of communications. Please see our opt-out options below.
Site and Service Updates. We send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the site and/or service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information. Users must provide accurate and correct contact information (name, address, phone number) for their domain names Administrative/Technical/Billing contacts, which will be listed in a publicly accessible 'Whois' database, in compliance with ICANN rules. If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as a zip code), or if a user no longer desires Domain Vortex's services, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done under online account management (on your own) or by emailing our Customer Support for assistance.
Opting out. Users are provided an opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to the services they request for order at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists. Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from Domain Vortex and its partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at
4. Underage customers.
The Domain Vortex site is not intended for use by anyone under the age of thirteen (13), and any individual under such age should not provide Domain Vortex with personally identifiable information. Domain Vortex does not knowingly contact, market to, or solicit, collect or use personally identifiable information from or about any individual under the age of thirteen (13). It is possible that by fraud or deception we may receive information pertaining to children under thirteen (13). If we are notified of that Domain Vortex has personal information regarding a person under the age of thirteen (13), as soon as we reasonably verify the information, we will either obtain parental consent or otherwise delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify Domain Vortex of our receipt of information by children under 18, please do so by emailing us at:
5. Linking to third-party websites.
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
6. Our privacy practices.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, the information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing.'
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also take efforts to protect user-information off-line. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. In addition, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
It is your responsibility to ensure the security of your Domain Vortex account password and not to share this information during chats, in postings in newsgroups, or in other public forums. If you choose to reveal or share your password and Domain Vortex account name, Domain Vortex is unable to guarantee the security of your Domain Vortex account.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to
7. Changes to our privacy policy.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post a notice on our Home page so our users can review the changes and be aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under certain circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
8. Final Statement
We at Domain Vortex will use your information in accordance with the privacy policy that is currently in effect.

THIBODAUX – Backup tailback Kelvin Bennett ran for a
career-high 169 yards, 118 of those in the second half alone, and Khalil Thomas
scored on a 94-yard kickoff return on the final play of the third quarter as
4th-ranked McNeese State rolled up 512 yards of offense en route to a 55-30
Southland Conference win over Nicholls here Saturday afternoon.
It's the first time in school history the Cowboys have
scored 50 or more points four times in a season.
The balanced attacked saw McNeese (7-1, 3-0) racked up 313
yards on the ground and 199 yards in the air.
But the big stat came in the special teams area where McNeese got its
first kickoff return for a touchdown since the 2010 season while four of the
six punt returns helped set up good field position that led 24 points. McNeese finished the game with 189 kickoff
return yards (37.8 average) and 41 punt return yards (13.7 average).
"We played really good defensively in the first half,"
said head coach Matt Viator. "We did
some good things on offense too. The
biggest key for us today was we had some good special teams plays. The first touchdown was set up by a punt
return and of course we had the kickoff return for a touchdown."
Marcuse Wiltz followed Bennett in the rushing stats with
98 yards on 14 carries for a 7.0 yards per carry average. Cody Stroud completed 16 of 21 passes for 179
yards and a touchdown while Tyler Bolfing completed both of his passes for 20
"My job was really easy today," said Stroud. "The receivers ran some great routes and made
the grabs. All I had to do was get it to
Stroud's touchdown pass to Diontae Spencer in the first
quarter tied a McNeese record with 13 consecutive games with a touchdown pass.
Nicholls (4-4, 1-2) scored the first points of the game
on an Andrew Dolan 48 yard field goal to give the Colonels a 3-0 lead just
3-and-a-half minutes into the game.
Spencer's 5-yard touchdown grab five minutes later put
the Cowboys up to stay at 7-3 with 6:02 to go in the quarter. That score was set up by his 27-yard punt
return that started the drive at the Nicholls 10-yard line.
After a missed 49-yard field goal attempt by Dolan, Wiltz
helped march the Cowboys 68 yards on 8 plays with 26 yards rushing on three
carries as Dylan Long scored the first of his two touchdowns on a 2-yard run to
give McNeese a 14-3 lead with 1:09 to play in the opening quarter.
On McNeese's next possession following a second straight
Nicholls punt, Long scored his second touchdown on a 4-yard plunge to make it
21-3 early in the second quarter.
Nicholls capitalized on a missed 44-yard field goal by
McNeese's Ryan Rome when Kale Henderson connected with Erik Buchanan on a
42-yard pass-catch score to cut the gap to 21-10 but the Cowboys wasted little
time to strike back as Rome hit from 30 and 43 yards out in the final 4:45 to
send McNeese into the half with a 27-10 lead.
The opening drive of the second half was another
short-distance setup for the Cowboys as Spencer's 45-yard kickoff return set
the Cowboys up at the Nicholls 44. From
there it was the Wiltz show as he carried the ball in five of the six plays on
the drive for 35 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown score to make it 34-10
with 11:59 to go in the third quarter.
Nicholls took advantage of a couple of big offensive
plays with a 54-yard run by Dalton Hilliard and a 21 yard score from Tuskani
Figaro to cut into the lead at 34-17. On
the ensuing possession, Stroud connected with Ernest Celestie for 40 yards followed
by Wiltz runs of 10, 17 and a 5-yard touchdown score to make it 41-17.
The Colonels got another score with two seconds to play
in the third quarter when Henderson found Buchanan from four yards out for the
second time of the game to make it 41-23 after a failed PAT attempt. That was followed by Thomas' 94-yard kickoff
return score – tied as the third longest in school history and the first since
an 87-yard return by Bernardo Henry against Texas State in 2010.
McNeese added its final score following a series that
consisted of five rushes by Bennett with the longest being a 54-yard jolt up
the middle on the series' first play.
Zach Hetrick recovered a Bennett fumble in the endzone at the end of a
17-yard run, as McNeese led 55-23 before Nicholls got one final touchdown on a
5-yard run by Henderson.
The Colonels recorded 396 offensive yards – 239 on the
ground and another 157 passing.
Henderson completed 8 of 20 passes for 136 yards and two scores with an
interception while Figaro went 3 of 12 for 21 yards.
Figaro led the Colonels in rushing with 107 yards on 15
carries with a touchdown.
McNeese will return to Cowboy Stadium next Saturday when
it hosts Southeastern Louisiana at 7 p.m.

Paul and Conway Win Senate Nods in Kentucky
Tuesday, May 18, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Tea Party-supported candidate Rand Paul (R) and state Attorney General Jack Conway captured the major party nominations for retiring Sen. Jim Bunning's (R-Ky.) Kentucky Senate seat.
The Associated Press called both races Tuesday night, though the agency projected Paul's victory much earlier. With nearly 100 percent of precincts reporting at 2:17 a.m. Wednesday, Paul led state Secretary of State Trey Grayson 59-35 percent, while Conway led Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo 44-43 percent.
Conway's win represents a significant change from recent polls, which all showed Mongiardo leading. The most recent poll, from Daily Kos/Research 2000*, showed Mongiardo leading 39-36. It should be noted that this result did show momentum on Conway's side, as Mongiardo had previously led 47-31. All recent polls of the Republican primary showed Paul with a significant lead over Grayson.
Even as both parties' primaries were decided, there was still drama playing out between the Paul and Grayson campaigns. Grayson accused Paul's people of conducting a voter intimidation drive at polling places, citing a Paul campaign document that directed his supporters to witness the vote tallying and make get out the vote calls. At least one arrest occurred in connection with vote buying, as Hazard City police nabbed a local businessman accused of buying a vote for $20. The state's election fraud hot line had received 121 calls as of 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, which included charges of vote buying and selling, many of which involved the GOP primary.
Paul's campaign manager, David Adams, told The Lexington Herald-Leader the charges were "ridiculous" and that the problems were "much ado about nothing."
On the House side, there was no drama whatsoever – all six incumbents went uncontested for re-nomination, as did the challengers in three districts. There are now clear challengers in the other three following Tuesday's vote. Air Force veteran Todd Lally (R) will challenge Rep. John Yarmuth (D), while attorney Andy Barr (R) will take on Rep. Ben Chandler (D). EMS pilot Jim Holbert (D) won his race to challenge Rep. Hal Rogers (R).
Update at 12:55 p.m. May 19: Mongiardo's campaign announced Wednesday that he plans to ask for a recanvass of voting machines and absentee ballots, despite having already conceded the race. Candidates must request a recanvass by the Tuesday after the election — for this election, by May 25. County clerks would conduct the recanvass May 27.
Update at 12:41 a.m. May 20: Mongiardo decided not to ask for a recanvass after all.
"I realize that despite there being less than a 1% difference in the vote, a re-canvass is extremely unlikely to change the outcome," he said in a statement.
Conway was gracious in his response, calling the Mongiardo campaign "worthy opponents."
"In the Democratic Party, as is the case with most families, sometimes brothers fight. But when faced with an opposing force, those same brothers stand together to protect their family," he said.
*Update 6/29/10: The validity of Research 2000 polls has recently come into question.

Here is a site with the results from Kentucky: http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/KY/1526…
Notice that Mongiardo (who lost the democratic primary) has more votes than Paul. There were 168,000 more votes cast for democratic nominees for the Senate seat.

The turn-out does seem inconsistent with what we've been hearing. The enthusiasm is supposed to among the Republicans. I sure don't see that in the Kentucky results.

By Michael Slother - email
LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Nathan and Cheryl Dziuk head to Arnett Elementary School to cast their District 1 ballots. They're among only a handful of eligible voters to do so.
"I just like to speak for myself, I have a voice and I'd like to use it, and I'd like to encourage everybody else to do the same." Nathan Dziuk continued. "It's sad the voting is low this year."
Only one thousand out of fourteen thousand residents of the district voted early. Candidates were both out making final campaigns Saturday. Glen Robertson was doing everything he could to lure voters to the polls.
"6:30 this morning, got out here started putting up signs at all the polling locations and then started making calls and knocking on doors at about 9 o'clock," Robertson said.
Cheryl Dziuk knows things can come down to one vote, and that's why she's out voting on her Saturday. Cheryl said, "There's been times where I thought oh my vote doesn't matter and I think oh all the other people are going to do the right thing. But that's not true."
For the Dziuks it's more than just casting a vote, but also casting an educated one. Nathan thinks it is important voters do their homework before they cast a vote. "A lot of times people have to do their own research and they don't do that, and I think they should and they should come out here and vote," Nathan said.

Some big ones took place on Wednesday at the Nueces County Courthouse.County Judge Loyd Neal did the honors of swearing in the county office holders."Ladies and gentlemen, I take the oath of office very seriously, and I know all of our elected and appointed officials who take this oath take it very seriously," Neal said. "So I'm going to ask you to please stand and affirm the swearing in of Mike Pusley."Mike Pusley was sworn in for his second term as Precinct 1 County Commissioner. Kevin Kieschnick was sworn in for his first elected term as the county's tax assessor-collector, and Nueces County Sheriff Jim Kaelin was also sworn in for his third term.They each explained some of their top plans and priorities for the future."The vision is to continue to operate our jail, which is the largest function that a sheriff has," Kaelin said. "It is the safe operation of the jail, and to operate it in a manner which continues to make it a safe, sanitary and secure facility for the citizens of Nueces County.""I'm working on a youth sports complex in northwest Nueces County," Pusley said. "It's going to be one of the largest youth sports complexes in the county. It's almost a hundred acres.""Working on the efficiencies and shortening, getting our line wait time as short as possible," Kieschnick said.

3.00% 22-Month CD & Other Competitive CD Rates at Consumers Credit Union in IL - Easy Membership
Consumers Credit Union continues to offer very competitive rates on its certificates with terms of 9, 16, 22 and 59 months. Minimum deposit is $250. Jumbo CDs for the same terms are also available with rates 25 basis points higher. These are also available as IRA certificates. The rates as listed in the credit union's rate table (pdf) as of the morning of 4/13/09 include:
Term APY - $250 Min APY - $100K Min
9 months 2.50% 2.75%
16 months 2.75% 3.00%
22 months 3.00% 3.25%
59 months 3.50% 3.75%
These rates are down from my last post in November 2008 when rates were up to 5.05% APY. Nevertheless, the rates remain competitive.
One nice feature of these certificates is that the early withdrawal penalty is a little bit lower than average. The penalty is 120 days of interest for terms of more than 1 year. Most banks and credit unions have a penalty of at least 180 days of interest for terms over 1 year. Certificate rates and details are listed in the credit union's rate sheet (pdf).
The credit union also offers a reward checking account that currently pays 4.09% APY on balances up to $25,000 (see post).
You can become eligible for credit union membership by joining Consumers Cooperative Association. This can be done by paying a one-time $5 fee. Also required for membership is a minimum $5 balance in the share savings account. Please refer to the credit union's How to Join Page for details.
There's an online application that's provided by Andera. It appears to allow you to apply for both the association membership and the credit union membership at the same time. You can also select the accounts that you want to open and fund the accounts with an ACH transfer from a checking or savings account. When you select the accounts, a pop-up states that the maximum amount that you can fund an account using a checking or savings account is $205,000. For the official details about account opening, please contact the credit union.

Researchers at USC and Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal (IRCM) have made a key discovery regarding how myelin, the insulating sheath that surrounds neurons, is regulated by the protein Par-3.
At a basic level, our nervous system is like a collection of wires that transmit electrical signals encoding our thoughts, feelings, and actions, both conscious and unconscious. The connections in our brain are formed by neurons that extend to each other and to muscles using long wires called axons. Just as an electrical wire needs insulation, our axons require an insulating sheath (myelin) that helps to propagate the electrical signal and maximize the efficiency and velocity of these signals in our brain and body. It is this property (myelination) that facilitates the long-distance communication in our nervous system across junctions called synapses, such that a thought can result in the movement of a finger or a toe. Diseases and injury that compromise the integrity of myelin such as multiple sclerosis or peripheral neuropathies, have dramatic consequences like paralysis, uncoordinated movements, and neuropathic pain. The discovery reported in this study sheds light on the mechanisms that control how myelin is formed during development of the nerves. The article, which was published in the November 3rd issue of Science, constitutes an important step forward in our understanding of the process of myelination, and opens the way to new research in this field.
More specifically, the study showed that a protein called Par-3 is at the base of the myelination process. This protein becomes localized to one side of the myelin-forming cells called Schwann cells, upon contact with the axon that is to be myelinated. Par-3 acts as a sort of molecular scaffold to set-up an 'organizing centre', which brings together key proteins essential for myelination, in particular a receptor for a molecule secreted by the neurons. The scientists found that when they disrupted this organizing centre, cells could not form myelin normally. Importantly, their discovery demonstrates that Schwann cells need to become polarized so that they know which side of the cell is in contact with the axon so that they can initiate wrapping and bring essential molecules to this critical interface. These studies open the way to new research, which should help to identify other components that are recruited at the organizing centre set-up by Par-3. Importantly, in cases of demyelination due to disease or injury, it is believed that Schwann cells could be used to re-myelinate axons. But so far this approach has proved to be relatively inefficient. Therefore, these experiments bring about the possibility that manipulating the Par-3 pathway in Schwann cells might allow for more efficient re-myelination of damaged or diseased nerves.The article can be accessed at www.sciencemag.org

It has been one year since Oscar Grant was brutally murdered by BART policeman Johannes Mehserle. The power of the people of Oakland and the Bay Area has ensured that he is standing trial for murder and not getting away unscathed as is the normal practice in police killings and brutality of our community members.
October 24, 2009
October 22nd, National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation, is much more than just a traditional, methodical way to combat police terrorism. We are demanding no more injustice to be served to us by a just-us system. No batons swung at us. No tear gas or water hoses sprayed on us. No dogs turned on us. No guns fired at us. Just like the '60s era, our struggle continues in the 21st century. Our once-silenced voices and visible stances are the exchange of fire that guns us down each day.

So I cant stand Luis Castillo. I feel like whenever he is around, the Mets play bad.
But that is just how I feel. I, having been reading this blog for a while, have learned to be skeptical of what I see and to always look for numbers to back it up. So I went onto baseball-reference and did just that.I looked for time Castillo was on the DL. Long periods of non-play. This isnt about his production on the field. This was about the time when he wasnt even around. Not off games, literally at home out of the clubhouse. Could he be the anti-Frenchy (...Germany?) and just make everyone around him stink?
Lets check out the numbers:
with (after traded to team) – 25 W 25 L
without (before traded to team) – 58 W 46 L
2008 (adjusted after it was pointed out my math was wrong):
with –58 W 57 L
without (July 3 – Aug 24) – 31 W 16 L
No time on DL
with – 24 W 30 L
without (June 2 – July 18) 22 W 17 L
I mean... seriously. Dude is a cancer. Get him off the Mets!

Funeral services were held in Detroit on April 25 for Mrs. Mabel Robinson Williams, the widow of African American revolutionary Robert F. Williams. The Williams served as leaders of the Monroe, North Carolina, chapter of the NAACP during the 1950s until early 1961, when they were targeted by local authorities and the FBI. The civil rights organizers became advocates of armed self-defense against racist violence perpetuated by the Ku Klux Klan and law-enforcement personnel in the city.

Revolutionaries throughout the Americas and the Caribbean owe a great debt to Hugo Chavez. His selfless struggle for the advancement of the masses of poor and oppressed occupied him 24/7. It was with sheer determination and a lifetime of struggle that this great champion of the oppressed, Comandante Hugo Chavez, led a revolution that provides us with a working example of what he termed "21st century socialism," where people of all ethnicities have a place under the sun.

Generations to come will suffer the health effects. We must try to stop President Obama. He has the power to say no. So far, he is good at saying yes to all the wrong people. So we must do more than we think we can. Anything less places more blood on everyone's hands." – Cynthia McKinney

Effectiveness of Natural Birth Control Methods :
When comparing contraceptive effectiveness,
- Typical use refers to failure rates for people who do not consistently or always correctly use their birth control. These rates usually apply to the average person as it is sometimes difficult to always and reliably use birth control the correct way
- Perfect use refers to failure rates for those whose use is consistent and always correct
- 100% effective
- Data indicates that women who use no birth control and who are sexually active for one year have an 85% chance of becoming pregnant in that year
- It is important to note, however, that this number is highly variable and is dependent on age and frequency of intercourse
- 50% if she is 19 to 26 years old
- 40% if she is 27 to 34 years of age
- 30% if she is 35 to 39 years old
- Typical use: all of the various fertility awareness based methods are between 78% to 88% effective
- Perfect use: all of the various fertility awareness based methods are between 95% to 97% effective
- Of every 100 women who use a type of fertility awareness based method, 12 to 22 will become pregnant in first year with typical use and 3 to 5 will become pregnant with perfect use
- Typical use: 82% effective
- Perfect use: 96% effective
- Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 18 will become pregnant (with typical use) and 4 will become pregnant with perfect use
- Typical use: 95% effective
- Perfect use: 98% effective
- Of every 100 women who use LAM, 5 will become pregnant within the first 6 months (with typical use) and less than 2 will become pregnant with perfect use
- Effectiveness rates only apply to women who are exclusively breastfeeding for the first 6 months post partum

The MU-KU rivalry has always been a key component of MU's football tradition. This week's game is looking like it could be the last in the rivalry series (at least for a while). Hoping it contributes to college football fan appreciation for the rivalry and the up-coming game, in the following essay I have tried to cover a lot of the incidents and anecdotes that, from this MU fan's perspective, comprise the fabric of the rivalry.
The football rivalry between MU and KU goes back to 1891, and has been played every year since except in 1918.[1] The upcoming game will be the 120th game in the series, making MU-KU the oldest college football rivalry west of the Mississippi. But the MU-KU rivalry is best characterized not by its length, but rather by its intensity, and the bitterness in the opposing fan bases.
Not many college football rivalries can be traced back to actual warfare, but that is the case with the MU-KU rivalry. During the Kansas Territorial period (1854-1860), there was armed conflict between residents of Missouri and Kansas Territory over issues of competing land claims and whether or not Kansas would enter the union as a slave state or free. Peace had generally been restored to the Missouri-Kansas border when the Civil War broke out in 1861, but the animosity from the Kansas Territorial period led to a vicious form of warfare along the Missouri-Kansas border in which civilian non-combatants paid a heavy price. In the opening year of the war, a variety of outlaws, independent military bands, and rogue federal troops collectively referred to as jayhawkers descended on western Missouri, plundering and burning six towns and extensive areas of the surrounding countryside. Families were burned out of their home in the middle of the winter, deprived of any of their possessions except the clothes they wore. Missourians responded by forming guerilla bands to combat the depredations of the jayhawkers. The most infamous event of the Civil War along the Missouri-Kansas order was William Quantrill's retaliatory raid on Lawrence, Kansas, which at that time was headquarters of the Kansas redlegs (a particularly nasty subset of the jayhawkers) and an auction house for goods stolen from Missouri. During Quantrill's raid, approximately one-quarter of the town was burned, and an estimated 200 male inhabitants of the town were killed, most of them innocent civilians. Quantrill's raid led the Union military command to issue Order No, 11, the forced depopulation of several Missouri counties, in which the civilian population of those counties was subjected to another round of plundering, arson, and summary execution at the hands of troops from Kansas. One observer declared the conflicts along the Missouri-Kansas border to be a "disgrace even to barbarism".[2]
So when MU and KU met on the gridiron for the first time in 1891, there was a considerable and rather unique animosity between the opposing teams and fan bases. The fans that gathered almost certainly contained participants of the border war and their children. The animosity was intensified when KU elected to call their team the Jayhawkers (later shortened to Jayhawks), the same term used to describe the men that had cut a swath of plundering, arson, and murder through western Missouri just 30 years earlier.
The first 12 games played between the schools were in Kansas City. The reasons for the game being located in Kansas City are shrouded by the passage of time, but current folk-lore says that neither team felt safe in the opposing team's home town. There may be some truth in that. The 1891 game was reportedly marred by fisticuffs, both on the gridiron and in the stands. The importance of the MU-KU game was established early. In 1896, a Missouri student wrote in the university's yearbook that "Missouri and Kansas are rivals in so many things that each would rather defeat the other than gain victories over all the rest of the world."[3] KU jumped out to 13-3-2 lead in the rivalry. The spirit of the rivalry was illustrated by MU fan reaction after they won the highly anticipated 1909 game which matched unbeaten MU and KU teams. MU won for the first time since 1901 by a score of 12-6. After the MU victory, "At the Jayhawker headquarters the invaders built a bonfire on the street car tracks in front of hotel and before the very eyes of the heart-sore Kansans plunged them into horrible humiliation by burning a turkey that was labeled "Jayhawk".[4]
While KU dominated the rivalry in the early years, the rivalry is exceptional in how even it has been. The current record stands as 56 MU wins, 54 KU wins, and 9 ties (if one accepts the Big 8 Conference's determination on the 1960 game, more about that later). The record over the first half of rivalry (1891-1961) is 28-25-7 in KU's favor, while MU leads in the second half of the rivalry with a 31-26-2 mark. And in the last 25 years it has been about as even as it could be, with a 13-12 record in MU's favor.
In addition to it evenness, there is also a remarkable symmetry in the rivalry. In 1960, KU upset No. 1 ranked MU in the season finale, and spoiled MU's national title hopes. Well, that game was sandwiched between MU upsets of KU in 1959 and 1961 that in both cases spoiled the Jayhawk's hopes for a coveted Orange Bowl appearance. Tony Sands ran for 396 yards on MU in 1991. Well, Devin West ran for 319 on KU in 1998. MU QB great Brad Smith only got only 1 win versus KU. Well, KU QB great Todd Reesing won only once MU. Some KU fans still trash talk over outstanding MU QB Corby Jones being in tears after a turnover-plagued loss to KU in 1997. Well, KU All-American QB John Hadl was sobbing after MU's upset victory over KU in 1961.
The propensity for upsets was established early in the MU-KU rivalry. Following a 7-0 MU upset of KU in 1929, a reporter made the following observation. "There were plenty of the old timers, football players, too, on the hill last night when the rallies were taking place who had an inkling of what might happen today, They were old enough and had seen frequent enough upsets when the Tiger and Jayhawker clashed, to know that no good would come out of the "sure thing" attitude displayed' on the campus. It has been a Missouri Valley byword for years and years, ever since Tiger and Jayhawker first clashed, that sureness was the thing to be avoided."[5]
With the intense animosity between the fan bases, the duration of the rivalry, and its remarkable even-ness, one would think the MU-KU rivalry would be near the top of the list of the nation's greatest college football rivalries. But it's not, and that is largely due to extended periods in which neither MU nor KU have performed at the high level deserving of national attention. However, there have also been periods when the MU-KU football games have been both extremely exciting and nationally relevant. Reading this, many MU and KU fans will probably recall the 2007-2009 games. But the golden era of the rivalry was arguably 1956-1969, in which an unusually high percentage of the games provided first-rate gridiron drama and compelling story-lines.
· 1956, KU at MU (identical records of 3-5-1). Before the season finale, it was known that the MU-KU game would be the last for legendary MU coach Don Faurot. Desperately wanting to send Faurot out with a winner, the MU squad was its own worst enemy for much of the game, turning the ball over on two fumbles and two interceptions. The game was tied and the ball in KU hands with only 39 seconds left on the clock. Amazingly, KU ran a double reverse deep through their own end zone, and Chuck Mehrer of the MU squad tackled Bobby Robinson, the KU ball carrier, in the end zone for a safety, giving MU an improbable 19-17 win. Faurot concluded his coaching career with a 13-4-2 record against the Jayhawks.
· 1958, KU (4-5) at MU (5-4). This game probably had the greatest swing of emotions in the last minute of the game than any other in the rivalry series. MU was leading by a score of 13-7 and KU wan on their own 20 yard line with only 30 seconds left in the game. Incredibly the Jayhawks hooked up on an 80-yard TD pass. Jubilant KU fans celebrated the apparent victory, but that victory was denied when MU blocked the extra point to preserve the 13-13 tie.
· 1959, MU at KU (identical records of 5-4). Going into the game, KU was a strong favorite to win the game and get a coveted Orange Bowl bid. Despite 5 Jayhawk fumbles in the game, they still had a chance to win the game on a fourth quarter drive deep into MU territory. Down 13-7 with about four minutes left, KU faced 4th and goal-to-go from the Missouri 8 yard line. KU halfback John Hadl gathered in a screen pass and it looked like he had a clear path to the end zone, but MU defender Dale Pidcock dove and got a hand on Hadl, who stumbled and fell within inches of the goal line. MU then ran the clock out for the 13-7 win, and went on to play in the Orange Bowl (a 14-0 loss to 5th-ranked Georgia). MU finished the season ranked 18th in the nation (AP).
· 1960. KU (6-2-1) at MU (9-0). MU entered the regular season finale undefeated, ranked No. 1 in the nation, and the favorite to win the national championship. KU came into the game ranked 10th in the nation. KU pulled off a 23-7 upset, behind a daring nine-man defensive front wall and the strong offensive performance of Bert Coan (named "national back of the week" for his game against MU). After the season, the Big 8 conference ruled that Coan had been ineligible for the game, and ordered KU to forfeit their victory (more on this later in the article). MU went on to a 21-14 win over Navy in the Orange Bowl.
· 1961. MU at KU (identical records of 6-2-1). KU entered the game nationally ranked (No. 10 by the AP), and was a two-touchdown favorite to win the game and receive an Orange Bowl bid. After a first quarter score gift-wrapped by MU (a fumble at their own 15 yard line), MU parlayed a strong defense and a fourth quarter score into a big 10-7 upset, stunning the sellout KU crowd of 40,500. MU declined a bowl bid, paving the way for a Jayhawk invitation to the Bluebonnet Bowl, in which the Jayhawks beat Rice 33-7 for their first bowl game victory.
· 1962. KU (6-3) at MU (7-1-1). This was a well-played game by both squads. Despite the hard-hitting defense displayed by the two squads, the game was turnover-free. MU broke a scoreless deadlock with a field goal early in the 4th quarter. Late in the 4th quarter, KU downed a 40-yard punt at the MU 3 yard line, and took over on the MU 39 after a short MU punt. KU's Gary Duff hit a 21-yard field goal with 2:36 left, the last score in a 3-3 tie. MU went on to the Bluebonnet Bowl, where they beat Georgia Tech by a 14-10 score.
· 1963. KU (5-4) at MU (6-3). Early in the game, an apparent KU TD play ended in a fumble that MU's Vince Turner returned 101 yards for an MU TD. Except for that play, KU dominated MU into the fourth quarter, but late in the game the Tigers went on their only sustained drive, marching 77 yards to the KU 5 yard line, where MU's Bill Leistritz hit the short field goal for a 9-7 win. The game marked the sixth straight rivalry game in which neither team won on its home field. MU finished the season ranked 16th (UPI).
· 1968. KU (8-1, No. 7 in the AP) at MU (7-2, No. 9 in the AP). It was a familiar story. KU was again in line for a long-awaited Orange Bowl bid. Before a record crowd of 62,200 in MU's Memorial Stadium, KU raced off to a 14-0 first quarter lead by virtue of a 35-yard interception return for a TD, and a 72-yard TD drive with KU's Bobby Douglas under center and John Riggins at running back. An MU fumble at their own 19 resulted in KU's final touchdown and a 21-6 lead early in the fourth quarter. MU fought back, driving 64 yards for a TD with eight minutes remaining. MU subsequently went 48 yards in 3 plays to get within two points of KU with 2:05 left. However, KU was able to run out the clock and preserve the 21-19 lead for the victory. This time, KU got to play in the Orange Bowl (a 15-14 loss to Penn St.), and MU went to the Gator Bowl (35-10 win over Alabama).
· 1969. MU (8-1) at KU (1-8). Again, a familiar story, this time with a theme of payback for the year before. The payback was easy given the fact that a KU team that finished the previous season in the Top 10 had fallen off a cliff, having only a single win entering the MU game. Mel Gray and Jon Stagger each scored 3 TD's for MU. MU's Terry McMillan passed for 295 yards and set a MU record of 4 TD passes. MU walloped KU for a 69-21 win. This game became of part of the rivalry folklore on the basis of the alleged exchange between the two head coaches near the end of game (discussed later in this article). MU went on to the Orange Bowl (a 10-3 loss to No. 2 Penn St.), and finished the season 6th-ranked (AP and UPI).
For a true appreciation of the The MU-KU football rivalry, one cannot look only at what transpired on the field-of-play. Some of the rivalry's most controversial and entertaining stories come from events that transpired off the gridiron.
KU finished the 1899 season with a 10-0 record under the direction of head coach Fielding H. Yost (who later gained fame for his 25 years as head coach at Michigan). KU's undefeated mark in 1899 was aided by the appearance of a mammoth tackle named Rollo Krebs for the final games of the season. In the season finale against Missouri, two Missouri lineman opposing Krebs were carried from the field on stretchers (the game was more brutal in that era), and KU prevailed by the score of 34 – 6. "Queried about the two Tigers he had laid out, Rollo said the first was "well-acquainted with rough tactics". Somehow, Rollo said, that man's chin struck Rollo's knee. So he was out. Literally. Rollo said his next opponent "slugged me in the head." Then he added: "Well, for some reason or other, after the next play that substitute had to be taken off the field on a stretcher."[6] After the Jayhawker victory, KU students planned a celebration in Krebs' honor, but he had mysteriously disappeared. The mystery of the "phantom tackle" was solved several decades later when Krebs returned to Lawrence as a guest of honor the day before the 1934 Missouri game.[7] Krebs explained his appearance and disappearance. "You see," he said at that time, "I wasn't the green farm boy that I was supposed to be. I had played five years for the University of West Virginia and a season or two for a professional club at Latrobe, Pa. One year at West Virginia 1was captain of the team and for two seasons Yost played beside me. He also was my room-mate for a time. Sure, I knew Yost was coaching Kansas. Didn't he send for me?"[8] The KU staff had essentially imported a mercenary to help beat Missouri.
The Rollo Krebs incident is illustrative of the "no holds barred" approach to winning that many colleges took in the early ear of college football. A KU history of the football program states the following. "These initial successes (a record of 14-1-1 in KU's first two full seasons of football) fostered the expectation that future teams would fare equally well. When this failed to happen, Kansas boosters sought other ways to help ensure gridiron victories. KU began recruiting paid athletes and the team allowed players who were not passing their classes (or were not enrolled students at all) to participate in the weekly games. By 1895, the demise of the team's amateurism had bred a number of critics within the University, including English professor Edwin M. Hopkins who had served as KU's football coach for its very successful 1891 and 1892 seasons. Hopkins was not alone in wondering whether football on Mt. Oread had come to "stand for brutality, for trickery; for paid players, for profanity, for betting before games and for drinking after them."[9]
There wasn't rigid control of the Tigers in the early years, either. The Tiger's 1896 season was supposed to conclude with an away game against the Dallas Athletic Club, but the Tigers were persuaded by the University of Texas head coach to play UT and then team up for a barn-storming trip into Mexico. When the Tigers finally returned to Columbia, they had been gone 25 days and had traveled 6,000 miles. MU was not very pleased with "the best case of hooky since Mark Twain's river rascal, Huckleberry Finn, excused himself permanently form the three R's at Hannibal", especially when UT charged that MU had played two ineligible players and a professional in their match-up. In response, and facing a faculty initiative to eliminate sports, MU's president hired Clark W. Hetherington for the newly created position of Director of Athletics. [10] "Organizing and developing higher standards for athletics were his two main objectives. Setting higher standards meant getting rid of the corrupting influences in college athletics, a Herculean task. Principled and determined, Hetherington believed that clean, fair and honest play of amateurs was the only way for college athletics to thrive."[11] While Hetherington separated MU from the win-at-any-cost mentality that was endemic across collegiate athletics, he was a bit naive on what it would to create a winning football program at MU. Below are excerpts from a Hetherington speech in which he encouraged the student body to lend greater support to the football program:
"Too many men think they can play football by inspiration. They do not observe training rules and the students of the university do not encourage them. When a man is taken from the training table for breaking the rules the students do not encourage him to try to win his place back.."Have a cigarette" is the way I have heard many a student address a man on the football team. The student who will do such a thing is the worst enemy Missouri has for he attacks the team in its weakest place. He attacks their training rules. If Missouri defeats Kansas this year it will be because the students of the university help the members on the squad keep their training rules. It is the spirit that will win for Missouri this fall. Why is it in so many cases that a small man who weighs perhaps 125 pounds can outplay a 250 pound player. It is spirit. It is the player who will work and who will drill that will defeat Kansas and the team that will do the same thing if it has the support of the students of the university."[12]
If these were indeed Hetherington's plans for prevailing against the KU's and Rollo Krebs of early college football, it no surprise that when Hetherington moved on, he had few supporters among MU football fans. But through the influence of Hetherington, it appears that MU developed higher standards governing the football program than much of the college football world. Perhaps the different standards held by MU and KU were the basis for a series of controversies between the schools regarding what constituted fair play.
KU won an upset victory over the Tigers in 1927 aided by Tiger play charts that had been provided to the KU staff. This was in violation of a league agreement to not scout opposing teams, and led to the resignation of KU's head coach.
In the early 1900's there was movement within college football to limit "professionalism" (paying athletes) and "proselytizing" (recruiting). In 1929, the Big Ten Conference suspended the University of Iowa over a "slush fund scandal" in which it was revealed that Hawkeye players had been paid $15 to $50 per year.[13] In 1930, issues of professionalism caught up with KU. KU's outstanding 1930 team was paced by star halfback "Jarring Jim" Bausch, an exceptional all-around athlete that later won a gold medal in the 1932 Olympic decathlon. Midway through the 1930 season, charges surfaced that Bausch was receiving a monthly check from a booster, thus explaining his earlier transfer to KU from Wichita State (then called Wichita University). Evidence was presented to the Big Six conference (by an MU professor crusading against professionalism in college athletics) that Bausch was receiving $75 per month payments from a Topeka insurance man as "against future commissions" from an insurance job that Bausch would take after graduation. (The amount of money that Bausch was receiving led one newspaper columnist to comment that the "Big Six grid wage scale makes Big Ten look cheap". [14]) The insurance compnay's arrangement with Bausch was clearly against conference rules.[15] After KU refused to declare Bausch ineligible, the other members of the conference notified KU that, "In view of the practices at the University of Kansas in violating the rules of this conference relating to recruiting and subsidizing athletes, the other five members of this conference decline to schedule any athletic games, not now under contract, with the University of Kansas…" [16] In essence, KU was being kicked out of the conference over their alleged failure to address the rules violations surrounding Bausch. In response, KU announced they would conduct an investigation, but as they considered the current evidence inadequate, they would allow Bausch to continue his play. Only after KU had their first Big Six conference title safely tucked away did KU declare Bausch ineligible.
KU butted heads with the conference (then the Big Seven) on player eligibility again in 1948. In a rule that doesn't sound controversial at all today, the conference announced in May of 1948 that previous seasons spent playing freshman or junior college football would count against a player's eligibility limit. Under this rule, five of the Big Seven member institutions would lose varsity players that otherwise would have remained eligible, but Kansas would lose more than any other school (a total of five football players, including future KU coach and icon Don Fambrough). KU believed MU's Don Faurot was behind the rule change, and KU basketball icon Phog Allen complained the rule was deliberately designed to weaken the KU football team.[17] In early July, Kansas announced their intent to defy the new conference rule and play all previously eligible student athletes in the coming football season. On July 10, the Big Seven responded with an announcement of their own, giving KU two weeks to comply with its rules or face having all of its conference games cancelled. KU quickly capitulated.[18]
Undoubtedly, the biggest dispute between MU and KU over football ethics occurred in 1960. In the middle of the 1960 season, the NCAA ruled that Bert Coan had been illegally recruited to MU because of an off-campus requiting event (a trip to Chicago with a KU booster) By Big 8 conference rules, any player recruited via an off-campus activity was automatically ineligible to play. Conference members (spear-headed by MU) reminded KU of the rules and warned that if KU did not take appropriate action, the matter would be taken up in the post-season conference meeting. KU rejected the NCAA ruling on Coan's recruitment as incorrect (claiming Coan ws not recruited during the trip), and elected to play Coan in the MU game, where he was KU's offensive star. In their post-season meeting the Big 8 Conference ruled that Coan had been ineligible to play against MU and that KU must forfeit the victory. Years later, Coan admitted he had indeed been illegally recruited as the NCAA and Big 8 had ruled. Despite that admission, KU continues to claim the 1960 game as a victory. (For more information on this game, refer to the article at http://www.rockmnation.com/2010/11/21/1828767/the-1960-mu-ku-controversey.)
There were other KU football rule infraction scandals, such as the NCAA placing KU on probation in 1983. The probation cam amidst allegations that KU assistant coach John Hadl had offered select recruits as much as $30,000 to commit to KU. [19] However, unlike the previously described controversies, MU was not involved in this case, as by this time the NCAA had taken the lead from individual conferences on matters such as rules and compliance enforcement.
Some of the rivalry's best stories are based more on fiction than fact. No KU head coach had a bigger hatred for MU than the late Don Fambrough. "Don Fambrough admits, right up front and with no apologies attached, that not everything he says about Missouri is true. But "those people" -- perhaps the former Kansas coach's warmest name for the Tigers and their fans -- deserve whatever slander comes their way, he says, and too snifflin' bad if they don't like it."[20]
Fambrough's most famous fib came in one of the annual pep talks he would give the Jayhawks before the MU game, in which he related his version of the Quantrill Raid and the roots of the rivalry. "I got all excited talking to my team one time," he recalls. "I don't think I even knew who Quantrill was at the time. I just read about him in a history book. I was just thinking of something to say and I went on and on and I mentioned the fact that it was a war and anyone who had ever played in that game knew it was a war and not a showdown. "They started the war when Quantrill came over here, killed all the men, raped all the women, and turned around burned the damn town down" I don't know why I said this, but I added a little to it and I said we found out Quantrill was a Missouri alum. Well, I had a wild-ass freshman that year, we had him trained, and he believed everything I said. You mention Missouri to him and he'd jump out that window. And I went on about how Quantrill was a Missouri alum. The following Monday, and this is the truth, he had a history test and one of the questions was 'Who was Quantrill?' I'll be damned if he didn't put down there that he was a Missouri alum. Thank goodness this professor was a good friend of mine. He called me and said "Don, I'm gonna make a deal with you. I'm gonna let you coach football and I'll teach history." I said, "By golly, that's a deal.'"[21]
That's probably the most famous Fambrough rivalry story, but not his only one. Here's one that starts with KU getting caught in a freak blizzard without cold-weather gear at MU during the early 1950s: "We went to their equipment room and begged them for clothes, torn-up jerseys or anything," Fambrough said. "They said, 'Hell, you go freeze. We don't give a damn.' It was 8 degrees, and they wouldn't give us anything. So (former coach J.V.) Sikes told the bus driver to get the bus into the stadium, behind the sideline. The driver told him the gate was locked, and Sikes said, 'You run through it.' So he cranked that thing up and busted through the fence and parked right next to the bench. The whole game, players would run off the field and into that bus." [22] Did it really happen? This author has found no corroborating documentation, but it is a heck of a story.
Fambrough wasn't the only KU coach with a penchant for a fib. There is a story about MU coach Dan Devine giving KU coach Pepper Rodgers a one-fingered salute during MU's pummeling of KU in the 1969 game. Max Falkenstien, who called Kansas games on radio and TV for 60 years, remembered it this way: "The game was getting out of hand and Pepper ostensibly flashes the peace sign to Dan Devine over on the other side. Let up a little bit, you know. And Devine returns only half of it over to Pepper. Devine gave him one finger back."[23] Falkenstein's version is consistent with the legend. There is only one problem with the legend. The incident never occurred. Devine always denied it happened, and Rodgers eventually admitted he made up the story. "If you can't exaggerate, what fun is it?" Rodgers quipped.[24]
The recent game that best epitomizes the MU-KU rivalry is the 2007 game. This game, promoted as "Armageddon at Arrowhead", pitted an undefeated KU team ranked 2nd in the AP versus a 10-1 MU team ranked 3rd in the AP. Prior to the game, a local sports columnist characterized the enormity and significance of the games as follows: "What we have this Saturday night inside Arrowhead Stadium is a one-time event, a brawl to settle it all….There will be no rematch. We're about to witness history... It's highly unlikely that Kansas and Missouri will ever meet again in a football game this big, this significant… The winner of Armageddon at Arrowhead gets lifetime bragging rights."[25]
The game was made even more important when, on the night before the big match-up, No. 1 ranked LSU lost in three over-times to Arkansas. Thus, at kick-off, both the Big 12 North championship and the No. 1 ranking in the country were at stake. 80,000 fans filled the stadium, the second largest crowd ever at Arrowhead. At half-time, MU was up by two touchdowns and never relinquished the lead. KU made it interesting when they got within 6 of MU late in the fourth quarter, but Missouri recovered the ensuing on-side kick attempt and ran out most of the clock. KU had one more chance with less than a minute left, but when KU quarterback Todd Reesing was sacked and came up with a chunk of KU end zone turf in his face mask, it was over. Based on its victory, MU was ranked No. 1 in the nation the following week.
Lifetime bragging rights forever for MU, right? Nope, there is almost nothing in this rivalry that is this simple. MU's victory over KU gave them the right to face OU in the Big 12 Conference Championship game to be played in San Antonio. After MU played OU to a tie at half-time of game (and being one half from playing in the BCS national championship game), OU dominated second-half play and won the game. Consistent with precedent, the Orange Bowl (a BCS bowl) selected a one-loss KU team over a two-loss MU team, and MU was selected to play in the Cotton Bowl. KU upset 5th-ranked (AP) Virginia Tech in their BCS bowl by a score of 24-21, while MU thoroughly dominated 25th-ranked (AP) Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl by a score of 38-7. So, about one month after their loss to MU at Arrowhead (or about 0.1 percent of a 65-year lifetime), KU fans started to claim bragging rights over MU by virtue of its BCS bowl victory. KU's claim of bragging rights on the 2007 season is questionable at best given MU's head-to-head victory in what was arguably the most important game ever played in rivalry history, KU finishing behind MU in the conference standings (it was the Tigers that advanced to the conference championship game), and KU finishing behind MU in both of the final major polls. But that is the way it is; there is little about the rivalry that MU and KU fans can confidently predict or agree on.
In October of 2011, in the face of Big 12 conference instability, MU decided it was in its best interests to join the SEC, but offered to continue its rivalry games with KU. KU, acting in its perceived best interests, has indicated they will decline MU's offer, thus apparently ending the MU-KU rivalry, at least for the upcoming years.
That makes the 2011 Border War game that much more meaningful. If one honors the Big 8 conference ruling on the 1960 game, MU has a two-game lead in the rivalry, and even with a 2011 loss, MU would still lead KU in the all-time rivalry record. However, defying the Big 8 conference edict on the 1960 game, KU claims the series is tied at 55-55-9. Thus, MU needs to win the 2011 game to lay claim to undisputed bragging rights in the rivalry, perhaps for all time (if KU continues to pass on MU's offer to continue the rivalry).
But if there is one thing that characterizes the Border War, it is unpredictability. It is the author's hope that KU reconsiders MU's offer, and that this historic rivalry continues. It would be a shame if this much history and meaning is lost to the MU and KU fan bases. Here's to the continuation of the rivalry!
Go Tigers!

The Dirt:
BERTUZZI IS BACK BITCHES! Bert is in and Tootoo is sitting. Tootoo sitting for Bert was my second choice (sitting Cleary was my first). This...is...exciting. In honor of his return, I give you The Todd Bertuzzi Song. Also this....
Todd Bertuzzi on nearly going to Wed. Killers concert at Honda Center: "Good thing I didn't, or I'd have been 15 beers deep."— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) May 2, 2013
Just so there's no confusion: Todd Bertuzzi was joking about the beer. No drinking during playoffs.— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) May 2, 2013
Bertuzzi said:
I don't really care where I'm playing(3'd or 4th line) , I'm in the lineup and putting on the jersey and I'll do everything I can to help these guys out. If that entails 6 minutes, 10 minutes, whatever it is I'll try to be the best that I can. …. It's been a long time coming, a lot of things I thought were getting better kept getting worse, but I'm at a point now where I'm comfortable with everything and I'm excited to play.
It probably won't be an easy transition for Bert, who hasn't played since February 7th, but he he looks healthier, fresher, and quite frankly younger than he has in a long time and I believe he's ready to go.
Samuelsson may also play tonight, but that's not exciting. He'll take pregame warmups and be a game time decision because someone (probably a top player) is hurting and may or may not be able to play tonight. I have suspicions in my head who it might be, but I'm too terrified to say or write them. I really hope we don't need to play Sammy. I don't think Samuelsson will actually play, and it would have to be pretty serious for someone else to sit. Babcock agrees...
"On every team there's guys who got a shot in the foot or things going on,'' Babcock said. "Samuelsson's our next guy on deck. I'm real cautious to bring two guys who haven't played into the lineup, never mind one, so unless we need him, he won't go, but he's ready to go. I told him to get prepared to play.''
Just a quick side note, the Wings signed St. Cloud College Defenseman Nick Jensen. I like what I've seen from Jensen and the progress he's made in the last couple years (this last season especially) and he doesn't get as much credit as he deserves from many writers.
Selanne said today:
"They're (Red Wings) way easier to play now that Lidstrom is not in the lineup"... "Zetterberg is so smart, he has done a great job"
We're easier to play against without Lidstrom (true) and we STILL make Selanne cry. It's nice to know we haven't lost our touch.
Lineup Notes:
The Ducks lineup notes list Ryan - Getzlaf - Perry as their top line, but they faced the Franzen - Filppula - Cleary line last game, so I'm going to slot them in the 2nd line spot. Winnik - Koivu - Cogliano go in the 1st line spot (though they're "officially" the 3'd line) because they played against the Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Abdelkader line. Lines are going to be a big deal in this series. In game 1, our #2 line shut down the Ducks #1, but their 3'd line essentially shut down our #1. Their 2nd line faced our 3'd and the 4th lines went head to head. I made changes to the Ducks lineup to reflect the actual line match ups.
Wings Lineup:
Todd Bertuzzi
Healthy Scratches
Mikael Samuelsson (Hopefully)
Darren Helm (Back)
Drew Miller (Broken Hand)
PP Lines: (please put DeKeyser on the point instead of Brunner and Give Eaves some PP time.) I also think we'll see Bertuzzi on the PP (probably) I hope it's in place of Cleary.
Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Franzen
Kronwall - Brunner
Nyquist - Filppula - Cleary
Kindl - Quincey
Ducks Lineup: No changes

The chances of the Brooklyn Nets acquiring a second superstar to pair with Deron Williams disappeared by them not acquiring the number one pick. We know Deron Williams have told the Nets that it is either Howard or bust. Just last week Gerald Wallace opted out of his final year of his contract. As of right now I believe the Nets have only $9.4 million committed towards 2013.
I know that there have been rumors about trading Deng to create cap flexibility. Boozer's contract is just plain awful. But honestly, even if we kept everybody I don't think we have enough to win a championship with this roster. There's no question that Derrick Rose is the best point guard in the league. But Deron Williams is pretty damn good too. So here is my crazy trade proposal.
Nets acquire: Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, and Joakim Noah.
Bulls acquire: Brook Lopez and their next year number 1 pick.
Why the Nets do it. Well Derrick Rose could pretty much lead this starting lineup to the best record in the league for two straight seasons. You are pretty much replacing Rose with Williams. The Nets are desperate. They lost their number 1 pick and don't want to lose Williams. They are heading to Brooklyn and want to make a splash their first season. I don't think they are other superstars that they can acquire to make Deron Williams happy. Well, I'm not sure if Deron will approve but I think this is the best the Nets can do to try and convince him. They have an owner that I think will be willing to spend. Plus I'm not sure if they are allowed to make this trade and resign all their free agents. But if they are, I know their owner will throw money at Williams and Wallace to resign. They will go over the cap but I think their owner will be willing to spend for a winner.
Why the Bulls do it: I know, I know, sounds crazy to gut the team. But if the Nets want Deng and Noah then they have to take Boozer. I know we are receiving little in return but the Bulls will be getting rid of almost $37 million. That's a lot committed on three players that won't lead you to a title. I don't mind losing Boozer, and Deng has reached its peak. Noah is the one that I will hate to see leave but if we can clear the cap space then he has to be included. Brook Lopez will be able to man the center position. With all the cap space we can resign Taj and Asik. In two years our front court can be Lopez, Gibson, Asik and Mirotic. Also, we will have the money to bring back Watson, Brewer and Korver to fill out the roster. Since they will be on their final year then they will make great trading assets to contenders. We will obviously be tanking the season so we should have a high draft pick next year. Not only that but we should have money to offer a max deal to a player like James Harden. I know this is crazy and will never happen but I just want to see what you guys think.
