Julian Assange has been driven to the extremity of seeking political asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy because of the injustices of the European Arrest Warrant, say UKIP.
The Party's Justice spokesman, Gerard Batten MEP, said" "Last summer I discussed with him the possibility of seeking political asylum in Britain which now seems to have a cruel irony. He has now taken that idea to a whole new level.
"Under the EAW, British citizens and guests in our country, are no longer protected by our own courts from arbitrary arrest and imprisonment by EU states. On the strength of a piece of paper anyone can be shipped off to a foreign country to languish for months or years in a foreign prison.
"It is not even necessary for the EU state requesting extradition to prefer charges first. Mr Assange is only wanted for questioning for alleged offences. He could have been questioned by a Swedish police officer coming to London or by a telephone or video link.
"Mr Assange was in Sweden for some time prior to coming to London when he could have been questioned by the Swedish authorities, and I understand he offered to do so. He fears the accusations against him are inspired by political motives, and if he is extradited to Sweden that he might then be extradited onward to the USA.
"Under EAW provisions this could not be done without the permission of Britain where he was originally detained – however in these circumstances it would no longer be British judges who decided on his onward extradition to the USA but the Home Secretary. How could we trust our Government, so grovellingly servile to the USA, to resist any pressure to do so?
"Perhaps some deal has been negotiated by Mr Assange with the Ecuadorians whereby they bestow diplomatic immunity on him? Then he could leave the country without interference from the British authorities. We shall have to wait and see."

Getting Ready to Repay
It pays to plan ahead.
Once you've stopped being a post-secondary student, its time to prepare to repay your student loans.
Several repayment options are available to make it as easy as possible.
Stay connected!
Please notify us if any of your contact information (including your name, address, phone, and email) changes, so we can continue to send you updates about your loans, including your annual tax receipts.
Interest Charges
Alberta student loans
Student Aid Alberta will not charge interest on your loans for the first six months before you begin repaying. This means when you leave or finish your studies, you'll have six months of interest-free Alberta student loans with no payments required.
If you begin studying part-time, your Alberta student loan will be interest-free with no payments required. If you are receiving student aid for your part-time studies, you'll need to complete this Confirmation of Enrollment Form B to keep your Alberta student loan in interest-free status. Also, if you are not receiving student aid, download the form here to make sure interest is not charged on your Alberta student loan.
Canada student loans
Interest on your Canada student loan starts accumulating just after you stop studying full-time. You'll start making payments six months later. You can manage this interest in one of two ways:
- Pay the interest before your Canada student loan enters repayment in six months. If you choose, you can make one or several payments to pay the interest before your loan payments begin. This could slightly reduce your monthly payment amount.
- Capitalize the interest by adding it to the principal balance of your loan when you begin making repayments. This is done automatically if the interest is not paid before your loan enters repayment.
How interest is calculated
Interest on your student loan is automatically set at the floating rate. For Alberta student loans, the floating rate is the prime rate (the lowest rate of interest for most banks). Your bank can provide you with the most current prime rate information. Floating rate for Canada student loans is prime plus 2.5%.
If you prefer, you can request a fixed rate on a one-time basis. This rate is higher at the prime rate plus 2% for your Alberta student loans and prime plus 5% for your Canada student loans.
What happens next?
Once you leave studies, the Student Aid Alberta Service Centre and/or the National Student Loan Service Centre will send you paperwork to help you get your loans ready for repayment.
Watch your mailbox and email for updates and read the information you receive carefully, as you will receive documents that require you to provide information for this next stage of your loan. Contact us if you have any questions along the way.
Keeping your loans interest-free
Your Alberta and Canada student loans will not accumulate interest while you are studying full-time. Student Aid Alberta will keep your Alberta student loan interest-free even if you are studying part-time, and for six months after you stop studying.
If you are enrolled in a post-secondary program, but not receiving student aid, find out more about keeping your loans interest-free.
• Complete Form B if you have an Alberta student loan, or if you have both Alberta and Canada student loans
• Log onto NSLSC Online Services or complete Schedule 2 if you only have Canada student loans
Your loans may also be kept from accumulating interest under the following circumstances:
• Medical residents (applies only to Student Aid Alberta)
• Parental leave (applies only to Student Aid Alberta)
• Canadian Forces Reservists

For off-campus access to library databases, e-books, and e-journals, set up your web browser to use our proxy server.
Get a map of the campus libraries.
Each library has its own hours - click on "Calendar" for each library to view a month at a time.
Access all of our resources through the library website.
Looking for a more detailed, step-by-step introduction to research? Try our interactive online Library Workshop.
Let us know what you think! After you've used this research guide, please take a moment to give us your comments.
These online sources may be useful in finding background information on your topic, and in checking facts as you write your paper. For printed encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other reference books, check OskiCat or ask the librarians for help.
Please note: this course guide was created during a previous semester, and is no longer being actively maintained. For a list of current course guides, please see http://lib.berkeley.edu/alacarte/course-guides.
Write down your topic. Identify and mark the most important keywords (the ones you would definitely want to include in a search).
What is the role of the passions in Romeo and Juliet?
For each keyword, see if you can think of synonyms or closely related concepts that you might also want to search.
passions or love or eros
Romeo and Juliet or Shakespeare
Library catalogs and article databases offer several ways to narrow or broaden, or otherwise control your search. Below are common methods; if they don't work, look for a "Help" link!
Most default to a quick keyword search (somewhat like Google) that assumes you want items containing all the words you type.
passions shakespeare
Most let you truncate a word with a wildcard symbol (usually * ) to get plurals and other variant forms.
passion* gets passion, passions, passionate
Most offer an Advanced Search with more options, such as searching on an author's name, or words in a title.
If your search retrieves too many items, use more specific terms, or put in additional keywords.
eros shakespeare
gets fewer items than love shakespeare
love poetry shakespeare
gets fewer items than love shakespeare
If your search gets too few items, use more general terms or remove some keywords.
You can also combine terms with OR to get more items.
love OR eros
gets items containing either term.
In library catalogs and most article databases, click on the title of an interesting item and look in the detailed display for links (blue underlined text). These may include the author's name, "Subjects" or "Subject headings". Clicking on one of these links will do a search for items tagged the same way.
Many catalogs and databases allow you to save items to a list/folder/etc. and e-mail, print or download the citation. Some will allow you to output citations in a particular citation style (ex: MLA or Chicago).
Most books and articles you find through the library website are suitable as sources for your paper - but some are not!
This 5-minute silent video will make it clear.
When you find a source, study it to see whether it's "scholarly". Scholarly publications include footnotes and bibliographies documenting their sources, list the author's credentials, and in most cases have been validated through a peer review process.
For more details, see our Critical Evaluation of Resources page.
If you're using web pages found through Google or other search engines, evaluation is especially important, since these tools have no built-in validation of the content. For help, see our guide to Evaluating Web Pages.
OskiCat lists books, journal titles (but not individual articles), videos, and other materials in the UC Berkeley libraries. You can also log into "My OskiCat" to renew or request items. You can now send book locations and call numbers directly to your cell phone [here's how].
Melvyl covers all the UC campus libraries, and shows which libraries worldwide have an item. It also lists some journal articles.
For more information, see our Guide to Library Catalogs.
You can check out books from most libraries on campus with your Cal 1 Card. Here's information on borrowing, renewing, returning, overdue materials, etc.
The Library offers over 100 e-book and e-text collections in specific subject areas. E-books in collections marked * are also available through OskiCat and Melvyl. You can limit your search in OskiCat to "Available online," and in Melvyl to "Online resources."
These databases are likely to have articles on your topic. We also offer a larger selection of databases in English and American Literature, Gender and Women's Studies, and many other subjects.
Some databases include the full text of articles. Look for links labeled Full text or PDF.
In addition, many databases include UC-eLinks, a system that will often connect to the full text of an article, or at least let you quickly find the printed journal in the library. Look for this button next to each item in your search results:
To use library databases from off campus you have to set up the proxy server: this changes your browser settings.

I have been feeling a tingle I have not felt since before 2004.
A sense that this year is going to be something special. The smell that something was in the air that could not be found by numbers on paper.
This year it is not contained to Utah. I really feel this is the year of the Mid-Major.
The lines are drawn between the BCS cartel and the oppressed mid majors. The fate of all mid-majors depends on the performance across the board. Each conference must win their out of conference (OOC) games to boost their own standing.
The MWC needs to win their games OOC games.
But our fate is not determined by us alone. We need the BCS conferences to be lowered as well. C-USA needs to take a bite out of the Big East, ACC and SEC. The WAC need to help us take on the PAC 10 and Big 12. If the MAC can take a bite out of the Big 10, and help with the Big East, a mid-major coup will have arrived.
The Big 10 is likely to be down this year. The MWC looks to be up this year. The WAC was way down last year and looks to be on the rebound. C-USA is a wild card. The MAC is an almost forgotten sleeper.
In the end our fate and the fates of Fresno State, Boise State, TCU, UCF, Bowling Green, Miami (OH), Tulsa, S. Miss, Houston, East Carolina, Memphis, Central Michigan and even the despised BYU are connected. One relying on the other to do their part to conquer the ruthless and corrupt enemy.
By no means am I saying we will win all the battles. This year we can combine to make waves the BCS will never forget. Michigan and Rutgers are the first battles.

MEMRI backs up my blogger-husband's findings about Iranian influence in Canada — and their attempts to shut him up
by Kathy Shaidle+ on Thursday, December 13th, 2012 | No Comments
As I have been stating for some time now, the people who brought you CASMO, Al-Quds Day,the East End Madrassah, the "Innocence of Muslims" Jew Hate Protest, and assorted Khomeini Luv Ins run the Ahlul Bayt Assembly in Canada.
These same individuals have assiduously cultivated willing government dupes and other useful idiot politicians such as Barbara Hall and the Liberal Party of Ontario, ranking members of local police forces, and 5th columnists such as the Canadian Peace Alliance.
Members of both the [Toronto] Sunni and Shia community, in particular people associated with the Ahlul Bayt Society whose activities I've exposed, have sought assistance from a "consultant" to shut me down via lawfare - yes I have the emails.

IM BACK! My appoligies for the short "sabbatical" I had to take. Work is very demanding right now as well as a fabulos hunting opportunity I had to take someone up on. But right tothe business at hand.
As FSU fans have come to expect the last few weeks, great weather is in store for a home game this weekend! A weak cold front will push through late Friday night and cool things off in Northern Florida. Tailgating will be a bit chilly with temps in the low 60's. By the start of the game time the temp will warm up to 70F. Max temps during the game will be 74F. Winds will be out of the NNW at 8mph. All in all another great weekend for football at Doak!
WINDS: NNW 8mph
I'm hoping that the Noles continue to improve the running game and remained focused on Defense. Hopefully there will be a little more to write about next week up in Chestnut Hill. Fairly zonal flow over the US right now, so the pattern is moving rapidly from West to East. Ill keep my eye out and try and put something out my Sunday evening. GO NOLES!

I have no idea how to describe the last 10 minutes, but I'll try. To say the end of Saturday night's mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz was unorthodox would be grossly understating it. The fight ended in complete chaos, with a defenseless Ortiz lying on the ground after a wicked series of events. And then Larry Merchant got involved.
This wasn't boxing. It was pro wrestling with a side of boxing, but it wasn't boxing. It was absolute pandemonium and a pay per view that probably wasn't worth the money most of the viewing public shelled out in terms of the actual fight, but the side-show sure was.
To recap: Ortiz headbutted Mayweather during a flurry of punches. It was as though he was just in the groove, then decided to add a headbutt for good measure. It was clear as day and the referee pulled him aside to dock him a point. And that's where everything went to hell.
As Ortiz tried to touch gloves and give Mayweather a quick hug to apologize -- while the referee was still dealing with the score adjustment -- he was flat knocked out. Mayweather waited until Ortiz stepped back, then hit him with a left and a right, leaving his opponent downed on the canvas. Fight over.
But let's just make it all even more weird, shall we? Larry Merchant, frustrated by Mayweather's refusal to answer questions about the fight, continued to push, leading to a ridiculous exchange. Mayweather felt HBO hated him and blamed Merchant, saying at one point, "You ain't shit." Merchant responded with, "I wish I was 50 years younger."
So there you have it. No matter who you think was right or wrong, it was a ridiculous side-show, ending with an elderly man and Mayweather standing toe-to-toe in the ring. Yep, this is where boxing is at now.

This book is all about that feeling a parent gets when coming home and realizing that the only thing that really matters is right there in their arms ready to listen.

Lake Hallie (Press Release) - On Sunday, November 4, 2012 at about 1:19 a.m., Officer Rathke of the Lake Hallie Police Department was on patrol when he observed a driver commit a traffic violation.
A purple Ford Windstar was observed failing to stop for the red light at the intersection of County Highway OO and Commercial Blvd. The driver explained that the van was low on gas and he was in a "hurry" to get to the gas station.
While still conducting the traffic stop the officer was contacted by Wal-Mart who reported they just had a theft of a 55 inch Sony television. It was reported that two males carried the TV, exiting through the grocery entrance, and failed to make any attempt to pay for it. After getting outside, the males put the TV in a purple Ford Windstar van, got into the van and the van sped off very quickly. The officer subsequently discovered the stolen TV and numerous other objects in the back of the van. The TV was valued at $1,498.
Despite the suspects claims of either innocence or no knowledge of the TV, Wal-Mart employees and video identified the suspects. As a result three suspects were arrested and transported to the Chippewa County Jail.
Additional stolen items from other jurisdictions were also discovered in the vehicle. It was also learned on Thursday November 8, 2012 that the van was reported stolen in Minnesota. It is unknown why that information was not originally entered by the agencies in Minnesota.
Arrested was Jestin E. Ledlum, 27, of Hopkins, MN, for Felony Theft and Resisting or Obstructing an Officer, Prosper Doe, 17, of Hopkins, MN, Felony Theft and Resisting or Obstructing an Officer, and Travis J. Meredith, 19, of Plymouth, Felony Theft and Resisting or Obstructing an Officer, Operating after Revocation, and a Vehicle Registration violation. Any additional charges related to the stolen vehicle are still under investigation.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - The La Crosse Civil Air Patrol Composite Squadron is part of the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary.
Saturday the program honored two of its highest achievers.
Cadet Capt. John Brennan received the Amelia Earhart Award.
Only 15 percent of Civil Air Patrol cadets nationwide receive that honor.
Cadet Lt. Col. Michael Ebert received the Ira C. Eaker Award, which marks the formal end to the cadet program.
Less than two percent of CAP cadets earn that award. This is the first time in years that a La Crosse cadet earned it.
Ebert, who plans to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy this fall, said the cadet program taught him how to be a leader.
"Following the footsteps of my father and my grandfather becoming a pilot, working toward becoming a pilot, working toward becoming an officer, gives me confidence and leadership, and the confidence I can teach people what they need to know to take over my job in the future and do, hopefully, better at it than I have," Ebert said.

Otto Bernz antique stove

Otto Bernz antique stove
Does anyone have any information on old kerosene stoves like this one? It is an Otto Bernz of Rochester NY. I cant seem to find any info or pictures on the web. Maybe one of you all who are into the old torches and stuff can steer me in the right direction.
I don't know anything about your Otto Bernz stove, except that it looks similar to the ones I've seen plumbers use to melt lead, back when they use to pour and caulk the joints in cast iron pipe.
I did a search also and all I found was about Otto Bernz and his plummers tool company of the late 1800's. Which later became BernzOmatic. Might try a tool forum under antique tools? If you haven't already. I would venture to say Paul is probably right about heating up a lead pot for plummers work.
I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn,
knew nothing about her just the year she was born
I washed her and greased her and painted her red
Now she lives happily right here in my shed.

That's exactly like the lead furnace I had for many years and foolishly let go at my auction in 1999. It isn't fueled by kerosene... but white gas. Coleman fuel works fine in them. Pump gas will quickly plug the generator, and kerosene won't work at all
The 3 step projections on top form the cradle for the rounded bottom of the lead pot. There should also be a sheet metal shield that hooks under the notches in their outer edge. This keeps air currents from chilling the pot.
On the left in the second picture is the pump to pressurize the fuel tank so it will flow up to the top and down through the generator coil so it will be heated and vaporized.

It works just like a coleman lantern in that it vaporizes the fuel. Telephone co splicers used to use them to melt lead to wipe joints on cable too.

I have the lead melting pot as well. The lantern was all rusted and is pitted, but I cleaned it up. I need some new nuts and a piece of rubber for the pump. I think I will just make the rubber pump piece. I guess I'll just clean it up some more and put it to work. I wish I had better luck finding information/pictures of it so I could paint it up original. I'll keep trying to look. Thanks for the info gang. I was told by the owner that it is kerosene fueled, you are supposed to start an alcohol fire in the pan below the burner to heat up the works, then light the kero....but maybe it is white gas...I hope it is, because it'll be easier to start. Thanks again.
You might try several of the larger sporting goods/hunting supplies stores for pump parts and seals. Some carry repair parts for Coleman and other manufacturers stoves and lanterns.
The old blow torches worked with a pan to pre heat the fuel. They called it a generator in those days. They used White gas too. Used to but Amoco White gas for them.

Carm's lead furnace has a pan to pre-heat the generator, just as the blow torches do.

I haven't found any new info as of yet, however I came across anice piece of leather and the pump seems to be functioning, as well as the check valve. I will see if it holds pressure tomorrow.
Probably not Jim. Didn't it come out that Av gas is still leaded?

Avgas IS leaded, but I'm not that interested in blowing myself up....thanks Jim. PS Jim...I'll be in Dallas in middle of June...I may look you up if its ok. And Donny too.
Sure thing, I'm likely to be here most of June. Maybe you can hit a weekend with a show. When you work out your plans for Dallas send me an email or pm.
Will do ...
i will arrive on the 19th and leave o the28th....I think the weekend is open.. I'll let you know...thanks

When your recording isn't yours
In 2010, Toronto Sun editorial page editor and columnist Rob Granatstein recorded an editorial board meeting with Rob Ford, who was a Toronto city councillor at the time.
Now Toronto mayor, Ford is the subject of a libel suit for comments he allegedly made during this meeting.
This week, Granatstein, who is now senior producer and director of Canada.com, relistened to the recording – the only recording – of what was said.
On the website this morning, he wrote about what he legally could do with the tape:
"As it turns out, that tape isn't mine, every lawyer agreed on that fact. Under the Copyright Act, even though I taped the meeting on my recorder, then took it home and put it on my home computer because I thought it might come in handy down the road, the tape belonged to the Toronto Sun, my former employer."
Read Granatstein's full article here.

NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL says Sunday night's officiating crew should have stopped play and eliminated confusion about the down and distance at the end of the New York Giants' 24-17 victory at Washington.
A 4-yard completion to the Redskins' Pierre Garcon was spotted short of a first down. Referee Jeff Triplette signaled third down. But the head linesman, with Washington in a hurry-up offense, incorrectly motioned for the crew to advance the chains, which caused the down boxes to read first down.
League officiating director Dean Blandino said Monday in a statement that "in this situation where there is obvious confusion as to the status of the down, play should have been stopped prior to third down and the correct down communicated to both clubs. This should have occurred regardless of the fact that Washington had no timeouts and it was inside two minutes."

I'm using a SportTracks (http://www.zonefivesoftware.com/SportTracks) plug-in to send an email to Twittermail. The mail never arrives (as in: the tweet is never created). I guess this has to do with the format of the mail, because I can send emails to my twittermail without problems from within my email program. I would like to know what rules twittermail applies when denying a mail.
AnswerSam Wierema 21-Jun-2011 02:14:51
Looks like something is going wrong while decoding the HTML email (presuming it's sending in HTML). We can handle all types of emails, including HTML emails, but sometimes decoding fails for some reason.
Unfortunately we currently have no way to debug what's going wrong exactly. We do have a beta program that hopefully improves on some of Twittermail's current limitations. Would you interested in testing the beta to see if the email comes through there? If so, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sturgeon's Law
"Ninety percent of everything is crap". Derived from a quote by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, who once said, "Sure, 90% of science fiction is crud. That's because 90% of everything is crud." Oddly, when Sturgeon's Law is cited, the final word is almost invariably changed to "crap". Compare Ninety-Ninety Rule. Though this maxim originated in SF fandom, most hackers recognise it and are all too aware of its truth.

Courier company using Playbooks to track their deliveries
I just saw the coolest thing today - a South African courier company (Milk Run Express) use Playbooks to track their deliveries. Each delivery person has one and they bridge it to their Blackberry handsets. He was in a rush, so I didn't have time to take a photo. I assume they must have some web-based system. I really love my Playbook and it was just great to see its versatility!

Cool. Good to hear. Many photos and articles in these forums of PBs being used by Police, Sheriff departments, hospitals, businesses, factories, military, pilots etc... A versatile device that despite the claims of others is being used successfully in many fields. In my town our hospital emergency room switched to PBs a year ago as well as one of our medical clinics.If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

The debate continues as to whether to favour predictive energy modelling during design or whether to rely on actual building performance monitoring during use.
One of the sustainable design debates being heard these days is how to resolve the gap between green building modeling and actual building performance. Organizations like the US Green Building Council (USGBC) have been criticized for rewarding green building designs that don't perform to desired expectations, causing some to doubt the efficacy of energy modeling altogether.
But the industry is responding to the criticism in more ways than one. Defending its work, the USGBC recently released an Energy Performance in the LEED Rating System report to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to improvement and showcase new tools for measuring actual performance (post-construction). These include:
- LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance which was re-launched in 2008. It now requires whole-building energy metering and reporting via ENERGY STAR for one year minimum prior to certification. The program has been extremely popular.
- Data disclosure means that all LEED building owners are now required to share water and energy usage data for at least five years.
- Building Performance Partnership is a new program that encourages voluntary feedback from all LEED-certified projects for the purpose of measuring success and further fine-tuning USGBC rating systems.
The organization hopes to develop even more techniques for measuring and improving actual building performance through the next phase of LEED system development.
In addition, the Rocky Mountain Institute and USGBC along with partners ASHRAE, IBPSA-USA, and the Institute for Market Transformation, organized a two-day Building Energy Modeling Innovation Summit aimed at identifying immediately actionable opportunities and solutions in methods/processes, software tools, education/certification, market drivers, and support/resources. By all reports, the summit appears to have been a great way for many stakeholders in the industry to work together to find creative ideas that will undoubtedly influence the future of the industry.
Both Design and Operational Measurements Are Needed
When comparing design performance with operational measurements, the truth is that we cannot replace one with the other. Measurement systems like the UK's EPCs (Energy Performance Certificates that evaluate a building's design performance) and DECs (Display Energy Certificates that track the actual performance once buildings are built. We recently discussed them here ) are both necessary. We need to be able to evaluate our designs during the design phase (through the likes of EPCs) to prioritise techniques and methods used to get the best results, and then use DECs to measure the results of the design during operation so that we can a) continue to improve operations where required and b) to adjust our methods of evaluating designs in the future.
The debate certainly is a productive one as it forces the green building industry at large, and the energy modeling industry in particular, to continually improve as it matures. When it comes right down to it, we need to evaluate both predicted and actual performance if we are to continue to make progress with green buildings.

A Day in the Sun
Tennessee 52 Mississippi 14
13 Nov 2010 | Neyland Stadium | 96,044Recap | Boxscore | Play-by-play | Drive Chart
The Tennessee Vols looked like a bunch of youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them, without a care in the world. The Ole Miss Rebels looked old, tired, confused, and not up to the challenge.
As predicted, Tyler Bray used a beautiful autumn afternoon to cement his place as the Vols' QB. All he did was display a cool, calm, almost a caution-to-the-wind demeanor, throwing 18-of-34 for 323 yards, 3 TDs, and no INTs.
Furthermore, he gave this football program a fresh coat of beautiful, orange paint. Yes, he made mistakes today, including many throws that were not nearly as accurate as desired, but he made some drop-dead, beautifully-paced throws to receivers who are beginning to believe that Christmas happens every Saturday.
After all, Santa Claus is now a tall, skinny dude from the southern San Joaquin Valley.

One of the most fascinating art exhibits I've seen included several unfinished sculptures of Michelangelo in Florence. It's one thing to see the finished product, but it's quite another experience to see a piece of marble that has been only partially cut – one from which the human form is partially poking through the rawness of the native rock, showing the immense but still unrealized potential of the raw cut. It leaves one contemplating the possibilities.
Call me a dreamer, but that was the image that came to mind as the first half was coming to an end Saturday night in Memphis.

Back-breaking turnovers by the mistake-prone Vols in the early minutes of the second half allowed South Carolina to put up enough points to keep a resilient Tennessee team from pulling off a huge upset that could have resulted in Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks giving the SEC East crown away.
In between those giveaways, Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley pulled what this observer saw as a bizarrely timed QB substitution. Just before entering the dressing room at the half of a 10-10 contest, Dooley summarized to the TV sideline reporter what it would take to give the Vols their first conference win: "mental, emotional, intellectual stamina." Dooley was not willing to lay anything on a lack of talent, size, and other physical attributes. He put it directly inside the heads of his players.

One of the most exciting, dynamic football programs comes to Knoxville Saturday night as the defending Pac-10 champions, ranked #7 in the AP poll (#8 in the Coaches' poll). This year's starting squad brings 17 out of 22 back from last season. More than relying on just experience, the Ducks kill their prey with speed and physical play within a very disciplined construct on both sides of the ball, including special teams. They are simply very, very good in every facet of the game. Read More…
Hokies Gobble Up The Vols
Recap ♦♦♦ Box Score ♦♦♦ Play-by-Play ♦♦♦ Drive Chart
After you subtract the 55 yards the Vols lost by Jonathan Crompton getting sacked six times, Tennessee was left with 5 net yards rushing on Thursday night. Five. Thank goodness Montario Hardesty was able to get all 39 yards, or we would have been deep into negative numbers.
Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin was quoted as saying "I was surprised we weren't able to run the ball better."
You and the entire Vol Nation, Lane.
Tip your orange hats to the Hokies, because they handed the orange arses back to the Vol players. Especially to Tennessee's offensive line.
The Hokies were known as a great defensive squad against the pass, but known as a vulnerable unit against good running teams. The Hokies were known as one of the worst pass rush protection offensive lines in Division I, and the Vols were highly recognized as one of the nation's best offensive lines against the dreaded sack.
I guess the magnetic field of the earth switched poles while everybody was busy unwrapping Christmas gifts last week.

The Streak Turns Silver
Recap / Box Score / Play-by-Play / Drive Chart
The self-proclaimed biggest game ever played for a generation of Kentucky football fans in front of 70,981 turned into more of the same Saturday night:
- A dog-fight of a Boarder-State Rivalry War; and
- A Tennessee victory.
With a win on Saturday, Kentucky would have fulfilled a string of significant accomplishments for their improving program under coach Rich Brooks.
- An 8-4 regular season, the first 8-win regular season since 1984.
- A second place finish in the SEC East for the first time since the realignment of the conference in 1992 and best SEC finish since 1977 (when they tied for first with Alabama).
- A likely New Years' Day bowl date for the first time since the 1998 season (Outback Bowl, Jan 1, 1999 vs Penn State).
- And perhaps, most importantly, an end to The Streak – 24 consecutive losses to their bitter, long-time, border state rival.
But, would have didn't materialize. Read More…

Vols Get McClustered, 42-17
Recap / Box Score / Play-by-Play / Drive Chart
Go on and feel bad, sad, and even a little mad.
But above all, appreciate the performer you saw on the field, even though he wore blue and gray.
Ole Miss running back Dexter McCluster carried the ball 25 times. He gained 282 yards. That's an average of over 11 yards a carry.
He scored 4 TDs on runs of 15, 23, 32, and 77 yards.
He also gained 42 yards on 4 pass receptions. That's 324 all-purpose yards.
Dexter broke the all-time Ole Miss records for most rushing yards in a game (formerly 242 yards by Dou Innocent in 1995) and most all-purpose yards in a game (formerly 317 yards by Deuce McAllister in 1999).
If Ole Miss had been playing anybody else, that would have been exciting to watch. Another performance showing the excitement of college football.
But it was against the Vols. And it was the most rushing yards ever given up by Tennessee to an opposing rusher. Ever. He busted it by 65 yards, formerly co-held by Mike Prichard (Colorado 1990) and Bobby Humphrey (Alabama 1986), both with 217 yards. And according to Knoxville's Jimmy Hyams on the radio, McCluster became only the second opponent to rush for 4 TDs against Tennessee, equaling the mark of Southern Cal great Marcus Allen back in 1981.
Oh, and Dexter McCluster's 282 rushing yards on Saturday were more yards gained on the ground than any team against the Vols this season.
A humbling end to a very bad week.
WARNING: After the jump, there are a lot of photographs of Dexter McCluster enjoying open-field running. Read More…

Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N
The Bruin Prince is getting attention for his classic Ben Ball warrior traits - intensity, hustle & DEFENSE - beyond Milwaukee and Howlandwood:
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute doesn't strike you as being star player material on first glance. He doesn't have an amazing shooting touch, he doesn't dominate the glass, and he isn't a high-flying dunker who winds on the nightly replays. In fact, unless you're a fan of the Milwaukee Bucks or the UCLA Bruins you'd probably have a hard time recalling exactly who he plays for off the top of your head.
You don't have to see too many Bucks games to recognize his value to the team, however. He's not the leading scorer or top assist man, but he is the hustle guy who does all the dirty work that often makes the difference between a win and a loss. He gets the key defensive stop, tips the ball to save a possession, or hit the open jay when a teammate has drawn a double-team. Now, after a solid - even surprising - rookie season, Mbah a Moute is in Las Vegas, putting his body on the line for the Bucks' summer league team.
"I really just want to get to play with Brandon (Jennings), Jodie (Meeks), and to get to run up and down against tough competition," Mbah a Moute tells HOOPSWORLD. "I'm working with some of the same staff I work with during the summer, and that's good experience for me."
