Hoda Kotb snatched the 79th spot on Maxim's Hot 100 -- and if you think that's a mistake you're either named Kathie Lee ... or you don't realize HoKo's been perfectly groomed for this honor.
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
the list is a joke.miley is number one lmao
Stay away from the 'hangar'...
I would love to groom her beautiful "landing strip"......so yummy to lick that Afro up!
Hoda, Classy lady.
I love Hoda, however you have got to be joking if she is 79.
She's attractive but 79 on a hot 100 list? I don't think so.
Don't you pronounce her name like Coffee? Anyway, who is to say what one person finds attractive and another doesn't? If that is a popular men's magazine, maybe they have some idea what men like.
I find it strange that men get so offended when they hear that someone finds someone attractive who they do not. What is it to them? Are they trying hard to live up to some sort of standard?
Attractiveness is very mysterious. It is a whole package of the person, not just camera stills.
If that is hot I would hate to see what they call ugly.
Congratulations, Hoda! Thank God it wasn't Kathie Lee who must be chewing nails for being overlooked!
I'd like to get clearance from the tower to land on that runway !
Hoda could get the pipe..OW
I'd lick every inch her, I mean everywhere!
HoKo made the list but Bar didn't? that's whacked!

Last few days have been a bad time for me Ade. I haven't picked up a camera for over a week and normally I never leave home without one.
I'm not going anywhere though.
That's cool - just want to make sure it's still of interest and people are not dropping off cause it's not working for some reason

WRT the issue about the TILII gp been really busy, the bullet thing I don't think is an issue tbh maybe a bit of a storm in a T cup really. I think it is the last throw of the holiday dice this week and come next Tuesday it will be service as normal.
Right time for a couple of comments - where is my chalk and slate!!
Just joined this group and uploaded a shot, looks like a great way to learn and improve. I have not uploaded much of late as it seems pointless having comments from people who just want the return favour of clicks. May as well upload them to Facebook and the like, until NOW that is.

This classic Cox Vega Kammback Wagon gas powered funny car was purchased by us about 10 years ago. These cars were produced by Cox in the mid 1970′s and are very rare. This car is displayed in the same condition we purchased it in and we have plans to restore it to its full beauty in the coming months. This is a first run car, as the later cars had the model year on the blue decal (ex: Vega 73)

WWMC Superstars are individuals who have demonstrated incredible dedication and contribution to the World Water Monitoring Challenge program.
>> Visit the Água Educa blog page
WWMC: What drew you to the program—why did you want to get involved?
RS: The opportunity to reflect on the changes that our consumption habits have on the planet and our life quality, as well as the challenge of finding solutions through practices adopted by environmental education to minimize these impacts. It is clearly necessary to work on awareness, beginning with water courses, that involves youngsters and awakes a conscious posture for new attitudes.
WWMC: O que o atraiu você para o programa, por que você quis se envolver?
RS: Monitorar a qualidade da água é uma proposta para refletir sobre como os nossos hábitos de consumo interferem na qualidade de vida do planeta e encontrar soluções através de práticas adotadas pela educação ambiental para minimizar esses impactos. É necessário um trabalho de sensibilização, que começa com o monitoramento de um curso d'água, envolve os jovens e desperta uma postura consciente de novas atitudes.
WWMC: Do you combine other activities with the basic water monitoring to make your WWMC events special?
RS: Yes, besides water monitoring, students are committed to elaborate an action plan for future mobilization of recovering and preserving water courses.
We also held several workshops focusing on environmental issues. The aim of the workshops is to educate participants about the impacts of our actions on the water and demonstrate, in a playful manner, the various possibilities for reusing different materials. Our partnership with the ENO program strengthens the work on riparian planting.
Parallel to our main goal is to raise awareness about the importance of water conservation. We noticed that results can be achieved by changing consumer habits and raising awareness of selective collection and recycling. Behavior change happens through education, mobilization, and effective actions to reduce our impacts on the planet.
WWMC: Você combina outras atividades com o monitoramento básico de água para fazer seus eventos WWMC especial?
RS: Sim, além do monitoramento da água, os estudantes são incentivados a elaborar um plano de ação para futura mobilização de recuperação e preservação do curso de água que foi monitorado. Também promovemos diversas oficinas com foco em temas ambientais. O objetivo das oficinas é sensibilizar os participantes sobre os impactos das nossas ações na água e mostrar de forma lúdica as diversas possibilidades de reaproveitamento de diferentes materiais. A parceria com o Programa ENO fortalece o trabalho de plantio de árvores nas matas ciliares. Paralelamente ao nosso objetivo principal que é conscientizar sobre a importância da preservação da água, percebemos que outros resultados podem ser alcançados, como a mudança de hábitos de consumo e a conscientização da coleta seletiva e reciclagem. Para que a mudança de postura aconteça é necessário um conjunto de ações educativas como sensibilização, mobilização e ações efetivas para redução dos impactos no planeta.
WWMC: How have you seen WWMC influence the students that participate in it?
RS: Environmental awareness through water monitoring is one of the most effective ways to guarantee the preservation of water resources. Students learn through practice about the importance of water preservation and propagate these actions to other students and schools.
WWMC: Como você tem visto a influência WWMC nos alunos que dele participam?
RS: A conscientização ambiental através do monitoramento da água é uma das maneiras mais eficazes de garantir a preservação dos recursos hídricos. Assim, os estudantes aprendem na prática a importância de preservar a água e multiplicam essas ações para outros estudantes e escolas.
WWMC: In what ways would you like to see the WWMC develop in the next 3-5 years?
RS: I´ve been involved with WWMC since 2011 when I received the first kit through the ENO program, and we started the monitoring work with a small group. Our challenge was to multiply this action to reach the entire river bed, monitoring and incentivizing the students to develop a preservation proposal. It was surprising to see the growth of student involvement and their actions multiply to include other water courses. We distributed many kits in Brazil, and the actions continue to multiply. It would be interesting to promote work between young students focused on investigation, with emphasis on the observation and experimentation of the water monitoring, and promote a conference to share results.
WWMC: De que forma você gostaria de ver o WWMC desenvolver nos próximos 3-5 anos?
RS: Estou envolvida com o programa WWMC desde 2011 quando recebi o primeiro kit através do Programa ENO e começamos o trabalho de monitoramento com um pequeno grupo de estudantes e o nosso desafio era multiplicar esse trabalho para conseguir monitorar todo o curso do rio e incentivar os estudantes numa proposta de preservação. Foi surpreendente o envolvimento dos estudantes para multiplicar essas ações e monitorar outros cursos d'água. Distribuímos muitos kits no Brasil e as ações estão se multiplicando. Seria interessante incentivar o trabalho de Iniciação Científica entre os jovens estudantes pautada na investigação, com ênfase na observação e na experimentação do monitoramento da água e promover uma conferência para compartilhar os resultados.
WWMC: What advice would you pass on to others who would like to get involved in WWMC?
RS: When analyzing the river´s water, we perceive that one of the greatest problems in Brazil is waste that has been incorrectly disposed. This is linked to consumption incentives—we acquire unnecessary products, and everything we consume impacts not only the water but the health of the planet. Through monitoring, the students put into practice the theory and experience that our actions have an impact on the sustainability of the planet, as well as our own lives.
WWMC: Que conselho você daria para os outros que gostariam de se envolver em WWMC?
RS: Ao analisar as águas dos rios percebemos que um dos maiores problemas no Brasil é o lixo, descartado de maneira incorreta vinculada ao incentivo do consumo, pois adquirimos coisas que não são necessárias, e tudo que consumimos produz impactos não só nas águas, mas na vida do planeta. Através do monitoramento os estudantes colocam em prática a teoria e vivenciam que nossas ações têm um impacto seja na sustentabilidade do planeta e até mesmo em nossas próprias vidas.

WWMC: What drew you to the program—why did you want to get involved?
AT: I moved from a city to a village school nine years ago and promised myself to help my new students to become aware of the world they live in so that they may become as [knowledgeable] as their colleagues from city schools. This could be done by getting them involved in international projects. One of them has been Comenius Multilateral Projects that have the environment as a topic. When the World Water Monitoring Day program started, we enrolled full of enthusiasm and ready for this new challenge. We are lucky to live in an area with a rich clean water network that must be maintained for the future generations. The kits helped us a lot with the experiments.
AT: Primary and secondary students from our school are engaged in our WWMD program. Almost half of our students commute from the four neighboring villages and so the data are gathered from at least five sites during the school year. We organize field trips to local waterbodies and monitor the water quality parameters. We invite guest speakers to make presentations about the hydrologic cycle, water conservation, and water ecosystems. On World Water Day we have water quizzes and drama, make posters, and conduct water experiments.
AT: Our students have been enthusiastic in taking part in this program. The kits are easy-to-use and they have become very popular amongst our students. They love using technical names, talking about scientific units, and asking questions about unexpected pH values. The students that took part in the project in previous years always want to volunteer in the following years. The 11-year-old students joined the RiverXchange project in which they could use some of the knowledge they gained in the WWMC program. When the weather was nice they invited the kindergarten kids to learn how to monitor the water.
AT: I think it would be great if the WWMC program could be integrated with the school curriculum. Parents and local authorities' representatives would be involved in these activities, too. We would like to get in touch with schools from all over the world in order to share experience and practices in collaborative projects.
AT: Just register, get the kits, and show the students what they have to do. They will be motivated to take part in the activities as it's an easy and practical way to learn about water by doing. Just let the kids do it – they are very creative! And if you need help, just contact WWMC and you will get all the support you need.

WWMC: What drew you to the program—why did you want to get involved?
KR: Sustainable water resources management and water security have been key areas of my work as Founder, Green Vigil Foundation. The WWMC program with shared objectives of enhancing awareness in communities on water-related issues offered a great opportunity to engage school students in understanding local waterbodies through a scientific monitoring program. The donation of LaMotte water monitoring kits by WWMC has provided an impetus to my work on water conservation by evoking keen interest in students on water ecosystems and the critical need to preserve this precious resource.
WWMC: Do you combine other activities with the basic water monitoring to make your WWMC events special?
KR: Our WWMC program engages middle and high school students in various schools in Central India. The essence of the WWMC event is the field visit to local waterbodies and on-site monitoring of water quality parameters. Additionally, each WWMC event is combined with a scientific presentation on the hydrologic cycle, water conservation practices, and water ecosystems. The presentation is followed by interactive sessions that encourage students to share their data, interpret results, and formulate a project report on their observations as part of their Environmental Sciences curriculum. Other follow-up activities, including a water quiz for students, are also implemented as part of the WWMC program.
WWMC: How have you seen WWMC influence the students that participate in it?
KR: The response of students for the WWMC program has been highly enthusiastic. The easy-to-use LaMotte kits are extremely popular amongst students, especially since many schools have limited facilities to conduct such on-site monitoring events. Through our WWMC programs in various schools, we have observed an enhanced awareness in students on water-related issues, water conservation, and judicious use of water ecosystems. Many students have been motivated to initiate activities that supplement the main WWMC event and spread the message of water conservation. These incude forming groups that encourage citizens to adopt practices for reuse and recycling through door-to-door mobilization in their neighborhoods.
WWMC: In what ways would you like to see the WWMC develop in the next 3-5 years?
KR: It would be wonderful to see the program reach more schools, encompassing a higher number of students. Also, it would be useful for students if the WWMC program could be integrated with the school curriculum providing an opportunity to students to relate to their water ecosystems, facilitating their sustainable use.
WWMC: What advice would you pass on to others who would like to get involved in WWMC?
KR: With the planet facing a severe water crisis that is expected to be exacerbated due to climate change, the WWMC program with its unique, innovative approach to water quality issues, provides an excellent opportunity to involve students and communities in water conservation endeavors that can facilitate sustainable management of water resources.

NE: I have been working on environmental issues by carrying out many national and international environmental projects with schoolchildren since 1998. Most of the water resources and wetlands, in which many endangered and threatened species all over the world live, have been rapidly becoming closer to the edge of extinction. Wetlands, natural treasures, are very rich natural areas making home to numerous species. On the other hand, due to the increasing water pollution issues, water access have been becoming more and more limited for humans in most parts of the world nowadays. Therefore anything related to water has been my core study subject with children. I strongly believe that if we want to make a concrete difference in the world , water should be the very first lesson we should take up to become dedicated stewards for our planet. I would like to express my gratitude to Water Monitoring Challenge Organization for I have have been receiving genuine and continuous support in achieving this goal.
NE: Yes. I have been leading a project concerning endangered species and their wetland habitats since 2005. I started with three schools in 2005 and in 2013 the number of schools has risen up to 50, including preschools and science clubs. Within the context of this project, the students and teachers at schools carry out local research about the species and wetlands nearby their schools, prepare exhibitions both at school and in their local areas, collaborate with universities and NGOs, produce hands on crafts and artwork in the name of studied wetlands and species, carry out laboratory work at their school, and conduct hands on testing experiments at scheduled field trips. A book comprising of 200 hands-on activities produced by my project schools has recently been published.
On 20th October, 2012, First International Childrens' Summit on Hands on Science and Environmental Education was organised by me at Mediterranean University in the city of Antalya within the frame of 9th International Conference on Hands on Science. The response was beyond our expectations. More than a thousand kids, 70 science and nature stands from schools throughout Turkey, as well as out of country including water monitoring stands and workshops took place at the Summit. Many workshops and science demonstrations, presentations by teachers and students, including preschool kids were delivered for the visitors. A photography exhibition titled as 'Nature through Childrens' Eyes' comprising of Portuguese, Palestinian, Romanian, and Turkish children was also held at the Summit. Robotic shows and prehistoric science shows were performed, and a certificate ceremony for our stewards of the planet was held at the Summit. This Summit will take place in the proceeding years in Turkey.
NE: The students in the project are administered pre- and post-tests at the very beginning and at the end of the project term. As far as the outcomes are concerned, the difference in between is very meaningful on scientific terms each year. On the other hand, there is difference concerning the awareness, attitudes, and responsible behaviours of children towards the environment. The students taking part in the project in previous years always want to proceed voluntarily in the following years. These students act as senior guides to their schoolmates in the project and assist their project teacher at their schools. I strongly believe that acting as stewards our planet will be their first priority for these children no matter what their professions are in the future.
NE: As far as Turkey is concerned, I really am dreaming of every single child in Turkey to have water education and practise it in the field. It helps them both to become aware of the core issues that our planet has been struggling with and to become educated about practising real science in their natural settings by testing, obtaining and evaluating data, discussing with their groups, interpreting and analyzing. It helps them to live science by experimental learning through outdoor education, which I believe is the very significant aspect of sustainable environmental education that should be developed accordingly. I am hoping to reach every single child in Turkey in order to accomplish this goal. I know I will always have a great supporter, Water Monitoring Challenge, beside me through this meaningful journey. I also have colleagues from Tanzania, Romania, Palestine, and Portugal who would like to participate in our project, as well, and conduct water monitoring tests in the field. My project will be centered around water monitoring with the participation of many schools throughout the world with the support of World Water Monitoring Challenge.
NE: My advice will be very simple to this question. Getting in touch with World Water Monitoring Challenge through the website is the easiest and simplest way of getting involved in water monitoring as far as my personal experience is concerned. Once they contact WWMC, they will get all the genuine support they will need. Thank you very much indeed to WWMC for making me feel that I have been a member of a big, loving, and caring family of stewards for this planet and making this dream come true.
WWMC: What drew you to the program—why did you want to get involved?WWMC: ¿Qué le atrajo del programa?
JBA: The number of people interested in water conservation is on the rise, especially among those related with children. Although they are willing to give a helping hand, quite often they lack non expensive resources to keep kids interest. They all agree that a regular speech has no lasting effect.
Hands on experiences have shown teachers to have a more lasting impact. WWMC kit enables them to do so in a simple but scientific way. Add to this the possibility of sharing data with other young lads around the world, and you have a rewarding experience.
As a scientist myself, I am convinced that it is necessary to have reliable data to devise even simple solutions to any problem. This, of course, also applies to water preservation. WWMC kits, on account of its price and easiness of use for kids, turn into a powerful instrument to gather simple but meaningful data for kids to understand what is going on in water bodies nearby their communities.
JBA: El número de personas interesadas en la conservación del agua es cada vez mayor, especialmente entre aquellos que de una u otra manera están relacionados con niños. Aunque desean brindarles ayuda, a menudo carecen de recursos baratos para mantener el interés de los niños. Todos concuerdan en que una simple charla no tiene un efecto a largo plazo.
Por el contrario, como los profesores han notado, la participación de los niños en experiencias en que juegan una parte activa tiene un impacto más duradero. Añádele a esto la posibilidad de compartir sus datos con otros jóvenes alrededor del mundo, y tendrá una experiencia gratificante.
Como científico, estoy convencido de que es necesario tener datos confiables para poder diseñar soluciones, aun las más simples, a cualquier problema. Esto aplica a problemas de preservación del agua. Los kits provistos por WWMC, debido a su bajo precio y facilidad de uso para los niños, se vuelve en un poderosos instrumento para que los niños obtengan datos simples pero significativos para entender lo que sucede en cuerpos de agua cercanos a sus comunidades.
WWMC: Do you combine other activities with the basic water monitoring to make your WWMC events special?WWMC: ¿Combina otras actividades con las del monitoreo de agua para hacer los eventos del WWMC algo especial?
JBA: The 25 primary school kids, and their 5 teachers working with us, have pledged to once a week gather data for at least 5 sites during 9 months. Hence, every week it is a WWMC event! The main idea is to show that water monitoring has to be an ongoing process, and every day commitment.
JBA: Los 25 niños de primaria, junto a las 5 maestras que trabajan con ellos, se han comprometido a tomar un set de datos cada semana, incluso durante las vacaciones, durante al menos 9 meses. Por ello, cada semana es un evento WWMC. La idea principal es mostrar que el monitoreo del agua es u proceso continuo, un compromiso diario.
WWMC: How have you seen WWMC influence the students that participate in it?WWMC: ¿Cómo ha influenciado WWMC a los niños que participan en él?
JBA: Young kids have been touched by WWMC in several ways:
JBA: Los niños que han participado en WWMC han sido afectados de varias maneras:
WWMC: In what ways would you like to see the WWMC develop in the next 3-5 years?WWMC: ¿En qué direcciones le gustaría que la WWMC se desarrolle en los próximos 3 a 5 años?
JBA: The way I see it, WWMC can create the opportunities to a more involved participation of those who care for water preservation. I recall when WWMC stressed a single day as the important one for water. Lately I saw it transformed into a program with more continuous in time activity. Proof of that is the name changed from MONITORING DAY to CHALLENGE. In the years to come, I foresee WWMC allowing associates from all around the world giving it a helping hand in more activities than only use of kits: educational resources in different languages being posted in the web site, an electronic forum where the participating teachers could exchange ideas on how to use the WWMC kits, interactive crossword puzzles, and so forth.
JBA: Como lo veo, la WWMC podría crear oportunidades para lograr un mayor involucramiento de parte de aquellos que se preocupan por la reservación del agua. Recuerdo los días en que WWMC enfatizaba la toma de datos para un día en específico. Luego la vi transformarse en un programa con actividades más continuas en el tiempo. Prueba de ello es el cambio de nombre, de MONITOREO a DESAFIO. En los años venideros, veo a WWMC permitiendo a sus asociados alrededor del mundo prestándoles ayuda en otras áreas demás del uso de los kits: colocando en el sitio web recursos educacionales en diversos idiomas, foros interactivos donde maestros participantes puedan intercambiar ideas sobre como utilizar los kits, crucigramas interactivos, etc.
WWMC: ¿Qué consejos le daría a otros para que se integren a WWMC?
SZ: My first exposure to WWMC program was in 2007 with voluntary organizations working in the field of water resources. I added to it my expertise in water business and the importance of maintaining awareness of this important resource.
SZ: At the beginning we used only those provided kits, but after we gained experience, we managed to combine those tools with other activities in the schools.
SZ: In general the participants were very excited to take part in the WWMC event that is being internationally celebrated, and specifically during the sampling and taking the measurements. They found it very useful while obtaining the results. They showed their intention to transfer their experience to other students through the school/ faculty students' activities.
SZ: In the next 3-5 years, I hope that to see this program within the curricula of educational institutions and thus cover all parts of the country. I would also like to see meetings organized between the participating groups from other countries to promote the exchange of ideas and constructive suggestions in order to bring the program to the top level.
SZ: WWMC is a very easy and interesting program to share with others and educates about the priceless commodity of water that we cant live without.
WWMC: What drew you to the WWMC program—why did you want to get involved?
LPA: My first exposure to WWMC program was in 2005 when our one-year old community organization called AquaSendas (it means trails of water) received funding to work with public schools in Central Chile and Patagonia to study climate change and the impact in aquatic ecosystems. Searching the web we learned about the LaMotte WWMD kits, we got in contact with the organizers and pretty soon we received the first donation of water kits. Funded by COPAS Sur-Austral, an oceanographic research program at Universidad de Concepcion, we grew from 5 urban ponds monitored in 2005 to more than 50 aquatic environments last year and a Water Fair at the end of the year where more than 5.000 students had the opportunity to do at least one measurement with the kit. AquaSendas mission is to create awareness among local public schools about the need to conserve our water environments.
WWMC: Do you combine other activities with the basic water monitoring to make your WWMC events more meaningful?
LPA: Initially the water kit was used just to do the monitoring in each one of the waterbodies chosen for the event, and then we thought to maintain the program during the whole school year by doing student research where the water kit can give some light about seasonal changes in the studied water environments. We also created in 2004 a gathering at the end of the year called The Water Explorers Annual Meeting, this year will be our 9th meeting, where participating teachers and students meet to listen to a keynote speaker about a water issue and then formed groups to compete against each other earning points when answering WWMC related questions, discuss water issues and make new friends.
LPA: The kit is so simple to use and so engaging that students are eager to do measurements all year around, so that is where we go the next step of complexity and get them involved in the development of a hypothesis which can be tested by doing a time series monitoring of the site chosen. I teach 8 hours of Natural Science in a highly vulnerable public middle school in my hometown. The water kit is their laboratory; we cover the whole scientific method just playing with the pH measurements of water they bring from where they live and then we get outside taking water samples from the surrounding. It is a great learning experience for students, teachers and parents. As important as the concepts they learn and the ability to use the water kit is the development of social skills as we perform the monitoring. I have seen a great improvement of team work, leadership, communication, role assignment, self-care and self-esteem among my students.
Last year two initiatives based on water analysis with the LaMotte water kit will be remembered for years to come. Firstly, a group of middle-school girls from a local public school studied a common aquatic plant that grows in our urban ponds. For certain amount of time they measured the pH, nitrate and phosphate of pond water and well water where the plant was cultivated, discovering the concentration of phosphate was reduced effectively within a week, making the plant very useful as a biological filter. They won a prize for this work as part of the celebration of the International Year of Chemistry. The prize was given to them in person by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Sir Harold Kroto. Secondly, another group of students from Patagonia used the water kit to analyze the waters of the mighty Baker River on 14 different stations. Our expedition was filmed and broadcasted on national TV as part of a series of innovative ways to involved students in hands-on science and technology activities.
LPA: The program has increased immensely since the time I first participated and there is still a lot of room to grow at least here in South America. We, in AquaSendas, are taking a leading role to increase WWMC coverage in the country. Two ideas come to my mind that can help not only to grow the program even larger among new schools but also give a sense of identity and connection to those who have been long supporters of the program. Firstly, the idea of having a country coordinator where that is feasible, and secondly, organize an annual Water Meeting where we gather to share knowledge, experience and practices to project the WWMC program to the future.
LPA: Basically that, Get Involved!!!, it is a win-win decision, water is integral part of the planet, without it no life could exist as we know it, so as citizens we need to know more about this precious molecule to become aware of our own responsibility and be stewards of this element. WWMC provides a beautifully simple path to walk beyond the initial idea of excitement and awareness. The water kit is the tool we could all use to start listening to what water in the planet is telling us. Then, it depends on our own creativity how we can get the best of the water kit.
SK: I first learned of the World Water Monitoring Challenge (WWMC) program from Björn von Euler, our Director of Corporate Philanthropy and a WEF Board Member. Björn's passion for global water issues and water education are well known. As he described the WWMC program, I became intrigued with the idea of bringing water education to my local schools by providing students the opportunity to participate in a science activity that brings education to life. Xylem Watermark is an ongoing sponsor and strong supporter of WWMC. Many other Xylem employees sponsor similar events around the world for various groups of kids (schools, scouts, etc). We even ran a WWMC event for "Bring your Kids to Work Day" at Xylem Corporate headquarters on May 4th.
SK: I ran my first WWMC event for 3rd and 4th graders at a local elementary school in my hometown in 2009. Since then, the program has been expanded to include 5th graders in a second elementary school (about 100 kids in each school participate each year). In discussions with the school principals, staff, and teachers, we quickly realized that the WWMC testing could be combined with other related activities and integrated with the elementary school science curriculum to provide a really first-rate learning experience for the kids. The Superintendent and Supervisor of Science Curriculum for the school district both fully endorse and support the program. There are 4 elements of our annual WWMC program (normally conducted in the fall):
SK: This is certainly a tremendous experience for the kids. They learn the importance of water in our daily lives, they gain an appreciation for various water issues, and get to participate in a global science activity. I kind of expected these results. What I didn't anticipate was the broader impact that this program has on the school and community. It energizes the water curriculum in the schools; it brings a lot of positive energy to the student body; it encourages parent-student interaction (parents chaperone the water testing trip); and it grabs the attention of the entire local community. I frequently get stopped in and around town by a student or parent who experienced this event and just wanted to express their appreciation.
SK: I hope this program gains momentum and is adopted by many more schools. It would be great if the educational institutions that propose curriculum changes consider recommending WWMC as an optional way to enhance the elementary school science curriculum.
SK: Just try it. It takes a little planning and coordination, but it's well worth the effort. You don't need to be an expert in water or even a teacher; you just need the passion and desire to bring a unique experience into the community. There are plenty of resources to help get you going. First, check out the WWMC web site where there is a lot of good information and resources. If you have questions, contact the folks at WEF. And don't hesitate to reach out to other event organizers; we'd be happy to share our experiences and lessons learned.
WWMC: What drew you to the program—why did you want to get involved?FN: I got involved in this program because of two reasons. a) In Cameroon especially in the N.W region many water bodies are drying up, human activities are worsening pollution and springs/streams are not well cared for or protected thus threatening the freshwater ecosystems b) the passion I have in creating awareness on environmental issues amongst pupils, students and teachers. WWMC: Do you combine other activities with the basic water monitoring to make your WWMC events special?FN: Yes. We organize children's activities on water borne diseases, their prevention and protection, tree planting by environmental club members in schools, integrating environmental issues in the teaching of various subjects, etc. WWMC: How have you seen WWMC influence the students that participate in it?FN: Children are very excited and enjoy this activity. It is fascinating that children of even lower classes are able to use the water testing kits, interprete and explain the implication of pH, dissolved oxygen etc to a wider audience. The children have a lot of fun in the outdoor activity and feel respected that their contributions are shared internationally. WWMC: In what ways would you like to see the WWMC develop in the next 3-5 years?FN: I will like to get more schools and groups from various education providers involved as well as share experiences of how to develop/use learner-oriented teaching resources related to the WWMC. Every other African country should get involved in order to build awareness on water quality and help local communities to preserve and protect the health of our precious ecosystem.
WWMC: What advice would you pass on to others who would like to get involved in WWMC?FN: It is a very practical way of learning by doing. It facilitates the link between what is taught in school to real life application. Above all it is very lively, strengthens effective communication amongst learners, teachers and the community and leads to a positive change of attitudes.
WWMC: What drew you to the program—why did you want to get involved?NQ: The possibility of raising awareness among children drew the company to the program. I wanted to be involved in order to get to know the project and be a part of structural changes and habits, as well as to contribute to the achievement of the project's goals, which are great. Also, to generate in students an investigation approach to generate more interest in water topics. WWMC: Do you combine other activities with the basic water monitoring to make your WWMC events special?NQ: Yes, and in a fundamental way – with the activities of the Water for Life and Hand Wash national educational campaigns, which teach children how to take care of water resources, sewerage systems, the environment, and their health. We plan internal activities with the school and work to raise awareness among authorities, institutions, the media, etc. WWMC: How have you seen WWMC influence the students that participate in it?NQ: Yes, the monitoring activities influence them! They feel motivated and try to perform better in the measures each time they do them again. They also feel more responsible as they engage in the activities and they also feel privileged to be given the confidence and trust to carry out these activities. WWMC: In what ways would you like to see the WWMC develop in the next 3-5 years?NQ: In a more regular and constant way, this activity should be inserted in the annual plan of the schools with the participation of the parents, authorities, etc. The Ministry of Water and Environment should be more involved and regulate these activities in order to sanction or reward communities that keep their water bodies clean.WWMC: What advice would you pass on to others who would like to get involved in WWMC?NQ: They should begin with the monitoring activities so that they get involved in knowing what kind of water they consume. They should participate and contribute to these activities that reinforce the work between the teachers, the schools and the water operators.
WWMC: What drew you to the program—why did you want to get involved?MV: We were drawn to the program because water is a frequent topic addressed by the ENO program. We really liked the fact that WWMC is an extremely hands-on learning experience with a problem-based approach. We not only thought that WWMC was an interesting program but that it could easily be easily organized with elementary schools.WWMC: Do you combine other activities with the basic water monitoring to make your WWMC events special?MV: We begin every school year discussing trees and water with our students. In September, we start the school year off planting trees followed by engaging in our water monitoring activities. WWMC: How have you seen WWMC influence the students that participate in it?MV: We were actually very surprised by the positive response we've received about the program. I've had the opportunity to see Finnish students really enjoying this activity. I have also visited Malaysia and met with many ENO schools and clubs that monitor their water regularly. Water is important!WWMC: In what ways would you like to see the WWMC develop in the next 3-5 years?
MV: In 3-5 years, I would like to see WWMC partner with other groups to develop some new activities or materials.WWMC: What advice would you pass on to others who would like to get involved in WWMC?
MV: My advice to others who are considering becoming involved in WWMC is that it's both an easy and practical way to learn more about our precious resource—water. Children around the world are motivated to participate in outdoor activities, and this activity is excellent.
RH: I was particularly drawn to this program because water, especially the lack of drinking water is a major problem in Israel and our region.
WWMC: Do you combine other activities with the basic water monitoring to make your WWMC events special?
RH: We combine the basic water monitoring with all of our other collaborative projects. WWMC is a special event because we ensure that every student gets the opportunity to participate in the water monitoring, so everyone contributes to the program. Once we have collected all of the data, we publish it in the school newspaper.WWMC: How have you seen WWMC influence the students that participate in it?RH: We have noticed that our students participating in WWMC feel important to be a part of such a global project. We have also observed that this program makes our courses more professional. Finally, WWMC has been a practical way for our students to learn English.WWMC: In what ways would you like to see the WWMC develop in the next 3-5 years?
RH: In the next 3-5 years, I would like to be able to connect more with other groups who are working on similar, collaborative projects.WWMC: What advice would you pass on to others who would like to get involved in WWMC?
RH: I would tell people who are interested in becoming involved in WWMC that it's a simple, meaningful project that is happening all over the world.

My youngest son wanted to be Puss in Boots for Halloween. I bought the boot covers and hat on Amazon. He had the belt. My husband made him the sword from a dowel and a plastic cup that he painted. I knit him the sweater using two different patterns. One being the sweater construction and the other pattern for the tiger stripes. I added a belly patch to make him look more like a tabby cat and less like a tiger. My kiddo is super thrilled with his costume! ♥ You can read more about my knitting notes on my Ravelry page.

On a side note, I just noticed that "satan" auto corrects to "Satan" so I checked and god remains lowercase. Is spell check a tool of the devil?

The twelfth of May was one helluva day.
When the news got around to all the seaport towns,
That the great Titanic was sinkin down.
Up stepped a black man from the deck below that they called 'Shine'.
Hollerin, "Captain! Captain! Don't you know?
There's forty feet of water on the boiler room flo'.
The captain said, "Go back, you dirty black!
We got a thousand pumps to keep this water back."
Shine went back below and began to think.
Said, "Mm, this big, bad muthafucka is bound to sink."
Shine said, "There's fish in the ocean and crabs in the sea.
But it's one time you good cool white people ain't gonna bullshit me."
Shine went on the deck, jumped overboard, waved his ass and began to swim.
With a thousand millionaires lookin at him.
The Captain's wife stepped on the deck,
Said, "Shine! Shine! please save po me!
I'll give you all the good pussy you can see."
Shine said, "Your pussy's good and that is true,
But there's some ho's down on fifth street that's make an ass outta you.
Now there's pussy on land and pussy on sea
I got twenty five ho's in New York just waitin for me."
The captain's daughter stepped on the deck,
Said, "Shine! Shine! Please save po me!"
Said, "I'll name this little kid after thee."
Shine said, "Biiitch! You knocked up and gonna have a kid,
But yo ass gotta hit this water just like ole Shine did."
Here come the captain,
"Shine! Shine! Please save me!
I'll make you richer than any shine can be."
Shine said, "Captain, to save you would be very fine,
But I gotta first save this black ass of mine!"
Said, "There's money on land and money on sea,
I got a thousand dollars in New York just waitin on me."
Shine said, "Shark, look out!"
Said, "I know some of this black ass you'd like to taste.
But from here to New York it's gonna be one helluva race!"
When the news got around the world that the great Titanic had sunk,
Shine was in Harlem on 125th street, damn near drunk.
Shine spent all of his money, fucked his 25 women.
His dick got sore. Went to the doctor.
Doctor said, "Shine, I'm gonna have to cut yer dick off."
Shine said, "Doctor," Said, "You better cut it off down to the muthafuckin bone,
Cause if you leave any meat I'm gonna fuck right on!
If I should die, have my balls soaked in alcohol, lay my dick on my chest
And tell all these good cock bitches that ole Shine has gone to rest.
Shine died and went to hell.
The devil said, "All you bitches, you better climb the wall,
Cause ole Shine done come down here to fuck us all!"

Why the Raspberry Pi Won't Ship In Kit Form
Soulskill posted more than 2 years ago | from the you-are-too-clumsy dept.240
An anonymous reader writes "A post at the Raspberry Pi blog shows an image containing the device's SoC and memory chip to help explain why the tiny PC won't ship in kit form. Clearly, the chips are so small, and the solder blobs required so tiny, that most people would mess up doing it by hand. Add to that the fact one chip has to sit on top of the other, and if you're a millimeter out, your chips are fried." The post also addresses the use of closed source libraries for graphics acceleration.

Corsair Carbide 400R review -
Final words and conclusion
Final words and conclusion
It seems that whatever Corsair does with their products, it turns into gold. Admittedly the one thing you might not like about the chassis is the actual style, it's as subjective as anyone can be as that is a matter of taste. I'm in-between everything and think the chassis looks okay, but am not a big fan of the rounded bezel though.
However for 99 bucks you do get a serious chassis that does not forfeit a lot, in fact labeling it mid-range or mainstream doesn't even do it justice. The work space inside is great with easy access to pretty much anything and with 8 expansions lots there is plenty room for multiple graphics cards that are lengthy. Everything can be installed tool free and the new retention 3.5" HDD clips work a lot better then the previous models have shown.
Though being mainstream you do get an all black interior for the cool looks, the CPU back plate cutout for easy installation/replacement of CPU-coolers and overall features that belong in the enthusiast segment. We spot two USB 3.0 connectors at the front side, noticed plenty of grommet holes for cable routing, then there is a real good amount of room behind the motherboard for extensive cable management and then there are the dual 120mm radiator or fan mounts at the top. Corsair even includes lengthy screws to mount the radiator. And other simple stuff, if your motherboard is not yet equipped with the internal USB 3.0 connector block, then a small block to USB 3./0 connecter gender changer has been included.
As always it's all about details with Corsair and that makes this a grand chassis. You'll have plenty of airflow as the chassis has meshes everywhere, ehm let's see .. the one thing we missed out on was dust protection at the mesh side panel. So it would have been nice to see dust protection there. The PSU and front intake do have removable dust filters that you can clean out. That's it really, oh and perhaps the firewire could have been replaced with USB 2.0 or eSATA ports.
It's really the only remark I can think of.
Other then that, great design, pretty okay quality and a very nice feature set for a sub 100 USD chassis. As such we can recommend the Carbide as a true good value chassis.

LAFAYETTE — Broussard police continued looking Monday into an accident that killed a St. Martinville man after he crashed his car in a cane field off La. 96 near Lantana Court, an accident scene that was obscured and not spotted until well after daylight Saturday.
The body of Brandon A. Labiche, 28, was found in a cane row 50 feet from the 1998 Ford Taurus he was driving, Broussard Police Chief Brannon Decou said.
Decou said the Taurus appeared to have flipped several times and ejected Labiche, who did not appear to have been wearing a seat belt.
The scene indicated Labiche had crashed hours before someone spotted the wreckage at 9 a.m. The Ford's engine was cold and the vehicle was full of mud when the ground in the cane field was "somewhat dry," Decou said.
"All we know is that he left his family home around 1 a.m. (Saturday)," Decou said Monday. "That was the last time (his family) saw him."
Labiche was apparently speeding east on La. 96 when he went off the right side, traveled through a ditch, then flipped several times.
Toxicology results are pending. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Broussard Police Department at (337) 837-6259.

Jim Mora and UCLA's backfield tandem speak to the media after a heartbreaking 27-24 loss to Stanford in the Pac-12 Championship.
Stanford 27, UCLA 24 – 6:49 fourth quarter: UCLA got the clutch defensive play it needed, with Randall Goforth breaking up the end zone pass. Stanford settles for a 36-yard field goal by Jordan Williamson. Bruins limited that Cardinal drive to just 25 yards on five plays after a big punt return by Drew Terrell.
UCLA 24, Stanford 24 – 11:21 third quarter: Kevin Hogan ties the game with a 26-yard pass to Drew Terrell. UCLA cornerback Sheldon Price had a clear shot at tipping the pass, but jumped too early. One of Hogan's better throws tonight caps a 10-play, 58-yard drive that was mostly Stepfan Taylor runs.
The Bruins just can't shake the Cardinal despite more than a 100-yard edge in total offense. UCLA has committed seven penalties for 64 yards. Stanford has three for 25.
UCLA 24, Stanford 17 – 1:04 third quarter: Johnathan Franklin continues to completely wreck Stanford's vaunted run defense. This time, a 20-yard scamper gives UCLA's star tailback his second score of the day, capping the Bruins' 12-play, 80-yard drive. In what has already been a remarkable season by Franklin, this is the gem.
He already has 173 rushing yards on just 15 carries with over a quarter to go. Few teams have been able to rush for triple digits against Stanford, with Oregon rolling up the most with 198 on 40 carries.
UCLA 17, Stanford 17 – 8:20 third quarter: The Bruins tie the game on a 31-yard field goal from freshman Ka'imi Fairbairn, who has incredibly reliable from short range all season. UCLA's nine-play, 47-yard drive stalled as Brett Hundley couldn't find open receivers, including Joe Fauria running out of bounds to make himself ineligible to receive.
Johnathan Franklin continues one of his best games of the season. His 32-yard run on the drive helped give him 149 on the day, more than any other back has against Stanford.
Stanford 17, UCLA 14 – 0:02 second quarter: Jordan Williamson's 37-yard field goal breaks the game's streak of five straight punts, giving the Cardinal a slight edge heading into halftime. The 10-play, 62-yard drive was mostly Kevin Hogan on both passes and runs, but tailback Stepfan Taylor set up the field goal with a 9-yard scamper — one that made him Stanford's all-time leading rusher.
The natural grass field at Stanford Stadium is getting slippery, and it's started to affect a number of plays. Even officials have lost their footing.
UCLA 14, Stanford 14 – 12:57 second quarter: Brett Hundley makes a costly mistake, forcing a throw to Joe Fauria that just wasn't there. That gets taken back 80 yards on a eye-popping return by safety Ed Reynolds, who misses out on a pick six after the play is reviewed. Stepfan Taylor punches the ball in on a one-play, one-yard drive.
Bruins absolutely had all the momentum until that interception, having just churned out 59 yards in six plays. That included a 31-yard run by Franklin and a 17-yard pass from Hundley to Fauria.
UCLA 14, Stanford 7 – 3:40 in the first quarter: Brett Hundley abuses the Stanford defense with his legs, finding space on the left side and scrambling five yards to the end zone. Hundley had followed up his team's 15-yard penalty earlier on the drive with a 48-yard streak to the Stanford 24-yard-line.
Really good showing on the ground today for UCLA. The Bruins already have 132 yards rushing. Franklin has 80 on the day, and is the new single-season record holder for rushing yards.
UCLA 7, Stanford 7 — 6:07 first quarter: Kevin Hogan absolutely embarrassed the Bruins defense on a fake handoff, turning around to walk two yards into the end zone. No one was within even 10 yards of the Stanford quarterback on that naked bootleg. Great playcall by David Shaw there.
The Cardinal came up big twice on that 11-play, 69-yard drive. Kevin Hogan rushed 13 yards to convert a third down around midfield, and Stepfan Taylor turned a little toss into a 32-yard gain. That gave Stanford first-and-goal on the 2-yard-line.
UCLA 7, Stanford 0 – 11:35 first quarter: The Bruins get on the board early with 51-yard run up the middle by Johnathan Franklin. The tailback has now broken Maurice Jones-Drew's record in career all-purpose yards (4,688).
UCLA lucked out a bit earlier on this drive when Trent Murphy nailed Brett Hundley from the weakside to force a fumble, but the play
was called back had been blown dead due to referee confusion as to whether it should have been first or second down for the Bruins. That drive went 85 yards for 8 plays for the Bruins, including four first downs.
All week long, coaches on both sides have been talking about how little last week will affect the Pac-12 Championship. Both expect the other team to come out with their best shot, and both expect to add tweaks to their own playbooks — though neither went into detail for obvious reasons. No one thought the short week would make a difference, given that whatever affected one team would likely affect the other.
In the midst of all that coach-speak, what exactly will change? Here are three examples:
Workhorse: Johnathan Franklin has yet to take more than 30 carries this year — something that may change against Stanford Friday night. Jim Mora said that the tailback, who mustered just 65 yards last week, will be a key part of the gameplan again in the Cardinal encore. This isn't the most revelatory news, but Mora has been careful to save Franklin's legs for late-game situations. He won't be as wary of that tomorrow.
"We've got a long break after this one," he said, smiling. "We're going to ride that horse a little bit."
If so, that will lessen the team's need to rely on either Jordon James or Steven Manfro for carries.
Also key will be for the Bruins to keep the game close so that they can actually use Franklin extensively late in the game. Offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone mentioned after last Saturday's loss that the team had trouble staying on schedule in terms of downs — meaning they were often faced with more than 10 yards to go. If Franklin can churn out a good rhythm all game, that will help keep UCLA on pace.
On the other side of the field, David Shaw is expecting that the Bruins will "do everything" better than they did a week ago.
"They were on a clip where they won five straight," Shaw said. "That team didn't go away. They didn't disappear last week. They missed some things. They had some chances that went our way."
In particular, Shaw pointed out Franklin, Brett Hundley, Joseph Fauria and Anthony Barr as the most difficult Bruins for him to gameplan against.
The replacements: Mora said kick return duties have been decided, but wouldn't specify who exactly He gave only this list of players who might appear: Devin Fuller, Roosevelt Davis, Shaq Evans, Randall Goforth, Kenny Walker.
Simon Goines, Ellis McCarthy and Manfro are also recent examples of players who have been banged up recently, but Mora didn't rule anyone out.
"We've got a couple of guys that are nicked up," Mora said. "This game is pretty darn important. … There's not a whole lot that's gonna keep them off the field."
Punter Ben Rhyne is filling in for Stanford senior Daniel Zychlinski, who was knocked out of the game by a thundering hit from Anthony Barr last week. Zychlinski's shoulder is still injured, so Rhyne will take his place after kicking three punts against the Bruins — none of which landed inside the 20. Shaw said he was confident in his backup. (Unspoken was that he was still the backup for a reason.)
"For him, it's just doing it when it counts," Shaw said.
In what could be a close, grinding game, even one good roll could make a difference.
Rain game: UCLA has played just once in the rain this season, and it beat USC then. The weather will certainly be wet tomorrow, but the field is being covered with tarp all night and tomorrow morning. Traditional wisdom has it that, if the game does get sloppy, Stanford's power run game would likely benefit more than UCLA's up-tempo offense.
"The rain doesn't really affect our style very much at all," Shaw said. "We're going to run the ball."
"You could look at it two ways," Mora said. "They're kind of a physical, pound-it-, grind-it-out team. On the one hand, you can say that might be an advantage.
"But I've also been in games where a team that spreads it out a little more, gets playmakers in the open field and creates those one-on-one matchups sometimes has the advantage. If you make a guy miss on a slippery field, you've got some ground you can gain."
Stanford thoroughly beat the Bruins Saturday night. That it felt disappointing shows how far Jim Mora has taken the program in a year; few are pointing to a nine-win season (first since 2005!) as solace.
With the Pac-12 Championship up next, the Bruins should at least be more energetic, something players brought up as an issue. There's no emotional exhaustion from a big win and nothing to look forward to. Some other hurdles facing UCLA before the Stanford rematch:
Stanford's offensive line: The main talk throughout the weak was the fearsome Cardinal defense. The front seven certainly harassed the Bruins all night, keeping both the run and pass in check, but also troubling was how little UCLA could do on defense. Jim Mora had said earlier this week that the game could rest on UCLA's defense and special teams — on Saturday, neither showed up particularly well.
Stanford's offensive line absolutely had its way with the Bruins. Even when facing a stacked box, the Cardinal created great seams for tailback Stepfan Taylor. The senior rusher's two-touchdown night included runs of 40 and 49 yards. Even Anthony Wilkerson, who scored his first touchdown of the season on Saturday, churned out a season-high 48 yards.
"They're more of a get-in-your-face, try-to-bully-you offensive line," said linebacker Anthony Barr, who had nine tackles and knocked punter Daniel Zychlinski out of the game. "They're not as athletic as some offensive lines, but they just use their size to get in your way and try to push you out of the way."
UCLA tried some defensive adjustments, such as putting Owamagbe Odighizuwa in as an extra lineman, but still couldn't do much against the Cardinal as they plowed open running lane after running lane. This is likely the hardest fix for the Bruins through a short week of practice.
Consequential penalties: Mora said this week that he wasn't concerned about the Bruins' penalty problems, citing a weak correlation between flags and losses. Just looking at UCLA's 12 penalties for 135 yards on Saturday, one would be inclined to disagree. On the other hand, the Bruins were 5-0 when losing triple-digit penalty yards until this weekend.
The difference is that Stanford is better than any other team UCLA has played this season, and the penalties also came at some of the most inopportune times. There was the especially brutal flag that erased Jordan Zumwalt's interception, as well as smaller frustrations like fifth-year senior Jeff Baca's personal foul that backed up an extra point. Johnathan Franklin, 65 yards and a touchdown, likely could have hit triple-digit rushing yards had all the flags disappeared.
"Most of it was just a lot of self-inflicted wounds on our part," said offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone. "You've got to make some plays."
After most games this season, players have said the penalties will get fixed. No sign that will actually happen with a short week ahead, so don't be surprised if some big ones cost UCLA on Friday.
Hundley's flaws: Brett Hundley was sacked seven times, which helped erase his 38 yards of rushing gains to exactly zero. On the Bruins' second drive, he was nearly tripped up in the end zone, but stumbled to the six to avoid the safety. That play, among others, was a moment where Hundley really should have just thrown the ball away. He can be excused for having one bad game out of five, but UCLA needs him to be nearly perfect on Friday if it wants to beat Stanford.
"Did I really think he was going to start four weeks ago and go four years of never having one of those games?" Mazzone said. "No. It happens. Turn on the TV on Sunday. There's guys that have been in the league 13 years and have days like that.
"What's that old song, 'Strange Days'? 'Mama Said There'd Be Days Like These'?" Well, today was one of those days.
Thigpen's absence: Damien Thigpen's absence was most glaring on Kenneth Walker's kick return fumble-turned-touchdown — stretching the Stanford lead to 35-10 midway through the third quarter. On offense, that meant no two-back sets and no legitimate option besides Johnathan Franklin. The only real reinforcement coming there is Steven Manfro, who could take some carries but is still recovery from an ankle injury. This, again, puts some pressure on Hundley to be flawless, especially when Jet is resting.
Coaching showdown: Mora should be named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year, but David Shaw was last year's winner for a reason. The man might not be the most creative or daring playcaller, but he oversaw a seamless transition out of the Harbaugh era, as well as a remarkable mid-season quarterback switch. Shaw's the main reason that the Cardinal are vying for a third straight BCS bowl, even without Andrew Luck.
Nothing can take the shine off what Mora has already accomplished, but a win over Shaw would add some extra punch to an already stellar first year. Mora denied holding back any part of his playbook, but if he did, it would certainly make for a more interesting game on Friday.
The Bruins have proven themselves on offense again and again this season, so it's not like Brett Hundley and company are going to turn in a goose egg. That said, Stanford's defense — especially the front seven — looks like a different animal. When asked about the Cardinal defense this week, one of the first words out of Jim Mora's mouth was, "Wow."
The most impressive unit UCLA has faced thus far — at least statistically — is Oregon State, which delivered the Bruins their first loss. The Beavers allow just 18.6 points per game, which puts them at 21st in the nation; Stanford allows 16.9 per game, good for a 10th-place tie.
Some more numbers. Among Pac-12 teams, here are the Cardinal's rankings in scoring defense, rushing defense, sacks and tackles for loss: first, first, second, first. Rushing defense is main one that sticks out; with Damien Thigpen injured (ACL), UCLA doesn't have a game-breaking threat when it needs to rest Johnathan Franklin — something Mora has usually done to keep his star fresh for fourth quarters.
Stanford is somewhat vulnerable against the pass (257.1 yd/game, 7th in Pac-12), which is where UCLA needs to strike. But that too, is partially a function of how much teams avoid the run against the Cardinal; Stanford doesn't intercept the ball often, but have given up just 11 TDs (tied with Oregon State) and 6.1 yards per attempt — good for first and third in the conference. Against the OSU defense, which bears some statistic similarities, UCLA rolled up 444 yards but went just 2 of 15 on third downs. Expect the Bruins to be better there this week, but how much better is unclear. Hundley has been big in such situations in recent weeks.
UCLA's young offensive line can't afford mistakes this week. Franklin carried the ball a season-high 29 times against USC for 171 yards. He'll need to do something similar but against a stouter offense to help take pressure off Hundley.
EDGE: Stanford, slightly
Johnathan Franklin is one of three finalists for the Doak Walker Award. Wisconsin's Montee Ball and Oregon's Kenjon barner are also up for the nation's top running back honor. The 174-member selection committee is made up mostly of journalists, along with former players and other representatives. The winner will be revealed on Dec. 6 on ESPN at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Joseph Fauria wasn't a finalist for the Mackey Award, which quarterback Brett Hundley was disappointed about. Jeff Locke wasn't a finalist for the Ray Guy Award either, which is even more of a snub.
Eric Kendricks won Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season after logging eight tackles, one TFL, one forced fumble, a blocked punt and a pick against USC. He doesn't pop as quite much as Anthony Barr when you're watching the game, but Kendricks is so consistent across the statsheet almost every week.
UCLA football is on top of the world right now. Not on top of the polls, mind you — No. 15 in AP and No. 17 in the BCS standings — but who honestly cares about that right now? Certainly not Jim Mora, who hammers in the "one game at a time" philosophy with relentless efficacy. Every single player on the roster has absorbed that mindset, and they're headed to the Rose Bowl if they win out.
Vegas opens with the Cardinal as 1.5-point favorites. Flip a coin.
Why Stanford will win: Start with the defense that held Oregon below 40 the first time all season, and to its lowest point total since Nov. 13, 2010. Linebacker Shayne Skov looks like he never tore his ACL. This is far and away the biggest test for UCLA's offense.
Stanford also has a redshirt freshman quarterback its own. Kevin Hogan isn't close to the player Brett Hundley is, but he's plenty capable in his own right. Keeps plays alive with his feet and doesn't make costly mistakes. Also, this is a team that should have extended overtime against now-No. 1 Notre Dame, only to be thwarted by a poor call. (Although Stepfan Taylor's four straight first-and-goal runs do speak to uninspired playcalling.)
Why UCLA will win: Picking against UCLA gets harder with each passing week. Hundley has been poised regardless of circumstance, and can do everything from eluding sacks to zipping fourth-and-long completions. There's a reason USC defensive tackle George Uko compared the quarterback to Vince Young. Lane Kiffin said the Trojans missed 23 tackles on Saturday, and 12 were attempts on Hundley. Johnathan Franklin is 131 yards away from breaking Karim Abdul-Jabbar's single-season rushing record. The defense has issues, but can make big plays in crucial spots. And special teams? Killer in the past two weeks, what with the bevy of blocked punts and kicks to go along with Jeff Locke's automatic leg.
Right now, the most likely scenario is still the Bruins in the Alamo Bowl, which has second pick of the Pac-12 after the Rose Bowl. If UCLA loses to Stanford on Saturday and again in the Pac-12 Championship: the Cardinal would go to the Rose Bowl while Oregon — assuming it beats Oregon State — still gets an at-large BCS bid. If UCLA beats Stanford, then loses to the Ducks, the conference gets just one BCS bowl team. That leaves the Bruins, again, with the Alamo Bowl.
Which, by they way, might include West Virginia.
Thanks to his late father, senior offensive lineman Jeff Baca decided on UCLA before he ever played a down of football. Here's the story.
