one thing I have generally done most of my life is to eat food that is in its natural state when i bought it
fruit, veg etc but importantly ANY Meat or Fish product.
I like to know exactly what i am consuming and at least be able to verify that it is actually that.
Now in the UK there is a huge scandal about HORSEMEAT being sold as beef in processed foods and burgers(also processed IMO) Pork in pre prepared Halal foods and who knows what else that we don't know about.
The food industry will seemingly go to any lengths to make a buck and load processed food with preservatives, nitrites, sodium and sugar.
I doubt all fresh food is perfect and no doubt all sorts of sprays and chemicals are used in their production but at least you have a vague idea what you are eating.
processed food that is pre cooked and covered in sauces is a just a great excuse to sell us any old crap that we cant tell what it is

I agree, if anything this news story has come at the right time in line with my diet, I was never a big fan of processed foods and didnt buy any of the products affected by the recent horse meat scandal but will definitely be making sure they dont go in my trolley or my mouth from now on. I bet there will be lots more news in the next few weeks about dodgy ingredients.

The problem is not that it was horse it's that it wasn't labelled as such, and currently no one knows exactly where it originated from, nor whether it was fit for human consumption.
Several common drugs for horses are dangerous to humans. They wouldn't be fed to a horse bred for food... If we don't know where the horse came from and whether it has routinely ingested such a substance then we can't know it's not entering our food supply.

So many things to learn about how food is being prepared and sold to us. I have been so surprised to find out what the different producers can actually get away with. How they take advantage of every little loophole do save money and often in the process we do not know what we are eating.

In this instance the problem hasn't been the manufacturer but the suppliers. It's almost impossible to tell minced horse from minced beef (particularly when mixed with beef mince). Without expensive DNA testing.
Until there is evidence of collusion (at local or high level) with the manufacturers I think demonising them when they have been victims of fraud seems a tad unfair (if understandable).
When we do find out where this entered the food chain I hope the governments involved prosecute the people responsible to the fullest extent of the law.

Yes it is not just processed foods
Investigation has shown that a lot of "whole food" is labelled wrong. Some fish is sold under a different fame so that a highter price can be charged. Some fish is labelled wild when it is not.
Olive oil often contains less oil from olive than other products.

That is a point
but fruit and veggies are also quite manipulated these days. So what you may eat as an apple today may be nothing like what an apple was just 100 years ago. Some of these products have had nutrition bred out of them for the purpose of creating a certain colour or a certain sweet taste. And some products are artificailly ripened (like tomato) so that look red withouth them actually have reached the ripeend stage.
Some products like wheat have been manipulated some much that the current plant is very unlike the original plant.
Lots of stuff going on. Some nutritionists are theorizing that one reason we overeat may be that our food contains so little natural nutrition that our bodies crave and so we constantly are trying to meet needs but in process taking in lots of calories.

That's an interesting theory but doesn't explain why only some but not all people over eat.
To me its amazing how obesity levels have risen in one generation , clearly some people are more inclined to put on weight if you subscribe to the body type description of physiques
I.e. endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph
I would describe myself as a mesomorph with endomorph tendencies I.e generally quite muscular under ideal conditions but with a tendency to put on weight if sedentary and not conscious about what I eat.
I think access to cheap and highly calorific food coupled with increased inactivity has tipped the balance in the last 30 Years resulting in what we see now, I see processed food as a big part in that process

For some bizarre reason we don't eat horse meat. I tried it in France some years ago and found it really quite nice, it was very lean. On another point i read recently how the nutritional value of supermarket fruit and veg had lowered over the years, i presume due to the way it is force grown and the need for uniformity. Perhaps we need to go back to the butcher baker and veg shops that we have lost over the years. Over the last year i have been buying from our local farm shop getting nice in season produce. I am still to save up my money and get my freezer empty so i can buy my meat direct from the local farm...

THE new Bishop of Popondota, in Papua New Guinea (PNG), has been robbed at gunpoint, less than 24 hours after his consecration, writes a staff reporter.
The Bishop, the Rt Revd Lindsley Ihove, was threatened in front of his family at his home last week. The robbers made away with gifts and money that had been given to him to mark his consecration the previous day.

Very nice container, great dice etc.
We travel quite a bit and this is very easy to pack (we've even added a couple of golf course short pencils to fit inside the shaker cup).
The best thing about it is that you can play two players while still playing the core elements of the classic Settlers of Catan.
I purchased this game because the regular game of Catan needs to be played with three players for it to be an exciting game. Sometimes there are only two of us around. Read morePublished 6 months ago by Amazon Customer

This is T-Mobile's way into major metropolitan markets, where it will continue to take subscribers from the likes of AT&T and Verizon. Yes, Verizon has its XLTE product, and Sprint has its "Spark" offering, but neither of those are offering the kinds of speeds T-Mobile is putting up right now.

T-Mobile CEO John Legere today took to Twitter to apologize to any offended by his remarks he made during the carrier's Uncarrier 5.0 event Wednesday. The usually brash Legere regularly picks on the other three major U.S. carriers—AT&T, in particular—but his choice of words last night may have gone too far. Legere said AT&T and Verizon are "raping" their customers.

"We're a mobile Internet company competing against utilities, so it's no wonder we're faster than they are," Legere said in a statement. "We're out there doing it while the other guys are still scheduling a meeting to talk about doing it. And there's one more thing you can bank on. We won't stop."

Amazon Should be the One Moving Its EventJune 10, 2014 10:53 am | by Ben Munson | Blogs | Comments
If priorities were in the right place, though, it would be Amazon working around T-Mobile's schedule. Amazon's (probably) phone will show off some cool tricks but after the show, it's still just another Android smartphone. Amazon is an interesting player with a strong ecosystem but it won't become a major disruptor in the smartphone space on day one.

Report: Combined Sprint, T-Mobile Would Still Need To Improve MarginsJune 5, 2014 2:43 pm | by Andrew Berg | News | Comments
Those who are willing to entertain the idea of a deal often ask whether it's realistic to expect the two smaller carriers to compete in any meaningful way on their own. According to research released today from Strategy Analytics, a combined Sprint and T-Mobile would prove an entirely different entity than the one that would have come into being had regulators approved AT&T's transaction.

T-Mobile has sent out the invitations for its Un-carrier 5.0 announcement June 18. The event in Los Angeles comes with few details; just a tagline reading "We don't play it safe and sound." Considering T-Mobile's recent VoLTE launch in Seattle and using "sound" as a clue, the upcoming announcement may have something to do with the HD Voice-enabling technology.

Box Office Report: 'Skyfall' Lands in North America, Earns Initial $4.6 Mil
MGM and Sony's Skyfall is strong out of the gate in North America, where it earned $2.2 million in Imax runs on Thursday and $2.4 million in nationwide midnight runs that began at 12:01 a.m. Friday.
PHOTOS: The Making of 'Skyfall'
The film, directed by Sam Mendes and returning Daniel Craig as 007 for a third time, has done massive business overseas since opening two weeks ago and is expected to post a sizeable domestic opening for Sony, MGM and Eon Productions.
Overseas, Skyfall has already grossed north of $320 million, far oupacing Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale, the last two James Bond pics.
VIDEO: Inside THR's 'Skyfall' Cover Shoot With Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem
The movie played exclusively in 463 Imax and other large format theaters on Thursday, and opens everywhere Friday.
"We are off to an amazing start as Skyfall begins its roll out in North America," says one Sony insider, adding that early matinee numbers from Friday are "through the roof, inclincluding exceptional performance from Imax theaters that are now running with their regular schedule.
Skyfall has a good chance of crossing $70 million in its domestic debut. One wild card domestically is more bad weather on the East Coast, already hit hard by Hurricane Sandy.
This time out, cinema's most famous spy must save both M -- again played by Judi Dench -- and MI6 from former operative-turned-villain Raoul Silvia, played by Javier Bardem. The movie also stars Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Berenice Lim Marlohe and Albert Finney.
Skyfall cost roughly $200 million to make after rebates.

Goats and donkeys
After an orange breakfast of little bread pancakes with orange jam and orange juice we headed out to an oasis about an hour away. We drove across the fertile Souss plains where all the fruit and veg for southern morocco are grown. From the bus we mostly saw Argan trees and wheat. The oasis was date palms and alfalfa and broad beans. They went to get donkeys from the small town and we had a little ride. Danny walked, which is lucky for the ...
1259. The Place where you Feel Connected
... with a spring of water underneath it… I wonder… why is it so important for people to feel connected to a place? Many people from Assaka have lived in big cities and foreign countries where they can buy homes, earn a decent wage and enjoy all the comforts of modern life. What do they really need this village for? Is it just for that warm feeling you get knowing that "this is the place where I belong?"

I reach the gate at the opposite side of the pseudo-medina, with no luck with hotels. I hate retracing my steps, especially when I already know I'm not going to find what I want back this way—so I try to look for an alternate way zigzagging the side alleys… finally I find a hotel and call it a night. It's been a long day.
Next Morning
The changing face of Morocco
... It is like an Oasis. There is a pool (full of English tourists) and a lovely garden. The orange crop was in full bloom last month, yet the scent still lingers in places. I will never forget the sounds of the birds here. It sounds like music. There are doves calling softly, song birds singing and other birds adding percussion with soft chirps.
It was a truly unforgettable day – in which I learned to truly appreciate how many faces the land of Morocco ...

As I write this the holidays are in full swing, which gets me thinking about cookies, holiday decorations, hot chocolate … and contests – specifically the contests retailers are running this holiday season. Not surprisingly, many are using social media.
Meijer recently announced the winners of its first Meijer Next Great Toymaker contest, which became available exclusively on Meijer.com, just in time for the holiday season.
Duane Reade announced a seven-week social media campaign to raise awareness of Duane Reade brand hosiery products. The contest asks shoppers to upload their photos wearing the hosiery via the retailer's Facebook page for a chance to win.
Delhaize-owned Food Lion ran its Food Lion Store Brands Holiday Bake-Off in November, in which customers entered their favorite holiday recipe – featuring their favorite Food Lion private brand products, of course – for a chance to win a $500 Food Lion gift card. In December, Facebook users had the opportunity to vote for their favorites.
Albertsons invited shoppers to create Colorful Harvest recipe Pinterest boards for a chance to win the grand prize of a $2,000 gift card from the company. Contestants had to "pin" three recipes from each of these sites: AlbertsonsMarket.com/Recipes, McCormick.com, and FisherNuts.com.
The private label tie-in here? AlbertsonsMarket.com offers an entire section of Essential Everyday recipes featuring the private label products. Furthermore, shoppers can find an exclusive collection of recipes for Essential Everyday products from Chef Antonia Lofaso of Bravo's Top Chef.
At the 2012 PLMA Private Label Trade Show, "creating customer engagement" were the buzz words I heard most. At the Fastechnology Group booth I saw how technology can drive this idea into the future.
Fastechnology is able to print QR codes on pack. What this means for recipe contests, for example, is that a shopper could buy a product in-store and remove a scratch off on the package to reveal a QR code. The code could then take them to a website to enter a recipe or get a shopping list for winning recipes – a shopping list with private label products from the original store.
I found this technology inspiring, and I hope it gets retailers thinking about how to incorporate new technology into their private label promotions. I would love to see at next year's PLMA show a section highlighting promotions, contests, and customer engagement – something to really showcase what retailers are doing to promote their private labels. I guess what I'm saying is, private label can't stop at the shelf.
I'd like to be able to bring you these insights throughout the year so that they can spur on your own creativity. Hopefully together, we can spark new ideas on how to engage your customers and create loyalty through private labels.
So, if you are running a promotion, contest, or mobile coupon, drop me a line about it. I'd love to hear about how you are promoting the innovative brands you've worked so hard to create.

Wow, it's so heart warming to see support actually written down. I got a little choked up, to be honest.
I'd just like to put it out there that if anyone on nameberry (teenberry or otherwise) is struggling with their sexuality, my inbox is always open. I may not be there in person, but I've found from personal experience that it helps to talk to someone objective who has gone through similar struggles. Phone help lines are also really great - most countries have them and some even specialise in sexuality - and you can call from phone booths if you feel you have too.

I'm old enough to remember Stonewall...so yes, things have changed, even as the backlash is still quite strong. One state at a time.

I was trying to insert a formula directly into a cell and have it reference the cells around it based on where it is placed (R1C1). I turned on the record macro feature in excel and edited a cell with the desired formula and hit enter. Excel provided me with the following function. The odd part about this, is this is the exact formula excel gave me, and when I try to run the function, it errors out with a "run time error '1004': Application-defined or object defined error. Background on the use: The function itself is just for a budget I am creating and it uses a cell two columns over to decide whether to continue numbering or to create a subset of the number above (TR is notation for total request, so anything that is not a TR, is a subset of the total request, and will be labeled the last known number & 'A', 'B', etc)

Google Street View now comes with a built-in time machine
Google Street View is a fantastic way to virtually explore the world, but until today, you could only see the latest imagery available. That kind of sucks if you had any interest in how a place has changed over the years. Google Earth has allowed us to check out old satellite images for a while now, but that's only good of you want to see what buildings have come and gone. As of today, Google has opening up this same type of access to historical imagery on Google Street View, so you can see the changes from an up close and personal angle.
The big difference is that while Google Earth uses satellite and aerial images from several sources, Street View relies on Google's own fleet of cars, trains, and even backpack wearing adventurers to document all of the nooks and crannies of the world. This means that their street level imagery only extends back to 2007, but even in that relatively short time, there have been some pretty remarkable changes.
To see if an area you're exploring has historical Street Views, look in the black box in the upper left corner of a Street View window for a clock. Click on it, and you'll get a slider that lets you look at the older street views in a window over the most recent image. Then when you see what you want, you click on the window to see the historical image on the full screen. Even with just seven years worth of views this seems to be a time waster par excellence, so imagine what it might be like in another 20 or 30 years if Google keeps this up.
For example, here in New York one of the biggest changes in recent years has been the construction of One World Trade Center, aka The Freedom Tower. Now you can chart its progress using Street View from just getting off the ground in 2009, to its full height in 2011.
Seven years may not sound like a long time, but if you check out your own area, I think you'll be surprised how much has changed without you even noticing.

NCF Nation: Wes Davis
Frank Spaziani gets contract extension
"Frank Spaziani has done a terrific job in his first two seasons as our head football coach," athletic director Gene DeFilippo said in a prepared statement. "There is no doubt in my mind that he has our program headed in the right direction. He is a man of uncompromised integrity and principle, and he has provided great stability to our program. He has overcome some obstacles along the way and is building the foundation for great things to come. This contract extension is an indication of the university's confidence in him."
"I am very appreciative of this contract extension," Spaziani said in the release. "As I have said in the past, I am honored to be the head football coach at Boston College; there's no other place I would rather be. I look forward to leading this program into the future."
It's a good, timely move for BC that will give the staff some security as it comes time to close in on recruits -- especially as the staffs at Maryland and Miami are in transitions (or, in Maryland's case, falling apart). It's also a deserved extension, as Spaziani continues to squeeze the most out of his undermanned teams.
The Eagles began the season 2-5 and were plagued by injuries to key defensive starters Alex Albright, Wes Davis and DeLeon Gause. The receiving corps was hurt before the season even started when Colin Larmond Jr., the team's leading returner, suffered a season-ending injury.
Midway through the season, 25 of the 44 players on the team's two-deep were freshmen or sophomores. Led by the nation's leading tackler, Luke Kuechly, and the ACC's leading rusher, Montel Harris, the Eagles became the first team in ACC history to win five consecutive games after losing five in a row. In so doing, they became eligible for their 12th consecutive bowl game.
Having to depend on so many young players made for a rough season, but it also gave the program a jump start on its future, especially at quarterback, where true freshman Chase Rettig took over.
BC's Luke Kuechly among nation's best
Did you get that? Twenty-one tackles. Neither team could even get that many first downs.
When it comes to making tackles, no one in the country is better.
Kuechly is the only player in the nation to have two games with at least 20 tackles. He also had 20 at NC State on Oct. 9. For the second straight year, Kuechly has ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in the country in total tackles and solo tackles. Last year he finished second in total tackles. This year he leads all players with 146. Yet after two seasons of racking up flabbergasting numbers, Kuechly is one of the most under-the-radar players outside of the ACC.
"Luke Kuechly is a great football player," said Duke coach David Cutcliffe. "He is a humble youngster; I know him well. I think he is the best defensive football player in college football. Absolutely, without question. And I will vote in that regard."
Cutcliffe wouldn't be the first.
As a true freshman last year, Kuechly earned All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America. His 158 tackles were the most by a BC defender since 1993 and his 12.15 tackles per game were the most by a rookie since the NCAA began tracking tackles in 2003.
And somehow, this year, he's even better.
"Now that I've got a year under my belt I think I'm more comfortable with the whole scheme of our defense," he said. "I feel more comfortable not only with what I'm doing, but with what other people are doing, too. That's allowed me to play a little more comfortably out there and have a little more confidence in what I'm doing."
Despite his breakout season as a true freshman, it took Kuechly, a former high school safety, some time to learn the position. He was thrown into a starting role last year after Mark Herzlich was diagnosed with cancer and Mike McLaughlin ruptured his Achilles.
"He worked at it," said defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Bill McGovern. "He was one of those guys when he came in the meeting room he would ask questions. He wanted to know where he was supposed to be and how he fit, what was going on and why he should be doing that. He learned the game quickly. He takes a lot of pride in understanding what's going on, what we're doing on defense and also how the offense is attacking him."
Apparently, not very well.
Against Duke, Kuechly extended his streak of games with 10-plus tackles to 19, which is the nation's longest active streak.
In addition to his playmaking abilities, what separates Kuechly from many of his peers is his humility.
The interception at Wake Forest? He passed it off as just being "in the right place at the right time." The forced and recovered fumble at Duke? "I was just kind of around the ball." His ridiculous stats? "If I have two tackles and we can win the game I'm perfectly OK with that."
Those within the program have nicknamed him everything from Boy Wonder, to Superman and Clark Kent (because of his studious, off-field look with glasses), but Kuechly said he's just an "average student" in BC's business school, taking some electives and trying to figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life.
He's got some time to decide.
The fact that Kuechly is a sophomore means the best is yet to come. But how does he top what he's already done? He self-scouts every week to find out.
"I need to work on angles to the ball and things," he said. "I missed a couple of tackles this past weekend because I took poor angles to the ball. There's some things in pass coverage I need to work on, get in better position, not only help myself but help the secondary behind me. That's one of the things that kind of goes unnoticed if you don't particularly know what you're looking at. I have to get in better position for pass coverage."
Regardless of how much success he has, or how much progress he continues to make, one thing that's unlikely to change about Kuechly is his modesty.
"The biggest thing is that I didn't get to where I am by myself," he said. "There's people who were constantly helping me out, guys like Wes Davis and Mark Herzlich. Everyone around me has really helped me get to where I am today. Without them I wouldn't be in this situation. The thing that you have to keep in the back of your mind is that there's always somebody better than you, and there's always somebody who helped you get to where you are."
And right now, Kuechly is at the top.
What to watch in the ACC: Week 9
NC State's run defense. It will be one of the biggest keys to the game, as FSU enters Raleigh with the No. 19 rushing offense in the nation at 211.71 yards per game. NC State is holding opponents to 148.13.
The replacements in BC. BC defensive end Alex Albright's season ended last week with a broken fibula. It's Max Holloway's job now, and safety Wes Davis is definitely out after sustaining a neck injury against Maryland. Okechukwu Okoroha is expected to start in his place. Cornerback DeLeon Gause did not practice on Wednesday but is still listed as day-to-day.
Bowl eligibility. Maryland, NC State and Miami are all chasing their sixth win of the season this week. So far, only Virginia Tech and Florida State are bowl-eligible in the ACC. It's of particular importance to the Terps and Wolfpack, who were both home for the holidays last year.
Clemson's turnover-free streak. The Tigers have gone three straight games without turning the ball over -- a first in school history. The Clemson offense has run 196 consecutive plays without a turnover, a streak that dates to the last play of the Miami (FL) game on October 2. Overall, Clemson has four games this year when it has not committed a turnover. BC's defense has had 18 takeaways this year.
Nation's top tacklers in Chestnut Hill. Saturday's game between BC and Clemson will feature two of the nation's top tacklers in BC linebacker Luke Kuechly and Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers. Kuechly leads the nation in tackles per game with 13.9 and is three shy of 100 tackles for the season. Bowers leads the nation in sacks and tackles for loss, and he is on a record-setting pace with 10 sacks in seven games so far this season. Boston College is one of the worst teams in the country in sacks allowed with 2.86 per game. Bowers needs three more to set the record for most sacks in a season in school history by a defensive lineman.
Wake Forest running back Josh Harris. In his first career start against Virginia Tech, Harris rushed 20 times for 241 yards and two touchdowns. Harris' 241 yards rushing were the most ever allowed by Virginia Tech, surpassing the 239 by Temple's Paul Palmer in 1986. Harris became the first Deacon since 2005 to rush for over 200 yards in a game. Maryland has the No. 4 rushing defense in the ACC, holding opponents to 143.6 yards per game. The Terps have held each of their last three opponents (Duke, Clemson, and BC) under 100 yards on the ground. It's the first time the defense has done that since 2004.
Maryland's secondary. Two players who are having great seasons are flying under the radar in College Park, Md. Against Boston College, safety Antwine Perez had a career-best two interceptions and recovered a fumble. Perez is second on the team in pass breakups (six) and tied for third in the league in interceptions (0.43 pg). Kenny Tate is the leading tackler in the ACC among defensive backs (8.0 per game). He is also atop the league chart with four forced fumbles, the most by a Terp since Milton Harris also had four in 2005.
Shoop vs. Shoop. UNC offensive coordinator John Shoop will face his older brother, William & Mary defensive coordinator Bob Shoop. It is believed to be one of only three matchups in college football this season pitting brothers against each other, according to UNC's sports information department. (The other two involve Oklahoma). Both Shoops are in their fourth seasons at their respective schools. Carolina is averaging 365 yards per game and the Tribe is allowing just 318 yards. May the best Shoop win.
Pass defenses in Charlottesville. The ACC's top two pass defenses will be featured in the Miami-Virginia game. Miami leads the ACC with 149.1 passing yards per game allowed, and Virginia follows at 165.4. The Canes have 14 interceptions, Virginia five.
Back and forth in the ACC: Weeks 8/9
The bad: Injuries. None was worse than the motor scooter accident at Maryland, which left starting offensive lineman Pete DeSouza in intensive care with two broken bones in both legs. But Boston College also lost a leader for the season when starting defensive end Alex Albright – the Eagles' top pass rusher and a team captain – broke his fibula and will miss the rest of the season. Starting safety Wes Davis, another team captain, suffered a neck injury but has full mobility and has been released from the hospital.
The ugly: Virginia's attendance. The Cavaliers finally got an FBS win, but Hoo cares if nobody was there to see it? The announced crowd was 36,600 – the fewest in Scott Stadium since UVA played Duke in 1997.
The broken: Streaks. Miami coach Randy Shannon was awarded the game ball after snapping his three-game losing streak to North Carolina coach Butch Davis, and Clemson coach Dabo Swinney snapped his three-game losing streak to Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson.
The unbelievable: Georgia Tech quarterback Joshua Nesbitt, who was just 44 yards shy of becoming the ACC's most prolific rushing quarterback, was held to two rushing yards against Clemson.
The front-runners: Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor and Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers continued to make cases in the races for offensive and defensive players of the year, respectively. Taylor threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns, and Bowers had his 10th sack of the season and finished with 2.5 tackles for loss.
The Atlantic Division takes center stage in this week's top three games:
Florida State at NC State: It's lost some of its luster since NC State lost to East Carolina and wasn't able to hold onto its spot in the Associated Press Top 25 for more than a week, but it should still be a great game that holds championship implications. The winner of this game should be considered the favorite to win the Atlantic Division.
Wake Forest at Maryland: The Terps can become bowl eligible with a home win on Saturday, but the Deacs have had a week off to rest and prepare and could play the role of spoiler.
Clemson at Boston College: It's a chance for the Tigers to continue their momentum, and they're catching the Eagles at one of their lowest points in years. BC never quits, though, especially at home, and considering its poor start, Clemson can't afford to overlook anyone.
BC's Albright suffers season-ending injury
Safety Wes Davis, who injured his neck and was carted off the field and taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital during Saturday's game against Maryland, will be discharged from the hospital today. He has full movement and is listed as day-to-day. That's two of BC's four captains, and two very good people. Cornerback DeLeon Gause has a knee injury that doesn't need surgery and is listed as day to day.
BC's defense was the one good thing it had going for it, and a lot of it was because of the aforementioned players.
'Holy War' still intense, despite struggling teams
Yes, that was his best memory. After all, BC won, 17-0.
As McCluskey said, the storied "Holy War" rivalry is "not just another game."
It doesn't matter that Notre Dame is 1-3, or Boston College will be breaking in a new starting quarterback and coming off its first shutout at home in over a decade. Beating the Irish carries a lot of weight in Chestnut Hill -- so much so that McCluskey would rather break his leg and win than stay healthy and lose.
"Yeah," he said, "I would."
Boston College and Notre Dame are the only two Catholic universities to play football in the FBS. The Irish lead the series 10-9, but the Eagles have won six of the past seven games. Boston College is coming off a 19-0 loss to Virginia Tech, but there's no time to sulk, as Notre Dame appears on the brink of turning things around under first-year coach Brian Kelly, who was born in Everett, Mass., and raised in Chelsea, Mass. Notre Dame is looking for its first win in Alumni Stadium since 1998.
"Every Sunday after practice we always tell each other once we walk off the field today, on Sunday, we say that game's over with, let's move on," McCluskey said. "We can't afford to waste any days at practice looking at it like, 'Damn, I wish we'd won last week.' We know how prepared we have to be, how important it is to get good days of practice in. For what we want to do, what our team goals are, it's just as important as an ACC game even though it doesn't have an effect on our chances to go to the ACC championship."
It does have an effect on bragging rights. Boston College's defense was able to force Virginia Tech to kick four field goals instead of scoring touchdowns, but will face one of the better passing offenses in the country on Saturday. No other Notre Dame quarterback has passed for more yards through his first four career starts than Dayne Crist, who has 1,155. The Irish are averaging 315.5 passing yards per game, but have lost three in a row to Michigan, Michigan State and No. 16 Stanford -- hardly a string of cupcakes.
"Despite their 1-3 record they're a very good football team," said coach Frank Spaziani. "They're big, strong and fast and extremely well-coached. They have all the pieces to the puzzle, they just ran into a little bit of a buzz saw early on in a new regime. We're looking for a very good football team to come in here, a very hungry team."
Boston College safety Wes Davis, a native of San Diego, said he has embraced the rivalry and can sense how much it means to the fans and the students on campus.
"The students are a little more interested," he said. "I think you'll see some more butts in the seats before game time. This is my fifth year here. I know how it's going to be, how excited people are for it. There's definitely a different atmosphere, but from a team perspective it's status quo.
"It would be ridiculous for us to say we're preparing any different for Notre Dame than we did for Virginia Tech," he said. "That would be asinine. I don't think Notre Dame is doing that either. As a whole we respect how much our fans enjoy this atmosphere and the game. It means a lot to the folks here."
It also means a lot to the players -- just ask McCluskey.
Fully loaded in the ACC
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
There are some teams in the ACC that are stacked at a particular position or positions -- meaning there's not just depth there, but depth and legitimate all-conference talent. Here's a quick look at who in the conference is simply loaded:
UNC front seven: All four starters return on the defensive line, and there is outstanding depth both there and in the secondary. On the line, tackle Cam Thompson is coming off his best season at UNC, tackle Marvin Austin and end E.J. Wilson both started the majority of games last season, and Robert Quinn had 6.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and two forced fumbles.
Linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant both started every game last season, and the position is the deepest it's been in recent years. Carter led the team with 11 tackles for loss and Sturdivant led the nation with 87 solo tackles.
Georgia Tech running backs: Jonathan Dwyer, Roddy Jones, Anthony Allen, Marcus Wright -- so many players, only one football.
Georgia Tech secondary: Morgan Burnett, Rashaad Reid, Mario Butler, Dominique Reese, and Cooper Taylor all have experience, and the group also welcomes back Jerrard Tarrant from a suspension.
Virginia Tech running backs: Darren Evans and Ryan Williams are all the Hokies will need, but they've also got Josh Oglesby and Kenny Lewis Jr. as players they can count on.
Boston College secondary: The Eagles return DeLeon Gause, Wes Davis and Roderick Rollins, who have combined for 32 career starts. This should be the best group BC has had in a while.
Clemson defensive line: The Tigers return three starters across the front, and coach Dabo Swinney has said this unit could be the strength of the entire team. Ricky Sapp is the leader, senior Kevin Alexander is a returning starter, and there are really three starters returning for the two defensive end positions, including DaQuan Bowers, who started six games last year and finished with 47 tackles, the most among the linemen.
Miami wide receivers: Travis Benjamin, Aldarius Johnson, Thearon Collier, LaRon Byrd, Kendal Thompkins, Tommy Streeter ... the Hurricanes could field a team that consists entirely of receivers.
Florida State offensive line: The Noles are oozing with talent here. Tackle Andrew Datko, guard Rodney Hudson and center Ryan McMahon combined to start all but one game last season. What was the youngest offensive line in the FBS last season could be one of the best this year. For the first time since 2004, all five starters return.
Wake Forest offensive line: The Demon Deacons return eight offensive linemen with a total of 118 career starts among them. Jeff Griffin and Joe Birdsong are Wake's returning starters at tackle while Barrett McMillin and Joe Looney each started at guard in 2008. Russell Nenon, who started the season at guard, moved to center at midseason following an injury to Trey Bailey. Bailey returns after fully healing from a broken ankle. The Deacons also welcome back Chris DeGeare who missed the 2008 season while getting his academics in order.
Lending a helping hand in the ACC
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
There was some progress in the ACC this spring, and each team got a little bit of help at certain positions. Here's a look at who found some help this spring and where:
BOSTON COLLEGE: Marcellus Bowman and Wes Davis are two safeties who should help make the Eagles' secondary one of the best BC fans have seen in recent years. Four players return to the secondary with starting experience.
CLEMSON: It's amazing what a year of experience can do, and the Tigers' offensive line needed it. The only direction for this group to go is up, and it started to do that this spring. All five starters return.
DUKE: The return of running back Re'quan Boyette will give the Blue Devils' running game a more potent punch. He could be a difference maker on the field this fall, and Duke will need him to be.
FLORIDA STATE: Leading rusher Antone Smith is gone, but FSU fans can rest assured Jermaine Thomas and Ty Jones can carry the load for the Noles. Both had several breakaway runs this spring.
GEORGIA TECH: On a defense that lost its leaders up front, defensive end Derrick Morgan and safety Morgan Burnett established themselves as the new captains of the ship this spring, and they should be the Jackets' top two defenders.
MARYLAND: Phil Costa helped ease the transition of the graduation of longtime leader Edwin Williams at center. The Terps lost three starters up front and have four players in new positions, but Costa proved he can be the new leader of the group.
MIAMI: This "got help" award goes to new offensive coordinator Mark Whipple. He had an immediate impact on the offense this spring and has Jacory Harris' full attention.
NORTH CAROLINA: Da'Norris Searcy and Melvin Williams gave the staff some confidence in life without Trimane Goddard. Searcy played well in the Meineke Car Care bowl as a fifth defensive back and played with confidence this spring.
NC STATE: Mike Glennon answered the distress signal at backup quarterback, a position that had been exposed far too many times in the past. Glennon completed 23 of 38 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown in the Kay Yow Spring Game.
VIRGINIA: The return of Jameel Sewell at quarterback and addition of Vic Hall no doubt helped the Cavaliers. At this point last year, they didn't have one quarterback who had any starting experience. Now they've got three.
VIRGINIA TECH: Confidence grew in the linebackers this spring, and that's because of the efforts of Barquell Rivers and Jake Johnson. Bruce Taylor and Quillie Odom are still learning, but there was progress at this position.
WAKE FOREST: Kenny Okoro and Josh Bush both proved to be dependable players at a position that just lost Alphonso Smith. Okoro in particular stood out, but both of them got a lot of reps with Brandon Ghee out with an injury.
Q&A with Jeff Jagodzinski
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
|Rob Tringali/Sportschrome/Getty Images
|Jeff Jagodzinski says some things are easier for him now that he has one year under his belt.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- It is an absolutely perfect day here, about 77 degrees and sunny. I'm heading out to practice now, but first some excerpts from my interview with Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski Wednesday afternoon:
What have you learned about your team this summer?
JJ: They're a hard-working group of guys. They did everything I asked them to do. They stayed here both sessions of summer school. Our strength coach has put them through a workout like he's never put a team through before, just tougher, more demanding.
What was the biggest surprise of the summer, whether it was a player or a group that made significant progress?
JJ: Josh Haden did a really nice job this summer. Just being in the program since last January has really helped him. Actually, all of those guys that came in are going to have to contribute this year. They would've had a hard time doing it if they weren't here from last January.
Do you feel like your offense might be a little less one-dimensional because you're adding more of a mobile quarterback, more of a running game this year?
JJ: Let me point out something about our running game. Our short control passing game we consider runs here. Everybody was saying you didn't run the ball. Andre Callender had over 1,600 yards last year, total offense. He caught the ball ... every time he touched the ball he gained 10 yards. Now, do you want to hand it to him? Or do you want to throw it to him? That's our running game. I think that's skewed in the fact I'm not going to take it out of that quarterback's hands -- that would not be smart. But Andre still had close to 1,000 yards rushing last year. That was the best way we could use him last year.
Is Chris, though, a more mobile quarterback?
JJ: Oh yeah, we'll be able to use him in more play-action and movement type stuff more so than drop-back like we did last year, because that was not Matt's strength.
How much have you seen Chris develop as a leader, sort of taking ownership of this offense?
JJ: When you're never in that position, you can never blossom. [Offensive coordinator Steve] Logan and I were watching film the other day from his first spring scrimmage to where he is right now, it's night and day, just the way he takes command of the offense. Until you've done it, you haven't done it.
The same can be said, though, about his first season as starter, even though it's not like he hasn't played before.
JJ: He is a fifth-year freshman right now.
How much confidence do you have in that fifth-year freshman?
JJ: I've got as much confidence as I have in any starting quarterback. If he's your guy, he's your guy.
Is this an easier season for you because it's your second season?
JJ: As far as knowing what to expect it's a lot easier, and going through our guys knowing what I expect and how things are done the way I want the program to look, yeah, that was a lot easier. As a coach, it's a matter of getting the kids to buy into what you're doing and they did that early on last year and that's just continued.
How is the secondary looking?
JJ: To be honest with you, they are more athletically gifted than what we've had. As far as being football players, we're going to find out. But the guys that are taking Jamie Silva's spot are more athletically gifted than Jamie was. Jamie was an instinctive guy that made plays. We'll find out what these guys can do, [Marcellus] Bowman and Wes Davis.

Penguins continue to win despite setbacks
Penguins/NHL Videos
Another sellout crowd jammed antiquated Mellon Arena on Wednesday night, the Penguins' franchise-record 35th of the season and 48th consecutive.
Still, those loyal followers can't tell some of the players without a scorecard or, this being hockey, their trusty copy of "iceTIME: The Official Game Program of the Pittsburgh Penguins."
And even "iceTIME" is having a hard time keeping up.
Ryan Stone and Conner James were in uniform against the Sabres but were excluded from printed recognition.
That's the way it's been going of late for the Penguins.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Sidney Crosby was playing, but Petr Sykora wasn't.
As of yesterday afternoon, Crosby was out, but Sykora was back in.
If this keeps up, the Pens may have to ascertain whether Phil Bourque has any eligibility remaining.
In the meantime, they came up with a line of Jeff Taffe, Jarkko Ruutu and James.
Also available, if needed, was a threesome of Stone, Christopher Minard and Georges Laraque.
They didn't get a great deal of ice time together, seeing as how Minard never left the bench in the first 20 minutes, and Laraque earned a five-minute major and a game-misconduct penalty for elbowing 2:34 into the second.
The Pens won anyway, 7-3.
In the process, they extended their record around Crosby's bouts with a high ankle sprain to an increasingly inexplicable 12-6-4.
The Penguins didn't have Marian Hossa again, either.
But who needs Hossa -- or Crosby, for that matter -- when you have Tyler Kennedy scoring on a breakaway?
Who needs star-power when you have Taffe deftly deflecting in a shot from the point?
Who needs name recognition when Minard, eventually, scores his first career goal with the help of Stone's first career point?
Taffe's goal, his fifth, was scored nine seconds after the Buffalo power play that was generated by the Laraque major died a premature death thanks to a hooking penalty on Maxim Afinogenov.
Afinogenov had no choice but to haul down Jordan Staal. Such was the extent of the Penguins' domination of the first 3:52 of the 4-on-5 situation.
The Penguins were swarming the net while killing the penalty with such fervor that Hal Gill almost scored, twice.
And so it goes.
Ty Conklin was back in the nets for this one, leading the Pens onto the ice while leading the NHL in save percentage (.928) and with a higher winning percentage (.607) than any of the top 10-winningest goalies in the league this season.
He surrendered three third-period goals, which moved coach Michel Therrien no closer to publicly anointing a No. 1 goalie for the playoffs, which fits right in with the Penguins' figure-it-out-as-they-go-along theme to the season.
The Flyers are in town Sunday.
Someone will start, someone will back up and 18 bodies, presumably, will fill out the remaining 18 sweaters.
The Penguins will take it from there.

Beautiful Victoria
Victoria really is the city of flowers. There are over 2000 hanging flower baskets. Two trucks circle the city between 2:00 and 5:00AM watering all the baskets. Besides the hanging flower pots, there are gardens everywhere but none as spectacular as the Butchard Gardens. The Butchard family made their money producing Portland cement. The land they purchased on Vancouver Island had a deposit ...

Once there, most of us had bookings in various hostels, but the German tourist whose-name-I-can't-remember and me we didn't have anything. Then, with my usual luck regarding accomodation, the choices were: hostel #1, the best one, full; hostel #2 (where I stayed on my first trip, the only one then I believe) not as good and full; and hostel #3 where they had said by email that they still had room.
