Scholes: Özil needs a leader – and Arsenal don't have them
It brings it home to you how much Manchester United's rivalry with Arsenal has dwindled over the last 11 seasons when you tot up the head-to-head going back to the start of the 2004-2005 season. I make it 17 wins for United, five draws and six wins for Arsenal. Mind you, I'm including in those six Arsenal wins the 2004 Community Shield and the FA Cup final the following May that they won on penalties.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas anticipates limited activity at White Hart Lane on the final day of the transfer window - but admits midfielder Tom Huddlestone could leave the club.
Zeki Fryers and Lewis Holtby are the only arrivals so far this month and Villas-Boas does not expect any more.
"We look to be quiet in the market," the Portuguese said. "It's not impossible that a couple of things happen. It's highly unlikely.
"We need to add quality to the squad and our quality to the squad is keeping the players we have now and Lewis arriving."
There could be at least one departure, though. Huddlestone was not in the squad for last night's 1-1 draw at Norwich and has been allowed to speak to Fulham, the Spurs boss confirmed.
Villas-Boas added: "There was an interest from Fulham. I'm not sure if they're going to follow on that interest.
"We've allowed the club to speak to the player. He's a player we rate very highly."
Holtby made his debut as a second-half substitute at Carrow Road and impressed.
Villas-Boas added: "It was extremely good to see him out on the pitch. I think he had the right impact for such a short time."
Spurs were indebted to Gareth Bale for a point as the Welshman's wizardry conjured up an equaliser following a scintillating run, cancelling out Wes Hoolahan's 32nd-minute opener.
Villas-Boas described the goal as "beautiful", but was unhappy with Alex Tettey's attempt to halt Bale at the halfway line.
"Had the boy got on to Gareth's ankle, it's an injury that takes him out for six months," the 35-year-old said.
Opposite number Chris Hughton was perplexed by Villas-Boas' reaction.
"I'm surprised by that," the Norwich boss said. "The way that Bale went past him there didn't seem too much wrong with Gareth Bale to me. I don't think anybody got near him."
Hughton hopes to complete a deal for Leeds striker Luciano Becchio before the close of the transfer window.
The 29-year-old Argentinian has been identified as a player to enhance the Canaries' forward options.
Hughton said: "The clubs are in discussion and that's one that I hope gets done."
Steve Morison could move to Elland Road as part of the Becchio switch, while Norwich remain interested in Celtic's Gary Hooper, but Hughton was uncertain if a move could be thrashed out before the closure of the transfer window tonight.
"We have put in bids for him which have been turned down by Celtic," Hughton said.
A move for Kei Kamara from Major League Soccer's Sporting Kansas City is complete, subject to paperwork.
"I think he'll give us another dimension in the forward area," added Hughton, who insisted signing defender Curtis Davies was not on the agenda.
"I think that's probably speculation because of my association with Birmingham last season," he said.

Though I grew up in America, I have been visiting my family in Poland since I was a child. But it is only recently, since the great debate began two years ago between [Jan] Gross and [Timothy] Snyder over the causes and extent of Polish co-operation with the Nazis during the Holocaust, that I thought to ask the old people of my family village about what happened during the war. My grandparents mentioned bits and pieces of our family's World War II history over the years, but it often seemed too painful for them to recall, or as though they wanted the memories to simply be forgotten. When I finally decided to broach the topic with them, my grandmother repeated that she didn't understand why I cared to dig so deep into the past, why I cared so much about Wladyslaw and his story.[more inside]

The other Göring brother
In downtown Vienna under the Nazis, two members of the SA had decided to humiliate an old woman. A crowd gathered and jeered as the stormtroopers hung a sign bearing the words "I'm a dirty Jew" around the woman's neck. Suddenly, a tall man with a high forehead and thick mustache pushed his way angrily through the mob and freed the woman. "There was a scuffle with two stormtroopers, I hit them and was arrested immediately," the man later said in a matter-of-fact statement. Despite this open act of rebellion, the man was released immediately. He only had to say his name: Albert Göring, brother of Hermann Göring, the commander of the German air force and Hitler's closest confidant.[more inside]

"The City of Tomorrow, a model of Manhattan that Geddes created, in 1937, to promote Shell Oil Company's new "motor-digestible" gasoline, is often cited as [Futurama's inspiration.] But Futurama's beginnings actually harken back much further, to the meticulous, insanely detailed private games he created in the 1920s and early '30s for the amusement of his friends."

Claude Lanzmann
Those Americans who are familiar with the name Claude Lanzmann most likely know him as the director of "Shoah," his monumental 1985 documentary about the extermination of the European Jews in the Nazi gas chambers. As it turns out, though, the story of Lanzmann's eventful life would have been well worth telling even if he had never come to direct "Shoah." In addition to film director, Lanzmann's roles have included those of journalist, editor, public intellectual, member of the French Resistance, long-term lover of Simone de Beauvoir and close friend of Jean-Paul Sartre, world traveler, political activist, ghostwriter for Jacques Cousteau — I could go on, but it's a good deal more entertaining to hear Lanzmann himself go on, and thanks to the publication in English of his memoir, "The Patagonian Hare," we now have the opportunity to do so.

Bad news sports fans: Some store shelves are running low on Velveeta, right during a prime season for the popular processed cheese, according to a company spokeswoman. Credit: Kraft/Velveeta Facebook
What to make instead of queso during the Velveeta shortage By L.V. Anderson (c) 2013, Slate. Advertising Age reports that Kraft is experiencing both high demand for Velveeta and low supply because of "a plant issue" — leading to a shortage of its iconic pasteurized prepared cheese product in some areas on the East Coast. This is obviously devastating news for everyone who thinks the best part of watching the Super Bowl is the queso, and these people have taken to Twitter to virtually beat their breasts and gnash their teeth with the hashtag #Cheesepocalypse.
But is the Velveeta shortage really as bad as it seems? The neolexic portmanteau "cheesepocalypse" seems inaccurate for at least two reasons (not including hyperbole). For one thing, Velveeta can't even legally be labeled "cheese," in accordance with the FDA's standards of identity for dairy. For another, there are many kinds of legitimate cheeses — not to mention other processed cheese products — that have not (yet) been made scarce by the fickle dictates of supply and demand. Presumably a true queso fanatic could melt slices of American cheese with Ro-Tel for similar results. (NB: Please remove the paper lining from in between the slices of American cheese before attempting to melt.)
If you're more ambitious, or more flexible, there are many cheesy dip alternatives for your Super Bowl party. You could make a traditional queso, based on actual cheese, such as the queso blanco my colleague Dan Pashman and I sampled on the cheese episode of our food podcast: http://slate.me/1hwFUYM Or a rich yet restrained spinach-artichoke dip with cream cheese and Parmesan.
If those vegetable-rich options sound too suspiciously healthy, you still have options. One colleague recommends Food52's Nacho Cheese Sauce, which he describes as "disgusting-sounding but accurate, for people who like phantom movie-theater cheese": http://bit.ly/1hwG6ax (It calls for butter, heavy cream, buttermilk and Monterey Jack.) Another coworker likes Hormel's recipe for baked potato dip, which she says is superior to other versions because it contains both sour cream and cream cheese (plus cheddar): http://bit.ly/1aItuFn.
Or perhaps we should all take the Velveeta shortage as an opportunity to adapt our palates to vegan cashew cheese. Cheese, after all, has one of the highest carbon footprints of all animal products. And compared to the effects of global warming, the #Cheesepocalypse doesn't look very apocalyptic at all.
Melanie Hicken
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Bad news sports fans: Some store shelves are running low on Velveeta, right during a prime season for the popular processed cheese, according to a company spokeswoman.
Some consumers may be unable to find Velveeta products in the next couple of weeks, Kraft Foods Group spokeswoman Jody Moore said by e-mail Tuesday. She did not provide any specific reasons for the shortage.
"This is really a short-term situation that is more noticeable during our current period of increased seasonal demand," she said.
Known for its smooth texture that makes it ideal for dips and cheeseburgers, Velveeta is a popular eat for game-watching parties -- from college match-ups to the Super Bowl.
The shortage comes on the heels of a string of college bowl games, which culminated in Monday's BCS National Championship game between Florida State and Auburn, and in the midst of NFL playoff games.
And the Super Bowl, which for some Americans is as much about the snacks as it is the game, is less than a month away.
Kraft's statement came after AdAge reported a Velveeta shortage at some East Coast grocery stores. It's unclear if other regions are affected.
The company acknowledged time was of the essence to restock store shelves.
"We have not heard many complaints so far, but because we know Velveeta is a huge hit during football parties, we are doing everything we can to resolve any issues as soon as possible," Moore said.

Your Own Business
What you think of me of course is your own business and surely your own business cannot be mine
If you dislike me for whatever reason I can live with that for that does suit me fine
But if you say nice things of me all the better for kindness shown to us we should feel glad
At my stage of life I'm just happy to be living and in life we must take the good with the bad
The wise old bloke joe well into his eighties says life it does not owe us anything
'Tis the thought of death I only fear he tells me and the praises of life he's happy to sing
He is eighty six but he wants to keep on living to cancer eight years back he lost his wife
But he wants to live for as long as he can live for he is one who is in love with life
Although 'tis said what we dislike in others in our own selves these things we also see
But I'd much prefer the saying of live and let live it does surely make a lot more sense to me
What I think of others it is my own business and surely my own business is my own
One must sort of envy those who do have few to judge them the people who to many are not known
And what you think of me of course is your own business and your business it never can be mine
If you dislike me for whatever reason I can live with that and that does suit me fine.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Thanks in large part to center Ryan Kesler, the Vancouver Canucks' longest road trip of the season proved to be very successful.
Kesler scored his second goal of the game at 4:45 of overtime to lift the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues on Friday night. The Canucks went 5-1-1 on their seven-game trip.
"Day by day, it's a really good trip," Vancouver coach John Tortorella said. "Throughout the trip, we won in different ways.
"We kept our composure. We handled ourselves and stayed within ourselves. We know how long this trip has been."
The Blues agreed with Tortorella's assessment.
"They were playing their game, and they were right into it," Blues forward David Backes said. "It took a while for us to wake up. It's not acceptable. We needed two points."
The Canucks let a two-goal advantage slip away but managed to get to overtime. When it looked as though the game was headed for a shootout, Vancouver took advantage of a mistake.
With 33.6 seconds left in the extra session, Patrik Berglund was sent off for hooking Canucks forward Daniel Sedin.
Vancouver controlled the ensuing faceoff and scored on the 4-on-3 advantage when Kesler got the puck down low in the slot and swatted it past goalie Jaroslav Halak.
Kesler has seven goals on the young season, but he isn't satisfied.
"I can always improve," Kesler said. "I'm going to keep riding it. This trip has helped me a lot."
Backup goalie Eddie Lack made 22 saves in the win. Chris Higgins had Vancouver's other goal, and Mike Santorelli added two assists.
Alexander Steen had a goal and an assist for St. Louis, and Vladimir Sobotka also scored.

Unexpected presence of fructan 6-exohydrolases (6-FEHs) in non-fructan plants: characterization, cloning, mass mapping and functional analysis of a novel 'cell-wall invertase-like' specific 6-FEH from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

- Pichia expression
About 15% of flowering plant species synthesize fructans. Fructans serve mainly as reserve carbohydrates and are subject to breakdown by plant fructan exohydrolases (FEHs), among which 1-FEHs (inulinases) and 6-FEHs (levanases) can be differentiated. This paper describes the unexpected finding that 6-FEHs also occur in plants that do not synthesize fructans. The purification, characterization, cloning and functional analysis of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) 6-FEH are described. Enzyme activity measurements during sugar beet development suggest a constitutive expression of the gene in sugar beet roots. Classical enzyme purification followed by in-gel trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry (quadruple-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF) MS) led to peptide sequence information used in subsequent RT-PCR based cloning. Levan-type fructans (β-2,6) are the best substrates for the enzyme, while inulin-type fructans (β-2,1) and sucrose are poorly or not degraded. Sugar beet 6-FEH is more related to cell wall invertases than to vacuolar invertases and has a low iso-electric point (pI), clearly different from typical high pI cell wall invertases. Poor sequence homology to bacterial or fungal FEHs makes an endophytic origin highly unlikely. The functionality of the 6-FEH cDNA was further demonstrated by heterologous expression in Pichia pastoris. As fructans are absent in sugar beet, the role of 6-FEH in planta is not obvious. Like chitinases and β-glucanases hydrolysing cell-surface components of fungal plant pathogens, a straightforward working hypothesis for further research might be that plant 6-FEHs participate in hydrolysis (or prevent the formation) of levan-containing slime surrounding endophytic or phytopathogenic bacteria.

Sony Announces Puzziball Rolls to PlayStation Mobile Store
117w ago
- Heavy Spectrum's
Matt Birch
has announced that Puzziball is rolling into the PlayStation Mobile Store today.
To quote:
Heavy Spectrum
here. It's exciting to be talking to you all again so soon! After Bullion Blitz we've been working hard to get the second of our debut titles to the PlayStation Mobile store, and tomorrow you'll be able to check it out!
The game is Puzziball, and like our previous game Bullion Blitz, it came about from a desire to create something tactile and engaging. This time however, we focused on sliding your fingers and how that could translate into a game which "felt" like a physical object.
As with the first title, we iterated through many control ideas quickly, and the moment we felt things fall into place was when we combined dragging objects around the screen with the occasional flick of the device to "bounce" the playing area.
Inspired by vintage sliding block puzzle games (like the ones you had as a kid!), using this mechanic we devised a game that combined the fun factor of those classic games with modern twists to tax the brain.
So here it is - Puzziball, a dynamic puzzle with a ball trapped in a maze constructed of movable "sliders." The sliders are arranged in two layers,...

PlayStation Mobile: Sony XDev Announces Puzziball and Bullion Blitz
118w ago
- Heavy Spectrum's
Matt Birch
has announced news today of two new PlayStation Mobile games via Sony XDev, namely Puzziball and Bullion Blitz.
Below are the details, to quote: Today we'd like to announce the first fruits of our collaboration with Sony XDev - Puzziball and Bullion Blitz. We're really proud of them both and hope you guys will give them a go, and with any luck enjoy playing them!
The first of the two is Bullion Blitz, available to download today. This was a game born out of the idea that we wanted to take the simplest interaction possible - tapping the screen - and make something compelling out of it. "Digital bubble wrap", in effect - but with enough depth behind it to make it fun to play with for hours rather than minutes.
One of the big advantages of PlayStation Mobile was that it allowed us to try ideas quickly and really focus on finding a way to deliver that fun feeling that we wanted. After several attempts we found something that both felt nice and which we could build a deeper game experience with - and that we felt could live up to the high quality we associate with the PlayStation platform.
What we came up with was a bank vault filled with "ingots" that "pop" into a shower of coins when you touch them. Adding to that a mechanism...

One-third of the way into the season and the Fighting Irish still haven't played a complete football game. After sliding by Temple, Purdue and Michigan State without their best efforts, there's no room for mediocrity to creep into either side of the football's efforts. To beat the 14th ranked Oklahoma Sooners, Notre Dame will need to play four quarters of very good football.
"We have to do a better job of being consistent through four quarters. We haven't really put together those four quarters of really good football," head coach Brian Kelly said on Thursday. "We're going to need to do that against Oklahoma."
Coming to town is a Sooners team that just established its offensive rhythm with quarterback Blake Bell and then took a week off. The early bye week felt a little bit like a scheduling snafu, but it did allow standout cornerback Aaron Colvin to get healthy.
What type of team the Sooners actually are is still to be determined. After beating up Louisiana-Monroe, a disappointing West Virginia team and Tulsa, Oklahoma heads to Notre Dame looking to find out if it's got the type of team that can get Bob Stoops back to the BCS.
After downplaying the importance of this game for the past two weeks, Oklahoma offensive coordinator Jay Norvell let the cat out of the bag. "This is a special game," Norvell told the Oklahoman. "We'd be lying if we say it's just another game. It's not. You don't get to play in South Bend very often."
Let's walk through this week's Pregame Six Pack. Here are six tidbits, leftovers, fun facts, and miscellaneous musings before No. 22 Notre Dame and No. 14 Oklahoma take the field.
Getting the Sooners offense "off schedule" could be key on Saturday.
With an impressive depth chart at both running back and receiver, and a quarterback that's capable of doing damage both on the ground or through the air, the Sooners will be Notre Dame's most difficult challenge of the season from a personnel perspective.
But if Bob Diaco's defense wants to follow a script that already led them to victory once, they'll try their best to keep Oklahoma's offense "off schedule," tripping up the Sooners on first down and forcing them into difficult down and distances.
As we talked about already this week, first down is a key play for just about every team. Last year, the Irish defense made some big plays, limiting the Sooners offense and also getting them off the field by only allowing 4-of-14 third down conversions.
But with a balanced Sooner attack and the No. 4 ranked offense in terms of efficiency (according to the Fremeau Efficiency Index), the Sooners know they need to do a better job of keeping themselves in favorable down and distances.
"We've got to do a good job of making efficient plays on first down, whether it's running or throwing," Norvell said. "And in this game, it's important that you catch and you get upfield north and south and it's not fancy. It's just get upfield, get the yards you need, bang off pads and move on to the next play."
Sheldon Day might not be the only one battling an injury.
The good news for the Irish is that defensive end Sheldon Day is back and healthy, having a solid week of practice and pronounced ready to go by Kelly on Thursday, an impressive turn time by an important cog in the Irish's front seven.
But in a rare look behind the curtain this week, courtesy of UND.com's Strong and True video series, we saw some of the work that went into getting Cam McDaniel ready to play after fracturing his hand midweek in practice, and linebacker Dan Fox and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley battle through injuries.
Kelly talked about the job Stanley did to get back into the game after a painful hip injury. But news that Fox has been battling nagging injuries since fall camp might shed new light on why the fifth-year senior has been off to a particularly slow start.
It's difficult to tell what exactly is bothering Fox, but the senior linebacker will be counted on to play some important minutes against the Sooners. He's got the athleticism to be an asset in pass coverage underneath, where the linebackers are still a work in progress. Last year, Fox chipped in five tackles against Oklahoma, and had one very key pass break-up, which Manti Te'o ended up intercepting on a huge momentum changer.
Can Notre Dame contain the slot receiver?
Last week, Irish fans watched Michigan State's Macgarrett Kings backpedal into the end zone for an easy touchdown, beating safety Elijah Shumate so badly in man coverage that he could coast into the end zone.
Kings's touchdown against the Irish was hardly the only damage done by a diminutive slot receiver. All season, the Irish have struggled to slow down the inside receiving threats, taking advantage of schematic changes and beating man coverage from the start of the season.
Taking a run through the four box scores the Irish have produced this year starts to show some trends emerging. And waterbug sized, lightning quick receivers have really hurt Notre Dame's defense.
Against Temple, 5-foot-9, 175-pound Ryan Alderman had his best game of the season, leading the Owls with five catches for 65 yards against the Irish. Who can forget what Jeremy Gallon did to the Irish? The 5-8, 187-pound Wolverine had eight catches for 184 yards and three touchdowns to torch the Irish secondary. Against Purdue, it was 5-foot-9 Akeem Hunt would did most of the receiving damage, making nine catches for 72 yards and a touchdown. And Kings supplied one of the lone bright spots for the Spartans offense last Saturday.
All of that leads us to the Sooners' Jalen Saunders. Last year, Saunders racked up an astonishing 15 catches for 181 yards against Notre Dame. After wreaking havoc underneath the Irish defense, Saunders might do something far deadlier if he's given the chance against man coverage on Saturday.
Kelly and Bob Diaco have experimented with the Irish's secondary personnel, shifting Cole Luke, Elijah Shumate, Devin Butler and Lo Wood in and out, trying to find the right cover man. But the Irish might be better off not trying to run with Oklahoma's skill players, instead just throwing an umbrella over everything, using zone responsibilities to keep the play in front of them.
Can the Irish offense get out of the gate quickly?
Perhaps Irish fans were spoiled early. After starting the season opener with two picture perfect scoring drives, it's been rough sledding for the Irish to start games. Against Michigan, it was two three-and-outs, two punts and two scores for the Wolverines. Against Purdue it was worse, the Boilermakers marched down the field for a touchdown on the game's first drive before shutting down the Irish's first four drives. It was no better against Michigan State, with the Spartans getting a punt block on the first series of the game before watching the Irish offense sputter twice more.
With a crowd ready to carry the Irish if needed, the offense and defense will need to do their jobs, putting an early Irish score on the board and getting a few defensive stops while trying to get into rhythm with the speed of the Sooners.
"We've always talked about starting fast. It really hasn't been part of this group yet consistently," Kelly said. "But what they do is they finish really well, so I'd stick around if I were you, because they know how to finish games."
Finishing games isn't possible if you dig yourself too big of a whole. We witnessed that in Ann Arbor. It won't be possible against Oklahoma if the Irish aren't ready out of the gates.
Will the Irish finally do their best to establish the run?
Four games into the season and the Irish running game is still a mess. It doesn't appear to be the offensive line's fault, with the unit blending nicely, though succeeding mostly in pass protection. But against an Oklahoma 3-3-5 defense, can the Irish simply decide to run the ball and dictate tempo, or will they try and throw their way around bad defensive looks?
While Irish fans have screamed about trying to establish some offensive balance, the Irish head coach understands its importance, now it's just a matter of executing better.
"I think from an offensive standpoint, we've got enough balance," Kelly said. "We haven't run the ball effectively enough throughout four quarters. There are times where we've been effective — we won some football games late, Purdue in particular — where we've been able to run the ball to finish out a game. But we're not where we want to be in terms of running the ball effectively throughout the game, which is going to allow us to have a run-pass balance."
Notre Dame's running back depth chart features five backs — George Atkinson, Amir Carlisle, Cam McDaniel, Tarean Folston and Greg Bryant all listed as co-starters. The Irish haven't been able to establish more than one of them in a game yet this year. But it might make some sense to give it a try if it keeps the Sooners off the field.
For two of college football's most storied programs, this rivalry is awfully one-sided.
There is no more winning program in the modern era than Oklahoma. The Sooners have the most victories and best winning percentage of any program since World War II. But as two of college football's winningest programs get set to do battle, it's a good time to remind you that Notre Dame has just historically owned this match-up.
Notre Dame holds a 9-1 record in this series, beating the Sooners in 1952, 1953, 1957, 1961, 1962, 1966, 1968, 1999, and 2012. Outside of the Sooners' lone victory over the Irish, a 40-0 thrashing in 1956, the Irish have won seven straight in a span of seven decades, with the Irish beating a Sooners team ranked in the top 10 seven times in the ten meetings.
Notre Dame has dashed more Sooner dreams than just about any program, including Bob Stoops last visit to South Bend, when Jarious Jackson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as the Irish stormed back to score 20 unanswered points to win 34-30 over No. 23 Oklahoma.
That game became a defining moment in the Stoops era at Oklahoma, helping to set the tone for the Sooners return to the top of college football.
"More than anything, I remember us leading in the third quarter by 16 and looking around and seeing too many happy faces," Stoops said on Monday. "I felt there were too many guys who thought that they had this won, really realizing that we had not really learned how to truly compete yet for four quarters.
"I remember telling the coaches in meetings the next day, 'Listen, they hadn't been ahead of anybody like that on the road before. They don't know how to handle it and we've got to teach them how to handle it – teach them how to finish games and to win a game like that.'
"Those guys hadn't been in that situation."
It didn't take long for Stoops' team to learn from the disappointing loss. The Sooners won the national championship the next year.

Grace could have captain potential | |||
by Pete Sampson
Barely a week after his first start, linebacker Jarrett Grace has already been mentioned as a potential future captain. On a defense looking for leadership, that could be a major boost. |
Gone are Cody Riggs and Austin Collinsworth. Returning is a safety position that's struggled, another transfer, a young cornerback on the rise, and (hopefully) an exiled potential star.
Welcome to the Notre Dame secondary. New coaching, same scheme, different players, and one of 2015's great unknowns.
A position that looked like a huge question mark entering the 2014 season ended the year with an embarrassment of riches. After watching Will Fuller emerge with a record-setting sophomore season, the loss of DaVaris Daniels and departure of TJ Jones didn't do anything to slow the Irish passing game down.
All signs (still) point to Keith Gilmore as defensive line coach
Feb 24, 2015, 1:34 PM EST
None of Notre Dame's coaching changes are official yet. But more arrows point to North Carolina defensive line coach Keith Gilmore joining the Irish staff in the same role.
After an incredibly impressive run at the position, Notre Dame enters spring practice with nothing but question marks at tight end. After Brian Kelly watched Kyle Rudolph, Tyler Eifert, Troy Niklas and now Ben Koyack churn through his program, he'll spend spring trying to figure out what exactly he has at the position.
With smoke circling Gilmore and Denson, coaching staff coming into focus
Feb 18, 2015, 11:47 AM EST
On Tuesday, a flurry of reports had Brian Kelly focusing in on the final pieces of his reshuffled coaching staff. They include two likely additions, one transition, and a position shift.
After missing out on a running back in the 2014 recruiting cycle, a once crowded depth chart now only features Tarean Folston and Greg Bryant. Two backs that once worried about having to find snaps will now have all the work they could ever want, with the majority of spring spent doing everything they can to stay healthy.
One of the most impressive statistical seasons in school history was flushed down the toilet when Everett Golson could not stop turning the football over. With fumbles, poor decision-making and some plain bad luck plaguing Golson's otherwise exceptional season, Brian Kelly chose Malik Zaire to be his starter for the Music City Bowl.
Boise State's Mike Sanford reportedly joining Notre Dame's staff
Feb 11, 2015, 1:38 PM EST
Just days after losing Tony Alford, it looks like Brian Kelly is making a large move on his offensive coaching staff. Multiple reports have Boise State offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Sanford joining Notre Dame's offensive staff.

A Nobel laureate has proposed shooting sulfur into the atmosphere as an emergency measure to curb global warming. The short-term fix would not solve the problem, but would buy some time by temporarily reflecting some of the sun's energy away from the planet.
In the wake of 9/11, the parent company of Western Union gave the FBI information on financial transactions and wire transfers, Ron Suskind charges in his new book, "The One Percent Doctrine."
The author of the controversial new book "The One Percent Solution" charges in a TV interview that American forces purposely bombed the Arabic-language TV station in Kabul, Afghanistan, to "send a message."
Contrary to the official "diplomatic solution" line, Seymour Hersh reports that Washington is stepping up plans for a possible airstrike on Iran. According to Reuters, Hersh's story in the April 17 issue of The New Yorker reports that a former senior defense official said the planning was, in Hersh's words, "based on the belief that a bombing campaign against Iran would humiliate the leadership and lead the Iranian public to overthrow it." The ex-official reportedly added that he was shocked to hear the strategy.
