I am looking to find out some games in pgn/cbh format played by GM's against substantially below rated players(say 1200-2000).The only games I found out is some 20 games played in ICC charity simul by anand few years ago.Is there any collection of games of simul/exibition/casual to have?
I'm sure there's a book out with that title. Also The Amatuer's Mind by Jeremy Silman has games with an IM v amatuers.
There's a book with that very title an it's exactly what you're looking for.
It starts out with 1200 players and moves up to IM I think.
If you have Chessbase you can construct a filter. When the filter screen comes up, select the rating range for the amateurs - say, 1600-2000 ELO for "One" player- and nothing else, just click "OK". Then filter those results by setting the range at 2200-2800 for "One" again, and it should give you all the games with one master and one amateur.
The Euwe & Kramer book Chess Master vs Chess Amateur is very good at illustrating the typical mistakes in thinking strong amateurs make. They were one of the best writing teams in chess.

The dance movements, predominantly from upstage to downstage, are cut by a lone dancer who enters consistently from the opposite-prompt side of stage in a series of incomplete crossovers - "a soul swimming at cross currents in a sea of inexplicable emotions".

Back homeA Warning From Stephen Hawking On Artificial Intelligence
22/12/2014"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be – wait, no, what am I saying? Nah, that could never happen. Forget I even brought it up.

27/11/2014out along the cygnus wall
where great star factories roam
a trillion miles from nowhere
is a place that we call home
and it's not much to live on
but it's mighty grand to see
a nice place to think about
but a nicer place to be
you'll find worlds by the thousands
of every kind and size
kingdoms made of diamonds
bright heavens made of sighs
cold hells made of heartaches
colder hearts made of stone
find anything you want
when you call the wall your home
no one lives forever
yet no one really dies
when your heart's in the heavens

Addendum to "Lauren's Choice"
30/06/2014I've been asked, "But what about adoption for unwanted children?"
To that I say:
and even more
That is the best, most humane solution to the problem of a woman's unwanted pregnancy. It's a perfect example of "pony up". Give that child a stable, loving home. Raise it to its full potential. Personally assume that responsibility.
A blessing for the child
A blessing for the parent
A blessing for the society
Lauren's Choice
30/06/2014Cartoonist Lauren Weinstein was told that the child she was carrying had a high (1-in-4) chance of carrying the cystic fibrosis gene to such an extreme degree that it might require a lung transplant before age 5. Weinstein tells the story of her nerve-wracking three week wait to find out if this would be the case in her story "Carriers" (parts one / two / three / four / five).
Major Spoiler:
It has a happy ending and
her daughter was born
disease free.
Many reading her story will rejoice, but say to themselves,
"If it had been me, I would have never even thought of terminating my pregnancy."
Good for you.
I mean that.
I want you to have a choice.
Just like I want Lauren to have a choice.
Just like I want billions of other women to have a choice.
Because nobody knows what is best for a woman and the pregnancy she is carrying other than that woman herself.
She gets to make her own decisions.
Just as you get to make your own decisions.
She's certainly entitled to seek medical advice and/or moral support from others, but in the end, she is the one who has to either see it through to a live birth or terminate it.
It is, quite simply and quite literally,
And I drop the f-bomb very deliberately & in its sexual context to get the point across:
Not your uterus,
not your problem,
not your responsibility,
most certainly not your business,
not now,
not ever.
If you're serious about wanting to reduce the number of abortions in the world today, see to it that birth control is reliable, available, and inexpensive (free would be best; we can pay for it with the money we would otherwise spend incarcerating unwanted/abused/neglected children who grow up to be addicts and/or felons).
See to it that sex education is universal, pragmatic, sensible, and easy to understand. Wishful thinking, no matter how devoutly inspired, does not trump science or the realities of human nature. Be prepared for and compassionate to people who make messy mistakes; there but for the grace of God…
See to it that no mother ever has to worry about affording a safe place to raise her child, or how she will feed her child, or pay for her child's health care, or her child's education (you can slice a fraction off the defense budget for this; we can somehow squeak by with only 999 new jet fighters instead of 1,000).
Pony up…
…or shut up.
thanx to
Tom Spurgeon,
The Comics Reporter,

The Anti-Abortionist Credo
30/06/2014I forbid you to have sex without MY permission.
I forbid you to know anything about birth control.
I certainly won't pay for your sex education.
If you defy ME and have sex anyway,
then I want you to get pregnant / catch the clap (or better yet, AIDS!).
I forbid you to have an abortion.
I will judge you and call you a murderer if you do.
I demand you bring the pregnancy to full term.
I demand you bring the pregnancy to full term
even if the child will be born with a fatal condition.
I demand you bring the pregnancy to full term
even if you already have a house full of children and
you are stretched to the breaking point.
I demand you spend 18 years of
your life (minimum!) taking care of this child.
I will not help you.
I will not offer any financial subsistence.
I will not lift a finger or spend a dime of MY money to help you provide
food / lodging / medical care / education for the child.
I demand you suffer for your sins.
However, you may not judge ME.
Because just by saying I oppose abortion,
just by condemning you for your choices,
I am pure and holy.
(Did I miss anything?
Did I not summarize our
position accurately?)
Did PLANET OF THE APES Revive Creationism?
10/04/2014Serious question:
Did the original Planet Of The Apes movie revive the fading creationist movement by unintentionally preying on the racial fears of rural and suburban white Christians?
Planet Of The Apes was one of four major ground-breaking / trend-setting sci-fi media concepts that landed within an 18-month period of one another in 1967-68.[1] It was the biggest popular hit of the quartet, launched a successful series of features, a not-so-successful live-action TV series, a somewhat more successful animated series, numerous novel spinoffs, comic books, and a host of imitators and rip offs.
Then as now the film was viewed (at least on one level) as a parable of American racial politics, with the apes implicitly understood to represent the downtrodden finally getting the upper hand over the previously dominant white culture.[2]
Michael Wilson and Rod Serling's script followed the lead of Pierre Boulle's original novel to show a satirical (albeit not particularly humorous) view of "normalcy" turned upside down. In many cases it was done by showing humans used the way we use animals: For taxidermy, research, and sport. In others, it was an implicit criticism of dominant white culture with the promise / warning: "You'll get what's coming to you."
While the apes were presented as antagonists in the first two films of the series[3], African-American audiences tended to sympathize with them more than they did with stalwart Chuck Heston (even before his NRA days).
By the times Escape From… and Conquest Of… rolled around, the identification of African-Americans with the apes was clearly overt (albeit it in a sympathetic and not denigrating manner). Conquest in particular hammers the apes / slavery issue home with a 12-lb sledge, and it's pretty hard to whip up any sympathy with (predominantly white) humanity in either of those two films.
Recognizing this, and desiring the success of the series to continue, 20th Century Fox watered down the message in the fifth and final film of the original series, Battle For The Planet Of The Apes, which ends in a bright future where apes, humans, and mutants co-exist peacefully and happily.
That vision of the ape-ocalyptic future flopped miserably at the box office and the films series ended, tho it continued thriving on the small screen and in comics with the original potent message.
It's hard for modern audiences to understand the impact of these films when first unleashed from 1968-73. First off, nothing quite like this had ever been seen before. The closest anyone might have come to it is The Wizard Of Oz with its myriad of bizarre cultures in an even more bizarre world, but that was a fairy tale and not meant to be taken seriously. With the exception of a few post-apocalypse movies that featured mutants in cheesy make-up, nobody had ever tried to create not one but three entire species of realistic non-human characters for a film, complete with costumes, props, and buildings designed with apes in mind.[4]
And despite the nervousness of the studio, producer Arthur P. Jacobs & co. pulled it off with remarkable aplomb. There had been serious sci-fi films before Planet Of The Apes, to be sure, but Apes was one of the first that easily crossed over into main stream audiences instead of relying primarily on the (admittedly growing) sci-fi fan base.[5]
But the cinematic / literary / pop culture impact was only a small fragment of what the world of 1968 – especially the United States of America – was going through at that time.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was only four years old at the time Apes was released.
Had the nation not been in a period of shock and mourning in the aftermath of President Kenney's assassination, conservative southern politicians would have probably blocked the act until the 1970s.
The nation was only four years away from segregated bathrooms, segregated diners, segregated water fountains. Loving v Virginia was only one year old!
African-Americans were still pretty much invisible in their native land. They were starting to make a few token appearances in TV shows and movies[6] but they were far from ubiquitous.
Planet Of The Apes, without directly referring to the apes as analogs for African-Americans, pretty much forced audiences to draw that unavoidable parallel.
And, yeah, there were some who sneered and hooted and derided contemporary blacks by likening them to the monkeys on the silver screen…
…but the inescapable conclusion was that
those damned monkeys were in charge!
…and things were not going to be
so rosy for Mr. Whitey in the future.
This was the first time a lot of white people were forced to realize that the times, they were a'changin' and what they were changing into was not going to resemble the world they grew up in where everyone knew (and kept) their place.
Planet Of The Apes did not present its topsy-turvy world as one laid down by divine fiat, a wrathful God punishing sinners by letting apes rule over them.
Planet Of the Apes said pretty plainly that humans – white humans in particular – were not fit to survive, and that a more vigorous, more capable breed was going to take over.
That was classic evolution,
and there wasn't a damned thing
white humanity could do about it.
Creationism was not unheard of or even unargued in the late 1960s, but it was pretty much losing its steam. Evolution existed; there was no denying genetic changes in various species with common ancestors, and even prehistoric humanity had been guiding evolution along for their domestic plants and animals ("survival of the fittest" in this case meaning those most fit to serve humans). Creationists were pretty much giving up on the new earth / six literal twenty-four hour days version of creation and instead arguing what is now referred to as Intelligent Design (only with God explicitly in control).
Their basic point was that God had a plan, and that everyone in the world was assigned a place in that plan, and if God ordained one race to be the masters leaders and another to be the slaves servants workers helpers then who are we to argue with God?
Planet Of The Apes pretty much says God is no respecter of species, much less persons, and in fact famously ends with Heston ranting and screaming that God has rightfully damned humanity for being a buncha murderous self-centered pricks.[7] It was a pretty shocking ending for mainstream audiences at the time[8] and has been lampooned so often and so successfully that contemporary audiences have no idea just how chilling it was to Joe Six-Pack and Mrs. & Mrs. Suburbia.
…especially in light of the ongoing societal change / upheaval and
the rapid advancements in civil rights by African-Americans.
Mind you, the majority of white audiences seeing the film for the first time were not racists in the classic sense of the term: They burned no crosses, lynched no victims.
But they kinda liked the fact that they got to live over here while those people had to live over there, and while many of them knew and genuinely liked black folks they encountered daily, few of them realized they held a protected and privileged position that was paid for by the sufferings of others.
Apes kinda sunk home the message that there might not be a soft landing for their genteel lifestyle, that rude awakenings and abrupt changes may be the order of the day.
And yeah, Planet Of The Apes is at heart a big budget goofy Hollywood movie, with a whole bunch spectacle & action and a smattering of smarts, not really the sorta thing that can withstand close logical scrutiny for long…
…but that didn't matter.
The message is what mattered.
And the message was: Time's up. Things are changing.
A lot of people did not like that change.
They rendered lip service to it, but were willing to do so only so long as things didn't change for them.
Now, when faced with major changes in one's life, there are two basic approaches one can take:
You acknowledge the change even if you don't willingly embrace it; life may get rough but at least you'll be prepared for it and it won't catch you by surprise.
The other is to double down on the old system, to bet the heart transplant money that the way things are is The Way Things Are Meant To Be, and that if you just hold fast this faddish craze of modernity will pass and things will once again be good and wholesome and sweet with you in the driver's seat, just like when you were a child and your father was a child and your great-great-great grandfather was a child.
It's no accident that the big push towards homeschooling – which originally began among hippy-dippy parents looking to raise their children outside the conforming standards of the dominant class public schools – took off among rural and/or white and/or conservative religious fundamentalists in the south and midwest during this period.[9]
And it's no accident that creationism takes – nay, demands – a centerpiece of that movement.
Because creationism allows the believer in it to deny the humanity of others, to deny their rights, to deny their equality.
Creationism allows the believer to dismiss all claims for justice with a derisive "God doesn't want that" and never examine the basics of the question.
Creationism, as has been pointed out, is the handmaiden of Mammon, the self-righteous belief that one's personal enrichment is God's master plan for the universe, that every sub-atomic particle in every atom in every molecule of every speck of dust and wisp of gas up to and including the hugest of stars exists solely for the purpose of making your life materially easier and more comfortable…
…and maybe the lives of your immediate family as well…
…and perhaps even a few of your closest friends…
…but certainly not the lives of them – and especially if making their lives any easier requires you to give up an hour of TV or some outrageous demand like that.
Planet Of The Apes is downright terrifying
to people with that mind set.[10]
Small wonder so many conservative whites willingly and eagerly embrace a disproven anti-intellectualism that denies the reality of the world around them, because embracing that fantasy makes it possible to deny the change going on around them.[11]
Like little children threatened by a big mean dog, they sincerely believe if they squinch their eyes closed reeeeeeeeal tight that it will go away.
No, one single silly movie does not a religious heresy make, and in a different time it's doubtful that the film would have had much more impact than as a popcorn muncher (much like the recent remakes and sequels have landed with resounding thuds).
But one thing Planet Of The Apes sure did was to give millions of scared white people a very very frightening glimpse of a future where they would no longer be in charge, when the first would indeed be last, and the low would be risen high.
And rather than embrace that spiritual truth, they flock to a self-serving myth that not only will fail to protect them, but will make the eventual change that much more painful for them.
As for me,
like Mark Twain wrote:
When it's steam boat time,
you steam boat.
[1] It isn't an exaggeration to say the shadows from these projects – both in film, TV, comics, and other media as well as literary and other pop culture influences – is still being cast today. The other three were the original Star Trek TV series, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Barbarella. Of the four, Barbarella received the worst response from the public, a critical drubbing, and a commercial flop…and yet each year a loyal cult grew and grew around this film. Today it's a fondly remembered classic of the era and has aged better than the other four. Go figure…
[2] I may be wrong, but I can't remember any African-American actors among the primitive humans in the original film, not unless one counts the ill-fated astronaut who ended up lobotomized.
[3] Tho who wasn't an antagonist in Beneath The Planet Of The Apes? It's the only major studio Hollywood production ever to end with the hero thinking that blowing up the entire planet was A Real Good Idea.
[4] The world of the final film was much different that the original concept and script. Jacobs originally wanted a world like the one in Boulle's novel with full size cities, cars, and helicopters designed for apes. By scaling the size back to a few isolated middle-sized towns with low grade industrial age technology, the film actually became more convincing than a modern version. An exact ape parallel to our own world would have only invited laughter, but changing it significantly enough while still leaving it basically recognizable helped sell the idea to audiences.
[5] And basically, because of all the projects of that era, Planet Of The Apes offered the one concept that every body in the audience, including the dullest witted, got right away: The five-fingered shoe is now on the other foot.
[6] And more importantly, cast in commercials as users of the product being sold, not servants making white folks' lives easier, thus tacitly acknowledging them as part of the American fabric and not just an accessory after the fact.
[7] …or words to that effect…
[8] No matter than we fan boys saw it marching down the avenue from the moment the film started talking about archeological digs involving humans.
[9] No, I am not saying Planet Of The Apes was responsible for that; it was the general societal upheaval of the late 60s and early 70s that scared much of the mostly white religious right into fleeing society with the hopes of one day leading a counter-rebellion against it.
[10] And mind you, screenwriters Michael Wilson and Rod Serling managed to have their Darwinian cake and theologically eat it as well: A strong argument could be made for the film as the mene mene tekel uparsin of mainstream American values, a judgment handed down from on high and executed with our own hands around our own throats – but holding to that argument requires denying human supremacy in general and American exceptionalism in particular and recognizing both our personal and national sins and shortcomings and, hey, who wants to believe that becuz America! Right? Right?!?!?
[11] And embracing it not in a little way but going all out: None of this namby-pamby "God created the universe billions of years ago and guides the natural processes in it" but "Bang! Done! Full and complete in six twenty-four hour days and you can't change it – ever!"
Beauty Is Where You Find It
25/02/2014Looks nice, doesn't it? This long exposure photo was taken by Cui Yongjiang in rural Yunnan Province in southwest China. Look at the soft glow of the village lights…the way the stars reflect off the terraces of water…
Wanna see what the area looks like in daylight?
Quite a difference, huh?
So, is beauty an illusion,
an artificial construct of the mind?
Or is it always there, and
we just have to have the wisdom
to know where to look for it and
the patience for it to present itself…

Bertrand Russell's Decalogue
20/02/2014Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate, might be set forth as follows:
- Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
- Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
- Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
- When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
- Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.
- Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.
- Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
- Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.
- Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
- Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.

Sunsets, Who Can Explain 'Em?
6/02/2014Creationism is one of the last sick remnants of slavery. In the days before the Civil War, northern Christian abolitionists cited the Golden Rule as reason to do away with slavery.[1] Southern slave owners funded preachers and teachers who countered with literal readings of the Bible to not merely justify slavery but to denigrate African-Americans as inferior because they were descended from Ham, Noah's son who was punished for telling his brothers that their father got drunk and was lying naked in his tent. [2]
The result was southern and rural western and midwestern churches (as dispossessed southerners moved out after the Civil War) who held to a false doctrine of Biblical literalism.[3]
Recently the creationist position was brutally sodomized mercilessly gutstomped given a pants down spanking bitch-slapped to a faretheewell demonstrated to be sadly lacking humiliatingly defeated bested in a much publicized debate.
We won't go into that because others have done it better.
But I do want to touch on part of the fallout, specifically this lady's question from the creationist side.
The sunset question gets quite fascinating when you start to unpack it.
For starters, you can't have a "sunset" without an observer:
Planets rotate all the time but unless someone is actually there to observe it there's no sunset to see.[4]
Further, a sunset is not so much a noun as a verb; it is more of an event than a thing. Observers on Earth placed a hundred miles apart on an east-west line would not see the same thing: One could still be in daylight, another in night while the one in the middle enjoyed the view.
Set them up on a north-south axis and while the rotation of the planet may cause the sun to appear to dip behind the horizon, one observer many be in a cloudless area and see nothing spectacular, another much further to the south may be in an overcast area and not even be able to see the sun, while someone between the two might have the optimum blend of light and just the right kind / number of clouds to observe a spectacular show.
Further still, enjoying a sunset is something pretty much limited to people with unimpaired vision: A terribly nearsighted person might perceive a smudge of color, a color blind person would see only shades of purple and grey, a blind person wouldn't see anything at all (though they might sense the passing of the warmth of the sun's rays on their skin).
Even humans with perfect (for our species) 20-20 vision are at a disadvantage. We see only three colors; our good friend the mantis shrimp sees sixteen! No human can even imagine what the mantis shrimp's world must look like because no human is capable of visualizing those colors.[5]
Further further still, only a human could look at a sunset and say "That's beautiful." A camera can record the light and the position of the sun and clouds relative to that vantage point on Earth, but a camera conveys no meaning. A person with no sense of aesthetics might see colors and details but not be able to put them together as "beauty", likewise a person under some form of psychological stress might not appreciate the beauty that overawes their companion.
Clearly, the beauty of a sunset has much less to do with the Earth's atmosphere and sun than it does with the state of consciousness of the observer.
Which, when you think about it,
is a pretty apt metaphor for
the religious experience.
We, and the materialists,
are experiencing the same set of sensory inputs;
we are just processing them differently.
This does not have to be a needless either/or proposition; there is nothing incompatible with faith in a a great metaphysical being/spirit/concept that is responsible for/links together everything in our universe and an understanding of the physical mechanics of that universe.[6]
So, yeah, in a very real sense only God can make a sunset insofar as no religion postulates a theology where human consciousness is not in some fashion intrinsically linked to the divine.
[1] On the basis that since nobody wants to be a slave, ergo it must be wrong to own slaves.
[2] Slave owners plied both sides of the street, citing Darwin as biological proof to justify slavery.
[3] Personally, I prefer the term "plain text reading" as opposed to "literal" or even worse, "inerrant". "Inerrant" means the theological teachings are without error, not that every word is literally true, but sloppy usage has confused the two terms in the minds of most people. Using the term "plain text reading" allows one to study the particular passage for its inherent meaning without requiring it to be 100% factual.
[4] And, technically, our sun never sets; it's a relative fixed point to the real motion of the Earth, although the Sun itself and the Milky Way galaxy are all traveling through space on their own. I suppose ala Pitch Black there may be some double or triple star systems where one member actually does move behind another at some point, but that's another topic for another time…
[5] Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, and William S. Burroughs excepted.
[6] The people who do make it incompatible generally tend to have a host of other hoops they require you to jump through for their benefit.

The House debated the CPC budget late Wednesday, which heard House Democrats support their proposal for higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations to help fund expanded federal priorities.
"We need to invest in human capital, education, first-class infrastructure and cutting edge technologies," Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) said. "This is the kind of thinking that built a successful economy in the past, and it is the real roadmap to prosperity."
But Republicans rejected the CPC budget as a plan that ignores the fiscal crisis.
"The difference between the two is that the Republican plan reduces the deficit by reorganizing our government services in a much more efficient and streamlined structure, saving trillions of dollars, while the Progressive Democrats would radically increase spending, supported by $6.8 trillion in new taxes over the next decade," said Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.).
Following the CPC vote, the House was due to debate two last budget alternatives before likely approving the one put forward by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) — one from ranking Budget Committee member Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and one from the Republican Study Committee.

New test for defects in unborn children
by Michael Cook | 18 Oct 2005 | Link
This development could pose some ethical conundrums. If it becomes widely available, it will certainly be used to detect and abort more children with birth defects. It could also be used for sex selection. Parents could also obtain a genetic profile of their baby and see whether it will be susceptible to a genetic disease at some stage in its life.

Pretty headboard Danielle from Long Beach Township, NJ– Verified Buyer This headboard is very beautiful and well-made particularly give the price. I purchased this with the intention of not using the footboard and side rails since I was unable to find a way to purchase just the headboard alone. To modify the headboard to be used without the side rails, we needed to purchase brackets which was not a big deal. They can be found on Amazon.com or at Sleepys. |
gorgeous Valerie from Thornwood, NY– Verified Buyer This is a beautiful and sturdy bed. It takes a bit of time to assemble but looks great! It is a small scaled bed, not chunky or oversized. |
Love this bed lilolmay from Orange County, Ca. I have owned this bed for over two years, and I love it. My six year old can destroy anything, so I was afraid that the rattan would not hold up, even matchbox cars and a cat with claws have not damaged it one bit. I adore my bed. [...]I emailed Night and Day right away, and they sent it immediately, no questions asked. I could not be happier with my purchase. |
Good looks and quality Jen from Hampton, NH– Verified Buyer The bed frame and headboard is attractive. The materials seem to be of good quality. The company has a smart system to ensure that all hardware is included. It was pretty easy for my husband and I to put it together. I don't think it took more than 30 minutes. I'm totally satisfied. |

Texas Longhorns

Longhorn players not ready to give up yet
By Max Olson
AUSTIN, Texas -- Mack Brown was trying to make sense of a lopsided home loss.
It was Sept. 14. After losing 44-23 to Ole Miss, Brown tried to espouse hope and confidence about leading a troubled two-loss Texas team on a Big 12 title run. At some point during the discussion, he was asked what fans should think about where the program is heading.
"Forget the coaches, come for the kids," Brown said. "Come for the young guys who are really trying, and come watch them try to beat Kansas State, which we haven't done very often. They just need to keep supporting the players."
Steve Edmond (left) and Texas' defense will have to regroup quickly with games against Texas Tech and Baylor to close the season.
They kept trying. Texas beat Kansas State. Then the Longhorns beat five more Big 12 teams, and that goal of a conference title got more real and tangible on a weekly basis.
The goal seems long gone now, after Oklahoma State sent the Longhorns crashing back to reality with a 38-13 loss, but it isn't. Texas can claim a share of the conference if it wins out. And once again, that's all the Longhorns are clinging to after a loss that sincerely shocked some players.
"I'm very surprised. As a team, we had some momentum," safety
Adrian Phillips
said. "We had a close game last week, and we had a good week of practice. On game day, everything didn't work out the way that we wanted it to, and these are one of the ones you wish you could have back. It's not a good feeling."
Such a thorough loss like that stings. The victory over No. 12 Oklahoma was Texas' signature win of 2013, no doubt about that, but it seemed those six victories were building toward an opportunity like this. A top-15 team had to come to DKR, its Big 12 title hopes on the line. For Texas, the table was all set for this moment.
And it slipped away quickly. The Longhorns dropped out of the polls one week after entering. A Big 12 title is attainable but Texas no longer controls its own fate. An upset of No. 4 Baylor in Waco on Dec. 7 is now an absolute necessity.
"It was frustrating, but we can't get too down," sophomore defensive tackle
Malcom Brown
said. "We still have two more games going into the Big 12 championship. We have to stay focused and go play Texas Tech like we didn't even lose."
For players like fourth-year seniors Phillips and cornerback
Carrington Byndom
, there was unmistakable encouragement. They've had to pick themselves up and keep going before and will do it again.
"It was a bit of a shock," Byndom said, "but that's just called the game of football."
Last time the Longhorns lost, though, they followed through on what they vowed. The post-Ole Miss promises worked. Improvement happened, leadership emerged. Texas' offense found a way to win without
David Ash
. Its defense is getting by without
Jordan Hicks
The circumstances have changed plenty since Sept. 14. Guard
Trey Hopkins
conceded after OSU that there's no margin for error now. There are no easy games left.
Texas is on a bye week before hosting Tech on Thanksgiving. The Longhorns have plenty of time to regroup. There is plenty of time to review the Oklahoma State film, and plenty more to move past it.
But perhaps in this stressful off time, they'll think back to September. Back then, folks were questioning if this was Mack Brown's next 5-7 team. Texas players were determined to prove just how wrong that fear was.
Now they're facing what could be a similarly unsatisfactory finish.
"It's a setback, but it's a setback for a major comeback. That is what we say," running back
Joe Bergeron
said. "Honestly, it is just a speed bump in the road and we will get over this. We still have two more games and we just have to get everybody to understand it is not the end of the world."
Nor is it the end of the season. The Longhorns have six more days to figure out what they're going to do about that.

Incoming Manchester United manager David Moyes has described Wayne Rooney as an 'exceptional talent' amid reports he is set to hold talks with the striker.
Rooney's recent transfer request is likely to present Moyes with his first major challenge when he replaces Sir Alex Ferguson as United boss in the summer.
Moyes worked with Rooney at Everton, handing him his first-team debut as a 16-year-old in August 2002 before selling him to United two years later.
An issue regarding claims made by Rooney in his autobiography about Moyes was settled several years ago and reports have claimed that the current Everton manager has spoken to Ferguson and Ryan Giggs regarding the latest situation.
Speaking to the Cambridge Union Society on Monday night, Moyes praised Rooney and described him as the 'last of the classic street footballers'.
"When he left Everton, he was already an outstanding player," said Moyes.
"Some of the things he used to do in training, we would stand back and look at each other as if to say, 'How did he do that?' He was and is an exceptional talent.
"Wayne was brilliant in some of the stuff he did. He was football mad. Every training session he would run out, volleying the ball everywhere. Staff would exchange glances that suggested, 'Can you believe that?'
"Wayne was the last of the classic street footballers. As a 16-year-old he could have left training and then gone out into the street with his pals, thinking nothing of it. You would see him in the street, hitting a ball against the walls.
"Part of that culture has gone but, coming from Glasgow, I knew what it was like. He was the last of that kind of player I have worked with."

Scotty McCreery Reaches High in His Quest for the 'American Idol' Title (Video)
Assuming everybody remembered to tune in, they were treated to three songs each by the finalists, and even a special performance by a former 'Idol' winner.
The final round of singing featured new songs that would become the respective singles of Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina should they win the competition. But we have a sneaking suspicion both songs will get released anyway.
McCreery was given 'Love You This Big,' which was a little kitschy in the title and premise, but allowed him to showcase both the low end and the higher end of his register; a fact that was appreciated by judge Randy Jackson.
"Scotty, you are here, you are in it to win it," he said. "It is game time. And dude, I'm proud of you because you've grown through this contest, and that was a brilliant vocal."
The judges seemed keen to give the edge for the night to Alaina, though they admitted it was by the slightest of margins. It's hard to discount McCreery's tremendous fan base.
Will he be the fourth young guy in a row to win 'American Idol,' or can Alaina break up the boys club.

I hope Scotty wins; they sure did their collective best to throw him under the bus today. I was a James fan but Scotty was consistent, not like Lauren. They're hoping for another Carrie Underwood so they've pushed Lauren in our face this time.

Two things were missing from tonight's show -- James and Haley. I have nothing against Country music but this show was horrible. It was like the Grand Ol Opry without the fun. I liked Scotty's Gone when he did it before but this one was really dry. Neither one of them have any real effective range which is why Lauren blew out her vocal cord. She doesn't have it. The judges warned Pia about too many ballads -- but what was this thing??? They need to have an AI spin-off -- Country Idol -- this whole show was a one-trick pony.

Powerful Fast Flushing Toilet kits?
What are the more powerful fast flushing toilet kits? Amazon seems to have very few. Are some styles of toilet kits
http://www.homedepot.com/Plumbing-Pl...searchNav=true better than others? |
Not an expert by any means, but I always thought the power of the flush depended more on the design and style of the porcelain.
just the fill flush valve |
The flush will be the same amount of water with a new valve as the old. The only way a flush's effectiveness changes is the design of the bowl and trapway. If you aren't satisfied with the way your toilet flushes, you need a different toilet. Toto is the Cadillac if you want a new toilet that works.

Petco Park, San Diego, California
SAN DIEGO -- Minnesota's Kevin Correia was a visitor and at home all in the same place.
"It's always nice to sleep in your own bed," he said.Correia, a San Diego native and resident of nearby Del Mar, scattered three runs and four hits over six innings in leading the Twins to a 5-3 win over the Padres on Tuesday night.Pitching in front of more than 50 family members and friends, Correia (2-5) won for only the second time in his last eight starts. He got some help from relievers Jared Burton and Glen Perkins as the Twins beat the Padres for the seventh straight time."It all starts with your pitcher and your starter has to give you an opportunity and Correia did that for us," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It was good for him and it was good for us."Correia, who was aided by Kurt Suzuki's inside-the-park home run and Chris Parmelee's conventional homer, had been scuffling. So while he was thrilled to beat his ex-team in his hometown, getting the win trumped the location."At this point I didn't care where I was," said Correia, who struck out six and walked a batter. "It was great to come home and throw in front of some people you know and have a decent game but I've pitched here a lot so it's not incredibly special."Ian Kennedy (2-6) worked into the seventh for San Diego, giving up four runs as he lost for the seventh time in eight starts against American League teams.It was the second of Kennedy's two wild pitches that helped the Twins score the go-ahead run in the seventh. His first wild pitch in the sixth let the Twins tie the game."When you are trying to throw curveballs down in the dirt, it's going to happen," he said.Suzuki's inside-the-park home run, the first by a Twin since Joe Mauer's on July 21, 2007 against the Angels, made it 5-3 in the eighth inning. It appeared the ball cleared the left-field fence and ricocheted back on the field. But the umpires never gave the home run signal so there was no slow trot for Suzuki."Interesting, very weird," Suzuki said. "I just kept running. I had a pretty good idea it was out but I wasn't sure. I got to third base and I thought I had a chance so I figured I should just keep going."Eduardo Escobar walked to begin the Twins' seventh, took second on Aaron Hicks' sacrifice bunt and moved to third on a wild pitch. Pinch-hitter Josmil Pinto's fly to right scored Escobar for the 4-3 lead.Correia retired the first 12 batters before Chase Headley doubled to right in the fifth. During that stretch Correia struck out four, with only four balls hit out of the infield.Will Venable followed Headley's double with a single and Headley scored on Jedd Gyorko's grounder through the left side. After the runners advanced on Yonder Alonso's fly to right, Yasmani Grandal's sacrifice fly scored Venable to tie the score at 2-2.Kennedy's single gave the Padres the advantage as Gyorko scored the inning's third run."I got frustrated and then I gave up the hit to the pitcher," Correia said.The Twins tied the game in the sixth when Trevor Plouffe scored on a wild pitch after reaching on a double and going to third on Parmelee's groundout.In the third, Plouffe had extended the Twins' lead to 2-0 when he singled in Brian Dozier.The Twins took the lead when Parmelee opened the second with 417-foot homer to center, his third of the season.Game notes
Padres P Andrew Cashner, who is on the DL with right elbow soreness, isn't too concerned. An MRI on Monday didn't reveal significant damage. "I don't think it is anything serious," Cashner said. "I'm going to rest for a week and we'll see where we are." RHP Donn Roach will make his second start in place of Cashner on Saturday against the Cubs. ... With the first of five interleague games on Tuesday, the Twins recalled C/OF Chris Herrmann after Sunday's game. "It's nice because he's able to catch a little for us and I can use him or (Josmil) Pinto in a pinch-hitting role," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "You have that extra guy and you need that in this league."... Mauer extended his interleague hitting streak to 14 games, the second-longest active streak to the Angels' Mike Trout (15). . Twins RHP Phil Hughes (4-1, 3.61) faces Padres RHP Tyson Ross (5-3, 2.81) in Wednesday's series finale.

Research Notes
Kurt Suzuki's inside-the-park HR Tuesday was the first by a catcher since Geovany Soto hit one May 19, 2008, for the Cubs against the Astros at Minute Maid Park. |
No qualified pitcher has worked away from hitters more than Kevin Correia this season (58.9 percent of pitches). San Diego hitters have shown limited power against such pitches, slugging just .279 in at-bats to end on a pitch in the outer third of the zone or further away, the third-lowest rate in baseball. |

Topic: tax breaks
Another Legislative Defeat for Obama
Another (not totally unexpected) defeat for one of President Obama's legislative proposals today. This time, the Senate rejected a measure to repeal oil company tax breaks, which the president urged them to pass in a stern speech this morning. The vote wasn't completely split along party lines, with two Republicans supporting the measure and four Democrats opposing it.
Obama will continue to frame this as the GOP protecting the interests of Big Oil, but the fact that it failed in the Democrat-controlled Senate takes the edge off that slightly:
Obama has sought to deflect blame for high gas prices, in part by casting Republicans as allies of big oil companies. He used a Rose Garden speech to urge lawmakers to back the plan.
"Today, members of Congress have a simple choice to make," Obama said. "They can stand with big oil companies, or they can stand with the American people."
Democrats Mull Tax Hike on Oil Companies
President Obama has been arguing for the repeal of certain oil company tax breaks for years, and it looks like the current hike in gas prices may provide the White House with a convenient opening:
After coordinating with the White House, Senate Democrats expect to consider, likely before the end of the month, legislation that would repeal tax breaks for oil and gas companies, a senior Senate Democratic aide said.
Details of the bill are still being decided, but the revenues could be used for consumer relief or to fund alternative energy initiatives, the aide said.
The aide said there are no easy energy solutions and that Democrats will continue to pursue the "all-of-the-above" strategy advocated by the White House.

YouTube to hire 30% more staff

Apple has 200 million iTunes accounts, is now the biggest credit card hub on the web
Steve Jobs today announced at the Apple event in San Fransisco that Apple now have 200 million people with Apple ID (iTunes) accounts. These accounts are tied to credit cards with one-click purchase access.
"Amazon doesn't publish their numbers. But it's very likely that this is the most accounts with cards anywhere on the Internet," Jobs said. Apple also has now paid out over $2 billion to app developers directly thanks to those 200 million customers from the App Store. Jobs also said there are now 350, 000 apps in the App Store with 65, 000 specifically built for the iPad.
Telstra set to open 100 new stores over the next 3 years
Telstra are set to open 100 new stores over the next three years, the stores will feature a simpler product range and accessories tailored to suit local markets, Telstra chief executive David Thodey said. "Our existing stores welcome around 30 million customer visits each year, and this initiative means our retail outlets will now appear in even more locations, making it easier and more convenient for customers to interact with us," Mr Thodey said.
Telstra are also looking at a new online customer service unit to improve customer satisfaction with the boom in its customer base. The unit would develop ways for Telstra customers to do more of their transactions such as, changing plans, ordering new services, or activate additional features, online rather than having to call a call centre.

RumorTT: AMD is up for sale?
Rumor has it AMD is for sale, with the rumors circling around AMD's stock rose by roughly 5-percent on Monday. Wedbush Securities analyst Patrick Wang said "there is no management team there" and he is right. CEO Dirk Meyer was forced out last month, COO Bob Rivet and strategy chief Marty Seyer last week.
That's quite the loss for AMD all at once which leaves AMD with a large buyout target on it's back. Adding to the rumor-mill is Dell are interested in AMD. Dell could do with the acquisition as it would distance itself from the cold, corporate world that is Hewlett Packard, Lenovo and other rival system-builders.
Valve is more profitable per head than Google or Apple
Valve's digital distribution platform, Steam, has been rumored to control between 50 and 70-percent of the entire downloadable PC games market. The digital distribution market on PC is said to be worth $4 billion USD.
Newell talked to Forbes as part of a company profile and said that Valve was "tremendously profitable", but would not give specific figures. Valve is a private company after all and does not release financial reports publicly either. Newell did say that Valve's 200 percent year-on-year growth and relatively small headcount of just 250 employees made the company more profitable than Google or Apple.

Both Facebook and Google wanted to acquire Twitter, at $10 billion
Facebook and Google both had Twitter in their targets last year and even went as far to have talks with Twitter. Obviously all three companies have declined to comment on the news.
The meetings have let the flood gates open and rummaging through the wreckage is a golden nugget of info, Twitter was valued by Google and Facebook at between $8 billion and $10 billion. This is all according to sources quoted by The Wall Street Journal:

Adult Movie Industry CTRL-C, CTRL-V's the RIAA's methods of revenue
The RIAA has been sniffing up the arse of a tonne of people who download illegal content over the past few years, with 100, 000 copyright infringement lawsuits in the USA in the past 12 months alone.
But now, the pornography industry are following in their footsteps by suing everybody in sight in order to scare people into no longer downloading their content. The Hurt Locker was last year's Oscar winning film about the Iraq war. The producers behind it complained that nearly nobody had seen the movie and that the result of this were illegal downloaders.

Intel purchase of McAfee gets approval by EU regulators
It's hard to keep up with all the goings on in the tech world. The proposed purchase of security firm McAfee by Intel first surfaced back in the summer of 2010. The deal didn't get the nod in the US until December. While the US was eyeing the purchase, the EU was as well.
Intel has now received the approval it needs in the EU to complete the purchase. The deal will cost Intel $7.68 billion and will let the chipmaker integrate its processors much more tightly with security software. Before the EU would approve the deal, Intel had to put some commitments in writing.
The commitments included an agreement to allow other security software makers access to the same hardware McAfee has access to, and to allow other hardware makers to be supported by McAfee. Specifically AMD is to have access. The deal is expected to complete this quarter.

Facebook lands $1.5 billion in new investments
Facebook started as the new guy in the social networking scene a few years ago when MySpace was dominating the market in the US. Facebook had more cool to it than MySpace though and users started flocking to Facebook and away from MySpace. Today MySpace is nearly at an end.
While MySpace sinks, Facebook is riding the tide of success to new heights all the time. The latest round of financing for Facebook has happened over the last month or so. The interesting part to me is that Facebook didn't seek more money; Goldman Sacs approached Facebook with an offer for investing in the company.
Over the last several weeks, Facebook has taken in $500 million of new investment and an additional $1 billion in new investment from overseas. Facebook could have taken as much as $1.5 billion from the overseas investors and actually turned some of the money offered down. Facebook reports it has no plans to use the money right now and will use it as cash reserves. Facebook is valued at $50 billion.

It looks like you need the v7 key from the packaging to upgrade: http://www.parallels.c Then they'll send you a another key via email. |
Thanks. Purchased Repped you and the OP |
Great find.
And while I am a fan of Newegg, I looked at the fine print on this deal and the Paralels website says:
I also had a back and forth chat with a clueless CS who basically said they are not responsible if the promotion is not honored because:
Can't wait to see if this will work. Newegg -- don't let me down. PS - Repped. |
GREEN LETTERS = legally binding!
Take a screen grab... if Parallels doesn't honor it, then I bet NewEgg will take the return. They're usually pretty good about stuff like that. I've had lots of luck with NewEgg rebates and special deals before so I'm optimistic. |
