The next flagship device from Sony is expected to compete with top of the line products, and is expected to be unveiled during CES 2013.
After launching a range of mid range smartphones, Sony is now aiming high and is working on a top end smartphone that would give a tough competition to the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III, according to a report.
"In the near future, we'll finish a flagship model, which will be able to compete with Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy S III," said Dennis van Schie, vice president, head of sales and marketing for Sony Mobile Communications to the Financial Times Deutschland.
But that's not all as another spokesperson of Sony has also suggested that this flagship model would be available on display at Consumer Electronic Show which is to be held in Las Vegas and at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, both of which are going to take place next year.
Few days ago, reports also mentioned that Sony has readied a smartphone called Xperia Yuga with a powerful features like a Qualcomm Quad core Krait CPU, full HD 1080p display and a 13 megapixel camera for best in line imagery as well.
Meanwhile, Apple too is rumoured to have been ready with another iPhone, called iPhone 5S.

Sony has announced Xperia E4 and Xperia E4 Dual but has not revealed their prices yet.
There is also a dual SIM version of the phone, simply known as Sony Xperia E4 Dual.
Sony Xperia L was introduced in India in mid-May last year for Rs 18,990.
Apart from SIM slots, the new handsets are identical in terms of specifications.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra Google Play Edition is priced at $650 (Rs 39,846 approximately) and runs Android 4.4 KitKat without customisations.
Sony has also announced that it will release Android 4.4 KitKat update for some of its high end devices.
Sony is reportedly working on a mini version of its Xperia Z1 smartphone which may be launched as Xperia Z1S.
The Android 4.1 powered smartphone has a 1 GHz dual core processor and 1 GB RAM.
The employees have been given clear instructions not to let information out before launch of devices.
In the last couple of days we witnessed a pitched sales battle between Samsung and Sony. First it was smartphones and now it is smart watches.

Sweet Silence Studios
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sweet Silence Studios, at 85 Strandlodsvej, DK-2300 Copenhagen S,[1] or DK-2400 Copenhagen NV,[2] in Copenhagen, Denmark was a recording studio originally built by Danish engineers Freddy Hansson, Stig Kreutzfeldt, and Flemming Rasmussen in February 1976. A variety of artists have recorded there, including Cat Stevens, Gasolin, Ole Prehm, Metallica, C.V. Jørgensen and Kliché. The studios closed in 2009, being demolished to make way for an apartment complex and a car park.[3] Rasmussen then moved to Winding Road Studios in Copenhagen.[4]

Arizona counting on instant impact from Lyons
OCT 24, 2012 1:17p ET
The 6-foot-1 Lyons averaged 15.1 points per game last season, mostly playing the off guard position with Tu Holloway at the point. The two occasionally shifted roles, as they did in the NCAA tournament.
Lyons, who had 16 points while playing the entire 40 minutes in a season-ending 75-70 loss to Baylor in the NCAA tournament last year, said he is comfortable in either spot.
"Last year, my team didn't need me to be a passer,'' he said. "They needed me to score. We didn't have a lot of offensive load, so my coach wanted me to score, and that's what I did. But when it was time for me to pass the ball, it was like clockwork."
Like Fogg, Lyons is more of a combo guard than a true point, but that works for Miller, who loves the take-charge attitude Lyons brings.
"He gives us competitiveness, toughness, and he's been in the arena in a big game," Miller said.
"He's had one dynamic career. He can impact the game in a lot of ways. He can do it defensively. He can do it scoring ... and he can do it by getting other players involved. He is not a one-dimensional player by any stretch. Mark can play with a point guard or he can be a point guard. That competitive fire that he has can really be contagious."
Jordin Mayes, who missed five games down the stretch in 2011-12 because of a left foot injury, would be the top candidate to play the point if/when Lyons moves to a wing. Nick Johnson played some point last season, also.
Lyons increased his scoring average, field-goal percentage and range every year at Xavier, and he made 39 percent of his 148 three-point attempts last season. The UA is likely to play more inside-out this season because of its freshmen big men, and Lyons could fill a role as a spot-up shooter for a team that lost its two biggest outside scoring threats in Fogg (72 threes, 44 percent on three-point attempts) and Brendon Lavender (55 threes, 49 percent). Johnson made 40 threes last year.
"I know he can be a really, really good piece to this team," said senior Kevin Parrom, who was introduced to Lyons during their prep school days in New York. Lyons is from Schenectady, N.Y.
"He is a competitor. That's what I like about him. He competes every drill. He sometimes makes me want to compete harder than I'm going. He's a good guy, and he makes everybody better."
While it might seem difficult for a senior newcomer to make an immediate leadership impact, Lyons already seems to have earned the respect of his teammates. The UA's off-season trip to the Bahamas helped in the meshing process.
"His character is inviting," said senior Solomon Hill, the team leader. "If he was a quiet guy and stood away from us, it would be different. He is inviting, and it makes you want to talk to him. You can laugh with him. Everybody really likes him, and he is able to pitch in and give him opinions on things."
"He reminds me a little bit of Momo (Jones), how Momo was vocal and always ready to play. That's one less guy I have to worry about on the floor. I have to coach some of the freshman guys. I know that I will never have to coach Mark. It will be big change from what you saw Xavier to here, just for the fact he is running our team now."
Hill calls it a reflection of the East Coast mentality.
"Just like when Momo went to Iona, he was able to fit in as soon as he got there. He had a great season. I think Mark will do the same for us," Hill said.

text: Walker Toughens Immigration Position After some setbacks over the past several weeks, top aides to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker tell Breitbart News that he's toughening up his immigration position as he learns more about the issue. "He's for border security first, enforce the laws on the books, fix legal immigration system with national interest in mind and then deal with those here," Walker spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said in an email. Kukowski's comments to Breitbart News come after a trip Walker took on Friday to the border with Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. A lot depends on what the governor means by a: "legal immigration system with national interest in mind." Still, this could be a step toward Walker remaking his image on immigration in the manner of Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL). by Matthew Boyle0

Windows Server 2012: RTM review
Microsoft is looking ahead to a future of private and public clouds, where information is everything, and users can access it however they want. Is Microsoft's latest server OS up to the job?
Dell OptiPlex 960
If you're shopping at the premium end of the business desktop market, you'll be hard-pressed to do better than the Dell OptiPlex 960.
Toshiba Tecra R10
Despite its strong performance, the tacky design and inflated price leaves the Toshiba Tecra R10 behind the competition.
HP 2533t Mobile Thin Client
The desktop is dead, long live the thin client desktop. Following the trend of migrating applications into the datacentre, thin clients have become increasingly popular. We found HP's first mobile thin client to be a reliable system at a reasonable price.
Lenovo ThinkCentre A57
The Lenovo A57 is a well-priced office desktop with a strong performance. While very similar to its smaller sibling, the M57e, the A57 offers better performance and upgrade options for a small price increase.
HP Compaq Presario C500
A good value laptop that outperforms many other notebooks at the same price -- the only feature missing is a DVD burner.
Acer Aspire e650
The Acer Aspire e650 is a powerful, feature-rich media centre, but we're still not convinced that Viiv is mature enough for mass adoption.
ASUS enters the local smartphone arena with a bang -- the P525 quad-band PDA looks to be a great companion for the mobile professional.
Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3
Microsoft has changed the look and feel of its venerable browser while adding some much-needed security features.
HP iPAQ rw6800
The BlackBerry for non-corporate users who require extensive multimedia capabilities, in addition to push-e-mail.
O2 Xda Atom
It has Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel camera and runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, yet shares the same dimensions as the Xda II Mini. Find out what the hype on the Xda Atom is all about.
Microsoft Windows Vista Preview
Microsoft has more to do on its new operating system, but this first beta suggests that Windows Vista will be up to par with Linux and Apple Mac OS X.
O2 Xphone IIm
O2's Xphone IIm should appeal to those who want a smarter than average phone, but against serious smartphone opposition it comes a very distinct second.

MOTT, N.D. (AP) — A Mott native who served with the U.S. Army during World War II has been posthumously presented the Bronze Star Medal during a family reunion.
Sen. John Hoeven and his wife, Mikey, joined members of the North Dakota National Guard and the Friedt family in Mott to honor Pvt. Tony A. Friedt.
Hoven says Friedt is an American hero who served his country with great dedication and pride.
Friedt was drafted to the United States Army in 1943 and served until January 1946 as a paratrooper. While deployed in the Pacific theatre, he participated in three jumps, including the Feb. 23, 1945, jump that helped liberate more than 2,000 prisoners from Los Banos Internment Camp.
Friedt earned several awards during his military service.

Committee assignments
2015 legislative session

|Wisconsin Committee Assignments, 2015
|• Criminal Justice and Public Safety
|• Ways and Means, Chair
|• Transportation, Vice-Chair
|• Labor, Vice-Chair
At the beginning of the 2013 legislative session, Spiros served on the following committees:
|Wisconsin Committee Assignments, 2013
|• Children and Families
|• Criminal Justice, Vice Chair
|• Transportation
|• Ways and Means
Campaign themes
Spiros' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Business and Jobs
- Excerpt: "We need to continue to cut the red tape, reduce cost, and become a more employer friendly state. I am proud of my bi-partisan approach to co-authoring bills and working hard to keep "Skyward" and hundreds of good paying jobs in Wisconsin."
Wisconsin Industry
- Excerpt: "Our area has many different industries; agriculture, manufacturing, Paper and logging to name a few. I would like to see these industries stay solvent and continue to grow and prosper. Often this may mean, less regulation and government interference. I will offer strong support to these industries so that they can remain strong and continue to be a positive reminder of what Wisconsin offers the country. Our next generation deserves the opportunities we have all had and I will do my part to make sure these industries are around for many generations to come."
Gogebic Taconite Mine
- Excerpt: "In February 2013 the State Assembly along with the State Senate passed legislation for the application, regulation and oversite of applicants who are interested in Taconite Mining. I voted for this legilation [sic], and believe thatenvironmentally safe. The mine if built has the potential to bring Wisconsinites 3,175 jobs each year for two years. This mine will also bring a total of $20.6 million dollars in state and local tax revenue. This mine will make a 2 billion dollar total economic impact on Wisconsin."
- Excerpt: "I have never voted for a tax increase, and in the last 7 years our city tax rate has either decreased or remained the same, and the size of our city government, excluding protective services, has declined. As Chairman of the Finance and Budget Committee, my committee and I have taken a hard line on costs and we have not seen our services decline. Having local government experience and understanding shared revenues and budgets, is essential for our small towns and cities. I am proud of the work I have done in Marshfield and now in our state to reduce the tax burden on our residents!"
- Excerpt: "I do believe that everyone should be able to afford decent healthcare but I did not support the Obama Affordable Care Act when passed and I do not support it now. I believe that each individual's health care is personal and private and that the Government has no Constitutional right to mandate, that for the first time in American history, that American's buy health insurance or face taxation for not doing so. Wisconsin has had a very good healthcare system, and our health care is ranked at the top in the nation."
Spiros's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
- "Lower Taxes
- More Private Sector Jobs
- Controlling Government Spending
- Protecting Family Values
- Supporting Small Business Owners"

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Wisconsin scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.
In 2014, the Wisconsin State Legislature was in session from January 14 through June 4.
- Legislators are scored on their stances on voting, money in politics and democracy reform legislation.
- Legislators are scored on "how well [their votes] represented the priorities of the MMAC."
- Legislators are scored on whether they voted for or against NPCW's position.
- Legislators are scored on whether they voted for or against the Wisconsin AFL-CIO's position.
- Legislators are scored on their stances on conservation issues.
- Legislators are scored on their votes on legislation WMC deemed as "most important issues for the business community."
- Legislators are scored on their votes on legislation that "impact Wisconsin's law enforcement community."

Harbaugh not attending Michigan banquet
Posted by Tom Fornelli
It looks like we're all going to miss out on what could have been one of the most awkward moments anybody could have hoped for this season. As you're well aware, there are plenty of Michigan fans out there who would like to see Rich Rodriguez fired and replaced by former Michigan quarterback and current Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh. Michigan AD Dave Brandon has said repeatedly that he won't be making any decision on his head coach until after the bowl game, but he also hasn't exactly come to Rodriguez's defense either.
Which makes you wonder.
Still, it would have been interesting to see what would have happened at Thursday night's banquet to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Michigan's 1985 football team. One that had Harbaugh as a starting quarterback. Unfortunately, while the banquet is still taking place, Harbaugh will not be a part of it. He said as much during a conference call on Tuesday, saying that he can't make it because he'll be on a recruiting trip.
Which no doubt disappoints many Michigan fans and alumni. It would have been a great chance for Brandon to speak to Harbaugh and get a feel for what he wants to do, though Harbaugh has said that he doesn't plan on talking about any other jobs than the one he already has.
Of course, if I had a dollar every time a college football coach said he wasn't going to talk about another job, and then ended up accepting another job, I'd have at least enough money to take the woman to a fancy dinner at Burger King.

Posted by Chip Patterson
In the latest episode of As The Gruden Turns, Wednesday morning brings some clarification to Tuesday night's reports from Canesport.com. According to a story in the Miami Herald, a "high-level UM source" has indicated that Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt has traveled to Tampa to meet with Jon Gruden, a meeting expected to take place on Wednesday.
Two members of Miami's Board of Trustees have indicated to the Herald that Gruden is the top choice in the search to replace Randy Shannon, but they are concerned he might decide to wait for a job in the NFL. As suggested by Sports Illustrated's Peter King, Gruden was initially uninterested in the position. But he has since begun to entertain the possibility of returning to the college sideline. The purpose of Hocutt's trip was to determine whether Gruden would take the position if offered.
The Herald also clarified that while the aforementioned actions are being taken to work on Gruden, several trustees said the process had not reached the stage of "hammering out final details" as the Canesport.com report suggested. If Gruden says no to Hocutt, Miami has begun assembling their list of next-best options. That list is reported to include Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, Stanford's Jim Harbaugh, Connecticut's Randy Edsall, Utah's Kyle Whittingham, Arizona's Mike Stoops, and at least two other names.

The Rich Rodriguez Watch begins now
Posted by Tom Fornelli
Let the Rich Rodriguez is getting fired rumors begin. Well, okay, continue. No, that's not right either. Let's just pour some more gasoline on the raging inferno that has been Rich Rodriguez getting fired rumors.
Yes, the Wolverines have improved in each season under Rodriguez since his first year in Ann Arbor after taking over for Lloyd Carr. They've even reached bowl eligibility this season.
Still, improvement is nice, but not getting destroyed by Ohio State is better when you're the head coach at Michigan, and so far Rodriguez just hasn't proven himself capable of that. Through three seasons, Rodriguez is yet to pick up a victory against either of Michigan's two rivals, Ohio State or Michigan State.
It's one thing to get beaten by Ohio State, it's another to do so while seeing Michigan State earn a share of the Big Ten title.
So I don't think it would surprise anyone if Rodriguez is let go after the season, if not before whatever bowl game the Wolverines end up in. Dave Brandon may be the athletic director at Michigan right now, but he's not the one who hired Rodriguez.
Rich isn't his coach, and you have to think the man Brandon would have his eye on is out west in Palo Alto, California. That's where former Michigan quarterback Jim Harbaugh has built one of the best programs in the country with Stanford, and has done so while having to recruit the smart kids, not just the talented ones.
What's odd in this situation is that the Michigan fans may want Rodriguez gone, and even Brandon may want Rodriguez gone, but I'm not sure they have that much say in the matter. No, I think it'll all come down to what Jim Harbaugh wants to do.
I have no doubt that Michigan will reach out to Harbaugh somehow, though it won't be publicly. If Harbaugh gives the indication that he'll leave Stanford and come home to Ann Arbor, then Rodriguez will be kicked out the door quicker than a Greg Robinson defense can give up a touchdown.
If Harbaugh says no, then I think Michigan sticks by Rodriguez for one more year. And waits to see if Harbaugh changes his mind.

Ohio State having no trouble with Michigan
Posted by Tom Fornelli
This game basically started out in the best way imaginable for Michigan. On defense, the much-maligned Wolverines held the Buckeyes to two three-and-outs on Ohio State's first two drives of the game. On offense, Michigan put together two quality drives.
The problem is that after those two drives the score was still 0-0. That's what happens when you have a coach who has absolutely no faith in his kicker and has to go for it on fourth down, which Michigan did on its opening drive and failed. The second drive ended with a Denard Robinson fumble that Ohio State recovered at it's own 10-yard line.
Terrelle Pryor led Ohio State to a field goal on the ensuing drive, and it's been all Pryor and the Buckeyes since. Michigan got itself back in the game with a Vincent Smith touchdown halfway through the second quarter, but Jordan Hall returned the ensuing kickoff back 85 yards for a touchdown, and the Buckeyes had a 10-point lead right back.
A few minutes later Pryor was hitting Devier Posey for a 33-yard touchdown to stretch the lead to 17-point lead, which is where the lead now sits at halftime.
It also turns the heat on Rich Rodriguez's seat up that much higher. Bowl eligible or not, don't think for a second that if Michigan gets destroyed by the Buckeyes again that Rodriguez's job won't be in danger. Particularly with Michigan alum Jim Harbaugh leading Stanford to heights unknown out west.

Robinson Coach of the Year finalists announced
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
The eight announced finalists for the 2010 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award (as given out by the Football Writers Association of America) didn't offer much in the way of surprise; six of the nominees come from the current top seven teams in the BCS standings and all eight coach for teams in the BCS top ten. They are, from highest-ranked to lowest:
Chip Kelly, Oregon
Gene Chizik, Auburn
Gary Patterson, TCU
Chris Peterson, Boise State
Jim Harbaugh, Stanford
Bret Bielema, Wisconsin
Mark Dantonio, Michigan State
Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State
A victory over Alabama (and the lack of further allegations against Cam Newton ) would probably make Chizik the front-runner by a nose over Kelly, since his team entered this season with lower expectations and a far worse record in 2009. But Kelly's mastery of his light-speed spread-option offense and dominating season would make him a fine choice, as would any of the finalists. The FWAA can't go wrong.
If there's anything to complain about here, it's that all eight choices follow the "good or great team becomes or stays great" model. But there's something to be said about taking a mediocre or even bad program to (or back to) respectability. Here's three coaches who also deserve some recognition for their work in 2010:
Mario Cristobal, FIU. It's easy to forget just how miserable the Golden Panthers' program was when Cristobal arrived in 2007, with FIIU fresh off an 0-12 season, the infamous Orange Bowl brawl with Miami , and NCAA sanctions. Three seasons later FIU, picked to finish eighth in their conference, will win the Sun Belt and play in their first-ever bowl game if they can hold serve at home against Arkansas State and Middle Tennessee State to end the season.
Ralph Friedgen, Maryland . The only reason the Fridge is even still employed by the Terps is because the school couldn't afford his buyout at the end of 2009, and it was no surprise when Friedgen's team was pegged for dead last in the ACC Atlantic this offseason. Instead of tuning out their supposedly lame-duck coach, though, the Terps have surged back to a 7-4 season with a big win vs. rivals Navy and road victories at Virginia and bowl-bound Boston College , putting them in contention for the division title as recently as last week.
Mike Haywood, Miami (Ohio) . It's hard to believe that the 7-4 Redhawks could win the MAC East when you consider how supremely hopeless they were in 2009, when they failed to score a single point until their third game and finished 1-11. In the MAC. But Miami served notice in a valiant season-opening effort against Florida that Haywood had made the absolute most of the offseason, and if they can claim an eighth win they'll have their most victories since 2004.

What I Learned from the Pac-10 (Nov. 20)
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Only three games in the Pac-10 this week, but we still learned a few things:
1. Stanford deserves a BCS bowl berth. The Cardinal caught a break in catching Cal in the "horrific" week of their solid/horrific yo-yo-routine; after the Bears put together such an impressive performance against Oregon last week, the proper bet regarding their performance this week was the house, on collapse .
But that still shouldn't take anything away from the kind of dominance Jim Harbaugh 's team has shown the past few weeks. The Cardinal simply annihilated Cal from the opening gun, watching Andrew Luck hit 16-of-20 without an interception and even embarrassing a Bear defender on a long run just for kicks ... holding the Bears scoreless through the first three quarters ... scoring on their first eight possessions, every one Luck directed ... leading 45-0. It was the sort of display usually reserved for beatdowns of bottom-rung FCS teams, and it all came in "The Game," Cal's biggest rivalry game of the year, on the road in Berkeley.
Between this performance, the thumping of Arizona two weeks ago, and the 41-0 road whitewashing of Washington three weeks back, it's safe to rank Stanford alongside the likes of Auburn and Boise State as one of the hottest teams in the country and the hottest in the Pac-10 . Assuming they wrap up the season at 11-1, they'll deserve to have a shot at playing in one of the big-money BCS games rather than having to slink off the Holiday Bowl . That may or may not happen -- it'll be helpful if Auburn loses and opens up a slot in the BCS title game for a non-AQ team that will otherwise hog a spot in the Rose Bowl -- but there shouldn't be any "may or may not," not the way the Cardinal are playing.
2. Corvallis is USC's own personal house of horrors. You can't really argue that Oregon State 's Reser Stadium is a "tough place to play," not this year, not after the Beavers got trounced at home by Washington State last week. (Yes, that Washington State. Yes, that actually happened.) But apparently it doesn't matter how welcoming a host OSU might be for anyone else; they are always going to be at maximum hostility for USC .
In 2006, the Trojans were third-ranked and favored to return to the BCS title game for the third time in three years when they went to Corvallis; they turned the ball over four times and lost 33-31, snapping their 27-game Pac-10 winning streak. In 2008, USC had just defeated No. 5 Ohio State 35-3 and were the No. 1 team in the country; Jacquizz Rodgers exploded for 186 yards against one of the best defenses of college football's past decade and the Beavers won 27-21. Obviously the 2010 Trojans can't measure up to the '06 or '08 versions (who finished with a combined record of 23-2), but they had won three of their last four and beaten a good Arizona team on the road just last week. And, you know, Washington State.
No matter. Matt Barkley had his ankle bent into all kinds of incorrect directions ; Mitch Mustain went only 8-of-17 in relief; Rodgers went off for another 128 yards and a score; Beaver QB Ryan Katz recovered from a terrible week against Wazzu to hit 17-of-24 with two touchdowns and no picks; the Trojans lost the turnover battle 0-2 and only gained 255 total yards; and in the end, the Beavers crushed the Trojans 36-7 .
Corvallis: home sweet home to Wazzu, the worst place imaginable for the Trojans. Go figure.
3. UCLA's offense is ... well ... you know. We know the Bruins are struggling with quarterback issues and with a scheme conversion to the pistol that has been, to put it as politely as we possibly can, a work in progress.
But there's a point at which politeness isn't really appropriate anymore, and once you've scored zero points over the final three quarters and netted all of 163 yards (over 61 plays, an unbelievably terrible average gain of 2.67 yards per-play) against a team that entered the game ranked 109th in the FBS in total defense, that point has long since past. We've posted this portrait of UCLA's offense before, and after the stinkbomb the Bruins laid up in Seattle last Thursday, we feel we have no choice but to post it again:
It's a shame, because the Bruin defense -- which hounded Jake Locker into another "that guy is a first-rounder?!?" performance (10/21, 68 yards, 0 TD 1 INT) -- isn't great but is good enough to get UCLA to the postseason they desperately want . The offense, however, will be lucky to drag UCLA past their current four wins.

Brady Hoke now a candidate for Minnesota job
Posted by Tom Fornelli
Ever since Minnesota fired Tim Brewster, the school's head has been in the clouds when considering who to hire to replace him. Names like Chris Petersen, Gary Patterson, Jim Harbaugh, and somebody at the school has probably wondered about Bear Bryant too. The thing that all these coaches have in common -- well, not the late, great Mr. Bryant -- is that if they were to leave their current jobs to take over at Minnesota, they'd be taking a step backward. Which Minnesota just doesn't seem to get.
Which is why I was somewhat relieved to see the latest name to come up in the Gophers coaching search, because this one actually seems sensible. According to a report in the Pioneer Press, Brady Hoke of San Diego State is now on the list of "serious" coaching candidates. Which just makes sense, so kudos to you, Minnesota.
Hoke has experience in the Big Ten, spending eight years at Michigan as a defensive coach and is from Ohio. He also led Ball State to a 12-1 mark in 2008 before moving on to San Diego State. Now, in his second season there, Hoke has the Aztecs at 7-2 with a chance at a Mountain West title if they can pull off the upset of TCU this weekend.
In other words, he's a coach that has had to work his way up the ladder, and had success everywhere he's been. You don't think he'd be interested in coming back to the Big Ten -- most certainly a step forward for him -- and taking over the Minnesota job? The most important thing for Minnesota to consider, though, is that it's not the the only school who has likely taken notice of Hoke. Colorado has an opening right now, too, and it's likely going to turn its attention to Hoke soon as well.

What I Learned from the Pac-10 (Nov. 6)
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
1. The biggest game of the league's season was played back on Oct. 2. And Oregon won it, 52-31 over Stanford . By this point, with the Ducks at least two games up on the rest of the league (and three on everyone but the Cardinal as soon as they dispose of Arizona ) and second-place Stanford two games up on everyone trailing them , there's absolutely no question who the best two teams in the conference are. Not that the league's schedule-makers could have forseen the Ducks' and Cardinal's dominance, but after a few seaosns with massive (and massively hyped) late-season showdowns with Rose Bowl berths on the line, this season whatever attention the Pac-10 garner will come exclusively from Oregon's run at Glendale.
2. Speaking of which, Oregon is the nation's best second-half team. We'd seen this movie before, against Tennessee , against Stanford, against USC: the Ducks look vaguely sluggish for 30 minutes or slightly more, and just as it appears they might be in genuine trouble, they floor it. Today's edition : a scoreless first quarter, couple of turnovers, an 18-13 lead early third quarter ... and three Duck touchdowns before the period is up, with two more just for fun in the fourth to end the game on 35-3 run. Your final: 53-16. Chip Kelly says he wants to wear his opponents out and crush them down the stretch, and whaddya know, that's what his teams do.
It won't be surprising if Cal or Oregon State take an early lead with the Ducks on the road, won't be a total shock if they carry an edge into the break, or even if they're up after 45 minutes. But we're long past the point where we can expect any team remaining on Oregon's schedule to play them even over the full 60 minutes.
3. Maybe Cal isn't schizophrenic. Maybe they just hate the road. The Bears went up to the Palouse today and nearly handed Paul Wulff his first Pac-10 win in his three seasons at Wazzu , falling behind 10-7 at the half and leading only 14-13 entering the fourth quarter before squeaking by 20-13 . New starting quarterback Brock Mansion didn't make anyone forget the injured Kevin Riley , hitting only 12-of-24 with a pair of picks against the league's worst defense.
Truthfully, we already knew Cal was terrible on the road; the win snapped a six-game losing streak away from Berkeley. But even "six-game losing streak" doesn't quite say "terrible on the road" the way "seven-point win over Washington State" does.
4. Stanford's defense is maybe the league's most underreported story. The Cardinal defense in 2009: 403 yards allowed per-game, 90th in the country. The Cardinal defense in 2010: 330 yards allowed per-game, 30th in the country. And that was before they held Arizona to just three first-half points and no touchdowns until the Stanford offense had already built a 28-3 lead late in the third quarter.
No question that between the likes of Andrew Luck and Chris Owusu and Stepfan Taylor and Jim Harbaugh 's precision pro-style attack, the Cardinal is an offense-first team. But the difference between last year's 8-5 Sun Bowl team and this year's potential 11-1 BCS at-large selection is almost entirely the work first-year defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has done with his starless unit.
5. Oregon State is just another team. The early read on the Beavers was that after near-impossible assignments at Boise State and TCU but a vindication win at Arizona, Mike Riley 's team was better than their record, as they usually are in mid-October.
But after losing in overtime at Washington (losers at home to Arizona State and big losers at home to Stanford and Nebraska ) and now 17-14 at previously-reeling, 3-5 UCLA , it's time to acknowledge that the Beavers aren't top-25 material. In fact, at 4-4 and with games still to come against the Ducks, Cardinal, and Trojans, they may not even be bowl material.
6. Matt Barkley is in a slump. USC escaped Arizona State's upset bid 34-33 late Saturday thanks to some huge plays in the field goal department -- a blocked extra point returned for two Trojan points, a game-winning Joe Houston field goal, a wayward Sun Devil attempt with 90 seconds to play -- but the Trojans won't survive their grueling late-season stretch (starting with next week's visit to Arizona) without better play from their sophomore quarterbacking prodigy. Barkley threw three touchdowns against the Sun Devils, but also threw a pair of interceptions and settled for a mediocre average of 5.8 yards per-pass. Barkley has only dipped below the 7 yards-per-attempt mark three times this season, but it's happened each of the last two weeks. Those two games also account for half of his eight picks for the year. Where's the gunslinger who carpet-bombed Cal and nearly took down Stanford in Palo Alto?

Best All-Inclusive Family Resorts
Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa
Some of the greatest values for families can be found at all-inclusive resorts, which offer plenty of diversions and schedule flexibility.
The kids want to go ziplining—for the third time in two days. But you don't need to think twice. When you're staying at an all-inclusive resort, nearly everything is included, so the pressure is off to constantly tally the cost of your vacation.
The all-inclusive concept has gotten a recent makeover—better food, spruced-up décor, more varied activities—and many are perfect for families. Activities are on-site, so there's no need to wake up early and usher the troops out the door only to wait in traffic or long lines. Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa offers four themed villages, 19 restaurants, a 45,000-square-foot water park, a Scratch DJ Academy, a surfing simulator, an Xbox Play Lounge, and Sesame Street characters.
The best all-inclusive family resorts also have programs that give grown-ups a little space. Vermont's Tyler Place Family Resort runs nine camps tailored to specific ages, each with its own facilities; parents meet up with their brood for lunch and activities, but can enjoy dinner in the adults-only restaurant.
These are the kinds of distinguishing factors to look for before booking. "The devil is in the details, so do your homework with special attention to size, quality, and the staff-to-guest ratio," says Zachary Rabinor, CEO of Journey Mexico.
At Kenya's Lewa Safari Camp, families can customize the experience, say, with earlier mealtimes. Before each morning's game drive, hot chocolate is delivered to the door. Now that should keep the whole family happy.
