Tunjo pulls out of Pons FR3.5 deal
March 2nd, 2015
Oscar Tunjo has aborted his plans to drive for Pons Racing in Formula Renault 3.5 this year. The Colombian joined the Spanish team for round four of the 2014 campaign, in a deal that included a full season for '15. However, the team announced on Monday that Tunjo has had to back out of the deal. "Pons Racing and Oscar Tunjo have mutually decided to end their collaboration," said a team statement. "The Colombian racer was forced to reconsider his plans due to budget concerns." Tunjo's withdrawal means that Pons now has two vacant seats for the upcoming season. 2015 FR3.5 LINE-UP SO FAR DAMS Nyck de Vries, Dean Stoneman Fortec Motorsports Oliver Rowland, TBA Arden Motorsport Egor Orudzhev, Nicholas Latifi Zeta CorseFacu Regalia, TBA Lotus Meindert van Buuren, Matthieu Vaxiviere Strakka Racing Gustav [...]
Regalia makes FR3.5 switch
February 27th, 2015
Former GP2 driver Facu Regalia will join Zeta Corse for his debut season in Formula Renault 3.5 this year. The Argentinean was eventual champion Daniil Kvyat's closest title challenger in GP3 two seasons ago, before graduating to GP2 with Hilmer Motorsport in 2014. Regalia parted company with Hilmer after the fourth round of the season at the Red Bull Ring in June. "Following seven months of intense work I can confirm my participation in World Series by Renault," said Regalia, whose CV also includes campaigns in Auto GP, European F3 Open and Italian F3. "It is another season racing in Europe and it's fantastic to join such a Formula 1 feeder series with Zeta Corse. "It is an opportunity, and we must do everything in our power to seize it, [...]
Rossi gets Racing Engineering drive
February 27th, 2015
Alexander Rossi will return to GP2 with Racing Engineering for the 2015 season, completing the team's line-up alongside Jordan King. The American, a race winner with Caterham in 2013, completed a part-season with the team last year, before switching to Campos for a one-off appearance at Hockenheim and then sitting out the rest of the campaign while he pursued opportunities in Formula 1. Rossi, who made his GP2 debut in the Asia series in 2009, said a deal with Racing Engineering had been a long time coming. "After several years of discussions, at last we have found a way to work together," said the 23-year-old. "After my 2014 season as the reserve driver at the Caterham and Marussia F1 teams, it is public knowledge that I have been carefully looking [...]
Fittpaldi gets European F3 deal
February 25th, 2015
Pietro Fittipaldi, the grandson of Brazilian racing legend Emerson Fittipaldi, is to contest the Formula 3 European Championship with Fortec Motorsport. The 18-year-old steps up from Formula Renault – last season he won the BARC championship for older-spec cars in dominant style, and he also took in some rounds of the ALPS series for current machinery. Although no announcement has yet been made by Fortec, Fittipaldi tweeted the news on Wednesday afternoon. The deal follows Fittipaldi shining in tests in a Fortec Dallara-Mercedes during December, while he also tested with Carlin. He will be the third generation of Fittipaldi to race in F3 in Europe – his grandfather raced in Britain in 1969, and his uncle Christian in '90. Fittipaldi is the first driver to be firmly connected with Fortec's [...]
BRDC star Maini steps up to Euro F3
February 24th, 2015
BRDC Formula 4 Championship runner-up Arjun Maini has taken the final seat with Van Amersfoort Racing for this season's Formula 3 European Championship. The 17-year-old from Bangalore steps up after just one season in car racing, and started 2015 by finishing fourth in the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand with two race wins. Maini joins Formula Renault ALPS runner-up Charles Leclerc and Italian karting superstar Alessio Lorandi in an extremely youthful all-rookie line-up in VAR's trio of Dallara-Volkswagens. The team believes it has the drivers to build on Max Verstappen's third place in the 2014 rankings. Team boss Frits van Amersfoort, whose squad never tested Maini, said: "We are thrilled to have Arjun in our team for 2015. "We saw in winter testing already his natural speed and he [...]
Carlin completes six-car F3 line-up
February 23rd, 2015
Colombian Tatiana Calderon has taken the sixth and final full-time seat in Carlin's line-up for the Formula 3 European championship. This will be the third season in Euro F3 for the 21-year-old, who made big steps forward with a Mucke Motorsport-run car last year. It comes after tests with Carlin's Dallara-Volkswagen at Valencia and Monteblanco last December. "I love the team's working atmosphere and everyone's determination to succeed; I'm sure together with the support from Volkswagen Motorsport we will achieve great things," said Calderon. "I'm in a great position, surrounded by great people, and I want to make the most of the opportunity." Team boss Trevor Carlin added: "We've wanted Tatiana in the team for some time now and we're delighted that everything came together this season. "She was very [...]
Ellinas moves to FR3.5 with Strakka
February 23rd, 2015
Former GP3 frontrunner Tio Ellinas will drive for Strakka Racing in Formula Renault 3.5 this year, completing the team's 2015 line-up. The 23-year-old Cypriot, who started eight GP2 races in 2014, joins fellow rookie Gustav Malja at Strakka. "Strakka is the complete package with the best support and equipment on and off the track," said Ellinas, who tested for the team late last year. "We worked really well at the test and it was clear that Strakka could engineer a quick car." Ellinas has also signed a long-term deal with Strakka's driver management division. Strakka team principal Dan Walmsley said: "In Tio, we see a driver with fantastic natural talent and the ability to work hard and learn. "Managing him means that we can unleash and guide the potential he [...]
Brazilian kart star joins Motopark
February 23rd, 2015
Brazilian karting star Sergio Sette Camara is the latest driver to join Motopark for the Formula 3 European Championship. This will be the 16-year-old's first full season in car racing, although he contested around half of last year's Brazilian F3 Championship, made a one-off Euro F3 appearance at Imola with EuroInternational, and took in the final two rounds of the 2015 Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand. Sette Camara is the fourth driver on the roster at Motopark, which has already confirmed Briton Sam MacLeod, German F3 Cup champion Markus Pommer and Indian Mahaveer Raghunathan, who steps up from the Italian Formula 4 Championship. Motopark boss Timo Rumpfkeil said: "We have all the means to make sure Sergio learns his ropes as quickly as possible. "He has proven that he's [...]
Russian Time retains 2014 drivers
February 20th, 2015
Russian Time has announced that it will retain Mitch Evans and Artem Markelov for the 2015 GP2 season. The pair helped the 2013 teams' champion to fifth in the standings last year, with Evans winning two races. Team principal Svetlana Strelnikova said: "I'm pleased that we have continuity for 2015 with both drivers. "It was a good team environment last year and Mitch and Artem worked well together.

Prema signs Rosenqvist for Euro F3
February 20th, 2015
Macau Grand Prix winner Felix Rosenqvist has signed for Prema Powerteam in the Formula 3 European championship for 2015. The Swede, an F3 veteran and a two-time victor in the Zandvoort F3 Masters race, spent the last four seasons with Mucke Motorsport, finishing as runner-up in the championship in 2013. Rosenqvist is Prema's fourth signing for 2015, joining Jake Dennis, Lance Stroll and Brandon Maisano. "I am highly excited about what I view as a new phase of my career," said the 23-year-old. "Prema have been the undisputed pacesetters in F3 for as long as I've been around. "They are operating at their own level, and I am thrilled to join them at a time when the European championship is stronger than ever before. "The championship is the one thing [...]
Virtuosi to run Russian Time GP2 team
February 19th, 2015
Race-winning Auto GP team Virtuosi UK has concluded a deal to run the Russian Time GP2 squad. The entry will remain under the Russian Time moniker, with Svetlana Strelnikova continuing as team principal, but Virtuosi UK will replace iSport in managing the team. Virtuosi team director Andy Roche was involved in GP2 in its early years before setting up the Auto GP project with owner Declan Lohan. "I am very, very pleased that the qualities of our team have been recognised and to be able announce this move into GP2," Lohan told AUTOSPORT. "Andy Roche was involved in GP2 right from the beginning, and he will act as team manager. We think we have the right personnel to do the job. "We got the call from GP2 and Russian Time, [...]
Ex-Ferrari junior joins Euro F3 field
February 19th, 2015
Former Ferrari junior driver Brandon Maisano will step up to the Formula 3 European championship with Prema Powerteam in 2015. The 21-year-old drove for the team in Italian F3 in 2012, and after being unable to race full-time in 2013 he returned to Prema in Italian F4 last year. "I am very happy for the opportunity to participate in the F3 European championship," said Maisano, who finished second to fellow Prema F3 driver Lance Stroll in the New Zealand-based Toyota Racing Series this winter. "I am aware this will be a difficult and decisive step in my career but I will do my best to be in the top positions as often as possible." Team boss Rene Rosin added: "We know Brandon really well, and we felt he deserved a [...]
Russians facing F3 legality fight
February 19th, 2015
The constructors of a new Russian car are pushing ahead with plans to contest the Formula 3 European championship despite legality concerns. ArtLine Engineering is building its new Dallara challenger – the ArtTech P315 – with a central-exhaust system, but it has run into a buffer with the FIA over the philosophy. ArtLine is in negotiation with engine builders NBE and ORECA, but both firms' units have been homologated in a format that was designed to fit the side-exhaust Dallara, and would not fit the ArtTech. The NBE raced in this format with T-Sport in 2014, scoring a Macau Grand Prix podium with Nick Cassidy, while the Renault-badged ORECA was withdrawn on the eve of the season but is targeted for a return with Ma-Con Motorsport this year. AUTOSPORT understands [...]
Lynn carries out DRS test for GP2
February 18th, 2015
Williams Formula 1 reserve driver Alex Lynn carried out a GP2 test session focused on the category's new DRS in Bahrain on Wednesday. The Briton spent the day at the wheel of the GP2 development car at Sakhir, completing an aero-based programme built around the new drag reduction system that will be introduced for this season. The Brit forging his own path to F1 The day started with straightline aero tests, and finished with long runs to evaluate the reliability of the system. The test came about as a prize for Lynn winning last year's GP3 title. "I have really enjoyed driving the GP2 development car today," he said. "It has been a very studious test session so far. I am grateful for this prize and opportunity. "I hope that [...]
Sirotkin switches to GP2 with Rapax
February 17th, 2015
Former Sauber Formula 1 test driver Sergey Sirotkin will switch to the GP2 Series with Rapax for 2015. Sirotkin has spent the past two seasons in Formula Renault 3.5, winning one race and finishing fifth in last year's standings, having previously taken third in Auto GP in 2012. The 19-year-old Russian drove in practice for his inaugural home grand prix last year as part of his affiliation with Sauber, a relationship that was initially billed as a fast-track move towards an F1 race seat. He tested Rapax's GP2 car in Abu Dhabi for two days after the end of the 2014 season and has now sealed a full-season deal with the team. "First of all, I want to thank the team's owners and executives for the push they made in [...]
Blomqvist cautious on Verstappen leap
February 17th, 2015
Formula 3 European championship runner-up and new DTM BMW signing Tom Blomqvist says that karting graduates should be wary of making a Max Verstappen-style leap straight to F3. Blomqvist, who spent two years in Formula Renault and one in German F3 before moving into European F3, said he was impressed with the job rookies Verstappen (who was third in the 2014 championship) and champion Esteban Ocon did last year. "To be fair to those two, it's been a while since anyone stepped into F3 and did as well as they did last year so young," he said. Spurning the F1 path for BMW "Obviously there was a lot of media hype, and it was me and those two who were the most competitive throughout the year, and it really has [...]
Arden completes GP2 driver line-up
February 16th, 2015
Arden Motorsport has completed its GP2 driver line-up by retaining Andre Negrao to partner Formula Renault 3.5 convert Norman Nato this year. Brazilian Negrao finished 12th in his rookie season of GP2 last year, taking best finishes of fifth in both Monza races. The 22-year-old scored all of his points at the Spa, Monza and Sochi rounds late in the campaign, and both team and driver hope to build on that progress in his second season. "Last year we achieved our target of scoring points in the second half of the championship," said Negrao. "I had a very good feeling with the whole Arden team so we decided to continue for the 2015 season." Team boss Garry Horner added: "We are very pleased to retain Andre for the forthcoming season.

German champ moves up to Euro F3
February 13th, 2015
German Formula 3 champion Markus Pommer will graduate to the F3 European championship this season with Motopark. The 24-year-old, a race winner in Formula 2 in 2012, returned to single-seaters last season after a year in the Porsche Supercup. As well as taking 14 wins on his way to the German F3 title, he finished third in the Auto GP series. Pommer was also the driver when Motopark returned to top-level F3 competition for the first time since 2011 in last November's Macau Grand Prix (pictured) – he finished 11th, and was quick enough to place in the top six had he not stalled at the start of the qualification race. The German joins Briton Sam MacLeod in Motopark's line-up of Dallara-Volkswagens, with the Oschersleben-based team expected to announce further [...]
Honda places protege in ART GP2 team
February 13th, 2015
Honda-supported Japanese Formula 3 champion Nobuharu Matsushita will partner McLaren junior Stoffel Vandoorne at ART in GP2 this season. Matsushita, who is backed by McLaren's new Formula 1 engine supplier, tested for ART in Abu Dhabi at the end of last year, completing 74 laps across two half-day sessions. "I would like to thank ART for giving me the opportunity to race in GP2," said the 21-year-old. "This is a big challenge but I am determined to do my best as GP2 is the best way to race in F1, which is my dream. "I would like to express my thankfulness to Honda, who support my challenge." As part of the launch of its 2015 motorsport programme, Honda explained in a statement that it is working with McLaren to get [...]
Bonifacio, Nissany secure FR3.5 seats
February 12th, 2015
Formula Renault Eurocup race winner Bruno Bonifacio and Formula 3 European championship driver Roy Nissany will race in Formula Renault 3.5 this year with Draco and Tech 1 respectively. Brazilian Bonifacio was a factor in the FR2.0 Eurocup title race in the early part of 2014, although he slumped to fifth in the standings as McLaren junior Nyck de Vries went on to take the title. Nissany graduates to FR3.5 after spending two years in F3, taking a best finish of sixth and a highest championship position of 17th last year. "It's impossible to imagine how happy I am for having secured a ride with Draco," said Bonifacio, who completes an all-Brazilian line-up at the team alongside Pietro Fantin. "I have never had any doubt that this was going to [...]

Politically Incorrect
Wednesday, November 2
1. The saddest thing about Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry making the statements about the need for more black players to compete is that the Falcons promptly went out and got routed by BYU, which may be the whitest school in Division I-A. DeBerry was not only politically incorrect, he was just flat incorrect.
2. The Fiesta, Sugar and Orange, the three BCS bowls that can invite Notre Dame this season, will be in South Bend on Saturday for the Tennessee game. And if Notre Dame doesn't qualify for the BCS, the Gator gets first shot. The Gator will be in South Bend, too. Any questions about Notre Dame's bowl appeal?
3. Alabama has allowed one touchdown in four games, and it came after a turnover put Ole Miss on the Crimson Tide 27. Arkansas scored on a 70-yard run on Sept. 24. The last real touchdown drive against the Tide defensive starters came in the first quarter on Sept. 17, by South Carolina, in the season's third game.
Close Encounters
Tuesday, November 1
1. South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier told me Monday that he couldn't recall ever having come from behind to win in the fourth quarter on consecutive Saturdays. There's a reason for that. You have to go back to 1993 to even find consecutive games that Spurrier won by seven points or fewer.
2. Judging from the comments I've heard, I may be the only one that likes the new Nike unis that Virginia Tech and Florida wore last week. I thought they looked futuristic and fresh. The new uniforms may have been a market test. Or maybe Nike had some extra orange material and found a way to use it.
3. Central Florida forced 20 turnovers when it went 0-11 last season. The Golden Knights already have forced 22 this season, including six by East Carolina in a 30-20 victory Saturday. UCF is 5-3 and one victory away from qualifying for a bowl, which proves Notre Dame right. George O'Leary can coach.
What Was UT Thinking?
Monday, October 31
1. Tennessee was long overdue in retiring the No. 16 jersey of Peyton Manning on Saturday. But if UT waited eight years, it could wait two more weeks. Why would Tennessee even think of bringing Manning back to campus on the weekend that the Volunteers played a Steve Spurrier-coached team?
2. Tennessee (3-4 with three top-five losses) vs. Clemson (4-4) would be a great Peach Bowl if they qualify for the postseason. Clemson, the last I-A team to not lose a fumble, lost three fumbles at Georgia Tech, and the game, 10-9. That's two overtime losses, a four-point, final-minute loss at Wake Forest, and now this.
3. You don't have to be Bud Wilkinson to figure out that all the what's-wrong-with-Oklahoma talk can be answered with "Adrian Peterson's ankle." The sophomore led the Sooners to a 31-24 victory at Nebraska, and if he stays healthy enough to play, Oklahoma will run the table, including that season-ender at Texas Tech.
Tech Sets Bar High
Friday, October 28
1. Virginia Tech, with its 30-10 rout of Boston College, set the bar high for the rest of the challengers to Texas and USC. Alabama, Georgia and UCLA have got to bring it just to keep up with the Hokies, much less pass them, especially with Virginia Tech's next game being against No. 6 Miami.
2. The National Football Foundation named its eight I-A Scholar-Athletes, and I don't recall a class making plays and grades like this one. Linebacker DeMeco Ryans of Alabama and center Greg Eslinger of Minnesota are All-Americans. The class has five O-linemen, two QBs and Ryans: defensive minds just got dissed.
3. Virginia Tech made seven trips into the red zone, and came out with two touchdowns and three field goals. For the season, the Hokies are 22-of-26, with 14 touchdowns and eight field goals. Not bad. Compare that to UCLA's red-zone record: 32-of-34, with 27 TDs. One word: astounding.
Ignore The Rumors
Thursday, October 27
1. NFL teams have begun to sniff around Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, according to NFL.com. Let's recall what Weis said when hired: "This is an end-all for our family. We come to Notre Dame, it's with the intent of retiring here. That's why we're coming here. We don't come here to bounce somewhere else."
2. It's one thing to believe Weis, which I do. I even believe Vince Young when he says he's coming back to Texas for his senior season in 2006. Mack Brown's players don't leave early. But if Young changed his mind, it wouldn't surprise me and I wouldn't blast him. That kind of money is hard to turn down.
3. Stanford coach Walt Harris told me a key to his team's resurgence is starting redshirt freshman Allen Smith at left tackle. Freshmen aren't usually allowed to literally protect the quarterback's back. Three games before Smith started: 10 sacks, two TD passes. Three games Smith started: seven sacks, eight TD passes.
Fumble free
Wednesday, October 26
1. Clemson is the last team in the nation this season that hasn't given up a fumble. And coach Burton Burns' running backs have lost only one fumble in 31 games. The Tigers' current backs, James Davis, Reggie Merriweather and Kyle Browning, have 392 career touches with no lost fumbles.
2. Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, in a luncheon speech Monday, blasted ESPN for exerting undue influence on the BCS. Tuberville said we've decided Texas and USC should be in the Rose Bowl, so everyone else can go home. I just wish someone would invite me to the meetings where we make these decisions.
3. Oregon fans are chastising me for projecting Oregon State, and not the Ducks, in the Holiday Bowl. They even accused me of confusing the teams, as if you could confuse that Oregon yellow with anything. Anyway, without quarterback Kellen Clemens, these aren't the same Ducks. I think the Beavers will pass them.
Don't be No. 3
Tuesday, October 25
1. Texas moved narrowly ahead of USC in the new BCS standings. Given that the Horns next three opponents are 1-11 in the Big 12, Texas should fall back to No. 2. But the key to the BCS is: Don't Be No. 3. The margin between Texas and Virginia Tech is nearly as big as that between the Hokies and No. 5 Alabama.
2. This may be the definitive stat on how good the USC offense is: there is no older rushing, passing or total offense record in the NCAA book than the 7.9 yards per play that Army averaged in 1945 with Mr. Inside (Doc Blanchard) and Mr. Outside (Glenn Davis). The Trojans are averaging 7.8 yards per play this season.
3. Michigan coach Lloyd Carr had a hard time Monday deciding what impressed him most about the Northwestern offense: the 67 percent completion percentage, the two interceptions in 271 attempts, the five sacks allowed in seven games, or only 28 punts. All adds up to Brett Basanez being pretty good, doesn't it?
Tennessee power shortage
Monday, October 24
1. Tennessee's 6-3 loss at Alabama is only the second SEC game in Phil Fulmer's 13 seasons as head coach that the Vols failed to score a touchdown, and only the fourth overall in 160 games. But three of those six-less finishes have come in Fulmer's last 37 games. Tennessee hasn't averaged 30 points a game since 2001.
2. And then there were five: The John Unitas Golden Arm Award named seven finalists last week, and two of them failed to reach halftime Saturday. Oregon's Kellen Clemens (broken ankle) or Georgia's D.J. Shockley (sprained knee) may have golden arms, but their wheels are made of less durable stuff.
3. Speaking of injuries, Northern Illinois senior Adrian Davis filled in for the ailing Garrett Wolfe (knee), the No. 4 rusher in Division I-A, and Wolfe's backup, A.J. Harris (shoulder), by rushing for 252 yards and three touchdowns in the Huskies' 34-3 victory over Kent State. As a definition of depth, that'll do.
A new Heisman contender?
Friday, October 21
1. For all the attention that Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick gets, the Hokies are No. 3 because of their defense. Three times the Terps intercepted Vick in the third quarter, and Maryland still hasn't scored a touchdown. The Hokies have allowed six offensive touchdowns in seven games.
2. Cue the violins: I know it's early, but not only is there a chance that Wisconsin and Iowa will be playing for the Big Ten championship on Nov. 12, but they could be doing so at Badgers coach Barry Alvarez's last game at Camp Randall Stadium. I can smell the schmaltz in those game-week stories from here.
3. If you're keeping score on your Heisman scorecard, Reggie Bush has been Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Week twice this season, Vince Young has won the Big 12 honor, and Matt Leinart hasn't won it at all this year. Northwestern quarterback Brett Basanez has won the Big Ten honor two weeks in a row. Hmmm
Fearless Forecast
Thursday, October 20
1. I'm predicting a nor'easter to hit Annapolis on Nov. 5 and another hurricane to hit Houston on Nov. 12. Why? Tulane plays at Navy and Rice, respectively, on those dates, and those are the only two Green Wave games that have yet to be rescheduled in this hurricane-ravaged season.
2. Alabama wide receiver Tyrone Prothro has been in a Tuscaloosa hospital since his broke two bones in his left leg against Florida on Oct. 1. He got an unexpected lift to his spirits Monday, when coach Mike Shula stopped by to say hello and brought with him a get-well-soon letter from none other than President Bush.
3. Make of this what you will: The Florida Atlantic Owls are 1-6. The Rice Owls are 0-5, and the Temple Owls are 0-7. In nature, the owl's greatest enemy is other owls, which figures. Temple is minus-four in turnover margin; FAU, minus-five; and Rice, minus-10.
Maybe Leinart isn't No. 1
Wednesday, October 19
1. One NFL scout watching USC quarterback Matt Leinart warm up Saturday told me there are two reasons he hopes his team won't draft him: one, no one wants to go 2-14 and get that first pick, and two, it's tough to gauge Leinart's talent when the team that picks him will put less talent around him than he has this season.
2. This is only the second time since 1984 that no Big Ten team reached 4-0 in league play. When it happened in 2000, Michigan, Northwestern and Purdue tied for the league title and the Boilermakers went to the Rose Bowl. The big key: non-league losses count in the tiebreaker, not good for Iowa, Ohio State and Michigan.
3. Not sure which is stranger: the Miami RedHawks set an NCAA Division I-A record Saturday by scoring 21 points in 1:00 of their 51-23 victory over Akron. The previous record of 21 points in 1:04, set by Kent State in 1996, came against, yep, Akron.
Freshmen concerns
Tuesday, October 18
1. I'm not suggesting a return to freshman ineligibility, but WR Derrick Williams of Penn State and TB James Davis of Clemson got hurt last week. In recent years, backs Cadillac Williams of Auburn and Marcus Houston, then of Colorado, carried a heavy first-year load and were lost for the season. More than a coincidence?
2. At least five teams that dominated time of possession -- Wake Forest (34:58), Minnesota (35:15), Notre Dame (38:40), Indiana (40:09) and Michigan State (40:59) -- lost close games Saturday. Keeping an offense on the bench can disrupt its rhythm. But better athletes sometimes need only one play to score.
3. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is bringing British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw to the Alabama-Tennessee game to give him a slice of Americana. Rice, a Birmingham native, loves football and grew up loving the Tide. But I don't recall her bringing diplomats home when Bama was going 4-9. Everyone loves a winner.
The top 5, the spike and the shove
Monday, October 17
1. Yeah, it's in the top five games I've attended. In ascending order: Colorado-Michigan, 1994 (Hail Mary); Notre Dame-Florida State, 1993; Alabama-Auburn, 1985 (four fourth-quarter lead changes); Notre Dame-USC, 2005; Miami-Ohio State, the double-overtime Fiesta Bowl that gave the Buckeyes the 2002 title.
2. About The Spike: Pac-10 supervisor of officials Verle Sorgen said Monday that the clock would not have started until the snap. But that's not what referee Jack Ford announced during the game, and that's not the impression that the USC coaches and players had, according to their postgame interviews.
3. About The Shove: Yes, what Reggie Bush did should have been penalized five yards. You can't help the runner. And what Bush did is done every Saturday. Find the last time any official in any game called that penalty. And until Joe West gives up his chest protector for a striped shirt, it won't be called anytime soon.
Sick of ND-USC talk?
Friday, October 14
1. I understand why fans of other schools are sick of USC and Notre Dame. Saturday's game is a gift: not just any two highly ranked teams, but USC and Notre Dame; not just any traditional rivalry -- you get the point. But, boy, is it sucking up a lot of oxygen. Are there any other games being played Saturday?
2. Same ol' North Carolina State. On its first possession, the Wolfpack commits two penalties and kills its drive. Late in the first quarter, three penalties help Clemson to its first touchdown. Next Tigers' possession, same deal: three State penalties, Clemson touchdown. The way to beat the 'Pack? Let them do it themselves.
3. Last week, the face value of the Texas-OU ticket was $85. Earlier this year, Michigan-Michigan State went for $70. Yesterday, Virginia Tech announced that coach Frank Beamer's salary is going from $1.4 million to $2 million. Who's giving coaches $600,000 raises? Look in the mirror, Mr. Ticket Buyer.
Turning the Page
Wednesday, October 12
1. No wonder UCLA senior strong safety Jarrad Page took that fake punt 38 yards to the Cal 20 in the fourth quarter. As a senior at San Leandro (Calif.) High in 2001, Page rushed for 1,014 yards on only 84 carries. He didn't carry again until Saturday. Why not? The Bruins, down 40-28, came back to win, 47-40.
2. Florida State quarterback Drew Weatherford may have a long way to go, but five games into his career, the improvement in the Seminoles' quarterback play over last season is significant. Last season, through five games, the 'Noles' QBs had turned the ball over 15 times. This year, five times.
3. A reminder of a story that made news a few months back: there will be no instant replay in the USC-Notre Dame game Saturday. Since it's a nonconference game, both teams must agree to have instant replay. Trojans coach Pete Carroll didn't agree. He's not a fan of it.
Buck up, little Sooner
Tuesday, October 11
1. Chin up, Sooners. Texas senior linebacker Aaron Harris praised Oklahoma freshman quarterback Rhett Bomar (12-33-1, 94 yards, three sacks). "Bomar is going to be really good," Harris said. "We got after him and he didn't step back. He was still trying to run guys over, still trying to make plays. He didn't give up."
2. One man's first-round Lombardi Award vote: 1. Elvis Dumervil, Louisville. 2. Rodrique Wright, Texas. 3. Mathias Kiwanuka, Boston College. 4. Max Jean-Gilles, Georgia. I love what Dumervil's doing. Offense know he's coming, and they're not stopping him.
3. Look at the effect Kiwanuka had on Virginia offensive tackle Brian Butler. A three-year starter with no history of cheap shots, Butler reduced himself to a chop block at the back of Kiwanuka's knees last Saturday. Butler got a one-game suspension -- and provided more evidence of how good Kiwanuka really is.
A Big Step For The BCS
Monday, October 10
1. The BCS will name Bill Hancock as its administrator Monday morning. "It's very much a behind-the-scenes job," Hancock said Sunday. "The conferences and Notre Dame manage the BCS." Still, this is a big step. The commissioners wanted to operate the BCS out of their hip pocket. The games outgrew their pants.
2. One week after the Tyrone Prothro debate at Alabama, Texas coach Mack Brown addressed why Vince Young took every snap of the Horns 45-12 blowout of Oklahoma. "I wanted him to enjoy it," Brown said. "He's won 12 straight games. He's 22-2 as a starter. Right or wrong, we thought he had earned it."
3. That's Joe Paterno, Head Football Coach, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802. That's where all of you Nittany Lions can write JoePa and apologize for all of those things you've said about him over the last five years.
A Stunning Prediction
Friday, October 7
1. Having looked at the Texas-Oklahoma teams pretty closely over the last few days, and being absolutely aware of the history of the rivalry, and with the caveat that I'm judging the Sooners more on the first three weeks of the season than the last two (off week, Kansas State), I'll be stunned if the Longhorns don't win. Stunned.
2. The last two years, Ohio State played a conference game on the road in prime time and lost: at Wisconsin two years ago and at Northwestern last year. The difference is that this season the Buckeyes are experienced and the Nittany Lions are not. Pretty big difference, even at Beaver Stadium.
3. Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles has withheld permission from Auburn to show their Oct. 15 game on pay-per-view. Funny, but Auburn granted Broyles that same permission at least twice in the last decade. Is whatever marketing reason Broyles has worth the bad blood he'll generate within the SEC? Nope.
Seems Like Old Times
Thursday, October 6
1. The ACC split into two divisions, but it's looking like the old days for Florida State. If Virginia wins at Boston College and FSU beats Wake Forest, then the Seminoles will have a two-game lead in the loss column over the Atlantic Division except for Maryland. And the Terps must go to Tallahassee (Oct. 29).
2. TCU junior quarterback Jeff Ballard, in his first start, wins Mountain West Player of the Week. For an encore, he faces a Wyoming defense that has intercepted at least two passes in each of the last four games. Ballard and Tye Gunn haven't thrown a pick in 95 attempts, going back to the shocking loss at SMU.
3. The Sugar Bowl's move to Atlanta for one season is not a first. The 1942 Rose Bowl, played shortly after Pearl Harbor, was held in Durham, N.C., because of security restrictions on the west coast. Don't get your hopes up for the Sugar Bowl, Georgia fans. The home crowd didn't help: Oregon State beat Duke, 20-16.
Paper Bears
Wednesday, October 5
1. Of the 12 remaining I-A unbeatens, all are from the six biggest conferences. Only one -- California -- has yet to beat either a ranked team or a I-A team that currently has a winning record. That's not to pick on the Bears. Texas Tech and Georgia haven't exactly faced the 1927 Yankees, either.
2. I don't pretend to be an expert -- OK, I do pretend to be an expert -- but there's not a week goes by that South Carolina doesn't seem to get worse, not better. Twice in the first three snaps, the Gamecocks couldn't get the right players on the field Saturday night at Auburn. Steve Spurrier has got to coach those coaches.
3. Beware of Maryland. Beginning late in the third quarter against Virginia, the Terps scored on touchdown drives of 80, 94 and 80 yards. Quarterback Sam Hollenbach went 11-of-13 after halftime for 165 yards. No. 3 Virginia Tech's toughest test before Miami on Nov. 5 will be at College Park on Thursday night, Oct. 20.
Simply Amazing
Tuesday, October 4
1. One of the mysteries of the season will be how Memphis found 236 yards and two touchdowns for tailback DeAngelo Williams against UTEP. You, me and everyone else knew that the Tigers, having lost their top two quarterbacks to injury, had only Williams as an offensive threat. Amazing.
2. As Texas A&M prepared to play Baylor, which had its only Big 12 victory last year against the Aggies, coach Dennis Franchione told his team, "If I've got to say much to you to get you ready to play this week, you shouldn't be wearing maroon." That's what makes the Aggies' overtime win so troubling.
3. Texas tight end David Thomas thinks he won't see a linebacker better this season than Ohio State senior A.J. Hawk, who had 12 tackles, two sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery in the Horns' 25-23 win. "You don't meet many guys who can play such such a physical game and still hit you with speed," Thomas said.
Facing the fire
Monday, October 3
1. Texas, returning from a 51-20 victory at Missouri, must face up to two drives that ended inside the Tigers 5-yard line without points; to 135 yards in penalties; to a missed extra point after a holding call made it a 30-yard kick. The Horns have enough demons to battle this week without battling themselves.
2. Memo to Florida coach Urban Meyer: you may want to do something to change your signals, or quarterback Chris Leak's cadences. Alabama linebacker DeMeco Ryans said the Tide defense figured them out. "You hear the signals, and they kept repeating the signals. We're college students. We picked up on that."
3. As Florida State quarterback Wyatt Sexton battles Lyme disease, he should hear Syracuse coach Greg Robinson, who studied video of the 2004 Seminoles to prepare for their game last Saturday: "I'd take that kid in a heartbeat. Good movement. He's accurate. He does know what he's seeing. I was very impressed."
Drop zone
Friday, September 30
1. Alabama linebacker Freddie Roach has dropped somewhere around six picks this year, including two against Arkansas. "I'm going to put him out there with the JUGS gun," coach Mike Shula said, chuckling. "Maybe we need something other than a 62-year-old arm (defensive coordinator Joe Kines) throwing to him."
2. Sixteen months ago, I sat in JoePa's office and listened to him say, "I'd like to have one more great football team." He then hinted that his '05 team would be much better. The next three weeks, Penn State plays No. 18 Minnesota, No. 8 Ohio State and Michigan. Now we find out.
3. A Stillwater reader who, evidently, isn't upset by Les Miles' departure, read the nagging questions in For Argument's Sake and pointed out two Oklahoma State losses in 2001 when the Cowboys had at least a 12-point lead, and a few wins when they nearly squandered big leads. There's more evidence than I thought.
Carry on
Thursday, September 29
1. Minnesota's Laurence Maroney, the leading rusher in I-A, averages 28.3 carries per game. Wisconsin's Brian Calhoun, who's third, averages 31.7 carries. Can they keep up the pace? In the last six seasons, the rushing champion has averaged 30 carries only once: LaDainian Tomlinson of TCU in 2000 (33.5).
2. It's a wonder that more schools don't arrange this: Central Florida practices in the morning. The players are done by lunch. They take their classes in the afternoon. The coaches like the schedule because they beat the heat, they get the players fresh, and there's nothing like an early practice to enforce curfew.
3. Until the NCAA released an e-mail listing the 11 previous I-A games matching African-American head coaches, it hadn't even occurred to me that UCLA and Washington had them. To me, that's progress, just as we don't even think about whether quarterbacks are black or white anymore.
Nowhere to run
Wednesday, September 28
1. How can Florida State average fewer than 100 rushing yards per game with tailbacks like Lorenzo Booker and Leon Washington? The offensive linemen are still learning to zone block. Defenses plan to take away the run and make young Drew Weatherford beat them with his arm. Once he does, the run will open up.
2. I have to admit that I believed Tennessee tailback Gerald Riggs, Jr., was all helmet and no cattle. But after watching Riggs' winning touchdown in overtime against LSU, when he met Tiger linebacker Cameron Vaughn at the 1, stood him up and drove him into the end zone, I get it now. I get it.
3. Purdue, with 21 returning starters and a favorable schedule, was the smart guy's Big Ten pick. Though the Boilers lost five games by four points or fewer in 2004, the presumption was that with experience, they would find a way to win the close one. Then came the loss at Minnesota. In overtime. Same song, different year.
What A Comeback
Tuesday, September 27
1. You'll never see a gutsier comeback than Tennessee made last night. The Vols proved they're good enough to gift-wrap two touchdowns to a top-10 team on the road and then beat it anyway. LSU had five first-half possessions end on the plus-side of the 50 with no points. That will smart for a long time.
2. West Virginia freshman Pat McAfee missed one extra point and two field goals against East Carolina. This is not the week for McAfee to lose his confidence. No. 3 Virginia Tech is next, and no team knocks down more kicks than the Hokies. They broke open the Georgia Tech game with a blocked field goal last week.
3. No coincidence: No. 1 USC goes into October without losing a fumble. So does Virginia Tech. No. 5 Florida ends September without throwing a pick. And No. 20 UCLA, a year after coughing it up 26 times in 12 games, has played gift-free. That's why the Bruins have their first 3-0 start in four years.
Class Act
Monday, September 26
1. On the day before 10-year-old Montana Mazurkiewicz, named for Joe, died of brain cancer Friday, Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis visited him and let him call the first play vs. Washington. Even from the Irish 1, Weis sent in Montana's pass. Brady Quinn completed it. Yesterday, Montana's family got a game ball. God bless Charlie Weis.
2. USC tailback Reggie Bush described his 11-yard touchdown run against Oregon, in which he started around left end, circled back behind the 20, and won a footrace to the right pylon, this way: "I just cut back and did what I always do." Yeah, that pretty much covers it.
3. You can't make this up: Texas Tech coach Mike Leach only lets two players speak publicly during to the week to limit popping off. So quarterback-spokesman Cody Hodges suggests scoring 100 against winless I-AA Indiana State. Leach, ever the humanitarian, shut down the offense in the second half of a 63-7 win.
We Fear Change
Friday, September 23
1. Coaches are all about routine, but Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer is having to make it up as he goes against LSU. The Vols are traveling the day of the game, and now, as their week of practice tapers down, the game gets moved back two days to Monday night. The whole scenario doesn't bode well for the Vols.
2. Teams play early-season conference games because TV wants good games in September. The downside of that is you can lose two and fall out of the race before October arrives. Tennessee is up against that wall. So, too, is the Boston College-Clemson loser in the ACC Atlantic. TV pays, but it costs something, too.
3. A belated congrats to Colorado coach Gary Barnett, who, in his 16th season as a head coach, with three conference championships (two Big Ten, one Big 12) to his credit, Barnett is over .500 for the first time (79-78-1). Slap his back quickly, though. If the Buffs lose at Miami on Saturday, it's back to .500.
Lexington Blues
Thursday, September 22
1. It's not the record that Kentucky coach Rich Brooks hope to set in his third year in Lexington. The Wildcats have lost six starters and six backups for the season because of injury. It took Brooks six years to get 20 wins at Oregon, 13 years to go to a bowl game and 18 to go to the Rose Bowl. No one's that patient anymore.
2. What's more impressive: Louisville's Elvis Dumervil's nine sacks in two games or Nebraska's 20 sacks in three games? I'll take Dumervil, even if the Huskers are only five short of their 2004 total. No other I-A player, even those who have played three games, has more than 5.5 sacks.
3. What a mess for Southern Mississippi. They've gone from having two games in the month of November to four, thanks to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. All four are C-USA games, and three are currently scheduled in a span of 11 days (Nov. 8, Marshall; Nov. 13, Houston; Nov. 19, Memphis). That's no way to win a division.
Scheduling Stories
Wednesday, September 21
1. With Hurricane Rita coming, Texas A&M announces today its plans for Saturday's game against Texas State. Maybe Aggies will let up on Bill Curry, who refused to bring his Alabama team to a 1988 game because of a hurricane. The storm veered into Mexico, Saturday was sunny, and Aggies mock Curry still.
2. Great news for Florida: junior defensive end Ray McDonald's ACL tear is small enough that he'll be out "four to six weeks." That means the Gators' most experienced pass rusher could back for the stretch run starting with archrival Georgia. His string of 22 straight starts, alas, is over.
3. As badly as the Sugar Bowl wants to play in Tiger Stadium, getting an answer in two weeks seems impossible. Forget available hotels and buses. Will it be a reward for the players? Here's an idea: take them to what's left of New Orleans, hand them hammers and put them to work. The Habitat for Humanity Bowl.
Flag Day
Tuesday, September 20
1. Michigan State regrets "planting the flag" at Notre Dame Stadium. It may not have occurred if Notre Dame had thought to bring the Megaphone Trophy to the game. Without it, the Spartans found another way to celebrate. Someone delivered the Megaphone to the Spartans' buses as they were about to leave.
2. In case you missed it: after Minnesota took apart Florida Atlantic Saturday, visiting coach Howard Schnellenberger called the Gophers' offensive line the best one he has seen since the 1983 Nebraska team. Those Huskers are the ones that Schnellenberger's Miami team upset to win the national championship.
3. The good news for Oregon is that its best pass rusher, end Devan Long, is expected back Saturday for USC. Long and tackle Haloti Ngata are very good together. The bad news is that cornerbacks Aaron Gipson and Justin Phinisee are still 5-9 and 5-11, respectively. Trojan star wideout Dwayne Jarrett is still 6-5.
Reality Bites
Monday, September 19
1. Now that Notre Dame has lost, the center of the detached-from-reality universe shifts to my home state. Alabama's 37-14 victory at South Carolina is big, yes, and the Crimson Tide is better than anyone believed. But the Tide's lack of depth doesn't bode well for a SEC West championship run.
2. If you missed USC's 70-17 victory over Arkansas on Saturday night, take a minute and read the play-by-play. It's stunning. In Matt Leinart's eight series, the Trojans scored seven touchdowns. The other possession consisted of three plays before the half. It may be the most efficient offensive performance ever.
3. Joe Tiller can't help being contrary. Tiller revolutionized Big Ten offenses with his "basketball on grass" and took the Boilermakers to the 2001 Rose Bowl. Now that more people are throwing, Purdue plowed over Arizona with 239 yards and four rushing TDs. The Boilers may get to Pasadena doing that, too.
Calming influence
Friday, September 16
1. As late as midweek, stories out of Tennessee said freshman middle linebacker Jerod Mayo would start against Florida for senior Jason Mitchell, who hurt his knee against UAB two weeks ago. Coach Phil Fulmer said Thursday that Mitchell looked good enough to start. Nothing calms a coach in a big game like a senior leader.
2. The recruiting gurus -- and recruiters, too -- overlooked Katy (Texas) Mayde Creek High tailback Aaron Brown last year after he played only one game last season. Brown, listed as third-string for TCU last night against Utah, debuted with 163 yards on 17 carries. That's Lonta Hobbs (groin injury) in the role of Wally Pipp.
3. Keep an eye on Northwestern going to Arizona State on Saturday night. The Sun Devils had an eye on that LSU game all summer, and suffered a gut-wrenching loss. The next two weeks are tough Pac-10 games at Oregon State and home for USC. The 'Cats (2-0) have a history of beating teams that overlook them.
Chain Reaction
Thursday, September 15
1. Oklahoma tailback Adrian Peterson was held out of two practices this week as punishment for missing three classes in the same subject. But there's no question about whether he'll play. The Sooners' best game plan is to keep Drew Olsen, Maurice Drew and Marcedes Lewis on the bench. Peterson will make it easier to keep the chains moving.
2. I'm not sure what to make of this: the Syracuse defense is second in Division I-A in third-down efficiency (4-31, 12.9 percent). The Syracuse offense is second-to-last in third-down efficiency (16.1). You would think that quarterback Perry Patterson would get into a game and find an easier defense than he faced in practice. So far, that's not the case.
3. Someone asked Georgia Tech senior wideout Damarius Bilbo about how quarterback Reggie Ball looks too much for sophomore all-everything Calvin Johnson. "The only response that I have to that is, wouldn't you? If you were a quarterback, wouldn't you?" You have to admit that he's got a point.

(I did 9333s as well). <div> </div> <div> </div> In my opinion, SanFS was great, but it sucked at the same time. It's target market was larger IT shops, but it was homogeneous. To put it another way, I had large shops that saw it, loved it, wanted to buy it, but also wanted to hook Windows, AIX, Solaris and HP/UX all up to it. SanFS supported 50% of that. By virtue of it not being heterogeneous enough, it was doomed. <div> </div> <div> </div> And that is the exact reason the SVC is so powerful and cool. It truly is heterogeneous. I can use it with multiple server OSes, multiple SAN hardware vendors. If it didn't, it would probably be collecting dust the same way SanFS did. <div> </div> <div> </div> I agree it was ahead of its time. If it was a complete solution, more people would have bought it. It morphed into SOFS/SONAS today, sharing some of those legacy pieces, I'm sure. <div> </div> <div> </div> The only problem I have with the SVC today is the pricing is a bit steep. It's the best product on the market, but it's quickly becoming not the only product. You guys are doing a great job at innovation with the unit. I'd hate to see market share of that best product (IMHO) die by being priced out by newer cheaper solutions. (EMC woke up and realized Invista was not all that, or anything for that matter, and bought themselves something that will be something someday. Now is the time to solidify the leadership position by lowering the price a bit, or change the pricing model altogether.)

Comments about La Sportiva Boulder X Shoe - Women's:
Have only worn once but already feel better than any of the other hiker or approach shoe I have tried. For a low shoe, has great overall support including around the ankle. Not super light and a bit bulkier shoe than the Tennie so not sure how they will work as far as carrying up multi pitch climbs for walkouts.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

MOC: Minifig Greenhouse
Posted 02 December 2012 - 04:26 AM
<Takes deep breath>
Here's my first published MOC on Eurobricks.
I had purchased the Apple Tree House last year, but felt it was lacking in something, but I couldn't put my finger on exactly what. Then I had a chance to visit my closest Lego Shop and grap a whole bunch of 2 x 2 Trans Clear Panels. Bingo! I'd build a greenhouse for the original Creator Kit. I hadn't seen too many other Lego MOC Greenhouses and had nothing to go on, so after a bit of trial and error and a Bricklink order to fill in the missing hinges this is what I came up with.
The roof isn't physically attached to the base, but the Minifig is very busy at work inside looking after the young plants
But he's got to be careful of the Triffid in the corner!
Hope you like it! Let me know what improvements I could make to it.

The only thing I would change is to add some clear cheese slopes on the top part of the walls that the roof sits on (where the exposed studs are). This would reduce the blockiness of that part of the building and just smooth it out a little.
I am curious about the brown and tan building in the background. Looks like a nice house.

Dang! I'd forgotten about the cheese - I was looking for a stack of Trans Slope 45 1 x 2, but they seemed so expensive
The Brown and Tan building in the background is a WIP for an old half timbered house. It still needs some fettling and an interior, but it's coming along.
Thanks for everyone's comments!

OPINION: ''Yes, I'll tell you a story," I said, "but no, I won't tell you a new one. There aren't any new ones. There are only old ones rehashed. Same plot, new actors. The Greeks nailed all the good stories before Christ was spawned and we've just been retelling them since.
"They're simple things. You know them already. For example, a man lusts after wealth and glory and deceives his way to the top. But he finds that one deception breeds the need for more deceptions, until the edifice of deceit creaks, totters and crashes and the man dies a shrivelled nothing. Alternatively, he realises his triumph is hollow precisely because he deceived his way to it. Riven by guilt, he confesses all, divests himself of his wealth and spends the rest of his life wearing only a loin cloth from The Warehouse and doing good works.
"Or, and I think you'll immediately recognise the relevance of this one; a top athlete is brought low by medical trauma. He undergoes surgery. It is uncertain that he'll live, let alone return to his sport. But for this man, odds exist to be defied. Within six months of submitting to the surgeon's knife he is back on the . . . what? Lance who? You mean the drug cheat? Oh, get off the grass. I'm talking of me. Though I'll acknowledge the synchronicity.
"For on the day of Mr Armstrong's confession (and we'll come to that in a moment) I woke and grinned. Though I was suffering from a sore head, shoulder, forearm, small of the back, all of the back, buttocks and ankle, I grinned because my knee was fine. Back in July that knee was meat on the surgeon's table, and I feared it would never fully recover, yet now, just six months later it had returned to the squash court and survived. What's more, I won the game. Can you believe that? I beat the mighty Grumbler.
"No, of course the game wasn't televised. Sport is something to do, not something to watch. And that's the whole of Lance's undoing. If the world would only stop watching sport from the sofa or parking its lardy-arsed campervan halfway up some French mountain in order to catch a glimpse of 200 monomaniac ectomorphs pedalling past and would instead plant its own lardy- arse on a bike seat and indulge in a bit of happiness-inducing competitive exercise, there would be no wealth and glory to tempt the Lance Armstrongs of this world and he could have led a blameless and heart-whole life selling real estate in Houston.
"But no. We prefer in this passive age to live our lives by proxy, to let other people act out the stories for us. And thus we arrive at the ridiculous situation of Tiger Woods, say, he of the pinging cocktail waitresses, earning more money a year than Belgium.
"But I was trying to tell you about my rout of The Grumbler. He and I have been thrashing it out on the squash court for a quarter of a century. We've played over a thousand games. We go there to release that stuff in the system that, as Ted Hughes put it, 'bulls in June bellow away'.
"It's the primordial urge that we once needed to survive in a predatory world, but that's not much use in a shopping mall. But it's still there, lurking genetically, and to channel it harmlessly into the rule-bound arena of sport, be it squash, lawn bowls or . . . what confession? Lance's confession? Don't make me laugh.
"Confession is when guilt drives you to a dark little box with a grille concealing a pair of ears. You tell the ears what your conscience has been telling you throughout the sleepless night. The ears say nothing, as is the habit of ears. They are there merely to seal the pact you've made with your better self. And you emerge free, shriven, straight of spine and honest to goodness. So the nub of confession is that it's (a) voluntary and (b) private.
"Armstrong's was neither. He fessed up only when cornered, and he did so on camera in some hideous Houston hotel with the queen of prurient mawkishness. That wasn't confession. That was an exercise in self-serving public relations, mere entertainment for the lardy-arses.
"Whereas my triumph over The Grumbler, leading , as you may recall, to a sore head, shoulder, forearm . . . what? Oh no, squash doesn't make your head sore. That's from going afterwards for far too many celebratory beers.
"What? Oh, I see, performance- impairing drugs. That's very good."

I applied online – interviewed at Aetna.Interview Details
I am leaving this review as more of a word of caution. I applied for an Aetna Customer service rep position and I actually got a call from a recruiter. Unfortunately I was unable to answer the call as I was assisting someone as a translator at a doctor's appointment. The recruiter left her phone number in a voicemail and I promptly called back 3 minutes later. I left a voice message and called back seven times throughout the day. And I've been calling sporadically throughout this week. That was last Friday, and today is February 25.
Nobody bothered to answer my message if even to AT LEAST tell me that all candidates have been scheduled for an interview. When I called the recruiter back, she sounded (her voice mail message) like she was already being asked for too much by being expected to breath on her own; this included the phrase "I'll TRY to call you back" in her voice mail message.
So I implore anyone reading this - if you applied for Aetna and see a call from Chicago on your caller ID (I guess that's where their recruiters are based), try to answer it immediately. It looks like these people hire for numbers and aren't really trying to hire based on qualifications. For example, they can't reach one person and just keep going down their long list of phone numbers. THEY..WILL..NOT...CALL... YOU... BACK. I do not understand what the point of leaving prospective employees a voice mail if you have no intentions of either calling them back, or answering their questions.
I'd really hate to think that I missed out on an opportunity of employment because a recruiter was just on autopilot all day. I cannot imagine what exactly is happening to the American work force if it is impossible to even connect with a RECRUITER! A RECRUITER! That's the FRONT LINE of the hiring process! That's like saying that you're in the order line at Starbucks, but it's impossible to speak to a barista.Interview Questions

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court unanimously struck down the 35-foot protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts Thursday, declaring it an unconstitutional restraint on the free-speech rights of protesters.
High court voids abortion clinic protest-free zone
Authorities have less intrusive ways to deal with potential confrontations or other problems that can arise outside clinics, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. Roberts noted that most of the problems reported by police and the clinics in Massachusetts occurred outside a single Planned Parenthood facility in Boston, and only on Saturdays when the largest crowds typically gather.
"For a problem shown to arise only once a week in one city at one clinic, creating 35-foot buffer zones at every clinic across the Commonwealth is hardly a narrowly tailored solution," Roberts said. He wrote the majority opinion after asking no questions — exceedingly rare for him — at the argument in January.
Roberts noted that no other state has a similar law and that he is aware of only five cities that have created fixed buffer zones around abortion clinics: Burlington, Vermont; Pittsburgh; Portland, Maine, and San Francisco and Santa Barbara in California.
The ruling also left intact a high court decision from 2000 that upheld a floating buffer zone in Colorado.
While the court was unanimous in the overall outcome, Roberts joined with the four liberal justices to strike down the buffer zone on narrower grounds than the other, more conservative justices wanted.
In a separate opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia criticized Roberts' opinion as carrying forward "this court's practice of giving abortion-rights advocates a pass when it comes to suppressing the free-speech rights of their opponents."
Scalia said state and local governments around the country would continue to be able to "restrict antiabortion speech without fear of rigorous constitutional review." Joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas, Scalia dissented from the Colorado decision and said Thursday he would have overturned it.
Still, abortion rights advocates lamented the new ruling and said it compromised the safety of women seeking abortions.
"This decision shows a troubling level of disregard for American women, who should be able to make carefully considered, private medical decisions without running a gantlet of harassing and threatening protesters," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Nearing the end of its 2013-14 term, the court decided another potentially significant case Thursday, ruling that temporary, recess appointments made by President Barack Obama to the National Labor Relations Board in 2012 were illegal because the Senate was not, in fact, in recess when Obama acted. In that case as well, the court was unanimous about the outcome but divided over the reasoning.
The justices will meet one last time on Monday to hand down decisions in cases involving the Obama health law requirement that employers cover women's contraception in their employee health plans and the ability of unions representing government employees to collect fees from workers who don't wish to join the union..
