It's not as if much was expected from Army this season, but when
Navy and Air Force grab bowl bids in the same season, it shines
a flood light on the Black Knights' ineptitude. The academy
dropped its final six games after climbing to 3-3, none more
embarrassing than a sixth consecutive loss to the Middies that
added an exclamation point to the growing divide between the two
rivals. Although Army's problems were boundless, an abundance
of turnovers and a dreadful run defense were the primary
culprits in an 11th losing season in-a-row.
Offensive Player of the Year: WR Jeremy Trimble
Defensive Player of the Year: S Caleb Campbell
Biggest Surprise: Coming back to beat Tulane, 20-17, in
overtime on Oct. 6. Seemingly headed to a defeat, the Knights
went 80 yards in the final 29 seconds of regulation, getting a
game-tying, 36-yard touchdown pass from a third-string
quarterback as time expired. It evened Army's record at 3-3,
representing a high point in the season for the program.
Biggest Disappointment: Failing to make Navy even break a
sweat in its 38-3 loss on Dec. 1. Yeah, bowing to the Middies
is becoming a habit around West Point, but managing a measly
field goal against a bad defense, and losing by double-digits
for the sixth straight year is fast becoming
Looking Ahead: First-year head coach Stan Brock is open
to any and all changes that he can adopt with the constraints of
working at a service academy. The Black Knights might want to
consider more use of the triple-option, which has helped Army
and Navy bridge the wedge between themselves and deeper

Navy 38 ... Army 3
Navy dominated throughout with Reggie Campbell running for a
12-yard score and answering Army's only score, a 28-yard Owen
Tolson second quarter field goal, with a 98-yard return for a
touchdown. Zerbin Singleton started off the scoring with a
38-yard run late in the first quarter, and Shun White and Jarod
Bryant each ran for one-yard scores. Army only converted one of
12 third down chances and had the ball for a mere 4:06 in the
fourth quarter.
Player of the game:
Navy RB Reggie
Campbell ran five times for 47 yards and a touchdown, caught a
pass for nine yards, returned three punts for 73 yards, and
returned a kickoff for a 98-yard touchdown.
Stat Leaders: Navy - Passing:
Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada, 2-5, 7 yds

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Nothing worked for Army. Navy is getting thrown on by everyone,
but the Black Knights failed to get the passing game going,
Jeremy Trimble caught just one pass for five yards, and the
offense was miserable on third downs. For the most part, the
defense did a nice job against the Navy running game. It got
pounded on in the fourth quarter, but yet another loss in the
rivalry could hardly be blamed on the D. Tony Dace ran for
yards, but wasn't effective. Once again, Army saw just how far
it needs to go.
Nov. 17
Tulsa 49 ... Army 39
Tulsa's offense was humming all cylinders with 622 yards, but
the outcome was in doubt until Paul Smith ran for a one-yard score
with 1:33 to play. Smith added touchdown passes from 50 yards out to
Brennan Marion, with ten seconds to play in the first half, and from
15 yards out to Trae Johnson in the fourth quarter to keep up with
the Army passing attack. Carson Williams threw for a career-high 328
yards with three touchdown passes including two to Jeremy Trimble. A
nine-yard Tony Dace run pulled the Black Knights within three, but
Army lost a fumble on a late drive leading to the Smith score. Caleb
Campbell made 16 tackles for Army, while Alain Karatepeyan led the
way with 15 stops for the Golden Hurricane.
Player of the game:
Tulsa QB Paul Smith completed 22 of 32 passes for
390 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score.
Stat Leaders: Tulsa - Passing: Paul Smith,
22-32, 390 yds, 2 TD
Rushing: Tarrion Adams, 17-118, 2 TD. Receiving: Trae
Johnson, 9-119, 1 TD
Army - Passing: Carson Williams, 26-38, 328 yds,
Rushing: Tony Dace, 14-69, 1 TD. Receiving: Jeremy
Trimble, 11-167, 2 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Army might have given up 622 yards to
Tulsa in the loss, and it might have been the team's fifth straight
defeat, but there was one major positive: the passing game. After
throwing for just 44 yards in the loss to Rutgers, Carlton Williams
aired it out for 328 yards and three touchdowns showing the
potential that makes him one of the best-looking passing prospects
in Army history. Jeremy Trimble made history becoming the school's
all-time leading receiver with 11 catches for 167 yards and two
touchdowns. He should light up the horrible Navy secondary like a
Christmas tree.
Nov. 9
Rutgers 41 ... Army 6
Ray Rice set a school-record with 243 rushing yards, with
touchdown runs from 18 and three yards out, and QB Jabu Lovelace ran
for scores from three and two yards out, in an easy win for the
Scarlet Knights. Lovelace score his first touchdown on Rutgers'
opening drive, but Army was able to come back quickly when Mike
Teel, who stepped in for Lovelace despite having an injured thumb,
threw the ball to Josh Mitchell who returned the pick 65 yards for a
touchdown. That would be all the fun the Black Knights would have,
as Adam DeMarco missed the extra point, Rutgers' Colin McEvoy
returned a blocked punt for a score, and the rout was on. Army
turned it over five times with four fumbles.
Player of the
Rutgers RB Ray Rice
ran 34 times for 243 yards and two touchdowns
Stat Leaders: Rutgers - Passing: Jabu Lovelace,
2-8, 28 yds

Britt, 2-30
Army - Passing: Carlton Williams, 5-16, 44 yds,
Rushing: Ian Smith, 3-53. Receiving: Jeremy Trimble, 3-32
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Army was going to need to be perfect to
have a shot against Rutgers, and it wasn't, turning the ball over
five times, going 0 for 11 on third downs, and failing to build on
the momentum of the early pick six from Colin McEvoy. Caleb Campbell
had a great day, but it wasn't a positive that he had to make stop
after stop; the defensive front didn't hold up. Even against a team
like Rutgers, Carlton Mitchell has to throw better. Granted, his
receivers were rarely open, but there's no excuse for completing
just five of 16 passes.
Nov. 3
Georgia Tech 34 ... Army 10
Georgia Tech had few problems with Army, cranking out 510
yards of total offense, getting past a 10-10 first half tie to score
the final 24 points of the game, but top running back Tashard
Choice, who scored on a one-yard run in the first half, was lost to
a knee injury. The rest of the offense picked up the slack, with
Rashaun Grant running for a 24-yard score and Jonathan Dwyer and
Jamaal Evans each running for short scores. Army got its touchdown
on a 27-yard Jeremy Trimble catch.
Player of the game: Georgia Tech RB Rashaun Grant ran 11 times
for 119 yards and a touchdown
Stat Leaders: Georgia Tech - Passing: Taylor
Bennett, 13-24, 207 yds

Rushing: Patrick Mealy, 18-86. Receiving: Jeremy Trimble,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Carson Williams continues to struggle.
The Georgia Tech defense is hardly one to have a big day against,
but Williams, coming off a three interception day against Central
Michigan, threw three more picks this week and only completed nine
of 23 passes. Patrick Mealy and the running game worked well, but if
Army is going to get better, Williams has to improve his efficiency.

Central Michigan 47 ... Army 23
Dan LeFevour ran for touchdowns from one, 17, four and five
yards out, and threw first half scoring passes to Bryan Anderson and
Justin Hoskins as CMU rolled to a 33-9 lead and cruised from there.
Army had its moments thanks to a huge day from Jeremy Trimble, who
caught touchdown passes from eight and 21 yards out, and finished
with 169 receiving yards, but it wasn't nearly enough. CMU forced
seven turnovers, with five interceptions, including three and a
15-yard pick six from Josh Gordy.
Player of the
Central Michigan
QB Dan LeFevour completed 30 of 39 passes for 251 yards and two
touchdowns with an interception, and ran 14 times for 100 yards and
four touchdowns.

Army - Passing: Carson Williams, 18-23, 201 yds,
Rushing: Tony Dace, 14-46. Receiving: Jeremy Trimble,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Army can't turn it over to have any shot
against teams like Central Michigan, Giving it away seven times
means a blowout for anyone, but especially for a Black Knight
defense that can't hold up when dealing with short field after short
field. On the plus side, Jeremy Trimble once again showed what a
weapon he can be with an 11-catch, 168-yard, two touchdown day. His
emergence has allowed Carson Williams to progress. Williams had an
interesting day, misfiring on just five of 23 throws, but three of
them went for picks.
Oct. 6
Army 20 ... Tulane 17 OT
The Army comeback became complete with Owen Tolson hit a
25-yard field goal in overtime, and then Tulane's Ross Thevenot
missed a 34-yard try wile left. The Green Wave dominated, outgaining
Army 401 yards to 240, thanks to a huge day from Matt Forte, who
outgained the Black Knights by himself with 247 total yards and
touchdown runs from two and 33 yards out. But Army came back in the
fourth quarter with a 36-yard Tolson field goal and a 36-yard Mike
Wright touchdown catch as time ran out to force overtime.
Player of the game:
the loss, Tulane RB Matt Forte rushed for 202 yards and two
touchdowns on 32 carries, adding five catches for 45 yards.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Is
Kevin Dunn the new main man? With David Pevoto and Carson Williams
hurt, Dunn stepped in and delivered against Tulane in the fourth
quarter, highlighted by an 80-yard touchdown drive in 29 seconds to
force overtime. The running game was non-existent, and the O line
couldn't come up with a lick of pass protection, but the Black
Knights got the win and now are 3-3 going into the Central Michigan
Sept. 29
Army 37 ... Temple 21
Army only gained 329 yards of total offense, but started off
the game with an 88-yard kickoff return for a score from Corey
Anderson, got a fumble recovery in the end zone, and got an 85-yard
punt return for a touchdown from Jeremy Trimble. Temple managed to
tie it at 21 going into halftime, thanks to a 27-yard Bruce Francis
touchdown catch and two Jason Harper scores. But five turnovers and
a slew of penalties ended up proving to be too costly. Trimble put
the nail in the coffin with a 69-yard touchdown catch early in the
Player of the game:
Army WR Jeremy Trimble had five catches for 125
yards and a touchdown, two carries for five yards, and three punt
returns for 128 and another score .

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... It
wasn't pretty, but Army will take wins any way it can get them. The
defense couldn't handle the Temple passing game, but five takeaways
and scores coming from a variety of places helped to overcome the
mistakes. There was no running game, Carson Williams didn't throw
particularly well, and there wasn't any consistency on either side
of the ball, but a win is a win is a win. Head coach Stan Brock
makes a big deal of trying to go 1-0 every week, and Army did that.
Sept. 22
Boston College 37 ... Army 17
After a lackluster first half, Boston College turned it on to
get two second half touchdown passes from Matt Ryan, and following
an 11-yard interception return for a score from Army's Brian Chmura,
got a 66-yard Andre Callender touchdown run to put it away. The
Eagles got up 16-0, helped by a one-yard Ryan run and a 22-yard
scoring pass to Rich Gunnell, but Army got back in the game before
halftime with a seven-yard Wesley McMahand touchdown run and a
26-yard Own Tolson field goal. The Eagles ended up outgaining Army
202 yard to 44 on the ground, and 573 yards to 259 overall.
Player of the
Boston College
QB Matt Ryan went 35-of-51 for 356 yards, three touchdown passes and
two interceptions.

yds, 3 TDs, 2 INTs
Rushing: Andre Callender, 9-87, 1 TD. Receiving: Kevin
Challenger, 9-104
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
Army defense couldn't handle Boston College once the light went on
for Matt Ryan and the Eagles, but it was still a good effort by the
Black Knights. Carson Williams is still struggling with his
accuracy, and there's no running game to take the pressure off. The
defense had to make big plays to stay in the game, and it did, but
not the offense has to help the cause with a few long drives and
more early scores. Against Temple, Tulane and Central Michigan over
the next few weeks, there's no excuse for Army to not win at least
two of them if the D plays like it did in the first half against BC.
Sept. 15
Wake Forest 21 ... Army 10
Wake Forest's offense struggled, but the defense and special
teams came through as Kenneth Moore returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown and
Josh Adams ran for a ten-yard score. Army cut the lead to seven with a
three-yard Mike Viti touchdown run, but the Demon Deacons would put it away at
the end of the half with an 84-yard Aaron Curry interception return for a score.
Each team turned it over three times.
Player of the game:
Forest FS Chip Vaughn made 11 tackles and broke up a pass.
Stat Leaders: Army - Passing: Carson Williams, 14-34, 165
yds, 2 INTs
Rushing: Wesley McMahand, 11-45. Receiving: Corey Anderson, 4-66
Wake Forest - Passing: Brett Hodges, 9-12, 49 yds
Rushing: Josh Adams, 9-64, 1 TD. Receiving: Kenneth Moore, 5-26
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Army's defense came up with a tremendous performance against Wake Forest, and
despite being 1-2, has shown good toughness so far and should be more than just
a pushover for most. Unfortunately, the consistency on offense simply isn't
there. It's going to take a lot of time before QB Carson Williams becomes a
major playmaker, but he has shown glimpses of talent. The offense has to keep
working to revolve around him.
Sept. 8
Army 14 ... Rhode Island 7 OT
Army got a 25-yard touchdown catch from Justin Larson on the
first play of overtime, and then held as Rhode Island couldn't score after
getting down to the four. Tim Allen started off the scoring for URI with a
five-yard run for a 7-0 halftime lead, and Army got its touchdown on a two-yard
Mike Viti run in the third. Each team had chances to end the game in regulation,
but missed field goals.
Player of the game:
Army QB Carson Williams threw for 148 yards and
the game-winning touchdown on 12-of-20 passing.
Stat Leaders: Rhode Island
- Passing: Derek Cassidy, 11-13, 145 yds
Rushing: Joe Casey, 27-107. Receiving: Shawn Leonard, 8-113
Army - Passing: Carson Williams, 12-20, 148 yds, 1 TD
McMahand, 14-44. Receiving: Jeremy Trimble, 7-48
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Uh oh. The one positive about the overtime win over Rhode Island, besides the
win, was the play of QB Carson Williams in place of an injured David Pevoto.
Outside of that, there's a lot to be concerned about with a tough two-game road
trip to Wake Forest and Boston College ahead. There's no running game, averaging
1.6 yards per carry with just 46 net yards, the offensive line was porous, and
the defense was outplayed. Again, it was a win, the first in the Stan Brock era,
but it also showed how far the team has to go.
Sept. 1
Akron 22 ... Army 14
Akron scored the first nine points of the game as a big
opening kickoff return set up a 23-yard Igor Iveljic field goal and
Reggie Corner picked off a pass for a 74-yard score. Army answered with
a three-yard Wesley McMahand touchdown run, but the Zips came right back
with two more Iveljic field goals and a 19-yard Jabari Arthur touchdown
catch. Army finally got back on the board in the final minute with a
blocked punt for a score.
Player of the game: Akron WR Jabari Arthur caught 11
passes for 125 yards and a touchdown

Arthur, 11-125, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Army got
a decent day from Wesley McMahand and the ground game against Akron, and
the defense held up well against the Zip running attack, but the passing
wasn't there. David Pevoto got the nod over Carson Williams, and he
struggled with just 184 yards on 43 attempts. To be fair, the line
didn't do much to protect him. That has to be worked on against Rhode
Island next week before going on the road to face Wake Forest and Boston
Sept. 1 – at Akron
Offense: The offense was a major disappointment last
season with almost no production from a veteran offensive line and too
much of a reliance on the passing game. Now the running game, with a
good 1-2 punch of Dennis Kennedy and Andre Walker, should provide more
pop, but the the line, with four new starters, has to be far better. The
quarterback situation will be unsettled going into the fall with Carlton
Jackson, Chris Jaquemain, and Sean Hakes all in the race. The receiving
corps is fast and experienced, and now everyone has to play beyond their
talent level to help out whoever the new passer will be.
Defense: The 3-3-5 defense of Jim Fleming was excellent last
year, and it should be even better with eight starters returning and the
right pieces in place. To run this type of defense, you need big
linemen. Check. The Zips have 300-pounders in a rotation at tackle and
big size at the other two spots. You need playmaking linebackers. Check.
Three starters return with excellent depth to rotate in. You also need a
secondary to hold it's own. Not a problem. Four starters return in the
back five led by veteran corners Reggie Corner and Davanzo Tate.
Sept. 8 – Rhode Island
Sept. 15 – at Wake Forest
Offense: Wake Forest will never come out and outbomb anyone, but
it'll run effectively behind a veteran offensive line, get the timely
passes when needed, and won't screw up. The attack only averaged 21.6
points per game and was 96th in the nation in offense, but there were
only 15 giveaways. QB Riley Skinner is back after helping the offense
lead the ACC in passing efficiency, but everything will revolve around
the ground game with several good runners and four starters returning up
front. The receiving corps will be an issue needing to move 2006's
leading rusher, Kenneth Moore, back to his natural receiver position.
Defense: The D could be even better than last year when it was
solid at bending but rarely breaking finishing 12th in the nation in
scoring defense. There's not a Jon Abbate to rely on, and a few key
defensive backs need to be replaced, but there's plenty of experience
everywhere and lots of speed and athleticism in the secondary. There
needs to be more pass rush from the defensive front and there could
stand to be fewer big plays allowed against the pass, but the overall
production should be solid.
Sept. 22 – at Boston College
Offense: It's Matt Ryan's offense and everyone is just playing in
it. The new coaching staff will install a new zone blocking scheme,
putting a premium on quick, flashy runners, but the line might not be
suited for the system. The receiving corps is decent, but nothing
special, and the tight ends are promising. It all comes down to Ryan,
who'll have more control in the attack, able to change things up a bit
on the fly, and he should be tremendous now that he's healthy. He was
the best quarterback in the ACC last year, and that was with a broken
Defense: Is it time to start
giving the BC defense a little love? It allowed 17 points per game in
2004, 15.92 in 2005, and 15.69 last year. With defensive coordinator
Frank Spaziani back, it should be even better with nine starters
returning including the entire front seven if linebacker Brian Toal is
back from a shoulder problem. The monster tackles, B.J. Raji and Ron
Brace, will gum up everything inside, while the deep linebacking corps
will quietly be among the ACC's best. DeJuan Tribble is one of the
league's best shutdown corners, and Jamie Silva is a top free safety.
The problem? There isn't a reliable second corner, and strong safety is
a question mark.
Sept. 29 - Temple
There was a little bit of improvement; the
offense averaged 10.92 points per game after averaging 9.73 in 2005.
There's plenty of experience and a major infusion of talent at running
back and receiver, but can any of them play? The attack will rely on
several true freshmen all over the place while praying for a major,
major improvement on the offensive line. The quarterback situation
is solid with Adam DiMichele and Vaughn Charlton each good enough to
start after seeing plenty of time last season. Whatever happens, the
offense will average more than a nation's worst 215.67 yards per game.
Defense: The good: The D improved giving up nine fewer yards and
four fewer points per game than in 2005. The bad: The Owls were 117th in
the nation in total defense and 118th in scoring D. The 2008 version
should be tremendous once all the freshmen and sophomores are crusty
veterans, but for now, there's good competition at almost every spot
with no sure-thing starter. The defensive line should be far better with
an instant infusion of talent, while the back seven has potential,
especially at linebacker, to make a big jump in production. It would be
nice if a true shut-down corner could quickly emerge with the hope that
JUCO transfer Tommie Williams will be that guy. Don't expect miracles,
but the overall numbers should improve.
Oct. 6 - Tulane
Offense: New head coach Bob Toledo would like to get vertical get
the passing game moving, but it's not going to happen at the expense of
the ground attack. With a good back in Matt Forte to work with, the
Green Wave will try to run the ball to create some semblance of balance,
but the offensive line might not be in place to do it. Scott Elliott is
the odds-on favorite to win the starting quarterback job in a four-man
race, and he has some decent young receivers to work with.
Defense: Tulane hasn't played consistent defense in a few years,
and it needs to count on experience, especially up front, to change
things around. Eight starters return led by senior tackles Frank Morton
and Avery Williams. The secondary needs to be far better after allowing
over 250 passing yards a game, but that could be a bit of an issue with
two new starting corners being broken in. The new coaching staff will
use a variety of formations and schemes to try to get more production,
and while the overall defense should be better, there will still be
times when it'll get bombed on.
Oct. 13 – at Central Michigan
Defense: Statistically, the defense struggled throughout last
year. Actually, it wasn't that bad as many of the numbers came when the
game was already decided. This year's D doesn't have a Dan Bazuin up
front, but it has Steven Friend leading a group of good tackles, while
there should be a good rotation of ends. The linebacking corps gets
better with Ike Brown back from the knee injury that cost him almost all
of last year, while the secondary gets three starters back, along with
promising corner Chaz West. This won't be a rock of a defense, but it'll
be good enough to win another title with.
Offense: Thanks to the emergence of quarterback Dan LeFevour, the
offense went from decent to ultra-efficient, leading the MAC in yards
and scoring. The passing game became fantastic, and the ground game,
while not always getting enough from the backs, hit home run after home
run. Now there will be more running from the backs, especially Ontario
Sneed and Notre Dame transfer Justin Hoskins, and less running from
LeFevour. The receiving corps is good enough for LeFevour to spread the
ball around to several different targets. The line won't be as good as
last year, after losing two key starters, but it'll be fine.
Oct. 20 – at Georgia Tech
Offense: Is it possible an offense can lose the offensive
coordinator, a sure-fire NFL superstar and a four-year starting
quarterback and be better? Absolutely. Calvin Johnson's departure will
sting, but the passing game should be even better with Taylor Bennett
(or any one of a slew of terrific prospects) taking over for Reggie
Ball. Patrick Nix left to take over the Miami offense, but John Bond is
a veteran who did a good job with the Northern Illinois program for the
last three years. James Johnson will be a decent number one target, and
now someone else has to quickly emerge to take the heat off and give
Bennett more options. Tashard Choice is an All-ACC caliber back leading
a deep and talented group of runners working behind a fantastic line
loaded with experience and depth.
Defense: The defense had two lousy games against Clemson and West
Virginia and was solid against everyone else. With just about everyone
returning, expect another great year holding almost everyone to under
300 yards and around 20 points. The defensive line will be one of the
team's strengths with one of the best groups of ends in America. MLB
Philip Wheeler deserves All-America attention while the safety tandem of
Jamal Lewis and Djay Jones will be one of the ACC's best. The corners
are a bit suspect and the proven linebacker depth is a bit thin, but
those aren't glaring problems.
Nov. 3 – at Air Force
Offense: For what seems like the 19th year in a row, Air Force is
going to make an attempt to be more diversified and add some passing to
the mix. This time, under new offensive coordinator Tim Horton, it might
actually happen. Slowly. Running the ball will still be the team's
bread-and-butter, but there will be some shotgun, some spread, and a
mish-mosh of other offenses to try to get thing moving. Shaun Carney is
a good, veteran quarterback to handle all the changes, but he doesn't
have much to work with. The receiving corps needs work before it can
become a threat, the backfield will be fine in the triple-option, but
could struggle in a traditional set, and the offensive line needs to
undergo major changes.
Defense: Air Force hasn't played defense in about three years and
it'll take a major overhaul and a fantastic coaching job by new
coordinator Tim DeRuyter to change things up. There's no size, not
enough speed, and little in the way of experienced reserves. There has
to be some semblance of a pass rush, and the hope will be for the speedy
outside linebackers in the 3-4 to generate it. Far more has to be done
against the pass. Now for the positives. Drew Fowler is one of the
Mountain West's best linebackers and safety Bobby Giannini is a tackling
Nov. 9 - Rutgers
Offense: Although Rutgers is more than content to pound the ball
between the tackles 30 times a game with All-America running back Ray
Rice, it wouldn't mind a little more offensive balance this year.
Whether that happens depends on the development of junior quarterback
Mike Teel who struggled badly last year, but did play his best ball at
the end of the year and has a speedy group of receivers needed to author
a rebound. While question marks exist on the interior of the offensive
line, the tackle tandem of seniors Pedro Sosa and Jeremy Zuttah is one
of the best in the country.
Defense: For Greg Schiano and his Rutgers defense, it's all about
creating pressure and turnovers with a variety of different looks to
confuse opposing offenses. Everything came together last year for a
unit that had 31 takeaways and allowed just 252 yards and 14 points a
game, but five starters need to be replaced. Senior defensive tackle
Eric Foster is a ticking time bomb that exploded on quarterbacks in
2006, en route to All-America recognition. He's the physical and
spiritual leader of a front seven that's noticeably less experienced
than last year. Provided sophomore Devin McCourty can handle the corner
spot opposite twin brother Jason, the secondary will rock with the
return of all-league safeties, Courtney Greene and Ron Girault.
Nov. 17 - Tulsa
Offense: Can Gus Malzahn's hurry-up, no-huddle offense really
work at this level … take two. All the buzz about Malzahn's fancy
playbook fizzled in Fayetteville last year, but unlike at Arkansas,
Tulsa coach Tood Graham is on board and prepared to see all of the
offense's bell and whistles. The system aims to control the tempo,
physically and mentally wear out opponents, and sort of run a two-minute
offense for four quarters. Senior quarterback Paul Smith is liable to
go berserk running this offense, but a makeshift offensive line and a
whole new set of receivers will be two major stumbling blocks. When the
Hurricane runs the ball, it'll turn to senior Courtney Tennial and
junior Tarrion Adams, arguably the best running duo in Conference
Defense: Head coach Todd Graham brings the 3-3-5 and a very
aggressive style back to Tulsa, where he led the defense from
2003-2005. The fact that he coached and recruited many of this year's
players should make for a smoother-than-expected transition. Graham
will showcase a swarming unit that brings turnovers back to Tulsa. In
his final season as the defensive coordinator, the Hurricane had 36
takeaways. Without him last year? 14. The strength is at linebacker,
which features three senior starters and Nelson Coleman, one of the
nation's best middle linebackers you've never seen play. With so much
over pursuing going on in 2007, a retooled secondary could give up as
many big plays this year as it has in the last two combined.
Dec. 1 –
at Navy
Offense: Navy led the nation in rushing in 2005, led the nation in
rushing in 2006, and will lead the nation in rushing in 2007. What's the
difference? The ground game will be terrific as always, but now it'll be truly
special with the best combination of backfield talent and experience head coach
Paul Johnson has ever had. There won't be any passing game, but it won't matter
with a ground attack that can crank out a big run from anywhere on the field.
The big concern will be the line with no experience among the backups whatsoever
and a shaky starting five if left tackle Josh Meek's injured knee isn't healthy.
Defense: Uh oh. Wholesale changes need to be made with only three starters
and seven lettermen returning. The best defense will be a good offense needing
the ground game to crank out long drives to keep this inexperienced, woefully
undersized, untested group off the field. Pass rushers need to emerge with the
hope for Chris Kuhar-Pitters and Casey Hebert to turn into playmakers around
rising star tackle Nate Frazier. Clint Sovie and Irv Spencer will turn into
reliable inside linebackers, but outside linebacker will be a question. The
secondary will be a work in progress around solid corner Rashawn King.

Essence of Emmet PART I
Essence of Emmet PART II
The second in a four-part historical series covering the history of Emmet County, called the "Essence of Emmet" magazine, is available!
Part II covers the "Century of Change" in Emmet County, from 1813 to 1917. During this timeframe, the way of life in Northwest Michigan underwent drastic changes, from a mostly Native American population to the arrival of the French and ultimately the British. It was the era that saw the railroads arrive and with them, abundant tourism. Marketing of Emmet County began, and some of our "firsts" arrived -- the first doctor, the first architect, and many others. It also was the era that had tremendous impact on the lives of our Odawa residents, who were faced with assimilation, treaties to remain on their lands and pressures to change the only way of life they'd ever known.
If you would like a complimentary copy of the Essence of Emmet, contact its editor, Beth Anne Eckerle, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (231) 348-1704.

Wouldn't It Be Loverly
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2008)
"Wouldn't It Be Loverly" is a popular song by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, written for the 1956 Broadway play My Fair Lady.[1]
The song is sung by flower girl Eliza Doolittle and her street friends. It expresses Eliza's wish for a better life.
In addition to pronouncing "lovely" as "loverly", the song lyrics highlight other facets of the Cockney accent that Professor Henry Higgins wants to refine away as part of his social experiment.
In the stage version it was sung by Julie Andrews.[2] In the 1964 film version, Marni Nixon dubbed the song for Audrey Hepburn.[3] Both Andrews' and Nixon's versions are available on the original cast and soundtrack albums, respectively, and Hepburn's original version is available in the specials for the DVD of the film.
Andy Williams released a version of the song on his 1964 album, The Great Songs from "My Fair Lady" and Other Broadway Hits.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s the song was used in television advertisements for Commonwealth Bank of Australia home mortgages [4]

Indian men pulled one back to exit the Thomas and Uber Cup on a winning note. In an inconsequential tie against Germany, India, already knocked out of the tournament with losses against Malaysia and Korea, won 3-2 to salvage some pride.
It was not an easy win, though, for the Parupalli Kashyap-led Indian men. After Kidambi Srikanth gave the home team a winning start by taking the first match 21-18 18-21 21-18 in a hard-fought match that lasted four minutes shy of an hour, Germany took the next two matches. Michael Fuchs and Johannes Schoettler whipped the Indian doubles pair of Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy 21-15 21-6 in just 26 minutes as Germany levelled the tie at 1-1.
Germany surged ahead when 59th-ranked Dieter Domke, who has never won against world No. 21 Kashyap in their five previous encounters, found the occasion to end that record in the second singles match. Kashyap tried his heart out but his 26-year-old German opponent did not let him breathe easy. Domke eked out a 23-21 14-21 21-14 in 55 minutes.
The doubles pair of Akshay Dewalkar and Pranaav Jerry Chopra then brought India back into the hunt with a thrilling 21-9 17-21 21-19 win over Peter Kaesbauer and Josche Zurwonne in the second doubles.
With the tie level at two-all, all eyes were on the 24-year-old RMV Gurusaidutt, who has been the saving grace for India, having won his matches against Malaysia and Korea when the rubbers were already decided.
Gurusaidutt edged out Lucas Schmidt 14-21 21-19 21-19 in a come-from-behind high-octane match during which the noise made by the crowd hit a crescendo.
Gurusaidutt produced a brilliant fightback in the second game after losing the first as he made up for a six-point deficit from 5-11 to first claw back at 18-18 and then wrest the lead with a smash. He finally roared back into the contest with a cross court net dribble that found Schmidt napping.
In the decider, Gurusaidutt opened up a lead early on and maintained it, moving from 14-11 to 14-19. Schmidt breathed down his neck and made it 19-20. But with his return finding the net, Gurusaidutt burst into celebration at the end of a 61-minute battle.
It was a celebration badly needed for the Indian men on a day in which all their matches barring the first doubles went the distance.

The RCF police on Saturday arrested a 28-year-old man for allegedly raping a six-year-old girl.
As per the police, the accused, who has been identified as Saurabh Rathod, lives is RNA park area of Chembur. The survivor and Rathod are known to each other.
Around 1.45pm on Friday, Rathod approached the girl and lured her to his house on the pretext of giving her sweets. When the girl reached his house, Rathod closed the door and allegedly raped her.
Rathod then let the girl go, but warned her against mentioning the incident to anyone. When she reached home, the girl's parents asked her why she was so scared, following which she narrated the incident to them.
"The victim's parents approached the police and lodged a complaint against Rathod. Acting on the complaint, Rathod was arrested on charges of rape under IPC and relevant sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences," said a police officer from RCF police station. The girl was taken to hospital for medical tests.
The accused told the police that there was a financial dispute ongoing between the accused and the girl's family and that the latter was trying to implicate him in the case. Police are now awaiting the medical reports.

A competitive, matrix type game includes a matrix on which game pieces of two or more gamers, one of which may be a computer, are positioned. Each gamer positions a game piece on the matrix upon receiving a turn. The game pieces of one or more other gamers may be captured when a gamer positions or repositions one of his or her game pieces at an opposite end of a linear (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) sequence of game pieces opposite from another, like game piece belonging to that gamer. Alternatively, a capturing event may occur when a gamer positions more than two game pieces along the same line of the matrix. The game may be effected manually or electronically, and may comprise a stand-alone game or a bonus event to a primary game. Gaming machines and systems that may be used to implement play of the game are also described.
1. A gaming system, comprising:
a primary game; and
a secondary game of mental strategy, in which a gamer takes a plurality of turns, each turn of said secondary game being awarded upon the occurrence of at least one of a predetermined event in said primary game and a particular result during play of said primary game, wherein, upon receiving a turn in said secondary game, the gamer is permitted to prevent other gamers from taking turns for a specified period of time.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to competitive, matrix type games and, more specifically, to the use of matrix type games in gaming systems. The present invention also relates to gaming systems that include primary games with bonus play in the form of multiple player matrix type games.
2. Background of Related Art
Matrix type games, including matrix type games that require a player to strategize, are known.
One example of such a game is OTHELLO, a two player game in which game disks that are one color, such as white, on one side and another color, such as black, on the other side are used. Game play begins with two disks for each player, each disk displaying the player's game play color (e.g., two black and two white), positioned in two-by-two arrangement in the four central spaces of the game matrix, with disks that appear white being located in the upper left and lower right spaces and disks that appear black being located in the upper right and lower left spaces. Turns occur in a sequential fashion, with black taking the first turn. Upon receiving a turn, a player places a disk with his or her corresponding game play color (e.g., black) at a space of the matrix in such a way as to capture at least one of the opponent's disks (e.g., one or more disks that appear white) in-line between the just-positioned disk and a disk of the same color. The disks that are captured in such a manner are then flipped to change the color thereof from the opponent's game play color to the game play color of the capturing player. When one or more disks are flipped, additional disks may not be captured. If a player cannot position a disk on the matrix in such a way as to capture one or more of his or her opponent's disks, the player skips one or more turns until a capturing opportunity arises. Game play continues until neither player can capture any of the previously positioned or flipped disks belonging to the other or until no spaces remain on the matrix. The players then tally the disks that show their corresponding colors, with the player whose color appears most often on disks that have been positioned on the matrix winning the game.
PENTE is another example of a matrix type game of skill. In PENTE, a player may win upon positioning five game pieces in sequentially adjacent, linear arrangement, or "five in a row". Alternatively, a player may win by capturing ten of another player's game pieces. Game pieces may be captured, two at a time, by positioning two of one player's game pieces, in-line, at opposite ends of two of an opposing player's game pieces.
Gaming systems that include multiple gaming stations that communicate with one another or with a common controller, or server, are well known in the art. Such communication may be conducted to effect play of a primary game or a secondary game, in which the play of one gamer is in some way tied to the play of one or more other gamers. As an example, the play of multiple gamers at multiple, communicating gaming stations may be tied in playing black jack or poker by providing cards to each of the gamers from a common set (i.e., from the same "dealer").
Competitive, or linked, play in bonus games is also known. For example, upon the occurrence of one or more predetermined events in a primary game, or by achieving a particular outcome in a primary game, a gamer may be awarded a "turn" in a bonus game that is played against one or more other gamers. An example of such tied, secondary game play is describe in U.S. Pat. No. 5,393,075, which issued to Anothony A. Marnell, II, et al. on Feb. 28, 1995 (hereinafter "Marnell"). In particular, Marnell describes a gaming apparatus in which a primary gaming apparatus and a secondary gaming apparatus are coupled to one another. The secondary gaming apparatus used by one gamer may communicate with the secondary gaming apparatus of other gamers to provide competitive game play. The exemplary secondary game described in Marnell is a bingo game, which is, of course, a game of chance.
The inventor is not aware of any gaming apparatus or systems that permit a gamer to participate in a so-called "game of skill" or "game of strategy" upon achieving a particular outcome in a primary game or upon the occurrence of one or more predetermined events during play of the primary game.
The present invention includes a competitive, matrix type game that requires each participate therein, or gamer, to strategize, as well as gaming apparatus and systems that are used to play the matrix type game. The matrix type game of the present invention may be played by a single gamer against a computer or between two or more gamers.
In playing the matrix type game of the present invention, during each turn, a gamer places a game piece, which may be readily identifiable by a particular gamer as being that gamer's game piece (e.g., by color, shape, size, identifying indicia, etc.), in a desired location (e.g., a square or intersecting lines) of a matrix. If more than two gamers are competing in the matrix type game, the game pieces of each gamer may be readily identifiable by each gamer as belonging to another, distinct gamer. Alternatively, each gamer may only be able to distinguish his or her game pieces from those of all of the other gamers collectively, which may make it more difficult for each gamer to determine the number of his or her game pieces that may be captured as another gamer positions a game piece on the matrix. A gamer is awarded upon the occurrence of one or more prespecified results, which are referred to herein as "capturing events", in the matrix type game.
For example, each gamer may attempt to "capture" the game pieces of a computer or one or more other gamers by positioning two game pieces on opposite sides of one game piece or at opposite ends of linearly arranged, sequential game piece of the computer or of one or more other gamers. Alternatively, a gamer may be required to position a predetermined number of game pieces in a linearly arranged series of game pieces before that gamer may capture the each of the sequential, linearly arranged game pieces. Upon capturing the game pieces of the computer or one or more other gamers, points may be added to the capturing gamer's score or the capturing gamer may receive an award. In addition, the capturing gamer may receive points or an award for any of the capturing gamer's game pieces that also become captured, as well as for the capturing game pieces. The captured game pieces may then be removed from the matrix, either with or without the capturing game pieces.
As another example of operation of a matrix type game incorporating teachings of the present invention, any game pieces of a computer or one or more other gamers that are captured between the pieces of a gamer are replaced with that gamer's pieces, or are "converted" or "flipped" in such a way as to have the same identity of the capturing gamer's game pieces. When such conversion occurs, additional capturing of the game pieces of the computer or one or more other gamers may automatically occur.
Yet another example of a matrix type game according to the present invention requires that more than two of a gamer's game pieces be located in a linearly arranged group of spaces to capture and/or convert the game pieces of a computer or one or more other gamers that are located in that linearly arranged group of spaces.
The amount a gamer may be awarded for capturing the game pieces of another gamer may be a prespecified amount, or may be based on an amount of game credits or money wagered by the gamer who "places" the game piece onto the matrix. Alternatively, the amount of award associated with each game piece may be associated with the result of a primary game that led to the placement of that game piece on the matrix.
A gamer may place a game piece over that of a computer or another gamer, thereby converting that game piece. The value of such a converted game piece may be that of the last-placed game piece or the additive value of each game piece that has been positioned at that particular location of the matrix.
In addition, or in the alternative, a gamer may use a turn to move a previously positioned game piece rather than position a new game piece on the matrix.
Upon capturing the game pieces of a computer or one or more other gamers in accordance with teachings of the present invention, a gamer may be provided with an option to prevent such capturing in lieu of the chance to play for a larger award by capturing a larger group of game pieces. A gamer that chooses to delay the capture of game pieces may receive an additional award for each such delay in the event that gamer subsequently captures the game pieces of the computer or another gamer along the same line of the matrix.
Gaming devices and systems incorporating teachings of the present invention may use the inventive matrix type game as a primary game or for bonus play in addition to a primary game.
The present invention also includes a gaming system in which a gamer is awarded a turn in a strategic secondary game, such as the inventive matrix type game, upon achieving a particular outcome during play of a primary game, or upon the occurrence of one or more predetermined events during play of the primary game.
When the matrix type game is provided as a bonus to a primary game played on a gaming apparatus or system, each gamer of, in the case of single-gamer play, the gamer and the computer, may be granted turns in a sequential fashion, or nonsequentially. As an example of nonsequential play of the matrix-type, in the event that two or more gamers play the matrix type game against one another, turns may be granted on the basis of the gamer's relative speeds of finishing a round of a primary game or on the occurrence of a prespecified qualifying event during play of the primary game. Play by a single gamer may follow a similar course, with the gamer receiving two or more turns in a row randomly or if play of the primary game or a qualifying event associated with the primary game is completed within a predetermined period of time.
Upon receiving a turn, a gamer may have the ability to block the computer or other gamers from taking turns for a limited period of time. If such a blocking period is available, it may be a predetermined period of time or based upon a result achieved during play of a primary game (e.g., more blocking time may be awarded for a better result in the primary game) or an amount of game credits or money paid by the gamer receiving the blocking period.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art through consideration of the ensuing description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.
In the drawings, which illustrate exemplary features of various embodiments of the present invention:
Game play in accordance with the present invention may include positioning of game pieces 20 either at intersecting points 16 of matrix 10 or in spaces 18 thereof.
The rules of an exemplary embodiment of a competitive, matrix type game incorporating teachings of the present invention are depicted in the flow chart of

At reference character 130, each of the game pieces 20′ located between the most recently positioned or repositioned game piece 20P and the like game piece 20L are identified as having been "captured". In addition to capturing the game pieces 20′ of one or more other gamers, a gamer may also capture his or her own game pieces 20. Further, the capturing game pieces 20, including the most recently positioned or repositioned game piece 20P and the like game piece 20L positioned at the opposite end of the line of sequentially adjacent game pieces 20′, 20, may be deemed to have been captured.
Game pieces 20′, 20 may be captured along more than one line. After game pieces 20′, 20 in one line have been captured, process flows to reference character 124 of
If it is determined at reference character 132 of
As shown in
Exemplary awards that may be granted to a gamer once captured game pieces 20′, 20 are removed from play include, without limitation, points, game credits, monetary awards, prizes, and the like. The per-game piece 20′, 20 award may increase with an increase in the number of game pieces 20′, 20 that are removed from play.

If it is determined at reference character 136 of
Alternatively, if a gamer chooses to opt out of having one or more captured game pieces 20, 20′ removed from play in lieu of the opportunity to receive an increased award (e.g., for capturing more pieces, simply for capturing game pieces following a decision to opt out, or some combination thereof), the captured game pieces 20, 20′ may be converted, possibly providing the opting-out gamer with an increased chance to subsequently capture other or more game pieces 20, 20′, but with the risk that the gamer's game pieces 20 may be subsequently captured by another gamer.
If it is determined at reference character 136 of
Turning now to the flow chart of
An award may be granted to the capturing gamer each time a game piece 20′ is converted, when the gamer chooses to exit the game, or when both of these events occur.
As with the previous embodiment of the game, the gamer may choose to opt out of converting one or more captured game pieces 20′ in lieu of the chance to receive an increased award for subsequently recapturing these game pieces 20′ along with one or more additional game pieces 20′, as illustrated in the flow chart of

At reference character 164 of
At reference character 166, an inquiry is made as to whether or not any of converted game pieces 20C have yet to be selected for evaluation. If so, process flow returns to reference character 150 of
If it is determined, at reference character 168, that one or more additional game pieces 20′ have been captured, process flows back to reference character 140′, where each captured game piece 20′ is changed to a converted game piece 20C and the capturing gamer is granted an appropriate award. Further evaluations may then be conducted to determine whether or not any other game pieces 20′ have been captured as a result of such conversion. Otherwise, the process flows to reference character 116, where the gamer may be required to wait for or to obtain another turn.
Of course, the variations depicted in

A game incorporating teachings of the present invention may be implemented as a stand-alone game or be provided as a bonus event to a primary game.
Entry into the game of the present invention from a base, or primary game may be gained, as known in the art. By way of example only, the occurrence of one or more prespecified events during play of the primary game may qualify a gamer for entry into the bonus event. Such events may include, without limitation, certain combinations of symbols along one or more paylines during play of a slot machine type primary game and certain card combinations in primary games of poker or blackjack. Alternatively, the opportunity to enter into the bonus event may be granted to a gamer upon achieving a certain amount of winnings during play of the primary game, or simply for completing a round of the primary game. Of course, the occurrence of other types of events or prespecified combinations of events during play of the primary game may also qualify a gamer for entry into a bonus event that comprises a game incorporating teachings of the present invention.
Once a gamer has qualified for a bonus event comprising the inventive game, continued play of the bonus event may be automatic or based on requalification after the gamer takes a turn in the bonus game. Turns may be granted on an orderly, repetitive basis, in the order in which qualifying events occur, based on a gamer's response speed, or some combination thereof. Optionally, if turns are granted at least partially on the basis of a gamer's response speed, a gamer who obtains a turn may be able to prevent other gamers from taking a turn for a limited period of time, which may be automatically granted, granted on the basis of a result in an associated primary game, or purchased by a gamer with game credits or money.
A player may terminate play of the game at his or her own option at any time, or the game may automatically terminated when one or more of the competing gamers have placed a prespecified, maximum number of game pieces 20, 20′ upon matrix 10.
In stand-alone embodiments of the game of the present invention, turns are preferably granted in repeated sequence.
In an example of manual implementation of the game and with returned reference to
The game may be electronically implemented by, for example, providing an electronically generated matrix 10 with electronically generated game pieces 20, 20′ that may be positioned and/or moved under the control of a gamer by providing a desired input, as will be described hereinafter in further detail.
In use and operation, and referring to
Main board 144 may include memory in the form of ROM and RAM, as well as flash memory, EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read only memory), and/or any other type of suitable memory element known in the art. In addition, main board 144 may include any combination of a system event controller, a random number generator, a win decoder/pay table, status indicators, a communications handler, and a display/sound generator.
Main board 144 communicates with back plane 146, which may include additional memory, such as in the form of an EEPROM, and connectors for use with internal peripheral components of gaming machine 100. By way of example, main board 144 may be operably coupled (e.g., plugged into) a separately manufactured back plane 146. Back plane 146 may also provide a plurality of communication ports for communicating with external peripheral components.
Back plane 146 also provides for electrical communication between discrete inputs 150 of gaming machine 100 and main board 144, which communicates with processor board 142 if processor board 142 is manufactured separately from main board 144. Examples of discrete inputs 150 of gaming machine 100 include, without limitation, coin acceptors, game buttons, mechanical hand levers, key and door switches, and other auxiliary inputs. In addition, gaming machine 100 may support input and output between a gamer and processor board 142 by way of one or more via interface modules that establish communication between expansion bus or buses 182 and/or SCSI port 188 and gamer-used devices, such as a heads-up display, a joystick, a keyboard, a mouse, or a data glove.
Furthermore, back plane 146 provides for electrical communication between discrete outputs 152 of gaming machine 100 and main board 144. Typically and by way of example only, elements of gaming machine 100 that provide discrete outputs 152 may be in the form of lamps, hard meters, hoppers, diverters, and other auxiliary outputs.
Back plane 146 also provides connectors for at least one power supply 154 for supplying power to processor board 142, for a parallel display interface (PDI) 156, and for a serial interface 158 that may be used with a game display device 178. In addition, back plane 146 provides connectors for a soundboard 160 and a high-resolution monitor 162. Furthermore, back plane 146 may include communication ports for operably coupling and communicating with an accounting network 164, a touch screen 166 (which may also serve as a game display device), a bill validator 155 incorporated in a currency (bill) acceptor, a printer 168, and accounting network 170, a progressive current loop 172, and a network link 174.
Optionally, back plane 146 includes connectors for sources 180 of video that are external to gaming machine 100, expansion buses 182, game or other displays 184, a SCSI port 188, and an interface 190 for at least one card reader 192 (debit/credit, player card, etc.) and key pad 194.
If gaming device 100 is configured for play of a reel-type game, back plane 146 may also include means for electronically coupling a plurality of reel driver boards 196 (one per reel), which drive physical game reels 198, and a shaft encoder or other sensor means to main board 144 and processor board 142. Of course, reels may be implemented electronically by display as video images, technology for such an approach being well known and widely employed in the art. In such an instance, reel driver boards 196 and physical game reels 198 with associated hardware are eliminated and the game outcome is instead generated by the random number generator on main board 144 and directly displayed on a video game display 184 and, optionally, on a separate game display device 178, as known in the art. Other gaming machine configurations for play of different wagering games such as video poker games, video blackjack games, video Keno, video bingo or any other suitable primary games are equally well known in the art.
It will also be understood and appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that selected components of gaming device 100 may be duplicated for play of a bonus game or event in accordance with the present invention, with associated peripherals and links thereto, for play of the bonus game. In the conventional situation wherein the bonus game of the present invention may be operably coupled as a "top box" or otherwise associated with a conventional, existing gaming machine 100 configured for play of a base game, many of the components illustrated in
In implementation, gaming machines offering play of the bonus event of the present invention may be deployed, as schematically depicted in

Only few passengers from the State sustained injuries in the derailment of the Ernakulam-bound Mangala Express from Nizamuddin near Ghoti between Igathpuri and Nasik stations early on Friday.
Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad divisional authorities set up helplines at major stations following information that 13 coaches (S-7, S-8, S-9, S-10, S-11, Pantry Car, B-1, B-2, B-3, A-1, A-2, GS1, SLR) derailed at 6.25 a.m. and there were casualties.
Three persons were killed and 23 suffered injuries in the accident. Of the injured, four were pantry staff and three were attendants of an air-conditioned coach.
Pantry manager of the train B. Biju told The Hindu over the phone from Igathpuri that the 22-member staff in the pantry car were preparing breakfast at the time of accident. "I cannot recollect what happened. It was a plain terrain. Except the locomotive and the next coach, all the coaches derailed," he said. "I have been working in Mangala Express for the last six years and it was the first accident. It was a lucky escape for the passengers," Mr. Biju, who hails from Palakkad, said.
Four of the injured of the pantry staff- Muralikumar, Vinod Kumar, Manikantan and Chandrasekharan - were shifted by Mr. Biju to hospital. Except Mr. Muralikumar who fractured a leg, the rest were discharged after first aid. Mr. Biju said Mr. Muralikumar would be discharged from hospital on Saturday.

China steals new Australia spy agency blueprints: Report
Published on May 28, 2013 9:02 AM
SYDNEY (AFP) - Foreign Minister Bob Carr on Tuesday insisted ties with China would not be hurt by a report that Chinese hackers have stolen top secret blueprints to Australia's new intelligence agency headquarters.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation said the documents taken in the cyber hit included cabling layouts for the huge building's security and communications systems, its floor plan, and its server locations.
"It's got absolutely no implications for a strategic partnership," Mr Carr said, without confirming or denying China was behind the attack.
"We have enormous areas of cooperation with China."

excellent guide I had and made me feel the history of the place.He was so neat in telling me in details about this place.
Reviewed by: Michael W, December 2013
Worth doing if you are in a bind(as was my case). It's really very taxing to do that much driving in one day. I still had a very good day and the tour guide was very informative. It was my first proper trip in India and it was certainly an eye opener and the temples + palace was very interesting.
In relation to the price - once you get to India, the price was very expensive. The initial offering said from 100US but ended up being 350dollars- I was happy with that and I booked at very late notice.

Entrepreneurs We Love…Because They Inspire Us
For staying true
Bobby Flam, 65
Jumbo's Restaurant
Flam, the owner of Jumbo's Restaurant, has been bucking the decline of his northwest Miami neighborhood through 44 years of race riots, hurricanes, and the exodus of most other white business owners, who were once his daytime clientele. "I stayed because I wanted to be an example that business could succeed here," says Flam, who has been a neighborhood force since he quit college in 1967 to take over Jumbo's from his ailing father. He quickly closed a room off the kitchen where black customers had come for takeout and opened the dining room to all, becoming one of the first South Florida restaurants to integrate. "I treated all my customers and employees with respect. I hoped other businesses would do the same." Read the full story.

This is the Windows Server Update Services support team blog. We cover all things relating to WSUS and Windows Update.
Follow @MS_SystemCenter
We get quite a few questions regarding the installation of Windows Server Update Services so I thought I would post some quick tips of troubleshooting the process for when it runs into problems. When the WSUS installation fails, it generates four logs:
The WSUS setup log will be the general log describing what failed during the installation; you can use this as a basic reference. The WSUSMSI_timestamp.log will describe in more detail exactly where it failed. To see exactly what caused the installation to fail, scroll from bottom to the top looking for "return value 3". Once you find this, keep scrolling up to see which action the installation was doing at the time of failure.
Once you find out where the installation failed you should also see an error code associated with the failure. You can use the error lookup tool to help you understand the error code:
Reference for the error lookup tool: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=be596899-7bb8-4208-b7fc-09e02a13696c&displaylang=en

I actually found out about this today from Glenn Lonesome Rhodes Beck.
Looks like that little guy should have picked on someone his own size!
That little pr!ck is lucky he didn't get slammed on his head. Bravo, fatty!
Not a very smart bully.
Think he learned his lesson?
I don't know if this is true or not, but I read that the big kid was the one who got suspended for this!! If I were his dad, I would take the same number of days off work and treat this kid to a vacation. Obviously he has been a target before and it's time to ease his mind.
I've come to the conclusion that you can never, never trust a school administrator to do the right thing.
According to TMZ.com both got suspended. (And no I don't frequent TMZ, my wife showed it to me. Really.)

If you'd been asked whether or not the Bruins will make the playoffs two months ago, you might have laughed at the question.
After all, the B's had a comfortable lead over Ottawa in the standings and were challenging the New York Rangers for tops in the Eastern Conference.
Now, it's suddenly becoming a real question not only whether Boston can hold onto the Northeast Division, but also if they will make the postseason, period.
Their recent play certainly hasn't inspired much confidence, but they still currently occupy a place in the top eight of the East, so they'd be in if the season ended on Saturday. The question is if they'll be able to remain in that top half of the standings the rest of the way.

Wagon Wheel: One Hotel, Quite Old
I live in Fort Bridger, but I stayed in the hotel (its the only hotel in town) for a single night. First, it is quite old, and half of the hotel has been abandoned. As for the other half, very few rooms are air conditioned and all the accommodations (beds, tv, etc) are quite old. The hotel offers no food, no wake up calls, no cable or satellite, and no other accommodations. There are two other hotels within a ten mile area, but one is of the same nature, and the other is a B&B type of establishment, and is quite expensive. Your best bet is there are a number of hotels 30 miles to the west. Keep driving.
There are no extras offered. No pool, no wake up calls, no cable or satellite, old furniture, nothing. Historic Fort Bridger is just across the street.

Herkimer (town), New York
|United States
|New York
|10,175 (2010)
|Town Supervisor
|Dominic J. Frank (R)
|- summer (DST)
|ZIP code
|Area code
Herkimer is a town in Herkimer County, New York, United States, southeast of Utica. It is named after Nicholas Herkimer. The population was 10,175 at the 2010 census.
The town contains a village also called Herkimer. Herkimer County Community College is located in Herkimer village.
Herkimer was first settled around 1722, in an area originally called Stone Ridge, now the Village of Herkimer. Early settlers were primarily Palatine Germans.
Johan Jost Herchheimer, a farmer who also engaged in trade and transport on the Mohawk River, settled in German Flatts, NY in 1725, south of the present day Village of Herkimer. He owned 5,000 acres (20 km2) of the land, including a strategic portage around Little Falls, where his eldest son Nicholas Herkimer established a farmstead.
During the French and Indian War, the Mohawk Valley was ravaged by raids of French and native allies. By 1770, Nicholas had established great wealth through farming and trade during the wars, and had also gained military experience as a Captain of a Militia.
