Tim Kopinski Tabbed Big Ten Tennis Athlete of the Week
Feb. 13, 2013
URBANA, Ill. - University of Illinois sophomore Tim Kopinski was named Big Ten Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week after his performance this past Saturday night that resulted in the Illini upsetting No. 7 Kentucky. The award is Kopinski's first in his career and the first since alum Dennis Nevolo collected his 8th weekly Big Ten honor on April 3, 2012.
Saturday night, Kopinski squared off with Kentucky's Alejandro Gomez in the number three singles matchup. As the battle between the two waged on, the rest of the Illini did their part, tying the game at 3-3. Thus, the decisive point came down to Kopinski.
The tight contest between the two on court three was sent to a highly anticipated third set, where the Illini sophomore jumped out to a 4-3 lead. Then the Palos Hills native dug deep and won the next two games to take the match 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. Thus, Illinois beat Kentucky 4-3 and handed the Wildcats their first loss of the season.
Adding to his overall performance on the night, Tim Kopinski along with Ross Guignon defeated the 35th best doubles tandem in the country in Tom Jomby and Kevin Lai, 8-4.
Kopinski and the rest of the Illini return to action the weekend of March 1 when they welcome Big Ten foes Iowa and Northwestern.

MLB Betting News and Notes Tuesday, August 5
Baseball Betting: Streaks, Tips, Notes
Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays
Baseball fans, as well as those focused on baseball betting are in for a treat come Tuesday night when Baltimore Orioles visit Toronto Blue Jays for a pivotal three-game series between the top two clubs in the AL East. Heading into Monday's make up game at Washington, Orioles are 62-48 (+$1902) on the campaign, 32-23 ($1699) away from Camden Yards, 16-10 on the road platting 5.31 runs/game against .500 or better teams. The Jays looking to interrupt it's 0-3 skid suffered in Houston and now 3 1/2 games back of Orioles are 60-53 (+$534) overall, 30-23 ($151) at home including 9-3 crossing 3.94 per/contest vs a .500 or better team. Probable pitching matchups has southpaw Mark Buehrle trading pitches with Bud Norris in the opener, followed by Drew Hutchison facing lefty Wei-Yin Chen in GM-2 with port-side hurler J.A. Happ trying to best Miguel Gonzalez in the finale. Those choosing to side with Toronto do so with a slew of negative betting trends to overcome. Buehrle has a 1-4 TSR vs Orioles since joining Toronto, Norris has a 4-0 TSR vs Jays since joining O's. Inconsistent Hutchison has a 2-5 record at home with a whopping 7.71 ERA and sports 2-3 TSR vs Baltimore. Happ heads to the hill with a 1-3 TSR vs O's wearing a Blue Jay uniform.
Los Angeles Angels vs Los Angeles Dodgers
The first game of the Freeway Series did not go well for Dodgers as they were spanked 5-0 moving the mark to 7-16 the past twenty-three encounters with Halos (8-15 O/U). According to the current betting odds, Los Angeles is a -$2.40 home favorite. That whopping nod by the oddsmaker is due to the success of the LA starter. That pitcher is Clayton Kershaw, with the left-hander sporting a 13-2 record, miniscule 1.71 ERA and who is undefeated in eleven trips to the hill. The Dodgers' have not only flourished in the month of August with Kershaw (13-5), they're on a sparkling 6-0 stretch when he pitches in front of the friendly crowd at Dodger Stadium, a smart 7-3 in his last ten home starts following a team loss the previous effort. Kershaw matches pitches with Halos' left-hander Hector Santiago, carrying a 3-7 record, 3.76 ERA over 14 starts, 5 relief appearances. Although, Halos are 0-5 in their last 5 road games facing a lefty, 5-9 recently away vs a winning team, Dodgers 6-2 last 8 at home vs a winning team a pricey home favorite in baseball betting is always risky, so a run line (1 1/2, -$1.05) is the safest choice here.

Game of the Day: Angels at Dodgers
By Covers.com
Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers (-228, 6.5)
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw aims to maintain his run of dominance when he puts a personal 10-game winning streak on the line Tuesday at home against the Los Angeles Angels. Kershaw has thrown four complete games in his last eight starts, including a gem against Atlanta on Thursday, when he let up a run and struck out nine in a 2-1 victory. The National League Pitcher of the Month for June and July has yielded only three runs in 41 frames over his last four home outings.
Although he rarely needs much run support, Kershaw will hope for a bit more than the Dodgers could muster in a 5-0 loss in Monday's series opener. The Angels got a home run from Josh Hamilton and a five-hit shutout from Garrett Richards to win for the 13th time in their last 20 games at Dodger Stadium. The victory kept the Angels one game behind first-place Oakland in the American League West, while the Dodgers saw their lead in the N.L. West reduced to 1 1/2 games over San Francisco.
LINE HISTORY: The Dodgers opened as -240 favorites, but have moved to as ow as -215 before currently sitting at -228. The total is currently at 6.5.
COVERS POWER RANKINGS: Los Angeles Angles: -201, Los Angeles Dodgers -193
WHAT BOOKS SAY: "Since Kershaw is on the mound for the Dodgers, we expect this to be our biggest decision of day. Under will probably be a very popular play as Santiago has a 2.21 ERA in his last three starts." Mike Perry, Sportsbook.ag.
WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "A pair of left-handed starters on the mound Tuesday night and the Angels have fared much better offensively this season against southpaws compared to the Dodgers. Entering this week, the Angels were averaging 5.3 runs per nine innings with a .286 team batting average on the road versus LHP, while the Dodgers were averaging only 2.6 runs and batting just .217 at home against southpaws this season." Covers Expert Steve Merril
PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels LH Hector Santiago (3-7, 3.76 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (13-2, 1.71)
Santiago has allowed only one run in 15 innings over his last four appearances, two of which have been out of the bullpen. He is 1-7 with a 4.16 ERA in 14 starts, limiting opponents to 65 hits in 71 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old, who owns a 2.75 ERA in 11 career interleague contests (four starts), has thrown just 1 1/3 innings in his career versus the Dodgers.
Kershaw entered the series leading the National League in ERA, WHIP (0.82), strikeouts per nine innings (11.13) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (10.00), which is nearly twice that of second-place Jordan Zimmermann (5.76) of Washington. He has 104 strikeouts against only eight walks since the beginning of June. The two-time Cy Young Award winner is 2-2 with a 3.74 ERA in five career starts against the Angels, surrendering seven runs (six earned) in six frames in his previous encounter in 2011.
* Under is 7-1 in the last eight meetings at the Dodgers.
* Under is 12-3-1 in the last 16 meetings.
* Angels are 16-7 in the last 23 meetings.
* Angles are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings at the Dodgers.
COVERS CONSENSUS: Fifty-eight percent of wagers are on the Dodgers at -228.

Pentagon surveys employers
The Pentagon wants to better understand how military service affects those who employ members of the Guard and Reserves. The Department of Defense is surveying about 80,000 employers of all sizes across the nation. Guard and Reserve members currently comprise about 50 percent of the military's total strength, according to the Pentagon. Defense officials say they generally receive strong support from companies who employ Guard and Reserve members, who sometimes must be away from their families and their jobs for extended periods of time.

It's Free but it ain't cheap
The white head stones and Arlington and Punchbowl and at many other cemeteries just sit there today, silent but proud monuments to the sacrifice that this country was built upon. Originally called Decoration Day, this is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Several cities lay claim to observing the first memorial day but on this day, from California to the New York Island, from the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters every town village and hamlet honor those who proved Freedom is free but it ain't cheap.

Khadr's sentence upheld
The eight year sentence for Omar Khadr will stand. He is the youngest detainee at the Guantanamo bay detention facility. He was taken there when he was 15 in 2002. On Oct. 25, 2010 he pled guilty to charges that included murder for throwing a grenade that mortally wounded an American soldier in Afghanistan. A military jury at the U.S. base in Cuba recommended a 40-year sentence. But a pretrial agreement limited him to no more than eight years. The Pentagon official in charge of war crimes tribunals upheld the eight-year sentence on Thursday.

President Obama to chose next Joint Chiefs Chairman
Who will be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? The Associated Press indicates "Two people familiar with President Barack Obama's search" indicate he's chosen Army Gen. Martin Dempsey. Pentagon officials asked about it declined to comment on it way or the other. Dempsey would be an interesting choice because he just started a four-year term as Army chief of staff on April 11. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen's term ends Oct. 1.

Defense spending drying up
Defense Secretary Robert Gates is trying to prepare the defense industry for a huge decline in defense spending. Fiscal concerns could cause the Pentagon to abandon some military missions, and reduce the size of the armed forces. He's preparing to retire next month and in one of his last speeches, he told the American Enterprise Institute, that the days of post 9/11 unchallenged defense spend are numbered. He said neither the money nor the political support are there.

Time is running out
U/S intelligence agents are on the hunt around the world for Osama bin Laden's associates. Fred Burton, VP of intelligence at Stratfor says, "the first step is the identification of the individual and the second step is what country are they located in and can you find them." Mullah Omar, Ayman at Zawahiri and Anwar al Awlaki are the top of the list. And if any of them are in Pakistan says Burton, "That's going to pose a unique problem at this time." That problem is restoring trust between the two countries in time to capture them before they disappear.

Al Qaida is warned
President Barack Obama has sent a blunt and chilling warning to Al Qaida. "We not only took out (Osama Bin Laden) the symbol and operational leader of Al Qaida, we walked off with his files." He called it the largest treasure trove of intelligence ever seized from a terrorist. "Today every terrorist in the al Qaida network should be watching their back, because we're going to review every video, examine every photo, read every one of those millions of pages, we're going to pursue lead," said Mr. Obama. He told an audience at the CIA, they're going to go wherever they have to go to finish the job.

Mental health problems rising
The Army surgeon general says U.S. troops in Afghanistan are suffering with the highest rates of mental health problems since 2005 and morale is skidding. The report is a significant and detailed glimpse of the psychological cost of the battle that commanders claim has reversed the momentum of the insurgency. The doctors say morale is suffering given the dramatic increase in fighting, which is at the highest level since they started doing their mental health studies in 2003.

Al Qaida has a new "interim" leader
Why did Al Qaida appoint Saif al Adel as their interim leader? U.S. intelligence sources say there is a split in the al Qaida organization and there a those who don't trust him and feel as though the Egyptian contingent of the organization which is led by Al Qaida number two Ayman al Zawahiri is not radical enough. A former U.S. intelligence official says most of the Al Qaida rank and file wanted a Saudi because they are perceived as having better Islamic credentials. What does the discord mean for Al Qaida? Experts say al Qaida is accustomed to disagreements.

Who's leaking
So who's leaking the material from the Bin Laden raid? Former CIA Osama Bin Laden chief Michael Scheuer on CNN said only a handful high well known ranking intelligence officials have access to it. It's also especially ironic because several former intelligence officials say that some members of the media were being scrutinized after being suspected of receiving classified material and legal action pursued. No word yet on whether an investigation into the Bin Laden leaks will happen or not.

Review By Steve Angelly - August 31, 2006
From product reviews to hands-on experience, NVIDIA's GeForce 7950 GX2 has
been receiving high acclaim from the hardware community. With all of the favorable reports, I was left
wondering how much better a GeForce 7950 GX2 could improve my gaming experience over my currently installed GeForce 7900 GT. As of today I no longer need to wonder as MSI has provided their NX7950GX2-T2D1GE for review.
This review will be slanted toward the gamer in revealing the performance capabilities of the NX7950GX2. Armed with a middle-of-the-road gaming system, I plan to provide you with relevant information and performance results from several gaming benchmarks and my impressions of actual gameplay.
My primary gaming system includes a factory overclocked GeForce 7900 GT. Performance and stability have been exceptional in the latest games and reviewing the NX7950GX2 should reveal if there are benefits from an upgrade. When I began working on this review, the price of the GeForce 7950 GX2 was almost twice as much as the GeForce 7900 GT, although more recently, prices are beginning to approach the $500 mark. Nevertheless, it will take a considerable amount of impressing for me to recommend an upgrade.
The NX7950GX2 is a single graphics card solution that features 48 pixel pipes, 16 vertex shaders, and memory bandwidth in excess of 76GB per second! Product packaging is first-rate as the graphics card and accessories are enclosed in a plastic blister pack. The accessories are neatly tucked away in a heavy-duty cardboard tray and the graphics card is surrounded by high-density foam. A shipping carton provides an extra layer of protection.
The following accessories were included: (2) DVI to VGA adaptors, S-Video extension cable, 9-pin mini-DIN to Component/S-Video dongle, 6-pin PCI Express to 4-pin Molex power plug converter, Quick Installation Guide, Quick User's Guide, MSI Multimedia Driver & Utility CD, Peter Jackson's King Kong (full game), and MSI logo case sticker.
The two G71 GPUs on the NX7950GX2 are essentially the same GPUs that are used on the GeForce 7900 GT and GeForce 7900 GTX, except for being lower clocked at 500MHz. In most cases, the GeForce 7900 GT overclocks beyond the 550MHz mark and the unit I have reaches 585MHz. The question is will the GPUs on the NX7950GX2 exceed the 550MHz clock as well?
How about the Samsung 1.4ns GDDR3 SDRAM, with a default clock speed of 600MHz? Will this memory, which has a history of clocking much higher, do so as well? Some questions to be answered a little later.
Another compelling feature is the ability to add a second GeForce 7950
GX2 to form an SLI configuration. Referred to as Quad NVIDIA SLI, you can really talk up the numbers, although you may argue about the way they are presented. Still, it's an impressive amount.
How about 8 banks of memory or 24 1.4ns GDDR3 memory chips totaling 2GB, 4 G71 GPUs providing a total of 96 pixel pipelines, 32 vertex shaders, and memory bandwidth in excess of 154GB/sec. Impressive? Yes, I think so. Needed? Well, everyone has an opinion, but I'll reserve mine for now, or at least until I can spend some quality time with a Quad SLI configuration.

Brazil's oldest World Cup historian is concerned about the team's right wing and lacklustre performances in the tournament so far, but remains confident the five-times champions can make the final.
"I'm concerned with the Selecao, especially the right wing because Dani Alves isn't doing so well," said Airton Fontenele, who published eight books on Brazilian football and has been collecting World Cup documents, newspaper clippings and football memorabilia since 1950.
"As a fan, I believe Brazil will be the champion, but given the performance so far, there are some doubts," he told Reuters.
"I'm giving the team a five (out of 10) for now. I don't like what's happening on the right.
"Germany is a strong candidate. Argentina hasn't yet shown all its football, but it still is a strong candidate."
"I hope the final is Brazil against Argentina. That's my guess."
Fontenele, a retired public servant from a government bank, became fascinated with football after listening to Brazil's first game in the 1938 World Cup against Poland.
The electrifying match remains as the one with the largest goal count of the 101 World Cup games Brazil have played, ending in a surprise 6-5 overtime victory by the South American team.
"I didn't even like football that much. I thought it was a silly thing," Fontenele said, before describing the goals by Leonidas da Silva and Polish striker Ernest Wilimowski in the 1938 match in detail as if they were happening in front of his eyes.
"It was this match that changed everything and from then on I got excited about football. The excitement of that match, a goal this way, a goal that way, started it all. The passion has remained the same.
"Football used to be more beautiful before, now it's more practical. They used to have a 2-3-5 system with five players attacking, there was a lot more movement. Now it's more careful, they spend a lot of time holding the ball in the middle of the field," he said.
The 86-year-old considers former Brazilian striker Pele the best ever player with forward Zizinho coming a close second, but admits the most beautiful goal ever was scored by Argentina's Diego Maradona in 1986, when he dribbled past five England players to score what's been dubbed "goal of the century."
The more practical style of football played nowadays by Germany, the Netherlands and even Brazil's own national team makes it much less likely that fans will ever see again acrobatic moves such as the bicycle kicks made famous by Leonidas da Silva or the fancy dribbles of Garrincha.
"The way of playing now is uglier. It's all closed up, with six people in the middle, only one in the attack," he said.
Brazil's team, particularly, has been relying too much just on striker Neymar and needs a better midfield, Fontenele added.
"Brazil's hasn't fixed the middle yet. There are too few people in the attack," he said. "There is too much reliance on Neymar and an isolated play here and there with Fred or Hulk."

Christmas attacks in Nigeria by sect kill 39
The bomber killed three people in the blast, though the senior military commander apparently targeted survived the attack, the State Security Service said in a statement.
After the bombings, a Boko Haram spokesman using the nom de guerre Abul-Qaqa claimed responsibility for the attacks in an interview with The Daily Trust, the newspaper of record across Nigeria's Muslim north. The sect has used the newspaper in the past to communicate with public.
Boko Haram has carried out increasingly sophisticated and bloody attacks in its campaign to implement strict Shariah law across Nigeria, a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people. The group, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language, is responsible for at least 504 killings this year alone, according to an Associated Press count.
This Christmas attack comes a year after a series of Christmas Eve bombings in Jos claimed by the militants left at least 32 dead and 74 wounded. The group also claimed responsibility for the Aug. 26 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Nigeria's capital Abuja that killed 24 people and wounded 116 others.
The sect came to national prominence in 2009, when its members rioted and burned police stations near its base of Maiduguri, a dusty northeastern city on the cusp of the Sahara Desert. Nigeria's military violently put down the attack, crushing the sect's mosque into shards as its leader was arrested and died in police custody. About 700 people died during the violence.
While initially targeting enemies via hit-and-run assassinations from the back of motorbikes after the 2009 riot, violence by Boko Haram now has a new sophistication and apparent planning that includes high-profile attacks with greater casualties. That has fueled speculation about the group's ties as it has splintered into at least three different factions, diplomats and security sources say. They say the more extreme wing of the sect maintains contact with terror groups in North Africa and Somalia.
Targeting the group has remained difficult, as sect members are scattered throughout northern Nigeria and nearby Cameroon, Chad and Niger. Analysts say political considerations also likely play a part in the country's thus-far muted response: President Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian from the south, may be hesitant to use force in the nation's predominantly Muslim north.
In a statement, Jonathan condemned the blasts as a "unwarranted affront on our collective safety and freedom."
"I want to reassure all Nigerians that government will not relent in its determination to bring to justice all the perpetrators of today's acts of violence and all others before now," Jonathan said.
However, Jonathan has made the same promises after a series of spiraling attacks by the group. His spokesman, Reuben Abati, defended the president by saying the country planned to spend more on security and had made arrests targeting the group.
"The administration is very determined to address this new threat of terrorism that seems to have slipped into our environment," Abati told the AP.
But anger continues to grow over the sect's apparent ability to strike at will - anger that could be seen at St. Theresa Catholic Church. After the blast, someone picked up a burnt piece of wood to scrawl: "Revolution now in the country" on its cement walls.
Associated Press writers Bashir Adigun in Abuja, Nigeria and Njadvara Musa in Maiduguri, Nigeria contributed to this report.

Gusev, Nikita
KHL Game Day: 1-5-14Submitted by pete on January 5, 2014 - 17:45
Chelyabinsk 2 vs. Bratislava 1
Jaroslav Janus, Bratislava, DNP
Season totals: 28 GP, 12-12-4, 2 SO, 3.11 GAA, .889 sv%
Ex-NHLer Branko Radivojevic's shorthanded goal for Slovan with 2:37 left in regulation made it interesting, but Bratislava still fell 2-1 to Chelyabinsk. Jaroslav Janus sat backup after being shelled in his last outing for the club.
Magnitogorsk 4 vs. Praha 2
Vasily Koshechkin, Magnitogorsk, Win, 40/42, 2.00 GAA, .952 sv%
Season totals: 39 GP, 23-9-6, 7 SO, 1.92 GAA, .938 sv%
Ex-Blue Jackets draft pick Sergei Mozyakin had 1 goal and 2 assists to help propel Magnitogorsk to a 4-2 win over Praha. The bigger story may have been netminder Vasily Koshechkin, though, who stopped 40 shots to help his club overcome a 42-33 shot deficit for the victory.
Novgorod 4 vs. Khanty-Mansiysk 5
Nikita Gusev, Khanty-Mansiysk, 0-0-0, -2, 0 PIM, 2 SOG

Elsewhere, in Andrey Vasilevskiy's absence, Ufa bested CSKA 5-2.
With the U20 World Junior Championships now over, the KHL standing set up as follows for the Lightning's prospects:
Janus and Bratislava appear to be in dire straits in 12th place in the 14 team Western Conference, 10 points behind 8th place Yaroslavl.
Koshechkin and Magnitogorsk are a solid 3rd in the Eastern Conference, 5 points back of leader Ak Bars Kazan. Vasilevskiy's Ufa club sits just 5 points behind Magnitogorsk in 4th in the conference. Nikita Gusev's Yugra club also looks to be in trouble in 11th place in the 14 team Eastern Conference, 14 points back of 8th place Chelyabinsk.
KHL Game Day: 1-3-14Submitted by pete on January 3, 2014 - 17:44

Nikita Gusev, Khanty-Mansiysk, 1-0-1, E, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Season totals: 30 GP, 3-2-5, -7, 10 PIM
Nikita Gusev's goal, his first point in months, was not enough for Yugra as they were doubled up by Ak Bars Kazan 4-2. Kazan got a goal by former Lightning first rounder Alex Svitov, his 8th of the campaign, in the victory.
Elsewhere, sans-Andrey Vasilevskiy Ufa defeated Riga 4-3 in overtime. Ex-NHLer Nikita Filatov had the winner for Ufa.

after that, becker's pct to the end of the match was again 61 %. so he basically served 61 % minus that black hole of 15 missed serves
Hard to believe his serve went so far off the rails. Makes his 100% winning rate on 1st serve in that set deceptive, since there were probably just a handful of good first serves.
Becker missed 9 straight even when he beat Agassi in '95.
Borg and Lendl each missed 10 in a row in USO finals, Borg in '80, Lendl in '88.

As you know he never broke Sampras at Wimbledon. In '95 he didn't even earn a break point, and in '97 he went 0-for-3.
(And talking about bad serving, NBC had him serving at 27% in the first set of that match.)

Interesting! I haven't seen the match in forever, but I still remember how well Courier played, and how Sampras was just better in the end -- though he had to produce some very fine tennis to beat him.

Incredible to think that 68% of his serves did not come back and he came so close to losing the set (had to win the tiebreak 8-6).

Cavalcade of Whimsy
Dec. 6 - Week 14, Part 2
Pete Fiutak
Dec. 6 - Rich, Cam, and
the NCAA's rulings
The C.O.W. airing of the grievances followed by the feats of strength
91.8%. That was the record-setting percentage of first place votes received by Reggie Bush when he won the Heisman (yes, he won the Heisman) in 2005. Even with the off-the-field issues, Cam Newton might still win by an even bigger margin. At least Vince Young was a more-than-worthy No. 2 five years ago; there isn't one this year.
Voting for Newton was a no-brainer, but I stumbled when deciding on my second and third place choices. Usually I have no problems after writing about the Heisman and talking about it for weeks, but I changed my two and three several times before submitting. So with the drama taken out of it and with Newton the slam-dunk winner, here are the other ten players who deserve recognition for being among the signature players of the 2010 college football season.
10. QB Bryant Moniz, Jr. Hawaii
Only 6-0 and 190 pounds, Moniz isn't huge, but he has a good arm for his size and he's not afraid to shy away from contact. Injuries were a problem in the past, but he was healthy this year and the numbers were there to prove it. Colt Brennan was a monster in 2006, throwing for 5,549 yards and 58 touchdowns, but he was a Heisman finalist in 2007 completing 70% of his throws for 4,343 yards and 38 touchdowns with 17 interceptions with eight rushing scores. This year, Moniz led the nation in total offense with 4,705 yards with 4,629 passing yards, 36 touchdowns and 11 picks, and he ran for four scores. While he crashed against Boise State with just 127 yards and no scores, he was terrific throughout the rest of the year beating Nevada with 287 yards and three touchdowns and bombing away for 532 yards against Louisiana Tech and 560 yards against San Jose State, which turned out to be the two biggest total yardage games by anyone this year. Consider him a fringe candidate in 2011.
9. QB Tyrod Taylor, Sr. Virginia Tech
The Hokies are known for their fantastic ground game, great special teams, and strong defense, but it was Taylor who carried them to an ACC title and a berth in the Orange Bowl. The killer for the Heisman résumé, and the Virginia Tech season, is the James Madison game, with just 124 passing yards, a touchdown, an interception, and 86 rushing yards in the inexplicable loss, but he has been flawless throughout the rest of the season with just one interception and 15 touchdowns over the last eight games. The leader of a tremendous 11-game winning streak, he has thrown for 2,521 yards and 23 touchdowns with just four picks, and he has run for 637 yards and five scores. He should've been more in the mix for some of the post-season awards, like the Unitas, and a case could be made that he's college football's most underappreciated star. While he's just 6-1 and 217 pounds, he's an improved passer, extremely mobile, and now, he's a three-time ACC champion.
8. RB Jordan Todman, Jr. Connecticut
Complain all you want about Connecticut being in the Fiesta Bowl, but it's in, and it wouldn't be even close without Todman. The Huskies can't throw the ball, ranking last in the Big East and 112th in the nation in passing, and 113th in passing efficiency; everyone knows the fastball is coming, but can't hit it. Even though the nation's No. 2 rusher is the target of every defensive gameplan, and even though he missed the Buffalo game, when he would've fattened the stats up big-time, he still managed to run for 1,574 yards and 14 touchdowns with a Big East-season defining 222 yards on 37 carries against Pitt and 175 yards and three scores against Cincinnati. Only 5-9 and 190 pounds, he's arguably the toughest pound-for-pound player in America.
7. QB Denard Robinson, Soph. Michigan
What position would he play? That was the big question before spring ball as the 6-0, 188-pound sophomore appeared to be the No. 2 man at quarterback (at best) and with the coaching staff wanting to get his athleticism (he was a Florida state-champion level sprinter) on the field. And then he showed off why he's a quarterback, improving his passing to go along with his phenomenal rushing skills. Remember, there was a time in the first half of the season when the Heisman chase was over. Robinson was electric throwing for 200 yards or more in four of the first six games, while running for 991 yards and nine scores over the first half, but then he started to get dinged up, struggled to get through games, and was less than effective in several key games. Even so, he still finished fourth in the nation in rushing with 1,643 yards with 14 scores and he threw for 2,316 yards and 16 touchdowns with ten interceptions. Considering the poor defense and all the struggles the team had with its consistency, he was the reason the program took a step forward and he's the reason it's going to a bowl game.
6. LB Luke Kuechly, Soph. Boston College
Was Kuechly's outstanding freshman season a fluke? He finished second in the nation in tackles with double-digit stops in the last nine games of the season. However, he didn't get much national attention from anyone outside of CFN, mostly because the story of the Boston College linebacking corps was the health of Mark Herzlich. This year, Keuchly not only proved that he wasn't a one-year wonder, he improved, finishing with a nation-leading 171 tackles, 20 more than the No. 2 man, Mason Foster. His 102 solo tackles alone would've tied him for 61st in the nation along with Florida's Ahmad Black and ahead of big names like Michigan State's Greg Jones and Oklahoma's Travis Lewis. How productive was he? The ten tackles he made against Syracuse in the season-finale was his lowest output of the season.
5. RB LaMichael James, Soph. Oregon
A Heisman finalist and a mortal lock to win the Doak Walker Award as the nation's best running back, James was the showstopper for the nation's most fearsome offense. He overcame his off-the-field problems that kept him out of the season-opener against New Mexico to lead the nation with 1,682 yards and 21 touchdowns, while catching 13 passes for 169 yards and a score. Not just a home run specialist, he ran the ball 281 times with 20 caries or more in each of the last nine games, working both inside and out, pounding away until he got an opening and BOOM. Game over. How much did he mean to the team? The Ducks were seriously challenged just two times this year, against Arizona State and Cal, and he was held to under 100 yards in both games. It's not like he was shut down, running for 94 against the Sun Devils and 91 against the Bears, but when he wasn't quite as explosive, and the offense showed it. His biggest game of the season came in the team's biggest win, ripping up Stanford for 257 yards and three scores.
4. QB Kellen Moore, Jr. Boise State
At 6-0 and 186 pounds Moore isn't big, has a decent arm, and he's not all that mobile, but he's accurate and he's 37-2 record as the starter. His stats would've been far more amazing if he had to play a full sixty minutes in more games. The Heisman finalist finished second in the nation in passing efficiency (behind Mr. Newton) completing 71% of his throws for 3,506 yards and 33 touchdowns with five interceptions. He threw two of more touchdown passes in every game and he only threw multiple picks in one game, the 42-7 obliteration of Hawaii, when he threw for 507 yards and three scores. It might not be fair, but if Kyle Brotzman had nailed the game-winning kick against Nevada, Moore's phenomenal late heave, and the miraculous Titus Young grab, might have solidified the No. 2 spot in the Heisman race.
3. QB Andrew Luck, Soph. Stanford
Luck had a great year and was the main reason Stanford finished No. 4 in the BCS, got to the Orange Bowl, and was on the fringe of the national title discussion. However, the Heisman finalist might have to settle for being the school's second-straight runner-up and the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. He has it all with size, smarts, temperament, arm, and mobility, running for 438 yards and three scores to go along with 3,051 yards, 28 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. After throwing two interceptions in back-to-back games against Notre Dame and Oregon, he tossed just three interceptions the rest of the way and didn't have any other multi-pick games. While he might have been on the losing end of the Oregon game, he threw for a season-high 341 yards and two scores and ran for a touchdown.
2. QB Colin Kaepernick, Sr. Nevada
Only three players in the history of college football have run and thrown for 20 touchdowns in the same season, and two of those seasons led to a Heisman win. Tim Tebow won it in 2007 after being the first to set the mark, Cam Newton will win it this year, and Kaepernick is the third, running for 20 scores and throwing for 20. With one more game against Boston College in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, he'll finish his career with more than 10,000 passing yards and more than 4,000 rushing yards, combining with Vai Taua for the most rushing yards by any duo in the history of college football. But the Heisman is based on a season, not a career, and he took the Wolf Pack to 12-1 with a classic win over Boise State and a 52-31 win over a Cal team that almost beat Oregon. As good a leader as he was, he got my No. 3 vote for the historic stats, running for 1,184 yards and 20 scores, and throwing for 2,830 yards and 20 touchdowns with seven interceptions. Oh yeah, and he was the leader of the WAC champion and the greatest season in Nevada football history.
1. WR Justin Blackmon, Jr. Oklahoma State
Pitt's Larry Fitzgerald came within an eyelash of winning the 2003 Heisman after catching 87 passes for 1,595 yards and 22 touchdowns in 12 regular season games. It was an awesome, dominant season that was among the greatest in college football history. With one fewer game on the résumé, hurt by a one-game suspension for an off-the-field incident, Blackmon caught 102 passes for 1,664 yards and 18 touchdowns while setting an NCAA record for catching at least one touchdown pass and gaining at least 100 yards in every game he played in. Unstoppable, he caught ten passes or more in five games and produced against everyone. Nebraska had the best pass defense in the Big 12, but it gave up five caches for 157 yards and two scores to Blackmon, hurt mostly by an 80-yarder. How impressive was Blackmon's season? His 151 yards per game were 22 more per game than the No. 2 man, Hawaii's Greg Salas. To put that into perspective, he averaged 15% more yards per game than the second most productive receiver in America, and he averaged more receiving yards per game than ten teams. I put him in as my runner-up.

- Denard Robinson was named the Big Ten Player of the Year. So he was the First Team All-Big Ten quarterback, right? No, that was Northwestern's Dan Persa. So he had to be second-team, right? No, that was Wisconsin's Scott Tolzien.
- Pointed out by a reader. Tennessee-Chattanooga lost to Oklahoma in 2008 57-2. The Sooners went on to play in the BCS Championship. UTC lost to Alabama 45-0 last year. The Tide won the national title. This year, the Mocs got the honor of losing to Auburn 62-24.
- The Unitas Award couldn't go to a better guy than Wisconsin's Scott Tolzien.
- The curious fun-stat of the week. FIU converted just 1-of-11 third down conversions against Middle Tennessee, but QB Wesley Carroll completed 15-of-19 passes on the day.
- The nation's hottest running back to end the season … Hawaii's Alex Green? The senior ran for 463 yards and four touchdowns on just 34 carries, averaging 13.6 yards per crack over his last two games.

» Aeropostale, Inc. Q2 2008 Earnings Call Transcript
I would like to remind everyone that this conference call is being recorded and I would like to introduce Mr. Ken Ohashi, the company's Vice President of Investor & Media Relations.
Ken Ohashi
Thank you all for joining us this afternoon. With me here today are Julian Geiger, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mindy Meads, our President and Chief Merchandising Officer, Tom Johnson, our Chief Operating Officer and Michael Cunningham, our Chief Financial Officer. We issued a press release earlier this afternoon announcing our fourth quarter and fiscal 2008, financial results. A copy of the release can be found on our corporate website.
Before we begin, I would like to remind you that during this earnings conference call, certain statements and responses to questions may contain forward-looking information such as forecasts of future financial performance. Forward-looking information and statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results and future periods to differ materially from our forecasted results.
Those risks are described in our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, all of which have been filed with the SEC and are available on our website. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Listeners of this call are referred to those filings. Before I turn the call over to Julian, I would like to remind everyone to limit themselves to one question during our Q and A session to allow everyone to speak.
I would now like to turn the call over to Julian.
Julian Geiger
Thanks, Ken. Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us today. All of us at Aeropostale are extremely pleased with our record results for both the fourth quarter and fiscal 2008. While the results would be impressive in any economic climate, they are truly extraordinary given the uncertain and challenging times and which we are operated.
Our performance underscores the vitality of the Aeropostale brand, the strength of our operating model and our ability to understand the team customers. Let me take you through some of the financial highlights of both the quarter and the year. During Q4 our net sales increased 17% to $690 million and our same-store sales increased 6% compared to a 9% increased last year.
Total net sales from our e-commerce business increased 88% to $41 million and earnings per share grew 6% to a record $1.01 per share from $0.95 per share last year. For the full year, net sales increased 19% to almost $1.9 billion. Total net sales from our e-commerce business increased 85% to $79 million. Same-store sales for the year increased 8% compared to a 3% increase last year.
Marking our 11 consecutive year of positive same-store sales and earnings per share reached $2.21, a 28% increased over earnings of $1.73 per share last year. A year ago at this time, we clearly outlined our strategic initiatives for the upcoming year. We are very pleased that the manner in which we executed each of these initiatives.
As you may remember, these initiatives included listening to our customer, maintaining a fresh and balanced merchandise assortment, delivering compelling values, creating a climate and exciting shopping experience through a preplanned promotion and innovative marketing programs focusing on inventory management, maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing costs effectively, developing our new concepts and continuing our expansion by opening 89 Aeropostale stores in North America, all of them in our New architectural format.
Our consistent performance throughout the year indicates that we have been successful in achieving these objectives. As a result, our brand had never been stronger and we are well positioned to continue to gain additional market share. I'm very proud of the entire organization's dedication, determination and expertise.
Before I turn the call over to Mindy, I want to comment briefly on Jimmy'Z. As you all know we made the difficult decision last month to close the concept. Once again I would like to thank the entire Jimmy'Z organization for its hard work, commitment and dedication to the brand.
Now I would like to turn the call over to Mindy, who will take you through some of the merchandising highlights from the fourth quarter.
Mindy Meads
Thank you, Julian. I too would like to reiterate how pleased I'm with the record results for both the fourth quarter and full year. During the important holiday season, we continue to experience strong brand momentum by offering the customer, the best combination of fashion and value. The entire product development team did an excellent job identifying evolving trends and product details that are happening in the marketplace and marking them relevant to the teams customer.

Scrambler 2, Old Man 0
So the title pretty much sums up the weekend, including this morning's effort to post on ADV. I had written a long and detailed story regarding the weekend's failed efforts to make the Scrambler run, but when finished the post, including pictures, just disappeared. Sheesh. So here is an abbreviated version;
Saturday installed complete fuel system from race bike, reasoning it had ran only a month ago, it was the "sure thing" to get the Scrambler started;
Despite very careful efforts at setting valves and ignition, the best I could get on Saturday was a large backfire out of the carbs. Tried reversing the points advance cam, but that only changed the point at which the backfire occurred.
Sunday morning, cold and snowy, heading out to shop;
It was bit chilly inside as well;
Built a fire and started the heater buddy, then went to work. I will save you all the gory details until later, suffice it to say I started at square one, taking the top end apart as far as possible while still in the frame;
...and checking the cam installation against the Clymer manual and also comparing with the sage advice of Paul's Honda Master Mechanic Gary. It seems to be installed correctly;
Cam pin is up and sprocket correctly aligned. Problem must somehow be in the advance unit. I tried several different ways of timing and advancing and double checking that the bike was on the TDC of the FIRING stroke, but the only progress really made is it no longer backfires, still wont start. During times of contemplation I did adjust the rear chain & rear brakes, installed the muffler, hooked up the clutch and jury rigged the electric starter. All good things.
Since I have today off, am headed out shortly to have another go at it, wish me luck!

Wonderful B & B. Safe, clean, and owners were very welcoming and knowledgeable of the area. Breakfast was delicious!! Definelty recommend staying at the Ivy Lodge.
They were friendly. Brought you breakfast in the morning
We stayed in one of the inn's newest rooms (they've recently expanded), and our room was beautiful & spacious. The building is brand new to the inn, but everything ran like clockwork.
Check in was handled somewhat awkwardly in the entry to the restaurant. Otherwise, it was a great experience!
Outstanding home made breakfast! Friendly and helpful staff. Great location close to downtown Newport.
The location is great! Right in the downtown, a walking distance from all the restaurants and landmarks. The owner is great, breakfast was very good!
Great locations and friendly staff. Free parking in the heart of Newport. Value for the money.
The room was noisy and a bit cold. The place is an historic in but was feeling dated, by that I mean a bit shabby.
Great location in downtown Newport on Memorial (near Belvue). The restaurant downstairs is convenient and excellent. Parking is good at a lot in the back. You can walk downtown, to Annie's around the corner, and get to most places easily.
It's a little quirky to go through the restaurant to get to the room, but was not a problem for us. The room layout was dependent on the original historical building, but some folks may not like the bathroom without a door. Again, we didn't mind.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove 2007
Bordeaux Red Blends from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
2007 was a sunny vintage, and in spite of the relatively low temperatures, the grapes ripened perfectly, preserving their complexity and aromatic freshness. Intense in color, Le Serre Nuove dell' Ornellaia 2007 presents a complex nose, with intense red berry fruit, sweet spices, and balsamic mint and eucalyptus accents. Ample and silky on the palate, it displays an elegant, vibrant tannic structure, and fresh sweet fruit with intense minty accents.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Le Serre Nuove presents an intense and harmonious bouquet that is accented by opulent notes of black cherry, chocolate, cinnamon spice, leather and tobacco. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot ends long on the close with enduring density and velvety texture."
Wine Spectator - "Really dark in color, with tar and licorice aromas and hints of raisin. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and an attractive finish. Fruity and polished. The second wine of Ornellaia. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best after 2011. 14,165 cases made."
The Wine Advocate - "The just-bottled 2007 Le Serre Nuove opens with sweet scents of mocha, berries, spices and flowers that lead to a soft, seamless expression of fruit. This is an accessible, silky-textured Serre Nuove to enjoy while the 2006 rests in the cellar. It is an unusually harmonious, refined wine that is sure to deliver much pleasure over the coming years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022."
International Wine Cellar - "Deep ruby. Knockout aromas of blackcurrant, violet, cherry pit, mocha and black pepper convey an appealingly refined quality. Enters with black fruit and black pepper flavors, then veers towards cedar, coffee, blueberry and blackberry. Sweet and seamlessly tannic on the persistent finish, this is by far the best Le Serre Nuove to date-and better than some weaker past vintages of Ornellaia. Its harmonious acids keep it dancing on your palate, despite its above-average concentration. A dead ringer for a high-quality Bordeaux."

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Winery
In 1981, Marchese Lodovico Antinori breathed new life into Tenuta dell' Ornellaia, an estate whose potential had been ignored for decades. With the help of Andre Tchelistcheff, the famous agronomist, Antinori planted the first French vines in Bolgheri, which lies in the heart of Tuscany's coastal region, Maremma. The estate yields some of the finest Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc in Tuscany. In 2002, Marchesi de' Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi became owners of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, which is now owned exclusively by Marchesi de' Frescobaldi. View all Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — A little piece of downtown Punxsy nostalgia is back, as Caterina's Dolce Cucina owner Katie Laska has installed a few of the single-seat booths from the former Ruth & Harry's Restaurant in her coffee shop.
The left-hand wall inside Caterina's was once shared with Ruth & Harry's, which closed in 1994 and was razed in the late 1990s. Hair Trends now occupies the space.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — As the first "Garden of the Month" for the summer of 2011, the recipient — the IUP Academy of Culinary Arts — probably has the most functional use of all gardens in town.
Some of the plants in the garden — cited for the month of May by the Punxsutawney Garden Club — are edible herbs, such as mint, sage, oregano, chives, thyme, peppers and others, that may be used in dishes prepared by culinary students.
"I want to know if the peppers are extremely hot," said Richard Manslow, project director for Indiana University of Pennsylvania. "I'm dying to know."

BMC Microbiology 2013, 13:13 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-13-13Published: 23 January 2013
Several genotyping protocols have been described to study Candida albicans strains with different sensitivity values. In this study we have analyzed the genetic relatedness and the antifungal susceptibility of several Candida albicans strains isolated from a patient who from suffered recurrent candiduria for a period of five years. Strains were genotyped using Microsatellite Length Polymorphism (MLP) with three microsatellite markers (HIS 3, EF 3 and CDC 3), and a new method based on high resolution melting (HRM) was developed to analyze the microsatellite region. This method was compared with the conventional technique that uses capillary electrophoresis.
MICs of the isolates showed the existence of fluconazole susceptible and resistant strains. An inter-colony test using single concentration (8 and 16 mg/l) of fluconazole revealed the coexistence of both fluconazole susceptible and resistant strains. Both genotyping analysis methods showed that all the patient's isolates had a clonal origin. HRM analysis method developed was able to accurately establish strain relatedness and presented a discriminatory power of 0.77.
Although HRM analysis method presented a lower discriminatory power compared to methods based on capillary electrophoresis, it provided a more cost-effective and suitable alternative for genotyping C. albicans in a clinical laboratory.

Orton leads Broncos past Bills, 24-10
The Broncos elected not to select a run-stuffer in a draft that was deep in defensive tackles, and earlier in the week they lost Ty Warren (triceps), their top free agent signing, and Marcus Thomas (chest) in the same practice.
So, Kevin Vickerson and Brodrick Bunkley got the starts. Bunkley had a couple of noteworthy plays, flattening Fitzpatrick in the first quarter and deflecting a pass from Fitzpatrick in the second that he nearly chased down for a pick-six.
The Bills took a 3-0 lead on Rian Lindell's 40-yard field goal after Brad Smith got the first down on a fake punt on the game's opening drive.
Broncos rookie safety Rahim Moore's hit on Donald Jones sparked a short scuffle and left the Bills' wide receiver on the ground for several minutes before he got to his feet and walked to the locker room in the second quarter.
Jones had beaten Cassius Vaughn down the Bills' sideline, but Fitzpatrick's throw overshot Jones, and Moore sliced in and hit the defenseless receiver under the chin. The back of Jones' head hit the ground, and Moore was flagged for a personal foul.
Bills running back Fred Jackson and wide receiver Stevie Johnson both shoved Moore after the play.
The drive ended when linebacker D.J. Williams intercepted a pass that bounced off wide receiver Marcus Easley a few plays later.
Tyler Thigpen's 13-yard pass to Felton Huggins made it 24-10, but his fourth-down pass to Kamar Aiken was knocked away by Perrish Cox in the end zone with four minutes remaining.
NOTES: Broncos S David Bruton sustained a head injury in the fourth quarter. ... Fox is the 14th coach in Broncos history.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
File under: concert experiences seared into your subconscious. Lollapalooza, 1994. Boredoms founder Yamatsuka Eye leapt a good eight feet into the air, shrieking as if someone had just jammed a firecracker into his sneaker. Jocks with backward baseball caps, and their slack-jawed girlfriends, didn't know what the hell to make of this ragged Technicolor orchestra. Still, they knew Boredoms were post-rock for sure. What the assembled crowd got that day was rock's flaming shards, the fallout.
Since then, Boredoms have rejected their place amid rock's ruin. They've changed from no-wave pranksters into Funkadelic cosmonauts raised on manga comics and hippie drum circles. They've rewritten Stockhausen's tape edits with guitar, bass, drums, and voice: whomp, whiz, whoosh, tape-splice-noise, ka-chunk. They've gone from swindling alt-rock on Reprise's dime to raising the game for the entire Japanoise generation with three epic slabs of space jam: 1998's Super AE, 1999's Vision Creation Newsun, and its remix, 2001's Rebore V.0: Vision Recreation. Rebore goes beyond mere remixing: It's 40 years of studio tricknology warping its parent album like hot wax. A cousin to Terry Riley's all-night flights, the album severs Boredoms from their presupposed need to rock or funk or, well, do anything.
Rechristened Voordoms (minus their guitarist and bass player), the band readies its new album, which is set for release in 2003. Curious about any missing pieces in the meantime? Check guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto's recent solo record, Crown of Fuzzy Groove. From a guy called Yamamotor, this album is decidedly soft sell and soft-shoe--not a distorted riff or noise ejaculation in sight. No octopus drumming, either. Yamamoto peels back layer upon layer of gentle guitar fuzz and cymbal swoosh. Listen closely and you'll find dearly departed Juan Esquivel and his lazily insouciant exotica. Pansonic's blips and bloops beam in from Finnish darkness. Hallucinatory references to Brian Eno's ambient ecologies surface briefly. Everything's still, like crystals in suspension. And then it's over, takeoff to touchdown, without leaving your bed.
So call it trip-hop, if trip-hop is the ambient noises of Yoda's bog world. Or downtempo, if downtempo isn't just wallpaper for the Wallpaper set. Or just call it Boredoms, if you like--it's the only description you can be sure of.
