Orlando Sentinel college insider Matt Murschel ranked all 128 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in the country entering the 2015-16 season. The Sentinel staff takes a closer look at a new team daily, counting backward from No. 128 to our projected No. 1 team.
Today at No. 98: South Alabama
Coach: Joey Jones (37-28, entering seventh season; 40-35 overall)
2014 record: 6-7 overall, 5-3 Sun Belt; tied for fourth in Sun Belt
Look back: South Alabama won five of its first seven games before struggling through a mix of tough Sun Belt opponents and a nonconference games against South Carolina and Navy.
However, the team still managed to earn a bid to the Camellia Bowl.
The Jaguars lost 33-28 after Bowling Green scored in the final 80 seconds, but South Alabama became the fastest NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision team to participate in a bowl after accomplishing the feat during its second FBS season.

Half of the teams in the SEC were ranked in the top 25 in the nation in total defense thanks to a plethora of talent. Here are some linebackers and secondary players to watch in 2015:
Reggie Ragland, Alabama: Ragland stepped into the weak-side linebacker spot following the departure of C.J. Mosley and made his own mark by registering 95 total tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and three fumble recoveries in 2014 for the Crimson Tide and was named a first-team, All-SEC selection.
Antonio Morrison, Florida: Morrison became the first Gator to register 100 or more tackles in a season since Ahmad Black in 2010 and was the first linebacker to do it since Brandon Spikes in 2007. Six times last season he tallied double-digit in tackles including a career-high 16 tackles against South Carolina.
Vernon Hargreaves, Florida: Hargreaves has quickly developed into one of the best defensive backs in college football. Last season, the sophomore led the SEC with 13 pass breakups while intercepting...Read more
The SEC has a long history of producing some of the country's best linemen. On both sides of the football, these players are ready to make an impact in 2015:
Myles Garrett, Texas A&M: The Aggies defensive lineman earned second-team, All-SEC honors last season after setting both school and conference records for most sacks in a season by a freshman (10.0). Garrett also led A&M with 12.5 tackles for loss and 9.0 quarterback hurries in 2014.
Derek Barnett, Tennessee: Barnett shined last season for Tennessee as the defensive end set marks for most tackles for loss (20.5) and sacks (10.0) by a true freshman in school history. He ranked fifth on the team in total tackles with 72 and is a key component for the Vols in 2015.
Vadal Alexander, LSU: One of the top offensive linemen in the SEC, Alexander has 34 career starts under his belt and has been an integral part of LSU's success in the ground game as the Tigers averaged more than 224 yards per game. His next challenge is...Read more

Today at No. 99: Akron
Coach: Terry Bowden (11-25, entering fourth season, 151-87-2)
2014 record: 5-7, 3-5 in the Mid-American Conference, fourth in East Division
Look back: Akron entered last season riding a wave of momentum. The program was coming off its best season since 2008, including winning its final three games of the year. A 2014 season-opening win over Howard had the Zips riding a four-game win streak. But that ended with back-to-back losses to Penn State and Marshall. Another win streak — this time three games — appeared to get Akron back on track, but struggles in the red zone helped the Zips lose six of their remaining seven games.

Quarterback Brandon Doughty led the nation in passing yards last season while leading Western Kentucky to an 8-win season. Along the way, the redshirt senior set new marks as the school's all-time leading passer.
This season, the Hilltoppers are preseason favorites to win Conference USA and Doughty could find himself among the elite quarterbacks in the country.
The Davie, Florida native spoke with the Orlando Sentinel this spring about a variety of topics. Here are a few of his responses:
Q: This was your third spring as the starting quarterback. What's been the difference from your first to your third?
Brandon Doughty: "There's lots of differences. I've got a lot of confidence going into this spring. I'm a two-time captain so that's something that I take pride in. I've just got to take a leadership role and be a little bit more vocal. I've got to get those new guys to buy into what we're trying to do. I think that's important going down the road here."
Q: Western Kentucky finished fourth...Read more

Today at No. 100: New Mexico State
Coach: Doug Martin (4-20, entering third season; 33-73 overall)
2014 record: 2-10 overall, 1-7 Sun Belt; ninth in Sun Belt
Look back: New Mexico State faces some of the biggest challenges among Football Bowl Subdivision programs, with a relatively small budget and limited recruiting base in southern New Mexico hindering the growth of the program. The team was a member of the Western Athletic Conference and spent one tough 2-10 season as an independent after the WAC dropped football. The Aggies landed in the Sun Belt last season, managing just two wins — one against FCS Cal-Poly and the other against a Georgia State team transitioning to the FBS level.

Nike Nationals is far from being the biggest tournament of the summer in terms of the number of teams but the four day event in North Augusta, S.C., was loaded with talent. The tournament was a coming out party for some of the players without years of national recognition and a statement of big things to come from others. Performances throughout the tournament will shake up the 2009 ESPN HoopGurlz Hundred. In addition to those covered in the daily tip sheets there were many others who performed at extremely high levels.
Six-foot-two Amanda Anderson from The Woodlands, Texas, can play both on the wing and at the forward spot. Sometimes overshadowed by Cy-Fair teammates Taber Spani and Chiney Ogwumlke, she brought a versatility to the floor that made defenses make some tough match up decisions all summer. She can put the ball on the floor and is a threat out to 15 feet on the perimeter. At the same time she has the size to be effective inside when paired with the right post. Her lean build and tendency to play finesse basketball will have to change when she moves on to the college level but the ability to play inside and out makes her a great fit for someone's high post offense.
University of Georgia commit Ann Marie Armstrong, a 6-3 wing from Norcross, Ga., displayed a multifaceted game that will have her climbing the post summer rankings in the weeks to come. The Georgia Elite standout has the perimeter tools and size to force opponents to decide between a guard, a post or just going zone. Her shooting range and solid stroke makes even that zone a less appealing option. A very active offensive threat, she can penetrate off the dribble or create her shots with effective cutting. She's smart and distributes the ball well when defenses rotate but needs to look for her own shot more often than she does.
Indianapolis' Alexandria Bentley can flat out score the basketball. With Family teammate Skylar Diggins playing with the USA Basketball U18 team it was Bentley who took control offensively. She stands just 5-7 but this combo guard can make big plays. She exudes confidence with the basketball. She showed the ability to create space for her shot from all over the court. She steps back into mid-range jumpers as well as pulls the trigger from behind the arc. The Ben Davis star also put the ball on the floor and got to the cup, something she'll need to do more of and get herself to the line more in college. She has a scorer's mentality in that she doesn't let a miss or two stop her from making the next play. The question for her in college is what position does she play? She has the ballhandling skills to play the point but a knack for scoring the ball. She's too good not to play, regardless of her position though.
Asya Bussie is a force in the post for Boo Williams. The 6-3 player from Randallstown, Md., has a body made for D-I basketball. She is strong, agile, and aggressive on the court. She posts well, using her body to hold position, but the real magic happens after she catches the ball. She moves very smoothly with the ball and her countermoves seem effortless. She has the ability to finish towards the rim or show a nice jump-hook in the lane. She rebounds very well by virtue of her combination of athleticism and aggressiveness. She did show the tendency to bring the ball down in traffic where the pesky guards could take a swipe at it but that is correctable. Her strengths translate directly to the college game and she will be a force even if she doesn't have the big name recognition of some other bigs in the '09 class.
Tennessee Flight guard Kayla Christopher brings tremendous shooting ability to the court. When defenses lock in on other positions, especially crowding the paint to slow Jasmine Hassell, it is this 5-9 Harriman, Tenn., native that releases the pressure with a flick of her wrist. The shooter from Oliver Springs High School always has herself ready to shoot, even when the ball is on the opposite sideline. She combines that with a pretty quick release which is exactly what you want your shooter doing. She doesn't let a miss or two deter her from doing her job and shooting the next open look. She'll need to become an expert on setting her man up and running them into screens at the next level where she won't get as much time or space to get her shot off.
Layshia Clarendon, from San Bernardino, Calif., brought her A-game to Nike Nationals. The 5-9 combo guard played with an assertive aggressiveness her team needed. So many teams keyed on Monique Oliver in the paint and Kaleena Lewis on the perimeter that Clarendon found herself in more one-on-one situations then she'll ever see during her high school season. Earlier in the summer she had been a bit of a jump shooter, but, the Cajon High School star really made things happen off the bounce and got to the rim consistently this week. For Clarendon getting to the rim and not settling for jump shots is vital for her to be a go-to player. If she plays this consistent in college she'll be an impact player.
It isn't often that highly ranked players surprise folks with new skills but that's exactly what China Crosby did. The 5-6 point guard representing the Bronx, N.Y., showed a deadly accuracy from three-point range. The super-shifty star for the Manhattan Center added this shot which perfectly complements her ability to break defenders down off the
dribble. With a little added strength she will be a nightmare to defend in college as she is an impeccable passer in traffic. Being a bigger presence defensively should come with added strength but her quickness alone should allow her to make an impact on both ends of the floor.
Simone Egwu, a 6-3 post out of Odenton, Md., and the Boo Williams program has just begun to discover how deep her potential runs. Committed to the University of Virginia, she has the size and build to compete effectively when she moves on to ACC competition. She already has impressive physical strength and a willingness to use it. Posting up aggressively, she looks for the ball from the wing and the high post and has good foot work. On the catch she'll have to be more consistent with her post moves in creating her shots rather than relying on her size. She also has the ability to run the floor with the guards allowing her to start the break as well as finish it.
USC bound Kendall Hackney, a 6'2 wing from Cincinnati, Ohio, is one of the tops in a new breed of perimeter players. Having both size and mobility to combine with her well honed skills she presents defenses with headache on every possession. She can get to the rim on the drive and has the range and form to force defenders to come out on her. She reads well when penetrating and can make the smart pass to set up her All-Ohio teammates. Defensively she has good lateral speed allowing her to guard the perimeter as well as the post. She sees the floor well and is quick in help side rotations.
Big things can come in small packages as Jonae Ervin showed for the Cal Swish. The 5-5 point guard is the engine running the Swish team. The sparkplug from Brea, Calif., made play after play in the tournament and she did it taking very few shots. If ever you wanted to see penetrate-and-pitch watch Ervin. She bolts into the lane at full throttle with the intent of setting up her teammates. Despite rarely taking a shot she attacks the lane with such vigor that the help defenders still commit to her and once they do she is fantastic and delivering the ball to her scorers. Obviously in college the advanced scouting reports will make note of this so being a little more selfish a time or two and scoring enough to keep the defense honest will be the next step for her as a point guard.
Adrienne GodBold first drew praise from ESPN HoopGurlz for her athleticism and toughness defensively during the Nike Regional Skills Academy in Indianapolis. Not only did she confirm what we saw in May she showed even more. The 5-11 guard from Chicago's Marshall High School can shut the opposition's top player down defensively and make life miserable on the offensive end. She is explosive which leads to many defenders giving her a cushion but that's when she's got you because she can flat out shoot the rock. The swing guard for the Illinois Hustle shot the ball extremely well throughout the tournament. She could be a little more consistent going to her off hand but overall she had a great tournament.
Brianna Jones from Toledo, Ohio, looked good earlier in the summer and even better in North Augusta. She is a 6-2 lefty post with a college body. She can deliver physical punishment in the paint but also has the agility to play the high post and short corners with good effectiveness. She has a jump shot that starts behind her head, sort of vintage 1970's NBA, but she makes a respectable percentage from 15 feet and in. She is a good rebounder who can eat up space and free players like Destiny Williams up to clean the offensive glass. For Jones expanding her back to the basket game will help her be ready for the college game.
Six-foot-two Shauntel Nobles from Haslet, Texas, has both the size and the quickness that college coaches dream of. The DFW Elite post and Texas Tech commitment utilizes that agility in both the half court and full court situations. Her ability to flash on opposing defenders gets her entry passes in the paint and good looks at the rim. In transition she has the speed to get out ahead of defenders and run the floor. On the defensive end that same speed gives her the physical tools to defend almost every position on the floor and be an opponents nightmare in any press. Her basketball skills will have to catch up with her athletic talents as she moves to the Big 12, but everything is in place for the folks in Lubbock to be smiling.
Eliza Pierre, the 5-7 guard out of Pasadena, Calif., may have set a new standard for perimeter players this summer. Her ability to dictate a game from the defensive end of the floor is something rare and even more so, something valuable to college coaches. It's not just her defensive ability, which speaks for itself. The way that she embraces the role and focuses on being that "stopper" for her West Coast Premier team set her apart from the majority of the players she lined up against. Her harassing on ball defense is highlighted by great speed and quickness and tremendous anticipation. Her offensive skills continued to improve throughout the summer as she became a more attacking player and looked for her own scoring options. A consistent and reliable jumper will allow her to become a threat at both ends of the floor.
Most of the time the attention goes to the players who do the scoring and players like Monique Smalls that bring energy to every other part of the game get overlooked. The 5-5 point guard from The Woodlands, Texas, plays the game with a lot of heart. She takes on the tough defensive assignment and never backs down. Offensively the Texas Tech commit is really good off the bounce. She loves to get into the lane and play distributor for her teammates and she is very good at it. She can get to the cup on her own but where she needs to improve the most before hitting hardwood for the Red Raiders is knocking down perimeter jumpers. She often passes up open looks that she'll need to knock down in college. She gets away with it now because she's so skilled at getting into the lane off the dribble but becoming more versatile will make her a much better player on the next level.
Dara Taylor stands just 5-6 but she packs a wicked punch. The point guard from Wilmington, Del., seemed uncrackable against DFW's pressure in pool play. She stayed as cool as the other side of the pillow even when doubled and what was great to see was the balance she maintained between scoring herself and making the right pass. You usually don't expect a shifty breakdown player on a team that is so well known for running their sets but Taylor has plenty of funk in her game to make plays late in the shot clock or whenever the game's momentum requires it. She does need to get stronger to take the physical punishment of the college game but her toughness makes up for it at this level.
Ieasia Walker, a 5-7 point guard from Amityville, N.Y., and the NY Elite Silver Bullets, is going to put a big smile on her college coach's face as a freshman a year from now. Her game already has a lot of the components that set the high school and colligate games apart. She is physically strong, plays aggressive and is just a tough competitor in general. She has one on one skills that allow her to penetrate and create both her own looks and improve those of her teammates. Her willingness to push the ball in transition keeps defenses on their heels and often leads to mismatches. Her perimeter shot will be the key to forcing defenders out on her and giving her the opportunity drive and make things happen.
Five-foot-eleven Kamiko Williams from Clarksville, Tenn., has a versatile and at times explosive game. The combo guard for the GA/Lina 76'ers can take over a game with the ball in her hands and become a one man bad dream for defenses. She has the ability to play both the point and the shooting guard positions and has already committed to taking those skills to Knoxville and the University of Tennessee. The left hander's attack is aggressive and she's just as good in transition as she is in the half court. She can get all the way to the rim or pull up with the short jumper when the defense rotates. There are times that she will disappear on the floor and such a talented player can't afford to take plays off. She has too much to offer.
Kristen Grant doesn't have the name recognition of a few of her DFW teammates but her contributions do not go unnoticed. For an underclassman she has plenty of strength at either guard position and defensively she has the potential to be a force. She has the lateral quickness to keep up with most guards and the physical strength to hold her position if she beats the ball to the spot. As the Arlington, Texas, product grows and becomes more confident offensively she will need to be more assertive as those same attributes that make her such a force defensively could also make her a big factor offensively. She handles the ball well enough to utilize her athleticism. She could very well be one of the overlooked surprises in the class from the loaded state of Texas.
Cal Swish guard Kelsey Harris from Brea, Calif., showed why she is so highly regarded in her state. She supplied a huge spark for the Swish when defenses were designed to take away the team's primary offensive weapon, Christina Marinacci. Harris showed deadly three-point shooting accuracy and the confidence to pull the trigger when given even the slightest big of space. Her quick release allowed her to score 18 first half points in one game. She knew she was hot, sprinted the floor in transition, and spotted up early before the defense could find her. The 5-10 Brea High School star does more than shoot the ball, she has a strong fundamental base and is a very good passer. Both her high school and her club team run plenty of offensive sets and she excels in that environment. Her athleticism is adequate but proving she can stay in front of the elite players at her position may hang out there a bit. People questioned that about another Brea star in years past, Jeannette Pohlen, and she proved that there is more to defending than raw quickness.
When talking about the 2010 class Illinois Hustle coach Derril Kipp said that Trisha Liston, his 6-1 guard from River Forest, Ill., "may well be the best in the state". Her play in Augusta and throughout the summer makes that a tough point to argue with. A bigger, solid guard, she plays in the mold of WNBA star Katie Smith. While not as explosive as Smith, she's aggressive in attacking the hoop and has the ability to spot up and knock down the 3. Her size and strength allow her to mix it up in the paint and finish in traffic. Teammates were also on the receiving end of a few sharp passes as she forced defenses to rotate on her penetration. Defensive foot speed may be the biggest question mark at the next level, but if she shows the same aggressiveness that she exhibits on the offensive end, she'll get the job done.
Suriya McGuirelost her back court mate, Shakila Boler, due to a knee injury which left nearly all the ballhanding duties to the Minneapolis native. McGuire is incredibly quick both laterally and going at the defender. She has one of the quickest first steps and she is incredibly shifty with the ball as well. Keeping pressure on her is almost impossible because she can go by most defenders. She showcased her breakdown ability in the half court as well as the ability to push the ball. As the primary point guard she needs to learn to use those tools to set her teammates up more consistently as she didn't create as many shots for others as she did for herself. Defensively she has the ability to harass anyone. She has to get a little stronger and really want to be a lockdown defender at the college level.
Khaalidah Miller, a 5-9 guard from Mableton, Ga., fits the definition of most college coaches when they say they are looking for a scoring guard. The Georgia Metros star can put points on the board and can do it in a variety of ways. Quick and athletic, she can create off the dribble and can pull up on the drive with a deadly pull up. Miller slashes through defenses time and again but also has a good look on the perimeter. Her lean build will fill out as she matures and will create even further headaches for defenders as she adds more strength. There are lots of tools and potential in place and the college recruiters are already lining up.
Six-foot-three Haley Peters of Shrewsbury, N.J., and the Philadelphia Belles has a variety of weapons to call on whenever she steps on the floor. Good size combined with no fear of mixing it up inside give her a good start, but add to that the fact that she is tremendously active on the floor and she's a tough match up. Add to that still the ability to put it on the floor and good range on her perimeter shot and you've got talented and versatile forward. Peters is one of those players who can be used many different ways depending on the line up she's on the floor with. She'll need to be stronger down the road for the college ranks, but right now it's not a factor as she's tough to catch to put a body on.
Sage Romberg, a 6-1 wing from Mckinleyville, Calif., displayed a lot of the things college recruiters are looking for in perimeter players for the future. With her good size and fluid athleticism she was effective against both smaller guards and bigger wings. She runs the floor well and was very active without the ball offensively. A smart player, she made good decisions and was very fundamental when she did have the ball and worked well with her Cal Storm teammates. Her lean build hurt her defensively at times but shouldn't be a problem as age and strength progress.
Sarah Hartwell is part of a dynamic young duo for the Spokane Stars. The 5-10 combo guard from Tacoma, Wash., played the role of lock-down defender and she did a great job in that role. The Bellermine Prep star is one of the few you can see that really loves playing defense and has a passion for it. Offensively she is terrific out in transition where her speed and agility really show. She handles the ball well enough to play either guard spot and her confidence will continue to grow as she adds strength.
Jordan Loera from Moses Lake, Wash., played great for the Spokane Stars. The 5-8 point guard has nice change of direction moves and the ability to attack off the dribble and she complements that with range out the three-point range. Her shot was dialed in during the two big pool play victories that nearly got her team into bracket play. Getting stronger and getting more consistent shooting off the dribble is the next evolution for this promising young point guard.

With Doncaster-Sheffield airport set to open in 2005, canny Yorkshire eyes are smiling at the prospect. Lynne Greenwood reports
Robbing the rich to give to the poor is how the legendary outlaw Robin Hood found fame. His acknowledged stomping ground is Nottinghamshire – it even says so as you enter the county on the A1. But now both rich and poor in the neighbouring county of South Yorkshire believe that they are in line for a bounty from the man in Lincoln green.
The overwhelming opinion - from homeowners, estate agents, local councils and, of course, the developers - is that the new Robin Hood Doncaster-Sheffield airport, due to open next spring, will increase demand for all sorts of houses and thus inevitably push up prices.
Some people have already begun booking flights for next year's summer holidays from the new airport, formerly RAF Finningley, near Doncaster. Others in the area are calculating the cash gains it could bring. There are still some Nimbys, of course, but they are far outnumbered by the Imbys – In My Back Yard, please.
Maintenance worker Malcolm Haynes relocated to South Yorkshire five years ago and now plans to move from his six-bedroom house in Balby, six miles from Finningley, to a village closer to the airport.
He is already assured of a good profit: he paid£21,000 for a three-bedroom, terrace house five years ago and £25,000 for the adjoining property a year ago; he then spent £5,000 converting them into one large house, making a total outlay of £51,000. Today the house is on the market at £180,000.
Now he, his wife Heather and their three children are househunting in the former mining village of Rossington, less than three miles from the airport, because he expects an even better return on a property closer to Robin Hood. "The airport is a big factor in our decision to move," says Malcolm. "We are looking for a house with at least four bedrooms and a decent garden. I think it will increase in value even more than our present house."
Many of the new jobs on offer at the airport will demand specific, specialised skills. "That means lots of people will be moving in from outside the area, looking for property," says Malcolm.
He is not alone in thinking that way. Another speculator, coy about being named, paid £249,000 for a farmhouse with two acres close to the runway 18 months ago - with one eye on airport-related appreciation. "I had an idea I could offer bed and breakfast, or car parking, but I will wait and see. I think it will take 10 years to become really established, when I might be sitting on a million-pound house."
In fact, agents are already advertising what they claim is the first £1 million house in the area - the newly-renovated 18th- and 19th-century Hirst Priory, set in 15 acres at Crowle. They stress its proximity to Doncaster "and the exciting, approved Finningley Airport approximately 14 miles distant".
Even closer is the market town of Bawtry, which, along with nearby villages, including Finningley itself, Auckley and Branton, has to date been the obvious choice of house-hunters at the top end of the market.
Ian Willows, partner with Drewery & Wheeldon estate agency, is bullish about the future. "I would expect both the rental sector and the £250,000-£300,000 section of the market to be boosted by those moving in to work at the airport," he says.
Import agent Stuart Smith and his wife Shirley are less keen - possibly because they have first-hand experience of life close to an airport. Before their move to the new King's Wood development at Bawtry two years ago, they lived at Richmond, close enough to Heathrow to count the planes waiting to land every few seconds.
"It may be selfish, but I'm not looking forward to the new airport," says Stuart, who comes from South Yorkshire but still works at Heathrow. "I think people should be wary."
With the airport intended to cater for two to three million passengers and 50,000 tons of freight each year, Stuart says that once it starts to grow, the traffic congestion and the noise will have a detrimental effect.
"I know it will create jobs, and may boost house prices, but there could be problems," he says.
A cautionary tale comes from Wiltshire, where a Grade II-listed, medieval farmstead with more than 200 acres of land has been on the market for a year and has seen its price reduced by 25 per cent. The reason? Two squadrons of Hercules military aircraft are based next door at RAF Lyneham and the runway stretches alongside the estate.

Sold Out $18.49
Bodegas Y Vinedos O. Fournier Centauri Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, South America
Winemaker's Notes
The Sauvignon Blanc has exceptional acidity, aromas and alcohol.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "When O. Fournier tackles a new project, such as Sauvignon Blanc from Leyda, it doesn't mess around. This is an excellent example of Chilean SB with green fruit, citrus and a light touch of capsicum. It's a serious wine that challenges with its peppery crispness offset by grapefruit and green melon. Very nice mouthfeel; shows itself in a couple of waves. "
International Wine Cellar - "Bright gold. Wild, highly expressive bouquet evokes passion fruit, melon, nectarine and lemon gelato, along with suggestions of candied ginger and brioche. Exotic and deeply pitched, offering energetic pit and tropical fruit flavors and a touch of smokiness. Nicely combines richness and vivacity and finishes with outstanding length and lingering spiciness."
Bodegas Y Vinedos O. Fournier Winery
The O. Fournier Group was founded in 2000. Their main objective is to become an international group focused on high-quality wines. Their plan is to produce approximately 1.5 million bottles in different regions: Argentina, Chile, Ribera del Duero, Rioja and Douro (Portugal). To date, the group owns estates in Mendoza and Ribera del Duero. In total, the Group owns over 435 hectares of land of which 16 hectares are planted with vineyards of up to 57 years of age.
In 2007, after a three-year search for the best vineyards and terroirs in Chile, the O. Fournier Group commenced its winemaking practices. In Chile, O. Fournier has selected the most exciting areas to develop vineyards and produce wines. The group has acquired properties in Lo Abarca (San Antonio Valley) and Loncomilla (Maule Valley).

About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south – also why the country has remained phylloxera free. Quite a few wineries in Chile were founded by large French wine companies. Seeing the potential of the country, vineyards were bought and planted by these French folks and the results tell of a smart investment. Some of these wineries include: Los Vascos, Casa Lapostolle and Cousino Macul. And while the inspiration may have been French, but the wines here are quite Chilean.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

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 & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

The natural illustrations by Ridgefield resident Barbara AW Wright blur the line between art and science. She showcases detailed views of flora and fauna through watercolor, ink, colored pencil and graphite.
In college, Wright, 66, found a way to combine her long-held fascinations with art and science by majoring in cartography at Bellevue College. She worked in the field for 10 years before turning to education, becoming a math teacher in the Seattle area. While teaching, she continued her passion for art and science through a University of Washington certificate program on scientific illustration.
"I retired a year ago, and now devote all my time to illustrations," she said. She and her husband decided to move to Ridgefield after visiting the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.
Wright's process combines a scientific eye for detail with an artist's sense of composition. "I pick specimens, skulls, shells, and plants that appeal to me artistically," she said. Conveying science education through art has always been important to Wright. Many of her illustrations include companion texts that detail scientific facts about her subjects.
She hopes her art show at the Alcove Gallery will inspire visitors to look at the nature around them in a new way.
Barbara AW Wright's exhibit, "Nature's Unique Handiwork," will be on display throughout the month of November from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays at the Alcove Art Gallery, 328 Pioneer St., Ridgefield.

Woodland writer spins tale of youthful misadventure
When enough time passes, even the most embarrassing memory can make a stellar story.
With a sign in her office that reads, "Bad decisions make good stories," Woodland's Pat Nelson put that theory to the test with an essay in the "Not Your Mother's Book" series. It's her second for Publishing Syndicate, owned by a California couple who co-wrote many anthologies in the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" collection.
Nelson's story, featured in "Not Your Mother's Book … On Being a Stupid Kid," chronicles her first misadventure with alcohol as a 14-year-old. In "When you Gotta Go," many swigs from a pint of vodka led to her and a friend crawling on the roof when nature called. They worried about alerting the adults by venturing downstairs.
Publishing Syndicate CEO Dahlynn McKowen said Nelson's writing style fits the series well: funny with an edge. Based on her work, Nelson has contracted to co-create three books for the company.
"The thing that I'm most proud of is somebody else likes them besides me," Nelson said.
While she is expecting to receive royalties, likely between $50 and $100 a story, and more to help implement new books, Nelson said her family's wholesale business still pays a bulk of the bills.
"I'm 65, so to me, this is a great time for a new career," Nelson said. "This is something that I've wanted to do for so long."

Monday 25 May
Springwatch 2015
BBC Two, 8.00pm
This week's prime-time programming is dominated by two week-long annual events. Over on ITV, it's the live semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent. Here on BBC Two, it's a different kind of variety show: British Wildlife's Got Talent, if you will.
Presenting trio Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Martin Hughes-Games chart the fortunes of British wildlife during the changing of the season, this time from their base at the RSPB's vast, stunning Minsmere reserve on the Suffolk coast – one of Europe's best nature reserves, in one of the wildest parts of the country. It's home to rare breeds such as marsh harriers, avocets and bitterns, as well as old favourites like otters, woodpeckers and red deer. GPS trackers have also been fitted to three families of badgers, to follow their movements and reveal their impact on other local creatures.
However, the action is not restricted to Suffolk. Roving reporter Iolo Williams sends daily updates as he journeys from John O'Groats to the Shetlands – catching up with puffins, eagles, seals and killer whales en route. There are urban nesting sites in Bristol, reports on why mosquitoes prefer biting some people to others and the impact of city lights on our blackbirds. Last but by no means least, Springwatch has been granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the wildlife story of the year: the beaver's return to the English countryside after 800 years. MH
Britain's Got Talent
ITV, 7.30pm
In the first live semi-final, nine of the 45 remaining contenders will showcase the best of their talents to impress viewers and judges (they can still be buzzed off by Simon and co if things go wrong) in the hope of winning a place in this weekend's final. At 9.30pm, Ant and Dec announce the public's favourite act, and the judges choose their favourite of the two runners up. The show continues all week. SC
Damned Designs: Don't Demolish My Home

Churchill: When Britain Said No
BBC Two, 9.00pm
Mere weeks after VE Day, a general election had Winston Churchill fighting yet again – to hold onto his position as Prime Minister. In a shocking and overwhelming defeat, Britain's voters ushered in Clement Attlee and Labour. Here, historians such as Max Hastings and Anthony Beevor discuss Churchill's legacy, and why the electorate turned on its great wartime leader. SC

BBC Four, from 9.00pm
Three back-to-back episodes of the BBC's themed, archive-plundering music show, starting with One-Hit Wonders, then moving on to Country before rounding off the evening with hits and rarities as performed by the peerless Kate Bush. This almost certainly makes BBC Four the only channel tonight where you're likely to see Peter Sarstedt, Garth Brooks and Michael Aspel (introducing La Bush) in quick succession. GT
Game of Thrones
Sky Atlantic, 9.00pm
The stars are aligning to create more unlikely alliances and bring conflict closer – not least for Jon Snow (Kit Harington), for whom a reckoning looms.

Joan of Arc: God's Warrior
BBC Two, 9.00pm
From Carl Theodor Dreyer and George Bernard Shaw to Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Leonard Cohen, the Maid of Orleans has inspired some terrific works of art (as well as some truly terrible old guff, headed up by Luc Besson's flop film). Joan of Arc remains a person of fascination today, and medievalist Dr Helen Castor here relates her story, from turbulent childhood to religious epiphany to extraordinary feats on the battlefield to her eventual execution for heresy. It's a straightforward biography of an extraordinary woman, all the better for concentrating on the human being over the icon. Castor picks the details on which to focus: the only contemporary picture of Joan is little more than a doodle, fully reflecting medieval attitudes to women, while her account of the psychological duel between Joan and the pro-English inquisitor, Pierre Cauchon, is a gripping tale of courtroom drama to stand alongside any you might see on television.
The reconstructions are on the cheap side (a flashing blade, a notched arrow), but this at least allows more time for indulgent pans over the French countryside in glorious sunshine, all to the soundtrack of transcendent choral music. It's also a pity that Castor's intriguing introductory musings over Joan being co-opted by left and right, Protestants and Catholics, reformers and traditionalists, are left largely unexamined. But these are minor criticisms of an otherwise-engaging, lucid piece of narrative history. GT
Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It
Channel 4, 8.00pm
Allsopp and Spencer come to the rescue of a couple in a Northamptonshire village. After just two years the Renards are struggling with space in their two-bed semi: with two dogs and a toddler to contain, should they stay or should they go? GT
No Offence
Channel 4, 9.00pm
Paul Abbott's cop comedy-drama continues to juggle a case-of-the-week (the discovery of a thriving black market in kidneys) with a series-long investigation (a breakthrough in the hunt for a serial killer), displaying the same skill with which it balances laughs and pathos. GT
Festivals, Sex & Suspicious Parents
BBC Three, 9.00pm
There are many reasons to mourn the imminent passing of BBC Three to the digital afterlife. This series – a second, would you believe? – is not one of them, but passes the time idly enough in a vicarious "there but for the grace of God" sort of way, as teenagers run wild at a music festival while, unbeknown to them, their mother and father look on. GT
Impossible Engineering
Yesterday, 9.00pm
A variation on the long-running documentary series Megastructures, Impossible Engineering depicts examples that are anything but – although "Unlikely Engineering" probably wouldn't have the same ring. The six-part series begins a brief history of aircraft carriers culminating in HMS Queen Elizabeth, the largest aircraft carrier in the history of the Royal Navy. It has the usual bombastic soundtrack and hyperactive presentation, but certainly doesn't want for detail. GT
Sky Arts 1, 10.00pm
A series which has at once sprawled and yet kept its focus tight, this Nineties-set drama of Italian corruption comes to a close tonight with the judicial investigation set to claim a number of noteworthy scalps. A second series is reportedly in the works. GT
Later Live: with Jools Holland
BBC Two, 10.00pm
The final episode of the music show brings together pomp rockers Muse, indie punks Sleater-Kinney, and the electro-pop visionary Giorgio Moroder, the man behind such deathless futurist classics as I Feel Love and Together in Electric Dreams. GT
Gary Lineker on the Road to FA Cup Glory

The BBC has certainly made the most of regaining broadcasting rights for the FA Cup, airing highlights from classic matches on weekend and now, with this one-off, dispatching the man who lifted it in 1991 with Spurs to talk to those whose careers were, transformed by the competition. Ian Wright, Roberto Martinez and Fabrice Muamba are among those contributing. GT

Wednesday 27 May
(BBC/Happy Tramp/Des Willie)
BBC One, 10.45pm; NI, 11.45pm; Wales, 11.10pm
Award-winning undercover reporter Mazher Mahmood, aka the "Fake Sheikh", became notorious during his 20 years on News of the World for exposing celebrity scandals, sports corruption and politicians on the take. He might currently be suspended pending investigations for perjury and misconduct, but still seems to have inspired this new sitcom. And, like a comic twist on BBC stablemate Death in Paradise, it's set on a sun-soaked island that's a holiday for the eyes.
Due to his cover being blown by a corrupt editor, motor-mouthed charmer and master of disguise Woody (Kayvan Novak, of Fonejacker and Four Lions fame) is forced to go on the run from the security services after discovering a plot that goes right to the heart of the British Establishment – as these plots invariably do.
He seeks refuge with his former Fleet Street mentor Brutus (Bradley Walsh), now a grizzled expat running a bar in Spain. At first, Brutus is less than thrilled to see his troublemaking protégé – well, Woody did shoot him with a crossbow at their last encounter – but soon realises he can profit by putting Woody to work on local investigations. First up, he helps glamorous gold-digger Melody (Emma Pierson) find her pension fraudster husband's hidden millions. Cue a fast-talking, fast-moving, knockabout caper involving a talking parrot, a fluffy white rabbit, a peckish vulture, a kidnap plot and guest star Jack Dee as a vengeful vet. MH
Our World: Kidnapped for a Decade
BBC Four, 8.30pm
"I've been missing for 10 years, and I'm here." First shown on the BBC News Channel, this documentary opens with the remarkable phone call that, in 2013, revealed the whereabouts of three Cleveland girls – now women – long presumed dead. Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight had in fact been abducted by bus driver Ariel Castro and imprisoned. Kirsty Wark talks to Berry and DeJesus about their years of confinement and abuse.

Benefits Britain: Me & My 14 Kids
Channel 5, 9.00pm
The second of a two-part special which focuses on a couple who provide for their 14 children solely by claiming benefits. It's grimly fascinating, but clearly designed to make viewers froth at the mouth. NV
The Affair
Sky Atlantic, 9.00pm
The nuanced, superbly executed drama continues as Noah (Dominic West) and Alison (Ruth Wilson) go on a day trip together that brings them closer as they wrestle with desire and conscience. The chemistry between the leads is of Body Heat proportions, while the tricksy structure of conflicting memory and unreliable narrators never overwhelms the human drama. GT
Modern Times: Secret Life of Cleaners
BBC Two, 9.30pm
Although over six million people in the UK employ cleaners, it's likely that a much smaller number actually know what their cleaners really think and feel about their jobs. Many are immigrants who are struggling to make a life in Britain and in the latest episode of this offbeat documentary strand, we find out how a group of them really feel towards their bosses as we gain an intriguing glimpse into their lives.

The Job Centre
Channel 4, 10.00pm
Recruitment is a perilous line of business as the staff of Candelisa People, a "bespoke" agency in Bradford, know all too well. In this week's episode of the fly-on-the-wall series, the team are in a crisis as four new temporary employees they've placed fail to turn up to work, putting Candelisa's relationship with the employers on shaky ground.

Inside Jaguar: Making a Million Pound Car
Channel 4, 9.00pm
Top Gear may be parked in the garage awaiting a makeover, but tonight's documentary has much to offer the car crazy in the interim. Luxury British car brand Jaguar (Indian owned since 2008) is creating six new versions of its Lightweight E-Type racing car. It was a project started in 1963, when, of 18 planned, only 12 were made – which now sell for up to £5 million each.
Since last year the remaining six were being painstakingly handcrafted by specially trained engineers at Jaguar's Coventry-based Heritage workshop. It is such big news for petrolheads that presenter Mark Evans heads there to watch the action tonight, observing craftsmen as they sew leather seats and press metal bonnets – their oft-repeated mantra "attention to detail" means that scratches barely visible to the naked eye cause heads to shake in dismay. Because only a half dozen will be produced at a price of about £1.2 million each, Jaguar has chosen the new Lightweights' owners carefully from among the super-rich, focusing on those who will use, rather than display, the new creations.
There are rumblings from the classic car community, however. Lord March states on camera that he will refuse entry to the Lightweight replicas, as he calls them, to his Goodwood races. It's not the sort of publicity Jaguar hoped for, but buyers remain enthusiastic. This is not just a documentary for car obsessives. It's a fascinating insight into a politically sensitive world. VP
Born Naughty?
Channel 4, 8.00pm
Hats off to this documentary series for not sensationalising the stories of the badly behaved children featured. One of tonight's cases is extreme – eight-year-old Charlie is prone to fits of rage that have seen him attempt to assault his mother with a knife. She is understandably desperate for help from doctors Ravi Jayaram and Dawn Harper. VP
Deep-Sea Super Predator
Channel 5, 8.00pm
Anyone who's watched Jaws knows that a great white is a fearsome predator. That's why the death of a healthy three-metre great white shark in the Southern Ocean 12 years ago proved such a puzzle when the tag she wore for a scientific study washed up on the Australian coast. Tonight's engaging documentary does some sleuthing to solve this eerie mystery of the deep. VP
Britain's Secret Terror Deals
BBC One, 9.00pm
British security forces have been accused of involvement in dozens of murders during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. In this edition of Panorama, reporter Darragh MacIntyre meets families still fighting for justice and confronts some believed to have been involved. VP
The Game
BBC Two, 9.00pm
The penultimate episode of this slow-paced spy thriller sees Wendy (Chloe Pirrie) undertake her first undercover operation to uncover a bomb-making plot. The rest of counterespionage committee The Fray focus on catching the mole within MI5, and while the characters remain maddeningly ambiguous so as not to give away the twist, the tone grows pleasingly ominous.

Alex Polizzi arrives at La Casa Hotel near Malaga in Spain to advise a pair of British hotelier sisters on how to reverse the dip in guests caused by Spain's economic crash and a general drop in visitors. VP
Sky1, 9.00pm
The fizz went out of Glee some seasons back, so it's as well that this sixth season is its last, and something of a return to form for a show that once juggled soppy and snarky with enviable skill. It begins with Rachel (Lea Michele), humiliated after her TV show flops, returning to McKinley to recommence battle with nemesis Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch). GT
Jane Bown: Looking for Light
Sky Arts 1, 9.00pm
Jane Bown, who died last year, was a quite brilliant photographer whose portraits (including John Lennon, Margaret Thatcher and Samuel Beckett) remain definitive. Luke Dodd and Michael Whyte's documentary, released shortly before Bown's death, talks to fellow photographers and fans including Rankin and Don McCullin; it also includes an interview with The Observer lifer herself, exploring how her personal history informed her professional approach.

Britain's Greatest Generation
BBC Two, 9.00pm
The concluding part of the series celebrating Britons who lived though the Second World War follows the lives of former servicemen and women through the postwar years of rationing and reconstruction. Among the many memorable contributors are a number for whom surviving the maelstrom of war brought a determination to fight all the harder to make the world a fairer and better place in peacetime.
The actor Earl Cameron is one such figure, who set his sights on breaking down the colour bar in the film industry. Pioneering gay rights activist George Montague recalls his early efforts to counter social prejudice, and the fight to decriminalise homosexuality. Campaigner Brian Rix explains how the plight of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who suffered severe physical and psychological injury in the war encouraged a new focus on disability issues. Novelist Diana Athill talks about how the hardships and restrictions of the postwar period contributed to a revolution in social attitudes in the Sixties, and how she flouted the taboo on mixed-race relationships at that time.
For many, the community spirit and "we're all in it together" attitudes of wartime engendered a new sense of social responsibility. Gladys Parry, for instance, tells of her determination to serve as a local magistrate in Manchester, and indefatigable Jarrow marathon-runner Jim Purcell explains why even now, in his nineties, he continues to run to raise money for local charities.

Nina Simone & Me with Laura Mvula
BBC Four, 7.30pm
Singer-songwriter Laura Mvula pays tribute to the ornery genius of Dr Simone (as she later preferred to be addressed) with this profile, worth watching for the archive footage and reminiscences from sideman Al Schackman.

Tonight's outing of this pleasant cookery programme sees the Bake Off judge use her herb garden for food inspiration. Demonstrating her favourite summer salad, Berry prepares a colourful watermelon, feta and fresh mint feast, before rustling up her grandchildren's favourite comfort dish – tomato and herb meatballs. She also takes a trip to south London's trendy seasonal restaurant The Dairy, where she is shown new ways in which to use herbs. NV

Lifelong Queen obsessive and music journalist Kate Mossman relates "the secret history of popular music" – the strange, symbiotic and sometimes fractious relationship between fans and their idols, from Beatlemaniacs and Mods to New Romantics and Directioners. These are tricky phenomena to rationalise, so Mossman mostly doesn't attempt to, instead settling for another Friday night of amiable anecdotage, BBC Four-style. Rick Wakeman, Nicky Wire and Alan Johnson MP contribute. GT

The obverse of O-113 has two points of star 8 extremely close to the cap and actually appearing to touch. That position is closer than any other 1823 variety, and an instant identifier for this extremely rare variety. Only 10 or 11 examples exist in various circulated grades up to XF45, the finest known. This piece has light gray surfaces that are beginning to naturally retone, with deeper color around the peripheral devices. Both sides have scattered marks consistent with the grade, and the reverse has a tiny rim bump over ER of AMERICA.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Haven't tried it myself yet, but I might run an experiment for it on Tribble.
it only gives skittles to the actual players. keep in mind that these are everlasting skittles (well, not that it makes a difference anymore, dumb 30 second timer) that you can eat forever.
also, I don't think that boffs have the skittle supply.

The air in the Buick is stifling as my grandmother cruises past rolling hills of dried grass while fighter jets from the El Toro Marine Base scream overhead.
Their roar reverberates through the car. But the only thing I can think of is that we're passing the one place I hoped Grandma would stop – the newly opened Lion Country Safari.
The name alone promises adventure. And a sign guarantees it: "No Trespassing. Violators Will Be Eaten!"
But a small cooler on the seat between us means there is no stopping for wild animals on this day.
It's 1971 and with her husband, my grandfather, dead five years, Viola Seuss Whiting is committed to picking up where Grandpa left off.
Nearly every day, my father's mother roams the county in her Buick as a Red Cross volunteer delivering blood.
The only other thing certain about Grandma driving the Buick is that the air conditioner is never on.
Such is the way of life for this woman who was a mom during the Great Depression, and came of age when women didn't have the same rights as men.
Like many women of her era, she was a woman in conflict with her times.
• • •
To say Mother's Day is a special day seems redundant. Sorry, dads. But Mom's Day rules.
Mother's Day was named first, several years before Father's Day. It outsells everything from cards to flowers. And without a reservation, don't even think about going to a restaurant.
But there was a time when moms didn't rule, when women were second class citizens and their glass ceiling was the secretarial pool.
My grandmother was born in 1900. When President Woodrow Wilson named Mother's Day as an official national holiday, the future Mrs. Whiting was 14 years old.
Before she died in 1988 after living in then Leisure World for two decades, Grandma enjoyed her share of Mother's Days. But she also harbored a deep bitterness about the limitations she faced because of her gender.

HOUSTON -- (Feb. 9, 2012) Aging takes its toll on sex appeal and now an international team of researchers led by Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Michigan find that in fruit flies, at least, it even diminishes the come-hither effect of the chemicals of love pheromones.
"This is new because we have direct evidence that the pheromones produced at these different ages affect sexual attractiveness differently," said Tsung-Han Kuo, a graduate student in the department of molecular and human genetics and the Huffington Center on Aging at BCM. Kuo is first author of the report that appears online in the Journal of Experimental Biology.
Pheromones are chemicals produced by an organism to communicate or attract another. In this case, Drosophila melanogaster or fruit flies produce chemicals called cuticular hydrocarbons. Special mass spectrometry studies that looked in detail at the composition and level of production of these hydrocarbons showed that they differed between the sexes, but more important, they changed with age.
"In fact, cuticular hydrocarbon production may be an indicator of the insect's health and fertility," said Kuo. Reproduction is one of the major activities of the short-lived insects, and they enhance the possibility of passing on their genes through the production of these pheromones. Unfortunately, the alluring effect of the chemicals wanes with age.
"The results were remarkably consistent across different strains of flies," said Dr. Scott Pletcher, now of the University of Michigan, and Kuo's initial mentor at BCM.

Out To Lunch: Tinsel Town
The film business continues to grow so quickly that the term "Hollywood South" is becoming less of a quaint marketing moniker and more literally true with every movie that shoots here. Part of the reason for the growth is financial — state tax credits — and the other part is the crew and facilities now available here.
This week on Out to Lunch, Peter Ricchiuti explores both these areas with two of the city's leaders in film financing and film production: Susan Brennan, founder and CEO of Second Line Stages, and Lenny Alsfeld, CEO of FBT Investments and its Film and Entertainment division.
