NCAA Football Betting: Top 25 College Football Matchups for Week 11
- Updated: November 10, 2011
Here at Bang the Book, we have all of the top matchups of the 2011 NCAA football betting campaign covered! Today, we're taking a look at the Top 25 matchups for Week 11!
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (5-4 SU, 7-2 ATS) @ #1 LSU Tigers (9-0 SU, 7-2 ATS)
Spread: LSU -41.5, Total: 48.5
Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA – Saturday, 7:00 ET

The Hilltoppers have had themselves their best season ever. They are 5-4 and on the verge of bowl eligibility, though barring a miracle they won't get a call come December unless they win the Sun Belt. That being said, this is the No. 1 team in the country, in their stadium, at night, where earthquakes have been known to register on the Richter Scale. That being said, asking the Bayou Bengals to come out and win this one by six touchdowns is steep, even if it is just a Sun Belt school in its originations of being an FBS program. After all, the hangover from last week's massive win over Alabama has to still be ringing in the ears and the eyes of everyone wearing gold and purple.
#6 Oregon Ducks (8-1 SU, 5-3-1 ATS) @ #2 Stanford Cardinal (9-0 SU, 9-0 ATS)
Spread: Stanford -3, Total: 68
Stanford Stadium, Palo Alto- CA – Saturday, 8:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
If LSU/Alabama was the "Game of the Century," this is probably the "Second Best Game of the Century." The ramifications are arguably more important. The winner is in the title hunt. The loser is out. The winner can count on, at worst, a trip to the Rose Bowl. The loser could conceivably still be left out of the BCS all together. The Ducks have won all but one game in this series since 2001, and they are the only team to have handed the Cardinal a loss in the last two seasons. Stanford has covered virtually every single spread since that point as well, including going 9-0 ATS this season. These teams are high flying, so expect to see a lot of scores on the board, and don't be shocked if when push comes to shove, we're talking about a whole boatload of guys that are eventually going to be stalwarts in the NFL. This should be as good of a game as the one last Saturday night was.
#3 Oklahoma State Cowboys (9-0 SU, 7-2 ATS) @ Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-4 SU, 5-4 ATS)
Spread: Oklahoma State -17, Total: 78.5
Jones AT&T Stadium, Lubbock, TX – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The pressure is building on the Red Raiders, as they are going to need to find one more win to make it to bowl eligibility in their last three games with a horrifyingly hard schedule. The Cowboys need three more wins, and they're in the National Championship Game. Theoretically, this should be a cakewalk, but there have to be two major concerns if you're a fan of the Pokes. The first is how the team struggled with Kansas State at home last week. That's right. That's the same Kansas State team that Oklahoma blew out in Manhattan. And it's also the same Oklahoma team that was beaten at home by none other than these Red Raiders. The Cowboys will score their points, but so too, will the Red Raiders. This could turn out to be a great, great game.
#4 Alabama Crimson Tide (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS) @ Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS)
Spread: Alabama -18, Total: 43
Davis Wade Stadium, Starkville, MS – Saturday, 7:45 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Don't think for one second that the Bulldogs are just going to lie down and become fodder for an angry Alabama team this week. Sure, the Tide have the best defense in America in all likelihood, and we don't think that they did anything to prove otherwise with that last week at home against LSU even though they lost the game. But is the offense really good enough to pour it on an MSU team that is a lot better than its 5-4 record suggests? This has the ability to be a close game. Last year's game might have finished a three TD win for Bama, but there was no one in Bryant Denny Stadium that was looking forward to this return game this year in Starkville. They might have good reason to be concerned.
#24 TCU Horned Frogs (7-2 SU, 4-5 ATS) @ #5 Boise State Broncos (8-0 SU, 4-4 ATS)
Spread: Boise State -15, Total: 58.5
Bronco Stadium, Boise, ID – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
There was a thought that TCU/Boise State might be one of the most important games of the season coming in, especially since the possibility was there for both teams to be undefeated and in line for BCS bowl bids. That being said, now with the Horned Frogs having not just one, but two losses, the only team playing for a big bowl bid is Boise State, and the end result is that this is the Mountain West Championship Game. Neither of these teams are losing again this season barring a miracle, so this is probably the last step between the boys from the Smurf Turf and the Sugar Bowl in all likelihood. TCU has been a team full of road warriors this year as well, so don't be shocked if this game turns out to be a lot closer than you'd think.
Tennessee Volunteers (4-5 SU, 3-4-2 ATS) @ #8 Arkansas Razorbacks (8-1 SU, 5-4 ATS)
Spread: Arkansas -14, Total: 54.5
Razorback Stadium, Fayetteville, AR – Saturday, 6:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The Hogs are sort of the team that is laying in the weeds this year. No one thinks that they stand a chance of making it to the BCS, and they might be right. But then again, with enough things happening in front of them, they might have a shot to play for the National Championship as well. Tennessee needs a win in this one to realistically probably have any shot of making a bowl game, but it's going to be tough. The Vols have basically fallen apart since the schedule got difficult and QB Tyler Bray ended up missing a slew of games. Arkansas regained its mojo last week. Don't be surprised if it continues that roll this week at home, where it has played some awesome football at times this season.
#9 Virginia Tech Yellow Jackets (8-1 SU, 2-7 ATS) @ #19 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-2 SU, 5-3-1 ATS)
Spread: Virginia Tech -1, Total: 50
Bobby Dodd Stadium, Atlanta, GA – Thursday, 8:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
It's not quite the ACC Coastal Division title game, but it's pretty darn close. As long as the Hokies find a way to take care of Virginia in a couple of weeks, the winner of this game will be in the ACC title game, likely to face Clemson. G-Tech's style of running the ball with the triple option is generally countered well by the speed of the V-Tech defense, but we have to say that the Hokies have not done a great job of putting teams that are down away this season. Now on the road, against a very tough opponent that legitimately might have one of the best 15 or so teams in the country, it's going to be for Head Coach Frank Beamer and company to survive. This is going to be a fantastic game that you don't want to miss on Thursday night.
Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-4 SU, 5-4 ATS) @ #10 Clemson Tigers (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS)
Spread: Clemson -16.5, Total: 60.5
Memorial Stadium, Clemson, SC – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The Tigers will go on to the ACC Championship Game and play for a bid in the BCS if they can win on Saturday against Wake Forest, but if they by some chance don't, it's going to be a wide open mess to determine who ends up representing the Atlantic Division in the league title game. Wake Forest has won some big games, but it just doesn't feel like a team that has done it against the best of the best quite yet, especially on the road. This is a club that still feels like it is a year away with QB Tanner Price calling the shots, and we fully expect to see the orange and purple balloons going up in Death Valley on Saturday to celebrate the team's second trip to the ACC title game.
#11 Houston Cougars (9-0 SU, 7-2 ATS) @ Tulane Green Wave (2-8 SU, 3-7 ATS)
Spread: Houston -34.5, Total: 76.5
Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, LA – Thursday, 8:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
If QB Case Keenum stays upright on Thursday night, the Cougars should have no trouble winning this game. The fact of the matter is that he has a great chance to throw for over 500 yards if the team wants to really run up the score, and there is a real chance that 70 points could easily be hit against a poor Tulane defense. The Green Wave are helpless and hapless on Thursday barring a miracle. The only question is whether the Cougs are going to threaten some ridiculous scoring record, yardage record, or other offensive records. This team is great on grass. We can't even imagine how ridiculous it'll look on turf.
#17 Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-2 SU, 3-6 ATS) @ #12 Penn State Nittany Lions (8-1 SU, 2-7 ATS)
Spread: Nebraska -3.5, Total: 43
Beaver Stadium, University Park, PA – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Needless to say, it is going to be a somber day in Happy Valley on Saturday. It's the final home game of the season, and it'll be the first time in over six decades that Joe Paterno had nothing to do with it. The team is clearly going to be shaken in some way over this sex scandal that has seen the university put in shambles. There are just so many question marks that we wouldn't even begin to know how to handicap this one. Here's what we do know. The Nittany Lions are two wins away from the Big Ten Championship Game, and they're the higher ranked team in this one. We also know that the Children of the Corn are going to have no sympathy about what happened in the locker room when they walk onto the field, and they are playing to keep their hopes at the Big Ten Championship alive as well. It'll certainly be an odd feeling day in Happy Valley, especially since the last time Nebraska was here, it was ranked No. 1 in the country and getting beaten by then a very, very proud Penn State program.
#13 Michigan State Spartans (7-2 SU, 5-4 ATS) @ Iowa Hawkeyes (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS)
Spread: Michigan State -3, Total: 47
Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
The lead in the Big Ten Legends Division has changed hands more times than Kim Kardashian has changed marital status in the last three months, and again, things can take a wild, wild twist on Saturday if Iowa can win this game. The Hawkeyes already pulled it off last week against Michigan, and this is basically the exact same spot against MSU. Of course, a Spartans win parlayed with a Nebraska loss, and we can basically pencil in the men in green in the first Big Ten Championship Game, and it would be a defeat that would knock Iowa out of the league title picture once and mercifully for all.
#14 Wisconsin Badgers (7-2 SU, 6-2-1 ATS) @ Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-7 SU, 4-5 ATS)
Spread: Wisconsin -27, Total: 63.5
TCF Financial Field, Minneapolis, MN – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Paul Bunyan's Axe hasn't left Madison since a wild 2003 game in which the Gophers won the game at home that ended with a field goal at the gun. Somehow, we don't think that the axe will need to get used to a new climate after this one either. We will say this about Minnesota: The team played hard last week on the road at Michigan State in a great narrow one touchdown loss. We also know that the Badgers have yet to win a game on the road this year. That all being said, there is still a clear class differential between these two teams, and this is the first road game that the Badgers have absolutely zero excuse whatsoever to lose.
Florida Gators (5-4 SU, 3-5-1 ATS) @ #15 South Carolina Gamecocks (7-2 SU, 4-5 ATS)
Spread: South Carolina -3.5, Total: 40.5
Williams Bryce Stadium, Columbia, SC – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Last year, the Gamecocks came down to Gainesville and won the SEC East title by taking down the Gators in the Swamp for the first win back in his old stomping grounds for Head Coach Steve Spurrier. He still only has two wins against UF since moving to South Carolina, and this is the first time that he is going to be favored to win a game in this series since his days on the other sideline. The truth of the matter is that the Gators really do have nothing to play for. They'll reach bowl eligibility next week against the Furman Paladins, and they're out of the SEC East title race. SC needs a win in this one and a loss somewhere along the way by Georgia to go to a second straight SEC Championship Game after never having appeared in the game before last season.
#25 Auburn Tigers (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS) @ #16 Georgia Bulldogs (7-2 SU, 6-3 ATS)
Spread: Georgia -13, Total: 53
Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Auburn knows that this year, it probably has very little hope of even a remotely solid bowl bid just because of how great the SEC West has been, and now it has to go on the road and take on legitimately the best team in the SEC East as well. Georgia is going to hope to get a win and some help from Florida to lock up the divisional crown and send it to the SEC Championship Game, where it will likely face LSU in the first weekend of December. The Dawgs have been as hot as could be, as they are winners of seven in a row and should be well on their way to at least a 9-2 record before taking on Georgia Tech in a few weeks. This is the game that will likely ensure Head Coach Mark Richt's safety for another season regardless of what else happens.
West Virginia Mountaineers (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS) @ #18 Cincinnati Bearcats (7-1 SU, 5-3 ATS)
Spread: Cincinnati -4, Total: 66
Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
This is as big of a game as you will see this year in the Big East in all likelihood, probably because it will either likely decide the conference crown and send the Bearcats to the BCS, or it will make it so that there isn't a team ranked in the Top 25 in this conference for the rest of the season. West Virginia has largely underachieved over the course of the last month, and if it doesn't come on the road and win this game, its hopes at the BCS are said and done with. Cincinnati will still control its own destiny even if it loses this game, but it would help dramatically to win and perhaps get some help from another Louisville loss somewhere along the way.
#20 Texas Longhorns (6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS) @ Missouri Tigers (4-5 SU, 5-4 ATS)
Spread: Texas -1.5, Total: 59
Faurot Field, Columbia, MO – Saturday, 12:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
This is probably a lot more important of a game than you realize. The Longhorns are not by any stretch of the imagination out of the BCS chase as an at large bid, especially if Oklahoma happens to slip somewhere else along the way and then lose Bedlam. It'll take winning out though, something that UT is definitely capable of doing. The Tigers are the best sub-.500 team in America without a shadow of a doubt, but the truth of the matter is that they need to find two wins in their final three games to qualify for a bowl game. This is a game that it really has to feel like it has to have to be relatively safe for the rest of the season.
#21 Michigan Wolverines (7-2 SU, 6-3 ATS) @ Illinois Fighting Illini (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS)
Spread: Pick 'Em, Total: 49.5
Memorial Stadium, Champaign, IL – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
Michigan is just 1-7 ATS in its last eight road games, and it was bitten in the backside by losing at Iowa last week. Now, the Wolverines almost certainly have to win out to make it to the Big Ten Championship Game and to have a shot at playing for the Rose Bowl. Illinois, believe it or not, is not totally out of the question in the Big Ten race either in spite of the fact that it has three conference losses. Penn State is in shambles mentally right now, and there's a good chance that it could lose out. Someone at that point, might win this conference with three losses. Never say never. At least for the winner of this game. The loser can probably pack it in and enjoy a warm weather location for an end of December bowl game.
Texas A&M Aggies (5-4 SU, 2-7 ATS) @ #22 Kansas State Wildcats (7-2 SU, 7-2 ATS)
Spread: Texas A&M -5, Total: 65.5
Bill Snyder Family Memorial Stadium, Manhattan, KS – Saturday, 3:30 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
All of a sudden, the buzzards at starting to swarm around Head Coach Mike Sherman again. This was what happened last year when the team went on its big time run to make it to the Cotton Bowl. This year, there just isn't enough time left to make such a run in all probability. Losing this game isn't the end of the world, as there is no way that this team won't qualify for a bowl game, but a 6-6 record and a loss in a bowl might not be enough to keep Sherman around for another year. The Wildcats are still basically playing on house money the way that we look at it, and the oddsmakers still don't believe, in spite of the fact that they hung as tough as anyone has this year in Stillwater, that they have a team that is worthy of being called one of the best in the Big XII.
UCF Knights (4-5 SU, 3-6 ATS) @ #23 Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS)
Spread: Southern Miss -9, Total: 52
MM Roberts Stadium, Hattiesburg, MS – Saturday, 8:00 ET
|Click Here For Handicapping Match-up Details
If not for the news at Penn State this week, we'd all be talking about the fact that UCF's athletic director, Keith Tribble was forced to resign on Wednesday and that there are a ton of basketball and football players up for recruiting violations at the university. At least the Nittany Lions are playing good ball. The Knights still do control their own destiny for the Conference USA title for a second straight year, but in all likelihood, they aren't making a bowl game instead. Southern Miss looks like a team on a mission, and it was able to come to Bright House Networks Stadium last year in Orlando and beat these very same Knights, who finished the year ranked in the Top 25 in the land. In fact, SMS has won three in a row and five out of six since these two have come together as C-USA reps.

BrightFocus-funded researchers' technique reduces loss of eye nerve cells
April 10, 2012
Source: Molecular Medicine
Photo courtesy of Jeff Gidday, Ph.D. Scientists have found a way in mice to prevent damage to the optic nerves that normally occurs in glaucoma. Using high-power micrographs like this one of the optic nerve in cross-section, they can quantify glaucoma damage to the axons of the retinal ganglion axons passing through the nerve. In this image, those axons are green, and the branches and nuclei of the astrocytes surrounding them are red and blue, respectively.
Findings: BrightFocus-funded researcher Jeffrey Gidday and co-investigators discovered that temporarily cutting off oxygen in a controlled fashion to "stress" the eyes of mice with glaucoma can prevent further optic nerve injury. This introduction of stress, called "preconditioning," led to a protective response known as "tolerance," which makes the nerve cells less vulnerable to future damage. Normally, the retinal ganglion cells that make up the optic nerve can die as the disease progresses, which may lead to blindness. Applying a little bit of stress at earlier stages of glaucoma seems to protect them from dying.
The article summarizing this research appeared in the March 2012 issue of the journal Molecular Medicine.
Significance: Gidday and colleagues believe that small episodes of stress to the eyes may actually protect against damage from glaucoma. These studies have only been done in animals, so more research is needed before it is known whether preconditioning could have a protective effect in humans. If so, then perhaps in the future after someone has been diagnosed with glaucoma, he or she could undergo a "stress" treatment with the goal of minimizing additional harm to the optic nerve. So far, the treatments for glaucoma only aim to reduce eye pressure. There are no treatments specifically designed to prevent further direct damage to the optic nerve cells. Currently, Dr. Gidday and colleagues are looking for genes that are turned on (or off) by applying stress. Those genes could be targets for future drugs.

Time for a cup of tea and a nice little break from sewing!
I feel very honoured to be given space to write about the vintage things I love, for such a lovely blog - thanks so much Jen!
|I collect tins!
the stories that objects would tell if they could speak…
And last but by no means least:
|My eBay china cabinet. I removed the red crosses stuck on the doors - ugh! - and lined it with wallpaper.
I also collect 1960s Carlton Ware bird dishes, though I don't think I'll be buying any more as they've got rather expensive recently. Plus, sometimes you can have just enough of a good thing...
|Carlton Ware bird dishes, Hornsea Pottery jars and vintage nature books
|Our Ercol kitchen table and chairs, with one of my favourite Heals fabrics as a tablecloth
|My Danish ladies!
The cabinet spent many years in my dad's garage, sat on blocks to keep it off the damp floor, stuffed to the gills with old cigar tins and Heinz babyfood jars full of screws, nails, rawlplugs and electrical bits and bobs. Since coming to me it has found a new life as a pantry in our kitchen, filled with vintage Kilner jars of spices and dry goods. Occasionally I toy with the idea of painting it, but I like it in its original scruffy state.
|modflowers cushions in dad's old suitcase
I especially love stylized 1960s and 70s floral prints. Its great that so many wonderful vintage fabrics emerge from attics, trunks and cupboards to be used and enjoyed again.
|Some of my vintage fabrics. The blue paisley print near the top of the left pile was once one of my grandma's dresses.

How amazing is Sharon's collection?
So many beautiful pieces.
I have some serious envy!
Many thanks to Sharon for this wonderful guest post.

Getting Started in the Wedding Industry: Part 2
Editor's note: This is a two-part series from award winning wedding photographer, Sam Stroud, who has been featured in various international publications. In this article, Sam is sharing advice on how he went from having 5 weddings in year one, to 88 weddings in year three. Read Part 1 of this series here.
The Industry is Not Your Friend
Some of you may read that and get an uneasy feeling. I am not saying, "Be the wedding photographer everyone hates." Networking is an important part of being successful down the road. Yes, there people in this business who will pretend to love you and will suck you dry of all your energy, creativity and well-being. (Side note: Steer clear of those people. But you knew that already.). Maybe what I should say here instead is—Pit yourself against this entire industry. YOU are the reason you will succeed. You are the reason your bride will love her images. You must become the central focus on what the entire experience hinges on. You have the greatest weapon in creating and generating business and success: YOU. And nobody in this industry can recreate that.
Forget About You
I just got don't telling you that YOU are the reason you will succeed. That's true. There are a million photographers in your town, and who you are is what will create the most success in your business. And now I am telling you to forget about yourself. Am I crazy? Yes. But that has little to do with this last point.
I believe the most important part about what I do each weekend is not creating a great image, making people laugh or capturing a beautiful day of slideshow-worthy quality. For me and for us as a business, it's about service. Each and every one of our Sam Stroud Photographers wants more than anything on that day to serve the bride and groom and elevate them above their own needs and sense of self. I think the allure of wedding photography, with so many different social mediums, is how quickly we can become known and admired by our peers. But self-service rarely lasts. In fact, from my own experience, people grow tired of it and, ultimately, brides see right through it.
Again, this isn't the end all, be all of advice giving. This has been what has worked for us over the last four years. Our true north, or "the why" is to create an unbelievable experience. Becoming a great and talented photographer, for me, is secondary. Knowing my equipment and honing my craft are paramount, of course. I must show up prepared, and have the right tools and knowledge. But more than anything, my focus is on the bride and groom. Not on me, but on service. I want to elevate them above myself on the biggest day of their life. We can create beautiful images, but we must define the rules of our own success and then play that game. It's the only way you will ever truly count it a win.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 1/10/13
The Jacksonville Jaguars fired head coach Mike Mularkey after one season, general manager David Caldwell announced Thursday. "I informed Mike today that he will not return as head coach of the Jaguars," Caldwell said. "I know Mike well and do not want anyone to misinterpret the rationale behind my decision. Mike is an excellent coach and I am sure he will succeed in his next stop in the NFL. However, I must do what I believe is best for the Jacksonville Jaguars and immediately explore every avenue possible to turn our football team around. For that to happen as seamlessly as we want, and as quickly as our fans deserve, I feel it is in everyone's best interests for an immediate and clean restart. Added owner Shad Khan: "Mike Mularkey is leaving our organization with my utmost respect. Mike gave the Jaguars everything he had on and off the field, and his efforts as our head coach will always be appreciated. Mike will land on his feet soon. Until then, I wish nothing but the best ...

When you're looking to spend a bit of one-on-one romantic time with your snugglemuffin or special-friend, you could splurge on a cruise around the Mediterranean or rent a private jet to Japan for lunch among the cherry blossoms; of course, not many people have that much money hidden between their couch cushions. Get the best of both worlds with a sushi platter for two and twelve oysters in the Mediterranean splendour of Vasilis for R79.99.
The combination of Japanese cuisine and Mediterranean ambience work together better than teenagers and dictionaries, creating an unusual and memorable lunch-time experience. Though The Wedge Shopping Centre is miles from a two-week cruise to the Hellenic Republic, the calming blues and whites of the Mediterranean theme provide all the ambience with none of the motion-sickness.
If chowing down on a plate of Moussaká and Loukoumi doesn't sound like a tasty way to while away your afternoon, you'll be glad to know that your lunch-time lunchables are more oriental than Byzantine. Twenty one pieces of sushi, combining prawn, tuna, line fish and salmon are the perfect platter for special friends to enjoy without having to surreptitiously steal from each other's plates. Though bits of salmon wrapped in rice might not seem as filling as say, steak, they always say that good things come in fun-sized packages. Though the platter is filling, it's important to ensure that you leave space for the world's romantic food of choice – twelve oysters. Even if you're the type that believes oysters shouldn't be eaten in months that don't end in 'r', Vasilis' oysters are fresh and delicious no matter what time of year it is.
Enjoy the cultural union inside the themed restaurant or venture outside onto the extensive patio and dine al fresco with elevated views of the city at your elbow. If you're looking for a Dry Chenin Blanc or a Pinot Grigio to compliment your cuisine, choose from a varied list of local wines or the imported stuff for the more discerning diner.
Better than a two weeks on the waves or finding cherry blossoms in your soup, Vasili provides the perfect location for a romantic lunch and a splash of international flavour.
Cultural-fusion Fact: A 1985 opinion-poll in FOODIRIFIC Magazine revealed that that the most popular dish in New Mexico is lamp-shade shaped tortillas stuffed with Greek Keftethes – fried meatballs with oregano and mint.

NFL Game Summary - San Francisco at Philadelphia
(Sunday, December 20th)
Final Score: Philadelphia 27, San Francisco 13
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Donovan McNabb threw for 306 yards and a score, and Philadelphia forced four first-half turnovers to beat the 49ers, 27-13, and clinch a playoff berth -- the Eagles' eighth in the last 10 years.
McNabb completed 21-of-36 passes and was also picked off twice for the Eagles (10-4), who have won five straight games and have posted double-digit wins in seven contests this season. McNabb also had a rushing touchdown.
DeSean Jackson was again an offensive catalyst, catching six passes for 140 yards and a score. Jackson now has 1,087 yards on the season to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his brief two-year career. LeSean McCoy added 48 yards and a score on the ground, while Brent Celek had four catches for 73 yards in the victory.
"It's always good to clinch a spot early, but we're still going to keep our foot on the pedal," McNabb said. "I think rightfully so, because our first goal was obviously to put ourselves in position to get a bye and to win the NFC East, and we have a chance of doing that."
Frank Gore became the first running back to run for over 100 yards against the Eagles in 24 games, gaining 101 yards on 15 carries for the 49ers (6-8), who were officially eliminated from playoff contention with the loss.
Alex Smith threw for 177 yards and a touchdown on 20-of-37 throws but was intercepted three times -- all in the first half. Josh Morgan caught seven passes for 61 yards and a score in defeat.
"He played poorly," 49ers coach Mike Singletary said of Smith. "I think he knows that. He's capable of playing better than that. I don't have any questions about him going forward. Sometimes you try to make things happen when they're not happening and you force it."
This game was originally scheduled for a 1 p.m. (et) start, but a snowstorm that brought nearly two feet of snow pushed it back to 4:15 p.m. The Ravens- Bears game also underwent the same time change after Baltimore received a substantial amount of snow over the weekend.
Down 17 at halftime, the 49ers made a third quarter push.
On the opening drive of the second half, San Francisco used a good kick return to start at the Eagles' 43. On 4th-and-3 from the 36, Smith completed a 22- yard pass to Morgan, leading to a Joe Nedney 25-yard field goal and a 20-6 game five minutes into the quarter.
On Philadelphia's next play from scrimmage, McNabb floated a pass over the middle that was picked off by Dre' Bly, who raced back to the Eagles' 35. The 49ers faced another fourth down -- 4th-and-5 from the 30 -- but once again Smith converted, hitting Vernon Davis for a 15-yard completion up the middle. Two plays later, Smith hit Morgan for a 12-yard touchdown and a seven-point game.
San Francisco got into Philadelphia territory again on its next series but was forced to punt from the 41. The Eagles responded with an eight-play, 89-yard drive to go back in front by 14, 27-13, with 11:32 left.
On 3rd-and-2 from the Eagles' 19, McNabb hit a streaking Jackson down the right sideline, and he raced 59 yards to the 22. The team ran on four of the next five plays, and McCoy was able to get into the end zone from two yards away to finish the drive.
The 49ers got the ball back on their own 13 with 7:35 to play and drove all the way down to the Eagles' 22 with a chance to cut their deficit in half. However, on 4th-and-7, Philadelphia's Trent Cole sacked Smith to end the series and San Francisco's hopes of a comeback.
Quintin Demps returned the opening kickoff to midfield for Philadelphia, which drove the rest of the way in five plays. Jackson capped off the march with a 19-yard touchdown reception for an early 7-0 lead.
San Francisco also had some success on its opening series but settled for a 51-yard field goal from Nedney to cut the deficit to four.
Late in the first quarter, the Eagles inexplicably elected to go for it on 4th-and-1 from their own 29-yard line. Leonard Weaver was stuffed on the rush attempt, handing the ball to the 49ers in prime field position.
San Francisco, though, squandered the opportunity, as Delanie Walker caught a short pass and fumbled the ball away on the first play of the second quarter. Sheldon Brown recovered for the Eagles, who proceeded to drive 94 yards in nine plays for a 14-3 lead.
The big play of the drive was a 43-yard catch-and-run by Celek to the 49ers' 33, and McNabb scrambled for an eight-yard touchdown on 3rd-and-7 just past the five-minute mark of the quarter.
On the next SF possession, Smith threw one of his three first-half interceptions, leading to a 22-yard field goal by David Akers for a 17-3 lead with 4 1/2 minutes until halftime.
McNabb threw a pick in the end zone on Philadelphia's next offensive series, but Smith returned the favor, as Tracy White's interception led to another Akers field goal -- from 26 yards away -- for a 17-point halftime margin.
Game Notes
The 49ers have lost six straight road games since a season-opening win over Arizona...Davis now has 858 receiving yards for the 49ers this season, setting a new franchise mark for tight ends...The Eagles have won 14 of their last 17 games in December...Philadelphia has scored a touchdown on nine game-opening drives this season and has 51 opening drive points, the most in the NFL...McCoy set an Eagles rookie record with 606 rushing yards...Philadelphia's Michael Vick left the game in the first quarter with a thigh bruise and did not return...San Francisco RB Glen Coffee left the game with a left hamstring strain...The Eagles clinched a playoff spot by virtue of the Cowboys' win over New Orleans last night, while San Francisco was eliminated due to Arizona's win over Detroit.

Solicitations for donations for the Erma Overby Scholarship at Valley City State University will be sent in the coming weeks, but the Valley City-Barnes County Health District can no longer be a part of the effort to recognize the former CCHD director.
Overby, who passed away on June 4 at age 87, worked as a school nurse and the director of the City-County Health District when the two departments merged in 1978. In 2004 the state recognized her with the Outstanding Service in Public Health Award.
You know you're getting older when the acquisition of new or upgraded kitchen accessories produces excitement. In the past few years, I've moved on from Easy-Bake Ovens to much greater culinary gadgets.
The reason most kids under 30 years old don't find the lit-up magic of a touch-screen oven or the ease of an electric can opener exhilarating is because we don't really need to.
Who cooks on a regular basis? Why would you go to the trouble of buying several ingredients when there's ramen to be bought, 10 cents each? What's an oven, anyway, and how do you use one?
Dr. Mark Strand, an associate professor in the North Dakota State University Masters in Public Heath program, recently contacted the Valley City-Barnes County health district, curious about CCHD's Chronic Disease Management program.
Earlier this month, Strand, who was unavailable for comment on Friday, met with CCHD Director Theresa Will to ask about the program. Will said he offered help to her in writing a case study on the program that would be submitted as a medical journal article.
Faculty, students, and community members from across the state will come to the Valley City State University Oct. 11 and 12 to attend the North Dakota University System's 2012 Arts and Humanities Summit. During this biennial event, scholars and artists from across the state will gather to present and share their work in visual arts, music, readings, theater, and scholarship.
Jonna Ziniel, professor at VCSU and coordinator of the event, said the summit is "a really nice showcase of what the state has to offer."
State House and Senate candidates and candidates for the Barnes County Commission have all been invited to participate in a candidate forum Oct. 16 at the Valley City HAC Gymnasium, said Doug Anderson.
Anderson is a Chamber Board member, leads its legislative committee, and is marketing and communications manager for Valley City State University.
The candidate forum is being sponsored by the Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce, and will take place starting at 7 p.m.

Minority Students Showing Growth Well Above National Rates
COLUMBUS, Ohio – More Ohio students are taking and passing Advanced Placement Exams than previous years and the growth in Ohio is exceeding that of the nation as a whole. In addition, African-American and Hispanic students are showing double digit growth in the number of exams taken and passed, exceeding national participation and performance rates for these student populations.
"These Advanced Placement results are really a tribute to educators and students who are working hard both teaching and taking the most challenging classes we can offer," said Dr. Richard A. Ross, Ohio superintendent of public instruction. "Ohio students have been given the opportunity to take rigorous courses and these numbers show that they are up to the challenge."
The College Board's report released Thursday showed that for 2012-2013:
Ohio is also seeing robust growth in many Advanced Placement courses, including English, physics and calculus. The number of students passing the AP statistics Exam grew by 20 percent last year.
Importantly, that growth is not coming at the expense of students passing the exam as 66 percent of Ohio public school students earned scores of "3" or better on their AP Exams last year, compared with 57 percent of public school students nationally.
The Advanced Placement Exams are administered each year in May and represent the culmination of college-level study in a given discipline in a secondary school setting. Last year, more than 3,000 U.S. colleges and universities received AP scores for credit, placement and/or consideration in the admission process, with the vast majority of those colleges and universities offering credit in one or more subjects based on successful Advanced Placement Exam scores. Today, most colleges and universities grant credit, advanced placement or both for an Advanced Placement Exam score of "3" or higher on the 5-point scale.
Beginning in 2009, students in Ohio who take an Advanced Placement examination and score at least a "3"are guaranteed college credit, usually toward their general education curriculum, upon entering an Ohio public institution of higher education.
"Ohio's K-12 and higher education systems have worked well together to expand the Advanced Placement program," said Rebecca Watts, associate vice chancellor of academic affairs for the Ohio Board of Regents. "It is important to note that Advanced Placement is just one of a variety of options available to students who want to challenge themselves and earn college credit during high school."
The number of high school students enrolling in Post-Secondary Education Options and other dual enrollment programs increased by 33 percent between 2008 and 2012.
Research consistently shows that AP students that earn advanced placement into college course work perform as well as — or better than — college students who first completed the introductory course at a college or university. In fact, students who succeed on Advanced Placement Exams during high school typically experience greater overall academic success in college, and are more likely than their non-Advanced Placement peers to earn a college degree and graduate on time.
"We applaud Ohio's Department of Education and the state's dedicated teachers for giving so many students increased access to Advanced Placement course work," said College Board Senior Vice President of AP and Instruction Trevor Packer. "Ohio's powerful AP results show that more students -- with greater diversity -- are developing the knowledge and skills that are essential for college success."
As college costs grow, the prospect of continuing education becomes less of a reality for many high school students. Taking an Advanced Placement course and performing well on the related Advanced Placement Exam can potentially save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition and fees.
More information about Advanced Placement courses and exams can be found on the Department of Education website at education.ohio.gov. More information about dual enrollment opportunities, including Advanced Placement can be found on the Board of Regents website at ohiohighered.org.

TO SURVIVE, be flexible. That's the message of the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Released on Monday, it says there is still great uncertainty about the impacts of climate change. This means, rather than fending off specific threats like droughts, we must build resilient societies.
The report is the second of three instalments of the IPCC's fifth assessment of climate change. The first part stated with higher certainty that climate change is caused by our emissions. Part two is about the impacts on society.
The IPCC has backed off from some of the predictions in its last report, in 2007, and in earlier drafts. It now says we often cannot predict which impacts of climate change – like storms or floods – will hit where. So it argues that we must learn to cope with diverse climate shifts (see "How to survive climate change, from the people doing it").
"One of the messages that doesn't just come from the IPCC, it comes from history, is that the future doesn't ever turn out the way you think it will be," says the report's co-chair Chris Field of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, California. "Being prepared for a wide range of possible futures is just always smart," he says.

Nigeria is not only resource -cursed, but its energy policy is ineffective
In the Global Energy Architecture Performance Index (EAPI) Report 2013 recently released, Nigeria ranked 89 out of 105 countries' energy systems analysed. The first ten countries on the chart include Norway, Sweden, France, Switzerand, New Zealand, Colombia, Latvia, Denmark, Spain and United Kingdom. The last ten countries are Ethiopia, Tanzania, Lebanon, Mozambique, Nepal, Mongolia, Bahrain, Cambodia, Zambia and Iran Islamic Republic.
The EAPI, released by the World Economic Forum, measures 16 indicators which are aggregated into baskets relating to the three imperatives of energy triangle - economic growth and development, environmental sustainability, and access and security of supply - that energy architecture should contribute to. Each country's current energy architecture is ranked based on how well it contributes to these imperatives. Key trends common to majority of countries analysed show that the lowest scorers face challenges around energy access, efficiency and sustainability, and are somehow located in Sub-Saharan Africa, developing countries in Asia or the highly resource-endowed countries of the Middle East. Also, because of the large energy requirements to be met and in order to meet demand, fast-growing, industrialised economies generally rely on cheaper or subsidised fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas.
Aside the foregoing, the EAPI report also established that a large natural energy resource endowment is not a critical performance factor as shown by the prevalence of countries without large endowments at the top of the chart. Again, while many of the countries analysed achieved high performance because they have a large provision of exploitable natural resources, the exceptional performance of countries without large endowment could be linked to the the vision and efficacy of each of the country's energy policy, which emphasises the importance of efficiency and sustainability measures, and effective access to energy markets.
Another key point in the report is what was described as the resource curse, which explains the inverse correlation between resource abundance and the economic development of a country, as shown in the decline in national manufacturing sector productivity due to the currency-strengthening effect of natural resource exploitation.
Fuel subsidy, an issue which has been dominating national debates in oil endowed nations like Nigeria also came under focus in the report, with a clear position that fossil fuels subsidies are detrimental to every angle of the energy triangle. Those negative implications include diversion of investment from other potentially more needful government departments, reduction of fuel consumption efficiency by industry and domestic consumers, encouraging rent-seeking by limiting the capital flow available to new energy infrastructure projects, and the fact that subsidies are difficult to target accurately. Also emphasised, was the need for policy-makers to address some big issues around fuel subsidies, water use for energy production and effective resource wealth management.
Using Nigeria as a case study, the report noted that with expenses on subsidy put at about 30 per cent of total Federal Government expenditure and 4 per cent of national income, it is economically inefficient. The irony of this situation, as the report clearly observed, is that Nigeria currently an oil exporter, reimports refined crude products, and by implication creating value and employment externally, while shouldering the burden of the cost of its fuel subsidy. It also observed that as a prerequisite for all sectors of an economy, energy cost is critical because price volatility and supply interruptions could destabilise economies, while reliable energy, on the other hand, promotes economic and social development.
The EAPI report which provides informed and actionable support for policy and investment decision making, rightly noted that the world is in a period of transition and decision-makers must understand the core objectives of energy architecture and how they are being impacted by changing dynamics. We believe that Nigerian policy makers could use the indepth work of this report to benchmark their policies with a view to achieving a transition to the new energy architecture.

The famous frank joint's reopening in the spring of 2013 wasn't just the unofficial start to summer—it was the comeback of the year. The Surf-and-Stillwell flagship—opened in 1916—was under six feet of floodwater just a few months earlier, and also fell victim to a fire this past May, but the warhorse trudged on, firing up the grills for sizzling hot dogs just in time for Memorial Day. The original subway tiles and iconic signage are back, as are menu staples like crinkle-cut fries and thick-battered corn dogs, but there's one shiny "new" addition: a curbside clam bar, a revival of the restaurant's raw bar from the '50s. East Coast oysters and littlenecks are shucked per order over a mountain of ice, served with chowder crackers, lemon wedges, sinus-clearing horseradish and cocktail sauce.

Celebrity In Death (edition 2012)
by J. D. Robb
Work details
Celebrity in Death by J.D. Robb
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was really good. I love the "in death series".
I seem to be in the minority on my opinion of this book. I'm a huge fan of Nora Roberts and the In Death series. Huge. But I felt this installment was lacking. There was no action at all and little emotion. Maybe I'm just getting bored with the series, but I was disappointed. I judge a book by how easy it is to put it down and it took me 3 days to read it when normally I get through an In Death in less than a day.
This book once again focuses back on the Icove book now there is a film being made on what happened with that case. There is a murder on set and the story is centered around this murder and no other side issues. This is once again a good read that leaves you wanting to read the next book to see what happens in the lives of not only Eve and Rourke but everyone else in the series.
I really enjoyed this installment. My favorite books are the ones were Eve and Roarke are at odds, and though that wasn't the case here I found the case interesting and the usual cast of characters engaging. There was quite a bit of humor laced throughout. The whodunit was pretty easy to figure out but I enjoy watching Eve puzzle her way through the evidence.
I enjoyed this one, being back in New York, but still dealing a bit with the fallout from Dallas. I did feel that the tension was missing in this one. I never felt any real emotion at all, towards the victim, towards the killer, not even any tension or stress between Eve and Roarke. I mean, it's nice they're good, but I missed that extra element. No one was even at any personal risk this time, everything just felt like it was tied up so easily. I guess I missed the blood and the danger this time around.
I'd give this one more of a 3-3.5, but bumped it to 4 because it's Eve and Roarke, it was a good story, and it still kept me engaged to the end.

Hey True Believers!
It's been a long while since I've last posted! I was so busy working on my Myth Masque costume that I had no time to blog! Well here I am again, with a makeup review for you! (Those of you on my YouTube, I'm in the process of editing videos so hang tight!)
Last weekend Sephora opened up sales to VIBs to purchase the new, limited edtion, Ariel Storylook Palette which is Volume 3 in their collection (The first two were Cinderella and Jasmine, which have since sold out, but you can still get them on ebay, but be careful!)
When it is re-released to the public later this month/early July you can purchase it here. It will be sold in select Sephora retail stores in August.
Some of you were super excited for me to swatch and review it for you, so here you go!
(This is a pic heavy post!)

Uterus transplants are go. A Swedish surgeon who successfully transplanted wombs into nine women is now helping some of them get pregnant via IVF.
"We are in the process of starting embryo transfer," says Mats Brännström of the University of Gothenburg's Sahlgrenska Hospital. If successful, it will be the first pregnancy in a transplanted womb. Since some of the uterus transplants are from mother to daughter, pregnancies could lead to a second generation being born from the same womb.
"I cannot give any specific information about the cases," says Brännström, but he revealed that most of the women are in their 30s and were either born without a uterus or had their own removed during cancer treatment.
All the donors are alive and healthy, and all are related to the recipient to minimise the likelihood of rejection. At least two received wombs from their mothers, the same wombs they grew in as embryos.
The transplant does not include ovaries or fallopian tubes so IVF is essential. "We make sure the women are fertile and have embryos stored beforehand," Brännström says.
Privileged condition
Brännström told New Scientist in 2011 when he was planning the treatment that he would transplant the womb itself, plus all uterine arteries and veins to supply and drain blood from the organ. But he would not transplant nerves, which would greatly increase the complexity of the operation. He said that recipients would receive small doses of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection, but hoped that the organ would be accepted more readily because pregnancy is itself an "immunoprivileged" condition, where foreign material from the father is tolerated in the body.
If pregnancy and birth are successful, Brännström will remove the womb, unless the recipient plans to have more babies.
Brännström is not the first surgeon to transplant a womb. A Saudi woman received one in 2000, but surgeons said in 2002 that they'd had to remove it 99 days later because of life-threatening blood clots in associated blood vessels.
In preparations for womb transplants over the past decade, Brännström and his colleagues have demonstrated successful births from such transplants in mice and sheep, and practiced the procedure on baboons.
He will divulge more details next month at a workshop on womb transplantation in Macau, China.

The XSLT equivalent of called subroutines is named templates. You can
do something like (untested):
<xsl:template name="sep-image">
<xsl:param name="src"/>

And then you can invoke it with:
<xsl:call-template name="sep-image">
<xsl:with-param name="src" value="pretty.png"/>
Hope that's what you were looking for. BTW, if you can avoid empty alt
attributes, you should probably parameterize that, too, if your source
XML format supports something that can be used for it. In my custom
DocBook stylesheets, I generate most  elements from docbook
<graphic/> elements; and I use the xreflabel attribute's contents when
available; otherwise the contents of the <title/> sub-element to
