Arizona Cardinals
John Skelton will start at QB for Cardinals at Seattle
Well surprise, surprise.
Just a week after Ken Whisenhunt stayed with rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley in a rough performance against the New York Jets, the Arizona Cardinals head coach is swapping signal callers once again. Third-year pro John Skelton will start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks at Century Link Field.
Arizona Sports' Kyndra de St. Aubin tweeted out the news:
Whiz says Skelton will start Sunday— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) December 5, 2012
Skelton hasn't played since being replaced by Lindley in the first half of a loss at Atlanta November 18. The Fordham product, who won the starting job in training camp, has started five games this season, completing 98-of-179 passes for 1,058 yards with two touchdown passes and five interceptions.
"There's a number of reasons that go into it, but John is going to start for us this week up in Seattle, and we'll go from there," Whisenhunt said.
The head coach was vague about the reasons why he's switching back to Skelton.
"Some of it has to do with Seattle -- playing up there, having played against them once already this year," he said. "There are a lot of factors, but I'm not going into each one of them."
Skelton suffered an ankle injury in the season opener against Seattle at University of Phoenix Stadium and didn't see the field again until Week 6 against Buffalo when Kevin Kolb suffered a rib injury.
Skelton started the next four games before being replaced by Lindley.
"It's another opportunity, you can't take any opportunity for granted if it comes at the beginning of the season, the end of the season, whether you're losing or when you're winning, you just have to take advantage of every opportunity you get," Skelton said after practice Wednesday.

289ci Four-Barrel Intake and Carb Swap - Breathe In, Ride Out
We Add 32 rwhp and a Ton of Fun With a Simple Four-Barrel Intake and Carb Swap
It sounds like an old cliché by now, right? Just do a four-barrel intake and carb swap, and wake up your old, lazy 289ci sloth. But it can't be quite that simple, can it? Turns out that it may be just that simple. Sure, a cylinder head swap, stroker kit, or power-adder could give you a bigger power boost, but those are big (and expensive) projects. We're talking about taking a basically stock 289 to the next level relatively inexpensively. This kind of swap will not break the bank, and you can do it yourself, in your driveway, in just a few hours.
At the heart of a swap like this is the intake manifold—the most difficult part of the job. But with basic handtools and fundamental mechanical skills, just about anyone can swap it themselves. The key is to make sure you have everything you need before starting. You'll need intake manifold gaskets and RTV sealant if you want to keep it as simple and cheap as possible.
While you're at it, though, this is a great opportunity to replace things like radiator hoses, heater hoses, hose clamps, thermostat, thermostat housing, vacuum hoses, and coolant temp sensor. And since the coolant system needs to be drained, it's also a good time to flush the gunk out of your radiator and add fresh coolant. To us, opting to do these things is a no-brainer.
Our test subject, a '65 coupe owned by Frank Cossota, is a 289ci four-speed survivor from California. It appears to be stock, with a stock intake, stock-looking heads, and stock-style carburetor. Frank found a receipt for a 289 rebuild in all the paperwork he got with the purchase, which he made recently. The receipt was dated 1998, with "The Beast" in the description. We doubted that to be accurate. Sarcasm, maybe?
There's only one way to find out, so we drove the coupe to AntiVenom in Seffner, Florida. AntiVenom has a Dynojet chassis dyno, and allowed us to do our before and after testing there. The results? Well, power peaked at 132 rwhp and torque at 226 lb-ft. That's about 165 flywheel horsepower, assuming a 20-percent drivetrain loss. Not bad, but certainly not a "Beast." We could only assume that the heads and cam are stock as well.
Back at our SIM Tech Center, shop sage Darrell Kunda handled the install. Our intake manifold of choice is the Weiand Street Warrior (PN 8124; $156.95). This dual-plane aluminum intake is designed specifically for mild to moderate street engines, and features a powerband from idle to 5,500 rpm—ideal for our little 289. To top it off, we chose a 625-cfm Street Demon (PN 1901; $391.95). This new integrated design from Demon features an electric choke, single fuel inlet for ease of install, and is ready to run—no tuning necessary.
After Kunda removed the stock pieces and began cleaning the mounting surfaces, we weighed both intake manifolds. Not surprisingly, the stock piece tipped the scale at 38 pounds, and the Weiand piece weighed in at 15.5 pounds—a 22.5-pound savings. That doesn't sound like much, but you'll appreciate the weight savings as you install the aluminum piece. It's like the difference between a full-grown Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Miniature Schnauzer.
Installation was a breeze, and we went ahead and took care of those aforementioned items while we were at it. Our testdrive indicated a significant improvement, but the real results would be on the dyno. Back at AntiVenom, we spun the rollers again, yielding 164 rwhp and 245 lb-ft of torque. The peak-to-peak improvement was 32 horsepower, which alone is impressive enough. But the under-the-curve improvement was huge in torque production—as much as a 40 lb-ft difference (at 3,800 rpm), even though peak-to-peak shows "only" a 19 lb-ft improvement.
Driving on the street is much improved, transforming an anemic heap into a fun-to-drive cruiser. It retains its mild demeanor at part throttle, but wakes up in an instant when asked. And we didn't even do any tuning—we just bolted the parts on right out of the box. That certainly put a smile on our faces.
Problem is, our powerband ends somewhere between 4,000 and 4,500 rpm. The solution, we say, would be a pair of nice aluminum heads and a mild camshaft. Those should boost horsepower to over 200 and torque to around 275 and bring the top of the powerband to 5,500 rpm. It will probably be a while before Frank grows tired of this setup and needs more power to make him smile, but we'll report the results to you if we can talk him into it.
1. This Californian survivor features a 289ci stocker and a four-speed transmission. Though refreshed some time ago, the powerplant looked mostly stock, down to the stock intake and carb. We needed to do something about that.
2. Designed as an entry-level V-8, the 289ci two-barrel C-code certainly left performance on the table, which was the job of the K-code four-barrel.
3. Tech Center Manager Darrell Kunda began by removing the fuel line, throttle linkage, and mounting hardware from the stock two-barrel.
4. Kunda removed the carburetor.
5. He then unbolted and removed the stock intake manifold.
6. Sixteen years of crud was built up in the coolant passages, so we took this opportunity to clean out what we could reach.
7. To solve the problem of anemia with Frank's '65 coupe, we chose a simple four-barrel swap. We chose Weiand's Street Warrior aluminum intake manifold (PN 8124; $156.95). It has a powerband from idle to 5,500 rpm, and is an ideal upgrade for a stock 289.
8. Demon has an all-new line of Street Demon carburetors. We chose the smallest, a 625-cfm version (PN 1901; $391.95) with the polymer body. An all-aluminum version (PN 1900) is only $329.95.
9. We also ordered up this installation kit (PN 160049; $17.99), which is a must.
10. Side by side, our new Weiand four-barrel and the stock iron two-barrel intake.
11. Other than the obvious differences seen here, there's a huge savings in weight. The stock intake weighs 38 pounds, and the aluminum Weiand only weighs 15.5 pounds—a 22.5-pound savings.
12. Kunda prepped and cleaned all of the intake mating surfaces and soaked up what little coolant dripped into the valley when he removed the stock intake.

Derek Bermel's VOICES Returns to NYC with Mannes Orchestra Tonight
This evening, February 25 at 8PM, composer-clarinetist Derek Bermel takes the stage at Alice Tully Hall when the Mannes Orchestra performs Voices, his highly-praised clarinet concerto. Unheard in New York since its critically-acclaimed 1998 World Premiere, the work was co-commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra and Boston Modern Orchestra Project, premiered by ACO at Carnegie Hall, and recorded by BMOP on a Grammy-nominated disc for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (with orchestra). Bermel's performance is in conjunction with his spring term at Mannes, where he serves as composer-in-residence. His residency is unique, as he occupies a central role at the school, working with the entire student population to explore composition, improvisation, and composer collaborations, along with the performance of new music, regardless of style or genre.
Voices reflects Bermel's deep engagement with other musical cultures, which has become part of the fabric and force of his compositional language and where the human voice and its myriad inflections play a primary role. Voices explores the clarinet and the orchestra through a multitude of techniques. The first movement, "Id", evokes sounds of shouting, laughing, and mumbling; the second movement, "She Moved Thru the Fair," is haunted by the sounds, inflections, and gestures of Irish folk music; and the finale, "Jamm on Toast," features vocal techniques more commonly associated with funk and big-band music.
In an eclectic array of collaborations, residencies, and ground-breaking educational roles, Bermel has worked, as clarinetist and composer, with jazz great Wynton Marsalis, hip-hop legend Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), violinist Midori, installation artist Shimon Attie, the National and Boston Symphonies, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Guarneri and JACK Quartets, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Music from China and Music from Copland House, the Schoenberg Ensemble/Veenfabriek (Netherlands), Jazz Xchange (UK), and Figura (Denmark). He has also scored several films with composer/sound designer David Reid. His musical drama with poet Wendy Walters, Golden Motors, will be previewed on March 9 and 10 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where he is in his fourth and final year as artist-in-residence, and at Mannes later this spring. His newly-released CD, Canzonas Americanas, on the Cantaloupe label with Alarm Will Sound, was included on several "Best of the 2012" lists around the U.S.
Admission is free, but tickets are required, contact the Alice Tully box office at 212.671.4050.

Earlier this week in Monday Morning Quarterback, a
regular correspondent wrote that Joe Biden "has the experience and the smarts to be a fine
president." I myself like the Democratic senator's shoot-from-the-lip style. But voting for him
over Hillary because "the Clinton baggage [might] make her easy to defeat," as our correspondent
noted, is another matter. I'm not sure I want to vote for any candidate who is cut from the same
establishment cloth as the rest of the Beltway pols.
Be that as it may, my staff of thousands has asked me to point out the Biden baggage. So
here it is, headlined href="http://puregarlic.blogspot.com/2005/06/news-in-brief-23-june-2005.html"

"Face The Nation" last Sunday were accurate, [and] he is taking the first steps of staffing.
Included in his staffing requirements will be a Proofreader and a Fact Checker.
Biden had to drop out of the 1988 race for the Democratic nomination, after it was revealed
he plagiarized parts of a speech by British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock and that he had
plagiarized in law school 20 years earlier.
Biden [above left, on NBC's "Meet the Press" with Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, of
Nebraska] admitted that his campaign may come in fits-and-starts, as all his statements and
writings will be reviewed before being spoken or released for publication. "Just think of it of
watching a foreign movie with bad dubbing," joked Biden.
My staff of thousands also adores this headline from the same source:

New Boomslang Aerial Walkway in Kirstenbosch Gardens Lets You Stroll through Treetops
Alessandro Candotti
A swashbuckling word-nerd and life-time student of the creative edge, Alessandro spends his time cooking up funky stories and getting his teeth kicked out at Thai Boxing. His geekiness comes in useful where he gets put to work fashioning digital content that sizzles. When not searching for the perfect metaphor, Alessandro hunts for the quirky, the arresting and the powerful, since following Dr Seuss' maxim you gotta:
"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the THINKS you can think up if only you try!"
It's one of those excruciatingly beautiful Cape Town mornings.
You're in the Kirstenbosch Gardens with your second glass of wine, not even realising you've been smiling faintly for the last two hours.
You can hear the birds. They're next to you, right alongside you in fact. Your friend stops and turns. You're emerging from the canopy, 3 storeys above the garden, the eastern slopes of mighty Table Mountain cascading greenly.
The view is breath-taking.
Kirstenbosch's new Boomslang Aerial Walkway is set to be opened to the public at the end of February 2014.
See the Boomslang Aerial Walkway pics.
Constructed along a 25-year-old indigenous arboretum (or sculpted tree corridor) the 128-metre-long walkway starts at ground level, curving its graceful way through 12 viewing towers to the canopy.
Featuring about 450 of South Africa's 1,000 indigenous tree species, at its highest point the walkway rises 11.5m storeys above Cape Town's famous botanical vista.
Calling the views spectacular doesn't do them justice. From Castle Rock to the towering cliffs of Table Mountain, across the Cape Flats and Southern Suburbs to the Hottentots Holland Mountain, the panorama is superb even by the lofty standards of the Mother City.
As one of nine parks managed by the South African National Bio Diversity Institute, Kirstenbosch is the only one to have a walkway of this kind installed.
This is the kind of gorgeousness you'll be looking down on. Enjoy our snapshots of Cape Town? You should follow us on twitter here.

Port Macquarie 70.3
This weekend I headed down to port macquarie 70.3 in pursuit of claiming some valuable kpr points , with a solid block in me and a good week at work I was heading in to port unsure of how the body would respond to an action packed last 6 weeks - as destination busso is coming up and between my coach, Gilsey, and I we were taking the race as a good chance for a hit out with no expectations.
Race morning and I wasn't feeling to bad, the gun went and I found myself in a pack which I was stoked about, with a good swim I exited the water with Holbra, demitrieff, shortis in a pb swim of 24:40 which I was stoked with.
The bike leg is made up of two loops of 45 km with a mixture of hills and flat and, as I was 90 seconds down on the front boys I went about my business with a group of lads that I thought were strong, the 90 second gap should have not gotten bigger but it did with a lack of pacing threw boys happy to sit in 12meters back I found my self along with shortis on the front and by the time 90km had gone by I was ready to rip in to the guys but kept my calm. It's simple if you want to sit up someone's ass then don't admit after the race and get on your bike more and do more miles.
Run leg started and it was frantic with appleton, demitrieff and myself screaming out of t2 we soon for some reason realised that threw 2km we had held 3.14km pace and that maybe just a little to quick, For myself the run went in waves i was fatigued had no stride then would come good this continued threw the hole run and just maybe the work I had done on the bike was coming back to bite me. I managed a run split of 1hr.20 which was ok as I juggled the fatigue and mental games.
What I really took out of this race was yes, I had a tough day, but I was able to draw from the miles and mental work Gilsey has done with me and battle to the finish and with that in mind I am truly pumped for one great lead into busso.
To sum the weekend up; I swam well, road strong and put together a run which was respectable, the things I can't control around me are at the end of the day not worth stressing about and races are now becoming a lot more about tactics than mongrel.
Finishing 7th was a solid day and for ever becoming for competitive racing in the professional ranks, on wards and up wards.
Till next time

Edinburgh v Treviso: Teams
At Murrayfield, Saturday, May 5, kick-off 7.30pm
Last Updated: 04/05/12 1:48pm
Edinburgh, and Scottish rugby in general, will say goodbye to Chris Paterson on Saturday when he makes his farewell appearance against Treviso.
The veteran full-back will bring the curtain down on his career at Murrayfield in his side's last match of the PRO12 season.
He has been picked to start against the Italian side with supporters handed the chance to acknowledge the contributions of the nation's record cap holder and points scorer before he hangs up his boots.
"I've always said that I want to go out playing the best rugby I possibly can and I'm ready to move on to an exciting future," said Paterson.
"My retirement is tinged with sadness but my overriding and lasting feelings are ones of happiness, enjoyment and fulfilment, having achieved far more than I ever thought I would and could have in 14 years of the job.
"I'm delighted to be involved in this game and, as always, have done my best in training and will do my best in the game.
"We've had a great season in Europe and have a chance on Saturday to remedy our league form and finish the season well, both for Edinburgh Rugby and me personally."
Blair absent
Mike Blair misses the chance to play one last time for the Gunners, however, due to a shoulder injury, while Jim Thompson is away on Scotland 7s duty.
Andrew Kelly, Kyle Traynor and Jack Gilding, back-row Alan MacDonald and stand-off Phil Godman will all hope to get the chance to come on from the bench.
Meanwhile, Treviso will want to win their eighth seasonal victory - their fifth abroad - and hopefully overtake Connacht in the table.
Franco Smith chooses to bring in Edoardo Gori on the wing, with Tommaso Iannone and Brendan Williams starting from the bench, thus creating an all-Italian starting XV.
As for the forwards, Robert Barbieri, Alessandro Zanni and Francesco Minto start in the back row, while the injured Antonio Pavanello is replaced by Valerio Bernabo.
In the front row, Franco Sbaraglini is starting as hooker and Ignacio Fernandez Rouyet is starting as tighthead prop.
Edinburgh: 15 Chris Paterson, 14 Tom Brown, 13 Nick De Luca, 12 Matt Scott, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Greig Laidlaw (capt), 9 Chris Leck, 8 Roddy Grant, 7 Ross Rennie, 6 David Denton, 5 Sean Cox, 4 Grant Gilchrist, 3 Geoff Cross, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Allan Jacobsen.
Replacements: 16 Andrew Kelly, 17 Kyle Traynor, 18 Jack Gilding, 19 Steven Turnbull, 20 Alan MacDonald, 21 Alex Black, 22 Harry Leonard, 23 Phil Godman.
Treviso: 15 Luke McLean, 14 Edoardo Gori, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Ludovico Nitoglia, 10 Kristopher Burton, 9 Fabio Semenzato, 8 Robert Barbieri, 7 Alessandro Zanni, 6 Francesco Minto, 5 Corniel Van Zyl, 4 Valerio Bernabò, 3 Ignacio Fernandez Rouyet, 2 Franco Sbaraglini (capt), 1 Michele Rizzo.
Replacements: 16 Enrico Ceccato, 17 Matteo Muccignat, 18 Lorenzo Cittadini, 19 Gonzalo Padrò, 20 Marco Filippucci, 21 Simon Picone, 22 Tommaso Iannone, 23 Brendan Williams.

Armed Forces let a first-half lead slipped off as Gamtel made a late dramatic comeback to smash in three goals.
It took striker Buba Sama exactly ten minutes to send Armed Forces on road to their first victory of the season after losing to Bakau in the Week One of the GFA domestic championship.
Muhammed Conteh cuts into the middle to slice in a shot that rattled on the crossbar, Gamtel's closest attempt for an equaliser. Ex-Brikama United's Bubacarr Sanyang standing between the sticks for the Kaki Boys was forced into daring saves to keep his side's noses in front as Gamtel went in to break a goal up.
Tapha Manneh effects hand few of changes with ex-Lamin United's Hamang Conteh climbing off the substitute bench for Nuha Barrow and Saihou Jallow in for Foday Trawally to bump up blunted Gamtel's attacks.
Towering left-back Dudou Suso had his short off the far post. The Telecommunications giants had to do without star player Assan Ceesay and with striker Ali Sowe traded to Italian Serie A outfit Chievo. But to think Gamtel are dwarfed by the duo's absence would be a costly premonition.
Sam Gibba getting the nod to start up in attack restored pride for Coach Tapha Manneh. Gibba outraced his markers beating off two advancing others to smack in the equaliser in the 62nd minute.
The huge forward carelessly had himself booked for entry in the pitch without the referee's approval after being attended to by medics for an apparent suspected injury under challenge from an Armed Forces defender. Gamtel began commanding domination as Hamang Conteh injected lifeline in the game.
The Soldiers were pushed to the back foot and Hamang made the advantage count when he spaced up to control well within the box before unleashing an unstoppable screamer past helpless goalkeeper Sanyang for a 2-1 scoreline with the clock ticking 71st.
Armed Forces threw in some fresh legs in a last-gasp attempt to even matters but midfielder Modou Sarr had Armed Forces hopes for a spirited comeback dashed wrapping the score with a simplest of tap-ins in a display of attacking prowess for a final 3-1 score. It was Gamtel's first win following an opening fixture defeat to Steve Biko.

Q: How did the most boutique neighborhood grow out of such an industrial maze?
A: I'm assuming you're talking about the infamous Pearl District! Formerly warehouses, industrial yards and railroads, the neighborhood has blossomed into a central shopping hub that has become a focal point of Portland. Yet, this process of urban renewal didn't happen overnight—it was a slow conversion that took place over decades and it is because of the mixture of aged and innovative, elevated and expansive that the Pearl has become so unique.
It is important that we preserve the aspects of the area that are the foundation for its hip factor. The Brewery Blocks did a superb job of combining historic preservation with the current needs for commercial and residential use. Another example is the Eco Trust Building, which took an existing frame and created a statement that has become a central fixture on the Streetcar line. Yet it's not only for commercial that this breeds true. The Pearl is surrounded by some of the most gorgeous Victorian homes in our city, many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. I could walk around the neighborhood for hours because of the vast diversity that the area has to offer.
I think the exclusive blend of mixed-use architecture has created a visionary planning perspective that Portlanders appreciate. This is something that cannot be created from scratch and therefore is a Pearl.

But if that's going to happen, slender students may need to turn up the volume of their support for the subject.
However, safety experts will be looking at one slender clue.
Before McIntyre took on the show, he had the slender build of an average bloke, with the approachable good looks of Ewan McGregor.
c.1400, earlier sclendre (late 14c.), probably from a French source, often said to be from Old French esclendre "thin, slender," which could be from Old Dutch slinder, but the connections, and even the existence of these words, is doubtful. Related: Slenderly; slenderness.

I have a union that has connects plumbing to my pump that has broken in two. I need to know what parts I need to repair this and tips on "How To". I believe it is either 1-1/2" or 2". The union is connected to a short piece of pipe that is glued into a Tee.

We would need to know what the threads measure on the pump to see what size the union is you need. A 2" union will have 3" threads on its OD of the pump. A 1.5" will have 2-3/8" threads on the OD.

King Charles II of Naples had already proposed a marital union between their two houses, and after lengthy negotiations Nikephorus came to an agreement by which Thamar would marry Charles' fourth son Philip I of Taranto.
The conditions for the marriage alliance were that her dowry would give Philip the same position in Epirus that King Manfred of Sicily, had gained through his marriage to Thamar's aunt Helena Doukaina 35 years before. It was also promised that Thamar would bring to her husband an annual sum of 100,000 hyperpyra and four castles located in the south of Epirus. Philip and Thamar were also to inherit Epirus on Nikephoros' death. Due to the involvement of her mother in the agreement, Thamar was promised to be allowed to keep her Orthodox.
The wedding took place at L'Aquila in Abuzzi in August 1294.

Casa de la Gringa has to be one of the coolest hostels. there is so much charm and character and all the rooms are so fun and colorful. The staff is some of the nicest Ive ever met and really make you feel comfortable.
War diese Meinung hilfreich?
The rooms vary a lot, the first few nights we spent here we had a beautiful loft bedroom, but on our return we were given a room in a separate building with no window which was quite noisy. As is to be expected in South America hot water is sporadic, which doesnt bother me...but dont pretend that you do have good hot water!! Location is excellent though, San Blas is the place to be in Cuzco! I would stay here again, but I would want a loft bedroom!

The staff is especially kind. However, when I was there, San Blas lost it's water for one day...Otherwise, in my opinion, it's better to have a room at the back of Casa de la Gringa because its quieterand be warned the very hot showers are too hot! It's burn or freeze! Also, the Annex is freezing, but the beds are good and have at least 4 blankets each!

The staff were really friendly and helpful, and also really accommodating and laid-back. I only stayed for one brief night, but would have loved to stay longer. It is a really cute place and has a lot of details that I appreciated: tea, kitchen, awesome decoration, nice hot water, friendly staff and guests, books for guest use in different languages, etc. It had an overall nice and tranquil atmosphere, and was in a good location.

Discover Orange Bowl Preview- West Virginia Mountaineers vs Clemson Tigers
- Updated: January 1, 2012
The Discover Orange Bowl Betting Preview– No. 23 West Virginia Mountaineers vs. No.15 Clemson Tigers
Point spread: Clemson -3.5
Over/Under: 61
It is a battle of conference champions in this season's Orange Bowl when the Big East's West Virginia Mountaineers and the Clemson Tigers, out of the AAC collide in Miami Gardens on Wednesday, Jan. 4. The kick-off for this clash is slated for 8:30 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
West Virginia's run through the regular season featured a couple of disappointing losses, but a 5-2 straight-up record along with a favorable BCS ranking as a three-way tie-breaker was enough to secure the conference title. The Mountaineers finished 9-3 SU overall and 6-6 against the spread. The total went 'over' in eight of their 12 games this season.
One thing that did remain consistent for most of the season was a West Virginia passing game that ended-up ranked seventh in the nation in total yards per game. Geno Smith led the way with 3,978 passing yards and 25 touchdowns. Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin combined for 156 receptions for 2,260 yards and 15 TD's.
Clemson made a legitimate run at the BCS title game with eight-straight victories to start the year, but stumbled down the stretch with three losses in its final four regular season games. The Tigers atoned for the slide with a convincing 38-10 victory over Virginia Tech as seven-point underdogs in the ACC title game. They finished the season 10-3 SU overall and 6-2 SU in conference play. Clemson was 8-5 ATS and the total went 6-7 in its 13 games.
The Tigers also boast a prolific passing game with an average of 284.8 yards per game. Tajh Boyd passed for 3,578 yards and 31 touchdowns while completing just over 60 percent of his attempts. Sammy Watkins was the leading receiver with 77 catches for 1,153 yards and he had a team-high 11 touchdowns, while Andre Ellington did a good job rushing the ball with 1,062 yards on 213 carries.
The Mountaineers are 1-4 ATS in their last five bowl games and 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games against the ACC. The total has gone 'over' in eight of their last 11 bowl games.
The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last six bowl games and 0-5 ATS in their last five games against the Big East. The total has stayed 'under' in six of their last seven bowl games.
With trends such as these, something has to give in this matchup. Stick with the Tigers, as the all-around better team, to come out on top with a victory that covers the 3.5 points.

It's official. Winter is here! If you hadn't already reached for the gloves and scarf this year, there will be plenty of opportunities ahead of you as we head into the cooler months. Sure, winter isn't as much fun as summer, but every cloud has a silver lining... especially those filled with snow.

i drew a blank!
i drew a blank!
Unsuccessful!! I am a first time Elk hunter and have no idea what to do now. Thought I had a special permit for sure with multiple bonus points for a breaks (which I have done a TON of research on) tag but I was wrong. Could any of you guys help me out with where I should go with a general tag? My ENTIRE game plan has been thrown off and I have no idea where to start. I live in western ND so I would like to hunt probably around central, south central MT. Is there any good public lands or general units around Bozeman? Seriously any help would be VERY much appreciated for this first time elk hunter. I prefer bowhunting but am not afraid to go with my 7mm later in the year if that is what is preferred. Thanks guys!
I would say head to the Big or Little Belt mountains. Plenty of access.

Thanks guys! Is unit 392 the Big Belts? I'm guessing that area is heavily hunted since its close to Helena but thats ok with me as I usually try my best to get as far from the roads as possible. I've never elk hunted before and am used to strictly spot and stalk (muleys and antelope). Is this area more for spot and stalking or do I need to be really good with a call? From the research i've done so far it seems like the Big Belts are more spot and stalk friendly due to more open areas as where the Little Belts are pretty heavily forrested? Thanks again guys, every piece of info is EXTREMELY appreciated!!!
No Antelope or Elk for me. Deer B is it.
And my Brother didn't draw anything at all.
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!
Anyone looking for a guided hunt can PM me for details, have spots for elk, deer and combo hunt.

The Supreme Court's Awful Decision
In a week of rotten political news, it got worse yesterday. The Supreme Court of the United States, in a 5-to-4 decision, rolled back almost all restrictions on corporate spending in federal election campaigns. And get this: Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the (conservative) majority, said:
"Because speech is an essential mechanism of democracy - it is the means to hold officials accountable to the people - political speech must prevail against laws that would suppress it by design or inadvertence."
I'm no legal scholar and those who are, if they read this little blog, would surely dismiss me as an ignorant simpleton, but it looks to me that in that one sentence Justice Kennedy massively contradicts himself. In the Court's unleashing of corporate election spending with no limits, he cites holding officials accountable to the people.
Ahem. Corporations are not people.
Okay, that's not strictly true or, rather, it has been an ongoing debate in legal circles since 1886, with – you guessed it - the doctrine of "corporate personhood" winning most of the time, as it did yesterday. If you are interested in the history and arguments pro and con, Wikipedia has an overview that will get you started on this esoteric, but important concept.
For many years, I have kept a miniature copy of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution on my desk.
I use the little book when various clauses and amendments come up for discussion in politics and the news, like yesterday. I frequently dip into it at random and not infrequently, I read it all the way through. Of all the cultural uber texts, these two documents are my favorites. The Declaration and Constitution are overflowing with references to people.
We the people...
...it becomes necessary for one people...
...all men are created equal...
...it is the right of the people...
...retained by the people...
...reserved...to the people.
...elected by the people...
And so on. These are thrilling documents - and nowhere within them does the word corporation appear. Nevertheless, the personhood doctrine is not just being upheld with this decision, it has been expanded.
Reaction to the decision yesterday was swift and, aside from the usual suspects, negative. Senator Russ Feingold (D. Wisc.) took an historic view in his statement:
"It is important to note that the decision does not affect McCain-Feingold's soft money ban, which will continue to prevent corporate contributions to the political parties from corrupting the political process. But this decision was a terrible mistake.
"Presented with a relatively narrow legal issue, the Supreme Court chose to roll back laws that have limited the role of corporate money in federal elections since Teddy Roosevelt was president. Ignoring important principles of judicial restraint and respect for precedent, the Court has given corporate money a breathtaking new role in federal campaigns.
"Just six years ago, the Court said that the prohibition on corporations and unions dipping into their treasuries to influence campaigns was 'firmly embedded in our law.' Yet this Court has just upended that prohibition, and a century's worth of campaign finance law designed to stem corruption in government.
"The American people will pay dearly for this decision when, more than ever, their voices are drowned out by corporate spending in our federal elections. In the coming weeks, I will work with my colleagues to pass legislation restoring as many of the critical restraints on corporate control of our elections as possible."
Given the nihilism of Congressional Republicans, I don't hold out much hope for Feingold's legislative initiative.
Now that corporations and labor unions can spend as much of their collective trillions as they want not only on issue advertising, but in support or opposition of individual candidates for Congress or president, what possible chance do "we the people" have. This year's mid-term Congressional election will be like no other we have ever seen.
It is bad enough that corporations have bought most of our elected representatives with their campaign contributions. Now they can buy the people's votes. I am heartsick for my country today.
The Washington Post has an ongoing page linking to reactions to the decision from all over the web. And SCOTUSblog has more.

Criminals posing as jurists
Clearly there is a trend in the country that people like us don't understand. Because it's happening so much, and it has us wringing our hands in such sadness and disgust, I wonder if it means we are out of touch with how people actually DO feel. Could it be that things have changed so much since we were younger? I am questioning myself and my beliefs today.
Although I will admit many of my Bay Area young friends share my beliefs.
Awful news. A popular uprising is called for. Truly. Corporations and their power to shape our lives must be curbed.
This was a horrible decision and showed in a bright light the lies of Roberts when he claimed he'd uphold previous law, when he claimed he'd be a modest jurist. Most suspected the man was lying based on his record but we now have the proof. He believed no such thing and has been in the hands of the neocon/corporatists all along.
People had the right to advertise, but corporations are not people. They do not vote. They don't even have to be owned by citizens. This court has just said our country is open for the highest bidder. Those four judges should be ashamed of themselves, but I suspect this is just the beginning of how they intend to rewrite common law basing it on a document written and signed when there was no concept of corporations or the kind of advertising possible today.
There are several ways we can deal with this. One is put more money into organizations like move on.org which present the other side but that works best when it's issues and least well when it's someone running for office.
We can stop letting advertising phase us, but I fear the kind of people easily swayed by advertising are not reading Ronni's blog. If advertising quits buying elections, if voters found their sources of information in newspapers and online with facts, not opinions, then the advertising money would dry up. This has little hope of happening given the American people and their shallow appetite for thrills and chills.
The third option is change the Constitution. It has been done before and can be done again but it is not a fast process.
Congress can try rewriting these laws but the court is likely to just say it's unconstitutional again and this time with their own precedent.
The very idea that the Constitution is some kind of divinely inspired bible is how we get to where we are today where this narrow-minded little body of men overrode historic decisions, Congress and Presidents in decreeing a Corporation to be a person. They have set themselves up as superior to all Americans and our government for deciding what is 'best'. It's amazing, maddening and a disastrous decision for everybody but the corporate interests. It's not the least unexpected given the makeup of that current Supreme Court. I don't even like to think about what is going to come next!
five judges
Minor comment: I wish the unions had those trillions to counter-balance those corporations, but they don't. One of the results of decades of corporate domination of the political process is that, as in so many arenas, though there is law that allows union organizing but in practice organizing is impossible. The law is so weak that private sector employers treat its penalties for union busting as simply a cost of doing business.
That said, drastic as this is, it is important for us to realize that campaign finance law was in tatters before 5 judges told us yesterday that elections were for sale to the highest bidder. I work in campaigns: evading restrictions is a growth industry for smart accountants and lawyers. Money will always flow toward winning power -- and it has been.
Think, for example, of the Fox News channel --and entire network devoted to propaganda that presumably also makes some profit.
No solutions from me. Ronni: you live in one of the states using a public financing method. Is it better? Is this something to push?
How ironic. I was just thinking that I no longer recognize the country in which I was born. I no longer feel connected to it's heart and am no longer passionate and proud about being an American. This supreme court (deliberately not capitalized)decision is one of the reasons. I have come to believe that we, the People, are no longer important in America, that it is the corporations that are actually running the government and we common folk are mere puppets in their hands. Until now I thought I was being a bit over the top and perhaps even paranoid -- now I know my instincts were spot on.
I'm in search of a new country to die in.
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse the 'Supremes' put the nail in the coffin of democracy.
Roe vs Wade will be next. The public was warned that the most disastrous thing that would come out of electing George Bush would be his nominees to the Supreme Court. This outrageous ruling proves that the ones who warned us were right.
I am so depressed by it all. I feel like we are all voices crying in the wilderness. Money, Greed and Power have taken over our country.
One more bit of reading on this: Heather K. Green suggests that the greater result of this decision, even more than blatant election buying, may be a slide toward legalizing unabashed corruption of elected officials.
All too plausible. Take a look.
I've been robbed of something great. I'm sorry I'll no longer feel as though my heart will burst with pride while singing America the Beautiful and the Stars Spangled Banner as in elementary school and at baseball games on the 4th of July, etc.
Bad as I feel, I won't be leaving this country although the thought has come into my mind. My husband recently announced he would like to secure a spot for our burial at the recently opened Washington Crossing National Cemetery not far from where we live. So I'm here in life and in death.
We don't allow non-citizens to vote in elections, so why would we allow them to fund campaigns, through their interest in quasi-international corps? Think of all the companies with international ties, as well as the oil cartels, Rupert Murdoch et al, Japanese automakers, European food product manufacturers. All will have no restrictions on how much $$$ they can throw behind the candidates that promise to give them whatever they need to make their businesses grow in the US. In addition to buying candidates, they give themselves a competitive edge in our marketplace. All they need is cash. It's like opening a whole new front for lobbying, while undermining the US economy/jobs market at the same time. We're screwed.
Justice Kennedy is at least 70 or more...Went to school with his wife...I'm aghast at his "judgement"....
I was struck by Francine Hardaway's comment. I, too, wonder if we're the ones who are out of touch. (By "we," I mean what we used to admit to being: liberal democrats.)
Pundit after pundit has been analyzing this week's news, and I haven't heard anyone say what Hillary Clinton said years ago, that it's a "vast right-wing conspiracy."
I thought she was right then, and I think so now, although I'm not sure it's a "conspiracy" when it's as open as broadcast TV and AM talk radio.
We may be the first nation to be subject to mob rule through the actions of democracy.
When I first heard Hillary Clinton talk about the " vast right-wing conspiracy." I thought she was just doing a little political showboating but the more I thought about it, the more I knew that she was dead right. There is a conspiracy and now it's probably too late to stop it. They have taken the high ground and they're going to pick us off until they have absolute power over the government.
Maybe I was lucky to be born 75 years ago. God help my grandchildren
So...if I'm understanding this correctly, we no longer contact our political servant when we need voice, we boycott the corporation by not supporting their products and services? It appears as though we will now need a new political paradigm to work with to follow ALL the money ALL the time before we even get to debate the real issue.
I don't think there is a political conspiracy. I think as liberals we deny that we are, essentially, a capitalist society that is dictated by economics and in that denial we become weakened and easily defeated. Everybody is going to the same stores (for the most part) and using the same goods, whether Republican or Democrat. The only difference is that when the Republicans are buying, are they investing in what they want and believe in and the Dems are buying what is available - not understanding that their dollar is a political investment. This is not a hard horse race to call.
"Heartsick" is the perfect word, Ronni.
I recommend for viewing, by anyone who cares to, a marvellous documentary made several years ago which outlines exactly how 'personalizing' a corporation will irretrievably damage a democracy.
And defines a corporation as a psychopathic entity.
The thing that makes me a little nuts is the logical inconsistency of the far right.
I haven't found anywhere in the Bill of Rights that it applies only to citizens, but the far right has insisted that it does... until now when they also apply its protections to corporations.
It's kind of like trying to debate the Mad Hatter, isn't it?
You put it so beautifully: "heartsick for my country." That's exactly how I feel, too.
Ah, did you say we now could buy an election?
My god.
It's terrible decision. A couple of rays of light:
* From everything I read, the decision is so unwarranted and poorly reasoned that it can probably be overturned. Of course, this requires a liberal -- even moderate -- majority. Justice Kennedy can't live forever...
* Only some corporations will take advantage of this. I just can't see Microsoft or Bank of America, for example, risking the good will of their customers by taking sides. Having said that, I can easily imagine Dick Cheney sneering and chortling when he heard about the decision, then high-fiving the Halliburton board of directors.
Are corporations really persons?
Do corporations think?
Do corporations grieve when a loved one dies as a result of a lack of adequate health care?
If a corporation ever committed an unspeakable crime against the American people, could IT be sent to federal prison? (Note the operative word here: "It")
Has a corporation ever given its life for its country?
Has a corporation ever been killed in an accident as the result of a design flaw in the automobile it was driving?
Has a corporation ever written a novel that inspired millions?
Has a corporation ever risked its life by climbing a ladder to save a child from a burning house?
Has a corporation ever won an Oscar? Or an Emmy? Or the Nobel Peace Prize? Or the Pulitzer Prize in Biography?
Has a corporation ever been shot and killed by someone who was using an illegal and unregistered gun?
Has a corporation ever paused to reflect upon the simple beauty of an autumn sunset or a brilliant winter moon rising on the horizon?
If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a noise if there are no corporations there to hear it?
Should corporations kiss on the first date?
Our lives - yours and mine - have more worth than any corporation. To say that the Supreme Court made a awful decision on Thursday is an understatement. Not only is it an obscene ruling - it's an insult to our humanity.
And sick to my stomach, too.
I head a committee to educate the public about the loss of democracy because of Corporate Personhood. It is appalling that it took from the late
1800s until this last Supreme Court case
for the public to become incensed.
After all the three major mega-media corporations don't mind people knowing the truth now that corporate Personhood is finalized and without restriction. The next national election is assured to favor the candidates that the corporations can now buy with their Corporate Personhood power totally intact.
Up to this point only the rarely read activist writers were telling the people that the king had no clothes on.
Noam Chomsky, the champion of democracy, is rarely heard because he tells the truth and does not get the big chances to speak on TV. Through the years the truth was stifled by this Corporate Personhood.
The corporate media doesn't care anymore who knows as they have it all now. The Corporate Personhood is
now in stone without a crack in it.
As to "All men are created equal" I will say that this points up the constitutional amendment that was to bring equality to females but was never passed in this country.
Only 20 states have equal rights for women and that is becasue those single states passed ERAS of their own.
We not only have inequality for women under the federal law but we have corporations with their money bags buying Congress and with unlimited power in the market place as already three corporations control the media.

These coppers are in fact similar to Continental buttons without eyes; on the one side are thirteen stripes and on the other U.S.A. as was usual on the soldiers buttons."
