It's Music to our ears. Great acts are scheduled to perform in the Bayou City all throughout the year. Click here to get details of the shows and see what other musical acts are headed to Houston this year.
Spring can arguably be considered the best time to be in Houston: We don't have to deal with the rain and cold that we see during the winter nor do we have to risk a heat stroke when we head outdoors like we do during the summer.
It seems the folks who head up Houston's numerous festivals agree: this weekend alone, the Bayou City has several big-time events to chose from. (Bonus: Some are even free.) From tasting Australian wine in Kemah, to celebrating the Indian holiday of Holi in Rosenberg, you can catch a whole world of activities across Houston.
And if you prefer to metaphorically travel back in time instead of travel the world, a huge 80s band whose name rhymes with Smock of Smeagulls is playing a free event on the north side of town.
Take a look at the gallery above to check out all the festivals going on around town this weekend. Keep clicking to see the other funupcoming events in the Bayou City throughout the month.

Calculating murderer who preyed on gays: Terry Kirby builds up a picture of a man with a lethal wish to prove he was someone of consequence
Tuesday 21 December 1993
Mr Walker, 45, a respected assistant director of a West End musical, told the man he met in The Coleherne in Earls Court, south-west London, that he enjoyed being beaten up. The man, Colin Ireland, later admitted to being tense and nervous, aware something was going to happen.
It was Mr Walker's misfortune to have been picked up by a man on a carefully prepared mission to kill gay sado-masochists for no other reason than they presented a vulnerable target. Ireland made sure that there was nothing on him which would identify him; in the rucksack was his killing kit: cord, a knife, a pair of gloves and a change of clothing. Mr Walker was his first victim.
At Mr Walker's flat, and with his consent, the theatre director was tied naked to the bed and hit and whipped. Then Ireland took a plastic bag and held it over his victims' head until he lost consciousness and died. He then singed his victim's pubic hair, to see what it smelt like.
Ireland spent the night in the flat, mainly watching television, during which he discovered his victim was HIV-positive. Before leaving, as was to be his habit, he meticulously cleaned away all evidence of his visit; he threw away his clothes and the rope.
As a final touch, he stuffed knotted condoms into the mouth and nostril of his victim and placed two teddy bears next to the body in the oral sex position. It was, he later told police, an expression of disgust at Mr Walker's condition. He left during the morning rush-hour so as to be less conspicuous.
Two days later, Ireland telephoned the Sun newspaper and told a reporter that he was concerned that Mr Walker's two dogs should be let out of the flat. He added: 'It was my New Year's resolution to murder a human being.'
Before 1993 was half over, Ireland would have murdered five gay men in the same fashion and for the simple reason that he wanted to prove he could do it; that he was someone for the police to take notice of. But the telephone calls he made showed that, while he wanted recognition for his crimes, he also wanted to be caught. 'If you do not stop me it will be one a week,' he said.
The police struck problems: apart from rope-burn marks on Walker's wrists, there was little scientific evidence; it was possible the death was a bondage accident. More importantly, police were faced with an inquiry among a sub-group of people indulging in what some saw as bizarre practices, itself part of a community historically suspicious of the police.
Not only do gays accuse the police of victimisation and a lax attitude to investigating anti-gay crimes, but, the day after the body was discovered, the Law Lords ruled that sado-masochistic practices between consenting adults were illegal. Gays were concerned that, by co-operating, they could be prosecuted.
Ireland was not finished. When he was certain police interest in The Coleherne had diminished, he returned and Christopher Dunn, 37, a librarian, was later found bound and gagged, wearing a black leather harness and belts at his home in Wealdstone, north-west London, on 30 May. But detectives believed he died from accidental suffocation. There was no obvious link with the Walker case.
On 7 June, the discovery of the naked body of Perry Bradley III, 35, an American businessman, at his flat in Kensington, also failed to suggest a pattern. Ireland had used his noose on a man who kept his homosexuality secret. And more by luck than judgement, each murder was being investigated by different local teams of detectives.
That evening, Ireland returned to The Coleherne where he met Andrew Collier, 33, a warden at a sheltered housing complex in Dalston, east London. After handcuffing and tying Mr Collier to the bed, with his consent, Ireland demanded his cash cards. When Collier resisted he strangled him.
At Dalston, Ireland made two mistakes: during the evening, both men looked out of the window and he left a fingerprint on the frame that escaped the cleaning efforts afterwards.
Ireland also discovered that Mr Collier was HIV-positive and decided to express his disgust that he had not been offered a condom. He wrung the neck of Collier's cat, placing it on his victim's chest. The cat's tail was in Collier's mouth and its own mouth covered the end of Collier's penis; both the tail and the penis wore condoms. The similarities to the Walker death were obvious, but it took police several days to make the connection.
Ireland had killed three people within a few days; he realised he was out of control. He told police: 'I was reaching a point where I just accelerating. It was just speeding up, getting far worse . . . it was just like a roller-coaster effect.'
In a call to Kensington police, he claimed responsibility for the four murders, warning that he had to be stopped. Later the same day, he telephoned Battersea police station and asked: 'Are you still interested in the death of Peter Walker? Why have you stopped the investigation? Doesn't the death of a homosexual man mean anything? I will do another. I have always dreamed of doing the perfect murder.' Hours later, he returned to The Colherne.
On Monday 14 June, police confirmed that the Walker and Collier cases were linked and concluded that one man could be responsible for four murders; a repeat of the post-mortem examination on Mr Dunn revealed he had been strangled.
On Tuesday evening, before police could go public, Ireland telephoned Arbour Square police in east London: 'I have read a lot of books on serial killers. I think it is from four people that the FBI classify as serial, so I may stop now I have done five. I just wanted to see if it could be done . . . I will probably never re-offend again.'
In a flat in Catford, south-east London, police discovered the body of Emanuel Spiteri, 41, a Maltese-born chef. Mr Spiteri was also ordered to give his cash cards and their numbers and was then strangled with a noose. After a night in the flat, eating and watching television, Ireland set fire to it before leaving, but it went out.
Asked why, he told police: 'I once worked as a fireman. There is a bit of an arsonist in all firemen. I think there is something in me that's highly destructive, in some moods I would be quite happy to burn the world down.'
Police renewed efforts to build a working relationship with the gay community, but were still hampered by few scientific or identification clues. The victims provided the best avenue of investigation: police immediately mounted a surveillance operation at The Colherne.
Scotland Yard appealed for the partners and friends of the victims and other inhabitants of their world to come forward, if not to the police then to Galop, the gay group which monitors London police, where they would be assured of anonymity.
Galop appealed to all gays to be cautious over casual pick-ups. Police officers toured the gay bars seeking information; gay officers were eventually drafted into the inquiry. Walker and Collier were HIV-positive, raising the possibility that the killer was HIV and taking revenge on former partners or gays in general.
The overwhelming fear was the killer would strike again within seven days. Detective Chief Superintendent Ken John, appealed directly to him on the television: 'I need to speak to you. Enough is enough. Enough pain, enough anxiety, enough tragedy. Give yourself up.' He appealed to the media not to taunt the man, nor to do anything which might prompt him to kill again.
Then came their biggest break. Police established that Mr Spiteri and another man had travelled by train to Catford on the Saturday night. A number of descriptions enabled police to release a computerised image.
An exhaustive search of British Rail security camera film found the bonus prize - a picture of Mr Spiteri accompanied by a six-foot, heavily built man. The picture was blurred and the figure half out of the frame, but it was something they could put on a wanted poster and show to the gay community.
Some gays said they thought that they had met the killer; one said he had been propositioned by a man who told him he lived with his parents in Essex. The net had begun to close but was far from being tightened when, on 19 July, Ireland walked into his solicitor's office to say he was the man with Mr Spiteri, claiming that he had left him alive at his home with another man.
Armed with the fingerprint match, detectives charged him with the Collier murder. He 'crumpled', according to one detective, but maintained the denials for three weeks in prison.
On 19 August, he told police he wanted to confess; his confessions were frank and detailed, admitting responsibility without seeking mitigation and denying any particular grudge against gays. He specifically denied gaining sexual thrills from his killings.
Detectives said that he had gone to them with his initial story because he wanted 'publicity, but not punishment'.

Letters and Letters on Main Street U.S.A.
In the Magic Kingdom, it was the type of morning that the Disney Marketing Department dreams of with perfect blue skies and a sweet cool breeze to keep the Guests from smelling like tourists before lunchtime. The weather was not my first concern, though. I was on the hunt. I was searching the breadth and width of Main Street U.S.A. for one of its most famous citizens. There in front of the hot dog stand wearing a plaid and very dapper outfit, that would easily camouflage an extra wiener or hot pretzel between meals, was my quarry... Scoop Sanderson the Main Street Gazette Reporter. Always quick with a smile and a tip of his hat, Scoop was taking extra special notice of Pin Traders this morning because there have been some spooky going-ons due to the approach of Halloween a time when the spirits in the Magic Kingdom flow beyond their usual hauntings in Liberty Square.
There were certainly plenty of other Pin Traders on Main Street greeting Scoop on this morning. You see... we had been forwarded a special letter from Scoop via the Specialized Announcement Mail System for Daily Pin Interest News using Bulletins Leaking Updates, Predictions, and other Hoopla. Yes... it could certainly use a shorter name. Most folks just refer to it as the Daily Pin Blog, but there is also some debate in certain circles over the use of the term "Daily." Anyway, this communiqué from Scoop mentioned his recent chilling encounter with Spook Witherspoon who resides in the Haunted Mansion. Spook is apparently quite a ghastly ghoul who greedily gathered pins during his former corruptible life spent largely at a table outside Pin Traders at DownTown Disney. Now, Spook's pin lanyard was weighing heavily around his spectral neck. He was willing to bequeath his prized lanyard full of pins to one fortunate Pin Trader who could decipher his cryptic clues, follow the mysterious trail, and find the lanyard when it makes an appearance at exactly noon on October 25th.
Scoop's letter included the starting and startling clue.
Get the Genie - Get your wish!
Get Hop Lo from Chinese dish!
Stitch will be there on your list
But first there's got to be a Twist
Dumbo's gone - he had to fly
So don't forget his Little Guy.
Find five pins. (It takes ambition!)
The magic Spell's an apparition!
The key was to follow the clue "to the letter." It appeared that Spook was communicating to Scoop by using alphabet labeled pins in a Ouija Board fashion to identify Pin Traders who were selected to join the hunt for the ectoplasmic treasure. If the pins on your lanyard were mysteriously re-arranged to spelled out "GHOST," then Scoop would know to share the next clue with you.
Here we are, Pin Traders all, on Main Street when Scoop passed along the spirited sign to those who's spellings were true:
Look in the Confectionary!
The message was clear and so we walked (some scootered) right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A. to the next stop in our journey. The candy store became a sticky center of Pin Trader gossip as folks chewed on the clue and wondered what to do. The key this time was to follow the clue literally and look IN the store... through the window. I will not sugar coat it. I fudged a bit and only found the clue by noticing a cluster of excited people outside the window with minted smiles of satisfaction. There was a message from Scoop behind the window glass and only visible when you looked into the shop.
Extra! Extra!
Stop the Presses! It's time to get Started...
To find the pins from The Dearly Departed!
Go to the building you find on a farm
That houses a 3 letter word found in "CHARM"
Look 'round The Square I think you'll be glad
When you make your way to the
Horse Auction Ad.
LOOK through the Glass to get your next clue
In no time at all you'll know just what to do.
The message continued and even hinted at an additional pursuit for pins. But we had to move quickly to search out the next clue in the first puzzling pursuit. Again, Spook was channeling his message through specific letters in Scoop's letter. When you think of a farm building that houses something found in the letters of "CHARM," the answer was as clear as a ringing bell. HAM. Now, where we would we find a ham sandwich on Main Street? For eateries, there are the Italian place, the ice cream place, and... of course... farms have pigs... ham comes from pigs... pigs in a blanket are another name for hot dogs on a bun... it sounded as corny as a corn dog, but I headed back to Casey's on the corner of Main Street. Fortunately, the Dr. Watson to my suffering Sherlock reminded me of the CAR Barn next to the Fire Station on the Town Square. It was closer than Casey's so I humored my sleuthing buddy and crossed the street. From the front of the Car Barn, we could see a view that looked through the glass window in the door of the Fire Station. On the other side of the window was an ad for a Horse Auction, but more pressing was a note on the glass:
Attention Horse Traders!
Get Ready to Trade. It's going to be Dandy!
is what you want handy.
A pin with a ghost or a spirit or, ooh!
Just any old type haunted pin oughta do.
Here's what defies everyone's comprehensions
How do you trade when they've just 2-Dimensions?
Enough Exposition!
Your beckon and call
is GO! Make your way
to Pin Trade in the Hall!
A pin SIGNED BY ME!
That's what you're all after!
And soon they're be gales of
Loud cheering and laughter!
Even I could solve this riddle. The unseen forces of the season were sending us a message from somewhere beyond to seek the next clue in the Exposition Hall. I was quickly proved right as we scoured the Hall, and in a back corner, we discovered a not-quite fully dimensional pin lanyard next to this note:
Greeting Pin Traders!
Please be here to trade with me at eleven a.m.
That's the hour when all my pins materialize in 3-dimensions!
To Play Spook's Lucky Lanyard Pursuit,
Please be ready with a pin that's in keeping
with the "Spirit" of the Season!
Pin Traders continued to file into the Hall. With time to spare until the appointed hour, Pin Traders did what comes naturally. They started trading to pass the time and, I believe, in hopes of keeping some evil spirits from chasing us away and ruining the fun. There was still the matter of that additional pursuit which called for completing sets of pins. Several Traders decided to work to complete their alphabet series as 26 seemed like a "great" number for a set.
At eleven o'clock, Scoop appeared to applause and cheers. He produced from his satchel a fully dimensioned and real lanyard of great pins to banish the ethereal pins from the space. Most of these special pins were from Spook Witherspoon's own collection. Spook had even signed the backs of all his pins in a desperate hope that he could take them with him into whatever realm awaits Pin Traders after they have made their final trade in life. Let this be a lesson to Traders everywhere... it did not work. You can't take it with you... not even pins.
Everyone who had correctly deciphered the clues and followed Spook's instructions to the letter, got to trade for one of his pins. There was lots of excitement to see so many grand pins available for trade. The Traders stepped lively through the line, and still Spook taunted and haunted us with a final, challenging clue:
Hot Off the Presses
The hottest spot here on old Main Street at Noon
is INSIDE and YOU have to get there REAL SOON!
At the exact time, somewhere Scoop will appear,
And who gets Spook's Lanyard at last will be clear.
LOOK OUT! PLEASE don't BLOW it!
And PLEASE DON'T GET BURNED!
Just LOOK through the glass
Another puzzle to solve, and still there was more promised fun as the message continued:
The FIRST to present Scoop a
Will NOT be the ONLY PIN TRADER TO WIN!
In Fact, the fun Pin Trading will then just begin!
Where to go? And it had to be quick! We would get only one chance to exorcise and own the lanyard of pins when it fully materialized at High Noon on Main Street. You really had to be at the right place and at just the right moment. It was a hair raising wait as the minutes ticked by. But, I think the passing time took the biggest toll on Scoop Sanderson. I still believe in those final moments before noon, Spook Witherspoon was still trying to be greedy and keep his hold on his precious lanyard. For it seemed that Spook's spirit took possession of Scoop and tried to lead him away from the fated spot where the pins and lanyard could depart the spirit world forever. It could be the only explanation. Just before noon, there were reported sightings of Scoop near the Fire House of Engine Co. 71 and some even claimed to have seen Scoop riding the Trolley Line up Main Street (while setting his watch to the Main Street clock). Even now, I cannot say for sure where Scoop was or if he was truly under Spook's control. I cannot say because I was busy passing the time in the Glass Blower's stand where the heated glory holes and blazing furnaces made it Main Street's hottest spot.
Unfortunately, I failed to understand the last clue completely. I should have realized that most of the previous clues required a Pin Trader to look through glass as one would look through a ghost. I was standing inside the glass shop, but I did not "look through the glass" to see the spot where Scoop wearing Spook's lanyard would finally appear. Then right at noon, there was Scoop, there was the lanyard, and there was a Pin Trader named Brian getting to the spot first and presenting one of Spook's signed pins. The "spell" was complete, the pursuit was over, and Spook had returned to regions beyond.
The best part is that the fun for the Pin Traders was not over. Scoop Sanderson gathered all the folks for a chance to do more trading and win some pin prizes with correct answers to trivia questions about the upcoming "Princess and the Frog" animated feature. Scoop produced a special lanyard with more great pins just for trading and awarding. There were cheers for the winners and everyone got a chance to win or trade. It was also a fun time for people to chat with old pin friends and make some new friends, too.
On a final note, we congratulate the successful, spooky, pin hunter. Hopefully, the winner of Spook's "lucky" lanyard is not superstitious and will ignore the rumored curse this lanyard carries. The story just might not be true that tells how Spook was strangled with his lanyard during a pin trade gone awry.
Happy Halloween to All! See you at the next(?) day of fun pin games and pin pursuits.

Category: baby boy names
Two-syllable baby names ending with the letter n have dominated the boys' popularity list for several years now. The Top 20 for boys includes sex such choices: Mason, Ethan, and Jayden, Aiden, Jackson, and Logan. And when you add in all the spelling variations of these trendy boys' names, the count leaps much higher.
It's easy to understand why these names are so popular for boys. They're strong yet unconventional, at least compared with traditional boys' names such as William or James. They sound good with many last names. And the two-syllable n-ending genre includes many different types of names, from the Biblical (Ethan) to the surname (Mason and Logan) to modern inventions such as Zayden.
Everything you need to know about boys' baby names, from A to Z.
While A is the second most-popular first initial for boys' names (and the most popular for girls'), the real news is the rise in both the letter a and the a sound at the end of boys' names. Think Joshua, Elijah, and Number 1 Noah.
Swedish parents were fined for naming their son Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, which they pronounced Abin. The name runs counter to Swedish naming laws, which rules that names cannot cause offense or discomfort.
Charlie, short for the traditional male name Charles, was given last year to 1551 boys' in the US…and 1315 girls, making it one of the most equal opportunity unisex names.
Last week we asked you to name your favorite classic name for girls; now it's the boys' turn.
What's your favorite classic boys' name? Do you prefer one of the classic classics such as James or William or a fashionable classic such as Henry or (thanks to England's young prince) George?
There are quiet classic boys' names such as Robert and Richard and John, no longer quite in style yet undeniably classics. And then there are trendy names such as Noah and Sebastian that may or may not qualify as classics in your book.
What's your very favorite classic boys' name? And yes, sure, you can mention more than one.
One of our favorite fantasies here on Nameberry is to name imaginary families. Today's challenge: Tell us what names you'd choose for two brothers.
A classic pair like Henry and William? Or a stylish duo such as Sebastian and Jasper?
Two boys' names with matching initials? Traditional family names, or maybe a modern androgynous pair?
And how do your feelings about raising boys and boy name trends today factor into your decision?
By Linda Rosenkrantz
When you think of classic boys' names, chances are that the first three that pop to mind are John, James and William. Of the three, William is, much like female counterparts Elizabeth, Mary and Margaret, probably the richest in its multiplicity of variations, nicknames, girl versions, etc. Here's a rundown of the main man and his manifestations.
William—For four hundred years, William was second only to John as the most widely used name in the English-speaking world, and even now is the fifth most prevalent boys' name in the US, given to almost 17,000 baby boys last year. With Germanic roots, William was introduced to England by William the Conqueror, and has long been a royal name in that country; it has belonged to no fewer than four US presidents and countless notables from Shakespeare to the present popular high-profile prince.

Flybe says it has increased its passenger numbers in the fourth quarter
The group said it flew six per cent more passengers in its fourth quarter to March 31 at 1.6 million, despite a four per cent reduction in capacity.
Bosses added it has already sold a fifth of seats for the summer season, up from 17 per cent a year earlier.
Loading article content
Flybe has been axing jobs, closing regional bases and reviewing routes under a major cost-cutting programme to stem losses after slumping into the red by 23.2m amid higher fuel costs and a declining domestic market.
It is focusing on larger sites in its network, expanding its service from Birmingham, but is closing a base at Newcastle International Airport, with bosses previously warning there could be up to 17 redundancies at its North-East operation.
It is also closing sites at Inverness, Aberdeen, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.
However, it will continue to fly at the airports.
The group said the new routes had seen better-than-expected demand so far, with more than 30 per cent of seats already sold for summer.

As far as I understand, implicit conversions can result in potentially hard to understand code, or code suffering from other problems (perhaps even bugs?), which is why they require explicit enabling in order to be used in code without getting warnings.
However, given that implicit conversions are in big part (if not most of the time) used for wrapping an object with an object of another type, and so are implicit classes—I'd appreciate you correcting me if I'm wrong—, why do the former require the import of
scala.language.implicitConversions but the latter do not?
object Main extends App {
implicit class StringFoo(x: String) {
def fooWithImplicitClass(): Unit =
println("foo with implicit class")
// => silence.

println("foo with implicit def")

Nine teenagers attacked two French tourists with wooden rods, water pipes and knives at the intersection of Dundas and Tung Choi streets in Yau Ma Tei at 6am. The men, 21 and 23, were said to have stared at the group earlier in a McDonald's in Sai Yeung Choi Street South. The 23-year-old man required hospital treatment and was later discharged. No arrests have been made.

Phoenix Suns
Suns Strokes: Phoenix falters late against Orlando
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 98-90 loss to the Magic on December 9.
The Good:
Shannon Brown scored 10 of his team-high 17 points during a 19-4 run midway through the third quarter that saw the Suns take a 67-61 lead with 4:16 remaining in the quarter. Brown extended his season-best streak to six consecutive double-digit scoring efforts.
Jared Dudley, meanwhile, reached double figures in scoring for the fifth time in his last six games.
The Bad:
The Suns seven-game losing streak is the team's longest since 2003-04, the season before Steve Nash returned. As a result, head coach Alvin Gentry canceled the team's off day Monday. He'll have his club practice, a rarity following back-to-back games.
The Suns allowed a Magic team that was 28th in the league in scoring (91.8 points per game) and 20th in shooting (32.6%) to light up the scoreboard for 98 points on a season-best 51.9% shooting.
He Said It
"We played well for maybe three quarters and then we stopped," Marcin Gortat said. "We didn't compete. We didn't play hard enough. We are not playing tough enough."
� Goran Dragic (sick) and PJ Tucker (knee sprain) did not play.
� Suns fell to 0-5 on the second night of a back-to-back this season.
� Suns in their last two games have allowed better than 60 percent shooting in the fourth quarter (63.6 percent by Clippers and 64.7 percent by Magic) while getting outscored by a combined 23 points.
Up Next:
The Suns (7-15) host Memphis (14-4) on Wednesday, December 12 at 7:00 p.m. MST

The Nine Coaches
- Hall of
Worthy, But Not Quite | Hall of Maybe |
Hall of
the Very Good
- 2013 College Football Hall of Fame Class
- Follow us ...
By Pete
The College Football Hall of Fame is sort of a strange bird.
It's not like the other halls of fame, which are usually cut and dry when it comes to the selection process. The debates around the voting for the baseball and pro football halls are usually about whether or not a very, very good player should be in or not, but some selections are no-brainers with no questions asked.
Peyton Manning and Greg Maddux are going to be in their respective halls of fame, but it's not so obvious for some of the greatest players in the history of college football. Instead, very good players and coaches from eras gone by tend to pop up and get on the ballot, and sometimes, all-timer, slam-dunk legends don't get in.
I get a vote, and to me it seems relatively easy. In my world, if you win a Heisman Trophy it should be enough for an automatic in. If you were one of the most accomplished players at your position during your era, you should be in. If you did things no one in the history of the sport was able to do, you're in. But it doesn't seem to work like that, and the 2013 class proves that. Former Baylor quarterback Don Trull seems like a fine gentleman, but is he reallty a Hall of Famer over Rocket Ismail, Brian Bosworth and Eric Dickerson?
Getting into the historical side of college football
is always tricky since the sport dates back to the
1800s and has changed so drastically and in so many
There's the race issue, with African-Americans not playing a role in some areas of the country until the 1970s. There's the style issue, with the forward pass not becoming a big deal at some places until the last 20 years or so and with the invention of the spread changing the statistical nature of the game. And
over the last few decades the NFL is playing a role. Deion Sanders would've been long gone to the pros if he was eligible as an early entry, but back in the late 1980s he had to play his senior year at Florida State, won the Thorpe Award, and went from being an all-time great to an unquestioned legend.
Not only do voters have to take into account all the different eras and all the different aspects of the game's evolution, but there's also the criteria to deal with.
According to the National Football Foundation, to shorten and sum up the criteria:
1. A player has to have been a First Team All-American on a list recognized by the NCAA.
No Joe Montana.
2. He's eligible ten years after his final year of playing.
3. Post-career citizenship is factored into the voting, and an extra boost is given to those who earned a degree. Lawrence Taylor: Not in. O.J. Simpson: Still in.
4. Players must have played within the last 50 years. So to be eligible for the 2013 class, the player had to have finished his career by 1963.
5. A coach is eligible three years after retiring or if he's older than 70, and active coaches are eligible after age 75. He had to be a head coach for at least ten years and had to have coaches at least 100 games with a .600 minimum winning percentage.
No big deal, right?
Okay, so explain why the ten players listed below weren't in the 2013 College Football Hall of Fame Class. I'll argue why they should've been in.
The Top Players Who Should've Been Included in the 2013 Class
10. Jim Otis, FB Ohio State (1967-1969)
A consensus First Team All-American in 1969, he was even better a year after leading the team in rushing on the way to the 1968 national title. On the Ohio State All-Century Team, he led the team in rushing all three years for a team that liked to throw the ball as much as it liked wearing Maize and Blue. After starting the 1967 season 2-3, the Buckeyes won 24 straight games with Otis being the main man earning team MVP honors in 1969. The juggernaut of a 1969 squad was better in the regular season than the 1968 team, but the great run ended with the classic 24-12 loss to Michigan.
9. Tony Boselli, OT
One of the prototype offensive tackles of the 1990s, Boselli was a two-time First Team All-America in 1992 and 1994, and he even fit in the academic mold earning 1994 NFF National Scholar-Athlete honors. While he might not have been the star lineman of his era with Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace setting the tone in college as well as the pros, he deserves to be considered among the elite of the elite as a dominant force for the Trojans.
8. Tony Franklin, PK Texas A&M (1976-1978)
It's this simple; Tony Franklin might be the greatest kicker in the history of college football. A three-time All-American, he belongs in the Hall simply for doing things no player has ever done. The barefoot star had a cannon for a leg, setting the NCAA record for the most field goals made from 50 yards or more, nailing 15, and set the record for the most career points scored by a kicker with 291. In a strange twist to his underappreciated career, he set the record for the longest field goal with a 65-yarder against Baylor, and later connected from 64 yards out to become the only player to ever hit two 60-yarders in one game, but Abilene Christian's Ove Johansson blasted a 69-yarder on the same day to quickly take over the record for the longest boot.
7. Lorenzo White, RB Michigan State (1984-1987)
The greatest running back in Michigan State history, leading the team in rushing for four straight years, he was also one of the greatest backs of the 1980s. An All-American in 1985 and 1987, he finished his career with 4,887 yards, 43 touchdowns, and 23 100-yard games as the ultimate workhorse. Considering bowl stats didn't count in the record books back then, he was a 5,000-yard back helped by his 113-yard, two score game to lead the Spartans to its only Rose Bowl win since 1955. Most impressively, when MSU needed a win to take the 1987 Big Ten title and get to Pasadena, he carried the mail 56 times for 292 yards to beat Indiana.
6. Tom Cousineau, Ohio State (1975-1978)
One of the greatest linebackers in the history of a
program that's loaded with great linebackers,
Cousineau held the school record with a whopping 211
tackles in 1978 and came up with 569 career stops. A
two-time First Team All-American and a three-time
All-Big Ten performer, he was a peerless hitter and
a huge name and star for some fantastic Buckeye
teams that went to the Rose Bowl in 1975, the Orange to end the 1976 season and the Sugar in 1977.
5. Raghib (Rocket) Ismail, WR/KR Notre Dame (1988-1990)
Arguably the most electrifying players in college
football history, or at least in the team photo, he
holds the distinction for coming up with the
greatest play of all-time that didn't happen.
Looking to seal up the national title in the
1991 Orange Bowl, Colorado was looking to ice the game late,
but the Irish D held tough sacking QB Charles Johnson twice to knock the Buffs back to their own 47-yard line with 43 seconds to play. Waiting to return the kick was Ismail. Colorado had to kick the ball out of bounds didn't they? Nope.
Tom Rouen kicked it high in the air to the Rocket at
the nine. He somehow navigated his way through
traffic and busted loose up the right side going
91-yards for a touchdown and ruining Colorado's
dream season - except for the flag bringing it back on a phantom clipping call.
He was a good receiver, catching 72 passes for 1,565 yards and four scores, averaging 21.7 yards per grab, while running for 1,015 yards and averaging 27.6 yards per kickoff return with five scores and 13.4 yards per punt return with a score.
4. Mike Ruth, NG Boston College (1982-1985)
One of the key components to getting into the College Football Hall of Fame is character. Ruth almost became a priest and was known for his impeccable commitment to his values. He hit hard times since then, but there's no denying his greatness on the field or his uniqueness at the time. Despite dealing with a slew of injuries throughout his career, he was the most dominant defensive tackle of the 1980s with a 1985 Outland, 29 career sacks, and 344 tackles while working on the nose. Quick as a flash and unbelievably strong – as legend has it, benching 560 pounds – he was always active, always producing, and always unstoppable.
3. Derrick Thomas, LB Alabama (1985-1988)
Normally it works the other way. Too often a mediocre college player gets retroactive credit for a great career after becoming a dominant pro – Johnny Unitas is front and center on that list. In the case of Derrick Thomas, not only was he a Hall of Fame pro player, but he was among the greatest pass rushers college football has ever seen. The 1988 Butkus Award winner was the defense star on four straight bowl teams destroying everything in his path, setting the NCAA single-season record with 27 sacks while finishing his career with a whopping 74 tackles for loss.
2. Eric Dickerson, RB SMU (1979-1982)
Okay, so there was that whole SMU Death Penalty thing, and there was the slimy, slick recruiting issue that got him to the school in the first place
- which he won't talk about in any way - but on the field he was as electrifying and as special as any back to ever carry the ball. Despite splitting carries with Craig James in the Pony Express, he still broke Earl Campbell's record for career rushing yards by a Southwest Conference runner with 4,450, to go along with 48 touchdowns while averaging a whopping 5.6 yards per carry. A unanimous First Team All-American in 1982, he finished third in the Heisman voting while closing out his career with a second SWC Player of the Year honor.
1. Brian Bosworth, LB Oklahoma (1984-1986)
Bosworth is an interesting case because of his admitted steroid use, but if he's left out because of that, then the history of the era has to be rewritten – and that might not be a bad thing. On the field, The Boz was brash, arrogant, annoying and a total and complete bust as a professional football player. He taunted opponents, fans, and the NCAA with his headbands, hairstyles and colorful comments. And along the way he might have been the greatest inside linebacker of all-time. Behind all the gimmicks and all the self-promotion was a peerless tackler making 395 tackles in three years including a school record 22 in the 1986 classic loss to Miami. The model of consistency he made 128 tackles in 1984, 131 in 1985, and 136 in 1986 earning consensus All-America honors in 1985 and 1986 and becoming the first ever two-time Butkus Award Winner.

US: Over 80 lawmakers call on Obama administration to end gay blood donation ban
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
note that no doctors or medical scientists signed.
The ban on gay blood donation, whether we like it or not, is a valuable screening that makes blood products much safer. The majority of gay people do not have blood bourne illnesses, that has never been at issue and nobody is accusing anyone of that. But the incidence is nevertheless high among sexually active gay men. Excluding them plus other easily defined groups with high incidence dramatically increases the safety of blood transfusion but substantially lowering the indicdence of infected blood batches. This is necessary because the diagnostic screen sometimes misses infected batches. So, if there are far fewer infected batches to start with, then the likelihood of one being missed is very very substantially reduced.
So, why do we not test every single batch for presence of HIV – ie viral or antibody detection? Because both cost so much that it would make the gathering of safe donated blood totally uneconomic.
in the USA at least, every blood donation is tested twice separately. the bags have only a bar code as an identifier of who gave the bllod
The biggest danger is from people who might give blood and not admit they had unprotected sex with strangers, so the ban is stupid and homophobic.
BTW per the USA center for disease control,, poor women with multiple partners are virtually identical to gay people in terms of the rate of infection.
Just checked and yes they do now test for antibodies and the virus itself so I stand corrected. The only reason i can see them keeping the gay ban in now is to maximise the undiscarded batches and frankly that is not a good enough reason in my books.
It would be far better to get people to consider a) whether they know they have a blood born illness or b) whether they have recently put themselves at risk and then encourage them to consider not donating rather than having an explicit ban.
Then ALL men should be on the list – NOT just Gays – All men can have HIV not JUST Gays! There are approx 34 million people World Wide Living with HIV – you trying to tell me All of them are GAY Men??
it is the simple matter of incidence. The overall incidence for the US population is 0.7%. Of that percentage more than half of those with HIV are gay men and the gay community has an incidence rate of around 30% (hard to pinpoint as the exact size of the community is hard to gauge). If you therefore exclude gay men, even if there are one or two who lie or cheat, you are already more than halving the whole populations risk in the bloods gathered from 07% to 0.3%. Now in blood safety terms that is HUGE difference and it can be achieved at zero cost.
and if you narrow it down to poor black women, the HIV rates are astronomical. So, bloods, you pushing the Obama administration to ban poor, black women from donating blood?
If not, you're just another bigot spouting fake science.
BTW, this was a petition specifically targeted at Congress-critters. The list of medical organisations who have called for an end to the ban is rather extensive.
Actually, poor Black women have much lower rates than Gay men. Those with high rates are Sub-Saharan Africans, and the ban extends to them and anyone who's had sex with them. Liftiing of the ban should extend to all banned groups by the same token.
i think you will find that anyone with a connection through visiting or having sex with someone from Haiti or from sub saharan africa are also excluded.

Every microproject is intended to use the donations it receives in accordance with its stated description; however, it is
important to provide project leaders with the flexibility to maximize the potential benefit from the donations they receive.
This means that your donation may be used as a part of the main project that supports this microproject, specifically Build Healthy Relationships in100 Rwandan Couples.
In this event, the project leader is required to post an update to the microproject detailing the results and reasons behind
this change.
If you or any other donor is unhappy with the way their funds have been used, he or she can reallocate their donation using the
GlobalGiving guarantee.
This project is no longer accepting donations.
