Asbestos Health Related Issues
Highly Trained Personal Injury Asbestos Attorneys
Asbestos lawyers at Arentz Law Group, P.C. are highly experienced in personal injury litigation, and we can help victims of asbestos exposure recover the compensation they deserve. Asbestosis is a rare disease that is a direct result of asbestos exposure, and many people who have asbestosis were exposed to asbestos at work. When a person inhales asbestos particles, those particles become embedded in the lungs. This can cause scarring and hardening of the lungs, which makes it difficult to breathe and causes a dry, raspy cough. If you have been diagnosed with asbestosis, you have been exposed to unsafe levels of asbestos and you may be entitled to substantial compensation from the party or parties responsible for your exposure. Contact an asbestosis lawyer today to learn more about your legal rights in free consultation and review of your case.
Treatment of Asbestosis
Mild cases of asbestos may be merely inconvenient, but a severe case of asbestosis can be deadly, leading to possible heart and lung failure. If a person has asbestosis, he or she also suffers from a weakened immune system, so he or she is more likely to suffer from illnesses such as the flu or pneumonia.
Asbestosis, like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other diseases associated with asbestos exposure, is best treated when diagnosed at an early stage. While there is no cure for asbestosis, treatments such as oxygen therapy or breathing therapy can help reduce asbestosis symptoms and enhance patient comfort. It is crucial that asbestosis patients are not smokers, as their lungs' ability to function is already compromised.
Symptoms of Asbestosis
Asbestosis is often diagnosed because it is a rare disease and because the symptoms of asbestosis may not present until decades after exposure to asbestos has occurred. What's more, asbestosis symptoms often mimic those of other illnesses such as pneumonia. Common symptoms of asbestosis include:
- Dry, raspy cough
- Difficulty breathing
- Loss of appetite
- Shortness of breath
- Pain or tightness in the chest
- Crackling sounds when breathing
- Fatigue
Contact an Asbestosis Attorney
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with asbestosis, you have the right to hold the party or parties responsible for your exposure to asbestos fully responsible for your financial, physical, and emotional damages. In an asbestosis lawsuit, attorneys can help you recover compensation for medical bills, pharmaceutical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering, along with other damages. Contact an asbestosis lawyer at Arentz Law Group, P.C. to get more information in a free legal consultation.

Mike Waldertwrote a review of Rome Whiteroom Splitboard on December 6, 2013
Great at getting up and getting down.
Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have a 158 Whiteroom that I use on the East Coast and enjoy it. I run Voile pucks with Blaze bindings. I find that the board takes zero adaptation from my groomer board when I'm out on it in the powder; I believe that is thanks to the rocker nose of the powder S camber. I've been happy with the uphill performance both breaking trail, in established tracks, and on snowmobile/snow-cat tracks. I tried a fully rockered split previously, and it was a little scary in tour mode on the slightest bit of packed snow ~definitely a fan now of the S camber for touring. Weight is low on the decks as well...

very neat :)
Thanks for taking the time to post what apps you are using. Much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing, I added a few new ones from your list and took a second look at some of the older ones. I'm always torn between certain apps that do similar things:
When I see a cop do I want to add it to Trapster or Waze? I love Waze and am glad to see them continuing to grow!
When I arrive at a location, do I check in with FourSquare (through Waze?) or Gowalla?
Dan: I check in with both. :-)
And, yes, I do tell everyone when I see a cop on Trapster (usually) and Waze (sometimes).
I'm slightly surprised you don't have Bump. Or did I miss it in the crowd?
Agree on that.
StarToe: I have Bump now.

Magic, Machine, Money: Shadowrun Funded
Mother Nature's angry wrath spent the weekend attempting to tear many trees and buildings from the surface of England through careful application of furious winds and lashings of rain, which led to me spending the entire weekend indoors, occasionally peering through a trembling pane of glass. It is imperative that this week begins with merriment and what better way to bring cheer than to watch the developers of Shadowrun Returns celebrating their Kickstarter success, clearly exhausted, clearly passionate and perhaps still vaguely bewildered as to what has happened in recent times. It's a useful reminder that for all the talk about this model of funding, the 'ifs', 'buts' and 'far too manys', it's still OK to be excited from time to time.

Take home a piece of western heritage.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is holding a wild horse and burro adoption this weekend at the J.S. Bridwell Agricultural Center. The event is a prime opportunity for people to participate in the management, preservation and protection of wild horses in the west, said BLM Public Affairs Specialist Paul McGuire.
"The wild mustang is a unique breed of horse. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. It is unique to the western landscape and is a product of the American experience," he said.
The adoption program was started after the Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act was passed in 1971, McGuire said.
"The focus of the law is to maintain wild horses as fixtures of the western landscape, to preserve them as living symbols of our western heritage," he said.
The BLM was put in charge of managing the herds of mustangs that are spread out across 10 states in the western part of the United States, and this entails periodically culling the herd to prevent overpopulation, he said.
"We conduct a census of the various herds we manage, and when the population exceeds a certain threshold, then we will gather a certain amount of animals from the ranch and then make those animals available for adoption to the public," he said.
Since 1973, the BLM has placed more than 217,000 horses in approved homes across the country.
The BLM will bring about 90 horses to this weekend's event, McGuire said.
The animals will be available for viewing noon-6 p.m. Thursday. Doors open at 8 a.m. Friday, with the adoptions running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. that day. Adoptions will continue 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. Saturday and 8-10 a.m Sunday.
The minimum adoption fee is $125 per animal.
The BLM kicks off the process with a round of competitive bidding to determine adoption fees for animals that are sought by more than one person. Following the single round of bidding, adoptions will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
"We have a dynamic mix of animals. Half will be younger, probably yearling horses, and the other half will be older, from 2 to 5 years old," he said. "They'll be about half male, half female. They'll also be a good number of burros as well, probably 10-20."
Some of the horses come with gentling and training, provided through a partnership the BLM has with the Hutchinson Correctional Facility in Kansas.
"We will have a handful that will have been trained by inmates involved in a rehabilitation program at a correctional facility," he said. "We have a partnership with HCF where these inmates work with these horses. It not only adds value to these animals, but it also benefits the inmates, helping to build life skills. It's a very effective partnership."
While the most of the mustangs are wild, this shouldn't be confused with an inability to be gentled or trained, McGuire stressed.
"Although it is a mixed breed, it possesses all of the characteristics that one might look for in a horse — strength, agility, endurance, and probably foremost, intelligence," he said. "It has to develop these characteristics for survival in the wild. The intelligence is what makes these animals so highly trainable. A lot of people have the misconception that mustangs are wild beyond any kind of handling, but nothing could be further from the case."
The adoption is only one facet of the full slate of activities scheduled at the BLM's 13th Annual Wild Horse and Burro Expo this weekend.
A noted horse trainer will also give gentling demonstrations, pulling horses out of the adoption pens and working with them. Vendors will also be on hand offering a variety of wares and equine booths will offer information.
"The centerpiece of the expo is a professionally judged horse show that we put on, free of charge, for our past adopters," he said. "It's an opportunity for these mustang adopters to come together and showcase their animals and to build community amongst themselves . . . to show pride in the animals. It's a program we put on to say thank you."
All events are free and open to the public, McGuire said.

Look Under Your Frame!!!
some bike have a creep under the frame near the bashplate...
nothing dangerous for driving but just for bashplate...
in italy the dealer make a TIG reparation... in germany some CHANGE ENTIRE FRAME...
Do you mean a crack in the frame?
yes.. :cry
Hi everybody,
I have discovered (or better the Sommer mechanic discovered it).
Here you are
My new frame is arrived last week and the next I'm going to change it.
In the picture the break is simply to note because there is a TIG on it but it is very difficult to see. You can find it touching the part with a finger.
Hope none of you could find it
Best regards
Critical point of breach chassis
Thanks to, wittman, barbasma and the fine folks at http://www.tenerside.it/tecnica010.php
Translation: This disadvantage has been found on the construction chassis vintage year 2003, I say construction and not registration.
If from the booklet of circulation not succeeded to go back to the year of construction of the motion you transcribe your number of chassis and makes it you to visionare to your concessionaire KTM of confidence, it will be in conditions for going back to the vintage year of construction.
Premetto that in occasion of this defect guarantee KTM has answered with the substitution of the chassis.
In the photo the point of breach of the chassis is visible, hour is present a welding that has been executed before the participation in guarantee, if not a lot were the welding probably the cracking would not be visible.
In order to notice it could be sufficient to pass the hand over, to eye often is not visible, sight the paint job of black color.
The critical zone is situated in the skillful side (side posterior brake) under to the footrest in correspondence of the attacks of the cavaletto centers them (than on this present motion not e') close to a bolt that fixed the motor.
The leak of the chassis does not happen on mounting or the crib but if watched under the footrest side brake you will see the posterior attack of the slab fixed bumper with an embedded bolt if moved a po' behind (with the look) you will find a ring of the fixed chassis with a bolt. Such ring has a thickness much small (said 5/6 milimeter) breaks off the advanced part of this ring well.
It seems that the chassis is broken off for via of the slackening of the bolt (consequent to the vibrations). In order to tranquilize the the 950 minds of Adventure in the new chassis the thickness e' be increased and the bolt e' different.
Yeaaahh! That's what I thought it said! :lol3
There is definiitely a smartassed response to this--I'm just not quite sure where to start.
Just like an owl !
Hope it doesn't contribute to your (deservedly) foul mood, but I checked this morning and found no crack on my bike's bottom. Like an owl.
Relievey Stevie in Austin.
I am just curious if anyone checked their frame? Or if owners just aren't concerned enough to worry about it? (Other then Stephen and myself, I don't know of anyone else in the USofA that has commented on this one way or the other.)
From what the Italians are telling me, they have had a number of cracked frames! Not sure on the German's, but it sounds like they have as well. (The crack in my frame was VERY hard to see, and I do this kinda stuff for a living.) My bike has 10,5k miles, Stephens wasn't cracked and has similar mileage.
Mack do you have any photos of your cracked frame?
James, Seen from the side, the crack in my frame is identical to the pics in this thread. Mine continues up into the radius and up over the top, angling back and aft into the plate. (Might have pics, not sure the cheap borrowed digicam focused well enough, if so I'll send them to you.)
Got a new frame for my LC8, 10/2003, 45000km.
The welder finished today, I'm very happy with his work, he did a bang up job. I'll need a longer bolt for the centerstand, but the TT skidplate and motor are business as usual, fit perfectly. (He welded both sides, and added a triangular doubler.)
Now to finish the updates, valve adjustment, and get the motor back in. Yee Haw. :ricky
Checked mine and no crack. :thumb
I join you in your happiness. For now, of course :O :eek1

WrestleMania is coming up very soon and inevitably talk will include the return of The Undertaker. In the last few years around WrestleMania time, a big part of the buzz for the show has been about The Undertaker's streak. It is the only thing in wrestling that is currently legendary. Sure legendary character's still remain like Ric Flair, Stong and Triple H, but the have all far gone past

Was it genius, or just poorly executed?
Whatever the case, the angle has now started.
And another thing, it has garnered a reaction, which is what everything is all about anyway.
Where I think Jericho is going with this is somewhere unique. This is an interview taken earlier this year in which Chris candidly talks about his career and his future. He wants
Two Fallen Heroes, The Rise of Anti-Authority, Gang Warfare, Crude Behaviour and downright crazy stuff were just some things that summed up the attitude era.
1997 was a rapidly changing time in wrestling. Suddenly WWF was blown out of the water and was an inferior product to the once corny looking alternative version of WWF for most wrestling fans, WcW. Wrestling began to hurdle towards
John Cena's "heel" faction
Cena's heel turn should be very subtle, as in the way he is already kind of a heel now in some ways. He should get to a point where he is basking in the heat that his good guy gimmick creates. One thing to tip him over the edge. End Rey Mysterio's career. He already acts like a good guy, but he should end "his friend" Rey's career
I am an attitude era veteran. I loved wrestling back then so much, that I still love it now.
I have been gandering (aka hanging around) internet wrestling sites now for about 10 years. The attitude era was such a massive success that for me anyway I was vastly interested in it when away from the TV screen.
It can attribure that the AE was such a resounding success

Now first of all for the know it alls let me get one thing straight - I didn't watch much wcw. I thought it was crony, and when it was the new cool thing to like I thought it was even more corny hence my only 2 or so years away from living the product. So I guess I'm a bit of a WWE Mark, like it or not.
The US Championship first gained prominence in the
Rocky Maivia's calamitous reign was ended by Owen Hart on an edition of Raw in 1997. It was about time that Owen Hart was in possession of the IC belt, he had been a long standing top level performer already. The fall out from his feud with Bret Hart propelled Steve Austin into a feud with his brother Owen and inevitably the intercontinental title scene.
The Intercontinental Championship was second only to the world championship in the early years of the World Wrestling Federation.
The Maiden years from Pat Patterson's win in Brazil which started off the intercontinental title saw rare changes apart from a few from the same pack. It was possessed by respected veterans such as Pedro Morales (a former WWWF Champion), Don Muraco the original
SummerSlam 2001 was the first PPV of the whole new era of the WWF (Ahhhh, good old WWF). It came right on the heels of the dawning of the Alliance storyline that seemed to split people down the middle. Alot of people were negative, and I can see there point, but Vinnie Mac had no obligation to "big up" WcW, but thats for another blog.
SummerSlam 2001 was a solid PPV. For all
The end of an era in many ways. This was the first Mania to be held outdoors, some icon's would never again or make a WrestleMania appearance for some time and some future icon's would stamp their mark on the end of a classic period and be new stars. This ladies and gentlemen, was WrestleMania 8, coming from the Hoosier Dome in Phoenix.
Ah! The good old days. Vince McMahon screaming

Southwestern Historical Quarterly
Longstreet's Aide: The Civil War Letters of ThomasJ. Goree. Edited by Thomas Cutrer.
(Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1995- Pp. 239. Introduction,
notes, index. ISBN 0-8139-1574-0. $27.95.)
In 1861 Thomas J. Goree, a young Texan from a wealthy plantation family
with important political connections, traveled to Virginia to be in the first battle
of the Civil War. He was accompanied by Benjamin Franklin Terry, Thomas S.
Lubbock, and John A. Wharton of Texas, plus Maj. James Longstreet, who had
just resigned his commission in the United State Army to accept a commission
from the Confederacy.
Goree arrived in time for the first battle, but his associations quickly secured
for him a staff position. Initially he was appointed to the command of Brig. Gen.
P. G. T. Beauregard as an independent scout, but on July 18, 1861, he was
named a volunteer aide on the staff of his traveling companion, Brig. Gen.
James Longstreet. Goree served for the rest of the war on Longstreet's staff and
witnessed at first hand the personalities, politics, and operations of the Army of
Northern Virginia.
Tom Cutrer's Longstreet's Aide is an edited and annotated collection of Goree's
wartime correspondence, mainly letters he wrote but including some written to
him; the travel diary that he kept from June 26 to August 6, 1865; and Goree's
postwar correspondence with Longstreet and other Confederate commanders.
Much of the material that appears here was published in a limited printing of
two hundred copies in 1981. Cutrer offers a more accessible version that
benefits greatly from his annotations. While Goree's literary skills left the editor
with little to edit, Cutrer's notes offer valuable information on individuals men-
tioned in the manuscripts and amplify or explain the historical context of the
The materials presented here contain much information on the war from a
staff officer's perspective. His position made it possible for him to see and reflect
on the broader aspects of campaigning. His ability to write allowed him to share
his perceptions in clear, well-developed descriptive style. Goree's writings also
provide considerable insight into their author, mirroring the attitudes of a
youthful Texas aristocrat, including his disdain for Virginia cavalrymen. Only
the unfortunate disappearance of Goree's letters from the Second Manassas,
Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Suffolk, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and Knoxville
campaigns mars an otherwise marvelous collection. This book will be of interest
to anyone interested in the Civil War or in the role of Texans in the conflict.

Encourage your Child to get Fit !
Children who are physically active have fewer chronic health problems than their sedentary counterparts, they are less likely to become obese and they have a stronger self-image and more self-confidence.
Fitness for kids can be free play or organised:
Free play occurs when children play with each other, invent their own games, rules etc. It can take place in the house, garden, schoolyards, playgrounds. Adults are normally not involved in free play.
Organised fitness activities should be designed to encourage all children, no matter what their ability, to participate in fun activities that promote health. Children should not be forced into exercise. Instead the activity should be exciting and motivating so that the kids are eager to participate for their enjoyment.
Fitness for Younger Kids
For children aged 5 - 7 years, fitness is achieved through organised games e.g. P.E. at school, gymnastics, Fit Kid clubs, mini basketball etc. The activities need to be fun, motivating and stimulating. The children need to succeed and have lots of variety and challenges. Activities such as running, throwing, kicking, skipping, e.g. all round exercises are excellent with plenty of variety and intensity of movement.
A positive image towards fitness needs to be introduced and encouraged at this early stage. Children need ample encouragement accompanied by small rewards to bring about a sense of achievement e.g. all children at the end of a summer camp receive a certificate of achievement, a T-shirt etc.
Children aged 8 - 11 years of age are at their best age of learning. A child's speed agility and endurance are at the greatest rate of improvement. They develop a keen interest in sport, a love of an activity and an increased ability to learn athletic skills. Therefore children should be encouraged to participate in a variety of sports, getting a taste for each and choosing for themselves. The sport should be adapted to the child before the child is adapted to the sport.
Most children of this age will participate at 2 -3 different sports. They join teams and compete at events. They learn how to cope with success and failure. Through fitness, children learn how to mix with others of their own age, learn how to obey their coach, develop their personality and intelligence. The benefits of fitness at a younger age are endless.
Not all children are enthusiastic about organised or conventional sporting activities. Don't despair if your child is not into sport as there are lots of other ways to motivate your child.
Here are just a few examples:-
Gwen completed her studies at Waterford RTC where she obtained a BA Honours Degree in Recreation & Leisure Management. In 1997 she completed a course in Health Related Fitness for Children - Fit Kid - in Manchester. As manager of Skibbereen Sports Centre, Gwen ran Fit Kid classes for local children. She also ran an extensive Summer Camp Programme for children aged 3-16; Gwen was recently appointed Project Worker with Foroige in the Beara Peninsula.

There's just something about a man in black. I'm not talking about the MiB kind, rather the, "Up front, there ought to be a man in black," kind. The good guys don't always wear white and black shows a mystery and worldliness that women love. Guys, well, they just like black because it's subtle.
You like it. He likes it. Black is just the perfect gift for a guy. Here are some gift ideas for your mysterious mate that won't break the bank: Shirts
A black t-short or a black button down…either makes a great gift for the man in your life. When shopping for an item like this, it's best to do it in person if you can. Giving a gift that just has to be returned through the mail is no fun for anyone. Instead, hit the clearance racks at Kohl's, Target and TJ Maxx. These are the best stores for discount men's clothing.
It's hard to get a man out of his favorite pair of jeans long enough to check his size. But once you have it, check out the same places you'd go for the right shirt. Some other good options include the clearance racks at Gap, Old Navy and, believe it or not, Sears.
What's better than a splash of black that can do cool stuff too? While you're not going to find the latest iPhone cheap, you can find some affordable alternatives on the Android market. Motorola Bravo is one great Android phone, but there are many others. Visit Amazon's wireless store for the best savings.
Prepare your man for the cold months with a black jacket or winter coat. Amazon is by far the best place to get something like this new, so check it out. You might also have a clothing outlet nearby like Burlington Coat Factory. Check a few places to find the coolest black coat for your man.
Black leather gloves are just the epitome of cool. Cat burglars, racecar drivers, spies and secret agents all wear them. Driving gloves, winter gloves or work gloves, take your pick. He'll love them in black.
Some men wouldn't be caught dead in a scarf. Make it black and it's a subtle, functional accessory. Even the manliest of men won't mind that. He may even grow to like it.
Regardless of what item you are purchasing for your guy or for what occasion, men typically respond best to cool colors such as blue and green or a neutral black. Black is a great, basic color that works with almost any style, so you can be sure that any gift you give him will be well suited.

Sorry if this is old news.
Most of you probably know that your Soldier ID is linked to your Origin ID and cannot be changed. That means if you made your Origin Login name something stupid like "xXMilky_goatnipples420Xx" that will be your Soldier's ID in-game. And you can never change it.
But wait. You can!
First download EA's Scrabble app on your Android or iOS device. Yeah, Scrabble, the crossword game.
Log in to your origin account within the app
Click on the Gear icon (was in the lower left on the Android version) and update your Origin details.
Voila! You now have a new Origin ID. Note: If your name is already taken it will give you an error message. Now you can finally make your name way cooler like "[420]SSJ_TreeBlazer_666<(*_*)>!"

Craft projects to make using Postcards
A postcard or post card is a rectangular piece of thick paper or thin cardboard intended for writing and mailing without an envelope. There are novelty exceptions, such as wood postcards, made of thin wood, and copper postcards sold in the Copper Country of the U.S. state of Michigan, and coconut "postcards" from tropical islands.
In some places, it is possible to send them for a lower fee than for a letter. Stamp collectors distinguish between postcards and postal cards. While a postcard is usually printed by a private company, individual or organization, a postal card is issued by the relevant postal authority.
The study and collecting of postcards is termed deltiology.

Cavalcade of Whimsy
Part 2,
Nov. 27, 2012
Pete FiutakFollow us ...
- Nov. 27 What should be the Big
Ten's next move?
The C.O.W. airing of the grievances followed by the feats of strength
It takes a big man to admit he was wrong, and I am not a big man. However, needing to own up to my mistakes and slight miscalculations, welcome to my annual piece entitled, "Okay, Cunningham, I was wrrrrrr."
10. Western Michigan & FIU
Let's get the non-BCS misfires out of the way so we can move on to bigger and better things. With all 11 starters returning on defense, FIU was going to win the Sun Belt title with ease after starting out the season with a win over Duke and by challenging UCF on the road and Louisville at home. One 1-8 start later, with the lone win coming in overtime over Akron, the Golden Panthers went on to finish just 3-9 getting Sun Belt wins over South Alabama and Florida Atlantic.
Meanwhile, I spent half the summer pumping up Western Michigan to be what Kent State has turned into. Instead, unlike the Golden Flashes, the Bronco team loaded with veterans and blessed with a nice schedule couldn't stop turning the ball over and the defense couldn't seem to come up with a meaningful stop.
9. "Braxton Miller isn't going to last the season and Ohio State is dead if he misses any time."
When I asked Urban Meyer what Plan B was if Miller got hurt, he looked me in the eye, shrugged, and curled up his mouth as if to say, "I really don't know, and if that happens, we're sort of screwed." When the unthinkable happened and Miller went down against Purdue, Meyer had an answer in Kenny Guiton, who saved the dream season by leading the way to an improbable overtime victory. Miller bounced back and took shot after shot – getting particularly beaten up by Cal – on the way to 227 carries. He lasted though the Michigan game by getting down when he needed to, but he was never afraid to power for the hard yard. Now he knows the Meyer offense, and next year the Heisman hype will be off the charge in what should be another special season – if he can stay healthy.
8. Oregon State
The Pac-12 North looked loaded. Oregon was Oregon again, Washington was rising, Cal appeared to be improved, Stanford looked to be solid and Washington State was going to be dangerous with Mike Leach taking over. Thrown in a non-conference game against Wisconsin and a road trip to BYU, and the Beaver team that went 3-9 in 2011 with one of the nation's worst run defenses and an even worse running game wasn't going to go anywhere, right? There's no shame in losing to the Ducks and the Cardinal this season, and Washington came up with a nice performance in its home win, but overall the Oregon State defense improved by leaps and bounds on the way to a phenomenal year. The running game still stunk, but the offense stopped giving the ball away so much and the results came. Mike Riley should get consideration for taking a 3-9 team to 9-3 after this week's layup against Nicholls State.
7. Auburn
Yup, I bought in. I thought that Gene Chizik's terrific recruiting class following the national title year was about to mature, and while I didn't think the Tigers were going to win the West, with the lone road games at Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt before the season-ender at Alabama, and with a nice four-game home stretch late in the year, I really and truly believed 9-3 was possible with an outside shot of screwing up LSU or Alabama along the way. Maybe Paul Rhoads is available for an interview.
6. Army
Armed with experience and a light schedule, Arms was supposed to translate the expected resurgence into wins and a bowl appearance under terrific head coach Rich Ellerson. The idea was that the rushing offense was going to be so good and so dominant that it could make up for the problems and concerns on defense, and it did its job, leading the nation by a whopping 41 yards per game over the No. 2 rushing team. Only four other offenses – Air Force, Georgia Tech, Oregon and New Mexico – averaged over 300 rushing yards per game, and the Black Knights averaged 370. However, the passing offense was dead last in the nation by a mile and the defense and special teams weren't even close to being decent. Stony Brook held on to the ball for over 38 minutes in a 23-3 win, and blowout losses to Eastern Michigan and a slew of other MAC teams didn't help the cause. There were victories over Boston College and Air Force, and the season can still be a success to a certain extent with a win over Navy in a few weeks, but going 2-9 wasn't in the plans.
5. California
This was going to be the season that Jeff Tedford made a comeback. His teams were close to being good over the years, but the Bears weren't quite able to get over the hump and lacked the ability to come up with a really big win. This season they got a huge victory with a blowout over UCLA, but that was about it for the fun with a miserable five game losing streak to close out the year. Particularly galling considering Tedford's ability to coach an offense was its inability to score; the Bears came up with more than 17 points just once over the final five games and just six times all year.
4. "Teams that might disappoint"
Arkansas was on the preseason list of teams that could potentially disappoint, and so was Hawaii, NC State and SMU. However, there's a solid chance that five of the teams that could end up in the BCS. Notre Dame was only on the list because of the schedule that looked far more brutal before the season than it does now, and no one saw Stanford hosting the Pac-12 championship after losing Andrew Luck and two of the best offensive linemen in college football, Jonathan Martin and David DeCastro. And yeah, I did get it right that the Rutgers defense would be awesome and the offense would stink, but it has hardly been a clunker of a campaign with the Big East title there for the taking against Louisville this week. "How are the Huskers going to be any better than 9-4?" Taylor Martinez upped his game in a huge way and the team managed to gut its way through close win after close win.
"No one gets on the right side of every close game two years in a row." Nine of Kansas State's 13 games in 2011 were decided by a touchdown or less, going 8-1 in those tight battles. All the Wildcats did was come back even tighter and more impressive – there wasn't much need to come through in the clutch with just two games decided by seven points or fewer. The Baylor game aside, K-State has been remarkable on the way to a probably 11-1 record, an outright Big 12 title, and a Fiesta Bowl appearance.
3. Penn State QB Matt McGloin & Wisconsin QB Danny O'Brien
When the Penn State players were being courted and recruited this offseason, after Matt McGloin said he was staying I asked without a hint of snarkiness whether or not he'd be the starter for any BCS conference team. And why not? Penn State's passing game was miserable in 2011 with McGloin completing just 54% of his passes for 1,571 yards and eight touchdowns with five picks – and three of those scores came against Eastern Michigan.
Meanwhile, I thought Wisconsin came up with a major score when Maryland transfer Danny O'Brien spurned the Nittany Lions to try taking the Badgers to another Rose Bowl. No one thought O'Brien was going to be Russell Wilson, but he was supposed to be a rock-solid game manager who'd be the perfect fit for an offense that only needed him to hit the third down throws.
O'Brien wasn't awful in his first three starts, but he wasn't decisive and he wasn't moving the offense. Joel Stave quickly took over, and when he got knocked out for the season, Curt Phillips ended up taking over. Meanwhile, a reasonable case could be made that McGloin should've earned All-Big Ten honors after a brilliant year. With little talent around him after the defection of Silas Redd and Justin Brown, McGloin threw for 3,271 yards and 24 touchdowns while scattering a mere five interceptions and running for five scores.
2. South Florida
With 17 starters returning to a team that lost five games by a touchdown or less including three in heartbreaking fashion, this was supposed to be the year all the breaks were going to go the right way. This was supposed to be the year Skip Holtz was going to take the Bulls to a whole other level. Nope.
Considered to have the right coach at the right program at the right time, USF was going to bust through a mediocre Big East and become a major player in a showcase season for the bigger, better conferences. Instead, after a promising 2-0 start and a nice road win over Nevada, the defense, particularly the pass defense, decided to take the rest of the year off with just two picks while getting torched time and again. Meanwhile, the offense was wildly inefficient and strangely ineffective on the way to a 3-8 record and a 1-5 Big East season. Playing the spoiler role for Pitt's bowl eligibility isn't exactly what the team had in mind going into December.
1. The Heisman race, No. 2 through 10
I was absolutely dead-on right in my call to take The Field in the Heisman chase, reasoning that RG3, Cam Newton, and even Mark Ingram to some extent came from out of nowhere to win it all. Of course, a Johnny Manziel/Manti Te'o/Marqise Lee battle was well off the radar, but there was some thought that Braxton Miller or Collin Klein could be in the mix. But that's a cop-out – most of the other nine candidates weren't even close.
I was right about Le'Veon Bell becoming a monster. He was No. 10 on my preseason list, and I wasn't crazy with Geno Smith at No. 9 or Marcus Lattimore at No. 8. I took a called third strike on Knile Davis and seven and Tyler Wilson at six, while Denard Robinson, Montee Ball and Landry Jones all failed to get close despite having terrific seasons. Matt Barkley was everyone's preseason favorite and was No. 2 on the list, and he's not even going to be in New York.
So what does it all mean? Next year, if you think your team might have a Heisman candidate, no matter how far-fetched it might seem, he probably has a chance.
Random Acts of Nutty … Provocative musings and tidbits to make every woman want you and every man want to be you (or vice versa) a.k.a. things I didn't feel like writing bigger blurbs for.
- Arkansas State is 8-3 with a shot at a ten-win season with a win over Middle Tennessee and in a bowl. Gus Malzahn, your one-year apprenticeship is up. You're going to get a call from the big leagues.
- Does Illinois have a guy in mind? There's no way the school is going to get stuck with a bunch of bad Tim Beckman paper, and there's no way the place will go through an exhaustive public coaching search without having all the ducks in a row. Don't be shocked either way regarding Beckman's future.
- Please, will everyone learn that Gary Patterson and Chris Petersen aren't interested in leaving their respective schools? Neither one is making any noise whatsoever about wanting to change jobs.
- I looked, and you're a better man than I am – not hard to do – if you can find a team that has lost three overtime games in four weeks like Wisconsin has.
C.O.W. shameless gimmick item … The weekly five Overrated/Underrated aspects of the world
1) Overrated: Kent State going to the BCS … Underrated: Northern Illinois going to the BCS
2) Overrated: "I'm taking my talents to South Beach."… Underrated: "We're going to South Beach!"
3) Overrated: Stanford against UCLA last week ... Underrated: UCLA against Stanford this week
4) Overrated: The all-conference teams released this week ... Underrated: Waiting until after all the games have been played

"If it were me, I'd bet everything. But that's me. I'm an aggressive gambler. Mr. Vegas. Come on. Go for it. Go for it. Yes, yes, there we go. I'm in."
… 42-26 ATS on the year. And thus concludes the Double Digit Home Dog portion of the program. Now it's on to the big games.
- UCLA +9.5 over Stanford
- Oklahoma State -4.5 over Baylor
- Georgia +7 over Alabama
- Texas +11.5 over Kansas State
Sorry this column sucked, it wasn't my fault … I won a national championship two years ago and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
