COLUMBIA Last season, South Carolina finished with its best record ever, 11-2, by beating one of college footballs most storied teams, Nebraska, in the Capital One Bowl. This season, the winningest program in the sports history stands in the way of USC again going 11-2.
It was revealed Sunday that USC will play Michigan in the Jan. 1 Outback Bowl at 1 p.m.
No. 19 Michigan (8-4, 6-2 Big Ten) doesnt have a bad loss. The Wolverines have fallen to No. 1 Notre Dame (12-0), No. 2 Alabama (12-1), No. 3 Ohio State (12-0) and No. 23 Nebraska (10-3). The Wolverines lost by seven points to Notre Dame and by five to Ohio State.
This bowl matchup is all the more intriguing when you consider No. 11 USCs losses are to No. 4 Florida (11-1) and No. 9 LSU (10-2).
USC is 1-1 all-time against Michigan, with both meetings coming in the regular season. In 1980, USC won 17-14 at Michigan. In 1985, the Wolverines won 34-3 in Columbia.
The 1980 game turned out to be one of USCs most significant wins ever. It was USCs fourth game that season. Michigan was ranked No. 17. The Wolverines finished 10-2 and ranked No. 4. That remains one of USCs three wins ever in 50 games against teams that finished in the top 5.
USC coach Steve Spurrier knows a matchup with Michigan carries more weight than a date with Northwestern in the Gator Bowl. That was the Gamecocks other postseason option. But Northwestern will play Mississippi State in that game.
Northwestern is a heck of a team, Spurrier said. They easily could have been going to the Rose Bowl. But if you beat Northwestern or you get beat by Northwestern, you dont achieve quite as much (as you do) by playing Michigan. When you play a team with the stature, the tradition and the reputation of the University of Michigan, its something special.
This is USCs fourth trip to the Outback Bowl. The Gamecocks went after the 2000 and 2001 seasons and beat Ohio State both times. They returned after the 2008 season and 31-10 lost to Iowa to finish 7-6. (The Outback Bowl was previously known as the Hall of Fame Bowl and was held in Birmingham, Ala. USC appeared in that game once, losing to Missouri in 1979.)
Since the 2008 Outback Bowl, USC is 30-9.
I really believe we are a completely different team than we were four years ago, Spurrier said. I think our team is a more mature team.
Michigan is in its second year under coach Brady Hoke, who has a defensive background and was previously was the head coach at Ball State and San Diego State. The Wolverines went 11-2 and 6-2 last season, and beat Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl. Hokes older brother, Jon, was Spurriers defensive coordinator in his final three years at Florida (1999-2001).
The Wolverines are known for their defense and athletic senior quarterback Denard Robinson. They rank No. 11 nationally in total defense, No. 2 against the pass and No. 58 against the run. Robinson has run for 1,166 yards and seven touchdowns this season and thrown for 1,319 yards, nine touchdowns and nine interceptions, while completing 53.6 percent of his passes.
I dont know if weve faced a guy quite like him that can throw and run and do what he does, Spurrier said.
While Spurrier is impressed by Robinsons skills, he spoke in reverential terms about former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, one of college footballs legends. Spurriers favorite line from Schembechler is one he read in Schembechlers book in 1991, Spurriers second season at Florida, when he was trying to finesse his way through games.
Running teams are tougher teams, the line read.
I havent always lived by it, Spurrier said. Probably should have. Ive reverted back to it recently here at South Carolina.
NOTE: Spurrier said USC wont start pre-bowl practices for another two weeks, probably. He said Connor Shaw will enter the practices as the No. 1 quarterback despite missing the regular season finale at Clemson with a sprained left foot. Trainers are treating him very gingerly right now, Spurrier said, adding that he expects both Shaw and Dylan Thompson to play in the bowl.

Students at Texas A&M are remembering September 11th by flying Old Glory and reflecting on the events of 11 years ago.
It's the 5th year that the Texas Aggie Conservatives have organized the flag display on campus. Students can plant a flag in the grass outside the Academic Plaza. Monday night, nearly 3,000 flags were placed to remember those who died.
"It's really awesome to see, you know, everyone who is really moved by the display," said Texas A&M student Marc Pitts.
"Some people are moved to tears, they can barely talk. Some people just sit out here a long time and reflect. There's just a great sense of pride and patriotism and you know everyone wants to come out here and just honor those people that gave the ultimate sacrifice," continued Pitts.
Organizers say that by the end of the day there should be around 9,000 flags in the Academic Plaza to represent the men and women who have died while serving our country since 9-11.

I read somewhere that Ralph Roberts was mentioned in 11/22/63,but I can't find it.I have only looked in the Derry section though to be honest
If anyone has seen this please let me know where.It would be very much appreciated
The only connections I could find were that when Ralph and Lois save Patrick Danville (amongst others) from the burning building.Patrick says to his mum "Look Mama!"..."Angels".And when Jake phones Harry's sister back in the present after his botched attempt at saving them all,she says "Harry said it was his good angel"
Also,most of the times when Ralph,Lois,Clothos or Lachesis use the portosan portal there always a wino about (Yellow Card Man?)
If anyone knows of any other connections between these two books I'd be very interested to hear them

Agile project management is as radically different from traditional project management as agile processes are different from traditional methodologies. Rather than plan, instruct and direct, the agile project manager facilitates, coaches and leads. This person is called a ScrumMaster in the Scrum agile process to denote the difference and remind the person filling this role of the new responsibilities. Accepted participants learn how to be a ScrumMaster and how to make a development team, a project, or an organization agile. Exercises, case studies, and examples used to bring home the realization of how to be a ScrumMaster instead of a project manager.
Each individual is trained to be able to assume the following responsibilities:
Remove the barriers between development and the customer so the customer directly drives development;
Teach the customer how to maximize ROI and meet their objectives through Scrum;
Improve the lives of the development team by facilitating creativity and empowerment;
Improve the productivity of the development team in any way possible; and,
Improve the engineering practices and tools so each increment of functionality is potentially shippable

This week, we had the privilege of having Robert Scoble and FastCompany.TV visit the GoGrid offices here in San Francisco. (Believe it or not, it was actually the second time they visited within a month, but due to some lost footage, the interviews and demos had to be re-shot.) FastCompany.tv is a Business Video Network that not only brings business video content to viewers solely via the Internet, but the content itself is raw and very dynamic (more about FastCompany.TV here). In his interviews, Robert brings a meld of technology and personalities. His videos frequently are with key players of prominent businesses and corporations as well as startups and Web 2.0-ers, and he really seems to enjoy showcasing the technology and the people and ideas behind the technology.
In our interview, we really wanted Robert to understand the power of Cloud Computing and the GoGrid vision therein, especially from the perspective of a Cloud Infrastructure provider. As expected, Robert was well versed and up-to-speed on "all things Cloud" and had hands-on experience setting up datacenters so grasping our concept of the "cloudcenter" was extremely easy (as you can see in the video).
Below is the interview between Robert, John Keagy (CEO – GoGrid) and Randy Bias (VP of Technology Strategy – GoGrid). The video is also available on the FastCompany.TV site.
Be sure to watch through the video for a challenge that we are having with Robert!
I also took some pictures from the original filming a few weeks ago.

Apple files to ban Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in U.S.
Late last week Apple filed a preliminary injunction against Samsung's flagship tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The move comes shortly after an appeal which partially confirmed that Apple's design patent infringement complaint was valid. This might put just a slight damper on the settlement talks Apple and Samsung had scheduled for today. Apple proposed to give Samsung until May 25 (this Friday) to respond.
Such a ban might sting Samsung a bit, but they've dealt with a similar ban in Germany by offering a slight a redesign of the Galaxy Tab 10.1; even if such a ban comes quickly to the U.S., Samsung already has a contingency in place to put their Android tablet back on store shelves. We've seen a lot of this kind of activity on the smartphone side of things lately; HTC was recently hit with a similar ban from Apple, and Apple might not even have to do anything to get Motorola phones off the U.S. market, since some of them are facing a ban after an ITC ruling in a patent case against Microsoft.
Although the iPad still dominates the tablet market, it's been gradually losing market share as a multitude of Android tablets have begun coming out of the woodwork. By attacking on legal fronts, Apple is at least delaying the competition's progress, if not securing its lead for the long-term. I'm not worried that Android's going to beat out Apple overnight, especially given the sky-high customer satisfaction of iOS devices, but it's hard to imagine how the current iPad will manage to stick out to consumers when surrounded by so many lower end, cheaper alternatives. (
What do you think - does Apple need to resort to these kinds of tactics to keep the iPad in the lead, or is this just one of the many steps needed to take to kill and bury Android?

Apple files to ban Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in U.S.
Apple should focus on making their products better rather than squabbling over patents. If you've ever spent time on a Galaxy Tab 10.1, you know that it's nothing like an iPad. Did Apple patent the rectangular tablet?
I'd rather them spend their billions on researching awesome new additions to their products, rather than on court cases.
That's what Samsung is always doing. R&D. Now there Graphene Barristors are developed, we can expect to see Graphene based Chips in about 8 years. Woot! I love my ipad 2/3 btw
I think Apple is trying to destroy clones and copy-cats for Jobs - it's very clear based on all stats and surveys we have that consumers still want and enjoy their iDevices more than Android users do so that isn't the primary concern. I think it's almost a moral matter than anything else at this point.
Still makes me wonder what idiot thinks they look alike. Similar I'd go for, but not even close to identical. iPad has a 4:3 screen resolution next to the 16:10 screen resolution of the Tab 10.1, that alone is a glaring difference.
Packaging may be pretty much the same, but there are only so many ways to can package something efficiently.
Just my 2 cents...
Yes, Apple needs to defend its intellectual property rights. For themselves, and for any other individual or organization that has intellectual property to defend. If Apple can't protect their hardware and software designs against copying, then who can?
Re: "Although the iPad still dominates the tablet market, it's been gradually losing market share as a multitude of Android tablets have begun coming out of the woodwork. "
Just the Kindle Fire really. And sales of the Fire have dropped significantly.
Re: "If Apple can't protect their hardware and software designs against copying, then who can?"
But is it really copying though? Does Apple own the rectangular tablet? How else should a tablet be designed? Software-wise, Android 4 (ICS) is very different from iOS. Sure, they are similar, and Android has borrowed things from iOS that work, but iOS has borrowed elements of Android (think notifications).
I just think that Apple should focus on innovation, rather than being a patent troll. They have the means to really push the industry forward - Android isn't going anywhere and these patent wars are a waste of valuable time and money.
tablets essentially look like shrunken down tv's...lol you dont see tv manufacturers suing because another tv is rectangle because thats and obvious shape for a tv now just like the obvious shape for a tablet is a rectangle...what apple have been doing is patenting anything that is obvious or anything that has prior art but wasnt patented because somethings just should not be patentable....like i said until i hear of a day when someone buys a tab and thought it was an ipad then for me apple have no case.
Sometimes no matter how right you are, you have to stop and see is it really worth it. Spending all your efforts, and money to put Android out of business is not logical. You may win, but how much damage have you done to your company. Courts as a rule prefer you to litigate. If a Judge has to rule, no matter how honest, and unbisas, their is still a personal feeling toward both parties involved. You are taking a chance sometimes. Look at pass rullings. Sometimes for, sometimes against. If you really want to beat the competition, make something better. The old saying "build it, and they will come" is true, but build it better, and all will come, makes more sense.

The Fort Dorchester volleyball team defeated Irmo 3-1 Tuesday to advance in the state playoffs.
The Patriots earned a 25-13,25-14, 23-25, 25-18 win to advance to the second round for possibly the first time.
"We haven't done that since I've been the coach and I don't think we have done it at all, at least not since we've been a 4-A team," Fort Dorchester coach Tarshie Burrell said.
Fort Dorchester jumped ahead early in the first two games to cruise to victory. However, Irmo played like a team that didn't want its season to end the rest of the match.
"It was a challenging match," Fort Dorchester captain Meghan Sanders said. "We lost our intensity for a little but then we picked it back up and played well. Now we just need to keep playing as a family and go all-in during our practices and matches."
The third game saw many ties but the Yellow Jackets finished strong for a two-point victory.
After a 15-15 stalemate in the fourth game, Patriot junior Kira Ozegovich found some holes in the Irmo defense to lead the Fort to a seven-point victory.
Junior Monica Mack led the Fort scorers in the match, knocking down 12 kills and contributing a few blocks for points. Ozegovich finished with six kills and five scoring blocks and senior Jasmine Quinn had five kills, three scoring blocks and two service aces. Junior Amanda Gluck and senior Kristen Lodge also had strong nights offensively.
Fort Dorchester improved to 25-5 on the season with the win and hosted South Aiken for a second-round match played Thursday after press time. South Aiken up set Carolina Forest to advance.
If the Patriots won Thursday, they will travel to the winner of the Aiken/West Ashley match for the third round Nov. 5. Burrell says her strategy for the remainder of the playoffs is to get her team's focus on executing the things it does best rather than attempting to counter what the opposition does well.
"I research the teams we are going to face but I don't talk to my players about them much because if you put too much emphasis on what another team does it can psych your players out," she said. "We just go into every match with an open mind and expecting things to be level."
Both the other Dorchester Two volleyball teams were eliminated from the playoffs Tuesday. Ashley Ridge lost to West Ashley and Summerville lost to Wando.

I rarely post about topics that don't have too much to do with Google, but there's a little-known music player that deserves some recognition. MusicBee is a powerful music player and music organizer for Windows that helps you auto-tag your songs, find lyrics and album pictures, create smart playlists with related songs from Last.fm, convert songs and much more.
MusicBee manages to combine the best features from applications like iTunes, Windows Media Player or Winamp, while adding a lot of useful features that aren't available in those popular media players. For example, you can automatically fix the tags for all the songs from your music library with just a few clicks.
MusicBee has a great Last.fm integration: it automatically scrobbles the tracks you play, it lets you import your loved tracks and your playlists, it has a cool feature that imports Last.fm tags and there's also an option to sync play counts with Last.fm.
The application supports tabs and it includes a Mozilla Gecko-based browser that lets you read information about the songs you're currently listening and download songs from music blogs.
Besides the extensive support for music formats (MP3, WMA, Vorbis, AAC, FLAC), the application converts music files from one format to another and synchronizes your files with many portable devices, including iPod and iPhone.
MusicBee is probably the media player that integrates with the most popular music-related web services and the nice thing is that it's constantly improving. Steven, MusicBee's only developer, is open to feedback, sometimes implementing user suggestions and fixing bugs in less than a day after they're posted. It's amazing to see that the first version of the player has been released in December 2008.
The downside of including a lot of features is that the application might look cluttered and some features are difficult to find, but that's a small price to pay.

Woman wins discrimination suitJune 15,2013Woman wins
discrimination suit
MONTPELIER A Vermont woman has won a lawsuit saying she was discriminated against by her employer based on her gender and age.
The federal court ruled that because a man can negotiate a higher salary than a woman, that doesnt mean a salary difference is justified.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Wendie Dreves of Grand Isle, who managed the Hudson News retail store at the Burlington International Airport, successfullysued the Hudson Group.
U.S. District Court Judge William Sessions concluded that any gap in the pay of men and women is an implicit statement to our children that we value the work of our daughters less than that of our sons. He said it sends a message that Congress, the Vermont General Assembly, and Court reject.

Hello to all of you!
First off, please allow me to say it's a pleasure to meet all of you. My name is Steve Soderquist and I am an author of horror/fiction. I do have a book out but to be blunt, it is sincerely no longer in length than a short Novella...but hey, published..lol
I really look forward to perusing out this site and seeing what guys and gals are discussing here. If Mr. King stops by, then by all means I really hope he checks out my lil' tale.
There are three subsequent novels to follow, the next being a book called 'Farm House' that is set in Michigan. Basically, a very insane young girl whom has her way with pretty much everyone else in the house.
When I did my press release for the first novella, I included Bangor, Maine as well. Believe me... that took some guts. I don't want accolades, per say... but a few words of encouragement never hurt, either. As I was a musician for most of my life, I understand well how the words of a fellow artist can effect.'
Anyhow, it again is a pleasure to meet you all. Looking forward to meeting you :-)

Catherine, your study of the horses is great. Thanks for sharing
Sarah, very nice watercolor landscape. Nice texture of the mountains and tree line.
C&Cs always welcome
Sarah, this is perfect, it looks just like where my step daughter lives in BC, in the mountains. Your shading shows how rugged the mountains are and I like how the snow is in and around the evergreens. And the valley spreads out below in it's many colours. Lovely.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Sarah, what a beautiful mountain scene. I agree it looks like BC.
Catherine, Great horse studies. I'm always so impatient to do studies. But, Sam is right studies pay of.
Judy, what a wonderful portrait and ready to post on the 2nd of january, very impressiv.
C&C always welcome
Catherine ~ Thanx for sharing your sketches of the wild horses. They are coming along nicely - horses are hard to depict!
Sarah ~ Another lovely WC from a Master Watercolorist! The trees are magnificent! Your landscape says so much with so few brushstrokes.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Thank you for the comments on the landscape.....I'm sure it is just on the border (give or take a few hundred miles! ) of Canada/USA. I didn't want to post another Scottish scene.
Not up to Olympic standard Bonnie.....watercolour on HP paper.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Sarah, this is wonderful. The background looks exactly like our limestone bluffs. The children are so colourful and cheery having a great time on the outside skating rink. Your figures are always so well done, their different positions perfectly depict a fun skating scene. I learned to skate on a backyard rink my Dad used to make and sometimes we hiked down to a frozen pond and your painting brings back so many good memories. The neighbouring children would come and we all had such fun.
So glad it pleased you Bonnie and brought back good memories. All were imaginary figs!
Taking a break from painting my next 'Challenge'...the light is so bad here and as I only paint by daylight I don't think I will be able to do any more today.
Sarha I forgot to comment on your last post I am not too much for landscapes but found that one very pleasing. It reminded me of a scene from Heidi. Your skaters are well done also. The figures are all very well prepotioned and show a lot of movement. Well done
C and C always welcomed
Thank you Geri.....I prefer most subjects to landscapes. Figures I find fairly easy as I have drawn them from a very young age and attended many life drawing courses. Studied anatomy for artists too..We may all have the same basic skeleton but it is what we cover it with which matters..!!!!!!!
Sarah you can see all your studies come through in your work. Fantastic. Your skaters have so much movement and character.
I had a go at the sun coming through the snow. I wasn't feeling good any of my results, but then I was playing with Photoshop filters while waiting for a download and came up with this.
It looks like something out of Lord of the Rings.
C&C Welcome
Shelley very nice picture of the tree. The sunlight looks so warm and inviting. This is my aattempt at the other tree. I am off on the values but great practice.
Shelley, your digital piece of the sun shining through the branches has a real mystery to it. All the different colour areas outlined in dark gives it the appearance of being done in ink.
Karen, great work on the snow laden maple tree. You captured the dapple shading on the branches very well and the colour of the snow on the branches with the sunlight up high in the tree and the shadows lower. Very nice.
Sarah Shelley & Karen ~ All three are great winter scenes and each has its own style. I like them all.
Good to see everyone is keeping busy with their art, whichever medium they choose!
Shelley, what a fine abstract of the sun and snow on the trees. Great textures and patterns. Nice mix of cool and warm colors.
Karen, your snow covered tree is looking good. You captured the essence of the tree with beautiful colors. It looks like this may be done with pastels. Is it? What size is it?
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome

Being a site for storage and possibly recycling of the nation's spent nuclear fuel could be in the future of the Savannah River Site, and a presentation Thursday may offer a blueprint.
The Governor's Nuclear Advisory Council is scheduled to hear a presentation from Areva Federal Services Technology Director Paul Murray on "Interim Storage and Recycling of UNF (Used Nuclear Fuel)."
SRS is one of many sites with some level of interest in temporary storage facilities being constructed.
The permanent home of the nation's spent fuel has been in limbo since President Barack Obama euthanized the Yucca Mountain repository in his first term.
Areva already has a major presence at SRS as part of the Shaw AREVA MOX Services project to build the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility.
More than 75,000 tons of nuclear waste were to be buried deep inside a Nevada mountain. In the wake of the decision to close Yucca, a Blue Ribbon Commission formed. It suggested interim storage sites could safely be used to store the materials until a permanent solution was found.
This presentation has become a rallying point for anti-nuclear and environmentalist groups looking to make it clear that they do not want SRS to become a temporary or permanent "Yucca Mountain."
The Blue Ribbon Commission recommended a "consent-based approach to siting future nuclear waste storage and disposal facilities," noting that trying to force such facilities "on unwilling states, tribes and communities has not worked." This position was echoed by the SRS Citizens Advisory Board in an October 30 recommendation.
As well as the presentation on spent fuel, Dr. Terry Michalske, director of the Savannah River National Laboratory; Patrick McGuire; Zack Smith, DOE-SR deputy manager; and Senior Program Advisor for Fissle Materials Disposition Jeffrey Allison will update the Council on project progress.
Michalske will present information titled "Don't Throw Out Baby with Nuclear Bathwater," in which he outlines that there is commercially-viable materials contained in the nation's nuclear waste and that these should not be discarded blindly.
McGuire will offer an update on the work being done at SRS' H-canyon, and Allison will do the same related to the MOX project.
Emails requests comment from Areva and Shaw AREVA Mox Services were not returned on Tuesday.

Don't these Phil Collin lyrics remind you of how small yet strong your preemie is, and how hard it was to leave her/him in the NICU every day, several times a day? It never got easier. Just reading these lyrics and thinking about it makes me get tears in my eyes. Even though she's been home for two months, the experience is still so close to my heart, and I feel so fiercely protective of her.
Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
Lyrics by Phil Collins

ABBOTSFORD, B.C.---The Abbotsford Heat reeled off three unanswered goals in the third period to knock the Chicago Wolves from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 4-1 decision Saturday night at Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.
Right wing Zack Kassian produced the Wolves goal --- his third in as many games --- while goaltender Eddie Lack posted a season-high 37 saves. Defenseman Yann Sauve assisted on Kassian's score.
Kassian opened the scoring for the third game in a row at 8:19 of the first. Sauve battled an Abbotsford player along the boards for the puck and tapped it toward Kassian, who skated into the slot and rifled a shot past Heat goaltender Barry Brust.
Abbotsford evened the score at 5:10 of the second period after Lack roamed out to the faceoff dot to try to clear the puck. Heat center Adam Estoclet gained control and hit left wing Carter Bancks in the front of the net. Bancks backhanded it in before Lack could return home.
The Wolves (4-1-0-0) fell behind for the first time all year at 8:44 of the third when Heat center Ben Walter's sharp pass found Dustin Sylvester right in front of the crease. Sylvester redirected the pass past Lack for a 2-1 lead.
Walter's pass set up Sven Baertschi for another goal at 12:44 and Roman Horak tacked on a power-play goal at 14:27 for the Heat (3-0-0-1).
Lack's record dropped to 3-1-0. Brust (1-0-0) saved 25 shots in his season debut.
Chicago travels to Peoria on Friday night for an Illinois Lottery Cup game before returning to Allstate Arena at 7 p.m. Saturday to face San Antonio on Breast Cancer Awareness Night. For tickets, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES or visit ChicagoWolves.com.
