Glee Spoiler: The Warblers Are Back — But Did They Cheat at Sectionals?
They're baaaaaack!
When we last saw the Dalton Academy Warblers, they were busy crushing the New Directions at Sectionals during Season 4, Episode 8: "Thanksgiving." No offense to "Gangnam Style" or anything, but we're pretty sure that Sebastian's (Grant Gustin) "Live While We're Young" put the New Ds to shame.
Though it appears that McKinley has been bumped out of the competitive circuit for the rest of the year, that might not actually be the case.
FOX's official synopsis for Glee's first new episode of 2013, Season 4, Episode 11: "Sadie Hawkins," states that "Sam (Chord Overstreet) and Blaine (Darren Criss) investigate a possible cheating scandal at Sectionals."
We know from Twitter that Nolan Gerard Funk (Hunter) and the Warblers will be back for the episode, though sadly we have not seen any evidence that Grant Gustin (Sebastian) was able to join them. (Darn you CW: you and your flawless CW-haired hunks. No fair stealing him away from us!)
In mid-December, Nolan tweeted this photo of Hunter's Glee return for Episode 11. "Behind the scenes on set for @gleeonfox" he wrote.
Details are slim as to what exactly the Warblers' return will entail, but Nolan did tweet that he was filming something "hysterical." Now we've got to know: What exactly will Sam and Blaine uncover about the Warblers, anyway? How could they have cheated? And — more importantly — will Hunter and the boys be able to look nearly as attractive when they're not wearing those dapper Warbler jackets?
These are important questions, people. Important.

Exceptionally soft, naturally breathable and warm even when wet, merino wool regulates your body temperature, has a great warmth-to-weight ratio, naturally controls odor and stretches as you move. Our merino wool is sustainably sourced from the grasslands of Patagonia. We slow wash it for softness and shrink-resistance without the use of chlorine, a chemical that can produce harmful toxins depending on how it us used. We blend merino wool with all-recycled polyester for durability, wicking and faster dry times that's unmatched by 100% merino clothing.
Over the years, we've tried a variety of merino fabrications, including the use of 100% merino wool in our Performance Baselayer line for a time. Despite a high level of comfort in the finished garments, the durability of 100% merino garments did not meet our quality standards. This forced us to ask if we were living up to our mission to build the highest quality products and do no unnecessary harm (building products that can't take a beating requires continued production of new products, instead of fewer products better made). By blending recycled polyester into our finished merino garments, we were able to dramatically increase durability.
There are other benefits, too. Our wool/polyester blend boosts the wicking function of the fabric and reduces overall dry times. The resulting garment provides higher performance in the field, is less fussy to care for and remains exceptionally soft against the skin, naturally odor resistant and machine washable. Our merino baselayer fabrics are bluesign® approved, ensuring the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.
We make our Merino Wool Baselayers in three different weights for different levels of exertion and temperatures.
Merino 1 Silkweight is our lightest weight merino baselayer. Merino 1 Silkweight keeps you cool, dry and comfortable in warm-to-hot conditions. Merino 1 is made from a 65% merino wool/35% Capilene® fiber blend.
Merino 2 Lightweight is our most versatile merino baselayer. Merino 2 Lightweight keeps you warm and comfortable during active pursuits in cool to cold conditions. Merino 2 tops are is made from an 80% merino wool/20% Capilene® fiber blend; Merino 2 bottoms are made from a 77% merino wool/5% spandex/18% Capilene fiber blend.
Merino 3 Midweight is our go-to cold-weather merino baselayer. Merino 3 Midweight keeps you warm and comfortable during active pursuits in cold conditions. Merino 3 tops are made from an 80% merino wool/20% Capilene® fiber blend; Merino 3 bottoms are made from a 78% merino wool/3% spandex/19% Capilene fiber blend.

I once had a tear in my shirt i wasn't aware of by the pocket, woo hoo, showing to much skin there, for me anyway.... at least it didn't happen at the same time as a nostril malfunction...
Thank you, everybody!
I usually have a compact and tissues in my pocket so I'll habd the person the open compact and a tissue and turn away.
PLEASE!!!!! Tell me if I have a hangar! I don't want to go about my day with something hanging out of my nose. Tell me.
Sepia and Dust! That was so not right!I just say, "Hey, you've got a hanger."
Sometimes I say it, even when they don't....
Now, what to do when you are talking to someone and they have a nose whistle?
What's worse is catching someone (especially if an adult) putting it in their mouth and swallowing it.
Nose whistles just have to be borne with patience I guess Sigs...

Absolutely love the same day weigh-ins and no saved-by-the-bell. I think the 10/5 round structure is also a pretty good idea.
The judging is always going to be an issue as it currently is with actual judges. Obviously the intent is to not let it go to there. This format still seems pretty flawed, but so is actual judges. Not sure how you let the fans vote or how fair that is since there can sometimes be severe bias in a hometown crowd.
A different idea might be to form a floating panel made up of 5-7 fighters not fighting that night and not part of either camp in that fight. Pay them a nominal fee to show up and pull from a pool. Let them spend about 2 minutes deliberating on camera and then take the majority vote.
Judging fights as a whole rather than by rounds would be a much better system.
Can't wait for this. It sounds really fun. I will definitely watch.
I like the fan's vote. They can all have a buzzer by their seat.
An inside-the-cage judge is better than double duty as ref/judge.
They could give Rickson one vote, the audience one vote, and let BJM break any ties.
I love the idea of judging the fight as a whole again.
Does anyone know if it haz Yellow cardz?
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
A fourth person might make it a bit crowded inside the cage but I do like the idea.
I still think it gives the promoter too much influence, a conflict of interests, if you will. The promoter wants to create the more "sell'able" fights (right Zuffa?) so if it is a close fight / near a draw, it just seems it would seem almost a guarantee the promoter would score it for the guy he wants to see in the next 'big' fight.
In no shape or form should a promoter be involved in deciding the outcome of a fight in my opinion it just leaves to much potential for abuse. The audience participating in the decision is a novel idea but it'll end up being a popularity contest most times then not there short of clear one sided matches. Not being the home town fighter would be pretty detrimental to your W/L record. Refs should be focused on the action in the cage and not trying to make mental notes on who they think win. I get what he is trying to do here but by trying to fix one problem he opens up a whole set of new ones.
Same day weigh ins is a great idea but they need to have the time between weigh ins and actual matches down to a very minimal amount of time before matches.

The Fall 2013 issue of preLaw magazine identified the University of Idaho College of Law programs in International law and Alternative Dispute Resolution as specialty programs for law students. PreLaw profiled law school specialty programs and selected programs that offer a concentration in a particular practice area and who offer clinical or externship opportunities in the concentration. In a time when specialization in the practice of law is becoming the norm, prospective law students look for such program offerings in their law school selection decision.
According to the Law School News section of Around the Nation the College of Law saw an 11.9 percent increase in applications, making us one of only four law schools in the nation who saw an increase of ten percent or more was featured. Part of this growth was attributed to our branch in Boise, where we offer third-year students the option to take clinics, externships and a semester-in-practice program in the Treasure Valley.
The Idaho State Bar recognized several members for their outstanding professionalism and pro bono work at the annual "road show" in each of the judicial districts during November. College of Law alumni were among those recognized. The Professionalism award is given to "at least one attorney from each of the seven judicial districts in Idaho who has engaged in extraordinary activity in his or her community, in the state, or in the profession, which reflects the highest standards of professionalism." The Denise O'Donnell Day Pro Bono Award is "presented to the person(s) from each judicial district that have donated extraordinary time and effort to help clients who are unable to pay for services."
We are proud of our alumni who have been recognized for their professionalism and service.
Many people think about making charitable gifts as the calendar year nears December 31st. We hope you will consider a gift to support the College of Law. All alumni should receive an annual giving letter in the mail in the next few weeks, which will include giving options and a return envelope. You can also go online to the College of Law Inspiring Futures website to make your gift. A gift to the College of Law Excellence Fund provides the greatest flexibility and allows the dean and other advisors to direct funds to those areas of greatest need in the College.
Some things to keep in mind as you make your charitable giving decisions for 2013.

TV: Did you know? Shaq, Sir Charles & the downtown S.A. smackdown
TNT's "Inside the NBA" coordinating producer Tim Kiely had a blog at NBA.com a few years ago and would share behind-the-scenes shenanigans about life at Turner Sports.
The playful banter between Barkley and O'Neal existed long before they were paired on TV together last December.
Here are Kiely's exact words about the "smackdown" between the two in downtown San Antonio. This blog's best guess is this happened late Monday, May 21 or in the early morning hours of Tuesday, May 22, 2001:[Read More]

Dr. Stephen Patterson, George H. Atkinson Professor of Religious and Ethical Studies
Current News
U Think considers Christian origins
Willamette University's U Think series will feature Stephen Patterson, professor and historian who specializes in the origins of Christianity. He will present "The Historian's Jesus: What scholars say about the sage from Galilee" on Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m. in Brown's Towne Lounge.
"Long before Jesus became the Christian savior he was a Jewish sage who provoked the masses and drew a crowd," says Patterson. "Beggars loved him, and Romans feared him. In the end, he was executed for sedition. Historians now think they know why."
Patterson is the George H. Atkinson Professor of Religious and Ethical Studies at Willamette University. He is the director of the Westar Institute, where he chairs the Jesus Seminar on Christian Origins. Patterson's many books and essays address various aspects of the historical Jesus and Gospel of Thomas, among other biblical scholarship.
Before coming to Willamette, Patterson spent 22 years as a professor of theology at Eden Seminary in St. Louis. He has a master's from Harvard University and another from Claremont Graduate University, where he completed his doctorate in New Testament studies.
Willamette U Think features professors in an informal environment. The free presentations are geared for the public, and no background knowledge is needed. A question and answer session will follow the talk.
At 189 Liberty St. NE, between Court and State Streets in downtown Salem, Brown's Towne Lounge is open to adults over 21. Tables fill quickly, so arrive early to enjoy food and drink specials before the discussion.

Altvater: Ryder Cup teams are now completeWritten by Fred Altvater | | firstname.lastname@example.com
European Team Ryder Cup Captain Paul McGinley and U.S. Team Captain Tom Watson recently made their final three picks to complete their 12-man rosters.
McGinley's European Team will enter the Ryder Cup at the end of September as a heavy favorite having won seven of the last nine matches.
His final picks included Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and a new name, Stephen Gallacher.
Gallacher, from Scotland, won consecutive Omega Dubai Desert Classics in 2013-14 and has had a very good season on the European Tour. Top-10 finishes at the last two European Tour events, the Czech Masters and the Italian Open, cemented Gallacher's choice as a captain's pick.
McGinley chose Gallacher over a Luke Donald, who has been a Ryder Cup stalwart on past European Ryder Cup teams.
There was no drama in his other two picks.
Although Westwood has not had a successful year on the PGA Tour, he has been a member of eight previous European teams.
No one could image a Ryder Cup without Ian Poulter, who seems to don his cape and become Superman every two years when the Ryder Cup is contested.
With four of the top five ranked players in the world — Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose — on the team, plus the fact that the matches will be held at Gleneagles in Scotland, the Europeans seem to have an insurmountable advantage in this year's competition.
Watson's U.S. team had six contenders for his final three spots. Brandt Snedeker, Ryan Moore, Keegan Bradley, Hunter Mahan, Webb Simpson and Chris Kirk all missed earning sufficient point to qualify for the team.
Mahan won The Barclays and Kirk won the Deutsche Bank Championship to make a strong case for their inclusion on the team.
In the end, Watson chose experience by picking Bradley, Simpson and Mahan.
Bradley performed well as a partner for Phil Mickelson at Medinah in 2012. Simpson is best friends with Bubba Watson and makes a comfortable partner for the two-time Masters Champion.
Mahan earned his spot by winning the first FedEx Cup playoff tournament and can partner well with several others from the American team.
Perhaps the bigger story is who is not available to be on Team USA. Tiger Woods, Jason Dufner and Dustin Johnson will all stay home and watch from the comfort of their couches. Their absence leaves a big hole for Captain Watson at Gleneagles.
For the first time, the Americans enter the Ryder Cup as the clear underdog.
Watson won five Open Championships and was the captain when the U.S. Team last won the Ryder Cup in Europe at the Belfry in 1993.
It will be interesting to see if the Americans will rally around their captain and bring home Samuel Ryder's cup Sept. 28.

EAST BEND - Both Forbush basketball squads have struggled to open the 2012-13 season to strong Northwest Conference opponents.
The Falcons were swept by Surry Central in a double-header last Monday to tip off the season.
The boys battled from behind to take a 42-40 lead early in the fourth quarter. But the Golden Eagles hit critical free throws to escape with the 57-52 victory in Dobson.
In the girls matchup, Surry Central opened on a 10-0 run and breezed to a 67-40 victory. Starmount transfer Brittany Moose led the way with 14 points for the Falcons, while Savannah Hill added seven points.
Against tough East Surry squads, the Falcons were blown out in the first round of the Mt. Airy Thanksgiving Tournament this past weekend.
The Lady Falcons fell behind early and dropped a 62-42 decision. In the boys game, Forbush ran into a hot-shooting Cardinal team and could not keep pace. East shot 66 percent from the floor and breezed to a 73-34 victory.
In the final matchups of the holiday tournament, the Falcons fell to host Mt. Airy 67-48 before the Forbush girls lost 63-44.
Both teams return to action Friday night in the home opener against West Stokes.

Chattanooga Lady Mocs Basketball Postgame Notes
UNCG at Chattanooga
McKenzie Arena - Chattanooga, Tenn.
Monday - Feb. 11, 2013
Chattanooga Head Coach Wes Moore
Thoughts on the game
"Got to give UNCG a lot of credit, they had a good plan and did a nice job of getting back door cuts against our defense. They made it real hard for us to run our stuff and bodied up on us on defense. They doubled-teamed us in the post and you have to give them a lot of credit. We had 19 turnovers and we're going to have to do a much better job of that next time on the court. Rebounding-wise, we did a good job at crashing the boards and containing them in that aspect. Ashlen was big with 10 rebounds and 19 points, then Kayla Christopher hit some big three's for us when we were struggling. Jackson did great in her first start with eight rebounds, and Faith with 10 points in 12 minutes was fantastic. Again, tonight was another great team effort which led to a win."
Thoughts on Kylie Lambert's limited play
"It did hurt us some, but we're trying to do what we can to help Kylie hang in there down the stretch. I know she is feeling a lot of pain, and we're trying to pace her as well as ourselves. We were hoping to try and get away without her playing, but I felt her senior leadership was needed. Her status is day-to-day and we'll continue to do the best we can with it."
Thoughts on Kayla Christopher's performance
"Well, we're always trying to get her looks. You can draw up plays all day long, but players have to make the plays and knock the shots down. It's pretty amazing, as much as we were struggling, for her to keep her head up. She did the same thing Saturday against Elon, just taking over in the second half and refusing to lose. That is what seniors and great leaders do. Kayla is quiet, but she understands the game extremely well and has a feel for it."
Thoughts on the play of the freshmen
"Payne makes plays on defense. She takes care of the ball for the most part and knows where it needs to go. We had that one backdoor cut that got away from us, but she is maturing right before our eyes. We knew in the recruiting process that Tatianna would be a great player and she is living up to that. She is still a freshman and there were some break downs on the first half where we felt she didn't have the urgency she needed to have defensively."
Thoughts on the difference between winning and losing being someone getting hot
"No doubt, Collins for UNCG definitely got hot and that's what happens. You have a night where your kids don't hit tough shots they normally make and they have somebody who gets hot. Right now are the dog days of the season. With pre-season since August, conditioning, lifting, and practice since October, you've been through a long grind and March madness is still a bit too far to get excited about. You've got kids right now who are trying to fight through things. This is the time of year where you really have to hang in there and suck it up."
Kayla Christopher, senior, guard
Thoughts on the 14-0 run early in the second half
"It was a big stretch for us. It was important for us to step up and hit some shots. We knew we could get back into it. It just gave us the confidence to get back in the game."
Thoughts on being tied for the second-most three point shots made in UTC history
"It's crazy but I thank God for giving me the opportunity to do it. Just to even be mentioned with those names is pretty cool. But we still want more."
Thoughts on her role as a senior
"When I need to step up and hit some shots then I'm going to try and do that. As a senior, I feel like a lot of that when the team needs me. I need to step up and deliver for them. That's what I am supposed to do. It's my time. It's my last go around. It's basically on mine and Kylie's shoulders to get it done."
Ashlen Dewart, junior, forward
Thoughts on the physicality of the game
"I think the past few games have been a lot more physical than they were at the beginning of the season. But that's just something that you have to adjust to and you just have to become tougher down inside. With Kayla shooting the way she was shooting helped me out a lot because they couldn't really trap. I think our guards did a great job tonight."

Comments about Rock 47 by Wrangler Women's Sheer Long Sleeve Western Shirt:
I did not like this shirt and gave it away since I had thrown away the tags. The fit was poor, and the shirt is very clingy. I felt like I was wearing ultra suede under the shirt. Very long arms in a medium shirt.

NORTH AUGUSTA — With work or preliminary planning under way at Jackson Middle School and Aiken and Ridge Spring-Monetta high schools, next up is North Augusta High School.
As principal Todd Bornscheuer told state legislators and other visitors on Monday, the school will get a much-needed new wing through the Aiken County School District's five-year building plan.
But that's just the first phase to ultimately rebuild the 43-year-old school. With seven more phases proposed in the master plan, that's a 40-year process.
"Forty years to get a new high school is not realistic," said Bornscheuer. "It's unacceptable to me, not only here at North Augusta High but across the district. We've got to find a way to speed things up."
S.C. Rep. Bill Hixon, who represents North Augusta, worked with the high school's School Improvement Council to set up a meeting and luncheon to discuss the overcrowding and facet issues at the school.
The visitors included S.C. Rep. Tom Young, R-Aiken, S.C. Shane Massey, R-Edgefield, Aiken County Council Chairman Ronnie Young, Will Williams, director of the Aiken-Edgefield Economic Development Partnership; Aiken Superintendent Dr. Beth Everitt and Dr. Tim Yarborough, the school district's academic officer for high schools.
The only viable alternative, at least for now, would be an educational capital sales tax that would allow a one-cent sales tax increase for 15 years – pending voter approval, said School Board Vice Chairman Ray Flemming. However, current state law allows only Horry and Charleston counties to have such a tax, and both do.
In Aiken County, the tax would raise $18 million to $20 million a year. That could speed up existing projects and get others started earlier than currently scheduled.
"We're looking for any alternative that would provide infrastructure to those schools that have needed it for many years," said Everitt. "At North Augusta High, it's clear that we've outgrown the facility."
High school seniors led the visitors on a tour of the high school, among them Leah Mitton and Jonathan Mills. They acknowledged that they will be graduating next spring, "but this could affect my own kids someday," Mills said.
The issue is competitive in terms of showing schools to new families and prospective businesses and industry, said Williams.
"I have to sell the schools," he said. "I know the instructional component is outstanding, but the schools over in Columbia County look better than they do here. Some 70 percent of the community are without children in the schools. Many are retirees who came here for the climate and low taxes, but we haven't done a good job of convincing them about our schools' needs."
School Board member Keith Liner pointed out that the board has established a communications subcommittee.
"We're looking at how the district is communicating and seeing how effective we are," he said. "We need to win over the nonparents."
Staff photo by Rob Novit Will Barnes, North Augustas High School Improvement Council chairman, points out to legislators and other officials that an eight-phase rebuilding of the school will take 40 years without other funding alternatives.×

San Jose Earthquakes club partner Tottenham Hotspur has sent another promising prospect across the pond, the Mercury News confirmed Tuesday.
John Bostock, the youngest player in Spurs' club history and a former English U-17 captain, arrived in camp with the Earthquakes over the weekend. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder began his Spurs career at 16 years, 295 days, entering as a substitute in a UEFA Cup group match against Dinamo Zagreb at White Hart Lane on Nov. 6, 2008. He has since spent time with Brentford, Hull City and Swindon Town on loans.
In case you haven't heard of the once-lauded starlet, the Daily Mail summed it up in this feature article. San Jose might be the perfect spot for Bostock after seeing Simon Dawkins ressurect his career during a two-year loan spell in 2011 and 2012.
Dawkins tallied 14 goals and three assists in 53 appearances during his time in San Jose. After helping the Earthquakes to the club's second Supporters' Shield trophy, he joined Aston Villa on loan for the remainder of the 2012-13 English Premier League season, making his first appearance on Sunday in a 2-1 Villa win.
Reclamation projects have become a specialty for the Earthquakes in recent years.
Reigning Volkswagen MLS Most Valuable player Chris Wondolowski has flourished under head coach Frank Yallop, leading the league in goals for three-consecutive years after finding the net just seven times in his first five professional seasons. Thirty-one-year-old forward Alan Gordon posted career highs with 13 goals and seven assists in 2012 and earned his first cap with the U.S. Men's National Team. The list of success stories goes on.
While no formal agreement has been reached, Bostock's arrival in San Jose could be the next chapter in an ongoing relationship with Tottenham Hotspur. Friends with benefits, indeed.
Who's ready for a road trip?
The Earthquakes are on their way to their second home aka the Central Coast on Saturday. On tap is a match against the Chicago Fire at UC Santa Barbara's Harder Stadium at 6 p.m. PT (BUY TICKETS).
Now, as a Cal Poly grad I have biased opinions about UC Santa Barbara. That being said, they know how to do soccer on the Central Coast (See: Blue-Green Rivalry and fans storming the field). And, a drive down the 101 to CenCal isn't exactly torture.
If you are planning to make the trip, here's a few tips to keep in mind (and, if you want a more Santa Barbara-slanted perspective, be sure to Tweet @SamGarza17):
Lodging: Travelzoo has this deal available in Los Osos ($159 for one night, dinner and a bottle of wine). Los Osos is west of San Luis Obispo and tacks on an extra 40 minutes of total travel, but you're right on the coast and close to a popular tourist spot, Morro Bay.
Other spots worth considering include: San Luis Obispo (1 hour, 30 minutes from UCSB), Pismo Beach (1 hour, 20 minutes from UCSB) or Solvang (45 minutes from UCSB). If you're thinking about Pismo Beach, also take a look at Avila Beach; it's a hidden gem about 10 minutes north of Pismo.
Food: Two words: tri-tip. The Central Coast does beef and you can be sure if you stop at Firestone's in San Luis Obispo, you'll be back.
San Luis Obispo - Firestone Grill (get the tri-tip sandwich and a side of fries, thank me later), Pizza Solo (the best pie in town and the Solo Stix are on point), Louisa's Place (breakfast spot in Downtown SLO with big portions and plenty to choose from)
Pismo Beach - Splash Cafe (famous for its clam chowder), Del's Italian Restaurant (actually located in Shell Beach, sit-down spot with lasagna that rivals any mom's home cooking), F. McClintock's Saloon & Dining House (steakhouse in Shell Beach with the most talented wait staff in the Golden State)
Solvang - Olsen's Danish Village Bakery & Coffee Shop (pastries galore), Root 246 (pricier joint than the previously listed, but the spread is worth a shout)
Santa Barbara - Cold Spring Tavern (another popular tri-tip spot), Freebird's World Burrito (located close to campus in Goleta, they serve massive burritos)
Sunday Adventures: On your way back to the Bay, make sure to drop by at least one of the aforementioned eateries and check out the outdoor scene. Inspiration Point in Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach, Morro Rock, Hearst Castle, Bishop's Peak in San Luis Obispo - you can pull of the road just about anywhere and find something worth laying eyes on.
It's that time again, soccer fans.
By the end of World Cup Qualification, there will undoubtedly be more Americans rocking a Michael Bradley hairdo than ever before - either as an iconic tribute or a sign of the grueling process that is hexagonal play.
It all kicks off in Honduras at Estadio Olimpico today (1 p.m. PT / beIN Sport). Earthquakes fans will recognize one familiar face suiting up: center back Victory Bernardez.
No idea what the hex entails? What should the U.S. expect in San Sula? Need some insight as to why Hondurans love Jonathan Bornstein?
KICKTV has all of that and more in a brilliantly produced match preview. Check it out!
As a March Madness maniac, I was ecstatic when I heard that Gus Johnson aka My Passion Bucket is Full (See: Passion Bucket) was signing on to broadcast a few Earthquakes games over the radio in 2012.
Not to gush, but the guy is a living legend in my circle. If I scored a game-winning three to win an NCAA Championship, I would want Gus on the call. No play-by-play brings more energy to a game. Nobody.
That's why I was thrilled to see Sports Illustrated's report today that Gus is being groomed to be Fox's voice of the World Cup in 2018. Even as a soccer rookie in the booth last season, you could see glimmers of what the guy is capable of.
"Game tied at one ... Chavez, trying to maneuver on the far touchline ... still handling ... left foot ... cross, Lenhart - OH AND HE HEADS IT IN!"
Sign me up for some Gus Johnson in 2018. Rise and fire.
Simon Dawkins has completed a late-night loan move to the end of the season from Tottenham. #AVFC
— Aston Villa FC (@AVFCOfficial) January 31, 2013
News --> Simon Dawkins has joined Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season: bit.ly/14AKixq #COYS #THFC
— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) January 31, 2013
It's official: Simon Dawkins will join Aston Villa on loan for the remainder of the English Premier League season.
Obviously, this isn't the news Earthquakes fans wanted to hear. However, this doesn't completely shut the door on a future move. In theory, Dawkins could still make a permanent move stateside after the EPL season ends.
Dawkins scored 14 goals and three in 53 appearances - largely as a left midfielder - for the Earthquakes in two seasons.
There weren't a lot of familiar faces on the field for San Jose's 2-0 win against the Houston Dynamo on Tuesday, but a pair of goals from Alexandre Emerson left fans scramling to track down details about the mystery trialist.
Emerson is actually a San Jose native. He left for Mexico when he was 13, suiting up for Chivas before settling in with Necaxa.
You can check out Emerson's finishes in the highlights above. Other players appearing in the reel include: Adam Jahn (first shot), Evan Newton (first save), Tommy Muller (blocked shot), Matt Fondy (goal called back), Jesus Guzman (second-half goalkeeper) and Jacob Hustedt (drew penalty).
The Earthquakes will be well represented in Houston tonight when the U.S. Men's National Team faces a young Canadian squad at BBVA Compass Stadium (6 p.m. PT / ESPN2).
Forward Chris Wondolowski is aiming to make his ninth cap while left back Justin Morrow hopes to earn his first. Not that we're biased over here at sjearthquakes.com, but we've penciled both into our starting XI prediction (see below).
In case you need a bit more backgorund info going into the match, we've got some links for you:

Starting XI prediction from PST's Steve Davis
Now, about that un-biased lineup prediction. Here's what I've got (feel free to chime in with your choices):
Chris Wondolowski is hard at work with the U.S. Men's National Team ahead of tomorrow night's 6:00 p.m. PST match against Canada at Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium.
Wondo, the 2012 Volkswagen MLS MVP, is seeking his ninth cap and is eager to impress head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The match may just be a friendly but has implications for Klinsmann's future roster ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifying round starting in February.
Wondo's past three seasons have been nothing short of sensational - 61 goals in 90 MLS Regular Season matches. The predatory finisher is aiming to transfer such a goal-scoring prowess onto the international scene.
The Danville, Calif. native sat down with ussoccer.com to shed light on his past accomplishments while also forecast his hopes for the matches ahead. To watch the interview and catch highlights of Wondo with the U.S. Men's National Team, click here.
Earthquakes' President Dave Kaval is knee-deep in stadium planning.
With a new stadium set to inaugurate the 2014 season, Kaval and staff have been working diligently to see that even the most minute of tasks are executed successfully. The benefactors, of course, will be the Quakes' faithful.
Currently, San Jose plays in the intimate but limiting Buck Shaw Stadium. Routine sellouts cheer on the black and blue no matter the opponent. Yet, with a successful groundbreaking in October, 2012, the Quakes will open a soccer-specific stadium located on Coleman Ave across from the San Jose Airport. The new stadium will hold 18,000 with room for expansion.
Dave Kaval sat down to speak with Nancy Lin, the host of Business Reinvention, to not only discuss the current state of construction but also, more broadly, to inspect the growing state of soccer in the U.S. The Quakes' President has led a number of sports business panels in recent months and will share his insight on soccer relative to other American sports as well as soccer's following abroad.
To listen to the podcast, click here.
Quakes' General Manager John Doyle has been placed on the National Soccer Hall of Fame ballot for the class of 2013. Voting will conclude on Feb. 22 and the results will be announced shortly thereafter.
Doyle has had an esteemed soccer career as both a player and now as an executive. An All-America honoree at the University of San Francisco, Doyle would go on to establish himself as a model soccer professional in the 1980's and 1990's. The defender played for the San Francisco BlackHawks, the then-San Jose Clash, and the San Jose Earthquakes. Doyle would make his final appearance for the Quakes in 2000.
A veteran of the U.S. Men's National Team, Doyle represented the Red, White, and Blue in the 1990 FIFA World Cup and earned 53 full international caps for his country.
As illustrious as his playing career was, Doyle has led his former team to new heights from an executive standpoint. The Quakes' General Manager was integral in assembling the 2012 team that put together a franchise-best record of 19-6-9 and won their second Supporters' Shield trophy.

A pilot's new wings
Galanti due in Henrico to unveil '40-year time machine'
Since 1967, he's been portrayed on the cover of both Life and Newsweek, and featured in Time Magazine as well as various Discovery Channel documentaries.
As a nationally recognized inspirational speaker, he's spoken to more than 1,300 audiences of schoolchildren, civic groups and professional associations, and was named by a national sales journal as one of twelve outstanding motivators in the U.S.
In the four decades since he led his U.S. Naval Academy class as president, he's served as president of the Virginia Aviation Foundation (VAF), the Science Museum of Virginia Foundation and the Nam-POWs.
As a former Navy pilot and a veteran of 97 combat missions, he's received the Silver Star and Bronze Star for heroism, the Meritorious Service Medal, Navy Commendation Medal, two Legions of Merit, nine Combat Air Medals and two Purple Hearts. He's a member of the Virginia Aviation Hall of Fame and a recipient of the Liberty Bell Award and the Outstanding Virginian Award.
And on April 29 in Henrico, Paul Galanti will add another honor to his long list, as the VAF unveils a replica of the A-4C Skyhawk he flew in combat – and donates it to the collection of the Virginia Aviation Museum.
Painted exactly like the aircraft in which Galanti was shot down and captured in Vietnam, the revamped A-4 "was literally a 40-year time machine for me," said Galanti following the restoration. "And the sentiment behind it watered my eyes.
"The young sailors who painted it," he marvels, "weren't born when I flew the original!"
For the "Festival of Wings" event, to be held at the Virginia Air National Guard facility, surviving members of Paul's squadron will gather in Richmond for a reunion, along with members of the Richmond Chapter of the USNA Alumni Association.
In the days leading up to the ceremony, Galanti will also address a University of Richmond audience that includes the USNAAA groups from Richmond,Charlottesville and Williamsburg, as well as members of the West Point Society of Richmond and the Navy League.
Full schedule
From his room at the Hilton Garden Inn in Washington, Galanti told the Citizen earlier this month, "I'm in DC for a meeting of the VA Secretary's advisory committee on former POWs. I just got back from dinner with four of my POW friends and a couple of our doctors. Mellow evening."
His not-so-mellow schedule for the upcoming weeks, said Galanti, would include (in addition to the the VAF event) "two full days of training for the Virginia Board of Veterans Services, a family reunion, and the Vietnam POW Reunion almost back to back.
"Those are followed immediately by a week-long trip to Pensacola for a NOMI physical and Naval Aviation Museum Symposium. That's followed immediately by the State POW Convention which is hosted this year by my chapter of which I'm commander."
As he prepared for his next series of speeches, Galanti noted that he had entitled his remarks for the dinner at UR (where he received his MBA in 1976), "Plebe Years Bravo - Hotel – for the seven years I was in Hanoi.
"[Fellow POW] James B. Stockdale thought the discipline instilled at USNA was what helped him endure the unimaginable pain and torture inflicted by the Communists.
"I do, too."
From Jersey to Nam – and Virginia
Born in New Jersey into a military family, Galanti grew up living in Japan, France, Turkey and Germany as well as numerous states. After his 1962 graduation from the Naval Academy, he married his wife Phyllis, completed jet flight training and became a flight instructor in Pensacola -- until leaving for Southeast Asia in 1965.
He was shot down in flames in his A-4 Skyhawk the following year, while conducting an attack on a railroad siding in North Vietnam.
Decades later, in a column recounting events for the Richmond Times Dispatch, Galanti wrote, "I was ejected violently from the bird at almost 600 m.p.h., made my first parachute descent, was shot on the way down, and arrived in a country whose locals didn't exactly roll out the Welcome Wagon."
Of the seven years of torture, humiliation and inhumane treatment that followed, Galanti spent more than a year in solitary confinement – "the hours broken only by infrequent communications (tapping through concrete) with other Americans."
If caught in attempts to communicate, prisoners endured a month in leg irons with hands cuffed behind the back. Once, a guard saw Galanti throwing a package of Lifesavers (part of a package from Phyllis) to another cell. As punishment, he had to sit on a small stool, drugged and sleep-deprived, in a cold interrogation room for 10 days and nights.
When the POWs were moved to camps where groups shared cells, Galanti helped organize lessons in which prisoners taught each other French, Spanish, German, Russian, math, architecture, engineering drawing, and music.
"Classes taught without benefit of books, A-V equipment, or teaching certificates were so effective," he wrote later, "that three of our enlisted men who'd had no college training prior to capture passed more than 100 semester hours of college-level validation exams on their return."
After his release in 1973, Galanti says, "homecoming was a renaissance - literally and figuratively. My marriage was intact. Indeed, my formerly shy wife was a national leader who had addressed the joint session of the Virginia General Assembly and met with President Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and (in France) hundreds of Communists on behalf of all the prisoners of war."
Assigned to the Navy Recruiting District in Richmond, Galanti set new records during his tenure as chief recruiter in Virginia. His final assignment before retirement from the Navy was to the commandant's staff at the Naval Academy. In 1983, he became the first non-pharmacist executive director in the Virginia Pharmaceutical Association's 100-year history.
'Treasures in our midst'
As Academy grad Rich Polek told Richmond alumni in the VAF invitation, "Those who have attended USNA Richmond events over the years know Paul Galanti to be one of our most interesting, friendly, helpful, colorful, funny, active and dedicated alumni.
"We often forget the treasures within our own midst, [and] Paul is our treasure -- USNA Richmond's own certified war hero. I, for one, do not think I can be more proud of him."
To a former POW, who still savors the warm beds, hot meals, and freedoms that he dreamed of in confinement, everyday treasures are an easy concept to grasp. And in his speech to the USNA alumni, Galanti says, he plans to close by pointing that out.
"The three main things I learned [as a POW]," he recites:
"I was more resilient than I thought I could ever be.
"No matter how bad it got for me, somebody else always had it worse.
"Finally, and most importantly, There's no such thing as a bad day when there's a doorknob on the inside of the door."

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Ana Rosales and Cesar Lopez led their respective Cal State Northridge cross country teams on Saturday as Rosales finished 23rd in the women's 6k and Lopez was 29th in the men's 8k at the Northridge Invitational.
Saturday's invitational was the first cross country meet hosted on the Northridge campus in over 20 years. Head coach Avery Anderson said "We had an excellent turnout and I thought the meet ran very smoothly."
In the first race of the morning, the women's 6k, UNLV's Lauren Pedersen ran the top time finishing in 21:54.16. Unattached runner Arianna Celis was second in 21:55.38 while UC Santa Barbara's Laura Beresford was the third overall finisher and second collegiate runner in a time of 22:04.92.

NEW YORK - - Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o has told Katie Couric that he briefly lied about his online girlfriend after discovering she didn't exist.
Te'o said in an interview to air Thursday on Couric's show that he didn't lie about the hoax until December, believing Lennay Kekua had died of cancer. A segment of the interview with Te'o and his parents was broadcast Wednesday.
Te'o maintains that he had no part in creating the hoax.

American sturgeon caviar on a daikon ring atop a cucumber slice.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Fish, Seafood & Caviar
Favorite Caviar Recipes
Easy And Elegant
How many ways can you enjoy caviar?
On blini, on potato slices, on potato pancakes, in smoked salmon rolls...some purists eat it straight from the tin. Our favorite caviar of all time was a caviar surprise luncheon dish: two tablespoons of osetra hidden under a smooth-as-panna cotta cauliflower crème. A dish that was as magical as it sounds bizarre, it will be recalled until their dying days by all those who experienced it at Joel Robuchon's legendary restaurant Jamin in Paris, circa 1990.
We hope you'll send us your favorite caviar recipes. Ours include:
Tsar Nicoulai American Golden Whitefish Caviar
Our first introduction to caviar was this hors d'oeuvre created by our mother for every holiday and cocktail party from our early childhood on. Mom adapted it from the recipe printed on the outer carton of Romanoff lumpfish caviar.
*If the Bermuda onion is strong, soak the minced onion in cold water for 15 minutes; strain and pat dry with paper towels.
|Don't be intimidated: the compass design above was created by a professional food stylist.
This is a simpler variation of the Party Caviar Pie above.
Serve as a first course at a festive lunch or dinner, as a substantial cocktail food or a special Easter treat. Courtesy of Tsar Nicoulai.
Serves 4
Infused whitefish caviars: Beet Saffron, Ginger and Wasabi.
For this we make our own deviled egg recipe; but to save time we purchase the smoked fish salads from a local specialty food store or our favorite online sources. We serve the eggs as a first course at spring and summer lunches and dinners, and as munchies at cocktail parties and teas. The three different color fillings—yellow, white, and pink—are seasonally perky with or without their caviar hats; and the rich green bed of spinach or chard is a handsome visual as well as tasty counterpoint.
Makes 8 first courses or 24 hors d'oeuvres
Wasabi-flavored caviar garnishes the seared tuna and flavors the vinaigrette. Yield: 2 servings. Courtesy of Tsar Nicoulai. Shown below along with wasabi mashed potatoes.
Ingredients for the Wasabi Whitefish Caviar Vinaigrette
Ingredients for the Tuna
This is a festive and stunning "architectural" creation—but easy to make. Serve it as a first course or as a fish course in a more elaborate dinner. We adapted this one from a dish we enjoyed at Tru restaurant in Chicago several years ago. It's a showstopper, and it has become one of our own signature dishes.
Select infused whitefish caviars of different colors and flavors: ginger (yellow), wasabi (pale green), and beet (red) or regular whitefish caviar (yellow). Seek black paddlefish or bowfin caviars for the black layer. The large salmon eggs make the most impressive topper. If you can't find infused caviars locally (they are available from TsarNicoulai.com and CollinsCaviar.com), you should be able to find yellow whitefish, orange, red tobiko, and a black caviar.
Caviar goes well with all fish and seafood. We love serving it with scallops not only because we like scallops, but because they're so quick and easy to cook. You can adapt this same concept to a lobster tail, shrimp, or any white-fleshed fish like swordfish, cod or halibut.
This is a dish where you can splurge on Caspian or American sturgeon caviar. Or, as with the preceding dish, you can serve a trio of scallops as a main course with a different caviar on each. We'd recommend salmon, paddlefish, and whitefish.
Note: You can plate the asparagus and garnishes ahead of time and get the hot scallops to the table faster.
Caviar and pasta are two favorite foods that naturally go together. Just match fine shapes with minimal surface area that won't overwhelm the caviar pearls. Angel hair is a perfect match. You can use Caspian or American sturgeon caviar if you're feeling flush, but salmon caviar works just fine.
Leftovers taste great cold!

Crevice Tools
The contemporary vacuum cleaners are designed keeping in mind the various unique cleaning needs. Do you know you can remove the fabric softener residue from the lint filter of your washing/dryer machine? All that you need is a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool.
How to remove lint from washing machine using vacuum cleaner?
The first and foremost step is to turn off your dryer and unplug it from the outlet. Remove the lint filter and throw away the lint.
While the lint filter is soaking in warm, soapy water, clean the lint trap using your vacuum cleaner's crevice tool. The crevice tool will loosen any fabric softener residue.
You can then blow dry the lint trap using the vacuum cleaner before fixing the lint cloth back into the lint trap. This will vacuum away any lint inside the lint trap and also unblock the lint compartment's moist air intake vent screens.
You will find a host of crevice tools in GoVacuum.com. GoVacuum.com is a one stop for all your cleaning solutions. We deal with only the best and top branded vacuum cleaners and their accessories. Some of the brands that are available with us include Eureka, Hoover, Bosch, Kenmore, Koblenz and many more.

Rated 2 out of 5�by ara32 Not worth the price This light sweater top is nice in terms of design and color,but the material is definitely not worth $74. This fabric is more on the cheap side and it is worth no more than $30.00 dollars. What a pitty because I really liked the coral�horizontal stripes and the cement contrast. I returned it, I just couldn't pay what it wasn't worth. March 16, 2013

So I got a tattoo last weekend on my shin. It says "nihil timendum est" which is latin for "fear nothing". Advice: don't train in the week after getting a tattoo. The 'd' in "timendum" is going to be hella faded, lol.
No longer having a dearth of funds means my desire for more ink is not only attainable, but downright fucking guaranteed. My only problem is figuring out where to put all the designs I want. My next one will be a big **** off "Deo Duce" somewhere, I don't know where because much of the canvas has been allocated. After that I am going to get a tattoo commemorating my love for this website.
That's right, you read correctly, I am going to get a bullshido tattoo. Last year Colin made a biomechanical bull that I was going to get tattooed (and I loved it, bro) but on reflection and looking at the themes of the tattoo designs I already have, it isn't in keeping with the aesthetic. I'm thinking of making a competition thread for people to design me a bullshido tattoo.
And yeah, I get it, ten years from now the website might not even be here and blah blah blah and I will regret blah blah blah because blah blah blah. I have my first hip hop crew's name tattooed on my back, is the crew still together? No, it hasn't been for nigh on 8 years. Have I done any HapKiDo (which is tattooed on my arm) in the past three years? No, I fucking haven't. Do I regret either tattoo? Fucking HELL NO. I still love what they represent to me, what they taught me, how they affected the course of my life.
Bullshido has affected positively and been a major part of my life's journey more than both HapKiDo and SainAZilum put together.GET A RED BELT OR DIE TRYIN'.
Style: Striking/Grappling/Poking1
I'm getting "Your name" tatooed on my left fist, and "your face" tatooed on my right fist. So I can say "My left fist has your name written all over it" when I'm threatening motherfuckers.
Wait, did I or somebody else make already say that ****? I get confused sometimes.Originally Posted by Goju - joe
Yeah, I said it. I actually wrote "your face" and "your name" on a baseball bat and then very nearly got arrested because I had in in my car when cops pulled me over (mental note, do not keep a baseball bat next to you in your car). The story is on here somewhere and it is a true story, despite the awesomeness of it suggesting it is fabricated.GET A RED BELT OR DIE TRYIN'.

Tattoo Search is Fun
Battlefields, I like your "no regrets" attitude man. I was mostly joking about the Tie-Fighter tatt, but not about getting a tatt in general. Some more tattoo idea's I've had....
I've thought about getting "lieben und arbeiten" (Freud's reply when asked what a healthy human needs to be able to do, translates into "love and work")
Also, Comic Book ****:
And I like a lot of the art from Promethea

Giving back is something the Chicago Wolves take pride in. Each season, the team identifies initiatives, both old and new, that allow the most good to be done for charities in the Chicagoland area. We look back at a few of last year's programs.
Team Up with #29
This season, Wolves left wing Brett Sterling wanted the points he earned to matter more than just on the scoresheet. He recruited fans to "Team Up with 29" on a month-by-month basis and pledge a donation –- however big or small –- for each point he notched. In total, Sterling's 45 points in 48 games enabled he and his fans to raise more than $8,000 for Chicago Wolves Charities.
Sterling himself was overwhelmed by the support, sending a thankful Tweet after the season:
Thankful and proud of all the @chicago_wolves fans who helped support #teamupwith29. We raised over 8K thanks to your generosity.#bestfans— Brett Sterling (@bsterls) May 3, 2013
For a full list of pledges and charities, click here.
Haydar's Hounds
The sound of barking dogs has become a staple at Chicago Wolves games on Saturday nights for a great cause. Backed by Pet Supplies Plus, EVO, Natural Balance Pet Foods and Nutro, the City of Chicago's Animal Care and Control came to Allstate Arena once a month to run the Haydar's Hounds program and find Wolves fans who could provide loving homes for their dogs. They did just that for 80 lucky pups during the 2012-13 season and many more are still available at shelters across the Chicago area.
Do you have a great dog adoption story? Share it with us here! You could be featured on our website.
Read to Succeed
Wolves players love to read and for the 18th consecutive season they talked about the importance of reading with kids across the Chicago area. But when Brad Hunt or Michael Davies show up at your local library, they do more than just discuss a favorite author --- they bring a few fun props. At each Read to Succeed stop, presented by J.U.L.I.E. and Butternut Bread, one fan was chosen to dress up in the player's full equipment, from shoulder pads to gloves. And with plenty of time left for autographs, the events were a perfect mix of school and sports.
French Class Visits
Hockey is a game that draws players from all kinds of backgrounds and the Wolves were fortunate enough to have some native French speakers eager to engage a younger crowd in their first language. Guillaume Desbiens, Yann Sauve and others made more than a dozen appearances in high school French classes across the city last season, helping students understand the nuances of a dialect they don't hear often. Students came away with some cool Wolves prizes as well as a new appreciation for a language they love.
Wolves Wish
The Chicago Wolves live by the philosophy that what we do is about more than a game. Each season, fans write to tell us about amazing stories of perseverance, survival and hope among the many faces who come out to games. Matthew Martin has one such tale. Born with multiple congenital heart defects and a veteran of four open-heart surgeries, Matthew suffered a stroke that rendered him unable to play contact sports. But that setback hasn't deterred him from his love of hockey. Matthew's wish was to throw out T-shirts during intermission with Skates, and he did just that on April 20.
If you or someone you know would like a Wolves Wish to be granted, write to us here.
Shirts Off Their Backs
It has become a favorite tradition of Wolves fans to win a jersey off the back of a player after the last regular-season game of the season. Throughout the year, the Wolves sold Pepsi scratch-off tickets for $1. The 20 lucky winners who discovered a grand prize label on their card were on the ice April 21 to meet a player and receive a one-of-a-kind token. In all, the program raised $14,000 for Chicago Wolves Charities.

8 phrases from the election we'll probably never hear again
Obama, Romney, and some odd moments.
Obama, Romney, and some odd moments.
by Martha Gill Published
Language is an organic and evolving entity, and like any organism it must constantly shed dead-weight to make room for new growth. The election has claimed several casualties, and a number of phrases are now dead, frozen in time, forever pointing back to 2012. Here's eight of them. RIP:
1. "I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love." This well-known phrase will now be forever associated with Romney - who claimed it early in the race for the White House.
2. "I don't want to kill Big Bird; I love Big Bird." Again - Romney has firmly put his stamp on this phrase. People are going to have to find another way to frame their perfectly innocent intentions when found hanging around the back of Muppet Studios with a shotgun and a bag of birdseed.
3."You didn't build that." Can't say this any more. Even if you once watched them try to assemble a flat-packed Ikea coffee table and it's really obvious that they didn't.
4. "Binders full of women." If you literally have binders full of women you will no longer be able to boast about it without calling to mind this moment:
5. "47 per cent." The statistic that can no longer speak its name.
6. "This all dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya." If you're ever trying to explain the phenomenon that is Donald Trump, remember that this cracking piece of psychological analysis is the property of Obama. Crediting required.
7. "I'm tired of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney." Abigael Evans, four, has made this useful phrase her own:
8. And any phrase, really, that's addressed to an empty chair. We all have to stop doing that now.

A stunning new composite photograph from the Hubble Space Telescope, made up of more than 2,000 images shot by multiple cameras over the past 10 years and combined in what amounts to a 23-day time exposure, shows some 5,500 galaxies in tiny field of view, including some dating back to just 450 million years after the big bang birth of the universe, astronomers said Tuesday.
Dubbed the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photograph represents the deepest view of the universe yet achieved, giving astronomers a "time tunnel"-like glimpse back across 13.2 billion years of cosmic history.
"The XDF is the deepest image of the sky ever obtained and reveals the faintest and most distant galaxies ever seen," Garth Illingworth, a Hubble researcher at the University of California at Santa Cruz, said in a NASA statement. "XDF allows us to explore further back in time than ever before."
Earlier observations of pulsating Cepheid variable stars in remote galaxies allowed Hubble astronomers to conclude the universe is roughly 13.7 billion years old. The XDF photograph represents a look back across time from the present to within 450 million years of the big bang, showing the broad spectrum of galactic evolution in a single image.
Mature spiral galaxies that look similar to Earth's Milky Way and nearby Andromeda can be seen, along with spherical ellipticals and smaller, dimmer infant galaxies from much further back in time.
"So we [see] a time when the first galaxies were forming, the metals, all the elements that make our bodies, make the Earth and basically our whole solar system were starting to be built up in this time," said Illingworth. "So it was a time...when the universe was being transformed, the first galaxies were being built up, a dramatic time in the life of the universe."
The Hubble Space Telescope was aimed at a small patch of sky in the southern constellation Fornax where an earlier time exposure called the Ultra Deep Field was taken in 2003 and 2004. The UDF was made up of pictures taken during one million seconds of exposure time, or about two weeks.
"The Ultra Deep Field really allowed us to do things that were not possible before," said Marc Postman, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute. "We saw things that were much farther away than any previous observations had shown us, and also that the shapes and sizes of these galaxies were getting continuously smaller as they got farther away."
The XDF doubled the exposure time and, with the addition of a new camera in 2009, increased the telescope's sensitivity to infrared light. The new images, combined with Ultra Deep Field data, show some 5,500 galaxies in a smaller field of view. According to NASA, the faintest galaxies are one ten-billionth the brightness a human eye can detect.
The new camera "enabled us to take the next step in a slightly different range of the spectrum, a little redder," said Illingworth. "But we could actually take the two data sets and explore in ways we could never do before."
Hubble's much more powerful successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, is expected push back the frontier even more, capturing the red-shifted light of the first generations of stars and perhaps shedding light on the mystery of galaxy formation. The JWST is scheduled for launch around 2018.

Select Health of South Carolina was a top four finalist and received honorable mention in the diversity communications category at PR News' Corporate Social Responsibility Awards luncheon, held Feb. 11 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Select Health was acknowledged for its culturally competent cervical cancer screening initiative aimed at reducing health disparities among African American, white and Hispanic/Latina women on First Choice, the state's first and largest Medicaid plan. This statewide initiative was implemented by Summerville resident Jennie Butler, health promotion program specialist at Select Health, as well as Jill Lemay, culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) coordinator of Mount Pleasant and Kimberley Wilson, community outreach specialist from Columbia.
