My first ever visit to this hotel ans stay over the weekend would remain as a fond memory.
Excellent Choice

September 28, 2015
The reviews looked great, so we went with it. It was an excellent choice. If there is something to critique, it is the rather old appearance of some of the inside structure in the rooms. Everything else was absolutely great. Would unquestionably go back. Kitchen in suite was stocked! Beds were great. Room was quiet and very relaxing.

South African prisons, which house both sentenced inmates and pre-trial detainees, are notoriously overcrowded and dangerous. In 2007, the Jail Commission, appointed by former President Thabo Mbeki, described "the horrific scourge of sexual violence that plagues prisons where appalling abuses and acts of sexual perversion are perpetrated on helpless and unprotected prisoners." In light of the nation's HIV crisis, the Commission noted that these abuses are "effectively, by omission, imposing a death sentence on vulnerable prisoners."
JDI partners with key stakeholders, including local advocacy groups, corrections officials, and oversight bodies, to address rampant sexual abuse in South Africa's prisons. JDI is currently working with the country's Department of Correctional Services to develop a policy framework for addressing prisoner rape. In addition, JDI collaborates with local organizations to provide comprehensive workshops for corrections officials and other facility staff. These sessions increase officials' understanding of the dynamics of prisoner rape while providing concrete strategies for preventing sexual violence and responding effectively to incidents of abuse. Hundreds of South African corrections officials -- including line staff, psychologists, chaplains, and prison administrators -- have participated in these workshops.
As part of the effort to raise awareness about sexual abuse in South Africa's detention facilities and the need for reform, JDI has briefed the parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services on the scope of the problem and key recommendations to address this violence. JDI has also advised the Committee in its efforts to more fully incorporate prisoner rape into its legislative oversight function, which includes conducting regular visits to correctional centers around the country.
Since the start of its South Africa initiative, JDI has collaborated with the Judicial Inspectorate of Correctional Services, an independent oversight agency that employs more than 200 community-based ombudspersons, so-called Independent Correctional Centre Visitors. These ombudspersons have access to all South African correctional centers, are able to speak confidentially with inmates, and can assist with requests ranging from facility transfers to access to medical care. JDI has conducted workshops on sexual violence for these officials with an emphasis on how to detect and respond to prisoner rape. The monitoring and oversight provided by the Judicial Inspectorate's staff is a model for other nations, and JDI is committed to providing lessons learned in South Africa to policymakers and officials in the U.S., where such oversight is much more limited.
JDI seeks to improve conditions in Mexican detention facilities, working closely with non-governmental organizations, corrections agencies, and government prison oversight agencies. Few Mexican inmates come forward with complaints about sexual abuse in prison, and there are no official studies of the prevalence of this type of violence. However, most observers agree that this lack of formal complaints is in no way a reflection of safe facilities. On the contrary, former inmates, prison officials, prison ombudspersons, and human rights advocates agree that it is fear, shame, and a belief among inmates that no help is available that prevents survivors of sexual abuse from speaking out.
JDI works with its local partners to bring the problem of sexual violence in detention out of the shadows and to ensure that Mexican officials take appropriate measures to prevent and respond to such abuses. In collaboration with the Mexico City Human Rights Commission and the National Human Rights Commission, JDI has worked to strengthen the country's independent prison oversight system. For example, JDI has provided training to government ombudspersons who enter Mexican facilities regularly to speak with inmates and to monitor prison conditions. The JDI training workshops focus on the unique dynamics of sexual violence in detention, including how to detect this form of abuse in an environment where inmates are fearful.
JDI is working with the national human rights commission, non-governmental organizations, and lawmakers to raise awareness about and advance strategies to address sexual violence in Philippine detention facilities.
Primary among these efforts is JDI's advocacy in support of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), a bill originally introduced in the Philippine Congress in 2008 that is modeled after the U.S. law by the same name. The legislation calls for the establishment of a zero-tolerance standard for sexual abuse in detention, the collection of data on the incidence of prisoner rape, an examination of the best and worst performing detention facilities, and the provision of grants and technical assistance to support efforts to address the problem. JDI submitted proposed amendments to the Philippine PREA to the Congressional committees considering the bill, and provided documentation for the bill's sponsors regarding the remarkable progress the U.S. PREA has brought about in the effort to end sexual violence in U.S. detention facilities. A revised version of the bill, incorporating JDI's proposed amendments, was introduced in January 2012.
While little research has been done on prisoner rape in the Philippines, the country's detention facilities exhibit many of the conditions that lead to sexual abuse, including severe overcrowding, lack of adequate supervision, failure to separate the most vulnerable inmates from likely predators, widespread homophobia, and a culture of silence around the problem of sexual abuse. The failure consistently to separate female detainees from male detainees, and juveniles from adults, has resulted in many documented instances of sexual abuse.
In addition to conducting legislative advocacy, JDI provides training and technical assistance to independent ombudspersons who regularly enter Philippine detention facilities, and has contributed to a shadow report by a coalition of local NGO's to the United Nations Committee Against Torture for the Committee's periodic review of the Philippines.

Aduana Stars suspend striker James Abban for making 'misinformed allegations' against coach Bogdanovic
Aduana Stars have slapped striker James Abban with an indefinite suspension for admitting to the charge of 'misinforming' the public over an alleged gun threat by coach Milisav Bogdanovic.
The former Hearts of Oak striker claimed he was threatened with a gun by the expatriate trainer following heated exchanges.
Aduana Stars in a press release announced the sanctions on the striker after setting up a committee to investigate the serious allegations made by the player.
"Due to the developments leading towards our First Capital Plus League match against Wa All Stars, the following facts were established," portions of the club's press release read.
"The player denied before the committee that the head coach pulled or threaten him –James Abban – with a gun.
"Number two, the player also apologized for misinforming the media that the coach threatened him with a gun.
"Three, he apologized for the unfortunate misbehaviour against the two coaches – that is the coach and his assistant.
"Under the circumstance, the player has been suspended indefinitely from the club's activities and must retract and apologize within two weeks of all unfortunate statements made in the media.
"He must also apologize by writing unconditionally to the board, management, head coach and his assistant."

MF trains with UFC fighter Oli Thompson
Check out this video of Men's Fitness's Nick Hutchings going through a conditioning session with UK UFC heavyweight Oli Thompson.
Former strongman and UCMMA heavyweight champion Oli Thompson has just been signed to the UFC. In his first fight for the promotion – at UFC 138 in Birmingham on 5th November – he's taking on submission specialist Philip De Fries.
We went to meet Thompson and his trainer Christian Vila at Cheetah's gym in Brighton to have a go at one of the conditioning sessions Thompson is going through to prepare himself for the bout.
While we weren't suprised by Thompson's colossal strength, we were shocked at how quick and explosive he was. De Fries is certainly going to have his hands full at UFC 138.

Jacksonville (2-12, 0-1 A-Sun)
Lipscomb (5-8, 2-0 A-Sun)
9/21/2012 | Nashville, TN | Attendance: 282
Friday, September 21, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Caitlin Dotson recorded her 1,000th career assist as the Lipscomb volleyball team defeated Jacksonville 3-0 (25-9, 25-20, 25-17) at Allen Arena in its Atlantic Sun Conference home opener.
Dotson entered the match needing only five assists for the milestone and reached that in the first set against the Dolphins (2-12, 0-1 A-Sun). The junior finished with 40 assists, the seventh time that the Louisville, Ky., native has had at least 40 assists in a match.
"Congrats to her and all that she's gone through to get to that point," Lipscomb head coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "It is a big deal. Dot has definitely earned that and I'm proud of her."
The Lady Bisons (5-8, 2-0 A-Sun) got off to a hot start scoring the first four points in the first set on the way to a 25-9 win.
"I thought we did a nice job executing the game plan from the get-go, and that was important to me setting the tone early," Rosenthal said. "Especially being at home, I think it's important to come out and dictate our play."
Jacksonville scored the first two points in the second set, but then the Lady Bisons scored the next six points and went on to win the 25-20.
The third set was close at the beginning with the score tied at seven, but LU outscored the Dolphins 8-3 and won the third set 25-17.
Sophomore Jewell Dobson had 15 kills and a hitting percentage of .700, which ranks second all-time at Lipscomb for a player with at least 12 kills in a match.
"Jewell's a special player and she'll continue to be a special player," Rosenthal said. "She did it from different spots tonight."
The Lady Bisons extended their winning streak to 10 matches over Jacksonville. They have not dropped a set to the Dolphins since the 2008 season.

Losses by Top 2 opens door for Notre Dame, Alabama, UGA
No. 3 Notre Dame stayed undefeated with an uncharacteristically easy victory at home and then had the rest of the night to watch as the teams in front of it in the national championship race lost.
The Fighting Irish hammered Wake Forest 38-0 on senior day in South Bend, Ind., on Saturday.
Then things got really good for the Irish — and Alabama, Georgia, Florida and maybe even Florida State.
No. 1 Oregon, second in the BCS standings, lost 17-14 at home in overtime to Stanford. Down in Texas, Baylor blasted No. 2 Kansas State, which was first in the BCS standings, 52-24 in Waco.
On Sunday, Notre Dame likely will be the No. 1 team in the nation. And Alabama, which lost last week to Texas A&M and shut out FCS doormat Western Carolina on Saturday, could very well be No. 2.
No. 14 STANFORD 17, No. 1 OREGON 14, OT
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Jordan Williamson hit a 37-yard field goal in overtime and Stanford upset Oregon, denying the Ducks a chance to clinch the Pac-12 North and derailing their straight shot at the BCS championship game.
If Stanford and Oregon finish with wins in their final games next weekend, both will finish with one conference loss, which means Stanford will win the head-to-head matchup and go to the Pac-12 championship game for a chance to play in the Rose Bowl.
Stanford (9-2, 7-1) will visit No. 1UCLA, which defeated No. 21 USC 32-29 earlier in the day to claim the Pac-12 South. Oregon (10-1, 7-1) will play rival Oregon State in the annual Civil War rivalry game in Corvallis.
The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak for the Ducks, which was longest current streak in the nation. It was Stanford's fifth straight win.
BAYLOR 52, No. 2 KANSAS STATE 24
WACO, Texas (AP) — Glasco Martin ran for three touchdowns, Lache Seastrunk had 185 yards rushing with an 80-yard score and Baylor again upset the BCS picture with a late-season victory.
Collin Klein may be a Heisman Trophy front-runner no more after throwing three interceptions while being pressured and harassed all night by Baylor (5-5, 2-5). He threw for 286 yards, but had only 39 yards on 17 carries for Kansas State (10-1, 7-1 Big 12).
Nick Florence, the successor to Heisman winner Robert Griffin III threw both of his touchdowns in the first half when the Bears jumped out to a 28-7 lead.
On the same November weekend last season, Baylor upset then fifth-ranked Oklahoma after two teams ahead of the Sooners had already lost that day.
No. 3 NOTRE DAME 38, WAKE FOREST 0
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Everett Golson threw touchdown passes of 50, 34 and 2 yards, Cierre Wood scored on a 68-yard run and Notre Dame finished the season undefeated at home for the first time since 1998.
The Fighting Irish improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1989 and need to beat Southern California to finish a regular season undefeated for the first time since 1988, the last time they won a national championship. The Demon Deacons (5-6) fell to 1-33 all-time against top 5 teams, their lone win coming against No. 4 Tennessee in 1946.
The victory virtually assures the Irish of a berth in a BCS game. The Irish need to beat USC and likely need either No. 1 Oregon or No. 2 Kansas State to lose to reach the BCS title game.
No. 4 ALABAMA 49, WESTERN CAROLINA 0
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Eddie Lacy rushed for three first-half touchdowns and AJ McCarron set Alabama's single-season record for passing TDs.
The Crimson Tide (10-1) rebounded from a loss to No. 9 Texas A&M by building a 42-0 halftime lead against the Catamounts (1-10), a Football Championship Subdivision team with two wins in as many seasons. It was Alabama's third shutout of the season.
McCarron completed all six of his attempts for 133 yards and his 21st touchdown before exiting midway through the second quarter. Lacy ran for 99 yards on 10 carries with two 7-yard touchdowns and a 3-yarder. Neither played after halftime.
No. 5 GEORGIA 45, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 14
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes and Todd Gurley became only the second true freshman in Georgia history to rush for 1,000 yards.
Georgia (10-1) reached 10 wins for the eighth time in Mark Richt's dozen seasons as coach. Georgia Southern (8-3) had a shot at the halftime lead, only to get scuttled by a penalty, and Murray took control from there.
He completed a 24-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Mitchell with just 4 seconds left in the half, sending Georgia to the locker room with a 17-7 lead. In the third quarter, Murray hooked up with Chris Conley on a pair of scoring passes, sandwiched around a 43-yarder to Tavarres King.
No. 6 OHIO STATE 21, WISCONSIN 14
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Carlos Hyde scored on a 2-yard run in overtime and the Buckeyes stayed perfect.
The Buckeyes (11-0, 7-0) clinched the Leaders Division title outright with the win. But they are ineligible for the postseason as part of their punishment for NCAA violations under former coach Jim Tressel, and the best they can hope for is to end the year unbeaten and to maybe capture the AP Top 25 title.
Montee Ball scored his 78th touchdown, tying Travis Prentice's major-college record for career scores. But he fumbled on what would have been the record-breaker with 2:46 left in regulation.
The Badgers forced overtime anyway, on Jacob Pedersen's 5-yard catch, but Curt Phillips couldn't find him again in overtime.
No. 7 FLORIDA 23, JACKSONVILLE STATE 0
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — No. 7 Florida used a strong defensive effort to overcome a sluggish offensive performance.
The Gators scored a touchdown on their first possession when Mike Gillislee plowed into the end zone from 7 yards out. But that was the only offensive touchdown all day from Florida.
The Gators (10-1) also scored on a 7-yard interception return by Jonathan Bostic early in the third quarter. Caleb Sturgis added three field goals from 21, 44 and 47 yards out to complete the scoring.
Florida's defense allowed a 76-yard pass completion on the first play of the game, but held the Gamecocks to 176 total yards the rest of the game. Jacksonville State, an FCS program that plays in the Ohio Valley Conference, completed its season with a 6-5 record.
No. 8 LSU 41, MISSISSIPPI 35
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Jeremy Hill scored his third touchdown with 15 seconds left to lift LSU to a victory.
The game included seven turnovers, numerous momentum swings and long touchdowns, perhaps none better than Odell Beckham Jr.'s 89-yard punt return for a score that evoked memories of Billy Cannon's famous return against the same team, along the same sideline, for the same yardage back in 1959.
Beckham's return tied the game at 35, but LSU (9-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) still needed a pair of clutch sacks by Anthony Johnson and Lavar Edwards to drive Ole Miss (5-6, 2-5) out of routine field goal range later in the fourth quarter, setting up the winning drive.
Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace passed for 310 yards and two TDs and ran for two scores, but also was intercepted three times.
No. 9 TEXAS A&M 47, SAM HOUSTON STATE 28
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Johnny Manziel threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for 100 yards and two more scores in a bit more than a half for Texas A&M.
The redshirt freshman threw an 89-yard touchdown pass to Uzoma Nwachukwu on A&M's first offensive play of the second half. The dual-threat quarterback then attempted the extra point, but it sailed wide right, ending the Heisman hopeful's day with A&M (9-2) leading 40-0.
He broke the NCAA freshman quarterback rushing record of 1,029 set by Missouri's Brad Smith in 2002, and the freshman record for total offense of 3,827 set in 2000 by Jared Lorenzen on A&M's first drive. He also became the fifth player and first freshman in FBS history to pass for at least 3,000 yards with at least 1,000 yards rushing in a season.
His 4,161 yards are a school record for total offense in a season.
No. 10 FLORIDA STATE 41, MARYLAND 14
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Devonta Freeman ran for 148 yards and two touchdowns as Florida State earned a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Florida State (10-1, 7-1) led 27-0 at halftime and cruised to its fifth straight victory. The Seminoles clinched the league's Atlantic Division title for the second time in three years and will play for its 13th ACC crown on Dec. 1.
EJ Manuel completed 17 of 23 passes for 144 yards and two scores to supplement a running game that gained 237 yards.
Operating against an injury-plagued Maryland team using a linebacker at quarterback, Florida State allowed 170 yards.
The defeat formally ended any chance Maryland had of becoming bowl eligible. The Terrapins (4-7, 2-5) have dropped five straight.
No. 11 CLEMSON 62, NORTH CAROLINA STATE 48
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Tajh Boyd threw for five touchdowns and ran for three more scores to lead Clemson to a record-shattering win.
The Tigers (10-1, 7-1 Atlantic Coast) gained 754 yards, two off the school record. The 110 combined points were just seven off the ACC record set by Georgia Tech and North Carolina last week.
The Wolfpack (6-5, 3-4) led 24-13 early in the second quarter before Clemson scored 42 straight. Boyd was responsible for every Clemson touchdown. The junior was 30-for-44 for 426 yards and ran for 105 yards — the combined 531 yards set another school record.
The Tigers won a share of the ACC's Atlantic Division title, but the loss to Florida State keeps them out of the title game.
No. 12 SOUTH CAROLINA 24, WOFFORD 7
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Kenny Miles rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown and South Carolina pulled out a closer-than-expected 24-7 win over an FCS opponent.
The victory gave Steve Spurrier his 64th win in eight seasons with the Gamecocks (9-2), tying him with Rex Enright for most ever in program history. But it wasn't until a 17-point fourth quarter that Spurrier and South Carolina could rest easy in this one.
Adam Yates' 23-yard field goal broke a 7-all tie with 11:57 to go. After the Terriers (8-3) failed on a 4th-and-1 at their 34, Connor Shaw threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Ace Sanders to widen the lead.
Moments later, Wofford's Eric Breitenstein fumbled and Akeem Auguste returned it 31 yards for a touchdown, making it 24-7.
It was the Gamecocks 11th straight win at Williams-Brice Stadium and completed their first perfect run at home (7-0) since 1987.
No. 13 OKLAHOMA 50, WEST VIRGINIA 49
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Landry Jones threw six touchdown passes, including a 5-yarder to Kenny Stills with 24 seconds left, to lift Oklahoma to a wild win.
Jones finished with 554 passing yards to break his own school record. He needed a terrific game to offset the performances of West Virginia's tandem of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.
It marked the first time in 16 tries that Oklahoma (8-2, 6-1 Big 12) overcame a fourth-quarter deficit to win dating to 2007.
Oklahoma saw its conference title chances revived with No. 2 Kansas State's 52-24 loss to Baylor. The Wildcats (10-1, 7-1) beat the Sooners earlier this season and can still clinch the league's automatic Bowl Championship Series berth with a win on Dec. 1 against No. 18 Texas or with another Oklahoma loss.
Oklahoma has games left against Oklahoma State next Saturday and at TCU on Dec. 1. Any loss also would eliminate the Sooners from consideration for an at-large BCS bowl berth.
Austin rushed for a school-record 344 yards and set a Big 12 record with 572 all-purpose yards. Bailey had 13 catches for 205 yards and four touchdowns for West Virginia, (5-5, 2-5) which lost its fifth straight game.
No. 16 NEBRASKA 38, MINNESOTA 14
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Taylor Martinez threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns to Kenny Bell while becoming Nebraska's career passing leader.
The Cornhuskers (9-2, 6-1), who had to come from behind in the second half in four of its first five Big Ten wins, scored on four of their first six possessions against the Gophers (6-5, 2-5).
Nebraska can clinch the Legends Division title — and a berth in the conference championship game against Wisconsin on Dec. 1 — with a win at Iowa on Friday or a Michigan loss at Ohio State Saturday.
Martinez passed 36 yards to a wide-open Bell for the Huskers' first touchdown, and they later connected for a 30-yarder along the sideline.
Minnesota had 98 total yards entering the fourth quarter. Nebraska pulled its starters, and the Gophers scored on MarQueis Gray's 1- and 6-yard runs.
No. 17 UCLA 38, No. 21 USC 28
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Brett Hundley passed for 234 yards and a touchdown and rushed for two more scores as UCLA clinched the Pac-12 South title and snapped a five-game losing streak in the crosstown rivalry.
Eric Kendricks blocked a punt and made a fourth-quarter interception for the Bruins (9-2, 6-2 Pac-12), who overcame intermittent second-half rain and USC's star-studded lineup for a gutsy victory that puts them atop Los Angeles football.
A year after USC obliterated the Bruins 50-0 in a game that led to a coaching change in Westwood, UCLA punctuated its one-year revitalization under Jim Mora with its first win over the Trojans (7-4, 5-4) since 2006 — just their second in 14 years.
Matt Barkley passed for 301 yards and two touchdowns, but threw two interceptions in the Trojans' third loss in four games.
UTAH STATE 48, No. 19 LOUISIANA TECH 41, OT
RUSTON, La. (AP) — Kerwynn Williams scored on a 4-yard touchdown run to give Utah State a lead in overtime and the Aggies stopped Louisiana Tech on four plays to win and clinch at least a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship.
Chuckie Keeton threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns, rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns for Utah State (9-2, 5-0), which let a 24-point, third-quarter lead slip away against one of the nation's highest scoring teams.
The Aggies scored on their first offensive play — an 86-yard touchdown after a screen pass from Keeton to Williams — and racked up 646 yards of total offense.
Utah State jumped out to a 27-3 lead by early in the third quarter, but Louisiana Tech (9-2, 4-1) rallied to tie the game at 41 on Matt Nelson's 32-yard field goal as time expired in regulation.
Louisiana Tech's Colby Cameron threw an interception late in the second quarter, snapping his NCAA-record streak of 445 pass attempts without an interception. Cameron completed 35 of 60 passes for 396 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
No. 22 RUTGERS 10, CINCINNATI 3
CINCINNATI (AP) — Savon Huggins ran for a career-high 179 yards, and Rutgers' defense had another shut-down showing and the Scarlet Knights stayed in control of the Big East.
Rutgers (9-1, 5-0) remained the only unbeaten team in conference play. The Scarlet Knights finish with games at Pittsburgh and home against No. 20 Louisville, which has one Big East loss.
Huggins filled in for the injured Jawan Jamison and had a career day all around, leading an offense that did just enough. Gary Nova threw a 71-yard touchdown pass to Mark Harrison in the second quarter, and Nick Borgese made a 42-yard field goal in the fourth.
The league's top defense took it from there, shutting out Cincinnati (7-3, 3-2) until Tony Miliano kicked a 36-yard field goal with 11 seconds left.
No. 23 MICHIGAN 42, IOWA 17
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Devin Gardner accounted for six touchdowns to help Michigan rout Iowa.
The Wolverines (8-3, 6-1 Big Ten) weren't stopped on offense by the hapless Hawkeyes (4-7, 2-5) until Gardner threw an interception early in the fourth quarter.
Gardner threw three touchdowns and ran for three scores. He became the first Michigan quarterback to account for six TDs since 1983 when Steve Smith had as many passing and rushing scores in a game at Minnesota.
Denard Robinson started at running back and took snaps at quarterback and ran 13 times for 98 yards in his last home game.
Iowa has lost five straight.
OKLAHOMA STATE 59, No. 23 TEXAS TECH 21
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Isaiah Anderson had a career-best 174 yards receiving and caught three long touchdown passes from Clint Chelf in his final home game for Oklahoma State.
Zack Craig blocked a pair of punts, returning one for a touchdown, as the Cowboys (7-3, 5-2 Big 12) won their fourth straight in the series and the second in a row in decisive fashion. The Red Raiders' 66-6 loss in last season's game was the most lopsided defeat in the program's history.
Chelf passed for 229 yards in his second career start. J.W. Walsh, who had what coach Mike Gundy called a season-ending injury four weeks ago, ran for one touchdown and threw for another out of a short-yardage package.
Seth Doege threw for 230 yards with two interceptions and a single touchdown pass for Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4).
No. 25 KENT STATE 31, BOWLING GREEN 24
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Dri Archer had two long touchdown runs and finished with 241 yards rushing, leading Kent State to its first Mid-American Conference title game.
The Golden Flashes' defense stopped Bowling Green twice within the last five minutes inside Kent State territory.
Luke Wollet's interception in the end zone with 21 seconds left sealed the victory.
Bowling Green (7-4, 5-2) had driven to the Kent State 14 before coming up empty on four consecutive throws.
Archer scored on runs of 79 and 74 yards for Kent State (10-1, 7-0 MAC).
WACO, Texas — Collin Klein and second-ranked Kansas State can still get to a BCS game. Getting to the BCS championship game is all but lost.
"Anger, frustration, obviously disappointment," Wildcats tight end Travis Tannahill said as he described his feelings after a 52-24 loss at Baylor on Saturday night. "Confused. We just don't know what went wrong. We had a good week of practice. We felt prepared, everything we've done the last 10 games."
Except win.
"It's a hard one," Klein said.
Glasco Martin ran for three touchdowns, Lache Seastrunk had 185 yards rushing with an 80-yard score and the Bears again upset the BCS picture with a late-season victory.
A week after the Wildcats (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) took over the No. 1 spot in the BCS standings following defending national champion Alabama's loss, it now looks like it's going to somebody else's turn at the top.
Maybe Notre Dame, which could get its championship shot after Kansas State and No. 1 Oregon both lost. And the Crimson Tide suddenly is back in the title picture, along with a couple of other SEC teams.
Also, K-State quarterback Klein may be a Heisman Trophy front-runner no more after throwing three interceptions and getting sacked twice while being pressured and harassed all night. He threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns, but had only 39 yards on 17 carries with a score.
On first-and-goal from the 6 in the fourth quarter, Klein had four straight carries and couldn't score — twice trying from the 1.
"I don't know if I would call it getting smacked in the mouth, but they took it to us," coach Bill Snyder said. "I really thought we prepared well, but as we found out, we didn't. I don't think we handled the situation as well as we should have been able to."
Nick Florence, Baylor's successor to Heisman winner Robert Griffin III, completed 20 of 32 passes for 238 yards, and ran nine times for 47 yards. Both of his passing touchdowns came in the first half when the Bears (5-5, 2-5) jumped out to a 28-7 lead.
"All week we believed we were going to beat them and if we did we weren't going to be surprised when it happened," Florence said.
It was on the same weekend last November, on another Saturday night in Waco, when Griffin and Baylor upset then fifth-ranked Oklahoma after two teams ahead of the Sooners had already lost that day.
Kansas State has plenty of time for this loss to simmer. The Wildcats have Thanksgiving week off before playing their regular season finale Dec. 1 at home against No. 18 Texas.
If the Wildcats beat Texas, they will be guaranteed at least a share of the Big 12 title and get the league's automatic BCS spot.
That may be the only solace after such a crushing loss against Baylor, which still needs to win another game to be bowl eligible.
The Bears hadn't beaten an opponent ranked so high since a 13-7 win over No. 2 Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day 1957. They tied No. 1 Texas during the 1941 season.
Students and fans dressed in gold swarmed the field to celebrate when Saturday night's game ended.
Klein, who finished 27 of 50 passing, had thrown only three interceptions the first 10 games.
After Martin's 2-yard TD put Baylor up 28-7 with 2:54 left in the first half, Kansas State scored 10 consecutive points before the break — and then got the ball to start the second half, only to have Klein throw his second interception.
Martin finished with 113 yards rushing.
There was a classic 13-yard run by Klein to start the second half, then two deep incompletions before he was picked off by Sam Holl, who returned it to the Kansas State 38. Four plays later, after a Florence 13-yard keeper, Martin scored on a 4-yard run to make it 35-17.
"We gained a little bit of momentum and we just couldn't sustain anything consistently over time," Klein said. "We definitely knew we were going to have to play well to win. They just played better than we did."
The Wildcats then got a 50-yard kickoff return from Tramaine Thompson, but Klein had three consecutive incompletions leading to a punt that pinned Baylor at its 1.
Florence threw an interception, Randall Evans grabbing the ball at the 1 but immediately getting dragged down by intended receiver Terrance Williams. Klein plunged in from a yard out on the next play, but that would be the last score for the Wildcats.
On the first play after Klein was picked off by Joe Williams in the end zone late in the third quarter, Seastrunk took a handoff and raced 80 yards for the score.
Chris Harper had 11 catches for 123 yards for the Wildcats.
Baylor scored less than 2 minutes into the game on Florence's 38-yard TD to Tevin Reese after completing passes to different receivers on each of the first four plays.
The Bears then tried a short kickoff that K-State recovered. To make it worse, a 15-yard penalty for interfering with the returner set the Wildcats up at the Baylor 38 and led to Klein's 8-yard TD run.
A holding call wiped out a 95-yard return by Antwan Goodley on the ensuing kickoff, but the Bears regrouped to go 75 yards in 11 plays for Florence's 12-yard TD run that made it 14-7.
Early in the second quarter, Klein was picked off by Williams on a deep throw.
K-State had a fumble recovery nullified by an offside call. The Wildcats jumped again on a third-and-9, and Florence took off running for a 10-yard gain, plus an additional 15 yards when Dante Barnett was flagged for unnecessary roughness for lowering his shoulder and a hard hit on the Baylor quarterback, who threw an interception two plays later.
About the only stretch that Klein really looked like himself was that closing 2 minutes of the first half.
On the first play after Martin's score, Klein threw a 36-yard pass to Harper and 5 yards to Tyler Lockett. After a pass interference penalty against Baylor in the end zone put the ball at the 7, Klein threw a TD to Harper,
Baylor then went three-and-out, with Barnett preventing a first down with his open-field tackle of Reese on third down.
The Wildcats then had a 10-play drive in 51 seconds, capped by Anthony Cantele's 23-yard field goal on the last play of the half, right after Thompson's 22-yard reception.
EUGENE, Ore. — As Stanford's game-winning field goal tumbled through the goal posts, Oregon running back Kenjon Barner fell to his knees in dejection. With a clear path to the BCS championship game, the speedy Ducks slipped up.
A 17-14 loss in overtime to the No. 14 Stanford denied top-ranked Oregon a chance to clinch the Pac-12 North's spot in the conference championship game. And it put a bid for a national championship nearly out of reach.
"I told those guys that it's tough, things aren't always going to go your way. That's life. That's football" coach Chip Kelly said after the game. "I don't fault them for their effort. It hurts so bad because they invested so much as a group. "
Stanford players rushed the field after Jordan Williamson's 37-yard field goal in overtime to win it.
If both Stanford and Oregon win in their final games next weekend, both will finish with one conference loss, which means Stanford will win the head-to-head matchup and go to the Pac-12 championship for a chance to play in the Rose Bowl.
After winning its fifth straight, Stanford (9-2, 7-1) will play its finale next weekend at No. 17 UCLA, which defeated No. 21 USC 38-28 earlier in the day to claim the Pac-12 South. Oregon (10-1, 7-1) will play Oregon State in the annual Civil War rivalry game in Corvallis.
"As I told our guys, we don't get a trophy for this game," Stanford coach David Shaw said. "All we did was put ourselves in a good position and no we have to go play a really good UCLA team next week."
If Stanford beats UCLA, the Cardinal and Bruins will play a week later in Northern California for the Pac-12 title. If UCLA wins and Oregon beats Oregon State, the Ducks will host UCLA on Nov. 30.
The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak for the Ducks, which was the longest in the nation coming into Saturday.
Oregon's loss, coupled with No. 2 Kansas State's 52-24 loss to Baylor, means third-ranked Notre Dame is now the lone unbeaten team in the race for the BCS title game. Kansas State and Oregon were the 1-2 teams in the BCS standings.
The Fighting Irish control their national championship run, with No. 4 Alabama and a couple of other Southeastern Conference teams also in the thick of it.
Oregon was the only Pac-12 team that Stanford hadn't defeated over the past two seasons.
Last year, Stanford was ranked No. 3 and looking toward its own national championship bid with quarterback Andrew Luck when then-No. 6 Oregon visited Palo Alto and emerged with a 53-30 victory. Running back LaMichael James, who would join Luck's NFL draft class in the spring, ran for 146 yards and three touchdowns.
The year before, Oregon defeated the Cardinal and Luck 52-31 in an early October hurdle en route to an undefeated regular season and an appearance in the BCS title game against Auburn.
"They beat us last year when we were knocking on the door. So it feels kind of good to get that feeling back," Stanford tight end Zach Ertz said.
In both seasons, Oregon went on to win the conference titles. The Ducks have won three straight Pac-12 championships.
"It hurts, it really does, but the guys in the locker room have done a good job of helping me keep my head up," Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota said. "It's not an easy one to swallow but there's another game on the horizon."
Redshirt freshman Kevin Hogan threw for 211 yards and a game-tying fourth-quarter touchdown for Stanford, while Stepfan Taylor rushed for 161 yards on 33 carries.
Down 14-7, Stanford went for it on fourth-and-1 on the Oregon 12 with 2:17 left in regulation and Ryan Hewitt ran two yards for the first down. Hogan hit Ertz with a 10-yard scoring pass to tie it at 14 with 1:35 to go. Ertz fought to gain control of the ball with a defender as he fell to the turf on top of a Ducks player. The play was initially ruled incomplete, but a video review overturned it for the game-tying touchdown.
"I knew I caught it, I just wasn't sure if I was inbounds or not. The ball bounced my way. It was a great play call by the coaches," Ertz said.
Despite a pass interference call that gave them a crucial first down, the Ducks were forced to punt on the ensuing series and Stanford took over with 36 seconds to go and the game went to overtime. Alejandro Maldonado missed a 41-yard field goal for the Ducks to open the extra period before Williamson's game winner.
The Cardinal had the nation's best run defense going into the game, allowing an average of just 54.8 yards a game. Oregon, meanwhile, had the country's third-best rushing offense, averaging 325 yards a game.
Stanford held Ducks running back Kenjon Barner, who was averaging 136 yards rushing a game, to just 66 yards. Overall, the Ducks managed only 198 yards on the ground.
Oregon's top rusher was Mariota, who ran for 89 yards. The redshirt freshman who had been getting Heisman buzz, threw for 207 yards and a touchdown.
Stanford stuffed what appeared to be a sure first-quarter Oregon touchdown drive when Mariota took off on a 77-yard keeper to the Stanford 15. But the Ducks couldn't get much closer, and Stanford got the stop when Oregon went for it on fourth-and-2 on the Cardinal 7.
Stanford scored first on Hogan's 1-yard plow into the end zone early in the second quarter, but Oregon answered with Mariota's 28-yard touchdown pass to Keanon Lowe to tie it at 7-all.
Oregon extended its lead to 14-7 on De'Anthony Thomas' 6-yard scoring run in the third quarter, but missed a chance when Maldonado's 42-yard field goal attempt went wide right.
Williamson missed a 43-yard field goal attempt for Stanford early in the fourth quarter.
The Ducks went into the game hurting on defense after a 59-17 victory over California last weekend.
Oregon was without free safety Avery Patterson seriously injured his left knee in the second quarter and is believed to be out for the rest of the season. Patterson had taken over as starter for senior John Boyett, whose career at Oregon ended earlier this season when he needed surgery on both knees. Starting nose guard Wade Keliikipi did not play.
Because the Ducks do not disclose injuries, there was also uncertainty about the secondary, leading to speculation that the team might use Lowe or even multi-purpose sophomore back Thomas on defense. But they did not.
"One thing we take pride in is we don't make excuses," Kelly said. "The No. 1 stuff and the injury stuff everybody else has to deal with, so we don't make excuses. Stanford played better than us tonight and they won the football game."
Stanford stopped what appeared to be a sure first-quarter Oregon touchdown drive when Mariota took off on a 77-yard keeper to the Stanford 15. But the Ducks couldn't get much closer, and Stanford got the stop when Oregon went for it on fourth-and-2 on the Cardinal 7.
Stanford scored first on Hogan's 1-yard plow into the end zone early in the second quarter.
Oregon tried again on fourth-and-4 midway through the quarter, but was unsuccessful, this time when Mariota's pass to tight end Colt Lyerla fell incomplete.
When Oregon took over on downs from Stanford on the next series, the Ducks marched 59 yards in three plays — capped by Mariota's 28-yard touchdown pass to Keanon Lowe — to tie it at 7-all.
Oregon extended its lead to 14-7 on De-Anthony Thomas' 6-yard scoring run in the third quarter, but missed a chance when Maldonado's 42-yard field goal attempt went wide right.
Williamson missed a 43-yard field goal attempt for Stanford early in the fourth quarter.

This is remix I made by converting a midi of the Metal Gear Solid Skateboard theme from the Skateboard Mode of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance with GXSCC's SCC & OPLL functions and combining the two resulting faux "8Bit" Tracks in Sony Vegas. I used LucidFaia of Youtube's INCREDIBLE Complete Run Substance's Skateboard Mode for the video portion. Check out the original vid here: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzh7vEaazBM[/url] If anyone has any requests I'll be happy to take them. Can't guarantee anything though as I have to be able to find the midi to make it with...

One Man's Story: Buying a House in the D
Unbelievable tale over at Crain's Detroit Business. It's by one of Crain's writers and bloggers, Jay Greene. It tells the exhaustive story of how he is trying to buy a 100-year-old house in Detroit -- and all the red tape, crime and problems holding up his purchase. His girlfriend, Kathy Prager, also adds her side of the story -- and she is equally boggled by the issues surrounding what should be one of the happiest purchases of their lives.
I know people endlessly chant "Move to Detroit!" in hopes of getting the city back on its feet. But when you read stories like this, it makes you wonder why anyone would settle for and in Detroit. Shocking to say the least.
A highlight:
A 203K loan was necessary (on a $80,000 house) because the previous homeowners had taken the furnace and central air conditioning unit with them, not to mention some trees and bushes from the front yard. Among other repairs, which totaled $23,000, the house also needs new slate roof shingles, additional attic insulation and stone and brick work on the porches and exterior walls. Then came late July and the vandals. The house was broken into and more than $600 worth of copper pipe stolen. A small entry door and inside kitchen wall was damaged where the thieves had gained entrance. Was there concern expressed by (the realty company) or Fannie Mae? No. Fannie Mae never secured the house properly, a frustrating point of concern of mine that never registered in the seller's collective conscious.
