Thanks to all those folks who posted to my replies six years ago.
I used to be so proud of my wife and our relationship! I respected her so much! we got married at 20 years old and it was the coolest thing in the world for me when we were asked how long we've been married!?!? we both grew up with the same friends and everybody always commented how perfect we were together. now that same question has turned from such pride to the worst trigger!!! worst thing about it is outside i am happy and smiles...inside i wonder if i can ever look at her the way i used to be able to???
It was almost as if I typed this myself. I have faith that the specialness of our marriage and relationship will return someday.
I'm about 4 years and 4 months from DDay. Since that time I have not gained back any significant level of respect for her as a person, and particularly little as a spouse. Oddly, this doesn't seem to have any impact on her at all. She's cheerful at times, seems very pleasant even, and contented. She complains about work, wants to plan vacations, tells a funny story or even asked my opinions on politics or sports.
It's a horrible relationship. It's like we are pretending everything is cool, yet we are at opposite ends of the house. I'm jealous of those men who say, and mean, that they are proud of their wife or who celebrate their success in life and attribute it to the love and support of their good woman. I can't do that, ever, again. And that frustrates me because I only agreed to R when my wife begged and pleaded for me to give her the chance to prove her love and commitment. I have, and she didn't.
I had such a wonderful feeling about my WW, our life together, myself, etc. So much confidence, respect, adoration, feelings of trulybeing madly in love with the mother of my three sons. Now? Nothingness. The only true feeling is pain and the burning desire to D her once and for all and leave her with herself.
I am holding on out the fear of being a part time father and losing half my money and my home and living like a college kid in some shitty apartment at 40 years old.
Is she acting better? Absolutely now that she hasn't drank in 5 months and is on a cocktail of bipolar medications, but it just doesn't fucking matter anymore. She destroyed everything I had for her. Everything.
A full blown EA and PA 3 years ago followed by a FR, than a ONS blowjob with a stranger in a bar parking lot, and years of sending explict photos of herself to ex boyfriends through her phone everytime she drank and i wasn't present.
I find her pathetic. I find her repulsive at times. At first I kept fucking her (that is all it has been since DDay) to meet my male needs, but now I don't even want to do that.
I could care less about her brokeness, her mental illness, her Daddy issues or need for male attention to feel validated. I could care the fuck less. After 8 years and nothing but pure agony, my love dies more and more everyday I think about all she's done, and I regret allowing her the chance to prove anything to me after she was caught yet again and then diagnosed as BP2, ADHS and alcoholic. Not my problem. She destoyed my soul, my faith, my love, my respect, my self esteem, our family, everything..for "vali-fucking-dation". Go suck another stranger's dick and swallow for him you twat and lemme know how validating it is for you to feel like the fucking whore you love to be.
Meds to be "normal"? Gimme a break. Meds are preventing you from being what you really are; a lying, cheating, worthless, lost, broken piece of cheating shit.
How's that for regaining trust and respect?
She has given minimal acknowledgement that what she did was wrong (Year long emotional and physical affair with a friends neighbor). She has given occasional hints of some possibility of reconciliation but I want nothing to do with her. She has become broken, dysfunctional, corrupt, and quite comfortable with total dishonesty. She has become a toxic entity surrounded by her equally toxic and corrupt "friends" from which she gets validation for all her shitty decisions and behavior. Their collective mantra is being irresponsible, uncommitted, and full of excuses.
But, she is the mother of my two children and therefore I am forced to have a relationship with her in that sense. As I stated, I will be civil and tolerant but there will never be any respect. There can never be respect for someone who was doing a wrong to someone that they were fully aware they would never, ever, want done to themself. She created lies and deceptions that relied on the unquestioned trust I had in her and played on the hopes of mine and our children of ever having a happy, unified family. She knowingly and willfully killed that for the empty bullshitting of a POS that preys on damaged women and has not one bit of obligation towards her or her two children. Respecting her would mean, to a degree, compromising my values with her and I simply will not do that. She has demonstrated clearly what her values are - and they are the values of an immoral lying shitbag. She clings to denial, defensiveness, and deluding herself. She lives a lie and at some point it will begin to affect her relationship with our two children.
I believe in, and have lived an authentic life and that means living honestly and true to my myself, my values, and my word. I will continue to do so and that means respecting what earns and deserves respect. Nothing else.

Never felt she was a whore (being paid for sex act)...although there was activity at work during work hours so technically??...
But certainly struggled with feelings that she was a slut...behaved like one...and got treated like one...
14 mths out... incremental gains daily...but dunno how long until that battery is fully recharged....
My wife only had two sexual encounters with her AP. First was sex, that for all intents and purposes could be constituted as sexual assault. And regardless, even if it was a full blown "take me now" fuckfest I could somehow deal with that.
It's her paying money to take a cab to meet him early one morning for the express purpose of giving him a blow job in the back of his van that fucking kills me. It's what destroyed absolutely all of my respect for her. And why do it? "Because I wanted him to like me and didn't want to upset him". It would be one thing if she actually wanted to, but she didn't. That just makes it worse. Especially knowing after, and believing, the guy meant nothing to her and was no one special.
You've only ever been with me, yet seemingly have no problem doing that for him in the back of his van (where his kids sit, come on!) on your knees like a common slut? Just to make some 20 year older guy who is using you and you barely know like you, at the expense of your life, family and own dignity? You degrade yourself and throw everything away to make a guy you barely see like you? Hard to find any respect for that.
I'm proud of how far she's come, but I don't know if I ever can get passed that mentally enough to respect her again. At least like I did. I even acknowledge she was fucked in the head, not thinking clearly and was pretty much having a mental breakdown. Yet still, the moment the thought comes to mind I'm disgusted by it no matter how much I lay out the facts. Its easy enough to be logical and think one thing, a lot more difficult to feel that way. Time will tell. I want to at least, just not sure if I can.
Surrender to the truth of life.
I'm still in the early stages, but I really connect with 2cooldaughters statement of:
I'm jealous of those men who say, and mean, that they are proud of their wife or who celebrate their success in life and attribute it to the love and support of their good woman.
I haven't been able to say that about my WW for many years and even though she's trying now, I can't see how I'll ever accept it or re-learn how to respect her. It sucks so bad to remember there was a time long ago where it felt so damn good to be proud of her.
I am proud she quit drinking. No more driving drunk w/my kids. Woo-hoo!
I often tell my WW that she ruined 3 speeches I have yet to give but have always planned and thought of: 1. My daughter and son's wedding speech
2. My retirement speech
3. The speech I wanted read at my funeral.
My STBXW = Hampton Inn Whore.
Her new name.
..just read the last 2 pages.. i'm 3.5 years out from D-Day#2, or is it 3???
..brought up a lot of past emotions
..i can respect her for many things, but 'telling the truth' ain't one of them!
..40 years, i lived in a total lie, about her and my bfOM.. my whole adult life has been a mirage.
..'friend' and 'respect' are 2 words i don't use much lately.
..they both gave me ZERO respect for nearly 20 years..
..i know she would like mine now!
..we're still working on it.
so, didn't she know she was throwing all of hers away each and every time she put his cock in her mouth???
..what the fuck was she thinkin' ????
I am happy though not because of my marriage more like inspite of it.
I saved the kids a boatload of misery staying and being subjected to a borderline woman in my wife.
respect ... gone. She does not respect me enough and never did anything to earn me back.
I hate to say it but at this point my respect is so low for wife I simply view her as an egg donor for my children and nothing more.
They are turning 13 and 16 in the next weeks, and I'm so proud. A lot has changed in their lives since 2008. Celebrated soccer and volleyball athletes, youngest just inducted into the Junior Beta Club, oldest competing for top class academic honors and soon getting her first car. They are delightful and lovely young women now. So I'm glad I stayed around to see them every day and every night. They wouldn't be where they are without me in their lives, and I know that.
As far as their mother and I are concerned, there's just not much to say. She says she isn't happy with the way things are, wants us to be close, wants to be normal, and wants to forget what she did. She wants me to forget it ever happened, and love her like I used to.
I can't respect that.
I don't know. When I think about her giving a BJ to her AP in his truck, it absolutely disgusts me. Sometimes, she still feels special to me. Other times, not so much.
What he said ^^^
Two months out I'm disappointed at my WW's lack of judgment. We had a good life. She says so and is trying to stay.
If you have a good thing -- a person that you treasure -- why risk losing it over something do dumb?
Why inflict years -- maybe a lifetime of pain on someone who's so devoted to you.
I, too, hope I'll stop thinking about those things and be able to one day look at her and feel proud again.
I did the other day, it lasted a split second. I think there's hope.
After only two months, I look at her with disappointment. So much disappointment. More than any other feeling.

The Govardhan Shila given to Srila Raghunath dasa Goswami by Lord Chaitanya
Here's the best photo I could take with a 300mm lens (Pujarji wouldn't let me get closer) of Narayana (high asana) and Varahadeva (low asana) from the Sri Caitanya Sarasvat Math in Nabadwip. Varahadeva is a principle deity there and is very unique. He must be fed sweet-rice every single day or he creates all kinds of disturbances. He was donated to Srila Sridhara Maharaja by one family who couldn't handle His transcendental anger. They gave Him saying, "We think that only you are fit to worship Him."

These deities and silas are from Brahmanda Ghat in Vrindabana, where Krishna showed Mother Yasoda His universal form.

Week-Ending Game Endings - 10.30.09 - Ratchet & Clank
While there were quite a few releases this week, the truth is, a lot of them don't really stand out to me, particularly for this feature. DDR? Does that even have a proper ending? NERF, Spongebob, DJ Hero, Madagascar Kartz... all passable. Then we have Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony, which has possibilities, and likewise with Tekken. But I figured with the release of Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, the choice was obvious. So let's go back to the end of the beginning... Ah, what a warm-hearted ending, with Clank giving Ratchet a hand (or rather, an arm), and vice-versa. And then they lived happily ever after... until the next game... and the game after that. And will they live happily after A Crack in Time? Only one way to find out (two if you check YouTube, I'm sure)! Have a good weekend, everyone. Read More

For those of you who know anything about her, you'll understand why me just riding her bareback with a halter and not having a run-away is a big-deal.
Anywho, she looks actually comfortable trotting, which is a breakthrough. Her backing up with the halter needs help, and just pulling on it doesn't help, so that;s why I wiggle it.
Just bragging.

I was raised practicing Judaism minimally, but always had a fascination with it. I have always hoped one day to meet a Jewish man and fully convert to the religion.
I'm a fairly energetic person, I love to be silly and to make people laugh. When I grow up I want to be successful, and proud. I don't know what I want to do with my life, the great thing about it is how many years of life are left to change my mind. I'm content with where I am but am excited for whats ahead.
I love music of all types, I guess my preference if for folk/pop/alternative . I love old movies, and comedies.
I'm a very understanding and accepting person, which has been a negative and positive experience for me. I'm hoping to find someone who also is open and accepting, who loves to live and meet new people, and can't wait for the next journey life leads them in.

Vegetable Stock
Joshua Trent
Recipe type: Soups
Vegetable stock is great to have in the freezer especially if you have vegetarian friends or friends on a diet restriction. It's also a great way to use aging vegetables from the crisper that would be otherwise tossed.
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 2 parsnips, coarsely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
- 1½ lbs Swiss chard, chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 6 sprigs fresh parsley
- 1 dried bay leaf
- In a medium stockpot over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil.
- Add onion, and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 8 minutes.
- Add carrots, parsnips, and celery; cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add Swiss chard to the vegetable mixture.
- Then add 3 quarts plus 2 cups cold water, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer about 1 hour; liquid should be highly flavored.
- Remove from heat, and strain stock through a colander set inside a large bowl, pressing on vegetables to extract juices.
- Discard vegetables. Stock can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

DS 7.1 image created is saved to invaild path in Disk Images folder
After creating a "Create Image" job and running the job on a workstation the result is a .gho file. The file is saved as a package in the Settings -> Deployment and Migration -> Disk Images folder. The problem is the package location for the image created is saved with an invalid Package Location. For some reason the path has to many slashes in the path after the server name.
Example \\NS Server\\deployment\task handler\image\2f77868e-de0a-478e-ae87-8cdc33f5f241. Currently after creating an aimage, we have to manually fix the Package Location path by removing the extra "\" after the server name.
Does anyone know why the path keeps adding an extra "\" after the NS server name?
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
what version do you use? I guess current release?
I just forgot, but had a fresh installation of 7.1 sp2 mp1 two weeks ago and had the same issue. I don't really often capture images but was exact the same problem. I didn't give a thing on this, because only one image was needed (hw-independent) and was in hurry.
So far, I can confirm this "bug", but have no other solution as you already mentioned. Next step would be a support request.
Maybe I find some time to have a look in the ghost-process.
Thanks for your quick response.
At the moment I am getting the error 'Unable to save the Package item. Reason: Invalid Package location' when I am trying to remove the extra /.
Interestingly, even before the change, its telling me the current in use location is invalid.
I have a support call open and will let them know our findings.
Thanks again for your help.

Johnny saw daffodils and tulips, and then he noticed to type of plant that he had never seen before. It had something on it that was round, bumpy, and brownish-red. It actually looked just like to meatball! Johnny bent down to smell it, and it smelled just like to meatball. But, meatballs don't grow on plants. How could this be?

7 Penn State 1, 3 Wisconsin 02011 Big Ten Tournament - Second RoundU-M Soccer Stadium Ann Arbor, Mich.
Final Stats | Final Stats
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--For the second time in less than a week, it came down to one goal as the Wisconsin men's soccer team fell to Penn State, 1-0, in semifinal action at the Big Ten Tournament.
With the loss, the Badgers fall to 10-8-2, while Penn State (9-8-4) continues its improbable run through tournament play.
The Nittany Lions netted the game's only goal at the 28:54 mark when Minh Vu and Owen Griffith exchanged passes on the right side of the field before Vu's shot beat UW goalie Max Jentsch.
Penn State continued to pressure the Badgers, but UW's defense held strong. The Nittany Lions finished the game with 21 shots to the Badgers' five. Wisconsin failed to put a shot on goal, while six PSU shots found the frame.
Jentsch allowed one goal, while recording five saves in 90 minutes of action. Penn State's Andrew Wolverton netted his 12th shutout of the season and ninth win.
The Badgers' post-season fate will be determined on Monday evening, when the 48-team NCAA tournament field is announced.
The winner of the Big Ten Tournament earns an automatic bid, while the Badgers hope for a coveted at-large invitation.

Cadets saw three plays, Stones in His Pockets, This Is Our Youth, with Chris Klein and Freddie Prinz, Jr., and Love's Labour's Lost, with Joseph Fiennes, at the National Theatre. In London, the entire group spent the first day on a scavenger hunt for the places they would be touring later in the trip and for various, typical London sights (including a London loo). During the remainder of the week, they toured the Globe Theatre, the British Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Imperial War Museum, Westminster Abbey, and the Tower of London and saw the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. Individuals and smaller groups also toured St. Paul's Cathedral, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tower Bridge and various other museums and landmarks.
As in the previous year, the group also took a day-trip to Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick Castle.

Nuance Salma Hayek Hydrating Balm Rose Petal
Nuance Salma Hayek Hydrating Balm Rose Petal Reviews
Best lip balm ever!I absolutely love this product! I was pleasantly surprised because I usually end up disappointed with drugstore purchases. Not this time! This goes on light and doesn't feel tacky or heavy at all. It moisturizes and doesn't leave a yucky residue like some balms. I did have a problem trying to get the darn thing opened though. Looking forward to trying more of her products! You rock Salma! — 3 years, 2 months agogreekgoddess71 | 4 reviews

Horrible productAfter reading all the great reviews for this balm, of course I wanted to try it. So I bought it and I am hating this lip balm! It is not hydrating and it darkens my lips!! The color is a more peachy shade than red from the photograph. If this came in a better shade, which was similar to the photograph, maybe it's a little bit tolerable. I don't like that I have to use my finger to apply it on, it ...read moremakes it messy somehow. I don't think I'll buy this ever again and I do not recommend this for anyone. For anyone who made a great review, I am unsure as to why they managed to do that. This is a horrible product! — 3 years, 6 months agojacki_oquias_o | 10 reviews

Amazing balmThis stuff is simply the best balm I have ever used, and it's multifunctional! It has a soft rose scent, not too light not too heavy. And goes on smooth on your lips. And it moisturizes all day. It doesn't have much of a taste which us fine, it doesn't taste bad or anything. Not to mention it helps the dry patches on my knees. The lid is the only problem I have with it. It's hard to close you have to use some force. But other than that this makes a great lip balm and dry patch treatment. — 3 years, 7 months agolomgike | 3 reviews

Time will tell which catcher will see the most playing time as all have an important quality to offer. It will come down to who can handle the staff at the time being and who can drive runs in. David has gotten a lot better over the years and he is a thrill to have around."

migrating partitions from an Object based storage device to block based storage
Hi Guys
i'm familiar with the process of moving partitons and updating SQL when moving from one location to another i.e. c:\stores to v:\stores etc
however has anyone got any experience in moving EV archives from an object based storage system to regular presented LUNs ?
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Thanks for the reply,
this is going to be for all user and file archives so im hoping that there isnt a massive amount of manual work involved.
last time i did a move archive i remember that it didnt remove the original archive meaning that the user would have access to both archives
is this the case with the 'move archive' and if so is there a clean way to remove the old archive
the third party tool/service helps alleviate the manual work and the risk associated with that too. without it, yes there's a massive amount to do. of course, it's all relative to how many archives and how much data you have.

Millie Lange: Not Just a Radio Star; She's a Collector
Published on August 9 2012 4:00 pm
Last Updated on July 14 2013 12:07 pm
Written by Greg Sapp
Congratulations are due our own Millie Lange.
Millie won second place honors at the Illinois State Fair Antique Contest, in the category called "Small World's Fair Collection Prior to 1945". She entered an inkwell given her by her late father, Henry, from the 1901 World's Fair. The Fair was held in Buffalo, New York, and was the scene of the assassination of President William McKinley. The inkwell is shaped like a crab.
Scott Beal of Mason finished third in the antique contest with items from the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago, but took first place honors for Most Unusual Antique at the event. Beal won for a "radium vitalizer", a vaseline glass water cooler that mixed radium with with drinking water before Science determined that was not a good idea.
Also claiming numerous awards was Altamont's Kurt Becker. Becker won a first in the Illinois State Fair souvenir before 1950, took second in the Pressed Glass, Religious Books prior to 1940 and Carnival Glass and third in the Cut Glass, Milk Glass and Water Sets (pitcher and two tumblers).
Kim Tarrant, also of Altamont, took second in the Cut Glass and in the Toothpick Holders and third in Vinegar Cruets.

Fig and Speck Pizza
My mother grew up in an Italian-American family in Brooklyn. Gran Fran, my mother, has for all sorts of recipes, both old and new. Her favorites were passed down from her Nonna (the typical Italian grandma) and her mother. In turn, over the years, she has passed along her considerable collection of recipes and food facts to all of her children and now her grandchildren.
Recently, I asked Gran Fran about the difference between speck and pancetta. She told me speck is more like a black forest ham, cured, whereas pancetta is raw and needs to be cooked. She then shared this Fig and Speck Pizza recipe with me.
There are a lot of ingredients here, but it's a simple process to put the whole thing together. I bought pizza dough since I've never had much luck with making my own. The fun part comes when you spread everything out and grate that final sprinkling of parmesan over the top.
Have fun with this and enjoy your Fall!

Finalist: Play With Your Food, instructables.com
This is my entry from the instructables.com contest: Play With Your Food.
I was a finalist, alas, did not win, but did have plenty of fun working on this project. Hope you do, too.
Edible gems.
We've been talking a lot around here about fun things we could cook that would be a little different. And, as we got further into the conversation what with the Holidays coming, the timing couldn't have been better, we realized that some of our ideas would make great party favors or small gifts.
My nephew asked if I knew how to make rock candy. That's when my sister yelled out "candy jewelry!" She hit upon something classic. The idea of trying to update this kids classic was daunting, but I think I rose to the challenge quite nicely.
It has been over 17 years since I last tried my hand at hard candies. Making them now, I'm reminded of my tiny kitchen in my first non-roommate apartment with no counter and only a small foldout table. There was a point during that early attempt, where I had the trays laid out on our 7 foot mustard yellow thrift store couch. In hindsight, this could have been a huge sugary disaster, but hey, I was young, you did whatever you had to do to get by.
Speaking of which, I'm realizing now, that I'm heading back to that devil-may-care attitude these days. I'm so enamored with posting everything that I make right now, that I'm pushing myself to find the time and creativity to make something new and better each time.
Hard Candy Recipe
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup light Corn Syrup¼ cup Water
- ¾ tsp extract of choice (I used lemon)
- Food coloring
Special Equipment:
- Parchment paper
- Non-stick Cooking Spray
- Lollipop and Hard Candy Molds
- Quilter's Pins
- Disposable Sheet Pans
- Candy Thermometer
- Colorful Thread for stringing
- Lay down parchment paper on your work surface, it will make clean up so much easier.
- Put pins in the molds and attach the molds to the sheet pans.Spray the molds with the non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan.Place the pan over medium-heat and insert the candy thermometer.
- Do not stir.Heat the mixture to 295 degrees and remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in extract and food coloring at this point.Fill the candy molds with the mixture. I used metal spoons, but if you can create some kind of piping method, that would be great.
- Allow the hard candies to cool completely.Carefully remove the candies from the molds.
- Immediately thread a needle and string the candies as a pendant.
- Package individually in waxed paper or small glassine envelopes

File Nos. 0004599317, 000599286,

Petition for Reconsideration of Pending
Termination of Licenses for Stations WQKD295,
WQKF468, WQKF470, and WQKF471
Adopted: March 17, 2011
Released: March 18, 2011By the Deputy Chief, Broadband Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
In this Order on Reconsideration, we dismiss as untimely four petitions for
reconsideration of our placement into termination pending status of four industrial/business pool
microwave stations in Texas.
On May 13, 2009, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (the Bureau) modified the
license held by AirCanopy Internet Services (AirCanopy) for industrial/business pool microwave Station
WQKD295 to add a path at Cedar Hill, Texas on frequency 21875 MHz.1 The deadline for constructing
the modification to Station WQKD295 was November 13, 2010.2 On August 17, 2010, the Bureau sent a
construction/coverage reminder letter to AirCanopy.3 On December 22, 2010, a license auto-termination
letter was sent4 and Path 2 of Station WQKD295 entered termination pending status.5 Accordingly, on

4 Auto Termination letters, Ref. No. 5074041 (Dec. 22, 2010).
5 When a licensee fails to file a notification that it has completed construction by an applicable buildout deadline, the
license, location, or frequency is placed in "termination pending" status. For a license, location, or frequency in that
status, the Bureau presumes that the licensee did not meet buildout requirement. If the licensee does not file a
petition for reconsideration within 30 days after public notice of the termination pending status demonstrating that it
met that buildout requirement, the status of the license, location, or frequency is changed to "terminated" as of the
buildout deadline. See Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Announces Deployment Of "Auto-Term," the

Federal Communications Commission
DA 11-519the same day, the Bureau provided public notice of the pending license termination.6 On February 2,
2011, AirCanopy filed a petition for reconsideration of the license termination.7
On April 28, 2009, the Bureau issued AirCanopy new licenses for industrial/business
pool microwave Stations WQKF468, WQKF470, and WQKF471 (the Stations).8 The deadline for
constructing the Stations was October 28, 2010.9 On July 27, 2010, the Bureau sent
construction/coverage reminder letters to AirCanopy.10 On December 1, 2010, license auto-termination
letters were sent11 and the Stations entered termination pending status. Accordingly, on the same day, the
Bureau provided public notice of the pending license terminations.12 On January 31, 2011, AirCanopy
filed three separate petitions for reconsideration of the license terminations.13
Section 405(a) of the Communications Act, as implemented by Section 1.106(f) of the
Commission's Rules, requires that a petition for reconsideration be filed within thirty days from the date
of public notice of Commission action.14 Computation of the thirty-day period is determined in
accordance with Section 1.4 of the Commission's Rules.15 Since public notice of the impending license
terminations were given on December 1, 2010 and December 22, 2010, pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(4) of
the Commission's Rules, the first day to be counted in computing the thirty-day period was December 2,
2010 and December 23, 2010, respectively. The last day for filing petitions for reconsideration were
December 31, 2010 and January 21, 2011, respectively.
We received AirCanopy's Petitions on January 31, 2011 and February 2, 2011.
Therefore, we find that the Petitions were filed late. The United States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit has consistently held that the Commission is without authority to extend or waive the
statutory thirty-day filing period for filing petitions for reconsideration specified in Section 405(a) of the
Communications Act,16 except where "extraordinary circumstances indicate that justice would thus be
served."17 We note the filing requirement of Section 405(a) of the Act applies even if the petition for
reconsideration is filed only one day late.18 We do not believe that AirCanopy has shown such

only apply to the specific paths referred to in the auto-termination letters. We also note that on February 3, 2011, we
granted other timely-filed petitions for reconsideration filed by AirCanopy.

Peter Minnium
As the Head of Brand Initiatives at IAB, Peter Minnium leads a series of initiatives designed to address the under-representation of creative brand advertising online. He can be reached on Twitter @PeterMinnium.
- For now, think of Advanced TV as supplemental to the standard broadcast plan. The current scale and capabilities of Advanced TV advertising opportunities are a great supplement to, but not yet a replacement for, your traditional TV buy.
- Take advantage of precision targeting, but don't get too excited about this capability and take it too far. While there is great audience targeting and re-aggregation possible, scale audiences at this time can't get too specific - e.g. club-footed home-office radiologists in Michigan - or you will lose the ability actually to impact your brand.
- The currency of the space is largely impressions-based, for now. But watch this space, so to speak, for evolution in that area. And channel any feedback you have to the IAB regarding currency and measurement needs, as many of these standards and best practices are being worked out at this time.
- Multiple modes of distribution mean multiple channel contacts are necessary for planning and buying. It's still worth it, but be prepared to manage this process.
- Agencies should be prepared to allocate additional resources to address the technical needs of Advanced TV and have specific workflow in place.

- Programmatic is more than RTB. There is a lot of confusion over the term programmatic, which many people mistakenly believe is only real-time bidding (RTB) or used only for remnant inventory. Ultimately programmatic is the process of buying and selling media in an automated fashion. This includes four main types of transactions - open auctions, invitation-only/private auctions, unreserved fixed rate/preferred deals, and automated guaranteed/programmatic guaranteed deals. Every time someone says the word "programmatic" make sure you ask what exactly they mean. Watch this Digital Simplified video that explains how one part of programmatic, RTB, works step by step.
- Lots of challenges still exist to enable programmatic to work. Concerns that were addressed throughout the event included transparency, fraud, and trust; limited understanding and knowledge; confusion over terminology; moving from direct response to branding dollars, moving from mostly standard banners to native, video, rising stars, and audio ad formats; internal organizational challenges for brands and publishers; and delivering different creative through programmatic.
- Programmatic is big and getting bigger. The programmatic market (including auction, and direct deals) is expected to top $10B in 2014 and grow to $20B by 2016. For now, RTB remains the dominant part of programmatic spending (92% in 2014), but is expected to fall to under 60% of total programmatic spend by 2016 as programmatic direct increases. Within RTB, open auctions account for 88% of total RTB spend, though this is changing with private marketplaces growing significantly faster. While display is still dominant for now, mobile and video programmatic are growing fast.
- Fraud and trust are big issues, but are being tackled by the industry. Bots and fraud have become a big issue mainly due to the large sums of money involved. The IAB and the industry are building a trust stack to tackle fraud, malware, piracy, and transparency and include these in a joint cross-industry accountability program) building on the existing Quality Assurance Guidelines. Advertisers and buyers should make sure they know their supply sources, choose their vendors carefully, and always remember "If it's too good to be true, it probably is!" Publishers need to ensure they are coordinating between sales, marketing, operations, and analytics to identify any strange traffic patterns and remember if they are doing audience extension they need to apply the same controls as buyers should.
- Publishers can hit a home run with programmatic video. The concern that programmatic has been perceived as a "race to the bottom" for rates and yield has not been the case in video due to restricted supply. Publishers can use programmatic to fund the creation of quality video content particularly by helping to monetize traffic spikes. Ultimately efficiency doesn't have to mean lower CPMs; it can also mean more effective engagement.
- Measurement matters even more in a programmatic world. Brand marketers are looking for transparency, inventory quality, and technology simplicity. Buyers should ensure they are reaching the right audience, use a consistent, comparable metric to plan, buy, and sell audiences, use brand data to ensure advertising resonates, and ultimately ensure that the campaign drives the desired action.
- Attribution is essential to effective programmatic spend. Last touch attribution is outdated and is like giving all the credit in a relay race to the last runner. Attribution models should incorporate the "first site visit" separating the funnel into prospecting and retargeting, and set the right incentives to each part.
- Brands in automotive are leveraging programmatic. Leading brands are looking beyond the simple retargeting of ads and embracing programmatic across the consumer path to purchase from unaware to loyal purchasers. The agency automation "stack" includes four layers - unified data platform, open access to media inventory, single metrics regime, and dynamic ad creation/production/serving platform. Brands are finally learning from programmatic media to employ new tactics in automated creative—not creating by machines, but optimizing ad variables based on real-time, impression level data.
- Publishers need to re-org to capture the value of programmatic. Publishers are adopting programmatic as a core part of their monetization strategy. However, this can pose internal challenges. The top five ways to build a successful programmatic publisher organization were the following: align incentives and compensation; educate direct sellers and have them attend Programmatic 101 training; programmatic team to focus on supporting direct sales (agencies) and covering programmatic buying entities (DSPs, trading desks, retargeters); establish a programmatic rate card; and have internal and external quarterly budget reviews.
- Creativity and programmatic are not enemies. Every ad should be dynamic and leverage the same audience signals used in programmatic media buying to make the creative relevant. This can be done by infusing first or third-party data on demographics, location, and previous website behavior to alter the headline call to action, image, or assets of the ad unit to ensure the message resonates with the user. Doing this can double yield on interaction rates and increase engagement by 50%.

- Growing willingness among consumers to pay for virtual goods and accept mobile advertising
- Virtual goods
- Paid apps and downloads
- Advertising
- Ad format evolution taking place: From advertising that offers player rewards, value exchange video advertising, rich media creative, branded content and more native integration—ads on games are becoming less aggravating—and more frictionless.
- There is an overall increased acceptance of advertising among users when advertising is executed in a way that brings value to their experience, is contextually relevant, delivered in a format that is visually appealing or synergistic to their mobile experience. Benjani highlighted inMobi's focus on "working with studios and brands to create deeply integrated native ad experiences to connect advertisers to audiences globally."
- Emotional targeting that is additive to game play (creating value exchange between advertiser and user) tapping into players' emotions and serving ads in the right place at the right time with the right message is a win for both advertisers and consumers. This allows the brand to be a welcome "hero" for the player, taking part in the user experience and offering players rewards during moments of "achievement" or tips at points of "frustration."
- "In-game advertising is the only way brand marketers can reach and reward, encourage and rescue players in a way that adds value to the user experience. For example, during Breakthrough Moments™ (BTMs™), brands can reach game players during moments of "achievement," such as when they get a new high score or a longest jump. With this approach, people will reciprocate the brand's gift and take a post ad action—such as purchase a product or visit a website—and further engage with the brand, giving marketers a unique way to make lasting, meaningful connections with people," said Brandt.
- Increasing focus on brand metrics: As Lewis noted, CPM, CPC, CPA and CPV all have some traction in mobile games, but increasingly, better brand metrics, analytics and real-time decisioning are changing the way effectiveness is measured. "Keep in mind as to where your ads are running as not all impressions are equal. If your primary KPI is to deliver a positive brand experience and association, look at where the ad is running and ask if you were playing this game - would you feel interrupted by or helped by this advertisement? User experience is at the paramount of successfully advertising on mobile and simply porting over outdated ad units and placements from display advertising is not enough. These are personal experiences on mobile and the key is tailor advertising to match this new medium", said O'Connor.
- More options for developers and advertisers: From in-app to HTML5, more options are emerging for game developers and advertisers to foster "native" experiences. Grossberg added: "Brands are also beginning to leverage HTML5 to create their own mobile web games (the game is the advertising!) to engage their target audience at scale through this preferred activity on mobile, and do so in a cost effective manner in a way that fosters social and viral growth."

Since we launched the IAB Certification program nearly two years ago I've been Vice President, Training and Development. Now, at the IAB we don't go out of our way to be cute or creative when we use titles; they are meant to be accurate, expressive, and to-the-point. No Senseis or Shepherds here. As a result no one has ever not understood what my role is at the IAB.
Still, the longer that I've had this position, the more the title has seemed inappropriate to me. It's the word training that bothers me. Training is something that's done to people (or dogs!) Training sounds passive. It conjures up the image of a student held hostage in a classroom, passively absorbing information. Training is what managers send employees through.
But learning is completely different. Learning is active, not passive. We choose to learn. We all want to learn, all the time, to experience new things. Learning occurs in the classroom, but it also happens on the job, at home, anywhere and everywhere; with others or by oneself. Others might control my training, but I control my learning. Which one is more likely to stick with me?
That's why we created IAB University (IAB.U), an industry educational hub where everyone across the ecosystem, from every level, can come together to learn from each other. At IAB University you can be on the receiving end of digital advertising education or you can teach your peers. Plus, participants receive IAB Learning Credits good towards IAB Digital Media Sales or IAB Digital Ad Operations recertification programs, if they need them.
The IAB is flush with subject matter experts. Experts abound. Need to learn the latest on programmatic? Interested in how native advertising works? Unclear on what a viewable impression is? If there's something you need to know about digital advertising, our members have the answers. The IAB has always been a tremendous resource for thought leadership and cutting-edge expertise; that's truer today than ever as our industry continues its remarkable growth.
We realize more and more people come to the IAB to learn. We are attracting more junior level employees and people relatively new to the industry. Learning comes in all flavors— a webinar, a conference, a panel of experts, a town hall of newbies. Just about every program the IAB offers is a learning experience, and we hope you will take advantage of those learning experiences whether you are seeking recertification or just want to stay abreast of what's happening out there.
But here's our hope—that many of you will share your expertise or newly-found research with others in our community. Did your company just release a piece of research? Turn it into a webinar for IAB members. Are you an expert on some new trend? Put together a panel so that IAB members can discuss, at your place or ours. Let's figure out a way to make learning continuous and collaborative.
We're already beginning to put together a free program of learning opportunities. If you are interested in learning more about IAB University or want to be part of the IAB University "faculty" to let us know what you want to teach please start here iab.net/iabu.
And with that…

If you liked the G37, than you'll love the Q50. At least, that seems to be what Infiniti is hoping. Luckily for them, the next-generation G—er, the Q50—has a lot more going for it than just a name that comes later in the alphabet.
For starters, take a look at the lines. Infiniti's design team did an outstanding job of translating the looks of the overexposed-yet-still-lovely Essence concept car onto a production sedan while tying it into the rest of the Infiniti line. Hey, other designers shooting for a common theme with their model lineup, see how all of Infiniti's cars look unique, yet they're still obviously related? That's how a brand should look.
In spite of the name change, the G37's engine—the 3.7 liter 328 horsepower V6—sticks around for Q50 duty, in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive forms. There's also a new Q50 Hybrid model, which probably merges that same engine with an electric motor and a battery of some sort. Infiniti didn't offer details about the hybrid, and quite frankly, we don't really care about it. We're hoping Infiniti keeps a manual transmission around (at least on the coupe version, whenever that arrives), but we're not expecting it to return per se.
Since adding electronics that help the car almost drive itself is kind of the name of the game in luxury cars these days, the Infiniti Q50 recieves not one but two features that allocate a little more control of the car to our future silicon overlords: Active Lane Control™ and Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering™. Active Lane Control uses cameras to help keep the Q50 centered in its lane on the road (we're not sure how that differs from Infiniti's current lane-departure prevention systems, but we're hoping it's a little less intrusive), while Direct Adaptive Steering, according to Infiniti, "allows advanced control of the Q50′s tire angle and steering inputs, transmitting the driver's intentions to the wheels faster than a mechanical system." So…it's basically electric power steering, we guess. For what it's worth, the system offers four different settings, thus ensuring you'll never be quite satisfied with whichever one you pick.
Infiniti's always done a great job with interiors, and based on the pictures, it looks like the Q50 should maintain that streak nicely. The insides come with not one but two touchscreens, for twice the Apple-esque style and twice the amount of fingerprint residue. We are kind of sad to see the physical control buttons go, though; it was always nice that Infiniti gave you redundant touchscreen and physical controls, and just from a tactile sense, their buttons were so fun to push.
But the proof of this particular pudding will be in the driving, so we're looking forward to seeing how the Q50 holds up from behind the wheel. And as for the name, well, you can always buy a G37 badge on eBay. [via Infiniti]
Press Release:
2014 Infiniti Q50 Sedan Makes World Debut at North American International Auto Show
DETROIT- Infiniti today unveiled the all-new 2014 Infiniti Q50 luxury sports sedan at a press conference at the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). Infiniti Motor Company Ltd. President Johan de Nysschen and Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura presented the dramatically styled Q50, which goes on sale at Infiniti retailers in the United States and Canada in summer 2013.
"This morning we are about to launch Infiniti on a bold new journey, a new Infiniti brand direction built on a foundation of our past and guided by a clear vision for the future," said de Nysschen. "And it starts right here today with the new Infiniti Q50, a vehicle that clearly crystalizes the design, performance and technology direction for a new generation of Infiniti vehicles."
The 2014 Infiniti Q50 is the centerpiece of the Infiniti display at the NAIAS, which runs from Jan. 19th through the 27th at Detroit's Cobo Center. Also featured at the Infiniti exhibit is the complete line of 2013 Infiniti cars and SUVs, along with an Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One race car.
The all-new Infiniti Q50 takes many of its seductive styling cues from the Infiniti Essence concept, with a tight, athletic appearance that blends low, wide proportions with excellent interior roominess. Inside, the Q50 interior offers a driver-centric cockpit with an array of premium comfort and convenience features, including the new Infiniti InTouch™ communications system with large dual touch-screens.
"We challenged ourselves with this new Infiniti Q50 to take another great leap in terms of proportion, Infiniti-ness and premium quality. It presents a new benchmark of Infiniti's sedan leadership," said Nakamura.
The 2014 Infiniti Q50 will be available with a choice of a refined 328-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 or new Q50 Hybrid featuring Infiniti's Direct Response Hybrid System™ with Intelligent Dual Clutch Control. Both powertrains will be offered with rear-wheel drive or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
Two new world's first production performance technologies make their debuts in the Q50 – Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering™ technology and Active Lane Control™. The new steering system allows advanced control of the Q50's tire angle and steering inputs, transmitting the driver's intentions to the wheels faster than a mechanical system. Four different steering settings are offered, allowing customization by driver preference or road conditions. The Active Lane Control™ uses a camera-based lane marker detection system to further enhance on-center driving capability.
Infiniti recently reported a year-over-year U.S. sales increase of 21.8 percent for 2012, pointing to a strong sales forecast for the brand in 2013. Infiniti is currently sold in nearly 50 countries worldwide and is expanding its production base to three continents.
Said de Nysschen: "We are building a solid reputation for quality, customer care and cutting-edge technology. This new Infiniti Q50 is a hint of the fascinating products that will punctuate our future as we craft our brand and shape our destiny."

Enjoy a cold soft drink or two during the day? You are not alone. I too crave and can down a can in no time. More recently, though, my partner started to subtlety encourage me to dramatically decrease my consumption or to give it up altogether. My response?
"But it tastes so good!"
I know the drawbacks to the drink, but it has me hooked. A Diet Dr. Pepper in the morning instead of coffee. A few more during the day to keep me going. Pepsi rolled out the old school Throwback with real sugar last year and I continue to find it on the store shelves. Tough to ignore such a sweet taste.
I've gained a little weight, don't drink enough water and consume that terrible phenylalanine that might not do good things to my body. So what? I am awake and alert while typing this out. Diet Dr. Pepper by my side.
Well, Rodale's Emily Main wrote about nine nasty side effects of soda.
Drinking regular soda, or pop depending on your word of choice, causes weight gain. No shock there, but the areas of the fat build up should give you pause.
But I drink the diet stuff and just the occasional regular stuff (at least when I am being good). I should be fine. Nope.
Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center monitored 475 adults for 10 years, and found that those who drank diet soda had a 70 percent increase in waist circumference over the 10-year study, compared with those who didn't drink any soda. Those who drank more than two diet sodas per day saw a 500 percent waist expansion! A separate study the same researchers conducted on mice suggested that it was the aspartame, which raised blood glucose levels, that caused the weight gain; when your liver encounters too much glucose, the excess is converted to body fat.
Crap. I have the diet soda belly. While I don't believe I have seen a 500 percent waist expansion, it sure is something I am not proud of right now. Hmmm.
That carmel coloring in most soft drinks causes cancer in animals. In fact, a nonprofit asked the FDA to ban it because it contains 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole. Main notes that just 16 micrograms per day can be a cancer threat. Yet most of the popular soft drinks have 200 micrograms per 20 ounces.
Oh my. I certainly do not want to give myself cancer. Maybe I will be lucky and not get it. Moving on then.
Another study on the phosphates in soft drinks suggests they might accelerate the aging process. The rats in the study died five weeks earlier than rats with normal phosphate levels. Phosphoric acid, the fourth listed ingredient in the can sitting to my right, can potentially cause heart and kidney problems, muscle loss and possibly osteoporosis.
I have a young-looking face, especially when I shave my beard. A little worrisome but I should be good on that front.
The artificial sweeteners like saccharin do not break down when they go through our bodies. Evidently these then end up in water systems because treatment plants do not catch them either. This leaves them to mess around with the natural feeding habits of the food chain. Now we are getting into the environmental impacts. Dang. I already feel guilty about the aluminum cans themselves.
If you like the more citrus-based drinks, then this next one might freak you out. Brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, can cause memory loss and possibly nerve disorders. Industries use this as a flame retardant in plastics while Pepsi puts it in Mountain Dew so the flavoring does not separate from the drink. Wow. Not to be out done, though, the chemical can also cause infertility.
Parents of young children should be familiar with bisphenol A (BPA). They chemical made headline news because manufacturers used it to line plastic baby bottles even though it can leach into the liquid and cause long-term problems. Those include hormone levels, infertility and obesity. While most baby bottles no longer contain BPA, the aluminum cans filled with the soft drink of your choice sure do.
Now I am getting a little hesitant. Maybe I should switch to buying two liter bottles.
Nope. Emily takes that one away from me too by highlighting another devastating environmental impact through the photographic works of Chris Jordan. Go head and take a look. They speak for themselves.
Last but not least, the corn-based ingredients like high fructose corn syrup probably come from genetically modified corn. We have no real idea what GMOs do to our long-term health. Scary.
Now it's time to put the can down and read 22 more reasons why I should quit drinking this stuff.

These drinks are very harmful one. They are slow Poisson. They can cause many health Problems like Liver Cancer.
These soft drinks are not a bit soft at all. Its like we all are drinking poison proudly and asking others to drink them as well, what fools we have become and so did our government which cannot ban these soft drinks right this instant.
Thank you for sharing.
The majority of Americans do not grow their own food we are dependent upon companies like Pepsico to prepare food and drinks for our daily consumption. Chemicals are used in the production of everything we eat and drink. If we stop drinking Pepsi what can we drink as a substitute for Pepsi that does not contain any harmful chemicals?
Can we please get a grip on reality? I think that concerned citizens should go to the source of the problem by putting pressure on Pepsico to eliminate the most harmful chemicals that they use in their product. It is not fair to ask Beyonce or any other celebrity to turn down such a lucrative career enhancing deal. Who are we to decide whether she needs the money or not.If she does not take the deal another celebrity will. And they will be laughing at her all the way to the bank. Celebrities have been endorsing Pepsi for decades.
Citizens should be taught discipline, will power and how to make some decisions for themselves as children. Celebrities should not be turned into scape goats for bad choices by labeling them as role models. If Beyonce jumped off a roof and ten other people jumped off roofs would that be her fault too? Would she become a role model for committing suicide?
About the 500% waist expansion: I suspect that soda drinkers gained 5 inches while the control group gained an inch (or some similar figure). The implied 30-inch waist increasing to 150 inches (over 12 feet) is too incredible to believe.
Thank you :)
I gave up drinking all soda about 20 years ago. If I have one a year, now that's it.
scary... I should quit

Huskies looking for another archival moment
Huskies close out brutal four-game stretch against No. 11 USC
SEATTLE - Saturday: No. 11 USC (4-1, 2-1) at Washington (3-2, 1-1)
Time: 4 p.m.
Where: CenturyLink Field, Seattle
Radio: 950 AM/102.9 FM
The series: Washington and USC have played 81 times since the series began in 1923. The Trojans hold a 49-28-4 series advantage. Washington won its first meeting against the Trojans, beating USC, 22-0, in Seattle in 1923. When the series re-started in 1927, USC handed the Huskies six consecutive defeats before Washington reeled off five in a row. The longest streak either way in the series began in 1965, when the Trojans beat Washington for the first of 10 straight wins.
What to watch: How Washington counters USC receivers Marqise Lee and Robert Woods, plus Keith Price's mojo. Lee and Woods are trouble for all defenses. Washington corner Desmond Trufant will be up to the task, the question is if fellow corner Tre Watson can hold up his end. Also, Price will be looking to shake out of the funk he's been in for a couple weeks.
What's at stake: This is the end of most difficult part of Washington's schedule. If it can come out 2-2 against LSU, Stanford, Oregon and USC, the close to the season looks much brighter.
The pick: USC 28-24.
Todd Dybas
The first one was crucial.
When Erik Folk's kick went through the uprights and Washington stunned then third-ranked USC 16-13 in 2009, Steve Sarkisian's message of rapid resurrection received an immediate jolt.
The win delivered hope following a hopeless and winless 2008 season. Folk's 32-yard field goal as time expired in 2010 was another boon to the sense of renewal. At the time, the Huskies were 1-2 and coming off a blowout loss to Nebraska.
Last season USC reminded Washington of what could go wrong when everything doesn't go right, by thumping the Huskies 40-17.
Which brings Saturday's game as another marker. Washington (3-2, 1-1) faces the 11th-ranked Trojans (4-1, 2-1) at what is expected to be a wet and well-attended CenturyLink Field. The school said Friday 62,530 tickets had been distributed.
The trek north is USC's third time on the road the last four games. Washington comes home following a 52-21 shellacking by Oregon last weekend Eugene.
With the arrival of the Trojans, the Huskies are at the end of a harrowing schedule stretch during which they've played a team ranked in the top 11 four out of the last five games. That span has been a challenge for usually upbeat quarterback Keith Price.
Price sat in front of the media Monday and vowed to return to his perma-smile way. The young and often ineffective offensive line in front of him has left his confidence on the decline. Drops by his prime receivers have not helped.
"I've got to get my swagger back," Price said.
He'll get his shot against the Trojans, who were the top-ranked team in the preseason before a stunning 21-14 loss at Stanford derailed dreams and projections of USC returning to the crest of college football.
That leaves head coach Lane Kiffin scoffing at any thought of the Trojans overlooking Washington with Oregon a couple weeks away.
"That's not hard to do," Kiffin said of staying focused on Washington. "We're not playing well enough to look ahead to anybody. Obviously, we've already had one screw up."
That game combined with other pedestrian outings cancelled quarterback Matt Barkley's Heisman Trophy quest. Still Barkley is tied for the conference lead in touchdown passes and is third in passer efficiency.
He comes to Seattle slated to play for the first time (he was hurt in '09) with wide receivers Marqise Lee and Robert Woods, the best receiving duo in the country. The Trojans have been able to supplement their passing prowess with Penn State transfer running back Silas Redd, who averages 5.5 yards per carry.
"I know Lane hates when I say this but they're probably the most talented team in our conference," Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian said.
Washington thinks it's close to a balanced attack of its own. Running back Bishop Sankey has three consecutive 100-yard rushing games, though one was against FCS opponent Portland State. Sankey's success could be the key for Price to find firm footing once again. Sankey still won't be USC's defensive focus, but he has at least progressed from unknown non-issue to feasible threat.
Sankey's 6-yard touchdown at Oregon was a flash of his talent. He cut back at the start of the play, spun out of a tackle and ran through another.
"That right there is a lot of determination and it's really cool when you put that on film because you know it's there we know he's capable of things like that," Washington running backs coach Joel Thomas said. "That run is one of my favorite runs since we've been here."
There's little to indicate crucial tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins will not play. He left the game against Oregon after being hurt late in the second quarter and did not return. He's listed as the starter on the depth chart and Sarkisian said on Monday's coach's show on 950-KJR that Seferian-Jenkins' would likely be able to go. Because of school policy, Sarkisian would not comment on Seferian-Jenkins' status to the media this week.
So, USC pops up on the schedule at another crossroads for Washington. The two wins in Sarkisian's first to years were time-buyers. The Trojans come this year with modest grumbling surfacing about the program's progress the last three seasons.
A win Saturday will do more than just satisfy those who abandoned the bandwagon. It would put Washington at 2-2 through arguably the most brutish scheduling run in the country.
That would make another archival moment against USC.

Lessons Learned from Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger (Extended interview)
In 2009 Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, safely guided US Airways Flight 1549 to an emergency landing in the Hudson River in New York…saving everyone on board. Now he's bringing hard fought lessons from aviation safety to the world of medicine.
