Q&A With You Say Party! We Say Die!
Back in the U.S.A.
by Matt Crawford on Mar 05, 2010
SF Station (SFS): They are finally letting you back in the U.S.
Becky Ninkovic (BN): Yeah, we had some border troubles a couple of years back. We've been working hard to get back in, and finally all of our hard work paid off. We're excited to get back to SXSW this year, and we're looking forward to being in San Francisco again.
SFS: Did the stress from that situation almost cause the band to collapse or was it something else?
BN: I don't think so. On that tour, we were going 16 weeks straight with not nearly enough stops. We barely had any breaks and we really ran ourselves into the ground. My health just totally depleted. That is what led to that breakdown.
SFS: Touring for 16 weeks is an experience that most people don't know. Can you describe what kind of mind state that puts you in?
BN: It's a combination of fatigue and total exhaustion. I really need my solitude, and I wasn't really getting much of that. I also had a really difficult time trying to find food to eat. I was going through some health issues and I wasn't eating because I couldn't find food that I thought that I could eat. My mental state wasn't really stable because I was really malnutritioned.
When my voice started to go, I started to make up for it by dancing and with dance performance. I was burning so much of my energy on stage dancing my heart out, but I wasn't replenishing my body. It was a lot of things working against each other.
I needed a few months to get my health back on track, and after that and I found a new, better way of living and thinking.
SFS: You got a day job. Did that bring new life into your music?
BN: Yeah, it definitely did. Stephen and I help people with disabilities. It really taught me a lot about living with my own disabilities, and being more supportive of myself and the band.
There are a lot of things that you can learn just by doing. Through the work that we do, I think it has enabled us to do this with a spirit of support and love for each other.
SFS That is apparent with a lot of the songs and the symbolism you use with the XXXX title.
BN: Yeah, it was definitely a loving spirit that re-emerged through the hardships that we went through, and that spirit kind of came over into the songwriting. It's all I wanted to sing about and it's the only language that came out of me at the time. It felt so good to be expressing that.
I think I wanted to make songs that would feel really good to sing every night. Something I came up against a lot on tour was that with some songs of the past, it always felt like I was fighting against the music — I was really yelling, and it was kind of abrasive energy. Once that energy of love came in, I realized there was another way to sing that felt really good and liberating. It helped me connect with others more and break the struggle. It was a slow process of many revelations.
SFS: It sounds like you had a big turning point in your life. Do you feel like the band is now at a pivotal moment, as well?
BN: We really feel like this is our time. We realized that we can create whatever we want and make our dreams come true. There is no limit to the possibilities. There are a lot of those kinds of realizations happening now collectively and individually.
You can do whatever you want; you don't need to let your disabilities get in the way of you accomplishing your dreams. That spirit is really keeping me alive right now, and it can be contagious. As long as you keep reaching out to people, and don't think of negative things that hold you back, you can make your dreams come true.
It's my dream to help people and I feel like I can live out that part of me by sharing things that I'm discovering with others. I talk to teenage girls and let them know that it doesn't matter if you don't feel confident enough with what you want to do. Just act it out and start doing it and that confidence will come — it did for me. I definitely started out thinking I could never be in a band. Little by little, it has grown into what it is today, and I think it will keep growing.
You Say Party! We Say Die! perform at Bottom of the Hill on March 12th. Tickets are $10. Doors open at 8:30pm and the show starts at 10pm.

Posted by Tom Fornelli
Dana Holgorsen is getting ready for his first season at West Virginia after moving to Morgantown from Stillwater, where he was the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State. He'll be spending the 2011 season in the same position with the Mountaineers, though he'll take over head coaching duties from Bill Stewart following the season.
What he won't be doing next year, is changing his living arrangements. At the moment, Holgorsen currently lives in a hotel. He did the same thing while at Oklahoma State, and he has no plans on changing it.
"I'm never there," Holgorsen told the Charleston Daily Mail. "Typically I get there anywhere from 10 to 12 at night and I'm there until whenever I wake up. Then I shower and leave and when I'm working, I'm working.
"It's just easy. Convenience is a part of what I do. It makes sense. A lot of stuff that doesn't make sense is inconvenient. I try to live like that. That makes sense to me."
The convenience is that when Holgorsen does come home from work, his room has been cleaned and the bed's been made. That saves you a good five to ten minutes every day. While it seems strange that a coach who will be making a good amount of money would choose to live in a hotel room rather than a house, it does make a bit of sense as well.
After all, being a football coach isn't the most secure of jobs. Have a bad season and that contract you signed won't mean much, as a school can just replace you. So if you bought a house, now you have to sell the house and begin looking for a new place to live. Really, the only question I have for Holgorsen is that if he's lived in a hotel the last few years as an offensive coordinator, does he move into a better hotel once he becomes head coach?
Does he at least step up from the queen-sized bed to the king-size?
These are very important questions.

Many people wanted to do yoga but were held back by their busy life style. Some others who are already in the practice of yoga stopped because now they are always on the go. As a solution to this, there is now a traveling yoga mat. This allows practitioners to do yoga during their free time where ever they are.
The traveling yoga mat is flexible enough allowing you to fold and roll them. This makes the mat easy to transport with your luggage. In addition, if you are attending yoga classes and prefer using your own mat, the traveling mat will work well for you. Aside from its flexibility, the mat is also very light.
Being light, you can easily take the yoga mat anywhere that you want go and have your yoga practice. You can go to the beach and practice yoga in a scenic view. You can also bring it along with any kind of long weekend vacations to keep your body fit even if you are on a holiday. In addition to this, the yoga mat is also very easy to wash.
Since you are always travelling, you may think that the cleaning process of this yoga mat is quite hard. However, cleaning a mat is actually very easy. You can simply put it under running water and maybe apply some soap and it will be clean again. You can do this in the sink or the bathtub of your accommodation. Just to remember to clean it before using the tub again.
You might notice that the travelling yoga mat is very thin. If you want some added comfort during your yoga exercises, you can always put a rug or a towel under it. This way, you will have a soft but has high traction surface. This would allow you to shift from one position to another with ease. Just remember to make the rug or the towel evenly placed under the mat for safety reasons.
Because this type of yoga mat has many advantages, it is highly advisable that you get one for yourself. You can avail a travelling mat at any sports or yoga stores. However, they do not have a stock of it at all times. To prevent wasting your time, you can try buying these mats through the Internet.
There are site and online stores that focus on selling yoga accessories and apparels. You can browse from their available lists of yoga mat and order. You may have to pay them through online money transfer or credit card. With this, you can avail a travelling mat without leaving your home.
Before starting any yoga exercise, ensure that you have a yoga mat to use even if you are always on the go. You can still practice yoga without a mat but you will be at risk in slipping and sustaining a serious injury. In all of the things that you are going to try, ensure your safety first.

I love it. Just finishing up my first pot which I used everyday for I'd say 3 months now and I think its amazing! Very nice colour, great coverage. I use a brush from ELF the one with the flat top and long handle (think it might be the studio brush), and it works perfectly, I always blot after application with a tissue just to take off any excess powder. Underneath I always use Studio Finish concealer from MAC and both products work v well together. Warmth is a lovely bronzer too but you only need a TINY amount.
I'm around an NW20-25 for reference. Lasts a good 8hrs + for me.No breakouts.

After several days of using this product my skin developed a horrible rash. I also had skin bumps and breakouts. The ad for this product was so impressive so I purchased it. Bad decision! I donated the product to my aunt including the brushes that came with it. Apparently so many others had a reaction due the corn starch content in it. This was also an expensive mistake for me. I wanted a faster way to apply foundation just by brushing powder without using the conventional way of using liquid foundation but due to my skin reaction i ll never buy this again. I m happy to go back the conventional way. I had to see the doctor for my skin`s reaction. Terrible!

So, where to begin with this review.... Well, I've used Bare Minerals before (several years ago in my mid twenties) and loved it then, but eventually found myself lured by the promise of a slew of tinted moisturizers. I reviewed this product in Medium Beige about six years ago and have no idea what I was doing using that shade, unless I was really tan, which I rarely was since I'm from San Francisco, but who knows. Anyway! I've been having some breakouts lately and have been really annoyed with my skin for the past few months (thanks, hormonal acne!). I have a coworker who has lovely skin, and I complimented her on it a few weeks ago and she said, nope, it's not so lovely, it's just that she uses Bare Minerals. I pretty much had written off mineral makeup altogether and hadn't even considered going back to it until talking to her. It truly doesn't look like she's wearing anything. She just has this lovely, creamy, bare looking skin. So, I went to Sephora and bought a starter kit after being matched to Fairly Light, which literally disappears into my skin. Honestly, this product is pretty much amazing. My skin looks so creamy and healthy and actually, I haven't had any breakouts in weeks (just healing now from post acne red marks). That may have something to do with having a better skincare regimen in place, but I can definitely say Bare Minerals hasn't contributed to any breakouts. Also, it really feels like I'm not wearing anything. I don't even use a separate concealer anymore--just use two light layers with the brushes in the starter kit, and then a concealer brush with a little extra product for the areas that need a little more attention, and I'm good to go (followed by Mineral Veil). Also, I teach a fitness class several times a week and work out fairly frequently and after sweating a lot, I still look pretty decent, which is not how I normally look (trust me--usually my tinted moisturizer has sweated off and I'm an unpolished mess). All in all, if you've deviated from Bare Minerals, it's worth giving it a second try. I'm hooked!

I think I love this stuff!
I have been using this for around a week now, I have the original in fairly light. I first went to Debenhams and had an SA apply this for me, she used Prime time primer, BM Fairly Light, Light Bisque, all over warmth and mineral veil. Now I have to say, when it first went on I was not impressed, I couldn't see any difference at all, I have fairly oily skin, with red patches, huge pores, rosacea and some pimple at the moment too, oh and nasty bags under the eyes, I could still see all my pimples, my pores, the bags and my skin was still shiny! granted my rosacea appeared a tad lighter but for �50 for a starter set (which doesn't include concealer) I just though No Thanks!
Now, I didn't say anything at the time but the SA did mention in passing that most people do expect to see instant results and are disappointed, as this stuff has to settle and react with your skin's natural oils before you will see anything.
Low and behold, when I got home my skin was flawless! No redness, no bags, no rosacea, amazing. The best part was I didn't look "powdery" or overdone and it didn't feel heavy or oily on my face like my liquid foundation. Of course I ordered some straight away and have been using it ever since, every day at work. I have noticed however that I get oily by about lunchtime and that no amount of touching up with mineral veil de-shines me completely, also it doesn't last all day, I start to get red patches and pimples show through during the day and these pots aren't exactly ideal for carrying around and doing touch ups with. So I've taken points off for that, also the fact that the packaging is a pain, it's messy (even though I have the new stuff, with the sifters) some powder seems to get out through the "locked" sifters anyway, especially with warmth and mineral veil.
I also think my skin is a bit irritated by the mica in this, I'm pretty sure it isn't the bismuth as my skin doesn't itch or massively break out, although when I first put this on my skin does feel a bit tickly, rather than itchy, but I think that's down to the fact it's a powder. Anyway I love this product so much, despite it's few short comings, that I've just ordered the Matte version to see if that calms my skin. I would highly reccomend this, I would also advise going to an outlet and seeing an SA and getting her to colour match you and teach you how to apply it, my SA was very nice and she matched me to this shade, which I must say is actually PERFECT for my pale skin. Also the SA's wear all of the products so they are best placed to reccomend stuff and you can see it in action on them as well. Love this product. I'll let you know if the matte stuff is any better, oh and I've ordered the blemish treatment to help calm the bumps left by the mica in this (mica is the partical that "reflects" light and makes this shiny/sparkly, it's very bad for blocking pores as it is quite coarse).
Edit: Matte was better- caused no breakouts on me, however after a months continued use I found that this causes obvious dry patches around my nose, lips and under the eyes (which just serves to highlight my dark spots) I have now stopped using this and have gone back to liquid foundation, the search continues...

The product looked GREAT on my face. The problem was that I was allergic to one of the ingredients. I had never had any reaction to a product the way I had to this one! WOW! It hurt to have it on!
I tried this product on several occasions, and still, what a horrible itch!
My girlfriends who always poo-poo my suggestions (always for less expensive products) don't believe me. Maybe I am an alien, but WOW, this stuff just irritated the hell out of my skin! I donated all of my Bare Minerals to a local charity. I sure hope that the women there don't have the same reaction! I truly feel guilty!

I received this mineral foundation free off a competition (hense the 5 lippy rating for price!) It is absolutely amazing, it is the perfect colour for my fair skin and it really evens out my skin tone. I use it coupled with a handy buki brush I also got. I don't think I could ever go back to using liquid foundation, it's just too oily for my skin. I have almost run out of my free sample, so I'll definitely be buying the larger version!!

I've been using this mineral foundation for many years. I think it gives pretty good coverage, and lasts all day. I use Mineral Veil over it. Somtimes I do feel itchy, I guess it is because it contain bismuth, which can cause skin reactions. A good foundation, but very expensive.

I like the coverage, finish, color, and application of this product. It leaves a natural glow and is fun to apply since you just buff with a dense brush, which I find less tedious than applying and blending liquid foundation.
But this stuff breaks me out like crazy. I've used Colorstay for years, and my skin is normally clear. After just a few days of BE, my skin had blemishes and clogged pores everywhere, and now I have to calm it down.
I'm back to using Colorstay, and I'll try using the BE as a light finishing powder. Maybe using less BE and having a foundation between my skin and the BE will work out.
*Edit: This didn't work as a finishing powder, either. My skin broke out badly even when I used this on top of liquid foundation. Too bad, because I like the finish. Coty Airspun and Revlon Skinlights powder (an older luminizer) have been working fine, so I'm sure the BE was the problem.

Hi there,
My husband and I want to go to some Vietnam beaches in August, and were wondering where is best. We'd like to chill out, I think, as the rest of our trip looks like it will be pretty hectic, and would like to spend around three days somewhere on the beach. Where do people recommend? Is Nha Trang too crazy for relaxing? Is Mui Ne beach going to take too long to get to/from when we only have limited time?

Hoi An and Nha Trang beaches will be busy, it's still quiet in Mui Ne though.
You can get there pretty easily, no worries. My Khe beach is ok but gets more surf, maybe not ideal for swimming.

Video Stabilization for DM36x with GStreamer
DM36x Image processor includes hardware for video stabilization, and TI provides a library for using it on the reference platforms they design (but not in a very generic way to be re-used outside them, since requires low-level access to the hardware and doesn't integrates well with the kernel). So being RidgeRun the GStreamer fans we are, we decided to enable support for it from GStreamer :) The way to do this is that we are collecting the data output from the hardware video stabilization and "attach" it to the video frames coming out of the v4l2 interface (so we are actually providing back buffers with a bit more data that just the image). Then we added a gstreamer element dm365_vs to replace the dmaiacccel. This element picks up the stabilization data attached to the video buffer and calls TI's vs algorithm and adding the cropping information back into to the buffer so we can stabilize the video on the encoder or display! Results: pretty impressive stabilization, check out the video in our youtube channel. Contact us if you want to use this in your next DM36x project using GStreamer.

1890-02-28 (156lbs) Alf Ball w co 12 (12) Jack Welland, Goodwin Club, Shoreditch, London, England
1890-02-28 (156lbs) Alf Ball w co 12 (12) Jack Welland, Goodwin Club, Shoreditch, London, England. Made at catchweights, the opening seven rounds had little going for them, other than there being too much holding for which both men received warnings from the referee. Pulling himself together, Ball (156) finally woke up in the eighth when scoring repeatedly with the left and from there on there was only one man likely to win and it was not the plodding Welland (154), who although game lacked the basic rudiments of the game. After knocking Wellard out in the final session, the Sporting Life reported that when Ball boxed coolly he did well, but when trying to knock Wellard out he was wild and precipitate. Both men finished the contest with damage to their left eyes.
Regardless of any criticism, the winner claimed the English 156lbs title on the strength of this result.

About this entry
It's almost two years since Nickelodeon proudly met the demands of its longtime fans on social media who demanded that we "Bring Back '90s Nick." The '90s Are All That programming block came out strong, running all the fan favorites from that "golden" decade. In its second year of existence, it took a huge leap forward, connecting that eager social audience with its on-air experience in innovative, hilarious and exciting new ways. Week after week, the '90s Are All That block has integrated fan creations, photos, videos and memes into its epic stunts. The Ultimate '90s Nick Showdown on Facebook led to the "best '90s Nick show EVER" being crowned on-air with a special viewing that night. The "90s MEMEorial" stunt brought all your favorite Internet memes right into the episodes with big bold text written atop memorable scenes. And that's not to mention the fan-made memes that we ran in the space between those episodes. From an April Fools' prank that trended number one on Twitter in the US and worldwide (featuring a jar of mayonnaise for a half-hour on-air), letting the fans 'host' our stunts with their Vine submissions that we play before episodes, and our '90s Are All CAT event that was exactly as Internet-y as it sounds, the '90s Are All That block has had its most social year yet, and we're just getting started.It all began on social. Nostalgic teens and twenty-somethings demanding the return of their beloved '90s programming from Nickelodeon's rich history. Almost two years ago, we happily met those demands. In 2013, we realized that it would take more than just airing past shows to recreate the unique experience of being a '90s Nick kid. The programming of '90s Nickelodeon fit perfectly into your existence as a 10-year-old in 1996. Today it requires a new playground of sorts, created in the social space and reflected on-air, to connect with the audience in a meaningful way. Through a series of bold stunts, the '90s Are All That block has integrated fan creations, photos, videos and memes from all platforms to put the viewer IN the programming, right where they belong. One of our favorite, lol-worthy stunts from the last year was our #90sMEMEorial Week. First of all, check out that pun! Secondly, the social engagement was da bomb! It all started by seeding out our '90s Nick-themed "memes" on our social platforms and asking fans to create their own versions. In came a stream of 'Condescending Kenan,' 'Sleepy Tommy Pickles,' 'Overly Upset Ashley' and more, all aligned with our shows and ready to blast out on-air! When the week rolled around, we paid tribute to the fans' works of Internet gold with awesome interstitials, and the trending topics followed each night. At the same time, we magnified the experience with additional share-worthy elements like the first-ever "in-show" memes that we simultaneously posted as GIFs to share on social to keep the loop going. Right while the episodes were playing, those beautiful "impact" letters hit the screen in the middle of famous '90s scenes, suddenly connecting nostalgia and relevance in a way that only The '90s Are All That could offer. Another hit social stunt that delivered number one trending topics on Twitter in the US and worldwide, plus a tripling of our average rating in the time slot, was a little something we affectionately call "The Mayo." All across our platforms we supplied our highly vocal "Rocko's Modern Life" fans with the promise of a never-before-seen episode of the show. Fans were excited, to say the least. Even the show's creator, Joe Murray, commented on our Facebook post about it. What they didn't know was that at the strike of midnight, the beginning of April Fools' Day on the East Coast, we were going to serve a half-hour of a jar of mayonnaise on their TVs. That's right, a static animation of a jar of mayonnaise for 30 whole minutes, with commercial breaks and fan Tweets running on the screen, the ultimate tribute to a social-favorite episode, "Wacky Deli," in the most absurd way we could imagine. Mere minutes after it began on-air, Twitter exploded with reactions and we were there to capture it. Not only was this a successful and fun event for the team, it also provided us with invaluable data. We were able to map ratings against Twitter activity and the lifts went hand-in-hand. This was our first true petri dish of testing social impact on ratings-- with absolutely nothing changing on-air, ratings lifted exclusively because of the social conversation. Of course, the next day we got to continue one of our beloved practices in the social/on-air space: our Twitter Responses. Whether it's a laughing and/or screaming fan reacting to a jar of mayonnaise, Rob Kardashian talking about watching Hey Arnold or Jordin Sparks spilling her undying '90s Nick love, our on-air team quickly turns around packaging to highlight these top Tweets and blasts out our responses to them on all our platforms. Our rule across the board is to treat all our concepts equally, whether they start online or on-air. That became undeniably clear when our social team kicked off the ultimate '90s Nick Faceoff, a bracket-style showdown of the top shows from the '90s in every category. In this eight-week digital experience on Facebook and our website, we experimented with different methods of letting fans vote, fully utilizing all of Facebook's native functionalities. As we reached the end of the competition, logging over 20 million impressions and 200,000+ votes, the on-air team stepped up and delivered a payoff of the winning series being crowned with a special viewing that night. Fans were thrilled to see "Legends of the Hidden Temple" back on-air for the first time in months. On top of all this, we've just broken into the Vine and Instagram Video space by soliciting short videos from our fans to let them 'host' special nights of programming. For these 'Mixtape' events, we put out the call to action, asking fans to send in their own tributes, acting like the VJs of their '90s memories, dedicating each episode to a fellow '90s fan near and dear to their heart. We love seeing video messages from our fans and we always blast them far and wide whenever they spring up. We'll round things out by just mentioning that we did a "90s Are All CAT" stunt, mostly because we all love our own cats (and puns), but also because it was incredibly web-friendly and adorable. We received hundreds of photos of our fans' cats, put them in hilarious '90s Nickelodeon situations on-air and online, and tricked out all our episodes to make them truly CAT-astic! (i.e. replacing every few words with a 'meow' in an episode of "Kitten and Kel"). Cats need a little nostalgia in their lives too, ya know. The '90s Nick kid in all of us doesn't just want to watch '90s Nick shows. They want to be a part of them again. Through Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Vine and Instagram, we've been able to reintegrate our fans into the programming so we can say with great pride that the '90s are back and better than ever.

Larry Ward (voice actor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any references (sources). (December 2009)
Larry A. Ward (October 2, 1944 – October 15, 2007) was an American linguist and voice actor who provided voices for characters in two of the six Star Wars films.
An electronically synthesized version of his voice was used in Star Wars (1977) as Greedo, a bounty hunter. Ward's second film was Return of the Jedi (1983) for which he provided the voice of Jabba the Hutt. His voice was made much deeper and given a booming quality using subharmonics.
Ward, a Berkeley-based linguist, developed the Huttese language alongside Ben Burtt.

George Clooney has backtracked on comments about Leonardo DiCaprio which made it seem as though the Titanic star was not down-to-earth.
The Gravity actor used the example of a basketball game he once played against the 39-year-old hunk in which he was convinced he would triumph, but instead lost out to George.
Now the silver fox insists the conversation between himself and an Esquire magazine journalist were more so about sports and not other celebrities.
"The discrepancy between their game and how they talked about their game made me think of how important it is to have someone in your life to tell you what's what," he told the latest issue of Esquire.
"I'm not sure if Leo has someone like that."
George Clooney cleared uo chatter of a fight with Leonardo DiCaprio (WENN)
George's publicist has clarified that he wasn't talking about Leo's life in general, just that game.
"The Leo comments were all made in fun about basketball," the spokesperson told E! News.
"Not about Leo's life. The writer and George were laughing about basketball buddies."
George didn't change his stance on Russell Crowe though, who bashed him publicly eight years ago.
"He picked a fight with me. He started it for no reason at all," George complained in the publication.
"He put out this thing saying, 'George Clooney, Harrison Ford, and Robert De Niro are sellouts'...He really went after me.
"And so I sent him a note going, 'Dude, the only people who succeed when two famous people are fighting is People magazine. What the f**k is wrong with you?'"
His publicist explained that he would not be apologizing for the way those comments were taken in the interview.
"As for the Russell Crowe story. George was asked about it and told the truth," the representative added.

Big Ten head coaches already upset with Meyer
It appears that the grace period for new coaches in the Big Ten lasts for 65 days or only one National Signing Day. That's how long it took for fellow Big Ten coaches to publicly speak about being upset with new Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer.
Not surprisingly, the complaints from Wisconsin's Bret Bielema and Michigan State's Mark Dantonio are related to Meyer's recruiting tactics. Particularly the part where he just shows up, swoops in and then causes recruits to suddenly change their minds and flock to Columbus.
"There are a few things that happened early on that I made people aware of that I didn't want to see in this league, that I had seen take place in other leagues," said Bielema on Wednesday. "Other recruiting tactics, other recruiting practices that are illegal.
"I was very up front and was very pointed to the fact, actually reached out to Coach Meyer and shared my thoughts and concerns with him. The situation got rectified."
Michigan State's Mark Dantonio was a bit more to the point.
"(Ohio State has) a new coach, and it's different," Dantonio told the Detroit News. "I would say it's pretty unethical, in the end."
It seems that Bielema and Dantonio aren't used to the recruiting tactics Meyer has brought along from his days in the SEC, where the gentlemanly rules of the Big Ten do not exist. It seems SEC coaches know that no commitment means anything until a letter of intent is signed, so the race for any recruit they might want doesn't end before February.
Question the morality of it all you want, but you'll notice the SEC has won the last six national championships while the Big Ten has been rather uninspiring.
Meyer's first class at Ohio State was good enough to finish ranked third in the CBS Sports National Signing Day Top 25. In that class of 24, 10 of the commits didn't come on board until after Meyer became head coach at Ohio State. Of those 10 players, eight had previously given commitments to other school.
Including offensive lineman Kyle Dodson (Wisconsin) and defensive end Se'Von Pittman (Michigan State). Hence the reactions of Bielema and Dantonio. Still, of the other six, four had been committed to Penn State and two to Notre Dame. You don't hear Bill O'Brien or Brian Kelly crying foul about it today.
Not that complaining will do anything to deter Meyer. He's a head coach that realizes in order to build a successful program, not only do you need to have a good coaching staff, but you have to have good players. Players that are found through recruiting.
So whine about how he does all you want, he's seen the fruits of his efforts and has a couple rings to show for it. Nothing anybody can say will change that.
Other Big Ten coaches can either get on board, or run the risk of being left behind.

Big Ten head coaches already upset with Meyer
Goose49- That's simply not true. I knew that when Lloyd Carr was replaced by RichRod we were in for some stormy times ahead (ethically speaking). I would rather have 10 more seasons of honest but underperforming football with Carr than even 1 NC with RichRod and his methods. See, the people in Big Ten country are different than SEC folks. We aren't "win at all costs" and recruiting like Meyer is might work, but it comes at a price. Nick Saban is respected as a coach, but everyone knows he has very low moral standards. A Big 10 coach wouldn't quit in the midst of a season to make himself available for another job, either (Bobby Petrino).
Somebody would do well to remind these sleazy scumbags that football is still just a game, and trading honor for BCS championships is the wrong example for our youth.

A coach should only want players that want to be at the school that are committed to playing, training, sweating, and bleeding for that University becuase they take pride in the school along with pride in themselves. Talent is important but so is teamwork and chemistry in football. If you lose a player, you lose a player he didn't want to be there in the first place it should have no bearing on how successful of a football season you will have, case in point, Boise State. Chris Petersen does not get five star recruits but he develops talent at Boise State and there is a culture of winning and the players expect this from themselve once they enroll.

These are the same Big 10 schools that had no problem whatsoever stealing our recruits last year. Telling them that we were going to get huge sanctions and not be able to play for national championships for a long time.
As far as Wisconsin is concerned, maybe their coach should look at the fact that he's lost over half his coaching staff, including the coach that heavily recruited Kevin Dodson.
Also, verbal commitments are just that; VERBAL!!!! It doesn't count until they actually sign the contract on national signing day. So let them bitch and moan all they want. Just go out and beat us on the field, where it really counts.

In all fairness Meyer took the head coaching position at Ohio State at the end of November and while other coaches he communications with other players Urban had to play catch up after being out of football for a year. Wisconsin and Michigan State have great football programs but the Buckeyes are gonna be the cream of the crop again in the Big 10. It's not because of this year's recruiting class it's because of 19 returning starters that played their tails off in 2011 with little experience on the playing field and the sideline. With last year's roster Tressell would have won at least 10 games. Fickell was thrown into the head coach position with no experience and it showed as he often looked like a deer in the headlights. Still Luke did a great job considering the circumstances.

meyer and OSU deserve each other, won't be but a few years and violations under meyer will come. The big ten has more integrity and does it the right way more than any conference. It's typical that OSU would hire someone like meyer to run their rougue "franchise". &%$# all the buckeye nation! GO BLUE!

This is the reason The Big Ten gets its asses kicked every year in Bowl games.Getting the right players to win,and Meyer coaches them to win too.The Big Ten is still 10 years behind in football,and you think your so high and mighty.I hear your Head Coach at Wisc.is such a bad drunk,they have to take him home most nights.Please don't talk about other people.Like Bobby Bowden told Lou Holtz one time,you can't Coach 2 Teams.Ohio State and Urban Meyer are playing to Win.This ain't Grade School

I remember when we got him initially there was a couple people from Carolina that came on the other board and said that he seemed to simply disappear in for games at a time. Well, I would say until last year that was complete hogwash. Well, it seems like he disappeared for about 15 games last year and I'm not sure at his age, and his cost that there is really any way that I want him back.

That experience gave birth to a journey to bring all the sciences together into one perspective, one we now call "interpersonal neurobiology," that offers a definition of the mind, a view of mental health, and a framework that reveals how mind, brain, and relationships are three facets of one reality that shapes our lives.
Q What do you love about teaching?
A I love joining with others in a conversation about how we can bring more insight, empathy, and kindness into our lives and world. When people learn about interpersonal neurobiology, they can experience a new way of not only seeing how our lives are shaped deeply by both our relationships and our neural structures, but also how they can use the mind to actually change the function and structure of their brain. When we also weave in the power of relationships to help create more compassion and kindness in the world, we see a how a process called "integration"—the linkage of differentiated parts—is the underlying basis of health in our social, neural, and mental worlds.
Q What are you passionate about right now?
A How to bring these ideas into families' and individuals' everyday lives as well as into schools, organizations, the helping professions, and even public policy.
Q What do you do in your downtime?
A Relax with my family and friends, walk the dogs, hike, sail, ride bikes, listen to music, juggle, dance, walk on the beach at sunset.

If he hasn't also won a title in 4 years, then perhaps people can legitimately criticise. Until then, he's actually showing more potential than Simon did at that age.

A member of Selena Gomez's family called police after a man allegedly trespassed outside of the singer's home this weekend.
A rep for the Los Angeles Police Department told E! News the "Come & Get It" crooner's family member called them Saturday morning around 9:34 a.m. after seeing a man on the property.
The LAPD responded and arrested the man at Gomez's Tarzana, Calif. residence, but weren't sure if Gomez was home at the time of the incident.
In spite of previous speculation, the suspect is not the same person who was arrested for stalking Gomez in late 2011.
NEWS: Demi Lovato says Selena Gomez is "Strong" and doing "Really Well" in wake of ex Justin Bieber's arrest
Prior to the trespassing incident, Gomez appeared to be in "great spirits" Friday following her ex-Justin Bieber's arrest in Miami.
After enjoying a girls night out with Demi Lovato Thursday, the 21-year-old Spring Breakers star hung out at the Beats Music Launch Party at Belaso Theater in Los Angeles Friday night, arriving with her costar Ashley Benson around 10:40 p.m.
A source told E! News the brunette beauty was in "great spirits" at the pre-Grammy party, as she posed for photos with the Pretty Little Liars star.
Sir Paul McCartney, Jimmy Iovine and Macklemore were also in the VIP area with Gomez and Benson, who were all on hand for performances by Dr. Dre, Eminem, Trent Reznor, Sean "Diddy" Combs and more.

A 59-year-old man tending to a car just towed out of a ditch in southern Alachua County died after being struck by a car trying to pass, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said Garrott Cutler of Cross Creek was removing chains from a Chrysler Sebring after it was pulled back onto State Road 121 about 8:21 p.m. That vehicle was blocking the southbound and part of the northbound lane when a Chevrolet Malibu driven by Landayle Jones, 24, of Gainesville, tried to get around the blockage.
The passing car struck Cutler and the left rear of the Sebring.
Cutler died at the scene. A 19-year-old listed as the driver of the Sebring was not injured.
The FHP report said no charges were expected in the crash.

HARRISBURG — A Delaware County lawmaker filed a public records request Wednesday seeking the details behind Gov. Tom Corbett's new plan to expand drilling beneath state forests and parks.
In his 2014-15 budget proposal, Corbett projects $75 million in new revenue through additional so-called "non-impact surface drilling" on state lands. The pitch is that the expanded drilling would apply only to existing well pads, and not create any additional surface disturbances on state lands.

UW Thread
who should be the Kick/Punt returners?
KR: Kevin Smith/Jesse Callier
Kevin Smith did well returning. and gotta love beating up on Syracuse for 3 quarters.
I was happy that everything looked much, much better this last week. Hopefully they keep getting better and knock off Nebraska this week.
For them to beat Nebraska they need to have Fellner and Parker as their safeties. I know Parker is a true freshman, but he was an espnu 150 and consensus 4* with speed to burn and playmaking ability. Having JJ instead of Bruns would help, along with getting Callier and Smith some good touches in the offense. Maybe Johri out of the backfield too. And lots and lots of Jake Locker circa 2008 pre-injury, when he was the best passer/runner i've ever seen.
Well...I'm not quite sure what they need other than to play like they did against USC last year.
USC last year (early) > Nebraska now
USC early last year was a dominating team that had their motivation driven from them after they lost to UW.
I think we all agree that UW is better this year, and I think that we're going to give a really nasty shock to Nebraska. Course that could just be my homer-tinted glasses talking.
Although I did just hear on the radio that Bo Pelini doesn't think that crowd noise will be a factor when it comes to his freshman QB...sounds like a challenge to me but hey...
But yes, we need Locker to play like the Heisman candidate we all know he can be and not like a piece of crap if we want to win this game.
EDIT: I just remembered that Sark said we wouldn't lose at home this year. And I trust Sark! So we're gonna win the game! (bad logic at work :D)
After that field goal all the frats went charging out into the street and started chanting. The parties are starting right now!!!!
Oh it feels so good to win that game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh man that was insane. Eric Folk for jesus.
Very depressing to see a lack of improvement from this team. Watching the game saturday i couldnt help think how much of a talent gap there was between both teams. To me if you take Mason Foster and Jake Locker off this team it is probably 115-120 as far as all D-1 schools is concerned.
Was interesting to see that Jake was tested for Mono last week. Kids at that age dont take as good a care of themselves as they should. Word i had was after the SC game he got back in to Seattle at 4 in the morning and was at a run for some cancer family at 0900 hrs. Great guy but he needs to get some rest.
Would also add that i think they need to change the pass to run ratio. They need to keep Locker upright, for the team and his future. Let's run Callier and Polk more and reverse the number of rushes and passes.
Looks like Eric Koehler is out for an extended period of time with Mono. His replacement at guard (Greg Christine?) is absolutely not a D-1 player. Koehler was arguably their best guy upfront and a future all-pac 10 OT.
The top receivers until Aguillar comes back look like Deandre Cooper and Jordan Polk, are you ####ing kidding me.
Yeah man, it is brutal to watch.
I thought they would be improved this year, but they just don't have the talent. I was telling my friends during the game that we might as well put in the freshmen. At least see what they got.
Because the juniors and seniors on this team with the exception of Locker, Foster, and Folk are not even close to being a top of the Pac 10 team.
And don't even get me started on that piece of **** Kearse...
Deandre Cooper? If you mean Deontae Cooper then he's been medical redshirted. Maybe you mean Cody Bruns? Maybe I missed something, but we only are short DA and Kevin Smith. A WR Corp of JJ3, Kearse, Bruns, and J. Polk is good enough to compete, especially with Johri Forgerson (one of the more versatile players on our team) on the mend.
the worst player on the team is Nate Williams. hands down, he should not be starting. Start Sean Parker (Love he is getting nickel time) and put Taz back there instead of Fellner. Too bad Mason and Jake are part of this team, as they don't deserve anything this bad.
Positions that are going to suck next year:
Interior O-Line
to be honest that's it. Those are the biggest flaws of Ty's recruiting and one of the things Sark is up against. He's brought in some great DB's already (Dez, Parker, Taz) along with some solid MLB depth (Gilliand. Burnett), but he hasn't had enough time to get solid big D-lineman. hence the non-existent pass rush and first level run defense.
It's going to be interesting seeing how Austin Sefarian-Jenkins turns out. Big 6'7" TE who may be a LT prospect. At either position he is a huge boost to the talent.
But looking at the recruits that Sark has lined up right now...not really seeing the impact player at any of those positions.
Does Montana step up and thrive with a talented receving core augmented by Kasen Williams?
Do the defensive recruits we've brought in step up and make a big impact? I mean we got a couple of 3-4 stars this last year. Why aren't they playing them more? Even if they make mistakes, at least they have the talent to compete at this level. Unlike some of the current starters.
The best way to get more talent is to win. I just have a hard time seeing the Huskies winning a lot of games to make it to a bowl this year (brutal stretch coming up...). And we all know that bowls are a great way to gain exposure.
There looks like some hope for the offense going forward, Callier is just a freshman and in Sefarian-Jenkins at TE and Williams at WR you have two bigtime recruits. Add to that Koehler, Schaeffer and Porter upfront and it looks pretty nice, not sure what Montana will turn out to be.
On the defensive side i still dont see anything in the pipeline that even remotely looks like a pass rush or a decent secondary.
I'm gonna disagree with the decent secondary comment. We have an elite talent at safety and an elite talent at corner on the roster already. D-Line tho we need Potao'e to become a real good DT, while Josh Shirley was a bluechipper coming out, and he only redshirted because he got in so late. getting a bluechipper at DE would be awesome, but if he have a formidable solution to get 2 sacks a game i'll be happy.
summond i am pumped to see ASJ and Kasen along with the talent we have. Too bad Keanon Lowe went to Oregon, he'd of been perfect in the slot with Kasen and Kevin Smith on the outside, with ASJ in the middle. I'm telling you guys tho, we're going to have a really crowded backfield with Bigelow and Cooper coming/getting healthy in this year. Throw in Bronson and both Fogersons and we are starting to get what Sark had at USC. Ivan is going to turn our young OL into freaks and we'll be a good running team which will help our new QB, whoever it is.
At last Kearse got over his case of the dropsies and came up big!!!
Well played by OSU, but damn it feels good to win that game. Especially in such an epic manner :D
oh man i agree.
but i have a few gripes.
why'd we move away from the fly sweep motion?
why was Bruns punt returning? was he really our best option?
Greg Christine sucks.
Jamora is the only pass rusher UW has sadly.
other than that I'm solid with the game.
oh and Parker over Nate Williams sooner rather than later please.
Yeah, I can't wait for Kohler (didn't see him this week) to come back so that Christine never plays another down...
But I think my biggest gripe with the game now that I've calmed down from the excitement, is the fact that we didn't capitalize on any of the turnovers we created.
0 points off 3 turnovers is unacceptable.
Also, what is wrong with Eric Folk? He has been lights out kicking this year until last week. He kicked that dud in the rain against ASU, which is kind of understandable, and then he missed that field goal this week.
Maybe I'm just spoiled by how good he was earlier this year, but I expect him to hit any field goal within 50 yards...
Oh, and Nate Williams sucks.
Kohler was at practice today, and he should be back in the lineup. The points off turnovers was understandable when you look at where they were forced. Parker's INT was in the endzone and fellners was at like the 10 going in for OSU. Long fields, but those took points off the board for OSU. The Trufant pick would have been an easy 3, but locker fumbled in the redzone.
Nate Williams should be playing linebacker. he'd be a great outside linebacker (better than Ayiewa) if he was 10 pounds bigger.
Tired of the rollercoaster ride this team is on. All we hear is we played x amount of freshmen or y amount of freshmen. What i want to know is are they not getting it done because they are young or young and lousy.
The defense was absolutely atrocius tonight. I dont think i've seen a secondary play so terrible. A week or two ago someone in the media said something about Trufant going pro after next year, are you ####ing kidding me, the guy is a joke.
Ditto...I just want to know why the hell they can't get any consistency out of this team...
No pass rush, poor tackling, and the offense just not able to get anything going left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I quit watching at halftime.
As for guys going pro...I have no idea. Locker and Foster are going pro. They are the only guaranteed ones. Everyone else...just needs to get better.
Will get to see Stanford's David DeCastro for the 1st (and probably last) time this saturday. Potential AA guard and he grew up a whole 5 miles from Husky stadium, swell.
Our secondary is ******* Swiss cheese.
I hate Quinton Richardson so much.
Can ASJ and Kasen come soon enough? Maybe then we will get over 100 total yards. longer post will come later when i can think rationally. I agree with sark tho: "[The first half] was the worst half off offense I've ever been associated with"

Plenty of good reasons exist for Indiana to drop out of the Common Core, the national initiative to standardize what is taught in all public schools throughout the country.
It takes away local control. It reduces teacher flexibility. It substitutes the judgment of anonymous educrats for that of expert math and English teachers. It's too focused on career readiness at the expense of learning for learning's sake.
But the biggest reason to oppose Common Core has nothing to do with policy considerations and everything to do with quality. The standards are inferior to what Indiana already had in ...

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Film Score)
By 1983, his compositions had earned him the first of numerous awards. In 1986, he received a fellowship from Columbia University and moved to New York City. He remained a resident of the city after receiving a doctorate in musical composition. In 1996, the Kronos Quartet performed his "Ghost Opera" around the globe. Dun's operatic composition "Marco Polo," with libretto by Paul Griffiths, was commissioned by the Edinburgh Festival and premiered at the Munich Biennale in May 1996. The success of the piece resulted in Dun being named composer of the year by Germany's Opera Magazine. In October 1996, Dun's guitar concerto was performed by Sharon Isbin at the Donaueschingen Music Festival. A month later, his extended piece "Red Forecast (Orchestra Theater II)" was performed by soprano vocalist Susan Botti at the Huddersfield Music Festival and broadcast by the BBC. Commissioned by the Association for the celebration of the Reunification of Hong Kong with China, "Symphony 1997 (Heaven Earth Mankind)" was performed by Yo-Yo Ma, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Imperial Bells Ensemble, and Yips Children's Choir, with Dun conducting, on July 4, 1997. The piece was subsequently given its American debut at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall during a performance by Yo-Yo Ma and the Orchestra of St. Luke's. In May 1998, Dun's composition "Peony Pavilion," based on an ancient Chinese opera, was performed at the Vienna Festival; a recording followed a year later. Dun additionally served as resident composer and conductor for the BBC Scottish Symphony. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi

Level 3 may wield net neutrality rules against Comcast
updated 11:00 am EST, Fri January 14, 2011
Level 3 to use net neutrality against Comcast
In the latest development in their fight, international, fiber-based Internet provider Level 3 Communications may be readying to challenge Comcast under the new net neutrality rules approved by the FCC. It argued that Comcast might break the rules by charging special access or toll charges to reach a customer, as is purportedly the case for its decision to charge Level 3 extra for Netflix traffic. It planned to achieve this under the Open Internet Order or otherwise, which could include legal action.
Level 3 hopes to find a "fair and reasonable interconnection regime that doesn't require a toll for the delivery of content to Comcast eyeballs," according to comments.
Comcast simply said it's in negotiations with Level 3 but offered no other comment.
The issue began when Level 3 began offering Netflix videos to its customers, significantly increasing traffic going through Level 3's backbone versus others. Level 3 then demanded as many as 30 new 10-gigabit Ethernet ports from Comcast for free under their existing settlement-free peering agreement, though Comcast demanded payment.
"Level 3 effectively demanded unlimited capacity at our cost," Comcast executive vice president of national engineering and technical operations, John Schanz, claimed last year.
Level 3 is currently paying for the added capacity it requested from Comcast and will continue to do so unless successful in its undertaking. [via MultiChannel]
