QUICK HITS: Oregon 69 Nevada 20
Posted by Tom Fornelli
OREGON WON. It appears that if you don't have more than a month or an offseason to prepare for the Oregon attack on offense then you don't have much of a chance to stop it. Oregon returned home after having its wings clipped by LSU last week and took out all its frustration on Nevada. And I mean all of it's frustration. The Ducks were up 34-0 in the blink of an eye, and Darron Thomas threw 5 touchdowns in the first half. The Oregon offense would finish with 603 yards, and Thomas would finish the game with 6 touchdowns and 295 yards. This is also where I point out that Thomas only completed 13 passes and 6 of them were for scores.
WHY OREGON WON. Too much speed and too much talent for Nevada to contend with. Darron Thomas wasn't the only Duck to finish with a ridiculous statline, as De'Anthony Thomas -- he of the fumble-itis last week -- finished the game with 204 all-purpose yards and 2 touchdowns. LaMichael James pitched in another 181 all-purpose yards and 3 touchdowns of his own. In fact, all three of them may have just scored again even though the game is over.
WHEN OREGON WON. When Colin Kaepernick graduated last season and went on to the NFL. Make no mistake about it, this is not the same Nevada team that beat Boise State last season, as a lot of the team's best players from that team were not on the field today. Though, to be honest, I'm not sure how much of an impact they'd have had in this game if they were.
WHAT OREGON WON. The Ducks got their groove back. The team had lost its last two games dating back to January's title game against Auburn, and the offense did not look incredibly strong in either game. Well, after Saturday's win the Ducks are flying high once again and ready to hang 60 on their next opponent.
WHAT NEVADA LOST. I'm not sure what you'd call it, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a member of this Nevada squad that will ever be able to take a peaceful stroll through a park with ducks swimming on a pond again.
THAT WAS CRAZY. Nothing too insane took place in this one, though being able to remember what it looks like when the Oregon offense is at 100% is enough to make you not believe what you're seeing.

CBSSports.com Preseason All-WAC Team
Posted by Tom Fornelli
As part of the CBSSports.com season preview, here are my choices for the Preseason All-Big 12 team.
Bryant Moniz, Senior, Hawaii
Moniz is the latest in a long line of quarterbacks to rack up insane yardage totals out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In 2010 he threw for 5,040 yards and led the country with 39 touchdown passes. He also led the nation in total offense, and "Mighty Mo" will look to do the same things in 2011 as he makes a Heisman push.
Also watch for: While Moniz gets the most attention in the WAC, don't forget about Fresno State's Derek Carr -- you may remember his older brother David -- and Idaho's Brian Reader. Those two could put up some nice numbers as well.
Robbie Rouse, Junior, Fresno State
Rouse showed a lot promise in his first two seasons with the Bulldogs, rushing for over 1,500 yards and 12 touchdowns, and he'll be looking to continue to impress in 2011. If he can, it will be a big boost to Fresno State's chances of winning the WAC.
Robert Turbin, Junior, Utah State
After missing all of the 2010 season with an injury, the only person who wants to see Robert Turbin on the football field more than Aggie fans is Turbin himself. As a sophomore Turbin started 11 games and rushed for 108 yards per game to become Utah State's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2001. Along with being a threat carrying the ball, Turbin is also dangerous catching balls out of the backfield and contributing in the passing game.
Also watch for: There are a number of good running backs in the WAC, but there are two that come immediately to mind. Nevada's Mike Ball will get plenty of carries with the Wolfpack now that Vai Taua is no longer around. Then there's Louisiana Tech's Lennon Creer.
Rishard Matthews, Senior, Nevada
I do not envy the position that Nevada quarterback Tyler Lantrip is in trying to replace Colin Kaepernick at Nevada, but he could certainly do a lot worse than having Rishard Matthews around to throw the ball to. Matthews led Nevada with 55 receptions and 873 yards last season, and will be Lantrip's go-to option in the passing game.
Royce Pollard, Senior, Hawaii
With both Greg Salas and Kealoha Pilares no longer playing wide receiver for Hawaii, somebody is going to have to step up and catch all those passes, and Pollard is the best bet. As Hawaii's third receiving option in 2010 Pollard finished the year with 64 catches, 901 yards and 7 touchdowns. Imagine the numbers he'll put up as a number one!
Also watch for: Louisiana Tech has a talented duo in Taulib Ikharo and Ahmad Paige. Of course, when it comes to receivers, just about everybody on Hawaii's depth chart is a candidate to excel this season.
Ryan Otten, Junior, San Jose State
Otten missed a lot of time for San Jose State thanks to injuries in 2010, but he came on strong at the end of the season. His three touchdown receptions came in the final two games of the season, and he still finished third on the team in touchdown catches even though he missed half the year. He'll be looking to build on the momentum he picked up after getting healthy in 2011.
Also watch for: Idaho sophomore Taylor Elmo and Utah State's Kellen Bartlett are two other tight ends capable of putting up some nice numbers this season.
Center Jeff Meads, Senior, Nevada
Meads earned the starting job at center last season, starting all 13 games, and played a key role on an offensive line that helped the Wolfpack finish third in the nation in rushing offense.
Guard Chris Barker, Junior, Nevada
Since redshirting in 2008, there hasn't been a single game that the Wolfpack guard hasn't been in the starting lineup. He's another big reason that Nevada ran the ball on everyone it came across last season.
Guard Kevin Saia, Junior, Louisiana Tech
Saia earned the starting job at left guard at the end of 2009 and held onto it during the 2010 year, helping open plenty of holes for running back Lennon Creer.
Tackle Austin Hansen, Senior, Hawaii
When you have an offense that drops back to pass as often as Hawaii's does, you're going to need a left tackle you can count on to keep your quarterback on his feet. Hansen has been just that for the Warriors, starting 22 games the last two seasons.
Tackle Tyrone Novikoff, Senior, Idaho
Novikoff has seen time on the Idaho offensive line since his freshman season, and has started 25 games the last two years at left tackle. There's a reason for it too, as the 6-foot-7 tackle is not the easiest man to get by.
Also watch for: Utah State boasts a nice pair on its line in Funaki Asisi and Philip Gapelu. There's also Stephen Warner at Louisiana Tech. New Mexico State's Sioeli Fakalata and Hawaii's Chauncey Winchester-Makainai deserve your attention for their names alone, but both are talented as well.
DE Matt Broha, Senior, Louisiana Tech
Broha is one of the most prolific pass rushers in Louisiana Tech history. His 9 sacks in 2010 moved him into third all-time on the schools sack leaders, and he'll be looking to climb to the top in 2011.
DE Travis Johnson, Junior, San Jose State
Johnson has started 17 games in his career as a Spartan, and he's only entering his third season with the team. In 2010 he led all SJSU defensive lineman with 62 tackles and led the team in sacks with 7.5. He also had 9.5 tackles for a loss.
DT Logan Harrell, Senior, Fresno State
Logan Harrell was a monster for the Bulldogs on the interior of the defensive line. Though defensive tackles aren't generally known to be pass rush specialists, that still didn't stop Harrell from leading the WAC with 10.5 sacks and racking up another 14 tackles for loss.
DT Brett Roy, Senior, Nevada
Nevada's Brett Roy also proved to be problematic for offensive lines in 2010, tallying 8 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss with the Wolfpack.
Also watch for: Hawaii's Kaniela Tuipulotu and Idaho's Michael Cosgrove were also terrors on the inside and should continue to improve this season. Also on Hawaii's defensive line is Vaughn Meatoga -- mmmmm, meat toga -- and Donte Savage lives up to his last name for New Mexico State.
Bobby Wagner, Senior, Utah State
Wagner has already been named First Team All-WAC in his career at Utah State so why not go for a third? While he has other talented players around him, at times you get the sense that Wagner is the Utah State defense, as there is rarely a play run that he isn't a part of.
Corey Paredes, Senior, Hawaii
Corey Paredes is to tackles what Hawaii wide receivers are to receptions. He makes all of them. Paredes finished with 151 tackles last season, which was the second-highest total in school history. Paredes also showed that he could possibly play some wide receiver for Hawaii if he had to, picking off 4 passes during the year.
Adrien Cole, Senior, Louisiana Tech
Cole started only 6 games for the Bulldogs in 2010, but he made the most of the opportunity given to him. He finished the year as a second-team All-WAC selection, and I feel that if he shows the effort and skill that he did while making 80 tackles in limited time last year, he'll be making the leap to the first team this season.
Also watch for: The WAC is home to quite a few linebackers worthy of your attention. Keith Smith (San Jose State), Jay Dudley (Louisiana Tech) Aaron Brown (Hawaii), Kyle Gallagher (Utah State), James-Michael Johnson (Nevada), and Robert Siavil (Idaho) are just a few.
CB Isaiah Frey, Senior, Nevada
Frey's 2010 season was good enough to have him named second team All-WAC, and he's looking to move up this year. He may be the most consistent corner in the entire conference, and finished 2010 with 14 passes broken up. He's also not afraid to stick his nose into the fray and make a tackle on a running back coming around the corner.
S Walter McClenton, Senior, Utah State
McClenton made ten starts at safety for the Aggies last seson and finished the year third on the team in tackles with 62. He also broke up 2 passes and had a sack. He's somebody I'd consider more of a run-stuffer than a coverage safety, but if he can improve on his pass defense in 2011 his stock will soar.
S Duke Ihenacho, Senior, San Jose State
Since San Jose State joined the WAC in 1996 its never had a player named first team All-WAC. This season Ihenacho will look to be the first. Unfortunately he didn't have the chance last season after missing the last ten games of the season with an injury, but he's back and healthy this year and will be a force once again.
S Phillip Thomas, Junior, Fresno State
Thomas is a safety that is loaded with potential and he flashed signs of it last season, finishing the year with 64 tackles, 9 passes broken up, 2 forced fumbles and 3 interceptions. Now, as a junior, he'll be looking to fulfill that potential even more, and I fully expect him to.
Also watch for: Given the amount of passing offenses in the WAC, safeties play an important role in slowing down offenses, and the WAC has a few who are more than capable. Players like Louisiana Tech's Chad Boyd, New Mexico State's Donyae Coleman, Richard Torres at Hawaii and Nevada's Duke Williams play key roles for their teams.

Luck's offseason project? Kaepernick
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Jim Harbaugh won't be coaching Andrew Luck this season, and unless the San Francisco 49ers undergo a stunning collapse in 2011, the future No. 1 pick won't be coached by Harbaugh again anytime soon.
But that doesn't mean Luck isn't doing his best to help out the coach who made him the presumptive 2011 Heisman favorite. How? By teaching Harbaugh's next quarterback, new 49ers second-round draft pick Colin Kaepernick, the essentials of the Harbaugh offense. As the Sacramento Bee reports:
Kaepernick and Luck met over the summer at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La. They remarked on how similar they were – tall, mobile, with big right arms – and became friends who traded text messages throughout the 2010 season.Despite not being able to meet with Harbaugh (or any Niners coaches) due to the lockout, Kaepernick is busy moving to nearby Santa Clara, where he'll have easy access to both the Niners' facilities once the lockout lifts and -- perhaps more importantly for the immediate future -- Luck's Stanford campus. (Kaepernick may also have received a playbook, which Harbaugh distributed to some Niner veterans who may have had an opportunity to share one with their new teammate.)
As discussed in this week's draft roundtable, the pistol-trained Kaepernick faces as difficult as transition to an NFL offense as any major quarterback prospect in this year's (or any recent) draft. But short of Harbaugh himself, it's hard to imagine any potential resource more helpful than a tutoe as advanced as Luck. And hey, if Kaepernick can teach Luck some of the play-fake magic he employed in the pistol, so much the better for the Cardinal.

Eye on CFB Roundtable: Draft reaches and steals
By Eye on College Football Bloggers
Each week, the Eye on CFB team convenes Voltron- style to answer a pressing question regarding the wild, wide world of college football. This week's topic:
We're not NFL scouts. But we have watched most of the players taken in last weekend's draft for the past three or four years (or, in one particular high-profile case, one year). Based on what we saw during their college careers, which players do we believe were "steals" for the team that selected them? Which were "reaches" which went earlier than they should have?Tom Fornelli: I'll start with the reach because this is an easy answer to me: the very first player taken, Cam Newton.
This is not a dig on Newton personally, or the player he was at Auburn last season. The fact of the matter is that there wasn't a single quarterback in this draft class that I felt was worth a first-round pick. Yes, there were a lot of quarterbacks in this class who were good college quarterbacks, but as we have seen through many examples before, being a good college quarterback doesn't make you an good NFL quarterback. And for me, with the first overall pick -- when I have the opportunity to pick anybody I want, and have that person help my team immediately -- Newton is not the player I'd pick. I'm not saying that I don't believe it's possible that Cam can develop into a good NFL quarterback one day, but I do feel the odds of Newton becoming a Hall of Fame NFL quarterback are pretty slim. And if I'm going to take a quarterback with the first pick of the draft, he needs to give me the impression that he has that kind of potential.
As for the steal, there were a few players who I thought were really good picks for teams in later rounds. There was Green Bay getting Randall Cobb with the final pick of the second round, Da'Quan Bowers slipping to Tampa Bay in the second, and Ahmad Black going to Tampa as well in the fifth round. The biggest steal to me of all, though, was Baltimore picking up Indiana wide receiver Tandon Doss late in the fourth round. In my opinion, Doss may turn out to be one of the most dependable receivers in what was a very deep class this season. He does not have the size and wow factor that guys like A.J. Green and Julio Jones have, nor is he a burner, but he's got great hands and he's a very polished route runner. He's the type of receiver who isn't going to end up in the Hall of Fame, but should pick up a lot of big first downs, make some plays and be dependable for a lot of years. I watch Doss, and I see a player that can be what Hines Ward has been to Pittsburgh for so many years. To get that kind of player in the fourth round is the definition of a steal.
Adam Jacobi: I think to a large degree, Tom's right. I wouldn't go so far as to say there were no first-round QBs in this class, because guys like Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker, and even Newton have all shown a great deal of potential. But let's be honest: this wasn't really a great draft class to begin with. I thought there were only 15-20 first round-caliber guys on the board. But the first round is still 32 picks, no matter what, and I don't think there were 32 better draft picks to make before you got to Newton (or any other quarterback).
That said, yes, Cam Newton was a reach. Right now, Carolina is not a team that has the tools to let a quarterback succeed. They have needs all over the place, and if all they do is give up on Jimmy Clausen after one year so they can plug in Cam Newton instead ... well, they're still a team that doesn't have the tools to let the quarterback succeed. (It's like the Detroit Lions drafting Chuck Long and Andre Ware as first-rounders 20-25 years ago. You really think their failures had nothing to do with the crappy players surrounding them?) I'm of the philosophy that the No. 1 overall pick should be spent on a player with the best odds of making a high-level contribution immediately and repeatedly. That means wide receivers and all but the most experienced, productive quarterbacks are out, as are safeties, guards and centers. That's why I would have preferred to see a guy like Texas A&M's Von Miller go first.
As for steals, I'm going to say Nick Fairley dropping all the way to Detroit, where he can be paired with Ndamukong Suh on the interior defensive line. There isn't an NFC North team left that isn't going to have to dramatically retool its blocking strategy now because of that setup, and even that might not be enough to avoid a franchise quarterback getting broken in half this season. How in the world does Fairley fall to No. 13, past Christian Ponder, the real reach of the first round? Fairley didn't dominate the NFL combine, but you know what? Freakish combine measurements don't really matter for defensive tackles. It's whether they can shed blocks reliably and repeatedly at the next level, and based on the way Fairley performed not only during the season but especially in Auburn's biggest games, he's got the ability to do that. If there's a character concern, you know what? Let the rest of the locker room take care of that. That's where the veteran teammates are supposed to step in, not the scouts.
Outside of the first round, I really like the Sam Acho pick in the fourth round by the Cardinals. At 6'2" and 260, Acho's sort of an OLB/DE tweener as size goes, and he's going to be playing OLB in the Cards' 3-4 system after lining up at end at Texas. But he's fast and disruptive, and was plenty productive with the Longhorns, so he could definitely end up being a James Harrison- type terror for the Cardinals in a year or two.
TF: Not to get too far off the subject, but Adam brought up something that drives me crazy when it comes to the NFL and the way teams draft. All too often it seems like NFL teams become enamored with how a player performs in the combine while wearing shorts and a t-shirt. That's the reason Ponder got taken so early; without linemen closing in on him, he's really good at throwing a football. But it seems like they forget about what these players did while they were actually on a football field.
For instance, look at Acho. NFL teams see his size and they're not entirely sure what to do with him. They don't seem to pay as much attention to the fact that Acho was a kid that did his job on the field at Texas and did it well. He made plays. It's why I think Tampa got a steal in Florida's Black. For the last few years, Black was one of my favorite players to watch because he just had that knack for making things happen. However, all NFL scouts seemed to see was that he didn't have top-notch speed. Nevermind the fact that he played in the SEC -- which I believe is the home of that ESS EEE SEEE SPEEEED -- and played well.
Jerry Hinnen: I agree that the draft over-rewards potential and underrates production, which is why I never thought I'd see the day when an NFL team reached for the occasionally erratic run-first quarterback out of the gimmicky option offense, and stole the rifle-armed pocket statue with a former NFL play-caller for a coach. But as the draft day fates of Colin Kaepernick and Ryan Mallett illustrate, there's a first time for everything.
Let me first say this about Kaepernick: as a college quarterback, he was under appreciated, having accumulated an incredible 10,000 yards passing and 4,000 yards rushing over his four years at Nevada, the only quarterback in FBS history to do so. In 2011, he joined Tim Tebow and Newton as the only players in FBS history to run and pass for 20 touchdowns in a season. Kaepernick was, simply, one of the most exciting, most fun, best college football players of his era.
But having watched him ever since he exploded onto the scene against Boise State in 2007's overtime classic, I can't say I ever saw him as a blue-chip NFL prospect. Kaepernick was always a substantially greater threat on the hoof than in the pocket, where his awkward throwing motion and come-and-go accuracy led to outings like his 12-for-23, 149-yard, two-interception clunker to open the 2009 season at Notre Dame, or the 14-for-26, 159-yard, four-turnover debacle at Hawaii that led to the Wolf Pack's only loss of 2011. The greatest strengths of Kaepernick's unique skill set -- his ball-fake jujitsu within the pistol, his surprising speed and agility as a ball-carrier, his ability to throw outside the pocket -- won't do much to make an already difficult transition from the pistol to an NFL offense any easier. Jim Harbaugh's right pinky knows more about quarterbacking in the NFL than I ever will, obviously, but I remain stunned Kaepernick went as a high second-rounder rather than a late-round flyer. (Which brings me to an aside in response to Tom: we can debate Newton all day, but if Kaepernick is the 36th overall pick, Newton -- in a different class athletically, more polished as a passer, proven in SEC competition -- is something akin to the negative-17th pick.)
But where Kaepernick never struck me as meant for NFL stardom (or even starterdom), Mallett is the sort of prospect whose very double-helixes probably unwind to spell out "PROFESSIONAL QUARTERBACK" under the microscope. 6'7", possessor of likely the strongest arm in college football, with his two years under former NFL head coach Bobby Petrino yielding better than 7,400 passing yards, better than 9 yards an attempt, and a 62-to-19 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Mallett couldn't have looked the part of a future NFL signal-caller any better either on the field or on paper. But of course he looked like something else in the headlines and gossip factories, thanks to those pesky drug admissions and work ethic rumors. But the facts are that Mallett was arrested just once at Arkansas (for public intoxication), was never suspended, and by all accounts enjoyed the respect of his teammates. Yes, he's a character risk, but so were plenty of players who went in the first and second rounds.
Were I in a quarterback-needy NFL team's shoes, I'd worry more about his penchant for forcing the spectacular throw when the easy one would do--but that's not the kind of worry that would have caused me to pass him up twice.
AJ: I can't say New England taking Mallett is a steal. He's on a spectrum where the high end is Drew Bledsoe and the low is Ryan Leaf, and nowhere in-between is a Super Bowl ring.
Chip Patterson: I'm not sure if it was one of the biggest "steals" of the draft, but seeing how highly rated Robert Quinn was on many boards, the Rams had to have been happy to grab him at No. 14. Quinn just got things going at North Carolina before he was suspended for his junior season during the NCAA investigation of the football program; he'd finished second in the ACC Defensive Player of the Year voting as a sophomore in 2009, just two years after battling back from brain surgery to remove a tumor. Quinn continued to impress throughout different stages of the process, but according to reports he was not cleared by several team doctors. Many teams were likely on the edge about Quinn because of the off-field activity at North Carolina, and may have just needed one more reason to bypass the budding defensive end. Battling back from brain surgery to all-conference honors seems more like a positive intangible than a negative one to me, but I'm not the one making the million dollar moves. (Yet.)
My colleagues have covered a fair share of the quarterbacks, so I'll point out the very next pick in the draft: Mike Pouncey. The Dolphins didn't want this pick, and in fact they tried desperately to trade down. Pouncey addresses a need and will likely be an immediate starter, but there's little about Pouncey's performance at Florida that makes him seem like a No. 15 pick. He was the highest drafted center since 1993, the kind of accolade that's usually placed on a uniquely talented individual. Pouncey will help the Dolphins' running game, especially with his experience as a pulling guard, but he does not stand out to me as a "unique talent." The Dolphins didn't make a huge mistake by drafting him, but it just doesn't seem like the best talent for the pick.
JH: See, I tend to think the point of a mid-first-round pick is to simply not make that "huge mistake," so I thought drafting a solid future pro (if not a future Pro Bowler) like Pouncey was a smart move. But looking back over this discussion, we're clearly all haters of one stripe or another.

Bowl Grades: Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
Posted by Adam Jacobi
Nevada shut down an anemic Boston College offense en route to a 20-13 win.
Offense: Rishard Matthews had two first-quarter scores, but the Nevada offense was uncharacteristically subdued today, largely due to three turnovers -- two interceptions and a lost fumble. Still, Nevada had to punt seven times (Nevada typically punts fewer than three times a game), and scored less than half its usual amount of points. Vai Taua was held in check, with 76 yards on 22 carries, and Colin Kaepernick had a positively pedestrian performance in this, his last game as a Wolf. 20-33 for under 200 yards and only one score usually won't cut it; Nevada was fortunate to be facing Boston College. Grade: C-
Defense: Nevada typically isn't thought of as a defensive powerhouse, but it's actually not that bad. From a total yardage standpoint, Nevada's pretty middle of the road, but the Wolf Pack only gives up about 22 points a game -- second only to Boise State in the pinball-scoreboard WAC. Tonight, Nevada was all over Boston College's rushing attack, giving up 30 yards on one rush and 34 yards on the other 24 rushes combined. The Wolf Pack secondary forced two interceptions from Chase Rettig and could have had three or four more; Rettig's passes were frequently deflected or otherwise found a defender's hands. Boston College had one drive of over 30 yards all day long. That's more than you can ask from a defense -- dropped interceptions aside. Grade: A-
Coaching: It's not exactly an indictment of Chris Ault if his players weren't amped up for today's game. BC was 7-5 in a very unimpressive ACC this season, and didn't look like a worthy opponent for the champion of a conference that boasted 10-win teams Nevada, Boise State, and Hawaii among its members. Moreover, the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl came 36 days after Nevada's last game, so there's always going to be some rust with that long of a layoff -- as was evident during this game. But Nevada looked pretty well-prepared, and Ault's play calls were fine. They were conservative, sure, but conservative wins games when leading against an inferior opponent. Really, this game wasn't nearly as close as the seven-point margin would indicate; only the turnovers kept the game "in doubt," and last we checked, Ault wasn't the one giving the ball up. Play calling is more than "you should throw a touchdown here and not an interception," after all. Grade: B
Boston College
Offense: Chase Rettig tries hard, and he tried hard for all four quarters today. Now, whenever it's necessary to mention that a player "plays hard," it's a safe assumption he just had a terrible game, and that's what happened here. Rettig's final stats were 14-34 for 121 yards and two interceptions, good for a 59.3 passer rating. Worse yet, he spent most of the game with a lower rating, and it wasn't until the fourth quarter that he stayed above three yards per pass attempt. And again, it could have been worse; Nevada should have had somewhere between three and five interceptions on the day. It didn't help that Andre Williams contributed a 30-yard rushing score and basically little else, of course, nor that the Eagle offense was painfully predictable (oh, we're getting to that). Still, this was a painfully bad offensive performance, to the point that head coach Frank Spaziani himself called it "anemic" during his halftime interview, and considering what gifts Nevada gave BC with its turnovers (an interception returned to the Nevada 6-yard line resulted in a field goal, for crying out loud), the Eagles really had no business scoring only 13 points. Grade: F
Defense: Aside from Boise State, Boston College might have the best front seven Nevada faced all year, and it was immediately evident. Nevada rushed for 114 yards, including 76 for Taua and 22 for Kaepernick. If it hadn't been for a 51-yard performance by Taua against Eastern Washington in a warmup at the beginning of the year, all three of those numbers would be season lows. All-American LB Luke Kuechly had an interception and a boatload of tackles for the Eagles, and BC frequently and reliably moved the point of attack backwards on defense when Nevada tried rushing the ball. The secondary struggled at times, though, especially on throws to the sideline. Grade: B
Coaching: Eagles fans were understandably upset with their team's play-calling, and rightfully so; it's infuriating to watch a straight-laced, run-run-third-and-long offense when the other team has a quarterback like Kaepernick and a fun system like Ault's pistol offense. The fact is, though, that Spaziani really doesn't have much talent on offense (especially with dynamic starting tailback Montel Harris still out with injury), and his defensive planning and second-half adjustments were praise-worthy. Boston College needs players on offense, plain and simple. Grade: C-
Final Grade
This practice of scheduling minor bowl games for January dates -- historically the province of only high-profile bowls -- could end today, and no college football fan would be upset. This bowl game was laughably bad, particularly when Boston College was on offense, and the fact that it comes on the eve of the national championship seems like cruel and unusual punishment. During the game, when the Kraft commercial featuring the dulcet-toned former homeless man Ted Williams finally aired, the prevailing sentiment on Twitter was that it was the unquestioned highlight of the game. It was that bad. At the very least, Boston College's defense helped get the game back to a one-possession contest, but this was the most lopsided seven-point game in recent memory. Thankfully, it's over, and real January football can be played. Grade: D- and only because it was close

CBS Bowl Bonanza: Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
Posted by Tom Fornelli
The Basics: Nevada (12-1) vs. Boston College (7-5), Jan. 9, 9 ET
Why You Should Watch: What? Do you want kids to starve or something? We're trying to fight hunger here, people. With football. Didn't you know that when you're starving, by watching football and diverting your body's attention, you keep it from eating itself. It's real science, look it up, I swear. Okay, so maybe the science is a little off, but there's still some other reasons to watch this game. First, it features a Nevada team that beat Boise State earlier this year and won the WAC. The Wolfpack aren't a bad team, and quite frankly, they're a fun team to watch. Finally, there's the fact that after this game, there's only one game left on the schedule. Get in one more college football game while you can, before the long, dark summer creeps in.
Keys to Victory for Nevada: The key to victory for Nevada is very tall and skinny, and when he runs, he reminds me of an ostrich. His name is Colin Kaepernick, and he's one of the more exciting quarterbacks in college football that a lot of people have never really had a chance to see. Just like in every game Nevada plays, how The Ostrich goes, so goes the team. And he could be facing one of his biggest tests of the season.
Kaepernick and the Wolfpack have one of the best rushing attacks in college football. In fact, they're ranked third nationally with 305.9 yards per game. Kaepernick and running back Vai Taua lead the attack. Well, in this game, they'll be going against the top rush defense in the country, as Boston College has only allowed 80 yards a game on the ground. Finding a way to be successful on the ground will be pivotal for the Wolfpack, because even though Kaepernick has improved as a passer, I'm not sure you want him being forced to drop back and throw too many times. Particularly when he's most effective throwing off of play action.
Keys to Victory for Boston College: The Eagles offense has been unreliable all season, scoring a meager 18.9 points a game. So, obviously, if Boston College is going to win this game, it can't afford to get into a shootout. Which means that the defense is going to have to stifle the Nevada ground game to have any shot.
Which means that the linebacking trio of Luke Kueckly, Mark Herzlich and Kevin Pierre-Louis will have to once again step up and keep the Eagles in this game. Of course, you can't win if you don't score points, so Boston College's offense will have to do something when it has the ball. The good news for BC is that running back Montel Harris is expected to play in this game after missing the last few weeks of the regular season with an injury. He's only 126 yards shy of becoming Boston College's all-time leading rusher. If Boston College wants to win this game, they're going to need Harris to set that mark.
The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl is like: that potato chip you dropped on the ground without even noticing. You've spent the last few hours watching television with that bag of chips in your lap. Now the bag is empty, but you're still hungry. That's when you notice the chip sitting on the floor. It's got some lint on it, but still, you wonder. "Do I have another bag of chips in the cupboard?" No, and you don't plan on going shopping for more food right now either. So are you going to eat that chip? You're not sure how long it's been sitting there, and you haven't vacuumed in a while, so who knows what's gotten on to that thing since it's been down there. But you're hungry. What do you do? Are you going to eat it?

Wisconsin QB Scott Tolzien wins Unitas Award
Posted by Adam Jacobi
The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, given annually to the nation's top senior quarterback, announced its 2010 winner today. Wisconsin signal-caller Scott Tolzien , who led the Badgers to an 11-1 record and a berth in the 2011 Rose Bowl, won the award today.
[Check out the rest of the awards and nominees here.]
Now obviously, the pool for this award is always going to be diluted on account of it being limited to senior quarterbacks, and the tendency of high-level QB prospects to declare for the draft before their senior season only further weakens the available list of candidates. Tolzien won this award over a rather tepid list of finalists: Andy Dalton , Colin Kaepernick , Christian Ponder , and Ricky Stanzi.
Or, more to the point, Tolzien wasn't up against Cam Newton , Kellen Moore , Andrew Luck , Ryan Mallett , Dan Persa , or Brandon Weeden. And that's good for Tolzien, because his statistics and the context surrounding them are totally underwhelming. While Tolzien led all seniors with a 169.80 passing efficiency and 74.8 completion percentage, he was hardly the focal point of the offense or the main engine getting it into the end zone; Tolzien recorded just 16 passing touchdowns, compared to his team's otherworldly 46 rushing touchdowns (of which Tolzien had none). Tolzien's total yardage accounted for just 42.6% of Wisconsin's yards, which compares rather unfavorably to Colin Kaepernick's 57.7%. And yes, Wisconsin is ranked higher than Nevada and was involved in more blowouts in which Tolzien's services weren't needed ... but TCU just so happens to be ranked even higher than Wisconsin, was involved in many blowouts of its own, and Dalton's total yardage was still 51.6% of his Horned Frogs' total yards. Also, keep in mind Tolzien was facing a defense with eight men in the box basically all the time, thanks to Wisconsin's thundering ground game. That's a luxury Dalton and Kaepernick didn't enjoy, and they still outperformed Tolzien in every category except passing efficiency, where Tolzien's lead is utterly marginal.
Beyond this year, though, Tolzien's numbers scarcely fit the typical profile of a Unitas Award winner. Beginning in 1995, when noted option enthusiast Tommie Frazier won the award with Nebraska, the average passing touchdown total of the Unitas winner has been 32.5 TDs ... or basically twice that of Tolzien and his 16 touchdowns. The only winner in that timespan with fewer than seven more touchdowns than Tolzien was (no surprise) Frazier, and even he threw for 17 TDs his senior year.
It just seems, like John Clay inexplicably being named a Doak Walker finalist, as if Tolzien is being given this award in lieu of a team award, since Wisconsin is ranked fourth and hooray for that. And it's not as if Tolzien had a bad season, either; his performance against the Iowa defense, especially when he drove the team down the field for a touchdown in the third quarter with only Montee Ball healthy (and Ball lining up at wideout since Nick Toon was out, no less), was really a fantastic display of passing. But by and large, there's just no way Tolzien was a more deserving recipient of this award than Dalton or Kaepernick.

Writer of the Month – December 2009
So little is known about the mysterious 'darkbill' that many have speculated that he/she may be a member of the Newsbiscuit's own inner cabal, or is the result of a secret military experiment to create a comedy writer impervious to criticism or payment. The truth is that the mystery is much closer to an enigma than that.
It was hoped that awarding the dark one, Writer of the Month, might coax her/him from the abandoned chemical works they have converted into a lair, by use of clever lighting and some throws, but to no avail. However, we do know that darkbill intends to use their mug to fuel their comedy creativity, and, weather permitting, fight crime.Click to send this story to a friend

Hardy Ambulance Base Up And Running
After months of planning and work, the Spring River Paramedic and Ambulance Service and the city of Hardy have finally accomplished a long time goal — setting up an ambulance base in Hardy to be able to respond more quickly to emergencies. The ambulance station, originally based in Ozark Acres, has moved to its new Hardy location two doors down from city hall.
The ambulance service is sharing a building with the Hardy Fire Department. The ambulance space includes garage space for two ambulances, an office, common room downstairs, two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.
Main Street Hardy Acquires Headquarters
Main Street of Hardy, the non-profit group which works to preserve and promote historic Main Street, has acquired the Biggers building on the northeast corner of Spring and Main Streets. The building is listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings.
Main Street Secretary/Treasurer Marcia Weaver said, "This is going to be our Main Street of Hardy headquarters. The plan is to utilize the beautiful upstairs for our offices, and open the main level for a community event center, so other organizations can hold their meetings, conferences or other events here." The building will allow Main Street of Hardy to begin a Bingo Night it has been planning. "Eventually, we want to put a kitchen in as well. There are already remnants of a kitchen, and we plan to use it for concessions," Weaver said.
Dig Into Reading This Summer In Hardy
This years summer reading program is called, "Dig into Reading," and will run from July 2 to July 25. Children ages 5 to 7 will meet every Tuesday during this time from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and children ages 8 – 12 will meet every Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to noon. (Note: The first 8-13 ages group will meet for the first time on July 5th Friday because of the 4th of July). You may register by calling 856-3934 or by stopping by the library.
A and P Commission Requirements Outlined
The Hardy Advertising and Promotion Commission met on Thursday, May 23 at the Main Street Of Hardy Inc., building on Main Street. With the commission only having three commissioners at this time, there was not a quorum so no motions were made. Dale Maddox, Vicki Rice and Nimmi Desai presented options for the four remaining commissioner positions.
Hardy City Council Vetoes Mayor's Veto
Hardy's Appropriation and Promotions Commission, the city organization which uses a special tax to develop and advertise events to bring in visitors, was again the main focus as the Hardy City Council met in regular session on Tuesday, May 21. A decision at the last meeting to remove two A and P members was on the agenda again, as Mayor Nina Thornton vetoed the decision. In a previous meeting, Thornton had also been removed from the commission, after a contentious discussion.
Arkansas Celebrates It's Septaquintaquinquecentennial
Okay for some that last word may be somewhat of a tongue twister..so instead we can just say it is Arkansas's 175th Birthday! What is also exciting is that the State Tourism Director has announced a List of the Top 175 Places to Visit in Arkansas in Honor of State's 175th Birthday.
This list was determined by activity and searches on Arkansas.com, and we encourage our website visitors to click and go to www.arkansas.com/175 and vote for their favorite destinations in the state. You get to vote for the ones you like and help the State determine the "best of Arkansas." You will find our city listed under the HISTORIC SITES drop down tab.
Free WiFi On Main Street Hardy – Anyone?
(Originally Published Jun 16, 2010) With the talk from City Hall about bringing WiFi to Dr. Thompson Park we thought we would repost our original story about Free Wifi.
Why even offer Free WiFi (muniwireless) along Main Street in Hardy Arkansas? The only thing that retains value is what the local community is willing to invest in terms of their interest and content. If local businesses, organizations, civic groups and schools in the local community, in short, are willing to create local content for the local network, post local ads, if they see the service as part of the fabric of the community. That is part of the idea of Free muniwirelessWiFi, because our idea – would first point all users to the Main Street Hardy Online Resource website. This then helps promote not only the town but the local merchants and community as well. Is this self serving? Not really, its self promoting of our town ! Besides, if we don't do it, no one else will.
Benefits Of Small Town America
City dwellers may look down on small town America and wonder what a small town could possibly have to offer. What is there to see and do? Why choose to live out in the middle of nowhere? But there are as many reasons, that tempt people to live in small town America rather than move to the big city.
Area and World News Here
Being a small town local news can sometimes be a little slow, not that we mind this. It's why we all love our small town in the first place. In an effort to continue to provide a better website experience, we are excited to now offer live video clips of Arkansas area news and National news right here on our website.
Now you can visit our site to check out news clips that are constantly being updated in real time. This is just another addition to our site in our effort to continue to bring to the Hardy Arkansas area a way to come together through information and technology.
Third Friday In Hardy
Just a friendly reminder that this Friday Dec. 18th is THIRD FRIDAY in Hardy. This is when many of the local shops will remain open until 8:00pm for those interested in shopping and supporting your local economy. It's getting close to Christmas so now is the time to get out and find that special gift item. Hope to see ya'll on Main Street.

A new report claims that several of Governor Cuomo's appointments to his commission for investigating political misdoings in Albany didn't follow the law themselves when it came to campaign finance disclosure.
The weekend inquiry by the New York Daily News says five of Cuomo's selections to the 25-member Moreland Commission failed to properly file campaign disclosure forms as required by law.
One commission member, Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson, didn't file three required disclosure statements when he ran for re-election in 2007.
Cuomo announced the commission's formation just last week as the answer to his highly-anticipated response for ending corruption within New York state politics.

Remember Me
Who is the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey? If you don't know them yet, learn their name now because you will be immediately overcome by their passionate and innovative sound. While their lineup and experimental free jazz sound is reminiscent of Medeski, Martin & Wood, the Fred have a style all their own. Call it "mad jazz" or even "innovative cosmic wheatgrass insanity" or whatever you want, just don't miss them the next time you see them within driving distance.
Currently (and usually) out on tour, these guys originally met up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is where they live now. Once upon a time, JFJO was an eight man band with each member on two or three instruments including horns, keys, sound effects... whatever they could get their hands on. Over the past 7 years or so, they have pared it down to a trio consisting of Brian Haas on Fender Rhodes piano, Matthew Edwards on drums, and Reed Mathis on bass. Don't you start to think that less men equals less power. The electricity created on their stage would definitely help solve the current energy crisis in our area.
It was JamBase Fan Appreciation Night at the Hotel Utah and the buzz was an extemely happy one before the show. Friends and music lovers came out to share in the groove in this intimate setting. Being a very small venue, the room was comfortably packed by the time the Fred took the stage - and take the stage they did. Right from the start the audience was shown what this band is all about. They opened the set with Lost in Las Vegas, a tune that they created on stage in, you guessed it, Vegas. Turning this spontaneous improv into a band favorite, this song demostrated the stunning bass work of Reed Mathis. He played a RIPPING guitar solo and they you look and say, "Wait! That's a BASS!" There was no holding back by keyboardist Brian Haas. This first tune left bloody fingers and broken strings in it's wake. No kidding... the very first tune.
The rest of the set continued to be a compelling look into the madness of this music as they moved on to a song called Seven Inch Six. Brian and Reed have a reciprocal relationship in the band, trading turns on the bass line and tearing the solos apart with their intensity. When it's Brian's turn on those nasty low tones, you can see the passion pouring out onto the low end of the Rhodes as he plays each note so deliberately. While this is going on, there's Reed right across the stage playing such beautifully grooving guitar riffs on that bass, using his "BAWL" pedal to create that unique sound. Matt is all the while is keeping it all together with his everchanging tempos and times, smashing all of his cymbals with power and beautiful rage. The crowd was delighted as they played two more originals, Sandy Upton and The Arrival.
It was at this point that their music made me feel like I was in a nightmare. And I mean this in the best possible way. It's the kind of nightmare that's exciting and scary, yet safe, because deep down you know it's just a dream. Like a good thriller, the music of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey is filled with suspense and intensity. To close the set, they gave us a masterful Tunjito > Singapore > Tunjito which featured more incredible bass work by Reed. This time it was an actual bass solo and one that had some of the speediest thumping I've ever seen. (Reed told me later that he had a lot of Green Tea before the set that made him a little jumpy...) While over in the other corner, Brian is unassumingly playing around with some light notes. Then, look out! There he goes again thrashing around, slapping those keys so hard and making everyone in the room wonder where the hell this guy came from! I happened to be standing right in front of his keyboards and I was beginning to worry that he was going to knock them over right on top of me. As one music fan said to me as his jaw dropped to the floor, "If John Medeski is a sorcerer, than Brian Haas is definitely a wizard!"
Nothing is more satisfying than coming out to see a band you've never seen before that impresses even the hardest of critics early in the first set. There were great feelings in the room during the set break. People were winning free posters created by our good friend, the talented Ryan Kerrigan. There was a loving vibe in the air and the fans felt the appreciation. The band even kicked down some copies of their last album for giveaway as door prizes.
The guys returned to the stage after healing wounds and fixing strings and immediately broke into No Method, an incredible tune written by Reed just last week. The crowd was getting loose now, and tables were shifted around to create a decent space for busting new moves. Pacific and Muskogee Smalls spread more smiles across the room as Brian and Reed continued their explosive top line trading. The highlight of the evening, for me, came next as the band went into a tune called The Time is Now. Reed's bass work in this tune resulted in jaws dropping to the ground as he "slapped" the hell out of his instrument for almost the entirety of the song. It was not your regular slap-slap-slap of the bass. The power and skill that went into this amazing display of madness made me stare in awe. When they finished this tune, Matt got up from behind the drums and announced to the crowd that he had to make a pit stop as he ran from the stage. I took this opportunity to ask Reed what he called that "slapping" technique. He didn't have a name for it but he let me touch the nasty blister that he had just created on the heel of his hand - *sigh*.
Being a school night, the room was beginning to thin out but the energy remained constant. The rest of the set featured the songs Critters, which is dedicated to Critters Buggin, Lost At The State Fair (there's that nightmare element again), and Roused About, a Branford Marsalis cover - the only cover song they played all night. They encored with an appropriate Three Splattered Eggs and the splattered trio thanked the audience kind heartedly and we thanked them right back. An incredible night of music was experienced by everyone in that room.
Not only are these guys first rate musicians, but they are phenomenal guys who love jazz, appreciate beauty, and perform their art in such an innovative way. They bring a very cosmic element to their combusting sound experiment. At the same time, they remain totally down-to-earth, with feet planted firmly on the ground and their heads screwed straight on. The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey move on up the coast this weekend with a show at Cafe Tomo in Arcata tonight (Friday), the Mt. Tabor Theatre in Portland on Saturday, and The Rainbow in Seattle on Sunday. Find out where they are playing near you and don't you dare miss the show!

Flora Wellman was born on August 17, 1843, in Massillon, Ohio, the youngest child in a family of five. Her father Marshall Wellman, was one of the wealthiest men in the area. Her mother, Eleanor Garrett Jones, was born in Brookfield, Ohio in 1810, the daughter of "priest Jones," a devout circuit-rider of Welsh extraction. Flora's mother died when she was a baby, and when she was four her stepmother, Julia Frederica Hurtzthal Wellman, joined the family. Flora resented her and never allowed her to become a mother to her.
Little Flora was deluged with culture, taught elocution, music, and manners. She was showered with anything money could buy and spoiled beyond belief. But at a young age she came down with a terrible fever that ruined her beauty forever. Her growth was so stunted that she never came close to reaching five feet; her hair was so badly damaged that she had to wear a wig the rest of her life. In her adult years, she wore a size-twelve child's shoe. Most significantly, the fever affected her mind, causing instability and melancholia.
At sixteen she left home to stay with her married sisters—until she wandered off on her own. Her family in Massillon never heard from her again. Nothing else is known of her life from the time she left Massillon until she appears as a boarder in the home of Mayor Yesler and his wife in Seattle. It was in the Yesler home that she met Chaney.
The thought of San Francisco life was a great temptation and certainly played a major role in her decision to move in with Chaney. She loved excitement and San Francisco was full of that. Even the horsecars that ran up Market Street toward Twin Peaks seemed to be more exciting than the ones in Seattle. San Francisco was a fun city and life was evident everywhere. Even death was exciting. Where else would a funeral procession be headed by a band? Parades were common. Few people worried about morals. It was a carnival atmosphere.
An Englishman, Joshua Norton, quietly built a fortune through his real estate office on Montgomery street in the gold-mad town. Just as quietly he lost his fortune, went mad and thought he was an emperor—Norton The First, Emperor of the United States, Mexico, and China.
He was one of the city's pet diversions and nearly everybody accepted his bogus money as genuine. Why should they put him in a mental instituion? As long as he wanted to be Emperor they would be his subjects. Gold was still king, and rumors of new bonanzas were common in 1874. The rich, especially the new rich, were building massive, showy homes on Nob Hill.
Flora looked out across the city and pronounced all this splendor good. Life here with Chaney would be fun, and the free spirit of the citizenry would be a real asset to their business.
Pregnancy shattered all of Flora's dreams. Jack was her "badge of shame" and always remained so. He was never to experience a moment of love from his mother, but he was expected to contribute to the family budget as soon as he was old enough to carry a newspaper. By the time he was ten years old he was a work beast.
Flora was not strong and birth was difficult. She had been through a lot and had little desire to live and little strength to sustain life for herself or her baby. The doctor advised a wet nurse and suggested Mrs. Alonzo Prentiss—probably one of his patients—who had recently lost her baby in childbirth. Jack was taken to Mrs. Prentiss's home at 15 Priest Street on Nob Hill. Here was real love, and Aunt Jennie never failed to love her little white child. That love was returned fully by Jack, who loved his black mother far more than his own.
Jennie Prentiss was a proud woman and especially proud of being black. Jack's mother taught him that all other races were inferior. In later years his love for Kipling led him to believe in the "white man's burden' and to have an inordinate pride in his Anglo-Saxon heritage. Aunt Jennie thought the black race was superior. Jack thought everybody should be equally proud of his own race. It was this belief that caused him to become a racial purist. Whether right or wrong, he always believed that both races were weakened by interracial marriages. In Kipling's Beyond the Pale, Jack had read "A man should, whatever happens, keep his own caste, race and breed." In Jack's own A Daughter of the Snows, Corliss says, "It's common characteristic of all peoples to consider themselves superior races—a naive, natural egoism, very healthy and very good, but none the less manifestly untrue." While Jack must be coinsidered an advocate of racial purism, it in incorrect to call him a racist in the modern sense. In many of his short stories he demonstrated his sympathy for an understanding of the oppressed of all races. In "The Mexican," "The League of the Old Men," "The Chinago," etc., he reveals his own race as brutal oppressors and portrays minorities with sympathy and understanding.
Now that the burden of the baby had been shifted to Jennie Prentiss, Flora grew stronger. Her health improved rapidly, and she was able to start giving piano lessons again. In addition to her other skills, she was an expert seamstress. Because she had no money to pay for Jack's care, Flora made some shirts for Mrs. Prentiss's husband in appreciation. This outpouring of generosity and appreciation paid double dividends—it earned Flora the heartfelt thanks of the Prentisses as well as a new husband. Mr. Prentiss worked for John London as a carpenter and told him about the wonderful shirts Flora made for him. John wanted to buy some and asked for Flora's address. Flora was an interesting woman and John was a lonely man. Flora needed a home for her baby and John needed a home for his two girls. It seemed quite natural that they should get married.

Coco & Lowe Gift Guide: Me! aka Coco
Since I'm usually the last person on earth to be done Christmas shopping, it's only fitting that my gift guide comes in just in time for all of you late shoppers.
1.Something I'd love that won't break the bank – AKA under $50.00:
KIVA! As some of you may know, for my wedding instead of gifts I asked for Kiva donations. In just over a year I have received all of my initial investments back, twice over! Kiva is an amazing micro-loaning site that hooks up entrepreneurs who are looking for tiny loans to help fund and further their operations. With as little as $25.00 you can help someone grow their business and create more opportunities for their communities. Plus, it's a loan, so you get the money back (with the option to reinvest in someone new) How cool?!
Here's a little video that explains the process way better than I just did.
How Kiva Works from Kiva on Vimeo.
2. My Beauty Must Have:
You would think I work for Mac or was the actual creator of Ruby Woo, I talk about it so much! I'm obsessed, and am yet to see it look horrid on anyone.
3. In My Dreams, This Would Be Under The Tree:
While I was at NYU in the summer I stayed in an area packed with galleries. I loved popping in and out of them and learning about the artists. It really brought me back to my painting days and had me lusting over something new and something old. A piece by Ana Teresa Fernandez and Jean Michel Basquiat's Academic Study of the Male Figure.
Now those are some big dreams…
4. My Go-Go Gadget Wish:
I think it would be cool to get all retro and see what it's like to get excited about developing pictures again. With digital cameras, little is left as a surprise – you can see your image right away – so I think this camera from Lomography would be so fun. Plus the case is insanely cool! Meant to look like a suped up sardine can.
5. The Perfect Gift To Give:
I've been an arm party reveller for awhile now, but something about the excess has gotten to me lately. That, and the fact that my left arm needs a break! I stumbled upon this stunningly simple bracelet (while I was supposed to be shopping for others) at Gaspard and couldn't leave without it. If I hadn't already bought gifts for my besties, this would be it. Simple, sweet and the perfect way to remind your friends how much you love them!

How does the bourbon industry keep a steady supply of the oak lumber. Is there a strict lumber management policy. I hope, we aren't exhausting the oak lumber supply. We can't get bourbon with out new oak. What a horror, if someday all the oak was used up.

Cape Town - A Mitchells Plain teenager was raped after being tricked into meeting a man who pretended to be a woman on Facebook, police said.
Police spokesman Frederick van Wyk said the 18-year-old agreed to meet the person in Mitchells Plain.
During the Facebook chats the teenager was under the impression it was a female.
"They had planned to meet each other at a shopping mall in Mitchells Plain but the suspect later changed the venue to the Mitchells Plain taxi rank. They met each other, got into a taxi and went to Tafelsig," Van Wyk said.
The attacker then took the girl into the bush and raped her, he said.
The suspect is aged 40 to 45, is 1.79m tall and medium build. He is a coloured male and light brown in complexion," said Van Wyk.
Anyone with information can contact investigating officer Faizel Meyer at the Mitchells Plain Police Family Violence Child Protection and Sexual Offences unit at 082 522 1066 or 021 376 1066, Crime Stop confidentially on 08600 10111 or send an SMS to Crime Line on 32211.
In April last year the so-called "Facebook rapist" Thabo Bester's 50-year jail term was reduced to 30 years on appeal.
He became known as the "Facebook rapist" after it emerged he used Facebook to lure young women.
Bester, 25, pleaded guilty to raping and robbing two women he lured to Durban with promises of modelling photo shoots. He was sentenced to 50 years by the Durban Regional Court in October 2011.
Bester was also sentenced in the Western Cape High Court to life last May for the murder of Joburg model Nomfundo Tyhulu.

The U.S. Small Business Administration announced yesterday that low-interest federal disaster loans are now available to Maui County residents and business owners who suffered losses caused by the March 11 tsunami.
The action means the SBA disaster declaration now covers Maui and Hawaii counties.
Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Businesses and private, nonprofit organizations may borrow up to $2 million.
Here are SBA assistance centers open to the public:
» Big Island: West Hawaii Civic Center, 74-5044 Ane Keohokalole Highway, Building D, Kailua-Kona. Open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., through April 21.

President Barack Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, spoke on CNN about her brother's birthplace and called the revival of the issue by Donald Trump "a shame."
Soetoro-Ng, who is traveling in New York to promote her children's book, told CNN's Piers Morgan in an interview that aired yesterday that continued questions about her brother's birthplace are "unfortunate. ... He was born in Hawaii. There's a tremendous amount of proof that has already been presented."
Trump, who says he is considering a run for president, recently revived the birther issue with his questions about Obama's birth certificate.
Officials in Hawaii have long certified Obama's birth in Honolulu, but Trump questions whether the president was born abroad and has suggested that Obama might have violated the Constitution.

The Kauai County Council voted unanimously to appoint KipuKai Kualii to fill the seat vacated by Derek Kawakami.
Kualii was sworn in yesterday. He was a candidate for Council in the past two elections, finishing ninth and eighth, respectively. The Council is composed of seven at-large members.
He brings value to the Council because of his financial background, said Council Chairman Jay Furfaro.
Kualii has a business administration degree from the University of the Pacific and serves on the board of the Hawaii Alliance for Community-Based Economic Development, Hui Kakoo Aina Hoopulapula and the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, according to his website.
He replaces Kawakami, who was recently sworn in as state representative for House District 14. That seat was vacated by Hermina Morita, who was appointed chairwoman of the Public Utilities Commission.
Maui Electric Co. said yesterday it has received reports that people claiming to be MECO employees have been contacting customers by phone and asking for personal information.
"The impersonators are telling customers that their electric bill is overdue and must be paid or electric service will be disconnected," a Maui Electric news release said. The utility said customers should not provide personal, confidential or financial information to any unidentified person, and to report any suspicious activity to MECO or the Maui Police Department.
People may call MECO's customer service desk at 871-9777 on Maui and 877-871-8461 on Molokai and Lanai.
Kamiloiki Elementary School is holding an open house for parents of incoming kindergartners and other students who will be new to the school this fall. The open house is tomorrow from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the school at 7788 Hawaii Kai Drive. For more information, call the school at 397-5800.

You can put it on the board...
CRISFIELD Last weeks game between Somerset County rivals Washington and Crisfield had an explosion of offense as the two teams combined for 38 runs.
The game, which the Jaguars won 23-15, featured four players with four hits and four players with three runs scored with Washington and Crisfield having players accomplishing the feat on each side. The top statline of the game belonged to Shelby Ennis of Washington, who scored six runs and went a perfect 4 for 4 from the plate.
Although the number of runs scored was an astonishment, Washington coach Bill Knopf said getting the win was the most important thing to him.
We had blown a game the day before against Pocomoke in a game I thought we get our win, he said. We were looking to get our W.
The two teams will meet again for a rematch April 28, this time in Princess Anne.
Sitting them down
SALISBURY In her last three games, James M. Bennett pitcher Kasey Donalds has struck out 29 batters. In two of the games, in which she held the opposition to a combined three hits, Donalds had double-digit strikeout efforts with 11 and 10 against Stephen Decatur and Parkside, respectively.
In Bennetts 8-0 loss to Mardela on Tuesday, Donalds still was able to fan eight Warriors.
A family affair
SALISBURY As many of the players on the Wicomico softball team feel a strong bond with second-year head coach Stephanie Muir, theres one person who may have an even stronger relationship with her senior catcher Celine Gonzales.
Gonzales caught Muirs younger sister Samantha when she was at Wi-Hi and Celines sister caught Stephanie when they played for the Indians in the mid-2000s.

Think Cheap Those worried about their carbon footprint should consider a budget hotel By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted May 5, 2012 7:50 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (7) (Newser) – The greenest hotel chain in the US isn't exactly the swankiest: A new report from Brighter Planet finds that Vagabond Inn is the most energy- and carbon-efficient, the Los Angeles Times reports. Next up: Red Lion Hotels, another mid-range offering, followed by the budget Red Carpet Inns and then Travelodge. Dead last of the 75 chains analyzed? The more upscale JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts. Brighter Planet considered hotel age, amenities (refrigerators in the room? a swimming pool?), room size, and other information including location, since certain parts of the country use more renewable energy.

A few thoughts:
1. Google has admitted to sharing data between the AdSense MediaBot and GoogleBot. They can find pages which contain AdSense, even it there are no inbound links.
2. The Google Toolbar sends data back to Google. If anyone running the Google Toolbar visits your page, Google learns about your page.
3. WordPress has an installation option asking whether you want your site public or private. I wonder what all that does?
4. If you made a post to the blog, WordPress might have promoted it by pinging one of the Update Services.

"Often hackers are weaving from one system to another, and it's hard for us to tell where the communication is coming from. We want to see the trap-and-trace law updated so we can trace a communication to the source, so we can serve the court order on the next carrier down the line."

Leaking oil cooler 6.6 liter 2006 duramax
I just replaced the oil cooler in my 2006 6.6 liter duramax in an express 3500 van with 325.000 miles. The coolant tank was getting contaminated with oil. Head gaskets were replaced a year ago, when they were bad the radiator was getting over-pressurized and the engine would not turn over due to coolant in the cylinders. Did a complete head job with all GM recommended parts and sealants, also had the heads resurfaced, also replaced all head bolts. Now 1 year later noticed oil was accumulating in coolant tank, engine oil was clean with no water, engine was running fine. Did a coolant pressure test 20 psi.with the oil filter removed and could not detect pressure leaking from oil filter area. I decided to replace the oil cooler assembly anyways,cost from dealer was $318 plus the gaskets for the coolant to block passageways. Job was not too difficult and this was on an express van. I did an autopsy on the old cooler and I found one of the cooler to housing oil gaskets had deteriorated allowing high pressure oil to leak into the coolant waterway surrounding the oil heat exchanger. The oil heat exchanger itself was not leaking This is a brazed plate heat exchanger very heavy gauge metal and it would seem to take alot to cause a leak in this. Based on the diagram I got from GM I would suggest an easier and cheaper fix to try first before replacing the entire cooler would be to take the top off the cooler lift out the heat exchanger, check it for leaks and if its ok clean the mating surfaces,then replace these 2 heat exchanger to cover gaskets and the cover gasket and re assemble the cooler, I believe this could even be done without removing the entire cooler assembly from the engine, this would be a pretty straight-forward simple job. The dealer I got my parts from shows all the OEM gaskets necessary are available for this job. In my diagram they would be oil heat exchanger gaskets #573-#574- the oil cooler cover gasket is #576, and if the entire oil cooler assembly has been removed the oil cooler to block oil passage o rings are #254 and #99 are needed as well as #126 and #180 gaskets for the water return to rear engine block fitting are needed. If the coolant supply pipe from the front of the engine to the oil cooler is removed an o ring #99 and an oval gasket #95 are needed.I hope this helps.

1Understand why we get frustrated. We get frustrated when some things are not happening the way we want them to, or when we are generally not happy with our life. If that's the case take a trip or holiday and during your time off. Do not think about your job or home life and you will find new energy to work and survive till the next break/holiday.
2When you are very angry, count from one to ten and you will forget about the thing you are angry about. If this does not work then you should talk to someone about the way you feel.
3When you are angry try to change your position. For example, if you are standing, sit; if you are sitting try to lay down. Changing your position helps you calm down.
4When you are angry wash your face and hands with cool water so you will get out of anger after cold water.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Whenever you are frustrated talk to some one who encourages you. Life is too short to be angry with any one because one day we all have to leave so live happily as long as you can this is the only way to be truly happy.

A concentrated form of Pure Maple Syrup whipped into an intensely sweet topping
It takes about two pounds of Pure Maple Syrup to make just one pound of our Pure Maple Butter; but is it ever worth it! The syrup is heated until it thickens then skillfully whipped into a pure maple spread with nothing added to spoil the intense, pure maple flavor. A delight for any maple lover served on toast, English muffins, cornbread, cookies, cupcakes or any place you might normally find ordinary white sugar frosting.
I grew up in upper New York State and reminder sugaring at a local farm. I now live in North Carolina and I still love this cream as do my children. Great on an english muffin and also grits!
I love pancakes, so I just spread it over a warm cake, and dig in. no other condiments required.
Delicious on toast, melted over ice cream, spread on graham crackers or just eat with a spoon!!!
We use it on toast and muffins. If you are going to buy some, buy 2 or 3 to save you from re-ordering! Trust me on this one. It even makes a spoon taste good.
This magnificent maple butter is heaven on toast, crackers (especially the Westminsters), or right out of the jar! The only problem is that it doesn't come in 10 gallon barrels. For now we'll have to do with multiple 16 oz. jars in the house at all times.
