Elise Patkotak (column, Aug. 29), another stereotypical liberal, unimaginably conflates Rep. Todd Akin's ill-conceived (no pun intended) remarks on "legitimate rape" with the entire GOP. She then projects that into the age-old science vs. religion argument, claiming that the former trumps the latter. She cites "... ancient texts written at a time when people thought the sun revolved around the earth." Of course, she doesn't say that those texts were written by scientists. She pooh-poohs the "hue and cry" over Creationism or Intelligent Design as opposed to "actual scientific theory of the universe."
Oh, really? Can she state what that is -- perhaps the discredited "Big Bang Theory"? Science has shown there is no "before" before the Big Bang, and cannot demonstrate what caused it. She claims to have been "educated enough to know the difference between science and faith" when she can't even define science. She is scared of the Republican Party "because I don't want my children to be taught that a religious myth holds the same validity as science."
If all thinking Americans used her line of nonreasoning, they would be petrified over the gaffes of Vice President Joe Biden, which are based on neither science nor religion.

Chicken Chili for the sleep deprived
Written by Pamela | 3 comments »
It's Thursday and I've just finished building a website.
Mika and Ivan both have rotten colds, although Mika seems to be handling it a lot better than Ivan.
For all the work, sickness and exercise, there's nowhere near enough sleeping going on in these parts. I hate how so many people and general life advice tell you to 'get plenty of sleep' cause I'm all like 'where is your 10 month old child who refuses to LET you sleep? Please propose to me a way that I can get more sleep AND calm my insomniac baby AND manage to maintain a peaceful and orderly home. Please someone tell me.' But they don't. So I will continue to get by on minimal sleep, operating in hands-down the most sleep deprived state I have ever been in and thank the universe that we have such awesome support and that we're generally such an awesome couple that neither of us have died from exhaustion…Yet.
And somehow I still can't help but love making lunch/dinner every night. This one is so super easy and crazy delicious. I call it 'chicken chili for the sleep deprived'. But no really, try this.
Super Easy Chicken Chili
Adapted from somewhere! But not sure where.
- 2 big onions, chopped really small
- tbsp oil of your choice
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped

- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or more if you're adventurous)
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 cans chopped tomatos with the juicy goodness
- 2 cans of beans (black, kidney, bayo…any of the above)
- a small can of sweet corn (or some freshly cooked corn kernels)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (unless you're cooking for Tess)
- Cooked chicken breasts (enough for 4 people) shredded
- Optional for serving: sour cream, avocado, corn tortillas
- Heat oil
- Add onion and garlic. Stir til soft.
- Add capsicums and stir til soft.
- Add spices and salt.
- Add chopped tomatos and bring to a boil.

New Book Reveals Global Warming Is Cause of Increasingly Extreme Weather
Conservation Scientist Publishes Book on Earth's Reaction to Rising Temperatures
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--From enormous devastating wildfires in California and Florida to tornadoes destroying entire cities in Kansas and floods submerging parts of Missouri, wild weather patterns are increasingly wreaking havoc. Scientists have determined that the U.S. and the world will experience continuing intense weather phenomenon and more severe droughts, wildfires, storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding for the foreseeable future.
"As our world population continues to grow, understanding the impact of more extreme weather and being prepared for the consequences is essential to the survival of every future generation"
Dr. Reese Halter, award-winning conservation scientist and founder of Global Forest Science, believes that severe weather patterns create not only result in loss of life, but they create physical, emotional and financial damage. In his latest book, Wild Weather – The Truth Behind Global Warming, Dr. Halter presents a compelling account about the linkages between the world's extreme weather phenomena and global warming. Wild Weather takes an interesting, and sometimes terrifying, look at some of the wildest weather in recent history, which is history's track to repeat itself and its devastation. From hurricanes, blizzards and ice storms to tornadoes, drought and fire, Dr. Halter explains the relationship between Earth's most devastating natural disasters and its changing ecosystem.
"Weather affects all aspects of human life, from where we live and where we travel, to the food and fresh water supply we need to survive," said Dr. Reese Halter, conservation scientist and author of Wild Weather – The Truth Behind Global Warming. "As our world population continues to grow, understanding the impact of more extreme weather and being prepared for the consequences is essential to the survival of every future generation," he added.
The book's timely and essential account is a resource for those who seek answers about the instability of the world's climate and its harsh effects, and want to know the real truth behind global warming. Wild Weather provides balanced and rational scientific explanations, fascinating facts and easy to understand timelines useful for all audiences while delving into an extremely controversial topic. Addressing the most common and devastating natural disasters one by one, Dr. Halter demonstrates the interrelationships between weather and global warming, and offers simple yet powerful steps everyone can take to reduce the harmful effects humans are inflicting on the planet. Wild Weather motivates readers not to fear weather changes, but to capitalize on the opportunities ahead by making a personal positive impact to manage the reality of the world's changing climate.
Wild Weather offers inquisitive minds a more in-depth understanding and explanation of extreme weather events, and hope for those wanting to make a significant difference for the well being of the planet for the future.
Published by Altitude Publishing, Wild Weather – The Truth Behind Global Warming is available for $9.95 in select bookstores across North America, or online through www.Amazon.com and www.DrReese.com.

Re: I just puked, and got very angry "Garrett on way to St. Louis"
Brad Johnson was horrible in that game - completed only 50% of his passes with three interceptions and a fumble that ended an early drive. QB rating of 45.5.
Go back and look at the play by play of that game. The Cowboys were efficient to start and scored a touchdown on their opening drive. Marion Barber achieved 45 of his 100 rushing yards as well as his only touchdown of the day on this initial drive. Felix Jones was inactive for the game.
On Dallas' subsequent drives, Johnson fumbled on third down to stall that series, threw a pick on their next series, and then Barber fumbled on the series after that. By that time, the score was 21-7 Rams.
Does he get a mulligan for not having Romo? No, but I don't think he dialed up three Johnson INTs in the gameplan either.

They just showed Garrett on NFLN, it's coming up next (Schefter).
Schefter said that on Wednesday following Garrett's interview, they had scheduled this trip on Friday to St. Louis for a final follow-up interview to bring an end to everything they want to know. He added barring any unforeseen change they will enter into negotiations with him on becoming the next coach.

Re: I just puked, and got very angry "Garrett on way to St. Louis"The Rams could be on the verge of hiring Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett as their next head coach, NFL.com's Adam Schefter reports.
Garrett reportedly was on his way to St. Louis on Friday, possibly to finalize a deal with the club. The Rams said earlier in the week that they planned to have a head coach in place by Saturday.Rams believed to be ready to name Cowboys' Jason Garrett their new coach Jason Garrett, offensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys, is expected to be named coach of the St. Louis Rams on Saturday.
Garrett was headed to St. Louis on Friday, SN contributor Mike Florio reports on his website.

Re: I just puked, and got very angry "Garrett on way to St. Louis"
The only thing Ill say, even though I am disappointed, is that I hope John Shaw was not at all involved in swaying Chip's decision on this. It has been evident he loves offensive minded coaches, I just hope he did not tamper with this search at all.
Furthermore, this does seem to go against Devaney's criteria of a "leader, hard-nosed" type coach like Spagnuolo or Frazier would be. Garrett seems like the exact opposite, IMO.

Re: I just puked, and got very angry "Garrett on way to St. Louis"
This item is two below the bit about Garrett returning to Rams Park.

Whos next Rams coach? Depends on who you ask
Posted: January 16th, 2009 | Adam Schefter | Tags: NFL coaching search, St. Louis Rams
At a time like this, information is free-flowing. Some of it is good, some not so much.
The information passed along earlier this week was that Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was the favorite in St. Louis. The information that filled my BlackBerry last night was that Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett was the favorite.
All of which probably means that Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo will wind up with the job.
However it works, the feeling on Frazier here no longer is as confident as it once was, and its an example of how fast things move at this time of year and how fluid information is.
Different men have different ideas and different agendas. Just because one thing seems obvious doesnt mean it is.
Frazier still might end up with the Rams job. But so might Garrett or Spagnuolo or even Rex Ryan if he passed up the Jets opportunity.
At a time like this, its better to stick with hard information than educated speculation.
let it play out.

Re: I just puked, and got very angry "Garrett on way to St. Louis"
Update from Jim Thomas's blog:
Jason Garrett landed in St. Louis early Friday evening with his wife Brill, and told the Post-Dispatch that he was just here for a second interview and that no job had been offered.
Minutes earlier, en route to the airport, Devaney was singing the same tune.
Its part of the interview process, Devaney insisted. He wanted to look at the facility. Were not close to moving on Jason Garrett. Im not even going to say hes the leading guy.
Take that for what its worth, but Garrett is the only finalist to visit St. Louis. And he did have his wife with him. Devaney also said that hed already made his recommendation to owner Chip Rosenbloom on who he wanted to hire as the next Rams head coach.
Devaney said he hoped to reach a decision by Monday on the next Rams head coach.
Garrett and Devaney have a lot in common. Theyre both from New Jersey. Theyre both big Bruce Springsteen fans, and theyre both represented by the same agent _ David Dunn.
-01-16-2009 #43
I've liked what Devaney has done for the Rams since coming here. He's been a part of a successful coaching search before so I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. He's in the room, and we're not, and ultimately that's where the decisions are made.
Doesn't guarantee it's going to be the right one, but I think Devaney certainly has a better chance than we fans do when it comes to evaluating and picking out a coaching candidate.
That said, if it turns out that Garrett is Shaw's recommendation, all bets are off...

Re: I just puked, and got very angry "Garrett on way to St. Louis"
Please, could you run that evidence down for us over the course of Shaw's tenure?
Could you also indicate which head coaches were offensive and which were defensive minded?
And if it's still not too much to ask, could you give us the indicators that Shaw "loves" offensive minded coaches amongst the list of HCs during his tenure?
Thank you!

Re: I just puked, and got very angry "Garrett on way to St. Louis"
My initial response to Garrett is not positive. However, since there is no way to ensure that any of the other candidates would be able to right this ship, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. We need to see improvement next season. I'm not talking playoffs or Superbowl (although I wouldn't complain), I'm talking about effort and attitude of the team. I want to see an 8-8 record (7-9 at worst). Given the division we play in, that should be do-able. Mostly I want to see effort and intensity all game, every game.That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!!

What's Just Why Go And Artificial Insemination To Spain For This Fertility Cure?
Surviving in Spain, I knew lately that we now have plenty of British couples coming around in the Costa del Sol in Spain here for artificial insemination and other fertility therapies. Our first thought was that with something so life changing why could you need to travel at all, but chattering for some lovers it turned really evident why they made a decision to happen to be Spain.Many forms of fertility solutions are extremely costly plus a pair routinely have togo through remedy more than one period, therefore it can add up to lots of income. And although several of the lovers whom I questioned for this short article said that cash was the main deciding factor, the supplementary motive is that plenty and a lot of partners experienced extremely beneficial encounters at establishments inside the Costa del Sol, Spain.In actuality it's not simply my research nevertheless the British Governmentis website for Human Fertilisation and Embryology that implies that many sufferers who travel international are extremely satisfied with the procedure and attention standard.
The site presents superior directions on which to research before generally making choices and travelling.The individuals in this region of Italy are very helpful when I first migrated here it did advise me in certain ways of the friendliness skilled in Ireland, where I'm from, so it does not shock me to hear of these constructive experiences.So if a couple are thinking about going here, one of the workable treatment plans is artificial insemination.Artificial insemination emerges when fertility is because of a delicate disturbance in sperm manufacturing, cervical causes or a alleged baffling infertility.If it's a viable cure Like this, then artificial insemination works for a couple. A sperm taste is distributed by the male spouse of the girl undergoing artificial insemination therapy. If the semen of the man is not workable subsequently artificial insemination by contributor is an option.
Whether the sperm is in the associate or a contributor, the procedure requires a sperm rinse (that is, mixing semen using a cleanup choice and centrifugation) of the test, that may expel all but the top motile sperm cells.These are then taken to the uterine cavity with a slim plastic catheter as near the time of ovulation as you can. Typically a gentle hormonal treatment can be incorporated to boost the probability of maternity, if the partneris semen can be used ASIS done in inseminations with ovulation induction.The possibility of pregnancy is all about 15% per therapy. Several attempts (3 to 6) are advised, which will boost the likelihood of dropping pregnant. This chance is somewhat greater, when donor semen is employed, about 20% per warmth of the climate along with the people, the expenses that are cheaper and superior criteria are some of reasons why a couple of may want to come here for therapy.
Moreover egg donation is legitimate below, consequently if there ought to be any issue together with the quality of the woman's eggs, than a donor could be found.In summary there are certainly a number of reasons why partners should consider likely to Spain for artificial insemination, along with additional fertility treatments. The first is it is usually way less money than back England plus some additional countries, the accomplishment costs and hospital stanards are substantial along with the therapy receiving plenty of incredibly positive reviews from those who have been already to Italy. As stated the climate assists, because it is usually incredibly pleasant.There is really a choice of fertility centers of this type for artificial insemination in Italy, both while in the massive locations and the Costa del Sol there are a few alternatives that are great. Check that accomplishment rates and the specifications are high before booking in Italy or some other overseas country, into any clinic for artificial insemination, or every other pregnancy remedy.

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi

There seems to be no stopping the USC Recruiting Express.
A day after receiving their first verbal for 2014, the Trojans added their ninth commitment for the class of '13.
Wide receiver Steven Mitchell of Mission Hills Alemany committed to USC during the school's skills camp on campus Sunday.
Mitchell becomes the second receiver and ninth overall recruit in the class of '13, which is limited to 18 players (three midyear enrollees plus 15 February signees) because of NCAA sanctions that aren't dissuading any top prospects.
Both Scout and Rivals rank Mitchell as a four-star recruit. Rivals ranks him as the No. 8 receiver and No. 63 overall player in the class of '13. Mitchell is the No. 15 receiver in Scout's rankings.
- DL Kenny Bigelow (6-3, 280, Elkton, Md.)
- QB Max Browne (6-5, 202, Sammamish, Wash.)
- S Su'a Cravens (6-1, 205, Murrieta)
- RB Justin Davis (6-1, 195, Stockton)
- DE Kylie Fitts (6-4, 260, Redlands)
- CB Chris Hawkins (6-0, 170, Rancho Cucamonga)
- RB Ty Isaac (6-2, 215, Joliet, Ill.)
- WR Eldridge Massington (6-3, 205, Mesquite, Texas)

Have seen 2 maybe 3 quickscopers. Most snipers I see use them the right way.
Explain to me what's so dumb about it? You make a comment like that without backing up your argument or even making an argument. At least have the decency to tell me why it's dumb.
This is odd. I have not seen one quickscoper yet. I have seen a few try and fail at it. If there was any plus's to this game i will say the way the snipers work is #1...I dont snipe BTW
I have seen a few. And it's not like they are running into the open, focusing on it. They are hunkered down, maybe in a more accessible spot knowing they may have to resort to that. They are far fewer here though, and just like in past games the odds of running into them often who really reek havoc on you, is so unlikely. Even in other games when you came across quite a few of them, most aren't good. There's a reason for that, and a reason there is even fewer in Ghost's. It is harder to do, so less of the already minority will be good at it.
Told you when this game came out and if it had quickscoping I would be laughing all day and here I am laughing.
So now we got ANOTHER COD game with quickscoping in it.
So you got two choices. Adapt or return the game.
I think the big issue like mentioned was when you do happen to come across one who is good, you light them up, and they can still pull up and one shot you with seemingly no flinch. One good thing about the TTK in this game being much shorter is, it makes it so much harder to do that. The window they have is way smaller.
They shouldn't be able to do that… period. I can't do it when I'm getting shot, what makes QSers so god damn privledged that they can?
on the l115 I got over 80% with around 300 kills
cuz we're awesome... stop crying sissyboy.
I've noticed you cannot rip off the long range quickscopes in this game, at least not as easy as you could in MW3.
About the same as mine. Mine's lowered slightly recently because I run thermal and there's nothing more awesome than getting a OHK from very long distances with barely any of your opponents body being available to shoot at.

Tiny Dancers: Northwestern State Demons
Speed Demons. Northwestern State is headed back to the NCAAs for the first time in seven years after knocking out Stephen F. Austin in the Southland finals.
SFA and Northwestern State split the season series. The Demons score 81 points per game, most in the NCAA, while SFA had the fewest PPG clip in the country. Offense won out in the Southland, and so Stephen F. Austin will head to the NIT as a four-loss team. Another tragedy in a low-major league.
But the good news is Northwestern State is no pushover, no undeserving bid-winner. This group is virtually unknown nationally, but it's going to look to buck convention and run its opponent for 40 minutes. The Demons average 72.9 possessions per game, the most in college basketball.
That said, they're not incredibly or reliably efficient. The offense barely cracks the KenPom.com top 100 for points per possession. Still, this will be a fun team. If you've got these unknowns in the tournament, it's good to at least know they'll want to make a carnival out of the proceedings.
The school is also owner of what I think is the most overlooked buzzer-beater in tournament history. Maybe it's because the game was buried in the afternoon, and it was playing Iowa, but this is a ridiculous shot to win:
Player to know: DeQuan Hicks. The junior forward averages 14.1 points. He's second on the team with 5.8 rebounds. The Demons can spread around the love. But if it's late and the game's close, Hicks will need to be a go-to option. Small-conference teams usually must have some guy like this as an added dynamic to pull off the upset.
The Vitals:
- Record: 23-8 overall, 15-3 in the Southland
- Most recent tournament appearance: 2006
- Jerry Palm predicts: 14 seed
- KenPom ranking: 133
- Sagarin ranking: 138
- Best wins: Louisiana Tech, Stephen F. Austin
- Worst losses: Nicholls State, Oral Roberts
- Notable stat: The Demons don't allow opponents to get the best of them once the ball is in the air. This team has its shots blocked on just 5.7 percent of its possessions. If it gets a shorter opponent that doesn't like to run as a No. 2 or No. 3 seed, then we could have a good chance at a total style clash and a really good game.

I love this tint! My favorite by far! Lasts all day!
I don't like it on my lips though. I actually found that I love wearing it on my cheeks and my eyelids!
I put this on the left side of my eyelids and white or cream on the right sides and always get compliments!
I will definitely be purchasing this week!!
So happy I found something so great!!!
I generally don't use any stains on my cheeks, since I'm so pale, but I do love them as a lip product. Overall, I was pretty impressed with this one. It goes on light and allows for build-able color. I like to leave on a little bit so that my lips have that plump and ripe quality, without make it look like I'm wearing a lip product. Overall, its perfect for everyday use and I would definitely recommend it.4

Struggle to Tally All 9/11 Dead by Anniversary
By ERIC LIPTON
Published: September 1, 2002
From the earliest hours after the the destruction of the World Trade Center, one of the most painful and complicated tasks has been determining precisely how many people died and who exactly they were.
It has been a task made difficult by the scale of the losses, the chaos that followed the collapse of the towers, the reluctance of some grieving families to give up hope, and the thousands of unfounded or duplicate claims that poured in from around the world.
Now after a year of tireless labor by a legion of police detectives, medical examiner's staff members, lawyers and even city diplomatic affairs staff members, the city is finally on the verge of establishing the final death toll. After surging as high as 6,729 in late September and dropping below 3,000 in January, the final list of victims should end up at 2,800 or just below. The remaining number of unresolved cases now stands at 78, and investigators will report on a late push on those cases by Wednesday.
The need to settle on a solid list is given urgency by the approach of the first anniversary of the attack and the city's plans to read each victim's name during the main ceremony at ground zero. If a sign were needed of just how difficult it has been to establish the number with confidence, it might be the city medical examiner office's recent experience in listing the victims. On Aug. 19, it released a list of 2,819 names, and this week it will reissue its list with additions and subtractions discovered only in the last two weeks.
At least two people who died of injuries weeks after the attack will be added; they were missed because they had been moved to hospitals out of state before they died. Six names will be deleted, because they turned out to be alive even though they had been designated as missing for almost a year. Four more names are being removed from the count after investigators concluded that the reports of their death were fraudulent. One woman will be removed because her death was recorded twice, under her married and maiden names.
The job, undertaken around the world on behalf of heartbroken families and in pursuit historical accuracy, has been like no other.
DNA kits have been sent, often by special diplomatic couriers, to more than a dozen countries, including India, China and Ecuador. Relatives or friends of possible victims have been interviewed by State Department officials in Bangladesh, Haiti and Nigeria.
Law enforcement officials from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Metropolitan Police in London and even the Pike County sheriff's office in rural Georgia have helped.
"At some point, you would stop and realize that hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of folders in cardboard boxes all around you were people that died," said Judson K. Vickers, senior counsel at the New York City Law Department, which has helped families apply for death certificates even when remains had not been found. "But the only way to get through the process was not to treat them like people, to just focus on the job that had to be done. Otherwise you would get overwhelmed."
Some of the toughest cases, not surprisingly, have concerned the victims who had the lowest profiles and stations in life, like illegal immigrants who worked in cafeterias, or one 77-year-old Bronx man who for years had shined shoes at a financial-services firm at the top of one of the towers. His name was added to the list only after survivors who were shown his photograph confirmed that he had been there that day.
Throughout the year, while the total count has been more than halved, there has been a disconcerting mixture of relief and sadness. Establishing that thousands fewer had died than first feared was gratifying, but nothing could change the sobering and indisputable fact that thousands still had died.
"A loss of one person is a terrible tragedy," said Chief Charles V. Campisi, the Police Department official who led the initial missing persons' accounting effort, "but the loss is at least diminished somewhat by the knowledge that so many people were saved and so many families have been reunited."
To date, 1,379 victims, just about half, have been confirmed dead when their remains were positively identified by the medical examiner's office, often relying on just a tiny piece of bone or other chance remnant. An additional 1,350 were declared dead exclusively as a result of a court action, after families submitted enough evidence to prove that their relatives were at the trade center when the attack occurred and that they have not been seen since.
That leaves the remaining 78 victims, who are still listed as missing, bringing the current total to 2,807 homicides, which is how they are all being entered in city records.
The 78 are a disparate group. Seventeen are firefighters, employees of Cantor Fitzgerald or other companies, and although city officials are confident that they died, their remains have not been found or their families have not applied for and received a death certificate.
Bud Kiefer's son, Michael Kiefer, who sped to the site with Ladder Company 132, is among those 17. Mr. Kiefer knows that his 25-year-old son, whom he considered his best friend, is among the dead, but he and his wife have not wanted to take the final step of applying for the death certificate, waiting, perhaps, for his remains to be identified. The medical examiner's office plans to continue the identification effort, mostly through more DNA testing, until at least early next year.

Adobe this week announced the impending release of Director 11, the first major update to the company's multimedia authoring tool in about four years. The new version expands 3D features with a new physics engine and new DirectX support and also introduces parity between JavaScript and Lingo for scripting. The new version will ship in March for Mac OS X (Intel) and Windows.
Director is, of course, the 20-year-old titan of Web authoring and development Adobe acquired when it bought out Macromedia. There had been some question as to whether Director would be continued as-was or changed radically, given the dominance of Adobe's Web authoring and development tool, Flash, also acquired from Macromedia. However, the latest release is not a radical departure from previous major releases of the software. It continues essentially along an unchanged course, focusing on highly interactive application development for gaming, electronic learning, and simulations.
Version 11 is not, however, just a port for Intel Macs and Vista. It introduces several new features and enhancements, including support for the latest 3D hardware, expanded DirectX support, and a new physics engine called the AEGIA PhysX Engine. It also incorporates enhanced integration with Flash, including support for Flash Video.
Other new features in Director 11 include:
But for developers, one of the more major advancements in version 11 is vastly expanded JavaScript support. We have not yet had a chance to test Director 11, but Adobe representatives told us that JavaScript now has parity with Lingo in the latest release--a change that was designed to alleviate the burden on developers who author in multiple environments and do not want to have to "switch gears" when coming back into Director.
Director 11 is expected to ship by the end of March for $299 for educators and $99 for students. The student edition, according to Adobe, is exactly the same as the full version except that content created in it can't be sold for profit. The retail version of Director 11 runs $999. Volume licensing is also available. Director will not be available as part of the Adobe Creative Suite in when it ships. Director 11 and Shockwave both run on Mac OS X and Windows. The Mac version of Director is not a Universal Binary. It runs only on Intel-based Macs.

The strong implication of Chris Webber's comments on this morning's Dan Patrick Show is that, if he could begin his basketball career again, he would have accepted Tom Izzo's offer to become a Michigan State Spartan:
The strong implication of Chris Webber's comments on this morning's Dan Patrick Show is that, if he could begin his basketball career again, he would have accepted Tom Izzo's offer to become a Michigan State Spartan:
Everyone knows that football, even college football, is all about the money. The SEC finally figured it out with their own TV network. Heck, even the Northwestern football players themselves figured it out.
What makes any sport America's sport? Football often requires the word "American" in front of it to differentiate it from the football that the rest of the world knows. What about an option for enterprise? In major league sports, players, coaches, and the media all make buckets of money, but not the players in college football. Until recently.
Let's take a step back. Imagine needing a source of cash flow and having some experience with the collegiate football process, but not enough skills (or motivation) to necessarily get hired anywhere as a coach or athletic director. Where is there an open source of money to be made? Well, there are those games where one team plays another of a vastly inferior caliber and division and pays that team for the right to lay the smack down. The lower tier conferences and divisions don't rake in the cash like the top tier leagues do, so they are happy to take a loss for the money before going back to playing teams their own size (North Dakota State aside). Who is to stop me from making my own football "team" made up of eleven dropouts and getting paid to get smashed to bits every single week? Everyone else is raking in the dough in this industry, why not me?
What sentiment could be more American than that?
Of course, no legitimate team would schedule such a disreputable opponent, and there must be rules against that sort of thing, right?
The frontline journalists at reddit's college football discussion group, /r/cfb, uncovered just such an enterprise. User Honestly_ posted his/her findings yesterday. The post and many of the top comments are worth reading, but I will summarize a few of the highlights here. Continue reading
When the University of Michigan's athletic department swapped out its Nike gear in exchange for a lucrative contract with Adidas, the Maize 'n' Blue lost more than a swoosh: they lost their Maize. In fact, they sold it for something far worse:
The shift from Nike to Adidas was also a huge change. For fans, seeing a different symbol on a jersey isn't anything special, but for athletes it's a big adjustment. Sizes, fit, comfort, color and durability are all crucial to being able to play your sport well. With Nike, every team had figured out what they liked and disliked, and they could make small adjustments in their gear from year to year. But Adidas specializes in soccer and football gear, so things like volleyball shoes and jerseys presented new challenges.
Nike also copyrighted the color "Maize," so Adidas actually had to make a new version of our school color, now known as "Sun" (which the volleyball team has affectionately dubbed the "highlighter" jerseys).
Terrible. I don't love what the Spartans have done aesthetically over the last decade– it's the overall fluctuations in approach, more than any one decision, that has become somewhat annoying– but Michigan State hasn't done anything to make my eyeballs burn out of my face, and that recent rosy addition has been downright pleasing.
Old news, but new to me, and now you know it too.
Last week was one of the best football weeks in recent memory, and although our Tuesday Afternoon Inside Linebacker weekly feature has fallen by the wayside due to worldly obligations, this week and the week ahead deserve note.
The Lions started things off on Thanksgiving with a wonderful win over Green Bay. It was Detroit's first win on Turkey Day in nine years, and it was the first time Matt Stafford beat the Pack. The Lions also avenged the career game Matt Flynn had the only previous time he quarterbacked Green Bay against Detroit.
Brendan and I were in the Big House for Michigan's surprise one-point loss to Ohio State, and I made it out of Ann Arbor in time to see Georgia come back to defeat Georgia Tech in overtime, note Vandy's comeback win over Wake Forest, and watch maybe the greatest one second of college football in Auburn's regulation toppling of Alabama in the Iron Bowl.
Records of note:
Bowl outlook:
The BCS national championship: Right now, Florida State is set to play Ohio State, but that could change after this weekend. Each team needs to beat its conference championship opponent, Duke and Michigan State (more on basketball later!) respectively, of course. Auburn's also in the mix here. If the Eagles/Tigers/Plainsmen beat Missouri in the SEC championship game, one-loss/SEC champ Auburn could leap an undefeated Ohio State. But you don't have to take my word for it. Just ask Florida head coach Urban Meyer:
There are a lot of people making a lot of decisions out there, but this is a big one. We're going to tell a group of young men, who just went 12-1 in a most difficult schedule against six ranked opponents, that they don't have a chance to play for a national championship? I'm going to need help with that one.
That was back in 2006, though, and in 2013, Meyer finds himself singing a decidedly different tune as the head coach of Ohio State. 2006 Urban Meyer got his way, something 2013 Urban Meyer ought to keep in mind this week.

ALDLAND will have a presence on the ground at this weekend's Ohio State- Michigan game in Ann Arbor. According to widespread commercials promoting this game, the annual meeting between these two rivals is known as "The Game." I have attended this game many times over the past twenty or so years, and I've never heard it called that. Unless Brendan, between gulps of Four Loko, corrects me on Saturday morning, I'm going to chalk this labeling up as a media marketing concoction.
Outside of pride, this game does not have a lot of meaning for either team. Ohio State is undefeated but has only an outside shot at the BCS championship game, and has already secured a spot in the Big Ten championship game against Michigan State. Michigan is bowl-eligible at 7-4, but they have a losing conference record and will be home dogs on Saturday.
In year three of the Brady Hoke era at Michigan, things are slipping a bit. His teams have yet to beat Michigan State and Ohio State in the same season, and it looks like the Wolverines could go 0-2 against their conference rivals this year. Michigan was 11-2 with an exciting Sugar Bowl win in Hoke's maiden maize and blue voyage, but they were 8-5 last year, losing to South Carolina in the Outback Bowl. There's still room– with zero margin for error– to improve on that mark this year, but even if they do, it may not erase the feeling that there's a noticeable lack of spark with this Michigan team. Negative forty-eight yards of rushing against Michigan State says a lot about the Spartan defense, but it says something about the Michigan offense too, and although at least one critic has pointed a finger of blame at Hoke, most Wolverine fans have been calling for the head of offensive coordinator Al Borges. (Text message from a die-hard Michigan fan after the Nebraska loss: "I can never actually root for Michigan to lose, but I hate the offensive coordinator enough that I think a few more losses are in Michigan's best interest if it gets the OC fired.")
Still, the feel in Ann Arbor under Hoke is decidedly different than it was under the coach Hoke replaced, Rich Rodriguez. Should it be, though? Is there a chance Michigan fans are missing Rich Rod?
Ohio State is about a two-touchdown favorite on the road this weekend, and although that feels about right as I write this on Tuesday morning, my prediction is that they will not cover on Saturday.
Unless Michigan has beefed up their mobile reception capabilities, expect in-game coverage from Brendan and I to be somewhat limited, but you can always track us @ALDLANDia.
After an extended break the ALDLAND podcast is back and better than ever. College basketball is finally on the menu, as is discussion of a big trade in the MLB. And as always, listen for ALDLAND's college football picks of the week.

ALDLAND's weekly football roundup is back, taking a look at all the highs and lows of the latest round of football action.
College Football
- Last week, I highlighted LSU-UGA as the game of the week, and ESPN agreed with me, siting College Gameday in Athens. I wasn't able to watch, but their prediction segment featured two special guests, UGA graduate Bubba Watson and Louisiana native Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame. (The Robertsons have legitimate football qualifications: Willie's father, Phil, started at quarterback ahead of Terry Bradshaw at Louisiana Tech.)
- In anticipation of the LSU-UGA game, a secret-recipe cheesy bean dip was made. So much was made, in fact, that it lasted much longer than the game, although not quite as long as Georgia coach Mark Richt spent kissing his wife following a win over Kentucky.
The games:
- LSU-Georgia was a thriller. Georgia continues to lose important players to injury, but it doesn't seem to slow them down. This week, star running back Todd Gurley sprained his ankle in the second quarter, but backup Keith Marshall filled in and had a career day. In the end, the Dwags outgunned the Tigers 44-41 and are in the driver's seat on the road to the SEC championship game in Atlanta.
- I also thought Ole Miss-Alabama would be a good game, but it was not. The Rebels limited Alabama's scoring early, but they were unable to do any scoring of their own, which is an easy-bake recipe for a loss. Ole Miss 0, Alabama 25. Continue reading
ALDLAND's weekly football review returns after an infamous fall wedding weekend. Bear with us as we attempt to piece together the happenings of the last few days.
College Football
- After the Game of the Century of the Season of the Week last week in College Station, everybody predicted a scheduling letdown this week. Sports predictions have become (always were?) completely useless and devoid of meaning, but once in a while, the wisdom of the crowd gets it right. Throwing out expired food? No, actually. A soft slate of week-four matchups? For the most part, yes.
The games — That 70s Show:
- Clemson opened the week of play by getting punchy on Thursday night in a closer-than-it-should-have-been win over North Carolina State. So far as I can tell, the Tigers have played only fellow Carolinians to this point in the season. A check of their schedule confirms this, and the trend will continue this weekend. (EDIT: Except for that little game against UGA in week one.) Clemson 26, North Carolina State 14.
- A number of teams posted gaudy scores and spreads. Since they already had their fun, they're all getting grouped in this one paragraph. Ohio State 76, FAMU 0. Louisville 72, FIU 0. Miami 77, Savannah State 7. Washington 56, Idaho State 0. Baylor 70, Louisiana-Monroe 7 (that one's actually a little surprising). Florida State 54, Bethune-Cook 6. Wisconsin 41, Purdue 10. UCLA 59, New Mexico State 13. Texas A&M 42, SMU 13. And others.
Marcus and I are back to discuss the games we previewed last week, as well as talk about some of the exciting games on this weekend's slate. Coaches on the hot seat and how hot those seats might be is another topic of discussion, as is our new favorite musical artist, "Mathers."

Price Inertia and Inflation: Evidence and Theoretical Rationale
In this paper we look at some empiricel evidence of and theoretical rationale for price inflexibility in the face of a decrease in short run demand in the Western-type industrialized economies. The empirical evidence suggests that price sluggishness is pervasive but varies across markets, industries and countries. There are different reasons for the price inertia. The response of firms to uncertainty, the cost of adjusting prices, the contents of the long- term contracts in the goods and input markets, the extent and variability of excess demand may differ among firms and industries. The structure of the industry, the degree of heterogeneity of the products in a market, the network of input-output relationship among industries, the nature of international competition, the process of forming expectations about the future, shocks from monetary and fiscal policies and input price shocks, all interact and create the ever changing environment of the firms. In these changing circumstances there are incentives for prices to be sluggish and thus arises the dilemma of achieving price stability at a high cost of unemployment. The ability of governments to achieve stable prices is probably endogenous in the system and may depend on a threshold rate of inflation. A number of policy options are discussed to address the issue of price inertia which would reduce the adjustment burden of anti-inflationary policies.
