Synopsis on goodreads.com:
Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them.
Handpicked to host the first-ever L'eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she'll have inside information about the mysterious L'eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara's blog following is about to skyrocket.
Still, Cara isn't sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L'eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn't seem more alien. She's certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.
But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class.
Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn't just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.

I visited the Glock website, they do not list a 21SF or 30SF, so I was wondering where to the specifications and dimensions for both?
I am thinking of my first 45acp and the 36 looks nice but I would like to know more on the 21SF and 30SF. The slim frame width and round capacity mostly is what I need to know.

Polycystic kidney growth implies expansion of the vasculature, suggesting that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-dependent processes play a critical role and that VEGF is a putative therapeutic target. Whether an anti-VEGF antibody improves renal cystic disease has not been determined. We administrated 5 mg/kg B20.4.1, an anti-VEGF-A antibody, or vehicle intraperitoneally twice weekly to 4-wk-old male normal (+/+) and cystic (Cy/+) Han:SPRD rats for 6 wk. Renal function, urinary protein excretion, organ/body weight ratios, cyst volume, tubular epithelial cell (TEC) proliferation, renal VEGF, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and -2α expression, renal histology, and kidney hypoxia visualized by [(18)F]fluoromisonidazole positron emission tomography were assessed. The treated compared with untreated +/+ rats had lower TEC proliferation rates, whereas Cy/+ rats receiving B20.4.1 displayed an increased proximal TEC proliferation rate, causing enhanced cyst and kidney growth. The +/+ and Cy/+ rats receiving B20.4.1 had severe renal failure and extensive glomerular damage. Proteinuria, which was highest in anti-VEGF-treated Cy/+ and lowest in untreated normal littermates, was positively correlated with renal HIF-1α and negatively correlated with VEGF expression. The untreated Cy/+ vs. +/+ rats had higher overall [(18)F]fluoromisonidazole uptake. The +/+ rats receiving B20.4.1 vs. untreated had increased [(18)F]fluoromisonidazole uptake, whereas the uptake was unchanged among treated vs. untreated Cy/+ animals. In conclusion, B20.4.1 caused an exaggerated cystic response of the proximal tubules in cystic rats and severe kidney injury that was associated with low renal VEGF and high HIF-1α levels. Anti-VEGF drug therapy may therefore not be a treatment option for polycystic kidney disease.

Double Ds vs B cup.
Despite this being the OP it was actually used as the ED for episode 1.
"Oshichau zo!! (押しちゃうぞ!!)" by AyaRuka
First Impressions: This show is a lot better than I gave it credit for. The art, the music (though I can't say that for some parts of the show), and the plot all kind of sank in easily. It wasn't too cheesy and I didn't find any parts that annoy me which is hard to come by, Rinko didn't turn out to be another Izumi from Ookamikakushi. That pretty much takes out all the negatives. There's definitely some heavy fan service but nothing as strong as Queen's Blade which I find as a plus. Other then that, my only real beef is that Yuuto is...allergic to cats, that's just fail. Okay, maybe I lied, there is one other thing that bothered me. I thought the Ayakashi had a pretty dumb introduction and overall appearance. It was mostly a black screen with floating eyes and a deep voice that expressed it's urge to kill Yuuto. They could have left that part out and have that one girl show up at the end of the episode still saying her lines and we would've been fine. The Ayakashi in this episode was terribly ugly.
The art is the the first thing you'd notice when you start watching this. The show can be pretty cute at times. The main plot of episode one is jealous female friend vs mysterious boob lady who has cat AND swordsman traits. That's where most of the humor reside. The Ayakashi seemed pretty pathetic to me, they came to kill Yuuto but they controlled his friend instead...If you have to power to control people wouldn't you want to control the one you want to kill? That's like if I wanted to kill someone I know, and instead of killing him straightforward, I proceed to kill his friend with a gun instead and physically stab the person I intended to kill in the first place at his friend's funeral. But I guess it wouldn't be fair If we killed Yuuto right off the bat, is it?
Summery: It's Yuuto's 16th birthday and Rinko and Yuuto were walking to school one day where they met a mysterious school girl that knew Yuuto. At lunch, Rinko pulls Yuuto to the roof where Yuuto's friend barged in possessed by a demon. The mysterious school girl shows up again to destroy the demon and tells Yuuto about their ancestor's pact. Rinko becomes jealous of Himari's stature and challenges her to a series of challenges which Himari sweeps her in all the challenges.
Final Thoughts: The speed and pace the show moved through was excellent this episode. The cat ears could have been better but this was okay too. The summery this time is kept simple without too much spoilers. I'd recommend watching it for full enjoyment if you need a comedy show. My rating is a 3 out of 5 samurai kitties. Hard subs suck, I really hope some other team comes along with soft subs.

The political cartoon arguably dates all the way back to the time of Martin Luther. In Lutherâs battle against the Catholic Church, he decided that it would be beneficial to enroll the support of the less educated masses. By illustrating the hypocrisies Luther saw in the Catholic Church, he was able to influence the political opinion of many of those who couldnât read.
Many years later, Benjamin Franklin created another famous political cartoon. The image was of a severed snake with the words, âJOIN, or DIEâ written on the bottom. The drawing became a popular symbol in American culture that grew to mean much more than its original use.
If we move forward another hundred years, we come across political cartoons in Harperâs Weekly. The publication printed the work of Thomas Nast. He was a man of impressive skill in illustration, but his cartoonsâ written messages were always quite blunt. He was successful, however, in bringing attention to William Tweed. Tweed was a corrupt politician and Nastâs cartoons turned the public against Tweed who was famous for saying, âStop them damned pictures. I don't care so much what the papers say about me. My constituents can't read. But, damn it, they can see pictures!"
Later, a more nuanced artist came along by the name of Joseph Keppler. Keppler brought the Austrian magazine Puck to the United States and began to publish it in English. He was known more for his wit than anything, and his illustrations served to elucidate complex political issues for Puck readers.
Since the time of these early pioneers, editorial cartoons have continued to be a big part of political discourse. They kept up with public sentiment through controversies over Native Americans, womenâs suffrage, scandal, celebration, and intrigue. Editorial cartoons have even moved out of the realm of the newspaper and magazine. You can find cartoons on critical and patriotic gifts in the United States and around the world. in the United States and around the world.

The "greenhouse effect" is often given a bad rep because it has been used in association with global warming, but the truth is we couldn't live without it.
So what Causes the Greenhouse Effect? …
- Life on earth depends on energy from the sun.
- About 30 percent of the sunlight that beams toward Earth is deflected by the outer atmosphere and scattered back into space.
- The rest reaches the planet's surface and is reflected upward again as a type of slow-moving energy called infrared radiation.
- The heat caused by infrared radiation is absorbed by "greenhouse gases" such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone and methane, which slows its escape from the atmosphere.
Although greenhouse gases make up only about 1 percent of the Earth's atmosphere, they are claimed to regulate our climate by trapping heat and holding it in a kind of warm-air blanket that surrounds the planet. However this is a minor effect for when the sun's energy is not hitting the earth with the summer intensity then less heat can be absorbed and our temperatures adjust rapidly.
The phenomenon that scientists call the "greenhouse effect," they claim:
- Without it, scientists estimate that the average temperature on Earth would be colder by approximately 30 degrees Celsius (54 degrees Fahrenheit), far too cold to sustain our current ecosystem.
This then leads me to ask, if we are attempting to reduce the Greenhouse effect, as this ridiculous regime declares is essential, aren't we only risking a shift in natures balance that may well push us to a new Ice Age?
Climate Change is the Socialist Left's best friend, not because it exists, but because it is able to divide a Nation. To spread the word of truth means firstly making people realise they have swallowed a sales pitch from Al Gore, which is not based on facts, but by what is effective politics. We must get rid of this propaganda, The Greenhouse effect is a reality as it is a naturally occurring process, however scientists tell you CO2 will end the world. This is not based on facts or evidence, but on subterfuge and misinformation. The Greenhouse effect remains a natural process, and certainly is not responsible for any warming effect that is noticeable. If this was a significant issue humans would have a far greater percentage in their bodies, because, Carbon is found in every organic molecule in the body.
Carbon is ingested in food that is eaten and breathed in as a component of air. It is found in the lungs as a waste product of respiration, ie. carbon dioxide. However this has not been a major issue for us because CO2 is a natural bi product of living and nature has in place measures to dissipate this over time.
When we really have issues is during
- Volcanic eruptions when the smoke cloud blocks out the sun and dramatically changes the temperature for a period of time.
- A 150year event which sees a large proportion of Greenland melt
- When underwater fissures cause unusual temperature rises causing some Glaciers to melt at a faster rate
- When significant Earthquakes have effected Earth's rotation ( The Newcastle Earthquake was reported as shifting the earths rotation by 6 degrees)
These are all cases of the truth about the Alarmists wild predictions that CO2 levels will decimate our Earth, and we must debunk every claim they make and find a media outlet willing to publish these truths as explained and backed up with evidence to justify our claims. The believers are being reached, we need to reach the doubters and the disbelievers so they also can see the truth and shame the so called climate Change experts out of their Ivory Towers and absolute waterfront properties.

This week marks the 37th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. For anyone old enough to remember that summer day in 1977 when news broke that Elvis had died (that excludes this examiner), it was a moment that is hard to forget. In the mid 1950s, Elvis broke onto the music scene, forever changing it. He didn't "invent" rock 'n roll, per se, but he perfected it and was the first to make it a nationwide sensation. The "King of Rock 'n Roll" may not have even been the most talented of the early rock 'n rollers (certainly Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis were better musicians), but he occupies a place no one else occupies. His sound was so original that practically every subsequent rock singer was, in some measure, derivative of him.
His was a classic "rag to riches" story, as can be easily seen by touring his birthplace in Tupelo and comparing it to Graceland in Memphis where he died. Growing up in depression era Mississippi and ending his life as one of the most successful recording artists in history naturally leads to the question—did fame change Elvis? He had friends and enemies, so it depends on to whom the question is addressed. Certainly something even those who loved him most can concede is that fame isolated him.
1. The isolation of fame
At the height of his fame, Elvis said he never could tell his true friends were. Were the people he thought were his friends really his friends, or did they merely want to be close to Elvis the celebrity? Was he loved for who he was as a person, or rather because he was such a marketable commodity? One can understand why someone in Elvis' shoes would be plagued by such insecurities.
The problem Elvis faced is even more acute today for current celebrities. We live in a celebrity culture, even more so than was the case in the 1970s. C.S. Lewis once suggested that America's obsession with celebrities could have something to do with the fact that America doesn't have a monarchy—a class of people that are the proper objects of reverence and admiration. In the absence of princes and princesses we can rightly pay homage to, we look for others to fill the void, such as film stars and singers.
2. The blessing of being "ordinary"
When Elvis wanted to go with friends to Liberty Land, Memphis' famed amusement park near his home, he had to rent the entire facility so that he and his friends could have it all to themselves. He couldn't just take an ordinary vacation with his family and expect to maintain any level of privacy.
In an age where being a celebrity is held up as an ultimate ideal, it is helpful to remember all the benefits of not being famous. All of us ordinary, non-famous people can take a stroll through our neighborhoods without fear of being mobbed by autograph seekers. We can go to the grocery store in peace. We can rest at ease that photographers aren't chasing us or our family members. We can live our lives peacefully "under the radar".
One is reminded of the Proverb which says that while the sleep of the laborer is sweet, the prosperity of the rich won't allow them to sleep. They lie awake, tossing and turning, worrying about not losing their fortune. Those who have no fortune to lose in the first place can go to sleep.
Athletes and coaches have their every move critiqued on sports talk radio. Singers and film stars have their latest work reviewed and picked apart by critics on a regular basis. Aren't you glad, if you're not famous, that you don't have to worry about turning on your radio in the afternoon and hearing someone critiquing your work day's every move, for all the nation to hear? The pressure of always being "on", never being out of the spotlight is enough to send anyone into an ocean of stress.
Elvis did immeasurable good for the landscape of American music. He did it all while maintaining a down to earth, clean cut image. He was generous to the point of being irresponsible with his money. Fame didn't appear to "go to his head", but in some ways it did go to his heart, and it broke it. It's nice to have fans, but surely Elvis and most any other celebrity would agree that, if given the choice between the two, it's better to have friends than fans.
3. Conclusion
When Christians offer up prayers on behalf of the lonely, there's a good chance that celebrities are not often on the minds of those offering up the prayers. Churches think of the homeless, orphans, and shut in widows. At least individuals in those populations are known to be lonely, and so they are on people's radars. The tragedy of the lonely celebrity is that his or her loneliness is so internalized; not only do they not have anyone to help them, they don't even have people who know that they need any help.
At the end of the day, famous people are human beings with the same basic needs as everyone else. Fame and fortune is no substitute for good, solid friendships. May God bless all of us with such friendships and may God enable us to be good friends to those in most need of friends.

This evening's latest installment of Face Off begins with 13 artists remaining. They travel to an iconic Malibu beach location, Point Dume, which was used as the backdrop for Tony Stark's seaside mansion in "Iron Man 3" and the final scene in "Planet of the Apes." But this challenge is all about the world of fantasy, in which dragons take the spotlight. Face Off decides to embrace the Dungeons & Dragons approach to dragons and, taking the shields as a cue, asks the artists to create the dragon that damaged the shield. Categorizing these dragons by breath weapon, here's how they would net out in Dungeons & Dragons:
- Charred = Red Dragon (fire)
- Corroded = Green Dragon (acid)
- Frozen = White Dragon (cold)
- Quilled = Spiked Felldrake (spikes)
- Sandblasted = Brown Dragon (sand)
- Slimed = Ooze Drake (acid)
- Tarred = Black Dragon (acid)
- Chloe (Sandblasted): A sea-horse dragon. Because sea-horses are what everyone thinks of when they think sandblasted.
- Cat (Frozen): A beautiful silhouette.
- Graham (Slimed): A lizard that vomits slime. Not filling us with confidence Graham...
- Matt (Tarred): A middle eastern/Persian-looking dragon.
- Corrine (Corroded): A treasure-hoarder who can spit acid to protect her treasure. She's using greens and purples, in line with the typical green dragon.
- Daran (Corroded): He spits acid out of his face. Not hearing a high concept with this one either.
- Tanner (Charred): A dragon with huge, massive wings.
- Rashad (Tarred): An armored, chained dragon.
- George (Charred): A knight who was messing around with the wizard's wife and the wizard turned him into a fire dragon.
- Niko (Quilled): A dragon slave who broke loose and is looking for his owner.
- Tess (Quilled): An archer who uses her own quills and feathers to create her arrows.
- Tyler (Frozen): A bird-like creature with ice as part of its bone structure.
- Daniel (Slimed): A female that is banished from the castle, waiting for her husband dragon to return. Not getting the slime part...

In late 2011, Roger and Davin began a
unique collaboration to use real-time art
creation as part of the Sunday morning
sermon. The combination of sermons and
paintings of the ensuing Covenant series
proved to engage our brains in more ways
than a sermon alone. As a congregation,
we witnessed the artistic process unfold
in concert with the story, deepening our
understanding of the gravity or significance.
Live in front of our eyes: paint dripping down
the canvas. The squishy sound of globs of
paint hitting the surface of the painting. The
human form covered with black. Seeing
hidden parts appear as protective coverings
were peeled off. More than mere illustration
of a concept, the artistic process gives action
and passion to events that happened long
ago, broadening our definition of worship.

Game Notes (PDF)
No. 18 Oregon State (2-0, 1-0 Pac-12) at Arizona (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12)
Date: Sept. 29 Time: 7 p.m. (MST)
Location: Tucson, Ariz. (Arizona Stadium - 51,811)
TV Broadcast: Pac-12 Networks TV Broadcasters: Kevin Calabro (pxp), Glenn Parker (color analyst), Ryan Nece (sideline analyst)
UA Radio: Arizona Radio Network (Flagship - 1290 AM)
UA Radio Broadcasters: Brian Jeffries (pxp), Lamont Lovett (color analyst), Dana Cooper (sideline analyst)
UA Spanish Radio: 990 AM -- Samuel Sandoval (pxp), Marco Rincon (analyst)
Satellite Radio: XM: 191 (UA radio call); Sirius 136 (UA) and 138 (OSU)
Some Game Themes: The September slate comes to a close with the second weekend of conference play ... The UA pays tribute to its state and the rich mining history by donning copper helmets. Copper has influenced architectural design on the UA campus, including the ring at the top of the McKale Center and soon the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility. Coincidentally, the Copper Game falls on Sept. 29, a number that happen's to be copper's atomic number ... The Pac-12's longest-tenured coach, Mike Riley, brings his nationally-ranked squad to the Old Pueblo to meet one of the league's newest coaches, Rich Rodriguez, whose Wildcats fell from the ranks of the unbeaten last Saturday ... Rodriguez and Co. take on the unenviable task of playing a ranked team for the second straight week and the third time in five games ... After being shut out in the conference opener, can the Cats regroup for a pivotal matchup between interdivision conference foes? For them, it's not back to the drawing board as much as it back to the practice field where the foundation continues to be laid in Rodriguez's initial campaign ... UA has had no trouble moving the football but needs to be more proficient in the redzone, a matter underscored daily in practice that has yet to come to fruition ... Can the UA passing attack, held under 300 yards for the first time in a full calendar year, find its rhythm after some hit-and-miss productivity in Eugene? And will the ground game, led by a veteran offensive line and a hard-nosed playmaker in running back Ka'Deem Carey, create the necessary balance? On the flip side, Jeff Casteel's 3-3-5 defense turned in a valiant effort against the high-flying Ducks to give the Cats every opportunity for the better part of two and a half quarters in Autzen Stadium. Now his unit faces a more traditional pro-style offensive system, which has found success through the air after two games ... Riley and the Beavers have enjoyed a run of success against the Cats over the last decade-plus, a trend UA would like to reverse under new leadership after former head coach Mike Stoops was let go following a loss to OSU last October ... Both coaches and their staffs will wear patches for the American Football Coaches' Association's (AFCA) fifth annual Coach to Cure MD effort, which aims to raise awareness and funding for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research.
Last Week: What was billed as a track meet turned into a an old fashioned defensive struggle in the first half before Oregon pulled away with relative ease in the second half to win 49-0. The shutout was certainly a surprise given the Wildcats' ability to score points early in the season, but miscues and missed opportunities, notably on five redzone trips, doomed the upset-minded Arizonans. The defense, though, gave the Cats plenty of chances, forcing the Ducks to give up the ball on four of its first five possessions. Even after Oregon went up 7-0 and seemed to be gaining momentum, the UA defense stiffened and held the Ducks to field goals on 17 and 16-play drives to close the first half. The 13-0 halftime deficit kept the Cats within reach, but Oregon's defense stole the show and forced UA to punt on its first four possessions of the second half, before three interceptions in the next four drives squashed any hope of a comeback. In the meantime, UO's electric De'Anthony Thomas was held to 97 all-purpose yards in the contest, but his 36-yard punt return set up a quick score midway through the third quarter as the Ducks began to pull away. Two interception returns for scores inflated the scoreboard tally and took some credit away from the UA defense, which did hold the Ducks to 4.3 yards per carry - a good standard against a team that entered the contest averaging 6.2 yards per tote. Arizona's swarming secondary broke up nine Oregon passes, and Jonathan McKnight snared his third interception in as many games. Jared Tevis led the way with 12 tackles, two breakups and two forced fumbles, while Sir Thomas Jackson set a career high with 10 tackles and Tra'Mayne Bondurant also added 10 stops, including a career-best 3.0 for loss. Offensively, Matt Scott struggled with a career-high three interceptions, while Ka'Deem Carey was held to 79 yards on 21 rushes. David Richards was the leading receiver, with career-highs for catches (7) and yards (50).
Against The Top 25: With a 59-38 victory over then-No. 18 Oklahoma State on Sept. 8, Arizona has defeated a ranked team in the AP Top 25 poll in eight of the last nine seasons. The 59 points and 21-point margin of victory were convincing, especially when taking into account the initial 14-0 deficit. In 137 previous games against Top 25 opponents, Arizona had topped the 50-point barrier just once - a 52-14 thrashing of No. 7 UCLA in 2005. The highest-ranked foe to go down in the last nine seasons was then-No. 2 Oregon, 34-24, in Tucson on Nov. 15, 2007. Historically, Arizona is 40-98-1 against teams ranked in the Associated Press poll.
The Coaches: Arizona - Rich Rodriguez (West Virginia '86), first year at Arizona (3-1) and 18th as a head coach overall (123-85-2). Rodriguez was introduced as the 30th head coach of the UA football program on Nov. 22, 2011. He carries Division I records of 3-0 at Arizona, 60-26 at West Virginia (2001-2007) and 15-22 at Michigan (2008-10). He began his head coaching career at Salem (W.Va.) University in 1988 and then coached at Glenville State (W.Va.) from 1990-96. Rodriguez's West Virginia teams were Big East Champions in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 while appearing in two BCS bowls, the 2005 Sugar Bowl with a victory over Georgia for an 11-1 record and a victory over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl to finish 10-2 shortly after Rodriguez had left for Michigan. Mike Riley (Alabama '75), 12th year at Oregon State (74-63) and overall as a head coach. With last Saturday's win, Riley tied Lon Stiner for the most wins as a head coach in OSU history (74). He started coaching in 1975 as a G.A. at Cal, has been a defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator and an NFL/CFL/WLAF head coach. His record against Arizona is 7-4.
2011 UA-OSU: At Oregon State on Oct. 8, UA's defense held the Beavers to some manageable production, but found some ways to self-destruct with a pair of interceptions and some special teams play that was anything but, in losing to Oregon State, 37-27. The Cats missed a mid-range field goal, had a punt blocked and returned for a score, missed an extra point, gave up a 13-yard pass by the OSU punter on 4th-and-3, fumbled a rolling kickoff for a lost ball to lead to a field goal and had a hurried rugby punt stay on UA's side of the field to lead to OSU's final score. Two Nick Foles' interceptions led to 10 OSU points, to otherwise spoil a decent outing by the senior, who completed 31 of 45 passes for 378 yards and a score. His counterpart, Sean Mannion, was more effective with two TD throws among 32 completions (267 yards), and the Beavers got a 3-for-4 effort on field goals by Trevor Romaine. Arizona, seemingly out of it at 30-6 with seven minutes left in the third period, rallied behind Foles and an interception returned for a score by Wildcat corner Shaquille Richardson to cut the lead to 30-27 with a dozen minutes left in the game. The kicking game put its stamp on the affair again, as an OSU punt bounced away from UA return man Richard Morrison and trickled for 63 yards to the UA 5 yard-line. Three incompletions later, the short rugby punt by Kyke Dugandzic deep in UA's territory set the Beavers up at the Wildcat 43 yard-line and Mannion completed five passes including a two-yard TD throw. The Cats drove the length of the field behind Foles' passing to set up a 1st-and-goal at the OSU 4 yard-line, but couldn't punch it in in four tries. Overall the Cats had a season-high four turnovers to negate 431 yards in offense, while the Beavs managed a solid 408 and overcame their two turnovers (both INTs by Richardson). OSU rushed for 128 net yards led by Jovan Stevenson with 99. Dan Buckner had eight catches for 144 yards and one score to lead the UA receiving corps.
Strive For Five: Arizona saw its five-game overall win streak snapped last Saturday at Oregon, but it now has a chance to extend its home winning streak to five games. The Wildcats defeated Louisiana-Lafayette to close out the 2011 schedule last November, and opened this season with three straight victories over Toledo, Oklahoma State and South Carolina State, respectively. A win against the nationally-ranked Beavers would give the Wildcats their longest home winning streak since reeling off six-straight over the 2008-09 seasons. That run was snapped in a 44-41 double-overtime loss to Oregon on Nov. 21, 2009.
September Starts: The opening month often times sets the tone for the rest of the season, and that has held true for the Cats in recent years. The 2011 campaign began with a 1-3 month of September en route to a 4-8 final record. In the three prior seasons, UA posted a combined 10-2 record en route to three consecutive bowl berths. This year, UA (3-1 in Sept.) tries to benefit from four home games out of five total contests in the opening month. Rich Rodriguezboasts an impressive 34-8 (.810) record in the month of September in his 11 seasons as a head coach of FBS programs at West Virginia, Michigan and now Arizona. His teams have gone to bowl games in seven of those years, including two BCS berths.
Loaded Schedule: For the second straight season, Arizona's September schedule is loaded with nationally ranked opponents. In 2011, the Wildcats played the No. 9 (Oklahoma State), No. 6 (Stanford) and No. 10 (Oregon) teams in the nation in consecutive weeks. Those teams reached finished the season in the top-7 of the Associated Press poll. Now Arizona plays a ranked team for the third time in the last four contests, a stretch that is likely to extend to four ranked foes in five weeks come this time next week. The Wildcats defeated then-No. 18 Oklahoma State, 59-38, on Sept. 8, before losing to then-No. 3 Oregon, 49-0, last Saturday. This week, UA welcomes No. 18 Oregon State to Arizona Stadium. Next week, it's a trip to current No. 8 Stanford, which plays at Washington this Thursday night.
Home Cookin': Arizona hosts eight home games at Arizona Stadium in 2012, which is undergoing one of its most significant refurbishment phases in its 84-year history. The Wildcats have not hosted eight home games in a season since 1988, when the squad won five home contests in a 7-4 campaign. Arizona is 24-11 at home since the start of 2007, including 3-0 thus far in 2012.
Red Zoned Out: It goes without saying that Arizona's Achilles heel on offense has been its inability to capitalize on the redzone. This point was no more obvious than the 0-for-5 effort at Oregon a week ago, the latest evidence of a troubling early-season trend for the Cats. In fact, the five empty trips equaled a season's-worth of red zone misses from 2008. That year, the Wildcats scored on 55-of-60 red zone opportunities, setting a school record for success (91.7 percent). This year, Arizona is just 16-for-26 (61.5 percent) in the redzone, which ranks No. 118 out of 124 teams in the FBS. More bothersome is that UA has scored touchdowns on only 12 of those chances (46.2 percent). The Cats, who were 8-for-8 (five touchdowns) in their red zone drives in an upset of Oklahoma State on Sept. 8, have failed on at least two red zone opportunities in each of their other three games. They have scored touchdowns on just 38.9 percent of their redzone drives in the non-Oklahoma State games.
Moving The Chains: No team is moving the chains more often than the Wildcats. Arizona, which set a school record with 43 first downs against South Carolina State on Sept. 15, leads all FBS teams with 127 first downs after four games. That's a clip of 32 chain-movers per game, a half-dozen first downs more per game than the 2011 Wildcat squad that set a new school record for per-game production (25.8 first downs per game).
Matt's The Man: Aside from a sub-par effort, by his standards, at Oregon, fifth-year senior quarterback Matt Scott has been the perfect fit for Rich Rodriguez's spread offense. In just four games, Scott has completed 110-of-167 pass attempts for a career-high 1,205 yards and averages 301.2 yards per game (No. 16 in FBS). Scott also ranks as Arizona's second-leading rusher with 199 yards on 47 attempts, which has helped him average 351.0 yards of total offense per game (No. 8 in FBS). Scott, who is 7-2 in his career as a starter, has twice passed for more than 300 yards and has seven touchdowns against four interceptions in 2012.
Carey the Load: Sophomore running back Ka'Deem Carey has emerged as Arizona's feature back through the first four games (all starts) of 2012. The local product from Canyon del Oro High School, who ranks No. 3 in the Pac-12 with 105.8 yards per game, has rushed for 423 yards and five touchdowns, while adding 84 yards and another touchdown in the passing game. In the season-opener, Carey broke off a career-long 73-yard burst for a touchdown en route to his first career 100-yard game (147 yards) against Toledo. He followed it up a week later against Oklahoma State with another 100-yard effort (126 yards), including 99 yards and an average of 8.3 yards per attempt in the second half alone. Carey scored four times against the Cowboys (one receiving, three rushing), setting career highs for rushing touchdowns and most total touchdowns in a game. The four scores gave him 24 points in the game, good enough to tie for third individually in school single game history. Keola Antolin (2008 at Oregon), Ronald Veal (1988, Washington State), Richard Hersey (1980, Pacific), Harry Holt (1977, UTEP) and Don Beasley (1953, Arizona State) have also had 24-point games.
Credit Is Due: Arizona's defense deserved more than a 49-0 score on its card a week ago, if only because two of the scores were allowed by the offense on pick-sixes. Even more though was the valiant effort throughout, notably in the first half when the defense did everything it could to give the Cats a chance to win. The Wildcats stopped Oregon on four of its first five possessions of the game, once on downs, twice on forced fumbles and once on a punt. Then when Oregon began to gain some momentum, the defense held strong forcing the Ducks to earn every point. Consecutive 17 and 16-play drives resulted in just six points for Oregon, and at halftime the Ducks had mustered just 13 points. In the opening half, the Wildcats limited Oregon to 4.1 yards per rush (two yards below average entering) and gave the UA offense a starting field position at near midfield at the 44-yard line. In the second half, the Cats `D' continued to harass the Ducks, forcing punts on the first two possessions. By the midpoint of the third quarter, Oregon had run 68 total plays and managed just 13 points in the game, before a long punt return and an interception return for a touchdown firmly shifted momentum on the side of Oregon. Still, UA kept the Ducks under 500 yards of offense and limited the explosive De'Anthony Thomas to under 100 all-purpose yards, including just 4.0 yards per carry.
Swarming Secondary: Arizona leads all of FBS with 33 passes defended through four games. Indeed, the back level of Jeff Casteel's 3-3-5 defense has given opposing quarterbacks fits all season long, something that may not stand out when you are giving up 247 yards through the air per game. But the Wildcats have broken up the second-most passes of any team (28), led by cornerback Shaquille Richardson's seven PBUs. Arizona also has five interceptions, including three by opposite corner Jonathan McKnight who ranks tied for first in the Pac-12 and fourth nationally. As a unit, the Wildcats are No. 3 in the Pac-12 allowing just 5.9 yards per pass attempt. They will again be put to the test against an OSU club that ranks second in passing offense (327.5 yards per game) in the conference and No. 12 in the nation.
A Few Good Men: Among the top performers of the UA defense last week were defensive backs Jared Tevis and Tra'Mayne Bondurant, along with linebacker Sir Thomas Jackson. Tevis matched a career-high with 12 tackles, forced a pair of fumbles and broke up two passes. Bondurant matched his career-high with 10 tackles, three of which went for a loss. Jackson established a new career high with 10 stops, including one for loss, and broke up a pass. The trip combined for four of the team's six tackles for loss and three of the nine passes broken up. The good news for the Cats? Tevis and Bondurant are sophomores, while Jackson is a redshirt freshman.
Nose For The Ball: Sophomore "Bandit" Jared Tevis has emerged as one of the playmakers on the UA defense. A former walk-on from nearby Canyon del Oreo high school, Tevis earned a scholarship after impressing coaches in the spring. Now Tevis ranks second on the team in three categories, including tackles (39), interceptions (2) and passes broken up (5). He has a team-leading three forced fumbles. His 39 tackles are also good enough for the No. 2 spot in the Pac-12.
McKnight's McPicks: Sophomore cornerback Jonathan McKnight has intercepted a pass in three straight games dating back to his first career pick against Oklahoma State on Sept. 8, which he returned 48 yards for a touchdown. McKnight added another interception against South Carolina State a week later (Sept. 15) and snared a third against Oregon last Saturday. He is tied with three others for the most in the Pac-12, a figure that is tied for No. 4 nationally. McKnight, who missed all of 2011 with an ACL injury, also has 17 tackles and a pass breakup in his first season as a starter.
Searching For No. 1: Junior cornerback Shaquille Richardson leads the Wildcats and the Pac-12 Conference with seven pass breakups to date, yet he is without an interception. Richardson, who has six picks in his career, would like to duplicate his efforts against the Beavers from a year ago. In the loss at Reser Stadium, Richardson picked off a pair of passes, including one for a score. The 28-yard scoring play was part of a 21-point second half rally that put Arizona within three points, before coming up short in the 37-27 defeat.
Third Down Defense: One area the Wildcats are working to improve is on third down defense. Arizona currently ranks No. 80 in the nation surrendering first downs at a 41-percent clip. The benefit of third down defense is it stops drives and gives the ball back to Matt Scott and the Wildcat offense, which will face the nation's best third down defense team this week. Oregon State has allowed just two third down conversions in two games (13.8 percent).
Local 1-2 Punch: A pair of local products - Jake Fischer and Jared Tevis - are not only leading their club but also top the Pac-12 Conference in tackles. Fischer, who prepped at Ironwood Ridge High School, leads the league with 40 tackles, including 2.5 for loss to date. Tevis, who starred at Canyon del Oro High School, is nipping at his heels with 39 tackles, good enough for No. 2 in the conference. The duo has combined for six pass breakups and five forced fumbles.
Chunk Plays: Arizona ranks No. 7 nationally in total offense, with 2,146 total yards (536.5 per game). A big reason is the Cats have moved the chains at ease, evidenced by a nation-leading 127 first downs to date. Arizona is averaging a steady 5.9 yards per play, boosted by a high volume of 10+ yards plays. In fact, the Wildcats rank No. 5 in the FBS with 81 plays that have gone for 10-plus yards through four games.
Three and Oh: Arizona opened the season 3-0 for just the 10th time since joining the Pac-10/12 Conference in 1978. The other nine seasons are: 2010, 2001, 1998, 1994, 1993, 1990, 1986, 1985 and 1983. This year's victories came against a reputable MAC program (Toledo), a nationally-ranked Big 12 foe (Oklahoma State) and an FCS opponent (South Carolina State).
Scoring In Perspective: Arizona's 139 points in four games (actually three due to a shutout) are already challenging some season totals from the past decade. Mike Stoops' first UA team scored 164 points over 11 games in 2004, one season after the Wildcats scored 181 in an 11-game 2003 campaign. To his credit, Stoops' teams steadily improved after the lowly '04 campaign and topped out at 476 points in a 13-game season in 2008. In fact, the 36.6 points per game that season was the second-highest average in program history. The 1954 gridiron squad holds the top mark, a 38.5 per game clip. Rich Rodriguez's first team is sitting at 34.8 with two-thirds of the regular season schedule still to come.
Flag Days: Arizona's opponents have seen plenty of yellow in the early stages of the 2012 season. The Wildcats lead all FBS schools in opponent penalty yards (414), a staggering number inflated by a school-record 167 yards against Oklahoma State three weeks ago and an additional 107 markers for South Carolina State. Arizona, meanwhile, has been flagged just 20 times for 168 yards (42.0 per game), among the top-50 teams for fewest penalty yards.
In A Snap: Fans are getting their money's worth of football this season watching the Wildcats play. Arizona's four football games have featured the 693 snaps, which is the second-most for any team in the country. Marshall has seen 700 snaps in its game to date and is the only team to run more offensive plays than the Wildcats. Arizona has 364 offensive plays, while the Thundering Heard has run 371. Defensively, both schools have faced 329 plays, a figured tied for second-most in the nation.
Big Play Guy: Matt Scott has found his big-play target: Austin Hill. The 6-foot-3 sophomore is UA's most versatile receiver, a guy with a mix of size, speed and route-running skills to give defenders fits whether he lines up in the slot or outside. He turned in a pair of 100-yard receiving games to open up the season, ripping the Rockets for 139 yards and a score before cutting up the Cowboys for 125 more yards. Most impressive is that Hill's 23 catches for 369 yards average out to a whopping 16.0 yards per reception, and 15 have resulted in a first down or touchdown. Hill is currently fourth in the Pac-12 averaging 92.3 receiving yards per game.
Pass To Buck: Arizona's most frequent receiving target through four games has been senior Dan Buckner, who leads the squad with 25 total receptions. The 6-foot-4 outside receiver is averaging 75.8 yards per game and a steady 21.1 yards per catch. The senior scored his first touchdown of the season against S.C. State (Sept. 15), a 27-yarder. Buckner finished his junior season fourth on the team with 42 receptions for 606 yards and two touchdowns. His career-high for receiving yards was set last October when he collected 144 receiving yards, including a 28-yard touchdown reception, at Oregon State.
Ground Game: The Cats have hit the ground running in the first year of Rich Rodriguez's offense, gaining 830 yards on 178 carries (4.7 ypc) in four games. That's 207.5 yards per game, good enough for the No. 34 spot in the national rankings and a dramatic increase from the 94.5 yards per game a season ago that finished No. 114. The Cats are benefitting from the run threat that QB Matt Scott offers. The senior signal caller is second on the team and No. 12 in the Pac-12 with 199 rushing yards to date. Sophomore running back Ka'Deem Carey has been an explosive force, with 423 yards and five scores on the ground. He holds the No. 3 spot in the Pac-12 and No. 22 position nationally with 105.8 rushing yards per game.
In The Trenches: Arizona has used the same starting offensive line in each of the first two games (LT Mickey Baucus, LG Chris Putton, C Kyle Quinn, RG Trace Biskin and RT Fabbiens Ebbele). The big fellas started combined for 55 starts a season ago, led by Quinn, Ebbele and Baucus who each started all 12 games. Backup guard/tackle Shane Zink also had three starts last year. Now the Wildcats have a total of 79 career starts among their offensive linemen. It's a group line coach Robert Anae feels good about, especially with younger players like Lene Maiava and Cayman Bundage who have significant playing time. Anae is in his second season at Arizona, after Rich Rodriguez re-hired the veteran coach from the previous staff.
Graduates: Kudos to offensive linemen Kyle Quinn and Trace Biskin, who each earned their degrees from The University of Arizona last spring. The two completed their undergraduate work in four years, and both begin their final season in the program as fifth-year seniors. Quinn, a 17-game starter at center in his career, graduated with a bachelor's degree in history and is now enrolled in graduate school, exploring a master's degree in educational leadership. Biskin, a 14-game starter at right guard, graduated with a degree in political science and is now enrolled in UA's graduate program, studying international security.
Fresh Faces: Arizona has played nine true freshmen in 2012, a tally that is among the top-20 nationally and tied for third in the Pac-12 with UCLA. Among the Wildcats' true freshmen are defenders Jamar Allah, William Parks, Anthony Lopez, Keoni Bush-Loo, Dakota Conwell, Wayne Capers Jr., Vince Miles and C.J. Dozier. Offensively, lineman Cayman Bundagehas seen playing time at guard. Colorado (13) and USC (10) are the leaders in the category in the Pac-12.
Building for the Future: The Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, scheduled to open in August 2013, marks a dynamic shift in the Arizona football culture as it will become the centerpiece of the program on the north end of Arizona Stadium. Supported by private funds, including significant leadership gifts from David and Edith Lowell and from Jeff and Sharon Stevens, the $72.3 million project will provide the Wildcats with one of the premier football facilities in the nation. The facility will be a four-floor operations center with strength training, sports-medicine, coaches offices, locker rooms, meeting rooms, equipment and facility service areas. The structure will enclose the north end of the stadium and create a full bowl with nearly 4,000 premium spectator seats, including a donor lounge with outdoor seating. Additionally, stairways and elevator towers for the concourse will connect the structure to the existing east and west stadium sections. Restrooms, amenity areas and a cafeteria will also serve the campus community. Arizona Stadium has an official capacity of 51,811 for this season, but once work is completed on the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, the venue will near the some 57,000 seats it has held in recent years.
Noon Ball: Game time and television broadcast information has been set for Arizona's game at No. 6 Stanford on Oct. 6. The contest is scheduled to begin at noon (PDT) and will be televised nationally on FOX. It will be a full seven hours earlier than any of UA's first five games, which have all begun at 7 p.m. local time or later. Arizona's one and only bye weekend will follow (Oct. 13), before the Wildcats return to action against Washington on Oct. 20 for Family Weekend.

text:
In the fall of 1958, television in the United States made a bold move into the genre of film noir. Blake Edwards created a series entitled Peter Gunn, which ran for three seasons, two on NBC and one on ABC, producing a total of 114 30-minute episodes. For the most part the actors involved in this series (with the possible exception of Herschel Bernardi) have been forgotten; and the show seems to have been overlooked even by those cable channels that specialize in "vintage" television. The one name people are likely to recognize is that of Edwards himself.
Actually, there was one other. Edwards approached a jazz musician named Henry Mancini to provide soundtracks for the television program. This was an understandable choice. Mancini had just finished scoring Orson Welles' film Touch of Evil, which was the most recent in a long list of Hollywood projects. Those who remember Peter Gunn can imagine Edwards sitting at a screening of Touch of Evil, paying more attention to the music than the action and thinking, "That's what I want for my new TV show!"
Edwards definitely knew his stuff. It would be an exaggeration to say that, by December of 1958, the Peter Gunn theme had been played by every high school band on every high school football field in the country; but it would not be that all much of an exaggeration. Mancini homed in on a sound that suggested "progressive" jazz without confusing the "mad men" television audience for Peter Gunn with any of the complexities of a Cecil Taylor or a Charles Mingus.
Furthermore, as Rick said at the end of Casablanca, Mancini's connection with Edwards turned out to be "the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Mancini became a household name, providing soundtracks and title songs for films like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, and all of the Pink Panther films. All of those achievements are now so well known that it is no wonder that the music for Peter Gunn has been forgotten.
Last week, however, harmonia mundi released a new recording of fifteen of the selections that Mancini composed for the television series. This project was the work of Steven Richman, conductor of the group called Harmonie Ensemble/New York, whose previous recordings have involved "revival" performances of some of the more elaborate compositions of George Gershwin and Duke Ellington. At the very least, Richman's efforts amount to homing in on a new direction in which to take "historically-informed performance."
However, having been in one of those high school bands on a football field in the fall of 1958, I have to confess that this recording does not revive old memories, nor does it compel me to listen particularly attentively. I suspect that a major reason is that no one (including Mancini) ever felt that this would be music for listening. It was "necessary background music" that probably contributed to the success of the television series; but it was only a part of what made the whole package successful. (On the other hand, shows like Pete Kelly's Blues, which took their jazz far more seriously, did not last very long.) The music Mancini wrote was never in the same league as, for example, Ellington's jazz arrangement of Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky's suite from his Nutcracker ballet; but it was never meant to be in that league.
At best Richman's recording provides the listener with some sort of time machine; but it transports to a time that, for the most part, has been forgotten (and not without reason).

The cocky national bird of Sri Lanka
You don't have to be a birder to identify the Sri Lankan junglefowl (whom harrumphing colonial types insist on calling the Ceylon junglefowl) with its jaunty red comb sporting a yellow center, orange-red body, iridescent bluish-black wings and tail feathers.
Perhaps fittingly, this splendid-looking rooster's scientific name (Gallus lafayetti) was chosen in honor of Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette (also known as Lafayette, the French aristocrat who served in George Washington's Continental Army).
The junglefowl seems to prefer ground cover that crackles underfoot, perhaps to be given advance notice of the approach of animals or reptiles. I've never been able to take a really sharp picture of a junglefowl; they don't stand still for very long.
This bird is edgy—always on hyper-alert, keeping a vigilant eye out for signs of danger. And rightly so, because hawks, snakes, mongooses, jackals, rusty spotted cats and jungle cats are just a few of the murderer's row of predators that consider the junglefowl a tasty morsel.
