KotOR widescreen scaling (1366x768)
View Single Post
Join Date

I have the same problem as you. I've got a laptop with Nvidia Optimus (Nvidia GT 540m + Intel HD 3000) and a 1366x768 screen. Optimus apparently can't do resolution downscaling, which annoys me to no end.
I seem to recall making a thread about the problem, but can't seem to find it now. Odd.
Anyway, I've found a solution to this banal problem through the use of a program called
Flawless Widescreen
This program is awesome. It's made for making games run properly at "super-widescreen resolutions", but It works for 1366x768 as well (and presumable any other widescreen resolution).
It has a specially made plugin for KotOR
, that automatically makes the game run at your desired resolution, while dynamically creating properly scaled menu backgrounds and HUD item placements. Movies are scaled properly, and most impressively, *dialogue is displayed correctly*. It does all this through memory manipulation, so there's no need to patch the game's exe like with UniWS (this also means that it works fine with the Steam version of the game, i.e. no need for cracks). You don't even need to do any swkotor.ini editing - FWS does it all for you.
So here's how to do it:
Install Flawless Widescreen + KotOR plugin; run KotOR with FWS in the background; change resolution in-game to 1366x768; play.
Full steps:
Show spoiler
(hidden content -
1. Obtain Flawless Widescreen
2. Extract the archive to its own folder
3. Run the program (confirm Windows UAC)
4. You will be greeted with a splash screen asking if you want to change any settings. You don't need to do this, so click "No" (or click "Yes" if you want to see the settings. But don't change anything in there)
5. In the list found on the left side of the program window, find the entry "Star Wars: KOTOR"; click on it
6. Flawless Widescreen will now download and activate its KotOR plugin.
7. Now, on the information pane on the right, you'll see that FWS requires you to have run the game at least once before using FWS. Make sure you've done that.
8. With FWS running, run KotOR like you normally do.
9. Go into the options and change the screen resolution to the new options of 1366x768
10. You'll see that scaled menu backgrounds have been created, but they're not quite right. Ignore it for now.
11. Load up a saved game/start a new one. Holy Mother of Resolutions! The GUI is perfect! Dialogue works!
12. Close the game and start it again. On my setup, I get an appcrash if I start KotOR too soon after closing it, so wait a few seconds if you have to.
13. The menu backgrounds are properly done now. KotOR is now officially working perfectly @ 1366x768.
Here are some screenshots demonstrating it working:
FWS's developers deserve a medal. They've provided a solution to a problem that's being plaguing laptop KotOR users for years. If I wasn't a broke university student, I'd donate these guys some money right now.
mfw I read the Revan novel
it is not a cry of joy.

Tired of the same run-of-the-mill shore excursions? Holland America Line -- in an effort to cater to more seasoned, independent travelers -- has announced that passengers on its European cruises can now customize their own shore excursions under the new "Signature Collection" program. The program has been introduced in 46 European ports, with plans to expand it to each of the line's 280 ports worldwide.
The "Signature Collection" program provides travelers with a private vehicle with unlimited mileage, a driver and English-speaking guide. Passengers are free to tailor their shore activities at their own pace, and according to their own interest and tastes. The excursions are available in half-day (four hour) and full-day (eight hour) segments, for groups of two to eight. Prices range from $300 to $3,000, depending on the location, type of vehicle, and length of the excursion.
The "Signature Collection" shore excursion program is an extension of HAL's $225 million "Signature of Excellence" enhancement program launched in 2003.

INDEPENDENCE — Mike Brown is out and David Griffin is in on a full-time basis.
The Cavaliers fired Brown as head coach Monday after just one year of his second stint on the job. Brown, whose team went a disappointing 33-49 and failed to make the playoffs, had a five-year, $20 million contract. The first four years were guaranteed.
Griffin had been the team's acting general manager since the Feb. 6 firing of Chris Grant, who along with owner Dan Gilbert quickly rehired Brown when Byron Scott was fired as coach after the 2012-13 season. The Cavs went 17-16 after Griffin took over as GM.
Griffin will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. today at Cleveland Clinic Courts. The major topics will be Brown's successor and whether the Cavs may still hire someone in the front office, perhaps even to work over Griffin.
Possible coaching candidates include Mark Jackson, who was recently fired by Golden State, Mike D'Antoni, who coached Phoenix while Griffin was in the Suns' front office, Steve Kerr, who served as Phoenix's president of basketball operations and GM for part of Griffin's tenure with the Suns, and Alvin Gentry, who was also head coach of the Suns while Griffin was in Phoenix.
Kevin Ollie, who led Connecticut to the national championship, former Memphis head coach Lionel Hollins and Chicago assistant Adrian Griffin have also been mentioned, as have a number of others.
Whoever succeeds Brown, who previously coached the Cavs from 2005-10, will be the team's third coach in three seasons. Making matters more difficult for Cleveland is that Golden State, Utah, New York, Minnesota, Detroit and the Los Angeles Lakers also currently have coaching vacancies.
"This is a very tough business," Gilbert said in a press release issued by the team. "It pains all of us here that we needed to make the difficult decision of releasing Mike Brown. Mike worked hard over this last season to move our team in the right direction. Although there was some progress from our finish over the few prior seasons, we believe we need to head in a different direction. We wish Mike and his family nothing but the best."
The elephant in the room in all this, of course, is LeBron James' impending free agency, though there's a chance the former Cavs forward will not opt out of his contract with the Miami Heat this summer.
"It's just a tough business," James said when asked about Brown's firing prior to the Heat's playoff game in Brooklyn. "I mean, that's all it is. It's a tough business and, you know, Mike Brown got the short end of a tough business."
Brown had a 272-138 record in his first stint in Cleveland, including leading the Cavs to the 2007 NBA Finals, where they were swept by San Antonio. Cleveland won 66 and 61 games his final two regular seasons, but he was fired after the Cavs lost to Boston in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals.
Gilbert said that decision was a mistake when he rehired Brown last year, but that didn't prevent the owner from firing his coach for a second time.
Under Brown, the 2013-14 Cavs improved their win total by nine from the previous season, but more was expected, including a playoff berth.
The team's field goal percentage allowed went from last in the league under Scott to 12th under Brown, but the offense often seemed out of sync, with late-game inbounds plays frequently meeting with horrific results. Brown also seemed to have trouble gaining the respect of his players, who almost always said the right things but frequently failed to follow through on the court.
It's not known how big of a role, if any, David Griffin played in the decision to fire Brown.
"Our ownership support provides the highest level of resources, flexibility and commitment to aggressively do whatever we believe needs to be done in order to win," Griffin said in the press release. "There is no harder worker or better human being in our league than (Brown). This was not an easy decision. We thank Mike for his efforts and wish him, his wife Carolyn and their family only the best."
Griffin joined the Cavs as vice president of basketball operations in September 2010. Prior to that, he spent 17 seasons with the Suns, the last three as senior vice president of basketball operations.
The Cavs have not said whether they are looking to add another person to the front office, but Gilbert noted the organization "interviewed several strong candidates for the GM position, including Griff."
"We chose David as our GM because we believe he is the best person to lead our franchise at this critical time and into the future," Gilbert said. "David brings over two decades of experience. He knows the ins and outs of this league as well as anyone and is also an outstanding talent evaluator.
"More importantly, he is a general manager who is aligned with our culture and philosophy, which is the foundation of how we do business. David is not only passionate about his own job, but also cares deeply about the success of everyone around him. His presence alone creates an infectious, positive environment with players, coaches, front office people and even our fan base."
Griffin favors an up-tempo game similar to the one used by the Suns — most notably by D'Antoni — when he was with Phoenix. That type of game also seems to suit players like Kyrie Irving, who can sign a contract extension this summer, and Dion Waiters. It was the approach Jackson used with Golden State as well.
Griffin will also have to deal with the impending free agency of starting center Spencer Hawes and small forward Luol Deng. The Cavs will likely go to decent lengths to keep Hawes, but will pursue Deng only if the price is right.
Cleveland will have the ninth pick in the NBA Draft if the May 20 lottery goes according to form — the Cavs have a 6.1 percent chance of picking in the top three — and could have $26 million in salary cap space, with the potential to generate more.
"Our ownership's commitment to this franchise and the fans of Cleveland is absolute," Griffin said. "I feel that commitment not only by the resources they make available, but also with their tireless passion for delivering a championship-caliber team.
"Our entire organization reflects that passion and commitment. I am humbled and honored to be put in position to aggressively work with them, all of our front office staff and anyone who can contribute to achieving that vision."

Gratitude and a 'hmmmm' moment...
Saturday, April 20, 2013
Gratitude first, because as my wonderful Dad used to say to me 'give me the good news first, then I'll deal with the other stuff'. Ok, here goes...
So thankful for having been Sparking for a month now without any major (or even minor) binges, feelings of deprivation, helplessness, hopelessness, or thoughts of just giving up because it's all too hard. All these things have been with me whenever I tried to lose weight and improve my health previously. Kudos to Spark People for having made my transformation into healthy eating so simple, so effort free, and so enjoyable. Thanks to all my fellow team members and fellow Sparkies for their encouragement, suggestions and comments. It is great to be part of such a positive community.
I am a far happier, healthier and 4kg. lighter person than I was pre-Spark, and I am now a dedicated 'Sparkie'. Ok, so I didn't lose weight last week... I have managed to alter my body shape, and to firm up some of the previously seldom used muscles. I've also learned that exercise doesn't have to be the traditional kind, that there are so many other ways of having fun and enjoying myself, rather than torturing both my mind and body. I'm sure that if my dogs could talk, they would be thanking Spark People for the walks we now take, and all enjoy.
I am also incredibly thankful to a particular Spark friend who, in the introduction on her Spark Page, wrote about her spiritual beliefs as 'the Love of my Life, my Safe Place and the my Favorite Person to spend time with.' I read those words and realized that my life has somehow gradually crowded out God, and the time I spend with Him. It took about three weeks for me to accept that this was the reason I wasn't as content with my life as I used to be, so I've taken steps to remedy it, which is why I haven't been as active online as I was previously.
I know I have written before about the things Spark People has taught me, reminded me of, motivated me to do, but never in my wildest dreams, would I have imagined it would have brought me back to God!
And now for the 'hmmm' moment. A friend and I went out of town shopping the other day, and I was telling her I needed new underwear in a smaller size when we were discussing what we needed to buy. She looked at me and said 'yes, I had noticed you had lost weight', for which I was about to thank her. That was till she followed it up with 'because your face is starting to look saggy, almost like you have too much skin now the fat is disappearing from underneath it'. She followed it up with 'I think you looked much better before, really.'
Did I feel hurt? No. Did I tell her I was healthier and happier than I'd been in a long time and more mobile than I have been in the past 6 months? No. I burst out laughing! I know she meant well, that she would be the last person to even accidentally hurt my feelings. It was that moment when I thought - I'm enjoying being healthy, and if that means I'm going to gain a few saggy bits, then so be it, because the rest of me is feeling great!
That was the moment when I realized that somehow my entire outlook on 'dieting' has changed completely. I am probably eating more now than before I began Sparking, but now the foods are not filled with sugar, unhealthy fats, more artificial ingredients than natural ones, and so on. My attitude to food has changed, not just for a while, but for all time, God willing.

It is the best feeling, and the 'Safest Place' in the world ever.
Lots and lots of love, my Friend.

Aug 17, 2013
DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois football team held its final extended scrimmage of the 2013 preseason Saturday at Huskie Stadium as coaches focused in on getting a long look at the team's younger players in order to determine how each can contribute to the team going forward.
The Huskies scrimmaged for approximately 90 minutes with Head Coach Rod Carey estimating the team was just short of his goal of running 130 plays between the first and second teams and "freshmen" groups. NIU also kicked field goals and extra points, and ran its punting and punt coverage units. Carey called Saturday's session "invaluable" to the Huskies' younger players, who received a large number of the plays.
"Today's scrimmage is invaluable to the young guys because it's one of the last times this camp that we'll have extended time to really play football," Carey said. "We'll have situational scrimmages going forward but it will be more limited during the course of practice. The young guys have a chance during these scrimmages to get a lot of reps. We're going to start to make the transition to coming together as a team. We'll have good competition but it has to be in the context of the team."
While the defense seemed to have the best of the offense for much of the scrimmage as NIU did not score in "regular" play situations, Carey liked the way the Huskies worked.
"I thought we had guys straining, working hard," he said. "We pushed them harder than we did a week ago, went a little longer. We didn't have the emotion, but they worked hard. We're not ready to play a game yet."
Carey was complimentary of the Huskie linebackers and running backs, not just for their play Saturday, but for their progress throughout camp. For the second straight week, the defense came up with a goal line stand during red zone reps.
"Boomer [Mays], Santa (Michael Santacaterina), Rock (Rasheen Lemon) and JB (Jamaal Bass) are all playing very solid," Carey said. "It's great because we've got four guys competing hard for three (starting) spots."
"Overall, the backs ran well," Carey said. "I am so proud of and pleased with Cameron Stingily. He's got a ways to go, but the way he's come into this camp and worked has shown. Keith Harris has played well too, he just has to be healthy. I'm very happy with James Spencer; I saw some things from him and from Alex Morrow today."
With Lynch, much of the starting offensive line and players like receiver Da'Ron Brown (Chicago, Ill./Morgan Park HS) taking extended series' off, Matt McIntosh (Evansville, Ind./Reitz HS) and Drew Hare (O'Fallon, Mo./Fort Zumwalt West HS) continued to battle for the No. 2 quarterback spot, and young receivers like Malik Mitchell (Alpharetta, Ga./Milton HS) and Chad Beebe (Aurora, Ill./Aurora Christian HS) were put in the spotlight. Newly-converted wide receiver Matt Williams (Geneva, Ill./Geneva HS) provided a highlight with a 22-yard touchdown grab in red zone periods, while receiver Angelo Sebastiano (Coconut Creek, Fla./North Broward Prep) and tight end Tim Semisch (Omaha, Neb./Millard North HS) also hauled in TD receptions in situational play.
Carey said practices like Saturday's allows not only the players, but the new coaching staff, to learn how to work in game situations.
"We're a new staff, so operationally we ran the last two scrimmages as we would on game day," Carey said. "We have to get better as a coaching staff too. I thought today was better than last week."
Poll Note: Northern Illinois earned 16 points in the Associated Press' 2013 preseason poll released Saturday, to take the No. 35 spot. The 16 points is the most the Huskies have ever recorded in an AP Preseason Poll; NIU received at least one preseason point for the third consecutive year. A year go, Northern Illinois did not exceed the 16-point mark until Week 11 (Nov. 4)
Northern Illinois opens the season at Iowa in two weeks, on Saturday, Aug. 31 at 2:30 p.m. The game will be televised on BTN. The Huskies' home opener is Saturday, Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. when NIU puts its nation-leading 21-game on-campus winning streak on the line versus Eastern Illinois.
Season and single game tickets for Northern Illinois' 2013 home schedule are on sale now. The Huskieland Plan, which includes a ticket to all five home games (sections A and G) and $50 in Doggie Dollars good for parking and/or concessions, is just $50.

The past two seasons have not been kind to Brian Joubert. Plagued by injuries and inconsistent performances, many expected the French star to hang up his skates following the 2012 World Figure Skating Championships.
But Joubert's electric performances in Nice proved that he is far from done.
For the first time in his 11-year career on the senior circuit, Joubert did not medal at an international championship this season. But he considers his fourth-place finish at the 2012 Worlds in Nice more valuable than any medal.
"For the first time in years I skated two clean programs at a major competition," he said. "I was very proud of what I achieved, especially after what I went through."

Eastern Germany : 'Land grabbing' pushes up prices
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 30 January 2014 18:25
(January 26, 2014) Land prices in eastern Germany are rising at dizzying rates and local farmers feel they are being squeezed out by foreign investors in a phenomenon known as "land grabbing".
The price of a hectare of land has risen by 54 percent between 2009 and 2012 in Brandenburg state and by 79 percent in neighbouring Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, even if prices remain below those in the west of the country -- at least for now.
The rural east of Germany has vast swathes of arable land inherited from communist times, when farming was in the hands of huge collectives, known as LPGs.
But today the land is increasingly being snapped up by foreign investors, often with no background or interest in farming, pushing prices up and forcing out locals.
France : Everyone to Nantes on February 22nd

Call out for a march from the anti-airport groups.
The french state and those defending the project of the airport of Notre Dame des Landes threaten to come back in force all over again. They presume they will begin the destruction of protected species and the construction of the airport in the coming months. A new wave of evictions could arise. We won't let is happen! The construction will not begin! The movement on the ground is even more alive than last autumn of 2012, the connections are stronger, the fields more cultivated and the houses more numerous. Even more, over 200 local committees have been created, in solidarity with the struggle and to bring the fight to where they live, spreading it everywhere.
We call on all the anti-airport forces to join for the march in Nantes on February 22nd to show them that it's no way that they touch to this countryside.

Mozambique's ProSavana programme – "Open your eyes, you'll lose your land," warns a Brazilian 'sem-terra'
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 24 October 2013 20:51
One of the central figures of the Brazilian 'sem-terra' (landless) movement, Augusto Juncal, was in Maputo as a 'heavyweight reinforcement' for the campaign by Mozambican small-scale farmers against ProSavana. Juncal left the warning: "Open your eyes, you'll lose the land".
ProSavana, an agricultural development programme by the governments of Mozambique, Brazil and Japan – which is still in the initial stage of implementation in the centre and north of Mozambique – is being challenged by the União Nacional dos Camponeses de Moçambique (UNAC - National Union of Small-scale Farmers of Mozambique), the largest organisation of its type in the country.

How to Add Back E&O Reserves to a Cash Flow Statement
Original post by Kathy Adams McIntosh of Demand Media
E&O reserves represent inventory owned by a company that it can no longer sell. These include excessive quantities of inventory and obsolete inventory. These include products the company ordered too much of and items which no longer meet customer needs. When the company transfers inventory to E&O reserves, it records a decrease in the net inventory value. This decrease in inventory appears on the cash flow statement in the operating activities section as an increase in cash. However, transferring the inventory to the E&O reserve does not result in an increase in cash. The E&O reserve balance needs to be added back in order to accurately reflect the cash transactions of the company.
Step 1
Read the current balance sheet. Locate the balance of E&O reserves. Locate the net inventory value reported on the balance sheet.
Step 2
Add the E&O reserve balance to the net inventory value. This equals the total inventory value at the end of the period.
Step 3
Read the prior period balance sheet. Locate the balance of E&O reserves. Locate the net inventory value reported on the prior period balance sheet.
Step 4
Add the prior period E&O reserve balance to the prior period net inventory value. This equals the total inventory value at the end of the previous period.
Step 5
Subtract the total inventory value for the previous period from the total inventory value for the current period. If the change in inventory is positive, the total inventory value increased. If the change in inventory is negative, the total inventory value decreased.
Step 6
Add a negative change in inventory to the operating activities section of the cash flow statement. Subtract a positive change in inventory to the operating activities section of the cash flow statement.
Tips & Warnings
- Review the level of inventory held as E&O reserves periodically. E&O inventory costs the company money to store. Identify potential markets for the E&O inventory, such as foreign markets or discount outlets. Arrange to sell this inventory and reduce costs associated with owning this inventory.
- Some industries experience higher amounts of E&O inventory than others. Technology industries experience rapid changes which make older products obsolete faster. Some buyers purchase too much inventory, creating excess.

Congressman Moran Press Release About Letter to Pentagon December 22, 2009
For Immediate Release
Contact: Emily Blout
December 22, 2009
202.225.4376 / 202.494.2798 (c)
Moran Leads 90+ Members in Call for Monthly 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Data
Request for Military Discharge Info Comes Ahead of Possible Congressional Action
Washington, D.C., December 22, 2009 - Today, Congressman Jim Moran issued a letter to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, signed by 96 Members of Congress, requesting monthly reports detailing the rank, time in service and branch of U.S. service members discharged under the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" (DADT) policy in 2009.
"This policy is putting our national security at risk and wastes tens of millions of taxpayer dollars every year in unrecoverable recruiting and training expenditures." said Moran. "Until we repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' it will continue to impose needless costs, reduce the number of specialists trained to combat urgent national security threats, demoralize the estimated 65,000 gay and lesbian active-duty service members, and deter many more good men and women from service."
Passed by Congress in 1993, "Don't Ask Don't Tell" (DADT) mandates the discharge of openly gay, lesbian, and bisexual service members. Since enactment, more than 13,500 service people have been discharged at a cost of over $400 million.
The letter penned by Moran requests the Office of the Secretary of Defense to provide all DADT data from January 1, 2009 until the present. The deadline for sending it to Congress is January 15, 2010.
Going forward, the letter asks that the Defense Department continue to provide a report on DADT related discharges occurring across all branches of the military on a monthly basis in 2010 and beyond. The information requested would include the discharged service member's job specialty (MOS), time in service and branch served.
Congressman Moran has been at the forefront of efforts to highlight DADT discharge data. Making this information public shows clearly how much this policy hurts our national defense and wastes taxpayer dollars. The last report received by Moran came after a request to the Army for data from the month of January, 2009, the final month of the Bush Administration. That original letter requested monthly updates going forward but the Defense Department has not complied. In May 14, 2009, Moran sent a letter to the Secretary of Defense formally requesting the monthly updates.
"If the Pentagon continues to refuse to comply we'll be forced to take legislative action mandating these monthly reports," said Moran. "It's neither fair to the taxpayers nor beneficial to our national defense for the Defense Department to keep this data out of the public's reach."

Giving children gelt, or money (usually small coins), is a tradition practiced in many Jewish households. It's also become increasingly popular to give chocolate gelt, usually packaged in gold foil and plastic netting. And even though chocolate is chocolate to most kids, we're pretty taken with the Crate & Barrel Hanukkah Gelt Bag ($10). It's festive, the chocolate is kosher, and the bag is reusable, which means once the chocolate is gone, kids can store real coins and/or treasures in it.

South Africa is been making wine since the late 1600's, the oldest wine producer of the new world. Since Mulderbosch Vineyards was established in 1989 is been recognized as one of South Africa's paramount wine producers. In 2011, Mulderbosch was acquired by well-known California-based investment company Terroir Capital led by seasoned wine investor Charles Banks. Under new ownership Mulderbosch Vineyards did experience positive changes, including a new winemaking team lead by winemaker Adam Maison, upgrading vineyard management practices and improvement of their grape sourcing program.
Mulderbosch respects their land by preserving and improving all their vineyards for future generations. As a standard practice, they are actively involved in land conservation and rehabilitation; following environmentally responsible management practices both in the cellar and vineyards. Mulderbosch Vineyards produces, a Bordeaux-style blend, a varietal Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé, a Barrel fermented Chardonnay, a Chenin Blanc and a Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc.
The 2013 Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé arrived as a sample. As you smell and taste this fun rosé you can tell the grapes are grown and pick with the idea of rosé production in mind. Pleasant aromatics in this wine, ripe citrus (tangerine, navel orange), raspberry, red currants and hints of fragrant wood. On the palate this wine feels refreshing with flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry, watermelon and orange zest. Pleasant acidity and persistent fruit-forward finish.
We tried this delicious rosé with a thin crust homemade pizza with red sauce, mozzarella and provolone cheeses, mushrooms, tomatoes and Spanish chorizo. This wine will go great with many culinary creations, try it with your favorite fish, salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing, fried food, sushi, carnitas tacos, roasted chicken, paella and many more. Average retail price: $12

Re: Lens shortages
Wrong forum? I'm asking specifically about PANASONIC lenses and their shortages - not lens shortages for the general m43 community. I'll certainly post the question there as well, but I sure think Panny fans could possibly have info about the availability of lenses for their brand cam.

Kendall Jenner strutted her stuff during the Giles fashion show at London Fashion Week according to a Feb. 17 report from E! Online. It seems like she's moving her way up in the fashion industry.
The 18-year-old walked the runway at the autumn/winter 2014 fashion show. She wore a black and white graphic print silk dress, black opaque tights and black platform sneakers.
Jenner's brunette hair was slick straight and styled in front of her face. She also wore bright blue eye shadow on her lids.
She posted on Giles' Instagram account before she hit the runway. She wrote, "Hello from #LFW! Just walked #Giles and ready to take over for another day - @kendalljenner #KendallTakesOver #ImBack." [SIC]
Even she thinks she's taking over the fashion world.
Jenner told Grazia Daily that she was looking forward to walk in London Fashion Week. She already made her debut at the Marc Jacobs show at New York Fashion Week in a braless top.
Fans speculate that mama and "momager" Kris Jenner is behind Kendall Jenner's rapid rise to fashion fame. Kendall was spotted sitting next to Anna Wintour at the Topshop show on Sunday.

Pregame will be posted a few hours before each game this baseball season. About an hour before first pitch, lineups will be added to the bottom of this post. Return after the game for our Postgame blog with video.
General Info
- What: LSU (46-15-1) vs. Houston (47-16)
- When: 7 p.m. Monday
- Where: Alex Box Stadium
- NCAA tournament bracket: Click Here.
- Starting pitchers: LSU Fr. RHP Alden Cartwright (1-1, 1.87) vs. UH Fr. RHP Andrew Lantrip (6-0, 1.55)
- TV: None (ESPN3.com)
- In-game updates on Twitter: @DellengerAdv
- Links to know: Tigers blow four-run lead in 5-4 loss to Houston, get pushed to elimination game; Column: Game had it all; Notes: Bregman continues impressive play in postseason; Postgame blog
What's At Stake
- It's the old cliche: win or go home. The Tigers have been pushed to an elimination game at home in a regional for a 23rd time in program history. They're 19-3 in the previous 22 home regional elimination games, and they've never lost a home regional after winning the first two games. It would be a record low, basically, if the Tigers can't win this one.
What To Watch
- The promise: Cartwright delivered what many consider bulletin board material (hey, another cliche) on Sunday night, promising that the Tigers would win Monday's elimination game. Can he help deliver the promise? Cartwright is expected to get the nod on the mound.
- Pen position: So who's fresh for LSU in the bullpen after three games in three days? Everyone except closer Joe Broussard, likely. LSU hasn't used five pitchers this weekend: Cartwright, Hunter Devall, Parker Bugg, Henri Faucheux and Brady Domangue. It has used the following pitchers (for X amount of pitches): Aaron Nola (104), Jared Poche (78), Kyle Bouman (64) Broussard (58), Nate Fury (33), Zac Person (28) and Kurt McCune (15). Expect a lot of Cartwright, Bugg and McCune on Monday in crunch time.
- Bregman's magic: The LSU shortstop is batting over .400 during the Tigers' last 11 games. He went 4 for 5 on Sunday night, and that wasn't the most impressive thing. He made a number of incredible defensive plays, owning his territory.
Know Your Opponent
- Houston is starting freshman RHP Andrew Lantrip (6-0, 1.55). He has the fifth-most start on the Cougars team. Lantrip started Friday's win over Bryant, hurling 41 pitches over two innings. He allowed five hits and one run. In all this weekend, Houston has used 10 pitchers. LSU has used seven.

Offense ?- Coordinator Sonny Dykes
Making the Right Decisions
QB Coach: Sonny Dykes
Last year the Wildcats completed nine touchdown passes. Sonny Dykes helped direct a Texas Tech system that completed five or more in three games, and three or more in seven different games.
Nothing's promised, of course, but the point is inescapable ?- scoring them by throwing the ball.
Stoops took care assembling his new offensive staff and the bottom line was finding a way to move the ball consistently. The benefit in a
Tuitama Lyon Heavner
For Dykes, that will start with quarterbacks, notably junior Willie Tuitama and redshirt freshman Tyler Lyon. The Cats also bring back Kris Heavner, a fifth-year veteran.
A year ago Tuitama essentially missed three starts and much of five games overall after a series of hard hits to the helmet. That not only slowed his development but took one of the Cats' best players out of the action. The quick-strike offense, built around swift pressure and more pressure via moving the ball all over the field, should help take some of the pressure off Willie. Plus a year of duty and some new schemes for young linemen will help even more.
Tuitama's career is yet to be defined, though his two brief seasons (15 games) have shown sparkle that begs for good health and a full year's worth of growth. Coaches feel he's capable of 60-percent throwing and have a system that will take advantage of his ability to throw the ball anywhere on the field. He's accurate and studies the game. He earned freshman All-America honorable mention in his five-game '05 debut and is the perfect tool for UA's re-tooling.
Top QBs
Willie Tuitama, 6-3, 225, Jr., 2L
Tyler Lyon, 6-5, 220, Fr-RS
Kris Heavner, 6-3, 230, Sr., 3L

Academics Overview
Biosystems engineers
- Devise practical, efficient solutions for producing, storing, transporting, processing, and packaging biological and agricultural products.
- Solve problems related to systems, processes, and machines that interact with humans, plants, animals, microorganisms, and biological materials.
- Develop solutions for responsible, alternative uses of biological products, byproducts and wastes and of our natural resources - soil, water, air, and energy.
As an undergraduate biosystems engineering student, you can tailor a program of study based on your individual interests and career goals. Fundamental courses in engineering and biology provide the background necessary to apply engineering principles to biological systems. You will learn to design and manage systems that efficiently and ecologically produce and process biological, food, and agricultural products.
Bioenvironmental Engineering - prepares engineers to work in natural resource conservation and environmental quality enhancement. Engineers in this area study: surface water hydrology, groundwater hydrology, sediment transport, water quality, chemical rate and transport, waste management, reclamation of disturbed lands, site remediation, irrigation, and drainage.
Machine Systems Automation Engineering - prepares engineers to conceive and design power units, tillage, planting, and harvesting systems, materials handling equipment, and processing equipment. Production and processing of biological products relies heavily on the use of automated machinery. Engineers in this area work with fundamental concepts including: system dynamics, kinetics, automated controls, machine design, kinematics, fluid power, soil dynamics, plant-machine interactions, and digital electronics.
Controlled Environment Systems - involves the development and design of heating, cooling and ventilation systems for the control of indoor environments. Environmental control is an essential component of total confinement animal housing, greenhouse production, aquaculture, and human housing. Engineers in this option study: heat and mass transfer, physics of plant and animal environments, biometeorology, structural design, air quality, and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning design.
Food and Bioprocess Engineering - involves the development of equipment and methods for efficient and ecologically sound manufacturing of food products (from the farm to the grocery) and biological commodities (such as proteins, enzymes, biofuels). Engineers in this area receive extensive training in: microbiology, biochemical engineering, heat and mass transfer, enzyme kinetics and fermentation, storage of biological products, and materials handling.
Pre-Biomedical Engineering - allows students to complete an undergraduate degree in Biosystems Engineering that has been approved by the Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBME) at the University of Kentucky, which only offers graduate-level degrees. Undergraduates who have completed this option and are in good academic standing are encouraged by the CBME to apply for the Biomedical Engineering graduate program at UK.
Pre-Veterinary Medicine - an approved pre-vet curriculum in which the student may obtain a Biosystems Engineering degree and simultaneously fulfill the requirements for admission to veterinary school.

Dear Mike,

From concerned Temple Fans everywhere, I am presenting you with an EMD (Eat My Dust) Award in being ahead of every coaching call this season.

Although not a Rhule fan, you called the pick before any other media. Then you pulled a hat trick + with the assistant coaches. This is why TFF is a 1ST view everyday football updates.

I have looked over the team now in place. If we can keep OC Rovovich for 3 years we got a gift. This is a head couch of San Jose State, or Nevada, of even better a football dead UNLV.
No matter, HC Rhule has his replacement in assistant OC Satterfield training right behind him to learn the new offensive plan.
Assistant DC Noble is HC Rhule insurance DC Heater is a long term stay. If he leaves, a trusted replacement is right there to assume the plan.

This is the kind of HC leadership Temple has always needed and rarely received. If this team can fill out the rest of the roster from the recruit list I emailed, then Temple will have all the tools needed to win.

The link between body rotation and arm movement in the golf swing is often referred to as "sequence of motion." To me, this is one of the biggest keys to better golf but too often ignored in instruction.
In 1946, Percy Boomer wrote "On Leaning Golf," a book in which he referred to the backswing as a race between body rotation and arm swing. He said that whatever wins the race away from the ball will win the race to the top of the backswing and whatever wins the race to the top will win the race starting the downswing. Boomer went on to write that good players allow their bodies to win that race while most amateurs let their arms take over too much. This definition of sequence of motion is the best I've seen.
More than 60 years later, a Golf Digest story said that by the time the left arm reaches waist high in the backswing the average tour player's shoulders have rotated 50 degrees and the average amateur's between 15 and 30 degrees. This verifies what Boomer stated – that great golfers rotate much earlier with their torso than amateurs, which gives them the proper sequence and allows their body to lead the downswing.
With a fuller body turn and shorter arm swing, a tour player doesn't have to get his driver's clubhead to parallel on the backswing in order to launch 300-yard drives. That's because their towering shots are the result of a full body turn.
