Now that MFF2011 is over for another year, it's going to be hard going back to the mainstream movies of the megaplexes in Milwaukee. That's ok because MFF2011 gave us some good memories. Total films screened for the fest was over 170. Total films I screened was 24. The frustrating thing is seeing everything one wants. The lucky thing is if you missed many of these, some will be coming to the UWM Union Theatre in the coming weeks and months. Many will also be appearing in the near future to Netflix and other similar services.
Here's a brief rundown of the fests award winners which were announced in full on October 3, 2011, along with my personal winners and losers. For complete details on the awards and the films themselves go to Milwaukee Film's site here.

Milwaukee Movie Examiner's Worst of MFF 2011:
- (tie) "Green"/"Bibliotheque Pascal"
- "Like Crazy"
- "The Last Circus"
- "Hermano"
The best films in my opinion of this years' fest challenged the audience in deep, profound, and provocative ways. Four of my top films were documentaries. "The Interrupters" and "The Redemption of General Butt Naked" will be showing at UWM Union Theatre in the very near future (check UWM Union Theatre's site here for more info). "Gandu" was a love it or hate it film that is shockingly profane but it takes you on a journey and ultimately you discover the humanity in the title character. "Gainsbourg" was a wildly original biopic. "The Sleeping Beauty" took an adult take on the well known fairy tale with allusions to puberty and a sexual coming of age. It definitely isn't Disney's take but is a fascinating and beautiful journey. "We Need To Talk About Kevin" seems almost a sure thing for a least one or two Oscar nominations. "Wish Me Away" tells the brave story of Chely Wright who becomes the first country singer to come out as a lesbian and begins to connect with the LGBT community. "Mumbai Diaries" tells a story of a love triangle that crosses India's social classes. A sweet and entertaining movie. "On Tour" is a fun road movie about a troupe of American burlesque performers who are on tour with their manager in Italy. "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is an enchanting romantic comedy from Hong Kong and from a director (Johnnie To) who's mainly known for his action/mafia movies.
The worst films of the fest divided audiences and even some that audience members most hated actually had quite a few defenders. All but "Green", seemingly the most hated movie at the fest, the film is mumblecore at it's worst. The film's two central characters are New York intellectuals who go on vacation out in rural Virginia. They meet a woman who they deem to be uneducated and a hick but eventually warm to. The female half of the couple then has paranoid fantasies that the woman and her boyfriend are having a steamy affair. Annoying and seemingly endless at 75 minutes. "Bibliotheque Pascal" is a turgid fantasy about a half Hungarian/half Romanian woman who is trying to win back custody of her child. What's real and what's not are blended in this extremely unpleasant film and the viewer doesn't really care if she gets her daughter back or not. Want's to be a bleak version of "Amelie" but fails. Still some really enjoyed this and it did win the cinematography award. Similarly, "Like Crazy" wants to be a junior version of "Blue Valentine" but doesn't have the chops and ultimately fails to hold the audience interest. We don't care about the couple we see on screen who are seperated from each other as one is from the US and the other the UK. Complications ensue and they do bad things to each other but neither is human and it leads to a rather blase ending. "The Last Circus" did it for many people at the fest, it had everything they were looking for: machine gun toting clowns, revenge, a love triangle. However, those elements do not a movie make on their own. Halfway through the very interesting tale takes a turn for the bizarre and it never fully recovers. It's hard to believe that it was nominated for so many Cesar awards. "Hermano" is a film that had potential as a tale about two boys who become brothers in a very unique way. A tragedy early on in the film changes it from being about two young brothers with a love for soccer into just another average crime tale. Unfortunate.

Russia can be a very intimidating place. Russia's President Vladimir Putin can be a very intimidating man. But 65 world leaders are going to brave it in order to appear at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games, according to the Denver Post on Feb. 6. Coincidentally, 65 countries boycotted the Summer Olympic Games the last time they came to this part of the world, and that Moscow Olympics boycott in the Soviet Union was spearheaded by none other than the then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
Pres. Barack Obama, like Mr. Carter, will be sitting out the games this year, choosing to stay within the borders of his own country in protest of the human rights issues he feels warrant his displeasure, like the anti-gay law Vladimir Putin is enforcing.
Joining Pres. Obama in refusing to attend and cheer on their national athletes include French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron and German President Joachim Gauck.
Despite the fact that four of the most prominent world leaders will not be in attendance when the opening ceremony commences in Russia, the impact will be miniscule, as there will be three times the dignitary attendance realized in 2010 at the Vancouver games. And it is rumored that those who will be in attendance include some powerful movers and shakers in the world economy and political circles today.
For example, the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon was present during the IOC dinner Thursday night, and he will carry the Olympic torch. And since Ban spent his time becoming a career diplomat before assuming his post for the past six years as the U.N. as Secretary-General, then he's definitely one world leader Putin would want to be present.
Pres. Obama's absence at the billions-dollar event flies in the face of the other trips he has taken for less internationally-motivated reasons. And one would hope he isn't taking issue with a nation trying to protect its children from abuses by criminals of any sexual persuasion. In addition, his absence leaves Americans with no one representing them at the table in Russia this week for the first ever IOC President's Dinner, according to Olympic.org.
But it appears he may have security concerns in addition to mere issues with the anti-gay law in place in Russia. And with so many world leaders expected to be in Russia during this time, it would not do for the American president to also be in Sochi if a terrorist attack does occur on Russian soil.

For sure footing on any terrain, count on Merrell boots, hiking shoes, and other grade-A outdoor options for men, women, and kids. You'll feel confident from trails and peaks to sidewalks and beaches.
Naturally, this eco-friendly outdoor brand has roots in New England. Two ski manufacturing moguls and custom boot maker Randy Merrell teamed up to found the Merrell label in Vermont in 1981. Interestingly, their first fitted boot was the Randy Merrell Cowboy Boot, but they quickly found their wheelhouse in 1983 with The Wilderness — named the world's best boot by Backpacker Magazine. Its blue laces helped kick-start the colorful string trend for hiking boots that's still in style today. But performance is where Merrell really took off. In 1985, The Eagle became one of the first durable leather boots to use running sole technology. Merrell climbed higher in 1996 with the M2 Millennium — the first multi-sport shoe with high-tech Vibram rubber soles. After joining the family of Wolverine Worldwide brands in 1997, Merrell hit their creative stride on the fashion side by introducing the Jungle Moc — a so-called "after-sport" crossover mixing slip-on loafer comfort with rugged outsole traction — that's still a best-selling alternative to sneakers.
Today, Merrell is a top choice for variety of outdoor occasions. Campers, climbers, and nature lovers of all kinds love the Moab and Chameleon hiking shoe collections, where many styles feature breathable waterproofing from top tech like GORE-TEX. You'll also see Merrell by beaches, pools, and parks thanks to their line of cozy-yet-sturdy sandals that are not only antibacterial, but quite stylish. Of course, you can now rock their logo from head to toe. Browsing for a complete Merrell outfit is a breeze with ShoeBuy, so add matching clothing to your perfect pairs — it all ships free in the US with us!

NEW YORK, May 6, 2007 – The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI), the world's first team-based professional mixed martial arts league, is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Southern California Condors middleweight Jeremy Williams, 27, of Laguna Niguel, Calif. The Orange County, Calif., Sheriff's Department – Coroner Division confirmed that Williams died Saturday and that an autopsy will be performed to determine cause of death.
"This is a very sad day for the Williams family, Jeremy's teammates and all of the Mixed Martial Arts community," IFL Co-founder and Commissioner Kurt Otto said. "Jeremy was a tremendous competitor and teammate, as well as being a very strong person who lifted the spirits of everyone around him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeremy's wife, Lauren, their young daughter and the rest of his family, as well as his coaches Marco Ruas and Debi Purcell and all his teammates. Everyone at the IFL, as well as the entire MMA community, will do everything we can to support them in their hour of need."
Williams owned a professional record of 7-2 and was undefeated in his first two IFL fights, last competing at the Forum in Los Angeles on March 17, when he defeated the Tokyo Sabres' Kazuhiro Hamanaka. One of the rising stars of the first-year league, Williams was going to miss the Condors' next matchup at the Sears Centre in Chicago on May 19, due to a recent recurrence of a sternum injury.

On Friday, the National Rifle Association (NRA) announced through media communications that it has filed a brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit concerning the National Security Agency (NSA) spying case.
The NRA said that the brief supports the American Civil Liberties Union's request for reversal of a decision by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that upheld the National Security Agency's data collection program.
The NRA previously reported on the lower court case here.
The NRA said, "That article contains a more detailed description of NRA's arguments, but they generally make two major points. First, that the NSA's mass data collection violates the First Amendment's freedom of association protection because individuals will be chilled from joining certain groups like NRA that have been the target of hostility by others, including certain public officials, and identify their members' private social, political, or religious beliefs to the government."
"The second line of argument focuses on how the data collection programs could undermine privacy protections in federal law that prohibits creating a registry of firearms or firearm owners."
"Much of the government's arguments have focused on the fact that the surveillance program only collects metadata and that the content of communications still remain private," the NRA said.
The NRA pointed to a recent study by two graduate students at Stanford University that shows how much private information can be gleaned about an individual from even a small amount of metadata. The study collected telephone metadata on volunteers over a period of just a few months.
"The authors hypothesized that they would not be able to identify any specific information about the participants because of the small amount of data collected, but as they put it: "We were wrong. We found that phone metadata is unambiguously sensitive, even in a small population and over a short time window. We were able to infer medical conditions, firearm ownership, and more, using solely phone metadata."
"On the specific issue of firearm ownership, the authors of the study determined that one of the volunteers likely was interested in firearms and specifically in AR-15 pattern rifles," said the NRA.
"This information was then confirmed to be true by the study participant. This type of information is particularly sensitive at a time when some government officials at both the state and federal levels are showing increasing hostility towards individual gun ownership and when interest in a particular type of firearm may bring an individual under close governmental scrutiny because of that firearm's disfavored status."
The NRA concluded, "The NRA will continue to support this case and others that serve to protect the privacy interests of gun owners and will release future updates on this case."

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything.
We'll admit it, we've all bought a pair of jeans with artful rips and carefully constructed holes - they look cool, casual, and a little bit DGAF chic. But this Acacia Tank ($65), part of model Alessandra Ambrosio's line, looks like it's been sitting in the back of a moth-filled closet for years, or like the wearer has been stranded on an island for months. Perhaps Alessandra was a little bit too inspired by some of her Victoria's Secret beach location shoots?

|Where does Paul Pierce rank among Celtics greats?
|02.06.12 at 9:06 am ET
On the verge of surpassing Larry Bird for second on the Celtics career scoring list, Paul Pierce only further cements his status as one of the storied franchise's all-time greats — his No. 34 already reserved in the rafters.
How far Pierce climbs that ladder remains to be seen. Even when he surpasses Larry Legend's 21,791 career total with 10 more points, it's hard to argue Pierce soars past Bird, but where does he rank if he retired today?
'It's nothing I ever really think about,' said Pierce. 'I never go into the season trying to break records. They're going to happen if they happen. Just to be mentioned among the great Celtics of the past is just an honor.'
As soon as seven years ago — in the aftermath of Pierce's infamous jersey-swinging, head-wrapping ejection from Game 6 of a playoff series — this thought seemed utterly insane: The Truth is one of the top five C's in history.
Still don't believe it? Just examine the resumes of the best quintet ever to call the Garden home.
|Paul Pierce: 'I see Kevin and Ray playing past this year'
|12.13.11 at 5:20 pm ET
WALTHAM — While much of the discussion at Celtics Media Day focused on a closing championship window for the aging veteran core, team captain Paul Pierce left it open a crack.
'I really see Kevin [Garnett] and Ray [Allen] playing past this year, hopefully with the Boston Celtics even though their contracts are up," Pierce said. "But if Doc [Rivers] wants to use that as motivation, then I will.'
Both Garnett and Allen are free agents after this shortened season, clearing $31 million worth of contracts from the books, and neither addressed his future beyond this season. Speculation has ranged from this being Garnett's last season to both he and Allen signing more cap-friendly deals and making another run in diminished roles.
'At any moment, anything can change, so this year, last year, the year before, you guys have asked this same question: 'Is this our last opportunity?'" Allen said. "Every moment we come out here is our last opportunity, because nothing is promised."
Pierce, on the other hand, is one of only three Celtics players signed beyond this year ($16.8 million in 2012-13 and $15.3 million in 2013-14). Obviously, he'd like to see the Big Three remain intact beyond 66 more games.
|10 Things I Heard About Celtics VIII
|10.17.11 at 2:02 pm ET
On another slow Celtics news day, there's still plenty to learn about Boston's green men. Here are 10 more C's links of interest we discovered over the past few days ('10 Things I Heard About Celtics' I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII).
10. Current and former Celtics players Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green and Marquis Daniels all participated in Midnight Madness festivities at their respective Alma maters over the weekend.
Allen and Daniels judged dunk contests at UConn and Auburn, respectively. Likewise, Kentucky and Georgetown recognized Rondo and Green for their contributions to the Wildcats and Hoyas.
"Rondo, by the way, is outstanding," UK head coach John Calipari recently said. "I mean this guy, he is working '¦ and I told him, and I told Nazr Mohammed the same thing: When they are done if they want to come back and join this staff and finish up their degrees, they are welcome. They are great young people who want other people around them to get better and they are not afraid to share their knowledge and their experiences."
Even C's coach Doc Rivers showed up to watch his son Austin Rivers at Duke's first official practice. Doc hasn't abandoned his own Alma mater, as he is a member of the search committee for Marquette's new AD.
Rivers' respite from the golf course won't last long, as he will join a slew of PGA Tour stars and former Red Sox outfielder Johnny Damon in the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic pro-am. Welcome to the NBA lockout, ladies and gentlemen.
9. After totaling almost as many fouls (5) as points (7) in his losing debut for Italian team Benetton Treviso, Celtics second-round draft pick E'Twaun Moore bounced back in Game 2, totaling 11 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during an 85-84 victory. He started both games.
To put his performance in perspective, Moore's averages through two games (9.0 PTs, 4.0 PFs, 4.0 REB, 1.0 AST and 1.0 STL in 27.5 MIN) compare less than favorably to BT teammate Brian Scalabrine (12.0 PTs, 3.5 REB, 3.0 AST, 2.5 PFs and 0.5 STL in 31.5 MIN). So, tame your Moore excitement.
Meanwhile, C's backup point guard Avery Bradley is scheduled to make his Hapoel Jerusalem debut on Monday.
|Twitter bird logo named Larry after Celtics legend
|08.11.11 at 1:31 pm ET
Celtics fun fact of the day: Twitter's iconic bird logo is apparently named "Larry" after C's legend Larry Bird. Celtics director of interactive media Peter Stringer confirmed the logo's rumored identity on Thursday with Twitter co-founder Isaac "Biz" Stone, a native of Wellesley, Mass. No word yet on whether Google's logo is nicknamed "Tom" after Celtics not-so-great Tom Gugliotta.
|Larry Bird to join Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson on 'NBA 2K12' covers
|07.21.11 at 1:26 pm ET
The last time Larry Bird and Michael Jordan were featured on the cover of the same video game in 1988 for "Jordan vs. Bird: One on One," the game came out for such systems as the Commodore 64, Sega Genesis and of course the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Oh and the gameplay looked like this.
Now, the pair along with Laker great Magic Johnson will be featured on the cover of the game "NBA 2K12" this upcoming season and will also be able to be used as players within the game. The three players will each have their own cover all to themselves and the covers will be dispersed equally across the country (while only the Jordan cover will be available in non-US markets). Jordan famously graced the cover of "NBA 2K11," and the popularity of that game (5 million units sold, 20 awards) led 2K Sports to give this season's version a similar approach with two extra stars thrown in for a little extra spice.
'Bringing Michael Jordan to the virtual hardwood last year was a huge success for NBA 2K11; however, we didn't want to stop there,' said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports, in a statement. 'We're bringing 'His Airness' back to the NBA 2K franchise as part of a multi-year extended partnership, along with two other legendary icons ' Larry Bird and Magic Johnson ' for a special cover athlete collection representing the NBA's greatest heroes.' (Read the entire statement on Facebook here.)
The game is already available for preoder and will be ready for wide release on Oct. 4, for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP and Windows PC. The game will be sold and played even if a lockout threatens the entire NBA season in 2011-12. No word on if it will work on NES, however.
|Larry Bird on the Big Show: I never would have coached at old Garden
|06.28.11 at 6:39 pm ET
Celtics legend Larry Bird was a guest of The Big Show on Tuesday and he sat down with Glenn Ordway for a wide-ranging interview that touched on his job with the Pacers, how he feels about the modern game — and some of the players — and his memories of playing with the Celtics.
Bird also said that he never would have coached at the old Boston Garden.
"All my memories I just wanted them to be as a player," Bird said. "Even here in Indiana, I told Donnie [Walsh] if the Garden was still up I would never go in there as an opposing coach and play the Celtics as an Indiana Pacer coach. I just couldn't do that. But they tore it down and I got in there in the other Garden and it didn't bother me as much."
Asked if he would have handed over the team to his then-assistant coach Rick Carlisle, Bird laughed, "Carlisle did a lot of it anyway. No, I just wouldn't have taken the job. I just couldn't do that. I couldn't see myself walking in the Boston Garden as a visitor. I just couldn't do that."
Listen to the whole interview on The Big Show audio on demand page. Here's the rest of the transcription from the interview:
You haven't made a lot of trips back [to Boston]. Is that by design or is that just how the schedule worked out?
Well, we're pretty busy here and I try to get out there as much as I can, just never enough because my admiration I have for that city, it's a great city, it's a sports town. I always like to go back out there but an opportunity hadn't arose as much as I'd like. But obviously I'm going to be there for a couple of days and I'll probably enjoy it.
As you look back at the great period that you had with [the Celtics], is there anything you look back at and say, "I wish I had done this?"
Yeah, a couple more championships would have helped. You know in 1981 when we won our first championship, I looked at our team and I thought, "Boy, we got a chance here to win at least five championships." And we had a couple years where we didn't do as well. Starting in '84, '85, '86, and '87, we were well on our way to winning a lot of championships. Then all of a sudden the back issues started coming in and things started changing. I always felt that we had a good enough team to win five championships.
We played in five finals but we just won three, so that's probably the most disappointing thing, but overall it was the greatest time of my life. It was something I loved and playing in a city that cared for their players and their teams, really it was a positive for me and I miss it. I miss being out there, I miss playing, but sometimes I forget I even played because it's been so long. But it was a great experience for me, I grew up in Boston and met a lot of good people and obviously got to play for Red [Auerbach], and I had some good teammates. We were a good team out there.

|Kevin McHale talks to Slam
|05.20.11 at 2:39 pm ET
In an interview with Slam's Tzvi Twersky, former Celtic great Kevin McHale looked back on his career and how he learned so many ingenious post moves. McHale was an undersized high schooler in Hibbing, Minn., who developed all kinds of up and under moves simply so he could survive against bigger players.
"I grew from 5-11 as a sophomore to 6-7, 6-8, maybe close to 6-9, by the end of my senior year of high school, and I grew to be 6-10 and a quarter," McHale said. "But I never knew that [was going to happen]. When I first became a basketball junkie, I was just a small, little skinny dude and then I became a real tall, skinny dude."
There's great stuff in this interview about playing with Larry Bird, taking on the role of the sixth man and the rivalry with the Lakers. This quote about playing with a broken foot seems especially poignant, considering the way the current Celtics have battled injuries late in their careers.
"I don't know. I say now in hindsight I wouldn't do it again, but if I was out there and we had the chance to win a championship, I'd probably do it again. I mean, how often do you get a chance to go down that road? It's the finals; how often do you get the chance to do that? It's one of those things where the mature side of me now that I'm older says I wouldn't do it. But you put me back at 27, 28, and say you have a chance to win another championship? I'd say, Let's tape it up; let's go."

You may not have known it, but if you visited one of eight area restaurants yesterday, your meal made a contribution to a unique fund-raising effort.
Eight restaurants agreed to donate ten percent of Tuesday's lunch and dinner profits to the United Way.
As we found out, this new technique proved very popular among restaurant patrons.
Mariah's is a Pennington family favorite, but little did Debbie know that as she and her mother had dinner last night, she was making a contribution to much needed community charities.
"I appreciate knowing that they are participating in something like this because its one of our favorite places to eat," Pennington said.
Mariah's is just one of eight local restaurants participating in this first ever effort to raise funds for the local United Way.
Brandi Fowler eats at Cambridge Market frequently and said she feels even better knowing her meal is making a difference.
"We saw the sign out - its a great cause - we normally contribute to the United Way, but this is a good way - people can come out and eat and do something for the community," Fowler said.
United Way President Doug Eberhart said most people don't realize that those who need help, need help everyday, not just when an organization is fund-raising.
"This time of the year, people don't hear about the United Way. We want to educate the community that their donation is really working year round and not just during the fall when everyone hears from us," Eberhart explained.
He also said this is a great way to raise money especially during the months when not everyone can just have fun in the sun.
"Especially during the summer kids from school may not have food to eat because parents have to work - no safe place for childcare - those are options the United Way offers to people in the community," Eberhart said.
The United Way provides 40,000 services to this community by funding 43 different programs.
The organization said they hope yesterday's fundraiser becomes an annual event.
Restaurants who participated:
Cambridge Market
The Bistro
The Brickyard (Bowling Green and Franklin locations)
Southwest Grill

In today's day and age of flat screen televisions and state-of-the-art home entertainment systems, there really is no reason to venture outside of your house for the same theater-like experience of the movies. To enhance your very own stay-at-home cinema, you must have a good popcorn maker. That's where T-Fal comes in.
The popcorn maker can turn around 15 cups of popcorn around in less than three minutes. Best of all, you don't have to use oil so it's a healthier option than reaching for a bag of greasy potato chips.
We love the compact stainless steel design that allows for easy storage, convenient butter dish on top and angled chute that allows the freshly popped corn to go directly into a bowl for added convenience.
It doesn't get much more fun than this on movie night.

Early one evening, while having trouble sleeping; Oliver hears a sound upstairs. Sneaking out of his coffin because his parents and brother are still asleep, he creeps upstairs into the decrepit human house that serves as a decoy above his families vampire crypt. There he encounters Emalie, a human girl around his age. She is snooping around the house and taking photographs. Oliver knows he should turn her in, but he's too enthralled by her presence to do more than watch her. When a careless misstep alerts Emalie to Oliver's presence, she snaps a picture of him and runs off.

I loved Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dark Shadows on TV when I was a kid, Anne's Rice's rock'n'roll vampires, and I even discussed what team I would join in the 'tween Twilight Saga. I also devour vampire novels with "punny" titles such as Undead and Unappreciated by Mary-Janice Davidson, but I put The Passage on request at the library because of an article I read in Time Magazine that stated that vampires are scary again, and I do love a character that bites.
She's been compared to Hans Christian Andersen and that clever fable maker Aesop. For children (and adults!) in today's world, her carefully crafted stories sing with a timeless rhythm and an honest truth. Her family's Russian-Jewish roots have given her the jumping-off place for many a tale (And Twelve Chinese Acrobats, Firebird, and Baba Yaga), but some stories seem to drawn from the heart of the world itself.
Jane Yolen, born in New York City on February 11, 1939, showed a talent for writing early on when she wrote and composed the words and music to her grade school pageant, starring as the lead carrot. She seems to have never slowed down during her years in high school: news editor of the school paper, Spanish club vice president, singing with the a capella choir, and captain of the varsity basketball team. Summers spent at a Vermont camp run by Quakers influenced her deeply. Several of her later books (The Gift of Sarah Barker and Friend: The Story of George Fox and the Quakers) relate to this period of spiritual growth.

Many people find one of the most enjoyable aspects of Halloween to be the myriad creatures associated with it. Legendary villains like Dracula, the Wolf Man, Frankenstein, and zombies of all stripes emerge on or about October 31st in the forms of costumes, films, and books. America's tendency to associate such creatures with Halloween is so embedded in our culture that we frequently forget that most of these creatures--or at least the versions of them we best remember--are relatively recent creations that are often less than two centuries old.

The winter season offers photographers and digital photography hobbyists an opportunity to capture unique contrasts of light and dark. More specifically, sunlight plays off snow while naked tree shadows skirt along the surface. A babbling brook offers a source of varied lighting, while wildlife such as mallard ducks or bright red berries certainly create a unique addition to a winter landscape. As snow adheres to ornamental features such as cement bridges designed to look wooden, the gray protrudes from underneath to create a naturally occurring contrast. A park like this is a photographer's dream.
The images in the adjoining slideshow were taken at McCourtie Park, in Somerset Center, Michigan, on New Year's Day, 2013.

I have a Contact Form 7 form that needs to redirect to specific pages depending on how the user arrived at the form. I'm storing the URL they need to be redirected to using localStorage and I'm trying to figure out how to tell contact form 7 this stored URL to use for redirection when the user clicks "Submit".
i.e. the basic redirection method within CF7's "Additional Settings" is:
on_sent_ok: "location.replace('http://www.YOURSITE.com');"
and I'm trying to set the URL using javascript:
var newUrl = localStorage.getItem('storedurl');}
on_sent_ok: "location.replace( newUrl );"}
Doesn't have to call localStorage from within CF7, it could just call in a variable that's been set globally. But I can't get either to work.

BWW Reviews: Josh Groban Makes Wolf Trap Debut
Now touring in support of his most recent album All That Echoes, Josh Groban made his Wolf Trap debut last night. A sold out crowd comprised of the young, the old, and the middle-aged rocked out with the talented man as his gloriously pure voice filled the cavernous venue. Backed by the impressive Filene Orchestra and his own band - with violinist Christian Hebel and pianist Ruslan Sirota being standouts - he shared a mix of hits from his most recent album, his previous albums, and covers of well-known pop songs. The welcomed eclectic set list offered a little bit of something for everyone - those who know all of his music and perhaps even those who simply know him as the guy that sang the anthem-like "You Raise Me Up."
While his obviously trained voice lent itself well to all of his song selections, there were a few definite highlights in the mix.
Opening the concert with "Brave" (featured on All That Echoes) he set the energy bar for the night quite high and managed to maintain it. Displaying a nice mix of powerful vocals and natural emotion, his sincere performance of the popular recent hit was one to remember.
Other memorable moments came in the form of his foreign language material. His rendition of the Spanish language "Un Alma Más" was noteworthy not only for his impeccable pronunciation - as a former Spanish major, nothing annoys me more - and his ability to highlight the romanticism of the song. With this, he proved why he is a global superstar whose popularity extends far beyond the United States' borders.
Long-time Groban fans may have also appreciated his decision to feature Don McLean's "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)," found on his debut album. His tender and expressive vocals - prominent in 2004 when he first recorded the song - are even more impressive now as he showed his ability to emotionally connect with the lyrics.

Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) is a purveyor of roasted coffee beans, fresh-brewed coffee, cold blended beverages, food items, coffee-related accessories and equipment, as well as teas, primarily at its company-owned stores.
Expanded Definition
If you live in a major U.S. metropolitan area, and you don't know anything about Starbucks, chances are good that your last name is "Van Winkle" (as in "Rip..."), or that you are an alien from another planet and have only recently landed on Earth.
Anyone not fitting those descriptions has probably at least heard of Starbucks, even if you live far from the maddening crowd. That's because Starbucks has been one of the major growth stories of the last 15 years, having gone from 165 stores in 1992, the year they became a publicly traded company through their IPO, to 8,337 stores in 2008, an average growth rate of 27% per year. In fact, some might consider their phenomenal growth to have been a catalyst to some of the difficulties the company and its stock encountered in 2007 and 2008. In some major U.S. cities, there are Starbucks stores within sight of each other. In a semi-serious tongue-in-cheek look at Starbucks and the financial collapse of the fall of 2008, Daniel Gross of "Newsweek" looked at the number of Starbucks locations in various financial capitals around the world and claimed there was a correlation between that number and the severity of the hit that city's country took.
Love 'em or hate 'em, there is no denying that Starbucks' iconic mermaid logo is a retail fixture.
Howard Schultz
The company started life as a single store in 1971, in Seattle's Pike Place Market. Howard Schultz, the company's current CEO, did not come on the scene until 1982, when he was hired as director of retail operations and marketing of Starbucks Company, the predecessor of the current company. In 1985, he co-founded the current company and served as Chairman and CEO for 15 years. In 2000, he left to pursue other interests. In 2008, he was asked to return to the struggling company.
Losing the growth and working a turnaround
After more than 14 years of a relentless march upwards in company size and stock price, the company's stock price reversed that trend in late 2006. Within two years, it had fallen nearly 75% from its all-time highs as year-over-year growth slowed and competition from McDonald's (NYSE MCD), Tim Horton's (NYSE: THI), and Dunkin' Donuts (private) heated up. The idea of having Starbucks stores within sight of each other no longer seemed like such a great idea and in the spring of 2008, year-over-year net income growth actually turned negative.for the second time since early 2002, the first time being the fall of 2006. At about that time, Howard Schultz returned to the job of CEO.
In the summer of 2008, the company announced that it would start closing stores, particularly many of the most recently opened ones. The company has also halted sales of many of its food offerings in an effort to return to its roots as a coffee-house. As part of that initiative, in the spring of 2008, the company purchased Ballard, Wash.'s The Coffee Equipment Co., maker of the Clover drip-coffee maker, which the company had been selling for $8,000 each to coffee retail outlets. The Clover is slowly appearing in all but the smallest Starbucks locations.

Wauwatosa will work to clean up problem property
Foreclosure pending on former dry cleaning business on Wauwatosa Avenue
The former home of a dry cleaning business at the corner of Wauwatosa Avenue and West Clarke Street is the subject of a foreclosure proceeding filed by Milwaukee County, with a hearing scheduled for next month.
The property at 2578 Wauwatosa Ave. shows obvious signs of neglect, and has not been operated as a business for years. Owner Ronald Collision of Wauwatosa owes about $241,000 in back taxes, interest and penalties, accumulated over 20 years, said county accountant Cathy Hollers.
Collison, 71, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in August. The filing does not clear him of the property tax obligations on the property, said City Attorney Alan Kesner.
Following foreclosure, the county would take possession of the property and expects to convey it to the city for site remediation and redevelopment, a plan that was approved last week by the Community Development Authority, which will act as owner of the property.
The possible redevelopment of the site is complicated by likely soil contamination from the dumping of dry-cleaning solvents — much of it by a previous owner — and Collison's continued ownership of a garage and parking area related to the property, but legally a separate parcel. Collison has paid back taxes on that piece, protecting it from foreclosure.
"I have very strong opinions on this property," 5th District Alderman Joel Tilleson said at the CDA meeting last week. "Not only is it in my aldermanic district, but it's two blocks away from my personal house. It is an eyesore, and it is the number one thing I get phone calls about from people in my district." He said it has been a problem for about 15 years.
The property was the site of dry cleaning business as early as the mid 1940s, and was purchased by Collison in 1974, according to court documents. He operated it as a dry cleaning business until 1993, and after that it was a drop-off site for clothing that he cleaned at another location, the documents say.
A change in state law
Collison, in an interview, said his problems began with the enactment of state Spill Laws in 1978, which required an owner of a property to clean up any contaminants.
The effect of the law was to reduce the value of property that was not cleaned up, and a lower property value would typically result in lower property taxes. But Wauwatosa requires the completion of an environmental site assessment on a contaminated property before it is revalued.
Collison said he did not pursue such an assessment because it would have resulted in a referral to the state Department of Natural Resources, which would have demanded a cleanup paid for by Collison.
Without environmental testing, the city continued to tax the site as if the property was not contaminated.
"People back in the '70s treated ... contaminated solvents a lot differently than they do now," Collison said. "They would, without reservation, just dump them on the lawn, on the ground."
Collison said he began his work life as an engineer and worked for Rockwell.
"I bought the dry cleaners for the sole purpose of developing an independence so I could do other things in the engineering field, and then the legal battle came up ... and brought me to a dead stop," he said. "It destroys everything you've got."

The fans of "Once Upon A Time" are ready for the fantastic conclusion of the season finale on Sunday night. There are many story lines to share with the fans, but one that has everyone's attention is an important name for the child of Snow White and Prince Charming. According to Christian Post on Friday, the name will be a substantial portion of the show and producers have promised that viewers will know how and why they came up with it.
This "Once Upon A Time Spoiler" offers details and speculation about the season finale and fans who don't want to know should stop reading now. There has been much speculation on the different names, yet nobody has been able to get a sneak of what the child has been called.
According to WetPaint, many fans have taken guesses with the child's name and social media is expected to share it the minute the name is announced (which is a good place to be if you aren't near the computer.) Possibilities have been offered as tributes to other characters in the series including the names honoring Regina, Arthur and even Neal.
Meanwhile Emma and Hook are pulled into Zelena's time portal. They find themselves in the Enchanted Forest of the past and an immediate risk is present. In their quest to discover a way back, they must be careful not to change anything or jeopardize the lives of their friends and family. It could also alter their very own existence as well.
The two-hour season finale of "Once Upon a Time," has fans excited to see how the show ends before the summer. With so many character looking for closure, there appears to be answers and excitement with a build up to a cliffhanger ending. Producers have promised to answer all the questions posed during the season and besides the name of the child, people would like to know if residents of Storybrooke will realize that Zelena is dead.
"Once Upon a Time" airs Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

With many of the new health care laws going into place, as well as insurance parity for substance abuse and mental health services, the door has been further opened for even those drug rehabs that are unsuccessful to continue to get more money.
If our government was responsible, it would have tied in quality control measures with its funding mandates so that facilities that do not provide much help don't receive more money and so that drug rehab centers that achieve results can have access to more financial backing.
Unfortunately, too many drug recovery centers still promote that addiction is an incurable disease, which is not only damaging to individuals trying to permanently recover, but also happens to be a lie.

It might sound like hyperbole, but Android has been one of the fastest-developed operating systems ever. In just five years, Google managed to push out 19 versions of Android (counting by API levels), and for a good amount of that time, the company averaged a release every two-and-a-half months. With such a rapid development cycle and a lack of a concrete design direction early on, you'd be hard-pressed to find a single part of Android that looked the same from one year to the next.
After doing all the research to make The History of Android possible, we thought it would be enlightening to focus on individual areas of Android and watch them change over the years. So we created this gallery after sifting through hundreds of screenshots.
Many of these early Google apps will never be seen functioning again. They rely on support from Google servers to function, and as the user base of early versions dies off, the server support dies, too. After we took these pictures, support for many of the apps was shut down. Starting them now just produces an error message.
For a more complete look at how Android got where it is today, check out the full History of Android article.
"Don't violate Apple's 'slide to unlock' patent!" was the name of the game when designing the lock screen. Google started with a simple button press, then moved to an arc gesture with the advent of capacitive buttons. Android 2.1 really did slide to unlock, and 3.0 and above switched to a circle. Over time, various options were added to the unlock ring. Google liked to change up the fonts every few versions, too.
"Don't violate Apple's 'slide to unlock' patent!" was the name of the game when designing the lock screen. Google started with a simple button press, then moved to an arc gesture with the advent of capacitive buttons. Android 2.1 really did slide to unlock, and 3.0 and above switched to a circle. Over time, various options were added to the unlock ring. Google liked to change up the fonts every few versions, too.
The App Drawer gets its name from the early days (1.0 - 2.0) when it was a literal drawer that you could open and close. The handle sat at the bottom of the home screen and could be dragged up and down. 2.1 made it a separate screen, but the name stuck. One change that we really can't communicate in pictures is the scroll direction. It used to be up and down, but Android 3.0 changed the app drawer to paginated, horizontal scrolling.
Other than the wacky Blackberry and white tile layout of the alpha versions, Google pretty much nailed the home screen in Android 1.0 and didn't change much after that. The icon and widget layouts and design have changed over the years, and in 2.2, Android started growing a dock.
The Notification panel seems to get tweaked with every new version. The two latest versions kept the Android 4.2 design, which we believe is a record for longevity. The smooth transition here is nice. The Notification panel went from gray to black-and-gray to black.
The Android Market/Play Store changed from something that was barely designed at all to one of the best looking apps on Android. The naming here might seem like a mess, but it's actually very deliberate. Anything called "Android x.x" was tied to the OS, while apps called "Android Market" or "Play Store" are standalone apps that weren't tied to an OS. So yes, Google ping-ponged back and forth. Really it's just Android 3.0 messing everything up.
The Camera app is another instance of flip-flopping over the years. Android 1.5, 4.2, and 4.3, (once you turn off the pictured settings) are all super-minimal camera UIs. The circle settings from Android 3.0 were reused in 4.2, and large, chunky controls present from 2.0 to 4.0 are back in the Google Camera. Also check out that skeuomorphism in Android 2.x. Mmmm, fake pixelated leather.
"The Gallery will just be squares of pictures, right?" Sort of, but Google has changed up the way it presents those squares over the years. The two biggest outliers are the hyperactively animated Android 2.1 Gallery, which wasn't even made by Google, and the current Google+ Photos app, which has taken over for the Gallery.
Gmail was home to only slight tweaks until Gmail 4.0 launched on the Galaxy Nexus. The then-high-res 720p screen allowed Google to revolutionize the inbox view with two full lines of e-mail text. The latest design, 4.5, added mostly pointless pictures and a better label display.
Android's "Music" app started out as a boring, ugly local music player they never really changed much. Everything changed when Google's cloud music service launched, and Google Music became a continually developed app.
Ron Amadeo
How much design can you apply to a grid of buttons? A lot, apparently, as Google has explored just about every possible permutation of dialer design over the years. The company has tried everything from rectangle buttons to circle buttons to no buttons, and now it has even done away with the dialer completely. When you tap the phone icon for the KitKat Google Dialer, you actually have to dig a bit to find the dial pad. At first you're presented with a search box.
The settings changed from a boring list with bizarre, functionless down arrow icons to a boring list full of relevant icons to a boring list with a few headers and switches thrown in.
This was supposed to be a gallery of the "Add to Home screen" dialog, but then we remembered Google obliterated the option from Android 4.0 to 4.2. At first it was a simple list, but Android 3.0 came up with this really cool zoomed-out view. When Google couldn't figure out how to shrink that tablet UI to phones, it just threw the widgets in the app drawer and called it a day. The zoomed-out design is back in KitKat's Google Now Launcher, though!
Early YouTube designs were kind of a mess, but that was fine, because YouTube was never that valuable on a device with a 2G or 3G connection and a 3.5-inch SD screen. Lately, though, the YouTube app home screen needs an "information density" intervention. YouTube 3.5 could display six videos per page. 4.0 went down to half that many, and with the newest design, we're down to one-and-a-half videos per screen. Thankfully, search results don't look like this.
Early Android apps today. Luckily, we got most of our screenshots in just before Google deprecated many of these clients. Several early Android apps are no longer supported by Google's cloud servers and now bring up a ton of crazy error messages like this. After the messages are dismissed, the app usually just closes.

Focused Genetic Analyses Seek To Improve...
The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Opioid Epidemic Is Not the Only...
Struggling Metabasis Therapeutics has opted to receive a $6 million one-time fee from Merck & Co. in lieu of the $54 million it could have earned in milestones over the next several years. The firm reiterates that this money alone is insufficient to keep it operational for a long time and that more capital is needed.
The amendment was triggered by Merck's selection of a lead candidate from its collaboration with Metabasis focused on AMP protein kinase activators for metabolic diseases. Excluding royalties, Metabasis could have earned approximately $54 million in cash if the product was successfully developed and marketed in a single indication. If a candidate was approved for additional indications, the total cash payments could have reached $74 million.
With Metabasis restructuring to save money since November 2008, however, the firm decided that near-term cash was more important. After three rounds of employee cutbacks, the company is left with a staff of seven, four clinical candidates, and three preclinical compounds. No one was immediately available from Metabasis to comment on the firm's current operational status.
Besides Merck, Metabasis is also collaborating with Roche on HCV. On June 5, it received $2 million with Roche choosing a clinical candidate for development. The collaboration, which focused on applying Metabasis' HepDirect® liver-targeting technology to Roche's lead nucleosides, was initiated with $10 million in August 2008. At the time, Roche agreed to pay $193 million in milestones per compound being developed.
The arrangement with Merck started with a $5 million fee in June 2005, and Merck was to fund research for the next three years. Then in April 2008, the partnership was extended until June 2009 with Merck paying $1.5 million to support research for the additional year.

Advertorial - Brunswick Forest: Today only - Successful local community hosts second annual open house
Published: Saturday, September 28, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 2:23 p.m.
Practically since the day developers broke ground in 2006, sales of Brunswick Forest homes and home sites have soared—even through the nationwide housing downturn. And they've shown no signs of slowing down.
"We have a hard time keeping inventory," said Jerry Helms, Director of Sales for Brunswick Forest. "It's not whether people are going to find something they like, it's whether or not what they like will still be available."
Helms noted that more than 1,100 families have chosen to call Brunswick Forest home since its inception, including 250 new families so far this year. "Homes sell so quickly, we have to continuously build to keep up with demand," he said.
On September 28, 2013, from 10 am until 3 pm, the public is invited to come see what the fuss is all about. Brunswick Forest is hosting its second annual community-wide Open House Day, showcasing more than 30 homes and home sites in a single day. Properties available for tour will include builder homes, home sites, resale homes and model homes.
"Our Open House is a celebration of very strong partnerships between Brunswick Forest's developer, home builders and local real estate brokers," said Helms. "People who are actively house-shopping, as well as those who simply enjoy looking at beautiful homes, can tour Brunswick Forest's wide variety of home options, from town homes beginning in the $200,000s, to custom homes on Cape Fear National golf course.
"It's a very attractive range of styles, sizes and price points," he said, "and all include the fabulous Brunswick Forest amenity package, and therefore lifestyle, as part of the deal."
Helms said people tend to be very surprised that they can live a country club-like lifestyle, without the price tag it usually carries. He also points out that the amenities are already in place for residents to start enjoying the day they move in, and new ones are in the works as the community continues to grow.
Brunswick Forest is home to beautiful Cape Fear National Golf Course, plus a handsome Fitness and Wellness Center that includes indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a full range of exercise equipment and classes, and comfortable spaces for meeting and socializing. Biking and walking trails link neighbors to each other, to amenities throughout the development, and to The Villages, the community's commercial area featuring an impressive array of goods and services, including a grocery store, pharmacy, retail shops, dining options and medical services. And the River Club provides access to a deck, a dock, and facilities from which to launch a kayak, canoe, or small fishing boat.
A third swimming pool with a smaller fitness center onsite will begin construction this year and will be completed for use in 2014. While it is located central to several new Brunswick Forest neighborhoods, the new facilities are for the entire community.
"Proximity to downtown Wilmington and area beaches has always been a primary Brunswick Forest amenity, as well," said Helms. "It's an unparalleled package that has contributed to Brunswick Forest becoming the coastal South's fastest-growing community."
Open House visitors will also have the opportunity for direct access to all the builders, who will have representatives onsite to answer questions about each home's features and construction techniques. Attendees can even sample a bit of the lifestyle by enjoying lunch at The Forest, located at the Cape Fear National Clubhouse.
On Saturday, a map of the properties included in the Open House will be available at the Brunswick Forest Welcome Center, just inside the entrance at 1007 Evangeline Drive. To further identify properties for sale, homes included in the event will have signage out front.
For residents of Wilmington and neighboring areas, it's a great opportunity to come out and discover why a community located right here in our region is creating such a buzz and defying trends on the national scene.

Florida clinched a spot in the SEC Championship game with its 41-17 over Georgia last week in Jacksonville. This week, they could find out if they get another rendezvous with Alabama. The Crimson Tide locks up the West division crown with a home win over LSU on Saturday and the computer gives them an 8.62-point advantage to do just that.
But while the SEC race is all but over, the other 10 conferences have plenty of intrigue left.
The Atlantic division of the ACC is controlled by Clemson, despite both teams being tied with 3-2 conference records. The Tigers have the upper hand by virtue of their 25-7 win over the Eagles back on September 19, but Clemson has a tough home date with Florida State on Saturday while Boston College gets the week off to cheer on the Seminoles.
Georgia Tech (5-1) and, believe it or not, Duke (3-1) control their destiny in the Coastal division race. The Yellow Jackets and Blue Devils meet next week in Durham. This week, the Ramblin' Wreck entertains Wake Forest while the Duke visits North Carolina.
Pitt and Cincinnati are the only remaining teams with unblemished records (4-0) in Big East play. Both squads are 4-0 and slated to meet at Pittsburgh on December 5. This week, Cincinnati hosts UConn and Pitt welcomes Syracuse.
Iowa owns the Big Ten as the only team left with a perfect league mark (4-0). The Hawkeyes draw Northwestern to Iowa City this week and have already dispatched Penn State (4-1). The only other 1-loss team in the conference is Ohio State and Iowa will have to go there next week. Ohio State and Penn State clash this week at Beaver Stadium.
The Big 12 North may not be decided until Kansas State (3-2) visits Nebraska (2-2) in two weeks. They are the only teams in their division with 2 losses, but the other four each have 3 losses. The Wildcats host rival Kansas on Saturday while the reeling Cornhuskers renew their rivalry with Oklahoma in Lincoln.
Texas (5-0) has the bases covered in the Big 12 South. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State each have just one conference loss, but those losses came against the Longhorns. Texas has a non-conference home date with UCF this week.
CUSA is its usual jumbled mess. East Carolina (4-1) leads the East by a game over UCF, Marshall, Southern Miss and UAB. The Pirates have already downed UCF and Marshall, and get Southern Miss and UAB at home in the final two games of the regular season. They go out of conference on Thursday to host a Virginia Tech team that they defeated last year and has dropped its last two games.
Houston and SMU are both 3-1 in the West division but the Cougars have the advantage after dropping the Mustangs 38-15 two weeks ago. The Cougars visit defending West division champion Tulsa on Saturday and the computer has the Golden Hurricane springing the upset.
Here's a surprise - Temple (4-0) joins Central Michigan (5-0) as division leaders in the MAC. The Owls can clinch their first winning season since 1990 with a home win over Miami (1-8) on Thursday night. Ohio and Kent State trail Temple with 1 conference loss and each gets a crack at Bill Cosby's alma mater in the final two weeks of the season. The Chippewas have the week off and can watch their closest challenger, Northern Illinois (3-1), host Eastern Michigan on Thursday. CMU and NIU may decide the West division champ when they meet on November 27 in Mount Pleasant.
TCU and Utah are both 4-0 in MWC play and face each other in Fort Worth next week. BYU is the only conference team with 1 league loss, but the Cougars were throttled 38-7 by the Horned Frogs two weeks ago. TCU visits San Diego State this week while Utah hosts New Mexico.
Oregon seized ownership of the PAC-10 race with its 47-20 demoralization of USC last week. The 5-0 Ducks travel to Stanford while their closest challenger, Arizona (3-1), hosts Washington State. Four teams have two conference losses - Stanford, Cal, USC and Oregon State - and with the PAC-10 playing a 9-game round-robin slate, there is still time for this race to take a different turn.
Troy, as expected in the preseason, looks like the team to beat in the Sun Belt. The 5-0 Trojans are responsible for dealing the only league loss to each of their closest challengers, Middle Tennessee and Louisiana-Monroe. Therefore, Troy could clinch the title this week if it wins at conference cellar-dweller Western Kentucky and the Blue Raiders and Warhawks lose their games. MTSU hosts FIU and UL-L visits North Texas.
Nevada (4-0) and Boise State (3-0) top the WAC, followed by surprising Idaho (4-1) and Fresno State (4-1) which meet on Saturday in Moscow. The Broncos visit Louisiana Tech, while the Wolf Pack travel to San Jose State on Sunday.
Army at Air Force - It may not be as big as Army-Navy but two-thirds of our military heroes stationed around the world will be watching. The Falcons have won 3 in-a-row, 11 of the last 12 meetings, and 18 of the last 20.
Navy at Notre Dame - Here's what the other one-third of our military heroes will be glued to. The Midshipmen ended a 43-game losing streak to the Irish two years ago, but saw a frantic comeback fall short in a 27-21 loss last year.
The list still contains these 7 teams - Alabama, Boise State, Cincinnati, Florida, Iowa, TCU, and Texas. At the same time last year, there were 6 unbeatens - Alabama, Ball State, Boise State, Penn State, Texas Tech, and Utah.
This list is down to 4 teams after Miami (Ohio) beat Toledo 31-24 on Saturday for its first win of the season. The remaining winless teams are: Eastern Michigan, New Mexico, Rice and Western Kentucky. At this time last year, Washington was the only winless team.
FBS vs. FCS:
There are 4 such games this week. FBS teams are 81-5 vs. FCS teams on the year (.942), and 456-42 (.916) since 2003.
Here are the results of every FBS loss to the FCS this season:
9/19: Central Arkansas 28, Western Kentucky 7
9/12: New Hampshire 23, Ball State 16. New Hampshire also has wins at Army in 2008 (28-10), Marshall in 2007 (48-35), and Northwestern in 2006 (34-17)
9/5: Richmond 24, Duke 16; William & Mary 26, Virginia 14
9/3: Villanova 27, Temple 24
This year, 87 FBS play a total of 94 games against FCS foes. Duke, Kansas State, Mississippi, North Carolina, N.C. State, Rutgers and USF each play two FCS teams.
Florida has 18 straight victories. The Gators host Vanderbilt.
Iowa has 13 straight victories. The Hawkeyes host Northwestern.
Texas has 12 straight victories. The Longhorns host UCF.
TCU has 10 straight victories. The Horned Frogs visit San Diego State.
Boise State has streaks of 20 consecutive regular season wins, 23 consecutive home wins, 53 consecutive regular season home wins, and 39 straight conference home victories. BSU has never lost at home to a fellow WAC member (33-0). The Broncos' last home loss to a conference foe occurred in 1998 when they were a member of the Big West and fell to Idaho in the final regular season game. The Broncos are 4-1 in their last five matches against BCS conference schools. The Broncos visit Louisiana Tech on Friday.
Oklahoma has 27 straight home victories. The Sooners visit Nebraska.
Utah has 12 straight conference wins, and 15 straight home wins. The Utes host New Mexico.
Alabama has 20 straight regular season wins, and 8 straight overall. The Tide hosts LSU.
Cincinnati has 14 straight regular season wins. The Bearcats host Connecticut.
Western Kentucky has lost 16 straight overall and 21 straight to FBS teams. The Hilltoppers host Troy.
New Mexico has lost 12 straight overall. The Lobos visit Utah.
There are 22 new college football coaches in the FBS ranks this season. 20 have secured their first victory. Only Eastern Michigan and New Mexico remain winless.
