Some Game Themes: A top-25 team visits Arizona Stadium for the third time this season for a rather unusual, but welcomed lunchtime kickoff ... The preseason favorite in the Pac-12 South (USC) brings conference title and even national title aspirations to the Old Pueblo against the home-standing Wildcats, who commence a five-week stretch against intra-division foes after a four-game run against North Division foes ... A highly competitive series in recent seasons with the last five contests all decided by a touchdown or less ... Arizona seeks its first victory against the Trojans in Tucson since 1999 ... A showcase of explosive offenses and a plethora of skill position stars on each side ... Heisman hopeful Matt Barkley, who passed for a school-record 468 yards against the Cats in the Coliseum a year ago, faces a Wildcat defense that appeared reinvigorated against Washington following a bye week ... Barkley's counterpart, Matt Scott, faces the Trojans for the first time in his career and hopes to continue a run of stellar play in his first full season as a starter .... Rising star Ka'Deem Carey (12 TDs, 1,080 all-purpose yards) has packed some punch in the run game for the Cats and gets another crack against the team he burst onto the scene against as a true freshman (3 total TDs last year) ... Each school boasts two of the top-nine receivers in the Pac-12, led by USC's Marqise Lee's conference-leading 784-yard, eight-touchdown season and UA's Austin Hill's 678-yard, seven-score campaign ... Statistically, the Trojans possess an advantage on defense with the second-ranked scoring defense in the league ... The Cats counter with the second-highest scoring offense and hope their opportunistic, bend-but-don't break defense can create some pressure the way it did against the Huskies ... Can UA, which has improved its red zone scoring in recent weeks, move the ball and punch it in the endzone against a USC squad that ranks among top-10 nationally for fewest redzone scores allowed ... USC seeks its 800th all-time victory, while Rich Rodriguezand Co. seek a signature conference win in the early stages of their program development.
The Coaches: Arizona - Rich Rodriguez (West Virginia '86), first year at Arizona (4-3) and 18th as a head coach overall (124-87-2). Rodriguez was introduced as the 30th head coach of the UA football program on Nov. 22, 2011. He carries Division I records of 4-3 at Arizona, 60-26 at West Virginia (2001-2007) and 15-22 at Michigan (2008-10). He began his head coaching career at Salem (W.Va.) University in 1988 and then coached at Glenville State (W.Va.) from 1990-96. Rodriguez's West Virginia teams were Big East Champions in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 while appearing in two BCS bowls, the 2005 Sugar Bowl with a victory over Georgia for an 11-1 record and a victory over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl to finish 10-2 shortly after Rodriguez had left for Michigan. Southern California - Lane Kiffin (Fresno State '98), third year at USC (24-8) and fourth year overall as a head coach (31-14). His background includes two years as an NFL head coach (Oakland 2007-08), six years as a USC offensive assistant (2001-06) and the head job at Tennessee in 2009. He started as a student assistant at Fresno State in 1997.
UA-USC 2011 Rewind: Arizona spotted USC 17 points in the early going and couldn't overcome the deficit in a 1,000-yard track meet at the Coliseum, dropping a 48-41 decision for its fourth consecutive loss. Trojan QB Matt Barkley threw for 468 yards and four scores while UA's Nick Foles threw for 425 yards and four scores. One difference -- two picks off Foles in the first quarter that led to USC scoring drives. Nearly anything led to a USC scoring drive as the Trojans scored on their first six possessions before Barkley was picked by Shaq Richardson in the third stanza. That led to an Arizona score as well -- one of six consecutive scoring possessions for the Cats. Once the Cats started scoring they pulled to within a touchdown, 41-34, but couldn't get a stop and USC mounted a quick and definitive drive, going 79 yards in five plays for its final points with nine minutes left. Arizona answered but couldn't pull off an onside kick attempt inside the final minute. Foles (41-for-53, 77%) and Barkley (32-39, 82%) were sharp throughout, but USC's 12.0 yards per attempt -- fueled by the second play the Trojans ran, an 82-yard swing pass to Robert Woods for a score -- were devastating. Woods ended up with 14 receptions for 255 yards and two scores, joined by Marqise Lee with eight grabs for 144 yards and a score. Foles spread his goods around, complete three or more passes to nine different receivers and throws to a dozen overall. UA's running game improved, with Keola Antolin netting 87 markers on 15 tries and Ka'Deem Carey scoring twice on 12 tough runs. True freshman Carey added a first receiving score to the inaugural running touchdowns in his young career. The Wildcats posted a then-school-record 37 first downs, but USC was gaining yards in chunks (9.1 per play) and couldn't fit more than 26 first downs in its 582 yards of offense. The Cats gained 554. There were two punts in the game, one in each half by UA's Kyle Dugandzic. USC did not punt.
Oh So Close: They say you are what your record says you are. In that sense, the Wildcats are in fact 4-3. But with one more play here (vs. Oregon State) and one more play there (at Stanford), Arizona instead could be boasting at a 6-1 record. The Wildcats held a 35-31 lead over the Beavers at Arizona Stadium on Sept. 29, but OSU put together a 10-play, 75-yard drive over the next 4:25 for the game-winning touchdown in a 38-35 come-from-behind victory. Arizona twice had the Beavers facing third downs on the decisive drive, but couldn't muster one final stop. A week later at Stanford on Oct. 6, the Cats clawed their way to a 48-34 lead midway through the fourth quarter. However, the Cardinal rallied to get within one score, before converting on a pair of fourth down plays on its final drive to tie the game 48-48 and force overtime. Stanford prevailed 54-48. Indeed, the Cats have been a few plays short, but still a positive sign for where Rich Rodriguez and Co. have the program in their first season in Tucson.
Treacherous Schedule: For the fifth time in eight games - and the fourth in the last five - Arizona is set to take on a nationally-ranked opponent. So far, UA's FBS opponents are a combined 32-9 this season, and Jeff Sagarin ranks UA's schedule as the 11th-toughest in the nation. The Wildcats have defeated Toledo (7-1 overall record), Oklahoma State (4-2) and Washington (3-4) in Tucson, while losing to Oregon (7-0) on the road, Oregon State (6-0) in Tucson, and Stanford (5-2) on the road. The three losses have each been at the hands of ranked opponents, while the Cats knocked off a nationally-ranked Oklahoma State in the second week of the season. Oh, and UA's opening foe, Toledo, has won seven straight games since leaving Tucson with a season-opening loss on Sept. 1. So now comes No. 10 USC, a team with a 6-1 record and potential Pac-12 and national championship aspirations on the line. The Cats can certainly make another claim at relevancy this week.
Nifty Fifty: Arizona has topped the 50-point mark in three of its seven games to date, something that hasn't been done in a single season at the school since 1954. It's an impressive feat considering how few 50-point games have been for the Wildcats in that span. Including the 59, 56 and 52 points scored in games this year, Arizona has reached the half-century number only 20 times since the 1954 season, boasting a record of 19-1 in such contests (defeat was a 56-55, 3OT loss at California in 1996). Only the 2008, 1998 and 1983 squads put up 50 or more points in a game on two occasions. The 1954 gridiron club defeated New Mexico State (58-0), Utah (54-20) and Arizona State (54-14).
Nothing Negative Here: In a season full of mind-boggling offensive superlatives, it's not points scored, first downs gained or total plays ran that will catch your eye when looking back at Saturday's stats. A deeper look at the stat sheet, notably the defensive page, shows Washington did not record a single tackle for loss. That sounds impressive by itself, but it's actually the first time in 202 games that the Wildcats did not yield a tackle for loss to an opponent. The last such occurrence was in a 19-14 win at Georgia Tech on Sept. 1, 1994. The Cats did lose yardage on one offensive play last week when a pass attempt slipped out of Matt Scott's hands for a fumble and a loss of eight yards. There was no tackle credited, however, since Scott recovered the ball on his own while on the ground.
Pitching a Shutout: Kudos to the Wildcat defense, which shut out Washington in the second half of last week's game. It was the second time Arizona blanked an opponent in the second half this season (beat SC State 56-0 on Sept.15), but it was the first time it has done so against a conference opponent in two years. In fact, the last time the Cats' defense posted a second half zero on the scoreboard was against Washington on Oct. 23, 2010 (44-14 victory).
Sack Attack: Arizona defenders finally found a way to get to the quarterback last week, combining for a season-high four sacks against Keith Price and the Huskies. Sophomore defensive lineman Reggie Gilbert, who missed the Stanford game with an ankle injury, returned with a vengeance by collecting a career-best 1.5 sacks. Sophomore linebacker Hank Hobson shared a half-sack with Gilbert, the second-consecutive game in which Hobson split a sack. Senior end Taimi Tutogi, who doubles as UA's starting fullback on offense, registered his first career sack and had career highs in tackles (3) and tackles for loss (1.5). Junior linebacker Marquis Flowers picked up a sack to push his team-leading tally to 3.5 sacks on the season. Arizona, which went from six to 10 sacks on the season in one game, turned in more than two sacks in a single game for the first time since totaling six against Arizona State on Dec. 2, 2010 - a span of 19 games in between. The Wildcats, who had just three sacks over the first four games, have seven in their last three.
Matinee Matchup: Saturday's 12:30 p.m. kickoff will be an early one for patrons at Arizona Stadium accustomed to 7 p.m. or later starts at each of the first five home games in 2012. In fact, it will be the earliest start to a UA home game since also kicking off at 12:30 p.m. for an eventual 34-27 Homecoming victory against UCLA on Nov. 3, 2007. Arizona Stadium has played host to some memorable afternoon games over the years, with the most notable being a 16-3 upset of then-No. 1 Washington on Nov. 7, 1992. That game kicked off at 1:30 p.m. local time, though on the ABC telecast that day it was in the same 3:30 p.m. ET slot (after the time change, which the state of Arizona does not observe) in which this week's UA-USC contest is set.
Youth Movement: Arizona has played 40 freshmen or sophomores this season, comprising more than half of the nearly 75 Wildcats to see the field. The Wildcats have played 10 true freshmen, the fourth-most of any Pac-12 school and among the top-20 nationally (research courtesy of David Plati at Colorado). With redshirts mixed in, UA has played more than 20 freshmen, most on defense. In fact, the youth movement is most prominent on the defensive side of the ball, where 14 of the 22 players listed on the regular two-deep are freshmen or sophomores. From that group, six of UA's top eight tacklers are freshmen or sophomores, led by safeties Jourdon Grandon (47), Jared Tevis (42) and Tra'Mayne Bondurant (44). Bondurant leads the team with 10.5 tackles for loss.
Matt's The Man: Quarterback Matt Scott, who redshirted in 2011, is putting together a stellar senior season, if statistics are any indication. The Corona, Calif., native entered 2012 with five previous career starts and is now a 12-game starter (8-4 record) as a Wildcat. He possesses a complete repertoire of skills at the quarterback position, including ability to make all the throws on the field and hurt defenses with his legs.
Tracking Matt: Senior quarterback Matt Scott has emerged as one of the most prolific passers in the country in his first full season as a starter. Scott is averaging 336.4 passing yards per game, which leads the Pac-12 and ranks No. 4 nationally. Added with nearly 40 rushing yards per game, Scott is averaging 374.3 yards in total offense per game, which also leads the Pac-12 and ranks No. 4 nationally. Scott, who is averaging 11.8 yards per completion, has the third-most passing plays of 10-plus yards (99) of any quarterback in the country. He also has 34 passes of 20 or more yards, which ranks third-most among FBS quarterbacks. It's all amounts to Scott challenging some single season and career top-10 offensive charts. Here's a look at a few:
- Scott has three of Arizona's top-nine all-time single-game total offense performances (485 at Stanford, 461 vs. Toledo and 432 vs. Oregon State)
- Scott's 2,620 total offense yards in 2012 already rank No. 6 in single-season history. Another 350 yards will move him into the No. 4 spot.
- Scott is one passing touchdowns shy of tying Jim Krohn (1976-79) for the No. 10 spot on the UA career charts.
- Scott (2,355 yards) ranks No. 10 on the school's single-season passing yardage list. He is 166 yards away from moving up to No. 6.
- Scott's 200 pass completions rank No. 7 in single-season history.
- Scott is one passing TDs short of tying for No. 9 in single-season history (currently has 17).
- Scott's 64.3 percent completion percentage would rank No. 5 in single-season history if it were to hold up through season's end.
Carey The Load: Sophomore running back Ka'Deem Carey, a local product out of Canyon del Oro High School, has emerged as UA's featured back and one of the most underrated players in the Pac-12 through the first seven games of the season. Carey ranks fourth in the Pac-12 with 120.3 rushing yards per game and checks in third in all-purpose yardage (154.3 ypg). The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder has 12 total scores (11 rushing, one receiving) to rank second among all Pac-12 players and rank tied for 12th-most nationally. Carey has topped 100 yards rushing five times this season alone, just a year after the Wildcats broke 100 yards as a team only five times in 12 contests in 2011.
More Ka'Deem: While Carey doesn't have the look of a power back, he's a tough, physical inside runner that picks up extra yards after contact. He has a 5.4 yards per carry average, boosted by 24 totes of 10 or more yards, tied for 11th-most nationally. Carey also is an explosive threat in the passing game, where he averages 10.1 yards per reception and ranks fourth on the club with 21 catches for 220 yards. Carey has 11 plays (rushing and passing) from scrimmage that have gone for 20-plus yards, which is tied for 18th-most nationally. His 1,064 yards from scrimmage are 8th-most individually among all FBS players. A season ago, Carey had 191 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns against the Trojans in the Coliseum.
Ka'Deem In Perspective: How good of a season is Ka'Deem Carey putting together? Well, a look at the Pac-12 stats won't do him justice. Carey currently ranks fourth in the conference with 842 rushing yards, narrowly trailing some well-known talents like UCLA's Jonathan Franklin (878), Oregon's Kenjon Barner (870) and Stanford's Stepfan Taylor (846). However, Carey's rushing total would lead all rushers in four other BCS conferences, including the ACC, Big 12, Big East and SEC. No player in those conferences has reached the 800-yard mark this season.
Austin's A-Game: Sophomore receiver Austin Hill is turning in a breakout campaign, highlighted by a career day at then-No. 18 Stanford on Oct. 6. Against the Cardinal, Hill set career highs for receptions (11) and yards (165), while matching his career-best with two touchdowns. UA's most versatile receiver that can play any of the four positions, Hill has become the Wildcats' go-to guy in key situations, evidenced by 30 of his 44 overall receptions (68.2%) resulting in first downs or touchdowns. The Corona, Calif., native is also leading the club in explosive plays, with 12 total receptions going for 20-plus yards, helping him to a team-best 15.4yards per catch. Those 12 20-plus yard receptions rank tied for eight-most nationally. Hill is averaging 96.9 receiving yards per game, which ranks No. 14 nationally and No. 4 in the Pac-12 Conference.
Hill Climbing: Just past the midway point of the season, sophomore receiver Austin Hillis in position to move into some notable school single-season top-10 charts (see page 11 of this release) in the coming games should he remain healthy and productive. Through seven games, Hill has 44 receptions for 678 yards and seven touchdowns. He is 19 receptions shy of matching Dennis Northcutt's 63 grabs in 1998, which holds down the No. 10 spot. From a yardage standpoint, Hill is 238 yards short of Jeremy McDaniel's 916 markers from that 1998 season, also the No. 10 mark. In the touchdowns category, Hill is just one shy of matching five former Cats who share the No. 10 position.
Dan's The Man: In the receiving jamboree, senior Dan Buckner has been overshadowed by youngster Austin Hill, but the upperclassman has turned in a strong campaign. Buckner is tied for the team lead in receptions (44) and checks in second in yards (599), averaging 13.6 yards per grab - also second-best on the squad. With a pair of 100-yard receiving games, Buckner joins Hill (three 100-yard games) as one of three Pac-12 duos with multiple 100-yard games. Buckner is tied for No. 5 nationally with 29 receptions of 10-plus yards. He has 10 over 20 yards.
Taimi Time: Senior Taimi Tutogi, a mainstay as a starting fullback/tight end throughout his career, added the role of a third down pass rush specialist to his list of responsibilities during fall camp. His continued development as a pass rusher came to fruition last week against Washington as he registered his first career sack and set career-highs with three tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. On the season, Tutogi has four tackles, one sack and a fumble recovery, to go with nine receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown on offense.
Welcome Back, J-Wash: Junior defensive end Justin Washington made his first start of the season last week against Washington, but it was nothing new for the Cypress, Texas, native. Washington was a nine-game starter as a redshirt freshman in 2010 when he earned freshman all-america honors from multiple publications. That year Washington finished with 46 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, six sacks and a blocked kick. As a sophomore, he started six games but saw his production drop before injuries limited his time late in the year. He then got off to a sluggish start under the new coaching regime and later faced an indefinite suspension for a violation of team rules in August. He was reinstated to the club in September and has since worked his way up from scout team back to a starting role. Washington's first game action was at Stanford (Oct. 6) followed by the start against the Huskies last week, in which he collected four tackles and helped create some push up front that led to a season-high four sacks for the Wildcats. A 16-game starter throughout his career, Washington has 69 tackles, including 13.5 for loss, along with six sacks at Arizona.
Morrison Breaks One: Junior receiver Richard Morrison, named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week, has been the team's starting punt returner throughout the season, but he had just 10 returns for 63 yards entering last weekend's game against Washington. That changed in a blink of an eye when Morrison took a third-quarter punt to the house for a 63-yard touchdown to double his season tally for return yards and notch his first career special teams touchdown (has four receiving scores). Morrison received some key blocks along the way, including a screen from Mark Watley to allow him to cruise into the endzone for the final 15 yards. The Wildcats saw their punt return average go from No. 86 in the nation (6.3 ypr) to No. 33 (11.5 ypr). It was UA's first punt return for a touchdown since William "Bug" Wright covered 89 yards for a score against Washington State on Nov. 7, 2009, at Arizona Stadium.
A Rarity: Ka'Deem Carey had touched the ball (rush attempt, pass reception or kick return) 332 times in his Arizona career without losing a fumble. In fact, he had fumbled just once (it was recovered by UA) in those 332 touches. But on his first rush of the second half against Washington, Carey fumbled and the Huskies recovered. Fortunately for the Wildcats, Marquis Flowers forced a fumble on the very next Washington play, and Dan Pettinato recovered to give the Wildcats the ball back to set up a touchdown to give them a 38-17 lead early in the third quarter.
Long Drives: Arizona's offense, second in the Pac-12 with a 39.1 points per game scoring average, has produced 34 touchdowns. Of those, 19 have come on drives of 75 yards or longer, with eight covering 80 yards or more. A year ago, the Wildcats cranked out touchdown drives of 75-plus yards on 20 occasions over a 12-game schedule.
A Shot at the South: Arizona opened Pac-12 Conference action with four games against teams from the North Division, and inconveniently the Wildcats were lined up to play Oregon, Oregon State and Stanford over three consecutive weeks. In fact, because of that schedule, Arizona is the only Pac-12 school which will play all four conference teams currently ranked in the AP Top 25 this season. The fourth school is this week's opponent (USC, ranked No. 10), which begins five straight weeks against South Division rivals to close the regular season. So while UA finds itself in a hole with a 1-3 conference mark, it can quickly make up ground in the South Division with some victories against its rivals.
For Starters: After being shutout in the opening period of the first three conference games, the Wildcats enjoyed a 10-3 lead at the end of the first quarter last week against Washington. The pesky first quarter has been troublesome for UA, which is being outscored 38-30 by opponents this season. That could be something to keep an eye on this week as the Trojans have been a dominant first quarter team, outscoring foes 70-31. Second quarters of games have not been much better for USC opponents, as the Trojans own a 91-16 advantage in that period. Overall, it's a 161-47 scoring advantage in the first half of games this season for USC. After halftime is interesting: UA's highest-scoring single quarter has been the third quarter, when it has combined for 90 points against 59 opposing points. Conversely, USC has been outscored 43-21 in the third period.
600-Yard Games: Before the season started, Arizona football games had produced just a dozen 600-yard total offense games by the Wildcats or their opponents. After six weeks, there have already been six such occurrences this season. Arizona rolled up 689 yards against South Carolina State (Sept. 15) and 624 yards against Toledo (Sept. 1), the second and third-most single-game offensive outputs in program history. However, UA's opponents have also notched a pair 600-yard games. Oklahoma State racked up 636 yards in a loss on Sept. 8, while Oregon State totaled 613 yards in a Sept. 29 win. At Stanford earlier this month, both the Cats and Cardinal put up exactly 617 yards.
Big Play Bondurant: Perhaps one of the most underrated defenders in the Pac-12 is "Spur" safety Tra'Mayne Bondurant. The true sophomore has a nose for the football and has proven to be a pest for opposing teams. The Vallejo, Calif., native is fifth on the team with 43 total tackles, but he leads all players and ranks tied for sixth in the Pac-12 with 10.5 tackles for loss. The 10.5 stops behind the line surpass UA's season leader from a year ago, since-departed linebacker Derek Earls, who had 7.0 TFLs. Bondurant, who has four passes broken up and a forced fumble this season, intercepted his first pass of the season last week against Washington, returning it 43 yards to help set up Arizona's second touchdown.
A Budding Star: Converted safety Marquis Flowers continues to develop as a linebacker, a position he was switched to about a week before the start of the season. At 6-foot-3, 221 pounds, Flowers is Arizona's biggest linebacker and ranks as team's leader with 3.5 sacks. Flowers is also second on the squad with 7.5 tackles for loss and second with 48 total tackles. He has added two pass breakups and has forced one fumble. Flowers turned in a pair of big plays against the Huskies last week, collecting one of the team's four sacks and forcing a key turnover. After UA fumbled on its opening possession of the second half, the Huskies had the ball near midfield and were poised to cut the game to a one-score deficit. However, on the first play of the drive, Flowers pressured QB Keith Price and forced a fumble that was recovered by Dan Pettinato. The Cats outscored Washington 21-0 from that point on.
Man In The Middle: Junior Jake Fischer has been a stalwart middle linebacker in Arizona's new 3-3-5 defensive scheme implemented this season by defense coordinator Jeff Casteel. Fischer, who missed the 2011 season with an ACL injury, leads all Pac-12 players and ranks No. 31 nationally with 9.7 tackles per game (58 total). That's just a couple tackles shy of 10 per game for the slightly undersized 6-foot, 215-pounder. Don't tell that to Fischer, though, who has shown a nose for the ball early in the season. Fischer has 3.5 tackles for loss, one pass breakup, two forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries. He was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week following a career-high 13-tackle season debut against Toledo on Sept. 1.
Step Right Up: When Jared Tevis went down with an ankle injury against Oregon State, the Wildcats turned to redshirt freshman Patrick Onwuasor(pronounced oh-WAH-soh). A former receiver who switched to safety during fall camp, Onwuasor (affectionately called "Peanut" by coaches and teammates) saw his first significant duty as a defender after emerging as a playmaker on special teams coverage units early in the season. Onwausor, who has a team-high six tackles on special teams, finished the Oregon State game with eight tackles. He followed that up with eight more tackles and a pass breakup at Stanford, and then five more tackles and a half tackle for loss against Washington in his second career start.
Tevis A Go? The Wildcats have been without one of their top defenders over the last two-and-a-half games since "Bandit" Jared Tevis went down with an ankle injury against Oregon State on Sept. 29. He was listed as questionable for last week's game against Washington, and his status remains to be determined for this week's game. His absence has been felt and his return, whenever it is, will be welcomed. A former walk-on who earned a scholarship after spring ball, Tevis ranked second in the Pac-12 with 42 tackles prior to his injury. He still ranks second on the squad with two interceptions and has added five pass breakups.
Missing Men: Arizona has been without two of its senior leaders along the offensive line over the last several weeks. Center Kyle Quinn and guard Trace Biskin, both graduate students, have 34 combined career starts, but each went down with an injury in late September and have not been available in October. Biskin has missed three starts, while Quinn has missed two. Others have filled in nicely in their absence, notably senior center Addison Bachman and senior guard/tackle Shane Zink, but depth remains an issue. When Quinn and Biskin return to the lineup, they'll not only bring necessary leadership to the O-line, but also give the Wildcats the needed depth for the stretch run of conference play.
Kickin' Kyle: Senior punter Kyle Dugandzic is putting together a strong season, even if he is averaging less than four punts per game. Dugandzic's overall average is a hefty 44.2 yards per boot, with five 50-plus yarders. He ranks No. 3 in the Pac-12 in punting average (44.2), while UA ranks No. 2 in the conference and No. 23 nationally in net punting (39.8). He was named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week (Oct. 1) in a losing cause after a sensational performance against Oregon State that included a career-long 70-yard boomer and four of five total punts landing inside the 20-yard line. In that respect, Dugandzic has placed 10 of his 25 punts inside the 20-yard line and has just one touchback.
Scoring In Perspective: Arizona's 274 points in six games are already challenging some season totals from the past decade. In fact, none of the five UA teams from 2002-06 scored as many points in a season as the Wildcats already have this year. Mike Stoops' first UA team scored 164 points over 11 games in 2004, one season after the Wildcats scored 181 in an 11-game 2003 campaign. To his credit, Stoops' teams steadily improved after the lowly '04 campaign and topped out at 476 points in a 13-game season in 2008. In fact, the 36.6 points per game that season was the second-highest average in program history. The 1954 gridiron squad holds the top mark, a 38.5 per game clip. Rich Rodriguez's first team is sitting at 39.1 with plenty of season still to come.
In A Rush: Arizona has rushed for 100 yards in six of its first seven games in 2012, just a season removed when it did so in just five games last fall. The Wildcats have 1,375 yards on the ground, an average of 196.4 yards per game (No. 3 in Pac-12). That's a significant improvement over last season's 94.5 per-game tally, which finished ranked second-to-last in the Pac-12 and No. 114 nationally. In fact, this year's rushing total (1,375) has surpassed last year's 12-game total of 1,134 yards. Running back Ka'Deem Carey leads the club with 842 yards, while quarterback Matt Scott ranks second with 265 yards. UA's leading rusher a year ago was senior Keola Antolin, who finished his final season at the school with 568 yards.
1,000-Yard Seasons: Ka'Deem Carey is nearing a 1,000-yard season running the ball (842 yards). He's also more than half way (155) toward a 250-carry season, last accomplished by UA school-record holder Trung Canidate, who toted the ball 253 times in 1999 for the 1,602 yards that stand atop UA's single-season rushing chart. Clarence Farmer had 209 carries in a 1,229 season in 2001, the most since. Nic Grigsby had 214 totes for 1,196 yards in UA's 2008 season, the last 1,000-yard rusher. From the yardage standpoint, Carey could become Rich Rodriguez's first 1,000-yard rusher from the running back position since Steve Slaton had 1,051 in 2007 at West Virginia. Rodriguez's only 1,000-yard rusher at Michigan was quarterback Dennard Robinson (2010).
Total Offense: Matt Scott has taken over the No. 11 spot on Arizona's career total offense chart (see page 11 for top-10). He has 4,4,553 yards on 652 plays and trails pro-style passer Jason Johnson (5,285, 1999-2002) for the No. 10 spot. Scott, averaging a remarkable 374.3 yards per game this year, has a whiff of the all-time UA top five in the category, which would take some doing. Passers Nick Foles (9,712 yards from 2009-11), Willie Tuitama (8,727 from 2005-08 and Tom Tunnicliffe (7,336 from 1980-83) head the chart, followed by dual QBs Keith Smith (7,049 from 1996-99), Alfred Jenkins (6,307 from 1983-86), Bruce Hill (6,054 from 1973-75) and Ortege Jenkins (5,577 from 1997-00). Drop-back thrower Dan White (5,312/1993-95) and is also in front of Scott. The only four-year starter on the list is Tunnicliffe, although Smith and O. Jenkins split some duties for three years after Smitty's freshman year, and Krohn put in heavy duty as a freshman. Tuitama started the latter half of his freshman year and the rest of the way in his career. Foles and White were transfers who started three seasons. Scott's basically a one-year starter - 2012 - putting up some real numbers.
Chain Gang: Arizona, which leads all FBS teams with 31.1 first downs per game, has more first downs (218) in seven games than 19 Wildcat teams had in full seasons since Arizona affiliated with the Pac-10/12 in 1978. Tough to think a squad could average 31 per game, but with that amount in the next game the Cats can crack the single season top-five with still four (plus a bowl?) games to go. Extrapolating all the way, it's clear the Cats have a shot at the school mark of 309 first downs by the Nick Foles-led Cats of 2011. Only that club and his junior-year Cats in 2008 had more (308) than 300.
Building for the Future: The Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, scheduled to open in August 2013, marks a dynamic shift in the Arizona football culture as it will become the centerpiece of the program on the north end of Arizona Stadium. Supported by private funds, including significant leadership gifts from David and Edith Lowell and from Jeff and Sharon Stevens, the $72.3 million project will provide the Wildcats with one of the premier football facilities in the nation. The facility will be a four-floor operations center with strength training, sports-medicine, coaches offices, locker rooms, meeting rooms, equipment and facility service areas. The structure will enclose the north end of the stadium and create a full bowl with nearly 4,000 premium spectator seats, including a donor lounge with outdoor seating. Additionally, stairways and elevator towers for the concourse will connect the structure to the existing east and west stadium sections. Restrooms, amenity areas and a cafeteria will also serve the campus community. Arizona Stadium has an official capacity of 51,811 for this season, but once work is completed on the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, the venue will near the some 57,000 seats it has held in recent years.
Up Next: Arizona hits the road for just the third time this season when it takes on UCLA at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., on Saturday, Nov. 3. Kickoff time has been set for 7:30 p.m. (PT) and the game will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks. Thereafter, the Wildcats return home for their annual Homecoming game against Colorado on Saturday, Nov. 10. Kickoff time and television information is expected to be announced next Monday.

Duration: 1hr 23min
Jason Lair is a simple man with a simple wish: a normal life. This isn't an easy goal for the mild-mannered bank employee: Jason is newly separated from his wife, who has left him to care for their six-year-old son Zach while she paints in Nepal, and his ailing grandfather Henry, a former archaeologist close to death, who is investigating alternative rituals for his impending funeral. So when Jason's estranged father and Henry's son, Turner, whose checkered past includes exploits from the musical to the criminal, pays the family an unexpected visit, nothing is "simple" or "normal" in Jason's life anymore. In the coming days, the somewhat reluctant Lair men will embark on a trip not only through the mythic beauty of the Desert Southwest, but across the family's own rocky emotional landscape. Forced together by a deep loss, these very different people find a great deal along the way-devastating secrets, amazing discoveries and, just as Henry wanted--each other.

"Crystal Triangle" is a supernatural adventure OAV. Koichiro Kamishiro is an archaeologist who finds the Crystal Triangle. This item contains a message from God, which will decide the fate of the world, depending on who wields it. He has to deal with a flirty female CIA agent, a renegade Russian archaeologist who is the direct descendent of Rasputin and a tribe of Demons who wish to take back the Earth. Also, who is the mysterious girl named Himeko?
This is an enjoyable popcorn action OAV, although the supernatural elements should have been introduced earlier in the film. The Demon Tribe's appearance feels a bit abrupt. It's also surprising that we don't see any of the other members of the tribe deciding that they like things as they are and rebel. Koichiro has better chemistry with the CIA agent than with Himeko. Honolulu anime fans will find this to be a fun action flick.

SECO, means 'dry' in Spanish. A 'seco' landscape will include elements that require little or no water; Low-water plantings, Artificial turf, Patios/Shade covers. Dry is the new Beautiful in Southern California. Sustainable, beautiful, low-maintenance drought-tolerant landscaping is arguably the most appropriate for our San Diego County yards and landscapes.
San Diego is at the end of the water-supply 'pipe'. Water shortages have arrived, water prices will likely continue to rise. Investing in a beautiful, low-water landscape now is a winner (like buying a Tech stock at the IPO).
Today's landscaping is literally a 'living performance art': it makes sense, adds increasing value, and provides remarkable richness and appeal to your home environment for years to come.
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. One rarely shops for professional landscaping, so the idea of landscaping may seem simple & foolproof. (Sigh) Poor design, wrong materials, faulty construction, bad communication or workmanship... you've heard all these stories, or worse.
It is important to find the best professionals, and start your project off right. That makes your landscape project, from the design, thru the installation, to the outcome and your experience all fantastic.
Begin with a Plan, and your project is guaranteed to be a winner. We cannot stress that enough. Work in cooperation with a Landscape Designer who understands your needs, has real-world experience in design, maintenance, and installation. Your best result comes from starting with getting your desires into the landscape design by a qualified professional.
We are blessed with a unique Coastal Southern California outdoor environment: Comfortable, cool-to-warm temperatures, too-little rain (most years), few bugs/pests and fantastic air quality. With the right new landscape project you will enjoy more time outdoors with family and friends, surrounded by your beautiful custom-designed environment.
The right thing to do. Saving water is not only good for the pocketbook, it's necessary for our environment. Beauty AND low-water can happen in your yard!

Let's forget "Skyward Sword," "Twilight Princess," and "Wind Waker." Let's go old school, back to a time when our handheld, multidimensional consoles were known simply as "Gameboys."
Because their The Legend of Zelda games were, as we used to say in those days, "super duper cool." We said this because we were ten. There are better words to describe them now; words we've forgotten because we haven't played them in forever. But "A Link Between Worlds" seems designed to bring back the desire to. From in-game sprites to items, it's equal parts new adventure and nostalgia.
Let's get to the "new adventure" part first, since what's not to like about becoming a painting? Despite the irony of becoming one-dimensional on a three-dimensional console, this element of the game adds an entirely new layer of strategy and is tons of fun. ("What's that? There are rupees on the far side of this room, across this wide chasm, and I have no Roc's Feather? Well, I'll just turn into art and get them that way!") Not to mention it makes exploring the map feel a lot more fulfilling. In addition to merging, having an energy bar instead of keeping track of how many bombs and arrows you have is pretty convenient. And let's not even get started on the adorable Maiamais.
Now for the nostalgia. I first experienced it only a few minutes into the game, when a girl on a broomstick flew through my screen. Could it have been Maple from "Oracle of Ages" and "Oracle of Seasons," the snarky little witch apprenticed to an older witch, who begrudgingly helps you with your quest? No, it's Irene, the snarky little witch apprenticed to an older witch, who begrudgingly helps you with your quest! So she's basically Maple.
The items also fit into this category. What Zelda-loving child didn't play "Link's Awakening" and spend hours forlornly pacing the shores of the waters they would drown in, trying to find a way to the rupee-laden islands just barely visible in the distance? Do you remember the joy you felt when you first discovered Zora's Flippers? That frustration is back, and so is that joy. Rods are back, too--not for changing seasons, despite the early appearance of one in "Oracle of Seasons," but for fire and ice, like in "A Link to the Past," and with the new additions of the Sand Rod and Tornado Rod.
The world and art style are the most obvious flashbacks of all, however, since the game takes place in the same universe as "A Link to the Past." It's all a familiar map with new secrets (and huge secrets, you discover after you beat the first three dungeons), familiar shops with new items and a familiar art style with new applications.
Wars about which Zelda game is the greatest have been going on since there was more than one game, but I'd dare to say that because of its new elements and its nostalgia--a perfect blend of "A Link to the Past" and the "Oracle" games, with some throwbacks to "Link's Awakening"--"A Link Between Worlds" is the best yet, at least on the handheld front.

You could be getting ready to start. Since you are not regular, I would wait till Dec 4th to test. You could take one now, then another the 4th. Hcg levels increase every 48-72 hrs so if neg it's best to wait that long to take another. You could be pregnant only way to know is take a test. I like EPT and First Response, although I took one from family dollar and it worked fine. Good luck :-)posted 12/01/2012 by JRC89

Trainee Annual Reviews (ARCP)
ARCP stands for Annual Review of Competence Progression and is a formal review of how well a trainee is progressing in relation to their learning agreement for their training programme, as well as assessing their ability to progress to the next level.
About the ARCP
The ARCP is underpinned by appraisal, assessment and annual planning. The process includes the following grades:
- Specialty Registrar (ST)
- Specialty Registrar (ST) - Academic
This can also be confirmed by the suffix 'C' or 'A' at the end of your National Training Number (NTN).
The ARCP records the competencies attained by trainees and their progression through the training programme. Flexible trainees undertake annual ARCPs but their learning agreements will reflect their less than full time status.
The ARCP panel reviews the evidence submitted submitted by the trainee for the period since commencing training or the previous ARCP review. The panel makes its recommendation without the trainee being there. Depending on local LETB / Deanery processes, trainees may be invited to receive feedback and to discuss their outcome and future plans with the panel.
The ARCP replaced the RITA (Record of In-Training Assessment) which is still undertaken by Calman Trainees (SpR).
Download guidance (PDF, 76 KB)
Who does my ARCP?
The ARCP is undertaken by a panel of assessors. Members of the panel may include the Training Programme Director, other members of the relevant Specialty Training Committee, a College representative, a LETB / Deanery representative, an academic representative, an "external" representative or a lay representative.
What happens at the ARCP?
The ARCP panel reviews a trainee's progress based on the evidence submitted and provides the trainee with an outcome. Depending on the local process trainees may be required to submit evidence electronically or provide hard copies.
The panel will let trainees know exactly what they are required to submit. This will include:
- structured reports from their Educational Supervisor
- College Work Based Assessment Forms (via ASSET)
- RCPCH ePortfolio (curriculum entries, development logs, skills logs & PDPs)
- updated registration form (Form R)
The outcome of the ARCP will determine the rate at which trainee's progress through the training programme. If trainees consistently under perform or fail to supply sufficient evidence to ARCP they may be asked to relinquish their National Training Number.
The ARCP also provides a mechanism for determining CCT dates for trainees. For more information on the 8 possible outcomes please see appendix 3 of the Gold Guide.

The Gazette
SPENCER TWP. — Under a small wooden pavilion four young girls sit dressed in long, cotton dresses, their hair pulled back in braids. There's a sea of white canvas tents behind them and the smell of a campfire smoke in the air.
It's a scene from the 1840s, but the girls are talking about Lady Gaga.
The 24th annual Old Northwest Territory Primitive Rendezvous is a nine-day event where participants can escape the year 2010 and return to "a simpler time."
Gary Flegel, the "booshway" or organizer of the Old Northwest Rendezvous, said the event is part of the National Rendezvous and Living History Foundation, a nonprofit organization that organizes Living History Rendezvous all over the country.
"We're trying to keep the spirit of the 1840s alive," he said.
Flegel said the Old Northwest Rendezvous is one of five that will be hosted this year nationwide. He said the location for the rendezvous changes from year to year and this is the second time it has been held in Spencer Township at 10712 Chatham Road. The first time was in 2007.
The event began Friday and runs through Saturday, and Flegel said there are more than 160 people participating.
"We've got people here from Michigan, Virginia, New Jersey, Texas … even Florida," he said. "There are professors, paramedics, professionals, all different folk."
To stay the nine days living life in the 1840s, registrants pay about $55 depending when they register. But Flegel said not just anyone can come out and pitch a tent.
"We have rules and regulations," Flegel said. "Their tents have to be made of canvas … they need to dress in period clothing and modern items need to be out of sight. Most people will go 110 percent to make sure they stick to the period."
Flegel said along with the campsites and vendor tents, there is an archery range and a tomahawk-throwing area, "all activities specific to the time" that stretch across 40 acres.
Shelia Guy, of Alliance, sells pewter and said she has been doing events like the Rendezvous for 27 years. She said it's the community that is built at the events that keeps her coming back.
"It's a small community interested in preserving history with everyone helping and looking out for each other," she said.
Flegel said the rendezvous will have public days 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday with activities like tomahawk- and knife-throwing and 1840s-era vendors.
We invite the public "so they can see this and see how people lived," Flegel said.

It has been tried 43 times, and still no one has managed to defeat Floyd Mayweather. But Miguel Cottoin came reasonably close in the main event at the MGM Grand on Saturday night in Las Vegas. No, Floyd didn't look like vintage Floyd; there will be talk that he has slipped a notch, as just about every round had no runaway winner. But Cotto must be given due credit. His guard was tight, he was composed and intense the whole way through. But the judges had the last word, and they gave the nod to Mayweather, by scores of 117-111, 117-111, 118-110.
Floyd went 179-687, while Cotto went 105-506. Pacquiao fans will note their guy managed to stop Cotto (TKO12), while Floyd didn't.
Afterwards, Larry Merchant said Floyd apologized to him yesterday and he accepted it, so they chatted. Larry said it was a battle royal and Floyd said it is about giving the fans their money's worth. Floyd said Cotto is a tough competitor. "He came to fight," he said. Larry asked him about the jail stint. Floyd said he has accepted it, as a "true man" would. Floyd, asked if he'd fight Manny next, said Bob Arum is stopping a Pacquiao fight. He said he couldn't name another potential foe, as Merchant said Oscar De La Hoya told him Canelo is not ready for Floyd. Could he take less than 60% to Pacman's 40%? Floyd didn't answer, and changed the subject to blood tests.
Floyd hopped down to talk with Jim Lampley and Manny Steward after he chatted with Merchant. He said he gave the fans what they want, noting he is older. He said Cotto is tremendous, and gave HBO props, and said he admitted to Merchant that he was wrong for blasting him after the Ortiz fight. Masterful public relations work, it must be said. As he switched it up in the fight, going to the ropes and the corner, and then staying center ring, he keeps us all guessing, never knowing if he'll drive straight on or swerve a subject.
Mayweather (age 35; living in Las Vegas; 42-0 with 26 KOs entering; led to ring by 50 Cent, the WWE's Triple H and Justin Bieber; seven crowns in five divisions) was 151 pounds, while the WBA junior middleweight champion Cotto (37-2 with 30 KOs; age 31; from Caguas, Puerto Rico; three division champion) was 154 pounds on Friday. They both used 10 oz gloves, the same size heavyweights use, so we wondered how that would influence the event. Robert Hoyle, Dave Moretti and Patricia Morse-Jarman were the judges. As always, we prayed they ate their carrots leading up to the event.
In the first, it was a Floyd feel em out. Cotto had a snappy jab. Cotto looked to be the aggressor, though Mayweather landed a few more, perhaps.
In the second, Cotto picked Mayweather up, and oh no, they touched gloves. Would this thing deteriorate? Cotto kept close, and Floyd was fine with that. He had his back on the ropes, and worked from there. His right hand was working. He slipped and ducked and Cotto had trouble landing clean.
In the third, Cotto's jab worked, but so did Floyd's right. Floyd was 47-26 in punches landed to this point. Floyd worked center ring midway through. In the fourth, in center ring, Floyd landed rights. He stayed off the ropes now. Blood did trickle from his nostril. "C'mon damnit, let's go," Cotto trainer Pedro Diaz said after.
In the fifth, Floyd switched it up, back to the corner. Cotto landed a solid left hook, and the men traded, and the crowd liked it. In the sixth, the blood trickled from Mayweather's nose, from the jab he wasn't slipping or picking off. Cotto was now backing up, of his own volition. Floyd chased him, to not great effect. "That emeffer running," Uncle Roger said after. But it worked, I thought. Harold Lederman had Floyd up 4-2. I had him up 4-1-1.
In the seventh, Floyd wanted to land power rights. It was a tight round, as Floyd wasn't busy and Miguel looked like the aggressor. Blood was present on Floyd's nose. In the eighth, Floyd was back to having his back to the corner. He liked the uppercut in tight. But he wasn't busy enough, I'd guess, in the judges' eyes. The crowd sensed upset.
In the ninth, it was nip and tuck, not much separating the men. Floyd was up 136 to 87 in punches landed, according to CompuBox. In the 10th, the round was tight, as usual. In the 11th, Floyd stayed in the middle of the ring early. He looked to land power rights to the side of the head, as Cotto kept his paws in front of his chin. In the 12th round, Floyd bombed with the right. Cotto got buzzed by an uppercut with a minute left. We'd go to the cards.

Floyd got his *** whooped, Cotto whooped the shyt out of Floyd. I'm a fan of Cotto, no longer a fan of Floyd or HBO and that Illuminati fa_ Sh!_ ya be on. I should've known Floyd was gon get his a$$ whopped when he came to the ring with Justin 'Beiber....for real?!?!? You some shyt....p4p number 3 or 5 maybe.....Cotto beat all that pretty out that @$$. I'd rather watch the youngins in the tournaments in the city than watch HBO. F__K HBO boxing. Andre Ward is the new P4P King in my book. You can give Floyd a draw and it still will look like a stick up. Larry Merchant sold out....it's over. Boxing is dead. Canello is going to bring it back though and props to Shane Mosley for rumbling like a soldier even though he got the worst end he rumbled....respect. Floyd when that heat was on his @$$ it looked a lot like Castillo...yu had no answers. You lost homie....anybody say otherwise is a racist an only rolling with Floyd cause he's black and they Black. It was an old timer behind me who was black was saying Floyd doing this an that, I'm thinking to me self man you must got cateracts?!?! Floyd got bussed up and when he was talking that I'm glad I'm chosen and throwing up those cult signs I said I no longer can get behind this dude but guess what Miguel got his strength from the one true GOD and gave that @$$ a boxing lesson. I know Don Puto if he's still alive is loving this and called good money on this one. Cotto is the top Dog at 154 F--k Mayweather and Pacquiao and Boxing can kiss my ***. I'm going to start following MMA. Dueces
real talk, i scored 4 rounds for cotto with a possible 5th round. he gassed out as expected and floyd won some rounds cotto could have stolen had he had energy...cotto stood flat footed with gloves up w no head movement and floyd landed again and again that right hand behind the glove...why would cotto not adjust? and when he had floyd on the ropes rolling and turning he should have just stayed on the body to score points.....floyd had to work for this win and struggled a bit.. pac and martinez will beat the 35 year old floyd......
Relax Real Talk... much props to Miguel Cotto and he did kick Floyd *** in some of the mid to later rounds but he still lost fight homie. Round 1 could have went either way rounds 2 through I think 6 Mayweather clearly won 7 through 10 was all Cotto but I gave floyd the last 2 rounds. Cotto has one of the best jabs I've ever seen. Floyd was bleeding from the nose like a motherfu*ker had me worried for a minute. At the end of the day it was a great fight we all got our money worth this fight was great for boxing.
No question Mayweather won the fight. Cotto fought a great fight, he brought it to Floyd the way he had to to win. He wasn't going to outbox Floyd so he did what he had to do. I did not put pen to paper and score the fight but I gave Miguel four maybe five rounds. I was a good, close, hard fought fight but Mayweather won. I'd like to see Cotto in with Canelo next. If Miguel fights Alvarez like he fought Floyd last night, I think he beats the kid.
Four or five rds in favor of Cotto sounds about right to me. Great fight though, both guys had to dig deep for this one.
Money May is now one dull dagger, but his groupies, fanboys, floozies, flunkies and nuthuggers will always and forever have much luv for his Floydeligion swagger. Danggit! Too bad that their pugilistic Christ will now be thrown in da Sin City Jail by a bunch of bad Roman haters. He, who has not sinned, cast the first stone. Or is it, "Carry that cross, Money! Carry that Cross!"
Will Money May be able to take his Money Team and bodyguards to Sin City jail with him? Big Bubba is on lock down waiting to show Money May da luv. Hehehehehe! Holla!
I think Mayweather won the fight. @Ali, I think Cotto's jab is really good when he uses it. The problem is that he doesn't use it much. 80% of the time Cotto would walk in without throwing a punch and let Mayweather get off first. Mayweather just kept looping his punches around Cotto's guard. I wanted to see Cotto work his way in behind the jab. Sometime he would throw a jab in the middle of the exchanges which was quite effective. The fighters who will give Mayweather the most trouble are people who either jab often or let their hands go period. Now that Mayweather had trouble last night I think next month Pacquaio is going to have trouble against Bradley so sentiment will come back to Floyd. After next month's fight who else is left for these guys? The 140 guys could move up but not for ppv's. Pacquaio could fight Marquez but that fight will just be the same as the last three. Marquez doesn't match up well with Mayweather. Looks like they may have to fight one another soon. They've run out of opponents.
i think pacman knocks out a game and tough tim bradley...bradley is a young lion but he is made to order for pac ala hatton...he will come forward and pacs speed and power is too much for anyone to takes those shots flush....it will be a good fight but then we will see what we knew..pac is a killer and floyd is a technician....
then these two will never fight and we will all be furious once again
Just so you will know, amayseng. Money May was taught to box by his father in the beginning and now by his uncle in the pros. And I just love correcting syet. Boxing is taught in two ways, academically -- in other words by certified taught teachers of the sweet science -- and by bootleggers from the street, their house, garages, etc., etc.
Money May is not a true technician, but a bootlegged-taught master of the craft, as taught by his father and uncles, who have adroitly made their own boksing syet up. And all respect due, very good, effective syet I will add. See boxing is the last sport that unschooled and untaught people can just start teaching and get very limit requirements of certifications. Money May is the greatest bootlegged-taught boxer of all times. In my opinion, he is the second pound-for-pound greatest of all times in my opinion. Willie Pep is the greatest, of course in my opinion. Holla!
Hey Fe'Roz! Nice post. My take on the fight, etc: When Cotto jabbed, he dominated. When Cotto exchanged, he matched or got the best of PBF. He did neither consistently, though he made a good effort. He fell into the trap of allowing Floyd to feint and potshot - not easy to avoid, but he had the formula - jab strongly, move on toes, and throw to arms and body - thus losing his momentum and his shot at a win. So many stagnant clinches, long breaks from digging rib shots and throwing strong straight jabs - with that formula, the scoring would have been closer, and he would have had a better shot at inflicting even more facial damage than he did. Now - since styles make fights, this does not mean that Pac will have an easy time of it. What it does say is that a good, varied attack behind a strong jab puts one right in close to even with PBF - straightforward intelligent boxing with some pop behind it. Pac's weaknesses and strengths are very different than Cotto's - the lefty stance, the speed and unusual angles, the snappy footwork, the sheer pain of those sharp punches, can throw Floyd off his game far more readily than the straightforward boxing-punching that Cotto did. However, Pac's relatively weak defensive headwork would also make him more vulnerable than Cotto if Floyd's sharpshooting succeeds in blunting his offensive momentum. And don't tell me about Marquez - he threw Pac off his game by constantly changing angles using his feet, NOT Mayweather's strength, as his footwork is rather ordinary at this stage of the game. Many combinations of scenarios lead to very different outcomes in a Pac-PBF fight - none is predictable, because Pac's unorthodox attack and particular weaknesses are wildcards, while Cotto was technically very predictable.
floyd will retire after tasting his blood like that. no pacman fight for sure. great fight. props to floyd for hanging in there. props to cotto. cotto showed the blueprint for beating floyd.
floyd won 7 rounds to 5. close fight. good fight. mayweather hasnt been ruffed up like that ever. ever. floyd retires or takes an easy fight next year then retires. no pacman fight. i dont like floyd but he proved his worth bringing in celebrities and 50 million. pac should take the 40 million or just retire also
I also think Compubox didn't count much of Cotto's body attacks, and his small hooks, jabs, and uppercuts inside. All good. The system, the HBO crew, and many viewers are biased. imo. I had Cotto winning 7 or 8 rounds to 5 or 4 for May. Cotto pushed him on the ropes, and when Floyd tried to push his way back to the center of the ring he was wrestled and pushed and sometimes thrown/grappled back there. Cotto's left hook, body attack, and sudden flurries were effective (as Oscar did). Also the pressure was sustained.
Biggest Cotto fan in the world here but for those who thought Floyd lost, they are being a bit generous in scoring. I had it 116-112 for Floyd but I can see 117-111 or 115-113 as there were some arguable rounds. As for the actual fight. Floyd deserves credit for fighting through some major adversity and closing the show. His 12th round was beautiful. Cotto deserves credit as an up to 7 to 1 underdog, he brought major noise. I also think Pedro Diaz deserves a nod because he designed a very good plan for Cotto. Selective punching, tight defense, stiff jab, a little rough-housing, and major body work made it tough for Floyd. But as it is for most fighters when facing Mayweather, Cotto expended so much energy trying to get good shots on Floyd that he could not finish as strong as he would have liked. Great fight!!!

Alcohol law passed
The Government's controversial Alcohol Reform Bill has passed its final hurdle in Parliament.
The legislation, which will keep the legal age for buying alcohol at 18 after a conscience vote by MPs, passed its third reading by 108 votes to 13.
The new law will also require parents to give express permission for their children to be supplied with alcohol, and alcohol displays and advertising in supermarkets will not be allowed in prominent areas of stores.

It is a sad day for many Ghostbusters and comedy fans as Harold Ramis, who played the character of Dr. Egon Spengler passed away early this morning at the age of 69 in his Chicago home. Ramis died from complications from an autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a rare disease that causes the swelling of blood vessels. He was surrounded by his family at his passing and is survived by his wife Erica, sons Julian and Daniel, his daughter Violet and his two grandchildren.
Many people remember Harold Ramis for his various comedic roles including "Stripes" and most famously Ghostbusters with friend Bill Murray as well as his many famous films in which he wrote and often directed such as "Caddyshack", "Animal House", "Meatballs", "Groundhog Day", "National Lampoon's Vacation" and "Analyze This".
Harold started suffering from the autoimmune disease back in 2010. Ramis will be greatly missed by many who knew him and his films.

Release date: August 1, 2014
Written and directed by: James Gunn
Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Glenn Close, Vin Diesel, John C. Reilly, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, and Bradley Cooper
You know it's crazy when a movie features a talking raccoon and a tree who can only say three words and it's still the best movie of the summer. Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where they can, apparently, do no wrong. Their latest, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a quirky and hilarious riff on a line of comics that at one time was considered a failure. It's weird. It's goofy. But it's also got a lot of heart, a sick twisted sense of humor, and some of the best characters to come along in a long time.
We first meet Peter Quill when he's just a boy, refusing to watch his mother wither away at the mercy of Cancer. Instead he disappears under the headphones of his walkman, loaded with a mixed tape of sweet jams from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, which serves as a pseudo-soundtrack for the flick. The film doesn't remain grounded for long as young Peter abducted by aliens and we catch up with him years (played by Chris Pratt), when he has become a scavenger and outlaw, who yearns to be known as his cool alias, Star Lord. Nobody calls him that.
The story itself isn't anything ground breaking. Quill is thrown into prison with a few other scoundrels and degenerates, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), a green skinned alien who shares a blood line with the bad guys; Drax (wrestler Dave Bautista), a murderous brut with revenge on his mind; Rocket (Bradley Cooper), a gun-toting, foul-mouthed, genetically altered raccoon; and his sidekick, Groot (Vin Diesel), a walking tree with a limited vocabulary. They all find themselves united against common enemies, Ronan (Lee Pace) and Nebula (Karen Gillan), who want to track down the film's macguffin, a mysterious orb that can grant absolute power to anyone who can wield it.
If you don't know these characters now...you will. The cast is incredible in each of their roles, helping to make some of the weirdest characters ever in a comic book movie feel like odd, maladjusted members of your own family. As Star Lord, Pratt continues one of the most unlikely evolutions in Hollywood history. He is perfect in the role, bringing a sharp wit and relatable sadness to the role. Saldana looks better in green and as Gamora, she gets to be a love interest for Quill and a worthy adversary to Nebula, played by former "Doctor Who" companion Karen Gillan.
But the characters everyone will be raving about are the talking raccoon and his tree sidekick. Bradley Cooper voices Rocket, a genetic experiment gone slightly wrong. He's crass, he's rude and has nearly all of the best lines in the movie. His trusty companion is Groot, a lumbering alien tree who says only three words, "I am Groot", and they have an impact every time he says them. They all bring such vivid life to other worldly characters and each actor is given individual story lines and moments to allow their characters to develop.
It would all be for naught if the movie was under the direction of one of Disney's mindless yes-man drones. But with writer and director James Gunn behind the camera, imagination and absurdity are on full throttle. Gunn ("Super", "Slither") isn't a household name -- yet -- but he will be. He was the perfect choice to tackle such an obscure comic book line. The movie is laugh out loud funny from start to finish. The soundtrack, playing through Quill's walkman, adds a strange bit of humanity into a world that seems more like the "Star Wars" galaxy on LSD.
Sure, the effects are fantastic. The action is fun. But it's the story, which establishes a much needed and surprising emotional connection early on, and the actors (see the impressive cast list up top), which make Marvel's gamble truly worth it. Too many studios will see this as an excuse to empty the vault and produce bad movies about bad characters. "Guardians of the Galaxy" works on every level because Marvel and Disney worked hard to make sure they had the right people making creative decisions.
Despite it's space setting, "Guardians" does have ties to larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. The macguffin that everyone is chasing here is one of the infinity stones, which have been featured in "Captain America", "Avengers" and "Thor: the Dark World". The film also features Thanos (Josh Brolin), who was seen briefly in the mid-credits scene at the end of "Avengers". He's like the Emperor from "Star Wars", still playing puppet master here, trying to collect the infinity gems so he can cause trouble for the whole universe down the road.
Either your wildest comic book nerd dreams are about to come true or your worst nightmares about to be realized. "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a hell of a ride and if Marvel has their way, by the time 2018 rolls around (the projected release of "Avengers 3"), you're going to see Robert Downey, Jr. sharing the screen with a talking raccoon...and you'll be thanking them for it. The gamble, at least this time, has paid off.
Running time: 121 mins.
MPAA rating: Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language

Today we will be looking at Kimba Wood an American Federal judge for the Southern District of New York. Kimba was named after the Kimba, South Australia. EducationKimba Wood holds a M.Sc from the London School of Economics which she obtained in 1966. During this time she worked as a Playboy Bunny. She then earned her J.D. in Law from the Harvard School of Law. It is to be noted is that there were less than 20 women graduating in her class 1969.
Kimba Wood has been married three time. Here first marriage was to Robert (Bob) Lovejoy, a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell in 1970, her second marriage was to Time magazine political columnist Michael Kramer in 1982, her current husband is Wall Street financier and former Harvard Law School classmate Frank E. Richardson . She was named the other woman is the bitter divorced of Richardson and his wife Nancy.
The Nannygate incident
Kimba Wood was President Clinton's second choice as the first woman United States Attorney General. Like her predecessor Zoe Baird, she too had hired an illegal nanny. In her defense,she did pay all the required taxes.This was done at a time in US history when it was still legal hire illegal aliens. However, position for the first woman United States Attorney General was then filled by Janet Reno.
On feminism
'On November 19, 2010, Judge Wood received media attention via The Atlantic online magazine regarding a letter from Bennet M. Epstein, an attorney who asked for time off to attend his grandson's bris, if indeed the baby is a boy. In a response to Epstein, Judge Wood wrote that Epstein would be permitted to attend the bris, but that "if a daughter is born, there will be a public celebration in court, with readings from poetry celebrating girls and women.
Epstein responds to Kimba Wood's decision
"Apparently, like me, Kimba Wood recognizes the unfairness in making a big fuss over a Jewish boy's birth, but seeing a Jewish girl's birth as a lesser event."

YOLO! The Oxford dictionary, in their most recent inclusion of words and phrases popularized by vogue fads, pop-culture and Internet slang, has formally made a place in their uppity word annals for such trendy entries as YOLO, binge-watch, side-boob, bedroom tax and douchebaggery.
We don't mean to humblebrag, but the August update to OxfordDictionaries.com is bare good and nailed on to interest and impress you. Throw an air punch or have a bro hug (don't be cray and throw shade or show us the side-eye); be a baller and join the hyperconnected vocabulary fandom and read on to discover which new words from the worlds of popular culture, technology, the news, and more have been added to OxfordDictionaries.com.
We'll admit, we have little to no idea what the above paragraph means, but then again, most of our writing team here at Examiner is kick'n it old school. (See? Journalists can be wicked cool too – and yes I know I've just dated myself).
Oxford does try to keep their dictionaries somewhat separate. Sort of like 18th century gents in the parlour with their brandy and cigars versus teens talking in a mall food court.
Explains the Washington Post:
That's right: "YOLO" ("you only live once") is in the Oxford online dictionary. That's not to be confused with Oxford's tonier, more exclusive cousin, the Oxford English Dictionary — the bound and more tightly edited dead-tree format. But it's still something, right?
Oxford explains their process of considering new words:
Our most important resources are the Oxford English Corpus and the Oxford Reading Programme. The Corpus consists of entire documents sourced largely from the World Wide Web, while the Reading Programme is an electronic collection of sentences or short extracts drawn from a huge variety of writing, from song lyrics and popular fiction to scientific journals. It's based on the contributions of an international network of readers who are on the lookout for instances of new words and meanings or other language changes ... New terms have to be recorded in a print or online source before they can be considered: it's not enough just to hear them in conversation or on television.
So knowing that, we now have a list of acknowledged words that include the following:
Amazeballs – Extremely good or impressive; amazing
Anti-vax – Opposed to vaccinations
Binge-watch – Watch multiple episodes of (a television program) in rapid succession, typically by means of DVDs or digital streaming
Bro-hug – Another term for men hugging
Clickbait – (On the Internet) content, especially that of a sensational or provocative nature, whose main purpose is to attract attention and draw visitors to a particular web page
Cray – Crazy
Doncha – An informal contraction for don't you
Douchebaggery – Obnoxious or contemptible behavior
Fratty – Characteristic of a student fraternity or its members (often with reference to rowdy behavior)
Hench – (Of a man) strong, fit, and having well-developed muscles
Hot mess – A person or thing that is spectacularly unsuccessful or disordered
Hot mic – A microphone that is turned on, in particular one that amplifies or broadcasts a spoken remark that was intended to be private
Listicle – An article on the Internet presented in the form of a numbered or bullet-pointed list
Mansplain – (Of a man) explain (something) to someone, typically a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing
Neckbeard – A growth of hair on a man's neck, especially when regarded as indicative of poor grooming
Pogonophobia – Extreme dislike of beards (no doubt because of seeing too many neckbeards)
Side boob – the side part of a woman's breast, as exposed by a revealing item of clothing
SMH – Shaking (or shake) my head (used in electronic communication to express disapproval, exasperation, frustration, etc.)
Spit take – An act of suddenly spitting out liquid one is drinking in response to something funny or surprising
Trigger warning – A statement at the start of a piece of writing, video, etc. alerting the reader or viewer to the fact that it contains potentially distressing material
WDYT – What do you think? (used in electronic communication)
Zonkey – The hybrid offspring of a donkey and a zebra
The above terms join previous Oxford entries of selfie, twerking, bathroom break, OMG!, THX, and LOL. We're not telling you what they mean, because come one, you've had at least a year to learn them.

The country's interim president warns Muslim and Christian groups involved in deadly violence: "The party is over".
16:20, UK, Tuesday 21 June 2016
The "anarchy" in the Central African Republic between rival Christian and Muslim groups is over, the country's interim president has said.
Alexandre-Ferdinand Nguendet said during a speech at police headquarters: "To the ex-Seleka, to the anti-balaka and the lovers of looting, I'm giving you a severe warning: The party is over."
The Seleka rebels, who are mostly Muslim, brought the country's former president Michel Djotodia to power in March.
Mr Djotodia, the first Muslim leader in the majority Christian country, stepped down on Friday along with Prime Minister Nicolas Tiengaye.
His time in office was beset by violence. More than 1,000 people have been killed in the last month.
It is hoped Nr Djotodia's resignation will ease tensions in the state.
Thousands of soldiers and police have deserted their posts in recent months because they fear reprisals from the Seleka.
Some joined the Christian anti-balaka militia, which was formed to fight against the Seleka.
On Monday, hundreds of soldiers were seen returning to their posts in the capital Bangui by the AFP news agency.
It came after chief of staff General Ferdinand Bomboyeke urged troops to return to their barracks.
Colonel Desire Bakossa, who supervised the registration, told AFP: "They came in very large numbers and they're still coming.
"They answered the general's call. It's a relief. It's a very good sign."
Centres for police officers to register have also been set up in Bangui.
France has so far deployed 1,600 soldiers to help support the African Union MISCA force.
The CAR gained independence from France in 1960.

On behalf of the board of directors and staff of The LeeShore Center, I would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to the many community members, businesses and service agencies who generously donated their time and assistance to our agency during 2012.
I feel a need to warn all of my fellow citizens of a scam that is going around.
I received a phone call from a person who sounded like my grandson. After the niceties of 'How are you, etc.', he asked me if I knew who I was talking to. I told him 'Yes', and gave him my grandson's name.
The change in history in the last 75 years as I recall has been dramatic. This has affected my grandchildren as it has millions of today's children. In my time, we came home to do chores. Today they come home, turn on the TV and play games. Games that years ago were simple, to the games of today which are very violent and destructive so after a while, young people become immune to the violence built into the games.
The LeeShore Center sends our sincerest thanks to the Kenai Piecemakers quilting group for the beautiful handmade quilts they recently donated to our agency. This is an annual event we all look forward to and is a gift that keeps giving all year round. This year the quilting group donated 61 quilts in addition to a pillow case! Each child residing at our emergency shelter and transitional living facilities gets to choose their very own special quilt. We are able to see the impact their kind gift brings to the many children we serve each year.
Let's help the federal government, with the debt problem. Seventy percent of Alaska is owned by the federal government. At a recent town hall meeting, State Senator Cathy Giessel stated, if Alaska was a sovereign nation we would be tenth in the world in our natural resources. A Washington Post reporter suggested the federal government sell Alaska (Dec. 14, To Solve Our Debt Problems, Let's Sell Alaska).
I am sure China would be interested in purchasing Alaska. More gold left in the ground than has been taken out. Untold mineral resources. Fish to feed their growing population.
So this is my question, is there a war on Christ-mas or not? Just who is waging this war and for what reasons? I have a few ideas on this topic that always arises each year at the nearing or during the Winter Solstice in December around the 21st-25th. Is this really about worship of the Christ child's birth, or the worship of the sun, or is it about Santa and giving of gifts? Or is it about all three and why or how can that be?
I have some real concern that Central Peninsula Hospital is now attempting to become a landlord under this ordinance 2012-19-41. The assembly needs to ask themselves the following questions:
1. What type for precedent is this setting for future and current medical providers? Is CPH now going to purchase all medical providers a building and remodel? Does this include current and future medical providers?
2. How many people are going to lose jobs because this medical provider wants CPH to purchase a building in Soldotna and upgrade it at a cost of $700,000?
I appreciate the sports pages of the Clarion, better reporting than the Anchorage Daily News. The golfing news and other commentary by Nolan Rose is clever. Thanks!
Once again Governor Parnell and the Republicans are blaming the teachers for the failure of our public education system and your children's performances. How about really investing in your children by bringing the system up to the 21st and 22nd century by computerizing the schools?
Growing up on a farm in northern Iowa during the Depression, almost every farm house had guns. We had a real neat very small .22 cal. rifle which I used when first hunting rabbits. My older brother used a single shot 12 gauge shot gun. I was about 11 years old and while going around the fence rows, I got the first shot and my brother took care of my misses. We skinned them out and hung them in our entry room to the house, it was our freezer during the winter and Mom could just go out and grab a couple when she needed meat for dinner.
