Kate Middleton and Bild are causing international uproar after the German tabloid newspaper published a picture of Kate's bare bottom. While Bild is known for publishing bare bottom pictures of anyone, one would expect that Kate would dress more royally; especially when being around helicopters. Or should she? As reported by the British NDTV on May 27, the Duchess of Cambridge's summer dress was lifted by a gust of wind when she and William got out of a helicopter in the Blue Mountains, which is located about 50 miles west of Sydney.
While most American papers are blurring out Kate's bare bottom photo, Bild is publishing it without any edits. So if you are anxious to see the picture, click on Bild's link above.
Quite interestingly, both Kate and Bild are in trouble. Last year in February, the Duchess of Cambridge was in Canada when wind also lifted her dress and revealed her bare bottom. Of course, Bild included that photo also. Following the incident, the 88-year-old queen ordered Kate to wear some and more appropriate panties. Whether or not William's wife was wearing any panties in Australia is hard to judge by looking at the picture. If she wore any kind of thongs, they did not cover anything. Apparently, Queen Elizabeth's attempt to change her granddaughter-in-law's fashion style failed.
Unlike Bild's action of publishing the photo, other German newspapers are asking if Bild has gone too far this time. However, German and Australian newspapers are also pointing out that Queen Elizabeth and other royals have weights in the seams of their dresses that prevent such an embarrassing incident.
While Kate is in trouble for not putting weights into her dresses and for wearing any, or insufficient panties, Bild is in trouble for publishing the picture despite a ban imposed by the British media not to show any such pictures. Of course, after Bild ignored the ban, one of Rupert Murdoch's Australian newspapers published the photo on Wednesday.
The photographer who took the picture of the Duchess' bare bottom didn't realize at first what she had on her camera. Diane Morel is not part of the paparazzi but is a local Blue Mountains photographer. As a local photographer, she was there when Kate and William arrived in Blue Mountains, and she took pictures of the couple. At home, Morel was about to delete some of the pictures when she realized what the wind had revealed.
"It wasn't until I got home and I popped my camera card into the computer that I realised what I had captured," said the 47-year-old hobby photographer. She is vowing that any money raised from the sale of the photo will benefit Australia's bushfire relief fund. During their tour of Australia, Kate and William toured the scene of the 2013 devastating Australian bushfires that had destroyed more than 200 homes.
In contrast to Bild, Kate Middleton's bare bottom picture was not published in Britain. NDTV reports that The Daily Telegraph said that British newspapers refused to run the photo "out of respect to the royals." Other British commentators, however, find the ban on intimate royal pictures outdated and "an antiquated code of etiquette." Telegraph social writer Annette Sharp commented that "it seems a bit ridiculous to expect the rest of the world's media to follow suit, particularly in a world in which flesh and commercialism go hand in hand."

When I opened the package my first thought was 'what a rip-off'. It was a small format book with relatively few pages. Then I looked inside.
This book is a mine of really useful information with lots of suggestions of how to move your work forwards. I now tend to take it everywhere in my bag and get it out for a quick dose of inspiration now and again. Fantastic.

Flash Review 2, 9-24: Pink in the
Green, Art in the Gray
Motives Golden, Dance Not in Pink Carolina
By Byron Woods
Copyright 2001 Byron Woods
DURHAM, North Carolina -- "Pink Carolina,"
the latest fundraising effort from the Pink Ribbons Project, produced by PR co-founder
Jane Weiner, raised over $50,000 for the fight against breast cancer in a one-night
stand Thursday at Durham's Carolina Theater. More remarkably, it did so one week
after the catastrophes of Pennsylvania, Washington and New York. The terror attacks
effectively truncated a ticket drive among the Triangle's well-heeled -- the ostensible
target audience for the gala's $75 seats. Disrupted airline service in the disaster's
aftermath threw transportation plans for artists and a technician from New York
and Texas into disarray, resulting in one program change. Weiner replaced a scheduled
appearance by her Houston-based group, Hope Stone Dance, with a solo performance
of her own.
So, resolved: It was far from the
easiest of weeks in which to merely carry on, much less stage a dance concert.
Unfortunately, this showed in the evening's performances. If the motives behind
this benefit were golden, in large part the dance was anything but.
Uneven selections from the region's
dance community were one compromising factor that had nothing to do with the traumas
of the prior week. The local coordinators' knowledge of the regional dance scene
seemed spotty at best, with disappointing results at times.
Former Pilobolus dancer Carol Parker
gave a strong reading of "Negro Spirituals," Helen Tamiris's historic suite of
solos from the 1920s through the 1940s. Regional audiences have grown familiar
with it since Parker has already presented it, in whole or part, several times
in her infrequent public performances over the past two years.
But Rebecca Amis's Whirlwind Dance
Company is generally not regarded in the forefront of this region's modern dance
groups. Her workmanlike "Open Hearted," set on her ten-person Whirlwind Dance
Company, proved as inoffensive -- and as unsubstantial -- as its accompanying
new age jazz soundtrack by Andreas Vollenweider.
And while it's usually refreshing
to see Gene Medler's undersung North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble, an aggregate
of high school hoofers who regularly tour the U.S. and Europe, this performance
clearly caught them in a period of transition, at the start of a new school year,
just after the departure of graduating seniors.
Jefferey Kazin's reprise of David
Parker's "Hind Legs" revived that amusing and astonishing exercise in balance
and recombined gender cues from the initial "Pink Ribbons" concert in New York
in 1995. Lisa Race was also in that initial concert, in David Dorfman's "Approaching
No Calm." Here, her solo piece "Three Wishes" came off comparatively formless,
and never seemed to build on Amy Denio's music.
Weiner's solo, "Night Moves," was
a section from Mark Dendy and Lawrence Keigwan's uneven "Classic Suite: Rock and
Soul," a changing cycle of works set to rhythm and blues and rock and roll masterpieces.
Here, Dendy and Keigwan's solo seems at times devoted to physically representing
every vocal tic in Nina Simone's rendition of "Ne Me Quittez Pas" and "I Put a
Spell on You," and Joni Mitchell's late revisitation of "Both Sides Now." Weiner's
rendition of these petit and grand mal seizures of the heart took on a strangely
mechanical air at times, before Louisville Ballet dancers Dale Brannon and Elizabeth
Hartwell's decidedly earthbound Soir d'Ete from the "Daphnis and Chloe."
It was announced from the stage that
the dancers had donated their work and time to this worthy cause. That, of course,
is laudable. And the concert was produced, at the last, during fundamentally challenging
It bears noting, though, that our
times will most likely remain just as uncertain for the foreseeable future. What
shall we do with standards, then, for the duration of this alleged war-time? With
the debt we owe our craft? Our fellow artists, and humans? Ourselves?

Wieking Named to Fred Mitchell Award Watch List
Watch List for the Fred Mitchell Award was announced today and includes 44
Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), Division II, III, National Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and National Junior College Athletic
Association (NJCAA) collegiate placekickers. The individuals were nominated by
their colleges for excellence on the football field and in the community.
University of Sioux Falls kicker Braden Wieking was one of 11 DII
student-athletes named to the 2012 watch list. He was also a finalist in 2010
and 2011.
The Award's Selection Committee Chairman Chris Kearney said, "These place-kickers are terrific on the football field and off the field representing their schools, their football teams, their conferences, their communities, their families and themselves. We look forward to following their accomplishments during the next few months."
A senior this fall, Wieking was second (53 pts) on the squad in scoring in 2011, when he converted 8 of 12 FG's and 29 of 32 PAT's. Last season he led the Cougars with a game-high 13 points against Black Hills State, converting three of three FG attempts including a season-high 37 yard FG. Wieking also demonstrated consistency from the tee where he averaged 60 yards on 50 kickoffs in last fall. He enters 2012 season with 309 points ranking 2nd in school history among kickers and 7th overall. He has also been USF's nomination for the AFCA Allstate Good Hands Team. Wieking is a Sioux Falls Fellowship of Christian Athletes volunteer and Group Huddle Leader on campus. He is also an active Habitat for Humanity and Vacation Bible School volunteer.
Fred Mitchell said, "It is a pleasure to include these fine young men on the Watch List for this Award. We are delighted to recognize them based on outstanding performance in the community and expectations going into the 2012 college football season. It is also a thrill to see so many familiar names on the Watch List, including 22 place-kickers that were finalists for the Award last season."
The breakdown of the 44 place-kickers is as follows:
- Collegiate Division - 16 FCS, 11 Division II, 14 Division III, 0 NAIA and 3 NJCAA
- State - the place-kickers play at schools located in 25 different states, five play at schools in Pennsylvania
- Year - 23 Seniors, 14 Juniors, 7 Sophomores
- Fred Mitchell Award Finalists in 2011 that are on the 2012 Watch List - 22
Click here for a complete watch list including player biographies.
About the Fred Mitchell Award
The annual Fred Mitchell Outstanding Place-Kicker Award (also known as the Fred Mitchell Award, www.fredmitchellaward.com) is provided to the nation's top collegiate place-kicker among more than 750 FCS, Division II, III, NAIA and NJCAA football teams. The Award is named for Fred Mitchell, the record-setting place-kicker, Wittenberg University Athletic Hall of Famer, author, philanthropist and Chicago Tribune sports columnist. The recipient of the Fred Mitchell Award will be chosen based on excellence on the football field and in the community. The Award's Watch List is released in August, top performers are recognized monthly during the college football season, and the winner (who is not required to be on the Watch List) is announced in mid-December. The school of the Award winner receives scholarship funds and the Fred Mitchell Award trophy will be presented in February 2013 at the National Football Foundation Chicago Metro Chapter Awards Ceremony at Halas Hall.
A blue-ribbon Selection Committee (listed at www.fredmitchellaward.com) evaluates place-kickers that are nominated by their schools. Members of the Pro and/or College Football Hall of Fame on the Selection Committee include Tom Beck, Kevin Butler, Paul Hornung, Marv Levy, Steve McMichael, Don Pierson and Gale Sayers. Former football players and others that are active in their communities are also on the Selection Committee including Carl Allegretti, Sean Gothier, Teddy Greenstein, Michael Husted, Dan Jiggetts, Rick Kolaczewski, Connie Kowal, Greg Loberg, Tom Lynch, Carol Monroe, Jeff Michalczyk, Mark Murphy, Rob Perry, Jeff Schebler, Caroline Schrenker, Jay Sebben, Bob Thomas, Wolfe Tone, Todd Wilkins, Gary Zauner and Rob Zvonar. There are 10 former college or NFL place-kickers on the Selection Committee, including Schebler (the inaugural Fred Mitchell Award recipient in 2009 and the highest-scoring place-kicker in NCAA history at any level) and Lynch (two-time recipient of the Award and the kicker on the 2011 NAIA National Champion Saint Xavier University Cougars).

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN; 18 February 1836; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18360218-TC-JCA-01; CL 8:302-304.
5. Cheyne Row Chelsea / 18th feby 1836—
My dear Jean,
I must write you a brief word tonight; and very brief it must be, considering what O'clock we are at.
The day your Letter came, I proceeded to make inquiries about Corrie's1 Kinsman. As you would notice by the Newspaper, I found out both that he had been here, and that he was here no longer. Archdeacon Corrie,2 it was told me, is a most worthy man, who has done much good in India; in consequence of which they have justly made him Bishop Corrie, and he sailed, with that title, to Madras, last july, where he must be arrived before now. It appears farther that he has two Brothers in this country (both in the English Church; one of them at Oxford3) and also a Sister, who was with him in India, and is now married at Leamington in Warwickshire.4
If Corrie still think it worth while to write to the Bishop, it can still be done; tho' Dumfries is now as near him as London is. Mr Clyde or Mrs Clyde5 could easily perform it for him; the address will be: "The Right Revd Bishop Corrie of Madras, India"; and the Postmaster will easily explain how it can be sent.— It strikes me that poor Corrie will not do this; and yet that perhaps he ought. I would have written myself to one of these English Corries, had I known any particular that I could distin[ct]ly specify; but except the name "John Corrie of Braehead"6 (somewhere in Nithsdale, as I guess), there was nothing I could found a question on. I ought to know the name of the Bishop's Father7 and in or near what Parish or District he and the old man of Braehead8 dwelt (the approximate dates &c &c were also good): I could then ask this English Corrie, "was your Brother the Bishop such and such a man, that made inquiry about &c?9 In that case I have to answer that there is a John Corrie, so and so situated; and leave you to impart the same to your Brother, and do what else is good."— I rather incline to think it will still be worth while for me to do this; the rather if poor Corrie grow unwell, and get into straits.10 I am truly sorry to hear he is threatened that way; pray advise him, aid him, all that you can. If it be judged expedient then, send me these facts (the names and Parishes, at all events; the person's name of whom the Archdn made inquiry, and when he made it, were also usefu[l]); and I will most willingly write.11 Tell Corrie this; and charge him well to take care of himself, and good may yet await him. Drink, above all things, as the detestablest invention of Satan ever sent to this Earth, I do hope he avoids, and will forever avoid, as the poison of body and soul. Poor fellow! But he must get strong again, and recover himself out of this sickliness first of all.
I have just been writing to Alick. The note James sent on the Paper was very sorrowful for me; I had not minded your announcement (tho' it now seems there was one) that the poor little creature was ill. It will be a sore grief to both of them; I remember the poor little lassie well, and reflect (as one does in those cases) that the little figure of her has vanished mysteriously fr[om t]his Earth forever.— To my Mother I must send a small scrape of the pen tomorrow. I know not rightly where she [is] at present; most probably about Annan.— Jane kind[ly] salutes both James and you; she is rather better than she was[.] Thomas Carlyle's12 hand was on the back of the last Letter: pray give him my kind remembrances, and tell me (or bid him tell me himself) how he gets on. Above all, let him be a good B[oy.] [page torn] always (my dear Sister) with affection,— T. Carlyl[e]

The Inside Tucson Business has been running a great series of stories picked from the last 20 years of the Tucson area's business stories. The sad thing is the lack of true change. Development Services, headed by longtime bureaucrat, Ernie Duarte, is still a roadblock to many a small business owner in Tucson. Go to talk to CeeDee's Jamaican Kitchen(just opened a few months ago) on Speedway and Swan about the hell they dragged him through. It took him about 18-20 months to open a restaurant that was previously a restaurant!
You take this department's pathetic track record and combine with things like extortion payouts to Skrappy's and $5,000 Temporary Revocable Easement application fees for signs and you really did earn the Arizona Small Business Survey's(2008, link) ranking as Arizona's unfriendliest municipality to operate a business in.
From insidetucsonbusiness.com:
" City working to streamline development review process. In response to the development community, the city of Tucson is revamping its Development Services Department.
June 28, 1999
"This move brings the city's review process to the next level," said City Manager Luis Guitierrez. "It'll bring substantial efficiency, customer service and predictability to plan reviews."
The Development Review Center was first conceived in the mid-1980s as a way to bring together all reviewers from the various departments involved, (such as solid waste, water, fire, planning and engineering) into a single facility. Before that, anyone applying for a building permit would have to go from building to building and to the various departments to have a plan reviewed.
Now: The City's development services department has long been scrutinized by the business community. This move was helpful to speed things along, but it remains an issue with the development community."
Memo to City Council: Fix the basics out there to help the small biz owner and then stay out the way. Screwing the true base of your economy(they employ most of the citizens) while thowing money to the glory-hogging wimps over at TREO is helping to steer your city into the toilet.
I know having martinis with Snell, Welsh and now Guymon is a little more glamorous, but roll up your sleeves and actually make it happen for small business. You'll be glad you did.
From the Inside Tucson Business Blog.
TREO hires MPA's executive director
"Effective Nov. 15, Metropolitan Pima Alliance Executive Director Michael Guymon is leaving to become Vice-President for Regional Development for Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities (TREO).

His career experience includes both the public and private sectors as former Chief-of-Staff to Tucson City Council Member Fred Ronstadt and political consultant to a number of downtown area development projects.
The MPA Board of Directors will be responsible for hiring a new executive director."
While TREO has lots of different issues(taking credit for work they didn't do, for one of them), their biggest problem is being content selling a broken region. Yes, I know that the City and County still give them a big hunk of taxpayer dough. Yes, I know that Mayor McCheese and Sharon Bronson sit on their board. TREO's lack of courage in telling these folks that they have an "ugly baby" is part of the reason that Tucson is slowly becoming an economic Katrina. When Raytheon picked Alabama over Tucson, TREO didn't even bother to tell their board member, former Raytheon engineer and head cheerleader in chief, Mayor Bob.
The geniuses at TREO got together and said: "Let's hire a Governmental Relations Director!". It's a good idea, but needs to have an independent guy/gal, with some guts to tell the truth on how to fix Tucson/Pima County for business. Especially small business.
So who does TREO hire: Michael Guymon, from the Metropolitan Pima Alliance. Yes, that Michael Guymon.
1) The man who is a paid consultant for Garfield Traub to help shove the Downtown Hotel down the taxpayer's throat.
From the Arizona Daily Star (Rob O'Dell, March 30th 2010)
"Among those expected to have some say in whether the hotel will be built:
–Michael Guymon
The former City Council aide was a paid lobbyist for the company when it was trying to win the hotel bid and after it was selected.
He later became executive director at the Metropolitan Pima Alliance, whose members include businesses, developers and governments. The organization, which calls itself, "your voice for reasonable and responsible development," is expected to make a recommendation on whether the hotel should be built.
Guymon said he disclosed his relationship with Garfield Traub before he took the job and says his contract is basically completed, although he said he will still earn a bonus if the hotel is approved."
2) The man who sits on Museum of Contempory Arts board, which magically received a $1/year rent at the Fire Station #1 on Church street.
"The purpose of the press conference was to expose a sweetheart deal between the City Council and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), in which MOCA was given a five-year lease of the old Fire Station One for only $1-a-year. This is a facility worth millions of dollars and will require yearly maintenance costs in the six figures and more than $80,000 in upgrades."
(check the previous post on the deal: http://tucsongrowup.com/2009/10/)
No doubt Guyman's insider connections at the City of Tucson will help ensure funding and relationships remain in tact. Over at the County, Guyman doesn't have the juice. He's not from the Grijalva or Eckstrom camps so it's going to be tough. In Oro Valley and Marana, if they are smart, they'll tell the Tucson centric TREO to hang out on the sideline and bring out the water bottles during the time outs.
Great move TREO, kudos to your organization on remaining the ineffective organization that you've evolved into. Give Joe Snell a raise while you're at it.

I figured that I can create a deterministic "random" numbers generator by utilizing a bit of "magic" that I picked up from some cryptography. However I seem to have missed a detail.
Basically the function $\displaystyle f(n) = p^n \mod q$ should for $\displaystyle n$ in the range $\displaystyle [1,q-1]$ produce all the numbers in the same range, but in a scrambled order, however that is only true for some pairs of $\displaystyle p$ and $\displaystyle q$.
How exactly do I find and verify such pairs?
I now know why I missed that detail, I'm think my computer will be done finding a few suitable number pairs by brute force long before I will be done understanding a more efficient approach.
I think I'll run two of these generators in tandem, using their sum mod limit to generate a number in the field $[0;limit-1]$. For each pair I'll choose $q$ close to 2^32, $p$ close to 2^16, and assert that $p$ is prime, $q$ is prime, $(q-1)/2$ is prime and that $p$ is a primitive root of $q$.
Thanks for your input, but I'll leave the question open to anyone who can explain a computationally efficient method of asserting primitive rootness status of two numbers in a way that I understand.
I have found the pairs 65539 (mod 4294967087) and 65537 (mod 4294965887), this gives the following JavaScript function:
function seed(state1,state2){
var mod1=4294967087
var mul1=65539
var mod2=4294965887
var mul2=65537
function random(limit){
return (state1+state2)%limit
return random

Tech Closes Home Indoor Slate With Strong Showing
Red Raider senior Jorge Garcia won the men's shot put Friday at the Red Raider Open.
Feb. 15, 2014
Red Raider Open Complete Results | Tyson Invitational Day 1 Results
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech track and field program hosted its final home meet of the 2014 indoor season Friday inside the Athletic Training Center.
The Red Raiders and Lady Raiders welcomed a handful of teams from across the region in the one-day meet, and turned in several impressive performances.
"I was pleased with the meet," Texas Tech head coach Wes Kittley said. "A lot of our younger group had a chance to compete at home, and better their marks for the conference meet."
Early on the track, freshman Lady Raider Kayla Coley advanced to the finals of the women's 55-meter hurdles where she finished fourth overall with a new season-best time of 8.21 seconds.
Meanwhile, Lady Raider Madeline Livergood continued her strong season clocking a season-best of 5:11.89 in the women's mile run to finish fourth overall in the competition. She was followed by teammate Chelsea Scott in sixth who clocked a season-best of 5:20.54.
Natalie Thompson followed with a third place finish in the women's 800-meter run crossing the finish line with a season-best time of 2:18.45. She was followed by teammates Lauren Jackson in 10th (2:25.68), Madeline Raney in 17th (2:30.32) and Audrey Alambar in 24th (2:35.82).
Also in the distance events, the Lady Raiders took three of the top-5 spots in the women's 1,000-meter run led by Kelly McQuaid in second with a time 3:00.07. She was followed by McKenzie Archer in fourth (3:04.80) and Macy Schulte in fifth (3:05.26).
For the Red Raiders Ramon Rueda finished fourth in the men's 1,000-meter run with a season-best time of 2:36.46.
In the field events, Lady Raider Aliyah Harmon finished second in the women's long jump with a season-best leap of 5.68-meters (18'-7.75"). Meanwhile, Hannah Carson picked up a win in the women's shot put with a career-best throw of 14.98-meters (49'-1.75") - a mark that moves her into the top-10 of the Big 12.
Representing the Red Raiders in the shot put, senior Jorge Garcia won the men's competition with a throw of 17.76-meters (58'-3.25").
Former Red Raider Omo Osaghae, running for Adidas, broke his own Athletic Training Center record early in the meet clocking a time of 7.05 seconds in the preliminaries of the 55-meter hurdles. He set the previous record of 7.07 in 2011.
Osaghae went on to finish first in the finals with a time of 7.07.

Beasts and Bestiaries: a book about how they used to illustrate animals
A couple of weeks ago, while reading a paper* on snail illustrations in old publications, I noticed a citation to a 2001 book called Beasts and bestiaries. The representation of animals from prehistory to the Renaissance by Francesco Mezzalira. It looked interesting, so I started searching for a copy. It turned out that the book was out of print, but I was able to locate, thru Amazon, an independent bookseller that had a new copy for a very reasonable price.
For some reason, I was expecting this to be a small book. So when it arrived today in a rather big box, I was surprised. The book turned out to be much larger than I had expected.
This is a handsome, lavishly illustrated production. The plates, many in color, are on glossy paper, which makes the pictures look nice, but the taking of photographs of them with a single flash is rendered difficult—there is always some glare.
It'll be a while before I find time to read the text; in the meantime I am enjoying the illustrations.
Of course, no book on this subject would be complete without a few pictures of our favorite animals. So, here is a quite realistic drawing of a slug from one of the books of the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi from 1602. The caption reads: Limax nudus cinereus maculis albicantibus. I don't know which slug that would be in the present day taxonomy.
*Warren D. Allmon. 2007. The evolution of accuracy in natural history illustration: reversal of printed illustrations of snails and crabs in pre-Linnaean works suggests indifference to morphological detail. Archives of Natural History 34:174-191.

On last night's Food Network episode of "Buy This Restaurant," expert restaurant broker, Keith Simpson came to Boston, Mass. to help best friends, Matt and Andrea find a cool restaurant space to combine their passion for ethnic food and live music. Keith will be showing them three spaces, and only one will be their choice.
Matt's lifelong dream was to have his own restaurant. Their concept is to make Lebanese pies with delicious fillings, basically a pita bread and different fillings, of sautéed vegetables and meats and other varieties of foods. Their budget is $150,000, and after several hardships in Matt's life, he needs a fresh start. Right now, Matt's only income is his dog walking service, and Andrea, a musician is buried in student loans, so they really need this restaurant to work.
The first place they checked out was located in a section of Boston known as Jamaica Plain, which is right in their wheelhouse and fits their budget. Recently, it was a fried chicken place. The asking price is $75,000 with rent of $2,200 a month. There is an inch of grease on all the equipment and the place smells. The business was doing about $250,000 a year and only closed a week ago. Keith knows how first-time buyers react, but he will give them the information they need and pros and cons. When Keith showed them the potential, buy using his tablet, they forgot about the grease and saw what could possibly be their future. With $75,000 for the equipment, $27,000 for rent and about $40,000 for repairs, the all in price for the first year would be $140,000, leaving them $10,000 for working capital and start-up costs. By doing some of the work themselves, it could save them $20,000 and Keith forecasts they would recoup their investment in as little as a year.
The next restaurant is a pizzeria in Newton, just outside of Boston. Keith suggests they keep it just the way it is. The entire business is for sale, including the menu, a complete turnkey place that could be up and running in three days. Inside it is lovely and spacious, but it is a pizza place. Before they eliminate the idea, Keith shows them that the current owners grossed $325,000 a year and they could incorporate their pies into the business. The cost is $85,000 and the rent is $1,750 triple net, where they will be responsible for all the property taxes, all the insurance, and are responsible for the building. With almost 1,300 square feet of space, it is a great starter restaurant, with a renovation of only $15,000, their all-in first year cost of $120,000 will leave them with $30,000 for start-up and working capital.
The last place was a highly successful wings and sandwich shop in Watertown, another town outside of Boston. Keith suggests that if they go with this concept, they tilt their thinking more towards take-out in the hustle-bustle neighborhood. They even got to meet with the owner, Jonathan O'Connor, who told them about the customers and community support. The asking price is $90,000 and the place is very small. The rent is $1,150, and they would be buying the business too. With a rent of $14,000 a year, and an all-in first year price of $130,000, leaving $20,000 and a one-year recoup, it is also a great idea.
After sleeping on their decision, the next day, the stuck with their hometown and went with Jamaica Plain and the abandoned fried chicken joint. After doing much of the renovations themselves, they saved about $20,000. The restaurant is called Aurum, which means gold.
Keith advises viewers to check here to see how the cafe is doing since he brokered the deal. Subsequent episodes will air starting Wednesday, so if you liked what you read, please Subscribe, and you will never miss another post from this Television Examiner. Thanks!

Student and Peer Tutor
Leech Lake Tribal College
Although she has five children and must commute some 100 miles round-trip each day to take classes at LLTC, Kim is a full-time student and has served as a peer tutor in LLTC's Learning Center for the past two years. She has a cumulative GPA of 3.88, and was named to the fall 2010 President's List after earning a 4.00 GPA for that semester.
As a peer tutor, Kim not only works with students who need assistance with math, English, Ojibwe language, or other courses, but she can often be found calming a distraught student, giving encouragement to someone who is considering dropping out of school, or mentoring younger peer tutors. She also assists the Learning Center Director with paperwork and reports, and is considered one of the most helpful and nurturing students on campus.
Kim's leadership skills have been honed by her participation in national conferences, local workshops, and her work as a peer tutor. This past year, Kim served as the vice president of the Student Senate, assisted with several Lunch & Learn sessions, and is actively engaged in community and cultural events. This young Anishinaabe woman is a highly respected role model for other students.
Leech Lake Tribal College feels very fortunate to have a peer tutoring program, funded by the Woksape Oyate grant, that allows it to hire outstanding students like Kim and affords it the pleasure of watching her emerge as a dynamic leader.

On Thursday, First Lady Michelle Obama visited Manhattan's New Museum where she spoke with a group of eighth grade students. Her topic of course was healthy eating but she also helped to spread the museum's pro-hydration message about drinking more water.
The students partipated in a huge paint-by-numbers project for the show and had the honor of Mrs. Obama signing it.
"You guys are going to make a huge, huge impact on the health of our nation," she said, noting that plans call for taking the show to museums and galleries in Washington and other cities around the country.
Watch Video above First Lady Michelle Obama Let's Move Initiative
"The fact that you guys can be involved in something this huge and exhibit this kind of creativity all over the country is like a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so you should feel very excited," she said, "because I certainly am."
The First Lady is touring and making appearances to celebrate the fourth year of her anti-childhood-obesity initiative.
Mrs. Obama has made wellness for children and childhood obesity her mission. With her Let's Move program she is dedicated to solving the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams.

2009 Research Summary
Wireless Microsensor in Electric Power Delivery Systems
View Current Project Information
Richard White, Tom Devine, MSME, James Evans, MSME, Paul Wright, ME, Michael Seidel, EECS Senior and Giovanni Gonzalez, ME Grad Student
A little-known problem threatens systems that deliver electric power to residential and commercial customers: the buried distribution cables that operate at 12,000 volts and higher perform well for a few decades and then suddenly fail with a dramatic one-nanosecond arc (see typical result below).
PG&E alone has 25,000 miles of 3-phase distribution circuits (75,000 miles of aging underground cables), and no really economical way of telling which ones are bad. The California Energy Commission has just funded a 3-year interdisciplinary (EECS, ME, MSME) research program at UCB to understand the failure mechanisms and find feasible ways (feasible technically, economically, and organizationally) of checking the health of cables to prioritize replacement.
The microsensors that we're researching, which report their data wirelessly, could help by measuring the electrical and mechanical characteristics of cables while in service (without power disruption). If you're an EECS graduate researcher with an interest in MEMS, microsensors, and wireless sensor networks, please contact Dick White (rwhite@eecs), EECS professor and founding co-director of the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center.

Kickoff is set for 4:37 p.m. PT at Memorial Stadium with a live telecast on Versus, which will also produce a 3D broadcast. A live radio broadcast will also be available across the Oregon Sports Network and on XM 141 and Sirius 121.
• Cal leads the all-time series 39-31-2 and is 26-14-2 vs. the Ducks at Memorial Stadium.
• The Golden Bears have won four of the past six meetings with UO, including three straight in Berkeley.
• After Oregon State (1894), Cal is Oregon's next oldest rival, beginning the series against one another in 1899.
• The Ducks' 42-3 home win last season snapped a six-game stretch against Cal where UO was held to 27 points or less.
• SO RB LaMichael James needs 15 rushing yards to pass Jonathan Stewart (2,891, 2005-07) for second all-time at Oregon.
• With 38 wins since the start of the 2007 season, Oregon's current senior class equaled the most victories of any class in school history (1998-2001).
• Since the start of 2008, Oregon is 21-3 in Pac-10 play with one of those defeats coming in Berkeley ('08).
• 29 of Oregon's 58 touchdown drives this season have taken five plays or less.
• With 492 points through nine games, the Ducks have already set a new 11-game scoring mark (previously 459 in 2008).
• The Ducks have outscored their opposition 87-7 in the fourth quarter this season.
• Of UO's top six players in all-purpose yards, four are sophomores and one is a freshman.
• Oregon is off to a 9-0 start for the first time in 115 seasons.
• UO is 14-0 the past two seasons when leading at the half.
What more could be asked from Oregon's 30th head coach, who became the first in Pac-10 history to win an outright conference title in his first season at the helm. Becoming the school's first mentor to take it to the Rose Bowl, as well as earning coach-of-the-year accolades in 15 years, the Manchester, N.H., native guided his team to more wins in his first year in the Pac-8/10 since former UO player and assistant coach John Robinson led USC to 10 wins in 1976.
The Ducks lead the nation in scoring offense (54.7) and total offense (567.2). Oregon also ranks among the top 5 in punt returns (4th, 19.52), rushing offense (305.4) and turnover margin (+1.22). Individually, SO RB LaMichael James is first in rushing yards per game (166.4) and scoring (13.5), and second in all-purpose yards (183.4); SO CB Cliff Harris is second in punt returns (21.73) and tied for fifth in interceptions per game (0.56).
After the first eight weeks of the college football season, Oregon leads the Pac-10 in 12 of 33 statistical categories: Scoring offense (54.7), total offense (567.2), rushing offense (305.4), pass efficiency defense (100.1), punt returns (19.5), interceptions (15), PAT kicking (61-61, 1.000), first downs (27.8), opponent fourth down conversion (3-17, 17.6%), red zone defense (18-28, 64.3%), on-side kicks (1-1, 100%), on-side kicks against (0-1, 0%). Individually, SO RB LaMichael James is the top rusher (166.4), scorer (1st, 13.5) and all-purpose runner (183.4) in the Pac-10; SO CB Cliff Harris leads the conference in interceptions (0.56), passes defended (1.56) and punt return average (21.7); SO PK Rob Beard leads in field goal pct. (8-8, 100%) and PAT pct. (52-52, 100%); SR LB Casey Matthews and FR LB Boseko Lokombo are tied for the lead in fumble recoveries (0.33).
Through nine games, the 2010 Oregon Ducks have scored 492 points. Not only is this a school record for nine games, it's 33 points more than the previous 11-game mark (2008) With three regular season plus one bowl game to go, the Ducks are just 53 points shy of the UO season record of 545 set in 2008.
With 38 wins since the start of 2007, this year's seniors have matched the 1998 to 2001 group as the winningest class in 115 years of Oregon Football. Heading into Saturday, the class has an overall mark of 38-10, 26-7 in Pac-10 play. Five of those seniors - DT Brandon Bair, CB Talmadge Jackson III, WR Jeff Maehl, LB Spencer Paysinger and DE Kenny Rowe - have played in all 48 games.
The Ducks climbed to No. 1 in the nation for the first time in school history on Oct. 17, when they earned the top spot in the AP Top 25, USA Today (coaches) and Harris polls. Still No. 1, Oregon has now spent eight straight weeks in the top 5, which is its longest stretch ever.
Oregon is No. 1 in the BCS standings for the second straight week after debuting in the No. 2 spot in the first rankings of the year Oct. 17 and remaining there Oct. 24. UO is in front of No. 2 Auburn, No. 3 TCU, No. 4 Boise State, No. 5 LSU and No. 6 Stanford. The top two teams in the final rankings on Dec. 5 will play for the BCS National Championship on Jan. 10, 2011, in Glendale, Ariz. Prior to this season, the Ducks highest BCS ranking was No. 2 on Nov. 11, 2007.
UO is 9-0 for the first time in school history, setting a new single-season winning streak in the process and tying for the fourth-longest overall streak.
Quarterback sacks, for and against, have been a big statistic for the 2010 Ducks. Oregon is third in the Pac-10 and 11th nationally, averaging 2.89 sacks per game, while allowing only five sacks all season. 11 different players have gotten in on the action and nine Ducks have multiple sacks, led by SR DE Kenny Rowe with 6.0. Rowe's 22.5 career sacks are good for sixth all-time at UO.
SR QB Nate Costa injured his right knee in the win over Washington Nov. 6 and will miss the remainder of the season. Costa, a team captain who lost his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons due to injury and overcame three knee surgeries, battled back to play in 21 straight games as the backup QB and primary holder the past two years. His hold of a bad snap on a game-tying PAT at Arizona in 2009 earned him Pac-10 player of the week honors on special teams (the first ever awarded to a holder) and kept Oregon's Rose Bowl run alive. He also started and helped the Ducks to a key road win at UCLA during their '09 Pac-10 championship season. Earlier this season, he came off the bench for an injured Darron Thomas at Washington State and completed 13 of 15 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown, while running for 84 yards and another score in the road victory. Already a UO graduate with a degree in Sociology, the Hilmar, Calif., native finished his career with a 70.4 percent completion rate (50 of 71), 556 passing yards and two touchdowns against one interception, and 195 yards and three scores on the ground.
After gaining 121 rushing yards vs. Washington last week, SO RB LaMichael James has now eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark a UO-record 16 times in his career. He has surpassed the 100-yard pinnacle seven times this season and 13 times in 15 career Pac-10 games.
SO RB LaMichael James has broken the 200-yard rushing barrier three times this season, rolling up 227 vs. Portland State, 239 at USC and a Pac-10 season-high 257 vs. Stanford. His performance against the Cardinal ranks second on the UO single-game ledger, while his efforts vs. the Trojans and Vikings are sixth and seventh, respectively, on Oregon's all-time list. James is second in career 200-yard games behind Reuben Droughns (1998 (3), '99 (1)), who holds the school record with four, and tied Droughns' mark of three in one season. The 200-yard mark has been topped only 17 times in program history.
It took LaMichael James only 16 career games to reach 2,000 rushing yards for his career, going over the milestone Sept. 25 at Arizona State. Now with 2,877, the sophomore from Texarkana, Texas, ranks third all-time at Oregon and is on pace to eclipse 3,000 yards and take over the top spot by the end of the season. He is only 14 yards away from Jonathan Stewart (2005-07, 2,891) for second and 419 of Derek Loville's (1986-89) UO record of 3,296.
SO RB LaMichael James became the fastest Oregon player to reach the 1,000-yard rushing mark for a season in terms of games played, passing the marker in his seventh game. It took him 140 attempts to do it, which ranks second all-time behind LeGarrette Blount, who hit 1,000 in 137 carries (13 games) in 2008. Three players previously eclipsed the mark in eight games.
On his 42-yard touchdown run in the second quarter at USC, SO RB LaMichael James became the third UO player with two 1,000-yard seasons in a career, matching Onterrio Smith (2001, '02) and Maurice Morris (2000, '01).
LaRECORD WATCH
Now with 1,331 rushing yards on the season, SO RB LaMichael James ranks fourth on the all-time season rushing list, 12 yards shy of Saladin McCullough (1997) for third. He is 391 yards away from Jonathan Stewart's Oregon record of 1,722, set in 2007.
SO RB LaMichael James has scored a touchdown in all eight games he's played in this season, giving him 32 scores in 21 career games (31 rush, 1 rec). His 17 rushing scores on the season are equal to LeGarrette Blount's season record set in 2008, and his 31 career TD totes are second all-time behind Derek Loville's 41 from 1986-89. James has 108 points on the year, good for fourth on the UO single-season record list and only nine points away from tying Nathan Villegas (117 in 1998) for the top spot. On the Oregon career scoring list, the back ranks eighth with 192 points.
Perhaps lost a bit due to LaMichael James' All-America caliber season is the fact that SR WR Jeff Maehl is having one of the best years of any receiver in Oregon history. With four games to play, Maehl has already tied the UO single-season record with 10 receiving touchdowns and he is currently riding the second-longest touchdown streak by an Oregon receiver with a scoring grab in six straight games - one away from Steve Bunker (7 in 1965). His 54 receptions are the most since Jaison Williams had 55 in 2007 and he is within range of Samie Parker's Oregon record of 77 in '03. With 746 yards, Maehl is on pace to become only the eighth Duck ever, and the first since Demetrius Williams in '05, with 1,000 receiving yards in a season.

Of the Ducks' 58 scoring drives resulting in touchdowns, 29 have taken five plays or less.
The Ducks were the first team in the Pac-10 to become bowl eligible in 2010, a feat they accomplished for the sixth straight year. Oregon has been to 17 bowls in the past 21 seasons, the eighth-most appearances in college football over that time span and more than any other Pac-10 team.
Oregon is one win away from recording its third straight and sixth overall 10-win season ever - all since 2000. The UO record for victories is 11 by the 2001 team which defeated Colorado in the Fiesta Bowl and finished ranked No. 2 in the polls.
UO players have received weekly or national awards after all but two games this season (Portland State and Washington). The latest was SR WR Jeff Maehl being selected Pac-10 player of the week (offense) after posting eight receptions and career highs of 145 yards and three touchdowns in the win over USC. While the Ducks didn't receive any hardware following their 37-point win over Washington last week, SO QB Darron Thomas and SO PR Cliff Harris earned honorable mention as national performers of the week by the College Football Performance Awards.

After initially being left off the watch list for both of college football's major quarterback awards, SO QB Darron Thomas was named one of 16 semifinalists for the Davey O'Brien Award and added to the Manning Award watch list following his career performance (to that point) vs. UCLA. Against the Bruins, the sophomore from Houston had personal bests of 22 completions (31 attempts) and 308 yards. He tossed three touchdowns and also ran for 48 yards on five carries.
SO QB Darron Thomas passed for a career-high four touchdowns vs. Portland State - all before halftime - becoming the first UO quarterback to accomplish the feat since Justin Roper had four TDs vs. South Florida in the 2007 Sun Bowl. He matched his career mark Oct. 30 at USC and now ranks tied for second in the Pac-10 with 22 touchdown passes this season. The Houston native also has four rushing scores on the year.
Through nine games, the Ducks have 42 plays from scrimmage of 25 yards or longer, 20 of 40 or more yards, six of 60 or more yards and three of 70-plus yards. Of the 42 big plays, 24 have resulted in touchdowns.

The Ducks rank third among FBS teams in rushes of 20 yards or more with 30 such runs to date. Oregon also has the third-most rushes for 10-plus yards with 84.
Since 1999, the Ducks are 9-9 against top 10 opposition, including wins in five out of the last seven. Oregon is 3-1 against the top 10 under Chip Kelly, with the lone defeat coming against No. 8 Ohio State in the 2010 Rose Bowl.
The Ducks are 2-0 against top 25 teams this season. Last year, Chip Kelly's first as Oregon head coach, the Ducks were 4-2 against top 25 competition. UO's only loss to a non-ranked team during the Kelly era came at Stanford on Nov. 7, 2009.
After the first couple of days of preseason camp, it was evident that true freshman receiver Josh Huff had too much talent not to play immediately. That's saying something, considering he would be coming into a team returning nine starters on offense, including all three wide receivers. The former USA Junior National Team member has scored four touchdowns and ranks third on the team with 725 all-purpose yards.
The Ducks not only set a new single-game record for rushing in the win over Portland State, they crushed the previous standard by 63 yards. Oregon ran for 528 yards against the Vikings, surpassing the team's 465-yard effort at Washington in 2007.
Oregon's 2010 defense was billed as a swarming, deep crew during preseason camp and that description has proven to be spot-on. The Ducks saw 29 players make a tackle vs. New Mexico, with 20 of those guys recording multiple stops, and 26 players credited with stops at Tennessee. Against Portland State, 32 players made the defensive stat sheet with 30 making at least one tackle.
The first Pac-10 start by SO QB Darron Thomas produced one of the best games of his young career. Thomas set career highs of 260 passing yards, 19 completions and 33 pass attempts in the win at Arizona State. He also tossed a pair of touchdowns and ran for another score.
With 54 receptions through the first nine games of the season, SR WR Jeff Maehl has broken into the top 10 on Oregon's all-time list. Maehl now has 155 career receptions, good for seventh, and needs seven more to reach the top 5. The true senior from Paradise, Calif., has played the last 38 games at receiver after spending the first 10 of his career at safety.
There aren't enough games left in WR Jeff Maehl's career to approach Keenan Howry's Oregon record of 48 consecutive games with a reception (1999-02), but the senior still has an impressive string to his credit, having made at least one catch in 30 straight games dating to Oct. 4, 2008 vs. USC.
ESPN College GameDay produced its weekly college football preview show from the University of Oregon prior to the Stanford game, marking the fifth appearance in Eugene by the popular show which features Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Erin Andrews. Oregon has a 4-1 record when hosting GameDay and has won three straight dating to 2007.
The 72-0 result vs. New Mexico Sept. 4 was the Ducks' first shutout since blanking Stanford 35-0 on Oct. 25, 2003. With another shutout of Portland State (69-0) Sept. 18, the Ducks recorded multiple shutouts in a single season for the first time since 1964.
At the start of last season, UO had 18 returning players with starting experience. This year, 27 such student-athletes came in with at least one starting assignment under their belts. Last year's returners totaled 174 career starts while this year's returners totaled 279, an average of 12.7 per man on the 2-deep depth chart.
SO RB Kenjon Barner equaled UO's modern scoring record with 5 touchdowns (4 rush, 1 rec) vs. New Mexico Sept. 4, tying Saladin McCullough, who ran for five scores vs. Arizona, Nov. 9, 1996. Barner scored all 30 of his points before halftime, surpassing his 2009 season total of 24 (3 rush TD, 1 ret TD).
Just 20 games into his college playing career, SO RB Kenjon Barner has already climbed onto Oregon's career list for kick return yardage, ranking sixth with 1,221 yards. The Riverside, Calif., product also ranks eighth all-time in punt return average (12.6) and recently surpassed 2,000 all-purpose yards to date (2,262).
The 80-yard punt return for a touchdown by SO RB Kenjon Barner at Tennessee tied for the eighth-longest such return in school history.
SO CB Cliff Harris has made the most of his 17 appearances in an Oregon uniform. Brought out of a potential redshirt midway through last season, the former U.S. Army All-American is the team leader among active players in career passes defended with 23 (6 INT, 17 PBU). Add to that his first "pick 6" on a 76-yard return at Tennessee, and three punt returns for touchdowns this season, and you have a player with a career's worth of big plays with the majority of his collegiate playing days still in front of him.
JR TE David Paulson, who had three grabs for 41 yards in the win vs. UW, has 30 career receptions, with all but four resulting in either a first down or a touchdown. He ranks second on the team in receiving yards this season with 322 and is averaging 16.9 yards per catch for his career.
SR RB Remene Alston Jr. and SO RB Kenjon Barner etched their names in the UO record book by each surpassing 100 yards rushing for the first time in the win vs. New Mexico Sept. 4. Alston set career highs with 21 carries and 110 yards, as did Barner, who rushed 17 times for a net of 147.
Oregon's 72-0 rout of New Mexico on Sept. 4 produced a fair number of school records, including 720 yards of total offense to best the old mark of 694 at Oregon State in the 2008 Civil War. The Ducks equaled the program's modern scoring record with 72 points while setting a new modern record for scoring margin (also 72 points), the most since a 72-10 victory vs. Nevada, Sept. 18, 1999. It was UO's most points overall since a 97-0 win over Willamette (Ore.) in 1916.
With 668 yards of total offense against Portland State, Oregon has recorded two of its three most prolific offensive games in history this season. The yardage against the Vikings ranks third in school history behind 720 vs. New Mexico and 694 at Oregon State in 2008.
Only three new starters took the field in Oregon's season opener vs. New Mexico, led by SO QB Darron Thomas as the only first-time starter for the offense. On defense, JR DE Terrell Turner and SR DT Zac Clark made opening assignments for the first time. True FR K Eric Solis handled kicking duties in his first-ever game at Autzen. Others to make their first career starts this year are FR DT Wade Keliikipi, and SO DE Dion Jordan, both vs. UCLA.
Of the many records set in Oregon's lopsided 72-0 victory over New Mexico to start the season, none may hold up longer than the mark set by SO CB Cliff Harris, who became the first UO player to return two punts for touchdowns in a single game. The Fresno, Calif., product replaced regular returner SO RB Kenjon Barner, who was given the rest of the day off with UO on top 42-0 in the second quarter, and fielded the first two punts of his career, taking one back for 61 yards and the next for 64. Harris, who now holds Oregon's season record for punt return TDs with three, tied the conference single-game record, which was last accomplished by USC's Mike Garrett in 1965 vs. Cal (also Sam Brown, UCLA vs. Stanford, 1954).
After claiming its third Pacific-10 Conference championship of the decade (t'00, '01 and '09), Oregon sets its sights on its ninth league title in 2010. (Only USC won more shares of the conference crown, seven, during that span than Oregon.) The Ducks hope their next 10 seasons will be as successful, if not more, than the previous decade as they accumulated more wins (87-38, 69.6%) than any other 10-year span in school history. Entering 2000 having achieved a school-record nine wins on six occasions, Oregon not only matched that number since the start of the century, it posted 10 or more victories in a single season five times.
The Ducks have won 15 straight games at Autzen Stadium, dating to 2008, which is the second longest streak in stadium history. UO won a record 23 straight between 1997 and 2001. Oregon has won its last 12 Pac-10 contests at home since falling in overtime against Oregon State in the 2007 Civil War.
With five sold out crowds in as many games this season, including a State of Oregon record 60,017 vs. Washington on Nov. 6, Oregon has sold out Autzen Stadium (cap. 54,000) for 73 consecutive games, dating to 1999.
Head coach Chip Kelly made his sideline debut at Autzen Stadium Sept. 12, 2009 (W 38-36 vs. Purdue) after spending the prior two seasons calling plays from a booth high above the field as the team's offensive coordinator. Since Kelly's arrival in 2007, the Ducks are 22-3 at Autzen, averaging 45.1 points per home game.
An overlooked facet of Oregon's success has been the continuity of its coaching staff. Although second-year head coach Chip Kelly begins just his fourth season as part of the Ducks' program, the core of the staff has remained intact over the course of three different head coaches. Running backs coach Gary Campbell enters his 28th year on the Oregon staff, which equals the longest tenure of any Oregon assistant football coach in school history. In addition, offensive line coach and running game coordinator Steve Greatwood begins his 25th year on the Ducks' coaching staff, linebackers coach Don Pellum is in his 23rd season, while defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti begins his 20th season at Oregon.
The Ducks are in line to have nine of their 12 regular-season games nationally televised as part of the Pac-10's network television contract. Starting with the Sept. 11 road opener at Tennessee on ESPN2, other TV games include Arizona State (Sept. 25, FSN), Stanford (Oct. 2, ABC/ESPN2), UCLA (Oct. 21, ESPN/ESPN 3D), USC (Oct. 30, ABC), Washington (Nov. 6, ABC), at Cal (Nov. 13, Versus), and Arizona (Nov. 26, ESPN). The Oregon at Oregon State game (Dec. 4) will also be televised by ABC at 12:30. In addition, televised home games vs. New Mexico (Sept. 4) and Portland State (Sept. 18), and a road game at Washington State (Oct. 9), were picked up for regional broadcasts by the Oregon Sports Network via Comcast SportsNet Northwest.
The University of Oregon received the top spot in the Pac-10 preseason media poll. The defending Pac-10 champions garnered 15 first-place from the 35 West Coast media members who participated in the poll. The Ducks earned the top spot for just the second time since the poll began in 1961. Oregon was also a preseason favorite in 2001, going on to win the Pac-10. The media poll has correctly selected the Conference Champion in 26 of 49 previous polls, including nine of the last 10.
