It wasn't long ago when the best fighters in the world sought out the other best fighters in the world to find out who was the best of the best. It was a natural, easy thing to do, a way of finding out which fighter was the undisputed featherweight, bantamweight or heavyweight champion of the world. There was no need for discussion because we had watched the best fighters fight each other. We knew our champions.
Making those fights never seemed to be that tough. They just seemed to fall into place, as natural as the two best teams playing in a World Series or a Super Bowl.
To put those fights together, one guy from each camp – usually the fighter's manager - would meet with a promoter and after a little negotiating, they would agree on a time, a place and a purse. They'd end the conversation with a handshake and the nod of a head. A few months later, we'd turn on the TV and watch the two best welterweights in the world duke it out.
If the fight was close, if the outcome wasn't obvious, they'd usually do it again, have a rematch, the same type of negotiating bringing us a second big fight or even a third or fourth.
But the thing was we never doubted that sooner or later, the best fighters would meet in the same ring to settle things. We didn't worry about promotional ties, or protecting fighters or mandatory drug testing. We didn't have three or four different world champions because that was like saying we had three or four different World Series champions.
It was all pretty simple, really. It's why Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali fought three times. Why Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta kept showing up in the same ring. Why Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler were usually mentioned in the same sentence. They put on great shows and no one could predict the winner. But whoever it was, he was considered the best in the world, at least until the two fought again.
But then something ugly happened. Somewhere along the line, we lost touch with the truth. Promoters, cable TV, politics and greed started elbowing their way into the fight game, and the simplicity of the two best fighters in a division actually facing each other became almost obsolete. Promoters didn't want to risk losing their champions, their money cows, and some fighters worried about losing their titles.
It became easier and safer to duck the top contenders or ignore another champion in another alphabet organization, and fight someone a little ways down the list of top contenders.
What do you think would have happened if Sugar Ray Leonard had never fought Tommy Hearns or Marvelous Marvin Hagler? If Aaron Pryor and Alexis Arguello had never fought? Those fights helped define their careers, completed their legacies. Without those fights, they would not have reached the level of greatness they did.
Maybe that's why it's so hard to understand why Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., have never fought. Say what you want, if they were fighting 25 years ago, you can bet the house they would have already fought each other. Probably two or three times.
But things are different now, and promoters like Bob Arum seem to cradle and shelter their champions. The reason Pacquiao and Mayweather haven't fought is because Arum doesn't want them to fight. It's as though he wants to protect Pacquiao for as long as possible. If he did want the fight, you can be damn sure he would have found a way to make it work by now. After all, he is Bob Arum.
Arum recently said there is "no development" in the talks about the fight. Speaking from the Philippines, he said they are waiting on Mayweather and if the fight does come off, it wouldn't be until late May.
"The problem remains the same in that no one from Mayweather's side would guarantee his purse," Arum was quoted as saying in a Manila newspaper. "I can only guarantee Manny's purse, but if Floyd wants to make a deal with me, then I'm open to that. I can guarantee his purse but then I will have to have a share in his revenue."
Pacquiao, meanwhile, sounds ready to step up to the plate as long as it's an even split in the purse between him and Mayweather.
But that's how it should be. It's Pacquiao's legacy that's at stake, not Arum's. If and when they fight, we'll remember who won and how. We won't remember or care how much they were paid or who the promoters were.
Nice copy, Pugilistic scribe R-Fo. But I cannot agree with it. The best in the game has always ducked the best. It is just how the crookedness of hurt bitnezz bites. And the game is all about optical illusions. And match ducking is at the top of the ladder.
In my moving closer-and-closer to 40-year life, I can name a whole lot of matches that were not made. My soon-be-be 109-year-old Uncle Mamoy can go back to over a 103 years. The game hasn't change. Just da playas. Unc says, "Same ole sh*t, different players." I cannot get him to say "playas," because he's not down with Hip Hop. Dude loves that old music jive. Hehehehe! Holla!
Excellent article. And right on. The fact that titles are meaningless is a HUGE part of the problem. Example: If Marvin Hagler was only concerned with money, why didn't he return to fight Leonard again (huge payday, absolutely no physical risk whatsoever)? Hagler fought for pride. He identified with being the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. He walked away from millions (in late-80's dollars). Why did Leonard, Hearns, Duran, and Leonard have all those fights? Surely, there were easier opponents out there than each other. In the past, guys did care about being the best. Yes, they wanted to get rich, but that wasn't their only concern, and they knew that to get rich, they had to go through the best. These days, a prime so-called "great" always has retirement at the tip of his tongue. He's always ready to retire. It's sad, but boxing is a fringe sport -one I love and always have- but without real reform, real identifiable champions with a goal in mind, it'll never escape the "Other Sports" section of the sports page.

Weeks later, IBM and the DIR jointly announced that they agreed upon a plan to improve data backup and recovery.
Troubles continued into 2009. A state auditor's report released in August criticized the DIR for failing to adequately oversee the data center consolidation. According to the Austin American-Statesman, moving servers into the two new data center was well behind schedule. The original contract terms set a December 2009 deadline.
A month later, Brian Rawson resigned as the state's CTO to take a job with the Texas Education Agency. Robinson was named his interim replacement. She was previously the governor's director of administration and technology.
The state originally expected the consolidation to save more than $150 million over the life of the seven-year contract. But a report released by the DIR in June estimates that consolidation saved only $11 million over the last two years. "We still are expecting a great savings," DIR spokesman Thomas Johnson said Friday. "I don't know that we want to put a direct number on it at this point, since we're going about [the contract and consolidation] a completely different way. We still expect a tremendous savings in the state, overall, once we get to full implementation."

Jan. 20, 2013
PULLMAN, Wash. -- It wasn't easy, but Washington extended its streak to 36 in a row with a 79-72 victory over Washington State. The Dawgs came back from a halftime deficit, playing much of the second half without Jazmine Davis to pull out an exciting victory in the Palouse.
Washington improved to 12-5, including 4-2 in Pac-12 play, with hot shooting down the stretch to pull away from an inspired Cougar squad. Heather Corral led the charge for the Huskies, making three huge 3-pointers down the stretch as she played big minutes with Davis on the bench after taking an elbow to the head.
Coral finished 3-4 from 3-point range as the Huskies made 12 threes as a team. Davis made four in the first half, but Corral and Kristi Kingma, who also had three 3's, that made the big shots down the stretch.
Aminah Williams also was a difference maker, matching a career high with 17 points, while grabbing 11 rebounds. She finished 8-10 from the field and notched her 11th double-double of the season.
The Cougars built an early lead, shooting 48.5 percent in the first half. Down as many as eight, Washington closed the half with two big hoops, including a steal by Mercedes Wetmore that led to a Williams floater as time expired. The shot pulled UW to within four, 40-36, at the break.
To begin the second half, Washington went on a 9-0 run to retake the lead and quiet the biased Pullman crowd. Davis got into the lane to score as she finished with 18 points, before and inadvertent elbow put her on the bench.
The Cougars fought back and retaking the lead with a pair of 3's, followed by two free throws midway through the half. Washington State made nine 3-pointers in the game to help stay close.
Washington State led 57-53 with 10:49 to play when Davis went to the bench for good. Her replacement was Corral who immediately hit a three, then another after the Dawgs tied it a 61-61 to give the Huskies a three-point lead that it would not relinquish.
Corral's final three came with 4:44 to play and put the Dawgs up five, 70-65. From there, the Huskies held on, getting stops and making free throws down the stretch. Kingma finished with 16 points as she iced the game with some pressure free throws.
The Dawgs shot 46.7 percent for the game, including 44.4 percent from 3-point range. Wetmore finished with seven assists to match a career high, while also collecting two of the Huskies' nine steals.
The win moves Washington into a tie for third in the Pac-12, just one game behind both Stanford and California atop the league standings.
Next, Washington returns home to face Oregon State and Oregon next weekend at Alaska Airlines Arena. The Beavers will be in town Friday, January 25, at 6 p.m., while the Ducks will be Sunday, January 27, at 2 p.m. Sunday's game against Oregon will also be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network.

Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey: Four In One
Four in One
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey
One Day in Brooklyn (Kinnara Records)
Brian Haas (piano), Chris Combs (lap steel guitar), Matt Hayes (bass), Josh Raymer(drums).
Composed by Thelonious Monk.
Recorded: Brooklyn, NY, April 2009
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
In a way, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey (JFJO) can be compared to NRBQ, each being an eclectic and playful jam band that draws from jazz, rock, and funk, and sports influences ranging from Thelonious Monk to Sun Ra. JFJO was formed in Tulsa, OK, in 1994, and in its new configuration adds "The Tulsa Sound" to its arsenal, as represented by artists such as Bob Wills and Woody Guthrie. At the start of 2009 the group was expanded from a trio to a quartet with the addition of Chris Combs on lap steel guitar, while bassist Matt Hayes replaced original bassist Reed Mathis. (There's never been a Jacob Fred in the group--that was just Haas's nickname in high school.) Combs' guitar helps give JFJO a refreshingly different sound, as heard for the first time on its new self-produced six-track EP, One Day in Brooklyn.
Haas plays Monk's "Four in One" theme liltingly, with subdued theremin-sounding background sighs from Combs' guitar and crisp, unvarnished rhythm support from Hayes and Raymer. Combs in a lyrical solo break takes his lap steel to the island of Hawaii, before Haas returns to moderately embellish the theme. Combs then resumes his improv, continuing to toy with the tune's melodic rather than harmonic structure, and eventually giving way again to Haas's equally thematic ruminations. Haas concludes by playing Monk's line once more in an appealingly light-touched manner. This is an unchallenging yet sonically fascinating take on "Four in One," not unlike the streamlined approach you might expect from Bill Frisell.

Sun Web Chief Tim Bray Moves to Google
Good-bye, Oracle: XML coauthor Timothy William Bray did well to control his anger toward the new Sun owners and accepted a job at Google -- raving about Android.
"I'd had an offer to stay with Oracle which I decided to decline; I'll maybe tell the story when I can think about it without getting that weird spiking-blood-pressure sensation in my eyeballs," the Canadian explained about his farewell from Oracle.
Bray had been at Sun since 2004 as an XML expert and worked on the initial XML 1.0 standard since 1994. He has held a leading position in the software segment of Web technology.
The overlap of Web technology with open source ultimately motivated him to pursue work with Google, where he will likely have something to do with Android. One of his favorite targets is Apple: "The iPhone vision of the mobile Internet's future omits controversy, sex, and freedom, but includes strict limits on who can know what and who can say what. It's a sterile Disney-fied walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers.... I hate it." Bray is counting on Google and the Android to set it right. He feels that Apple apparently thinks it can benefit from the Web while controlling which programs to run on it "and what parts of the stack can be accessed." He continues, "I think they're wrong and see this job as a chance to help prove it."
The 54-year-old is especially interested in apps development on Android, Web standards like HTML 5 and the Android market. He addresses the community with, "Are you an Android developer? Or might you become one? Or have you given up on Android? If you're any of these, you're a person I need to learn from. Help teach me, I'm easy to find: twbray at google.com."
Not to say that Bray will work exclusively on Android, as the new Google "Developer Advocate" himself admits. He apparently does enjoy the opportunity nonetheless. Google will probably mean some getting used to. He made clear in his announcement blog that he didn't want to be silenced: "Google asked to see an advance draft of the piece you're now reading 'for coordinating messaging', but didn't suggest any changes."
Google is a pretty good place to beGoogle, eh. That's a pretty good place to be. Companies are like beer: right ingredients in the right amount at the right time at the right temperature make for a fantastic experience. Get them a little wrong and not so fantastic. Looking forward to Tim's contributions to Android. I've been an avid reader of his blog and I'm very happy for him.

"When I first came here it was the only station in town so it was really dominant," former WEAU 13 News anchor John Froyd said.
WEAU started as one TV station but has evolved over the past 60 years to become three television stations including 24/7 weather and antenna TV.

The location may have been revealed for "Far Cry 4." According to a report from Game Planet on Feb. 21, the video game will apparently be set in the Himalayan Mountains. The founder of the leak, Superannuation, has an impressive track record of finding information on upcoming titles.
Although "Far Cry 4" has not yet been announced, the sequel has already been hinted several times to be in production. The sequel may be developed by Ubisoft Shanghai with Cliff Martinez handling the soundtrack for the first-person shooting open-world title. Tony Key, the senior vice president of marketing and sales at Ubisoft, also confirmed that a new video game from the "Far Cry" series is in development after the success of the third main installment of the series.
"Far Cry 3" was released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 gaming platforms on Dec. 4, 2012. Despite missing the Black Friday shopping period, the software product still managed to sell 4.5 million units in just two months. "Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon," a standalone expansion pack, was released last year on April 30th for the Playstation Network as well as May 1st for the PC and Xbox 360 digital stores. You can find some screens from the third main "Far Cry" title with the gallery to the left of this article.
"Far Cry 4" will most likely come out for the PC along with the PS4 and Xbox One next-generation systems. Ubisoft may also port the sequel to the PS3 and Xbox 360 current-generation consoles.

Government Resolutions
The Government holds its weekly meetings every Sunday. At the Government meetings, surveys are given on various subjects, and proposed resolutions submitted by ministers to the Government are discussed and placed on the agenda. From the moment the Government approves a proposed resolution, it becomes a Government Resolution and the ministers must implement it.
The proposed resolutions are submitted in writing by the various ministers no later than Wednesday of every week. Proposed resolutions submitted and approved by the Prime Minister are added to the Government's Agenda and are distributed to the ministers for their examination, along with the agenda, at least 48 hours prior to the Government meeting.
Resolutions by the Ministerial Committees become valid Government Resolutions two weeks after being distributed to the ministers if no Government member appeals.
Each resolution receives a sequential number.
The manner in which resolutions are approved is detailed in the "Statute of Government Operation".

Walmart set to open July 10

Supercenter to be open 24 hours/day in Dahlgren at King George Gateway
King George Gateway developer Edward A. Murphy of OMZ King George LLC and owner of Realty Development Services announced that July 10, 2011, is the date set for the grand opening of a 152,000 square foot Walmart Supercenter, under construction in Dahlgren.
Murphy made the announcement at last week's meeting of the county's Economic Development Authority (EDA) on Nov. 10, saying the Walmart store will be open 24 hours a day.
The store will have a supermarket and pharmacy, along with home living and outdoor living areas for shopping.
The project's first phase was approved last year with the OK for the subdivision of the property also granted a year ago.
There are about 124 acres for the first phase of the development, which includes a row of seven pad sites fronting along US 301 for which site plans will be submitted separately after tenants are finalized.
Phase I calls for a total of 214,748 square feet of retail space including the Walmart anchor store, with an additional 81,275 square feet of retail space broken into 10 multi-tenant retail spaces.
KLNB Retail is the exclusive sales and leasing broker for the project. The pad sites with roadside visibility are suitable for uses including fast-casual restaurants, financial institutions and medical or automotive facilities.
Future plans for the King George Gateway development also include several components expected to maximize the site with a mix of retail, office, hotel and residential uses.
This trend in development comes at a time when localities are looking for ways to mitigate traffic by providing town centers that include places for people to live, work, shop and play.
A full-service hotel is earmarked for a 4-acre pad site at the project, with Murphy saying it was recently approved by Marriott for a hotel site. A franchise for a hotel has not yet been secured, though Murphy says he is confident they will have one by 2012.
He said he is negotiating with another big box store to also go in during a later development phase. Future phases for King George Gateway also include plans for a 240-unit townhouse development to go in behind the retail section. That would necessitate rezoning a 42-acre parcel.
Most King George residents say they are looking forward to a convenient retail center for shopping without going out of the county, with public opinion overwhelmingly positive for some new retail shopping alternatives.
The county is also looking to the increased revenue for the county's tax base.
Nicole Thompson, Economic Development Director for King George, has said the regional retail development is expected to add jobs and generate economic development activity.
In addition to shopping convenience for county residents, the project is expected to generate retail business from the thousands of out-of-county day-time employees who commute to work at the Dahlgren Navy base and associated contractors.
The development is being constructed on the west side of US 301 in Dahlgren, directly across the highway from the Dahlgren Technology Center, an office park that houses several government contractors. Bayberry subdivision is farther south along US 301.
The University of Mary Washington's Dahlgren Campus Center for Education & Research post-graduate facility is being constructed on the south side of the shopping center property. The 45,000 square foot campus is under construction with an opening expected in 2012.

College Hockey:Sacred Heart Soars Past Lindenwood, 10-6
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Junior Katelin McLaughlin and sophomore Gina Arnone each had a hat trick and senior Michelle Panella scored two goals as the Sacred Heart Pioneers held off Lindenwood Saturday at Wonderland of Ice.
In a game that featured a virtual parade to the penalty box, 14 of the 16 goals scored came on special teams. Both teams had six power plays in 12 attempts while the Pioneers also scored two shorthanded goals.
The Lions took an early lead when Mandy Dion converted on a spin shot from in front of the net. She took a pass from Veronica Metcalf and flipped the puck into the net.
The Pioneers tied the game at the 15:31 mark when McLaughlin scored Sacred Heart's first power-play goal of the day from Panella and freshman Sandy Parlato. However, the Lions took a 2-1 lead to the dressing room after Gillian Couture fired a shot that just trickled through the pads of goaltender Stephanie Boulay as time expired.
Sacred Heart came out flying in the second period, scoring three goals in the first 4:10 of the period to open up a 4-2 lead. McLaughlin notched her second goal at the 1:17 mark, pounding home a rebound after Panella's initial shot was stopped. Arnone got on the scoreboard two minutes in, set up by Kristina Feltz and Whitney Dziama.
Panella and McLaughlin hooked up again 4:10 in, as McLaughlin fed Panella a perfect centering pass from behind the net which Panella finished off for a shorthanded goal. However, the Lions wouldn't go away as Kristina Leng converted a power-play opportunity 23 seconds later to make it 4-3.
The Pioneers scored another shorthanded goal halfway through the second to reopen a two goal edge. Panella and McLaughlin once again set each other up, with Panella putting the finishing touch on and Devon Gaslin also getting an assist. However, Leng scored another power-play goal with 3:54 left to make it 5-4.
The Pioneers scored two goals in the final 1:29 of the second period to take a 7-4 lead. First, Arnone took a pass from Feltz and fired a shot that rocketed its way into the top right corner of the goal. Sophomore Whitney Dziama scored the seventh goal with 54 seconds left off a pass from Arnone.
Arnone completed her hat trick at the 6:17 mark of the third period. After an initial shot was stopped by Gaslin, Arnone picked up the rebound, spun in front of the net and flipped the puck in.
McLaughlin turned her trick with 6:25 left in the game when she pounded home a loose puck in front. Three minutes later Dziama tallied a goal to finish the scoring for the Pioneers.

Stripwork Onesie Dress
I made this little dress to send to my Granddaughter, and thought it would be an easy and fun tutorial for those of you who like to sew. It's a great way to use up scraps of fabric you have around, and it's a really easy project, even for beginners. Have fun with it, and send me a photo if you end up making one!

My Awesome Kids!
I hope it won't bug you that I'm putting pictures of my kids in here, but after all, they are a BIG part of my life, and who I am. In case I didn't ever mention this before, I am a mother of SEVEN wonderful children, some of whom are grown up now, like Brittney, 26 (who's new baby is shown in my blog a little further down) and Trent, who is 24 this year, and a returned missionary from Mongolia. Cade is 19 and leaving on a mission in May to London, England. Paige is 17 and blossoming into a true beauty, and then there's the younger ones like Natalie, 13, also blossoming, Abigail, age 9, And lastly, Troy who is turning 5 in April. Six are still living at home, so you can imagine what my life is like!

More Stuff
I decided to share some pictures of some of the ceramics I have painted...It's another of my favorite things to do. My husband and I own a Color Me Mine studio franchise, which is a paint-your-own ceramic studio. We have a lot of fun with it.
So these are some examples of some of the ones I've painted. The top picture shows how you can design a custom platter or whatever to match fabrics ( or rugs, or whatever) you have in the room. If you've never been to a Color Me Mine studio, you should try it! It's addicting.

My Stuff
My cute, talented and very helpful niece Chelsea has told me that I need to show pictures of some of the things I have done. So if this bores you, it's her fault!
I spent a lot of time, for a while, making purses. It was lots of fun, and I only took pictures of maybe a tenth of what I actually made. But here are some of them for you to check out. I really don't have time to sew them anymore, but once in a while I get a hankering to make a new one, and I whip one up. There is so much great fabric out there now, it's hard not to make a new purse for every one of them! (But I resist the temptation.)

Blink-182 is the eponymously titled fifth studio album by American pop-punk band Blink-182. It was produced by Jerry Finn and released November 18, 2003, through Geffen Records. Following the band's ascent to stardom and success of their prior two releases, the trio were compelled to take a break and subsequently participated in various side projects (Box Car Racer and Transplants). When they regrouped, the band felt inspired to approach song structure and arrangements differently on their next effort together. The record was left untitled as to refrain from labeling its content, and its packaging features a "smiley face" logo inspired by pop art.
Recorded throughout 2003, Blink-182 marks a departure from the band's earlier work, infusing experimental elements into their usual pop punk sound, inspired by lifestyle changes (the band members all became fathers before the album was released) and side projects. Its songs are characterized by downcast and expansive sonic atmospheres, showcasing what critics dubbed a more elaborate, mature side of the band. Songwriting is more personal in nature and explores darker territory, touching upon the realities of adulthood and unexpected hardships. The record features a collaboration with The Cure frontman Robert Smith.
Fans were generally split regarding the band's "new" direction, but the record proved successful, selling 2.2 million copies in the United States. The album received positive reviews, with critics welcoming the change in tone. Lead singles "Feeling This" and "I Miss You" received the most radio airplay of the four singles released and peaked high on Billboard charts. The worldwide touring schedule, which saw the band travel to Japan and Australia, also found the three performing for troops stationed in the Middle East. Blink-182 was the band's last recording with longtime producer Jerry Finn and their final original material before a four-year-long hiatus.

|Pittman Hired as Soccer HC
MOSCOW, Idaho—Derek Pittman, a four-year associate head coach at Gonzaga University, was hired Monday as the fourth head coach in the history of the University of Idaho women's soccer program, Director of Athletics Rob Spear announced.
Pittman, 39, comes to Idaho with 13 years of collegiate coaching experience under his belt which includes three years as a head coach at Arkansas State.
He spent the last four seasons as the associate head coach at Gonzaga. While at Gonzaga he was responsible for the day-to-day training of the defenders and oversaw the goalkeeper training. Under his guidance the 2013 Gonzaga goalkeeping corps recorded its best goals-against average in the last seven years.
Pittman played professionally for the Amateur Football Club in England while studying at Lancaster University. After training with the Division I Sheffield United and Burnley Football Club, he returned to the United States and played with the Columbus Comets and the Savannah RugRatz in the Eastern Indoor Soccer League.
Pittman, who is licensed by the United States Soccer Federation with a USSF "A" coaching license, has also coached on the club level including stints with the Pride Soccer Club of Missouri, the Tulsa Soccer Club of Oklahoma and the Little Rock Futbol Club of Arkansas.
"I am extremely excited to be the new head soccer coach at the University of Idaho," Pittman stated. "I would like to sincerely thank Rob Spear and everyone on the search committee for affording me this tremendous opportunity and I am honored to have this chance to work with our student-athletes to build a successful Vandal soccer program.
"During my conversations with Rob about this opening, it was clear that the University of Idaho is committed to competing at the highest level, winning on the field as well as achieving success in the classroom. I am confident that with that support we will compete for both academic awards and championships on the field as we move forward in the Big Sky Conference."
Idaho was 4-16 in 2013, finishing 4-8 in the Western Athletic Conference. The Vandals qualified for their fourth consecutive WAC Tournament, bowing out in the semifinals. Idaho returns 16 letterwinners from last season, losing six to graduation.
"I would like to take this chance to thank Amy Edwards and Gonzaga for the opportunity to represent that institution," Pittman added. "It was very rewarding to coach such quality players and experience immense growth as a coach on the Bulldog staff these past four years."
Gonzaga finished 7-11-1 last fall, including a 3-6 mark in West Coast Conference play. The Bulldogs dropped eight games by one goal margin last fall, totaling 1.11 goals per game. In his four years at Gonzaga, Pittman has helped coach the Bulldogs to 30 wins. In Pittman's third season on staff, the Bulldogs opened the year winning five of their first six matches, including a four-match win streak, the second longest since 2005.
In Pittman's first year at Gonzaga, the Bulldogs put together an impressive run that saw themselves as contenders for a spot in the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship. Before the 2010 season began, the Bulldogs were picked to finish seventh in the WCC preseason. Gonzaga finished fourth in the standings, earning three league victories.
Prior to his stint at ASU, Pittman served as an assistant coach at the University of Missouri (2004-06) and at the University of Georgia (2003-04). Pittman helped both programs achieve season-bests in shutouts and goals against averages during his time with the Tigers and Bulldogs. In 2003, the Georgia Bulldogs finished 13-10-0 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Pittman and his wife, Amber, have two daughters, Emma, and Jozy.

I can't think of a solo album by Mike where he sings all the vocals, I mean, when you hear Mike singing in Linkin Park, his verses are 95% the quieter ones (IB, BITS, Blackout HHH, the LT songs, etc.), and I'm not sure if he can pull a wide enough range of vocals to sustain an album. There is No Roads Left though, but it's more of an exception.
He's an awesome musician, but he's not ready for that... Yet.
mike is good in LP if he made a solo album it would be interesting cant say it will happen though
And no I'm not your soldier, I'm not taking any orders
I'm a five star general infantry controller, need a lesson, let me show you.
Have you checking your composure while I make you step to it like
He probably could and it would still beat Meteora(high five!)
When Mike sings, he has a sincereness to his voice. I would rather see that focused into more Linkin Park songs rather than another side project.
His passion first is Linkin Park. I would say his second passion and his very first in the beginning is hip-hop/rap. So I couldnt see him putting an honest effort into a project like that. It would be interesting though.
Although I love Mike singing, I don´t think there is a need of a solo project, he just should sing more with LP as he does in Living Things. Besides, like some others in here, I don´t think he would be interested in such a project. I couldn´t compare Mike and Chester singing, because I love them both singing, but I guess that Chester has a wider spectre of using his voice as he is much more experienced in that.

Economists are predicting today's reports will show that home prices are declining at a slower rate (yay!), and consumer confidence will be up (double yay!). Most European countries agreed to tighter budget controls. Greek debt talks were not horrible, which contributed to this morning's lower mortgage-backed security prices. Seeing how treasury yields were at five-year record lows at close yesterday, a pull back in prices seems probable.
What's Up on Wall Street?
It was a fairly quiet day for stocks yesterday, as investors walk on eggshells waiting to hear what comes out of Greece. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 6.74 points (0.05 percent). The Nasdaq Composite fell 4.61 points (0.16 percent), and the S&P 500 was the biggest loser of the day, falling 3.32 points (0.25 percent).

"General Hospital" fans have been voicing opinions of the "new" Luke Spencer all across social media. While some think the writers are making Anthony Geary's character more like the Luke Spencer from the early days of Luke and Laura, the other end of the spectrum think the writing is ruining the character making him more unbelievable than ever. According to a March 21 report from Celebrity Dirty Laundry, the writers are trying to force Anthony Geary out of "General Hospital" because of his salary demands. Geary films the show approximately 18 weeks a year and garners a $1.5 million paycheck.
Whether or not "General Hospital" writers are trying to write out Anthony Geary is just speculation. The writers have been set on giving the soap an old feel, incorporating history into the current story lines. While some of it was quite welcomed, other stuff is making fans uncomfortable. The scenes between Kiki (Kristen Alderson) and Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) are downright creepy in the eyes of most fans, even though the Luke and Laura story line was born from Luke raping Laura.
As the story line develops, more will become clear. Right now fans aren't sure where things are headed and whether or not Anthony Geary plans to stick around "General Hospital." Fans will be sorry to see him go, but taking his character downhill like this is way worse. Hopefully the show and Anthony Geary will come to an agreement and fans can have the "old" Luke Spencer back.

The important role that women have played in preserving the ballads, folk, and sacred songs of the Blue Ridge mountains has lately come to be acknowledged and documented. Less attention has been given to women's contributions to the instrumental music traditions of the region. Through the generations, female fiddlers, banjo players, and guitarists have mastered the repertoire and techniques of old-time music and have inspired and entertained their friends and families.

Cigarette Butts Are Toxic Waste1
Just look around. They're everywhere. In 2005, an estimated 135 million pounds of cigarette butts were dumped into the U.S. environment.2 Cigarette butts are the most common toxic waste found in cleanups and the number one item found on California highways.3 4 And contrary to popular belief, they do not decompose completely.5
- The toxic chemicals in cigarette butts are a threat to our aquatic ecosystems1.
- The substances that leach out are highly toxic to freshwater micro-organisms.1 6 7
- In 2010, over one million cigarettes were removed from California beaches and inland waterways as part of the annual International Coastal Cleanup.8
Worldwide, it is estimated that 1.69 billion pounds of cigarette butts end up as waste each year. 910 A study conducted by the California Department of Transportation found that cigarette butts make up 34 percent of the total waste captured in California.11
The production of cigarettes is very damaging to the environment. It is estimated that one tree is consumed for every 300 cigarettes produced - that's one tree for every one and a half cartons.12
Smoking poses a direct threat to our forests, homes and parks.12 Discarded cigarette butts have been linked to large wildfires, resulting in the destruction of wildlife, vegetation and property.14 Cigarette-induced fires claim hundreds of lives in California each year, not to mention the millions of dollars in property damage.
California spends $41 million annually on waste clean up.15 Cigarette butts make up 34 percent of the total waste captured in California.14 A 2009 study on the impact of tobacco waste in San Francisco streets found that tobacco waste accounted for 25 percent of all litter. It was estimated that cigarette butt waste clean up costs San Francisco approximately $7.4 million annually.16 Soon after the results were released, San Francisco enacted a cigarette clean up fee which is used to cleanup butts from streets, tourist venues and storm drains.

Event Detail
event description
It's that time of year again when we celebrate the holiday season and look forward to a new year. Our annual holiday party is always a highlight in Giant Step calendar, so this year we are excited to once again invite you to join us. To make things even better we have Ali Shaheed Muhammad as our guest DJ for the evening.
Although we have worked with him for many years as member of A Tribe Called Quest, this is his Giant Step debut as a DJ! DJ San Gabriel from Berlin will be opening up the festivities. So please join us on Monday December 17th at Le Bain!
More Info about Ali Shaheed Muhammad:
DJ/Producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad is known around the world as one-third of the legendary hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, but he began his musical career in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York. Ali then spent years DJ-ing parties in his Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood and recorded a slew of demos before co-founding Tribe in 1985 with Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Jarobi. Tribe, however, is just one representation of Ali's talent. He's worked with a wide range of artists, including Faith Evans, Mos Def, and D'Angelo, the last of whom he collaborated on the Grammy-nominated single, Brown Sugar, in 1995. In 1999 he co-founded the star trio Lucy Pearl, aligning with Dawn Robinson, formerly of En Vogue, and Raphael Saadiq, of Tony! Toni! Toné!Lucy Pearl fused funk, rock, R&B and hip-hop to create an organic, sexy sound that was unprecedented at the time and still unmatched today. The group's self-titled debut album produced the hits Don't Mess With My Man, and Dance Tonight, the latter nominated for a Grammy in the best vocal performance by a duo or group category.
Ali has also built up a solo career, beginning with his 2004 debut LP Shaheedulah and Stereotypes, featuring the dance song "All Night". Ali keeps busy by performing as a DJ around the globe, reaching music fans of all types, each gig adding to the journey he started as an 8-year-old in Brooklyn.

The MSU-SJU series gets underway Friday at 4 p.m. followed Saturday by a single game at 12 p.m. The Bulldogs and the Hawks close out the weekend with a Sunday twinbill set for a 1 p.m. start.
The radio broadcast of Friday's series-opener will be carried on the statewide MSU Baseball Radio network while the Saturday and Sunday games will be local broadcasts only and heard in the Golden Triangle on WNMQ-FM (103.1). Live audio and multi-camera video streaming for all four MSU-SJU games will be available online to HailStateTV subscribers (http://www.hailstate.com/hstvlive).
The Bulldogs enter the weekend series after having registered a pair of lopsided midweek wins (13-2 and 17-5) over Rhode Island, another Atlantic 10 Conference foe. Junior first baseman Alex Detz (.423) delivered five hits and drove in five runs in the two-game set. The California native has taken the team RBI lead with 12 runs driven in. Junior outfielder C.T. Bradford (.366) has hit safely in his last seven games and has reached base safely in all 11 games this season. Junior shortstop Adam Frazier (.465) registered his sixth and seventh multi-hit games in the midweek and leads the Southeastern Conference with 20 hits.
Sophomore lefty Jacob Lindgren (1-0, 1.59) is tabbed for his third pitching start of the season in Friday's series opener. Freshman lefty Jack Stover (0-0, 0.00) is expected to draw his first career start for the Hawks.
State begins the weekend with an SEC-best .336 team batting average and No. 3 league rankings in both staff earned run average (1.55) and fielding percentage (.980). The Bulldog defense leads the SEC with 14 double plays turned.
The stadium ticket office opens two hours prior to each game. General admission tickets cost $5 and are available each day and are good for open seating in the Dudy Noble Field grandstand where season ticket patrons are not present.

Jay-Z stopped by New York's Hot 97 Monday afternoon to address rumors that he and Kanye West are at odds just days before the release of their collaborative album Watch The Throne. Ever the professional, Hov could only give DJ Angie Martinez 15 minutes of his time before jetting off to the Rocawear offices, but that's all he needed to squash any belief that he and 'Ye have had a falling out. In between raving over Derek Jeter—glad to hear someone's not a jaded New York sports fan—and sharing his workout secrets (use the desire to drag someone down the street as your motivation to run that extra mile) Jay set the record about Kanye's lavish demands straight. "I kind of want to spend a gazillion dollars. I think they got it backwards," he laughed. "Kanye's my brother. Yes we get on each other's nerves, but that's part of pushing each other. We push each other. The people who have a problem with Kanye or myself are the people who are complacent in life." The pair has already proven that they can travel together, so planning a live tour should really be a piece of cake, even if minor disagreements come along. "So of course there are times when we're in the studio and we're yelling but that's about it. I would never disrespect that man. I have so much respect for him, I would never put my hands on him," he concluded. And we can breath again. As there needed to be more hype around the project, Jay unsurprisingly called the album a 10. "The music that we made for this album is perfect," he said. "It's almost like how 'D.O.A.' was the perfect single at the perfect time, I think this album is the perfect album at the perfect time." Feud or non-feud, we're at T-minus seven, friends.

With a 7 a.m. CT, tip on Tuesday morning at Valparaiso for the ESPN College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon, much of the game preparation for the Huskies is different than for a normal game. For the next 24 hours Huskie fans can follow us as we show you how the Huskies prepare for the early morning start. Monday 7 a.m. (24 hours to game time): For the second-straight day, practice began at 6 a.m., as the players, and coaches, try to get ready for the early morning start. But practice at 6 a.m., doesn't mean the day started at six. Basketball athletic trainer Phil Voorhis, for example, opened the training room at 4:45 a.m., this morning to begin taping and treatments. 7:23 am: Practice concludes a little early so that players with 8 a.m., class have extra time get to class. Those that aren't headed to class stay and get in a few extra free throws. 8 a.m. (23 hours to game time): Coach Montgomery meets with members of the local media. Most of the talk centers around the unusual nature of the early start and how that changes the preparation for the team. Montgomery is also quick to point out the quality of tomorrow's opponent, Valparaiso, a 22-win team last season that returns all five starters. 10:45 am: With the players in class, the NIU staff catches up on work in the office. Some members of the staff have to run home and pack while final logistics of the trip are wrapped up. Although the scouting report for Valparaiso is complete, there is still plenty of work to be done to prep for future opponents. 12:40 pm: The bus arrives at the Convocation Center. Managers and staff begin loading, one-by-one the players make their way to the bus.1 pm (18 hours to game time): Right on time the bus departs for Valparaiso. As the bus departs, most members of the travel party are busy eating lunch (Giordano's). Others on the bus read or sleep. After a 409-mile trip to Omaha to begin the season, today's 112-mile journey feels like a ride across town. 3:05 pm: After a much quieter bus ride than normal (most of the players took the chance to catch up on some sleep after the early morning practice). The bus arrives at the team hotel. The Huskies have a couple hours to rest and study before film and tonight's shootaround.5 pm (14 hours to game time): Before heading to shootaround, the Huskies continue their final prep for Valparaiso with a film session. As is the case with every opponent, film focuses on both the sets and the personnel the Huskies will see tomorrow from the Crusaders.6 pm (13 hours to game time): NIU arrives at the Athletics-Recreation Center at Valparaiso for shootaround. The one-hour session gives the Huskies a chance to get familiar with the court, the rims and the surroundings. Coach Montgomery also takes some time during the hour to speak with Beth Mowins and LaPhonso Ellis, who will call the game tomorrow morning.8:13 pm: The Huskies return to the hotel after dinner, where they were joined by Associate V.P./Director of Athletics Jeff Compher. Upon their return, Montgomery meets briefly with his team to explain the schedule for the night and tomorrow morning. Lights out in less than an hour. 3:45 am: Wakeup call for the players is still 30 minutes away, but members of the staff are beginning to their day. A quick check of the Marathon sees Hawaii leading Houston Baptist at halftime. Gonzaga posted a big win over West Virginia and New Mexico defeated Davidson while we were sleeping. 5 am (two hours to game time): The last set of ankles has just been taped. The players are slowly finished a light meal. In the lobby of the hotel, members of the staff watch the Houston Baptist vs. Hawaii game currently on ESPN. Hawaii leads 71-56 with 1:55 to play. Bus leaves in 15 minutes.5:22 am: The bus arrives at Valparaiso. The voice of the Huskies, Bill Baker, informs us that he has been on-site since 4:58 a.m.6 am (one hour to game time): As unusual as this sounds, in many ways it's just another game now. ESPN is here, so that is certainly different, but the warm-ups are normal, the other game preparations are normal. The doors have just opened and some fans are beginning to file in.6:30 am (30 minutes to game time): The students have come out in strong numbers here at Valparaiso, clad in bright neon shirts. Bill Baker and Casey Kahler will be on the air shortly on radio and the Huskies have just reemerged from the locker room.6:50 am (10 minutes to game time): The crowd continues to file in; the students are definitely in full voice and ready to go. A big challenge in front of us with a very good Valparaiso team but the Huskies are ready.7 am (Game time!): The national anthem is done, starting lineups are being introduced. Here we go!

Sure, taking the New York City subway as a tourist can be daunting -- especially with daily changes and the disorientation of going underground. But once you get the hang of it, it's actually quite easy to figure out; and perhaps most importantly, its can be a major time and money saver. Or perhaps even more importantly, you just may spot a celebrity during your public transportation voyage. Here are nine celebrities who ride the subway on the reg.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Just like SATC's Carrie Bradshaw, JSP can be frugal too. She's regularly spotted on the subway with her brood -- including hubby Matthew Broderick -- as they run errands around their West Village neighborhood.
Hugh Jackman
Now this would be a sight worth taking the subway for! This Aussie transplant calls NYC home and does just like the locals do by taking the subway.
Jay-Z famously took the subway to one of his concerts at the Barclays Center. It caused quite a stir, leading to a fellow rider -- and elderly woman, who is an artist in her own rite -- to ask him if he was famous. See the video here.
Naomi Watts
A regular spotting in her SoHo neighborhood, Naomi Watts often takes the subway with her partner Liev Schreiber and their sons. They can often be seen on the way to school.
Grace Coddington
You may not recognize her but you'll certainly notice the hair! Grace Coddington, the creative director at Vogue and subsequently Anna Wintour's right-hand woman, sits front row at Fashion Week -- and sits just like everyone else on the subway.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Like his sister Maggie, Jake Gyllenhaal has been living bi-coastally for years and always takes the subway when he's in the Big Apple. He's often on his way to SoulCycle, another locals' favorite!
Anne Hathaway
Like her Love and Other Drugs costar, Anne Hathaway does like the locals do and takes the subway. She even took it with a slinged arm! That's dedication.
Neil Patrick Harris
When he's in New York City -- whether for a Broadway production or just taking a reprieve from the chaos of L.A. -- Neil Patrick relies on public transportation to get from spot to spot.
Zooey Deschanel
She doesn't act like The New Girl in NYC! Instead, Deschanel seems like a city pro by taking the subway when she's in Manhattan. And bonus: she often takes it with famous friends.

|Vandals fall at home
MOSCOW, Idaho - Saturday, the early-game ditch in which Idaho's Vandals found themselves was just a little too deep this time.
Down 24-0 before things started to click offensively and defensively, the Vandals rallied late only to fall 31-21 to Fresno State in a Western Athletic Conference game at the Kibbie Dome. Idaho is 7-3 and 4-2 in the WAC, while Freso State is 6-3, 5-1.
"We gave up too many points early," Idaho coach Robb Akey said. "That was a hole we had a hard time digging ourselves out of."
Fresno State needed just one run by the nation's leading rusher, Ryan Mathews, to take the lead in the game. His 77-yard romp from scrimmage gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead just 19 seconds into the game. From that point, however, Mathews, who carries a 164.5-yard rushing average, covered only 66 yards.
Fresno State tacked on three more scores - an 18-yard pass from Ryan Colburn to Seyi Ajirotutu, a 52-yard field goal by Kevin Goessling and a one-yard run by Mathews to take a 24-0 lead into the halftime locker room.
The second half was a different story. After being outgained 248-118 in the first half, Idaho had the edge, 352-92, in the second half. Brian Reader, in at quarterback in place of injured Nate Enderle, went from a 2-10 for 29 yards in the first half to 10-of-15 for 211 yards in the second. The running back trio of DeMaundray Woolridge (97 yards), Princeton McCarty (59 yards) and Deonte Jackson (31) added another 140 in the second half as the Vandals made dents in Fresno State's lead.
But, this time time ran out.
"What I appreciate very much and I love about this football team is that it does believe it's capable of accomplishing some things and it will compete," Akey said. "I saw that and that's great with this football team.
"We've got to start earlier than that. That's just plain and simple the way it is."
Maurice Shaw continued to show development as a threat in the passing game first with an athletic one-handed first-down grab in the first quarter then with a flashy 69-yard catch and run TD with 25 seconds left in the game. The two-point conversion pass fell short leaving the Vandals with a 10-point deficit instead of the eight, which, even though there was precious little time left, would have left them a chance after they regained possession with an onside kick.

Luke West pitched four scoreless innings to earn the win.
May 20, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah infielder Cory Hunt hit a bases-loaded RBI single in the 13th inning as the Ute baseball team completed a three-game sweep of Kansas with a 7-6 victory on Monday afternoon.
The Utes (20-29) had rallied from a two-run deficit to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning before winning it in the 13th. Bret Helton led off the 13th inning with a single through the left side and TJ Bennett reached on an error by the first baseman. Kody Davis was hit by the pitch to load the bases with one out. After Wyler Smith hit a short fly ball that held the runners on base, Hunt hit a fly ball deep to right field that just went over the leaping outfielder's head for the victory.
Luke West earned the victory on the mound after pitching four innings, allowing no runs on five hits, striking out three. West raises his record to 4-2 on the year. Tanner Banks started the game, pitching five innings with five runs (four earned) on four hits, striking out two. Joe Pond threw 3 2/3 innings and had two strikeouts while Nick Green faced one batter in the ninth.
Utah was led at the plate by Tyler Relf, who went 3-for-6 on the day. Helton was 2-for-6 on the day. Braden Anderson drove in two runs for the Utes.
Kansas took a 4-0 lead with two runs in the second and third innings. Alex DeLeon hit a two-run home run in the third for the Jayhawks.
Utah came back to tie the game with a four-run third inning. AJ Young and TJ Bennett both walked to lead off the inning and both runners would score on Anderson's two-RBI single. Hunt also walked and Dallas Carroll executed a hit-and-run to send Anderson home. Hunt would score on a ground out to tie the game.
Kansas took a 6-4 lead with two runs in the sixth inning. The Jayhawks loaded the bases with no outs after a double, walk and infield single, and a ground out and sacrifice fly led to two runs.
Kansas led 6-4 before the Utes rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning. Relf and Helton singled to lead off the inning, and pinch hitter Tyler Yagi bunted and put runners at the corners after an out at second base. Relf scored on a ground out to cut the lead to one run. Pinch hitter Connor Eppard hit a high bouncing infield single to put runners at the corners, and Smith drove in the game-tying run with a slow infield single to score Yagi, as a tough throw by the second baseman was wide of its mark. The Jayhawks got out of the inning with a strikeout, pushing the game to extra innings.
Both teams had chances in extra innings. Each team left runners on in the 10th and 11th innings, while Kansas also stranded a runner in the 12th. The Jayhawks had two singles to lead off the 13th inning, but the Utes got a fly ball and double play to end the threat.
Utah closes out its season this weekend against top-10 team Oregon, with the three-game series in Salt Lake City beginning on Friday, May 24, at 6:00 p.m. MT.

Reflections on the UCLA game
"The big thing I addressed the team about was that there were a lot of positives that came out of the UCLA game. The bottom line that's very hard for everyone in our football program was losing to UCLA, again, in a game that was winable. You've got to finish those games and you've got to get those wins."
"There were a lot of positives. Our kicking game was a lot better from the Ohio State game to the UCLA game. We covered a lot better. We protected our punter better. All of our cover teams, especially our kickoff coverage, was a lot better."
"On defense, we stopped UCLA 15 out of 20 on third and fourth down situation, and three of those came on penalties...One of the big things we wanted to correct on defense was to be better on 3rd-and-7 or more. I think the exact stat on it was they were 3rd-and-7 or more eight times, and we stopped them seven times."
"As far as their running game, I thought we did a good job of stopping DeShawn Foster. He had the one 50-yarder on us. But other than that, I think the final stat was we held their running game to 2.8 per carry. So I think we did a very good job in that area. But we need to do a better job against the no-huddle. We need to work on that a little bit. But overall, defensively, I thought we played a good game."
"That was as good a defensive effort I've seen since we've come here. That and the Air Force game in 1997. I thought our defense played very well."
"Offensively, we had a hard time getting the run going. We're going to keep running the football, because I think that's important. Paris Gaines got a few more reps this week than against Ohio State. Hopefully, with these two weeks, we'll have him back to 100 percent by the time we hit Cal. Hopefully, Derrick Ward will be over his ankle and knee injuries, which I don't think our major injuries. We need those two players at full strength."
"UCLA defensively is a very good team. It's going to be tough sledding against teams of that caliber. But you've got to run the football, and we need to get better at that. I thought we did a lot better job with our protection this week. David [Carr] had a lot more time to get the ball downfield, especially in the fourth quarter. I thought our protection was excellent when we really needed to have good protection."
"I think once again, as a team, the conditioning showed up. I've always thought this team is a well, well conditioned football team. Our program stresses conditioning, and I think once again it showed up in the fourth quarter. It really showed up defensively the entire game. They had the ball 38 minutes of the game."
"I told our team afterward that 21 months ago, we had just finished a 5-6 season. And UCLA and Ohio State were going into the end of the season ranked No. 1 and 2 in the nation. Through all of it there has been a lot of improvement in 21 months. It just doesn't show right now in the wins and losses. But I think this football team and this football program is getting better."
What improved offensively from the Ohio State game to the UCLA game
"I think the biggest improvement we made was in protection. We haven't had the same group of offensive linemen on the field for any period of time, which has really hindered our development. But I think our players packed it in pretty tight against UCLA. Rodney Michael, who's one of our top players, went down in the first quarter. Mike Stovall went over to center. Freshman Fitu Tu'ua, who missed all week with a shoulder, had to go in at right guard. Overall, that group played well, especially in the fourth quarter when we had to protect well."
On the game Jeremy Johnson had
"I've said it before, I don't know if people have heard me talk about it, but Jeremy Johnson is an outstanding prospect. I think Jeremy Johnson has shown, two weeks in a row, that he's ready to play at this level. He's a game player. I think two or three years from now, with the development and the size and the things he has going for him, he can be one of the premier tight ends in the country."
On the no-huddle offense
"We like the no-huddle. We've used it here before. We used it last year against TCU and the year before against Oregon. We use it situations when we think we are in better condition that somebody. To use it early in the game is not to our advantage. We need to pick the times when we use it. A lot of times when we use it, it's very hard for us to use motions and things like that which gives us some advantage...I think we will use it at times because David is comfortable with it."
On playing California
"They pounded Utah pretty good...Cal pretty well dominated the game. They are very, very good on defense. This will be our third straight game against a very good defensive football team. Once again, we are going to have play well defensively. I don't see this being a high scoring football game. It's going to be a very tough football game. A lot of it is going to depend on field position."
"Ohio State and UCLA are good defensive teams. We've played two very good defensive teams, and Cal will be a third. They led the Pac-10 in defense last year...They are similar to us. They play very hard on defense."

Searchers Hear More Underwater Pings, Hope to Find Flight 370 Wreckage Within 'Days'
Officials have "confidence" that they're looking in the right area.
An Australian vessel has picked up two more underwater "pings" consistent with signals from an airplane's black box, and the official coordinating the search says he's hopeful that wreckage from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 will be found "within a matter of days." The Australian navy's Ocean Shield lost the signal after picking up two pings on Sunday, but on Tuesday it detected two sounds "not of natural origin." The pings were heard for just five and a half and seven minutes, and the signals were weaker than they were two days ago. That would fit with black boxes running out of battery life after a 33-day search. "What we're picking up is a great lead," said Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston. "I have confidence that we're in the right area. I'm not prepared to confirm anything until such time as someone has laid eyes on the wreckage."
Fifteen aircraft and 14 ships are still searching the Indian Ocean for signs of wreckage on the surface, but locating the black boxes and other debris underwater will be far more difficult. The Ocean Shield, which is equipped with a U.S. Navy pinger locator, is the only vessel currently searching underwater, as more ships would just create noise pollution.
Now searchers are hoping to use the last transmissions from the black boxes to narrow down the underwater search area before deploying the Bluefin-21, an unmanned submarine that can create a sonar map of debris on the ocean floor. The Bluefin-21 moves about six times slower than the pinger towed by the Ocean Shield, and can only dive to a depth of about 2.8 miles. Parts of the search area are deeper than that, as shown by the Washington Post's excellent graphic.
It may take different underwater vessels and multiple attempts to determine whether Flight 370 is at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, but Houston said he's "optimistic that we will find the aircraft, or what is left of the aircraft, in the not too distant future."
