Daniel Price wanted professional basketball in Pikeville just as much or more than anybody.
He tried to move his Mississippi Blues organization up here last year, but was unsuccessful. Price was the 2009/2010 ABA defensive player of the year, a ABA Western Conference All-Star and averaged 25.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, four assists and three steals per game this past season. So when given the chance to sign with the ABA's East Kentucky Energy, Price jumped at the chance to return here to play.
"It's always a good thing when I can come back to Pikeville and play," Price said. "I love it here and I am happy there is a pro organization back here."
Price became the second player to sign with the newly formed East Kentucky Energy.
"I'm just excited that Jerry (Boggs) and Tommy (Hamilton) decided to do this," Price said. "I've known Jerry for a while and Tommy too. I know that they are local guys who live here and have their business here. It's just reassuring to know that the owners are going to be right here supported the product and doing whatever they can to make the organization grow, instead of just bringing a team in and then going home to Florida. They are doing this for their community and want to see this community grow in every way it can. I'm excited to be a part of that and can't wait to give back to this community."
After the first tryout, the Energy also signed Jarell Jones another former Pikeville College guard.
Hamilton and his wife, Charla, or owners of Champs Sports Bar and Grill on Main Street. Boggs is editor of the Appalachian News-Express.
"Our goal from the start has been to build this team with strong local ties and root it in the community," said Hamilton. "Daniel is a huge part of that. He was a tremendous player for Pikeville College and an ABA All-Star last year. His talent on the court and his leadership ability makes him a huge asset for the Energy."
Price has been running his own ABA franchise the Mississippi Blues for the past two seasons, so his knowledge of the ABA and what it takes to be successful will also be an asset to the Energy.
"I'm going to be on the court playing and visible to the fans, but I can also be the kind of behind the scenes guy too if they need me to be," Price said. "I own my own franchise, the Mississippi Blues, so I know how to operate a franchise. I am going to do whatever they ask of me to help this franchise to be as successful as possible. Whether that is helping with organizing events within the community or running practices or trying to gain new sponsors."
Paintsville legend and current Phelps girls coach J.R. VanHoose was the first player to sign with the Energy. Price talked about getting the chance to play alongside VanHoose.
"Daniel is a great compliment to J.R. both on and off the court," said Boggs. "Both are natural-born leaders, have played professionally, been head coaches and know the game of basketball. And just as importantly they are two great people in the community to be
ambassadors of the East Kentucky Energy."
Price has competed against VanHoose professionally and said he's looking forward to combining for a talented inside-outside threat.
"I think signing a player the caliber of J.R. VanHoose was great," Price said. "He is a local guy with a proven track record. I played against him in the KBDL and I know what he can do. He is a player, flat out. He has ties to Eastern Kentucky and I think that is great that the Energy are looking to sign guys from Eastern Kentucky who can play. I have always told people that Eastern Kentucky has a lot of great talent. I played at Pikeville and have a lot of friends here, so they are looking at guys who have a reason to play hard and build a team this community can really support. I think the fans will really get behind this team."
This past Saturday, the Energy held their first tryouts. Price was on hand to help with the drills and evaluate the talent that showed up.
"You can already tell that there is major interest in this team," Price said. "There was a good turnout this early. The season doesn't start until December and there were guys here from Detroit and North Carolina and the rest were local guys. There is a need for pro basketball here in Pikeville. Basketball keeps growing here with the success of the high school teams and Pikeville College and now the East Kentucky Energy wants to be a part of that growing success of East Kentucky basketball."
Price has signed on with the Energy, but he hasn't decided what he is going to do with his franchise the Mississippi Blues.
"I really haven't decided what I'm going to do with my team," Price said. "I got somebody who has offered to buy it, but I don't know what I'm going to do with the team yet. It's just kind of up in the air. Right now, I'm just excited about coming back to Pikeville and playing with the Energy."
After an impressive performance at the first tryouts, Jones earned a spot on the East Kentucky Energy roster. Jones played at Pikeville College and was a part of Price's Mississippi Blues squad last season.
"Jarell Jones is another Pikeville College product who has had tremendous success playing professionally," said Boggs. "He turned in a great performance at the first tryout and was happy to come back to Pikeville to play basketball again."
Jones and Price will form a talented backcourt with years of experience playing together.
"Jarrell and DP have played together professionally, collegiately at Pikeville College, and played against each other in high school and AAU," said Hamilton. "Their familiarity with one another will make them a tough duo in this league. We're happy to bring Jarell back to Pikeville to continue his basketball career."
The East Kentucky squad has three roster spots filled and will keep building the Energy until the start of the ABA season.

An excerpt from An Irresistible History of Southern Food by Rick McDaniel, published by The History Press.
On March 3, 1791, the newly minted United States government imposed a federal excise tax on stills and distilled spirits. This didn't set well with the Scotsmen who settled the rugged coves and hollows of the Appalachian Mountains, as it reminded them a little too much of the tax the British had made them pay back home. Since they had dodged the British tax collectors for years, they pretty much ignored the tax and started making liquor on the sly.
For someSoutherners, it was the amount of tax levied by the government that kept their whiskey making on the other side of the law. As one mountaineer explained to Horace Kephart, author of Our Southern Highlanders (1913): "Nobody refuses to pay his taxes for taxes is fair and squar'. Taxes costs mebbe three cents on the dollar; and that's all right. But revenue costs a dollar and ten cents on twenty cents' worth o' liquor; and that's robbin' the people with a gun to their faces. Now, yan's my field o' corn. I gather the corn, and shuck hit, and grind hit my own self, and the woman she bakes us a pone o' bread to eat—and I don't pay no tax, do I? Then why can't I make some o' my corn into pure whiskey to drink, without payin' tax?"
Although moonshining occurred in many areas of the South, it was mostly concentrated in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee and northeast Georgia.
Corn liquor was a valuable trading commodity in a region where cash money was scarce.
Someone who had corn liquor could trade for powder and shot, flour, gingham and calico for the lady of the house, chewing tobacco or whatever else they needed or wanted to make life in the wilderness more pleasant.
Oftentimes would-be moonshiners went in with family or friends to pool resources to purchase a used still or to procure the parts to assemble a new one. The basic still consisted of a sealed copper kettle or pot in which to cook the mash and a copper condensing coil called a worm.
The distillation process for moonshine required a fire to "cook" off the alcohol. Since this produced large amounts of smoke and steam, the process was carried out at night far back in the woods, where the fire was indistinguishable from any normal campfire. Since the operation was carried out by the light of the moon, the word moonshine entered the American vernacular as both noun and verb.

I came across your page while I was finding some moonshine recipes (and yes I make my own alcohol). I live in NY and luckily the lawmakers here allowed us a small-scale distillers license to enjoy this hobby (unlike in other states). I must agree about the excise tax issue here, it's the sole reason why home distilling is still illegal. However I'm delighted to see how this craft is coming back, there is now a growing number of distilling shops online like http://www.whiskeystill.net/ and the ones in ebay. Sooner or later I hope this stuff can finally be legal like brewing beer.

Astros president Reid Ryan expects the club's season-ticket sales to be at the same level as they were in 2013.
Ryan says the club is down in season-ticket renewals but a bit up on new season-ticket sales.
"So basically flat," he said while visiting camp at Osceola County Stadium. "Renewals are close to 90 percent."

Mr. Rie's card number was stolen from a gas station pump by a gang that got hundreds of people's number in one or two nights. They install super thin readers inside the pump's reader and so it's really hard to know what's what.
Anyhoo, our bank told him that was his one-time fraud reimbursement and they wouldn't give him back any money next time. Most of the approximately $2000 in charges happened online in a matter of minutes originating from computers in Russia.
Strange how the world works, huh?

Probationary and Qualifying Periods
All new, regular employees must serve a probationary period of six months. This probationary period gives you time to learn the duties of the job and decide whether the job is right for you. During the probationary period, you must demonstrate your ability to satisfactorily perform the job for which you were hired. If your work is judged to be unsatisfactory, you may be dismissed at any time during the six-month probationary period.
During the probationary period, if you experience problems in performing the duties assigned to you or you have concerns about your performance, you should discuss these matters with your supervisor. Under unusual circumstances, the probationary period may be extended up to three months. However, no employee may remain on probation for longer than nine months.
Employees who have completed their six-month probationary period and who are subsequently transferred or promoted must serve a one month qualifying period in the new position. If during this time period it is determined that the employee is not qualified or the employee does not wish to continue in the new position, the employee will be returned to the previously held position, if available, or a comparable one in the department, if available, or be placed on a six-month leave of absence from the former department to be considered for available openings in the department and on the campus as they occur. If the employee does not find employment on the campus within the six-month period, the employee will be terminated. (HR 109, HR 112)

If we go by the number of expert groups constituted in recent years to re-examine the methodology of conducting BPL census and to assess poverty, it is tempting to conclude that all is not well with the poor. While official estimates are self-congratulatory in portraying a significant reduction in poverty over the decade 1993-2004-from about 37% to over 28% — as a direct consequence of the liberalisation of the Indian economy and the concomitant growth acceleration, the expert groups are at pains to underplay or steer clear of the implications of a marked decline in calorie intake over the period 1983-2004. A recent analysis byDeaton A and J Dreze (2009) 'Food and Nutrition in India: Facts and Interpretations', EPW, Vol XLIV, No. 7) shows that the decline in total calories' intake is more or less the same for the rich and poor. But cereal calories decline is much faster among the rich. In fact, per capita calorie intake has fallen at all levels of per capita household expenditure. Why people at higher expenditure levels have reduced their consumption of calories over time is perhaps not so hard to understand but why those at the lower end of the expenditure have done so is intriguing.

Thursday was a big day in Mariner land. It was announced that the Mariners signed King Felix to a long-term deal, and then officially signed Kelly Shoppach. To make room they designated Shawn Kelly for assignment, and just for good measure signed Joe Saunders.
King Felix becomes the highest paid pitcher in baseball. These large deals are getting harder to evaluate thanks to increasingly large television deals and the increase of large extensions for superstar players. Keith Law once told me that he doesn't write about extensions because there isn't enough to evaluate. The more I thought about this extension in particular, I realized that this could be approached from several different ways and be talked about in several different very wordy posts. Felix is 26 and the deal ends when he is 33, so we are talking about getting all of Felix's prime years, and not having to pay for years way after his prime.
Felix will be making a 1/4th of the Mariners payroll. As good as Felix is, he isn't great enough to take a team to the playoffs by being 25 % of the team's production. Even if one is extremely optimistic and projects Felix to be a 5 win (above replacement) pitcher in each of the 7 years, that is still just 20 wins above replacement, or about 72 wins (according to .320 winning percentage as replacement level). The Mariners will have to increase payroll or be extremely efficient with the rest of their money. The Mariners TV deal is reportedly set to change in 2015, and even though they haven't been very good, it is generally assumed that the Mariners will get a large increase in money. Of course, there haven't been many concise projections, and even less projections of what a future payroll would look like. Of course, it should go up, and I am sure they have their internal projections, but we, or at least I, have no idea at all of what it will look like.
With all reservations aside, Mariner fans realize that the King Felix means more than just his production on the field. If ownership did not give Felix what he wanted, and he left, whether via trade or free agency after the 2014 season, not only would the Mariners lose an elite pitcher, they would lose the fans if they still weren't a good team. The Mariners being bad now has seriously hurt attendance, but on the days that Felix pitches, at least the 3rd base side of the stadium was full of yellow shirts.
Now, I don't care if the owners make money. This is a sports site, not a business site. I write about the Mariners, not economics. With that said, the owners do care about making money. I care about evaluating baseball players, but they care about making money. Now usually, success equals money, so building a good team will lead to good attendance in most cases (the main exception is the Tampa Bay Rays). There are hypothetical situations where one could see the Mariners being better eventually without Felix (the most obvious example being a trade for a bunch of players, and using the money saved to spend on free agents that make the team and depth better). However, this would, in the short term, cripple attendance. If Mariner fans are already cynical, imagine a Felixless 90 loss Mariner team. The front office may have been a little burned anyway. The Mariners traded another elite pitcher, Cliff Lee, to the rival Texas Rangers and the most they got from it was one year of John Jaso (thanks to the Josh Lueke/Rays deal), and they valued him so little that he rode the bench for the majority of the first half of the year, and then was traded to a division rival.
The "trading an elite pitcher for prospects" doesn't have a good recent track record, as shown by the Johan Santana trade, and even the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, as the prospects the Rockies received in the deal, even though Ubaldo turned out to be broken, have not panned out so far. So while I have advocated trading Felix in the past, that is not a risk the Mariners are willing to take. Amazingly, signing Felix to a long-term deal, and making him the highest paid pitcher in baseball, is the safe choice. If the Mariners did trade Felix, and the deal ultimately failed, obviously that is the end of Jack Z's tenure (even if they made a good deal, there is a good chance that Z would be gone before the prospects developed anyway), and the Mariners roster would most likely lie in shambles (or at least wouldn't have had enough to be competitive despite Zunino and the big 3).
With a top 10 farm system, there is hope that the Mariners, even assuming that they don't have money to sign free agents (which they may with a new TV deal), the Mariners could put a competitive team around Felix (or, at the very least, wouldn't be able to blame failed prospects on fence distances). Even if the deal fails, say Felix keeps losing velocity, or gets hurt, or just regresses, the Mariners would be understood by fans. Attendance would still fall, but it fans would most likely be more understanding if the Mariners commit to Felix and it backfires. It wouldn't make the future losses any better, and there would be the regret that the Mariners didn't take advantage of the value they had in Felix.
Of course, this doesn't even factor in the contract and commitment from Felix' perspective. Considering the quality of teams the Mariners have put around Felix, one would certainly understand if he gave the middle finger to the front office during negotiations or demanded a trade. Of course, 175 million dollars of guaranteed money, including doubling the salaries of his next two seasons, will cause a person to forgive a multitude of sins.
The Mariners also re-signed Felix' brother Moises to another minor league deal. As talked about before, Moises is about as much of a non prospect as possible, and obviously this move wasn't for baseball reasons.
I wrote about Shoppach and how he fits on the team here.
It is widely thought that the Mariners are planning on trading Kelley, as it was surprising that he was designated for assignment. I ranked Kelley as the 27th best player on the 40 man roster in the most recent ranking. I literally went back to the official 40 man roster on the Mariners website to make sure that Carlos Peguero was still on the roster. I have no idea why he still is. I have repeated this argument and bewilderment multiple times, so I won't do it again. The point is that Peguero is not a big league player, and Kelly has shown that he is. In fact, my first thought was that Kelly was one of the best players that have been DFA'd recently. So I looked at the MLB Depth Charts DFA Tracker and looked at all the players DFA'd since October. Here is a complete list of players DFA'd since then with a higher Baseball Reference WAR in 2012 than Kelley:
Jim Miller
Mickey Storey
Chris Seddon
Chris Dickerson
George Kottaras
So it was a couple more than I thought there would be. These are somewhat useful players that are not full-time players or have a flaw. However, the point still stands, as I think Kelley is a useful player that would help even the deep Mariners bullpen in 2013. Peguero is not the kind of player that will help them. The Mariners already signed Kelley to a 935,000 dollar deal a couple of weeks ago. If he clears waivers and is released, he will be given $155,833 of that money. If he is claimed, the new team will owe all the entirety of the money. I believe that Kelley is worth that, and even if the Mariners have to pay him the 155,833 dollars, it won't hurt them as much, in my opinion, as losing Kelley. I think Shoppach is more valuable than Kelley, and he isn't getting paid much more, so at least the Mariners are improving, but they could have cut someone that was less valuable and not helpful for the 2013 or future Mariner teams. It was thought that the Mariners just sent down Kelley to AAA in 2012 for a period of time because they could, not because they thought he didn't belong on the MLB team. Evidently that wasn't true, it seems that he they didn't believe that he had much future value.
Of course, signing Saunders means that the Mariners will have to remove someone else off the 40 man roster, but they won't have to until the deal is official, which as we have seen this off-season, can take weeks, or in extreme cases, months. I am going to turn my evaluation of Saunders into a separate article.

just keen to know, thanks

My fave products are the bars - but TBH they're almost too nice. I find myself really tempted to eat them earlier than I should (the S and S people say we should have 3 - 4 hours between packs to avoid carb overload). I also like the caramel & cookies & cream milkshakes. The food packs & soups are my least favourite but I've got a really sweet tooth so that's only to be expected. What do you like?
well today I tried the vanilla shake (which I couldnt get the lumps out of with the shaker, so left most of it) the lemon bar - which was rich but filling and thinking of a meal pack later. I am on my first week pack and need to order another just thinking...what do I order?
I like the shakes - cookies & cream, hazelnut, caramel, vanilla best.
I dont do soup at all, never have done, never liked soup!!
Like the banoffee porridge, the spaghetti, and cheesey pasta.
Must be the only person who does not like the bars..... lol
The vars are...ok. But I feel sick afterwards. They dont cure my sweet fix. If its not got caramel running through it I dont wanna know!
My favourite bar is Dark Truffa which is divine. I like the others but that's my fave. Food-wise, I like the chilli & spicy spaghetti. I love the banoffee porridge but I know some people hate it - its that really sweet fake banana flavour but I'm a fan of anything sweet. I also like mushroom soup. Of the shakes, my favourites are caramel, cookies and cream and lemon yoghurt.
I don't like the chocolate, mint choc, orange & mango, strawberry, or toffee shakes. I don't hate them but I just don't order them because they aren't in the same league as the others.
So far I am loving the chocolate shake which I add ice too which makes it super delicious and the choc bars are heavenly <3 but only have one every other day as they are so yummy, and so far I have had the spag bol which was really really nice and the chilli which I also enjoyed
The banoffe porridge is nice but this time of year I don't like porridge in the morning but as for the scrambled egg... Yuk! I have had it twice nice and I force myself to eat it!
I have yet to try the hazelnut shake and mint choc and a couple other meals I think next order will have no porridge or scrambled egg!
Just had mild curry... Like that one too
Just got my new order after not doing this properly for 2 years.
i used to like the crispy choc shake but somewhere along the way they discontinued it
never mind have just tried a teaspoon of both the orange one and the cherry choc and they were both passable. The orange one reminds me of a milky refresher. I also tried a couple of crisps from my snack box. Not keen on the cheese and onion, but the salt and vinegar taste good. I've got a pasta carbonara set out for later, not tried that before. From when I did S&S in 2012 I like the maple and the choc truffa bar, like the pasta and the cottage pie mix. Not keen on the curry.
love the chilli. Also I have splashed out on zero noodles to bulk it out. Get far too grumpy if hungry
I have to admit that i do not have food i do not like;-))) Hahaha)) this is my biggest problem - I love all kinds of food and products;-(((
My Favourites
Rhubarb and custard shake
Mushroom pasta
Chicken curry noodle soup
Chocolate covered muesli bar
Vanilla shake
Hi all started this today as moving to thus from cambridge diet. So far I have had the chocolate truffa bar anf four cheese pasta anf loved them both!! So much tastier than cambridge so far!!!!
total loss = 39 lbs
Love original oatmeal and choc coconut bars nom nom
Love, Dark Chocolate Truffa, not usually a fan of Dark Chocolate but the consistency is gorgeous and it's really filling. Hated honey and Nougat. Love Spicy Spaghetti and Cottage pie, hate hate hate Pasta Cabonara, probably the most foul thing ive ever tasted.
The Banana shakes were vile, reminded me of antibiotics when I was a kid. Gross! Everything else i've had i've really enjoyed. My faves are oatmeal (lovely and filling), spicy spaghetti with red and green chillis, vanilla and forest fruit shakes with plenty of ice. Wasn't keen on the four cheese pasta, but is nice when poured over cauliflower and broccoli florets. Day five for me, and really impressed with this diet so far x

Chester County has a Salvation Army unit, the thrift store, which is open to the public and sells used clothing, furniture, toys, and some decor items. When you think of the Salvation Army, the organization's famous red kettle and its Christmas-time bell-ringers may first come to mind, however this organization carries on important programs for the community. For example, one program provides monetary assistance to people who need help in paying their rent, food expense, or with their heating, electric or water bills. Fire victims are often assisted with clothing and household items. At Thanksgiving, the organization provides meals for senior citizens. At Christmas, the organization collects gifts for the elderly and needy children through the Angel's Fund project. It's the largest collection drive for the needy conducted by an organization in Chester County at Christmas. To succeed in its service mission, the Salvation Army needs year-round support from the community. Both volunteer workers to help run the thrift store and monetary contributions are needed. Monetary donations may be sent to P.O. Box 995, Chester, SC 29706. Clothing, furniture, toys and even food items may be dropped off at the store. To volunteer assistance or for information on Salvation Army programs, call the thrift store.

Definition of Nicol prism in English:
Nicol prism
A device for producing plane-polarized light, consisting of two pieces of optically clear calcite or Iceland spar cemented together with Canada balsam in the shape of a prism.
Example sentences
- The Nicol prism, which is made entirely of calcite, a doubly refracting mineral, isolates one beam cleanly.
- The two beams, with two different planes of polarization, are then analyzed by another Nicol prism.
- The aluminum handle used to rotate the Nicol prism assembly is clearly not original.
Mid 19th century: named after William Nicol (died 1851), the Scottish physicist who invented it.
For editors and proofreaders

"I have been a huge devotee of NB 336 size 7D for years. They were stable and lasted well. When they went out of production, I bought ten pair and put them away so I would have them. Alas and alack, I went through all of them, and had to call the New Balance Customer Service Center for a replacement recommendation. And they recommended 624. I had injured my hip, and with the 336 shoes, I could get around, but was always slightly uncomfortable, taking nine ibuprofen per day. Since I have donned the 624's, the ibuprofen is down to two per day, AND I am back to doing step aerobics. At 55, I thought my step was put away for good. I am LOVING these shoes. Stable, cushioning, impact absorption. Thank you New Balance for taking some of the pain out of my day!"

"I have purchased the same New Balance shoes (620 and then, the 623) for over 10 years. However, they discontinued them so I had to purchase the 624. I purchased it in the same size and wide width. I played one tennis match and it caused blisters on both the inside and outside area near my toes due to being too narrow. If you have wide feet, do not buy this product or buy it in a size bigger."

They seem to be very durable, which makes me very happy as I walk many miles per week. Will surely buy them again and again !"

Now, that's more like it.
I'll get to the details in a moment. But first, a few big-picture comments on the 35-28 loss in Ohio Stadium.
1) Cal's performance against Ohio State was the antithesis of its showing in the Southern Utah game -- a well-played, close loss on the road to a good team, as opposed to a poorly-played, lopsided home win against a bad team.
A wrenching but encouraging defeat vs. an empty, discouraging victory.
2) In a general sense, that's how I expected the game to unfold ... back in August.
The Bears seemingly had the speed and playmakers to give a less-than-elite Ohio State team trouble. Then Cal showed poorly against Nevada and SUU and you wondered if it had the mettle to handle adversity in Columbus ... or whether Cal would crumble early and return home with its season in chaos.
3) If coach Jeff Tedford's job is in jeopardy come early December -- and it's way too early to predict -- it's unlikely anyone in the Cal administration will say, "Let's give him another year because they came so darn close at Ohio State."
But the fact that the Bears played like that -- that they are capable of playing like that -- would seem to indicate they're capable of winning enough games the rest of the way to make Tedford's future a nonissue.
He recognized the moment and rose to the occasion with what was arguably the best game of his Cal career: 26 of 37 for 280 yards, all while dealing with low snaps from center.
Maynard kept his poise and didn't force passes despite constant pressure from Ohio State.
His lone interception, on the desperate final drive, was a poor pass. But it hardly overshadowed what he did the previous 59 minutes.
The offensive play-calling was sound, as well, especially in providing Maynard with options for getting rid of the ball quickly (before the pass rush arrived).
I'd have gone for the first down -- bold decisions win games like that, and Maynard's mobility allows for a run/pass option outside the pocket -- but I'd stop short of calling it an egregious decision.
In the larger sense, though, I wonder if the season, and perhaps Tedford's future, depend on D'Amato's leg. Another loss or two because of missed field goals (or PATs) could be the difference between a bowl berth and a postseason shutout.
Bigelow's 81-yard run, in which he somehow managed to keep his balance while zooming around left end, was one of two sensational plays: Braxton Miller's 55-yard scamper was pretty good, too.
On the other hand, the offensive line allowed six sacks and is Cal's weakest link at this point.
Given the absence of two projected starters (Dominic Galas, who was hurt over the summer, and Matt Summers-Gavin), the breakdowns aren't a huge surprise.
But Cal's upside is limited unless it gets the problems corrected. Summers-Gavin's return from a knee injury -- he's listed as week-to-week -- will help, but it won't solve all the problems.
Opposing defenses will no doubt watch the Ohio State film and view left tackle (Tyler Rigsbee) as a place they can attack the Bears.
USC's weaknesses -- in particular, the lack of experience and depth on the defensive line -- were exposed by Stanford. But I'm not sure Cal has the personnel up front to take full advantage.
Certainly, Cal's prospects are a tad brighter if the Trojans are again without center Khaled Holmes and kicker Andre Heidari.
But if the past few years have taught us anything, it's that Stanford's style of play poses problems for the Trojans and USC's style of play poses problems for the Bears.
(I'd also argue that Stanford's in USC's head the same way USC's in Cal's head.)
Add the long trip to/from Columbus ... and another week on the road ... and USC's post-Stanford urgency ... and USC's array of playmakers ... and the Bears face a far more difficult task this week.

In the year since the Tour of California last wound through our pretty landscape - generating throngs of appreciative fans and stimulating endless talk of doping and cheaters - the sport has become even more sullied. More sordid. More threatened.
But one cycling legend thinks that's a good thing.
"I'm very excited about this year's drug scandals," Greg LeMond said this week by phone from his home in Minnesota. "It's what was needed to happen to bring the sport to its knees."
Cycling is on its knees, begging for credibility, because of an unending stream of doping scandals. LeMond, the original American champion, has become a voice for honesty in his beloved sport. LeMond, the first American to win the Tour de France - he won three times - is scheduled to speak Sunday night at Santa Clara University on ethics in cycling. The event is unrelated to the Tour of California, which begins at 1 p.m. Sunday with a prologue in Palo Alto.
"Cycling is falling apart at the seams," LeMond said. "It could take years to revive. I think it can, but only through drastic changes."
The past year in a nutshell:
• Tour de France champion Floyd Landis was stripped of his 2006 title.
• Two mainstay cycling sponsors - Discovery Channel and T-Mobile - withdrew support of their teams.
• The 2007 Tour de France was a three-week farce as favorite after favorite was banned or sent home in disgrace.
Just this week, the Tour de France announced it was banning Astana - the new team of last year's winner Alberto Contador and reigning Tour de California champion Levi Leipheimmer - from the 2008 race because of past doping involvement.
"I'm optimistic and surprised," LeMond said. "The line is being drawn. People who aren't for change aren't welcome in the sport."
The most shameful moment of the past year came during Landis' U.S. Anti-Doping Agency arbitration hearing in May. LeMond was called to testify against Landis and while on the stand, he revealed he had been the victim of a blackmail attempt by Landis' lawyer, Will Geoghegan. Geoghegan had threatened to expose LeMond's history as a victim of sexual abuse, something LeMond had confided to Landis while urging him to come clean.
"It was the meanest, cruelest thing that's ever happened to me in my life," said LeMond, 46.
The incident revealed to the world the unethical underbelly of the sport and the sad tactics some will use against the truth. LeMond calls those attacks "Mafia-like." He has suffered them for years, mostly from American icon Lance Armstrong.
"What's happened to the sport has not only broken my heart, but I have been discredited by another American," he said. "I've been branded as a whiner and a sore loser. He has robbed me of my part in cycling."
Armstrong and LeMond have been feuding since 2001, when LeMond publicly questioned Armstrong's alliance with known doping doctor Michele Ferrari.
LeMond has testified that Armstrong threatened him and tried to destroy his livelihood, through his powerful influence within the cycling world. LeMond said he currently "has some legal issues" with Armstrong and is careful what he says about the seven-time Tour de France winner.
Armstrong's defenders will say that he never failed a drug test. And it's true that Armstrong made a clean getaway from the sport, despite the endless allegations against him.
But it is also true that the sport was rife with performance-enhancing drugs during Armstrong's era. The three Tour champions who preceded Armstrong, and the one who followed, were all found to be dopers. Moreover, in Armstrong's seven Tour victories, the men who shared the podium with him - with few exceptions - either confessed to doping or have been implicated in drug scandals.
LeMond knows firsthand how cheaters tip the scales in a race. The end of LeMond's career coincided with the proliferation of the blood-boosting drug EPO among cyclists. After winning the Tour in 1986, and again in 1989 and 1990 - after a remarkable recovery from gunshot wounds in a hunting accident - LeMond found himself left behind. In LeMond's era drug testing was so new if cyclists wanted to cheat they probably could get away with it.
According to LeMond, the use of EPO exploded in 1991 and he could never keep up with the peloton, ultimately causing himself permanent damage by overtraining.
By casting doubt on Armstrong, LeMond has been flattened by the speeding peloton of dopers. He found himself vilified, not only by Armstrong and his legion of supporters - fans approached me atop Alpe d'Huez during the 2004 Tour to express their hatred for the first American cycling legend - but also by the corporate structure that was cashing in on Armstrong-mania.
"Since my first encounter with Lance Armstrong, I've come to realize just how corrupt the sport is," LeMond said. "It is the athletes, the corporations and the journalists who turn a blind eye. There's an erosion of ethics across the board."
The recent flood of doping revelations has provided a measure of vindication for skeptics such as LeMond. But it also has damaged the sport, perhaps beyond repair.
"It's costing cycling hundreds of millions of dollars," LeMond said. "Before, the economic benefit was so great to cheat that everyone wanted to do it."
Next week, Californians can witness the beauty of cycling. As the colorful peloton zips through the green California hills and next to the blue Pacific Ocean it will paint a vibrant image. But don't be fooled. The sport is very, very sick.

Hit ratio is currently the most common metric for measuring the accuracy of classifiers. However, it doesn't compensate for classifications that might have been due to chance. The problem's magnitude is studied here through an empirical experiment on three multivalued UCI (University of California, Irvine) classification data sets, using two well-known machine learning models: C4.5 and naive Bayes. The author shows that using hit ratio can lead to erroneous conclusions. He proposes using Cohen's kappa, as a statistically robust alternative that takes random hits into account. Like any other metric, Cohen's kappa has its own shortcomings, but the author proposes that unless a better simple alternative is found, it should be mandatory in any scientific report about classifier accuracy.
Cohen's kappa, hit ratio, classification accuracy.
