Pornstar Platinum is the amalgamation of over 20 different single-model sites, but what separates it from many other networks of this ilk is that it focuses exclusively on "the world's top porn stars" babes like Ava Devine and Angelina Valentine. It also promises its members daily updates, HD quality video, and, perhaps most impressive of all, that it will be adding "new sites all the time!"

Once inside the members' area of Pornstar Platinum I found myself staring at a well put together and, I must say, rather modest layout. I have to admit this was a pleasant surprise as it seems most networks feel the need to fill the page with all manner of eye candy, "new and improved" features, and other gizmos that, in my opinion, often burden the user more than help them. That's not to say, however, that the site doesn't have useful navigational tools. They just aren't all shoved in your face at once.
The other thing that immediately struck me about the main page was that the date stamps indicate a steady flow of daily updates dating all the way back to late 2009. Which means this site has a sizeable archive indeed. In fact, as I write this there are 1863 scenes and 2622 sets. Another impressive figure is the 28 sites on the network, and that they all feature content that center around high caliber porn stars.
Another major plus is that many of these sites offer interaction with the stars. The majority of these gals grant their members access to regularly occurring webcam shows, as well as links to their Twitter and other social media pages. Hell, a few of them even have an e-mail link. So, if you're looking to converse with some big name porno stars, you won't be disappointed.
Since this site is centered around female porn stars, you can expect solo masturbation and lesbian action to dominate the landscape. Depending on your own preferences this may be a good or bad thing. But those of you who are into hardcore, mixed sex action need to run away, as I ran into quite a bit of that, too. In any event, no matter what your particular poison is, if the site has covered it you can rest assured they did so with all the attention to detail and quality production values you'd expect from professionals.
I'm happy to report that most of these sites feature HD video in multiple formats. As of late the norm seems to be 1080p HD. That's not to say that they don't cater to those with slower connections, though. As a matter of fact, many of them do, offering scenes broken down into a series of shorter clips. My heart goes out to all those GILF lovers who were misled. Another issue with the search function is that they don't allow you to simply browse by niche. If
On the other side of the coin, I was disappointed to find that, while these sites share near identical layouts, their video quality and format options are not consistent at all. While some offer crystal clear, cinema grade 1080p HD, others give you scenes that, while they do sport a massive resolution, they're so grainy they're practically unwatchable. I was also quite disappointed with downloads which, more often than not, weren't even clocking in at a meg-per-second.
The photo galleries were a bit of a mixed bag themselves, offering a wide range of resolutions and overall image quality. Also, some seemed to be run of the mill screen caps while others were legitimate often behind-the-scenes photographs. Unfortunately, one thing they all had in common was a lack of options. You're stuck with one resolution, and it's usually not that impressive, either(lately the biggest has been 1,600 × 1,000). What a shame.
Also, as nice as it was to find the main page uncluttered and sporting a more simplistic design, I couldn't help but feel that, for a network this size, it was lacking when it came to more advanced navigational tools. Worse yet, the ones they do offer just don't work all that well. The search engine, for example, lists over 140 niches. Sounds great, right? Well, it would be if it weren't for the fact that a great many of them bear no relation to the content found on any of these sites. My heart goes out to all those poor G.I.L.F. enthusiasts who were so cold heartedly misled. Worst of all, though, is the fact that they charge extra for access to the mobile area.
One of the network's more shocking oversights was its lack of a model index of any kind. I mean, you'd think a site that focuses on porn stars would at least provide bios for them, right? Apparently not.
But if this network has an Achilles' heel, it is, without a doubt, the fact that many of its sites just aren't updating anymore. In fact, 8 of them haven't updated in the past 6 months, and four haven't updated in well over a year. If you're joining up for new content from Katie Summers, Gigi Rivera, Heather Starlet, Nicki Blue, or Kendra Lust, you will be very disappointed. On the bright side, many of the sites are updating, and the network as a whole has done a fine job of sticking to its daily update schedule. Still, though, it is a shame that so many sites seem to have fallen by the wayside. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that many of them are just in an extended hibernation period. Hey, a fella can dream, can't he?
This site does a fine job of living up to its name by supplying members with an impressive collection of websites dedicated to top-tier porn stars. A good portion of the content can be streamed and downloaded in HD quality, and I was surprised at the number of sites that offered legitimate interaction with their stars. Unfortunately, I was also surprised to find that a number of them seem to have given up on updating altogether. All in all, though, I think the good far outweighs the bad here, so if you're into porn stars and looking for a new site, I'd strongly advise you to move Pornstar Platinum up to the top of your list.

When a child has a dream – to be an actor, or a singer, or a basketball star – there is one couple in Upper Makefield, Pa., doing all they can to make it a reality.
While running a basketball camp for kids, Gene and Michele Rice were shocked when a boy participating explained he'd had to take a 10-mile bus ride from his trailer home, had gotten off on the wrong stop and had to walk the remaining half mile. Despite the difficulty he'd had getting to camp, he was still excited to be there.
Thinking of their own kids' acting classes and sports camps, "we realized we took for granted they could do these things," says Gene, 56, a recruiting executive. "Other parents love their kids, but the resources aren't there."
Out of that moment grew the Plant a Seed Inspire a Dream Foundation plantaseedfoundation.org, a nonprofit that gives low-income kids ages 8 to 21 the kinds of camps and lessons other children enjoy.
Starting with $10,000 of their own money and through fund-raising, the Rices have awarded $200,000 in grants and services to 254 kids in the Northeast. Interviewing children and screening mentors, they've helped kids stretch their talents.
"We have kids in karate, dance, gymnastics, sports, art, music and horseback riding," says Michele, 56, a former speech pathologist. "Helping these kids to explore their passions has been life changing – creating relationships with adult mentors and other children who share their interests."
Shanaya Chavis, 20, knows all about that. Not sure if she'd attend college, Shanaya wanted to sing, yet her mother, a retired nurse's aide, couldn't afford lessons. Now, two years after training at a private studio, she's hoping "to make it big" and is working with a producer on an album while she takes classes at a community college.
"I have more confidence; I want my degree," she says. "The Rices have helped me so much."
Since the Rices' four children – Shannon, 27, Mackenzie, 25, Courtney, 22, and Owen, 18 – are grown, the couple continues to expand their organization's efforts, helping children to pursue their passions for multiple years and recruiting volunteers to drive kids to their activities.
"We don't expect them to be stars," says Michele. "We want them to have something to reach for."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Garni Feldblick Trebur
The Grand
I've been to the Grand several times. It's a great hotel. The casino is also great. I've won three jackpots here. That's not to say that other hotels are bad, nor are their casinos. I've just been luckier at the Grand. (I also hit at Harrah's). The best part was that I was part of a junket. What a cost saver!My site is dedicated to junkets! Email me with more junket agents!...
A Great Trip
My husband and I frequent the casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas and decided to check out Tunica last July. We made reservations at The Grand because of the size of their poker room. As first time visitors, there was a little adjustment required. But we had been forewarned about the distance between the casinos. But really, it was not much difference between there and our area in VA: flat low land, fields of cotton, those pesky insects! All that said, we had a great time. Loved the friendliness of the dealers and the perks in the poker room. We have never run across more personable blackjack dealers either. Atlantic City knows nothing about southern hospitality! We will head south again.
Grand Casino Great-Food terrible
This was my first time to Tunica. Stayed at the Verranda, very nice rooms and loved their security on getting on the floors. The casino and their workers were excellent, when I would on the slots, they tooked their time and explained about MS taxes on it. The only bad thing about the trip was the Grand Buffet, it was overpriced, their help or lack of help was terrible. You had to flag down someone to get an extra glass of tea. The selection wasn't that great. All of the other eating places, had to have a reservation or the wait was 2 hours or more. Will probably go back but will stay at another hotel.
Avoid the Grand
I was very glad when I read the other negative reviews here as it has just cemented my opinion that the Grand would have to be one of the worst hotels in Tunica. I recently went there for my husband's 30th birthday for the weekend (I didn't want to stay there but cause it was Elvis week it was all that was available). I won't tell you all the instances where the staff were rude cause I would be typing all day but every staff member I encountered was rude and had a no care attitude. I booked their 'romance package' which was $157 for a room, $40 in food vouchers and a bottle of champage and a cheese tray to be delivered to the room. When I checked in I was told to ring room service and the champagne and cheese tray would be brought to my room. When I inquired why I had to make the phone call and not the front desk I was told 'cause we don't do that'. I called the ext for room service and was told to leave a message which I did asking them to bring up the champagne etc. That was at 5pm. At 10pm I returned to my room and surprise, surprise no champagne or cheese tray. When I called room service to inquire why I was told that 'I was calling the wrong place, they couldn't help me and they didn't know anything it' I hung up in digust and went down to the front desk to try and get the issue resolved. To cut a very long story short it took my husband and I an hour and half to get the champagne and cheese plate delivered to our room after going through 3 managers and then when it did turn up it turned up it in a cardboard box! At that stage I didn't care about the champagne or cheese it was the principal of the matter. I was very embrassed about the situation cause it was meant to be a nice weekend for my husband and was just a stress all around. I will write to the Grand to voice my digust and disapointment at the situation but doubt I will receive a response cause I am sure they do not care as they don't about anything else that goes on there! With the choice of hotels/casinos available at Tunica you be much better off going to one of the others. They may not be as large as the Grand but I would rather have a polite staff member over an extra 200 poker machines any day!!
Poor customer service over the phone
I had heard that the staff at the Veranda were rude. I haven't stayed yet and just called to get directions from Memphis and the woman I spoke with was sarcastic and not friendly at all. She answered my questions with one word responses. Maybe the employees are uneducated or unmotivated. What ever happened to quaility customer service.
this place is very impressive until you meet the staff, they are rude to the point of being abusive. I'll never stay there again and I will tell all the people I know to do the same.
The Veranda Hotel - Grand Casino
We went to Tunica partly as an inexpensive alternative to Memphis hotels and partly to visit the casino. The Positives: Our room at the Veranda was largeish, and clean, and did not smell like smoke or mildew (which I've found that most hotels do). The staff was pleasant enough (I'd heard that others found them rude, we did not). The Shuttle is extremely convenient, runs regularly and takes under 2 minutes to get you from your hotel to the casino. The price was astounding. Our first night (a saturday) was 89 dollars, and our second two nights (sunday/monday) were 29 dollars a night!The Negatives: The food at the casino is spectacularly medicore. There was no internet access (as was advertised on the website), you could use dial-up but were surchaged for long distance calls, even if you called your isp's 800 number. The shower water had a weird odor.I'd rate my experienced as mostly positive but mixed.
Great place to eat and gamble
The Grand is by far the best Casino/Hotel in Tunica. They are very liberal with the comps. Have stayed at the Grand and the Veranda in a suite. The bathrooms are Very large and are all marble. The views are nice over looking the golf course. World-class restaurants. LBs has great Surf and Turf and the Appetizers are great (try the Tenderloin en crute). The buffet is one of the best that I have had; (I am not a buffet fan) it is better than most in Las Vegas and AC only the Bellagio is better. You have to take a shuttle to the casinos if you stay in the Veranda or the Terrace. The shuttle is nice to take in the winter so you so not have to walk in the cold. The Grand is close to the casino but you have to walk out doors. The dealers are some of the nicest and friendliest I have ever been around. We only go to Tunica 4-6 times a year but the dealers always remember you.
Business owner / Educator
Clean,quiet,nice weekend getaway.
Rooms at the Grand Casino
I stayed at the Terrace hotel in the middle of January 2002. The rooms are great. Large, very clean and comfortable. As nice as the MGM in Las Vegas. The only reason I would not stay again, is because of the casino access. The hotel is at least 1/4 mile away, but they do provide a free shuttle service. I like to be closer to my room. Still the Grand is very nice.

Crackdown 2
In designing a sequel to a cult classic, a developer has to walk a fine tightrope between innovation and familiarity. Turning a twee, colourful-linens franchise into a bevy of blades and metal will probably upset some of the fans, for instance. Coincidentally, my role in sequel development is sitting on my bum and making snide remarks whenever the process goes wrong. I am an integral cog.
Still, I have learnt a thing or two in my time. Such as this nugget: staying contemporary helps, but sometimes bucking a popular trend doesn't pay off - just imagine if Master Chief popped up as an all-singing, all-dancing member of the USMC Glee club in Halo: Reach.
Ruffian Games will understand what this better than most, having chewed their fair share of pen nibs thinking about designing Crackdown 2. Thankfully, they came to the right decision: Crackdown's announcer is back. And he's still happy to put a squad of agency peacekeepers - "this is going to hurt them a lot more than it's going to hurt you" - on your tail as punishment for nonchalantly ploughing through a pack of civilians while trying to make your car do some totally sweet flips.
It's still Crackdown, and this is a good thing. The modus operandi is exactly the same, with you jumping from tower to tower, blowing up cars with a single shot to the fuel tank and almost inevitably causing some collateral damage as you stomp over your frail enemies. If Red Dead Redemption polishes the narrative-driven, atmospheric open world game then Crackdown 2 shows the strengths in the diametric opposite, wafting only the thinnest of plots in your direction and then throwing you loads of shiny toys to play with.
There are a few new things added to the mix, like gnarly mutants. Why? Because you accidentally let some of the Shai Gen crime syndicate's genetic monstrosities leak into the sewers near the end of the first game? Well, sure, but mostly because Ruffian figured running over big, dense packs of green-blooded mutant freaks would be buckets of squelchy fun, and great XP to boot.
Whilst we're talking about cars, do you remember how you'd spawn with an Agency supercar at the HQ and drive it down that big long tunnel before hitting the ramp, narrowly missing the stunt marker every single time, then crash long before you ever reached your destination? Now a helicopter just delivers you a car every time you spawn, regardless of where you are. Easy.
You'll actually need to make use of your wheels if you're going to make it through the night. When the sun goes down the freaks come out, and while Ruffian couldn't admit if they based this particular feature on the streets of Blackpool they certainly wouldn't deny it, either. Mutants spawn in their hundreds and the bigger, badder and more badass ones are more than happy to chase you to the rooftops in an effort to hasten your next respawn, meaning the best defence is retreating to a bloody massive Agency supercar prepared to get its bumper messy.
The freaks are clearly a bit of a problem, and their presence has had a negative effect on the value of real estate in Pacific City. They've also made late night raids on the supermarket for munchies impossible. The citizens are upset, understandably, and a fair good few of them are incensed enough to form a terrorist group called The Cell, who hate the Agency and like to dress in dapper goggles and also the chunky knits that were so fashionable last winter.
Your mission, then, which you were genetically grown in a tube to accept, is to give the dissenting naysayers of The Cell a jolly good kicking as well as eliminating the freaks by exploding bombs in the city's sewers and tunnels.
How you do that is up to you - I like to bomb around like a bull in a china shop, picking up any agility orbs I come across, and eventually cause enough destruction I accidentally blow up the right target. You might like to play it mission by mission, zipping straight to the objectives whenever they pop up on your screen, although if you play it like this you're a) really boring and b) probably not going to have much fun.
Pacific City was built to be a playground, and to get the most fun of Crackdown 2 you have to treat it like one. New additions that bring out the inner child include Renegade Orbs, which roam around the city of their own accord and run away from you as you try to collect them. Regardless of your objectives, the immediate desire when seeing one of these things pottering about is to drop everything and give chase, even if it means accidentally mowing down a pack of Peacekeepers as you perform an impromptu U-turn.
Another new orb can only be collected in co-op, which now supports up to 4 players, and should provide a good incentive for players to stop trying to blast each other off rooftops with rocket launchers for a few seconds and work together.
It really does all sound very much like Crackdown, doesn't it? One of the more remarkable balancing acts is how Ruffian have kept Pacific City in roughly the same shape and size as the original - there's still the three recognisable districts, with the Agency Tower sitting pretty in the middle of the city, tall enough to pierce the clouds. At the same time they've reworked and rejigged many of the areas, making certain bits taller, more detailed and sufficiently new enough to make you want to explore everything all over again.
Playing it feels like sliding your feet into a comfortable pair of slippers you forgot about. You pick your thin, svelte and defenceless agent and let him loose in the city, where he quickly accumulates experience and skills (skills for kills, Agent!) alongside thick, impenetrable layers of hulking armour and a swanky helmet. Okay, the helmet comes about fifteen minutes in - but it's still technically an unlockable.
The same visual feedback is still present in levelling up, but upgrading your skills now unlocks new abilities over time. Chief amongst these is the Wing Suit, awarded for maxing out your agility and giving you the option to glide around like a flying squirrel. Not a very imposing mental image, I'll admit, but if you fire off a few rockets you'll probably silence any members of The Cell who dare to giggle at you.
It's that kind of little touch which shows how Ruffian is trying to complement the original's strengths whilst also trying to overcome some of its weaknesses. One major flaw already fixed: they're keeping city saves and Agent saves separate, meaning you can have two (or three - I'm sure they won't mind) characters existing at once.
It all combines to show Ruffian's approach to sequel development - create more, create better. Crackdown 2's debt to the original is always evident, but it looks like there will be plenty of additional features to get your teeth stuck into come its release in July. Ruffian Games clearly understand the spirit behind Crackdown: ridiculous stunts, overblown explosions and super powers.
Crackdown 2 is released for 360 on July 9.

Then the San Jose Sharks kicked their ass. The Sharks played a violent game and erased 2-0 and 3-2 leads by the Penguins.
As promising as the start was, the ending was a cause for major concern. From the second period on, the Penguins were pushed around, outshot 34-12. Jeff Zatkoff went from looking in control to giving up a terrible game-winning goal. Sidney Crosby was a minus-5. Yikes.
And it doesn't get any easier. Ducks, Friday night at 10:00.
Three Stars
3. Olli Maatta
Maatta had two goals. He wasn't great in his own zone, but not a lot of Penguins were.
2. Joe Thornton
There was a point in this game where Joe Thornton was invisible. Then he took over.
1. Brent Burns
Burns played the entire game like he was the Ultimate Warrior. No other way to describe it. You think power forward in the NHL right now, you think Brent Burns. Hope James Neal took some notes.

Moving slowly and with senior members, the Surayud government earned the tag "Old Ginger". Going by its nickname, many were convinced that it would be toothless. But four months have passed and now it is showing that ginger, regardless of age, can be spicy hot, particularly when the issue involves Don Muang and Suvarnabhumi airports.
The Cabinet's resolution on February 6 to reopen Don Muang amazed many with how quickly the government could act.
The decision came amid the slow pace of the Assets Examination Committee in taking action against ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his associates for alleged corruption and his government's mishandling of several domestic issues, particularly the violence in the South.
However, the quick decision was announced without any supporting plans, indicating a possibility that it had a hidden agenda.
After first announcing the plan to reopen Don Muang for domestic flights only, the government then decided to open it for international flights as well.
Don Muang will need duty-free and commercial shops to serve travellers, as well as ground services and transport services. To provide all these, Airports of Thailand (AOT) needs to tender contracts, and it is questionable whether the bidding for these can be wrapped up in the 45 days set for Don Muang's reopening.
AOT has no details of which airlines will be allowed to return to Don Muang and how it will operate two airports simultaneously. Making matters worse, an executive of the company said on Wednesday that if Suvarnabhumi were to be partially closed for repairs, it would be capable of handling only 40 flights an hour. Then, some flights would be compelled to move to Don Muang.
Still, all changes entail a cost, let alone the costs of AOT in preparing Don Muang for reopening.
AOT is scheduled to submit its detailed plan to the Transport Ministry next week, but it is not sure if the plan will address all these issues.
While the preparation plan for Don Muang remains murky, what is more unclear is how the government will handle Suvarnabhumi Airport.
To date, the government still lets government agencies issue conflicting reports on the problems at the airport. Worst of all was the comment from Bannavit Kengrien, chairman of the National Legislative Assembly's committee inspecting problems at Suvarnabhumi, that the airport should be shut down entirely to allow runway repairs.
Amid all these pessimistic views about Suvarnabhumi, Surayud remained silent. The matter was left to Transport Minister Theera Haocharoen, while the premier went on a tour to lecture on the definition of a sufficiency economy.
However, Theera, a Navy officer, cannot be considered an expert on aviation. In fact, he created part of the confusion at the start. It took him over two months after taking office to visit Suvarnabhumi and see the problems with his own eyes.
A committee was formed to handle the damage. But rather than appointing someone from a neutral institution to convince the public that the damage was genuine - not a ploy to sabotage Thaksin's credibility - Theera named Tortrakul Yomnak as the committee chairman.
It is well known that Tortrakul is very much in the anti-Thaksin camp. Tortrakul himself was among the first to complain about the damage at the airport. If Tortrakul's information was reliable, then there was no need to waste the public's time by forming a committee. The question is whether Tortrakul's information can be substantiated. We should find out today, when he is scheduled to reveal his committee's findings.
It will also be interesting to see what the government does once the findings are released. Certainly, a detailed repair schedule is necessary, outlining the effect on airlines and the transportation of passengers and cargo.
Would it be too much to also ask the government for estimates of how much this will affect our economy?
It would also be beneficial to assign AOT to interview airlines, passengers and others involved for their reactions.
The hardest question of all is: if the repairs are to take a year, what will then happen to Don Muang? The government has so far refrained from commenting on whether its reopening will be permanent or temporary, but it seems so permanent.
All this points in one direction: the government was so hasty in making the decision to reopen Don Muang that many are becoming convinced that it is under pressure from the military to smoothen benefit-sharing between the Royal Thai Army and the Royal Thai Air Force.
It looks certain that the ginger will remain hot - even after the dissolution of the Council for National Security.
Sadly, the government has not settled the Suvarnabhumi scandals so as to revive Thailand's tarnished image, and it further compromised the country's bid to become an aviation hub by pulling open the doors to Don Muang.

Does the price of gas have you rethinking your vehicle needs?
The Energy Departement released a statement yesterday that we can expect gas prices to peak around $4.15 a gallon this summer and to hover around 4 bucks a gallon through 2009! Does this change your thinking if you're in the market for a new vehicle? Are you thinking about a hybrid, or downsizing from an SUV to a compact? Just curious. Thanks for stopping by!
Comments...from lauren
oh my god yes gas has made a huge impact on my driving and the type of vehicle i have. i have a jeep cherokee and am planning on trading it in for a small car that will be easier on gas. I have repairs that need to made to my car but because of the price i have to pay for gas i can't seem to get enough money saved to make the car repairs.. ! it's killing my pocket!

Pumpkin Angel Food Cake
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 45 mins
This is a recipe that my mom got from a co-worker. We haven't tried it yet, but we have been told that it is amazing how good it is for being so easy to prepare!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (18 ounce) package angel food cake mix (the 1 step mix)
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 cup water
- 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
- Mix the ingredients together, and bake as directed.
- When cooled, top cake with Cool Whip.
- Serve, and enjoy!
Most Helpful
Like some of the others here, I made this cake in a 9x13x2 pan. For the seasoning I just used a rounded teaspoon of cinnamon and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, which are the perfect spices for pumpkin and the only that I use. I mixed this using my Kitchen Aid and followed the package directions, which was 30 seconds on low and one minute on medium. Baked it for 33 minutes. The cake rose to just below the top of the pan, and I turned it upside down on a rake to cool. The cake came out light, airy, moist and sweet. I skipped the Cool Whip. I would suggest that if you want a whipped topping, to add a bit of real whipped cream on each slice when you serve it. The pumpkin flavor is not as pronounced as it is in a pie. As far as Angle Food cake is concerned, this is a great way to punch up a box mix and adding pumpkin is a great nutritional benefit. This was easy and I will make it again.
Very nice! I made it in a tube pan but I would not do it again. It doesn't puff up like a regular angel food cake. Next time I will make it in a 9x13 pan. I didn't put cool whip on it #1 b/c I don't like cool whip and #2 I didn't have any. My family thinks it would be better with the cool whip but I really like it just plain. It is very moist and tender and almost tastes like pumpkin pie!

A re-transplant from Manhattan back to the Philadelphia area in the Summer of '11, I have been enjoying all this City and its surrounds have to offer and exploring all that's new and improved since I last lived here in the late 90's. I've also been enjoying reconnecting with my family in Chestnut Hill and on the Main Line and especially with my two nephews whose Uncle Mark, up 'til now having been a once every couple of months visitor, has now become a much more enthusiastic, bona fide contributor to their future memories of growing up.
Rediscovering life on life's terms, I have vowed never again to be a casual or non-observer as it flows by. I am striving to learn and grow with each day and find fitness of mind and body that does not involve a running regimen. I'm not averse to physical exercise and expect always to want to love my body more than I already do, but don't look to me if you want a running partner in your life. Now walking, kayaking, etc. - I'm your guy.
I look forward to trying new things and relishing favorites, exploring new places and relaxing in those I know, cavorting with new ideas and standing resolutely on truths.

Indian agriculture: a big bet
Thinking of investing in India? There is one sector you may have overlooked: agriculture.
With its growing population, rising income levels and growing middle class, India has attracted the usual investment suspects of retail, aviation and FMCGs. But although it may not be glamorous and it may be politically complicated, India's agricultural sector is set to expand fast....
Govind Hariharan, executive director of the India, China, America Institute, tells beyondbrics that investment is the first step for the Indian food industry, before the report's other suggestions can be implemented.
"The appropriate infrastructure is really critical and that's where the foreign investments will show up and have the greatest returns", he said. "We have so much wastage in food products and all of those have to be removed before it becomes a really viable investment proposition. [The report] is jumping two steps ahead without having a platform to jump from."
The real opportunity will arise when the Indian market is integrated with its eastern neighbours. If the proposed highway from India to China is built through Myanmar, and if India's ports are linked to southeast Asian countries, supply chain infrastructure within India will be needed to ensure the new routes translate into new trade.
The McKinsey report may be bullish but Hariharan points out that agriculture in India is far from a simple investment: "Generally the politics involved with agriculture mean it isn't the easiest thing to get into, for foreign companies in particular."
In a pre-election year, it won't be easy to open the agricultural sector to foreign investment. But if productivity, accessibility and quality are to improve, it's a crucial step.

Examining trends based upon 50 years worth of data on incoming college students provides a great deal of insight not only into how higher education has changed, but also how society and public opinion have evolved over the past five decades. The makeup of the entering freshman class at colleges and universities in 1966 was much more homogenous than the composition of the cohort of students who started college in the fall of 2015. Colleges and universities in 1966 enrolled greater proportions of students who identified as male, White, religiously-affiliated, and middle- or upper-income compared to the entering freshman class of 2015. The increasing diversity at colleges and universities reflects demographic shifts in society, though students from certain racial/ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds remain underrepresented within higher education.
The CIRP Freshman Survey is designed for administration to incoming first-year students before they start classes at your institution.
The HERI Faculty Survey provides institutions with a comprehensive, research-based picture of key aspects of the faculty experience.

This year, 2015, marked the survey's fifth administration. The survey collected data from 19,580 student respondents attending 26 colleges and universities across the United States. In this research brief, we discuss students' experiences with witnessing discrimination on campus, analyze how students contest discrimination, and suggest practices that may lower instances of discrimination on campuses.
The College Senior Survey (CSS) has been administered by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) since 1993. This year marked the survey's 23rd administration; it contains data from 23,523 seniors graduating from 95 colleges and universities across the United States. In this research brief, we discuss students' future plans, students' loans, and views on social issues.
Developed in 2000, the Your First College Year survey (YFCY) was the first national survey designed specifically to measure student development in the first year of college, and it is distributed to students at the end of their first year of college. The YFCY was administered for the 16th time in the Spring of 2015, when 11,267 students at 46 institutions participated in the survey.

Fall Semester informationKevin Kinney
190A: Tps: Explaining Biology
Confused by reports of cures, treatments, preventions and the latest dietary recommendations? Wondering what someone means when they say they've found a new species, or that a chemical may have estrogenic effects on an animal? This course is one in communication, with biology as the subject. Students taking this course will spend most of their time listening to and reading about biological discoveries and translating the reports into forms that a non-scientist can understand and appreciate. The course will primarily use a speaking and listening format- students will be talking about science and explaining it to their peers. Students will learn to cut through the scientific jargon to make biology (and, by extension other science) more accessible to the public in general. No prior biology experience at the college level is needed for this course.

Big Ten blog | Rittenberg archive | College football index
Adam Rittenberg (1:04 PM)
Hey guys, sorry I'm late. Beanie Wells now doubtful for the game against USC. Not good for the Buckeyes. Let's chat!
Matt (Cincy, OH)
Is it foreal that beanie might not play for the buckeyes now? ESPN just said that he might not play..
Adam Rittenberg (1:04 PM)
Matt, he didn't respond well after practicing Wednesday night (took about 20 carries, no contact). OSU coaches feared this might happen, but they expected him to be near 100 percent.
Will J (Portland, OR)
So Beanie is now doubtful for the USC game. How much do you think this will affect the psyche of Ohio St., and in particular the offense?
Adam Rittenberg (1:05 PM)
It can go both ways, Will. Sometimes a team can come together around this, but the offensive line will have to be better than it was against Ohio. Dan Herron is a strong capable back and Brandon Saine brings speed to the mix, but Beanie definitely looked missed last Saturday
Adam Rittenberg (1:05 PM)
Also big for QB Todd Boeckman to rally the group.
Edwin from Washington D.C.
I was at the first two Penn State games and have to agree with #7 Anthony Scirrotto that something about this team feels special. Not just the final score or how they played, but their attitude. How do you the chances are of 11-1 (assuming we lose to OSU) PSU team going to the Rose Bowl or national championship game ahead of a two loss Big 12 or SEC team?
Adam Rittenberg (1:07 PM)
Edwin, I'd keep the competition in mind, but Penn State has been the Big Ten's most impressive team this year. Daryll Clark looks like the missing piece for an explosive offense, and Evan Royster could have a monster season. I have Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, but you never know.
Harry Washington DC
I think the Wisconsin v. Fresno State game has more implications to a BCS bowl bid than OSU v. USC does. If Wisconsin loses to Fresno there's no way they'll go to a BCS and vice versa. But with the quality oppenents of OSU or USC and since it's still early in the season I think they will be able to bounce back. What do you think?
Adam Rittenberg (1:08 PM)
Harry, that's an interesting take. Fresno obviously can't afford a loss. Wisconsin can still get to the BCS by winning the Big Ten, and the Badgers have OSU, PSU and ILL at home.
Jim ( Albany, NY)
Adam does Michigan have a shot going into Notre Dame this weekend?
Adam Rittenberg (1:08 PM)
More than a shot, in my opinion. I picked the Wolverines in that game. Their defensive line will be the difference against a Notre Dame offense that still looks soft to me.
Geoffrey (Mill Creek, WA)
Hi Adam... I have really enjoyed your blog thus far. Being a MSU Spartan alum living in the Seattle area makes it difficult to get up to the minute updates... so thank you. My question is this: Do you think MSU can end the season with only 2 losses, and make it into a) a BCS game... most likely the Rose Bowl or b) the Capital one Bowl?
Adam Rittenberg (1:09 PM)
Thanks, Geoffrey. I would say the Capital One Bowl is more likely, and the Spartans are probably more than a two-loss team. Ohio State obviously will be tough, even though the game is at home, and MSU needs to get over the hump against Michigan
Will J (Portland, OR)
Adam, which game will you be attending this weekend? Oregon v. Purdue should also be an exciting game.
Adam Rittenberg (1:10 PM)
Glad you mentioned Oregon-Purdue, because that's exactly where I'll be. Two pretty dynamic spread offenses. I'm especially excited to see Roper, Johnson and the Ducks' attack.
Ché (Orlando, FL)
Adam I got a chance to talk to Tress yesterday via his call in show. He and the team sound focused as ever. I have a good gut feeling, I really do. Do you think Tress has an ace up his sleeve?
Adam Rittenberg (1:11 PM)
He might need one with Beanie Wells now doubtful. This puts increased pressure on the OSU coaches to be creative. Terrelle Pryor has to be a bigger part of the game plan, and they can't come out with the vanilla offense they showed against Ohio. Won't work.
Kyle (Louisville, KY)
I saw where Illinois' coaches said that Juice Williams' mistakes against Eastern Illinois were "very correctable." Still, I can't help but wonder why he would throw 2 interceptions against Eastern Illinois in the first place. Should we expect more of the Juice we saw against Missouri, throwing 5 TD passes, or the Juice against Eastern, where he runs for 100+ yards?
Adam Rittenberg (1:12 PM)
Kyle, he's got to limit mistakes, but I'd be much more concerned about a veteran defense that, to this point, hasn't been able to stop the run.
Harry (Washington DC)
Ok, Wisconsin can win the Big Ten and still make it to the Rose Bowl even if they lose to Fresno State. However, if they don't win the Big Ten and finish with 2 losses (1 Fresno and 1 to the Big Ten Champ) what do you think their chances are of making a BCS?
Adam Rittenberg (1:13 PM)
Very slim. A lot hinges on that Penn State game in Mad-town.
Stephen ( Chattanoga
With the ACC not looking that great do you see Florida State having a shot at winning the ACC. When do you see them returning the national scene
Adam Rittenberg (1:13 PM)
It certainly looks like a league where anyone can make a strong push. I liked Jimbo Fisher's decision to go with his instincts and pick youth over experience at QB.
Aaron St. Paul, MN
Reading the Fresno papers, sounds like the Valley is hyped for this weekends game with Bucky. What type of athmosphere can the Badgers expect compared to other stadiums in the Big Ten?
Adam Rittenberg (1:15 PM)
It's a different type of rowdiness at Fresno State. Smaller stadium by far but potentially scarier fans.
Jamal (Baltimore)
When do you think Evans and Koroma will be back for PSU (if ever)? How far can the Lions go if they have to play without them?
Adam Rittenberg (1:16 PM)
No charges have been filed yet, so it's hard to say. Obviously Penn State is making sure it doesn't get burned by playing these guys and later having them charged with a crime. Not having Evans long-term really hurts. He's the Big Ten's top pass rusher.
Ann Arbor, MI
What is your take on McGuffie and Shaw? If Michigan can solidify the O-line, what do you expect from these RB's and consequently, the Michigan Season?
Adam Rittenberg (1:17 PM)
They've both shown the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, which will help with inexperienced quarterbacks adjusting to the new offense. The O-line is a greater concern with the injuries -- Ortmann's loss is big. But if the line stays together and the QBs limit mistakes, 7-8 wins is within reach.
rod, Iowa
Hawkeyes or Cyclones and Stanzy or Christensen
Adam Rittenberg (1:17 PM)
Hawkeyes. Stanzi.
Daniel (Minneapolis)
Given that we're in the 2nd year of the Brewster regime, what record do you feel the Gophers need in order to consider this season a success? Right now, I'd say 6-6 should be the absolute floor for this team, with 8 or even 9 wins being a (somewhat unrealistic) possibility. What are your thoughts?
Adam Rittenberg (1:18 PM)
Keep in mind that six wins would be five more than last year. That's a big jump for any program. Minny should sweep its nonconference schedule, even with RB Duane Bennett lost for the season. I love QB Adam Weber and the offense, but the defense will have some growing pains in league play. Six or seven wins is realistic.
Scott (Columbus, Ohio)
Hell Adam - What do you think the Nationwide opinion of Ohio State will be in they beat USC? Will they then be ranked number 1?
Adam Rittenberg (1:19 PM)
No question they'll be ranked No. 1 if they beat USC on the road. And if anyone needs more convincing, Ohio State likely will do so without Chris Wells. Quite a challenge there.
Austen (Tallahassee)
Who wins by more, PSU over Syracuse or FSU over Chattanooga?
Adam Rittenberg (1:20 PM)
Wow, tough call. I'll say Syracuse holds it together for a little while longer. FSU is my pick.
Nate (Madison)
Kellen Lewis = Randle El clone?
Adam Rittenberg (1:21 PM)
The comparisons are very real, and unlike Antwaan, Lewis has some good pieces around him and a decent defense. Lewis is probably a little better passer, but Randle El had a gift for the freakin' amazing play.
Keith (State University, AR)
I know it's still no BCS conference, but do you see the Sun Belt at least competing regularly with BCS schools in the next decade?
Adam Rittenberg (1:22 PM)
The Belt seems a little less inclined to settle for big paydays and is scheduling games with teams it can beat. Larry Blakeney does an excellent job at Troy, and Florida Atlantic is emerging in a state where there's more than enough high school talent to go around.
Adam (Chicago, IL)
Hi Adam, What are the prospects of Carlos Brown seeing some snaps this weekend in South Bend? Thanks.
Adam Rittenberg (1:24 PM)
I don't see it. He looks to be healthy, but Rich Rodriguez would be wise to test him out at running back first. If Threet and Sheridan continue to fizzle, you might see him for a snap or two, but not much.
Chris ( Erie, PA)
Does Penn St. have a legitimate shot at an outright big ten title, and do you think they have enough depth and fire power to put up the numbers the 1994 team did? Roar Lions!!
Adam Rittenberg (1:25 PM)
They'll have to be excellent on the road, which is tough with a new starting quarterback and two young running backs. The defensive line depth continues to be a concern, but man, is that offense fun to watch. There's an outside shot for the Lions, but it's still hard to go against Ohio State.
Phil: (Columbus, OH)
Adam, have you ever gotten the feel that Tressel might be playing media games? Bollman said this morning (Thurs) that Beanie was "75 percent." Not that I think it would throw USC off...
Adam Rittenberg (1:26 PM)
That could be true, Phil, but Tressel all along seemed concerned at how Beanie would respond from actually practicing, which he finally did last night. USC is preparing for Wells -- no doubt there -- so I don't know how much advantage there is in playing games.
Calvin (Traverse City, MI)
Is Notre Dame ANY better than last year? Will Navy beat them again this year?
Adam Rittenberg (1:27 PM)
Like a lot of folks, I was really disappointed in how Notre Dame played in its season opener. The lack of a run game is troubling, and San Diego State seemed to move the ball well on the defense. Yes, Notre Dame is better, but it might not be by much.
Mike (Milwaukee, WI)
I know that the papers here in Milwaukee are saying Travis Beckum will play Saturday but what type of impact do you think he will make playing in his first game this season?
Adam Rittenberg (1:30 PM)
When I asked Bielema about this last week, he said Travis would play against Marshall, but he didn't. I would guess he'll be out there against Fresno, but the impact might be a little less than people hope.
Scott (Chicago)
Is Northwestern the worst 2-0 team in the country? Giving up almost 500 yards to Duke!?
Adam Rittenberg (1:30 PM)
I wouldn't go that far, but Northwestern was totally outplayed in a game where it had a lot at stake. The offense better get on track Saturday against SIU. Having Tyrell Sutton fully healthy should help after he cramped up last week.
Will J (Portland, OR)
If Notre Dame has another dismal season like last year, will they fire Weis, or will he get one more shot?
Adam Rittenberg (1:31 PM)
The buyout is so big, the foolish contract extension so long, that I have a hard time seeing ND doing anything unless Weis wins fewer than five games.
Mike - Anaheim
Personally i think its a smart move for OSU to keep Beanie on the sideline. So they lose to USC, big deal. They still have a shot to get to the NC game or at least win the Big 10. If he plays Saturday and gets hurt worse, he could miss many games and lose any chance of going to a BCS game.
Adam Rittenberg (1:32 PM)
That's an interesting take, Mike. But Ohio State players seemed convinced that because of the last two title game losses, they needed to be perfect this season to have a shot. It'd be hard to see a 1-loss OSU team back there.
Joshua (Orlando, Fl.)
Adam , after watching the UCF-USF game , how much did it help the USF program to join a weak BCS conference and do you see UCF being a part of the Big East's expansion plans?
Adam Rittenberg (1:33 PM)
It'll be tough for the Big East to expand because it's already at 16 for basketball. Could you see a 17-team basketball league? What a scheduling headache. But you're right, UCF football should be on a bigger stage.
Nick (NJ)
Who you got tonight? The Mighty Knights in Scarlet or the wimpy Tar Heels?
Adam Rittenberg (1:34 PM)
The Knights didn't look too mighty against Fresno State at home, but they'll bounce back.
Lou (Bethesda, MD)
Adam, speaking of Weis's contract - why do the universities put themselves in this situation with these huge buyout, ridiculously long-term contracts? Especially when it seems the coach can break it whenever they want? Do the coaches really have that much control?
Adam Rittenberg (1:35 PM)
When trustees and boosters get involved, logic and reason go out the window. Add in some fear about losing a coach to the NFL, and these things get out of hand.
David, DC
There are other teams in the Pac 10 beyond USC. Take a look at the top 25. Don't sleep on ASU,CAL,and Oregon. It is just too bad that the consolation prize for 2nd place in the pac 10 is the silly Holiday Bowl.
Adam Rittenberg (1:36 PM)
That's an excellent point, David. As a Pac-10 guy growing up near Cal, it always frustrated me that the Holiday Bowl was the No. 2 bowl. You've got to get your second-place team playing in January somewhere. Cal went to the Citrus Bowl as the second-place team in 1991, but the bowl agreements have suffered since. Nothing against the Holiday Bowl, but January carries more prestige. No way am I sleeping on those three teams, especially Oregon.
scott (tucson)
hey adam. big missouri tiger fan here. i was looking at the offensive statistics for nevada and theyre very impressive. do me and my tigers have anything to worry about or will we shut them down and put up 52 points...again. Thanks!
Adam Rittenberg (1:38 PM)
Scott, you guys should be fine because Nevada always has issues on defense and made some questionable coaching moves last week against Texas Tech. You're right about the pistol offense, though, a very potent system.
Ali (Diamond Bar)
BYU v UCLA...who wins? and how?
Adam Rittenberg (1:39 PM)
I like BYU at home in this one. Arguably the biggest home game for the Cougars in recent memory, and Kevin Craft won't be able to survive all those mistakes again. A close game, but BYU takes it.
Ben H Syracuse, NY
Who is better Wisconsin or Penn State?
Adam Rittenberg (1:39 PM)
Ben, you have no idea how much I've wrestled with that question. Wisconsin barely has the edge in my power rankings and can keep it by beating Fresno, but Penn State looks awfully good.
Seth (lafayette, In)
If Purdue pulls off the upset (IF) and Painter has a great day, can he join the Heisman talks?
Adam Rittenberg (1:41 PM)
That's an interesting point, Seth. Purdue is campaigning for Painter, but he has no real chance. Some big wins could obviously change that a bit. Those marquee W's are what's missing from Painter's record-setting resume
JAP (Dallas)
Who should I start on my fantasy team? Ricky Williams or Vince Young?
Adam Rittenberg (1:41 PM)
Don't ask me about fantasy football. I had the Seahawks defense last week. Brutal.
Jason (louisville, KY)
I'm wondering if you have had a chance to see the Ernie Davis movie, "The Express"? The world premiere is this weekend and may be the best football Syracuse plays this year!
Adam Rittenberg (1:42 PM)
I haven't seen it but look forward to. I know the Northwestern football team saw a special screening this morning because many of the scenes were filmed in their home stadium. It seems like an excellent movie.
Sam (Evanston, IL)
Looking at the NU offense, I'd say it was pretty fluid when Bacher had the greenlight and he was on target (which was commonplace). We know that the new offense dictates that he throws shorter passes, but I think his gunslinger mentality is interfering with his adjusting. Might we see more of that if the passing offense is not in sync?
Adam Rittenberg (1:43 PM)
He makes an awful lot of plays on third-and-long and not enough on first down, so the gunslinger thing is very true there. Getting first-down yardage is what has separated this offense from the ones Brett Basanez ran. They'll get their timing down eventually, but it's important not to abandon the run, even with a young O-line.
Travis ( Los Angeles, CA)
What does Purdue need to do to knock off the Ducks?

Control the clock as much as possible. Purdue's offense, as Joe Tiller points out, isn't as big-play oriented as Oregon's. It's important for Kory Sheets to get going early and for the defense to force a first-quarter turnover. Purdue's coaches have all but acknowledged that they have a major speed deficit in this game.

Adam Penn State is beginning to get the recognition they deserve but are still losers to Ohio State in many peoples eyes. How doyou see it?
Adam Rittenberg (1:45 PM)
It's in Columbus, so it's hard for me to go against the Buckeyes. But it will be interesting to see how they respond -- good or bad -- from the USC game. If confidence begins to fade and the PSU offense surges like it has been lately, a win there isn't out of the question.

Do you think that Michigan State will beat Michigan this year? I am sick of us losing to them.
Adam Rittenberg (1:46 PM)
I do think this is the year for the Spartans, but they need better play from the defensive line before heading to Ann Arbor. Javon Ringer should have a big day in that game. He said he'd be embarrassed if he never beat Michigan.
Zach O (New York, NY)
Adam do you foresee Wisconsin employing a more pass intensive offense to start the game against Fresno this weekend or is it just back to business with rushing plays?
Adam Rittenberg (1:47 PM)
They've got to start with the run and pass when necessary. Wisconsin's biggest advantage always will be the huge offensive line and the huge running backs, so you have to start there. I'll say this, though. Allan Evridge will need to make several critical throws to win the game.
Mike (Altoona, PA)
Come on Adam, start drinking the blue kool aid in Happy Valley now because this team is on a mission! Are you giving OSU and Wisc the edge because PSU plays them on the road? To be honest, neither team scares me!
Adam Rittenberg (1:48 PM)
Mike, love the confidence in your team, but I'm still concerned about that defensive line. If Evans and Koroma come back, they should be OK, but Penn State has yet to face any adversity on the field. You better believe they'll face some in Columbus, if not Madison as well.
Jon (Pensacola, FL)
When did Clemson become a bad team? Does one bad loss make you a bad team?
Adam Rittenberg (1:49 PM)
Not at all, but one loss in that manner certainly raises some concerns.

Adam whos season will Michigan spoil this year among Ohio state, Penn state and wisconsin?
Adam Rittenberg (1:50 PM)
The Wolverines could gain some confidence from beating ND, and they have a bye week before hosting Wisconsin. The other two games are on the road, and I don't see Michigan winning those.
Adam Rittenberg (1:50 PM)
Hey guys, sorry to cut this a bit short. Got to get back to Beanie-mania. Let's do it again next week, same time, same place. And don't hesitate to send me your questions on the blog.
