The international community is committed to helping partner countries meet the Millennium Development Goal of halving global poverty by 2015. The good practices outlined in these volumes respond to the concerns of the effective use of aid and provide practical steps to be undertaken.
The results of the OECD-DAC survey on progress in harmonisation and alignment.
Translating the Monterrey Consensus into Practice: the Contribution by the European Union.
In 2011 the international development community committed to make development co-operation more effective to deliver better results for the world's poor. At the mid-point between commitments endorsed in the High-Level Forum in Busan, Korea in 2011 and the 2015 target date of the Millennium Development Goals, this report takes stock of how far we have come and where urgent challenges lie.
This report - a first snapshot of the state-of-play since Busan - reveals both successes and shortfalls. It draws on the ten indicators of the Global Partnership monitoring framework. Despite global economic turbulence, changing political landscapes and domestic budgetary pressure, commitment to effective development co-operation principles remains strong. Longstanding efforts to change the way that development co-operation is delivered are paying off. Past achievements on important aid effectiveness commitments that date back to 2005 have been sustained. Nevertheless, much more needs to be done to translate political commitments into concrete action. This report highlights where targeted efforts are needed to make further progress and to reach existing targets for more effective development co-operation by 2015.
In the Accra Agenda for Action (2008), donors and developing country governments commit to deepening their engagement with civil society organisations (CSOs). Better aid requires a broader understanding of the aid effectiveness agenda and a place for CSOs as development actors in their own right and as aid donors, recipients and partners. This book is a resource for implementing the recommendations on civil society and aid effectiveness emerging from the Accra High Level Forum and its preparatory process. These recommendations address a broad community, including developing country governments, donors, and CSOs from developing and developed countries.
After three days of intense negotiations (Accra, Ghana, 2-4 Sept) developed and developing countries endorsed the Accra Agenda for Action.
Aid plays an important role in reducing poverty and inequality, stimulating growth, building capacity, promoting human development and accelerating the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Effective aid is critical both to maximise the impact of aid and to achieve long-term, sustainable development.
Aid to the health sector has increased substantially over the last 20 years from USD 5 billion in 1990 to USD 21.8 billion in 2007. Consisting of a growing and diverse range of actors, aid to the health sector faces complex governance and management challenges: for example, donors inadvertedly invest in duplicate and fragmented efforts, while partners are unable to take full responsibility and leadership. By reviewing these challenges against the aid effectiveness principles outlined in the landmark 2005 Paris Declaration and 2008 Accra Agenda for Action, this report provides insight and expounds lessons from the health sector to the broader challenges of aid effectiveness. Health, then, is used as a "tracer" sector to help assess the risks and benefits of the diverse range of actors, and promote co-ordination and coherence among development programmes.
This work is the result of a collaboration between the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness – an inclusive, international forum with the aim of improving aid delivery – through its Task Team on Health as a Tracer Sector and the World Trade Organization.

Palazzo Rosa Guest House - Venice
The Palazzo Rosa Guest House is a budget Venice townhouse in the Cannaregio district of the city. Sitting on the Santi Apostoli canal, the Palazzo Rosa is within easy walking distance of most of the city's major landmarks. St Mark's Square, with its iconic basilica, is just 10 minutes' walk from this central Venice townhouse. The famous Rialto Bridge, the oldest bridge spanning the Grand Canal, is a mere 6-minute walk. For something a little bit different, take the 4-minute stroll to the Teatro Malibran. This opera house dates from the 17th century, and is named after the famous opera singer Maria Malibran who performed here in the 1800s. Also 4 minutes on foot from the Palazzo Rosa, you'll find the beautiful church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, also known as "the Marble Church." If you want to travel further afield, to Murano or the Venice Lido for example, the Ca' D'Oro waterbus stop is a quick 3-minute walk away from the townhouse.
The Palazzo Rosa Guest House is located within a historic building which still retains original features including intricately decorated ceilings and period frescoes. Detailed marble flooring and wide, open windows create a light, airy feel throughout. The townhouse offers its guests a continental breakfast each morning; this is served in the lovely breakfast room, which comes complete with views over the canal outside. Alternatively, you can have your breakfast served to your room. The Palazzo Rosa is also pet-friendly so you won't have to leave your four-legged friend behind.
Previous guests of the Palazzo Rosa Guest House appreciate the townhouse's excellent canal-facing location, near the historic center. They also enjoy the historic feel of the building itself and the many intricate details of its décor.

Five Town Communities That Care
Rating: 5 stars 3 3 reviews
219 Meadow Street P.O. Box 1135 Rockport ME 04843 USA
The mission of Five Town Communities That Care is to promote healthy youth development and to prevent problem adolescent behaviors such as substance abuse, suicide, violence, delinquency, school drop-out, and teen pregnancy. We also seek to foster increased collaboration and cooperation in communities in order to best serve the needs of their youth.
Since we began programming in 2004, we have seen the following results (as measured on the Maine Youth Drug and Alcohol Use Survey, or MYDAUS--based on the CTC Youth Survey) Lifetime substance use: • Cocaine: down 85% • Marijuana: down 66% • Hallucinogens: down 49% • Chewing Tobacco: down 44% • Ecstasy: down 39% • Stimulants: down 39% • Cigarettes: down 35% • Alcohol: down 28% • Inhalants: down 18% Previous 30-day substance use: • Cocaine: down 100% • Cigarettes: down 92% • Marijuana: down 83% • Chewing Tobacco: down 66% • Inhalants: down 62% • Ecstasy: down 47% • Stimulants: down 35% • Alcohol: down 26% Heavy Use: • Binge Drinking (five or more drinks in a row in the last two weeks): down 69% • Pack or more of cigarettes a day: down 100% Antisocial Behaviors: • Taken a Handgun to School: down 100% • Sold Illegal Drugs: down 88% • Suspended from school: down 63% • Drunk or High at school: down 54% • Carried a Handgun w/0 permission: down 47% • Stolen or Tried to Steal a Vehicle: down 37% • Attacked Someone With Intent to Harm: down 9%
Target demographics:
We focus primarily on middle school children, their parents, and those who work with them in the community's churches, schools, and businesses.
Direct beneficiaries per year:
We have served more than 50% of all the area middle school students who currently live in our service area with direct service programming. We also provide training and technical assistance to schools, businesses and groups who work with area youth.
We provide some direct-service programs (STAR, Guiding Good Choices, Math and Literacy Mentors), support other organizations in the community who are implementing prevention programming (local schools delivering the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program or the Life Skills Training Program, for example), provide training and technical assistance (in suicide or inhalant abuse prevention, evaluation, or coalition development), and actively work to promote increased collaboration amongst the community's youth serving organizations.

I've been involved with FTCTC since its inception. I was at the initial training events held at the local YMCA in 2003 and have served in some capacity ever sense. I am currently part of the Community Coalition and on the Youth Involvement Workgroup.
I have run a Youth Forum at the High School, taught the Guiding Good Choices parenting classes, and served in various other capacities.
The successes are well documented.

FTCTC has brought together all segments of our community - building relationships and improving communication amongst all of us who work with teens. Rather than just putting our community's weight, money, and efforts behind someone's pet project, the programs implemented are all tested and effective programs. The programs are strictly tracked and evaluated to ensure fidelity to the program and effectiveness - as such, we know we're not wasting our time/efforts/money and have concrete evidence we are truly making a difference.
Frankly, I can not speak highly enough of FTCTC and the work that they continue to do in the Five Town community.

A very good coincidence, often leading to something really awesome.

The action of making happy discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of some thing not initially in quest of.
'I lost a needle in a hay stack last week, however whilst looking for it I found the farmers daughter' - I had to consider this (as she was pretty and willing) a stroke of serendipity.

Something pleasant or useful found while looking for something else. Inspired by a Persian fairy story, "The Three Princes of Serendip".
I initially wanted to date Moira, but she turned out to be an awful bore and she snorted when she laughed, which I can't stand. She did however get me in touch with a car dealer who makes really cool custom cars, top quality and dirt cheap, three of which I bought within a year. That was a real piece of serendipity.

This unit is a one bedroom, one bath, 807 sq ft condominium located on the sixth floor. The unit has new hardwood floors in the living/dining area, ceramic tile in the kitchen and bath, and new carpeting in the bedroom. The kitchen has stainless steal appliances and is fully stocked with all you'll need to prepare and serve meals. There are two flat panel TV's, a 42' LCD in the livingroom and a 32' LED in the bedroom. The 180 degree city view is awesome especially at night. The unit has a community pool, hot tub in the center of the complex and fitness center on the 3rd floor.
The unit is centrally located in downtown San Diego in the Gaslamp Quarter. This is the perfect location for vacationers and conventioners. The Convention Center and Trolley are a 3 blk walk, Petco Park is a 4 blk walk and the only grocery store (Ralphs)downtown is just 3 blks away also. The Gaslamp is in the center of all the action, restaurants, clubs, live theaters and movie theaters, the boardwalk, the Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum, the Embarcadero Park, Seaport Village, numerous events and activities.
We live locally and will meet with you upon your arrival to provide you with all the information you will need to enjoy your stay. We use the condo as often as possible and are particular to whom we rent it to. We are limiting the number rentals we are willing to rent the condo to reduce the wear and tear.
Keywords: apartment, one bedroom
We live in Escondido, California, which is about 40 miles northwest of downtown San Diego. We love to travel and would consider swapping time at our condo for another location.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2010
We have always wanted to purchase a place downtown and have really enjoyed the weekends here. We weren't originally going to rent the unit out, but realized that there would be many times when we just couldn't find the time to be here.
The most unique benefit is the location. There really is no better location in all of San Diego. I think that will become apparent from the moment you arrive.
Excellent location in Gaslamp district. Enjoyed 3 block walk to Petco Park.
Ron was easy to deal with.
Bed was comfortable.
Would visit again.
Gorgeous condo in the heart of Gaslamp. Ron was generous enough to wait for our arrival on our late flight
If you want the perfect accommodation in central San Diego...look no further.
Located in the heart of the Gaslamp quarter where all the action is on your doorstep. Very comfortable, exceptionally clean, neat and spacious apartment for two. Lovely, well equipped kitchen to cook light meals in. Ralphs grocery store is walking distance from the apartment. And the secure parking was a bonus. Convention centre two minutes/2 blocks away. We could not ask for more. The owners were very attentive and available to answer questions and give advice. If we go to San Diego again, this is where we WANT to stay!!! Thank you Ron, we enjoyed our stay and will refer all our friends, for sure!
Very nice and clean appartement. Great location. I would go back.
This was our 3rd stay at this condo. The owners keep the unit very clean and up to date.
They respond immediately to any requests. The location is perfect for anyone wanting to be in the Gas Lamp area. We will definitely stay here again.
If you are after a brilliant San Diego, Gas Lamp district location and want the facilities with comforts of home, then this is the place for you!
Our holiday was made that much more enjoyable due to this fabulous apartment in such an amazing location.
Highly recommended!!!
2 blks from Convention Center, 3 blks to Petco Park, 4 blks to Seaport Village and board walk

Not Ready to Change Baseball History?Roundup: Pop Culture & the Arts ... Movies, Documentaries and Museum Exhibits
"The Curious Case of Curt Flood," a new HBO Sports documentary (Wednesday, 9 p.m.), raises a tantalizing question: what if Flood's legal challenge to baseball's reserve clause had had a better advocate before the United States Supreme Court than Arthur J. Goldberg, a former associate justice?
Flood lost the case by a 5-to-3 vote. Would a better argument have swayed two justices to rule against Major League Baseball? Had Flood won, free agency would probably have arrived a few years before it was achieved in arbitrators' rulings in favor of Catfish Hunter, and for Andy Messersmith and Dave McNally.
Goldberg looked like an ideal choice to deliver an oral argument before some of his former colleagues on the court. He was a successful labor lawyer and former general counsel to the United Steelworkers of America. He was a baseball fan who carried a coffee urn as a vendor at Wrigley Field in the 1920s.
Flood needed a lawyer who could deftly argue against the reserve clause, which tied players unilaterally to their teams until they traded or discarded them. Players had no rights to sell themselves to the highest bidders in this relationship, as Flood learned when he was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1969 to the Philadelphia Phillies. He refused to report to the Phillies, starting him on his legal odyssey....

Fecal fistulas are fairly frequently encountered by those engaged in the practice of surgery. Usually they arise as an unexpected and distressing complication of abdominal operations. Sometimes they heal spontaneously and all that is required of the surgeon is "masterly inactivity." The eradication of others, however, may be an extremely difficult task—one that will tax the skill of the most resourceful operator. There are certain well founded principles which may be used as a guide in the treatment of fecal fistulas and which may expedite the task of the physician and the recovery of the patient. To ignore these rules is often to invite poor results or disaster and, as many of them have not been clearly elucidated before, we will set them forth in the following paragraphs.

Here's my D4 cinema hybrid rig...
14 comments
Thanks +Suzette Mariel and +Nicolas Amelio-Ortiz . I've put a lot of effort to assemble the cinema rig that's right for me.
I wrote about putting together this rig on my blog: http://www.cineserge.com/2012/08/putting-together-right-dslr-shoulder-rig.html
Larry Carney Jr.
very cool +Serge Batyrshin . man I got my rail system today and I'm waiting on my matte box to arrive later this week with some more gear.
10-4, +Larry Carney Jr. . I think that I came to the point, where I'll stop tinkering with the rig, and go shoot more... Good luck with your gear!
Serge Batyrshin
I also wanted to add that this rig is a hybrid shoulder/tripod rig, that could be reconfigured in about 30 seconds. It also has a follow focus, and record button relocated to left grip. Ninja 2 attaches to the small articulating arm for the operator. The other, bigger articulating arm is for AC monitor. Automation bracket is for focus/zoom remote controller.
I know exactly what you mean +Serge Batyrshin . You gotta get out there and shoot ... I mean , you know ,that's where the lifeblood is at. But ,alas, we're all victims of the tinkering fever.
Yeah ,man, I'll definitely put up some pictures . I think we may have gotten the same pieces man I knew it right when I saw those blue turn knobs . There are some pretty nicely lathed pieces of aluminum on there ( mine is the Fotasy by EZ Photo)

As a director I am so glad that DOPs like you are sooo keen and put together such great equipment to make the film look gorgeous!
+Larry Carney Jr. Awesome! I'm ordering Kinotehnik viewfinder for my D4 rig. I still might get the Ninja 2 as well. Shooting a teaser for full feature film to pitch to some important people, so I will be using this rig to make the movie magic!
+Peta McLoughlin Absolutely. I've been tinkering with equipment for a long long time, trying to make it as perfect a setup as possible, so that it can do what the director and DP needs it to do! These tools have to be used to tell a story; I take my job as a DP very seriously .. while having fun on the set as well ;)

Three Recent Supreme Court Decisions That Reveal Dangerous Intentions
Posted on Jun 6, 2012
By Bill Blum
(Page 2)
In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in a now-familiar refrain, chided the majority for departing from the court's prior precedents on double jeopardy, elevating form over substance and giving the state a "proverbial second bite of the apple."
Blueford is scheduled to be re-arraigned on all charges later this month in Arkansas.
Perry v. Perez
If the Supreme Court handed Arkansas a second bite in Blueford, it gave Gov. Rick Perry and his Texas Republican cronies the entire apple in this set of three companion voting rights cases handed down in January.
Square, Site wide
When the 2010 census revealed that the population of Texas had grown by 4.2 million, the state Legislature was required to redraw congressional districts to comply with the one-person, one-vote standards of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. But instead of redrawing the electoral map to reflect a decades-long upsurge in the state's Latino population, the GOP-controlled Legislature crafted a plan that undercut the political clout of both Hispanic and black communities. The redistricting was so imbalanced that even before the Voting Rights Act review process was completed, civil rights groups persuaded a three-judge federal panel in San Antonio to scuttle the Republican remap and craft a more evenhanded plan of their own.
Perry and the state Legislature took umbrage and the Roberts court came to the rescue. In a unanimous unsigned "per curiam" opinion released in January, the court ruled that the three-judge panel had exceeded its authority and had failed to show proper deference to the Legislature's policy judgments on where to place new voting districts and reposition existing ones.
Whether the court's four Democrat-appointed justices joined the decision out of genuine conviction or because of an adherence to notions of judicial restraint that their conservative brethren have long since abandoned, the ruling likely will result in new district boundaries favoring Republicans in the November elections.
Looking Ahead
As scary as these three decisions are, they're merely a warm-up for the main act to come later this month when the court hands down its Arizona and Obamacare opinions. If the court, as many predict, strikes down the Affordable Care Act and upholds the Arizona immigration law, it will confirm that a profound alteration of the nation's legal architecture is under way, aimed at rewriting constitutional principles at the expense of working people, minorities and the poor.
Even if President Obama is re-elected—and with the retirement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg anticipated in the near future, keeping him in the White House has taken on added urgency—the court's Republican-appointed majority will endure. The 2012-13 docket already includes a constitutional challenge to affirmative action. A ruling on same-sex marriage and a re-examination of the Citizens United decision as it applies to state elections could also be in the offing. At least one thing can be said of the court's Republican appointees: They're neither slow to act nor shy about the reach of their intentions.

It was a tale of two halves. Stanford recovered from a shaky start and came on like gangbusters in the first half, scoring four touchdowns in the second quarter. At the half, Stanford had a seven-point lead, a total yardage advantage of 275 yards to 217 yards, and a lot of momentum.
The turning point came in the third quarter. Stanford's first three possessions of the third quarter gained a total of only 17 yards and no first downs. Stanford gave the ball back to Oregon on all three possessions. Oregon's three possessions in the third quarter, on the other hand, gained 197 yards and produced three touchdowns.
Oregon's domination of the third quarter allowed Oregon to turn its seven-point halftime deficit into a 14-point lead. As it turned out, that was the ballgame.
Some of Stanford's key offensive statistics:
|First Half
|Second Half
|Rushing Attempts
|Rushing Yards
|Rushing Yds/Att.
|Pass Attempts
|Pass Completions
|Passing Yards
|Passing Yds/Att.
|Total Offense
The running game was working for Stanford in the first half, as Stanford averaged 6.5 yards per carry. Excluding sacks, Stanford averaged an outstanding 7.2 yards per carry in the first half, with Anthony Kimble running for 115 yards.
The second half was a completely different story. Stanford averaged only 1.3 yards per carry in the second half. Excluding sacks, Stanford's second half average was just 2.6 yards per carry (29 yards on 11 carries). On those crucial first three possessions of the second half, Stanford tried five running plays and gained just eight yards.
For the game as a whole, Stanford averaged 4.4 yards per carry. That's a good average, and most times, we would be happy to average 4.4 yards per carry. However, in this game, the overall average of 4.4 yards per carry hides the fact that there was such a big difference between the first half and the second half. Stanford's inability to run effectively in second half, especially on the first three possessions of the third quarter, was a big part of the story of the game.
For the season, Stanford is averaging 4.4 yards per carry. Excluding sacks, Stanford is averaging 5.5 yards per carry. That's very good. Only twice in the last 25 seasons has Stanford averaged over 4.0 yards per carry for the season (4.4 yds/carry in 2001 and 4.1 yds/carry in 1999). The productivity of Stanford's running game to date is a good sign, and a welcome change. In the last five seasons, Stanford's average yards per carry have been:
|Yards Per Carry
|* First three games
|Yards Per Carry
(excluding sacks)
|* First three games
There is a long way to go this season. I doubt that Stanford will maintain its current average of 4.4 yards per carry. Still, Stanford's performance to date in the running game looks like progress. However, Stanford needs to figure out what happened to the running game in the second half against Oregon, and needs to fix it.
Last week, I suggested a benchmark of 7.0 yards per attempt for Stanford's passing game. In the first half, Stanford's passing game met that standard, with 7.6 yards per attempt.
In the second half, with Oregon taking the running game away from Stanford, Stanford needed to be able to rely more heavily on its passing game. But Stanford's passing game instead became less effective, averaging just 4.6 yards per attempt in the second half. That's far below the level of productivity we need to make this offense work.
Most damaging was the lack of productivity on Stanford's first three possessions of the third quarter. Stanford completed just 1 of 5 passes for 9 yards on those three possessions. That was not all on the quarterback – there were a couple of dropped passes during those three possessions. But the bottom line was that the passing game was not able to take up the slack when the running game slowed down.
For the game as a whole, Stanford averaged just 6.0 yards per pass attempt, roughly the same as Stanford's average in the UCLA game, and well below Stanford's 7.7 yards per attempt in the San Jose State game.
For the season, Stanford is averaging 6.3 yards per pass attempt. That's the lowest in the Pac-10, and it's well short of my proposed benchmark of 7.0 yards per pass attempt. With some better accuracy and fewer drops, Stanford could keep a few more drives going, and could bring its average yards per attempt up to 7.0 or so.
Some of Stanford's key defensive statistics from the Oregon game:
|First Half
|Second Half
|Rushing Attempts
|Rushing Yards Allowed
|Rushing Yds/Att. Allowed
|Pass Attempts
|Pass Completions Allowed
|Passing Yards Allowed
|Passing Yds/Att. Allowed
|Total Yards Allowed
|Points Allowed
|Opponent's Turnovers
Statistically, Stanford's defense against Oregon was awful. The defense gave up 589 yards, which is the 12th-most yards allowed in a game in Stanford history. Oregon actually had 602 yards of total offense at one point late in the game, but went backwards while trying to run out the clock. The 624 yards that Stanford allowed to UCLA earlier this season were the 8th-most yards ever allowed by Stanford in a game, which gives Stanford two of the 12 worst defensive performances in its history in the last few weeks.
Stanford's defensive statistics against Oregon don't show such a dramatic difference between the first half and the second half as we saw with respect to the offensive statistics. The first half was bad, and the second half was even worse. One note on the numbers: Oregon actually ran the ball better in the second half than these numbers suggest. Before the last two Oregon possessions when Oregon was running out the clock, Oregon had 151 rushing yards and 6.6 yards per carry in the second half.
The big play was once again a problem for the Stanford defense. Oregon gained 209 yards on just four plays – touchdown passes of 71, 50, and 33 yards, and a 55-yard run.
However, big plays were not the only problems for Stanford's defense. Stanford's pass defense allowed Oregon virtually to pass at will on shorter patterns. On any given play, it seemed like Oregon had a receiver or two who lined up without a Stanford defender anywhere near them. The short, quick passes were open, and Oregon took them. Dixon's completion rate was 75%. He completed 27 passes, only 4 of which gained more than 17 yards. It was too easy for him. Stanford needs to fix that.
On Oregon's three drives in the third quarter, the Ducks were dominant offensively. On those three drives, Dixon picked apart the Stanford defense, completing an impressive 12 out of 12 passes for 156 yards. Oregon added 41 rushing yards on nine attempts. Altogether, Oregon had 197 yards, 11 first downs, and three touchdowns on those three possessions. Stanford's defense managed to force Oregon into only two third down situations, both of which Oregon converted. Those three drives gave Oregon more than enough to win.
Granted, Oregon is leading the Pac-10 in total offense (537 yards per game), so the Oregon game was a tough test. But things aren't going to get much easier any time soon. In the next two games, Stanford must face the second and third most productive offenses in the Pac 10: Arizona State (450.5 yards per game) and USC (462 yards per game). Stanford's defense needs to come up with some answers in a hurry.
The Cardinal did have some good moments defensively. The two turnovers forced by the defense, along with the one turnover forced by Stanford's special teams, were a big positive. After forcing only one turnover in two games, it was encouraging to see Stanford come up with three takeaways against Oregon.
Stanford continues to make a relatively high number of tackles for loss – seven tackles for loss against Oregon, and an average of 7.7 tackles for loss per game for the season (third in the conference behind Oregon and Oregon State, at 8.0 each).
Overall, however, Stanford's defensive statistics are not a pretty picture. For the season, Stanford's defense ranks ninth in the Pac-10 in scoring defense and 10th in total defense, rushing defense, and pass efficiency defense. Nationally, Stanford ranks 92nd in scoring defense, 100th in total defense, 93rd in rushing defense, and 111th in pass efficiency defense (out of 119 teams).
In its two conference games, Stanford is now allowing an average of 606.5 yards per game and 50 points per game. You can't win football games being that generous.
Random Numbers
After three games, Anthony Kimble is on a pace to finish the regular season with 1,072 rushing yards. The Stanford single-season record for rushing yards is 1,084 yards by Tommy Vardell in 1991...
Kimble leads the Pac-10 and is fourth in the nation in all purpose yards, with 220.7 yards per game. He's on a pace to gain 2,648 all purpose yards in the regular season, which would break Glyn Milburn's single-season school record of 2,222 all purpose yards in 1990. I certainly hope Kimble doesn't keep going at his current pace, however, because he's getting more than half his yards on kickoff returns, and if he continues to gain kickoff return yards at his current rate, it would mean our opponents were kicking off far too often...
Bo McNally continues to lead the Pac-10 in tackles with 10.7 tackles per game...
True freshman Taylor Skaufel had nine tackles against Oregon, leading all of Stanford's defensive backs in tackles. For the season, he's fourth on the team in tackles (behind McNally, Maynor, and Osaisai, tied with Snyder). Who saw this coming? This is a guy who wasn't highly recruited, wasn't offered by the Harris staff, and wasn't on our radar until Harbaugh offered him in January. Now he's getting major playing time as a first-year player, and showing some promise...
There was a little-noticed statistical oddity last season: Stanford's opponents were successful on an extraordinary 18 out of 19 field goal attempts, with the only miss coming in the last game of the season. This year, things are balancing out a little bit. Stanford's opponents have made only 3 of 7 field goal attempts so far...
At T.C. Ostrander's current rate of 276 passing yards per game, he would end up with 3,312 passing yards. That would be the second highest total in Stanford history, behind Steve Stenstrom's 3,627 passing yards in 1993. The only Stanford quarterbacks to pass for 3,000 yards in a season have been Stenstrom, John Elway (3,242 yards in 1982), and Todd Husak (3,092 yards in 1998)...

In the world of sports, nicknames are as common as they come.
Some are earned, like "The Great One" or "Super Mario," while some are bestowed upon an athlete from the media and the fans like "Sid the Kid."
But for some players the lack of originality behind their respective nicknames is a downright shame. After all, a nickname is something for the fans to latch onto and the play-by-play announcers to embellish.
There are players in the NHL who currently have nicknames that do not quite represent them as well as it should. Here are realistic nicknames for four of the NHL's biggest stars.
